Author Q&A:


              Please tell us a little about yourself….I’m a tenacious Irish lass who loves to break all the rules and make life happen....my way.

              How/when did you decide to write? I’ve always been a storyteller...but it wasn’t until 1983 that I started to put words on the page. I didn’t submit until I felt ready and knowing the importance of your first book making or breaking your career, I didn’t rush to market...I waited until I found the voice I knew would grab my readers...and I did with my first erotic-romance submission, Sinful Surrender.

              What is one thing about you that your readers would find surprising or never guess about you? That I’m really very shy, and though I spent my life in the public, I prefer being a hermit.

              Tell us a little about your latest book/release/WIP? Exposed Ecstasy to be released on Dec. 15th is the third book in my Psychic Ménage Series. It takes the readers from the Airbornes world into the world of the Star Riders and uncovers some of Faerydae’s secrets. Faerydae is a character that popped in and out of books one and two enough to make the readers curious about him and his world.

              The wip I’m working on right now is book four of this series, that I’m hoping to get to market by midyear.

              What’s one thing that you enjoy most about writing? The creating of worlds and people. And hearing how my readers love the stories...how the characters touched them. Least? Trying to wear the many hat’s authors today have to wear...Promotion of our books takes up a lot of good writing time and sucks the creativity right out of you.

Quickie Questions

Counting Cowboys by Lacey Wolfe -Author Q&A and Review

Counting Cowboys
by
Lacey Wolfe

Can a hot cowboy convince Lauren to stay in Texas and take another chance on love?

counting cowboysTucker Carver likes to have fun and has no intention of settling down anytime soon. He handles the business side of Carver Ranch for his family, and on the day he's scheduled to meet with their accountant, he instead meets a beautiful woman who changes everything.

Lauren Ford packed up and moved to Texas to start over after her fiancé had an affair with her best friend. Her father's retiring and has offered to let her take over his accounting firm. When she meets Tucker she's immediately taken with him, despite his reputation as a ladies' man. Knowing she isn't looking for love, or even if she wants to stay in Texas, she decides to have fun with Tucker and keep her feelings at bay.

After one taste of Lauren, Tucker has other plans. Lauren is the woman he wants, but for some reason she's resisting. And it doesn't help when her ex-fiancé shows up in town wanting her to go back to Georgia with him. Can Tucker convince her that his feelings are true, or will he lose her forever?

Content Warning: contains adult language and explicit sexual scenes

Review:

Oh My! Lacey Wolfe sure does know how to write the perfect book boyfriend! I so want to get my hands on Tucker and keep him all to myself! 

Lauren moves out to Texas to help her dad and to run from a really messed-up relationship. Tucker is known for not being the settling down type of guy. For Lauren, this is the perfect situation to have some hot lovin' with no strings. This book has fast horses, fast cowboys, lots of honkey tonkin' both in the bar and in the bedroom! 

Counting Cowboys was such a great read, I just couldn't put it down! Just think...there will be more from the rest of the Carver clan in the future...and I can't wait!

Q&A with Lacey Wolfe

• Please tell us a little about yourself…. Hi, I’m Lacey Wolfe and I write all kinds of romance. My goal is to have a romance for everything – sweet, sensual, and erotic.

• What is one thing about you that your readers would find surprising or never guess about you? I’m pretty chatty online, but in the real world, I’m very shy.

• Tell us a little about your latest book/release/WIP? Counting Cowboys is my latest release. It features Tucker – a hunky cowboy who never wanted to settle down until he met Lauren—who isn’t ready to settle down after just breaking an engagement. It’s a fun novella with some heated up scenes. It’s the first in a series, and the Carver family is one you’ll want to know.

• What’s one thing that you enjoy most about writing? Least? I love creating characters, giving them back story, and helping them find love. My least favorite is sometimes finishing the book. It’s easy to come up with the idea, but seeing it through isn’t.

• One thing (object, not people) you can’t live without? My cellphone or computer. I can’t be without some sort of technology. Especially the internet. I’m addicted and I admit it.

• One unusual item in/on/around your workspace? My workspace is in the formal dining room, which is also an area I put junk. It’s currently clean from the holidays and having guests, so at the moment the most unusual thing would be my Norwex cleaning paste, and empty box from DoTerra, and a pair of earring.


