Well, I told the Prof. Moriarty (my scrumptiously evil partner in crime–and life!) to pick a number from the comments and he came up with Susan R’s number. Yay, congrats to her! But she already has Stolen Passions and wanted another of my books, so I decided to award a second winner and really give away Stolen Passions as promised. Therefore, my second winner is Jordan H! I’ll send you guys an email with details on how to claim your prize!

Congrats, ladies, and thanks to all who entered!

New Book…and Win the Prequel!
by Crystal Jordan on Feb 22nd, 2011 40 Comments »

I have a new book out today. Woohoo! It’s called Fleeting Passions and the awesome cover is courtesy of Kanaxa’s genius (she did the Smuketeer’s Wasteland covers too–isn’t she awesome?)

This is the third book in the Forbidden Passions series I wrote with Loribelle Hunt.

Here’s the low down on what it’s about:

Love is the only thing she can’t escape…

Ecstatic that she’s found a place to hide—and a job—at Refuge Resort, Cleo Nemean toasts her escape a few too many times and ends up having a one-night stand with a seriously hot leopard shifter. The catch? It’s Adrian Leonidas, her new boss…and they accidentally mark each other as mates.

Nothing could be worse than losing her hard-won freedom. Until her werebear ex, Trevor, tracks her down. His obsession has already cost one life. Determined to never again be the cause of another death—especially Adrian’s—she flees the safety of the refuge. And her new mate’s protection.

Only Cleo has ever caused Adrian to lose his formidable control. Accidental or not, the lovely lion shifter is now his woman. He’s not about to let anything harm her before they’ve explored the undeniable heat between them. There’s only one way to eliminate the threat to her life: use her as bait to lure Trevor into a trap.

When the trap is sprung too soon, however, there’s no time to wonder if whoever tipped Trevor off is tied to his father’s disappearance. Not when there’s a gun pointed at Cleo’s head…

And here’s where you can get it:
Samhain Publishing
Amazon Kindle
B&N Nook

But, wait, there’s more!

Comment on this post and tell me about your favorite kind of shapeshifter–lions, tigers, leopard, bears, hawks, oh my!–and you’ll be entered to win the first book in the series, Stolen Passions! (And if you already have that one, I love you, and you can tell me which of my other ebooks that you want in your comment).

The Smutketeers Do Ava Meyers!
by edenbradley on Feb 15th, 2011 17 Comments »

Eden/Eve: Hey there Smutkedettes-we have a brand new guest with us today and we’re so excited! Ava Meyers is a former criminal prosecutor, so when she writes about hot cops, she knows what she’s talking about! And don’t we all love a man in uniform? Especially when they take it off…*G* Let’s all welcome her and take a look at her smokin’ covers!

* * *

Thank you to the Smutketeers for having me as a guest today! I recently published two erotic romance novellas but it’s already been a wild ride. The first novella, Copping To It, is currently ranked in the top 100 romance books on Amazon. How does that make me feel? Besides thrilled?
I feel a bit like I did when I took a human sexuality class my freshman year in college and the instructor had us break into groups on the first day. She instructed each of us to verbalize different words that, to our knowledge, were used to refer to sex, the sex act, or sexual body parts. Her point was that words themselves don’t have power—they only have the power you’re willing to give them. But still, I learned some things that day. And even though I occasionally read, and now write, erotic romance, I’m still learning things! Mostly, I’m learning to balance the two sides of myself—the shy over-achiever who blushes easily and the bold over-achiever whose stories can—to my delighted surprise–make other people blush.
To me, erotic romance is about a woman learning to accept the darkest, most intense aspects of herself. It’s about entertaining women with fiction that explores things they’ve fantasized about but would (probably) never do in real life. It’s not for everyone, but that’s the great thing about being a reader with choices. One person’s smut is another person’s smut-a-licious. You pick what you want, you try something new, and you continue to read what you like best. But what you write and read still may surprise people. Maybe even surprise yourself.
How do I like it? Steamy, a bit dark, suspenseful, and compelling. I have a thing for cops, and love exploring the duality of humanity, the dark and the light. The Red-Hot Cops Series starts with Copping To It. It’s about undercover cop Ty Williamson and Claire, a woman who longs to be a little bad. Below, I’m including an excerpt from Copping To It, but first, I’ve provided a look at the same scene from the Ty’s POV. I hope you enjoy it!

