Christmas tunes
It's almost Christmas!
Well, I cannot believe we'll be celebrating Christmas, being with our loved ones and sharing some spectacular time together. I love Christmas, at least I do when not working it, so as a family we have to make other arrangements, regardless this year I'll have the family together on Boxing day, but just being with them and sharing quality time together, will be the best gift.

Now, I enjoy about Christmas and hearing Christmas tunes, and listening to carol singers, it always gets me into the spirit.
So here I am sharing with you my favourite tunes.
What are you favourite tunes? Or what gets you in the mood?

Speechless Week
Today, I have decided to put together this special blog, as this week has been one in my life I will remember forever. The shock and yet the most rewarding breath-taking time to occur in my life.
I have been blessed not only with the upcoming release of Dan's Desires book 5 in the Desires series on Monday 15th, but the amazing arrival of my two grandbabies Thea Louise and Jacob Luke. Mum had her water break on the 8.12.14, late evening. The midwives couldn't stop her contractions coming thick and fast and therefore resulted in her having an emergency C-section and them being born 6.5 weeks early, resulting with them in special baby care unit, being looked after by the wonderful staff. Mum and babies are doing fantastic, and here are some pictures of my beautiful grandbabies
 |
| Thea Louise weighing 3lb 15oz born 4.45am 9/12/14 |
 |
| Jacob Luke weighing 4lb 10oz born 4.46 am 9/12/14 |
Words fail me to how I feel and I wish to thank everyone for their support and comments during the week.
Dan, a devious, hot, sincere young man, preys on
women like a vulture. He takes up escorting before entering a world of sexual
fantasy in a club called Desires, being paid to have sex. He loves being a
naughty boy without conviction, even having sex with the boss, using any means
to have his wicked way.
Then he meets a new client,
Stacie Clifford. He needs to drop the boy act and become a man, yet remember
the club’s emotional contract. He makes it his responsibility to protect Stacie
from Angel the boss of the club. He’s in love.
He has almost everything: a
wife, son and a baby on the way, ownership of Desires, yet something is missing
from his life, Sapphire his daughter. Unable to move on, feeling destroyed, his
marriage is uneasy. Day after day he fights his heartache, wanting to be happy
and be Dan, the man he once was. Will Dan ever be complete again? What will it
take to get him there?
And also to add Secret Cravings Publishing. including the Desires series...what you waiting for??

Please welcome to my blog the amazing V.L. Locey with her latest release Tumble Dry
Blurb:
Roxanne Jones has one day off this weekend. She

the washing machine in her apartment building dies mid-cycle, Roxanne has no
choice but to finish her laundry across the street. Once inside the Tumble Dry
launderette, she discovers that the dryers aren`t the only hot things to watch.
In walks a younger man wearing the only clean items left in his wardrobe: torn
jeans, sandals, tattoos, sex appeal, and a few well-placed piercings. When the
two lock gazes no amount of fabric softener can stop the sparks from flying. It
doesn`t take long for Donovan King, an English major at the local college, to
not only woo Roxanne, he manages to begin to a steamy seduction that won`t end
until both are well-tumbled.

