Winner!!! And a little teaser.....

First up... congratulations to Sherry who is the winner of my giveaway on the 'When Sparks Fly' blog hop. It was a great hop, with some brilliant books and  my TBR list is even longer than it was before (how did I survive before I got my kindle?!).

And because the heat is rising over here (yes, we have seen some sun!) I thought I'd share an excerpt from 'Surrender Your Soul'. If you met James in Riding High, well he's back, or at least he's on his way....

“What do you fantasise about Kez? Not two men?”
She shook her head and looked at him like he was mad, but didn’t move. “No, I told you. I want one man,” she hesitated, “who I want so much I don’t need anyone else.” A blush of pink had edged its way along her cheekbones and she wasn’t a devil, she was more a fallen angel who had nothing to lose. “Even if it’s just for that moment.”
“One man who will do everything you ask him to?”
“No.” She licked her bottom lip nervously but her gaze didn’t waver from his. “I want him to take control.”
“To do what he wants to you?” His balls were tingling, stirring with the kind of need he usually reserved for the dreams that crept up on him. Nightmares that turned him on and frightened him off.
“No.” She swayed slightly. “I want someone who will do what he knows I want him to.”
“A mind reader.”
“You know what I want. I open my mind, you open yours.”
“You want me to pin you down.” This wasn’t going the way it was supposed to. But he wasn’t sure he cared. He wanted her in a way he couldn’t remember wanting a woman in a long time, he wanted to please her. He wanted to fuck her. “Hold you down so you can’t say no.” His cock burned against his groin, he could feel the dampness of pre cum that made him want her more. “Hold your legs open as I explore you inside, and you can’t move, can’t stop the sensations.” Her throat gave a tremor as she swallowed, her lips gently parted, waiting. “You want to be turned on until you’re begging for me to fuck you, but I don’t.” She never moved as he stepped round her, stood behind her so that he could kiss her neck, shoulder, let the sweet smell of her sex grab at him even more. He nipped at the delicate skin with his teeth and she whimpered. He couldn’t stand much more of this, he really did need to push his way inside that soft body. “You want me to play with you, finger you inside until you want to clutch at me with your thighs, make yourself come, but I don’t let you. I hold your legs wide, force you to let it build, force your body to let go.”

“Just fucking do it.” She spun round, went up on tip toe, her body trembling with tension against his and reached up to kiss him. But he beat her to it. His mouth was crushing her soft lips, bruising, needing, as his teeth skated along the edge of her tongue. She pulled away, panting. “What do you want, James?”

Bebe Balocca is back! (With tigers)

I'm excited to have Bebe Balocca here again today. Her latest book 'The Curse of the Tiger' is out now and she's agreed to let me interview one of her characters. So here is Faline Hopper!

Quick fire Character interview... 

Hi Faline, can you please introduce yourself, in a sentence! 
I inherited a free range tiger refuge from my dad, but unless I get some major financial help it's going to go belly up.

Perfect partner in 10 words or less?
A powerful, fearless guy who's a Southern gentleman at heart.

Instant turn off in a woman/man?
A lack of appreciation for nature.

Fav drink/food?
Spring water most days, but every now and then I indulge in some fine whisky.

What you do to unwind?
I like to kick back on my porch and look out over Kat's Crest Refuge. Canoeing on the river is great, too--the Colorado landscape is beautiful.

What winds you up?
I get furious about animals being mistreated. It's something that I just can't tolerate.

Key thing in the first chapter for you?
I meet this guy who wants to work at my refuge for free--what's up with that?

Where does the tiger fit in (10 words or less!)?
An abused tiger escapes from a mean old lady's menagerie.

Hook me – why do I want to read the story and find out more about you?
I'm willing to lay it all on the line to save Kat's Crest, but I have a terrible feeling that it might be the end of me.

Thanks for stopping by Faline (and Bebe), I'm intrigued!! So here's where you can find out more...


