			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/International-heat-RGB-300x2001.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1103" title="International-heat-RGB-300x200" src="http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/International-heat-RGB-300x2001.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>I reckon Mari Carr will be one of those people who, not long from now, I will say, damn, I knew her when. Mari writes the most scorching and yet sensual erotic romances and I am in total awe of her. She is also the nicest (and at the same time cheekiest) person I know. Mari also, in my opinion, looks like Anne Hathaway wtih a wild and roguish Irish streak (she even has the flaming red hair).</p>
<p>Mari is a fellow International Heat member, she knows how to party, knows how to shock and knows how to make a person believe in themselves. In short, Mari is fabulous.</p>
<p>Readers, if you don&#8217;t already know her, allow me to introduce <a href="http://maricarr.com">Mari Carr</a>&#8230;</p>
<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://samhainpublishing.com/graphics/852.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /> Mari has written so many fantastic books it&#8217;s impossible for me to highlight them all, so I&#8217;m going to go with Tequila Truth for no other reason than the cover is sooo freaking hot!! But trust me, all her books are smoking hot and must reads.</p>
<p><em>One’s the loneliest number. Two’s company. Three’s a fantasy come true.</em></p>
<p>A <em>Black &amp; White Collection</em> story</p>
<p>The rules of Tequila Truth are quite simple. Shots are poured, a question asked, and only absolute truth can be the answer. Kylie Halston has been playing the game with her roommates, Colt and Heath, since their freshmen year of college.</p>
<p>On his twenty-fifth birthday, Heath poses a question: “What is your ultimate sex fantasy?” While Colt and Heath’s fantasies are too hot for words, it’s Kylie’s sex dream that hits a little too close to home for all of them. Her wish? For a ménage a trois with two men, complete with bondage and a bit of spanking for good measure.</p>
<p>Colt and Heath are only too willing to make Kylie’s fantasies come true and they make a proposal—one no-holds-barred, sexed-up weekend where nothing is off the menu. The only question is, come Monday, will their platonic relationship survive the passion?</p>
<p>Warning, you will need to crank up the air conditioning before reading as this title contains all the following erotic goodies: explicit sex, ménage a trois (m,f,m), anal sex, spanking, bondage, and graphic language.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em><img class="alignleft" src="http://www.tropical-rainforest-animals.com/image-files/tasmaniantiger.jpg" alt="" width="490" height="300" />The Tasmanian tiger, or thylacine, was a beautiful carnivorous marsupial living in Australia over five millennia ago. It was similar in appearance to a large dog and earned its name thanks to its sandy yellow-brown fur and distinct fifteen to twenty black stripes across its back from shoulder to tail.</em></p>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>While the thylacine was almost nonexistent on the mainland of the country, by the time of European colonisation, it did live in large numbers on the small island state of Tasmania. However, the Tasmanian tiger was deemed a threat to sheep and chicken farmers—an unlikely scenario—and a large bounty was placed on its head. As a sad consequence, the thylacine was hunted to extinction, and a beautiful creature was lost to the world forever.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>The last thylacine died in a Tasmanian zoo in September, 1936, alone and pacing its concrete and metal cage, no doubt longing for its freedom.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>There have been numerous unconfirmed sightings of Tasmanian tigers in Tasmania to this day. However, most believe these sightings are fake or attempts to gain personal notoriety. The thylacine is still considered extinct by all official agencies and government bodies.</em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><em>Of course, official agencies and government bodies don’t know everything…</em></div>
<div><em><br />
 </em></div>
<div id="_mcePaste"><a href="http://samhainpublishing.com/coming/savage-transformation">Savage Transformation</a> (the second book in my Savage Australia series) releases 28th September at <a href="http://samhainpublishing.com/coming/savage-transformation">Samhain Publishing </a>and I&#8217;m very excited. It&#8217;s not every day an author gets to not only resurrect a beautiful animal long since believed extinct, but to introduce the rest of the reading world to that animal via a highly sensual, sometimes dangerous love story. And of course, I get the chance to show the world how wonderful and mysterious Australia is as well (*grin*)<img class="alignright" src="http://samhainpublishing.com/graphics/1634.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></div>

<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #000000;"><em>She thought she had a life—until being hunted shows her she’s never really lived.</em></span></p>

