Saffron Nights

by Liz Everly

 

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

BLURB:

 

Wherever they travel, there’s an aphrodisiac waiting to whet their appetites…

 

Brazil…Hawaii…India….As a food writer, Maeve has just been handed the hottest opportunity of her career. She’s being sent on an international research tour for an aphrodisiac cookbook. The downside is that she has to travel with rock star photographer and womanizer Jackson Dodds. And the upside is that she has to travel with Jackson Dodds. Because once they meet, Maeve understands why he’s been named “America’s Most Eligible Bachelor”—and despite her best intentions, all she can think about is putting their arousing recipes to the test…

 

Sexy and talented, Jackson can have any woman he desires. But lately, the thrill is gone—until he lays eyes on Maeve, who exudes sensuality like no one else. She’s determined to keep things professional, but he knows the attraction is mutual. And as they travel the world, sampling warming saffron, juicy papaya, silky avocado, rare herbs and teas—and a mushroom whose very aroma sends women to heights of ecstasy—both discover a hunger they’ve never known, and don’t want to resist, even amid unexpected danger…

Excerpt

 

“Hard to imagine these ugly little truffles are so delicious,” she said to Jackson, as they walked toward the villa.

 

“Better than the jellyfish?”

 

“Ah, no, I don’t think so. I was surprised I like them,” she said. Mr. Mei Lei had carefully prepared jellyfish for her dinner on her last evening in Hong Kong. They weren’t fishy at all and she loved the golden-ink color of the gel and the way it felt, so smooth, on her tongue, all the way down into her throat.

 

“I’m surprised you remember how much I liked the jellyfish,” she said.

 

“Why?” he said, tilting his head just so and she imagined tilting her head the other way, just so.  Lips on lips.  Tongues twirling. The memories of their kiss tugged at her.

 

“I just didn’t think you were paying attention,” she said.

 

“You’d be surprised what I see when it looks like I’m not paying attention,” he said, moving closer to her. She could see, now, the faint pink tint around his nose and lips from the cold. He grinned. Don’t do that, don’t look at me like that while I’m trying to work. Don’t look at me as if you know exactly what I’m thinking, as if you know exactly what to do with all these body parts standing at attention, tingling.

 

She looked away at the resting dogs.

A New Site to List Book Bloggers

By Barb Drozdowich 31 Comments

Welcome all!

Babs Hightower (BabsBookBistro) and I have created a new list of Book Bloggers. We work on a daily basis with authors, trying to teach them how to market their books and how to approach book bloggers. What we found, is that most of the lists that exist are badly out of date or difficult to navigate (I hope I’m not stepping on any toes here).

 

We hope we aren’t re-inventing the wheel, but we are trying to create a comprehensive list of Book Bloggers that is searchable by genre and is kept up to date. Please drop by and fill in our form to be registered on our site.

The link is http://bookbloggerlist.com

Book Bloggers Survey & Giveaway

By Barb Drozdowich

Welcome to Sugarbeat’s Books!

Thanks for dropping by today!

  I recently got into a conversation about book blogging with a fellow blogger.  I realized that although I’ve been blogging for a while now, I don’t spend enough time getting to know my fellow book bloggers.

Most book bloggers, from my experience, start a blog because of their love of books.  We may differ in the genre of books we read, but we all love books.

I’ve decided to write a paper on book blogging.  For those of you who don’t know, I’m of a scientific background and LOVE doing research.  I’m hoping to get as many book bloggers as possible to fill out this survey.  I’m currently following about 800 on twitter, so I know that there are lots of us out there!

I want to offer giveaway prizes for filling out this survey and I want the prizes to be worthwhile.

I’ve thought long and hard about this.  At one point I thought I’d offer up a Kindle as a prize.  That creates problems with the bloggers that live overseas I understand – also the shipping is outrageous!  I thought about books or Amazon/BN gift cards.  Many of us have more books that we can ever read….and they keep coming 🙂

So….what I’ve decided is that the giveaway prizes will be cash.  If you want to put the cash towards the purchase of an e-reader or books, that’s fine.  If you just want to pay off a bill, that’s fine as well.  I’m hoping that this provides flexibility for everyone!

Prize #1 – $50.00

Prize #2 – $40.00

Prize #3 – $30.00

Prize #4 – $20.00

So…the survey is going to stay in place until after the Book Bloggers and Publisher’s Conference which takes place in March.  I hope you can all attend!! Once I take it down, I’ll announce the winners on this blog.

Thanks for filling out the survey and good luck on the giveaway!
