What's swimming in the ocean with Guy? - From Braced For Impact #FridaySnippets, #romance #boxset

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



He sloshed into the ocean, splashing some on his face, waking himself up. Something moved across the surface and disappeared. Guy froze. His heart pounded. His gaze scanned the water. Nothing. Just his imagination. He dove in and surfaced, shook the water off his face and swung his arm around to a front crawl. He'd move forward a few yards and the next wave would push him back. He fought the ocean and gained some distance from shore, but it was hard going. His heart pounded and his upper back and shoulder muscles complained. He floated for a moment to catch his breath.A movement at the corner of his eye put every nerve on high alert. He rode up the wave's swell and hissed. A fin. Any hope in hell that's a dolphin? Merde. How do I get back to shore and not catch his attention? Guy flipped to his back and kicked his feet, while trying to keep a visual on the fin, praying it hadn’t detected him.A large wave moved closer, Guy rolled over and body surfed it closer to shore. The next wave dropped him on the edge of the reef. The sharp coral dug into his hurt side. Tabernac!If blood dripped into the ocean he was in big trouble. Hungry sharks in the middle of feeding frenzy don't care what or who is for dinner. Guy bolted to shore, driving his arms and legs. When he hit sand, he dragged himself out and charged up to higher ground. He collapsed on the beach and stared at the water. A fin surfaced, turned and headed away from shore and back to the wreck.Guy's stomach heaved. Foutre.










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.

5 Things to know about erotic writers #amwriting

1. We do a lot of research - A LOT of research. (Cause we get to look at kinky fun stuff and claim it's for work)


2. We don't let little kids near our computers when we are writing.


3. Did I mention we do a lot of fun research.


4. We always make sure our browser history is cleared before letting the IT guy check the computer.



5. People tend to get all flustered and turn red when an erotic writer looks them in the eye and says, "I'm an erotic romance writer. I write hot sexy stuff."



I'm betting you thought this was going to be all about sex. Lol

Tight faded jeans to show off your...This week's excerpt on WIP It Up Wednesday #wipitup #amwriting

So – Book With No Name has a name – yay!!!!! It also has a series title – unless publisher changes itBook With No Name is now --- What Happens in Bangkok
Scene set – Brian, a Pink Flamingo employee, has just introduced a new drag queen to Erika.
Brian settled onto a chair. "Did you hear the news?""About the Dragon and Peacock?" Erik nodded. "I closed the place and sent everybody home early. Lost a bundle." She shrugged. "It's just money. I couldn't stand to lose any of you." She patted Brian's arm. "You're all like family to me – in a strange kind of way – brothers for half the day and sisters the rest.""You been paying your protection money?"Erik nodded. "In this business, two things in life are for certain, taxes and protection money."Stewart and Sandee exited the room and sat at the table with Erik and Brian. Apollo walked to the center stage."He's not wired. No mic?" Erik glanced at Stewart."Trust us." He smiled and winked."Why do I suddenly have chills? Wait." She held up a hand. "You guys didn't hire a stripper did you? The guy's pretty hot. Biceps and a nice ass.""She's seen him for five minutes and she's checked everything, except the package." Sandee raised one eyebrow."Package has been noted and appreciated. That's what made me think of a stripper. Those white shorts are pretty tight." Erik grinned. A thrill scooted through her."When you all are done talking about my package, I'll sing. Gonna do this a cappella. I seem to have misplaced my back up band." Apollo  hooked his thumbs in his front pockets and locked gazes with Erik.A small fire buried deep in her flickered. She pushed the thought aside. He wasn't interested. He was just performing. She settled back in her chair and signaled to him to begin.He hummed a few bars, found his key, breathed in and released a musical delight. Erik lost herself in his words and the emotions of his song. His gaze never seemed to waver from hers. She felt he was singing to her. Not performing, but as if he were serenading her. As if he was interested. Maybe even wanted her. She mentally slapped her forehead. Hello? Crazy much? He's gay! Well, maybe not. Not all men who dress in drag…stop dreaming. He came in with Brian and the boys. 'Nuff said. But wow, is he hot.When he stopped, Brian and his friends jumped up, cheered and clapped. They turned to face Erik and waited. She stood and walked up to the edge of the stage. "I'm Erika Bailey and you can call me either Erik or Boss Lady."A grin spread across his face as he jumped off the front edge of the stage. "I got the job?""Hell yea. I don't think Darien Scott could sing it that good." She turned. "Stop by later and we'll work out a contract and get the paperwork for your work visa. Okay Brian, now work him into the show. I'm thinking maybe we have the fifth person for the Village People routine you wanted to do."Sandee clapped Apollo on that shoulder. "You'd be a great construction worker. Sleeveless flannel shirt to show off those biceps. Tight faded jeans to show off your—""Thighs?" Apollo grinned.Giggling, Sandee ran his gaze over Apollo. "Oh, so not the body part I was thinking of."

