Tempting Jupiter Fun Excerpt

News

To celebrate TJ’s official release date, here is a fun snippet for you!

Tempting Jupiter Excerpt:  good ideas 

Feeona shot him a look. “I am known to have good ideas on occasion.”

He pulled her into his arms and pressed her body up against his, meeting her eyes with fierce concentration. Slowly, he lowered his head and pressed his lips against hers, kissing her with small nips. His tongue slipped out to tease her lips open and he pushed into her mouth.

She kissed him back. Her senses were full of him. His scent. The heat of his body pressed all along hers. As slowly as he’d started he withdrew, leaving her bereft and glorious at the same time. Her heart beat strong and impatient. Her lips tingled. Heat from somewhere inside her pressed against her too tight skin.

Jupiter’s lips slowly stretched into a wide smile. “I have plenty of my own ideas right now. You can take the rest of the night off.”

Ideas? Oh yeah. They’d been talking about good ideas. She let her happiness escape on a laugh. She peeked around his shoulder to Seneca who was still sprawled on the cushions. “How about you? Do you have any good ideas we should consider?” It was her way to let him know she wanted him to join in the game they were playing.

Seneca raised his silver eyebrows. “I have ideas, but I’m content to follow Jupiter’s lead.”

She winked. “Me too. He is the biggest.”

“Pleasingly so, I’m sure.” Seneca’s gaze shifted to Jupiter’s ass in his form fitting training pants.

She shifted her attention to Jupiter’s well deserved smirk. He was big all over and she remembered just how good that had felt. “Can we go to bed now?”

“Demanding female,” Jupiter complained. Warmth coated the mock gruffness in his voice.

Seneca shifted across the cushions then stood. “I think she deserves a little indulgence.”

Jupiter lifted her up and guided her thighs to his hips. “I agree.” He pressed one more soft kiss to her lips then carried her up the steps.

Looking over his shoulder, she had a great view of Seneca flowing up the stairs behind them. Despite being all Dog, his body was part dancer, part cat. Grace and lazy confidence. Whatever had been in the way before, had been resolved.

Tonight she would have them both.

Happy hump day,

gladiatorFighting for love, honor, and freedom on the galaxy’s lawless outer rim…

When Earth space marine Harper Adams finds herself abducted by alien slavers off a space station, her life turns into a battle for survival. Dumped into an arena on a desert planet on the outer rim, she finds herself face to face with a big, tattooed alien gladiator…the champion of the Kor Magna Arena.

A former prince abandoned to the arena as a teen, Raiden Tiago has long ago earned his freedom. Now he rules the arena, but he doesn’t fight for the glory, but instead for his own dark purpose–revenge against the Thraxian aliens who destroyed his planet. Then his existence is rocked by one small, fierce female fighter from an unknown planet called Earth.

Harper is determined to find a way home, but when she spots her best friend in the arena–a slave of the evil Thraxian aliens–she’ll do anything to save her friend…even join forces with the tough alpha male who sets her body on fire. But as Harper and Raiden step foot onto the blood-soaked sands of the arena, Harper worries that Raiden has his own dangerous agenda…

Note to readers: This sci fi romance contains a lot of action (think wild gladiatorial fights and daring rescues), tough gladiators (the warriors of the House of Galen) and a steamy romance (between a fierce space marine and a gritty alpha male gladiator). So if you like it fast, and gritty, and sexy, this is for you!

 

SFR Quarterly Steampunk Edition

News

The second issue of the SciFi Romance Quarterly magazine is now available. This issue was a themed issue focused on Steampunk. This is one area of SciFi Romance that I’m not very knowledgeable about. So, I turned to the authors of the genre for help for my Charlee’s ScopeBox column. I had a great time getting in touch with the authors and I hope the column turned out well enough!

This issue also includes all the SciFi Romance Releases for January, February, and March. Lots of great books available in SFR now.

The Second Annual Galaxy Awards

News

Last year I was thrilled to join with other SFR bloggers to award the first annual SFR Galaxy Awards. We’ve done it again with six judges naming up to five books (and the occasional movie) to be recognized for their contribution to our favorite genre. It’s an honor and wonderfully tough job picking just a few books published in 2013 in this growing subgenre!

SFRGalaxyAwards_iconThis year’s picks will be posted throughout the day. My awards will be announced at 6PM to wrap up the event. Please comment, argue, agree, spread the word about this year’s awards. We want SFR and these talented authors to get all the buzz they deserve.

The SFR Galaxy Awards is an annual, multi-award event for science fiction romance books. Launched in 2012 by bloggers Laurie A. Green of Spacefreighters Lounge and Heather Massey of The Galaxy Express, the goal of this event is to honor a variety of standout stories.
