Shared By the Highlander by Ashe Barker

       

Today my guest is Ashe Barker.  Her new time travel romance is hot, hot, HOT! That's why it's at the top of Amazon's Historical Erotica list. 

 Hi Kallista.  Thank you so much for inviting me over to your blog today. It’s great to be here, and I’m so happy to have an exciting new book to chat about.

     Shared by the Highlanders was a dream to write, bringing together several of my favourite erotic romance themes - time travel, ménage, and of course a pair of super hot, sexy highlanders.

     There’s something deeply engaging for me in the idea that a person can be pulled forward or backward in time, finding themselves in an environment which is the same, yet alien. It underscores, I suppose, how much our world changes in a relatively short space of time, yet some things remain timeless.

      For an erotic author time travel is just a perfect combination, a blend of historical fantasy with the liberations that allows around such complications as corporal punishment, with a dose of fantasy/sci fi thrown in. I read lots of time travel stories, whenever I can get my hands on them in fact. Usually the main characters end up going back in time, though not always of course. In Shared by the Highlanders it works both ways – the heroine slips back to sixteenth century Scotland, then returns to her own time, with two rugged highlanders in tow. Those were some of the most fun scenes to write – imagine two fierce warriors from the Court of Mary Queen of Scots trying to make sense of a motor way service area, air travel, a lift in a high-rise block of flats.   

Here’s the blurb…

     After she becomes lost in a thick mist while hiking near the borders of Scotland, Charlene Kelly is shocked to encounter two men on horseback. To her horror, the pair—both of whom are dressed in Scottish tartans—accost her and won’t let her go. Though the men speak with accents so strong they seem to come from another era, Charlene is able to gather that they believe she is a thieving boy. Unsure what else to do, Charlene plays along. 

     When Will Sinclair and Robbie MacBride discover that their captive is in fact a woman—and quite a beautiful one at that—there is only one thing to be done. She must be punished for her deception, and punished thoroughly. A switch applied to her bare bottom does the job well, and soon enough the two men are comforting Charlene as she nurses her bright red, sore backside. 

     Upon learning that the highlanders are hand-carrying an important message from Elizabeth of England to the court of Mary, Queen of Scots, it finally dawns on Charlene that she is no longer in her own time. Though she is desperate to find a way home, Will and Robbie are both unlike any man she has ever met, and their unabashed dominance awakens in her a powerful need to submit. Soon enough, she finds herself blushing with shame and quivering with desire as she is taken long and hard by two rugged highlanders at once. But can these hardened warriors keep her safe from the perils of a world far more dangerous than the one she left behind? 

Publisher’s Note: Shared by the Highlanders is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes including threesomes, anal play.

     And of course I have an excerpt to share. In this snippet Charlie is just being reminded of the consequences of disobedience.

     "Did I mention, that's a very fetching dress, wee Charlie?  Elspeth did you proud." Will's lip quirks as he pours each of us a generous goblet of wine from the flagon which had been left in Robbie's room

     I do a quick twirl, enjoying the unfamiliar sensation as the fabric brushes against my legs. Never especially interested in fashion, I'm usually a jeans or miniskirt sort of a girl. Nevertheless I love my new outfit. It feels feminine and sort of right, for here. Maybe I'm acclimatising to my new situation. Just a bit.

     "Do you need assistance in getting out of it?" Helpful as ever, Robbie grins at me from his vantage point propped up against his pillows. This room is about twice the size of mine so I think Will was probably correct in assuming Robbie would have been afforded the best accommodations. The bed is huge, a fact I daresay we will all be glad of before much longer.

     I appreciate the offer. "Yes, I think I may. It sort of ties at the back, I think. I don't have enough hands..."

Will saunters across the room to pass Robbie his wine. "Leave the dress for now, we'll come to that soon enough. For now, I think we'd both appreciate it if you'd consent to lie across the bed, face down, and raise your skirts please."

     "I...oh!"

