More reviews

While I was procrastinating on my current WIP, I googled reviews for WICKED. I hadn’t done this since the book was released, and I was thrilled to find this review at My Thoughts About Nothing At All:

“Lara does indeed prove that she has submissive tendencies - that she enjoys and wants to submit to Karl. It isn’t an easy journey for Lara, and Ms. White gives us quite a glimpse of Lara’s thoughts and emotions about her new relationship. One of my favorite parts of the book is where Lara researches dominance and submission online. I think we get a great glimpse into Lara’s mind and how she deals with the journey she is embarking upon with Karl. Plus, I loved Karl. While he is a dominant, he is caring and loving. Yummy!!!”

She also has a review for BOUND and for TROUBLE

I also found that Dear Author did a review for WICKED recently. Although, this review proves that, like most books, not everyone is going to love it.

For more opinions on WICKED, check out the three Reader Reviews on Amazon.com

I’ll be in the writing cave and probably not posting this weekend, but I wanted to remind all readers out there of my NEW YEAR GIVEWAY. If you’ve read either WICKED (or SEXY DEVIL) be sure to post an online bookstore reader review, and send me the link. You’ll be entered to win a $50 GC.

WICKED excerpt

I thought I’d start your week off right with a steamy scene from my latest release, WICKED.

The band was playing and the heavy beat matched the low level throb in Lara’s blood as she moved. The heat of admiring eyes drifted over her skin. There were so many, male and female, all hot with passion that fired her blood.

She’d take one of them home that night. A man. A man with a big cock, plenty of passion and lots of stamina to help chase away the hot dreams of that arrogant egotistical … lawyer.

Large hands rested on her hips and a body brushed against her back. She glanced over her shoulder and winked at the bald college boy who’d moved in to dance with her.

She shouldn’t call him a boy, he was probably only younger than her by a year or two, but he wasn’t man enough to inspire a stronger title. His excitement and eagerness fairly bled from him as he rubbed his groin against her ass in an effort to be sexy. It might be a little mean of her to tease him, but she couldn’t stop herself.

She bent forward at the waist, pressing her hips back against him, and did a bump and grind that had her own body softening, readying itself for action. With a flip of her head, she straightened up, back arched as she rested her head against his shoulder and undulated against him in time with the music.

“You are so fucking hot,” he panted in her ear, his hands slipping over the smooth flesh of her belly that was bared by her crop top.

She spun in his arms just as the last notes of the song were struck, and the music faded into the crowd’s applause.

The band said they were going to take a short break, and everyone started to drift off the dance floor. It was time to rehydrate.

“Thanks for the dance,” she said to the boy, and spun on her heel to leave.

He grabbed her arm, halting her steps. “That’s it? Come on, baby. Let’s find a dark corner and get to know each other better.”

She looked at his hand on her arm before raising her gaze to his. She gave him a look that any smart man would recognize as a warning. College boy wasn’t stupid, and he released his grip.
“Yeah,” he said with a sneer. “Whatever.”

Lara headed for the bar without another word, and immediately spotted the lean blond parked there in leather pants and a snug black t-shirt.

Oh, shit.

Her heart kicked in her chest and every hair on her body stood on end. Karl looked so fucking good her mouth actually started to water. Saliva pooled on her tongue and her pussy clenched in recognition of what it hungered for. She’d been able to resist the lure of his challenge when she only had images of him in a suit and tie in her mind, but this … she had no resistance to the living fantasy in front of her.

Even worse, she wasn’t sure she wanted to.

Altering her course slightly she headed straight for him. “Well hello there, sexy. How are you tonight?”

“Feeling pretty good after watching your little show there,” he replied. “You move very well, sweetie.”

Pleasure swept over her at his compliment and she gave herself a mental kick in the ass. She knew she moved well, she didn’t need him to tell her that. Plus, he’d called her sweetie.

Lara eyed him. She realized he was being sincere and that sent a wave of pure desire rushing through her veins. Normally she hated it when men called her sweetie or baby or darlin’, or any number of chauvinistic endearments. But Karl’s lazily spoken words were different somehow.
“Thanks,” she said before smiling at the bartender and asking for a bottle of water.

When he set the water on the bar Karl handed him a bill before she could, and the bartender walked away.

“Thank you, again.” She turned to face Karl, stepping closer so that her hip brushed against his leather-clad knee.

She let her eyes roam over him, not bothering to hide the need simmering in her blood. Why should she? She’d made it pretty clear the other night that she wanted him. He’d been the one to walk away.

Remembering that, she shifted, a little unsure exactly how to handle him now. Unsure of how she wanted to handle him now.

