A pond, a campfire, a tent, and a hot summer night. That's the recipe for endless erotic possibilities, isn't it? With just those four ingredients, where does your mind take you? Are you gazing up at the stars, or do you have stars in your eyes as you're pushed back to the ground, the fire flickering and warming your legs as a heated body slides up and over you, easing your legs apart, sizzling your insides as lips find your nape and...
Okay, you get the picture. Erotica and summer go together like chocolate and peanut butter. There's something about the heat of summer that raises the temperature in our thoughts and in our bedrooms. More skin is shown, clothes are more revealing and sexier, and with longer days, we have to squeeze a lot more loving into shorter nights that provide a brief reprieve from the scorching heat. And for us authors, summer spikes the heat on the pages, too. So, let's hop about it, shall we? This hop includes over 100 erotica authors and kinky bloggers, all with hot posts and giveaways. So, make sure you hit all of them (the full list is at the bottom of this post)
I am an author of both M/F and M/M erotic romance, and in my upcoming novel, The Arms of Winter, which drops everywhere on June 30, I explore a friendship between a horse trainer and an ex-Army sniper as they come to terms with their love for one over a campfire on the banks of a pond in the heat of summer. Hard male bodies, covered in sweat, touching and exploring. Yes, it's a heatwave on the pages, but it's also a love story.
My paranormal series, All the King's Men, which takes place in Chicago, opened in January with book one, Rise of the Fallen. Not exactly summer, but in the bedroom, the main characters (a dark and mysterious male vampire named Micah and a feisty ex-Army medic named Samantha) would never have known it was cold outside for all the frictional heat they were firing up. Book two, Heart of the Warrior, took us into March with an even hotter dose of erotic heat. The series is fast approaching the end of spring, and the books of summer promise not to disappoint, with one especially amazing swoon-worthy erotic love story already taking shape that occurs in the month of July.
Make sure not to miss out on this series, which is garnering incredible feedback and making ladies everywhere seek out a cold shower or two.

ReplyDeleteGlad to hear you enjoyed Moonlit Hearts. Let me know what you think of my other stories once your read them. :) Thank you for stopping by.
DeleteDoes a night at a campfire (which resulted in a two year relationship) count as summer entcounter?
ReplyDeleteNot to mention what followed in the barn (filled with other people in sleeping bags)....Well, it's sad to say but in the whole two years this must have been the most romantic night :D No wonder it didn't last.
A night at a campfire does count, Sunne. :) And the barn. Sorry it didn't last, but you did get one hot night out of it. *wink*
DeleteI have never had a sexy summer encounter that made me curl my toes *sigh* oh well, there is always next summer! (As I'm in Australia, it's winter here) Where would my fantasy partner take me...To his own private island..or maybe his private office ;)
ReplyDeletebookdevoteereviews(at)hotmail(dot)com
Here's hoping that next summer brings you your first toe-curling encounter. LOL. Thanks for stopping by.
DeleteMy wonderful night was out camping in a tent for the first time in 20 some years. It was the best night ever. And 9 months later we have a little one. which was a big surprize. Can't wait to read the new book. Muffy B
ReplyDeleteWell, your hot summer night had a happy little ending...one with the pitter-patter of little feet. LOL. Thanks for stopping by and let me know what you think of the new story once your read it. :)
DeleteI spent a lovely Summer on the North Shore of Oahu once. We had a cottage on the beach. It was pretty wonderful.
ReplyDeletegeishasmom73 AT yahoo DOT com
Ooohhh, Oahu. :) I think that would be pretty wonderful for everyone. Mmmm. Thank you for stopping by during the hop.
DeleteI have spent a few nights out under the stars at a little cottage in the hill country of Texas that were just amazing.
ReplyDeleteI would love to travel to some exotic place, hell just travel but finances to allow for that so I'll take what I can get!
mmafsmith at gmail dot com
I'm in the same boat right now financially, but things are looking up. And that's the right attitude, take what you can get right now. Later on, things will be different. :) Thanks for hopping by.
DeleteGotta love m/m, YES! As for me, if the guy is the right one, anywhere would be the right place (sappiness alert)!

