Sascha has a new Personal Assistant!

I’d like to take a second and ask you to welcome my new personal assistant, Katie Sparkles to the fold.  Since my previous PA had to return to the work force for personal reasons, I’ve been floating aloof because she did so damn much for me.  She let me breathe, freak out, but mostly she let me write for you.

Katie Sparkles is going to take over and already has Diane’s blessing.  I couldn’t be happier to have someone doing the tough nerve wracking things for me once again so I can do all of the above and knock out only the hottest, heart warming romance novels you’ve all come to enjoy.

Please join me in welcoming her to the team!

There’s a lot going on in the Sascha Illyvich universe as always.  Soon there will be the standard work load post but I’m going to change things up a bit in hopes of bringing in some of my writer friends to share the pain LOL!

Until then, know I’m working on an exciting new 1NS for Decadent, hoping to get the details right so I can set the climax in beautiful Fiji!

Crap, I actually have to do research that doesn’t involve killing someone or taking down a government or spies or guns or…

Bound After Midnight Release

1boundaftermidnight1600x2400Hello Readers,

For those of you who love erotic paranormal romance with kink, we have
something special for you! Out today at Sizzler Editions, Bound After
Midnight.

This awesome anthology features novellas by Bonni Sansom, Margie Church
and yours truly. Three tales of otherworldly romance and kink!

The ties that bind are not always visible, the universal concept of
love, not always seen clearly through the eyes of the wandering
traveler. This is no truer than in the case of Solan, a warrior with an
unknown destiny in “Finding Eternity.” Wounded on the battlefield, his
rescue by a vampire who yearns to be his proves to be too much for a man
with no concept of ownership. “Cream on the Crop” is a rather tongue
in cheek, yet powerful story about a strong willed woman of privilege
making her own way in the country until a specter appears and shows her
carnal delights through submission of more than just will. Demanding
blood lust fuels our characters in “Hunter’s Bounty,” a tale of rescue
featuring a very unlikely type of shape-shifter as love interest for our
vampire heroine. Each tale weaves the intricacies of kinky sensuality,
sensual romance and story enough to keep you turning the pages of this
hot collection. Perhaps you, too, may find yourself lucky enough to be
Bound After Midnight…

Purchase now from Sizzler Editions:

50 Gays of Shade – New Release

The cover for the highly anticipated gay Anthology 50 Gays of Shade comes out from Torquerue Press on February 13th.  Best selling author Kiernan Kelly decided to try her hand at editing and came up with this anthology, a brilliant collection of authors all writing the hottest in m/m and BDSM.

My Contribution – Into the Void – involves a dominant who let the noise of the world come crashing down on the relationship he shared with Trent, his loyal, loving 50gaysofshadesubmissive.  That is, until Shade calls and questions David’s character.

Look for the URL to purchase on February 13th!

For now, here’s the cover!

Book Review: Every Breath You Take by Hope Tarr

Agent Saritza Hernandez and I discussed expanding my reach into contemporary worlds and I thought what better way than to refresh how humans process emotions by reading through the 20 or so BLAZE novels I’ve collected.

Starting off with Every Breath You Take… By Hope Tarr was a good call.

His job is to watch over her. Every tempting inch… Scientist Alex is in over her head. It’s bad enough that a research trip to Belize has put her in danger. Then she finds out that her hired protector is ex-FBI agent Cole – the man who’d betrayed her five years ago. Re-appearing in Alex’s life is the biggest risk Cole’s ever taken. Once his undercover job forced him to abandon her. Now he has the chance to redeem himself – one scorching touch at a time. But first he must convince Alex that the safest place for her is in his bed…

Honestly, the fast pace of the book  kept me turning pages to find out more about these two different characters and how she played out a typical plot. The heart ache of these two characters and what transpired between them made me root more for Cole than anything else.  When you know you’ve let the right one go because you were stupid…

I can relate.

Added to my GoodReads shelf, an easy 4 stars.

Holiday reading material for the author!

I’m not one to really pay much mind to the holidays, honestly I just see it as an excuse to drink (more) while I write LOL!Image

But even an author needs downtime and what better way to spend it than with an escape?

On my reading list, the following titles from my local library:

Starfire – Kate Douglas.  I recently picked up DemonFire, the first in her new series NOT Chanku related and realized I’m three books behind LOL!  A quick search of her site btw revealed just how far behind I am with her work, but that’s the life of a writer!  I was fortunate enough to meet her back in ’08 at RWA Nationals!

Next up would be Cynthia Eden.  I discovered her as a reviewer for Coffee Time Romance several years back and became hooked instantly.  ImageNot only is she a hell of a storyteller, with heat and passion and romance to boot, but she’s a really sweet author!  Have yet to meet her, but Never Cry Wolf has me only 40 pages in and hooked.  Simone is a badass, there’s no doubt in my mind and I’m sure we share some of the same inspirations for heroes in our stories. So far the plot keeps getting deeper and I can’t put the book down, except that I can’t smoke cigars and read outside due to the darkness and cold!

