The Way Back to Me

Lexi Reynolds is facing a game changer. Three years ago, under the insistence of her husband, she walked away from a promising career as a special education specialist with her eyes set on becoming an administrator so that she could be a stay-at-home wife and mother. Now with the demise of her marriage along with her self-esteem and heart, Lexi must face the task of building a new life.

Layla Karsten is not one to sit idly on the side lines. Seeing the crushed spirit of her sister, Lexi, she is bound and determined to push her sister back in life....even if it means tapping into Lexi's inner slut to do it.

OMG this book had the most hilarious moments! I was laughing so 
hard I was crying!!

My husband thinks I am officially crazy now.

Lexi Reynolds is 39 years old and she is getting some Hot Steamy Raunchy Sex with some Smoking Hot Men!!!! It's an awesome story about a women who gives up everything for her family just to have it taken from her by a cheating husband. Well that wasn't the awesome part the awesome part is her finding her inner slut! After all the laughing and sweating from the Hot sex I started to get worried that Lexi's world was going to come crashing 

down and it did in a way but you have to read it to
 find if it all works out for her. 

Great ending.

Quotes:

"Really? Why are they called "laugh lines?" I seriously doubt that I was laughing that much."

"If I am going to help you out here, I am going to have a request that you  close your legs. I don't need to see your whispering eye staring at me. It makes me slightly uncomfortable."

"Oh Shit, I think you can braid my leg hair."

"His voice alone has evoked my pussy into becoming very moist."

"Sebastian almost died here today! No on grabs my damn phone from my hand and lives to tell about it."

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

I am a stay-at-home mom for the second year in a row. My three young children keep me on my toes as well as our crazy dog and hamster. Thank goodness I have such a loving and supportive husband!!

Writing has been my secret goal that I put on my bucket list of things to do before I hit 40. As my loving sister pointed out to me last summer, I turn 40 in a few short months. There are definitely things that were on the bucket list that I had to just remove. For instance, I will never be a size 6 again. I removed it from my list by tearing it off and shredding it.

However, writing was one that I just couldn't bring myself to erase from the list. Knowing this about me, my sister pushed and prodded me to just start writing something...she strongly suggested something with adult content.

So caving to her pressure, I started to write The Way Back To Me. I gradually pulled her into the writing process as she had spent an enormous amount of time reading "mommy porn" and together we completed The Way Back To Me in November 2012. We have already started a sequel that should be ready to go by the end of February 2013.

I am also in the beginning process of another romance novel that I hope to complete by the summer of 2013.

The "Why" Behind The Way Back To Me

I read a ton of romance books over the summer for "research" purposes (according to my children, my "research" turned into an addiction along the way). What did my "research" show? It showed that they are mostly about women between the ages of 21 and 28. After about reading thirty or so romances about 21 year old women, I started to become irritated as I began to reflect on my own 20's. The irritation set in because the stuff in those books never ever happened to me. Nothing remotely similar. The only guys that tried to pick me up in a smoky bar were the unattractive ones that I couldn't understand. Sure, I shouldn't have been in the club at Hotel Intercontinental; however, I was hoping to bump into a nice Irish or English guy. And I still cringe when I think about the man that took my "V" card. I say man because he was 25 and should have known what he was doing. He talked the talk, but couldn't walk the walk and I was sadly disappointed.

I don't want to read books that make me reminisce about my past. I want to read books about women in their late thirties, pushing forty or have passed it. However, those books are hard to find. And when you do find them, they seem to sugar coat life.

With that in mind, the characters of Lexi Reynolds and Layla Karsten were born. Two sisters facing two different crossroads. The Way Back to Me (TWBTM) picks up as Lexi is struggling to get out of her depression brought on by her divorce combined with the sacrifices she made for her family through the years. After she finds a way to jump back into life, she begins to test the limits of her sexuality. Does she drop the fbomb a lot? Yes, because sometimes, that's real life.

Layla's story (TWBTM 2)is currently being written. As a secondary character in the first book, Layla was constantly pushing the envelope sexually. TWBTM 2 is about Layla's journey to find out why she is doing this and how the consequences of her actions play havoc on her marriage and her career. She has to learn the hard way about what happens when you're given a "free pass" after being with someone for 22 years.

Both stories are filled with "did that just happen" situations that might seem farfetched; however, so does losing your "V" card to a hot guy that happens to be a billionaire that is into BDSM and wants to marry you within 3 months.

The Preacher's Son

I showed up in backwater little Yazoo City Mississippi expecting to find solitude and a fresh start. I just left my wealthy, neglectful husband--with a couple million dollars belonging to him, I might add. When I got to Yazoo, though, I didn't find any solitude, that's for sure. I ended up in the arms of an oh so sexy young man named Tre McNabb. The problem? 

Tre is the preacher's son. 

