I've been sharing on Facebook and Twitter, but figured I owed my readers an update. The lack of posts on the blog is because I've moved. Yep, I'm over at <a href="http://landragraf.com/">www.landra.graf </a>. It's my brand new site and designed more to me and the books I'm writing.<br />
<br />
Feel free to swing by and check things out.<br />
<br />
That being said, I'll be leaving the content up on this blog for approximately two more months and then it will disappear. I'm no longer in the slushpile, therefore this piece o'slush has rose. It's been a privileged to have regular readers, a steady slew of visitors, and now I'm ready to embark on the next adventure.<br />
<br />
As I move forward with my writing career, I've decided to stop reviewing books, to focus more on the words. I'll still be conducting Interviews with Victoria, Thursday Reads, Funday Monday, and a hosting amazing authors.<br />
<br />
I hope you're able to follow me on the journey.Landrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16099833600342085109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677893971131076725.post-56402879666855909072015-04-15T00:00:00.000-07:002015-04-15T00:00:15.075-07:00Wordless Wednesday: Cover Reveal Smoke Signals by Catherine Gayle<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

this excerpt from Man Candy</span></b><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">: <o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“I’ve been wanting to do this for a while,” he
whispered in my ear, still pressed against me as he unzipped my dress.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">Me too</span></i><span style="font-size: 12.0pt;">, I wanted to say. But I
didn’t. I was adrift in the onslaught of sensation as he slid the fabric from
me, trailing kisses down my back as it went. Making me aware as I never had
been of how sensitive the skin there could be. When he reached the small of my
back, he lingered, kneading my skin with his tongue and teeth. His hands ran
down my legs and then back up to my breasts, and I savored the feel of his
fingers. My breaths came heavier. I had been needing this for too long.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He rose and turned me toward him, towering over
me. His cap was gone and his dark hair was askew, as though he had run his
fingers through it, giving him that sexy just-woke-up look. I slid my fingers
from the waist of his jeans, underneath his shirt, to his muscled back. The
ridges of strength there were too tempting beneath my fingertips. How did he
find the time to work out that much? I had to see with my own eyes. Fisting the
hem of his shirt in my hands, I pulled his t-shirt up to remove it. Why should
I be the only one standing here naked? With a chuckle, he complied, lifting the
shirt over his head and flinging it away in the casual manner of an underwear
model on TV.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Sure, I had imagined what he looked like with his
shirt off, but the reality was ten times better. He had a runner build, but
that was filled out with muscle. The planes of his chest were topped by strong
shoulders and arms, which seemed to blossom over the lean ridges of his
abdominals, creating a definite contrast. I couldn’t help reaching out and
touching him. I ran my hands over his skin, tracing my way upward to the light
coating of black hair on his pectorals. He leaned his pelvis into me, forehead
on mine, his erection pressing into me, making me shiver with anticipation.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">We were on the brink of something oh-so-good, and
I was dying to plunge ahead. Yet, I hesitated. Questions burned in my mind. I
tried to hold them back, knowing serious talk would ruin the moment. That
lasted about two seconds before I gave in.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“Um…” I said.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He lifted his head from mine and looked at me.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I cocked my head at him. “Did you just say you’ve
been wanting to do this for a while?” Had he been scoping me out all this time?<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">He nodded. “Who wouldn’t? Look at you. You’re
gorgeous.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">The smoldering look he gave me trumped anything I
observed on the physical plane. The messages coming from him on a subliminal
level promised pleasure that made me squirm with heat.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 0.0001pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">“You know it’s going to be good between us, Ava,”
Cole said.</span></div>

2- Another charity I'm involved in is called Scream for the Cure! This is a month-long auction event that happens from October 1st-31st. The auctions include donated books from several categories (Erotic Romance, Sci-Fi/Fantasy, Horror, YA and Adult Paranormal, Urban Fantasy), plus whatever else people want to donate. This year we'll be screaming to benefiting <a href="http://www.makingdreamshappen.org/">Dyin' 2 Live</a>. Currently, we're seeking authors, bloggers, and those who want to participate via donating to the auctions, blogging on the site during October about their cancer experiences, or spreading the word. Sign up <a href="http://goo.gl/forms/YtVN26Qayp">here</a>.<br />
<br />
3- Outside of all the charity-activism I've been getting involved with, I've found a new time suck website that keeps me busy. There's always the need to develop banners, signs, images, etc. and if you haven't yet, I suggest you visit <a href="https://www.canva.com/">Canva</a>. All the cool kids are doing it.<br />
<br />
4- If you don't follow me on Facebook, and I'd imagine you don't, I posted a bit on some art. Not being one to rock the boat too often I do find that female superheroes in comics are extremely under-dressed. My personal opinion is that I couldn't fight crime or super villains with a thong riding up my rear every five seconds. So when <a href="http://goodcomics.comicbookresources.com/2012/03/01/the-line-it-is-drawn-79-male-superheroes-see-how-the-other-side-lives/">THIS</a> article and art showed up in the feed stream, I had to see and then share.<br />
<br />
5- The last link is to my favorite website, at least when I need to unwind and let go of everything in exchange for mindless fun. For me mindless is the relaxation of a <a href="http://www.jigzone.com/">jigsaw puzzle</a>.Landrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16099833600342085109noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677893971131076725.post-22934305956890996582015-04-12T21:37:00.001-07:002015-04-12T21:37:02.399-07:00Cover Reveal: WUNDER Series by AR VON<br />

