Ten Line Tuesday ~ Ten Lines from Savage Protector

This book just released today from AllRomance Ebooks and I can't be happier. (Okay, maybe if I didn't have a cold, THEN I'd be happier. Grin). I'd like to share ten lines of the story with you. Want a copy? Get yours here (and it's on sale!)

"Fuck." Pietro's voice strained and something cracked. The snapping of plastic split the air. "Shit. Almost there. Goddess." Pietro knelt next to Hans. "It worked. The collar is broken. Finally."

Broken? Little by little, Hans regained his senses. He touched the thick piece of plastic about his neck. He looked up into the bluest set of eyes he'd ever seen. Had Pietro always had such beautiful eyes?

"Here. I can remove it now." Cradling Hans between his legs, Pietro removed the collar. "There."

"You didn't have to." Hans rubbed the tender skin. Freedom. Having the collar off wasn't much, but he'd accept the small amount of liberty.

Pietro wrapped an arm around Hans and held him to his chest. "He beat you last year for escaping. You're going to have to really plan out your attack when you try to escape this time, or he'll beat you twice as hard. It's his game." He rubbed his cheek on the top of Hans' head. "I'm sorry."

Christmas is the time to come together -- with candy, shiny paper, and lots of white-hot sex.

Luc loves his role fronting the band Glow. He loves the adoration of the fans, the energy in the crowd, but it’s Christmas. No one likes a Christmas alone.

Taygan’s free spirit resists taming -- except when it comes to Luc. Luc’s one hundred percent human. Taygan is all air elemental. He needs his space and freedom, but he’ll do whatever it takes to make Luc happy, including giving up his space and freedom to make Luc’s holiday one he’ll never forget -- complete with the real Santa, peppermint candy, and lots of hot sex.

Available on sale here!

And now for that snog!

“Santa brought what I wanted.” Tears burned behind his eyes. “Don’t know how he knew, but he did.” Just don’t leave again.

“Are you glad?”

Luc shook his head. “Glad? I’m stupefied. I thought you were in Alaska learning to crab fish or whatever it was you were doing.”

“I learned. Sort of.” Tay shrugged. He’d have to work his ass off to make Luc see he wasn’t back on a fluke or because he got bored. “I got lonely and realized my element isn’t the only beacon in my life. I want to be wherever you are.”

“But --”

Tay couldn’t help himself and bridged the gap between them. He placed the box in Luc’s hands and pressed a kiss to his lips. The scratch of Luc’s stubble bit into Tay’s cheek, and he loved every moment of it. He licked the seam of Luc’s mouth, needing more from Luc. Luc tensed, then placed his hand on Tay’s hip, drawing him closer. He sighed, allowing Tay deeper. Taygan groaned. Luc tasted of man, spice and sweat, the perfect combination.

Luc broke the kiss first. “Need you.”

“Yes.” In a blur, Taygan unzipped and yanked his pants to his ankles. He kicked out of his jeans and knelt on the bed. “Take what you want.”

Behind him, Luc growled. Open-handed, Luc placed three quick swats on Tay’s bare ass. “You always did like commando.”

“Free ballin’ means you get quicker access.” Tay wriggled his ass in an invitation. “Mark me. I can’t wait any longer.”

Under Review...A Dom For Christmas

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia...

Going out with Brad had been a very bad idea. Going to a BDSM club with the certifiable ass had been even worse. She was so sick to death of wanna-be gamma men trying to act all Dom. All she wanted to do was to get away and go home. However, getting out of the shackles was going to be tricky.

As soon as she walked through the door Ciro knew. This was not just some sub looking for a thrill. This woman was his. All he had to do was get her away from the jackass who though to master her… That and convince the beauty who had enraptured him to give herself to him. Good thing he was up for the challenge.

Available here!

And now for my review!!

Where can I find a Ciro of my own?

This isn't my first foray into the work of Marteeka Karland and Shara Azod. I know they write well. I know I'll be entertained and will come back for more. But, holy crab cakes Batman, this one smolders!

I have to admit, when I started reading I was sure I'd have to kick someone in the butt. I really hated the antagonist, Brad, from the first. He's a jerk and I wasn't sure how MaryBeth ended up with him. But, I liked the resolution. I totally rooted for her and Ciro.

Speaking of MaryBeth...I liked her. She had her flaws, yes, but she wasn't the typical give up all to the Dom sub. She had her own life. Yes, there were moments when she submitted, but she retained her own personality.

Then there was Ciro. I've already said I liked him. Phew! He's hot, controlled and totally concerned with her safety. Gotta give the man props. I also loved how he played with her. She was the center of his world. All men should be like that...their partner is the center of their world. The sex smoldered and I wanted more! So much more.

If you're wanting a hot read guaranteed to make you want that special someone to give you attention, then this is the book for you!

Under Review...The Office Christmas Party

http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia...

The problem with the big boss was he was just way too male. Too sexy. Too- everything! Shenice knew the enigmatic CEO was way outside her league and she would totally stop thinking about him. If only he would stop being so freaking hot!!!!

