#MarchMadness with Bailey and Max from Christmas Confusion

GirlTalkSaturday

It’s March Madness. And no, we’re not discussing basketball, we’re discussing the things that drive us to madness. You know, like toilet seats left raised, fast food joints running out of french fries, and chasing a rainbow only to find the pot of gold missing. Yeah, those things piss me off also.

Today, the characters from Christmas Confusion are sharing with us a few things that make them mad.

Bailey: Here’s a few things that drives me bonkers.

1) Co-workers who feel like they run the place. You know, the kind that try to tell you what to do, but they’re at the same pay rate as you are. Until your badge says BOSS, don’t tell me when I should work.

Sorry, I’m rambling. Moving on to number 2.

2) A sister-in-law who makes my brother’s life miserable. I only have one brother and he’s my world. So, it’s hard for me to just ignore the issues he has with his wife. But I have to, because he doesn’t want me in his business. Sometimes being a little sister sucks. On to number three.

3) The fact that life isn’t fair and sometimes we lose the people we love. There’s not much to say about this one. People die. There’s nothing we can do about it. We have to keep living. Sometimes that’s hard to do when you lose a loved one. Yet, we manage. I guess we’re stronger than we think we are.

4) Dieting. That should’ve been number one. I hate it. I hate it. I hate it. Bring on the bacon.

5) Last but not least, I hate how shy I get whenever my neighbor, Max, comes around. I can’t help it. All he has to do is look at me and I forget how to speak. I really need to get a grip because it’s not like he’d want me anyway… but a girl can dream. And I dream about him almost every night. Oh well, these are five things that drive me mad.

Max: I try not to get mad. I think it’s a waste of energy. However, sometimes you can’t help but get upset over certain things. Here’s a few things that drive me crazy.

1) Baby brothers.
2.) Big brothers.
3.) Sexy neighbors who ignore me. I mean, am I invisible?
4.) Love. Now that I’ve found the woman for me, it’s hard trying to convince her that I’m the one for her.
5.) Politicians.

There you have it. What? was I supposed to elaborate. Nah, that’s another thing that drives me crazy, socializing.

Alrighty then. And there you have it. To get to know these characters better you can purchase Christmas Confusion on Amazon. The Ebook is FREE with Kindle Unlimited and the print version will be available on Amazon soon.

synopsis

~Bailey Cooper has fallen in love – sadly the man she’s in love with already has a man. Sounds complicated doesn’t it? ~

Bailey Cooper is very much attracted to her neighbor, Max Davis. Unfortunately for Bailey, Greg – Max’s lover, is slowly becoming one of Bailey’s best friends. Bailey’s emotions are torn. She adores Greg’s friendship while at the same time she craves Max’s touch.

What’s a girl to do when she ‘thinks’ the man she’s in love with is in love with someone else?

Max Davis and his baby brother Greg Davis are co-owners of the apartment building they live in. Max has fallen for his tenant, Bailey, but she avoids and ignores all of his advances. It doesn’t take long for him to become suspicious of the friendship blooming between Greg and Bailey. He believes Bailey has a crush on his brother, but Max wants his shy little neighbor all to himself. Now he has to think of ways to keep Bailey and Greg apart, which is ridiculous since Greg isn’t even in to women. Time to break that news to his neighbor and hope it causes her attention to swing his way.

Will a holiday weekend full of chaos, confusion and a little bit of charm finally get Bailey and Max on the right track? Or will a few innocent caresses lead to more Christmas confusion?

Excerpt-

“He’s a very thorough lover,” Bailey talked loudly, trying to drown out the moans coming from the TV screen. She had no idea the movie ended this way. It was supposed to be a romantic comedy. Sex wasn’t usually this… arousing in romantic comedies.

“That he is,” Max said, with his eyes on her and not the television screen.

His eyes on her, combined with the sounds coming from the television, was causing her to feel things she’d never felt before. Why was she imagining Max doing those things to her and why was he still staring at her? Was he hoping for the same things she were, a touch a caress… anything to get rid of the need that was taking hold of her.

Bailey licked her lips, she felt parched. “Um, can I have a bottle of water?”

