HELLO FRIDAY FLAMERS!
I love sharing the work of others! And as you know, here on
THE FLAMES, the steamier, the better.
Be sure to share your own HOT scene and include the links to find you.
To ignite the fire, please welcome Christine Warner as she starts us off by heating things up!
Christine and I have known each other for a few years now. Her career is taking off and exciting times are rolling in — I’m so excited for her!
Take it away, Christine!
What should a
woman do when sparks fly in the kitchen? Ignite the fire!
Especially if it’s a man as sexy as businessman Chet Castle creating the
friction. 🙂

Jill Adgate
wants three things from life: a successful catering business, a family, and the
love of an exceptional man. What she has is no job, a mounting pile of bills,
and her outspoken best friend—who sets her up on a blind date with the man who
inadvertently ruined Jill’s life.

and her outspoken best friend—who sets her up on a blind date with the man who

Chet Castle is a
businessman who has everything, except the ability to trust. Burned by a
money-hungry fiancée, he refuses to get involved in any relationship that has a
shelf life longer than a head of lettuce.

The excerpt I’m sharing has a little taste from both
Jill and Chet’s perspective. ENJOY!

EXCERPT:
Her body hummed as his smile
wavered. Although he wore sunglasses, she’d bet her last dollar his gaze swept
across her chest, lingering on the betrayal of her pert nipples pushing against
the fabric of her suit.

Until this moment, shyness
had never been a trait she possessed. Air stalled in her lungs, her palms grew
sweaty, and she itched to cover herself with a towel. Even though her replica vintage
swimsuit hid more than most sets of women’s underwear, she felt too exposed.
She turned to the side slightly and folded her legs up. Not that it helped, but
it made her feel a bit less exposed.

Chet slid his feet from his
sandals, brushing a hand through his hair. The heat from the sun wasn’t the
only thing scorching her skin. She trickled several droplets of water over her
arms, but she couldn’t drag her focus from his toned flesh.

Jill soaked in his ripped abs
and the obvious package of goodies covered by his brown swimsuit—the same sexy
brown as his hair. Damn, did a man have a right to fill out a pair of swimming trunks
like that? Flecks of hair, just enough to give him a manly

She licked her lips, hoping
she could still speak. “Do you want some privacy?” Yes, say yes. She
needed an excuse to make an escape without coming off like someone desperate to
be making an exit.

…
Hell no, he didn’t want
privacy. Through the shield of his sunglasses, he inspected her body from the
tips of her pink-painted toenails to the top of her brightly flowered swimming
cap. Did people still actually wear those things? “No, you look comfortable.
Stay and enjoy the day.”

“Sure.”
Amazed at his own ability to
talk without his tongue hitting the cement, Chet turned to throw his towel and
sunglasses on a nearby lounge chair. Damn.

The red and white polka-dot
halter-style suit featured a tight bodice, but her slender hips and shapely
thighs hiding beneath a matching skirt grabbed his attention until all oxygen
left his blood. Even showing less skin than the average girl on the beach, she
far xceeded sexy and alluring.

Get a grip, Castle. She’s
off limits, no matter how delectable.

He turned and stepped onto
the diving board. He bounced along the surface as he made his way over the
water. When he looked at Jill’s bathing cap covering her head, he held back his
grin. The neon rubber flowers reminded him of something his grandmother
would’ve worn, but there the similarity ended. Everything beneath that cap was
far from making him think of Grandma.

A bit about Christine:
Christine Warner is living her dream in Michigan along with her husband, three children, one laptop and a much loved assortment of furry friends.
Besides laughing and a good round of humor, she enjoys spending time with her family, cooking, reading, writing but no arithmitic. A confessed people watcher, she finds inspiration for her stories in everyday activities. She loves to read and write about strong heroes and determined, sometimes sassy, heroines.
A girl gone wild, at least where social media is concerned, she enjoys meeting other avid readers and writers on facebook, twitter and her website.

