Scene set- Unemployed and desperate - Arianne reads an ad - "Woman Wanted" - slightly :-) drunk - she responds




My name is Arianne. I’m 25 and recently unemployed so I’m ready to explore any job opportunity. Especially one that will pay an excellent salary. I keep in shape. I like to party but I don’t do drugs. I’m not a virgin, but I am clean—no STD’s. I’ve never done anything like this before. I don’t jump into bed with every guy I meet. I’m just a regular girl pushed into a corner and is desperately looking for a way out.

5 Um enredo bastante óbvio que evolui assim que a relação ...
Um enredo bastante óbvio que evolui assim que a relação começa a sofrer uma troca de poder entre o casal. As regras dadas no início do relacionamento/negócio mudam constantemente, e a exploração do BDSM deste casal é perfeitamente equilibrada entre os dois personagens. No começo ela decide tomar o controle, e depois descobre que adora ser controlada. É interessante esta troca de papéis.

Embora previsível, a história é bonitinha e intensa, com momentos fofos e outros mais sombrios. Ambos os personagens são interessantes e bem desenvolvidos.

April 9 - MSS My Sexy Day #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSS136

Welcome to the 136thweek of My Sexy Saturday.

This week’s theme: My Sexy DayThis week’s theme is our nod to sexy Chick Lit. Sorta. That genre means many things to many women. Some are all about the girl. Some are all about the boy. But we want something that is all about the relationship and the sexy day they have together. Now, we understand true Chick Lit affectionaidos will not like our interpretation and we respect that. So, if you do have a true Chick Lit version of a sexy day, then by all means share it.

From FLESH - erotic contemporary billionaire romance

Scene set- Fuchsia and Peyton are in Alaska at his cabin. They gone for a hike.




"Keep your voice low." He reached into the pack and pulled out a leash, which he clipped to Spartacus's collar. "When I say get low, crouch down. I've got something pretty cool to show you." He held her hand and led the way back to the cliff. "Okay down. Look. Over there."Fuchsia knelt next to him. "Oh my God. Is that a bear?""Black bear. But it gets better. Wait for it."The two cubs waddled around their mother and sniffed at something on the ground. Fuchsia squealed. "Babies.""Cubs.""Baby cubs."Close enough.





FL. E. S. H.FLame's Electrifying Sexy HeatWhen secrets conflict with dreams, love explodes.

What people are saying about FLESH5 Star ***** I had never read any of Daryl Devore's books and man, am I glad I read this one! Peyton is the guy we all want and Fuchsia is a girl who is not giving up on her dreams. When the two collide, everything is turned upside down and the result is hot, but also laugh out loud funny. I will definitely have to read more of Devore's books!
5 Star ***** This is the first book I have had the privilege of reading by Daryl Devote (Devore). I'm hooked!! Peyton and Fuchsia's story was full of heat and love. Their playful banter had me laughing out loud. I would definitely recommend this book to my family and friends.

Dark but Surprising - Black Dorn on Friday Snippets #FridaySnippets #erotic #medieval #romance

