Intriguing New 4/5 Star Review for Historical Romance YOU FOUND ME
REVIEWS AND INTERVIEWS
I'm so excited! I've received a thoughtful review from Michelle at Cocktails and Books. 4 out of 5 stars or glasses in this case for historical romance YOU FOUND ME. Hope you'll check it out. Thanks Michelle and Cocktails and Books!
Read Review HERE
Injured, lost and alone, what more could a girl ask for than to be rescued by a roguish Scottish Laird and a proper English Duke?
Marcus Sunderland, reared in England, groomed from birth to be the Duke of Carlton, is everything a proper English gentleman should be. Unwaveringly loyal to his liege and childhood playmate Queen Elnor, devoted to his people and his country.
Laird Niall Lummisden of Clan Logan in Lomond, Scotland, is everything a roguish Scottish Laird should be. Dedicated to his clan. Friendly, easygoing, born with confident swagger, he is the complete antithesis to his English half-brother Marcus.
As the brothers travel to a royal engagement they discover a woman left for dead in the road, beaten beyond recognition. It is decreed by his Queen that Marcus must take the stranger back to his estate to recover from her injuries. The unidentified woman not only survives the vicious attack but, as she begins to heal and communicate, struggling to recall her life before they found her, both men are intrigued and attracted to her.
The Duke and the Laird have survived a lifetime of cultural and political differences, but can the brothers survive her?
I'm also over at my friend Mary Waibel's today talking about AFTERLIFE the 5th book in the Always Cambridge Series. Can you believe the last book will be out in a about a weeks time? Hope you'll check us out at Waibel's World. Mary is also announcing the winners from His Royal Hotness Week.

#MySexySaturday My Threesome gets a Sequel #ménage #erotic
Welcome to the 56th week of My Sexy Saturday. Here's the prompt...
This week, we’re wondering what happens after you say THE END. What happens to your wonderful characters that you’ve created? Do they retreat silently into the sunset? Do they get more exposure in the next book of your series? This is our thoughts on what happens to those special characters once the story appears to be over.
I wrote Streetlight People as a little challenge to myself. I was a new writer, especially to erotica, (I guess I still am, kind of) and I wanted to know if I could pen a ménage story. And this, BTW, was probably the catalyst that began my genre bending ways. :D Once I'd finished that story and it had been published, it was actually a very good friend of mine and fellow author, who mentioned that Toni needed her own story. *Spoiler Alert* at the end of Streetlight People, Toni is sort of left out in the cold. So I took my friend, Donna's advice and I gave Toni her own story. And that's what happened at 'the end' of SLP. :)
The Best of Both Worlds
Here's a snippet from The Best of Both Worlds.
Threesomes come and threesomes go.
Will Toni ever find a couple willing to share in the same kind of long-term relationship she's looking for? Or is she forever destined to be to the third wheel?
Griff was so full of anticipation—his whole body was tense, his gaze darting between the two of us.
“He is a lovely specimen, is he not?” I agreed. We converged on him, like a hungry pack, both of us having the same intent. I grabbed his rock-hard cock, as Avery opened her mouth, his length disappearing into her warm, wet recesses. The sight was mesmerizing. The sound he made stirring.
When Avery ascended, I descended, taking her place, swallowing Griff’s cock hungrily. We took turns going down on him.
“Oh God! I can’t stand it…” Griff groaned, with impatience.
Avery finally took him deep, her fair head bobbing swiftly.
I ran my hand over and around his tightening balls. Lowering to them, I slid my fingers teasingly over the soft underside, as I sucked one, then the other mouth-watering treat into my mouth, humming with longing.
Griff shouted his gratification, as Avery consumed him fervently. Finally, he stiffened and thrust rapidly. As she sat up a drip of milky fluid clung to her full bottom lip. I gripped her chin and licked the drop, dragging another moan from Griff.
BLURB:
Single white female seeks perfect couple…
After participating in a threesome with her boyfriend and a female schoolmate, Antoinette Oakes finds herself alone. But Toni is less upset by the loss of her boyfriend than she is by the realization that her idea of the perfect relationship requires two people. A man and a woman. The week before graduation, in the midst of setting up job interviews and apartment hunting in New York, Toni is summoned back home to Manchester, Georgia—a place she swore she’d never return to—and to a father she has no desire to see. The last thing Toni expects is to rekindle old feelings for her high school beau, Griffin, let alone reawaken a past infatuation with her former best girlfriend, Avery, with whom she once shared a passionate kiss and a little bit more.
