Merry (Belated) Christmas!

A quick update, folks. As always, the holiday season has been busy for the husband and I. He's off this week and we've been all over the province visiting family and friends.

Spinning Heads - Forrest Young

The Anniversary - Amelia Moore

The Many Manipulations of Calvert Howard - Calvert Howard

Forcing the Issue - Zoe Miller

And of course, don't forget Awake My Soul, which Amazon has listed at $4.69 right now!

New Relase: The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball

New release day is here and it's my last release for the year! The sequel to Welcome to the Black Room is on sale on Amazon for only $0.99 cents. Even better? Welcome to the Black Room is free today and tomorrow over on amazon!

The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball

Henrietta has waited in fear and excitement for her duke to return. The night they shared hasn’t left her mind, but as the days turn into weeks she has lost hope that she will ever see the man again. In the heat of summer she finds herself called upon again, but this time her dark duke pushes her further than she could have ever imagined.

Cover Reveal!

I've only got one more edit to do on The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball! I should have that done tonight which means it will get uploaded and ready for sale for tomorrow morning. 

As for finishing up Lay Me Bare; I'm trying really, really hard. I'm about 2700 words into the final chapter and I really hope to get it done before Christmas. I know I just need one day to hammer it out and it will be done, but it is right before Chistmas and I keep either remembering to go buy one last gift, or do an edit of The Sinners' Ball, and so on! I really think I can get it done this week, I just need to chain myself to my computer.

Without further ado, here's the cover for The Masquerade Affair Volume Two: The Sinners' Ball!

Review: Formal Finger Fucking by Jamie Fuchs and a GIVEAWAY!

From Amazon: Tonight, Rebecca finally has the opportunity to fulfil one of her long time fantasies - to be fingered at a formal dinner, surrounded by people. The only problem? She’s seated at a table with some of the most powerful people in the company. People who can make or break her career.

Tonight, all bets are off.

[mf, fingering, public sex]

The sexiness of a fantasy come to life is what drives Formal Finger Fucking. Yes, the title is dirty and raw, but the story itself is sweet, passionate, and sexy. This 3,500 word short revolves around Rebecca and her new boyfriend. She’s got a fantasy, a fairly ‘simple’ fantasy by what most porn would lead you to believe. She wants to have her boyfriend finger her in a public place. Not just public either, the best would be at a fancy dinner where everyone would be dressed to the nines. When the opportunity arises, Rebecca risks her career for her fantasy.

The fantasy, while ‘simple’, is written so well by Jamie Fuchs (either the best coincidence ever, or she’s got a great mind for puns) that it isn’t simple at all. There is a sense of danger, the thrill of being caught. It’s that thrill that really makes the idea sexy to Rebecca, and there are a few times in the book that she almost does.

Formal Finger Fucking proves that when well written erotica doesn’t have to be balls to the wall crazy. This short is passionate and sweet, although it’s a little on the short side. The minimum length on kindle is 2,500 words, so it’s still well above the minimum. This short doesn’t feel brief. Everything is well described and the writing is free of error. It’s an excellent short for people who want their erotica anchored in reality.

My Rating: ****/*****

Updates on writing and news of a giveaway

I’m snowed in! Well, not completely, but there is a lot more snow outside than I would like. The good news is that I haven’t had any real desire to leave my house. If I’m stuck inside I might as well write. I thought about taking this week off, about relaxing and catching up on some Netflix. Nope, I just kept writing. I think I’m on the very last chapter of the first draft of Lay Me Bare! I’d love to get it done before I take a few days off at Christmas and then I can come back to it in January with fresh eyes to edit it and then it can be done and published in February.

I’m hoping to finish editing The Masquerade Affair Part Two this afternoon and then have it up on Amazon tomorrow. I’ll probably do a push to make the first one free for a day and update it to include a link to the second one. I’m hoping to release the third part in early January. All said and done I think the series will be six or seven books.

And of course I’m still working on reviews. Tomorrow I’ll be looking at a sexy short by Jamie Fuchs and even more exciting I’ll be doing a giveaway with Jamie! Not only will I be reviewing her latest work, but together we’re going to give away five copies. The contest will be on my and her twitter, so keep your eyes peeled and hopefully you’ll win.

Review: Yulene and the Wolf: A Yuletide Legend by Nora Nix

From Amazon: Yulene has grown up on the tales of Ragnarok, the great clash of the gods that will destroy the mortal world. Every ten years, a young girl must be given as a sacrifice on the eve of the solstice; a gift meant to placate the ravenous Fenrir, a beast destined to kill Odin as part of the apocalyptic prophecy. Yulene must face the wolf this year, but when she does, she finds that there is another hunger that lurks within him. Can she satisfy his dark appetites? And will he let her live if she does?

[mf, werewolves, supernatural, virgin]

Just in time for Christmas is Yulene and the Wolf: A Yuletide Legend from erotica writer Nora Nix. This is a short of just under 6000 words, but it packs a really good punch. The story is set in old Scandinavia where people worshipped Odin and the gods of Asgard. They worship him so much that one village sacrifices a virgin at the winter solstice just to try to keep Odin safe from Fenrir, the wolf destined to eat Odin and destroy the world. 

That virgin is Yulene and when she is of age she is left in the wilds for Fenrir in hopes that he will eat her instead of Odin. Of course, he does eat her, but not in the way she expected. Lust and passion are what await poor Yulene, not death and dismemberment. They share a sexy encounter that is passionate and exciting, but a little bit brief.

Nora Nix’s writing is beautiful. She commands the language and matches her prose perfectly to the setting. It’s a scintillating read that’s only made better by such wonderful language. My only complaint is that I want more! There was a great build up, but the story ended rather quickly once it really got raring to go. The good news is that the book is to be continued, so I’ll definitely be watching for the sequel!

I’m definitely recommending Yulene and the Wolf. It’s a great holiday read, it’s sexy, and it’s a great pick for anyone who wanted to see a lot more sex in Thor!

Review: A Passing Grade by John Dylena

From Amazon: Tyler was on the home stretch. He only had one semester left of college and he had a career waiting for him. All he needed was that degree. But he was about to lose everything.
On the verge of failing the one and only class he needed to graduate, he begged his teacher, the older and attractive Ms. Abby Kilia for a chance to fix his grade. He told her he'd do anything, and she took him up on the offer.
The Saturday morning study session turned into detention, and Tyler became Tiffany, the slutty schoolgirl who needed to be punished.

[mf, crossdressing, femdom, forced feminization, pegging]

John Dylena’s A Passing Grade is a fun forced fem erotica short that is just over 7,000 words long. The story features Tyler, a student who needs to pass his psychology class in order to finish his degree. His only problem is that he’s flunking the course. In a moment of weakness he promises the professor, the smoking hot Ms. Kilia he’ll do anything. To Ms. Kilia, anything means dressing him up like a slutty school girl named Tiffany and having a bit of fun with the poor boy who likes it all too much.

The author does a great job of setting up how desperate poor Tyler is to pass. He’s a fairly shy young man with a touch of natural femininity that makes his foray into crossdressing pretty successful. Ms. Kilia is a seasoned pro in getting what she wants out of men and guides Tyler into her world quite forcefully, but it’s all in great fun for the reader.

The story is hot, but not heart pounding, hair pulling hot. Dylena’s writing is grammatically perfect and quite polished, but there is a bit lost in the technical way the story is written. The detail is there but the thing that keeps this story from being a 5 star book is a lack of heat when it comes to the five senses. A little more flavour and a little less technical and this story would definitely been a lot hotter.

My Rating: ****\*****
