Beverly Havlir’s EDUCATING EMILY released from Ellora’s Cave last February 29. Educating Emily is an erotic contemporary romance.

How to drive a man insane in bed.

That’s the subject of Emily Sinclair’s latest article for her online magazine. And she has just the guy in mind to teach her—Devlin McKay. After all, she’s fantasized about the hottie next door for years.

Devlin is shocked—and aroused—by Emily’s proposition. She’s definitely not a kid anymore, and she’s not just sexy—she’s irresistible. He agrees to be her sexual mentor, but he has a proposition of his own. When the lessons are over, they will each go their separate ways. He’s not in the market for a relationship.

One night in the classroom—or, rather, bedroom—and Devlin is singing a different tune. Not only is Emily Sinclair all grown up, she has a lot to teach him, too.

EDUCATING EMILY now available!

Mack’s waited a long time for a reward. He’s come back wounded from a brutal mission, but the Toymaker upstairs promised him a new life and a new mission. When Adrian repairs his broken body, his gentle touch also repairs Mack’s broken heart. Now it’s Mack’s turn to repay Adrian, by teaching him about living your wildest fantasies and making your dreams come true.

EDUCATING EMILY

 “It is so refreshing to read a story that features characters who aren’t afraid of their sexuality, their feelings or even the reactions of their family. Fortunately for me, there are five brothers between Devlin and Emily and a couple of friends, so I hope that Ms. Havlir will bring us back to the neighborhood again and again.” ~ Amy Wynn for Ecataromance

 FIRES OF SOLSTICE

Fires of Solstice by Judy Mays
Now available in paperback or ebook from Ellora's Cave!


"For me, Judy Mays is one of the most talented writers out there and I find it amazing that the New York publishers haven’t “discovered” her. They don’t know what they are missing: a writer with a serious ability to draw the reader into the story from the first page. Judy Mays’ Fires of Solstice grabs you from the first page and doesn’t let you go. Meredythe is a strong, independent woman determined not to quietly submit to what fate has decreed for her and Bleddyn is a man driven by forces beyond his control. As with all of Ms. Mays’ books, this one is a keeper. Outside of that I think Fires of Solstice is certainly one of the best ebooks I have read in a long time, indeed, one of the best books period. If you have not read any of her previous books, grab this one up. ~ Theresa for Novelspot.net

HIS TOYS

“This book is sinfully decadent, awakening all your senses, and it wraps up with a very satisfying conclusion that I certainly was not expecting. I definitely recommend this for a quick erotic read.” ~ Lisa for The Romance Studio Reviews

 

  

4. Featured Siren of the month!

  Katherine Kingston

This month, Treva Harte interviews Siren Katherine Kingston!

 

Treva:  Hello, Katherine!  Why not start by telling us something about yourself?

Katherine:  I’m really a very boring person.   I’m a mother and a grandmother, and I do all the usual things associated with those jobs, like laundry and cleaning. I’m fortunate enough to have a husband who does most of the cooking, though. And I have a day job that I’d like to retire from some day, so I can do nothing but write. There’s nothing particularly unusual about me except that I write sensual and erotic romances.

 

Treva:  With the seasons changing now, what is your favorite part about spring?

Katherine:  Watching all the flowers grow, the bushes bloom and the soft green of the new leaves show on the trees.  I love working in the garden.  There’s something about planting things and watching them grow that’s very satisfying to the soul.  I just wish I had more time for it.

 

Treva: What made you happiest about your latest or upcoming book?

Katherine:  My jewel-themed Quickie, Charming the Masters has just released from Ellora’s Cave.  One of the things that made me happiest about it was actually being able to keep my story to quickie length.  I have a hard time writing short.  And this story had a lot going on in terms of the dynamics of the character interactions, so I was pleased I managed to make it work in such a short length.  I think I managed to capture the characters reasonably well, and I also introduced someone who will get his own book shortly.  I’m about halfway through writing it.

