Cover Model Interview w/Jason Aaron Baca

The Lair wants to welcome a guest that I am not sure the Lair will be able to contain...

We have in the Lair with us a cover model...
So, please let's offer a warm *hot* welcome for...
Jason Aaron Baca!!

Welcome Jason, I hope you are comfortable...
Shall we get started..

Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol!

Well what you can't find on google these days about me will be difficult to answer. I think just about everything is on that search these days. . Besides the fact that I am a down to earth guy that enjoys his family. He is reserved and often stays quiet when there is a conflict over something. More the passive type of guy I'd guess you'd call me.

Since you are a new cover model to me, I am hoping to bring you to the light of others! So share away!

While I might be new to you or some of the other authors, I'm no stranger to this world. I've been modeling since1997. It wasn't until late 2005 that I did my first book cover though.

How many covers have you been on?

I'm currently at #82 but I believe there may be a few more out there that I haven't seen where they used my stock photos.

Favorite cover you're on?

N.J.Walter's Novel - Legacy Found

Is there a place where someone can get a hold of photos that weren't used on your shoots for their independent covers?

Yes, there is a database at this link http://www.theauthorsredroom.com/stock-photography/jason-baca/

What's the average day like when you're at a cover shoot?

Well I make it an event that day. I don't like the word average so I become extremely involved and gripped about this book cover I'm planning to shoot that day. I build myself up so much that I feel like the king of the world by the time I step into a studio. I make sure to give myself an adaquet spa treatment at my suite the morning of the shoot. I apply an ice pack to the face for 10 minutes, then after I apply a facial masque. The one I use right now is a clay Avocado & Oatmeal masque. I leave that on for 20 minutes then enter the shower. In the shower I begin with Olay's Spa Exfoliating Ribbons body wash plus. After I rinse that I use Tree Hut's Shea Body Wash which moisturizes and surrounds my senses with the rich, delicious scent of Shea Butter Extract. Finally for the body I use botanical fusion "restore" body wash which hydrates the skin while also brings advanced skincare into the shower.

For my face I use Clean & Clear's morning burst followed by and exfoliating deep clean cleanser then finally a moisturizing beauty bar which will add moisture to my skin. After toweling off I consume 16oz of pure spring water with freshly sliced cucumber. Then I apply Olay's Quench Plus Age Defying Body Lotion then over that I rub on Dermasil's Original Flavor Dry Skin Treatment which will control severe dry skin. For the face I use Gillette's Intense Cooling Lotion followed by L'Oreal's anti-dark circle eye moisturizer then Dermitage's Anti-Wrinkle Eye Serum for around the sides of the eyes. Then Garnier's Daily regenerating serum, then moisturizer, then The Body Shop's Face Protector which is a soothing daily defence against environmental aggressors.

Is there a place online where we can see the covers all together?

Absolutely but not ALL of them are on here - http://jasonaaronbaca.deviantart.com/gallery/29805178 The actual list is available at http://www.romancetreasure.com

What's your favorite music and tv show?

My favorite music is Genesis. Songs like In Too Deep and Land of Confusion grip me. I also enjoy that 80s song "For Tonight" by
Nancy Martinez.. Oh and Denise Williams "Let's Hear It For The Boy" My favorite reality TV show now is this Jersey Shore. Man they have attitudes that I love to watch!

Do you like to read?

Of course I do. I think reading is great because it forces you to use your head. Watching a tv show requires no concentration, they do all the work for you. With reading, you need to pull
out your real brain and begin to focus is you want to get anything out of it.

What's your favorite book?

Arnold Schwarzenegger's Encyclopedia. In this book he holds the tools that I needed to be successful in romance novels. Not just with the lifting weights stuff but about having the right mental attitude. He teaches you how to be a champion and how the best think.

Do you have a web site?

Yes, there are a few out there. The website to book me through my mgmt is http://www.hmmodels.com/model.asp?modelID=395 The website where people can see my photos,etc is http://jasonaaronbaca.deviantart.com

When you're not working what do you like to do for fun?

Fun? What does that word mean again? I am all work no play these days it seems. If I could have fun though, you'd still end up finding me at either a gym or at a hike somewhere or possibly a swimming pool doing some laps.

3 things you never leave the house without?

Chapstick, Daily Anti-Aging Moisturizer, & Big Red Chewing Gum (Because fresh breath is a priority in my life.)

Besides modelling, are you an actor or writer?

Writer - Kind of , Actor- Hmm not really. For the writing I wrote 2 books designed to help models with their careers (Journey of a Male Model,2004 & Overexposed (2007)
As for acting, I'm a terrible actor I found out. I can do the action stuff, its the talking that I can't do. haha.. Maybe they will have to create a voiceover for me.

Can you tell us an embarrassing moment while on a cover shoot?

I haven't had TOO many but I know one time I walked into a studio all macho thinking I was the best. They wanted me to be seated on a Harley Davidson Motorcycle. Well, I went to go get on this thing and didn't realize how heavy it was. I couldn't control it and lost my coordination and the bike slammed down. The owner of the bike that had brought it on set was not too happy about this and I didn't want to get on his bad side either. This bike was the love of his life. Lucky for me there was a lot of people in the studio and security
which kept him from ruining my modeling career.

Have you ever been recognized on the street by fans? If yes,What was that like?

Yes sure.. Not every single day but yes. It depends where I'm at though. If I'm at a airport or mall then I get a lot of people looking at me like "Hey I know that guy" but then they can't figure out from what. Or Some WILL figure it out and be like "Jason Baca" and come up and shake my hand. I don't know them so it can be a little scary when they know you but you
don't know them. I understand it more now though.

What are you currently working on?

