Welcome to CEWTNK Romance Lovers!!! A great big thank you to Nat@ Reading Romance for putting another awesome giveaway together!!  Thanks Nat!! Romance novels will always hold a special place in my heart.  The first romance novel I ever read was entitled Windswept Passion.  I was 11 years old and my mother had no idea that I had broken into her stash...LOL.  I was hooked from that moment on....
Cathelen was young, innocent and totally unprepared for the flood of overwhelming need that the tall arrogant pirate aroused. He came into her life, swept her into an endless wave of ecstasy and left with the morning tide. And though the lovely blonde beauty was bound to another, she was possessed by an uncontrollable passion that could not be denied. Unknowingly, he had unleashed the fires of her heart-and only he could satisfy her desire...

Adam was wild, worldly and totally unprepared for the insatiable need that the tempting vixen aroused. Her honey-sweet lips beckoned him, her sparkling violet eyes seduced him and her soft silken flesh promised him a night of reckless love. But one night would never be enough, one caress would only be the start-one kiss would forever spark the flames of a lifetime of raging Windswept Passion.

I still have this book to this very day!!  I then moved on to the late but totally amazing author Kathleen E. Woodiwiss' The Wolf and the Dove:
The Wolf
Noble Aislinn grieves as the Iron Wolf and his minions storm through her beloved Darkenwald. And she burns with malice for the handsome Norman savage who would enslave her. . .even as she aches to know the rapture of the conqueror's kiss.
The Dove
For the first time ever, mighty Wulfgar has been vanquished—and by a bold and beautiful princess of Saxon blood. He must have the chaste, sensuous enchantress who is sworn to his destruction. And he will risk life itself to nurture with tender passion a glorious union born in the blistering heat of hatred and war.

And of course I feel in love again with Johanna Lindsey's Warrior's Woman and this was the first series to steal my heart :) :
Resilient beauty Tedra has devoted her life to the art of combat, and no one has ever been able to pierce through her rigid armor of single-minded purpose. When political upheaval forces her to flee her homeland Tedra finds, to her dismay, that her only hope of survival lies in the arms of Challen, a fierce and powerful soldier.

Romance books have given me such joy, and a lifetime of hope for my own happily ever after.  As you see from my blog I love ALL types of Romance from erotic to paranormal to historical and all the in-betweens.  For my giveaway, I am offering a 10 Amazon card so that you may purchase your personal have-to-have romance.  Just fill out the rafflecopter and be sure and answer this question in the comments section:  I have shared with you the books that began my love of Romance novels.  What was yours?  Good Luck and be sure to visit these other great blogs!!

First Kiss Giveaway with Author Cari Quinn



It's all about the kisses!!  Today I have with me author Cari Quinn and she is going to talk to us about her newest release and share with us the characters first kiss.  Stay tuned afterwards for a chance to win your choice of one of her sweet, sexy, and sassy novels!  Take it away Cari!!

The Sweetest Kiss

Thanks so much to Nikki for having me here! And to thank all of YOU for reading, I'll give away any of my ebooks (winner's choice) to a random commenter who tells us how they like to kissshort, sweet, long, hard, wetpick your adjectives and share your kissing style. No shame in our game here!

Just yesterday my latest erotic contemporary romance, Heart Signs, released from Ellora's Cave. Here's the blurb and buy link if you're interested (there's an excerpt on the site too):


The heart has a language all its own

Rory Fowler has taken Sam Millers billboard orders for the last two years, but they arent to advertise, theyre love notes to his wife. Sams most recent billboard about his wifes passing hits Rory hard. When she calls Sam to offer condolences, it sets off an unexpected chain of events that ends with Rory in Sams apartmentand his arms.

Reading Sams love letters tugs Rory into the romance between him and his estranged, now-deceased, wife. Their lives soon intertwine so completely that Rory wonders how shell ever forget the man who makes poetry out of emotions shes fought to dismiss. And plays her body even more skillfully than he writes love notes.

