Cayman Porter is happy with his life. Great career, nice home, plenty of women. What more could a guy want? Love? As soon as a woman utters the L word, it's time to move on. But he soon discovers his satisfying life and womanizing ways aren't so satisfying to one particular love goddess.

A love of equal parts, that's the spell the Goddess Freya cast on Cayman. Someone to love him equally by the powers of three. But karma proves to be a pain when the only woman on Cayman's radar already shot him down more times than he can count.
Alexis London's had enough of womanizing pigs but not enough that she's found the strength to swear off men. If only she didn't enjoy them so much! Still, there's one pig she's managed to avoid for over a year. Lucky for her, he's never really put on the charm. Until now.

Chocolate Pudding Cream Cheese Pie

2009-12-07T08:27:00.000-08:00

I've had a few requests for this receipe so I thought I'd post it here. Let me know if you decide to give it a try. It's super delicious. My kids go crazy for it. And, to make it even healthier, I use sugar free/fat free pudding mixes, light coolwhip, and fat free cream cheese. It cuts down on the calories and still taste just as great. Really, my family can't tell the difference!

Ingrediants:
1 box graham cracker crust mix (can use pre-made pie crust as well)
1 box instant vanilla pudding mix
1 box instant chocolate pudding mix
1 8oz pack of cream cheese
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 1/2 cup coolwhip
Milk

I use a 9x13 ungreased cake pan

Make the graham cracker crust according to the box directions. Spread the crust evenly into cake pan.
Mix cream cheese, confectioners sugar, and coolwhip in a bowl until it's really smooth then pour over the crust. *hint: I usually let the cream cheese sit out of the refrigerator for a while so it gets softer before I start.*
Make chocolate pudding according to the receipe for pie filling on the side of the box and pour over cream cheese layer on pie
Make vanilla pudding, again using receipe for pie filling on the side of the box and pour over the chocolate layer on pie.

That's it! You've got a very tasty pie.

Tall, dark, and built for distraction, former Navy SEAL turned firefighter Ryan Magee has no trouble convincing a woman to share his bed, until he meets Tina. As infuriating as she is beautiful, Tina is the last woman he should want. So why does one night with her and Timmy have him thinking of picket fences and mini-vans?

Tina Walker might be a struggling single mother, but the last thing she wants is a man in her life, especially a hotheaded playboy like Ryan. Trouble is the sight of him sends her body on a vacation to Hormonal Happy Land. Her hunger for him increases when she and Timmy are forced to ride out a storm in Ryan's home.

But when Ryan's past follows him to Silver Springs, putting them in far greater danger than the hurricane, their time together may come to a grave end neither of them anticipated.

Recovering from Thanksgiving

2009-11-30T08:27:00.000-08:00

Well, I'm back from Fernandina Beach, FL and settling in to return to work. So much to catch up on! But Thanksgiving was a wonderful holiday. I had a great time visiting my mom in FB. Being able to walk the beach this close to December never fails to amaze me. I love my mountains but the beach offers a heck of a change. Here's a few pics I took while Gavin and I looked for sea shells. Oh, and one of his cruising in my mom's convertable. Couldn't get any pics of the older boy. Teenagers just don't find it cool to hang with Mom even on the beach.

Branded is Blazin'

2009-11-22T20:16:00.000-08:00

It's been a few weeks since I've managed to kick back for my weekend of reading and have a review on Monday. While I didn't pull off a full weekend, I did enjoy most of the day with my nose in a book on Sunday. My book of choice?

Trace Armstrong is the youngest of two brothers orphaned and left to run the family ranch. His brother, Eric, joined the military just after their parents' deaths 6 years ago and is headed home to stay. A rift between the brothers has left Trace with a bitter dread of Eric's return. Trace has been running the ranch on his own for 6 years and he isn't looking for that to change. He also isn't looking to fall for the sexy-as-sin cowgirl who happens to be one of his ranch hands.

Jo Atchison is an ex-Marine who fell in love with horses as a young girl and worked on many a ranch ever since. She's worked hard to be treated as one of the guys everywhere she's worked including the Armstrong's ranch. Sleeping with the boss isn't exactly the best way to keep her hard-earned reputation, but she can't seem to keep her hands off the tall, built-to-distraction Trace Armstrong.

Something I found very interesting from the start is that author Tori Carrington is actually a pen name for the husband and wife team of Lori and Tony Karayianni.

Trace Armstrong is super HAWT! I have to admit he started off as a confident, drool-worthy, do-me cowboy that pulled me from the first page. While his appeal didn't waver, his character traits did. As the authors flush out Trace, he goes through many stages from steady ranch boss to immature brother to jealous lover and finally a strong, loving, and still oh so yummy hero. Jo is a hard-headed and determined heroine that I liked from the first page. She is a woman who knows what she wants and isn't afraid to go after it...espcially when it comes to Trace. Family problems of her own give the plot of this book a well rounded feel and keep the scenes moving right along until the very last.

Excellent read for a fine Sunday afternoon on my sofa!

4 Delightful Divas

2009-11-13T07:05:00.001-08:00

4 DELIGHTFUL DIVAS: "At first, I thought, oh, this was going to be a book mostly about sex and nothing much more. Boy was I wrong. This book held a passion that would make a grown man or woman cry. This story shows the heart of family; what one has to give up for family. Only in the end to find where you are is exactly where you want to be. The hero and heroine in this book are two very strong characters. Jaelynn is a woman with strength, and the need to be loved by the right man. I like that fact that Jaelynn had her own bumps in the road. This made her more real to the reader. Logan is the male presence in this book. He will hold you captive with his good cowboy nature, and stir your body with his passion. I really liked the feel of Logan's character. His story comes through strong but not overwhelming. Logan's Lessons, book two in the Sunset Cowboy series, is a story filled with a lot of heart. Come read Logan and Jaelynn's story and see if Logan can lasso Jaelynn's heart. Or will Jaelynn show this cowboy he's not the only one who knows how to work a lasso? Tonya Ramagos is sugar and spice and everything oh so naughty. She writes with a HOT pen that will leave her readers breathless." -- Deb, Dark Diva Reviews

Hollywood Lights

[The Heroes of Silver Springs 6]
Now released at

http://www.bookstrand.com/product-hollywoodlights-15829-192.html

Tess returned to Silver Springs leaving her heart and acting aspirations behind in Hollywood. Two years later, both have followed her. Now an officer with the SSPD, she's found the strong, in control, happy side of herself she always sought. But a single command from Devon Gerard's panty-wetting voice takes it all away, sending her spiraling down a path of wicked desire.

