Another fantastic review for The Perfect Shoot!

“I really enjoyed watching Andrea and Yushka fall in love.  Truly I did but there were parts of the book that didn’t set right with me.  Especially the photographer and the photo shoot.  If I had been Andrea I would have bolted but I understood why Ms. Bronsen wrote the scene.  Trust me when you read it, you will understand her side and mine.

What I really enjoyed was Ms. Bronsen’s descriptions of the conference itself.  She wrote it from experience and who wouldn’t want to go to France.  ;)  She nailed the setting, descriptions and the ins and outs of the conference itself.
The side plots with her sons and their father were excellent as well.  Those phone calls explained alot of Andrea’s personality and feelings.  Especially when it came to her hesitation with being with Yushka.  I’d feel the same way.  And my husband is 7 years younger than me.  Trust me…people are shocked when they find that out.
I will say that when those two finally get to together its explosive.  Oh yes, there is the private photo shoot but that’s just a teaser.  I found the book to be spicy, not truly erotic in nature.  There is plenty of teasers before the deed is done but that’s where Ms. Bronsen was brilliant in her writing.  The build up, the emotions between them was well worth the pay off in the end.
Just because I had issues with one thing in the book, don’t put off reading this one.  In the end, Ms. Bronsen will open your eyes to the ultimate fantasy…falling in love with a cover model and he loving you back.  *sigh*”

Color of Love Blog Hop

It’s that time of the year where we celebrate our love for characters of color in romantic fiction in the Color of Love Blog Hop.

I personally love everything exotic, from too-hot places in the southern hemisphere to their gold skinned inhabitants with rich, sexy accents and dark, smoldering eyes. Out of my admiration was born a book character – young sex-on-legs Yushka, a popular photo model and ladies’ man from central Asia. He’s getting tired of fleeting relationships when a beautiful, grown woman squeezes into a packed elevator with him at a publishing conference in France. Every hot-blooded cell in him awakes at their sudden intimacy, and in the next days, he’ll seize any opportunity to show his desire for her. But will she return the fervor?

Fantastic 5-star review for The Perfect Shoot!!

“Set at an author conference in Cannes, this is the story of 38-year-old romance writer Andrea and her cover model, 23-year-old Yushka.

When Andrea sees him fondling the conference organiser she recognises him immediately. He’s the boyishly handsome model on the cover of her latest book. Andrea has spent the last 18 years single-handedly raising her twin boys, so she’s had little time for love.

When a crowded lift and a pushy friend pre-empts the introduction she’d planned for the Meet and Greet session, she feels like a teenager again.

The chemistry sizzles between them from the beginning, but she’s concerned by the age difference, and after waiting 18 years, the last thing she wants is a quickie in  a  hotel restroom.

The more they are thrown together at the conference, the greater the heat between them. As Andrea struggles to reconcile her attraction to a man only 4 years older than her sons, Yushka is determined to prove to her he wants more than just a one night stand.

When a steamy photo shoot turns dangerously realistic, Andrea can no longer fight the sizzling chemistry between them.

Packed with scorching heat and realistic emotional turmoil, this book is a must read with a satisfying happy ending.”

Hot off the press: HIGH-RISK FEVER, an Erotic Ménage

My first novel with Decadent Publishing was released a few weeks ago. I’m incredibly happy to see it published as I started it all the way back in the spring of 2013, in response to an erotica anthology call. The antho didn’t happen, but I continued writing, broadening my genre spectrum from hetero erotica to GLBT and ménage. Though I’d already told the story of a gay boy in my debut novel Wild Hearted, describing full-on gay acts and choreographing steamy foursome scenes so long they spanned over several chapters was a new experience and quite the challenge! *laughs* I hope you enjoy this wild ride of mine as well 🙂

Two young and indecently handsome bicyclists visit a village in the French Alps during the summer holidays. Forced by a raging storm to spend the night at the local bed & breakfast, they invade the quiet lives of hostess Anne and her husband, Brian.

A power outage plunges the foursome into darkness, encouraging new liaisons to form, life-long secrets to be unveiled, and steamy lessons to be learned. But once the storm moves on, can the four find a balance and resume their normal lives?

EXCERPT:

Breathing deeply to calm her nerves, she approached the unfortunate bicyclist and bent to grab his handlebar.

Surely by pure coincidence, one of his gloved hands landed on hers, curling strong fingers around her small ones and helping her pull until the bike stood upright between them.

Still, even as he stood on his feet, his hand lingered, holding hers firmly on the hard-plastic handle.