Anywhere tropical would be lovely, yes? Mmmm. And thank you for buying HOTW. I hope you enjoy it. Keep tissues handy. I've had a lot of readers tell me the story brought them to tears (but in a good way - LOL).
DeleteMy husband and I had a ton of fun in our cabin while on a cruise one year ;)
ReplyDeletesionedkla@gmail.com
My hubby would love to take a cruise, but I get motion sick and would have about zero fun. Poor hubby. :) Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteWell what comes to mind is me, my then-boyfriend but now my husband, AND a table. That's all I'm willing to divulge. God I loved that table! *sigh*
ReplyDeleteThanks for this awesome giveaway!
hai-yen.huynh@sympatico.ca
LOL. You reminded me of the movie, Where the Heart Is. If you've ever seen it, you'll know why. Hint: the table. Thank you for hopping on by my blog. :)
Deleteno sexy summer encounters come to mind but a private cabin near a mountain pond with no one others around but wildlife (but no bugs) providing an enchanting soundtrack would be lovely.
ReplyDeletegamistress66 (at) aol (dot) com
*sigh* That does sound lovely. :) Glad you came by to share with me.
DeleteSince my idea of camping is staying at a hotel that has no continental breakfast, my sexy summer encounters all happened at the beach! Yum!
ReplyDeleteproudarmymom32(at)yahoo(dot)com
Nothing wrong with that. :) Yum, indeed!
DeleteMine was in Yosemite National Park beautiful memory!
ReplyDeletemfierydrgn@aol.com
:) I've never been to Yosemite, but I can just imagine how wonderful that was.
DeleteI'm sure I have had my share, but the ones fresh in my mind are from your two books! Micah is my beautiful sweetie and the guys are working on a way to fit me in. lol!
ReplyDeletesmith7108@bellsouth.net
LOL. Hi there, Dyan! So glad you came by for a little blog hop visit. And my boys are all puffed up with pride that they've given you fits of pleasure. I swear, I don't think I'll ever get Micah's head back to it's normal size with all the ego boosts he gets. But he loves it, I love it, and we're thrilled to please the fans. Stay tuned. Io's book might just curl your toes, too...along with a new chari or two being introduced. *wink*
DeleteThanks for the great giveaway! My hottest, sexiest encounter was last summer. The kids were away and hubby took charge. I was tied up for hours and I'll let your imaginations go from there. I'm hoping for a repeat this summer

Almost anywhere in hawaii could make for a sex summer fantasy.
ReplyDeleteacm05atjuno.com
I secluded cabin in the woods with a hot tub on the deck on our honeymoon....oh my...that was definitely memorable.
ReplyDeleteemily joy drake at gmail dot com
My sexy summer encounter was at camp and in the woods. Those cabins and late night bon-fires can get very hot! sdylion(at)gmail(dot)com
ReplyDeleteWell, my fantasy dream partner would take me to a cabana on the beach, fully stocked with food and drink, minus irritating sand, where he would then proceed to give me a wonderful massage for several hours, while feeding me and letting me listen to the waves. That's my fantasy.
ReplyDeletetiger-chick-1(at)hotmail(dot)com
Can't say I've had one yet ;) but because I live in the sweltering heat of Phoenix, my fantasy would be at night, somewhere around the mountains, should be cooler there, camping in a desolate area so no one could see or hear us :o}

I had an amazing time in a cabin when my husband and I went camping!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the giveaway!
laceyblossom1(at)gmail(dot)com
I live vicariously through my books as I have never really had a real sexy summer getaway/encounter. Camping: cold weather where you could see your breathe it was so cold. Cruise: motion sickness. Disneyland: kids (need I say more?). etc. etc. etc.
ReplyDeleteThanks for participating in the blog hop and to Skye Warren for sponsoring it.
That would never happen with me, to much bugs. When I have sex its always out of nature.

I don't have s summer encounter to share, but a little villa tucked away from other people sounds perfect to me.
ReplyDeleteisabelli3619 (at) aol (dot) com
Even camping in summer can get chilly at night, so we had to find a way to stay warm. Nowadays, I'd prefer a cabin in the woods!
ReplyDeletelfacchini(at)tampabay(dot)rr(dot)com
No, I haven't. Thanks for the giveaway.
ReplyDeletebn100candg(at)hotmail(dot)com
Nope, no summer encounter. But, an island with waterfall could provide fodder for a fantasy ancounter!
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I love camping, and had many sexy encounters with my husband while camping (before kids).
ReplyDeleteana(at)anas-attic(dot)com
I dont have a story. As for fantasy, id love to go somewhere with a pretty meadow, with a waterfall, a big comfy hammock and enjoy a nice picnic. ;) It would be secluded and we could do anything and have fun! ;) Thanks for sharing and for the fun hop! And thank you for the awesome giveaway!
ReplyDeleteshadowluvs2read(at)gmail(dot)com
As a fantasy I'd like to be taken to a island with a waterfall area. That could be fun.

I'm with Shadow about. I'd love to do it at a waterfall. Then shower underneath it. Pretty cool.
