Tasty Tuesday: Hasselback Potatoes

These Swedish baked potatoes are SO easy to make, and taste sinfully good. You'll need:

6 baking potatoes
1 cup of fresh, grated mixed cheeses of your choice (we use Parmesan and Gruyere)
1/3 cup melted butter
salt and pepper to taste

Peel your potatoes if you prefer; I like the skin on mine. Cut slits all along your potatoes width-wise until they look a bit like a bloomin' onion. Season your melted butter with salt and pepper. You can also add parsley, paprika, Mrs. Dash or any other seasonings that you enjoy.

Place your potatoes in this mixture until they are coated nicely. You may need to add butter depending on the size of your potatoes. Bake them in the oven at 400 degrees for about half an hour. Then pour the rest of your butter and all of your cheese over them and bake a bit longer until the cheese is melted and serve hot. Add sour cream, chives or any other garnishes you like. Feel free to add more cheese if you want them extra oozy!

Canna from Hard As a Rock would love this dish because it's decadent and gooey, oozing with cheese and flavor. She loves to "haunt" the Pleasure Club because it engages all of her senses, and so do these potatoes.

Hunted is almost here!

Look, I'm a coming soon!

Is that an amazing cover or what?

I had such a blast with this last Mixed Breeds book on so many levels. One because Damon is not a shifter, and that led to my new series, which I'll debut next year. I love that, when someone new pops up to be hot and yummy. I also loved it because it's like an old soul bond story. The three main characters aren't even sure how this relationship will happen, which left me guessing until the end.

Also, Shanna, my female character, got to be a badass with a Glock.

Check it out, and if you haven't read the first two books check them out here

Bear Facts and Outfoxed are yummy, too!

And here's a jaguar, just to make me happy!

The Saturday Book Diver Interviews Terra from The Demon’s Mate by Sam Cheever

Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver! Every weekend I dive into fictional worlds to bring you interviews with fantastic characters.

The word fantastic definitely applies to the experiences of the character I’m talking to today.

At the moment I’m on the rooftop of the castle of the King of Sheoldris. Sheoldris is a subterranean demon world. King Jacobin has claimed Terra and she has agreed to allow us a glimpse into her magical life.

Standing across from me on the rooftop, Terra glances around, as if expecting someone else to appear. Might she be waiting for Jacobin himself? It’s hard to say. Terra is a beautiful woman who stands about five feet six inches tall. She has a slim build and large breasts. It’s easy to see why the king desires her.

Her white-blond hair whips about her in the breeze and her blue gaze fixes on me as the interview begins.

SBD: Thank you for talking to us, Terra. From what I’ve heard, your life is a bit similar to mine, except that I don’t get to bond with a hunky demon lord. But I digress. As a book diver, I magically travel to fictional worlds and you’ve been drawn into one to mate with the King of Sheoldris. Would you explain how that happened?

Terra: I wish I knew. One minute I was just sitting there, reading my book about a sexy demon king and the next Jacobin was knocking on my door. It turns out his sister, Cybele scribed the book I was reading and that’s how they found me. The details are still fuzzy. All I know is I shouldn’t have thrown the book into the fire. Bad…really bad. [shakes head]

SBD: How would you describe Jacobin?

Terra: He’s just so hawt! And I know what you’re thinkin’. He’s a demon from Hell so of course he’s hot. You’d be hot too if you lived beside the fiery pits. But that’s not what I meant. Besides, Sheoldris is in the Hell dimension but it’s not near the pits. Jacobin promised to take me there some day for barbeque…

SBD: Um, Terra…

Terra: Oh. Sorry, I got sidetracked. Jacobin? He’s a big guy, really wide shoulders, hard as a rock pecs, with these sexy little curved horns on the sides of his head. He has black hair that’s so soft and silky, it frames a square jaw and the most perfect lips. [she sighs] He’s just so damn sexy. Are we done here? I have to go jump a demon.

SBD: Not quite. What is one of Jacobin’s sexiest traits?

Terra: The way he can go from being all growly and alpha one minute to being a tender, considerate lover the next. So yummy…

SBD: How about his most frustrating trait?

Terra: He’s bossy. Very. Bossy. We’re working on the whole, “I’m a king and you must obey me” thing. But he’s had centuries to perfect it and the training is going slow.

