Liza O'Connor's sci-fi latest - Surviving Outbound


Surviving OutboundByLiza O’Connor BlurbSaran along with her ‘not dead, just no longer human’ soul-bond—Tamara, and their giant blue bull leave in search of a handler so Blue can escape Earth and travel outbound. The man Saran meets and falls in love with turns out to be Tamara’s husband. Their spiritual joining of three sets into play a prophecy written long ago. Together, they become Tamsarandem, the most powerful soul-bond in all the multiverses.
The shamans pay for their voyage to Terranue, an unknown planet, never before colonized by humans. In return, Tamsarandem must look after the other colonists and help them to prosper and find their Paths of Light. They will need to do this mostly on their own, for the Gods are running out of authorized interventions. However, the God Pane, with the help of the sentient ship-computer, Marybell, constantly search for clever workarounds to ensure The Path of Light will reign supreme upon the final collapse. But there is only so much they can do within their bureaucratic rules.
Having failed to stop Tamsarandem from leaving Earth, those who walk the Path of Darkness embed their own people, including their darkest lord, on the ship to ensure it will never arrive at Terranue. ExcerptOutside the shaman’s gates, food was so scarce that people were eating anything—rats, dogs, even humans to survive. Her sweet soul-bond didn’t need to know the hell Earth had fallen into. But it made Tamara realize their destiny. She had to get Saran off this planet before the shaman’s wall gave way to the people desperate to escape the cities. At one time, everyone had scorned the poor farmers who worked so hard, yet could barely afford a new outfit, while the cities were filled with the rich and decadent. But then Earth’s poles reversed, which diminished the electromagnetic shield that had protected the planet from the sun’s power bursts. With Earth exposed to magnetic storms, the electrical grids fried along with all the databases attached to them. In a blink of an eye, all over the world, trillions of electronic dollars disappeared forever. Every modern economy fell, and chaos erupted. Only the lands possessed by the shamans remained unchanged. They’d never used data banks or electricity. They kept bank records on written ledgers and used bartering and the currency of silver for goods.Tamara approached and studied their only possession of value: Blue. She’d bought the massive blue bull eight years ago. Even though she possessed strong mind-speak and could control any animal, even as a calf Blue had always been a handful. In the last six years, he had grown into a massive beast, no longer controllable through mind commands. He could be reasoned with, but no one, not even Tamara, could force him to obey. She feared no ship would take him now. She could only pray the shaman would perceive how special this bull was and allow him to accompany them.Sales LinkBook 2: Surviving OutboundAmazonBook 1: The Gods of ProbabilitiesAmazonAbout AuthorLiza is a multiple genre author of 15 novels.

From Brace For Impact - We're dropping too fast. On Weekend Writing Warriors #8Sunday

LINK BACK TO WWW
From Brace for Impact from the Crashing Into Love box set- which made it to #2!!!!!
Scene set - Rookie flight attendant, Lori, is strapped in at the back of a crashing airplane.
Lori's professional calm shattered. The passengers under her care were going to die. She was going to die. The sensation of utter loneliness swamped her. She clenched her fists until her short nails dug into the palms of her hands. Pressure built in her ears. She tried all the tricks she knew, but the pressure wouldn't release. We're dropping too fast.

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 (22 5 star reviews)
***** Loved Each Story!!
It's not too often that I read an anthology and like ALL the books, but with this Crash antho - I loved each one! Each story is well developed, characters believable, and all are well written. I'm so glad I saw the advertisements of the upcoming release of this book. I thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in each story and found it money well spent!

Sexy 7 from Capri's Fate on My Sexy Saturday #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSS104

For some sexy beach time I am posting a snippet from my erotic contemporary fantasy - Capri's Fate.
Scene set- WARNING - SEXUAL CONTENT Capri and Thall are on the edge of a tropical lagoon.
Her stomach jiggled as a soft chuckle emerged from her throat. "I know a much better place where you can use that tongue action.""Just trying to find where you hid that special place. Am I getting warm?""Yes."He moved an inch further along her belly. "Warmer?" His lips pressed against the band of her bikini bottom. "Getting hot." She arched her hips.He continued placing kisses down the front of her bathing suit. He caught a whiff of her aroused scent. Hooking his index fingers on her waistband, he slipped the suit bottom off and placed it on the grass beside them. Capri rolled over and opened her legs. Thall knelt between and slid his right hand down her belly, trickled his fingers through her damp hair and slid the tip of his middle finger across her clit. She hissed, tilted her hips up and spread her legs further.

