Knowing Destiny -Tamsin Baker - Sexy Sunday Snippet

Please welcome Tamsin as she tells us a little about her newest release, Knowing Destiny. I've read a lot of books about shifters, but I don't believe I've read one with eagles and falcons. I love the premise and the cover looks amazing!



Blurb: 
Chase, a golden eagle shifter, is destined to be the leader of his flock, the shifters of the air. But he has a few problems. He’s not ready for the responsibility, he isn’t sure who he wants as his mate and there’s the little issue of an unsolved killing to sort out.
Ben is also a golden eagle shifter, Chase’s best friend and three time lover. He wants to be his best friend’s mate, but can he be honest about his feelings?
Ariana is a young peregrine falcon shifter who has loved Chase for years. But why would he want her when he can have anyone he wants?

Three shifters, three separate problems, all fighting to find out who they are and how they can love each other.
Sounds great! How about sharing a little snippet of the book - the sexier the better! 
Snippet: Chase’s heart clenched in his chest. Despite their need to talk about everything that had happened, Ariana was committed to them. He could hear it in her words, feel it in the way she touched him, touched them.Ben must have felt a similar thing, for he positioned himself and thrust into their female up to the root.“Ben!” Ariana squealed, gripping Ben tightly to her.A groan was ripped from Ben as he stilled. “You feel fucking amazing. So tight...”Chase covered himself with a condom and applied a liberal amount of lube.He knelt on the bed behind Ben, the pillow allowing his mate to be on his knees, giving Chase access. Ariana unwound her legs and let her knees drop open to give him room.“Open up for me, Ben.”Ben tilted his hips up and opened his legs. Chase covered his mates and set his cock to Ben’s arse. He placed his hands on either side of Ben and Ariana’s shoulders and whispered to them. “You’re both mine.”He pressed his cock head inside in one short controlled thrust and froze. Ben groaned and tightened around him. Chase took a deep breath and laid his forehead against Ben’s back. “Let me in, baby.”Ben relaxed a little, and Chase rocked his hips. He moved slowly into the scalding, tight depths of his mate until he was balls deep.“God, that’s good.”Ben didn’t respond, and Chase dropped a kiss down onto him.“Move with me, Ben.”He pulled out and slowly thrust back in.He heard Ariana encouraging them. “Please, Ben, make love to me, please.”This time when he pulled back, Ben moved with him, and together they thrust home.All three of them moaned.“Ariana, are you okay?” Chase panted, using his arms to hold his weight off them, conscious of not squashing either one.“Oh yes, please move faster.”Ben grunted and pushed back. Chase clenched his teeth and increased the pace.He was so far gone.“I’m never going to last. You feel so fucking good, Ben.”Ben gasped and thrust forward, and Chase followed.“Chase, I’m going to come. Fuck me, harder.”Chase began to thrust faster, pulling Ben with him and then slamming into him. Ariana began to scream. “I’m going to come, oh my God!” Her moans and thrashing spurred them both on, and with a synchrony that was amazing, Ben and he moved together, harder and faster until Ben arched, roaring out his own release while Chase rode him hell for leather. His balls pulled up near his body, and he exploded, bellowing his pleasure for the town to hear.

Sexy Sunday Snippet - The Wolf's Moon by Rebecca Brochu

Today we have Rebecca Brochu on the blog to share a sexy snippet of her Naughty Fairy Tale, The Wolf's Moon. I'm adding this one to my TBR list and I'm sure once you've read the excerpt, you will too! 


