    My Sexy Saturday 2

    MySexySaturday_buttonWelcome to My Sexy Saturday, where writers share 7 words, 7 lines or 7 paragraphs from their work.

    Today, I’m sharing 7 lines from MORE THAN WORDS, my ‘dirty Scrabble’ erotic romance. In this book, the hero & heroine meet online, playing Scrabble on an adults-only, chat-based site. (Sorry, it’s a fictional site! lol)

    In this little snippet, Travis and Calli are online, mid-game, and the first line is a chat message from Travis.


    Want to?

    Was he suggesting cyber-sex? Virtual or otherwise, she didn’t have a clue how to begin. She’d never had an orgasm with a man, not even close. Her limited sexual encounters had all been so awkward and fast, she hadn’t even had time to fake an orgasm.

    But she had to say something… Yes.

    Sunday Snippet – WIP – Sam’s Book

    wewriwa_square_4It’s Sunday Snippet time, part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme. Thanks for stopping here, and make sure you click that pic to see the full list of this week’s participating writers.

    This week, I’m posting from one of my WIPs. I’ve been bouncing around between a few of them this summer, and this week I’m back to working on Sam & Leigh’s story. Sam is the hero’s best buddy in BODY OF WORK, a 28-year-old personal trainer at his friend’s brand-new gym. Leigh is a 42-year-old former client from his previous workplace.

    In this snippet from the opening pages, they’ve bumped into each other in a downtown coffee shop. It’s been a couple months since Sam changed jobs and they haven’t seen each other since. Leigh has succumbed to his charm and joined him at a table. (The first line of dialogue is hers, and this excerpt is in her POV.)


    “Are you trying to lure me away from Iron Works to Focus Fitness…is that ethical?”

    Strong yet gentle fingers removed one of her hands from its death-grip on the cup and pulled it toward him, halfway across the table. He pressed a card to her palm. Continued holding her hand, stroking his thumb over her skin while smiling. “If it works, I don’t give a shit about ethics.”

    “Anything to snag a client?” Oh god, her voice — hopefully he’d missed the breathy quality so evident to her ears, simply from his hand touching hers.

    “I don’t need another client, Leigh.”


    And that’s it for now. (Remember, that’s an unpolished snippet up there!) I’m enjoying spending more time with Sam (the charmer, who wouldn’t?), and Leigh is turning out to be a really strong heroine. She’s going to have to be… I have some twists in store for these two. 😉

    My Sexy Saturday – Body of Work

    MySexySaturday_buttonWelcome, and thanks for visiting! This is my first contribution to My Sexy Saturday. Click that picture to visit the website for a full list of this week’s participating writers.

    bodyofworkThe rules say I can post 7 words or 7 sentences or 7 paragraphs. Today I’m going with 7 sentences from my May release, BODY OF WORK, a very hot gym romance.

    A little bit of setup here…the hero and heroine are in a pavilion in a public park, after a boot camp workout. 😉


    She attempted to scootch away from his advancing mouth. “I’m sweaty from the workout.”

    “I’ve licked your pussy after it had a much harder workout than this morning’s boot camp, remember?” The fingers in his hair said yes, she did. “You tasted like heaven then, just like you will now.”

    “What about other people?”

    “They’ll have to find their own piece of heaven, I’m not sharing mine.”

    Sunday Snippet – Romance Is Dangerous – Body of Work

    Sunday snippet time, part of the Weekend Writing Warriors eight-sentence meme.

    This week finds us with Cassie and Brian from BODY OF WORK, with Cassie giving the sweet-talking hero her thoughts on romance…

    “You have something against romance?” he asked.

    “Yes, actually, I do. Romance is dangerous. And when you talk to me that way, I want more days like this. Making dinner together and endless sex and other dangerously romantic stuff. I am a woman, you know.”

    His head lifted enough for her to see the twinkle in his eyes. “Oh, I did notice — though I’m always up for a refresher course of that fact.”

    Everybody’s Doing the 7 Meme

    Over on Facebook, three of my awesome author friends — Cara Bristol, Stacey Kennedy and Siobhan Muir — tagged me to participate in a “7” meme. In this game, you go to page 7 or 70 in your Work in Progress and post 7 lines that include dialogue. Well, if you know my writing style, you know I love dialogue! But since this my blog, I decided to cheat a little…don’t count the lines, because there are a lot more than 7. 😉

    So here goes. An unedited excerpt from page 7 of my untitled, almost-finished WIP:


    “Hey dream girl.”

    That voice. She turned—gravitated, really—toward the rich sound. Several people stood between her and the owner’s twinkling, deep-blue eyes. She silently mouthed the words ‘hey asshole’, but her face betrayed her yet again by smiling. Without apologizing, he detoured around the customers separating them and deposited his armful of products behind her heaping pile.

