Wednesday again, which means it’s time for another Marketing For Romance Writers Book Hooks blog hop!
Check
out my blurb and hook, from my outrageous BDSM ménage novel TheIngredients of Bliss. Then go visit
some of the other authors “hooking” you today!
Blurb
One
sexy
French
chef.
One
kinky
American
TV
producer.
One
ambitious
Chinese
gal
who
thinks
she
wants
them
both.
The
ingredients
of
bliss?
Or
a
recipe
for
disaster?
Accomplished
cook Mei
Lee ‘Emily’
Wong knows
exactly what
she wants—her
own show
on the
Tastes of
France food
channel. But
life is
full of
complications.
First, her
deceptively nerdy
producer, Harry
Sanborne,
initiates Emily
into the
delights of
submission. Then
her boss,
legendary chef
Etienne Duvalier,
begs her
to dominate
him. Emily
just can’t
resist—especially
when Harry
orders her
to explore
her inner
mistress. Suave
and sexy
Etienne will
do whatever
she asks—in
the bedroom
if not
in the
kitchen. And
Harry, her
lovingly
diabolical Dom,
adores pushing
Emily’s
limits.
When
the network
sends the
trio to
France to
shoot a
series of
cooking shows
on location,
Emily knows
her career
is on
the upswing.
Her plans
fall apart
in Marseille
as a
Hong Kong
drug syndicate
kidnaps both
Etienne and
Harry. The
Iron Hammer
Triad mistakes
Etienne for
notorious
gangster Jean
Le Requin,
who has
stolen their
drug shipment,
worth millions.
Emily realizes
she must
find the
real Le
Requin, retrieve
the purloined
dope, and
bargain it
for Harry’s
and Etienne’s
lives. The
secret she’s
been keeping
from Harry
might prove
useful. Still,
what chance
does one
woman whose
knife skills
are limited
to chopping
vegetables, have
against the
ruthless cruelty
of two
criminal
organizations?
The
Hook (Rated R)
He
broke the kiss and raised himself up on his forearms, gazing down at
me. “I love you, Emily.” He didn’t need to say the words. The
truth blazed in his face.
I
love
you
too. I
choked on
the admission,
unable to
give back
what he
needed and
deserved. How
could I
say I
loved him
after what
had happened
yesterday?
Miserable,
confused,
drowning in
self-reproach, I
remained silent.
“It’s
about Etienne, isn’t it?”
“What?”
His insight
shocked me
into a
response. “Um…no…
I mean…”
“Whatever
else you may or may not feel, don’t lie to me. Please.”
I
swallowed the lump in my throat and scanned his handsome face. I saw
no trace of anger. In fact, a hint of a grin played on his lips. I
nodded.
“Tell
me. Every detail.”
“I
can’t…”
“Mei
Lee Wong,
I swear
that if
you don’t
confess this
instant, I’ll
thrash you
with that
paddle we
bought last
week until
you can
barely walk!”
Yet even
as he
voiced this
threat, he
levered himself
off my
body and
thrust two
fingers into
my pussy,
triggering a
spasm of
exquisite
pleasure.
How
could I refuse him?

Interesting. She sure has her work cut out for her. Great excerpt
I think this is an x-rated illustration of "The carrot (his fingers) or the stick (the paddle)".
Thanks, Janet & Ed!
You're both definitely right!
