The 6 loves of my life!

Hi all!

I have no guests or reviews today so thought I'd do a bit of a chatty post. I was on +Angelica Dawson blog a little while back (check it out here), and my Bio says I have 6 loves in my life. So I thought today I would chat about those 6 things :)



My Daughter
My Daughter is 4 1/2 years old, and was diagnosed with Autism when she was around 2. I was diagnose with PCOS when I was 14, and when I was 19 we were told I'd never have my own children. So when i found out I was pregnant, it was a very welcome shock!

She is growing amazingly, and is very bright. She is playing keyboard at the moment (picked it up herself). and can play a few things like Twinkle Twinkle, the opening music to +Richie Sambora 'Every Road Leads Home to You', Row row row your boat and London Bridge is falling Down. She has a reading average of an 8 year old and is starting to be able to write words quite clearly (they're still huge letters lol, but she's getting there!). We are very proud that she has been accepted into Mainstream reception for September and can't wait for her to be challenged a little more than she has been at nursery. I love her millions and millions.

My Son
My Son is 3 1/2 years old and was also diagnosed with Autism when he was around 2 years old too. My daughter was only 9 weeks old when I fell pregnant with my son, so again, we proved the doctors wrong!

My son has a few more problems than my daughter in regards to the autism. He has major sensory issues with things like public transport, crowded places and too much noise. He also can't walk long distances (and does a runner every time he's walking somewhere), so he is still in his Special Needs Pushchair (which is amazing by the way!). He is getting there though, and knows his numbers, letters and colours. He can put numbers and letters in order too! I love him millions and millions too!

My Other Half
My Other Half Chris is fantastic, and after stalking him at work for a while (lol, I actually did!), he agreed to go out with me, and we have never been apart since! That was almost 8 years ago. Although we aren't married yet (waiting until the kids are a little older), we have lived together for about 7 years, this is our 3rd place together, and we are extremely happy! He does have his health problems though, which mean at the moment I am his full time carer, so we are together all of the time (good job we like each other eh?! ;p). He plays guitar and is actually very very good, and writes his own lyrics too. He is a big gamer, and most of all, a massive Halo fan :D

Books
Books have always played a massive part in my life. I can't ever remember not having a book on the go (or 2!). I used to love visiting the library with my parents when I was a child. Me, my brother and sister would be allowed to choose our 10 (was it 10?) books to take home for the week, and I'm sure those 10 books didn't last those 7 days! Now I have over 200 books on my bookcase (sadly I am selling some of them as they are taking up a lot of space and won't be read again), and more than 1000 on my kindle (I blame these erotic authors... you know who you are!!!! ;p).  I love the way you can escape into a good book, so for those who don't read much, I try to turn them!

Tattoos
Tattoos are another of my favourite things. I currently have 13, but have recently had one of them re-done as it was rather faded. My other half has 6 now, where as 2 months ago he had none! I love ink, and think nothing is sexier than a gorgeous man with gorgeous tattoos. I am planning a sleeve at some point, but I have a feeling until that is sorted out properly, I may get more in the meantime :D I'm sure I'll keep going until I have no space left to tattoo!!

Food
'Food glorious food!'. Remember that song from school, or was it just us who sang it?! I love food, (and you can surely tell that by looking at me too), and I love a lot of food. I have always been a big eater, and love nothing better than sitting down to a gorgeous meal. Right now I am dieting again, and trying to slim down, so portion size and healthy food is on the go again. Some of my favourite meals are things like a Sunday Roast (chicken, beef, lamb or pork suits me right!), Mince and Dumplings with Mashed potatoes and carrots, Minted Lamb Kebabs (that my OH makes) with a lovely minty sauce on the side, chicken fajitas with peppers, salsa and sour cream... oh the list could go on and on!!!

So there you have it folks, those are my 6 loves in life. :D

I hope the sun is shining too where you are today.

*** REVIEW *** Blue Moon House by Angelica Dawson

Blue Moon house by Angelica Dawson

Julia has the chance to become one of the vampires of the Blue Moon House. Before being accepted, however, she must prove herself to each of the vampires, and each has their own exacting cost. Ranging from lesbian, to being forced, to physical torture, she is pushed to her breaking point time and again. Eventually her perseverance pays off and she crosses from submissive to dominant and vampire.

