BLURB:

Tyler Phillips enjoys his small town life. He’ll never get rich working the family business, but he knows there’s more to a man than the size of his bank account. Easing into mid-life, Tyler’s restless for something he can’t find in the little borough of Easton – male companionship.

Noel Springs got caught up in the economic downturn. His job gone, and retirement a lot of years in the future, Noel decides to take a long drive and see some of the country before dedicating himself to finding new employment. The open road is just what he needs right now.

When his car overheats outside the little town of Easton, Noel discovers the local mechanic is hotter than his radiator, and just as eager to blow off some steam.

REVIEWED by Obsidianbookshelf.com
Here at Obsidianbookshelf.com, I'm impressed by Open Roads, especially by how much it offers while keeping to the challenging novella length. I have no gripes other than a tiny wish that the epilogue hadn't widened its focus, however briefly, to include four extra minor characters. Open Roads achieves its quiet power by focusing on that stunning moment that we all get once or twice in our lives when the path of our entire existence comes into sharp clarity and we regret our choices. What saves Open Roads from slipping into melancholy is the amusing, flirtatious banter between the two main characters, and the hotness of the sex scenes.

Erotic Caress, by Shannon Pearce

Intro:
Jeremy’s new job is going to be a breeze. He is meeting a new customer today who is paying him five hundred dollars a week to maintain his massive lawn and his beautiful pool. Jeremy has no idea that this is the man who frequented the candy store where he had worked last summer. The man does not look like that guy. It does not take Jeremy long to become swept up in this man’s world and by this man’s charm.

Excerpt:
Jeremy was right on time this morning to mow the luscious green lawn of Mr. Yardlow. Mr. Yardlow was a new customer to Jeremy, and Jeremy had never been to one of the houses on the hill, but if the front of Mr. Yardlow’s house was any indication of what the other houses on the hill were like, Jeremy would move in immediately if given half a chance.

“Come in, Jeremy. It’s good to see an enterprising young man such as yourself these days.” Jeremy shook Mr. Yardlow’s hand, and followed him into his house. “As you can see, I don’t have much of a front lawn. The most impressive part of the property is in the back.” Mr. Yardlow led Jeremy to the back of the house. From the family room, Jeremy could see the entire back yard. “It’s very impressive, sir.” “Thank you, Jeremy. A man works hard to get where I am. The yard is tough to mow, though, because of its sharp incline. Hope you don’t mind.” No, Jeremy didn’t mind. The man was paying him five hundred dollars a week to take care of his lawn and his pool. Jeremy had assumed that there was something wrong with Mr. Yardlow because he had offered to pay such an obscene amount of money, but the man seemed normal enough to Jeremy. The guy probably just makes so much money that he is out of touch with the regular people, Jeremy decided. “I’ll be working upstairs, Jeremy. Feel free to come and go as you please. Help yourself to whatever you like in the frig.” Jeremy thanked Mr. Yardlow, and watched as the man left the room. Mr. Yardlow wasn’t bad looking for an older man, and he had a nice body, too, for a man whose maturity was much greater than that of Jeremy.

******

Jeremy’s eyes were at the level of Harley’s nipples, and he lifted his head to look at his attractive suitor. Harley held Jeremy’s head in one hand, tilted it back slightly, and leaned down and gently kissed Jeremy’s lips. Then he pulled back and looked at Jeremy’s face. His young lover was waiting for more. Jeremy’s eyes were closed, his young lips parted from the kiss, and the swim trunks now stretched to their limit spoke for themselves. Harley lowered the hand on Jeremy’s back to hold the cute young butt, and leaned down to kiss his young lips again. Jeremy’s arms went around his unexpected lover, and he felt an ache in his groin. “Jeremy, have you ever made love, really made love? It is much different than just having sex.” Jeremy didn’t think that he had. Harley looked at Jeremy’s face. Jeremy began to open his eyes. “I..I..I don’t know,” he said. “Do you want me to make love to you, Jeremy?” Jeremy’s head went up and down, his lips sliding against Harley’s.

