HUMP-DAY HUNK -- Hot Biker Guy

My profound apologies -- I'm having major security certificate issues with my blogger account, so I'm not able to post today's hunk. Here's hot biker guy to keep you warm until next Wednesday, when, hopefully, all issues will be resolved.

MEET THE HERORaven from Rhythm of the Drum

Well, the taxes are done and filed!

Today I'm introducing Silver Raven, the gorgeous Native American Hero in my last release, Rhythm of the Drum, part of the Earth Songs series at The Wild Rose Press.

Blurb:

Ella Morgan loves her mother and father, but she's grown weary of their overbearing protectiveness. She longs for excitement, adventure, and most of all, love. When she finds an injured Lakota warrior hiding in her barn, she's intrigued by the brave and handsome man.

Silver Raven has found his soul mate in the woman with eyes the color of violets at first bloom. Can he convince her to leave her home and family and take her rightful place as his woman? Or will Ella's father and the prejudices of society keep them apart?

Excerpt:

Ella’s mouth dropped open as she stared into Raven’s smoldering gaze. When he lowered his head and took her lips with his, she didn’t resist.

The sensation of his tongue in her mouth was new and different. But not unpleasant. Oh, no, not at all. It was hot, so hot, and she tasted him. Raven. Slightly sweet, like cinnamon sprinkled over a tart apple. He explored her mouth, touching every crevice. When she tried to speak, to ask what to do, only wordless sounds, muffled by his mouth over hers, emerged.

If only she knew how to please him. She wanted to kiss him back, to tangle her tongue with his. To grasp his strong shoulders and pull him ever closer until nothing could separate them.

Such impure thoughts! But she didn’t chide herself, because only seconds later she couldn’t think at all. She only felt. Felt with all her body, all her heart, all her soul, that she wanted Raven. Wanted to be with him. In every way a woman could be with a man. She boldly forced her tongue into his mouth.

He groaned and tightened his arms around her. Instinctively, she knew her actions pleased him. And she wanted to please him. In all her life, she had never wanted anything more.

She let her tongue wander over his teeth, caress the inside of his cheeks. When he pulled back, panting, she traced his full lips, first the upper, then the lower, and she reveled in his moans. She smiled against his mouth.

“Do I please you?” she whispered.

“Always, tehila.” His breath caressed her cheek. “Always.”

She sighed and turned her head to draw a much needed breath. To no avail, however. When Raven pressed a trail of wet kisses down the side of her neck, she lost her air once more.

“Will you let me show you,” he whispered, “some of the wonders that exist between a man and a woman?”

“I-Isn’t that what you’re doing?” Ella barely recognized her own voice. It seemed lower, earthier.

“Yes, but there is more than kissing. I can take you to the stars and back. If you will allow me.” He rained kisses over both her cheeks, then found a place below her ear and nibbled. Ella’s skin heated, yet she shivered. Such sweet contradiction.

“I don’t understand.”

“Surely, you know what occurs in the marriage bed?” Raven untied the string binding her braid and slowly tunneled his fingers through her thick locks. The gentle tugging of her hair, the warmth of his hands on her scalp—all good, all touched her soul.

“Y-yes. Of course.” She knew of the physical act. She inhaled deep. What a warm night!

Raven’s chuckle tickled her neck. “Would you enjoy soaring into the sky with me, tehila? I could lead you to places you have never dreamed of, all without taking your maidenhead. Just say the word, and I will.”

Thank You, Seriously Reviewed!

My good friend Paty Jager brought the following review for Lessons of the Heart to my attention. Many thanks to the readers at Seriously Reviewed!

I could NOT put it down! I could feel the heat and attraction between these two characters starting in the first chapter. He is hot HOT! and she is not bad looking herself.

This story is about an old maid school teacher and a widowed farmer in Dakota Territory in the 1870s . She thinks she is unattractive, plain and too tall (she is six feet). He is a large tall handsome blond father. She is romantic and caring, while he is cold and emotionally crippled with nightmares about the Civil War. And now, two men want to marry her, but neither mentions love.

