Dina Rae at Dina Rae’s Write Stuff has been running an extra special erotic week on her blog and today was the turn of our Publisher Justyn Perry to take the spotlight. I think you will enjoy his interview. I know we did, plus it’s awesome to see our boss taking the spotlight with this interview!!

Here is an excerpt:

How many sex scenes does a book need to have before it is considered erotica?

It’s not so much the sex scenes but the story. If a story has sex and no story or plot behind it, then it’s considered Erotica. If it has a plot or story behind it with sex, then it’s erotic. If it’s story/plot with love/romance in it, then it’s romance. A good tell is if you can remove the sex from a story. Does the story still survive or does it fall flat. If it falls flat, then its considered erotica, if it can stand on it’s own, its considered erotic.

Thanks to Dina for hosting Justyn

Libra Unbound 2x3

We want to say a massive thank you to Heather from Heather’s Musings for giving this fantastic review of Libra Unbound . She has given us special permission to share with our reviewers today. We hope you enjoy the book and check it out for your own reading pleasure.

Izzy discovers a Libran law professor is nowhere near as fusty as he first appears. But as she graduates his sex ed class, she learns it’s a question of who is teaching who.

Izzy is more than halfway through the Zodiac signs and hasn’t found the perfect man for her yet. She decides to give Felix the benefit of the doubt, even though her girl friends and Jack Weston advise her against it. He comes with baggage but she is ok with that, at least in the beginning.

Izzy and Felix enjoy each other’s company but he is a little more reserved than she would like. She is determined to take their relationship to the next level so she plans her attire accordingly; little did she know that wasn’t going to be necessary? He may be reserved in public but he’s a tiger in the bedroom.

Everything is going according to Izzy’s plan until they are startled by a noise at the bedroom door. Nothing could prepare her for the sight that met her eyes. She was mortified and ran away, never looking back. She gave Jessica full credit for her predictions about Libras.

Through the Zodiac project, Izzy has experienced some things she never would’ve thought possible. She is more comfortable with herself and confident in her abilities in and out of the bedroom. She has had her ups and downs throughout this experiment but nothing compares to what happened that night at Felix’s home. She has put the episode behind her and is ready to move on to Scorpio, maybe he will be “the One.”

I enjoyed this installment and look forward to the next installment. I give Libra Unbound 3½ Flaming Hearts.

Excerpt:

“You look fabulous, if I may say so.”

“You certainly may.” She returned the smile and eased herself into the car.

Instead of closing the door, Felix bent down beside her. He pulled the seat belt from behind her shoulder and draped it provocatively across her, then strapped her into place in a way that made Izzy unexpectedly think of bondage.

“No escape now,” he said with a twinkle in his eye and smiled at her again.

Then he leaned in and brushed his lips gently against hers.

“And what makes you think I’d want to escape, Professor Silverman?”

“Professor, eh? That’s what I like to hear. Now, Isobel, are you going to be a good girl or a naughty girl tonight?”

Without waiting for an answer, Felix closed the door and strolled round the front of the car, peering mischievously over the top of his glasses in the light from the headlamps. Izzy felt a ripple of pure, wicked delight.

On the short drive to the restaurant, Felix’s gaze kept wandering across to her legs. The third time, he spoke.

“I’m sorry, Miss Morgan, but that skirt is against regulations.”

“Really, sir? What regulations are those?”

“The Silverman regulations. Rule number one: inspection. I have to make sure that all students’ legs are up to the task ahead of them.”

Izzy slipped out of her shoes and rested her bare feet on the dashboard. Slowly she teased her skirt up her leg with one finger, until the curving sweep of her thigh was exposed.

“So do these pass inspection, sir?”

“Oh my God—you’re sensational,” he said, his gaze fixed on Izzy’s naked flesh. Then for a moment their eyes met, and they broke out in a fit of giggles.

“We’re never going to make it to the restaurant if we carry on like this.”

And suddenly the bookish law lecturer was back.

Over dinner, Felix was the model of good manners, respectful and attentive, but somehow more reserved in public, and Izzy found herself wanting to be alone with him again, to see if the man of mischief would emerge once more.

At the end of the meal, Felix reached across the table and laid a gentle hand on top of hers.

“Would you like a nightcap? Back at mine?”

Izzy enjoyed a moment of satisfaction and pleasure: he had made the first move after all.

“That would be lovely,” she said.

