After pimping the <strong>Chocolate Mangasm</strong> event everywhere he went, Peter will never be the same. He was broken up about missing <strong>Mimosa Madness</strong> on Saturday morning, but really, the guy obviously needed the break from being penis paraphernalia. <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-RftN39Oyj-2JJU8jPhnQIlCj0LTvVj85NjXRl13_f5VFMWflBPcYfQcwdWC79Yeu9ZyPd9rczmalENihpiG1jAdhOBiBWRS-BbRS-a8Y67N39rf_-DknR8CP43HNKL8VuxH3eNxNzQt/s1600/peterpostfamily.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgT-RftN39Oyj-2JJU8jPhnQIlCj0LTvVj85NjXRl13_f5VFMWflBPcYfQcwdWC79Yeu9ZyPd9rczmalENihpiG1jAdhOBiBWRS-BbRS-a8Y67N39rf_-DknR8CP43HNKL8VuxH3eNxNzQt/s1600/peterpostfamily.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a>Peter supervised as <a href="http://www.lyndaaicher.com/" target="_blank">Lynda Aicher</a> and I prepped for our very busy day. I mean, this was work people. Lynda organized a family reunion for 99 of Peter's relatives. Two cousins got an extra special invited to play <strong>CandyMan</strong> that afternoon, while the rest of the pricks were packed into their luxury accommodations, ready for their coming out party at Chocolate Mangasm that night. <br />
<br />
We packed Peter and poor, neglected Paul into the same hole in my rolling bag, and headed off to CandyMan. It's like Candyland...only with book covers. And colored condoms instead of gingerbread people. To keep Team Hot Button (the table group Lynda & I decided had to be our friends. They had no hope of escape from us) interested, we placed the tiny liquor bottles Peter procured from his field trip atop our book covers as an added bonus for landing on <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FEON3FQ/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00FEON3FQ&linkCode=as2&tag=thepinheasoc-20&linkId=SITZC4YZ4O3MOX7V">Desire Renewed</a> or <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00I15VL0O/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00I15VL0O&linkCode=as2&tag=thepinheasoc-20&linkId=EDKGRSAMMPV6DZOE">Bonds of Courage</a>. Yes, we turned Candyland into a drinking game. Our superpowers transcend reality. <br />

<br />
The cousins were slipped into the gift bags we raffled off. The winners seemed overjoyed to meet their new companion. I suggested they be named Pacey or Patrick in honor of my fave Dawson's Creek and General Hospital characters. <br />
<br />
After the game, we helped set up for the Chocolate Mangasm event. Or maybe we just wanted to stop dragging around a suitcase filled with a hundred pounds of peckers. The other participating authors got their bushwhacker a little early since they'd be manning their own game table. (Naught scrabble, anyone?)<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6gHwtRI8bq6bHLQKM8ZbmysaL5bd-ffE7BBc1VRC8f3cGFds_nEj1p8OhzA5w7_a8gYEInO7qKSnseRLhLif4utDa7Pg1F85H_0SFrLhHCtn1G9o-TVrYWh1S9hxM5zSytFgy7cx1zxpc/s1600/peterposttwo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6gHwtRI8bq6bHLQKM8ZbmysaL5bd-ffE7BBc1VRC8f3cGFds_nEj1p8OhzA5w7_a8gYEInO7qKSnseRLhLif4utDa7Pg1F85H_0SFrLhHCtn1G9o-TVrYWh1S9hxM5zSytFgy7cx1zxpc/s1600/peterposttwo.jpg" height="150" width="200" /></a>In a last ditch effort to get rid of every last perpendicular pickle, we went to the Stick Horses in Pants Improv show. And of course when they wanted suggestions from the audience, Peter stepped up to bat. He starred in one skit as Sister Mary Joseph's priceless relic. He ended up in handcuffs. This cat sure gets around!<br />
<br />
With everyone in a post-comedy show glow, Chocolate Mangasm got off with a bang. At our table, we invited guests to claim their cock by dressing him in a condom...without using your hands. There were special prizes for style -- gift cards for particularly happy handjobs and bullets for those who had no trouble with their blow pop. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Thank goodness there was a bar. There is no way we would have unloaded every single swizzle stick without it! I'm just glad no one mistook Peter for a Twinkie and dipped him in the fondue!<br />
<br />
I had a great time at RomCon - I just hope readers remember <a href="http://www.happilybeddedbliss.com/" target="_blank">Happily Bedded Bliss</a>, and not just Peter! <br />