Right now I just got off from 4 shoots that they did for Exercise & Health Magazine and Men's Workout Magazine. They often ask for workout routines using me as their fitness model.
I'm also going to be shooting for a number of other book covers. Stay tuned for that.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Oh yeah, I go there... Hahah... If you thought you were safe... Nah... Forgot it... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser?
Earplugs, Spring Water, Dirty Socks

What are you listening to you right now?
Soundscapes Station on Xfinity Cable The song is called "Wash Over Me" and is a piano melody. This next song that is now playing is called "Moonlit Dreams" which is also quite enchanting.

What are you reading right now?
Currently I'm reading a book called "Creative Imagery" how to visualize with all 5 senses by William Fezler.

What is your favorite season? Holiday?
Favorite season is winter. I like when I am all in a good mood while everyone else is depressed! My favorite holiday is Columbus Day because its all good that day... You can't go wrong if you don't get anyone anything that day... And if you forget to say "Happy Columbus Day" you won't pi$$ anyone off.

What is your guilty pleasure?
Reese's Peanut Butter Cups and Mr.Goodbar Chocolate. Yes, If a person tempts me with them, I usually give in and take the bait!

Hard and Quick Time! Don't think... Just answer! Okay, before we go this route, I will get us a refill on our drinks... I will be right back...

You know you do... Quickie time... Think fast....

Are you a quickie kind guy?
Nope, I am a slow steady kind of person.
Dark or Milk Chocolate?
Milk Chocolate! Reminds me of being a kid. Dark Chocolate I thought was always gross when adults handed it to me. I never understood it like I did Milk Chocolate.
Whipped or Melted?
Whipped is always the safer of the two. So I choose Melted!
Straight up or with a twist - sex?
Straight up!
What's ur fave drink - in a glass or on her?
White Wine! I don't get wild with drinks.
Spank or Flogger?
SPANK!
Soft Ties or Chains?
Neither! Try Barbed Wire!
Soft or Hard... Bed, where was your mind?
Soft bed for my hard body!
Hot Wax or Whip Cream?
Whip Cream. I love that stuff so there is no way I'm turning that down!

I want to thank you for coming over to my place Jason! It was a joy to have you here!

And remember... Always keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy!

Review: Fair Game by Patricia Briggs

Fair Game
Alpha & Omega #3

They say opposites attract. And in the case of werewolves Anna Latham and Charles Cornick, they mate. The son-and enforcer-of the leader of the North American werewolves, Charles is a dominant alpha. While Anna, an omega, has the rare ability to calm others of her kind.

Now that the werewolves have revealed themselves to humans, they can't afford any bad publicity. Infractions that could have been overlooked in the past must now be punished, and the strain of doing his father's dirty work is taking a toll on Charles.

Nevertheless, Charles and Anna are sent to Boston, when the FBI requests the pack's help on a local serial killer case. They quickly realize that not only the last two victims were werewolves-all of them were. Someone is targeting their kind. And now Anna and Charles have put themselves right in the killer's sights...

I obtained the above information from Amazon.com.

Let me say that I have been waiting for this book F-O-R-E-V-E-R!!!!! I started the series by picking up On The Prowl one day. It was an anthology with different stories in it but the one that struck me the most was Alpha and Omega. Charles and Anna... Ms. Patricia wrote a delicious short story of the beginning of their world and I was immediately sold on them... Especially Charles!!!!! OMG... Ms. Briggs created a world I wanted to devour from first page to last page and she had me begging for more. That one short story started my obsession for Charles... Okay and Anna because he does not go anywhere without her. She is kinda like a package deal... But still... Let me tell you more!!!

These two are an extremely rock solid powerhouse couple. They freaking rock the couple status, no matter what form they are in. They stand by each other through thick and thin.... And in this book, things get kinda scary because Charles has kinda shut Anna out. And nothing hurts more than your mate shutting you out. I do not care what you are/who you are... being shut out is never nice. But Charles is not doing it to be mean, he is doing it to protect her. But he doesn't realize is that what he is trying to protect Anna from could eventually destroy what he has with her...

Anna seeks out Charles dad, the Marrok - the commander in chief of the pack, to put a stop to what Charles has been doing... Being the enforcer and the executioner all in one has its disadvantages and carries around the ghosts of those that Charles had to end their lives is the price he pays... But Anna knows in her heart that - that price is just to high for anyone to pay. A price that could jeopardize her marriage and that is not a price she is not willing to pay.

So, Bran decides to give Charles another job... Sending Anna to help assist the FBI in a case that involves years of missing/murdered people... Therefore, leaving Charles to be her bodyguard. So that all Charles' attention should be on Anna and solving the case not on the ghost that are haunting him... Charles only wants to protect his mate... But not allowing her in, is slowly tearing her apart... But when Anna gets kidnapped... Will this Omega show her captors what she is made of while praying that her mate finds her in time...

Ms. Patricia gave me such a story that it left me wanting more. She set Charles and Anna in such a situation that had me cringing at the thought of what the villains were doing to their prey. She gave me the suspense and drama that always left me wanting... The villains were disgustingly evil and not who you would have thought they were... And yes, I said they... This story is freaky scary... Ms. Patricia gave me a good run for my money in this story... But I know there is more to come... RIGHT???

Now, I think it is kinda obvious that this is one of my favorite series to date! I am willing to wait another year for another chapter in Charles and Anna's life. It is just that good. I would definitely tell you to read from the beginning of this series. You probably can pick up any one of the stories and read and still know what is going on because Ms. Patricia does an excellent job at keeping you informed as to who is who and who belongs to who... But to properly educate you on the ***shivers*** basics of Charles, you should read from the beginning... Just to get the first taste of him... You will want to consume him and his world when you start reading, I promise. And believe me, he is anything but Fair Game with Anna around! =)

*Blog Tour* Dark Souls Vol 5 by Aleksandr Voinov *Riptide Publishing*

Ladies and Gents of the Lair, please put a warm welcome to Mr. Aleksandr! He has braved the front and come to the Smutty Hussy Lair to discuss........