But keeping her eye on the ultimate prize, Toni is determined to move to New York, where the impossible dream of finding that perfect couple just might be possible. Something the small town intolerant community she grew up in would never understand. Toni wants the best of both worlds and will settle for nothing less, even if that means leaving Griffin and Avery behind, for a second time.

Meet the Villains - Lisabet Sarai's The Ingredients of Bliss Blog Tour and Giveaway
The Ingredients of Bliss by Lisabet SaraiContemporary BDSM MénageTotally Bound, 2014
Blog Tour & Giveaway
Introducing the VillainsBy Lisabet Sarai
Although I've been writing all my life, and publishing for nearly fifteen years, I'm still learning how to write effective villains. It's all too easy to go off the deep end, to make them so loathsome that they're boring. Pure evil is just too predictable.
When my crit partner Chris read my first attempt at a serious villain, Teodoro Raphael Remorros in my Mayan-themed paranormal Serpent's Kiss, he commented diplomatically, “He's a bit of a mustache-twirler, isn't he?” And Chris was absolutely on target. In version one of the book, Remorros was a cartoon. He oozed cruelty from every pore. Despite his magical powers, readers would understand immediately that Remorros didn't stand a chance of vanquishing Jorge, the hero. And that removed a significant source of suspense and excitement.
Chris taught me that villains need to be ambiguous, with some flash of brilliance or beauty to balance their darkness. Even more important, villains need a reason to be bad. Their evil deeds must make internal sense, given their situation, goals or history. The most memorable villains believe their actions are justified.
In the most compelling stories, the villain in some way mirrors or resembles the hero (or heroine). The two characters have some fundamental traits in common. This sets up a tension, keeping the tale a bit off balance, because there's always some possibility that the hero or heroine might slip over the line and be lost to the dark side.
The Ingredients of Bliss features two villains. The first is Jean Le Requin, a notorious French gangster who physically resembles Etienne Duvalier. Indeed, that resemblance is the reason that Etienne and Harry are abducted. The Iron Hammer Triad mistakes Etienne for Jean, who has stolen a drug shipment from them. Emily is forced to ingratiate herself with Jean in order to search for the purloined narcotics. It's a difficult task at least partially because Jean looks and even smells like Emily's lover Etienne.
Jean shares something besides his appearance with Etienne: a monumental ego. However, while Etienne has impeccable manners, Jean is crude and violent. Even after he assaults Emily, though, he still merits a bit of sympathy. We learn that he is a product of his environment, not bad by birth. And he does end up risking his life to help Emily rescue Etienne and Harry.
The other villain is the Chinese mob boss Zhao. Once again, he's not 100% evil. He's pragmatic, a businessman, albeit one accustomed to using bloody means to resolve his problems. And he mirrors Emily in several ways – not only in his Hong Kong background but also in his characteristically Chinese approach to negotiation.
The Ingredients of Bliss is intended to be a light-hearted tale, not entirely realistic. The notion that a female chef could win in a conflict with a group of professional criminals is pretty silly. Still, I wanted my villains to be sufficiently three dimensional to be seen as a palpable threat.
You'll have to decide whether I've succeeded or not.
Blurb
One sexy French chef. One kinky American TV producer. One ambitious Chinese gal who thinks she wants them both. The ingredients of bliss? Or a recipe for disaster?
Accomplished cook Mei Lee “Emily” Wong knows exactly what she wants—her own show on the Tastes of France food channel. But life is full of complications. First, her deceptively nerdy producer, Harry Sanborne, initiates Emily into the delights of submission. Then her boss, legendary chef Etienne Duvalier, begs her to dominate him. Emily just can’t resist—especially when Harry orders her to explore her inner mistress. Suave and sexy Etienne will do whatever she asks—in the bedroom if not in the kitchen. And Harry, her lovingly diabolical Dom, adores pushing Emily’s limits.
