Frustration edged with fear mixed with desperation from Brace For Impact on Friday Snippets #FridaySnippets #CrashingIntoLove

From the 5 star reviewed box set - Crashing Into Love.........


Scene set - Guy jumps onto the evacuation chute to escape the sinking airplane.




Hitching his backpack around his neck, he kicked his legs and swung his arms. The lifejacket hampered a smooth swimming stroke. Where was he headed? He had no clue. He prayed it wasn't further out to sea. Instinct directed him and he followed it.With no sense of where he was or any sensation of momentum, Guy pushed onward, telling his aching arms to keep driving forward. Forward there was hope. Floating in the middle of the ocean was certain death. He didn't want to die. He had a job to finish first. A wrong to cleanse off the world. He swung his arms, trying to propel himself away from the plane and closer to safety. Water splashed into his face. The salt stung his eyes. He spit out mouthfuls of seawater. Every time he tried to inhale, a wave slapped him in the face.Frustration edged with fear mixed with desperation. He kicked harder. His legs flailed in the water. A cold object bumped his arm. Guy's heart raced into overdrive. A shark? He stopped moving. Splashing about, looking like a sea lion, would only intrigue a hungry predator. His heart pounded in his chest as he slowly tread water. The object bumped his shoulder.

***** Loved Each Story!!By H34me on June 16, 2015
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!

Lisa Kumar's Crashing Into You from the Crashing Into Love box set #CrashingIntoLove

Blurb:
When Ashlee Trent meets handsome businessman Kaiden West on a plane to Australia, he eases her fears even as he sets her heart ablaze. But after their plane crashes into the ocean and they wash ashore, will the secrets surrounding him send their budding relationship into a nosedive?

Excerpt:
Realization hit her like a rock. The guy still holding onto her shoulder—and looking at her like she was insane—was Kaiden West. He was the proud owner of a billion-dollar multi-media company that had its fingers into everything. Magazines, newspapers, film, and advertising were some of the cherries in his pie. And he was plastered on all the outlets he didn’t own. Ashlee blinked. Maybe she was experiencing a break from reality. Not unheard of. Eddie, her latest schizophrenic child, had nothing on her today. But no, he was still standing before her in this very plane, touching her shoulder! Which begged the question of why he was on said plane and touching said shoulder.“I believe we’re blocking the aisle. May I help you to your seat?”His eyes glittered so prettily and— The actual meaning of his words pierced her addled-mind. Huh? Seat? She nodded. He could help her to wherever he wanted.“I’m afraid I don’t know your seat number. Can you tell me it, or at least show me your boarding pass?”Mortification burned through her. He thought she couldn’t talk? She shoved the crumpled pass at him as she forced her tongue into some kind of working order. “Here,” she rasped.He barely lifted an arched brow over her oddness and guided her toward her seat. The crowd parted before him as if he were Moses. Oh, wait, he was. Moses of the media world at least.Ashlee stood in front of her seat but didn’t sit. At over six foot three, he didn’t need that extra advantage. She was uncomfortable enough. Why was he even helping her? After a second’s thought, she found she didn’t care. Though it may be stupid and reckless of her, it only mattered that he was by her side. As she worked up the courage to thank him, he reached for her carry-on.With surprising gentleness, he pulled the bag toward him, so she released her death grip on it. He flashed her a smile that sent the butterflies into her throat before he deposited the bag into the overhead bin. She swallowed to get some moisture back into her Sahara-like mouth. “Thank you. For your help.”“It was my pleasure.”A warm heat stole through her. What was he doing to her?His blue gaze swept over her, and he opened his mouth as if to say something more. But he inclined his head and headed toward the front again.

Lisa’s Bio:
I’m a wife, mother, and romance writer who grew up in small-town Indiana. I now reside in the suburbs of Chicago with my husband and two sons. When not spinning tales of romance and fantasy, I can be found with my nose buried in a book or, more accurately, my e-reader. My scholastic background is in psychology, which enabled me to get low-paying jobs in the human-services sector. Needless to say, I’m now writing full-time.

Something finally goes right for Flame on Wip It Up Wednesday #Wipitup

Scene Set- After Peyton gave Flame a $50 tip, she nicknamed him - Big Tipper. Someone stole her big tip. She has gone to a late night diner for something to eat and the creep - Baseball Cap Guy is blocking her way into the diner. She's rejected his offer of a coffee.