Capri's Fate
Erotic contemporary fantasy
Blurb
What's a woman to do when a voice follows her home and makes mad, passionate love to her?
Corporate business woman, Capricious Gray, is dragged to a sex toy convention by her best friend. Once a shocking, mysterious disembodied voice helps her with her purchases, it follows her home. Passion ensues, leaving Capri torn between lust for her fantasy lover and the desperate need for reality in her life.
Thall, son of one of the Fates, harbors the irrepressible need to be with the woman he's desired from afar for years. In order to make her his, once and for all, he must help Capri get past her fears, including the fear of what he represents - a fantasy.
Can fantasy become a reality for these two lovers?

What people are saying about Capri's Fate
Not Your Average RomanceBy Pandora Spocks on May 31, 2015Capri's Fate, a supernatural erotic romance by Daryl Devore is not my usual cup of tea. I don't usually go for a supernatural element in erotic fiction BUT as I read this book I was pleasantly surprised. Capricious Gray attends an erotic toy convention with a friend and brings home more than she bargained for. Thall is the half-human, half-immortal Fate assigned to watch over the bold and audacious Capri. He's also the love of her life, or will be, if Fate will have it.
Capri's Fate is the second book I've read by Daryl Devore. I very much enjoyed A Kept Woman: A Billionaire's Story so I took a chance on this one. I'm so glad I did. By the way, at one point in the story, Capri was reading a novel on her Kindle, which turned out to be another by Daryl Devore, Black Dorn. I loved this clever book plug and immediately bought that one as well.
I recommend Capri's Fate. It's not your usual romantic read and I think you'll like it.

Oh, mon Dieu. How much did I drink last night? Friday Snippets #FridaySnippets

From the 19 5 star reviews box set - Crashing Into Love.........

Scene set -The plane crashes onto a Caribbean reef. After rescuing the flight attendant, Guy jumps into the water and swims for shore. Something bumps his shoulder. It's a can of beer. Guy makes it to shore and falls asleep.
Squawk.Squawk. Squawk!Guy squeezed his eyelids tighter. "Oh, mon Dieu. How much did I drink last night?"Squawk.He peeled open one eyelid then snapped it shut. The sunlight was mind-piercingly bright. Blinking, he opened his eyes and focused toward the annoying sound. A seagull pecked at his sodden backpack. He flapped a hand. "Go away."The seagull stood sideways, cocked his head and eyed him with one eye."Yes, you. You go away. And take your friends." Guy pushed up to his hands and knees. His arms ached from the effort of last night's swim. He flipped over and settled on the sand. His gaze swept across the water. Far off to his right floated the remains of what was his flight from Toronto, Canada to Caracas, Venezuela. What the hell happened? He'd been asleep when people starting yelling. Jerked awake, he reached for his gun then remembered where he was. His gaze scoured the plane looking for the problem until he realized it wasn't someone on the plane. It was the plane. Survival instincts and training kicked in. He helped rescue the flight attendant and got himself safely off the plane. Now he was seated on some tropical beach, somewhere in the Caribbean. He smiled. Those palm trees along the shoreline looked a lot better than the massive, dirty snow banks back home. And the sea breeze rustling his hair was like a warm embrace, not like a hard slap of the brutal Ontario winds in January. Tropical island. A fantasy come true. Except to complete the picture; a beach chair, cold beer and beautiful woman were missing. Well, I got one of the three things. He grabbed his pack, dug through and pulled out his celebratory can of beer. He popped the tab, tilted back his head and poured the golden liquid down his throat. He grimaced at the first mouthful and spit it onto the sand. That washed the salty flavor out of his mouth and the rest of the beer was delicious and refreshing.Belch!Ah. C'est bon ça.He stuffed the can into the sand and rubbed his upper lip. "Being stranded on a tropical island wasn't covered in the R.C.M.P. training manual, so let's just go with the basics. Sit Rep. I'm alive. Good. Stranded on an island. Okay. No food." He dug through his backpack and pulled out a chocolate bar. "Food. Got it. Water. Nope. Just drank my only beer. Other people?" He glanced right and left. No one was visible. The smiling face of the cute flight attendant, Lori, popped into his mind. "Hope she made it out alive. Sit Rep analysis – merde."

