This is Book 1 of 2 in the “Pleasing the Manwhore” duology.

**NOTE TO READERS: For audiences who enjoy the Fifty Shades/alpha billionaire fantasy. This is M/f romance contains an age difference—a younger woman involved with a much OLDER, JEALOUS and CONTROLLING man. If you find elements of stalking, spankings, and submission/domination themes unappealing, then you will need to move on.

I wasn’t supposed to need him…

But I did.

I wasn’t supposed to crave the smell of his skin and require the very air he breathed…

But somehow I found I couldn’t breathe without him.

I was only supposed to provide physical pleasure and shove my emotions to the side, not allowing love a place into the equation.

He wasn’t supposed to own me. Heart, mind, body and soul. My God, I was such a fool to think I could go along with this arrangement and not involve my heart.

Synopsis:

Taffi Watkins only wanted to escape an abusive home when she fled a small Texas town. She had dreams of starting a new life. A better life.

Those big city lights seemed to shine so brightly when she stepped off that bus, but soon she discovered the pursuing of her dream had also been the worst mistake of her life.

And then came Sullivan Cooper.

In the blink of an eye he made all of her troubles disappear. He accepted her and brought her into his world of fast cars and fancy clothes. Immersed in Mr. Cooper’s universe of unbridled passion, Taffeta forgot he was twenty-five years older than her as he introduced her to his brand of pleasure and pain.

Taffi only thought she knew pain, until Sullivan Cooper taught her better.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Michele Shriver I’m a lawyer by day and an author by night. I love hockey, doing Zumba classes, and visiting craft breweries.

When and Why did you start to write?

I first caught the writing bug in sixth grade, when my teacher gave us an assignment to write the first chapter of a book. I wanted to write the whole book! I always loved writing stories, but got away from fiction writing for way too long because of school and work. It’s been about ten years since I got back into writing fiction, and six since I’ve been publishing. It’s a great escape, and I have stories in my head that are demanding to be told, so I keep writing.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

I don’t read for pleasure as much I’d like anymore because I’m always writing, but Susan Wiggs is always a favorite of mine, along with Kristin Hannah. I want to be able to write like her when I grow up!

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

Every day can bring a new surprise… and inspiration can come from anywhere. Things happen for a reason, though. If my muse gives me a new plot twist, or something that seems random, I run with it. I may not know why at the time, but there’s a reason I woke up at 3 am with that crazy new idea in my head.

What are you working on now?

Right now, I am working on a contemporary romance called Fade into Love, which is a spin-off of one of my other books, Finding Forever. I’m also working on book 9 in my Men of the Ice hockey series. This is Austin’s story, and it’s called Beating the Odds.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

Pantser. Hence being awakened at 3 am with crazy, random ideas!

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as “Charli,” she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

“Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox “Nox” Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

“Is it really cheating if you’re doing it to yourself?”

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha’d?

BETRAYAL is a full-length novel and the first of five in the INFIDELITY series.

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I FLove this series.  I love the back and forth through time aspect.  When I saw Callista was getting a book I was so happy.  This woman has lived through a lot and endured so much sadness.  I needed her to have a HEA for sure.  She is a super smart, sassy, feisty, AND a killer SPY helping  tracking down Napoleon…Kicka$$ female right!!  Her heart is broken and still bruised over the loss of her Edward but I have a feeling she will have a lot of fun with Zane…snickers……

Zane is from today and not loving life.  He has read the journals and he just KNOWS in his heart Callista will be coming to his time.  He is a smidge obsessed with her because of what he knows of her.  He also knows she will hold the cards to getting Trenton his love back.

The banter between the two is a riot.  Her telling him to stop being so “untoward” and him flirting shamelessly when dress shopping with her.  But I think they are a great fit for one another. She will challenge him every step of the way and he will help her fill in the gaps to her past.  I enjoyed their novel a lot but I gotta tell ya…Captain Jack is getting a book…EEEEP…I. CANT. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dawn Brower works as a substitute teacher and enjoys the flexibility it gives her to concentrate on her other endeavors.

Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby. While she loves all genres she focuses most of her writing on historical and contemporary romance.

There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.

Rachel Donahue’s dream job as a financial advisor makes her all work and no play.  In fact, her only luxury is her weekly visit to the spa.  But her regular masseuse is on leave due to a skiing accident and his stand in, a guy who goes by the moniker “Spike,” is off-the-charts hot, exuding the most irresistibly sexy vibes Rachel’s ever been drawn to—reminding her that she’s a woman with needs.  How the hell can she relax like she’s supposed to when he’ll be touching her bare flesh?

