Coming Home has only been released for 1 day and it’s already number 8 on the Samhain bestseller list!

Thank you so much to everyone who has bought the book, I hope you enjoyed it!

I’m so excited! Coming Home releases today from Samhain Publishing!

Brett and Cade are two of my favorite heroes. I hope you enjoy reading about them as much as I enjoyed writing them

To whet your appetite, here’s the blurb:

Bound by grief, branded by need too intense to ignore…

After an accident kills Brett Miller’s parents, the reins of Steeplecrest Ranch fall to him. The arrival of rightful half-owner Cade Armstrong, who lost his parents in the same accident, only kicks up the tension. Brett would rather buy out Cade’s share and send the man back to New York, but his hands are tied.

After seven years leading a hedonistic life in the big city, Cade returns to face his loss. Once he’s got acres of rolling ranch land back under his feet he discovers he wants to keep them planted on home ground—and show the man he’s lusted after since puberty just how good they’d be together.

Then Cade’s friend, Jessica, arrives from the city and the sexual tension rockets from simmer to full boil. Brett finds himself incredibly turned on—and incredibly confused. Cade is through waiting for Brett’s mind to open wide enough to let love in. It’s time for the proper application of an emotional crowbar. Even if it means he could lose Brett forever.

My very first quickie for Ellora’s Cave releases today! Getting Hers, a story about lust in the office, was a lot of fun to wrote and I hope readers love Melanie and Parker as much as I do!

Here’s the blurb:

Parker Stevens has one golden rule—never mix business with pleasure. But when Melanie, his curvaceous secretary whose sultry red lips turn him to stone, announces she’s leaving him, he’s finally free to claim what he’s craved since she first sashayed into his office six years ago.

Melanie’s been in love with her charismatic boss since the beginning, and when a sudden blackout traps them in an elevator together, fantasy finally becomes reality. Parker brings her darkest desires to the fore, driving her from climax to climax. How on earth can she leave him now?

The reviews just keep rolling in for Lucy’s Neighbors and Breaking Ground and I’m so grateful to the review sites for giving these books such positive feedback!

Lucy’s Neighbors received 5 angels from Lynn at Fallen Angels Reviews. Here’s a snippet:
In Lucy’s Neighbors Ms. Johnson gets off to a strong start, immediately pulling the reader into Lucy’s point of view…what’s there not to like about two gorgeous men who are comfortable with their own sexuality, not afraid of commitment, have a healthy sense of humor and are looking for a woman to have, hold and make love to every night? …although they may be sensitive and supportive, both men have enough Alpha in them to make it extremely difficult for her to just cut and run…Ms Johnson is able to fully develop her main characters and leave the reader well satisfied at the end. Five Angels.

And Ashley from Fallen Angels Reviews gave Breaking Ground a wonderful review:

Breaking Ground turned out to be a sweet, and spicy, tale of love between friends…It was easy to see that these two love each other, and I felt myself reaching out to Ray and Eric…Things between them are very intense, in and out of bed, and I enjoyed every page. Breaking Ground is a great story of finding unexpected love, and figuring out how to keep it.

Thank you Fallen Angels!!!

And also readers, keep an eye on this blog as I’ll be announcning a Christmas contest next week!

This week the reviews seem to be pouring in for Lucy’s Neighbors and thankfully they’re all good!

Here are a few snippets:

Ms. Johnson has created pure erotic pleasure with her new book Lucy’s Neighbors…The love scenes are delectable, the sex blistering hot and playful filled with fire and tender affections…4.5 hearts! ~ Shannon at The Romance Studio

This was a read that I was anxious to get back to when I was drawn away from it. I would kill for one man with the qualities these two possess. A delightfully naughty read, with the satisfying aspect of Lucy finding her inner strength and giving hell to those who deserved it. ~ Chris at Night Owl Romance

Lucy’s Neighbors will captivate you almost from the start….The three of them, either together or in pairs, will have you getting the ice-cubes and fans out…I will be reading this one again..5 nymphs! ~ Amazon Nymph at Literary Nymphs

Yay!

Shannon from The Romance Studio was kind enough to review Beauty and the Beasts and its follow-up, The Wolves’ Submissive. She gave both books 5 hearts and said some truly wonderful things. Here’s a couple of snippets:

Beauty and the Beasts – Ms. Johnson has created a plot that is flawless and characters that are rich and multilayered for a story that is sure to stand the test of time….The sexual escapades are action packed, deliciously shocking as well as being exhilarating and so not for the faint of heart! The ménage relationship is portrayed with a deep connection and a sense of rightness…~ Shannon at TRS

The Wolves’ Submissive- Once again Ms. Johnson sweeps readers back to the fascinating Kingdom of Drayzlake and into the lives of Abigail and her mates, Caine and Stavros, for a deliciously seductive story that is sure to delight readers… Intense, edgy, and passionate, this is an erotic romance that seems to reach remarkable heights of wonder with its twists, turns, and added elements of the wolf…Each page pulsates with energy and fire until the ending climax that is sure to thrill romance readers…Abigail, Caine, and Stavros are irresistible characters that readers can’t help being drawn to. Their struggles and insecurities make them even more endearing to the reader. The steamy chemistry and well crafted descriptions help to visualize the primal and erotic scenes filled with submissive delights. The submissive play is seductive, sexy, and smoldering hot! Yet the author doesn’t take any dominant scene so far that readers would be turned off by it… ~ Shannon at TRS

Thank you Shannon!
