Welcome guest blogger Paige Tyler!

Today I’m pleased to welcome Paige Tyler to the blog. She’s got a sizzling new release, Seducing Officer Barlowe. Take it away, Paige!

SEDUCING OFFICER BARLOWE – The First Book in My Hot New BADGE BUNNIES SERIES!

I’m going to let you in on a little secret. I love writing about cop heroes! (See GOOD COP, BAD GIRL; PROTECTIVE CUSTODY; THE CUTLER BROTHERS SERIES, SAMANTHA and the DETECTIVE!) There’s just something about a man in uniform, I guess. Especially the ones who come with their own handcuffs! 

So, to embrace that, I’m starting a new series called THE BADGE BUNNIES SERIES. It’s all about women who have a thing for hot and sexy cops, and the first book is called SEDUCING OFFICER BARLOWE.

Happy Reading!

Gotta Love a Guy Who Comes with His Own Handcuffs! 

Harley Miller has always fantasized about having sex with a cop. So, when hunky Royce Barlowe comes to her rescue after her car breaks down, she can’t resist flirting with him. One thing leads to another and soon she’s kissing him.

Going further than that right there on the side of the road is crazy and impulsive, not to mention reckless, but neither one can help themselves and soon he’s cuffing her hands behind her back and fulfilling her wildest fantasy – which turns out to be hotter than anything she’s ever imagined.

Excerpt:

“I have a confession to make, Officer,” she said softly.

He drew her bottom lip into his mouth and sucked on it. “Is it something I’m going to have to arrest you for?”

An image of him pushing her up against the wall and frisking her popped into her head, and she stifled a moan as her pussy spasmed.

“I don’t know.” She trailed her fingers down his abs to caress his belt. “Is fantasizing about having sex with a hot cop a crime? Because I’ve fantasized about it for a long time.”

Officer Barlowe’s eyes took on a deliciously dangerous glint. But instead of kissing her again like she’d thought he would—or evenBadge Bunnies Seducing Officer Barlowe Website Welcome guest blogger Paige Tyler! unbuckling his belt and pushing down his pants so he could slip that magnificent cock of his in her pussy—he lifted her down from the car’s hood and spun her around.

Harley threw him a confused look over her shoulder. “What are you doing?”

His sensuous mouth quirked. “Playing into your fantasy.”

She opened her mouth to ask how he intended to do that, but all that came out was a soft, “Mmm,” as he slowly ran his hands down her body and back up again.

“If I were going to arrest you, I’d first have to frisk you,” he whispered in her ear. “Just to make sure you weren’t concealing any weapons.”

His breath stirred her hair, making her shiver.

“Nope, no weapons here.” He cupped her breasts, giving her nipples a squeeze through the fabric before slipping his hand between her legs. “What about here?”

She moaned as he thrust a finger in her pussy and wiggled it back and forth.

“No weapons here, either.”

He slid his finger out to fumble with something on his belt. Harley was about to look over her shoulder to see what he was doing when something cool and metallic snapped around her wrist. Handcuffs. A quiver of excitement raced through her as he gently pinned that arm behind her back and cuffed it to the other one.

She caught her bottom lip between her teeth. This was even better than her fantasies.

He put his mouth to her ear again. “Spread ‘em.”

Six Sentence Sunday 2/19/12- Even more from Impact

Thanks for sticking with me, everybody. I really do appreciate your comments and as soon as I have a weekend where I’m not felled by one virus or another (I know, wishful thinking with a toddler in the house), I’ll be making the rounds.

For now, we’re staying with Impact, and will be until Cold As Ice (Buffalo Intimidators 2) comes out on March 7th.

He leaned over her and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. She looked in his eyes and saw myriad emotions, some of which she’d bet he didn’t know were there. Her throat closed and she had to blink to stop the sudden welling of tears threatening to overwhelm her.

He might deny it, but he felt more for her than simple lust. The thought made her want to pull his head down and kiss him senseless for about three weeks, but she knew this wasn’t the time or the place, so she smiled and answered, “Sure, later.” Giving her another quick kiss, he rose and grabbed his duffel bag before striding to the bathroom and closing the door.