DREAMZ (Wunder 0.5) FREE at all ebook sellers<br />
<br />
A World of Turmoil and
Yearning <br />
<br />
Wunder may have a normal life now…well, as normal as a freak of nature
could have. Half zombie while her job is to hunt bloodthirsty creatures to protect the innocent.
It’s the dreams that haunt her and they aren't nightmares. Wunder dreams of a man, a man
made just for her. Is he real, can he be the one she‘s yearned for? <br />
<br />
Pete’s world is a
lonely one as he wrestles with the reality of being part zombie. His hatred for the creatures that
killed his parents drives him to patrol the streets and wipe them all out. His life would be stark,
but for the dreams he’s been having; of a woman, so sensuous, so sexy. These alluring visions
have become erotic and consuming. He feels as if he made her up to keep from going crazy. Is
this life of hunting the walking dead, all there is? Or is she out there, waiting…just for him?<br />

The Approach (Wunder #1)<br />
<br />
Wunder isn’t your average girl, in fact, she isn’t
even an average human. In a world ravaged by Zombies, she was born amidst the chaos. <br />
<br />
Where can a girl like her find the man of her delicious dreams? She has an idea and it
leads her to the hottest new club in town, where she finds what’s been missing in her life. <br />
<br />
Pete has his own secrets to tell, and when they come together, another story unfolds
while the sparks fly.<br />

<br />Reunion (Wunder #2)<br /><br />Wunder’s life has been far from perfect, being part
Zombie in a world devastated by the plague of the walking dead. Still, she knew there was
something special awaiting her, someone out there who could change everything and she did
find him. Pete is everything she dreamed of and more, as she discovers passion and fulfillment
for the first time in her life. <br /><br />Now her life turns into a journey of discoveries. Secrets
from the past come full circle and her world is changed forever. In the coming chaos, can she
keep her new found happiness and the man of her dreams?<br /><br />Amazon US <a href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3S6LSE">http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00F3S6LSE</a>

Instinct (Wunder #4) Coming 2015<br />
<br />
776 has escaped from RIP, again. Wunder
is missing, she just disappeared from their bed and Pete is losing it. No leads, no possibilities.
His one and only focus is to find her. He plans to use their connection, the one they’ve had for
decades but never really knew it until they met. He wants to try and reach her through their
dreams as he’d done before.<br />
<br />
Is there a way to get back what they shared before they
even met, or is Wunder lost to him forever?<br />