I received a copy of this book from the author in return for an honest review. 

This is the first book Angelica wrote in the Blue Moon house series, although her other book Kitten is a prequel. I read Kitten first, then went straight onto BMH.

I have to say, even though I liekd this one very much, I prefered Kitten.

This story again was great, Julia visits Blue Moon House, and as the blurb says, she goes from submissive, to dominant, to vampire. I liked Julias character, and loved how eager she was. I didn't like Will at all. I know it was his role to be as hard and dominant as he was, and you see this during the times of the conversations around the table. You can see he is different when not in his Dominant role, but I still didn't like the way he was with his submissives. He was too hard, too rough, too... well I suppose you'll see when you read it. 

But... I loved the story! Again Sophia is a great character, adn  hope to see more of her in the next book!

:D

Great Author: Raven McAllan

Hi guys. Another great author post today since I haven't done one in a while.

Today my great author is Raven McAllan.

Here are the books of Ravens that I've read so far:


Theres plenty more there for me to read too! 

Raven is a great author. I love her books, and if I hadn't have found Doris O'Connor, I wouldn't have found Raven either! I have to say, she is a lovely person, and has given me smiles, advice, and freebies (who doesn't love the freebies :p).

I love the way her stories drag me in that I never want to put them down! Of Ravens books I've read so far, the Silk Street books are my favourites. I can't wait for the third to be written! Raven is brilliant at writing her contemporary romances, adn her characters are always well written and well described. And I love them all, from Lord Felton is Silver Silk Ties, to Dylan in Impulse.

I wanted to share my love of Ravens books with you all, and tell you to go grab one if you haven't already, and get started ASAP!

What a blurb huh?! I received a copy of this from Angelica in return for an honest review.

I read this in one day, today in fact, and I couldn't wait to get the review written and move onto Blue Moon House as soon as I can!

I love love loved this book, massively! The first scene was fantastic between Joce, her roomate and her roomates fiance. The book starts out hot, and moves higher and higher, until the end which is so scorching hot, you could quite possibly burn your fingers on your e-reader!

At first (before reading) I didn't think it was going to be a book I would love, but how wrong was I! I loved Jocelyns character, feisty girl, strong, knows what she wants and knows exactly how to get it! I rather liked Sophias character too, and look forward to reading more about all of the others there. I am going straight to Blue Moon House now (not literally, on my kindle ;p)

You've got a lovely house, beautiful women, hot men, plenty of delicious sex, and vampires.... what more could you ask for! Give it a go, you will not be disappointed!

***REVIEW*** The Billionaires Unwanted Virgin by Doris O'Connor

The Billionaires Unwanted Virgin by Doris O'Connor
 
Lie back and think of England. She could do this. It was only sex, after all. Auctioning off her virginity was the easy part—going through with it not so easy. When Alice realizes who has acquired her, keeping her emotions out of the deal seems an impossible task.
Self-made billionaire Lakota, Lance Kemnay has no time for women, let alone one who would sell her virginity to the highest bidder. Ever practical, however, he sees in Alice a solution to his immediate need for a wife. The emotions she stirs in him are just lust, and lust can be dealt with. As they connect emotionally and physically, his resolve to keep his heart aloof is tested beyond limits.
Can he trust his tender feelings, or has he been taken for a fool by the one woman he thought he could trust?

I received this book from Doris in return for an honest review. Here goes (THERE MAY BE SPOILERS IF YOU HAVEN'T READ IT ALREADY):

I read this book over a week, not because it was bad or anything, but because I had such a headache that I just couldn't read much at any one time. Otherwise, this book would have been devoured in one sitting! I loved it, and as always, Doris does not disappoint!

This is the story of  young lady, Alice, who auctions off her virginity. Now at first I thought, why the hell would you do this, and as I found out that it was to raise money for her very sick niece, I understood. I mean how could you not understand when someone throws a sick child into the equation right! Anyhoo, Alice finds the man who has, erm, bought her, and things get serious very quickly.

