Frightening, but true. We do try and change ourselves for other people, but what’s the point? You have to stay true to yourself or you’ll just cancel yourself out!

Americans Try To Place European Countries On A Map
:( :( :( :( At least the U.K. office didn’t fare much better with U.S. states.
Yeah, okay, so I’m not much better and I’m European! Geography was never one of my strong points lol. It’s central-eastern Europe where my difficulties lie :P Oh well, who cares? I mean, really? :P As long as you know enough to find your way back home… :D

Make Your Own Xmas Tea Bags
You know, I’ve already shared this on Pinterest, but I had to reshare on here too. I love this idea. So simple, yet it’s a really individual idea. Plus, if you’re crap at prezzie shopping *coughs* then it’s so easy. I’d much prefer to do this than traipse around shops. :D

So true! Even though I’m an erotica/romance writer, it doesn’t mean I’m languishing away, waiting for my Prince Charming!
Okay, the fact I’m an erotica/romance writer means I believe in Prince Charming (lol), get over it! But hey, I ain’t no wallflower and I don’t need someone to buy me posies! So there! :D

Has the mystery of the Hanging Gardens of Babylon been solved?
For centuries, historians believed the garden was located in the Babylon province in Iraq, yet closer analysis of ancient texts pinpoints it 350 miles away in Nineveh.
This is one ancient wonder I would love to visit. :D

HOLIDAY PARTY BLOG TOUR & GIVEAWAY: Temptation by K.M Golland!
Temptation by K.M. Golland
Description:
This book is for mature audiences 18+ It contains explicit language and sexual content.
Sometimes being happily married and completely content is not at all what it seems.
That is what 35 year old, happily married, mother of two, Alexis Summers finds out when she decides it is time to return to work.
After being a stay-at-home mum for the past nine years, Alexis now realises a complete career change is just what she needs.
She becomes a Concierge Attendant in a prestigious hotel in Melbourne working for the owner of the hotel, Bryce Clark. He resides in the penthouse, is extremely hot, and is a man who always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Alexis.
She does a relatively good job resisting Bryce at first, but the undeniable chemistry, sexual tension, and playfulness between the two of them is intense. He has copious amounts of money, sex appeal and above all else, is a genuinely nice guy. Bryce has been waiting for his one true love to come along, and he is positive that one true love is Alexis.
There is one problem; she is happily married to Rick, and no matter how strong her feelings are for Bryce, she is adamant she will not cheat. She draws a line in the sand, but finds it increasingly hard not to cross. Will she succumb to Temptation?
Excerpt:
“The Charger is open, hop in,” he said with a smile.
“Really? Argh!” I squealed with delight. If I could have performed a series of backflips, I would have been tumbling right through the garage.
I pushed in the button on the handle and opened the door. The black leather was pristine, and I could pretty much see my reflection in it. I sat down in the driver’s seat and placed my hands on the steering wheel. It wasn’t small, thick and chunky like they are made nowadays. It was large, round, thin, and hard.
I closed my eyes and put my head back while gripping the wheel. Oh, this is so good. I’m in Heaven. Almost instantly, I felt Bryce’s hand on my neck, and I couldn’t help but let out a soft cry of pleasure. Keeping my eyes closed, I felt him trail his finger up and down my throat.
Opening my mouth as he moved it across my lips, I bit down gently as he placed it on my tongue. He removed his wet digit from my mouth, trailed it back down my throat and in between my breasts, where he slipped it into my bra and gently massaged my nipple. My eyes remained closed and my breathing became quite ragged. I wanted desperately to open my eyes but couldn’t—if I had opened them—I would’ve stopped him. It just seemed that closing my eyes made it acceptable.
He removed his hand from my breast, and the anticipation of his next touch was simply excruciating. I gripped the steering wheel quite hard as I waited for him to replace his hand—which he did—at my knee, slowly moving it up my leg and underneath my skirt. I had stockings on again, and when his hand reached the bare skin between my legs, I moaned with delight.
He leaned in the door and kissed my wanting mouth, then continued moving his hand up and underneath my underwear. Automatically, I tilted my pelvis up to give him easier access. This was my ultimate fantasy, he was my dream guy and he was about to finger-fuck me in my dream car.
As he touched my soft, sensitive clit, I groaned out loud. The sensation was unbelievable and more so when he entered me with not one but two fingers, stretching my inside in a circular motion. Holy Fuck! I’m gone. I arched my back, and my hand—moist with sweat—slipped from the steering wheel and landed on the horn. The loud beep forced me to open my eyes, and I was jolted back into reality, recognizing I had just had another daydream. Shit, Alexis, not again.
I quickly gathered my bearings and this time, I found that Bryce really was at the window. I was perspiring and literally coming down from a climax. I was hot and wanting, and my chest was heaving. I threw him a look of lust, which didn’t go unnoticed as I opened the door of the Charger, forcing him to step back. I got out of the car and stood with my back against it. Bryce was leaning against the Bel Air, staring at me. I couldn’t do or say anything, what I’d just experienced in my reverie was so overpowering, I had no control whatsoever.
His hands were splayed on the door panel, and I noticed them both arch and tense up. The look he directed me asked one thing and I couldn’t refuse.
“Yes,” I sighed in surrender.
Expecting him to pounce as his body language suggested it, instead I watched as he moved slowly and with deliberate control. It was so fucking sexy, and it just added to my already uncontrollable need for him. He grabbed my face and kissed me with such passion that I nearly convulsed on the spot.
I gave in to the kiss, feeling that I needed to and owing us both the experience of it being consensual. He broke off momentarily and looked into my eyes, and when I didn’t protest, he kissed me again but with more lustful aggression. His hands fell to my arse where he gripped me and lifted me up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, once again. I’m sure I told him about an hour ago, this would never happen.
He placed me down on the bonnet and laid me back. Fuck me! I’m going to have sex with him on the bonnet! No. No. No, you’re not, Alexis. He hovered over me and ran his hands up my legs, pushing my skirt up and exposing my garter, stockings, and underwear.
“Fuck, Alexis, you’re so beautiful,” he professed as he rubbed his hands up my thighs. Then, grabbing hold of my underwear, he tore them apart. Oh shit, that was hot!
I was so vulnerable, lying their spreadeagled on his Charger bonnet with nothing to cover my wet pussy.
Slowly, he moved forward, not taking his eyes from me, and that’s when I stopped him. “No, I can’t,” I cautiously sighed.
He froze with my hands resting on his shoulders and his head only a foot away from its target. He didn’t argue with me, nor was he pissed off—well he probably was, I know I was. Instead, he gave me his hand and helped me sit up.
“I’m sorry, Bryce, I want to. Fuck do I want to—but I just can’t do that, it goes against everything I stand for. I could never do anything like that behind Rick’s back.”
“I understand, Alexis.”
Now sitting on the edge of the bonnet with my legs still wrapped around him, I buried my face in my hands. “How could you possibly understand? Even I don’t understand what’s going on here. What are we going to do? I can’t keep doing this to Rick, and I can’t keep doing this to you or me either for that matter.”
He pulled me to his chest. “I understand you have morals and have made vows you don’t want to break. I respect that, I truly do. It just makes you even more desirable.”
“Fat lot of good that does you.”
He kissed the top of my head. “There’s always a way, Alexis. You don’t get to where I am in life without being resourceful or thinking outside the box. If you won’t give yourself to me behind Rick’s back, then we’ll get his permission.”

