The Amber Voyeur Gem Apocalypse Book Two By Ravyn Rayne Blushing Books Dystopian Erotica Add to Goodreads Available for FREE on Kindle Unlimited at Amazon Excerpt: The hum of the engine died, and Aria heard the scream of unfamiliar words in a language she didn't recognize. Shots were fired in every direction forcing her to duck, throwing herself onto the floor of the ship. James lay right beside her, covering Aria with his body, shielding her from danger. She didn't have the courage to ask what happened. The warmth and security Aria felt from James vanished. A man covered in tattoos, his arms a canvas of ink, grabbed James by the arm and dragged him across the room. The second man accompanying him lifted Aria from the floor and escorted her up the stairwell. James walked just a few feet in front. The man dropped his hold on her as the passageway narrowed. A gun pressed into her back, a constant reminder of danger. Aria couldn't fight without risking her life. She hoped these men would steal what goods they came for and then leave. Forced outside, the lifeboats were just a few feet away. The sun began to set, and the sky twinkled like a sapphire without a cloud in the heavens. Even at dusk, beads of sweat trickled against Aria's forehead. Her black shirt stuck to her back, the cargo pants she wore were too hot for this climate. She didn't dare ask where they were; she didn't believe anyone would answer. They were forced against the wall. Would the lifeboats even float anymore? The old luxury cruise liner's paint faded from years of sun exposure. What would it have been like fifty years ago, before the devastation and destruction that their parents created, taking a luxury cruise? She would never know. The Gem Apocalypse had resulted in a war with only survivors, no heroes. "Move!" the man behind Aria said. His gun dug further into her back, and she pushed forward on James's heels. "Down!" They got down onto the ground with the other crew and passengers. Six men towered over them with guns. Aria was unfamiliar with the weapons, as they were larger than the ones the guards carried at the palace. "We'll be okay," James said as he sat beside Aria, reaching for her hand. Aria wanted to ask him how he could know that without a doubt. Hope shrank like a beacon of light fading in the distance. These men were thieves. She could smell the treachery and greed from where she sat. How did they end up here?

It seems like so many of my friends are dealing with difficult times in their lives. Illness, loss, financial stress, uncertainty, fear, I could go on and on. We are all on different journeys, yet we are all the same, doing the best we can to move beyond our troubles. I just want you to know I am with you. Even though I'm not around on social media much, I feel your pain, your grief, your sorrow and pray for you. I'm in your boat, rowing as fast as I can. Hang tough with me. With God's help, the best is yet to be.
Hugs, Stevie Rachel was such a loser. Growing up with Tourette's Syndrome has taught her that. Who could possibly want someone who contorted their faces 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. Blurb: James caught up with her in a few strides and picked her up around the waist, throwing her over his shoulder like a sack of spuds where he landed a solid swat to the seat of her jeans. “Owie!” she yelled, pummelling his back with both her fists. “Put me down!” “Be quiet,” James hissed, “unless you want everyone to see you getting spanked like this. Is that what you want?” He slapped her backside again, even harder than before, putting his whole body into the swing, as he continued walking to the ute. “Ow! You put me down!” Rachel snarled, but her voice was lower than before – she was mindful of the position she was in and she didn’t want to attract attention. Being surrounded by people wasn’t deterring James any, that much was obvious. He smacked her butt twice more before they got to the where the ute was parked, and when they were out of sight behind a neighbouring horse float he started spanking her in earnest, holding her firmly in position over his shoulder and landing half a dozen blazing hard blows to the seat of her jeans. She pummelled his back with her fists again, but all that she succeeded in doing was making it worse for herself – James increased the strength behind the swats, landing another six viciously-hard blows. Then, with a super-hard wallop that made her shriek in pain, he set her on her feet, holding her firmly by the shoulders so she couldn’t get away. “What’s gotten into you?” he growled at her. “There was no call to act that way!” “So you don’t really love me then?” it was a rhetorical question; more of a statement really – at any rate, she didn’t expect an answer. “You like being spanked, don’t you?” James asked her incredulously. “No I most certainly do not!” James chuckled. “Yes I think you do. You’re wanting to prove whether or not I care about you, and you know that a spanking means I care. Admit it – you know I’m right.” “So what if you are? What’s wrong with wanting to know that you care?” James held her face in both his hands, brushed the tears from her cheeks with his thumbs, and kissed her full on the lips. “I care.” 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.

