Wounded Warrior Blog Hop!

With this blog, we are requesting at least 30 comments and I'm donating $30 to the Wounded Warrior project. For each comment beyond 30, I will continue to donate an extra $1 for each comment so please spread the word!

So, I'm going to post a tidbit about my upcoming series called Cowboy Dreamin'. The first book is called simply Joel.

I'm working on this currently and it's going along swimmingly! Joel and Mesa are an interesting couple already. He's your typical alpha cowboy and she's a romance writer who gets stuck running out of gas in the middle of nowhere near Bandera Texas.

Here is an unedited excerpt to wet your whistle.

Water ran in rivulets down the windshield. Lightning continued to flash and thunder rolled over the area. She sucked in a large breath as she bit her lip. What the hell do I do now?

A moment later she heard a tap, tap, tap on her window. She jumped and screamed as a face appeared near her door. Green eyes with long lashes stared back beneath a black cowboy hat. Black hair ruffled slightly with the wind.

"Ma'am? Are you all right?"

"I'm fine."

"You need to get this car out of the water. You'll be washed away. It's rising fast."

"I can't. I'm out of gas."

"Open the door."

"Hell no. Do I look crazy to you?"

"Trust me. If I were a serial killer, I wouldn't be out in this shit trying to find women to abduct. I'm going to help you, but you need to get out of the car before we're both swept away."

Mesa bit her lip. What the hell was she supposed to do now?

"Ma'am?"

"All right." She eased open the door to find the water almost to the bottom. The cowboy pulled the door the rest of the way as she grabbed her purse.

"We have to hurry," he said, taking her hand as he helped her from the car. "Let me help you. This water is rushing pretty fast."

A red horse stood patiently several feet away with its head down, riding out the storm the only way horses knew how. A cowboy on a real horse out here in the middle of nowhere? Surely, it's safe. I mean serial killers don't ride horses, right? 

So everyone who comments on the blog will receive a copy of Love Me Once, Love Me Twice (Montana Cowboys 1). Please leave your email address and I'll send you the book via email but you must leave a comment.

Joel (Cowboy Dreamin' 1) is scheduled for release Spring of 2013!

Sex Scene Saturday with Beau, Brandon and Emma from Two For The Price Of One (Montana Cowboys 3)

A soft moan escaped her lips as she tipped her head to the side and back onto Brandon's shoulder, giving him better access to her neck. The moment the top eased off her breasts and exposed her taut nipples to the cool air, they bunched tight. Beau licked the tip of the right one, making her whole body tremble.

"Nice," Beau whispered, before sucking the tip into his mouth.

Her knees wobbled, and one of the twins' arms went around her waist to steady her, although she couldn't have said whose if her life depended on it. Blood rushed in her ears, and she could have sworn that at the very moment Beau sucked on her nipple, the tip of her breast and her clit were somehow connected. The tingling and throbbing she felt exploded into heart-thumping, pulsating need as cream spilled out of her pussy, wetting the silky thong between her thighs. "Please."

"Tell us what you want, honey," Brandon murmured against her neck.

"Suck harder, Beau."

"My pleasure, darlin'."

The pull of his mouth on her nipple and the nip of Brandon's teeth on her earlobe had her body screaming to move, but she couldn't decide which direction to go to get more stimulation.

"Please. I need…" Beau's mouth left her breast, and she groaned in frustration. "No, don't stop."

His lips nibbled at the corners of her mouth right before his tongue slid inside to tangle with hers. Brandon did his own exploration of her spine, shoulders, arms and waist as he reached around, unsnapped her jeans, and lowered the zipper. Cool air hit her skin as the pants and panties pooled at her ankles, and Brandon nudged her to step out by lifting her foot and removing one boot at a time. The moment she stood completely bare from the waist down, Brandon's hands crawled up the insides of her calves as his lips danced over the flesh of her butt, nipping softly at each cheek.

Beau lifted his head and growled, "Damn, woman. You burn me up with those lips, but we need to get the rest of this off." He lifted the tank top over her head and tossed it aside. "Now where were we?"

"On the bed, honey," Brandon instructed, walking her backward until her knees hit the mattress.

