The Decision

Just released! The Decision.

 

Dace Reynolds was conned by a beautiful woman and longs for retribution. Spying Sophie Price

again, he confronts her, only the woman isn't his personal nightmare, but her sister, Stephanie. Trading on Stephanie’s obvious attraction to him, Dace decides to seduce her and use her until she leads him to Sophie. Despite Stephanie’s best efforts to resist him, she gives into Dace’s overwhelming appeal, believing he isn’t the cold man he portrays. She will take the physical relationship and settle for Sophie’s leavings once again while longing for more. Dace retreats in the face of Stephanie's honesty and strives to create a relationship with her based on something more than physical attraction. He is intensely sexual but denies himself until they can embark on an exploration of both their emotional and sexual needs. Can Dace let go of his thirst for revenge? Can Stephanie stand up to her sister for the first time ever to secure the man of her dreams?

Hunk Friday - A Smorgasbord

By the end of the week I'm pretty much done like toast. My friend sent me an email to help me relax my shoulders and stretch out the stress. I have no idea who these guys are but found it didn't matter--it was the most pleasant neck exercise I've ever done and want to share it with you.

Simple instructions: View and repeat. As many times as you find helpful. Stop when it hurts...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

MEMOIRS OF LADY MONTROSE

This is the beginning of my erotic piece, (15K words) due out in the 'At Your Service' anthology with Total-e-Bound. It will be released as a single in in July. You can pre-order the anthology from 29th April  (next week!) or pre-order my single on 17th June. I will leave your imagination to build on the last sentence in this excerpt and hope it lifts you over your Wednesday hump. Cheers Virginnia.

MEMOIRS OF LADY MONTROSE
“Good evening Mrs. Brown” someone murmured at her shoulder.
Helen’s stomach lurched. Her heart leapt in her chest and pounded at speed.  Fear fizzed down her spine and turned her stomach over.  Only a small group of people knew her as Mrs. Brown and those people would not mix with, or be known to the present company. The cream of London’s society eddied around her, dressed to impress for their night at the Albert Hall. The interval afforded an opportunity to be seen and husbands attended with no interest in the musical recitals of Mozart and Chopin, let alone Beethoven’s Pastoral pieces.
She turned around, her gaze searching the moving crowd. Three men walked away through the theatre patrons, one younger than the others.  From the rear he looked well built with wide shoulders, dressed in formal attire and walking with a slight swagger. The voice she heard had sounded young. Could it be him? Even if she could see his face she wouldn’t recognise him. 
When in the persona of  ‘Mrs Brown’ she always requested a blindfold.  If she had enjoyed his company, she wouldn’t know.

Hunk Friday-Vikings!

And no, I don't mean the professional American football team. I mean the History channel show that I just started to watch, The Vikings. It's full of lots of dirty, uncouth, brawny, men striding around plotting and whacking people with hand axes. Whew!
Star of the show; Ragnar Lothbrok played by Aussie model/actor Travis Fimmel:

(I don't own copyright to these so will of course remove it if asked)

He looks much better as a fighting Northman than he ever did as a Calvin Klein underwear model if you ask me. Except when he's got the crazy bloodlust look in his eye;

(please don't hurt me)

And then there is his brother Rollo, played by Clive Standen;

(okay, I'm thinking a gentle spanking might be in order)



He's moody and broody and built.  Probably a little smelly but you can't have everything.

Actually all of the Lothbroks are pretty attractive, like his wife Lagertha played by Katheryn Winnick:

She's pretty tough stuff too. You have to be to take on a fight like this one.

(Lots of blood on the beach in short order)

So if you don't mind grime and blood spatter, give the Vikings a try on the History Channel.

Sex and candy

 “Forget love. I’d rather fall in chocolate.” or so the saying goes. Why not have both? At the same time?

 

Chocolate has long been touted as an aphrodisiac and this is likely because it contains two chemicals: Trypotphan and phenylethylamine. Trypotphan is related to serotonin, the happy hormone and phenylethylamine is an amphetamine-like stimulant that is released when we feel aroused.

 

However, beyond the scientific claims, chocolate is just yummy- and it has multiple possibilities for all sorts of applications. Sharing, for one.

 

Many things taste good dipped or coated in chocolate. Or butterscotch, (another favorite of mine). Don't think I have to spell this out for you! And the exercise that follows can burn off any guilty calories too!

 

So get creative and choose your favorite: milk chocolate, semi-sweet, dark, white, bitter-sweet, and enjoy, knowing it’s all good for you! (Most things are, in moderation, although I’m not really good at practising moderation with chocolate.)

TGIF Hunk- Tarkan

Recently a wonderful friend introduced me to this hot singer. She lived in Turkey and even hinted that he might have been a muse for one of her characters. After seeing his photo, I couldn't stop from finding out more about him. 

Tarkan Tevetoğlu, simply known as Tarkan, is a World Music award winning Turkish pop singer. He was born in Alzey, West Germany, and raised in Turkey. Tarkan has been known for the use of romantic themes in his work and has been nicknamed the "Prince of Pop" by the media. Tarkan's effect on Turkey has been compared by The Washington Post as analogous to Elvis in America.

Tarkan is hot but I love his longer hair better than his short hair and those eyes are compelling. Even though I can't understand what he's singing about, the romance is clear in his body and movements. Who wouldn't want to be in this guy's arms?

But I will let you see for yourself. What do you think? Is he a new hottie or what?

A P0EM TO MAKE YOU SMILE THROUGH WEDNESDAY

I borrowed this from a friend, I hope you enjoy it., Cheers Virginnia

LOVE SONG

  Is it love or lust? does it really matter?
  I see you and feel my resolve melt and scatter
Strong loving arms and marathon kisses,
  hands entwined, we share dreams and wishes
I breath your scent, my head on your shoulder
  your hands caress me, bolder and bolder
  I’m the essence of earth with your arms wrapped around,
  your eyes speak to me without making a sound
   
Hold me, hug me, kiss me my love
In your arms hold me tight - just for tonight.
