Win a Three-Pack of Scorching Hot Books at the Candy Cane Kink Giveaway Hop!

Candy Cane Kink Blog Hop

Welcome to stop #50 of the Candy Cane Kink Giveaway Hop!

No doubt you're still in the thick of holiday shopping. While I always end up at the mall at least once, I tend to do a lot of my shopping online, and since I come from a family of book lovers, Amazon and B&N are always among my stops. And of course, I end up buying one or two things for myself (because shopping is HARD and I have the willpower of a gnat). 

If you're anything like me, you'll be adding a bunch of books to your shopping cart, so I'd like to suggest a few red-hot sexy reads that I discovered this year.

Romantic suspenseKristine Cayne (Deadly Vices series -- I've fallen in love with each of her sex-god heroes), Pamela Clare (I-Team series -- very appealing alpha males!) 
Paranormal romanceJ.R. Ward (okay, I discovered Ward before this year, but she's released new books in both the Black Dagger Brotherhood and Fallen Angels series -- super-sexy alpha vampires and angels) and Larissa Ione (both the Demonica and Lords of Deliverance series -- sex demons!!! What more do I need to say?). 
Historical romanceDelilah Marvelle (Scandal and Rumor series -- as Delilah says: "I don't write bodice rippers. I write trouser rippers. Get over it." These books are hot!!!)
Erotic romanceLorelei James (Rough Riders series -- oh, those cowboys!), Natasha Blackthorne (A Measured Risk--The Earl of Ruel is my Christian Grey), Nina Lane (The Erotic Dark -- much darker than Fifty Shades), Emma Holly (Billionaire Bad Boys Club -- don't you just love that title?), Megan Hart (Broken -- beautifully written *and* scorchingly hot), Summer Daniels (Summer's Journey: Collection One -- a woman's journey of sexual self-discovery following a divorce), Kristine Cayne (Under His Command -- so hot you'll get blisters!)
What are your favorite red-hot romances or romance authors?

Now that you've read my recommendations, are you wondering what kind of books I write? Of course you are! :)

My current romantic suspense series is called Blood and Honor and is set in Italy among the Calabrian Mafia. This gritty, sexy series chronicles the battles--both bloody and romantic--between two warring Mafia clans. Books 1 and 2 are available now. Here's a taste of Book 2: 


An Interpol agent playing a dangerous game. A Mafia princess desperate to escape. A man determined to exact retribution...

Nick Clarkston, a young Interpol agent, threatens to undo the fragile peace between the Lucchesi and Andretti families when he tries to take down the Mafia don father who abandoned him. He allies with his father's sworn enemy, a mobster both devious and ruthless. The mobster's alluring daughter helps Nick negotiate the murky criminal underworld, but he soon learns she's using him. Trapped, and with nowhere to turn, Nick makes a tragic mistake that plunges him further into danger.

Delfina Andretti appears to be the typical Mafia princess--but this princess wants out. Delfina dreams of being a fashion designer, and hooking up with Nick is her ticket out of an arranged marriage. Her feelings for Nick are genuine, but he's leery of her. Even worse, his heedless drive for justice threatens to get them both killed and to put everyone Delfina loves behind bars--unless she and Nick can forge a new future for their warring families.

Excerpt:

Nick turned the music up and caught Delfina’s eye. Was it just his imagination, or had she been admiring his bare arse? “Watching me, were you?” he asked, keeping his voice pitched low.

She blushed, roses staining her cheeks. His chest felt lighter than it had in weeks. “I’m not answering that.”

He strode over to her and leaned in, forcing her to sprawl back on the bed, caged within his arms. He placed his lips near her ear. “Your blush told me everything. Every single naughty thought you were having.”

Madonna,” she muttered and braced her hands against his chest. “You’re getting a swollen head.”

He darted his tongue out and ran it along the edge of her ear. “Most certainly.” He put a knee up on the bed and rubbed his hard aching cock along her thigh.

She laughed and pushed against him, but he didn’t budge. “Time to get undressed,” he whispered. Her hands went to the buttons that ran down the front of the silk blouse tucked into her skirt. She played with the top one. 

“Now?” she asked, her voice lilting and playful.

“Now.” He rumbled the word in her ear and she shivered. “Take it off. I want to see you. All of you.”
