RT - Give the Gift of Time

Do some of her/his chores like washing the dishes, paying the bills, cutting the lawn.

This will give your lover some time to do something else that they might enjoy like reading, watching their favorite show, spending time playing a video game.

If you can't or won't try this alone, you can always just offer some help and double-up to get a chore done.

Have fun,

Tina

Blurb for "Mating Rituals"

With rock-hard fortitude, Marohka Taunton battles to maintain her position as top mineralogist and refuses to see why she should marry even if the law requires she take a mate. Fighting her attraction for Stihl Fermesium, she struggles to save her father's company.

Stihl, determined to win her as his mate, is faced with the commission deal of a lifetime and needs the money to save his family land. He wrestles with her emotional resistance and discovers someone other than Marohka is unhappy about their union. In fact, they want to separate them in the most basic of ways, death.

Good luck,

Texas Passion
by: Anita Philmar

Blurb -
After a long cattle drive to Abilene, Trent McCall just wants to unwind. But in his absence, his father's been making wedding plans...for Trent. The last thing he needs is a spoiled and pampered socialite for a wife. What he needs is a hard drink and a willing woman. An uncomplicated woman who understands a man's need for release after a hard ride. Good thing he's got one waiting for him.

Four years back East haven't changed Catherine Turnberry's mind. Her heart is set on neighboring rancher, Trent McCall. When an end-of-the-trail party threatens to put him in the arms of another woman, Catherine grabs the bull by the horns. Taking the place of the whore hired to pleasure Trent, she intends to give him a welcome he'll never forget and show him what Texas passion is all about.

Excerpt:
"Well, now, did you think I'd ever arrive?" He shut the door and tossed his hat onto the table by the door. Dark curly hair circled his head, and his dark brown eyes met hers.

"I had no doubt you'd get here eventually." Her hands shaking, Catherine laid her book on the rocker and tried for a more seductive tone. "But I'd like to know what delayed you."

One corner of his mouth turned up in a crooked grin, he stepped forward, and then paused. "Wait a second, don't I know you?"

Catherine nodded and toyed with the knot holding her robe together. Should she shed her robe and try to seduce him first? Or just tell him her name?

He tilted his head slightly, and a frown formed on his lips. The subdued lighting of the lantern didn't mask the lines marring his brow.

Apprehension slithered over her skin, and a lump the size of Texas grew in her throat. "I…uh…"

"Catherine?"

More of an accusation than a question, her name echoed in her head. "Yes, I…" She edged closer.

He shuffled backward until his back hit the door. "What the hell are you doing here?" His gaze dropped to swell of her breasts, and the cattywhumped expression on his face registered. Clarity filled her head. The man might deny it, but the heat in his eyes proved he found her appealing. Energy pulsed through her, and she untied the knot at her waist. "I decided, since we're practically engaged, I didn't want you sleeping with another woman."

"Whoa, don't even think about removing that robe." He held out his hands to stop her, but his tongue slid over his parched lips and the blaze in his eyes sparked higher. Catherine's confidence grew, and the doubt that had plagued her for the last few hours faded. He might resist, but she'd show him this was what they both wanted.

How Egg-cerpt Exchange Works

Two authors agree to exchange information about their books. Each post the information on their blogsite with picture of the book, blurb, excerpt, links to other author's site and buy links to the book.
Arrange the dates ahead of time and exchange information via email.
I then put it on my blogspot site which is then feed into Facebook and Google +. In exchange you do the same for me by putting my information on your blog sites. It's a great way to promote your book.
The one thing to remember is these are general access sites so the excerpts have to be less graphic.
Contact me today to reserve your date  -- tina9561(at)yahoo.com

( I only post one book a day and I have a list on my blogsite of the authors participating with a link to their site.)