BLURB: Silke’s life in her village has not been easy since the death of her parents.  Things only get worse when the local healer takes her under her wing.  Branded a witch and tormented by the other villagers, Silke has resigned herself to living her life alone. Then a chance encounter in the woods with a dark and handsome stranger named Raoul throws Silke’s carefully ordered life off balance.  Now she has to deal with the stormy emotions that Raoul brings to life within her as she works at solving the mystery of who’s leaving gifts on her doorstep.  When the time comes, will Silke be willing to give up everything she’s ever known for a love that’s deeper than she’s ever thought possible?  Or will she reject the gift the wolf’s moon has given her?
Teaser Excerpt: Raoul growls low in his throat and yanks Silke’s body back up against his own as one of his hands forces her head to tilt back.  His lips close over hers, and there’s no hesitation this time, no gentle coaxing or playful teasing.  He dominates her mouth, tongue sweeping in and going deep as he licks at the back of her teeth like he’s chasing her flavor.  Silke gives back as good as she can as she digs her nails into his naked shoulders and returns his passion to the best of her abilities.
Silke almost doesn’t feel it when he begins to move them, but she doesn’t stop him when he begins to pull at her skirt, rucking it up until he can wrap large, hot hands around her thighs.  She moans and clutches at his shoulder harder as he lifts her without any effort and presses her back up against a nearby tree as he steps into the space between her thighs.  Silke gasps, breaking the kiss and bucking her hips up into the cage of his hands as best she can.  She can feel him, can feel his heat as he presses the hard line of his cock against her.“Raoul!”  Silke cries out and Raoul answers her by dipping his head down to mouth at her neck as he presses his hips down against her.  He racks the vulnerable, pale line of her throat with surprisingly sharp teeth before he soothes the sting with his tongue.
“Silke.”  She hears him murmur against the skin of her throat, but she pays him no mind, too caught up in the pleasure of having him against her.  Then one of his hands shifts and he trails it slowly up the soft flesh of her thigh, fingertips tracing lightly over her skin.  For the first time, despite how much she wants him, she feels uneasy, hesitant.
Raoul makes a soft noise and brings his face back up so he can capture her mouth again in a surprisingly gentle kiss.  When he pulls back his hand has stilled high on her thigh, the ends of his fingers just brushing her curls.

“I won’t take you, Silke, not here, not like this.  Just let me.  Please.”  Raoul sounds almost as if he’s pleading, as if he’s begging her to give him something precious.  Silke doesn’t want to deny him, doesn’t want to deny herself, so she looks him in the eyes and nods.

Board Stiff – Romance on the Go with Jessica Jayne

Board Stiff – Taking Advantage, Book 1 by Jessica JayneRomance on the Go – Evernight Publishing


Blurb:John Dorsey’s life is good.  He is the owner of Dorsey Construction.  He’s the youngest person on the board of directors for Advantage Insurance Company.  He lives on the beach.  And he knows he can have any woman he wants.  John’s got the world at his fingertips… except he’s yet to find a woman that stimulates both his body and mind.
Elizabeth Wright worked hard in a large Tampa law firm making a name for herself, but it came at the expense of her personal life. When Advantage Insurance Company offers her a job as corporate counsel, Elizabeth cannot turn it down.  The thought that she can have a successful legal career and a life excites and intimidates her.
But when their worlds collide one day in the Advantage board room, neither Elizabeth nor John knows what’s hit them.  All they know is they can’t stay away from each other.
Excerpt: 
          “Are you seeing anyone?  Sleeping with anyone?” he asked further.          “What?” she said, standing up from her chair.  Her face was incapable of hiding her shock at his questions.  Her green eyes were wide.  Her lips parted.  “What sort of questions are these?”  John’s stride made short use of the distance between them.  He stood directly in front of her, cornering her behind her desk.  He looked down into her green eyes.  They were gorgeous… she was gorgeous.  And he had every intention of claiming her.            “Answer my questions, Elizabeth.  Are you seeing anyone?”  He watched as her eyes widened even further with shock at his determination to get answers to his questions.  Nervousness flittered across her face, but her breath came out in short pants as if his close proximity affected her.  He watched as her chest rose and fell with each breath.  God, he wanted to feel her body against his.  He just knew she would feel perfect against him… in his arms.            “Your questions are inappropriate,” she replied sharply.  Despite her body giving her attraction away, she held firm.  He liked that.  He liked a woman that wasn’t too easy of a catch.              “I agree,” he said, impatiently.  “They are inappropriate.  I need the answers nonetheless.”            “Why?” she asked.  Her gaze scanned his face as if looking for the answer to her question.            “Answer me,” he demanded.  His hand reached out and caressed her cheek as if to soothe the harshness of his words.            “You are way out of line, Mr. Dorsey,” Elizabeth said.            “Yes, I know,” he said a little softer this time.  His fingers tucked a few strands of her hair behind her ear.  His gaze dropped to her bared neck.  He had to fight the urge to nuzzle the spot just below her ear.  “But I need to know if there are any obstacles to making you mine.  Are you seeing anyone?”            “No,” she whispered.  “I’m not seeing anyone.”  Her lips parted for a moment before she bit down on her lower lip.  That was almost his undoing.              “Are you fucking anyone?” he asked.  She released her bottom lip and sucked in a breath when he asked that question.  Her gaze fell from his eyes to his lips and then to her hands.  He placed his fingers under her chin and tilted her head up to meet his gaze again.  He wanted to see her eyes when she answered him.  There was heat in her gaze, and that thrilled him.             “No, Mr. Dorsey, I’m not fucking anyone at the moment,” she said.  Her voice was hard, but he heard the desire in it and that snapped his restraint.  His hand weaved into her hair until his palm gripped the back of her head, pulling her into him.  His mouth slammed down on hers.  Her full lips were soft and pliable, and his tongue flicked out over her lips to taste her.  She tasted so sweet…like candy.