Dark Soul: “Girl bits” in m/m

I’ve just finished “Dark Soul”, my mafia series. To be honest, when I started it, it was for the kink. For a long time, I’ve been fascinated by criminal organizations, and especially the mafia/Cosa Nostra. It’s the macho culture and homophobia, which makes life for gay or bisexual men really dangerous. Danger means conflict, and conflict is story.

When I started, I wanted to explore a number of kinks. Silvio Spadaro, my oldest character of them all, has always been a kinky (and very sexy) bastard. He was kinky before I, the author, understood what kink was. From the outset, I knew he’d lead a “straight” man into temptation. Stefano Marino, the boss of that local crime family, is a good-looking man in his early thirties, and at that age, he’s been married for a few years. What I honestly did not expect was the amount of resistance Stefano put up when fighting his attraction to Silvio. Because that’s the rule of m/m romance, isn’t it? If the other man in the main relationship is married, the author best get rid of the woman. So didn’t spend too much time on Stefano’s wife Donata. For most the first three books, we see her mainly as sex kitten, a very good-looking wife whom Stefano loves. She doesn’t get much screen time, because I was driving the relationship between Silvio and Stefano.

However, when things start to go very wrong for Stefano, Donata is there and supports him. She holds herself with dignity and grace, even when she’s convinced Stefano is having an affair. That was the point when I sat back and realized that my original plans to get her out of the picture wouldn’t work. Many m/m writers turn the women in their protagonist’s lives into total bitches, or kill them in some way (ideally leaving a newborn baby that the two men can then take care of). In my mind’s eye, I looked at this strong, loyal, graceful woman and suddenly, utterly, understood why Stefano loves her. She’s worthy of his love. She’s a worthy wife, a worthy ally. Stefano kept calling her his first, best ally. I realized he was right. I did love her, too.

So, Stefano, torn between Silvio and Donata, has to admit he loves both of them, wants them both, and even though he would most likely have chosen Donata if absolutely forced (and hating her a little for forcing him), it’s Donata’s generosity that takes that choice off the table. She understands that Silvio is not just a plaything, that her husband is truly capable of loving two people at the same time. And she makes him a huge gift: total acceptance, as hard as it is. She stands by him against the law, against the antagonist who tries to break him with his “little dirty secret”, and tells those people to get lost.

While I was writing Dark Soul 5, I knew I’d be losing readers over this. I broke one of the Cardinal Rules of m/m. There’s even an explicit sex scene between the two men and the woman that cements the new understanding between the characters.

Donata confesses she almost fell in love with a girl and is up for girl-on-girl action too, so all these characters are bisexual to some degree or other (with Silvio leaning more towards gay, but not completely 100% adamantly gay), which enables them to love people, not genitals (much as this author falls in love with a person, regardless of their gender). I think that’s a very human, very generous, very natural thing to do; to not judge a person worthy of love based on their gender, but just see them as people. And if people are happy and everybody agrees (and the characters in Dark Soul do), in my mind they can find whatever solution works for them.

It’s sad that this will lose me many readers (I already got emails saying “WFT were you thinking?! Girl bits in my M/M!?”). What’s worse, Dark Soul will, for this reason, not get reviewed at some of the biggest blogs out there, but I do believe that bisexual characters (and authors, and all other people) have a right to solve their problems in a way that works for them, not what other people expect. That’s the only way I know how to tell a story; tell the truth of characters, and consequences pretty much damned.

Please see my older post to see my reviews of all these books!! This is a great series!!!
Thanks again Alek for stopping by my place!!! Many Hugs to you!!

And remember... Always keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy!

Review: Dark Soul Vol 5 by Aleksandr Voinov *Riptide Publishing*

Dark Soul Vol 5

The saga comes to an end . . .

In “Dark Hunter I,” Stefano Marino must face his most dangerous enemy yet: US Attorney Sebastiano Beccaria, who’s seeking the total annihilation of the Marino clan in the hopes of purging his own dark past.

In “Dark Frost,” a traitor in the organization makes his move, hiring Silvio to kill Stefano. Meanwhile, Silvio struggles to find his place in the Marino home as Donata learns the truth about Stefano’s affair.

The game is up in “Dark Hunter II.” Sebastiano Beccaria confronts Stefano with evidence that will undermine his power and put his life at risk. Stefano faces a bitter choice: fight and risk it all, or flee and protect himself and those he loves. Also, there’s a puppy.

In “Dark Lie,” Stefano makes the only choice he can. With the mutiny brewing and his marriage hanging in the balance, he agrees to leave the life of organized crime. Beccaria has won, but the victory comes at high price—for everyone involved.

In “Dark Heart,” Stefano and Donata have gone to ground in Paris. When a ghost from the past tracks him down, he knows he won’t survive the day if he can’t find a way to make peace with all he left behind.

I obtained the above information from Riptide Publishing.

I was given this book for my honest thoughts and opinions.. So here goes...

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

I am just warning you.... This is a review about m/m reading. So, if this is not your cup of tea... just drop a line and say hi!! If this... then keep reading!

Dark Hunter I - Wow, this series keeps getting better. But in this one, Aleksandr starts pulling out the heaving punches. I had no clue he would go this route, but boy oh boy, I am excited about the turn of events. The one person that could bring down the Marnio family comes with his own Dark Soul.... Things from him past could hinder the case he is working on... I am not giving up who this new, key player in the story is... Nope, you are just going to have to read it yourself! Because believe me, I am thrilled that he went this way! It makes the story that much more intriguing!!!

Dark Frost - Damnit all to hell Aleksandr... You are going to be the death of me. The drama just got kicked up a notch and the suspense... Well, let's just say that I have no more nails and I am almost bald. Okay okay... But you get my point. The emotions are raw and out there now. The vengeance and backstabbing is out on the table... The war is only growing bigger now... But from within now... What will become of Stefano and Silvio and Donata??

