Title of Book ~ Twin Flames: Soul Bound by Alix Richards
Genre: Short Erotic
Blurb:
In an effort to escape the reality that steps from the deepest recesses of her mind, Joy runs away for a long weekend alone in a friend’s cabin. She hopes to use the time to gain a logical perspective on an impossible situation.
Joy lives in her dreams, but no longer lives there alone.
Jairo needs Joy to be happy, even if it comes at his expense. Forced to remain patient, he walks away from the woman of his heart and soul. He confines himself to his family’s cabin to give Joy the time alone she requests.
Dreaming with Joy isn’t new, but waking with her physically in his arms, sexy and wet kicks Jairo’s desire for her into a new stratosphere.
Confusing dreams and unexplainable reality drops them into attack mode, neither quite ready for what destiny pushes their way. As nature and destiny collide for both, Joy and Jairo, nothing will be the same.
The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
“As Jair (Jay) isn’t a fan of the holidays I’ll make him his favorite, Buttermilk Pancakes. And the two of us will cuddle up in front of the fireplace and ignore the doorbell. His ‘gift’ I’ll wrap in a big red ribbon with a huge bow, his favorite color is red. He enjoys the unwrapping and I love watching him unwrap m…err…I mean them.” Joy blushes.
“Since Joy loves the season I’ll take her out to look at all the lights and decorations on Christmas Eve. Then when we return home, I’ll give her the gift I searched months to find. Just so I see her face light up and from there…well, use your imagination.” Jairo smirks.

Title of Book ~ Angela’s Coven by Bruce Jenvey
Genre: Paranormal Fantasy/Urban Fantasy
Click Cover to Find out More about Angela's Coven
The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
We are talking here about two very different people from two very different worlds. Reggie Sinclair is an aging British rock star who has lived in a New York City penthouse for quite some years. Angela Bradbury is a modern-day Witch practicing Olde World Witchcraft in her small shop in Greenwich Village.
Being more homespun, Angela would brew something on the back burner of her kitchen stoves that would smell of pine and Yule Logs and conjure fond childhood memories in Reggie. She would pour this into a votive candle and let it scent the centerpiece during a quiet dinner for two in the apartment above her shop.
Reggie, being more flamboyant and the showman, would hire a Hansom Cab to pick her up all the way down in Greenwich Village and then take them on a ride around and through Central Park, past all the holiday lights. He most certainly would bring his favorite acoustic guitar along and softly pick Olde English carols for her as they rode along under the lights before taking her back to his penthouse balcony overlooking Central Park West.

Title of Book ~ Another Way To Die by Amy McCorkle
Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense
Click Cover to Find out More about Another Way to Die
The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
Christmas is special around here. I mean there’s Aaron, but for me it’s all about making Almira happy. She does so much for me and she’s been through so much I just want her to know that I’m here for her no matter what. We usually go away for the weekend up to a cabin in the Cumberland Gap area and it’s just the two of us. I have Luke and Aaron put up a tree and Martha Stewart the place up and get the gifts placed under the tree. Then it’s just me, her, a fire, and eggnog for Christmas Eve. Christmas Day is for the family but the night before we get to be a little naughty and it’s nice to know we don’t have to worry about our pasts anymore and concentrate on building our future.—
Daniel Logan from Another Way To Die

Title of Book ~ Lust: James at the Sundowner by Kristin Battestella

Genre: Dark Fiction
Click Cover to Find out More about Lust: James at the Sundowner
The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
This is Victoria Welshire, butting in on this holiday hullabaloo! So, you are pestering my twin brother James because of some book the Professor put out about him called Lust? My book came first and is called Debauchery, suck on that! Really, you want a 700 year old sexy brooding, long and dark haired, one woman vampire man- not boy, pfft!- to do something romantic for his deadly feline lady and have it be PG-13? Get real chicas! No real vampire of yore would be romantic, much less be kid friendly about it!
Now, bloody egg n grog, anyone?

