Favorite Reading Spot

One of my favorite memories of my mom is how important summer reading was to her. As soon as school finished, we would go to our local bookstore and stock up. Mom encouraged me to make a special reading spot I could go to escape into other worlds and adventures. She said it should be quiet where I couldn’t be bothered…ah…interrupted by anything or anyone. Her favorite spot was in a rocking chair under a tree in front of our cottage at the lake. She always had a TBR pile that would make any author proud.  To this day, Mom still reads A LOT and I have my favorite reading spot.

Well… when I’m not writing it is also my reading spot. When we built our log home in the woods, I designed our 8’x60’ porch to be an extension of our living space. We spend time on the porch in all weather watching birds, doing crafts, puzzles, games, eating socializing and of course reading (and writing).

Tables, chairs and décor came from scouring rummage sales. Hubby made the newest table from old deck wood. A few cushions and pillow add to comfort. My reading spot is not far from the grill master of the house. Sometimes the kids join me otherwise they keep their rambunctious activities in the yard.

I often see neighbors sitting on their porches or under a tree reading. Friends post photos on line of reading poolside while their kids are busy.

Do you have a favorite spot to escape to?  Where is your reading spot?

Where are they Now?

By Deanna Wadsworth

For those of you who love short stories, the 1Night Stand series is very popular. You get an exciting setting, two great lead characters, steamy sex and a HFN. But as with all HFNs, readers want to know what happens next! Well in my book, Bear it All, you meet young Travis who has a hankering for big, older, hairy guys. Cue John, the bear of Bear it All. Readers can get a sneak peek of their HEA in Wendy’ Burke’s The One He Chose, where we learn that Travis and John are living in Ann Arbor and building a house together.

But where are they now?

Well, as you may remember, Travis had just taken the bar and wanted to become a child advocate and John was teaching law at UofM. Travis passed, of course, and now he is a guardian ad litem at Washtenaw County Court office. He loves his job. John continues to teach, and spending his free time in the small vegetable garden he talked Travis into putting in their back yard. Travis prefers to go organic by shopping at Whole Foods, and makes sure John doesn’t get carried away with his garden and annoys their suburban neighbors or break any rules of the development rules.

Their house has become the place to watch the Ohio State vs Michigan game and every year the transplanted Buckeye, Travis goes all out to taunt John, even wearing full scarlet and grey to the Michigan hospitality tents with John’s coworkers. Last year Travis even bought a blow up Brutus and had him holding a decapitated wolverine in their front yard, which the neighborhood committee made him promptly take down due to a complaint from his own household. But it is all in good fun and John has big plans to best Travis in this game this fall.

Aside from an occasional, “Is this your son?” from a stranger, most of their friends and family barely notice their age gap anymore, and some of Travis’ friends refer to them as the old married couple, ‘Jonvis’.  

Still, the happy couple does feel a few things are missing in their lives. Since their home state of Michigan bans same sex marriage, they are taking a trip to Chicago this weekend to check out possible wedding venues. They haven’t told anyone their plans, but they are hoping for a late summer wedding, right before John starts his fall semester. And of course, a honeymoon at Castillo Resorts in Turks and Caicos where their romance began!

Once that little piece of paper shows the world what they have known in their hearts from their first night together, they are considering adoption. John insists he is too old for babies and Travis has always wanted to make a difference in a child’s life, give them the chance he never had. So they’re hoping to adopt an older boy, or perhaps siblings the system cannot find homes for.

Whether any children turn out to be Wolverines or Buckeyes is anybody’s guess, but one thing is for sure they will be growing up in a home full of laughter and love.

Bear it All—A 1 Night Stand Story

Travis hired 1Night Stand hoping for a hot encounter with a sexy older, hairy man, someone to make him feel safe and cherished, and John looks custom made to order.
After losing his partner three years ago, John needs to learn how to open his heart and live again. He thinks a one night stand in the Caribbean might be the answer, but when he sees the young, thin and much smaller Travis, he thinks the agency sent the wrong man.
Can desire overcome misunderstanding when these two bear it all? Or will both men walk away from exactly what they need and desire?

                                            

Deanna Wadsworth might be a bestselling erotica author, but she leads a pretty vanilla life in Ohio with her wonderful husband and a couple adorable cocker spaniels. She has been spinning tales and penning stories since childhood, and her first erotic novella was published in 2010. When she isn’t writing books or brainstorming with friends, you can find her making people gorgeous in a beauty salon. She loves music and dancing, and can often be seen hanging out on the sandbar in the muddy Maumee River or chilling with her hubby and a cocktail in their basement bar. In between all that fun, Deanna cherishes the quiet times when she can let her wildly active imagination have the full run of her mind. Her fascination with people and the interworkings of their relationships have always inspired her to write romance with spice and love without boundaries.