CONTEST! Do you flaunt your dangerous ways or do you keep your risqué side more on the down low? Today I’m giving away an e-copy of Cop Appeal (Book 2 in the series). You first meet the hero, Luke, in Copping To It! Coming up next? Copping Attitude, Noah’s story.
Eden/Eve: The winner will be announced here in the comments section tomorrow, so be sure to check back!

Respected journalist Claire Fullerton fantasizes about being a bad girl, but she also fears that revealing her dark fantasies will open her up to being hurt.

When undercover cop Ty Williamson enters her life, the intense passion she feels for him scares her. Even though Claire is tempted to reveal the vixen inside her, she decides to play it safe and walk away, when walking away is the last thing she wants to do. Months later, Claire is captured by a notorious gang of bikers, the Demon Guardians, the same gang Ty has infiltrated.

Ty and his partner, Luke, have managed to earn the trust of the gang they are trying to shut down. When a senior gang member orders Ty to prove his loyalty by having sex with Claire, all he can think about is getting her to safety – until he sees the desire burning in her eyes.

Reunited with the woman he’s been unable to forget, Ty becomes determined to bind Claire to him. He’ll prove he wants all of her, the good with the bad. In fact, the badder she is, the better they’ll be – together.

Warning: graphic and explicit sex scenes, incl. m/m/f

TEASER:

I infiltrated the Demon Guardians almost three months ago. Since then, they’ve introduced me to their families. I let them mark me with an obnoxious tattoo. I pretended interest in their women. Touched them. Pleasured them.

And now I’m letting one of their women pleasure me.

Brea is giving me head while a crowd watches. Her mouth is a snug, slick source of heat around my cock and her expertise is unmistakable. She’s doing everything she can, using her lips, fingers, tongue and teeth, not to simply bring me pleasure but to prolong the act and prove her power over me.

It’s a power I’ve acceded for one purpose only—to prove my loyalty. Once I spew my seed inside her talented mouth, my initiation will be complete and I’ll be that much closer to nailing the bastards who killed Paul. All I have to do now is enjoy the ride.

I grit my teeth when Brea sucks just the head of my cock and cups my balls. When she drags her nails lightly against my sack, I feel the bite all the way to my toes. My lips part as I imagine her overblown tits and dark nipples the size of half dollars. I want them in my mouth because, let’s face it, I’m a tit man even if the tits available to me aren’t my tits of choice.

I’m sweating but I refuse to make a sound. With my hands buried in her hair, I guide her mouth into a rhythm I like and feed her more of my cock, not surprised when she manages to take my entire length. I’m big, thick and long, almost ten inches of muscle. Usually, I have to be careful with women, but not with Brea. With a sudden thrust of my hips, I challenge her to take me deeper. Harder. Faster.

She complies. Her cheeks flex with the intensity of her sucks and the wet sounds mingle with the cheers of those watching. Leaning my head back, I close my eyes and urge myself to come.

Her mouth feels good, her touch even better, but I can tell she’s getting weary. She’s been sucking my dick for ten minutes now and, considering she’s the first person to touch it (besides me, of course) since Claire Fullerton entered and exited my life three months ago, even I’m a bit surprised by my stamina. It’s not intentional.

Regardless of how much my balls ache and my dick throbs and pleasure sizzles through my blood, it isn’t happening. Believe it or not, I’d rather be anywhere else. Certainly with someone else.

