CJ Roberts – A Tale of Two Authors
By CJ Roberts (aka Jennifer Roberts)
Hello!
First, I’d like to give a HUGE thank you to Mit for allowing me to guest blog for Sexyreads. As an indie author I’m forced to be absolutely shameless in my pursuit of free publicity. Thanks Mit.
Second, I’m positive most of you have no idea who I am, so I should probably take a few moments to introduce myself. I’m CJ Roberts and I write smut.
What kind of smut?
All kinds.
Most recently though, I’ve enjoyed a certain amount of indie success as the author of Captive in the Dark. Released in September of 2011, it has sold approximately three thousand copies and I have somehow managed to gain a small following. I am currently working on the sequel, Seduced in the Dark by CJ Roberts, due for release in September of 2012.
Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge. Kidnapped as a young boy and sold into slavery by a power-hungry mobster, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible. Finally, the architect of his suffering has emerged with a new identity, but not a new nature. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was.
Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Olivia is young, beautiful, naïve and willful to a fault. She has a dark sensuality that cannot be hidden or denied, though she tries to accomplish both. Although she is frightened by the strong, sadistic, and arrogant man who holds her prisoner, what keeps Olivia awake in the dark is her unwelcome attraction to him.
WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, dubious consent, strong language, and graphic violence.
I was very nervous about Captive in the Dark, because the subject matter is somewhat distasteful and taboo, so I also decided to write short stories under the name Jennifer Roberts. Surprisingly, Jennifer is less successful – guess we’re all just some sick puppies ;)
Still, it has worked out for me to have more than one alter ego. CJ is a very dark person, with a sharp, but almost maudlin perspective on life and what’s sexy. Jennifer is a party girl who’s down for sex just about anywhere. I enjoy spending time with both.
Shameless plug ahead:

“Do Me No Harm”
By: CJ RobertsIt’s frightening the way you know me
As if I’m trapped under a microscope only you can see
All my mystery unraveled
All of me exposed
With you I’m free to be me – to really just beMy naughty little secrets hidden in my mind
My defenses and walls are nothing – I know that you will find
All my secrets scattered in your wind
All my temptations open to your will
Only you know how this slave has pinedYour sadistic little smile
Go on and make me walk the mile
Elbows tied together
Corset tied down tight
My high heeled steps clicking in single fileSpank me with your bare hand – force a slew of hot tears
Wrap your fingers in my hair – I shiver in my fears
I’ve missed you for so long
I ached for your cruel touch
Place the ball gag in my mouth so that now no one can hearI feel no shame as I linger in your arms
You kiss and caress me, seduce me with your charm
I never thought I could love like this
I never knew anyone could understand
I’ll love you forever if you do me no harm – none but the kind that’s done with your arm

Denise McCray – Forever in Love
Greetings everyone! My name is Denise McCray and I write sizzling interracial, erotic romance. My heroines and heroes are always striking, and never have a dull day. Quite unlike most of our normal lives, but hey, that’s the reason we love reading and writing fiction.
I have to admit that I’m kind of flaky and constantly change my mind about a variety of things. People kid me concerning my ever-changing hairstyles. One day I may have a head full of curls and the next I’m sporting a sleek bob. Who knows what I’ll do with my hair next week!
But one thing is a constant in my life, and that’s my husband. Sunday, February 19th will be our twenty-ninth wedding anniversary. I know, I know, we’re old people, but that’s better than the alternative. Actually, he and I have been a couple for almost thirty-two years. We met while in college, at a local grocery store. I joke and say he was on my shopping list that day.
This weekend is sort of a mixed bag for me and my wonderful husband though. We’ve been mourning the death of singer/actress Whitney Houston for the past few days. Her music has been the soundtrack of our lives. I practically wore out “The Bodyguard” compact disc, listening to it in the car and while walking on the treadmill at night.
I urge you all take a few moments this weekend to thank your loved ones for being who they are, no matter how infuriating they may be at times. Tomorrow is not promised to us: live and love for today.
Keep it sizzling,
Denise

