Coming Sooon! Laid Bare Contest Head's Up!

I tried to get the contest widget to post but it won’t let me. So, head on over to my blog and check out the contest I’ll be running for all of July to celebrate the upcoming release of Laid Bare on August 4!

Blurb: Unexpected Desire…

It’s been ten years since clean-cut, sexy-as-hell police officer Todd Keenan had a white-hot fling with Erin Brown, the provocative, wild rocker chick next door. Their power exchange in the bedroom got under his skin. But love wasn’t in the cards just yet…

Now, life has thrown the pair back together. But picking up where they left off is tough, in light of a painful event from Erin’s past. As Todd struggles to earn her trust, their relationship takes an unexpected and exciting turn when Todd’s best friend, Ben, ends up in their bed—and all three are quite satisfied in this relationship without a name. As the passion they share transforms Erin, will it be enough to help her face the evil she thought she had left behind?

Here’s what some folks are saying about LAID BARE…

“Every once in a great while, a book comes along that moves and surprises you in all the best ways. LAID BARE is one of those books for me. I was blown away by Dane’s brilliant rendering of this emotionally-charged, deeply erotic tale of second chances and redemption. I can’t say it enough: I loved this book!” Sylvia Day, nationally bestselling author of Eve of Darkness

“Laid Bare is the hottest thing since Prometheus gave us fire. It’s also a tender love story that wrung my heart with its sweetness. Don’t miss this book.” –Ann Aguirre, national bestselling author of Blue Diablo

“It’s impossible not to love this story. The sex is sizzling, the emotions are raw. Lauren Dane has done it again. Laid Bare, quite simply, ROCKS!” — Megan Hart, author of DEEPER

Crazy Time!

So I’m smack dab in the middle of several things – The biggest thing is that Undercover, my futuristic, menage, erotic romance will be releasing from Berkley Heat December 2. So I’m running toward the street date, trying not to freak that I haven’t done enough, trying not to check my amazon and barnes and noble rankings every three minutes and trying not to fall into the pit of “ONOES! WILL I SELL ANY BOOKS!” But when I get a bit freaked, I can happily check out some of my early reviews and know at least a few people will enjoy Undercover (here are a few because it makes me smile) –

Top Pick from RT Booklovers! Dane has written a sizzling, delicious tale of love lost, found and expanded. The M/F/M triad is as endearing as it is molten hot. The friction between Sera and Ash as they resolve their past is intense, and with Brandt added to the mix, it’s nothing short of explosive. An adrenaline-filled, suspenseful subplot keeps the reader engaged.

Mandy at Fresh Fiction says: UNDERCOVER is a hot, sexy and action-packed piece of writing that will keep you glued to every page wondering what will happen next. A fabulous read!

Chrissy at Romance Junkies gives UNDERCOVER Five Blue Ribbons: Wow! This book rocks! Lauren Dane pulls out all the stops with this soul searing, awe-inspiring read.

Second and third – I’ve got two other books coming out between November 25 and December 23 – Holiday Seduction with Jaci Burton featuring her story Unwrapped and my To Do List coming out in trade paper on November 25 and Sweet Charity, the digital follow up to To Do List, coming out from Samhain on December 23.

Around the periphery of that I’m finishing up Always, a contemporary romance for Samhain, getting ready to start No Reservations, which I’m co-writing with Megan Hart as a follow up to March’s Taking Care of Business and waiting to hear back on several pitches my agent has out. 

Oh and my kids are out of school like every other day and that doesn’t count all the short days they’ve got for conference week and holidays. It’s crazy.

At the same time, every last bit of it is important and wonderful and something I worked hard for and will always remember (well except those half days when I can’t get any work done, LOL).  So things might be busy and crazy but I’m sooo thankful for every book I can write and sell, every time I get a note from a reader or a bookstore who’s enjoyed my writing, for seeing the finished product and knowing I was blessed enough to find a home for it.

So life is busy, yes, but it’s filled with wonderful things and believe you me, I’ll have plenty of things to list next Thursday as we sit around the table and get ready to dig into the turkey (picked it up today so that’s done, yay!).

I hope you’re all having a wonderful autumn filled with blessings big and small. 

PS – Don’t forget to check out my blog from now until December 2! I’m giving away books every single day as well as a pretty nifty grand prize.

Cascadia Wolves: Fated

The next book set in the Cascadia Wolves universe, FATED, is now available from Samhain Publishing!

Just because Fate brings you your perfect mate doesn’t mean it’ll be easy.

Cascadia Wolves series

Could there be any worse fate than a road trip from Seattle to L.A.—with one’s mother—to attend a wedding? Why yes, when one isn’t married yet, like Megan Warden. Toss in a grandmother and a carload of already married sisters and it’s a recipe for sneaking sips of “special” coffee while someone else drives.

Shane Rosario has better things to do than attend a wedding where his father’s relatives will be at him nonstop about getting married and having children. If it weren’t for seeing his anchor bond, Layla, he’d have taken a pass on the entire weekend. It would be easy, since he’s become adept at hiding who and what he is.

When the two weren’t even looking, Fate steps in and before they know it, their bond is sealed. Bonded pair, married in the eyes of their people. Two people tied together in every way. Trouble is, Shane’s not sure he wants all that comes with Megan. And Megan’s certain she’s not willing to live outside her pack, pretending to be human.

The distance between them is more than geographical. It’s a widening gulf rapidly filling with resentment…an emotional divide only acceptance could bridge. Can Shane can accept himself to cross it? Only if they let love take control.