Reviews to make you float high up in the sky...
Okay, melodramatic blog title, perhaps. But seriously. I’m floating. I really am. I’ve just read some new reviews that have been posted on GoodReads and wow. Also received a few messages from people, here’s an excerpt of one of them (used with the writer’s permission):
I sat up till 11pm last night reading book 2 and am halfway through book 3 now and cannot wait to find out what happens between Jake and Mona.
You are on the money, these rock!!!!!
Plenty of other lovely things have been said and I just find myself drifting in the clouds.
It was short and sweet and it was an absolute tragedy that I had to sleep in between because I wanted to just read 2-4 back to back completely.
In fact I cannot really come to terms with how I felt reading them, it was more explanatory than inhaling, but the right word just doesn’t come to mind.
Anyway I would recommend these books to all erotic romance lovers, as these absolutely rocked.
Walking on a dream…
Another 5 star book Serena, A big pat on the back for you, your awesomeness has shone through once again.
It’s a wonderful day to be a writer.

She knew what she was doing was wrong and yet… she couldn’t turn back. No matter how much pain she may cause, it was too late. Brooklyn and Bo, each unhappily married to others, must decide whether to stay with their spouses or give up everything for their love. Brooklyn’s husband and Bo’s wife would try everything to break them apart and it was then Brooklyn finally confronted her own demons and came clean with everything and everyone in her life… even herself."
CURRENTLY $0.99!!
“Brooklyn Rosen had high moral principles and was raised properly. Married for over fifteen years, those standards went out the window along with her fidelity when she met Bo. After becoming a self-proclaimed “Home Wrecker” Brooklyn left behind her marital home, along with the damage caused by her emotional wrecking ball. But the whispered remarks followed.
In “Home Wrecker: The Brooklyn Chronicles” we learn what shaped Brooklyn, the trials of an unhappy marriage and a deep abiding love that would not be denied. We meet a troubled, spiteful wife, who does not want to become an “ex”.
Will Brooklyn and Bo survive, or will all be lost to a bitter woman?”
ABOUT BRENDA PERLIN:
Brenda Perlin is an independent adult contemporary fiction author. Brenda evokes emotional responses in her readers by using a provocatively unique writing style. Her latest book, Home Wrecker, captures the soul-wrenching conflicts of a personal struggle for emotional fulfillment.
Ever since Brenda was a child, she has been fascinated with writing. She draws her biggest inspiration from Judy Blume. This sparked a passion in Brenda to pursue personal expression through writing. Once she was old enough to go to coffee shops alone, Brenda recalls losing herself in the world of writing, all while documenting her ideas on paper napkins.
“There is really no creative process, I just write,” – Brenda Perlin
Brenda’s first book, Home Wrecker I (Home Wrecker Chronicles), was published with Master Koda Select Publishing. Within a short time, the book developed a strong fan base and is continuing to grow as it both entertains its readers and leaves them in a state of profound reflection. In the near future, Brenda would like to have Home Wrecker I expanded into a trilogy in order to tell the untold stories of her characters.
