Are you guys excited or what!!! 😀

And… there! Hot Model Mine book 3, entitled “The Hotter the Love”, is done at 36K. Whew, I’m exhausted but lovin’ it ❤

It’s been some kind of struggle writing this book because I’ve kept jumping on other projects lately, but now I’m very, very happy to say the story of erotic romance author Andrea and the sexy cover model of her book, Yushka, has got its deserved finale 🙂

You can read more information about the book and follow its process toward release – hopefully in fall 2016 – on this new page.

Fabulous news! Both of my books, Mine to Love and Girl Code, have been nominated to the final voting round in the Romance Reviews Readers’ Choice Awards – Summer 2016.

Now they need your help to win in each their category, so if you have a minute to click on the following links and vote, my co-authors (DC Stone, Cait Jarrod, and Jessica Jayne) and I are very grateful:

MINE TO LOVE: vote here

GIRL CODE: vote here

Voting ends April 30. Thank you! 🙂

Great news for a striving author – today, I have signed yet another contract. My dark erotic M/M short story Get Off Hard will be published in Evernight Publishing’s anthology Dark Captive: Manlove Edition in May 2016.

I have dreamed of having a story included in their anthologies for several years, and now my dream has become reality. As for the genre, dark erotic romance is a difficult one to write, but it isn’t new to me. I used some of its elements in my debut novel, the crime drama/thriller Wild Hearted, and LOVED it 😀

I’m very happy to announce my erotic M/M short story Get Off Hard has been accepted by Evernight Publishing for their “Dark Captive – Manlove Edition” anthology – to be released in May 2016. More info soon!

Hi everyone!! I hope you’ve all had a fantastic holiday 🙂

After two weeks in paradise, I’ve come home to snow and cold weather… and this absolutely gorgeous readers’ award. I’m more humled and touched than words can tell.

Thank you, dear readers; Thank you, fabulous team at Evernight Publishing; and best wishes for the New Year! ❤

Thank you, thank you, thank you for your votes. After 3 years as an Evernight Publishing author, I’m humbled and very happy to win my first Evernight’s  Readers’ Choice Award! ❤

Check out the pretty badge:

Hey everyone!

Are you the kind that gets inspired by a well-composed, colorful or artistic black/white image to do special things—travel, cook, buy a new dress, paint, have a baby (or make a baby, lol), see a film, get politically active, or hey, read a book?

I’m the kind that, upon seeing a particularly good pic of a particularly stunning guy, will be inspired to write a book. Yes, you heard me right. I see a heart-melting grin in a pretty face, I see dark eyes sparkling of mischief, I see some naked, tanned, well-shaped flesh, and boom! A new character whispers his name and desires to me, his dramatic and oh-so-romantic story unfolds in my mind, and the insane things he’d like to do to the beautiful woman—or man—of his dreams run through me as if he and I were one.

Read more about my inspiration here. Thanks to All Romance eBooks Café for hosting me!

A big thank you to all those who participated in the blog hop and commented on my post. It’s nice to read so many nice things about my publisher!

The lucky winner of my prize – an ebook copy of my first Evernight book, My Biggest Fan, AND an ebook copy of my last, Mine to Love – is:

Heather Datta

Congratulations, Heather! I’ll be in touch with you shortly 🙂

It’s been an incredible week since the release of my latest book, Mine to Love. I have visited over twenty lovely bloggers so far, and I’m planning on stopping by at fourty more blogs in the next few weeks. Talk about mass support 🙂

In addition, the book has been blessed with four 5-star ratings and heartwarming words of praise and encouragement:

“This book was even better than the first…”

“Mine to Love is a smoking hot but still sweet story…”

“The way she connects deeply with her characters gets me every time…”

“I loved the first story, and this one is such as good…”

To make these release days even more surreal, two of my previous books have been nominated to the final voting round in “The Romance Reviews Readers Choice Awards – Winter 2015.”

Wow, guys – I truly don’t know how to thank each and every one of you for helping promote my writing!

The first nomination round has ended, and both of my competing titles, The Perfect Shoot and High-Risk Fever, have each moved on to the next and final voting round.

So, here’s a big THANK YOU to all those who took the time to nominate them!! You guys seriously rock 🙂

Thanks to readers like you, Evernight Publishing has grown by leaps and bounds in five years so they’re pulling out all the stops and throwing an extreme BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION BLOG HOP in your honor!

That’s right! It’s Evernight’s birthday but YOU get the presents…

Prizes include:

Apple Watch Sport

NEW Kindle Paperwhite

Fitbit Flex

Evernight, Amazon, and ARe Gift Certificates

Plus, each author on the hop will offer his/her own special prize!

I’m honored to celebrate this momentous occasion with Evernight. Here’s a look at my first Evernight title and my latest release:

Shawn Torien is a handsome, arrogant bassist with the groove rock band Bloodless. At thirty four, he’s seen everything, been everywhere, and all is handed to him on a silver plate, groupies included.

His rock star attitude is questioned when the record company’s young webmistress Samantha joins the band to cover their life on the road. As she has crushed on Shawn for years, he takes great pleasure in teasing her and pushing her away… until he learns about the woman beneath the surface.

The writing conference in sunny Cannes was fantastical, a dream. Back at home, reality catches up with author Andrea Johnson and the sexy cover model of her book, Yushka. With tough working schedules, challenging family relations, and seductive temptation from all sides, the couple’s explosive romance is put to the test. 

Will their love be strong enough to have a future?

My personal birthday wish to Evernight:

As a self-published writer, it was an overwhelming experience to sign with Evernight two years ago and have my first book released by a “real” publishing house. The massive support from fellow authors was truly heartwarming, and I praise the staff at Evernight for their professionalism, patience, and absolute kindness.

Evernight, thank you for welcoming me into your family. You rock, and I wish you many more years of successful publishing!

My blog prize: One lucky winner gets an ebook copy of My Biggest Fan AND an ebook copy of Mine to Love!

Book two of the Hot Model Mine trilogy is finally here! Did you wonder what happened to erotic romance author Andrea and her irresistible cover model, Yushka, after the conference in Cannes?

In book one, The Perfect Shoot, things were complicated for the couple. He was much younger than her—practically the same age as her twins—and she’d spent half her life without a man. After much reflection, she ended up giving into her desire and taking Mr. Hot Model for lover. But what then after they traveled back to their separate lives?

Wait no more: They’re here to tell the continuation of their sizzling love story 🙂
 

The writing conference in sunny Cannes was fantastical, a dream. Back at home, reality catches up with author Andrea Johnson and the sexy cover model of her book, Yushka. With tough working schedules, challenging family relations, and seductive temptation from all sides, the couple’s explosive romance is put to the test. Will their love be strong enough to have a future?

So here’s the beautiful cover for my upcoming release – the erotic contemporary interracial/multicultural romance Mine to Love, book #2 in the Hot Model Mine trilogy and the sequel to the award-winning The Perfect Shoot.
