She turned and unlocked the door and opened it. She turned back to him and reached up and gently touched his cheek.“Come inside,” she whispered again.He didn't know if it was her touch, the sound of her gentle coaxing voice, or a combination of both, but the last of his resistance snapped.“Cassy...” His mouth covered hers and he pulled her body close to hers. She wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him inside the house. Once he was over the threshold, he kicked the door closed with a very definitive slam.
To read the full scene, check it out exclusively on my friend and author Chelle Ramsey's blog here!

Enjoy!
He imitated the intimate things he wanted to do to her with his tongue. Their bodies seemed to cling to each other in their wet clothes. He began to trail hot kisses down her throat. “What do you want Miranda?” he asked hoarsely. “You,” she whispered. “What do you want from me?” “I want you to make love to me.”
About the book:
Miranda Parker has a strict rule when it comes to dating in the workplace-completely off limits. But when Spencer Gray arrives as her new boss, she is tempted more than ever to break that rule. But she is determined to stay strong.
Spencer Gray has just inherited his uncle's media company. He is grieving, and meeting Miranda Parker is a welcome distraction. But he has to convince her to take chance.
Taking Chances is available on Amazon.

#SexySnippet Sunday!
Today's #SexySnippet is going back to the beginning!
Seven lines from my first novel, Dream Lover.
Here we go!
He wrapped an arm around her, crushing her to him while he propped his other arm against the wall. They quickly came out of their haze of passion when the bell of the elevator alerted them that they'd reached her floor. She pulled away and straightened her dress. The doors slowly opened and she began to walk out. He grabbed her wrist and pulled her back in. He pushed the button to close the elevator doors then punched the stop switch, trapping them inside. He ran his hands through her hair and pulled her mouth up to his again.
About the book: John and Liz have been best friends for years. Liz is content for things to stay just the way they are. But John's feelings for Liz begin to grow beyond a platonic friendship.
Can he convince Liz to open her eyes and her heart to the beauty of what could be?
I hope you enjoyed it!

#SexySnippet Sunday
Hey all!
Today I'm sharing with you a tiny excerpt from my current book, After the Storm! Sexy Snippets are just seven sentences from a book. I hope you enjoy these!
“You know,” he continued to whisper in her ear. “You've been invading my dreams for quite some time now.”“Is that a fact?” she asked.“Yes, it is.”“And what am I doing in these dreams of yours?”“You let me taste more than your mouth,” he hinted seductively.She leaned back and looked into his eyes and his pulse quickened as he watched her eyes darkened with heated passion.
About the book:
Lila McAllister is exhausted. So much so that her grandfather insists for her to go on a sabbatical. She takes off from the big city, and the probing paparazzi, for some rest and relaxation in her family's home town of Galveston, Texas.
While there she meets Mixed Martial Arts fighter Zach Thomas, who is also taking a break from the world after his latest fight. A rocky first encounter, and even being stuck together in a hurricane can't seem to dim the passion igniting between these two. However, Zach quickly learns that winning Lila's heart may be his toughest fight yet.Pick up the book from Amazon!

