Hello everyone, I hope you’re surviving the holiday insanity. I’m thrilled to say I got an early Christmas present today in the form of a gorgeous new cover. This one is for Red Light #4, Free For All. For all of you Star & Rick fans, I think you’ll be pleased with the HEA in this book, which is why it will be releasing in the regular Ellora’s Cave line instead of the Exotika line. Woohoo! Anyone recognize the model who got cast as Rick? Yep, it’s our friend Alex the Caveman who was as charming and gracious as he is handsome when we met him at Romanticon. I couldn’t love the cover any more! I’m not sure on the release date yet but I’ll shout it out as soon as I know. In the meantime, here’s a little bit about the book 
Happy reading!
After an amazing courtship filled with nights steamy enough to thaw the lingering winter chill, Sarah is finally beginning to believe she might have found the one man on earth who can support her career as a sex worker in Amsterdam’s Red Light district. But when she asks around, it’s clear Rick isn’t taking advantage of the freedom their open relationship offers. None of the sexiest girls in the district have serviced him for months. Not even Mari, a previous favorite.
Afraid of losing the star of her nice and extra naughty dreams, Sarah confronts her boyfriend about his change of heart. Rick confesses he’s no longer interested in wild times without her. Instead, he’d like to try experimenting with multiple partners, show off his sexy woman and revel in the company of like-minded hedonists. Fortunately, he knows just the place for a debauched experience wicked enough to make even an experienced hooker blush.
A sexual free for all is on the menu at one of Amsterdam’s infamous swinger’s clubs. Will it satisfy their hunger?

This is very timely as I’m working on the print galley to prepare the third installment in the Men in Blue series for print release on 8/7/12. As part of the process I supply review quotes and boy does this one have plenty of great ones. I can’t tell you how much I love reviews from Whipped Cream reviews. And this one is no exception. I recommend you check out the full review here but these snippets are making me smile big time!

“This tale will have you riveted with its nail biting suspense and overheating from its nuclear eroticism, and a happy ending that will leave you feeling completely fulfilled. Ms. Rylon has an amazing talent for creating a clear picture in her reader’s minds that transports them into the middle of the action, creating a heart pounding, emotionally charged experience. This story was fast paced with non-stop action, believable dialogue, characters displaying raw emotions and a plot with twists and turns that would not allow me to put this book down. The eroticism portrayed in this story had me turning the pages to find out what was next and asking myself if I could stand the intensity. Ms. Rylon’s love scenes are written expressively with vivid descriptions and extreme imagery connecting her readers to the scene with their minds and emotions. If you like a book filled with a perfect blend of fast-paced suspense and explosive sexual tension, go get yourself a copy of Mistress’s Master you will not be disappointed.”
Go Men in Blue! You can also check out a blurb and excerpt on the book’s page on my site by clicking here.

The past 12 hours have been so amazing I’m still kind of stunned. Thank you to every single fan who helped put Eastern Ambitions at #26 on the NYT Bestseller list and #130 on the USA Today Bestseller list. Talk about a lifelong dream! This is a enormous milestone for me and I’m thrilled to share it with Mari Carr. Having her along on this wild ride makes it twice as fun. Coming up to Thanksgiving (how fun is it that the NYT list will be printed when my family will be visiting?) I think you all can guess what I’ll be grateful for this year. YOU!

