12 Days of Giveaways – Day 11 – Sweet Thing

 

AND THE WINNER IS… Loann Johnson

CONGRATS! You win the Day 11 Giveaway! Please check your EMAIL!

 

Welcome to my annual 12 DAYS OF GIVEAWAYS! 

If you’re new to this – here’s how it works:

1.   Each day from December 1 through December 12 I will put up a new giveaway HERE on my website with instructions on how to enter, a detailed description of the prize, and some stuff about the book or series. Each giveaway is different and each has ONE WINNER UNLESS you are the winner and you are from Australia or New Zealand.

IMPORTANT – PLEASE READ!

MY GIVEAWAYS ARE ALWAYS OPEN INTERNATIONAL BUT the United States Post Office has stopped all mail delivery to AUS and NZ. Shit is weird BUT you can still win if you’re from AUS or NZ  because each giveaway has a GIFT CARD as well as a physical gift. So if the winner chosen is from AUS or NZ – there will be TWO winners. The AUS/NZ winner will get the GIFT CARD and the second winner will get the physical prize but NO gift card.

2.   Each giveaway runs UNTIL DECEMBER 13.

3.   Winners are CHOSEN and NOTIFIED on December 14. I will be notifying winners in various ways depending on how people enter. Sometimes on FB, sometimes on IG, sometimes in my FB fan group (Shrike Bikes), sometimes via email – and all winners will BE LISTED AT THE TOP OF EACH GIVEAWAY POST HERE ON MY WEBSITE on December 14.

4.   Winners have 24 hours to respond, then another winner will be chosen.

5.   ALL PRIZES WILL BE MAILED ON DECEMBER 15.  If I’m waiting on a winner to respond and they miss the December 15 mail date, that prize will be mailed when I get around to it. I live in the middle of nowhere so a trip to the post office is a “thing” for me. 🙂 So make sure you’re checking for winners on the 14th.

6.   I will send newsletters announcing giveaways on December 1, December 6, December 12, and a Winner newsletter on December 14. I NEVER send this many newsletters in a month so sorry if that feels spammy. I just have quite a few readers who do not do socials and there will be at least three giveaways that do not involve socials in any way. So I need to get the word out.

7.   You can also FOLLOW MY BLOG. I will also make a blog post HERE announcing ALL WINNERS on the 14th. If you want to follow this blog there will be a form at the bottom of each post to do that. Then you get an email when I POST HERE. I don’t do that often – December is the exception because of the 12 Days and my yearly “Wrap-up” post.

NO PURCHASE NECESSARY.

THAT’S IT! I HOPE YOU ALL ENJOY THIS! The world is INSANE right now so I’m just trying to spread some cheer and give back to all of you who support me and enjoy the stories I create.

GIVEAWAY #11

SWEET THING

SWEET THING

(NAUGHTY THINGS BOX SET!)

SWEET THING is a  standalone older-man-very-young-woman sexy romance filled with forbidden lust, too many ‘first times’ to count, inappropriate touching in public, and an angsty, but perfect, HEA. 

RYKER
Aria Amherst lied about her age the first night we met.
But when I kissed her… I knew exactly how old she was.
I wanted more of her.
Until I found out that her father was making a deal with my business partner.
Then I wanted ALL of her.

ARIA
Ryker North blew into my life like a wall of hot, tattooed muscle.
And did I mention he’s thirty-five years old?
And my father is going to kill me when he finds out I’m dating his new client?
It’s… complicated.
But take my word on this. He’s worth every risk I’m taking.

Pretty Thing is new sexy, brother’s-best-friend romance filled with tender moments, second chances, and steamy love scenes that will make you sigh with happiness when you turn the last page!

My best friend made damn sure I knew the rules.
His sister was strictly off limits.
UNTIL NOW.

KALI
Growing up it was always the three of us. Me, my twin brother, Kyle, and our best friend, Aiden. We were inseparable all the way through high school.
But Kyle made damn sure we both know the rules.
I was strictly off limits. Forever.

AIDEN
Every time Kyle caught me lusting after his twin sister, Kali, he reminded me of the rule. “You were my friend first.”
All these years I’ve honored that. I never broke his trust. Until now.
I want Kali. I want to marry her, and have kids with her, and keep her in my bed forever.
But I want Kyle’s blessing too. And that’s something I’ll never get.