Life Lessons I Learned From My Kittens

Rascal the Mighty

by Olivia Starke

It’s summer time on my little farm, and this year we welcomed a few new little additions to our menagerie. They’re furry, feisty, and a whole lot of trouble, though definitely worth it. Kittens are balls of energy, ready to take on the world, and pretty much exist to love every second of being alive. While watching them play, I can’t help but appreciate the way every day is a grand adventure. Every second of being awake is an exploration and an opportunity to discover something new. It’s crazy how such little creatures not even two months old can remind someone of what being alive really is about. Here is the list I hope others can take to heart as well.

You don’t need fancy things to have fun! A leaf or piece of straw, and a bit of imagination, and you’ll have the time of your life.

Even if things are dark and rainy, live like it doesn’t matter! Even if things aren’t perfect, life goes on, and play on to spite it.

Never underestimate how wonderful it is to cuddle with those you love. You’ll appreciate the extra warmth and security it provides.

Be fascinated by the little things, even if you’ve seen them dozens of times. A shift in sunlight and its brand new, and worth a good inspection!

 If something scares you, puff up, and stalk toward it anyway. You may find bravery wins out against any adversary, including a ferocious clump of grass!

So this post is dedicated to my little wonders: Rascal, Rebel, Callie, Ramone, Pete, and precious Itty Bitty who, unfortunately, didn’t make it (though he lived every second with the biggest heart and belief that everything was AWESOME.)

Rescue Me

When Abigail Winter’s stepsister sets her up with 1Night Stand, she can’t deny she needs a night away from the constant worry. Her cat rescue A Purrfect Home is in danger of closing, and she’s nearly out of options. Her date, Carlita, is gorgeous with soft curves that leave Abigail hungry for a taste. A perfect and passionate distraction for the evening. 

Carlita Menedez is thrilled when she first lays eyes on her date, Abigail. Beautiful, and an animal lover, who more perfect for a former veterinarian? Her lithe form proves irresistible, and her kisses incredible. Their chemistry sizzles and when they come together, they find pure bliss in one another’s arms.

But disaster steals their night, and A Purrfect Home may already be lost. Will Carlita be the one person who can help Abigail save everything she’s worked so hard for?

Excerpt: 

Thunder boomed louder, jarring the windows, echoing her pounding heart. Carlita met her gaze and Abigail couldn’t resist reaching out and taking one of her ebony curls, letting the silken texture slip through her fingertips. The simple act did obscene things, a tight ache settled between her thighs. Abigail cupped the other woman’s cheek. “What do you think? Can two strangers like us have a passionate one night affair?”

Carlita’s tongue darted out, moistening her lips, her brown eyes smoldering. A tantalizing tease.

“I think it’s why we’re here, right?”

What an unsatisfying answer. She had to know for sure the other woman felt the same as she did. She stroked her thumb over Carlita’s bottom lip. “Do you want me?”

Carlita looked away and Abigail’s confidence faltered. What if the chemistry was one sided? God, it’d been years since she’d dated, and she’d never been good at reading body signals. To top it off, she was feeling pretty desperate; never a good thing while figuring someone else out. She took a deep breath, ready to back off. Carlita covered her hand with her own before she could pull away and moved the platter with the cheesecake to the nightstand.

“I want you to kiss me, Ab—”

Abigail moved before she could finish the sentence. Carlita’s lips were soft, yielding to the urgency of her kiss. She pulled her forward until Carlita straddled her thighs, the kiss deepening, their tongues meeting in foreplay. She tasted of chocolate, champagne, and desire, a delicious combination, and Abigail couldn’t get enough. Abigail stroked the smooth skin of her exposed back, feeling her muscles moving while Carlita worked the buttons on her blouse. When the other woman palmed Abigail’s breasts through her cotton bra, the heat within her bloodstream turned to liquid fire. She yanked the halter ties to Carlita’s dress, fumbling with the knot.

“Damn it.” The ties wouldn’t give. More than anything she wanted those incredible breasts free to bury her face between them. Live out one of the fantasies she’d been denied all night.

“Oh god, I’m sorry,” Carlita said as grabbed the ties, trying to help. “I didn’t want to fall out. I tightened it into a double knot.”

Abigail gave up and let her work the knot, taking advantage of having free hands.

