See You In My Dreams

Book 1 in my new series, Speed, is now available from Samhain Publishing.

Yep, See You In My Dreams, my erotic, contemporary romance – with just a hint of fantasy, released last night, and I am stoked.

I'm also excited because the book already has a couple of lovely reviews:

1) "Like the strings of a guitar well played, Jess Dee weaves her magic in this novella filled to the brim with sensuality and emotion. Recommended for fans of Jess Dee, fans of erotic contemporary romances and fans of utterly drool worthy rock-star heroes who makes your heart sing! Seductive, alluring and mesmerizing; See You In My Dreams is a novel that I loved from start to finish!" (Reviewed by Maldivian Book Reviewer)

2) "Can dreams really come true?  The touching, sexy, sweet way Jess Dee creates this story has me believing they really can. Ms. Dee knows how to pack emotions and hot smexin' in one short story AND making the HEA believable. It's not an easy feat to impress me with a short story, but Ms. Dee did it with this one." (Reviewed by DiDi, Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews)

See You In My Dreams: The Blurb

Every girl's fantasy…one woman's dream.

Speed, Book 1



Sophie Butler is sure she's about to lose her much-needed cleaning job. She's not only walked in on a guest—a violation of her employer's cardinal rule—but she can't seem to tear her gaze away from his gorgeous, naked-as-the-day-he-was-born body.

If all that isn't bad enough, her usually sensible judgment and behavior are clouded by a nagging sense of familiarity. She knows the man from somewhere, she just can't quite place him.

Nathan Pace is certain he's just lost his jealously guarded anonymity. But hold on…if she's just another fan looking for a piece of his alter ego, rock star Jamie Speed, why is she blushing six shades of scarlet? And why is he instantly aroused? When he catches a glimpse of her eyes, he knows. She's the woman who for ten years has haunted his dreams.

The attraction that flares between them is undeniable—and unstoppable. But getting close means risking Nathan's secret identity. Just this once, he'd like a woman to fall for the real man, not the press's version of a celebrity superstar.

Product Warnings: This may be an erotic contemporary romance, but it does contain a hint of fantasy. And when that fantasy involves erotic dreams about a gorgeous rock star, you know you're gonna want the fantasy to become reality…

Another Mari Carr Release

This time, a Samhain book!

SLAM DUNK

Who says you can only score on the court?

A story from the Black & White Collection.

Trey Donovan is mourning the end of summer with fellow teachers when Ellie Hunter walks into Tully's Bar. Better yet, she's now a former rival basketball coach and the newest science teacher at his high school. He can't think of anyone better to fill the vacant assistant coach job. In fact, if he plays his cards right, she might end up his perfect match off the court, too.

If she stops holding him at arm's length long enough to give him a chance.

Coming off a year of bad decisions that not only broke her heart, but cost her a job, Ellie has good reason to swear off workplace romances. Her undeniable—and undeniably mutual—attraction to Trey is a serious threat to her resolve. Especially since Trey's too-easy capitulation to her boundaries stings just a little too much.

Funny thing, though. When she sees Trey dancing with someone else, the edges of her vision turn decidedly green. And when another man tries to kiss Ellie, Trey sees red.

Maybe it wouldn't hurt to fudge the rules. Just a little. After all, casual sex doesn't count. Right?

Product Warnings: Lots of red-hot, half-dressed court presses complete with sex toys, food, bubble baths, strip poker and, oh yeah, balls.  

Slam Dunk is now available at Samhain Publishing – or your favorite ebookstore.

Mari Carr has a new release

Mari has a brand new book out at Ellora's Cave.

And the exciting part? It's the first book in a new series called Cocktales.

It released on the 20th of September, and you haven't read it yet, go, now. Get your copy!

Party Naked

Cocktales, Book One

Stephanie Harper is perfectly happy co-owning Books and Brew, where she slings drinks and entertains her friends with cutting wit and a cynical take on love. She's convinced she has no time for anything deeper than sex; she has a business to run, after all. And her thrice-married mother has proven happy every after doesn't exist.

Jarod Nolan begs to differ. Chance has him running into Steph—and giving her a ticket—one morning, but it's fate that finds him in her place of business that same evening. A sizzling one-night stand ensues, and although Stephanie escapes before he wakes the next morning, Jarod is already sure she's worth the chase.

Steph's more than willing to party naked with the hot cop, but she's adamant they're driven by lust, not love. Jarod is prepared to prove otherwise, even if it means giving up one of the things he and Stephanie do best…

What's that old saying? Abstinence makes the heart grow fonder?

Island Idyll: The series is complete

Today marks the release of the fourth and final book in the Bandicoot Cove series.

Yep, a month after the first two books, Exotic Indulgence and Paradise Found went on sale, Island Idyll finally hits the market. And I am stoked.

I enjoyed writing this book so much, that I wrote the sequel to it as well. Office Affair releases at Samhain next May.

The question is, which character/s from Island Idyll feature in Office Affair? I can't answer that. Not yet anyway. Not until you've read Island Idyll.

And you'll understand why, as soon as you read the blurb.

Island Idyll: The Blurb

Adolescent fantasies can grow into very adult realities.

Bandicoot Cove, Book 4

Sienna James has come to Bandicoot Cove to mourn the end of her eight-year relationship with Ben Cowley. The last person she expects to meet is the star of every one of her high school fantasies.

Joshua Lye is not only as appealing as he was in high school, he reveals she was the main feature in his adolescent wet dreams. As kids they never got it together. But they're adults now, and there's nothing keeping them apart.

When Ben arrives at the resort determined to win Sienna back, finding another man in her bed kind of throws a spanner in the works. But he isn't deterred. Rather than admit defeat, he comes up with an alternative plan: Let Sienna sleep with both men—at the same time. Then she can make an informed decision as to which man she wants.