<b><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></b>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Victoria:</b> Today I'm welcoming some fellow kinks, Thomas and Kata. I won't quip with preliminaries, let's get to it. Name three favorite things you like about sex? </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Thomas: </b><span style="line-height: 107%;">Just three things? I love taking control. I love
watching her come apart in my arms and I love when she Kata digs her
fingernails into my shoulders.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Kata:</b> <span style="line-height: 107%;">Surrendering to my Master. Watching him take
pleasure with my body and I loved when he holds me close like I am a precious
object made only for him.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Victoria:</b> Sounds right up my alley, except I'm giver. Control is my domain. What about w</span><span style="line-height: 107%;">hips or hot candle wax?</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Thomas:</b> Both. </span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Kata: </b></span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Hmm, not sure. But out of the two, probably
whips.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Thomas:</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">I knew it. *winks*</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Victoria:</b> I knew it, too. She looks like a whip-kind-of-girl. There's something marvelous about a few good licks with a cat o'nine. Anyways... </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Since you've been successful at finding love,
what tip can you offer me?</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Thomas:</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Don’t give up. Even if you think the person might
not feel the same, give them a chance. You’ll find your happiness quicker than
you realize.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Kata: </b></span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Never say never. I learned that the hard way.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Victoria: </b>He he, the hard way. Sometimes I like learning the hard way, but when it comes to love I know right where you're coming from Kata. </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Would you ever consider sharing your newfound
love with another person?</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><b>Thomas:</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">If I did share, which I haven’t in many, many
years, it would only be with one person, my twin, Theo.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 17.1200008392334px;"><b>Kata:</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">Well, since I’ve never experienced sharing at
any degree, I don’t know. Theo might work, but I’m not a hundred percent.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Victoria:</b> I like your commitment and your open-minded nature as well. You'd be surprised how that can question can incite some people. It did the other day. *smiles* All right, last question and then I'll let you to get back to some fun. </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">How does you give each other what you need?</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Thomas:</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">She gives me what I need, just by being herself.
Kata is the bravest, smartest person I know. She humbles me by her strength.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 107%;"><b>Kata:</b> </span><span style="line-height: 107%;">He accepts me with my scars and issues. He makes me
feel good about myself and he loves me. The Domination and submission is just a
byproduct and a happy extension of who we are.</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Victoria: </b>Thank you both for a wonderful interview. Come back anytime. Maybe bring that twin. For the readers, keep going to get the blurb and an extremely hot teaser excerpt below. </span></span><br />

As a Sadist, he craves a masochist to match his needs, but when his Latin bombshell rebuffs his advances, he’s left wanting a woman who doesn’t crave him. Determined to banish her from his thoughts, he sets up a date with the renowned Madame Eve and 1Night Stand.</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">
<div style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Katarina Lopez doesn’t intimidate easily. When it comes to her job, she’s focused and completely sure of herself. Then she goes to work for the ex-Special Forces-Sadistic Dom, Thomas Kenner. The Dom—and her boss—is completely imposing and sex personified. But, there’s no way she’ll ever fit his masochistic mold. Letting him down would mean the end of her career along with any chance she may have to submit to the man who’d held her heart from the minute she met him. Unless….<u></u><u></u></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 19.2000007629395px; text-indent: 0.5in;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">With the help of Madame Eve, both will try to obtain what their heart desires, but will one night be enough?<u></u><u></u></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Teaser:</b> Without a
word, his head dipped toward her nipple, drawing the tight bead into his mouth.
He sucked and nibbled on the peak, lavishing it with attention. When he pulled
back, he clamped it. Katarina screamed and pulled back, trying to get out of
his reach, but he held her fast, laving the other nipple. When her body relaxed
against his, he placed the second clothespin and flicked it. “<i>Thomas</i>,”
she screeched, while trying to cover her tender breasts from his view.</span><br />

Please welcome Alexis, Johnathon and Sebastian. Who are just dying to tell me their three favorite things about sex. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Alexis</b>: O<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">h boy, I don’t even want to think about sex right now. It would hurt someone too badly and I cannot waste another life hurting those that care about me.</span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Johnathon</b>: <span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">That is easy, even if you don’t want to think about it Alexis, it doesn’t make your answer any different. Passion, the feel of her *points at Alexis* and the love behind it.</span></span><br />
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Sebastian</b>:<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;">The sound of my name being screamed to the heavens, her soft flesh in my hands and of course the feeling of her lips. *glaring daggers through Jonathon with each word*</span></span><br />

But they are not the only ones; she quickly finds others that play an intricate
part in what has come to pass and what is coming. If that wasn’t enough the
tattoo that she had placed across her chest has taken on a life of its own.
Leaving her in pain beyond anything she has ever experienced before. Through
her dreams and the men that cannot help but complicate her life further, Alexis

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white;">WARNING: ROCK is a no-holds- (or holes-) barred bisexual, polyamorous lust-fest for the senses. It contains GRAPHIC LANGUAGE and EXTREMELY EXPLICIT SEX. This book is not suitable for readers under the age of 18 or anyone expecting a realistic story. A strong stomach, an open mind, and appreciation for over-the-top, egotistical characters are a must. Best read after STRINGS, BEATS, and NOCTURNES.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">If you'd asked me to describe myself a couple weeks ago, I'd have told you I'm Letty Fucking Dillinger--The Rock in your cock, the cream in your wet dream, the spunk in your junk.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I had everything a girl could want: A hot rocker boyfriend, fame, a nuclear cooter, a smart phone ... The whole damn world at my feet. I worked my ass off to get where I am, and I have no regrets.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">But everything changed when she exploded on the scene with the mother of atomic bombs strapped across her chest. She's beautiful, talented, and holds the key to my future--my life as I know it--in her hands.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">I hate her. I fucking hate her. Because she and her merry band of bitches made me do something I've never done before. They made me doubt myself.</span><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></span><br />