Consumed by guilt and grief, Sam is shocked by the feelings Rory arouses in him, sexually and otherwise. Now hes not thinking about yesterday as much as hes looking forward to tomorrow. Hes just not sure if hes capable of moving onor if the woman who helped him find the will to really live again will be by his side.


Since we're talking all about kisses today, I thought I'd share a snippet from the scene where Rory and Sam share their first kiss. They meet through odd circumstances, to say the least. Rory works at the sign company where Sam places the billboards he writes for his wife. They've been separated for a long time and though his wife has moved on, he continues to write her love notes via billboard as a way of expressing his feelings.

Though Rory has always seen herself as not very emotional, Sam's billboards reach a place inside of her she hasn't spent much time focusing onespecially when she learns that Sam's wife recently passed on. She screws up the nerve to give him a condolence call and they agree to meet for lunch. On the way there they get into a minor fender bender and the next thing either of them knows, they're in Sam's apartment. You might be able to guess what happens next... ;)

Heart Signs Excerpt:

Thinking too much had gotten him into the stasis hed lived in for over two years. He wanted out. Could even smell the scent of freedom beyond the barred gate inside his head. He just needed to reach for it.

Id rather not talk. Or hang out. If its all the same to you. Sam cleared his throat. Kiss her, dolt.
Instead she stepped into him, tipping her face upward until their mouths brushed. Her soft lips heated under his, encouraging him to press his tongue against their parted seam. She made a sound of acquiescence, of excitement. The deeper he slid, the more she made the noise. Almost a purr. Carefully, he reached up to hold her head in his palms, tilting her so he could explore. She tasted like grape bubblegum. Sweet, a little wicked. A lot sexy.

This would be okay.

His heart was pounding so fast that eventually he had to break their kiss to breathe. Then he came back for the next round, using his thumb to stroke her lower lip while he licked the upper. Again that whimper in the back of her throat. His hard-on grew, straining against his well-worn jeans. If he hadnt been afraid of scaring her, he wouldve tugged down the zipper to give himself room.

Then she did it for him.

So tell me what kind of kisses you like. Romantic, sweet, dirty...bring it on! Comment to win your choice of my ebooks. Happy Valentine's Dayand happy reading!

First Kiss with Ruth Madison and an exceprt from her new story Blue Moon

Hello CEWTNK!!  I have back with me this month Ruth Madison!!  She was on in December for my Naughty by Mistletoe event, and now has come to share with us some more of her fabulous writing!!
Take it away Ruth!!
From the short story Blue Moon by Ruth Madison…
            “We were never more than friends,” Kaitlyn insisted, as she had been doing for years. None of their friends knew about the single kiss they had shared.
It was the summer when they were seventeen. Even though it was difficult for Jason to push his wheelchair over grass, he had agreed to help Kaitlyn set up for a BBQ her mother was hosting. The sun was bright and the air was sticky. They had pulled a tape player out the window and were playing Nanci Griffith’s Once in a Very Blue Moon while they worked. Kaitlyn was holding one end of a table cloth and Jason the other, spreading it over the plastic folding table in the backyard. She was looking at him and his tousled brown hair, the cute squint of his eyes against the light, and wondering if he would ever love her the way she loved him. She had not yet been brave enough to ask.
Once the cloth was spread, they circled the table hunting for things to hold it down so it wouldn’t blow away.  Kaitlyn reached down for a stone and when she straightened, she brushed her bare arm against the side of Jason’s wheels, the cool metal of the rail feeling wonderful on the hot day.
He reached out and steadied her elbow before she fell and something in his face was different when she looked at him. She saw that he was having the same moment she had had years earlier. She saw the love and the realization of the love blossoming in his eyes.
They fell against one another, their lips touching. In her mind Kaitlyn saw herself as an elegant lady in a heavy brocade dress and Jason on a clean white horse, the kiss the passionate seal of a long fate. In reality it was clumsy and awkward. Her chapped lips brushing over his, her bony arms not knowing where to go. Yet there was a tingling, tiny pricks of excitement against her mouth just where their skin touched. The kiss sparked a fire in her core that had never gone out.

