 Everlasting Hope Corbin’s Bend Season 3
Everleigh has waited for weeks for her fiancé's return. Rob had been overseas for six weeks and his absence was almost more than Ever could take. Even knowing that he was going to take her over his knee for ignoring his instructions didn't dampen her desire to have him home. After a few weeks of constant togetherness, Rob sees a change in the woman he loves. As their wedding draws closer, his sweet Ever was threatening to turn into one of those horrid Bridezillas. He decides she needs a different project, one that captured her artistic spirit. Ever is all for following this order but finds her original plans change when she learns of a project that will allow her to honor the men and women who serve their country. The residents pull together to help these injured soldiers. Tory's husband, John, needs more than his wife's love and as a fellow resident of this special community, Rob takes on a project of his own. Ever finds that art takes many forms and hope is everlasting as long as there are people in the world that reach out to help their fellow man. Excerpt: “Spanks your ass?” Violet suggested, in her typical blunt fashion. “And, as you so eloquently put it, seriously, Everleigh Harris – you do remember exactly what sort of man you are engaged to, right? Don’t tell me you expect Rob, the very stern, very dominant, very alpha male Officer Robert Montgomery, to forget that he promised you a good spanking?” As Ever just groaned, her head against the back of her seat, her eyes closed, Violet grinned and reached out to place her hand over her best friend’s. “Besides, as much as I love you, I agree this is one spanking you deserve.” Ever’s eyes popped open as did her mouth. “What? What sort of friend says something like that?” “A best friend who would like to keep you around for a very long time. Ever, you’ve got to admit it, you are taking a very cavalier attitude about your health. If you didn’t get the message that we all love you and are worried about you after your first collapse, well, perhaps you’ll get the message when your butt is vermilion.” Ever shook her head but had to giggle. “God, only another artist would say vermilion when she means red!” Violet’s smile and exaggerated eye roll told Ever that her friend understood but wasn’t about to back down. “Okay, I get it. I screwed up big time, but don’t you think he could wait for a bit? I mean, all I want to do is hold him and feel him holding me. I’ve missed him so much. I just feel awful that he has to come home and tend to his ‘bad girl’ instead of just coming home and relaxing.” Violet squeezed Ever’s fingers. “Honey, you and I both fell in love with men that can’t relax or just let something go when we’ve been less than truthful.” She gave Ever a stern glance until Ever finally nodded. “You told everyone you’d tell Rob and well, sweetie, you didn’t. Everleigh, you are not a bad girl but you have to admit that you did make a bad choice in being dishonest.” Ever groaned again. Nodding, she turned her eyes back to Violet. “I know, but, God, I just want to cuddle.” “Honey, you will cuddle, I promise. But, if we are honest with ourselves, we wouldn’t like it if they didn’t follow through on their word. We need the structure, need the rules and most especially, need the discipline when we step out of bounds. You’ve stepped out so far as to endanger your health. We all know where that leads."

I am an author with Blushing Books. I enjoy writing both contemporary erotica as well as historical books set in ages past. I love developing characters that are able to tell their own stories. My heroines are multi-faceted women who are strong, intelligent and capable in their own right but find a deep need to share their lives with those strong, sexy and dominant alpha males that capture their hearts. My heros recognize the gift of submission for the gift it is, loving and protecting the women that offer that gift. I enjoy sweet, romantic stories with just a taste of domestic discipline as well as one that explore the harsher D/S lifestyle. I also enjoy writing age-play stories set both in Victorian era where women didn't have a great deal of power in their lives as well as in today's present time where women still find their happiness is greatly enhanced in offering the gift of submission. My hope is that you settle back in your favorite chair and allow my books to entertain you and let you escape into another world.

