Firstly, today is the first stop in my Naughty Rendezvous Blog tour over at R.Renee Vicker’s place, comment on her blog to win one of 3 brilliant Blisse prizes including a signed copy of Tempting Rendezvous! Check out the post for more info. :)
Right, now onto the weekend. I could have picked several titles for this blog post ‘Boobies are okay on facebook’ or ‘Getting Saucy’ or ‘What do a man in a romper suit, high heels and smutty books have in common?” did jump to mind but I went with ‘No Pun Intended’ because I must have said that phrase a hundred times over the weekend.
So, it all started with a long coach journey to London with my lovely hubby, Kevin Mitnik of eroticwhispers.co.uk fame. We then found our hotel via tube and managed to get back across london to Hoxton in plenty of time to have a drink in the Blu bar with my mate Jan (who I met on Literotica), Lucy and her lovely fella (I need to keep him sweet, he bakes yummy things!) and then KD Grace who’d raced over from Olympia where she’d been helping Hazel selling lots of books on the Xcite stand.
So when we got into SH! we set up and got ready for the reading. As always the Sh!girlz were absolutely fabulous and kept everyone plied with bubbly, cakes and sweet treats including cakes made by yours truly and fudge and sweets made by Lucy’s lovely fella. You get treated like a member of royalty when you visit Sh! It’s brilliant.
So I started off the event with a reading from Tempting Rendezvous, then the lovely Lucy Felthouse read her sexy and spooky mermaid tale from Seducing the Myth. I followed with a festive excerpt from Tempting Rendezvous where Leanna dresses up as a very naughty elf and I do believe all these went down very well…NO PUN INTENDED! :)
So then we had a break for more bubbles and food and drew the two winners of the SH!prize and the Northern Bird’s basket of goodies.
Lucy started off the second half with a very hot taster from her story in The Look of Lust. I followed with an equally hot bit from my story in the same anthology. We finished off with a Question and Answer session which had me and Lucy answering all sorts of questions about genre, Twilight (as we both write vampires sometimes) and where we got our writing names from. After book signings (such good fun!) and more chat with the lovely Sh! Girlz it was time to find food!
At this point I offer my heartfelt thanks to the folks at Sh!Hoxton and encourage people to go visit and pick up a SIGNED copy of Tempting Rendezvous!
Also I thank my lovely special guest, Lucy Felthouse, for being all round awesome. :)
Lucy, KD and Me and our respective blokes hit The Breakfast club for yummy food after the reading. Our conversation flowed but I do believe it may have shocked a server or two and I swear the next table over were straining to hear what we’d say next! Oh and I got to experience the He-Man toilet. It was an experience, I can tell you!
We then went home to bed…no, not all together, they were different beds in different places!
So Saturday started with another tube journey, we met up with Lucy and her side-kick and headed into Olympia, on the way we saw the lovely Lexie Bay with her man and then we met the New Man at Xcite, Sam, who gave us our shiny and lovely Erotica passes.
I can’t tell you what I expected from Erotica. I think I expected to be a bit shocked, a little amazed and maybe I thought I’d feel a little awkward and like a fish out of water. The first two expectations were met but not the last. Every person, no matter what they wore or what they were into were universally accepted. Men walked round in high heels, Ladies wore tight corsets, revealing lingerie and led around their slaves and there was even a guy happy to wear his romper suit and nappy, several folks in latex and many men in very tight, tight pants! It was brilliant. Such a relaxed and laid back atmosphere. I was truly struck by that the most as an Erotica newbie!
So we started by chatting to Hazel at the Xcite stand and looking at all the lovely books on the shelves including my very own Tempting Rendezvous. We then went on a bit of a wander around the stalls, checked out things from above and popped in to see a special some who made my husband’s erm, heart, go all a flutter. (Katie K on the Television Erotica stand)
It was soon time to get together and do some sexy readings in the London room which was kind of loud and echoier but we made the most of it. I started with another excerpt from Tempting Rendezvous, a very sexy one it was too!
I was followed by more Lucy Felthouse who read from Look of Lust, KD Grace who read from The Pet Shop, Kay JayBee who read from The Perfect Submissive
Georgie McCray followed, she was an entertaining newbie to the genre and Lexie bay finished by reading for the first time ever and did a lovely job of reading from her story in Immoral Views.
My thanks go out to Liz Coldwell for organising us all and introducing each reading.
