Mmm,
Hot stuff!
Let's get steamy!
My guest today, Yvonne Nicolas, writes Erotic Romance and Dark Urban Fantasy. Her debut novel, “Designing Love” is now available at Red Rose Publishing. Anyone who knows me, knows I have perfected the giddy little happy dance. I have to say, I’ve got nothing on Yvonne. But, we’ll get to the happy dancing a little later. *self-mandated ADULT CONTENT warning*
So, Yvonne, I figured I’d ease us both into the interview scene with a little multiple-choice. I’ve made this an easy one. Ready?
If you could have only one item on your desk what would it be?
a) A pen with one of those chain thingies attaching it to a pad of paper.
b) A word processor.
c) A full sized image of that hot male model…you know the one. *wink*
Yvonne: LOL! Hmm, I'm going to go with C... As if you didn't know I would choose that one. A pen attached to a pad of paper? Please. Who needs to write anything when you have a hot guy plastered up on your screen.
Mwahahaha! Agreed!
Now, I know you let a little something slip that I’ve been waiting to hear *premature happy dance, just a little one* but let’s focus today on your brand new release, “Designing Love”. Is this your first published work?
Yvonne: Yes this is, and I must say I can hardly contain my excitement. Although, this is my first published work, this is not my first baby. Of course, you already know that. ;o) I love erotic romance but thrive off paranormal romance and dark fantasy. Hopefully, the readers will soon see what makes me tick.
*grin* I can't wait for that other baby. That's been on my buy list since I read the first sentence.
But... let's get back to "Designing Love".
Can you give us a brief snippet from the story, perhaps a little word candy—a little taste of the ooey gooey goodness to come?
Yvonne: Sure.
***THIS EXCERPT CONTAINS***
***ADULT CONTENT***
The pounding beat of the hard rock music did little to diffuse the fire-storm raging within her core. Josephine continually clutched her thighs together and shifted in the leather seat, hoping to God the feeling would go away, but the longer she sat there, the worse it became.
He smelled so good, like a delicious man-meal on a platter. His cologne combined with his natural scent enticed her senses.
She kept taking involuntary glances at his masculine hands and long fingers. She wrung her hands feverishly in her lap, fighting the need to slip her fingers between her thighs to heal the ache dangling on the edge of her clit.
Huffing, she turned to stare out the window.
“You okay?”
Hell no! “Uh-huh, you have a nice ride.”
She couldn’t even look at him. It was best she didn’t. He was poison to her resistance. He had a way of sucking her into the deep blue fantasy called his eyes. It was too dangerous of a place to be, a place where she could easily lose herself in a heat of passion. Damn him. It wasn’t fair he had this kind of effect on her, especially when she tried to stay on the right path.
“Here we go.” They pulled up to the entrance.
“Thanks for the ride,” she uttered quickly.
Swiftly, she grabbed the handle in an attempt to make a run for it. His fingers wrapped around her wrist, forcing her to turn and look at him. His inky hair had fallen over his forehead, enhancing his sex appeal.
“I know this goes against what we discussed at the outlet, but—I just want to spend time with you, get to know you. And where we go from there, let’s—let’s just leave it to fate. I like you a lot Josephine, and I’m hoping you feel the same about me.”

His eyes were so sincere, so hopeful. Damn it, she had almost made it out of the vehicle. She closed her eyes for a brief moment to steady her thoughts, to think of something to say that didn’t involve the words, fuck me, please.
***Heather is officially speechless.***
***She must now take a moment to pick herself up off the floor and find air.***
***Please stay tuned.***

*big huge breath* OMG Yvonne! Holy sweet...! Moving right along. *fans self*
So *whew* now that half the interwebz wants to stalk you like psycho crazy persons...
Do you have a preferred hang out; for example, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, or perhaps the Intergalactic Data Pushers Guild?
Yvonne: Actually, I'm a member of Facebook, Myspace and Twitter. I'm still new to the tweet sessions, but feel free to drop in a follow me anytime. ;o)
Oh, yeah. I'm so there! But then, I have been for a while. LOL
I’ve had the privilege of working on critiques with you. You always come across as upbeat and jovial. Tell me, have you ever just wanted to stick…no, that’s not right…thump someone with a pencil even once?
Don’t worry, you can tell me. *crosses fingers behind back* I promise not to tell. *wink*
Yvonne: LOL! Bad girl. Well to be honest with you, I've never gotten that worked up while doing crits, or at least that's what I'm going to stick with here. ;o) Everyone has their own style of writing, and when I critique for others, I try my best to understand that and not hinder their voice. If I ever get to the point when I want to thump someone with a pencil, then it's time for me to stop.
Very well said!
Well, Yvonne, it’s been a pleasure. Do you have any other randomness to add?
Yvonne: Oh yeah! Promo time! Please make sure to drop by Red Rose Publishing and pick up my new book, "Designing Love". Take the sensual thrill ride with me, and if by the end of the book you haven't shifted in your seat, or squeezed your thighs together at least once, then I haven't done my job very well. ;o) Hugs and Kisses to all of those readers who love erotic romance. I'll be waiting to hear from you.
