USA Today bestselling author Lauren Dane serves up a sweet, sensual, and hot-to-the-touch novel in which one woman’s most intimate desires are stirred by two very special ingredients
Juliet Lamprey is having the time of her life running her successful bakery, TART, when Gideon Carter comes back into her life. Returning home to help his grandfather run the family on the farm, Gideon is back for good. When they meet again, the spark between them is immediate, and it isn’t long before the former childhood friends play catch up in bed.
That’s not good news for local lawyer Cal Whaley. Though the sexually open but strictly monogamous Cal has loved Jules for a long time, he’s hardly ever taken it further than friendship. When he sees her start to fall for Gideon, he knows he has to make his move or risk losing her forever.
Who would have anticipated that all three of them would connect on such an intimate level? The trio’s scalding liaisons take them places they’ve never dreamed. But such an intensely passionate and unusual relationship comes with equally as complicated emotions, and when Jules must suddenly leave town, she wonders if she’ll have a choice to make when she returns

He knocked on Gideon’s door and when Gideon opened, once he was sure Patrick wasn’t down visiting, Cal came in, slammed and locked the door behind him and looked Gideon over.
Gideon’s surprise melted into something else. Heat rose between them.
“I was just at Jules’ where she kicked me out and told me to come have hot gay sex with you.”
“She’s in a mood. I tried to coax her to come over tonight too. She told me she was feeling stabbity and to go away. A woman says she’s feeling stabbity or anything related to stabbing and you give her space. As for hot gay sex…” He’d been wearing loose pants and he pulled them down, until his cock sprang free, hard. Cal’s mouth watered as Gideon reached down and fisted himself a few times. “Bring it.”
Today’s prize is a signed copy of LAID BARE. The winner will be chosen from the comments and announced on the next prize announcement day, Monday April 9. Winner is responsible for checking back to see if their name has been chosen.

That is all sorts of hotness!!!!! I am taking an on-line writing workshop on writing category romance, and we had to think about who our favorite authors are and what we like and don’t like. You were on my short list, and I discovered that what I like to read, and write, is definately up there on the heat scale! Loved Laid Bare, and can’t wait for Tart to come out. Would love to have an ARC to add to my collection.

Aren’t you the tease 🙄 What a way to keep your fans drooling 😎 Perhaps next time you could offer us a sneaky bit snippet of “Laid Open”????
By the way “Laid Bare” and “Undercover” have been my favourite books so far. Semm to have a thing for menages 😳

Dont recall ever reading any of your books. But after reading the “teasing” excerpt from “Tart”, which doesn’t release until Nov 6. I’m going to have to wait & catch up on your previous releases.

TART has a fantastic cover. It caught my eye right away. Then again I seem to like all your covers.
April 5th, 2012 at 3:14 pm · Link
Sweet. Baby. Jesus. *fanning self slash checking heart rate*
THAT was not enough!!! Couldn’t you have given us the two, three, ten lines that followed the “bring it”??? I want to read Tart SO BAD… *sigh* I have to learn to stay away from these snippets. They do nothing for my Dane-withdrawal 😛
I’m due for a shiny new copy of Laid Bare, with the added awesomeness of a signature. My current copy is starting to look a little… weathered… What? can’t help it if i’ve reread it (more than) 4 times (lost count… teehee)
April 5th, 2012 at 5:46 pm · Link
Another book for my wish list. But I think this one should be put at the top. 😀
April 5th, 2012 at 7:11 pm · Link
