And today launches the Fall into Romance Blog Hop! It runs from Sept. 13 through Sept. 21, a full nine days of fun and giveaways. Take your time, hop at your leisure and enjoy!
Today I'm so happy to tell you about two ebooks, both short, hot stories that will satisfy your cravings.
The first is a little gem I discovered through Decadent Publishing's 1 Night Stand series - Dominique Eastwick's Strawberry Kisses.
Are they ready to gamble on a 1Night Stand?
Gavin hides behind numbers. Since his wife left him, the only thing he cares about is his son and his job. One failed relationship was enough, but if the right curvaceous woman came into the picture he just might manipulate the numbers a bit.
Can two meddling sisters enlist Madame Eve to bring Mia and Gavin together and show them two is always better than one?
A sumptuously delicious tale, short but with all the best ingredients! A realistic, curvy, intelligent heroine and a shy, sexy hero with a heart of gold - I loved it!
Here's an excerpt to tease you a little more:
“Do you want the next strawberry with chocolate, or
champagne?” He popped the cork.
“I, um....” She slowed her breathing, trying hard to concentrate on his words. “I’ve never had champagne and strawberries.”
“Really?” As he smiled, the first real smile she’d seen on his face was breathtaking, She could only nod since somewhere between her mouth and her brain she’d lost the ability to form simple words.
Pouring one glass of the bubbly wine, he took a sip, smiled then grabbed another plump berry. He rubbed it slightly on her lower lip. “Take a bite.”
He didn’t have to tell her twice. She bit, then savored, as he raised the flute and tilted it just enough for her to get a swallow of the liquid. Her eyes widened as the tastes of the fruit and champagne fused in her mouth.
“Another bite then?” He didn’t wait for her answer, giving her another piece and let her enjoy the fruit for what it was, savoring and treasuring as some of the best she’d ever had.
She opened her eyes just in time to see his close, and his mouth settle over hers. Her lips parted and a rush of champagne from his mouth filled her own. The fizzy liquid overwhelmed her senses. If she could have let out an ooh, she would have. But all she could think about was his tongue dancing with hers. His left hand still holding the flute, he wrapped it around her waist, pulling her closer.

Eva LeFoy's Sweet Cravings was another delectable read. Another realistic heroine, complete with insecurities about her weight, and it will leave you hungry for um, cream puffs. :)
After a red-hot date, her chef disappears, and Violet’s emotions simmer to a boil, forcing her to confront the awful truth: there’s more to life than pastry.
Excerpt
I ducked into the kitchen before the bored-looking maître d’ could accost
me and found myself heating up at the sight of a stainless steel table.
Sous-chefs in white hats and dishwashers with racks of clean plates bustled
back and forth down the aisle in front of me, but I didn’t spot the pastry chef
in their midst. I almost gave up and left before noticing the light was on in
the “secret kitchen.” I gulped.
My knees went weak, and I stood frozen to the spot. Inside me,
determination, embarrassment, and heady desire warred. I wanted so bad to turn
and walk out, find another caterer, and be done with it. But I couldn’t.
There’d be questions. Chuck would want to know why he wasn’t getting the best
French-trained chef in town, and I’d be up shit creek without a paddle. What
could I say? Sorry, I didn’t mean to have hot, sweaty sex with the guy—if
I’d known you’d need him the next week, I would have waited?
See what else Violet and her sexy chef Max do in his secret kitchen, and if
you have time, whip up a batch of cream puffs to eat while you read! (Recipe
included in book).