I loved Lakota. Well, at first I wasn't sure at all, I thought he was going to be a bit of a macho pig, but after a little while, I liked him, then a little while later, I loved him! Michelle Doyle on Goodreads posted her review (See it here) and it was only once I read what she'd written (or seen the pictures she'd posted), that I agreed with her 'look' of Lakota. Jason Momoa! With his long wavy hair, and burn-into-your-soul eyes, he fits perfectly! The description of the characters was great, and I love the way they all sounded, but especially Alice and Lakota.

Alice was a sweet girl, but not always. She knew what she wanted and she was going to get it. When she and Lakota spent their first night together, even though she didn't really know what she was doing, she knew what she wanted.

As always, Ms O'Connor writes her sex scenes with much hotness! And trust me, there is plenty of hot steamy sweaty sex in this book. But the storyline behind it was really enjoyable. I hope she will write another, and carry the story on a bit further, especially with what happens in the last chapter.

Well done again Doris, another fantastic story!

Excerpt:

The key in the lock sent her pulse racing, and she stepped into the hallway, wanting to be the first thing he saw. The door opened. His finely pressed military uniform accentuated the thick muscles of his chest and arms. His dark hair and swarthy complexion gave him the appearance of an Arabic sheik, and she wanted to be his harem girl.

A loud thump reverberated throughout the room as he dropped the bags he carried. Ignoring his widening eyes, she jumped into his arms, pressing her warm flesh to him. Ron's muscles rippled under her hands. He kicked the door closed behind them, and her lips covered his, her tongue desperate to discover the heat of his mouth.

Catch the rest of the tour!

Today I had a bit of a scare...

So today I had a bit of a scare.

I've had type 1 diabetes for 8 years now, and at first I looked after myself really well. In fact, it's only been the last few years its been bad. But... each time I've been to the diabetic clinic for my check ups, even though my HBA1c has been a bit high, everything else has been fine. And I think I've been a bit cocky about it all.

I had my latest annual check up last month, and when my eyes were checked, they said there was something very small there, but it looked like nothing. Then today, I received a letter stating that the changes in my eyes show the start of Diabetic Retinopathy, but needs no treatment at this time. It scared the shit out of me. For the first time, I've actually been scared about it. I've sat this afternoon, and cried for about 2 hours, having a really good long chat with my other half about it. About the dangers of losing my sight if I continue the way I am, the chance of losing feet, hands, legs or even arms. I think it's seriously took something happening to make me realise properly that if I don't control this, it will get the better of me. I've swam along in life thinking nothing will happen, but this has made me realise that it can, and if I don't change things, it will.

When talking to OH, I got mad a little. He was asking me loads of questions like did I want o be able to see my kids grow up, do I want to lose my feet,to which I was answering yes or no, quietly. But the more questions, the more upset I got, and when he asked me if I had even accepted my diabetes, I shouted NO! And it was only then I realised that I haven't accepted it properly. I don't know why, but it obviously seems like I haven't.

So today is a kick up the arse, well and truly. I can't let it control me, I can't let it get me down any longer. My diet crashed and burned back at Christmas, after losing 19lbs, so that has to come back again!

Just a rant I know, but I needed to finish this off, let it out, and start afresh tomorrow.

G'night folks :)

20 This or That questions with..... Tara Chevrestt!!!!





Well hello people!!!

Thursday again, so you know what that means!! And today Tara Chevrestt is here with me, and I'm digging lol!

So come on in Tara, sit down and grab a drink!


Food
Sweet or savoury? I like sweet. I mean, I wouldn't like a sweet steak--actually I like cinnamon chipotle so I guess I do--but I love sweet wine. Cinnamon chipotle? Never tasted it!

Salad or sandwich? Depends. Am I eating out? Salad. Less messy.

Macdonalds or Burger King? Neither. I don't eat that stuff, not since I saw that article about the pink stuff they put in their chicken. *shudders* Oh! i don't think I want to know!!

White meat or red meat? White mostly. In an effort to be healthier this year, I no longer use ground beef. I use pork or turkey instead, but I do eat an occasional filet mignon. Ooh I love a good Filet Mignon! And Pork Mince is fab for meatballs :)

Entertainment
Bon Jovi or Guns n Roses? Neither. I like rap. I'll take Too Short or Ice Cube any day. Ice Cuby babay!

Movie or book? Depends. If I'm interested in a book but it's 500 pages, I'll go for the movie instead. It's rare that a book can hold me for 500 pages. Too much detail.  But I love books and always have one in hand (or my kindle).

