Books to Spice up your Life (by my big sissy, Megan Hart)

-620038618

Yeah. She's my sister but a shameless plug this is not. Buy 'em. Read 'em. Love 'em. To give warning where warning is due they are "adult" books. If you can't take the heat, stay out of the book store. The information/blurbs in quotes below comes straight from the author's mouth ... er ... website (aka stolen by moi for your Guidespot reading pleasure! I <3 you, big sissy!) P.S. That photo, up there, to the left. That one where she looks really pretty with her wind blown purple hair? Her photographer friend, Scott Church took it. (www.scottchurch.net) Look him up. He'll make YOU look really pretty too.

That's her, That's me.

Do we look alike?

I'm having a lil' contest, ya'll.

So.  My sissy is always kind enough to give a book to yours truly.  However, I must support so I buy ‘em too.  Now I HAVE two (copies of Stranger).  Being a girl against clutter I would like to pass my extra copy on to a lucky Guidespotter-Stranger(or hey, a not-stranger if you know me!).

If you’re interested in my sort-of read, but ever so carefully taken care of copy leave me a comment on THIS guide by Valentine’s Day 2009 … I’ll pick a random and send it to you.  (No worries … I will figure out a way to get your address without the world knowing.  AND, I won’t stalk you.  Promise.  Unless you live someplace warm and have a guest room.)

Ooo … ooo … AND … I will get her to sign it for you.  She’s good like that.

A Red Hot Valentine's Day

Harrisburg is the capital of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, United States. As of the 2000 census, the city had a population of 48,950. The Harrisburg area population was 643,820, making it the fourth largest metropolitan area in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg is the county seat of Dauphin CountyGR6 and lies on the east bank of the Susquehanna River, 105 miles (169 km) west-northwest of Philadelphia.Harrisburg is one of the oldest and most historically significant state capital cities in the United States. It has played a critical role in American history during the Westward Migration, the American Civil War, and the Industrial Revolution. During part of the 19th century, the building of the Pennsylvania Canal and later the Pennsylvania Railroad, allowed Harrisburg to become one of the most industrialized cities in the Northeastern United States.Contrasted with its 1981 status as the second most distressed city in the nation, Harrisburg has undergone a dramatic economic resurgence, with nearly $3 billion in new investment now realized. The US Navy ship USS Harrisburg, which served from 1918-19 at the end of World War I, is named in honor of the city. Harrisburg is also known for the infamous Three Mile Island incident, which occurred in nearby Middletown.

Her books take place in the H-Burg and surrounding areas. Can you guess the locations?

“This month, my name is Mary.

My name is different every month — Brandy, Honey, Amy…sometimes Joe doesn’t even bother to ask — but he never fails to arouse me with his body, his mouth, his touch, no matter what I’m called or where he picks me up. The sex is always amazing, always leaves me itching for more in those long weeks until I see him again.

My real name is Sadie, and once a month over lunch, Joe tells me about his latest conquest. But what Joe doesn’t know is that, in my mind, I’m the star of every X-Rated one-night stand he has revealed to me, or that I’m practically obsessed with our imaginary sex life. I know it’s wrong. I know my husband wouldn’t understand. But I can’t stop.

Not yet."

“This is what happened…
I met him at the candy store.

He turned and smiled at me and I was surprised enough to smile back. This was not a children’s candy store, mind you—this was the kind of place you went to buy expensive imported chocolate truffles for your boss’s wife because you felt guilty for having sex with him when you were both at a conference in Milwaukee.

Hypothetically speaking, of course.

I’ve been hit on plenty of times, mostly by men with little finesse who thought what was between their legs made up for what they lacked between their ears.

Sometimes I went home with them anyway, just because it felt good to want and be wanted, even if it was mostly fake.

The problem with wanting is that it’s like pouring water into a vase full of stones. It fills you up before you know it, leaving no room for anything else. I don’t apologize for who I am or what I’ve done in—or out—of bed.

I have my job, my house and my life, and for a long time I haven’t wanted anything else.

Until Dan. Until now."

 

Meet Megan Hart!

“When she was in third grade, Megan Hart fell in love for the first time. Not with a boy (that would wait until fourth grade), but with a story. Homecoming by Ray Bradbury leaped out at her from the pages of a library book, and she tumbled head over heels. In the dark ages, before the days of photocopiers, the only way for her to keep a copy of this story was to copy it out by hand so she could read it over and over again. Something funny happened, though, as she carefully printed it on lined notebook paper.