 If you still haven't gotten your copy of The Marriage Market, Book 1, Amelia, now would be a good time. Book 2, Grace, has a release date of July 10, 2015. Grace Wentworth and Effie Lane were cautiously optimistic when their dear friend Amelia decided to travel west to become the bride of a man she'd never met. Despite their misgivings they were stunned when Amelia wrote informing them she'd made a dreadful mistake in marrying Mr. Jordon Determined to rescue her dear friend from the clutches of a scoundrel, Effie made plans to leave for Seattle immediately. Grace would follow when she could get away from the ever watchful eye of her mother. Everything changed when Grace was forced to accept the proposal of a cruel and violent man. Suddenly her mother's wrath could not compare with what she would face as Horace Remmington's wife. Throwing all caution aside, she fled with Effie even knowing her mother would most likely hire a Pinkerton man to find her. However, she never expected to fall for him as they played a game of cat and mouse from Chicago to Seattle. For Jonah Blackthorn, apprehending a runaway socialite seemed like an easy assignment. Locating two young, inexperienced women would take him no time at all and the five thousand dollar reward offered by the frantic fiancé would go a long way as Jonah had plans to leave the agency to begin a new chapter in his life. What he didn't plan on was being outwitted by the brats or the fact that Effie Lane wasn't relying on her wits alone to get them safely to Seattle. He also didn't expect to come to care for the redhead traveling with her gun-toting friend. When he finally caught up with them he was going to give Grace the spanking of a life time or kiss her senseless. Maybe both.  I'm thrilled to say, Amelia has been a Best Seller in Victorian Erotica for five weeks and is currently #2 in Amazon's Top Rated Victorian Erotica.

Follow Ravyn: Blog For less steamy reads, you can follow her here: Blog  While I typically write sweet spanking romances, I know many readers also enjoy more explicit BDSM novels. Today I'm sharing a book from fellow author, R.R. Greaves.
In the first book of this series, From Seduction to Submission, Natalie, a confident, intelligent and independent lawyer, had given herself to the enigmatic and dominant Mr. James, eventually begging him to take her as his slave. Since that momentous decision two months previously, she has never looked back and spent much of her non-working time being taken on a series of erotic adventures that would have been beyond her comprehension a few short months before. Despite her initial misgivings, her Master turns out to be benevolent, encouraging her to push her limits, let herself go and enjoy the freedom of being led by another. Giving him total trust, she submits to and partakes in adventures that seem so incongruous—but which deliver such erotic outcomes and mind-altering pleasures that she finds herself wanting more and more of what only he can offer. In a seemingly antithesis of her submission, she thrives in the workplace as her submission makes her even stronger and more assertive; resulting in her becoming a full partner in her firm. Eventually she finds herself in a situation she would not have expected in her wildest dreams, wondering where this latest twist will take her. This story includes detailed depictions of BDSM and control as our heroine explores this underworld of love, eroticism and kink. If such material offends you, please do not buy this book. Excerpt: Natalie looked sideways at her friend. "It was only a few weeks ago that I didn't even know that people did these sorts of things. In my compressed education, I have now seen Clair receive the cane, I have received it myself, and I have spent more time than I would like to admit thinking about it. I have seen the stripes left by the cane on Marc's butt. However, have I seen a man receive the cane? Short answer—no!" "But the idea appeals to you, doesn't it?" Jo-Anne asked, laughing. Natalie thought about it before answering. "Actually it does. Not because I am a sadist or that I want to dominate or punish someone. I guess it's because I can empathize with him knowing pretty much what is happening inside his head. It would be a buzz to help enhance that. Does that make sense?" "It makes perfect sense. I think it's also a valuable part of your ongoing education. You know that James is going to expose you to this, don't you?" "I am sure he will expose me to all sorts of things that I can't even begin to imagine. The mere thought of it boggles my mind." "How do you think you'll feel when you watch him do some of these things to others, especially other women? You may find it difficult." "I imagine I will, but I guess we'll just have to cross that bridge when we come to it." "You will, but I am just trying to raise some of these issues so that you can consider them early and not feel you have been slapped in the face the first time they happen. You are going to be confronted with some pretty difficult situations. Forewarned is forearmed." "Thank you, Jo. I really appreciate everything you've done for me so far. God knows where my mind would be now if I didn't have someone to discuss all of this with." Jo-Anne stood and smiled down at her friend. "Come. A butt awaits its appointment with the cane. Come and get some more education." She held her hand out and when Natalie took it, she helped her to her feet. Buy Links: Blushing Books, Amazon, Barnes and Noble About R.R. Greaves R. R. Greaves was born in Melbourne, Australia in 1958. Having lived in many parts of Australia and overseas, Greaves now resides in Sydney and she writes for fun. With a lifelong interest in her subject matter she finally decided to put some of her experiences and fantasies into words, toning them down somewhat for public consumption. Her first book was released in mid 2014. This was followed by a new release in Feb 2015 and there are a number of new stories in different stages of production. With a particular interest in specific forms of erotica, the stories have a lot of explicit detail that comes from years of "hands on" experience. All have a strong element of power exchange between consenting parties. While most involve a key female character submitting to a powerful male, they have a mixture of dominant characters with women submitting to other women, men submitting to women and men submitting to other men. A key part of the exchange of power between the characters involves the use of consensual physical and mental force, BDSM and spanking. Check out these other titles by R.R. Greaves From Seduction to Submission Reluctant Submission: Educating Meredith R.R, Greaves Erotic Stories Blog  After enduring the first two years of a life sentence for a crime she didn’t commit, there is one thing Becca fears more than spending the rest of her days behind bars. When their five-year terms of service on the frozen prison planet of Kemmius are up, guards are allowed to choose a bride from among the prisoners, and the warden himself has set his sights on her.