Harley pulled Jeremy’s body to him, leaving Jeremy panting. Harley placed both hands on Jeremy’s butt, and spoke sultrily beside Jeremy’s ear. “Your orgasm will be full, complete, and explosive, if you allow me to take you that far.” Jeremy heard himself moan. The ache inside his swim trunks began to throb. Harley’s hands were inside Jeremy’s swim trunks now, slowly and seductively caressing his young butt. “Would you like me to make love to you out here underneath the sunshine in the water?” Jeremy nodded, even though his head was resting on Harley’s shoulder. Harley could feel the nod even though he couldn’t see it.

Blog Tour Kick-off!

On Septmeber 15^th, my new anthology, Spank! will be released by Logical Lust Publications and today kicks off a twenty-one-day-long blog tour. (A little later in the post, I’ll publish the schedule, with addresses.)

I’ve told people to write about whatever they want, so I’ve no idea what they’ll talk about. It should be interesting to follow along. I’m pretty sure there’ll be a few excerpts posted. Maybe some pictures, too.

What kind of pictures???

I’m sure I don’t know…

But what are you going to get from me? Well, I’m winging it so, here goes nothin’:

Most people know me as a domme or a top. That means I spank—I don’t get spanked—usually. Last month I attended a really cool BDSM convention called Floating World. I went to several workshops and learned some nifty, new things. I spent a few hours enthralled by one of my absolute idols. I chatted with the likes of Cecilia Tan and Laura Antoniou. I bought a new corset—one that is just a little steampunk—for later. I played in the humongous dungeon (man, they had some furniture I’ve been lusting afterfor years…) and then…

And then… I allowed myself to be flogged (because it’s a great form of massage and I really needed a massage) and then—wait for it—caned. It’s not something I usually allow, but sometimes it’s exactly what’s needed.

I’m not into pain; I’m not into being spanked, but I am into sensation. And let me tell you, that light caning felt wond

erful. It was exactly what I needed to relax away allmy tension and stress. It wasn’t the kind of caning that leaves bruises, not like the one I’d given earlier in the night; it was the kind of caning that got me ready for a really good night’s sleep. What can I say?

My story, in Spank!, actually fits in with this post. I swear, I didn’t know where I was going when I sat down to write—seriously—so it’s serendipitious. Here’s a brief excerpt:

Richard’s Reward

Richard made her wet; there was no getting around that. The act of spanking him, first with her handand then with leather, could become a religious experience. The scent

of his arousal, the sight of his marks, and the feel when she ran her fingers lightly over them, could almost cause her to climax, at times.

She brought the strap down again, just above the first stroke, and he bounced against the bed and grunted. Quickly she gave him a third just below the original stroke. This time he cried out.

Suzanne gazed at the three perfect red stripes on his rosy bottom and ran her fingertips over them lightly. She heard him wince.

“Please, please, please,” he moaned.

“Open your legs for me,” she said. She reached between them and fondled and massaged his balls until he groaned and sighed. “Just three more now. Are you ready?”

“Please, please, please,” he whispered.

“Please what, Richard? I’m waiting. You need to tell me to finish your spanking.”

“Please…”

“Yes?”

“Please, Suzanne, please finish my spanking,” he groaned.

“All right then, if that’s what you want… Close your legs for me now; we wouldn’t want any accidents.”

Suzanne quickly finished up with a vertical stroke on each side and a final stroke across his sweet spot. The last stoke wrenched a screamfrom him and he was actively crying when she put the strap down and gathered him into her arms. He came willingly and buried his face against her neck.

Suzanne sat next to him on the side of the bed, gently rocking and holding him close. Although shaking with sobs, she could tell he was much calmer than when he had arrived. A good spanking tended to relax him and relieve his stress. This particular spanking would, hopefully, keep him stress-free for most of the coming week.

She handed him a box of tissues and waited until he regained his composure.

This is just a small excerpt taken from somewhere in the middle of the story. Read it all in Spank! Available in ebook and print on September 15^th. You can find it at most sales venues, including Amazon, or perhaps you’d like to buy it from Logical Lust, an independent publisher.

And see, spanking’s a stress reliever… Relieve some stress today!

Vampire Wanted

My book Vampire wanted is now available.

Nick is surprised when his hookup from the night before not only doesn't want him to leave but plans to keep him forever. For party boy Nick, finding out your lover is a vampire is only a little less scary than a lifetime commitment.