Dark Hunter II - And true to the title of this one... The hunt is on and the target is Stefano. The decisions Stefano is faced with will cost him everything he holds dear to him. It might even cost him his life. Depending on who's side of the fence he is playing for, he might be able to save face. Can he keep the organization together long enough to save his own ass... Or will the conspiracy bring the roof down on everyone? Is love worth your life? But the deal he is contemplating... He might be making it with the devil himself... Let's find out what is to come...

Dark Lie - Holy Shit!!!!!!! And the plot thickens! Aleksandr, I can beat you! This is getting great! I mean, you have given me everything... There is some tension drama, the suspense is at a all-time high, the compassion and forgiveness is enough to make me go "awww" and the hot freaking sex (f/m/m) well... is just freaking hot! But then you threw in the "white sheep" of the family and I can' t wait to see what happens when the shit really hits the fan!!!

Dark Heart - Omg Omg Omg.... ***gets on knees and bows to the great Aleksandr*** This was an awesome story!! You tore out my heart, almost stomped on it... Repaired it to take it back away from me and then you give me the best damn ending this series could have had. Omg, you pulled me through the ringer, you had me cursing you because Stefano left him behind... I mean no note, no nothing.. **Sniff sniff** But then... I be damn you made it happen... Seriously, Stefano almost lost his life because of who his heart belonged too.

This is a great series! For those of you that love m/m stories, you have to read that one. I mean, you have to put aside whatever you are reading and read this one. Now I will tell you, you have to read this series in order! Aleksandr.... ***Super hugs***

*Giveaway & Author Interview* Cristal Ryder gets Naughty w/The Smtty Hussy!

My dear followers...
I am very happy to say that I was able to
*tie up ~ evil grin*
Ms. Cristal Ryder
for a little while to have a chat with her!
She is such a delight to have at the Lair!!
Let's give Ms. Cristal Ryder
a warm Hussy Lair welcome!!!
Isn't she gorgeous!

Oh and please make sure you read between the lines of this interview because I think Cristal snuck in a giveaway..... ***happy dance***

Hey Cristal, I hope all has been well for you... Why don't you tell us what you’ve been up to since the last time you were here?

Lots of naughty things with a little bit of writing mixed in.

Humm, now that sounds interesting! I could start this off naughty if I wanted to!! Hahaha!... But for those that don't come to the Lair often, why don't you tell us a little bit about yourself?

We'll, I'm Canadian, have two boys, 21 & 23 and I write erotic romance for Ellora's Cave and Lyrical Press. I love the outdoors and will jet away at a moments notice if given the opportunity. As I get older, I'm getting softer and can cry at the most inappropriate moments.

Did you use the older word... Honey, from that picture up there... Older is not you! We are going to do a little different interview because I know you are a busy woman (and let's be honest, I want to read the next book, so I won't keep you from writing! Ha) we are going to ask some random questions to get to know you better.... What are 3 things you would never leave the house without?

1. Wallet/purse
2. Phone
3. Clothes

And in your current book, what 3 things would your main character never leave the house without ~ Besides me of course, because I know those men in your books *evil smirk*?

He doesn't leave the house!

***I know I try to keep him busy, hahahahaha***

No need to with what *she* brings in to the house. But if I had to pick something it would be...

1. Wallet
2. Keys
3. Cell phone

In Switch Me Up, who was your favorite character to write and why?

Steve. It was completely in his POV. I had to think like a dude when it came to sex. Not as easy as you might think. I liked putting him in situations he didn't expect.

What was your favorite scene to write and the toughest?

Well, if I told you the exact scene it would be a spoiler. It was difficult to write because I wanted to try and make him vulnerable, comfortable in an uncomfortable situation and be able to know how far to go. He had a lot to learn in it and he did!

I challenge those that read Switch Me Up to tell me the scene and leave a comment. I'll pick someone to receive a book from my back list.

Omg... Did you just offer up a copy of something from your back list if we tell you our favorite scene from Switch Me Up!! Okay... I will repeat this at the end!! Thank you so much! That is so generous of you!!! I will keep this up for the month of March!!

Do you have a favorite cover?

Yes, I love Being Ariana and Switch Me Up. I can't wait to see the next cover EC does for my next release Elemental Heat. There be a cowboy in that book!

I’m a cover hussy, do you think it’s the cover that sells the book?

I believe a good cover helps the book get noticed and not passed over. There are so many wonderful books out there with great covers and some not so great. Of course it is depended on the readers taste as well.

Can you tell us a little bit about your new book? Maybe a little snippet? How about an excerpt?

Seems she will do better than that.. She is going to give us an excerpt!!!

An Excerpt From: SWITCH ME UP
Copyright © CRISTAL RYDER, 2012

All Rights Reserved, Ellora's Cave Publishing, Inc.

