Courtney Bee's "Scaring Artemis"
http://www.king-cart.com/Phaze/product=Scaring+Artemis+by+Courtney+Bee

Koneko is a stubborn elfen princess used to doing what she pleases, until kingdom law declares that the free-spirited royal must marry by her twenty fifth birthday. Refusing to sacrifice her rough and tumble lifestyle for a wedding ring, she flees the kingdom for the solitude of the forest. But she never expected to encounter so many dangerous and annoying creatures—especially a handsome stranger named Myron who possesses powers that rival her own. Unafraid of her barbed tongue and physical threats, Myron challenges the princess to a wizard’s duel with the intention of winning a kiss. But his lust quickly turns the battle X-rated, and Koneko suddenly finds herself at the mercy of a man who intends to steal far more than a gentle kiss.

Scorpio Tattoo

By Jude Mason

ISBN: 1-59426-994-7

Publisher: Phaze

Available, April 30, 2007

Blurb:

A tattoo is one of the most personal art forms that can adorn the flesh of a human. What happens when women are kidnapped and tattooed? What happens when those women die? And, what happens when the tattooist isn't alive? Jonathan Rorke searches for the answer these questions and others when his psychic talents lead him to the latest victim. Jessica Crane, latest victim, and the only one who's still alive. Why? Together, Jonathan and Jess have to find out who and why she's being tattooed, before her tattoo is finished and she becomes casualty number three.

Excerpt

Jonathan reached out with his senses, trying to feel if there was anything for her to be concerned about. Warmth, quiet, nothing unusual, but he could sense the memory was with her.
"Your room, please," she whispered.

He turned and without a word, took her to his room. A flick of the switch bathed the room in a bright wash of light. "I'll find you something to wear, just a sec," he said and went to his dresser. He rummaged around for a moment, and came up with a white cotton tank he figured would be long enough. Holding it up, he said, "Instant nightgown. What do you think?"

A smile played at the corners of her mouth and she reached out for the makeshift gown. "Bit short, don't you think," she said, holding it up against herself. The hem came to just below her crotch.

"Uh, yeah, but it's all I could come up with on short notice," he countered playfully. "I like it, if that counts."

She managed a soft chuckle. "Yeah, it does."

His smile broadened. "You get into that and I'll light a fire. Sound fair?"

"Yes, please. I've always dreamed of having a fireplace in my bedroom." She turned away and he watched her fumbling at her chest, unfastening buttons no doubt, and he moved to the fireplace.

"You can thank the ancestor who designed this place. Although, back then, these fireplaces were the only heat this place had, no such thing as central heating or furnaces." He kept a supply of wood ready in the woodbin beside the fireplace. He dug around until he found enough kindling to ensure it'd start smoothly, crumpled up a couple of pages of last weeks newspaper and set it in the wood cradle. He laced the cedar kindling across the paper, and then added a few small pieces of well dried maple. All the while, he kept hearing the rustle of her undressing and getting into the tank top he'd found. He was determined not to turn around, not to watch her, but the lust built and he was ready to chew nails by the time he'd put a match to the paper.

"Mm, nice."

Her voice came from right behind him. He let his senses run free and felt her there. He shuddered when he encountered a knot of excitement in her. Deep in her belly, another fire kindled much like the one he'd just set alight. She was aware of it, yet was unable to let it flare up���afraid perhaps that she was moving too fast. He felt her need to slow things down and he was determined to give her the time she needed.

"Why thank you, ma'am," he joked and turned around. His breath caught. She looked incredible. He opened his mouth to say something, but nothing came out. Clearing his throat, he tried again, "Y-you're beautiful."

She blushed. The tank top fit her like a second skin; its low-cut U-neck barely covered her nipples. It didn't matter though, because they were clearly visible through the material, as puckered and erect as they had been when they'd made love. The hem of the shirt was just long enough to keep her decent, but he was below her. There was no escaping the sight of those few tendrils of black curls. Nor would he have wished there to be.

A stirring in his jeans, and the sudden moan he hadn't realized was coming, was sure to let her know how he felt.

"Thank you," she said, and crossed her arms under her breasts.

"You cold?" he asked, rising to retrieve his robe.

"No, the fire will get going soon. I'm fine."

"Why don't you climb into bed? I'll crawl in and lay with you."

'Okay," she murmured and turned her back on him.

The rear view was as good as the frontal. Soft, lush curves and long, shapely legs were a major weakness of his, and she had them in abundance. Her shoulders were a little wider than most women's, making her waist appear even slimmer. Her flared hips were perfectly wide and her ass taut. And, from memory, he knew it was soft and she loved to have it stroked.

He was so lost in thought, that at first he didn't realize she'd climbed onto the bed and was sitting watching him. It wasn't until he sensed her passion rise that he focused on her. He was sure he blushed then.

