~~Author Wednesdays-Jewel Quinlan!!~~

Hello and welcome to For Whom The Books Toll. Jewel Quinlan is here for Author Wednesdays! Thanks for being here today Jewel.

I love this Cougar List Jewel is sharing with us today. Who knew?!?



The Top Ten Legendary Cougars

Men have been doing it for centuries, yes centuries; dating or marrying women far younger than they are. Now that I am older I think, “If they have been able to do it all this time what’s the big taboo for us women to do it?” So, in the spirit of my newly released book Man Candy, I put together this list of the Top 10 Legendary Cougars (according to me and some popular websites) for you all to enjoy. I was certainly inspired. These women have already been doing it, paving the trail for the rest of us. So I say to those of you who are adventurous, go forth and explore! And to those of you who are mothers, keep your sons locked up. LOL

10. Halle Barry – Was married to model Gabriel Aubry who is 10 years younger. Currently married to French actor Olivier Martinez.

9. Joan Lunden – was the co-host of ABC’s Good Morning America. Married Jeff Konigsberg who is 10 years younger when she was close to fifty. Then they had two sets of twins via a surrogate. Go girl!

8. Raquel Welch – has been married 4 times. Her 4th husband, Richard Palmer, is 15 years younger than she is.

7. Demi Moore – was married to Ashton Cutcher who is 15 years younger than she is. It’s said that she (now 51) is currently dating 27-year-old Sean Friday, who is the drummer of the band Dead Sara.

6. Jennifer Lopez – dated Casper Smart for a couple years. He is 18 years her junior. I think J-Lo can do better than that.

5. Susan Sarandon – Used to be with Tim Robbins who is 12 years younger than she is. She is in her mid-60’s and currently with Jonathan Bricklin who is in his mid-30’s. They’ve been dating for three years.

4. Sharon Stone – recently seen making out with supermodel Martin Mica who is 30 years younger.

3. Madonna – Has a history of dating men significantly younger than she is. She was married to Guy Ritchie who was 10 years younger. Said to be now dating Brahim Zaibat, a French break dancer, who is more than half her junior. Such and inspiring woman. Always breaking the boundaries.

2. Ivana Trump – When she was 59 she married Rossano Rubicondi who is 23 years her junior.

1. Joan Collins – Was married 5 times. Number five is Percy Gibson who is 32 years younger than she is.


I nominate Joan MVP!

 Enjoy this excerpt from Man Candy:
 “I’ve been wanting to do this for a while,” he whispered in my ear, still pressed against me as he unzipped my dress.

Me too, I wanted to say. But I didn’t. I was adrift in the onslaught of sensation as he slid the fabric from me, trailing kisses down my back as it went. Making me aware as I never had been of how sensitive the skin there could be. When he reached the small of my back, he lingered, kneading my skin with his tongue and teeth. His hands ran down my legs and then back up to my breasts, and I savored the feel of his fingers. My breaths came heavier. I had been needing this for too long.

He rose and turned me toward him, towering over me. His cap was gone and his dark hair was askew, as though he had run his fingers through it, giving him that sexy just-woke-up look. I slid my fingers from the waist of his jeans, underneath his shirt, to his muscled back. The ridges of strength there were too tempting beneath my fingertips. How did he find the time to work out that much? I had to see with my own eyes. Fisting the hem of his shirt in my hands, I pulled his t-shirt up to remove it. Why should I be the only one standing here naked? With a chuckle, he complied, lifting the shirt over his head and flinging it away in the casual manner of an underwear model on TV.

Sure, I had imagined what he looked like with his shirt off, but the reality was ten times better. He had a runner build, but that was filled out with muscle. The planes of his chest were topped by strong shoulders and arms, which seemed to blossom over the lean ridges of his abdominals, creating a definite contrast. I couldn’t help reaching out and touching him. I ran my hands over his skin, tracing my way upward to the light coating of black hair on his pectorals. He leaned his pelvis into me, forehead on mine, his erection pressing into me, making me shiver with anticipation.

We were on the brink of something oh-so-good, and I was dying to plunge ahead. Yet, I hesitated. Questions burned in my mind. I tried to hold them back, knowing serious talk would ruin the moment. That lasted about two seconds before I gave in.

“Um…” I said.

He lifted his head from mine and looked at me.

I cocked my head at him. “Did you just say you’ve been wanting to do this for a while?” Had he been scoping me out all this time?