As if he could read her thoughts, Karl’s lips tilted slightly and the lines around his eyes crinkled, making the small scar that ran through his left eyebrow shift. “You didn’t call,” he said.
Not wanting to shout in the loud bar, or let him sense her momentary doubts, she shifted closer. When she moved, he spread his knees wider and she automatically filled the spot.

“Why didn’t you call?” he repeated.

She arched a brow at him. “Why didn’t you call?”

He chuckled. “Because you’re the one who needs to decide if you’re really willing to do anything at least once.”

Would she? Wicked heat zinged from her brain to her sex in answer and she grinned. Payback could be so much fun, sometimes.

“Follow me?” she challenged.

His chocolate eyes darkened and his lips twitched as he stood so they were chest to chest. “Lead the way.”

With a little extra swing in her hip, she headed for the back of the pub.

The band was starting up again and they were going against the stream of people heading back to the dance floor. Karl’s hand rested on the curve of her hip, the heat of his body close behind her as they passed the mens room, then the ladies room and went straight out the back door.

She’d been antsy and horny before she saw him, but in the past three minutes her body had started to burn from the inside out. Everything in her was centered on having him - he was not going to walk away from her again. She was in control this time.

Karl was all man - all very sexy, very primal man. She might not know exactly what was going on between them, but she did know one thing for sure - she was woman enough to take him on, and revel in it.

The cool night air hit her skin and a shiver ripped through her. She glanced around the empty parking lot, no real plan in her mind, just animalistic need driving her to do what came naturally. She started to head for her car, but then spotted the narrow walkway between the pub and the darkened building next to it. A big leafy tree almost hid the small space.

It was perfect.

Without a word she entered the small passage and went about ten steps before stopping. She turned and faced Karl, who was looking at her with a mix of curiosity and approval.

“You,” she said, putting her hands on his chest and gently shoving him against the cement wall of the pub. “Are not walking away from me this time.”

She leaned in, pressing her body against his fully, and ran her tongue over the tattoo on his neck. His pulse jumped as she nibbled her way toward his ear only to have her head pulled back sharply. The hand that was suddenly wrapped in her hair tightened, and her pussy throbbed in answer.

“Oooh,” she cooed in appreciation, but the sound was cut off when his head came down and his mouth covered hers.

Lara struggled to remember her plan as Karl’s flavor washed over her. He tasted so damn good - hot, potent and male. His muscles flexed and danced under her hand as she swept them down over his chest and flat abs to his belt. Her fingers shook with her eagerness as she unsnapped and unzipped his pants.

Pushing aside the supple leather, she groaned into Karl’s mouth when his cock leapt into the palm of her hand.

Oh yeah! He was well built all over.

The grip on her hair tightened and her head was tugged back. Karl’s mouth slid over her cheek to her ear, where he nipped at the sensitive lobe, sending bolts of pleasure straight to her pussy. “What are you gonna do with that, naughty girl?”

She pulled back slightly, shaking her head and dislodging his grip. “I’m going to make it mine,” she said as she bent her knees.

Karl watched as Lara knelt in front of him, the moonlight streaming through the trees leaves and gleaming on the top of her head as her hot breath drifted over his naked cock. She’d surprised him again, in a very good way.

A long lick up the underside of his cock had him sucking in a sharp breath and reaching deep for his self-control as she swirled her tongue over the sensitive head. His balls tightened and he closed his eyes, letting his head fall back against the wall.

His fingers tangled in her soft hair, but he just enjoyed the feel of the silky strands. This was her thing and he was going to let her do it the way she wanted.

For now.

It felt good, better than good, as she expertly circled the base of his shaft with her fingers and stroked. She caressedthe full length of his shaft while her lips were wrapped around the top, gently sucking on the head. She popped him out of her mouth, licking him like a lollipop for a brief moment before taking him deep.

A groan of pleasure rumbled through him, and he let it escape. “Deeper, sugar. Take me as deep as you can,” he coached.

He didn’t press into her though, he wanted to let her play, let her taste him, and get used to the size and feel of him.

He also wanted to see how well she listened.

Another groan eased from his throat when she did as he asked, her hands gripping his thighs as she stretched her jaw and sank down on his cock.

She couldn’t take him all, he hadn’t expected her too, but she took him deep enough that he was touching the back of her throat. He looked down at her, one hand going to gently cup under her jaw. Karl could feel himself there as she pulled back, then took him deep again.

“Good girl,” he murmured when her throat spasmed around him and she pulled back sharply, leaving his cock bobbing in the cool air. “Do it again. I like it when I feel the back of your throat.”

She looked up at him, her eyes gleaming in the darkness as she licked her shiny lips. His heart pounded as he waited for her to speak, but she didn’t. Instead, one hand wrapped around his shaft again and she closed her eyes, taking him into her mouth once more. This time, there was no struggle to take him deep.

