I want want Michael Canton to Teach Me To Ride...

I am thrilled with the feedback from readers I am receiving for my latest release, "Teach Me To Ride" - the general consensus being that quite a few of you ladies wouldn't say no to my hero, Michael Canton, teaching you to ride, LOL!

I love writing this book and really hope those yet to read Michael and Caroline's journey will love the story as much as me. The novella is still only available exclusively to Amazon with general release not until December 6th. Why not get your copy now??


Here the details:


Caroline James wants to be the best investigative journalist London has ever seen. But until she has the money to leave the small town of Fayre Mead, she's stuck and her resentment is building. So when she’s assigned to cover the Lakeland Horse Trials and meets sexy, dark-haired, and astoundingly fit horse trainer, Michael Canton, she is happy to vent some sexual and emotional frustration…and write the story of her career. But after getting personal with Michael, can she remain impersonal with the article?

Michael Canton will do anything in his power to silence his tyrannical father once and for all. Under extreme pressure to compete in the countries show jumper trials and prove his worth, Michael’s fiery emotions are running high. Caroline’s beauty and sexual confidence stokes an inner strength and determination he never knew he had. But can he trust her to know the difference between fact and fiction? Together, they are a formidable team…but will their burning ambitions ultimately blow them apart?

Excerpt:

Still sitting in his lap, she reached behind her and lowered the zipper of her dress. It fell down over her shoulders, revealing naked breasts. His erection ached at the sight of her creamy white, perfect tits with nipples big and dark. He licked his lips and moved forward to suck one hard tip into his mouth. Her gasp sounded above him.
Her skin smelled of something sweet and sexy, innocence mixed with danger. He inhaled deeply as he grazed her pebbled nipple with his teeth before reclaiming her mouth. Her tongue was rigid and demanding against his as they fought for supremacy.
Rolling her over, he shimmied the dress down her body and tossed it to the floor. Naked, but for tiny satin panties, darkened by juices at her clit, Michael didn’t think he had ever seen a woman look more beautiful. He drank in every inch of her, knowing deep inside that this might be the only moment he’d ever see her like this. The only chance to take her, to watch her enjoy unadulterated pleasure. God, he wanted to give her pleasure.
“Michael…”
He snapped his gaze to hers. She watched him. Her eyes were heavy lidded, screaming for him, wanting him. Male pride surged like a fireball behind his ribcage. He crawled up beside her and kissed her, his fingers trailing over her breasts, lower over her torso before diving into her panties.
She was wet. Soaking wet.
His hand glided over her narrow strip of pubic hair to her rigid clit. He circled, stretched, and teased, then moved lower until his fingers found her slit, his blood roaring in his ears. He felt alive, masculine and powerful. Her legs opened and he thrust two fingers deep inside.

Welcome Breathless Press author, Carrie Pulkinen...



Escorting Jessica
by Carrie Pulkinen

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

BLURB:

Trevor has starred in Jessica's dreams since high school. Jessica had been the girl who eluded him. Can they start over or will Trevor's job get in the way?

Jessica Snider's dream is to be with Trevor. Unfortunately, just being near him has her burning with desire and babbling like a teenager. When she discovers her high school crush now runs a high-end male escort service, she doesn't know whether to be appalled or aroused.

Trevor Hill wants to fulfill Jessica's every fantasy—including multiple partners—but he wants her for himself as well. If he was hot for her in high school, he's sweltering for her now. However, he's afraid his job will come between them.

Trevor offers her a free—multiple partner—trial guaranteed to satisfy her wettest dreams. Jessica must find her composure and step into his world of sexual fantasies, but can she? Will Trevor convince her to trust his feelings for her and take him up on it? Or will this second chance slip away?


EXCERPT

Her eyelids had just begun to flutter closed when the phone rang. Jessica jumped, sending Chaz flying across the sofa with a hiss. "I'm sorry, baby. Mommy was just startled." The cat narrowed his eyes at her but slinked back into her lap without protest.

She didn't recognize the number on the caller ID. "Hello?"