I've had the pleasure of interviewing his friend, erm... baby's momma, in the <a href="http://riseoftheslush.blogspot.com/2014/10/interviews-with-victoria-anabel-divided.html?_sm_au_=iVVqjNnSZSrT56JN">past</a>. Now he's agreed to submit to my couch. *winks*. If everyone would kindly give him a wide berth, I've heard he captivates women with little more than a smile. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">I don't want to give him a chance to deploy his female devastation tactics so I'll start off with the first question straight away. <span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Would you rather be caught with your pants around your ankles or tied naked to a pole?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #222222;"><span style="background-color: white;"><b>Jared:</b> </span></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Definitely pants around ankles. Not like it hasn't happened before.</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I prefer to have my hands free. I don't like to cede control that </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">easily.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Victoria:</b> Then this is probably the wrong room for you because I don't easily cede control either. *smirks* Outside of the bedroom, a</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">re you a love at first sight or love is for suckers type of person?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Jared:</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"> </span></b><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I don't believe in love at first sight, because you can't see </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">everything you need to see at first sight. Most circumstances warrant </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">a second look. And if you're asking about Anabel, I definitely didn't </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">find her attractive the first time I saw her. She was too much--too </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">much messy hair, too snobby, too spoiled. What I didn't see at </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">first--her sweetness, vulnerability, and brilliance--were not revealed </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">to me until later.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Victoria:</b> Wow! After everything I heard I didn't expect you to be so introspective, and worth mentioning I didn't mean anyone specific. The question was general, but since you brought her up then I'll take it you love her. Enough of the sappy business, let's play a word game. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">When I say the word 'masticle' what do you think it means?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Jared: </b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Initially I thought it was something goats did. Then I looked it </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">up. Is that really a thing?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Victoria:</b> You'd be surprised what's 'really a thing' in my world. Of course, I know several people who'd be happy to show you all sorts of things. Just give me the word. Speaking of that, w</span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">hat's the kinkiest thing sexually you've ever done?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Jared: </b></span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Victoria, I'm appalled. You don't seem like the kind to kiss and </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">tell, so why should I? That being said, there was this one time with a </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">few interns that I am not proud of. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Yes. A few. *clears throat*</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Victoria:</b> There's the disreputable man I've heard so much about and you're right, I don't kiss and tell, but I'm willing to beat answers out of someone. I limit those beating to one person now, such a shame. You look like you have plenty of secrets brimming underneath the surface. I won't keep you much longer otherwise we both might do something we'll regret. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Tell readers in 1 sentence why your book is what they need?</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><b>Jared:</b> </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">It's the story of how I fell in love with the person I wronged </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">irreparably, and how she ruined me for other women. So, you know. </span><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Light reading.</span></span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Victoria:</b> *laughs* That's classic and I may have to pick up this book.

