Fill Your E-reader Blog Tour

Welcome to my blog! You should have come from Ella Drake’s site, and if you’re just stumbling across this post, head on over to Paige Tyler’s place, that’s where the fun began. I hope you take some time to look around. My contribution to the grand prize is a copy of my contemporary romantic suspense  Préjà Vu. Ryann can see the future, and one night she gets a glimpse of a steamy encounter with Trevor Kearney. Here is a tiny excerpt, and a picture of how I see Trevor…just to get your imaginations going. See those green eyes? I’m a sucker for green eyes…

“Please!”

Ryann was sitting upright in her bed. The sheet fell away from her to pool at her waist. She had no idea if she actually shouted the one word, or if it had been part of the dream, but it woke her just the same.

She gathered the sheet into a moist wad at her chest. She was shivering. Cold? No, she was covered with perspiration, even the tee shirt she wore was damp.

Oh yes … a dream. A wonderful dream. It was sinful in its eroticism, alarming with its clarity. Ryann closed her eyes to replay it. It began with sound only. Blackness surrounded her.

She was lying in bed. Completely nude. A heavy arm was wrapped around her, a wall of masculinity pressed against her back. She was being slowly awakened by a playful tongue batting against her earlobe.

“Mmm … Trevor?”

“Yes ma’am. At your service,” his low voice rumbled through the stillness.

She grinned, but didn’t open her eyes. “What are you doing?” she moaned.

“Shh … I’m sleeping. I’m having the most amazing dream…”He continued his seduction of her ear, then moved his lips down along the slim line of her neck.

His breath felt hot on her skin. Her temperature rose to match it; blood flooded her from head to toe.

Ryann turned her head to reach his mouth. He met her lips with a kiss filled with carnal energy. His velvety tongue speared into her mouth and stroked hers until she writhed against him in effort to get ever closer. One strong hand slid up her torso until it covered her breast, her nipple puckered in full arousal. When he rolled it between two fingers, she squealed then struggled to turn toward him. Only then did she open her eyes.

So now you know what Ryann saw when she opened her eyes. Not a bad way to wake up, right? Okay, so really this guy’s name is Nic Luhrs, but I’m allowed creative liberties, right?

I’ve had a few dreams that I wish were prophetic… not the showing-up-to-work-without-a-shirt dream…I can do without those.

Also, I’m running a little giveaway of my own. Buy any of my available print books, and go into a weekly drawing for your choice of ebook! Details are here on my GIVEAWAY page. The weekly drawings will only go through the end of February, so do it now!

Okay folks, leave your comments, and it’s on to the next stop on our tour, which is Pinching Abe’s blog.

Don’t get any crazy ideas, Abe isn’t one of our hotties…

Doll by Juniper Bell

Looking for a great read while you relax after spending a day at the mall? Or maybe you browsed bookstore after bookstore looking for a perfect gift…

Good thing you stopped by. This is Doll by Juniper Bell. You’ll be able to pick this up from Samhain Publishing on Tuesday 12/15/09.

What is Doll all about? Glad you asked…

Even a plaything can be pushed too far…

Chloe Barnes thought her marriage to a wealthy politician would be the stuff of fairy tales. Instead, he took advantage of her naiveté and used her as a plaything to fulfill his twisted sexual needs. Ten years is enough. She returns to Bellhaven Island to sell the summer cottage she inherited, hoping the money will buy her freedom—and custody of her daughters.

Fisherman Dustin McDougal never forgot the childhood crush he once had on the fairy-like Chloe. The woman she’s become has a haunted look that brings his feelings back, stronger than ever…with a mature edge. Along with all his protective instincts.

Their passion blows stronger than a Maine nor’easter, awakening Chloe to the joy of true love. Yet it may not be strong enough to free her from the past…

Warning: This title contains politicians doing all sorts of nasty things and flashbacks of male domination. It also features hot sex on a boat, hot sex in an attic, hot sex on a work bench…you get the idea. Want to read a very sexy excerpt? Continue Reading…

The Wicked Kiss

Monday 11/23, Trina M. Lee’s book The Wicked Kiss will be released to the world.  I’m posting this now so that just in case you haven’t yet, you have time to read the first in the Alexa O’Brien series Once Bitten.

The Wicked Kiss is not your daughter’s vampire story. These guys don’t live on V-8 and iron supplements. They are monsters. Hence the word “Vampire”.  Alexa can hold her own though. See the two men behind Alexa? Shaz is a sweet but alpha werewolf, and Arys is a (not so sweet and) powerful vampire, but he does have a soft spot for Alexa. Even from the cover you can sense the tension between the trio, and with three powerful protagonists, you’ll be wondering, who’s protecting who?  Following is a blurb and excerpt straight from the author. The buy link will be active Monday evening. Keep yourselves busy until then by reading Once Bitten. Also, on Monday at 6:30pm EST, I’ll be joining the author in a release day chat. Please stop by and visit!

When two men share the heart of the same woman, it doesn’t take long for the drama to escalate. Alexa O’Brien’s two lovers have been at each other’s throats. The fact that one is her wolf mate and the other a vampire bonded to her by power, only increases the tension. She fears being forced to choose between them, knowing it’s something she cannot do.

Due to the bond she shares with her vampire lover, Arys Knight, Alexa has more power than she knows how to handle. It isn’t long before power hungry creatures are drawn to her, including Arys’ sire, Harley Kayson. Believing he is entitled to her, Harley makes it his personal mission to get a taste of Alexa for himself, whether she likes it or not. If he doesn’t kill her, she just might wish that he had.

But that’s just the beginning… Continue Reading…

Wolf's Tender

Now, I’m not telling you this just so you’ll be jealous, but I’ve read this book, and you should be.

Wolf’s Tender releases Monday 11/16/09. I’ve got the buy link hooked to that book cover there which will be active Monday evening.

This one of those books that sticks with you even after you finish. Charlie Wolf  McCallister *swoon* has just the right amount of cocky stoicism and loving tenderness, you’ll fall for him, maybe even before Naomi Parker does.

Those of you who’ve read Intimate Strangers already know what a master Gem Sivad is at historical western romances. One of the best things about Wolf’s Tender…it’s book one of a series. Thank you Gem!

Rough and tough Charlie Wolf McCallister knows he needs to get laid, when even a spinster school teacher with a sharp tongue, starts looking good to him. But, cad that he is, he operates on the philosophy that a bird in hand is better than no bird at all. And so he offers to trade service for—servicing.

When Naomi Parker’s students are snatched from their school by marauding Comancheros, she can’t believe that she hid like a coward and let it happen. The only way to ease her conscience, and get the girls home safely, is to hire half-Kiowa bounty hunter, Charlie Wolf McCallister. His price seems a bit steep, to prim and proper Naomi who must choose between her virtue and her students’ lives.

When one straight-laced spinster, tenders her body, to one cynical sometimes savage, the unexpected bounty, is love. Click HERE for a spicy excerpt (o-18)

Visit Gem’s website to see what else she’s got up her sleeve. Congrats Gem on the release! I’ve got my brandy ready for the celebration!
