From the ashes of December and Austin’s storybook marriage, rises a new relationship. A relationship based on Austin’s determination to win his battle with addiction, December’s eternal love, and the unrelenting love and support of their best friend, Cord.

Secrets are exposed, hidden passions unleashed and tradition challenged, as three lost souls come together. Their path isn’t easy, nor certain, but the depth of their love will carry the day.

J.J. Lore's up for Hot Hunk Friday!


Rako’s Treasure Media Kit
Rako’s Treasure
By J. J. Lore
Evernight Publishing
19 April 2017

Tagline:
Can he find her before he’s banished to the cold of space?

Blurb:

Banished from his planet, Rako wanders the edges of known space looking for salvage, longing to find his mate. When he spots a weak signal from an ancient crash, he isn’t sure if the scavenge is worth the time and fuel. Opening up a smuggler’s hold on board, he finds a stasis pod with a beautiful woman inside and loses his heart.

Alyce was kidnapped by villains over a century ago, so when she’s awakened by a formidable male of a race she’s never seen before, it takes some adjustment.

Doing the right thing, Rako takes Alyce to a habited station, where she can begin to rebuild her interrupted life. But when descendants of the beings who originally captured her attack, Rako’s protective instincts emerge, along with the extreme body morphing of his kind. He wins the fight, but misplaces Alyce in the process. Will he be able to find her before he’s exiled back into the cold of space?

J. J. Lore Bio:

J. J. Lore has been interested in the dashing men who roam outer space since she was transfixed by Han Solo piloting the Millennium Falcon a long time ago in a theatre far, far away. Sadly, there is no way for her to join in the fun of intergalactic adventures unless she writes them, so that’s what she does whenever she isn’t taking care of the business of life. If you can’t find her typing madly on her sluggish keyboard, she’s probably poking around in a thrift store searching for the perfect pair of worn jeans or a vintage kachina bolo tie. These days she puts her anthropology degree to work when she whips up dishes from many different cultures, most of which benefit from a liberal dose of sriracha or a smear of green curry paste. Her favorite reading topics are costume history, epidemiology, and permaculture, all of which she’d like to work into a story if she’s suddenly overcome with a brilliant idea someday.

Nicola Cameron's Shifter Woods for Hump Wednesday!


SHIFTER WOODS: HOWL by NICOLA M. CAMERON


Hello, and thanks so much for having me on today! Shifter Woods: Howl is the first entry in my new paranormal shifter romance series Esposito County Shifters. Howl, which is the story of coyote shifter Laurie Rivera and her (very) unexpected mate Sheriff Caleb Lynch, was originally supposed to be submitted to an anthology. Real Life™ promptly intervened, as it does, and I blew the deadline. I decided to go ahead and expand the story past the antho guidelines and Howl surprised me by turning into a 23,000 word novella. Go figure. The second entry, Shifter Woods: Roar, which runs concurrently with Howl and follows the story of Laurie’s cameraman Gavin and bear shifter Mike Ivanov, will be out in mid-May.

Also, may I just say that I am SO glad I was finally able to use this particular male model on a cover? I’ve been faunching after him since Empress of Storms, and I finally got the right book for him – yay!

Paranormal Romance, Shifter Romance, MF
Word Count: 23,000
Series: Esposito County Shifters (Book One)
Heat Level 4

ASIN: B06ZZHS28T


BLURB:

Laurie wants a news story. Caleb just wants to be left alone. But when the two coyote shifters' paths cross in New Mexico’s Sandia Mountains, Fate steps in and gives them something they never expected--each other.

Reporter Laurie Rivera is on the trail of a white slavery ring when she’s forced to run for her life in the foothills near Sandia Crest. Widowed sheriff and Alpha coyote shifter Caleb Lynch comes across the exhausted reporter and discovers to his shock that Laurie is also a shifter—and his new heart’s mate.

