Six-Pack Stud-A-Thon Blog Hop & Giveaway

Welcome to my stop on the Six-Pack Stud-A-Thon Blog Hop & Giveaway!!!  I have two fantastic men that are cover models, CJ Hollenbach and Nick Soto that I'll be showcasing here. Both CJ and Nick have given me permission to post pictures from websites and facebook pages.

Let's face it, we all like to look at those smexy book covers. When you're shopping in a book store or online, what grabs your attention to a book? What influences you to then buy that book? For me, the first thing I notice is the cover, if I like it, then I read the blurb. If the cover doesn't grab me, then I'm probably not even going to pick it up to read the blurb. There are some authors for me that are auto-buy and it doesn't matter about the cover. Do you let friends influence you book choices? What about reviews?

Some of my favorite CJ covers.







You just gotta love a man with long blond hair, gorgeous eyes and rock hard abs.   Can you say yummy????

The first time I ever saw a picture of CJ was on Between Your Sheets website. There were several photos of cover models and it was a public vote for a favorite. The first thing I said was, "Who the hell is the that?"

I don't think the pictures had the models' names, but I really don't remember. I voted for CJ. Then I joined a yahoo group and met Mary and DCL Publications. I quickly found out who that gorgeous long blond hunk was. CJ Hollenbach.

I then got the opportunity to attend the Romantic Times Convention in Pittsburgh. I so wanted to met CJ, but was kinda scared at the same time. I mean this man is awesome!! What would I say to him? What would he think about me?  I finally got to see CJ in person and almost fell on the floor in a dead faint. CJ is so freakin' HAWT in pictures, but in person, he's phenomenal. CJ was talking to someone when I approached him and when he was finished, I introduced myself. I was hugged instantly, and his smile was magnificent. We talked for a little bit, and when I was able to walk again, I moved away and sat at a nearby table. I don't know what I was worried about. CJ is sweet, friendly, funny and just great to talk to. I love that man,

he's just exceptional.

Golden Adonis is is such an awesome cover. CJ's eyes seem like they can see into your soul. And there's that strong chin, Oh My!, I just want to lick it. And lay my head on his chest. *big sigh*

I so look forward to seeing CJ at any conference I'm able to attend. He just has a way of making you feel so good. He's genuinely happy to see you and just talk about anything. That's one of the other things I love about CJ. He's so down to earth and very approachable and fun to hang out with.  I'm really looking forward to seeing CJ in October!  I can't wait.






The one thing I will say about CJ is that he is all class!


I have a t-shirt that CJ once wore for just a few minutes, I like to smell it,
hug it and sleep with it. Makes me feel like........ ummmm, errrrr..... you know what I mean.   *blushing*






This unbelievably handsome man is Nick Soto. I first met Nick in 2011 at EC's Romanticon. He was a new Caveman. I spent a lot of time just looking at all that hunkiness that is Nick.


This is my all time favorite cover with Nick. I just can't explain it, but this is so sexy and those abs just scream at me to lick them. And those sunglasses just make him the ultimate bad boy!




          And this cover??? OH EM GEE!!!  I'm going to have to buy this book when it comes out in print so I can sleep with it under my pillow.
I was pretty speechless when I first saw this cover the other day. If this is what's waiting in ecstasy, you can sacrifice me to it any time and the quicker the better. GAWD I just want to squeeze those butt cheeks.









    Oh please, spank me! I really like this cover too, it's so smexilicious.
I just made up my own word! heheh

Last year's EC's Romanticon, it seemed like Nick came out of his shell a little bit, that he was a little more comfortable at the conference. He led a Zumba class on Saturday. I wasn't able to participate, but I so enjoyed watching Nick dance! I could watch him dance forever. Nick's smile and energy are infectious, and before you know it, you just want to get up there and join in.                                                                                                  


Here's a picture of the grand prize up for grabs!!!   Lots and lots of yummy pictures and some books!!!

Blurb:

Curvy Ann Griffin has a secret—she’s in love with her longtime best friend and business partner Joe Mathews. After suffering through a date from hell—which definitely wasn’t worth putting on her strangling shapewear for—Ann heads home. How was she supposed to know the night would end with her throwing herself into his arms and allowing him to fulfill her every fantasy?

What’s a guy to do when the woman he loves kisses him senseless? Go with it, that’s what. For more than a decade, Joe has fought back his needs for the voluptuous beauty. In his mind, the only thing missing in their relationship was the ability to explore every inch of her luscious body.

Although sleeping with Ann could destroy everything they have, Joe won’t allow that to happen. He knows they’re made for each other. Now he only needs to convince her.

Excerpt:

     “What the hell was I thinking?” Ann Griffin said as she tugged at the Lycra shapewear cutting off her circulation. She smoothed the black wrap dress over her hips and collapsed into a kitchen chair. “Remind me never to accept a date from a guy who’s just broken up with his girlfriend ever again.”