La Isla del Encanto

Hopefully the Spanish title grabbed your attention and now you’re asking, what the hey? My release, Tropical Paradise, takes place in beautiful Puerto Rico, where the sun, sand, and the sea are in abundance.

As a Latina, the island paradise is near and dear to my heart. Beautiful men and women grace the island’s beaches everyday soaking up the sun and looking for love. So, I decided, what better place than this scrumptious back drop for my 1Night Stand?

Writing Tropical Paradise was fun as I mapped the island in my mind, knowing that I had been there or could pinpoint any of the places. The drive from the airport in San Juan towards the coast, the sun shining brightly and the radio blaring. Every word written was a memory come to life and fueled my desire to tell Leo and Skyler’s story.

What you may find ironic is that out of everyone in my family, I am the least beachy-heat person. My family laughs as they ask, what kind of Latina are you, since you hate the heat and sand? What can I say- I may be Latina hot and have a Latin temper, but the heat is not my friend! I think is another life I was Eskimo and not Latina.

I am my own oxymoron, but that’s what makes me unique and this Chica loves unique. So, how about a contest? Is there something that makes you an oxymoron or very unique? Like me, do you love snow to be measured in feet not inches while maintaining a Latin flair?

Leave a comment and don’t forget your email address so Decadent can send a copy of Tropical Paradise to the winner.

Death vs Romance

Available HERE

By Louisa Bacio

A Date with Death

A Dance with Death

A Duel with Death

Notice a progression? When I wrote my first 1Night Stand, A Date with Death, I knew I’d want to write more. The line is addicting as a reader and a writer.

From the moment hotel manager Johnny Castillo entered the story, I was asked, “What’s Johnny’s story?” Oh, this handsome Latino lover definitely deserved a story of his own, but he also needed a potential mate who’d be his equal, and he needed to be ready for the challenge that lay ahead.

Each of these stories deals with a paranormal realm, and the belief in the afterworld. Sadly, the loss of a loved one is something many people encounter. It’s inevitable. I know firsthand. My mother passed away when I was a teen. There’s a hope that maybe fate can be altered, and death can be cheated.

What greater power to battle death than love? A Duel with Death raises the stakes, and the battle becomes even more real. I hope you enjoy Johnny’s story.

Tell me: Since I love alliteration with these titles, have any suggestions? Leave a valid email address, and one person will win an electronic copy of A Date with Death, and a $5 gift card to Amazon.

A Duel with Death

Johnny Castillo watched love happen all around him for the last few years. Tired of his overzealous family, Johnny tends to date the women his Mama wouldn’t approve. When he turns to Madame E’s 1Night Stand service, he opens himself up to the possibilities.

Carmen Sanchez put up a strong fight against the cancer attacking her body. With her recent report tucked into her purse, unopened, she embarks upon a weekend of lusty pursuits, before she discovers her fate.

For the party-boy who doesn’t see himself settling down, to the woman who is tired of taking everything so serious, there’s an alternative battle happening neither are aware. The stakes are high. Life or death.

The Bright Lights of Vegas

When I sat down to write Everything He Wants, I wasn’t sure where the story would be set. I had a vague idea of a club, dancing, meeting and grinding, but where this would all happen was beyond me. To get the idea flowing, I let it go for a while. I didn’t rush it, but rather let it percolate. Some of the best ideas come from simply letting them happen for a while first.  So...I did.

I worked on another story and kept coming back to pictures of Vegas. Actually, pretty much everything led me to Vegas. I wanted an artist enclave where the artist has free reign. Now I understand that doesn’t automatically make one think of Vegas. New York comes to mind, too. 

Courtesy of David_Vasquez

I like Vegas and I like air traffic controllers, too. I wanted to put them together. To do that, I had to research air traffic control centers. There just happens to be one right outside Vegas. I talked to controllers and learned what made them tick as well as what absolutely crazy hours they work. These guys and gals are working when most everyone else isn’t. Night time, holidays...the planes keep flying and someone has to make sure they get wherever they need to go.

Then there’s the artist. He’s a painter by trade and due to his work with the hotel, he’s got a place to stay. Seems like it might be too impossible? It’s not. Fair trade. He gets a cut on rent or a better price to buy the suite in return for art being created for the hotel.  He’s happy with his life, but he wants more out of that life.

So what happens to get these two guys together? Plenty, but it all starts at a club.

Want to follow their story? Then you’ll have to read Everything He Wants, a One Night Stand story. Here’s more:

Everything He Wants

a 1Night Stand story

by Megan Slayer

Trace has almost everything he wants—a great job and a well-ordered life, but he’s ready for more—the right guy to share it with. A chance meeting after a hockey game with the man of his dreams spurs him on to turn to the one source he knows will help him out—Madame Eve’s 1Night Stand service.

