Charity Sunday for Planned Parenthood - #prochoice #YouKnowMe #CharitySunday


Charity Sunday banner

Once again, it’s the last Sunday of the month. Here at Beyond Romance that means it's Charity Sunday.

My charity for this month is a no-brainer. Given the outrageous attempts over the last few weeks to outlaw abortion, of course I’m going to send this month’s donation to Planned Parenthood. PPA has been working to provide reproductive health care and scientifically sound health information to women (and men) in the US for more than 100 years.

In fact, even if you are morally opposed to abortion, you should still support PPA. The organization works hard to prevent abortions, by helping women plan their pregnancies. PPA also provides testing, counseling and treatment for sexually transmitted diseases including HIV, which can threaten not only a mother but her unborn child. 


Check out the long list of services PPA offers and I'm sure you'll agree they're a worthy cause.  

Anyway – you probably know how this works by now. I’ll give you a sexy excerpt to thank you for participating. Leave me a comment; for every comment I receive, I’ll donate one dollar to my chosen charity.

My excerpt today is from Citadel of Women, Book 2 of my Asian Adventures series. 


Passion flares among the ruins of an ancient empire

When her lover severs their relationship just before a long-planned trip to Angkor Wat, Doa stubbornly decides to travel alone. The marvelous sights of the ancient Khmer empire do little to heal the rift in her heart. Che, the mercurial young tour guide, senses her loneliness and offers her comfort and passion. Their connection is far more than physical – but how can two people from such different worlds share a future?

I’ll give away a free copy of this book to one person who leaves a comment. So be sure to include your email address!

Excerpt

A soft knocking at the door jolted me back to reality. I clutched at the sheet, my heart slamming against my ribs. Maybe whoever it was would go away. The knock came again, more insistent.

Doa? Are you awake?”

I didn't have to answer it. If I didn't answer, he'd have to leave. Wouldn't he? But was that what I wanted?

I grabbed the batik sarong I'd bought in Bangkok, wrapped it around my body and tied it over my breasts. Liquid trickled down the inside of my thighs as I padded to the door. Musk hovered in the sticky air.

I opened the door. Che stood there, barefoot, clad in a T-shirt and boxer shorts. His hair was tousled. His eyes burned.

I couldn't sleep,” he murmured. He stepped into the room. I closed the door behind him.

His arms snaked around me, pulling me to his chest. He was stronger than he looked. He nuzzled my neck, licked his way up to my ear lobe and flicked at it with his tongue. A bolt of pleasure shot through me, targeting my pussy. He silenced my moan with his mouth, capturing mine in a wet kiss. I tasted the beer we'd drunk, the chilies he'd eaten.

I let my arms clasp his slender body to my riper one, accepting what he offered. My rational self warned I'd regret this. When I grasped his rigid cock through the well-worn shorts, his groan drowned out the voice of caution.

As I stroked his hardness, he unknotted my sarong. His hands sought the weight of my breasts. He cradled them, kneading my ripe flesh and tracing voluptuous circles around my nipples. Warm honey flowed through my limbs. I pulled the threadbare boxers down over his lean hips so I could sample his nakedness. A musky funk rose from his privates. His cock was long like his fingers, slender and graceful as the rest of him, and harder than the stones of the ancient city. Wrapped in skin as soft and delicate as a baby's, it pulsed in my hand, alive with need.

Please don't forget to comment! Every comment helps women control their own bodies and raise healthy children.

Asian Adventures - #SingaporeFling #Asia #series


Asia”. The word conjures a wealth of imagery and emotions. Exotic. Mysterious. Enigmatic. Alien. Even today, when jets routinely circle the globe, Asia feels strange and faraway.


For me, though, it’s home.

I’ve lived in several Asian countries, and visited many more, though there are still some I haven’t managed to get to—yet! More than a decade ago, for both economic and social reasons, my DH and I relocated to Southeast Asia. I prefer not to specify exactly which country since the powers-that-be in that nation tend to be conservative about sex, at least officially. If they knew Lisabet Sarai resided within their borders... well, I’d rather they didn’t!

Almost immediately, I felt comfortable in my adopted home. Things that are important in most Asian countries—tradition, family, personal relationships, food—are important to me, too. I also loved the dynamism of the region. Asia is changing much faster than America or Europe. It’s exciting to watch and contribute to the unfolding new society. The energy is contagious.

My love affair with Asia actually began much earlier, though. On our first date, more than thirty years ago, my husband told me tales of his extensive travels. I listened, fascinated and envious, as he painted word pictures of Balinese volcanoes, Malaysian jungles and Thai temples. Our first international trip, not long after we married, was to Hong Kong. Working as teachers, we lived in Thailand for two years in the nineteen eighties. The central location that made it easy to explore the region. After that, we were hooked.

Given my long experience with Asia, it’s probably not surprising that quite a few of my stories are set there. Recently I decided to create a series of short ebooks, erotic romance tales that unfold in different Asian countries. The first to be published was Singapore Fling, set (as you might guess) in that high-tech city-state. I’ve brought out four additional titles so far, set in Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam. The next story (Asian Adventures Book 6) will be set in Hokkaido, Japan. 
 