“Water? Yeah, yeah, water. I got water.” Max jumped up quickly, causing the comforter to wrap around his legs nearly tripping him. Bailey reached for him, trying to keep him from falling. Her hand landed on his jogging pants, close to his… unmentionable part. She snatched her hand away quickly and he recoiled from her touch just as fast.

“Sorry… I didn’t want you to fall… I tried to catch you…” Bailey let her sentence trail away, as she watched him right himself and untangle his feet from within the covers.

“Thanks, it’s okay. I’m okay. Everything is okay. I’m gonna go get your water now.” Max exited the room quickly, as if hell hounds were nipping at his heels.

She should go, she could tell she was making him uncomfortable and she’d almost touched his junk. Her whole body throbbed with a need she didn’t understand, and those damn TV characters wouldn’t stop moaning.
Bailey turned to the television screen in time to see the hero handcuff his bride to the bed. What in the heck was she watching? Max returned with her water and a cold beer for himself. She wished he would’ve brought her a beer also. She didn’t drink beer, but she would have loved to down one right now.

#ComingSoon Her Alien Protector #Scifi #Romance

heralienprotectorbanner

Hi guys, gals, vampires and demons!

I’m happy to announce that in a couple of months I’ll be releasing my Sci-Fi novel, Her Alien Protector. This is an interracial paranormal romance that is out of this world, literally. I can’t wait for you all to meet Lark and Raynor.

Their road to love is a bumpy one, but is worth it in the end. Her Alien Protector will be available in May. More info on this steamy novel coming soon.

heralienprotectorcover1

Falling in love with a prisoner was against the rules.

So why was Lark allowing herself to get close to Raynor? He was domineering, cocky and much too handsome for his own good. Though her mind found him unbearable, her body was ready to endure anything he could deliver. However, she wouldn’t allow herself to fall for him, to trust him. Inside of him lived a darkness unlike anything she’d ever witnessed. If the rumors were true, that darkness would consume any and everyone in its path. Lark was going to try her best to stay out of his way.

Raynor Batiste was many things: a monster, a killer, one of the most feared creatures in the galaxy. He was a beast whose name sent shudders through his enemies. But a prisoner he was not. The only reason he’d allowed himself to be captured was so he could claim his mate, Lark Valdese.

That task was proving harder than he’d anticipated. Lark is afraid of what lives inside of him, and she should be. Yet, when her planet comes under attack, the evil lurking inside of him may be the only thing that can save her and her people.

He’s willing to protect her planet, but his aid comes at a price. A price only Lark can pay.

Happy Sunday!
Today I’m sharing eight paragraphs from my paranormal romance, Dark Fantasies. Enjoy!

Beautiful young girl tenderly looks at her lover

“Did your eyes change colors?” He nodded. “Do they do that because of the, uh, demon inside of you?” Another nod. “Will it hurt me?”

“Never,” he told her.

Good. She was just as obsessed with paranormal television shows as the next girl. “I’ve always fantasized about meeting a vampire and having him bite me and make me his forever.”

“I can do that for you.” He looked so serious.

Ashley grinned. He was perfect. “You’re supposed to pretend to be upset by the idea and want to force me to remain human since you didn’t get a chance at a human life.”

Kelan grabbed her and pulled her against him. “I’ve never been human. I’ve always been an animal.”

She loved it. Everything about what he just said turned her on. Through the sheer fabric of her gown she could feel his hard chest pressed against her breasts. She wanted to be skin against skin.

“You still have your pants on. I want them off,” she told him.

One kiss was all it took.

Between work, family and her ex-boyfriend, Ashley Blakely is completely stressed out. She doesn’t have time to write in her fantasy diary or compete in the annual ‘fantasy wish’ competition her and her sisters have going. The only thing she wants for Christmas is normalcy.

All hope of a normal Christmas… or life… fly out the window the moment she’s kissed by Kelan Grant. Now she’s swept up in a whirlwind of romance, seduction and danger. She wants no part of this new life. Yet once she finds out that her sisters and her best friend are in jeopardy, she will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. Even allow herself to be kidnapped and handcuffed by a devil in disguise.

Dr. Kelan Grant always keeps his word. The moment he lays eyes on Ashley, he vows she will be his for eternity. He doesn’t care that his brother is mated to her sister and wants to keep their real heritage a secret from the Blakely family. Kelan will do whatever it takes to claim his bride.