She can’t…and he knows it.

One thing leads to another and she experiences her first “happy ending” massage.  She’s horrified and embarrassed, and her only salvation is that he’s not her usual masseuse.  She decides she won’t go back to the spa until her regular guy returns.  Except the next day at work, Rachel’s last appointment of the morning is a new client, Sergio Romano…a guy whose career name happens to be Spike Steel.  And the temperature has only just begun to rise…

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

I-Che-Mama…this book!!!  Ok so if you haven’t read Finger Bang my first question is WHY!!  But anyway, we meet Rachel in there.  She is a riot and so I was super excited to read her surprise book from Jade.  Rachel is Blaze’s sister if you HAVE read Finger Bang.

SO Rachel is Miss Organized and On-Track-For-Success.  She is busy with her career to really notice men or give them the time of day.  When a fluke sends her scheduled life into chaos she is so confused at Spike/Sergio’s appearance into her life.

Sergio/Spike is stunned by Rachel’s intelligence and sexuality.  She is sweet but smart.  She is feisty but a soft gushy pile of goo with him.  He was excited to meet her but shocked when he met her the night before their business meeting.

This book is HAWT…I mean Fan yourself hawt from the first opening scene all the way through until the finale page.  The chemistry is OF THE CHARTS!!  I mean Jade writes steamy stuff but this might just be her steamiest yet!!!  I gotta say, I loved this serial but to be honest, I would have LOVED more from them because they have a great story line.  I loved the banter and I especially loved Rachel trying to deny their chemistry.

For years, Jade C. Jamison tried really hard to write what she thought was more “literary” fiction, but she found herself compelled to write what you read by her today–sometimes gritty, raw, realistic stories and other times humorous, light tales–but most of the stories she writes revolve around relationships and characters finding their way through life. While she doesn’t confine herself to just one genre, nor is there a nice neat label for what she writes, most of her work could be called erotic romance. Her main writing passions include rock star romance, romantic comedy, and romantic suspense.

She lives in Colorado with her husband and four children.

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

I’m Melanie Jayne and I write Romance featuring older characters because Love doesn’t stop at 35. I currently have 3 contemporary series: Cameron Farms with is small town based and a little more serious, The Change Series which has an element of suspense and is fast-moving, and The Casino Nights which is based in a Las Vegas Casino and is the hottest of my series.

I live on a grain farm in Central Indiana with my long-suffering hubby and two spoiled Mastiffs, Duncan Keith and Ginger. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up- I’d done Retail Management, Worked for a Federal Judge, done In Home Loan Closings, and been behind the scenes in a Casino. I have great stories but little passion for the positions.

I love to read, follow TMZ and adore trashy TV.

When and Why did you start to write?

I grew up telling stories. My paternal grandparents were writers so it was encouraged. In college I was told by an instructor that I had no talent so I stopped. I was 45 when a friend suggested that I try writing romance. I had some ideas so I sat down and tried to organize my thoughts. Then I started taking classes and reading books on writing. It took 5 years to publish my first book.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

Kit Rocha’s Beyond Series!!!! The world building is excellent. Obsessed– O’Kane for Life
Penny Reid- I’m love her Beard Series- I laugh out loud still anytime I hear the word sausage.
Damon Suede- I read Hot Head a while ago and I’m still in love with it
Kristen Ashley- I love the Queen’s Rock Chicks Series- I picture myself in the books
Skye Warren- She writes Dark and I love it
Shelly Laurenston- Shape shifters that are fun and hot
Patricia Briggs- Alpha and Omega Series. Best Werewolves Ever.

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

Compared to the entire business- putting the words down is one of the easiest parts. The Marketing, Publishing Schedules and Travel take up so much time. In mid-January, I am already planning for 2018.

What are you working on now?

You Always, book 2 in the Cameron Farms Trilogy will be out 1-26-17 so I’m doing last minute marketing. Best, book 3 in the Change Series is with the editor, and I’m writing book 3 in the Casino Nights series called Long Shot. Plus I’m packing for the Coastal Magic Convention in Daytona the first weekend of February and making hotel reservations for the summer signings.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

I’m a total Plotter. I have an outline with dialog, fashion, and music notations. I break down my writing based on the outline and instead of a word count, I use the scene breaks.

I’m not against changes coming- in my book Best, I had planned for Tye to fall in love with Holly but somehow Billie entered the scene and he fell in love with her instead. This change caused me extra work but I went where the story took me.

I have been working on an Urban Fantasy for years, currently the outline is 45 pages long. When and if I ever get the time (and the headspace) to write this dark series – I’ll be able to rock.