Hunter has hated the warden from the moment he met him, and he’ll be damned if he is going to let the vile man have a sweet, beautiful girl like Becca. Not when his own term as a guard is almost up and he’ll have the chance to claim her first and make her his own. Following a thorough, humiliating medical exam—standard procedure to ensure a potential bride’s suitability as a mate—Becca finds herself bound to Hunter forever as both his wife and his property. While her new husband quickly proves to be nothing like the cruel warden, he is still a man who expects to be obeyed, and she soon learns that defiance will be dealt with firmly. Though she is left blushing each time Hunter bares her bottom for a sound spanking—and sometimes for other, more intimate punishments—what truly shames Becca is the way her body responds to his dominance. But even as her feelings for Hunter grow stronger and her future seems brighter than it has in many years, Becca cannot help wondering if she will ever truly be free of the chains of the past. Publisher’s Note: Owning His Bride is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, medical play, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. Excerpt: “What is your name?” he asked. “B-Becca.” “That’s a pretty name.” She flushed. “Thank you, sir.” His visage reflected sadness, as if he regretted what he must do. Except that wasn’t possible. None of the guards seemed to harbor any pity for the women who were incarcerated on this Godforsaken planet. “Did you really not clean the tables properly?” Becca’s eyes went wide and she looked down, even though he continued to hold her chin up. Contradicting the warden wasn’t wise, even if his reason to whip her was entirely manufactured. “That is correct, sir. I failed to wipe all the tables in the cafeteria down. I’m very sorry.” His eyebrow shot up, and her mouth went dry at his sudden stern demeanor. Did he really want her to confess the truth? It was bad enough that the warden planned to make her his bride. The warden would check the camera feed later, and if she spoke out against him in any way he would make her pay, even if he had to wait thirty days to exact his revenge. “I suppose I must punish you then, Becca.” The guard’s expression softened. “However, I feel a whipping as the warden planned is too harsh a punishment.” Before she could ask what he meant, he clasped her wrist and guided her over his lap. She trembled. Her heart thudded and her face heated. The closeness of his body to hers sent her head into a spin. She soaked up the physical contact, reveling in the feel of his firm thighs shifting beneath her. Tears of relief and even joy threatened to spill from her eyes. Yes, he was preparing to punish her, but he was holding her, and nothing had ever felt so right in all her life. Since her arrest almost three years ago, she hadn’t felt such a tender touch. Officer Makin cupped her bottom with a warm hand, moving from cheek to cheek as he caressed the area he would soon spank. Her breath caught and a tingle raced down her spine and heat pulsed in her core. She was suddenly breathless, as if she’d just returned from recreation time after running laps around the gym. “I think, for an offense as minor as not wiping down the tables, a hand spanking should suffice, don’t you, Becca?” Thanks for stopping by Sue.

For those of you who don't know her, Maggie is one of the nicest people in the business and I adore her.
