Curve My Appetite by Melissa Kendall
  Part of the Decadent Publishing 1Night Stand Series

Sally Austens’ sexual experience is limited and unsatisfactory at best. Now, as she turns thirty, it looks like the relationship train has missed her stop. When a friend tells her about 1Night Stand and suggests it might just change her life, she’s skeptical but shoots for the stars when asking for her perfect date. Go big or go home, right? 

Dean Martorino lives in the public eye. Surrounded on a daily basis by society’s idea of stunning beauty, he longs for a woman with curves he can get lost in. At the suggestion of his long-time friend and manager, Dean shares his secret with Madame Eve hoping she can find him a match to fill his arms and satisfy his desires.

Can Sally accept the beauty Dean sees in her long enough to curve his appetite or will they both go home hungry?

 Excerpt:

For the umpteenth time, Dean checked his phone. Still no text. He sighed in frustration. Thirty minutes after they’d agreed to meet, and no sign of his date.

His misgivings about the 1Night Stand concept weren’t eased by the fact she hadn’t arrived yet. He longed for something different, but one-night stands were not his usual idea of fun. He preferred long-term relationships. Jerry, his best friend had assured him Madame Eve’s services were more love matches than sex.

He’d laughed, at first, finding the whole idea ridiculous. He doubted even the mystical Madame Eve could find his perfect woman. Jerry had laughed, too, but then he got serious and asked, “What do you have to lose?”

 Dean’s regular fitness regime kept him in shape and looking good for thirty-five. The women he met were stick-thin, self-obsessed, and semi-plastic, typical of the industry he worked in. Most of them were pretty, and though he’d dated a few, they weren’t what he fantasized about. No, in his dreams, the ladies all had natural and much curvier figures.

Big, curvy women had always fascinated him. Because he lived his life in the public eye, he’d been reluctant to go after what he wanted. At his age, though, with his career on the downhill slide, he realized he didn’t care anymore. He’d had his time in the spotlight. He wanted to settle down and have a family. Hence, he’d decided to find someone who loved him, not his public persona. He’d spent too long denying his true identity.

A knock made his heart skip a beat. She’s here. After a quick check in the mirror, he steeled himself and opened the door.

His mouth went dry and all coherent thought fled. Even if he had the words to express how she blew him away, he didn’t think he could find his voice. He ogled the gorgeous, buxom brunette standing in the doorway. His admiration cut short, as her face paled.

“You’re—” She stopped talking mid-sentence, her eyes rolled back into her skull.

 

Reacting on instinct, he reached out and wrapped his hands around her waist, trying to catch her before she hit the ground. However, instead of stopping her from falling, he was pulled to the carpet, too, both of them crashing in a heap.

Women fainted around him all the time. It no longer freaked him out. It was, however, the first time he’d fallen to the floor with one. Her pulse thumped strongly under his fingers. Relief washed over him; she was okay. The ridiculousness of it all hit him and a deep belly laugh escaped his lips. 

Even with the less than successful start to his date, the feel of her in his arms had parts of him standing to attention. His curiosity dictated he find out more. Madame Eve had made an excellent choice. She might have found the perfect woman after all.

Tea or Coffee to arouse your creative words?

8:39 PM | Posted by Celeste | | Edit Post

I love to drink coffee or tea when  I write.  Recently, I got a great tumbler from Tevana encouraging tea drinking.  I love Earl Gray tea and Lady Gray tea.  I really like all black teas and many green teas.  I've also recently got started drinking white tea. 

These tumblers come in a variety of sharp colors.  Mine is a gorgeous red color, it looks like the finish on my new car.  So shiny.  :) 

I can fill my tumbler up and sip on my tea for a long time while I'm busy writing or doing my legal work.  My tea stays hot, almost too hot in my new tumbler.  It holds a lot of tea too.  You can use this tumbler for coffee too.  I'm in love with my Tevana tumbler, I had to blog about it. 

Drink tea, it is good for you too.  Plus, tea has a interesting history all over the world.  Tevana also offers wonderful teas for your palette.  You can spend way too much money in their stores.  I do, and when a certain someone sees my Visa card for last month.... oh my!

A few years ago, I had a tea party baby shower for my friend and it was a lot of fun.  I used beautiful tea pots I bought from Tevana and their delicious and good for you teas.  Shop at Tevana and drink a bit of history and culture.  Serve it up in a gorgeous tea pot and a convenient tumbler.  I do! 

Sometimes the aroma of tea makes me dream of exotic places for my books.  It's amazing what can make creative blood flow through our brain cells. 

Happy tea time should not only be for our English cousins, drink tea America!