No one from Brayleigh saw it coming. Neither James nor Aria expected four men in a deserted city to attack. Thrown into the back of a van, James is captured by claimers – men that hunt Sapphire’s and bring them into quarantine, where they must settle their debt for treatment. Those that can’t pay off their debt are held in the broker’s quarters until they’re bought by angels, often resulting in slavery, hunting humans, and a host of other horrendous atrocities. Aria is different. She’s naturally immune, or so she’s told. On a mission to rescue James, she finds herself in danger and quickly learns the power of friendship, commitment, and undying love. With a taste of age play, spanking, and a master/slave relationship with voyeurism, this dystopian erotic adventure is sure to leave you satisfied. Amazon | Blushing Books Excerpt: The alarm that had been deafening silenced, and the lights flickered back on. "Leave, Aria." His voice stern and filled with warning. He didn't sound like himself. She wouldn't listen to him. She couldn't. Did he not realize how much he meant to her? "I have a gun," Aria whispered, staring at James. It was her last shred of hope. ames stopped pacing and walked straight up to the glass, staring at her with dark blue eyes. "Shoot me." Aria's eyes widened. "No! I won't do it." Five Questions with James(a character interview for The Gem Apocalypse series) Of all the places you’ve lived, what is your favorite? That’s a tough question to answer. I loved Brayleigh, before the uprising. I know it wasn’t a perfect society, but I was happy. It will always be my home as I have fond memories of my childhood growing up at the royal palace. If you could only eat one food for the rest of your life, what would it be? Give me bacon! It’s hard to come by but I absolutely love it. You’ve had you’re share of women at the royal harem. Any aside from Aria that you’ve loved? I’ve loved all the women I’ve invited into my home. Who’s to say you can’t love everyone? Do you prefer dominating or being dominated? I love to spank Aria. So yes, I prefer to dominate my partner. Would you ever let Aria spank you? I wouldn’t bend over and let her spank me, but she can certainly try. I like to remain in charge.

Blog | Facebook | Twitter | Amazon | Tsu | Goodreads Euphemia Lane had a feeling from the get go that Samuel Jordon was going to give her trouble. In his rude letter, he threatened to spank and disarm her should she show up in Seattle with her pistols. However, his warning doesn’t deter Effie from her mission. Come hell or high water, she and Grace are determined to travel to Seattle to rescue their friend, Amelia. How was she to know that Amelia’s letter was a huge mistake or that Horace Remington would follow them and nearly kill her? And there was no way she could have anticipated what would happen once she and Grace arrive at the Jordon home. Never would she have imagined that she would receive her very first spanking at the hands of her nemesis. It was galling to say the least, and to top it all off, he relieved her of her pistols after she destroyed a treasured family heirloom and shot Horace. Now she is in Sam’s protective custody until the Marshal determines she had acted in self-defense. The problem seems to be: who is going to protect her from Sam? Samuel Jordon is so angry when Marshal Cole Hadley sticks him with Miss Lane that he sees stars. In his opinion, she is a sassy-mouthed witch hiding in a sweet little body. His determination to be firm yet detached lasts all of two days. Who knew one little drop of frosting on one luscious lip would change his life forever? What kind of young woman can turn a well-balanced, confirmed bachelor into a perverted fiend who can't keep his hands off her? Excerpt: "I am not going to be sent to bed like a child," she screeched as she tried to slip by him. Sighing, Sam swept her into his arms and marched across the room. Depositing her on the bed, he leaned over her, an arm on each side of her shoulders. "Allow me to rephrase my request," he ground out. "Either Ophelia may come and assist you out of your dress so you may sleep or I shall do it myself. If I do it, you may be sure you will cry yourself to sleep on your tummy. Do you understand my meaning?" Sam watched the color drain from her face and quickly return with a vibrant and angry blush. Her breasts rose and fell with each rapid breath, but he held his ground, staring into her brown eyes until she replied. "You have me at a disadvantage, temporarily, Mr. Jordon. Trust me; it will not always be so. You would not be nearly so self-assured if I had my weapons at my disposal," she hissed in defiance. "No, trust me, Miss Lane. You will not have access to those weapons as long as you are in this house and under my authority. Should you manage to get your hands on a gun, you’d better shoot me dead because you will rue the day you ever laid eyes on a deadly weapon." "It will be my pleasure," she said with a brilliant smile as she watched his face darken. "Send Ophelia to me and get out of my room. I've decided I would like to take a short rest." "A wise decision, Effie," he drawled as he stood. "I hope you shall make a similarly wise one when the time comes, Mr. Jordon. I find I quite like your mother and would be saddened to shoot her son, for her sake you understand." "So you like my mother. Somehow that doesn't surprise me," Sam said pinching the bridge of his nose for a moment. "Have you a headache, Mr. Jordon?" Effie asked, delightedly. "Only one, Miss Lane, only one," he replied as he left the room.