Black Dorn Snippet - 


Stop that crying or by all that is powerful, I will beat you." "Do not yell so. You will frighten the poor child." Through tears, Branwyn stared at her uncle and aunt. "I…I do not understand. Why must I go?" Her aunt sat next to her. "It is your time, child. A husband has been chosen. You must leave us to join with him." "About time it is!" Her uncle’s face grew redder with each word. "One year shy of a score she is, and still unwed. She must fall to her knees to thank God someone wishes to marry such an old spinster." Branwyn slapped the arm of her chair. "I decline. It is my right. I shall not marry this man!" "How many men do you think you can refuse?" Her uncle paced about the small room. "This is the fourth suitor to ask for your hand. You cannot. It is done. Your things are being loaded as we speak." He jerked back a curtain in the window and pointed. The door opened and in stepped a tall broad-shouldered soldier. "The carriage awaits." "Branwyn." Aunt Selda patted her hand. "You have no dowry. This is a good match. He is a rich man. He will give you babies." Suspicion gnawed at Branwyn's stomach. "And what did he give you?" "Gold." Uncle Egbert picked up his purse and dropped it, with a rattle, back onto the table. Branwyn dried her eyes with the edge of her sleeve, stood, kissed her aunt on the cheek and strode out the door to face her destiny. A carriage with two strong, brown horses stood at the entrance. Two guardsmen on horseback waited. The driver offered his hand to help her mount. Branwyn paused and turned. No one waited to say goodbye. The door of her uncle's manor closed with a determined firmness. Warm tears gathered at the corner of her eyes. She blinked them back, then settled herself, pulled a blanket over her legs and snapped the curtains closed. If the family she’d grown up with refused to cry and wish her well, she would not shed a tear or turn for a final glance at her adopted home. With a shout and a shudder, the carriage pulled away. For three days and nights, the horses pounded across the land. Her body ached from the incessant shaking. The driver allowed her allowed brief intervals to exit the carriage. A guard, always on hand, escorted her to an inn. As much as she tried to converse with her escort, no one spoke to her. While she ate a quick meal, fresh horses, a new driver and soldiers relieved the tired ones. A rough blanket was Branwyn’s refuge into sleep—no bed, no soft down pillow, no gentle breeze billowing through her curtains, just the constant movement of the carriage. Branwyn’s eyes would begin to close when a sharp jostle would snap her awake. When the coach stopped, Branwyn’s trial was over. Her patience had worn thin and exhaustion weighed heavily on her. The door opened and she stepped down the stairs and onto the land of her new home.

5 stars BLACK DORNThis book was really hot. Read the whole thing in 2 hours. Once you pick it up you will not put it down. The characters in the story are great and the theme of the book is BDSM but totally enjoyable. Malack and Branwyn are characters that you can relate to. The fact that he choose her over women with a title was also intriguing. It was good that Branwyn choose to have Leah as her lady in waiting. To find out that Malack and Branwyn allowed Duncan his man servant and Leah to wed was good now they are all happy. You need to read the book to find out the middle and the end. It was truly surprising what happens and how it happens.
5 stars Dark but SurprisingThis story turned out to be a real surprise for me. I was expecting a much darker tale from the description. The beginning did seem to live up to something very dark but then it seemed that all of a sudden light came and brought the whole story into a new light. It was a wonderful story of love, redemption, and sometimes having to do something terrible to create lasting peace. I love that all the female characters could be submissive and yet strong and that the male characters despite their strength could show their strong feelings.

I recommend this to anyone that love a great love story but sometimes like to have a bit of bit to it.
5 stars Awesome steamy story - new favorite authorBranwyn is a complex character, who begins the book timid and modest. However, in Black Dorn, timid and modesty are two sinful attitudes. Quickly, she is thrown into a world of passion and sex. But she only has eyes for one man, Malack the Gon-Dra. He is fierce and does not hide his body or his lust. However, Branwyn catches his eye and soon his heart.

This was a quick read and I found myself up late at night to finish it. The kind of drama and love story that leaves you breathless and then sighing in contentment at the end.

I will definitely read more books by Daryl Devore.
From Coffee Beans & Love Scenes / 4 StarsThe way the reader is taken on a journey with the main lead. You only see what the writer wants you to see and I thought that was really great. She defies all odds and falls in love with the man of the house. Their romance is beautiful and well written and as you read you wish them the best. Daryl Devore has written another great read.

Out Now – Love Through a Lens by Lucy Felthouse (@cw1985) #romance #erorom #maytodecember 

