Contemporary fantasy vs Urban Fantasy

Hi all, for the purposes of transparency and so that readers are not confused when they pick up ADOBAM, I decided to address the debate of why ADOBAM is categorized as contemporary fantasy vs urban fantasy.

For reference: Contemporary fantasy is fantasy set in the modern-day context and in the normal world. Urban fantasy is a subgenre of contemporary fantasy, but the difference is that urban fantasy is always set in a densely populated area like a city.

ADOBAM primarily takes place in our modern world with travel to other magical/fantasy realms. While a significant portion of book 1 takes place in NYC, it also takes place in Scotland, with travel to other locations in subsequent books. An urban setting is part of the story, but it is not the main setting for this book.

Hope this helps.

A note about ADOBAM

Hello my lovely readers! As I gear up for the release of A Dream of Blood and Magic I wanted to take a moment to be completely transparent about the romance/spicy content in ADOBAM.

This is book one of the Spirit Marked series which IS a romantasy that will span at minimum three planned books. Its goal is to establish the framework for not only Avery's magical storyline of self-discovery but her journey toward finding her one true love as well.

Book one is extremely tame in terms of romance/spice (doesn't take center stage until the last 20-15% of the book) compared to all my previous works, but this was done on purpose as one of my firm beliefs when writing romance is that the spice needs a deep emotional connection for it to hit the romantic beats I aim for in all of my books.

I don't want any reader who ever picks up one of my books to be caught off guard by a story element or lack thereof. If you prefer super spicy fantasy romance, I promise those delicious, tingly, toe-curling moments will come... in book two. If you prefer your romance and spice right away, you may be disappointed with ADOBAM, and that's the last thing I want for you to experience when reading my books. So proceed at your own discretion... though I think you might find that you're gonna want to come back for A Dream of Frost and Midnight...

Summer can’t get here soon enough! I’m particularly looking forward to some hot and spicy beach reads.

Praise for Eternally Yours from InD’tale Magazine

Eternally Yours 

Harper A. Brooks and 
Olivia Boothe
Genre: 
Paranormal

A love she never saw coming… Loren Stone should have never gone for that coffee break. When the pediatric nurse stopped to save a devastatingly handsome stranger from what should have been mortal injuries, she ends up being mauled by a larger than imaginable, vicious wolf-like creature. Believing that she would be torn to pieces, Loren wakes to find that her entire life has been stolen in one impulsive act. Her handsome stranger has introduced her to a world of vampires, genetically altered wolves, and deadly assassins.
Nicholas Guerra never should have sired a new vampire. Such things are governed by thousands of years of vampire law. But he couldn’t let another innocent human pay the ultimate price for unknowingly being drawn into his world. Now, as Loren and Nic fight the inevitability of forbidden love, they also have his vengeful family, a secret human organization, and even Loren’s own inner beast to contend with. Fear and anticipation, desire and duty all collide in this skillfully envisioned vampire suspense. Loren and Nic are propelled from one crisis to the next while fighting to contain their irrepressible feelings for one another. The heart-thumping action and palpable sensuality remind the reader that one reads not only with their eyes, but all parts as well. A thrilling and sultry, fully immersive reading experience, this collaboration between Harper A. Brooks and Olivia Boothe is definitely one to curl up with!

Standalone Enemies to Lovers ~ Vampire Romance

From USA Today Bestselling Author Harper A. Brooks & Romance Author Olivia Boothe, comes a new sizzling paranormal romance that will leave you thirsting for more. 

She wasn’t looking for love. He gave her forever… 

After being attacked by a wolf-like creature and left for dead, Loren Stone wakes up in the house of a mysterious and sexy stranger. Something within her has changed. Her veins crave human blood. But it’s another type of hunger she finds herself fighting to control… her unrelenting need for Nicholas Guerra. She should hate the vampire who took everything she loved from her, yet is thrust into a battle against her own burning desire for him. 

After centuries of being groomed to be the next vampire leader, Nicholas turned his back on his family to live among the humans. The last thing he expected was for his immortal life to collide with that of a mortal female. Then he watched Loren get attacked by the beast sent for him. Unwilling to let her die, he’s forced to sire her. However Nicholas never expected to fall in love, and now he aches for the one woman he’s forbidden to have.