They meet at the schoolhouse where she teaches his daughter.Their strong personalities clash at this first encounter. They seem to be total opposites, but like the old saying, 'opposites attract'. WOW, did the attraction sizzle between these two. They could not keep their hands off each other then and throughout their story. The weather is hot and steamy and so are they.

This short story is packed with action; from grass fires to his daughter's health.

I could not put this story down. I enjoyed every page and I can't wait until I read another book by Ms. Hardt.

HUMP-DAY HUNK -- Drew Pare

I couldn't find out much about Drew except that he's a model, he's 6' 1", and he has amazing blue eyes...then again, do we really need to know any more?

MEET THE HEROJon from Loving Eve

Monday again! They just keep coming, don't they? Today I'm over at Mama Writers introducing my six part series on sensory detail. Once I have the dates, I'll post them here.

I took last Monday off at this blog, but today I'm back to introduce you to Jon, the second hero in Loving Eve. If you remember the post on Brian, you'll see that Jon is much different.

Belly dancer Eve Costello has a problem. She’s in love with both her roommates. Satisfied to simply worship them from afar, she’s unprepared when they drop a bomb. Jon and Brian are in love with her, too, and they want her to choose between them. Their solution? She spends one evening with each of them, allowing them to woo her before she makes her decision. Will she be able to choose one over the other? Or will she be condemned to choosing neither, leaving all three of them miserable?

“Oh…” Her soft sigh drifted over his cheek like the lightest desert breeze.

He lay down on the bed and pulled her against his body. “Tell me what you want, honey.”

He wanted her to take the lead. He wasn’t a submissive. Nothing like that. But he liked a strong woman in the bedroom. He spent all day in control of others’ lives. He told them what to eat, how to work out, when to see a medical professional. He didn’t mind being in charge. He loved his job. And he certainly wasn’t averse to taking the lead in bed. But what really revved his motor was a woman who took what she wanted.

He’d give Eve anything. When he’d returned from turning off his cell phone and she’d demanded he lick her pussy, he’d almost creamed all over himself right there.

Eve was the strongest woman he knew. She knew how to get what she wanted in life. Now he wanted her to take what she wanted in the bedroom.

From him.

“What do you want, Eve?” His deep voice trembled and he steadied it. “Tell me.”

“Anything you want, Jon.” She winked at him and his cock hardened even further. Damn, she was beautiful.

“I want you to take what you’re after, gorgeous.” He steadied his voice again. “Do whatever you want to me.”

“Hmm.” Her foggy eyes twinkled. “I do have something in mind, handsome. Lie down.”

He complied, the rumpled blankets a soft comfort against his tense, needy body. He waited for another command, but instead she backed toward the door.

“Where are you going?”

“Don’t worry. I’ll be right back.”

She returned momentarily, her hands filled with several of the smaller scarves she used as color accents on her various dance costumes. What did she have up her sleeve?

Hell, he didn’t care. Whatever it was, he was game.

“Grasp the headboard, Jonny.”

What? He widened his eyes. She sat on the edge of the bed and fingered the silky fabric. Her chestnut hair fell in soft waves over her shoulders. Curls dangled over her milky breasts. His erection surged in time with his rapid pulse.

“You heard me. You’ve been begging me to take charge all evening.” She leaned forward and brushed her satiny lips against his. “This is something I’ve always fantasized about. Now grasp the headboard.”

EROTIC HORIZON REVIEWS TWO OF MY BOOKS

THE COWBOY AND THE COUGAR

THE COWBOY AND THE COUGAR is a sweet read. I love a book with a great start and when within the first few pages both the hero and the heroine throw caution to the wind and made a meal of each other - I was not expecting a smooth ride.

Holly and Jack did not disappoint me. Holly is a great gal but with bad news and trying to put her live in order – her idea of long term relationship is not the same as Jack's, because there is little doubt that Jack has given his all to Holly.