 

Treva:  What frustrated you about your latest or upcoming book?

Katherine:  Not very much. What most frustrates me overall is that I’m just not a fast writer. It takes me a pretty long time to write anything.

 

Treva:  What tidbits would you like to tell readers that you haven't done yet here?

Katherine:  I guess I’d like to thank them for the their patience.  I know there are readers who are waiting for me to finish the GlimmerQuest series, and some who really want Cilla and Charles’s story.  Both are coming, but as I’ve said, I’m a slow writer.

 

Treva:  What is your favorite food/pet/book/vacation spot and why?

Katherine:  Favorite vacation spot would have to be Italy.  I spent some time there a while ago and I want very much to go back. 

 

Treva:  Why do you write sensual or erotic romance?

Katherine:  Good question!  I’m not actually sure, except that there’s something deeply revealing of personality and character in sex.  It’s true, in fact, in all the sensual interactions, all the physical interplay between human beings, but in sexual activity people allow themselves to be open and vulnerable in ways they rarely are during any other transaction. To become joined to another human being in the deepest way possible, the participants take off not just their clothes, but often many of the masks and overlays that separate us and keep our innermost selves protected from possible harm by other people. When you’re talking about people who are just beginning to really know each other in an intimate way, who are finding a connection, sex is where they get naked in so many more ways than just the physical. It’s a tremendous risk and yet a driving imperative.

 

Treva:   Do you have a set schedule for writing or is it when you are inspired?

Katherine:  I don’t have a set schedule because my life has so many complications, but I do try to write some every day.  Inspiration isn’t an issue. I always have more ideas and stories clamoring to get out of my brain than I’ll ever have time to write them all.

CHARMING THE MASTERS

by Katherine Kingston
Released March 14 at Ellora’s Cave

http://www.katherinekingston.com

 

Rick got the tray from the side table and brought it to the bed, sitting it in the middle where they could all reach it. On one side were stacks of vegetables—snow peas, tiny tomatoes, cut-up broccoli florets, thin-sliced sticks of celery and carrots and halved raw mushrooms. A stack of cheeses cut in bite-sized cubes sat next to them, then an assortment of fruit and two smaller piles of bits of cut-up cake and bits of chocolate filled the rest of the tray.

“One rule,” Rick said. “No one feeds themselves. You pick up something, you have to give it to someone else. No handing off either. You put it in their mouth.”

Rick grinned at her as he said it. Kyle looked interested. He immediately picked up a carrot stick and held it out to Lindy. She opened her mouth, letting him put it on her tongue. When his fingers brushed her lips in the process, a stab of heat shot straight from her lips to her groin. Surprised by that reaction, she met Kyle’s eyes.

His expression changed as he stared back, going from amusement to something that looked like doubt or worry or even guilt. Did he feel this was some kind of betrayal of his wife’s memory? He must have seen some reaction on her face because he brought back the smile, though the effort it took showed.

Rick held out a small floret of broccoli and she turned toward him. It wasn’t her favorite vegetable, but flavored with the taste of his fingers, she found it delicious. She picked up a snow pea and fed it to Kyle, letting her fingers just graze his chin. She got another one and offered it to Rick. He opened his mouth, but closed it over her fingers once the vegetable was inside so she had to slide them out between his lips. The feel of his firm sensual lips sent more heat rushing through her.

Rick held out a sliver of carrot, but when she opened for it, he didn’t let go. Instead he slid it partway into her mouth, pulled it out and then pressed it back in again. He did that a couple more times before he finally let her have it. Devilish sparks gleamed in his gray-green eyes as he teased her in a parody of what she hoped he really wanted to do.

She picked up a celery stick and did the same thing to Kyle, who grinned his appreciation when she finally let him have it.

Then she took a broccoli floret and held it out to Rick. When he opened his mouth, though, she didn’t put it in. Instead she brushed it over his lips, circling his mouth, touching his tongue lightly, but not letting go until he shut his eyes and hummed deep in his throat. She took another one and did the same thing to Kyle.

