Wired In Sin Tour and Giveaway


Blurb:
Victoria is a business owner, a friend and a succubus, the latter being something she despises with her whole heart. As she works to free others like her from the daily need to feed from sexual partners, she stumbles across her mate. Now she’s fighting destiny and the call of his lust, refusing to sate her need on the one male made for her.
Dominick is a technowizard used to living his life his way. When he arrives at a business meeting and senses his mate, he’s intrigued. When she slams walls up around herself and refuses to even look at him, he goes on the prowl. He uses her sex phone business to get her attention, but can he keep her on the line long enough to capture her heart?

Excerpt #2
When she’d finally fallen asleep the night before she’d dreamed of him, of his energy, of his lust. Dreams rarely woke her, but she’d come awake moaning from an orgasm, coated in sweat and still shaking from the release. She didn’t like admitting it, but she craved him and silently agreed with her inner thoughts that perhaps he was someone she wanted to actually get to know.
Reading the note again didn’t help her to decide what she thought of the gift. Nick had obviously had it planned and had worked hard to get it to her without anyone seeing him or who had delivered it to the building.
Victoria, Please accept this token of my appreciation and affection. I hope you find it as beautiful and unique as I find you. All I ask is that you don’t open it until Thursday evening before our next session. Yours lovingly, Nick
She sighed. If she’d been human still she’d have been terrified that the man was stalking her. In the supernatural world, though, stalkers were rare. Beings who lived thousands of years were strange, bestowing gifts and favors on others with no real comprehension of how it looked to a former human. She couldn’t assume that the male who had sent the gift was doing anything other than simply sending her a present. It wasn’t her first and surely wouldn’t be her last. Many of her clients sent tokens of their affection or thanks. The men she took as patrons were rich, some beyond even her comprehension. Money to the supernatural community was a necessity, but more often than not a joke. When you lived for centuries there was no limit to the income you could make.



Review:

This book was a hot read. I have always appreciated a good succubus story and although this one was a slow starter with a bit of back story to work through, I enjoyed it very much. The dreamscape scenes between Victoria and Dominick were hot. It gives new meaning to the suggestion that the mind is the most erotic organ we have. So true, and in this case really true! Victoria takes phone sex and brings it to a level that most guys can only dream about. She infiltrates their mind and lets them actually feel her. At least, they think she does. Her clients are supernatural and they know the stakes. But does she? When Dominick tracks her down and sets up an appointment, a whole lot is on the line. Will Victoria be able to handle the heat or will she run? I won't tell. Just enough to say that this hot number is a great evening read and one you won't want to miss!

Pierced by Love Series Tour and Giveaway



First, I'd like to thank  Erzabet for inviting me to guest post today; I'm excited to be here! I was asked the question: Does suspense add any unique elements to an already hot romance? Well, my response is a resounding YES!

The dictionary defines suspense as: a quality in a work of fiction that arouses excited expectation or uncertainty about what may happen. That sounds about right, I suppose.

I think suspense is a wonderful tool for writers to employ when constructing a great romance, mainly for two big reasons. For starters, suspense can help drive a plot line forward in really fun and exciting ways. I mean, there's nothing like dangling your heroine from a rope, outside a 50 story building, or even over a cliff on top of a mountain, and watching (or reading) with baited breath as your hero tries desperately to figure out how to save her! Or having your hero throw himself in front of a speeding bullet in order to keep her safe, and then wondering with every frantic turn of the page whether or not his ultimate act of bravery and love will end up being the death of him! That's the kind of stuff that makes your blood pump and your heart pound. The thing that makes you unable to put a book down.

The second, and arguably more important, thing that suspense does for an already hot romance is that it throws your hero and heroine into some really interesting, often compromising and steamy positions together. It has a way of pushing them into a few juicy moments of forced intimacy where all of their defenses are lowered, their hearts are already racing, and their emotions are running high. Breathing is shallowed, senses are heightened, inhibitions are all but non-existent. Perfect time for sparks (and sometimes clothing) to fly! Like, for instance, when Detective Joshua Pierce takes it upon himself to escort lovely and terrified assault victim Samantha Colby home from a dark and deserted parking lot one night.

