All proceeds go to another author and the explanation/brainchild idea is explained on Alison Tyler's blog HERE. Let's go forth with the pretties now, shall we?

And The Beat Goes On Through Our Wattpad Experience....Or More Free Chapters
Trapped With Sin got an upgrade this weekend, I'm talking about two new free chapters in the bounty hunter gone wrong series for your free reading pleasure. I also came up with a more official blurb, behold:
Riley is a female bounty hunter dying to take on her father's Bail Bonds business when he retires and she's willing to do whatever it takes to prove it, But all her dreams fly out the window when she has the chance of a lifetime, to bring in her ex-high school boyfriend, Tate for skipping bail on a harmless speeding ticket. They have a rocky history, to say the least but there's no amount of closure that a pair handcuffs on his wrists can't fix. Unfortunately, Riley's fun is delayed when she finds out from Tate's best friend David that Tate is illegally participating in a reality TV show that he created, Sin and Sand, to hopefully win the grand prize money in order to help with Tate's dying mother's medical expenses. Unable to take him out of the running, Riley plans to keep an eye out on Tate--any way she can--including joining the cast, so when Tate's the last man standing with his true love, she can call him out. What ensues is an epic struggle: give into love or the revenge that she's fostered for so long? Along the way she'll meet a naughty nurse with a secret, a camera man who's only got eyes for Riley, and a lot of nakedness. Warning: This book contains hot tub hi-jinx, awkward first dates, one traumatizing high school history, and a reunion story with two people who may or may not want to be reunited in the first place.
Check out the new free chapters HERE or click the picture on the sidebar of my blog. Come along for the fun ride that is writing a book chapter by chapter for free on the internet. So far, it's been a wicked ride.

Trapped With Sin: A Wattpad Experiment
Today I started a Wattpad account and put up the first installment to my romantic comedy erotica novel,
Trapped With Sin
, which is free on Wattpad. I'll be updating a new chapter every week. Trapped With Sin is about a female bounty hunter, Riley, who has the chance of a lifetime to bring in her ex-high school boyfriend Tate for skipping bail. Unfortunately, her good time is delayed when she finds out that Tate is participating in a reality TV show, Sin and Sand, to hopefully win the grand prize money in order to help his mother who's dying of cancer. Unable to take him out of the running, Riley is going to keep an eye out on Tate--any way she can--including joining the cast, so when Tate's the last man standing with his true love, she can slap on the handcuffs.
What ensues is an epic struggle: give into love or the revenge that she's fostered for so long? Along the way she'll meet a naughty nurse with a secret, a camera man who's only got eyes for Riley, and a lot of nakedness.
If you like my little free project please feel free to comment on it. Go HERE to read the first chapter and every new chapter over the next coming weeks.

So ladies and gents,
A Little Slap and Tickle
got a great review, bring on the cheerleaders. If you'd like to see the full awesomeness, please direct yourself to Romancing The Book where they said it was an "Enjoyable Read". Woot! Some highlights:
A Little Slap and Tickle by Elise Hepner is not part of a series but I would love to see these characters again in the future...The chemistry between Eliza and Hunter is scorching. The sex scenes were blistering. These two make a great couple because Hunter gets Eliza to trust herself in ways no one else has... At 83 pages, this was a great quick read. While I have not read this author before I will be keeping an eye out for more in the future.Thanks so much to Romancing The Book!

A Stopover from Justine Elyot About Shared Tastes
I always love having Justine on the blog, so here's another one of her awesome posts. I wish I could live in this book, it's right up my alley! An auto-buy, for sure.
Shared Tastes
I'd like to say thank you, first of all, to Elise for her kind hospitality. It's great to be here!
When it comes to my characters, I often share some tastes with them. Sometimes we like the same music, sometimes we have the same hobby, sometimes one of them even steals an item of clothing from my wardrobe. And, of course, we share a taste for sexual adventure, usually of a kinky variety.
Jasper and Sarah in By His Command, my new Mischief novella, are no different. I have a lot in common with both of them – especially their love of history. Sarah is an historian, and Jasper an avid collector of antiques. When the book (which is a sequel to His House of Submission) opens, Sarah is working at a Victorian House museum while Jasper is working on the script for his next movie – a story of forbidden passion set in a Victorian house... I wonder where he might think of filming it…
Here's an excerpt:
'What's this film all about then?' I asked. Surely it couldn't be a porn flick? Perhaps it was.'Sex,' he said, grinning and strutting around in his riding breeches. 'My God, I should wear these more often,' he said, slapping his thighs. 'I feel like a panto principal boy. Where are the matching boots? And, most importantly, the riding crop?''Is there a riding crop in the film?' I asked, my mouth now dry and the words sounding small and fearful.'Whatever I want to be in the film will be in the film,' he said, posing in front of the chimney piece mirror. 'So, yes, I'd say a riding crop was a given.'He turned to smirk at me.I was wearing my bra and a pair of linen knee-length drawers, the type with a flap at the rear that could be opened to reveal the buttocks.'But what's the script about?' I persisted, wishing Jasper would, for once, give a simple answer to a simple question.'I'm sorry. You're getting anxious again, aren't you? You finish getting dressed and I'll tell you.'He sat down in a plush armchair, watching me release my breasts then cover them again with a short, light chemise.'The script's about social inequalities in the nineteenth century,' he said. 'It's supposed to shine a light on present day conditions. The Poor Law translating to benefit cuts and so forth. The central relationship is between a cruel upper-class bastard and his hapless maid.''It sounds rather grim.''It has a happy ending. She makes him see the error of his ways. At least, it's happy for her, because she inherits his wealth when he commits suicide.''God, we aren't re-enacting that bit, are we?'He laughed. 'No. We aren't re-enactinganything. We're just role-playing around the theme, I think. Nothing is set in stone quite yet. I want to see how these scenes will work.''What scenes?''Our cruel upper-class bastard feels threatened by the maid's serene acceptance of every humiliating burden he casts upon her. He senses her resilience and her fortitude and it makes him mad. He wants to break her spirit. He is the Victorian patriarchy, do you see, getting increasingly wound up about the growing demands for female emancipation. He knows he isn't going to get away with crushing them forever, but he'll have a good go in the short term.''I see. Very deep. And this metaphorical spirit-crushing gives you the chance to film loads of kinky whipping scenes, am I right?''Of course! And why not?''It won't do much to quell those rumours about you,' I cautioned.'Oh, I think I'm coming to terms with that,' he said, rising from his chair. 'In every life there comes a time when we have to own what we are. Don't you think?'
Don't you? If you do, maybe you'd like to take a look at the blurb.
Sarah and Jasper Jay are back for more kinky fun. But this time will it lead to a commitment that reaches beyond mere games of passion? The sequel to Justine Elyot’s bestselling His House of Submission.Sarah’s new job as a costumed guide at a Victorian museum suddenly becomes more tense when Jasper Jay, her lover and master, appears without warning. Jasper is scouting the museum for a film about the sexual misbehaviour of 19th Century lords and the women in their service. A cover story that will allow him to indulge their private fantasy life in authentic surroundings.Beyond the risky role play, under the eyes of Sarah’s colleagues, Jasper’s presence also puts him within reach of Sarah’s family who know nothing of her secret relationship with the world famous film director. But such a dangerous proximity to her family threatens to spoil their fun while forcing Jasper to think seriously about their future.Is this just all a game after a crazy summer fling, or will it free them from their respective pasts?
It's available now from Barnes and Noble as well as Amazon, and ARe
