New Release Spotlight: Trouble Times Two by Calinda B

Blurb:

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?
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.
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.

Excerpt:

“Jace, stop it,” Zoé said, racing after his long legged stride. “Tell me where you’re going.”

“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.”

“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!”

Marni stood between her and Jace, her arms lifted high, her chin trembling.

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.”

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.”

“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.”

“Who says I want to get away?” she said, exasperated.

“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.

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.

Marni squirmed and squealed, making them break apart.

“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.

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?”

“Who are you?” the woman responded icily. “Child care? And what are you doing in my boyfriend’s house?”

Interviews with Victoria: Anne from High Risk Fever by Lea Bronsen

Victoria: Today, I'm hosting Anne from the super hot new release, High Risk Fever. For the first time I'm afraid to ask, but what's your favorite sexual position?

Anne: Hi Victoria, thanks for having me, and what a direct question to start off the interview, lol! I’ll tell you what, between us girls, I’ve had only one guy in my life and he’s only interested in the same, boring position. You know the one I mean. Needless to say I’m dying to try anything new, really, like being banged standing against a wall or bent over the kitchen table! How about you?

Victoria: I like to be in control. Call me crazy, but my man tied up on a bed or to anything in particular does something for me. Now, what about Boxers or Briefs? Thongs or Panties?

Anna: Personally, the first thing that comes to mind is “the smaller, the better,” but boxers can be incredibly sexy, too. I guess it depends on the guy. As for women’s lingerie, I find panties more comfortable to wear than thongs, but again, it depends on… the situation *grins* 

Victoria: Right? Thongs provide the perfect easy access opportunity, but going commando would do the same think. *winks* Can you tell me your biggest secret?

Anne: The biggest one? Hmm, that’s not too hard… When I was a kid, I would climb up to the attic in my parent’s bed and breakfast and peep through a hole in the floor—meaning the ceiling of the tenant rooms below—and watch couple after couple going at it. It’s safe to say I learned a few things in the erotic department over the years, he he.

Victoria: Ooh, fancy and frisky. I like a good voyeur every now and again. Describe your ideal woman or man in 3 words? Hell, why not both? *evil grin*

Anne: My ideal man is razor-sharp, hot-blooded, and mischievous. I’m not into girls, but I guess a nice body is a must, as is a gleam in her eye and a low, sexy voice ;)

Victoria: For a moment I thought you were describing me. Do you have any fantasies about being tied up? Hehe. Let's get back on track. My book is called 'What You Need' and I think it speaks for itself. *winks* What do you think about the author's title for your book?

Anne: To be honest, I had to ask Lea about this one because I wasn’t sure about the meaning. She said it’s a word play: high refers to the mountain scenery, risk refers to a certain situation I’m about to find myself in, involving one of the tenants, and fever refers to both the guy’s sickness throughout the story and, apparently, the level of heat and tension I’m going to experience… Sounds exciting, no?

Victoria: Very exciting, I'll need to recommend this to my author STAT. Thank you for stopping by, Anne. For all you readers out there who want to get involved with Anne, her voyeur tendencies, and the potential for some smoking hot romance I suggest you read on. 

Blurb: Two young and indecently handsome bicyclists visit a village in the French Alps during the summer holidays. Forced by a raging storm to spend the night at the local bed and breakfast, they invade the quiet lives of hostess Anne and her husband, Brian.

A power outage plunges the foursome into darkness, encouraging new liaisons to form, life-long secrets to be unveiled, and steamy lessons to be learned. But once the storm moves on, can the four find a balance and resume their normal lives?

New Release: Spanked by the Bad Boy by London Saint James

I love a good book that promises a bad boy and spankings. That's exactly what London Saint James is serving up in her latest release. A novella length, triple hot story about... well, I let the blurb, excerpt and the cover do all the talking. 

Blurb: As the personal assistant to the owner of one of the top engineering firms in Denver, Tiffany Brooks has worked hard at maintaining a professional façade, intent on ridding herself of terrible habits—like her attraction to bad boys. But when the owner of DC Construction rides his chopper into her world two years after their one-time anonymous sexual encounter, everything turns upside down.

Declan Cage is the type of guy who makes a lasting impression, especially with women, yet the gorgeous assistant at Stoub Engineering never remembers his name—or does she? Intrigued by her game, her sexier than sin body, and an infuriating prissy attitude, Ms. Brooks is begging to be taken into hand, and he’s the man to do it.

Armed with the knowledge Declan doesn’t recognize her, will Tiffany give in to her desire for him yet again, or will her past come back to haunt them both and ruin their chance at something real?

Excerpt: 

Tiffany Brooks heard the familiar tocato-tocato-tocato sound of a purring motor. She

swiveled in her office chair to look out the window and saw him park his custom

chopper next to her car on the paved lot of Stoub Engineering.

