A Week of Releases…and a CHALLENGE!
The International Heat ladies have been busy. This week there’s THREE releases. THREE!
Here’s a little peak at what’s coming your way…
29th Muscle for Hire
Now I’m not going to share any excerpts from the above in this post. What I am going to do is ask you to suggest a word and Mari, Bianca or myself will see if that word is in one of our releases and post its paragraph in our reply. Just a little bit of silly fun for today.
Who wants to throw out the first word? 
January 27, 2013 at 5:44 pm
Lol I’ll play along, how about “moist” is that word in anyone of your new releases?
January 27, 2013 at 5:50 pm
Timitra, I accept that challenge. Ready? This is from Muscle for Hire
She let out a raspy, “yes”, her head rolling on the brick wall, her lips parted and moist with his saliva. “Suck it,” she whispered. “Suck it.”
January 27, 2013 at 6:32 pm
I got one! This is from Dragon Storm:
“The moist air clung to her skin, making her want to fan herself, but she dared not. She was sure she’d be the center of all their jokes for the next hour if she let on how the place was affecting her so easily. Better to play coy a little longer.”
January 27, 2013 at 5:54 pm
yay!!! Fun game. I’m off to look for moist in Misplaced Lessons.
January 27, 2013 at 6:09 pm
Yay!
January 27, 2013 at 5:56 pm
I’m cheating…just a little. Found a variation of moist in Misplaced Lessons.
His fingers found her clit, rubbing with enough pressure to rouse a flame from what she thought were dying embers. She groaned, fresh moisture easing his path as he pushed deep.
January 27, 2013 at 6:01 pm
Wall
January 27, 2013 at 6:10 pm
Here’s one for “wall” from Muscle for Hire, Alex.
Their lips came together, hard and savage and brutal. The kiss was wild. He crushed her to his body and fucked her mouth with his tongue, her moans of rapture heating his lust. She clung to him, her fingernails scraping at the back of his neck as he drove her backward to the brick wall behind her.
January 27, 2013 at 6:33 pm
I’ve got a good one for “wall” from Dragon Storm:
“She felt him tremble a moment before he bent and lifted her by the arms, twirling and pushing her up against the wall. She kicked off her shoes and shimmied out of her pants even before he got to it. She wanted him inside her. Now.”
January 27, 2013 at 6:03 pm
I’ll jump in…how about the word ‘held’
January 27, 2013 at 6:43 pm
I can do “held” Ashley
“So tell me, super soldier—” Rowan’s stare held his, a shadow deep in her eyes Aslin longed to understand, “—what exactly are you hoping to achieve working on Dead Even with my brother?”
January 27, 2013 at 6:04 pm
How about “sweaty”?
January 27, 2013 at 6:11 pm
Ooooh, I’ve got one for “sweaty”! From Muscle for HIre…
Scared? Oh God, scared couldn’t be further from the truth. And yet that’s exactly how her body was reacting. Her heart raced, her palms were sweaty, the hair on her nape was on end and her mouth was dry. If it wasn’t for the fact her damn pussy was contracting and constricting and fluttering like mad she’d say scared was exactly how she felt.
January 27, 2013 at 6:21 pm
I think Muscle For Hire has a whole lotta dirty! Can’t wait to get this one.
January 27, 2013 at 6:07 pm
Sadly my walls were boring in Misplaced Lessons. No sex up against the wall (sigh, I’m losing my touch), BUT I hope to redeem myself with “Held”
They stopped in front of a room and Tom held up a keycard, like those used in hotels. For a sex club, Velvet Chains was certainly more upscale and classy than she’d expected.
January 27, 2013 at 6:12 pm
I’d love the keycard to a sex club, Mari
January 27, 2013 at 6:08 pm
WHAT??? Not one sweaty? Sigh…I think I’m going to have to turn in my erotic romance writers card. LOL
January 27, 2013 at 6:13 pm
Nope. No turning in anything except hot erotic romance from you, Ms Carr
January 27, 2013 at 6:09 pm
how about the word frustrated
January 27, 2013 at 6:14 pm
I’ve got a frustrated (a lot of my characters feel that way for a while in my books it seems
). This is from Muscle for Hire…
And so he continued his tender worship of her nipple, her frustrated cries for more feeding the fire in his groin.
