4th of July Blog Hop

Hello and welcome :-)

Okay, so I am guessing if you've swung by my erotic romance blog you don't have too delicate a disposition and a few coarse words won't offend you. It's not like I'm just going to spout a tirade of abuse at you, not at all, I just wanted to natter about the difference between US cursing and English cursing - even that word is different, in the UK we would say swearing. As an English author quite often I sit here racking my brains when it comes to thinking up insults for my US characters to hurl at one another!!

Mr H is English through and through, born in London, and myself, as the only female with three brothers of my own and four brothers-in-law, all English, I am VERY familiar with the usual Brit expletives. For example if Mr H is doing a rare bit of DIY and hits his thumb with a hammer he is likely to shout Bollocks. Do you US guys use that term??? If he's having a moment of road rage and gets cut-up he's likely to either mutter (or yell) that someone is a  Dickhead, a Knob, a Plonker or a Wanker. (I'm making him sound like a foul mouthed, bad tempered guy, he's not, he's just an ordinary bloke and now I'm using him in this blog! Bless him!)

It isn't until I'm writing US characters (usually my hockey ones for the HOT ICE series) that I start using terms like son-of-a-bitch and mother-fucker. You just wouldn't hear them over here in the UK, and if you did it would be easy to assume someone had overdosed on US movies. 

I read a book a while ago were the word bloody was used to accentuate the dialogue of an English character. It is a common expletive over here, bloody hell being one of my very favourites when things go wrong. It gives a quick release of tension without really offending anyone - and believe me, sometimes I need that. But the word has to be placed just right otherwise it sounds off. Not sure why so I looked it up, this is what one site says... 

Bloody - One of the most useful swear words in English. Mostly used as an exclamation of surprise i.e. "bloody hell" or "bloody nora". Something may be "bloody marvellous" or "bloody awful". It is also used to emphasise almost anything, "you're bloody mad", "not bloody likely" and can also be used in the middle of other words to emphasise them. E.g. "Abso-bloody-lutely"! Americans should avoid saying "bloody" as they sound silly.

Another word I have to switch between is arse and ass. Again we say arse - an ass is a donkey - and to me the word asshole doesn't sound right 'without' the American twang. It's a similar situation to bloody I think, the English can't say asshole without sounding like, well an arsehole. And again, over here, it's use stretches into phrases like arse-over-tit, which means to fall over, arse-about-face means something is being done back to front, and arse-holed and rat-arsed which means very drunk.

Piss off is common here too as an alternative to fuck off, but I'm not sure how much you use it in the US. It gets used as Pissed up - if someone is drunk and Pissed off if you're fed up.

Anyone who has seen Notting Hill will remember the adorable bit where Hugh Grant says Whoops-a-daisy when trying to climb the railings and Julia Roberts can't stop laughing at him and he can't stop saying it. I LOVED that bit, it was so real, and it certainly is something that's said, particularly around kids or grannies.

My latest novel is SCORED a sexy soccer story about the English football team. That allowed me to flow naturally with the dialogue when it came to swearing because let's face it, these hot-headed footballer types do a lot of that when their testosterone gets flowing. I did stop short of using the word Goolies though, which means testicles 'he just kicked me in the goolies' being a favourite of young lads in the playground. Another one I refrained from using is John Thomas which is slang for cock, dick, willy, knob and todger. (Though if something is cocked-up it means it's gone wrong and is nothing to do with the male anatomy. Much like the dogs-bollocks which means something is great and nothing to do with dogs or bollocks!)

We have different expressions for having sex too - bonking, shagging, on the job, hanky-panky, slap and tickle, humping, a bit of nookie, screwing, wicked-way, rogering to name a few. Up the arse is of course known as buggering, though that word is used a lot as bugger off, or he's a bugger, meaning someone is a pest and nothing to do with anal sex.

Well on that happy note, and now that I have turned the air blue, I am going to leave you to have your say in the comment boxes. Tell me what your favourite UK and US curse words are and why, and of course any new ones for my US located stories will be greatly received :-)

I will pick a winner at random to win a copy of HIRED - the first in my Hot Ice series which is now available in print and ebook - don't forget to leave your email addy in the body of your comment.

Book one in the Hot Ice series.


One hundred grand to babysit bad boy Logan “Phoenix” Taylor on a paradise island—seriously, how bad could he be?

Frankly, it didn’t matter. Not when it would make my dreams of going to nursing school possible. I wasn’t even expected to talk to him, just hang out in a luxurious villa on a private beach and study. Simple, right?

But I hadn’t counted on Logan being so deliciously bad that he was oh so good. And when the temperature cranked to boiling point, he knew just how to satisfy the deepest, darkest part of my soul and give my body exactly what it needed. Amongst the sand and waves, we transported each other to an exquisite world of pleasure where only we existed, only we mattered.

