The Shirtless Male Cover Reads

 

The Shirtless Male Covers

Back in the day, men who read magazines like Hustler and Penthouse would always mention how the articles were what they really wanted to see, not the beautiful women gracing the pages. I guess you can say that some readers feel the same way. After all, these hunky male cover models have nothing to do with it. *wink, wink*

Blurb:

She has everything she wants but time.

He has everything he wants but her.

Hanging on by a thread, first-year resident, Maggie Watson doesn’t need anything added to her plate. With a lead doctor always on her case, suffocating family expectations, and a schedule that leaves little time for sleep—the last thing she needs is a distraction. Especially in the striking form of Cam Chase, who stirs feelings in her she has no time for. He’s maddening and vain, but he’s also sweet and tender and despite her best efforts, she finds him taking the lead role in her fantasies. One kiss threatens to upend the delicate balance her life requires.

Cam Chase’s infamously charmed life has everything he could ever want on the surface. Handsome and likeable, he’s had all the money, women, and fame one could want. But when his father steps down from the charter jet company he built and leaves it in the hands of his brother Carter, Cam realizes he wants more. Lost and unsure where to look, he finds his purpose where he least expects it—reading to young patients under the watchful eye of Maggie Watson. She makes him want to be a better man and once he knows what he wants, he’ll do anything to prove to her and his family that he is worthy of their trust.

 

Excerpt 

“Hi there, Dr. Watson.” Cam came to a stop a few steps away from her because he didn’t trust himself to keep his hands off her. Everything in him wanted to reach out and touch her. He remembered how soft her cheek was in the elevator that morning, how good her body had felt when he’d pulled her into his arms.

Maggie gave him a smile he’d never seen before; it was full of desire and confidence and, fucking hell, it made his heart pound. “Hi.”

For the first time in his life, Cam struggled to find something to say, but it didn’t matter, because before he knew what was happening, Maggie stepped forward, grabbed the front of his T-shirt with her fist, and tugged him down for the single hottest kiss he’d ever experienced. It was quick and hard, with just a hint of her divine tongue, but it made the entire room spin.

Cam stared at her when she let him go, instantly wanting more of that, more of her, more of anything she could give him. All he could do was grin at her.

“I’ve been wanting to do that for so long,” she admitted with a giggle, grabbing his hand. “Come on, dance with me.”

Blurb:

Welcome to Woodvalley Pines…where hunky firefighters save the day! It’s time to turn up the heat and hope this smokin’ hot fireman can control the blaze.

Libby hadn’t even been in Woodvalley Pines a day and she was already freaking out. Her kitchen had just set on fire. From toast of all things! That’s right, she was the victim of the elusive toaster fire. Yes, a toaster. Who knew they could just spontaneously burst into flames? She certainly didn’t. If that wasn’t enough to ruin her day, a swarm of hot firefighters seeing her in her pink pajamas would do it.

Zach tried his hardest not to laugh as the woman in the Disney pajamas accused him of keeping toaster fire safety a secret. He didn’t know where in the world this angry green-eyed princess had come from, but he had to admit that he was intrigued. After all, if she had this much passion when it came to talking toasters, what other kind of flames could he stoke in her?

Libby and Zach’s spark was instant, but will the fire burn out or can they keep the flames blazing?

 

Isobel Reed’s snarky humorous romances have fans fanning themselves as they devour the stories. Her books are one-clicks for readers who love Lori Wilde’s - The First Love Cookie Club and Jennifer Ryan’s - At Wolf Ranch books. Readers will struggle not to fall for the sexy small town heroes and the sassy women who claim them!

 

Quote

How does a frigging toaster just spontaneously combust?

 

Was this a thing? How was it possible she’d gone thirty-one years of her life without knowing toasters could just set alight whenever they damn well felt like it?

 

People should really talk about this. Spread the word far and wide. Beware of the toaster. It may look innocent, but it will burn your house to the ground when you least expect it. Why the hell weren’t more people talking about this?

 

It was starting to get smoky now. She needed to get herself together. Quick. At least she’d stopped screaming. Well, externally, anyway.

 

“Get your sh** together,” she mumbled before stumbling back into the living area behind her. The front door was just to the left of the main room.

 

Time to go. Come on, move Libby. Move.