When the network sends the trio to France to shoot a series of cooking shows on location, Emily knows her career is on the upswing. Her plans fall apart in Marseille as a Hong Kong drug syndicate kidnaps both Etienne and Harry. The Iron Hammer Triad mistakes Etienne for notorious gangster Jean Le Requin, who has stolen their drug shipment, worth millions. Emily realizes she must find the real Le Requin, retrieve the purloined dope, and bargain it for Harry’s and Etienne’s lives. The secret she’s been keeping from Harry might prove useful. Still, what chance does one woman whose knife skills are limited to chopping vegetables, have against the ruthless cruelty of two criminal organizations?

R-rated Excerpt
“Eh bien. How about that appetizer?” He nibbled my ear lobe. “I’m starving.”
His mouth locked to mine, demanding my surrender just as he had on the grandstand. I had to encourage him. For the moment, I gave him everything he wanted, wrapping my arms around his neck and sinking against his solid chest. He’d opened the top three buttons, enough to expose the red-brown hair scattered over his pectorals. He hadn’t changed clothes since the races. Now the funky, masculine scent of his sweat overwhelmed the dwindling traces of his cologne—a scent that was dangerously familiar.
I struggled against my autonomic reactions, reminding myself that this man wasn’t Etienne, no matter how similar he looked. Jean was a vicious criminal who wouldn’t hesitate to kill me if he knew who I really was or why I was there.
One of his hands crept up my thigh to the bare skin above my stocking tops. The other fiddled with the zipper that ran up my spine. I felt a finger prodding at the satin of my undergarment.
I slid away from his lips and pushed myself back from his taut body. “Slow down, stud,” I purred, letting my voice drip with lust. “I told you, I don’t like to be rushed.”
He grabbed at my arm, but I twirled away, laughing.
“Damn it, Mei Lee! I’ve been waiting all day!”
“And you can’t wait a bit longer, cher? I do so want to impress you with my cooking. And I suspect that if I let you continue with what you’ve been doing, dinner will never happen. Wouldn’t that be a waste?”
“If you let me continue?” Jean’s face darkened.
I recognized the cold cruelty I’d seen in his mug shots. A chill skittered down my spine.
“I want you, woman. What’s to stop me from simply taking you?”
“That would certainly ruin what’s promising to be a lovely friendship…” I worked to keep my voice light, level, flirtatious. Reaching behind my back, I located the zipper tab. This wasn’t the easiest maneuver but I’d practiced it in my hotel room. I eased the zipper down while I continued to soothe him. “Don’t you know that building erotic tension can lead to far more pleasure, when it’s finally released?”
Fists clenched by his sides, apparently torn between force and reason, Le Requin glared at me. “I don’t give a shit about erotic tension. I just want to fuck you.”
“Oh? You had me believing you a great lover. I guess I was mistaken.” With an exaggerated sigh, I turned my back to him and slipped the dress off my shoulders. The crepe slithered down my body and pooled at my feet, revealing the satin and mesh costume I’d bought from Madame Mirasolle.
I didn’t need to see him to gauge his reaction. His low moan was a dead giveaway. The jet black satin thong disappearing between the pale moons of my ass cheeks looked wicked as sin. I knew—I’d checked in the mirror when I’d put it on.
About the Author
I started both writing and cooking at an early age, and I've continued to indulge both passions as I've matured. Usually I'm an improvisational cook; I'm not all that fond of following recipes, and when I do, I almost always introduce my own variations. My philosophy tends to be the more spice, the better.
You could say the same about my writing. Since the release of my debut novel Raw Silk in 1999, I've published lots of erotica and erotic romance in almost every sub-genre– more than fifty single author titles, plus dozens of short stories in various erotic anthologies, including the Lambda winner Where the Girls Are and the IPPIE Best Erotic Book of 2011, Carnal Machines. My gay scifi erotic romance Quarantine won a Rainbow Awards 2012 Honorable Mention.
I have more degrees than anyone would ever need, from prestigious educational institutions who would no doubt be deeply embarrassed by my chosen genre. Widely traveled but still with a long bucket list of places to go, I currently live in Southeast Asia with my indulgent husband and two exceptional felines, where I pursue an alternative career that is completely unrelated to my creative writing.