She inched around him, pressed up against the doorframe, trying not to touch him or breathe a single air molecule that had been in him.He stumbled forward. "Why not? Whas the matter with me?""It's two in the morning. I don't drink coffee this late."She glanced at the owner and hurried to a booth. The owner stepped around the counter and shooed the annoyance out the door. His son, Alex, held a menu. "Same as usual?"She nodded and Alex returned to the kitchen. Once settled, she closed her eyes and inhaled a few deep breaths. One helluva crappy night. Could it get any worse? She opened her eyes and blinked. The man in the booth across from her seemed familiar. She frowned as she tried to place him.A flutter in her belly and a clench in her pussy told her that her had body guessed who it was before she did.Big Tipper.She smiled. His face wore the same surprised look she assumed was on hers. He grinned back and tilted his head toward her booth. She nodded, fighting down a teenage urge to giggle hysterically as he settled across from her. He had to be a bit over six feet tall and maybe a year older than her. Short dark hair topped a scruffy unshaven chin. A quick check of his left hand showed no wedding band or tan line."Can I say? Or maybe, should I say, I'm not stalking you. This is a cool coincidence. When I left the club, I asked the cabbie where to get a late night snack, and he brought me here.""Cab 23?"Big Tipper nodded."That's Amando. He usually drives me here and then home."He raised an eyebrow. "Boyfriend?""No." Flame chuckled. "In every sense of the word. He's a friend, and I'm not seeing anyone at the moment."Waggling his eyebrows, Big Tipper said, "Well then, let me be thoroughly pushy and offer to buy you your late night feast. That way I can spend several more minutes in your company and tell you how stunning you are and how you so—" He visibly shivered. "How you just… just… I'm stuck.""Tell me I'm the sexiest thing you've ever seen on stage and you can buy me dinner." It wouldn't make up for the loss of the tip, but every penny she could avoid spending was a bonus."I've been to a lot of strip clubs and you were the first… I mean the first, who's riveted my attention. The second I spotted you, I… uh… well you can figure that out." His smile stretched from his full lips and seemed to reach up to the corner of his light blue eyes.Her finger twitched, wanting to trace the small scar on his chin. "I'd like to thank you for the generous tip." She fought back a sob, and then peered at her hands, looking for some way to hide the tears threatening to spill.He reached his hand out and placed it on hers. "What's wrong?" His gaze caressed her face.

Excerpt: If I closed my eyes really hard, I could remember Isabel as she was on the morning before I left for this tour. I could smell her scent; see the curves of her back. On that morning so many months ago, I left her asleep, lying on our king-sized bed. The sheets were torn from their normally precisely tucked corner. The blanket lay in a pile on the floor, our pillows snug against her perfect body.

That previous night, after a home-cooked dinner, our passion had been insatiable. As though it was the first time or maybe the last time we would ever make love. After dinner, which was perfectly prepared but barely eaten, Isabel stood from the table. The dining room was only lit by candlelight, but as she walked into the brighter light of the kitchen, I noticed the dress she was wearing was basically see-through. The fabric seemed to glisten in a magical color scheme that shimmered from black to blue. As the candles flickered across on her chest, I thought I could catch a glimpse of her darker brown nipples. Maybe an illusion, maybe my imagination, but it sparked a feeling deep inside that was undeniable. It was difficult to concentrate on the meal with my erection was almost bursting the fly of my light tropical-wear trousers. Autumn in Miami was still hot, and Isabel was never one to use air-conditioning, she always said she preferred to feel the warm ocean breeze and the smell of the salty air. The heat of the night made the silky material of her dress stick to her curves like a grape skin over its juicy fruit.

Isabel came back into the dining room holding a bottle of wine, a gift saved for a special occasion. It was already open, and she handed me a fresh wine glass. She poured the wine first in my glass then in hers. I sat in my chair, watching her, slowly, delicately, not spilling a precious drop. I dared not move. She was enchanting, a beauty beyond imagination.

When she had finished, Isabel placed her glass on the table. She grasped the hand that held my glass and slowly moved it to my mouth. She manipulated my warrior’s hand like a puppeteer, directing my movements, turning my hand ever so slightly so the grape nectar could dribble into my mouth. A mere drop of wine ran down my lip and onto my cleanly shaven chin.