Devon never understood why Tess left. Still, he let her go without a fight, and it was the stupidest thing he ever did. When his latest role brings him to Silver Springs, he knows it's time to reclaim what is his. But a case she's working on collides with the film he's shooting, throwing them into a battle that rages with danger, deceit, and desire.

ADULT EXCERPT

Tess couldn't think. Perhaps that was a good thing.

No, not perhaps. Not thinking would prove to be a very good thing. At least until this ended. Until reality slapped her in the face and her real world returned.

But right about now, with Devon's hands on her ass and his tongue inching toward her aching heat, she couldn't remember precisely what her real world entailed. His tongue skipped lower, stopped a millimeter from hitting home, and she whimpered.

"Please." She hadn't meant to beg, would surely be embarrassed as hell about the fact that she did later, but now it rendered her with the ability to forget her inhibitions. Her body wanted, needed things he denied her, and if she had to beg to get them, then Goddamn it, she'd beg.

He laughed, the bastard, a breathy chuckle against her lower belly that brought goose pimples to the surface of her flesh from the roots of her hair to the tips of her toes. Then he pulled back, pushing her from between his legs, and she truly considered kicking the shit out of his shin. That would teach him to find amusement in her torment. The idea skittered out of her brain when he started to bend her over his lap.

"W-what are you doing?" Mortification warred with the devious thrill that kicked up in her middle.

"I'm about to give you the punishment I owe you. Lie across my lap, Theresa, and don't fight me or it will be worse."

"I—"

She couldn't do it. With this one act, he would strip away a sizeable chunk of the self-preservation she had built since leaving him.

She wanted to do it. The need to obey him, to submit to his every command, burned her insides from nipples to pussy.

"Theresa, I did not make a request." His tone hardened, the authority settling in the air like a stone.

Tess let him guide her until she lay on her stomach across his thighs, arms bound behind her back, her ass exposed to his sight and his hand. She closed her eyes as he caressed first one cheek and then the other. She sucked in a breath of half fear and half anticipation as he slipped a finger beneath the thong that sliced between her cheeks.

"We're not going to discuss this punishment now," he told her, his voice thick with his own arousal. She could feel his cock, long and hard, inside his jeans, pressing at her side. "You know what it is for."

She did. She left him. A feat she didn't deserve to be punished for and yet couldn't find it in herself to protest the sentence he'd given her. Because as right as she had been to do what she did, the devil inside her wanted this, needed to be disciplined for her actions.

"You will take this punishment without argument and when I'm done, you will thank me. Do you understand?"

Thank him for punishing her? Not a chance in hell, pal. She nodded and heard the quiet "Yes" spill from her lips seemingly of its own accord.

The first hard slap to the tender flesh of her ass stung like a bitch. Tess inhaled sharply. The second didn't come immediately. Instead, Devon took a moment to palm the spot, soothing the burn and allowing the anticipation to build.

"Mmm, I've always loved the way your flesh turns such a fantastic shade of red when I spank it. You didn't do as you threatened, the all over tan you talked about getting. I'm glad. I might have been forced to punish you more if you had."

A second slap came on the heels of his last word, and her cheek exploded in a riot of vicious pleasure. The third smack landed on her other cheek quickly followed by a fourth. He'd always been thorough in making sure each side got equal attention. His fifth and six strikes came harder and faster, and her pussy gushed, her juices leaking from between her feminine lips.

She felt dizzy, her head spinning in a tilt-a-whirl of pain and pleasure. The lines between the two blurred beyond vision. That's when she lost count. He spanked her, working her tender flesh until her bottom flamed, her pussy convulsed, and the orgasm knocked on the walls of her sodden channel.

Almost there. The thought became a mantra in her mind as her release grew claws, climbing higher and higher. Almost there, almost there, almost….

"Theresa, are you about to come?" He stopped, the next blow so close, she could feel the warmth of his hand, but he didn't make the contact.

"Please." She squirmed on his lap, struggling to lift her buttocks to meet his hand, fighting to squeeze her legs together to offer a bit of pressure to her throbbing clit.

He slid his hand beneath her panties instead, pushing her legs apart to swipe a finger between her pussy lips. "Damn, Theresa, you're soaked, baby. I know you didn't come already."

"Not yet," Tess said through gritted teeth. "But if you'll give me another second, I will."

He laughed, and she considered biting his thigh since she dismissed the idea of kicking his shin earlier. He remained fully clothed, but she bet she could get in a good bite through the denim of his pant leg.

"Do you want to come, Theresa?"

"Duh."

He tsked. "Such feistiness should earn you more punishment, not pleasure. Although," he paused to circle his finger along the outer edge of her opening, "it feels as though punishment gives you pleasure, as well."

Tess said nothing at that. She couldn't. She didn't want to acknowledge the truth of that statement.

"Thank me now, Theresa."

Thank him? No. No way. "You aren't finished."

"I can be." Warning rang in the air from those three little words.

"No, please." He couldn't stop, couldn't leave her like this. She'd die from the torment.

"Then thank me for your punishment."

Tess gulped. She couldn't say it, wouldn't. Her lips parted, another argument on the tip of her tongue, but the two humiliatingly truthful words spewed out instead. "Thank you."

"How do you wish to be pleasured, my love?"

Trick or treating sure is easier these days. When I was a kid we had to go around house to house and beg for treats all the while hoping we didn't get tricked. These days you can take your child to a local church or mall and they rack up with far more candy than we ever did by simply dressing in costume and walking in line. Truth be told, with the dangers out there that we didn't have to face so much when I was growing up, I prefer the new method.

A church up the street from our house put on a Trunk and Treat event on Saturday night. Here are a few pictures.

