About Moonlight & Moet:

Can the Hottest Man Around Melt this Ice Queen’s Heart?

When her husband publicly cheats on her, Leigh Dobbs trades her humiliating reputation as an ice queen and a hometown that shuns her for the unknown of rural North Carolina. Taking over a small bed and breakfast, Leigh sets out to restore it, her dignity and her life. Excited at the prospect of adding more rooms and a full-service restaurant, Leigh’s big plans encounter the brick wall that is Caleb Rausch. Sparks fly even as Caleb votes no on the planning commission, crushing Leigh’s dreams.

Handsome powerhouse Caleb Rausch is a man on a mission, expanding his huge corporation without encroaching on the small town where it resides. His commitment to his products, employees and historic preservation are unwavering. What’s lacking is his commitment to one woman. Caleb is the most eligible bachelor in three states, dating celebrities and models, but never settling down. Until now.

Even as Caleb forces Leigh’s expansion plans on hold, the couple moves full-steam-ahead on their relationship, unable to resist the mutual attraction. So why, after a steamy night together, does Caleb disappear for weeks? Has Leigh put her heart out there again, just to be played?

Will the magic of a moonlit night be enough to kindle their love or will Caleb’s constant disappearing act prevent him from melting this ice queen’s heart?

Britain has a Robo-Sex Brothel!

Yes, former staid and proper (on the surface) Jolly Old England has a robot sex brothel in an industrial area in Gateshead.  As of the article in The Sun, this brothel hasn’t suffered the same fate as the one in Turin, Italy, which was rapidly disposed of  France has a robo-brothel,  but the one a Canadian firm tried to open in a Houston was shut down in two weeks as promoting degradation of women.  Like prostitution doesn’t! My personal opinion is that it decreases the degradation of real women.

The London brothel will set you back 50 pounds for an hour and 2 hours is 130 pounds.

There a number of sex dolls on the market for those wishing a romp in the hay to a marriage partner (yes, people are developing feelings for them).  Samantha is one of the hyper-realistic dolls that her designed Sergi Santos says can feel the touch on her face, hands  breasts and other more private parts.  Harmony, designed by  Chinese-based firm Dalian, can speak and develop feelings with her ability to learn what your mood is and laugh if you’re being amusing.  Amazing, huh?

I’ll tie this into my book about sentient Androids sold for love. Christian, one of the androids has an independent streak and his purchaser March falls in love with her completely humanoid robot.  The androids in LFS are much more advanced than our robots today, but the general idea is on its way.

(Doll is Harmony; photo credit @abyssrealdoll = instagram)

Love For Sale Blurb:

March Morgan believes in true love, but her faith in finding her soul mate is slowly fading.

She’s been married but never in love.  So, it’s a miracle to find that fantasy exists on the last page of a women’s journal.  Mayfair Electronics, Ltd., in a glossy black and white ad, offers Love for Sale.  The London firm has engineered sentient androids indistinguishable from human.  She flies to England and meets the man she has been searching for her entire life.

Christian requires no programming to love March at first sight.  He’s handsome, cultured…absolutely perfect…and a little different from the other androids.  He has an unexpected independent streak.

March signs on the dotted line, buying her dream man.  They return to Houston, but soon her past and his future threaten their Happily Ever After—indeed their lives.

Available in eBook, print and audio book!

 

What a Widow Wants by Jenna Jaxon

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Jenna Jaxon will be awarding a $20 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn commenter.

Widowed by the Battle of Waterloo, the ladies of Lyttlefield Park are returning to London society—with their futures in their own hands . . .

The widowed Lady Stephen Tarkington, Fanny to her friends, has finished mourning her cad of a husband and is ready to enjoy her freedom. The kind of freedom neither a gently bred miss nor a close-watched wife is permitted: dressing up as Aphrodite for a masquerade, drawing gentlemen away from the party, and hinting at late-night assignations with her dance partners. All is going pleasurably according to plan—until the Roman god Fanny kisses during a masquerade turns out to be Matthew, Lord Lathbury, whose proposal she refused years ago . . .

Lathbury is charming, passionate, inventive, everything Fanny wants in a lover—but unfortunately, he’s on the hunt for a wife. He’s more than willing to use all his wicked skills to persuade her back to the altar, but he can’t wait forever. And now Fanny’s position is more precarious than she once thought. If the tongues of the ton set to wagging, it’s possible no offer in the world will save her from ruin. But does she want to be saved? . . .