     Leaning down, Joe Mathews pressed a kiss onto Ann’s cheek. “You should have stayed home with me.”

     The soft brush of his lips heated Ann’s blood to boiling. Air jammed into her lungs. Every inch of her body burned with fresh yearning and mixed with desires she’d spent the evening trying to suppress.

     Ever since he sat next to her in Business 101 over a decade ago her hormones had been doing the tango. Up until now, she’d been able to stamp down her lust for her best friend. But lately her need for him blazed inside her like an inferno needing something to consume. If she wasn’t careful, it would consume her.

     She forced out the breath stuck in her chest. “Why didn’t you go out tonight?”

     “The Patriots were playing the Jets.” Joe moved to the butcher-block countertop and opened a pink pastry box. “I take it your date didn’t go so well?”

     He sliced a huge piece of double chocolate cheesecake and set it in front of her.

     “It was awful.” She pushed the yummy temptation across the table.

     “That’s what you get when you go out with a guy based solely on his looks.”

     “I didn’t go out with Scott for his looks.” The sad fact was she needed space from Joe so she didn’t jump him in the hallway between their bedrooms.

     “Yeah, right,” he said.

     She leaned on her elbows and sighed. “He seemed nice when we talked at the gym,” Ann said, referring to the business the two co-owned.

     To her way of thinking, if she had to suffer though the misery of dating someone who wasn’t Joe she might as well have something nice to look at.

     “I’m sure he was.”

     “Okay,” she admitted. “It didn’t hurt he was shirtless when we were talking. Maybe I don’t have the best judgment when I’m at your place of business.” She laid her head on the table. “I should just wait until after closing to do the accounting paperwork.”

     “Mr. Perfect’s is your business too.” Joe’s strong hands clasped her shoulders and started to massage. “Besides I need all the help I can get.”

     “I’m just a silent partner.”

     “There’s nothing silent about our partnership.” His finger worked the knot at the base of her skull. ”God, you’re tight.”

     A moan slipped passed Ann’s lips. The needy pull in her core deepened with every caress of his finger. Her pussy filled with moist heat. She should let her hormones have their way. Perhaps then she wouldn’t be soaking through her shapewear on a daily basis.

     Ignoring the throbbing pleasure between her legs, she lifted her head. “The gym has the revenue to hire someone to help you out, you know.”

     “Why? It’s fine the way it is.”

     The butterflies dive-bombing her stomach every time she was around Joe told her everything wasn’t fine. “For you maybe.”

     “What?”

     Shit, did I say that out loud?

     “Are you saying our arrangement isn’t working for you anymore?” Joe squeezed the back of her neck and tilted her head up. “I’ll find someone if you want.”

     The concern filling his beautiful sea-green eyes tore at her soul. It wasn’t the gym’s fault she couldn’t keep her hormones under control anymore. “I love helping you build your dream.”

      “Then what is it?”

     Hoping he couldn’t see what his nearness did to her, Ann forced herself to smile. “If I wasn’t bombarded with testosterone-enhanced bodybuilders all the time, Jerry from the office might look better.”

     “The testosterone levels in the gym are all your fault.” He pressed his sexy lips to her forehead.

     “Oh please.”

     Straightening, Joe lifted his broad shoulders. “It’s true. When you rush into the gym, all flushed in your smart business suits and sensible heels, the testosterone levels spike.”

     Lust clawing at her core, Ann swallowed the need to ask if his testosterone spiked when he saw her. She shifted in her seat, hoping to dull the burning need coursing through her.

     Joe moved back to the counter, cut another piece of cheesecake and set it in front of her. “You could use this.”

     “I can’t.” Ann pushed the plate away.

     “Why? It’s your favorite.” Joe sat. “Did you have a big dinner?”

     “No, Scott took me to that new raw food place.” Sighing, she rubbed at a wrinkle creasing the vintage lace tablecloth covering the old drop-leaf table.

     “Pussy. A real man would’ve taken you out for a steak.”

     Talking about her bad date steadied her overactive hormones. “I would have settled for a salad on a plate bigger than a teacup saucer.”

     The dimple on his right cheek winked at her. “So, dinner was a bust.” He wiggled his sexy eyebrows. “What about conversation with Scott’s shirt on?”

     “If you don’t mind hearing about how wonderful his ex was and how if I lost thirty pounds I would be as hot as she was, it was fine.”

     Frowning, he grabbed a plate of cheesecake and jabbed his fork into it. “You’re fine just the way you are.”

     “Scott didn’t seem to think so.” Ann rubbed a hand over her belly. “For two hours I had to listen to how much better-looking I would be if I stayed away from carbs and worked out more.”

     The fork Joe held in his large hand clattered against the Fiestaware plate. “When he comes into the gym on Monday, I’m going to kick his ass.”

