Invicta: Salvation-Book One in the Invicta Series by Piper Kay.....5 Star Review
Kaiden and Holt have been together for 15 years and now it's the grand opening of their new club, Invicta and now they're taking a look back at how they met. When they met, Holt wakes up to a very angry and abusive father and then finds himself homeless and alone in the world. He meets a guy who helps him out and starts to realize that maybe this was for the best. Kade has always avoided the closeness and intimacy and goes from guy to guy in search of what he has always longed for and then he meets Holt and everything changes.
I loved how the story starts out 15 years after the morning they met which takes them on their discovery of love for one another. I adored how much they mean to each other and how much they support one another. Holt has many insecurities which does seep into their relationship. Now it's up to Kade to prove to the man he loves that it's always been him and will only ever be him. It was hard to read how Holt's father treated him in such a hateful and disgusting way but very important to the story. This is a very realistic part of a gay man's life and so great that Piper wrote about something that happens all the time.
Pipers writing is so beautifully done and how she kept the lines from past and present so very clear and concise was very well done. The way the characters complimented each other was just so brilliantly written and you really felt their love for each other. I loved how Kade was the true bad boy but when it came to Holt, he gave himself completely to the man he loves which didn't come easily for Kade. The characters were so much fun to read and their journey and self discovery just made for a beautiful love story. I truly cherished the relationship between these two men and what they meant to each other. In this world it's just the two of them and their love will withstand any outside forces that try to separate them. I highly recommend this beautiful love story to anyone who wants to know the absolute true meaning of what love actually means.

â€What would you like to tell everyone about you that they wouldn't already know from reading your books?â€
I'm a natural blonde
Can you tell us your latest news?
Invicta: Salvation is releasing on July 13 as part of The Naughty Box 2
When did you first consider yourself a writer?
September 2012 when I signed my first publ contract with Evernight Publishing
What inspired you to write your first book?
The characters in my head wouldn't leave me alone. I threatened them, but they wouldn't leave, only threatened back, to explode my brain
Do you have a specific writing style?
Well, I write in first person, from a man's pov, a cocky tone and pretty blunt. I do curse like a sailor. I think I was probably a man in a past life or something
How did you come up with the title?
I came up with Invicta from a late night infomercial
“What do you want your readers to get out of your novels?â€
That love is love, and it doesn't matter your age, gender, race you work for it and fight for what you believe in
“Is the book mostly fantasy or do you think these situations could actually happen?â€
Oh these situations could definitely happen
Now I love music just as much as reading, I normally listen to music while I am reading. Do you think that you characters have theme songs? If so what would they be?
src="https://ytimg.googleusercontent.com/vi/0Up1xIZUAMY/0.jpg">
“Are the experiences fact based or from your imagination?â€
Just my imagination
“Which other authors do you feel have had the most influences on you as both a reader and a writer?â€
Books by Poppet Author
What book are you reading now?
At the moment, I'm not reading anything, but sure am anxious to get my hands on Kindle Alexander's
â€Have there been any authors that interest you by their writing styles or subjects?†Absolutely so, Anne Rice of course, but Indie authors are Poppet Author, Kindle Alexander and Rue Volley
What are your current projects?
The Invicta Series which is a five part series, and on
December 5 of this year, the final story in The Passion Series will be out
Do you see writing as a career?
Yes
If you had to do it all over again, would you change anything in your latest book?
Of course, there is always something you would change, but the pattern and storyline of the book wouldn't change
Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?
Invicta Salvation is a story of Holt and Kade, how they connected and went through their journey for fifteen years. They achieve Invicta, a men's go-go club, which soon becomes more that a club on book two. They didn't want any of their dancers to go through the things they did. The actual place becomes their safe haven and the people become more that just co-worker's. They actually will go through situations and help each other resolve or figure out how to handle them as a family unit &nbs p;
Who are your three favorite authors and what is it that really strikes you about their work? Poppet Author, her passion and her research skills. You can bet if it's in her books, it's been researched thoroughly. Rue Volley-her imagination and the way she can bend the rules. I watched her from the very beginning, her drive and her perseverance and determination. Kindle Alexander-for her sincerity. Her passion is incredible and drives. She is one of the most-tender hearted and caring people that I know.
