I promise pictures and details about a certain person’s drunken behavior soon!

In the meantime, here are some of the guys we’ve been getting to see and sorta hang out with:

     

It’s rough.  But we’re managing…

Red Hot Premiere: Runaway Hits On Demand!

Posted in T on September 29, 2011 by ebookaddict

So It is my turn to “Premiere” something and of course as everyone knows I’m not an author, so I turn to other authors and I can’t seem to decide. Everything on the premiere list looks so good I can’t choose just one, so I think I am going to break the rules maybe just a bit… and turn to what was.

One of the runaway hits this year has been Midnight Matings series by three of my favorite directors (re: authors) Stormy Glenn, Joyee Flynn and Gabrielle Evans. This series took the reading world by storm a few months back with an interesting turn of events in the paranormal world, Elders with good intentions and eye raising ideas, they kept us tuned in with their tales interspecies matings, mystery and suspense and lots of really HOT sex.

Sadly the series is on a bit of a hiatus at the moment as the directors turn to other pursuits (re: writing other books) but they can always be found On Demand while we wait for the return of the Midnight Matings.

Series: Midnight Matings

Directors: Stormy Glenn; Joyee Flynn; Gabrielle Evans

Station: Siren Publishing

Time Slot: On Demand

The Cast: werewolves, mice, ferrets, fairies, lions, tigers, cats, vampires, bunnies, monkeys, penguins, sirens, Hippogriffs, a Phoenix, and a hell hound, forgive me if I missed anyone.

The Lure: The Gathering is called. The spell is cast. There is no escaping the Midnight Matings.

Interesting Note: The Nice thing about this series is it doesn’t have to be watched in order pick any episode and have fun you’ll keep coming back for more.

 Squeak and a Roar (MM)  Scales and a Tail (MM)  Fire and Ash (MM) 

 Fang and Fur (MM)  Myth and Mischief (MM)  Two Fangs and a Hoof (MMM)

  Fantasy, Legend, and the Guardian (MMM)  Spells and Bananas (MM)  White Paws and a Dream (MM) 

 Fur and Flightless (MM)  Sparkle and Purr (MM)  Howl and Harmony (MM)  

I don’t have any books to give away but I like to think I have something just as nice. I will be giving away one my bracelets to one winner and a friend of their choice. I’ll discuss the details with the winner but here is a small preview.

To be entered to not only win one of my bracelets but be entered to win the Kindle just answer my question… If you were a shifter what would you be and why?

Romanticon – here I come…

Posted in Valerie Tibbs on September 28, 2011 by vtibbs

This is my second year going to Romanticon and I’m very excited.  It doesn’t ‘officially’ start until tomorrow, but I wanted to get up there (I’m driving) and get situated before the festivities began.

Thursday, I will be picking up my friends Michelle and Suzy at the airport, and then later I’ll be picking up Rhian and her hubby at the bus station.  I can’t wait to see everyone.  It’s been a year since I’ve seen Michelle and Suzy and over 3 since I’ve seen Rhian!  I’ve never met her hubby, I hope we don’t scare (scar) him too much.  lol

Anyone else going?

If you are, stop by and say hello!  You should be able to recognize us – we’ll probably be the loudest at the hotel.

Mari, Rhian and Jayne will be at the book signing on Sunday, so be sure to find them if you do make it.  They’d love to see you!

I will try to keep up with the happenings at Romanticon and post pictures and possibly some post tweets, so follow us on Twitter.

Red Hot Premieres! Slam Dunk by Mari Carr

Posted in Mari Carr on September 27, 2011 by maricarr
Today is the release of the latest book in my Black & White Collection at Samhain, Slam Dunk.  Answer today’s question to win your choice of my backlist.  Your entry will also count toward our Red Hot Premiere Grand Prize, which we will be giving away on October 1st, so be sure to come back and check out the whole line up!
 
Title:  Slam Dunk (Black & White Collection)

Premise:Who says you can only score on the court?

Trey Donovan is mourning the end of summer with fellow teachers when Ellie Hunter walks into Tully’s Bar. Better yet, she’s now a former rival basketball coach and the newest science teacher at his high school. He can’t think of anyone better to fill the vacant assistant coach job. In fact, if he plays his cards right, she might end up his perfect match off the court, too.

If she stops holding him at arm’s length long enough to give him a chance.

Coming off a year of bad decisions that not only broke her heart, but cost her a job, Ellie has good reason to swear off workplace romances. Her undeniable—and undeniably mutual—attraction to Trey is a serious threat to her resolve. Especially since Trey’s too-easy capitulation to her boundaries stings just a little too much.

Funny thing, though. When she sees Trey dancing with someone else, the edges of her vision turn decidedly green. And when another man tries to kiss Ellie, Trey sees red.

Maybe it wouldn’t hurt to fudge the rules. Just a little. After all, casual sex doesn’t count. Right? 

Product Warnings:  Lots of red-hot, half-dressed court presses complete with sex toys, food, bubble baths, strip poker and, oh yeah, balls.  