Read an Excerpt:

Leaning into him, she whispered, “We can renew our acquaintance in all ways that count.”

“So you’ll agree to bed me but not wed me?”

“For the moment.” She tapped her fingers lightly on his chest. “Would that be such a hardship on you?”

Sighing, he pulled a face. “I suppose not.” A flash of his boyish grin made her stomach drop. “May I woo you properly, at least?”

“Improperly would be more to my taste.” Fanny returned his smile with one of her own, as sultry and seductive as she could make it. “But I suppose some decorous behavior wouldn’t kill me either.”

“Good.” He took her hands and raised them to his lips. “I leave for Brighton at the end of the week. I’d hoped you’d be accompanying me as my wife, but that—”

“As your wife?” How arrogant of him to think she’d fall into his arms at the snap of his fingers.

“Well? Will you meet me in Brighton?” Matthew’s eager voice brought her back to the dim room now filled with possibilities.

“I will be happy to journey to Brighton, my lord. If I find you there, I do hope you will attend me most earnestly.” In a heart’s beat she slipped her hands from his, pulled his lips down to hers, and sealed the pact with a kiss so warm and sweet her resolve slipped a notch. “And now if you’ll excuse me?” Turning swiftly on her toes, Fanny raced for the door. As she grasped the handle, she glanced back at him.

The victorious grin on his face sent a shiver down her spine. She pulled the door open and fled into the corridor before she could change her mind.

Christmas and Cannolis by Peggy Jaeger! Character Interview!!!

14 Friday Dec 2018

, , , ,

Hi, Linda. Thanks so much for having me visit today. I’ve been looking forward to it and I’ve wanted to introduce you to Ursula San Valentino for a while, now. I sat down with her recently to talk about our planned visit with you because I wanted to prepare her for what to expect and get her thoughts on what she wanted to talk about.  As usua,l when Ursula gets going, we got a little…off tangent. Here’s an example:

Peggy: So, Urs, you know we’re going to be on my writer friend Linda Nightingale’s blog in few weeks, right?

Ursula: (waves her hand like she’s swatting a bug away); Yeah, yeah. I know. Do I gotta get my hair done before we go? It’s getting close to the holidays and my girl is booked up. I don’t know if she can squeeze me in and I don’t want my hair to look brutto when we’re filming.

Peggy: ( Shakes her head), No, Ursula. Don’t you remember? I told you we’re being interviewed on-line, not on camera. No film. And your hair doesn’t look ugly at all. It’s fine.

Ursula: What’a’ya mean, on a line? I gotta stand on some line to talk to this lady? That ain’t gonna be no fun, especially since it’s gotten so cold outside.

Peggy: (Another head shake.) No, no On-line. Like, on the Internet. We’re guests on her writing blog—

Ursula: You know, Sonny says that Internet thing is a dangerous place. All kinds a’weirdos and losers with nothing better to do all day then type. And why is it called the Internet? I don’t get it. If it’s a net, that means it’s captures stuff and things get caught in it, right? I don’t know how I feel about that. I don’t wanna be trapped somewhere right before Christmas.

Peggy: (starting to sweat a little). Um, I think it’s called that because it’s a vast amount of computers that all talk to one another, computer to computer, internally.  You know, like a network? Inter-net. Get it?

Ursula: (squints at me) Computers talk to one another? Like, on the phone?

Peggy: Not exactly. (Takes a calming breath) But you don’t have to worry about any of that, Ursula. Linda’s just going to ask us some questions about Regina’s bakery and her life –

Ursula: What she gotta know about my piccolo ragazza for?

Peggy: Because that’s the purpose of the blog interview. You were going to tell her about the bakery, ANGIE’S, and talk a bit about Regina and where’s she’s at in her life these days. The divorce, how busy she’s been with the holidays coming up and everything else. Remember?

Ursula: Where she’s at? She’s at the same place she always is: over the bakery in the apartment Sonny set her up in. She ain’t going nowhere else. At least not as I’ve heard. Have up heard something? Is she moving? Leaving the city? Why’d she want to do that?

Peggy: (tries to calm Ursula as her voice rises). No, she’s staying put, don’t worry.

Ursula :(clicks her tongue and presses her lips together) Telling a mother not to worry about their babies is just dumb. Stupido. We always worry, whether they’re bambini or full grown. And I worry about Regina more than the rest of my children. She’s had some real tragedy in her life. A loss I wouldn’t wish on anyone, not even my pazzo daughter-in-laws.