     "A decent spanking seems in order, given that you totally disregarded our clear instructions not to speak out and betray our somewhat perilous situation.” Will pauses to peer at me. “You look a little pale, would you like a sip of wine, Charlie?" He offers me a goblet, which I take though I don't drink from it.

     "But, Elspeth is a friend. She doesn't count." I'm looking from one to the other, bewildered and more than a little scared. I hadn't expected this.

     Robbie shifts, and I see to my dismay that he is removing the leather belt securing his kilt. "It is indeed fortunate for you that she is a friend. A good friend, of mine at least and now yours too though she remains somewhat hostile to her one-time betrothed here. She has an unforgiving nature, does Elspeth, and it's best not to rile her. However the point remains, you had instructions which you choose to disregard. Hence, a spanking."

     Even as I quake at the prospect of what's coming, my pussy spasms and starts to moisten. It would seem I'm discovering my inner pain slut. Still, this is unjust and some protest seems in order. "But, surely you can't be angry with me. Not truly. Not for that."

     Will quirks his lip in a sexy grin. "Do we look angry to you? Either of us?"

     "Well, no, not angry exactly."

     "Exactly. Robbie's correct, you do need to be cautious, but it seems not around Elspeth, as you so rightly point out. I wish I could say the same for myself.” He gives a rueful toss of his head. “But you weren’t to know that when you were so free with your tongue and it’s clear you have a lesson to learn. We’ll see to that, then if you show proper contrition we might proceed to an entirely different sort of spanking, one far more to your liking." Will tilts his chin towards the bed, which Robbie has now vacated. "Your skirts, Charlie. Around your waist if you please."

Ashe's Bio:

I’ve been an avid reader of fiction for many years, erotic and other genres. I still love reading, the hotter the better. But now I have a good excuse for my guilty pleasure – research.

I tend to draw on my own experience to lend colour, detail and realism to my plots and characters. An incident here, a chance remark there, a bizarre event or quirky character, any of these can spark a story idea.

When not writing – which is not very often these days - my time is divided between my role as resident taxi driver for my teenage daughter, and caring for a menagerie of dogs, rabbits, tortoises.  And a very grumpy cockatiel. 

I have twenty four (at the last count) titles on general release with publishers on both sides of the Atlantic, and I have several more in the pipeline. All my books feature BDSM. I write explicit stories, always hot, but they offer far more than just sizzling sex. I like to read about complex characters, and compelling plots, so that’s what I write too. Strong, demanding Doms are a given, often paired with new submissives who have a lot to learn.

I have a pile of story ideas still to work through, and keep thinking of new ones at the most unlikely moments, so you can expect to see a lot more from me.

