Muriel…you’re a slut…

I got this review back which said in no uncertain terms that the character in a story I wrote was a slut who enjoyed herself too much by having sex with men. Whore. Tramp. Hussy. Tart. A big scarlet letter on your forehead missy…seriously, I always thought Nathaniel Hawthorne’s Scarlet Letter was a total load of bollocks… but I digress…back to sluts. I admire a reviewer who gives an opinion without fear or favour. I just have to wonder if you read the blurb of an erotic book called Dicking Around, that indicates the heroine has sex with a load of men and likes it, why would you shocked when she has sex with a load of men? Or is it okay to write about a woman having sex with 5 men, all of who usually transform into a wolf pack at night or they're cowboys by day who look at a cow's rear and fantasize about the heroine and who gets to shag her senseless first. I always wonder what the next four guys think after first shagging...but I digress again...what do we label the hero when he sleeps with a bunch of women? Naughty? A Bad boy? Wild? Not the same as the old fashioned and archaic word slut is it?

What exactly is she a slut? The word ‘slut’ was a terrible taunt when I was 8 years old. It was one of those delightfully, naughty words you said because you could and at 8 it’s fun to shock people.

Slut –

A person, especially a woman, considered sexually promiscuous.

A slut is a derogatory term used for a person - usually a woman - who engages in casual sexual behavior.

Slut or slattern is a pejorative term applied to an individual who is considered to have loose sexual morals or who is sexually promiscuous. The term is generally applied to women and is an insult or offensive term of disparagement...

So, Becky-Sue thanks for the review. It gave me a chuckle and I appreciate the time and effort it took you to write the review. As for women calling other women – real or fictitious - who choose to live by their own sexual rules a slut? It’s 2011. The term slut is misguided and old fashioned.

Dicking Around is available at Evernight Publishing.

The Perils of Paula...out now...

Paula Prince is destined to become a hero. But evil lurks in the shadows. There are those who seek to destroy her before she can fulfill her destiny. However four noble men will not let that happen. Their job is to protect and serve those like Paula.

But what of love? That’s the last thing Paula expects. Her life is a mess. Is she falling in love with the protection her boys offer? Can the love of the dark vampire make her accept true love can come at any time?

Be Warned: multiple partners, anal sex.

Excerpt:

Paula rolled over, her thigh rubbed against one man, her hands reached out for another. She smiled. “I’m naked and in bed with two men. Can life get any better?” Her fingers strayed down to one cock as her ass pushed against the other. “Anything this good has to be wrong somehow.” She hadn’t felt this happy or desirable in ages.
“How can it be when it feels so right?” One of the men asked, his lips fastening on her breast.
The suction on her nipple was amazing. Paula sighed and closed her eyes as the fingers of her other lover slide into the crack of her ass. Paula shivered slightly as one digit probed her anus. She was exhausted from being plowed by cock. But it was a good exhausted. A happy tiredness that had Paula feeling more alive than she had in ages.
“My turn.”
Paula held her breath and looked at the dark haired man who entered the bedroom. He was gorgeous, as they all were. But this man? There was something more to him. Every time Paula saw him her heart skipped a beat. It was madness of course. It’s not like we could ever be more than just lovers and yet...
Paula shook her head. There was no place for ‘yets’ in her life. This was what it was. He had made no mention of love or forever so wanting such was pure whimsy on her part. This was pure sex with gorgeous men and wishing it was more was pointless. That she was in bed with two lovers and a third wanted to join in should be taken as just that. While other women might not have understood it, being with multiple lovers made Paula feel good about herself and them. So why ruin it with crazy wishes?
“This is not the time to think, sweetheart. I need to fuck you and I know you need me.”
Paula smiled at the frankness of his need. To give in to desire and not worry about what others thought gave Paula a sense of relief. She could be who she wanted to be without others questioning. Paula saw the look of lust in the eyes of the dark man. She felt the same way. Desperately. As for the other men? They were lovely, desirable, and fun to be with. But the dark haired man? He was different. Paula felt a hunger for him she never dreamed she would feel for another. I know I’ll starve when I walk away from him. And she would have to. Paula knew that. This is not my life.
That she was under the command of these men was thrilling. They were aiding and protecting her, and no one had done that in a long time. It was nice to rely on another’s strength. But one day that protection would no longer be needed, and then what? She pushed at the head of the man at her breast and decided to ignore worrisome thoughts and enjoy the moment. “Sorry, boys. You heard the man.” I need to be with him for however long this lasts.
He reached out his hand to her. To not take it wasn’t something Paula would have considered. He extracted her from between the other two men and started to lead Paula to another room.
A fourth man appeared, tugging on his dick. “What about me?”
“The lady is mine for now. Come back and join us later.”
The blond haired man nodded and left.
I could so easily be yours forever. Paula followed her dark lover. They came to a halt in the cool, white bedroom. He kicked the door shut, pulled her into his arms, and kissed her. Paula collapsed against him. It was the sort of kiss that made her feel like all the bones in her body had turned to jelly and she needed his support, his touch, to keep her strong.
“Sweetheart?” His lips left hers and his tongue trailed down to her jaw line.
“Yes?” Paula knew what he was about to do. She craved the need for the hot, raw heat to surge within her once more.
“You know, this doesn’t solve our problem.” His teeth grazed the skin of her neck.
Paula shivered and held him closer. “No, but as a diversion, it’s fantastic.”
He laughed and slapped her ass. “Yes, but I need to protect you from the shadows. I need you to be safe.
“I only care that you want me.” Her eyes locked with his. Paula knew in her heart this wasn’t a one-sided attraction.
“Oh, I do.” His voice was soft and full of need. “I can’t believe after all this time I’ve found you.”
“But the other boys—”
“They give you pleasure and I could never deny you that.”
I love him. It would have been crazy to say the words out loud, but she knew in her heart it was true. How long they would be together was unknown. All Paula could do was live for the moment. “Let me give you pleasure.” She tilted her head so her neck was fully exposed to his mouth. “Please.” For however long this lasted, Paula wanted to please her lover.
His mouth descended on the thin, pale skin just above her jugular vein and kissed it in a slow, sucking motion.
Paula closed her eyes and held on for what she knew would come next. As his fangs pierced her skin, she cried out but not in fear. It was a cry of satisfaction that her lover could find what he needed in her. “Oh, darling…”

If Not For You

http://www.evernightpublishing.com/products/If-Not-For-You-by-Amarinda-Jones.html

Sequel to The Not So Secret Baby

What do you do when everyone wants you to fall in love? 

That’s the problem Astrid Hammond faces when she holidays on Inis Daire. The local seer decrees she is destined to find the man of her dreams. The townspeople want to see their favorite son happy. But Astrid? She's not so sure. Sex with Connor is amazing but is it happily ever after?

Connor Malone is a Celtic warlock who does his best to heal what nature tries to destroy. He has been waiting for the love of his life, the one who will love and understand him like no other. He knows in his heart it's Astrid. She may think it’s just sex but he’s ready to convince her it’s forever.

Be Warned: anal sex, multiple partners....bad, bad Amarinda....

Excerpt: warning sex and stuff is mentioned...

“Holy fucking hell!” Astrid Hammond gasped, eyes widening in surprise as she took in the scene before her. Two naked men were ramming their dicks hard and fast into the ass and mouth of the naked woman who grasped the thighs of the man in front of her. Astrid dropped down low into the knee-high grass. This wasn’t what she’d expected as she rambled through the countryside. She’d expected to see green fields, some cows, the oak tress that the island, Inis Daire, pronounced Inis Deery, was named after. If a leprechaun had jumped out at her, Astrid wouldn’t have been surprised, and she had to admit she’d been searching for four leaf clovers. But then that’s what tourists did on their holiday. An island like this was so foreign compared to her home in Port Douglas, Australia. But sex in the field with human animals? It wasn’t something she’d seen on a postcard.

Astrid lifted her head and peeked at them. Of course, it was wrong to watch in that train wreck kind of way. Besides they were a good distance from her. She doubted they could see her unless they craned their necks and peered up and to the left, and at the moment, she doubted they would be very interested in doing that.

