Our Sexy Little Words ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #MSSAuthors

Welcome to week 71st week of My Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is Our Sexy Little Words and it’s all about making love. Or at least the words one says while having foreplay, or after play or how about just any play. First, let me apologize for getting this up late. My computer decided that a no-show was in its day and decided to give me a green screen this morning. Which basically means that I’ve overloaded the computer somehow and it needs to rest. I don’t know, it might be the 50 or so websites I have open at a time. Yeah, I know, I know but I like having everything at my fingertips. But before we get to this Saturday’s excerpt, how about me letting you know about my week in Austria.

Well…it’s been another interesting week in Austria…and not just the weather. This morning I woke up early, way too early for me as I was up doing research until the wee hours of the morning last night, to the plop-plop-plop of something dripping. Knowing that it was supposed to rain today, I ignored it until it got worse. Finally, drug myself out of bed to find my bathroom, without toilet mind you, getting drenched from the flat above. It happens everything their pipes back up. The water just runs down the light fixture and the light bulb to the floor. Put down a bowl then called the flat manager and let him know. Needless to say, he wasn’t happy and told me it was the same as usual. So, I’m making sure the ceiling doesn’t lose its plaster and moving on.

Along with the ceiling leak, the sky was doing its own fair share. I don’t know if any of you say my Facebook post on me feeling cheated but now I feel even more so. The temperature has gone up and it looks like snow is definitely a far away dream. We may or may not have some of the white stuff for the holiday. Or it could be that it’s just waiting for son number 2 to arrive with his girlfriend. I’ll keep you posted. But pup Harry has been a happy excited dog, who is anxiously awaiting the arrival of his Dad this coming Tuesday.

This week, I’m sharing sexy seven paragraphs from my book The View From Santa’s Sleigh. I know I use it a lot but it is one of my favorite books and I just love the series. The final book should be out next year as I should be getting back to my regular writing schedule. I’ve grieved enough and it’s time to move on. Here’s the setup:

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.

This is was great book and series to write. I had to build a world with elves, then I related it back to Scotland and research on of the most wonderful places on earth. I’m happy with the result as the elves are part of my Scottish landscape. Here’s my sexy seven paragraphs. Need I say again that this is one of my favorite books to write…and I hope you find the wonder of Santa’s Elves and Scotland just as appealing as I do!

“Dare I ask?” she questioned.

“I wouldn’t if I were you…why don’t you lift your hips first…and then your arms.” He pushed the dress over her hips, capturing her arms inside when he pushed it over her head. Holding her arms up briefly, he leaned down to graze the top of her breasts with his lips. “So beautiful,” he murmured before pushing the fabric the rest of the way over her head and tossing it on the floor. He continued his assault on her breasts, which were pushed high with a bustier.

Tessa watched the top of his amber brown head and nearly jumped out of her skin when his lips were replaced by his tongue. Moaning, she strained to get even closer to him, arching her back in response to his seeking mouth. Slowly, his hands trailed down her stomach to rest at the top of her panties.

“Don’t stop there,” she murmured.

“I don’t intend to,” he replied and lifted his head. He gazed at her lips before leaning down and nibbling at the bottom one. Pulling her lip into his mouth, he sucked on it before tasting it again with his tongue like he’d done when they first woke up.

Tessa sighed and opened up to his explorations as his tongue leisurely explored the recesses of her mouth. Heat slowly began to build inside her until she could feel nothing but him, wanted nothing but him. Sitting up slightly, she ran her hands up his chest to rest on the top of his shoulders, kneading them gently before running her fingers through his hair. Breathless, she pulled back and looked into his azure-blue eyes.

“I want you,” she whispered. “I want you like I’ve never wanted anything in my life.”

Our Sexy Thanksgiving ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #LynnCrain

Welcome to week 69^th week of My Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is Our Sexy Thanksgiving. There was a lot of talk about the holiday and the movies that remind us of the holidays. Definitely some fun things there. Unfortunately, I don’t have one book set near the holiday of Thanksgiving. Gives me something to think about, that’s for sure.

The Chriskindlemarkts are in full swing now with the last of them opening this weekend. It just seems so wrong when those of us in the US haven’t celebrated Thanksgiving yet. But I’m celebrating it early because of friends from the States. My dear husband is off doing work so I was going to be alone. Some of his co-workers, whom I’ve become friends with, are here doing their part for an exercise being done in the Middle East. They decided we all needed to celebrate the holiday early. So today’s the day for me to get all the turkey I could ever want. LOL! Can’t wait.