Sounds amazing!!  A big thank you to Ruth for sharing!!!

We hope you join us and let us know your Dirty Little Secrets!

This week's question:
If you could travel back in time, what era would you like to find yourself in and why?


Ancient Greece.  I have a thing for mythology and sex was completely unfettered with no one being grouped or made fun of because of "unusual" sexual practices.  You could have multiple partners, same or opposite sex and no one would think anything about it and sex was key in celebrations of the Gods.  It was a fascinating time.

18 & Over Book Blogger Follow




 18 & Over Book Blogger Follow is a weekly feature that begins on Fridays and runs through the weekend, hosted by Crystal from Reading Between the Wines. This is a Friday blog hop with the objective to find and visit other book blogs that share the same interest as you, namely books geared towards the 18 & over crowd, and make some new friends!

Question of the Week: Do you, or have you ever, purchased a book solely based on it’s cover alone?

So I'm a first timer:)  But I loved Reading Between the Wines' blog and I want to try out some of the memes from the 18+ blogs:)  Smut Lovers unite!!

So my answer is hell yes and doesn't everyone?  Covers are meant to be appealing and beautiful.  Its what helps draw new readers to you, that and the amazingly awesome man-candy that usually posts with it.  I have drooled over some hot covers, and some sexy ones, but I've bought other ones just because I actually fell in love with the beauty of the cover.

 Half incredibly hot naked guy on the beach..no brainer.
 Hot Highlander with a sword...you know hes naked under there right?
 This one got my attention just because of the cover!! Its unique and the book rocked!
 I remember when I first picked up Larissa Ione's book from her Demonica series?  Hot guy and then I read the word demon....yeah that's a weakness of mine!!!  So now I have...all of her books :)
I loved this cover.  I thought it was absolutely beautiful, strictly from a artistic point of view.
 
I have a thing for water so this cover totally appealed to me!!  It was a great read too.
 
I love book covers for many reasons.  Even if the don't have extremely erotic poses or incredible half naked hotties on them.....but, the former will get me to pick it up if I am perusing!!  LOL!!!

So, what about you? Have you ever purchased a book based on the cover alone?

LEANORE'S NAUGHTY MEN
REVEALED:
(Dell)
Dell is a thief hired to steal something from another thief, Glory. Only, he is stolen and his actions are not his own when his innermost desires are revealed.
His forceful grasp on her hips propelled his cock in a perfect glide, in and out. She was so wet, powerless to stop herself as she continued to move herself back and forth on him."Yes, I want this," Glory panted breathlessly.
"You have it now." Dell skillfully massaged her nipples."Tell me how much you like it."

NOWHERE, ARIZONA: THE SUNSET WARRIOR:
(Devon)
Devon Finds Madeline stuck in the desert. He knows he wants her and will use any means of seduction to have her.
"―I want to taste you. What do you taste like? I will bet your juices are both sweet and salty." Devon's lips caressed the words along her skin, "I would like to take those rosy nipples into my mouth and suck on them until you scream for me."

REALM OF FIRE:
(Saxon)
Saxon has waited a for a long time to have Belle back, but she doesn't even know he's alive. She is working as a Hotshot Firefighter and he becomes one of the crew to get close to her.
Belle gasped loudly as his hard, erect cock entered her.
Saxon continued to raise her hips and lower her down forcefully as he tilted his pelvis higher to deepen the penetration.
“Unh,” she moaned with a helpless sound.
“We’re gonna burn, together.” His voice sounded strained as he repeated the pounding thrusts.