Sneak Peek Excerpt of Circling Back by Amanda Young
Sneak Peek Excerpt of Circling Back by Amanda Young
Title: Circling Back
Author: Amanda Young
Genre: M/M/F Erotic Romance
Book Release Date: August 10th

Blurb:A second chance is only the beginning...
Stella fled home at seventeen with a broken heart, an unplanned pregnancy, and a vow never to look back. Twenty years later, she has a career she enjoys and a solid relationship with the child she placed for open adoption. When that child goes in search of her birth father and calls for assistance, Stella is forced to return to her hometown and face the men who broke her heart, one of whom fathered her child.
Gavin and Holden raised a lot of hell as teenagers. They broke the law, broke their mother's hearts, and almost broke each other before they finally got their act together. Through all the ups and downs, they stuck by each other and managed to build a happy life together. The one thing they couldn’t do was forget the woman they’d loved and lost.
Forced to face the past and each other after so many years is no small feat. The trio does their best to make amends and put the past behind them while forging new bonds. Old feelings are rekindled and new emotions emerge from the ashes of their youthful indiscretions. Something remarkable could be on the horizon if they’re strong enough to navigate the pitfalls of a triad relationship and stand strong against the outside forces conspiring to bring them to their knees.
Sneak Peek Excerpt:
Stella glanced at Gavin and found his gaze headed south of her lower back. “See something you like?”“I see something I love.” Gavin moved in close behind her and ran the outside of his thumb down her bare arm. “I love every inch of your beautiful body, from your beautiful, long hair all the way to your cute little toes.”Stella basked in Gavin’s admiration. “That’s good to know.”“You could make yourself more comfortable and let me express my regards for your many, many charms.” Gavin nuzzled the curve of her throat and pressed his warm lips against the sensitive skin beneath her ear.The sensual touch sent a shiver down Stella’s spine and made her nipples tighten in anticipation of taking Gavin up on his offer. “I really wish you could.”“We can.” Gavin pulled her ear lobe into his mouth, nibbled, and released it.“We really can’t. Holden and Mae will both here soon.”Gavin slid an arm around her waist and pulled her back tight against him. “We could be quick.”Stella could feel the long, stiff length of him pressed against her bottom. She closed her eyes and prayed for the strength to resist. “You’ll just have to be patient and wait until tonight.”Gavin groaned. “You’re so mean to me.”Stella couldn’t help but laugh. She turned and wrapped her arms around Gavin’s neck. “You pitiful, pitiful man. Would a kiss make you feel better?”“That might tide me over until later as long as it’s a good one.”“I think I can meet your needs.” Stella brushed her fingers through the soft hair at Gavin’s nape and pulled him down to meet her as she lifted up and glided her lips over his. She kept the caresses soft for the first few passes and then pressed up a little harder and licked across Gavin’s lower lip. The tip of Gavin’s tongue met her own and flicked back and forth, taunting her into giving chase and deepening the kiss. Gavin’s mouth tasted sweet and minty, like he’d ate a piece of candy right before she’d arrived. Delicious.Something banged in another room and then Holden’s voice called out. “Honey, I’m home.”Gavin retreated and opened his eyes. He smiled at Stella. “Looks like we’ll have to pick this up later.”Stella blinked up at Gavin. “Yeah. Later.” Definitely later. She could hardly wait. All she’d had was a little taste of what being with them was like. She couldn’t wait to discover what else they had in store for her.With that thought in mind, she trailed back down the hall behind Gavin. He rounded the corner ahead of her and she heard his breath catch a second before her gaze landed on Holden and the spectacular bruise blossoming across his right cheekbone.“Jesus fuck,” Gavin exclaimed. “What happened to your face?”“Are you okay?” Stella asked, walking forward. “Did someone hit you?”“Tell us what happened.” Gavin cupped Holden’s jaw in both hands.“I got to meet Joanna’s ex. It was a real pleasure, let me tell you.”“And he punched you?” Gavin asked.It took Stella a moment to place the name as the guy’s old shop steward. “Why would her ex assault you?”Holden shook his head. “He thinks I’m hiding Joanna from him or some shit.”Gavin pushed Holden’s chin up and to the side, inspecting him. “Is this the worst of it or is there more hiding under your clothes?”Holden caught Gavin’s hands and held them trapped within his own. “I’m fine. He caught me by surprise when I was leaving, shoved me into the building, and got off one sucker punch. Believe me, he looks worse than I do.”“That’s better than nothing, I guess.” Gavin looked down at their clasped hands. “Your knuckles are a mess. Go wash up and I’ll come in and put some antiseptic on them.”“Yes, Mom.” Holden brought Gavin’s hands up to his mouth, kissed, and released them. He stopped next to Stella and smiled at her. “Hey, pretty lady. I’m glad you’re here. Just let me scrub off the day and I’ll greet you properly.”“Go look after yourself. I’ll be here when you’re finished.” Stella patted him on the butt.“Hey now,” Holden said. “No getting fresh until I can do something about it.”Stella grinned at him. “Don’t worry. There’s a lot more where that came from.”“I’ll hold you to that,” Holden said over his shoulder as he walked out of the room.