He nodded. “Who wouldn’t? Look at you. You’re gorgeous.”

The smoldering look he gave me trumped anything I observed on the physical plane. The messages coming from him on a subliminal level promised pleasure that made me squirm with heat.

“You know it’s going to be good between us, Ava,” Cole said.

WIP Presents~ Anne Lange's Sliding Into Home Review Tour!


Today I'm hosting Anee Lange's Sliding Into Home Review Tour presented by Wickedly Innocent Promotions.



Title: Sliding Into Home
Author: Anne Lange
Series: A New League Book One
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Publisher: Totally Bound 
Publication Date: October 17, 2014
Length: 37,827 k

Blurb:
Can an injured ex ball player convince the woman he wakes up married to in Las Vegas to take a second chance on him?

After spending the last four months drowning his sorrows over the end of his baseball career, Jack Bishop finds himself winging through the blue skies to Las Vegas, not so ready to spend the weekend with some woman his best friend set him up with. He expects a paid escort. What he gets is the woman he walked away from ten years ago to pursue his passion, and she’s not very happy to see him.

Devyn Tate believes she’s quite capable of finding somebody to take her out to dinner. She’s no longer looking for a lifelong promise. She has a commitment only to her battery-operated toy to fulfill that particular need. Yet her friends have managed to talk her into spending the weekend in Las Vegas, on a blind date of all things. They promise the guy is trustworthy. They insist that she should have fun. Unfortunately, fun is not what she envisions when she discovers Jack Bishop lying on the floor of her suite in nothing but his underwear that’s on backward, and she has a wedding ring on her finger.

This story involves a weekend of drinking, scorching hot sex in a limo, and a not-so-clearly remembered wedding ceremony.

Excerpt:
She felt no pain. Not the physical kind anyway. Here she sat, in an exquisite hotel suite, in Las Vegas, with… Jack. The boy who had left her. But he didn’t resemble a boy anymore. Oh, no. He looked like a man who could do all sorts of naughty things to make her feel wonderful. And no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t make the naughty suggestions disappear, so she’d given up about two glasses of wine ago, after he’d announced his intentions.

She pictured herself swinging on a pendulum. She swayed to one side and was reminded of the day he’d left. Wasn’t she worth sticking around for, or at least coming home for? Then she swung the other way and focused on the opportunity in front of her. He’s so fucking sexy. And he’s available. And what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. Right? It’s not like it’s forever. 

She was getting dizzy. She must be going insane if she was even considering it. 

Her nipples stood on alert. Her pussy pulsed. Must be the wine. Her friends had brought her to Las Vegas to have sex. But sex with Jack? A mistake? Oh, yeah. She squirmed on the couch, and with as much nonchalance as possible rubbed her arm over her nipples. She suppressed a groan. Okay, maybe a little bit of pain. The kind only a good hard round of sex could relieve.

Devyn glanced up from where she’d settled into the overstuffed couch after they’d moved back into the suite. She watched Jack, but didn’t really see him as he moved about the room. Instead, she pictured him bending her over the arm of the sofa, while the kaleidoscope of colors from the Strip played across the darkened room. In her daydream, he slipped inside her, his cock rigid, thick, hot—stretching her wide, to the pleasurable edge of painful. He paused to place tender kisses down her spine, before pulling back and plunging hard and fast back into her body—relentless in his endeavor to hear her scream his name. 

In her mind, she begged him, repeatedly, to make her come.  

“Dev, did you say something?” 

Startled, she blinked and looked up at his question. “Ah, no.”





Shoes are her addiction, but books are her passion.  Anne Lange grew up with a love for reading. If you take a close look, she’s got either a book, her Kindle or her Kobo—maybe all three—tucked into her bag or a pocket when she leaves the house. You know, just in case there’s time to sneak in a chapter or ten.  Anne reads many genres of romance, but prefers to write sexy stories, often with a dash of humor, and usually with a side of those sinful pleasures your mom never told you about. 

Oh, and always a happily ever after. 

While embarking on this wild journey of becoming a romance author, Anne juggles a full time job and a family. Not always successfully. Who needs a clean house every day?  And what’s wrong with cereal for dinner? She lives in Ontario, Canada with her wonderfully supportive husband, three awesome kids who are growing up way too fast, and Rocky the bearded dragon.