Friday started out with Bridal Shower Mania. Peter was up bright and early so he could attend. Now, I was all about this <a class="twitter-hashtag pretty-link js-nav" data-query-source="hashtag_click" dir="ltr" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/talesofthetravellingdong?src=hash"><s><span style="color: #c16666;">#</span></s><b><span style="color: #990000;">talesofthetravellingdong</span></b></a> thing when I could hide behind Twitter. But to take Peter in hand and attend a party? Who wants to be known as the cock chick?<br />
<br />
I tossed him in my bag and hoped for the best. The group of authors hosting Bridal Shower Mania with me were a fun bunch, but I kept Peter under wraps. That is, until <a href="http://suzannegraham.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Suzanne Graham</a> started the purse game. You know, the shower game where you divide into teams and try to collect twenty items on a list from your purses. Lipstick, tissues, nail file... vibrator anyone? <br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFiWTgXAmNdG_8Jla-kitR7pG_wYjNNsP8RJh7vYuqHt4zX-UapyFdNyJEZJ_1o8SfCHUSjHvQ_YGChFhgRqjgHhPHuWLotu4RZUiRs_MX-5dQ_UwrlSu1BZIZmmwaA4ktXqAMFHZGJ2n7/s1600/peterrafaella.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFiWTgXAmNdG_8Jla-kitR7pG_wYjNNsP8RJh7vYuqHt4zX-UapyFdNyJEZJ_1o8SfCHUSjHvQ_YGChFhgRqjgHhPHuWLotu4RZUiRs_MX-5dQ_UwrlSu1BZIZmmwaA4ktXqAMFHZGJ2n7/s1600/peterrafaella.jpg" height="200" width="150" /></a>Peter rose to the occasion for that one. Slapped his suction cup right on the table and he started making friends for the rest of the party. We made sure to let everyone know they could take home one of Peter's 100 brothers from Chocolate Mangasm on Saturday night. <br />
<br />
We headed to the next party, The Naked Hero. I thought Peter might be needed, but some things are better left to the imagination. At the Readers Crown luncheon. Romance Rekindled was nominated for best erotica, but didn't get the trophy. <br />
<br />

But given the location of the hotel, the only field trip available was to the liquor store. Lynda Aicher & I grabbed some giveaways for the book signing that night, as well as some liquid courage. <br />
<br />
Peter was much more interested in the pals Carrie Ann Ryan was passing out. <a href="http://www.lyndaaicher.com/" target="_blank">Lynda Aicher</a> brought Paul, Peter's brother, to the book signing, so I left him in the room. After all, she did arrange to bring his whole family here from China. <br />
<br />
I wonder what Peter has in mind for the final day of RomCon...Jenna Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10358800117594168058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693594044549925844.post-74460683879865745102014-06-23T00:00:00.000-07:002014-06-23T00:00:05.371-07:00Last of the Red Hot Cowboys by Tina Leonard BOOK BLAST<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<b>A sexy cowgirl gives a rugged Texas loner the
ride of his life in USA Today bestselling author <a href="http://www.tinaleonard.com/" target="_blank">Tina Leonard</a>’s seductive new
series.</b><br /><br />Ava Buchanan dreams of a career on the rodeo circuit. Winning
a spot on a one-of-a-kind team would be her ticket to the life she’s always
wanted. Ava won’t let anyone stand in her way—not even a stubborn cowboy whose
slow-molasses smile and red-hot swagger set her senses aflame . . . and whose
talents as a trainer could make her a star. Rodeo might be a man’s game, but Ava
knows the right woman’s touch can tame the wildest heart. <br /><br />Trace Carter
believes his mayor’s plan to raise the town’s profile has disaster written all
over it, and he won’t allow the Hell’s Outlaws Training Center to be dragged
into the fiasco. Yet watching Ava’s delectable body on horseback proves too much
of a temptation, and his fantasies stray to her riding skills outside the arena.
Soon Trace is fighting like hell to rein in his unbridled desire for the petite
brunette before it becomes a passion hotter than the Texas sun.<br />

