Hump Day Hotties– Feb 1, 2012

Sorry I haven’t posted one of these in a while. Since it’s superbowl Sunday this weekend I thought I should post some hot football players to help motivate you to watch the game.   Well just in case you don’t know who’s playing here you go.

New York Giants

Yes I know David Carr is probably 3rd string QB for the Superbowl and this pic isn’t even from when he’s a Giant but I still like it. LOL

Holy biceps!

New England Patriots.

Patriots Quarterback Tom Brady

Wide Receiver Wes Welker

Holy Athleticism, look at that vertical.

 

So who are you cheering for; Patriots or Giants?

Undercover Attraction is available again

My first book Undercover Attraction was previously published by Freya’s Bower. I recently got the rights back on the book and I’ve self-published it. So  it is now available at Amazon and Smashwords and will soon be available everywhere else. It has a new cover but the name is the same. It’s a short story and is available for $0.99.

Blurb

DEA agent Lyndsay Chase is dedicated to her job, even when that means going undercover in a seedy strip club that serves more than watered down drinks. To find the connection behind the quantities of drugs distributed through the club and the supplier, she needs information, not distractions that come in the form of a sexy bartender named Jim. He is the type of man who could distract even the best agent.
But there is more to Jim than meets the eye. As Lyndsay’s interests wobble between professional and flaming desire, Jim reveals a labyrinth of lies that revile her own, and somewhere in the middle is the passion neither can ignore.

2011 CAPA Nominees Announced

Every year  The Romance Studio has their CAPA awards for excellence in romantic fiction.

I’m thrilled to say that Dani’s Duo was nominated in the contemporary category. I’m listed with some of my favorite authors so it is incredibly cool and I’m very honored.

Dani’s Duo 

Blurb

 

 Attorney Danika James is ready to celebrate her greatest win to date, but not with a bunch of stodgy lawyers and martinis. Beneath Danika’s buttoned-up exterior lives a woman with wild-side desires she has yet to fully discover.

 

Tattoo artist Paddy O’Shea walks on society’s razor edge. When he learns his best friend, Cooper Hanes, has more than a casual interest in Danika, Paddy suggests a weekend celebration of exploration none of them will ever forget.

 

For the next forty-eight hours the men satisfy fantasies Dani didn’t even know she had. But every party has to end. Doesn’t it? Or can the courtroom diva turn Dani’s Duo into something as permanent as one of Paddy’s tattoos?

I’m talking about self defense for women over on Some Write it Hot today.

Halloween Blog Tour

Welcome to the Halloween Blog hop. My blog is not the starting point, so  you can go here and start at the beginning.   Be sure to read the rules on how to win prizes.  On the last stop of the tour, you can leave your name and e-mail addy to register for those great prizes, make sure you don’t miss that step since there is a Kindle up for grabs as well as other prizes.

 

When it comes to Halloween costumes a guy can go all ghoulie and scary and that’s always fun but since my latest book has a firefighter for a hero I’ve been thinking a lot about men in uniform, since they are sooo HAWT. So with that in mind I scrounged up a few pictures for inspiration,  I figure you can’t go wrong with a costume that feeds into that fantasy a little bit. I was a little torn on just which uniform/costume is the hottest so maybe you can help me decide.

 

There’s always the good ol’warrior Roman costume.

 

Or you can’t go wrong with the military man, those are always fun.

Mmm, a police officer is always a great choice.

 Or holy hotness The fireman.

So which costume do you think is the best option for a man in uniform?

Now just in case these delicious men have distracted you and you’ve fallen off the bus you can get back on at

Since one lucky person on the hop will win a copy of my latest Ellora’s Cave book Too Hot, I figured I should give you a little sneak peak as well.

Too Hot by Lauren FraserBlurb

When it comes to her career, Josie Sharp sees things with perfect clarity, but her love life? Well, that’s completely out of focus. Coming off a rough breakup, she’s insecure and hesitant about men, especially ones as sexy as firefighter Marco Patelli. Although she may be wary of his intentions, she’d have to be a fool to pass up the chance to be with a man like him. And foolishness is not in her genes.

Josie is nothing like the women Marco normally goes for, but something about the shy photographer’s vulnerability calls to his dominant side. As he helps Josie explore her sexuality, Marco realizes there is so much more to Josie than meets the eye.