Out Now – Sweet Spot by Lucy Felthouse (@cw1985) #lesfic #erotica #romance #lesbian

Blurb:Virginia Miller is an up-and-coming tennis star. She’s gone from a ratty tennis court in a park in south London, England, to the world’s top training facility—Los Carlos Tennis Academy in California. In awe of the talent around her, Virginia is all the more determined to make the most of the opportunity and show that she’s worthy of her place there. Her mentor, Nadia Gorlando, has every faith in her.But Virginia finds herself distracted—Nadia, as well as being a top-notch tennis player, is seriously sexy, and Virginia’s mind keeps wandering where it shouldn’t. Will her crush get in the way of her career, or can she find a way to push the other woman out of her mind before it’s too late?Please note: This is a re-released title with a new cover—the book content hasn’t changed.Amazon: http://mybook.to/sweetspotOther buy links: http://lucyfelthouse.co.uk/published-works/sweet-spot/Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21521972-sweet-spot*****Excerpt:Nadia Gorlando and I had just gotten off the exercise bikes in the gym when one of the academy’s coaches, Peter Ross, headed over to us, all smiles.“Hey, Nadia,” he said, his all-American grin widening and his blond hair flopping down over his forehead, “I need a huge favor.”I flicked my gaze to Nadia. She raised one of her perfectly shaped eyebrows and waited for him to continue. He did.“I totally lost track of time just now and I have an appointment with Travis Connolly. Would you mind wiping down my machine for me? Or maybe stick a note on it saying it’s out of order? I don’t want to leave it all sweaty for someone else. You’ll be doing me a real solid. I’ll owe you.”My jaw almost hit the floor.Now Nadia rolled her eyes, looked over at the offending machine, then back at Peter. “Sure, I understand,” she said, as cool as ice. “The world’s number one can’t wait. Go right ahead—I’ll fix it for you.”He babbled a load of thanks, then jogged out of the gym.I gaped at her. “You’re not going to do it, are you?”Nadia chuckled. “Of course not. He may be coaching Travis Connolly and Rufus Lampani for the US Open, but that doesn’t mean I’m going to clean up his mess.” She pointed with her chin over to the machine Peter had just vacated. “Come on, V, I’ll show you how I’m going to deal with this.”I followed her, grinning. Her tone told me that it was going to be something fun. Well, for us, anyway. Probably not for Peter.Sure enough, when she returned from the room off the side of the gym, she had a pad of paper and a pen in her hands. Deliberately shielding the pad from my view, she wrote something down, then pulled off the top sheet. Folding it, she then propped it on the sweat-slicked seat so the writing was on view to anyone who happened past.When I’d read and absorbed the words, I turned to Nadia, impressed. Her smile lit up her face, showing dimples in each cheek, and her brown eyes gleamed with amusement.It was in that moment that I decided I had the serious hots for Nadia Gorlando.The sign read,PLEASE EXCUSE THE STATE OF THIS MACHINE. PETER ROSS, TENNIS COACH SUPREMO, “LOST TRACK OF TIME”.*****Author Bio:Lucy Felthouse is the award-winning author of erotic romance novels Stately Pleasures (named in the top 5 of Cliterati.co.uk’s 100 Modern Erotic Classics That You’ve Never Heard Of, and an Amazon bestseller) and Eyes Wide Open (an Amazon bestseller).

