Awesome review for "Dragons' Bond"

Tjackie said, “Dragon's Bond's theme and plot are both creative and inventive. I not only enjoyed meeting our main characters, but the introduction of characters who could possibly be featured in future books makes one yearn for future books in this series.”
Thank you Tjackie!!

One woman, two men, a dream holiday in China

Blurb, "Twice the Love"

Cherry McNair gives up her life in America to live with Harry and Lee in China. She has been invited to come and live in Beijing with Song Hao (Harry) and Li Chang (Lee), two of the one hundred million young men for whom there are no brides available in China. Will she regret her decision or find happiness as well as great orgasms?
The men are kind and caring, and at first Cherry is happy, learning to cook for them and settle into her new life. And the sex is fantastic, innovative, fulfilling. But one day she realizes she has no job, no hobbies, and no friends. She knows only a few words of Mandarin and the traffic frightens her. Should she return home or stay?

STORY Excerpt

Cherry McNair shook her shoulder-length dark brown hair off her face and pushed her luggage trolley out of the customs area and into the arrivals hall at the Beijing Capital International Airport, ready to start her new life. Well, sort of ready.
I’m almost thirty years old. All my remaining possessions are in two suitcases. I’ve quit my job, left my country and my friends, and am about to start a whole new life in a new land where I don’t even speak the language, and be the “wife” of two men. Well, it’s what women have been doing for centuries, after all. Although they probably didn’t have two husbands.
Lee and Harry had promised to meet her, and they’d all exchanged plenty of photographs in their emails. But she was still feeling rather dazed after the long flight, and the huge size of the airport, and she worried about recognizing them in such a large crowd. They’re part-American, part-Chinese, but to me they look quite Chinese. Will they look like their photos? Lee’s hair, sort of shaggy and a little bit longer, Harry’s skin a slightly darker brown?
Sheesh. I thought LAX was big, but having to catch a train to get to your luggage? Sheesh.
Nevertheless, the crowd was very well behaved. People were talking and laughing, but they were standing in neat lines, waiting politely for others to pass. There was no pushing or shoving or screaming as there had been back at LAX. I’ve never travelled so far before, through so many time zones. It’s all so very big. But I like it. It’s friendly and welcoming and totally fascinating.
Lots of people were holding up signs with names on them.
And there they were, Lee and Harry, Lee holding a sign saying “Cherry” and Harry holding a bunch of bright yellow sunflowers.
Cherry pushed her trolley down the aisle then into the arrivals hall proper, and stood to the side as Li Chang and Song Hao made their way through the crowds to meet her.
Both men bowed slightly then broke into smiles.
“Welcome to Beijing, Cherry,” said Harry.
“I hope your journey was not too tiring,” added Lee.
“The flight was smooth. I made all my connections without any worries. Everything went well. Thank you for coming to meet me,” replied Cherry, rather disjointedly.
Harry handed her the flowers, bowing slightly again, as Lee took charge of her trolley.
They’re lovely flowers. How sweet of them to have brought them for me. It’s a really special gesture. So welcoming.
“Come this way. I’ll go and get the car while Harry waits with you and the luggage.”
Cherry nodded, trying to pull herself out of her daze as her blue-gray eyes looked around at the spectacular building, filled with light from its high glass walls, with lots of interesting metal shapes in the structure and huge artworks dotted around the floor space. And flowers. Lots of flowers, and plants in planter boxes.
“I can’t believe how big the airport is. I’ve never seen so many flowers inside. And thank you for the sunflowers, too. They’re so pretty.”
“Third largest building in the world by area,” said Lee. “That two-minute train trip to get your luggage took you two kilometers.”
“More than a mile,” nodded Cherry, too tired to do the math accurately.
“One and one quarter miles,” said Lee helpfully.
Lee effortlessly pushed the luggage trolley loaded with her two large suitcases and her wheeled carry-on, up a long slope to the exit. Cherry carried her purse and her flowers. They turned to the right where there were vehicle loading bays and Harry took charge of the trolley as Lee jogged off to retrieve their car.
“Please, sit down,” said Harry, gesturing to one of the benches. “Are you very tired from travelling?”
“I’m fine standing. I’ve been sitting for way too long. It was two hours to LA, twelve to Tokyo then a little over four to here. But it’s the jet lag I think that’s confusing me. My stomach tells me one time, while the clock is saying something quite different.”
“We’re sixteen hours ahead of Los Angeles, so that’s quite a big change.”
“And at home we were ahead of LA, and Tokyo is ahead of here so it’s all very confusing,” sighed Cherry. “But I’m glad to be here. And this is a stunning building. All the amazing shapes in the structure. I’m really looking forward to seeing some of the other places you built for the Olympic Games, like the Bird’s Nest Stadium, too.”
“It’ll be our pleasure to take you to see whatever you wish. And we’ll show you Big Underwear too. That’s what we call the CCTV headquarters building. It is not quite such a visual success as the National Stadium, the world’s largest steel structure,” Harry replied, calling the Bird’s Nest by its official name.
Just then several cars pulled up and people began loading their luggage, and right behind them was Lee in his and Harry’s car.
Cherry sat wide-eyed in the backseat of the car trying to absorb the atmosphere of Beijing, her new home.

