Thieves & Lovers Book 1

Sooo thrilled to show off my new covers for the first two books in my Robin Hood Thieves & Lovers series. (Thanks to talented cover artist, Dar Albert!) For now I'm leaving the old ones up in the left sidebar for comparison purposes, but I'll change them later. So whatcha think? Huge improvement, huh? P.S. Third in the series is A Witch's Thief (see sidebar), and the fourth and final book is in the works.

Thieves & Lovers Book 2

The New Me!

Just a quickie note to let you know that, first, I'm baaaack!!! And second, if you land here on my blog page, yes, you are seeing a sample of my new author design. Frustratingly Sadly, I continue to have technical issues uploading images to my server, so my old website will remain up until I pull my last hair out. Hope you like my new tropical feel. Note my awesome tagline: Sultry erotic romances... Sassy but never sweet. So whatcha think???

New Movie Review & Happy St. Pat's Day!

Happy St. Patrick's Day! It's in the 60s and sunny where I'm at, and I do believe I can see some green sprouting up in my yard. Maybe there's a four-leaf clover or two in there somewhere. :) Hope everyone's having a warm day full of rainbows, pots o' gold, green beer or cocktails, and corned beef and cabbage with taters.

Okay, gotcha a new paranormal movie rec over at Mandy Roth and Michelle Pillow's blog. If you've seen it, I hope you'll drop off your thoughts. If not, it's a great rental if you're in the mood for eerie supernatural stuff.

Oh, and Happy Hump Day too!  :D

Hot Covers Saturday

Yes, that's right, my Hot Covers feature isn't day-specific or tied to Mondays only like you thought (or rather, like I led you to believe---mwhahaha!). Instead, it's whatever day I see a hot cover and decide it's worth noting. *g*

So here's one that really grabbed my attention, the colors, the wolf, the paranormal ambiance, and yes, the chick. Sometimes all those shirtless guy-meat torsos can all start to look alike and become a yawn, imo, so it's refreshing to see a kick-ass, gorgeous heroine on the cover. Very nice, and I love the title. Anyone read this author? I haven't yet, but as you already know by now, I tend to check a book out more when a cover grabs me, so this one goes on my TBB list.

Happy Saturday, and stay safe, everyone!

Yummy Irish Male

At one time, YOU'VE GOT IRISH MALE, a m/f erotic paranormal romance, was only available in the Enchanted Rogues anthology. But I'm excited to announce that it has just been re-issued as a single release at a much more affordable price than the full antho.  (In addition to the lower regular price, YGIM is also on sale today!) With St. Patrick's Day being just a few short weeks away, it would be the perfect read!

Here're a few review snippets and some buzz:

5/5 Angels and a RECOMMENDED READ! "Titania Ladley had me hooked from the beginning with this original short story. You've Got Irish Male is packed with lots of humor...creative, not to mention hot, sex scenes found within." ~ Jennifer M. for Fallen Angel Reviews

"This is a very funny story that reels you in from the get go... The erotic scenes are many and especially inventive. They will leave you breathless. I enjoyed this story immensely -- it is quite unique in plot and characters, and the ending is right out of a fairy tale." ~ Marina for Cupid's Library Reviews


5/5 Blue Ribbons! "Titania Ladley gives us a really unique tale of magic and love. This story is jam-packed with enough heat to set off your smoke detector." ~ Janean Sparks for Romance Junkies

5/5 Stars! "One of the best short stories I have read in months... The incomparable twists and turns of the storyline added to the overall charm of this lively and exceptionally entertaining story, which puts this high on my recommendation list." ~ Francesca Hayne for Just Erotic Romance Reviews
5/5 Steaming Cups! "Ms. Ladley has written a tantalizing story of spells, magic, sensual desire and a romance to last for all time...a love that came from nowhere to create a passionate and giving relationship." ~ Sheryl for Coffee Time Romance
 
So there you have it! Head on over to Ellora's Cave now. And did I mention yet that YGIM is on sale today, too! ;)

Ahoy, Matey! Verrry Interesting Post....

Ya know, I have mixed feelings on ebook piracy, but I don't usually (actually never) get into the online scuffles one way or the other on the subject. Some might think maybe I should, but sry, I just don't. :-/ Anyway, I really admire thriller author Joe Konrath and his stance on a lot of things in publishing including piracy, and while *occasionally* I don't agree with him, I really dig his style and his way of explaining things. (Um, I can be sorta blonde, so it's helpful.) Very cool dude. So go take a look at his blog at A Newbie's Guide To Publishing about "Booty Call"---some really interesting stuff. I found it cuz I'm a lurker there and subscribe to it on my Bloglines feeds thingy. :D

Hot Covers Monday - January 18, 2010 and Contests

Wow, that week sure went by fast. Can't believe it's already time for Hot Covers Monday again. This week I'm featuring ECSTASY BOUND by Ruth D. Kerce, book #4 in her Xylon Warriors series. Wowza, take a look at those abs and the expression of pure lust sizzling between the h/h. Oh, and the cool sci-fi-ish background just completes the entire gorgeous picture, doncha think? BTW, Ruth's a fabulous author. Can't go wrong with one of her books. ;)

Book 4 in the Xylon Warriors series.

Sex and survival.

Xylon Warrior Brianna Koll is determined to concentrate on her duty. But she’s drawn to an Earth man, Lieutenant Colonel Sam Briggs, in ways she’s never felt before. Now her duty will bring them even closer. She needs to sexually Initiate Sam in order to save Earth. The rite—a breeding preparation and protection ceremony for Xylon Warriors—will alter his semen, so a serum can be developed to protect Earthlings from the Egesa Slave Masters’ diseases and poisons.

To save Earth, Sam is more than willing to go through the public, erotic, multi-partner ceremony. And to be with Brianna. Her alien genetics intrigue him. But it’s become more than just physical. His sexual fantasies about her have grown into true passion. Only their commitment to their people and to each other will enable them to survive and they don’t have much time. The Egesa are on their way to Earth to enslave the planet.

Hot Covers Monday - January 11, 2010 and a Contest

I gotta admit I'm one to judge a book by its cover, and I often buy certain books just for their hot or interesting cover art. Here's one that really caught my eye recently, A Date With Mr. Wonderful by Lynn LaFleur. I love his expression---total smoke, he only has eyes for her.

Here's a blurb for you:

Second in the Lavender Lace series.

A shopping spree at Lavender Lace, a lingerie store owned by Celtic goddess Ashlyn, thrills Twyla Gardiner, who has trouble finding sexy lingerie to fit her tall, voluptuous body. But who will get to appreciate that lacy red bra and risqué thong?


Twyla’s friends seem determined to set her up with new men every week. When her best friend arranges yet another blind date with a man she swears is Mr. Wonderful, Twyla decides she can’t go through another disappointment. She escapes to a favorite hideaway spa.


Daniel LaFevers is new in the Seattle area and hasn’t had the chance to meet many women. One look at the voluptuous raven-haired beauty sitting in the bar of the locals’ favorite hideaway and Daniel knows he has to get to know her better.


When Twyla invites Daniel to her room for an evening of unforgettable passion, will this be another in a long line of disappointments, or a date with Mr. Wonderful?

The first in this series is just as hot, btw, and it's titled Business and Pleasure. Both books are currently available.


As for the CONTEST, Lynn is generously offering a free download to one random commenter here on today's Hot Covers Monday post, so be sure and share your thoughts! Contest ends...hmm, who knows? But I'll post the winner here when the time comes. :)