Excerpts:
PG
“So do you?”
“Do I what?”
“Have a couple of spare quarters? Since
you won’t let my man things gyrate around in the water with your woman things.”
Was he saying those kinds of things on
purpose? Of course he was, if the puckish grin he now wore was any indicator.
Oh, I did like this man. A lot.
“Honey, I’m not sure that your man
things are man enough to gyrate with my woman things,” I parried. He chortled
then leaned a hip into the washer, his arms folding over his bare chest.
“I’m pretty sure that they are.” He said
it with utmost confidence in the prowess of his man things. I sucked down a
large gulp, the twinge behind my eye reminding me to slow down. I sipped and
enjoyed looking at him, spying a small, silver navel ring glistening from the
neon lights overhead. My mouth was dry even though I had just swallowed some of
my drink. His steady gaze made me fidget.
“Rather sure of your man things, aren’t
you?” I finally said, as I tossed my change purse to him. He caught it with one
hand, his eyes never leaving my face.
“Rather,” he commented offhandedly,
opened the tiny bag then extracted four quarters. My tongue toyed with the end
of my straw. He laid the purse on the top of the machine next to his then
arranged the coins in the slots, all four standing erect. Mmm, what a nice word
that is. Erect. Makes all sorts of dirty, sweaty images appear inside a woman’s
mind, doesn’t it?
R
“Excuse me, sir, but this cart is mine.”
“Really? And how is that, Roxanne?
Clearly I was here first.” He leaned over the cart, his scruffy cheek brushing
mine he whispered beside my ear. “You were engrossed with erotic thoughts about
my mouth and the pleasure it could bring you.”
He drew back. My brain shut down as my
mouth dropped open. That was all the time Donavon needed to commandeer the
cart.
“No I wasn’t.” There. Take that. I bet
that verbal spear pierced a few vitals. Not.
Damn the man for reading me like that
beaten-up poetry book of his. He shrugged a shoulder, the inked one. An
emerald-eyed tiger rolled it’s head at the up and down motion.
“Yeah, you totally were. Would you like
me to tell you the signs of arousal that you’re wearing at the moment?” He
threw several pairs of wet jeans into the cart. They landed with a slap.
“The only thing that I’m wearing at the
moment is a dash of lovely,” I
countered quickly.
“Yes, you are incredibly lovely, and
horny. Your nostrils are flared, your eyes are wanton, your nipples are hard,
and you keep licking your lips.” He paused in tossing balled-up shirts into the
cart. “You also keep crossing and uncrossing your legs.”
Shit. Okay. So the man knew I was
sporting a big girl-boner for him.
“Maybe I just have hives.” I tugged the
cart away from him then stalked over to my washer with the buggy in tow. I
heard his throaty chuckle behind me.
“Maybe you want me to take you somewhere
private and read you something…Sapphic.”
He was right behind me, his breath
fluttering past my left ear, his body close enough to exchange sparks with
mine. Damn. Damn. Damn. My spine stiffened, as did my nipples. They were now so
hard they hurt.
“You think reading me lesbian poetry
will turn me on?” I inquired, trying to sound as if his smoldering nearness was
having no effect. The smoky cast to my voice kind of ruined the indifferent
attitude I was going for.
“I think you’re already turned on.” I
heard the cart being nudged aside. I stood as still as a deer in a strange
meadow, alert to every sound. My fingers gripped the lid to the machine as he
stepped closer. The touch of his chest to my back was seismic. Desire didn’t
just uncoil like a snake finding a warm rock, it rose up like a jungle cat, and
then stretched, sharp claws of need raking open my calm exterior.

Please welcome the fabulous Dilys J. Carnie to my blog visiting with her second novella in the short Christmas series
Blurb
Holly Berry is grateful to be alive... so she has a new bucket list. No
more nice girl for the new Holly... this year her wish for Santa is on the
naughty list.
Noah Miller plays Santa Claus at Snowdrop House, where he is surprised to find a very grownup...and willing...Holly Berry on his knee. He’d never guessed that a Santa costume and twenty-four hours would make such a difference to his Christmas.
Will this little sexy little bundle of fun who rocks his world change his future too?