#MySexySaturday Take a 'Ride' with the Devil #historical #romance The Devil Take You
A Sexy Carriage Ride ~ @MySexySaturday #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 Welcome to the 55th week of My Sexy Saturday. Here's this week's prompt
This is our nod for our historical authors. Share with us your sexy carriage ride for the world to see! While some of you may be sad and think this is only for our historic authors, think again. A sexy carriage ride can be in a space ship, a ’67 Mustang or a covered wagon. Can you remember your first sexy carriage ride?
This excerpt is from The Devil Take You—not a carriage ride but a sexy encounter on a horse.
“Do ye wan’ more, Braelynn?” Gard asked.
“Aye!”
He slid his finger slowly from her. She clung to him, trembling, she felt him push slowly back into her, and then away. Keeping up a slow torturous rhythm that drove her closer to a precipice of sensation she’d never experienced before.
Bending her knees, she sought the pressure of his hand as he thrust it faster and deeper. She whimpered into his mouth and wanted to weep at the intense need he created in her as he continued his assault. Who knew this kind of feeling existed?
“Be ye lovin’ the devil, again, Braelynn?”
“Aye!”
“Be it wrong?” he sounded raw and savage.
“Nay,” she panted.

The Devil Take You Blurb:
Scotland - 1307 - During the Scottish Wars of Independence
Gard Marschand will stop at nothing in his pursuit to regain what is lost. Concealing his true identity, he will associate with his enemies, kill his own countrymen, even sell his soul to the devil if all else fails. He will lie, cheat, steal, rape and siege his way across two countries gaining power and reputation in his malevolent wake. His determination all consuming, until King Edward commands Gard to lay siege on Ross-shire holding, where Braelynn Galbraith obliterates his single-minded purpose.
Braelynn Galbraith wants peace for her beloved Scotland, marriage to her childhood sweetheart, Callum, and a house full of children. In that order. But evil incarnate in the form of Gard Marschand, turns her life inside out and destroys all hope of a decent marriage.
Can Gard abandon his deep-seated need of revenge for a love that might just save his soul, or will he succumb to the demons that hound him and surrender to the devil within?

The Silk Tie by Lily Harlem
“If you enjoyed The Glass Knot you’ll LOVE The Silk Tie.”
New from Lily Harlem, The Silk Tie, a steamy ménage a trois novel (mmf) that celebrates desire, fantasy and follows the brave decision of a woman to let a third into a her relationship. It’s steamy, sexy and leaves no detail unexplored. Grab a copy, settle down and enjoy a rollercoaster of emotions with Hayley, Gabe and Brent.
The Silk Tie is available from AmazonThe Glass Knot is available from Amazon and all other good ebook retailers
Professional life in the City of London is tough going which is why my husband Gabe and I live by the motto work hard and play hard. So when something, or rather someone, comes along that changes how he wants to play I’m intrigued by our sexy new game.
But there's always private sides to the ones you love, and in this case new thoughts and desires are stealing Gabe’s dreams. It’s not until I meet Brent—gorgeous and sophisticated yet soul-achingly alone—that I begin to understand the complex layers of Gabe’s needs and exactly what I have to do.
But I’m not afraid; in fact the idea of two men turns me the hell on. In a whirlwind of romance, fear, desire and a new cresting wave of passion we open up to each other, testing the water for one weekend only. Or is it? Will we ever be the same again? Can Gabe and I survive our decision to let a third into our bed? Can Brent just walk away and, more importantly, will we let him?
