ever have in common with the brash carpenter Kurt Davis?
The sexy sprite Meghan Keenan, that’s what.

Welcome to MFRW Hooks, where the authors of Marketing for Romance Writers share snippets from their stories to entice you into wanting more. Be sure to click on the links at the end to travel!

Did we whet your appetite? Last week’s Hook featured Cat (Caitlin) watching Meg sunbathe. And in case you don’t follow MFRW’s Steam Hop, feel free to be a voyeur on one of the spicier scenes at this link from yesterday: https://wp.me/p9O7pv-37J

Caitlin’s never really thought about loving a woman before, but Meg’s charm is about to hook her. Here’s a peek into Meg’s mind in the next moment after last week’s Hook:

EXCERPT

Peering through shuttered eyelashes, Meg Keenan nearly purred. She’d seen the tall figure of Cat Shanahan leave the curtained window. Apparently the lanky redhead had no idea the sun struck the window in a way that showed her slim form off to nice advantage.

Meg snickered. Why else would she choose this particular time of day to come out onto the sundeck? Because the sun shining on the window exposed Cat to her view almost as much as she was exposed to Cat’s.

At least she had the woman’s attention. Meg closed her eyelids and exhaled slowly. Soon she’d have Cat’s body.

Stretching languidly, Meg smiled and sat up. Her plan was proceeding quite nicely. Kurt had been pissed she’d rented the professor’s upstairs apartment. Though Meg was quite comfortable being a townie, Kurt carried a chip on his shoulder about town-gown tensions. Was that part of why he’d never gone to college in spite of doing so well in high school? Instead, he and Jack Mobly had established a construction company. At twenty-four, Kurt had a certain amount of control over his life that Meg envied. He didn’t seem to care that there was a world outside Burntside, Wisconsin.

She, on the other hand, needed to see beyond the horizon. She hadn’t found her ticket out just yet, but she knew she’d find a way. Fortunately, they both knew that.

BLURB

Levelheaded English Professor Caitlin Shanahan has finally earned tenure and purchased the century-old two-story house of her dreams in the college town of Burntside, Wisconsin—at thirty-four, she’d better face facts: her future is teaching college and writing plays, not falling in love. So why is she so drawn to foxy little hometown actress Meghan Keenan, who’s rented her upstairs apartment, or worse, to the girl’s gorgeous hunk of a lover Kurt Davis, a carpenter who’s never even been to college?

Twenty-year-old Meg has a plan. First she’ll seduce the reluctant professor, then she’ll share her sexual delights with both Cat and her brawny carpenter, and when she’s successfully brought them together, she can make her escape and explore what’s beyond the only town she’s ever lived in.

Kurt can’t stand the up-tight professor who’s hired him to build a gazebo and refurbish her old house—the house he wanted for himself. Even if Meg’s scheme succeeds, he knows Caitlin would never look at him twice. No need to go there in his fantasies…

“I’d be devastated if you left now.” #MFRWSteam #FF #LGBTQ #Romance

by

Welcome to the MFRW Steam Hop,
where the authors of Marketing for Romance Writers
entice you with steamy excerpts from their erotic romance stories.

Scroll to the end for more of this week’s tempting excerpts

There’s a first time for everything. Catlin, a heroine in Seducing Cat, is 34 and single. She has never considered the possibility of loving a woman – but it turns out Meghan Keenan, Caitlin’s upstairs renter, is not only very persuasive but very enticing.

EXCERPT

Feeling better after showering, Caitlin donned her nightshirt, slid into bed, and reached for the novel on the nightstand. One of her favorite CDs filled the room with soft music that hopefully would not only drown out the noise from upstairs but also help her fall asleep.

She’d read three pages before she heard a soft rap over the strains of a piano concerto. Dumbfounded, she gaped at Meg entering the room and closing the door behind her. An oversized t-shirt fell to mid-thigh. Meg’s obviously budding nipples pressed against the fabric.

Coming to a halt by the bed, Meg smiled softly. “I wanted to see how you were doing.”

“I—I’m fine,” Caitlin stammered. “I thought you’d be with Kurt. It is the weekend.”

“Kurt’s busy this weekend. I’m alone. Just like you.”

“Oh.” If breathing was a necessity for life, she was in deep trouble.

“Is it okay that I’m here?” Meg asked, her eyes filled with hope.

Caitlin smacked her lips and nodded.

“I would never force you,” Meg said, brushing the back of her hand against Caitlin’s bare arm.

“I know,” Caitlin whispered, trying to breathe.

“May I join you?”

Patting the bed beside her, Caitlin struggled to find her voice. “I’d be devastated if you left now.”

Meg’s broad smile made Caitlin’s flesh tingle. She held out her hand and helped Meg climb onto the bed. She sighed. There was no looking back now. She’d have plenty of time to analyze tomorrow.

Then there would be time for self-recriminations, if need be. Now she just wanted to hold and explore the gift of this young woman.