And again, the big surprise has gone undone. I so, so apologize as it was me this week. Part of what I do every year is to get some surprises from the Chriskindlemarkts here and shipped them to where ever the winners may live. I still plan to do that but since I haven’t even purchased the gifts yet, I thought it was a little premature to talk about things I had no clue about. Hope you understand. Part of this fabulous weekend is doing just that. So far, I’ve visited two of the markets and plan on a few more. I know you’ll like what I have. So just a little more patience and all will be revealed.

I have decided that Austria doesn’t know what season it is yet. Some days are pleasant and much warmer than what one expects for winter. There were days that is was so gray, I wanted to bury my head under the pillow. Other days, snow clouds hung in the sky and did nothing. Just made everyone realize that it hasn’t snowed yet. I’m expecting that one soon. Now today, is back to a gray day but I’m still chipper since we’re doing Thanksgiving. Pup Harry has been snarkier than usual since he hurt his leg but otherwise is a very happy dog. Even he will enjoy the turkey.

Longmire fans got the news we had been hoping for…Netflix picked up our beloved series for another season…Season 4 will be short, only 10 episodes, but it’s coming in 2015. Can you say happy dance? I can’t wait to see what all is going to happen with that much beloved series. Again…gotta love those cowboys…and let’s not forget those Indians!

This week, I’m sharing another sexy seven paragraphs from my book The Thing About Elves. Like I said, not much in the way of a Thanksgiving theme in any of my books but these characters have a lot to be thankful for but you’ll need to read the book to find out. Again, this is book two in the series and the hero is to die for. He’s a very sexy elf on the order of Legolas in the Lord of the Rings series or The Hobbit series. He’s sexy and there’s a woman on his horizon who sees right past the sexy façade to the man beneath. And what’s even more wonderful…it’s on sale for just $0.99! Here’s the setup:

It’s been two years since Angie’s friend, Tessa, got married to Jedrick and introduced her to his brother, Ardan. From the moment, she saw him she knew he was the man for her. There’s only one problem…he’s elf…an elf who swears human and elves don’t mix. But Angie has other plans in mind. When Ardan asks her to his house after the delivery of Tessa’s and Jedrick’s twins, she jumps at the chance. Even though he keeps telling her nothing will happen, they have been doing this dance for a very long time. And when she teases him by caressing his body, Ardan knows he’s lost. But love and commitment are more than just hot sex.

Ardan still doesn’t trust human women and Angie is determined to prove that she is the woman…the only woman…for him. She loves medicine, the North Pole and him more than anything else in the world. When Ardan is summoned to help a hurt elf, he is unavailable and Angie goes in his stead to prove to him that she loves the community of elves as much as he does. But something goes terribly wrong and Ardan is left to care for a comatose and possibly dying Angie. Ardan realizing just how precious this woman is, vows to prove to her his love is fathomless. No matter what the future holds.

Need I say again that this is one of my favorite books to write. I loved the world I created with these elves and the North Pole. It was fun to write and flowed naturally. Don’t forget to pick up your copy here. I enjoyed writing it and doing the series…hope you feel the same way!

Ardan pulled her tighter. “It’s the northern lights, the Aurora Borealis.”

“You mean the thing caused by the Earth’s magnetic field?” She looked at him through hooded lashes. He had to know just how much he affected her with his closeness. All her senses were on high sexual alert. It took everything in her to keep her heart from not beating out of her chest.

He continued to look at the light show for a few more minutes. “Yes, it’s caused by the magnetic field. But we tell another story about them.”

“And that is?”

He looked down at her then with troubled eyes. “We artic elves have a legend about lost lovers. Or maybe you would call them found.”

She grinned then. “What’s the legend?”

“In the realm of the first Earth, there were two elves. One always wanted to stay home and do everything he was told while his mate loved to help people. She would do whatever was necessary so her people could thrive and prosper. One day she was called away and while she was gone the eternal night that you mentioned had begun and she couldn’t find her way home. Her mate was so lost without her that he prayed for seven days and seven nights to the gods to bring her home. At the end of the seventh day, the night sky lit up with what we call the Aurora Borealis and she was able to find her way home by its light.”

