Describe your book/series in 15 words or less!

The Nexus Series is a series centered around Nexus, a fictitious local BDSM club in Atlanta.

When did you start writing? How did your first book evolve into what it is now?

I’ve always had stories that played around in my head. During quiet, daydreaming moments, the stories would elaborate in my mind. I LOVE to read erotic romance. My husband encouraged me to write my stories for others to enjoy.

What made you go indie?

I work full-time and have many obligations related to my job that is not conducive to have traditional deadlines from publishers. I have to write on my time.

What issues popped up for you through the indie channel? Formatting, covers, platforms, etc.

As an indie writer, promotion is the very hardest part. There are so many great books, getting yours noticed is quite difficult.

Writing style…what is your writing process like? 

The hardest part for me is finding quiet time to write. I work full-time, so time is limited already. I write best in silence, unless I’m using music for a scene and that’s sometimes difficult around my house.

How do you develop your characters?

I have the initial thought, but then I let the characters speak to me. Then the story line dictates how the character develops.

Tell us a little bit about your cover art. Who designed it? Why did you go with that particular image/artwork?

I’ve designed all of my covers. I use corsets because they are easily identifiable with BDSM clubs which is what The Nexus Series is centered around.

How do you spend your time when you aren’t writing?

Besides working, I enjoy reading, sports, music, dancing, and spending time with my family.

Are you the driver or a passenger in your book? (Are you in control of where the story goes or does it sort of just happen?)

The passenger… I tried driving in Soleil and Master Derek put me in my place.

What’s next for you?

I’m currently working on book #4 in The Nexus Series and have recently decided to dip my toes into Erotic Paranormal. I hope to have a Vampire Novella released in the early fall.

Now for the SILLIES 

If your book/series was a dessert, what would it be and why?

Key lime pie because it’s a sinfully delicious dessert that I love.

 If you were a toy, what would you be and how would people play with you?

I would be a teddy bear. People would cuddle with me at night.

Now do you people see why I ADORE this woman?? Trust me when I say you won’t want to miss out on following her on Facebook and reading everything she puts out!

What is something about yourself that most of your readers don’t know?

I am very patriotic.

We all need a hero! Tell us about your protagonist(s)? Was there a real-life inspiration behind him or her?

There are little pieces of me and my husband in the characters. There are parts of each character that I can relate to personally.

You’re having a party. What character from your book do you hope attends? Why? What character do you hope doesn’t attend? Why?

I want all of them to be part of the party. The only ones I don’t want to attend would be Rick Foster, Scott Jenkins, and Master Isaac’s former sub, Vicki.

Characters often find themselves in situations they aren’t sure they can get themselves out of. When was the last time you found yourself in a situation that was hard to get out of and what did you do?

At a function for work, funny awards were given away. The surprise of me getting one, caused me to draw a blank and I spoke a phrase that could be twisted into a sexual innuendo. The group roared with laughter and I laughed along too. They have no idea I write erotica. So, I replied that it would take more than that slip up to embarrass me.

Who is your favorite “Book Boyfriend”? What series is it from and who wrote it?

Xavier Leduc – My liege of Dark Haven by Cherise Sinclair

If you could have one super power what would it be? Why?

I think I would want to fly.

What do you think about when you are alone in your car?

Usually book plots.

What song best describes you? Why?

Free your mind by EnVogue

The message in the song is about accepting the differences of others, something I believe in with my whole heart.

Ask me one question…any question at all and I have to answer it no matter what!

What’s your favorite book of all time?

That is so not a fair freaking question! I mean really…it changes with every series, every book, every author! Even when I think I have found my favorite book/series I start a new one and I fall in love all over again.

Daniella Blanchard is enjoying a romantic interlude with the handsome Eric Lehane, when he makes the suggestion – an interlude on a summer’s afternoon involving ropes, a blindfold and a waiting chair. Only when bound and helpless, subjected to an intense game of sexual tease and denial, does the student begin to suspect her lover’s wicked ulterior motives in their relationship. But Daniella is no meek submissive and she has secrets of her own, which will take Eric by storm. One scorching twist follows another in what becomes a weekend-long struggle of body and mind for sexual supremacy. Who will come out on top in this explosively erotic contest – Eric, Daniella, or sheer all-consuming passion?

He leaned back in his chair, mind flooding with sweet recollections …

Daniella’s orgasm‐deprived body racked with pleasure as his fingers plunged inside her.

The clutch of her contracting pussy on his cock as he boned her hard from the rear, her limbs bound by rope and her soul by sweet lust. Those wild, full‐throated cries that filled his house, as her anger gave way to ecstasy. Then later on when all had changed—her firm young breasts jogging lightly above him as she rode slowly and gently, fingertips on his chest and fronds of brunette hair dropping about his face. Oh God, hot little darling, hot sexy sweetheart. My sweet Daniell …

Shit, enough with the endearments! If he kept on down that road, one might slip out in her company. He shook himself free of reverie, finished his coffee and made to depart. His erection made motion tricky, however, so he sat back with his newspaper for cover. He wrestled himself towards a place of calm.

Pretty girl. Not unintelligent. She was perfectly pleasant company with a nice line in conversation and a sense of humour. But chiefly she was a piece – of – ass. Hold to that and it would be one very satisfactory weekend. Revenge with benefits. Everyone happy, particularly him.

Eric clinked a couple of pound coins against his coffee cup as a tip, folded his newspaper and left. No more floundering, no more stupid guilt. This girl craves control and that’s what she’s going to get. He checked his watch on the way out. Two hours, and if he went straight home that’d be two thirty. Long enough to make her squirm. Yes, that’d do nicely. He had one call to make before returning home, a short walk down the High Street.

M. will blow your mind with this book y’all. Her brilliance knows no bounds. -Jen

Brooke
I’ve come from a privileged life and an even more privileged upbringing. My parents taught me right from wrong and everything in between… except I wanted the gray area. I wanted to live life on the edge with the possibility of falling over. I didn’t care about the consequences because I had no heart…
I left that on the floor of my parents’ bedroom door, shattered.
And never went back to pick up the pieces.

Devon
Family first.
I learned the meaning of the word hate.
I learned that life is a battlefield and I stood frontline.
I learned that praying doesn’t work and God doesn’t listen.
And I learned how to be a man…
All at the receiving end of my father’s fists, my mother’s tears, and my sisters screams.
You can’t run away from your past…
It will always find you, especially when you’re asleep.

Warning: Book contains adult situations.
Sex/language. Mature readers only.

Hmmm… Where to start? You need to know that I read Tempting Bad AFTER I read M.’s VIP Trilogy. (It is not necessary to read them first, but I highly recommend it. You can find the box set HERE)

After finishing the Trilogy I could NOT wait for Brooke’s story. I was yearning to know more about the sultry little slut and needed to know what made her tick. What happened to her to make her so jaded and so emotionally guarded? My first impression of her in VIP almost made me think she was going to be a conniving “frenemy” to the beloved Ysa. I didn’t want to like her… For fear that she would break my heart. How wrong was I? I can’t even count the ways.
Devon stole my heart as soon as Ysa walked into his bar. If anyone deserved to have a happily ever after it was him. This book made me rethink every interaction between him and Ysa in the Trilogy books. Giving me much needed insight into his mind in regards to their relationship. The execution of Brooke and Devon’s story was impeccable.

Brooke’s character was perfect. Perfectly broken. The spoiled little rich girl whose dreams are shattered by a secret she doesn’t understand. She is determined to never let a little thing like “Love” penetrate her heart and break her again. Who better to take on the VIP world than Brooke? She will make you fall in love with her and keep you begging for more… All the while calculating new ways to keep you coming back for another taste. She always appears to be available while never actually BEING available. She has made her life exactly what she wants it to be… She is perfectly happy… Or so she thinks.

And then there is Devon. Umm… Hello?!!! Is he not the embodiment of delicious?! In VIP we get “friendly” Devon, “brotherly” Devon… In this book we get “Sexy” Devon, “Dirty mouthed” Devon… “Holy fucking yum” Devon. We also get him in ways we never imagined. Damaged… Broken… Protective. Unlike Brooke he wants love… Wants to be loved. But he is haunted by the demons of his childhood and fears that he will become a monster. Destroying everything in it’s wake of he allows anyone to see what’s inside of him. The guilt… The pain… The tragedy.

When Brooke and Devon find each other their cataclysmic relationship is an eruption waiting to devastate everything in it’s wake. He is a man haunted by his memories and she is a woman on a mission to rule VIP. What they don’t factor in is love. Isn’t it always the least suspecting who get blindsided?

Aahhh! Spoilers spoilers spoilers!!!! I want to tell you so much. If this is your first taste of the VIP world I am so jealous… OooOo — how lucky you are to get to experience these characters for the first time. I wish it was my first time again, there is nothing quite like being enveloped by M. Robinson’s genius.

