A Little More About Me

What is your real, birth name?
Mitchell Davies, but everyone calls me Mitch.

How do you dress most of the time?
Jeans and cotton shirt. I like to be comfortable. Especially when on tour.

How old were you when you went on your first date?
Sixteen. I don’t think anyone in history has made more inappropriate comments than what I did on that date. I don’t know why it happens but my brain doesn’t work when I’m flustered.

What were you like in high school? What "clique" did you best fit in with?
I was the music geek that blended into walls. Nobody noticed I existed back then.

What is your favorite memory from adolescence?
My first kiss. Not because of the girl, or the magic in general, just because I got through the moment without making an ass of myself. Turned out I was a fucking awesome kisser.

Do you have a job?
I’m the lead guitarist of Reckless Beat. It’s the best fucking job in the world.

What are your co-workers like? Do you get along with them? Any in particular? Which ones don't you get along with?
I get alone with every member of Reckless Beat. Some are just more arrogant than others *cough* Mason *cough*

What is something you had to learn that you hated?
Dealing with groupies isn’t all it’s cracked up to be. That was a big learning curve. Especially when they’re breaking into your house, or car, or tour bus.  Women can be scary as shit.

What annoys you more than anything else?
Mason Lynch

What would be the perfect gift for you?
Another Gibson acoustic. You can never have too many guitars.

Do you have any pets? Do you want any pets? What kind?
I’d love to have a dog. Something big. Unfortunately, the responsibility is hard when you spend a lot of months touring.

What habit that others have annoys you most?
Is being an arrogant motherfucker a habit? Because Mason never stops, and yeah, I find that fucking annoying.

What kind of things embarrass you? Why?
I get flustered easily, which usually leads to me saying inappropriate shit that I immediately regret.

Do you currently have a lover? What is their name, and what is your relationship like? What are they like? Why are you attracted to them?
Alana Shelton, aka the woman who owns my soul. She’s everything. That’s the only way I can describe her—she’s everything.

What is more important - sex or intimacy? Why?
Both are necessary, so I suppose they are equally important. You can learn a lot about someone when you’re at your most vulnerable, whether it be during sex or cozying up on the sofa.

What is your current long term goal?
To pull Mason’s head outta his ass.

If you were a mundane person, what would you do with your life? What occupation would you want, and how would you spend all your time?
If I couldn’t play music, I’d love to teach it.

Rescue Me, Second Chance Ranch Book #2 by Catherine Mann - Review

Rescue Me
Second Chance Ranch book #2
by Catherine Mann

A rescued dog returns the favor in the latest Second Chance Romance from USA Today bestselling author of Shelter Me.
Detective AJ Parker left undercover work in Atlanta to join a small-town Tennessee police force, hoping for an easier workload and the solitude of his cabin. But the scars left by AJ’s previous work are more difficult to escape than he thought…
Mary Hannah Gallo works with the Second Chance Ranch Animal Rescue to train therapy dogs for traumatized patients. It isn’t easy, but her life is under control—until she meets the broodingly sensual AJ, who rattles her composure all the way to her toes.
After an assignment confiscating dogs from a backyard breeder reveals a dangerous drug operation, AJ must work with sexy perfectionist Mary Hannah to train an abused rescue dog—a dog now named Holly. While Holly proves to these two very different people that opposites can, in fact, attract, she also knows more than a few explosive secrets that could heal—or divide—the entire town.

Review:
Rescue Me is the most extraordinarily heart-warming story I have ever read! I laughed, I cried, I felt good about life after finishing this book. Catherine Mann takes you on a journey of second chances for the people and the pets through out this book.
Reading from the perspective of Holly was so emotional for me, It made me hug my rescued fur-babies & shelled-baby just a little bit more. (Yes, you can hug a tortoise & mine gives cuddles right back!) AJ & Mary Hannah's story shows how two completely opposite people can come together and make each other whole again. 



Please take a moment and check out the FB page of Sunshine State Animal Rescue, a wonderful place that is near & dear to Catherine Mann's heart! Do a little something for those who can't do for themselves. A few months back, my daughter & I collected towels and brought them to our local shelter (the same place we rescued our 2 kitties) it was something simple & easy and very much needed by the shelter. If you cannot adopt then volunteer some time, donate some kitty or doggie toys, even a container of litter.

Wonderland, Taken by Passion, King of Hearts by Cheyenne McCray writing as Jaymie Holland - Review

Wonderland
Taken by Passion
King of Hearts
by Cheyenne McCray
writing as Jaymie Holland


After being cheated on yet again, full-figured Alice O'Brien no longer believes she’ll find her Prince Charming. She resolves to enjoy men, but refuses to involve her heart. 

