welcome author Deanna Wadsworth today and enter the giveaway


Welcome author Deanna Wadsworth today to the Reading Nook. Don't forget to enter the giveaway at the end of the post for a chance to win the following prize fromt he author: One winner gets a copy of TGTBT and  three winners can win one of my previous Decadent Publishing titles. The contest closes on October 7th. The tour is sponsored by Pride Promotions.

Now let's have a chat with the author....

What started your interest in writing?
I’ve been a story teller since I was young. I guess when my grandma gave me a journal one camping trip and told me to write a story that kinda triggered it

If zombies attacked what kind of supplies would you want?
Guns, ammo and food. I live by a river and I wouldn’t be too proud to drink out of it LOL

If you could sit down with any author dead or alive who would it be?
You know I bet Hemmingway would be one helluva good time LOL

Do you keep a notebook near your for when new ideas pop into your head?
Oh yes! I have dozens of them all over the house!

If you write a series do you reread your previous books before you begin the new one?
Always! I am a stickler for accuracy

Is there anything you wish to say to your readers?
Thank you for reading my books, leaving reviews and just being awesome. Nothing warms an author’s heart like a fan on Facebook sharing your books with others 

For readers who haven't tried your books yet, how do you think your editor or loyal readers would describe your books?
Well, it depends on which book. I usually write pretty sexy stuff and lately it’s had more angst than usual. But I also have some really erotic comedy like THE NAUGHTY NORTH POLE SERIES where Santa’s elves have candy-flavored cum, LOL

I’m always looking for book recommendations. What books have you been reading? Would you recommend them?
The last books I read were The Midnight Gardener and The Well of Tears by RG Thomas (better known as Hank Edwards) It’s a series about a young boy who falls in love with his garden gnome neighbor and goes on a quest to find a dragon…so cute!

How often does your muse distract you from day to day minutiae?
 All. The. Time.

What do readers have to look forward to in the future from you?


There will be a new THE NAUGHTY NORTH POLE book coming out this Christmas. We’re going to hear more from Ms. Claus and maybe even Thor…..You’ll have to wait and see!



Series: 1Night Stand
Publisher: Decadent Publishing
Cover Artist: Fiona Jade

Release Date: June 17, 2016

Disgraced former FBI agent Tim Burkhart desperately wants to reclaim his life and find happiness. Relocating his fledgling private security company to Miami—where his ex-wife moved their two daughters—hopefully is a start. When he’s hired to provide protection for an antiques dealer on his way to Scotland to sell a priceless ancient dirk, Tim believes the break he’s been waiting for has finally arrived. Maybe now he can make enough money to hire a lawyer and get shared parenting of his little girls. 

Elliot James runs the antique shop he inherited after his grandfather’s death. Lonely and swimming in debt, he longs for a way to turn his life around but keeps making one mistake after another. Then he finds the ancient dirk tucked away among junk as he’s cleaning out his grandfather’s home. Placing it up for sale, he is thrilled when an out of country buyer purchases the priceless antique. The buyer wants the dirk immediately and sends Tim to ensure Elliot safely delivers it on time. 


The moment Tim and Elliot meet, however, everything falls apart. Between break-ins, shoot-outs, stalkers, totaled cars, and the cops, it seems Tim and Elliot will never get to Scotland by the deadline. Despite all the obstacles, an unexpected attraction pulls them together, offering each man a glimmer of hope. But if they don’t deliver the dirk on time, they won’t get paid and neither of them will be able to pick up the pieces of their lives. 

Will they complete this job and find a happily ever after, or is all of this really too good to be true?