Like shapeshifting dragons? "Dragons' Bond" is out today!

“Dragon’s Bond”: Blurb
Mallory is fascinated by three life-size stone dragon statues. Then one night they come to life and she learns they’re shape-shifters. One of the museum’s directors, Teivel, plans to use the shape-shifting dragons as art thieves by placing them in exhibitions in other museums, and Mallory, Angus, William, and Mark now have to find out which statues are shape-shifters and how they can prevent Teivel from implementing his plan. That makes their days very busy, but the nights are for their own pleasure.
Can they outwit Teivel? What will happen if Mallory loses her job or the statues have to leave their home in the museum? And can a relationship built on a crisis and unbridled lust develop into lasting love and enduring passion?

Story excerpt

Mallory kicked off her flip-flops, shrugged out of her robe, and slid into the water, leaning back against the side of the hot tub, letting her hair float out behind her. She placed her arms up on the ledge, so her body automatically rose off the bench, and stretched her legs out so her toes just balanced on the far side of the tub. Then, totally relaxed, she lay there, loving the heat of the water and the gentle movement of it in time with her heartbeat and occasional puffs of wind. Her eyes closed, she remembered William’s cock, and Angus’s, and Mark’s. They were very life-like, and life-size as well—bigger than life-size!
It had been way too long since she’d been in a relationship. She hadn’t had sex in six months at least, and she was a hot-blooded woman who enjoyed sex. All kinds of sex—oral, vaginal, and anal, and sometimes a little bit of kink. She wouldn’t even mind trying a ménage. Her friend Janie had been with two men and had talked nonstop about it for weeks, so it would definitely be worth experiencing.
“Sure, Mallory. Where will you find one man to pleasure you, much less two?” she jeered at herself.
“How about three men? We’d most certainly like to pleasure you.”
“What!” Mallory sat up so fast, her head bobbed under the water in the tidal wave she caused, and she came up spluttering.
Standing around the tub were three men—three very large, very delicious, very naked men.
“Holy shit!”
“Don’t you recognize us?” asked a soft voice.
Mallory found herself staring straight at a cock. It was a large cock, with fine lines along the shaft, and the head just peeking out of the foreskin. Hurriedly she looked at the other two men. All were uncircumcised.
Okay, I’ve gone crazy. Working alone has obviously been too much for my psyche, and I’ve lost the plot totally. I’m imagining the statues have come to life. Not only that, but they’ve come to life as men, not dragons.
“Come on, Mallory. It’s not hard. You already know who we are,” said the first voice. Mallory dragged her gaze up from the three penises to the eyes of the man who had spoken. They were bright green. Green like Connemara marble. And the voice even had the faintest hint of Ireland in it, too.
Quickly she looked from one to the other. And she did know. The man with the soft voice, pale skin, and light blue eyes was William. The man with the faint Irish accent and bright green eyes was Angus. And Mark had black hair and gray eyes. With a shaking hand, she pointed. “William. Angus. Mark. I think I need to see a therapist right now.”
“But I thought you wanted to fuck. We really like the idea of fucking you.” That was Mark.
“And we promise you several orgasms. Good orgasms, earth-shaking orgasms.” That was William.
Oh hell. Any kind of orgasm would be wonderful. Three naked men. Three huge cocks. She may be totally out of her mind, but saying no, telling them to go away, was not an option. “Okay. I’d like that,” she said.
Before she could catch her breath, two sturdy arms swooped down and lifted her out of the water, another pair of arms wrapped her in her robe, her flip-flops were handed to her, and she was being carried, very fast, through the garden.

