Welcome to week 110^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is One Sexy Boy. While I know that I have a lot of sexy boys who turn into sexy men in my stories, I have been working with one this past week who’s been around so long he hardly qualifies as a boy any more. Still, this very sexy man came from a very sexy boy somewhere along the way.

Don’t forget to visit Monday’s Austria Scoop and a Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life columns this week. Last week I talked about a huge tile that fell from the outside of a building and the implications on my life. Then I also talked about Fear of Success on Tuesday. Something is always happening here and if you comment on any of the weekly columns, you might just win a $25 monthly Amazon gift certificate.  

Now, I just recently used this story but I’ve been doing some edits on it and I can’t tell you how excited about this one. I love how it ebbs and flows, I love how the characters just mesh together from the sidekick to the boss to the heroine. They all just belong. Since there’s not blurb or logline yet, I’ll just describe the series in the words of Serenity Donovan, heroine xtraodinaire. Here’s what she had to say:

Ever wonder what's on the other side?

Well, don't. It's not necessarily the fantasyland most people imagine. It's more complicated than that. I should know, I visit more often than just about everyone.

The only difference is I live to tell the tale.

Then there’s Jasper. Oh, my, he’s the kind of guy a girl wants to bump pelvises with and never look back. There’s just one minor problem. He’s a ghost who’s still blamed for a 150 year old set of murders that he had nothing to do with.

So instead of him doing the deed and talking dirty to me, I have to prove him innocent. Then maybe – just maybe – he’ll give into those things he says he doesn’t feel.

September 2015

Here’s my seven sexy paragraphs from my work-in-progress Angels and Demons from The JR Chronicles series:

“It’s never just sex.” He leaned in closer then pulled away. “I thought we’d both agreed.”

Licking my lips, I edged closer. “You agreed, I just listened. And drooled.”

“This isn’t a good idea.” His tongue flicked out to play with mine. “I won’t be able to stop myself.”

“That’s good for me.”

Jasper told me once that he’d never had feelings for a woman like he had me. From the moment he made himself known to me as a teenager, he’s been smitten but since he’d never been romantically involved with any live human, he didn’t think it possible. Then I started to toy with him and frustrated us both to no end. It was like two teenagers in heat who barely touched.

We’d been playing this game for ten years and detonation was bound to happen soon. Just as things were starting to get good, I found myself dumped on my ass as Jasper faded away.

“Maybe next time,” I whispered as I picked myself up, pulling on my blouse as I walked to the door. I was going to kill whoever rang the bell. Now it was an absolute given, the vibrator in my bedside stand would get a workout tonight.

Welcome to week 109^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is My Sexy Girlfriend. I have to say that every one of my stories has a sexy girlfriend somewhere in them. This definitely makes my job harder each week. I try to showcase something different every week but I swear, I’m running out of things…LOL…but it’s only because I have so many new projects in the works.

Just a friendly reminder, don’t forget to visit Monday’s Austria Scoop and a Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life columns this week. Summer is finally over here and I’m getting back in the swing of things with planning and such. I just love the Fall season as I finally get back into writing mode albeit slowly some days. Still, check me out on Monday and Tuesday to get the full scoop of just what’s been happening to me.  

Today’s story is one that I’m totally excited about even though I wrote it almost ten years ago now. It was one of the first stories I wrote for eXtasy Books and I have to get working on finishing the series. The girl in the story, Tessa, is quite sexy but she doesn’t really know it and always falls for the wrong people. This time, she’s going to fall for the right one in a big way. By doing that she thrusts herself into a world few know exist and even fewer get the privilege to visit it. Here’s the set up:

Tessa, very let down by love, is surprised to find herself comforted by the red-suited man himself on Christmas Eve. Thinking that he is the figment of her slightly tipsy mind, she pours her heart out to him hoping for just a little love, understanding and a good sexual encounter. Tessa gets more than she bargained for with an elf named Jedrick and both get the Christmas present of a lifetime. In only a short time, they find themselves realizing their love is for more than just the holiday season and more than just the sexual romp they had envisioned.

