ROWENA THROUGH THE
WALL

“Rowena!”
He
grabbed my arm and swung me around. Then his arms were around me, his mouth on
mine and there was madness. I clung to him like a drowning swimmer fighting to
stay above water. His fingers twisted in my hair, pulling me closer. I fell
into him, his coal black eyes, his strong embrace, the fire in his body, in his
kiss.

put his mouth to the place where my neck meets my shoulder. And then―dear
God―he bit down hard. I cried out in shock. His hands ripped my dress from the
neckline, yanking it down my arms, frantic to get it off my hips.

We
were on the bare ground. His mouth found my breast, taking as much of it as he
could. His right hand cupped the other one, kneading it, rolling the nipple
between his thumb and finger. Then he latched onto that and I roiled beneath
him, moaning, my legs already apart.

His
mouth was on mine again, demanding more, and I felt him moving against me. Heat
surged over me, through me. He raised his face, looked into my eyes and then
arched over me. He took me swiftly, his control slipping, changing to frenzy.

This
was no dream, but something more sinister, wild and frightening. I fell into a

men in battle. A broadsword appeared in my hand.

Note from the Author:
The Land’s End series starting with ROWENA THROUGH THE WALL
is meant to be fun, comedic fantasy, and indeed, has been called “Hot and
hilarious!” plus “The Princess Bride with Sex” by reviewers. But in this excerpt, I set out to present the
other side to the story…the overwhelming passion that Rowena experiences in
this medieval world through the wall.

When Rowena falls
through her classroom wall into a medieval world, she doesn’t count on being
kidnapped – not once, but twice, dammit. Unwanted husbands keep piling up; not
only that, she has eighteen-year-old Kendra to look out for, and a war to
prevent. Good thing she can go back
through the wall when she needs to…or can she?

…. THE FLAMES
AHHHHHH, loved this excerpt!!!
Thank you, Brenda! I must be getting braver. But I think my crime writer friends are in shock.
I loved Rowena Through the Wall, and the next book following as well. Both EXCELLENT!Here's my contribution to FRIDAY FLAMES. From my sensual fantasy romance, PORTALS OF OZ Abelia's eyes widened when his engorged cock sprang free of his jeans, then she licked her lips and smiled. A subtle hip rotation coupled with her unconscious pelvic thrust, and he nearly came unglued before they even began. One-handed, he shoved his pants down, past his thighs. Jack hooked an arm behind her knee and stretched her leg up high. With his other hand, he held his rigid penis and bathed the… Read more »
Oh sweet hotness, Sheri. This scene is boiling!
I loved the Rowena books, too – great stuff!
Thank you, James! So kind of you to comment.
This comes from my newest –Enchanted Skye — a story of Alexander MacCodrum, a Selkie trapped by an ancient and potentially deadly charm. Here, overcome by grief and circumstances beyond her control, Jenna gets locked in the room with Alex and ends up drinking too much scotch. After getting off to a very bad start, she warms up to him..or is that the scotch talking? ……………..Standing before with a blazing hard-on, his breath froze at the look in her eyes. Jenna watched him strip his clothing. Sultry slurred words hurried him along. “You have a very …nice…” Her words trailed… Read more »
I absolutely LOVE this excerpt, Rose! Well done! And your Selkie is a man after my heart with his sense of humor. *added to my TBR list*
Maggie reached down and grabbed a particularly large and scary edition of The Oxford Unabridged English Dictionary and held it up over her shoulder with both hands. She continued to inch toward the body. Finally her vision broke the edge of the last bookcase hiding him and all the air rushed out of her lungs. He was huge, large, ginormous, and every other large adjective she could think of. He was also very naked. She moved in further, against her better judgment; the instinct to make sure he was okay was more than she could resist. She scooted books out… Read more »
Wow! She must really like books! I wonder how many she came armed with. Poor guy, it's a wonder he stayed in the mood. Sounds like an interesting read. 🙂 Thank you so much for stopping by!!
Here's a scene from my paranormal romance novel, Love's Prophecy. This scene is a little tamer than I normally post–but the book is filled with plenty of steamy scenes. Mel nudged her legs apart with his knee. From behind, he reached around and slid a hand over her belly, her hips, coming to rest between her legs. He rubbed her through her jeans in a slow rhythm. Knowing the answer, he asked anyway, needing to hear her say the words. “Why could you hardly wait?” Breeana rocked back and forth, grinding herself against his hand. She leaned the back of… Read more »
LOVE your vampires, Brenda. They're so HOT and yummy good. *Sheri flicks on the fan* Getting a little warm in here, I think!
Nice Brenda. Think we'll call you and Sheri the Steam Queen's.