Her breath caught in her throat as she watched both Beau and Brandon do a little striptease for her. Each had a smattering of hair trailing from one nipple to the other across a broad chest and then in a sexy path down until it disappeared into the waistband of his jeans. The bulge each sported threatened to rip the seams apart. Hot damn!

"You like what you see, darlin'?"

"Oh, hell yeah," she whispered, capturing her bottom lip between her teeth. "More, please."

Beau unbuttoned his jeans and slowly drew the zipper down as her heart rate seemed to triple with each inch of his cock revealed. Long and thick, with deep veins running from base to head, the sight of it made her mouth water to taste the pearly essence of his desire clinging to the top. When the denim fell to the floor, she took a ragged breath, glancing at Brandon to see how far he'd undressed before looking back at Beau.

"You keep lookin' at me like that, and I won't be able to wait," Beau said, his eyes blazing with passion and need.

She licked her suddenly dry lips. "Like what?"

"With those big blue eyes and come-kiss-me lips. I want to lick you all over."

"Then do it cowboy," she murmured, holding out her hand and waiting for him to take it before drawing him down on top of her.

Moments later, Brandon crawled onto the bed beside them. The warmth of his skin heated every spot it touched. With his left leg tossed over hers, he effectively spread her thighs open for whatever came next, and what came next was Beau's feathery touch on the insides of her legs. Goosebumps followed the light skimming of his fingers from ankle to thigh, but he avoided the places she needed him most. Her thighs quivered and her pussy throbbed, waiting for him to touch it. She almost screamed when he avoided her pussy in favor of running his fingers over her stomach.

"You have magnificent tits, honey. Nice rosy nipples just begging for attention," Brandon whispered, running his lips over her shoulder.

She cupped both breasts and lifted them in invitation—to which man, she didn't care. "I want your tongue, both of you." A purr escaped her lips when first Brandon and then Beau each took a nipple into his mouth and sucked. "Yes." Beau flicked her right nipple with the tip of his tongue, bringing a tortured moan to her lips as Brandon encircled the left. "So good."

Beau released her breast and blew a cool stream of air over the nipple, humming his appreciation when the peak stiffened and beaded into a hard point.

Unable to stop the emotions and desires flooding her body, she begged for more with soft whimpers and tortured groans until she felt one of the twins nudge her thighs apart.

"Ah, God!" she screamed as the first lick touched her pussy. Her back arched when a wet mouth closed over a nipple and pulled it deep into the warm cavern. The wicked tongue between her pussy lips flicked, swirled, and speared, changing the pace so she couldn't zero in on any one thing to drive her over the edge of climax. Sensations swamped her, bombarding her from every direction. Soft nips of teeth on one nipple, the pinch of fingers on the opposite one, and the warm flick of the torturous tongue built the desire inside her to a fever pitch. Her body wasn't her own. They controlled the craving, spiraling want until she quivered uncontrollably. The tingling started in her toes, rushing up her legs to center low in her belly.

"Please," she begged. "I need—"

"We know what you need, honey," Brandon whispered against her lips, leaving the cooling wet spot on her nipple open to the sensations of his chest hair sliding across the tip.

"She's so sweet, Brandon. Wait until you taste this," Beau said from between her thighs. "I could eat her all day."

I hope you enjoyed the scene. Leave me a comment and be in the drawing for your choice of my back list. I'll chose a winner on Sunday morning.

Sex Scene Saturday - Jake, Colby and Delaney from Difficult Choices (Montana Cowboys 4)

"I bought handcuffs and nylon rope the other day, anticipating doing this," Jake replied, pulling out the toys from the adult store he'd found.

"Nice."

"You're going to stick that huge thing in my ass," Delaney asked, her eyes wide with wonder and a little fear as Colby laid her on the bed. "Is it going to hurt?"

"A little at first, babe, but you'll love it by the time we're through. There's nothing like the feeling of being so full there." The packaging came apart in his hands as he withdrew the cone-shaped plug. He squirted lube on it, rubbing it around a bit as her worried expression grew.

She chewed her bottom lip with her teeth, nodded, and rolled onto her stomach. "Okay, but go slowly."

The moment her perfect ass rose to meet the smack of his palm against it, he almost lost his rigid control on his own desire. "Spread her cheeks, Colby."