But Tessa has obligations in the real world and Jedrick needs to begin designs for next year. He gives Tessa a very special locket, telling her to use it anytime and he will come right away. Once back in her world, Tessa finds it has lost its charm and knows that her place is with the elf she loves, Jedrick. Their very humorous love-story is told amidst the backdrop of a post Christmas North Pole and the winter in Reno.

Here’s my seven sexy paragraphs from the book A View From Santa’s Sleigh:

“You’re every elf’s dream, and the best present I’ve ever received. I want to be in you…I want to be in you now,” he whispered, waiting for her response.

Tessa wiggled under him, desperate for the closeness that he wanted. “Yes,” she answered. “I want that too…more than anything.”

Gently, Jedrick pushed her knees apart and lowered himself between them, seeking entrance into her slick folds. “You need to be very sure about this,” he said, looking deeply into her eyes.

Tessa gazed up at him with unresolved passion. She loved the way the firelight played on his hair as it swung around them, embracing them in its warmth. Reaching up, she touched his face, caressing the tightness etched into every line. “I am very sure. I want you.”

Little by little, he pushed his large shaft into her tight sheath. “You are so tight,” he murmured. “I don’t want to hurt you.”

“You won’t,” she assured him, arching her body to meet his thrusts. “Please…come closer.”

He levied his body to lie on top of hers, his skin glistening with small drops of perspiration. He leaned down and took her face in his hands. Unhurried, he kissed her, resting his forehead on hers. “Are you really sure this is what you want?” he asked again.

This series is from my traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books, who is still having a sale on some of my books at their website. There are currently three books from the Santa’s Elves series you can pick up from the books listed below for just $0.99.

Welcome to week 108^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is Talk Sexy To Me. Oh boy, do I love this theme. Most of my characters talk sexy to each other but recently, the ones that I really love are in a WIP called Angels and Demons. This is part of The JR Chronicles that I’ve been working on this summer. I really love this series as I am working on Serenity’s journals as well as some short stories for each of the months in those journals.

The journals and the short stories are a way for me to really know and understand these characters. It makes me very excited when I’m working on them and I get that wonderful, tingly feeling writers get when they are really excited about their work. It’s extremely important for us to feel that way and this book has me in spades.

Just a friendly reminder, don’t forget to visit Monday’s Austria Scoop and a Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life columns this week. Summer is finally over here and I’m getting back in the swing of things with planning and such. Check me out on Monday and Tuesday to get the full scoop of just what’s been happening to me.  

Today’s story is one that I’m totally excited about like I mentioned. I love how it ebbs and flows. I’ll be honest, I haven’t worked on a blurb or anything like a logline with this story yet. The best way I can describe this series is what Serenity told me to put under her ‘About Me’ box on The JR Chronicles website. Here’s what she had to say:

Ever wonder what's on the other side?

Well, don't. It's not necessarily the fantasyland most people imagine. It's more complicated than that. I should know, I visit more often than just about everyone.

The only difference is I live to tell the tale.

Then there’s Jasper. Oh, my, he’s the kind of guy a girl wants to bump pelvises with and never look back. There’s just one minor problem. He’s a ghost who’s still blamed for a 150 year old set of murders that he had nothing to do with.

So instead of him doing the deed and talking dirty to me, I have to prove him innocent. Then maybe – just maybe – he’ll give into those things he says he doesn’t feel.

Here’s my seven unedited sexy paragraphs from my work-in-progress Angels and Demons:

His raspy sound told me again of this displeasure as his fingers ran over the raised flesh. “I told you there were other ways. You didn’t have to mar your beautiful skin to make sure we were protected.”

“If you remember, I most certainly did.” I stood there, quivering at his touch. We’d been here many times and it would only take a little shove to make it all go another way.

“We can’t do this, Serenity. Not now, not ever.”

“Why not?” I whispered. “We could enjoy ourselves and…”

“Pretend it didn’t happen?” Barely moving, his head went from side to side. “I could never dishonor you so. We’ve talked about this.”

