I must say I'd buy this from the cover alone!
Take it away, S.J.
*****
Five things with S.J. Maylee and the
characters from UNTANGLE ME
At
first glance my characters may only have a few things in common, but their
connection is as deep as they come. Let’s look at five things that played a
part in untangling them.
- Hard Work. Both Seth
and Ivy have been working hard at their careers and they both need to make
time for play. If this sounds familiar maybe you need to untangle your
schedule too. They went out for a night of music and dancing.
- Family
Loyalty.
Ivy’s loyalty to her father drives many of her career decisions. Seth’s
mom shared some wise words and they led him to the path of success.
Family, no matter if it’s built by blood or another connection, can have
deep and beneficial impact.
- Game Time. They may
not cheer for the same sports team, but Seth and Ivy enjoy the game.
- Giving
Spirit.
Both of their lives have improved after receiving assistance from others
and in turn they both enjoy giving back. I hope you are in a position to
share this holiday season.
- A Loving
Heart.
Sometimes life pushes you towards the one thing you swore you wouldn’t
want. A lonesome heart can certainly be stubborn, especially when things
are tangled and messy. You’ll have to read UNTANGLE ME to find out if Seth
and Ivy listen to their hearts.
Ivy’s revenge on the people behind her family’s downward spiral is simple and it’s working. There’s no need to long for help from the wealthy business owners who turned their backs on her father. Ivy may be worn out, but she’s finding herself again after joining the local BDSM club.
Seth has it all. He has homes around the world and the little red speedster he dreamed of as a little boy, but none of the things he can buy satisfy him, not the socialites hanging on his arm or the submissives falling at his feet. Then, he hires Ivy to plan his next event.
Seth and Ivy enjoy each other’s company in and out of the planning stages for Seth’s charity event. Their playful bets lead them to a first date. When their secret kinks are revealed, the pair fall deep, but it’s not meant to last. Past hurts come back to haunt Ivy. Now, it’s time for Seth to use all he’s learned, regardless if he can win back the girl.

UNTANGLE ME EXCERPT:
Where was Seth?
Once in the center of the dance floor
she turned in a circle, looking every direction.
There.
From the center seat at the bar,
Seth’s direct stare held her captive. A new song excited the crowd and cheers
surrounded them, but neither of them paid it any attention.
His jacket and tie were gone, giving
her a closer look at his all-male body. The top button on his white shirt was
undone. She wanted to undo the rest and get a glimpse at what lay underneath.
Round shoulders tapered to his waist. She bit her lip as she imagined his
length.
He made no move to come to her, his
elbow still rested on the bar. He was a man waiting for the world to come to
him.
Not the world. Her.
The comfortable confidence and the
heat shining in his eyes turned her on. She swayed her hips to the hypnotic
beat. Her hands felt their way up her thighs, around her hips, and an inch past
her waist, he got up and walked towards her.
In no time, his feet stepped in
between hers and together they rocked to the music. The drums and base from the
band pushed a rhythm into her body, driving her desire. Their fingers
interlaced. She snuggled closer and breathed in his clean musky scent.
She wanted to touch him, but he kept a
hold on her hands. He pushed them both behind her, causing her back to arch and
her breasts to press deliciously into his hard body. Heat rolled through her.
She let her head fall back, exposing her neck.
His lips brushed across her
collarbone. They continued to rock back and forth, their hips swaying and
rubbing together. He took her wrists in one hand and his other stroked down her
neck, over her shoulder, caressed the side of her breast, and around her waist
to land on her butt. He squeezed her ass and pressed her into the hard ridge of
his cock. She lowered her chin and moaned as she took in his expression filled
with raw desire. A slow devilish smile lit his features and sent a tremble
through her.
The song ended and another began while
they continued their dance. He let go of her hands and she wrapped them around
his neck. Both of his hands molded her ass. She nuzzled his neck, taking a
nibble and a few kisses as she breathed him in. She wanted more.
Lots more.
She made her way closer to his mouth.
Before she stole a kiss, she looked into his eyes. His brown eyes had darkened
to the color of night, matching his hair. She sucked on her lower lip.
“You know what you’re doing, right?”
he asked.
“I know I want you.”
“The Masters work the back rooms on
club nights. But we can stay on the dance floor all night, if you want.”
“You’re talking about the one on one
rooms?” She sucked in a breath.
“I don’t think this crowd is prepared
to see what I want to do to you.”
“Can we go back there? I want to go
back there.” She looked directly into his eyes.

Thank you, Doris!! I agree. Sour Cherry Designs made a fabulous cover for me. I love both of the covers they've done for me actually. I'm a lucky girl. :)
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed the excerpt. I like that Seth and Ivy have more things than they thought in common.
ReplyDeleteSweet. Thanks! They sure do have plenty in common and yet so completely stubborn. They were a lot of fun to write.
DeleteI see what you mean about that cover and the excerpt is sizzling. It's always great for characters to have somethings in common. It helps to build a foundation for their relationship.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to read it!
Thank you! They really needed that foundation too. I hope you do read it and enjoy it too. :D