With the speed of a viper, Isabel bent toward my face and gently kissed the spot that held the spilled wine. She kissed it again and tipped the wine glass, still grasped in my hand, over into my mouth. As it filled my mouth, she kissed me hard, sharing the contents of my mouth between the two of us.

About the Author: Abigail Lee Justice writes emotional, erotic, romantic suspense that includes a BDSM theme. She creates strong characters who seem real but are flawed in some ways; some couples Happily Ever After will be a work in process. Some characters’ problems are just too steamy to fix in one book.

 Born and raised in Baltimore City by two wonderful, supportive, loving parents, as a child Abigail made up vivid stories in her head. Until one day a friend told her instead of keeping her stories locked in her head she needed to put them on paper and that’s exactly what she did.

 Abigail met her husband 29 years ago on a blind date (thanks Dan C.) while working a part time job to put herself through college. She fell madly in love with her Prince Charming and has been since the first day they met.

 By day, Abigail practices medicine in a busy Cardiologist practice. By evening she switches her white coat for more relaxed comfortable clothing. She has two wonderful adult sons and a very spoiled chocolate lab. In the wee hours of the night, she writes BDSM romances.

 In her spare time when not working or writing, Abigail enjoys reading, concocting vegetarian dishes, exotic vacations, scuba diving, high adventure activities, living in the lifestyle she writes about, and doing lots and lots of research making sure her characters get it just right.

“There's no one around." He stepped closer and placed his mouth by her ear. "My intentions are not honorable. I loved what happened last night. You were incredible. So free in the giving of yourself and letting me explore you."He brushed his lips across her ear and whispered, "I want more."

From Brace for Impact - For Guy - One problem solved and another pops up on Friday Snippets - #FridaySnippets #CrashingIntoLove

From the exciting new box set - Crashing Into Love........



Scene set - Guy and a fellow passenger have rescued Lori, but another problem develops.



Water filled Guy's eyes and mouth. His heart pounded in his throat. He kicked against the man and freed his leg. Struggling with the weight of the attendant, he stood, flipped her over his shoulder and reached down to help his rescuer. He tugged at the man's collar. The man bobbed on the water. Guy frowned. He hauled the man upright and leaned him against a chair. The water rose to his mid-chest. "I'll be right back."Stumbling, Guy worked his way around the man and to the aft wing emergency exit. "Give her here," a voice called out. Guy slipped Lori off his shoulder and handed her to a flight attendant at the exit. He turned. The man grabbed his arm. "No. Don't go back. She's gonna sink. Any second. Get yourself out.""No. There's a man…back there. He pulled me out of the water." Guy half swam half walked back through the dark.Holding on to the arm rests and chair backs with his left hand, he swung his right hand out before him, searching for his rescuer. His hand touched a cold cheek. He flinched. No. Don't be dead. He knelt next to the man, placed a hand on his neck and waited. No pulse. Foutre.He tugged at the body, unwedging it from between the seats. It floated. He gripped the collar and led it down the aisle. At the exit, the attendant stared past Guy. "Is he..?"Guy nodded. "I think so. But I'm not a doctor.""Leave him here. There's a doctor looking after the…injured.  I'll see to—"The ear splitting screech of metal being ripped filled the cabin. A wave sloshed water into the plane. Guy swung his backpack to his chest, wrapped his arms around it and jumped on the evacuation chute. The rough seas swallowed him. He bobbed to the surface, grabbed the life vest's inflation nozzle and inhaled. A few deep breaths inflated his lifejacket. He kicked away from the chute. Through the inky dark of the night, he could make out nothing, but in the distance he heard calls and cries.

Spotlight on new release from Melody Parks - Claiming Crystal

Blurb -

After her fear of commitment brings an abrupt end to yet another relationship, Crystal Harman knows she is in desperate need of a major change in her life. With the help of her best friend, that change comes in the form of Donaven Sharp, the ruggedly gorgeous owner of a remote mountain retreat called Cobalt Canyon.
Donaven soon realizes that what Crystal has needed for a long time is a dominant man to spank her properly and take control both in and out of the bedroom, and he doesn’t hesitate to put her over his knee for her first bare-bottom spanking. Though it leaves her blushing, Donaven’s mastery of her body also leaves Crystal all but trembling with desire, and his forceful, demanding lovemaking brings her pleasure like nothing she has ever experienced before.
Donaven is everything she’s ever wanted in a man—someone who will both take care of her and discipline her when she needs it—but Crystal struggles to reconcile her yearning to submit to him with the demands of her career as a social worker protecting vulnerable women. When tragedy strikes one of her clients and guilt sends her life into a tailspin, can Donaven prove to Crystal that they have a future together and she belongs not only in his bed but also at his side?
Publisher’s Note: Claiming Crystal is an erotic romance novel that contains spankings, sexual scenes, anal play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.