So I let myself think of Claire, just like I do when I jack off. I remember her sweet mouth on mine. The soft, breathy sounds she made when I cupped her breast, and the keening cries she released when I shoved my fingers deep into her weeping pussy.

I grimace as my thoughts cause my dick to expand. Sensing my renewed excitement, Brea picks up speed. God, it feels good.

Fine. I’ve been holding back. Not wanting to fantasize about Claire while another woman blew me. Not wanting to defile her that way.

But I have a job to do here. Even though Claire has shoved me out of her life, my body still wants her. And as a cop there’s one thing I do best– get the job done.

Just when I form that thought, I hear a voice say, “So what do you think, Fullerton? You think you can do a better job than Brea here?”

My eyes jerk open but for a second I see nothing but the crowd of voyeurs in front of me. I blink. Focus. See her.

Claire.

Shock overrides everything else, but I force myself to appear claim. “Who the fuck is she, Jed?” I grit out. Even before Jed answers, I glance back at Claire.

Her gaze isn’t on me but on Brea’s face, shoved into my lap. Claire’s face is flushed, her eyes wide as saucers, and I see it—her excitement and arousal. The way she imagines taking Brea’s place.

A thunderbolt of pleasure hits me hard, making me grunt. I want to shove Brea away and push Claire’s head down until she swallows my dick. I know the second I spear past her lips, I’ll come, shooting my load on her tongue and down her throat.

My cock jerks several times and—fuck!—it’s raining down on me. Seeing her face lit with desire, evidence of the kink I’ve always suspected she repressed, has me barreling towards orgasm so fast my vision blurs. But then Brea tightens her grip around the base of my cock, and the pressure acts like a cock ring, stopping the tide, so to speak. I caress her hair with gratitude, see the way Claire’s eyes narrow, and take a deep breath.

I’m going to figure out why she’s here. I’m going to get her out. And then, when she’s safe, I’m going to give us both what we need.

EXCERPT:
…Jed propelled Claire past the crowd, dragging her toward the front of the room until she was standing no more than five feet from Ty.

Even then, he was too distracted to notice her.

Hard to blame him. Even she was mesmerized.

The blonde was moving her hand up and down his massive cock as she continued to suck him. Ty’s eyes were open but they were fixed on what the woman was doing to him, his eyes half-hooded and his fingers still tangled in her hair. But Claire noticed he wasn’t saying anything. In fact, he wasn’t making any sound. The contrast to how he’d sounded when he’d touched her months earlier, after police officials had arranged for them to meet, was marked. She’d been supposed to prep him for his undercover assignment, but that had led to more intimate acts. The memory of his gravelly voice wafted around the room, reminding her that he had been far from silent the night they’d almost made love.

That’s it, baby. Let me make you feel good.

Give it to me, Claire. Give me everything you have.

But he hadn’t always been so articulate. When she’d stroked him with her palm, he’d groaned his pleasure unabashedly, instructing her with hot, guttural, broken words where to touch him and how hard.

No, he wasn’t a reticent lover, but she had to remember this wasn’t Ty. The person sprawled before her was the cop, not the man. The one doing his “duty” while others, herself included, got off on it.

“So what do you think, Fullerton?” Randall taunted. “You think you can do a better job than Brea here?”

As soon as Randall said her name, Ty’s gaze jerked to hers. He blinked, as if struggling to focus his vision. Then, unlike his partner Luke, Ty couldn’t quite suppress the surprise that flashed across his face. It took a few seconds, and no one but her probably noticed, but he deliberately forced his expression to go blank, then annoyed. He glared at Randall. “Who the fuck is she, Jed?” he gritted out.

The blonde’s head didn’t stop bobbing for one second.

As Ty’s gaze once more landed on Claire, a conflagration of heat spread from the tips of her toes to between her thighs and then to her extremities. She actually shuddered, and it made her remember just how strong and unique her body’s response to Ty was. Watching Randall fuck the woman outside had given her a buzz of pleasure, but it had been nothing compared to this.