Pages or Words: 36,000 words

Categories: Light suspense, M/M Romance, Romance

Excerpt:
Staring down the sights of his Colt 1911 and into the panicked eyes of the young man, Tim said, “Keep your hands where I can see ’em. I want to know where Mr. James is and why you’re in his store.”
Out of the corner of his eye, Tim saw a flash of metal. Instinctively he dropped to the floor. The sharp crack of a bullet shot through the store, shattering something on his left.
The guy behind the counter made a run for the door.
Tim rolled behind the armoire, gritting his teeth when the door slammed shut and the first guy got away. Careful to stay out of sight, Tim assessed the shooter who’d come from the back room. He looked as young and inexperienced as the one who’d run. Tim recognized the weapon in his hand—a 9mm semi-automatic Beretta. Though Tim’s .45 could out-shoot the little pea-shooter at the range, he had no interest in finding out who was the better shot in real life.
“¿Adónde vas? ¡Esperame!” the shooter yelled to his retreating friend.
Wait for me. Tim knew enough Spanish. The guy planned to make a run for it, too. He clambered to his feet. Before he could tackle and subdue him, the kid aimed his Beretta in the general direction of the armoire and fired off a volley of shots.
“Shit!” Tim dove behind a stack of rugs to dodge the bullets.
The gun went silent.
Tim rolled fast onto his back, his 1911 aimed, only to watch the kid flying out the door behind his friend. The door bounced a few times until it closed, the bells clanging.
“Shit! Shit!”
The scraping sounds in the back room, louder than before, drew his attention once more.
As fast as he could, he crept around the counter, his heart pounding. Both hands on his gun, trigger finger resting on the frame and trigger guard, he took a quick peek into the room, ducking back before a possible third perp could make him.
In less than a heartbeat, his brain registered what he’d seen. He exhaled. Keeping his gun lowered but at-the-ready, he entered.
In the center of what looked like a storage room sat the man Tim had been hired to escort to Scotland. He’d been gagged and duct-taped to a chair.
Elliot James.
“Is anyone else here?” Tim murmured.
Mr. James shook his head wildly.
With a relieved sigh, he rushed over to the man and yanked the gag out. “You okay?”
“Yeah.” He gasped for air. “I’m fine.”
“Were there only two?” he clarified, eyes still peeled for danger.
“Yeah,” he managed, his face flushed and startling green eyes wide. Sandy-brown curls fell across the brow of a very frightened but very beautiful man. He took a few slow, ragged breaths, obviously trying to calm himself. “Just the two of them.”
Tim took a steadying breath of his own and slowly released the hammer on his Colt and flipped the safety up, never taking his gaze off Mr. James. “What happened?” He holstered the weapon then tore the duct tape from the man’s wrist.
“Aarrghh!” Mr. James jumped, the chair bouncing.
Tim winced when he noticed the arm hairs stuck to the tape in his hand. “Sorry ’bout that.” He paused over the other strip. “This one’s gonna hurt, too.”
Mr. James pursed his lips and nodded bravely. He let out a tiny hiss when Tim freed his second arm. That one didn’t take as much hair because a silver bracelet had protected most of the skin. Obviously, those punks had been amateurs in restraining.
“Sorry,” Tim said again.
Rubbing his wrists, he let out a breathy laugh. “It’s okay. Thank you for saving my life.”
“I believe that’s what I was paid for. I’m Tim Burkhart, your private security detail.”
Mr. James’s smile made his heart flutter. No, probably just the adrenaline. Tim didn’t get butterflies.
“Nice to finally meet you, Mr. Burkhart.”
“Call me Tim.” He stood and withdrew his phone. He gestured toward his bound legs. “You okay to get those? I gotta call the cops.”
“No!”
Tim almost dropped his phone when Mr. James shouted. He gaped at the man. “What do you mean no?”
Prying tape off of his khaki pants, the man paused. Those big green eyes grew even wider. “You can’t call the cops. My whole life depends on it!”

Welcome Arlene Webb today

Arlene: Thank you, Dawn, for helping share word about the 1NS series with Decadent Publishing. In March of 2011, Valerie Mann’s story, To Feel Again, was released. The reaction was so positive, three big name authors got together and a series centered on Madam Eve was born. Decadent Publishing is proud to be able to say that just a few years later To Feel Again has 199 companions.

