12 Lords A'Leaping!

A holiday gift for you!

A blog hop featuring great prizes and medieval heroes because...medieval heroes!

UPDATED:
The winner of a copy of DEFIANT goes to MsAwesome!  Yay, and please email me so I can send you the ebook!  

I'm happy to be part of this blog hop because:

1. The prize is terrific and quite different from the usual--a calendar featuring different heroes from our medieval romances each month;
2. It forces me back to the blog to say hi to you, because, yes, I know, it's been awhile, and;
3. Medieval heroes!

The hero from my books who's featured in the hop (and the calendar!) is Jamie Lost from Defiant. 

Who remembers Jamie?? 

He's one of my favorite heroes, properly tortured in all the best ways. He's a ruthless, focused knight who serves King John and will do just about anything to just about anyone.  Not much bothers him, and nothing much gets in his way.  Until he meets the small, immovable object of Eva.

She thwarts him, upends him, and reduces his best laid plans to naught time and time again, until he finally simply hunts her down and ties her up to get her out of his way.  

But Eva knows more than she's letting on, and Jamie's smart enough to know it. 

Forced into an uneasy alliance, they join forces.  As civil war erupts around them, they embark on an epic journey that reveals no one is what they seem, and that everyone has something to hide.  Soon, their simmering passion erupts, leaving not only their fates, but the fate of England itself, in the balance. 

See?  She's perfect for him!

Check out Defiant, and all my other romances, at Amazon, Barnes and Noble, and all other booksellers!

Don't Buy My Books

Not today.

Today, I want you to buy fellow romance author Jackie Barbosa's books.  Late last week, Jackie lost her seventeen year old son in a car accident on the way to school.

I will never be able to comprehend the pain she and her and family are going through.  There's nothing I can say, nothing truly meaningful any of us can do when someone suffers this kind of shocking, tragic loss.  The best we can do is stand nearby, in spirit, and just be.

And this week especially, we can buy her books.

A whole herd of romance writers are banding together this week to spread the word about Jackie's wonderfully sexy books, and let you know that if you haven't tried them, now's a great time to check out this prolific writer.

Jackie writes scorching historical romance, urban fantasy, and erotic contemporary romance. You can find her books, with excerpts and links, here: http://www.jackiebarbosa.com/books/ 

A memorial fund has also been set up in her son’s name. Details to donate can be found here. Any and all donation amounts are greatly appreciated. 

Here are some of her hot sexy covers to get you excited about finding a new favorite author to love!

First Kiss(es)

Not mine.  Nope, it's 20 strangers who were asked to kiss for the first time on video.  The initial awkwardness is palpable.  So is some of the passion that follows.

I know I've neglected the blog horribly of late.  Consider this my peace offering.
 

Enjoy.  

Then go kiss someone you love.
