CRAZY LITTLE THING CALLED LUST On SALE!

Hey Everyone


Busy week, lots of stuff happening and I’m about a chapter away from ending the final part of Simone’s tale! And to celebrate that as well as the release of All That Glitters, Crazy Little Thing Called Lust is on sale for 0,99£/$/€!


I’ve had some truly awesome feedback about Fall Into Love since I ran the free promotion last weekend and here’s a few of the reviews that have popped up on Amazon and Goodreads!


Kimberly on Goodreads:


*****



Well I can saw WOW… DEFINITELY NOT FOR UNDER 18… Mona divorced hasn’t had sex in four years and two friends who really want her to let loose. Go to a bar and one night find a man Zane who she thinks is Mr. Right until the next day when she searches his name on the internet. 

VERY HOT STEAMY SEX…


Bexxful on Amazon


****



There are lots of romantic stories out there and I never tire reading any of them. This sexually charged one is nicely written with a little twist in, which has left me eager to start part two. Slow start but it’s refreshing and realistic. A normal looking woman with normal insecurities. Mona enjoys a night out with friends, after a near accident, luckily being saved by Zane a very charming guy. Thanking her would-be saviour she decides to ask if he would like something to eat. A late night snack with ‘hottie’ Zane, leads to an eventful evening for Mona.(Wags eyebrows) Superb read. Funny, sexy, exciting. Naughty Nookie, indeed!



So, if those reviews intrigued, and you’ve yet to indulge in some Naughty Nookie, why not give it a go now? :)

QUOTE OF THE WEEK!

One can live in the shadow of an idea without grasping it.

This is how some of my favourite story plots came about. Ethereal, they wafted in the air around me. And then, I caught them.

____REVIEW: Suzy Ayers: Master-bation, At Sir's Command____

REVIEW:  SUZY AYERS: Master-bation, At Sir’s Command


****




At forty or so pages, this is quite a short read, but hot, hot, HOT, all the same. In my honest opinion, and it sounds weird, but there’s too much sex. For the first part of a series, (the Torn series) I’d have liked to get to grips with Serena and Max’s characters. Ayers does place some intriguing snippets here and there, especially from Max’s point of view, but I’d like to know more. I get that it’s erotica, but from start to finish, it’s the lifestyle and Serena reveling in it. And while that’s great, I think I’d like to know more about Serena and why she’s actually entered the world of BDSM, when it’s so out of her safety zone. But I guess that’s going to come with each part that is released.


This is sex, at its finest. Well-written, creative. I expected hardcore BDSM from the cover art, but it wasn’t. Sure, there was some BDSM play and obviously this is leading on to a more hardcore Dom/sub lifestyle, but it wasn’t offputting. I didn’t appreciate Max’s calling Serena ‘slut’. I know, I know, it’s part of the scene. But I just didn’t like it. Especially as the sex wasn’t the aforementioned hardcore BDSM. It seemed derogatory… weird, I guess. Maybe that’s just me.


As the novella’s title suggests, this is good fodder for you know what! But for a one-off read, I need a bit more punch. However, fair do’s. Easily deserves 4 stars.


Find it here!

ALL THAT GLITTERS… MAY BE BISCUITS!


So, after the excitement from yesterday’s release of All That Glitters…, I couldn’t help myself! I had to spend some time in the kitchen to de-stress! Don’t ask me why, but baking does that. Nuts, I know! But it really works for me. :)


And today, even though I’m on a diet, I had to go all American. I’m British by the way, if peeps didn’t know that. But I’ve seen and read enough to hear about Biscuits with Sausage Gravy; so I made it! 


image


And from scratch! :D 


So, here’s my non-traditional, but super scrummy and semi-low calorific biscuit recipe, if you’d like to try it out. ;) 


So, firstly, preheat your oven to 230 degrees.


Mix:


85g white flour


1 tsp baking powder


1 tsp sugar


pinch of salt


pinch of black pepper


Add to a saucepan:


1 tsp brown mustard seeds


1 tsp nigella seeds


Once toasted, grind in a pestle and mortar and add to the dry ingredients.


Then, add to the mixture:


40ml olive oil (I used extra virgin)


80ml semi-skimmed milk


Once homogenized, you get kind of a wet dough. Separate them out into portions and place them in a greased baking tray. They yield 10 small biscuits. Bake for 11 minutes. Or until brown. My oven is quite temperamental. ;)  


Not the most healthiest and lowest calorific meal, but I figure they’re about 350 calories for 5 :) If you make, enjoy.


Although, I’m sure you’ll enjoy my series of erotic novellas a whole lot more ;)

RELEASE DAY!


All That Glitters… is out! Live on Amazon and here’s the blurb! 


With Mona gradually realizing that life is a fickle mistress, she knows she has choices to make. Choices that will change her future forever. And regardless of the chaotic tangle of her affair with Zane, she still wants and needs him to be a part of her present. 

But with news of their affair having hit the gossip columns, Mona knows there’s little to no chance of that happening. Where once the future was bright, now it’s bleak until the remarkable occurs. A stranger who’s not so strange turns up at her door and offers her an alternative path. 

To Mona, being a kept woman was as unorthodox as could be, but what Zane’s husband, Jake Harris, suggests makes less sense than Martians taking over NYC. In fact, he might as well propose that she turn green. 

But for Zane, is she willing to do the unthinkable? 

Is she willing to take on sex god no. 2 to retain no. 1? 


And incredibly, I’ve already had a review on Goodreads



Downloaded this morning and was transfixed! Eagerly awaiting the final part!

LET THE NERVES BEGIN…

LET THE NERVES BEGIN…



Part three of the Naughty Nookie series is currently under review by Amazon, so hopefully, in 12 hours, All That Glitters will be live for people to buy and read and even better, enjoy! :D 


Even though this is the third time I’ve self-published something, I can’t deny, the nerves never go away!  But, what keeps you going, are the reviews. Negative ones, of which I haven’t had any (Thank God) although some criticism - push you down and the good ones, well, they lift you to the top and remind you why you’re doing this.


Fall Into Love received two reviews recently, one stating: 



I loved the humor she brought to the story, and the fact that it didn’t have a foo-foo-sugary-sweet ending. And that there was a story behind the erotica.



4 star review


And another:



I really enjoyed this book. Although it was a free purchase, I would’ve paid for this one. Can’t wait to read the next one!



5 star review


Part three is a longer read than the first two novellas and it details the crazy turning point in Simone’s life that the first two stories have only hinted at. I hope you check it out, when it’s live. I’ll be updating all my sites with the links :)


Thanks everyone for your amazing support!

APOLOGIES…


To my regular readers, I just want to say sorry! I’ve abandoned you, but I have good reason. I promise. A nasty fall and a few weeks later, I’m back on track. Thanks to my handy dictaphone, I’ve managed to write part four of the Naughty Nookie series, whose title has yet to be released!!  But I’ve scribbled and scribbled (or in this case, chatted and chatted to the wall as my dictaphone listened) and the story is on the brink of completion after having transcribed it! What a nightmare that was, lol. But regardless, woohoo as this one is a full length novel!


All That Glitters will be live on Friday; it’s been edited and proofread and forged into shape and, the complex lives of Mona and Zane will start to take further shape for the readers… Complicated has never been so hot!


Of that, I promise you!


So, my apologies, guys and gals, but I’m back!! Hope you enjoyed the silence, while it lasted. LOL.


TTFN! :)