Here’s the blurb that launched 200 published novellas:

When Leah loses her fiancé, Mark, in Afghanistan, it takes nearly a year to get to the point where she’s ready to live again. Although she doesn’t want an emotional commitment, a night of consensual sex, even with a stranger, might help bring her some closure after Mark’s death. Enlisting the services of Madame Evangeline’s high-end, online dating service, One Night Stand, promises exactly what Leah is looking for—sex with a man she doesn’t have to see again, but one who will satisfy her physical needs now that she's ready to move on with her life.

Jackson Castillo has no desire to go on a date with one of Evangeline’s clients. One Night Stand uses his hotel for its client’s rendezvous, but otherwise, he never gets involved. When Eve threatens to take her business elsewhere unless he helps her with a particular case, he’s no fool. He’ll go on the date. But he won’t sleep with the woman.

When one thing leads to another, his good intentions to stay out of the bedroom with Leah are shattered. The sex is phenomenal, but there’s more to Leah he wants to explore. After she leaves the next morning without a goodbye, he’s both disappointed and royally pissed. Will he let her go or find a way to convince her she’s ready…to feel again?


I’m so thrilled to be included as one of these 200: http://decadent1nightstand.blogspot.com/

Dear Madame Evangeline,
As you can see by my attached application, I am an ideal candidate for your matching service. Unless you believe in ghosts (ha ha), it’ll be impossible for me to breach contract by attempting to find anyone who wishes to remain a stranger after a one-night stand.
This would surely be a risk-free set up for any potential date. Please consider leaving out details of my identity, as I fear opportunistic journalists/news reporters. With that in mind, I left the preferred height, weight, shape, race, personality, and so forth options blank. Clean with an XY chromosome is more than I deserve, and all this sinner would hope for.
If you’re wondering how one such as me could have the audacity to even contact you, well, what do I have to lose? I beg pardon for my crudeness, but seeing as electrocution is currently an acceptable form of execution in this sovereign state, I’ve fantasized for months about a bang the night prior to the roast.
I have the means to persuade the warden into allowing this rendezvous to happen. Authorities may agree just to avoid agitation between the anticipated media spectacle and me. There’s been much controversy concerning a woman in the electric chair for the first time in a decade, and the warden expects I’ll remain steadfast in my refusal to appeal or prolong the inevitable. With consideration of my right to exit this world sooner rather than later, I anticipate every home within a thousand mile radius will have their power off Saturday afternoon, two weeks from today.
I’ll be moved to the D ward shortly and unable to converse further with anyone but the chaplain and warden. Please consider this my last request.
Sincerely,
Prison number 24609
Joan Bennett

Please comment on whether the 1NS series is new to you, or if you’re on your way to reading all 200 titles. Leave your email address and I’ll toss names in a hat and pick someone to win an e-copy of Last Request, or any of my other titles with Decadent. Most importantly, don’t forget to click on the raffle for chance at some great prices.

Thank you, Dawn, so much for hosting me on your Reading Nook,

Guest Author Day with Taryn Kincaid/Contest


Hi, all! So thrilled to be here today, talking about FROST, my latest sexy paranormal  1Night Stand story, just released from Decadent Publishing.

Delighted it’s out in time for Valentine’s Day, because it’s a Valentine’s story!

You wouldn’t think a sexy succubus, who gets it regularly, would want more, would you?  But this year, poor delicious Dagney Night wants more—she wants a Valentine of her very own. Yep, the whole, shebang— a great hot guy, hearts, flowers, heat,  romance.

But when Madame Eve fixes her up with an unusual guy, Maxwell Raines a reclusive artist and mysterious fire-sex demon, whose painting sizzle off the walls, Dagney may get just a little more than she bargained for!  With Max, hot and steamy is a way of life.

When he tells her she’ll need a safe word with him, she picks “Cupid.”

Will she use it? Will he?

Will their Valentine’s date be a scorcher?

