Feel Sexy

TEN  things to do/buy/wear for sagging self-images and to make you feel sexy:

1. Buy fancy lingerie...and wear whatever you buy! Don't keep these items hidden in a drawer. Wear them everyday to confirm that "I am sexy" feeling!

2. Buy dresses, top, sweaters, that cling to show off your curves...lower cuts show off your cleavage! Stand tall and strut your stuff!

3. Wear high-heeled shoes to give you that long-legged look to capture a man's attention as your hips wiggle with your confident, feminine walk.

                                                     
 4.Hair styles. Treat yourself to a session at a hair salon. Try a new look; maybe wear your hair long, presenting that "Hollywood" celebrity sexy look, creating a alluring image.

5. Use make-up. Emphasize your best facial feature...perhaps your eyes or full lips.

 6. Polish your nails. Toenails, too, can make you feel feminine.

7. Use sweet, wonderful smelling perfumes. Find a scent that you like and mixes well with your body temperature to give off that wonderful aroma a man will recognize as yours.

8.  Use satin sheets. That wonderful feeling of satin running along your skin will tingle and spark your sensitive areas.

9. Get all dressed up and have some professional photos taken.

10. Love yourself, believe that you're sexy and attractive, light candles, sprinkle rose petals on those satin sheets, and tease or flirt outrageously with the man of your dreams! Your ultimate goal: a passionately satisfying rendezvous/relationship that affirms your sexual charisma.

Sometimes women in romance books question their sexual attractiveness. In "Gone to the Dogs" by Marianne Stephens, Katie had been dumped by her ex-boyfriend, and that was a blow to her sexual confidence level. In "Anything You Can Do", also by Marianne Stephens, Allison had been betrayed by a man she thought she loved, and never made to feel sexually attractive. Both women gained strength in their new relationships with men whose passion flamed their own desires. Ultimately, they found true love.

Santa's Sexy Helper Brings You a "GIFT"!

photo: rockshots.com

Nothing serious this month. Just another fun blog with a Santa's Sexy Helper!

Whew! What a HARD time Santa's helper is having this year while trying to bring a special "GIFT" to all good ladies! This poor guy is so-o-o tired, he just had to settle down for a short nap. Lucky thing he found some grass clippings to keep him warm...plus, he's got on his Santa hat!

He worked very hard all year to buff up in time for the holiday season. Santa gave him a list of all the good ladies to visit and deliver his special "GIFT".

Are you on his list? I know he's not done bringing joy and fantasy happiness to all those listed, so maybe he hasn't made it to your door yet. If you've been good, then you know he'll be coming...and coming...and coming.

Those abs promise lots of hard muscle to run your fingers over. And those arms look strong enough to warm you on a cold night. Now those thighs...and what's hidden under the grass...hint at some mighty powerful action when stirred and focused on your pleasure.

How about a story of a Santa's helper who tries to visit all good ladies in one night? I wonder how many he could share his passion with and still have more to go around to others. Maybe he could take the month of December and get to a few thousand everyday. Surely there are that many being good who deserve his "GIFT"!

Wake up, Santa's helper! It's time to hit the road and bring a smile to the faces of all good ladies everywhere who are waiting for your "GIFT"!

Happy Holidays!

Santa's Sexy Delivery Guy

photo: rockshots.com

This month I'll feature fun blogs with sexy guys! Nothing serious as I want us all to enjoy the season!

I asked Santa for a wreath, and look what he sent! Don't you just love the doves and that great big red ribbon??

Oh, yeah. The sexy delivery guy came with the wreath, but I decided not to hang him on my front door, too. I just KNOW I'll find some use for him, given enough time and experimentation to find out what good qualities he has!

Meanwhile, he'll help me decorate my house while wearing his Santa hat. Gotta have something on so he doesn't get cold.

Wearing just that wreath and hat makes me leery of letting him go outside. Now, you can't see it but he is wearing socks and shoes, so his feet stay warm. I've upped the temperature in my house to keep it...and him...toasty warm! Can't have a chilly guy around when I'm looking for heated embraces!

Here's another idea for a story. Every year, a woman asks Santa for a gift and it's always delivered by a sexy helper she gets to keep for a year. Wouldn't that be amazing if it actually happened? Just imagine how you could ask every year for something, get older, but have your delivery guys stay young and sexy?

Contact Santa today and start this year with your annual gift...and sexy guy!

What to Do With Triplet Sexy Hunks!

photo rockshots.com

My blogs this month will all be fun ones and feature hunks.

Work with me on this one. Fantasize that these are Christmas triplet hunks that I got as a present.

Hmm. What could they do for me? They look strong enough to do any heavy lifting I need done. Cheerful enough to keep me in a good mood. Just the right amount of clothing to catch my attention...you did notice the Santa hat and jingle bells hanging down their legs, right? How about the socks?

Or, did you just concentrate on the cute, red undies?