Suspense is that thing that makes us feel “on edge.” It builds and builds until we just don't think that we can take it anymore, and then it explodes into technicolor, making us want more and more and more. Sort of like a really hot love scene. Yes, nail-biting, page-turning suspense can add a lot of heat to an already super-hot romance!




Blurb:
Terrorized by the man who is now stalking her, Samantha Colby begins to lean on Detective Joshua Pierce, certain that he would never allow any harm to come to her. And as the couple grow closer, both find it difficult to stop their hearts from falling as Samantha learns more about Joshua's troubled past and the fear he struggles with everyday.

Joshua never figured on falling in love. He's not even sure he knows what those words mean. What he does know is that he feels things for Samantha that he's never felt before, and it scares him. But as her stalker closes in, Joshua discovers that he must begin to trust himself if he wants to keep Samantha in his life. Can he learn this lesson in time to save her?

Key Party Blog Tour and Giveaway


Title: Key Party
Series: Mischievous Matchmaker Book 1
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Flame rating: Scorching

Released: 6/5/2013

Publisher: Ellora’s Cave

Blurb:
After five years of living abroad, Rachel has returned to Chicago. As a welcome-home present, one of her best friends throws a ‘70s-style key party. A night of mingling and anonymous sex with one of Petra’s hunky friends seems perfect.
Petra knows about the crush Rachel had on Ben in college, and she rigs the game so Rachel ends up with the very fine young doctor. But Petra doesn’t know the whole story. Rachel never told her friend about the scorching-hot make-out session that is now Rachel’s go-to sexual fantasy.
And neither of them could know Ben is more than looking forward to showing Rachel every carnal moment she missed when she left without finishing what they’d started that night.

Buy Link:

The door closed with a click behind them and suddenly she was in his arms, her hands pressed over the fine silk of his vest and her body touching his from chest to knee. He held her tight to him, one arm around her waist and the other buried in her hair, angling her head so he could take her mouth in a long, deep kiss.
Her knees buckled when his tongue dove into her mouth. Pure, electric charges crackled and snapped through every one of her nerve endings as he groaned deeply and pulled her even closer. Her hands slid slowly over his chest and shoulders until they were buried in his thick black hair.
“Christ, Rachel,” he whispered, pressing his forehead to hers. “Seeing you naked the other night took my breath away, but you in a suit is… pornographic.”
She shivered despite the temperature rising in her body. “Ben.”
“I know.” He lifted his head. His eyes were dark, pupils dilated wide. “It’s completely inappropriate to drag you off and molest you when I should be sitting in on the next interview, but I couldn’t help myself.”
“Yes, inappropriate is a good word,” she agreed, finding it thrilling when he pulled back slightly to look her over top to toe again anyway.
She loved the way he made her feel delicate when he held her in his arms.
And she loved the way he was looking at her at that moment.

Bio:
When Jayne Kingston was growing up she spent many hours daydreaming about a time when she could flee the too-small town in Ohio where she grew up and run laughing for the sunny West Coast. Of course she stuck around and raised her family in that small town instead, and doesn’t regret it for a moment. Now she spends her days dreaming about the delicious fun two people can have while falling in love.

Maggie's Desire Virtual Book Tour



Title: Maggie’s Desire
Series: Welcome to Paradise: Book 2
Genre: Contemporary FMF Menage
Flame rating: Scorching

Released: 5/4/2013
Publisher: Silver Publishing
Word count: 25K

Who would have thought a plan to get the attention of one man, would have Maggie Blake taking two men to her bed?

Maggie Blake has one desire, to experience what the way-too-sexy Brian O'Malley has to offer in bed. Too bad, he thinks of her as an annoyance and not as the hot willing woman she is.

Brian has one rule in life. Never let a woman too close, but club Paradise's sassy little bartender threatens to change that rule and wiggle her hot little ass into his damaged heart.

