Hey everyone!
I just received word from one of my editors. Due to some schedule shifting an MS that was supposed to be turned in two weeks from now needs to be in by Monday. So my dears, I must leave you all for the…
I will be checking in on you all soon! Wish me luck!
*Updated to add…another editor from a different house has just sent me an email as well. It looks like I’ll be doing double duty this weekend.*
See you all on Tuesday…LOL. I love this stuff. *WEG*
Later all!
A very dear friend is toughing it out in Iowa amidst the flooding. Her home is south of Cedar Rapids and is, thankfully, on higher ground. For a couple of days there were worries, however. Not that she would get flooded, but that she would have no clean water or electricity. For her and the children that would be devastating. If Cedar Rapids had lost either of their plants, it would have been tragic for most of the state. As it is, my heart goes out to the Cedar Rapids community. So much damage. I asked her if I could send anything and she laughed. All mail to their city is routed through Cedar Rapids. There is no way I can get anything to her at this time. And the roads leading to the state from mine are currently closed off for one reason or another. Grrr. I’ll be watching the weather. Hang in there, Emma.
My heart broke when Katrina hit. In less than 24 hours I was working with 30 other volunteers packing up buses with supplies and sending them on their way. Meanwhile we, the small city of Wichita Falls, Tx, became a major routing station for about 2000 people. We took the overflow from San Antonio and Dallas (who’d already been taking the overflow from Houston). Clothes, food, shelter, reuniting loved ones, and medical attention were the first priority. Job relocation and independence were the next. We absorbed quite a few into our community and helped several more return home after the okays came in from Louisiana and Mississippi. Still others moved on to other cities and towns, leaving behind beautiful memories of their times here.
The entire city of Cedar Rapids is flooded. 9 square miles under water. This situation has me again watching CNN and scoping reuters.com for news.
Shadow Lies, a part of Aspen Mountain Press’s Plain Brown Wrapper short stories, has released today!
Fifteen years should have blurred the edges of her memory, but for Kristiana, there is no relief. A love bite by a vampire has left her enhanced and pissed off. So what does a woman do when her old lover returns and wants to pick up where he left off?
You play to win, of course. As only a woman can.

So, it’s been two weeks and the ants are persistent. It’s been an uphill battle and I have ultimately come out on top…for now. The little buggers will be back, I’m sure of it. In the meantime we ripped out the bushes lining the wall outside and sure enough, I was right…they had holed up in there and were foraging for food. So with their homes uprooted and ant bait around, the ants have dwindled to almost nothing. BTW, foggers don’t tend to work for these little monsters. *sigh*
In the meantime I’ve been tagged by Lexxie, Michelle, JM and several others. I have to work on this one, but it’ll be up soon. Until then, Happy Friday!
*hugs*
Joyfully Reviewed has reviewed Bound Eternally and Spaceport: Bounty!
Jambrea had this to say about Bound Eternally:
Bound Eternally is the third installment of the Bound series and it is action-packed. Not only did Dawn Montgomery give me all the hot sex I could want, she also gave me the action I crave. The build up from the first two books exploded with this third story. I’m not sure if there will be a forth book, but I’ll be looking out for it because Ms. Montgomery sure knows how to spin a tale and leave me wanting for more.

Jambrea reviewed Spaceport: Bounty as well:
Bounty is a sexy romp with a Johnny Mnemonic feel to it. I love a book with action and Dawn Montgomery brings it on with a sexy bounty hunter. A strong female lead is always good for me and Ms. Montgomery knows how to write a strong woman. Poor Mack, all he wanted to do was his job and he gets the shaft because of a cover up! Mack leads Alexis on a great chase and the two are wonderful together. I really enjoyed the feel of this story from the action both in and out of bed.