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b>Excerpt: </b>When the glide arrived at her stop, she stepped off with a swell of other riders. She crossed the asphalt road, once used for gas-powered vehicles, and took a deep breath. I’m finally home. Sliding her card to gain access to the secure building, her heart raced in anticipation. She needed to be with Erik, find out the truth, and reunite with the man she loved. However, her apartment door didn’t open.<br />
<br />
“Access denied,” the robotic female voice rang out.<br />
<br />
What? She tried again with the same result. Sliding the card faster or slower didn’t make a difference. She couldn’t get into her apartment building.<br />
<br />
“Please vacate the area. Authorities have been notified.”<br />
<br />
Calla’s stomach twisted. Her throat tightened. Was this Malock’s doing?<br />
<br />
She pulled out her communicator and contacted the building manager. “Taylor, it’s Calla Jacobs. My card won’t work in the reader. Can you please open the door for me?”<br />
<br />
He grimaced at her. “I’m sorry, Jacobs, but I’m under strict orders not to let you into the building. Your apartment has already been assigned to another employee, and your belongings were taken a week ago to Planet Core.” He disconnected, leaving her to stare at a blank screen.<br />
<br />
A week ago? Malock had planned her demise before she’d even left for Airondelle? Tears threatened to fall. She wiped them away. With PC cameras all over the city, she imagined he watched her and laughed. She stood tall, not letting him get to her.<br />
<br />
Although she had no possessions, no place to live, she could still live a happy life with Erik. But where was he if not at her apartment? After they’d decided to return to being friends, he’d moved to Planet Core claiming she would be too much of a temptation for him if they continued living together.<br />
<br />
She dialed his communicator, hoping he’d be nearby. When he failed to answer, not once, but five times within ten minutes, Calla lost hope. Malock had ruined her as he’d threatened. She had nothing left. Her only option was to return home to her parents. A glide could get her there by nightfall.<br />
<br />
She squashed that irrational thought. No! She’d rather live in the rumored underground cities than go crawling back to the two people who’d admitted they’d only had her to gain status in the business world. She couldn’t go back there. She’d rather take her chances and return to Planet Core.<br />
<br />
Sirens hauled her back from her thoughts. A police hover bike flew past her and ground to a halt. Glancing in her direction, the officer pointed at her.<br />
<br />
I haven’t done anything wrong!<br />
<br />
When the bike circled toward her, she ran—her first instinct. Malock knew too many people, and he’d reminded his recruits every day when he’d dropped in on their training. She hadn’t realized how those words would affect her until now.<br />
<br />
The siren on the bike screamed behind her. She motioned to cross at the intersection where people and hover vehicles waited for the lights to change. But instead, she spun around the corner, hoping to throw off the officer. She peered over her shoulder to see if the bike followed her, and smacked into what felt like a brick wall. Landing on her ass, she stared up at the mountain of a man before her.<br />
<br />
The guard from Planet Core.<br />
<br />
She crab-walked backward across the concrete sidewalk. Hopping onto her feet, she fled back onto the main street. She traveled the way she’d come, unsure if anywhere would be safe. No one could escape the cameras.<br />
<br />
Hurrying past her building, she spotted the hover bike reflected in its dark glass walls. The siren had been turned off, and the officer was almost on her. She scanned her surroundings for an escape route. Similar glass buildings lined the next few blocks, all owned by Planet Core. She couldn’t get into any of them now, and there was no place she could hide.<br />
<br />
Her lungs ached from running. Maybe she should surrender. What then? I’ll be killed.<br />
<br />
“Stop!” The officer on the bike rocketed in front of her.<br />
<br />
At the same time, something grabbed her arm and yanked her into darkness. A cloth slammed over her mouth, muffling her cry. Shit! Things just went from bad to worse.<br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Blurb:</b> <span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;">Derek Dunne is a Cordon
Bleu-trained food critic for the <i>prestigious
New York Monitor</i>, whose scathing review of a popular Italian bistro has
driven away all but the most loyal neighborhood patrons. </span></span><br />

<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Lucrezia Serafina
DiCicco is a clumsy business school drop-out, working as a chef and scrambling
to keep her family's restaurant afloat, after her father develops diabetes
and is banned from his kitchen for his own good.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Now, with <i>The Monitor</i> folding, Derek is searching
for his next career path and longing to get back to his first love—cooking—while
Lu is desperate for an influx of cash to save the struggling restaurant…even as
her father puts his foot down about non-family employees.</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Derek and Lu embark
on a marriage of inconvenience to save the restaurant. But can Lu ever
really trust the man who nearly destroyed her family, once noted her initials
spelled “LSD,” and her food was like a “bad trip?”</span></span><br />
<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="text-align: justify; text-indent: 0.3in;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Or will it be their
hearts on the chopping block? </span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Blurb: </b>A mixed-blood Native American wolf-shifter, abandoned by a teenage mother and ignored by an absentee father, Rio Waya has never fit in or felt worthy of love. But when he comes home to the Black Hills, he realizes he wants a mate of his own. Recovering from a cheating ex who started a new family behind her back, Sela López seeks escape to pull her life back together. As a documentary filmmaker and wildlife photographer, she rents a cabin in the Black Hills with plans to film the beleaguered wolf population. But she’s so busy looking through a camera lens she doesn’t see trouble coming. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sparks fly as mutual fears and vulnerabilities surface when Sela and Rio meet. She can’t figure out why the mysterious Mr. Waya is so anxious about having a documentary made of the Black Hills Wolves. But when his secret is exposed, all hell breaks loose. Can Rio win Sela’s trust and soothe her fears about allowing a hunky wolf-shifter into her heart?</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Excerpt:</b> </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Medium rare.” Gee set a steaming hamburger buried beneath heaps of fries and onion </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">rings in front of Sela.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Everything on the plate looked delicious. “Thank you. I thought I ordered this to go?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Stay awhile. Enjoy your food.” Gee gave Rio a sickly sweet little grin. “L.A. stood up to you. I like her.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The crease between his brows deepened. “Gee, no one asked your opinion.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">She gingerly picked up a fistful of scorching hot fries and ferried them over to Rio’s plate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He appeared puzzled. “Why?”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Peace offering.” She wondered what he looked like when he smiled. “I’m sure yours are cold by now.”</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Rio picked up one of the token offerings, lifting the hot french fry to his lips. He didn’t even care he was about to get burned big time. In fact, he wanted the pain. Better to take the punishment now than suffer a shitload of hurt after he did something stupid like make a play for Sela López, which absolutely, positively could not happen. To his eyes, she was knockout gorgeous with killer curves. She had plenty of sass, too. She hadn’t backed down a bit from his most withering I- just-put-you-in-your-place look.Something else caught him off-guard—her scent. One whiff of her subtle female aroma had brought his blood to a boil.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Holy crap, what had he gotten hims</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">elf into? By the tone of her e-mail inquiries about the cabin, he’d come to the false conclusion Miss López was a dried-up academic collecting data about the Los Lobos wolf population. Instead, a Latina temptress with an ass that made him want to bite his fist and whimper had shown up.</span><br />

