Recipe for Love

And now to the latest release from Ellora's Cave, Recipe for Love. This is one of the Valentine's Vixens Quickies and I'm very excited about it. I remember writing this story and laughing while I wrote it because I could picture it all so clearly in my mind. Yes, I must admit that there are hot, steamy passages in the book, of course. But there are also a number of funny moments. Life, even when it involves love, romance and sex, is not always deadly serious. If you've got a funny bone, Recipe for Love just may tickle it!

A blurb? Sure, I've got a blurb...

Early Valentine’s Day morning Gabriella is summoned to her grandmother’s home with an urgent phone call. When she arrives there all is well—there is no emergency. The reason for the call is the family tale—and recipe—that is about to be passed down to Gabi. It is a treasure that will change her life, the way it has changed the lives of generations of women before her. Can one bite of a decadent canoli seal the destinies of lovers? For some it can.

And for this one, a little excerpt...

“So, are you going to tell me why you called me over here this morning? The morning of Valentine’s Day, when I should be out buying a card or something…else?”

Like teasing my Tom again, riding him like a woman possessed and reminding him of how wonderfully romantic he used to be, before he became so damn successful?

Her grandmother reached across the table and patted her hand.

“I have something to tell you, Gabriella. An old family secret and a recipe that’s been handed down through ten generations of this family,” Nonna said, a cryptic smile playing at the corners of her mouth. “It is time for you to know certain things, time for you to learn the ways of love among our women.”

Love? Sex ed from Nonna? Whoa—wait a minute! I’ve got to stop this before it begins!

“Listen, Nonna—I appreciate the thought, but I don’t really need any advice about love and…other things. Thanks anyway, but why don’t we just spend some time talking about Aunt Jean’s gallbladder or—“

“Basta! Enough!” Nonna held a gnarled hand in the air, as if she was a traffic cop. “You are twenty five now. Old enough to know certain things, certain things that every woman in this family has learned from their nonnas. That, Gabriella, is what grandmothers are for, to pass on the wisdom of the ages. You will listen. You will learn. But you will not turn away from what is rightfully yours. By tonight you will have the tools.”

“Tools?”

“The tools to drive any man you desire out of his mind with longing for you. You will be able to entice any man you choose to do your bidding. You will have the tools to choose a man to become your sexual slave for life.”

Recipe for Love will be released on January 31st. Go one, take a taste of The Recipe. Who knows? Maybe it'll bring you a bit of romance, too!