WILD THING is a smokin’-hot, sexy story of a runaway princess and her reluctant Prince Charming. A tantalizing tale of forced marriage, captive submission, and a hero who doesn’t know he’s a hero until he meets the girl he was meant to save.

Kidnapping her was the easy part.
Now I’ve got to tame her.

LYSSA
Freelance princess hunter, Mason Macintyre, thinks he’s so tough with those bulging muscles. He thinks he’s so smart with his plan to tame me with spankings and submission. Well, I’ve got news for him. They don’t call me Wild Thing for nothing.  I’ve been playing unruly princess my whole life and I’m not about to stop now.

MASON
This was supposed to be a simple kidnap job. Catch her and bring her in so she can be married off to the son of a family friend. But once her father realizes the man he hired to reform his unruly brat of a daughter won’t be able to handle her, he blackmails me into reigning her in.

AND HERE’S HOW TO ENTER TO WIN TODAY’S GIFT SET!

(1) THIS IS A SOCIAL-MEDIA FREE GIVEAWAY!

 

(2) Comment below and tell me one thing you want to learn in 2022.

 

So here’s something maybe you guys didn’t know. In the author world right now there is this big thing we’re all in to–especially Romance Authors. It’s called Strengths. Actually, it’s called Gallup-Certified Strengths. And almost all of my author friends get coaching in this by another friend called Becca Syme. I don’t get coaching but that’s because my really, really, really good author friend, Terry Schott, is also a coach who works for Becca. 🙂 So if I want to talk Strengths, I call up Terry and he tells me everything I need to know. 

Anyway, you take this test and it spits out your strengths – there are 34 of them but mostly it’s the Top 5 and Top 10 that determine how you see the world and solve problems. These Strengths are like a blueprint of your personality and if you understand how your personality works, you can better use that information to help you succeed. That’s the short explanation of Strengths.

I tell you this because my #2 Strength is Learner. I fucking love to learn knew things. I’m curious, always. And I have a fairly open mind. I think my mind is as open as one SHOULD be, so as to not become a MINION. A completely open mind is a horrible thing to have. It means you do nothing but FOLLOW and do not use discernment in your decision making. But I am “almost” always willing to look at something in a new way. I might not agree with it in the end, but I’m “almost” always willing to listen to alternative viewpoints. I say almost because we all have hard limits. So if I hit a hard limit, I just turn my back on the whole thing. Good news for me, though, I have very, very few hard limits. I’m mostly trying to learn and understand, so I’m almost always willing to listen. 

I LOVE TO LEARN NEW THINGS. Learning new things is my #2 *priority* (For lack of a better word) in LIFE. 

Which brings me back to my question –

Tell me one thing you want to LEARN in 2022.

Even if you’re not a “Learner” maybe you can try and learn something new this coming year. I think this is way better than a “resolution” because THERE IS NO OUTCOME PRESSURE. Your success isn’t determined by some “goal”. Learning doesn’t end. Even if you’re an expert, learning never ends. So there is no finish line to cross when you decide to LEARN SOMETHING.

And there is no end to the number of ways in which people learn. You can learn by reading, you can learn by doing, you can learn by asking questions, you can learn by going to a class, you can learn by surfing the internet.

So the one thing I want to learn in 2022 is how to grow vegetables. I’m trying to start a little homestead here on my land to become more self-sufficient and so far I have bought supplies and books and did a lot of research. But when the weather turns in the spring, I will learn by doing. Hopefully boring you all to death with my amazing pictures. hahahaha. 🙂

P.S. – If you’re an author and want to learn what your STRENGTHS are, here’s Becca’s website. I DO NOT get a kickback for this. She doesn’t even know I’m doing this. And if you want a good coach recommendation, Terry Schott will not steer you wrong. He’s the best, in my opinion. (He’s doesn’t know I’m doing this either… lol. But I bet he will know by Monday when we have our next Zoom sprint!) 🙂

P.S.S. – If you’re wondering where I get all these graphics for each day’s theme, they come from Creative Market. I love making graphics so I buy A LOT of them. Making all the images for the 12 Days of Giveaways was FUN!

