Her book in the Smutketeers’ Wasteland series, WASTELAND: THE PRIESTESS, is holding strong at #8 on the MBaM Romance Futuristic list! The same hot dirty lovin’ we all adore about R.G.’s books, set in a post-apocalyptic future earth. Awesome!

Her first e-book for Samhain, TEMPT ME TWICE, is #99 on the Amazon Kindle Romance list! Another bi-menage. Do I see a theme here? Can I help it if I love seeing two men together?

Today we have authors Inez Kelley and Ginny Glass airing their Dirty Laundry right here at Smutketeers! So let’s give them a warm, smutty welcome…things are about to heat up in here…
What is your secret? What makes your body flush with heat, your eyes close in want, your hands tremble in suppressed longing? Do you crave a spanking? Do you dream of a stranger? Or do you fantasize about your best friend?
Eli dreams of taking her to the whisper-fine edge between pleasure and pain.
He’d never known the need to wring every ounce of capitulation from a woman, to orchestrate her surrender and give back tenfold in the reward of endless, mindless, rocket-hot pleasure. Until Bea.
Bea craves his touch… and his punishment.
Bea knew that there was something dark in Elijah— something that called to a near-constant hunger in her.
Grant uses her fantasy to achieve his own and takes his friend along for the titillating ride.
Something taboo, forbidden and tempting swelled in Grant’s chest. Her shared fantasy took on new life in his mind.
Vivi wants it all and will have them both.
The mysterious spice of Cade’s mouth lingered on Grant’s tongue, and he shared it with her. Vivi gorged on the blended tastes.
Beneath the darkest secrets lurk the deepest truths…
if you’re brave enough to confess them.
Dirty little secrets, dirty little lies, everyone has something to hide
Come take a spin with us, watch all our secrets come out in the wash
Come see our DIRTY LAUNDRY
We, along with Carina Press, are thrilled to present DIRTY LAUNDRY, three novellas that explore what happens when secrets are exposed and fantasies revealed.
We hope all your dirty laundry is as hot, as wet, and as steamy as ours!
One commenter between today(August 18th) and August 20th will win a very naughty Dirty Laundry Basket. No details (because the surprise is half the fun!) but let’s just say that this basket is enough to get you softened, lathered and rinsed in shivery good ways! Goodies that are hot, thick and batteries WILL be included! Mystery prizes, along with a copy of CC, TDTM and C/O in winner’s choice of formats.

I’m so excited to announce that my latest Samhain book, SUMMER SOLSTICE, has been released and is available now at MBaM, Amazon and other online outlets! SUMMER SOLSTICE
Book Three in the Celestial Seductions Series
This summer is going to be twice as hot…
The view from Leigh’s front porch was never this nice. In fact, her hunky new neighbor is sparking all kinds of naughty ideas about how to beat the heat. Much to her delight, the feeling is mutual—as long as they keep things light. Her divorce left her a little lonely, but far from needy.
Jared doesn’t plan to spend much time in his new place before jetting off on his next photojournalism assignment. Leigh’s classic, California blonde looks are any man’s fantasy. A little flirting, a little playful, neighborly car washing, and it isn’t long until their summer fling is in full swing.
Neither can imagine the sex being any hotter—until Jared’s sometime roommate and lover, Matteo, comes to town. In the arms of two men, Leigh brings her ultimate fantasy into scorching reality.
Jared revels in the chance to command his two lovers’ every move, but when he gets the call for his next overseas gig, he’s not so sure he’s ready for the fireworks to end. And even as Leigh gives her two lovers the most precious gift—their freedom—she wonders how she’ll find the strength to say goodbye.
Warning: Hot M/M/F ménage, sex in public places (sort of—read it and you’ll see!), every possible orifice filled (some simultaneously), a big, sexy, bossy alpha, an equally hot beta and a little spanking for good measure. Because let’s face it, who doesn’t need a little spanking now and then?
*** EXCERPT-Warning-X-rated!
“Jared…”
“What is it, darlin’?”
“Undress me, please.”