     For the first time since she got home, Ann relaxed. “Don’t do that. We need his business.”

     “Fuck his business.” Joe tapped her plate. “Eat up. Cheesecake has protein and calcium.”

     “Make sure you tell my hips that in the morning.”

     “It can’t be all bad.” Lifting his arms, Joe stood. “I eat a piece every day and look at me.”

     Her gaze roamed over all six-foot-two inches of his finely honed frame. She poked her finger into the whipped cream topping of the cheesecake as her stomach clenched—it did every time she set eyes on him and his mega-muscles. “Aren’t you cold without a shirt?”

     “Not with you around.” Handing Ann a fork, Joe folded himself into the chair across from her and dug into his cake.

Blurb:

Abelia, a Boronda Forest Wood Nymph…

She came to Willow Bay to satisfy her curiosity of human life, and got more than she bargained for.

Jack, an archeologist bent on discover…

He can't wait to leave Pennsylvania and return to his explorations in Australia, where life is filled with dingos and roos.

Danger abounds…

Human hunters stalk the enthralling Abelia, and Jack comes to her rescue. The hunters back off, but she suddenly vanishes, and he's left confused as he returns home to the rugged Outback.

They’ll risk it all…

When Abelia magically appears in Jack's kitchen, she must divulge who and what she really is, and risk the mythic people's secret for his help to return home. Meanwhile, he risks his heart to convince her to stay.

Excerpt:

Abelia rocked her hips forward. She rode his hand with instinct, and a passion so pure that it dragged Jack down into her uninhibited intensity. He grasped hold and tugged the top of her sundress down farther and used a ferocious suction on her nipple that caused her to cry out. His thumb pressed and flicked while his finger slid rhythmically deeper. Jack's hard won self-control all but disintegrated as he slipped a second finger into her amazingly snug channel.

Her body jolted with a burst as is she’d become overwhelmed with sensation, and he reveled in her responsiveness. Her hands gripped his wrist, desperately holding him to her, and she again cried out from his teasing fingers.

The wood floor lay unforgiving beneath his knees, yet he hardly felt its bite as he slid lower over Abelia’s body. When his eyes were even with her glistening sex, Jack removed his hand and in a quick movement, replaced it with his mouth. He sealed his lips to the lips of her sex, and sweet nectar tantalized his tongue. Craving more, he licked and sucked, stroking her receptive body closer to climax.

"Should I make you come, sweetheart?" His voice echoed in the empty room as a thought occurred to him. "Can I make you come? Are you different from humans that way?"

"Please, Jack." She gasped, her green eyes glittering like emeralds, filled with need as impatient as his own.

He doubted she was conscious of anything but what her sleek body cried out for, but her eyes were focused on him. He knew she saw him, saw the need within him.

"Please…" she repeated on a moan.

If he didn't get in her soon, he'd crawl out of his bloody skin. His cock was full, throbbing, ready to explode. Jack leaned up and sat back on his heels, easing the zipper down past the lump.  

                                                             © eroticsub

Abelia's eyes widened when his engorged cock sprang free of his jeans, then she licked her lips and smiled. A subtle hip rotation coupled with her unconscious pelvic thrust, and he nearly came unglued before they even began.

One-handed, he shoved his pants down, past his thighs.

Jack hooked an arm behind her knee and stretched her leg up high. With his other hand, he held his rigid penis and bathed the spongy head in her fiery pool of wetness. Her legs flexed, thighs spreading to welcome him, the sight too erotic to bear. A luscious show played as he slipped and slid against her flared pink skin, his cock jerking at the contact with the moist heat. Throbbing and swollen, the head of his cock notched at her snug opening.

He leaned forward and kissed her hard, sweeping inside so she could taste herself on his tongue. In careful, controlled bursts, he pushed inside her snug body by excruciatingly slow inches. Her little tight channel swallowed him up, every agonizing increment.

Abelia threw her head back, keening in loud gusty huffs.

Need consumed him in a roiling storm, and his breath grated fiercely as he wrestled to focus. To stay in control. But it was hopeless. Jack was too primed, the deep-rooted throb of his body an unbearable thrill. He pulled back, and slammed home hard. Again.

And again.

In an instant, her breath hitched and she gasped with unbound pleasure.

While his lips explored her throat, he felt her moan vibrate against them as her body burst around his cock. Convulsions ripped through her that endeavored to squeeze the essence out of him.

                                                              © eroticsub

                                                              

Locked in orgasm, Abelia's body crackled like electricity, humming with astounding bliss.

Never before had he felt a splintered impact of pleasure as he did right now with her body milking him in turbulent upheaval. And never had he experienced such a sense of amazing satisfaction when she lay breathless and seemingly boneless beneath him.

Close to the edge of a mind-blowing cliff, he lurched forward once more. He ground himself so deep into her womb that he felt the rising wave of his release from a different plane within him.

