Some seek love, some seek power. For Aphrodite, the two are permanently intertwined. And when the goddess of desire hungers for love, who among mortals could possibly resist her power?
Fire fighters Ashur, Kieran and Hugh are damaged men. A tragedy that took the life of their colleague has left them scarred, both physically and emotionally. Love and power are nothing to them but empty words. Hoping to reignite their mother’s passion for life and love, the erotes bring these mortal men to Aphrodite’s attention.
But with the blackness inside Ash, Kier and Hugh becoming ever deeper, will it take more than the power of a goddess to save them? And if she loses that battle, how will she rediscover the path to healing for her own emotionally damaged heart? Warning: this erotic romance novella contains ménage (MFM and MFMM) sexual scenes between the goddess of desire and three hot fire fighters. The story is suitable for Adult readers only !

When she’s not writing what her family and friends call “porn for chicks” and what she prefers to call “super-hot romance for intelligent readers”, she is working in the admin day job, running around after two teenage daughters and trying to find time for her lovely new husband of one year.
Jennifer is published with Red Sage and Breathless Press. Over the past 18 months she has also embarked on an indie journey with the publication of her GODS OF LOVE romance series featuring erotic Greek gods and modern-day mortals in need of sexual healing.
Her perfume filled his nostrils and a strange roar in his eardrums slowed his thinking until he couldn’t concentrate, couldn’t do anything except sip from her proffered well of moist sweet nectar when he leaned in to take the kiss. Her lips were both spicy and sweet at the same time. The taste was exotic and new, and it blended perfectly with the familiar whiskey-laced breath of his friend as Hugh joined them in a three-way kiss like none he had ever experienced before.
Time ceased to exist as he dipped into her mouth and supped. The ever-present vestiges of his anguish receded as hunger took its place. Desire. Craving. That was all he knew, especially when her moan vibrated across the back of his throat. First one, then the other of them plunged with a tongue here, nipped there with eager teeth. He sucked at the fullness of her bottom lip and felt in turn the delicate flicker of her tongue as she rasped it across his own.
Demanding, then asking. Dominating, then pleading. The dance went on and he couldn’t tell who was in control. Or out of it. He didn’t care. If she wanted to be in charge, that was okay by him. He would happily go wherever she led.
Her body was as soft as it had promised to be, and yet somehow hard and unyielding. Earlier she’d been wearing a white dress, but now she was naked between them. How was that possible? He groaned and heard an answering sound erupt out of Hugh before his friend leaned down to take one of her long pink nipples into his mouth. Blindly he reached out and grappled the other breast, weighing its enticing heaviness in his palm.
Slow this down. Catch our breath. (copyright Jennifer Lynne 2013)

One day can change your life forever…Three days change a painful past into a beautiful tomorrow…
Once, Sam Perry had it all. A loving marriage, an amazing job she adored as a preschool teacher, and a beautiful home. She was safe, happy and secure. Then the unthinkable happened… Watching his once carefree wife withdraw into herself was almost more than Brian Perry could handle. The only thing that kept him going was knowing that he loved her more than life itself. Moving her out of New York to Chandlerville, a small, quiet suburb of Atlanta, felt right. Anything, to get her away from the memories of the buildings, and her world, crashing around her.
Now, two sons and many years later, Sam cherishes the new life on Mimosa Lane that Brian built for them. Until lightning strikes twice… Called a hero by her small community, Sam feels more like a coward than ever. Instinct draws her into an altercation at her children’s school- an instinct that also drives her away from the warm cocoon of her family. Brian refuses to lose his wife again. He agrees to give her the space she asks for, but he soon realizes space isn’t something they and their children can afford. He knows their love can still conquer all. But this time he’ll need their entire community to help him win his wife back.

He’s dangerous, sexy, and everything she wants. And he’s about to make his claim…
Hayden, the dangerously sexy, tattooed ex-SEAL is one of the best friends Sierra has ever had—and the main star in her wildest fantasies. But he doesn’t see her that way. And she’d die of embarrassment if he found out she was still a virgin.