 

She didn’t move. Her feet were glued to the floor. Suddenly, she heard a knock on the door. Was it a neighbor? Or was it the firefighters? Did firefighters knock?

 

She clearly didn’t react fast enough because the next thing she knew, a battering ram had made its way into her living room. 

 

As men in uniform descended, she was still yet to move.

 

“Ma’am, you need to come with me, it’s not safe in here.” As she lifted her head, she realized the man’s fierce blue eyes were directed her way. Boring into her. Oh dear. He did not look happy.

 

Probably ‘cause you stood here staring at the fire like a freak instead of getting the hell out like the nice lady told you.

 

Jolting in awareness, she quickly nodded and allowed herself to be led outside by the big, strong man. 

 

Once he’d steered her through the front yard, he gestured for her to sit on the curb. She did so without question, wincing as her bare legs grazed the cool concrete. Internally, she cringed as she looked down at what she was wearing.

 

They probably see women in pajamas all the time, right?

Blurb:

The Nights are Hotter in Africa…

When Erica Knight arrives in Lebombo Game Reserve for her first African safari she has no idea that her life is about to be changed forever. As an executive for a mining company she believes that negotiating the mining rights for the Lebombo Reserve will be a slam-dunk, but she didn’t count on locking horns with the reserve’s enigmatic owner, Jean-Luc de Graaf.

In the heart of a wild African landscape full of beauty and danger, Erica and Jean-Luc both stubborn and passionate find themselves on opposite sides of an escalating conflict. With the Reserve threatened by vicious poachers and runaway fires, they are thrown together unable to contain the scorching attraction between them.

Far away from the rat race of New York Erica feels the stirring of a different drum, ancient and irresistible. But surrendering to the wild would mean she would have to submit to the powerful attraction to Jean-Luc and she isn’t ready to give up control just yet…

 

EXCERPT

A slight breeze stirred, and despite the fires, Erica found herself shivering in her thin sweater.

“I think I’ll just go back to my room and grab a jacket.”

She stood up, and so did Jean-Luc.

“Fine,” he said. “I’ll just grab my rifle.”

Erica had forgotten that because out past the dining area, the camp was unfenced, guests were forbidden to walk around alone after dark and had to be accompanied by an armed ranger. She picked up her backpack while Jean-Luc took his rifle out of its case.

“This way.” He ushered her out of the boma and onto the path toward her room.

She shuddered slightly as his hand touched the sensitive area of her upper arm. “Wait, what is that noise?” she asked.

They both paused mid-route. Across the still night, they stood motionless, and listened to a strange, throaty growling sound, followed by a kind of deep bark.

“Lions,” said Jean-Luc casually. “Sounds like they’re mating.”

“Really?” asked Erica. “I thought lions hunted at night.”

“Actually, during mating season, they will have sex for three days. For all of that time, they don’t hunt, or even sleep.

Don’t worry—they are actually quite far off. When lions are near, I can smell them. You are perfectly safe.”

Erica felt safe from the lions, with a six-foot-four armed ranger at her side. But was she safe from the ranger? Or more to the point, was she safe from the desire she felt building in her at every second?

 

I rest my case... it's the amazing story inside. It's why we read books like this. 
Or maybe it is the cover!

Until Next Month,

What are you reading?

 

Fall and the onset of cooler temps usually brings out the desire to curl up with a good book. I recently took stock of my bookshelves and discovered more unread volumes than I realized I had. This wasn’t totally from impulse buying on my part, although that’s been a problem in the past. My late parents were avid readers and I fell heir to an extensive collection. I’m well stocked with everything from Erle Stanley Gardner to Robert B. Parker, along with classics by Hemingway, Steinbeck and Twain. There are a few Ian Flemings and Mickey Spillanes in there, too. Who needs the public library when I have all of these within arm’s reach? This was a good excuse for me to start reading again.

 

One of the volumes I chose is an omnibus containing classic thrillers and crime stories. I’m starting with “The Moving Target” by Ross McDonald. This award-winner from 1948 introduced his private eye character Lew Archer, who was the protagonist in a long-running series. The book was made into the Paul Newman film “Harper.” I wanted to see how many differences there were between the book and screen versions, besides changing the main character’s name for some unknown reason. So far, I haven’t been disappointed.

