Arresting Abby

Arresting Abby
by Cheryl Dragon
Published By: Loose Id LLC
Published: Oct 21, 2008
ISBN # 9781596327894

Blurb:

Being bold for the first time by dressing as a slutty convict, good girl Abby never makes it to her Halloween party. She's pulled over by two sexy men dressed as cops: her best gay boyfriends, Zach and Kevin. They know about her lead foot and her fear of getting caught by authority so it's the perfect spooky scare. But the lovers take it one step further and arrest her, taking her to their home for a night of kinky fun.

The terms: she has to fulfill their every sexual whim or be taken to jail.

Abby has no interest in resisting except when it adds to the pleasure. She's secretly wanted a three-way with them since her friend Zach started dating the rugged alpha Kevin. Not that she imagined they'd really do it, but she'd never felt free like she does with them.

The problem: Once won't be enough for Abby or Zach.

In love with them both, Abby's going to have to seduce Kevin. The sexy bad cop has never had a woman before now and may not be willing to share Zach again.

Mutual Desire

ISBN: 9781419941207

Blurb:

Married for ten years, adventurous Kelly and Ryan are thrilled to take part in a fantasy come true—a week-long sex therapy study on a tropical island. The resort is first class, the sex off the charts.

Ryan’s always denied the issue that stands between them—the issue that threatens to destroy their marriage sooner or later. As they learn new sensual tricks from the other couples on the island, each x-rated assignment brings them closer to breaking down that barrier. When they do, will the pieces fit back together?

Travel writer Joe Jordan hasn’t been home to New York since his boyfriend broke up with him. Instead he’s hopped from hotel to hotel, collecting pens like a child in a fairytale might leave a trail of breadcrumbs hoping to find his way back. But now he has an assignment, an article titled “5 Ways to Rediscover New York.” Being back on his home turf is daunting—until he meets Claude Desjardins, a gay romance translator staying in his hotel who, after a night of near passion, leads Joe on a treasure hunt through Manhattan, writing clues on Joe’s skin using hotel pens. But it isn’t just New York Joe needs to rediscover.

Intimate Intervention

Intimate Intervention
Sara York


Book one in the Harder With Three Series

Lusting for more is worth the effort when the prize is two hot men to share your bed.
When James moves in upstairs, Matt and Tom make it a priority to meet the young hottie. One touch is all it takes to make the three of them burn with lust. James interrupts Matt and Tom’s lovemaking, but they don’t mind letting him in. James is new to man love and afraid of taking the plunge, but can’t stop himself from touching the totally nude Tom. His brother’s warnings are forgotten as James has his first taste of Matt and Tom, vowing to go back for more.

After spending the day appeasing his over-controlling brother, James finds himself spread out on Matt and Tom’s table as dessert. But James’s brother won’t leave well enough alone and tracks him down, abducting James from the dinner party. The police are called in, but with little to go on they are unable to find James.
James is frightened for his life as he watches his brother’s cohorts try to re-educate and reform another young gay man. Can he escape the mob, and make his way back to the loving arms of Matt and Tom, or will his brother beat his new life out of him?

Taxes and TARDIS


Taxes and TARDIS
By: N.R. Walker
Published By: Silver Publishing
Published: Apr 28, 2012
ISBN # 9781614955894

Description
Brent Kelly is a laid-back tradesman whose only concerns are drinks with friends and which man to bed next. In need of a new accountant to sort out his nightmarish shoebox of tax receipts, he's referred to Logan Willis. He doesn't expect to be intrigued by the science fiction-loving, geeky guy with dark-rimmed glasses and a TARDIS-blue shirt. So his fascination with the soft-spoken Englishman surprises him, and their mutual attraction is completely unexpected. He most certainly never expects to fall in love. One a jock and the other a geek, both men know the differences between them are vast and could cause problems. But in this opposites-attract erotic drama, maybe it's the differences between them that make staying together worth the fight.

Notes for a potential novella that would fit an open call.

Feminine Allure Friday

I wasn't sure what to put here but the M/M genre got Monday so it seems fitting that F/F gets Friday...Same rules as Monday and Tuesday it's about the cover.

Since this was a last minute addition, I'm going to use my own book here. I took a look at ARe's Lesbian top 20 and damn, I like this cover best (I'm not a cover artist! I just wrote the story).

Going forward I'm determined to find more great F/F covers but that genre hasn't always gotten the attention it deserved. I think that's going to change but check this one out and come back next Friday to see what I find:)

Way Back Wednesday

It's backlist day on the blog. Believe it or not, I've been published since 2007 (feels like a long time ago) and those books are still out there. Sometimes one of them trends up on a book list. So that's how I picked this one for this week.

One of my favorite early covers. They're police officers and she has her badge on her garter belt!
Courage story (ow/ym)/ Contemporary Erotic Romance/Romantic Suspense

9 1/2 Years

9 1/2 Years
By: Cheryl Dragon
Published By: Ellora's Cave Publishing, Inc.

ISBN # 9781419915444

Blurb:
Officer Eric Duncan knows just when to pounce. Whether it's a criminal or the sexy Lt. Lisa Zimmer. For three years she's brushed him off as too young. Her advice — date women in your own decade! But Eric has done his own detective work and for a few months they'll both be in their thirties.

It takes skill and self-control to get her off in a public place but she no longer doubts their chemistry. Working together on a case proves the problems she feared are real but he doesn't want to work with her. Eric must convince Lisa that they can have their careers and a passionate relationship. What's nine and a half years when the sex is this good?