Okay, I know the conference was over a week ago. Truth be told, I’m just recovering now. It was that much excitement This was my fourth go at Lora Leigh’s Reader Appreciation Weekend and I swear every year gets better and better. The location was gorgeous. Full on fall when we got there, and then winter as we got several inches of snow. The mountains and lake were amazing. The hotel was a straight ride from Dulles, where Mari Carr picked me up personally, but there was also a shuttle service for other out of town attendees who were not lucky enough to have a bff in the area!
The events were fabulous this year, with the smores being a highlight for me. Thanks Shari for donating your marshmallows to me! Of course, no matter how fantastic the balls and dinners were (did I mention the decadent ice cream bar?!), seeing other authors, industry professionals and of course the readers made the whole thing perfect. I got to hang out with several members of our Heat Wave Readers group as well as both returning RAW’ers and first time attendees.
The new “bobbing for authors” events were a big hit too! Basically it was like speed dating for authors and readers. And best of all, Lora gave a hardbound memory book with pictures of the resort and the authors to each attendee so they could get autographs to remember the event by. Mine is in a place of honor on my bookshelf. Oh, and then there was Lora’s sponsored racecar with all of the authors names on it. Honestly, the list could go on and on.
This post is a sad recounting of four days so jam packed with fun I could never hope to capture it all in a brief blog. I hope next year you’ll all come see for yourself. I know I’ll be there!

I LOVE this review that just came in for Eastern Ambitions. It’s a five cherry review from Whipped Cream. You can read the whole thing here (be careful, there are several spoilers!) but here are some snippets from my favorite parts.
“I love the world and the characters that Mari Carr and Jayne Rylon have so marvelously crafted. There is an electricity flowing through this story, a sense of things flowing just below the surface about to erupt, that draws the reader in with the first words. This story grabbed me by the throat and wouldn’t let go until the final sentence.”
“This story is deeper and more emotional than the first two books, and there are many secrets that need to come out. The connections between the main and secondary characters in this story are expertly intertwined, with everyone filling some need in another. But this is definitely Sam and Cindi’s story, and they have some major barriers to get through to get to their happy ending. There are several hot spots in this, and the scene in the yard with Cindi and the men is one of the hottest things I have read in a while. That was the moment when Cindi and Sam realized they were perfect for each other, and it was written to perfection. This is one very hot romance, but bring a huge box of tissues, because this one will bring the tears, both from laughter and from sadness.”

To celebrate the release of Eastern Ambitions, book three in the Compass Brothers series, Mari and I thought we’d each hold a “See how it all begins” contest. The rules are easy. Simply take a peek at my Books page and tell me which series you’ve always wanted to read. One lucky winner will receive book one in the series they select. Mari is holding a similar contest on her page, so don’t forget to pop over there to check it out. I will choose my winner Monday at 8 p.m. EST and I’ll announce it here. Thanks so much for visiting!
So… it’s finally here and I LOVE it. Just got the approved cover for Devon’s Pair (the fourth book in the Powertools series). Angela Waters is the absolute bestest! You can check it out below. Devon’s Pair will be out on January 3rd. WOOHOO. I also added blurbs and new pages for books five and six in the series which will be out next year as well. Just click on the links on the navigation bar over there to find out more —>
(Yes, that was me being lazy but I have writing to do tonight, I’m working on Red Light #4 right now!)
As if that weren’t enough, I have some big news! Morgan’s Surprise was nominated today for the best Indie Erotic Romance of 2011 from RT Magazine. I can’t tell you how honored I am to be counted among some of my absolute favorite authors. I’m thrilled! A special shout out to one of my first critique partners Jennifer Haymore for her nomination and of course Anne Rainey, my fellow International Heat author. You can check out all of the nominations here.
Thank you to all of you who have supported this series and made it possible for me to explore this ongoing relationship between the crew. I appreciate all the letters you’ve sent and the books you’ve read. I hope you enjoy Devon’s Pair as much as I did writing it and can’t wait to continue the adventure in the upcoming books.

It’s Halloween and I have the perfect read for you Picture Perfect, my first published book, is a novella that features Halloween magic. Hope you’ll give it a try if you haven’t already.

