Nails and Sale II!

My day is all out of whack. I had to take lover to the airport for a business trip waaaaay earlier than I ever wake up. But I didn’t want the day to slip away without a post!

Last week we attended a cocktail party, and these nails were a hit:

The glitter doesn’t have polish, so after I put the glitter on, I had to use the special nail art saver polish. I tried to use just clear nail polish, but that didn’t work at all. Make sure your nails are dry though before putting the nail saver stuff on because otherwise the colors run.

Remember, Corporate Fire is only $0.99 today and tomorrow!

Corporate Fire on Sale for $0.99!

10| The Second Date

After reading several tips and suggestions, Grace sorted through her clothes. Royce was right about waiting for intercourse: it would be better if she wasn’t reeling from her job loss, her broken leg, her new relationship with him. Still, she felt like someone binging after a long, restricted diet and having her doughnut ripped out of her hand. She wanted to make love to him all night, she wanted them to feel together the intense pleasure she’d just experienced.

Her hands shook as she sorted out her clothes and changed. It really shouldn’t be so nerve racking to offer a guy a blow job. That’s what they all wanted, right?

The ache in her leg didn’t help, but she refused to take her medicine. She didn’t want him to think she was offering because her brain was loopy.

She put on her red knit pajama shorts and white cotton cami—not lacy lingerie, but she hadn’t planned on being with a man tonight. She was supposed to be dining alone and returning to her room to work on her app. She folded up her dress, placed it in the outside compartment of her suitcase and zipped it shut. What a depressing night that would be compared to how it’d turned out, broken leg and all. She collapsed back into bed, exhausted from the effort. After resting for a moment, she ticked off the techniques she’d read about online for giving good oral sex to a man, but she knew she’d already forgotten some. She grabbed her phone to refresh her memory. When Royce knocked on the door a few minutes later, she closed the window and put the phone on the nightstand.

“Come in,” she called.

She heard the whir and click of the electronic lock before the door swung open. Royce stood in a black t-shirt tucked into jeans. The stubble over his bruise gave him a bad boy air that turned her on.

He said, “Hey, sexy.”

Who was he kidding? She was just in her cotton pajamas. She wrinkled her nose at him. “Sorry, I didn’t bring any lingerie with me.”

“Are you kidding? There’s nothing more enticing than a woman looking comfortable. I love that you didn’t brush out your hair.”

She combed her hands through her hair, just realizing she hadn’t brushed it. She’d been too worried about blow job techniques. But that’s not what she told him. “Shoot, I got distracted by my leg. The pain makes it hard to think straight.”

“Don’t worry, it’s a big turn on. It reminds me of what happened here just a little while ago.”

I hope you enjoyed the teaser! Please click here to buy!

Nails and Sales!

Good morning! I’ve been enjoying having fancy nails so much, that I went out and bought a nail kit:

I thought it had a lot of fun colors for the summer and tools that would make designs easier. The first thing I tried was using the fine tipped brush to make musical notes:

IMG_1722It was pretty tricky doing the nails on my right hand because I’m right handed, but overall I liked how they looked.

I’ll be posting some more pics this week of my experiments. Also, Corporate Fire will be on sale for $.99 starting tomorrow! Friday it goes up to $1.99 and next Monday, it’ll be back to full price of $3.99. I hope you check it out!

Grill Night

I hope everyone had a fantastic weekend! I had one of the best outdoor grill meals ever!

I went over to my publicist’s house and she started me off with an Irish Mule–a drink I’ve never had before. Yum! Here’s the recipe:

1.5 oz. Whiskey (She served expensive Jameson so I was living the high life!)
Ginger beer
Bitters
Large wedge of lime

Fill a copper mug with ice. Pour over the whiskey followed by the ginger beer. Stir and add bitters. Squeeze lime over it and drop the wedge in. She didn’t have a fancy copper mug, but it was still awesome. Aparently sometimes it’s served with mint sprigs. Here’s a pic I got from Canstock:

23. Hoisin Burger Make Classic Burger patty (No. 1). Mix 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce and 1 tablespoon each soy sauce, rice wine and honey; brush on the patty and broil 4 minutes per side, brushing with more sauce. Serve on an Asian-spiced bun (No. 22) with broiled scallions and mayonnaise.

