One favourite author that I discovered last year is ELLA JAMES. She never disappoints. Soon, her new full-length novel will be released and we'll have the pleasure to read it. In the meantime, let's indulge ourselves in an (enticing) excerpt from SLOTH...
He looks down at me, and his face
is so stern, so solemn…so hungry that I almost flee right then.
Instead, I ride it out. I tell
myself I can handle whatever happens, and I stand my ground as he turns the
knob and pushes it open.
His eyes cling to my face as he
waves me inside first.
I step inside expecting something
grand. Elaborate. Even magical. And that’s exactly what I find.
The wall in front of me is nothing
but a sheet of glass, giving me a stunning view of the tops of pines, and the
river rushing over rocks below them. Above the treetops, the pale sky stretches
on and on, marred only by another crow or hawk or raven.
I could get lost in that view, but
I don’t let myself. I roll my gaze around the room, taking in its deep plum
walls, high ceilings. There’s even a fancy indention at the center of the
ceiling, something that looks right out of a home and garden magazine. And to
my left is the bed. A huge, imposing, mahogany canopy with a pale green duvet and
curtains that drop down around it.
A bed for sex.
My hunch is confirmed when I
notice, amongst the heavy dresser and wide desk, a claw-footed tub in one
corner of the bedroom.
I’ve got my mouth half open,
trying to decide if I should just be me and blurt out “sex cave,” or continue
with my act and feign charm.
I turn around to him, belatedly
realizing I should be making sure he doesn’t shut and lock the door. I find his
eyes on me, but when my gaze meets his, he breaks away and walks over to the
window.
“This used to be my room,” he says
without turning around to look at me.
“Until?”
“I gave it up for trainees.”
“That sounds kinky.” It’s unplanned; I just murmur it.
He turns to me, his eyes hardened,
his mouth gone sensuously soft. “You think so, Miss Whatley?”
I nod, and he walks over to me.
His hands close around my wrists.
He looks into my eyes, like he’s desperate to see what I’m thinking. He brings
one of my hands to his mouth. The soft brush of his lips on my palm makes me
tingle, but it doesn’t matter. I’m going through with my plan regardless of how
attracted I am to him.
“Can you see yourself staying
here?” he asks, in that low, deep, sexy voice of his.
“I don’t know.” I try to sound
weak; uncertain. “I think I’d miss my friends at the Tri Gam house.”
“I could make you forget about
them while you’re here.”
IS KELLAN WALSH PROPOSITIONING ME?
“How could you do that?”
He steps a little closer to me,
sending my pulse racing. His wide chest is inches from my breasts. I find
myself longing to step forward.
Instead, he does.
My breasts mash against his chest
as our hips brush. Half a heartbeat later, I feel his dick pressing against my
lower belly.
Oh my God.
His hands come up and frame my
face. His eyes, on mine, are hypnotic.
“I’m not going to lie to you. I
want your body, Cleopatra. I’d like nothing more than for you to stay here with
me. I’ll teach you to deal—teach you how to avoid getting caught, how to
maximize your, our earnings—and we
can see if this goes anywhere.”
“That’s why you brought me up
here?” I whisper.
He nods slowly.
I've had the chance to read a couple more excerpts and let me tell you, it gets sunny hot! It releases on February 25, 2015 and you can add it to your TBR here: http://bit.ly/1zY4hae.
About the Mastermind:
Ella James
Ella James is a USA Today
bestselling romance author. Her books have appeared on numerous bestseller
lists, including the Movers & Shakers list and the Amazon Top 25 overall;
two were listed among Amazon's Top 100 Bestselling Young Adult Ebooks in 2012.
Note: Sloth is the first in my new Sinful Secrets series. Each intense,
erotic story is inspired by a sin, and centered around a life-altering secret.
Each "sin" stands on its own, so they don't have to be read in order.
After Sloth, I'm writing Murder. Between these two, I'm
releasing a stand alone: a more traditional romance called The Boy Next Door.
