Welcome! If you love smart, sexy, stirring romance, then this is the place to be. In addition to my blog every other Friday at http://sizzlingpens.blogspot.com, I am blogging on the 25th of every month over at http://blazeauthors.com.

MY SEXY GREEK SUMMER (May 2009) was mentioned in the Washington Post! I couldn’t believe it until I found the link, and then all I could do was say “Ha! I’m in the Washington Post! Take that, highbrow depressing literature!” Or words to that effect. I was participating in the annual “Readers for Life” literacy signing, and the Post reporter must have noticed the lovely romantic Greek-themed cover and used it as an example of the wide variety of books romance readers enjoyed. Here’s the article link.

HER LAST LINE OF DEFENSE (link to book page) gets ****1/2 stars from the September RT! “Strong secondary characters, humor, a great heroine and a sexy hero make it stand out and turn it into a keeper book.” HER LAST LINE OF DEFENSE comes out in September—you may see copies in late August, so get one while it’s on the shelves! It’s part of the UNIFORMLY HOT! 2009 Blaze military-themed series featuring heroes in and out of uniform.

My offering features Cajun Luc Boudreaux, a genuinely heroic Green Beret (US Army Special Forces) who is fresh from overseas and just wants to spend his leave helping his family rebuild back in Louisiana. Instead, he’s pressured into giving society girl Claire Cook a private crash course in outdoor survival before she goes to the Amazon to work with the poor. Out in the woods, Luc and Claire get back to nature in the best possible way but can’t quite figure out what to do when they get back to civilization.

It’s not too late for some hot summer reading! Pick up a copy of MY SEXY GREEK SUMMER, still available in paperback and ebook as well. RT called it “a sexy story with lots of Greek atmosphere for a greatly enjoyable book.”

Sex on the beach was only the beginning—a summer on a Greek island is just what student Cara Sokol needs to jumpstart her non-existent sex life. Too bad she’s sworn off Greek men forever, because she can’t take her eyes off Yannis Petrides’ six-pack abs and sultry eyes.

But Cara’s not going to get away that easily. In fact, some of Yannis’s daydreams would make even Aphrodite blush. So if his fiery redhead wants an X-rated fling, he won’t deny it—even if she is hiding something more than her burning desire…

This book has a small tie-in. For those of you who read HER BOOK OF PLEASURE, Cara is Rick Sokol’s sister.

SEX BY THE NUMBERS, my fourth novel from Harlequin Blaze, came out in June 2008 and is still available as an audiobook and e-book. Who knew a forensic accountant and a chief financial officer could be so sexy together?