But Caleb never expected to have another chance at love, and Laurie has a good reason to fear being claimed, especially by an Alpha. As a snowstorm traps them in the sheriff’s cabin, Caleb must find a way around the barriers surrounding Laurie’s heart, and Laurie has to confront her past—and the humans who want her dead—if she wants a chance at her very own “happily ever after.”

EXCERPT

Upstairs, Caleb stretched out in the big, comfortable bed, remembering how Paul Sleeping Turtle, Mike Ivanov and he had used some stout ropes and a lot of good-natured cursing to haul the mattress and box spring and over the loft railing. Anna had stood well out of the way downstairs, laughing at their language as they’d sweated and lugged the damn things upward. That night, however, she’d rewarded him in the newly installed bed, and Mike cheerfully baited him the next day about hearing the noise from a good mile away.

He’d never brought another woman to the cabin after Anna’s death, never even wanted to. But Laurie was different. He could smell her even up here, her essence rising with the heat from the fireplace and perfuming the loft with the smell of warm, sweet female in heat and in need of a good fucking.

He had no idea why Laurie had suddenly gone into heat while he was doing the dishes, but the change in her scent was unmistakable. Granted, sometimes an unmated Alpha could send a young, untried female into heat from simple proximity. But Laurie Rivera had to be in her early thirties, and if she was a virgin he’d eat his badge. The view he’d caught of her in the reflection of the kitchen window was of a female openly eyeing him and liking what she saw.

He grinned at the hand-hewn beams overhead. You know damn well what it means. She’s my mate, whether she likes it or not.

Which, ironically, was the problem. From what she’d told him, she was skittish as hell about the idea of being claimed. He couldn’t blame her, considering her experiences with her first Alpha. But it certainly messed up any chance he had with her, as well. And he didn’t have the luxury of taking his time and courting her, letting her get to know him over time. The moment the plows came through in the morning, Mike and this Gavin guy would be at the cabin to pick her up. After that, Laurie would be back in the city with her career and her life, never to return.

Albuquerque isn’t that far, though.

Oh, yeah? When was the last time you were there? The last time you had time to go there?

His subconscious—or his coyote, he wasn’t sure—had a point. He had to act tonight before he lost her. So, time to be sneaky.

He kicked off the blanket, bracing as the cool air hit his bare skin. He usually didn’t sleep naked during winter, but he wanted as much of his own aroma circulating as possible. He’d made a vow, yes, and he would keep it … unless Laurie gave him permission to break it. And the best way to make happen would be to tempt her upstairs with the scent of his desire and the promise of fulfilling her own.

Running a hand over his chest, he brushed the firm nub of a nipple and the crisp hair that led in a trail down to his groin. He followed it now, wrapping a hand around his soft cock and squeezing. It twitched at the stimulation; when he squeezed again, running his thumb over the upper ridge of the head, it began to thicken lazily.

He started a light, teasing stroke, not enough to get himself off but more than enough to get fully hard. Closing his eyes, he imagined Laurie climbing the stairs to the loft and his bed. The mattress would dip a bit as she climbed on it, moving on all fours to him. He knew she was the kind of female who, when her mind was made up, would stake her claim. There would be no fear, no anger, nothing but need and the deep knowledge that they belonged together.

He pictured her straddling his thighs, bending over to give him a deep, luscious kiss. Her breasts would swing forward and he could cup them, relishing the firm weight of them in each hand before he leaned up to take a nipple in his mouth. He already knew how the salt of her sweat and the sweet spice of her skin would taste, and how to rub the velvet flat of his tongue across the nub to make her gasp. He wanted to learn all the sounds she made in bed, the feminine moans and sighs that were music to a male’s ears.

His sweet female would be eager that first time, taking him in hand and guiding his straining cock between her legs. He groaned as he imagined the hot, wet squeeze of her sliding down around him, a perfect fit that would drive him out of his mind. She’d start riding him, her breasts jiggling with each rise and fall, and that perfect friction building between cock and cunt, all hot juices and slippery softness and his dick going deeper and deeper into her until he could feel the electricity rising, building at that sweet spot between balls and spine…

He pulled his hand away, half-enjoying the sparking, stuttering feeling of having his orgasm denied. Now he just had to wait.