I closed my eyes, the sensation of his touch making me tingle all over. “How many times have I told you? In this day and age you wouldn’t be dishonoring me at all. We’d have some fun, get our frustrations out over the case then continue working together. Just like we always do.”

“It’s not that easy for me, Serenity.” His eyes darkened and as much as he held back, I knew he wanted to bump pelvises too.

Welcome to week 107^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is Sexy Has It. What I took this to mean was that sexy is important and that sexy can make or break a story. Everyone has their own idea of just what sexy is but the whole point of it is that it can make your heart race and your brain to go haywire.  

 Don’t forget to visit Monday’s Austria Scoop and a Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life columns this week. I’m getting back in the swing of things as it’s been very pleasant around here recently in more ways than one. Check me out on Monday and Tuesday to get the full scoop of just what’s been happening to me.  

Today’s story is one that is fairly old now. I’m doing a re-edit for my publisher and hope to have it available soon. Here’s the short and sweet setup:

Two brothers torn apart by misunderstanding, two sisters bound to them by fate. One extraordinary story of how they find each other, love and a mission to keep all of humanity safe.

Here’s my seven sexy paragraphs from A Tale of Opposites:

“You are a nightwalker, preferring the night to the day, always in shadow when you can, thinking no one can see you. All anyone need do is to look for you and they will find you.”

I breathed heavily. This girl knew more about me than it seemed I knew about myself. “What else have you heard?” I finally managed to get out.

“That you need this.” Leaning in, her mouth captured mine, her tongue running over my bottom lip before nipping it. If I had not known she was innocent, this kiss would have me thinking otherwise.

I pulled back from her once more. “Do you really understand that for which you ask?”

A lazy smile crossed her face. “I do…I really do.”

I did not understand this turnabout and was not sure I really wanted to do so. A man has to take what he can in this heathen world. “I have to ask…you understand that I may not be able to help myself and may bite you…and you truly understand this?”

She nodded, eyes shining. “I truly do, m’lord.”

My traditional ePublisher, eXtasy Books, is still having a sale on some of my books at their website and in that sale is the first book in this series, Iain and Kelsey.

My Sexy Saturday ~ @oddlynn3 #CaptiveIllusions #LynnCrain #MySexySaturday #MSSAuthors #MSS106

Welcome to week 106^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is That Sexy Time of Day. I loved how it was explained. People do make love at all times of the day. Some set aside a special time, others are spontaneous. I know that my characters just do it whenever they want. Again, I’m not sure if I really have something that fits this theme but I hope you enjoy the book I did choose.

 You all should be happy to know that I did do a Monday’s Austria Scoop and a Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life columns this week. I think I’m getting back in the swing of things as it’s been very pleasant around here recently. Check me out on Monday and Tuesday to get the full scoop.  

Today’s story is one that I’m stiil writing, so this is more like a sneak peak. It’s part of my Captive Illusion series and is on the edge of my comfort zone as far as writing goes because it’s all about the sexual fantasies people have.  Here’s the setup:

Merrick never expected to be part of his brother, Iain’s wild sexual games.  Once it is over, he realizes he wants to find what Iain has found…his soul mate. When he meets Jenna, he’s afraid she is the one.  But she certainly isn’t what he expected. She’s a hunter or so he thinks. But how can someone so innocent belong to a group as cold as the Hunters?

Jenna cannot believe her eyes when she sees Merrick…talk, dark and brooding…and everything she’s ever wanted in a man. There’s just one problem. He’s an immortal and her family hunts immortals. But he holds the key to her deepest, darkest fantasies. And the more she’s with him, the more she realizes her father has deceived her. But is she ready to give up everything she knows for an uncertain future?

Here’s my seven sexy paragraphs from Merrick and Jenna:

“You’re beautiful,” he answered without hesitation. “And I’d like to hear your explanation of why I should kill a beautiful woman.”

Jenna felt the heat in her cheeks. She had wanted to hear those words from someone for so long and here, a sworn enemy, told her the very thing she needed to hear. “Thank you.”