Abelia lifted her sweet thighs to wrap them higher over his hips. It sank him further into her, and he shattered.

For a moment, he made no sound. His vocal cords remained frozen in spasm as he crested over. A star burst behind his tightly shuttered eyes and sudden scalding heat pulsed from his body and into hers. The release burst forth in profound, satisfying rushes that forced him to cry out from deep in his throat.

Gripped in endless pleasure, the tense muscles in his braced arms trembled as he was hit by the percussion of rippling post-orgasmic shudders that coursed through her, obliterating his consciousness.

Glorious bloody hell.

CBP--Cara Carnes Blog Tour

Hello and welcome to For Whom The Books Toll! Today is
my stop on Cara's blog tour. I'll be posting an excerpt from
Cara's book, Passion's Claim book 2 of the Pleasure Brigade
Series.  The tour runs April 8 through April 29 and there will
be one grand prize winner drawn from all rafflecopter entries for
a $50 gift card for Amazon, Barnes & Noble or ARe, winner's
choice. There will also be copies of Passion's Claim up for
grabs. Good luck everyone.

Autumn Scott succumbs to temptation and journeys to The
Brigade, a private BDSM resort, for another naughty weekend
with sexy neighbor Kade Berges. She expects a chance to further
explore her fantasies, but finds herself wanting more when Kade
and his three friends push her boundaries and welcome her into 
their world. 

Kade Berges hadn't intended to share more than a 
few nights of passion with his insatiable New York neighbor,
but thanks to meddling friends, he finds himself unwilling to
accept anything less than Autumn's full submission. Whether
she's ready remains to be seen.


Autumn might've been Kade's to claim from the beginning but
she made a hell of an impression on us all the moment we met 
her. I knew she was special from the get go. She'd done the
impossible and gotten all my buddies remembering her after they
returned from New York. I wasn't necessarily on board with the
plan Chase, Lance and Lorenzo concocted to get her here to Texas
and in The Brigade but the moment she pulled up at the security
gate I knew she was where she was meant to be.
~~Master Stryker, Chief of Security for The Brigade

Excerpt:
     "Name?"
     Autumn bit back the apprehensive questions leaping into her mind. Was she at the right place? She peered forward. Lush, manicured grass and large oaks lined a driveway long enough to be declared a highway in most states.
     The guard leaned down. His blue eyes glimmered with amusement. "All I need is a first name, sweetheart."
     "Autumn." Heat rose in her cheeks as she realized she'd been
sitting there gawking at the surroundings rather than paying attention. "I think my..." What the hell was Kade? A friend? Definitely not in the boyfriend category. Yet. "I'm meeting someone
here."
     "The pretty ones always are." He reached down on his belt and
retrieved a metallic bracelet, which he placed in a handheld computer device. "Your first time here?"
     She nodded. "Where am I?"
     He chuckled. "If you don't know, I'm looking forward to watching your reaction." He held out his hand. "Your wrist, ma'am."
     Autumn obliged. Warm fingers ran across her skin. "No need to
be frightened. No one here bites newbies." He winked and lowered his voice to a sensual whisper. A soft click secured the device to 
her wrist. "You'll wear this for the duration of your time here. It
has a tracker, as well as a microchip for us to keep track of your...
needs."
     A shiver ran down her spine and resonated between her clutched thighs. "Thank you."
     "My pleasure, sweetheart." His finger ran across her cheek.
"Where did Kade find a beautiful morsel like you?"
     "How did you know it was him I was meeting?"
     He tapped the computer device as he placed it back on his belt. A prominent bulge drew her attention. She swallowed.
     She looked away when he chuckled. His fingers ran to her chin
and maneuvered her face until his gaze captured hers. "Eyes are the
windows to the soul, sweetheart. Don't deny me what small glimpse I may have."

     She nodded. A wicked grin softened the harsh contours of his

jawline. "You going to answer my question, sweetheart?"

     There'd been a question. Oh yeah, where they'd met. "New

York City. He's my neighbor."

     "I was afraid you were going to say that. I was supposed to go

on that trip with Lance." His fingers ran down her cheek. "Such

a shame I missed...meeting you."

     Oh. My. God. He exuded a dark, dangerous aura. He crouched

to eye level, but the movement was controlled, like a caged panther, sleek, hungry, and on the prowl for a new morsel to nibble. Moisture pooled between her legs as she imagined Lance with him

pinning her down and spreading her legs wide to accommodate them. Or him and Kade. Her nipples hardened and she shifted in

her seat.

     "Such a shame indeed." He kissed the back of her hand before

standing. "I'm Stryker. This red button pages me. Don't ever be

afraid to use it. I'll be happy to see to any of your wishes." He

winked and motioned the driver to proceed. "Welcome to The

Brigade."