He left her in the living room. Upstairs he tossed some clothes laying around his bedroom into the hamper, smoothed the bed that didn’t need fixing and turned on the bedside lamp.
He was about to have sex with a complete stranger.
Something so totally out of character for him it made him nervous. He may be apprehensive but he sure wasn’t dead and he wasn’t about to let this opportunity pass by. His heart started to race and his cock hardened. Sex. Tonight he was going to bang a woman ten years his junior. What did that make him?
A lucky fucking dog, that’s what. He smiled at his wit.
Once he was satisfied with the room Steve went back downstairs.
He totally expected her to be sitting on the couch waiting for him with her drink in hand. He half hoped she’d be naked or something. Instead she sat in the shadows out of the glow of the fire. She had changed clothes. Steve adjusted his balls and stiffening dick in his jeans.
What the fuck did she have on?
She stood and stepped into the light cast by the fire and lamp in the far corner. He nearly swallowed his tongue. Now he knew one thing she had in the suitcase.
“Do you like?” Clare smoothed her palms over her breasts, along her sides and ended her caress by placing her hands on her hips, tipping her shoulder forward with her hip cocked. Her voice, low and sultry, wrapped around him like hot honey.
Steve nodded.
“Speak, tell me you like it.”
His eyebrows shot up and Clare reached out a hand sheathed in elbow-length leather opera gloves and touched his shoulder.
“I like it,” he replied quickly.
Clare’s husky laugh didn’t seem to fit her tiny form. She circled and paused behind him, running her finger across his back from shoulder to shoulder before settling both palms on his hips. He craned his head to look at her and was distracted when her black, stocking-clad leg hooked around his knee. Steve’s hand dropped to her thigh and held her leg in place.
“I’m glad you like it,” she whispered in his ear.
He kept his gaze glued on her leg, rubbing his palm up her thigh to the scarlet top on the stockings and back down to her knee. It was a spectacular sight. He groaned when she thrust her hips against his ass and tightened her grip.
“Are you hard for me?”
Is she fucking kidding? “Why don’t you check for yourself?”
“Oh, what a delicious invitation.”

Damn, what a passage to read!!! Thanks for sharing that!!!! Now... what if you found the genie in the magic lamp, what would your 3 wishes be?

Health, independence financially and mentally, & my own private beach

I do love that last one!!! Well, actually I like them all... But if you get that last one, I know you will bring your men with you and I want in on that deal!

Now what's the last line you wrote from your current WIP?

A tremor vibrated under his feet and he looked down, furrowing his brow. When he looked back up she was gone.

What are you working on now?

I'm finishing up the pre-edits for Elemental Heat, my next release with Ellora's Cave.

What’s coming up in the future?

A release sometime in May I'll be in an anthology Public Displays of Eroticisms, my story is called Taking it Outside. A Women's Fiction and my father's WWII story is top priority. But I will be doing a few short erotic romances as well, one about a sea witch.

What’s your motto?

Why wait until tomorroLinkw when you can do it today.

Favorite line you’ve ever written?

"What a goat fuck."

Where can your fans find you?

*Giveaway & Guest Post* Foreshock by Kari Gregg *Riptide Publishing*

The Lair is happy to have a guest post by Kari Gregg... Please give Kari a warm, hussy Lair welcome! Let's see what Kari has to say....

FOR YOU

What would you do for The One?

Would you give up everything you thought mattered to you?

When I met my husband...Well, I wasn't looking for a relationship, let's just say that. I wanted to finish my degree, move away from home, start my career. Then, maybe, I'd think about dating someone serious. But he was it for me. Say buh-bye to The Plan. Game over. Same for my husband. He'd just gotten out of a bad marriage and the absolute last thing he wanted was another commitment, to try again.

According to John Lennon, life is what happens while you're busy making other plans, but I think he had that a little wrong -- love is.

In Foreshock, Kyle has spent his life denying his feelings, but when he meets Eric, his resistance crumbles.

Kyle liked knowing he could make Eric forget his own name, but he was as hungry for the flash of heat they created together as Eric.

Beautiful.

What happened when they touched was beautiful. And carnal. Loving, hot, and eviscerating all at once. Eric would never get enough of it—or Kyle—and surrendered gladly to the animal burst of arousal.

Kyle has fallen for Eric. Hard. Hard enough to leave his fears behind. He's insecure, unsteady. Love has knocked him flat, but what he feels for Eric and what they have together makes both men better, stronger, and happier.

**Author Information**

Kari Gregg lives in the mountains of Wild and Wonderful West Virginia with her Wonderful husband and three very Wild children. Once Kari discovered the fabulous play land of erotic romances at RWA’s National Conference in 2009, the die was cast. Finally! A market for the smoking hot stories she loves!

When Kari’s not writing, she enjoys reading, coffee, zombie flicks, coffee, naked mud-wrestling (not really), and . . . coffee!

Book Information:
Foreshock by Kari Gregg

Sometimes the earth really does move.

Kyle Armentrout is every gay man’s fantasy in a tool belt, but he can’t even change a light bulb without injuring himself. Twice divorced and not long from the closet, he’s found his way into a fulfilling relationship at last, but he can’t quite escape the sense that he’s left his manhood behind in the process.

When Kyle’s latest DIY project slides into predictable disaster, his lover, Eric Mulholland, wants him to retire his Allen wrench and accept that he isn’t less of a man for loving Eric.

Then the fault lines of their relationship meet the fault lines of the 2011 Northeast earthquake, and the two lovers learn not just to stay on their feet when the ground shakes, but to actually treasure the tremble.

ARC Review: Cat Scratch Fever by Jodi Redford

Cat Scratch Fever ~ available April 2012

Who says a wolf can’t make a pussycat purr?

Perfect timing has never been Lilly Prescott’s long suit. Seconds before a showdown with werewolf Dante Morgan, who owns a property that by rights should belong to her, she goes into heat. Not a simple event for a lynx shifter. No, she’s doomed to weeks of frustration that can only be soothed by frequent rolls in the hay—or her hand. Unfortunately, Dante accidentally witnesses the latter.

Left shaken and highly aroused in the snow, Dante can’t believe he’s attracted to the woman who drives him crazy, and not in a good way. Worse, his father has issued an ultimatum. Marry, or abdicate his place as pack leader. On the other hand, it’s the perfect leverage. Lilly will get her land…in exchange for a wedding ring and all the sexual satisfaction she can handle.

Marry Dante? No doubt he’s a poster boy for Hunks ’R’ Us, but he’s rude, arrogant and Lilly’s sworn enemy. Not to mention the thought of losing her independence is frightening as hell.

When they find themselves falling victim to their own charade, though, it’s anything but hell. It’s heaven, and the last thing either of them wants. The real thing.

