Hold on to your breeches, ladies! Take a deep breath! The latest video from that hunkelicious Sagi Kalev is here. Enjoy! 

The Romance Galleria will host another WILD WEDNESDAY chat June 20 from 9-10 p.m. (EST) in the Galleria Cafe. I’ll be the guest author that night, chatting with readers in the virtual cafe.  This is a fun, informal venue to relax and enjoy the company of authors and readers. We’ll discuss my new release MOTORCYCLE HEAT and I’ll answer questions.  I’ll also be giving away MOTORCYCLE HEAT key rings and bookmarks. Stop by The Romance Galleria to say hello! www.theromancegalleria.com

When my novel MOTORCYCLE HEAT was released, best-selling author Angela Knight was kind enough to plug my book to her fans. When a debut author gets a leg-up from an established author, that’s something to cheer about. The cooperative spirit of women never ceases to amaze and inspire me.

In that same spirit of cooperation, I’m posting the latest on Angela Knight’s new release from Loose Id, Passionate Ink.  Best wishes to Angela!

The forecast is in: the future of romance is hot and steamy. But riding the wave to success takes more than stringing together a couple of sex scenes or opening the bedroom door on your traditional romance. In her brand-new “how-to”, USA Today bestselling author Angela Knight shares the down and dirty details on writing erotic romances that will keep your readers coming back for more. Passionate Ink (un)covers the erotic novel from conception to completion. Straight talk, no purple prose.

First, Angela will show you her useful writing techniques that have made her a successful author. Then, she’ll teach you what’s hard (besides that!) about making your erotic romance erotic: action, both in and out of bed, the anatomy of a sex scene, eroticism and ‘kink’, and good dialogue, or talking dirty without sounding dumb. If you want to enjoy the heat, then strip off your inhibitions and take a dip into Passionate Ink.

From this week’s edition of JERR (Just Erotic Romance Reviews):
 
Title: Motorcycle Heat
Author: Adele Dubois
Publisher: Loose Id
Publisher URL: www.loose-id.net 
ISBN: 978-1-59632-457-2
Reviewer: Anya Khan
Rating: 4/5 Stars
Heat level: O

Lisa has come to Annapolis to dump her cheating boyfriend before he graduates from the Naval Academy.  Sad and ready to start her life again, she flirts with a gorgeous man on a motorcycle.  Antonio is riding to his brother’s graduation when he spots a gorgeous woman.  When she quickly flashes him, Antonio loses control of the bike and lands near her feet.  Unfortunately, a sexy tryst is caught on video and their lives quickly change.  The affair may end before they have a chance to develop their feelings for each other.

A rebound romance with no “let’s be friends” attempted, Motorcycle Heat is super hot and a fun and exciting action story.  The hurt and anger Lisa feels is so well written that her less-than-normal behavior is understood and I supported her all the way.  Antonio’s falling for Lisa has enough details and background that it makes him empathetic, not to mention extremely sexy.  The support characters are well developed and blend into the plot well.  A sequel should be coming and I can’t wait.  The sex is wonderful and creative.  While some scenes were shocking, nothing was gratuitous and every act helped build the story. It was loving when needed and slamming hot at the appropriate time. The use of racial slurs or descriptions, from both the good guys and bad guys, demonstrated real emotions, both good and bad. Overall, Motorcycle Heat is an outstanding first book. I look forward to reading more from Ms. Dubois in the future.
