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?

Beauty and the Beasts
by
Ava Rose Johnson

They don’t just want her for the full moon…they want her forever

For centuries the Kingdom of Drayzlake has been divided between the humans and the wolves. But when a wolf crosses the Divide and bites the humans’ princess, all hell breaks loose. With wolven blood now running in her veins, Princess Abigail is forced to mate with a wolf every full moon. What she doesn’t realize is that she is mating with two wolves rather than one. Caine and Stavros are identical twins and soon-to-be Alphas of their pack. And they’re tired of taking turns.

So on one moonlit night after another vigorous mating session, Abigail finds herself kidnapped to the wolves’ quarters. Trapped in their fort she can’t deny the two beasts who desire her so, and locked between their powerful bodies she can hardly remember her own name. But it soon becomes clear that these sexual games are as dangerous as they are delicious. Because Caine and Stavros don’t just want her for the full moon…

I could barely sit still at work today, I was so excited! Now I’m off to drink a celebratory bottle of wine (with company of course!)

Enjoy your Tuesday!

Here’s why I love this show so damn much:

1. McDreamy.

2. A great mixture of comedy and drama.

3. McSteamy.

4. The constant swapping of sexual partners.

5. Bailey’s no-nonsense attitude.

6. Burke and Christina’s relationship (yes I know it’s not going to end happily, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts.)

7. A rockin’ soundtrack.

8. Ferry boats.

9. The most bizarre surgeries ever.

10. Sex happens all over Seattle Grace. It makes me wonder what the doctors and nurses get up to at my hospital.

11. Alex.

12. McDreamy’s trailer. I could live in that.

13. The characters’ perverse pleasure in blood and guts.

Every now and again, when I mention that I write BDSM, I get funny looks. Inevitably, the next thing I hear is, “Why would anyone get into that? Who wants to be bossed around? Especially in bed?”

Which is true. We associate getting bossed around with crabby older sisters, supervisors at work, and other unpleasant folks. Not really sexy ideas there.

Fortunately, BDSM isn’t about getting bossed around. Instead, it’s about letting go of control, giving it to someone else so that you are, in a sense, free. There are no decisions to make, because someone’s making them for you. There’s no guilt, because you aren’t calling the shots. No self-consciousness, because again, someone else is making the call.

Imagine, if you will, a small tragedy. Someone got hurt, and is in the hospital. They’re going to be okay, but you’ve had an emotional wringer of a day. You just want to stumble home, but there’s so much to deal with.

Then some saint of a family member comes along. He tells you to go home. He’ll handle the paperwork, and sit with the person that got hurt. You want to protest, of course, that you should do it all, because you’ll feel guilty otherwise. But the look in his eyes stops you. Go home, he says. Go rest. I will take care of it. I’ll carry the burden. You put it down for a while.

It’s an extreme example, but it’s right at the heart of Dominance and submission. In the above situation, the guilt has a chance to go away, as does the stress. Someone else is handling it. For just a little while, even just the couple hours it takes you to go and get some food and a hot shower, you don’t have to worry.

Dominance and submission are about trust. You trust the other person not to ask, or do, anything that you wouldn’t want to. You trust that they’ll take care of you, make you feel good, and give you the chance to just let go. They aren’t bossing you around. You’re allowing them control for a short time, and you trust that they’ll give it back.

It’s called “power exchange”. It can be sweet, intense, or very emotional, depending on what’s agreed upon. And it’s found in a lot of unexpected places, from BDSM books to urban fantasy. Werewolves have a certain element of Dominance to them, as do vampires.

Power exchange is what Meghan’s Submission is about. A woman wants to let go, and trusts a man to give her what she needs. And a man wants to give her that freedom and take care of her. It’s sweet, loving, and changes both their lives for the better.

Eek! I don’t know how I managed it. Three days off from work, and I filled them with my work in progress. It’s a menage/shapeshifter/BDSM/twisted fairytale story that I originally expected to be around 15k, but is currently nearing 30k.

I should be finished over the next couple of days and then it’s polish time. (Which is never fun, but absolutely necessary.)
