BLOG TOUR: DANCING FOR DOLLARS BY CANDY CAINE SPOTLIGHT



Dancing for Dollars
by
Candy Caine

Genre: New Adult Romance

 Bree Washington, a young African-American woman, has always wanted to become a doctor. When her father loses his job, she is forced to find other means to raise money to continue her schooling. Loving to dance and doing it well, she becomes an exotic dancer. Bree figures her dancing days will be history after she gets her medical degree.

Though being a doctor gives her a sense of fulfillment, Bree fears life is passing her by. Alone without any family of her own, more than anything, she wants to marry and have children. Fate intervenes when she saves the life of a child who had been in a horrific auto accident. She falls in love with the child's father, Richard Whitman, the DA for Harris County, Texas. Bree's future looks rosy until Richard Whitman decides to run for governor and her past collides with her future.
 

A loud rustling in the leaves of the old oak tree by my window woke me. Spring had come early this year to Texas, leaving record-breaking heat in its wake. I’d left the window open to try to cool off my room in order to help me sleep better. Probably a wind picking up or a critter, I thought, providing myself an excuse not to have to get out of bed and investigate. I closed my eyes and began to slip off into dreamland once more.

Suddenly I felt a large, calloused hot hand cover my mouth so I couldn’t scream out. Its mate was already exploring my scantily clad body, roughly squeezing my breasts. He took his hand from my mouth and whispered hoarsely, “Don’t make a sound.”

My heart nearly jumped into my throat. “Clint, what are you doing here?”

“I couldn’t wait until I saw you tomorrow night. Here, touch me. I’m as hard as that tree I just climbed.”

I reached down to feel the enormous bulge that threatened to rip through the denim of his jeans. Mercifully, I unzipped Clint’s jeans, freeing his hot, swollen member as if I were freeing a genie from a bottle. And I only had one wish in mind for it to perform.

Sleep was now the furthest thing on my mind as Clint’s lips covered mine. It was a rough, demanding kiss, the kind that always drove me wild and left me wanting more. His cock prodded my hip as my heartbeat quickened in anticipation. I felt his hand slip under the flimsy oversized tee shirt I was wearing and capture one of my breasts, rubbing its nipple into a firm raisin. I stifled a moan.

As his lips left my own to make their way down my neck, his other hand covered my wet pussy. I was ready for him. He walked his fingers through my forest of tightly curled hair before finally inserting two of them. I closed my snatch around them and rubbed my clit up and down, sending tiny explosions throughout my body.

He removed his fingers and licked them dry before slipping on a condom. I could not keep my body still as I waited. It was times like this one I’d wished I was on the Pill already. Those few moments felt like an eternity before he slipped inside me, filling me completely. Together we began to move in our rehearsed dance of love, the tempo increasing as our orgasms approached. Ever since Clint introduced me to this unbelievable joy and turned me into a woman—his woman—I never truly knew what love was all about.

I hoped the movement of my bedsprings didn’t wake my father. Most likely he wasn’t even in his room and could be found zonked out in the den. The thought of what would happen if he found us fucking was something I couldn’t bear. Luckily it didn’t take us long before we both came. I couldn’t wait until we were married and didn’t have to sneak around like this. We’d be able to sleep together and wake in each other’s arms.

“You’d better go,” I urged him, fearful our luck would run out. Clint pulled out of me slowly and rolled off the condom. I watched him pull his clothes on that hard, lean body of his, making me hot again. I was getting excited all over again. He leaned over and kissed my breast. Then he kissed my mouth.

“See you tomorrow night,” he whispered.

“Be careful,” I said, walking over to the window with him.

“I love you, Bree Washburn.”

“I love you, too, Clint Anderson. Now get,” I said slapping his ass and kissing him one more time before he went out the window.

He wrapped his arm around a tree limb and waved as he began to descend.

BLOG BLITZ: Uncensored Passion by Bobbi Cole Meyer SPOTLIGHT



Book one in the Men of Passion Series: A contemporary erotic series about the passions and devotion of five men to the one woman who loves them all...



Kayla Saradon is a beautiful, respected psychiatrist who her friends claim has discovered the fountain of youth. Kayla wonders what her friends would say if they knew her secret is the polyandry lifestyle she shares with her four, studly "husbands" — each skilled in his own sexual specialty?



Then PI, Trey Sean Cameron, who is secretly investigating her lifestyle, explodes into her life. The ex-Army Special Forces operative raises emotions Kayla can neither control nor contain. Can Trey — a demanding and possessive lover — ever share in her lifestyle? If not, how far will she go to keep him?