“Have you done any promotional tours for your books?â€
No never have before
Who designed the covers?
The Invicta Series, all of the covers are being done by a wonderful lady, Karrie Jax. She is a good friend of mine and does an excellent job. For Eight Second Cowboy it was Poppet who did it and the Passion Series and Naughty Box designs it was Rue Volley
What was the hardest part of writing your book?
Deciding what parts to reveal in first book and what to reveal in the other ones
“What did you learn from writing your book?â€
That when you fight hard enough anything is achievable
Do you have any advice for other writers?
To keep writing and not let anyone hold you back. Follow your passion and dreams
Do have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?
To thank them for all the support and love they've shown. To also say thanks to such a tight nit group, the M/M readers and authors are some of the most dedicated and loyal people that I know.
Which comes first for you, the character's story or, the idea for the novel?
For me, the story idea
What advice do you have for someone who would like to become a published writer?
To watch the authors they want to be like and do what they do. Hone your skill and always weigh the options. Read the contract thoroughly and don't be afraid to ask questions, we all had too
Is there anything else that you would like to add?
Just that Invicta Salvation is available now. And Invicta Sanctuary will be released on the 13 July, as part of the Naughty Box 2
I just want to say thank you so much for taking the time to answer these for my readers and I. I look forward to seeing more work from you in the future.
Thank you so much for having me on. You are an awesome chick!

Book Two INVICTA: SANCTUARY will be apart of the naughty box 2 published by HOT INK PRESS on July 13th 2014
Holt owes me for this big time. I have to come out and save his behind from the audience on his first live dance. I might just collect my pay off from that smoking hot ass of his. I start with a body roll, drawing the attention of the crowd back to me. Swishing my hips in circles, I roll them out, then approach him.
Holt pops his out and sways from side to side, his ass rotating in a figure eight motion. Arms over my head, I dance a circle around him, grinding against him the whole way around. Back in front of him, I drop one shoulder, then alternate with hands still in the air. I lean into him.
“Play with me, Holt." I grin, and lick over my bottom lip, giving him a wink. "Play along, I mean. Counter my moves, then own them. Out do me. It's the only time I'll offer this.â€
I lick up the side of his neck, then pull back, staring at him. So smooth, sensual actually. I sway up against him, not keeping beat with the music anymore, but making my own. I glide my hand around his waist, teasing him, and gently pull him into me.
“Thank you, Kade,†he whispers.
“Whatever, dance. Pretend no one else is around. Just do something already, Holt.†I'm afraid if he doesn't move away from me, I might be putting on a live fuck show
What Others are saying About INVICTA
Another great read from Piper By Valerie
Piper Kay did it again!! Wow I totally loved this book.
Piper Kay Is the Master of M/M Romance By Monique
Damn hot!
By Debbie
This book is hot as hell! A must read! Piper really know how to get the blood flowing. I loved Kade. I could see him as Jake Bass.
WOW! GREAT! FANTASTIC! LOVED IT!!
By Sue
Terrific and HOT as only Piper Kay can write characters with depth. I loved the relationship between Kade and Holt. The street smart Kade was made for the unsuspecting country bumpkin Holt. The time they spent in the sheets was insta-wet, hot and then some. Oh, did I mention hot??
Invicta: Sanctuary (Book 2)
Piper Kay
Piper Kay
BLURB: What is your sanctuary? For Mickey, he never needed one, he was his own. Until now. In a situation spinning out of control, Mickey is forced to make a move and he's not sure how to handle it. He's an intelligent, self-reliant man who never depended on anyone for anything, but now he is alone for the first time in his life, scared. By accident, he ends up at Invicta, the hottest new male go-go dance club in town. Owners, Kade and Holt, know the behavior all too well, but Mickey's trust factor is leveling out on zero, until he spots Toryn. Sometimes sanctuary can be found in the strangest of places.