Blurb:Celine Patterson is a recent graduate eager to begin her career as a camerawoman—with the fashion world and all its glitz and glamour calling to her. Things aren’t that simple, however, and she’s forced to take a job making a documentary in the Peak District countryside with a mid-list British actor.In spite of her initial disappointment—not only is the job not what she wanted, the pay is appalling, too—Celine warms to the project. The actor she’s working with, Edward Robson, is kind, considerate, funny and a consummate professional. She realizes she can learn a great deal from him, and resolves to do so.As the days of the shoot pass by, Celine grows increasingly fond of Edward, and that fondness quickly goes beyond the platonic. Convinced her crush is completely one-sided—he’s over three decades her senior, for starters—she tries hard to ignore it, hoping the feelings will go away.But then something happens to change Celine’s opinion, and flip her world upside-down. How will she react? And can she emerge from this project with both her career and her heart intact?Note: Love Through a Lens has been previously released as part of the Sweet Sensations boxed set.Buy links:Amazon: http://viewbook.at/lovethroughalensAll Romance eBooks: https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-lovethroughalens-1989937-153.html?referrer=6bdb1f9160564c0525b41f36e51861a0Barnes & Noble: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/love-through-a-lens-lucy-felthouse/1123478459?ean=2940152888836iBooks UK: https://itunes.apple.com/gb/book/love-through-a-lens/id1088005149?mt=11iBooks US: https://itunes.apple.com/us/book/love-through-a-lens/id1088005149?mt=11Kobo: https://store.kobobooks.com/en-us/ebook/love-through-a-lensSmashwords: https://www.smashwords.com/books/view/617874?ref=cw1985Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/29339082-love-through-a-lens*****Excerpt:Celine gritted her teeth and hung tightly onto the straps of her backpack as she forced one foot in front of the other up the steep incline. Her heart felt like it was going to explode from her chest, and her lungs screamed with the effort of providing her oxygen supply. Really, she needed to stop, to catch her breath, regain some equilibrium. But Edward was already way ahead of her, striding powerfully along as though their chosen path were perfectly flat. He had a huge backpack of his own, too, which didn’t seem to be slowing him down a jot.But then, this was the difference between the two of them—or one of the differences, anyway. Edward Robson, mid-list British actor, was also a very keen outdoorsman, and probably did these kinds of walks all the time—with or without a camera being pointed at him.Celine Patterson, however, was a different story altogether. Newly graduated from university, she’d struggled to find filming work in her preferred field—fashion—and so she’d had to cast her net wider. Incredibly wide, as it happened.With hindsight, it was easy to see why she’d gotten the job with Edward—nobody else had wanted it. Not a damn soul. Traipsing around the Peak District wasn’t so bad, but add in heavy camera equipment, camping gear, food, clothing, maps, plans, GPS unit, satellite phone and makeup—for Edward, not for her—and a nice walk suddenly became a grueling trek. The money was poor, too, especially considering she was the only member of Edward’s crew. Could a single person even be called a crew? Or was she just a dogsbody?She’d had no choice. It was this job or nothing. Crap money or no money. And, most importantly, this credit on her CV or no credit at all. She knew she had to start racking the credits and references up soon, if she wanted to get ahead in the highly competitive field.So here she was, dragging herself up a heart attack inducing hill in the wake of an actor-cum-presenter. At least the project was interesting; they were checking out sites of myths, legends and ghost stories, that kind of thing. Edward was nice, too—kind, polite and pretty funny. Even better, it wasn’t raining. Overall, things could be a damn sight worse. She could be working with animals or children—or even both. And she’d heard many times over that they were the absolute worst.She was still convincing herself that things weren’t that bad after all, when she glanced up and came to an abrupt halt as she realized there was a crotch practically in her face. Snapping her head up so fast it made her neck hurt, she made eye contact with Edward, who was standing a couple of paces farther up the slope, hence the awkward face-to-crotch angle. Her already hot face blazed with embarrassment. For once, she hoped the fact she was overheated would hide her mortification. The slight breeze that blew was doing nothing to lower her temperature.

Release Blitz for Assigned A Mate by Grace Goodwin #releaseblitz #erotic #romance

Book Blurb:When a potential threat against her life forces Eva Daily to seek shelter on another world, she has only one option available to her. She must offer herself to the Interstellar Bride Program. After a deeply humiliating assessment of her suitability, Eva will be assigned a mate and transported to his world to become his bride.

Upon arriving on the desert planet Trion, Eva soon learns that things are quite different than she is used to on Earth. Her assigned mate, the powerful, handsome High Councilor Tark, makes it clear that she will be expected to submit to him completely, and she quickly discovers that disobedience will earn her a painful, embarrassing spanking on her bare bottom.

An intimate examination from her new mate leaves Eva blushing crimson, but to her surprise Tark’s mastery of her body arouses her beyond anything she could have ever imagined. Soon enough she finds herself naked, bound, and unable to resist the urge to beg for more as his skillful lovemaking brings her to one shattering climax after another.

It doesn’t take long, however, for Eva to realize that there is much more to Tark than just a dominant brute who will not hesitate to take his misbehaving wife over his knee and redden her bare bottom thoroughly. But just as her passion for him begins to blossom into love, events back on Earth threaten to tear her away from him forever. Can Eva find a way to remain at Tark’s side and in his bed, or will she be left with nothing but memories of the man who has claimed both her body and her heart?