Kidnapping her is the easy part. Winning her heart is going to take some strategic planning. But between the dark angels stalking him and Ashley’s constant need to break every item in his home, Kelan is having a hard time romancing the woman who he feels already belongs to him.

Will he get the eternity with Ashley he’s envisioned? Or will his enemies snatch her from his grasp and awaken the monster he tries to hide?

The Demon Wants Forever #ScintillatingSunday #ValentinesDay

7141383_orig

Happy Valentine’s Day/Walking Dead Sunday!

Welcome to another Scintillating Sunday. Today’s post in guaranteed to get you ready for this awesome day. I’m sharing eight seductive paragraphs from my dark paranormal, Dark Fantasies. Enjoy!

Excerpt-

He grasped her hips, talons digging into her flesh as he slid in and out of her. Ashley gasped for air. He felt wonderful inside of her. She could feel tiny sparks firing up all over her body like the nerves were awakening for the first time. This was how sex was supposed to feel. There was nothing boring about this, not ordinary or tamed. She felt wild as he pounded into her from behind.

“Harder,” she moaned and he growled loudly before slamming into her harder. Damn, it felt good. He rammed into her and she pushed back with as much force as she could. He wrapped her hair around his hand and forced her head back and he leaned over her all the while moving in and out of her.

“You’re mine,” he reminded her.

“I’m yours,” she lied. She belonged to no man.

“Say it again,” he growled.

“I’m yours Kelan.”

“Now and forever, say it sweetie.”

“Now and forever,” she told him.

Fantasy Diary Series, Scintillating Sunday

Guy talk on a #ScintillatingSunday

7141383_orig

Happy Scintillating Sunday!

Have you ever wondered what demon brothers talk about? Wonder no more. Today I’m sharing an excerpt from my Paranormal Romance, Dark Fantasies. In Dark Fantasies, both brothers are driven by the demons inside of them. However, one brother embraces his inner demons, while the other fights his which makes for some interesting conversations between the two. Enjoy!

Excerpt-

“They wouldn’t let me leave,” Jackson argued.

“You expect me to believe three tiny females prevented you from leaving their home?”

“I’m serious K. Whenever I would try to go, one of them would beg me to stay. You know what that does to my incubus side. I can’t possibly leave the bed of a woman who needs me.”

Kelan was not only pissed that his brother had ditched him to go home with two sisters and their cousin. He was also pissed that he’d spent the six hours his brother was away thinking of the female he sniffed. Sniffed, who the hell does that? Thinking of her had made his prowling scent fill the air causing people who drove past him to almost wreck their cars since their attention was on him instead of the road.

What pissed him off even more was that he hadn’t joined his brother as the females requested, no begged. They begged him to join and he’d rejected them. What the hell was wrong with him? A quick, ‘sex and feed session’ would’ve eased the tension coiled within him. But no matter how prettily they begged, his beast was only prowling for one female – the brunette with the brown eyes. Again, man and beast were of the same mind. They wanted her and they would have her. First, they had to find her.

“You know if you would’ve come with us, instead of waiting outside in the car, you wouldn’t be in such a bad mood. I know you hate the animal inside of you, but if you give it what it wants every now and then you wouldn’t be so uptight.”

“I’m not a slave to my beast.” Kelan straightened his tie that had become crooked while he slumbered, waiting for Jackson.

“Yeah, yeah, I know. You’re a super demon and you know how to keep your thirst for blood and sex at bay. If you would’ve…”

“Just start the car and go.”

Fantasy Diary Series, Scintillating Sunday

Dark thoughts on a #ScintillatingSunday

7141383_orig

Happy Scintillating Sunday. Today I’m sharing a few paragraphs from my paranormal romance, Dark Fantasies. I’m giving you a glimpse into an average conversation between two half incubus/ half vampire brothers, Kelan and Jackson. One is more beast than man and he’s having a hard time pretending to be human for his mate. The other wants nothing to do with mating. Enjoy.

Excerpt-

“I need you to keep an eye on Ashley and see if she does anything to make you think she remembers me.”

“Oh no, not doing that.”

“Come on Jack.”