Blurb:
Stefan March lives for a good time. Born into wealth, he sees everything in terms of what he can have, especially women. So far, life has denied him nothing and no one. When he meets his newest bartender, he instantly knows who his next conquest will be, but Shay's not like the usual women he collects. To get her, he'll have to be more than just the player he's always been. 

Shay Callahan is beautiful, determined, and intelligent. She's got plans for her life, and they don't include getting sidetracked by a man, and certainly not her wealthy player boss. Her job at Club X is for one thing—money to fund her education—but if she can make Stefan March see he's not God's gift to women, all the better. She never expects to find out there's more to him than meets the eye. 

As different as day and night, can these two see past who they think they are to find love?

Publisher: Siren Publishing
Publication Date: September 9, 2014
Cover Artist: Elodie Parkes
Goodreads  

Blurb:
When Emily joins a dating agency, and meets Chris, their intense attraction to each other is fueled by their shared loneliness. Will Emily find out his shocking secret when someone from his past comes back to haunt him?

How can love blossom, when someone is trying to tear them apart?

Excerpt:
Desire flared low in his stomach. He let it take him over. He knew his next kiss was searching, needy, hard. He grasped one of her breasts and kneaded, the softness drove him crazy. His cock, fully erect now, pushed at his pants. He sighed into her mouth. “I want you so much.” He relished the hard peak of her nipple through her T-shirt. He bent his head and sucked.

When she ran her fingers into his hair, he felt the pressure in them, and moved away. He could see her nipple now through the soft white fabric in the wet patch he made. He looked into her eyes. “I said I wouldn’t rush you next time, but it’s killing me already.”

Emily stood. She pulled her T-shirt off, followed by the skirt.

Chris reached out and grasped her hips, pulling her to his mouth as he leaned forward. He kissed her stomach, and slid his palms over her ass to cup her there with his fingertips pushed inside the lace of her panties. 

She held his head as he kissed across her stomach to each hipbone where he nibbled.

Chris heard her sighs grow ragged. He liked her pretty panties, but he wanted them off her. He yanked them down her thighs, and calves, bending to thrust his tongue into the cleft of her pussy. It delighted him that she was shaved there.

Emily arched to his face.

The scent of her creaming pussy called to him. He let her go. The need to pull her down and fuck her hard was scary. It tore right into his wish not to rush her. His thoughts filled with pictures of holding her thighs apart and pounding his erection into her pussy. His cock leaked and his balls ached.

She stood before him naked.

He gazed up into her eyes.

“Take your pants off. If I don’t have you inside me soon…” The need in her voice soothed his fear.

Chris took his pants off. His cock bumped on his stomach muscles sending hot pre-cum streaking across them.

He stood to pull Emily into his arms and kiss her lips. He plunged a hand between her thighs. The wet welcome there sent spears of sensation right through his body. He was on fire with the need to bury his cock in her, but he pushed his fingers into her pussy to make sure he wouldn’t hurt her when he fucked her. Her folds swollen, her cream flowed on his fingers. The air was laden with the erotic perfume of sex. His urgency brought his kisses down her neck along the soft place in her shoulder and he sucked.

CHARACTER BIO
Julie Alexander Weston is the sheriff of her small Indiana town. She’s also an ex-FBI agent with degree in Russian literature. Disenchanted with her current career since she shot and killed a young man in error, she has a new hobby which she hopes to make into a new career—she’s writing and photographing copy table books that she hopes to publish. As accomplished as she is, she’s never stopped loving or dreaming about her college boyfriend and her college best friend. Now that she’s divorced and there’s a college reunion, she attends in the hopes of seeing if any sparks are left with either of them.

Author: Ashley Ladd

Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Length-(Pages/#Words): 24,200
Cover Artist: Emmy Ellis

Blurb:
Forty-four year old Julie Weston has loved Timmy and James since her college days twenty something years ago. She's fantasized about both all these long years, never able to choose between them.

Hoping Tim and James will attend, she attends their college marching band reunion. When both men show up her dreams are answered. They're sexier than she imagined and she hopes they won't be disappointed by her older self.

It turns out both men came just to see her again and neither is happy about the other’s presence. They fight over her, confusing her more than ever. It takes a hot ménage…or two…for her heart to decide which one she’s in love with.


Buy Links:
Amazon: Her Men

Excerpt:
Damn Tim.

First he ruined her life by leaving. Now he might ruin it by coming back.

Dear God, why did she love two men? How could she choose between them?

