A Misbehaving Giveaway!

 


Blast the confetti cannon! It's release day for Good Girls Don't Misbehave! Woohoo!!! I loved getting back into my Inked & Kinked world, and yes, if you're familiar with it you're going to get to see some familiar faces! I also might have snuck in some Easter eggs from another series of mine. ;) It was super important to me to give Jess the book AND hero she deserved. And Marc? Well, I'm a little bit in love with the wisecracking son of a bitch. Heh. So yeah, Jess has her hands full with that one. Sorrynotsorry.

If you get a chance to read Good Girls, I'd love to know what you think! In the meantime, I've got a snazztastic giveaway for ya'll--An autographed print copy of Inked & Kinked (Naughty Girls Do & Bad Boys Do It Better) and a $10 Amazon gift card. Just enter via the handy-dandy Rafflecopter at the end of this post. Good luck!


Good Girls Don't Misbehave

The trouble with five-year dry spells? They make you do cringe-worthy things. For Jess McDermott, it’s mistaking a hot stranger for the male escort she hired. Oh, and one other teensy problem. The sinful devil responsible for those toe-curling O’s…happens to be her new boss.


Marc Winchester doesn’t do commitment. Unfortunately, the same can’t be said for blind dates. Thanks to a matchmaking mother dead set on curing his playboy ways, he’s faced with a night of agonizing small talk and zero sparks. The last thing he expects? His date to be anti-relationships, and all for getting naked and horizontal with him instead.


It’s a match made in heaven—until they realize they hooked up with the wrong person. Now Jess is desperate to forget that night and Marc. An impossible task, even without the added complication of his family purchasing the nursery she manages. In other words,  they’re stuck with each other and a combustible chemistry that shows no signs of withering.


Falling in bed together once? A mistake. Doing it again? Inevitable. Only this time they’re risking the one thing they can’t afford to lose—their hearts.

It's Release Day For Triple Trouble!


 BUY NOW FROM:

AMAZON      APPLE BOOKS    B&N    KOBO    GOOGLEPLAY     SMASHWORDS

Hudson McKay—almost reformed bad boy and reigning king of trouble. Forfeiting that tarnished crown? A daily struggle. Blame it on Stacia Colton and Cal Haverstock…two people he shouldn’t have effed up fantasies about. For starters, he’s Stacia’s boss. If that’s not complicated enough, his kid brother ditched her at the altar. It’d be a damn miracle if Stacia doesn’t believe all McKays are raging A-holes. 

Then there’s Cal. Hudson’s best friend and business partner. AKA: The offbeat Viking teddybear with a heart of gold who’s also responsible for turning Hudson’s life around when he hit rock bottom. In other words, if he gave in to his depraved urges where Cal and Stacia are concerned, it’d be disastrous. The worst decision of his life. And he’s made plenty of those to make him an expert. Including that racy video of him, 
ahem, indulging in some solo action. The same video he didn’t count on resurfacing, much less landing on Cal’s and Stacia’s radar.

Now the two people he’s pledged not to touch are offering him the kind of trouble he can’t afford. Or resist…even if giving in could cost them everything.

I'm so excited, y'all! I've been waiting forever for this day to come and I know you have to! I absolutely fell in love with this book and these characters. Riding along on their journey gave me So. Many. Feels. I'm not gonna lie--I might have ugly cried a few times. Okay, I *probably* do that with just about every book I write, but this one brought on a few more tears than usual. Don't worry, it's not a sob fest book. I'm just a HUGE sap. There's also some pretty darn sexy times mixed in with some funny times. If you enjoyed Triple Knockout  there's a good chance you'll enjoy Triple Trouble too. And yes, there's a few cameos from all those other lovable Make Mine A Menage cast members as well as a few Easter eggs from another certain series of mine. Seriously, it was so much freakin' fun writing this book! I can't wait to hear what y'all think.

Hugs and happy reading!

Update

Hey, all. I’m long overdue for posting an update and I’m sorry for being MIA for most of the last year. Unfortunately, my health situation hasn’t improved since I last posted about the continuing ordeal with daily headaches and dizziness. I’m still dealing with all of it, along with a few new weird symptoms. I was finally able to get seen by a neurologist and she suspects I might have Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension. I’m scheduled for an MRI and a visit with a neuro ophthalmologist. The only definitive way to diagnose the disease though is with a lumbar puncture, so at some point I might have to get that done too.  I’m not going to lie. I’m scared, stressed, exhausted, and in a fair amount of pain pretty much 24/7. I keep hoping I’ll wake up miraculously cured one morning. I’d love to feel normal again. Even if it’s just my weird version of normal before all of this started up. 