Will this little sexy little bundle of fun who rocks his world change his future too?
Excerpt
“Well done,
Santa, you did what I’ve been trying to do for weeks.”
“It was the suit; you did all the hard work.” He
smiled back. Holly Berry, he shook his head at the times she’d been teased
about her name. An incredible bundle of sexuality who was totally unaware of
how attractive she was. It was only accentuated by her kind and gentle nature.
It had always made her even sexier. Her deep green eyes were framed by the
darkest lashes he’d ever seen.
Her blonde hair was cut short, the long curls were gone,
leaving the silken strands curling at the ends. He liked it and wondered what
had made her chop it all off. Last Christmas when he’d seen her it had been
long.
He’d fancied her for years, and yet they’d never got
together. Holly avoided him except when he would watch her looking at him, and
then she’d realise, and her face would go a deep red.
He leaned down capturing her wrist in his hand, and
tugging her up gently he drew her onto his lap, just like one of the children.
A flush reddened her cheeks as she looked around, but he’d made sure everyone
was busy with the boys and girls who were playing with their new toys before
he’d tugged her onto his lap. Holly turned back to him.
“I think you’ll find I’m not a child and a little too
heavy for your knee.”
“Not heavy at all.” He pursed his lips as he looked
her up and down. “Definitely. Not. A. Child.” He pronounced the words singly.
She giggled but he knew it was a nervous gesture. His
mouth quirked beneath the scratchy moustache. Noah placed his hand on her
thigh, the slacks she wore were thin and the heat from her skin warmed his
hand.
Sexy.
“So Miss Holly Berry would you be on the naughty or
nice list this Christmas?”

Lord of Fire –
Wytchfae 5 by Flossie Benton Rogers
Paranormal
Fantasy Romance
10-29-2014
Hi,
Holly! Flossie Benton Rogers here. Thank you for hosting me today! Your website
is lovely, and I look forward to your new book, Dan’s Desire’s, coming out in
late November. My book Lord of Flame – Wytchfae 5 just released in time for
Halloween. Thank you for giving me the opportunity to tell you a little about
it. First, I thought we’d start with a couple of comments about the Wytchfae
world that permeates each book in the series and look at the definition of a
Wytchfae.
The
World of Wytchfae: Closer to us than a hair’s
breadth are the realms encountered in the Wytchfae series of paranormal romance
/ urban fantasy novels. These mysterious places are populated with faeries,
witches, demons, angels, goddesses, dark guardians, ghosts and other magical
beings. The beings dwell in multiple dimensions parallel to our own earth
dimension. Some of the worlds are welcoming, others dangerous and forbidding.
Through the darkest night and the fright of unchained chaos, love will always
shine.
Wytchfae: A Wytchfae is a trained witch who has at least a drop of fae or
faery blood thrumming through her veins. This bloodline back to ancient Celtic
times heightens her powers over what mere training can do. A Wytchfae resides
on the human earth plane but sometimes has occasion to travel back and forth in
time and also to visit the Underworld and other parallel dimensions. A man can
be a witch and have fae blood but is not called a Wytchfae. He is usually
called a male witch, warlock or sorcerer. Different Wytchfae have different
skills and various levels of power. Garnet McAnna, the Wytchfae heroine in Lord
of Fire, has great tracking ability but also likes to play with knives and
guns.
Lord
of Fire – Wytchfae 5
Blurb: When The Hawk meets his Wytchfae, the result is spontaneous
combustion.
Garnet McAnna chases the demon responsible for
attacking and enslaving innocent fae familiars. She never expected to run
headlong into a mesmerizing stranger known as The Hawk. Nor did she anticipate
the way his masculine power kindles a womanly flame within her.
Exiled from an elite warrior's brigade,
Lord of Fire Gabriel Hawk guards his heart and his solitude. He wants nothing
to do with the world of men or the realm of fae. Then a beautiful Wytchfae
bursts into his life, stirring desire and sparking need. Garnet is on a
dangerous mission, and he can't let her face the evil alone. What else can he
do but fight beside her? When she disappears, he raises hell to find her. Will
he be too late? Will darkness conquer this couple or will love burn their souls
into one?
First
Line Teaser: She’d catch the demon tonight if it
killed her.
Memorable
Quote: “Garnet McAnna, you’re the hottest woman in
thirteen worlds.”
Excerpt:
Garnet dimpled as morning’s first
whispered glow cast an incandescent gleam on their half-naked flesh. Lying on
their sides, bodies touching, an electrical current seemed to bolt back and
forth between them. Reaching out, she raked a hand through The Hawk’s
blue-black hair. She loved the sight of it spread out on the pillow and its
silken texture in her fingers. The hard planes of his chest enticed her to seek
him there as well.
One corner of his mouth tilted into a
smile. “Brazen woman.”