Not from the law, or even a jealous lover. From herself—and what she is. That strategy works for her until a funeral demands she return to home ground, and her best friend disappears. Finding Delainie means Jackie must confront the truth…and accept the help of a mysterious, sexy-as-sin Texan.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Marshall Rourke isn’t the only one flying under the radar. He’s on an off-the-grid quest to track down a rogue ex-partner who hunts paranormal beings for the joy of the kill. Convincing the unexpectedly feisty Jackie to trust him isn’t easy, but there’s no better way to lure the hunter into the open than to dangle as unique a target as Jackie—the last Tasmanian Tiger shifter in existence.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; text-align: left; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;"><span style="color: #000000;">Trouble is, Marshall hadn’t counted on Jackie’s brutal right cross. Or the fact that her simmering sexuality calls to his inner wolf on every imaginable level. And that the killer is about to use their desire to add them both to his trophy case…</span></p>
<p class="warning" style="margin-top: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 0px; font-weight: 900; color: #ff3333; text-decoration: underline; text-align: left; font-size: 1.3em; line-height: 16px; padding: 0px;">Warning: This title contains the following: explicit sex out in the bush, wild shifter sex in an abandoned shack, passionate sex in a hotel shower. Plus a Texan hero with a very big secret, an Australian heroine with an even bigger one, a significant amount of violence and as always, Australian sarcasm.</p>

Enjoy&#8230;</p>

<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p><em>An animal rights activist is about to get a crash course in werewolves. One she may not survive.</em><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Lone Irish werewolf Declan O’Connell has lost everything—his family, his clan, even his freedom—to his arch-rival, Nathan Epoc. The head of an underground werewolf clan and a brilliant scientist, Epoc plans to use Declan to create a super-wolf, a creature capable of shifting the balance of power in the lycanthrope world. But Epoc’s plans are about to be thwarted.</em></p>
<p><em>Regan Thomas, a determined animal rights activist, rescues what she thinks is an ordinary wolf from his notorious animal testing facility in Sydney, Australia. She gets more than she bargained for when the wolf turns into an extremely hunky, extremely naked man who immediately drags her into a world where the clash between two opposing werewolf clans could spell the end of humankind.</em><em> </em></p>
<p><em>Declan has survived without a clan for more years than he cares to remember, but sexy Regan stirs up all his fierce, alpha-wolf instincts. Now Declan has one last chance at revenge. But can he keep Regan alive, and resist the overwhelming attraction between them, long enough to stop Epoc?</em></p>
<p><em>Summer in Australia has never been this hot… or this dangerous.</em></p>
<p><strong>Snippet (it&#8217;s a naughty one  <img src='http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif' alt='8-)' class='wp-smiley' /> )</strong></p>
<p>He tumbled backward onto the bed, taking her with him. Her weight pressed upon him, light and hot, an intoxicating force he was now incapable of living without. He raked his hands up her back, snaring the hem of her tank top as he did so, pulling it from her body. Her breasts flattened to his chest, soft and full and exquisite, her pinched, rock-hard nipples rubbing against his. “Christ, I want you so fucking much,” he growled against her lips, thrusting his hips upward, pushing his cock closer to her cunt. His lungs felt bereft of air, his blood on fire. He dragged his hands around her rib cage, cupped the glorious swell of her breasts in each, rolling her nipples between his fingers.</p>
<p>She moaned, bending her knees up beside his body, spreading her legs wider, moving her sex up and down the length of his cock in slow strokes. “The feeling’s entirely mutual,” she answered, voice low and shallow.</p>
<p>She touched his chest, hands sliding over his skin, fingernails tracing little circles around his rock-hard nipples. A sigh slipped past her lips, the sound intensely erotic in the silence of the room, the feel of her breath on his skin more so. She dropped her head, flicked at his left nipple with the tip of her tongue. He sucked in a sharp breath and grabbed her hips, holding her still as he moved his hips backward and forward, fucking her sex without penetration, his balls and cock swollen with molten desire.</p>
<p>“I should be petrified,” she whispered, rising slightly to gaze down at him. “After…” Her eyes gleamed in the darkness and she dropped her head, her hair cascading forward, hiding her face. She smoothed her hands over his chest, her right stopping over his heart, pressing to its pounding beat. “But I know you’ll never hurt me.” She lifted her head again. “No matter what you are.”</p>
<p>Declan stared up at her, his blood thick. “Regan,” he breathed, wanting her to hear the tension in his voice. To hear his pain at her memory, as well as his desire for her touch. “I will never do anything but love you.”</p>
