on Feb 15th, 2012 Thanks to the Smutketeers for having me over today! I always love dropping by and indulging my naughty side. Sadly, that side of me garners more cobwebs than spotlight time. *grin*
But we’ll talk about naughty business in a bit. First, I want to tell you about my new release FOREIGN AFFAIR. It’s kind of a ‘vacation fling’ romance. Lots of travel around Europe, some humor, and of course a steamy seduction.
Revenge can be sweet…and oh so sexy.
Lena Richards’s whirlwind vacation to Europe with a friend is a welcome chance to shake her pre-wedding jitters—until she learns her high-school sweetheart is cheating on her, Hawaiian-style. Figuring all’s fair, she indulges in a fling of her own with a sexy New Yorker she meets in Amsterdam whose kiss blows her mind—and the lid off her hormones.
Tyler Bentz is wary that the petite bombshell, who only a short time ago insisted their one kiss must never happen again, has done a complete 180. His questions only make it clear she’s interested in probing of the sexual kind. Who is he to turn her down?
As they burn their way across Europe, something shifts, and it’s not just the earth moving with their exploding passion. Lena begins to realize what it really means to fall in love. And Tyler finds himself tumbling hard and fast.
EXCERPT:
Lena stared at him, her gaze boring into his. For a moment she could have sworn she heard the music to “Let’s Get It On” in her head.
She’d done it. She was actually here in Tyler’s hotel room. And, damn, he looked good. Even though he wore a fluffy hotel robe, she could see the hard muscles of his chest and smattering of hair.
“Lena?” He straightened up a bit, and his brows drew together. “Hang on. You don’t look so good. Are you okay? Why don’t you come in?”
She stepped through the door and past him, but didn’t trust herself to speak. She kept her back to him and went outside on the balcony, taking a moment to look down at the city below. The air hit cold against her lungs, but she didn’t mind too much.
“Answer me. What’s wrong?” He came up behind her and placed a gentle hand on her shoulder.
His touch ignited her already simmering desire for him. If she didn’t do this now, she’d chicken out. She took a deep breath and spun around, grabbing his robe and jerking him to her.
“Easy—” He broke off when she grabbed his head and stood on her tiptoes, pulling his mouth down to hers.
Her tongue plowed between his lips and came up against his. His body went rigid, and for a moment she wondered if he’d push her away. Then his hands settled against her waist, and he backed her up against the guardrail.
She stroked her tongue over his, pulling open his robe and running her fingers through his chest hair.
He gave an approving laugh and pulled his mouth away from hers. Lena groaned as his lips settled against the wild pulse in the curve of her neck.
Keep the control. If he takes control, you’ll be emotionally vulnerable.
She squirmed away and pushed him back from her, moving forward so he had no choice but to back up into the room.
“I’m sorry.” He frowned. “If this is moving too fast for you—”
When the back of his knees encountered the bed, she tackled him, knocking him backward onto the mattress. She reached out a hand and slid it into his boxers, wrapping it around a—oh my—pretty damn big erection.
Tyler’s eyes closed, and his loud groan sent a tremble of excitement through her. Keith had never given such an intense reaction to her touch.
“Hang on, Lena.” He shook his head as he held her away from him, giving her a suspicious glance. “This morning you were pretty adamant that we shouldn’t even have kissed. Now… What’s going on?”
Lena froze, and heat flooded her cheeks. “What’s going on? I would think it’s pretty obvious—”
“Well, yeah, it is.” He moved away from her. “But I just don’t want you to rush into anything you’re going to regret.”
Nearly two feet of space separated them now, and his gaze roamed over her, but she saw wariness in his eyes as well.
“Lena, I like you. Enough that I don’t want to feel like an asshole in the morning for taking advantage of you. Are you sure you want to do this?”
Argh. Could he make this fling thing any more complex?
“I’ll be blunt. I am trying to seduce you here. I am a woman who is blatantly throwing herself at you. There shouldn’t even be an issue. So are you going to sleep with me, or do I have to find someone else who will?”
He blinked. “Are you drunk?”
Oh for the love of… “Why does everyone keep asking me that?” All the doubts came rushing back. Bad idea, Lena. You should have known it from the start.
“You know, forget it. I wanted you and had the crazy notion you wouldn’t mind getting me into bed, but apparently I was wrong.”
She’d almost made it to the door when he grabbed her by the waist and spun her around.
“Oh, I want you all right,” he said, his voice low and thick. He lifted her so her legs wrapped around his waist. “I just had to make sure you knew what you were doing.”