"Hey, Jessica. I'm so sorry I didn't call you back earlier. I was swamped at work."

No way. Trevor? "Umm. That's okay. I was pretty busy, too." I'm such a liar. Oh, well. He doesn't need to know that. She pushed Chaz onto the floor and he landed with a grunt. Such an ungraceful cat. She stood and paced her small living room, waiting for him to speak.

"So, it was good to see you this morning. You looked amazing."

"Thanks." Her voice squeaked. "You, uh...haven't changed a bit."

His melodic chuckle rang in her ear. "Thank you. I try."

She giggled and put a hand over her mouth to stop herself. She would not get her hopes up again. Yeah, right.

"So, Jessica." Her knees went weak at the sound of her name coming from his lips. "I really wanted to take you out to dinner. To spend some time with you, but..."

Yep. Here it comes. The big letdown.

"But I’m swamped for the next few days."

"Oh, that's okay. It's really not that big of a deal. I—"

"Yes," he interrupted her. "It is. I want to see you."

Welcome erotic romance writers Dmytry Karpov & Kimberly Kinrade...





Hello!! It's so great to have a husband and wife writing team at my blog today...I think you're my first! Cannot wait to find out more about you both and how you manage to create stories together - it's something that ain't never gonna happen in my house! Let's start the questions....

1.    What do you wish men understood about women?

DK: I wish we understood how to make them 100% happy 100% of the time.
KK: I wish all men knew how to please a women in bed. Fortunately, I don't have to worry about that with my man. He's mastered that lesson.

2.    Do you only work on one book at a time?

DK: I'll often outline a few books at a time, but I'll actually write the prose one at a time. For example, right now I'm outlining both Seduced by Lies, a romance and mystery, and Kiss Me in Cairo, the sequel to Kiss Me in Paris, but I'm only writing Seduced by Lies.

KK: I usually have multiple projects going on at once. As Dmytry said, right now we're working on Seduced by Lies as well as Kiss Me in Cairo, but we're also working on a serial novel, Kiss Me Forever (starring Damon Deveaux, a cousin to the Deveaux sisters) and I'm working on a new Three Lost Kids trilogy, The Forbidden Book.

3.    Who is your favorite fictional couple?

DK: Rose and Jack from Titanic. That's my favorite romance film.
KK: Rose and Derek from the Seduced Saga.

4.    Do you have a favorite quote that sums up how you feel about life?

DK: “Don't cry because it's over, smile because it happened.” Dr. Seuss
KK: "Live your questions now, and perhaps even without knowing it, you will live along some distant day into you answers." Rainer Maria Rilke

5.    Do you set daily writing goals? Word count? Number of chapters? Do you get a chance to write every day?

DK: I don't write every day, but when I do, I set small goals for myself. Usually my goal is 250 words every fifteen minutes. It doesn't sound like a lot of words, but it adds up to 1000 words every hour.

KK: When I'm in the writing phase of a project, I like to get 5-10k in per day until that project is completed.

6.  What do you like better, Twitter or Facebook? Why?

DK: I usually prefer Twitter. I like the concise tweets. But I do love Facebook groups.
KK: I used to love Twitter (it's how Dmytry and I met after all!), but I've fallen for Facebook recently. It's such a fun way to connect with fans.

7.    What are you working on now?

DK: Seduced by Lies and Kiss Me in Cairo. Both are an exciting mix of mystery and romance. However, Seduced by Lies is paranormal while Kiss Me in Cairo is contemporary.
KK: What he said, plus we've also added a hot addition to the Kiss Me cast. Damon Deveaux, of Kiss Me Forever, will have his own serial novel.

No one knows my secret. Ever since high school, ever since I started living in fear, no one has known the true me. But then I met him, and I couldn't hide anymore.

He became my hero, saving me from the villain of my past. He became my friend, his smile a blanket of warmth. And he scared me. Because he, this beautiful man, he might become more. Then he'd see the real me, and I couldn't let that happen.

My name is Winter, and what I desire most I can't have.

