Tattoo Tuesday: Thomas Yarborough #tattootuesday #sexytats
Welcome
Thomas Yarborough
to Tattoo Tuesday
Give me four sentences that sum you up: what you do, who you are, where you've been...
My name is Thomas, I am a personal trainer in Ft. Lauderdale, Fl . I've lived in Florida my 37 years but was born in North Carolina.
What was your first tattoo? Does it have meaning to you?
My first tattoo was a tribal band only right shoulder, 1993. Has absolutely no meaning to me, I just thought it looked cool at the time.
Do you have any that you regret getting?
I have none that I regret, they are my memories.
If you had to pick a favorite piece of ink, which would it be and why?
My favorite piece is my rib cage, it's psalms 22:1
Do you have more tats planned?
I have no other tattoos planned, I haven't had one since 2008
Do you buy into tattoos being addictive once you start getting them?
Yes I know they are addictive, it is rare you see a person with just one.
What's your life plans for the immediate future? Long-term?
Right now I just relocated to Ft Lauderdale from Tampa and working at Eli's Fitness Studio personal training. I also just signed with Posche Models International. My long term goal is to own a house here near the beach and a house in the mountains.
What's something about yourself that most people don't know?
Most people don't know I have tattoos, they all are covered with a t shirt.
If you were a superhero, what would your power be? Your weakness?
If I were a superhero I'd definitely have the X-ray vision.
My weakness? Who wants that? Peanut M&M's? Next question.
Favorite TV show or station?
Science channel Thru the wormhole with Morgan Freeman
What's your 'go to' comfort item (food, place, drink, etc)?
Cheesecake:)
If there were no $ or time limitations, where would you be right now and what would you be doing?
If there were no money or time? With my family in the Caribbean living life without worry.
Do you enjoy reading? Who's your fav author, or your fav type of book (suspense, mystery, biography, paranormal, etc)?
I was never a big reader, I fall asleep. I stick to newspapers and mags.

Hearts on Fire Valentines Hop #giveaway #bloghop
Welcome to the Hearts on Fire Valentine Hop!I've never been one to celebrate Valentine's Day with much more than a smirk. I know, cynical of me, but my husband and I have just decided that NOT trying to buy something for each other was actually better for our relationship. Now, don't read that and scoff, it's true. How often do people, usually women, complain the days after V-Day because their partner didn't get them enough, the right present, blah, blah, blah. So, we just decided NOT to get anything for each other. It works for us.This is NOT the type of Valentine's Day that my heroine had, though. In some respects Heather's night of kinky love with her husband is the type of V-Day I'd go for. Valentine Master is a short BDSM-lite story that I totally loved writing. Heather and Mick have been married for a while. She broaches the subject of being submissive and assumes their marriage is in the tank. Mick, the sneaky hubby that he is, takes her on a wild ride one Valentine's night.
I'm giving away an ebook copy of Valentine Master and a $10 GC to Amazon.

Blurb: Fired from her high-flying corporate job, marketing guru Rebecca Ford arrives in rural France for a period of rest and recuperation. Despite being prompted by her best friend, attracting a ‘French Darcy’ is a long way from her thoughts.
Before her feet touch the ground, she finds herself drawn to two men—the Vicomte de Bornay, a member of the French nobility who appeals to her desire for respect and status; and Marc Lambert, a good-looking street trader who both irritates and intrigues her in equal measure.The Vicomte makes his play and flatters her by asking for her professional help. The street trader ignores her ... at least for a while.
But then she finds that to choose between them involves more than her own happiness—other people’s livelihoods are at stake. She’s forced to reappraise what she wants from her life, and what she believes each man could give her.

Bio: For many years I’ve been living and working in England, first as a professor of English and American literature, then as an advertising copywriter and more recently as a business psychologist. In the last ten years I've returned to writing novels, which I first attempted when I was a very young twenty years of age. I’ve seen lots of life since then! I've published several novels under a different name in the last eight years or so, and then decided to turn my hand to a romance. Because I'm now living in France it seemed natural that 'A French Darcy' should take place there, in a region that I know well and love.

Blurb:Book one in the Love’s Defenders series.
When empath Gyda St. Germaine is rescued from a sex-trafficking ring, she vows vengeance on her tormentors. Aided by two distinct personalities who bolster her powers, she becomes a vigilante, hungry for revenge. Her path of retribution tosses her into the arms of an Order of Themis Siphon and her world is turned upside down. Fighting her past takes a backseat to her all-consuming desire for the man whose honor and sense of justice go against everything she believes.
The moment electricity manipulator Brit Harper stumbled across a feral woman with a bloody knife, his life changed. Black and white becomes gray as the scales of justice tip. Fascinated by her strength and the darkness in her eyes, he vows to teach her the true meaning of justice and help her explore the passion sizzling between them. But when the evil haunting Gyda’s dreams returns in the flesh, he’ll have to choose between his beliefs and the woman he loves.