Pretending to be a reporter getting
the inside scoop on Dr. Kayla Saradon’s life was turning out to be very
enjoyable for Trey. They had finished the meal. Kayla declined dessert, so Trey
ordered coffees, reluctant for their time together to end and sure it would
when they left the restaurant.
They had settled into a silence
that Trey was unsure how to break. He was thankful when Kayla took the
initiative.
“Why don’t we continue the
interview in your room, Devon? We could talk more privately there.”
He was both surprised and pleased as
he met those extraordinary green eyes.
“That would be perfect. I would
have suggested that, but I didn’t know what you would think. I wouldn’t want to
compromise your—ah—reputation.”
Kayla laughed. “I don’t care what people say, Devon. I deal
in truths, not innuendoes or rumors, and I have no patience with those who
cater to that kind of subtle slander.”
Damn,
she’s a woman after my own heart
! “Good to know.”
He paid the check and they left the
dining area. Kayla excused herself briefly in the lobby, walking away to make a
quick phone call before rejoining him at the elevator.
Once in his room, Kayla immediately
kicked off her shoes. She curled comfortably on the two-seater couch while Trey
watched in utter fascination.
“Now, why don't you sit down beside me and get comfortable,
as well, and let’s really talk,” she suggested, patting the place next to her.
Trey sat down but was far from
feeling comfortable. Having her this close, he couldn’t help but visualize her
on the bed, naked and inviting. He hoped his thoughts, growing warmer by the
minute as he inhaled her enticing flowery perfume, wouldn’t become an
embarrassment he couldn’t hide.
“I take it you had the proverbial
perfect childhood, Kayla. All the luxuries, the right schools and so forth?”
“It wasn’t perfect by any means.
But yes, I did have the opportunity for the best education. So it was probably
better than a lot of others. My parents expected me to do well in school, and I
did because I didn’t want to disappoint them. And actually I always strove for
academic perfection for my own sake, as well, because I wanted to accomplish
things and knew the proper education was the way to do that.”
Trey inwardly flinched, remembering
those years when he had determinedly stayed in school, regardless of his hand-me-down
clothes and the way some of the kids made fun of him in his younger years and
then later, regardless of the times he had to go with his back and butt raw and
sore from a beating. He had, however, managed to live through it and get that
diploma that he, too, had felt was important, before he left to join the army.
“Tell me about your parents,” he
said, to cover up his own bitter memory flashes.     
“They were very socially conscious
and expected me to be ever aware of how my actions reflected on our good name.
If I could fault them for anything, it might be their overzealous desire for me
to walk a social-acceptance line. That’s hard to do when you really want to
‘run with the bulls,’ if you know what I mean. But I was a dutiful daughter.    
“I believe I read that they were
killed in a car accident.”     
“That’s right. Right after I
graduated from university. You know, Devon, I’ve noticed that you aren’t taking
notes. Do you have a photographic memory, by any chance?
Trey silently cursed his lack of
judgment and decided to add yet another lie to the pile. “Yes, I do.”     
“How interesting. We share that
trait and I know that, at times, it becomes a nuisance, doesn’t it?”     
Add to the pile! “So you are
blessed, or maybe I should say cursed, the same way? And yes, it does
sometimes.”     
“From experience I know that those
of us with photographic memories usually have total recall, yet in some
instances not. So, tell me, do you recall every detail of practically
everything said to you?”      
God, it’s getting deep. “Not
really. I’ve learned to block some things out, as I’m sure you have. But I
assure you I will recall your every word, Kayla,” he said it in a soft,
inviting tone that he hoped said more than just those words. He held her eyes
as he smiled. She returned the smile and for a minute, they didn’t speak. There
was no need for words. That electric current was vibrating between them
again.      Feeling drawn to her,
overwhelmed by her nearness, Trey leaned toward her, his eyes holding fast on
those inviting, luscious lips. Simultaneously, she leaned toward him and their
lips touched, lightly at first. Then he pulled her closer, deepening the kiss,
his tongue seeking hers, delving into her open and receptive mouth.
When their lips parted, he expected her to pull away, but
she didn’t. He stood, pulling her up, and melded her against his rock-hard
shaft wedged against her yielding body.    
“I know this is unprofessional, but
damn, Kayla, I want you.”     
“I can tell,” she said bluntly, her
green eyes alight with a mischievous gleam as her hand reached to touch him, to
fondle and explore his turgid length.     
“My heavens, you’re impressive.”
she chuckled.     
“God! You know what you’re doing to
me? But since I’m not sure what I’m doing to you, I guess the ball is in your
hands,” he said as he kissed her again, hungrily and imploringly.     
Trey could feel her trembling, with
what he hoped was desire as they parted.     
“You could write a very revealing story about me if I gave in to what I
really wanted to do right now. You don’t write exposés, do you, Devon?”     
“Story be damned! This is a private
time, between the two of us and nobody else,” he assured her.     
“So what happens from here on is
off the record?”
“Absolutely.”

Title: For by Grace
Author: Adrian J. Smith
Genre: Crime/ Mystery/ FF
Publication Date: June 1, 2014




Being a Sheriff’s Deputy is not all about saving lives and arresting criminals, and each day Grace wonders if she’ll make it home.

While kids at the schools Deputy Grace Halling visits see her as the knight in blue-cotton armor, people involved in the cases she is dispatched to have a different opinion. She has every confidence in her ability to do her job and arrest criminals. She easily takes down a knife-wielding woman and a drunken combatant teenager without hesitation. Everyone—victim, suspect, or witness—has a story to tell or to lie about, and Grace is never perturbed by their tales.

That all changes when she looks down the barrel of a gun. She loses confidence in her ability as a deputy, she loses trust in herself and fellow officers, and she struggles to stay afloat as shift after shift passes. Grace cannot find her rhythm of being a deputy again. And when the Police Chaplain unexpectedly barges into her life, her personal and professional lives are flipped upside down. Grace struggles to find even ground, worrying that the next time she stares a murderer in the face will be the last.
