I’m over at Naughty & Spice. And I’m talking about my, ahem, to do list. Accompanied with photos. You know you wanna check THAT out.
I might be gone for a couple of days. Forgive me. Son is graduating (eighth grade, sniff sniff, getting so old, sniff sniff) and I’ll be busy doing family stuff for the next couple of days. Oh and reading.
Because I bought this:
I can’t wait to start it.
And just because…
A picture of Shia. Damn it okay yes, he’s my boyfriend hero in my book I’m working on. And I love my hero! I love this book I’m writing! I think I’ll share a photo of the woman who has inspired my heroine…later…

My friend Lori Borrill’s latest HQ Blaze book, Putting it to the Test, is now available! Yes indeed I was wandering around Target a couple of days ago and spotted it. Threw it in my shopping cart of course. I’ll be reading it this weekend. My reward for working my tail off this week.
Carly Abrams won a spot on a hot project by cheating on a compatibility test.
Now she must pretend to be the perfect match of a man who’s been a thorn in her side since he swaggered in to Hall Technologies two years ago.
Matt Jacobs always figured he wasn’t tops on Carly’s list, but who can ignore those test results? He wants to see if they’re as hot in the flesh as they are on paper.
Watch the sparks fly when Carly’s compatibility results are truly put to the test!
Isn’t that cover hot? Well actually I think the hero is hot. I like his hair. I like his hands. I like the heroine’s urrr, assets. She’s hot stuff too.
So go forth and buy it!
I’m also going to mention my friend Eve Power’s book too. Six & Sexy at Samhain Publishing.
And also my friend Elle Kennedy’s book Dance of Seduction also at Samhain Publishing
Whew. Lots of pimpage today!

How could I forget that my good friend Feisty has a book out today? HOW COULD I???
Well I’m able to redeem myself right now. ‘Cos here it is:
(click cover to purchase, read excerpt, etc.)
As an ex-cop turned private investigator in Reno, Nevada, Mason O’Malley thinks he’s seen it all. But nothing could prepare him for the kooky phone call about a stolen tiara — or the weird, irresistible woman who places it.
Lacy Kane is a fiery redhead with a love for vintage and a superhuman sense of smell. Her scent energy is grounded in the amethyst that decorates her prized tiara, so she’s desperate to get the stolen item back. When she hires a private detective, though, Lacy gets more than she bargained for in Mason, a gorgeous, dominant tough guy with a hypnotic scent.
And that’s before the handcuffs come out…
This book has the immortal line “Hornier than a breadbox.” If that doesn’t intrigue you I don’t know what will!
So buy it damn it! It’ll make you hornier than a breadbox!

I’m a book whore, I admit it. I buy way too many and I create little (ha ha) TBR piles that grow and grow. It’s a sickness. So I’ve been trying to lay off purchasing books just to save some bucks ya know? But I do have my automatic buys.
(click cover to go to Jodi’s site)
I heart Jodi Lynn Copeland. She was the first Kensington Aphrodisia book I read. After Hours is what it was called. It was hot! And funny! Contemporaries are normally my favorite reads. I loved every minute of this book. I’ve enjoyed all of her books. She rocks.
To an extent, she was my inspiration to push beyond writing the sizzling romance and actually write sizzling HOT romance. So thanks Jodi.
Anywho, I started reading it this afternoon. So far so good! Talk about hot! Whew. Gimme a glass of cold water!

(click cover to go to Sasha’s site)
Readers first met Karl Dawson in BOUND, they’ll get to know him a little better in TROUBLE, but one woman will learn all in WICKED.
Bad-boy divorce attorney Karl Dawson has seen all the ways love can go wrong. That’s why he’s given up on it. Jaded and feeling restless, he has playmates, not girlfriends. A leather-clad Dominant, he comes and goes in the city’s after-dark playgrounds as he pleases. That’s how he likes it.
Lara Fox is an independent jack-of-all-trades who can do anything she sets her mind to - except that falling-in-love thing. She’s got a need for control too strong for most men, and an inability to walk away from a challenge. Including a challenge like Karl. He’s cocky, arrogant, and demanding. That’s how she needs it.
They’re perfect for each other. But what begins as a sensual battle of wills turns into a journey neither is prepared for when Lara is threatened and emotional walls start to crumble.

I adore Sasha White. I always feel like her characters are so real — and when I finish her books it’s always with a sigh of satisfaction. She’s an automatic must buy for me. You know what’s even better? Meeting her in person! She’s a lot of fun and very sweet. I lurve me some Sasha.
As us writers like to do, she poured her heart out on her blog a few days ago and I could totally feel her pain. One minute we’re on a high like we are the best thing since sliced bread. The next moment we’re crying into our beer and lamenting at how damn SUCKY we are. We are the suckiest of the SUCKAGE. Our middle names our suckage. It’s a big “I suck” fest.
Trust me, I’ve been there. All of us writers have been there.
So this Friday’s pimpage is dedicated to Sasha! I loved Bound, thought Trouble was lots o’ fun and Wicked, whew! Hawt! Go buy it!

I’m in love with two authors (oh please I’m in love with a TON of authors but these are my two faves at this very moment).
First up is Jill Monroe. Her HQ Blaze book Hitting the Mark is fabulous, one of the best Blazes I’ve read in a while. Talk about sexual tension - yum yum. And her blog is fun to visit too.
She had a contest a while back and I entered, and I won! So now I have two gift certificates waiting to be spent, one at B&N (pffft, gone in an instant) and one at iTunes (need to think on this one). Whoo hoo, can’t wait!
But really, go out and buy Hitting the Mark. It’s fab. Really.
Okay, and I’m also in love with Jami Alden. Her Kensington Aphrodisia book A Taste of Honey - oh my gosh! I sat on the couch this morning, ignored my children and read the second novella (it’s an anthology about three sexy brothers) in one sitting! It was awesome. I’m still glowing, like it happened to me or something (that Nick is dead sexy).
Sigh…I can only hope to write good enough books that make a reader sit and read it in one sitting. Make her sigh when she finishes it and wish she was the heroine. Damn, that’s good stuff.
Add these books to your TBB list if you like them contemporary, hot and sexy!
