"[Tyler's] straight forward, dead-on writing style invites us to get hot and happy and bowled over by love right along with Carly and Hunt. Which makes being there when they do come undone one of the best things about the novel — next to just how great a romance it is." -Michelle Buonofiglio, Romance: Buy The Book

“On a similar note, while you're free to think whatever you like about my life and death, if you think I wasted my life, I'll tell you you're wrong. We're all going to die of something. I died doing a job I loved. When your time comes, I hope you are as fortunate as I was.”
-Andrew Olmsted, US Solider, killed in Iraq on January 3rd, 2008 – words from his final blog, written to be put up in the event of his death. (www.andrewolmsted.com

“Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it’s cracked up to be. That’s why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don’t risk everything, you risk even more.”
– Erica Jong

Risking It All

My June 2007 Blaze, Risking It All, appears to be available just about everywhere, having been spotted in bookstores and is shipping from online vendors! Here’s an excerpt :


“I think you need to know that I don’t get involved with bad boys like you,” Rina told Cash. Even poked him in his big, broad chest a few times to bring her point home.

His hand closed around hers, held it still and she liked the power in his grip, decided that she might want to feel those hands on other parts of her body too.

“Well, that’s good. Because I don’t get involved with good girls.”

“How do you know I’m a good girl?” she asked. They’d stopped along the stretch of ocean breezeway rooms and she stared between two doors, because everything looked a little fuzzy.

“Trust me. I know.” He grabbed her arm when she pitched forward. “Come on, now. Let’s get you back to your room safe and in one piece.”

“I’m not inviting you inside,” she said, even as she fumbled in her bag for the key. And he was standing so close and suddenly, she didn’t want to be the damned good girl anymore.

“You don’t even seem to know which room is yours,” he said. “I think I should take you back to your friend at the bar.”

“Why? So you can prove to everyone how uptight I am?”

“Now that didn’t even make sense,” he said.

“And neither does this,” she said, right before she put her hands on his shoulders and lifted herself up on tiptoe and pulled him down so she could kiss him. Really kiss him.

He grabbed her around the waist, held her against him and deepened the kiss. She didn’t want him to ever stop. And when the rough rasp of his tongue played with the soft, sensitive underside of hers, she moaned into his mouth and tightened her grip on his hair.

And when he pulled away, she bit her bottom lip and tried to calm her breathing, but that wasn’t going to happen. Not when he still held her tight against him.

“Are you still not inviting me in?” he asked.

She searched her bag and came up empty. “I don’t have a key,” she announced. “All my keys are gone.”

“Does your friend have a copy?”

“We’re not sharing a room,” she murmured. “I guess I’d better go to the front desk and get a new key.”

“Are you sure this is really your room?” he asked.
“Yes, this is it.”

He moved her aside and fiddled with the doorknob for half a second before the door opened.

She stared between it and him. “You are a criminal, aren’t you?” she asked.

“Don’t ask things you don’t really want answers to,” he said, and then he picked her up, crushed his mouth against hers and he took them both inside the room.

    Only if I can have Wraith for a while, Larissa….:razz:


  7. Lynn Matherly Says:

    All right!!! I was ready to read the story of Cash and Rina! Ultimate bad boy and repressed good girl gone… dare I say - happy? :thumbsup:

    I’ll be on the look out.


  8. Steph T. Says:

    *waves to Lynn* I love that ‘good girl turned happy!’ It’s a fun story :) And I just realized that I never answered your questions from Bebo - yes, I’ll be at RWA!!! This year’s going to be a lot of fun:grin:


  9. Lynn Matherly Says:

    I so hope that I get to meet you. It will be my first RWA. I was glad it was in Dallas so I could go. I won’t be at the hotel, but will drive in each day.

    I adore your books, not to mention I think your blogs are a hoot! :bravo:
    Besides, you keep me reading, which is especially helpful when my muse has deserted me! :lol:

    Have a great weekend!


  10. Amie Stuart Says:

    LYNN! Get writing! :razz:


  11. Lynn Matherly Says:

    Amie - I’m trying!!!:razz:

    Stephanie - Don’t let Amie pick on me on your blog :cry:

    Talk to you soon…


  12. Steph T. Says:

    Lynn - I’m afraid it’s either Cece bugging you to write or I’ll have to send Jake, the wandering Navy SEAL to you. And he will steal your muse, if she’s a woman and run off with her…he did that to Linda Winfree’s muse for a while and I’m not sure she’s recovered yet….


  13. Lynn Matherly Says:

    Sounds like a plan. Send him over. I need all the ‘excuses’ I can get. Procrastinating that way could be worth it!:grin:
