New Release: Thief of Hearts: Tempted in Thailand by EM Lynley

Thief of Hearts: Tempted in Thailand, by EM Lynley, is HOT off the press at Ravenous Romance today!

What do Thai mobsters, a map, and an ancient Ruby Buddha have in common? They're all major headaches for Trent Copeland!

Trent knows men like the handsome, hunky ones in the gay romances he writes don't really exist, but that doesn't stop him from wishing. When he travels to Thailand in search of inspiration for his next novel, he gets far more than he bargained for in the form of seemingly perfect Reed Acton.

Reed's mission is simple: get the treasure map by tomorrow or risk seriously pissing off the local thugs. Only problem is, it's wound up in the backpack of a hapless romance writer by mistake! A sexy, oh-so-irresistible romance writer.

One misadventure after another, and soon ruthless Thai mobsters are on their trail. Is Reed watching out for Trent, or are his motives darker than they seem?

They'll have to work together if they want to stay alive.

From the neon-lit streets of Bangkok's seedier side, to ancient caves deep in Thailand's sacred Northeast, Trent and Reed discover the most priceless treasure of all: each other.

Second Sight Dating
by Marianne Stephens
*FREE READ*

Blush: This is a suggestive romance (love scenes are not graphic).

Psychic Serena Xavier owns Second Sight Dating, a matchmaking business. Although successful in matching others, her "second sight" failed miserably in finding herself a trustworthy man.

Detective Dan Carrington becomes one of her clients as part of an undercover investigation. His job is to find out if her business is legitimate or a cover for a sex-for-hire scheme, possibly with mob connections.

All vibrations from Dan lead Serena to believe he's being honest with her. Upon catching him snooping through her files, she has to consider the possibility that he's a gigolo looking to secure clients through her business. Despite doubts about each other's honesty, a growing attraction leads to a night of passion. Serena wonders who he really is, as Dan ponders her true business motives.

Unexpected

by Lynn LaFleur

Finding a spaceship with a little purple alien inside wasn’t on Linc Carter’s birthday wish list. Holding that alien in his arms is the best present he ever received.

Chandra knows nothing about this strange world, its language or customs. She knows how she feels when she’s in Linc’s arms and she doesn’t want that to change. Maybe crashing on this planet hadn’t been a mistake after all.

Author Spotlight and Bi-Weekly Contest

I know it's been a while since my last blog post, but I have a good excuse. I'm so very excited because I've been working hard on turning my blog into an "official" book blog, complete with a new layout and, more importantly, setting up a weekly author spotlight segment and bi-weekly follower contest! Here's a taste of what's on the agenda beginning next month:

Featured Author Friday:
Beginning February 4, 2011, C&R will be showcasing a different (erotic) romance author every Friday. The feature will include an author bio, short Q&A session, a promo for new and/or upcoming release(s), and a giveaway (at the individual author's discretion). I've got some great talent lined up already as you can see by the FAF Schedule in the box at the top of the left sidebar, so mark your calendars and don't forget to follow me to keep up-to-date!

Winning Wednesday:
Beginning February 2, 2011, I will be hosting a bi-weekly contest for my followers. Again, some great talent has so very kindly and generously agreed to contribute to the prize pool so you definitely don't want to miss out on this great opportunity for free reads and goodies! I'm still working out the details, but the basics are you MUST be a follower of both this blog and my tweets (@lvelez0913), and you MUST leave a comment as to who you are and where I can find you on each contest post. It's that simple. More details and prize information will be listed in each contest post. Winners will be selected the Wednesday following the contest posting (i.e., first contest will be posted on Feb 2, with the winner being announced Feb 9).

As you can see, there's some exciting stuff coming up next month so if you're not already a follower of C&S, be sure you become one. Wouldn't want anyone missing out on all the fun and free goodies. :D