BEASTS~THE EYES OF CONSTANCE:
(Jack)
Jack has protected Constance for three years, as they chase Serial Killers. What will she do when she finds out that she may need protection from him?
"A fluffy piece of sweet cream cake." He opened up her folds, lowered his hot mouth and latched onto her clit.
Constance nearly leapt from his grasp.
Jack sucked on her open clit and pulled his lips away. "I am going to feast on you." He lowered his hot searing mouth back down while keeping her tender skin exposed, using his tongue to flick her throbbing labia.


THE BEHOLDER:
(Hayden)
Hayden becomes the mark of gorgeous hitwoman, and he turns the game around on her. What will it take to change her desire to kill him into a desire to have him?
His deep plunging elicited a vulnerable, but sweet feeling as she gazed into his mesmerizing eyes and saw images of them together. She was bent over as he shoved into her with powerful strokes, using her hips to deepen his penetration. Next, he was spreading her thighs open and licking her pussy. Trace moaned as though she could feel his hot, velvety tongue on her clit. Moisture slipped from her and she blinked her eyes.
“I’m showing you a glimpse of your future now. A view of my wicked plans for you.” He sped up the thrusting rhythm.


BEASTS~A Different Life:
(Damon)
Damon has chased Alex across the cosmos and each time he finds her, she gets closer to remembering him. He will do anything to get her back, be anything, even if he has to live in a different life.
At the sensuous sound, he smiled, lowered his face to her breast and sucked on a nipple.
"Oh, how can you just…?" Her words became breathless gasps while she tilted her head back.
He swiveled her around and pumped into her. “I can and will."
Her shuddering body tensed up with pleasure. "Oh!"
He gazed intently at her and pumped faster, the water from the tub sloshed over the sides. "Yes, my Alex, come with me,” he whispered low into her ear. "Come…"

BEASTS~King Of Vengeance
(Victor)
Payne is an LA cop who makes his own rules. When he takes a case of a woman slasher, he meets Valentine and his entire existence is put to the test.
"You‘re mine." He pulled her up and shoved his cock into her with an angry thrust.
"Unh…" she moaned loudly as her body jerked from the sudden intrusion.
He thrust into her repeatedly, lust driving him as he drew in her scent and kissed her neck while he raised her hips up and down on him, grinding her onto his marbled cock to deepen the thrusts.
"Yes!" Valentine cried out, as her weeping grew loud in the room.

THE THREE BOOK SOUL TRILOGY:
 (Nick)
SOUL SACRFICE:
A saga of a thousand pages, which follows the lives of four couples, a curse, murder, mystery and hot seduction.
"You will run?" Cesso taunted.
    He moved her body down closer to his hips. "Now, you cannot run," Reeves vowed beneath his breath. He shoved deeper into her, his powerful hips thrusting his cock up and forward.
    Her eyes widened in wonder, as he drove deep into her. The feeling of his cock touching her so deep, wiped the smile completely away. Not in all her days had, she ever envisioned anything such as this before.

SOUL BETRAYAL:
"Do you feel how close I am?" His words rasped into her ear. He lifted her up and positioned her on his lap. "I will fill you and keep you," Parker whispered as he grasped her hips and shoved his cock up inside of her.
Penny drew in another breath as her body strained."Unh…" she moaned.

SOUL REDEMPTION:
Nick grabbed her by her bare soapy ass and laughed wickedly with pure abandon. Pulling her down into the cooling water, he set her back down onto his waiting hardness. He deftly drew his fingers up to grasp each nipple and released a contented breath while he tweaked and pinched them. "There will be no mercy for you, Jube. No mercy!" He lowered his hot mouth to her neck.

First Kiss Giveaway Kick-off!!

  So I was talking to my good friend Nora and we agreed that what better way to kick off the month of love than with a giveaway and the first post in my First Kiss Event?  So I hog-tied Nora, and we put together, not only a sizzling First-Kiss piece but an awesome Gift package with Godiva, An excellent read, and a heart warming movie :)  And here to tell you all about it is the lovely Nora Weston.  Take it away Nora!



