Divided Love - Favorite Book Of the Month!

A queen, a curse, and a captain of the royal guard whose hands are suddenly full of two sexy, spirited women.

When Reci, Queen of Cups, abdicates her underwater throne, she has no idea of the curse awaiting her. But when the curse hits, and she splits, Arthur, her captain, finds himself with two Recis to protect—and love.

For a man who has long suppressed his feelings for his sexy queen, being royally seduced by the lusty, sex-starved half of Reci is an irresistible temptation, the realization of every sexual fantasy he’s ever had about her. But Reci is more than a split personality—she’s now two people, and getting back to Cups becomes a priority before the split is permanent and the curse kills her.

Two women, one man. And a royal sister who will stop at nothing—even murder—to hold onto the throne she ripped from Reci’s fingers.

The race is on—to get Reci back together, and save the throne and the woman he loves before the sands run out.

Get ROPED and you'll be hooked for life

I'm taking about Ann Jacob's latest release from Ellora's Cave, Roped, the first in her Heart of the West series.

Can you say sizzling hot? Woo babies, this book delivers in spades!! I love the way Jared is brought back to life (s0 to speak) by the beautiful Ninia, rediscovering his dominant nature. Had me jumping in the pool so much I was almost a prune!!

If you haven't gotten your copy yet, GET IT ON and hurry over to Ellora's Cave. You'll be sooooo glad you did!

To tease you a little, here's a short blurb:

Roped:
Book 1 in the Heart of the West series

Returning from the war, his body wounded, his soul hurting, Jared faces a very different life. A sexual Dominant, doubts about his ability now to satisfy any submissive plague him.Until Ninia. The face of an angel and the body of a centerfold, she's about as unsubmissive as any woman he's known. A nurse in the Cheyenne VA hospital where Jared is sent, Ninia is tough, in control.

Until Jared catches her in an unguarded moment and see a vulnerable, softer side. It fires his blood with a need to find out more.

Accepting an invitation to a local dungeon, the sexual Dominant in Jared rears back to full potency when he sees Ninia, submissively awaiting his pleasure, his dominance. Now he knows what he wants. And he's about to prove to Ninia he's man enough to take it.

Wooooo hoooooo! I have to give up one secret. He's darn sure man enough. Oh yeah!!

I had a chance to chat with the talented and prolific author about this book and the others in the Heart of the West series. Here's what Ann had to say:

It's been a long time coming--EC contracted it back in early 2004 but I've just this summer finished Jared and Ninia's story. I'm as excited about these three siblings and their takes on Dominance and submission as I can remember having been since I started on my first book eons and eons ago!

The fabulous Syneca has created perfect covers for all three books: ROPED, HITCHED and LASSOED. Hopefully, if the muse stays sharp and my fingers don't freeze up on me, I'll finish HITCHED this month. It's about Jared's big brother, BDSM dungeon master Brad. and his favorite sub who wants nothing of a 24/7 master--even if it's the hottest Dom who's ever whispered sweet orders in her ear.

Next month I'll tackle LASSOED, where big sister Nancy rejoins the lifestyle after getting away from a cruel Dom-- this time as a Domme she's determined no one will ever hurt again. The rugged rancher she lassoes is willing to play the sub for her, but when she realizes his heart's not in the game she decides she can perform a Switch.

All this is set against the breathtaking backdrop of southern Wyoming, the rough, tough land the siblings all call home.

I'm hoping readers will enjoy these three emotionally charged stories of Dominance, submission, and the power of love for a lifetime.

Ann honey, you know this Hussy will be eager to read the next installment of this exciting series. And hey, take care of those fingers.

Ciana for The Hussies

A sexy fun Halloween Romance

What would Halloween be without a sexy hunk? And Eva's cover is more than that. But I can't tell you without giving it away. In EVA ST. CROIX's debut book, RORY'S REGRET, we get that and much more! Please welcome my friend, EVA, to the Blog. This story will have you laughing and crying over RORY'S REGRET, which debuts OCTOBER 5th. I can't wait!