Randall laughed, the crude sound jarring her out of her thoughts. “Finish first. Then we’ll talk.”

Finish?

Despite the arousal making her body tingle, her mind automatically rebelled. Knowing what Ty was doing was one thing. Watching him and imagining she was the one pleasuring him was something else. But witnessing as he finished with another woman’s mouth on him? No.

Her denial was a confusing, mingled mess of contradictions. Possessiveness made her want to body slam the blonde away from him. Yet she also feared that if she actually watched Ty finish, no matter who it was that was getting him off, she’d come right along with him. And how she would survive that embarrassment she didn’t know.

But if she fought, Ty might be forced to break his cover, and she knew how important it was to him to bring the gang down. Ty suspected Hoyt had ordered the death of one of his best friends. And even if it wasn’t true, regardless of what she’d witnessed the past few days and whether she thought Randall was truly dangerous or not, she knew Hoyt was dangerous, and that the gang engaged in criminal activity and needed to be stopped.

She couldn’t risk jeopardizing any progress the cops had been making.

So she did the only thing she could do. She closed her eyes and turned her head away.

Claire gasped when hard fingers grabbed her jaw and jerked her head around.

“Keep your eyes on them, Ms. Fullerton. After all, you might learn something. Consider it research.”

When she refused to open her eyes, Randall yanked her hair again, this time cranking her head back so far that she cried out in pain. Real fear swept through her, brief but intense. Her eyes flashed open, automatically locking on Ty’s.

Fury flared in his gaze. His muscles tensed. He looked like he wanted to chop off Randall’s hand and feed it to him, and as much as she wanted to let that happen, she also knew they were stuck. There was nothing they could do without blowing Ty’s cover. So she mouthed “no” then snapped, “Get on it with it then.”

The woman on her knees still enthusiastically sucked Ty’s cock. Claire could tell by Ty’s ragged breathing that he was close to the edge. She kept her eyes locked on his rather than watch what the woman was doing to him. He never looked away from her. In fact, she, rather than the sensations he was experiencing, seemed to be his sole focus. His breathing grew even more ragged. He released the woman’s hair and placed his clenched fists on his thighs. Then, muscles trembling, he tilted his head back, closed his eyes, and let out a long, guttural moan as he came. The sound shivered through her body and straight to the hot spot between her thighs. Ty sounded so much like he had on the night they’d been together that she couldn’t help it. She shivered and creamed her panties.

She knew without a shadow of a doubt that when he’d closed his eyes and made the sound, he’d been feeling the pleasure given to him by another woman, but he’d been thinking of Claire.

Dirty Love Letters, A Contest
by R.G. Alexander on Feb 11th, 2011 46 Comments »

RG The Smutty V-Day Cupid: We celebrate love of one variety or another every day here on Smutketeers, so you knew we would jump at any excuse. Valentine’s Day gives one to us in a shiny, heart-shaped box of goodness way.

As you all know, the word Valentine comes from the latin for 1. “to diddle” 2. “to eat chocolate while naked” or 3. “To eat chocolate off of someone naked before you diddle”  Saint ToDiddle, who later changed his name so as not to be confused with The Patron Saint of Art, ToDoodle, taught the world that love is really all we need. He showed the people of his day by example using jell-o and a form of dance very similar in style to the electric slide. There is also a little known tradition that marks this day–the precursor of the 3 am booty call and the short, no foreplay form of sexting–the dirty love letter.

