What possessed her to go through with this was beyond her.  Lacey had no intentions of ever going to Let’s Get Acquainted, until Maëlle called her a heartless shrew who took her friendship for granted and treated her even worse.  Then she had to go and start crying. Okay I’m a lot of things, yes, I am a little mean sometimes but Maëlle is my best friend. I love her like a sister, she thought. 
Let’s Get Acquainted, Lacey thought, what a name for a matchmaking service.
Lacey looked out for the centuries old grove of olive trees that Maëlle told her to look for. It signaled she was approaching the turn that would lead her straight up the hill to the Stately Mansion.
She parked her car in front of a huge old rose arbor. The rustic old world charm of it was beautiful. She looked beyond the arch way and saw that magnolia trees stood on each side of it. Her gaze looked past them and there stood a magnificent garden.
For several minutes she just sat in her car and stared mesmerized. She wondered how beautiful everything would look at full bloom in the summer.
A few minutes later she got out of her car and took the walkway heading to the house.  She had every intention of ringing the doorbell.  She looked for it but couldn’t find one.  A strange doorknocker seemed to appear out of nowhere. A shiver ran down her spine.

****

Mystified, Lacey just stood there and looked at it and refused to touch it. 
The door slowly crept open.
“Hello, and welcome to Let’s Get Acquainted,” I’m your host for the night Mrs. CJ Oshun. But most people just drop the CJ.”
  A very petite lady waived her in and turned and started walking down the hallway. “Welcome to the Magnolia Heights Mansion.”
“The lady must have been standing watch at the window,” Lacey thought.
As Lacey walked behind the small frail delicate little old lady, she studied her. She was wearing a spectacular green dress that had a bold magical green effect to it.  Her deep green dress was framed by an exquisitely beautiful burgundy and gold scarf that resembled the beautiful folds of a sari.
When Mrs. Oshun spoke, her voice sounded like melodious singing.
Lacey followed closely behind her, silently.

*****

Mrs. Oshun spoke as she walked.  “Your face looks like I need to tell you the absolute truth, she sung out. “My true name is Madame CJ Fortier.  I have given myself the name of Mrs. CJ Oshun after my late husband. He was my second husband. He was originally from Santería Cuba. You know. In his country the name Oshun means he who reigns over love. In some cultures it refers to a spiritual goddess.” She nodded. “Anyway, that said. You may call me Mrs. Oshun,” she said, as she abruptly stopped walking.
Mrs. Oshun turned and studied Lacey’s face.
All at once Mrs. Oshun reached out her hands and cupped Lacey’s face. “And believe it or not, I know who you are Lacey Kadira Catherine La Cour”! She exclaimed. “Oh, my……I would know your face anywhere. You look just like your mother Pearl.”
Mrs. Oshun’s green eyes sparkled like emeralds. “Sorry but there is no time to explain how I know you. Come, come. We must get started. She urged Lacey to follow her down the all.

Book Tour: Trusting Love Again @starla_kaye #ContemporaryRomance #Abuse #Healing @BlackVelvetSeductions



Book Title: Trusting Love Again
Publisher: Black Velvet Seductions
Date Published: November 8, 2015
ISBN: 2940156674237
ASIN: B017RNS888
Genre: Contemporary romance
Heat Rating: 3
Page Count:  99



All she wants is to start over, live a peaceful life…

After an abusive marriage and an ugly divorce, Toni needs to rebuild her self-confidence and start a new life in her hometown. Going home again and confronting people she’d hurt when she’d left is never easy. She’d hung onto the idea of buying a long-abandoned old house and remodeling it to help her recover. But a man from her past has recently purchased it for his business. That’s her emotional breaking point and she does something reckless. Now she must pay the legal consequences of her foolish actions…by working for him.

All he wants is to focus on his work…

Chad’s job as a lawyer working to protect the rights of the abused elderly consumes his time and energy. It cost him his marriage and an aborted child he hadn’t known about. Now he works harder, guards his bruised heart. Yet the return of someone he’d held secret feelings for comes back to town. She upsets his world, starting with minor destruction of his business property and causing him minor injury. He shouldn’t become involved in helping this troubled woman, yet he can’t keep from doing so.

Two heart-damaged people have trouble trusting love again.




  
  



“You’re taking so long,” she said breathlessly, frowning.

“I guess it’s time to get started.” He stroked his thick shaft while she shivered with anticipation. Their gazes met and he gave a wicked grin. “Thank you for letting me do this.”

