Hi all! I'm here happily celebrating the birthday of the most fabulous Taige Crenshaw - may she be twenty five FOREVER!
So what was happening in the literary world on the day Taige was born?
August 13, 3114 BC - According to the Lounsbury correlation, this was the start of the Maya calendar. While many might not consider it a literary event, we'll call it one anyway. A great deal of writing and capturing of history began on that day. In fact, people remained captivated by Mayan writings until just eight months ago when we were met with December 2012. Yep!
August 13, 1516 - The Treaty of Noyon between France and Spain is signed. And while the treaty was not a book or a play, it was a very important document, yes?
August 13, 1608 - John Smith's story of Jamestown's first days was submitted for publication.
August 13, 1732 - Voltaire's five-act play, "Zaire," premiered in Paris. And directors are STILL casting that play to this day.
August 13, 1876 - German composer, Wilhelm Richard Wagner's opera, "The Ring of the Nibelun," premiered.
August 13, 1892 - The U.S. black newspaper, "The Afro-American" began publishing from Baltimore.
And to add to the fabulousness that is Taige, did you know that she shares a birthday with the ever-so-famous *wait for it, wait for it*...ALFRED HITCHCOCK! Though Taige is nowhere near as creepy, she is certainly just as talented as that famous writer/director.
And last, but not least, for my fellow geeks, Taige shares the big day with Mr. Koji Kondo. I'm sure many of you a thinking, "Who?". well, he's the guy who composed the soundtracks for the classic Nintendo video games, including Super Mario and Legend of Zelda!
A birthday party wouldn't be a party without at least a present or five, right? We all know that Taige loves books. She shares that love with one of the main characters of my book, Caramel Kisses. of my characters.
Ladies and gentlemen, meet Sydni Cannes, executive, book lover and lover of all things raunchy:
Workaholic Sydni Cannes should have known better than to step away from work. Going out for a single evening of fun has ended up as a night spent in damn jail!
Drew is aware that the sexy, sultry and brilliant Sydni couldn’t care less about getting involved with him. But he needs her. And the perfect opportunity to prove that she needs him just as much comes along. All he has to do is get her out of jail…and keep himself free in the bargain.
Their desire scorches them, the connection so real and immediate.
But what will they do about the bad guy determined to set them both up? Solve the mystery, of course…and a little misplaced, hot-as-hell sex wouldn’t hurt either.

So far vacationing with Drew had been a blast. Sydni was having an awesome time exploring the land of The Lord of the Rings. There couldn’t possibly be another place like New Zealand anywhere on Earth. And certainly not another man anywhere like Drew. In addition to arranging the most out-of-the-way accommodations, he’d arranged helicopter tours of some of the locations where the movie had been filmed. The land was wild and untamed in places, bringing to mind certain scenes from her favorite epic film. And she had her own action hero in a rugby player’s body, but with a more stylish haircut.
Sydni leaned back in her chaise and frowned down at the baby powder fine sand underneath her feet, debating whether she wanted to swim and get sand up her ass, or just lay here and watch Drew play. Raising her gaze, she watched her man approach and had to force herself to breathe. As usual.
Rising up out of the waves, Drew dripped sex. After planting his surf board into the sand every step he made toward her sent her stomach rippling up into her throat. The water dripped down his body in sparkling rivulets, leaving wet paths in the downy hair of his bare chest. Packed slabs of muscle bunched and flexed as he wicked the water down and away from his arms. God the man had the most delicious thighs and well-formed calves she’d ever seen on a man. And an ass to simply die for, which happened to be nicely outlined by his soaked swim trunks.
His dark mop of hair was plastered to his head, curling about the ends as he made his way toward her, dripping wet. The dripping made her think of how he made other things…drip.
Yes, he looked great in shorts, and even better in nothing. His chaise groaned as he settled down in it right next to her with a contented sigh.
“Whoever thought sex on the beach was a great idea must have been crazy,” Sydni mumbled watching him try to get the stuff off his legs. It hung on to the fine little hairs for dear life.
“Not crazy, just a fraud.”
“You mean the person who thought of selling it as something sexy had never done it before?”
“Exactly. Who would be stupid enough to fuck on the beach? The last thing a man wants is sand up his cock.”
Sydni laughed, enjoying Drew’s wit. She settled deeper into the cushions of her lounger, more relaxed than she’d been in years. In truth, the man made her feel comfortable. Like an old robe or her favorite pair of slippers, she was becoming so used to his presence, she didn’t want to think of what it would be like without him. Nor did she want to think about breaking in a new pair of comfies.
Sigh. Yes, Drew was a keeper.
After a few minutes of trying to read her novel, her attention was caught by a movement from the direction she couldn’t keep her eyes from straying to anyway. Drew had risen and now stood next to her. She looked up and came face to face with a cock pushing against the front of his swim shorts. Oh boy.
Sydni dropped her book, grasped his hand and let him lead her into the house and straight to the shower.
After rinsing the sand from their bodies, Drew snatched Sydni’s favorite massage oil off the dresser and headed for the screened-in private veranda out back.
“Coming?” he tossed over his shoulder. She grabbed a couple of clean towers and scrambled after him. Naked, he lay down on the leveled lounge and held out the bottle to her. “Do me, first?”
No problems there. Touching the man, easing her fingers over those miles of muscles, teasing him with her hands until he went crazy. Yep, she could certainly do him first.
She took the bottle from his hands and dumped a liberal amount into her palm, rubbing it back and forth so the friction would warm it. Working her fingers into the muscles of his shoulders and upper back she massaged and stroked, smiling at his groan of appreciation.
“God, that feels so good, Syd.” After a few sighs and moans she eased up on that part of his back and concentrated on the tight muscles around his lower spine. Then it was down to his perfectly formed, trophy-deserving backside. Pressing her elbow into the hollow of one butt cheek she applied pressure a bit at a time to loosen the muscle. It was amazing how much stress a person carried in their butt cheeks. And since she planned to make sure Drew worked his thoroughly later, it was only fair to make sure he was good and relaxed now.
Working her way down his hamstrings, she finished with his calves and finally his feet. And since she’d been wicked, pressing hot open mouthed kisses and little nips to his heated skin from the time she started the massage, she wasn’t surprised to find a fully erect cock rising up to greet her after she instructed him to turn over.
“You are a wicked, wicked woman.” She grinned until he said, “And payback is a bitch.” He flashed a lascivious grin as he sat up, swung his legs off the low lounge and stalked her. “Your turn.”
Sydni took off at a dead run.

I have always wanted to go to New Zealand and I have to agree sand is not a good addition to wild love making.
What an intriguing blurb. I love the mystery element. I agree with Carin and Drew about sand. Water as well is usually more fun in books than in actuality.
I love books and I love raunchy!!!!
I loved the excerpt!!! (Sand and water are probably better in books than real life!)
I Love the exceprt.... Thank you and Happy Birthday Taige!!!
sound like a Sexy mystery.
Happy Birthday Taige
