First and foremost, happy birthday, Lissa!
I don’t have any carved-in-stone traditions for my own birthday, but there’s always a high-caloric treat of some kind involved. It runs the gamut from carrot cake to dinner out at my favorite Indian restaurant, to a wine-fueled evening at my relatives’ place. This last year my husband took me out for scallops, my personal Kryptonite. Since this is a birthday blog party, I wanted to feature a birthday-centric m/m/f novella of mine, Dirty Thirty. Here’s the gist:
Despite his scrappy punk packaging, Evan’s got a submissive streak in him that’s just screaming to be indulged. So on the eve of his thirtieth birthday, Evan’s wife Margie arranges for them to ring out his twenties by realizing his darkest fantasy—inviting another man into their bedroom.
Margie’s found the perfect candidate for Evan’s birthday treat. Paul works as a bouncer at their favorite bar, and lucky for Evan and Margie, he’s every bit the sexual Dominant his intimidating body suggests. Evan isn’t a hundred percent sure he’s ready to go to all the places his kinks seem determined to take him, but one thing’s for sure—by the time he wakes on his thirtieth birthday, his fantasy will have become reality.
Wow, this sounds like one hot read. I definitely want to dig into this.

Ooooh the book sounds hot! And birthdays are definitely days to indulge!
Sounds so hot! Wish I could stay home today and read it, it is downright nasty out there today. If you can’t indulge on your birthday, when can you?

Hey y’all! Just thought I’d drop in and see how things are going! (not really, I’ve been watching all day…) Is everyone doing well? Have any questions?
You know, Cara is a favorite of mine and… Every time I read one of her books, I usually feel one of two ways. 1, she’s awesome and I should stop now, and 2, motivated to keep trying.
She’s amazing and if you haven’t read her, you should…

LOVE the cover 🙂

Hi Lissa –
Along w/entering your contest, I wanted to let you know that on your site here, the last 4 letters of everything on the right hand side are cut off. (I’m assuming it’s 4 letters because you typed “alw” and only half of the ‘w’ appears & I’m assuming the word is ‘always’.)
