One Tasty Night


I received a google alert today and it was for this fantastic review for One Tasty Night. I decided to share a bit of the book with you. So, I'll start with the link to the review and below I'll share the blurb and excerpt!


Enjoy and Happy Tuesday!

It seems Amber Skyze has a writing ability we would all love to have when it comes to erotic romance. I am so impressed with her writing. She is a very clear, tight (no pun intended) writer. I really enjoy her books and her characters and the worlds they live in.


To read the full review go here:




Blurb:

Taylor Jax has a secret. She fantasizes about seducing long time friend Shane Griffin. Only problem, he’s eight years her junior – too young in her mind.
During a game of truth or dare her secret is exposed. Challenged by her best friends Taylor must go into an adult toy store and buy all the accessories needed to live out her fantasy.
With another night of truth or dare looming, Taylor makes a bold move. Before her friends can dare her, she plans a full-fledge seduction.
Shane has loved Taylor for as long as he can remember. She enters his store in disguise, prompting him to tease her. To his surprise she agrees to have dinner with him. And when she propositions him he wonders - will one night be enough?

Excerpt:

Looking around Taylor noticed she wound up in the vibrator aisle. At least it was something familiar. Every woman owned a vibrator, didn’t they? As she absorbed the different sizes and shapes she wondered how big Shane was. Picking up the icicle dreams she scrunched her nose. Not her style. She liked them to at least look like a penis. She placed it back in its spot.
She snatched a rather large one off the hook, imagining it Shane’s size.
“Hot bunny. Now this is what I’m talking about.”
"Find everything you're looking for?" Shane asked, sneaking up behind her.
His warm breath tickled the back of her neck, sending heat coursing through her overheated body. Her mouth grew dry. Water. She needed water to put out the flames burning her body. "Umm, I think I'm okay," she breathed.
"Are you sure?" he whispered.
She wanted to fall back into his arms. She wanted to give in to her desires and let him do whatever he wanted. “Yes.”
God, she had to get out of there soon or something bad was going to happen.
"You sure you don’t need a hand?" His fingertips traced down her arms and sent shivers through her body.
She wanted to scream Fuck Me! but she fought the urge. "Really, I'm fine. Don't you have other customers to assist?"
"Not at the moment. You're my only customer. And since you're always so good to me I'm going to give you extra special attention.”
Her legs were mush standing this close to him.
“Let me see your list,” he coaxed.
“Shane, I’m fine. Seriously. I'll handle the list."
Shane stepped in front of her. "I know the store from top to bottom. Just like you know Tasty Taylor’s. Let me help, please."
Those captivating cerulean eyes pulled her into a trance. They begged her to just give in this one time. She wouldn't. She couldn't.
"No.”
"Come on," he pleaded. Before she could respond, he snatched the paper from her hands and looked it over. "Oh, this will be a cinch."
"Give that to me," she demanded, her hand held out impatiently.
He shoved the paper into his pants. "If you want it, come and get it."
Taylor stood there dumbfounded. Had he really just stuck her list down his pants?
What the hell was she going to do now? Certainly she couldn’t put her hands down his pants and grab it could she? Serve him right if she did. Wonder if he’d be standing there looking so smug if she reached in and took her paper.
If she did she could find out just how big he was. Oh, the would girls enjoy that conversation.
“You seriously don’t want me to come and get it, do you?” She gave him one last chance to change his mind.
“Don’t I?” He turned and walked away.
Challenging her was a big mistake on his part.

Happy 4th of July!



Happy 4th of July to everyone!


This has been a crazy week of work but I love what’s happening and what I have to show for my time and trouble.

Yesterday I had the beautiful honor of having a lovely new friend and soul sister, Liz Crowe dedicate her latest steamy novel “Cheeky Blonde” to me! I was thrilled. I loved this novel and I can’t wait to talk a bit more about it and help her promote here on 7SS. Liz is a bold, fresh voice in women’s fiction and I love her take on no-holds-barred alpha males and so will you. Sean is dreamy.


“Something Wicked This Way Comes Volume 2” has continued to get good reviews and will be available in print from Ellora’s Cave Publishing July 11th.

http://www.jasminejade.com/p-10221-something-wicked-this-way-comes-volume-2.aspx

Amber Skyze and me are gearing up for the release of first book in our Bag Of Tricks book series for Loose Id Publishing. These are really amazing, big beautiful books that I am very proud of. I just got the cover for “The Strix” last night and I’m dying to share it but I have to wait, and it’s killing me. The man on the cover took my breath away, he’s “Tyr” the Dacian gladiator for sure.

We have a young German exchange student staying with us and I can't wait to introduce him to our 4th of July celebration. 

Have a safe wonderful holiday!

Two books on the coming soom list...

 It doesn't rain around me...it pours.


But this kind of downpour is just fine by me.  Two of my back list books from another publisher have been revised, refreshed, and submitted to Ellora's Cave, and will be released within the next month.  I am happy to say that they are greatly improved, from sexy new covers to a few plot changes.

My Sexy Sensei was previously published elsewhere under the title "A Brief Moment of Pleasure".  

For those of you who have read it under that title, thank you.  If you enjoyed it, again, thanks.  If you have never read it under either title, it will be released on July 27, 2012!  You can find the excerpt here:



This little gem was formerly titled "First and Ten".  It, too, has received a classy new cover, and has been revised considerably.  It is a "Quickie(R)" and is priced to sell!  

If you have enjoyed it under its prior title, thanks for buying!  If you have not yet enjoyed it, you can find it (in early August) at:


I am still waiting for first edits on my other full-length novel, titled Never Tempt Fate.  I hope to see them within the next few days.  

I am currently running a pre-release giveaway contest on my Facebook fan page just for my fans there, plus an open-to-everyone giveaway over at my website.  So if you are interested, drop in, and check them out!

Hugs!

Appreciating Help


I was searching for inspiration for my next book. By 'searching' I mean wracking my brain for a premise, or a character, or a setting, or a conflict; anything which would stir up my creative juices.

My thoughts were scattered.

The kernel of an idea started to take shape, but I was unsure.

I reached out to my critique partner/friend extraordinaire. She asked great questions, offered much needed insight and patiently listened as I worked through some of the details. Her suggestions, support and encouragement have again inspired me! My wip is now well on it's way, and my plan is to sub it by August 1st.

Have a great weekend!