A trip to the Mayfield Dairy Farm

2009-10-28T06:24:00.001-07:00

Yesterday brought a day of fun, ice cream and rain in the form of a field trip to the Mayfield Dairy Farm. 160 hyper 3rd graders with large cups of sugar loaded ice cream, hay rides and pumpkin shaped corn mazes in the rain. I'm really going to miss times like that one of these days when the boys are grown. Here's a couple of pics I took yesterday.

Okay, so I had to take a break from my run-down of the books I finished last week to promote my own book yesterday. Did you see it? Logan's Lessons [Sunset Cowboys 2] is out! Yee haw!!! Scroll down for more info.

Anyhoo, for the third book I read.

Drum roll please...

Untamed
by Emma Wildes

Buy Untamed at Amazon

This book contains 2 old west novellas:

Riding West - Parker West has been courting Celia Evans. After his proposal is turned down, his patience wears out. On the advice of Celia's mother, he kidnaps Celia, taking to a secluded cabin where he changes her mind about her answer.

Lawless - Cal Riker has a rough reputation and a dangerous skill with a gun. When he saves the sassy Laura Daniels from an outlaw gang, he discovers staying the hard man who earned the deadly reputation isn't as easy as it should be in the lady's presence.

I thoroughly enjoyed both of these stories though I will admit to being unable to put the book down once I hit "Lawless". In "Riding West", Parker's ways of handling Celia were both commical at times and super HOT. Celia was a fantastic character in her head-strong determination to make Parker do things right. Cal Riker is the perfect vigilante in "Lawless". Tough and strong with a dangerous reputation, he has a softer that slowly unfolds as he falls for the enticing Laura Daniels. In all, "Untamed" is a real page-turner you won't want to miss.

Hee Yaw! Book 2 of my Sunset Cowboys series, Logan's Lessons is now available at http://www.bookstrand.com/product-loganslessons-15746-192.html

I'm so excited because Logan is so SUPER HOT!! If you like to line dance, you won't want to miss a class or two taught by this Boot Scootin' cowboy.

Jaelynn-Sue Murphy has a dilemma and less than a week to find the solution. Little does she realize her answer is dancing in front of her, clad in drool-worthy Wranglers and cowboy boots, doing a bump and grind that sends her hormones on a bucking ride to Happy Land.

Teaching line dancing to a barroom of eager couples isn't the way Logan Cartwright planned to spend his evenings. An ailing father, family obligations at the ranch, and a failed engagement landed him on the dance floor at the Double Horn Saloon. Funny thing is he enjoys the hell out of it! He has a real talent for taking old line dancing favorites, sexing them up, and turning them hot, hot, hot. When his dream cowgirl saunters into Sunset, his brain conjures up all sorts of lessons he can't wait to teach her, including how to stay in his life forever.
Jaelynn stood on the edge of the dance floor with Logan and watched as a dozen or more couples shuffled, stomped, and stepped their way across the varnished oak. A DJ had taken up post on a platform to the left of the dance floor shortly after Logan's classes ended and immediately began playing song after song of the most popular country and western music of the decades. Billy Ray Cyrus and his soothing twang blared through the speakers now, wondering where he would live when he got home.

Excerpt:

Beside her, Logan squeezed her hand in one of his and slipped his free arm around her waist. He leaned close at her ear, his breath an intoxicating warmth on her flesh as he spoke. "Step to the right, slide the left foot over to touch, another step to the right, another slide, then turn and stomp."

"It's the C. C. Shuffle," she told him and delighted in the surprise that shifted through his eyes. "With the added turn and stomp at the end and all the…" She wiggled her hips and bit the inside of her cheek as the surprise morphed to a desire so instant and potent she felt it all the way to her booted toes. Christ, the man was danger incarnate; dangerous good looks, dangerous body, and an even more dangerous gleam of undiluted male guarantee in his eyes.

"Want to try that with a partner now?" he asked gruffly.

"Only if you promise not to laugh. I've been told I have two left feet. The expression doesn't only apply to men, you know?" She let him lead her to the center of the dance floor and let out an undignified squeak when he caught her hand, spun her around and yanked her back, her front slamming into his.

He buried his face in the side of her neck, his lips brushing her ear lobe. "I teach dance, remember. Believe me, I run across my share of women with two left feet." He started to move, a step to the right, a slide of his left foot, and a repeat of the same. "Just follow my lead."

It seemed awkward at first, doing a dance originally choreographed to be done solo in a single file line. Her steps were actually backward to coincide with his, but the way his body moved against hers, the way he'd bent his knees to bring their groins in perfect alignment for grinding drove her to near orgasm.

"You're doing good." His hands traveled from her hips to her behind, molding to her ass and drawing her closer still.

Her arms were around his shoulders, and she delved her fingers into the hairs at his nape, reveling in the feel of the silky strands. He moaned in her ear, a low grumbling sound that vibrated straight to her center and herded her one gallop closer to release.

Good. He thought she was doing good? He wanted good? She'd give him great. Her feet might have trouble keeping step but she'd never been told her hips possessed a problem.

Jaelynn arched her lower body into him, extending a leg around his as they started the next sequences and grinding her pussy against his thigh.

"Sweet Jesus," he growled, his hands squeezing her ass as he swayed with her, as the heat between them built to boiling.

"Am I doing better now?" Jaelynn teased and added an extra gyration to the turn that rubbed his cock into her heated core at such a perfect moment he would've been inside her sopping channel if not for the barrier of their jeans.

He lifted his head and looked down at her. His eyes grew heavy-lidded, their once milky brown now the color of a Dove double dark chocolate bar. "Sweet thang, you get any better at this and I'm going to want to have my way with you tonight."

"What? You don't want to yet?" She flattened her hands on his broad shoulders and let them travel down his biceps. He was solid muscle beneath her palms. All she could think about in that moment was getting the blasted shirt off of him. She wanted to be skin-to-skin with this man tonight. Now. Forget that she'd just met him. Forget that every fiber of her being screamed at her not to give into the purely carnal urge to fuck. Forget that she'd held herself in check for so very long. She wanted, and nothing had ever stopped her from taking what she wanted in the past. Why let anything start now?

"Oh, I want, babe. I want to take you somewhere and change this vertical dance we're doing to the horizontal mambo."