Title of Book ~ Painted Jezebel by Jolie Pethtel
Genre: Romantic Comedy/Mystery
Click Cover to Find out More about Painted Jezebel
The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
Jezebel: What is my idea of a romantic Christmas? Snuggling up by the fireplace on a cold winter’s morning… *stares dreamily skyward*
Finn: What would you be wearing on this cold winter’s morn? *wags his eyebrows suggestively*
Jezebel: He’s such a pervert. Just ignore him. I do. *Rolls eyes*
Finn: You know you love me.
Jezebel: You are here in the capacity of my publicist, not my fiancé. *stares daggers at Finn*
Interviewer: May I ask why your…publicist is dressed like Santa Clause? *frowns*
Jezebel: Off the record?
Interviewer: Of course. *looks disappointed*
Jezebel: He has a costume fetish. *shrugs* I try to be understanding, but I refuse to sit on his lap in a skimpy elf costume and tell him what I want for Christmas. Especially since I strongly suspect the elf costume is what I’m getting for Christmas. *crosses arms over chest and glares*
Finn: Have a little faith. ‘Tis the season for miracles. Reach into my pocket. *grins mischievously*
Jezebel: Now is not the time for this. *hisses*
Interviewer: I think I should go. If I need anything else, I’ll…give you a call. *squirms uncomfortably*
Finn: Trust me. *looks deep into Jezebel’s eyes*
Jezebel: Fine *reaches into fur trimmed coat pocket, withdraws two tickets to Ireland*
Jezebel: What is this?
Finn: I want you to meet my family, but first I want something else from you. *Rises to feet, presses play on the CD player and stripper music ensues. Begins a sexy dance, during which time the interviewer shakes her head in amazement and slips out the door.*
Jezebel: Look what you’ve done now you’ve scared the interviewer away. *fights unsuccessfully to hold back a giggle as he gyrates toward her, undoing buttons on his Santa suit*
Finn: The local paper is over-due for a scandalous expose that has nothing to do with cheating on bingo night, now pay attention. This is my big finish. *Pulls pillow out of his suit and whips it around overhead then throws it to Jezebel*
Jezebel: *laughs then gasps, as she catches the satin pillow, then sees the gorgeous diamond and emerald engagement ring attached*
Finn: Ta da! *slips Santa coat off bare shoulders as music ends and across his chest in mini sticky notes is written ‘Will you marry me?’ in green and red marker*

The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
My name is Beck Cavington and growing up in Northeringale where Christmas Miracles are the norm, I have a strong belief in Christmas, in spite of my mom, Irene Cavington’s persistent attempts to marry me off to a parade of losers.
I was content to be single, basking in the radiance of my best friend Angie’s happiness with Cam Drayton, but then Hank Childress walked into my confectionary store and suddenly I am thinking things I never thought me capable of.
Hank is a minister, and like 99% of the population I believed ministers were far too…pious to think about mistletoe and egg-noggin <wink*wink*). Boy was I wrong. Hank in a Santa hat…Oh please be still my Wassailing heart!