<p>She moved, rising up to her knees. For a moment he wondered what she was doing, and a stab of fear shot into his chest. Was she going away? The sound of material rasping against skin made his pulse quicken. His throat grew tight with relieved anticipation and he watched her remove her shorts, sliding them over her hips and down her thighs, shucking them free of her legs.</p>
<p>His stare fell to her exposed pussy and his breath caught. <em>Oh, Sweet Mother of Jesus.</em></p>
<p>She straddled him again, gazing down into his face for a long moment, the darkness of the room shrouding her in shadows. “Let me love you first,” she murmured as she repositioned herself, her limbs brushing against his hot flesh. She turned around, slick skin against slick skin, presenting him the divine line of her spine.</p>
<p>He reached up, encountering the smooth, firm curve of her ass, the delicate angle of her hips before moving around to the flat plane of her stomach. His heartbeat tripled. She was facing away from him on all fours, her body suspended above his. “Regan,” he said again, hearing the tremble in his voice.</p>
<p>She dipped her head, something silky feathering over his bare hip and across his thigh. He sucked in a ragged breath, realizing it was her hair. Fingers played along his legs, traveling down and up their length in slowly delicious lines drawing closer and closer to his rigid shaft with each journey, tangling ever so briefly in the tight thatch of his pubic hair before beginning their trip anew. And all this while, as her hands set fire to his blood, her hair tickled his burning flesh and her breath fanned his throbbing cock.</p>
<p>“Jesus, Regan. What are you doing to me?”</p>
<p>She didn’t answer. Not with words, at least. Her breath grew hotter on his cock, her fingers cupped his balls and her tongue flicked over the tiny slit at the end of his shaft.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a href="http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/International-heat-RGB-300x200.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-1087" title="International-heat-RGB-300x200" src="http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/International-heat-RGB-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a></p>
<p>Continuing the Meet the Heat summer (or winter, if like me you&#8217;re in the southern hemisphere, allow me to introduce two of my fellow International Heat members, Valerie Tibbs and Lila Dubois.</p>
<p>The first thing you should know about Valerie Tibbs is this: I named a vibrator after her in Copping A Feel. I did this because she is capable of making anyone go <em>oooohhhhhh</em>. Of course, she does this by creating the most amazing book covers.</p>
<p>The second thing you should know about Valerie is she totally awesome and so nice I just want to hug her to bits. At RT2010, Val made sure Mari, Jayne and I never needed anything. She bought me bikkies (or should that be cookies? Graham cookies, to be precise), she made me feel so totally welcome in a strange country I was devastated when I had to fly home. In short, Val was a Godsend.</p>
<p>Val is the genuis behind <a href="http://tibbsdesign.com">Tibbs Design</a>. If you need a book cover, she can do it. Doesn&#8217;t matter how freaky or complicated, Val can do it. If you want a website, Val can do it. Just take a little peek-see at some of her most amazing stuff!</p>
<p><a href="http://tibbsdesign.com"><img class="alignnone" src="http://tibbsdesign.com/wp-content/gallery/covers/the-witching-hour-300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="450" /></a><img class="alignnone" src="http://tibbsdesign.com/wp-content/gallery/covers/bye-bye-skyler300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="450" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://tibbsdesign.com/wp-content/gallery/covers/power-struggle300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="473" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://tibbsdesign.com/wp-content/gallery/covers/scarlet-boas300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="450" /><img class="alignnone" src="http://tibbsdesign.com/wp-content/gallery/covers/twice-her-age300.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="436" /> See what I mean? Stunning, aren&#8217;t they. And these are just a small snap-shot of the work that Val does. Seriously, if you need <a href="http://tibbsdesign.com/portfolio-other/">banners, websites, book covers or any other author web-based service</a>, I can&#8217;t recommend Valerie enough. Two reasons, she produces beautiful work&#8230;.and she&#8217;s a born sweetie <img src='http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Now, <a href="http://www.liladubois.net/">Lila Dubois</a> is another story altogether. Lila scares me. Seriously. She is totally, unabashedly out there and proud of it. She makes no apologies for being sinfully erotic and blatently sexy. She writes some of the most mindblowing erotic romance I&#8217;ve ever read. Period. My favourite, I think, is Lights, Camera, Monsters, a tale set in Hollywood starring the hottest, most gorgeous monsters around. Take a look&#8230;</p>
<p><a href="http://samhainpublishing.com/romance/lights-cameramonsters"><img class="alignleft" src="http://samhainpublishing.com/graphics/611.jpg" alt="" width="200" height="300" /></a>When monsters need a makeover, they head for the one place that can make it happen. Hollywood.</p>
<p><em>Book 1, Monsters in Hollywood series.</em></p>