This is the tradition we honor here today in our Dirty Love Letter Contest.  All weekend long, we want to spread the love. The dirty love (just a little dirty) Read the blog, then post your own mini love letter to any one of the heroes written by us: Crystal Jordan, Lilli Feisty, Eden Bradley/Eve Berlin, Karen Erickson and R.G. Alexander. (on the off chance you haven’t read any of us…you can make something up, we don’t handle rejection well lol)

The winner, who we’ll announce on Tuesday, will receive this beautiful steampunky necklace:

Here-we’ll start you out :)


Dear Trevor,

I think you’re overlooked when it comes to my lineup of heroes and I want to rectify that by focusing on you today. Not that I feel sorry for you, oh no. You are a man who knows how to hold your own. Cocky and confident and sexy and dominant (I’m a poet!), the ladies and the men don’t stand a chance.

But your heart belongs to Scarlett. You’ll do anything to make her happy—and to make her yours. Did I mention how sexy I think that is?

Yes, my dearest Trevor, I think you’re very, very sexy. But ssh, don’t tell Scarlett. She might kick my ass.

Love & kisses,

Karen

Tangled can be found at Samhain, Amazon and Barnes & Noble

My darling Ever,
Dare I say it…? You are my favorite vampire (don’t tell Aleron and the rest-it’ll be our little secret). There’s something about the way your long blond hair falls around your shoulders when you let it loose. The way your mouth turns dark red, your black eyes glittering, when you’re turned on. I feel that banked power-the danger of it-when you’re aroused. And you’re always aroused, aren’t you? A girl’s dream-lover. Dangerous and sensual and ever-lasting…ever and ever…My Ever, except that you always want to be shared. But for you, I’m willing. Especially since you share with Aleron, Calam, Konstantine, Luka…*shiver*
Everlasting kisses,
Eden

But then there’s Alec…
Dear Alec,
Um…sir…I didn’t know when I wrote PLEASURE’S EDGE that I’d fall so hard for a Dom of my own creation. But that just means you’re the perfect dominant for me, doesn’t it? I adore every hulking muscle, how you love the thrill of your motorcycles as much as any thrill in bed or at the dungeons. And the way you spank…oh, yes, you have the hardest hands, the most rigid command-until you lose it all in a rush of desire that turns you into something primal, and all control is gone. *sigh*
Adoringly,
Eve

Pleasure’s Edge is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Borders.

Dearest Kesuk,

Though I realize that Jain would probably kill me for writing a love letter to you, I have to confess that you’ll always be my favorite. You were my first shapeshifter hero, and you never really forget your first, do you?

Not only were you the first shifter I ever wrote, but you were also the story that got me into a New York publishing house. For that alone, you have my undying adoration. But how can I forget the way you started me down this road to shifter depravity? I was shocked when you insisted on having anal sex with your heroine against the side of a mountain. Little did I know that this was only the beginning and such exploits would seem tame as I continued writing smutty shifters. I had no idea then that I would one day write threesomes and foursomes of every imaginable gender combination.

Yes, Kesuk, I owe it all to you for starting me down this slippery slope of filth and naughtiness. Thank you.

All My Love,
Crystal

In Ice can be found in Sexy Beast V at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Borders.


Dear Bone Daddy,

I love Damon from Lifting the Veil because he was my first love, my first hero.  Lux from Lux in Shadow because he was tortured. Saint…well because he was a f&*#ing demon :)…but you…you top them all. You snuck into my mind and tricked me. I thought you were just a sexual creature, something to be enjoyed but never understood. And you were sexy, but you were so much more. Funny, complicated, trouble making in the best kind of way. You took me places I’d never imagined going…and you made me love it.

I know I could never compete with Bethany in your heart. After all, you’ve loved her for lifetimes. But I will still look for you, look into those glowing amber eyes and wish, secretly, that I could be the one to say, “I want you Bone Daddy.”  Because…and don’t tell my husband…I do.

Yours in lust,

RG

Possess Me is available at Amazon, Barnes & Noble and Borders.

ADDITION!! We have a winner of the necklace-DANA M

However, due to her incredibly thorough and beautifully written love letters to so many of the Smutketeers heroes…we had to add a little prize for 2nd place to ******* IVELISSE!!!

Enthusiasm definitely counts :)

Congratulations to both of you!!