Title of Book ~ One Plus One by Kay Dee Royal
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Blurb: One Plus One Blurb: Releasing from Muse It Hot on December 23, 2011
Coerced by her friend, Lacinda, a woman crushed by love, winds up on a three-week singles cruise.
Blade, a man of means, discovers Miss Right under the guise of a singles cruise set up by his business partner.
Once Blade focuses his efforts he always gets what he’s after, until Lacinda throws his arrogant reputation back in his face.
Can Blade break through Lacinda’s angry barriers? Will she ever see him as anything more than a player?
No Page yet for One Plus One
The Romantic Christmas Write Up:
Lacinda lay soaking up the sun on Blade’s remote tropical island, only thoughts of relaxation lap at her mind. A gentle warm touch on her shoulder causes a melting stir within and she opens her eyes.
“Didn’t you tell me you’d be tied to your office all day?” She sits up, clasping the back of her bikini top.
“That’s just it, I’m tied to something today, and I finally realized it isn’t my office.” Blade snuggles against her on the lounge chair, wrapping an arm around her waist. “All I keep thinking about is Christmas. Its two days away and I have nothing for you.”
“Let’s not go into this again.” Lacinda stands and stretches. She kneels down in front of Blade and notices how much he truly looks like a blond Hugh Jackman. Their gazes meet and his softens into hers. “Why can’t you believe me when I say, ‘you are my Christmas present’? What would you want from me for Christmas?”
Blades brows wiggle up and down and a crazy grin steals his smile.
“Okay…so we’ll both be tied up for Christmas.” Lacinda laughs. “Can we stay here for the holidays?”
Blade’s expression sobers and he pulls her into his lap. “Fortune sure shined on me when you filled out that crazy contest entry for the One Plus One cruise. You’re such an unassuming wonder, Lacinda.”
“Oh, I assume, Blade. Like, I’m assuming you’ll take care of some needs I’m feeling right this moment, since you untied yourself from the office…”

