Book Spotlight on Stand and Deliver: Tales of the Highwayman by Marie Medina.

In the spotlight today is a great new book by Marie Medina called Stand and Deliver: Tales of the Highwaymen.

Well how do I describe this book...hmm how about ...think of those dark and mysterious Highwaymen, waiting in the shadows to take whatever they want from those passing by. In those traditional tales we see women falling at their feet, objecting to the high handed treatment they are getting but secretly wanting a kiss and to be ravaged.

Do you get the picture?
Marie's book is even better, with a sexy Highwayman who will stop at nothing to get what he wants, only this time Eloise might not be the damsel in distress!

Read the Blurb...

Eloise thought being whisked to another dimension by a handsome man would be a fantasy come true, but the gorgeous nobleman in question can’t even make her come. As she tries to figure out how to free herself of him, she begins to notice a masked man following her wherever she goes.

In this world of lords and ladies, should she be afraid when this dashing highwayman rides up and demands that she be delivered into his arms? Her brain tells her to be wary, but her body tells her that the ultimate fantasy might be within reach after all…

The cover is superb - look....




Ready for a tasty bite?

Adam watched Eloise closely. They were in one of the bedrooms of the abandoned Trancy manor, which served as Gerard’s home and headquarters. He had tied her, very loosely, to a chair with silk scarves. She’d made no effort to free herself. The looks she’d given him and the heaving of her breasts told him she was aroused, but he could tell she was embarrassed by it and trying to fight it.
“You aren’t screaming or trying to run away, my lady. I believe you’ve been looking forward to this meeting.”
She searched his eyes. “You’re no ordinary highwayman. I know your voice. You must have been at one of Theodore’s parties.”
Though he was glad she at least knew his voice, it bruised his ego a bit she couldn’t properly place it. “You’re right. I have only been a highwayman for a month. And there is only one treasure I have wanted to steal.”
Her eyes widened. “Really?”
He walked over to her and caressed her cheek, enjoying the feel of her trembling. “Yes.”
“There are easier ways to attract a lady’s attention.”
He went down on one knee and cupped her cheek more fully. “Like this?” He captured her lips, taking advantage of her gasp to fully ravish her mouth. She stiffened, but he held fast, and soon she melted in the embrace. She was breathless when he let her go.
The game he was now playing seemed to arouse her even more. “I believe I have your attention now.” He dipped his head down to kiss her neck. Then lower. He tightened his grip on her shoulder as his lips neared her breasts. Her heart pounded in her chest as his lips caressed the tops of the soft mounds. “Are you frightened, my lady?”
“That is a trick question.”
He looked up at her. “Is it?”
“You’re very good at seduction, but you’re also a kidnapper.” She took a labored breath. “And I’m a goddamned fool for not wanting you to stop.”
He laughed, though he could see in her eyes that she was a little afraid, despite her body’s reaction to him. “Perhaps, Eloise, your heart knows you shouldn't fear me. Don’t be angry at my little deception.” He untied his mask and let it slip from his face.

Sounds good doesn't it. Well the good news is there are TWO more books in the series so if one taste is not enough then you will be able to go back for more! I guarantee you will!

Welcome to Kayla Jameth!

Today I welcome Kayla Jameth who is one of the fantastic authors at Breathless Press. Her newest release is part of the Naughty Nursery Rhymes and is called From The Ashes. The cover is rather sexy!



I told you it was sexy!
Here is the blurb. 

Cinder never thought that he could rise from the ashes of his life, but an unexpected encounter with a woman claiming to be his fairy godmother may be just what he needs. Finding himself flung into his very own fairy tale, she sends him off to meet his Prince Charming. But was the gown really necessary? 


Ready for a bite?

