Shameless Summer Giveaway ~~ Day 5

Pinned Image

Wouldn't you like to find HIM waiting for you when you hit the beach?? <BG>


Today's Shameless Summer Giveaway is from a fav author of mine ~
Lauren Dane!  This is a Erotic Romance ~ and she writes lush, sensual erotic romances that make me fall in love with her characters every time. 


Inside Out

WORTH THE WAIT
Ella Tipton is a survivor. In the wake of an attack that left her nearly dead, she’s spent each day putting her life back together. Once vibrant and outgoing, she’s needed to reclaim the best parts of who she was while retaining the hard won lessons. There hasn’t been room for any romantic entanglements, even if she were ready. Still, it didn’t mean she had to stop sneaking looks at Mister Tall, Dark and Tattooed himself.
Security professional Andrew Copeland isn’t quite sure when his jones for the lovely and decidedly skittish Ella developed. He’s known her for years, has watched her triumph over the pain she’d been dealt. Cope is no stranger to women, but he knows the nervous flush he gets every time he talks to her is different than any attraction he’s had in the past. Determined to get Ella to let him in, Andy does the one thing he can think of to get close: he offers her hands-on training in self-defense.
While Ella’s sure he’s just being nice, the prospect of being able to touch him and gain the tools to push away the last vestiges of her fear is more than she can resist. Soon enough, Cope shows Ella his feelings are far more than friendly and re-ignites something deep inside her. Before long desire and love turn them both inside out.


Erotic Romance  ~ do you read it?  Why or Why not?
Do you have 'go to' authors for your fix? 

Some of my fav authors for this are Lauren Dane and Maya Banks ~
got any suggestions??

  1. Love erotic romance. I have a few "go to" authors. Lexxie Couper, Mari Carr, Jess Dee, & Jayne Rylon.. There are more, but these are at the top of my list.

  2. Oooh, I love them, too ~~ I'm just starting on Jayne Rylon, actually. A friend told me I HAD to read her ~ Deam Machine!!!

  3. I agree with Lisa-Jayne Rylon (Powertools series) Mari Carr (Wild Irish), just about any Jess Dee book, same with Lexxie Couper and Rhian Cahill, Eden Bradley (her vamps), RG Alexander/Rachel Grace, Joely Sue Burkhart....I could go on but that would take all day, and several looks back to my reader for them all. Once you finish Dream Machine start on Jayne's Powertools series-Kate's Crew is the first in that series.

  4. I do like erotic romance but I have to space the books out in between others - there are a lot of authors I read - Lauren Dane, Maya Banks, Anya Bast, and Eden Bradley just to name a few. Thanks for the giveaway - and yes, I would love to find "him" at the beach waiting for me:)

  6. My go to erotic author is Lorelei James. Can't get enough of her Rough Riders series. I LOVE Lauren Dane's books. She can write one heck of a sex/love scene. :)

  12. Can you believe I never read Lauren Dane? I believe I have one of her books on my kindle but I just never got around reading it. I had won one of her books once in '09 but never received it (and the blog is not around anymore)

    As for erotic romance - I do read it from time to time but I cannot read it back to back.

    1. They're out there, girl ~ you just don't realize how steaming hot they are, lol. Some of these authors are pretty mainstream, but their books are so smokin' you could categorize them as erotic romance.

  21. I do love erotic romance!!! Some of my favorite authors are Cherise Sinclair, Kallypso Masters, Joely Sue Burkart, Eve Langlais, Vivian Arend, Miranda Baker, the Smutkeeters, the NNN, Heatwave authors, International Heat, so many great authors.

    Btw, Kallypso Masters is also a great KY author. If you like romances with hot BDSM you should check out her Rescue Me series (they must be read in order & the first one MASTERS AT ARMS is free at Amazon, All Romance, Smashwords, etc)
