NOTE from author: Thank you for hosting ‘Candle Magic’ on your blog today. Thank you so much to all my readers. I write from my heart so you have a piece of it. Happy Holidays. About the book: I got the idea for this story very late at night as I shivered in a sudden downpour of rain on my way home from work. It was still summer at the time and although late, the sky was still quite light. That happens in Britain where I live and often dawn comes in at around 3.30 a.m. How do I know this? I’m often still up writing or playing around with graphics for book covers. I’m lucky because my day job is in shifts so often I can grab a few hours’ sleep and still get to work on time. Here’s the blurb: When Simi finds a pretty old candlestick among the discarded props in the company storeroom, she never imagines it will grant her dearest wish. There’s something mysterious about the carved candlestick, but Simi is drawn to it. She’s saved a red candle from a box she bought years ago in an antique shop, and intends to use the candlestick to hold the last candle and make her solitary Christmas lunch more festive. It’s Christmas Eve, there’s sleet in the wind, Simi slips, but Jason catches her. Who is Jason? Where has he suddenly appeared from in the night? Simi looks into the eyes of this gorgeous man and sparks fly … Erotic fantasy romance from Siren Publishing and Elodie Parkes 18+ teaser The mist parted. The sight of a man walking toward her captured her in a spell. Simi stared at him, unable to move. He flowed slowly toward her, and then he was there in front of her, extending his arms to hold her. His cornflower blue eyes, fringed with dark lashes, filled with emotion. He smiled at Simi and she registered how handsome he was, how completely gorgeous he was, before magically she was in his arms. He held her close. Gratitude surged through her. Her heart opened to soak up the love he gave her. His face close, Simi yearned for his lips on hers, and then—he kissed her. It charged her whole body with such a surge of raw sexual energy her pussy drenched her inner thighs. She drifted in a heavy fog of his kiss-induced lust. The softness of his lips changed from a gentle, loving merging to a hungry searching as her tongue met his. Naked in his arms, Simi pressed against his hard body, her clothes strangely gone. Yet she accepted that as ordinary when his hands swept over her skin and grabbed her ass to lift her against his body. Her stomach contacted the hard column of his erect cock, and she sighed into his mouth.

Moss Evelyn allowed him to lay her down on the hay and didn’t protest when he lifted her top. Enraptured by the heady sensations of his kisses on her bare skin, she lost track of the world around her. Before she knew it, her clothes were off and discarded. She lay naked and submitted to his apprising contemplation. His gaze, smoldering with sexual hunger, followed the path his hands made down her shoulders to her breasts. Warm palms massaged her mounds, then moved on, exploring her body, caressing her down to her toes. Waves of desire rolled through her. Quinn’s lips trailed over her body, tracing the course his hands had. His kisses began with each foot, then coursed up her skin, sweetly kissing her navel before traveling up. When he reached her breasts again, he outlined each rosy peak with the tip of his tongue. Gasping in sweet pleasure, she arched her back, inviting him to take her fully. He understood the willing invitation and suckled on one nipple, then the other as his hands resumed their discovery of her body and slipped between her legs. His touches sent shivers of delight through her that ebbed and flamed with each of his movements. Evelyn, never feeling such pure and explosive pleasure before, reveled in the euphoria coursing through her. She yearned for more and shifted so he could access her easier. He stopped, breathing in heavy pants. “My sweet, innocent Evelyn, I have waited so long for this, but I shall stop if you want me to.” “What do you mean, stop?” her sultry voice questioned. Quinn lay on top of her and kissed her. His body fit hers perfectly, and his cock pushed at her through his pants. That’s when she understood. An aching need she never felt before brewed within her. Returning his kiss with just as much force, she put her hands between their bodies. “Evelyn?” Quinn propped himself up on his elbows. She didn’t respond. Her desires had taken over. She worked quickly to remove his shirt, exposing his hairless, smooth and soft chest and abdomen. He quivered when her fingers traced his muscles. She leaned up and gave his pectoral a quick kiss. “Evelyn, does this mean…?” “Yes.” She pulled him down to her, taking his mouth with demanding command. She sensed the thrill of his arousal once he removed his pants. Their bodies entwined, skin to skin, woman to man. She needed more. Author Bio: An eccentric and eclectic writer, C.R.

In a flash of motion, he growled and stood before her, pulling her close till her body lay flush against his hard contour. On contact, the temperature of the air around them rose. His lips descended on hers for the second time that night. This time, the sensations were not a blur. She felt him in every pore of her body, soaking in his aura, her body and mind overwhelmed by exciting sensations. The familiarity and recognition returned, along with the desire to have him inside her, filling her up. Memories of the two of them together flooded her mind. Connected, she sensed more than his memories. His emotions wrapped around her mind like a swirling thread, connecting light, desire, and elation. Yet, in the depth of his mind, darkness, rage, and remorse lurked. Her arousal increased. She clung to his muscular arms, her hardened nipples rubbing against his chest. Despite the clothes between them, it felt as if skin stroked skin. Her core pulsed. His hand cupped her behind, pulling her in to feel his rigidity between her thighs. Feverish sensation coursed through her body, swamping every pore. She writhed in his arms, her body undulating uncontrollably. He broke the kiss, focused attention on her neck and sucked her skin. "Oh!" Colors exploded around her, the orgasm ripped out of her body violently, blowing her mind. He pulled away, leaving her panting as the energy arc surrounding them subsided. "You…you've got to stop doing that," she said as soon as she could catch her breath, wondering how she could respond so instantly and explosively to this man she didn't know. "It's the only way I can get you to see the truth about us. What we've always been. What we can become again."