Sex with Tre was supposed to be a distraction from my troubled life, but the more time we spent together, the more I discovered I was in for a whole different kind of trouble. The problem, you see, was I'd unleashed a passion in an innocent preacher's son that neither of us were ready for.

Tre was proving to be far more than a distraction. Oh, my lord. When I first met him in little Yazoo City, Mississippi, I thought he was a hot guy who could give 

me a good time for a day or two. 

I'm discovering now how very wrong I was. The question is, will my past, and the man from it, allow me the luxury of choosing? 

*****************

Oh the title alone should was enough to know it was going to be a steamy book. It's so hot when an older women seduce a younger man especially a smok'n hot virgin! I felt bad for Tre since it seemed Shea didn't have any regard for his future knowing what would happen after she seduced him. It however was made clear it was Tre's choice and it was a choice that was coming wether it was her or not. Well after that it just got steamier from there. They couldn't keep their hands off of each other. Trouble comes along and Tre turns out to be more than the hot sexy preachers son. The last book an event happens that changes everything. You will have to read to find out if Shea ends up falling in love with Tre or if it's just a sex thing. 
Lot and Lots of sex throughout. Ending was fabulous!

Confessions of an Alli Cat

Thirty-five year-old Allison "Alli" Lancaster has it all--a fabulous job, a beautiful 15 year-old daughter, a hilarious BFF and a gorgeous house with a pool and Jacuzzi in an exclusive Las Vegas neighborhood. What she doesn't have is a husband, because she kicked her lousy, cheating ex to the curb nine months ago. Since then, Alli has paid her dues with seemingly endless self-improvement and seemingly endless mourning. Now she's ready to move on and try new things. 

Alli's idea of "trying new things" is nothing like that devil-of-a-best-friend of hers. Somehow, Sara, the devil of a best friend, talks Alli into trying out a sex toy, sleeping with a younger man and letting a stranger in a lab jacket put hot wax on a place that should never, ever, ever see wax. And that's only the beginning. 

Alli never saw her life going quite like this. She also never thought she'd meet someone else who had the very real potential to change her life forever. 

But she did. 

Enter the new guy. He's gorgeous, refined and mature. He's also marriage material. But that poses a problem for Alli, who renounced the institution of marriage when she renounced her ex. What's a girl to do?

They say that what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas. But what the heck happens when you can't leave Vegas? Well, you spin the wheel, of course. You play the game and let the chips fall where they may. 

Alli just hopes she can find them all.

Hilarious meets Hot!

This book is so funny I was giggling out loud while reading it.

But it was also hot hot hot!

I never wanted this book to end.

It's one fumble after another and I found myself cringing when Alli found herself in situations that I could see coming a mile away but there was no stopping it. Alli makes the best of every one of those situations and it turns out to be hilarious. 

THIS IS A MUST READ BOOK!

Quotes:

"Her kind of crazy is like the avocado kind of crazy- the good kind."

"Welcome to Crazy Town. I hope you enjoy your stay."

"Today starts the liberation of Allison. Or at least her too-hah."

"I laugh at the thought that a beaver is going to stimulate my beaver."

"Yep, I'm gonna ride him like a runaway bull tonight, No two ways about it."

"Oh, you flatter! If either of us swung that way, we'd be perfect together. But, alas, I'm a sausage lover, as are you. No tacos for us."

"I'm in love with his grin. I want to find a luxury apartment in SoHo or some equally cool neighborhood and co-habitate with it and have its little grin babies. That's how much I love it."

" "Not now, Sara." I say through gritted teeth. "I'm apologizing to my vagina." "

Bonds of Trust

After ending her passionless marriage, Cali Reynolds is eager to live out her forbidden fantasies. Her first step is attending new members' night at The Den, the most exclusive sex club in town. Perhaps here she can find a man who understands her desire to be dominated...

At first, Jake McCallister thinks Cali has come to his club for the wrong reasons. But when he discovers she is seeking fulfillment after years of denial, he's intrigued—and takes it upon himself to initiate her into the pleasures she's been missing.

Her first encounter with Jake is everything Cali has always craved, and more; she's not prepared for the feelings he inspires in her. And Jake is just as surprised by his overwhelming attraction to Cali. As their play intensifies, so does their bond. Now, Jake doesn't want anyone but Cali—but is he ready to officially claim her? And will she submit to being his forever?

*****************

I couldn't put this book down.

I loved that Cali is 44 years old and Jake is younger, mid-late 30's don't think it really said exactly.

Cali really has come issues with BDSM and feeling that her needs are wrong and what people might think of her. She seems to be getting over it when an event happens and it all goes to hell. 

Jake has his own issues of running when things start to get good for him but he's not sure if Cali is enough to get him to stay. The events catapults him into taking off. 

You will have to read it to see if they find their way back to each other.

End had good closure. Hot kinky sex throughout (doesn't over do it).