Border Patrol Agent Zoe Brooks is ready to get off the front lines. She’s willing to tolerate a swaggering partner like Taft for a new opportunity. But she’s not prepared for the way he understands her deepest, sexiest desires.
Blake grabbed her and shoved her to the side. Her feet twisted in the heels, and Jess hit the floor. In that same instant, Blake yanked out a gun. The man had been armed? When he’d been making out with her, he’d had a weapon? She sure hadn’t noticed it.
Blake returned fire. Forget firing back, they needed to get out of there!
On her hands and knees, Jess scuttled toward the control panel. She shoved chunks of glass out of her way.
Bam! Bam!
Her knees and hands weren’t the only things trembling then. Her whole body shook. But she just needed to go forward a few more inches… She lifted her fist and drove it into the control panel. Yes! She’d hit the button for the first floor. The doors slowly began to close.
Bam! Bam!
Blake was still firing. She heard footsteps racing toward them. If their attacker got close enough, if he was able to stop those doors from closing— Blake fired once more.
She heard a grunt. Her heart stopped. Did that sound mean that Blake had taken out whoever had been shooting at them? The doors slid closed, and Jess sucked in a deep breath.
TWO $100.00 Amazon gift cards will be given away at the end of the tour.

••••••••••••••••••••••••••
THE MASTER UNDONE is the fifth novella in Lisa Renee Jones Inside Out Novellas and told from the ‘Masters’ POV. This storyline is not a retelling of any particular part of the series thus far, but is a story about what happens next after (The Master) discovers what has happened to his sub Rebecca.
It has been 24 hours since ‘The Master’ discovered that his current sub was responsible for the disappearance of Rebecca-a woman who wanted more from ‘The Master’ then he was willing or ready to give. But his anguish over Rebecca will have to be tempered when a more urgent matter-one that involves his mother-may bring the strong, alpha male to his knees. With his personal life in turmoil, ‘The Master’ will discover a feisty, independent female, a woman whom his mother respects and trusts, in the guise of one Crystal Smith.
Crystal is a woman who is definitely not a submissive. She is an alpha female, with a take charge attitude and knows when to move on. She recognizes that this man is in a vulnerable position and she is more than willing to be his playmate for one night. But when ‘The Master’ awakens to an empty bed, he knows only one thing-he must find Crystal-now.
THE MASTER UNDONE is a short story where Lisa reveals a different side to ‘The Master’-a powerful man we have seen dominate and control-but a man who is just as susceptible to the foibles of the reality of life as any other human. He is man who realizes that he cannot save everyone, no matter what the cost to his heart or his wallet. Lisa pulls the reader into a different point of view but one that lays naked a man’s emotions, his deepest pain and the love of family. The Master Undone is a fascinating and eye opening welcome addition and change from the normal-a man’s POV in an erotic storyline