I really liked Holly and Jack, mix in a precocious little boy and ranching along with some sarcastic humour – I was good. The younger man/older woman plot is never an easy mix at the best of times, but I thought Ms. Hardt delved beyond the great sex that they were having.

She showed the worry, the need to conform and of course what happens when there is nowhere left to turn. All in all I really like this one and Ms. Hardt got a whole lot of this book right.

LOVING EVE

The tale starts with belly dancer Eve pondering over the fact that she has fallen in love with her two roommates Jon and Brian, both men have also fallen in love with her and this is where the story begins in earnest…

When both men confess that they are in love with her, Eve comes up with a plan. Both men spending time alone with her - one on one and making her see what they each have to offer her.

There follows all three doing the dance of lust, the dance of love and what a dance it was – on the piano, on the table and I was having a blast with it all.

After the dance has ended however Eve must choose one of these men or she may have to give them both up – because she wants it all.

Ms. Hardt has put together a nice little romp in LOVING EVE. As I mentioned before this is a slice out of these three lives, it just happen to be the slice where they have to sort their feeling and their future out.

...The book is all about these three connecting beyond the boundaries of friendship. LOVING EVE is a great little read- most certainly worth the time.

MEET THE HEROBrian from Loving Eve

Back for one of my own heroes again. This time it's one of two! Yes, Loving Eve, my new release from Ellora's Cave, ends in a menage relationship. Today you'll meet one of the heroes who wins Eve's heart, Brian. I hope you enjoy!

Blurb:

Belly dancer Eve Costello has a problem. She’s in love with both her roommates. Satisfied to simply worship them from afar, she’s unprepared when they drop a bomb. Jon and Brian are in love with her, too, and they want her to choose between them. Their solution? She spends one evening with each of them, allowing them to woo her before she makes her decision. Will she be able to choose one over the other? Or will she be condemned to choosing neither, leaving all three of them miserable?

Excerpt (R):

“Do you like it hard, Eve?” He leaned toward her, his breath a hot caress. “Do you like to be fucked this way?”

Her moan was her answer. Brian’s fingers entwined in her curls and found her clit. He pinched the inflamed button and she shattered. The climax raged inside her pussy. She spasmed around his cock. Her outer lips prickled and tiny convulsions spread through her tummy, up to the rapid pounding of her heart, out to her arms and legs. Upward she soared until she floated above the piano. Brian still hammered into her. She cried his name, begged him for more, and he gave it. He fucked her hard and fast, just like he’d promised.

And just as she peaked, he thrust into her one last time and his release pulsated within her.

She lay atop the piano sated, her lover clamped between her legs, still inside her. She sighed. “Good, Bri.”

He let out a husky chuckle. “Good doesn’t even begin to describe it.”

She smiled. “You aren’t what I expected.”

He winked. “You expected a nice gentlemanly fuck, didn’t you?”

“Well, I’m not sure. Maybe, to a certain extent. I knew sex with you would be good, no matter what type it was.”

“Good?” He curved his lips into a lazy half-grin. “Just good?”

“Okay, great.”

“Hmm. Great. Not bad for the first round.” He pulled away from her, disposed of the condom, and extended his hand to help her off the piano. “We’re by no means done, sweetheart.”

Eve’s breath caught. Not done? Thank God. She didn’t want to be done. She let out a nervous laugh. “I’m yours for the night.”

“And the night is still young.” He kissed her fingertips. Back to gentlemanly. Her insides squirmed. How she loved him!

“I hope our dinner isn’t too cold,” she said.

“That’s what the microwave is for.” He pulled her into his embrace. Perspiration dripped between them. Eve inhaled the crisp, male scent of Brian. So good.
“What do you want to do, then?”

He cupped one swollen breast and pressed his lips to her cheek. “I want to finish our dinner.”

“Okay.”

“And then I want to eat you for dessert.”