January 27, 2013 at 6:13 pm
How about the word “TWO”
January 27, 2013 at 6:15 pm
Got a naughty one for this. Ready?
He slid his mouth to her other breast, cupping its weight with a gentle hand as he licked at her nipple. One swipe of his tongue. Two. Three.
January 27, 2013 at 6:20 pm
Good one I knew there would be something naughty to go with this
January 27, 2013 at 6:37 pm
Dragon Storm is a menage, so there were a lot of choices for “two”, but I’ll go with this one:
“She felt cherished. Pampered and spoiled by two of the most delectable men she had ever known—or would ever know. After these two, she knew she would be spoiled for anyone else.”
January 27, 2013 at 6:46 pm
I saw the two guys pictured in the background of the cover and knew that this will be one that I will like
January 27, 2013 at 6:13 pm
With as much sex as y’all put in your books, I bet you can find his easy enough. Climax
January 27, 2013 at 6:16 pm
Hehe. Yep. Climax was easy. Hell, I had a lot to choose from. How’s this?
Tremors racked her frame, shaking her bones so strongly she feared she’d break. Had she ever had an orgasm before now? There was no way she could compare those lukewarm imposters to this climax.
January 27, 2013 at 6:16 pm
Love that word, Nancy
The feverish, heady thought roared through his head. His release erupted from him, detonating in the deepest part of his groin before radiating out to his balls, the base of his spine, his anus. It shot up his spine like a current of white-hot fire. It sank into the pit of his gut. He sucked in breath after breath through clenched teeth, watching Rowan witness his climax, wanting her to see exactly what she did to him.
(That’s from Muscle for Hire
)
January 27, 2013 at 7:32 pm
I know, I recognize that scene: loved that description. Now, I think I need to go back and read that book again…soon!
January 27, 2013 at 6:17 pm
Oh…and we should say…since Lexxie has TWO releases this week, I said I’d search Misplaced Lessons, so her examples are from Muscle for Hire.
January 27, 2013 at 6:27 pm
Oh! I just saw this! I was at a baby shower all day and just got home… give me a bit to catch up!
Fun idea, Lexxie!!! 
January 27, 2013 at 6:42 pm
This should be an easy on.Hoe about “cock”
January 27, 2013 at 6:43 pm
Ok that should be How not Hoe.lol
January 27, 2013 at 6:50 pm
Oh yeah!! I’m getting a piece of this action. LOL
Her eyelids drifted open just as the head of his cock nudged against her pussy, seeking entrance. She thought she was too done in to do much more than simply go along for the ride. But she was mistaken. Andrew wasn’t content to let her be the passive observer as he found his pleasure in her body. He’d yet to allow her to be a wallflower at his party.
January 27, 2013 at 6:45 pm
Ohhh man, so many to choose from. How’s this one?
She placed a large basket of thin, hot chips between them, followed by a red plastic bottle. A disconnected part of Aslin’s unsettled mind told him it was tomato sauce, not ketchup the waitress was giving them, another part thanking bloody Christ she’d arrived when she had. His cock was threatening to burst free of his fly. He needed the distraction from his overwhelming response to Rowan.
January 27, 2013 at 6:53 pm
I am going to go out on a limb and say that there has to be passages with the word ‘deep’.
January 27, 2013 at 6:59 pm
Safe bet! LOL. This one makes me blush a little.
“God. Fuck me harder, Andrew. Deeper.”
January 27, 2013 at 7:00 pm
hahaha – from Dragon Storm:
“She smiled at him as she straddled his thighs, taking him as deep as she possibly could, holding his gaze as she claimed him—body and soul.”
