Blurb:
When love simmers sweet and passion simmers smooth, rhapsody is efficacious rapture.
Tommy
and Spencer were meant for each other, that is, until a serendipitous
encounter proves to be an enormous revelation. Will Luke, Tommy's
childhood friend, serve to change the tide?
Kesha has finally
told Teresa about her feelings. The only drawback is Teresa's engagement
to Chris. Will Kesha bask in the bliss that only Teresa can bring, or
will Chris get in the way?
Come feel the ardent emotions which steam under a silky surface with Simmer: Smoothe & Sweet.
Erotic
Never
underestimate the steam of a hot caffeinated beverage infused with the
flavor of imagination. Wake up your senses while savoring “Kona”.
Experimental
A
simple ad gives a curious skeptic a lot more than he was bargaining
for. Check out the hair-raising experience while combing through
“Tresses”.
Entertaining
Darbi has
her share of bad luck. She is unexpectedly in job purgatory and has no
chance of ever getting a promotion. Her online dating profile sat months
without any responses. Why should she continue?
As she signed on
to delete everything entirely, three responses catch her eye. All are
different but each has something about them which makes Darbi want to
meet all three. Ade appears to be the guy next door. Boyde looks like a
supermodel. Choise looks like the rugged type.
When all is not
what it seems, Darbi has concluded that her love life is mating with her
job status in purgatory. Will anything come in handy to turn her luck
around?
This version of “Handy” includes an epilogue, as well as Darbi speak.
Erotic, Experimental, and Entertaining—All come in Handy when experiencing a Good Release.
Today, I have the pleasure of hosting Synful Desire and
Adonis on my blog as part of their blog tour. Their new releases Simmer:
Smoothe & Sweet and H.E.R. (Handy: Extended Release) will be out soon and
if you’re a fan of romance I suggest you check out their books.
For their guest post, Desire and Adonis will be talking
about trends in the erotic genre. There is adult material in their posts and it’s
not suited for all audiences, so please be advised.
Without further ado, I give you Synful Desire and Adonis
Mann.
Desire:Hi Miss
Carol! Thanks for having us on your blog. Your color scheme is interesting … to
say the least. What do you think Donny dear?
Adonis:Hello
Carol. Thank you for having me here. It’s wonderful to take a spin around your
blog, as I believe it is my first visit.
Desire:From what
I hear, you are one who writes romance with a bit of drama. Both Simmer: Smoothe& Sweet and H.E.R. (Handy: Extended Release)
definitely deliver plenty of that. Now, Donny and I could have easily just
dropped off the videos (which I think we will do anyway because they are the
#Hotness), put in an excerpt and have been on our way.
However, we want to do something different.
Since he and I both write LGBT type works, focusing on
erotica, we would like to share some current trends that quite frankly, make my
hairs frizz and Donny cringe.
I. Limited Vocabulary
for Luscious Locations
Desire:One of my
top peeves is how … should we say … limited the vocabulary is for the male and
female genitalia. I mean, if I see one more “cunt”, “lovebox”, and “snatch” I’m
going to throw a stiletto! There is nothing box like about my v-jay jay, if you
get what I mean. Why can’t people come up with words that make my body
automatically want to prepare for seduction instead of make me want to just run
for the heels? Yet, no sexual preference is immune to this mediocrity and it is
a travesty!
Adonis:Personally,
if I see the words “cock” or “dick” one more time, I’m going to throw my Kindle
out the window … or perhaps not, it cost me a lot of money. There is nothing
more repugnant about reprehensible and vulgar language in a written work of
art. Perhaps it is my sapiosexual nature, but what turns me on is a sensual
stream of verbiage that makes the hairs on the back of my neck stand. There’s
nothing sexy about a “cock”, for it makes me think of a rooster. And the word
“dick” derives from a nickname as well as a whale. How is that attractive at
all?
II. Attractiveness is
NOT a Dictatorship
Desire:Speaking
of attractiveness, I am a believer that “attractive” is in the eye of the
beholder. When I put myself in the role of a reader, I don’t want the author to
dictate to me that a certain body type, skin tone, hair style, etc. is sexy.
Simply put, although I know the trend is to put one’s definition of hot bodies
on the cover of works, I do not like it because it takes away my ability to
imagine what the person looks like. What if I don’t like a man who has a lot of
tattoos or piercings, yet a cover of a pierced tattooed man is all in my face?
What if a woman with long weave is a turn off, yet a cover has weave, glorious
weave? It just douses out the fantasy before it even begins, for the author’s
fantasy of sexy may not necessarily be the reader’s fantasy of sexy.
Adonis:For me, there
is nothing sexier than the sensual and whimsical nature of the imagination. To
give something a brand is to take away the freedom of the mind’s eye. Words
create images, and in everyone’s mind, the image differs. What may be sexy to
me may not be to my neighbor. Therefore, using the magnificence of diction is
like using paint on a canvas.
III. Embellishment in
“Now Play” instead of Foreplay
Desire:Donny, it
is funny that you should speak of painting a canvas. Art can be depicted in
many ways, yet more often than not, sex is written about in the same style,
particularly in the LGBT community. Allow me a bit of digression, if you will.
One person is at (pick a location)
A person in the background catches said person’s
eye.
Unspoken glances and/or little if any meaningful
dialogue.
Location shifts to where one-on-one action can
be facilitated
Action begins, going directly for oral, anal or
vaginal stimulation or penetration
The End
Yawn … yawn … yawn.
Where is the foreplay?
Where is the buildup? Where is the opportunity to create something different
from just “meet, greet, and fuck” type situations?
It’s like writers, even those in the LGBT community, are
playing to the stereotypes associated with us—that we are horny and sex crazed
most of the time, and we don’t have moments where there is behavior like
normal, everyday couples. The biggest argument I hear is that no reader wants
to read about “everyday activities”, yet it takes away the possibility that
there is more than one type of reader out there. Also, why can’t everyday
activities be something worth reading about? They can be, if the right diction
is used to supercharge the imagination.
Adonis:Desire, I
believe that the problem is that people are in a rush to get to the Tootsie
Roll center of a Tootsie Pop. It seems as though foreplay has been lost and
replaced with “now play”. The word “foreplay” implies that there is interaction
before satisfaction. Yet society is too fixated on satisfaction first and
interaction later. This provides absolutely NO realism to a story and in turn,
does not give the reader the sensation that said things could be possible.
If I were in a rush to get to the action, I would just watch
a cheap porn flick. There’s nothing more exhilarating than the thrill of the
hunt.
Desire: This has
been enjoyable but we must be going. A bit of food at our favorite café, and
then to do some much needed shopping!
Adonis: Desire, it’s your turn to choose the nail
polish color. Farewell, dear Carol.
Title: Alan, Fay and Demona: Preludes of Prism 1 Author:Synful Desire Publisher: All Authors Publishing House Genre: Contemporary Fiction based on True Events Release Date: November 17th, 2015
Blurb
What happens when passion blinds reason? The ardent fire of desire meets the shocking and harsh blows of reality in this Prelude of Prism. The convoluted relationships of three individuals morph into a rainbow of disarray.
EXCERPT:
FAY
4:08 AM
It
was that moment when it hit home. My life was to be forever altered.
The realization poured over me, as wet as the bottom bedroom sheet
became. I almost screamed, first believing it was done. However, when I discovered the substance was just water, my fright tapered off slightly.
The bag was already packed. The telephone numbers already on standby. Now for the tough part: waking up the man—no, young boy—responsible for this predicament.
“Alan
wake up.” His response was a moan, the wrinkling of his nose and
switching from lying on his back to on his side, away from me.
Agitated, I slapped his face. He bolted upright ready to retaliate but lowered his hand as soon as he realized it was me.
“Fay what the hell d’ya hit me for?” He slurred.
“We’ve gotta get to the hospital! My water broke.”
Alan
sprung into action. He notified the hospital, trying not to show his
panic as he loaded the prepped satchel into the car and guided me into
the passenger’s seat.

