Ten Reasons Fall is a Great Time for Romance

If you're lucky enough to be in a spot where the seasons change,
I hope you're enjoying some Fall weather. Do you have any reasons to add to this list? I'd love to hear from you!
Ten Reasons Fall is a Great Time for Romance

1. Nights are longer. Yep, the cover of darkness is a great way to start some wicked fun with each other. Even better: add some candlelight.
2. Cooler weather means snuggling to keep warm. Whether it’s in front of a fire, cuddling under a quilt, or body-to-body heat, a person’s gotta keep warm by whatever means they can.
3. Cinnamon is a terrific aphrodisiac and, conveniently, it’s an ingredient in lots of fall dishes like pumpkin pie and pumpkin latte. Hey…cinnamon flavored, edible lotion anyone?
4. The bugs are gone. You and your honey can have a romantic picnic in the park without the added protein of ants, flies and bees.
5. The heat and humidity are gone, and now you can and your significant other can go for a nice, long romantic walk. Bonus: holding hands will keep you warm on the inside and out.
6. Football! You don’t have to be a “football widow.” Learn the game—it’s actually really fun and you get to watch muscular guys in tight pants.
7. Colorful leaves are not only gorgeous to look at, you’ll have a blast jumping into a pile of them, too. Careful of sticks! And be sure to “help” each other clean out the leaves that slip under your shirt or inside your jeans.
8. Flannel. Need I say more? Feels so good against bare skin. Flannel sheets, men’s flannel shirts…
9. Fire. Fall is the time of year to huddle close together in front of the fireplace with a crackling fire, a glass of apple cider, mulled wine or how about pumpkin beer?
10. More clothes. Yes…I know. This sounds very un-romantic, doesn’t it? Nope! Think of it this way: each layer is part of the slow strip tease that will drive your partner wild in anticipation.

Here's hoping you grab your honey and keep warm while you enjoy the change of seasons!

What Do Women Want? Strippers and BDSM?

What do women these days want? Well, besides a live-in maid and chef.

If we go by recent movie ticket sales and book sales, I think it’s pretty clear. Fifty Shades of Grey tops bestseller book lists, and women are flocking to see the movie Magic Mike three or four different times. I have one friend who has seen it five times and wants to see it again next weekend.

What would our grandmothers say about this blatant lusting for hot men and kinky sex? I don’t know about your grandmother, but mine would probably say “it’s about time women feel comfortable enough to be honest about what they want.”

When it comes down to it, I think women want to be romanced. Doesn’t it feel good to know a man is thinking about you when you’re not with him? Even if he’s thinking about you while buying zip ties and furry handcuffs. Sometimes flowers might fit the bill, but maybe handcuffs are worth a try…something different, something to spice up the marriage that has turned into more of a “buddies who watch TV together” relationship than a husband-wife-deeply-in-love one.

Isn’t it fun to flirt with a man and have him flirt back? Good-looking male strippers can rev our motors and have us heading back home for some “quality together” time with our significant other. A book about BDSM might be fun to read about, but maybe we’re not into the act itself. Yet, chances are we’re feeling a little friskier than usual after finishing the last page.

Romance is fun. Sex is fun. Reading about it, and watching it on the big screen is a great escape. It doesn’t mean we want to be spanked, or to spend every night at a strip club, but it does mean we like to have fun and we want our men thinking about us, making us a priority. And if they’re lucky, it’ll put us in the mood for some hankie pankie, too.

Kisses, Sex, and a Shot of Liquor #SixSunday

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

In this snippet from my latest release BIRTHDAY THREESOME, Tracy starts to shed her insecurities about her body thanks to her boyfriend, who loves her as she is. A shot of liquor helps loosen her up.

  

Eric crossed the room and stood behind Tracy, then slid his hands around her waist. Her skin instantly warmed at his touch. “You’re beautiful, you know?”

   She rolled her eyes, still not completely comfortable with his compliments. “Oh fine, fine. Flattery will get you a bigger shot of liquor.”

Is it Time for the Kids to Go Back to School Yet? Please!!

Me...on the first day of school!

   I love my kids. Really, I do. But I'm beginning to think that summer vacation should only last two months, not three. There comes a point when "together" time becomes "getting on each others' nerves" time.
   And I just found out I'm not alone.
   I walk with three other moms a few times a week, and, with guilty looks, they all admitted they can't wait for the school year to start.
   At first, the change in our summer routine is great. No lunches to pack. Don't have to be up at the butt crack of dawn. But then the dishes pile up, we can't run the vacuum because the kids are sleeping late, and when we wake up--first cup of coffee still full in our hands--and walk into a room that looks more like a frat house than our nice, organized family room, we want to run away from home.
   But instead of running away for real, I run away to my office and to my computer. After listening to some Christmas music (I have a Christmas novella coming out in December), I spend a few hours with my characters in a snowy mountain cabin. Ahhhh. Much better.
   More kids. More mess, and I pull out my Kindle. Ahhh, much better again. Time to escape by reading a book. Let me head into a world of vampires, magic, and romance, and I forget what was bugging me. Kids? What kids? Mess? What mess? LOL!
   Is that where the term "summer reading" came from? People who wanted to run away, but couldn't, so ran away in their minds?
   Yep. That's the beauty of books. A trip without the hassle of checking your luggage.

Here's hoping you have a reading-filled, peaceful summer!

Ten Things To Take To The Beach With You This Summer

When you’re on vacation, your mind needs to take a break, and you shouldn’t have to think too hard. So I’m here to help you. I’ve made a list for all of your beach-bound lovelies to be sure you’re equipped for a good time.

Ten things to take to the beach with you:

1. Sunscreen. Gotta keep that UV radiation off your skin.
2. Lawn Chair. Low to the ground so you can dig your toes in the soft, warm sand.
3. Bathing Suit. (Unless of course you’re going someplace waaaay more interesting than I’m going this year.)
4. Towel. Makes for a good pillow or after-swim blotter.
5. Books. Especially hot ones. After all, there’s a nice ocean breeze, so it’s okay to heat things up.
6. More Books.
7. Even More Books.
8. eReader. But just in case the battery dies, or the sun glare prevents you from reading, refer to #5, 6, and 7.
9. A bookmark. In case you decide to take a nap. Because you’re working hard and you deserve a nap.
10. A nice, frozen drink. Preferably delivered by a hot guy in a small bathing suit. Or a loosely wrapped towel that you happen to “knock” off. J

Here’s hoping you have a wonderful vacation this summer. Give yourself the present of relaxation. You, and everyone around you, will benefit. Thanks very much for stopping by today. xxoo

 
And be sure to heat things up by reading my latest release, BIRTHDAY THREESOME, available now and TRIPLE HEAT, also available now.

Getting Up the Nerve For a Threesome #SixSunday

Welcome to Six Sentence Sunday: Where writers share six sentences from their published or unpublished books.

In this scene, Tracy is getting ready to open the door to the woman who will be joining them for a good time.

   Eric grinned and Tracy cupped his face in both of her palms. “You’re gonna have a good time, baby.” She kissed him and turned to peek out the peep hole. A cute blonde stood outside. “Damn, she’s hot.”

  Bumping Eric to the side with her hip before he could peek, she turned the knob and opened the door.
