Titania's Hot Sheets Newsletter

AUGUST 2008

 

  WHAT'S NEW

 

      Happy summer!  Warm weather is finally here in my neck of the world, but it's been such a busy few weeks, I haven't had much time to get out and enjoy the sun. June and July newsletter issues went to the wayside as a result, so fret not, you didn't miss out on receiving them. Anywho, while on the road, I've been hard at work on several WIPs, one being the sequel to KABANA HEAT, my new Samhain August release. While KH is set in Hawaii, the sequel will be set in Jamaica. *grin* (I do so love tropical settings.) Other works in progress include the second in my Ellora's Cave Exotika Nighthawk series, a sensual historical,  and a vampire novella. More details in upcoming issues of the newsletter. In the meantime, I hope you'll browse the Book News section here in the August issue including the sexy and beea-U-tee-ful new cover and release information for KABANA HEAT. Enjoy the newsletter!  :o)

 

And as always...

  Stay HOT between the sheets!

Smoochies,

Titania

TI'S MOVIE RECS

 

     Here are my latest MOVIE RECS complete with my personal ratings out of 5 stars...

 

 

 

 

P.S. I Love You  ~ 5 stars...  SUPERB tear-jerking love story where a dying man plots for his wife to receive correspondence from him after his death. Movie features a couple of hunks with yummy Irish accents including Gerard Butler. Hilary Swank stars as the grieving widow, and I must say she does a flawless job. She is now one of my fave actresses. (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

Freedom Writers  ~ 5 stars...  A wonderful story of inspiration and a teacher's dedication to get her at-risk students on the track to success. There's not really any romance in this movie, but it was excellent! Expect to tear up a bit.  (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

The Other Boleyn Girl  ~ 4.5 stars...  A historical drama in which two sisters compete for a permanent place at the throne and in the king's bed. Stars Scarlett Johansson, Natalie Portman, and Eric Bana as the king.  (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

10,000 B.C.  ~ 4 stars...  If you don't mind your romances set eons ago, this one's for you. Not a bad movie.  (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

Meet the Spartans  ~ 4 stars...   OMG, this is such a hilarious satire on the movie 300. I think you do need to see 300 before you get a lot of the humor in this one, though.  (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

Untraceable  ~ 4 stars...   A thriller starring Diane Lane who plays a cybercop searching for a serial killer using the Internet to televise his gruesome murders. There was the hint of a possible romance with a secondary character, but not enough for my taste. Had the movie expounded on the romance more, it would have gotten 5 stars from me.  (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

Elizabeth: The Golden Age  ~ 3.5 stars...   Cate Blanchett again plays the role of Elizabeth, the Virgin Queen. This "episode" explores her relationship with the explorer Sir Walter Raleigh. A well-made movie. I always love the historical ones. (Available on DVD/VHS.)

 

 

 

REVIEWS

As always, a big special thanks goes out to all reviewers for taking the time to read and review my books!

 

 

 

5 Angels! "The Fires Within burns hot and heavy in this story. A wonderful mixture of lust and love with a large dose of

added spice. Katja’s desperation in her quest for the passion of Rafe is deeply moving. The interaction of the characters

was intensely delicious. The addition of another man into the mix takes the heat factor to new heights. The sexual

encounters are blazingly hot and sensual. Ms. Blaze has told a great story and I cannot wait to read more by

this talented author." ~ Dawnie for Fallen Angel Reviews

 

 

"...interesting and fun to read. The sex scenes are numerous...  the book is an excellent little read for someone looking for a book that centers on a relationship." ~ Heather Nestorick for Just Erotic Romance Reviews
 

 

 

 

  

 

4 Angels!  "Some believe in karma, some don’t. I personally believe that you get what you give as Roxana Blaze

demonstrates in Breathless... Ms. Blaze has written a wonderful story with a sound plot, strong and engaging characters,

and poignant messages throughout. I enjoyed reading Breathless and would recommend it to those who enjoy the genre."

~ NeNe for Fallen Angel Reviews

 

 

"Breathless will leave you as such. Ms. Blaze's first book in a planned series of four leaves a few questions and teasers that I am hoping will be answered in the future novels. The heat between the four characters Kassidy, Wyatt, and Nighthawk/Elijah was nothing short of an inferno. The needs and desires that were laid out without shame was thoughtfully planned and came across to make this book a very fast paced read... I enjoyed this book and I look forward to reading the next book in the series." ~ Shira for Simply Romance Reviews

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

"Curse of the Black Widow kept me hanging on the edge of my seat with great anticipation from start to finish.  There were so many twists and turns that piqued my interest so much, I just had to keep reading until all the secrets unfolded.  Seth and Olivia were a dynamic couple full of passion and compassion.  Their non-stop sexual encounters made me blush and left me breathless with great desire... I found Curse of the Black Widow to be a thrilling, erotic read that I am sure paranormal fans will enjoy diving into." ~ Nikita Steele for Joyfully Reviewed

 

 

"The way Titania Ladley created this wonderful storyline just blew me away. I loved the way she developed Olivia in this story, making her "The Black Window" was just great. And then you have Seth, a paranormal investigator who is pulled into this from the moment he lays eyes on Olivia. All he knows is he must help this woman out because someone wants what and who she is hidden and hidden deep. This is a strong and intriguing story, and had me enthralled until the last page." Nicole Harvey for ParanormalRomance.org

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

5 Angels!  “I have to admit this is one of the most romantic stories I’ve read in a few months... There is one scene that I’m

sure women across America would appreciate, as well as hope that the person in their life will do at least once... The story isn’t just erotic, it’s laced with a bit of suspense and an ending that you don’t see coming until it is upon you. Ms. Blaze demonstrates she knows how to bring a book to the table that will leave you wanting for more.” ~ NeNe for Fallen Angel Reviews

EXCERPT

Excerpt:

 

Her smile faded. For a full thirty seconds, she stared deep into his eyes, her own tearing up. He knew at that moment she finally understood his desperation and intense desire to have her, to reclaim what was his after seeing her with another man.