But the heady mix of emotions and lust couldn’t keep things from spiraling out of control back in reality, where I had to keep the secret that I’d been hired to entertain him…even if it shattered my delicate heart. Even if it cost my destiny.


You can read an excerpt HERE and reviews are available on my website. HIRED also won the D Renee Bagby Award for Best First Chapter and Best Cover in Dec 2010. You can read the first chapter HERE :-)

Naughty Nights Press Blog Hop

Hello and welcome, I'm thrilled to be part of the Naughty Nights Blog Hop and huge congratulations on their first anniversary :-)

I am going to chat about my latest Ellora's Cave release which is Stockholm Surrender, a seriously steamy tale of kidnap and lust, forbidden love and a battle against the odds.

Since I am going through a very visual stage (check out my Pinterest boards which prove my obsession) I thought I would share a few pictures with you that inspired my novel. But first here is the blurb...

By popular reader request, the full-length story of what happens after Stockholm Seduction.


My soul was in turmoil. Ty Winters had not only kidnapped me in Oz, my heartstoppingly gorgeous surfer had also stoked my darkest desires, bringing all my fantasies to the surface. So Oxford wasn’t going well. Until, that is, he creeped from the shadows—desperate, sexy, dangerous and wanting a piece of me, literally!


He teased me with a taste of his carnal skills, leaving me burning with frustration then forced to stand by as he fought for his beliefs using my lust-addled body as his most powerful weapon.


Oh, my kidnapper knew just how to get what he wanted, giving me just what I needed, while hiding our relationship from the British foreign minister and police. Because sometimes two people are meant to be, even in the most unconventional circumstances and twisted situations. We could fight the world, but we couldn’t fight our passion.

* * * * *

Tell me which is your favourite image and I will pick someone at random and send them a copy of Stockholm Surrender on 2nd of July. Don't forget to leave your email addy in the body of the comment!

In the beginning...

Bangkok - a surprise in the restaurant!

Ropes and silk ties - something Ty is particularly fond of.

Cuffs - not of the fluffy pink variety.

Edinburgh, a safe haven.

Kind of how I imagine Ty to look - cocky, gorgeous, adrenaline-junkie.

How lucky can a girl get when two best mates are happy to share?

A good James likeness - before his ordeal...

...and after.

When dreams and reality blur!

Who can blame Penny for not being able to concentrate on her studies at Oxford?

Dragon tattoo - Ty

Sharing new experiences.

Not the best instrument for cutting hair.

Penny Tipping - British Foreign Minister's daughter.

Ty's biggest fear.

A wild storm has blown over and Logan and Brooke decide to head down to the waves for a bit of skinny-dipping... enjoy!

Logan looked outside. “Yeah, everything’s gone still.” He placed my foot on the cushions and stood. As he walked to the door I admired his butt—his boxer briefs clung tight to the outline of his cheeks and the two little dimples at the base of his back were perfectly symmetrical and deepened in turn as he walked.

“Yep, it all looks calm again,” he said. “A bit battered and blown, but the sea is gentle and the leaves are still.”

“Good,” I said, walking over and letting my fingers dip into the dimples I’d been admiring. “That means I can go for a swim.”

“You really want to after the sea anemone attack this morning?” He turned to me with a worried crease between his eyes.

“Sure, I can’t let that put me off.” I shrugged. “I adore swimming in the sea, especially in the evening, it’s so cleansing. I’ll just stay away from the rock pools.” I paused. “Want to join me?”

He licked his lips and his gaze dropped down my body. “On one condition.”

“What’s that?” I had a fairly good idea what he was about to say. The workings of Logan Taylor’s mind were becoming clear to me.

“We go skinny-dipping.” His gaze lifted to my eyes and his wide hand circled my waist and smoothed to the hollow of my back. “We take off our clothes and swim as bare as the day we were born.” He pressed a light kiss to my lips.

I raised my brows. “Don’t you think someone might see?”

“Not a chance, this is a private stretch of beach and I haven’t seen a boat since we got here.” He tucked a strand of hair behind my ear and embraced me with both arms. “Go on,” he whispered.

I slid my fingers from his smooth dimples to the elastic of his boxers, poked underneath and stroked the top of his butt—it was so hard with muscle, just like the rest of his body. “Okay,” I said, tugging at my bottom lip as a flutter of excitement tickled my stomach. I’d never been skinny-dipping before, I was always too busy worrying about covering up. It would be a new experience. “We’ll skinny-dip. But I’m not walking all the way down to the shore without a bra. It’s just not comfortable.”

Logan let go of me and opened the door. Warm sea air blew in. “Deal,” he said as he entwined his fingers with mine and tugged. “That probably gives you about thirty seconds of leeway then.”

We stepped over the decking and onto the beach. The sky held the last rays of the light in the west and in the east, dense navy had taken hold. The first stars had come out to play along with a creamy crescent moon.

“What star sign are you?” I asked as our feet halted just before the sea line.

“Aries.”

“Of course.” I nodded.
“What do you mean, of course?”

