Some of my favorite things about summer include all the little sensory delights I get to partake in that don't get to happen as much in winter. Everything's more relaxed, slow, colorful, and--personally--I find myself way more cheerful because of the little things. In the summer I can read outside on my deck surrounded by trees and sunlight while eating all manner of berries, melons, and other fruits that weren't seasonal in winter. I love the feeling of water as it's evaporating from my skin after a long dip in a pool. The taste of summer mojito while I'm surrounded by the city lights of Las Vegas for our annual summer trip. Too many good things to name them all come around summer time. A feast for the senses.
Which is why I've partnered up with Skye Warren for her Hot Summer Nights Erotica Blog Hop to give away lots of prizes in honor of my favorite season.
One lucky winner from all the comments throughout the blog hop will get a chance to win a 100$ gift card to Eden Fantasies, an adult sex shop online and an erotica goody basket including books from all the participating authors on the Hop. That's easily over a 300$ prize package, all for your opinion.
Also on offer is a free copy of my latest anthology with Xcite books, The Heat in Greece, including my steamy short story about an encounter between two strangers entitled, By Design.
Blurb:
An Xcite Collection of erotic short stories with mixed themes including contemporary, m/f, voyeurism, fem dom, menage, sex toys.The Heat in Greece by Bel Anderson
‘Don’t open your eyes,’ he says softly, his Greek accent sending shivers down my spine and his hand warm but persistent in the small of my back. ‘Trust me. Do not be afraid.’ How could a girl resist? Sun, sea, sand and … a virile young Adonis who is feeling just as maddeningly sexy as I am on this scorching Greek afternoon. Recklessly, I put my trust in this husky-voiced stranger and let him lead me blindly away from the beach and into the most deliciously sensual and orgasmic experience of my life. An experience that turns out to be all my fantasies rolled into one …
By Design by Elise Hepner
The last thing Elena, a bored, hotel desk clerk, expects on a slow day at work is a salacious note commanding her to meet a stranger in his room. The anonymous “Frank” describes in detail how he wants to watch Elena get off in front of him. The erotic possibilities are dangerous ‑ and wicked. Swayed by her recent break-up and her intense need to do something interesting with her life, Elena follows orders. And what she walks into changes her sexually forever.
As You Wish by Maggie Morton
Bari has given his wife a lovely anniversary gift ‑ complete sexual power over him for one night. It will be a night full of power and sex, a night where the power she receives over her partner shows Bari’s wife everything she’s been missing until then, including the right to do as she wishes to her husband, no matter what those wishes involve. But Bari doesn’t mind giving up his power, not in the least, and maybe, just maybe, his wife won’t mind taking it from him either.
Play It Again by Heidi Champa
The only way to celebrate your divorce is with a “re-bachelorette” party, or at least that’s what her friend Tammy has convinced her. But she really isn’t having a good time, surrounded by so many happy brides-to-be reminding her of what she once had. That’s until a handsome groomsman offers to reintroduce her to the sweetest of pleasure…
Melonhead by Giselle Renarde
When you’re a guy with brown skin, you don’t make it through airport security too easily. Jai’s luggage seems to get rifled through forty times per trip and that’s why he never brings along any of his sex toys. But Jai is a planner, and he knows a warm cantaloupe is heaven. His hotel room doesn’t have a microwave, so he reluctantly takes up the receptionist’s offer to heat up the contents of his big paper bag and bring it to his room. When she arrives, she isn’t alone. Jai has two female spectators, and they aren’t about to leave without a show.

Watching a group of hot guys play shirts and skins! The sport doesn't matter. What is shirts and skins you ask. It is when one team wears shirts and the other team does not. Their skin is their jersey! That is usually who I vote for.
ReplyDeleteThe sad thing is my 13 year old daughter is who told me what it was called! Makes me feel so old. I guess it is ok as long as I am not ogling teenage boys right?
