JUST DESSERTS: A Collection of Bite-Sized Delights – Author Reveal #8

JUST DESSERTS: A Collection of Bite-Sized Delights presented by SecretHungers.com

Just Desserts is a buffet of deliciously naughty stories. These delights are as diverse as the authors who write them. It is my pleasure to reveal two of the more than twenty contributing authors to Just Desserts-debut, new, multi-published, award-winning and bestselling authors. ENJOY TODAY’S SPECIAL!

Today, we feature two multi-published authors. Take a moment to get to know them.

Blind Taste Test by Anne Lange

A stand-alone erotic short story.

Contemporary Erotic Romance, Menage

#eroticromance, #ménage, #contemporary, #olderwoman, #youngermen, #blindfold, #foodplay, #roommates, #setup, #romantic

An erotic romance author who needs to inject more realism into her sex scenes finds herself in the middle of a blind taste test in which she’s the dish for a double helping of dessert.

Get to know Anne

Shoes are her addiction, but books are her passion. Anne reads many genres of romance, but prefers to write sexy stories with a side of those sinful pleasures your mom never told you about. Oh, and always a happily ever after.

While embarking on this wild journey of becoming a romance author, Anne juggles a full time job and a family. Not always successfully, though. Who needs a clean house every day? And what’s wrong with cereal for dinner?

Anne lives in Ontario, Canada with her wonderfully supportive husband, three normally awesome kids, a chocolate lab who loves to cuddle, and a bearded dragon who loves carrots.

This sexiest food is:

I think chocolate dipped strawberries is very sexy. Sweet, sinful, messy if you want it to be. And fun.

Five things you’d be surprised to know about me:

I’m shy.
I have 9 tattoos.
I’m very organized at work. Not so much at home.
I knit, sew, quilt (hand and machine), crochet. Or I did, and then I started writing.
I have an orange belt in karate. I’d be much further but I quit when I got pregnant.

The sexiest place in the world is:

Hedonism Resort in Jamaica. Been there – it’s AWESOME.

Sinfully Sweet by Emma Nichols

Stand-alone Erotic Short-Story from the Sweet Series

Erotic Romance

#fonduefun, #seduction, #onesexynight, #proposal, #eloping, #sinfully sweet

As specialty caterers, Grace and her sisters are used to unusual requests in exotic venues. When a mystery client hires them to create not just a meal for two, but an entire experience designed for seduction in an upscale hotel, she thinks nothing of it. Then she discovers the client is her long time crush, Lucas, and the sinfully sweet night he has planned is all for her. Can she shed her all-business persona and give in to a night of pleasure?

Get to know Emma

What made her decide to be an erotica author? Simple. How else was she going to parlay her two favorite pastimes into a career?

Emma is single and loving it. Like her first character, Alysin, Sin for short, she doesn’t believe in settling or in settling down. She loves to indulge in her passions whenever the mood strikes and enjoys keeping all of life’s cliché moments spicy.

Known for her sense of humor, Emma surrounds herself with friends whose antics often become the source of book fodder. Her ideal situation would be to explore the Caribbean while writing. She pursues that dream daily.

The sexiest food is:

Chocolate, a supposed aphrodisiac, is definitely the sexiest food. It’s incredibly versatile, comes in so many forms (whipped cream, syrup, fondue…) It’s fun to play with, delicious, and could inspire me to eat almost anything it covers.

Five things you’d be surprised to know about me:

1. I may live in the south, but it hasn’t rubbed off on me in the least.
2. In The Good Girl, I reference a list of the Top 50 Sexual Bucket List, and I’ve done over 40 of them.
3. I would love to live in the Caribbean or on a boat. Better still, a boat in the Caribbean.
4. I’m older than I seem. No, I won’t divulge my age.
5. I grew up in the country and loved it.