 

Kiona twisted, assuring the car remained in park, and removed her shoes. She reached for the sunroof’s edge, pulling herself to a standing position. She was a tall woman and it was a small car, so with her feet placed as wide as she could get them on each front seat, the roof came to waist level.

 

She set her elbows and forearms on the roof and leaned on them. “I’m ready,” she whispered down to him.

 

He scooted forward and drew up her dress, stuffing the front hem beneath the garment’s waistband. And there it was, her jewel—his jewel. Nakolo’s mouth watered and his balls throbbed, engorging like a balloon ready to pop.

 

Hemolele! Mmm, my love, you are so gorgeous, so—” he swiped his tongue up her slit, eliciting a scream from her,

“—delicious.”

 

The flavor of cream and faint salt burst in his mouth. Holy islands, she was wetter than the sea. He drew back and studied her toned thighs and the top of the “V” they held dear. Except for a small patch of dark curls above her clit, she always kept her pussy shaved for him so he could feel her silky lips upon his tongue or encircling his shaft. The labia were smooth and naturally tanned, her nub pink and swollen, emerging at the top of her cleft like the early bloom of a hibiscus.

 

God, what perfection!

 

Nakolo couldn’t delay any longer. He wrapped his arms around her hips and reached behind her. Sinking one finger into her dripping-wet puka, he closed his mouth over her swollen bud.

 

She screamed again, this time far louder. He heard her hands slap the roof, and rejoiced when her voluptuous body spasmed in his arms, against his face. He flicked his tongue over her clitoris while gazing upward through the sunroof. She was like a siren of the sea. He watched as the Pacific winds blew inland tossing her hair in a wild mass, her breasts perky mounds, her face contorted in ecstasy.

 

Her pelvis did a swiveling dance, abrading over his face. She growled, reaching for that pinnacle that always came so easily for her. Nakolo pumped his finger faster, adding another, then a third. She spread wider, accommodating him, coating his fingers with her stickiness. With his tongue, he thoroughly explored every fold, crease, and little bulge, knowing the time would come very soon when he would have to yank her down into the car and plunge himself into her.

 

She was almost there, he could tell by the stiffening of her dance and the animal mewls escaping from deep in her throat. But somewhere in the sexual blur of his mind, Nakolo heard the hum of a car engine. He whipped his head around to see a sleek Mercedes pull up behind Kiona’s car.

 

“Goddamn it,” he swore when he saw none other than Mitch Wulfrum unfold himself from the driver’s seat and stride toward Kiona’s car.

 

Kiona’s windows were darkly tinted, so most likely Mitch couldn’t see Nakolo. If Mitch had spied Nakolo’s truck back at Jager’s house, he’d probably know Nakolo sat in her car. But if he hadn’t peered out the window at Nakolo’s boyish antics, Mitch wouldn’t know whose truck it was and might assume Kiona was alone and the truck abandoned.

 

Not knowing one way or the other added an edge of excitement to the unexpected situation. Nakolo’s loins simmered with reluctant fire. Did he want to be discovered or not?

 

As Mitch approached the driver’s side, Nakolo studied the strikingly handsome face, the tall, lean body…and the bulge in the jeans he now wore. Nakolo swore under his breath. Why was it he found the sight of this man sauntering nearer so very arousing while he orally pleasured Kiona? Where had his anger gone? And why hadn’t he demanded an explanation from Kiona before he had dived right into satisfying his sexual urges?

 

“Mitch, what are you—what are you doing here?” he heard her choke out.

 

The whole bizarre situation Nakolo suddenly found himself in did strange things to his libido. Hot liquid fire whooshed into his bloodstream, the flames of it licking at his cock like an incredible blowjob. He felt Kiona start to lower herself down, but something reckless drove him to hold her in place and force her to remain standing while he went back to work on her dripping cavern.

 

With his cock now as hard as stone, he slid his fingers back inside her and went wild on her clit. As if a demon rode him, he let his sidelong gaze fall upon the mass in Mitch’s pants. Kol licked and sucked, his eyes locked on Mitch through the darkened glass.

 

Son of a bitch, what had gotten into him? Was he actually turned on by this man’s interest in his woman…and by the man himself?

 

“You forgot these.”

 

Nakolo heard the jingle of what sounded like keys, and the plunk of it on the roof. But he was so aroused he didn’t care to explore why Mitch Wulfrum gave his Kiona a set of keys.

 

Kiona let out a strangled reply when Kol rammed his fingers in deeper and swirled his tongue faster. “T-thanks. I-I’ll talk to you—oh, God! ’Û!” She reached down and cupped one hand on the back of Nakolo’s head, pressing him closer, grinding her stickiness all over his face.