 

I don’t usually get into true crime books, but I made an exception when I bought “Death as a Living,” a first effort by Doyle Burke. Burke is a retired homicide detective with the Dayton (Ohio) Police Department who dished the dirt on some of his cases. He launched his book at a local indie store that also hosts me on occasion, so I dropped in to meet him and get a signed copy. In reading some of his reminiscences, I got an eerie feeling of nostalgia when I thought “Hey, I remember that murder!” I think I’ve been writing crime thrillers for too long.      

 

I’m nearly done reading a neat cozy-type mystery called “Nine Tenths of the Law,” by my friend Claudia Hagadus Long. My connection with Claudia is that she’s my long-time editor and favorite collaborator. Her story is an intriguing tale of a family’s discovery of a religious artifact that was thought to have been lost or stolen during the Holocaust, and their efforts to get it back.    

 

I’m continuing my quest to catch up with books by Nelson DeMille. I enjoy his style of storytelling, and next on my list is his thriller “The Gate House.” DeMille’s work poses an interesting dilemma, because when there’s been a movie adaptation, his books haven’t been translated well. I remember the film “The General’s Daughter”--loved the book, didn’t like the movie. Part of it may have been because John Travolta was miscast as an Army investigator from the deep south, with a drawl that was more Bronx than Bayou.

      

Carl Hiaasen is another fave, and I discovered some of his books that I hadn’t read. I’m changing that, starting with “Nature Girl.” Hiaasen is kind of an acquired taste, because you can’t always tell if he’s trying to be serious or flip. One of his contemporaries in the Florida lighthearted crime fiction scene, the late Tim Dorsey, makes it clear that he’s pulling your leg. I’m currently reading his book “Hurricane Punch.” I once had the pleasure of sharing the stage with Dorsey at an author gathering in Key Largo, and he was just as funny in person as he is in print. 

   

Robert B. Parker and his Spenser private eye mysteries are what I call comfort reading, and I have a number of those to choose from. The one I’m currently reading is “Cold Service.” I recently read his completion of Raymond Chandler’s unfinished final novel, “Poodle Springs,” featuring Phillip Marlowe. Chandler’s estate chose Parker to complete it in Chandler’s style, then allowed him to write another Marlowe mystery, “Perchance to Dream.” That was a good read, too.  

    

An old paperback I found at a yard sale has already provided some surprising literary insights. “The Godfather Papers and Other Confessions” by Mario Puzo is a collection of essays and stories he wrote for magazines in the ‘60s. Puzo devoted one chapter in this collection to his most popular novel and the epic film adaptation. I was surprised to learn that despite “The Godfather” being his most successful book, it wasn’t his favorite, and he didn’t understand what all the fuss was about. He revealed that he only wrote it because his previous books, while critically acclaimed, hadn’t been commercially successful, and he was deeply in debt. His agent suggested that since Mafia stories sold well, perhaps he should write one of those.

 

I think the books currently occupying my reading table will keep me busy for the next few months. If not, I can check out something else from my home library.

You Are Not Alone

 


You Are Not Alone

“When we want to write, sometimes the blank page stares back like a judgemental enemy or a white-washed wall. But what if the page isn’t blank to start with?” --Maria Berg

Writers at all levels may struggle with feeling stuck, lacking motivation, and battling self-doubt when faced with a blank page. People who feel pressure to meet external expectations or who suffer from imposter syndrome may find it difficult to overcome these barriers.

What would I know about this?

I am a hybrid author with a catalog of self-published works (fiction and poetry) and stories published in small press anthologies. I am a professional freelance editor. 

Since first grade, I have written poetry and stories. Throughout the years, I have primarily created for catharsis or my own enjoyment. My first attempt at professional publishing in 2007 was a terrible experience, and I quit writing. In 2012, I began writing again, assuming I would create nothing but fan fiction or poetry. When I became disabled, I decided to try publishing again.

My ADHD brain's constant chatter leads to prolific verbal output. In theory, this might indicate that I would excel at writing competitions such as NaNoWriMo, but that is not the case. I thrive when I work on multiple projects. Until I changed my strategy, every project I created for The Word-Based Writing Competition That Must Not Be Named was irredeemable crap. 

For the past several years, rather than trying to churn out one linear novel-length book by barfing out words to reach a specific numerical goal, I shove everything I write during the month into one horrible, never-to-be-published document that exists only for word count purposes. This yields severable viable projects at the end of November rather than one steaming pile of word salad. I do not intend to delve into the politics of the current NaNoWriMo situation. I'm simply using this well-known word count-based competition as an example.