INTERVIEW with Kelsey Browning
Kelsey Browningwrites sass kickin’ love stories full of hot heroes, saucy heroines and spicy romance. Originally from a Texas town smaller than the ones she writes about, Kelsey has also lived in the Middle East and Los Angeles, proving she’s either adventurous or downright nuts. These days, she hangs out in northeast Georgia with Tech Guy, Smarty Boy, Bad Dog and Pharaoh, a Canine Companions for Independence puppy. She’s currently at work on the next book in herTexas Nightsseries andThe Granny Series. Give her a shout atKelsey@KelseyBrowning.comor drop bywww.KelseyBrowning.com. For info on her upcoming releases, subscribe to herSass Kickin’ News.
TRC: Hi Kelsey and welcome to The Reading Café. Congratulations on the release of PERSONAL ASSETS.
Kelsey: Thanks so much for having me!
TRC: We would like to start with some background information. Would you please tell us something about yourself?
Kelsey: Oh, that’s an open invitation for a girl from Texas who can talk your ear off. I’m a Virgo, have a psychological allergy to green peas and am raising a puppy for Canine Companions for Independence. (How’s that for brevity and sneaking in more than one thing??)
TRC: Your bio states that you have travelled all over the world. Which destination was your favorite ? Which destination was the least attractive or favorite? Why?
Kelsey: Wow – tough question. I tell people the most beautiful place I never knew I wanted to visit is Sri Lanka. The people are incredibly friendly and their country is gorgeous even after the tsunami in 2005. Last summer, we stayed at a guesthouse in Arugam Bay that had been almost wiped out in the storm and then rebuilt after.
Least favorite…probably Kuwait City. We were living in the Middle East at the time and Kuwait City was an even more even more stark landscape than the city where we lived. While in KC, we stayed in a hotel that had been completely bombed out in the first Gulf War. They had a glass case that held a huge shell casing, a melted telephone and other evidence of the bombing. Interesting, but eerie. Very eerie.
TRC: PERSONAL ASSETS is your latest release. Would you please tell us something about the book?
Kelsey: Personal Assets is a contemporary romance about a sex therapist who wants to shake things up around her small Texas town and a man who’s recently returned to his hometown to restore classic cars. Allie propositions Cameron to a no-strings affair, and he can’t believe the town’s princess would stoop to sleeping with the kid of the town drunk. But Allie is trying to find her inner bad girl, and in the process, finds love with a man who has to learn she doesn’t want him to take care of her.
TRC: How many books do you plan for the TEXAS NIGHTS series? Will any or all of the storyline characters interact with each successive novel?
Kelsey: There are four books in the Texas Nights series. I originally planned three, but a new heroine emerged from book two. Readers will be introduced to six of the main characters in Personal Assets. In Running the Red Light, readers will be introduced to Ashton Davenport and her hero. Of course, readers will see all the characters in each book, but the focus will be on the current hero and heroine. Readers can find out more about the other books in the Texas Nights series here.
TRC: What challenges or difficulties (e.g. logistical, research etc) did you encounter writing this particular storyline?
Kelsey: The biggest challenge I had at the time I first wrote Personal Assets (several years ago) was I was living out of the US in a Muslim country. If the country’s government considered a website too explicit, it would be blocked/censored from view. That sometimes made it hard to research sexual topics – LOL.
TRC: Are any of the characters or experiences based on events in real life? Or are they an amalgamation of many characters and your imagination?
Kelsey: Oh, I think our subconscious is always collecting and then developing characteristics based on what we’ve seen. We just don’t know it—and can’t always recognize it—on the surface. What I have found, however, is that my books have a common theme around reconciling yourself with home and homecoming. I’m originally from a small town in Texas and I have a real love/hate relationship with the place. I left for college when I was 18, and although I visited, I never lived there again. I think I’ve been trying to reconcile myself with my original home and my adult homes ever since.
TRC: If you could change something about yourself personal or professional, what would it be and why?
Kelsey: I’d wave a magic wand and give myself a big old helping of patience.
TRC: Who or what has been the biggest influence in your life and why?
Kelsey: Too many people to name, probably. But here are a few: My mom – everything happens for a reason My dad – you can do anything you want My husband – always find a reason to say yes My sister – we’re stronger than anyone can imagine
TRC: Is there a question that you would like to be asked in an interview, but nobody has asked? If so, ask away!
Kelsey: Yow – I used to ask this all the time when I interviewed people. It’s harder when it’s turned back on you. How about What did you love most about writing the Texas Nights series? Characters, characters, characters! I’m a totally character-driven writer. And shh…don’t tell anyone I said this, but secondary characters are often more fun to write than the hero and heroine because the author doesn’t have to be so darn careful with character arc and relationship arc. It’s easier to just let things fly with the secondaries!
TRC: What five things would you like to accomplish in the next ten years?
Kelsey: Write and publish another 25+ books Live overseas again See my son off into his own fabulous world Become a better storyteller Return to public speaking
TRC: What are your thoughts on book reviews-good or bad?
Kelsey: I think reviews allow authors to glean important tidbits about what readers love about their work. They can also discover what’s missing in their writing. But I think an author can’t take every word to heart. Not all books are made for all readers. I have to keep that in mind.
TRC: Many authors bounce ideas with family and friends, as well as other authors. With whom do you bounce ideas and information?
Kelsey: I have a plotting group—made up of authors Tracey Devlyn, Adrienne Giordano, and editor and all-around-girl-Friday, Theresa Stevens. I’d be lost without them. When I need technical help—like how to get out of a locked storage closet door—I go to my husband, who’s an engineer. He rocks at that kind of stuff.
TRC: If you could be a contestant on a television ‘reality’ program, which show would you like to be a participant and why?
Kelsey: Yikes, is there a reality show about drinking coffee and wearing PJ bottoms? If so, that’s the one I want. Don’t know that I could do it, but Tech Guy (my husband) and Smarty Boy (my son) have a yen to go on Survivor.
TRC: On what are you currently working?
Kelsey: I’m currently working on edits for Problems in Paradise—the third book in the Texas Nights series, writing Designs to Die For (#4) and working on the release of In For a Penny, a humorous women’s fiction/cozy suspense I co-wrote with the amazing Nancy Naigle. It’s the first book in The Granny Series and will be out in November. Here’s the tagline, just to give readers a taste of that series: They’re just like Dirty Harry—only over 50, female and from the South!
TRC: Would you like to add anything else?
Kelsey: I love to hear from readers, so feel free to shoot me a note atKelsey@KelseyBrowning.com!
LIGHTNING ROUND Favorite Food –Is Chardonnay a food? Favorite Dessert –Just one? Fine, tiramisu Favorite TV Show – Castle Last Movie You Saw –Despicable Me Dark or Milk Chocolate –Dark. Oh, who am I kidding?? BOTH!
TRC: Thank you Kelsey for taking the time to answer our questions. We wish you all the best with PERSONAL ASSETS.