Shadow Lies, a plain brown wrapper
Fifteen years should have blurred the edges of her memory, but for Kristiana, there is no relief. A love bite by a vampire has left her enhanced and pissed off. So what does a woman do when her old lover returns and wants to pick up where he left off?
You play to win, of course. As only a woman can.
Excerpt:
“Am I going to be playing with myself, Alexander?” She ran a palm down her tight tank top, molding her breast in her hand, squeezing playfully.
He blinked slowly. She could taste his lust in the air. Damn him for making her wait. He undid his cuffs with enough impatience to ease her frustration. His fingers made quick work of the line of buttons running down his chest, and before she could blink, his shirt was on the floor.
She ran an appreciative gaze down his muscled chest. The tank he wore molded to his skin, showing her all the right ridges and curves. Damn. Her memories did him no justice.
Rookery Cove, Ocean’s Call has now released! And I have a contest! Enter the code: OCEAN08 when you purchase this title from Changeling Press and you’ll receive 5% off your order. You’ll also be entered to win a fantastic little home spa package. 
What’s a sexual therapist to do when she finds herself bored with sex?
An invitation to Rookery Cove Aphrodisiacs may be just what the doctor ordered. No worries, no regrets, just relaxation in one of the most beautiful northern coves in the world. But when two delicious men come calling, can Nikita keep things from blazing out of control?
For Connor, watching his mate spiral into darkness is tearing him apart. Nikita brings a breath of fresh air into their lives, reminding Connor of life and love. Now he just has to convince Draven to fall for the doctor…past or no past.
As captain of Rookery Cove’s sole water travel vessel, Draven has it all. No worries, no regrets, no reason to face a history long dead, but it’s a half life. Every day puts him closer to the edge and his lover is at his wit’s end. Nikita’s arrival awakens a dark yearning deep within, one filled with shadows and memories he’d rather never face, but with her soft touch and sexy smile, he’s lost before he knows it.
For the bisexual selkies, Nikita may be exactly what they need.
When the three get together, the heat flaring among them sizzles the night, but when morning comes can it be enough to keep them together? Or will their personal demons tear them apart?
Here is a delicious Excerpt all for you…it’s verra hot, so please click on more to read. All content © Dawn Montgomery.
Nikita narrowed her eyes at the two, stepping away from both men. Connor’s expression gave nothing away, and Draven’s dark eyes flashed his dark sensuality. “I appreciate the offer gentlemen, but I really would love to feed you breakfast.”
Connor’s grin surprised her. “I’ve noticed something about our hellcat, Draven.”
The captain glanced at Connor.
Nikita scoffed. “Hellcat? You have your wires crossed.”
“She takes that tone every time we make her uncomfortable.” Connor’s eyes lit with devilment and Nikita licked her suddenly dry lips.
“You have tells, doctor?” Draven moved around the foyer, drawing her attention to his lithe body. His black hair drifted on the breeze and damn if she didn’t want to wrap her hands in it.
Nikita swallowed and refused to back off. “Doctors don’t have tells. Gamblers do.”
Draven ran his fingertips up his thighs, drawing her attention to his delicious cock stretched against the denim of his jeans. He tugged at his shirt, pulling it free of the waistband. “You think inviting us here wasn’t a gamble?”
Nikita clenched her fists. Draven pushed the door shut with a firm shove.
“Why did you invite us here?” Connor’s question jerked her attention back to the redhead. His shirt dropped from careless fingertips. Nikita couldn’t think past the glow of his creamy body. Sunlight kissed and full of heat.
“For breakfast.” The thick rasp of her voice had her wishing for a drink of something cool and refreshing. All voyeuristic intent vanished. She wanted to taste Connor’s skin.
The heat of Draven’s body molded to her back and Nikita shivered. “I’m famished, doctor.”
Nikita inhaled his spicy scent, and let it soak through her skin and race through her blood. The salty tang of the ocean clung to him. Connor grasped her wrist and nibbled along the edge, tasting her skin. Nikita groaned, loving the way electricity pulsed from that one tiny spot through her body to her clit.
Connor pulled her close and took a deep breath. “You smell so damned good.”
Nikita gave a husky chuckle. “So do you handsome.”
Connor tasted her lips in a soft suckle, lightly scraping his teeth against her sensitive skin. He pulled open her robe, letting it fall to the ground in a pool of dark satin.
Nikita melted into the redhead’s kiss. Calloused fingertips tugged at her stiff nipples making her breath catch in the back of her throat. Connor’s tongue swept in to her open mouth, caressing her tongue with his and swallowing her moan.
Draven’s heat seeped in from behind, branding her with his touch. Fingernails grazed the swell of her breast and Nikita sighed, letting her head fall back on Draven’s chest. “This is the time to tell us no.” Draven’s lips brushed her ear with his whisper.
“Why would I want to do that?” Nikita laughed, breathless at their touches. Her pussy grew warm and heated, the slow response like a warm current flowing through her body.
“Let’s take this to a place with seating.” Draven’s suggestion had them all chuckling.
She led them by their hands to the living room, hoping they didn’t notice her trembling. Draven pulled her wrist and turned her so that she faced his broad chest. His hand cupped her cheek and a work hardened thumb caressed her bottom lip. “You are sure?”
Nikita hesitated, wondering if she should tell him how nervous she was. Talking about this kind of sex was much different than living it, despite her longtime fantasies. She took a deep breath. “I’m sure.”
Connor pressed against her back and nipped at the bend of her shoulder. “You taste delicious.”
Nikita grabbed Connor’s hair with a hand, arching into his touch. Her eyes closed when his teeth scraped against the skin. Her pussy tingled in awareness, slicking within in lust.
He bit down and she groaned. Her head fell back against Connor’s shoulder. Draven bent to take one hardened nipple in his hard mouth, sucking and lightly lathing the tip with his rough tongue. His skilled fingers teased and caressed her other breast. Connor’s hand slid around her hip, caressing the trimmed mound covering her pussy. His talented fingers brushed the lips of her sex and Nikita could feel the wet heat slip through to his touch.
“That’s my girl,” he whispered, slipping the fingertip within. Connor turned her around in his arms with his finger still clenched in her pussy. He added another and they started slowly fucking her cunt, increasing pressure where she needed it the most.
I hope you enjoyed the excerpt. Rookery Cove: Ocean’s Call is available NOW from Changeling Press: http://www.changelingpress.com/product.php?&upt=book&ubid=895
Joyfully Reviewed has reviewed Bound in Lust and Bound in Fury!
Jambrea had this to say about Bound in Lust:
Bound in Lust is HOT! There is no stopping the sexual need in the story. It pulses off the pages. Dawn Montgomery did a wonderful job putting the lust Drake’s character. I know she had me panting!
Bound in Lust is a story that is to be continued. Book two should prove interesting. I can’t wait to go get swept away again.
Read the entire post here.
Jambrea reviewed Bound in Fury as well:
Bound in Fury is just as hot as the first book, Bound in Lust. Bound in Fury continues the story of Elena and Drake and it takes up right where Bound in Lust left off. Dawn Montgomery did a great job showing the inner struggle Elena is going through. Elena and Drake are so smoking hot, they steam up the pages and I love the sexual need between the two. The story doesn’t end here. There is a third book. I can’t wait to see what happens next.