Yep, you read the post title correct. It's time for my blog to represent my author name, rather then an idea I had over four years ago.<br />
<br />
Rise of the Slush will soon be no more, though I'll keep the posts up here for a bit. In the meantime, starting on Monday, February 23rd, all new posts and old ones will be moving over to my new blog site, soon-to-be website.<br />
<br />
I've had a lot of fun posting on blogger, and while sometimes the site itself posed some challenges I have enjoyed the years from the early, random blogs to reviews to the more spotlight, interview and promotional posts I've been able to host for other authors.<br />
<br />
On the new blog you can expect more of the same. I'll still be posting promo, Interviews with Victoria, and Thursday reads, but the blog will be joining up with a an actual website making it easy for new readers and current readers to locate me.<br />
<br />
I guess you could say I'm growing up. Who knew that would happen? Not, me.<br />
<br />
Stay safe and warm readers. It's cold in North America right now.<br />
<br />
I'll catch you on the flip-side.Landrahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16099833600342085109noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5677893971131076725.post-86570649962753261312015-02-17T00:00:00.000-08:002015-02-17T00:00:03.563-08:00Spotlight: The Mate Challenge by Milly Taiden<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="background: white;">The
first time she’d met him, she’d been visiting Ellie’s house to work on a
project together and bam! Mason opened the front door, took one look at her and
hauled her inside. What came next was something she’d never forget. She’d
gotten a single look at Mason with his spiky short hair and crazy number of arm
tattoos, nipple piercings and forgot how to talk. Then there was the immediate
first kiss. Any other guy to try that and she’d have decked him, but Mason
caught her off guard. He told her she was his and proceeded to kiss her like
she was the love of his life. Stupid shifter and his sexy tongue. He’d
destroyed her thinking ability way back when. Still, Emma wasn’t going to let
some shifter tell her what to do. She didn’t care how sexy he was. She ignored
his advances and proceeded to tell him she had a boyfriend, which she did at
the time. Did he care? Not at all. He went on to tell her he’d wait because he
knew in time she’d be his. Cocky asshole. Though Mason was an amazing man, he
was a protector, which was sweet, but that led to him trying to tell her what
to do. Her father had done that for too many years of her life and she was not
going there again. Not with mutt.</span><o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Sinfully sexy yacht builder and photographer Jace Savage has
lived an explosive, reckless life, playing by his own high-voltage rules. When
he met Zoé Dubois, his life came to a scorching stop – until trouble
re-surfaced. How much trouble can a "life on the edge" and all around
bad boy take?<br />
He's about to find out. Trouble comes knocking when the well-being of the child
in his care hangs in the balance, thanks to sudden interest from her
grandparents, her once disinterested father and Jace's obsessive ex-girlfriend,
Kate. <br />
Determined to give Zoé the passionately intimate life she deserves, as well as
sexy exploration on a daily basis, choices have to be made. Will Jace be man
enough to make them? Couple his desire to change with his constant urge to run,
and you have the gut-wrenching Trouble Times Two.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Excerpt:</b><o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Jace, stop it,” Zoé said, racing after his long legged
stride. “Tell me where you’re going.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“I don’t have time to explain,” he said, yanking a t-shirt
over his head, and socks on his feet. “I’ll be back soon, we’ll get this party
thing together, don’t worry.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Come on, stud, quit with the secrecy! You said you’d be up
front with me! It’s one step forward and two steps back with you!”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Marni stood between her and Jace, her arms lifted high, her
chin trembling.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Jace scooped down and picked her up. “You be good with my
baby, baby-girl. Don’t give her any grief. And you,” he said to Zoé. “You’ve
got to trust me. I’ve got something to take care of and I’ll be back in time
for party preparation. We’ve got a wedding to prepare for.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zoé threw back her head. “I told you—we’re not getting
married today. We’ve only known each other a little over a month.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“That’s enough time to know how you feel, yeah? It is for
me.” He gave her a heart-melting, good sense out the window kind of gaze.
“You’re not getting away from me, ever, baby.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Who says I want to get away?” she said, exasperated.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Exactly.” He sat Marni on the washer, positioning his body
so she wouldn’t fall, and inclined his lips toward Zoé’s mouth. “We’re getting
married. Done deal.” He connected with her mouth in a full on, tongue sliding,
tangled, searing kiss.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zoé barely remembered his words as her body responded. She
reached up and circled his neck with her hands, opening wide to him, their tongues
colliding in a slippery embrace, Jace pressing his ever-present, only for her
hard-on into her belly.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Marni squirmed and squealed, making them break apart.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“There’s more of this coming your way when I return.” His
green gaze bore into her and he tapped his fingertip on her nose. “But now I’ve
got to jet.” He turned and raced toward the garage, heading, no doubt, for his
beloved motorcycle, the Deus Grievous Angel.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Zoé opened the front door and watched him zip away. When the
dust died down on the dirt driveway, she and Marni wandered back inside, clouds
of irritation mixed with desire swamping her mind. A few minutes later, she
heard a key in the front door. She and the toddler made their way to the foyer.
“Forget something?” she said as the doorknob turned. She stopped cold, her
mouth agape as the gorgeous blond stepped through the front door, key in hand.
“Kate Bethlehem?” she asked, shocked. “Why is it you have a key to our house?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Who are you?” the woman responded icily. “Child care? And
what are you doing in my boyfriend’s house?”</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">