Excerpt:

I met him in a bar. He was every cliché come to life; tall, dark,
handsome and looking at me like I was the one he’d waited for all of his
life. If I hadn’t been so damn lonely and just broken up with my last
boyfriend, caution would’ve kept me away, but I was drunk, maudlin, and
did I mention he was gorgeous?
Our coupling was fast, furious and ended with him biting me on the
neck. That was the last thing I remember before I lost consciousness.
* * *
“Come on, come on. You have to wake up before he returns.” A soft,
desperate whispering broke through my sleep-shrouded mind.
Struggling to awaken, I opened my eyes, blinking rapidly, trying to
make out shapes and forms from the solid darkness.
“That’s it. Open those beautiful eyes. You can do it.” The soft
whispers continued behind me as I felt hands tentatively touching my
body.
Pushing myself up I turned my head towards the voice. A young, slim
blond, who looked to be in his early twenties was leaning over me. As my
eyes adjusted to the dim morning light I could see his troubled
expression.
“Who are you?”
“We don’t have time for introductions. We’ve got to get you out of
here.”
I didn’t stop to ask him why, my mind was too clouded to understand
anything more. I flipped off my covers and swung my feet over the side of
the bed. Modesty wasn’t a trait I had. The skinny guy averted his eyes and
handed over my clothes still not looking.
“Relax, honey. I’m not going to jump you.” I slipped on my pants and
shirt, and was looking around for my socks and shoes when the door
slammed open.
My supposed rescuer flinched as my hook up from the night before
strode into the room carrying a bag that looked suspiciously like pastries.
Yum.
“Hey babe.” I greeted him with a smile. “The blond here seems to
think I should run off without my goodbye kiss.”
I had no trouble tossing the blond to the wolf.
My dark haired love god glared at the kid.
“John. Why are you trying to scare my guest?” Damian’s voice rolled
across my skin like liquid sex. I grew hard at the sound, remembering last
night and the hot words muttered against my skin as he plunged into me.
I held back the moan aching to break free. Snatching the pastry bag
out of his hands, I placed a soft kiss on Damian’s cheek as I passed.
Opening up the sack, I inhaled the scent of flaky, buttery croissants,
and this time I let the moan break free.
“Damn those smell good.”
“You’re just going to let him buy you off with baked goods?” John
asked, not bothering to hide his scorn.
I shrugged, not the least offended. “What can I say? I’m easy.”
Biting into a croissant I made appreciative noises while eating the
crispy, flaky goodness.
Looking up I saw both men were staring at me.
“I think you made those same sounds last night.” Damian said, a
smile curving his handsome mouth.
John shook his sandy head. “I don’t suppose I can convince you to go
away with me?” He asked with a hopeful smile.
I looked from John to Damian.
“No offense honey, I mean you’re cute and all but my mama raised
me with manners. It’s not polite to let a man fuck you and then leave with
his friend.”

Spuds

Intro:
Mike and Trevor have been each other’s lifeline, confidante, and partner in “mischief” for as long as either of them can remember. When Trevor asks his best bud to open a business with him, Mike quickly agrees, bringing his carefree and somewhat reckless attitude with him to work every day. The much more mischievous of the two, Mike secretly advertises that their business includes doing “odd” jobs. Trevor knows that Mike is up to something, but Mike is Trevor’s best friend, so he overlooks his buddy’s wayward ways. Trevor is waiting and watching, however, for Mike’s carefree ways and mischief making to go a little too far and get him into something that even Trevor may not be able to get his good buddy out of.

Excerpt:
Mike really wasn’t much of a businessman, and had never quite grown up, at least according to Trevor. Mike was the one who was usually “found” by mischief, and Trevor was usually the lucky guy who had the privilege of getting his good friend out of his too numerous to mention “sticky” situations. Trevor had often joked that he was not unlike one of the guys at the circus who had the wonderful privilege of walking behind the elephants and cleaning up their messes. Mike was a people person and much preferred being out in the public, meeting the customers. He let Trevor take care of what he considered to be the more mundane aspects of the business.