Sexy Sunday Snippet - Lick Is A Four Letter Word

Sexy Sunday Snippet - Lick Is A Four Letter Word Help me welcome fellow Evernight Publishing author Erin M. Leaf and her latest work, Lick Is A Four Letter Word. 


Lick Is A Four-Letter Word blurb:
Felicity isn’t looking for love. Since her husband died several years ago, she’s been happy with her quiet life. Josh and Troy aren’t looking for a girlfriend, but losing a bet leads them into a tiny salon room with a broken lock and a nearly naked blonde named Felicity.When Josh, Troy, and Felicity keep getting locked into small spaces together, the heat between them goes from a spark to an inferno. Felicity isn’t sure she wants to try dating two guys at once, especially when she’s white and they’re not, but there’s no denying the attraction. The two men grapple with their sudden and unexpected need for her, and each other.Will a secret from Felicity’s past push them away before they come together? Will Josh and Troy be able to convince her they’re serious and that their love is hers for the taking?Be Warned: menage sex (MMF), m/m sex, anal sex, public exhibition
Lick Is A Four-Letter Word snippet: 
Josh grinned. He couldn’t help it. His heart gave a celebratory flip as he moved a little closer. “Cool,” he said.She laughed. “Cool?”He nodded. “Yes, very, very cool.” He touched a finger to her cup, then slid it out of her fingers. “Hold this, Troy, would you?” He deposited it in his friend’s hands before Troy could argue and turned back to Felicity. Her hair was done up haphazardly in a messy bun, with small strands escaping all over, and he thought she looked delicious. The pretty dress she was wearing emphasized her generous curves. He wanted to mess her up more. Instead, he gently cupped her cheek, tilting her face up to his. “You ready?” he asked.She nodded, licking her lips. Her beautiful blue eyes were wary. As he dipped his head down, he wondered what she thought of him, kissing her like this, and then his lips touched hers and all rational thought fled. She made a small, soft sound that went right to Josh’s dick and he deepened the kiss, licking into her sweet, sweet mouth. She let him in, kissing him back hotly. Josh groaned, his cock suddenly hard and aching in his snug boxer briefs. He moved closer, pinning her against the wall. She gasped as his erection touched her hip.“Still okay?” Josh murmured into her ear. He licked the soft hollow just beneath her earlobe and she nodded.“Yeah, I’m good.” Her hands were on his arms, trembling. When she slid them up over his shoulders and drew his head back down to hers, his hips jerked, grinding into her. She moaned quietly and he kissed the sound away. Everything around him faded: the elevator, the harsh emergency lighting, the sticky heat. He kissed her until he had to come up for air.“My turn,” Troy said, voice hoarse.Josh jerked his head around. Oh yeah, he thought. We made a deal to share. He blinked, trying to force his sluggish brain into action. Troy’s hazel eyes had a look in them Josh had never seen before: heated and desperate. Josh could tell he wanted Felicity just as much as he did. He cleared his throat and looked back down at her pink face. “Troy wants a turn.” His cock throbbed against her heat, and he really didn’t want to move away, but he’d made a promise. He always kept his promises.Felicity glanced at Troy. Josh watched as she licked her lips, thinking about it. When she nodded, he stepped back, letting Troy slot in front of him. Troy pressed the stupid cup into his chest and Josh barely caught it before Troy let go. The heat of his friend’s body had him shivering, despite the temperature of the elevator. He set the cup down in the corner and then leaned back against the wall next to Felicity. He wanted to watch them together. He wanted to watch Troy kiss her rather badly, actually.Felicity shot him a quick glance as Troy lowered his head. Josh stared into her eyes until they fluttered shut, and then Troy was kissing her, devouring her mouth with the same single-minded ferocity he brought to everything he cared about. Josh licked his lips as he curled his hands into fists. He wanted to touch them. He wanted to slot up behind Troy and press his aching dick into his friend’s spectacular ass. He wanted to kiss them both at the same time. He watched as Troy slipped his fingers into Felicity’s hair and growled. Felicity melted into him, her whole demeanor welcoming.God, she’s amazing, Josh thought, edging a little closer. He eyed his friend, enjoying the flex of muscles in Troy’s forearms. So is Troy. When his arm touched Felicity’s shoulder, he stopped moving closer and looked his fill. Troy’s full lips caressed her pink mouth, teasing and nipping. Josh pressed his other arm against his dick. It didn’t help at all.Troy lifted his head.Felicity had her eyes closed and her head back against the wall.“Josh.”Josh stared at them, body buzzing with arousal.“Josh.” Troy lifted his hand and touched Josh’s face.Josh startled. “What?”“Come on,” Troy said.Josh frowned, not understanding. Felicity had her eyes open now and was looking at him. Her mouth was wet. Did she taste like Troy? Even more arousing was the thought that Troy might have tasted him, Josh, on her lips.“Your turn again,” she whispered.Josh blinked. He’d love to kiss her again, but Troy wasn’t moving out of the way. He looked at his friend. Troy looked back, hazel eyes dark with heat. Okay, then. If he’s not going to move. “Yeah,” Josh managed to say, angling his body towards them. He leaned in.Felicity lifted her face up to his again. Josh’s hands shook as he moved it down her arm, grasping her hand. He gently pulled it up, placed it on his neck. “Yeah, like that,” he murmured when her fingers twisted in his hair. “I like that.”She smiled at him and he kissed her again, moving in even closer so that his body touched Troy’s all along his left side. He was close enough to feel Troy shudder, but then Felicity bit his lower lip and he lost it. All thoughts of self-control went flying as he shoved against her and his best friend, cock hard and desperate, lips needing to taste her. He kissed like he was dying, like she was air, and then Troy cupped his hand around Josh’s neck, too, and kissed Felicity at the same time.Their mouths dueled for a moment before settling into a three-way kiss that was hotter than any full-on sex Josh had ever had in his entire life. Troy tasted like Felicity, and like himself, and it was both familiar and completely strange at the same time. Josh’s heart stuttered in his chest when Felicity cupped his face the way he’d cupped hers, leaving Troy’s hand in his hair. When they came up for air, she bit her lip, looking from one to the other.“What did we just do?” she asked.Josh shook his head. “I don’t know.” He glanced at his friend. Troy was looking at Felicity, lips wet. “I want to do it again.”Buy links:

Sexy Sunday Snippet - Of A Darker Nature

Every Sunday I like to give you a sexy little snippet of a book. Today, I'm offering a peek at one of my own backlist titles: Of A Darker Nature. I'm currently working on its sequel so I hope you enjoy this little nibble ... :) 



“Do you ever wonder what something tastes like?” Emily asked, not quite looking him in the eyes.

He was beside her in an instant, pulling her up out of the chair.

His mouth closed over hers in a slow, deliberate kiss. One hand cupped the back of her head and he threaded his fingers through her hair. He tasted her deeply, crushing her against his body to make sure she felt his arousal.

“The problem with kissing you,” He claimed her lips again. “Is that it makes me hungry.”

Emily’s fingers bunched the front of his t-shirt. The rise and fall of her breasts tortured him. The flush of her skin and the quick rhythm of her pulse teased his senses. He wanted to do more than just kiss her. His teeth grazed her throat, bringing a soft moan from her.

She backed away, eyes full of lust and fear. What a tantalizing combination.

He allowed her to leave his embrace. He needed to get these silly thoughts out of his head. This girl should not be eliciting notions such as these. She was simply a pawn, perhaps a meal. Nothing more.

Emily sank into the closest chair and looked at him.

“What’s wrong?” He winced after he’d said it. What did he care?

“I can’t figure you out. I don’t know if you want to eat me or sleep with me.”

“If I said both?”