Most of the time, I attend conferences as <a href="http://www.jennabayleyburke.com/" target="_blank">Jenna Bayley-Burke</a>. She's paying the bills, so she gets top billing. Fair enough, for now. But at <a href="http://www.romcon.com/" target="_blank">RomCon</a> I decided to just be Jenna, in whatever persuasion worked best at the moment - sexy contemporaries as Bayley-Burke or monogamous erotica as Allen. <br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FFLUNEM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00FFLUNEM&linkCode=as2&tag=thepinheasoc-20&linkId=II4BUFVPE7WOEGDJ" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ws-na.amazon-adsystem.com/widgets/q?_encoding=UTF8&ASIN=B00FFLUNEM&Format=_SL160_&ID=AsinImage&MarketPlace=US&ServiceVersion=20070822&WS=1&tag=thepinheasoc-20" /></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://ir-na.amazon-adsystem.com/e/ir?t=thepinheasoc-20&l=as2&o=1&a=B00FFLUNEM" height="1" style="border: currentColor !important; margin: 0px !important;" width="1" />
And I may be biased, but Jenna Allen seemed to be the more popular of the two. Maybe because <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FFLUNEM/ref=as_li_tl?ie=UTF8&camp=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B00FFLUNEM&linkCode=as2&tag=thepinheasoc-20&linkId=II4BUFVPE7WOEGDJ" target="_blank">Romance Rekindled</a> was nominated for a Readers Crown Award. Probably because of travelling companion, Peter. <br />

I had to talk her into letting him travel in style with us, instead of in the luggage like his family. Hey, when you're used to freight class, Southwest Airlines seems like a G6. <br />
<br />
He was much happier once we arrived in Denver and he could let it all hang out in our hotel room. So was Lynda. I think she spent the flight from Portland thinking he would make an appearance on the seat-back tray. I'll admit, I thought about it. <br />

For everyone following the #RomCon14 hashtag on Twitter, Peter announced himself with "Denver, I am in you." He became an instant celebrity. At least with the crowd at the Crowne Plaza Hotel. <br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, sans-serif;">Shelby
is a career woman turned housewife who enjoys the friendships that have been
built with her 5 best friends; Camille, Lynesha, Raylin, Kerri and Chloe. They
are all career women with different businesses, husbands and even children but
something is missing and they can’t seem to find it at home, in a store or even
in a book. So, they search for this missing piece in the beds, arms, cars and
even offices of other men who don’t mind paying for what Dem Dam Divas can
offer. They enjoy the thrill of sneaking, creeping and even vacationing on
someone else’s dime but they soon find out that all good things come to an end.
What happens when it becomes too much? From secretly wanting someone who
doesn’t want you, loving only to not be loved back and being caught up in a
dream that you’re about to be awaken from; will it be worth it in the end? Will
they regret their actions or stand by them? Will they finally question whether
this secret is really worth keeping?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

ready to get home to see my babies.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Well, good for you; I can’t say the same,” said Kerri. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Listen ladies, I know that these trips are supposed to be a
release to renew our minds but they do no good if you go back to home and
accept the same mess you left. If you all are not happy then make some changes.
Life is too short to keep living in hell. You all are beautiful, educated and
capable of taking care of yourselves so why continue to take less from your
husband than what your husband is supposed to do? Please don’t get me wrong, I
am in no way saying that you all should head to divorce court, however, I am
saying stop lying down and accepting everything. Stop accepting less than what
your husband should be giving. Why should you have to find part time love in
the hands of someone else? Why should you find pleasure in the bed of someone
else when your husband should be fulfilling your every fantasy and you should
be filling his?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