~EXCERPT~

Lauren stared at the papers in front of her, but none of it registered. All she could focus on was the half naked man. The hot, sweaty, tanned man who was now naked in his shower only feet away from her.
She shook her head and rubbed her thighs. Enough. It wasn't like Tucker was the first sexy man she'd seen. She wasn't blind or innocent, but something about him got her panties moist quick. Hopefully, she could make it through this accounting meeting without ripping her own clothes off and offering herself up to him. She had no doubt he would be an awesome lover. The man worked with his hands all day; surely he knew a thing or two that could please her.
Seriously, enough.
Lauren straightened her back and stared at the stack of papers he'd given her. There were receipts, printouts, and such. Tucker seemed to keep good records, so that would make things easier. She removed her computer from her bag and turned it on. After she pulled up the file for Carver Ranch, she studied it once more to familiarize herself with it.
This was a profitable ranch. Last year had been one of their roughest years, but so far, this year was already better. She was sure once she started to fill in the stuff he'd supplied her with, she'd see they'd come back strong from the previous year.
"Everything there?"
Lauren jumped in her seat.
"Sorry, didn't mean to scare you."
Tucker, now dressed, came over and sat next to her. Whatever soap he'd used attacked her senses in a good way. How did someone get out of the shower, yet still smell like fresh cut pines?
She shouldn't do it, but she did anyway. She let her gaze wander over his body. The black t-shirt he wore hugged his wide chest, letting her get the full view of his muscles.
Lauren looked away quickly. "Yeah, I think this is it." She flipped through the stack. "You're free to do whatever while I do this. I know you've got a lot to do."
"Can I get you something to drink?" He stood, and her focus went straight to his crotch.
Oh God. She glanced up quick to see him smirking. The man knew he was sex on a stick with his sandy blond hair and blue eyes. "Do you have some tea?"
"Sweet?"
"Uh, yeah."
He winked. "I'll be back."
"Take your time." The farther away he was, the more she could concentrate on her work. She wasn't sure what had come over her, but the sooner she got done with this job, the better. Then she wouldn't have to see him again until next quarter.

Want It - Rule Breakers #3 by Jennifer Chance - Review


Want It
Rule Breakers # 3
By: Jennifer Chance
Releasing December 9th, 2014
Loveswept


Blurb

In the latest tantalizing Rule Breakers novel from Jennifer Chance, an irresistible alpha male follows his ex into a deadly standoff—and reignites a heated affair.


For Erin Connelly, being a good girl isn’t such a bad thing. She’s working her dream job at a Boston art gallery and staying out of trouble, which is more than she can say for her deadbeat mom. Unfortunately, her mother’s latest misadventure lands her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Now the only person who can save her is the one man Erin has no business asking for help: the sexy-as-sin army ranger who just so happens to be her former high school sweetheart.

Zander James is no gentleman—and no officer, either, thanks to Erin. Four years ago, she made a call that terminated his highest aspirations . . . and their relationship. He’s never forgiven her, but when he learns that Erin’s embarking on a half-baked rescue mission, he sure as hell can’t let her go alone. Now, with a treacherous enemy lying in wait, the electrifying tension between them may just be Zander’s undoing. Because while he may be able to keep Erin alive, he can’t promise to keep his hands off her.


Review:

Want It has everything I look for in a book, action, intrigue, humor, turmoil between the H&H, and of course some really hot lovin'! 

Oh and the cover? It deserves an award!

Erin has no clue what to do when it comes to rescuing her mother from a Mexican Drug Lord, so she tries to get some ideas from her ex, Zander - an Army Ranger, without actually getting him involved! Zander is not falling for Erin's vague questions and asserts himself right back into her life. He goes all Alpha on Erin (which I loved) and takes over her plans for a rescue. While all this is going on, Zander & Erin also have to work through their troubled past.

Can they do it? 

You will just have to read the book to find out!

Razed by Shiloh Walker - Review


Razed by Shiloh Walker

Tattoo artist Keelie Jessup can handle that someone else has claimed the man of her dreams. She’s just not pleased with her remaining options…

Keelie doesn’t believe in the “perfect man.” But the men who are worth the trouble are usually taken—like her business partner Zach Barnes. After a string of bad luck and the lost chance with Zach, Keelie decides that maybe flying solo—and living with suppressed desires—is the key to happiness.

As a photographer, Zane Barnes has an eye for the human form, and his eyes can’t get enough of Keelie’s curves. Unfortunately, Keelie is like most women—always fawning over his little brother, Zach. Zane is about ready to give up, but then a few stolen moments at his brother’s wedding have him thinking maybe there’s a chance there after all. Now he just has to prove that the perfect man does exist…for her.



Review:

I loved, Loved, LOVED the first book in this series Wrecked, and I knew back then that there had to be more from the Barnes brothers...I was so excited to find out Razed was coming out!

When we first meet Keelie in Wrecked, you could tell there was so much more to this character than what we are allowed to see at first. She is even so much more complex than I first thought and all I can say to that is WOW! Zane is a fairly straight forward kind of guy...what you see is what you get with him. He kind of lives his life day by day and doesn't exactly invest any energy into anything more...until Keelie invades his life & his thoughts and then it all changes!

Razed was an absolutely fantastic read! These characters had me cheering them on, I was emotionally invested in there outcome...and I love when a book does that to me. I wanted Keelie to find the love of her life! I was cheering Zane on when he decided to make all the changes in his life. This book will take you on a ride...one with a few unexpected detours.