BTW – ^^^That is not an affiliate link. I NEVER use affiliate links for any product I recommend – not a single one of my books on this website has an affiliate link attached to it. I don’t care if other people use affiliate links, I just choose NOT to use them. If I recommend something to people who visit this site, it’s because I LOVE it. There is a standard disclaimer on my website privacy policy stating blah, blah blah affiliate links because it came with the template, BUT I NEVER get paid for pointing you in a certain direction.

BTW #2 – if you like my website it was created by Caro at GoCreate.me! 🙂

It’s never updated and then they wait just a couple of weeks before the end of the term to send emails letting us know that they are failing one or more classes but never which class. It’s very much a guessing game. I hate chrome book learning. It has been this way for 6 years and I still have six more to go. Hey

  249. I’m learning how to be a better mum. I’m disabled and single. My daughter is 10 soon. Things have been rough. Lockdown was terrible for us. I had a fairly traumatic upbringing and didn’t really realise it until I had a mini toxic version of myself to spar with lol. I was very reactive and quite frankly, miserable. We both were. I’ve learned so much over the last year. Our relationship is getting better now. I listened to a book called The Explosive Child and it really changed my perspective. The author says that Kids do well when they can. They aren’t *giving* you a hard time, they’re *having* a hard time. Bad behaviour is just a signal for lagging skills and unmet expectations. It sounds so simple, right? I just wasn’t raised like that. I’m neurodivergent but didn’t find out until recently. I thought I was a broken neurotypical person and I hated myself for it. I know I’m just different now and it’s highly likely that my daughter is too. We’re learning how to collaborate and meet in the middle. I’m trying really hard to respond instead of reacting. I’m attempting to reparent myself too! It almost feels like I’ve been given a fresh start. I have a long way to go but I’m hopeful for the future now 💗

  250. While I was in college, I loved writing papers for class, mostly my English and History classes because they’re my favorite classes. Although I received great grades, those papers were all academic, nothing truly creative. I want to LEARN how to write from imagination and write well. I want to take things from my CRAZY, yet sometime WILD past and share it with the world. In my 45 years, I’ve lived so many different lives and in so many different ways that I know others will be drawn to what I have to write. So that. That is what I want to learn this year. I want to learn how to create worlds for people to read, love, cry, laugh, scream and to experience through my words. No matter what, this will be MY year. I’m always focused on helping everyone around me, but me. Now is my time.

    Merry Christmas everyone. Xoxo

  322. I’ve got two things I’d really like to learn, actually. First, I’d like (okay, need) to learn patience. Second, I’d like to learn how to have a thicker skin about my writing. I take bad (non-constructive) comments to heart too much. I can handle constructive criticism, but comments that seem to be mean just to be mean still really bother me. I’d like to be able to adopt Jinx Monsoon’s mantra of “water off a duck’s back.” I’ll get there eventually.

  323. I know this sounds crazy, but… I want to learn how to break the dopamine cycle. Meaning
    “When your body’s dopamine levels are constantly spiked and crashed by your daily habits, it leaves you demotivated. The pool of dopamine your body has access to becomes less.“
    This causes your baseline levels of motivation to decrease. So it takes more effort to reach the same levels of motivation you had before you started spiking your dopamine levels with a new unconscious habit. So in 2022 I would like to learn how to detox my dopamine, allowing to recalibrate my dopamine and increasing my motivation! In short “ I want to be more MOTIVATED in 2022! “ 💋 And If more people knew how to do this, there would be more motivation in this crazy fucked up world we live in!

  330. I’ve never been less motivated than the last two years. It’s been increasingly difficult to feel motivated about anything… not my norm. So, I would like to break out of the last two years’ monotony and find something that will send me soaring toward a goal.. another activity. I’m leaning toward a return to being a volunteer to wildlife rehab having done this for 5 years a decade ago. I’d also like to take a ceramics class. I will definitely be reaching out to friends doing things with them if the virus is under control. I wish everyone much motivation toward what makes them happy.

  332. Hi Julie! When we lived in AZ I grew okra in our garden. It is awesome when fresh. The kids would actually eat it right off the plant. but from the store they hated it. Anyway, I love learning new things as well but I tend to learn and move on and not fully benefit from what I’ve learned! So I want to learn and test out different goal and organizational approaches this year! Wishing lots of fun with your garden!