Maybe I could have one clean my house, one cook for me, and one... You get the idea. Being triplets, wouldn't they all give me the same satisfying service? Think about the fun I'll have, rotating them and their jobs.

But, who do I start with first? Sigh. Decisions, decisions.

I've never written a book about triplets, but these guys are giving me LOTS of ideas! Think about the women...or woman...they could satisfy.

Three at once. Could you handle that? Wanna try? If so, ask Santa for your own set of triplets. I think I'll keep these three!

REVIEWER TOP PICK: "SEXY GAMES"

Shamelessly patting myself on the back for this! "Sexy Games", erotic romance by April Ash, got a great review!

Happy Dancing here...sincere but not very pretty at my "old age" and lack of rhythm. (Envision a Maxine - Barney the purple dinosaur combination!)

I'm posting my 5 HEARTS, REVIEWER TOP PICK review of "Sexy Games" by Diana Coyle, Night Owl Romance:

"I thought this was a fantastic story from the start. I loved the creative storyline and enjoyed that Sloane and Stacy were going to “work” together for one whole week. I hoped that even though they were using the games as the excuse for their spending time together, that they would open up to each other and see where they really stood with one another. I thought Stacy was perfect for Sloane and I only wished that he would eventually see that himself. Ms. Ash is a very talented storyteller and she knows how to transport you into her storyline with ease. Well done, Ms. Ash!"

BLURB:
Naughty Games Company Invitation: Test new games. Consenting adults. Male-female. Company penthouse. One week. Associates of NGC only.

Invitee employee Stacy Newman accepts. Betrayed by a past ex-fiancé, her goal is to concentrate on her career, sell a game idea to NGC, and open her own store.
Invitee Sloane Hoffman, son of NGC’s CEO, accepts. He knows his dad wants him to take over the company. He’s been hurt and used by past lovers only after his money and what he could do for them.
Months earlier, they shared a night of passion but a panicked Sloane left without a word when Stacy inspired thoughts of “commitment” and “settling down”. His disappearance left her heartsick.
As game partners they’ll test games that require role-playing and sex. Undeniable lust and mutual desire quickly resurfaces, and they agree to a business-only venture. They choose games called “Hot Sands” (sheik and bride-to-be), “Teach Me” (nerdy professor and stripper/lap dancer) and “Royal Romps” (Lady and butler).
Spending time together offers chances to learn more about each other, fall in love, and share passionate sexual adventures. But, two misunderstandings occur, threatening to pull them apart once again, this time forever.

As the season of Thanksgiving draws near, I'm extremely grateful for this review. Reviews mean so much to authors...they're validations of hard work and effort.

COSTUMES, HALLOWEEN, & WIN A KINDLE CONTEST

Before I begin, I'd like to promo a new Ellora's Cave release, "Dancing with Danger", for a friend, Desiree Holt. http://www.jasminejade.com/p-7559-dancing-with-danger.aspx
Rachel Windsor knew nothing about Gabriel Peralta except that he was walking sex appeal. He blew into her life without notice, here today then always gone on a puff of wind. But each time he appears, he does things to her body that even her fantasies haven’t conjured up, driving her to orgasms that shake her like a raging storm. His mouth knows every inch of her body. The imprint of his intimate kisses linger long after he disappears.
Now he's back again, his life unexpectedly on the line. But even in the danger zone, his sexual demands are more scorching than ever and this time, Rachel is determined not to lose him-or the erotic lifestyle that binds them.
************************************************************************************
I love Halloween. Always have. Always will. Maybe I like the tradition of children dressing up in costumes and seeing their bright faces as they ask for treats. Or, maybe I like Halloween because it gives me an excuse to buy loads of chocolate that I can eat after all the kids...

I digress. Let's forget I ever mentioned chocolate!

Wanting to be someone else is everyone's fantasy. Kids can do that easily by donning their favorite costume. Adults have a more difficult time as dressing up and fantasizing is something not done often...at least not in public!

In my latest book, "Sexy Games", my heroine, Stacy, and hero, Sloane, get to wear costumes AND role-play as they test new adult games...a sexual fantasy come true for lots of lovers! Sloane and Stacy act out a scene from "Hot Sands"...an adventure with an Arabian sheik and his reluctant bride-to-be. Next is their night of passion as they become a nerdy college professor getting lessons from a stripper/lap dancer aimed to please in "Teach Me". And their final acting roles in "The Lady and Her Butler" have them breaching social barriers as the butler teaches a hot-to-trot lady the lusty ways of love.

All their scenes involve costumes to add flavor and credence to their adventures in passion. Setting the ambiance of their surroundings helps create that fantasy world Stacy and Sloane crave and lead them to fulfill their lusty passion.

Ever wear costumes...other than for a Halloween party? Maybe for some naughty role-playing game with the one you love? If not, do you fantasize about it?
