This weekend, the All Genre BlurbFest

Thanks so much to everyone who left suggestions for the blurb fests! I realized too late I should have specified the blurb fests are by genre rather than theme, though I loved your ideas.

I'm taking the easy way out and making this one an open weekend. Any and all genres are welcome! But please remember, TBR is not rated, so only post blurbs suitable for general audiences.

It's easy to participate! In the comments section, post:

- book title
- author name
- book blurb
- buy link

One blurb per author, please.  Post away!

    - book title: THREESOME SWEETNESS
    - author name: JoAnne Kenrick
    - book blurb:
    A shot of Threesome Sweetness stirs up emotions….
    Elizabeth, a part-time manager of Bell’s Irish Pub and business student, is newly hitched. Her marriage could use a serious shake up, but she finds shopping a more therapeutic use of her time.
    If Todd’s wife is happy, he’s happy. But it seems nothing is putting a sweet smile on her face these days, not even her friends at Bell’s. So he contacts 1NightStand and arranges the one thing he knows she doesn’t necessarily want but definitely needs for her thirtieth birthday; a threesome.
    Enter cowboy Cade, who’s in London, England hoping to make a restaurant franchise deal. After weeks of doors slamming shut, he uses the 1Night Stand agency in hopes of sprinkling some fun over his overseas business trip and perhaps to learn what he’s missing out on by being relationship shy.
    A harmless night of intimacy is planned.
    Is a dash of Threesome Sweetness the remedy each is looking for, or will the date leave a bitter aftertaste each will regret for the rest of their lives?

    Passions sizzle even between a feline and a wolf...

    Angelique had no idea her black panther tattoo would force her to abandon the love of her life—Connor O’Reilly—but she’s determined to keep him safe no matter how much it hurts. Her tattoo doubles as her feline familiar: loving, protective, dangerous, and with a life of its own. It’s also her deepest secret and draws enemies who desire its power for themselves.

    Connor has no idea why Angelique left him, but he’s determined to win her back. As a werewolf, he has secrets of his own. Now his alpha is ready to force him to pair with an ex-girlfriend he can’t stand unless he can find Angelique and claim her as his mate. But even as their secrets threaten to keep them apart, hidden enemies seek to destroy their chance at love forever.

  16. Here's one under my name:

    Still the One
    Wendi Zwaduk

    She’ll be his salvation if he’s willing to switch.

    Being stressed out sucks, especially when you’re in charge of a team. Just ask Eric Trask. The pit crew of the Fifty-Four truck team depends on him. The stress of keeping things running smoothly is wearing Eric down. What’s a guy to do to get a little relief?

    Janine Walters knows exactly what Eric’s up against. She’s the public relations face of the team. Pressure is all a part of the job. Her outlet for stress just happens to be wielding a crop.

    Can Eric embrace her methods for stress relief or will her suggestion tear their fragile relationship apart?

    Reader Advisory: This book contains the use of a crop, spanking, a little bondage, a little pegging, some toys and a woman who knows how to use a strap on to pleasure her man.

    ON PROMISED LAND is set in the 1840s at the end of the Second Seminole War. It details the great American dream of all pioneers who settled the western lands. But these are black pioneers.

    These stalwart, industrious folk strive and survive in what we think of as the "American Way" even when they aren't recognized as Americans-—or Seminoles-—or free. Yet they persist.

    Forever Wicked: Serena's Prince
    by Ayla Ruse

    A frog, a curse and a broken promise. Sometimes punishment can be its own reward.

    Serena never thought asking for help from a frog would result in her being tied to her bed. She should be afraid. She should call for the guards. She definitely should not be… begging for more.

    Prince Rennick needs to get his hands on Serena’s necklace -- the one item sure to break the curse that turned him into a frog. When an accident makes him temporarily human, he cannot help but use his dominant nature to bend Serena to his will.

    What should have broken the curse turns into a desperate attempt to save Rennick’s life. As they try to find the key, Rennick demands much from Serena, but is she willing to surrender everything to this frog-turned-prince?
