“Tell me what you want. Talk dirty to me.”
For Nora MacGregor, the sinful voice of a stranger gives her permission to explore her deepest fantasies – fantasies that only exist outside her daily drudgery in the science lab. ‘James’, challenges Nora’s icy, clinical ideas about the power of sex. The arrangement – she talks to him and he returns her lost dissertation notes, page by page. What he can’t give her is human touch, tangible sweetness, attributes she finds in the company and gentle romance of Dr. Jarod Reed.
Jarod, who seized an opportune moment and became the …

Last week I was in Orlando for the 2010 National RWA Convention, which was held at the Dolphin Hotel in Disneyworld. I always have a great time at RWA – talk too much, laugh too much, get way too little sleep – and this year was no exception. I don’t think I went to bed before 2 a.m. any night, I laughed so much my cheeks hurt, and …

Today we are very happy to welcome Judith James on Book Lovers,Inc. Judith’s new historical romance Libertine’s Kiss will be released on August 1st! And let me tell you, you don’t want to miss it!!! Bienvenue Judith!
The HEA Lover: Judith can you please tell us a bit about yourself?
Judith: Hi. Thanks so much for inviting me to Book Lovers INC! It’s such a pleasure to be here. Your tag line says it all I think. ‘Bound by the love of books.’ I spent much of my childhood daydreaming or with my head in a book. Books opened up fantastical new worlds I became immersed in and hated to leave, so as soon as I ended one I started another. I developed a love of reading that encompassed history, romance, adventure, fantasy, biography, true life adventure and many …
Ok, so I have a confession to make. I have a bit of OCD when it comes to numbers and even though nowadays it’s much more controlled, there was a point in my life when it was seriously annoying to my friends.
I love odd numbers and don’t really care for even ones. So for example when the volume (in the car radio, doesn’t matter the car) is at an even number it bothers me! A Lot! There was a point in my life when I had to ask the car owner if I could turn it up or down one point so it could be an odd number. I did that even in Taxis LOL. Well, nowadays it still bothers me, but I do my best to ignore it, I promise.
All this got me thinking about some OCD habits related to books. Alphabetizing your shelves, organizing …