Anne looked up into his face, seeing him for the first time. How in the world had she missed such a jewel earlier? Among tanned, Latin features, a pair of black diamonds sparkling with mischief stared back without shame. His long, black locks were swept back in a ponytail, revealing a single golden earring in his left lobe. Large chest muscles heaved beneath a tight, pink spandex shirt, begging to be caressed by a woman’s hand, and black chest hairs peeked from the open collar.

Unable to believe the seductive intensity he exuded, she sucked in a breath and held it while the world narrowed. Her head buzzed. “What?”

“What?” The beautiful bicyclist used the same low tone, his full lips forming a teasing grin inches from her face. He was so near she could smell his hot breath. Intoxicating.

How had he come so close? And how long before her husband noticed?

Thankfully, Brian’s calm, indifferent voice rose behind her, addressing the blond bicyclist. “So you’re looking for a place to stay?”

“Yeah. We’ve already asked in several different villages on our way here.”

Anne tugged at her trapped hand and took a demonstrative step back. “Please.”

“Oh.” Feigning surprise, the dark beauty lifted an eyebrow and removed his hand, allowing her to retrieve hers. “Sorry,” he added, rolling a thick R with his tongue, keeping his lips parted a second too long. A move so deliberately naughty, her stomach knotted with need.

As she retreated, he studied her face with a grin, arrogance and amusement gleaming in his dark eyes, before turning his attention to the two other men.

Blood pulsing in her temples, she copied his movement.

Review: Five more stars for High-Risk Fever!!

Check out this amazing new review on Goodreads:

“Well…where do I begin. This book is hotter than the sand on a Florida beach on an August afternoon.

Anne loves her husband, but she feels like something is missing. Romance? Sensuality? Kink? And then two bicyclists land on their bed and breakfast doorstep and their lives take quite a turn. Lea does an amazing job of taking us into Anne’s mind and letting us see things through her eyes. This is a well written story that takes you on an adventure of sexual boundaries and self-discovery. If you are looking for a steamy read with an intriguing storyline, you don’t want to miss High-Risk Fever!”

High-Risk Fever “Hot read of the year”!

Check out the amazing 5-star review for my erotic ménage High-Risk Fever on Goodreads and Amazon!

“This book should really be nominated for Hot Read of the Year. It was engaging, full of sexy scenes, and on top of it all, there’s this suspense that lasts until the end of the book! You never know what’s going to happen, and every word keeps you with anticipation. I couldn’t put this down, and readers everywhere will feel the same. This is officially going down as my all time favorite book by Ms. Bronsen!”

Two 5-star reviews for High-Risk Fever!

I can only be humbled at these words:

“If you enjoy erotica, this story is perfect. Anne is an unsatisfied wife until a very hot Italian shows up at her door, leaving her very hot and confused all at the same time. Lea Bronsen’s descriptions were vivid and intense. I enjoyed every page and hopefully she’ll read this review and get to work on the sequel.”

– Kishan Paul

“I’ll admit this story is a little different reading than I usually do, but loving to read Lea Bronsen’s other works, I jumped at the chance to read this one. Lea has a natural ability in going deep into her character psych. This story is no different when Anne takes a exciting, daring journey of self discovery.”

– Cait Jarrod

Confidential interview with The Perfect Shoot heroine

Author Elyzabeth M. Valey interviews Andrea, aka. Cindy Vega, from new release The Perfect Shoot!

Elyzabeth: Morning my lovelies! Today I’ve got quite a treat for you (pun intended *grin*) Lea Bronsen has come in with her lead character, Cindy, from The Perfect Shoot (Hot Model Mine) and I’ve interviewed the latter.  Please give them a warm welcome!

Welcome Andrea or should I say, Cindy? Can you tell us a bit about your writing?

Cindy: Hi Elyzabeth! First off, thanks for having me here. I’m not used to being in the spotlight, but I’ll answer your questions the best I can. So, my writing. I’m an erotic romance writer, but you know how it is – some say it’s too sweet and romantic to be labelled erotic, and some say it’s too pornographic to be romance. *shakes head*

When Andrea Johnson, writing as author Cindy Vega, signed up for a Meet & Greet with the cover model of her latest book, she didn’t expect sparks to fly. Yushka is dangerously good-looking and too young for her. But their connection is instantaneous, and during a photo shoot with the two, the photographer picks up on their growing attraction. Seeing the potential for the cover photo of the century, he decides to push their comfort limits…