Cinder glanced around. Paper lanterns floated in the trees, lined the walks, and graced the gazebo near the reflecting pool, giving the grounds a mystical air. Their warm glow caught the dancing jets of the fountain splashing merrily to his right. The musical, crystalline tones carried on the night wind’s breath. He was reminded of the enchanted gardens in the fairy tales his father had read to him when he was a child. What would happen to him if he dared walk there?
Henri led him toward the gazebo. Soon he would find out.
The cool breeze caressed his uncovered neck. Cinder shivered at the ethereal touch. Henri turned to him, the question clear in his eyes, but he didn’t know how to answer. Instead he breathed in the tangible scent of rich earth and flowing water, hoping to calm his bounding heart.
Henri lightly stroked his arm. Cinder’s breath caught at the silky brush of the other man’s fingers. He drew another shaky breath. Henri may have meant to soothe him; instead his touch set Cinder’s wayward body aflame.
They left the last of the courtiers behind as they entered the dim interior of the fanciful pavilion. Vines climbed its intricately carved posts, perfuming the air within. The music and voices of the aristocrats faded away. Only a single intrepid nightingale could be heard over the cheerful burbling of the fountain. Hidden from the rest of the court, an unworldly sense of peace filled him. Was his very own fairy tale about to come true?
Bespelled and bemused, he could feel the magic in every beat of his heart, in every trembling breath he drew.
Once inside the bower, Henri reached to cup Cinder's cheek. Unused to being touched, he nearly flinched away but managed to still, heart pounding, before giving himself away. The older man's thumb slid across his cheekbone and came to rest lightly on his mouth. Why did he want to lean into that caress?
The other man's warm, slightly musky scent filled his nostrils, drowning his senses.
Henri's other hand wrapped around his waist and drew him close. He leaned closer while tipping Cinder's face upwards. Cinder's breath left him in a rush, stirring the noble’s hair. Henri was all that he could see, his mouth slowly, carefully descending toward Cinder’s. If he allowed this, the other man might discover his deception. He couldn’t risk that, so why then did he ache to feel Henri’s kiss? Their lips brushed, light as thistle down.
Surprisingly, Henri's mouth was soft and warm upon his own. After a moment, it pressed more firmly against his. Something fluttered in his chest, trying to get out.
Cinder didn't think to pull away until he felt Henri's tongue seeking entrance. The hand on his face slipped to his nape and held firm. He froze in shock, not even daring to breathe, as flames rushed through his body. The very beat of his heart betrayed him.
The questing tongue stroked his lips and pushed between them. It slid over his teeth, seeking to enter. When he protested, Henri swept in and began a lazy, sensuous exploration that left him breathless.
Soon he found himself returning the caress. Henri responded to his fledgling attempts by pulling him closer and moaning into his mouth. He had never experienced anything so sensual and erotic. He fed his own needy pleas to the other man one at a time.
Finally they separated slightly, Cinder panting heavily, trying to catch his breath. Was Henri as affected by their kiss as he was? A quick glance confirmed Cinder was not alone in his arousal. Flushed and gasping, Henri gazed at him with eyes full of wonder and something unnamed smoldering in their depths.

#SexySnippets from The Nuthouse Scribblers


Welcome to the first #SexySnippets, part of the many things The Nuthouse Scribblers have in store for you this year.

This is a new experience for me so here are my seven sentences. They come from our first self publishing venture called Wine and Nine.






This is from Shona's story.

Malky followed, his large frame towering over her. He pulled the tie loose and moved his hand to her naked breast. Shona's breath quickened, she didn't know what to do. His hand was surprisingly warm against her cold skin as he stroked her breast, then flicked her nipple with his fingers. A groan escaped her lips as she delighted in his touch. It had been so long since a man had touched her, and she realized how needy she really was. She looked into his dark eyes and moisture gathered in her pussy. 


So what do you think? Has that whetted your appetite?

Here is the blurb.

Magic Mac and his Mystery tours, the brochure said. What it didn't tell the participants of this coach trip is that the quaint Scottish Inn they stopped at held a secret.
When you add women, wine, and men the outcome is never certain. Will it be happy ever after or is this just the beginning?
Find out in these nine scorching erotic short stories, guaranteed to raise a kilt or two.


Well why not check the book out. It is available from Amazon right now.

#NewClassicReads Blog Hop 2013!