He’s in Las Vegas, newly single and just off his most recent tour of duty. In Vegas he has met up with his old friend Nicola Goodheart, a scientist and inventor who studies portals, other worlds, and strange beings. Jake has also met and become enamored with Alexander, a gorgeous man with violet eyes. Jake goes with Nic on a portal finding mission, and they all end up in Alexander’s alien world. Recruiter Alexander Bloodworth is interested in Jake for himself and in Nicola for placement in a pleasure house on his home planet of Aurath. When he hears word one of his people’s enemies are after Nicola and Jake, he goes to save them both, even at the peril of losing his job. Will they risk their hopes and dreams—Alexander and Jake for a chance at love and Nicola for her career—or will they falter and lose everything anyway? Be Warned: m/m sex PG Excerpt Just because he disliked a situation didn’t mean his temper could be unleashed on a whim. Other people really didn’t need to know his business. Still, it’d be nice to release some pent-up energy. He mentally shook his head. No. I really shouldn’t create a scene. Plus, if he went over there to say or do something, he’d be a hypocrite. He’d had a few rebound flings himself and had moved on. All his mental blustering was just a knee-jerk reaction. “You would be correct,” a smooth, deep voice stated near him. Startled out of his thoughts about giving the men across the way some black eyes, Jake turned to the man sitting beside him. He stared into a pair of beautiful deep violet eyes. “So mesmerizing.” The handsome man dressed in a tailor made black suit, black dress shirt and white silk tie matching his hat chuckled. Jake blinked. “I mean excuse me? Right about what?” “Whatever it was you were thinking about and made a decision on.” The man looked at Jake’s drink. “Let me pay for the next round.” The man hailed the bartender. “Two more of what he was having.” He pulled out a hundred dollar coin from the pouch hidden within his jacket and placed it on the bar. “It is—how you say in your language? On my dime, sugar?” Good looking and suave. Jake couldn’t place the stranger’s slight accent, but thought it added to his charm. Who was this man who pulled out C chinks, who had the intriguing eyes, and almost tanned skin as if he’d literally been lightly kissed by the sun? Judging from how the stranger towered over him while sitting on the stool, he estimated the man to be six five to seven feet tall. Built, too, if the width of his shoulders happens to be any indication. The man turned back to him. He put his fingers to the brim of his hat covering a head of long platinum blond hair for a brief moment. The band around the head covering was the same dark color as his unique eyes. “My name is Alexander.” “Jake. Thanks for the drink.” He stuck out his hand. “Your accent is interesting. Where are you from?” Alexander shook his hand. A gush of sexual hunger washed through Jake. The sensation surprised him. The feeling hadn’t been this strong when he’d met Shawn. What kind of robust pheromones radiated from Alexander to make the instant attraction hit so hard? “I’m from all over. I must say it is nice to sit and talk with someone.” Alexander released his hand and propped his forearm on the edge of the bar. “Especially after the couple of days I have had. So your decision, think you will be able to stick to it?” “Decision?” Jake cocked his head, thinking back to what might have been on his mind. His gaze traveled across the bar area to where his ex and the bear sat. Oh, right. Shawn. “Yeah, I’ll stick with it.” Especially if you keep me company, Gorgeous.

Add to Goodreads Blurb Will one kiss seal their love? Accepting Loganâs marriage proposal was the most exciting event of Lornaâs life. But deciding in what country to marry her fiancé proved to be more than a tearful ordeal. When Lornaâs dad announced unexpected news, the wedding wheels spun in a different direction. With other family members stirring conflict, would there be a wedding? Or would their shared kiss deepen their desire? Sliding away from both men, Lorna stormed out of the house through the kitchen door, avoiding her auntie's apologetic stare. "Leave me alone!" she rapped before the door slammed shut. Logan was hot on her heels, yanking the door open. He followed her through the garden to the patio area by the fence. There were two metal seats and a round metal table. Lorna circled one chair, clenched her fists, her breathing shallow. "Listen to me, Lorna," Logan insisted. His voice challenged her defiance. She did not know what to make of Loganâs stance. Swirling on her heels, she faced him. "No! You listen to me. This has nothing to do with you. Let my dad stew in his wicked ways. I don't want anything to do with him. Heâs a cruel man and I want him to stay away from me." "He has acknowledged he messed up big time and he has apologized. Give him a chance, Lorna." One hand gestured in the air as she said, "Yes, I understand. A two minute apology is sufficient to wipe away three long years of hurt and abandonment in your book? Look Logan, I know you want peace with your future father-in-law but please don't put me under any pressure," she chided. Feeling deflated, she dropped into the seat. "Forgiving him will set you free sweetheart. Can't you see that? At the moment, when youâre within an inch of him, you tense up and you become a different personâangry and bitter--but, if you let go of the hurt, his presence or absence wouldn't control you." His words rang true and wise but her father deserved to suffer. "I don't want to discuss this, Logan," she protested. He reached forward and hauled her by her wrist. "What are you doing, Logan?" He swallowed her query with his brutal lips. "Keep quiet, Lorna. I don't want to hear anything you have to say," he muttered, biting and stroking her lips with his heated tongue.