the room, one who notices your new hairdo, one who doesn’t mind shopping with
you, one who holds you when you cry, sit with you when you’re sick, stay up with
you when the baby is sick; you have all that,” Kerri added.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif"; mso-fareast-font-family: "Times New Roman";">“Yes, I do but this is because I wouldn’t accept anything
less. Understand, we have our ups and downs but we work through them. We are
not perfect and I’d be lying if I said anything differently but he knows my
faults and accepts them and I know his and accept them.” I said. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Sexy venture capitalist Cameron Price takes the helm of the Seattle branch of the firm to prove he has what it takes to lead the entire company. Unfortunately, his boss thinks what it takes for a workaholic like Cam is a wife!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">To fend off the matrimonally inclined, Cameron has to think fast. Inspired by the dazzling green eyes of the gorgeous caterer, he proposes the kind of innovative arrangement he’s known for. If Lauren Brody will spend a few weeks on his arm networking at events, she’ll be able to raise the profile of Come For Dinner catering and book more clients than she ever dreamed.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">But Lauren has a plan of her own and tempts Cameron to play along. She convinces Mr. Buttoned-Up-Tight they can have some serious fun on his piano, in his kitchen, and behind closed doors. But it’s dangerous to keep a lid on something so hot. And a relationship was never on Cameron’s agenda…</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><span style="color: red; font-family: "Trade Winds"; font-size: 22px;">WARNING ::</span> Indulge at your own risk! Cravings for exotic fruit, decadent delights, erotic fashion & steaming hot nights of pleasure have been reported.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><span style="color: slateblue; font-family: "Trade Winds"; font-size: 22px;">Excerpt</span><span style="color: slateblue;">:</span></strong></span><br />
<span style="color: slateblue;"><b><br /></b></span><span style="font-size: 16px;"> City lights twinkled from the floor-to-ceiling bay window. He could even hear the buzz of bustling city. She’d used more color than he’d ever thought to, blending deep red curtains with burnt orange chairs, natural wood floors and splashes of bright green in the pillows and throws on the brown chaise. From the granite countertops of her small kitchen, to the dark glass pendant lighting, everything was contemporary, yet casual. Perfectly Lauren.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">“You like?” she asked, standing behind as she pulled his coat from his shoulders. He shrugged it off and turned around to face her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">"I like you.” He slid his fingers through her silken hair, tilting her head to the perfect angle.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">“Good answer.” She gripped his tie, pulling him closer, but that was the last bit of control he allowed her.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">He took possession of her lips. Her gasp told him his kiss was harder, more demanding than she expected, but since she followed it up with a moan as he deftly slipped her coat from her shoulders and slid his hands beneath her sweater to touch her soft, smooth skin, he knew she didn’t mind.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">She wrapped her arms around his neck and returned the kiss with a passion that made his mind thrum with possibilities. She’d allow him anything, offered her body for his enjoyment, only asking satisfaction in return. And since he intended to explore her body fully, indulging every urge he’d stifled, that would be his pleasure.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;">He slid his mouth over her lips, to her jaw, nibbling at her neck, nipping at her earlobe. Everywhere he went she rewarded him with soft whimpers and breathy sighs. Her fingers pressed against his scalp as she held his head to her, her other hand struggling with the buttons on his shirt.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">“Too many clothes.” Her throaty whisper made him grin.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">He released her and pulled back, locking their gazes as he undid the knot in his tie. She pulled at the end, removing it in a whoosh as he set to work on the buttons of his shirt. With a naughty gleam in her eye she wrapped the ends of the tie in each hand and pulled it taut. The corner of her bottom lip disappeared between her teeth.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">Cameron shook his head. “No way. I’m using my hands tonight.”</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;">“I was thinking for me. I don’t know how much more foreplay I can take before I knock you to the ground and have my way with you.” She stepped closer, placing the tie in his hands. “This way I’d have to take it. Make me wait, Cameron.”</span><br />