Flashes of the night I was drugged rush back to me. His strong arms carrying me through the streets of Paris. The feel of his heart beating as my head rested against his chest. The soft press of his lips against my forehead when he thought I was asleep.

Oh shit. I'm falling for the cowboy. Cade.

But we can't be anything more. He has his own secrets. His own darkness he keeps hidden, like the letter he keeps with him everywhere he goes.

The letter he refuses to open.

Book Description:
Part of the Emerald Isles Fantasies series

Tullamore Castle Ireland is an enchanted place where the unexpected happens. Phantom lovers materialize in haunted beds and a lonely griffin patrols the ramparts waiting to reclaim its mate. And that’s just the beginning.

For the adventure of a lifetime Maeve de’Burgo visits Tullamore to study genealogy. Through a magical act and time travel she becomes embroiled in a dangerous medieval romance and the unfinished life of her ancestor. Maeve gets thrown back in time to be captured, ravished and cherished as a war chief’s prize.

Ronan O’Griofa is a griffin-shifter, the most loyal of creatures. He’s been trapped in limbo as the avenging guardian of Tullamore since 1332 AD and longs to be free. When the soul of his wife returns to the castle he’s granted the privilege of becoming a man for one day to be her lover, win her heart and remind Maeve of a bond strong enough to last an eternity.

Warning: This title is intended for readers over the age of 18 as it contains adult sexual situations and/or adult language, and may be considered offensive to some readers.

Excerpt:


Maeve walked down a long carpet runner of elegant red and blue heraldic designs that stretched the length of a football field. “From looking at the website I had no idea how sprawling Castle Tullamore is.”

“The castle as it stands now has been greatly expanded over the years. We are in the oldest wing. There have been many times during the castle’s stormy eight-hundred- year history when it has housed hundreds, perhaps thousands of people during a siege. Tullamore and its surrounding lands have been peaceful for generations but we still have a few old spirits wandering the halls who haven’t heard the news. They are still on guard for invaders.”

A chill traveled over Maeve. “Not malicious spirits, I hope.”

“No.” Áine pursed her lips. “Protective ones. We have a few devoted souls who watch over the castle with a wary eye just as they did in life. They’re noble spirits and you’ll feel no threat from them.”

“Tullamore is big on spirits, isn’t it?” Maeve didn’t mean to sound dismissive but she feared she did.

“Yes, the castle has more than its fair share. It’s not an exaggeration to say that Castle Tullamore is a supernatural vortex. Things happen here that can’t happen anywhere else.” Áine stopped at the end of the corridor in front of a massive wooden door carved with winged griffins. “This is the O’Griofa suite.” She slipped the brass key into a heavy brass lock, turned the key with a squeak and pushed the door open. “Lovely, isn’t it?”

Maeve stepped into the softly lit room and felt her breath catch. To her right a crystal lamp glowed with the strength of a candle flame and shot tiny rainbows across a pale marble table. A low fire crackled in the massive stone fireplace, which smoldered crimson. The floors were polished dark wood offset by fine carpets. The mantel was ornamented by two graceful stone griffins with wings raised and heads bowed, which cast dramatic shadows on the wall.

The entire room was filled with elegant art and unique furnishings from many eras, but the heart of the room was the monumental oak bed with towering carved posts and a vaulted canopy. The bed’s silk coverlet was a rich shade of viridian green. The carved headboard displayed a victorious griffin screeching in flight, with wings spread wide, and looked as if it belonged in an art museum.

Maeve gaped with disbelief. “I get to sleep in that bed? It’s gorgeous!”

Áine nodded. “Lady dé Burgo once slept in that bed, though ‘slept’ might be too polite a term. According to legend, Lord O’Griofa didn’t let her get much sleep. The bed was simpler too—it has been added to over the centuries but elements of it are the original bed.”

 About the Author:
I’m an artist, an author, mother and wife. I write for Ellora’s Cave, Loose Id Publishing and a couple new publishers to be announced soon. I try to bring a touch of the mystical and a big sense of adventure to everything I write because I believe there’s a bold, kick-ass heroine inside all of us who wants to take a wild ride with a strong worthy hero.