What do YOU want for Valentine’s Day. Leave me a tantalizing reply and one random commenter will receive chocolatey delicious Valentine’s swag!

BLURB:
Dagney Night, a sought-after succubus, is no stranger to blazing hot sex. But as Valentine’s Day approaches, she longs for something more. When oddly erotic paintings arrive for display at her art gallery, arousing everyone who views them, she wonders about the mysterious artist who created the works.

Maxwell Raines, a fire-sex demon, lives a life of solitude and seclusion behind the walls of his compound at Sleepy Hollow, channeling his lustful impulses into his art—until his muse deserts him and his temperature rises past the danger point. He needs sex. Now.
When Madame Evangeline arranges a torrid Valentine’s 1Night Stand for them, will the flames of their encounter be too hot to handle?

EXCERPT:

Dagney followed her sister’s glance, and her heart flipped like a gymnast unable to nail a vault. Darkness swathed the gallery with the exception of the lights above or below each of the paintings. The large man emerging from the shadows held her rapt. Waves of pure, unadulterated lust smacked her with such force she didn’t even see Lily and Campbell leave. The blast of raw desire crumpled her to the floor. Her gaze remained riveted on the tall hunk of ferocious male stalking toward her, radiating undiluted carnality. He set something carefully on the floor and grasped her by the elbows, his touch surprisingly gentle when he lifted her to her feet.
“I’m Maxwell Raines.”
Yeah. No kidding. Who else could a guy so hot, so studly, possibly be?
She told herself not to swoon. Ordered herself not to swoon. But, Goddess, that rumbling voice. More potent than a train barreling over the tracks. And he smelled so good. Sinfully masculine. A bit of musk, a bite of pine, an essence of dark, smoky nights. Sexy scents. Reminiscent of tangled satin sheets that had been given a good work-out.
Her legs turned to rubber, and she doubted they’d support her on their own. She’d be mortified if he’d have to scrape her puddled body up again. But he hadn’t yet relaxed his grip. Could she bullshit her way through the meeting without collapsing? “You’re late,” she said.
“I’m never late.”
“Well, the party’s over, Mr. Raines.” She waved a hand around the empty room.
“Depends on your perspective.”
“You’re big on perspective, are you?”
“I’m a painter.” A brief shrug accompanied his blunt words. “Obvious connection.”
“Right. But as you can see, everyone’s left.”
“You haven’t.” He gazed down at her, a black brow flaring. “And you’re what I’m here for.”

Get Under the covers with Taryn Kincaid's hero, Sean Jones


Please give a warm welcome to Sean Jones from THUNDER by Taryn Kincaid today as we sit down and see what makes him tick.

Q: So tell us about yourself. What got you in the cross-hairs for your author?

Yeah, so. . . I set my bro, Campbell, up on a 1Night Stand in LIGHTNING. I gather the author thought I was kind of a smart-ass. Also a studly hunk, whose story needed to be told. Camp just figured turnabout was fair play, I guess. Maybe he was a little jealous my picture was in the tabloids with models and starlets all the time. Not a bad deal for a developer/contractor/construction guy. Although, Camp is back with the love of his life now, so I guess he thought he had my best interests at heart. Wants to see everyone as love-crazed. I admit. All the hard-partying was getting to me. Camp knows me. He knew. Filled out Madame Evangeline’s 1Night Stand questionnaire for me and everything. And didn’t let me in on it until about twenty minutes before the date. I was on my way to Veronica’s place in Sleepy Hollow at the time, so it was damn good thing he confessed. Otherwise, might have ended real badly for everyone.

Q: What was it that drew you to your mate?
      She does this thing. Bites on her lip. Twirls her hair. Brings out cookies and sandwiches and lemonade to my crews who’ve been trying to renovate her mansion for months. We’d have been done weeks ago, if she didn’t keep making me change things. I’ll growl at her for that, but I’m kinda secretly glad. You think she’s the cool, sophisticated lady of the manor, and then she goes and shows how vulnerable she is. She’s a witch. Really. Not a super sorceress or anything, although she’s totally bewitched me.  She doesn’t think she’s a very good witch. Her late husband, who was 85, was sort of mentoring her along when he … uh, bought the farm. Some reviewer said she was a witch-in-training. Yeah, I like that idea much better than her thinking she’s a not very good witch.        