******

“I’m Mike. You called for some help?” “Yes, Mike. Thanks for coming on such short notice. Come on in.” Mike hadn’t missed the man’s stare. Mike was hot, and Mike was sexy, and Mike was well aware of his sex appeal. Mike noticed the pictures leaning against the side of one wall. “Are these the pictures, sir?” “Yes, and it’s Charles. Let’s have a drink first, shall we?” “Sure. Beer, if you’ve got it,” Mike said. Does the man realize that it’s only ten in the morning? I usually don’t drink this early, Mike thought. Charles tossed a can to Mike and then opened one for himself. “You been in the city very long?” “Just moved in, Mike. I have businesses on the East Coast, but I like the weather here. I will be running my businesses out of my home right here in Idaho from now on.”

Mike tried to look interested, but Mike had never been interested in his own business, and he certainly wasn’t interested in someone else’s entrepreneurial efforts. Mike was sure that this man had asked him to come all the way out here to his grand mansion on the lake for only one thing, and Mike was also sure that that one thing was not hanging pictures. Mike had a solid reputation for being good in the sack, but this guy actually had pictures to hang.

******

Mike turned the key in the ignition, but Spuds just sputtered and then stopped. “Come on, Spuds,” Mike begged. “Mike, did you remember to put gas in Spuds, like I asked you to?” Mike looked at the gauge. “Uh, I guess I forgot, Trev.” “Mike, you have got to be more responsible. I am not running this business all by myself, am I?” “If it weren’t for my charm, Trevor, we wouldn’t have a business, or have you forgotten my charm?” Trevor couldn’t deny that Mike had a way with the customers. “No, I haven’t forgotten your charm, Mike. Come on.”

Mike followed Trevor back into the cabin. “What are we doing back in here? Looking for a phone?” “You’re a smartass, Mike. No, I’m not looking for a phone. Unless you want to walk home, we’ll be staying here for the night. Now come and help me.” Mike followed Trevor down the hallway, more than a little confused. Roughing it was not exactly Trevor’s thing. He was quite fond of his creature comforts. Trevor started tugging and pulling at one of the old mattresses. “What are you doing?” Mike asked. “I’m putting the mattress on the floor. The bed is too small.” “Oooh, are we sleeping together tonight, honey?” “Funny, Mike. No, but from the floor there is a little sliver of light coming from a streetlamp way out there.” Trevor pointed out the window at the light in the distance. “Are you for real? You still can’t sleep in the dark, can you?” “Yes, I can sleep in the dark. I prefer, however, not to.”

Mike shook his head and went to the other bedroom. He was beat. He was almost asleep on the little bed when he heard Trevor rummaging around. “Trevor, what are you doing?” “Nothing,” Trevor lied. Mike heard the footsteps of his friend as Trevor padded down the hallway. Mike got up and followed Trevor to the kitchen. “What are in the world are you looking for, Trevor? I’m tired.” “I just thought that maybe there was a flashlight in this old cabin somewhere.” Then he noticed the light on Mike’s wristwatch. “Let me wear your watch, Mike. I can set the alarm that way. I certainly can’t count on you getting us up on time.” Mike started to take his watch off, and then he stopped. “I know why you wanted the flashlight and now my watch, and it isn’t for the alarm. A flashlight wouldn’t have had an alarm. It’s still too dark for you, isn’t it?” he teased. “So what if it is? At least I don’t have to get laid every five minutes.” “Shit, Trevor, you are unbelievable. Come on.”

If You Just Smile

Intro:
Matt has everything that he has ever wanted, or at least he thinks he does. His career is blossoming, and he has recently been promoted to vice president of the bank in the small town where he has worked since graduating from college. Matt’s boss is the best, and Matt has lived with his partner and lover, Kent, for the past few years. If there is one thing that Matt would love to change in his life, it is the anger which he seems to cause in his lover, yet he has no idea what he is doing to anger him. Matt does his best to be a good partner to Kent, but is embarrassed about the black eyes and bruises which he finds very difficult to hide or find excuses for. Matt feels certain that his and Kent’s relationship is no different from any other couple’s, but when Matt’s boss asks Matt to take his place at a yearly conference, Matt meets a man who shows him a completely different life from the one that has now become perhaps a little too familiar to him.

Excerpt:
Matt left the house very quietly this morning, and didn’t look at the bruise on his face again until he was halfway to work. Matt felt bad for Kent. Kent had watched as Matt had earned promotion after promotion, and was now very well respected in his chosen career and was also earning a six figure salary, while Kent was still bartending at the same bar and grill where he had worked for six years now. Matt looked at his face in the rearview mirror.