Sienna shouldn't want to go through with this shockingly sexy plan, but she does. Desperately. Except after the sexual storm passes, she could have it all…or be left holding an empty heart.

Product Warnings: Contains a suggestion beyond risqué, a solution beyond orgasmic, and two men who know how to play dirty. Really, really dirty.

Island Idyll: An Adult Exerpt

Ben carried her to the bed, laid her down on her back and lay beside her. Not once did he release her mouth. He kissed her as though he never wanted to let her go. Kissed with a soul-searing intensity. A chocolate-flavored delight that would have usurped her entire heart, her entire being, if Josh hadn't chosen that moment to remind her of what they'd shared just hours before.

"Enjoy his kiss, princess." Josh knelt between her legs. He was naked. Beautifully naked. He must have stripped when Ben had her full attention. "But don't mistake his mouth for the one that's about to show you fireworks." And with nothing more than that warning, he hooked the backs of her knees over his shoulders, leaned forward and buried his nose between her thighs.

A sigh of untold pleasure burst from her lips.

As Ben kissed her, Josh made love to her pussy, licking, nibbling, adoring—just like Ben did with her mouth.

Bliss, sweet and hot, spread like fire through her cells. The nerves in her pussy danced, delighting in Josh's attention to detail. They spun in dizzying circles, reaching higher, harder, faster for that pinnacle of ecstasy.

When Josh flattened his tongue against her clit and laved her, firmly, seductively, those nerves found their target, triggering an exquisite orgasm.

She groaned into Ben's mouth as waves of rapture undulated through her. He kissed her through each delicious convulsion, and she kissed him back, his chocolaty flavor the perfect accompaniment to the sin of Josh's mouth.

"My turn to taste you, baby," Ben whispered when he finally pulled away, and Josh reluctantly ceded to him.

Island Idyll is available now at Samhain Publishing, Amazon, Barnes and Noble and your favorite ebookstore.

Don't forget about the other three books in the series, including the third book, released two weeks ago: Tropical Sin

Happy reading,

Jess

Currently loving…

Currently loving Adele. (But then who isn't?)

But seriously, have you heard this song? It is brilliant. And her voice?

I have a shiny, new cover…

Isn't it gorgeous?

Yep, this is the cover for Three of a Kind, the print anthology comprising of the novellas Raising the Stakes and Full House.

And once again, I have Scott Carpenter to thank for this gorgeous, sexy cover art, that fits in so beautifully with the series!

THREE OF A KIND: The  Blurb

Know when to hold 'em…

Raising The Stakes

Des could kick himself for introducing his best friend Megan to his poker buddy, Alex. The perfect woman was by his side all this time! Her innocent prodding about why he's suddenly so distant only increases his hunger for her. Then she gets one step too close—and his self-restraint snaps.

Megan had given up waiting for Des to notice she loves him. Now, God help her, she wants both him and Alex. It may sound greedy, but she has a wildly sexy proposition for her two men…and she hopes they agree to play by her rules.

Full House

It took a six-week business trip to make Max realize he's ready to take the next step with his lover. Except when he gets to Trev's place, there's someone living in the spare room. A woman with the face of an angel.

Trev wants more than a standing Friday-night "date" with Max. He also knows he's falling hard for Grace. But Grace is poised to run. While Trev is vibrating with lust for the delicious possibilities, he has his hands full trying to hold the two loves of his life together…before they both slip through his fingers.

Warning: If you're looking for a cool game of poker, you won't find it here. There's sex. Lots of sex. Hot sex, sweaty sex, gay sex, straight sex, ménage sex. Oh, and romantic sex. Lots of romantic sex. Hot romantic sex, sweaty romantic sex…you getting the picture?

Three Of A Kind releases on the 5th of June, next year.

Exotic Indulgence is now available

This is a really exciting day for me.

I love release day at the best of times, but releasing a book with the grand total price of $0.00 is a buzz in the extreme.

And this buzz is made even better by the fact that I'm not releasing the book alone. Lexxie Couper and Vivian Arend are sharing the day with me.

All the hours of work and fun we poured into the Bandicoot Cove Anthology are finally coming to fruition. Today the first two books in the anthology release:

1) Exotic Indulgence: Book 1, the free read By Vivian Arend, Lexxie Couper and myself.

2) Paradise Found, Book 2, by Vivian Arend.

Exotic Indulgence: The blurb

It's time for an indulgence, or two…or three.

Bandicoot Cove, Book 1

There's something magical about Bandicoot Cove. It's where Kylie Sullivan's dream of managing a luxury, five-star resort is about to come true. And it's where people tend to fall in love. Kylie should know. She's fallen hard—for three very different men.

There's Brad, who knows just how to relieve her stress and send her body on a crash course through pleasure. Hemi, her untamed Maori, who awakens her primitive side. And Finn, the sexy bartender whose specialty is Screaming Orgasms.

The three men fulfill all her sexual fantasies, but Kylie knows reality will eventually set in and she'll have to choose. But how? For now she decides not to decide—at least until she makes sure the resort's soft opening comes off without a hitch.

As far as Brad, Hemi and Finn are concerned, Kylie's life is too much work and not enough play. The only choice they plan to give her is to say yes to their wildly passionate proposal…

Product Warnings

Three sexy men pleasing one uninhibited woman—how much more warning do you need? This short story is long on heat, with a drool-worthy setting and sexual interludes in the office, at the beach and the bar. You want a day job like this.

You can download your copy of Exotic Indulgence at Samhain Publishing, Amazon/Kindle or Barnes & Noble/Nook

And don't forget, the next two books release soon, but are available for pre-order now!

Tropical Sin, Book 3, by Lexxie Couper, releases on the 6th of Sep