He stroked himself again, then guided the cock until it touched her pulsing, swollen lips. The sight was exciting to watch, but she had to turn her head away. She didn’t want him to see how badly she wanted him. It would be there in her eyes, she was certain of that. She braced herself mentally and physically. And waited.

But he didn’t keep her in suspense for more than a second. He gripped her hips with his big hands and the elastic bandage rubbed lightly against her. She barely had time to think about it before he drove deep inside her.

“Ohhh. Oh my,” she gasped at the fullness.

“Are you all right?” he asked in concern. He held still in her body and she quickly adjusted to the thick invasion.

She pressed backward and his balls met her bottom. She shivered, longing for more.

“I take that for a ‘yes.’” He pulled nearly out as she moaned in disgruntlement. He chuckled and thrust deep once more. “Demanding woman, aren’t you?”

Every inch of him smoothed against her sensitized skin, rubbed places inside her in such a delicious way. But a demanding woman? It had been a long time since she wanted a man to have his way with her. Stanley’s way had never been enjoyable, at least not for her. A thought which annoyed her. Stanley was in her past. Chad just might be her future. An idea that worried her.

Enough thinking about that! “How about speeding it up a little?” she beseeched, quivering all over.

“Yes, ma’am.” He began driving back and forth as she’d requested. His grip on her hips tightened and she heard his heavy breathing.

A part of her braced for roughness, for his undeniable power over her. Not Stanley. Remember that.

He eased back on the rhythm, moved more gently. “I want this to be good for you, Antoinette.”

She could sense how much this slowing down was costing him and that knowledge endeared him to her even more. He wanted to make her climax first. Another special gift from him. The notion, along with the steady drive in and out, touching the most intimate part of her, had her panting. She squeezed her eyes shut as the sensations built.

Book Tour: Turn Card (The Kathleen Turner Series) by @Destiny Blaine #Romance #Military


~Not everyone plays by the rules~

Kade Dennon tried to stay away from his brother’s girlfriend and remain loyal to the only family he’s ever known but Kathleen Turner is his forbidden fruit. Eventually temptation drags Kade back to Indianapolis and the one woman who feels like home.

~The players changed but the game remains the same~

Kathleen Turner knows what she wants and who she desires. She seizes a new job and an opportunity unfolds. Soon, she’s working with her boyfriend’s brother and nothing will ever be the same again when Kade stakes a claim and aims for Kathleen’s heart.

~It's impossible to break a player who refuses to lose~

Blane Kirk needs his brother Kade to keep his girlfriend safe but when Blane sends Kathleen out of Indianapolis to protect her, he has no idea what kind of danger Kade and Kathleen will find while testing a new Las Vegas casino loyalty program. When an old enemy resurfaces with threats and an agenda, Blane goes to Sin City to warn his brother and discovers a few unwanted surprises of his own.

~A house of cards now destined to fall~

Working side by side, Kathleen’s and Kade’s relationship quickly changes, a fact they can’t deny. Seduction and passion lead them to a night that will scorch the sand right off the Mohave Desert and this time, foreplay won’t sustain them. With no one to stop them, Kade and Kathleen tread into the realms of unforgivable betrayal. And when Blane arrives in Vegas, he realizes too late that his brother is now playing for keeps.






 “What are you doing?”
He unlatched the sliding door and stepped out on the terrace. “What does it look like I’m doing?” His eyes twinkled with man-lust, the absolute longing as evident as the mischief.
“We’re naked.”
“Why are you whispering?” He laughed, turning his head and adding with a shout, “I’m on the rooftop with my girl and she’s beautiful and sexy and very, very naked!”
Below them, the Las Vegas Strip responded with the busy traffic almost mocking them with an abundance of honking horns and squealing tires.
“Kade!” She slapped his chest playfully and that’s when his words hit her. It wasn’t the first that he’d called her out as ‘his’ girl.
“No one is watching us,” he promised her, the seriousness returning. “No one cares.”
“I do,” she admitted softly, meaning something entirely different than what he’d implied.
He inched closer to the hot tub, studying her face as if he were seeing her for the very first time. Then, a second later, a veil dropped over his solemn expression and the light of mischief returned, burning brighter than before.
“Don’t even think about it,” she said, holding tighter to his neck. “I don’t want to mess up my hair.”
“That’s bound to happen either way,” he said gruffly.                         
“Kade.”
“Princess.”
“Don’t you—”
Splash! Splash!
He dumped her over the side and followed right behind her. The hot water and cool night air were a perfect combination. She came up for air, gasping and laughing.
The large tub was more like a private plunge pool. She swam to the other side, admiring Kade as he shook out his watered-down hair before smoothing his hands over his head and stalking her.
Without another verbal exchange, he went to her then with apparent goals. He dragged her away from the wall of jets, pulling her to his lap as he settled against a corner seat in a private alcove.
Underneath her bottom, his manhood stretched and she pressed against him. “Kade.” She faced him, careful not to rush a more intimate connection as she lowered her mouth to his and took the lead.
After a minute of kissing, he dropped his head to her breasts and from that moment on, the groping turned physical. Their hunger drove them. Their desires for one another kept them bound to more carnal intentions.
“Turn around.” His demanding voice left her with a tingling sensation in all the right places. Her stomach tightened as he positioned her in front of him, making sure she faced outward. At that point, he brought her back to his lap, his mouth a haven of merciless passion, splendor like she’d never known.

