I don't think I can possible say this enough. It's hot as hell. There are days, only the ones that end in Y, that I just don't want to leave my house. I actually groan and whine when I have to go to the store. Why? Because it's HOT AS HELL.

And whoever told me it was a good idea to be this pregnant in the dead of summer should be shot.

August is a big month in my house. Not only is my hubby's birthday in August, so is our Anniversary. I'm a present wrapping fool this month.

I have two releases coming at you this month. Maggie, Liz and I have a new series coming out with Samhain this month, The Wedding Dress series. They are three stories centered around the same dress. Maggie's is the first book in the series. It's a Western Historical, entitled Something Old, Something New. My story is the second book in the series. It's an Interracial Contemporary, entitled Something Borrowed, Something Blue, and Liz's is the third book in the series, a Futuristic, entitled A Six Pence In Her Shoe.

My other release is from Ellora's Cave, and it is a BBW book entitled Stud Muffin Wanted. I hope if you have a chance you'll pick them up.

Well I'm off to baste under the air conditioner. Stay cool and play nice with your battery-operated toys.

Studd Muffin Wanted
Coming this week from www.ellorascave.com

After taking a magazine sex quiz, Karon Bower is close to tears. Out of fifty questions, she could only say yes to experiencing five. Following her best friend Jacque's advice, Karon decides to go through the quiz and list everything she wants to try.

Several glasses of wine and a plate of Alfredo later, Karon and Jacque come up with twenty-seven things she wants to do, thirteen things she might do and five things she wouldn't do at gunpoint. Her quest for a Stud Muffin seems all in good fun until an acquaintance comes over to her table and offers to fulfill her list.

If anyone had ever told Tristan Dodson that sexy, full-figured Karon was in dire need of an orgasm, he wouldn't have believed them. She's one of the hottest and smartest women he knows, and the very thought of her never having experienced oral pleasure made him speechless not to mention choking on his ravioli. Tristan had been looking for a way to expand the boundaries of their friendship and Karon's overheard little list seems just the ticket. Now all he needed to do was convince her he was her Stud Muffin.

Something Borrowed, Something Blue
Coming this month from www.samhainpublishing.com

(Also look for Maggie Casper's book, Something Old, Something New and Liz Andrews' book, A Six Pence In Her Shoe)

As half owner of Something Borrowed Something Blue, one of the hottest wedding consulting firms in Los Angeles, Azure Kerr has seen the best of what love has to offer. A true romantic at heart, Azure is surprised when love in the guise of one sexy stranger, Gavin Conner, comes knocking on her door.

Azure knows that a relationship with Gavin will never work, because while she's completely drawn to him the last thing she needs in her life is a man with a 'once burnt, twice shy attitude'. But Gavin isn't giving up on the headstrong beauty, and before Azure knows it their entangled in an passionate romance.

When browsing in antique store, Azure comes across a rare find, an antique wedding dress in mint condition. The more she delves into the history of the dress, the more agitated Gavin becomes, but not for the reason Azure thinks. Instead of being upset because she's bought a wedding dress, Gavin is upset Azure purchased a wedding dress for her future groom.

Gavin may not want to get married, but if Azure thinks she's marrying someone else, she's got another think coming.

Uhhh.....I've got nothing. My only excuse is that it's really freaking hot. I'll try to do better this month.

Something New

A woman discovers that when it comes to love, sometimes opposites really do attract in this romantic comedy-drama. Kenya (Sanaa Lathan) is a successful African-American lawyer in her mid-thirties whose personal life is not going as well as her career. While she's attractive and intelligent, Kenya has rather high standards and isn't willing to settle for a man who isn't everything she wants. While attending a party, Kenya is introduced to Brian (Simon Baker), a landscape architect who handles the gardening at her host's mansion. Brian is immediately and obviously attracted to Kenya, though she doesn't feel the same way at all. However, she likes his work and hires him to refurbish her garden; before long, he asks her out on a date, and against her better judgment she accepts. While Kenya and Brian have little in common, in time they hit it off, and a romance begins to blossom between them. However, Brian happens to be white, which ruffles some feathers among Kenya's friends and family, who try to find her a more suitable, African-American suitor

Stud Muffin Wanted

"So what do bad girls like you do with boys in parked cars?"