 

I’m still writing when I can, but the book releases are having to be pushed out quite a bit. I’m so sorry for that but there is not much I can do about it at this point. Trust me, I’m desperate to get Triple Trouble wrapped up. I love that book and want y’all to be able to read it and hopefully fall in love with it too. In the meantime, if you know anyone who might like my brand of smexy and zany, me and my whimpering bank account would really appreciate any reader recs you could throw my way. 

 

Hugs to you all.

Update

Hey, all. This is going to be a bummer update, so apologies in advance. Back in August I went into Urgent Care to get treated for extreme head pressure, pain and dizziness that'd been bothering me for about a week. At first I assumed it was related to my EHS but the dizziness was something new and extremely scary so I figured I better not blow it off. They put me on a prednisone burst and sent me home. Since that day, I've been to two additional Urgent Cares and a trip to the ER and I still don't have any conclusive answers as to what is going on with me. The dizziness has mostly let up and is really only an issue sometimes when I'm lying down. The headaches are pretty much a daily presence, as is the anxiety that goes along with them. Sleep...yeah, that's not happening so much. In other words, I'm pretty much an effed up mess right now. 

That brings me to the part of this post that has me ready to cry. I was really hoping to be able to release Triple Trouble on schedule but as some of you are probably aware I already had to push the date to December. Although it's the absolute last thing I want to do, I've made the decision to pull the preorder on Amazon.  I still plan to release Triple Trouble, and hopefully it will be no later than the first part of January. Please know that this is NOT an easy decision for me and I hate that I'm letting my readers down in any way. I'm keeping the preorder up on the other vendors and I will let you all know when the book goes live everywhere. 

Hugs,

Jodi

Double Dirty Release Day + a Giveaway!



Happy Friday, everyone! I hope y'all had a wonderful holiday. I'm still in recovery mode from whatever this cold/flu bug that's been going around, BUT today is a big day for me so I'm dragging my sicko butt out of bed to celebrate my brand spanking new release. WOOHOO!!! I'm FREAKIN' ECSTATIC to finally get to share Double Dirty with you all. This book has everything I love in a story: Dirty sexy times, tons of humor, and a perverted, porn-addicted parrot.  Also, it has HOT IRISHMEN.

I know, right about now you're probably thinking to yourself, "Holy parrot balls, how can I get my hands on this book?" Well, I just happen to have some handy dandy links below to help you out with that situation. I also have a couple of other things you might want to check out.  Over at Romance Free Reads, you can score a bunch of awesome romance reads for absolutely FREE. Make sure to check it out today, though, because many of these books may only be free for today.  Secondly, I'm giving away a $10 Amazon giftcard to celebrate Double Dirty hitting the cyber shelves. Make sure to enter via the Rafflecopter form at the bottom of this post. Good luck, everyone!

*********************************************************************************


Sawyer and Knox Sullivan. AKA: The Double Dirty. With a nickname like that, it’s no wonder they’re the top requested male escorts at Hunks for Hire. Andie Norris knows better than anyone to steer clear of the wild Irish brothers, thanks to her mom, who co-runs Hunks for Hire. But the dirty duo’s exploits are the perfect inspiration for Andie’s comic web series and the forbidden fuel for her fantasies. Fantasies she gets to live out week after week…and no one will ever know.

Hands off—it’s the unspoken rule between Knox and Sawyer when it comes to Andie. Pushing things past the flirt zone is only asking for trouble. For starters, her mom would kill them. And rightfully so. They’d have to be the biggest a-holes alive to corrupt Andie with a hot, filthy threesome. But apparently that’s exactly what they’re doing, judging from their naughty antics on her web serial. She thought they’d never uncover her little secret? Newsflash—fate always bites you in the arse. Now all bets are off. Andie is about to find out that when it comes to the Double Dirty, there’s no substitute for the real deal.

A Long Overdue Update

Hello, friends! As the title of my blogpost implies, this is a long overdue update from me. I'm sure many of you have noticed that I've been pretty quiet lately. A handful of people are aware of the reason for me not being around as much as I used to be. I decided it was time--way past time--to share my story with everyone.

I'm not someone who really likes to talk about my struggles, particularly health related. It just feels like I'm being a big bummer downer  if I unload that stuff on anyone. Which is why I tend to either downplay what's going on, or even joke about it. I won't do that this time, though. For a couple of reasons. Number one: I owe you guys the unvarnished, vulnerable me for this one. No sugarcoating the situation. Number two: this post might actually help others. I hope it does.