Guest Interview with Iris Blobel, Author of Australian Sports Stars Series #Sports #Romance



The business questions
Please give us a short introduction about yourself
I was born and raised in Germany, met my Australian husband in Canada and followed him the other end of the world in the late 1990s. I have two beautiful girls who keep me on my toes, a dog, and a couple of budgies. I started a writing a few years ago, and can’t stop the voices in my head since – but I’m loving their company.
Tell us about your latest release.
My latest release is book #3 in the Australian Sports Stars series, I think I love you. It’s about soccer player Markus DeLeon and childhood friend Sarah who cross the line between of being friends and lovers – and don’t seem to be able to know how to deal with the new situation.
Describe your feelings when you learnt that your first book was accepted for publication.
OMG, I think we went out for dinner that day, celebrated, and I’m sure I told everyone who’d listen … and those who wouldn’t. I felt humbled and excited about the idea that a publisher liked my story. It was really bizarre. Nowadays I get a lame “Well done, mum” from my girls, which makes me laugh and cry at the same time.
Where do you find inspiration?
I usually get new ideas for my books while on holidays. We all like travelling and we’re always having a great time. So most of my stories are set based on places I’ve been to.
A favourite line from one of your books
I’ve got a few J
“My knee, my injury, my questions.” from Let Me Love You
“That, my dear, is a mystery to be solved.”  From Love Will Find You
“I’m not sure whether you're my lemonade. You seem more like cola to me. Tempting and yummy, but not good for one's health." From New Beginnings
Your favourite drink and food when writing
Zero Coke and homemade waffles

The nosy ones
What’s the silliest error in a book you’ve submitted?
Oh wow, considering that English is my second language, there are quite a few, but sorry, I cannot recall one in particular.
Favourite comfort food?
Unfortunately I’ve accumulated a nice amount of food intolerances, so comfort food doesn’t exist anymore – but it used to be bikkies.
A person you admire
My mum.
If you could ask any person in the world one question of your choice, who would it be and what would you ask them?
Anybody  -  “Why do we hate?”

The fast ones

Author website / blog: http://iris-b.blogspot.com/



Markus DeLeon and Sarah Winter’s lives couldn’t be more different… 

After three years away as the goalkeeper for an English soccer club, Markus has been happy to be back in Australia. He’d missed his family and friends, including Sarah. He’s known her since childhood, and often protected her from the teasing of other children and the troubling consequences of a broken home. 

When they attend their friends’ wedding, a new light is cast on their friendship… 

Sarah is fresh out of a bad relationship, and Markus has always been the one she can confide in. Maybe it’s the magic of the wedding—or how stunning he looks in a tux—but the attraction between them intensifies in ways they’d never imagined. 

But sometimes when risking what you have, you might lose everything… 

Following a passionate encounter, Markus isn’t sure how to handle this new aspect of his relationship with Sarah, and literally flees the scene for the coast. Sarah is unsure how to react to his sudden departure, but is soon knocked off course by misunderstandings and a frightening family emergency. 

Markus realises his mistake and wants to make things right, but he also faces obstacles. He’s been offered an exciting new job, and an attractive newcomer to the neighbourhood is eager to claim his attention, though the last thing Markus needs is another confusing relationship. 

Can Sarah and Markus face the fear and doubt—and the potential loss of their lifelong friendship—to give their love a chance?