What Shenice didn’t know was she the sole reason Alistair couldn’t seem to get rid of the bulge in his pants. She was in his office giving him reports he could care less about was his growing infatuation, not because he cared about Midwest regional sales. If she licked those luscious lips at him one more time…

Office parties are often a time to let inhibitions go. This one was sure to explode!

Available here!

Now for my Review!!

Hot, hot, hot!

I love stories that get right to the point and don't mince words. This is one of those books. Ms. Azod and Ms. Karland get to the good part and I couldn't stop reading. The writing flows well and made me feel like I was right there in the action!

Shenice wants Alister. It's plain to see and man, does she fantasize about him. It's great. I felt like I was right there in her head and seeing him as she did. I liked her hesitance. She wanted to go for him, but the inevitable and understandable fear she'd be shot down was palpable. I rooted for her to either get her man! Who wouldn't?

Then there's Alister. Holy cow. What a hottie! I'd love one of him for my own. I liked how he made his moves. When he decided what to do, he went for it. So hot. The sex was electric and made me want to join in. I read and reread because I enjoyed playing the voyeur to their intimate acts.

If you want a hot story that's great for a lunch time read or right before bed to get the motor running, then this is the book for you!

Candy Cane Kink!

It's the time of year for kisses, hugs, presents and Kink! To celebrate the season, I'm sharing an excerpt from my latest release, Christmas Glow . And for kicks, you can win a copy of Wrapped Around , my first Christmas novella!

But let's not get ahead of ourselves. Here's a white hot excerpt from Christmas Glow . You can get your copy here!

Nitro clicked the keys to log out of the chat site. She hadn't showed. He'd waited for more than three hours for her. His dream girl. How crazy was that? She liked the same bands, could argue sports with ease and still fill out a miniskirt like no one's business. She'd snagged him with her name. Pixie. He loved the sound on his lips. What would it feel like to run his fingers through her dark hair or kiss her until she melted in his arms?

If his intuition proved right, being with her would be heaven on Earth. He glanced at the blackened screen once more. "Where are you, Pix?"

Not in the chat window. She'd mentioned something about working on Christmas Eve. Maybe that was the case. Hell if he knew. He closed the computer screen and rested his elbows on his knees. The last time he'd checked the clock, the time read just after five. Lots of folks worked until practically midnight on Christmas Eve. If he'd scored tickets to the Glow concert, he could've been there. No. He wanted to chat with his girl. To listen to her talk him into a frenzy. He palmed his crotch. Damn, she had a hold on him. He looked forward to the times they chatted and let things go too far. She embodied his vision of sex and sin. But she was an elf.

He had to be losing his mind. Who fell in love with elves? Part of him didn't want to admit the magical creatures existed. Sure, he'd heard rumors that Glow had elementals in the band, but elves? Next thing he knew there would be wolves and vampires roaming around. Besides, if Pixie was indeed an elf, then she was darned tall. He frowned and leaned back in his seat. How the hell should he know what an elf looked like? Children's books?

Nitro sighed. The sad little Christmas tree sat on the table like a tiny, multicolored lump. Too many lights on too little a tree. At least he had snow. He climbed out of the chair and stared out his apartment window. Tiny flakes of snow collected on the fire escape in puffs.

Something behind him clicked. He leaned back enough to check the computer screen. Still black. Then what the hell had clicked? He turned around. Nothing seemed out of place. Same tree, same fake snow encircling it. The clicking returned.

Nitro tipped his head. The clock? Nah, the clock had never been that loud. He crept to the apartment door. Someone leaving a Christmas card?

"He's probably not here," came a voice from on the other side of the door. Female, if Nitro had to guess, and darned familiar. Pixie? At his apartment? No freaking way. "You aren't trying hard enough. Don't you believe?" The male voice he couldn't place. "What's the hold-up?"

"I'm scared. What if he's not really interested? He could've lied."

Nitro placed his hand on the door. His other hand shook as he leaned forward to peek through the peephole. Sure enough, a raven-haired woman stood outside his door with someone else. His Pixie. He'd know her figure anywhere, but the guy? Nitro shook his head. Couldn't be. He looked again. Santa?

"He's not here." Pixie nodded. "He's with family or something."

What the hell was he waiting for? Nitro unlocked the door and practically yanked it off the hinges. "Pix?"

Pixie shoved a lock of hair from her eyes. "Nitro. Merry Christmas."

Whew! Now that you've read that, here's the prize! Comment with your name, email and something about the excerpt and you can win a copy of Wrapped Around . Yep, it's easy! Now comment, go forth and keep hopping! Merry Christmas!!

Football Quote of the Week

Courtesy of: http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Fil...

I've done these on my Wendi blog for a couple months now and thought I'd bring them over here, too. Why? I've got a football story in the works and these just fit. Enjoy!

You can't believe how big these linemen are and how Drew Brees manages to slide it in...

You can't believe how much I want to say I made that up. I didn't.

This one is from a coach!

It's intoxicating and makes them want to do it more and more... ~ Coach Pat Shurmur

He's talking about winning, but that's so open-ended, you can run in a LOT of directions with it.

I'm glad you're enjoying the Football Quotes. Tell your friends and enjoy!

Ten Line Tuesday!