“You’re very welcome.” He ran his fingers along her bare body in a straight line, paying special attention to her breasts and legs. Kneeling in front of her between her legs, he ran his hands along her inner thighs. “But you still haven’t told me why you think I’m going to kill you.”

She licked her lips slowly. “I betrayed you and your clan.”

“Hardly. If it hadn’t been you it would have been someone else,” he practically purred in her ear. “What I really want to know is all your sexual fantasies. All of them.” He pulled the scarf off her face and looked at her as if judging what her reply would be.

Her heartbeat went up a notch. “Why?”

“I plan to fulfill each and every one of them.”

Again, this is part of my Captive Illusions series from eXtasy Books. Each story is about a different type of immortal and how they come together with their soul mates. I love writing paranormal stories and hopefully, you all just lvoe reading them. Look for it soon from eXtasy!

Welcome to week 105^th week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is My Sexy Boyfriend. In most of my books, I don’t really have a boyfriend type guy. To me, those are the guys that the heroine would date and in many of my stories, the two have never met until the start of the book. Not that I don’t have my heroes woo the heroines, I do but just not in a traditional boyfriend-girlfriend type of way. So, I hope you enjoy the book I did choose.

My blog is normally hopping with Monday’s Austria Scoop where I talk about Austria and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life where I talk writing and life. I say normally because this past month has been anything but normal. The summer has been hot with lots of humidity and when it’s that way, I don’t want to do a thing. Add to that a staycation where my husband and I did things close to home for 5 wonderful days and you have some of your reasons for me not being in a participatory mood.

Today’s story is one that I really loved writing. It’s part of my Santa’s Elves series and involves one of the family’s sassy cousins who really wants to be in on the family secrets. Here’s the setup:

Giselle Paine has always been on the outside looking in on her elven cousins. Just once she wished she could belong to something bigger than herself. But fate has a way of weaving its web and when handsome elf Ronan Munro arrives on her doorstep after a vicious attack, she knows exactly what she wants. But convincing Ronan is another thing. What will it take to bring him around to her way of thinking and into her bed?

Here’s my seven sexy paragraphs from Giselle’s Elf:

“With you.” She shrugged her shoulders, trying to remove his hands.

But he couldn’t let go. “Why? I’ve done nothing to you except be here to make sure no one attacks you again. And tried to bring you back to the world of the living.”

She chewed her bottom lip as if deciding what to say. When she did speak, it was in a low whisper and he had to lean closer to her to even hear. “If all I am to you is a responsibility you don’t want, why do you always smell so good? Why do you always look so damn sexy? Get away from me if all you want is to teach me a lesson. I’ve had enough lessons in my life.”

His hands immediately fell to his sides. This was his moment of truth. A decision to be made, to deny himself. “What are you talking about?”

“Huh.” She looked up at him wryly. “Go away. I don’t want you around because you have to be. Be here because you want to and nothing else. Even if we never...”

Giselle tried to shove past him but he wasn’t giving up so easily. He really felt she should get it all out so she – they could move forward. Making up his mind in a split second, he knew what he had to do. It was her wellbeing that mattered not his. Grabbing her arm, he pulled her so she was faced away from him. Her perfume wafted up and drifted through his senses, a warm earthy smell, so unlike what he thought she would wear. And he knew he was lost. Leaning in, her hair touched his face as light as an angel’s wing. “What is it you want, Giselle?”

“Who wants to know? Ronan, the protector or Ronan, the man?” she whispered.

Like I said, this story is part of my wonderful Santa’s Elves series and takes place in Boston. Elves are one of my most favorite magical creatures and I just can’t wait until the next one comes out. Yeah, I’ve got a couple more stories in this world to do and I’m hoping to have them done this year for release sometime next year. Keep your fingers crossed.