To be honest, I have a bit of an adventurer inside of me. I love having sex outside. Now, that can lead to people experiencing awkward situations. Once, I was in the woods just slightly off the path I had crazy sex up against a log..as I was getting my pants buttoned a group of boy scouts or cub scouts came by..my hair wild looking, my lips swollen, my lover at the time adjusting himself and pulling up his zipper…needless to say the staredown the group leader gave and the wink one gave. I have had sex in the car, gave head while going down the road, sex in a movie theater..
by Carla C February 15th, 2012 at 4:12 amI’m a bed kind of girl myself. Crazy places are usually uncomfortable. Like on top of my high school boyfriend’s parents dresser…that was REALLY uncomfortable!
Can’t wait to read this book!

by Tami February 15th, 2012 at 7:02 amThe hood of a Chevy. I wouldn’t recommend it. My back was killing me for days. To stay with your book’s theme, I’ve also gotten frisky in Paris, Venice, Rome, London and Barcelona.

by Pam S (pams00) February 15th, 2012 at 1:26 pmI am not much of an adventurer myself, so it was the cliched, backseat of a Pinto at a drive in theater, lol.

Lisa B
by Lisa B February 15th, 2012 at 3:54 pmOn top of a mountain just off the trail…that was with my ex though. I was way more kinky back then and we did it in all sorts of places. lol Never a fire truck though much to my dismay.

by KittyKelly February 15th, 2012 at 4:21 pmI’ve been with my husband since senior year in HS. He’s not big on public displays…We did have an roll in the car, while our friends walked the beach, and a cop came by and asked if that was another couple or a dog in the car!
The most risky, was when we wound up on his parents bed! The next day his Dad found my earing poking him in the back..opps 
by Gail S February 15th, 2012 at 4:40 pmOMG Shelli! I am typing this fast (sort of like saying it fast, then it doesn’t really count). A steam room at fitness center! There I said it!
I CANNOT wait to read this! And there is actually one left on that back list I need too! Hard to believe.
by Kim B February 15th, 2012 at 6:11 pmGracious, I am so boring. And not exciting, apparently! How about in every room in the house!
by Jen B. February 15th, 2012 at 6:23 pmBack in the dark ages (when I was dating a hockey player on my team-yes I played as well) we hung around the rink after practice, and sneaked back and found out ice isn’t all that cold sometimes, especially if you are really…creating lots of body heat. He was also rink manager, so we kind of had the place to ourselves mostly.

by Nancy Gilliland February 15th, 2012 at 8:26 pmShelli – the cover is amazing for Foreign Affair! And that excerpt – whew!
I haven’t been nearly as adventurous IRL as my dreams… recently I wore a short skirt, stockings, garter belt and crotchless panties while we were out at a bar. I had lots of fun torturing him with glimpses of my stocking and garter as well as, well, you can guess. We didn’t get frisky anywhere public, but we sure got revved up…
by Katherine February 15th, 2012 at 10:23 pmI. Am. Boring.
I am also currently unattached, could I still be part of the contest if I mentioned a naughty fantasy? Something I’d like to do but haven’t yet?
I um have read about couple that didn’t have enough patience and have had sex up against a wall or door and I’ve been curious as to what that would be like.
Steamy excerpt!
by Gabrielle J. February 15th, 2012 at 10:53 pmYes, you don’t have to have done anything! A fantasy works just as well! :D
by Shelli Stevens February 16th, 2012 at 12:38 pmI’ve never gotten frisky anywhere crazy, but my cousin is a member of the mile high club.