Reunion - Victorian Age Play From Maggie Ryan

    Today I have the pleasure of hosting Maggie Ryan.  She brought along a hot spanking scene from Reunion, her new Victorian age play novel.  Maggie, what inspired you to write your first book?
     I've been writing for as long as I can remember, but the first book I wrote for actual submission was actually written on a dare.
     Maggie, I'm sure this excerpt would have been considered quite daring back in the Victorian era!
     As she turned to obey, Lucas couldn't help but smile. It was a dichotomy of innocence and guilt. From the front, she looked like a properly dressed young lady. However, the moment she turned, her bare bottom was presented, and he could see she was clenching and unclenching the plump globes. She returned to stand before him, the heavy wooden brush in her hand. Lifting it, she held it out to him.
     "I'm sorry, Papa." Her voice was soft. "I shouldn't have gone outside. I shouldn't have gone to the barn. It was wrong."
     "Yes, it was," Lucas agreed as he took the brush, and used his free hand to take one of hers, guiding her down across his knee. Lifting his other leg, he crossed both of hers in a silent communication that the spanking was going to be having her kicking her legs unless they were contained. "Give me your hands."
     Once her hands were behind her back, he gripped them in one of his. "Let's heat this bottom up, shall we?" He didn't expect an answer and didn't wait for one. Placing the brush on the table by the chair, he began with his hand.
     Smack…smack…smack… resounded again and again as his palm connected to her backside. He continued, each smack crisp and distinct as he covered the entire surface of her bottom, not pausing until her skin was flushed pink and her soft mews had turned into louder moans. Picking up the brush, he rubbed it against her flesh. 
      "I am extremely disappointed in you. You were well aware of what I meant, and yet tried to twist my words around to justify your actions. You knew that when the weather clears, I would escort you to see Delilah. Instead, you made a conscious decision to disobey your Papa. A decision that might have had horrid consequences if Diablo had got away from Jasper. I will not tolerate deliberate disobedience, Lucille."
     "I'm so sorry, Papa."
     "Then let this lesson remind you what happens to little girls who don't wish to be obedient." The brush lifted and landed with a solid thwack, bouncing off her bottom, leaving a white oval that quickly turned red. Each stroke left its mark, her bottom quickly turning from pink to red, her tears flowing as she began to wail and sob. The brush delivered a much harder stroke than his hand, and her bottom was soon bucking and churning over his lap.
     "Be still, Lucille. Prove you are sorry by accepting your paddling. Relax your buttocks and push your naughty bottom up for your Papa," he said.

Reunion
In this, the third book of the best-selling Hunter’s Ridge series, twin sisters, Louisa and Lucy, are looking forward to reuniting after several months apart. Though they correspond regularly, letters are nothing compared to being together, sharing their lives, and whispering their secrets to one another.

Anticipation has caused both to be naughtier than usual—but their husbands, who are also very strict Papas, have no hesitation in reminding them what happens when their Little brides test the rules.

After a very educational evening visit to Miss Eleanor Summers' school, Louisa’s eyes are opened to what might be if she continues her bratty ways—and her attitude is quickly adjusted. Lord Edward Wintercrest has not only taken possession of an intriguing box from Eleanor to share with his best friend and Lucy’s Papa, Lord Lucas Huntington, he has also ensured that the long carriage ride to Hunter’s Ridge will offer his precious little lady comfort and distraction from boredom.

Lucas’ family is excited about the upcoming visit as they prepare for the holidays and the final ball of the season. And Lord Stefan Northbridge is not one to sit idly aside when there is a chance to do a bit of matchmaking. Will Franny be able to trust another suitor after her narrow escape from the clutches of Lord Drakemore?

Is Ettie ready to put away her childhood toys as she enters the grown-up world, or is she looking for a man far more like her brother than Lucas realizes?

Only a few things are certain: no matter what the future holds for the others at Hunter’s Ridge, both Lucy and Louisa will continue to be cherished and coddled by their husbands—and their Papas will always be there to remind them of their vows to submit. With their unwavering love for these precious women, and unfaltering attention to their backsides whenever they step out of line, this reunion exceeds both sisters' expectations.

Once again, Maggie Ryan, the queen of Victorian ageplay erotica, combines love, friendship, humor, and delicious scenes of discipline and lust to tell a story that is as heartwarming as it is sexy.

From the Author:
     I have been writing stories as long as I can remember. I am an author with Blushing Books. I enjoy writing both contemporary erotica as well as historical books set in ages past. I love developing characters that are able to tell their own stories. My heroines are multi-faceted women who are strong, intelligent and capable in their own right but find a deep need to share their lives with those strong, sexy and dominant alpha males that capture their hearts. My heros recognize the gift of submission for the gift it is, loving and protecting the women that offer that gift.
     I enjoy sweet, romantic stories with just a taste of domestic discipline as well as one that explore the harsher D/S lifestyle. I also enjoy writing age-play stories set both in Victorian era where women didn't have a great deal of power in their lives as well as in today's present time where women still find their happiness is greatly enhanced in offering the gift of submission. My hope is that you settle back in your favorite chair and allow my books to entertain you and let you escape into another world.