Straddling his chrome bike wearing chunky leather-work boots, jeans, and a simple

white T-shirt, Declan Cage set her heart to pitter-pat.

She touched her chest and groused, “You’re not attracted to him, Tiffany.”

Tucking a piece of sable-brown hair behind her ear, she straightened her shoulders

and put on her toothy-white smile.

“Good morning,” she said when he entered the building.

“Morning, Ms. Brooks.”

She observed him coming toward her desk and willed her face to look pleasant, yet

restrained. She needed to keep her gaze particularly uninterested in him although the

smug politeness she plastered across her features was hard to accomplish. Declan had a

swagger that made her want to gawk at him.

“How are you today?” he asked.

“I’m fine,” she said. “And you?”

“Fabulous.”

Her response was a blank faced, “I’m sorry. I’m not good with names.”

He crinkled his brow, and the muscle in his jaw flexed. Yeah. There it was. The look.

She’d definitely gotten under his skin.

“I’m Declan.” He turned slightly to show her his back and gestured over his shoulder

toward the logo. The silver skull ring he wore on his thumb gleamed. “From DC

Construction,” he said. She couldn’t help but notice the way his muscles bulged beneath

the shirt.

“Oh yes.” She waved her hand about.

She knew who he was and had immediately recognized him the first time he’d

sauntered into the office over a month ago. She’d played it cool then, and she’d play it

cool now. Besides, revealing her little secret would be nothing but detrimental. Yet even

if it was a dangerous game, she loved bugging the hell out of him with her I’m-bad-with names

thing, especially since she imagined he wasn’t used to a woman forgetting him.

Continuing with the I’m-a-busy-professional-who’s-not-impressed-by-you farce, she

casually glanced at her laptop, flipped the lid closed, then looked back up at him. “How

may I help you today?”

“Matthew called me this morning. He said he left some plans here and I should come

by to pick them up.”

“Plans for the Cherry Hills project, right?”

Declan smiled, and his dimples made an appearance through the brownish stubble on

his face. Tiffany shook her legs beneath her desk a couple of times then stopped the

nervous movement, glad he couldn’t see them.

“Yes,” he said. “For the parking garage.”

She rolled her chair back and stood, sliding her hands down the sides of her hips,

hoping to smooth out any wrinkles in her skirt and secretly wishing to bring attention to

her curves. She removed her sweater so the silk and lace tank top hidden beneath could

be seen. When she flopped the garment over the back of her chair, she straightened her

spine and pressed her ample breasts out.

“Follow me,” she said, tugging at the hem of her shirt.

Satisfied she’d given him a fairly good view of her hourglass figure, she glanced up.

Declan stood beside her, and even though she wore four-inch heels, he towered above

her. His height sort of intimidated her, but her body didn’t seem to impress him.

Crap.

He pulled a cell phone from the leather holder hooked to his jeans and stared at the

screen. “Sorry,” he said in a bored tone. “I forgot to send a text.” His fingers tapped. He

put the phone away in a lackadaisical manner. “Lead on.”

Unwilling to let his lack of interest faze her, she gave Declan her back and walked.

“The plans are in Mr. Stoub’s office.”

“Super,” he said.

She sashayed across the room with her chin held high, stopping at the marble counter

across from the conference room and pointing toward the fancy coffeemaker. “There’s

fresh coffee. Can I get you some?”

“No. I’m fine. But thanks for offering,” he said.

“Mm.” She continued toward the office, Declan following her. “Well.…” After walking

in, she eyed several elongated white tubes sitting on top of the oversized desk and

gestured toward one wingback chair. “Have a seat. It will take me a second or two to find

the right drawings.” She walked around the office furniture as Declan sat on the edge of

the chair. Picking up one tube, she read the label. “Sawyer,” she said and set it down in

too much of a rush. Her hand accidently hit the other containers. They jostled and

started to roll. She tried to stop their momentum, but several of the cylinders went over

the side and hit the floor. “Geez Louise.” Tiffany sidestepped and bent to get them.

Declan had already jumped up to help her.

“Here, let me,” he said, coming to her side and squatting next to her.

When he reached for the mess, his right arm brushed against the top portion of her

left shoulder. She sucked in a breath at the contact and thought her heart would stop

from the frisson of energy snapping over her skin. Every part of her body became aware

of him. He was potent. And virile. A rough, intoxicating man in his prime.

Refusing to be reduced to a quivering weakling, she reminded herself he was only a

man, akin to any other, and turned to see his face. “Thank you.”

He met her gaze. “Anytime.”

Those eyes. The color of the sea. Deep, blue-green, and fathomless.

Who was she trying to kid? Declan Cage wasn’t just any man. She looked away and

focused on something else.

Tiffany fixed her attention on the clutter she’d created, but she was still watching

him—staring at his large hands while he gathered up the blueprint holders. She licked

her lips and pictured those hands on her body, fondling her.