“There’s almost nothing I wouldn’t do for you bro. If you kill someone, I’ll help you bury the body. If you hurt someone, I’ll help you clean up the mess. If you end up going to war with these witches, I’ll fight by your side. But I will not go near your mate as long as there is air in her body.”

“Why not?”

“I’ve seen how demons act when they have a mate. If you smell her scent on me you’re going to get pissed. You saw how Devin acted over Alyssa. The only thing we did was sit her outside so we could talk to him and the dude tried to kill me. I’m not going through that with you. In a few days your blood will be out of her system and you can compel her on your own. Until then, you keep an eye on her yourself. Just don’t let her see you and don’t drink from her again or let her drink from you.”

“I don’t trust myself around her.”

“Not my problem.”

“I could hurt her again.”

“Again, not my problem.”

“Jackson, I could kill her.” He hated saying that out loud.

“If you do, call me and I’ll help you get rid of the body. Until then, leave me out of it.”

#CoverReveal: “You Should’ve Chose Me” by M’Renee Allen

Cover Reveal

Valentine’s Day is supposed to be about roses and candy. It’s about spending time with the person you love. But what happens when those roses have thorns and the candy turns to blood in your mouth? What happens when the person you love becomes the person you hate the most?

Patricia Scott has found an impressive way to handle those issues.

You Should've Chose Me

Patricia Scott is a dreamer.

She believes in love and hopes to one day have a large house surrounded by a white picket fence with the sound of children’s laughter floating through it. And then it happens. She meets her knight in shining armor.

But, it isn’t long before she realizes life is not a fairy tale. Dreams turn into nightmares. Love turns to hate and that large house with the white picket fence turns into a cell surrounded by bars. There are no sounds of children laughing in her future, just her own screams as she stares down at the blood coating her clothes.

But whose blood is it?

COMING VALENTINE’S DAY 2016. Be careful who you share your candy with.

Scintillating Sunday, The Darkest Legion

Her Dream Lover wants forever. #ScintillatingSunday #TheDarkestLegion

7141383_orig

Happy Scintillating Sunday!

Today I’m sharing eight paragraphs from my latest paranormal novel, Her Dream Lover. The story follows the lives of Brandi Connelly and Draken Barrand. Brandi is the new overnight ward clerk at the psychiatric hospital Draken is trapped in.

After being an unwilling patient in the hospital for years, imagine Draken’s surprise when he finds out his mate is now working there. Having thought he’d never have one, Draken is obsessed with learning more about her. What he learns makes him eager to claim her. But first, he has to break free of his cell. Enjoy this snippet.

Drakentease

The sound of the doorknob turning put him on high alert. He heard her enter into the room, no, he felt her enter into his room. Her presence sent chills up his spine and kicked his need to protect into overdrive.
Slowly she made her way over to his cell. She whispered his name. Draken shivered. He rolled over onto his back. He didn’t yawn or attempt to play drowsy. He just stared at her and she returned his gaze.

“Hey,” she finally said after what seemed like forever. He would have been content with just staring at her.

“Hey,” he replied. Another round of silence followed.

“Did I wake you?” Draken shook his head. “Were you resting, because I can come back?”

“No, I wasn’t resting. I was thinking.”

“You seemed to have been deep in thought. Did I interrupt, because I can leave…?”

“I was thinking about you.”

A beautiful blush crept up her neck and flamed her cheeks. Draken wondered if her whole body was the same flushed color. His inner demon growled. Not yet, demon, Draken calmed the beast stirring inside him.

synopsis

Every time she closes her eyes he’s there…waiting for her.

Working night shift at a mental hospital was never Brandi Connelly’s dream job, but in order to pay her grandmother’s medical bills she’s willing to do whatever she has too. Her new job seems like a piece of cake, there is only one thing keeping her from enjoying it – Draken Barrand, a patient.

Thoughts of her patient haunt her night and day and she’s too embarrassed to tell anyone about the strange dreams she’s having about him. Partly because she’s afraid they will think she’s crazy…mostly because the things that go on while she’s sleeping make her blush.

As the nightly visions become all too real she’s afraid they’re not dreams at all. If these nightly fantasies are real, that means everything her dream lover has told her is real, which means that the little mating ritual she so excitedly participated in was real. Soon she will change into a demon and there is nothing she can do about it.