Virgo Unveiled 2x3

We want to say a massive thank you to Heather from Heather’s Musings for giving this fantastic review of Virgo Unveiled . She has given us special permission to share with our reviewers today. We hope you enjoy the book and check it out for your own reading pleasure.

While meeting with the Zodiac club, Amy tells her she has the perfect Virgo for her and he is still a virgin. Izzy has conflicted feelings about meeting this guy because he is several years younger than she is.

She has Amy set up a covert meeting so she can check him out. She agrees to meet him for coffee and is stunned when he admits that he set her up rather than the other way around. He knows all about the Zodiac club, he only has the summer and isn’t looking for a long term commitment.

As the summer progresses Izzy introduces him to the world of pleasure. He is young but very responsive and eager to learn. The agreement was no strings attached but Izzy can’t help but feel sad that the summer is coming to an end. Theo has a special surprise for her for their last night, one she won’t likely forget.

Izzy was sad to see the summer end but Jessica helped her put everything in perspective. She is now halfway through the Zodiac and she is ready to see where the next sign will take her.

Izzy is enjoying the experiment but at times it does feel a little clinical to her. She is surprised at how much she is willing to try and how much she is learning about herself through this process.

Overall I enjoyed this installment of the Zodiac series but I wished that there was more detail of their time together than the overview we received. I give Virgo Unveiled 3½ Flaming Hearts.

Excerpt:

As she turned the corner at the end of his street, she saw him bending into the trunk of the car, and she paused to admire his tight buttocks. Her heart gave a little flutter as she realized that last night–that last fabulous night–she had clutched his flesh in her hands for the final time, and now all she would take away from their magical month were a fond farewell and a bunch of wonderful memories.

He extricated himself from the boxes in the trunk and stood up. When he saw her at the corner, his face broke into a wide smile, and he hurried to meet her, then wrapped his arms around her tightly.

“I see you’ve started without me,” she said, waving a hand at the heavily loaded car.

“Almost finished, actually.”

Theo slammed the trunk shut and squeezed the key fob to lock it. He took Izzy’s hand and led her into the building, where she followed him up the winding stairs, staring longingly at his boyish legs one step ahead of her. At the door to the apartment, she could see the place had been stripped pretty much bare.

“Do you mind giving it one last look round to check I haven’t missed anything?” asked Theo, ushering her in front of him.

Izzy glanced into the kitchen, the bathroom, the living room. It was all spotlessly clean–much cleaner than when he had moved in, she suspected–and it reflected the meticulous care and attention that she had grown to appreciate in her young Virgo. When she pushed open the bedroom door, she was surprised to see the room in relative darkness, the curtains drawn against the day.

She soon realized why. The bed was still draped in those white satin sheets they’d picked out together a couple of weeks back, and the sheen of the satin shimmered in the dim light of a single candle. A vase of tall-stemmed white roses stood on the nightstand, and a miniature bottle of champagne was framed by two fluted glasses beside it.

“Wow,” Izzy said, impressed, then turned to face him, close behind her in the doorway. “I think you might have missed something in here.”

He smiled at her. “I don’t think so. I think this is exactly how I meant it to be.”

He reached forward and brushed a stray hair from her face before stroking her cheek and drawing her closer to him. As their lips met, Izzy closed her eyes and gave herself up to the surge she felt rising inside her. Maybe she’d been wrong about last night being their final physical farewell. Maybe there was time for just one more…

Reviews for A Soldier’s Woman by Ava Delany:

Janelle seems like an actual young woman who you can identify with, and realistic that she doesn’t have an amazing skinny body or is ‘super’ pretty… It’s only a short book but definitely one I would read again. Can’t recommend enough.” ~ Alaine, Alaine’s Blog (Anna Winters)

Ron leaving to join the army was upsetting, and you can really feel the fondness between the characters at this point. I can’t wait to get my hands on the next in the series now!” ~ Dee, Love Books? Blog Books!

Reviews for The Soldier’s Return by Ava Delany:

It’s a feel good book, and just like the first book, I highly recommend this book. I think I will be reading more Ava Delany as she still has a fresh writing style that I haven’t seen to this high standard in any other book.” ~ Alaine, Alaine’s Blog (Anna Winters)

I found this very sexy. From the moment he arrives you feel the heat and passiion. The end is sweet and heartwarming.” ~ Cathy, The Cat’s Meow

Leo Licked 2x3

We want to say a massive thank you to Heather from Heather’s Musings for giving this fantastic review of Leo Licked . She has given us special permission to share with our reviewers today. We hope you enjoy the book and check it out for your own reading pleasure.

zzy has been on several dates with her chef and is ready to call an end to the Zodiac club, until she has a run in with the paparazzi. She calls it quits with Quincy J. Lawrence and decides to continue with the project.