Jaelynn laughed. "Can you mambo?"

Amusement swam into his gaze. "I can. I bet I can even adapt it to suit."

"You mean you haven't yet?"

"Not that particular one. You'd be a first."

"Then what are you waiting for?"

He sighed, and there was so much agony in the sound her heart actually ached for him. "My place isn't exactly private right now. Unless you're into exhibitionism, then it might be right up your alley. I'm all for kinky now and then, but an audience of family members won't make it easy to get my rocks off." He winced. "Crudely speaking."

"I'll take privacy," Jaelynn stopped dancing. She'd let her hands move between them, her palms skimming over his chest, down his abdomen, his stomach. Christ on a pogo stick, there wasn't an ounce of fat on this man. She licked her lips, her mouth watering, her tongue aching to follow the same path as her hands only lower to feast on his impressive cock. "Like the kind we'll find at my trailer on the rodeo grounds."

He stepped back, his hands moving once again to her hips and holding her at arm's length. The song ended and another began, but he didn't seem to notice. His gaze remained totally focused on her and full of intense concentration. "Are you sure?"

Jaelynn took his hands in hers, all but prying them from her hips and closed the distance he'd put between them. She rose to her toes and leaned in at his ear. "Positive." She licked his lobe and delighted in the tremor that caused his body to slither against her. "Come have your way with me, Mr. Cartwright. I need a few," she sucked his lobe between her teeth, "private lessons."

Moving on with reviews

2009-10-20T07:10:00.001-07:00

I posted yesterday that I finished reading 3 books last Friday. "Once an Outlaw" is talked about below. The second book I completed is in total contrast to the cowboys but no less hot and sexy. How about a demon? Yum!

Jacob
by Jacquelyn Frank

Buy Jacob (The Nightwalkers, Book 1) at Amazon

"Jacob" was the debut novel by Jacquelyn Frank and the first in the Nightwalker series. I've had this book on my shelf for too long to admit and finally got around to reading it. I'm sorry I let it sit so long! Needless to say, I imediately went for book 2. I'm going to give you the official blub and then I'll continue my thoughts.

Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers - the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, the Enforcer...For 700 Years, He has resisted temptation. But not tonight...Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total...until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York City street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire...Bring on the night.

Bring on the night...most definitely! This book is packed with adventure, super sexy demons, and bone-deep love. I enjoy a good paranormal and I have to say this one surprised me in its originality and refreshing author voice.

Reading frenzy

2009-10-19T06:21:00.000-07:00

I have a habit of reading more than 1 book at a time. I usually have one going for my time on the treadmill, another in my bathroom, and a 3rd for leisure time. Friday I somehow managed to reach the point in all three that I finished them on the same day! I'm going to spread out the reviews during this week. Here's the first. Check back tomorrow to see more:)

Once an Outlaw
by Debbie Rawlins
A Harlequin Blaze Stolen in Time romance

Buy Once An Outlaw (Harlequin Blaze) at Amazon

Born to parents famous in the acting spotlight, Dr. Reese Winslow has had it easy most of her life. Not that she wanted her own professional success to spin from her parent's fame. She's strived to make her own mark in the medicine world but just doesn't feel as though she's really contributed much. When she visits her deceased grandmother's house to sort through the items inside and prepare the place for sale, she discovers a gorgeous white wedding dress and a trunk in the attic with a picture of a hanged man in his coffin. The next thing she knows, she's hurdled back in time to 1876 and face-to-face with the very much alive, very sexy, very hard to resist Sam Keegan. More, she discovers in this time, she can truly make the mark in medicine she always wanted.

Time-travel romances can be so comical at times even when the author might not intend for them to be. Reactions of the characters in the past as they are faced with things from the future and visa versa make for a few good laughs. "Once an Outlaw" had me chuckling aloud more than once. I didn't find Sam Keegan to be the 1800's outlaw cowboy I expected but that turned out okay because he's still pretty hot:) The secondary character of the 1876 doctor made for good plot support. In the sex department, I found it lacking a bit, especially for a Blaze novel. I would've like to see the Reese and Sam give into the attraction a bit sooner. As it stands, they only come together intimately in the final quarter of the book. Despite this lower heat level, "Once an Outlaw" manages to please in the lines of a good story written by a stong author voice.

Hollywood Lights
[The Heroes of Silver Springs 6]

Pre-order it now at http://www.bookstrand.com/product-hollywoodlights-15829-192.html

Tess returned to Silver Springs leaving her heart and acting aspirations behind in Hollywood. Two years later, both have followed her. Now an officer with the SSPD, she's found the strong, in control, happy side of herself she always sought. But a single command from Devon Gerard's panty-wetting voice takes it all away, sending her spiraling down a path of wicked desire.Devon never understood why Tess left. Still, he let her go without a fight, and it was the stupidest thing he ever did. When his latest role brings him to Silver Springs, he knows it's time to reclaim what is his. But a case she's working on collides with the film he's shooting, throwing them into a battle that rages with danger, deceit, and desire.

Note: Contains M/M elements

"Tess made her first Silver Springs appearance in Twin Games. Though a secondary character, she left a lasting impression. For a woman who sought the spotlight, she surprised me by being content to spend the last three books making cameo appearances. Her contentment ran out, as did mine, when Devon came to town. We suggest you grab a tall glass of ice water because this one is HOT!" ~ Tonya ~

Yesterday marked the end of this years cross country at my youngest son's school. After a delicious feast of Little Caesars Pizza, salad, and sugar cookies (I had to do my own cross country on the tredmill when I got home LOL) we watched a video of pic someone put together from the meets and then on to the awards. My son got a certificate and 3 feet awards (awards in the shape of feet) for his efforts this year. Go son! Here he is getting his certificate.

How do you explain to a child that he can't "publish" a one page story no matter how cute it is? My 9 year old wrote a story and I found myself struggling to explain to him why I couldn't send it to my publishers to be published without hurting his feelings or damaging his confidence to keep writing to polish his skill. We finally reached an agreement that I would "publish" his story on my blog. I've typed it below exactly as he wrote it, even with the misspellings because, hey, they're just too cute:)

Once a Cowboy
by Linda Warren
Published By: Harlequin
Ebook ISBN # 978-1-4268-3058-7
A Harleqin Free Read at http://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-onceacowboy-82729-149.html

I can't recommend this book enough! Not a lot of hot, graphic sex here. As a matter of fact, the sex scenes are pretty tame. This is, after all, an older Harlequin American Romance. However, the lack of eroticism doesn't prevent this book from being a real page turner (or button pusher if you're reading it on your e-reader:).

