Book Description:

Tamar Steele’s life was never supposed to be like this. A sensitive working with a team of paranormal investigators, she is trapped in a loveless relationship with the team’s medium, Reed James, who believes that having sex on haunted ground enhances paranormal activity. Tamar maintains their partnership for the sake of the crew, forcing herself to ignore the burgeoning sexual tension between her and fellow investigator Jason Bray.

Until one night when, alone and bored, Tamar sings to herself and is knocked to the ground by an invisible force. Somehow she is able to invoke spirits with the power of her voice. And one particular sexy, matchmaking spirit is determined to turn her life upside down.

Introducing Tamar

When I’m writing a full-length novel, I do a lot of work on character background. For a short, less so. I Heard Your Voice is a novella, so I ended up with quite a lot of character and very little that I could fit into the story.

So what better thing to do than profile my heroine Tamar Steele?

Tamar is a paranormal investigator who has been with her team since they all met at university. She’s the group’s webmaster and also one of their sensitives, who assist the medium by using their own ability to sense spirits.

Although the team is struggling financially, Tamar is fiercely independent. She has her own flat and her own car – relying on others for lifts has left her stranded in the past. Her family is supportive, but as one of sixteen children (yes, sixteen – her parents were an active and fertile couple) she’s used to putting others ahead of herself for the greater good.

And, like many women, she’s susceptible to the charms of a charismatic man, which leads her to the situation in which we find her at the start of the story – stuck in a loveless relationship with arrogant medium Reed James, whose primary interest in her is her part in his pre-investigation ritual: sex on haunted ground.

I’m hoping to write sequels to I Heard Your Voice, introduce a few siblings (one sister is an aromatherapist – I’m sure I could work that in somewhere) and develop Tamar’s desire to make the team into true paranormal investigators, visiting new haunted locations without having to play to the paying guests. So if things go well, all this character work will come in useful after all…

The Review:

This book had a unique flavor to it. You have a paranormal element to it that really brings you into the story like crazy. I was hooked the second I picked it up and kept reading until it was (sadly) over. The ghostly medium antics were fun and I loved hating Reed. Tamar was a very real character that I look forward to seeing in more books coming up. 

The sex scenes were twofold. You had the "service me" mode for Reed that was just plain horrid and then you had the panty melting scenes with Jason and his ghostly brother. Oh man. Hotness.

Don't miss this unique erotic foray into the world of ghost hunting and what it really takes to get ghosts to respond to you, hook line and sinker.

4.5/5

Dom With A Safe Word: Sexy Smartass Fun With BDSM

Sexy smartass fun with BDSM

The Dom with a Safeword is out early. This is a contemporary Mff romance. Though there is a ghost element to this story it’s pretty firmly set in reality, in New Jersey. I co-authored this one with 2 other authors.

I wrote the Dom, Jude. Leia Shaw wrote the innocent submissive, Sabrina, who is new to both BDSM and girl on girl. And Sorcha Black wrote the bisexual switch Q, who hates her real name and rarely tells it.

Here’s what the book’s about:

Late at night, on an amateur ghost hunt, Sabrina and her best friend Q are caught trespassing by the gorgeous, blonde Jude. The embers of attraction between them sizzle when they discover Jude’s kinks match their own. Jude is a Dom on his last summer of freedom before starting the prison sentence that is med school. Q is a badass bi switch who knows what she wants, and for years it’s been her cute, doe-eyed straight friend Sabrina. But the only way for Q into Sabrina’s heart and panties may be with Jude’s fist wrapped in her hair.

Domming the bratty Q and mischievous Sabrina isn’t going to be easy but Jude relishes the challenge. At the end of the summer, will they find a way to stay together when everything is tearing them apart?

So as you can see, we have, not one, but two brats in this story. Here’s  Jude:

“So… what methods have failed to teach you manners?”

She was relieved by the change in subject, but had no plans to give him ammunition. “Hmmm. Most. Brats are notoriously hard to teach.” Q took a sip of her coffee, but watched him closely. Time to see if this one was up to the challenge or if he’d bolt.

Jude’s face lit up. “I have a soft spot for brats. So you’re a brat switch?”

“Yes,” she said, surprised. “A brat switch. A veritable social pariah in the fet world. You don’t have a hate-on for girls like me?”

“Not a hate-on, no.” He winked and Q got caught in the wave of a full on, hot-faced blush.

There was an awkward silence as she floundered for something to say that wasn’t tie me up and make me your bitch. He smirked and waited, like toying with her was amusing. It made her submissive side go straight into overdrive.

She dropped her gaze and waited.

“Have you had a Dom?”

This story’s characters are based loosely on people we know and their relationships. One of the things we wanted to do with this book was to make sure there was a hearty dose of humor and fun woven in. Because really, who doesn’t see some fun in the world at some time? Sex should be enjoyable, and hell, BDSM too, however you get your kicks. A lot of Doms in fiction seem to have lost their funny bone somewhere down the back of the couch. Hence Jude was born. The man knows how to have fun and how to, mostly, keep up with two of the brattiest brats around. And if he misses the punishment mark sometimes, he makes them pay for it later, if he remembers. He’s fair yet not infallible.

The story isn’t at all slapstick and silly though, and there’s a lot of sadness toward the end. We hope it makes for a great balance. I’ll leave you with a quote from a beta reader, and then an excerpt.

"I ended up feeling part of the story, personally invested in the different characters. I can't even say how much I loved the book it is funny, heart-warming and intense all at the same time. The sex/play scenes are out of this world good."

Excerpt:

“Fuck,” he said, awestruck. “Holy hell.” He bit her neck, once, twice, sinking his teeth in and not releasing her for a few seconds, though she whimpered. Then he pulled out and unglued his fingers from her hips.

The view down below, as he withdrew, made him admire Sabrina’s curves.

“Your ass would sink a thousand ships, girl.” The quiet giggle from Q and shake of Sabrina’s shoulders made him rethink. “And launch them too.”

After he’d released the rope from the wrist cuffs, they were still giggling.

“You’re both on probation.” The burst of more giggling just left him shaking his head. He swept Sabrina into his arms.

Coyly, she shook out her hair and hung onto his shoulders. “Where are you taking me, fair prince, to the shower?”

“No.” He hefted her higher, and paced toward the couch. “Over here. You haven’t forgotten your promise?”

“Umm. No. But I’m all sweaty and icky though. We both are. We want a shower, don’t we, Q?”

“Uh-uh. No shower. Not yet. I like you all sweaty. You’re tastier.” He paused to kiss her deeply, before setting her down at the front of the couch. A blanket he’d put next to the couch went over it. When he pointed to the floor, Q followed suit and kneeled next to Sabrina. “I want to see what my pet can do to my switch.”

Q eyed him a little suspiciously.

What’s your opinion of BDSM in romance fiction? Do you like some humor or would you rather the tone of these stories be darker? I know with some of the darker themes humor would not work as well unless you wrote it in very carefully. But in our story it fitted the people so well. Without it Jude wouldn’t have had half as much fun!