Over the last few months, Izzy has learned more about herself, what she likes and how far she is willing to push her limits. She is more open to new experiences and is getting to meet some interesting people that she may have never talked to before.

Izzy is granted the opportunity of a life time when she is chosen as the event photographer for Sheer Heart Attack. She isn’t an expert in concert photography but she is excited about the opportunities it could bring her way. As she photographs each band member, she catches herself going over their “attributes”. There is something about Shark that draws her in and doesn’t let her go.

After the concert Izzy catches the band playing around after their showers and gets some very “candid” shots of the guys. Shark invites her to have a private photo session with her; little did she know she was going to literally be the one in the spotlight.

I loved Izzy’s descriptions of each of the band members from a photographer’s perspective. I love photography and her descriptions were really powerful. Izzy got to play rock groupie and adoring fan to Shark while she worshipped his body on stage after the concert. Best part of her interlude with Shark, he’s a Leo. They can mark that sign off the list and go to the next one, Virgo.

Overall I enjoyed this installment in the Zodiac series and can’t wait for Virgo. I give Leo Licked 3½ Flaming Hearts.

Excerpt:

The whole band was there, laughing and drinking beer from bottles and flicking towels at oneanother after their post-gig showers, revealing still-wet torsos and playful glimpses of bare thighs.

Twenty feet away, as if chancing on a group of rare creatures gamboling in the wild, Izzy stopped and watched, tucking herself back round the corner so as not to be spotted. She reached behind her back for the camera that was slung from her shoulder and raised it to her eye.

Instantly the scene jumped closer, putting her right in among the dripping muscles and prancing feet. The drummer–the shortest and nimblest of the four–skipped between the rest, catching calves and flanks with his wound-up towel and giggling gleefully every time he hit home. The bassist and singer appeared to be doing their best to dodge him while simultaneously attempting to land their own strikes as he whipped past them.

Only Shark, his back to Izzy and leaning somewhat nonchalantly against the corridor wall beside an open dressing room door, seemed to be above the childish shenanigans, pretending to ignore these puerile antics and growling halfheartedly whenever the drummer approached him.

But he was stung into action when the drummer lunged suddenly toward him, grabbed the towel around his waist, and ripped it sharply away from him.

Izzy’s finger hit the shutter as two gorgeous buttocks–firm and manly and as tanned as the rest of his appealing figure–were exposed to her. From behind, he reminded her of nothing less than Michelangelo’s “David,” the boyishness of his curves reinforced by the clear definition of the gluteus maximus muscles.

As she shot off frame after frame with her finger depressed on the motorized shutter, she saw him snatch in vain as the drummer whisked the towel away then throw up his arms in mock exasperation and plant himself in a completely open stance.

“All right, boys. Get a good look. This is what the girls are all after.” And leaving his bandmates gasping with mirth and amazement, he turned on his heel and walked away. Directly toward Izzy.

The full width of the corridor still filled her field of vision through the camera lens, but there was only one focus for Izzy. All thoughts of Michelangelo vanished as Shark’s real-life marble stature grabbed her entire attention. David was, after all, a little on the small side in the proportion department. Shark, by contrast, was magnificent. The glistening chest muscles fed down into a six-pack of rippled perfection, then on to a beautifully delineated pelvis, adorned with lush golden hair and sprouting the most divine member Izzy had ever seen. Even in its unaroused, natural state, it was a glory to behold–proud and thick and immaculately formed.

Izzy was so busy staring at it that she didn’t notice Shark had stopped. “Getting some good shots?”

With a flush of mortification, she tore the camera from her eye and looked, humiliated, at the face of this naked Adonis. He spread his arms, raised an inquiring eyebrow, and showed not a hint of embarrassment. Behind him, the other three Hearts interrupted their frolics and turned to watch. For a moment of acute silence, Izzy waited to see what would happen next.

Then Shark nodded toward the dressing room door that stood open halfway between them.

“Come and have a private session, if you like.”