Maybe they didn’t want a forever. Maybe they just wanted a good hop in the sack, and by the end of the weekend she would have been doubly wham bammed thank you ma’ammed and going home to Indiana with just her handcuffs.

Should she let this go further before she made up her mind? Or would making love to one or both help her decide? Was it possible to decide in two days? One thing was sure—if she let herself loose, fulfilled her fantasies, she’d have a lot better memories than the last time she left Mississippi.

But James was here now, warm in her arms. Ready to make love, she squirmed beside him. “I’m feeling much better. Much, much better.”

She hoped he got her drift. She wasn’t as brave in real life as she was in her fantasies and there was no way she could brazenly say, ‘I’m so hot and horny I want you to fuck me now’.

Light blazed in his eyes and he gathered her closer. Then he lowered his lips and captured hers in a light but exploratory kiss. When she groaned into his mouth and wound her fingers through his long hair, he deepened the kiss. His tongue played with hers as he slid his hands under her nightie, filled his hands with her breasts and ran the pads of his thumbs around her nipples as they puckered to his touch. Then he squeezed the nipples, elongating them between his fingers.

~~Review for Dirty As Sin by Leanore Elliott~~



Title: Dirty As Sin
Author: Leanore Elliott
Publisher: Wicked Muse Publishing
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Publication date: September 6, 2012
ISBN: None
ASIN: B009700KCM
Length: 97 pages
Book Series and number: N/A
Rating: 4
Heat Rating: Scorching

I received a complimentary copy of this book from the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. I rated it 4 out of 5 stars.

Reviewed for For Whom The Books Toll
4, Scorching


Man Of The Night, Sexy Rex…
His work was every man’s dream and every woman’s fantasy.
His calling was a true religious experience. His field of endeavor is to please women; he loves all sizes, all colors and as long as they’re the age of consent, he will most certainly oblige you. Rex uses his talents to get you off, and his favorite part of the job? To make you scream and cream until the sun comes up.


My Review:
Rex Harris has the best job ever! His job is to please women, all types of women. Sexy Rex is so very talented and good at what he does. Originally, he wanted to be an actor, and he still tries out for parts, but his night time work is where he makes the real money. Rex doesn't consider himself the gigolo others do, in fact, to him a gigolo has only one woman to please. He doesn't have time for a serious relationship, to let his heart rule his head. Rex tried that once, thought he found the woman of his dreams and then one day she was just gone. It was this woman who had propositioned Rex while he was walking down the street. He didn't really think she was serious, but she was and the weeks he had spent with her were the best of his life. Rex tried to get Ava out of his system by screwing as many women as he could. One day a mysterious woman came into his life, one that had bought his night life company, and promised him that terrible things would happen if he didn't do as she said. With little choice, Rex goes along with Mimi and sets sail on a private yacht. Rex is absolutely stunned when he sees the name of the ship, AVA. Rex meets Ava's husband Tino, who is also Mimi's brother and acts like he's never met Ava before. Rex gradually pieces together Mimi's plot to make Ava look bad in front of Tino. Ava is shocked to the core when Mimi brings Rex on board. She doesn't believe that Rex had no knowledge of Mimi's plans, but she can't stay away from him and the two have several nights of passionate love making. Rex knows he needs to get off the ship and get back to his life, and that might be impossible now that he's been with Ava again.

Secrets, secrets and more secrets. Dirty As Sin by Leanore Elliott has more secrets than Carter's has pills. Ava has secrets, Mimi has secrets, Tino has secrets and they are all so delicious. For me, the story started out a little on the slow side, the ratcheted up quickly when the mysterious Mimi came onto the scene.

Ms. Elliott does a fantastic job of pacing the rest of the book, it also has a lot of emotion and a tons of sexual tension that kept me turning to pages. And just when I thought the last secret was divulged, another one pops up to add to the storyline.

Rex is the pretty lucky in that he loves what he does. He still clings to the hope of becoming an actor, and later discovers that each client gives him the ability to be that actor. I liked Rex and really came to root for him as the story on the ship unfolded. When push came to shove, Rex was all about doing what was right even if it meant he might not get his happy ever after.

Ava was a little harder to get to know, and when I did, it was very hard not to sympathize with her situation. Ava was also a strong woman and I admired her for that strength.

Ms. Elliott's characters are larger than life, they just seem to leap from the page and grab your attention. I also enjoy the bits of humor and wit that get thrown into Dirty As Sin. This is such a fun book and I totally enjoyed it.