“I should have guessed, that’s all.”

“What, because I’m like a ram, put my head down and charge?” He let go of my hand, reached round my back and released my bra, letting it drop to the sand.

“It’s the most masculine sign, fiery, quick-tempered. Warriors are nearly always Aries,” I said. The breeze tickled over my nipples and cool air swept over my flesh. The night air on my skin was wonderful, liberating.

“Mmm, I guess that sounds like me.” He let his index fingers sweep under the heavy curves of my breasts. “I bet you’re the sexy lady, which one is that?” His fingers traveled to the waistband of my panties. “Virgo or something.” He stooped and pulled the slip of white material down my thighs and over my knees to my ankles.

I placed a hand on his hard shoulder as I stepped out of each leg. “Good guess.”

He stood up with a grin and kicked out of his boxers. His erection sprang forward from his dark pubic hair and the pale moonlight cast sharp angled shadows over his perfect chest and abs.

One glance at his heavy, hungry eyes roaming my body made me wonder if we would get into the sea. “Come on,” I said quickly, “let’s swim.”

I waded into the tepid water. Delicate waves captured my lower legs, inviting me deeper. The gentle twilight was hypnotic and I rejoiced at my nakedness with each tiny splash that hit me.

Logan suddenly sprang into action. With a burst of noise and energy he took six enormous strides past me, kicked up spray and dived into the crest of a wave. His arms flew out to the side in great arcs and his head and back curled forward. The wave claimed the lower half of his body as it rolled over itself in a froth of ghostly white and he disappeared into the darkness.

I laughed and then tensed as the wave rolled past me and teetered my balance. He surfaced, flicking water from his hair, and took several fast strokes deeper out to sea. “Come on,” he called, stopping and turning to the shore. “It’s lovely.”

As the sea hit my thighs I fell forward and let it claim me too. The water lifted the weight of my breasts and as I kicked, coolness seeped between my legs. I caught my breath, the feeling of being so at one with the planet was wonderful. I was part of the ocean, part of the sky, part of the universe, there was nothing between us.

“Hey, sexy Virgo,” Logan said, suddenly popping up behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. “Can you stand here?”

I put my feet down into soft sand and found the ebbing water at my waist. “Yes.” I curled my hands over his corded forearms and leaned back against his warm, strong body .

“Good,” he said as he placed a kiss on my temple. “’Cause I want to hold you, right here.”

I glanced back at the weak light pouring from our villa onto the beach. “Hey, what was that?” Something up the hill, to the right, had flashed from the undergrowth.

“What?”

“I thought I saw something, a flashlight perhaps.”

Logan raised his head and his shoulders shifted as he followed my line of sight. “I can’t see anything.”

“No, I can’t now either.” I frowned. “Perhaps it was a shooting star or something.”

“Mmm, or something.” He nuzzled into my neck again as his hands came up to palm the underside of my breasts. “You have the best...” He stroked his thumbs over my rigid nipples, already tight from the coolness of the water. “The best breasts I’ve ever had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with.” He slid his big hands up and cupped them entirely. “And they fit so well in my hands, perfect, it’s like they were made for each other, two halves coming together.”

I let out a sigh as the heat from his palms absorbed through my skin and settled between my legs. I leaned farther into him and his erection lodged tighter into the hollow of my back. “I’m glad you approve,” I said, tipping my head to the winking stars and letting the breeze lift my hair from my shoulders. Perhaps we were two halves and this crazy way of our paths crossing had been planned millions of years ago in the heavens.

“Sweetie, I more than approve. You’ve got me flying as high as those stars up there.”
“That’s your star,” I said, pointing. “The one with a hint of red.”

“It is?” He lifted his head.

“Yes, that’s Mars, the ruler of Aries.”
“Mars, as in the planet.”

“Yes, as in the planet, but Mars is also the Roman god of war, he’s confident and aggressive, full of ambition and energy.”

“I think you’re describing me perfectly,” Logan murmured, pressing a kiss to the pulse in my neck. “Especially when I’m hammering an opponent into submission.” His hands left my breasts and dipped below the water line tickling at my waist.

“He’s also very,” I whispered, “sexual...in an assertive, impulsive way.”

“I’m feeling very sexual now,” he mumbled onto my shoulder. “In an assertive, impulsive way.” He sneaked his right hand lower as his other arm held my body tighter to his. “Open your legs,” he whispered into my ear as he ruffled his fingertips through my pubic hair. “Let me touch you.”

I went to turn around, I wanted more. I wanted to touch him. I wanted him inside me, but he halted my movements effortlessly and with barely a splash. I huffed in frustration and a chuckle came up from his chest. “Easy, sweetie, I haven’t got a condom hidden in the waves, you know.” He pushed my feet apart with one of his and slipped his fingertips through the top folds of my pussy. “Let me give you pleasure as you look at the stars and the ocean laps against your delectable body.”