“Well, I guess I should go and er, do stuff.” But the lure of ‘stuff’ was hard to get excited over when she watched this trio in action. Astrid told her body to move but she was fixed to the spot watching them. There was a strange, raw beauty in their actions. One man fair and the other dark. The woman was buxom, and if Astrid didn’t know better, she’d say pregnant. And if her moans were anything to go by, absolutely enjoying the moment.
“Lucky woman.” Astrid couldn’t remember the last time she’d had excellent, dirty sex. Bad, ordinary, when-will-this-be-over sex was easier to remember. That was three Tuesday’s ago, after a great deal of sangria in a small Spanish town with a waiter who’d over-padded both the bill and his trousers. Both the meal and the sex hadn’t been worth the effort. “You live and learn,” she muttered to herself as she continued watching the trio. She wriggled around on the ground, the inner seam of her shorts pressed against her clit. She was wet just watching them. “But, oh man, I miss good, hard, dirty sex.” Thoughts of unzipping her shorts and toying with her clit came to mind.

But it was at that moment the dark haired man, whose dick was being sucked, turned his head in her direction and their eyes locked.

“Shit.” Astrid dropped her forehead onto the ground. It was beyond tacky watching someone have sex, and yet there she was doing it and she’d been caught. “How weird that he saw me. Or did he?”

http://yougottareadreviews.blogspot.com/2011/06/review-not-so-secret-baby-by-amarinda.html

Random thought #13678...

When I was a kid and someone first explained sex to me I said ‘No way! That so does not happen.” I thought it was the most ridiculous thing I had ever heard. I just could not believe any girl would allow any boy to do that.

Now as I sit and write the sequel to The Not So Secret Baby, I think to myself how much girls really want boys to do that and other things to them and how, unfortunately a lot of women have to find sex in erotic romances rather than with one of those boys….maybe they just never grew up and our imaginations outstripped theirs…just another random thought…

Raw need…

Raw Amarinda Jones

Possibly the most “shocking” story in the collection, this story incorporates the main female character with up to five men. There is plenty of violence as well as oral sex, sex in public, and plenty of voyeurism. There is also one scene that includes some M/M interaction. This story has lots of sex and lets the reader know how Poppy is feeling when faced with the multiple sexual opportunities she is given. Not for the faint of heart, but worth reading at least once.

http://whippedcream2.blogspot.com/2011/05/indecent-encounters-menage-anthology.html?zx=eaaaed37947623ca

I got this review through my inbox. My story was one of several in an anthology called Indecent Encounters. Buy it here ~ http://www.evernightpublishing.com/products/Indecent-Encounters.html from Evernight Publishing. I like the review. It was honest, straightforward and non gushy. The reviewer pegged my story exactly right. It was all that. Indecent. Out there. Raw.

So, what is it women want in a story? At the moment, it seems to be multiple men. Why is that? Ménage is selling like wildfire. Is the romance of one partner not enough? Why are wild, off, the wall anthologies like Indecent Encounters even made and why are they so popular especially in a world where the majority of people – no, it may not be you – are very careful about sex and crave the deep commitment of one person who really understands them and if sex was taken out of the relationship it would still endure because that deep love it there. Or are we just wanting to bust loose and get down and dirty with a bunch of men for a wild ride? Is the only way to give into this raw need by reading dirty, scandalous books?

I tend to believe we like to have our careful vanilla worlds jolted every so often with the extreme. I’m just not sure why in the majority of ménage books it always seems to be 4 men and one woman…why 4? One was for morning, lunchtime, afternoon and maybe one for a midnight snack?

The Not So Secret Baby...out now, baby...