Excerpt
“You can’t…you can’t go in there. You don’t have an appointment.”After placing the papers on the desk and setting down my purse, I put my iPhone on charge. There was no message from Gabe.I turned at the sound of Jeannie’s panicked voice.“Sir, really you can’t,” she said again.I stepped toward the door.“Sir. I have to insist…”A man—tall, wearing a suit and with dense facial hair—strutted into the center of the room, placed his hands on his hips and set his gaze on me.“Brent?”“Please, you must leave.” Jeannie appeared, twisting her hands together and shifting from one foot to the other.“It’s okay,” I said, not tearing my attention from Brent. His expression was dark, his mouth, usually upturned, a dead-flat line. “I’ll handle it from here.”“Are you sure? Shall I call security?” Jeannie asked.I wasn’t sure. He was breathing fast and his eyebrows were pulled low. Something had really pissed him off.“Yes, I’m sure.” I nodded. “Just shut the door please, Jeannie.”“Good idea,” Brent said, his voice low and husky.Jeannie hesitated.I nodded at her. “It’s fine.”She frowned then pulled the door up.The second it clicked shut Brent moved toward me, fast.I backed up.My shoulders hit the polished paneling that clad the walls of my office. I couldn’t move any farther.“What the hell,” he said, coming up close then pressing his palms against the wood either side of my head, “do you think you’re doing?”“What?” I asked, gulping and looking up at him.“Jesus Christ, don’t pretend you don’t know.”“I have no idea what you’re talking about,” I managed, flattening my hands behind myself and pulling in fast breaths.I knew exactly what he was talking about.“Gabe,” he said, lowering his face. “That’s what I’m talking about.”I could feel the air leaving his lungs through his nose as it washed over my cheeks. His aftershave invaded my nostrils and laced my tongue. The heat of his body radiated onto mine, blasting through my silky blouse as though it wasn’t even there.“What about Gabe?” I asked, tilting my chin.“He’s just asked me to fuck him.” His eye contact was unwavering. “And he told me that it was your idea.”“What? No, that’s not right.”“Which bit of that isn’t fucking right, Hayley, because it all sounds pretty fucking not right to me?”I gathered my strength and refused to be intimidated by him. “You can’t deny you like Gabe.” I gave him a steely glare.“That’s not the issue.” He narrowed his eyes.“And he likes you,” I snapped back.“All of that is irrelevant because he’s married…to you.”“Which surely means, if there is one person who can give Gabe permission to fuck someone else, it’s me. His wife.”His mouth opened slightly and he stared at me.“What?” I asked. “It makes sense. Gabe’s got a crush on you, I suppose that is one way of describing it, and he wants you, badly, he—”“He’s not even bloody gay.”“No, but he must have elements of being bi for him to be feeling this way.”Brent stepped away, turned and locked his fingers on the crown of his head with his elbows outstretched.“Brent,” I said, pushing away from the wall. “Please don’t be mad.”“I’m not mad…just…”“What?”“Confused, I suppose.” He dropped his hands and turned to me as he sighed. The hardness had gone from his face.“Why?” I moved to my desk and leaned my behind on it, kept my arms at my sides in an effort to look open and available for him to express his feelings to. It was a tactic I used with clients. “Tell me, Brent. We’re friends, aren’t we?”“Yes, we are.” He sat in one of the two chairs in front of my desk and sighed. “I like you, Hayley, a lot, and I like Gabe too. I care about him.”“And do you fancy him?”“I’m not gay either.” He paused and appeared to summon courage. “But I am bi. I have been with a man before.”I nodded and kept my expression neutral even though there was something electrifying about his admission. No longer a rumor but a solid fact he was able to share with me.“And would you want to be with Gabe that way?” I asked. Again words were coming out of my mouth that I wouldn’t believe I could utter. This time last month this conversation would be ludicrous.“Do I want Gabe that way,” he repeated.I waited for him to go on.“Yes, in a word. He’s bloody gorgeous and damn sexy too, but I don’t need to tell you that, Hayley. Heck, you married him.”I smiled. “He is gorgeous and sexy, and also the most passionate, loving person I’ve ever met.” I paused. “His happiness is also my responsibility and right now, him not being with you the way he wants to be is screwing with his mind.”“Have you had a third person in your relationship before?”“No, it’s always been just us. We’re strong, our bonds are tight, but…”“And you’re willing to risk it all.”“Perhaps it’s a risk for it not to happen.”“Bloody hell…” He pressed his hands over his face and looked at me from over his fingertips. “You’re really are deadly serious.”“Yes.” I sat on the seat at his side. “I am. He’s been on edge, preoccupied. I know he loves me, would die for me, we’ve been in each other’s lives for a long time now, there’s nothing that will tear us apart.”“Except me. Maybe I will.”“Do you really believe that?”