Guest Interview: Author Kathryn Lively #EroticRomance @MsKathrynLively #FlavoursofSage

Author Interview
Please welcome Kathryn Lively to The Flavours of Sage today!



The Business Questions


Please give us a short introduction about yourself
Thanks for having me. My name is Kathryn Lively and I write mystery and romance mainly, but venture into speculative and paranormal once in a while. I have been writing and editing for over twenty years.

What genre(s) do you write in and why?
As I mentioned above, primarily mystery and romance. I started out in cozy mysteries because I enjoyed reading so many of them in my youth. I grew up in the genre – reading Nancy Drew and Agatha Christie, watching Murder She Wrote. I got into romance first as an editor, then in time I decided I want to write my own stories. I like when characters end happily, and romance is my go-to for that.

Tell us about your latest release
I am currently finishing up a serialized romance through the Sexy To Go box sets. My story, “Geek Overboard” takes place on a cruise ship where a non-geek type, Natalie, has been abandoned by her boyfriend. She meets an actor who is a guest at the sci-fi convention held on the cruise, and agrees to pose as his wife to help his career.
I wrote the first installment of the story in Sexy To Go, Volume 6, and the second to last part comes out in Sexy To Go, Volume 11. I will wrap up the romance in Volume 12, due out late December.

Do you need a special setting to write in or do you have a ceremony to get you in the mood? What does it look like?
I do have a few rituals. Usually when I begin a story I crank up “Back in the Saddle” by Aerosmith, then get to work. I write at night after the day job is done and the husband is snoring in his chair. I typically get in a thousand words a day, unless I fall into the zone and go longer.

Describe your feelings when you learnt that your first book was accepted for publication
Oh, that was so long ago! I had written an inspirational saga more than fifteen years ago and had a hard time shopping it. When I finally received an acceptance I was thrilled. I had submitted to a small press, which later turned out to be a mistake. While I was happy at the time of acceptance, I consider that whole period a learning experience.

Has the release of your first book changed anything in your personal life? If so, what?
If anything has changed, it’s my belief that I am capable of seeing a book to completion. Confidence ebbs and flows, but I always look back on the first book I wrote and remind myself that I did it once before and can do so again. Make the time, set the goal.

Where do you find inspiration?
The better question would be where don’t I find it? J Seriously, I get idea everywhere – the news, songs, scenes I see while out shopping. I’m never at a loss for ideas.

Who is your favourite character and why?
This is a tough one. It’s like picking a favorite child. However, when I developed my two mysteries in the Rock and Roll series I enjoyed working on Lerxst Johnston, my sleuth. I’ve never had a son, and I suppose I wrote him as somebody I’d like to have in my family.

A favourite line from one of your books




The Nosy Questions

How much of the real “you” is in your stories?
Not much, I’m afraid. A book about me would bore you to tears. J I tend to write as an observer of the action.

What’s the silliest error in a book you’ve submitted?
Getting names mixed up. I HATE when I do that.

The steamiest scene from your books
It’s not been published yet, but I’m shopping a romance about two former child actors making a comeback. I’m progressively writing hotter with each new book.

Favourite comfort food?
Mac and cheese and lots of it.


The Fast Questions


Favourite colour? Purple
Favourite pet? Beagles!
Dog or cat? Dogs
Coffee or tea? Earl Gray. Hot.
Suit & tie or jeans & boots? Sharp dressed man
Walk in the park or chat over cocktails? I could use a walk.

Author bio: 
Kathryn Lively is an award-winning writer and editor, Slytherin, Whovian, and Rush (the band) fan. She loves chocolate and British crisps and is still searching for a good US dealer of Japanese Kit Kat bars.


Author website/blog: http://www.kathrynlively.com

Blurb:
Geek Overboard is a serialized romance appearing in the Sexy To Go multi-author box sets, starting with Volume 6, extending through Volume 12 (coming in December).

About the Book
Natalie can’t tell a Wookie from a Dalek, and when her boyfriend ditches her on a sci-fi convention cruise she gets a crash course in geekdom. Luckily there’s a handsome man at the ship’s pool to cure her boredom.
Colin Dawson, Daws to friends and fans, doesn’t mind playing third-tier celebrity at a fan event, but welcomes a boost to his public image, and career. Maybe if people believed he’s turned over a new leaf and married a pretty lady…
Natalie could get used to playing the role of celebrity wife, but when Colin’s fans and a popular entertainment blogger want details of her life with her new “husband” it gets sticky. Who knew a fake relationship was so much work?