******

“These are for you, Matt.” Matt made a half turn in his chair. “Thanks, Linda.” The sweet woman left Matt’s office, and once he was sure that she had gone, he turned and looked at the beautiful flowers that had been delivered to him. He opened the card, though he knew who they were from. “I love you. You are my life.” They were signed, “Love, Kent.” Matt knew that the words on the card were true. Kent just feels bad about himself and about his work situation, Matt had told himself often. He knew that Kent felt trapped in a dead-end job, and that Kent’s father had been an abusive alcoholic. Kent had told Matt that he had gotten his bad temper from his father. “I can’t help it, Matt. That’s just the way that I am. It’s in my genes.” “He just needs to know that I love him,” Matt said, trying to convince himself.

******

Kent opened the door of the shower and pulled Matt inside. “I love you, Matt,” he said, and kissed his neck. He kissed Matt’s chest and caught the droplets of water that landed on Matt’s nipples. Kent was a damned good lover, and Matt was aroused by his slightest touch. Kent kissed his way down Matt’s flat stomach until he reached Matt’s cock. Matt’s entire body responded to Kent’s touch and to Kent’s lips, and Matt moaned. Kent held the top of Matt’s cock between his lips and held Matt’s balls in his hand. He seductively slid Matt’s shower wetted cock into his mouth, and looked up at Matt. Matt looked at Kent, and then closed his eyes. His body shuddered. Kent wrapped his arms around Matt and looked up at him.

******

Matt dialed his home number the minute he walked into the suite. “Speak,” Kent’s voice answered. “Kent, I’m glad you’re home,” Matt said, in as upbeat a tone as he possibly could. “Why haven’t you called, Matt? Too busy with your ‘colleagues’? You couldn’t even find the time to say goodbye on Sunday?” “I’m sorry, Kent. I left you a note. I didn’t want to wake you.” Kent said nothing. “So, how are things going back home?” “Nothing exciting. I painted some on Sunday.” “That’s nice. I’m sure it looks great. I can’t wait to see it.” “Yeah, well, don’t expect it to be finished by the time you get back. I do have a job, you know. I don’t have the time for jet setting across the country like you do.” Matt didn’t know what to say to Kent. He never did know what to say when Kent began to belittle himself like he was doing now. “Well, I have to get back to the conference now, Kent. I love you.” “You’ll be home on Friday?” “That’s right, Kent. I can’t wait to see you.” “Yeah, me too,” Kent said, his tone softening a little.

******

“You can see that not much has changed since yesterday,” Dustin informed, as they walked into his house. “I doubt if your house ever looks messy, Dustin. It’s beautiful.” Dustin smiled. “At the risk of sounding like an alcoholic, would you care for a glass of wine?” “Love one,” Matt said, with a laugh. “And I don’t think of you as an alcoholic,” he added. “One drink a day is about all I can handle, if that much,” Dustin assured him. “What do you think of Denver, Matt?” “It’s beautiful, Dustin. I love the view of the mountains, but what I have noticed more than anything is how much better I sleep out here than I do at home. It must be the thinner air.” Dustin knew that this was his chance to say what he thought, and that if he didn’t do it now, he never would. “Perhaps there is less stress here,” Dustin said, looking right at Matt. Matt carelessly touched his eye. Had Dustin noticed the bruise? Did Dustin suspect? “It seems to be going away the longer you are here.” “Oh,” Matt said, not offering anything further.

Dustin could no longer ignore his own desires. He set Matt’s wine glass down with his own. He gently ran a finger along Matt’s lips, collecting the wine that lingered there. He kissed the wine from his finger, and then pressed his finger to Matt’s lips. Matt closed his eyes. His lips parted automatically. He wanted Dustin to kiss him. He wanted Dustin to take him to places that he had never been before. He felt the heat of Dustin’s breath as it neared his lips. Dustin’s arm around him caused Matt to gasp. Then he felt the gentle touch of Dustin’s lips on his own, and he could not resist. He did not want to resist Dustin. Matt’s arms went around Dustin, holding him, welcoming his body to his own.