Her hand stroked in time with her mouth as she sucked, her head going up and down, her speed increasing. Her other hand reached between his legs, wiggling in under the leather low on his hips and cupping his balls. He watched her, just as much pleasure coming from the sight of her at his feet as from the actual sensation of her mouth on him.

He kept his hand beneath her chin where he could feel her pulse pounding, and his cock sliding along her tongue. The sound of her panting breath was music to his ears and his cock swelled. She was working so hard, such a good girl. Such a sassy, sexy, horny, adventurous girl.
Karl’s breath caught as his hips thrust forward, everything inside him centering on his cock as pleasure exploded and he gave her all he had.

“Yes, my girl,” he cried as she swallowed. “Take it all.”

Tremors rippled through him as she continued to suckle him, gently cleaning him before she stood slowly. When she was at her full height she reached up, cupped the back of his head and pulled him down for a kiss. He tasted himself on her tongue as it swept between his lips and into his mouth in one fierce move. Then she was done.

She stepped back, a fingertip wiping the corner of her smiling lips. “I will do anything once,” she purred before spinning on her heel and walking away.

“Call me,” she shouted over her shoulder before she disappeared around the corner of the building.

A laugh bubbled up inside of him and he let it roll out. She was certainly a handful. A very pleasurable, and deliciously wicked, handful.

“WICKED by Sasha White is the best erotic story I’ve ever read.” ~ Romance Junkies. com

“Sasha White’s WICKED definitely lives up to its name; the sizzling hot and sexy storyline has characters you’ll fall in love with.”-Fresh Fiction.com

“White turns up the heat with electrifying erotic scenes and a delicious alpha hero. It’s a realistic portrayal of two commitment-phobic people who turn sex games into romance. Fans will recognize some secondary characters from previous books, and new characters add just enough conflict to make things interesting. The plot moves at a good pace, and the sex is edgy, including threesomes and a M/M couple.”- Romantic Times Magazine

Countdown

6 Days until WICKED hits stores!!!

At this time last year I was in the middle of writing WICKED and now it’s about to hit bookstore shelves! I’m so very excited about this. I never set out to write connected stories, yet BOUND, Trouble and now WICKED all have one thing in common. Karl Dawson.

As a character in BOUND, he was what I call a “throwaway character”. When he came into the book, he was created to be a sexy stranger. Then he worked his way into the end of the story. Then when I was writing TROUBLE, I needed my hero to have a best friend, and Karl Dawson popped into my head. It worked perfectly and half way through writing TROUBLE I emailed my editor and asked if instead of writing the story I’d already sold her for my next book, I could write a new one - Karl’s story.

She agreed and WICKED was born.

And it’s almost in stores. When I was writing Karl’s story, I found it very engrossing. When I was done, I figured WICKED was my best work yet. I hope readers agree.

5 Angels from Fallen Angels.com
This fast moving story is sure to keep you wanting more with its erotic action, delightful characters and intriguing plot. It was also nice to hear Karl’s story after getting to know him a bit in Bound and Trouble, though reading the previous stories isn’t imperative to keep up in Wicked. 5 Angles!”

Mastery *grin*

“SEXY DEVIL is comprised of two wonderfully written stories that will entertain as well as sizzle the pages. Author Sasha White shows her mastery at creating two true erotic romances rather than sex-filled, unplotted tales. In addition, readers get treated to a little bonus that caps it off beautifully.”
~Romance Reviews Today Erotic

I like that.

It’s not often I can claim to have Mastery. Not that I’m claiming it, but it is so nice that someone thinks I have it.

Also..Saskia and I made Violet blue’s “erotic books that don’t suck in 2007″ with Kink.

MYSTERY / SCARLET NEWS:

Mystery and Scarlet met for the first time tonight.

After my hour spent in Scarlet’s room, Mystery was pissed at me.

She wouldn’t sit on my lap or let me pet her, so when she went back to guard duty, I opened the door and out came Scarlet.

Honestly, Scarlet just went right past her. She made a round of the condo, with Mystery following (stalking really). There were a time or two when they both stuck heads around a corner, or over a box, and they smelled each other, noses touching, then Mystery would hiss. (not sure if Scarlet did, she was pretty quiet.) then they’d seperate on their own. Scarlet kept going around, Mystery followed.

After a full round of the house, I picked Scarlet up and put her back in her room and closed the door. Then I gave Mystery some cat treats and petted her. :)

Mystery still won’t jump on my lap cuz I must smell of Scarlet from earlier…but I’m super happy with how well it went.

LUSTFUL excerpt

You’ve got AN EXCERPT from Me and AN EXCERPT from Beth. Now here’s one from Laura Bacchi.