Staring at her puckered hole, Jake groaned and closed his eyes for a second. To bury his cock there would be a dream come true. Not today. Today Colby would be there in her virgin hole. His time would come…soon. He spread some of the cold liquid around her anus, working it into the tissues until he could slip one finger inside her. The last thing he would ever do was hurt this woman, either physically or emotionally.

"It feels weird."

"Weird?"

"Good, but strange." She pushed her butt back toward him. "I need more, Jake, please."

He pushed two fingers past the ring of muscles and she groaned her pleasure as he scissored them, working them in to spread her more. "Ready for the plug?"

Her breathing hitched as she held it for a moment before she nodded. After he removed his fingers, he pressed the lubricated plug's nose through. Delaney hissed and cried out, "Burns."

"I know, baby," Colby said, kneading the muscles of her stiff shoulders with his hands. "Relax. It will be easier."

"I'm trying."

"Easy, darlin'," Jake whispered, slowly pushing the plug past the resistance until it was fully seated inside her. "Better?"

"God, it feels incredible. I'm stretched beyond belief. I have this full feeling," she murmured, rolling over onto her back.

"Give me your wrists." When she complied, Colby wrapped the fur-lined cuffs on and stuck the Velcro sides together. "Lift your arms up toward the top of the bed." Colby threaded the small chain through the slats in the headboard, snapping it to each cuff.

She pulled slightly against the restraints and shot Jake a worried look.

"Too tight?"

"No, but…"

"You'll be fine. I'm not going to tie your ankles unless you don't keep your legs open." Jake spread her thighs and wiggled into position between them to lick at her pussy. "Nice." The smell of her arousal sent tingles down his spine. The glistening wetness on her pussy told him the whole scenario turned her on to screaming proportions. With a slow lick from slit to clit, her hips rose as a moan escaped her lips.

"Harder, Jake."

"Mmm. Mine to play with. You lie back and enjoy."

"God please," she begged, pulling at the restraints and trying to close her legs.

He reached up to smack the inside of her thigh lightly. "Leave them open. I'm not done yet."

"Don't tease me, Jake. I need this."

The decision to not prolong her desire came with Colby's lubricated fingers against his asshole. They all needed this so badly, he knew denying their pleasure this time wouldn't be wise. "Fuck my ass, Colby." The moment the hard, broad tip of Colby's cock slowly penetrated Jake's ass, Jake sucked Delaney's clit between his lips and flicked the tip with his tongue.

"Oh God, oh God, oh God!"

Cum flooded his mouth as Delaney's pussy quivered against his lips and her whimpers of ecstasy reached his ears.

Colby pounded against his ass as each hard thrust pushed Jake's tongue into Delaney's pussy. The tongue fucking prolonged her climax until she whimpered in another growing orgasm.

For one lucky commenter, I'll give away a choice of my backlist. Please leave a comment and your email and while you're at it, check out the links to the others participating in Sex Scene Saturday!

Nancy Miller (Ethan's wife from When We Meet Again)

1. Are you upset your name is not in the title?

Well, since you asked....yes, I am. Instead of beingcalled When We Meet Again, it should have been called How To Hurt Your WifeAgain...and Again...and Again.

2. Why do you hate Brynn Saunders?

Because that selfish girl would do anything to havemy husband. I've been living in her shadow since day one when I met Ethan. Hecompared me to her. He didn't make it so obvious but I knew. I saw the longstares off into nowhere and I knew he was thinking of her.

3. Do you have a love interest or are you forced tobe alone?

No, I do not *wipes nose with a Kleenex* I am beingforced to be alone. I mean *cries* who's going to want me? A middle-aged woman with two children. ((Yells))See what you have done to me you little tramp. Now I'm a washed up menopausalmother with no one to love me.

4. Do you have any annoying habits your author didnot share with us in your book?

No! I am the victim in all this. There is nothing wrongwith me!

5. Did you get the revenge you wanted?

Revenge? Why Heavens no. Not that I haven't thoughtabout it mind you. But what good would it do.

6. Are you happy with theprofession your author chose for you and why?

Profession? I don't have a profession. I was a happystay-at-home mother until that Jezebel came along. Now I have to work.((harrumph)) Now I have to actually work.