From FLESH - May I just say your ass is....divine - on WIP it Up Wednesday #Wipitup

Scene set - Flame and Peyton have finally met in a diner at 2 a.m. She just admitted someone stole the $50 tip he have her.
The warmth from the concern in his voice and the heat of his flesh on hers intensified the flutter in her belly. Her bottom lip trembled as she lifted her face. "Somebody stole it out of my purse at the club. There's no place to lock anything away. And usually tips are… well, they suck."Anger filled his eyes. In a moment, she recognized a passion for justice in him. His brow creased and his gaze shifted as if he were debating something. "If I'd had a million dollars in my wallet, I'd have stuffed it in your bra."She glanced down at her chest. "Well, then for a few minutes I'd have had big boobs.""From what I saw at the club, they're perfect. And enticing."She sniffed. "It was such a generous gift, and I feel stupidly horrible for losing it."He edged forward on his seat and cupped her hands in his. "Never let the meanest of others make you demean yourself like that. In the few moments I've had the pleasure of sitting here, I can see you're a kind, compassionate, caring woman. Your eyes are hiding a secret, and I can guess it has a lot to do with the situation you're in."A single tear trickled down her right cheek. "I don't care if that's a line. That's the sweetest thing anyone has ever said."Big Tipper scooted around the table, sat next to her, and wrapped her in his arms. "A woman like you should never be sad."Flame rested her head on his chest. Oh, to be able to rest here for days. The fears and stresses of her life shielded by his protective embrace. She lifted her face. Her mouth brushed his bottom lip. She trembled. He pulled her closer. Her heart thumped in her chest. Her gaze matched his. She couldn't look away. Edging an inch closer, she parted her lips. He needed no more encouragement. One hand on the back of her head and the other holding her tight, his mouth found hers.A hunger exploded inside. She pressed her mouth on his, urging him to kiss her harder. She needed to be consumed. Her pussy ached with longing. Her nipples pressed against the rough sweatshirt. His firmness crushed against her belly. A question formed in the back of her mind. A giggle erupted from her throat. They broke apart.His gaze twinkled as he glanced down at her belly. "I'm supposed to be the one long and hard." He tapped her kangaroo pouch. "What's that?"She placed a hand over her mouth to cover a snicker. "My can of pepper spray. I don't live in the safest of neighborhoods."He tossed his head back and released a loud laugh. "Whew! I was worried you were one of those cross dressers. Which had me confused, because I pretty much memorized every inch of exposed flesh on you at the club. May I just say, your ass is… divine." He brushed a finger across her bottom lip. "And I mean that in the most polite and erotic way imaginable."

