Ma Charisse II

Welcome to Friday! Last Satuday I did a post called Ma Charisse, listing three beauty bloggers who I’d hire in my fictional salon Ma Charisse in The Beautician and the Billionaire. I promised a follow-up and here it is!

Over at A Beautiful Whim, Janine covers everything I need to know about keeping our eyes young among many other beauty tips. I especially like all the research she does, and she’s not afraid to post even when one of her favorite products turns out to be harmful.

Willow and Birch Salon has great tutorials and tips. If I lived in Springfield, Illionois I’d give them a try for sure.

So far all the blogs I’ve posted have been ones I’ve been following for several months. But I wanted to give a shout out to one I’ve just discovered because she died her hair with henna! So cool! Hello Lesya!

The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 6: The Banquet

Now available exclusively at All Romance: The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 6: The Banquet!

Charisse agrees to be Conor’s for three weeks to regain control of her beauty salon. But it’s not the romantic sex game she envisioned when Conor sends her back to his penthouse while he goes to dinner with a supermodel.

Conor wants to punish Charisse for accepting a date with the captain. He can claim her body whenever he wants, but seducing her is a more intoxicating challenge. Will he push her too far, or will Charisse’s father succeed in sabotaging their relationship?

The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 5: Scene Takeover b

Welcome to the last post for Episode 5! Warning: Even though they don’t seal the deal yet in this scene, there is a lot of sex talk and foreplay. I definitely give this an NC 17 rating.

Tomorrow I’m realeasing Episode 6: The Banquet and Episode 5 will be on sale for FREE for a limited time! Come back here to get all the links!

Thanks so much for reading!

Charisse’s insides heated like a curling iron. She knew her skin betrayed her with goosebumps and a furious blush, but there was no denying she desired Conor. She feared she even wanted him more than her salon at the moment. When he offered her the salon if she agreed to be his for a month, her mind and body declared war on each other. Continue reading →

The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 5: Scene Takeover

Good morning! I know I promised another post yesterday sharing the beauty blogs I follow. I’m sorry I didn’t get it posted. It was a really bad day, and I’ll just leave it at that. I have time at the end of the week to do another post about beauty blogs.

But now, we’re coming to the close of Episode 5. Emotions are flaring as Conor and Charisse figure out how their moving forward. Enjoy!

Conor listened as Mei requested he come in to talk to Charisse after the salon closed. He wasn’t going to allow Charisse to set the appointments anymore. He’d see her tomorrow just to make a point.

“I’m busy tonight. I’ll come by in the morning before you open.”

“Um, could you hold on a second while I get her?”

He was switched to Mozart music before he could say no. He could hang up, but his desire to hear Charisse’s voice got the better of him. Using all of his business tricks on her was going to be near impossible. Continue reading →

At Ma Charisse

I’ve mentioned on the blog that I am no fashionista, but I have loved following beauty blogs for inspiration for The Beautician and the Billionaire. I’ve even ventured out and bought new beauty products for myself.

Here are some of the beauty bloggers I’d have working at Ma Charisse:

Polished by Amy keeps you up to date on all the nail trends and rocks perfect make up too:

Over at Style Domination Dominique is always chasing down the latest in fashion for you. I love the photos on her blog.

Inspector Gorgeous keeps you beautiful from the inside out. Not only does she have great hair and make up tips, but her recipes are amazing.

Charisse brushed purple polish over the nails she’d just filed into curved tips. The customer chatted about her date plans, but Charisse was busy wondering when Mei would get through to Conor. His assistant had turned her away once already. Maybe they were on the no call list or something, but that didn’t really make sense. Continue reading →

Henna!

One of my most popular posts is Becoming a Fantasy Heroine: Hair. With the upcoming release of my urban fantasy romance Through the Painting, I thought it’d be fun to do some more in the Becoming a Fantasy Heroine series.

There’s no better way to kick it off than with henna tattoos!

I love the idea of tattoos being magical. Two of my all time favorite fantasy heroines are Xena and Gabriella. There’s a fantastic scene in the series where they’re getting elaborate henna tattoos:

This week, I got together with my girlfriends for a sort of post Valentines Day celebration. I hired an artist and all of us got at least one tattoo. She was amazing! So fast and skilled. Here are some pictures from the party: Continue reading →

The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 5: Scene 10

Good morning! In case you’ve forgotten, Becca is Conor’s dead wife’s sister. She’s a pain and calling him today to be more of a pain.

Conor sat at his desk ripping a new one in a CEO who deserved it less than Roy. Conor hadn’t slept most of the night and had arrived at work feeling like a WWE fighter before a match. When Conor finished yelling, the CEO nodded his head, stood up and ran out of the office. Continue reading →

The Beautician and the Billionaire Episode 5: Scene 9

The next day Charisse intended to call a lunchtime meeting with her lady luvs and tell them that Conor was their boss. But it didn’t happened. Instead, she had lunch with just Letti at her favorite sandwich shop and told her about dating Conor, the set-up with the captain and Conor rescinding his offer to sell her the salon.