LOL! Only if it comes with crown.
Hey Sheri, I'll see your steamy and up ya volcanic. LOL. Hugs. Too Grand For Words http://www.amazon.com/Grand-BookStrand-Publishing-Romance-ebook/dp/B006C3M5K2/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1380305751&sr=8-1&keywords=too+grand+for+words “Patience—Mr. Porter—is also a virtue.” She slid her breasts down his chest, her tongue lingering on his nipple as she rolled it in her teeth. Her warm breath blew across his skin, and the anticipation made his desire crush every thought except for her. Slowly, she rid him of his pants, agonizingly so. Her lips roamed across his hips, her tongue leaving a sizzling trail down to the root of his shaft, but not taking him into her mouth. She toyed with him… Read more »
Well slap my a$$, Natasza! Mr. Porter is very impatient in all the sexy ways. If that doesn't heat up your screen, I don't know what will!
It's heating up, here at THE FLAMES….
Holy flying BLEEP BLEEP, and BLEEEEEEP!
Natasza, this scene is explosive!!!
Such wonderful excerpts. Here's mine from The Garnet Dagger:With her hand in mine, I moved her to me. Hungrily, my lips sought hers. I yearned to show her my love. I pressed her against me, my fingers played over the curve of her hips. As we kissed, her hands touched my face, and then tugged at my trousers. Heat pressed against me. Then her lips trailed kisses down my chest. Shyly, she gazed up at me. Fingers unfastened her cloak. The material floated down in a circle behind her. Mesmerized, I watched her hands loosen the laces of her gown.… Read more »
And? And? Ahhh! I better get the book so I can read what happens next. Thanks so much for stopping by, Andrea!
Hot stuff today!From an untitled WIP:Starla sipped without tasting. She moved around the spacious room, stopping at the complex entertainment system. A multitude of knobs confused her. “How do you turn this thing on?”He brushed up against her back, reached around her and flipped one of the knobs. His breath was warm on her ear. “Like this.”Soft country music filled the room. His erection pressed against her bottom told her more than the stereo was turned on. She tilted her head sideways and he nibbled her bare neck. Shivers danced up and down her spine. One by one, he removed… Read more »
I know your cowboys, and they're HOT! I know they'll be two-stepping to the bedroom in a few more paragraphs – Yee-Haw!! Thanks for sharing, D'Ann!
Here's a little excerpt from my Regency romance: “As long as you live, no one will ever hurt you again.” He leaned over and took the very tip of a nipple in his mouth, flicked then grazed it with his teeth. He swept the entire breast with his tongue, sucking and teasing the turgid point, while kneading the other breast with his fingertips, exploring the luscious curves and dips of her glorious body. The lush delights of her body, normally hidden from sight now lay free and open to his heated perusal. The hills and valleys of her breasts and… Read more »
Nancy! What the heck is the name of your book? Is this out yet? I hope to see more of Tristan and Victoria. Whew! They're a HOT couple!
Not yet..get ready to send it out and pitch it! Right now The Duke's Frozen Heart (although he seems pretty hot here huh?)
Here is an excerpt from RANSOM, a book penned under Erica Sutherhome, one of my other pen names. He squeezed her breast, and that secret place tingled, became wet again. She shifted on her feet, uncomfortable with the sensation. “Are you quite through?”“I haven’t even begun. Would you like to find out what more can be done? How good I can make you feel?”She shivered, and refused to give him the satisfaction of a reply. Groaning, he grabbed her and lifted her against him. Then he carried her into an adjacent room, where he slammed the door behind him. He… Read more »
…his lips raced down to her belly. LOVE IT!
Great excerpts!! I don't have one this week, but I will next Friday!! Tweeted.
Awesome excerpts, ladies!! 🙂
From my up-coming release Chasing LoveAs soon as the door clicked closed behind them, she turned the tables on him. Tugging his western shirt from his pants, she jerked the shirt open, thank goodness it was snaps, and using the shirt tails as handles, walked backwards towards the bed, pulling him along in her wake.When the back of her knees hit the mattress, she flopped back onto the bed, pulling him down on top of her. Chase’s submission ended there. He took over with a vengeance, pinning her to the bed and taking her mouth. Damn the man could kiss.… Read more »
Forget the air condition! I need a refrigeration unit installed. Tamara – WHEW! You gotta throw us a bone (hehehe) and give us a website or blog where we can follow you so we can jump on release (hehehe) day! I can't wait for this one. WOW! Thanks for sharing your HOT Friday Flames excerpt!
Hi, Sheri, Thanks for the op to post an excerpt about my upcoming Cosmo Red-Hot Read from Harlequin (Oct 2013) In NAKED SUSHI Pepper O'Malley is a girl who writes code and gets caught in the copy room at midnight with her pants down. She can't believe it when the guy she thinks is the new video game designer comes on to her, a tech-head. What she doesn't know is that he's an FBI hottie trying to get the goods on her sleazy boss… ———– The stirrings of a powerful orgasm built inside me. That delicious spiraling up of something… Read more »
First of all, I love sushi. Therefore I love the title of your book. And what better way to eat sushi than naked? Two thumbs up on your copy machine sex scene. LOL! Best wishes on your book release!!
Have I said how gorgeous I think this site is? It is absolutely stunningly beautiful (and I'm a career marketing director!)
I'm sorry, what did you say? Could you repeat that, please? (hehehe) Thanks, Melodie!!
