If you’re looking for a fun, light, and sexy read, look no further than One Night in Dublin. Once I got started, I couldn’t put it down and read it in one sitting. Wow! I was swept away to Ireland where I was drawn into the protagonist’s life changing choices she would make during one of the busiest times of Dublin’s year—St. Patrick’s Day. And boy does it bring a surprise. Enjoy. I know I did. ~ Amanda Berbatiotis, Goodreads, 5 stars

Sive has decided to make a choice on St. Patrick’s Day – a big choice that could impact her future significantly. In the midst of all the hoopla of the celebrations taking place in Dublin we meet the three men in Sive’s life and hear her thoughts as she tries to determine which one might be her forever guy. This novella is more than a love story. It tells of the growth in character of Sive, gives history of the city and provides an ending that is better than even Sive expected. This is a well-crafted, well-told story that had me riveted and rooting for Sive throughout. And, the guy she ends up with would be any woman’s dream! ~ Cathy Geha, Goodreads, 5 stars

Thank you so much, Amanda and Cathy! I'm so thrilled you both enjoyed this story.

So, I hear you asking, "Kem, when do we get to see your cover?"

Well . . . soon! I'm currently organizing a cover reveal. I'll post the cover as soon as the book goes up for pre-order, which I hope will be before Ho Ho Day. For a hint of what you can expect from the hero of this story, check out my last blog, Beardy Goodness ;-)

Incredibeard - Isaiah WebbSo, last night, I participated in a great event to help celebrate the release of an anthology of sexy stories by some of my online buddies . . . The Lady Smut Book of Dark Desires. We all had a great time and I met some new and fabulous folks...and picked up a few new friends on my Facebook page.
One of the best discussions we had on my side of things was the topic of men with beards in romance, erotica, and erotic romance. We all shared some feelings on the matter, and shared some photos of some great bearded men!

The general consensus was that a lot of women didn't realize some of the men they were attracted to were beardies! And some of those who were deadset against men with facial hair, quickly changed their minds when we shared some of photos of hunky bearded men.

Here's the link if you want to check out the discussion.https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10205285249154655
One of the main reasons I posed the question 'to beard or not to beard', was because I'm about to release a new volume in the City Nights Series from Tirgearr Publishing -- One Night in Dublin (out 27 February 2015).
In my book, the hero has a beard. Not just facial scruff, but a full-on, fist full of whiskers beard. I've never written a bearded hero before, nor a bad guy for that matter, so this was a great challenge for me.
Other great challenges were writing in the first person/present tense, and setting a full story within a 24 hour time frame. But those are subjects for another post. Today, I'm sharing some images of some great bearded men who have cropped up on the big screen in the last year or two.
I also want to shore up the prediction I made over the summer while writing One Night in Dublin. That is, we'll see more bearded heroes in 2015. Not the facial scruff kind, but the full-on, fist full of whiskers kind ;-)

I bet you have some favorite actors or other performers who have beards and you really never thought if you liked them because of their beard or not . . . George Clooney, Johnny Depp, Hugh Jackman, Chuck Norris, Brad Pitt, Christian Bale, Russell Brand, Leonardo Di Caprio . . . the list goes on. I'd love to hear some of your favorites. Those above are some of mine.
