Sexy, funny, vivacious and romantic ....

Words I'd use to describe our featured author, the beautiful and talented Ann Wesley Hardin. When I first heard about Ann I went to her web site and laughed out out at what I read on her bio page. Now here's a gal with a sense of humor, I thought. I was intrigued. So I read her first book. And I was hooked.

If you haven't indulged in one of Ann's books... well what are you waiting for????

Ann's latest offering from Ellora's Cave is A Lick and a Promise. Come on, admit it, the title alone is titillating enough to make you rush to EC to buy a copy. And what you find inside the book is entertainment in its purest. Being one to keep it close to the vest and not give anything away, I'll tempt you with a little blurb:

And the Earthlings thought their sexual activity carried health risks...

Inappropriate lust for a sexy, recovering addict makes Dove Hansen wonder about her choices in men. Maybe she'll stick with her anonymous dream lover after all. He might not exist but at least he's sober and their ethereal couplings leave her panting. Still, she's gonna lose it if she doesn't get some with a human.

Mark Arianos isn't a junkie. He's a fugitive alien strung out on Earth air. In his world, sex is a capital crime and his uncontrollable passion for Dove could turn lethal. So their out-of-body trysts keep insanity at bay while he fulfills a critical mission.

But the longer Mark dallies with Dove, the deeper their attachment grows. Soon he must choose between betraying her or risking his civilization, and his life, to give her more than a lick and a promise.

Yummm :) Trust me, this book delivers. And if you can't trust me, then you KNOW you can trust Mrs. Giggles, who says" "... this story is too much fun for words and I have a wonderful time laughing so many times during this story. The characters are adorable, the secondary characters are wacky but fun rather than annoying, and the author manages to balance wacky humor and sensuality very well.

So, to keep you from having to open a new window as you think to yourself "I better go get this book!", here's a convenient link to all of Ann's books at Ellora's Cave. And pay a visit to Ann's website. It's a fun site, and this is one author you'll fall in love with.

Thanks for visiting with us, and thanks Ann, for being our featured author. We'll be looking forward to more exciting and sexy escapades!!
