Bout of Books 29 - Wrap Up




Wasn't quite the Bout of Books quota I hoped for. I finished 7, but one was a cheat one, since I started it prior to BoB and just finished up the last of it. For the final day, I read a little of that, and a little of another one. I started 4 other books but couldn't get into 3 of them. They will be DNF while I'll finish the 4th, The Midnight Library.

It was a good BoB, just wish I had had time to finish more.


On another note, the 2nd book in my Bijou Basin series releases tomorrow!! As always, if you're a reviewer who reads erotic romance and would like to receive mine, please click one of the buttons above and contact me. I don't get much exposure (ha - since my books are "Natural Exposure" & "Negative Exposure") since I write erotic romance - it's harder to advertise. I don't pay for reviews/betas, but I'm glad to give my books out in exchange for honest reviews - just give me a shout! My first, Natural Exposure, is on SALE at Smashwords for Half Off! Click the link or the cover on the side bar --->.

See below for links to all 3 of my books (2 novels, 1 novelette) for blurbs at Goodreads.

Bout of Books 29 - Day 6



With Landlords expected, my day was all off-kilter. Unfortunately, it's always that way when we need them for something. Sigh. But it's finally fixed. I didn't get much time for reading, though I did finish up my book and it was SOOOOOOO good, it's alright I didn't get to finish it earlier or get to read much after, cuz DAYUM!! Sunday's likely a wash - Hubby's day off.

Bout of Books 29 - Day 5



As expected, no reading today (well, other than reading parts of my own over and over) until I went to bed, so a slow day and didn't get any done but made headway on a longer book that I'll finish Saturday. It's enjoyable and holy crap! So that's great. How's everyone else doing?

Bout of Books 29 - Day 4




My most productive day of reading. Finished up two book and made headway into a 3rd. It's a good thing since I likely won't read Friday. Today I put up the final manuscript of my new book, Negative Exposure (erotic romance, so not for everyone). Now that I'm used to the easiest way of going about it, it won't take long but I'm sure I'll tinker half the day anyways.

I'm reading some longer books than I usually do for the read-a-thons, but they're what I want to read, so even though they are taking longer, I'm enjoying them.

Bout of Books 29 - Day 3




Yet another day of not reading as much as I planned. Got through some chunks, but not big ones. Started a longer book than I usually read for the read-a-thons, but it's what I wanted to read most. Hopefully I'll finish two on Thurs, because there will likely be no reading on Friday as I finalize my own book (ack!) for publication.

Bout of Books 29 - Day 2




Tuesday was another quiet day, getting only through 1 audiobook during the day and starting and audiobook and ebook at night. Not off to the start I wanted, but it is what it is. Since I have my own deadline of getting my book posted on Friday, I don't know how the rest of the week will be. At least I can read a lot on Saturday when it's in review at Amazon.

Bout of Books 29 - Day 1




Since it's a tradition, even if they aren't doing the challenges, me in 6 words:
Naughty little reader, author, and gamer.


Monday was quiet since my Hubby was home and we spent some of the day together. I didn't keep track of my time but I didn't read long, finishing just two books and reading parts of two others.

Once in a while, when a story comes to a close, it’s not The End, but instead, a new beginning.

Kenzie and Jarrett Holliday are happy with their life. They have great friends, successful businesses, and reside in a town they adore. As decades long best friends, their love can’t be measured by words; its pure, deep, and unwavering, weathering any storm that crosses their path. What more could they ask for?

They didn’t know anything was missing from their lives until she breezed through the door like a breath of fresh air.

Ripley Owens wasn't looking for anything more than a fresh start when she moved to the quaint, progressive town of Bijou Basin. She never dreamed that she would start a new relationship and certainly not that she'd be dating a married couple!

This wasn’t what the trio expected, but it was what they all needed. Sometimes there is no such thing as a third wheel, instead it's the triangle that provides a greater balance.


Authors Note: This erotic romance features adult themes and language. Themes include: graphic sex, BDSM, Polyamory & LGBTQ+ Characters. It is set directly after the events of Natural Exposure. While it could be read on it's own, it's not meant to be, the events of book 1 directly affect this one.
