Blurb: He never missed a beat...until she taught him a whole new rhythm. 

Heart of Fame, Book 4

Back when he was playing drums for rock star Nick Blackthorne, it was easy for Noah Holden to focus on the sticks in his hand. Now that the band is getting back together, he’s excited—and worried. His ADHD has made every minute of his post-Blackthorne life a chaotic mess. 

His apprehension is blown away when a bar waitress makes him a proposition—and not the kind this king of drums is used to. 

When Pepper Kerrigan overhears the band talking reunion, she pushes her self-doubt aside, calls on her encyclopedic music knowledge and challenges Noah Holden to a trivia contest. Her prize should she win? An audition. His? A kiss. Their smoking sexual chemistry guarantees victory—for them both. 

With Pepper, Noah is finally able to control his stormy creative energy. But when his wild past catches up with him, he faces the fight of his life to keep from losing his smoky-voiced angel. The one woman who keeps his mind—and his heart—staying on rhythm. 

Warning: There’s a thrumming, primitive, sexual energy in every rock drummer’s body, just waiting to be released, surging to the fore with every pounding strike of his sticks on the taut skin of his drums. Now imagine that raw energy in bed. With you…

Fab Friday Spotlight: Jenna Jacob Book Spotlight

Masters of My Desire (The Doms of Genesis, Book 2)
Plowing into Bambi and totaling my SUV wasn't the way I envisioned starting my vacation. Then again, neither was being rescued by two gorgeous men. Nick Masters and Dylan Thomas swooped in to save me from the wreck. They weren't just knights in a shining truck, but Dominants so potent the submissive hidden inside me clawed to kneel at their feet.

To my surprise, they offered to teach me the joys of submission. I shoved down my fears and agreed to spend one glorious week of pleasure under their hand, at the center of their raw passion. With each command and touch, they bared my soul and stole my heart. With them, I felt like a beautiful—if kinky—Cinderella. But all too soon, the clock struck midnight, and I fled…

Returning to my lackluster life, I was determined to somehow survive without the masters of my desire. I never imagined they would travel a few hundred miles to hunt me down. Could I say yes when they offered to bestow something on me far more beautiful than a glass slipper?

Blurb
It was just sex...until the booty calls got serious.

More Than...Book 2

When Sarah Deacon’s new relationship comes to an unexpected end, she heads straight for the one place she can always find no-strings comfort—her neighbor’s bed. Charlie, who’s made it clear sex is all he wants, is only too happy to oblige. Hot sex with a gorgeous surfer any time she’s single and in the mood? Oh, yeah. She’s all signed up for that course.

Charlie Hudson knows he’s all wrong for the sexy geneticist. After all, what could a long-haired school dropout have in common with a classy academic? Nothing...except maybe a burning desire for her that just won’t quit no matter how often they have sex.

Sensing the breakup has damaged her self-worth, Charlie cooks up a plan to introduce her to three “appropriate” men who’ll show her she’s the most beautiful woman in the world. But when his matchmaking begins to work too well, he realizes there’s only one thing worse than not having her in his bed. Losing the chance to make her his forever.

Warning: One blond-haired, blue-eyed surfer dude + red-hot booty calls = a book you will not be able to put down (unless you plan to go surfing...or jump your guy.)

Fab Friday Spotlight: J.T. Cheyanne

Please give J.T. Cheyanne a warm welcome on this Fab Friday!!

Happy Friday everyone!  I am so excited to be featured on Isabella’s blog this week and want to send a huge thank you to her for hosting me and giving me a chance to dish on two of my favorite guys, Spencer Hightower and Brock Kinkaid. These gorgeous men are featured in my book Grand Slam.  I wanted to do an interview with them, but Spencer’s season is still going on and I hear the BoSox are having a dynamite season! Go Team!