But when lies and insecurities collide, Marco is going to have to fight to prove to Josie that what they have goes so much deeper than sex.

 

Excerpt

Josie made her way toward the gym. The sound of old-school, AC/DC’s Thunderstruck, carried down the hallway. At the doorway she stopped and looked inside. Her eyes nearly bugged out of her head as she saw Marco running on the treadmill. Alone in the gym, he ran at a grueling pace. Sweat ran down his bare chest. She followed the path of one droplet as it snaked between the ridges of his abs, through the dark hair under his bellybutton and into the waistband of his shorts. She tried to swallow but her throat seemed to have closed tightly, forcing her to gulp for air. Holy mother of god, she wanted to lick every inch of his body.

His eyes met hers, heat flared between them. He must have seen the raw lust on her face because a slow, carnal smile spread across his face.

“Hey, Josie, give me one sec.” He flicked off the treadmill, grabbed his t-shirt from the handle and wiped it across his face.

“Did you get my message?” he asked.

Unable to drag her eyes from his chest, she nodded.

“So, what’s your answer?”

“My what?” Raising her head, she sighed. Oh the man was beautiful. Around him somehow her mind shut off and she became a bumbling idiot. His eyes twinkled with amusement and he winked.

“Are you up for coming out with us tonight?” he asked again.

She blinked, trying to clear the fog. God, he must think she was such a loser. She couldn’t even have a normal conversation. “Umm…sure,” she stammered.

Marco stepped toward her. Josie’s nipples beaded tightly, pressing against the lace of her bra.

A sexy smile curved the corner of his lips. “Do I make you nervous, Red?”

She squared her shoulders. “Of course not,” she said, forcing herself to stand her ground and not move away.

He grinned and moved closer. She could feel the heat from his body and the scent of his sweat turned her on better than any cologne ever could.

He tucked her bangs behind her ear and trailed his hand along the back of her neck, cupping her head with his palm to hold her in place.

“Then how come you’re shivering now?” he whispered against her ear. His hot breath sent another shiver through her body. “Josie, clearly you’re as attracted to me as I am to you so why are you fighting it?” he asked.

“I’m not fighting anything.” Damn, the breathless sigh in her voice didn’t exactly add much validity to her statement.

“Liar,” he said and nipped her earlobe between his teeth. The touch sent an arrow of heat straight from her ear to her pussy and she clamped her knees together.

Marco ran a teasing path along the shell of her ear. It felt amazing. She closed her eyes and tilted her head to allow him better access.

“Don’t make me prove you wrong, Josie.”

Her eyes flashed open, meeting his. The heat burning in his eyes was almost enough to melt her on the spot.

Trying to hold onto some semblance of control, she said, “Guys like you aren’t attracted to women like me.”

He wrapped his muscular arm around her waist and pulled her hips against his. The hard length of his cock pressed against her stomach. “Clearly my body is telling you otherwise.”

Holy cow, he really wanted her. She grinned to herself. Without thought, she shifted her body and rubbed against him, loving the way she could feel his cock thicken through his gym shorts.

He hissed in a breath. “Damn, Red.”

She leaned back, putting a little space between them and trailed her finger down the length of his chest, stopping at the waistband of his shorts. His breathing increased as he watched her finger.

“So you seriously want to have dinner with me?”

His cock twitched beneath the fabric of his shorts. He gripped her hips firmly with his hands and rubbed against her. “What I’d like is to have you for dinner but we can start with grabbing a bite to eat. You seemed a bit umm…unsure the other day so I thought you’d be more comfortable with a group thing.”

Unsure. That was one word for it. Terrified of making an ass of herself was more like it.

“So what do you say, Josie? You free tonight?”

Hump Day Hotties – Sept 21

As you know I’m a big sports fan so that means I’ve been watching lots of World Cup Rugby. Love it, rugby is such a fantastic game, if you’ve never watched it you should. Since I know alot of you aren’t sports fans I thought I’d do my part to encourage you to give it a shot  so I’m bringing out the big guns and showing you some eyecandy.

World cup wouldn’t be world cup without the All Blacks and since the team is not only amazing to watch they also have some damn fine looking guys on the team. I’m just going to give you a teaser of a few of the guys on the team.
