eXtasy Advent Calendar, Day 6 with @ellen__cross

Thank you Beany for allowing me to come play during your blog hop *looks at all the shiny things*.

As some of you know, I come from down under in Australia, living in a small beachside town in north-eastern NSW. Our Christmases have always been blistering hot, and since I was a small child, the holiday season signalled the yearly trek to the beach for a caravanning holiday.

Now that I am grown and have a family of my own, those trips are long in the past, but as we live at the beach, we still spend a great majority of our time cooling off any way we can. And who can blame me, check out this view!!

 

Now, you may think to yourself, "How awesome is that?" well, in my household at least, the Christmas holiday season is the time to stock up on band-aids, panadol, antiseptic lotion, sunscreen, and insect repellant. That's right....the holidays mean arming myself until my bathroom cabinet almost looks like a pharmacy and I carry a first aid kit with me everywhere. And for good reason. With five boys, each holiday season see's at least one person in my family ending up at the E.R needing stitches, x-rays, or so sunburnt they make a lobster look pale. So, while you enjoy your festive season making snowmen, rugging up and carrying a never-ending  supply of tissues for those endlessly dripping noses, think of us Aussie mums who are making great impersonations of boy scouts with out motto, be prepared for anything!

 

This next pic looks so innocent and cute, right? My youngest needed six stitches to his thigh from a sharp edge on this seaside rock pool the year before last.

And this lovely mysterious allergic reaction happened the last holidays. Those spotches spread all over his chest and back, too. lol.

 

 

For my giveaway, I am offering the choice of two books.

Holly's Healing is a MFM contemporary romance, while Cole in his Stocking is a MM paranormal romance.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

To go into the draw for one of these Christmas stories, simply let me know what war stories you have of holiday's past, to go into the draw. One lucky commentator will be randomly picked.  Best of luck everyone, and a safe and enjoyable festive season to you all!!

 

Today's word to collect is:

How does Dean feel about "that" kiss? #HDH with @ellen__cross

Welcome to another lifesaving edition of Hump Day Hook--the weekly blog that offers up a small teaser from the amazingly talented, participating authors for you to enjoy!

 

Don't forget to click the HDH banner to keep your mid-week relief going!

 

 

This week I will continue with Dean's first kiss--and other first bodily reactions--in Holly's Healing.

This scene is from Deans POV.

 

 

 

Wade was at her side, nuzzling and kissing her neck in nibbling bites. The sight stirred his belly further, a throbbing beat building within his gut low down. He could feel it—his cock was throbbing and starting to stir. The knowledge was enough to send Dean backward, landing on the polished timber flooring on his ass.
“Just a kiss…you said this was just a kiss!”
Holly opened her eyes, her heavy-lidded gaze drawing him in, the urge to gather her in his arms rising more urgently.
“It is. Wade just wanted a kiss too. Nothing more will happen today, or anytime soon. This is all up to you. I won’t push you into something you don’t want.”

This week I am sharing another snippet from Holly's Healing.

In this scene, Dean is confronting Wade, over Holly.

 

 

What’s this thing you have going with Holly—do you want her to yourself? Am I in the way?"
Wade threw his head back, holding an arm across his stomach as peals of laughter filled the room. Wiping the back of a hand across his face, Wade shook his head. "Where on earth did you get an idea like that from? Sure I want her, all naked, wet, and moaning beneath me. But not without you. I know you want her too, Dean, so don’t even try and start that shit with me. She’s perfect for us, can’t you see that?" 

 

 

Hump Day Hook teaser with Holly's Healing and ellen__cross #HDH

Welcome to another weekly Hump Day Hook!

 

Each week, many talented authors share little teasing snippets from one of their pieces, whether a published book, or a WIP.

When you are finished with my teaser, why not click here and experience more of what is on offer!

 

This week, I am sharing a little from my interracial holiday menage, Holly's Healing.

In this scene, Holly has been rescued by Wade and Dean from an attack, and has just realised they are obviously not biological brothers.
 

 

Dean looked back at her, chuckling at her expression. He leant over and closed her mouth with the tip of one finger. "What’s the matter, Holly? Was it that I told you we’re brothers? You don’t have a problem with racial blending do you? Wade’s folks adopted me after I was taken from my dad when I was fourteen."

A problem? Is he kidding? This is like all my fantasies rolled into one!

Like coffee and cream, these men set her mouth watering at the very sight, and she never could resist a generous dash of cream in her coffee. One light, the other richly dark. The perfect combination.