I also love this cover. Look at those eyes! Simply beautiful. Maggie, tell us about this book: In this, the third book of the best-selling Hunter’s Ridge series, twin sisters, Louisa and Lucy, are looking forward to reuniting after several months apart. Though they correspond regularly, letters are nothing compared to being together, sharing their lives, and whispering their secrets to one another. Anticipation has caused both to be naughtier than usual—but their husbands, who are also very strict Papas, have no hesitation in reminding them what happens when their Little brides test the rules. After a very educational evening visit to Miss Eleanor Summers' school, Louisa’s eyes are opened to what might be if she continues her bratty ways—and her attitude is quickly adjusted. Lord Edward Wintercrest has not only taken possession of an intriguing box from Eleanor to share with his best friend and Lucy’s Papa, Lord Lucas Huntington, he has also ensured that the long carriage ride to Hunter’s Ridge will offer his precious little lady comfort and distraction from boredom. Lucas’ family is excited about the upcoming visit as they prepare for the holidays and the final ball of the season. And Lord Stefan Northbridge is not one to sit idly aside when there is a chance to do a bit of matchmaking. Will Franny be able to trust another suitor after her narrow escape from the clutches of Lord Drakemore? Is Ettie ready to put away her childhood toys as she enters the grown-up world, or is she looking for a man far more like her brother than Lucas realizes? Only a few things are certain: no matter what the future holds for the others at Hunter’s Ridge, both Lucy and Louisa will continue to be cherished and coddled by their husbands—and their Papas will always be there to remind them of their vows to submit. With their unwavering love for these precious women, and unfaltering attention to their backsides whenever they step out of line, this reunion exceeds both sisters' expectations. Once again, Maggie Ryan, the queen of Victorian ageplay erotica, combines love, friendship, humor, and delicious scenes of discipline and lust to tell a story that is as heartwarming as it is sexy. Here's an excerpt: "Do you not wish to eat any cake?" Edward asked, transferring the fork to his own mouth. "I assure you it's quite delicious." He ate another large bite. "I can eat by myself, Papa," she whispered, the closeness of other diners making her afraid they'd hear her words. He didn't speak; simply lifted his eyes to hers as he took another bite. The cake was almost gone as he continued to enjoy it, and she squirmed on her chair. Louisa finally nodded, "Please, Papa, may I have a bite?" A forkful was presented to her mouth and she took the bite. It was delicious, and when no outcry of improper table manners was screeched by the other diners, she accepted another. Edward bent forward and wiped her mouth, where a bit of icing clung to one corner. Before sitting back, he spoke softly. "Who are you?" Confused at the question, she shook her head. "You know I'm Louisa." "Your full name, please." "Um, Lady Louisa Michelle Wintercrest." "And who am I to you?" he asked. "Lord Edward Wintercrest, my husband and my Papa." "Are you ashamed of either your roles or mine?" "No, Papa, I'm not ashamed. I just—no, Papa, I'm proud to belong to you." Nodding, he sat back and gestured with his hand. "These people are strangers, Louisa. They do not know you, nor do they care about you. I suggest you remember who does care, and who has promised to take care of you in all ways. It hurts me to think the woman I love is embarrassed when her Papa wishes to share a treat." "I'm sorry," she said, feeling properly chastised. She had a chance to prove her words when he produced a bottle from his pocket and asked their server to fill it with milk. Though the woman slid her eyes to where Louisa was sitting, she didn't question the request, only nodding to Edward. Louisa sat and waited while her Papa enjoyed a snifter of brandy. True to his word, no one was paying them any mind. Other than a few glances and a few nods, the others had their own lives to lead and their own conversations to hold. When the woman returned with the bottle, he thanked her and finished his drink. My Advice: Buy it!

Congratulations, Maggie. It's a keeper.  Best-selling author Maggie Ryan and newcomer Laurel Jane have put their heads and their pens together to come up with this, an exciting tale of romance, lust, love, spanking and adventure.