Here’s a bit about the first Asian Adventure.



In the cleanest city in Asia, things can still get messy.

Thai entrepreneur Ploy Kaewkornwattanasakul has come to Singapore to close a deal. Ploy needs to convince tech whiz Jason Chow to license his ground-breaking innovation to her company on favorable terms. The future of her startup depends on her negotiating skill. When she meets Jason, though, she realizes she wants not just the invention, but the inventor, too.

Jason Chow is a brilliant engineer, a successful businessman and a bit of a rebel. He’s attracted to Ploy from the moment he sets eyes on her. However, he doesn’t dare respond to her advances, for fear she’ll discover his secret vice.

Ploy doesn’t understand why the sexy CEO has rejected her. She figures she’ll have to content herself with the cold comfort of a signed contract—unless the strength of Jason’s desire overwhelms his shame.

Excerpt

The two men left her alone to peruse the agreement. A hint of Jason’s scent lingered, though. She tried to ignore it, forcing herself to digest the legalese in front of her.

By the time she reached the bottom of the first page, she was smiling. The smile grew broader as she read further. The contract was generous. More than generous. Exclusive use of Interia technology in Thailand and unlimited technical support, in return for joint branding and a royalty percentage two points lower than what she’d been prepared to offer.

This might be just the push ShopGuru needed to go viral.

Jason stuck his head in the door. “Finished yet?”

She turned her smile in his direction. “Yes. I have.”

And?”

It looks highly satisfactory.” Try as she would, she couldn’t keep the glee out of her voice.

Do you want to run it by your own lawyers?”

Probably she should do so. However, she didn’t want Jason to get any second thoughts about the terms. Plus lawyers cost money.

No, I’m happy to sign it as is.”

Excellent. Ravi is here as a witness.” Jason leaned over her to put a second copy of the document on the table. The heat radiating from his body rekindled her carefully controlled desire. “If you’ll give us your signature here—” He pointed to a blank space. She couldn’t help noticing the smooth, hairless skin of his forearm. “And initial here.”

She followed his instructions, struggling to keep her feelings in check.

And if I could just borrow your pen...” Electricity jumped between them as his fingers grazed hers.

She cursed to herself. Why couldn’t she have gotten the hots for someone normal?

The Hook

I woke alone. The room was dark. Someone was banging on the door. “Time to get up. The bus leaves in half an hour.”

It was Che. Memory flooded back. My cheeks burned, though there was no one to see me. I listened, heard him move on to knock on the next guest's door. Thank heavens.

How could I face him, when I'd been such a slut? But I really did want to see Angkor Wat at dawn. I hurried into the shower, aware that the room reeked of sex.

What was I thinking? I mused as the warm water washed the stickiness from my thighs. Screwing our tour guide – a guy at least ten years younger than me. How stupid of me to give in to my desire.

He probably did this with every group, homing in on the woman traveling alone. Carving another notch on his belt. Now I'd really have to give him a good tip. Still, he hadn't seemed that sure of himself. It was hard to believe it was just mercenary.

I was the last one to the bus. Che waited outside the door. He offered his hand to help me up the steps. I couldn't look at him.

How are you this morning, Ms. George?” I cringed, hearing the laughter in his voice. I raised my head, indignant. Who was he to mock me?

He was smiling, not the snide, superior grin I expected but a genuine smile full of affection and concern. I couldn't help smiling back. “A little groggy,” I replied. “But well. Very well.”

His hand lingered on my arm longer than necessary. I still felt his touch as I made my way to my seat.

Sizzling Sunday - New Release and Giveaway! #MulticulturalRomance #Cambodia #SizzlingSunday


Sizzling Sunday banner

Happy Sunday! Today I’ve got a short but steamy snippet from my new release Citadel of Women, Book 2 in my Asian Adventures series. This multicultural romance is bitter sweet, but has a happy ending.

Here’s the blurb:

Passion flares among the ruins of an ancient empire

When her lover severs their relationship just before a long-planned trip to Angkor Wat, Doa stubbornly decides to travel alone. The marvelous sights of the ancient Khmer empire do little to heal the rift in her heart. Che, the mercurial young tour guide, senses her loneliness and offers her comfort and passion. Their connection is far more than physical – but how can two people from such different worlds share a future?

To celebrate the new release, I’m giving away two copies of the book. All you have to do is leave me a comment below. Be sure to include your email address.


And here’s the excerpt. Be sure you have some ice ready....


Che played with my tits, twisting my nipples between his fingers. Every touch traveled straight to my pussy. He flicked his thumbs over the twin nubs, plump and sensitized from my fantasy play. My clit jumped in response, aching for more direct stimulation. I squeezed his cock, trying to get the message across, but he seemed mesmerized by my breasts. Urgency overcoming shyness, I grabbed one of his hands and dragged it to the hungry cleft between my legs.