But she added grilled pineapple instead of scallions and it was incredible!

Thanks for the great grill Samantha!

I hope everyone ate as well as I did!

Becoming a Romance Heroine: Tattoos

When I think tattoos, I think paranormal romance. But henna tattoos are an indulgence every woman can get to have a little fun. It’s usually a tantalizing design and fades away after a couple of weeks.

My girlfriends and I have gone out to get henna tattoos together a couple of times. It’s a great ladies night out with the added bonus of being a turn on to Lover when he sees the tattoo.

They aren’t that expensive and totally worth the evenings of fun!

Here’s a picture of my publicist’s hand at our last girl’s night out:

I love the glitter in it!

Masked Hearts Free!

canstockphoto3889287Last week several new people followed me on Facebook and Goodreads! To celebrate, I’m giving away Masked Hearts at Smashwords! Use coupon code  BN47G.

Masked Hearts is an erotic romance between a single dad and his son’s kindergarten teacher. The romance begins at the Holiday Cafe where the two meet over their favorite drink: Toil and Trouble with extra cinnamon.

Join them as they tumble through passion and problems and seek out their Happily ever After.

9 | Coffee Break

Sienna jerked around at the squealing tires and saw a black Corvette turning into the Holiday Cafe parking lot. When she recognized Mark as the driver, she wanted to jump into her own car to get away. But she just stared instead. She didn’t want to go over to Carol’s house and eat lunch with her and Glen. Already her heart ached over how many times she and Glen had done that while they were engaged.

Mark pulled his car into a spot right in front of her. The cafe was fairly empty still—Chloe wasn’t even at work yet. Maybe she had Sunday off. Sienna clutched her Toil and Trouble to her chest as Mark hopped out of his car. “Hey,” he said, “I thought you sang in the choir.”

She wanted to laugh at herself for thinking he’d say something like, “That was a great fuck last night.” Of course he’d be more civil than that. And he’d better not mention last night at all. And if he did, he’d better say it was great.

She said, “We sing at the earlier service. The service going on now is contemporary, with a rock band and everything.”

He seemed to be suppressing a laugh. “Naturally, you go to the traditional service.”

She knew it was a reference to how he saw her as a paradox, but she chose to ignore it. It verged on talking about last night. “Did you come by for a Sunday morning coffee?”

“No. I had to go have a fight with my ex-wife. I was on my way home when I saw you pacing here. Is there a reason you’re outside? It’s pretty cold this morning.”

“It seems to be a day for exes. I’m supposed to go have lunch with mine and his mom.”

“That sounds awful. Why don’t you join me inside?”

Sienna held her breath. It shouldn’t be so strange since they’d talked in the cafe for a couple hours yesterday, but that was before they’d screwed like two strangers at a rave. And before he’d given her a rose and a card. “Just for a little bit.”

Becoming a Romance Heroine: Hair

I have super thick hair that I used to keep short. And then for awhile, I didn’t do anything with it at all. What kind of romance heroine doesn’t tend to her hair?

But last year at a charity girls night out event, I met a hairdresser who is awesome. So I’m giving her and the hair salon a shout out today. If you live in Albuquerque, NM you must try D’Ambrosio Designs Hair Studio. My hair dresser is Natalie Ramirez. When I first went to her, my hair was a disaster, but after a year of regular care my natural waves are a plus rather than a hindrance, and it feels oh so soft. I love the way my hair feels now.

The owner of the salon Marcus D’Ambrosio runs a great business. His stylists are always punctual, but if you get there early for your appointment, you can enjoy a variety of coffee–always important!

This picture is a few weeks after my most recent haircut–still soft and wavy!

Indulge yourself at a salon this weekend, and if you live in ABQ check out D’Ambrosio. You’ll be very glad you did!