I've got a couple of new works in the works, so here's ten lines from a yet, unnamed short story. Enjoy!

I can do this. Landon stepped into the light. He shucked his suit coat and rocked his hips. The clients wanted a man in business attire. Tearing away the button down shirt came next.

“Take it all off.” More hoots and clapping.

Landon’s eyes adjusted to the bright light and he froze. Ivan and Micah, the two vampires who’d tried to abduct his friend, Lucas. “What do you want from me?”

“To see your ass nude.” Micah folded his arms. “Like we hired you for.”

“Then we’re gonna fuck,” Ivan added. “Ready?”

Either dancing for them would be the craziest thing he could do, or lead to the hottest time of his life. He’d take both.

The Naughty List and Mychael Black's Epiphany!

The Naughty List is one of my favorite things because, well, I'm on it all the time. It also brings together some of my favorite authors. One of them being, enter fangirl moment, Mychael Black. Once Myc's books come out, I nab them and read them immediately. This year for the Santa's Helpers collection, Mychael wrote Epiphany and I've already read it. Loved it! Read on for a little bit about it then what I had to say about the book.

Kael Selwyn is absolutely sick and tired of Christmas. Like every other waiter in the city, he's had to endure mobs of hungry shoppers with lists miles long, more money than he makes in a month, and just barely enough manners to fill a thimble. Now his employer expects him to completely debase himself in an outfit ten sizes too small. But... a man -- even an elf -- has to eat, so he swallows the last vestiges of his pride and manages to wiggle into the costume.

Ryan Garrett loves Christmas, even if the crowds are a bit much. He ducks into a packed restaurant, hoping for a bit of reprieve from the traffic, and can't help but grin at the servers all dressed in costumes: women as Mrs. Claus (albeit sexy ones), and the guys dressed as elves. Everyone seems to be enjoying themselves... except for the snarly elf who shows up to take his dinner order.

By the time he hits dessert, Ryan has a plan: to show the gorgeous elven waiter that Christmas means a whole lot more than crowds and stress.

Now for that review!

Some books are like chocolate. One taste is never enough. Mychael Black's work is like that. Once I open the book, I have to keep reading. The email can ping, the facebook page make that strange noise, and I don't care. I don't hear it! I'm lost in the world, in this case, of Ryan and Kael. The writing flows well and I don't want to put the book down.

I admit, I wasn't sure I was going to like Kael at first glance. He seemed...grumpy. But there's a very good reason for this grumpiness - which I won't disclose - and as I got through the story, I came around to him. He's not a bad guy, just very Kael, if that makes sense.

Ryan, on the other hand, I wanted to gobble him up. He's my kind of hero--strong, handsome and devilish in the bedroom. Oh, and he's a sucker for Christmas. Score!

This story is erotic in nature, but the tenderness, the sweetness of love in first bloom totally shows through here. I felt for both men and rooted for them not only to get together, but to make things work right away. I would love to know what happens for them for New Years and beyond. The sex scenes scorch and yeah, I felt the love these two shared, even though I wasn't really in the room.

If you're in the mood for a white hot short story for the Christmas season, then pick up a copy of Epiphany. I recommend it!

One concert changed her mind, but can one night truly change her life?

Pixie Elf’s days of designing punk teddy bears just isn’t cutting it. She wants more, including the sexy radio jockey she met at a Glow concert. That is, if he’s up for grabs.

Nitro Hicks loves playing the latest rock tunes, but he can’t get a certain elf off his mind. Does he have what it takes to rock her world for the long haul?

Magic happens in the Christmas Glow.

And now for that Snog!“My Christmas wish was to spend it with you,” she murmured. She stared up at him with shining eyes. Brown and amber flecks glittered in the green orbs. “Merry Christmas?”

Her words sounded happy, but tension radiated from her. She licked her bottom lip, not in a sexual gesture. She lowered her head. “So this was a bad idea. I’m sorry. We’ve got great chemistry, and when we chat it’s like were not a zillion miles apart. It’s hot and seems right. Maybe I’m wrong.” She started to pull away from him, but Nitro slid his hand down her arm to link their fingers.

“I’m still getting over the shock.” He wrapped his free arm around her waist and tugged her to his chest. “Chat sessions, no matter how hot, do not compete with the real thing.” Nitro kissed her knuckles. “I wasn’t sure what I wanted for Christmas, but I’m pretty sure my wish came true, too.”

* * * *“I’m glad.” Well, glad until her time ran out. Pixie flattened her hands on his chest. His wish had come true. She couldn’t hold back the smile any longer. She pushed that thought aside. She’d worry about the deadline later.

“This sounds crazy, but I’ve dreamt of this moment.” Nitro cupped her cheek. “More nights than I care to admit.” He lowered his lips to hers.

Pixie huddled against him and melted into his kiss. Sparks shot along her nerve endings. Heat from his touch seared her from within. She inched closer to him and raked her fingers down his back. A whimper escaped her lips.

Nitro swallowed the whimper but broke their connection first. He rested his forehead on hers. A thin band of brown ringed the black in his eyes. Pink tinged his cheeks. “I want to strip you down and learn every inch of you.”