When she literally tumbles down a rabbit hole, she finds she has left her familiar home city of San Francisco. She has landed in a strange and beautiful world, where she meets a powerful and dominant shapeshifter, Jarronn, and his equally fierce and irresistible brothers. 

By the draw of a card foretelling his kingdom’s future, Jarronn has deliberately lured Alice to his realm in hopes of averting a terrible danger threatening his people. He has every intention of saving his kingdom with his and Alice’s bond of passion, and nothing will stop him from making her his Queen of Hearts. 






It’s Feb. 2015 and the Wonderland series is back, better than ever! The award-winning “Taken by Passion/King of Hearts” novel has been expanded by almost THIRTY PERCENT of never-before published material. That’s the equivalent of nearly SIXTY PAGES of new and expanded scenes! 


More great news for Wonderland fans: as countless readers have requested, a new fifth book will be coming soon in the series, entitled “Owned by Fire.” 

St. Martin’s Press published “Taken by Passion” in trade paperback only, with the pseudonym Jaymie Holland. Ellora’s Cave published the series primarily in e-book, the first as “King of Hearts” under the name Cheyenne McCray. Neither version had the new and expanded scenes. 

Taken by Passion/King of Hearts has won numerous awards and accolades, including the “RT Book Reviews Magazine Reviewers’ Choice Award!” 




Review:

Wonderland is NOT the childhood fairy tale of your youth, it is the titillatingly erotic grown up version of what you may remember...with a few twists.... and oh, those twists are HOT!

I read the Wonderland series many years ago, when it was first published by Ellora's Cave. I was so excited to read Taken by Passion/King of Hearts again now that it had been expanded. It is just as fabulously hot as I remember and even more so now with the additional material!

After reading this super sexy book, you will be smiling like the Cheshire cat and people will be wondering what you have been up too!







Author Info:



Jaymie is the alter-ego of New York Times bestselling author Cheyenne McCray.
Several of Cheyenne's novels are being re-published under the name Jaymie Holland, plus you'll find many never-before-published books and novellas!
Jaymie's books are erotica with a dose of romance. They should come with a warning label and a set of oven mitts!

Sliding Into Second, Kingston Heat #2 by Ella Jade - Review & Giveaway



If you're into hot, dirty-talkin', sexy baseball heroes I may have just the thing to quench that thirst...



Have you met my players? 

Available now for a limited release price of .99 cents...

Sliding Into Second


Jilted once before, now it's her turn to level the playing field.

Hotshot sports reporter Sage Millan has been busy making a name for herself in the male dominated world of baseball. She's just landed her dream job, and her first assignment is covering the newly crowned World Series champions, The Kingston Crushers. This is the opportunity of a lifetime. The only problem…her ex-boyfriend, and the only man she's ever loved, is the team's second baseman. Things ended badly between them, and she's not sure she can put those demons to rest.

Professional baseball player Nicolas Cordova is having the time of his life. His team has just won the World Series, and with the victory comes more fame, women, and exposure than he ever could have imagined. But things are about to change for the sexy, charismatic athlete. He never expected his ex-girlfriend to walk back into his life, much less the locker room.

These days Sage is smarter, more mature, and doesn't plan on being played a second time. Her appearance stirs old memories for Nic. She's the one he let get away in the name of his career. He vows he can be the man she needs this time around. Will that be enough to mend her broken heart?

Excerpt...