<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>College confused me. I went in determined to become an orthopedic surgeon, and came out with a triple major – Psychology, Religious Studies, and English. Thank goodness organic chemistry mystified me, or my life might have turned out completely different. Or not. I always wanted to write, it just seemed like a far away goal – a someday not a today.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>After managing department stores and executive recruiting, I got lucky and had my first of three children. After two years of fertility treatments, I wanted to be with him as much as I could and opted to stay home. I started writing then, and developing recipes for magazines like Cooking Light and Better Homes & Gardens.</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>After my second son was born I had a health crisis, and as I lay in the ER I worried about what my boys would make of the things I’d left behind. Stories started and never finished, notes on novels never written, not to mention the rolls of film I’d yet to develop and put in albums. Grateful for life and high on pain meds, I was making some brave decisions. Like writing a book in a month for National Novel Writers Month (NaNoWriMo).</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>That book (after much editing) became my first romance novel, JUST ONE SPARK, published by Mills & Boon in 2006. COOKING UP A SEDUCTION followed, as have a series of single-title romances from Samhain Publishing (HER CINDERELLA COMPLEX, PAR FOR THE COURSE, COMPROMISING POSITIONS, PRIDE & PASSION, PRIVATE SCANDAL, FOR KICKS, and DRIVE ME CRAZY).</strong></span><br />
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong><br /></strong></span>
<span style="font-size: 16px;"><strong>COMPROMISING POSITIONS will always hold a special place in my heart, not because it sat atop the Amazon Bestseller list for two weeks, but because it was the story I was writing when I got sick, the half-finished book I worried my boys would find and wonder why I hadn’t completed it. Nothing compares to showing my kids that when you have a dream you chase it, catch it, hold on with both hands, and never let go.</strong></span><br />

<b><i>New York Times & USA Today Bestselling author Eden Bradley </i></b>writes
dark, edgy erotica and erotic romance for Bantam/Delta, Harlequin Spice and
HQN, Berkley Heat (as both Eden Bradley and Eve Berlin), and Samhain
Publishing. Two of her books have been Romantic Times Top Picks, and her novel
FORBIDDEN FRUIT was profiled in Cosmopolitan Magazine's Red Hot Reads column in
2008. More recently her BDSM book THE DARK GARDEN hit the top paperback fiction
charts in the UK. Her books have been translated into German, French, Romanian,
Portuguese, Spanish, Italian, Czech and Japanese.
As someone who has been involved in BDSM practice for much of her adult life,
she relates in particular to her BDSM and kink stories, infusing them with her
own truth about kink practice from her life experiences.
Eden has appeared regularly on Playboy Radio's 'Night Calls' and the Hollywood
In the Flesh readings. She loves art, shoes, tattoos, reading smutty books,
chocolate and sex, of course, not necessarily in that order.

out the way she planned. That doesn’t mean she’s ready to give up and wallow in
her misfortunes. She has fantasies, wild fantasies and she decides it’s time to
make them come true. Lucky for Stephanie, she has four hot tenants that are

realizes he can’t get enough of his landlord, Stephanie. He doesn’t care about
their age difference, or what others will say. Mark will do whatever it takes
to make her see they are meant to be regardless of the obstacles that lay
ahead. He will fight for her because that’s what you do… you fight for the one
you love.</span></div>