I'm Too Sexy ~ @oddlynn3 #MySexySaturday #Saturday7 #LynnCrain

Welcome to week 68^th week of My Sexy Saturday. The week’s theme is I’m too sexy. While it’s hard to really put my finger on what this is about, I know it isn’t about the arrogant ones who think they are sexy and don’t have a prayer. There are a lot of these in the world. I can remember being followed by a few in my lifetime and not in a good way. Makes me shiver to think about it. No, this is about those men who know they are sexy and use it in such a good, good way. It’s all about the ones that you can’t take your eyes off of and somehow find yourself in a trapped elevator with them to realize that they are the nicest person. Or it’s about those who are sexy and fall hard for the person of their dreams.  And it seems I had the dates so totally wrong for my surprise…I am so, so sorry…sigh. But not all is lost.

Like I’d said last week, the Christmas season fast approaches, especially here in Vienna, Austria where all the Chriskindlemarkts officially start tomorrow. That’s right, you saw it right…November 16^th is the first day for really Christmas shopping her…and it’s so weird still for me. In the US, we have Thanksgiving first that prepares us for a glorious holiday season. Not so here. We go from Halloween to Christmas and the shopping begins mid-November and it’s something to behold. I’ll definitely be putting up pictures very soon. And I’ll be posting more about my elf books. The big surprise I was alluding to was actually scheduled for this coming week, November 18^th…and it involves prizes…good prizes. So stop by to see what all I have in store for you.

Austria has been pretty good this week. No days that were extremely cold or wet. But that all changed this morning. While the temp was good, the wind chill halved it and tells me what all is in store this coming week. Rain is predicted for tomorrow and I’m betting they are right from the looks of today’s skies. It was dull and gray and made me wonder when it was just going to open up. Even pup Harry was shivering a little this morning, which is something that is out of character when he’s on the move. Just stopping made him unhappy on today’s walk.

Longmire fans got the news we had been hoping for…Netflix is in negotiations to bring us season 4 of our beloved series…but don’t be jumping up and down just yet. There are lots of things to be worked out and it won’t be a done deal until the ink is on the page. Still, don’t forget to following their #hashtag here on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/hashtag/LongLiveLongmire and you can search the same #hashtag #LongLiveLongmire on Twitter. The stampede is great and still going strong. Gotta love those cowboys. So drop by when you can and see what’s up with the Posse.

This week, I’m sharing a sexy seven paragraphs from my book The Thing About Elves. This is book two in the series and the hero is to die for. He’s a very sexy elf on the order of Legolas in the Lord of the Rings series or The Hobbit series. He’s sexy and he knows it and most of the time he just flaunts it a little. Too bad there’s a woman on his horizon who sees right past the sexy façade to the man beneath. And what’s even more wonderful…it’s on sale for just $0.99! Here’s the setup:

It’s been two years since Angie’s friend, Tessa, got married to Jedrick and introduced her to his brother, Ardan. From the moment, she saw him she knew he was the man for her.

This is one of my favorite books to write. I loved it and the elf I was basing him on. It was fun to write and flowed naturally. Don’t forget to pick up your copy here. I enjoyed writing it and doing the series…enjoy!

“Are you sure it’s that? Maybe it’s my quick wit or sexy body that’s thrown you off?” She leaned into him. “Surely, you can’t resist me forever.”

Ardan snorted. Resist, indeed. “Madam, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

“Sure you do. You just don’t want to admit it, big boy. You want me.” She closed her eyes as if breathing in his scent just like he had done moments before when he had his back turned to her. “And I want you.”

Slowly, she slid a finger up his leg and under his lab coat. If that hand or finger went an inch higher, she would know that he lied. Still, he tried to will his body to obey his commands. Human women were off limits. Angie’s hand continued its journey up his leg and he knew he was lost. How was he going to explain this?

She leaned back, looked up and chuckled. “What do we have here?”

Ardan almost felt physically sick. He hadn’t let a human woman touch him since college and here this one was practically in his pants. He cleared his throat. “I don’t know what you mean.”

“And you call yourself a doctor?” She stood on tiptoes and pulled him down to her. “Maybe I’ll have to teach you,” she whispered in his ear as her tongue snaked out and gently caressed the flesh.