About the Authors

Jessica Jayne is a born and raised small town Ohio girl, who moved to the Sunshine State after graduating from college. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in English because she could not imagine doing anything else but reading and writing. In the journey of life, she obtained her law degree (and bar license) and also became a wife and a mother of three children. So, life is always an adventure.
She loves to read and write... obviously! She’s a huge sports fan, especially college football and The Ohio State Buckeyes! Go Steelers! Go Rays! Go Lightning! She LOVES to travel... LOVES, LOVES, LOVES to travel. She loves to drink coffee in the morning and tea at night! She loves a good glass of wine, especially if it comes from a bottle made by the FOOLS wine club… yep, she’s a founding member of that crazy group! She loves hanging out with her family and friends! Music makes her happy. She’s a mix between country girl and city chic. She’s a sucker for a cowboy hat!

Lea Bronsen likes her reads fast, hot, and edgy, and strives to give her own stories the same intensity. After venturing into dirty inner-city crime drama with her debut novel Wild Hearted, she divides her writing time between psychological thriller, romantic suspense, and erotic contemporary romance.

From writing ‘every girl’s dream heroes’ to ‘strong, down-to-earth heroines,’ Cait Jarrod twists ‘cliff hanging plots’ and ‘clever, unpredictable sub-plots’. She loves diving into a good book as much as she loves writing one. Mother of three gorgeous daughters, she’s married to her best friend, hangs out with a great group of women—the WWC, and loves a good glass of wine.

DC Stone has over sixteen years of investigative experience, including working as a criminal investigator in the United States military and a private investigator. Currently, she works as an internal affairs investigator by day and a romantic suspense author by night. She has her Master’s degree in Criminal Justice and is dubbed, “The Investigative Whisperer.” Commonly called upon to act as an expert witness, she also trains with local, state, and federal law enforcement officers. She provides numerous workshops that help authors gain insight into “digging” into a character’s mind to better understand motives, create suspense, and help maintain conflict. When she isn’t trying to solve a new puzzle in the world of fraud, she is engulfed with coffee, her laptop, and all those crazy characters in her head. She is a member of the Romance Writers of America, Hudson Valley Romance Writers, Rom Vets, RWA Kiss of Death, and the Liberty State Fiction Writers. She served as the 2014 Vice President and Conference Chair for NJRW.

