Naughty Delights Guest Blog!
Today I am honoured to share my blog with my friends, the wonderful (and very HOT!) Kameron Brook and her partner in crime (among many other things! :) ), Dirk Tyler, authors of the deliciously sinful Naughty Delights:
Here's an enticing excerpt to whet your appetites, you lucky people!! :)
* * * * * *
This is
it,
Elizabeth thought as she pushed through the door to deliver a large batch of
chocolate and vanilla sugar cookies to the display case. It was grand opening
day for Guilty Pleasures, and she couldn’t be more excited or more nervous.
Years of scrimping and saving had accumulated to this day. In a matter of
minutes the bakery would be open for business, and their city would officially
have their first taboo sweet shop.
Elizabeth took one final look
around, making sure everything was perfect, when Felicia, her business partner
and friend, appeared next to her, chomping on a fornication cookie.
Out of all the sugary creations
crafted for the shop, Elizabeth and Felicia would agree these were the most fun
to develop. They spent many wine-filled nights brainstorming and researching
ideas for the inserts.
“What’s it say, babe?” Elizabeth
asked, nodding toward the paper in Felicia’s hand.
Felicia laughed and read the
naughty message, "Two heads are better than one, but three, now that’s
what I call a party!" As she tucked
the paper into her back pocket, she asked, “I forget. Was this yours or mine?”
“I actually think your man
deserves credit for this one.” Grinning, Elizabeth grabbed the sampler plate
off the counter and walked toward the front door, turning to take one final
look around before the place filled up. She couldn't be any prouder of the
decor in her little slice of heaven. She glanced to her left and smiled proudly
as she admired the photos on the wall.
The food photographer they had
hired did a fantastic job capturing the beauty and sexiness of several corset
cakes available for purchase. But the icing on the cake, so to speak, was the
mural to the right of the entrance. A local artist painted "What Are Your
Guilty Pleasures" but the letters were actually naked people in
compromising naughty positions.
Felicia giggled. “Oh yeah, it’s
all coming back to me now. We definitely drank way too much that night.”
Nodding in agreement, Elizabeth
turned on the neon sign and opened the doors for business.
Already, a few eager customers
were waiting by the window. They actually applauded when Elizabeth stepped out
of the shop door. She greeted them with a smile and offered them their choice
of iced cocks or boobs. She wasn’t surprised the guests blushed when they made
their selection and bit into the cookie. She expected to witness many rosy
cheeks in the hours ahead of them—giggles too.
As the streets began to fill up
with people going to work, Elizabeth tried to coax even more passersby into the
shop with her funny shout-outs such as: “I bet our peckers taste as good as
your man’s. No wait, even better!” And, “Our breasts are fantastic and all
natural.” All the while she held up a
naughty treat.
After the bell dinged behind her
a couple dozen times, she realized the humorous approach to draw in customers
was working like a charm. Now with them inside, she had no doubt every person
who’d entered the shop erected from her dreams would be a repeat customer. And
with this thought, she knew the many dinners of Ramen noodles were well worth
the discomfort it cost her over the years.

Jaded and Faded Blog Tour
Yes, THAT Scarlett Ryan.
I live an extraordinary life: millionaire rock star, owner of exotic cars, pictures of me in every magazine, millions of fans, and a name that is recognized world wide. It's supposed to be my dream come true. But, my life IS a fantasy, and I want real. I want exciting. I want... NORMAL. So, I moved from California to Florida, hoping to obtain some normalcy. Instead I find...
Stephan Montgomery.
He's an arrogant jerk. Seriously, I hate him. I swear if he tells me one more blonde joke, I will punch him... again... Unfortunately I can't stop thinking about him, or his gorgeous green eyes. Trust me, I know that he's bad for me. If only my heart would listen.
I also find out that my parents have kept a LIFE CHANGING secret from me. I need to know the truth.
The harder I strive for normal, the stranger things seem to get.
* * * * * *
My Review:
As you may have already guessed, Jaded tells the first part of 19-year old Scarlett's story - her attempt to live an almost normal life, despite being a popular rock star, living the high, if not always satisfying, life in California. The life she had hoped she would be leading leaves her feeling empty and alone, and, in an attempt to get a different, more wholesome perspective, she jaunts off to Florida. When she meets the irresistible Stephan, and learns that her folks have been less than honest about a major aspect of their lives together, she soon realises that things are going to keep moving farther and farther away from the normal she so desperately seeks.
This is a well-written and entertaining story, with enough twists and angst to keep the reader flipping the pages. One thing I always look for is good editing - it makes a story flow so much better! Mercy and her editor have done a great job here, with only minor flaws, so the story moves at a good pace, and Mercy keeps you involved in Scarlett's predicaments as the plot develops into the edgy ending that primes you for Faded - the second part of the Rock Star trilogy.

Faded - Part 2 of The Rock Star Trilogy
I left Hope - the only place I've ever felt at home. So now what? Where do I go from here?
When I left, I didn't just leave my home. I left my friends, my sisters, and Stephan...I just found them. I can't lose them now.
I know that I want to do MY music. I need to remember WHY I wanted to play music in the first place. And the only way to get that is by firing my dad, but that may be harder than I thought.
On top of everything, I now have cameras following me around everywhere. Even my own home isn't safe anymore.
I've come to realize that normal will never be an option for me.