Good Morning everyone...ready to party for the second day in a row *smile*...
Come on in and make yourself comfy ~ our heroes and heroines have a lot to talk about...tis the season.
Welcome
Kristin...Alix, I'm still interested in the chocolate vamps...do I have to give up my soul to enjoy?
*Yawns* Oh man - I had some computer trouble last night and missed a lot of the fun! :(
But I see things went smashing without me! I hope there's still gingerbread, chocolate vampires, and Baileys left for today. Love the kissing couple up top and can't wait to read through everyone's character's Christmas stories today!
But first, I need a cuppa coffee over here...
Sorry about the color scheme today...somthing happened during the night ~ crazy elves got into blogger and screwed around with everyone's post. I had to go in this morning and straighten it all out...only they kept messing with me! Doggone little stinkers.
So...I left the colors to their own volition...yes, the elves got away with it!
I figure I have to be especially nice to those little buggers because they are Santa's little helpers...right?
Good Sunday Morning All! I'm getting ready to read through the posts. I like the first few so far. I'm enjoying my morning tea and watching The Shop Around the Corner (on TCM) at the same time. It's one of those holiday movies that doesn't get a lot of notice, but it's a good one.
Ho, Ho, Ho...
Catherine
catherinelee100[at]gmail[.]com
Good Morning Catherine - welcome back! I've been taping old movies on Lifetime, but haven't had time to watch many.
DL left a message, and I'm wondering if perhaps I have a number of addy links because of all the messing around to get this post up and running this morning? Anyway - Thanks for stopping by DL. Got you in the drawing.
Morning, all. Another day of holiday cheer from more of our merry band, wow! I've got to catch up on lagging posts today; discovered that my computer created a file and slipped lots of mail into it. Embarrassing to say the least, so now I have to send apologies to a bunch of folks. I'll be back later to read more of the fun posts coming on here. Sunday cheers!
PD
I like Reggie & Angela's story...and I like Kristin's post. Debauchery is good!
Merry Christmas everyone.
Catherine
catherinelee100[at]gmail[.]com
So happy to see everyone here! Unfortunately I have a busy day away from the computer. Christmas shopping and paying my respects to a relative who passed away last week.
But I'll be back later in the evening, so hold some Baileys and cookies for me, yes?
Have a good time! *waves*
Hi Everyone! Good Morning! I love Jezebel and Finn character interview their so funny and romantic. That was a really unique way to propose, never heard of the sticky notes version before. Shane & Jamie are really sweet, poor Shane its trust issues 'hmm', those are always so hard to over come but so worth it when you succeed, right Jamie?
Happy Holidays!
rshereifa(at)yahoo(dot)com
Chocolate vamps? They bite and you eat THEM? Sounds right up my alley.
Good morning Pat - no worries...catch up and come back to play.
Catherine - I love Reggie & Angela...they've got quite a story to tell. AND Kristin's vamps...to die for (LOL)
Danielle - have a fun day shopping - I'm headed out for a short time to B&N...will be back in a couple
Criss - hello there and welcome back...thank you for sticking with the party.
Our Muse It Up Momma is here...and she wants some chocolate Vamps Kristin. Let's make her happy :-)
See you all in a bit. The music's playin', Christmas lights are a twinklin', and it's an open bar...so please help yourselves. I think Alix left some of her Gingerbread men from last night...the one's with the fluffy frosting. LOL Yummy!
I'm logged n but haven't been able to post all day. One more try! I got a late start having to clean up the kitchen after Chris made 24 mini loaves of pumpkin bread (I'm good with the dish washer, not as good with the cooking) though I have made dinner today! Swiss steak and potatoes, on of my few specialties! Gotta get it done by 4 to watch the LIONS game! :>
FINALLY it works! Hope you all enjoy Angela's Coven, especially the lucky reader who wins it! :>
Yep, Gingerbread men with fluffy frosting here. *grin* I hoped I made enough. I am adding cinnamon coacoa too. It's cold and we need to keep warm.
Hi Kay Dee and Danielle. *waves* It looks to be another wonderful turn out. Hello Pat, nice seeing you again. *smile* Hi Catherine and Criss enjoy your visit!
I like what the elves did, Kay Dee, makes it more festive. *grin*
I'll have some soft sugar cookies ready later. First have to let them cool so they can be decorated.
Happy Holidays ya'll!
~Alix
Good morning everyone! I've had one cup of coffee and ready to decorate the Christmas tree. I know it's in a week...always a little behind here:) Love the Christmas atmosphere here though, and looking for some leftover gingerbread cookies too!
Bruce, very romantic with the guitar seranade and Handsom cab ride through Central Park!
Alix, the premise of Twin Flames sounds lovely!
Amy, love the eggnog and cozy fire! I think many of us need to find a cabin LOL.
Lin, a romance in a candy store, I love that!
Kristin, haha, I suppose you have a valid point with Christmas and vampires:)
Jolie, I enjoyed the playful banter and interview, but the Santa stripteze was the bomb!
Jerry, sounds like Jamie cares deeply for Shane. Nice job!
Kay Dee, I didn't know you had a release this week, sounds like a wonderful read, and the cover is beautiful Congratulations!
In fact all the covers are sincerely intriguing!!! I love our cover artist team:)
Danielle and Kay Dee, thank you again for being such fabulous hostesses!
Okay better work on the next cup of java, but I'll be back with some cyber Hot buttered rum and chocolate dipped snickerdoodles...
Hugs, and Good Cheer,
Sara
Sara, if you knew Daniel and Almira's story you would just never believe it.
Anyone up for warm unfrosted soft sugar cookies? I have a batch waiting to cool...I've noticed some have already disappeared. *shakes head* Guess, I'll leave these ones undecorated. *laugh* At least I still have the batter!
Hi Bruce! S. Durham...no pressure, I'm waiting patiently for the follow up to Lycan Moon. *grin*
My to-read list has grown so much and fast I don't think I can keep up! *chuckle* Each and every one here has made it there...of the joys of a reading list.
~Alix
Party's goin' on here - woot, woot...who spiked the soft sugar cookies??
Hey, Bruce...nice of you to make dinner for Christine. Love that.
Hi Sara!! Hugs! At least you have a Christmas tree...I'm not admitting to nothin', but there's no twinkly's goin' on at my place. That's why I'm spending so much time here...it feels like Christmas and looks like Christmas here. Love the ladies at Ravencraft's for it. Sharon, Danielle, Bri, Deanna, Charlene...they are the best...ever!!!!
Happy, happy!!
Festival8 (sounds so festive)...okay, tell us about Daniel and Almira...please.
Wow! The excellence continues. Congrats to all on the fantastic posts and intriguing stories.
Yes, Amy tell us more...:)
Alix, yes please, I love soft warm surger cookies! And well, I've submitted the follow up to The Lycan Moon, so we'll see:)... I'm with you, my TBR list is bulging like-er, Santa's Christmas bag!
Kay Dee just string some lights over the Elk head in the family room- oh no, that would be in my family room:)
Penny! So good to see you! You have been so busy on your whirlwind blog tour, you must be ready for a hot buttered rum, or at least a cookie:) Hugs, Sara
Okay back to the tree, I'll be back...
Cheer, Sara
I did. *blush* Sorry, Kay Dee, I didn't think anyone would notice. *shuffles feet* Just trying to keep the party lively. *grin*
Oooh! S. Durham, I so can't wait to hear it's working it's way to the bookshelf. *rubs hands together* Can you tell I've been deprived of really good reading material? *snicker* I'm late on getting the tree finished to. Kept running out of time. *laugh*
Yes, please tell us more about Daniel and Almira...I'll even sit still and behave. Promise. *crosses heart* I'll be as good a gold. *pokes horns down with fingers* Honest. *grin*
Dinner's was a hit and now, I get to watch the game while she does the dishes! Can't help but think about the WIP though, only one long chapter from DONE, The Great Northern Coven, book 2 in the Cabbottown Witch series!
Sara - Mine (twinkle lights) will have to go on the Mule deer LOL...He smiles at me everyday.
Alix...you little stinker...I knew I was feeling way too happy after eating a few of those luscious cookies.
Hi Penny *waves*...I'm so glad you came to the party again...love it. Hugs.
Bruce, CONGRATULATIONS!! I'm so impressed you got through that second book. I'm envious (in a good way)...you inspire me. I've got a long way to go to finish my second book in the Lycan series. Not sure what my hold up is.
Maybe I need more of those soft sugar cookies...Alix, can I have mine with chocolate fluffy frosting?