So, since I don’t get to talk to the two smexies, I thought I’d tell you a bit about how they came to tell me their story. It all started with that wicked vampire Lachi Denali…some of you may know him, and if you do, you know he’s a wicked vampire king with a naughty sense of humor.  Anyway, he lives in my head…and says the most inappropriate things at the oddest times…and yes it comes out of my mouth and yes…my straightjacket is tailor made in cobalt blue. 
On this lovely Saturday evening, I was at McDonald’s with my daughter, Dakota, my son, Devan, and his girlfriend, Ashton. Now my children are definitely used to Lachi, and Ashton is getting there. She’ll say something and point at me and tell Lachi….the vampire in my head mind you…to be quiet. It makes me grin. All of them are so accepting of what I do…which by the way is writing gay erotica…and encourage me at every turn. So, we’re at McDonald’s having a laugh and talking about how much the vampire loves his angel, Laziel. 
Out of the blue clear sky, Ashton bites into a fry, chews and says…”If Devan were ever going to be gay, it would be with Brock.” In real life and not in the gay whirlwind in my head, Brock is my son’s best friend.  They’ve been best friends since they were very young and have supported each other through many of life’s ups and downs…death, divorce, high school and baseball. Devan was the baseball player.  Devan rolls his eyes and laughs, says, “Why would I want Brock when I have you?” Yes…an aww moment, my boy’s a charmer, true. So, we keep laughing, move on to Lachi, but when I get in the car to drive home…Spencer showed up; a small town Alabama boy who loves baseball and wants to hit the majors. He’s out and he’s proud, and he would NOT shut up. I don’t think I’ve ever written so fast. I had another book already started and he just bulldozed on in to tell me just how much he loved his Brock.
I enjoyed every minute spent writing this book. Devan and Ashton were excited to have given me the idea and asked every time I saw them how it was going. Devan told Brock about the book and got a laugh and head shake. When I got ready to do the book cover, I teased Devan and told him I was going to use one of his senior pics, all decked out in his baseball uniform. He shrugged, told me to go for it. He’s such a good kid.  I didn’t end up using his pic…I found a tremendous picture on a stock photo site and the lovely Soxie created a beautiful cover for me. 
And, there ya go. We now have Brock and Spencer’s lovely story. For those of you who’ve already met them, an update. Spencer is happy being a new dad and playing for the BoSox. He and Brock live in Boston now with the twins. Brock runs his own CPA business from home where he keeps Bri and Brit. They love to go watch Daddy Spencer play ball. Brock still gets weak at the knees when he hears Spencer’s southern drawl. Corey is still Spencer’s biggest fan…make that second after Brock…and brags to everyone his uncle is famous. As for Anna Kate…she still wears her pink wedding dress and absolutely adores her cousins. 



BLURB:
All of his life, Spencer Hightower dreamed of playing baseball in the Major Leagues. He survived growing up gay in rural Alabama due to his impressive skill on the baseball diamond. Now living in Rhode Island and playing for the AAA Pawtucket Red Sox, he’s only a few steps away from his goal.Brock Kinkaid, CPA, faced each day with a smile that hid his deepest desire. He wanted to be a father. Unfortunately, the gay men he knew were not into the daddy scene. Resigned to being childless, he lavished his attention on his niece and nephew. When Corey won tickets to see the local baseball team in action, they suckered him into taking them despite the fact he loathed the game. Who would have guessed one homerun ball would change everything?

Book Spotlight: A Perfect Solution by AE Lawless

 

Blurb:
River is the charismatic lead singer of Caged Hearts and it's an open secret that the vibrant energy he displays on stage doesn't bleed away as soon as he's out from under the lights. That sometimes causes considerable friction with his bandmates.

Jeff is the guitarist for Caged Hearts, but he's not your typical party-hard rockstar. He's far more focused on taking care of everyone in his band--especially River.

An offhand comment from Jeff inadvertently helps River discover his submissive side, and he asks Jeff to help him continue to explore those desires. While Jeff is turned on by the idea, he's also reluctant. There's no telling what it could do to the band and his friendship with River. Especially when Jeff wants so much more than just sex.

Fab Friday Spotlight: J.T. Cheyanne & V.L. Moon

Please welcome Authors J.T. Cheyanne & V.L. Moon, along with Seth and Elijah, the stars of Love Life & Circumstance...Sitting back and making themselves comfortable on Seth and Elijah's porch swing, J.T. Cheyanne and V.L. Moon smile as the guys take their own seats and place a pitcher of sweet iced tea and three glasses on the table between them. Taking her cup of hot tea with milk and sugar from Elijah, V.L. apologizes for being so awkward. "It's a British thing I think. I've tried to get used to drinking my tea cold, but..."

"You Brits and your tea! Is it true that you have certain times of the day that you drink it?" Elijah asks as he quickly glances to where Hope is playing with her Hello Kitty stuffed toys. "Well far be it for me to say, but, as a true Brit, any time is tea time, as long as it’s hot." V.L. smiles wider, and then rolls her eyes when J.T. gags.

"Anyway," V.L starts. "Congratulations, I hear the wedding was a beautiful affair. I bet Hope totally upstaged both of her daddies?"

Both, Seth and Elijah laugh, and J.T gives a little sigh when Seth takes Elijah's hand.

