Art of Sensuality

Filed Under Uncategorized | 1 Comment

Just ordered the much anticipated Art of Sesuality by Jax Cassidy from Amazon today.  Can’t wait to get it!  I would add a cover but I’m a moron who can’t seem to figure out how to work that feature.  Here’s the blurb, followed by an author bio.

Title: ART OF SENSUALITY
Author: Jax Cassidy
Publisher: Parker Publishing
ISBN: 978-1-6004-3044-2
Page Count: 250 pgs / print
Release Date: November 17, 2008
 
Art was not only a passion of Machiko Barrett, but also a destiny…a way of life she has known since her talent was discovered at three years old. Caught in a turbulent storm of celebrity, scandal and corruption, she disappeared from the art world only to re-emerge fifteen years later as an au pair to the two young children of renowned Parisian gallery owners. Her sheltered existence is disrupted when she is lured back to her one true passion: painting.

While Machiko struggles to find her own identity through her art, she encounters Caleb Holden, a sexy, unpredictable and irresistible neighbor with a penchant for collecting art, and women. As he discovers the girl within the woman, the secrets of Machiko’s past return to haunt her, revealing scars she never knew existed. She must learn to conquer her fears and allow him into her heart or risk slipping back into a cold, lonely world that once held her spirit captive. Through Caleb’s determination to educate Machiko about trusting herself and her abilities, he opens her eyes to the art of sensuality, and awakens the woman buried deep inside the broken girl.

Thank You For Not Cuddling

Filed Under Uncategorized | 3 Comments

I am not a cuddler, never have been.  But since my husband and I have found ourselves on completely different schedules, what with him putting in long hours at the office, my being enmeshed with all things kids when they are at home, followed by staying up into the wee hours of the night, we find ourselves lacking in alone time.  Then there’s the issue of it now being cold at night.  So, when I finally roll into bed at 2 AM, I’ve found myself snuggling up for closeness and well, heat.  He, however, is a cuddler.  Imagine my surprise when we go to bed last night (I’m taking a short reprieve from the late nights) and he says, “you know I love you, right?”

At this point I know I’m in trouble.  “Um, yeah.”

“Well,” he clears his throat  “When you come in late and snuggle against me, sticking your cold feet in the bends of my knees, it kinda wakes me up and I have a hard time getting back to sleep.”

“But it’s really cold when I go to bed.”

“Maybe you should think about socks.”

He’s a cuddler.  I’m not.  I’m thinking he should be grateful. :-)