Brodie Hayes has exchanged to rodeo for a quiet ranch. Despite a strained relationship with his mother, he visits her once a week and leaves with an aching head and heart each time. Never able to be the kid his parents wanted, he rebelled as a teen and only managed to form some simblance of a kinship with his father just before his father's death. His association with his mother isn't much better. Then a beautiful PI comes a callin' with a shocking story of his birth that leaves Brodie in denial, confusion, and wondering exactly who the hell he is.

Alexandra Donovan gave up being a cop when her heart became too involved in a missing person's case. Unable to give up the law entirely, she joined her father in his private invistigation acency. Now she's wearing her heart on her sleeve once more as she feels herself falling deeper into the case of Brodie Hayes and the missing Braxton baby. More, she's falling in love with Brodie Hayes.

Brodie Hayes is a helluva cowboy. Tough, rough, sexy and potent, it's easy to see from the first introduction why Alex falls for him. The stuggle he endures in dealing with the truth of his past is heartfelt and so real it oozes from the story. Alex makes a good match for this hot cowboy and her own family problems add both comic relief and a modern bent. Her grandmother is positively humorous!

If you're looking for a break from the graphic and still enjoy the lighter side of romance, you don't want to miss this one. Best of all, it's FREE!

Twin Games gets 4 Stars from RT

2009-10-02T05:51:00.000-07:00

Finally got the latest issue of Romantic Times magazine yesterday and got the 4 star review for Twin Games [The Heroes of Silver Springs 2]! Here's what the reviewer had to say:

4 Stars
"Fun, sexy and engaging, this novel's plot, which contains M/F/M scenes, is easy to follow, but the complex characters are what really capture your attention. Ramagos skillfully develops the primary and secondary characters without taking the focus away from the protagonists." ~ Keitha Hart / RT Book Reviews

Whoo hoo!!! I do love praise like that. LOL

When Damian looks Kailey in the eyes and professes himself a Vampire, Kailey is certain the man is out of his mind.
Still, she's fallen for him, and though she first walks away without a backward glance, she's drawn back to him just as quickly by an invitation to the Hotel of Darkness, an establishment with a reputation for catering to the dark crowd.
When Kailey collapses to her knees overcome by a vision of Damian, red silk and candlelight, just inside the lobby, she begins to wonder just how insane he really is.

How can he talk inside her mind and make her feel his touch in unspeakable places when he isn't even in the room and overwhelm her with such a feeling of power if he isn't truly the undead?

But how can she continue to love him if he is?

First Fiction Friday Guest Blogger

2009-09-25T05:58:00.001-07:00

I'm honored to be the first guest blogger on fellow Siren author, Raina James's romance blog today. Since Fridays are generally her fiction theme day, I blogged about a book I recently read by Brenda Jackson titled Irresistable Forces. To read my review visit Raina's blog at http://rainajames.com/blog/index.php4 and be sure to check out Raina's Poly Amour title releasing Monday at Siren-Bookstrand.

The Family Jewel
By: Raina James
Word Count: 28,296
Heat Level: SCORCHING
[PolyAmour 9: Erotic Sci-Fi Menage a Trois Romance, Multiple Partners Sharing, Public Exhibition, F/M/M/M/M, M/F/M, M/M]

On Kalaria, native-born women are a rarity, and Kalaria's Council of Elders is ever-vigilant that only the best and the strongest clans qualify for a precious Jewel.
Jerran, Loran, Mikah and Kai -- leader, healer, trader and warrior -- have worked long and hard to win a Jewel, despite Jerran's "taint" of off-world heritage. Beautiful and seductive, trained from girlhood to be all things to her mates, Shantay is everything half-brothers Jerran and Kai and lovers Mikah and Loran desired.
But jealousy and greed are universal. Because of the machinations of a vindictive courtesan, Shantay is ripped away from her mates by a slaver eager to cash in on the value of a rare and priceless Kalari Jewel, rumored to be the ultimate sex slave.
Her men will follow her into space itself to reclaim The Family Jewel.

"Chuckling to myself, I was considering all the euphemisms for a man's, ahem, family jewels when I started thinking about a heroine called a Family Jewel, and imagining a world where women are rare treasures. She would have a "he-rem" of men and be the perfect mate each man -- or, in the case of Loran and Mikah, each couple -- needs." ~ Raina ~

I'm excited to share that I've been offered a contract with Total-E-Bound for a Christmas story titled Stupendously Yours. This will be my first story to be published with Total-E-Bound but I hope it is the beginning of a very long and rewarding relationship for both myself and Total-E-Bound.

Following up the good news of a new contract and new publisher, I also received a contract for a story titled Saving Stakes to be published in the 4th volume of the Tasty Treats Anthology at Siren Publishing in January 2010! Saving Stakes is a M/M/M cowboy romance and I'm thrilled ot have it in a volume with the fantastic alternative authors, Stormy Glenn and Tymber Dalton.

And 3rd good news of the day, I received the first round of publisher edits for Logan's Lessons [Sunset Cowboys 2]. This puts this sexy cowboy and his rodeo queen one step closer to publication!

Movie fest weekend

2009-09-22T08:11:00.001-07:00

I've been bad on the book front these last couple of weeks. Rather than read this weekend, I spent much of Saturday organizing my bookshelf and Sunday rearranging my office. The office still isn't in top shape but I escaped to watch several movies...both new and old.

Continuing with my cowboy research of late, Friday night Gavin and I curled up on the sofa with Tombstone. The cast of this movie is just too good. Kurt Russell, Val Kilmer, Sam Elliott, and Bill Paxton play such fantastic roles!

Up for Saturday night's matinee were the fairly new releases Knowing and The Haunting in Connecticut. Both were good movies though I didn't find either to be one I would want to put on my keeper shelf. However, both were definitely worth the watch.