When Casey Reeves loses her husband to an unexpected heart attack, she gives herself a new mantra: To live life as if it were an amazing adventure, as every single day matters. Unfortunately, one of the things on her bucket list looks far better on paper, and when Casey finds herself up in a plane, strapped to a tall, handsome man, about to undertake her very first parachute jump, she realizes that she'd do just about anything to be able to back out. Paul Jackson has been a parachute instructor ever since he retired early, and has seen his fair share of terrified women, but when Casey hysterically promises to do anything he asks in return for being able to return to solid ground safely—even let him spank her—he's amused, and not a little intrigued. He's also more than willing to accept her bargain. Casey finds herself taking a leap of faith—in more ways than one. The two begin their journey together, spending some time on a luxurious yacht, in a tropical rainforest and even in a ranch in outback Australia, as they work their way through her list. What they discover is that life has a tendency not to follow carefully designed plans. With Paul beside her, Casey quickly learns that living every day to its fullest entails far more than she’d ever imagined. And by her side throughout the action, danger and laughter is a man who not only has no hesitation in reddening her bottom when she deserves it, but can send her soaring into ecstasy with a single look or a touch of his hand. Finding a new love to equal—or even exceed—her old one was not even on Casey's bucket list but now that she has, can they make it work? Is Paul really the man of her dreams? Note: If the subject of domestic discipline or explicit erotica offends you, please do not read this book. This promises to be an exciting read and I can't wait for it to hit Amazon! Maggie Ryan is already a star in this genre and I have a feeling Laurel Jane is going to give the rest of us some stiff, (no pun intended) competition. Congratulations, ladies and best of luck. Hugs, Stevie  New from #1 Amazon Bestselling Author of The Rancher's Woman and Her Keeper!
Today please welcome, Helen Karol with her new release, His By Design. Hi Helen. I'm so happy to have you here today. What's the scoop on this hot new romance? Hi Stevie, Thanks for having me over today! I’m so excited about my new release, HIS By Design available for sale today. This is a great read. It’s a friends to lover’s romance and I just love the banter this creates between the lovers. Julian and Claire have been friends for seven years and Julian has been secretly in love with Claire for three of those years. He was able to maintain a pretense because she was away carving out her career niche in New York. When she returns to Los Angeles, he blows his cover and reveals his feelings on her very first night home. Claire welcomes his feelings and they embark on a romance that includes domestic discipline. My extract below joins them near the beginning of the book. Claire is interviewing Julian for her magazine in his profession as a Hollywood haute couture dress designer. She’s afraid she’ll lose her objectivity and not remain professional so she overcompensates by adopting a chilly demeanor. Julian is having none of it and soon takes her in hand. Sounds wonderful. I'm thrilled you're sharing this with us. Let's have the extract. Just as she had for her previous lapse, she compensated by becoming more impersonal and efficient. She thought she was succeeding quite well. Julian had seemed to accept her setting of the mood, because he maintained a distance between them and kept his answers as short and as professional as her questions. However, later, as they were observing the model some distance in front of them who was displaying one of Julian's prototypes, he broke off his explanations of how this was the final test of his garment when Claire favored him with a particularly cool look. Moving around to stand behind her, he switched off her recorder and at the same time kissed her ear, employing his tongue in a particularly erotic manner that turned Claire quite red. She heard his low chuckle, the sound of it disturbing her composure even more. When he spoke, satisfaction was evident in his voice. "Now that's much better. Come on, Claire, we're hardly strangers, so why act like it?" Recovering her composure, she fixed him with what she hoped was a frosty glare, and said. "I'm aware of that, but I'm here in a professional capacity, kindly remember that." The irritation in his eyes was very slight, mixed as it was with amusement. "I know you are, but you're overdoing it and it's quite dangerous." She attempted to straighten further, but found it impossible. She was already ramrod stiff. She had to be content with increasing the frostiness of her gaze and tone. "Dangerous?" "Yes, dangerous. I'm tempted to take steps to shatter your image completely." He walked away from her, not giving her the chance to reply. An action for which Claire was quite grateful, considering she was speechless. Julian picked up where he’d left off in his explanations as if the incident had never taken place. Claire followed his cue, switching her recorder back on, but she ignored his warning, carrying her act so far that in the next few minutes she called him Mr. West. She felt like biting her tongue as soon as it was out, Julian's look