It's not TOO evil to talk football here, is it? Especially if the quarterback is cute?
Look at all the great books.
Wishing you the best this holiday season.
Cheryl
cg20pm00(at)gmail(dot)com
No, Bruce. I don't think it's TOO evil to talk football here. *laugh* Could lead to interesting ideas within the minds of us writers though. *grin*
Right everyone? Can you imagine a heroine who's into football and talking shop? And the hero is just WOWED by the fact she can interact with the boys? *chuckle*
Hi Everyone! I'm late as usual Too much Christmas stuff to do. Thanks to Kay Dee and Danielle for hosting this awesome party. Good luck to everyone, hope all the lucky winners LOVE their prizes. Some terrific books to be won.
Happy Holidays!
Nancy
Just finished the tree! Nothing like listening to Sara Mclachlan's Wintersong and Andrea Bocelli's my Christmas CDs to get in the Christmas mood!
Hey Bruce what do you think is on the TV nonstop in the other room? Yep football, so congratulations on going to the playoffs! My husband is rooting for the Saints or Packers:) Oh and a cute quarterback, sure absolutely... Great idea Alix!
Hi Cheryl!
Emily, so glad to see you! Hugs and happy holidays and Blessed Winter Solstice too.
Sara
All this talk about cookies has me craving some holiday cookies!
Hello everyone! I'm back from Christmas shopping and I'm proud to say I got MOST of it done! :D
Wow, it's so amazing to come back to all this chatter and exciting partying going on - we even have Mom (aka Lea aka MuseItUp's founder and owner aka Miss Boss Lady) stopping by - did everyone notice her? :P
I'll be back in a sec, I just need to stash my merch someplace safe real quick! Then I'll have a cookie. ;)
Hey Amy, about Almira and Daniel...I've read the first bit of your story where Daniel rips her off...and it is really James Bond style...gripping right from the get-go...and the tension between them sizzles. *smile*
Bruce...it's all good talking about football on the romance channel *grins* Football players are pretty buff ~ LOL I'm thrilled you're so far on your second book in the series.
Hi Cheryl *waves* - Happy Holidays to you, too!! Alix made some soft sugar cookies and gingerbread men if your interested. AND, I've got some Bailey's tucked away I'm happy to share. Pat got some earlier.
Alix, did Bruce just give you an idea for your next romance? You've got one heck of a creative flow when it comes to deep inner feelings between an amazing hero & heroine. You can definitely make it happen.
Nancy...big holiday hugs, woman. I get the holiday 'stuff' going on...we're so glad you made our big party ~ you've included a delightfully delicious giveaway with the Oak King's Daughter. Mmmm-good!
Sara - you did it...got the tree up while hubby's off watching football. Yeah, was he surprised when you invited him in to see it? I love Sarah McLachlan's voice...so beautiful in a deep spiritual sense. Nice.
Catherine - I know what you mean about cookies...my grandchildren and I usually get together and make Pigeon Poop...the name sounds terrible, but the candy mix is soooo good.
I know it's getting late...maybe the party is starting to wind down? Who's still interesting in a little cocktail?
Hey, Danielle...sweetie, poored you a glass of Bailey's...two ice cubes. AND, Alix left you a couple special looking cookies. *smile* She's really quite the baker.
So, did you buy out the stores *smile* The hustle & bustle of smiling faces and happy Christmas spirits is kind of nice. I ran into B&N for a bit...amazingly, it wasn't that busy.
Good job Danielle, nice to get that shopping done, so you can relax, LOL, for the rest of the week...delusions come easily to me:) Kaydee, I'm going to have a little of that Baileys, and then head off to bed.
Thank you both for hosting this wonderful Christmas Party, it was an absolute blast. Hope there are some happy winners tomorrow!
Happy and safe Holidays to everyone!
Sara
Well I slept all day, big surprise! Ready to hold down the fort for the naughty evening hours!
Yes, souls are required for the chocolate vamps. Unless you want to give up a little of your blood.
It doesn't hurt...much. ;0)
Virtual brownies are free though!! Oh, the real ones in the oven smell so good!!!
Kay Dee - I get ideas from the strangest things. *laugh* Yep, made sure to have enough cookies to go around. *wink*
Danielle - Glad to hear you'er almost done with your holiday shopping. I still have a few to snag myself. *grin*
Souls ARE required? *grimace* Okay...so how much is a little blood, Kristin? Can I barter? *chuckle*
~Alix
Hi Sorry I'm so late tonight. There are some amazing books. I really liked Kristin Battestella's vampire books, I own 3 of them :)
Merry Christmas,

