Too Steamy for the Penalty Box... Period Two

The New Orleans Cajun Rage professional hockey team just won the Cup. No one thought they'd do it: they were a team of shoulda beens, never coulda beens and a star or two. They'd only been in the Crescent City for three years before this year's Cinderella run that had them skating off the ice with the championship. Over the following summer, each player gets to keep the Cup for a day. Nobody knows why, but whoever has the Cup falls in love.

FREE AGENT
USA Today Best Seller Robin Covington
Defenseman James "DC" Washington has had a big year: winning "The Cup" and coming out to his team and the entire world were events that changed his life. Now a free agent, he thought he had his next step all planned out . . . until the man he might not be able to resist puts a sexy offer on the table.

“The sexiest thing about DC is his big heart for LGBTQ kids.






UNDER THE MIDNIGHT SUN
Kim Golden
Jonas Magnussen's icy blue stare has earned him the nickname the Iceman. On and off the ice, he's cool, collected and hard to handle. When an injury threatens to end his career, Jonas is faced with a choice he thought he'd never have to make. Mariam Kidane is the only woman who ever made Jonas lose his cool. A chance encounter with her melts Jonas's icy facade and leaves him wondering if life away from the league is such a bad thing, especially when it means a second chance at scoring the ultimate goal: love.

"The sexiest thing about Jonas is how cool he usually stays under pressure. His quiet calm masks the intensity of his passion--whether it's for winning a game or winning back the woman he loves. And he never gives up."

But this former bad boy isn't about to let anyone--or anything--breakup his family. For his wife, his children, his players...Mason is prepared to fight for them all.

The sexiest thing about Mason Courage is his determination to be a great coach, his patience with his children, his loyalty toward his wife, and his perfectly toned butt.

THE BOYS ARE BACK AGAIN


HIS SOUTHERN TEMPTATION
The Boys Are Back series
Entangled Indulgence
ASIN: B00C2RVPWQ

Some women are bad. Some women are a bad idea. The best ones are both…

A former Black Ops assassin, “Lucky” Landon has had more near-misses than a man should ever have. Now he’s out of that business and settling into the simple life in his small hometown. So the last thing he ever expected was to end up at gunpoint. Or that the woman holding the gun would be his best friend’s little sister and Lucky’s on-again/off-again lover.

Taylor Elliott is Trouble, and she likes it that way. And seeing Lucky again? Well, he’s been her dirty little secret for the past few years and everyone knows that secrets in a small town are almost impossible to keep. But Taylor has bigger problems on her plate. Like the local mob boss who wants her dead.

And right now the only thing standing between Trouble and disaster is a hottie named Lucky…

A LITTLE OF THE STORY

She was tall, her length stretched out under most of his six foot three inch frame even with their legs tangled together. And he could feel every inch of her long, silky-skinned limbs as they extended out of the sexiest, tiniest pair of boy shorts ever sold without a warning label. Those shorts, coupled with the tiny tank top, left absolutely everything to fuel his imagination.

Damn, she smelled good too. From where his face rested in the crook between her face and her shoulder he was enveloped in the combination of coconut and a sharp, exotic floral scent. Their exertion had caused the unique combination to intensify, and he couldn’t resist taking one last deep breath and dragging it in. It reminded him of the beach, long summer days, and suntan oil.
“Are we going to lie here all night?” Her voice was breathy, but she maintained a healthy edge of “kiss my ass” in the delivery.

“Nope. Only until the sheriff arrives and he confiscates the gun you tried to kill me with.”

“I didn’t try to kill you.”

“Sugar, if you point a gun at me you better be prepared to—” Lucky lifted his head to get a good look at his would-be-assassin, and the shock of her identity hit him between the eyes, swirled around for a bit and melted his brain. The hair was different, shorter and colored in broad stripes of blonde and darkest brown, but he’d know those eyes anywhere—hazel with all the colors of autumn on the mountain—just like her brother Teague. Just like all the Elliotts.

“Taylor?”

“Lucky?”

“What the hell are you doing here?” Shock, instant remorse at the way he’d tackled her, and the crazy need to touch her threaded together in his mind in a confusing jumble of conflicting desires. The only clear thought was that Taylor was here—in the flesh— after two long years. He didn’t even mind his hands shaking as he released her arms from over her head, trailing his fingers down one smooth cheek, and finally stopping to cup her jaw in a light grip that forced her to maintain eye contact. Not that he needed to—her gaze never wavered from his. The warmth of welcome and the edge of heat in her expression made his fingertips tingle where they stroked her skin. “The last time I saw you in Elliott, you were stealing my car.”

THE SOUTHERN BOYS

We've got all the "boys" from Robin's Southern Series getting lost with us today.
ROBIN:  Oh Angi – I don’t know what you were thinking inviting all these guys here. I cannot guarantee that they will behave . . . . fair warning!

ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
JACKSON: I’m not much of a reader but I do love to sit with my Dad and listen to him tell stories about when he was a cop. I can lose hours with him . . .

ANGI: What’s the first book you remember reading? 
BECK: Oh man, I did not grow up in a house full of readers but I remember getting a copy of “Treasure Island” when I was kid from a social worker. That’s probably my earliest book I remember reading.  I think I still want to be a pirate searching for gold – that would be so cool.

ANGI: What’s your favorite “love” word?
TEAGUE: I don’t really believe in all that stuff. People throw it around so much these days –they love their current meal to a television show. So, I guess that’s my long-winded way of saying next question!

ANGI: Can you tell us about a real-life hero you’ve met?
LUCKY: I served in the United States Marine Corps and I met heroes every day. If you have a few days, I’ll tell you about every single one of them.

ANGI: What’s your favorite fairy tale?
LUCKY:  Let’s see . . . Snow White, Sleeping Beauty . . .  any story that lets me kiss the girl.
TEAGUE:  We promised to keep this PG-13.
LUCKY: What did I say?

ANGI: What’s your favorite cartoon character?
JACKSON: Lucky.  He’s a life-size cartoon character.
LUCKY: Bite me.

ANGI: What sound or noise do you love?
BECK: The sound the wind makes rushing past my ears when when I’m sky-diving or base-jumping.
TEAGUE:  I figured you’d make some comment about the sound of a woman in your bed . . .
BECK: I’m trying to keep this PG-13 man.

ANGI: Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
BECK: Oh, action adventure.
JACK: He’s an adrenaline junkie.
BECK:  I’m an adventure enthusiast.
TEAGUE:  You’re crazy. Why would you jump out a perfectly good airplane?
BECK: It’s better than sex.
TEAGUE: I’ll take your word for it. On the ground.

ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
TEAGUE: Bullitt by Steve McQueen. That guy was a badass.
JACK: I wanted the car.
BECK: I wanted the woman.
TEAGUE, LUCKY, & JACK:  We know!

ANGI: Who’s your favorite villain?
JACKSON: The Joker. Heath Ledger’s version was genius.
LUCKY:  Hell, yes.  That dude was scary as shit – and I’ve seen scary.

ANGI: What is your biggest vice?
LUCKY: Keeping secrets. After my years with the Marines, lying comes too easily to me sometimes.

ANGI: How is it working with hot guys and sexy women all day?
ROBIN: I assume you are not asking me about the evil day job!! Working with these guys is a blast.  They keep me on my toes but I enjoy putting them through the wringer when it comes to love.

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: What else is on that bucket list of yours?
ROBIN'S GOTTA ANSWER: A tattoo.  I have it designed (a heart made up with the intertwining names of my hubby and kids). I just have to convince the Main Man not to roll his eyes every time he looks at it – he’s not a fan of tattoos.

A QUESTION FROM ROBIN...

Angi asked the Boys and now I’m curious – what is your favorite movie of all time?

6/29/2012

Robin Robin Robin

A NIGHT OF
SOUTHERN COMFORT
Indulgence Entangled Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-62266-942-4

One night of passion... 

Detective Jackson Cantrell never imagined that one night with an irresistible stranger would turn his life upside down. He’s spent years living in the shadows, but Dr. Michaela Roarke awakened a passion inside him he'd buried years ago. 


He never expected the woman would turn out to be the governor's daughter...and his next assignment. The governor blackmails Jackson to secretly watch over Michaela and protect her from a stalker, or kiss his dream job at the FBI good-bye. Swearing to keep things strictly professional, Jackson moves in with Michaela. Too bad his heart can't keep the same promise. 
But when the stalker's attacks quickly escalate beyond mere photographs to bodily harm, Jackson must race to save Michaela's life. And he’ll have to figure out how to keep her once she discovers his lie.

SOUTHERN COMFORT with ROBIN
On her fortieth birthday, ROBIN COVINGTON decided that having a mid-life crisis and finding a boy-toy were far too tacky, so she delved a little deeper into the “bucket list” and pulled out the long-shelved dream of becoming an author. Now, she spends her time writing sizzling romance where the hero and heroine can’t keep their hands off each other.
She doesn’t miss the boy-toy at all.
A NIGHT OF SOUTHERN COMFORT is her debut novel. Robin lives in Maryland with her hilarious husband, brilliant children, and ginormous puppy. 

A DAY WITH ROBIN
ANGI: How often to you get lost in a story?
ROBIN: All the time.  If I get past the first couple of chapters of a book (yes, I have many books that I never finish), it draws me in and keeps me captive until the end. I often get a case of “reader’s grief” after the end of a good book – I think about the book, miss the characters and think about it a lot.   

