Summary: Who says you can't always get what you want? Shayla is a Savannah socialite with a secret fetish for bad boys. When the younger, mysterious Keith pulls up in a hot muscle car, she knows he's exactly what she wants. Even if it's only for one night.

Back at Keith's apartment, there are no strings attached and no holds barred, especially when Keith's pretty roommate Carla joins the action. Shayla checks her inhibitions at the door and enjoys an erotic ride that's double the fun, with Keith and Carla focused solely on her pleasure!

Publisher's Note: This story was previously published elsewhere under the title Wet & Wild and has been revised for Ellora's Cave.

Madame Cecile Hussy's Review:

Wow ~ okay. This is one hot little quickie (under 50 pgs). If hot, quick, raw and a walk on the wide side is what you desire for a few hours - the All For Shayla is just what you are looking for then.

Shayle is a debutante in the high society of GA. Knowing that her family name has set the course of her life - not a life she would have chosen for herself. Sure there are parties and cute guys but that is not what Shayla wants. All the men she meets or her parents try to set up her with bore her to tears. She craves the one thing that gets her blood boiling, heart racing, and panties wet at the the mere thought of..... a bad boy.

Enter Keith - he just oozes sex. From the car his drives to the talk and walk and least not forget about the man's.... body. What, you thought I was going to say something else, what a wicked mind you have!

This is such a short story that I really can not give you much more of this story without giving away the story. But I will leave you with this... I wish this was All for Madame Hussy Cecile story. The night Shayla meets Keith will rock her world forever.

I only have two irks with this story. One was how much Shayla dotted on the fact that she belonged in the upper class world over and over. I get it - you are above me - drop it and get over it. The other was her reasoning of getting into a strangers car - knowing the kinda crazies there are in this world. That part was kinda risky. I know when the heat of the moment lures you and some of your senses go out the window.... but safety first.

Other than those two little issues.... This story will have you reaching for a fan and your own Keith. Just to give you a tease... Keith takes Shayla back home with and apparently someone has a birthday... is Shayla the present? Wanna find out.... well pick up the story and find out what is All For Shayla!

Fridays....... And Life.....

Hello my dear hussy followers....

First I have to apologize for not being around of the late...

October has always been a rough month for me...
My baby girl's birthday and my birthday are in this month...And yes, I trained her like a true mother should...
We celebrate all month long!
So, with that being said...


My baby turned 17 this past month.
It was kinda like her official last "sleep over" party.
When did this happen, I am not sure. I did not give her permission to grow up into this beautiful young woman she is today.... but I have enjoyed and hated watching it happen.
And this alone is reason enough to slow any parent down... Trying to keep up with their social calendars is like learning "what's makes men different from women (except you know what)?"
But I will face this like anything else in life... Put my big girl (ruffle) panties on and suck it up!

Now... That is no my only news... No....
I have been under the weather for a while and I finally getting over it.
See the above to know why, lmbo!
Yeah, running on fumes is not a good thing.
But it was worth in the end.
At least I hope so!
For my party it was...
Which I promise pictures as soon as I can get my hands on them!

Still more news to come....
The other reason I have not been around....
I got a new job!
So quitting my old job took a lot out of me because I am not the type of person to quit.
But it was a choice I had to make.
An opportunity came along that I could not pass up.
I am the Office Manager/Coordinator for a pediatric therapy office.
I am really enjoying the job so far....
The only down fall... my hours and the commute back and forth to work has changed.
I work some late hours and that has seriously taken a toll on me.So until I get a routine going, I am so sorry that I am neglecting you guys!
I know this does not help, but I do silently stalk you all on my reader!
I swear I do... or at the least the number can swear to it!

And besides just being a Housewife....


Life has been a little crazy.
So please forgive me....

And I also have something else....
On Fridays... I fly over to Houston A.W. Knight's place to do flashbacks from the past,
or just whatever my hussy hearts wants to do over there!
So come and join me over there...