Most writing advice is geared toward people with brains that function the "normal" way, not weirdos like me with heads full of squirrels and trauma. I've always been ashamed that my imagination spins out subplots like a spider on LSD rather than a spider that abstains from mind-altering substances. I'm working on not only accepting my spider on LSD synapses but also being proud of what they weave.

I rarely have difficulty coming up with ideas. My problem is developing ideas that aren't entirely out of control. I've also learned that being verbally prolific isn't the sole trait necessary for creating an enjoyable story. Even though I can work with words, I have blind spots. Since my audience is not in my head to get the inside scoop on my stories, they may find themselves lost. Another common criticism I receive is that my work is technically proficient but lacks emotion. The challenge comes in accepting such critique without taking it personally or interpreting it as "your writing stinks."

Those who were frequently shamed during childhood often struggle with criticism. ADHD remains misunderstood in modern times. It was never even discussed during my school years. I didn't even realize I had the condition until I was in my fifties.

Throughout my life, I have always assumed that I was wrong, stupid, and irreparably damaged. Teachers constantly admonished me to pay attention. At twelve years old, I was branded borderline retarded because of a low score on a pattern recognition test. I received this label despite possessing advanced reading comprehension and writing abilities. I find it difficult to accept criticism of something that, for me, is more than just a creative exercise. Without my stories, I would not be here preparing to celebrate my twentieth birthday for the third time.

I often turn to word and picture prompts to control my overflow of ideas. A blog called The Daily Spur offers a creative prompt every day, and I recommend it as an effective strategy against the blank page.

https://thedailyspur.wordpress.com/

In October, I learned that for me, too much planning leads to overcomplicating things, resulting in a story that is all outline, never to be written. Still, I'm not a pure pantser. I need a basic structure before diving into a story. 

A technique that works for one writer may not be appropriate for another. Stephen King is one of my favorite authors, but I would tear my hair out if I emulated his writing process. For one thing, I need a window to look out of, or I quickly start feeling like I'm being kept prisoner. 

Whatever does the trick to break free from writer's block is A-OK. It need not be what works for me. It does not have to be what works for Stephen King or your favorite author. Find what feels right and let it guide you to success.

Happy Release Day to Ellen Mint on November 5th, 2024!

 

Good Morning to you!

Another month has slipped by and the scent of Christmas has arrived in our home due to the baking of special cakes this past week! Certain Christmas desserts require soaking in brandy for a considerable period of time to bring out their best flavor and it's always worth it!😀 And a taste or two for the baker is only fair, right?!

It's such a grand time of the year with holiday movies already scheduled and arriving on the heels of Thanksgiving shows in Canada where I live. The special holiday arrives much later in the United States.

This month a fellow writer has a new release I would like to feature. MAGIC by Ellen Mint is being released this week, November 5th. 



Magic by Ellen Mint

All good worlds must come to an end.

Buy Link: 

https://books2read.com/magiccod

Layla’s lost everything. Her home is gone, her men could all be dead, and Conquest has her. Everything’s gone to hell, literally. The Horseman’s broken down the barrier keeping the demons from breaking into the world. It’ll only be a matter of days before the rest of the universe goes with it.

If, somehow, Layla can escape from the clutches of the personification of Conquest, she’ll have to sacrifice herself to save the world. Whoever cuts off magic from Earth will have to die—that’s what Death told her. But what happens if she does? Will witches become normal women, or will they die? What about all the other creatures touched by magic? Those who’ve been banished to Earth and created new lives could lose if she succeeds.

Yet, she knows if she fails, billions will perish.

She’s been beaten, betrayed, but not broken. Even trapped in a dollhouse of her greatest enemy, Layla refuses to give in. She knows her guys are alive, and if she can escape from Conquest, she’ll give them hell for making her worry.

Holidays on the Horizon by Janet Lane Walters #MFRWHooks #BWLAuthor #Holidays #Writing

 

Another month has arrived. At present I'm busily working on a new book in a new Series The Writer's House. In the area where I live, there was and still may be a house that rented space to various membrs of the Arts community. This new series takes place in a house where the authors can find a space to write and not be bothered by family and other diversions.