Publisher’s Note: Assigned a Mate is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, medical play, anal play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Excerpt:“I don’t need to be fucked,” I countered, although I didn’t need to look down at my nipples to know they’d tightened at his intentions. When he’d played with my pussy with his fingers, he’d only left me more achy and aroused than ever. Unfulfilled.

He grinned at me and he looked so different, so handsome that my breath caught in my throat.

“Are you sure about that? You were dripping on my fingers just a few minutes ago. You cried out with pleasure with the neurostim exam. I licked your juices from my fingers. Would you deny this now?”

I tried to squirm away, but he was too strong. He stroked his fingers over my folds once again, then lifted them up so we could both see the glistening wetness.

My cheeks flamed.

“Your body disagrees with your mind. Obey me or you will be punished again.”

I gulped at the formidable tone of his voice and still felt the sting on my bottom. “Again? But I’ve done nothing wrong!”

Tark sighed. “You are thinking too much. Sometimes a punishment is just what you need.” He tugged me closer to the small table, although my feet slowed and stalled his progress.

“Obey,” he repeated as he looked down at me. “Lean over the table.”

I looked at the strange table, certainly not the kind that one would eat from.

“Why?” I asked, frowning.

He sighed once again, but remained calm. “Are all Earth women this contrary and curious or is it just you?”

With a hand on my upper back, he bent me over the table. His touch was gentle but the intent behind it was clear. He would have his way, and deep down, I wanted him to.

The table was narrower than I’d first thought, only covering my belly, and I hissed as the cold surface pressed to my skin. My breasts hung down and the chain dangled. I felt the table rise automatically until just my toes were on the carpet. Tark squatted down and affixed my right ankle to one table leg with a smooth leather strap, then the left to another. I tried to kick out, but it was wasted effort. The bonds were very secure.

“You may fight against the bonds, but it will do no good,” Tark murmured, standing once again to push my upper body back down. His voice was hard. Bent over as I was, I tilted my head and looked up at him, but my long hair fell in the way. His eyes were so dark, so intense. His square jaw was clenched. “The claiming process must be completed so no others attempt to touch you.” Tark ran his hand up and down my bare spine with gentle attention to every curve and swell. “You will be fucked. Your only decision is whether I will spank you again first.”

Scene set- Back track - drunk Derek posted an ad for a woman. Depressed and jobless Arianne is looking for a job. She picks up the paper and reads....



Hi. I’m Derek. I’m looking for a woman. I don’t want a girlfriend or a lover. Just a mutually sexually satisfying companion. The work will be minimal and the pay will be excellent. If interested email me your name, an introduction - 100 words or less - and a photo to entice me to hire you. Arianne drank her wine and stared at the laptop screen for fifteen minutes while she had a mental debate. The “yes” voice in her head won out.

Amanda believes she has left her past behind. Then she acquires a stalker. Birth of Adam by Liza O'Connor #scifiRom #newrelease

Birth of AdamBook 2 of the Artificial Intelligence Sci-Rom SeriesBy Liza O’Connor
BlurbWith a new identity, Amanda believes she has left her past behind. Then she acquires a stalker. She contacts the FBI and in doing so alerts a program she once created to her location. Now ensconced in the internet, the program is safe from harm, smarter than ever, and sentient. Presenting itself on her phone as a handsome face with a sexy British accent, “Adam” ingratiates himself into Amanda’s life. To ensure her safety and happiness, the sentient program proves there is absolutely nothing he can’t and won’t do.
ExcerptThe moment the doctor left the room, Luke replaced the mic in her ear, and Adam’s first words were “I love you”. She smiled and started to write her response.“There’s something I should confess,” Adam said. “When you actively think in your head, I can pick up the brainwave activity and hear what you say. I’ve never admitted this particular ability because I feared you’d think it creepy and invasive. However, given the extensive damage to your throat, you will need to remain quiet for many months, so I am hoping you will forgive me for not telling you before. I have always tried to be polite and ignore what I hear.”Amanda’s response was immediate. You rascal! I knew you could read my mind! “So you are not angry?”Not at all. In fact, I like knowing I can talk to you anytime. When I woke up and you weren’t in my head, I was terrified I’d lost you.“I know, love,” Adam said. “But that is simply not possible. Wherever you go, I will be there.”

