Tuesday Teaser - Sex, Lies, and Vampires by Katie MacAlister

After falling in love with Katie MacAlister’s writing style and characters I HAD to have more. So… the next time I took Mom to the book store, I found another. This book was originally published in 2005.

Sex, Lies, And Vampires

 I love the quirky heroine in this story, the 3^rd book in The Dark Ones series. (Yep… still haven’t picked up the 1^st yet.) This book was so fun to read, I couldn’t put it down. Perfect with a glass of red wine, a comfy blanket and cozy chair on a cold winter day.

Nell is a historian...and a charmer. When she inadvertently becomes involved with the supernatural world, Nell meets a Dark One (vampire) known as The Betrayer. Despite the scary title, The Betrayer (actually named Adrian) is incredibly sexy, and the chemistry between them becomes overwhelming. There is a lot of sexual tension and loads of romance. He tries to show his big bad self that all should fear, and she responds by calling him a fluffy pet name like sugarpants. Throw in some re-animated mummies, demons, kidnappings, and misunderstandings and you have the basic plotline of Sex, Lies and Vampires.

Thursday Thirteen - 13 Tips for a Romantic Bath

I LOVE baths! 

 I bet you can't guess what inspired today's post.  LOL

Taking a bath together in winter is as sexy as skinny-dipping.

It's also a great idea for a "cheap date night".

1. Rose Petals
   One of the most common symbols for romance, the rose is not only a beautiful addition to your bath water and/or bath area it is delightfully fragrant as well.
2. Bubble Bath
   Bubble bath comes in so many varieties it can be hard to choose the right one. If you know your partner has a special favorite, use that one. If not, try something a little creative like bubble bath in a champagne bottle.
3. Mood Music
   Initiate a romantic environment with a little calm and relaxing mood music. Many stores offer nature or mood themed music. Pick out a CD that will help you create the exact mood you desire.
4. Candlelight
   Restore that healthy glow with a liberal sprinkling of candlelight. Tea lights are easy to use, make little mess and are easy to throw away once cooled. Don't place candles where you may splash water on them.
5. Bath Loofah or Accessories
   Why not give each other the ultimate bath and spa experience with a little skin pampering? Go shopping together and pick out a few fun bath products in a scent you both love
6.  Skin Care Take care of each others' skin and try new exfoliation products or other skin improving products. Pay special attention to each other's elbows, knees, hands and feet. Make your own product with sugar and lick it off.

7.                    7.  Hair Care  The scalp is an erogenous zone. Give each other a complete hair washing, including combing out their hair during the conditioning process. 

8.    8.  Champagne
Celebrate your time together with a romantic toast. Use this couple time to renew promises or vows with each other. Or, just revel in actually having couple time.

9. Try a fun, sensual bath game. I'm not going into detail here. *wink, wink*
10. Warm, Fluffy Towels
    Put your towels in the dryer for a few minutes for a warm and toasty after-bath treat.
    Take turns drying each other off for a more intimate experience.
11. Mood Inviting Bath Soak
    Bath soaks are usually a blend of ingredients you add to your bath water to create a desired effect, such as a sore muscle soak, stress-easing soak or relaxation soak. Most bath and body and drug stores carry bath soak products.
12. Privacy
    A romantic moment is easily ruined with unwanted disruptions. Arrange your water play encounter at a time when you can be together alone. A great way to do this and create the perfect memorable night is staying at hotel with a spa or Jacuzzi tub in your room.

13. Shower Power When you don't have time to take a nice bubble bath with your partner, opt for a nice, hot, candlelit shower with incense and music. This is wonderful for mornings because it refreshes the mind for the day.