Movies or TV shows? Hm. Both...but I don't like NEW movies. They are crap and they are just copying off old ones. It seems Hollywood is running out of ideas. I like Turner Classic Movies and I like TV shows that take us back in time: Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries and Bomb Girls. I also like Law & Order, but my favorite is stuff in or portraying the past. I love old movies too, To Kill a Mocking bird, Goodbye Mr Chips, Boys Town... I could be here all day!

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings? Neither. Not remotely interested.

Damon or Stefan Salvatore? I have no idea who those people are.

True Blood or Vampire Diaries? Never read either one.

Friends or Sex and the City? I like Sex and the City! I have both movies. They made me laugh so hard. I remember one of the girls crapping her pants in the first movie and Samantha and the condoms in movie two. LOL Sex and the City is soooo funny!

Star Wars or Star Trek? Ick. Neither. Ick... you can't ick Star Wars!!!

Random
Dominance or submission? I don't play those games. No man will ever dominate me in any way. I prefer to be on an equal basis with my partner. Love & respect, not BDSM. Good answer :)

Kisses or hugs? Who's offering? I'm pretty standoffish and don't care to be touched. I'll take a hug from a family member, but no kisses. Husband only. I have this "arm's length" rule. You must stand an arm length away. LOL So if I see you I shouldn't run up tp hug you I take it ;P

Bath or shower? I like both. I like a bubble bath when I need to de-stress, but mostly I shower.

Call or text? Text. I can't hear on the telephone.

Date night: stay in or go out? Stay in. I'll make a nice meal and we'll watch a TV show together that we both like--such as Top Gear.

Singing or dancing? Dancing. I can't carry a tune due to my deafness, but I can feel bass.

Vanilla or kink? I plead the fifth...but no BDSM games. :)

Cotton or satin? Cotton. Skin can breathe.

Anything you'd like to add, or anything new you'd like to tell us about while you're here?
 
Yes, I have a new release coming up June 1st that I'm terribly excited about. It's a contemporary romance on the set of a reality TV show for AUTHORS. The show is called The Next Bestseller and 7 authors vie for a contract with a Big 6 publisher, 100,000 dollars, and title of the next bestseller. It's being released by Escape Publishing, a digital imprint of Harlequin Enterprises - Australia. You can mark it to read on Goodreads. http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17760130-plotting-to-win

I'd love to know...what challenges do you think they will have to face in this competition?
Oh wow, that sounds really interesting! It is definately going on my to read list! Hmm, I wonder what things will happen? Some very jealous and greedy people? Murders maybe? Ooh... I'm getting excited!!

Thanks for having me!
You are very welcome! Come back any time!

Wish me luck!


 Okay, so I've bought too many books recently that I just haven't read. So..... im on a book buying ban for 2 months, to catch up on the unread books on my shelves and my kindle! 

Do you think I can do it? I'm not so sure! I have a major addiction to buying books, so lets see how well I do.

I've made a ticker to count down the days,  just to help me along a little bit! Its up on the right side of the blog. And below!


Wish me luck people!!

Blog reflections :D

 I've seen a few people do this recently, so I thought it was time I do a reflections post.

My blog has been up and running now for 9 months now, and it has been fantastic. Here are some of the stuff thats happened over those 9 months:

  • My blog started out with little hope of readers, it was mostly a place for me to review books I was reading, and for me to look at. At 9am today I have had 7,481 page views! Yesterday I got my most page views on one day, which was 200! >>>>
  • I have met some fantastic authors via my blog, and they have been really great agreeing to do guest spots for me, answering my '20 This or That Questions', sending me books for free for review, allowing me to guest on their blogs, friending me on GoodReads, Signing books for me (which you can find pics of here) and basically being there whenever I've had a question or just needed something. I won't name names or I'll be here forever, but those people know who they are and I hope they know I am really grateful to them :)
  •  I have 32 followers! I know 32 may not seem a big number to some, but to me it's great! And considering none of them are family or friends I've had to bribe to follow (lol, I wouldn't bribe anyone really!) I'm very happy :D
  •  I have joined with Breathless Press Publishers to host a few authors and their new releases, and promote some authors and their books, which has been great, and has gotten my blog more views.
  • I decided that I do want to write, and started on 3 novels (which are taking their time, but will get there!), and have occasionally posted snippets via The Nuthouse Scribblers Sexy Snippets Sunday. This also made me pluck up the courage to post some of my short writings on my blog (find the links here), and have had some great feedback on them! 
  • I gave a bad review, which I hated writing, but it has to be done I suppose. I did send my apologies to the author, but didn't get much of a reply :/
  • I contacted an author and for the first time, had to admit defeat with his book. I apologised lots and explained that I had tried twice, but just could not get into the book. He was very kind and told me not to worry, and if I didn't like it, I  didn't like it! This made me realise it is ok to let people know that you didn't like something they wrote, and you don't ever have to be nasty over it! 
  • I have had my reviews posted on Breathless Press blog, and have guested on a few blogs myself :D
  • And via the blog, I have found a new love in the genre of erotic fiction :D So I thank my blog for bringing these books into my life!

