Through the Fire
Author: Liz Andrews
Genre: Multicultural Erotic Contemporary

Baldwin Garrett for all intents and purposes should consider himself a lucky man. After surviving a tour in Iraq he was finally home. But instead he’s riddled with guilt and despair. As a young man he spurned his parent’s wealth, looking down on their power and influence. Now as an injured Vet he readily accepted their help to get the best possible medical care available. An option that wasn’t available to his fellow comrades in arms. His guilt has overpowered him to the point he’s pushing everyone away.

Kena Rutherford was hired by Baldwin’s mother to open his house. She unwisely decides to take a skinny dip in the pool, only to be discovered by him due to his early arrival home. Although he’s a bit surly, she’s intrigued by this man who seemingly has everything, but is despondent about his life. She doesn't let their boss/employee relationship get in the way of her speaking her mind.

Baldwin finds Kena’s sassy disposition and sharp words fire his desire like no other woman he’s ever met. Can she pull him through the fire of his despair and make him see how blessed he truly is?

Body and Soul
(Loosely Connected to the Redemption Series)
Author: Liz Andrews
Genre: Multicultural Polyamorous Erotic Contemporary
Length: Novel

Not everyone wants to be well liked, especially not Nichelle Turner. She’s rather fond of her less than personably persona the small-minded folks of River Bend see. It allows her to fall under their radar and be as naughty as she wants to be with bad boy turned good guy, Terrance Walker.

Terrance always had a special place in his heart for Nichelle. Her fiery temper turns him on as much as her sexy little body, but he’s not the only one who’s drawn to her. When Terrance’s ex-partner, Alejandro Ortez, arrives in town, the adventurous duo soon discovers two’s company but three’s a whole lot of fun.

Things are never as good as they seem. And no one knows better than Alejandro. He just can’t understand how the two of them can be so open and willing to include him in their relationship. Although he enjoys sharing Nichelle with Terrance, he doesn’t believe a relationship like their’s can last. Despite what they say, he’s determined to leave, before he loses his best friend, or his heart.

He’s willing to give his body but not his soul. Unfortunately, Nichelle wants it all. And what Nichelle wants … she gets …

Seven Minutes in Heaven - Lena Matthews

 


Seven Minutes in Heaven
Book One in the Naughty Games series
Lena Matthews
Publisher: Ellora's Cave

In honor of her friend’s birthday, Bev Navarro does something she swore never to do again, enter Holden Lancaster’s home. At one time the two had been part of a close-knit group of friends, but that all changed thanks to one game of Seven Minutes in Heaven.

Holden can’t understand why Bev is avoiding him. He can only hope tonight’s festivities will give them the time needed to mend old wounds. But one look at her face tells him he’s in for a night of disappointments.

The birthday surprise is on them though, because they’re receiving a gift neither will ever forgot. The stopwatch is going, and the only question is, will they make the same mistake the second time around?

APPEARANCES

I finally registered for the Romantic Times Booklovers Convention so it is official, I’m going to Pittsburgh, April 16-20th.  If you have never attended I recommend you make every attempt to do so. It is a blast beyond compare.  If you can’t come to the entire event, but live in the area you should at least stop by for the Saturday Book Fair.  It is only $5 and you can see hundreds of authors.  Here is the website if you want to know more about it, http://guest.cvent.com/EVENTS/Info/Summary.aspx?e=9048bd41-a548-4c7a-8d9f-2704d2161681

I am also going to attend Book Expo America 2008 in Los Angeles, California, May 29th -June 1st.  I’ve never been to this event, but it’s close to Lena, so I’ll be sneaking in a trip to see her as well.

Finally, I’ve also registered for the Lori Foster Reader Writer Get Together in West Chester, Ohio, June 6 – 8th.  This will be my third year to attend and I love how intimate it is.  It is much smaller than RT and I love how much contact I have with the readers.  So, once again, I encourage you to attend if you can.  Here is a link to the information, http://lorifoster.com/community/readergettogthr.htm

EXCERPT

 

In case you haven’t had the chance to read it yet, here’s a little glimpse of Remy and Jace from Shadow of Moonlight.

 

An Excerpt From: SHADOW OF MOONLIGHT

The meeting couldn’t have ended any sooner as far as Jace was concerned. He stood in front of the elevator watching the numbers light up as they neared his floor. Every last person in Nico’s office was officially on his shit list, Remy included. There had never been a question in his mind about where her loyalties lay, but the fact she was willing to do anything, even something that could be to her detriment, was in-fucking-sane.