First Kiss Event

What comes to mind when I hear first kiss? Newspapers, rain, a pounding heart, and...um, well—I’ll just leave it at that! A first kiss should be memorable, should make you quiver as your temperature rises while time is obliterated by uncontrollable passion. Allie (Rachel McAdams) and Noah (Ryan Gosling) in The Notebook know how to bring the heat. Yeah, they invade each other’s space real nice. Forbidden love tangles Allie and Noah in a web saturated with desire that pays no mind to what anyone thinks. Against the odds...love wins and does so with kisses galore in this romantic movie from 2004.

While I enjoyed every steamy minute of The Notebook, Gray (Jennifer Garner) and Fritz (Timothy Olyphant) in Catch and Release kiss in a way sure to satisfy. These two are opposites...can’t stand each other since Gray is everything wise and practical and Fritz is the epitome of recklessness, or is he? Their first kiss is filled with tension, an absolute hunger for each other, and then gentleness overtakes them as their bodies mold together. Awesome first kiss...

In my latest release, “The Twelfth Paladin,” Jake Cottrell is a seeker of mischief who learns the hard way forbidden desire can get a person into hot water...literally, since his soul is fated to boil in Hell. Jake is attracted to all things wicked, including Rachel Darnell, a breathtaking seductress who has an insatiable craving for him. Take a peek into their world as Rachel takes a bite out of her boy-toy, forever altering his perception of reality.

Let's take a little Peek at Nora's Book and Movie:
In The Twelfth Paladin, good against evil battles as an angel, demons, and a temptress extraordinaire, named Rachel Darnell, vie for the soul of Jake Cottrell. Jake foolishly dares Hell to burn him. Hell agrees.

Scarred with angelfire by a rebellious angel, named Micah, Jake Cottrell is sanctioned to become the twelfth paladin in Micah’s supernatural unit of slayers. However, regret abounds as Micah is banished and ordered to protect what he now despises…a human he believes is unworthy of such an honor. Never fear, Jake is a seeker of mischief who soars on a blistering blacktop to escape the wrath of Hell while he transforms into the twelfth paladin.

The Twelfth Paladin
(Chapter Eleven/Excerpt)

Jake Cottrell pretends to be Doctor Davis Travis in order to seduce the enticing Rachel Darnell. Big mistake...as big as any Jake will ever make. Their first kiss leaves Jake breathless and dying for more of her. Ever feel that way about someone? Lucky you!

I fled down the steps and into the kitchen. I noticed Davis had left out whiskey and vodka on the counter. He had read my mind. Gathering up the alcohol, I was ready to party hard, like I knew I may never do it again...as though Armageddon was about to befall us. “Thanks, Davis,” I said grabbing black glasses wrapped in silver dragons décor, and then I raced upstairs famished like a wild animal. Back upstairs, I didn’t think about consequences, or right and wrong. I just dove into the treacherous jungle I’d created.

Rachel grabbed the whiskey, and then hit play on the sound system. Kashmir, by Led Zeppelin, and my favorite song, rocked us into the night. “Screw the glasses...” Rachel gulped it and then licked her fingers. Whiskey flowed all over her low-cut dress, so now her breasts were wet with that sin filled alcohol.

Laura grabbed the vodka and she, too, skipped a glass. “Have some!” She poured vodka down my throat, which burned worse than usual, but since Laura had stripped…my throat became unimportant. She fell on the bed saying, “I’m ready for my check-up, Doc.”

“Whoa...nice.” My eyes lit up as I smiled at Laura. That pissed off Rachel—all the better for me.

“Get over here!” demanded Rachel. “I want a bite out of you, and you’d better taste damn good.”

I motioned to Laura to hold up for a second and walked over to Rachel aching to know what she’d do to me.

Her lips smacked hard upon mine. Rachel almost sucked my life away as she slid my pants off. Her red claws scratched my chest. “Oh, yeah, great muscular body...you’ll do just fine.”

I unzipped that amazing red dress and tore it off, unveiling the most succulent body I’d ever seen. Looking up toward Heaven, I said, “Thank you!” Full breasts, tiny waist, and an ass I had to touch. Well, I should have looked down...way down.

