Hello CEWTNK Naughties!! We have a jammed packed day of goodies all about to unfold. I am so happy to welcome back Jennifer Probst. I absolutely adore her Steele Brother series. This is book 2, but if you missed book 1 which was Catch Me, you can take a look at my review here: http://closeencounterswiththenightkind.blogspot.com/2012/03/catch-me-guest-post-and-review-with.html I have a thing for huge Thor-like blonde Gods and the star of Catch Me fits that description to a tee!!! So Jennifer is going to be talking about women who kick butt and let me tell you Sloane so does! She is the main character in Play Me, to which I also have a review here: http://closeencounterswiththenightkind.blogspot.com/2012/05/review-play-me-by-jennifer-probst.html Take it away Jennifer:
First off, thank you so much for hosting me today on your
blog – it’s one of my all time favorites!
AWWWW...Thanks Jennifer :) I love having you on here!!!!!
Let’s talk about strong heroines.
I love reading about dominant, alpha males, but a story may
turn flat for me if the heroine is not up for the challenge. Give me a woman who butts heads with him,
makes demands of her own, and gets in his face when he growls or looks
intimidating. I like my heroines to make their own money, protect their
independence, and finally give this man the match of his dreams.
In Play Me,
Sloane Keller is one of those women. She makes her own money, has fame as the Queen of Cards, and is desperately in search of a man who can handle her.
She never backs down and makes Rome work hard for her final surrender. But ah,
when strength meets strength, the fireworks explode, and the ending is the most
satisfying.
Professional gambler Sloane Keller is tired of dating weak
willed men and longs to meet a man who challenges her dominant personality and
forces her to submit. As the Queen of Cards, she’s used to making her own
rules, and craves the excitement of Vegas. But her inner heart cries out for
someone who can be her match, both inside the casino and in the bedroom.
As the new dealer in town, Roman Steele is burnt out on
women looking for a quick penny and a man to follow. He craves a woman with
fire in her soul and a keen intellect who can challenge him. When his brother
recruits Madame Eve to help, Rome is amazed at the complicated woman he gets to
spend the night with. But when the evening is over, will she be gutsy enough to
offer him forever?
Here’s a quick excerpt to whet your appetite:
She raised her hand to her dealer, Wayne, for a short
pause then swiveled in her stool to face the man beside her.
“Were you ever going to introduce yourself?”
His bold appraisal stripped her naked and pumped her
with pleasure. An amused smile touched his carved lips. “Didn’t want to break
your concentration. Besides, it seems we have all night, Sloane Keller.”
She raised her brow. “Perhaps. And you are?”
He seemed even more pleased at her obstinacy. “Roman
Steele. You can call me Rome.”
He
looks like a Rome. She imagined him dressed in armor and chains, leading an army
of men with no thought to being disobeyed. Imagined him standing over the bed
of a naked woman, ready to enjoy his spoils.
As the only player at the table, Wayne waited
patiently for her to decide whether or not she wanted to continue. She upped
the stakes. “Do you play?”
“Of course.”
“What’s your pleasure?” She dropped her voice to a
husky drawl.
He bumped a hip against her chair. “Poker, of
course.”
She wondered how he’d handle her. Most men she met
either fawned like a groupie or treated her like shit. Since he was bought and
paid for, she figured she’d test him before she made her final decision. If she
didn’t like him, she’d demand her money back before they even hit the
elevators. “Funny, me too. But I like a good game of blackjack to relax.”
“Are you good?” She smiled slowly. “I’m the best.”
“Cocky, huh?”
“Confident.” She leaned forward. Her lips stopped
inches from his. The sizzling tension between them stretched in exquisite
agony. “Not that I mind a little−cockiness.” Her gaze lingered on his lips then
dropped slowly to the evident bulge in his pants. “As long as someone can back
it up.”
Smoke gray eyes heated and sharpened like lightning.
“Oh, I can back it up.”
“Care to play a hand with me?”
“Thought you’d never ask.”
A Little Bit about Jennifer:
She makes her home in Upstate New York with the whole crew.
Her sons, one 4 and one 6, keep her active, stressed, joyous, and sad her house
will never be truly clean.
Her publications with Red Sage include “Masquerade” Secrets
Volume 11, The Tantric Principle, and
Sex, Lies and Contracts. Her 1NightStand series include Catch Me and Play Me in
The Steele Brothers series with Decadent, and her #1 Barnes and Noble
bestseller, The Marriage Bargain, from Lori Wilde's Indulgence line at
Entangled. She has also written a children's book, Buffy and the Carrot,
co-written with her twelve year old niece, along with a short story about a
shelter dog, "A Life Worth Living." All of her books are available at
her website or Amazon.
Don’t forget - stalking is always encouraged. For
real.