WOOT WOOT! Thanks Sheri for letting me kick off Friday Flames…I'm honored. I can't wait to read all the other HAWT scenes 🙂
Let the heat begin and the ice water flow freely to keep us all in line! lol
It's always a pleasure to have you on The Flames!
This one comes from my latest release, WESTERN DESERT, Book Two in the Chronicles of Lily Carmichael, a YA Dystopian trilogy. This is probably the steamiest scene in the book, but i thinkit qualifies as "hawt"! Thanks for inviting us. I can't wait to read the other entries. BTW, yours above, Christine…I'm already sweating:-)
Will took me down into the water and my legs circled around his waist as our mouths and bodies sought to fuse together. Thoughts whirled through my head at a million miles an hour. Danger signals clanged like church bells in my head and I pulled back and gasped for breath. “I can’t…I want to… but I can’t.” The words rushed out and my hands fell to Will’s shoulders, ready to push him away if he couldn’t bring himself to stop. But his grip on my hips eased immediately and he lowered me to the ground. He took my face… Read more »
I actually wanted to put the first part of that up since it was the juiciest part:-)Here are my links:http://www.amazon.com/Western-Desert-Chronicles-Carmichael-ebook/dp/B00DJUHZS8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1371947259&sr=8-2&keywords=western+desert+by+pj+sharon BN: http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/western-desert-carol-lacoss/1115772401?ean=2940016451213 Smashwords: http://www.smashwords.com/books/view/328282 Here's the sweet and steamy part: I studied his face, a complex mask of sharp angles and soft skin, eyes full of emotion and intensity. “At this moment, you are exactly who I want…the only one I want…” As I lay a tentative kiss on his mouth, tension thrummed through Will’s body and a new awareness grew between us. I had only imagined this moment a thousand times. All of my fears scattered and I reached… Read more »
Hot comes in lots of different ways, and your YA is HOT! You need to post your buy links, PJ!!!
In my defense, LOL, the buy links weren't there when I hit "publish" on my comment. LOL. Thanks!
Great excerpt.I have an excerpt that takes place in the kitchen – so I thought I'd go with the cncept.From my latest – Capri's Fate – erotic contemporary fantasy Exiting Capri's room, Thall paused and checked his reflection, faded jeans and what she'd called a lickable six-pack. The thought of her tongue gliding over his stomach and chest pulsed a shiver through him that ended in his balls. He bit back a groan, entered the kitchen and watched Capri's eyes as she scanned his shirtless chest.He stepped behind her, slid his hand around her waist and pulled her close. "How… Read more »
I'm reading your book right now and haven't come to this part yet. And let me tell everyone – This book is STEAMIN' HOT!
Thanks for sharing 🙂
Thanks for hosting this, Sheri! This one comes from my new release (just out today) Bases Loaded – Mustangs Baseball #3. “Got to have you,” he said.Supporting her with one hand, he shoved her chair out of the way and lowered her to the floor.God, the man could move fast. Home plate to first base in three point nine seconds. He stood, stripped off his jeans and boots, yanked his shirt over his head, and dropped to his knees between her splayed legs, wearing nothing but his socks and a pair of white cotton briefs. He worked her skirt up… Read more »
I love the title of this book! And what a scorcher it is! Roz, the temperature just rose 10 degrees in here…whew! Thank you so much for stopping by!
I'm new to this, and since I'm now in a sweat after reading these posts, I offer mine. This is from my recently released time travel, A Tumble Through Time: Every reason he had to avoid making love to his wife had flown out the window the minute their lips met. He was tired of denying himself the passion she had awakened in him, passion that he’d never felt for another woman. Seeing her come through the door to the jailhouse, frazzled as she was, had convinced him of his feelings. She was his, for as long as he could… Read more »

Thanks.
Oooh, that was absolutely beautiful! Full of heartfelt emotions that leap off the page. Awesomeness! Thank you for sharing this scene, Callie!! WHEW! Air conditioner just clicked on…
Great job, everyone!From Promise Me Eden, a contemporary western: Carrying the bouquet of yellow daffodils meant for Eden, Maura entered Adam’s house. She gave him a flirtatious smile as she stepped over the threshold. Adam ignored the guilt churning in his gut. He hadn’t left Eden. She deserted him. Leaving the lights low, hoping Maura wouldn’t be grossed out by the condition of his dirty house, Adam led her to the couch. Swiping a pile of newspapers and unfolded clothes to the floor, he sat and pulled Maura across his lap. He tossed his Stetson aside and wrapped his arms… Read more »
HURRY HURRY!! *slamming my second glass of iced tea* Holy hotness, Batman! I need to wipe the steam from my screen!