Only one man—a rough, dusty cowboy named Johnny—stands between her and the perils of the west, and he quickly makes it clear that he is ready to do whatever needs to be done to keep Jessica safe, whether she likes it or not. When the unlikely pair stumble upon a cattle drive and they are both offered employment, Johnny doesn’t hesitate to accept. But after Jessica loudly expresses her disdain for his plan and for cowboys in general, Johnny decides it is time for drastic action. After a hard, embarrassing spanking followed by a tearful apology to the trail boss, Jessica is left with a sore backside and a strange yet undeniably powerful need to be held close and comforted by her handsome protector. With Johnny by her side—and claiming an ever bigger place in her heart with each passing day—Jessica begins to adjust to life on the trail. But a cattle drive is a dangerous place for anyone, let alone a city girl with a penchant for disobedience. If he ever wants the chance to make Jessica his wife, Johnny knows he’s going to have to take her firmly in hand before she gets herself hurt or killed. Even if it means a painful, humiliating bare-bottom strapping she’ll never forget, one way or another he’ll teach her the ways of the west. Publisher’s Note: The Ways of the West is an erotic romance novel that contains sexual scenes and spankings, including domestic discipline in a historical setting. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book. Excerpt: Jessica was enjoying watching the shocked, but delighted, expression on Johnny’s face as she stepped out of the borrowed dress to reveal short, sexy drawers that had been the height of fashion back home in Boston, but which were still considered scandalous among decent company. She left the gown and petticoats in a puddle on the floor at her feet and shimmied out of her undergarments, standing completely naked before him in the dim glow cast by the lantern on the table by the bed. She’d never been naked in front of a man before but the excitement of the wedding was making her brave. Johnny whistled softly through his teeth, stepping forward to place his hands gently on her waist, drawing her into him. “You are beautiful,” he whispered into her hair. Jessica’s hands went to the front of Johnny’s pants where she urgently fumbled with the buttons with clumsy fingers. She wanted him naked, too. Groaning in frustration at the tight buttons that wouldn’t come undone, she moved her fingers to his chest, undoing his shirt instead. These buttons opened easily and she trailed her fingers inside his shirt, along the hard muscles of his chest. Pushing the shirt back off his shoulders she brushed her lips against the light smattering of hair she found there, pulling his shirt off completely and discarding it carelessly on top of her own pile of clothing. “Here, let me,” Johnny murmured, brushing her hands away from his jeans, undoing them for her. She gasped when his erection sprang free, then reached out to touch it gingerly. “It’s so big,” she breathed. “Are you sure it will fit?” Buy Links: Amazon Barnes & Noble All Romance Ebooks Kobo THE WAYS OF THE WEST – By Kelly Dawson 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.

