I don’t know about anyone else out there, but once I started fantasizing about guys, sex and all that, I always imagined there being more than one stud around to make me happy.
It wasn’t that I’d read ménages during my teen years. The raciest I got in high school was Wicked Loving Lies by Rosemary Rogers. Whew. Blew my mind. Then I started to read Kathleen Woodiwiss (absolutely adored Shanna). While very sexy, these stories were tame by the standards of The Story of O, which I was introduced to by my BFF in college.
I wasn’t (and am not) into the punishment for pain scene as shown in O; however, the thought of two or more guys pleasuring me while other guys watched definitely had my blood humming. My fantasies got wilder and wilder.
You’d think I would have started writing ménages from there on out. Unfortunately, I kept hitting a wall about the thought of a woman being able to love two guys at the same time. It wasn’t until SiNN, my last release with Ellora’s Cave, that I got over that hurdle. And thus my career writing ménages was born. J
My second contemporary ménage, Sinfully Wicked, has just released from Ellora’s Cave. It’s even hotter than SiNN.
Here’s the blurb.
Two brothers—one woman—unforgettable passion…
Years before Nikki fell in love with Mitch and Connor, betraying them as only a high school girl could. Now, she’s back and needs their help.
Powerful and commanding, Mitch has never stopped craving Nikki. Connor hungers for her as badly, but isn’t ready to forgive. If she needs some fast cash by working at their gentlemen’s club, she’ll have to audition by stripping for them.
Aroused by their shameless scrutiny, Nikki’s willing to do whatever it takes to be near them again…even being punished in the BDSM room or starring in one of Connor’s erotic films. Mitch won’t have it, unless he and Connor are the ones mounting and enjoying her.
On a sultry weekend, Nikki surrenders to their lust, dominance and exquisite discipline, reawakening their timeless bond and the beginning of forgiveness.

Morning, Ann - thanks so much for hosting me today!!
ReplyDeleteLove a well-written menage! Congrats Tina! many many sales to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Liz!!
DeleteHi, Tina! I've never read Woodiwiss; I think I recall reading one of Ms. Rogers's titles MANY years ago, and yes, it was eye-openingly racy (but I bet tame in comparison to some that grace my shelves these days ;p)); and I still haven't read The Story of O... Happy to read your books however, and enjoying that you've started writing some menage stories--a different kind of hot fantasy!
ReplyDeleteHey, flchen1 - oh you have to try Woodiwiss - especially Shanna - it is sooooo good!! The Story of O is still the raciest I've ever read. My eyes bugged out. :)
DeleteI will be downloading Sinfully Wicked onto my NOOK very soon.

Hi Tina, I didn't read romance until I was in my late 20's, and I too started out reading Rosemary Roger's books introduced to me by a friend. Now some twenty years later I still read romance of all kinds. Your books sound delicious. Congrats on the new release.
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your latest release. I have been wanting to read Sinn and now I need to get this title too!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to read both books.

Tina, I remember Wicked Loving Lies by Rosemary Rogers. I kept all those books. I also read some of Kathleen Woodiwiss. Oh yeah very tame by todays standards. But at the time I thought they were very racy.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read one of your books.
