Excerpt from A Date to Remember, from The Great Outdoors Vol 2.
Just when things couldn’t get any worse – they did. Zoe felt wet splashes on her face. Looking up, she grimaced at the sky, which was dark with ominous-looking clouds. Typically, they were nowhere near decent shelter, having wandered into a park.
Nick, dull as dishwater but still a gentleman, ushered Zoe into the slight shelter of some trees. Removing his coat, he hoisted it over their heads and tucked Zoe under his arm, keeping her warm as well as dry.
And not a moment too soon. The spatters of rain quickly turned into torrents so violent that they bounced off the ground. Instinctively, Zoe snuggled closer to Nick. The temperature had dropped and their breath was visible in the air. The pair stood silently, awestruck by the force of Mother Nature.
Zoe felt Nick shift, and she looked up at him. He was looking at her, a lopsided grin on his face.
“What?” said Zoe.
“It’s amazing, isn’t it? Makes you feel kind of insignificant.”
They both looked back at the rain, which was still teeming down, heedless of their plight. After a few silent seconds, they shared another glance. Their breath mingled together under Nick’s coat and Zoe was suddenly very aware of how close together their faces were. Especially when Nick bent down to kiss her.
Zoe surprised herself by not freaking out when their lips touched. Even more so when he slipped one hand round the back of her neck, pulling her closer, while the other still held the coat over their heads. She reasoned with herself; he was a good-looking guy. And it had been a while. One little kiss wouldn’t hurt.
Opening her mouth to admit his tongue, Zoe started to think perhaps Nick wasn’t that boring, after all. He was an extremely good kisser, slow and sensual. She put her arms around his waist, pulling their lower bodies together. It soon became apparent that he was enjoying this just as much as she was. As his erection pressed against Zoe’s hip, a delicious heat grew in her groin. Rain always made her horny, so snogging under a tree in a storm was bound to do funny things to her libido.
When Nick manoeuvred them both round so she was pressed against the tree, the last thing on her mind was getting her coat dirty. He pulled away from her mouth, only to start kissing her neck, jaw line and even having a little nibble on her earlobe. Zoe felt juices trickling into the gusset of her knickers and her clit ached for attention.
All our dreams can come true – if we have the courage to pursue them.”
–Walt Disney

I’m happy dancing over here, because Have You Heard My Book Review covered my erotic lesbian anthology, and gave it five stars!
They commented:
“These three short stories are wonderful for starting out that special evening of fun with your partner. Erotic enough to get the engines moving, but not pornographic to the point you feel left out. Try reading them to each other and then devise your own fun! I enjoyed all three and do recommend them highly. I gave this one 5 out of 5 books because they will make things spark.”

I haven’t a clue who he is, and I’d quite like to know. Mainly so I can find more pics of him and those amazing eyes… yum!
And now you may return to your regularly scheduled surfing the web for hot guys. Might I suggest you start here.
Today is the 100th anniversary of Bram Stoker’s death, so I wanted to mark the occasion with a blog post.
Naturally, the main thing he left behind was the fabulous novel, Dracula. He had a series of other novels and short stories too, but it was Dracula that seemed to catch the imagination of the world and has spawned a multitude of other vampire-related books, TV shows and movies (not to mention all the merchandise that goes with them!). As a fan of this particular genre, I couldn’t be happier. There is an endless supply of vamp-tastic stuff to keep me occupied forever and a day.
So thank you, Mr Stoker, for Dracula, which I’ve read many times (which certainly made my school, college and University courses much easier!), but really must re-read at some point soon. And thank you for helping to pave the way for some of my favourite things (in no particular order):
That’s just a tiny selection of vamp stuff I love. There are films and books galore that I could mention, but I’ll be going on forever, and I’ll still end up missing some out!
In case you didn’t know, here’s where vamps have sneaked into my work…
And I’ve no doubt there will be more! Despite what the press say about the vampire thing being ‘over,’ I don’t think it is. I still enjoy reading, watching and writing the stuff, and I’m sure many others do, too.
So thank you again, Mr Stoker. You’ve provided us with many, many happy hours of entertainment. RIP.
P.S. Looking for something vamp-tastic to read? Besides the four of my titles mentioned above (of course!), Victoria Blisse just released the third title in her Point Vamp series, The Vampire’s Choice. I haven’t read it yet, but I loved the first two so it’s definitely on my list!
I just spent a weekend in London, with an extension to go to the London Book Fair yesterday. Sightseeing stuff included a visit to Churchill’s War Rooms and Museum, a mooch around Fortnum & Mason, peering at The Ritz, visiting (and purchasing from) Choccywoccydoodah, a wander through Soho and Chinatown, and of course popping into a couple of book shops.
London Book Fair stuff included meeting up with lovely ladies Jenna Bright and Kitti Bernetti and checking out our gorgeous new books on the Xcite Books stand before heading off to chat and explore the rest of the enormous venue.
It was a fab day, with lots of chat, including The Secret Library (of course!), Smut by the Sea (the anthology and event), Smut in the City, The Book Show and much more. I also came home with a ton of books from the ladies at Ellora’s Cave, and some from Harlequin, too!
I also managed to scare a bloke on a stand when he asked what I wrote. He tried to appear unruffled when I answered, but admitted it was the best answer to that question that he’d had all day!
I’m still awaiting my author copies of Silk Stockings, but the book is available (or coming very soon) to stockists, so check out the links here.
Raise your hand if you love a hunky hero. *raises hand* The lovelies over at Riverina Romantics clearly do, as they’ve set up this awesome blog hop!
So, if you want to bag yourself some awesome book (and hunky hero) related prizes, then you’re in the right place! All you have to do is use the Rafflecopter below to enter my giveaway, then hit the other blogs on the link list to increase your chances of winning.
I’m rather a fan of writing hunky heroes, but I’ve decided to give my winner their choice of my backlist titles. Though hunky hero fanatics might want to consider A Bit of Rough (tattooed hunk), Succubus Comes Home (Jensen Ackles lookalike), Loose Ends (a guy that looks seriously sexy in a pair of tight jeans), Love Through Time (yummy security guard), Caught in the Act (hunky policeman), Susie White and the Right Hand Man (Chris Hemsworth lookalike), Punish Me Good (Alexander Skarsgard lookalike). Just a few hints there for you!
So what are you waiting for? Go forth and win some hunky hotties! Enter using the Rafflecopter, then scroll down for links to the other blogs taking part!