Blurb: With just one touch, Emily Cross can read the memories of the recently deceased. Working at a funeral home might not be the logical choice, but for her, it's a natural one. When she and her boss are attacked, the creatures she once thought were only folklore become all too real. Just as she's about to be drained of life, the cadaver on the next table rises and fights them off. Feeling a connection to the man who saved her, she makes it her mission to find him. As she delves deeper, she discovers a dark underworld full of vampires, magic and shape shifters.
Marcus Dane doesn't know how he ended up in a mortuary. As an Enforcer for the Mistress of the City, he has been following leads regarding a powerful witch who wants to exterminate his blood-clan. His fear that the witch has recruited some of his fellow Enforcers is confirmed and now it looks as though the witch will make her threats real. He counts himself lucky to escape the mortician and his lovely assistant because someone in the mortuary business disposes of vampires who are unfortunate enough to cross his table. 
When it all comes down to it, Emily now has a vampire she's romantically entangled with, a very angry Mistress who doesn't like to share her toys, and an incredibly powerful witch who realizes killing Emily is the gateway to what she wants. By the end, Emily will have to figure out who she can trust, who she has to align with even if she doesn't trust them and just who has the darkest nature of all.

Sunday Snippets with C.R. Moss

Sunset Heat - Sunday Snippet 
Today we have the talented C.R. Moss on the blog to share a sexy little snippet of her latest release, Sunset Heat. 


Feel the Heat in Las Vegas!

The Sunset ladies are back, and this time it’s Seana’s turn. She’s heading up to a resort on Mount Charleston with her cousin and a friend to participate in a 1NightStand date her other cousin set her up on. Get ready to feel the heat…
~ Blurb for Sunset Heat – a 1NightStand story from Decadent Publishing & book 4 in the ‘Sunset’ series ~(Book Content: Contemporary, Erotic, Chick Lit, Romance)

Can one night transform a woman’s life?
Seana Tramonto feels doomed when it comes to relationships. When she’s set up through the 1Night Stand service, she’s apprehensive at best. Her concern turns to ire when her match turns out to be a man who broke her heart years ago. Old wounds are slow to heal no matter how sexy the man asking for forgiveness.
Zachary Russo, a Las Vegas policeman, is talked into doing a 1NS date. When he learns it’s with his high school tutor and friend, the girl he stood up before the Homecoming dance, he’s determined to make it up to her. But seeing her again opens his eyes to the sexy woman she’s become. Can he prove he’s grown up or will circumstance beyond his control kill their second chance?


And now for the Sunset Heat snippet!! 
“I had it bad for you.”
“So, what’s your wish now?”
If she leaned toward him, turned just enough, maybe he’d kiss her. Did she have the nerve? What would he think of her advance?
“Seana?”
She closed her eyes, relishing the silky way he spoke her name. “Hmm?”
“Your wish. You’re going to enter the drawing the charity is having, right?”
“I can’t say or it won’t come true,” she murmured. Just move your face toward his. Do it! Though her inner diva cheered her on, she couldn’t.
“A superstition for shooting stars and birthday candles.”
“So? I don’t want to take chances.” Yes you do, her inner cheerleader chided.
He brushed his cheek against hers. Warm breath caressed her ear. Restless throbs of desire pulsed in her veins. Sexual excitement curled in her womb. It’d been quite some time since feeling those particular sensations. Who’d I do it with last? Oh, the guy in the off-Broadway showing of West Side Story. Antonio something or other. She’d almost told him she loved him, but his ex-girlfriend came back into the picture, which snipped her out of it.
Could Zach be her one? Even after all this time and despite their difficulties? Back when she’d helped him in high school, she’d wanted him and would have given him her all. She didn’t feel any different now. Turning her face toward his finally, she prepared for the first of what she hoped would be many kisses. None came. He wasn’t as close as she thought. Seana stared into his eyes, becoming lost in their depths.
“Seana?”
“Yes?” She breathed in his spicy, clean scent, wanting to nibble on the muscle stretching from his neck into the top of his white dress shirt.
“Tell me more about the tutoring room.”
“Why? Interested in playing out my fantasy?”
Zach rubbed her knee. His touch seared her skin under her black sequined dress. “But we’re not in a school. There are no classrooms to use.”
The scenario she’d envisioned as a young adult awaited her next move. If there’s ever a time to be bold and spontaneous, it’s now. Quit stalling and take the leap. Feeling naughty and way too frisky to miss the opportunity, she drew circles on his leg with her fingertip. “We can improvise by going up to your room or mine and pretending we’re in a classroom.”
Seconds clicked by. Zach didn’t say a word. Wasn’t he interested? Her palms became clammy. I can’t be rejected again.