A small chuckle from him, then he pulled her dress over her head in one smooth motion. Matteo reached out and caressed one taut nipple with his fingertip.
“Beautiful breasts, Leigh. Damn perfect, really. I could write a song about them.”
She laughed, feeling freer than she ever had in her life, somehow. Powerful, desired by these two men.
“It’s true,” Matteo insisted, leaning forward and laying a soft kiss where his fingertip had been.
“Oh…”
Pleasure surged through her, her breasts aching, her lacy panties soaked. She was vaguely aware of Jared undressing behind her, but Matteo’s touch, his mouth, were making her crazy. His fingers were still stroking the undersides of her breasts as he feathered his lips over her nipple.
“Come on, Matteo,” she told him. Pleaded with him.
“I like that you’re eager,” he murmured.
“We’re just getting started,” Jared said, pulling her back, until she was reclining on his naked body.
He was a solid wall of flesh behind her—solid chest, tight abs, hard cock. His hand slid down between her thighs, his fingers teasing at the edge of her panties.
“Shall we take these off, Matteo?”
A sharp squeeze in her sex at the idea of being completely naked with them.
“Oh, yeah. Let me…”
Matteo sat up and ran both hands down over her sides, her thighs, and she parted them, wanting his touch, and Jared’s.
“You are eager,” Matteo said, smiling, his mouth soft and loose. He slid his fingers beneath the waistband and pulled down, slowly, slowly, his smile widening as her damp sex was revealed. “Ah, beautiful. You’re so wet already.” He pushed the scrap of lace down her legs. “I need to taste her, Jared.”
“Yes. Do it.”
Jared’s hands came around her, held her thighs, moving them wide apart. Then his hands slid in, until he reached her swollen pussy lips, and he held them open with his fingers. She was shaking, desire coursing through her like flame, scorching her.
“I love to feel your thighs shaking,” Jared whispered into her hair. “I love to see your nipples go dark and hard. I love to see you wanting. I’m going to love it even more when Matteo dives in and licks your sweet cunt. When he sucks on your hard little clit. When he makes you come in my arms.”
“Oh…”
She was too dizzy to speak. She could only watch with heavy-lidded eyes as Matteo did exactly as Jared had said he would. He leaned in, and his dark hair was like strands of silk on her thighs as he licked her, his tongue wet and impossibly hot. All the way up her slit, then down again. Gently, so softly it was driving her mad immediately. That, and the safety of Jared’s strong arms around her, his fingers hurting her a little as he held her open for Matteo’s searching mouth.
She could not believe this was happening. She could not believe how good this felt.
“I’m going to come.”
“Not yet,” Jared commanded. “Take a deep breath. For me. For us.”
She inhaled, held the air in her lungs. But Matteo never stopped, his tongue assaulting her, pushing into her now.
“Yes, that’s it, Matteo. Fuck her with your tongue.”
That hot tongue pushed deeper, slid out, then in again, the rhythm pure, wet pleasure.
“That’s so good, Matteo,” she murmured.
Her hips arched into his mouth, and Matteo’s hand moved around her waist, slipped behind her. Jared moaned as he shifted to let Matteo take his hard cock in his hand.
Jesus, she was really going to come.
“Jared…”
“Hold it back, my girl. I want him to stroke me. I want him to take us both to the edge.”
“Oh, God…”
*** CONTEST!!!!
I can’t have a book release without a contest to celebrate, so here it is:
Post about SUMMER SOLSTICE on your Facebook, Twitter, blog, or website, and be eligible to win one of two prizes! Just come back here and post, letting me know where you’ve talked about SUMMER SOLSTICE. But I also want to know what your reading preferences are: do you prefer twosomes, threesomes, moresomes?

Does it depend on the story?
Here are the prizes: Prize #1: copies of the first two books in my Celestial Seductions series, WINTER SOLSTICE and SPRING EQUINOX. Prize #2: A copy of my erotic menage story, TEMPT ME TWICE, along with my latest Harlequin Spice Briefs erotic train story, NIGHT MOVES!