“I’m pregnant.” Those were the last words Izzy Mack ever expected to say. She turned to her friend and waited for the response.
“Holy fucking hell!” Cilla Brown’s eyes were opened wide in astonishment.
Yeah, that about summed up Izzy’s own reaction when she first read the home pregnancy test. It was only when her doctor confirmed it that she had been lost for words. Izzy pushed the shoulder length brown hair from her neck. It was hot and sticky in Cairns. Long hair and humidity didn’t mix in the tropics.
“I just don’t understand how it happened.”
Cilla raised her brows. “Well, it takes a man and a woman, who are horny and—”
“I mean I’m on the pill. He used a condom.” Unexpected pregnancies happened on soap operas and in terrible millionaire-Arab-sheik-seduces-the-wholesome-virgin-nurse romance books.
“Nothing is foolproof, Iz. Condoms tear and the pill isn’t always magical in its ability to stop the body doing what it’s programmed to do.”
“I know but…”
“Yeah, you never think it will happen to you.”
But it did. Izzy, at thirty-two years of age, was preggers, up the duff, and had the proverbial bun in the oven. She thought back to the man and the moment. That was easy to do. There had been no other lovers in her life since that night five weeks ago. In fact, none for months before that. Izzy had gone cold turkey on men. While she enjoyed sex, she wanted more. And then Izzy met him.
“He said he was a prince.”
“They all do, honey, when they want sex,” quipped Cilla.
“Yeah, I know but still there was something—”
“Princely about him? Did he have a black credit card?”
“Huh?” Izzy wondered what tangent Cilla was taking.
Her friend waved her hands in the air. “Oh you know. When Prince Fredrick of Denmark met Aussie girl Mary Donaldson he pulled out a black credit card and everyone knew he was a prince.”
“That wasn’t what he pulled out that caught my attention.”

New cover...

I like it...hands are in the most interesting places...

Not so secret…

I was reading an excerpt from a story that was one of those arab-sheik-doctor-millionaire-playboy-shags-the poor-virgin-nurse-and gets her preggers books and I thought, huh, I could write one of these. So I started out to write one and three pages in I realized while I can write soap opera, I can’t seriously write about some dominating twit who ‘commands’ a woman to leave the life she has known to be his wife. Yes, yes, I know she really, secretly loves him, and ditto for him, and she likes to be dominated as it makes her feel like she’s needed and the sprog she’s carrying needs to know his/her father but it’s just not me. While every writer, whether they admit to it or not, will jump on the whatever-is-selling-bandwagon, it’s hard to go against what you believe and the inherent nature of who you are as a person.

Anyway, I didn’t trash the story. I changed it. I made it into my version of the whole secret baby deal and called in The Not So Secret Baby©. I believe it comes out in May…in the end ya gotta be who you are.

Strip For Me....

Strip For me is out today at Evernight Publishing…

Rett Cameron is stranded in Resort City without a cent to her name. She wants to go home to Australia but how does she do that without money? When one of the locals offers to pay her for sexual services she’s stunned. Sex with strangers? For money? Or is there more involved?

Hamish Clark the local strip club owner has a suggestion for Rett. Strip for me and I’ll pay you. The minute he saw Rett he wanted her. He soon discovers she has other needs than just money. But Hamish has a problem. Not all women like him. One wants him dead.

Okay, so this is the story that has the cover that made You Tube give me a cyber wrist slap due to the controversial nature of it. Strip for Me does have sex in it. It also has nudity. The two tend to go together. I gotta’ tell you - erotic romance does have these two elements otherwise the ‘erotic’ tag would be incorrect. Is the woman naked on the cover? No. Is she in the act of getting naked? That’s for the reader to judge.

Judge a book by its cover? Of course we do. You can make that judgment on Strip for Me by clicking here - http://www.evernightpublishing.com/products/Strip-For-Me-by-Amarinda-Jones.html

Bad Amarinda...

So, I updated the Sex Odyssey series video I had put on You Tube with these two covers. They’re the 5th and 6th in the series and all covers have been hot, naked and no holds barred. Why? Because the stories in Sex Odyssey are just that. Controversial. Anyway, You Tube had a hissy fit and sent me a note indicating I was particularly naughty with these two covers and that they violated something or other and I have a ‘strike against’ my name and ydah, ydah, ydah. Now, while it is completely their prerogative to decide content, I would take the whole Bad Amarinda thing more seriously if they had done it months ago when the first lot of our naked, controversial covers went up – or if they actually had a look at the graphically porno videos that are already on You Tube that make my book trailer look tame. But there it is. The secret police have rules for some and not for others. Am I annoyed? Nope. Just amused. If you can’t be good then be controversial…

Dicking Around by Amarinda Jones - Evernight Publishing

Dicking Around by Amarinda Jones - Evernight Publishing

Sex to Carlisle is like breathing. She needs it. She craves it. The three horny men in her life each bring a delicious element of excitement to her. To love, submit and obey becomes her world and Carlisle delights in every dirty, sexy moment of it.