Welcome to the Classic Reads Blog Hop!
Firstly I am delighted to be part of this Classic Reads blog hop sponsored by Terri Giuliano Long, Rachel Thompson, Molly Greene and Christine Nolfi.
I LOVE all sorts of books so this was a chance for me to get to know a host of new books.
The question that come to mind is What Makes A Classic Read?
I cannot say I have the answer to the question but I have my answer at the moment.
I suppose for me I fell in love with Harper Lee's To Kill A Mockingbird as a teenager. It was one of the set books that I had to study and I had never read it before. What drew me into the world Harper describes was not only the description, but rich language, the viewpoint of the child and the character's who highlighted different aspects of humanity. The issues of how we treat people who are different to us struck home and has stayed with me. The book encompasses themes of prejudice, interracial relationships, stereotyping and discrimination all through the eyes of a child.

I am delighted that my children have it as a set book so I have been able to revisit this with them too. Each time I reread it I discover something new, something fresh that really makes me think!



Here is a flavour of the sponsors books. I am sure you will agree there is something for everyone!
Mark of the Loon - Molly Greene



Link: http://www.amazon.com/Mark-of-the-Loon-ebook/dp/B00838H1OY

 Synopsis: What happens when a workaholic serial remodeler falls in love with an old stone cottage built by an ornithologist and his eccentric Irish wife? If you’re Madison Boone, you kick your budding romance with handsome Psych Professor Coleman Welles to the curb and lose yourself in a new project.

Madison renovates distressed homes in addition to her busy real estate sales career. When she hears about a quaint house on a private tract of land overlooking Lake Sonoma, she climbs in the window for a private tour and falls in love with the place. Good fortune enables her to purchase the Blackburne’s property, but far more than a new home and lush gardens await discovery during this renovation.
As Madison works on the remodel, she’s drawn into an old love story with dangerous consequences. She unearths buried secrets and discovers herself in the process. Good thing she has three wise, hilarious friends to advise her along the way! Mark of the Loon is the skillful combination of history, mystery, and romance in a novel that explores deep friendship, choices, and how individuals cope with loss.

In Leah's Wake - Terri Giuliano Long



Link: http://www.amazon.com/In-Leahs-Wake-ebook/dp/B0044XV7PG
Synopsis: A Story of Love, Loss, Connection, and Grace


At the heart of the seemingly perfect Tyler family stands sixteen-year-old Leah. Her proud parents are happily married, successful professionals. Her adoring younger sister is wise and responsible beyond her years. And Leah herself is a talented athlete with a bright collegiate future. But living out her father’s lost dreams, and living up to her sister’s worshipful expectations, is no easy task for a teenager. And when temptation enters her life in the form of drugs, desire, and a dangerously exciting boy, Leah’s world turns on a dime from idyllic to chaotic to nearly tragic.
As Leah’s conflicted emotions take their toll on those she loves—turning them against each other and pushing them to destructive extremes—In Leah’s Wake powerfully explores one of fiction’s most enduring themes: the struggle of teenagers coming of age, and coming to terms with the overwhelming feelings that rule them and the demanding world that challenges them. Terri Giuliano Long’s skillfully styled and insightfully informed debut novel captures the intensely personal tragedies, victories, and revelations each new generation faces during those tumultuous transitional years.
Recipient of multiple awards and honors, In Leah’s Wake is a compelling and satisfying reading experience with important truths to share—by a new author with the voice of a natural storyteller and an unfailingly keen understanding of the human condition…at every age.

Second Chance Grill - Christine Nolfi



Link: http://www.amazon.com/Second-Chance-Liberty-Series-ebook/dp/B009Y4ZSFK

Synopsis: Dr. Mary Chance needs a sabbatical from medicine to grieve the loss of her closest friend. But when she inherits a struggling restaurant in Liberty, Ohio she isn’t prepared for Blossom Perini. Mary can’t resist falling for the precocious preteen—or the girl’s father. The bond they forge will transform all their lives and set in motion an outpouring of love that spreads across America.