Peggy: Your son’s wives aren’t crazy, Urs.

Ursula: (Nods, vehemently) Bah! And lazy, too. Do you know they never help me when I have Sunday dinner? No offers t’cleanup, or even bring something to pass. Lazy, I say. (She puts her first two fingers against her lips and makes a spitting sound, as if cursing them)

Peggy: Okay, I’m not going to change your mind about them, so let’s get back to the interview about Regina.

Ursula: You know, now that I think about it, I’m not so sure this is a good idea, me talking outta school about my baby girl. She’s private like, you know? I think we should talk about something else with this lady writer friend of yours. Maybe cooking. Does she cook? Think she’d like some of my recipes? I got a great one for octopus that I serve on Christmas Eve when we have the Feast of the Seven fishes. It’s Sonny’s favorite. Think she’d like that? I mean, who doesn’t like octopus?

Peggy: (with an eye roll) Um…I’ll ask her.

So, Linda, do you like octopus? Asking for…a friend. And P.S. I think we may have to rethink our visit with you…

~

Release day 12.12.18!!!

Blurb:

With Christmas season in full swing, baker Regina San Valentino is up to her elbows in cake batter and cookie dough. Between running her own business, filling her bursting holiday order book, and managing her crazy Italian family, she’s got no time to relax, no room for more custom cake orders, and no desire to find love. A failed marriage and a personal tragedy have convinced her she’s better off alone. Then a handsome stranger enters her bakery begging for help. Regina can’t find it in her heart to refuse him.

Connor Gilhooly is in a bind. He needs a specialty cake for an upcoming fundraiser and puts himself—and his company’s reputation—in Regina’s capable hands. What he doesn’t plan on is falling for a woman with heartbreak in her eyes or dealing with a wise-guy father and a disapproving family.

Can Regina lay her past to rest and trust the man who’s awoken her heart?

Excerpt:

It had been a long, long time since a guy’s hands had been on me in anything resembling a carnal way. My ex had decamped to parts unknown five years ago after signing the divorce papers and I’d been so busy rebuilding my life that adding any kind of relationship to it wasn’t even a notion. Besides, with my hovering parents, one of whom worked for me while the other popped in daily to check up on their only daughter, I had enough on my plate fending off the men they wanted to introduce me to. Guys who, for the most part, had shady lifestyles, carried concealed, and owed my father innumerable favors. And by favors I mean the kind that usually get signed for in blood and paid back the same way.

Welcome to mia familia.

Author bio:

Peggy Jaeger is a contemporary romance writer who writes about strong women, the families who support them, and the men who can’t live without them.

Family and food play huge roles in Peggy’s stories because she believes there is nothing that holds a family structure together like sharing a meal…or two…or ten. Dotted with humor and characters that are as real as they are loving, Peggy brings all topics of daily life into her stories: life, death, sibling rivalry, illness and the desire for everyone to find their own happily ever after. Growing up the only child of divorced parents she longed for sisters, brothers and a family that vowed to stick together no matter what came their way. Through her books, she has created the families she wanted as that lonely child.

Tying into her love of families, her children’s book, THE KINDNESS TALES, was illustrated by her artist mother-in-law.

Peggy holds a master’s degree in Nursing Administration and first found publication with several articles she authored on Alzheimer’s Disease during her time running an Alzheimer’s in-patient care unit during the 1990s.

In 2013, she placed first in two categories in the Dixie Kane Memorial Contest: Single Title Contemporary Romance and Short/Long Contemporary Romance.

In 2017 she came in 3rd in the New England Reader’s Choice contest for A KISS UNDER THE CHRISTMAS LIGHTS and was a finalist in the 2017 STILETTO contest for the same title.

In 2018, Peggy was a finalist in the HOLT MEDALLION Award and once again in the 2018 Stiletto Contest.

A lifelong and avid romance reader and writer, she is a member of RWA and her local New Hampshire RWA Chapter.

The Dark Road by Gail Z. Martin

Jonmarc Vahanian fled from the raiders and monsters that killed his family, but when danger dogs his steps once again, he leaves the traveling caravan that gave him shelter to become a mercenary in nearby Principality. His fighting skills help him rise through the ranks, and draw the attention of a Nargi general—and the general’s undead mage. An old, unsettled score turns deadly, trapping Jonmarc in dangerous intrigue. He can save himself—and betray everything he holds dear—or die a hero as the raider’s curse holds true.

