Jess Dee - Down Under Divas - Contest Continues

I sat at my computer all night trying to figure out what I wanted to say about Jess Dee. I just couldn't seem to figure out how I wanted to put in words how I felt or what I wanted to tell you. So this is what I came up with-
While there were a lot of authors that I was excited to meet, Jess Dee was one I was looking forward to meeting and she did not disappoint. She is a very welcoming person and I felt very comfortable with her. Jess was one of the first authors who talked to me about doing reviews and talking to people about books. She was very inspiring and encouraging.(Thanks for all the words of kindness-xoxo)
I was already in complete fan girl love with her from her books, which are AMAZING! But now after meeting her I can't say enough good about her. Like I said her books are amazing and she  has quite a few new ones for us this year including a Freebie from Samhain!

So lets see what Jess Dee has available for us right now:


Three of a Kind Series


Going All In Raising the Stakes 



Full House
A full house beats a pair any day.

Three of a Kind, Book 3


It’s been a long, lonely business trip for diamond dealer Max Ashberg. He’s missed his lover like crazy, and he’s come to the realization that he’s ready to take the next step: nominate himself to be Trev’s new housemate. Except when he gets to Trev’s place, there’s someone living in “his” room. A woman—with the face of an angel.

Six weeks shouldn’t make a huge difference in a man’s life, but in that time lawyer Trev Greenfield has realized two things: He wants much more than a standing Friday night “date” with Max. And he’s falling heart-over-head for his new housemate, potter Grace Miles.

Grace never meant to fall for Trev, but when a power failure turns their chemistry into live electricity, there’s no denying the spark. There’s also no denying the shock when Grace discovers a naked man in her new home.

With Grace poised to run and Max teetering between confusion and growing lust for the delicious possibilities, Trev has his hands full trying to hold the two loves of his life together…before they slip through his fingers. Leaving them all with shattered hearts.


*BTW - I absolutely loved this series!!!!





Fire Series

 Winter Fire


Guilty pleasures can heat the coldest winter night…

A Red Hot Winter story.

There’s never been any question in Rachel Ashberg’s mind. Jackson Brooks is the one, and they both know it. The problem? Thanks to his unbreakable rule—never date his twin sister’s friends—he’s completely off-limits. Even if they can’t imagine being with anyone else.

It’s been over two years since their last encounter, when they gave in—just once—to their passion. Now, as the Brooks twins’ milestone birthday approaches, Rachel and Jackson are about to meet again at a gorgeous mountain resort. Needing something to take the edge off the desire that has never faded, she indulges in a fling with sexy stranger Garreth Halt. He even makes her forget Jackson for a while. Or…maybe not.

When she mentions Jackson’s name in passing, Garreth picks up on all the hidden undertones in her voice. And he brings Jackson into their bed, if only in a fantasy they play out together. Funny thing about Garreth’s fantasies, though. Even the most improbable, impossible ones have a way of becoming reality…




Triple Dare                                                                       True Heart This is a group book that will be out in Print on December 6, 2011 under the title "Red Hot Winter"


*Did you know that Lexxie did these videos? WOW!! GO LEX!

A Question of .... Series
Question of Trust & Question of Love

The Tanner Siblings
Photo Opportunity & Ask Adam

Circle of Friends
Only Tyler & Steve's Story

 Anthologies

Now a few quick questions -

1. What is your favorite thing to read?

 Romance. Without a doubt. A hot, sexy paranormal romance

2. If you had to choose 5 things you couldn't live without, what would they be?

 My hubby, my two kids, my dog and anything at all to do with Apple (iPad, iPhone, iMac)

3. What is the craziest thing you've done (that you'll admit to)?

 Sky diving!
Jumping out of a plane at 14 000 feet, attached to a complete stranger.
Holy moly, what was I thinking?

4. What is you biggest guilty pleasure?

 I have to say chocolate. Or ice cream. Mmmm, chocolate ice cream.

5. What would you do if you found out you only had seven days left to live?

Hmmm, I'd cry for the first day, rant and rave about the unfairness of it all the next day, and hug my hubby and kids for the next five.
Oh, and I would eat whatever I wanted to.
Liters of chocolate ice cream. Caramel Ice cream, ice cream sundaes, ice cream and melted mars bar sauce, fudge, cake with butter icing, donuts...


Is there anything else you'd like to tell your fans? Upcoming releases? Trips? Conventions? Contracts?

Upcoming Releases :):)
I have a few:

1) Bandicoot Cove, an Anthology written by myself, Lexxie Couper and Vivian Arend releases in a few weeks. The first book to release is a Samhain Freebie, called Exotic Indulgence (Aug 13th). My book, Island Idyll, the last of the four, releases on to 20th of Sept.

2) On the 1st of Nov, my first book in a whole new series, Speed, arrives at Samhain. It's called See You In My Dreams. It's sweet, it's red-hot and it's every girl's fantasy.

3) Finally, I'm very happy to tell you the sequel to Winter Fire releases at Samhain in January. It's called Hidden Fire, and it's Jenna and Garreth's story.