Excerpt from Lea Bronsen's story Live:
"Hey, watch out!" a male voice called.Holy… She nearly jumped out of her skin. Pulse beating at a frantic pace, she ducked until the water covered her breasts…and slowly, methodically, scanned her surroundings.There. On the other side of the pond, about three hundred feet from her bag, a shirtless guy wearing a cap sat on the shore with his back against a tree. Looking at her.Shit. He had toned muscles and unusually dark skin for a blue-eyed man, making his clear gaze stand out like flashlights in his bearded face. An outdoors guy. Had he observed her the whole time? "That place is dangerous!" He pointed a few feet ahead of her. "You don't wanna get your feet stuck.""Oh, I know," she called back. He wasn't telling her anything new. "Yeah?" His tone said he didn't believe her. Understandable, with her toe still dipped in the mud. "Yeah." She pulled her toe out with a silent pop. "How?"As if she needed to explain. "I used to live here.""Uh-huh? What's your name?" Damn, what a busybody. She frowned. What a weird conversation to have with a stranger. Her business was none of his. Shrugging him off, she spun in the water and swam toward her bag. In the corner of her eye, the guy stood and walked along the shore, in the same direction as she swam. Fuck. Her heart hammered in her chest. What were his intentions? Did he have the potential to hurt her?Of course, he was faster. When he reached her bag, she was still fifty feet away. She slowed, treading the water with her chin lifted. "What do you want?""Pretty girls shouldn't be alone in the woods."Though her instincts warned to be careful, she swam closer and sent him a hard look. It would take more to frighten her. Living on the street, she'd seen it all. She sniggered. "If you're planning on hurting me, I've already been raped front, back, mouth, every orifice you can think of. I'm beyond caring." That should shut him up. Who would want to further damage a wreck? Except she wasn't a wreck. The rape didn't break her, neither did the amount of chemicals she had absorbed over the years. Nothing could. Her toes touched hard ground. She moved a little farther, arms flapping, until she could stand on her feet. He stared at her, clear blue eyes beneath the gray cap scrutinizing and thoughtful. She'd seen eyes like that before, but couldn't place them. He sat next to her bag, his gaze sweeping the grass around him. "Where's your towel?"She stepped forward until the water sank to chest level. "Don’t have one. Now, go away. Leave me alone." If he thought he was in for a nude show, he had to think again."What if I don't want to?" Brows lifted in nonchalance, he picked a grass straw and placed it between his white teeth, flashing them to her with a teasing grin. "This is my forest. You'll have to make me go away." He used good-natured humor, so he was a teaser, maybe not the kind of guy who'd hurt her. "Oh, your forest?" His smile widened. She shook her head. "At least, look away." Covering her breasts with an arm and her pubic area with the free hand, she treaded toward the shore. He did look away—into her duffel bag. "What's this?" Before she could react, his hand dove into the bag, rummaged inside, and brought out her colorful diary.Oh, no. Her heart made a giant leap. He would discover the most intimate, sacred part of her.She waded faster, water rushing like small torrents around her waist. Her breath picked up from the efforts.Grinning again, he waved it in the air. "Bringing Christmas presents to the picnic, are we?" Fuck him. "Don't touch that!" She stepped closer. The water reached her knees and splashed around."What is it?" He opened the first page, feigning deep concentration, then looked up. "What are these things? What're you keeping them for?""Stop! It's personal." His brows lifted. "It is? How interesting." With a chuckle, he stood and took a few steps backward while demonstratively turning page after page. What an asshole. She hated giving the impression she was desperate, but fuck if she'd allow a perfect stranger to read her diary. Still covering herself, she reached the shore and sprang out of the pond, water running down her naked body in rivulets. He turned another page and squinted as if unable to see well. Breathless, she hurried around her open bag and stopped in front of him. He seemed harmless, but she was so pissed and shocked, she could barely speak. "Give—it—to—me!"He stood a head taller than her and twice her size in width. Limpid blue eyes gleamed beneath the cap. Chewing on his grass straw, he gave her a once-over and grinned. "You want it?""Y-yes." Cool water drops prickled from her hair and landed on her skin, sending a shiver up her spine. "F-fuck-h-ead."Holding her gaze, he closed the notebook with a bang and held it out to her. Oops. In her hurry, she'd forgotten one vital thing. How was she going to take the damn thing when she needed both hands to cover her body?He smirked. "Problem?"

Brac—"The plane dropped and shuddered.

It was a story that left you angry, sad, plus hot and bothered - Capri's Fate on My Sexy Saturday #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSS103

For my sexy post this week - a hot snippet from Capri's Fate.
Scene set- Capri went to a sex toy convention and a voice followed her home. Think you're confused - poor Capri. Now, the voice is getting sexy.
WARNING- sexual content.
The arousal gel poured itself over my upper thighs as strong fingertips raked the insides, forcing my legs apart. Arousing was so the wrong term for the lubricant. Fire would be a more apt description. I've been cooler after a tough hour of hot yoga class.
Sweat rolled in streams from me, yet all I did was rest on silk pillows having my nipples erotically zapped. I pulled my knees up and let them fall. I was fully exposed, and horny as hell. I wanted to be fucked. Needed to be fucked.The bottle of warming gel flipped pouring liquid heat down my crotch. My glass penis hung, head down, aimed between my legs."Do you want it?"I groaned."Do you want it inside you—mercilessly driving you to a screaming orgasm?”Do the Fates understand the term – duh!

Erotic contemporary fantasy
Blurb
What's a woman to do when a voice follows her home and makes mad, passionate love to her?
Corporate business woman, Capricious Gray, is dragged to a sex toy convention by her best friend. Once a shocking, mysterious disembodied voice helps her with her purchases, it follows her home. Passion ensues, leaving Capri torn between lust for her fantasy lover and the desperate need for reality in her life.
Thall, son of one of the Fates, harbors the irrepressible need to be with the woman he's desired from afar for years. In order to make her his, once and for all, he must help Capri get past her fears, including the fear of what he represents - a fantasy.
Can fantasy become a reality for these two lovers?