Claimed and marked, she now belongs to a creature of the night. There’s just one up side to this – he’s trapped behind the walls of a mental institution. That means she has time to figure out a way to stop the change… well she would’ve had time, if her mate hadn’t broken out of his cell.

Girl Talk Saturday, New Releases

Girl Talk with Bailey and Krista from Christmas Confusion #Chicklit #RomanticComedy

GirlTalkSaturday



Girl Talk Saturday is back and this month’s topic is,
‘Name Five Reasons You’re Thankful This Holiday Season’.


Today I have Bailey and Krista from Christmas Confusion sharing what they’re thankful for this season.

Multi-ethnic hippie friends in a minivan on a road trip

Bailey:
* My job. *
The hospital hired me right out of college and I am forever thankful for that.
* My apartment.*
It’s still being renovated so the rent is real cheap, but I love it. Plus my next door neighbor is sexy as hell, so that’s kind of a win-win for me. 🙂
* My new bestie.*
Greg. He’s adorable and he looks better in skinny jeans than I do. Oh, did I mention that he’s my sexy neighbor’s boyfriend. Yeah, bummer.
* My brother.*
We aren’t talking as much right now, because I hate his wife. But, blood is thicker than water and he’s the only family I have left.
* My best friend in the whole wide world, Krista.*
This chick is my ride or die chick. We’ve been through so much together and I’m thankful and proud to have her in my life. #FriendsForever

Krista:
* My dancing skills.*
I’m the best dancer this side of the Mississippi. #IGotSkills
* Gatorade.*
Yeah, I’m thankful for Gatorade. Because when you get a hangover, it’s always there for you. Unlike your friends. (Hint, Bailey and Greg.)
* Speaking of Greg, my drinking buddy.*
I am thankful for him. He knows just the right amount of vodka to pour into my cup, to help make all the problems go away, at least for an hour.
* Bailey.*
My play cousin, my best friend, my road dog, my ride or die chick, my sister. I am extremely thankful to have you in my life.
* Life.*
I don’t think any of us realize how blessed we are to wake up each morning. I used to be the same way. But ever since my dad died, I’ve learned to appreciate life more. I’m thankful for each breath that I breathe.

~Book Blurb~
~Bailey Cooper has fallen in love – sadly the man she’s in love with already has a man. Sounds complicated doesn’t it? ~

Bailey Cooper is very much attracted to her neighbor Max Davis. Unfortunately for Bailey, Greg – Max’s lover is slowly becoming one of Bailey’s best friends. Bailey’s emotions are torn. She adores Greg’s friendship while at the same time she craves Max’s touch.

What is a girl to do when she ‘thinks’ the man she’s in love with is in love with someone else?

Max Davis and his baby brother Greg Davis are co-owners of the apartment building they live in. Max has fallen for his tenant, Bailey, but she avoids and ignores all of his advances. It doesn’t take long for him to become suspicious of the friendship blooming between Greg and Bailey. He believes Bailey has a crush on his brother but Max wants his shy little neighbor all to himself. Now he has to think of ways to keep Bailey and Greg apart, which is ridiculous because Greg isn’t even in to women. Time to break that news to his neighbor and hope it causes her attention to swing his way.

Will a holiday weekend full of chaos, confusion and a little bit of charm finally get Bailey and Max on the right track? Or will a few innocent caresses lead to more Christmas confusion?

Excerpt (Truth or dare)

Greg explained the rules to the truth or dare newbies.
“First of all,” Greg said in his serious voice.

He looked so ridiculously serious that Krista and Bailey burst out laughing. The three of them were already slightly tipsy from the shot they took earlier.

“If you girls are not gonna take this seriously, then I’m not gonna play with you,” Greg pouted.

“Okay, we’re ready,” Krista said, and all Bailey did was giggle. She wasn’t a heavy drinker and that one shot had her buzzed.

“Okay,” Greg continued. “The rules are simple. You can either choose truth or dare, but you can’t choose one or the other three times in a row. For instance, Bailey…”

“Hey,” Bailey said. “Why are you picking on me? What have I done now?”

“Nothing yet. But I got a feeling you are going to try to choose truth every time it’s your turn.”

“I got that same feeling,” Krista said before blowing a strand of her black curly hair out of her face.