<p>Luke is desperate to save his people. A lifetime of sneaking in to human houses and watching movies has convinced him that if he can make a great movie about monsters, humanity will change its opinion of them. With his friends at his side, all in shiny new human bodies, Luke heads for Tinsel Town.</p>
<p>A rising Hollywood producer, all-business Lena knows a good story when she sees it. Luke? He’s just another amateur who wants to get famous. But Luke’s too gorgeous to pass up. And there’s something vulnerable about him that leads her to throw caution to the wind and invite him to dinner.</p>
<p>One night of incredible sex later, Lena wakes up next to the surprise of her life. She’s sleeping next to a monster. Literally.</p>
<p>Appearances aside, she finds herself wanting to help Luke save his people. But they’ve got more to worry about than just human prejudice.</p>
<p>Some of the monsters would rather stay in the closet—and to make them all stay there, they’re willing to kill.</p>
<p><strong><span style="text-decoration: underline;"><span style="color: #ff0000;">Warning, this title contains the following: multiple orgasms, spanking, misuse of kitchen utensils and sex with monsters.</span></span></strong></p>
<p>Lena cocked her head to the side. “If the story you want to tell isn’t about your three-way relationship, what is it about?”</p>
<p>Luke certainly wasn’t going to tell her here, in fact, the plan was to avoid telling her the full truth for as long as possible. “It’s about us, about what we are.”</p>
<p>“And what are you?”</p>
<p>“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.”</p>
<p>Lena reached across the table and grabbed his wrist, two fingers settling on the soft inside. “You have a pulse, so you aren’t A.I. Enhanced military super solider?” she guessed.</p>
<p>“No.” Luke was distracted by her fingers on his wrist. They were soft, with white and pink nails, her skin delectably pale against the dark tint of his human flesh. She started to pull her hand away, but Luke wrapped his fingers around hers, holding her in place. They both looked at their tangled hands, and in an instant, the atmosphere at the table changed.</p>
<p>Luke imagined how they would look pressed against one another. The dichotomy of skin tones on the grand scale of their full naked bodies. Lena’s fingers curled into his, stroking the hollow of his palm, and Luke swallowed. <em>Please let that be the opening strains of human mating rituals.</em></p>
<p>“I think I know a way to solve our problem.” Lena’s voice was butter smooth and velvet soft. He raised his gaze from their locked hands to her face. Blue eyes peeked at him under dark lashes.</p>
<p>“We have a problem?”</p>
<p>“I think we do. You want me to agree to make a movie about what you are, but won’t tell me precisely what that might be.” Lena slid her fingers from his, then reached up and ran her index finger from the tip of his eyebrow, down over his cheekbone, to the corner of his mouth. “So it looks like I’ll have to find out all on my own.”</p>
<p>She sat back and signaled the waiter for the check.</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Both Valeria and Lila are International Heat members, and if you&#8217;ve been following my regular introductions there&#8217;s something you should all know by now about them &#8211; they are brilliant. Come meet them in more wicked detail at <a href="http://internationalheat.wordpress.com/">International Heat</a>. Go on&#8230;.don&#8217;t be scared <img src='http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignleft" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51eIfJryRFL._SL500_AA266_PIkin2,BottomRight,-5,34_AA300_SH20_OU01_.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="300" />I read <a href="http://www.jasaare.com/">J.A. Saare</a>&#8216;s <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Dead-Undead-Somewhere-Between-ebook/dp/B0037HOIZ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;m=A24IB90LPZJ0BS&amp;s=digital-text&amp;qid=1280915897&amp;sr=1-1">Dead, Undead or Somewhere In Between</a> a while ago and it just won&#8217;t leave my head. I figured, if I enjoyed it this much, I may as well share with the world how much I loved it.</p>
<p>This is one of those books I stumbled upon (via a reader review at Goodreads) and couldn&#8217;t stop reading. Honestly, I didn&#8217;t sleep for more than two hours after buying Dead, Undead or Somewhere In Between because I just couldn&#8217;t put my iPad down. The heroine is amazing, a take no crap bar tender at a stip club in the US who also happens to ****maybe spoiler**** see dead people. And the hero? An absolutely droolicious alpha vampire called Disco. The action and fight scenes are very well written, the dialogue just pops and I was genuinely worried for the characters more than once. Oh, and the sexual chemistry between Disco and Rhiannon is just fantabulous!</p>
<p>Really, I know there are lots and lots of vampire books out there now but there was something about Dead, Undead or Somewhere In Between that really really got to me. I can&#8217;t wait for the next book (because the cliff-hanger ending almost made me scream! <img src='http://www.lexxiecouper.com/wp/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_biggrin.gif' alt=':-D' class='wp-smiley' />  )</p>
<p>Consider me a new groupie.</p>
