Sample of WIP


Hiya ladies and gents.  I just wanted to share a quick clip of something I'm working on.

Reaching yet another voice-mail message Gabriela Sophia Lopez or Gabby as she was better known to her friends was ready to spit fire.   It was impossible to rely on her girlfriends.  So much for workout buddies.  So far this was the second Saturday they had cancelled on her.  Knowing both Cassandra and Lupe since the freshman year in high school Gabby would bet good money they were out all night partying and were now crashing until noon.    

“Must be nice,” she said to no one but herself.  iPhone, headphones and keys in one hand she opened the heavy glass door with a twist and pull, a cool blast of air hit her as she stepped into the large room.  

Waving hello to a few regulars she recognized on stationary bikes Gabby walked past the elliptical machines and straight towards her preferred treadmill, third row center, with the best view of the basketball and tennis courts, thankfully it was empty.   

Saturday mornings brought out the guys playing a good old fashioned “shirts vs. skins” game.  Her favorite.   Until she started working out in the Shadow Palms Fitness Center a few months ago, Gabby never knew she had so many hunky neighbors.  Her girlfriends had no idea what they were missing...

Sample of "Untouchable"

Hi ladies and gents.  Just wanted to share a brief sample of a story I am currently working on.  Feed back is welcome.

Normally men didn’t make her a nervous wreck but Rick wasn’t like the men Michelle usually encountered.  Normal men didn’t stand at six and a half feet tall with broad shoulders and bulging biceps or have wicked smiles that sent shivers up her spine.   Normal men didn’t cause goose bumps with the sound of their voice.   

The not so normal man was currently nowhere to be seen.  Twenty minutes ago was a different story, he’d been seated in front of her.  Throughout the entire night the heated glances he sent her way wreaked havoc on her hormones.  She tried to focus on her surrounds.  The dark night brightened by a full moon and silvery stars.  The private beach of white sands painted the perfect post card image of Florida.  If you ever want to make a friend or loved one feel miserable you could send them a picture of the view from Diego’s vacation home on Melbourne Beach. 

The place was breathtakingly beautiful but not enough to distract having a sexy, single, straight man dangled in front of a woman who hadn’t had sex in over a year.  Add to the facts that know she was being asked to interact with him out of her element.  Work.

At work was casual.  Professional.  Brief.  To the point.  She never socialized with him outside of the office until now and thanks to her boss celebrating his fiftieth birthday and inviting some of his closest friends along with his three business partners and their wives, Rick and Michelle were now out here for a long weekend of fun in the sun.  It was only their first night there and Michelle was beginning to regret ever hopping on the private plan that picked them up a few hours ago.

Breaking the Rules...Smells so good


This one is for Deb...hope you enjoy an unedited excerpt from Breaking the Rules, the follow up story to Second Chances.  Feedback is welcome.  

**Warning story is erotic in nature and is for adult readers only***

Taking advantage of Tony’s state of deep sleep, Rachel slowly slid under the cool bed sheets and lowered her head to the semi erect cock that tented the fabric.  With a hand on each side of his muscled thighs she nuzzled the dark hair that covered them and inhaled his crisp clean masculine musk.  The intoxicating scent made her mouth water.  Never in her twenty nine years would she have imagined being drawn to a man’s cock for the mere scent.  Biting her lower lip Rachel held back a laugh.  Tony was definitely a good change in her life.  Taking another deep breathe in she felt him shift slightly making her stop momentarily.



“Are you okay down there?” Tony asked with a chuckle in his rough morning voice.



Smiling to no one but herself Rachel sat back on her heels letting the sheet slide off.  Streaks of the morning sunlight peaked through the cracks in the blinds covering the tall windows of her room granting her a wonderful view of his muscular chest and tattooed arms.  “Good morning,” she leaned forward and dropped a kiss on his sculpted abs.  The muscles below his tanned skin bunched up then relaxed.



Sitting up Tony lifted her by the arms and pulled her to kiss her mouth. “Good morning to you,” he whispered trailing his mouth down her chin then up to her ear.  With a lick and a tug he told her, “Seemed like you were lost for a minute” he breathed against her skin and rubbed his now fully erect cock brush against her inner thighs that were now slick with her arousal.  He did this to her everytime. 



With a moan Rachel kissed him back flicking her tongue against his plump lower lip then tugged it in deeper until he responded with equal hunger.  Her pussy fluttered with need but she pulled away from him, “I was just enjoying how good you smell” Rachel told him kissing and nibbling down his neck, laved at his collarbone then ventured lowered.  She covered his tattooed chest with wet kisses before she stopped to suck and pull the metal barbell pierced through his left nipple.



 “Thank you?” his eyebrows rose in question as she continued rousing his senses and licked a path across his chest, tugging on his other nipple, “No one’s ever said that before.”



With an ear to ear grin Rachel continued on her way to originally destination, his delicious cock.  “Really? What do they usually say?” she asked reaching the patch of closely trimmed curls around his long hard shaft.

Tony let out a deep masculine moan, “Do you really want to hear this while you’re doing that?” he asked obviously frustrated by her teasing. His chest heaved heavily.



Wrapping a hand at the base Rachel gave him a few gentle pulls, “Yes. Tell me,” she wanted to know what his previous lovers thought of his magnificent cock.  It was a good nine inches when fully erect, perfectly formed, thick but not outrageously so.  There was such a thing as too big, at least for her.



Tony covered her hand with his own guiding it up and down in lazy slow strokes. Clearing his throat he finally answered, “They’ve said that it was hard… and long… and thick…” he told her before going silent when she lowered her head again and swiped her tongue across the slit licking up the drops of liquid that pearled there.  He tasted sweet and salty and spicy and manly.



“Yes, those are true but you also smell good and taste just as wonderful” With that she licked him from head to base then back up again.  She applied pressure to the large vein that coursed under it then repeated the same treatment to the rest of his shaft.  Finally when his hot flesh throbbed under her Rachel took him in her mouth and sucked hard bring the spongy flesh to the back of her throat then retracted causing Tony to groan...

Shadow Cat - Book Review

Reviewed by request of author.



Shadow Cat by Reena Jacobs is a paranormal erotic romance that takes place in the Malaysian rain forest. On a research expedition that pharmaceutical CEO Eric Randall meant to be a working vacation and an attempt to get away from a marriage obsessed girlfriend, he finds himself drawn to a beautiful native, attacked, left for dead and then rescued by our heroine. Berani is a Kemering (wehr-tiger) and healer who is trying to get the researchers off her land and protect her clan when she stumbles upon Eric. Even with language as a barrier and the constant obstacles thrown at them: his fever hallucinations of her trying to harm him, her attracting other males when she goes into heat and attacks by blood sucking creatures, Eric and Berani fight it out together and have their HEA (happily ever after).

Well written, very detailed and steamy hot where it needed to be. This is the first of Ms. Jacobs’ books that I’ve had a chance to read and hope that it won’t be the last.

4 stars