Warning: This book contains redneck werewolves, inconvenient hormones, and a whole new use for cat toys. Uncontrollable meowing may occur.

I obtained the above information from Ms. Jodi's place.
I was given this book for my honest thoughts! So, let's rolll...

Okay, I would normally put in my short story warning... but technically this is not a short story coming in under 175 pages. I am only saying about short story because I read it in one day... So, now that you know that, you can make your own judgement!!

Now... if you notice the first line under the title... I made it bold for you... That alone - if not the title alone - really made me want to read this book! I love Ms. Jodi's work. If you have time to check out my archives, you will see that I have a read a couple of things by her already. She has amazing talent! Her writing is soooo descriptive and thorough that I can almost smell the scents she describes, I can feel the tension she is creating, I can sense the danger lurking in the dark... To bad I can't actually feel what Dante feels like... But you know... It is just that good that if I close my eyes.. Well, that is for another conversation. But anyways....

Ms. Jodi's stories are full of everything that it takes to make me feel the story. She makes me smile with the happiness of the characters, she makes me frown when things don't go quite like they should, she really makes me want to bitch slap a woman.... She makes me feel the sexual tension in the air, she clearly makes me feel the lust, she makes me feel the love that could be there... If two people would just put their differences aside... Just maybe...

Lilly is a woman after my own heart... She is a special kinda woman. Well, besides being a lynx shifter, she is just a plain ordinary woman who feels the past of her parents has screwed up her chances at happiness. She knows her life is never going to be perfect. She has a sassy mouth on her and an even sassier attitude! And she is funny as hell. But she has a passion... And that passion is building a private retreat for the Lynchat Foundation. She has given this her heart and soul.... But one man stands in her way... Tall, dark, aggravating, obnoxious, handsome werewolf...

Dante... is that werewolf that stands in her way... Actually if truth be told, he is actually sitting his sweet ass down on what is in her way... Land that "legally" belongs to her family. A long time ago... During a poker game.. You see where I am going with this... Her grandfather bet the land to Dante's dad. So, rightfully, the land does belong to Dante and not Lilly... But that has not stopped Lilly from pleading her case to Dante every chance she gets. Which seems like it is all the time! Dante knows he is next in line to be the alpha of his father's pack. But the deal his Dad is trying to strike has this werewolf looking at other options... Dante really does not want the spend the rest of his life with a real wolf of a bitch (whom no one can stand)... But what are his other options...

These two are hilarious!! I love this story. I am not lying when I say the whole story is so descriptive you will feel like you are right in the story. You will feel the cold of the snow, you will feel the tension in the air when these two get together... but you will also feel the heat that radiates off these two, you will see the lust that is hidden in the evil glares they try to swap. Their banter is amazing. Ms. Jodi created these two with such stubbornness and bull headiness that their actual clashing becomes explosive!

They have obstacles to over come and a lot to deal with, but when these two drop the fences, leave the bitchiness alone and see each other for who they really are... It will blow your mind! This story has everything to make it the great story it is... There is love, hate, there is close call of death...

Have you ever wanted your man to fight for you with all he has? Did you ever look at your man and know with every fiber in you that he was yours... Completely, utterly... yours? Well, welcome to Lilly & Dante's world... Let's see what happens to make this Cat Scratch Fever!

Okay, now Ms. Jodi.... I am willing to bet that Shane, Dante's cousin... and Kinsley, Lilly's sister, are the next hook-ups!?!?!?! I love this series! Please, you have to give me more!!! You know I will be stalking you until I get it!

Review: Chains of Souls by Maria Zannini

Chains of Souls
Book Two
Maria Zannini

Banished from Heaven for refusing to harvest an unwilling soul, Liam Chase drinks to forget until the night he is visited by the Angel of Death.

For the price of a few humans souls, Ziva promises to get him reinstated into Heaven. Liam doesn’t doubt her influence, but milking humans of their light is an abomination, punishable by eternal oblivion.

He’d rather rot on Earth than commit such a heinous crime. But the Angel of Death didn’t get where she was by taking no for an answer. Ziva is a huntress of extraordinary skill and cruelty. If he refuses, his loved ones will be her next targets. And Ziva never misses.

I obtained the above information from Ms. Maria's blog place!

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

I was given this book for my honest thoughts and opinions... So here goes....

Okay, where do I begin. I read Ms. Maria's first book, The Devil To Pay, a while back and was simply blown away. It was an awesome start to a very intriguing series. Ms. Maria did not disappoint with book two. She has a way with her words and her story telling that makes you want to stop what you are doing.... or who you are doing and read her book. Hell, her story might even make you forgot what and who you were doing! Ha! It is that good. Her story really will enthrall you till the point you might forget what time it is and where you are.

Her first story wrapped around me, coiled my emotions so tight... She brought me through Heaven and Hell... With one woman, Shannon, and two men... Two brothers.... Liam and Michael... One from Heaven... And one from Hell... And she continued the story...

In the first story, all Hell broke loose for Shannon and she handled it the best way she could. She dealt with the hand that was basically given to her... In a world she didn't even know existed. But it is a world that is around us... even in today's world.

Shannon just melts my heart. She is a woman that you will want to be her friend and help her kick some "man" ass. She is torn between two men, one she can have and one she is denied of having. Her heart belongs to both of them... One actually owns her heart and the other... Well, she truly wants to give her heart to. But when you have two brothers who compete for everything... Sometimes a heart is not something you compete over, you simply just love it. But one wants to own it because he does not want the other brother to have it. Shannon's trials continue and this one is no different... Well, actually it is different because she thought her world was turned upside in The Devil to Pay, her world really flips over a couple of times in this one! Can the love for one man break her heart and crush her soul... Wait, she is soulless... But can a soulless woman find the one thing she desires more than the love of her man... Her freedom... But is freedom something she wants....