This collection is the second set of short stories and novellas that reveal another phase of Jonmarc’s growth from a blacksmith’s son to becoming one of the greatest warriors in the history of the Winter Kingdoms.

Soldier. Fight slave. Smuggler. Warrior. Brigand Lord. You may have encountered Jonmarc Vahanian in the Chronicles of the Necromancer but you don’t really know him until you walk in his footsteps.

Read an Excerpt

Bad Blood

Sure enough, Peters insisted that the small caravan camp for the night on a field just inside the border of Lord Nemic’s lands.

“It’s still early,” Harrtuck argued. “We could travel another hour, be that much closer to the manor, and arrive before noon.”

“It will do no good for us to arrive exhausted,” Peters sniffed. “We are performers. We must be sufficiently rested. Lord Eston’s orders were clear. We are to provide an excellent performance for Lord Nemic, as befits a gift of this magnitude. We will not drag in like peddlers, half-asleep and unable to give our best showing.”

“We were hired to defend you,” Harrtuck snapped. “And as your guards, I need to warn you that this position is once again too close to the trees and difficult to defend.”

“Deal with it,” Peters replied, eyes narrowing. “We are camping here.”

This time, Harrtuck did not attempt to hide his muttered curses as he stalked away. “Either that man is incredibly stupid, or he wants to be attacked,” he mumbled to Jonmarc when he had returned to where the rest of the War Dogs waited with their horses.

Jonmarc raised an eyebrow. “I’m not questioning his stupidity, but maybe he does want to be attacked—there’s something about this whole thing we don’t know, a piece we’re missing.”

Harrtuck nodded. “Aye. But I can’t figure out what it is.”

Final Notice by Van Fleischer

05 Wednesday Dec 2018

This post is part of a virtual book tour organized by Goddess Fish Promotions. Van Fleisher will be awarding a $50 Amazon/BN GC to a randomly drawn winner via rafflecopter during the tour. Click on the tour banner to see the other stops on the tour.

The year is the very near future. A brilliant young doctor and mathematician, Vijay Patel, has invented a new health/sport watch that monitors blood chemistry so accurately, it can actually predict when someone will die – within 10, 20, or 30 days. The intention of this “Final Notice,” as it is called, is to allow people to get their affairs in order and reach out to loved ones before it’s too late. But when those notified have easy access to a gun, the result is sometimes lethal for more than just the watch-owner.

These are the stories of several people who receive their Final Notice and their very different reactions … including a desire to get revenge with impunity. They range from an 89-year-old resident in a retirement home to a U.S. Senator…from a benevolent widow to a crass tycoon to a noted climate change scientist.

But in this fresh, fast-paced page-turner, their stories are all set against the all-too-recognizable backdrop of a guns-gone-wild America, and the relentless push by the NRA and their surrogate politicians to make guns even easier to acquire.

There is plenty of dark humor and political satire in FINAL NOTICE, as well as touching scenes and outright suspense. So expect to laugh out loud, dry some tears, and bite your nails (not necessarily in that order).

Read an Excerpt:

Taking a deep breath, he charged into the small clearing and faced the two guys across the flickering fire, aiming the gun at them. The guy holding the pipe dropped it behind them. In a voice as menacing as possible, Vince demanded, “Where’s Rambo?”

About the Author:

“After 21 years with an airline, and 30 years in management consulting, I retired and found that my phone didn’t ring and the only emails I got were asking for money. So, since I was at my computer, I decided to write a novel.”

This is only half the story. (Van is notoriously modest.) The author was Director of International Marketing with TWA, and an International Management Consultant – taking him behind the closed doors of boardrooms and executive offices around the world. He knows how business works, which gives the slightly “sci-fi” premise of Final Notice a realistic feel. Moreover, his two careers led him to live abroad for much of his life. After growing up in New Jersey and Florida, where he never thought much further than the length of a football field, and going to college in New Mexico, he wound up living in England, Scotland and France, travelling frequently to the Middle East and Asia. He even spent a year living in India. And his first-hand experience with – and respect for – other cultures is apparent in this book.

“Final Notice is meant to highlight, my concerns with America’s handling of three important issues: gun control (not anti-gun), ageism and the importance of immigration. The book won’t fix these issues, but there are a number of great organizations with even greater people working on our behalf to right these wrongs. Proceeds from sales of Final Notice will help support those efforts.”