Wow-ZA! I need to turn on the AC early today – and NOT because of the outside temps. So smokin' hot excerpts today! Here's mine from my brand new release, EROTIC ESCAPADES OF A MARRIED COUPLE. Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DOAYJKA Grif stalked into the room. “Very nice.” Panic choked her chest as she gauged her husband’s reaction. Though this had been his idea, was he really okay that his best friend had just fucked his wife? “How long you been standing there, babe?” He pulled his shirt over his head. “Long enough.” He sat on the bed then leaned over and… Read more »
I'm pretty sure this is a first on The Flames – a married couple bringing in an enthusiastic third partner! Definitely HOT material. *looks for fire extinguisher…just in case*
LOL! Thanks Sheri!
Thanks for giving us a chance to share our excerpts and to read others! This excerpt is from Undercover Vices, available at Amazon, B&N, Smashwords, Apple, etc. Reed kicked the bedroom door open and stripped the satin comforter off the bed. When Cassie hit the sheets, he was already on top of her, tugging her tee shirt over her head. “I’m sorry. I can’t wait. I have to touch you, taste you. I didn’t get a chance earlier, and it’s been driving me crazy ever since.” Her jeans and panties followed the tee shirt to the floor, and goose bumps… Read more »
Oh! What a tease!! Or maybe torture? Hehehe Excellent excerpt, Tori! You're cranking the heat here today!
Great excerpts! Here's mine, seduction with some fireworks thrown in to get us ready for the upcoming US holiday. Damn, he looked fine sitting there in the glow of the candle. Her pulse pounded and moisture formed between her legs, but her conscience nudged her, reminding her that a sexual encounter with Tristan would be trouble. It could end their working relationship and cause problems with Adam. “I really don’t know that much about you. We’re always concentrating on lessons when you’re here. Tell me something you like to do in your free time.” Star struggled to keep her voice… Read more »

Seraphina Donavan
You're welcome to post from your backlist too! All of your books are steamy-licious!
From my WIP Hunters of Seraphim: Jadin They chatted a bit more about island going-ons until there was nothing more to say. Standing they made their way back to quarters, noting that the others had already turned in for the night. Bidding his brother a goodnight, he headed up to his room, the largest in the compound and stripped down for a much needed shower. Seraphim saw to it that they had the bare necessities on the island and working plumbing was one of them. As he washed away the sweat, dirt and stress of the day he imagined Angela’s… Read more »
This is your WIP? Well burn me alive – when will you publish this lava bed of scorching goodness? DX Luc, you've done it again!
I'm working on it! On another steamy scene as we speak!
Hot excerpts, ladies!! 🙂
It's certainly blazing hot here at the Flames!
This is from The Secret Life of Miss Anna Marsh, not on pre-order. Sebastian lifted her up and carried her to the bed. “You’re my love and my life. I don’t know what I’d do if anything happened to you.” He unbuttoned her nightgown and pushed it open, revealing her breasts. The air was cold, but her breasts heated, wanting his touch. He cupped them and weighed them as if trying to decide what to do, then like a feather, his lips grazed one nipple. Desire thrummed through her and wet heat pooled between her legs. She panted, wanting him… Read more »
Historical hotness at its best! Rutherford is a very naughty boy. Anna better have something equally frustrating to offer him! Ahh! It's a long wait for your release, but I can hardly wait. Congratulations!
Thanks, Sheri!
Wow, loved all the sexcerpts. Way to bring the heat!
Woo-wee! And it's starting to melt my hard drive. Thank you for stopping by!!
