Unofficial Start to Summer



As a kid this is the weekend when summer always began. The beaches opened, if you had a pool that got opened too. Picnics started this weekend and my mom allowed me to wear shorts if the weather permitted. I don’t care that the calendar says another few weeks, for me this is the unofficial start to summer.
I want to celebrate by giving away a print copy of my book Ignite the Flames. 


Here’s what you’ll find inside the book:

 Splashing Good Time
Reece Collins craves a no-strings-attached, torrid sexual encounter. Problem? The only person offering is ten years her junior. Nathan Donovan has lusted for Reece forever. One brief encounter leaves him yearning for more, but when she splashes cold water on his plans, he has to choose between walking away or spanking some sense into her.

Ignited
Nikaya is celebrating her birthday with a new Mustang. As she races up the side of a mountain in her new car, a police officer comes out of nowhere. He pulls her over, spanks her then whisks her away to a secluded cabin. There, the officer—and a friend—have a few surprises for the birthday girl. Surprises that include whips, floggers, blindfolds and more.


Research Required
On the run from the mob, the last thing Ethan needs is a distraction like Bailey. She’s sexy and sassy—and he wants to take her where she stands. Of course, Bailey would never have sex with a stranger. Then again, Ethan is her best friend’s brother, so that makes him a friend too, right? And what’s a little sex between friends?

To be entered in the contest all you have to do is tell me about any fun plans you have for the summer.
The print contest is only open to US residents. If random.org picks a winner outside the US I can replace the print copy with an ebook.
The contest ends on Sunday May 27th at 11:59pm EST
Have a great weekend!

  1. Well, hubby and I start the official start to summer with our 24th anniversary next Tuesday. After that......we finish getting our 13 y/o daughter ready for her special trip to Italy, Sicily and Greece as a student Ambassador. After THAT, it's what ever the mood wants. ;)

  2. My family is leaving for Florida in two weeks! I can't wait. Sun, fun, and the beach!! I'm taking my boys to the Exotic Feline Rescue Center next week to see the big cats then we are volunteering at our local animal rescue shelter for the summer. I have a 10 year old who wants to be a vet. :) So, we have a pretty busy summer planned!

  3. Hopefully, yes hopefully, we will be moving! We should find out in a couple of weeks. Other than that, not much of anything really. We have a family reunion in July and school will start back up in August. UGH!

    1. This book sounds wonderful but my summer plans aren't this exciting. I will spend alot of time this summer painting Christmas presents for friends and relatives. I do Tri Chem painting. Last year I done 9 large tablecloths and many other smaller items. This summer looks filled also. I also like to say I run a small community library and have a promo table set up. If you care to send me some of your items I will gladly add them to the table. I think the table is very popular and almost everyone has to see what is out there to buy. sue Leech, 1273 Strahan rd., New Colubia, PA 17856 garysue@dejazzd.com

  6. This summer my sister is coming to Michigan from California for 10 days & bringing my 1 yr old niece, that I haven't gotten to hold yet. We've got multiple parties planned & I can't wait.

  7. Since I live in Upstate New York, my summer plans are pretty simple. I just have to open my patio doors, sit down in one of my chairs, and enjoy the mountain air. I used to live in NYC, so I moved here so it would always be a vacation.

  14. Hello Amber!
    First I feel I must let you know the direct link to your blog is not working in the email you sent :/

    Usually I would take a trip to Florida, either alone of with my hubby and kids. But it's not happening this year. So it will be just hiking, fishing and fresh waters beaches locally. Oh and plenty of reading (so glad I have an ereader!) Not too shabby. But would LOVE to get outta here :)
    Maybe next year!

    Thank you for the chance to win. The book sounds very exciting!! (They all do actually)

    Enjoy the weekend!

  17. I will be taking a week off to take my son to the zoo and the museums. It has become a yearly ritual for us to spend a week together every summer enjoying the sites.

    2. Hello Amber,

      Hubby & I are going to enjoy our new Sunroom we had built during the winter. It overlooks our inground pool & also connects with French Doors into our TV/Entertainment Room....so we will enjoy vacationing in our own backyard with those delicious slushy drinks & our 3 Lil' Miniature Pinschers, which are our spoiled Babies :)

      I would very much appreciate the opportunity to be considered in your very generous giveaway of a print or eBook copy of "Ignite the Flames", which LQQks like an excellent Read & has one HOT Cover Art!

      Take Care, Have a Wonderful Weekend & Stay Naughty ;)

  18. Wow...that's quite a deal! Great stories all in one cover!

    As for my summer plans. :-) Stay inside and keep cool. I'm REALLLLY not a summer person!

  19. The only plans we have for summer is finishing up a few projects around the house (actually I point and hubby finishes because he is the handy man:) Other than that I'd love to be able to catch up on my TBR titles and finish the two books I'm working on.

    I'd love to be able to drag him away for a few day trips but I'm not holding my breath, lol!

  20. I'm planning a family get together with a cook out and outside games. Croquet and corn hole. It's always the best time when family gets together and just relax and have a good time.

  24. The thing I'm looking forward to the most is doing a little "research" in the observatory. And no, I won't write about it. :)

  25. Along with the usual summer stuff, this July we are planning a huge party for my hubby's 60th birthday. It will be the first time all of our children and grandchildren will be in one place! It will be quite an accomplishment. I am also hoping to get up and moving about some more this summer. I was really sick this winter and I'm so out of shape I am embarrassed.