"She looked like a princess that's for sure. But then, when you've been through what she has, I'd say a little spoiling doesn't hurt." Elijah states as Seth tries not to choke on a lump of ice from his tea.
 "A little spoiling?" Seth's huge brown eyes widen in disbelief at Elijah’s words, and then his brow creases when he starts to laugh. "Oh my God..you try walking into a baby store within a five mile radius of where we live; they all know Elijah by name. He has this whole diva thing down pat when he’s shopping for Hope's clothes."  Elijah grins at Seth's declaration and settles back looking very proud of himself. 
"Well that answers one of Kim Stone’s questions. Elijah does the clothes shopping. You know, Hope’s a credit to you both. And, we're glad to see she's doing so well. Since J.T and I wrote your story, there's been a lot of people asking how she is. It'll be great to relay back how healthy she is. And how big."
 “I want to pinch her chubby cheeks,” J.T. says rubbing her hands together. “But, she’s happy and playing for now, and some of your new fans,” her smile broadens as Seth blushes and Elijah pulls him in tighter against his chest. “They have some rather risqué questions.” She pulls out her notepad as V.L. starts to giggle.“Bran wants to know….due to Elijah’s errand run….if you could invent a flavored lube, what flavor would you choose?” At Seth’s gasp, J.T. and V.L. exchange grins. “Hold ya horses, he also wants to know, which part of the body you prefer to taste it from?”Elijah’s laughter booms across the yard causing Hope to turn and smile from her playpen. She claps gleefully as her daddy continues to laugh. Cheeks bright red, Seth bites his lip then blurts out, “Nothing tastes better than Elijah, but I do like candy apple.” That answer earns him a kiss which makes J.T. and V.L. swoon.“Caramel macchiato, and I love the dimples in his back just above his ass. Drives him wild when I run my tongue over them.” Elijah glances over and winks as Seth buries his face in his shoulder. J.T. slides down in the swing and fans herself. "Sweet Mary, Mother of God. I thought it was hot in the South!" V.L. murmurs as she searches for the next question. Adjusting herself slightly in her seat V.L fans herself as well."You’re very upfront Elijah."

“Yes I am, ma'am." Elijah's expression turns and a look of reflection crosses his face. He leans over and places a kiss to Seth's lips. "After living in the shadow of my father and fearing the thought of letting him down, I hid...hid my sexuality in the hope that he'd be proud of me. I loved him, but as with every family, there were secrets; secrets and lies that sooner or later come out of the closet. I’ve hidden long enough. I have a life now with the man I love and our daughter. There's no room in our lives for secrets and hiding. I...we, live every day knowing the grief that our union was born from. But that's the past. What we have now is a future. I love Seth, I'm proud of him and to call him mine. And Hope, our daughter is the light of our lives, our miracle. We both love her so much, and if being the way we are upsets folks, well...they don't have to look. Because one thing’s for sure; when you've fought through loss and watched others fight for their lives, you get to thinking...why should anyone have the right to say who should love who? It's the heart that chooses, and at the end of the day, you either take that chance and give love a whirl, or you let the bigots win with their hate and spite." Seth settles back into his seat after retrieving Hope and Elijah pulls them both onto his lap. Hope squeals playfully, and they all laugh."Always choose love, and make every day count. To see the smile on my husband’s face and hear the laughter that fills our lives every day, makes everything we've loved and lost easier to bear. Now...ladies, if you'll excuse us, it's time Hope had her afternoon nap. It's been a pleasure." Elijah, being ever the gentleman kisses both their hands and leaves both J.T and V.L sighing dreamily with big silly grins on their faces."Damn Southern men are just hawt," J.T drawls and makes V.L swoon all over again. J.T. laughs and pulls her up from the swing. “Come on, missy, guess we’ll have to get the honeymoon details on the next sit down with them.”
Book Blurb:
Born the son of a preacher man, Elijah Deacon always conformed to his father’s strict religious teachings. He worked hard, devoting his time and energy to the family owned construction firm, leaving little time to focus on the deplorable state of his private life. Small town America was no place to be when all a man craved was the touch of another man. Elijah hid his sexuality and tried in vain to convince himself he could be happy with a woman. Urged on by the dream of having the family he craved, Elijah couldn’t know a drunken one night stand would see him pay the ultimate price.

Leaving the bright lights of Atlanta and placing his own life on hold, paralegal, Seth Jacobs, moved to Alabama hopeful that with a baby on the way, his twin sister Bethany would settle down. His older sister by five minutes, she gave him the confidence he needed while growing to come out and be proud of who he was. It was his turn to return the support. On arrival in Headland, Seth endeavored to make her see the dangers her behavior presented to her and her unborn child. But, to no avail.

When destiny deals a cruel blow, and the life of a newborn baby hangs by a thread, Seth and Elijah are flung together to deal with the tragic circumstances. The grief threatens to consume them, while joy and fear work to unite them. Jealousy, love, lies and bitter truths rise to the surface and threaten to tear them apart. Can the powers of love and life bring them together and heal the loneliness that death leaves behind? Or will circumstance prevail and fuel the embers of love that draw them together?