naked in her bed. It felt so good to be with a man that way again. Until then,
she hadn’t realized how much she truly missed a man’s arms around her, and the
feeling of safety and security it provided. The way he nuzzled into her neck as
he held her, the way his breath tickled her ear, the way his leg dragged her
close to him as he cuddled into her. He cared for her. She could feel it. A
year ago, it would’ve overwhelmed her. She hadn’t been ready then, but
Stephanie was ready now. She had ignored the need in her for too long. She let
herself get caught up in her losses and neglected her basic needs. She wanted
Mark. Plenty of women dated younger men, why not her?<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<b>A sexy cowgirl gives a rugged Texas loner the ride of his life in USA Today bestselling author Tina Leonard’s seductive new series.</b> <br /><br /> Ava Buchanan dreams of a career on the rodeo circuit. Winning a spot on a one-of-a-kind team would be her ticket to the life she’s always wanted. Ava won’t let anyone stand in her way—not even a stubborn cowboy whose slow-molasses smile and red-hot swagger set her senses aflame . . . and whose talents as a trainer could make her a star. Rodeo might be a man’s game, but Ava knows the right woman’s touch can tame the wildest heart. <br /><br /> Trace Carter believes his mayor’s plan to raise the town’s profile has disaster written all over it, and he won’t allow the Hell’s Outlaws Training Center to be dragged into the fiasco. Yet watching Ava’s delectable body on horseback proves too much of a temptation, and his fantasies stray to her riding skills outside the arena. Soon Trace is fighting like hell to rein in his unbridled desire for the petite brunette before it becomes a passion hotter than the Texas sun.Jenna Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10358800117594168058noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693594044549925844.post-6441971343493927352014-02-13T08:58:00.002-08:002014-02-13T08:58:29.223-08:00Cooking Up A Seduction by Jenna Bayley-Burke<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="font_7" style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">Sexy venture capitalist Cameron Price takes the helm of the Seattle branch of the firm to prove he has what it takes to lead the entire company. Unfortunately, his boss thinks what it takes for a workaholic like Cam is a wife!</span></div>
<div class="font_7" style="font-size: 14px;">
</div>
<div class="font_7" style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">To fend off the matrimonally inclined, Cameron has to think fast. Inspired by the dazzling green eyes of the gorgeous caterer, he proposes the kind of innovative arrangement he's known for. If Lauren Brody will spend a few weeks on his arm networking at events, she'll be able to raise the profile of Come For Dinner catering and book more clients than she ever dreamed. </span></div>
<div class="font_7" style="font-size: 14px;">
</div>
<div class="font_7" style="font-size: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: 14px;">But Lauren has a plan of her own and tempts Cameron to play along. She convinces Mr. Buttoned-Up-Tight they can have some serious fun on his piano, in his kitchen, and behind closed doors. But it's dangerous to keep a lid on something so hot. And a relationship was never on Cameron's agenda...</span></div>

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Karen hasn’t made love fully
unclothed since her double mastectomy and the subsequent demise of her
marriage. Her most significant relationship occurred right after her surgery

heart in Baltimore with a beautiful former model, whose crumbling marriage was
the only deterrent to his waning honor. A fantasy weekend at his uncle’s hotel
may give him a second chance with his contemporary Amazon…if her fear of
rejection doesn’t become a barrier to their reconnection. </span><b><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="https://www.allromanceebooks.com/product-redeemingtheamazon-1382988-149.html" target="_blank" title="Redeeming the Amazon at All Romance eBooks">All Romance

When Emma Grant returns to her family's Audubon Springs beach house to fulfill the stipulations of her father's will, she has every intention of forcing her former lover out of the house for good. She's never fit into her wealthy family and would prefer avoiding her past, but with her brother threatening to reveal her young daughter, she has no choice.<br />
<br />
Rafe Iuliano has other plans. The wealthy Grants tried to bribe him out of Emma's life years ago, but he's determined to prove once and for all that a master carpenter is worthy of Emma and the house. <br />
<br />
Their ridiculous and steamy battle for the house reignites the love and passion that bloomed between them years ago. But when Rafe discovers she's kept their daughter a secret for two years, can he overcome anger and pride to claim his family and the love of his life, or will the deception drive a final wedge between them?<br />

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Still
licking his wounds after a messy breakup, Nate is at loose ends for New Year’s
Eve and itching for a wild and crazy adventure to jolt him out of his rut. Now
if he could only convince his best friend, Cassie, to break away for an
impromptu road trip to Times Square. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

as it sounds, Cassie is reluctant to accept Nate’s invitation. Little does he

“last hurrah”, she packs her bag.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="color: black; font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">The
trip is a fiasco from the outset. A car that won’t start, a freak storm that
strands them on the side of the road, and a long drive with too much time for true
confessions. Cassie’s rocks Nate to the core, leaving him wondering if the best
thing that ever happened to him has been right in front of him all along.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

you hotter.” The words were falling out of him entirely too quickly, truths he
rarely even spoke to himself meeting the air. “You’re smart and fun and nice.

I've carved out some time in my writing schedule to play with some Happily Bedded Bliss ideas. I'm trying to decide...should I link them or keep creating new characters and situations every time?<br />
<br />
I like being able to peek in the window of relationships. But I wonder if keeping with the same couple would get voyeuristic. Hmmm...maybe that could be a good thing.