Taking a long over due trip far away from her bane, things steam up really quickly and Sabrina discovers all of the Delectable Things that life has to offer.

It is said that confession is good for the soul. Does it still ring true when circumstances are complicated? Kesha has finally come clean. She has let Teresa know about her feelings. The only drawback is Teresa's engagement to Chris. Teresa is forced to make a choice between Chris and Kesha. The fallout will be nothing less than a fire of simmer sweet.

Without further fuss, we would like to present you with the Cover of "Delectable Things: Special Edition" by Synful Desire.
Sabrina was now on the phone with her friend, Rachel. This day was one of the worst days of her life. She couldn’t believe she had gotten fired and the behavior of Mr. Torrance. He was using his personal feelings to try and justify this decision. The thing that pissed her off the most was that Veronica had set out to ruin her.
“Yeah, I can’t believe it either. Especially Veronica. The bitch had me on tape! I couldn’t say shit to defend myself!”
“So Sabrina, what are you gonna do?”
“Find another job; what else?”
“I mean, do you have enough in your savings to cover the rent? I know the place you are in now is hella expensive.”
“I got enough back in my savings for another four months or so, but after that, I’m going to have to find a new place to live.”
“Well love, you can always move here.”
She and Rachel had talked about this before. Sabrina knew that Rachel had feelings that went beyond friendship. As much as she loved Rachel as a friend, she didn’t have feelings for Rachel that extended past that point. This was why she would usually reject Rachel’s offers for help.
However, her back was up against the wall.
She knew it wouldn’t take long before word got back to her father, if it hadn’t already. Her father would not be pleased, since he pulled some major strings for her to work at Joynt Enterprises. It would hurt her greatly if her father’s business got negatively impacted due to her fallout with Mr. Torrance. She didn’t know if she’d be able to face him or if she could live with her father, given the circumstances.
I’m happy to be hosting the cover reveal for