We then jumped on a few soldiers who were collecting for Soldiers off the Streets and had them pose with us Uniform Behaviour authors because, well, because Lucy likes soldiers, that’s why. ;)
And posed in front of the ‘Erotica Wall’
I enjoyed a brief food break and then REALLY enjoyed watching the Dance Seduction show on the main stage. Check out this little clip but I doubt it’s terribly safe for work, it is damn sexy though!
We were then whisked away for secret talks with the lovely Jane Wynham Jones as we arranged our plots and plans for the erotica writers panel. Kitti Bernetti joined us and we set up the London room differently to help everyone hear for this panel and I think it worked well.
Lucy and I (I swear we weren’t joined at the hip!) Kay Jaybee and Kitti Bernetti all had fun asking and answering questions from Jane and the crowd who’d come to listen. We covered all kinds of topics from how to approach a publisher, why we write and how we get our inspiration to how do we keep our sex scenes fresh and wether we specialised or not.
We filed out and off to the Xcite stand to do some mingling and book signing. It was so lovely to meet some readers and to sign their copies of Tempting, they seemed to be selling like hot cakes! It had been a long day and at 7.30pm after KD’s book launch we all disappeared off to go home or get food.
Kev and I ended up with Lucy and the lad at Beluschi’s for a steak dinner that had all of us silent it was that good.
Hubs and I finally got back to the hotel at midnight after saying our goodbyes. So Sunday held an early morning and a 5 hour journey home by coach back home to Manchester. We both had a fantastic time and I can’t wait to do it all again!

It’s Sunday and it’s time for a snog, yummy, yummy. I love Sundays. Today I’m travellnig back from London and I’m really looking forward to reading everyone’s snogs when I get home!
My snog for today is from Till the End which is available from Amazon UK, US, Xcite and All Romance Ebooks and any other good ebook vendor!
Susan falls instantly in lust with a young student she employs to be one of the till staff at the supermarket where she is head of personnel. She is obsessed by him, but twice his age and convinced he could never be interested in her – that is, until the Works Christmas party proves differently… This excellent story, written by award-winning erotic author Victoria Blisse has been specially formatted for today’s eBook readers.
And now, the snog!
“Nope, I’ve got the day off tomorrow, last one until Christmas day.”
“I’m in late.” I said. “I’ll probably end up on the tills, with it being so busy right now.”
And the conversation followed in the same work related vein for a while before silence over took us again. James bent forward to place his mug down on the carpet and as he straightened he said:
“Susan I need to confess. I’m not drunk, I only took one alcoholic drink and that was for Dutch courage and I didn’t forget my house keys at all.”
I was shocked and I am sure it showed on my face. I didn’t know what to make of this at all. I think my jaw hit my chest as I looked into those sincere eyes. I felt his hands cupping mine before he carried on.
“I want you Susan, you are beautiful. I thought so from that first moment I saw you. I didn’t think a beautiful, sexy woman like you would be interested in a skinny young fella like me, which was until you took me home that time and rubbed your hands across me. I felt it then Susan, the sexual chemistry. You saw my hard on didn’t you?”
I nodded then, still in shock. Was I dreaming? Had my lemonade been spiked? This couldn’t be real. I reached out a hand and gently touched his cheek. I felt the newly shaved softness and warmth and lost myself in his eyes.
Before I knew it, Sexual Susan had taken over. She didn’t care if it was a dream; she was going to make the most of it. My lips met his in an explosion of passion. Our lips squashed together as our arms encircled each other, pulling our bodies together, roughly. I felt his fingers at my zip then was faintly aware of the rough sound of it unzipping and the feel of his fingers against my bare skin. My tongue dived between his lips, found his and playfully poked it into a passionate riposte.
I was in a daze, in a dream, in one of the many fantasies I had created around this man. His hands grasped at my dress and pulled down, encouraging me to move my arms and aid him in the removal of this barrier between us. The beautiful velvet pooled around my waist and I felt his hands fiddling with my bra clasp. My hands were busy too, untying his tie, unbuttoning the front of his shirt and reaching in to feel the soft warmth of his chest, the smattering of hair tickling my finger tips.
Our mouths were still locked, our kisses still fevered as we battled with each other’s clothes. I felt the bra give and his hands were suddenly there cupping my dropping breasts, squeezing and tweaking them, making me groan and gasp. Our lips parted, I needed to gulp in air, and I felt light-headed with sexual frenzy and lust.

Friends Friday -Jude Lieberman And my Mate Joe!
posted in Blog, Friends Friday |
So today we’ve got a double dose of Friendship! Jude Liebermann is up first!