Awww, Conner’s falling in love. Don’t you love those books where the hero falls in love almost against his will? *clapping gleefully*

Thursday 13- 2/16/12 13 of my favorite books

For this week I decided to share some of my favorite books. Some you’ll be familiar with, others, maybe not so much, which is the beauty of these lists I make. I hope you guys learn something, or at least find a good cupcake recipe every now and then. icon wink Thursday 13  2/16/12 13 of my favorite books

1. The Westing Game: great YA book. It’s a little dated at this point, as its first printing was in 1978, but it was a Newberry Medal winner and got a lot of other accolades which I’m not going to list. In the age of magic and witches and vampires, this is a story with a lot of twists and turns, but there’s not a wand or a fang in sight.

2. Agnes & the Hitman: This is one Jenny Cruisie and Bob Mayer wrote together, and I swear I went into a mourning period when I heard they had no plans for further collaborations (they do have other joint books but this is my favorite). The “Hitman” is adorable, Agnes is adorable, and you freaking root for these people to make it.

3. It Happened One Autumn: Book 3 of Lisa Kleypas’ Wallflower series, and the best one of the lot, though there are no duds (she doesn’t tend to write duds in general, though I like her historicals better than her contemporaries). Anyhoo, Marcus is a mouth-watering hero and you can’t help but root for poor Lilian.

4. Body Check: Book 1 of Deirdre Martin’s NY Blades series. Ty is a yummy hero, especially when he’s licking frosting off you. That’s all I’m gonna say…

5. Darcy’s Story: As a rule I’m not a big fan of P&P “follow up” books, but this one runs parallel to the original P&P and simply gives us a glimpse into Darcy’s point of view. And since he’s the tremendously complex character he is, this makes for fascinating reading.

6. The Annotated Pride and Prejudice: Yes, not just P&P. The annotated version has the text on one side and explanations of all sorts of things, family connections, carriages, modes of dress, etc on the other page. Another fascinating read, and if I was a historical romance author I’d have this thing flagged all over.

7. Eclipse: Book 3 in the Twilight series. Hate me if you want, but I enjoyed the Twilight series. And since I’m a “Team Jacob” girl, I liked Eclipse the best of the four books.

8. Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire: Book 5 in the Harry Potter series. I love the Triwizard tournament and all the resulting craziness that it brought. I also think this is the book where the kids came into their own more than any of the others.

9. You Can Negotiate Anything: Again, laugh if you want, but this is a non-fiction book I had for my negotiation class in MBA school. (Yes, I have an MBA) But I’ll tell you one thing-I never lost a negotiation in that class and I never lose them now. Car dealers fear me.

10. Why is the Stanley Cup in Mario Lemieux’s Swimming Pool?: This is an absolutely fascinating account of some of the things the poor Stanley Cup has endured through the years. Every hockey fan should give it a read.

11. It’s Not About the Bike: Lance Armstrong’s autobiography. I laughed, I cried, I made the people in a Starbucks in Hong Kong very uncomfortable with my spontaneous bursts of emotion. Particularly as someone who battled cancer (Yes, I’m a survivor), this book really hit home for me.

12. King of Russia: An account of Dave King’s time coaching hockey in Russia. It’s obviously not a tell-all – the man isn’t an idiot, but nonetheless gives you a good accounting of how things are different over there. By the way, Evgeni Malkin played on the team while he coached there. So if you’re a Malkin fan you’ll want to check this out.

13. Nineteen Eighty-Four: We had to do a book report in seventh grade. I told my English teacher I wanted to read Nineteen Eighty-Four and he tried to steer me away from it, saying it was too difficult a book for me to digest at that age. Well, that annoyed me. I read it, wrote the book report, and got an A. Did you expect anything different?

What are your favorite books?

This week I’m moving on to my newest release, Impact. Information about it is on the Ellora’s Cave website and all the buy links are on my website at http://www.booksbycassandracarr.com/buckinbullriders.htm. It’s book 1 in the Buckin’ Bull Riders series. Book 2, Collision, will release in the April/May time frame and I hope to have book 3, Momentum, out by late summer.

Running the tip of his tongue along the seam of her lips, Conner coaxed her to open. She did, and he immediately dove inside, savoring the taste of steak, alcohol and pure woman.

Changing the angle, he went in again, exploring every part of her mouth with his tongue, chasing hers in an intimate duel. Tension rolled through his body as he continued to kiss her. He wanted to fuck her so badly, but knew he couldn’t just jam his cock in her pussy. Jessica deserved more, so much more.

Start the Weekend Off Right 2/10/12- The Men of the CW

The CW just upped its hotness quotient again with new shows like The Secret Circle, and I thought this week would be a good time to highlight the hotness melting televisions all over the world.

Gale Harold – The Secret Circle
Yes, I know my obsession with him is probably getting tiresome, but hey, when I see someone I like I tell other people about them.

I'm telling you authors, you wanna know how to write bedroom eyes, study this guy.

Jensen Ackles – Supernatural
I confess I don’t watch Supernatural, but Jensen’s hotness can’t be denied.

Ian Somerhalder – The Vampire Diaries

Who doesn't want to dive into those eyes?

Chace Crawford – Gossip Girl
I stopped watching Gossip Girl about two seasons ago. I needed more time for writing so a lot of my television watching had to stop. Nonetheless, I’ve retained a soft spot in my…heart…for Chace Crawford.

Thursday Thirteen 2/9/12- reasons hockey is better than football

The football season is finally over. I don’t hate football, but when the local team is the Buffalo Bills it’s awfully hard to be a fan. However, despite how awful the Buffalo Sabres have played this season, they’ve done well enough in the fifteen years I’ve been following them to justify my continued affection. So, in that vein, reasons hockey is better than football.

1. Hotter guys (in my opinion). Some examples:

kesler Thursday Thirteen 2/9/12  reasons hockey is better than football

imgres Thursday Thirteen 2/9/12  reasons hockey is better than football

AND HE'S HOLDING A PUPPY!!!!

Andrew Ference Thursday Thirteen 2/9/12  reasons hockey is better than football

2. Easier to follow rules. Sure, there’s icing and a few other oddities, but you don’t need to understand the 3-4, the 4-3, the dime package, the I formation, and a million other details to enjoy hockey.

3. More games and a longer season. More time to enjoy the sport I love!

4. It’s allowed (and expected) to celebrate a goal. Well, as long as you don’t go overboard…see this video for an example of “going too far”.

5. It’s played on ice, and ice is slippery, thus making the basic premise behind hockey more difficult. Most athletes can run, jump, etc, but how many can do it on ice skates?

6. The Stanley Cup, bar none, the hardest trophy to win in sports.

7. The speed and rhythm of the game are much quicker and more exciting.

8. For the most part, hockey players are good role models and humble athletes.  I’ve met both Buffalo Bill and Sabres players and have been far more impressed with the demeanors and actions of the Sabres.

9. The last line of defense is a single person – the goaltender, arguably one of the hardest positions to play in sports. Hockey is a team game, sure, but the puck literally stops (if you’re lucky) with your goaltender.

10. Assists are celebrated and lauded almost as much as goals. One of the most common things a player does after he scores is turns and points to the person who gave them the puck. How many football players do something similar?

11. The unbelievable plays that happen every day in a hockey game. Sure, in football there are one-handed catches and guys who drag opponents five yards to get the first down, but in hockey there are pucks deflected out of the air and into the four by six-foot goal, players making diving saves when the goaltender is out of position, and shots from forty feet out that make it through a tangle of a dozen legs.

12. The Zamboni is the coolest piece of on-field (or on-ice) equipment EVER.

13. There are guys with white gloves who travel with the Stanley Cup 365 days of the year. And it’s been dropped into Mario Lemieux’s swimming pool, babies have been baptized in it, and a million other cool stories most of us don’t even hear.

AND A BONUS: Our coaches don’t look homeless during the games. Case in point, last night’s game Sabres vs Bruins. The Sabres’ head coach, Lindy Ruff, had a collision in practice, so he missed the game. The assistant coaches took over and take a peek at the results!

What do you think? Is hockey better than football? Go ahead and argue in the comments if you want to.

Welcome guest blogger Tara Lain!

Today I’m pleased to welcome my friend Tara Lain to the blog. Tara was just honored as “Best Author 2011″ fromLRWinner 3 Welcome guest blogger Tara Lain! LoveRomancesCafe. Great job, Tara, and well-deserved! Tara’s here today to talk about promo. Love it, hate it, or leave it, every author needs to deal with it somehow! Take it away, Tara…

Hate Promo? Get Over IT!

Thank you so much Cassandra, for inviting me here today. I’m Tara Lain and I’m celebrating the release of my new book, Fire Balls. I’ve posted an excerpt from the book and you’re invited to participate in my Fire Balls Blog Tour Contest by leaving a comment and your email here. See at the bottom of the post for more.

Cassandra and I not only share a passion for erotic romance, we are also both cracked on the subject of book promotion. And since FireBalls ByTaraLain 600x900 200x300 Welcome guest blogger Tara Lain!it’s very much on my mind, I want to say a few words on the subject (No, don’t run and hide!) Cassandra and I are relatively new authors. I published my first book in January of 2011. Two weeks ago, Cassandra and I both learned that we had been voted winners in the LRC Best of 2011 Awards. Cassandra won for Best BDSM romance against tough competition. I won for Best Author of 2011 and runner-up for Best Series of 2011. Needless to say, we are both ecstatic and more than a little amazed.  Yes, it’s true that we are good writers who wrote a bunch of good books in 2011, BUT no one would have known that if we hadn’t given them a chance to find out. We had to promote ourselves as an integral part of our “profession” as an author.

Some really good authors will tell you that the best way to gain an audience is to write great books. That is true. But there are lots of great authors out there today. There are so many publishers it’s impossible for one reader to track down all the good new books. You need to help them by pointing them to your books. Writers, especially new authors, need to accept the responsibility of self-promotion because otherwise you are depriving readers of the chance to discover your talent and read your books. And that is all I’m going to say about that.  LOL.

Fire BallsA poetry-reading firefighter and a black-belt painter. Work of art or up in flames?

Would you like to win a copy of Fire Balls? Enter my contest. I’m having a drawing this coming Friday (2/10). Leave a comment here with your email and you’ll be entered in that drawing. Go over to my Contest Blog http://beautifulboysbooks.blogspot.com and leave another comment with your email and you will be entered again. And there are more chances to win. Go to my website http://www.taralain.com and look under events. It’s all there.  First leave your comment here. And don’t forget your email.  And thank you to Cassandra for hosting me and to you for coming to say hi.  :  )

BIO:

Tara Lain never met a beautiful boy she didn’t love – at least on paper. A writer of erotic romance, mostly ménage and male/male, Tara loves all her characters, but especially her handsome heroes. A lifelong writer of serious non-fiction, Tara only fell in love withprofpixcopy Welcome guest blogger Tara Lain! EROM in 2009 and, through perseverance and lots of workshops, had the first novel she ever wrote published in January of 2011. Then she capped off the year by being voted Best Author of 2011 in the LRC Awards and had her Genetic Attraction Series named runner-up for Best Series of 2011! A very good year.

After an exotic life of travel all over the world and work in television, education and advertising, Tara settled in Southern California with her soul-mate husband and opened her own small marketing business. She paints, collages, and started practicing yoga “way before it was fashionable”. Passionate about diversity, justice, inclusion and new ideas, she says on her tombstone it will read, “Yes”.

TL animated banner Welcome guest blogger Tara Lain!EXCERPT FROM FIRE BALLS:

 

Available at Amazon B&N ARe

 

Rodney Mansfield is tiny, flamboyant and, oh yeah, a black belt in karate. He is also one of southern California’s greatest artists. Too bad the work of art he really wants is firefighter, Hunter Fallon. But the gorgeous “straight gay” guy could never want the Runtback of Notre Dame, so when Rodney’s handsome, surfer friend, Jerry, develops an unexpected passion for the beautiful firefighter, Rodney breaks his own heart by helping Jerry land his man. And then Rod makes it worse by embarrassing Hunter when he protects him from a firehouse bully. Hunter hates gay guys like Rodney – doesn’t he? Then why can’t he get the powerful pipsqueak’s face out of his mind… and cock out of his ass? And why does he risk his job and his life to rescue Rod from a burning building? Isn’t it time for him to admit he’s not an alpha male after all and that he is the property of the artist?

 

Nothing had been the same since he’d met Rodney Mansfield. Hunter stared at the statues of strange round people on the fountain outside the stationhouse. He didn’t quite understand this artwork. But he did get Rodney’s. Rod was a genius. His art was masterful.

Hunter set his book on the side of the fountain. No use pretending he was reading. He’d just stare at the weird sculpture. Funny. Weird is the way Rod described himself. Homo fag. Both were actually true. With his purple-tipped hair. Or blue. Or pink. The multiple earrings. His tiny-sized, bright clothes, and flamboyant manner. They all added up to the kind of gay guy Hunter ran from. But Rod wasn’t a “kind” of anything. He was himself—authentic, special.

Hunter knew if he could paint, he’d want to paint Rodney. That great face. Jerry called him adorable. The guy’s face was almost pretty. Big eyes and soft, girlish lips. That shock of bleached hair falling in front of those brown eyes, a great contrast to the slim, hard body and big cock. Yeah, Hunter knew up close and personal just how big that cock was.

He ran a hand through his hair. Couldn’t get the guy out of his mind. The idea of never seeing him again. Never having that cock in his ass. Shit, it made him crazy. He should be glad to be rid of him, but he wasn’t. And he’d screwed any chance of even having Rodney as a friend.

Deep breath. Hunter had to get his head on straight. Tomorrow was a big day. The call to Bill had been magic. The guy really wanted to help. If the meeting he set up panned out at all, maybe Hunter could grab the brass ring and become a teacher. God, the idea gave him goose bumps. He loved firefighting. But teaching? Wow. Teaching felt real to him.

Wonder what Rodney would say about him switching jobs?

Hunter shook his head. Get over it.

The alarm bell shocked him out of his stupor. His body jerked. No thinking, just response. He leaped up and cleared the few yards into the station in seconds, grabbed his gear, and had it on before the rest of the guys made it out of the ready room. “What is it?”

Cam was also dressed. “Building fire on Laguna Canyon Road. One of the art studios, they said. Tough one. Paint is really flammable.”

His mind locked on a picture of an old, struggling space heater on an ancient cord. Shit!  Rod. But no, he’d be at the Festival manning his stand. Safe. Oh God, please. He hoped. Strictly against protocol, but he fished his cell out of his pants and dialed.

The voice on the other end sounded worried. “Hunter?”

“Quick, Jerry. Do you know where Rodney is?”

“At the Festival. I just heard about the fire. Shit. Is it his studio?”

“Don’t know yet. All those beautiful paintings. I hope not.”

“No man, all the paintings are at the Festival. He said he cleaned out most all of his inventory because of the fight. People are crazy for his stuff.”

“Good. Gotta go.” He clicked off and jumped into the truck, taking his seat beside Cam. The engine raced down the Laguna Canyon Road.

Straight toward Rodney’s studio.

They turned into the drive, lookie loos scattering. Flames leaped out of the roof of the low structure where he had first learned what real orgasm meant. The sight hurt Hunter’s heart. If Jerry was right, maybe the real loss—the priceless art—would be avoided, thanks to the fight. Yeah, the fight he ought to feel grateful for instead of pissed off about.

The firefighters piled out onto the hard-packed dirt drive and hauled the hose toward the hydrant out by the highway. Shit, they were just going to make it…if they were lucky.

“Save him. Help, please, help,” one woman screamed, pointing toward the building.

Not a good thing. He gave his spot on the hose to another man and ran to the woman’s side. “Ma’am. What do you mean?”

The woman on the driveway was white as a cloud and pointing, her mouth working. “Rod. Rodney. He ran in. Do something.”

He gripped her arm. “Ran in? Rodney ran in there?” Ice froze his heart.

“Yes, yes. I came over to see, and suddenly he just ran past me and straight in the door. I don’t know where his car is…”

Hell no! He pulled on his respirator and ran toward the door of the studio. His heart beat way too fast. Had to get control. Why, why would Rod do it? What was worth his life? His life. He couldn’t die. Hell, no.

“Fallon, wait. Don’t go in alone.” Cam screamed behind him.

Hell, no. No time to wait. Rod was in there.

The screen door, the damned squeaky screen door, hung half off its hinges. He tore it away and, hunched against the heat, moved into the studio. Smoke. Embers raining down. The heat pushed like a wall through his gear. The flames crawled along the half-missing roof like a snake slinking along a branch, hissing.

Stop. Think. The part of the structure closest to the door remained most intact. He dropped to the floor and scooted along a few feet. Not much in here. Beside him, the old desk had burned nearly to ash. His heart hammered. Breathe slowly. Don’t panic.

Where is he? Can’t be too late. No, hell, no. Never too late. He crawled another couple feet and pressed his head down by the floor, squinting through the smoke…

Six Sentence Sunday 2/5/12- Impact

This week I’m moving on to my newest release, Impact. Information about it is on the Ellora’s Cave website. It’s book 1 in the Buckin’ Bull Riders series. Book 2, Collision, will release in the April/May time frame and I hope to have book 3, Momentum, out by late summer.

Conner, our intrepid hero, is a closet Dom. Jessica, our fearless heroine, is a submissive just getting her feet wet in the BDSM scene.

“If you wanna do this BDSM thing in any capacity you’ll suck me again tonight first thing and then I’ll consider it.” She gave a little shudder. “That excites you, doesn’t it? Knowing you’ll be on your knees later with my dick in your mouth? I bet your pussy’s weeping right now, isn’t it?” Reaching a hand down to her crotch, he found her jeans damp.

Yep, that’s Conner…isn’t he great? <g>