Did I miss today's party? I was shopping and taking the kids to see Santa today. I was so proud of my four year old Orion. He was scared last year, but this year he climbed on Santa's lap and hugged him like crazy. When Santa asked if there was anything the kids wanted to tell him, so they could ask for what they wanted Orion hugged him again and said "I love you, Santa" When the kids are being hyper and annoying, it's moments like that which remind me why I'm running myself ragged this holiday season. I am sooo ready for the Bailey's and spiked cookies right now. It's been one heck of a day. I should have done all my shopping online like Jezebel would. I could be staying inside making cookies right now. Maybe tomorrow. I'm also trying to finish Jezebel's second book Poison Pens by the end of the year too, so it's a really busy month. Oh and for the readers, Finn has a costume fetish and Jezebel has a sticky note addiction, hence the sticky notes on his chest lol. S. Durham, Jezebel mistook Finn for a stripper when she first met him, so I thought it would be appropriate *grin* Anyway, I hope everyone enjoyed the party and has a Merry Christmas. Jolie Pethtel
Night Sara...enjoy the Bailey's. We'll chat again soon.
Kristin...YUM ~ Brownies sound really good. I can virtually smell them.
I'm heading off to bed too...we'll have the prize winning round up tomorrow on our prize page. Good Luck everyone...and thank you so much for attending our party...What an awesome fun time I've had with everyone.
Happy Holidays!!

Brandy bless your heart!!! Who doesn't love a good vampire book?
The brownies are damn good. Good and then damn them for being 170 calories!