Kelly's Social Media Links: My blog Google+ Goodreads Hi everyone. Today I'm doing a special post for fellow author, Alexis Alvarez. She's got one hot new release and just the cover is making me fan myself. Dream Girl, Love on Reality TV, is definitely not one to miss. Thanks for having me! I’m Alexis Alvarez, and I’d like to share a snippet from my newly released romance novel, Dream Girl. It’s a funny, sexy take-off on the popular American reality television show The Bachelor. In my version, the hero is the epitome of tall, dark, sexy and intelligent. And the woman is the sassy girl inside of us all, the woman who has the courage and humor to be herself. I hope you enjoy it! Blurb for Dream Girl: He’s sexy and intelligent, handsome and witty… and Chloe’s body lights up with sparks at his touch. And when he looks into her eyes and whispers naughty sexy things into her ear, she wants to melt into him and enjoy the mind-blowing passion he promises. Too bad he’s the star of the popular reality show Dream Girls, and he’s also dating nineteen other girls in addition to Chloe — girls who are sexy and so talented that their Nobel Prizes should arrive any day now. Chloe’s sure he’s just amusing himself with her, and there is no way he’d pick her as his final Dream Girl — especially since she gets into so many crazy scrapes on the show. She promised herself she was only doing this for adventure, travel, and new experiences…not to make a fool of herself on national TV. But he’s so sexy and persuasive! Would it be so bad to say yes to all of his dark, dirty requests? And most important of all — what will happen if she risks her heart? Excerpt from Dream Girl: Chloe pushed up to meet his body, wanting to feel him skin on skin, and when his hand moved under her top to cup her breast and stroke her nipple, she made breathy sounds of pleasure. “That feels so good,” she murmured, running her hand over his thigh to rest atop the hard bulge at his crotch. She stroked softly, feeling his outline. “This does, too,” she added, and smiled and giggled when he growled and bit her lip. He propped himself up on his elbows and smiled, one hard thigh between her legs, as he looked down at her. “I told you that you’d kiss me in Rome,” he said, his eyes twinkling. “Looks like I’m pretty good at reading the future.” Chloe pushed at his chest. “You’re bossy.” He laughed. “Yeah. I am. If you like it, I’ll do it some more.” Chloe made a fake frown at him. “I’ll give you five minutes. See how good you are.” Before the words were out of her mouth, he was kissing her again, firmly, and his hands positioned hers above her head. “Keep them here,” he warned her, although his eyes were twinkling and his mouth curved up into a small smile. “Mmm” agreed Chloe, wiggling her shoulders and hips. “Make it worth my while to obey.” Without speaking, he stroked down her bare stomach, then reached up to her breasts, letting his fingernails graze softly over her nipples, until they were hard and sensitive. “Oh,” gasped Chloe, arching up at him, involuntarily moving her hands before settling them back down. “You like that?” he murmured, and ran his fingertips over the other nipple, teasing and touching, until Chloe made little moaning noises in her throat. “Yes, God, it’s—oh,” she called out, as he pinched the nipple between his fingers and rolled it. The spike of pain wasn’t intense, but it shot a signal directly to her clit, making her writhe under his touch. “Dominic, I, mmm,” was all she could manage, when he repeated it on the other side, and then smoothed his palm all the way down her belly to let his fingers stray under her yoga pants. “Spread your legs a little more,” he urged her, and Chloe obeyed, and cried out softly as his fingers rubbed down her body and dipped inside. He reached two fingers up and stroked inside below her pubic bone, then let his thumb brush over her clit. Chloe whimpered and bucked her hips, and he bit her neck, continuing to tease her. “You’re so wet,” he said, his voice rough with pleasure. “Fuck. Spread wider, Chloe. Feet flat on the bed, knees up. Yeah, like that.” Chloe shivered at the hard language and his increasingly masterful tone. She moved her hands to grab at him, but he shook his head. “No. Hands stay there. I’ll tell you when to move them.” Dream Girl is a light-hearted, fun romance with steamy sex, laugh-out-loud humor, and an HEA. It releases September 1st on Amazon and will be in the Kindle Unlimited program. Thanks for having me, and I hope you enjoyed the excerpt!