New Release! Taken and Tamed

                       
     It's getting hot - and I don't mean outside!  This week on Saturday Spankings I'm previewing my newest contemporary erotic romance Taken and Tamed, coming out this weekend on Amazon.

     True crime author Cass Newcombe has interviewed everyone from white collar criminals to serial killers on death row.  But when she interrupts a breakout in progress and is taken hostage by former mob enforcer Zander Coleman, she finds herself in way over her head with this bad boy.
      Here's my eight sentence teaser:

“I do a lot of research, Mr. Coleman.  I’ve learned how to appeal to ‘your average horny psychopath.’  But you’re not like them.  That’s clear.”  She lowered her voice too, forced a note of warmth into it, trying to establish herself as an ally, not a victim.  “I’d like to know you better.”

His response sent a shiver down her back.  “You’re right.  I’m not like the others you’ve interviewed.  I’m an ‘above average’ horny psychopath.  And since I’m stuck with you for the time being, I’m planning to find out just how naughty Daddy’s little girl can be.”

Taken and Tamed

As an author of true-crime novels, Cass Newcombe has visited supermax prisons, interviewed hit men, and explored the minds of serial killers. But none of that could have prepared her for Zander Coleman. Within moments of meeting Cass, the devastatingly handsome former mob enforcer has broken through her professional persona in a way few men ever have before, leaving her heart racing and her mind filled with images of her naked, bound, and at his mercy.

To her shock, Cass’s interview with Zander has barely ended when she suddenly becomes an unwilling participant in a prison break. After using her as a hostage to make his getaway, Zander heads for a secluded cabin deep in the Blue Ridge Mountains with Cass along for the ride. Despite his promise to release her once the search for him has died down, Cass is determined to make a run for it sooner rather than later.

But Zander is not a man to be outwitted easily, and after a failed attempt at escape she ends up thrown over his shoulder and dragged unceremoniously back to the cabin. Stripped bare and held over his lap for a long, hard spanking which leaves her sobbing and promising obedience, Cass has never felt so humiliated in her life. Yet when the punishment ends at last and Zander tosses her on a bed and takes her long and hard, Cass finds herself not only submitting willingly but actually yearning for more.

Though Zander knows it’s only a matter of time before they’re tracked down, he cannot deny that he is beginning to feel more than just a powerful lust for his sexy captive. But he has a secret he doesn’t dare share with Cass… one that could easily cost them both their lives.

Publisher’s Note: Taken and Tamed is an erotic romance novel that includes spankings, sexual scenes, anal play, elements of BDSM, and more. If such material offends you, please don’t buy this book.

Ready for more hot spankings?  Hop on -

She's Been Bared and Bound - New Release Coming Soon!

                           
   Welcome to Saturday Spankings, where your favorite authors tease you with eight tantalizing sentences from one of their hottest scenes.
     Today I'm bringing you a sneak peek at my new work-in-progress coming soon from Stormy Night Publishing. Working title - Willing Captive.  It's so new we don't even have a cover yet!
     Cassandra hasn't had a boyfriend in a long time.  It's hard to meet a nice guy when you make your living interviewing criminals and then writing about them.  She's working on a new piece about an enforcer for the Mob who's about to enter the Witness Protection Program when he suddenly makes a break for it, dragging her along with him.  Now they're holed up all alone in a deserted cabin deep in the mountains.

     Zander turned off the water and scooped her into his arms.  He carried her to the bed, both of them naked and dripping wet, and laid her in the center on her back.  Grabbing the ropes he’d used last night to restrain her, he pulled her wrists over her head and tied them together, then fastened the other end of the rope around the center wooden spindle in the headboard.

     He grabbed her ankles one at a time and tied them to the end posts at the foot of the bed.  When he finished, he knelt between her legs, looking down at her with raw hunger in his eyes. 