"Penny for your thoughts," she said, and smiled.

He thought, what the hell, and asked, "You sure you want to know?" Cocking her head to the side, she looked at him as if judging what might happen. "Yeah, I want to know."

It is all about TONE!

The past couple of weeks has been wonderful in the reading department. I've sneaked in and read a couple of books soon to be released here at Phaze in May and they both had one thing in common: Tone. The two authors, Sammie Jo Moresca [Type Dirty To Me] and Aurora Black [I Heart You], wrote two different erotic romances and both excelled at putting me as the reader right there within the pages with the tone they skillfully set.

Moresca's 'Talk Dirty To Me' has a snappy, 1940's vibe, with a heroine who wants desperately to serve the US in a different position than the one she's in. As the reader you start to visualize the characters in black, white and shades of grey. Men wear suits, polished shoes and short hair, while the women are in skirts, ill-fitting nylons [wishing for pure silk with a seam up the back] and sensible pumps. A wicked Secret Service Agent brings her a treat and so much more than she'd ever expected and the reader follows the two, never really getting all the twists until the end. And, Alfred Hitchcock makes an unexpected cameo. As delightful as the title implies.

Now, Black's 'I Heart You', was dark, full of threats at every turn, and the heroine is at the center of it all. The reader isn't sure who to trust in the tale because they are there with her, terrified of footsteps, simple visits and every person she meets. There is a light, and like Rachel, they'll gravitate to him, want to hold him close, and be held by him in return, but is he true? After every good moment, Black reminds everyone of that darkness seeping ever closer to the center. A wonderful mix of love and evil.

Remember, they're both to be released from Phaze in May so keep your eyes open for them.

Excerpt #2 of "I Heart You" ~ Work Safe...Sort of

Title: I Heart You
Author: Aurora Black
Publisher: Phaze
Release Date: May 28, 2007

"You can open your eyes now."

Lucian stood behind her in the spacious room, his hot breath teasing the sensitive shell of her ear and making her shiver. Rachel leaned against him, loving the feel of his rock hard chest and abdomen against her back.

She opened her eyes and was blown away by the beauty of his studio. The walls were decorated with several framed pieces of his work, and she was amazed by his talent. Each wall was dedicated to a particular theme: there were several nature shots in one area, urban skylines in another, followed by exotic landscapes and tasteful nudes.

Rachel stood before one of the sexy pictures, shooting him a saucy look.

"My word, this girl has a big pair of…ears."

His deep laugh warmed her, and she remembered the reason why she asked him to bring him to the studio. She wanted to see the place where he lived and breathed his art. He'd told her that he had a corner office at Travel Today, but she wasn't interested in that place. The studio was the creative space where the Lucian the artist came out to play, and that was exactly what she had in mind.

She looked at her lover, a naughty smile on her lips. She wanted to play with him.

Lucian stepped closer. "There's nothing to worry about, love. I was a complete professional when I took that photo. Besides, the model is nothing compared to you."

Rachel grinned at him. "Good answer. Now, would you consider shooting me?"

He licked his lips, his voice raspy. "In what way, exactly?"

She turned and walked over to the maroon shopping bag that she'd brought with her. Smiling at the memory of her trip to the boutique Ecstasy earlier that day, she picked it up and returned to his side. Her expression was coy as she replied, her cheeks flushed.

"I'd like to pose for you naked. I want you to direct me…and take pictures as I…"

An authoritative gleam entered Lucian's eyes, and Rachel became hopelessly wet. "Say it, baby. I need to hear the words in order to give you what you want."

Her breathing was choppy. "I want you to shoot me while I touch myself for you."

Lucian exhaled forcefully at her words, and his cock stirred in his jeans. She ached to feel it inside her again, pushing apart her walls and possessing her. She wanted to excite him, and she couldn't wait for him to take the reins for their mutual pleasure. He noticed the direction her eyes had taken, and his eyes were clouded with passion.

"I think that can be arranged...."

Giveaway Clue #2!

Mouahahaha...

Oh, and did I mention that the story is free? *wicked grin*

Excerpt #1 of "I Heart You" ~ NC-17

Title: I Heart You

Author: Aurora Black

Publisher: Phaze

Release Date: May 28, 2007

Rachel stood in the darkness as he closed and locked the door behind her, her heavy breathing audible to her own ears. She could hear him walking towards her, his steps slow and sure. It was as if he knew to take his time, prolonging her ache and increasing her arousal. She felt like an open book around him, that all he had to do was look at her to know her secrets. He reached out for her and turned her around, his face in shadow.