A lot of stuff has happened as you can see, and hopefully it will keep coming! So I just wanted to say a massive THANK YOU to all my followers, readers and friends for keep coming back, and keeping my blog afloat!

Breathless Press Presents: A Celebration For Armed Forces Day ***REVIEW*** A Soldier's Woman by Ava Delany

BREATHLESS PRESS PRESENTS
A SOLDIER'S WOMAN: THE BEGINNINGS SERIES, BOOK 1 BY AVA DELANY
18th May 2013

This post is part of Breathless Press' 'A Celebration for Armed Forces' Day. People everywhere have signed up to join in, promote and review a 'Forces based' book, and dedicate their post to a branch of their Armed Forces.


I have dedicated my post to The British Army.  Every member of any Armed Forces does an amazing job, and one that none of us should ever forget. I am constantly in awe of these people, as I know it's not something I could do, but for them to fight for our countries, to fight for what they believe, is fantastic, and they deserve all the recognition they can get.

The UK's military role in Afghanistan since 2001 has brought with it a heavy human toll. Members of the Army, RAF, Royal Marines and special forces have lost their lives in the fight against the Taliban. These 444 extremely brave men and women deserve a special mention. 

So here is to all those out there now fighting for us, all those who have fought in the past, and for all those who have lost their lives protecting our country. 

Now onto the book I have chosen to review 

A Soldier's Woman by Ava Delany


I read this in one sitting, it's a good short story, but not as short as Avas flirt series :) I really enjoyed it. The whole spin the bottle thing at the start was fun, and you can tell it is going to land on Jenelle and Ron! 15 minutes of heaven in a closet? What fun! I really thought this was a nice story, but it did have it's sad parts. Ron leaving to join the army was upsetting, and you can really feel the fondness between the characters at this point. I can't wait to get my hands on the next in the series now!

 

Title: A Soldier’s Woman

Series: The Beginnings

Author: Ava Delany

Genre: Erotika

Heat Rating: 3

Publisher: Breathless Press

Formats Available In: All eBook formats

Word Count: 6.723

Blurb: Janelle spent her high school years and beyond fantasizing about Ron. Now, thanks to a game of spin the bottle, her fantasy is becoming reality. Prequel to A Soldier's Return.



Janelle was a chubby and awkward teen in love with the most popular guy from her high school. She's in college now, and her heart still can't let him go even though he's heading off to the army and out of her life. Janelle has once last chance to see him again, but he'd never give her the time of day... would he? When she finds herself drawn into a game of spin the bottle with the man of her dreams, she finds out how wrong she is.



Ron admires Janelle as much for her spunk as he always has for her well-endowed figure. And when the sweetly shy girl shows her wild side, he can't think of anything other than possessing her—mind, body, and soul.

Book Links:






 
Excerpt:

"Oooh. Into the closet," the redhead chanted.

"Into the closet." The others shouted with him, and Debbie nudged her shoulder, joining in.

Janelle glanced at Debbie, then back at Ron, who came towering toward her. His wide shoulders and dark looks made her think of an Arabic sheik. For an instant, she imagined him throwing her over his shoulder, hauling her back to his pillowed bed, and making passionate love to her in its soft confines. But this was reality, not fantasy.

He extended his hand and she took it, pressing to her feet without putting much weight on him. She didn't want to make her weight any more obvious than it needed to be; though just the touch of his fingers made her feel lighter than air. Lighter than the clouds.