And rounding out a weekend of movie watching, on Sunday I went for another rather newbie, The Unborn. This one was not what I expected at all! I didn't really expect it to suck but I didn't expect to like it so much. It just might find its way on my keeper shelf.

From Books to Movies

2009-09-08T06:27:00.000-07:00

Hmm, that post title really fits better with books that are made into movies. That wasn't my intention since neither of the books I read this weekend were made into movies nor the movies I watched came from books. I did spent some of this glorious 3 day weekend reading and watching movies. E-books read included:

Cowboy by Delilah Devlin
http://www.thewildrosepress.com/wilderroses/index.php?main_page=product_info&products_id=340

Caught in a sudden thunderstorm on a lonely stretch of Texas highway, I pull into a dingy little diner to wait out the rain, never dreaming the cowboy of my dreams would follow me inside. Now I have a couple of choices, play it coy and safe? Or go for the big brass buckle…

The door squeaked open and a cowboy strode inside. He pulled off his cream-colored hat andshook dark brown hair like a dog, sending droplets of water lashing against the glass door. His white T-shirt, soaked almost to transparency, clung to the hills and hollows of sharply defined muscles along his chest and abdomen.

A truly fantastic and super hot short story that will leave you no choice but to read it in one sitting!

Down and Dirty by Desiree Holt
http://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-downanddirty-13587-144.html

When Krista North accepted the invitation to wealthy cowboy Clint Brody's famous barbecue, she had no idea she'd end up being the dessert-for him and his friend Shane.

New to Texas, Krista North reluctantly let her friend drag her to hot, wealthy cowboy Clint Brody's famous annual barbecue. When he found her in his family room trying to clean off a spilled drink, he convinced her taking a shower would be a better idea. With him.

Krista thought it the most erotic shower she'd ever taken until Clint's friend Shane made an appearance. Then things really got interesting.

Another super hot short with a menage scene to make any cowboy lovin' woman jealous!

Movies watched were:

Virgin Territory

Historical meets modern filming in this movie. Not what I expected out of this movie but still a great laugh. Very sexual, though not graphic, and a cast of really good actors.

Thirteen Days

A political film reaching back to 1962 and the days of the Kennedy's and the Cuban missile crisis. The forced accents were horrible, especially Kevin Costner's, but otherwise a truly fabulous movie.

Check out this awesome California write-up on my fantabulous publisher!

Erotic publisher review: Siren Publishing: Menage Amour imprint

September 3, 4:38 PM
San Diego Erotica and Romance Books Examiner
Acquanetta Ferguson

Siren Publishing has a very unique imprint of books, called Menage Amour, that basically celebrates the love of many partners, either centered on a woman (lucky girl!) with multiple male partners (m/f/m or m/m/f or f/m/m/m, etc.) or on males loving each other (m/m/m or m/m/m/m, etc.)

As this is the only publisher of its kind (and I looked, so if there are others forgive me) this makes them ahead of the game not only for quality erotica, but for just being the first to give women what they're craving for, as evidenced by (as of this review) the 103 titles and counting.
The stories range from BDSM, sci-fi, fantasy, to contemporary, to an all cowboy menage line!
Only having read a few of the stories so far, this small imprint is definitely big on the idea of polyamorous relationships working and really delivers some fantastic storylines from some great authors. Check it out today!

It's called fishing not catching

2009-09-03T05:55:00.001-07:00

I went fishing with hubby and the kids at one of the state parks last Sunday. 4 hours and all I caught was a lot of moss, seaweed, and a tree! Hubby got a kick out of me because I told him all I managed to do was get my skirt wet and dance around. The skirt in question was actually on my chatter bait fishing lure and the lure did the dancing, but hey, I was holding the fishing pole. Since I didn't catch a fish to take a picture of, I took one of the lake instead. All in all it was a relaxing adventure.

Wednesday Catch-up

2009-09-02T06:21:00.000-07:00

I spent much of the weekend finishing up my latest M/M/M cowboy novella for an upcoming anthology at Siren with authors Stormy Glenn and Tymber Dalton. The title is Saving Stakes and the anthology should see release sometime in February. Heres a blurb:

Jay Masters gambles himself into a mess only one man can clean up. Cole Duvall is ready to ride to Jay's rescue, but when the stakes change he finds himself heart-deep in trouble. Can Jay and Rusty save Cole from a game of desire that threatens to keep them apart?

My weekend book was an anthology titled Texas Men by Delilah Devlin

Boy oh boy was it HAWT! If you like sexy cowboys and fiesty heroines you won't want to miss this one.

Fiction is so much better

2009-08-28T08:58:00.000-07:00

Texas is often the prime spot for some of the sexiest, super hot cowboy fiction. Too bad this joke pegs real men better than those fictional characters we love to day dream about.

Only a Texas man can make you feel like a woman.

A plane passed through a severe storm. The turbulence was awful, and things went from bad to worse when one wing was struck by lightning.

One woman lost it completely. She stood up in the front of the plane and screamed, "I'm too young to die," she cried. Then she yelled, "If I'm going to die, I want my last minutes on earth to be memorable! Is there anyone on this plane who can make me feel like a WOMAN?"

For a moment, there was silence. Everyone stared at the desperate woman in the front of the plane. Then a man from Texasstood up in the rear of the plane.

He was handsome, tall, well built, with dark brown hair and hazel eyes.

Slowly, he started to walk up the aisle, unbuttoning his shirt as he went, one button at a time. No one moved. He removed his shirt. Muscles rippled across his chest. She gasped... Then, he spoke...

"Iron this -- and then get me a beer."

ADULT EXCERPT

She didn't lie when she said she never had sex with the men, never let them touch her. Until tonight. Until this man. With hands that shook, she lifted her skirt.

She was. More wet now than she ever got on stage.because of him. Her panties felt as though she put them on straight from the wash bin without giving them a moment to dry, and when he palmed her mound through those panties, she felt still more juices seep out of her.
Since she couldn't seem to find her voice, she simply nodded. She knew he would feel the movement of her head on his chest.