About Bebe:

I live in a teeny-tiny town in the southeastern United States, surrounded by rolling hills and lots of cows. My house is brimming with my rowdy sons, hot husband, and more pets than I can shake a stick at. When I close my eyes, though, I’m in a white stucco villa on the Mediterranean, sipping red wine and watching the turquoise waves crash at my feet. Next to my hot husband, naturally.

When Sparks Fly - Blog Hop and Giveaway!


The sparks tend to fly in all my books - so how could I resist this hop?

For a bit of summer loving, I've got you a hot Spaniard who is offering more than tapas....

Excerpt - 'Spice It Up'

Don’t –’ Too late. Her hair tumbled down and her whole body swayed towards him of its own accord. He slowly twirled a ringlet of her hair round his finger and she didn’t feel like she dare move; a tug, a gentle pull that sent a tingle through her scalp, all the way down between her thighs. She swallowed. ‘Maybe I …’ Should go, but she didn’t want to. His thumb brushed over her lips and they parted automatically so that she could taste his skin, run the tip of her tongue over the salty flesh. ‘I can’t, I shouldn’t, you’re bad news for me, you know.’

He ran the thumb up over her cheekbone. ‘Really?’

‘You’ve just given me a day to remember for all the wrong reasons.’

‘I could make it a day to remember for all the right reasons.’ His breath was warm against her neck. His fingers played in her hair, sending bad thoughts through her body.

‘No.’ It didn’t sound convincing even to her own ears. ‘Who was that woman?’

‘Later.’

His finger moved slowly across her lips and she caught the tip instinctively between her teeth, circled it with her tongue, her gaze locked with his.

‘Can I kiss you?’ There was something about the catch in his voice that seemed to tug her closer to him.
She might have nodded, or she might not, but he knew. The warmth of his palm was against her neck, his fingers at the nape and then threading through her hair, massaging gently until she couldn’t help but close the gap between them. She wanted him, needed him. His mouth was above hers; the tip of his tongue ran over her lips as his hand reached out for her waist and he eased her gently back until the cold of the wall hit her shoulders.....

If you enjoyed the excerpt, you can grab a copy at - Amazon (UK), Amazon (US), Xcite Books

'Ultimate Gift' by Candy Knight

Thank you so much, Zara, for letting me visit today. I'm very excited to drop by on my first blog tour. I'm here to promote my début anthology, 'Ultimate Gift', a collection of six erotic short stories written to stimulate desire and satisfy one's hidden cravings.

I like to draw on my own sexual exploits for inspiration, I find reliving these adventures very sensual, which I'm told by other erotic authors is a good thing.

One of my stories is about having illicit sex in a situation where the couple might be caught or discovered. I know this is a popular turn on for a lot of people, including me. I remember being in deep thicket on a Surrey golf course when a wayward ball landed about four inches from our heads. We laid as still as corpses as the owner of said ball poked around in the shrub just feet away from us for a good ten minutes before leaving empty-handed which was very lucky for us as neither of us had a stitch on!

It was never my intention to write erotica, my plan was to write 'How To' books and I had a good deal of success. However, after the third one, I was bored and thought there had to be something more exciting to do but I didn't know what. Just a couple of days later I saw an advertisement for a course on writing erotic fiction and I booked it without hesitating.

I'm a firm believer in writing what you know and feel and the two things I know a great deal about are weight loss and sex, after all, I've been married three times! So, I self-published a couple of erotic stories and they have been very popular, so much so that I have included them in the my début anthology 'Ultimate Gift'.

I am currently working on the first book in a paranormal trilogy, 'Flight of Fancy'. The main character, Becky, is an astral planing voyeur. She uses the technique to satisfy her sexual desires and she becomes so accomplished that she is able to possess another person's body. She wreaks a terrible revenge after being betrayed by someone she trusts. I think it is very different and I hope the readers will enjoy its unorthodox approach.