telling her she’d gone too far. She swallowed as he immediately dismissed the model, escorting the young woman to the studio door. Allowing her to make her own way across the hall to the storage and dressing room on the other side, he closed and quite deliberately locked the door after her. To her dismay, Claire found it impossible to stand her ground as he advanced, purposely, towards her. He made no move to stop her as she backed away from him, but he moved steadily closer until they were only inches apart, Claire's retreat cut off by the drafting table pressed against her back. His hand reached up and she couldn't stop the exclamation that passed from her lips. "Julian, you can't!" Instead of touching her, he reached behind her and flicked off the fluorescent light. His voice held the impersonal tone she’d struggled to maintain throughout the past few hours. "Oh, so its Julian now? He mocked with a quirk to his lips. “Can't what?” He continued conversationally. Claire swallowed. Her gaze followed his hand as he lifted a flexible plastic ruler from the table. Bending it, he looked squarely at her. “Well, Claire? Can’t what? Just what do you think I have in mind? Hmm?” She winced when he began slapping the ruler rhythmically against his palm. It was pretty obvious what he had in mind. Trying unsuccessfully to avoid his fixed stare, she shrugged and lied shamelessly. “I don’t know.” He shook his head. “Fibbing too? As well as trying to freeze me out?” He leaned in slightly and spoke in her ear. “You’ve been a very naughty girl, Ms. Fitzpatrick.” He straightened and gave his palm one final smack with the ruler. “Turn around.” Claire stared at him open mouthed and challenged him with a shocked whisper. “Seriously! Julian, get real! You can’t. Not here.” She turned and looked furtively at the door to the reception office. “Delia will hear.” “Nice try. Delia might hear if I used my hand.” He waved the ruler a little. “Hence this. It’s quite quiet, I assure you. Stingy but quiet. Just as long as you’re stoic and don’t squeal, no one will be any the wiser. Now do as you’re told and turn around.” Claire glared at him and flounced before obeying him. “Fine!” The quirk in his lips and amusement in his tone told her this was not going to be anything like the horrid punishment spanking he’d given her for leaving her keys in the apartment door. They were firmly back in the fun and erotic zone now. More erotic than fun if his tone and the slickness of her thighs were likely indicators. “Pull down your panties and lift up your skirt, good and high.” So much for staying professional. Claire emitted a strangled protest. “Julian!” “Now, Claire.” His voice was stern, but its husky tone betrayed his desire. Muttering to herself that she was only doing this to put an end to his nonsense, she reached under her skirt and lowered her panties to her upper thighs. Looking over her shoulder, she glared at him mutinously before lifting her skirt to high above her waist as he’d instructed. “Wise choice sweetheart.” Then he snapped the ruler across the middle of her bottom three times in quick succession, each blow directly one on top of the other. “Yikes.” She yelped and clutched her cheeks at the unexpected sting, annoyed at having reacted more than she wanted. “Hands on the table. Bottom out.” Julian ordered to her deep humiliation. She wanted to tell him to shove it, but knew that would only get her in deeper. Better just to take her licks and get this over with. Said licks landed swiftly. Three across her lower bottom and another three where buttocks joined thigh. “All done.” Julian compounded her humiliation by running his hand over her glowing backside and squeezing her smarting cheeks before giving her permission to set her clothing to rights. Pulling up her panties and lowering her skirt with as much dignity as she could muster under the circumstances, she tried to ignore the insistent sexual pulse his calling her out on her cool behavior had aroused. “I hate you. You’re a brute!” She threw at him as she turned to face him. “That’s more like it,” he told her with a sexy smirk. “Good to see my sweet tempered woman back to normal.” His tone was sardonic as he moved to the side, extending his hand in a gesture that indicated she should precede him. "Shall we go to lunch, Ms. Fitzpatrick?" Claire nodded curtly before walking quickly across the room to collect her purse. She tried not to flounce, fully conscious of him only a few steps behind her. She reached the door the model had left through, yanking at it, cursing herself for forgetting it was locked when it wouldn't budge. She heard Julian stifle a laugh behind her before she clicked the lock open and exited without as much as a backward glance. The door passed only inches from his face before it slammed in front of him separating him from her. She was surprised when he didn't follow her out, hearing instead the click of the lock. When he didn't appear in the next few minutes, she began to wonder if she’d annoyed him in earnest. She hadn't even looked to see if he was close to the door or not. She supposed she could have hurt him. Her guilt disappeared when he came out of the reception office. Silently fuming, she stabbed at the elevator button as he joined her. Lounging with one shoulder against the wall, he eyed her quietly while they waited for the elevator. Claire stabbed at it again