Oh and I cannot forget....

If you made it this far...
You know I will bless you with a piece of my hidden treat...


So Happy Freaky (Let's follow the hand down the pants) Friday!!!
And remember... Keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy!

Wanna See What I Wear...

Did I grab your attention yet... I did... Well good...

Because Ms. Gina Gordon came to me (and a few other people) and issued us a challenge. And if you know me... I thrive on challenges...
What is our challenge you may be wondering...

Here was her challenge...

"If I were the heroine in a romance novel, I would wear *insert pic of lingerie here* to entice my hero."

So, head over there today to see what
I would wear to entice my hero!!!

OH this is going to be fun!!

This is just a tease....

And remember... Keep it Dirty, Smutty & Hussy!

In what feels like a moment, Beatrice Edmund goes from being a proper lady cooped up in a stuffy Scottish castle to traveling miles from anything she’s ever known, in the midst of the wildest adventure of her life. And at the center of that adventure is the most infuriating, puzzling scoundrel on earth. She cannot take her eyes off him.

THEN HE DROVE HER WILD

Colin Fitch cannot deny he’s drawn to Beatrice—but lust is all he could possibly feel for the sharp-tongued minx. Still, if there’s a chance she can help him stop the madman he pursues, he must withstand her obvious disapproval. Yet withstanding the longing he feels for her is growing more troublesome by the second… And Colin has never been terribly good at staying out of trouble…

Review & Interview: Sheet Music by Tibby Armstrong

Sheet Music
by: Tibby Armstrong

Line: Moderne

Series: None

Book Length: Short Novel

Book Type: eBook

Publisher: Ellora's Cave Publishing

ISBN: 9781419929625

Music journalist Kyra Martin faces the toughest assignment of her career—to write a cover story about enigmatic heartthrob David Tallis. Deadline looming, Kyra plans to go undercover. When she ends up under the covers with the sexy superstar instead, can both her career and their budding relationship survive?

With a closet full of skeletons to hide, and a paparazzi-fueled divorce behind him, David Tallis despises the press. When Kyra Martin bribes her way into his life, her sexy assets have him composing a duplicitous seduction. Ensnared in a media maelstrom of his own making, can David face the music? Or will he lose Kyra, along with another piece of himself?

The above information was obtained from Jasmine Jade Enterprise.

I was given this book by the author for my honest thoughts.

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 have to say that I have been extremely lucky lately with my reading material that they have all be awesome books and this one joins that list! Wow Ms. Armstrong.... What an awesome job! She delivered a freaking awesome story! She had all my emotions rolling through me... She left no stone unturned. This story is awesome not just because David is freaking sexy as hell and don't even mention his accent (getting the shivers just thinking of him saying my name - damn!)... Anyway... where was I.. Oh yeah.... Nope not because of David... and not because the sex is hot, hard and wild either... Nope.... Ms. Tibby gave us so much more. Two people with a very dark past... Pasts that could be dangerous in the wrong hands.... Hands that could literally make or break Kyra and David's present life.

Both have a lot on the line to lose... or gain. Depending on which way the chips fall. But... careers are not the only thing that is at stake... What would you risk for a chance at love? Let's find out...

Now... Ladies and Gents of the Lair... I want you to put together a warm welcome to a new author to me....

Ms. Tibby Armstrong!!

Welcome to the lair Ms. Tibby! We are truly delighted to have you here today!

Please make yourself comfy... grab a sit and drink!

How are you today?

Very well, thank you. I’m excited to be here.

Why don't you tell us a little about yourself.... Something that we cannot Google about you, lol!
Something you can’t Google...now that is a challenge. How about my favorite romance hero of all time? That would be Ruark Beauchamp from Kathleen Woodiwiss’ Shanna. I read it for the first time when I was fourteen and probably a hundred times since. There’s even a family reunion video with me at about eighteen, sequestered away from the festivities with the book in my hands.