Conn Hennessey suffered nine hundred years trapped in a godforsaken painting. Halloween magic gives him one chance at freedom. With just twenty four hours to break the spell, by convincing the woman he loves they belong together, a day never seemed so short.
Dana Kavanagh wishes she were gullible enough to believe her sexy stranger’s story. He looks and acts like the man of her dreams but magic, time travel and a pissed off witch seem farfetched. Afraid of looking like a fool if it’s a hoax, can she live with the consequences if she’s wrong?
The clock is ticking…
“Imaginative, colorful and utterly sexy. The concept of your own personal stalker right in your own bedroom shall give voyeurs and voyeur wannabes a pleasurable thrill as they read Jayne Rylon’s fantastic tale of wanting, needing and longing. A sizzing fairytale come true.” 5 out of 5 flags, Euro-Reviews
“Jayne Rylon has given us her very own work of art in Picture Perfect. This is one amazing love story that will pull at your heartstrings and make your soul sing at the same time! This is one blazing hot book; you will need to wear gloves while reading so you do not get your hands scorched! The love scenes will leave you breathless and yearning for more.” 5 Angels, Fallen Angel Reviews
The tantalizing suspense and deep feelings the characters ushered me into was like being lead into a dark theater, listening to time tick away like a time bomb that was ready to explode at any given moment, without knowing what was on the program. The not knowing what was going to happen next amazed me considerably. So I sank by degrees slowly into the movement of the story, just like sinking down into my comfortable couch. I was lost in the romance of, PICTURE PERFECT. Truly an appealing historical lore completed with sensual ecstasy. The vivid descriptions of the time period were awesome!” 4 1/2 Hearts, The Romance Studio
“What is there not to love about this story. Undying love and only one chance to try to make it real? Sigh! The love between the two characters is so real, so pure, that as a reader I felt it from start to finish. Rylon can surely write his romances! The scenes were tantalizing and picturesque!This is surely a story not to miss! This is a must read and the author is on my favorites list!” 4 stars, The Pen and Muse
“Jayne Rylon is a talented author and is able to weave a great read. There was definitely a lot of love between these two and it’s easy to love them. Great job Ms. Rylon.” 4.5 star Top Pick by Night Owl Romance

Yippee. Two cool things for today. First, Mistress’s Master was reviewed by RT Magazine. It got four stars (the highest they give is 4.5)! And even better, the text of the review made me feel like the reviewer was really in tune with the book. Can’t ask for better than that. Here’s a snippet but you can check out the full thing at their everything ebooks site here.
“Rylon knows her stuff, providing readers with explicit, clear-as-day details about everything in the subculture from toys to scenery. As a couple, Lily and Jeremy are fascinating to watch, as they’re both dominating and frequently butt heads, vying for control. Mistress Lily is a compassionate dom, whose struggle to submit while still attempting to rescue her charges will resonate with readers. Jeremy’s need to dominate is feral, but it balances nicely with his need to protect Lily. The story’s pacing is quick, with plenty of scorching scenes to buffer the conflict.”
Also, Eastern Ambitions is officially up for pre-sale at Samhain. WOOHOO. That’s extra exciting because it means it’s less than one month to release day (11/8) AND it means the book is on the 30% off cover price discount standard for Samhain presales. You can check it out here, just $3.85. It’s also up on Amazon and other third party resellers for presale if you prefer. And while we’re talking about Compass Brothers I have to tell you that we’re working on edits on Western Ties right now. I can’t wait until you all can read how Mari handled Sawyer’s story. I knew what was going to happen and it still had a major emotional impact when I read it. The whole series is one I’m really proud to be a part of.

I know I’ve said before how much I adore Cara McKenna’s books. Dirty Thirty. YUM. Skin Game, hell I stayed in my room at Romanticon until almost noon one day finishing that one off. But when I heard Cara had written about a male prostitute I wasn’t sure how I’d feel reading it given the Red Light series and my experiences in Amsterdam and my tendency to be really picky about subjects I have a viewpoint on. So, holy crap, I’m not joking…. I HIGHLY recommend you read Curio. It might be the best erotic book I’ve ever read. Heck, take that out of it. It’s in my top five books of all time. Period. I don’t want to spoil any surprises so let me just say… I laughed, I sighed, I cried.
In fact, I was working on the next installment in Rick and Star’s adventure but I don’t think there’s any chance I could live up to what I read today so I’m going out with friends instead. Pumpkin picking here I come. In the meantime, read Curio. You won’t regret it!
Buy Curio from Amazon
