Guest Post and Giveaway: Summoned (Summoned #1) by Rainy Kaye

Published: March 28th, 2014

Description:

Twenty-three year old Dimitri has to do what he is told—literally. Controlled by a paranormal bond, he is forced to use his wits to fulfill unlimited deadly wishes made by multimillionaire Karl Walker.

Dimitri has no idea how his family line became trapped in the genie bond. He just knows resisting has never ended well. When he meets Syd—assertive, sexy, intelligent Syd—he becomes determined to make her his own. Except Karl has ensured Dimitri can't tell anyone about the bond, and Syd isn't the type to tolerate secrets.

Then Karl starts sending him away on back-to-back wishes. Unable to balance love and lies, Dimitri sets out to uncover Karl's ultimate plan and put it to an end. But doing so forces him to confront the one wish he never saw coming—the wish that will destroy him.

Summoned is represented by Rossano Trentin of TZLA.

GUEST POST
Dimitrie Vs. Silvia

Dimitri is the protagonist in SUMMONED. A killer genie, to be specific. 

While the leading lady is the smart, sexy, and totally bonkers Syd, there’s another woman in Dim’s life—unfortunately. 

Silvia Walker is the only offspring of Karl, Dimitri’s master. One day, Silvia will inherit control over Dimitri…and she can’t wait.

Dim is slightly less enthusiastic about the arrangement.

Silvia gets quite a bit of word count, so here’s a compare-and-contrast of Dimitri and his master-in-waiting.

Differences
As a teenager, Dimitri was put into his place as being little more than a servant. Silvia, on the other hand, knows she will eventually own him. Few things can end a childhood friendship quite as abruptly. From there, they further fell apart as Dimitri was put out into the world, but Silvia was kept sheltered. As they grew older, their realities veered into two distinct directions, but continue to collide as they’re slowly forced into their roles as master and genie.

Similarities
Dimitri likes to think of himself as smarter and better than Silvia, but they have more in common than he would like to admit. They both have no control over their present or future. They also both rely heavily on Karl for money and guidance. Mainly, though, they’re both at cross-roads, trying to understand how their bizarre lives fit with the rest of society, their hopes, and each other.

All of that pales, however, when it comes