January 27, 2013 at 7:22 pm
Soooo many deeps (does this mean I’m not as superficial as I always feared? *grin*)
She leant her shoulders back into the door, every nerve-ending sizzling with scalding, mounting need as he fucked her pussy with his tongue. Another climax built within her walls, a radiating tension that shot up her spine and deep into her core. “Oh, yes, yes,” she moaned, rolling her head side to side. “Yes.”
January 27, 2013 at 7:01 pm
Since elaine8 took the word I wanted, I’d going with “hard”".
January 27, 2013 at 7:13 pm
Oh yeah. I can do hard. Misplaced Lessons.
Andrew grasped a handful of her hair, using his hold to pull her upright. He continued to pummel her with hard shoves while he gripped her breast with his free hand, squeezing the sensitive flesh until she cried out.
January 27, 2013 at 7:19 pm
I’m going to keep this one PG-rated. LOL. From Dragon Storm:
“Darius took her in his arms. Connor came up behind her, boxing her in with their warmth and masculine hardness.”
January 27, 2013 at 7:24 pm
You knew there was going to be something hard in a book called Muscle for Hire, right?
And damn her nipples for puckering so hard at his proximity. And his…his…fuck, damn his everything.
January 27, 2013 at 7:25 pm
I love that line!!! Only you, Lex.
January 27, 2013 at 7:36 pm
January 27, 2013 at 7:37 pm
How about “bright”?
January 27, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Well, this part refers to when the two dragon shapeshifters first see their mate, who is a snowcat shapeshifter…
Darius and Connor flew carefully at first, following the collection of cougars and their brightly shining mate as they prowled through the trees.
“She’s not very good at blending in, is she? Why does she glow like that?” Darius asked his brother in the privacy of their minds.
“Magic, I presume. Chances are, with a name like snowcat, her people are bred for colder climes. I bet she’d blend right in on a field of snow and ice. Those big paws would do well on such terrain.”
January 27, 2013 at 7:42 pm
One only in Muscle for Hire.
She quickened her limping gait, her stomach churning with sickening horror at the bright red stain beginning to bloom over his right side.
January 27, 2013 at 8:06 pm
I found another form of bright.
Andrew told her everything she needed to know with his kiss. He gripped her cheeks between his hands, placed his lips on hers and the world brightened with crystal-clear focus.
January 27, 2013 at 7:40 pm
How about lick or licked?
January 27, 2013 at 7:44 pm
Here we go. From Muscle for Hire (lots of licks in Muscle
)
The word bodyguard sent a hot lick of something delicious through Rowan’s agitation. She threw the silent Aslin a quick look over her shoulder, her pulse pounding faster at the sight of his towering strength and undeniable presence.
January 27, 2013 at 7:41 pm
Okay, it would be wrong for me to say I’ve read two of these already, and have the third ready to read for the review site, right? And that I have subbed the review for one of these already?
January 27, 2013 at 8:07 pm
Not at all! LOL. Awesome.
January 27, 2013 at 9:00 pm
Wow! That’s great!
January 27, 2013 at 10:18 pm
I’m just waiting for the new Dragon book, since I’ve got all the others, and read them over and over and ….I think it comes out for my birthday!
January 27, 2013 at 7:42 pm
May I be a lil blunt and say cock
?
Cant wait for all the books yummy ….
January 27, 2013 at 7:45 pm
Unreal I missed this and I was sotrying to make sure I didnt double
..
How about. More ..
January 27, 2013 at 7:53 pm
More it is.
From Muscle for Hire.
Here she was, surrendering to a fully grown man’s mastery over her body with no more fight than a whimpered groan.
January 27, 2013 at 7:55 pm
How about pleasure? This is fun!
January 27, 2013 at 8:08 pm
She’d never realized pain, when paired with pleasure, could be such a heady aphrodisiac. She wanted more.
January 27, 2013 at 8:11 pm
I can do pleasure. Hee hee hee…
Aslin’s head swam at the thought. Would they finally surrender to the overwhelming sexual chemistry between them? His dick throbbed, stiff with anticipation. That the thrumming of his bike’s powerful engine radiated through his balls only sweetened the pleasure in his groin.