a writer. She heard frequent praise for her writing, as well as her sense of
humor. Scoffing at such admonitions and praise, she went on to pursue her life
of adventure, chock full of the things that make up a well-rounded adventurous
life: music (yup, she was a singer in a rock and roll band), dance (even
performed hip hop in Russia), rock climbing (ever hung from a rock wall a few
stories up? Yikes!), fire walking (taught high-ranking Moscow fire officials
how to walk the coals), kayaking, scuba diving (she's in love with sharks),
travel, and falling in love again and again. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Many of her books have been nominated and placed in the top
for several reader's choice awards, including Best Urban Fiction and Best
Erotic Paranormal. Living in the beautiful Pacific Northwest with the love of
her life and her two cats, she has now chosen to put fingers to keyboard and
write - when she's not in pursuit of another adventure! <o:p></o:p></span></div>

on their bucket lists, the two take a trip in an effort to create some good
memories, and forget the ugly truths, while they focus on their time in each
other’s arms.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Their vacation turns into much more than they
anticipated when they find themselves drawn to a club like sailors to a siren.
Several sexy waiters, some unforgettable lap dances, and one whip-wielding stud
later, they stumble upon the answer to their prayers. Their sex is wild again,
and the pair find themselves living for tomorrow. But with every answer comes
questions, and Micah’s search for more may destroy them both.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 115%;"><b>Excerpt: </b></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Micah made the landing
and stood watching James ascend. A few seconds later, he reached the top and
looked around. They found themselves outside a door almost as dark as the
night, set into a wall of Cimmerian brick that disappeared into the gloom on
either side. The doorman standing beside it was equally striking. He stood
taller than James’s six feet, and wore only a black leather kilt and heavy
boots that seemed to consume the lower part of his muscular legs. No one would
dare challenge the man. His torso rippled in ways James had never seen before.
His face was rugged, covered with a few days’ scruff trimmed precisely along
his jawline. Before he could think of what they should do, the doorman spoke.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">“Welcome to Razor. What’s
your pleasure tonight?”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">James stood speechless as
the deep bass of the man’s voice resonated through the night. “The music. The
music is wonderful. We caught it from a few blocks off and wanted to hear
more.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">A smile emerged on the
man’s face and changed him from executioner to guardian. “Of course, the music.
You’ve found the right place. Just in time, too. Tonight is drawing to a
close.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">He grasped the bronze
door pull that was easily as long and thick as James’s forearm and opened the
massive door with little apparent effort. He motioned them into the portal with
a wave. “Go. Enjoy yourself.”<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">The pair moved toward the
opening and peered inside. The room was dim, except for an empty stage bathed
in warm light. James noticed the musical trio creating the instrumentals that
had lured them through the foggy night. They glanced back to the grinning
bouncer who encouraged them forward with a nod.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 150%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">They stepped into the
room and paused to take it in. From the elaborately carved dark mahogany bar
lined with every imaginable type of liqueur, to the lovingly worn floor that
had seen thousands of pairs of feet during its existence, it was all club. The
couple moved inside as the door closed behind them with scarcely a whisper.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; mso-layout-grid-align: none; tab-stops: 1.0in 1.5in 2.0in; text-autospace: none; text-indent: .2in;">
<span style="line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">As they studied the room, two things struck
James. First, they were the only customers. Second, everyone else in the room
wore very little and were male. Their smiling waiter stepped to their table.
James swallowed hard as he looked at the man standing before him. He dressed in
the same boots as the bouncer, which were buckled to just below his knees. The
remainder of the waiter’s clothing consisted of a black leather jockstrap filled
to capacity.</span></span><br />

