Karissa tried again. “I mean, why did you leave?”

Roland’s shoulders lifted and he spun around. He was obscured by the running water and the rippled shower door, but there was no hiding the fact that she’d been right about the state he was in—both his eyes and fangs, and his cock.

She sucked in a breath, forcing her chin up to keep herself from staring. Even distorted by the glass, she could tell he was impressive. Of course, she’d known that, having felt his erection pressing against both her belly and her ass on numerous occasions. And just the memories of those moments were enough to send heat pooling down between her thighs.

“If I let myself go, I’m going to bite you.”

Covert Desires by Sondrae Bennett (Guest Post)

Please give a warm welcome to romance author, Sondrae Bennett, who is joining us with her latest Alpine Woods Shifter book, Covert Desires! 

What makes a hero sexy? Is it his piercing eyes, corded muscles, and big…hands? Well, those things certainly don’t hurt. But, for me at least, there’s more to it. Sexy isn’t just a word for physical appeal, but encompasses all aspects of a hero’s personality. Does he listen to the heroine? Is he funny? Smart? Maybe he cooks dinner for his ailing grandmother every Saturday. What makes a hero sexy, or a heroine for that matter, is their heart.

Perfect Misfits by Lawna Mackie (Guest Post)

The Christmas Spirit and Writing Romance

I love Christmas and the happiness it brings to me at this special time of year. In fact, I love Christmas so much it tends to wind its way into the books I write. I’m sure everybody has a favorite time of year, or a certain season that is extra special to them, but for me it’s all about Christmas. I love decorations, Christmas trees, short bread cookies, eggnog, family, Christmas carols and all the television shows that come out in the month of December.

Writing romance and happy-ever-afters is what makes my heart sing. I like to write paranormal romances, fantasy romances, historical romance…well you probably get the point, basically anything as long as it’s romance.

Lexi's Thoughts:

Too Dangerous to Desire is one of those historical romances that takes you on a ride. You are pulled into the story immediately, feel the rush of adrenaline as the hero and heroine get each other out of some scrapes, and in the end you are left with a love story that threatens to melt your heart. How can you not root for this pair of young lovers who get a second chance?

Why We Cheat and How We Get Away With It
(An Author’s Confession)
by Stephanie Draven

I’ll admit it. I’m a cheater. It’s not that I don’t want to commit to my first love, but for some reason, I find myself having flings and ongoing affairs of the heart. So it’s time to come clean and talk about just how it is that I started down the road to unfaithfulness.

My first steady relationship started a few years ago with historical fiction, my first love. Historical fiction’s maturity and insight attracted me straight away. And historical fiction really valued my brainy side and never let me get away with sloppy thinking or language that was less than ladylike. I have to admit, I was more than a little turned on by the discipline. But something inside me just wasn’t satisfied.