I hope you’ll all SUMMER SOLSTICE! And visit me today on author Kelly L. Stone’s blog-I’ll be running another contest over there. I’ll also be on the Samhain Cafe Yahoo loop where I’ll be chatting with readers, as well as on the Novel Works Facebook page all day. I hope you’ll come by and visit!
R.G. Alexander’s first book for Berkley Heat, POSSESS ME, is coming out on August 3rd, and we’re SO excited! This is a beautifully told story of love, lust and possession-figuratively and literally. Here’s a li’l peek:
In the Big Easy, there’s a legend women long for: a sexual voodoo spirit who can fulfill their darkest fantasies. And in these three steaming-hot novellas, he helps three New Orleans couples achieve the ultimate satisfaction…
In Release Me, Allegra heads down to New Orleans to heal her wounds, but she never expects to lose her heart to such a quiet, troubled man as Rousseau. She’s even less prepared for the scorching, sexual spirit within him-and what he can do to her…
In Reclaim Me, Ben has loved Michelle as long as he can remember. But his beautiful artist has a way of running away from life-and what the pair could be. Leave it to the infamous spirit to help Ben prove to Michelle where she belongs: in his embrace…
In Redeem Me, it’s All Saints’ Day, the one day the voodoo spirit can walk the world in the flesh. When he bumps into Bethany, she might just be the reincarnation of a girl he once loved. Passion ignites, but can the couple overcome past mistakes and have a real chance at love?
To celebrate the release of POSSESS ME we’re having a countdown party, and some of our smutty author friends have been happy to participate! I asked them this question: Eden: I me want to know about that experience of being ‘possessed’. I don’t mean by a ghost, but rather that feeling you get when a man completely inhabits your every waking moment, you can’t stop thinking about him. Obsession. Raging desire. You know what I mean…
Here are the answers from some of the leading authors in erotic romance, and our dear friends:
“I can’t say I’m the sort of person who gets obsessed about anything apart from maybe my extreme devotion as a teenage to various pop/TV stars. But I love it when my characters become obsessed with their perfect match. There’s nothing like writing about that intense sexual need to possess someone entirely, to lick their skin, to be naked with them 24/7, to just want to be with them and breathe them in. As romance writers we get to write about that first taste of love, which is very often obsessive and makes for great sexy scenes.
My hero, Christopher Ellis in ‘Kiss of the Rose’ ends up becoming obsessed with the heroine, (in a good hot sexy way) and I loved watching him succumb to that most instinctive of states, and bearing in mind his history, his instincts are definitely unusual. ‘wink’”
Eden: I love that you address taste and scent-so much a part of that intense chemistry!
* * *
“The first time I was truly possessed was when I watched Thundercats. My family never owned cable, so I had limited access to “cool” stuff. I found Lion-O in his strappy onesy incredibly kinky. He had an innocence and a stupidity about his flowing mane most of the time, but when the chips were down, he could bulk up, get serious, and power into a man with a giant-ass sword. I was fifteen. And I was captivated by the whole world of isolation, natural paradise, psychic powers and technology. Now I’m all grown up and am writing kinky scifi-fantasy shapeshifters. They say you always remember your first. “
Eden: This reminds me of being a kid-maybe five years old-and I was in love with Kimba the White Lion (does anyone remember that cartoon?). Yes, he was a lion. And he was animated. Hey-I was five! But I totally get it, Mima. Although no lion shapeshifters for me…but never say never.
* * *
“Being possessed by a love is a full body experience. It’s like the object of your love permeates your soul, encompasses every heartbeat, gets into every cell and hums. Your bones tremble in tune with their voice. You taste them on the air, hear them in the wind. Being possessed by love is enthralling and makes you feel alive.”
~Inez Kelley, author of SALOME AT SUNRISE
Eden: I love how sensual your interpretation is. It’s like that for me, too-it can really take over the senses.
