SARA News - The joyful post

23/12/2012

 
There's a lot of happy getting around the SARA ranks at the moment - and it's not just the kind induced by eggnog and mistletoe.  Well, that's part of it and the stripper dressed as Rudolf, complete with harness, is certainly adding to the atmosphere, but...

The cause of this joyful shenanigans are impending NEW RELEASES!

Lillian Grant's HOT MALE, Reigning Men Volume Three, is coming out just in time for Christmas from LSB, so pop a santa hat on your ereader and get ready:

Picture
One man. One sensual dance. One night only to prove his love.

Michael wants Maggie. Maggie has Sam. Two’s company, three’s a crowd.

Years ago, Maggie tried to seduce Michael Monaghan, only to have her efforts rebuffed. Now she’s older, wiser, happily in love with Sam Stephens, and determined to keep her distance from Michael.

Michael Monaghan, hot male stripper, has all manner of women falling at his feet, except Maggie.  All he can do is watch from afar as Sam Stephens wins the heart of the one woman he really wants.

Sam Stephens is just tired of Michael watching Maggie’s every move.

Now there’s trouble with a capital T! Maggie’s Great-Aunt Maud has run off to Ireland with Michael’s Uncle Declan. Maggie needs to get to Aunt Maud and talk some sense into her before Declan’s gun-totting wife catches up with them. With Michael and Maggie off to Ireland together, Sam isn’t about to be left behind.

Tracking down the runaway lovers is complicated by the coldest winter in Dublin in years. With Michael, Maggie and Sam stuck in a house with only one bedroom, simmering sexual tension starts to boil over.

Michael wants Maggie. Maggie isn’t sure what she wants. Sam just wants to punch Michael in the nose.

Two’s company; three could be something else altogether. 


Pheww-eeeeee!  Sign me up!  OUT December 24th.

Carla Caruso, author of Cityglitter, has another book coming out in February 2013 with Destiny Romance.

It’s called Second Chance and is a romantic comedy involving 90s time travel – a kind of “Hot Tub Time Machine for girls”.

Doesn't that just sound awesome!  Big congrats to Carla!  Stay tuned for cover love and blurb wonderful.

Big shiny congrats are also due Tamara Gill--her medieval time travel romance, DEFIANT SURRENDER, is out now from Crimson Romance!  

Unlucky in love, Maddie St. Clair hides behind an antique store and her mudlarking hobby. That is until she finds a medieval ring that throws her back to 1102 Cumberland and into the life of Lady Madeline Vincent, heiress to Norman lands and about to be married to an autocratic Baron, William Dowell, nine hundred years her senior.
 
Lord William Dowell protects his own. Usually, from his closest neighbor and long standing foe the Baron of Aimecourt. Forced to marry his dead enemy’s daughter, Lady Madeline, by King’s decree, he hides his growing respect for his wife behind a wanton mistress. Yet when Madeline’s life is threatened, William’s loyalty to his kin is tested by the astonishing desire that flares between them. Not to mention the love that Madeline ignites that would last an eternity. If fate will allow . . .

Bronwyn Stuart's Scandal's Mistress is OUT NOW from Carina Press!

London, 1805

Justin Trentham, third son of the Earl of Billington, is determined to get himself disowned from his cold and unloving family. Despite his numerous affairs with questionable women of the ton, his parents continue to be dismissive of his ploys, but Justin spots the perfect scandal in the form of a beautiful, exotic Italian opera singer...

Carmalina Belluccini refuses to become his mistress, despite being tempted by his charms. But after losing her singing voice, she finds herself destitute. She agrees to be Justin's mistress for one month, until she has enough money to return to her beloved Italy.

She intends to keep their arrangement strictly business, but after witnessing Justin's vulnerable side, she finds herself falling more in love than in lust with him. Carmalina is having second thoughts about leaving England...but is their love strong enough to survive the scandal of the season?

Lillian Grant has a new release out - Go with the Flo, from Liquid Silver Books

Nineties girl Florence Spring joined Avon to find her Edward Scissorhands but instead needs to rescue his porno alter ego.

Blurb

When Florence notices her eccentric ex-boyfriend, Eddie, isn’t putting on his usual show in the front window on Friday night she decides to investigate.  She asks her best friend, Nelson Tyler, to help but he seems more interested in seducing Florence than in finding her personal flasher. Florence has no idea when she embarks on the adventure she will accidentally shoot an undercover policeman, or that her actions will lead to Nelson’s kidnapping.  Now with two men missing she has no choice but to continue and thwart the plans of a psychotic soon to be divorcee.  She needs to rescue Nelson because life without him is unbearable, especially since she’s discovered his long sensitive fingers are far more erotic than scissorhands.


Check it out at LSB and Amazon and congratulations, Lillian!

Lillian is over at Book N Kisses, talking about Male Review.

Tamara Gill has received a four-star review for A Marriage Made in Mayfair.

Here's an excerpt from the review by Cocktails and Books:
 
"...And the way all the characters interacted  just felt very real. The romance between Suzanna and Royce is fast paced and very entertaining. 

I give A Marriage Made in Mayfair four cocktails!"

Get your copy from Decadent Publishing.

Dy Loveday has a new release coming out in October with Liquid Silver Books:  Illusion - Book One of Daughters of the Abyss.

Scandal's Mistress, Bronwyn Stuart's debut novel, is due for release on August 13th, from Carina Press.  Given that Bronwyn spent quite some time carrying the contest diva tiara and sceptre, we're delighted that her name will finally and deservedly be on eshelves very soon!  And we love the cover!  Big congrats, Bron!

Bron must be squirming in her skin with excitement almost constantly these days--her wedding is also fast approaching!  Best wishes from all the SARA team to you and your family.