She glided on those clouds to the closet, the taunting chants of the crowd nearly inaudible. In this moment, only the strength of his fingers and the intensity of his gaze existed.

When she crossed the threshold she nearly turned and bolted back out. What if something happened in this room? What if it didn't?

The shadowy room—brightened only by a small nightlight—terrified and excited her. What would she do? What could she do? He wouldn't want to touch her... Wouldn't even want to look at her. Why would he? The door closed behind them and laughter flooded from the crack at the base.

She turned to face him, and her breath hitched. He smelled as good as he looked, and even in the dim light, his bright blue eyes sparkled.

Janelle opened her mouth, but it took a moment before the words would move past her quivering lips. "We can just wait in here for a few minutes, then go out again. We don't have to do anything."

He smiled, raising an eyebrow.

She took a shaky breath, lifting her chin a notch to get the air past the hitch in her throat.

"And why wouldn't we?" He stepped into her.

Blurb: When Sage stumbles across a man hanging by his coat in a tree, she's torn between fear and curiosity. He introduces himself as Sir Cade, and though his English accent sends a tingle through her, Sage finds his Renaissance clothing and archaic choice of words odd. An accidental touch sends a jolt of inexplicable electricity through her and after they kiss, Sage finds herself on an enchanted adventure filled with medieval mayhem and the possibility of a new life. Will Sage go out on a limb and believe in the magic he professes? Or will she remain rooted to her time without him?

Excerpt:

"Shit." She removed her hand, but the after effect still resonated within her. Showered in the sensation, yet oddly chilled without the warmth of his touch, an involuntary shiver ran through her. "Who the hell are you?" she whispered.

"C-Cade. Sir Cade—of Surrey." His eyes clouded. "Damnation, woman, are ye a witch?"
Despite the seriousness of the moment, she couldn't help but smile. "A witch? Um, definitely not. I think it's you." She braced herself. "Watch." As soon as she laced her fingers through his, he sucked in a breath.

Her eyelids twitched then closed, and she fell into the depths. The pulse of pleasure, like a bubble of air in a pond, slowly rose and popped at the surface of her mind then rippled. It felt...right.

"Pray thee! Ye must cease this." Cade slipped from her grasp, his eyes wide.

She gasped at the sudden disconnection. "I didn't do...whatever that was."

He took several steps back, his eyes nearly black with...was that fury? "Ye harbor power over my...emotions."

Oh, that wasn't fury she imagined, but passion.

"I—" What could she say? It was as if there was an electric current pulsing through him. One that singed the very core of her and made her quake with need. Her heart quickened at the thought of his fingers running over her body, searing her with his touch. She had no doubt it could ignite into something truly magical. Kiss him, a voice inside her urged. Surprised by the thought, she almost followed through. Who was this strange man with electrifying hands?

"Is Surrey a planet?" she blurted. "Are you an alien?" The shock created stupidity, the only explanation for her ignorant remark. "I mean, where is Surrey?"

He tilted his head, a crooked smile conflicting with his furrowed brow. "I dare not ask what an alien is. Or a planet for that matter. But, I assure ye, Surrey is here in England."
It took a moment for his words to sink in. "Oh, Cade." She took his hand, but he snatched it away. She eyed the muscles straining against his shirt when he ran his hand over his face. She wanted to rip his friggin' clothes off. "You're in New York."

"York, England?"

Shit, the hope in his eyes was painful. She hated to snuff it out. "No. Upstate New York." His blank stare made her continue. "Have you heard of Grand Island?" Still nothing. "In between Niagara Falls and Buffalo?"

He slumped to the forest floor. "Hell's teeth," he whispered. "'Tis not a place I have ever heard of."

"Well, the island is tiny, but surely you've heard of Niagara Falls?" Her giggle cut short at the shake of his head. "Oh shit." She sat beside him. "You're teasing me, right?"
He raked his fingers through his hair. "I jest not."

A thought gnawed at the edge of her mind. A weird, outlandish thought. "Okay." She opened her mouth, clamped it shut, then tried again. "Now let me get this straight. You're from England."
 
"Aye." He propped his elbows on his knees and cradled his face.

"And you've never heard of New York?" Her words sounded wooden, even to her own ears.