Who are my favorite characters and why? The first two that jump to mind are Sierra and Drew. They are my newest characters, but they are also the most special. What do I mean by special? They have abilities that no normal human possesses. The reason for this, of course, is that they are not merely human. Let’s start with Drew.
Drew came along half-way through my A Modern Myth trilogy. His mother, Nada, was the heroine of those stories, but Drew was such a powerful character that he eventually starred in the final book and inspired an erotic romance all his own. It’s really hard to describe the kind of person Drew is, so here is an excerpt from Drew’s Destiny, the third story in the saga:
If Sera had opened her eyes at that moment, she might have fallen off of him. His brown eyes were now completely gold with black slits and they were fringed with red. His mouth was open and the fangs were clearly visible. The rope had thinned during his effort to be free, but the pleasure was intense and Sera went with it. Her hands were braced on his strong chest before moving behind her to clasp onto his thighs. She threw her head back and moaned as the pleasure overtook her. She was barely aware of how close Drew was to his climax, as his strong arms tugged one last time on the ropes. They couldn’t withstand the abuse any longer and snapped. He sat up and wrapped his arms around her as they rolled over and fell off the bed.
Sera’s eyes opened in surprise as she was suddenly thrown to her back, the breath knocked from her lungs. Her head hit the floor hard and she saw stars. Drew pounded within her a few times before he let out a hair-raising howl. She tried to regain her breath as he buried his face in her neck and went still.
‘Drew?’ His arms were wrapped so tightly around her that she could barely draw breath to speak, and it felt as if his nails were dug into her skin.
‘Wait.’ His voice was pained, and Sera nervously licked her lips and swallowed the lump in her throat. She felt a sharp pain as his teeth scraped against her neck. Her eyes rolled up toward the ceiling as she thought about the strength that it took to snap those ropes. Tears filled her eyes as she closed them, but then a strange flapping noise forced them open again. She sucked in her breath and bit her tongue to keep from screaming. Two huge brown wings cut through the air above them. She didn’t dare move her hands, fearing she would feel that they were connected to Drew’s back. She closed her eyes and took a few deep breaths to calm down. When she opened her eyes again, the wings were gone. Drew gave a shuddering breath and then rolled off of her.
As you can see he is a complicated character, and I fell in love with him as I wrote his story. He inspired me so much that I eventually wrote an erotic romance about his continuing adventures, Drew’s Awakening, and it was published by Cobblestone Press.
Sierra is my newest character and is the heroine of Sierra Sky, which will be released by Total-e-Bound on January 16, 2012. She is a hybrid of human and alien. Her father is a King of his home planet, and she is forced to travel to his home and marry a rival prince. But she is in love with her bodyguard and wants to be with him. Knowing she must do her duty, she decides she can have her cake and eat it too.
Here is an unedited excerpt of her story:
She leaped to her feet, ignoring the intense rush of pain. It flew up her spine and exploded behind her eyes, but her fear kept her moving. The snake like thing had wrapped itself around her left leg, and she reached into her pants to grab it. Hoping it wasn’t poisonous; she quickly pulled it out and tried to throw it away from her. Being only partially successful, her lip curled as she stared over her shoulder to see the thing whipping the air behind her. It had attached itself to her backside and was poking out from the waistband of her jeans.
“What the hell?” As feeling fully restored to her body, a hard tug of the creature caused her to yelp in pain. Had it bitten her? She broke out in a cold sweat, unsure what to do next. Expecting her fingers to get sticky and damp from her own blood, she held her breath as she explored where the snake was attached. When she felt dry skin and no sign of teeth or fangs, her exploration deepened. Fingers stroked and probed until she became certain that it wasn’t a snake but a tail.
“I have a tail.” It was supposed to be a question but came out as a statement instead. “How can I have a tail?”
To read the rest of this excerpt, be sure to visit my forum.
The rest of my characters are also exciting and worth reading about. Feel free to join my forum, where I post many free reads for my active members.
As I am sure everyone knows by now today I am in London for my Book Launch. I’ll be at Sh!Hoxton from 7.30pm reading excerpts from Tempting Rendezvous and signing copies.
Today’s Friends Friday is dedicated to a very special friend of mine, without him the Rubenesque Rendezvous series wouldn’t exist. Today I’m going to tell you all about Joe. Because Joe is based on a real life American. First here’s the Tempting Rendezvous Blurb
Curvy single mum Leanna is waiting for a man, not just any man.He has to be handsome, intelligent, funny and dominant. Enter Joe, he’s a masterful business man who brooks no nonsense and who punishes Leanna in just the way she needs, just the way she likes. He appreciates her curves and uses every excuse to get his hands on them!