when it didn't arrive at once, refusing to meet his gaze. "You know your trouble, Claire, you can't take your own medicine." His voice was still amused holding no reproach. She looked at him quickly. “What do you mean?" "If you had come here today determined to flirt, you would have expected me to play along, but because I'm the one who initiated it, you're annoyed." Claire refused to accept his assessment of the situation. "That's not why. It's because I'm here to work, not play. Besides, why should you bother to flirt with me when you're pretty, little secretary is so good at it?" The comment slipped out before Claire could stop it and she was grateful the elevator arrived at that moment, so she could step in to avoid his deep, knowing amusement. He followed her in, leaning against one wall, pulling her towards him, telling her. "Honey, she's not even in your league when you put your mind to it," and then his lips came down on her own. His comment and his slow, drugging kiss dispelled her annoyance and she participated equally in the embrace. The hand that didn’t hold her purse moved up to his shoulder and then to his hair, her fingers encurling the waves she’d wanted to touch in the studio. She was so immersed in the kiss, she didn't hear the doors open and she didn't part from him until she heard an embarrassed cough. Blushing furiously, she walked between the two men who’d observed the kiss, Julian following. They were out on the street, the heat of the day hitting them, before she looked up to find him completely unperturbed. "You're not the least bit embarrassed, are you?" "Why should I be? It was only a kiss.” "You really don't mind being caught in a clinch like a couple of teenagers?" He stopped and looked down at her face from which the flush was only now beginning to recede. "Foolishness is acceptable in others as well as the young. It's forgiven in three categories. Youth, fools...and lovers." HIS By Design - Special Introductory Price of $2.99 for pre-order only!

Stevie  Stevie: Hi Kelly. Thanks for stopping by today. Can you tell us a little about your new release?
Kelly: Thanks for having me, Stevie. Rachel’s Journey is very close to my heart. Like Rachel, I too, have Tourette’s Syndrome. I have tried to portray what it is like to live with this neurological disorder, and while Tourette’s affects everyone differently so each person’s experience is unique, it is my personal experience, how Tourette’s affects me, that is told in Rachel’s Journey. In some ways, Rachel’s Journey is my biography, only fictionalized. Rachel’s circumstances are nothing like my own, but in all the ways that matter, Rachel is me. Stevie: Sounds like you were inspired to write this book, Kelly. Let share the details. Blurb: Rachel was such a loser. Growing up with Tourette's Syndrome has taught her that. Who could possibly want someone who contorted their face in bizarre twitches or snorted at random? Not even Mike, the man who had promised he loved her, had been able to put up with it. She broke up with him when she caught him cheating on her during their great overseas experience, promptly flying back home to hide and lick her wounds. James was the manager for the 850 acre farm she and her brother Simon had inherited. She liked James. He'd always treated her nicely, like an honorary little sister, and she'd had a crush on him forever. Not that she could ever tell him. She wasn't going to set herself up for rejection ever again. But when it seems that someone is out to harm her, can she count on James to come to her rescue? Set in rural New Zealand, this epic romance will thrill you and keep you captivated, enchant you with charming detail and inspire you, as learning to overcome adversity ultimately is Rachel's Journey. Excerpt: Then he rolled over and kissed her. She kissed him back, raw passion lending urgency to the way their lips melded together, and when she opened her mouth slightly he pressed his tongue gently inside, exploring her mouth. Her hand cupped the back of his head, her fingers entwined in his curls, pressing him ever closer to her, deepening the kiss. His hand trailed down her front, inside the buttons of her shirt, while the other hand clasped the base of her neck, where her shoulders met her spine. The kiss was hot, crushing, undeniable passion fulfilling the primal need within them. Electricity coursed through Rachel’s body and she was aware of only one thing: desire. She wanted him, no needed him. With their lips still melded together, James’ searching fingers unbuttoned her shirt and he pushed it down off her shoulders, exposing her breasts scantily clad in a white lace bra that really wasn’t suited for physical work. Breaking apart, James took her hand and led her stumbling inside, where he kicked the door shut behind them. “Take me to bed,” Rachel whispered huskily, hissing as his hand brushed over her still-throbbing bottom. With a grin, James lowered his mouth to hers again, backing her up the hallway towards his bedroom, guiding her with gentle hands on her shoulders as he flicked his tongue in and out of her mouth, tasting her, teasing her, devouring her. Stevie: Wow, sounds like this book has it all, adversity, passion, romance and of course, a little spanking. I'm sure it's going to be a success and I can't wait to read it! Where can we find you, Kelly? Kelly: I can be found all over the web.