If you have read VIP, Madam, and MVP – I want give away the secrets you think you have figured out. I want to tell you EVERYTHING!!! How? Why? Who? Sadly… I can’t. All I can say is… Expect the unexpected. Because as soon as you think you’ve got it figured out – BAM! – your visions are demolished. M. will blow your mind with this book y’all. Her brilliance knows no bounds.

(You didn’t REALLY think I would give you spoilers did you?? Hahahaha!)

M. Robinson loves to read. She favors anything that has angst, romance, triangles, cheating, love, and of course sex!

I was there, but I wasn’t.
I danced around in a sea of emptiness and longing, it moved around me easily, carelessly, harshly.
It was all and it was nothing.
It made me full and it made me empty.
It pleased me and it dismayed me.
I didn’t care. I was there to do a job. To be a VIP. I played my part beautifully, just as I always did. Letting myself get taken away on empty promises of nothing, but somehow seemed like everything.

What if everything you thought to be true about love was shattered… Would you still take the chance to experience it?

Today is the day – J. Kenner’s IGNITED is finally here and we are so excited to celebrate the release! You have got to get your hands on this steamy read!

He promised to take me as far as I could go—and I wanted to go to the edge. My whole life has been a cover, a con, a lie. I was born into the grift, raised on the thrill of playing someone I’m not. As a rule, I never let anyone get too close—until Cole August makes it impossible for me to stay away. Cole is tough, sexy, and intensely loyal, yet his secrets are dark and his scars run deep. Not many women can handle his past, or the truth behind his fierce demands. But something about him beckons me—and our desire is a game I must play. I know he’s dangerous, that even his touch is trouble, but what is passion without a little risk? Add it to your Goodreads list here!

He let go, then moved to face me. I missed his touch, but the trade-off was worth it. I’m not the kind of girl who swoons over hunky firemen calendars and I’ve only seen Magic Mike once. But as far as eye candy went, Cole was a walking, talking Milky Way bar, and at least as tempting.

“Really,”he confirmed. An easy smile bloomed on his face, and he shook his head slowly, with obvious pleasure. “I didn’t realize that working as a barista required such honed salesmanship.”

“I’m a woman of many talents,” I said, then fluttered my lashes.

“Damn right you are.” He drew in a breath as he looked at me, and try as I might, I had no clue what he was thinking.

“That was quite the commission you just brought in,” he finally said. “I have a feeling you’ll be getting Christmas cards from Tiki for the rest of your life.”

“I look forward to it. What about you?” I asked boldly, and blamed it on the wine. I met his eyes, and fervently hoped that mine really were a window to the soul, because right then I wanted him to see straight inside me. “What will I get from you?”

“That depends on what you want.”

“Want,” I repeated. Where Cole was concerned, what didn’t I want? “I told you earlier that you owed me,” he said. “Do you want to call us even?”

“Do you?”

He was silent for a moment, and then one moment longer. “No,” he finally said. I lifted my chin. “Good.” His expression remained perfectly stoic, but he lifted his hand toward my face, then dropped it, as if he were a child who’d caught himself about to do something naughty.

“It’s okay,” I said, my voice almost a whisper. “I won’t break.”

“Don’t be so sure, blondie. I’ve been known to destroy even the most resilient things.”

“I’m not a thing. And you won’t destroy me.” I hesitated only a second, then took one step closer. The difference was only inches, but the air seemed suddenly thicker, as if my lungs had to work harder to draw in oxygen. “It’s okay,” I said again.

All around us, the party continued, but I’m not sure either one of us was aware. Instead, it felt as if we’d stepped into a vortex, and at least in our little corner of space and time nothing else mattered or even existed.

I held my breath, wanting his touch so badly I could taste it. And when he finally brushed the side of his thumb over my cheekbone, it was all I could do not to moan aloud.

All too quickly he took his hand away, leaving me bereft.

All too quickly he stepped back, forcing the world around us to come back to life.

“I just had to see if I was right,” he said.

“About?”

“Your skin. It’s like touching a promise.”

“Is it?” I murmured.

“Tender,” he said. “And a bit mysterious. With layer upon layer just waiting to be discovered.”

My breath stuttered in my chest. “I didn’t know you thought that,” I said. “I didn’t know you thought about me at all.”

He was silent for so long I began to fear he wasn’t going to answer. When he spoke, his words cut through me, sharp and sweet. “I think about you more than I should.”

It was suddenly very warm in the gallery. Little beads of sweat gathered at the hairline on the back of my neck. I needed air, because it seemed as if all the oxygen had been sucked out of the room. Somehow, miraculously, I formed words. “What are you thinking now?”