Passion sparks between the couple, Naughty liaisons and public games all play to their deepest desires but can their love blossom? Will Joe give up his workaholic lifestyle and Can Leanna learn to trust another person with the most important thing in her life-her child?
I met Joe on a little internet site called Literotica on the forums there. Before I was a published Erotic Romance Author I wrote stories and put them up online there for everyone to see and I would chat in the Author’s Hangout of that site pretty regularly (still do from time to time) and then one day I came across Joe.
Joe Wordsworth was in many ways the complete opposite of me. He got into arguments…I mean debates all the time, would never shy away from controversy and would rub people up the wrong way regularly. I on the other hand am known for being nice. I was first struck by his AV (yep, I’m shallow sometimes too) and then by his cheeky arrogance and his sense of humour. So I set about getting to know him more.
Now to this day I really do not know quite how we came to be such firm friends, but we did. Joe became known as my soft spot and it became all the more obvious when my stories took to mentioning tall, dark American strangers! I first wrote Naughty Rendezvous about 5 years ago and it was up on literotica for a while. I told Joe he was the inspiration for it and he was tickled pink by my confession I am glad to say.
I submitted Naughty Rendezvous to my publisher once I got established and as many of you know it was published back in 2007 for a while. When it came out there I was struck with a need to write a sequel. Joe and Leanna were demanding more of me. So a sequel was written. About this point I removed all my work from that publisher and so Naughty Rendezvous and the follow up just sat on my computer feeling sorry for themselves.
While all this is happening Joe and I became not just friends but best mates. I know him as Flannel now too, not as his internet nickname. We converse as a matter of regularity, I email him every day he emails me when I myther him into doing it, ha, that’s an inside jokes folks, but it’s kinda true! ;) He knows my secrets and I know his. I still think he’s hot (don’t worry, the hubby knows and approves the friendship!) but now I love him more for his personality and for the friendship we share between us.
So back to the story. Earlier this year I had a hit with Getting Physical and the 2 other books in my Getting Together series. Getting Physical was featured on the Vanessa show and I got all excited about having a series out there for the world to enjoy. So PING! I remember Naughty Rendezvous and it’s sequel and my plans for a third book to complete the set. So I told Flannel all about it and settled in to writing the third book.
I submitted them to Xcite and heard back not long after. They wanted to publish them. This was fabulous news in itself but when Hazel Cushion, the big boss lady at Xcite (and all round lovely person) told me that all three books were to be combined into a novel and printed in time for me to take them to sign at Erotica I screamed with delight. And now 2 of the three ebook Novellas are out there. Naughty Rendezvous and Seductive Rendezvous have both received rave reviews and I couldn’t be happier that people are loving Joe as much as I do.
And now Tempting Rendezvous is out there for folks to buy too. If you look at the dedication in all these books you’ll see a mention to Flannel. My best mate, my big fan and my inspiration. Without him none of this would be possible. So today’s Friend’s Friday is a HUGE thank you to my friend Flannel, the inspiration behind Tempting Rendezvous.
THANKS FLANNEL!!!!!!

All you have to do is scroll down to ‘Best Erotic PNR, Magic and Fantasy’ and vote, you’ll have to be logged in but it’s terribly simple and I really appreciate every vote!
Here’s a Sexy Excerpt from Silver Screen Dream to thank you for your vote!
I looked away from the richness of the room and saw him. He was on the modern, square-shaped and clean-lined sofa, and in contrast to its flat, cream cushions, he was naked and his dark toffee-colour skin just called out to be licked.
“Wow, you’re naked,” I said then internally berated myself for saying something so obvious.
“Yes, and you have too many clothes on.”
I laughed nervously. “Well, it is a bit nippy out there to have arrived in only my birthday suit.”
“I understand,” he smiled, “but it’s warm here. Disrobe for me.”
I looked at him, my heart thumping, and he added one word that melted all my worries and resolve.
“Please?” His wide, blue eyes shone with desire.
Like a rudderless boat on the Indian Ocean, I was powerless to resist their pull.
I gently nodded my head and shrugged my denim jacket off my shoulders. I thought it was a good place to start, but after that I felt a little lost. What was I meant to do next? I noticed for the first time there was some low and soft music playing, and I started to sway to the beat. I walked forward a few steps and glanced towards Rahul. He nodded encouragingly and stretched himself out along the length of the sofa. I was not struck by the length of the sofa, though, but something else long, hard and inviting. I needed him.
