My Writer Friends: Tory Richards. Check our her newest release.
Check out Tory's newest release from Ellora's Cave: Breathless Surrender.
Here's the blurb:
Months of running into her sexy new neighbor takes a toll on Alexis' libido. There's interest in his smoky gaze every time they meet, but he seems reluctant to ask her out. And other than a slight nod, and a polite hello, that's all they share. About to take matters into her own hands, she finds herself thrown into a situation that could end her life.
With nothing but erotic fantasies of Alexis to warm his bed at night, Reid knows he has to stay away from her until his undercover assignment is over. But when a coldblooded initiation to prove he's trustworthy forces him to involve her, there's nothing to keep him from claiming her.
Here's where you can buy Breathless Surrender.

Check out PARADISE MOON by Jocelyn Modo. Hmmm, the galaxy's hottest bachelor. I wonder if he has blue eyes?
Here's the blurb:
When Kiana landed both her dream job and her dream man, she should have known her luck was about to run out. After months of doing both job and man, she's fallen in love…but he's just in lust. And that's not enough for her anymore.
Arguably the galaxy's most eligible bachelor, Alix Como has been burned by so many ex-girlfriends he no longer trusts any woman he invites into his bed. But somehow Kiana is different. He wants desperately to trust her—if he hasn't already run out of time.

Sailing
Had an excellent mini-vacay in Florida and got to do something I've always wanted to do: sailing! I signed up for a class and spent three hours on the water learning to tack and jibe. On the first run through, I did a complete 360 on the turn, but got better after that.
Sailors claim that a "bad day on the water is better than a good day at work." I think I agree with them. Of course, I had a perfect day for lessons - ten mile an hour winds, little powerboat traffic in the bay and a scrumptious teacher, but a bit young.
My sail day was both a check-off on my bucket list and a bit of writing knowledge for a new contemporary romance I'm working on. AND a tax writeoff. Really, how could I go wrong?
I enjoyed it enough that I might make this a semi-annual outing. Land-ho and back to work. And wasn't it good of David Gandy to come along.

My Writer Friends: Cindy Jacks. Check out WAKING MAGGIE.
My writer friends include CINDY JACKS, who also publishes with Ellora's Cave. Check out her new release WAKING MAGGIE.
Here's the blurb: Maggie's just decided she's been stood up when she bumps into hard-bodied guitarist Calvin—literally. Once the shock of their abrupt meeting wears off, Calvin asks Maggie out for a drink and she figures, why not? She's all dressed up for a date…just not this one.
She enjoys his company, even if he's only twenty-seven and she's forty…something. And while witty conversation's all good, they're just as compatible in bed. One drink turns into multiple romps between the sheets. He's old enough to know how to make love to a woman and young enough to look damn fine doing it…and doing it. He even manages to convince Maggie she's still pretty hot herself.
Now if he would just stop serenading her with that infernal Rod Stewart song.
Here's where you can buy it: http://www.jasminejade.com/m-683-cindy-jacks.aspx

On the Bookshelf: Time Traveler's Wife
I'm curious to know what readers thought about this book. I found this book several months after it came out, devoured it and then recommended it to a friend. Guess what? My friend didn't like it. When the movie came out last year, I was anxious to be the first to say it would be bad, nothing could compare to the book. I was right and wrong.
The movie made a good attempt to put together a cohesive story and had I not read the book, I would have thought it very enjoyable.
So what did you all think? I was amazed by the writer's ability to piece together a very complicated time line. Yes, I cried at the end. I guess I hoped for a happily ever after when it needed to be a "happy for now," story.

And if that wasn't enough, I got a FOUR STAR Review. I think you have to subscribe to read it...sorry.
This is my MESSAGE FROM THE AUTHOR piece:

Book Three of WICKED AFFAIRS
Got my next novel wrapped up and submitted to my editor. WICKED LORD was a treat to write and I had a hard time giving up the wicked Lord Redding. It's fun to create opposing characters - one innocent, one wicked. The sparks seem to fly without in real effort on my part.
Now if only my editor wats to buy it!