A Sinful Education by Layna Pimentel - Pleasure Garden Follies, Book Two #newlease #erotic #historicalromance

A Sinful Education by Layna PimentelSeries: Pleasure Garden Follies, Book TwoRelease Date: March 7, 2016Publisher: Liquid Silver BooksGenre: Erotic Historical RomanceTour Dates: March 7, 2016Lord Charles Avonlea has evaded marriage over the last year, but his mother is determined to find him a wife. Far from consenting to any of her choices, he sets his sights on the one woman unavailable to him, his best friend's younger sister. With no regard for the law or her impending nuptials, he is determined to make Lady Emily Thompson his bride. The only trouble is, he’s stumbled upon dangerous information and hopes he can get to her before it’s too late.Stunned and dismayed at discovering the arrangement between her mother and the Duke of Downsbury, Lady Emily Thompson searches for a way to break the marriage pact with the duke. She longs to be with the only man who indulges her curiosity, yet finds herself in the middle of a scandal that will crush her dreams forever.Will she find a way to get out of marrying the duke, or will she find herself in the same predicament as the previous duchess?
Excerpt:Emily gently closed her chamber door and swept down the hall, pausing outside of his room. The glow of the fireplace danced across the floor under the door, but all was silent. Perhaps he was reading from the privacy of the curtained platform bed or standing in the window, basking in the view the west side of the manor offered.She quietly opened his door and closed it behind her.
No one stirred, nor made a sound.
She took a step forward, parting her lips to call for him.
A soft moan caught her attention and uncertainty crept up her spine. She should not have proceeded, but went on to appease her curiosity. Stealing further into the room, she paused in the corner.

She caught sight of his lordship through the break of the curtains. Charles’ eyes were closed, chest exposed as his hand moved beneath the sheet barely covering his waist. Lord, he’s a sight to watch, but what exactly is he doing?Emily moved closer, but could not make head or tails of his motions. That is, until he called out, “Emily.”He moaned, then kicked off his sheets.Good heavens, the sight of him was impressive. Dark, curly hair dusted his chest. His muscles so refined that the creases begged her to touch them. Dampness settled between her thighs again. What the hell is wrong with me? Did he just moan out my name?She could see clearly now as he stroked his manhood.
Emily gasped and stepped back, bumping into a chair. Drats!

Avonlea opened his eyes.
She lost all sense of what she had stumbled upon. She should not have been there, no matter how glorious or how beautiful he looked with his eyes closed, or how impressive his body appeared. She would land straight in purgatory for this sin and many others, but she stood at the edge of the platform still.

Charles reached for the sheet to cover himself, as he should, but Emily could not help but feel disappointed at the act of modesty. “You should not be here, young lady. What sort of devil are you, for sneaking upon a bachelor’s room as such?”Buy Links:Amazon – Coming soon.Barnes & Noble – http://bit.ly/1TibGfgKobo – http://bit.ly/1WSlMkQIBooks – http://apple.co/1OIQjM6Google Play – http://bit.ly/1LqWmdjLiquid Silver Books – http://bit.ly/1l0mX2YAbout the Author:Born and raised in Toronto, Ontario, Layna discovered her love of reading at an early age.

What people are saying about FLESH5 Star ***** This short story has all the qualities of a great story and it is all compacted in a manner that makes for a satisfying read. Ms. Devore has convinced me that I need to read more of her books, especially if they are written like this one was. One has the initial attraction between two people, their getting to know each other, the misunderstanding and the makeup between them...what more could one want???? Worth the read.

5 Star ***** Ms. Devore has done it again. As one of my favorite, and most anticipated authors, I found myself riveted to the characters and the surprising plot twist that threw me for a loop. I read all her books...what can I say.

