Excerpt:
In the pale orange light of the sun, just barely burning over the horizon, his lightly bronzed skin shone. His hair was a golden brown, and though he wasn’t looking her way, she remembered that his eyes were golden amber. She’d looked into them one time, the one time that he’d held her, saved her. He’d looked at her when he’d slid her off his back, and she’d never, ever forget those eyes. The light flattered him. He looked golden, gorgeous and golden, that’s how she’d describe him.
She should go over. Thank him for the other day. Dreadful shyness took her, and she could not will her body to move. She knew if she did manage to walk over, and by some remote chance attempt to thank him, she’d freeze up. She just knew it. Social graces were not high on her list. People often thought she was stuck-up, not knowing that her silence was shyness.
If she didn’t move now, she might lose her chance. Yet despite her great need to say something to get his attention, she was riveted to the spot. Just staring. He didn’t give any sign he noticed her, and it occurred to Ella that he didn’t like her. He’d felt compelled to save her, but he’d rather not have anything to do with her.
Emily Jane Trent writes steamy romances about characters you’ll get to know and love. The sex scenes are hot, and the romance even hotter! If you are a fan of stories with a heroine that’s got spunk and a hunk of a hero that you’d like to take home with you, these stories are what you’re looking for. The stories will let you escape into a fantasy – and you won’t want it to end - ever.

Interview
There’s no way to choose just one. I’d love to have my favorites in one place where I could get to know them, including J. Kenner, HM Ward, Jasinda Wilder, Sylvia Day, E.L. James, and the list goes on.
What authors have inspired your work?
All amazing books inspire me. I think it’s an ongoing process. Fiction is a thrill because there are no limits to what can be created.
What is Captivated about?
Captivated is a touching story about Ella Walker meeting the man of her dreams in an unexpected way. There’s every reason why it shouldn’t work out between them. But the best reason why it should. They love each other. Yes, it’s love at first sight.
What genre is Captivated?
New Adult Romance
What kind of readers will Captivated appeal to?
The romance will appeal to all readers like their stories steamy. There’s lots of story in this novel, but the sex scenes that are included are hot.
Is Captivated part of a series, and if so, how many books will there be?
Captivated is Book One of Adam & Ella. There will be three novels: Captivated, Charmed, and Cherished.
How is the Adam & Ella series, starting with Captivated, different than your novella series Touched By You, starting with Dark Desire?
Writing novellas is different because they are shorter. Touched By You was inspired by 50 Shades of Grey, and you’ll see that, although it is a unique story on its own.
Captivated is different. I don’t know of another story exactly like it. The story was inspired by the characters themselves. In other words, the romance that evolves was organic because of the characters I chose.
Were you nervous about releasing Captivated?
A little, because my readers had just finished the Touched By You series and there are a lot more sex scenes. Plus Tanner Clarke,the hero, is the classic alpha male, jealous and possessive and dominant.
Adam Bianci in Captivated is strong and virile, yet sensitive and not jealous or possessive. As the hero of the story, he is easy to fall in love with. But I wondered if my readers would miss the jealous, possessive, more aggressive type.
So far, the book has been well-received. My readers say they love the character and the story is touching, loving…..and hot.
What do you have planned next?
I’ll publish the next two Adam & Ella books. Then I’ll start a new series. I already have something in mind – something brand new.
Ebook, paperback, or hardcover – which do you prefer?
The smell and feel of books makes me feel so good. I go to a local library all the time, just for that book atmosphere. If I like a book a lot, I want the paperback. But I read a ton of ebooks because they are so accessible. Only so many paperbacks I can carry around.