    “You just cut in front of four people.”

    “I wanted to be behind you.” He took his time perusing her body before meeting her eyes again. “I’m sure nobody blames me for that.”

    “She does.” Paige pointed at the somewhat-shrunken woman chirping at him in Italian. Or maybe Portuguese. Hard to tell which, but the lady was definitely peeved.

    He showed zero concern, didn’t even bother to look. “Did my t-shirt keep you warm last night?”

    “Very.” She leaned closer to him. “Especially when I was lying on my sheepskin rug…watching it burn in the fireplace.”

    He barked out a laugh, attracting the attention of everyone in their line and beyond. “That was my favorite t-shirt.”

    “I don’t think you’ll miss it.” She nodded at his current apparel—an identical, plain black t-shirt.

    He shook his head, still smiling. “Big attitude for such a tiny thing.”

    “I’m not tiny.”

    “No?” He stepped closer. Invaded her space with his massive everything.

    “I’m average. You’re just—” Her eyes drifted across his shoulders, then down. “Huge.” Heat flared in her cheeks as the last word slipped from her mouth in a breathy tone that belonged in the bedroom, not the superstore checkout line. Shit. “Don’t even go there.”

    He shrugged, a wolfish grin spreading across his stubble-shadowed face. “You said it, not me.”

    And now they both knew she was thinking about his cock. Awesome.


    That’s all for now. What you think… Like it? Hate it?

    Sunday Snippet-Body of Work

    Thanks for stopping by to read my Sunday Snippet. We’re still hanging out with Brian and Cassie from BODY OF WORK. In this little scene, Brian, the 6’2″ hero, is reaching around Cassie. That’s all the setup you should need. 😉


    “Long arms for the win,” he said as her eyes tracked his movement.

    “I like that you’re big.” A pink blush flooded her cheeks. “I didn’t mean your — you know.”

    Both of them looked down at his you know.

    “Not big enough?” As if commanded, his cock stood a little taller. Good boy.

    Sunday Snippet – Body of Work

    bodyofworkTime for eight very sexy sentences!

    Today’s excerpt is from BODY OF WORK, and comes to you as part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme. Make sure you check out the list of participating authors, and thank you so much for stopping here.  🙂

    On to the snippet. What woman wouldn’t like to hear a speech like this one, from Brian to Cassie…

    ♥◊♥

    “Give me a taste of rough and raw and I have to fight not to get lost in it, to give in to my possessiveness. And it’s so fucking strong with you. If I had my way, I’d tattoo my name on your pretty little body as a warning to anybody who dared look too closely, and a reminder to you exactly where you belong. Then I’d keep you so incredibly well-fucked you wouldn’t have the time or energy to look at another man.”

    At some point during his speech, her bones must’ve dissolved, because she’d utterly melted against his big, hard body. “Stay.”

    “There’s more.”

    “I don’t care — tell me after I’m so well-fucked the only thing I can do is lie there and listen.”

    ♥◊♥

    Sunday Snippet – Game Plan

    GP-paperbackSince tomorrow is Canada Day, I’m pulling eight sentences from GAME PLAN. There’s an integral scene in Game Plan that occurs on Canada Day, as the hero takes the heroine to meet his friends and family for the first time, at his family’s annual barbecue bash. Andie’s nervous, so to distract her as they’re making their entrance, Mason has this to say to her…


    “All right, here’s one thing I’ve been thinking about all week — you, naked on your stomach, hands stretched above your head while I do a dot-to-dot using your freckles and my tongue. I’m gonna start with the one under your left ear.”

    “Where’s the last dot?”

    The squeaky gate drew attention. At least half a dozen pairs of eyes zoned in on their next move. He smiled at their audience, lowered his head to whisper in her ear, “Are you aware of the little mole you have down low in the crack of your ass?”

    She turned her head to face him, wide-eyed. Yeah, she knew exactly where he planned to put his tongue.

    Have a great Sunday, and to all my fellow Canucks, Happy Canada Day on Monday!

    Sunday Snippet – Body of Work

    It’s summer here! Finally! Today’s Sunday snippet is from BODY OF WORK, and comes to you as part of the Weekend Writing Warriors meme. It’s summer where Brian and Cassie are, too. In this excerpt, they’re in her backyard, attempting to have a dinner date, but Cassie’s barbeque has just died a spectacular death on her patio, and she’s agreed to let him get rid of the debris for her.

    And, here we go, with the snippet. Take it away, Brian…

    bodyofwork“Anything else I can take care of?”

    She tapped a finger on his chest and tried not to giggle. Or give too much credence to his offer, tempting as it was to picture him as the man of her house. “Do you do yard work?”

    “I do.” A smile tugged at the corner of his mouth. The wind that followed set fire to her panties. “But I know for a fact you don’t have a bush that needs trimming.”