Q: A little naughty fun, where was the wildest place you seduced your partner(s)?
They’re all naughty fun and a little wild. I don’t really want to talk about this.   I made sure her house has plenty of Jacuzzis, though.  Yeah, and that first night…one second we were on the marble floor in the grand hall. The next second we were in the master suite in bed. She’s got a wand. So do I.


Q: Boxers, briefs or Commando on a man?
All of the above. Lately, more commando than not.

Q: If your partner wants to seduce you, what's one sure fire trick he/she can play?
 All she has to do is look at me.

Q: What was one of the most embarrassing thing your author did to you in THUNDER?
         Well, one time I thought we were having phone sex. And we weren’t.
         And she signed up for a 1Night Stand date!
         I mean, she calls me up to Sleepy Hollow on the Fourth of July, in the middle of a thunderstorm and I think she’s gonna hassle me about new plans for the mansion. And I’m standing on her doorstep when I suddenly realize some of my most secret sizzling hot dreams about her are about to come true.

Q: Anything else you would like to add?
       I drop a lot of “f” bombs.  And my baby’s got me totally wrapped around her fingers.   Maybe I’ve talked too much already.  But you can come read our story in THUNDER. It’s hot!

Thank you Sean for joining us on 'Meet the Character' day here at Dawn’s Reading Nook Blog. Please find THUNDER by Taryn Kincaid at DecadentPublishing.com.


Thunder by Taryn Kincaid
Decadent Publishing
A 1NS Story

Lonely young witch, Veronica Hardwicke, has struggled to get on with her life after the death of the elderly husband who’d left her a fortune and a sprawling estate in mystical Sleepy Hollow. When frightening things go bump in the night on a stormy Fourth of July, who better to call than the sexy developer and contractor, Sean Jones, who's been renovating her mansion for months?

Sean may grace the tabloid pages with a different supermodel on his arm every night, but it's Veronica who drives him nuts. Ignoring his instinct to stay away, he answers her summons.

Will the thundering passion of their 1Night Stand tear down the barriers between them?

Excerpt:

Veronica paced back and forth in the grand entry foyer of the Belmont mansion, the kitten heels of her Prada mules clacking on the marble floors.
The rest of the place might not be finished, but she’d insisted on having a few rooms completed, so at least she felt like she was living in a home, rather than a massive, never-ending construction project. Well, her contractor had insisted, even though working around the main entrance and central hallway created more work for him and his crew. But she was forced to admit he was right.
Her cell phone chimed on top of the antique credenza shoved flush against one wall. She leaped for it. Probably Geneviève, to regale her with all the fun she was having in Paris. Or Sean, to advise her he couldn’t make it after all. She sighed and read the text message on the small screen.
Congratulations, Veronica. 1Night Stand has found your date. Have a good time.
With both anxiety and mounting excitement, she stared at the screen and waited. No other info. Outside in the night, thunder boomed. She jumped then laughed at herself.
Ghosts are one thing, but freaking out at the weather now? Cripes, you really do need this date!
She let her imagination run wild, then texted back for more details:
When? Where? Who?
An insistent pounding at the front door jarred her out of her fantasy. She swung the door open on another explosive crack of thunder.
Sean stood on her doorstep, his soaked T-shirt molding sculpted pecs and abs, his drenched hair flattened over his brow. Rain poured down as he fiddled with his iPhone, a bemused expression on his face. Behind him, jagged arrows of lightning tore the dark sky. He glared at the screen, glanced at her in confusion, then back at the screen.
Veronica’s own phone pinged again. Thunder roared. She read the message in disbelief.
You’re looking at him.