Since you are a new to me author, I am hoping to bring you to the light of others! So share away!
Thank you! You can find out more about my day to day doings and misdeeds at http://www.tibbyarmstrong.com. I’m also on Facebook and Twitter under the same name. As for Sheet Music, here is the blurb:

Your current book, Sheet Music... Wow. I have to hand it to you... You did an amazing job with the story! You really drag your reader through the mud (emotionally speaking) to get to the ending. That is NOT a bad thing!! No, quite the opposite. You had my heart breaking, pulse racing, and hand itching to slap the shit out of someone - OH and let's not forget - you will forever have me looking at dressing rooms in a completely different way now! How much emotion did this story take from you to write?
I’m grinning like a fool—totally thrilled that you loved the book. David is very trying, but oh so devastatingly sexy, so we can forgive him a lot, can’t we? I’m assuming he’s the one you wanted to slap? *grins* If so, then I did my job right.
I tend to get very emotionally involved with my characters, and I have to say that David and Kyra were no exception. In fact, I will admit to anyone who listens that Kyra’s reaction to David was, and still is, very much my own. I rooted for these two the whole way through, even when I didn’t know how they could possibly make it work—they are from totally different worlds, and yet, each of them is incredibly vulnerable and searching for someone to trust. I was so glad I was able to give them their happily ever after.

What can you give us about Krya and David without giving away too much?
David is a man with a many-layered past. While he has lived his life in the limelight, he is one of the most private people you will ever meet—and, as we come to find out, with good reason. Kyra, has had her share of personal trials, and they have made her determined to succeed in her professional life at all costs. When their two wills collide, the resulting energy creates fireworks both in and out of the bedroom.

What was your favorite part of the book?
Oh, goodness. There are so many. I can’t pick just one, but if I had to pick two, I would say the first is the studio recording session that Kyra sits in on with David, and the second is a scene where Kyra sees the cover of the magazine article she has written about David for the first time. The emotions in those scenes were so incredibly palpable to me, they just leapt off the page while I was writing them and almost seemed to write themselves. Even when I read them now I want to crawl into the pages of the book and live these two incredible lives.

What are you currently working on?
I am working on two projects. One is a follow up to Sheet Music, which involves David’s sister and his head of security, titled Undercover Lover. The second is a coming-of-age story about two young men, titled No Apologies. These have been two very different, but equally fun and romantic stories to write.

Do you have anything due to release soon?
My agent is placing No Apologies with a publisher, and I anticipate Undercover Lover will be out in the spring of 2011 if I can get it finished soon enough!

What's one thing that you enjoy about writing?
One thing? You drive a hard bargain! I would have to say it’s the ability to live vicariously through my characters. They are such intense people with colorful lives. Through them I can have incredible experiences I could never hope to have otherwise.

Okay.... personal time!!!! Hehehe... Oh yeah... You thought I forgot... Not a chance! We will start off slow and easy, I promise!

What is on your night stand/dresser?
Lol. A wrapper for some baby bell cheese, my cell phone, my reading glasses, a stack of books and bills, a pen, and my swimming cap. I’m glad you didn’t ask about what was on the floor around my night stand. *winks*

What are you listening to you right now?
Right this very moment? The rain through my open window. If we’re talking music, however, I’m on a Coldplay kick. You can also find the playlists I wrote to while completing Sheet Music and No Apologies on Art of the Mix at http://www.artofthemix.org/AOTMCommunity/profile2.aspx?intmemberid=49695. It’s a really cool site where you can post your own music mixes and find other cool mixes by like-minded folks.

What are you reading right now?
A book on extreme survival tactics as research for Undercover Lover. Fiction-wise, I’m reading Nine Rules to Break While Romancing a Rake by Sarah MacLean.

What is your favorite season? Holiday?
My favorite season is early fall and my favorite holiday is my birthday!

And what has been your best b-day present ever??
Well, actually, it was something I bought for myself—a trip to London in 2000.

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...