Blurb
Ultimate Gift 

Elizabeth needs a stiff drink and a hug from her friend after spending six torturous hours in the car with David. On their arrival they meet two stunning guests; the smoking-hot porn star, Suzy, and the dark enigmatic Toby. As the evening progresses inhibitions relax and sexual tensions start to rise. Could this diversion be just what they need to spice up their humdrum marriage or will it go too far?

Dream Surfer
Layne has a passion for impromptu sex in the open air. Her sporting accident prevents her from joining her lover in the surf and he leaves her sunbathing on the secluded beach. As the sun beats down on her near-naked body, her mind starts to drift to the inevitable passion she will share with her lover when he returns cool from the sea to soothe the heat from her body.

Lapping It Up
Married for eighteen years, frustrated housewife Trudy lusts after the passion she once shared with her husband. Recognising that something drastic has to be done, she asks her best friend to help. At first Dawn is flabbergasted by Trudy's disclosure but agrees to work with her to plan a passionate evening that their husbands will not forget. Will they discover new appetites for their husbands or for each other?

Disciplining Jayne
Jayne fantasises about having sex with a stranger in uniform, just thinking about it makes her hot and wet. She arranges a birthday treat for herself, a night of passion to fulfil her dream. She gives very explicit instructions for the evening's entertainment. However, her handsome escort has other ideas.

Rumour Has It
The mysterious Kate meets her perfect man when she spills water over his impeccably polished shoes. Tim instantly falls for the striking red-head and spends the nights fulfilling her every need until an unexpected phone call reveals Kate's secret. Will the revelation rip them apart? Or will lust really overcome?

Unintentional Mistress
Bethany meets Max at a Christmas party and their mutual desire cannot be controlled. Events take an unexpected turn when Bethany discovers that she's the 'other women'. She knows that she should walk away, but can she bring herself to leave the sexually-charged Max? Or will she stay and have her heart torn apart?

Excerpt - From the title story Ultimate Gift
Looking around the candle-lit table there was a deep feeling of intimacy between all the guests.

Guy proffered me a black shiny olive on a cocktail stick. I opened my mouth and hooking my tongue around it I plucked it off. He smiled seductively and stabbed another suggestively, this time a green one stuffed with bright red pepper. He held it to his lips and kissed it before popping it into my mouth. I had never perceived that anything so innocent could be so sexually electrifying.

Guy’s hand had moved a little further up my leg and was stroking it lightly. I was concerned that someone would notice but as I glanced around it was apparent that everyone was otherwise engaged, including Hilly.

I opened my legs wider to further accommodate Guy's warm and wandering fingers, thoughts of David and Suzie completely forgotten. The three large rum and cokes and the two glasses of wine that I had already consumed had the desired effect of making me feel very mellow indeed.

It was rather surreal, sitting and looking around the table watching people quietly chatting while having my leg tenderly fondled whilst Guy spoke to me in the lowest most intimate tone.

I decided to reciprocate the attention and moved my hand to the inside of his thigh, when I felt Toby's hand on my other leg. My stomach tingled with anticipation – two men were paying attention to my inner thighs in public. It felt an incredible turn on. I would like to have explored Toby's leg but I had only just moved my palm flat against Guys hard muscled thigh so it would have been crass not to continue.

Nevertheless, I moved towards Toby slightly and smiled seductively to show him that I was enjoying the attentiveness that he was bestowing upon me.

'So, you and Guy have known each other since Uni, you must have a lot in common to have remained friends for so long.' I breathed the words provocatively.

He smelt absolutely divine, clean citrus mixed with musk wafted from his warm skin. I had the most overwhelming urge to lick his face, right there in front of everyone in the room.

'Yes, indeed, we enjoy sharing exquisite things,' he paused looking into my eyes, 'Especially beautiful women.'

As he spoke he leaned towards me gently increasing the pressure on my thigh, his breath caressed my jaw bone brushing the soft skin of my throat making me quiver. His lips gently brushed the tip of my nose. I could have dragged him from the chair and fucked him right there. All the while Guy was still tenderly caressing my leg, as I was his.