ANGI: What’s the first book you remember reading? 
ROBIN: My Aunt Nita gave me a book with all of Jane Austen’s books in one volume and I remember spending a summer engrossed in those books.  I grew up next to an apple orchard and I remember sitting in a tree and reading. 
Robin volunteering at my first national booksigning
NYC in 2011
ANGI: What’s your favorite “love” word?
ROBIN: Lovemaking.  This will come as no surprise to those who know me.  But, lovemaking to me is more than just between the sheets. For me it is also the push and pull dynamic between people who struggle to find their place in this world as they find their person in this world. I love writing love scenes because of the endless opportunity to explore character growth. 
ANGI: LOVE THIS !!  It should be a column somewhere! Go for it!

ANGI: Can you tell us about a real-life hero you’ve met?
ROBIN: Oh, wow.  I was lucky to meet author Renee Ryan at RWA Nationals last year and she inspired me with her positive attitude and conviction.  She and I had lunch and I think that she said about 5 things that I immediately wrote down posted on the wall of my writing cave to inspire me.  I had always loved her books and her spirit just spoke to me. 

ANGI: What’s your favorite fairy tale?
ROBIN: It used to be Snow White but I fell in love with Disney’s “Tangled” (I have a 7 year old daughter, Fiona) a couple of years ago.  I even when and re-read the original story – it was great. 
ANGI: What’s your favorite cartoon character?
ROBIN: Superman!  I am an old school comic book geek and I bore my husband and friends with my rants about how the new stuff doesn’t respect the canon of the original comics.  I watched all ten years of the show, Smallville, and was thrilled to find out that the creator, Al Gough, is from the same county I live in.  Total fangirl moment. 

ANGI: What do you like about the hero of your book?
ROBIN: Aaah Jackson . . . . there is so much to love.  But, I think that what I like most about him is his heart.  He has a great capacity to love but he thinks he doesn’t know how to do that anymore, but he does.  He has an untapped well of feeling and when it finally gets loose he is one-hundred percent committed. 

ANGI: Is there a playlist you’d recommend for reading your latest release?
ROBIN: I always have a playlist for my books and this one includes:
Lookin’ for a Good Time by Lady Antebellum
Nothing Fancy by Dave Barnes
Unapologize by Carrie Underwood
Need You Tonight by Ben Rector
Magnet & Steel by Walter Egan
Tomorrow Night by Patty Griffith
Draggin’ the River by Blake Shelton (w/ Miranda Lambert) 

ANGI: Where do you read and how often?
ROBIN: I read in the car and while I am cooking dinner. I have a Kindle and I use the “text to speech” feature to read to me out loud.  I work full-time and have two small kids so after I’ve written my word count and fall into bed, I’m asleep! 

ANGI: What sound or noise do you love?
ROBIN: I love the sound of my kids talking to each other.  They are best friends and I love all of the sweet, funny, inventive things that come out of their mouths. 

ANGI: Fairy Tale or Action Adventure?
ROBIN: Action Adventure!  Especially if has a kick butt heroine like Angelina Jolie in “Salt” or Kate Beckinsale in the Underworld movies. 

ANGI: What was the first story you remember writing?
ROBIN: I took a summer writing workshop when I was 12 or 13 years old. I wrote a story for that class – about a girl who solves mysteries – I think I thought I was Nancy Drew! ; ) 
ANGI: What’s your favorite movie of all time?
ROBIN: “Say Anything”  The character of Lloyd Dobler (and his portrayal by John Cusack) is one of the best ever written.  He is so true to himself and knows who he is – I love that.  And, who can forget him standing in the rain at the payphone telling his sister, “I gave her my heart and she gave me a pen.”  

ANGI: Who’s your favorite villain?
ROBIN: Lady Catherine DeBeourgh from “Pride and Prejudice”  That chick had brass balls and a mean streak a mile wide! 

ANGI: What is your biggest vice?
ROBIN: Haribo Gummie Bears.  I cannot stop eating them and I have them around all the time.  I can be bribed with a bag of gummies! 

ANGI: Is there a “Blooper” in your story (it may have been changed before printing)?
ROBIN: Nope 
ANGI: How is it working with hot guys and sexy women all day?
ROBIN: Ummm . . . you mean the ones that roam around in my head all day, right?  I work with scientists and engineers and a few Naval pilots but none of them look like Tom Cruise or Val Kilmer.  (Don’t, I wish!) And, sadly, there are no shirtless volleyball games either . . . .  

ANGI’S GOTTA ASK: I have to admit, girlfriend, that some of the steamy hunk pictures you’ve used for hero inspiration, well…I put them in a file and use them for mine. I appreciate all the hard work and sharing you do there! LOL My question? WHO is your favorite heroic inspiration (not including your husband or dad)?
ROBIN’S GOTTA ANSWER:   LOL!  You are welcome!  I feel that my man candy pics are a public service to all womankind!   
My favorite heroic inspiration is an 11-year old boy named Brogan.  Sadly, Brogan lost his battle with cancer earlier this year but he was amazing.  He maintained a joyful spirit, his love for his family and friends and his faith right up to the end.  He really lived life to the fullest and it was an honor to see it.