Some necessary background first. About two years ago, I noticed that my inflammation issues were getting progressively worse. Additionally, I was exhausted all of the time and would lose my focus constantly. Fibro runs in my family, so I figured it could be that, along with chronic fatigue. Then the 90 minute hot flashes arrived. I'd get them several times a day. Okay, maybe it's perimenopause. (Sorry, yes, this post is likely to get TMI. We're all adults here. <~~~I know, who thought those words would ever come out of my mouth? UGH!) Anyway, I figured I had my culprit. Or culprits, as the case might be. And it might very well have been the case to a degree, but it didn't occur to me then that there could be something else behind it all. Stirring the shitpot, so to speak.

My symptoms continued, the constant brain fog increasingly getting worse. There would be weeks when I'd be sitting at my computer and be forced to re-read what I'd just typed a second ago. I was in the middle of one of these unfocused spells when I was hit with what I can only describe as a red-hot drill bit being forced into my temples and my brain. A severe hot flash hit me at the same time, only this time it was accompanied with a strange pressure in my head and a tremor throughout my body that wouldn't stop. Terrified out of my mind by what was happening, I crawled to the bathroom, on the verge of either passing out or puking. All I knew was something was very wrong with me. As soon as I could get the energy to make it to the phone, I would call for an ambulance. I include this part because anyone who knows me knows that I'm a real stubborn jackass and it takes a lot to convince me to even see a doctor. The fact that I was even considering a trip to ER was very terrifying for me.

Almost the instant I was inside the bathroom, the sensations in my head lessened and the tremors stopped completely. I didn't trust myself to move, so I continued to lay on the floor until I felt well enough to go for my cellphone. The moment I touched my phone, the sensations returned. Only this time I could literally feel an electrical sensation pass from my phone, travel through my arm, and jab right into my eardrum, intensifying that red-hot drill bit in my brain. I pulled my hand away from my phone, and the sensation eased off again. I wouldn't say I had a lightbulb moment right then, but I did think it was odd and more than a slight coincidence that I sometimes felt sick if I spent more than an hour on my cellphone. Right then I started thinking about what else I spent a lot of time on. Way more than my cellphone. Something I had been using right up until the red hot drill bit made an appearance. My laptop. The same device I was always so brain fogged around.

Despite the signs my body had been giving me for years, I'd never once considered that I might have a sensitivity to electronic devices. To be honest, while I didn't scoff at people who claimed EMF radiation was a potential health hazard, I did think maybe they were making a mountain out of a mole hill. I can absolutely say now that isn't the case. Not for me, anyway. And I suspect it's the same for many others out there who are electro-sensitive. Many who might not even realize it. That brings me back to my primary reason for sharing my story. If you notice something doesn't feel right in your body when you're around certain devices, PAY ATTENTION. That migraine or brain fog once in a while might not be linked to a sensitivity, but if it's happening all of the time it could definitely be a link.

It's took me another six months and then some to recover and heal from the toxic overload I'd unknowingly exposed myself to. I'm not cured by any means, though. I'm what is termed EHS. I have a hyper sensitivity to EMFs, wifi being the worse for me. A lot of folks out there would like you to believe this isn't a real thing. I get why. Until something like this happens to you, it's easy to think it's mumbo jumbo. I wish with every ounce of my being that it was mumbo jumbo.

Living with EHS is not easy. Sometimes it feels like a living hell. Short of bunking in a cave, I'm always going to have some exposure to EMFs. The toughest part for me is the toll it can take on me on an emotional level. The chronic fatigue and brain fog have improved since making some necessary lifestyle changes. No more wireless computing. Everything is hardwired now. But even with that my tolerance can be limited. I don't get to chat with my friends--with you guys--as much as I would like. I'm able to write half the words I used to in a sitting, if I'm lucky. And believe me, coming up with those words was tough enough without adding the EHS into the mix. My book deadlines have suffered massively. Which only makes me feel worse. I know I've let many of you down. If you have a pre-ordered book you're waiting on I deeply apologize for making you wait. I hate doing that to you, more than you could ever know. All I can say is I'm doing what I can every day to get them closer to done. I will not sacrifice quality and put out a subpar book that doesn't have my heart and love in it. You guys deserve the best from me and that's a promise I will always honor.  My goal is still to have Double Dirty released before or shortly after the new year. I love the crazy, wonderful ride Andie and her wild Sullivan boys are taking me on. I hope you love it too! And for all of my dear, amazing friends and loved ones who've pulled me out of some pretty ugly funks this whole trying time--I love and appreciate you all so much. I truly don't know what I'd do without you.

So, now that I've bummed y'all out with my big bummer self, I'm going to sign off on this epically long post and get my butt in chair writing something other than epically long bummer downer posts.

Lots of love and hugs,

Jodi
