#ManCandyMonday Grady Sizemore

It’s that time of year when a young woman’s mind turns to thoughts of sexy men in tight baseball uniforms! LOL! Yes, it’s baseball season and my Mets are at .500. Hoping for that and more this year!

Today’s Man Candy is one of the boys of summer: Grady Sizemore. Grady started his MLB career for the Cleveland Indians, but was signed by the Phillies for the 2015 season. Grady is a three-time All-Star choice, has won two Golden Gloves, and a Silver Slugger award.

What do you think? Isn’t he a cutie?

#ManCandyMonday Colin Firth

For my best friend who loves him! Colin is so attractive in an understated way. I loved him in WHAT A GIRL WANTS, LOVE, ACTUALLY and THE KING’S SPEECH. Totally awesome movies that are worth watching. Love his grin and the twinkle in his eyes!

To help us all find some new things, here are some freebie recipe books you may want to try out!

#TeaserTuesday SINFUL SEVEN STORIES: The Second Collection

I’ve been blessed and honored to be able to participate in a number of box sets with some amazing author friends. It’s been an awesome experience working with these ladies and getting to know them better.

My next box set release with friends (because my April 15 Jersey Girls Contemporary Romance Box Set is just me) is the SINFUL SEVEN STORIES: The Second Collection featuring the following stories:

    FIND ME IN DARKNESS by Julie Kenner
    A doomed woman. A dangerous and mysterious man. And an epic passion that cannot be denied…

    BOND WITH ME by Anne Marsh
    Fallen angel Brends Duranov offers Mischka Baran an unforgettable taste of sin and seduction when she visits his elite Moscow club, but she’s looking for her missing sister—and not an angel mate. But with a sadistic killer carving up his brethren, Brends is playing for keeps, hunting the one woman whose bloodline can end the mayhem, whose bond can restore his lost wings…and now he wants Mischka to bond with him.

    PLANET MAIL by Kate Pearce
    As far as job hazards go, Douglass Fraser didn’t think crash-landing on an alien planet and spending her recuperation being erotically pleasured by three gorgeous men was in the United Planetary Parcel Service’s courier handbook. There certainly wasn’t a section on what to do when a very sexy king wants you to have his baby and save his world.

    UNMASQUED by Colette Gale
    When not-as-proper-as-one-would-think Victorian woman Jane Clemons convinces her father to take her on a jungle expedition, her only goal is to find her lover, Jonathan, who disappeared three years earlier. But shortly after their party arrives in Madagascar, Jane finds herself enthralled not only by the freedom and beauty of the lush jungle, but a reclusive wild man who seems to be fascinated by her….

    CORPORATE AFFAIRS by Nana Malone
    Powerhouse project manager, Kyra Benson, loves her new job. If only her domineering boss wasn’t the bane of her existence & a boon to her fantasies. X2 Games CEO, Bryan Ross, has devoted his life to his company. The last thing he needs is to get sidetracked by a woman who thinks she knows more about his business than he does. Can the two adversaries negotiate a truce & find love?

    ONE LAST NIGHT by Caridad Pineiro
    An act of compassion leads to unexpected pleasure . . .
    Thrown together, Trevor and Maggie can’t ignore the sexual heat between them. As they satisfy one set of needs, another slowly develops as passion breathes life into other emotions. Will Trevor and Maggie’s one last night together possibly lead to many other nights in the future?

    WARLORD’S DESTINY by Delilah Devlin
    Mora has no illusions she’s anything other than the sacrificial lamb to ensure peace between her peace-loving planet and the warlike world that demands a royal union with one of their own. However, when she meets the rugged warlord who will be her husband, she decides in that moment to win his heart—she’ll settle for nothing less.

#ManCandyMonday The Heroes of the Take a Chance Series & Release Day

ONPRelease2

Thank you so so much for the wonderful reception you’ve given to the Take a Chance erotic military romance series. I am so pleased that you are enjoying these sexy and emotional stories! The next release in the series, ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, is available TODAY. I think you’ll love this story about Army Staff Sargent Bridget Sullivan and retired Navy Captain Mark Smith and a night that brings them both more than what they expected, but totally what they wanted.

Since today is Man Candy Monday, I’ve got a little video for you with all the sexy heroes of the Take a Chance series! Click here if you cannot see the Take a Chance Heroes Video.

A Little More About ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE

She wasn’t the kind of woman who wore fancy dresses or did one night
stands. . .

Bridget Sullivan preferred her Army uniform and work boots to elegant evening gowns. Getting all done up for some fancy Memorial Day gala wasn’t in her plans, but it’s hard to resist the thought of seeing handsome retired Navy Captain Mark Smith again. It also means spending time with the cadre of ex-military friends who have made her return to civilian life a little easier to handle. But when Mark presses for more, will she break her rigid rules for one sexy night?

The only thing he likes better than a woman in uniform is seeing her out of it . . .

Especially if it’s sexy Staff Sergeant Bridget Sullivan. Since meeting Bridget a month earlier, Mark Smith has been attracted to the gorgeous woman who seems intent on hiding her beauty and her courage. Bridget’s determination to make it in a usually male world, from her choice of the Army to her current construction job, intrigues Mark. When Bridget sheds her muddy jeans and sneakers for sexy high heels and a slit-to-there dress, Mark is more than willing to help her explore her new feminine side. But can one night of pleasure lead to more?

#FreebieFriday #Giveaway ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE

ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE erotic military romanceOMG, it’s Friday! Thank you! We had more snow yesterday. 7 plus inches of the white stuff and I am so done with it. I need warmth and sun and the beach! I’ve missed it all winter long since it’s just been either too cold or too snowy to go for a stroll along the boardwalk. I really need those to balance myself.

Since I can’t have one of those walks right now, how about a sexy book set along the Jersey Shore? ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE, my March 15 release and #5 in the Take a Chance series, is set in the southern part of the Jersey Shore, namely Atlantic City and Margate.

So what’s the giveaway on Freebie Friday? Be one of the first 30 people who leave the comment I WANT ONE on this post and I’ll send you an ARC of ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE. If you can, please leave a review and indicate that you received the book from the author in exchange for an honest review!

Now here is a little teaser for ONE NIGHT OF PLEASURE!