The more Jace thought about it, the more he realized Remy wasn’t just a pawn to whoever was behind the whole Cassandra thing, she was a pawn to everyone who wanted to use her for something. Including their “oh-so-fearless” leader.

Remy’s position in the Pack hadn’t changed since they slept together, but his had. He wasn’t just the Pack’s Rakshasa, he was also the man in love with the Venator, and Jace wasn’t just going to sit back and watch her get hurt.

The closer the elevator came to his floor, the better he felt. He had to get out of there before he said or did something he’d regret.

“You ever hear the saying about a watched pot?” Remy’s voice from behind him dashed away the little bit of peace he’d manage to acquire since leaving the meeting.

“Not now, Remy.”

“Still upset, I see.”

Jace refused to answer. The doors slid open and he stepped in and turned, facing the controls. He hoped his silence would speak for itself, but as usual, Remy wasn’t listening. She stepped in right beside him with an annoying little smile on her full, sexy lips.

He was so not in the mood for this shit.

“Did Nico send you to chase after me to make sure I don’t leave the grounds?” Jace pressed the button to the ground floor harder than necessary, but it felt damn good.

“I’m not Nico’s lapdog.”

“Since when?”

Remy moved until she was behind him, and leaning into his back, she reached around Jace and pressed the button to shut the doors. The feel of her body pressed against his back was almost enough to make him rethink his pissed-off position. Almost.

“I’m surprised at you, Remy.”

To Jace’s surprise Remy’s arms wrapped around his waist. “For?”

“I never thought you’d be the type to use your sexuality to get over on someone.”

Instead of getting upset as he thought she would, Remy laughed. “I’m amazed you think I’d think I would be able to. I’m not exactly all known for my girlish charms.”

“Then what are you doing?”

“Thanking you?” Remy nuzzled her head against his back.

“For…”

“Caring.”

“Fat lot of good it does me.”

“It means,” Remy’s arms tightened around him for a moment, “something to me.”

“Then how could you—” Jace turned in her embrace until he was facing her and pushed her back so he could look into her face. “Why do you take that bullshit from him? From any of them?”

“This job, as pointless as it may seem to you, means a lot to me. Nico and the rest of them are the only real family I have. I could never forgive myself if anything happened to any one of them when I was sitting at home being the good little girl, especially when I know I could have done something to prevent it.”

“They’re not the only people who care about you, Remy.”

The elevator dinged as they reached the ground floor. Remy stepped away from him just as the door opened. “I know it now.”

“So did you two get everything worked out?” Jace’s irritation returned twofold as he turned and to see Nico and the rest of the Elitario standing in the lobby. They must have taken the stairs and taken them quickly.

Damn interlopers.

“Just about.” Jace pressed the button to close the doors once more, much to Remy’s amusement.

“You know they can still hear us, right?”

“I’m going to pretend as if they can’t.” And just to make things a bit more interesting, Jace hit the emergency stop button, which set off an annoying alarm. “Now where were we?”

“I don’t remember.”

“Sure you don’t.” Liar.

Remy shrugged her shoulders and smiled. Jace didn’t doubt for a second she remembered exactly where they’d left off, but like him, Remy realized everyone in the lobby would be able to hear them, despite the alarm. She might have been ready to open up to him but not in front of her crew.

“I’ll make this easy for you. Tonight, after we both do Nico’s bidding, we take a step back and do things a bit proper.”

“Proper.” Remy looked amused at his turn of phrase. “And proper means what exactly?”

“I want to take you out.”

Remy raised her eyebrows as if the concept were totally foreign to her. “Out?”

“You know, a date. You put on a dress. I come to the door. We go out to dinner, maybe a little dancing. Then you take me home and let me have my wicked way with you.”

“I don’t do dresses.”

Jace shouted with laughter and he wasn’t the only one. He heard a few chuckles from behind the elevator door. “Of all the stuff I said, ‘I don’t do dresses’ is your only response?”

“I don’t own a dress.”

“I suggest you go shopping then.” Jace turned back to the control panel and hit the emergency button once more. “And while you’re at it, why don’t you buy some thigh-high stockings?”

“Why don’t you stick your foot up your ass?” Now there was the Remy he adored.

“Because it wouldn’t be as sexy as seeing you in a dress, stockings and heels.” Jace waited until the door opened and Remy stepped forward before he slapped her on the ass. “I’ll pick you up at seven so you better be ready.”

Remy glanced over her shoulder at him and murmured, “You’re going to pay for that.”

“Promises, promises.” He was feeling better already.