"Or the place of falls." His hair draped over his face. She wanted to brush it aside to see if he was smiling. Messing with her. Anything to ease her racing heart.

Excerpt:

Tomasz gazed at her, barely able to breathe, let alone speak. Her half closed eyes burned into him. He gazed deep into them for a moment, falling into them, then his attention fell to her hand, still resting on the damp silk mound of her pussy.Her breathing was labored and heavy, her lips, soft and red, parted. His hand cupped the bulge in his perfectly pressed trousers, slowly stroking along the length of its hardness but he couldn't stop.

Her eyes locked onto the movement of his hand. A smile that was halfway between an angel and a slut spread over her face. She looked up and her eyes met his again, hers burning with a fire that held his gaze, and she slipped her fingers inside the dampness of her panties, gently sliding a single fingertip over her still pulsing clit. A soft moan escaped her parted lips like a whispered invitation.

He stepped forward and cupped her face in his hands, gazing even deeper into the post orgasmic haze of the infinite depths of her green eyes. She looked up at him, inviting his kiss, wordlessly, and with her other hand reached for his hand, the hand that was slowly, rhythmically, rubbing up and down the aching need of his rigid cock. She flattened her palm on his and moved with him.

They kissed, no words needed, his mouth on hers, but hers the more powerful, needing to own and control his mouth, her tongue seeking out his. Her hand pressed against his, taking control of his movement now, slowing it so that she could feel how long and hard he was. And he was, so very hard, and long. She wanted that, she needed that, in her, fucking her. She pulled his hand up over his confined erection, slowly, so that they both felt the total extent of his arousal, and then pushed it more forcefully down and out of the way. He complied totally with her direction .He was hers now, hers to play with, to use. The kiss intensified, and her fingers unzipped him, reaching in, finding and grasping him. She felt the wet silky tip of his cock under her fingers as she undid his belt with her other hand, unbuttoning and freeing it so that she could wrap her fingers around the full length of him.

Then he lifted her, his hands on her hips, up onto the tabletop, and pulled himself closer to her. She responded, wrapping her legs around his waist as her fingers eased aside the wet silk of her panties. She guided the moist head of his cock to rub against her clit, still tingling and pulsing, before she slid it lower to rest, achingly, against her pussy lips. She denied him entry, her hot, wet labia brushing, teasing him. Her hand wrapped around him stopped him from thrusting into her, despite his burning desire now to just fuck her hard and fast and unload his tight balls deep inside her. She kept him there, for just a few seconds that seemed like hours to him. She let him enjoy the wet kiss of her pussy lips on the moist tip of his cock, savoring the moment before she let his thickness disappear into her, before she let him become enclosed in the hot, wet embrace of her cunt. She was going to ride him to heaven and he was going to love every second of it.

20 This or That Questions with..... R Brennan!!!


Well hello again :)

Today R Brennan is over visiting to answer the 20 questions. Give hre a wave people!

*Waves* Welcome!!


Food
Sweet or savoury?
Sweet for sure. Well, unless it's bacon. I can't say no to bacon... No meat lover can say no to bacon!

Salad or sandwich?
Sandwich, usually. Though my diet could probably use a few more salads.

Macdonalds or Burger King?
McDonalds for me. But, sometimes I think that is just a matter of convenience, since there are two McD's close to my work and one BK (and that one is next door to one of the two McDonalds. I'm very practical in my junk food addiciton. :) Practicality always comes into it!

White meat or red meat?
Red meat (Damn, these questions make me look extremely unhealthy) Its ok! Red meat is the best :)

Entertainment
Bon Jovi or Guns n Roses?
Really, neither -- but if I had to pick, I think I would go with Guns and Roses.

Movie or book?
I like them both, really. But, I would prefer to read the book before the movie if both are available. Each has its place. I prefer the book before the movie too

Movies or TV shows?
I like my weekly shows. Until the season ends, that is. Then I'm a little grumpy I have to wait for more new episodes. Oh I know what you mean!!

Harry Potter or Lord of the Rings?
While I like Harry Potter quite a bit, I have to go with Lord of the Rings on this one.

Damon or Stefan Salvatore?
Hehe.. I don't know who either of them are. Am I missing something good? Yes you are indeed!