This request.No, not a request but more of an order, made an excitement more visceral than any she ever felt rush through her. Even as nervousness and indecision mixed with that excitement, she did as ordered. Would she really let this stranger have his way with her? she wondered even as she tugged at her panties and let them fall to the ground around her heels. Hadn't she gone too far to turn back now? When his finger slipped into her pubic hair, wiggled between her pussy lips, she knew she wouldn't stop him.

His finger seemed to take on the attributes of a spoon. It curved even as it slid from a point just behind her opening forward to delve quickly inside her before it pulled out again, skimmed over her clit then withdrew from between her pussy lips. He held the finger up, and in the moonlight, she could just see it drowned in her juices. Though she didn't see him do it, she knew he brought that finger to his mouth, heard him lick and suck until he dried it of her cum.

Monday Movies

2009-08-24T06:21:00.000-07:00

I didn't read much over the weekend as I usually do. I did read most of the stories in the two cowboy erotica books I posted about last week. (scroll to "The Look" post below) Since there are so many short stories in each book I won't break each one down but I will say both books are worth the read. Not much "romance". I have to keep reminding myself most of the stories are created by men. LOL But the sex factor is HAWT!

So, what did I do for entertainment this weekend? I watched movies! Yep, got 2 out of the video cabinet I've been wanting to see and watched one on Friday night and the other Sunday night. Saturday I spent the evening putting together a puzzle of a very old fire truck. The kids and I had a good time with that one, though they tended to put a few pieces together and then leave me for a level on their PSP game before coming back.

I went from a western to the DEA. Friday's feature was 3:10 to Yuma.

I've always enjoyed Russell Crowe's movies because you never know quite what to expect out of his character. He rarely gets the woman, isn't always the good guy even though his "bad guy" roles aren't all that bad, and sometimes he doesn't even live in the end. Oh, and did I mention he's pretty yummy?

Sunday's feature was the 2002 movie Traffic.

Again, a great movie with a fantastic cast of popular characters. If you've never seen it and you like DEA, politics, etc. you'll want to give it watch.

Encore has a western channel!

2009-08-18T19:49:00.000-07:00

Okay, I'll admit it. I don't watch much television. I've actually watched more in the last few months than I probably have in the past 8 years! I'll also admit to an intense fascination for cowboys. Bet you never would've guess that one:D The whole cowboy romance thing has always been so hot. No way will that one over die.

So I was surfing through the channels after the family went to bed last night and lo and behold what do I find. Encore has a western channel. Keep in mind, this may not be new. As far as I know this channel could've been on my cable for the last decade! I gulp every month when I make that debit card payment to the cable company and I can't even tell you what channel the news comes on much less any real good shows. Sad? Probably. But hey, I can tell you the name of every physical bookstore in town and directions on how to get there. LOL That should count for something. Right?

The Look

2009-08-18T05:36:00.001-07:00

Yep, I got "the look" yesterday. You know the one I'm talking about. The one that holds a world of "Surely, I'm not seeing what I think I'm seeing" mixed with the "Eew" and the swirl of one totally appalled. Why did I get "the look"? As you probably know if you're reading this and have read my books, the first book in my Sunset Cowboys series is M/M/M. I think it's absolutely fabulous that this genre of fiction is taking off so well of late. I firmly believe everyone deserves romance no matter their sexual preference. What His Cowboys Want was my first all male mengae (I'm working on another right now) but there is a M/M relationship in Destined Hearts even though the men share a woman as well. And there is M/M play in Picture This. You will also find a M/M subplot in Hollywood Lights coming in early 2010.

With the continuing market, my growing fascination of the genre, and all the fantastic plots to be explored, I decided I wanted to do more researching on the genre. I decided I especially wanted to read some erotic stories writen by men because, lets face it, no matter how much my writing mind fantasizes, I'll never be a gay man. :D More, I wanted stories about gay cowboys written by men. So I found these two books:

Since the local bookstore had them in stock, I took a quiet trip to the mall yesterday and picked them up and...got "the look" from the lovely cashier when I went to pay. I could've told her there were for research but why bother? It wouldn't have made a difference anyway. Instead, I gave her my best smile, paid for my books and rushed home to start reading.

Another weekend has come and gone. I indulged in my favorite past time yesterday. Yep, reading. Is there anything greater? Well, okay, I might can think of one thing. Yesterday's book?

Tempted by a Cowboy
by Melissa MacNeal, Vonna Harper, Delilah Devlin

buy it at Amazon

Synopsis:

Tough and rough, tall and dark, these are men a woman never forgets. Experience pleasure like no other in the arms of a cowboy...

"Mustang Man" by Vonna Harper
Acclaimed horse trainer Miguel Perez is used to the unexpected from his work with wild mustangs. But nothing prepares him for the bolt of desire he feels when he meets Dawn Glass, and he's eager to work his sexual healing on her in every possible way...

"Long Hard Ride" by Melissa MacNeal
Rodeo rider Michael White Horse is grateful when Diana Grant stops to pick him up in the middle of a rainstorm. But with one touch his gratitude quickly turns to lust and an uncontrollable desire to lay her down and ride her hard all night long...

"Hot Blooded" by Delilah Devlin
Rancher Adam Youngblood is always happy to help a damsel in distress. But before he'll pull the sweetly curvaceous and fiercely independent Cass McIntyre to safety, he demands promises of unconditional sexual surrender...

My thoughts:

I honestly skipped Mustang Man. After the first few pages, it didn't catch my attention. I felt the characters spent too much time speculating how the other would react to their touch rather than holding any real conversation or even touching. This isn't to say that it's not a great story. I simply couldn't get into it.

Long Hard Ride grabbed me from the first line and held me. Rodeo rider Michael White Horse is hot, sexy and the stuff one-night-stand fantasies are made of. My only complaint about this story is the heroine, Diana Grant. While she comes off as a good character, she seems a bit conflicted. She's supposed to be a strong-willed, stable woman despite the death of her husband and the threat of auction of her home and land by the bank due to nonpayment. However, she's constantly looking to Michael or Michael's lawyer friend to save her in everything from handling the legal matters of fighting the auction to financial support. Even in the end, she leaves it to Michael to figure out how the money will come to keep her home.

