Our Sexy Delight @MySexySaturday #MSS48

Welcome to the 48^th week of My Sexy Saturday.

This week is all about our sexy delight. Again, it’s about our awesome couples and just what makes them that way. Some of them do it in the stars, some have riddles to solve, empires to rule and others live right here on earth but all of them make us come back for more over and over and over again.

The rules are to post 7 paragraphs or 7 sentences or 7 words ONLY. The choice is yours. It can be from a WIP or something you already have published.

Today I'm offering up 7 sentences from my holiday novella, Muffins & Mistletoe.

First the blurb:

Welcome to Starlight Hills! Mountain views, small town charm, and one little bake shop, where romance is always on the menu.

Christmas is the best time of year to be in love in Starlight Hills. Cold nights perfect for snuggling, plenty of mistletoe to be caught kissing under, and an abundance of gingerbread muffins for sharing under the stars. But when Corinne Mackenzie turns down a proposal from the man she loves at the Thanksgiving table, it could be the worst time of year instead. Convinced the only way to fix the biggest mistake of her life is to enlist the help of the town's resident matchmaker, she's got a plan to make this the best Christmas ever.

After his proposal is rejected in front of family and friends, Jimmy Crane knows his only chance of surviving the holiday is to avoid the woman who stomped on his heart. The only obstacle to his plan is his matchmaking mother and Corinne's knack for getting him under the mistletoe.

*****

Here's my 7 sentences from a scene in the bakeshop, where it seems Jimmy has ended up under the mistletoe :)


          Jimmy realized he was under the mistletoe less than a second before her lips were on his. Hot coffee in one hand and a bag of muffins in the other, he couldn’t put his arms around her even if he wanted to. And he wanted to.

Corinne’s fingers pressed into his shoulders and her soft lips crushed against his. While Johnny Mathis sang about chestnuts roasting on an open fire, flames of a different kind flooded through every inch of his body. Her warm fingertips touched his neck and along his jaw, then her lips parted and he was powerless to do anything but accept the invitation her mouth offered. He inhaled her intoxicating scent, something floral, a little spicy—or maybe that was just the cinnamon drifting in from the kitchen behind him.

My Sexy Saturday - Surrender to the Sheriff (C5)

Welcome back to another edition of the My Sexy Saturday Blog Hop!

Every Saturday the participants post 7 sexy words, sentences, or paragraphs from their published books, upcoming releases or a work-in-progress. Now everyone's idea of sexy is different and some of us are hot and some of us sweet - but what fun it is to explore some great writing!

Today I'm offering up a little taste of my upcoming time travel novella, Surrender to the Sheriff. This scene is from Chapter 5.

This scene takes place in Sam's cabin and he's just made the decision to take Lilly back to town...but it appears Lilly has other plans. :)

* ~ * ~ *

He opened the door, determined to set his life back to order, and all rational thought flew from his head.

Lilly stood in front of the fireplace, bent over, apparently inspecting something on her knee. Her breasts threatened to spill over the neck of her dress, and one bare leg shimmered in the light of the flames at her back. Thoughts of that shapely leg wrapped around his waist caught him off guard and he couldn't catch his breath.

She smiled as he stepped inside and closed the door. That tantalizing dimple in her cheek reached down into his gut and twisted it into knots. The words he'd prepared in his head disappeared as she licked her lips and grinned. Dear Lord, he wanted to taste those lips again. Then he imagined those lips trailing down his chest.

He swallowed and blinked while trying to remember what he was going to say. It was something to do with bringing her back to the saloon for her own good, but she didn't look like she wanted to go anywhere right now.

He wasn't sure he could argue with that.

Instead of trying to remember what he wanted to say, he couldn't take his eyes off the waves of her golden hair as it danced along her shoulders. His fingers itched to have the silky stands looped through them while he pulled her against his chest. He could almost smell the fresh lavender on her skin.

She slowly straightened and his hungry gaze followed the hem of her skirt all the way down until it covered her dainty ankles.

He hated that dress.

Think you know where this scene is headed?

My Sexy Saturday - Surrender to the Sheriff - C2 Snippet

Welcome to my first crack at the "My Sexy Saturday" blog hop!

Every Saturday the participants post 7 sexy words, sentences, or paragraphs from their published books, upcoming releases or a work-in-progress. Now everyone's idea of sexy is different and some of us are hot and some of us sweet - but what fun it is to explore some great writing!

Today I'm offering up a little taste of my upcoming time travel novella, Surrender to the Sheriff. This scene is from C2.

* * *

"Lilly, haven't you been involved in enough trouble for one day?"

His free hand reached up, tipped his black hat high on his head, and those emerald green eyes locked with hers once again. The lips that had kissed her with so much tenderness and possessiveness moments ago quirked into a lopsided grin that made her insides tingle and pop with anticipation.

How could she explain something she didn't understand herself? "I just think—"

"Think about this instead."

His sensuous lips were back on hers and he wanted her to think? It was impossible to imagine anything other than the way her body melted into his at that moment and she was pretty sure it wasn’t his gun hardening against her stomach.

With his fingers in her hair, he held her close and nibbled ever so lightly on her bottom lip before his tongue slid inside to capture her mouth fully. The breath caught in the back of her throat—she groaned and grabbed hold of his muscled shoulder.

Dream, fantasy, or just her wild imagination, she was sure she’d never been kissed like this before. His mouth devoured every inch of hers; his tongue explored and retreated, leaving trails of electrified skin in its wake.

If she had to think about anything, it would be that Sam Harden knew how to kiss.

So, what do you think...sexy? *wink*