From Braced for Impact - I need you to listen before you explode #FridaySnippets #romance #box set

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



Guy tossed off his French Canadian persona, rubbed his face, gulped his wine and poured more cabernet into his shell and Paix's. The truth was not going to go over well. He'd deceived her as her ex had done. How could he blame her? He'd misrepresented himself and lied. He stalled answering her questioning look. His body begged him to wait. She was too enticing; her soft body pressed up against his side, her taut nipples straining against the silk of her top and her long legs, capped by the sheer material. He didn't dare look at her mouth. Her full bottom lip screamed out to him to nibble on it. Her eyes were too intelligent. If he looked into them, she'd know he lied to her. The lie would cut deep. She leaned on him for support and he stabbed her in the back like her ex.He had to assume his cover, Guy from Quebec, accent and all. But she didn't know about her brother. She'd sensed something was wrong. He could see it in her eyes, but in her world the definition of wrong meant her brother punched her ex in the face. In reality, her brother probably threatened to cut her ex's eyes out if he went near her. One point for her brother. Keep the creep ex away from Paix. But that was the only good point. The rest of him was scum and it was his job to help bring the scum in.He glanced out to the plane. It was just visible in the dwindling twilight. If the brother had been trapped in first class then he was gone. That part had sunk earlier. The way the rest of the plane rocked, he guessed it was sitting on an edge of the coral reef. He'd have to swim out tomorrow to check it. Could he find evidence that human trafficker, Steve Allcot was dead? He'd noticed the edges of other islands in the distance. Could Allcot have swum to one of those refuges? The bastard had managed to slip away from other agencies. But now he had Guy Lapierre on his tail. The man was going down.Paix shifted. Her breast rubbed against his chest. His gut clenched. He sensed her need for control was just a protective front. He suspected that she'd be like an ice cube. Cold. Uneasy. But if he applied the proper heat, she'd melt. And like water, if more heat is added a puddle begins to simmer then boil. He wanted to crack her reserve and hear her scream his name as she ground her hips onto him and dug her fingernails into his shoulders. He placed his hand under her chin and raised her face to his. His lip trembled, aching to kiss her mouth. "I have to tell you something and I want you…no, I need you to listen to the whole thing before you explode."






Lost meets Romancing the Stone--action adventure, a dash of mystery, and romance to die for.
Seven planes lift off…seven planes crash…seven stories of struggle, passion and love in the barren Canadian Wilderness, the coast of England, or the steamy heat of a tropical island. Romance hangs in the balance between survival and death.
Box set – 7 fabulous authors.Brace for Impact by Daryl Devoré. What could be simpler than a routine plane trip from Toronto, Canada to Caracas, Venezuela for rookie flight attendant, Lori, and sexy R.C.M.P. officer, Guy Lapierre? But Fate had other intentions.

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.

Book With No Name Finally – FINALLY – has a title #amwriting #eroticromance

First a shout out and massive thank you to Mart, Jennifer and Brenda who have helped with the critiques and given some valuable suggestions. But more importantly, they've dealt with the numerous emails about title ideas for this book. Sorry. *Blush.** Blush.*
Next another shout out and thank you to Jenna, Krista, Melissa Kendall, Dana and Peter who offered suggestions or just offered to help. (If I forgot someone I deeply apologize.)
Over a year ago, I started a book then got stuck and put it away. I wrote FL.E.S.H. then Braced for Impact, but wasn't ready to go back to the first book. Towards the end of 2015, I had a lightbulb moment. The solution to my problem was write a sequel. I hadn't done this before.
People have suggested that I write Trea's story from Black Dorn or Derek Davenport's parents' story from A Kept Woman. I'm not in to writing sequels.
But a sequel solved the problem. So off I went – finished book 1 then started book 2. Now I can't title book 2 because I have no title for book 1. So my series is bogged down as Book With No Name and Book With No Name 2. Happy to announce book 2 is now complete.
But horror of horrors, book 3 announced itself. And you can guess what's its title is – yup - Book With No Name 3.
Book 4 tried to get itself written, but I figured out how to incorporate it into book 3.
This is a very practical way to title your books. Yes, I'll admit it's lacking creativity, but imagine them lined up on a bookshelf – 1,2,3 and so on. None of the craziness of having to remember something like – does the Half Blood Prince come before or after the Chamber of Secrets.
Email after email flew back and forth between Mart, Jennifer, Brenda and I. Most of the emails were – yea, I like the new title, but it's just not quite right. 
We were close a couple of times. Then Jennifer suggested I create a series title. We both liked The Chronicles of… but the only word that goes after Chronicles is Narnia.
Then I finally asked for more help. New eyes and new brains looking at something. And lightning struck. Thank you - Jenna! She suggested a title for book 1 that seemed perfect. I did a little brainstorming and books 2 and 3's titles jumped into place.
So – without further ado – Series title – 2 Hearts ~ 1 LoveBook 1 – What Happens in BangkokBook 2 – Darien's DesireBook 3 – Forever.
BlurbErika Bailey, owner/manager of a drag queen club in Bangkok, Thailand has happily settled into all aspects of her new life, except for her lack of a love life. When a new diva auditions, Erika is confused over her instant attraction to the blond God, Apollo. Darien Scott, on vacation after a world tour, mistakenly figures the safest place to be is at The Black Dragon with the head of a Triad. When the club is hit, Darien is the only person to get out alive. Now he's running from the police and a Triad. Mistake number 1.Disguised as a drag queen, he's hired by Erika, but falls hard for her, then struggles with not coming clean with her. Mistake number 2.Can he fix his mistakes and find life and love or is he headed straight for mistake number 3?
Book 1 is going off to the editor – soon. Whew, this writing stuff is exhausting. I think I'll go find some chocolate.