Valentina Hartley is the heroine. She is new to town and goes to an evening lecture on Ideas for Writing Your Book. When the lecture is finished, Val who does research at present for college professors leaves to find the foyer, porch and parking lot lights out. She stumbles over the body of a dead man. His throat has been slit. She is helped to stand by her new friend who has a half house she can rent to bring her son and mother to town. At present she is living in a warehouse her business partner has rented.

Kyle Bradley a detective on the local police force is a widower. His sister, Dana has given up her position as a nurse to care for his son following the boy's mother's death. The dead man is a mystery. Fairly new to town, he has taken the horror writing community by storm, His origins are mysterious.

Thus the story begins and hopefully will be solved. But can the murderer be caught?

How do the holidays fit in. They are there since I need to have the book to my publisher before Christmas. The holidays will be busy this year.

Damned If You Do cover

BDSM Paranormal Romance (Novella)

Wendy Dennison is tired of being a starving author. The royalties from her critically acclaimed romance novels barely pay her bills. Her devoted agent Daniel Rochester may be smart and sexy, but he can't get her the sales she needs. Then a charismatic stranger appears at her coffee shop table, promising her fame and commercial success, as well as the chance to live out her dreams of erotic submission. But at what cost?

Nothing you can't afford to lose, my dear.

Seduced by the enigmatic Mister B, she signs his infernal contract. He becomes both her Master and her coach, managing her suddenly flourishing career as well as encouraging her lusts. Under her mentor’s nefarious influence, she surrenders to temptation and has sex with Daniel. The casual encounter turns serious when she discovers her mild mannered agent has a dominant side. As the clock ticks down to her blockbuster release and Mister B prepares to claim her soul, Wendy must choose either celebrity and wealth, or obscurity and true love.

FFSG cover

Paranormal Polyamory (Novel)

A tragically attractive vampire, a hunky wolf-man and a skeptical but susceptible career gal. What could possibly go wrong?

Bianca Sorenson understands obsession. Her phenomenally successful Vamp magazine feeds the popular fascination with the undead. The city is full of fanatics who want to believe vampires are real. Bianca knows that’s a fantasy. Then a blond, blue-eyed blood drinker walks into her office looking for a model’s job and turns her universe upside down. Jim Bush hasn’t been a vampire for long, but his terrible history and seductive hunger undermine Bianca’s single-minded ambition and her cherished self-control.

Trying to escape from Jim’s disturbing influence, she collides with a shaggy giant of a man whose mere presence inspires irresistible lust. When Zack Kane reveals that he’s a wolf shifter and claims Bianca as his mate, she finds herself on the horns of a supernatural dilemma. How can she resolve her feelings for her two mutually hostile lovers while defusing a city-wide conflict between the vampire clique and the werewolf pack?

Fans of Twilight: get ready for a wilder ride than you ever imagined!

Coming in Costume cover

BDSM Menage Romance (story collection)

No costume can hide who you really are

When her dominant husband Greg proposes that they attend a company Halloween gala, Isabella is too excited to be suspicious. Unlike her introverted master, she adores parties and dressing up. Greg provides the perfect costumes―a schoolgirl and her stern professor―outfits that are not too revealing or risqué while still celebrating the nature of their relationship. Only after they arrive at the party does Bella learn her Dom has planned a kinky, semi-public scene involving both pain and pleasure―a Halloween masque that includes a starring role for Greg’s best friend James.

This volume includes two bonus stories featuring the same characters. In Silver Bells, Greg gives his long-time friend James a spectacular Christmas gift―Isabella’s body and obedience. In On the Beach, the two dominants join forces to chastise Bella for her lack of self-control in coming without permission―and to reward her for her willing surrender.

https://www.lisabetsarai.com/comingincostumebook.html

 

Rendezvous cover

Paranormal Erotic Romance (story)

I am who I am, and I know what you want.

Rebecca believes in magic. She has never lost her childhood love of Halloween, when she can don a costume and step away from her boring, ordinary self. For one night, she transforms into someone else – someone mysterious, daring, sensual and seductive.

When All Hallow’s Eve finds her stranded at a seedy motel a hundred miles from her friend's annual party, she is desperately disappointed. Then she discovers that her room is haunted by the invisible but unquestionably virile ghost of a rake who seduced local women nearly half a century earlier.