<span style="font-size: 12pt;">I leaned over,
intending to air brush his cheeks with mine, but it didn’t quite happen that
way. A stronger, more powerful force than my conscience, a force more powerful
than morality, changed my path of navigation at the last second, making my lips
meet his, melt deliciously into his, over and over and over again, sending
shivers of pleasure through every limb in my body. My skin tingled, my head
spun, I felt light-headed even though I was sitting down. That’s all we did for
over an hour. Kiss and kiss and kiss, tasting each other, pressing our bodies
close and steaming up the car. I didn’t want it to ever stop. I never realized
that kissing could be so sensual and powerful and overwhelming. If Olivier and
I were to never progress beyond kissing, then it would be enough, as long as I
could keep on doing it forever. Finally, when he had to go, he hugged me tight
and told me he’d wanted to kiss me since the first time we met, when I lay
crashed in a snowy heap at his feet. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;">ABOUT JO: When
Jo was ten years old she wrote a short story about losing a loved one. Her
mother and big sister were so moved by the tale that it made them cry. Having
reduced them to tears she vowed that the next time she wrote a story it would
make them smile instead. Happily she succeeded and with this success grew an
addiction for wanting to reach out and touch people with words. Jo lives in
London with her husband and three children where she works as a TV and print
journalist. She tells life stories and can often be found travelling the globe
researching the next big holiday hotspots for readers to enjoy. Since becoming a
mother anything even remotely sad makes her cry. She’s a sucker for a good
romance and tear-jerker movies are the worst. She’s that woman in the cinema,
struggling to muffle audible wails as everyone else turns round to stare. </span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman","serif"; font-size: 12pt;"><o:p> </o:p></span></div>

But Jack relocates to a remote tropical island after tragedy upends his life, cutting off all contact. Now Grace’s new boss issues an ultimatum: return Jack to the family fold or pack her briefcase and move on.<br />
<br />
When she turns up at Jack’s bungalow, he can’t deny his attraction to the fiery woman determined to lure him out of his tropical paradise. Little does she know that returning is the last thing he wants—he’s nobody’s boss, and he likes it that way.<br />
<br />
If he stays, she’ll lose her job. If he goes, she’ll lose her heart.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
~::~</div>
As she turned to float on her back, she spied Jack at the water’s edge and almost went under. He’d taken off his T-shirt, and the sight of his bare, toned abdomen took her breath away. Desire spiraled in her as she drank in his burnished chest with its flecking of hairs pointing straight down into the waistband of his board shorts. His shoulders flexed as he smoothed back his hair, the heat haze bathing him in a sultry, golden aura. He was a demigod, with the power to make her forget who she was.<br />
<br />
She’d never experienced such a visceral reaction to a man before, and it scared her. What would happen if they got too close? If he kissed her again, she wouldn’t be able to resist. Swiveling away, she dived underwater and kicked her way through the crystal-clear water.<br />
<br />
But why should she resist? They were both single, unattached. Why shouldn’t they kiss as much as they wanted? The idea sent her corkscrewing to the surface. She popped up and refilled her lungs, treading water. Jack shot up with a splash not far from her.<br />
<br />
“You took off like a tadpole.” He flicked the hair away from his eyes. “Where are you going?”<br />
<br />
Away from temptation. “Uh, nowhere in particular.” She felt for the bottom of the pool, but found only more water.<br />
<br />
In a couple of strokes he was right in front of her. “I can stand here. Hold onto me.” As she glanced nervously at the bulk of his shoulder, his eyes twinkled. “I don’t bite, you know.”<br />
<br />
Oh, it wasn’t his bite she was afraid of. She placed a hand on his shoulder. “Thanks.”<br />
<br />
“On the other hand…” His eyes sparkled even brighter. “The eels in this pool have been known to nibble.”<br />
<br />
“Eels!” She grabbed onto him with both hands, casting a jittery look at the still waters around them.<br />
<br />
A low chuckle rumbled in his chest. “Just kidding. They don’t bite.”<br />
<br />
“But there are eels?”<br />
<br />
“Small ones only, and they’re shy.”<br />
<br />
She couldn’t suppress a shudder. “I don’t know whether to believe you or not.”<br />
<br />
“Would I lie to you?”<br />
<br />
“Probably. You’re a man, aren’t you?”<br />
<br />
His teeth gleamed white. “Glad you noticed.”<br />
<br />
How could she not notice? Then she realized that Jack’s arm was around her waist, and she was clinging to his shoulders. Eels weren’t the only danger here. Far more dangerous was the way their chests were stuck together, her breasts pushing up against the water-dappled wall of his chest.<br />
<br />
She swallowed and noticed he was breathing heavily, too. Up close in the brilliant sunshine, she could see every detail of him, from the fascinating specks of violet in his gray irises, to the black stubble peppering his chin, to the faint quirk in his lips. A tiny muscle pumped in his jaw, an indication that her proximity was affecting him, too.<br />
<br />
“I told myself I wouldn’t do this again,” he muttered, almost talking to himself.<br />
<br />
“Do what? Joke about eels?”<br />
<br />
“Yeah, that too.” Using his free hand, he traced a finger down the curve of her cheek. The unexpected tenderness in his gesture made her senses leap. “You’re going home tomorrow.”<br />
She nodded, unable to speak.<br />
<br />
“And I won’t see you again. At least, not in the foreseeable future.” He smoothed back her hair, tucking a wet tendril behind her ear. “It wouldn’t be fair to take advantage of you.”<br />
<br />
He was talking as if she were still a naive young graduate. “Maybe I’m the one taking advantage of you.”<br />
<br />
His eyebrows shot up. His hand stilled on her cheek. “But you’re…”<br />