Jeremy can’t forget the difficult childhood and subsequent bad decisions he made while trying to forget it. He wants the gorgeous air traffic controller, but he’s afraid his past will get in the way like it always does. If all Madame Eve can give them is one night…he’ll take it.

With Eve’s help, can the men forge the relationship they both want, or will they crash and burn?

Strong Women in Romance

Available HERE

by Landra Graf

I’ve been stumbling across a lot of articles lately about strong women in movies, video games, books, and entertainment in general. From what I’ve seen strong women tend to be downplayed in movies where the majority of females take a backseat role, they are brought in mainly for a romance aspect instead of playing a major factor in the plot. I do see predominant female characters in YA books and movies. In adult romance women share the stage with men. I enjoy the dual perspective and receiving a story from both sides. So how do you still portray a strong woman?

For my 1NS, What You Need, portraying a strong woman came naturally. My heroine, Victoria, has suffered in the past and overcame her suffering through changes to her everyday life and her sexual appetites. Enter the Femdom, and her eagerness to find someone to share her desires. She controls the situations, not the other way around.

She battles personal demons, but doesn’t allow them to rule her. The strong woman, in my opinion, has the ability to face her issues and wants to confront any problems standing in her way. Fear and negative emotions may delay her journey, but ultimately she’ll discover a solution to face the worst of the worst without fail. 

Ultimately, her goal is to save as much as be saved. To me, my strong woman wants to save her hero as much as he saves her. Saving and healing equality is what she’s looking for.

What are traits do you think a strong woman embodies?

What You Need

A sexual submissive, Royce wants a woman who’ll make his fantasies come true. The last thing he expects on his 1Night Stand is to be paired with Victoria, his ex-best friend. Haunted by their past, he refuses to deny his newfound attraction or his need for answers. This time, he doesn’t plan to let her go.
   Victoria has loved Royce forever, but the sting of his rejection is not so easily forgotten. No longer the naïve girl he knew, she’s matured into a sexual dominant. This Domme demands a chance to restart their relationship—on her terms. Knowing that one night will never be enough, she plans a seduction that will last forever.

Character Interview – Rob from One Night with the Bridesmaid

Rob Wellington, the hero of One Night with the Bridesmaid is a busy guy, but Sara Daniel has managed to snag him for a quick interview.

Hi Rob, come over here on the sofa and put your feet up. What would you like to drink--tea, coffee, wine?

Scotch. Actually, any kind of whiskey will do.

So what does a movie director do, exactly? Can you describe your typical day?

As a movie director, I’m responsible for bringing a story to life in a way to will resonate with viewers, entertain them for a couple hours, and hopefully give them a broader perspective on the world. In reality, I spend way too much time dealing with high-maintenances actors and actresses obsessed with stardom, regardless of how many people they have to step on to get there… Pass the whiskey, please.

I heard you've been to a rather eventful wedding recently--your brother’s? What juicy details are you at liberty to divulge?

I arrived in town on what was supposed to be the eve of my brother’s wedding. I planned my entire movie production schedule around the date, so I could be there, only to discover it had been called off. After a little digging (and a lot of whiskey), I further discovered the maid of honor had been doing most of the wedding planning. It didn’t take much to figure out she wanted my brother to herself. Well, she’s going to have to go through me first, and believe me, I won’t be so easy to fool.

On the topic of weddings--what are your views on marriage in general? Is there still such a thing as Happily Ever After? 

If you couldn’t tell, I’m pretty cynical. Everyone I meet wants the power and fame I can help them achieve. They don’t care about me. And if they find someone who has more of both, well, then they’re not interested in me. So, yeah, in theory I think marriage should be for love and the big Happily Ever After. But good luck finding anyone pure enough to achieve that kind of perfection.

Can you describe your "perfect girlfriend?" If you ran into her--say...on a blind date--what do you think would happen?

I suppose the “perfect girlfriend” would have a pure motivation and would like me for me and not want my money or fame. Does such a woman exist? I sincerely doubt it. The odds that I would meet her on a blind date—well, that’s absolutely ludicrous. If by some miracle I did, though, I’d be a fool to let her get away.

Oh dear, it looks like you have to run. One parting question--would you ever consider having a one night stand with a total stranger? There are girls out there who would like to know...

Being in the limelight, a guy can’t be too careful. Just because a woman’s a stranger to me, she likely knows all too well who I am and is hoping to propel her own acting career by association. Girls, find someone else. I’m not interested in being used.