Welcome to week 103rd week of My Sexy Saturday. This week’s theme is A Very Sexy Time. Once again, I feel that all my stories have some very sexy times in them. However, I think this one has a very unusual setting for a very sexy time. The scene I’ll be sharing today takes place in a barn. Not just any barn but one from the 1880s. Some reminders first…

Don’t forget, my blog is always hopping with Monday’s Austria Scoop where I talk about Austria and Tuesday’s My So-Called Writing Life where I talk writing and life. Both can be incredibly boring or incredibly exciting. Some weeks it’s a little bit of both. Last week I talked about an Austrian wedding for the Austria Scoop and somehow, My So-Called Writing Life post never showed. I had apparently scheduled it for this week. I really shouldn’t work when I have a headache…but check out the blog as I might just cover that.

Today’s story is one that has a very special place in my heart. I know you all are tired of hearing just how much I love Scotland. I do and really wish I could live there. This story has won awards and is just an all-around great story about a woman doctor whose husband is haunting her to move on with her life. Here’s the setup:

Maggie Grey had wanted to be a doctor all her life. She achieved her dream along with her husband, Justin. Together they planned to build a clinic on his ancestral home on the Isle of Skye in Scotland. But women doctors in the year 1882 didn’t have many options and even fewer if they were widowed like she had been recently. Arriving in England to visit Elizabeth Blackwell, founder of the London Medical School for Woman, she is discouraged to find that the only real health care on the remote Isle of Skye will be herself, a few aging doctors as well as veterinary doctors.

But she must build a clinic there to escape her memories and fulfill her late husband’s dream. Maggie goes by train and boat to the rather bleak Isle of Skye. The island is almost as barren as she feels and she isn’t sure if she can even fit in. Add the fact that her dead husband is haunting her with the request for her to fall in love again and she knows she’s losing her mind.

But the people of Skye need her…and she is determined not to let them down...but they are slow to accept a widowed woman doctor. Now if she were married again…that would be a different matter…and her dead husband, Justin, knows just the right man for the job, Conall MacGryman, his childhood friend and cousin, a veterinary for the island. Now all Justin has to do is to convince Maggie to give the man a chance so she can fall in love again…for both their sakes.

Here’s my seven sexy paragraphs from The Haunting of Maggie Grey:

“Fine.” His hands shook from the cold and his fingers clumsy as he tried to undo the buttons.

Shaking her head, Maggie pushed his frozen fingers out of the way and undid each one as if it were a seductive dance. With the last one free, she walked around him and, standing on tiptoes, eased the heavy coat from his shoulders. Placing it next to hers on the cow pen, she turned, surprised to find he was right behind her. She leaned heavily into the wood, trying to still her fast beating heart.

* * * *

“Maggie,” the seductive whisper of her name brought her soft brown eyes to glance quickly at him. “Do not turn away from me, girl.” His hand curled completely around her head, filing his palm as if she were a small child, holding her where he wanted. He was so large and she was so small. Never had he felt like he held a fine piece of fragile porcelain. Winding his fingers into the silk of her hair, he slowly, he forced her to face him, gazing deeply in her brown eyes. “I am going to kiss yeu now.”

He lowered his lips to hers, devouring her bottom lip in one swoop. Nibbling at the edges, he gained access to her mouth and groaned. Conall did not want to scare her off. But he needed her in the worst way and he was sure if she would just press herself against him, she would feel his hard shaft, would know his body wanted her much in the same way he was sure she wanted him. They had danced around each other for two months, but the woman acted like a virgin instead of the widow he knew her to be. The deep red color of her hair should indicate her passion ran hot instead of the shyness she displayed with him on many occasions.

“Open up completely, girl,” he whispered even more seductively than the first time as he softened his mouth to stroke against her soft lips. He was surprised when it took little prompting on his part to get her to open her mouth as his tongue slid in.

Neither of them was naive as to what happened between a man and a woman. He had wanted her from the moment he saw her at the train station in her widow’s robes. He’d known she’d suffered a great loss and knew he must bide his time until she was ready to give herself to him. The storm had provided the perfect situation for them to be together and if she was willing, he would take full advantage of the situation.

He only prayed she felt the same about him as he did about her.

This story starts in Boston where Maggie is grieving for her husband and the loss of their life plans. She’s compelled by that dead husband to go to Scotland where the two lovers meet. Hope you enjoyed this little look into this wonderful story.