The sex scenes…well I remember reviewing her earlier work through Kensington and them being delicious, I think you’ll enjoy the new ones too ;)   I hope I can finish this book this weekend.

Can love unite two best friends that yearn for each other, even after years have passed?

Angela does have the blessed luck to have a best friend with a very handsome body and a kind heart. She’s managed to end up single during the holidays and having Christian come up from Houston to cheer her up has made a huge difference in her life. Things were going fine until a little playfulness became arousal and they ended up making damn sure neither suffered a cold winter night together!

Christian has been incredibly blessed with his life. He’s been given the IT job of his dreams, has the income he needs to feel secure and has the support of his long time best friend, Angela. What more could he ask for? Well, turns out he asked for her in his bed, over and over again and he wound up getting it. But his work schedule interferes with their relationship and causes heartache on both sides. Will he be able to figure things out and convince her that he’s the one for her?

Excerpt -

Soft candlelight flickered in the darkness accompanied by the sounds of laughter. Angela’s bed had been covered in perfumed rose petals earlier, but some had stuck to Christian’s naked body. When he moved, some of petals fell from his body, and Angela laughed.
Blindfolded and bound, Christian stirred against his bonds. “Very cute.” He smirked.
Vanilla and jasmine added to the scent of arousal. Angela crawled over his body, watching his expression change from excitement to pure arousal as she let her breasts touch him.

“I can’t stand waiting,” Chris growled.
Angela nuzzled his neck and moved her tongue over the cleft of his ear. “Good boys get what they want only by being good.”
“What about naughty boys?”
“They get punished.” Her little dominatrix outfit suited her well. She looked in the mirror at herself. Dressed in a black skirt and matching top, with no panties, she felt sexy. She straddled Chris and slid her bottom over his chest and back towards his cock, rubbing his erection against her ass. He squirmed. She raked her nails lightly over his chest, bent down and kissed a nipple. Chris hissed when she nipped him.
“Easy, there.” Angela rubbed her slickness over him.
His cock twitched. She took him in her hand, squeezing his head lightly, and he groaned.
“You’re killing me,” he moaned.
“That’s the point. Now, the fun begins.”
She reached over to the nightstand and picked up the burning candle.
Chris couldn’t see much through the scarf covering his eyes, but when he yelped, Angela knew her action had the desired effect. His cock strained further against her ass.
“I’m dying to be inside you.”
Angela slid down his legs and drizzled wax over his chest and stomach, admiring the sight of him squirming beneath her. She was so aroused when she straddled his legs that his thighs were slick.
“You’re so wet,” he murmured. He tried to lift his hands from above his head to touch her, but remembered they were still bound. “You’re enjoying this too much.”
Angela laughed. She set down the candle. “I am. The tables are turned, Mr. Edwards. I’m in control now, and that means you’re not going anywhere.”
“Who said I’d want to?”
She sank his prick deep inside her and cried aloud when he was all the way inside. She undulated her hips and felt every inch of Chris’ cock fill her up. Leaning forward, she let her hair fall over his chest and continued to squeeze her vaginal muscles around his turgid member.
“You’re killing me,” he groaned. “Just a little more and I’ll be there.”

“I don’t want you to come yet. If you do, you’re spent, and I’m not ready to give that up yet.” The harshness in her voice was more from having to let him slip out.
“Oh darling,” he cried when she hovered herself just over the tip of his cock. “You don’t know how much I’m prepared to give you.”
Slowly, she lowered herself onto him, inch by painfully agonising inch until she had all of him inside her again. She smoothed her skirt over his thighs, making him squirm with little pinches as she trailed a fingernail over his skin through the cloth. Each time she removed him from her, he jerked his hips upwards to meet her, but she was just barely out of reach each time. Still, she felt the heat between their bodies as it threatened to consume them both.
She saw the frustrated look on Chris’ face and grinned.
“You’re incorrigible,” he said.
“And you’re adorable. Maybe this’ll make you remember to come see me…” She trailed off as the first of many climaxes washed over her. She quivered, squeezed her legs tightly around his waist and came, impaled upon his cock, pausing only long enough to let him calm down for a second round. She fell over his chest, her breasts crushed between their bodies, and looked at him. The evidence of his arousal was still apparent on his face.
“I’m far from finished with you.”
“Good, because I’ve not had my fill.” Chris tried to assert his dominance but had trouble, since he was still bound to the bed.
Angela removed the blindfold and looked at him, his eyes opened wide to adjust to the light. His face looked softer in the warm glow of candlelight. She touched his chin, trailing a fingernail over his jaw and down his neck.
“You’re beautiful.” He licked his lips.
Angela moved off him and took him in her mouth. She tasted her arousal on his cock mixed with his pre-cum. Like hot velvet, her tongue pressed around his tip as she licked and tasted him like a lollipop. “This could be your Christmas present,” she said.
He hissed. She ran her tongue along the underside of his cock, felt the weight of his balls in her hands. She gave him a gentle tug. He squirmed.
“Was that too much?”
“Oh, honey, no. But if you don’t stop soon, I’m gonna—”