New Release - Sin's Flower by Carlene Love Flores

Please help me congratulate Carlene Love Flores on her latest release, Sin's Flower. 

It's a pleasure to have you today, Carlene! Please make yourself at home and tell us a bit about yourself. 

Hi Michelle!  It is a pleasure to be here with you today.  I also have a soft spot for the gritty love stories and the Darkside of Romance that you have captured so well here at your cyber home.  When I first started writing romance, I thought maybe I should be doing paranormal because that’s largely what I love to read.  But instead of those predatory, delicious heroes of the night like vampires, shifters, and demons, my muse was being visited by rock stars and their journeys through the dark.  But the common element in my contemporary stories is definitely the dark, the gritty, and the need for redemption.  Thank you for helping me spotlight the second book in my Sin Pointe Novels series, Sin’s Flower!  Hope your readers enjoy the snippet.  Love Stories Rock! 
They sure do!! :) 

Sin’s Flower Blurb:
When Jaxon James, a sexy rock star and struggling single-father, is invited to ditch California and spend Christmas in Tennessee with his estranged family, he hesitantly accepts for his young daughter’s sake.  But his attraction to his best friend’s baby sister, Lily Elstone, threatens to unravel the bonds he’s made for his daughter.  The honorable thing to do would be to give up Lily.  But his instincts are telling him she’s exactly the one who could bring light to his life and the missing fire to his bed.  Unfortunately, Lily's too sweet for his world.  He fears his rock and roll life style will taint her. How far are Jaxon and Lily willing to go to find what’s missing at home?
Wow, Carlene, Sin's Flower sounds awesome. I love the idea of a sexy rock star daddy trying to juggle his career and a daughter. Thankfully, you've brought an excerpt for just a little taste of this fantastic looking (and sounding) book. :) 
Sin’s Flower Excerpt:Jaxon watched Lily’s hands sinking down into the sand from behind as hesitancy chopped up his steps.  Years of ending up in dire situations had made him a decisive man when he needed to be.  He was making one of those executive decisions right now.  It didn’t matter why she’d come.  And he was close to dismissing his reluctance over whose baby sister she was.  Not when she wore that swishing angelic lavender top that covered her from neck to shoulder to fingertip, driving him insane with curiosity.  God, and that flaming hair which had gone from neon just yesterday to a flattering shade of cinnamon temptation tonight.  His grip tightened around the folding chairs he’d gone to fetch.  Purposefully, he slowed down.  Then stopped.  Wanting her was one thing, but hurting this young woman was not okay.Standing back, he took another couple minutes to contemplate what could happen tonight.  What he could control and make happen.  He knew they should talk.  He just hoped she didn’t mind how close he intended on being to her while that happened.  His grip loosened and one of the folding lounge chairs fell to the sand.  There would be plenty of room for the both of them on the one.  He walked until he made it back to her side and unfolded the chair to its full length.  “Uh, hi,” she said shyly, her brow furrowing in concentration.“Hey.”  He sat down and held his arms out to assist her.  “Sit with me?”  He hadn’t given her much of a choice and caught her eye scanning the sandy trail where he’d come from.  “Yeah, I figured we didn’t need that one.”“Oh, okay.  Wait, just so we’re clear here.  You want me to sit, where exactly?”God, she would kill him tonight.  That amount of cute couldn’t be faked.  “Here, with me.”  Her eyes widened in disbelief so he scooted until he was flush with the back of the nylon chair and then opened his legs, letting one straddle each side.  “There’s room.”“You’re crazy,” she said shaking her head.He let out a faked huff.  His quick decision had been too fast for her and she wouldn’t believe this was his way of comforting her.  “I’ll go fetch the other chair.”She gouged her hand into her hip.  “Wait.  It’s just…I really don’t think I’m gonna fit.”A hurricane couldn’t have swayed her decision to stay put.  But she eventually bent her knees, bracing herself with strong hands, and lowered herself until her squeezable bottom met the chair.  Because he wanted her closer, he took the liberty of placing his hands at each side of her waist and scooted her back until she was flush with his chest and his lap.  On second thought, that was way too close.  Someone would kill him for the throbbing going on so close to their little sister.  He wiggled an inch of space between Lily and his now obvious and straining erection.  The last thing he wanted to do was leave her thinking he was incapable of a conversation without sex ending up front and center.  He had amazing amounts of control in that department.  It came along with all the years he’d practiced on the road.  Tonight, plainly put, he just wanted to be close to someone, to Lily.  And this was the way he knew how to do that.“So what did you want to talk about?” he asked.“I, I don’t know.”  It sounded like nerves had her.They didn’t have to start with words.  Fuck him for his appetite but he could say more by doing this anyway.  Hey you, horny fucker.  This is the part where you pat her on the head, say you’re sorry, and send her back to her big sister.  This is not the time for indulging.  Pack it up, Jaxon. Yeah, no questions about it.  That’s what he should do.