7. Would you like to be taller, blonder, thinner orsmarter than you have been portrayed?

Why? *looks down at her body* Is there something wrong with me? Doesn't myplain appearance, frumpiness and graying hair appeal to you? Plus, why would Iwant to look like Brynn. The perfect one. All blonde, the perfect voluptuousfigure.

8. Are you planning to make an appearance in asequel?

Sequel? Why in the Hell would I put myself throughthat torture. Goodness no! I don't think my delicate psyche could handle beingbetrayed and tossed aside like trash again.

9. Now for a personal question. Did you get any sexin the book? Was it enough or would you have liked more?

Maybe if I had gotten a little I would be back for asequel. More? I don't know about that. I am what most would consider a prude. Imean, sex was great in the beginning of mine and Ethan's relationship but astime goes on, sex becomes less and less important. I am quite content beingsex-free.

10. Didyou get to kiss the hero/heroine?

Only when I had to. I mean, we were married afterall. The only time I do recall actually kissing him was when we had sex thatnight after I conceived our firstborn. Then it was downhill after that.

11. Didyou kill anyone? Did you want to?

Oh my! No, I most certainly did not! Not to say thatthe thought hadn't crossed my mind a time or two.

12. Didyou spread any nasty rumors?

Of course I did. But the damn author chose not tobroadcast that. I did a mighty fine job too. I can't even get credit for itthough. Not in written word.

13. Didyou lie?

Lie? Who? Me? Well, I guess if you consider... No. Idid not. That is not my personality to take advantage of someone. *smugly looksaway*

14. Howmany re-writes did you have to live through?

Oh, the torture! More times than I care to remember.Like I really wanted to relive thosescenes more than once.

15. Didyour author listen to you when you tried to redirect her/him?

Absolutely not! I tried to get the author to see mypoint of view but it was fruitless. I mean, why did I have to be hurt in allthis. I wanted a happily ever after ending. I guess Ethan and Brynn got one butI didn't. So not fair! *crosses arms and pouts*

16. Didyou get enough time in the story or do you feel shortchanged?

Enough time? Even katydids have a longer life spanthan I had getting my time in this book. I swear! The time I was allotted waspathetic!

17. Doyou want your story to become a series with you as a recurring character?

I would love to have revenge... I mean, I would lovethe opportunity to have a story with my point of view and what I had gonethrough. Seems so one-sided.

18. Didyou fight much with your author or did you two see eye-to-eye?

Her? She had a one track mind. Get Ethan and Brynntogether and forget the rest of the world. It's always about Brynn and what shewants and screw everyone who gets in her way.

A PDF copy of When We Meet Again is being given away- justleave a comment for your chance to win with a valid email address. Contestwinner will be announced Monday, May 7. Good luck!

Sex Scene Saturday ~ Corey and Marissa

http://store.secretcravingspublishing.com/index.php?main_page=book_info&cPath=28&products_id=316

Cool air wafted across her breasts as the buttons down the front of her blouse released one by one under his fingers. The moment the front gaped open, he pushed it over her shoulders. He released the clasp on the front of her bra so her breasts now hung free.

"I want your skin against mine."

Next, she felt his fingers at the waistband of her pants, flicking the button free. Her pants and underwear pooled around her boots. She quickly toed them off and kicked off her clothing.

"God, you're gorgeous. Your skin is like silk."

A soft whimper escaped her mouth when he nipped at the flesh over her collarbone, and then soothed away the sting with his tongue.

"I need you to do something."

"What?" she asked, drawing a fortifying breath to steady her shattering resolve.

"Tighten this binder around me."

He slowly kissed his way down her chest, stopping to flick her nipple with his tongue for a moment before continuing down her abdomen, until he sat on the edge of the bed. He quickly struggled out of his shirt so she could help him with the binding. He couldn't make love tonight or anytime over the next couple of weeks, so she felt safe enough standing in all her nakedness. She quickly stripped off the elastic binder as he groaned in pain. "You probably should take a pain pill."

"I will in a bit. There's something I need to do first," he said as she retightened it around his chest.

"Better?"

"Yes."

Seconds later, she squealed when he tumbled her flat out across the bed. "What are you doing?"