In an effort to bring more consistent features, I'll be posting at least two 'Thursday Reads' posts per month. These will be short reviews, and I'll stick to five topics. Finally, I'll rate the book- yes, no, or maybe. For my first ever Thursday Read I have Sam's Temptation by V.S. Morgan. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Blurb:</b> <span style="background-color: white;">On a working vacation in Montana, Chef Gabi Inez’s schedule allows her to enjoy planned activities and hangout with her cousin and his new family. She’s not looking for love, but spending time with a hunky cowboy sounds perfect. Gabi works hard, but every girl needs some fun. What if flirting leads to something more?</span><span style="background-color: white;"> </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br style="background-color: white;" /><span style="background-color: white;">Sam Malone is the brains behind Blackbird, a guest and working ranch. Since his parents’ death, his sole purpose has been family and the ranch’s survival. Burned by love in the past, he avoids the distraction that comes with beautiful women. But what’s a cowboy to do when a sweet and sassy chef gets under his skin, only to be told by her overprotective cousin she’s off limits? </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Hero:</b> Sam is definitely the nice, quiet guy who's really a freak behind closed doors. I really loved this cross between cowboy and geek as well. I can respect a guy who knows how to crunch numbers, has a love for Star Wars, and rides horses like a pro. He's also loyal to the core and believe in putting family first, until he meets Gabi.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Heroine:</b> Gabi is a geek chef. Yep and I fell in love right away because I'm also a geek chef. I watch science fiction shows and spend plenty of time in the kitchen. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Plot:</b> Sam and Gabi are meeting again. This is the first time they've seen each other in over a year. While their reunion isn't based on their relationship with one another, it is a chance to rekindle an attraction that started with their first interaction. Business as usual is hard to stick to, especially since Sam and Gabi connect to each other like moths to a bright light. Also both Gabi and Sam have given up a lot over the years to pursue their own careers or help their families, this story is all about doing something for themselves for once. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Setting:</b> It's a Montana ranch. Whoo hoo! I love the great outdoors, especially in books because I don't have to deal with bugs, snakes, and wildlife in general. This setting is a ranch with plenty of fun, horses, and adventures. Due to the length there isn't a ton of exploring, but what is provided are clear cut descriptions that gave me perfect mind-images of Blackbird. I was also very envious of their outdoor bar-be-que grill. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Sexual Performance:</b> Sam and Gabi heat up the sheets and they don't believe in a closed door policy. There's a far amount of tension in the story as well and I was impressed with how Morgan heated up the pages to a fair simmer, but still left plenty of time for the hero and heroine to get together. Sometimes with short stories it's difficult to pace the relationship, including the intimacy, but Morgan does an excellent job of timing everything just right. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Overall, I enjoyed this book and rate it a <b>yes.</b> If you like quick reads, fun characters, simmering tension, cowboys, and all-things-geek you can't go wrong with Sam's Temptation. I also hope that Morgan has plans for the other Malone brothers. There are still three more that need their own stories. Especially, Nate. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><b>Blurb:</b> <span style="background-color: white;">Ten years ago, visions of death and the babble of lupine voices in his head, drove lone wolf Brick Northridge to challenge his cruel and greedy pack alpha. Beaten by the alpha’s thugs and banished from the pack, Brick lives a life of seclusion in a mountain cabin in the Black Hills.</span></span><br />
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Born into a rival clan of feline shifters, skinwalker Summer McCoy, in her guise as a raven, watches Brick from afar, giving him back a reason to live through her sweet songs and special gifts.</span></div>
<div style="background-color: white;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">But when her clan attempts to tear them apart and threatens the pack that banished Brick so many years before, will their love be strong enough to withstand the forces bent on their destruction?</span></div>