Liam, God... what can be said about the man who has fallen from the grace of Heaven. His heart is truly in the right place. His intentions are always for what's best for someone else... But the one woman who can change the course of his life and those that he loves comes to him with a deal - is it in the best interest of everyone to say no to her... Or just simply do her bidding and pray to the Heaves that kicked him out that no one finds out. Liam is torn and truly at odds with his decision, but when things go wrong... and I mean terribly wrong, he regrets every minute of every decision he made.... But can he ever make things right to win the heart of the one woman that means the world to him...

Michael knows what it is like to be through Hell and back... But owning a woman who wants to be with someone else... And that someone else being your brother... Is really a bitch. Then knowing her heart does not truly belong to him really bugs the shit out of him! Michael has always felt he was under his brothers shadow and this was something he felt like he "one uped" his brother with... Having the one woman Liam wants and could not have.... But when things start to fall to pieces and actually go to Hell in a hand basket does he really start to realize that it is not all about him...

The story just keeps getting better and better. Ms. Maria brought in a few more key players to the story of Heaven and Hell. Shannon's life truly gets more complicated and even deadly. But being a Shade is not always easy but she has some cool tricks up her sleeve... But being soulless is not what life is all about and being under the command of Michael.... And not being able to have the one man she wants, Liam... is truly like being in Hell.... Then let's add in the mix, Ziva, the Angel of Death who wants her dead just makes her day all kind of sunshine. **Insert bitch slap a woman** Omg.. Ziva makes the word bitch look like a compliment. I mean her title should tell you something, but believe this woman puts the extra step in her title. And right now Shannon is at the top of her list! So... if you think you were having a bad day... Let's just be thankful the Angel of Death does not have your number!

Damn, I want more of this story like now!!! I have to know what is going to happen... Because Ms. Maria... like it or not, you have to give me more! I need to know... Or should I just be honest and say I want more Liam and Michael.... And of course I need to know if Evie and Aiden will get to be together indefinitely... Come'on... I mean this series is freaking kicking! The adventure Ms. Maria will take you on is one I promise you will enjoy... The men are smoking hot, the sex is hot.... *not explicitly so ~ but just enough*, the action and drama is just right and the suspense will kill you... Okay... Now I am ready for book three!!! Hint hint hint!!!! I demand more Liam, Shannon, and Michael... Will the brothers learn how to share... Will Liam's old soul win over Shannon... Or will Michael learn there can be a little Heaven in his Hell? But it all comes at a price from The Chains of Souls...

ARC Review: Dark Soul 4 by Aleksandr Voinov

Dark Soul Vol 4
Aleksandra Voninov

In “Dark Rival I,” the noose tightens around Stefano Marino’s neck. While Silvio and Franco are off taking care of the Russian problem, mutiny brews in Stefano’s crime family. It soon becomes clear he can trust only one man in his life, but whether he can hold on to Silvio—and what it might cost his marriage—are questions for which he has no answers.

In “Dark Rival II,” Silvio returns from his mission. Job done, threat gone, Stefano knows Silvio has no reason to stay. Or so he thought, anyway, until Silvio makes his move. It seems Silvio wants only sex, but Stefano is well aware there’s much, much more on the line. Including Donata, whose suspicions of a mistress in Stefano’s life are uncomfortably close to an even more uncomfortable truth.

Hopeless and helpless as his life crumbles down around his head, Stefano gives in to his desires in “Dark Temptation.” He isn’t any closer to understanding Silvio—and he’s farther from Donata than he’s ever been—but at least he’s come to understand his own needs. Now if only he could figure out how to be himself without hurting the ones he loves the most.

I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

I am just warning you.... This is a review about m/m reading. So, if this is not your cup of tea... just drop a line and say hi!! If this... then keep reading!

Dark Rival I ~ Stefano is starting to feel the heat. But this time, instead of the heat coming from the enemy... It is coming from his own "family." That is never a good sign when your family starts to doubt you or your actions. Threads start to unravel and things start to slip... All the while, Stefano is learning a few hard lessons about himself but those lessons might come with a price he's not willing to pay. Or is he? The drama, the intense suspense, and the affairs keep getting darker and darker. Aleksandr, you are a wicked person! The story just keeps getting better. And damn you for making me stay up late reading it! Now off to read...

Dark Rival II ~ The war may be over but Stefano is still fighting a battle... But is it a losing battle? Is it going to be one where he gains all that is needed to win or is he going to lose everything and have nothing and no one to run to when it's over? Stefano is playing a dangerous game, one where someone is bound to get hurt... Lives have been lost, trust is slowly bleeding away, and love is giving way to lust. One wrong word could crumble his life.... Will Stefano stand up and be the man he needs to be, the boss he declares himself, the leader of the family... Or will he succumb to the ways of a coward and run? Damn this story is getting better and better!

Dark Temptation ~ Oh damn, it looks like the dam has broke and Stefano has just about lost his control when it comes to Silvio. The story is not over... Nope... There is more to come with book five. Of course there is more... Why because we have to find out if Stafano can have his cake and eat it too, I mean just because the Russians are put out of their misery doesn't mean there will not be retaliation from someone... Or hell, who knows if his own "family" won't try to turn over his position. There is always mutiny brewing up... Or is that the affairs... Hummmm... Who knows???

Review: Hunter's Prey by Moira Rogers

Hunter's Prey
(Bloodhounds #2)

Upcoming Release Dates: March 06, 2012 (ebook)

Wilder's Mate & Hunter's Prey will be combined into one print volume. See the print collection for more details.
Ophelia retired from life as a prostitute, but her new position is even more complicated. Managing the bloodhound manor in Iron Creek is difficult and time-consuming, a job she enjoys less with each passing day. Then there's her inconvenient attraction to Hunter. The newly turned hound seems eager to enjoy her company, but wary of anything more intimate.