Valentine’s Day Plans
Valentine’s Day is just around the corner, which means that all over the world people are preparing special days, dates and gifts for their loved ones. For some, this holiday is an opportunity to do something major – something special that shows deep care and devotion to a loved one. For others, Valentine’s Day is little more than a formal tradition, to be recognized by small gifts and gestures, but ultimately no different than any other night.
Regardless of how you treat the holiday, however, there are certain gifts and gestures that are expected by just about everyone on Valentine’s Day, and you would do well to remember them so as to make a good impression on the person you love come holiday time. Here are a few examples.
In most people’s opinions, the most important preparation you can undertake for Valentine’s Day (particularly if you are the man) is to swing by Marks & Spencer to pick up a nice bouquet of flowers or arrangement of roses. Flowers are deeply ingrained as essential elements of Valentine’s Day, and a nice floral arrangement shows your loved one that you care. Nobody dislikes receiving flowers.
A special card is also a lovely way to show a loved one you care, and you can find a large variety of romantic cards to send to your loved one at BlisseCards.
While you’re looking for flowers or cards, you may also want to look around and pick out a nice box of chocolates to give to your loved one. This is no major gift, but it is somewhat traditional, and can be nice as a small gesture. In fact, this may not even necessarily be the type of gift that you present directly – have a box of chocolates and some flowers waiting for your significant other in a strategic location as a nice surprise.
Finally, and most significant of all, be sure to cover dinner. You don’t have to do anything elaborate – it can be anything from a nice dinner at home to an elegant date out on the town. Regardless, however, make an effort to prepare or orchestrate dinner, so as to be giving your loved one a pleasant day.
and don’t forget.. Now with the Internet you can Order Online and have them delivered on the day!
Generally, all of the ideas listed above are fairly generic Valentine’s Day traditions and gestures. However, they also serve as a steady foundation for just about any holiday celebration, and can get you off to a good start. Again, some people like to take it easy on Valentine’s Day, and if that’s the case you can leave it at this. However, even if you would prefer to go above and beyond for this particular holiday, you should remember to include at least some of the elements mentioned above. Soon enough you’ll be on your way to an ideal holiday celebration!

Well, as much kissing happens on Valentine’s day there will be a day with something bigger and better than kisses and chocolates and flowers. It’s going to be a celebration of the snog!
‘What’s a snog/” I hear you say? Well Urban Dictionary has it defined as
–verb; to interface passionately with another being, creating a field of physical obsession and focused arousal centered on the lips, mouth and tongue.

I celebrate this each and every Sunday with my Sunday Snog blog bash over on VictoriaBlisse.co.uk and lots of great authors join in the fun by posting up a sexy, smouldering snogs on their websites, it’s a great way to pass a Sunday I can tell you! However I wasn’t satisfied with this, I wanted to make it bigger and better and more awesome and so The Big Blisse Kiss was born!
On the 12th February there is going to be a snogging spectacular where lots of authors get together to share their simmeringly saucy, seductive and sexy snogs but not just that, no, no! Every single author who participates will be running a giveaway!
So you’ll get to read some hot, hot erotic romance to get you warmed up for Valentine’s day and you’ll have the opportunity to win loads of prizes! You’d think that’d be enough but no, there’s even more to be found at blissekiss.co.uk! There are great flash fiction stories, all a thousand words or less and all smouldering and sexy and featuring snogs! So there are free reads too!
Now, I couldn’t leave you without a kiss! So here’s one from my Rubenesque romance Getting Physical:
“You have the most kissable lips…” I sighed, and as if I was under some external influence, I leant forward and closed the gap between us. I could feel her breath on my cheek. I waited for her to move, or to voice a rejection, but she didn’t and I pressed on.
I drifted closer. My lips brushed hers, barely touching them, but my body was electrified all the same. Every inch of me strained towards her, including my cock. I was so hard, and I wasn’t even kissing her yet. I pressed closer, expecting a slap, but her lips moulded to mine. I wrapped my arms around her, bringing her close to me.
I was delighted to feel her fingers embracing my bicep on one side and my shoulder on the other. Her touch signalled her acquiesce, and I stopped worrying and just kissed. It was sheer instinct that pressed my lips harder onto hers. It was my first real kiss, all the other pecks faded into insignificance as I revelled in her gentle touch.
Something changed, suddenly she was pressing harder against me, her tongue slipping between my lips to tango with my own. It was exquisitely strange, and I loved every moment of it. I could feel her breasts pressing against my chest. The hard little nipples dug into the flesh covering my ribs as her hands travelled up into my hair and held me to the kiss.
She didn’t need to, though. I wouldn’t have stopped that kiss for anything. I didn’t want to gasp or even breathe; a man could die happy that way!