“It would be my worst nightmare to split you two up. Seeing you and Gabe together makes me very happy. You have something special, something I’ve hunted for, seen glimpses of, but never truly found.”I reached out and rested my fingers on the sleeve of his gray suit jacket and rubbed my thumb on the smooth material. “Gabe and I are strong. Strong enough to cope with this.” I paused, hoping to hell that we were. “If you feel the same way about Gabe then this can happen. I don’t have a problem with it.”He stared at me, long and hard, then, “You’re right, I do want to fuck him.”My belly clenched and I squeezed my internal muscles. This might actually happen for Gabe.“But I have one condition,” he said, leaning back and folding his arms. His suit jacket bunched at the lapels.“What’s that?” I asked.“You’re there. You watch us.”“You can’t be serious.” I knotted my fingers together and gripped them in my lap. “Why would…?” Much as the idea appealed, I’d never thought it would become reality.“You remember that film, Indecent Proposal? Robert Redford I think it was.”“Yes. What about it?” I laughed but the sound caught in my throat.Brent reached out, rested his palm over my clasped hands. “It screws him up, the husband. After his wife has spent a night with another man for a huge sum of money, he obsesses about what they did, how they were together. Was there love or was it just sex? Had she had more fun with the rich guy than with him?”I nodded. I’d seen the film.“That’s what causes the problems,” Brent went on. “They had a million in the bank but the husband’s imagination, his not knowing, was a much bigger problem than being poor.”“And you think I’ll be like that?”“I don’t know. You seem pretty…cool with the idea at the moment.”“I am. I’ve given it a lot of thought.”He lifted his hand from mine and shifted on the seat.I glanced at his groin and wondered if he was getting hard talking about screwing my husband. “Okay,” I said. “It wasn’t how I thought it would go. But yes, I’ll be there.” A flush traveled over my skin just at saying that. I could hardly begin to think how horny it would make me to actually see them together, for real—fucking.Brent stood, slid his hands down the front of his suit jacket then straightened his tie. “You can tell him yes for me. I’m afraid I was a little harsh on him when he blurted it out over a cheese panini in Costa. It had been the last thing I was expecting him to say.”“I will, but…” I hated to think of Gabe being upset, confused by Brent’s reaction.“Yes. I’ll call him too.” He looked at his watch. “But right now I’m late for a meeting with my bank manager, and I really have to run.”“Yes, of course.”He walked to the door.“Brent,” I called.“What?” He turned and a long shard of sunlight sliced over his face and down his body.“Thank you.”He smiled and swept his tongue over his bottom lip. “I should be the one thanking you.”

#MySexySaturday - A Promise of Dancing... Naked #erotic #romanticsuspense
Welcome to the 54th week of My Sexy Saturday. My Sexy Saturday weekly blog hop featuring 7 paragraphs, 7 sentences or 7 words of a sexy snippet from a WIP or published workDo You Think I’m Sexy? ~ @MySexySaturday #MySexySaturday #MSS54
The sexy theme this week is perfect for the mob boss' son, Victor Mayhue. He is sexy with a capital S and dark and dangerous to boot.
He's probably the most naturally sensual and sexual character I've ever had the pleasure to write but his one little flaw—he knows just how potent he is and he always gets what he wants. (well almost always)
Here's an excerpt from Book Three in the Always Cambridge Family Saga Series
Misfortune of Birth
A little set up for this snip, as the title of this post suggests begins with a promise of dancing naked but Victor decides to torture Holly out on the dance floor first. He was intoxicating. He could talk me into, kiss me into, touch me into anything he wished because I wanted it too. My desire for him overrode everything else. My sense, my principles, my goals, my life. He kept up his assault on my lips until he moved to my ear. He used his tongue expertly. Even his elevated breathing in my ear excited me, just knowing that he was turned on.
“Do you know what I’m going to do to you, with my tongue, when we get upstairs?”
A wet rush of heat gathered between my legs at his words.
“First, I’m going to unlace these ties.” I felt his fingers toying with the ties at my nape as if he might undo them now in front of everyone. I never knew with him. He just might. He might not. He could start making love to me right on this dance floor in front of everyone and no one would stop him, least of all me. He’d most likely start an island wide orgy. Eros would be proud. Victor also embodied sexual power.
He pulled one string taut, then took the string and ran it over my shoulders, part way down my arm, causing me to erupt in goose bumps.
“I’m gonna peel this down,” he brushed his hands down my ribs so lightly, making me feel like he’d just removed the tight fitting bodice, all but the rush of the cool air hitting my overheated skin missing from his demonstration. I squirmed against him as he swayed with the music.