After exchanging a few more bites of vegetables, they moved on to the cheeses, then to the sweets. For those they did a round-robin thing, where Lindy would feed Rick, Rick would give something to Kyle, then Kyle would offer a piece to her. After a couple of rounds they reversed the flow.

Once they’d finished most of the items on the tray, Rick put it back on the table. He looked at Kyle for a moment as if questioning him. The other man nodded, then Rick turned to her and said, “Now… You had a bit of a slip there when you were bringing us both off. You kind of forgot to do what I’d told you. Didn’t you?”

It caught her by surprise, though she should have been expecting it. It was why she’d come to this place and what she wanted. Wasn’t it? Why, then, did her stomach jolt and every muscle in her body tighten with doubt? Why the sudden urge to run for the door? She glanced around the room, wondering if she could make it, wondering if they’d try to stop her if she bolted. Probably not.

Kyle saw and understood her panic. He came over and touched her shoulder, lifted her chin with a finger under it. “It’s all right,” he told her, his blue eyes showing only warmth and concern. “We won’t do anything you don’t want us to do. You can stop it anytime. Use your safe word and everything stops. I guarantee it.” His gentle manner and the care that showed on his face convinced her.

FIRES OF SOLSTICE

Excerpt:

She heard the door open. Too soon for James. Some coworker then.

“Not now. I need to be alone.”

“But I want you now.”

That voice! Damn all men to hell! Spinning around, Meredythe stared at the stranger from her boss’s office. His silvery gray eyes bored into hers. Six feet tall, wickedly lean with muscles clearly defined by his tight, black tee shirt and jeans, he exuded sensuality.

A shiver danced its way up Meredythe’s spine and shattered the composure she’d regained as she let her gaze slide down his body. Damn, but he was a hunk. If only he would turn around so she could get a look at his ass. A picture of him standing naked before her flashed in her mind. Her vaginal muscles tightened; her nipples tingled. She looked back up into his face.

The corners of his mouth lifted slightly. Amusement appeared in his eyes. “Like what you see?”

Jerking her gaze from his, Meredythe’s anger burned higher. How could she find such an arrogant man attractive? She hated arrogant men.

He held out his hand. “Come to me.”

Meredythe’s eyes widened, and heat surged to her face. What was she, a dog? “Just who the hell do you think you are?”

He didn’t answer. Instead he kicked the door closed and stalked towards her, his muscles sliding smoothly beneath his clothing.

He moves so effortlessly, likean animal. “What do you want?” she challenged again when he stopped before her.

His eyes bore into hers. “You.”

“Me!” She sputtered. This was the last straw. “And just what makes you think…”

Before she could finish, he cupped her face gently but firmly between his hands, nuzzled her mouth with his, then slid his lips over hers.

Shocked, Meredythe froze.

As his scent surrounded her, soft, tender kisses and delicate flicks of his tongue teased her senses. His supple thumbs caressed her cheeks while his strong fingers massaged the sides of her neck. Slanting his head, he pressed his mouth more firmly against hers and tantalized her lips with the tip of his tongue.

Slowly, her body relaxed, and she swayed towards him.

He growled low in his throat and sucked on her lower lip.

Something inside of Meredythe burst free from its cocoon and exploded into bloom. Sighing, she opened her mouth, all thoughts of escape melting away.

With that small victory, he seized control. Kisses that had been gentle now seared her lips, drawing forth a hungry, burning response from the depths of her soul. His tongue invaded her mouth, thrusting and swirling against hers in a dance that became more and more sensuous. His mouth conquered, dominated, demanded. A low moan escaped from her throat as she melted against him, palms flat against his chest, and began to drown in the raw, blatant passion of his kiss.

Wrapping one arm around her waist, he laced the fingers of his other hand through her hair, and pulled her head even closer.

Teeth clashed against teeth and tongues stabbed and swiped.

Her teeth slid across his lip.