I'd like to introduce you to....From Book with No Name on this week's Wip It Up Wednesday #wipitup

The scene you've been waiting for - :-)

Also - tomorrow on my blog is a title reveal - I have finally got a name for Book With No Name - so pop back tomorrow.



Finished showering, Erik dried off and dressed in the spare clothes she always kept handy at the club's apartment. She raided the kitchen for some breakfast then settled on her office couch with a couple of slices of toast and a cup coffee to catch the news. Horror filled her as images of the slain patrons of the other clubs filled her screen. She scanned the faces, praying she wouldn't recognize anyone. Tears filled her eyes as familiar visages flashed before her.Why would anybody do this? Everyone paid protection money. She picked up her cell and sent an message to Rumors. A heartbeat after placing the phone on the couch beside her, it chimed. She glanced at the screen. A picture of a bleeding sun flashed. One of the worst Triads in the area.With the news being too painful to watch, she channel surfed. Not paying attention to what was viewing on the screen. A distant noise broke into her doldrums. She tilted her head and listened. A pounding on her door echoed through the club. She crossed the room and peered through the peep hole. Brian's smiling face appeared. She punched the alarm code and unlocked the door."What are you doing here? It's way too early." She stepped back to allow Brian and his friends to enter."Morning. Love you." He kissed her cheek.Once everyone stood inside the kitchen, Brian pointed at the blond and said, "I'd like to introduce you to Apollo."The blond nodded, although Erik was pretty sure it was after he had scanned her from head to toe, with a lingering glance at her breasts. She wasn't embarrassed. She worked out and she knew she looked good, but she was surprised. Brian's friends generally didn't check out girls, only what they wore and in these sweat pants and tank top, she wasn’t dressed to kill.Brian wrapped an arm around her shoulders. "So, Erika honey, remember I said we needed a new singer? Well, I found one. Wait until you hear this guy.""Who does he do? I'd do back handsprings for a Taylor Swift."Brian glanced over his shoulder. "He does a mean Darien Scott. He can move and sing like him."Sandee and Stewart placed hands over their mouths to hide their giggles. What did they find so funny? Was she being setup? She was pretty sure she could trust Brian. He was a straight up kind of guy."Think of it this way," Brian propelled her toward the stage area. "This blond God, hence the name Apollo, singing, oh say, You Stole My Heart or Make Me Love You. The audience will be filled to capacity with horny guys buying lots of drink and fantasizing about him singing to them."Erik rubbed the back of her neck. "Well, let's get him up on stage and see what he can do. Stu, what have we got of Darien Scott's stuff that Apollo here could sing."Stewart shrugged. "Let's go in the sound room and see. Coming Apollo?" He walked to a side door."I'm coming too." Sandee stepped next Apollo. "The sound booth is small, so it'll be cozy.""See." Brian laughed. "Those two are already in lust and he hasn't even sung yet."Erik wiped a small bead of perspiration off her brow. Why was she sweating? It wasn't hot in the club. The only hotness was the new singer. She pursed her lips and nodded. "Well, he does have incredible blue eyes."