Sunday Sample...After the Storm
Good Morning All!
Just wanted to share another sample from my latest book After the Storm! Enjoy....
Zach lay in his bed confused. It had been two days since he'd kissed Lila and she'd managed to avoid him, even though they were trapped in a house during a hurricane. That day they’d kissed after he'd got done speaking with Carlos and his family, he'd gone back downstairs in search of her. He wasn't sure what he'd do once he found her. Maybe they'd talk about the kiss, maybe they'd pick back up where they left off. He was disappointed to realize she'd made him dinner and was not joining him. The next morning, when he went back down to the kitchen, she was not there, but breakfast was. She must have regretted the kiss. That was the only logical reason for her to be avoiding him. He didn't understand why she might regret it though. To him, that kiss was wonderful. But it wasn't just the kiss.Zach was beginning to realize that Lila was an amazing woman. He was finding himself more and more attracted to her. The attraction was beginning to manifest in his dreams. Since that kiss, she'd showed up in his dreams doing things to him that even made him blush.He stared up at the ceiling. The silence was becoming unbearable. More than anything, he was beginning to just miss her companionship. He enjoyed their conversations. He looked over at the clock. It was a little after midnight.He hadn't touched a TV in those two days because he didn't want to risk seeing his face on the TV again. He remembered seeing a DVD player and figured he could see if there was some movie he could watch. He definitely wasn't getting any sleep tonight. Usually in situations like this, when he needed to clear his head, he would go jogging. Obviously, that was not an option at the moment, due to the weather.He finally headed downstairs. He heard the TV on and saw the light illuminating the dark living room. He stood in the doorway and watched as Lila watched herself on TV passing out again.“Glutton for punishment?”She jumped, startled from his voice then turned around. Shaking her head and looking down, she said, “I can't believe this is still news, I thought it would have blown over by now.”He walked over to her. “It will,” he said standing over her. He turned on the small lamp, on the table next to her.He looked down at her but she refused to look at him.“I came down because I couldn't sleep either. Figured I'd try to find a movie to watch.”She stood. “Well, I'm sure you'll find something good to watch. Have a good night.”She turned to leave, but he grabbed her arm. “Wait a minute. We should talk.”“There's nothing to talk about.”“You don't even want to discuss what happen the other day?”“What's to discuss?” she retorted.He could tell she was getting upset. He was getting slightly annoyed that she didn't seem to even want to acknowledge it.“Really? 'What's to discuss?'”“Ok! We kissed!” she snapped. “So what? What's the big deal? It's not going to happen again.”“That's not what you want.”She narrowed her eyes at him. “You don't know what I want,” she sneered.“Oh I think I have a pretty good idea of what you want.”She turned and began to walk away from him.“Why are you running?”“I'm not!”“Could have fooled me.” He shook his head. “You never impressed me to be the type of person who would run from something they were afraid of.”“I told you I'm not running from anything, and I'm not afraid.”“You're lying.”She turned around and looked at him. “Did you enjoy the kiss Lila?”“What?”“You heard me. Did you enjoy it?”“It doesn't matter. It was meaningless.”“You really believe that?”“Yes.”“So, you expect me to believe you didn't feel anything when we kissed.”“Yes.”“Well, let's just blow your theory out of the water.”Before she could take her next breath, he crossed the room and his mouth came crashing down on hers. She tried to fight the waves of desire that flooded her body, but they were too powerful. This kiss was even better than the last one. He wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her close. She instantly melded to his body. She clearly felt his desire for her and gasped slightly. He took advantage of her open mouth and dipped his tongue inside and tasted her.She was sweeter than anything he'd ever tasted. He found her tongue and swirled his around it. He teased it and mated with it.Then just as quickly as he started the kiss, he broke it off. They both were breathing heavily. She looked up at him and saw the raw desire in his eyes. It sent a shiver through her body from the top of her head to the tips of her toes.“Can you still say you didn't feel anything?”She couldn't say anything period.He looked at her with a satisfied smirk. “You can't run from this Lila, whatever it is. It's way too powerful. But I'm also learning how stubborn you can be. So when you're ready to see where this is going to take us, you know where to find me.”He looked at her slightly swollen lips, smiled again, and then went back up to his room.And he slept well for the first time in two days.

Updating Your Kindle Books Tutorial
Hey All!
I just did some updates on my books and had to republish them. Kindle will only email customers about the book updates if there is a "major change".
As I am not sure what is considered a major change, I've decided to give you a quick tutorial on how to update your books on the kindle!
On your computer, log in to your amazon. At the top right it will say "Hello, Your Name" and "Your Account". When you hover over that a drop-down menu appears. Go to "Manage Your Kindle".
Now, there are two options: They now have Automatic Book Update.
All you have to do is click on "Learn More" and then make sure the option is turned On.
That's it! It should automatically update your books!
If you don't do that, then you can search for the book and see if there is an update for it. It will tell you next to the title if there is an update available. Click on the actions button to the right and and drop down menu will appear. Click on "Update this title".
Once it is updated it will tell you that a new copy is being sent to your kindle!
The next time you open and sync your kindle, it will automatically update and you will get your new copy of your book!
I hope this helps!!!
Happy Reading!
