Blogiversary Day #1 with Lissa Matthews & Giveaway

Today we kick off Cecile's 4th Blogiversary.
I hope you have a chance to visit everyday. We have some fantastic ladies coming by to help celebrate.

First up, we have Lissa Matthews







Happy Anniversary My Smutty Friend...



Things I know about Cecile:

Loves wine

Loves LSU

Loves sexy lingerie

Loves a good time

Loves books

Loves Buck (And I do mean LOVES Buck)

Loves to be pampered

Loves coffee

Loves her friends, her family

Tells it like it is and doesn't take shit off anyone.

I met Cecile in person for the first time a little more than a year ago. She moved from Louisiana and now lives about 3 hours from me. Once in a while we meet up and spend the day talking books and kids and life and football. We eat breakfast and lunch and drink copious amounts of coffee. We have moved far beyond reviewer and author to very good friends. She usually texts me daily and my days are a little less bright when I don't hear from her. She's open and honest and I wouldn't trade her for anything or anyone. She knows me and I know her and my life is so enriched by her being in it.

I love you, Ce. From the bottom of my heart. Thank you for loving me back.
Now, in honor of Cecile, I'm going to give away her three favorite books of mine... Sweet Caroline, The Swing, and Simple Need. Just leave a comment and we'll choose someone!

Sweet Caroline


The second time around is even sweeter…with cherries on top.
Buck doesn’t do personal projects. Until he runs into a woman wandering the aisles of the local home-improvement store, looking lost and confused. Just the way this fantasy looks at him nearly buckles his knees. In a hot second, the successful owner of a contracting company becomes a simple handyman, ready and willing to get as personal as the lady will allow.
Since her less-than-golden marriage to the local golden boy ended, Caroline’s declaration of independence includes her own business, road trips…and nipple clamps. Now it’s time to cut the last tie to her old life, but the house needs some work before she can unload it and move to her dream cabin in the mountains. Hard as it is to admit, she needs a little help.
Over the next few months, he shows her his toys, like hammers and drills, and she shows him hers—like floggers and paddles. And their attraction is the tinder that could send Caroline’s plans for an independent life up in flames…
Warning: In the beginning, there’s a chance meeting in an adult toy store, followed by sightings of glass dildos, leather belt bindings, nipple rings, wicked clamps, cherry cheesecake and a hot, yummy handyman-type guy who’s really good with his hands…

The Swing 

Two years after his brother’s death in Afghanistan, Jethro is doing well. His handmade porch swing business is booming, his hip injury has healed and he’s still in love with Caitlyn. He knows he should resist her, but can’t, and pulls her into his darkly sensual world of sex and spankings.
Caitlyn has grieved, created a life for herself and has finally come to terms with her need for Jethro, her dead husband’s brother. With no small measure of hesitation, she takes a fateful step—daring him to turn her and their chance at happiness away.







Simple Need

Vinter is not your typical businessman. Tattoos, piercings and not a suit and tie in sight. One-third owner of a bar and a tattoo parlor along with being a bassist in a band, Vinter comes and goes as he pleases. He likes his beer cold, his music hard and his women scorching hot. Until he’s knocked off his game by a suburban doll he can’t stop wanting.
Elise needs a change. In men. The buttoned-up businessmen she’s been dating leave a lot to be desired—in romance, in respect and most definitely in sex. A recent text message from her now ex-lover drives Elise into a popular bar on the outside of town, where she meets one of its owners. He’s just the kind of man she’s never had and definitely the kind she’s always fantasized about. Big, bad and oh so naughty.
Unexpected tenderness. Unimaginable lust. Being dumped has never felt so damn good.








Living in North Carolina, talented, multi-published author, Lissa Matthews, has many loves in her life: Family, friends, NASCAR, football, music of all kinds, cooking, BDSM, and last, but not least, coffee. She loves it so much she and those who know her are surprised she hasn’t floated away on a caffeine-induced cloud while giving life to feisty heroines and hunky heroes.
Lissa’s love of romance came from every book she has ever picked up. No matter what she read, she fell in love with the written word. The promise of escape, the deep, intriguing characters, and the winding journey from beginning to end, constantly drew her into bookstores and libraries as she was growing up.
Her first stories were written in junior high and she kept it up through college. She would stay up late at night when her kids were little reading romance and still penning her own stories. In 2007, when she and her family moved to North Carolina from Florida, she began pursuing writing as a profession and she couldn’t imagine doing anything else… Well, except maybe writing in her own cupcake bakery/coffee shop. But that dream is a ways down the road… Lucky for Lissa, she believes in dreams coming true.
Lissa is married with two children and seven, yes, seven cats. She blames her oldest child for the cats.