Neither of them said a word as he removed their coats. He bent his head to kiss her, and she opened to accept his tongue. Rachel allowed herself to be swept away again by the taste of cinnamon, not realizing that he had moved them into the bedroom until he pulled away. He tenderly caressed her face and neck before moving down to the buttons of her red silk blouse. She could feel his calloused fingers against her exposed skin as he moved down the row of fastenings, and she shuddered.

He peeled away the blouse to reveal a matching bra, and she felt her heart beat faster at the sound of his appreciative groan. He kissed her again, his hands going to the side zipper of her skirt and sliding it down. The garment fell to the floor, and she stepped out of it. "You are so beautiful," he whispered hoarsely as he stared at her.

Rachel kicked off her pumps and laid down on his large bed, her chest heaving with desire as she looked up at him. "It's your turn now. I want to see you."

With hasty movements, Lucian stripped off his t-shirt and tossed it to the floor. She felt her mouth water at the sight of his broad chest, his dusky nipples begging for her to lick them. The dark trail of hair called out to her, bringing her gaze down to his magnificent abdomen before disappearing into the waistband of his jeans. She licked her lips, wanting to take his cock into her mouth.

Lucian got rid of his boots and socks before walking to the side of the bed. He reached for his belt, his silver eyes speaking of pleasures yet to come. He unbuckled it, dragging it slowly through the belt loops. For her, the wait was excruciating. She began to rise from the bed, but he stopped her with a firm "no."

She grew more excited by the power behind his tone, and she fell back against the pillows. Her mind reeled at what was about to happen. His hand went to the button fly of his jeans, and she forgot to breathe. His eyes never leaving her face, he yanked it open and she saw the outline of his cock as it strained against his briefs. She rolled her nipples through the lace of her bra, hot for him. "Lucian, please..."

He placed the belt on the bed before climbing on top of her. She released a sexy whimper at the feel of his weight on her body, purposefully inflaming him with the sound.

Rachel eyed the belt beside her and flushed with need. In the past, she had asked other lovers to dominate and restrain her in bed, but they refused. Frustrated by the lack of power games in her real life, she began to write novels that featured all the things that she had wanted for herself. Her latest book, Love's Captive, was known as her hottest work of all time.

She stretched her arms above her head, her breasts riding high and drawing his gaze. Closing her eyes, she felt the delicious helplessness that she had craved for so long. All the nights that she had lain in bed touching herself, imagining a strong man moving powerfully above and within her, taking her to incredible heights.

"You want this, don't you?" His throaty whisper teased her senses, and she opened her eyes to see him watching her, his long fingers stroking the belt he held. Breathless, she nodded.

He wanted it too; she knew it from the way his hands stroked her skin as he moved her wrists to the bars that made up the headboard, from his deep groan when he wrapped the leather belt around them. He tightened the strap, sealing her fate.

Coming May 28th to Phaze!

Funny Birthday Memories / Giveaway Clue #1

What is your funniest birthday memory?

Off the top of my head, the funniest thing that happened on my birthday was when I turned 10 and my parents threw me a party in the local park. All my school friends were there, lots of delicious goodies and presents...then suddenly this huge pack of dogs rushed across the grass, howling at the top of their lungs because one of my gifts was this huge stuffed cat doll that meows (very realistically) when you press one of its paws. The dogs went nuts! Someone moved the cat doll out of the dogs' reach, thank goodness. It was hilarious.

Your turn! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? *wink*

Skylar Sinclair's "The Stud Farm"
http://www.king-cart.com/Phaze/product=The+Stud+Farm+by+Skylar+Sinclair

Hell hath no fury like a young man taken advantage of by an older man that knew all the right buttons to push and how to set his skin on fire with his hands, mouth and tongue, only to devastate him after using his body shamelessly, brutally. Then patting him on the ass afterwards, treating him as if he were no better than a piece of used meat--unfeeling and uncaring of the young man’s feelings.

Dale King was that young man, but no longer is he an inexperienced gay boy, but a big droolicious-tongue hanging out-cock teasing hunk. With a full mane of tawny hair down to his fine ass and muscles from head to toes, at over six foot four, he could stop traffic in the middle of rush hour. There was not a man (straight or gay) or woman alive that would not snap a joint to double take when he crossed their paths. Dale is a cross between the Terminator gone Fabio on a grand scale.

He is going back to the place and to the man that had ripped his heart out of his chest that day eight years ago. Dale King was going to become the ultimate male stripper at The Stud Farm and make Preston Hayman, its owner, wish he never laid his eyes, much less his hands on him when he gets through with his brand of sexual revenge!

Stage Fright by Jude Mason

I was lucky enough to get an advance read of an upcoming Phaze release, and I am so excited about this story. Monogomous erotica is a favorite of mine to read and write, so when I come across a piece that is done so beautifully, I can't keep quiet. Make sure you look for this one when it releases next month! -- Jenna Allen