For a second, the metallic taste of blood rolled across Meredythe’s tongue, then a bonfire ignited in her soul. Trapped in a kiss that seemed to drag her soul from her body, Meredythe plummeted into a maelstrom of desire.

The tight knot in her stomach exploded with fiery heat that surged through her veins. As her nerves sizzled, her nipples puckered into tight, aching buds. Hot moisture pooled between her legs, and she spread her legs apart and tried to straddle his thigh.

Moaning deep in her throat, she grasped his soft cotton shirt and tugged at it, trying to rip it away from his body so she could slide her hands across the hot, taut muscles of his chest.

His groan answered her as he slid his hands down her back, cupped her butt, and pulled her hips against the hard ridge of his erect cock. Then, as he kneaded and massaged her ass with his left hand, he yanked her blouse free from her skirt, slid his right underneath it, and cupped her breast.

Ignoring the warning bells clamoring in her head, Meredythe slid her hands up his chest, wrapped her arms around his neck, pushed her breast further into his hand, and sucked his tongue into her mouth.

His harsh whiskers scratching her cheek and chin, he ravaged her mouth with his as he dropped his arm from around her waist.

A low growl rolling in his throat, he squeezed her breast then slid his finger tips down over her rib cage and along her thighs to jerk her skirt up to her waist. A hard yank ripped her panty hose off her stomach. As the flap of nylon sagged, he slipped his hand beneath her silk panties and cupped her moist pussy. Heat branded her ass as he cupped her butt with his other hand to hold her still.

Whimpering, she ground herself against his stroking fingers. Slowly he caressed her clit, swirled his fingers around it, then rubbed again harder.

Gasping, Meredythe pulled her mouth from his, spread her legs further apart, and threw back her head.

“Yes,” she hissed. Lord but his fingers were magic.

“That’s it. Open yourself to me.”

He pinched her clit. His voice was a low growl. “You are mine.” Then, as he started to slide a single finger inside of her, he leaned forward, slid his tongue and teeth along her jaw to her neck, and nipped her – hard.

Immersed in the sensuality he’d wrapped around her, Meredythe simply moaned affirmatively and ground cunt against his hand. So close... She was so close to coming.

Then, a single, sharp pain shattered the sensual haze surrounding her.

Wrenching her eyes open, she froze in his arms. What was she doing! A complete stranger had her clothing half off and his fingers in her cunt. What was wrong with her? No man other had ever been able to silence her own sense of self before. This one, though, this stranger – she was putty in his hands, passionate putty. Deep in her soul, she knew he could make her do anything he wanted. It frightened her more than anything else ever had.

Fear of her passionate reaction to the stranger galvanized Meredythe and provided her with the strength to jerk out of his arms and fall against the table behind her. Gripping the edge to keep from falling, she sucked in great gasps of air. Tremblingeyes wideshe stared at him. He was a complete stranger, and she was ready to let him fuck her! What was wrong with her?

Silver eyes glistening with flecks of gold, he smiled ferally, lifted the fingers that had been playing in her pussy to his mouth, and sucked on them. Then, nostrils flaring slightly, he slid his fingers from his mouth and held out his hand.

As Meredythe stared at his hand, a moaning sob stuck in her throat. All she had to do was take his hand and give herself over to him to experience passion such as she’d never dreamed existed – passion that would draw her soul from her body and return it altered beyond recognition.

She wrenched her gaze from his hand to his body.

His legs were braced apart, and he made no attempt to hide the huge bulge rising in the front of his jeans.

Her gaze flew to his face.

“Come with me! Now!” he commanded in a low voice, his flinty eyes blazing with a passion she’d never dreamed existed, a passion that now terrified her.

Her body swayed forward.

Her mind rebelled.

Gritting her teeth, she swallowed her sob and yanked her skirt down over her thighs. No! She would not give up her self. There wasn’t a man alive who could be trusted that much.

