My Favorite Kids!
Hi everyone! I’m so delighted to be here today and thankful
to Michael for inviting me on this special occasion! BUT, asking an author to
talk about her favorite book is worse that telling a parent to brag about their
favorite child. After all, we usually have more books! So I ‘m taking the
coward’s way out and I’ll share some things I particularly like in a few of my
books.
I know Sharita loves The Scientist and the Supermodel and
I agree! *Michael and Shar nod* Mostly, because I got to spend so much time with, I believe, one of my
best heroes -- the supermodel, Roan Black. Roan is described as “the most
beautiful man in the world”, but he is also gentle, kind and surprisingly wise
for one so young. Roan appears in four of my books -- The Scientist and the Supermodel,
Genetic Attraction, Deceptive Attraction,
and he plays a fairly significant role in Genetic Celebrity that came out the
end of July.
I also adore Golden Dancer. When people ask me
which book I’m most proud of, Golden Dancer often comes to mind.
It was my first romantic suspense, but what I particularly like is the complex,
multi-layered relationship between the three unlikely lovers -- Mac, the
investigative reporter, Daniel, the billionaire art collector, and the amazing
ballet dancer, Trelain. This book was voted best ménage of 2011 by the MM
Romance group on Goodreads.
And I can’t forget Fire Balls -- my bestselling book
and a high concept story that resonates with a lot of people. Fire
Balls is a contemporary MM story that is loosely based on the trope of
Cyrano de Bergerac -- the man who thinks he’s not worthy of his beloved and
tries to fix him up with another.
And I must confess that one of my favorite books is one
about to come out -- Snow Balls. Snow Balls is the story
of a young man who looks like a big, handsome, football player but is actually
a cream puff. He tries to be happy about who he is until he meets a tough cop
who he wants so much to impress. He pretends to be the alpha male he thinks the
cop wants. This book comes out on
December 7th and I’m excited!
Would you like to win your own Balls Book? Just leave me a comment with your email
and you can have your choice of Volley Balls, Fire Balls, or Beach
Balls! (If you’ve read them all, we’ll work something out!) Thanks so much for coming to say hi and thank
you again to Michael for having me!
Big,
handsome and hunky, JJ LaRousse looks like an alpha male but acts like an
interior decorator. And he’s trying to be happy about it -- until a robbery at
the famous Laguna Winter Fantasy brings JJ face-to-face with tough cop, Ryan
Star. JJ hears Ryan likes guys who are manly men, so he drops his voice an
octave, colors over his pink hair, and tries to pass as a football fan. Ryan
Star may be tough but he hides in the closet at work since he learned in New
York that being a gay cop can cost you your life. His attraction to that big,
handsome kid threatens his anonymity, but he can’t seem to resist. JJ is just
his type. But then JJ goes skiing and comes face to face with his greatest
nemesis-- and all the secrets come out of the closet. Can Ryan love JJ for who
he really is? More important, can JJ?
They were traveling at a good speed when
Ryan pulled over to the second to the right lane. Odd for the speed demon. Ryan
looked at JJ and then brought his hand across the console, found JJ’s zipper
and, in one pull, had the whole thing down. Holy…before JJ could catch his
breath, Ryan had dug into his fly, loosed the beast from its underwear cage,
and was pumping JJ’s cock like he was giving it CPR. And he was, baby, because
that hand could save a man’s life.
“Holy crap!” JJ threw his head back
against the seat and tried to breathe. Hard and steady, the pumping action shot
juice into his balls and straight up JJ’s spine.
Ryan chuckled and whispered in his
growly voice, “You like that, big guy? Sometimes you just have to be creative
to get what you want.”
That tricky devil. Choosing the lane
where they could go slow and not have to deal with so much traffic. Of course,
trucks would get an eyeful, but what the hell? Oh God, it felt so good. But no
way was he getting all the goodies. JJ reached over an arm and unzipped Ryan.
The cop looked down with wide eyes. “You
figure I have driving control of steel?”
“I trust you.” He stuck a hand inside
and, holy moly… “You’re commando!”
“Yeah. I don’t like underwear much.”
“I’m not complaining.” JJ grabbed a
nice, thick penis. “You’re packin’ there, detective.”
“Always prepared—holy shit!”
JJ grinned. He had big, strong hands and
one was wrapped tight around Ryan’s rod. Stroke and stroke. The guy’s eyes
widened, but he kept staring at the road. JJ watched his own hand pumping
Ryan’s thick cock, then looked down into his lap where Ryan was starting a bonfire
with JJ’s wood. This had to be the sexiest thing he’d ever seen. Probably the
dumbest too, but right now he could care less. Driving down the freeway doing a
double jerk-off. The smell of sex filled the car and went straight to JJ’s
head. His hips danced under Ryan’s hand like they had their own mind.
Ryan made funny little noises. “Hunh,
hunh.” But he kept his eyes glued to the freeway like it was his path in life.
“Hunh, hunh.” His breath came faster and his hand in JJ’s lap pumped harder.
A big semi whizzed past in the right
hand lane and JJ looked up at the driver. But the guy didn’t turn his head.
Might have been fun if he had. Ryan’s hips pumped up just as much as his foot
on the gas would allow. JJ didn’t have any such restriction and he was bobbing
and weaving while lightning bolts of pleasure flashed through his cock with
every stroke of Ryan’s hand.
Ryan took his hand off JJ’s cock and
grabbed JJ’s pumping hand. “Hold on. Go slow or I’ll come and that could be
very bad for my driving record.”
“OK.” JJ barely got the words out
because Ryan’s hand was back on his cock.
“Just let me take care of you, big guy.
It’s fun for me.”
“I think it’s way more fun for me.”