Thanks for dropping by, Rob. For those who’d like to spend more time drooling over, ur, reading about him, check out One Night with the Bridesmaid.

Gifted with a 1Night Stand, Sabrina Lopez decides to use the chance to hook up with a man who knows how to give a woman pleasure—a man she’d never have the nerve to approach in real life. Madame Eve exceeds her expectations with the opportunity of a lifetime—and the man of her dreams, movie director Rob Wellington. He might be out of her league, but she’s willing to risk it all for one night.

Believing Sabrina responsible for breaking up his brother’s wedding, Rob sets out to stop her from scamming her way into the groom’s bed—even if he has to take his brother’s place. The last thing he expected to discover was a woman he could love and hold for the rest of his life—if he can convince her that he wants more than one night….

Dragon Mania

The Double Dragon’s Blood 1NS Series Is Now Complete!

Available HERE

How Did This Dragon Mania all start?

It all started with two seductive twins, Tatsu and Yong Li, my dragons. Along came Gwen Trembley, their fiery love interest in Double Dragon Seduction. Next was the continuing tale, one twin takes a wife, the other takes a new lover in Dragon Temptation. Then come the twins’ dragon cousin Kaida Li, and her mysterious match Roark Blackwell in Dragon’s Breath. The stories are crammed full of erotic romance, paranormal twists, unique mythology, but was I able to stop there? No! I had to go back to the beginning, with the couple that bestowed our dragon lovers with their unique legacy in Double Dragon’s Bond. This fourth story about the grandparents, Shen Li and Lien long was just released last week on June 6^th!

Double Dragon’s Blood 1NS series is even more packed with sizzling sex and secrets revealed.

What is it about these dragons that have captivated me so? It’s difficult to explain, except that their stories need to be told. Because my Double Dragons’ have been my best sellers, EVER, I decided to entice my readers who have also been drawn in by the twins’ mystifying allure. 

Today, I thought I would revisit my last dragon story; it is so near and dear to my heart. They all are, but Roark Blackwell really melts my butter!

In Dragon’s Breath, Roark protects her from a distance, he has yearned for her for years, Kaida can’t find a mate that can match her strength or survive her lineage. It all boils down to a single erotic night, or the morning after, that will change their loves forever.

An immortal protector under a dark curse longs for the love of a single woman, and a dragoness desperate to find a mate that can withstand her fiery lineage, seek the help of Madame Eve through a 1 Night Stand. Their biggest challenge? Sunrise.

Dragon’s Breath is a naughty little tale about Tatsu and Yong Li’s cousin, Kaida Lee, and my third 1NS dragon story. Who is Kaida Li you ask? She is a fire breathing dragon…really! Kaida is a martial artist and performer who belly dances and plays with fire. She can eat flames, and breath them, set her skin on fire, dance with fans and swords, and oh so much more!

She’s got an edge to her, a scorching temper and a dark sexual craving she cannot conquer. What about Roark? Well, he brings to bed, a few heated secrets of his own…

BLURB:

Eternal suffering is the fate dealt to Roark Blackwell. A fierce protector under a curse, he longs for a woman can never have. By day, a hideous stone creature, and by night, a flesh and blood immortal, starving for the touch

of a single woman. After centuries of torment, he takes his destiny into his own hands and seeks the help of Madame Evangeline. For a single night, he wants to feed his carnal cravings, but what happens when morning comes?

Living dangerously comes second nature to Kaida Lee. Struggling with her dark sexual appetite, her fiery temper and her ancient lineage makes finding an ideal match impossible. A descendant of the dragon, she has a genetic burden that no mere mortal could withstand. Having two cousins succeed in romance with the aid of their friend Madame Eve, she seeks satisfaction through the services of 1 Night Stand.

Excerpt:

In answer to your question, Have you ever been in love? I would have to declare, yes, only once. My dilemma is, she doesn’t know. Every night, I protect her from afar. Every day, she confides to me her innermost secrets. I could never love another, but I can by no means have her. At least, not in the traditional happily-ever-after sense. Over the years, I have watched her struggle to find her special someone, and she remains unmatched in character, integrity, and strength. Her beauty is timeless.

This application comes with a very unorthodox request. I recognize you protect the identity of your clients but this remarkable lady confessed to me she has sought your services for a one-night stand. She fears she will never find devotion, and her heart hardens with every day that passes.

Madame Evangeline, I request your help to gain temporary relief. For a single night—and it must be in the hours of darkness—I seek to be with the woman I cherish. Even if it means the end of me, those moments with her would be the most fulfilling of my existence.

Kindest Regards,

Roark Blackwell