His terse, arrogant command fanned the flames of her passionand anger. Gathering her strength, without thought for the consequences, she stiffened her spine and slapped his face - hard. As the sharp crack reverberated around the room, his head snapped to the left and his cheek flushed bright crimson under his dark whiskers. While he stood frozen with shock, she scrambled around to the other side of the table.

Eyes now glowing golden, he braced his hands on the table.

“Touch me and I’ll scream this building down.”

“No you won’t,” he growled. Leaning towards her, he said, “You want me as much as I want you. I can smell the desire for sex on you. I tasted your cum. You’re slick and wet, ready for me. You want my cock buried in your cunt so far you can’t tell where I end and you begin.”

HIS TOYS
by Ruby Storm
 Erotic Contemporary Written for Ellora’s Cave’s EXOTIKA Line
 
http://www.rubystorm.net

 

Blurb:

Sanford Willard is a crafter of toys. Not your standard run-of-the-mill playthings created for the general public, mind you, but items designed for the woman who basks in her sexuality on all levels. He has one more step to complete before taking the adult market by storm and that’s to assure his prototypes are the perfect compliment to a woman’s body.

 

One weekend. One thousand dollars on the table for payment to co-worker Melodee Dayton. Forty-eight hours of extreme pleasure in exchange for her honest opinion.

 

Two consenting adults. A fantasy come true. Get ready to roll the dice of fate.

 

 

Excerpt:

She stared into his appraising eyes, struggling for air. Her fingers scratched at the linen tablecloth until she bunched it in her hands. Her breasts heaved as she fought to breathe and not attract attention. A fine sheen of perspiration glistened on her brow. She couldn’t do it anymore. She couldn’t forestall her body’s need.

When the orgasm hit her, her teeth clamped down on her bottom lip. Her eyes slammed shut as she fought to sit still. Over and over the hot contractions ripped through her womb, igniting a hot path to her breasts. She continued to come hard, her clit throbbing against the wild vibrations, the blood pounding in her ears. Her knees spread wider and it was all she could do not to reach down and cup her wet and dripping pussy. God, the desire for something thick and hard inside her burgeoned higher. She clung mindlessly to the fact that she had to remain mute no matter how loudly she wanted to moan. She couldn’t give herself away to the many patrons around them. Her body reeled with sensual pleasure, heightened by the fact that Sandy controlled each of the pulses.

Finally…finally it was over.

She couldn’t open her eyes. Her brain spun and her body thrummed from the release. She could only suck in deep breathes to clear her head and slow her heart rate.

Sandy had watched Mel in the throes of her orgasm, his cock hard and leaking. The sight of her parted lips as she’d panted hard, the glazed look in her eyes as her nails clawed the table, the sweet tension of her body. It had set him on fire.

The gut level reaction he’d experienced made his heart rap crazily beneath his breastbone and at the moment he wanted to toss her onto the table, yank her legs wide and bury himself inside her hot cunt. But he needed her reaction. He needed to stay focused on the reason they were here and not the fact that he’d never been so turned on in his life. That little detail stunned him. Here he’d thought he would be an interested and observing bystander this weekend, jotting down notes and reactions like a senseless robot. Fat chance.

“Mel?”

Her heart still thudded when she finally glanced up.

“Want to take the panties off now?”

A slow smile turned up the corners of her mouth. “Not on your life.”

He chuckled. “At the risk of ruining the ‘moment’ for you, I need your reaction.”

She snorted, wondering if her clit would ever feel normal again. “My reaction?” She took a deep breath, picked up her wine and downed it completely. “I’m not going to be electrocuted, am I?”

“I’m not following you.”

“You, the toymaker who has come up with the perfect pair of underwear and you’re not following me? I don’t know if it’s the wine or if I just don’t give a damn what I say because I feel so damn warm and tingly. Sandy, I’m wet—like dripping wet. I just sat here at the table and experienced one of the best orgasms I’ve ever had. And if I continue to stay wet, I just might be electrocuted.”