Author Spotlight: Victoria Pinder's 'The Zoastra Affair' #blogtour #giveaway
Blurb:A hundred years from now, Earth has trading partners with alien beings, mostly humanoid. However, going into space brought forth an unknown enemy who attacks Earth at will.
The Zoastra is part of the Earthseekers, an organization originally designed to go into space. Its new mission is to find Earth’s enemies.
Ariel is stuck on a Victorian planet and steals Grace’s body and life to get off the planet. Grace must get her body back before Ariel bonds with Grace’s husband, Peter. Then there is Cross, the man on a mission to find those who killed his family. Ariel is attracted to Cross, but she’s stolen someone’s life.

Excerpt Ten:The mission was a colossal waste of time, not that he dared roll his eyes at the General. He’d do his job and when the time came, he’d kill every alien who’d attacked Earth. Cross had lost everyone he loved in a blink of an eye. Living meant he had one job, avenging his family.
He snorted in disgust. The Sheratons offered pleasure and pretty faces for others. Negotiating a trade agreement seemed pointless.
Glancing over to witness Peter and Grace holding hands, the tightness in his chest grew. Unlike him, they hadn’t lost anyone or anything in their lives. With a grim smile, he concluded it was nice to know that not all marriages ended in disaster, not like his.
Cross kept his tablet to his side, next to his gun. Checking the list for takeoff, he took it to the pilots.
They nodded before starting a second check while Cross waited. His father once pointed to the sky and told him, ‘focus, and learning how to trade with others, makes you more valuable. Less people want your head then.’
Harrumph.Trade hadn’t kept his father alive. Trade on this planet was stupid, but this mission with Sheratons should end in a few hours. Stupid assignment for his talent. He signed up for vengeance, yet on the human like history planet, they were here to trade.
His phaser holster should be out and locked on his unknown alien enemy. Here he would have nothing to shoot. When they returned to the Zoastra, he’d run the pilots through a training exercise.
As he rolled his eyes, Grace tentatively smiled. He’d get past this uneasy anticipation. General Aurelius kept his wits about him, and Cross respected the man’s intelligence. Soon enough, he’d find the faceless cowards who’d murdered his entire family.

Bio:Victoria Pinder grew up in Irish Catholic Boston before moving to the Miami sun. She’s worked in engineering, after passing many tests proving how easy Math came to her. Then hating her life at the age of twenty four, she decided to go to law school. Four years later, after passing the bar and practicing very little, she realized that she hates the practice of law. She refused to one day turn 50 and realize she had nothing but her career and hours at a desk. After realizing she needed change, she became a high school teacher. Teaching is rewarding, but writing is a passion.During all this time, she always wrote stories to entertain herself or calm down. Her parents are practical minded people demanding a job, and Victoria spent too many years living other people’s dreams, but when she sat down to see what skill she had that matched what she enjoyed doing, writing became so obvious. The middle school year book when someone wrote in it that one day she’d be a writer made sense when she turned thirty.When she woke up to what she wanted, the dream of writing became so obvious. She dreams of writing professionally, where her barista can make her coffee and a walk on the beach, can motivate her tales. Contemporary romances are just fun to write. She’s always thinking whose getting hurt and whose story is next on the list to fall in love.

#FBF Flashback Friday: Another Taste of Destiny ~ #eroticshortstory
Welcome to Flashback Friday!
Another Taste of Destiny ~ Not your average erotic romance short story...
Joe’s marriage is on the rocks. His wife has even seen a lawyer. So it’s the worst possible time for a brassy hooker to walk into his life and send him reeling with lust. After a quick-and-dirty encounter in a men’s bathroom, Joe is hard pressed to think about anything but her. Destiny. His Destiny.
He has to see her again…and again. Will Destiny be the final nail in his marriage’s coffin? Or might giving in to his darkest, most depraved desires be the only way to save it?
Snippet: Tonight she was dressed in a brilliant-blue lace bra that was completely visible through a sheer black shirt. The top three buttons were undone, allowing the bra to shine in all its iridescent glory. She had on a black skin-tight skirt that barely covered the apex of her thighs. Her heels were the same color as her bra and made him want to groan. He had a quick flash of her wrapping those long legs around his back, heels digging into the muscles of his ass as he pounded into her.
He sat, riveted by her walk. She moved like a runway model or a predator, strolling toward him with purpose and control. His palms started to sweat as she neared the table. Was he really going to go through with this? The money sitting in his pocket gave him his answer, a resounding “yes”.
“Hey, hon. Didn’t think I’d see you again. You waitin’ for your wife again?” She leaned toward him when she reached the table and dropped her voice. “Or did you come to see me again?”
The view of her tits from his seat was mesmerizing. They threatened to spill from the blue cups with each breath she took. He hoped with each inhale that one would fall out of its little nest, giving him the glimpse he so wanted. He had dreamed of her all week, but it was her nipples that had so fascinated him. The dark-pink he had caught a peek of last time had tantalized him, taunted his imagination. Tonight he wanted to see them in their full glory, puckered and aroused.
He looked up into those captivating eyes. “I came to see you.”
“Well. Ain’t that interesting. We moving to the bathrooms again or you have something more in mind?” She raised an eyebrow in question. She smoothed a hand over his shoulder and down his back. The other was drawing tight circles in the water ring left from his drink on the table.
He cleared his throat. It was now or never. “I have money for more. Where do you usually go?”