Welcome back to Liberty, where the women surrounding the town’s only restaurant are as charming as they are eccentric.
Second Chance Grill is the prequel to Treasure Me, 2012 Next Generation Indie Awards Finalist, which The Midwest Book Review calls “A riveting read for those who enjoy adventure fiction, highly recommended.”


Broken Pieces - Rachel Thompson



Link: http://www.amazon.com/Broken-Pieces-ebook/dp/B00AR0T74S


Synopsis: Welcome to bestselling author Rachel Thompson's newest work! Vastly different in tone from her previous essay collections A Walk In The Snark and The Mancode: Exposed, BROKEN PIECES is a collection of pieces inspired by life: love, loss, abuse, trust, grief, and ultimately, love again.

A different kind of gift.

A friend suggested a gift exchange in the form of a 250 word flash.

So Merry Christmas Matt.


Encounter.

Has she done as I commanded? Matt strode along the hotel corridor. The beige anonymous surroundings suited his purpose tonight. What started out as an anonymous liaison had turned into something else, something more personal. The teasing, flirting and occasional glimpses of enticing, smooth skin had been fun at first. She had called the shots but now it was his turn. He had played the waiting game, the 'friend', the sympathetic ear but now he wanted more, in fact he wanted all of her.

217. The door he was looking for. Matt pulled the key card out of his jean pocket, pushed the plastic card into the slot and waited. Instantly, a flash of green told him he had access to the room. The metal door handle was cold as he pushed the door open.

Dim lights greeted him. First command obeyed. He closed the door behind him and stepped slowly along the small passageway into the main area where a freshly made bed dominated the room. There on the floor, right next to the bed with her back to the entrance she sat. Long blonde hair fell along the length of her back but two round ass cheeks were visible. Yes, she was naked. Command two and three obeyed. Good girl.

He stood right behind her, his cock hard from the moment he saw her on her knees. It would have to wait. He placed his bag on the bed and began to unpack his toys!

Book spotlight...London Saint James

When London Saint James asked if anyone was willing to help promote her new book I put my hand up. It is always a good thing to support fellow writer because you also will need their support sometime.
However, that said, when I opened the book material I was fascinated and I am sure you will be.

Here is a little more about the book. Dark Tales Diaries: Volume One is part of Evernight Publishing's Romance on the Go!


Here is the blurb.
Tristan Blackthorn has toiled to find his lost love. He finally decides to use Blackthorn Printing, along with his newly created Dark Tales Diaries, as a way to find her. Will her story be one of the three tales in Volume One?

Mistress Guinevere’s calling card is her Red Stilettos. She specializes in a particular fetish and always maintains her control, until a man from her past returns to test her will.

A recently divorced woman experiences the effects of empty nest syndrome after her twins head off to college. With the clock ticking away, she decides it’s far past time to seek out something that has always eluded her. Will she find what she’s looking for with The Leather’s Edge? 

And a bored computer programmer learns what it’s like to feel sexual freedom after being bound by a Master in Safe Word.




Hmm a sexy cover right?

Well here is an excerpt and it's rather hot! Be Warned: bondage, anal sex, sex toys, fetish

Excerpt:

    “It’s been a long time,” he said in a voice that still sent shivers up my spine. “I was in town, and decided, why not?”
     I crossed my arms and eyed him suspiciously. “Humm…”
     “That’s it? All you have to say is, ‘Humm?’”
     “Humm is better than what I was really thinking, Marcus.”
     His mouth twitched at the corners, and I hated the fact I noticed how damn sexy his lips were.
     “Guinn,” he said.
    “Guinevere,” I corrected. I set my expression to that of unyielding stone and ignored those sparkling straight white teeth as he smiled. His wicked ways no longer affected me. I’d broken his spell two years ago, and I wouldn’t make the same mistake twice. I was Mistress Guinevere. I was in control, he wasn’t, and I would never relinquish the balance of power out of my favor again.
    He tilted his head in that roguish way and eyed me. Heat radiated from my core. “So, am I to stand here in the hall or are you going to let me come in, Guinevere?”
     “I hate you, Marcus, so why should I let you in?”
     “Hate is a strong word for someone who claimed no feelings for me whatsoever as she stormed out of my apartment a couple of years ago.”
     “What do you want? I don’t have times for your games,” I said rather tersely.
     “Let me in. Then I’ll tell you.”
     “You’re going to have to do better than that, Marcus. What’s wrong? Have you lost your touch? If you think that will entice me, you are so wrong.”
     Marcus Warner, Master Dom, pulled out a gorgeous pair of thigh-high, red leather, spike-heeled boots from behind his back, holding them out in front of him so I could see every lovely inch of the unmistakable Italian craftsmanship on the handmade beauties.
     “You won’t let me in even if I’m baring gifts?”
     I eyed the boots before returning my gaze to him.
    “What’s the old saying?” I asked. His perfectly shaped eyebrow lifted. “Isn’t it, beware of those baring gifts?”
     He dangled the boots. Swinging them from side to side. Tempting me.
     Bastard.
    I’ll give Marcus his dues. Since the first day I met him, he had my number, and during the year I spent with him, I gave him too much of myself, falling back into what I believed to be the weakness I worked so hard with Mistress Payne to rid myself of.
    Marcus sniffed the leather of the boots in his hand, giving me that smile again. He knew me well, maybe too well, and he knew those boots would be like kryptonite, cracking my will.
    “All right. You can come in, but only for a while.”
     “That’s my little, Guinn,” he said.
     “I’m not your little anything, and don’t call me Guinn!” I stepped aside so he could enter, shutting the door behind him.
    He strolled into my apartment as though he belonged, sat the boots down on my glass coffee table, and took a seat, rather casually, on my leather couch. He patted the space next to him.
     “Well, come on. I’m not going to bite, unless you want me to,” he said, releasing his sexy sideway smirk.
     I took a seat in the chair across from the couch. This was my house, and I’d sit where I wanted to.
    He chuckled, shook his head, leaned back, and kicked his feet out, positioning them under my coffee table.
     “Marcus, are you going to tell me why you’re here?”
     “To see you.”
     “I’m not buying that.”
     He shrugged.
     “Aren’t you going to try on the boots?”
     “No,” I said.
     “You know you want to,” he baited.
     “Listen. I’m not sure what you are up to, and frankly I really don’t care—”
     “I’m up to the business of you,” he said.
     “What do you mean?”
     “Maybe I let you go too soon. Maybe I regret it. Maybe I’ve decided it’s been long enough, and I want you back.”
     I snorted. “I left you, remember? You didn’t let me do anything.”
     There was that grin of his. The one that makes any woman consider her panties, his mouth, his tongue… Stop it, Guinevere. Don’t forget this is Marcus, the man you loath.
     “Really?” His onyx-colored eyes met me, and held me there with him. Stare for stare, we were locked in a secret power play for dominance.
     “We never worked well together,” I said. “You’re a dom, and I’m a dom, and neither is willing to give.”
     “Baby, you’re a switch. You like to dominate, but you also like to be dominated.”
     “No. I’m not,” I protested.
     “You always liked it when I took the control,” he said, assuredly. “With one word, you were wet for me.”
     “I like being in control. And I have no intention or interest in being submissive. Not for you, not for anybody.”
     “How long are you going to keep telling yourself that lie?”
     I stood up, pissed off and ready to rage. “Marcus, I don’t have to explain anything, justify my life and my choices, or put up with your shit. I think your time is up. I’d like to say it was good seeing you again, but that would be a lie.”
    “You’ve always lied to yourself when it comes to me and how I make you feel.”
     “You don’t make me feel anything, Marcus. Get over yourself.”
     I marched to the front door. Marcus followed behind me. I reached for the knob, and was stopped by his large hand as it covered mine. He placed his mouth to my ear. His warm breath tickled across my cheek.
    “Guinevere,” he said in a low, deep growl. Immediately, my sex trembled. And fuckadie, fuck, fuck, he was right. One word. And that one word was my name falling from his lips. 



WOW! I love the sound of this book so off I go to hunt it down!