“I’ll admit I’ve had many women in the past, and I can’t apologize for living. But as the years went by, my feelings for you were always someplace deep in my heart. I know that’s why I can’t settle down. Why I can’t find the peace I’ve been searching for. It doesn’t exist without you.”
“How can you say things like that? You don’t even know the woman I’ve become. I’m not that girl who relied on you, the one who would’ve followed you anywhere. I’m not her anymore, Nic. I can’t ever be her again.”
“Maybe I’m not asking for her.” He leaned closer to her face. “Maybe I want to know the woman you are today. I want another shot at this.”
“No,” she whispered.
“If you remember anything about me, I have a hard time with that word.” He tipped her chin, focusing on her lips. “I am going to kiss you. Right here and right now.”
Her knees buckled as a cool tremor swept through her. She wanted to say no. It was the only logical word to mutter, but her heart didn’t want her to say it. Her body wasn’t on board with turning him down either. The warmth that built in her stomach had moved lower, and now all she could think about was his lips on hers.
“It doesn’t sound like you’re asking,” she breathed out.
“I’m not.”
Before she could say anything else, his mouth was on hers, eager, but slow and soft. His stubble grazed along her chin as he tilted his head and deepened their bond. The sound throughout the crowded lobby seemed to fade into the background, and soon, all she could hear was her heart pumping loud between her ears. Why did he have to be such a freakin’ good kisser?
After the incredibly long connection, he pulled away, but not before stopping to kiss the bottom corner of her mouth like he used to.
“I’ve waited a long time to do that,” he said. “It was worth every lonely minute.”
“I... Nic...” She’d always had the gift of words. It was what she did for a living, but in that moment, all of her thoughts were jumbled and senseless.
“It’s okay.” He grinned as he stroked her cheek. “Let’s get something to eat and maybe figure this out. Whatever this is.”
“No.” She ran her hands along his strong chest, resting them on his shoulders.
“Don’t over analyze this, baby.” He glanced down at her hands on his body. “Let’s just go with it.”
“That’s what I’m trying to tell you.” She took a breath and continued before she lost her nerve. “Take me upstairs to your room. I know how we can figure this out.”
“What are you asking?” He placed his hand on the small of her back, drawing her closer to him. “You need to be real clear.”
“I want to go upstairs with you.”
“That’s not why I kissed you.”
“Isn’t it?” She smirked. “We’re adults now, Nicky. Let’s settle this like adults.”
“I’m not looking to settle anything. That usually means it’s over, and we’re nowhere near over.” He motioned for Joe. “I’ll take care of the bar tab and then we’ll get dinner.”
“No.” She draped her arms around his neck, intoxicated by the idea of being so close to him again. He may be older now, and may have lost those boyish looks, but the man he had become suited him and drove her wild with need.
“What did I tell you about that word?”
“I can guarantee I won’t be using it once we’re in your bedroom.” She ran her tongue along her top lip. “I’m going to the ladies room. When I come out, if you’re not by the elevators waiting for me, I’ll know that kiss was nothing more than the heat of the moment and we can go on with our lives.”
“Sage?”
“Shh.” She pressed her lips to his. “Now who’s over analyzing?” She reached for her purse and coat hanging on the back of the stool. “I’ll see you in a few minutes.” I hope.

Review:

Sliding Into Second was a super sexy, fun, fast, read. Once I started, I couldn't put the book down. 

Sage and Nic have a second chance at love. Will Sage give in to Nic's hot persuit? Can she put aside their past to live and love again? Or will the secret Nic holds come between them forever? I understand why Sage would hold back from a meaning relationship, she was burned by Nic in the past. But, Nic is just so awesomely sexy and so into her...how can she resist! I wouldn't be able to!   *sigh*   I absolutely adored Sage's sister, Rosalie. She was hysterically funny and I happen to know she will be getting her own book in the future...Can't wait!

What else can I say, except.....Ella Jade hit it out of the ballpark with Sliding Into Second!!!





This is book 2 in the Kingston Heat Series but both books stand alone and can be read in either order.

Book One... Stealing His Heart available now.

WARNING... Pax will steal your heart




Will the bad-boy pitcher strike out when it comes to love?

Shy music teacher Sophia Ballis has sworn off men. After a bad experience with a college jock she decided it was better to be alone than to get burned again. She focused on her education and now her new job at a local private school.

Professional baseball pitcher Paxton Hughes is a player both on and off the field. He's signed to the Kingston Crushers to bring home the coveted championship title. Nothing can get in his way. Serious relationships don't mix with a life on the road and he never loses focus on the game. One-night stands are his specialty for a reason.

While out jogging one spring morning, the two collide, setting their course in motion. Pax is immediately drawn to the unassuming beauty. Sophia is aware of his reputation and decides one night of meaningless sex with the attractive Texas charmer is just what she needs to get over her self-imposed dry spell. Pax has more than a one-night stand on his mind, but will his bad-boy persona and demanding schedule ruin any chances of a happily ever after?

Ella Jade has been writing for as long as she can remember. As a child, she often had a notebook and pen with her, and now as an adult, the laptop is never far. The plots and dialogue have always played out in her head, but she never knew what to do with them. That all changed when she discovered the eBook industry. She started penning novels at a rapid pace and now she can't be stopped.

Ella resides in New Jersey with her husband and two boys. When she's not chasing after her kids, she's busy creating sexy, domineering men and the strong women who know how to challenge them in and out of the bedroom.  She hopes you'll get lost in her words.

She loves connecting with readers. You can find her here…

They are the men of HOT!

Garrett “Iceman” Spencer didn’t join the Army’s elite Hostile Operations Team to babysit a spoiled rich girl, but when his superiors insist on assigning him to a senator’s daughter as her security detail, he has no choice but to comply.
It’s a shock to find that beneath the glasses and serious scowl, Grace Campbell burns hot. And Garrett, who’s been burned before, suddenly wants to immerse himself in the flames.
Keeping Grace alive—and keeping his hands off her—is a full-time job for this HOT soldier. Failure is not an option…