“A grown woman able to make my own decisions.” When it came to men she’d always been too shy to make the first move, but Jack made her feel so different, so sensual and wanton. She wanted him, right here and now, and she couldn’t think of a single reason to hold back. “Also, a very horny woman right now.”Jenna Allenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10358800117594168058noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8693594044549925844.post-8531709998593773682013-11-13T06:41:00.000-08:002013-11-14T06:41:57.775-08:00Jenna Bayley-Burke Giveaway!<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBsYtzRWOdyvkfPZ34tGeB9lEWtV5kzynpQr_XcXxaLpFjZ1dGu59dlmUBvh0xL2OiEY77EioX0AkFFPzFIhCC3BKA18m07XcVYZYJbNGC6JzKrvSjugLfWRsOgwtWgRFfOYt83VsE0z0/s1600/CaribbeanCrush72sm.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhdBsYtzRWOdyvkfPZ34tGeB9lEWtV5kzynpQr_XcXxaLpFjZ1dGu59dlmUBvh0xL2OiEY77EioX0AkFFPzFIhCC3BKA18m07XcVYZYJbNGC6JzKrvSjugLfWRsOgwtWgRFfOYt83VsE0z0/s1600/CaribbeanCrush72sm.jpg" /></a>Seriously, my cousin won a chicken dinner at a restaurant last weekend.

<br />
<i>If you can’t stand the heat, stay away from old flames. </i><br />
<br />
The second Antonnis Prinsen sees his old flame, he knows she’s the lifeline
to keep him from drowning in his brother’s matrimonial mayhem. It’s been years
since they’ve talked, but surely by now she understands that a clean break was
best. Instead of making a smooth re-introduction into her life, he finds his
path blocked by a giant iguana. And Kristin looking at him as if he’s lower than
the reptile. <br />
<br />
Kristin Taylor spent her youth tangled up in Antonnis, but then he cut ties
and disappeared. Now she leads a full and orderly life—until she finds herself
walking down the aisle beside him. Thank goodness, it’s only to see his brother
and her friend tie the knot. <br />
<br />
Except Antonnis seems intent on picking up where they left off, and she has
to admit she still has a weakness for him. Especially when he tempts her with an
irresistible offer—one hot night, and this time she gets the chance to leave him
cold. <br />
<br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><strong>Warning: Beware of signature cocktails and old flames rekindled. Either one
will weaken your resolve—and your knees—before you know what’s hit you.</strong></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Book Antiqua;">“Don’t move.” Kristin made her way to him, her gingham
blouse undone and making her look like a very naughty Dorothy from the Wizard
of Oz. Goodness knew she always sent him over the rainbow.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