* * *
“Obsessive love makes you do things that you tell yourself you will never do. Things like driving past his house just to see if he’s home yet or sitting by the phone from 5 o’clock on because he said he’d call you “tonight”. Things like calling in sick to work because he decided he wants to go on an impromptu trip mid-week and you can’t stand to not be with him. You might even help him write his master’s thesis, just to help him get it done sooner. You are not a morning person, but you’ll let him in at 6am to spend some time with him before work. And if you could kiss him forever, you know it would be paradise. You forgive him for stuff you would tell your friend to dump her guy over. Things like that phone call to a “friend” on your hotel bill when checking out after your romantic getaway that wasn’t great or perhaps figuring out he’s actually in town on Valentine’s Day when he says he’s away and realising he’s with someone that’s not you. You believe him when he tells you that no one will love you like he loves you. And you believe the stories he tells you because he is your drug of choice. He is what wakes you up and makes you feel alive. His possession and this obsession will send you from the heights of ecstasy to the depths of Hell. And even after you get out, even after you are years away, your heart still picks up a pace when you think of him.”
Eden: Aw-yours is so sad. But true, too. *sigh* There can definitely be a dark side.
* * *
“Describing what it feels like to be possessed may be hard to describe. It’s such an elemental feeling, so consuming, I shiver to dive into the depths of it. Yet I will… The first time I saw my husband…
I saw him standing there with his booted feet crossed at the ankle. He wore tight jeans with a few rips, a t-shirt and a black leather vest, topped with a bad boy attitude that immediately commanded my attention. It begins with the shiver of awareness, that whisper dancing up my skin, making the small hairs stand at attention. My stomach clenches as heat radiates out from below my waist, sending slow pulses through my body, growing stronger as it travels outward.
My nipples pop like small pink diamonds, reacting to his raw sensuality and his nearness. My breath puffs out in short bursts as warmth seeps into every fiber of my body.
He turns to look at me and one corner of his mouth kicks up. I swallow the lump in my throat and step toward him, ready and willing, to be his.”
Eden: Oh, I love this! And I know that sensation, where your breath catches and you go hot all over…and after that moment, you can never stop thinking about him…
We’ll be celebrating all week, so be sure to check back for some awesome guest authors, giveaways, and more smutty fun! And remember, POSSESS ME is available for pre-order right now on Amazon , Barnes & Noble and Borders !
And now for a contest-because it wouldn’t be Smutketeers without some free books! Tell us about your moment of obsession or possession, and be eligible to win! One lucky winner will receive a signed copy of my erotic Shibari rope bondage novel, THE BEAUTY OF SURRENDER! The winner will be announced on August 2nd! All For Smut, and Smut For All!
Today we have the lovely and talented Tawny Taylor, author of smokin’ hot paranormal and erotic romance! Well, we aren’t having her, exactly…*wistful sigh*…but she is here visiting the Smutketeers today, so yay!
Her latest book, MASTER OF SIN 2: LUST’S TEMPTATION, was just released, so read on to find out more!
Ah, the word Sin.
Sin…
That’s a word that evokes a great many images, both good and bad, doesn’t it? A huge piece of decadently delicious German chocolate cake. Saying a gazillion rosaries on your knees on a cold stone floor (if you were raised Catholic like I was, I know what I’m talking about). Or, my favorite: a wickedly sexy man. Of course, I just love reading (and writing) about wickedly sexy men. And reading about a wickedly sexy, sinful man is even better. Better yet, how about two wickedly sexy sinful men…who do their sinning together :) Mmmmm…
They are the Masters of Sin.
For those of you who aren’t familiar with my Masters of Sin series, the premise is fairly simple. The spirit/demon of each of the seven deadly sins is split in two and hosted by two men (there are reasons for this, but I won’t go into here). While possessing the men, the demon gains some control over them, thus driving them to do terrible things until they meet a very special woman who has the power to silence it. The stories are on the dark side, showing the struggle the men face to control the almost overwhelming urges of the demon.
Troi and Amun—one dominant, the other submissive, both alpha—are possessed by the spirit of Lust. Its dark demands have tested their will every minute of every day for centuries. And they’ve committed deviant, selfish acts to satisfy its unrelenting carnal hunger. But the guilt doesn’t overwhelm them until they meet Oriel. She is their salvation, their peace. They need her. But they don’t deserve her.