Author Bio: Kelly Dawson loves anything to do with horses, rodeos and cowboys, and loves to get lost in a good book - preferably a rural romance where a strong woman falls in love with a ruggedly-handsome, tough but gentle cowboy, and these are the types of characters who feature in the stories she writes. Only in Kelly’s books, the cowboys are even better because they spank! She lives literally at the bottom of the world in the South Island of New Zealand, with her husband, four kids, a dog and a cat.

The Conquered Brides is a five-book collection featuring brand-new titles from five top erotic romance authors.When the castle they called home is besieged and ultimately falls, five women are captured and carried off as wives by their foes. Will they be treated as no more than the spoils of war, or can their new lords prove themselves worthy of the love and submission of their conquered brides? The Knight’s Seduction by Renee Rose Avowed to never again yield to a man’s ill-treatment, Lady Daisy stands ready to fight to the death when her castle is sacked. The imposing knight Sir Barrett has other ideas, however, and to her dismay, Daisy soon finds herself not only disarmed, but soundly spanked as well. Sir Barrett takes her as his captive bride, but when she shows real terror at the prospect of consummating their marriage, he offers her a bargain. She will offer her body to him and accept the pleasurable torments he inflicts, but he will not claim her fully until she aches for it so badly she begs him. Certain she will do no such thing, Daisy agrees, but can she resist the knight's seduction? Excerpt: Sir Barrett unwound the ribbon binding her wrists, then loosened the tie that held her bodice. She caught the edges of it before it fell open and backed away. He allowed her retreat, stripping off his tunic and then undershirt. “Sir Barrett...my lord husband?” He smiled indulgently at her. “Yes, love?” “I-I cannot lay with you.” His brows drew together. “You can and you must, else the marriage will not be complete.” Her mind searched about for something to say. “I mean, I cannot tonight,” she ad libbed. “Why not?” “Uh, well, you see...I have my monthly courses. So you’ll have to wait.” “I will punish you for that lie,” he said without any trace of anger. He stepped toward her. “I think you must want to be spanked again. Did you enjoy it, little one?” Again the strange slithering sensation in her belly. She backed up until she hit the wall. “No! Of course I didn’t. Why do you think it’s a lie?” she asked, desperately continuing the pretense, though it would be easy enough for him to disprove. “I have already had your bottom bare once today. Have you forgotten? I suppose I did not make enough of an impression.” He sauntered closer. “What is it, Daisy?” he asked, his voice gentle. “Are you afraid I’m too big? That I will hurt you?” She seized on his suggested reason. “Yes, sir,” she said, nodding vigorously. “You are far too large.” She blushed furiously when she realized he may have meant his manhood, not his entire stature. He smiled, reaching her and wrapping his warm palms around her waist. “I promise I will make it as pleasant as possible, my sweet wife. There may be a little pain, but only the first time. And I assure you it ends with a great deal of pleasure.” She shook her head, blinking back tears. “Please...I don’t want to. Please don’t make me.” He frowned, looking genuinely concerned. Cupping her chin, he lifted it. “You are truly terrified, aren’t you?” The tears began to spill. She dropped her eyes and nodded. “Of me or of the marriage act?” “Not of you,” she said, her voice wavering. “Look at me,” he murmured. With great effort, she lifted her gaze. “Did something happen to you to make you so afraid?” Buy Links: Amazon Barnes & Noble All Romance Renee Rose is a naughty author and kinkster who loves writing about hot alpha males, Dominance/submission and power exchanges.