A Promising Virgin out today!

The final book in the "Virgins No More" series, "A Promising Virgin" is out today!

Blurb: "A Promising Virgin"

Zethan, Earl of Mitcham, decides, after careful thought, that the stunningly beautiful Miss Sapphira Arnott will make him the perfect wife. It’s only when she declines his oh-so-flattering offer, that he realizes how rude and arrogant he’d been to her and her brother, and how much he loves her. The only solution is to woo her properly.
Meanwhile Simeon Arnott is in love with Miss Anne Smith. But she’s incredibly rich and he’s a mere Baronet. Fortunately her brother and she herself accept his proposal and they have an extremely successful wedding night. Their ball, however, is almost less than successful thanks to the “help” of the three youngest Arnotts and their plans to go one better than a recent much-talked-about society event.
The Season is almost over. Can Zethan win his lady’s trust?

STORY EXCERPT
The earl was standing at the window, his back to her. He was a very good-looking man—tall, with broad shoulders, and muscled arms and legs. She knew he rode well and played all sorts of manly pursuits. And, of course, he was rich and titled. Simeon was right. She wouldn’t get a better offer than this one from him. And she did like him. She enjoyed his company. He was always a considerate dance partner and his conversation was intelligent and witty. Her heart always beat faster when he held her in his arms for a waltz. She’d known herself very jealous of other women if he danced the waltz with them. Did that mean she loved him? She looked at his taut ass in his tight breeches. His body looked mighty fine and being older than her he’d know well how to please a woman. Her belly clenched at the thought of a man’s hands in all her secret places. She rather thought she’d enjoy the marriage bed. Especially with a well-built, good-looking man like Mitcham.
“Have you finished looking at me, Sapphira? Shall we have the wedding one month from today? In the cathedral of course. No other church will be big enough for all the guests I’ll need to invite.”
Sapphira took a step back in surprise. “You haven’t asked me yet.”
Mitcham stared at her then came closer and took her hands in his. “Dear Miss Arnott, please accept my offer to unite my house with yours in holy matrimony.”
“Do you care for me at all?” she asked hesitantly.
“You’re beautiful. Your wealth and lineage are adequate. You suit me well enough. I’ve never proposed to anyone before, if that’s what you mean. Now, I’ll send my man of affairs to the Bank of England to my lockbox to retrieve the diamond and ruby ring. You can go to Rundell and Bridge tomorrow so they can alter it to fit your finger properly. Then—”
She pulled her hands out of his grasp. “But you don’t care for me as a person. I’d always hoped to marry a man who cared for me at least a little.”
“Of course I care for you. I’m about to spend a monkey altering a family heirloom ring to fit your finger.”
“That’s not what I mean. My mama and papa loved and respected each other. They had a happy marriage. Georgina and Barnabas have found happiness together. They too love each other. I want to marry a man I can love and who loves me in return.”
“Love is for peasants, not for people of our class. You can love our son when he’s born. I will provide you with everything you can possibly need.”
“No. No you can’t. Because what I need is to be loved. I’m sorry, my lord, but I cannot accept your very flattering offer.” Sapphira turned and ran out of the room.