She made “improvements.”

At age twelve, reading Stephen King’s The Stand for the first time one memorable summer, it occurred to her that people really did write books for a living. That’s when she decided to become an author.

Megan began writing short fantasy, horror and science fiction before graduating to novel-length romances. In 1998, now a stay-home mom, Megan took up writing in earnest, attending her first writing conference and getting her first request for a full manuscript. In 2002 she saw her first book in print, and she hasn’t stopped since.

She’s published in almost every genre of romantic fiction, including historical, contemporary, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, futuristic, fantasy and perhaps most notably, erotic. She also writes non-erotic fantasy and science fiction, as well as continuing to occasionally dabble in horror.

Megan’s goal is to continue writing spicy, thrilling love stories with a twist. Her dream is to have a movie made of every one of her novels, starring herself as the heroine and Keanu Reeves as the hero. Megan lives in the deep, dark woods with Superman and two monsters…er…children."

“I pay strangers to sleep with me. I have my reasons…

But they’re not the ones you expect. For starters, I’m a funeral director taking over my dad’s business. Not exactly the sort of person you’d expect to fork over cash for the lust and urgency only live, skin-to-skin contact can create. Looking at me, you wouldn’t have a clue I carry this little secret so close it creases up like the folds of a fan. Tight. Personal. Ready to unravel in the heat of the moment.

Unsurprisingly, my line of work brings me face to face with loss. So I decided long ago that paying for sex would be one of the best (and arousing) ways to save myself from the one thing that would eventually cut far too deep.

But Sam was a mistake. Literally. I signed on to “pick up” a stranger at a bar, but took Sam home instead. And now that I’ve felt his heat, his sweat and everything else can I really go back to impersonal?

Let’s just hope he never finds out about my other life…"

“Some lovers never leave you…

Twenty years ago she had her whole life spread out before her like a mesmerizing map. She was Bess Walsh, a fresh-scrubbed, middle-class student ready to conquer the design world. And she was taken. Absolutely and completely.

But not by Andy, her well-groomed, intellectual boyfriend who hinted more than once about a ring. No. During that hot summer as a waitress and living on the beach, she met Nick, a dark haired, local bad boy. He was, to put it mildly, not someone she could take home to Daddy.

Instead, Nick became her dirty little secret; a fervent sexual accomplice who knew how to ignite an all-consuming obsession she had no idea she carried deep within her.

Bess had always wondered what happened to Nick after that summer, after their promise to meet again. And now, back at the beach house and taking a break from responsibility, from marriage, from life, she discovers his heartbreaking fate—and why he never came back for her. Suddenly Nick’s name is on her lips…his hands on her thighs…dark hair and eyes called back from the swirling gray of purgatory’s depths.

Dead, alive, or something in-between, they can’t stop their hunger.

She wouldn’t dare."

“After leaving the wrong man, Leah Griffin’s not ready to look for the right one. All she wants is to survive the conference she’s planning and spend some time with her best friend, Kate Edwards. She’s not expecting the conference services manager to be so tall, dark and handsome…or so eager to please. Brandon Long’s job is to make Leah happy, but after a scorching interlude in her hotel room, neither can deny business has become pleasure.

Smart, driven and successful attorney Katherine Edwards has spent her life making the right choices. Directly counter to those choices, she’s involved in a long-distance, secret love affair with a co-worker. Charles Dixon is a choice she can’t help but make over and over. A conference and a promotion bring Kate back to Pennsylvania and suddenly, Dix wants more than a few nights in random hotel rooms. He wants something permanent and Katherine has to figure out if sometimes the wrong choice isn’t exactly what a woman needs.

One conference. Two friends. Two men who know how to take care of business."

I am appalled to admit, that despite having thoroughly enjoyed it, I have read only one book by Megan Hart. WTF is my problem??? I intend to remedy that, especially now that I am reminded by this awesome spot how much I loved that book! (BTW, I love all of Megan’s books’ cover designs, but especially the one for Deeper. I have had chlorinated fun, and I can PROMISE you, it looked nothing like that! Wow!)

I have most of Megan’s books and i LOVE them! This was such a great idea for a spot!!! Once you start reading you won’t be able to put them down (unless of course if you need a moment or two to compose yourself!) and will be reaching for the next one!
