HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY and welcome to the Saturday Spankings Book Blog Hop!

Memorial Day Teaser Excerpt:

“Are you okay?” he asked and gently smacked her on the back.
“I just swallowed liquid fire.” She took a deep breath which only made the burn worse. She started to cough. It felt like she was going to hack up a lung. Not that she could do much coughing with her ribcage bound within a tight corset. Her cleavage was about to break free from the neckline with his thumping her on the shoulder. When Brandon’s eyes raked over her chest she swore she could feel his heated gaze blister her skin. She chanced a glance down her front. OMFG!
The top of her nipples peeked over the edge of the dress. He was only inches from her and unless he’d gone blind in the last two seconds, he must’ve gotten an eyeful. She flashed a glance up to his face and affirmative.
Awful just got worse.
“Mia. Christ.” His gaze was glued to her boobs. His nostrils flared as he stepped in front of her, and planted his hands on either side of her on the bar.
She didn’t know if he was doing this to help shield her, but she felt caged within his sculpted arms, especially when he refused to look away. She was so close to him, a few paltry inches and they’d kiss.
Mortified by her dress and her desire to lock her lips with him, she stuttered in a hoarse voice, “If you were a gentleman, you’d stop staring.”
“Sweetheart, I am where you’re concerned. You’re still seated and not tossed over my shoulder. Aren’t you? And let me tell you, I’m tempted. Sorely, Mia.” Lifting his eyes, he wasn’t grinning but wore a look of blatant ravenous lust. The hunger in his gaze was so hot, so fixed on her that she felt herself melt.
“In case you need a reminder, it would do you well to remember not to judge of book by the cover.”
Leaning incrementally closer, Brandon dipped his handsome face until he was eye level with her. “I thrive on honesty. You’re unforgettable, Mia. Maybe the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Loosen up. This a private bondage club not meat market. No one will paw you, I promise.”
“That isn’t helping.” Could the floor crack open and swallow her? Right now!


LEATHER AND LACE is FREE this Memorial Day weekend until May 31, 2016, so grab your copy.
Author Note:
This book and the series was lots of fun to write. It involved researching the job and duties of a mental health counselor, which Mia is studying to be in her quest to answer the thesis question as to why people are submissives. On a journey, she discovers the Art of Surrender with Brandon McLemore's help.

Love stories are two-sided, so there was also the side of Brandon as a rancher who's keenly adept at dealing with problematic horses. These books involve family members and the subtle dynamics of being part of a family-run business within a small town in Texas. Part of the Kindle Unlimited program, enjoy these love stories if you're a participant.

Series are a wonderful endeavor to write since as each story evolves, the lives of each character is featured as secondary characters or in cameo appearances. Brandon is a strong secondary character beginning in book #1 Tempted by Trouble. He has the best line, the one the tickles my funny bone in book #3 Badass is Back. Mia and Brandon appear in books 5, 6, and again in books 9 & 10.

If you have any questions, feel free to write.
Happy trails!

Healthy and Tasty Gluten-Free Veggie Smoothie

Friday, May 27, 2016

Gluten-free nutrition. Talk about eye opening. A new gestalt for gray cells and taste buds.

   Health is one of those factors that can't be overemphasized enough, yet consequently is ignored until it's too late. I guess I'm going with glib and a better late than never.



Anyway, instead of doing the green kelp-parsley-spinach A.M. drink, we're switching it up. With a boggle of produce recently snagged (that still remains after one wayward mom left for Miami), it's time to get out the Bullet. Not ammunition but a high-powered mixer. Small, compact and a true workhorse for the kitchen.

BADASS IS BACK
If an alpha male cowboy lights your fire, you’ve come to the right ranch.
This bad boy pulls out all the stops to prove love tastes sweeter the second time!



Smoke and mirrors. With a hundred years of ranching on the line, Stephen McLemore dove into his career as an explosives engineer. After achieving wealth, power, prestige, he’s ready to make his move. He walked away from love, but he never forgot the girl of his dreams.
At the time, Jillian Sinclair was 16, a hot mess, and hands-off. Eight years later, is it coincidence or a case of meticulous plotting that brings Jillian face-to-face with the boy who kissed her and left? It might not matter. She’s grown up, ticked-off, and prepared to settle a score.
In tandem, they’re flint and gasoline. Within a family crisis, Stephen and Jillian are powerless to fight their raw desire.
From a smolder, their intense attraction combusts. They can’t deny that love
tastes sweeter the second time. But life throws a curve ball into Stephen’s goals. Hollywood comes knocking on Jillian’s door with an offer to star in a reality dance TV show.
Be careful what you wish for…
There’s a very secret, private, and controlling side of the second eldest of the hardcore cattle ranching brothers from Evermore. How far will Stephen go?
The ultimate sacrifice cuts deep.
Jillian’s once in a lifetime opportunity might be this cowboy’s undoing.
A raw passionate, second chance love story
that explores the depth of forgiveness and sacrifice, loyalty and trust.