Life’s lessons have taught Oriel not to trust anyone, especially gorgeous men who will use anyone for their own satisfaction. Granted, they’re sexy. Charming. Her body responds to their every look and touch. But she can’t—won’t—take a chance on them. Until she discovers she can run away, but she can’t escape the emotions they stir.
As darkness closes in, Troi and Amun’s lives and souls hang in the balance. The beast will consume them if Oriel can’t accept her own dark needs, and trust the two men who have summoned her most decadent desires.
Reader Advisory: This book contains same-gender sex, group sex, and various and sundry other deliciously wicked acts committed by two very naughty boys.
Pop Quiz: Who can name the Seven Deadly Sins? No cheating :)
And finally, a contest!
Lust’s Temptation, combines the eroticism you’d expect from a book with a title that contains the word Lust, along with a healthy helping of romance, and a little taste of a certain hobby of mine. You’ll get a hint if you read the excerpt HERE. Post your answer in the comments and everyone who answers correctly will be entered in a drawing for a gift box, containing a book or two from my backlist and some other goodies. A warning: it’s a little tricky; it isn’t clearly spelled out. If nobody answers correctly, we’ll still have a drawing. I’ll throw everyone’s name in the hat and pick the winner randomly (to clarify: only those who post a guess will be entered in the drawing). Winners will be announced here on Sunday evening, so be sure to check back!
Our friend David Bridger has a new release out, and we loved the title so much we had to post about this book! Beauty and the Bastard-how can you resist? Come on, you know you must have it…;)
Saul the Bastard is a fallen angel who works as a bounty hunter for powerful urban demon families. Rebecca Drake, a modern day demon princess, is being hunted by dangerous desert demons. When Rebecca’s family hires Saul to protect her, they are both unhappy with the arrangement, but before long sparks fly as they try to resist their strong mutual attraction. For the first time in living memory, Saul has someone to love; someone he is scared of losing; someone the desert demons have marked to be their next sacrifice.
What’s everyone up to this weekend? I’m at home, proofing the galleys for my first Eve Berlin book, PLEASURE’S EDGE, out in October from Berkley Heat! This is the last step in the editing process before the book goes to print, so it’s very exciting! This one is a contemporary BDSM-lots of sex and lots of romance, a more purely alpha hero than I usually write. I forgot how in love with Alec I was while writing this one…*sigh*
Am about to start the next book, DESIRE’S EDGE, about Alec’s hot lawyer friend, Dante. I can’t wait! But…the next in my Midnight Playground vampire series, THE TURNING KISS, is nagging at me. I wrote a few pages the other day and can’t stop thinking about it. One woman and three men-well, one man and two male vampires. Things are gonna get dirty! But I like it like that…*G*
All is quiet otherwise-just me and my computer. My b/f is out getting some new tattoo work today, so I’ve been home with the cats and my edits. But he’s taking me shopping tomorrow-one of my favorite past times and I still can’t believe I found a man who likes to shop-yay! That’s my big excitement this weekend. I’ll be traveling the next two, though-next weekend going to Palm Springs with the fabulous K.B. Alan (and have you read her book, BOUND BY SUNLIGHT yet?) for some R&R, then the following weekend my b/f and I will hook up (no-not like that, you dirty folks!) with fellow Smutketeer Crystal at ComicCon in San Diego-can’t wait to see her!
Oh-and don’t forget to check back here at the Smutketeers blog-we have an exciting few weeks coming up, with the release of RG’s TRULY SCRUMPTIOUS, guest blogger Tawny Taylor, and lots of fun stuff to get us all ready for the release of RG’s first New York book, POSSESS ME!
* * *
And now for the winners:
The winner of my e-book, BREAKING SKYE, is cories!
The winner of any one of their choice of R.G.’s backlist is Lindsey Ekland!
The winner of Jax’s DEVILS’ HEART and BRUSH STROKES is Sandie!
Winners, please email me at: eden_bradley@yahoo.com to collect your prizes-and congrats!