Unwanted Vows by Beth Rhodes - Review & Giveaway


Enter to Win
$10.00 Amazon eGift Card & 
Ebook Copy of UNWANTED VOWS

To safely raise her daughter, Samantha Hollister must join wounded U.S. Army veteran Morgan Lawrence in rediscovering 
an old love that never truly disappeared. 



WOUNDED

Samantha Hollister is done relying on other people to take care of—or abuse—her. Her ex-husband is out of the picture now…like her family home, the haven she intended to seek. Her father just sold it to her high-school sweetheart, the man who abandoned her many years ago for the army. The man who still makes her heart flutter. But Samantha has vowed to never be led astray again. She has a daughter.

WANTING

Despite being injured in action, Morgan Lawrence lives life to the fullest. Each day is a gift, and after five years he is finally one step away from opening a resort for wounded veterans like himself. Unfortunately, a woman stands in his way. And while she has changed, Samantha remains everything he’s ever wanted. Now it’s a matter of helping her see which promises are meant to be broken, and that being strong doesn’t mean one has to fight alone.

Review:

 Unwanted Vows was a sweet, tug at your heart-strings kind of story. Samantha has been through so much in her short life and every step she takes life seems to throw a roadblock in her path. Morgan is the town hero, an injured vet who, under the circumstances he has faced, should be the a bitter man...but he isn't. Together they are two halves of a whole. They compliment each other so well. But, can they see that?

I really enjoyed reading this book. It was a bit more "tame" than what I would normally read, but, I liked the change of pace. This book was so well written and the characters are so well developed, that they came alive for me. Unwanted Vows is a wonderful feel-good kind of book and I urge you to check it out for yourself.

Undesired Lust (Reckless Beat 3) by Eden Summers - Review


Title: Undesired Lust (Reckless Beat, #3)
Author: Eden Summers
Series: Reckless Beat
Release Date: November 2014



Blurb:

They used to be the perfect team.


Undesired Lust_525
Two years ago, songstress Sidney Higgins ruined her life by sleeping with not one, but two of the famous Reckless Beat men, Mason Lynch and Sean Taiden. Their night of intimate celebration turned into a worldwide sensation when the video Mason vowed to keep private was uploaded to the internet, destroying her squeaky-clean reputation and turning the world against her. Now she’s broken and left without hope, trying to find the one thing that can get her back on her feet.  

A mistake neither one of them is willing to forgive.  When the sex tape went viral and his best friends held him accountable, Mason bore the stigma of asshole with pride. Now, bitterness has destroyed him, driving away his muse and making him worthless in the industry he loves. There’s only one option left to reclaim his creativity, but that would mean collaborating with a woman who wants to castrate him with a plastic knife. 

A palpable chemistry even hate can’t diminish.  Forced to work together, neither one of them is prepared for the undesired lust which immediately takes hold. The lies fade away, exposing the truth; however, it also awakens a threat from their past. The person responsible for tearing them apart is back to ensure they don’t rekindle a spark. With their safety in the balance, Sidney and Mason need to determine what they’re willing to risk to reclaim a relationship they wish they’d never lost.


goodreads


Review:

WOW! I am not sure how this is possible but, this series gets better with each book! Mason has now moved up to the number one spot on my book boyfriend list.

OK, so Mason has quite a few things to work through before he made the top of my list, but we also wouldn't have a great book without his troubles and him be able to work it all out. I mean really...all he had to do was open his mouth and tell everyone (band mates & Sidney) the truth...but again we wouldn't have had this fantastic story if he had done that.

Can you all see how obsessed I am with this series? I talk about these guys like they are real people!

Now looking from Sidney's POV, I am not too sure if love could conquer all. I sure as hell would have made Mason work harder for my heart! And then we have Sean...the sort of third wheel in this story...I really liked the way he worked with Sidney to handle Mason. 

Undesired Lust has all the hot and sweaty bedroom scenes we are used to in this series, and as always the camaraderie between band mates is fun, dirty, & gritty. Eden Summers' writing draws you right into the story and makes you feel like you are right there as it is happening. When the printed word plays like a movie in my head, those are the best books in the world, and Undesired Lust is absolutely one of those books!

Cover Reveal - Sliding Into Second by Ella Jade

Sexy baseball players! I've got them...

I'm excited to reveal the cover for Sliding Into Second. 
This is Book 2 in my Kingston Heat Series
Trust me you won't want to miss these sexy, dirty-talkin', physically fit athletes.
 They know how to play on and off the field.






(Working blurb)


Jilted by him once before, but the second time 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 landed a job as the sports correspondent in Kingston, Rhode Island. Her first assignment is covering the newly crowned World Series champions, The 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 the two during their college years 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 coveted World Series title. With the victory comes more fame, women and exposure than he ever could have imagined. Things are about to change for the sexy, charismatic athlete. He never expects his high school sweetheart 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? 




Sliding Into Second is set to release on February 16th, 2015. But if you absolutely can't wait until then check out Book One in the series. Stealing His Heart is 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?