Her soon-to-be married sister thinks Carlisle should be more responsible and stop dicking around. But that’s not about to happen any time soon. Especially not when there are two thieves, an irate ex-girlfriend and a sexually explicit video to deal with.

Be Warned: multiple partners, menage sex, anal sex, forced seduction, public exhibition, sex toys.

Dicking Around...coming soon...

Dicking Around - one woman, three men, two thieves, a pissed of ex-girlfriend and the bride for hell...coming soon from Evernight Publishing...

Bridget rounded on his sister. “You’re late.”
“It’s a rehearsal dinner for god sake. It’s not like it’s the real thing that we have to suffer through tomorrow.” Carlisle was tired from work and sex and men and the last thing she needed was dealing with her sister. They had never gotten along. There was no point trying to play the happy family now.
“This is what I hate about you, Carlisle. You never take important things seriously.” Bridget then recited a long list of her sister’s faults.
Carlisle yawned as Bridget went off on another of her tirades about Carlisle’s lax attitude on life. Whine. Bitch. Moan. She looked at the ever-so-perfect-not-a-hair-out-of-place Neil. The Groom. Sucker. She heard Bridget draw a breath.
“Finished?”
Bridget sighed. “This is why I didn’t want you in the wedding party.”
“And lord knows I thank you for that as bilious green is so not my color.”
“Bitch!” Bridget yelled and stamped her foot.
“Cow,” Carlisle responded overly politely.
“Girls, please!” Lydia Carson came up to her daughters.
Bridget turned on her sister. “She started it, mother. You should have seen how I found her at her house the other day. She was nak—”
Carlisle yanked her sister’s arm so she banged into her. She whispered in Bridget’s ear. “Say another word and I’ll tell the man of plastic Neil about your liaison with Mr. Phelps and the female hockey coach in the nurse’s room at school. Can you say strap-on, Bridg?”
Their mother stared at them. “What is going on between you girls?”
“Nothing.” They both said at the same time.
“Try and act with a bit of decorum, Carlisle.”
Yeah it’s always my fault. Never perfectly anal Bridget’s.
“Have you got a dress for tomorrow?” Both women looked at Carlisle.
“Yes of course.” Sorta. Kinda. Well—no. I probably should look into that.
“Are you going to have an escort?” Her mother asked.
“Why?” Carlisle said it purely to piss her mother off. Lydia saw the world in perfectly coordinated male-female couples.
“Well, he should be here.”
Carlisle snorted. “To listen to this crap?”
“Carlisle!”
“Actually, I have three ‘escorts’.”
Bridget roiled her eyes. “Disgusting.”
“What? Pissed off that you’re stuck with marrying a Ken doll?”
“Neil is not!”
“Whatever.” Carlisle turned to her mother. She had no connection other than blood to these women and at times even that wasn’t enough. “Do I have to stay for this?”
“Maybe it would be better if you left,” Lydia responded. “And do please remember to bring those data sticks with you tomorrow.”
Carlisle had placed all the old family albums on USB sticks. Her mother wanted to show them at the wedding. And bore everyone’s socks off.
“Great. Yep, Sure. Whatever.” I’m free!
“Drop dead,” the bride muttered at Carlisle as she passed by.
“After you, Barbie.”

Eat Me Up....

This is a cover I initially had objections with. Why? One of her hands was down the front of her pants. I indicated to the publisher that I personally did not want to see a woman with her hand down her pants on a cover. Why? It’s tacky. The book is read by women. How many women want to see another woman with her hand in her pants? It also begs the question of if she can ‘do it herself’ why does she need these men? Hmmm? And no, I have no idea why she has her hand up in the air unless she is asking permission from these men to do something….

Blurb

When Victoria O’Connell travels to meet her long time pen pal the last thing she expects is to find herself the star of a porn movie. Yes, the sex was amazing but a girl likes to know when she’s being filmed.

Shane and Lucas need Victoria for their own movie. She’s appalled yet intrigued at their proposition. Good girls don’t fuck strangers. But then Victoria never said she was good.

Eat Me Up – book 3 in the Sex Odyssey series is out in February through Evernight Publishing.