"Takin' care of you." He kissed his way across her chest, stopping to lick and nip at her nipples. The warmth of his mouth slid down her stomach until he knelt on the floor at the foot of the bed. His callused roughened palms slipped under her to pull her so her butt sat right on the edge. "Much better."

He spread her thighs with his massive shoulders, leaving her open and vulnerable to his stare. "Corey, I…"

"Sshh."

The first nip on her right inner thigh made her yelp before a moan escaped her lips. Hot breath fanning over her pussy had her attempting to pull her legs together. But the man was determined. The first brush of his tongue on the outer lips of her pussy drew her head back as she arched into his touch. "Ahhh…"

"Nice, but I think you can do better, darlin'."

His wicked tongue danced over her outer pussy lips before he took a long, slow lick from slit to clit. "God, you taste amazing."

Valentine's Day Blog Hop!

Good morning!

Today starts the Valentine's Day Blog Hop and you'll need to comment on this thread to be eligible to win.

I'm not much of one for Valentine's Day. My hubby doesn't do a lot and neither do I. It's just kind of another day. When you've got a new relationship you tend to do more, I think anyway. I guess you should never let that die, but life gets in the way and next thing you know, the day has come and gone.

Some days I wish my husband was more romantic. He does okay most of the time. We go out to dinner by ourselves usually once a week or so, but he's not the kind to bring me flowers for no reason or things like that. Too bad really. I love flowers.

So a question - What is the most romantic thing your significant other has done for you or you've had done for you in the past?

Sandy

It's blog hop time! Yep, it's my turn to put up a post for Secret Cravings Publishing 1 year anniversary blog hop tour. We all know I write about cowboys. Gotta love 'em. Anyway, my blog is about a rodeo I went to and let me tell you, it was a very exciting and insightful experience. Let me tell you.

A lot of you may not know this, but the one I went to was technically my first real, sit down and watch, rodeo. I've seen tons on television, but I haven't been to a live one to simply watch the events. The whole experience was amazing.

The smell of livestock permeated the air. Dust clung to the seats, and floor. And the cowboys? All I can say is WOW!

I don't think I've seen that many cowboy butts in tight Wranglers, cowboy hats, dusty boots and sexy men in my life in one place. Well, maybe in Vegas during NFR (National Finals Rodeo). Vegas comes alive with cowboys during the huge event every December.

Anyway, the rodeo the other night started with a game for the kids. They came out of the woodwork to do what they called, "Gold Rush." I'm not really sure what it entailed except for a pile of hay on the ground and dozens of kids scrambling for the proverbial needle in the haystack.

Then came the main events and of course, they held the bull riding to the end. The whole time I watched, I was mesmerized by the way the cowboys sat in the saddle—their concentration never broken by the crowd around them. Calf roping or bull dogging had to be one of my favorite events. Unfortunately, for my concentration, I now have a calf roping cowboy sitting on the edge of my desk, tapping his spur against the side, waiting for me to write his story. By the way, he already has a name. Corey Middleton and he's twenty-six, dark-haired, dark-eyed, nice chest, six-pack abs… um where was I?

I did enjoy the bull riding though, too. I just didn't get a close up look at the event since we sat too far away. Next time, I'm gonna be on the rail. I had a serious temptation to ask a couple of those cowboys to unbutton their shirt, let it hang and give me a sexy look while I took their picture. Alas, my twenty-year-old daughter, refused to let me.

I did learn about a new event for the ladies other than barrel riding. Breakaway calf roping is one of the newer events. The ladies have to rope the calf, just like the men do, but when the rope goes taut, it breaks away from the saddle, thus the name. I had to look it up and I'm sure one of my heroines will be using it. *cheeky grin*

Well, that's it for my blog post. I am giving away something special for one lucky commentee to my blog post. Not only will your name be in the running for the Kindle Fire, but one person will be drawn to receive...............

One month subscription to the Cravings Club. If you don't know what that is, it's a new ebook club with Secret Cravings Publishing. You can find out more at http://store.secretcravingspublishing.com/index.php?main_page=page&id=10. It's a $10 value and if you decide not to continue the club after your free month, all you have to do is cancel.