Two or More Tuesday

Menage or more covers are tricky and fun! Some are dull and some are wild....let's see what grabbed my eye in this genre....Again it's the cover that is drawing my attention. I haven't read the book, but the info is below if you want to check it out.

This one is cool because it's not the usual clutch cover...the men are covered up by instruments. We defintely get a stage setting and a rock band message. Looks like a lot of potential fun!! Hmmmm....

Four Aces

Four Aces

ISBN # 9781607354215

Stacy’s luck seems to be changing for the better when she volunteers to sing with Trace, Jason and Pace for the Battle of the Bands. Winning this contest would get her closer to her professional music goal—certainly not her personal one, as guys this good-looking wouldn’t be interested in her.

But when they each show admiration for her talent and appreciation of her other assets, her dead mother’s voice of morality in her head holds her back from following her passion—until the men convince her she deserves to pursue all her dreams.

All Male Monday

Let's see if I can actually keep this going:)

All Male Monday....basically I'm cruising the usual places and checking out covers that grab my attention;) I'll give you the details at the bottom and the blurb...but I pick based on cover. Hottness or uniqueness...I haven't necessarily read the book.

Today it's a hot military man!! Love this cover!! Ink, dog tags, abs:D

Water Dogs
Blurb:
What happens in the desert stays in the desert…

Or does it? On tour in Iraq with other SEALs teams, Lieutenant John Tucker from the Skins holds a tenuous line of defense with Lieutenant Commander Alex Jackson of the Water Dogs. With four days wait until the Army shows up, and the pock-fire of insurgents ever-present, fight or flight urges are put to the extreme. So when Tucker shocks the LC by making a play for him, and he reluctantly gives in, it’s not like Ajax is going to have to face the fire when he returns home.

Except the mutual devastation of the SEALs teams prompts the military to combine them. Now Tucker is serving under Ajax in a brand new way, and the desert isn’t keeping the secret.

Friends Share Sunday

Trying to blog more day 2!

Sunday will be about sharing. I can use good karma:D So it'll be Friends Share Sunday where I share any new releases from my writing friends.

First I'll pick on Megan Slayer

Forever Wicked: Savage Protector by Megan  Slayer

Book Summary:

Who knew walking in the woods would lead to the adventure of his life? Not Hans. Being held captive by robbers isn't his idea of fun, but there's a silver lining in the form of a hunky wolf shifter. Hans is coming into his own and realizing the depths of his brawn, but things aren't what they seem. Can Hans sort out his feelings for the wolf and defeat the forces working to keep them from their happily ever after before time runs out?


And Zenobia Renquist had a Razor's Edge release as well...

Razor's Edge: After Party by Zenobia  Renquist
Book Summary:

The game is over, everyone has left and the house is clean. Tawnie is ready for a good night's sleep, but Hudson is ready for sex. There's no reason they can't both get what they want.



Happy New Releases!!

Writing Summary Saturday


I’ve been inspired by D. Renee Bagby….she tracks and reports her writing weekly on her blog. So the idea wasn't mine but if nothing else it'll keep me honest about my progress and maybe motivate me?

I know I should blog more and let’s see if I can keep this up weekly? 
Maybe I’ll add more days to a weekly schedule.

Sat Oct 6th

3k on Cyber Scars, Book 2 of the Red Line Underground series. A very different Dom/sub relationship is growing than in book 1 (Cyber Scavenge not out until Oct 25th). But the men are different for good reason. I hope it all clicks in the end!

Sun Oct 7th

1k on Cyber Scars and afternoon with local writer friends. Need the in person contact with other writers or I’d be a total hermit. A tiny circle of friends locally but I need it.

Monday Oct 8th

Finished Cyber Scars (didn’t write down the word count-oops) and polished it up. Sent to editor along with all the proper forms. Think the book worked...but that's why I need my editors!!! 


Tuesday Oct 9th

Notes for next 2 projects on the “to be written” list. It’s a LONG list….one book at a time. I need chapter notes so I know the story will follow. Otherwise I’d never be able to focus and just write. 


Some people can fly by the seat of the pants but if I’ve pitched a book and contracted it….I need to go back to that pitch and notes so I remember the spark I had. That book called to me for a reason. I plot it out by scene so I know where I’m going. If it’s goes wrong when I’m writing, the characters will freak out and stop talking. I can adjust the story but without a map, I’m too easily distracted and unproductive.

Wednesday Oct 10th

Line edits and read over galley of one book. Semi day off between books. Review writing plan and go over notes for starting new book tomorrow. (Not as productive as I'd like but it's hard for me to shift from editing to drafting some days.)

Thursday Oct 11th

2k on Hot Rivals (a m/m contemporary erotic romance). I don’t normally do m/m stories back to back…but the muse isn’t fighting it so I’ll give it a try. I’ve adjusted my plan beyond this to try to vary the genres so I’m not writing any genre back to back. 

I think that’ll keep things fresher but I try not to fight the muse. (Note, I said try. I was an accountant for over a decade so I have a tendency to plan and do things in order. If it doesn’t work, then I revise…no OCD here lol!)

Friday Oct 12th

5.2k on Hot Rivals (almost halfway…unless it goes long) Finally back to my daily word count goal! The change in seasons has messed with my normal early morning writing start. But M-F I do want to write 5k daily (unless it’s an editing day). I work the weekends too but that varies with family stuff and the need for a day off here and there.


So that's my first writing summary. Probably not very interesting to anyone but me...I'll do it again next Saturday and see if I'm more productive because I have to share!