“I was afraid our kiss might have frightened you,” Meg said, sliding a finger across Caitlin’s cheek.

“I was afraid it might be our last kiss.”

MEGHAN’S PLAYHOUSE SERIES BLURB

When the effervescent Meghan Keenan swept into our lives and condescended to let us start putting her story on the page, we had no idea what we were in for. In fact, all we set out to do was write a romp; turns out we couldn’t really do that. Characters have a way of taking over, and Meg wasn’t satisfied with just being a piece of fluff having hot sex scenes. Even in her first book, the erotic romance novella Seducing Cat, she’s all about breaking social class barriers while she’s having a good time. She’s pretty egalitarian – men, women, carpenter, professor, it doesn’t matter to her. The world is her oyster and she’s going to enjoy every tasty morsel. The six-book series begins when she’s almost 21 and follows her erotic matchmaking adventures for nearly a decade. We promise she does get a happy ending in book six, but we’re keeping its details secret. Meg gives good advice – be open to surprise.

A match made in heaven? #SnippetSunday #SnipSun #Steamy #Romance

Welcome to Snippet Sunday – ten sentences from all your favorite romance authors!

This month I’m featuring Seducing Cat, Book one in a series about the modern-day Aphrodite, Meghan Keenan. Today’s snippet picks up with the last sentence from last Sunday’s snippet – Caitin is still at the upstairs window, pondering her renter, Meghan, sunbathing on the lawn below.

EXCERPT

At thirty-four, Caitlin was ready for a few changes.

Not too many, of course. The first big change had been buying her big old four-square house. She loved it, even if it had cost more than she’d wanted to spend, and even if it did need some serious restoration.

She’d made the second change more reluctantly. After seeing the bills piling up because of her passion for the old place, she’d decided to take in a boarder. The upstairs, with the exception of her office, was now an apartment.

Fortunately, Meg’s aunt had tired of having her niece living with her at about the same time Caitlin’s apartment was ready to rent. It seemed like a match made in heaven. She had the space available, and Meg could readily afford the rent.

It helped that Caitlin knew Meg from the theater. She was exactly the kind of young woman she wanted for a renter—innocent, if not naïve, a young woman who smiled a lot and wanted to please.

Welcome to Snippet Sunday – ten sentences from all your favorite romance authors!

This month I’m featuring Seducing Cat, Book one in a series about the modern-day Aphrodite, Meghan Keenan, the “renter” in question in today’s excerpt.

EXCERPT

Set-up: Caitlin is peering out her upstairs window at her new renter, sunbathing on the lawn below…

The auburn-haired twenty-year-old looked so decadent and yet so innocent. During the day, she was a teller at the Community Bank. Many evenings she performed under Caitlin’s tutelage at the Community Playhouse. Audiences loved Meg—her endearing, playful, effervescent personality won over fans and would-be critics alike.

If Caitlin had her way, Meg would refine those innate skills with a college education, but the girl didn’t seem very interested in academic studies.

Caitlin shook her head. Academics was about the only life she’d known. Now, as a recently tenured English professor, she had the satisfaction of giving herself permission to finally back off the throttle a little bit. Hence she’d gotten involved with the Community Playhouse. She’d grown up in community theater, but gave it up to write a dissertation and then to hone her teaching skills and produce the required number of publications to achieve tenure.

At thirty-four, she was ready for a few changes.

What happens in Vegas…

Swingers Dan and Ginger head to Las Vegas to celebrate Ginger’s fiftieth birthday. Through their friends back home, they’ve scored a free week at a posh Vegas resort condominium. They fill their days with every iconic Las Vegas experience they can dream up. But by night? They’re determined not to leave Vegas without sampling what it has to offer in the erotically charged swing lifestyle. A Vegas swing club beckons – will it live up to their fantasies?

Excerpt

Set Up: The morning after their visit to the swing club.

Déjà vu, all over again.

Ginger wasn’t sure if the thought was part of her dream or part of her waking up, but it made her smile. Her full-body stretch confirmed she had some aching muscles—not really sore, but a soft ache that brought back steamy memories. What a night!

She finally opened her eyes to the sight of Dan holding out a hot mug of coffee. If the scent had awakened her, she had no memory trace.

Dan settled in next to her on the bed, a broad smile on his face that she knew mirrored her own. “What a treat,” she said, “to watch you with Lai last night. She sure is a cracker jack. High energy—wonder if she’s insatiable.”

“Pretty close, I’d say. I’m so glad they want another round before we leave. If we do decide to buy a condo here, it looks like the swinging scene is pretty promising. And you’ve gotta know how much I loved watching you and Lai together. You two were so in sync.”

“I do know.” Ginger snuggled a bit closer and clasped Dan’s free hand with her own. “When we started this adventure, it was mostly so I could act on the bi identity I’d finally become aware of. I had no clue how much watching me with another woman would be a turn-on for you, too.”
