I'm the summer editorial intern for Avon an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers. If you're interested in what happens to get those sexy scenes you love so much from the author's mind to your hands, follow me throughout the summer!
Recently I saw a posting on Facebook, encouraging people to apply to become an Avon Addict-no not the cosmetics, but the book publisher. As Avon happens to publish some of my absolutely favorite authors, such as Lorraine Heath, Lorretta Chase, Maya Rodale, Sarah MacLean, Liz Carlye, Stepahnie Laurens and Eloisa James, just to name MORE than a few, how could I resist? I applied and they wanted to know how many books I read per month (probably 10-12), how many I have on my e-reader (must I reveal-ok lets say conservatively 500+. Yeah that’s crazy). But I was comforted in knowing that I would be in the company of other crazy book addicts like myself. I am excited to be able to preview so many wonderful new books and new to me authors. Many of these books are contemporary, but some are historical (yay). I will be reading and reviewing...

Blaine, the billionaire hero of He Watches Me, is a voyeur. Voyeurs like to watch. Of all of the kinks, I think voyeurism is perhaps the most common. We’re nosy creatures. We like to know what other people look like, what other people are doing sexually, and often this revs our own sexual engines. Reading an erotic romance can be viewed as voyeurism, as is watching a hot movie starring Vin Diesel or a steamy episode of Game of Thrones (grins). Blaine watches Anna skinny dip (and do more) in his backyard pool every night. Her exhibitionist antics feed his voyeur fantasies and, for a while, he’s satisfied with merely watching. ***************************************************************************** He Watches Me From Cynthia Sax She desires to be seen. He wants to watch. Anna Sampson has a naughty secret. Every night, she slips into her neighbor’s yard and swims naked in his pool. She fantasizes that...

He wants to watch. Anna Sampson has a naughty secret. Every night, she slips into her neighbor’s yard and swims naked in his pool. She fantasizes that the dynamic young billionaire watches her nightly nude aquatics, his brilliant green eyes gleaming with lust. She discovers this isn’t pure fantasy. Gabriel Blaine has been watching her via his security cameras, and now that he has returned to L.A., he doesn’t plan to stop. That’s all he wants—to watch. Anna knows she shouldn’t allow him and she certainly shouldn’t want more, but she craves Blaine’s attention, needing his gaze fixed on her body. Part One of The Seen Trilogy...

At The Duke’s Wedding (Anthology) by Caroline Linden, Katharine Ashe, Miranda Neville, Maya Rodale Review: Oh My Gosh!!! Oh My Gosh, Oh My Gosh, Oh My Gosh~!!!! I love this book so much! Every time I read an anthology from these ladies I fall head over hills for them and just want to jump through time to be with their characters. This is their second work together and I just want to weep for more. I am so shaky and giddy right now I can’t stop smiling and typing is taking me forever to type what I’m feeling. I just want to bounce round the room and roll around the floor in giddy bliss! I can’t even begin to describe what an out of the world this book was. Every story was like dragging me through a field of rose bushes. They’re beautiful to look at then- wham! The vines...
