Kink In Erotic Romance: Guilty Pleasure or Forbidden Fruit? Part 2 + GC Giveaway!
Welcome to Part II of BLI’s Kink in Erotic Romance: Guilty Pleasure or Forbidden Fruit?
This week I’m going to be rambling um chatting about:
Voyeurism, Exhibitionism & Orgies…
Oh My!
To try and increase my knowledge before tackling this post I did some reading about voyeurism and exhibitionism from a clinical perspective and was surprised to discover that these fetishes fall under the psychiatric realm of paraphilias which are recurrent, intense, sexually-arousing fantasies, urges or behaviors generally involving nonhuman objects, the suffering or humiliation of oneself or one’s partner, or children or other non-consenting persons. Yikes! Hopefully in the hands of a good storyteller, we don’t find the suffering or humiliation of one’s partner or especially children in erotic romantic fiction. But the key word here is consensual.

In this fun, scorching-hot eBook original romance by Ruthie Knox, a cross-country bike adventure takes a detour into unexplored passion. As readers will discover, Ride with Me is not about the bike!
When Lexie Marshall places an ad for a cycling companion, she hopes to find someone friendly and fun to cross the TransAmerica Trail with. Instead, she gets Tom Geiger — a lean, sexy loner whose bad attitude threatens to spoil the adventure she’s spent years planning.
Roped into the cycling equivalent of a blind date by his sister, Tom doesn’t want to ride with a chatty, go-by-the-map kind of woman, and he certainly doesn’t want to want her. Too …

Raised on rumours of The Devil of Jedburgh, Breghan McAllen doesn’t want an arranged marriage to the beast. The arrogant border laird is not the romantic, sophisticated husband Breghan dreams of—despite the heat he stirs within her.
In need of an heir, Arran has finally agreed to take a wife, but when he sees Breghan’s fragile beauty, he’s furious. He will not risk the life of another maiden by getting her with child. Lust prompts him to offer a compromise: necessary precautions, and handfasting for a year and a day, after which Breghan will be free. For a chance to control her own future, Breghan makes a deal with the Devil.
Passion quickly turns to love, but Arran …

Guestpost: Scottish Historical Romance by Claire Robyns + Giveaway
Today we welcome Claire Robyns to Book Lovers Inc, her latest historical romance, The Devil of Jedburgh (lookout for our review which is also going up today), released on the 6th February 2012. Claire is here today to talk about the uniqueness of historical romance revolving around Scotland! Over to you Claire…
Fiction writers make stuff up. That’s what we do. We make up people, places, names, events and faces. And then we make up families to fit our people and their lives into. Except in Scottish Historical Romance. I don’t think I’ve read a Scottish historical with a fictional clan and I’m no exception to that rule. I’ve tried, I really have, once I even got my clan map out and figured out where to squeeze my fantasy clan into… and then I just couldn’t do it.

When two frozen hearts collide…
Emma Reed closed her heart to love years ago after a lifetime spent getting kicked around foster homes and bad relationships. Now she’s on a mission to prove she deserves her recent award to paint a mural for a research base in Antarctica. Nothing and no one is going to get in her way.
After months working in recovery zones around the world, Hunter Wilson planned to escape everything this holiday season by rebuilding a lab at the Kiwi Research Base. Alone. No to family, no to fun. It’s isolation not intimacy he’s aching for. But when he sees the determined artist, that ache becomes an urge – after all, shouldn’t someone show her what two people can do with twenty-four hours of …

Interview: Natalie Anderson + Giveaway
Natalie Anderson, author of Melt
Think you know winter? You don’t know winter until you’ve checked out the dry, frozen depths of Antarctica, friend. So says author Natalie Anderson in her latest book, Melt. In this sweet tale, two icy, closed-off hearts start to thaw after they meet and get to know each other in one of the most icy, closed-off places on earth. Today at BLI, Natalie talks a bit about her inspirations behind the Antarctica-based book, and she shares some of her commonalities (and differences!) with the characters she created in this story. Please give her a warm (pun intended ^_^) welcome!
Alisha: In your book Melt, you describe all types of things about Antarctica: the various modes of transportation, the facilities, the types of people and functions found there heck, even some of the social functions! How do you know so much about this place?
