Guests, guests, and more guests…
I have such fabulous guests lined up for you!!
Now, I know what you're thinking. With the holiday season finally over, you're probably thinking that you're sick of guests, right? WRONG! Because the guests I'm talking about won't be sleeping on your hide-a-bed, eating your food, or dirtying up your towels. What they will be doing is blogging about fun random topics, promoting new releases, answering questions, and maybe even giving a few things away. Seriously, you do NOT want to miss these guests!
Let me tell you what's coming up:
January 4th: Nicole Dennis will be here promoting her book, Cruising Adventures.
Gifted a cruise by his office partners, Doctor Connor MacKenzie didn't expect to be propositioned and seduced while steaming away from the Florida coastline. Only that is exactly what happens when he meets gorgeous cyclist Nathaniel Grant.
Agreeing to an erotic fling for the duration of the cruise, with no mention of last names or pasts, they enjoy one another. From Connor's lavish suite, throughout the GLBT festivities, when Connor becomes a drag queen's pageant escort, a foray in the gambling hall, and the elegant Captain's dinner.
Still, reality whittles its ugly way into their bliss. Nathan goes astray to see how strong the fragile bond can withstand. Can there be a life for them beyond the ship?
January 8th: Scarlett Parrish will be here promoting By the Book. I think Cole himself will be interviewing her, so you know it's bound to be good.
Two's company; three's allowed.
Reece Hutton conducts his life between the covers – of books and beds. A librarian by day, in the evenings he's a man whose tastes are anything but vanilla. So when local writer Daniel Cross appears in the library one afternoon with the aim of doing some research, Reece has a hard time not noticing how attractive he is, or what feels like chemistry between them. They exchange a few words and Daniel's business card, an interlude which Reece puts down to networking rather than flirtation.
After all, he has his girlfriend Georgia to go home to and her best friend: a threesome to help his birthday go literally with a bang. Reece, being a gentleman (most of the time), has no objection to returning the favour, especially as his new friend Daniel seems all too willing to be their third for the evening. Georgia sees their triangle as nothing more than a temporary bit of fun but Reece…? He'll eventually have to own up to breaking the unwritten rules of their relationship or close the book on a growing attraction to Daniel.
January 11th: None other than Z.A. Maxfield will be here talking about her brand new release, The Pharaoh's Concubine.
As mob boss Yvgeny Mosko's open secret, Dylan Anderson is happy enough with a passionate, if loveless, arrangement that affords him a life of luxury. But at thirty-six, he wonders how committed Mosko will be to an aging lover.
He finds out when a rival gang kidnaps him in a turf war everyone's sure to lose. Mosko unleashes deadly force, leaving no one alive except for a young man whose dark eyes tug at Dylan's heart—and the conscience he thought he'd excised long ago.
Though he tried to stop the kidnapping, William "Memo" Escobar knows Mosko will use what's left of him to send a powerful message to his rivals. When Mosko's pampered pretty boy risks everything to help him escape, he can't believe his luck.
Williams figures he's better suited to life off the grid, but as the days go by he begins to realize Dylan's beauty is more than skin deep. And as Dylan coaxes more and more beguiling smiles from William, he yearns for things—like family ties—he'd thought were best forgotten.
Yet behind their newfound happiness lurks the certain knowledge that no matter how careful they are, Mosko will come for what's his.
January 18th: Rachel Haimowitz will be here talking about Anchored. (Cover art isn't available quite yet, but I didn't want to short-change her, so I'm posting a random hot guy instead. Isn't he lovely?)
Network news anchor Daniel Halstrom is at the top of his field, but being at the bottom of the social ladder—being a slave—makes that hard to enjoy. Especially when NewWorld Media, the company who's owned him since childhood, decides to lease him on evenings and weekends to boost their flagging profits.
Daniel's not stupid; he knows there's only one reason why a man would pay so much for what little free time he has, and it's got nothing to do with his knowledge of current events. But he's never been made to serve like that before, and he fears he won't survive it with his sanity intact.
He finds himself in the home of Carl Whitman, a talk show host whose words fail him time and again when it comes to ordering Daniel to bed. Daniel knows what Carl wants, but it seems as if Carl isn't willing to take it, and Daniel's not willing to give it freely. His recalcitrance costs him dearly, but with patience and some hard-won understanding, love just might flourish where once there'd been only fear and pain. Can Carl become the anchor in Daniel's turbulent life, or will he end up the weight that sinks his slave for good?
I'm pretty sure Rachel is planning a giveaway, so make sure you stop by. Also, you should go here to leave questions for her, which she will be answering here on the blog.
January 21st: Amy Lane will be here talking about her new release Talker's Redemption, and possibly talking about exactly what it is about those bad boys that draws us in.
Tate Walker's past is too painful to just disappear, even if his dream boy, Brian Cooper, is there to hold his hand. Brian does his best, but Talker—always good at avoiding his own pain—is having a hard time facing the truth about what happened when he trusted the wrong man at the wrong time.
When that truth resurfaces and lands Brian in the hospital, Talker is forced to make a choice. He can either confront every demon in his fragile, bleeding heart, or he can let Brian take the heat for him, just like he has from the beginning. But even Talker knows you don't leave your dream boy alone and undefended when he just saved your life, and he'll have to find the strength to take care of Brian when Brian needs him the most.
January 27th: Keta Diablo will be here answering a rather random set of questions I sent her, and promoting her novella, 
Long, Hard Ride.
Civil War divides a Nation. Grayson Drake has been sent by a covert spy agency from the South to break Marx Wellbourne out of a Union prison. Ordered to return Wellbourne to Richmond, 400 miles away, Gray soon discovers Marx is courting death from malaria and pneumonia. To complicate matters, the sinfully gorgeous Wellbourne is none other than the same man he coveted from afar four years ago in Charleston.
Pursued by the villainous warden of the prison, Major Darkmore, nothing is as it seems when intrigue, suspense and passion collide on the long, hard ride back to Richmond.
January 29th: Tiffany Reisz will be finishing off the month with a post she guarantees will be absolutely smutty. Tiffany is the author of Seven Day Loan, and I hear it is smokin' hot, for those who don't mind a girl in their smut. 
A trained submissive, Eleanor will do whatever her master commands…even spend a week with a stranger. Daniel has been a recluse since his wife's death, and Eleanor's lover thinks spending time with her will be therapeutic—especially since Daniel is also a Dom.
Despite her defiant streak, Eleanor can't resist giving in to Daniel's erotic demands. But while she'll let him have her body, she's determined to keep a guard around her heart. Even if Daniel wants to make Eleanor his permanently..
I think that wraps it up for January, but that won't be the end of the guests. Not by a long shot! In February there will be more, including (but not limited to) Tam and Jenre from Brief Encounters Reviews, Julie Hayes, and (I'm not even kidding here) the one and only Lynn Flewelling (!!).
See what I mean? Fabulous guests, and you don't even have to clean your house!