To tease you like only a Hussy can tease, here's a litte blurb:
Halloween. A day for trick or treats and hauntings. For Dorian and Rory, it is a day to experience love and enjoy the pleasure of the flesh. They long for one another, waiting for the one day of the year they can touch each other again.

There is only one way that they can be together forever. Until then, they must repeat the day they died until a mortal sees them and helps them to the other side.

This Halloween a psychic reveals past horrors and Dorian is seen by a local girl. Rory, still unseen by a mortal, is filled with regret. Cruel events could cause her to be left behind while Dorian moves into the light. Will she be destined to spend eternity alone?

********************

So just who is this new talented writer? Well, she may be new to EC, but Eva St. Croix is the alter-ego of a popular romance writer. She lives in a tropical paradise where she spends her days lying by the pool drinking mint juleps while being fanned and fed grapes by adoring and gorgeous alpha males. If she were one of the characters in her book this would be so true. As it turns out she does live in a tropical paradise but instead of lying by the pool she's in it, the mint julep is bottled water, and the grapes are being thrown at her by adoring family members. And the fan? Not likely to happen unless she's doing the fanning.

Eva loves to put her characters in impossible situations while setting them emotionally on fire so they'll burn for each other with the slightest touch. Her plot lines are hot, spunky and intriguing - just what her characters beg for when they're not begging for each other. Eva adds suspense to keep her readers guessing and turning the pages.

You'll quite often find Eva with a book in her hand, an ebook on her reader, or a magazine shoved in her oversized purse. She loves to read but more than that she likes to watch people going about their daily activities or having conversations (she's been known to listen in a time or two) for plot ideas. People watching can reveal so much if you only take the time to notice the details.

Crafting a story is a natural ability to Eva. You'll often find her hatching out a plot on her laptop where the good guys have to come together to defeat impossible situations. The coming together is the very best part--hot, wild and wicked--so much so you'll be looking for a fan and mint julep of your own just to cool down.

******************

I caught up with EVA the other day in her whirlwind life and asked her a few questions I know you are all wanting to ask her.

Sally: So Eva can you tell us why you decided to start writing erotic romance?

EVA: I’ve always been an avid reader and writer. I wanted to branch off and diversify my work into erotic romance so that I could explore the closest relationship between a man and woman in a more intimate way.

Sally: You can't get any more intimate with a loving relationship than erotic romance. I definitely agree, fanning myself. Why this story? Where did you get the idea to write RORY'S REGRET?

EVA: I wanted to write a story for Halloween that showed how love lasts past death.

Sally: And you certainly did that with RORY'S REGRET! Ah.. can we ask... Oh yeah, a Hussy can always ask who influenced you the most?

EVA: Dear hubbie. ;-)

Sally: Okay, I should have seen I was walking right into that one.(g) Now it's payback time. What is Eva’s naughty secret?

EVA: Now if I tell it won’t be a secret anymore will it?

Sally: Don't think this Hussy is going to give up and accept an answer like that. There is blackmail you know...

EVA: Okay. Okay. Whispering.

Sally: Oh dear! I can't put that on a pubic forum... On to the next question. (Clearing throat) Everyone has special foods and places they enjoy for romantic interludes. Tell us yours.

EVA: Honey and a moonlit forest.

Sally:Oh yeah, I'm getting a visual here. Before we end the interview, Eva, what do you want readers to know about your writing?

EVA: That it comes from the heart.

Sally: And, what do you want them to take away from reading your books?

EVA: I want them to think about my characters long after they’ve put the book down. If I can accomplish that then I’ve done service to my readers.

Sally: What can readers expect from you in the future?

EVA: My next erotic romance will be Phillip and Valerie’s story, the secondary couple in Rory’s Regret.


I can't wait for the second book in the series! And to tease you, hussies fruther, here's a short excerpt from RORY'S REGRET and to buy her book on Oct 5th, just visit Ellora's Cave