True Blood or Vampire Diaries?
I've not seen either of them, so I couldn't say.

Friends or Sex and the City?
Friends. Definitely.

Star Wars or Star Trek?
Star Trek for me. Live long and prosper :)

Random
Dominance or submission?
For me, submission. For my partner, Dominance all the way. *wink* ;)

Kisses or hugs?
Long, slow, sensual kisses. *nods* yup yup.

Bath or shower?
Shower. But, mostly because we don't have a bathtub. A hot tub, yes. I go for that when I get a soaking zen.

Call or text?
I should be saying call, since I think we don't talk to each other enough these days, but if I am being honest, I do text more often than calling.

Date night: stay in or go out?
Stay in. I am a home body, hang out and relax type.

Singing or dancing?
I wish I could sing...but I really am terrible. I'm not much for dancing.

Vanilla or kink?
Kink all the way.

Cotton or satin?
Hrmmm... Cotton clothing and satin bindings at playtime? Good answer ;)

Anything you'd like to add, or anything new you'd like to tell us about while you're here?

I'm super excited that the sequel to Faith's Gift will be released by Evernight Publishing in May. Really looking forward to sharing more of my favorite dominant, Richard Halstead.

Thanks so much for having me. I really loved the questions and had a blast answering them all.
You're very welcome R! Come back anytime!

Angelica Dawson is here.. and she's looking for reviewers :D

Please give a warm welcome to Angelica Dawson! She's here today to promote 2 of her books, 'Blue Moon House', and it's prequel 'Kitten'. And..... she would like to give away a few copies to people who will give back an honest review, preferably on Amazon, Goodreads, Naughty Nights Press (http://naughtynightspress.com/nnpstore2/) and your blog if you have one.

If you would like to review one of the books, please leave me a comment here with your email address and I'll send your details to Angelica!

Anyway, here are the great books:

Blue Moon House

Blurb: Jocelyn considers herself sexually experienced, a leader and manipulator. She is looking for the next challenge. The rumors surrounding Blue Moon House sound like just the thing she's looking for. Losing her roommate to marriage, she also needs a new place to stay. Hoping to find both in the same entity, she follows the rumors to their source and finds much more than she bargained for, beginning with a discovery that defies her biological science background - vampires.

Excerpt:
Sophia’s blue eyes filled Julia’s swimming vision. Her last command had been to look at her. Her throat was hoarse from screaming in pleasure, in pain; her chest was heaving with the effort of her vaginal contractions, pulling her diaphragm, her thighs; all of her was consumed by the continued climax. Julia whimpered, licking her lips, her mouth dry. 
“There you are,” Sophia murmured and the grinding suddenly stopped. Julia fell, sliding to the floor around Sophia’s legs. The vampire picked Julia up easily and laid her on the bed Julia had been leaning against. “You are beautiful, Julia. Remember, you don’t have to join us to continue to come here. This is not an ultimatum, only a choice.” Julia sighed as Sophia slipped an ice chip between her lips. Holding it in her teeth, Julia let the liquid run over her tongue and down her throat while Sophia wiped her down with a wet cloth.

Kitten: Prequel to Blue Moon House

How does a twentieth century woman take back control over her own body? By giving that control to the right man.
What if you could have limitless sexual pleasure, at the price of your own blood?
Where does the girl who has done it all go when she wants something new?
 


Excerpt
 
Jocelyn splashed water on her face, trying to wash away the semen and the tears. The water was blessedly hot, just short of scalding. She shook her head from side to side. Nails bit into her wrists as her hands were pried away. She found herself staring into Sophia's jewel-like eyes.
“You are fine,” she said with authority. “You are not less. You are not trash. You are proud. You did this. You chose this. You gave and now you have received. This is not a sign you are powerless. It is a sign that you grant power, power that is now and is always yours.”
As she talked, Sophia released Jocelyn's hands and they came down. Her breathing became even and she nodded toward the end.
“You have the final power,” Sophia told her. “One word will end any encounter and you will be safe. You must trust us, or we have nothing more to do here.”
Jocelyn nodded. “Yes, mistress.”
Sophia smiled. “You thought you had moved past this, but it's still part of you. We'll make it an even stronger part. It won't rule you, but it will guide you. It will show you where you still let them have power and help you take it back.”