“I’m gonna kiss you, right here.” Gently he plucked my taught nipple begging for his touch. Thank goodness for the darkness. I should be appalled that he would do such a thing in public, but he had me wrapped up in such a sensual haze, I just wanted more.
Damn, sometimes seven paragraphs just isn't enough! :D

#Tour Bound by the Buccaneer by Normandie Alleman @NormandieA #Giveaway
Normandie Alleman — Bringing Sexy Back to the High Seas...
Bound by the Buccaneer by Normandie Alleman Book Two the Pirates of the Jolie Rouge Trilogy
Two years have passed since Frederica joined Gaston aboard the Ocean’s Knave, and with every passing hour they have fallen more deeply in love. By day she is the ship’s physician, but at night she serves her captain in his bed, offering her body for him to punish and pleasure until she begs for more. But after a successful run of raiding other pirate ships, the couple have a target on their backs.
Their only hope is to form an alliance with a trio of like-minded captains, but in order to guarantee the cooperation of these unyielding, battle-hardened men, Gaston is forced to offer them a night with Frederica. Reluctantly, she agrees to be shared with the men, but afterwards Gaston finds it difficult to forgive himself for bartering Frederica’s charms. As jealousy and desperation threaten to consume him, will Gaston lose his beloved Frederica or can he weather the storm and find a way to bind her to him forever?
Excerpt: Bound by the Buccaneer
“You love knowing I can’t escape, don’t you? That I’m all yours,” Frederica teased, tugging at the restraints that bound her wrists to the bed.
Gaston raised a brow to her. “And what if I do?” He asked, untying the ropes from her wrists. “You know how much it excites me to see you all bound and helpless. Don’t you like being my own personal little whore?” Mischief danced in his visible brown eye. The other hid behind a black patch, injured in battle.
She touched a finger to her lips and rolled her eyes in mock consideration.
Before she had a chance to answer his rather rhetorical question, he pounced on her. His weight upon her gave her a feeling of warmth and security she felt at no other time than lying under him.
“Liar,” he whispered into her ear, his mouth trailing down her neck. “Tell me how much you love it.” Then he proceeded to tickle her ribs which sent her into a gale of giggles.
“Must I resort to the gag again?” He waved a red kerchief in the air playfully.
Her laughter made it difficult to speak. “Yes, yes, I love it.” Her voice reached a high-pitched squeal.
He ceased the tickling and sensually covered her mouth with his hand. “You must remain quiet or I will be forced to quiet you.” With each word his mouth traveled lower on her body, accentuating every word with a kiss.
Gaston hated for her to be too loud during their lovemaking. He worried that if the crew heard them, it would cause trouble. It wasn’t exactly fair for the Captain to be the only man aboard with a woman to bed every night. It was unclear to her whether he was more worried the pirates would rape her or if he feared they would stage a mutiny of his leadership, or both. Either was a potential problem if the men grew irritable enough.
So she tried to be quiet, but it was difficult considering the way Gaston brought her to such heights of ecstasy. Though she’d been a virgin when they met, and therefore inexperienced, she had no doubt he had talents in the bedroom that exceeded those of most men.
All he had to do was look at her a certain way, and Frederica’s body responded to him. His kisses awakened a fire inside her that only he could douse. “I know how you can keep me quiet,” she breathed huskily.
Publisher’s Note: Bound by the Buccaneer is the second book of the Pirates of the Jolie Rouge trilogy, which began with Rescued by the Buccaneer. It is an adventure and erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes including a foursome, anal play, elements of BDSM, and more.

Since the Pirate of the Jolie Rouge Trilogy is best read in order, here’s more about the first book:
Rescued by the Buccaneer
When Frederica Beauchamp boards a ship for the Americas, she dreams of a life filled with adventure, but she gets more than she bargained for when her passenger ship is attacked by pirates. The heartless men kidnap her and force her to serve their captain—a fate that might be worse than death, since though he does not have his way with her, the captain delights in baring her, shaming her, and thrashing her bare bottom as punishment for every imagined disobedience.
After the pirates bring aboard an injured man found floating in the sea, Frederica tends to his wounds and learns that he is Gaston Galette, a survivor of a shipwrecked vessel. Gaston seeks her help to overthrow the vile captain, but when their plan goes awry he is forced to use all of his wiles to save them. As the naïve girl and the seasoned sailor navigate one perilous situation after another, he informs Frederica that the only way they can survive is if he is in command, and that if she thinks things can be otherwise, she will be taken over his knee for a bare bottom spanking.