Claiming Crystal Snippet:“Crystal.” He put a hand over hers, settling her drumming fingers. “There is nothing wrong with accepting the fact that you’re human. That your submissive desires are real and those kinky fantasies are your way of dealing with what you won’t allow yourself to experience because you’re under the impression it’s wrong and makes you a bad person. But I’ll tell you something. Until you accept yourself and your desires, you’re not going to be happy.”“Who says I’m not happy?” she replied, giving him a quizzical look.“Let’s play a game,” he said suggestively, a sly smile on his lips. “Truth or dare. If you pick truth and refuse to answer, you get a playful swat on that sexy bottom of yours with my hand. If you pick dare and refuse to follow through, same result.”Her eyes widened for a second, obviously shocked by his proposal, but he could tell she was thinking about it. “And you?” she asked, her voice tense. “If you refuse to answer or take the dare? Do I get to spank you?”He couldn’t help letting out a hearty laugh at the thought of her tiny hand connecting with his butt. “I don’t think you spanking me will have much of an effect, my dear. How about if I refuse, the game is over, we call it a night and both go to our separate beds.”She took another slow sip from her mug and set it down. “Fine, but I get to go first.”“Deal, fire away. I pick dare.” He could tell by the look on her face, she’d been hoping for truth.Putting a knuckle against her lower lip, she looked around the kitchen as if searching for the answer. Probably going to dare me to eat something nasty, he thought as he watched her think.A shrewd smile enveloped her lips as she slowly looked up at him, a satisfied gleam in her eyes. “I dare you to update your Facebook status to ‘Proud Servant of Xena, Warrior Princess’ and leave it that way for twenty-four hours without responding to any comments.” She looked over at his cell phone on the counter, then back at him, her indication clear as she smirked at his immediate reaction.For fuck’s sake, whatever happened to daring someone to run around outside naked, or act like a dog, crawling around barking, or if you were bold and had the hots for someone, you dared them to kiss you? Which were his intentions exactly if she chose dare. Buy Links: Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Claiming-Crystal-Melody-Parks-ebook/dp/B011VK1JBQ

And it just keeps getting worse for Flame on Wip It Up Wednesday #wipitup

Scene Set - Flame received a $50 tip from Peyton. She stored it in her purse and had a shower after her shift ended. Someone stole it.


It took ten deep, soothing breaths to calm her body. The trembles subsided. The tears stopped. Her breathing returned to normal. Her gaze wandered around the empty dressing room and rested on a tube of scarlet lipstick. Without thinking beyond the moment, she grabbed the tube and scribbled on the wall: TO THE BITCH WHO STOLE MY $50. I HOPE YOU CHOKE ON IT.She grabbed her cell out of her purse, called a cab, and stormed out of the club. Glancing right and left, she checked and rechecked for lurkers. Drunk, horny patrons were a pain to get rid of at two in the morning. She patted the kangaroo pouch on her sweat shirt, checking for the can of pepper spray. Her personal security blanket. The cab arrived. She opened the door and dropped onto the seat. "Hey.""Hey." The cabbie looked in the mirror and smiled. "You've looked better.""Lousy night.""Diner?""Yes, please." Flame rested her head against the window and watched the street lights pass. In the confines of the cab, she knew she was safe. Amando always picked her up and either drove her home or for a late night snack. They weren't lovers, just friends. Amando was the only person who knew her secret, and after a year and a half, she trusted him to keep it to himself.The cab slowed and parked in front of Louie's All You Can Eat 24 Hours A Day diner. She paid him and left a small tip. "Like I said. Lousy night."Amando laughed. "For me too. I'll be listening for your pick up call.""Thanks." She slid out of the cab, walked to the diner, and pulled open the door. A horrid grinning face blocked her entrance.Baseball Cap Guy licked his lips. His breath reeked of beer and cigarette smoke. "I was hopin' you'd come. Can I buy ya a cuppa joe?" He smiled. Three teeth were missing.
