Feelin’ it Friday with Melissa Schroeder

Title: Wild Love
Series: Juniper Springs, Book 1
Author: Melissa Schroeder

Expected Release: March 27, 2021

I?m not the kind of girl who expects happily ever after. In fact, I prefer my partners don?t get too clingy. Don?t get me wrong. I like a good night of loving, but beyond that, I?m happy to see them leave in the morning, without my phone number.

Then I met him. 

Quinn is a big bear of a man, with massive hands and amazing?staying power. Like all night long and the next morning kind of staying power. So when he asks me to spend the next day with him, I do. The only reason I give him my number is because he makes me laugh. And, okay, so I might have met up with him once or twice.

That doesn?t mean I need him. Because I am Everly FreakingSpencer, and I don?t need anyone (other than my bestie), and definitely not a man.

Only?

He shows up by chance at my store, which totally freaks me out. Finding out he?s my favorite author doesn?t help either.

And the surprise that?s dropped in our laps later that day?

Major. Freak. Out.

But, like I said, I don?t need anyone.

Right?

If I keep repeating that, I might just believe it.

Author warning: Get ready for a trip into the hippiest little town in Texas. There?s gossipy little old ladies (LOLs), an app that every teenager hates, trips to Denver and Cali, a woman who is convinced true love doesn?t exist, and a man who aims to prove her wrong by doing things to her that should embarrass the author. And she was. (Not really). Along the way, readers get to spend time with the gorgeous Hawthorne brothers and gay ducks. SERIOUSLY. GAY. DUCKS. Just get the book already because you know you want to know about them. Also, there?s a happily ever after fit for a woman with commitment issues and a man who just doesn?t know when to give up.

Blog Challenge – Day 25 – Advice for Writers by Tilly Greene

ADVICE FOR WRITERS

The first advice a writer is usually given is write what you know. Knowing it takes some of the research out of it and also ensures the writer is more comfortable, allowing the words to flow more comfortably. Good advice and I did it without realizing I was following this old adage.

This June I sat down at my computer noting which books I needed to put into print for a convention. I thought I had got them all and went away on a break. The break turned into a day, and when I came back to the computer I saw something I hadn?t expected. There were three books, one more that needed work before I put it back out, that had something in common: they took place in or around my home town. On closer inspection, three of the books had another connection and that was they all had an element of BDSM attached!

her-wicked-ride-by-tilly-greene finding-home-by-tilly-greene bound-in-paradise-by-tilly-greene

It definitely wasn?t intentional because they were written as standalones over eight years with different scenarios. However, Finding Home (2007), Bound in Paradise (2011) and Her Wicked Ride (2015) had location in common and that they were contemporaries. On a whim I decided to possibly put them together as a collection, but first I had to like the cover. I asked a woman I often use for covers to ?whip up a quick one for me?, and I was shocked again. Out of all the pictures I had given her, she chose one from my hometown!

I kid you not!

 

See for yourself ? Love Under the Sun Collection, that?s the collection of three standalone stories that have two things in common ? proximity to my home town and BDSM, who knew!

So, I?ll say it: write what you know, but my guess is you may just do it on your own!

Bear Faced Lies by Merryn Dexter

A roaming bear?gathers no strings, and that?s just how Tobias Langstreet likes it. A chance?meeting with beautiful, lonely Harriet Mills might just change his mind. Can he?trust her with his secrets and unwrap the web of lies around her?

 

 

Tobias wrenched?the wheel, returning them to the smooth tarmac surface. Harriet forced herself?to look away, staring at her own reflection in the dark window beside her, the?view beyond swallowed by the still night.
?
The truck jolted?again, and she started around, shocked to see Tobias steering them onto the dusty?verge. His hands flexed on the steering wheel a couple of times before he?jabbed at the release mechanism of his seat belt. ?This is a really bad idea,??he muttered, eyes still fixed on the blank windshield before him.
?
?What is?? She?knew what he meant though. Even before he lunged across the cab to grab her in?a fierce embrace that stole her breath. She knew, she might even agree with?him, but it didn?t stop her opening her mouth to the demanding press of his?tongue.
?
He swept inside?her lips, sucking and feasting on her mouth, stealing her breath until she saw?stars. She didn?t push him back though. The banked arousal simmering in her?belly roared to life, and she threw her arms around his neck, pulling him?closer, needing to feel the heavy weight of his body against hers. He cursed,?fumbled at her side to release the belt constricting her, then lifted her up,?dragging her across his lap as though she weighed nothing.
?
Harriet squirmed,?tried to get closer to where she wanted to be, to get the thick length of him?notched into the ache between her legs, but the tight skirt of her dress?stopped her. ?I hate this damn dress,? she snarled against his lips, and he?laughed through their kiss. The pleasant rumble of his chest rubbed her nipples?through their clothing and she gasped.
?
?I?m a big fan of?your dress, sweetheart, but it does have some drawbacks.? Tobias grabbed the?bottom hem and rent the fabric in two, splitting the seam to her waist.
?
Free at last, she?scrambled into his lap, knocking her head on the roof of the truck in the?process. ?Damn!? The smile fell from his lips and he held her still. She could?read the concern in his eyes and was having none of it. ?I swear, Tobias. If?you tell me not here, not now, I?m going to scream.?
?

A strange light glowed in his eyes, a flash of?the eerie brightness she?d glimpsed earlier. It sent her heart pounding, part?fear, part arousal at the hunger burning there.?

Blog Challenge – Day 11 – Tell me….

ballers…what are the shows you’re watching? The hubby started up Ray Donovan the other day. We’re a season in. Its fairlyray-donovan interesting. I can’t stand the wife half the time. The grandfather is a terrible person and I don’t?understand why everyone is giving him so many chances. But then I guess it wouldn’t be intriguing if they had characters that were all sunshine and roses all of the time.

Others shows we’ve been watching and are caught up on are Power and Ballers. Power, night clubs and drugs basically, we started watching because Big T (my hubby if you didn’t know) listens to His & Hers (I listen to every once in a while). Mike and Jemele talked the show up and he couldn’t help but check it out. It is definitely NOT something to watch with children around. Ballers has Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson in it and is based around sports. I can get behind that. I enjoy my NFL and a lot of big name players made cameos on it.

None of the shows inspire me to write anything like that. Mobsters. Club Owners dealing drugs. Corrupt District Attorneys. Sport Agents. It just isn’t my thing. Good to watch and decompress but not write. Now, shows on ID are a different story that I’ll leave for a different time. ~Brandy