Sunday Snippet - Bitter Black Kiss by Michelle Clay

Bitter Black Kiss - Sunday Snippet 
The club’s newest DJ was absolute perfection when he worked his magic on the dance floor. And he was sexy as hell. Every time he bounced to the music or broke into a dance move, it sent waves of excitement through the mass of bodies. It sent something more furtive through her. She took perverse, voyeuristic joy in watching his body move.

Sometimes she caught his eyes on her too. A thrill of excitement would rock her senses and fill her with hope. Then he’d look away and spoil the fantasy. At times, she wanted to believe those looks said he was interested, but it was just wishful thinking on her part. Aside from a passing glance or quick hello, they had very little real interaction. Brody was hired help, not a hot, hard body to explore in the VIP area with the curtains drawn tight.
His honey brown hair was in need of a trim, but stylish. Headphones covered only one ear. Tonight he wore a t-shirt with a forgotten eighties band on the front. Baggy jeans with more holes than fabric hung off is slender hips. She could just make out the top of his boxers underneath the destructed waistband.A sea of bodies moved all around her, lost in the beat flowing from the speakers. They bounced against her, a living tidal wave sweeping her toward the lighted, elevated booth.
Brody was busy entertaining a group of women on the other side and didn't notice her approach. The women giggled and played with their hair in response to his flirting. Jealousy zinged through her. Aim some of that charm my way, dammit!
She yanked the ankle of his jeans to get his attention. The material moved down about an inch and the skanks cheered.
Brody turned and rewarded her with a devilish smile. He hauled her onto the platform with just one arm and his strength elicited primal approval within her. The space they shared wasn’t quite big enough for two people to move around comfortably and they had to stand very close. He leaned toward the booth and flipped a switch. She wasn’t sure which because she’d just grazed his butt with her hand. Even the smallest contact demanded all of her focus.
“I like the way you move.” Good god, what was she saying? She was in deep trouble if the slightest touch shorted out the filter between her mouth and brain. “I mean, everyone likes what you do up here.”He hung the headphones around his neck. An easy smile found its way onto his face. “I aim to please.”
She wanted to ask just what he might do to please her, but kept the errant notions to herself. Damn, he smelled good. It was a mix of outdoors, ocean and a delicious masculine scent that was all his own. And just below that, she detected… oh no. No, it couldn't be.

When she wakes in the hospital, she has a brand new life and a whole lot of unanswered questions.  Now she’s Micah Munroe, a real estate agent with broken memories of the messed up life she once lived. A mysterious man who claims to be Death says she’s his granddaughter and that she’s something called a grimm. Sully knows she’s an imposter because he reaped the soul of the real Micah only a week ago. He suspects she might be a misplaced shadow, what he calls spirits and vengeful ghosts. He becomes obsessed with finding out who she really is and just how she inhabited a new body.  He’ll stop at nothing to find the truth and send her back to purgatory where she belongs.  What he didn’t bargain on was how his body would react to her or how powerful the white light within her is.  When a powerful shadow and her horde of angry spirits kidnaps Sully’s best friend, they must work together to get him back.  Fighting their feelings for each other isn’t half as difficult as fighting the army of shadows bent on starting a war with the living.

MsRomanticReads Reviews Light the Shadows

 I loved this book. It had a spunky heroine, a scythe-wielding, biker hunk, a teenage ghost and one evil little girl, who could give Samara Morgan from The Ring a run for her money. Micah was a kick-butt heroine, who had every intention of putting her second chance at life to good use, starting with her new body and a makeover. Her teenage guide or Shepherd from the other side, Anna, was like a best friend, little sister and mother hen all in one. In short, she made an excellent “sidekick”.