Having survived the violence of his first full moon out of a cage, Hunter isn't looking forward to his first new moon. Ophelia offers to be the woman who sates his needs during the three long days of sexual fury, but he can't abide the thought of hurting her in a state of mindless lust. Especially since she longs to settle into a respectable life, and his needs are anything but respectable.

Their mutual goal is simple: avoid entanglements. It's a solid plan, at least until a vampire drug lord and a couple of nosy Guild representatives force them to work together to defend their friends and everything they hold dear--including each other.

Warning: Contains a mostly feral, vampire-hunting hero and a tough survivor of a heroine whose retired-hooker heart is more steel than gold. Also included: dangerous frontier intrigue, fancy brothels, mad-scientist weapons and a good dose of wicked loving in an alternate Wild West.

I obtained the above information from Ms. Moira's website.

If you come to the Lair often you will know that I am a fan of Ms. Moira's creative worlds. She creates worlds which you can lose yourself in and escape into the fantasy of a story so well told that you might actually think you are in it. Her stories will move you, shake you, entice you, and make you desire more. Her writing has developed stories that will make you happy, then sad only to bring you out to intrigue you. Her stories will draw the suspense out, brings the needs of characters to a boiling point. She wraps you around the world she creates with just words but will leave you breathless.

This story is no exception. Ms. Moira has created this world of Bloodhounds that will make you blood run hot and your dreams even hotter. Their world will rock you with the inventions, the action and the hot freaking, sexy alpha men!

Hunter is new to the lifestyle of the bloodhound world... New to the things that make him what is he. But at the same time, lost to a past of what once was... Hunter really struck me because he really wore his heart on his sleeve; although, I'm sure If you asked him, he would not agree with me, lol. On the outside, he is all tough and he-man... But on the inside... He is a big teddy bear with a hellva possessive streak. And that has to do with one woman.... The one that could be the death of him...

Ophelia, now she is one strong woman. She manages a home for the bloodhounds. Her past may color other peoples thoughts about her but she really doesn't care. Her past was a hard life, most woman would cringe at having to live it. But she did what she had to do to survive and for that I admire her and her strength. But wanting to leave the manor and being on her own has always had it's appeal to her until a Bloodhound named Hunter came to the manor and took her world by storm.

This is a story about two people who feel a little lost in the world in which has not had given them to many shining moments. In fact, life has dealt both of them some crappy hands. But its what they have done with those hands that has made them who they are today. Two individuals that come together to give you one hellva story. These two have given Ms. Moira a run for her money to write. They are both stubborn and determined to make it on their own in this world. Which only makes their tale so worth the ride.

Ms. Moria, these stories just keep getting better, hotter and more dangerous. The men are bad asses to the bone and make for some delicious lovers! The woman are just as bad, they know how to take care of themselves but know how to give so their men feel wanted... and needed. The combination of characters in this series is quite intriguing and the missions sometimes turn deadly... I will say, Wilder still makes my heart beat... but damnit if these men are not giving him a run for his money! Awesome job Ms. Moira... keep these men coming!!!

Review: Merrick's Destiny by Moira Rogers

Merrick's Destiny
(Bloodhounds #1.5)
All Romance Ebooks (Exclusive)

A short story set between Wilder's Mate and Hunter's Prey.

Merrick Wood is a wild man--literally. For six decades he's stalked the Rocky Mountains as a bloodhound, fighting a losing battle against the vampires who have taken over most of the American frontier. He's sure he's seen it all, until an airship crash leaves him caught behind enemy lines with a concussion and a mate he doesn't remember taking.

Paralee Colton is a wild woman. She enjoys her freedom and makes a good living flying over the Deadlands. Until, that is, bloodsuckers shoot down her ship, and she's forced to deal with an irritatingly attractive man who isn't a man at all.

Trapped together in the wilderness, Merrick and Paralee must fight to find a safe camp before the new moon drags Merrick into three days of sexual madness. But as enticing as Paralee finds the bloodhound, she doesn't realize the stakes of their courtship game.

Getting out of the Deadlands is only half of Merrick's battle for survival. If he can't convince Paralee to stay with him, he'll follow the footsteps of every bloodhound who's ever lost a mate--straight into the grave.

I obtained the above information from Ms. Moira's website!

For those of you that know me... and those that don't this is my little statement about short books.... I do not judge short stories on the rush of their relationships, because they are just that - short stories. So, yes the relationships always could have been drawn out more, yea it seems like they fall in love to fast and of course the story could have been made longer... but it is a short story. So with that said.... here is my review...

Now, I have to start off by saying that I love this series!!! If you come here a good bit, you will know that I love reading Ms. Moira's stories! She is such an mystifying writing! She has etched out her name in my list of go to authors! She knows how to do all the things necessary to keep me focuses on her stories and nothing more.... No dishes, no kids, no cooking, no man... Well, maybe during those certain parts that get really hot... then the man comes to mind, hahaha!! But seriously, her writing is kick ass.

Now, with that said, I have to say that this cover kinda left me... Yea, scratching my head. But thank goodness I am not that much of a cover hussy to let the "judge a book by it's cover," bother me, lol. I mean, the dude would probably be hot without the... yea.. You see. But anyways.....

This is a hot little story that adds to the series of the Bloodhounds. It is sweet, hot, soft and hard. It is about finding that one and just knowing... Knowing that no matter what, you would not hold someone against what they don't want but praying to the Gods that they do want you. These two... Merrick and Paralee are two strong characters that proves patience is a virtue... One that needs to hurry up!!

The story keeps going... And I am going to keep reading! Ms. Moira... You are one (or two) women with one hell'va wicked mind!! Now it is time for you to catch up to me! Come on... You know you want a little Bloodhound lust!

Ohhhhhhhhhh and make sure to come back for my review of Hunter's Prey (Book 2) on release day which is tomorrow!!!!!
