Sinfully Summer by Aimee Duffy (Guest Post)

Today I would like to give a warm welcome to author, Aimee Duffy, joining us with her contemporary romance - Sinfully Summer!


A Day in the Life of an Heiress…

Due to the way Sinfully Summer kicks off (with my heroine running around an exclusive Spanish hotel in her underwear), everyone keeps asking me if I have any similarities to my heroine, or whether I have done all of the crazy things she does during the book. My answer each time?

No comment.

THE REBOUND PACT by Eliza Knight (Guest Post/Giveaway)

It's finally the weekend my friends - woot! And what better way to start it off then with some Naked Cake? Yep, you read that right! Please welcome the lovely Eliza Knight joining us with this fun recipe along with her new book The Rebound Pact. Enjoy!


Naked Cake
By Eliza Knight

I am certainly a lover of cake. But it has to be a certain type – and naked is nice. I like my cake to be a moist, somewhat dense, succulent, melt in your mouth, adventure. But I don’t eat dairy. Or eggs. This can make cake eating rather sad. When I decided to write a book about a vegetarian chef—THE REBOUND PACT—I had to explore the various recipes she might create. What a fun, and filling, experience!  As luck would have it, Gabrielle helped me to overcome my lack of cake (darn her!)

About the Book
Matthias Murray Thomas is many things: a freedom fighter, the heir to a sprawling estate, a soldier and a rogue—but her is certainly less than a gentleman. Which is why when he finds the delectably sassy redhead, Caroline Munro, in his bed (posing as a his heretofore non-existent fiancé), he poses as the mysterious (and sometimes dead) butler, Haversham, determined to ferret out the truth. 
Caroline Munro is trying to hold together her war-torn family. But with a heavily pregnant sister, a feisty niece and nephew, and a brother, father, and brother-in-law who are currently M.I.A., her options are…unsavory, to say the least. So she poses as the wife to be of Matthias Murray Thomas—all the while endeavoring to spy on the redcoats who’ve taken residence in Loblolly Manor…with the help of the redoubtable “Thomas Haversham.” But as the threat level from the British escalates, so does the connection—and the heat level—between Caroline and Matthias. With war raging all around them and a serious case of mistaken identities, will their love be able to grow?

Trust In Me by Dee Tenorio (Guest Post/Giveaway)

Today I would like to give a warm welcome author, Dee Tenorio, joining us with her upcoming Rancho Del Cielo release - Trust In Me!


When The Story Chooses You

There is the common misapprehension in the world that artists, of which writers are a sub-category, are either able to wave a magic wand to achieve what they do without effort or time or that they are utter slaves to their muses. The truth, not surprisingly, is somewhere in the middle.

Artists do what they do by taking time and effort. By using a meticulousness, focus and precision of which not many people are capable to render something from their minds into reality. And don't forget those awesome artists who render ideas from other people's minds. (Now there's a challenge!)

Alyssa Turner, POLISHED (Spotlight/Giveaway)

Today we would like to share with you a recent release from Alyssa Turner, Polished! Learn more about the book below, see all about the characters and read an excerpt. Enjoy!




Title: Polished
Author: Alyssa Turner
Publisher: Etopia Press
Release: May 24, 2013
Novel genre: MMF contemporary romance
Buy Link: Amazon
Blurb:
It seemed like they had everything, but they didn’t have Jack.
Without question Spencer Hartley burns hot for his girlfriend, Rory, but his other desires are hidden down deep. He might blow things up for a living and climb mountains for kicks, but the scariest thing in his life is the truth about his sexuality.
Jack Rothman works hard and plays dirty. After long, demanding days in his family’s engineering firm, he indulges in the pleasures of silk restraints and fine wine. Lots of hot meaningless sex helps him forget that he’s suffocating, with no one to give him a reason to breathe.
When a catastrophic accident traps Spencer in a flooded subway tunnel with Jack, they need each other to survive. But something strong stirs down there in the darkness, and it’s more than their desperation to live. There’s a spark between them that’s impossible to ignore.
Rory Campbell would love to give Spencer the one thing he doesn’t have, the freedom to explore his secret desires. But how does that fit into her picture-perfect relationship? When Jack invites the couple to his sprawling Hamptons beach house, Rory realizes that she has secret desires of her own—the kind only Jack’s Dominant hand across her bare bottom can satisfy…

This is a Friday blog hop with the objective to find and visit other book blogs that share the same interest as you, namely books geared towards the 18 & over crowd, and make some new friends!


How to join in:

  • You should run a book blog that features and reviews mostly adult reads, some Y.A.’s are okay but 18 & over adult reads should be your majority.
  • Make a separate post for the 18 & Over Book Blogger Follow on your blog.
  • Copy the html for the button above and place it at the top of your post.

    Question of the Week: Judging a book by it's cover. We've all done it. But have you ever judged a book wrongly based on it's cover? What book have you loved that based on the cover, wouldn't have normally picked up? What book have you read, based on the cover alone, that disappointed you?
