Better-than-cake(1)

Better than Cake

BLURB

After the worst fight of her marriage, the last place Stephanie wants to be is a wedding reception. She still can’t get over what happened. Could their five years of marriage be destroyed after a blast of heated words? Johnny suggested separating. Separating! Now with her marriage on the line, she has to put on a brave face and pretend love is grand.

Johnny doesn’t know why he’d freaked out the way he had and is left with one emotion. Regret. He doesn’t want to lose Stephanie. He must find her and make things right.

Stephanie enters the reception, fearing the end of her marriage, but Johnny has something else in mind. A much more decadent proposal that’ll turn her friend’s wedding into an event they’ll never forget.

April is LGBT+ Month at Laura Plus Books


I know, I know, it’s not April yet – but that means there’s plenty of time for YOU to sign up and get involved in celebrating LGBT+ fiction all through April over at Laura Plus Books!

Here’s the scoop, straight from the mouths of organizers Cayce at Fighting Dreamer and Laura at Laura Plus Books.

This event has no real rules. All you have to do is read and share LGBT+ books. At least one book or one post! Try to spread the acceptance of LGBT+. You don’t need to have a blog. You can have a YouTube channel, you can review books on Goodreads and/or you can use the hashtag #LGBTApril on Twitter!

Different things we’ll be doing during April are reviews, giveaways, guest posts, discussions, everything! We really hope you can too! There will also be Twitter parties! At the beginning of each week, we’ll post a Linky. There, you can link-up all your different posts. You can read all the things other people are posting too.

Do you blog? You can blog about LGBT+ books, interview some LGBT+ authors, and link your posts each week for others to see.

Are you an author of LGBT+ books? You can post about your books and link your posts, or you might like to click on some of the blogger links and offer to be interviewed.

YouTube? Twitter? Goodreads? Other outlets? Post away, and come back and share your links.

Hubs and I will be there, with bells on (which has me wondering exactly what that means, maybe it’s kinky :)). We’d love to host you on our blog if you’re an LGBT+ author or blogger, and we’d be happy to be interviewed, as well.

Having said all that, I just have to share – one of our recent LGBT releases just received a 4.5 star review!

Four and a half stars at Love Bites and Silk Ties: This story is all kinds of sexy, definitely for grown-ups only, erotic fiction written tastefully, and shows how a ménage relationship can work beautifully… I loved this little trifecta. Kay

Here’s the blurb:

Dark and brooding, Adam Granger was always the bad boy out of reach—but now he’s in Sarah Atkinson’s bed, the morning after their twentieth high school reunion. When Adam beats a retreat to his Pacific Palisades estate, former good girl Sarah throws caution to the wind and pursues him.

Petite copper-skinned Maria Ramirez greets Sarah at Adam’s front door. The former exotic dancer doesn’t challenge Sarah’s assumption she’s the maid—how long will it take the dark-haired beauty to figure out Maria is Adam’s live-in lover? Better yet, how long before Maria can entice her into their bed?

Determined not to rock his hard-won lifestyle, Adam resolves to push Sarah past her sexual limits so she’ll leave. When she stays, he watches helplessly as the two women fall in love with each other. Will they shut him out? And, if they let him in, what must he sacrifice?

There’s still time to join a NetGalley Co-op for Indie authors


There are new opportunities on NetGalley for self-published authors! I’m excited about what this means – the doors it opens – for Indie authors. There are basically three options but OPTION THREE looks to be the most affordable and beneficial for Indie authors.

What Does NetGalley Do?

NetGalley provides a place where authors/publishers can upload their ebooks (ARCs or older titles) and reviewers can request a copy for review. If approved, NetGalley readers will read and review the titles.

NetGalley gives you fast and easy access to the 120,000 bloggers, journalists, librarians, booksellers, and media people who use NetGalley. And these reviewers are some high profile groups – movers and shakers in the book review realm.

Three ways for Indie Authors to join NetGalley:

OPTION ONE Indie authors can upload their ebooks to NetGalley manually. For $400, you can post one title for six months.

OPTION TWO Indie authors can upload their ebooks to NetGalley through the IBPA program. For $350, they will help you in posting one title for six months.

OPTION THREE 20 indie authors can form a co-op that will have access to 20 title slots for one year. Each individual author can swap out as many titles as they need during that year. The cost is $300 per author (equivalent of $25/month) for the full year of access, unlimited number of titles.

GOOD NEWS! There’s a NEW CoOp forming NOW! I’ve opted in to Paloma Beck’s  ROMANCE BECKONS INDIE CoOp.

Indie authors interested in being a part of the ROMANCE BECKONS INDIE CoOp , contact Paloma Beck. Be sure “NetGalley CoOp” is in the subject header.

LOOK AT THESE STATS FROM THE All Night Reads CoOp (found on Susan Kaye’s blog)

“Within a day of getting All Night Reads started, we had 11 titles live in the catalog, with 446 approved requests, of which 286 downloaded right away and 1 person had read and reviewed. ALL IN ONE DAY.

After a week, 19 titles with 2,216 approved review requests (2,185 actually downloaded) and 36 reviews.”

THOSE ARE SOME SOLID STATS!

So, $300 feels like an awful lot of money. BUT… here’s why it’s worth it…

  1. It includes a year’s worth of NetGalley access for as many books as you want! NetGalley allows you to switch them out which means you could have a new book live each month.
  2. It saves you the time of querying reviewers/ bloggers directly. No more cold call emails!
  3. It exposes your book to the right reviewers. NetGalley allows the reviewer to request the books they believe match their reading interest so your book lands in the right hands.
  4. It puts your book in front of a diverse audience. NetGalley reviewers include librarians and other media people, as well as book bloggers, general Goodreads reviewers and booksellers.
Indie CoOps are popping up on NetGalley. For information on another Indie CoOp, follow this link to Patchwork Press where Paloma’s idea to form her own originated. Here’s another author speaking about her experience in forming the All Night Reads CoOp.
It’s a new opportunity for Indie Authors! I’m part of the ROMANCE BECKONS INDIE CoOp. CHECK IT ALL OUT. Then you’ll want to be part of it too. There are still spots available but HURRY!

Our story just received Top Pick and a Five Star review at Night Owl Reviews! It’s available as a free-standing novella for $1.99 at this link – or, of course, for just $.99, you can have nine additional novellas by ordering Bring on the Heat, your choice :).

Cherry Tune-Up

BLURB

Desperate for a crash course in lovemaking, Bobbi Jo Martin seeks out her childhood best friend. A successful contractor with NASCAR dreams, Jack Day has never forgotten her—but how will he protect his heart? In a moment of sheer genius he decides to play the role of master…

EXCERPT

With only slightly trembling hands, Bobbi Jo twisted the doorknob and stepped into Jack’s bedroom.

“It’s about time,” he declared.

Bobbi Jo faltered at the sight of Jack lying on his bed clad only in a pair of sweatpants. His bare chest looked like the handiwork of a sculptor. His abs had that washboard appearance she’d only seen in magazines she’d briefly explored in some waiting room. But it was his crooked smile that really set her on edge. She used to be able to read his moods, but he’d become a sphinx—a dangerous-looking one.
