Hello! I can’t believe it’s almost Christmas already. I’m not quite prepared yet, but I’m working on it.
This week I’m taking part in the 12 Days of Christmas Party hosted by Chanta Rand and Reviews by Crystal. I’ll be there at 8:30 EST on Wednesday December 16th. The party has already started and is going on all week with guests and giveaways. Be sure to stop by the 12 Days of Christmas Party page on Facebook.
The Blow by Blow blog tour is going on until the end of December. I’d love it if you have a chance to stop by.
There have been lots of great guests recently here and at the Compelling Beasts Blog. Please check out the list below.
If you’re in the mood for some holiday stories, I’ve posted several free ones over the years. Just a warning, the stories have erotic or sensual content and are for those 18 and over. Enjoy!

Excerpt of the Week:
Bobbi and the Beast
by Saloni Quinby
M/M Erotic Paranormal Romance
“Are you okay?” Bobbi asked.
“Yeah,” Gideon said, his voice even huskier than usual, then he shook his head. “No.”
Bobbi hopped off the bike so he could meet Gideon’s gaze. His face was flushed and misted with sweat. His blue eyes glistened and he drew sips of air through parted lips.
Panic nearly overtook Bobbi and he asked, “Are you sick?”
Gideon bowed his head, his grip so tight on the handlebars that his knuckles turned white. A low growl rumbled in his chest and when he glanced up, his beard had thickened. Sharp white teeth gleamed against his lips.
“Oh shit!” Bobbi staggered backward, nearly falling over his own feet. Gripped by terror, he thought his heart might leap through his chest.
“Don’t be afraid,” Gideon said, rising from the bike. With every passing second he seemed to become more animal-like. His ears lengthened, the tips wolfish. Hair covered the backs of his clawed hands.
“Last night. . . it was you,” Bobbi murmured. “What are you?”
“It’s a long story.”
“Are you. . .did you take me here to kill me?”
Gideon curled his lip and raised his eyes to the heavens. He growled. “If I wanted to kill you, I’d have done it last night, wouldn’t I?”
“How should I know?” Bobbi didn’t even try to keep the panic from his voice. “I’ve never seen anything like this before. This can’t be happening!”
“That’s what I’ve said for the past six months. This can’t be happening.” Gideon closed his eyes for a moment and shook his head. He stepped closer and Bobbi backed up. “Believe me, Bobbi, you’re the last person I’d want to hurt.”
“Why?”
“Because since this happened to me, you’re the only person who hasn’t turned away from me, even when I don’t look like this.”
Bobbi stopped and allowed Gideon to approach. His heart pounding, he reached out tentatively and touched a hand to Gideon’s bearded face.
“How is this possible?” Bobbi whispered.
“I don’t know. A guy I slept with cursed me. He said he had magical powers, but I’d have to be an idiot to believe that, right?”
If Bobbi hadn’t seen this for himself, he wouldn’t have believed it.
“At least this explains why you live out here,” Bobbi said.
“I’m sorry for. . .not being honest about all this.”
“You should be.” A tremulous smile flirted with Bobbi’s lips and he shrugged. “But it’s kind of sexy.”
Gideon’s brow furrowed and one of his heavy eyebrows arched. “Are you serious?”
Bobbi nodded. His gaze dropped to Gideon’s broad chest. “Do you get hairier everywhere?”
Gideon drew a sharp breath, then smiled faintly. “See for yourself.” He literally tore off his T-shirt, his sharp nails shredding the thin cotton. It fell to the ground, exposing his sculpted torso. His chest hair had thickened considerably and tapered down his muscle-ridged belly. He reached for the front of his jeans, but Bobbi stepped forward.
“Let me,” he said softly and moistened his lips as he unzipped Gideon’s fly.
