Blurb:

Trading orgasms for information isn’t their usual way of doing business, but when a missing criminal-turned-star-witness and fifty grand are on the line, bounty hunter R. A. Thorn and Detective Cameron Martinez are prepared to put their bodies to the task and give gorgeous Brenna Sheridan everything she needs.

An exchange they never anticipated becomes an experience none can forget — or walk away from. Sexual hunger sizzles the threesome, but the stakes and danger rise as a mafia bad-ass stalks Brenna.

Soon, their “deal” is no longer about information — or sex. Emotions bind Brenna, Cam and Thorn together more tightly than they ever imagined as the men protect — and serve — the beloved woman neither can live without.

Nic’s Recommendation:

Ms. Black has penned another scorching and captivating tale. This book is packed with emotion, action, surprising twists and very wicked, hot sex. The characters are vivid and compelling. The obstacles Brenna, Cam and especially Thorn had to face and overcome to make their unconventional trio work will keep you on the edge of your seat and rapidly turning pages.

There is some m/m interaction in this menage, and I absolutley love how Ms. Black approached the subject head on. In my opinion, those interactions made the scenes even hotter and made the characters even more real for me.

Dangerous Boys And Their Toys is available from Ellora’s Cave Publishing. I highly recommend you drop whatever you’re doing and go get this great read now!

I’m not gonna write you a love letter. Nope, not me.

Woohoo! Willow Rayne from Dark Angel Reviews gave Trip My Switch a 4 pixie review. Thanks, Willow! I’m thrilled you enjoyed the book!

“TRIP MY SWITCH was a very fun and engaging ride of sexual discovery. I really related to Bash as he was trying to figure out where he fit into the D/s world. I felt him being pulled in both directions and I really wanted him to be happy. There is a relationship between Bash and a few characters that really took me by surprise. I knew that he had an ex, but when I discovered all the rest of the story, I was in Heaven! The air of mystery behind the men and women taking charge of Bash’s life really added some drama to this story that kept me on the edge of my seat. The sex scenes throughout this wonderful tale are enough to require a cold shower afterward. Filled with drama, angst and a really great romance, TRIP MY SWITCH is a hit, in my opinion, for Nicole Austin.”

 

 

I’ve been working a lot of overtime and my allergies are kicking my butt so no Thursday Thirteen from me this week. Hopefully, I’ll be back in the swing of things next week.

I hope everyone is having a wonderful Memorial Day holiday, however you observe the day.

 

This week on The Hussies blog has been all about setting your inner hussy free. I’ve written about my own personal journey to conquering shyness and letting my inner hussy out to play.

Thirteen Reasons I’m Looking At New Cars

I’ve been shopping online and trying to decided if it’s the right time to buy. Here are 13 reasons I’ve been checking out new cars and comparing lists of features, specifications and options. I’ll probably be going for test drives over the next week.

1. $$ Gas. The deal through Chrysler, Dodge and Jeep that gets you 12,000 miles worth of gas per year at $2.99 a gallon for three years is going to save me a lot of money.

2. $$ Maintenance. My current car has all kinds of high performance equipment that costs a fortune to maintain and replace.

3. $$ Low % rate. My bank offered me a great deal

4. $$ Cash back incentives

5. No haggling nightmares by using my bank’s purchase program

6. Leg room. My son, at 13 years old, is already 5’ 9” and wears a size 11 men’s shoe. He needs more room!

7. Better warranties available

8. New and improved safety features

9. Fun new car gadgets to play with

10. I enjoy driving and actually know about things like displacement, torque, horsepower…

11. New car smell (even though it’s supposed to bad for you)

12. Showing off the new car to friends and family

13. Because I want one

The big dilemma—deciding whether luxury or muscle is more important to me both right now and in the long run.

Thirteen Summer Movies

I’m not really into chick flicks or sad movies, I’m more of a action, thriller or scary movie kinda girl. Once in a while I’ll go for something sweet and romantic but more often I want to watch kick-ass characters blow shit up. Below are 13 movies that might be worth seeing this summer. Yes, a few of these are out and I’m behind already. LOL!