Please, Laurie, I need you. Come to me.


BIO

Nicola Cameron is a married woman of a certain age who really likes writing about science fiction, fantasy, and sex. When not writing about those things, she likes to make Stuff™. And she may be rather fond of absinthe.

While possessing a healthy interest in sex since puberty, it wasn’t until 2012 that she decided to write about it. The skills picked up during her SF writing career transferred quite nicely to speculative romance. Her To Be Written work queue currently stands at around nineteen books, and her mojito-sodden Muse swans in from Bali every so often to add to the list, cackling to herself all the while.

Nicola plans to continue writing until she drops dead over her keyboard or makes enough money to buy a private island and hire Rory McCann as her personal trainer/masseur, whichever comes first.

Monday's Scintillating Interview!

Welcome to Craving Erotic Romance Blogspot.

Today we’re presenting Author: MICHELLE GRAHAM!
                                               
1) Have you always wanted to be an author? Yes! Pretty much from the time I could hold a pencil I was writing one story or another.
2) What genre(s) do you write? Erotic romance in a variety of combinations (MF, MM, FFM, MMF, MFM). Mostly contemporary, though I have a paranormal in the upcoming anthology.
3)  Have you ever self published? Nope. Too scary!
4) Who or what inspired you to write your first book? The first book that I got published came about after I began exploring the world of Erotic Romance (initially thanks to FSoG and Laurell K. Hamilton) and started getting all kinds of ideas.
5) How many hours in a day might you write? Not nearly as many as I’d like, unfortunately.
6) Are you a plotter or a pantser? I used to be a total pantser, though I’ve come to see the value in plotting. So now I’m somewhere in between.
7) Do you ever find yourself slipping away and becoming so immersed in your story it affects how you relate to others? My husband would say yes. I’ve learned to tune so much out when I’m writing and it drives him a bit nuts when he’s trying to talk to me.
8) Are you in any of your books? There’s a piece of me in most of my characters though none of them are totally me.
9) What do your friends and family have to say about you writing? Hubby enjoys the fringe benefits, lol. My other family know I write though I won’t tell them my pen name because I can’t imagine my mother picking up my books!
10) Please share an excerpt from your book that totally spoke to you when you put the words down on paper.
From: Losing It Two at a Time…


With a deadline looming, Carter knew he had to concentrate and finish his report, but he’d been staring at the screen for the last half hour and he hadn’t made any progress. His thoughts kept wandering back to the night he’d spent with Vivian and Alexa. And of course, his cock sprang to attention every time a fleeting image of them went through his mind. Which was often.

A ping on his phone had him scrambling to retrieve it from his pocket. It’d been two weeks and the girls had said they would know if their quest for conception had been successful. Carter hoped they’d text him either way and he’d been checking his phone constantly.

Heart racing, he looked at the phone. His shoulders slumped and he sighed. It was another email from Losing It. He’d gotten a few over the last couple weeks but he’d turned them down. As he looked over the latest offer, he wondered why he’d signed up for the site in the first place. At the time, it had seemed like an easy way to have a bit of fun without worrying about long-term relationships. Now, it didn’t seem that great at all.

Navigating to his account on the Losing It site, he tapped the delete button.

Are you sure you wish to remove your account from our system?

Was he sure?

He remembered falling asleep between two beautiful women. Their sweet kisses. Their talented tongues. Their whimpers and moans as he brought them to orgasm, over and over.

Carter tapped the yes button and his online profile disappeared.

The premise behind the Losing It series is that it’s sort of like online dating for people who are virgins or want to sleep with virgins. In the preceding scene, Carter deletes his profile from the site and I love it because it’s symbolic of his growing affection for the two women.


11) Which actor/character(s) would play the starring role? Alexa – Eva Langoria; Vivian – Julianne Hough; Carter – Stephen Amell

A little something extra! At a special price point.