As he watches the proud, willful Frederica bow to his authority, however, Gaston worries that her growing hold on his heart will be his downfall. He knows he cannot take a woman with him when he returns to his ship and crew, but when Frederica accepts his lustful dominance completely, submitting to him with grace and beauty no other woman could match, Gaston realizes that he may never be able to let her go.
Publisher’s Note: Rescued by the Buccaneer is the first book of the Pirates of the Jolie Rouge trilogy. It is an adventure and erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes including elements of BDSM and humiliation, and more.

Although I wished to choose a snippet from my newest release AFTERLIFE, the Fifth book in the Always Cambridge Series, I couldn't risk giving too much away! :) So, today, I'm sharing a snip from Book Four, Law & Order : Crime & Chaos.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice not above a harsh whisper. I was excited to see her but afraid as well. I knew she wouldn’t risk this unless it was bad.
She didn’t speak. Her breathing was shallow, fanning out across my jaw. Her hungry gaze roamed over my face. Her fingers traced the same path. With her thumb she lined my bottom lip right before her lips met mine. It started out soft, timid, because of our time apart. A kiss that just conveyed how much we’d missed each other and how wonderful it felt to know we were both still alive.
And then it turned hot, ravenous, probably ugly, but it felt so fuckin’ good. We were starving for each other. Mourning the loss. Missing one another. I guess it would never matter how much time passed between us. It would always be this way for us. I grabbed the back of her head and I devoured her mouth. I shifted on the desk, thrusting my hips into her.
Letting her know I wanted her. She whimpered into my mouth. I always knew when she made that sound she would surrender to me if it was what I wanted. I knew I could lay her out on this desk and do whatever I wanted and she wouldn’t stop me. I fought with my conscience. Randy would kill me. I tried to keep my mind on that thought when she took over the kiss, sliding her tongue over mine. Her legs tightened around my back and she used her amazing flexibility to ride me. I groaned at the contact of her heat. She wanted me, too.
I ripped my lips from hers, gasping. I flung my arm out behind us and I cleared the fuckin’ desk. I stood and placed her sweet ass on it. She started to recline, reaching welcoming arms to me. I put my knees on the desk and followed her down, bracing my arms on either side of her. She opened her knees and I nestled my straining erection right where it belonged. My lips found hers again and we resumed right where we left off. She began to arch against me, straining, moaning my name. She reached for the button on my pants. I wanted to let her. I wanted this so bad, to be with her one last time. I wanted to fuck her. But I grabbed her hand, stopping her. I wanted to weep.
She wasn’t about to give up easily. She wiggled her wrist until I let her go and then she slid her greedy palm down the length of me. I couldn’t stop myself from pushing into her hand, groaning with need.
“Holly, we can’t.”
Her breath rushed. “Please, Victor,” she begged, wiggling against me. “I need you.”

Have a Sexy Saturday!
Welcome to the 53rd week of My Sexy Saturday. As we enter out second year of posting our sexy snippets for you, let’s reflect a moment on why we’re here. Each of us want to wow you with the sexy love between our characters. Love is what makes the word go round and as the line goes in a famous tune, all you need is love.
This week share with us your characters sexy love. Show us how they fell in love and how they plan to stay in love. Basically, as readers we all want to know about the love story. So share with us characters who aren’t afraid to show that they love someone. Share with us the characters that will be there a year, ten years or forever with someone they love. Pepper their existence with a clandestine rendezvous or a weekly event, show us why we love, love, love them. From the moment they meet their significant other, their first hot kiss, to the fulfillment of a dream, show us the wonders of finding, falling in love and loving your significant other.
Although I wished to choose a snippet from my newest release AFTERLIFE, the Fifth book in the Always Cambridge Series, I couldn't risk giving too much away! :) So, today, I'm sharing a snip from Book Four, Law & Order : Crime & Chaos.
“What are you doing here?” I asked, my voice not above a harsh whisper. I was excited to see her but afraid as well. I knew she wouldn’t risk this unless it was bad.She didn’t speak.