“I’m not going to choose truth every time,” Bailey told them, even though that had been her initial plan.

Both Krista and Greg looked at her like they didn’t believe her.

“I’m going to keep my eyes on you Bailey.” Greg said. “My spidey senses are tingling and when they do that during truth or dare it means someone is going to cheat.”

“He said tingling,” Krista giggled.

“Whatever.” Bailey rolled her eyes. “Okay, so we can’t choose one or the other more than two times.”

“That’s right, Bailey. Now, if you choose truth, and refuse to answer the question, you have to take a shot.”

Bailey groaned. Were all of these rules created for her?

“And,” Greg continued, “If you do tell a truth but we feel it’s a lie, you have to take a shot.”

“Did you guys make up these rules with me in mind?” Bailey asked.

“I didn’t,” Krista responded. “These are Greg’s rules and I like them. Okay, so who goes first?”

“I’ll go first,” Greg volunteered. Bailey was glad he was going first. She was sure they were going to make her go first.

“So, truth or dare?” Krista asked Greg.

“Truth,” Greg responded.

Krista turned to her. “Do you want to ask him a question or should I?” Bailey had no idea why she was nervous, it was just a game.

“You ask,” she told Krista.

Krista stared at Greg seated across the table from them “So Greg, how long have you been into men?”

Bailey gasped, “Krista!”

“What?” Krista exclaimed as if nothing was wrong. Bailey knew she was blushing enough for the two of them.

“Calm down, Bailey,” Greg said. “That is the perfect way to start off truth or dare. Now the answer is… drum roll, please.”

Krista began beating her hands against the table.

Scintillating Sunday, Spotlights

Get Ready For Some Christmas Confusion on a #ScintillatingSunday

Happy Sunday!

Welcome to another week of scintillating excerpts. Today I’m sharing eight paragraphs from my romantic comedy, Christmas Confusion. Christmas Confusion is a fun story about two neighbors who just can’t seem to figure this thing called love out.

Bailey is the shy virgin who gets nervous every time her neighbor talks to her. Max is the sexy boy next door who only wants one girl, Bailey, but he just can’t find the right words to tell her that. This Christmas it will take the help of their two besties to bring them together. Enjoy eight paragraphs from this hilarious romance.

excerpt

Oh–my–gosh, Bailey had no idea the movie ended on a sex scene. She was mortified. Beside her, Max’s eyes were glued to the screen. He sat completely still, he hands clenched into fists.

The hero lifts his bride’s dress up, exposing her slender white legs. She moans as her hero kisses her neck.

Bailey couldn’t suppress the moaned that escaped her lips, she was aroused. Max turned toward her, his eyes widening in surprise. Bailey could only imagine how ridiculous she looked to him. Cheeks flushed, lips parted slightly due to the moan that slipped through. “He’s a very thorough lover,” Bailey talked loudly, trying to drown out the moans coming from the TV screen. She had no idea the movie ended this way. It was supposed to be a romantic comedy. Sex wasn’t usually this… arousing in romantic comedies.

“That he is,” Max said, with his eyes on her and not the television screen.
His eyes on her, combined with the sounds coming from the television, was causing her to feel things she’d never felt before. Why was she imagining Max doing those things to her and why was he still staring at her? Was he hoping for the same things she were, a touch a caress… anything to get rid of the need that was taking hold of her.

Bailey licked her lips, she felt parched. “Um, can I have a bottle of water?”

“Water? Yeah, yeah, water. I got water.” Max jumped up quickly, causing the comforter to wrap around his legs nearly tripping him. Bailey reached for him, trying to keep him from falling. Her hand landed on his jogging pants, close to his… unmentionable part. She snatched her hand away quickly and he recoiled from her touch just as fast.

“Sorry… I didn’t want you to fall… I tried to catch you…” Bailey let her sentence trail away, as she watched him right himself and untangle his feet from within the covers.

“Thanks, it’s okay. I’m okay. Everything is okay. I’m gonna go get your water now.” Max exited the room quickly, as if hell hounds were nipping at his heels. She should go, she could tell she was making him uncomfortable and she’d almost touched his junk. Her whole body throbbed with a need she didn’t understand, and those damn TV characters wouldn’t stop moaning. This little date or whatever you wanted to call it was turning into a disaster.