  359. I’m an occupational therapist and to keep up my license we need to do continuing education every 2 years. That comes to a lot of stuff over time. I have a hard time with turning my learning into actually doing that which was learned in my treatment sessions.I tend to do little bits and pieces of the things because that’s what I finished processing. In some ways that might be good because if I try to do the entirety of every program I learn, then I’m a minion and not necessarily doing what’s best for each child at the moment that I see them which is always my way. Maybe I just talked myself out of it. I guess I want to learn to process what I’ve learned and use it better even when I don’t use the whole thing.

  363. The one thing I want to learn for 2022:is patience. Which brings up a completely different point. And this won’t be particularly helpful for you guys bc I 1- can’t recall which Q in which this thing [I haven’t yet described] occurred & 2- thus you might not be surprised that I wasn’t able find it again myself earlier today. I must have passed it, tho, like 3 or 4 times while (clearly lost on FB, I’m assuming) altho I could have just as easily gotten lost on all the different pages of your separate posts for each day of this year of giveaways. So. Oh!! this just reminded me of the Q bc the end of my answer was some sort of jokey response about being able to tell my nephew, w a straight face, about how going to college was extremely important, yadda, yadda (I didn’t say yadda yadda or I certainly hope I didn’t.) I had just mentioned a slew of erotica books I LOVED from this past year, & I realized I wanted to mention something a little more serious bc of the direction of our country, I truly DO love listening to Obama’s voice, etc etc. And (I can actually hear y’all picking up pitchforks) in any case – there really IS a point…, one of the two of you responded to what I said [what was my fav bk and/or audio bk this yr] by saying I had already said it, it was a duplicate, some such thing, and in point of fact, that wasn’t true or at least I (personally) had not already said anything of the sort. And if they — those same words — came from someone else, I definitely didn’t plagiarize bc I can bore ppl quite easily all by my lonesome. Please. Look back on any one of my responses and you’ll see that they’re all WAY too long. No matter what. Instead of patience, maybe just a course in how to write a concise sentence.
    And the REASON I went on and on (and on) about this is bc somewhere ELSE in one of these responses, I’m almost positive I already said I wanted to learn to become more patient and I don’t want to make up a pretend answer to your question. My mother is actually diagnosed w Alzheimer’s, she does have a registered nurse with her approximately 40 hours a week, but I live w her, and I’m just not good at taking care of someone who keeps asking the same question again and again and again or repeats a story a million times or accuses me of lying when I tell her we’ve already discussed something medically important about her health (like I would keep secrets from her at this point in time). I’m not a doctor. I have very little medical knowledge beyond the specifics of my dad’s situation when he was ill and ultimately passed away. Basically I have the exact opposite type of personality to be the sister here w my mom but of the four of us, I’m the one choice that is able to do it — and I absolutely believe that children should give back everything that they so carelessly took (perhaps that was just my family) but I believe kids should help their parents out when that becomes necessary— it’s simply just that I’m awful at the task. And I want my mother to be happy. More than happy. And I’m not sure that I can give her what she needs. So yes. In 2022, I’d absolutely, totally love to learn to relax and just be more giving while, at the same time, learning how to simply become patient, both w myself and with my mother.
    The rest of you can just go to hell. (No, no, I’m just kidding. I have a sick sense of humor.)

For about a decade or so, I’ve been saying I’m going to write a book, so when I say that to people now, they just nod and say, “uh-huh.” I have the same ideas swirling in my mind. I have the same old notes jotted down in my phone and ideas excitedly recorded as voice messages to myself in my phone. I just don’t have anything all in one place, and none of them gather together to equal a book. I don’t know if I believe in myself. I definitely know that pretty much no one else does anymore after years of illness and a barely-there book review blog. I just want to try, but don’t know where to begin. Do I take a class? Do I just try and write? After homeschooling my kids so long, I’ve learned over and over side-by-side with them how to write, but not exactly how to write a whole novel.

  521. I would like to learn patience. I am not sure if that is something that you can learn. I tend to react. I am told by my husband to slow down or wind the clock.

  524. I want to learn everything, but the first thing in 2022 that comes to mind is learning to drive manual on cars. I LOVE cars, and I’ve been driving since so early on but haven’t learned to drive a stick yet. Once I do, I can start taking motorcycle lessons, and then maybe buy my own motorcycle at some point in the next few years! Another goal I genuinely have is to become an EMT-B. I already prepared for the course. I want to help people without going into the medical field itself, and this is how I planning on doing it. It’ll be hard, but I know I can do it. 2022 is going to be full of new beginnings (especially since I’m graduating this year).