I closed my eyes and swayed. I slipped the simple canvas shoes from my feet and stepped forward. I just let the rhythm of the music run through me. All the women in Bollywood films could can dance, they’d shimmy and shake at the drop of a lotus blossom. I knew it wasn’t so terribly simple, but I guessed if I moved to the music it would look something like dancing, and if I took off my clothes Rahul would be too distracted to notice my lack of coordination.
I had slipped on a casual dress, one of only a few I owned, which had a floral pattern and buttons down the front. I encouraged the first button open with trembling fingers and kept my hips swinging. I opened my eyes to check on Rahul. He was still naked, still watching me and still very much aroused.
I gulped and undid the next button. The atmosphere was heavy, I could almost feel the tension draped over us like a sheet. My fingers shook and not just with nerves. I was anxious, excited and above all eager. I wanted to be free of my dress and draped across Rahul. I couldn’t wait to feel his naked flesh against mine. I was sure it was something of which I would never grow tired. I knew it was something I wanted to experience as much as I could so I would always be able to conjure up the memory.
When I reached my waist, I stopped undoing buttons and worked on shimmying my way out of the sleeves. Rahul moaned appreciatively when my bra-encased breasts jiggled as I pulled my arms free of the flower-patterned material. Once my upper body had been released, the rest of the dress hung on my hips. I had a decision to make.
I decided to lose the bra. I was pretty confident about the beauty of my chest, but I was not a fan of my stomach and thighs. I wanted to leave them hidden for as long as possible.
Now, some women can take off a bra with a click of a finger and a shuffle. I am not that kind of woman. I tried really hard to just sexily reach behind me and loosen the hooks and reveal my not-so-secret feminine weapons. I just couldn’t seem to get a proper hold on the fastening, though, and I am pretty certain my contortions were not sexy.
“Come here, Laura. I’ll get that for you.” He smiled and beckoned me over with his finger.
“Oh, okay, thanks.” I stepped closer and turned my back to him. He gently brushed my skin with his fingers as he popped open the hooks with very little effort. I wanted him to keep on touching me, but he withdrew his hands and I let the bra slip down my arms and threw it on the floor.
“Turn around,” he whispered.
With a cheeky shake and a giggle, I did, but I kept my arms clamped across my front so he could not get a proper look at my naked tits.
“Oh, now, you’re not playing fair.” He pouted.
“You only asked me to turn around.” I played innocent and kept my arms in front of me. ”You didn’t say I should expose my boobies.”
Rahul laughed loudly. “You’re funny. But if I ask you to, will you lower your arms to your sides?”
“If you ask, I will.” I dropped my gaze coyly, worried he would gauge the depth of the sincerity in my eyes.
“Please, Laura, move your arms so I can see your beautiful breasts.”
“Yes, Sir,” I replied breathily. I honestly couldn’t tell you what led me to call him Sir. It just seemed right. I wanted him to command me to do other things. I wanted to feel the rush of following his demands to see what his desires would be. I suppose I wanted to be freed of my responsibility and to make his needs my master. That was sexy. I stood before him, hands by my sides, my head bowed. After what felt like forever for me, he spoke.
“Remove the rest of your clothes and come here.”
I complied once I’d managed to get my fingers to work properly. I wrestled a few more buttons loose, and my dress dropped to the floor. I pulled the necklace, the amulet Rahul had sent to me, from around my neck and set it down on the coffee table. Next, I tucked my thumbs in my knickers and teased them down over my thighs. I felt naughty and very sexy stripping there in front of someone—not just anyone, either, but a Prince of Bollywood, a hero of the silver screen. There was still a little part of my brain that expected me to wake up at any moment. It just couldn’t possibly all be real. It was too good to be true.
“Wow,” he gasped as I stepped out of my underwear and straightened up once more. “You are stunning. Come here.” I strode forward confidently. Everything seemed so easy because I had decided to follow his instructions. I no longer had to think, I no longer had to fight my own negativity. I just had to do what he told me to do. It was thrilling. “Your skin is so pale,” he whispered and trailed his fingertips down over my hip. “It’s like ice cream, and I just want to lick you all over.”
And just one last reminder, tomorrow I’m in London baby, yeah. I have my book launch in Hoxton Friday Night with the Sh!Girlz (a few tickets are left if you want in!) and Saturday I’m at Erotica all day for signings, readings and answerings of the questions! If you’re in London I hope to see you there!
