It’s been a busy little month for me. And now it’s all culminating in my second release in 30 days. Today, EVERYTHING FORBIDDEN hits shelves.
There are a lot of things that excite me about this book. I really love my hero and heroine, Ethan Hamon and Miranda Albright. I liked creating an innocent heroine, who also had some kind of handle on her own desire. A woman who sacrifices something for her family, but refuses to be a martyr. And then there is Ethan. He’s one of the hottest heroes I’ve ever written, I think. I mean, he’s steamy. LOL He really likes sex, but when it comes to Miranda, he’s lost.
But I think the thing that excited me most about EF is that it’s my first full-length erotic romance. I’ve been writing erotic romance since 2003, when I wrote my first novella, “Ancient Pleasures”. But I’ve always felt like the shorter novellas and short stories fit my voice best. But when Avon asked for a couple of full-length books, I took the challenge.
Now I just hope you like it. 
So have you ever wanted something that was forbidden? Did you get it? Someone who posts a comment today will win a book from my Jess Michaels backlist (SECRETS 11, SECRETS 12 or PARLOR GAMES, your choice).

Congrats Jenna…I’m running out to town today to pick this one up (my poor hubby)!
As for wanting something forbidden…I don’t think I have! I’m a pretty practical type of person and very easy to please!

I’m going to be traveling today (I’m about to lose my $10/day internet at the hotel), so I won’t be able to respond much today… but I’ll look at everything and respond when I get home late tonight! And I’ll choose a winner and post it tomorrow (so be sure to scroll down from tomorrow’s blog to see).

Who hasn’t wanted something forbidden? From a bowl full of Humpty Dumpty BBQ chips while on a diet to the very expensive Joan and David boots while on a budget to the hunky guy who must remain eye candy… The great thing is that some things morph into rewards and are therefore no longer forbidden!

Very good point, Kathryn!!
From Jenna, who bought a pair of very cute shoes this weekend that might have been considered forbidden… but I turned in revisions on my July book. So they will now be called REWARD!!!!

I think we’ve all wanted something a little forbidden. Even if it’s something as small as chocolate, though for some people chocolate is BIG.
Congrats on the new release, Jess/Jenna!! Can’t wait to pick it up and dive in!!

I am sure we all crave something forbidden at times but whether we get it or not is another matter but I am sure we all dream about the forbidden things. Everything Forbidden is a fantastic book so sensual and hot I loved it. It was my first erotic romance and I will defiantly be reading more. Congrats Jenna
Have Fun

Haven’t we all. Just being on a diet makes anything that tastes good forbidden,
