SLAMMED is out today!
Yay, we finally get Dylan's story!
We first met Dylan Schell in With Strings Attached, when he became the third in a sexy menage a trois with his best friend Matt, and Matt's friend with benefits, Corey. Dylan got kind of attached to Corey, but he was also struggling with some major issues in his pro surfing career. Since then, Dylan's been coping by doing a lot of partying - sex, drugs, rock and roll. Now, in Slammed, he's back in San Amaro, for a huge event in the Association of Surfing Professionals tour -- but he also has to take some business issues seriously, and he has to attend a wedding, and he's not too happy about all this responsible stuff. But Brooke helps him deal...
Great reviews so far for Slammed! I'm so thrilled.
Romance Junkies 4.5 BLUE RIBBONS "Get out your fans or put on the air conditioner and grab an ice cold drink since you'll be burning up as you read SLAMMED - a sweet but heat filled contemporary romance involving a professional surfer, the waves, the beaches, romance and love."
RT Book Reviews 4 STARS "Sparks fly right off the bat with PR wonk Brooke and pro surfer Dylan, and the will-they/won’t-they once they return to real life will keep readers guessing. . .This romance will have you dreaming of hot surfers and warm beaches as the weather cools."
And I really want to mention this review from the Risque Redhead Reads... I love the review overall, she really "got" the book. But a couple of things stand out for me.
"Brooke, let me tell you I loved being in this girl’s head and learning the cute and funny words she uses. She was a blast to read, there was not one thing I disliked about her. She was someone I could relate to from the first moment I met her. She was, for lack of a better description, a normal girl. Her family support is beautiful, her compassion for others is remarkable and her ability to love enormous. She is the perfect match in every way for Dylan and their chemistry is off the charts smokin’!"
One of my goals as a writer has been to write heroines that readers love. That hasn't always been the case, and I've been working on that for some time. I KNOW readers are harder on heroines than they are on heroes. But that's just a challenge to me, to write heroines who readers love. So a comment like that means SO much to me.
Also this:
"A side note if you will. Substance with sex. I have said this many times when it comes to books. I need a substance with my sex and with this series it is what you get. Now, I am a red blooded female and I love reading a good sex scene but with that you have to have a story or you lose me. There was never a point of getting lost here. There is no gratuitous sex that is thrown in there just to have a sex scene. Sex is important for relationships, for romantic relationships, it’s intimate, it is how we connect on the most basic level and sometimes it’s how relationships begin. With Dylan and Brooke, as well as the rest of the residents in San Amaro, it was as natural as the ocean creating a current or a wave."
This is something else that's important to me. I've had lots of feedback about my sex scenes -- I apparently do them pretty well. :-). But it's important to me to have story, character, emotion, and to make the sex scenes meaningful...so this comment also means a lot to me.
I hope you love Dylan and Brooke too!

Save the date!
If you're in the Nashville area, I'm going to be there in October with fellow authors Erin Nicholas and PG Forte. We'd love to get together with any readers who can join us on Saturday October 19. (And hey - that's the day after my birthday, so you all can buy me birthday drinks! :-) ) We're thinking about meeting at the Cheesecake Factory, but stay tuned for confirmed details about time and location.
And while I'm updating you, I can let you know that Offside (October 1/13) is now available for pre-order:

Updates!
So, after all the cover reveals, I thought I should post a quick update about what's coming up for me (and oh yeah, get my website updated!)
Coming next is Slammed (September 3). This is the third (and last) (for now!) book in the San Amaro Singles series. In Slammed we reconnect with Dylan Schell, pro surfer, who we met in With Strings Attached. Dylan's a sexy bad boy pro athlete with some tough stuff to overcome.
After that is Offside, which I don't have an exact release date for, but I hope will be out early October. This is the fifth book (and last) (sadly, for sure) of my Heller Brothers hockey series. Yes - it is Matt Heller's story. Matt's all grown up since the last time we met up with him and it's time for his HEA!
Rhythm of Three will be out October 29. This is a follow up story to Rule of Three (it's a novella) so we find out more about how Kassidy, Chris and Dag are dealing with the complications of their relationship.
And then in January, it's You Really Got Me, a BDSM/suspense romance set in California wine country, where a sexy police chief and a determined winery owner struggle with their feelings for each other while a missing persons case turns into a murder investigation.

Here's the latest - Rhythm of Three. This is a follow-up story to Rule of Three, and it will be out October 29/13!

Release day for How to Love!
How to Love is my first menage a trois romance since Rule of Three - which many of you may have picked up during the recent free promotion. I was thrilled with the response to Rule of Three! If you enjoyed it, you will probably like How to Love:
Relationship, no…but threesome, hell yes!
Ever since Jules’s new neighbor moved in, she’s been undressing him in her mind. Mike is the fresh inspiration she needs to make her erotic photography studio a success, if she can convince him and his equally buff roommate, Carlos, to strip for her lens. And maybe indulge in a little off-camera fun as well.
But Jules isn’t too worried. She doesn’t do relationships, but she loves men and sex—and in her experience, most men are okay with that.
Judging from the raw emotions leaping from the images in Jules’s gallery, Mike senses there’s a lot going on beneath her flirtatious, slightly cynical exterior. He and Carlos are happy in their committed relationship, but they’ve always felt there’s a piece missing. They want a woman. Jules could be that woman.
A threesome with two committed men? Sounds like an emotionally risk-free dream come true for Jules. But when they make it clear they want more, her deepest fears push to the surface, straining bonds forged in incredible heat to the breaking point…
Warning: The book features two hot men brave enough to climb cliffs, strip naked for erotic photographs, have sex in a portrait studio and on a cliff, and who have the courage to teach a commitment-phobic woman how to love.