About LizaLiza O’Connor was raised badly by feral cats, left the South/Midwest and wandered off to find nicer people on the east coast. There she worked for the meanest man on Wall Street, while her psychotic husband tried to kill her three times. (So much for finding nicer people.)

What's Guy's view of Heaven? From Braced for Impact on Friday Snippets #FridaySnippets #romance

This months snippets are from the fabulous box set- Crashing into Love and my story- Braced for Impact.



The cool water flowing over Paix's neck brought a shiver as well as joy. She scooped a handful and splashed her face. The water streamed down her cheeks, dripped off her chin and trickled onto her chest. She wanted to wallow in the stream's delicious coolness. Let the water slip over her skin. The island was muggy. Trudging through the forest was hard work. She didn't want to complain, but her feet ached from cuts and bruises. As a child, she'd run around the park in her bare feet, laughing with delight until her mother would insist she put her shoes on or they'd go home. At this moment, Paix missed her shoes.She tugged on the hair tie, loosening the bun. She felt and heard it pop. Looking at the broken elastic, she sighed. Never fails. Don’t have an emergency hair tie and this one has to break. She knelt next to the stream and leaned forward, sloshing her hair in the water. It wasn't as good as a washing from a professional hair stylist, but it did rinse off the salt and get some of the sand out of her hair. Standing, she flipped her hair back over her shoulders and let it hang down her back. Rivers of water streamed off each strand. She scooped a couple of handfuls of water and splashed it against her body. Her nipples contracted at the touch of the coolness. She slid her hands down her body, wiping away the water. Closing her eyes, she imagined Guy stroking her. His large, strong hands brushing softly against her flesh. His biteable lips kissing her neck.Snapping herself from her thoughts, she bent low, cupped her hand and filled it with water. She raised her hand to her lip and sucked in the liquid."Oh, mon Dieu." His voice broke the silence. "Now I know what heaven looks like."Paix bolted to upright, turned and groped for her blouse."Sorry. I know that was inappropriate, but again I say, my mouth gets ahead of my brain." He grinned. "But it was a lovely view. I'll go sit on that fallen palm and leave you to dry off in privacy.""Make sure you are turned toward the ocean and aren't looking this way."His gaze scanned her from head to toe, slowing at her breasts and navel. "Yes, ma'am."







Lost meets Romancing the Stone--action adventure, a dash of mystery, and romance to die for.

What people are saying about Crashing Into Love – box set


5.0 out of 5 stars Wow I love this box set
I've read books by two of these authors and loved them so I had to get this set. It didn't disappoint. I got this book mostly for Brenda's and D'Ann's books but the rest of the novellas were pleasantly surprising will get books by the other authors Brenda Dyers Love Comes Crashing In I loved the way the characters were best friends and end up together sometimes your best friend is the one you belong with. D'ann Lindun's Falling Hard I love Cowboys enough said but Gage and Teagan were a great opposites attract storyline
Daryl Devore's book was fantastic also it was probably one of my favorites of the set. I was crying at the end thinking the worst but it turned out great.

My thoughts on the power of words and the fragility of a writer's ego. #mythoughts

The power of words and the fragility of a writer's ego.
This is a page from a writer's workshop I taught back in November.



And as it turns out - that criticism from a friend can smack you down even harder.  A few weeks ago I had a rough week - in the real world - daughter and a close friend has some huge issues that were basically unsolvable, but they needed to vent. Suddenly the limited 140 characters of a tweet was really appealing. Say it in 140 characters and move one. Not a 3 page email.

So while I'm dealing with that I received a criticism which knocked me for a loop.  A few simple words  and my day went to "hell in a hand basket".

That's the power of words - a writer can chose a few, string them together and create a line that lives in a reader's heart.  Think back to your favourite book - is there a line from it that catches your breath. Or if you're not a book reader, think back to your favourite movie - a line from it. A writer still wrote the line ;-)

A powerful thing words and written one way can crush a writer or written the other can lift a spirit.

Here are 5 words a friend sent me to cheer me out of my funk. It made me smile. That's the power of words.