DOUBLE TROUBLE

I spotted them immediately. Well, almost immediately. In this smoky dump of a bar, I first thought it was just one guy, one good-looking guy sitting next to a mirror on the wall. After I got my beer from the bartender, I headed their way not quite believing my luck. Me horny. Them twins. I didn’t get horny much these days—the traveling takes a lot out of me and ever since I turned thirty-seven the libido’s been down the toilet, flushed away like the marriage license I tore up into tiny pieces the year before. Since Brad left, with all our money and then some, I’ve made it my mission to avoid men all together. Hell, I’d even tossed my vibrator in the trash and kept my fantasies confined to things like million-dollar shopping sprees, slender thighs without having to work out, a home of my own again, that kind of stuff.

Except for twins. And, trust me, hot male identical twins were hard to find. Last month when I buzzed through Phoenix, the hotel next to mine was hosting a national twin convention. Lots of kids and families, twins marrying twins, that type of thing. A bunch of fraternals, too. No thrill there—in my mind, screwing fraternals was just like doing it with any ordinary guy and his brother. I wanted the real thing: Two gorgeous men with the same eyes and hands, matching haircuts, mirror-image cocks…

I’m not sure how this particular obsession got started. Maybe I got off on the idea of twins because I was a Gemini, or perhaps it was the salt and pepper shakers my mom collected when I was a kid. Rows and rows of matching faces, the only difference being the number of holes on top and whether they were marked with an s or a p. “Look but don’t touch,” she’d say.

Tonight I planned to do both.

I set my tallneck on their table. “Hi, guys.”

They were already staring. In a good way. Two sets of deep brown eyes trailed over the low neckline of my sweater then down to my black leather miniskirt—and I do mean mini. Stilettos, no stockings. And, as they’d find out soon enough, no panties to get in their way. My intuition had been dead-on back at the hotel; I knew I’d get fucked and hopefully sucked while returning the favor in some kind of ménage à Mindy. I just didn’t know my dreams were set to come true for the whole enchilada—no closing my eyes while imagining the two men doing me were a perfectly matched pair, no keeping my hands to myself for fear of feeling out the differences.

They didn’t say a word as they stood. I started to lose my nerve. Would I be disappointed once I got my wish? My feet shifted on the beat-up hardwood floor as my teeth found my lip. I nibbled. They smiled.

I held out my hand and yelled my name over the twang of crappy music playing on the speakers overhead. “Mindy,” I told them. “Care to show an out-of-towner a good time?”

The one on the left smiled. He nudged his brother. “See if Jim’ll let us use the private room.”

I liked the sound of that. While he went for an answer, I took a good look at the one left behind. He was big but not too bulky–muscles in all the right places, a waist I could wrap my
legs around as we fucked… I’d hook ‘em there tight and hold on for the ride. And he had
shoulders made for squeezing while he pumped into me hard. My cunt tensed in anticipation.

“You play pool?” he asked.

“I do tonight.”

His smile, now wide and wicked, told me he knew I was game. And not just for pool.

The other brother—Zack, I soon learned—passed us and unlocked a door by the juke box. We followed him in, Zeke and I, and I had to stifle a giggle at the names. Zack locked the door and grabbed a pool stick. Zeke did the same.

“Why don’t you rack up the balls, babe?”

Zack—or was it Zeke?—handed me the rack and I bent down to retrieve the balls. A long, low whistle left both their lips when I did. Then I felt the sticks, feather-light and climbing, go up my thighs higher and higher until the part of my ass covered by the skirt became visible to their eyes. I leaned onto the soft green felt and spread my legs.

**** Author Laura says “Yeah, they don’t actually play much pool after that ;) If you like erotica (this antho includes “…explicit sex, graphic language, sex in public places, ménage a troi, hot nekkid man love, and BDSM”), then you may want to check out Lustful Thoughts.

Recommendations

Beth Williamson’s Devils on Horseback: Nate, is now available in Print. This is the first book in her new series, and Beth just keeps getting better and better. If hot cowboys coming to the rescue are what gets your heart pumping and panties wet, this is an author you should be reading.

Check out the Spotlight on Lori Armstrong here. If you like mysteries and absolutely fantastic characters you Have to check out Lori’s Julie Collins series. If you doubt me, read what I had to say about Blood Ties when I first discovered this author and then read Lori’s interview. An author who stays true to her flawed and very human character. I’m telling you, Lori Armstrong is top notch.

Julia Templeton’s new erotic historical is out too! I haven;t had a chance to read Return To Me yet. BUt I loved The Bargain, so I’m looking forward to finally picking Return To me off my TBR pile.

OH! And Secret Thoughts: LUSTFUL, which was released on Friday, has breached the Top Ten sales at My bookstore and More!!
