Lust’s Temptation by Tawny Taylor

The second book in Tawny Taylor’s popular Masters of Sin series is available now in ebook formats.

Troi and Amun—one dominant, the other submissive, both alpha—are possessed by the spirit of Lust. Its dark demands have tested their will every minute of every day for centuries. And they’ve committed deviant, selfish acts to satisfy its unrelenting carnal hunger. But the guilt doesn’t overwhelm them until they meet Oriel. She is their salvation, their peace. They need her. But they don’t deserve her.

Life’s lessons have taught Oriel not to trust anyone, especially gorgeous men who will use anyone for their own satisfaction. Granted, they’re sexy. Charming. Her body responds to their every look and touch. But she can’t—won’t—take a chance on them. Until she realizes she can run away, but she can’t escape from the emotions they stir.

As darkness closes in, Troi and Amun’s lives, and souls, hang in the balance. The beast will consume them if Oriel can’t accept her own dark needs and trust the two men who have stirred the decadent desires within her.

Note: This book contains same-gender sex, group sex, and various and sundry other deliciously wicked acts, committed by two very naughty boys.

I’m headed off this afternoon for my semi-semi-semi-annual (okay, I don’t know if that’s right, but we do it every couple of months or so) lunch with Kate Pearce. We can dish about writing, books, agents, boys, fictional boys in our books. Ya know, important, official writerly stuff.

It’s the perfect time since we both have books releasing next month. I have my “Between Lovers” novella in the Sexy Beast 9 anthology, and she has her first pararnormal historical, Kiss of the Rose, coming out. I critiqued it and it is awesome. Plus, did you see the cover love her publisher gave her? Gorgeous! And just right for the book, which is even better!

They’ve been testing the fire and earthquake drills in the library for the last 20 minutes. Which basically means they have the alarms blaring, and then they change the sound to something different and equally obnoxious.

They can’t do this after hours? I need to stab my eardrums just for the peace and quiet. Really, how am I supposed to prep for my meetings this afternoon? Gaaaaaaah!

Truly Scrumptious by R.G. Alexander

Scrumptious as a cherry peach parfait…or a sinfully kinky foursome.

Available now at MBAM!
The popular cooking show, Brunch with Laura, is T.S. Larkin’s brainchild. Rather, it was. Because her boss couldn’t keep it in his pants, Truly’s unemployed and not sure what to do with herself. When a juicy tip leads her to the best-kept secret in Denver—three mouthwatering chefs whose restaurant image needs a makeover—her PR instincts start tingling. And her imagination simmers with private fantasies.

Ever since the last woman he, Clay and Louis shared nearly ruined everything, Nate has worked hard to get things back in order. Truly’s ideas could rescue their business, but her non-stop curves, luscious lips and cherry-on-top hair are a sure-fire recipe for another disaster.

But when the ingredients are right, the reaction is inevitable. A kiss in the walk-in explodes into a wild night of indulging Truly’s every sweet and spicy whim. She is the missing ingredient for the perfect foursome. Except Nate is suddenly not so sure he’s willing to let the others lick the spoon, much less share.

Warning: Explicit sex, bisexual ménage, delicious recipes, sexy chefs who like to share. Threesomes, foursomes, kinky food tastings, excessive use of shower toys and chocolate… Hungry yet?

R.G. has a contest going on over at the Smutketeers. Go check it out!

I’m redecorating my living room, which is actually the final leg of a whole apartment overhaul that started back in February. Yesterday, I bought the new furniture that will replace my current hand-me-down hell pieces. It was much crazier than I thought it was going to be. I had the perfect combination of couch and chair picked out. Everything was going swimmingly, and then disaster struck.

This was the couch. See how it’s all bold and awesome and red? Loved. It.

And I picked the upholstery for the chair to go with it. See how nicely they coordinate? Woot!

Then, the sales lady says the couch style I want is no longer available. I was way not-happy, but the search continued for quite some time until we found something that could work and be delivered in time for the Mad Madam M to sleep on it when she visits in a couple weeks.

Here’s the final winner in the Great Sofa Smackdown. Beige, which is meh, but neutral isn’t such a bad thing. I guess. On the plus side? It’s so freaking comfy I wanted to sit on it forever. And I will, apparently, because it’s mine now.

Then I went all Goldilocks on the chair.

This one was too hard (despite its cushy appearance).

This one’s arms were too high, the seat was too long, and I felt like a little kid in grandpa’s chair when I sat in it.

This one was just right. Comfy, good arm height, not too long for my legs. Perfect. Except that fabric is atrocious.

Luckily, the original fabric I chose with the red couch was available for that chair design, and since the neutral beige couch meant I could get any chair color I wanted…well…sold!

Yes, I abandoned the blog for the weekend and took a little day trip down the California coast to meet up with someone. We had a great time, watched fireworks explode over the ocean, hung out in this cute little beach town.

Ah, bliss.

I hope you all had a lovely Independence Day!

So, this was the last night of RT, we were all exhausted, and so it sounded good at the time to sing “Do You Take It” by The Wet Spots. The travel writer who was there–Rolf Potts–pulled out his camera.

This is not work or child-safe. Also, we are not going to be contenders on American Idol any time soon. You’ve been warned.

I just found out that On The Prowl is going to have a Thai edition. How cool is that? This is my first foreign sale! Woot!