Stars: Trey Donovan – The “player” finally grows up! In Happy Hour, Trey was the guy always looking for a good time, his cell phone containing the ultimate booty call list. In Slam Dunk, he meets the woman who makes him think future…and forever.

Ellie Hunter – She’s on the rebound from a bad break-up and NOT looking for another workplace relationship. Unfortunately for her, Trey pushes all her hot buttons…twice!

Contest Question:  What’s your favorite sport and why? (You can read about the rest of the Black & White Collection here if you’re not familiar with prior books).
Good luck and happy reading.

All of you – Premiers TODAY!

Only You series

Claire Jones never dreamed the fantasies she’d been having about the young guy next door would ever become reality but after a push from her best friend and one encounter involving dirty laundry she’s getting more reality than one woman should be allowed. But with reality comes emotion and Claire finds herself falling deeper and deeper under Ryan’s spell.

Ryan Doherty wants in Claire’s pants but he soon discovers hot sex isn’t all he’s after. She makes him happy in a way nothing and no one else ever has and if he has to use their amazing chemistry to stay in her life he will. Because having more of Claire isn’t an option. It’s the only choice.

Can Ryan and Claire bridge the age gap to find the love of a life time or will what others think destroy the best thing either of them has ever found?

Excerpt

Frazzled, hot, and sticky she was ready for a whole bottle of wine when she finally approached her drive at little less than top speed. Too distracted by her own annoyance, Claire didn’t notice the man standing in the parking lot until she nearly ran him over. Cursing a blue streak any sailor worth his salt would envy, she slammed on the brakes, threw the car into park, and flung her door open.

“Are you fucking crazy!” she screamed as she launched from the vehicle. “I could have run you dow—” The air left her lungs and her words caught in her throat. The glistening flesh of a god-like, bare male chest numbed her mind and turned her body into a quivering vessel of need.

Ryan.

God the man is to die for, Claire would have had to be dead not to notice. Even dead I’d notice him. She tried to swallow over the lump of harsh words in her throat.

“Evening, Claire, bad day at the office?”

Ryan’s smirk should have been irritating. Instead it did funny things to her belly, stirred and warmed it like soup in a saucepan. She licked her lips, swallowed again, and finally dragged a few words from the depths of lust-induced stupidity. “Drive home.”

Jeez, could I be anymore lame? The man probably thought she was an idiot. Hell, she acted like a dumb schoolgirl every time he was around, so who could blame him if he did?

“Ah, yes. I heard there was a bad accident on the highway earlier. They said traffic would be screwed for hours.”

His gaze dropped to where her blouse sat snug across her breasts, the material raising and lowering with every labored breath. Her nipples strained beneath her bra. The look in his eyes one of hunger—desire. Could Jane be right about him?The thought sent shockwaves of heat bursting out from the breasts he hadn’t stopped staring at. Her pulse quickened, her breath turned short—choppy. Her clit ached, and Claire squeezed her thighs together to ease the throb.

Ryan’s nostrils flared, and his gaze came back to meet hers. The heat and lust swirling in the green orbs delivered another burst of heat to her body. Claire shivered. Goose bumps sprang up all over her skin and moisture filled her panties. God, if he could do that with a look what could he do with a touch? Sparks of gold ignited in his eyes, and Claire wondered why she’d never noticed those flecks of light before. Had she ever allowed herself to look that close?

No. She’d kept contact with Ryan to a minimum. Usually because she found it hard to string a sentence together with the way he had her body exploding to life whenever he got close. Oh, who was she kidding? Just thinking about him sent her nerve endings into a frenzied bunch of sex-craving knots. Claire closed her eyes and took a deep breath in an attempt to calm herself. Big mistake.

The scent of hot, sweaty male filled her nose and lungs. Her body went from mild arousal to fever pitch in a nanosecond. The smell of a hardworking man had always turned Claire on, but coming from Ryan it tweaked her senses on a whole new level. Her pussy throbbed and turned slick, her breasts swelled and grew heavy, her nipples rasped against the cotton bra she wore. Her eyes popped open wide, and without permission her torso leaned closer to what tantalized her.

A cool breeze ruffled the hems of her skirt and blouse, drifting beneath the material to flow over heated skin. Her clit burned with want, and Claire knew she could climax with minimal effort. Hell, she was so close it would take no more than a brush of his hand or lips to set her off.

Shit. She had to get away.

Without a word she spun on her heels and dove back into her car. Slamming the door, she put the car in gear and shot into her parking spot. In one move she switched the engine off and grabbed her handbag. After jumping from her seat, she shut the door with her hip and strode across the asphalt. Aiming her keys over her shoulder, she activated the door locks and alarm.

“Gotta go. Can’t stop,” she called out as she made a dash for the front of her townhouse . . . safety.

It took longer than she liked to fumble her way inside and close the door behind her. Slumping against the cool timber, Claire let her head fall back with a thunk and stared at the ceiling in her foyer. She shuddered. She’d just made a complete fool of herself, and even if she’d been remotely contemplating doing as Jane had suggested and what her body screamed for, she’d probably just managed to ruin any hope she may have had at succeeding.