Purchase Link:




Sometimes working in a sex club sucks monkey ass.
Maggie Black leaned on the bar and sighed. "For a tax attorney, the man can move."
"Hey, can I get a Jack and Coke."
Maggie pulled her attention from the sight of Brian O'Malley's magnificent body moving sensually over the woman on her hands and knees center stage. Bitch.
She'd been watching Brian fuck women in Club Paradise for years. Every time his talents got harder to ignore.
A glass rattled by her ear. "Oh, Maggie."
The man's annoyed tone ran like razor wire over her nerves.
She swatted at his arm. "Yeah, keep your pants on."
The man cupped himself and winked. "I'm not wearing pants."
It was a damn shame he wasn't wearing at least a G-string. His pinky-sized dick flopped around like a dead fish. She bit her bottom lip to keep from laughing or vomiting, Maggie wasn't sure which. She poured pinky dick his drink. "Oh, you're not? I didn't notice," she said, handing him his Jack and Coke.
He slapped a ten on the bar and grinned. "Always good talking to you, Maggie."
Maggie saluted, checked her watch, and yawned. God, she wished she were still in bed. Her plans for Saturday included sleeping in before she had to pick up her friend, Nick, from the airport. They sure as hell didn't include a seven am call from her morning bartender. The woman quit because she couldn't find a babysitter.
It was days like this being Club Paradise's manager stunk big time. She stretched to work out the kinks in her back. Working until the wee hours last night and having to cover the lunch shift didn't leave time for the hot bath she longed for.
Maggie tugged on her tank top, turned, and looked at the writhing bodies twenty feet in front of her. Brian's crystal blue eyes latched onto her, holding her in place. Sweat glistened like diamonds on his skin, highlighting every muscular dip and valley. His perfectly cut hair dripped from his efforts. Her figures itched to run through the midnight-colored strands.
For a moment she wondered what it would be like if she was the one he crooked his finger at and led up onto the stage. Maggie groaned and shifted. She wanted Brian's hard body over hers, inside her. The desire to have his thick, hard cock probing the delicate fold of her pussy while he held her against his solid chest had a shiver running up Maggie's spine.
Lust flashed white-hot inside her core. She watched Brian ram his hips against the woman's ass. Maggie could hear the woman's cries of ecstasy over the cheers of the crowd. Jealousy burned in her gut. She closed her eyes to block out the intoxicating sight.



Ava’s Pleasure
Welcome to Paradise 1
Blurb:
When prim proper Ava stumbles into a Miami sex club, she isn't expecting to find the man from her dreams. Navy SEAL Logan is just wasting time between missions until this naïve and innocent woman turns his world upside down.
Of all the sex clubs, she had to walk into his. How was Ava Cullen supposed to know her prim and proper aunt was part owner of the premier sex club in Miami and a top-notch Dominatrix? When she stumbled into club Paradise and came face to face with her dream man, she had a feeling she stood on the precipice of something life changing.
Navy SEAL Logan Turner always knew he needed more out of life than the next mission. That's why he opened Paradise with his best friend Julie. It didn't hurt that he could reap the benefits of owning a sex club. That was until a sexy, doe-eyed woman walked in, making his control slip for the first time ever.

Interview:

What’s the strangest (neatest, coolest, etc) thing you’ve ever done?
These questions are not easy. Let me think.
I was a doula and a Hospices nurse at the same time. So on any given day, I would help a life into this world and I would hold a hand while a life left this world.
I spent a summer hiking in the White Mountains and working on trails.
One time, when I was snorkeling in Florida, a Manatee decided it wanted to be my friend and it swam next to me for over an hour. That was pretty cool.
 I have also done stunt airplane flying with my Grandfather and have skydived with my sister.

What is one place in the world you’d love to visit which you haven’t already been? Ever since I read Nora Roberts Irish Jewels trilogy I’ve wanted to go to Ireland.

Do you listen to music when you write? If so, what type(s) do you lean towards? No I don’t. I’ve tried, but I find myself singing instead of writing.

 Who are some of your favorite authors? I love so many. I can’t list them all.

What book are you currently reading? Whiskey Beach By Nora Roberts and Be with me by Maya Banks

In your opinion, what makes a great hero? That is a great question. I think a great hero has some flaws and is willing to do what it takes to get his girl.

Thanks so much for being on the blog today!