Hot Blooded is the five star in this anthology. Adam Youngblood is alpha off the stud o meter. He's hard, masculine, sexy, and arrogant. Gosh, why do we love those pain in the ass men? Cass McIntyre is a strong heroine who knows what she wants and more importantly who she wants yet when Adam starts being a jerk she doesn't let him off easy.

All in all, I recommend Tempted by a Cowboy for erotica anothology lovers who get turned on by Indian cowboys. Oh, did I mention all three heroes were Indian cowboys?

Hollywood Lights

2009-08-14T07:57:00.000-07:00

I just submitted book 6 of the Heroes of Silver Springs, Hollywood Lights, to Siren Publishing! If you read book 2, Twin Games, you won't want to miss this one:) If you didn't read Twin Games, what are you waiting for??? Go get it at http://www.bookstrand.com/product-twingames-11018-200.html now. LOL

Here's the blurb for Hollywood Lights:

Tess returned to Silver Springs leaving her heart and acting aspirations behind in Hollywood. Two years later, both have followed her. Now an officer with the SSPD, she's found the strong, in control, happy side of herself she always sought. But the initial command from his panty-wetting voice takes it all away, sending her spiraling down a path of wicked desire.

Devon Gerard never understood why Tess left. Still, he let her go without a fight. It was the stupidest thing he ever did. When his latest role brings him to Silver Springs, he knows it's time to reclaim what is his. What he finds is turmoil in Tess he didn't see before, one that leaves him struggling to understand even as he gives her pleasure. But a case she's working on collides with the film he's shooting, throwing them in a battle that rages with danger, deceit, and desire.

New Contract Signed

2009-08-13T06:16:00.000-07:00

Siren Publishing has offered me a contract for Logan's Lessons [Sunset Cowboys 2]. Here's a blurb:

M/F Western/Cowboy Contemporary Erotica Interracial Romance

Jaelynn-Sue Murphy has a dilemma and less than a week to find the solution. Little does she realize her answer is dancing in front of her, clad in drool-worthy Wranglers and cowboy boots, doing a bump and grind that sends her hormones on a bucking ride to Happy Land.

Teaching line dancing to a barroom of eager couples isn't exactly the way Logan Cartwright had planned to spend his evenings. An ailing father, family obligations at the ranch and a failed engagement landed him on the dance floor at the Double Horn Saloon. Funny thing is he enjoys the hell out of it! He has a real talent for taking the old line dancing favorites, sexing them up, and turning them hot, hot, hot. When his dream cowgirl saunters into Sunset, his brain conjures up all sorts of lessons he can't wait to teach her including how to stay in his life forever.

I've got grass!

2009-08-12T05:51:00.000-07:00

Yep, I've got grass. I said that to my mother and she told me I shouldn't tell anyone. LOL I don't mean that kind... Early in the summer I posted on my MySpace blog about my back yard and all the leaves the family raked in one weekend. We did all that work only to reveal a grassless yard! Well, grassless but for a few leaves. So we planted grass seed about a month ago and waited...and waited...and waited... Well, you get the picture. My youngest and I went outside the other day and, dum, dum, da, dum, we've got grass! It's patchy and has a lot of growing to do but check it out:

Sports Beats gets 5 Stars

Sports Beats [Rock Hard Seduction 3]
Gets 5 stars from JERR

http://www.bookstrand.com/product-sportsbeats-13962-192.html

"I really enjoyed this story! I love hockey, adore musicians, and have been called a tomboy on more than one occasion. That said, I had no problem relating with Mel Forbes, well, except she has more fun then I do. Reece Torrin was sexy, and while he tried to get the bad-boy thing going, eventually he proved to be a nice guy after all. There were various characters in this story, all of whom kept it moving at a steady, fun pace while the main characters kept the temperature on high. Between their bantering foreplay, denial, and eventually their wild sexual romps that never make it to a bed, I found I wasn’t ready to see this story end. I highly recommend Sports Beats, and I will definitely be looking for more from this author."Stefani ClaytonJust Erotic Romance Reviews

My favorite way to spend a Sunday is curled up on my sofa with a book. I don't always manage to do that, but yesterday I did. The book?

Sexiest Man Alive by Diana Holquist

Publisher: Grand Central Publishing
Pub. Date: October 2007
ISBN-13: 9780446409971

Buy it at Amazon

Imagine the person who intimidates you. Naked. I'm intimidated by Josh Toby, the world's biggest movie star. Who has to imagine him naked? I've seen it on a forty-foot screen.Breathe deep. Did I mention he's Josh Toby? As his costume designer, I'm supposed to dress him. And undress him. Oh, and my psychic sister Amy, who has never been wrong, named him my One True Love. Breathing is completely out of the question.Ask for what you want. What I want is for him to stop being so...irresistible! I want not to fall in love with a man who's stalked by the paparazzi, whose washboard abs could cut glass, and whose movie star girlfriend is the most stunning creature ever.Believe you can do what needs to be done. Then do it. So, all I have to do is believe I can resist Josh Toby. Resist those deep violet eyes, those strong, muscular arms, and the way he makes me feel like the only woman on earth. Couldn't be easier. Yeah right...

My thoughts?

I have so many books on my hard drive and shelves that I tend to forget how I acquired them. I think this one landed in my possession as a freebie from the lovely give-a-ways at the RT convention in Orlando last April. I've read a lot of good books recently but none with a hero that stayed with me long after I finished the last page. Josh Toby is still smiling his movie star grin in my memory today. When I opened the book and found Jasmine dressed in a black teddy practicing for a job interview while talking to a naked Ken doll, my attention was snagged. When Josh Toby walked onto the page two short chapters later, my attention became rivited. This was truly a fantastic book and I'll be looking for more Diana Holquist in the future.

Moving from MySpace

2009-08-08T12:10:00.000-07:00

Welcome to my new blog! Okay, so it's not so new. I've been on Blogger before but I moved it to MySpace for a while. Well, MySpace has become too annoying so we're back here for another try. If you've followed me over, thank you and if you're new HELLO!! LOL It's 91 degrees in the beautiful city of Chattanooga, TN this sunny Saturday and I'm sitting on my balcony with my laptop and the promise of grilled hamburgers and hot dogs in my immediate future.