"Anything they want."

Tristan liked the sound of that. Leaning over the console again, Karon brushed her lips across Tristan's neck as she slid her hand teasingly against his chest.

"Do you want to get in the backseat," he asked, trying to recall if that line had ever worked for him in high school.

"What can we do back there that we can't do up here?"

"A lot."

"No," Running her hand down his chest to the buckle of his pants, Karon caressed the outline that his hard cock was making. Christ they hadn't even done anything and he was hard as steel. "I think we should stay right where we are."

Tristan gripped her hand in his, pressing it down firmly down on his crotch, just in case she didn't get the hint. "You might want to reconsider."

"And why is that?"

"Because it's going to be awful hard to fuck you in this seat."

"I'd say it's hard." Giving him a teasing look, Karon squeezed his cock firmly, "but we don't have to get into the back seat to have fun."

Karon wiggled her hand under his, until Tristan released his hold on her. When her hand was free, Karon began to unbuckle his belt all the while maintaining eye contact. She had freed his cock from the confines of his pants, all while Tristan watched her silently, wondering what his little vixen was up to.

"There's a lot more room in the back," he tried again, biting back a groan when she began to slide her hand leisurely up and down his ridged shaft

"Just because you're the most popular boy at our school doesn't mean I'm going to let you have your way with me."

"I thought you were the bad girl."

"I changed my mind. I think good girls have more fun. I know I'm having a great time now."

"I'm having a better one."

Karon's husky chuckle sent a surge through his already aching cock. Tristan would have never thought that a simple hand job could feel so good. The roles had quickly reverted, and he was the one holding on to dear life for control as she teased him unmercifully.

Hell, it was like high school all over again. The evening was becoming a bit to nostalgic for him now.

"Come on Karon, let's get in the back. I want to feel more than your hand surrounding me. I want you."

"You got me."

"Fine, I want your hot sweet pussy."

"What will you give me if I go back there with you?"

Nine inches didn't seem like the thing to say, although it was exactly what Tristan was thinking. "Pleasure."

"You're not enjoying this?"

"I'm enjoying it immensely. But not as much as I would enjoy fucking you."

Bringing her hand once more slowly to the tip of his cock, Karon ran her fingers around his slick head, before bringing them to her mouth to taste. "I'll race you to the back, the last one there is on the bottom."

Chuckling, as Karon quickly opened her door and got out, Tristan tried to stuff his arousal back in his pants. "No fair," he called over his shoulder when Karon dove in the backseat. "You had an unfair advantage."

"How's this for an advantage?" Karon leaned over and nipped his ear, dropping a silk scrap of material in his lap.

Yelping at the sting of pain, Tristan pulled away, amused by her girlish behavior. Karon was coming out of the sheltered shell she'd formed around herself and Tristan was happy he was along for the ride.

As he opened the car door, the car light came on, shinning brightly on the red slip of silk in his lap. Picking it up, Tristan chuckled when he realized that they were her panties and glanced over his shoulder to Karon, who was looking demur and smug all at the same time. "Did you forget something?"

"No those are yours. I thought all boys wanted a trophy of their conquests."

"So true." Tristan leaned forward and draped the panties over his rearview mirror, showing off his prize of the night.

"Tristan," Karon gasped, her eyes alight with humor. "You can't leave them there."

"Yes I can. All of us bragging boys do." Slipping out the car, Tristan quickly closed the driver door as he opened the back seat passenger door, trying to disappear inside the car without being extremely obvious.

The plan of course didn't work. And as he leaned out to close the door, horns honked, light flashes, and voices rang out their approval. Tristan chuckled. Some things never really changed.

I'm running out of room and out of steam, lol. If anyone has any questions or comments feel free to drop me a line at lena@lenamatthews.com.