January 27, 2013 at 8:12 pm
Here’s one from Dragon Storm:
“Darius drew back to be sure he hadn’t hurt her, but he could see it was pleasure that had caused her reaction, not pain.”
January 27, 2013 at 8:09 pm
How about lust?
January 27, 2013 at 8:13 pm
Love lust
From Muscle for Hire
He studied Rowan, his heart pounding, his body on fire. Fuck, he’d never felt so charged. If he didn’t know any better, he’d say his veins flowed with concentrated adrenaline. And lust.
January 27, 2013 at 8:16 pm
It’s going to be a great reading week for me! You gals have outdone yourselves once again.
January 27, 2013 at 8:20 pm
She dragged her nails along his back. Two could play the pleasure-pain game. He hissed sharply, but his gaze told a different tale as it narrowed with hunger, his lust bared before her.
January 27, 2013 at 8:22 pm
Awesome tidbit , Mari! I am looking forward to this one.
January 27, 2013 at 8:37 pm
I got another one.How about “thigh”
January 27, 2013 at 8:57 pm
She cried out, throwing her head back, wrapping her right leg around his thigh. He dragged his lips down the column of her throat, biting, sucking as he went.
January 27, 2013 at 9:01 pm
How about this?:
“He wore leather pants, boots and a sexy vest that tied up the middle over impressive pecs. His muscles bulged as he moved, the black leather hugging sinewy thighs and tight abs as if he’d been poured into it.”
January 27, 2013 at 10:12 pm
My thigh was is silly/dirty. LOL
He shifted, sitting as he tugged on her hand, dragging her closer until she was straddling his thighs. His erect cock rested tightly against the seam of her pussy.
Helllloooo, Mr. Wiggly.
January 27, 2013 at 9:25 pm
How about “balls”. I’m loving this!
January 27, 2013 at 9:29 pm
Yeah, this is one of the dirty parts. I’m not going to put it all here – this line is bad enough to make me blush! LOL!:
“His balls pressed against her on every thrust…”
January 27, 2013 at 9:31 pm
LMAO, poor B!
January 27, 2013 at 9:41 pm
Woe is me.
*hee hee*
B.
January 27, 2013 at 10:18 pm
He hadn’t exaggerated. His balls began to tighten after only a minute or so. He was a goner.
January 27, 2013 at 10:32 pm
Oooh, here’s my balls
His cock ached. His balls were rock hard and swollen. Every thrust he made drove him closer to the edge.
January 27, 2013 at 10:03 pm
How about arousal?
January 27, 2013 at 10:15 pm
Sweat gathered at her brow as the heat from her arse and her pussy mingled, driving her arousal closer to the flames she hoped would consume her.
January 27, 2013 at 10:33 pm
Wow, I only have the word arousal once in all of Muscle for Hire.
So why did that fill her with cold trepidation? And squirmy arousal?
January 27, 2013 at 10:04 pm
How about lusted or was that said already?
January 27, 2013 at 10:34 pm
Well, I tried Donna, but there’s nothing good in this particular book with the word “lust” in it. Boo.
Sorry!
January 27, 2013 at 10:34 pm
I can do lusted
This very moment in the Buckshot Saloon, Rowan Hemsworth was as lusted after as her brother was every day.
January 27, 2013 at 11:03 pm
How about clit?
January 27, 2013 at 11:30 pm
Ready?
He kneaded the heavy curve of her flesh with rising pressure, his knee grinding to her clit equally hard.
January 27, 2013 at 11:09 pm
let’s try “spread”
January 27, 2013 at 11:31 pm
Oooh, I like this one. Forgot I’d even written this line…
Pressing her chest and belly to Aslin’s broad back, nudging his butt cheeks with her spread pussy, hugging his hips with her inner thighs…all insane.
January 29, 2013 at 9:38 pm
penetrate