  530. Id like to learn a couple things actually, first how to shoot and gun, or actually be trained properly since I already know how just not accurately, and second, I would like to learn what it’s like to be involved in a threesome. (But that’s more like my fantasy I guess, probably won’t learn that ever!)

  535. I like to learn to weave a rug. I’m a pinterest junkie and I found this awesome picture of a rug woven from strips of old jeans. So I’d like to try to make one (sadly I couldn’t find instructions for the rug) including building my own weaving frame (I found an instruction for that). When I think back on my weaving experience from childhood I’m a little weary how this will turn out 🙂

  551. Considering I try to learn something new every day, I’m not really sure how to answer this question. I guess I need to learn how to open up to people and ask for help. Or so I’ve been told. I’ve been known to be extremely stubborn and do everything on my own (even after back surgery). I guess I just don’t like to feel like I owe anyone anything, or like I am putting them out. So, yeah, I want to learn to ask for help when I need it, and to open up about my feelings

THE COMFORT IN THE BRAVE

Falling-for-the-Enemy turns Ride-or-Die

Clover Bradley was having the worst day of her life and then she got kidnapped. In her own home. Well, her empty and currently being renovated childhood home on the edge of Disciple, West Virginia and not her former cozy cottage on the grounds of the Dixie Yonder Hotel where she was working and thriving until that very morning. But it still counts and definitely makes her very bad day much worse.

But that’s not even the crazy part. The crazy part is that she’s falling for her kidnapper. A handsome man, if a little morally challenged, who is probably very dangerous and has threatened to kill her half a dozen times over the span of just one day, but what can one do? The attraction is there.

Riggs is just trying his best to stay out of prison. Which seems at odds with his current actions, but need-to-know nuances make all these nonsensical pieces fit. And even though Clover isn’t a model captive—she’s a complainer of the princess variety—he finds himself getting attached. If he hadn’t been forced to kidnap her to save his own hide, he could see a future where the two of them end up together.

So he figures… why not save her life by endangering her some more?

And she figures… well, it’s better than being left to rot in her own basement.

And that’s, of course, when things get interesting.

The Comfort in the Brave is an ironic twist of fate inbred to a really bad decision. It’s a captive romance turned ride-or-die in a crazy escape from Blackberry Hill—but this time Collin Creed isn’t coming to save anyone, he’s looking for revenge.

SPARKTOPIA

Sacrifice one for the greater good? Or burn it all down to save her?

Spark is light, Spark is magic, Spark is power.

Spark is everything and it blooms inside the bodies of Tau City’s young women. Once a decade, in exchange for enough power to keep the city modern and comfortable, a Spark Maiden must be sacrificed to their mysterious tower god in a ritual called The Extraction.

Ten Maidens are Chosen, but only one enters the tower as a sacrifice, never to be seen again. The nine leftovers are elevated to celebrity status and spend the next decade living in the luxurious Maiden Tower, wearing couture gala gowns, and partying with the city’s most interesting and beautiful people. Every young woman in Tau City wants to be a Spark Maiden because the odds have always been in their favor.

Until now.

One by one, the greedy god has summoned the leftover Spark Maidens into sacrifice. When Clara Birch, Spark Maiden number nine, gets the call, she fully expects her fiancé, Finn Scott, the Extraction Master’s son, to save her.

Spoiler alert: He’s not going to.

At the same time, a rebellion is brewing. The forgotten underclass is plotting the end of the god and his tower with strategically-placed Rebel spies that will bring it all down. Jasina Bell is a young woman on a mission to make history and she will stop at nothing to get the fame she deserves.

When Clara is forced into the tower against her will, she makes an unexpected discovery. There is no god—just a man, one willing to do what Finn Scott wouldn’t: save Clara Birch.

Even if it means destroying the entire world to do so.

 

Betrayal and sacrifice, loyalty and power plays—four people are entangled across time and space as they seek truth, freedom, and true love in this wild and twisted adult romantasy that will have fans of “Outlander” and “Kushiel’s Dart” breathlessly turning pages until the very last word.