Here,” I whispered. “I need you here.”

He spread his fingers, opening my soaked folds. One digit stroked my clit. Another penetrated deep into my cunt. Exquisite sensation washed over me. I ground my pussy against his hand, trying to force him deeper. He rubbed his cock against my thigh, painting it with his pre-cum.

We managed to stagger over to the bed without letting go of one another and tumbled onto the mattress, Che on top. He weighed no more than Laurel. His cock fit neatly between my thighs. The bulb mashed against my pubis, sending shock waves rippling through me. Braced above me, he bent to kiss me while his cock tried to work its way into my pussy.

Wait!” This time I listened to the inner voice, despite my arousal. “Do you have a condom?”

He sat back on his haunches, looking miserable and needy. “No. Don't you?”

I'm a lesbian, remember?” I regretted the words as soon as they left my lips. Especially since they weren't strictly true.

Che's face turned bitter. “I'm sorry. I misunderstood. I shouldn't have bothered you.” He started to disentangle his limbs from mine. I grabbed his wrist, pulling him closer.

No, don't go. I want you, really I do...”

You don't trust me. Because I come from a poor country you think I'm diseased.”

Baby, it's not you.” I brushed his hair out of his eyes. “It would be the same with anyone. But look, even if we don't have a condom, you don't have to leave. Turn around. Let me suck you. And you can lick me. God, I'm so horny, just the thought is almost enough to make me come.”

November News (#giveaway #newreleases #comingsoon)


Oak Leaves

Greetings, readers! Just some quick notes to let you know what I’ve been up to lately, and what’s coming in the next few months.

New Releases

Ive started a new series called Asian Adventures, erotic romance shorts set in various eastern locales. Asian Adventure Book 1, Singapore Fling, is out now! A lively, humorous, ever-so-slightly kinky tale about the connection between a Thai entrepreneur and the Singaporean CEO with whom shes trying to negotiate a deal, Singapore Fling will transport you into the heart of the Lion City.


I also contributed to (and edited) the brand new paranormal erotica anthology from ERWA, the Erotica Readers & Writers Association, entitled Unearthly Delights: Tales of Paranormal Desire.

A ripple in the air. Invisible fingers caress your skin. Ancient magic kindles insatiable lust. Supernatural powers thrill the senses and expose secret obsessions.
 

My story, “Underground”, is a sensual, passionate tale about a woman whose needs can only be satisfied by a creature of the night. It’s just one of eight amazing tales of demons, ghosts, vampires, and more. The book is only 99 cents for the next week, so get your copy today!

Coming Soon

I plan to release the next Asian Adventure book the third week in November. Citadel of Women, set in Cambodia, is a poignant, romantic tale about lovers from two wildly different backgrounds. You can read a pre-release excerpt here: http://www.lisabetsarai.com/citadelex.html


Also in November, Excessica will be publishing a revised version of my second novel, re-titled Mirandas Masks. Betrayed and abandoned by her first lover, shy and studious Miranda Cahill freezes in response to any sexual attention from someone she knows and likes. During the day, she works diligently on her doctoral thesis. At night, though, she finds herself drawn into increasingly extreme sexual encounters with strangers. Her anonymous secret life begins to take over when she discovers that the masked seducer she meets in a sex club and the charismatic young professor courting her are the same man.

Mirandas Masks is an erotic romance, with the emphasis onerotic. It includes a wide variety of sexual scenarios, as the heroine gradually learns to trust both her body and her heart.



Finally, before the end of the year, Ill be publishing a brand new novella entitled Hot Brides in Vegas. This is just-for-fun, over-the-top romantic erotica, set in Larry Archers world of sensual excess at The Foxs Den gentlemans club. Heres the blurb:


Never underestimate the power of a horny bride.

Francesca Torellis tycoon father is throwing a lavish Las Vegas wedding for his only child. Her fiancé Jake and his buddies set out for a stag night, exploring the fleshpots of Sin City. Meanwhile, Fran and her bridesmaids Laura and Chantal are stuck at the resort under the watchful eye of her stern Aunt Giulia, who has promised her brother that Franny will come to the altar a virgin.

Frustrated and annoyed by these double standards, the young women hatch a plan to escape their chaperone and have some fun of their own. With the help of a susceptible concierge, a butch ex-cop limo driver and a scandalous French couturiere, they find their way to The Foxs Den, the most exclusiveand outrageous—gentlemen’s club in the city. Owner Larry Archer and his crew of strippers, bouncers, voyeurs and sluts are more than happy to welcome the delectable trio as contestants performing at the club’s famous Amateur Night.

The gleeful permissiveness of the Den challenges the women’s assumptions and undermines their inhibitions. Complications ensue when Jake and his groomsmen arrive to find Fran in the midst of her strip act. Then Aunt Giulia crashes the party, determined to save her virgin niece, and things get really sticky—both figuratively and literally.

Will love triumph? Will Francesca be drawn over to the dark side? Is there a difference?



Sound entertaining? Believe me, it is—though not for the faint of heart!