Sexiest place on earth is:

I once stayed in the Roman Towers Suite at Caesar’s Pocono Palace in the Poconos. It’s an incredible room with a fireplace, pool, sauna, massage table, champagne glass jetted tub, steam shower for two, and mirrored round bed. Breakfast was delivered to our room and served in bed. The gift shop was also much like sex shop. I was in heaven. Why have I not written a story about this yet?!

Mid Week Tease -Perfect Timing- a snippet from Desire Unexpected

Posted on March 25, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Welcome to hump day my friends. Thank you to the fabulous, Sandra Bunino for bringing us together.

I’ve turned in my first set of edits. 😀 We are getting real close now to having a release date! Desire Unexpected, Assassins and Sweethearts book 1 is almost here. Last week I shared a bit more from Nadia and Ethan’s first conversation. This Week I skipped to a new scene. Ethan is meeting with three acquaintances. Ethan is trying to concentrate on the business at hand and not Nadia. 🙂 Enjoy!

______________

Aidan, quiet as ever, slid into the last open chair at the table.

If Nadia thought he was like a ghost, he wondered what she’d think of Aidan. He gripped his thigh and hoped the waiter would hurry it up with their drink order.

“Perfect timing, it seems to be another gang up on Max meeting. Change the subject please.”

The waiter sat down a round of drinks. Two fingers of whisky for Gavin and pints for Aidan and Max. He’d always favored gin and tonic. He knew what he liked and had stuck with it.

“Didn’t that happen the last time you asked Ethan about his dating life?”

“It did.” Max turned to him. “What’s up with that? Are you taking the Windthrop job?”

“You’re sleeping with Janet Windthrop?”

“I am not.” Ethan pushed up his sleeves. “You three are worse than a bunch of teenage girls.”

“So, you’re not sleeping with her or you’re not taking the job?”

“I’m taking the job only. Janet’s been through enough. The job is about liberating her from impending death, not taking advantage, besides she’s not my type.” Nadia’s deep blue eyes flashed through his thoughts. She was his type. Shit. He needed to fire her. He also needed to change the subject before anyone got suspicious. “Gavin, are you ready for your job next week?”

“We do have a lot to discuss tonight. So, I’ll let the abrupt change of subject slide.”

Ethan slammed the rest of his drink and forced his expression straight while Gavin watched him, the burn of the gin giving him enough of a distraction.

Blurb:

Life is passing Nadia Duskin by from her position in the mailroom. It only fulfills two necessities, keeping the repo man away and keeping her up to date on her sexy CEO. Ethan Wright is prepared to frighten and fire the nosey girl who sorts his company’s mail. After engaging with her at one of his favorite places in the world, he digs deeper.

Together, they find the kind of pleasure that could keep them satisfied for a lifetime. Her love may be the key to putting both of their lives back on track, but to what end? When a man he’s been contracted to kill threatens Nadia’s life, he forces her to face reality. Either they’ll delve deeper into the desires neither expected or they may die trying.

Be Warned: spanking, light BDSM, public exhibition

Spotlight: Resisting the Alpha by Jessica Coulter Smith

Posted on March 24, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

BLURB

Bridget Donohue is beyond furious with the meddling alpha of the local wolf pack. He not only crashed her wedding, but scared the groom away. And for what? It isn’t like he’s ready to man up and claim her.

Disgruntled by his attraction, Micah Smythe feels the pull but isn’t willing to bite. Bridget is irrational, mouthy, and temperamental. So why does his body respond every time she’s near? He’s declared her off limits, but the more time he spends with her, the harder it is to keep his hands to himself.

Passion ignites between them, but Bridget refuses to give in to the wolf’s game of seduction. She’s determined to resist the alpha at all costs.

Excerpt:

Bridget tossed back another shot of whiskey, the amber liquid burning its way down her throat to warm her belly. It was her fifth one. Maybe. Truth be told, she’d lost count. Drinking wouldn’t solve her problems, but it sure did feel nice. She slammed the glass down on the bar top and motioned for the bartender to bring her another.

“You sure you want to do that?” Max asked.