Both of our naked bodies dropped to the floor where we meshed upon a huge oriental rug. Strange voices in my head ordered me to fulfill my every forbidden desire, so I listened. Violating every inch of Rachel’s scorching hot body left me hungry for more of her, no…dying for her.

Rachel’s moans of ecstasy were loud and clear as we became saturated in sin. Slowly, we made our way to the bed where Laura joined in on the fun. Laura got on top of me. Her lips were soft, delivering gentle kisses, and her embrace was tender and sweet. I felt younger with Laura, more like I felt in high school. These two were quite a pair. Laura was a kitten and Rachel, a wild panther.

However, just when I thought I’d get two for the price of one, Rachel caressed Laura’s cheek whispering, “Hush, child…time to sleep.”

Laura passed out, leaving Rachel free to be with me.

“Hey, my beauty, let’s shower,” I said grabbing her hand.

And we did...in a black marble tiled shower that was gigantic, almost as big as my entire bathroom.

Over and over, Rachel pleasured me. Her wet, slippery body pressed up against mine like it was illegal for us both to occupy the same space. It took little effort for her to possess me.

Irrepressible desire led the way as I squeezed Rachel’s sexy as Hell ass and thighs. I still thought I had to be dreaming when my hands moved through her midnight black hair...that was so soft it felt like silk.

In a blur of sinful motion, Rachel put her mouth to mine and kissed me hard enough to draw blood. She then licked my blood as if it was an expensive wine.

Good, clean fun, I thought shoving Rachel up against the huge shower wall to become barbaric. And those wraith-like voices in my head wouldn’t stop tormenting me, but I didn’t try to halt them. Divine voices joined the party ordering me to reject her. So in absolute betrayal of my ever pressing conscience, I picked up Rachel.

Wrapping her slender, toned legs around my back, she kissed me with such heat I felt I’d spontaneously combust. Kashmir repeated louder, but slower...and it really seemed like the rhythm of the song pulsed to her moves. Out of nowhere, the lights in the bathroom burst, but candles flickered to cast ghoulish shadow watchers who chanted with the music, cheering me on so to speak.

My blood boiled as I penetrated her, and we soared to new heights of ecstasy. Our sex was hot, insanely hazardous—not of this world. As the water hit our skin, we immersed ourselves with each other completely blissful.

Rachel played with my wet hair and then hugged me saying, “Jake, whenever I want you…you must come to me.” Her whispering, hot upon my flesh stung a little, but I paid no mind to it because of her entrancing presence. Turning the water off, surrounded by warm, misty air, she said, “You belong to me now. I’ve decided to let you live.”

After grabbing a few towels, we moved to the bed.

I heard her loud and clear, yet I was unable to register what ghastly nightmare I had fallen into and so willingly. Hexed by Rachel’s otherworldly voice, my eyes became heavy as I lost my grip on reality. A ruckus of uninvited, warped thoughts sought refuge in my brain as angry voices became excessive.

Nevertheless, Rachel was gloriously primitive and totally unstoppable. I uttered, “Yes, I’m yours…forever. I’d do anything for you. Just ask.” Was this me? Had my wings been clipped?
Rachel smiled like she had won a great prize. And she had. Curling up beside me, she seemed to fit there.

Physically drained, we then slept.

Soon, although still exhausted, I awoke and stroked her body noticing every curve. The shape of her lips, glossy locks of black hair that smelled like Gucci Rush...a playful perfume of various floral and spicy scents, and long legs were hers. Yes, everything about Rachel screamed vixen. Thank you, Davis. Man, do I owe you something. I almost wish you could’ve been here. This was your kind of party.

Little did I know Davis was there; he hadn’t missed one calculated second.

A shining new day stole the mischievous night away, yet Rachel Darnell wasn’t for free. I paid a high price for her that night. I’d made a deal with the devil.
