Okay Folks, I’m going to Pittsburgh for a week for the Romantic Times Convention. I admit it, it’s a big party. *grin*

I get to see some writer friends, some editors and plenty of readers! Oh, and did I forget to mention the cover models?

I’m thinking Pittsburgh is going to be in a very hockey state of mind, what with their team kicking Ottowa’s ass. It should be fun, I love a city full of energy!

I’m not planning on blogging while I’m gone… (but you never know) so here’s a rough itinerary for anyone in the PIttsburgh area who might want to come say hi!

I found this review a while ago and never shared. Thought I’d just remind you all that the book is out there. Y’know, in case you haven’t bought it yet. *grin*

Title: Wicked
Author: Sasha White
Reviewer: Claudia Orpik
Rating: 5 Stars
Heat level: O

Karl Dawson is a very successful attorney by day. At night, he frequents The Dungeon, an underground BDSM establishment, where he lacks for nothing, having subs throw themselves at his feet. One day at work, he spies a lovely piece of humanity working under his desk. Lara comes up for air and challenges his prowess. She tells him she’s “willing to do anything once”. What will her reaction be when Karl tells her he’s a Dom and he’s ready to take her for the ride of her life? Will Karl exchange his playboy ways and establish an exclusive relationship with Lara?

My first thought after reading Wicked was to immediately rush to the nearest bookseller and buy the others in this series. Karl feels that deep down, Lara is a natural-born submissive. He takes her on a journey to discover her inner self. This journey takes them to unsuspected heights, exploring not only sexual but emotional boundaries. Karl is the perfect Dom as he takes over the sexual reins, giving Lara what he feels she needs, often leaving her wanting. Ms. White is the mistress of sexual tension; I often felt like Lara- sexually frustrated! Although Lara gives up sexual control, she definitely stands her ground outside of their lovemaking. Karl has definitely met his match with Lara. She’s such a wickedly, loveable, daring heroine, willing to try anything, even participating in a sex act with another woman. As an added treat, Ms. White brilliantly incorporates another couple’s story into Wicked. Peter and Graham are Lara’s self-appointed protectors. They know all about bad boy Karl, and are determined that Lara will not suffer from a broken heart. I absolutely adored this committed gay couple who suffered from growing pains. I am new to Ms. White’s writing but not for long. Damn you, Ms. White, you have compelled me to read more books by you!

Thank You, Claudia. I hope you enjoy them ALL!*grin*

Congratulations JULIE your name was picked form those that comments on the Mastery post, and you’ve won your choice of either KINK or SEXY DEVIL. Please use the CONTACT form here on my website and email before January 1st with your choice, as well as your snail mail addy to collect your prize.

“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.”

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.

In Keeping with the holiday spirit, I’d like to give away a copy of one of these books! Winners Choice. For your chance to win, just comment here and tell me what you like about the Holiday Season. Is it family time? Time off work? Boxing Day Sales? or all the yummy food? I’ll pick a winner from the comments and announce on Monday!

I’m over at Caffey’s Read today. All weekend in fact. Yep, today is just a post and Q & A, but Cathie is doing a scavenger Hunt this weekend, and I’m providing the prizes…so if you want a chance at winning some free books, and maybe a special treat…be sure to drop over and take part this weekend!!

Have a great day!

The lovely Lauren Dane was on vactaion last week, and she took Trouble with her. (You’re a smart woman, Lauren..I hope it helped inspire some Holiday fun.) And she posted her thoughts on the book on her blog. I’m going to cheat, and show them to you here…

“Sasha White’s Trouble: I’m telling you, Sasha needs to send me an ARC of Karl’s story or I’m gonna have to tackle her at RT and I know what she looks and sounds like so she can’t hide from me.

Trouble is the story of Samair and Valentine - two very unlikely people in a very unlikely romance and yet, White has the hand to make it work and she does most ably.

Her characters are vivid and three dimensional, the sex (as always) is smoking hot and Trouble is just an all around fabulously fun read. White gives us real people with jobs, real people working through personal stuff, real people trying to figure out where someone else can fit in their life when they have goals and dreams that take a lot of time and dedication. I love that. Samair is not some withering heroine who gives up everything for her man but she’s smart enough to recognize the fact that true love isn’t something that rolls up every day.

Nicely done, Sasha! (now, about that ARC…”

Isn’t that great?

You can read about the other books Lauren read on her vaction HERE. I think I might have to pick up the new Michelle Pillow book after reading Lauren’s review.

Whooo Hooo!!!
And Thank You Nicole for this pic!! It’s thrilling to see TROUBLE on a spotlight table. (click on the picture for a larger one if you want)

I’ve noticed at the bookstores here in Alberta, my Berkley Books (Bound, Kink, and Trouble) are usually shelved in Erotica. Even while some other Berkley Heat books are shelved in romance. I think it’s because my covers are a bit edgier than the normal romance cover. However, I also think my covers completely suit my stories and I think they rock. *grin*
But it does make hunting the bookstores for my books fun sometimes.

Then again, when is hunting any books in a bookstore not fun?

I love just wandering around a bookstore, browsing, looking at covers and reading blurbs. Sometimes I go to the bookstore just to inspire myself if I’m struggling with a story. Sometimes I reach for a bottle of tequila -but that’s a different blog post. The other day I went to the gym, it wokred well.

What works for you when you need to inspire/motivate yourself?