“Explode for me,” she whispered and took him all the way in her mouth again, and out, working him with her hand. A few more strokes and he came, shooting warm liquid against the back of her throat. After he’d come, his cock still pulsed in her mouth, and Angela felt a surge of pride.
She moved over to kiss him. “You taste good.”
“You taste even better.”
Angela sealed her lips over his and reached for his wrists. The knot came undone quickly, and Chris wrapped his arms around her waist as he tasted himself on her lips.
“I’d like to see you strip for me.”
She giggled. “Maybe later. I’m not finished with you.”
His eyes widened. “Really, now?”
She took his cock in hand and gave him a reassuring squeeze. “Really.”
Chris’ smile widened, as well. He tangled his fingers in her hair and brushed it aside. Angela caught a glimpse of them in the mirror on her wall. They looked perfect. Her heart felt like it was expanding in her chest as he stroked her back.
They lay together for another awhile in silence, but Angela’s body still ached for more. Chris’ cock nudged against her thigh. She was glad to have someone who could keep up with her demanding sex drive.
She rose and bent over Chris, giving him a view of her luscious breasts as they spilled out of her top. Straightening, she slipped off the skirt and turned around. She bent over again, slowly, catlike and removed her top then stood naked before Chris and let him drink in the sight of her.
Chris got up to meet her, crushed her body to his and kissed her fervently. She broke from their kiss and pushed him back down.
“Sit, lover boy,” she commanded. “This is for both of us.”

Interview yesterday went up at All I Want and More

Over the next few weeks I’m promoting an oldie but goodie, one of my earlier contemporary romances, “Stuck”

The fabulous folks at All I Want and More decided to have some fun.  Questions answered included something about me that can’t be googled, what’s on my nightstand and well…you get the Bad Boy of Romance around a voracious reader and I think we know how this all turns out…

Might have had her naked by the time you read this.

The link for that interview is here.  By the way, she was under me after you read and clicked on that link

Then, while searching for something else, I came across this:  Review of The Playground by Sascha Illyvich from the ladies at The Forbidden Bookshelf

Says the reviewer “A fully enjoyable read and Iʼll be checking out more from the One Night Stand series, as well as from Sascha Illyvich.”

A beta reader got back to me with some badly needed corrections for Stalker, and I’m pretty thrilled about that.  Yeah, there’s a back story on why it’s in my hands again. And I’ll save that for another blog post!

I’m pretty pleased with how things have fallen into place while I’ve been busy on another project.

Writers might be interested in my upcoming Passionate Ink workshop – BDSM In Romance:  Understanding the Lifestyle

New Cover Art – Paranormal Erotica/Romance collection

For some time my primary publisher Sizzler Editions and I have been talking about putting out my paranormal stories in one collection.  This would include Wolf Magic, Dark Traders, The Claiming, and I think a few more smaller pieces.  Finally, it’s up on the schedule to be released hopefully in the next month.

So, you get some cover eye candy, thanks to the lovely and talented Marianne LaCroix

I will share excerpts from the various stories soon, or link back to them if they’re up on this site already!

Putting Erotica Into Practice

Reading erotica can be appealing for a number of reasons, some obvious and some a bit subtler. Of course, for starters, if you’re reading a novel or story that involves a good bit of sexual content, you don’t want to skip out on the sex, and you definitely don’t want it to lack punch! Additionally, for many people, reading erotica can be exciting in and of itself, whether or not it is in the context of a story. But did you know realize that a healthy dose of erotica content can actually help to indirectly spice up your own sex life, and not just your imagination?

One of the main reasons that erotica excites people is that it shows them sexual scenarios and acts that they may never have tried or participated in. Simply put, the sex scenes in erotica stories often represent something new. This means that in addition to being a source of entertainment, erotica can also be a source of ideas for things to put into practice in your own life. For example, let’s say you read a sex scene that involves the use of sex toys that you’ve never tried, or perhaps never even heard of. Sound interesting?

If something like this grabs your attention, you have the option of putting it into practice instead of leaving it on the page. Using the example of becoming excited after reading a scene involving sex toys, you can pay a quick visit to a sex shop online like Adam & Eve and see if they have any of the toys or accessories used in the scene you liked. If you do find the toys that interested you, you are just a few quick clicks away from ordering them for yourself, and then you’ll have all kinds of possibilities.

Of course – particularly if you are in a steady relationship – you will want to discuss these things with your partner before acting on them. Sex toys can be a bit shocking to spring on someone without first discussing it! However, this is just one example of a quick and easy way to put your erotica-based fantasies into real-life practice. When you read something in a book or story, it’s tempting to separate it from reality and enjoy it purely as fiction. However, don’t forget that you can always take your erotica stories as suggestions, in addition to entertainment. Don’t be afraid to try some of the new things you read about – doing is usually even better than reading!