     “I’ve wanted to do this since the moment you walked into that room in Atlanta.  You were all business on the outside - except for those fuck-me shoes you had on.  One look at them and I knew you were begging for someone to take over and fuck you like you’ve always wanted to be fucked.” 

     I'll be posting the cover soon.  In the meantime, hop on and get another spanking!

Mystery, Thrills, Romance - And Spankings! It's Patricia Green's Striker

     They've got to find a cruel serial killer, but their attraction might be deadlier.
     What a great tag line!  Patricia Green is with me today, bringing along an excerpt from her new release Striker.  It's a mystery, it's a suspense thriller, it's a spanking romance - everything we love in one package.

Here's a little taste:
     Donati and I both sat. “What’s this about, Striker? Problems with the case already?”
     “Not exactly, sir. More like with the partner you’ve given me. I’ve been operating pretty well since Smitty retired. I don’t need a wet-behind-the-ears rookie to babysit.”
     He leaned back in his chair and looked at me, his eyes inscrutable. Perhaps five seconds passed. I began to think I was supposed to say something else, but finally, he spoke. “Piccolino is qualified, Striker, or I never would have assigned her to you. She was one of the best detectives on the Vice Squad, an undercover operative who pulled in the bad guys like nobody’s business. But she became a known quantity on the street. Crooks had a habit of getting put away when she was around, and it seemed wiser to give her a different assignment where she could be herself.”
     “She looks like a teenager, sir. She even dresses like a teenager. Since when does a pink hoodie and a miniskirt qualify as professional clothes? How does that reflect on the department?”
     “Yeah, I already talked to her about that. She’ll be more business-like in the future.”
     I had my doubts, but kept them to myself. “How old is she? Twenty? How’d she get promoted so fast? Was she that hot with Vice?”
     “She’s twenty-six, but you could have asked her yourself. Piccolino just looks like a teenager. It’s gotten her pretty far, but she’s done her time on the team. I think you’ll find her knowledgeable. The only thing is…”
     Oh, great. There was a but in there. “Yeah?”
     “She’s a little bit of a hotshot. Takes chances when maybe she shouldn’t. When she was out on the streets with punks on her case, she had to be sharp and steady working on her own. It got her used to risky police work.”
     Honest to God, I tried not to grit my teeth. My dentist would have caught me, but Donati didn’t. “So, I’m supposed to keep her in line, while training her for the Homicide Division, and solving crimes. Piece of cake,” I said, scowling.
     “Damn it, Striker. Stop whining and get to work. You have a partner. She’s talented. You have experience and will be perfect for showing her the ropes. Now, get outta here.”
     Maybe I was whining. The thing is, I enjoyed working on my own. When my partner retired, it was like I’d been freed from lock down. I could handle the cases the way I wanted to, following a logical progression, rather than following hunches and guesses. Sure, sometimes a hunch can lead you to an answer, but just as often they waste your time. Maybe Piccolino was meticulous, too. I wouldn’t know if I didn’t give her a chance.
     “Okay,” I said as I rose and turned toward the door.
     “Oh, and Striker—”
     “Yeah?”
     “Don’t fuck it up.”
     What could I say to that? I twisted the doorknob and made my silent exit.

Jase Striker, police detective and gritty noire aficionado, doesn't want a partner on the job. When saddled with a sexy new colleague—a rookie in the Homicide division—he's at first irritable. Over time that irritation slowly morphs into a blistering passion, taking their partnership to a new, erotic level that includes a bare-bottomed spanking when needed. But he fears what mixing work with pleasure will do to his crime fighting abilities.

Rookie homicide detective, Angelica Piccolino, is tired of being treated like a kid though her diminutive size and grunge look add to that impression. But she's 26, and no stranger to the street or the bedroom. A real woman can take a spanking now and then...as long as it's from a man she respects.

Forced to work together as a team, Striker and Piccolino investigate a heartbreaking case involving three young women, murdered and left like human garbage, except for a single white rose.  The detectives need to discover the identity of the white rose murderer fast--before another victim turns up.