Bridget eyed the sexy incubus and pursed her lips. “I wouldn’t ask for another one if I wasn’t sure I wanted it.”

“All right, but if you fall off that barstool, I’m not picking you up. Your ass can stay on the sticky floor.”

She snorted and motioned for him to hurry up and pour the drink. When he went to move away, she snatched the bottle out of his hand. Max just shook his head and moved on to his next customer. She watched him with a hungry gaze. If it weren’t for that whole soul-sucking thing, she might take him for a ride. Her bed was going to be damn lonely tonight. She’d gone home to change out of her wedding dress and found her fiancé’s half of the closet empty. Rat bastard hadn’t even left a note. He’d just bolted.

What a wimp, letting the likes of Micah Smythe get to him. Maybe the alpha had a point. She needed a man with a backbone, someone who would go toe-to-toe with her and not cower when she raised her voice, which she did rather frequently. She’d been told more than once she should try out a shifter, but they were always looking for their mates. That’s the last thing she wanted … that type of commitment literally meant forever. Shifters lived a damn long time, and once they bit their mates, their women would live just as long.

Bridget enjoyed life as much as the next person, but she wasn’t sure she wanted to spend several hundred years hanging around. Wouldn’t it get boring after a while? There was only so much travelling you could do, and only so many sights to see.

Someone settled on the stool next to her and she turned to look at her best friend. They couldn’t be more opposite, but somehow it worked for them. While Bridget was loud and never backed down from a fight, Josette was soft-spoken and calm in any given situation. Even when her pack attacked her, she handled it with grace. Of course, she never fought back, which Bridget just didn’t understand. No way would she ever be anyone’s punching bag.

“I don’t think the answer is in the bottom of that bottle,” Josette said as she flagged down Max.

The bartender approached with an easy smile for the young wolf, and Bridget wondered if there might be something there. It wasn’t the first time Max had lit up when Josette was around. And he definitely acted differently around her. He always turned on the charm with the ladies, true––but with Josette he spoke softly and was a little too sweet. Bridget wasn’t sure how that whole soul-sucking thing would work out between them, but obviously romance was in the air.

Too bad it wasn’t her romance. No, a certain obnoxious wolf had wrecked that for her.

“I’ll have my usual,” Josette told Max.

“One mudslide coming up, beautiful.” He winked and began gathering the ingredients.

Josette smiled at him before turning to Bridget. “Have you talked to Paul since he ran out of the church? If you could call that a run … I never realized someone’s arms could flap so much. For a minute there, I thought he would take flight.”

Bridget snickered. “Maybe he’s secretly a were-chicken. He damn near laid an egg when Micah growled at him.”

“The Alpha does have that effect on people.” Josette pursed her lips. “But then, that’s because they don’t really know him. There isn’t a sweeter man around.”

Bridget slid a glance toward Max. “I don’t know. There might be one.”

Josette stiffened. “Are you thinking of moving on so soon?”

“I wasn’t talking about for me.” Bridget rolled her eyes. “Don’t you know that man only has eyes for you? I swear he wears his heart on his sleeve every time you walk through the door.”

SatSpanks -A Complication- a snippet from Desire Unexpected

Posted on March 21, 2015 by S.J. Maylee

Hello! Happy Saturday Spankings! 🙂 I received my cover since last weekend. My gorgeous new cover is below and I’m working my way through edits too. I can’t wait to share Desire Unexpected with you. Last Week: I shared from Nadia’s first conversation with her boss, Ethan. On Wednesday, I shared a bit more.

This Week: I skipped past the rest of their conversation to give you the first few sentences from Ethan’s POV. Enjoy!

Ethan climbed into his car and rested his head against the seat. With his eyes closed, he brought her back into focus. Nadia Duskin was full of surprises. He’d intended to scare her, possibly fire her. He hadn’t anticipated the desire in her striking blue eyes or her obvious knowledge about the America Windows.

He adjusted his cock. He hadn’t anticipated wanting her either. She was a complication he didn’t need.
