New Cover! (And other random “stuff”)

I absolutely LOVE what LYX has done with the German covers of the Stolen Trilogy. This one is for STOLEN SEDUCTION:

Is that gorgeous or what? If you want to see all three covers together (or order your own German copies of any or all), you can go HERE. These books are really gorgeous with flip open covers and thick, heavy paper.

In other news…I’m sure most of you have heard the news this morning that Facebook is changing its rules regarding contests and giveaways. I was planning a big FB giveaway contest for release week of BODYGUARDS Read more »

New Excerpt from TEMPTED

I’m mired down in ENRAPTURED right now, trying to finish it up by my deadline, but as I was doing copy edits last week for TEMPTED I thought it’d be fun to post a scene to tide readers over. I do have to warn you, it was hard to find a scene that wouldn’t confuse everyone. So much is happening in this book and there’s a lot of action right from the start. Everything builds from there.

So this is from TEMPTED, a pivotal point for Isadora and Demetrius. If you remember in the end of ENTWINED, Isadora … Read more »

Great review from Publisher’s Weekly (& a new excerpt!)

This just came in yesterday. A great review from PW on BODYGUARDS IN BED!!

Bodyguards in Bed
Lucy Monroe, Jamie Denton, and Elisabeth Naughton. Kensington/Brava, $14 trade paper (304p) ISBN 978-0-7582-1033-3

Three novellas form this well-mixed anthology of bodyguards who violate the big rule: no personal attachment to the client. In Monroe’s sexy whodunit, “Who’s Been Sleeping in My Brother’s Bed?” brilliant Ph.D. student Danusia flees to her brother’s empty apartment after her place is burglarized, and finds black-ops agent Maxwell Baker temporarily staying there. In Denton’s humorous “Hot Mess,” Alyssa, office worker for a security firm, heads to LAX

The Words We Choose to Use

Larissa Ione and I were giggling earlier on Twitter about word choice, specifically tame swear words. Okay, I will admit my books tend to run on the colorful side where language is concerned. Luckily, I haven’t gotten any reader backlash about this but my mother often asks why I write like that when I don’t talk that way. (To which my hubby snorts and says, “She just doesn’t talk that way around YOU.”) I’ve never had a specific answer that pleases her, but the truth is I write what’s true to the characters. My adventure books tend to have a … Read more »

Wondering…

I’m playing with all kinds of fun things on my website, hoping to make it a little more interactive for readers. One thing I did was add a playlist for TEMPTED on the page’s sidebar. (Go to the page, then scroll down and you’ll see the link on the right side bar under “TEMPTED iMix”.) These are the songs that inspired the book. So my question is…can you open it? My CP said she couldn’t until she updated her iTunes. And then I got to thinking that people who don’t have iTunes won’t be able to hear…

So tell me … Read more »

For Fun

I know this is posted on the TEMPTED page but I figured it was worth seeing in a bigger form.
