Just friends…just married! 

What Zoe thinks…Loving your best friend is never easy – and when he’s sexy and turned you down flat once before…it’s even harder! Loving Grant is what Zoe has always done best…but now it’s time to move on. She already feels like she’s the oldest virgin in America – so she vows to find herself a man!

What Grant thinks…Grant can’t keep his eyes or his hands off Zoe – but she’s his best friend – a no-go zone! The fact that Zoe looks at him like she wants to rip his clothes off isn’t helping the situation… So he implements some important rules for them to obey. First is the No Kissing rule – well, that’s broken before it’s had a chance to be written… Then the Strictly No Sex rule…and that’s out of the window (well, on the kitchen table, actually!).

Then the best rule of all: some rules are only made to be broken!

Humpday Hottie!

The countdown begins!

Silver Bellaby Lucy MonroeCowboy Contemporary Romance NovellaElectronic Re-Release of novella originally published in print only in the Merry Christmas, Baby AnthologySamhain Publishing - December 2012ISBN TBD
I know we are just a day away from Halloween, but I'm so excited to share Silver Bella with you, I couldn't wait to begin the month long countdown to its December release!  
Cover model for Lexi Creations, Bella Jackson may look steamy on the cat walk, but under the covers, she's a total novice. What she needs is someone who can make her feel the way she looks, especially after the tell-all her smarmy ex sold to the tabloids. When sexy Texas oilman Jake Barton starts attending her trunk shows, she reacts like a cat in heat and that has never happened before. Hence the very disgruntled ex. Jake wants Bella and he means to have her, but once he realizes it's more than a roll in the hay he's craving, can he convince her to take a chance on Texas...and him?
With so many holidays just around the corner, what are you most excited for?

Holiday Reads - Week 1

As we eagerly await the December 4th eBook only release of Silver Bella (I certainly hope you're all as eager for this book's release as I am ::smiles::), I'll be posting weekly blogs with some recommended holiday reading.  Because I love a good Christmas story...or New Years story...or Thanksgiving story...or Valentine story for that matter.
Buy the BookPretty much any holiday story has that extra bit of sentiment that makes it special for me. :)
Personally, I love writing Christmas themed stories.   Silver Bella was one of my earliest and released in print in a six author anthology that sold very well, but went out of print within a year.  So, I'm VERY happy it's going to be released as a stand alone eBook by Samhain.


Another delicious stand alone Christmas story, is the award winning Jami Davenport's Love at First Snow  - a novella packed with holiday sentiment and heart warming romance.
Four years ago, NHL defenseman Blake Daniels lost his entire family in a floatplane crash. This Christmas a snowstorm and a small gray kitten will lead him to life, love and a whole new shot at happiness.

Buy the BookSome of  my favorite holiday reads are the anthologies.

I discovered Linda Howard reading a Mother's Day anthology many moons ago.  I've had so many hours of reading and re-reading pleasure with her since, that anthology will forever be one of my favorite books. :)  Harlequin has re-released her story along with two others in the A Mother's Touch anthology.
Another wonderful anthology, this one Christmas themed, is Holiday Magic: The Gift of Love by Laurie Ryan and Lavada Dee.
It's your turn.  What is your favorite holiday themed story or anthology?  What authors have you found picking up a holiday story you wouldn't have read otherwise?

Goodness Had Nothing to do With It
by Lucy Monroe
(Connected to Come Up and See Me Sometime)
Kensington Zebra - December 2005
ISBN 0-8217-7771-8


If you loved Lucy Monroe’s COME UP AND SEE ME SOMETIME, you won’t want to miss her latest romance! Funny, sexy, and full of heart, Monroe’s new novel makes “goodness” a whole lot better…


SURPRISE, SURPRISE

The last woman business consultant Marcus Danvers expects to find at Kline Electronics is Veronica Richards. He’s supposed to be rooting out a corporate spy, not rehashing an old love affair—with the woman who sold out the company they both used to work for and then took off without so much as a kiss goodbye. All the clues point to Ronnie as the firm’s newest mole, which means he’ll have to spend time with the stubbornly reticent—and mouthwateringly sexy—woman he hasn’t been able to forget, and uncover every last thing she has to hide…

FANCY SEEING YOU HERE

It’s just Ronnie’s luck. The one man she’d hoped never to see again is suddenly everywhere she looks—and taking up a starring role in her daydreams, too. Remembering the passion she and Marcus once shared certainly isn’t going to help, though, not when she has so many secrets, and no explanation for the way she left him eighteen months ago—or at least not one he’ll want to hear. The problem is, when Marcus is around all her good intentions go up in smoke…

Goodness Had Nothing to Do With It has a connection to this year's Reader Online Retreat, which ORR author was this book dedicated to?

Humpday Hottie

While I'm enjoying the new American adaptation of Sherlock Holmes Elementary very much, I am missing my favorite Benedict Cumberbatch in the BBC series Sherlock.


For your viewing pleasure:

For mine:

Next fall cannot come quickly enough in this regard, but I'm not sure I like the sound of the Steven Moffat's 3 word Tweet teaser.  Rat. Wedding. Bow.  Will Season 3 be the last one?