SBD: How do you feel about being swept away by a demon lord?

Terra: Pretty damn good overall. I’ll admit I had my reservations at first. I miss my BFFs and my family. But Jacobin has promised me a visit back home as soon as the current crisis is over.”

SBD: Crisis?

Terra: Yeah, Jacobin’s sister Cybele has been taken by ghouls. (shivers) Nasty critters, ghouls. He’s working with scribes right now to try and save her.

SBD: Would you share one of your favorite excerpts from The Demon’s Mate?

Terra: Sure, here ya go. But you’d better have a fan nearby!

Terra tried to pull the wispy little robe she’d been wearing back around her body but it was worse than useless as a covering. It had been sheer enough when dry. Soaked through, it was little more than a frame for her nakedness as she tried to climb out of the tub.

“Stop! The next time I’ll carry you back into the water and hold you on my lap as I bathe you.”

She sucked in a breath as he tugged the sexy leather down his dense thighs and over his big feet. When he straightened again, a cock that looked the thickness of her wrist sprang into view. It was long and perfect and hard enough to hurt someone, with huge, heavy balls hanging beneath it.

Too late, Terra realized she’d been staring. She started to climb out but his voice stopped her.

“Do you like what you see, mate?” His sexy voice had dropped another octave and slipped along her skin like a caress. Terra’s body tightened with lust, her pussy clenching around a sudden wave of need. She found she couldn’t speak, so she turned away, moving as far away from him as the large pool would allow.

She heard him enter the water and looked around with desperation for a way to escape. High, windowless marble walls surrounded the pool on three sides, and she’d have to move past him to climb from the open side. So she hunched down in the water and held the robe tightly against her body.

The water moved around her shoulders in soft ripples, and Terra jumped as his hands came around her waist. She cried out as he pulled her backward and did as he’d threatened, holding her on his lap.

His thick cock nudged against her buttocks, and she barely resisted the urge to rub her bottom against it. She closed her eyes, but only so she could concentrate on breathing without movement. One strong arm banded her waist like a vise and a big hand slipped up one of her thighs. She sucked in a breath at the silky feel of soap sliding over her skin.

His hot breath fanned her ear, and his heart beat a steady staccato against her back. “You have such exquisite skin, woman.” He nuzzled her throat. “And you smell like vanilla and roses.”

Terra didn’t trust herself to speak so she said nothing, but it was all she could do not to open her thighs as the hand bearing the bar of soap slid between her knees and pushed its way upward. Finally she lost the battle, and he was skimming that silky substance over her inner thigh, up along her belly, and down over the other thigh.

Terra swallowed hard and forced herself to take a breath. Her body was taut like a bowstring, and her pussy clenched and unclenched with a need so great her nipples stung under it. No doubt trying to torture her, the demon king deliberately avoided rubbing the soap over her pussy. Without conscious thought, Terra opened her legs in silent entreaty. Need coiled so tightly in her belly that it was painful, and all she wanted in that moment was relief.

His hand skimmed up her torso, shoving her arms out of the way so the useless wrap drifted away from her breasts. Her nipples were painfully hard with anticipation as his big hand rubbed gentle circles along her belly and ribs. Terra fought the urge to touch herself, forcing her fingers into fists that floated at her sides.

The massive shaft beneath her buttocks jumped, and he lifted his hips to drive it against her. “Your body wants me, mate.”

She shook her head but sucked in a quiet gasp as his big hand slipped over her breast. He spread silky suds across the swollen mound, his fingers tweaking the rigid peak with gentle interest.

“Such luscious buds, ready for me to taste.” Against her will, Terra’s head dropped back, resting against his shoulder, and his lips found the side of her throat. “Would you like for me to taste them, mate? Would you like me to fill my mouth with your lovely nipples, sucking them into heat as my cock plunges deep within your sex?” He lifted her until his cock was freed from her buttocks.

Terra nearly moaned as his hand found the other nipple and his cock sprang up between her legs, nudging the throbbing knot of lust at the apex of her thighs. Despite her body’s obvious appreciation of his attention, Terra shook her head, though her denial emerged in a breathless moan. “No.”

The arm that had been holding her around the waist moved, his hand sliding down to press his shaft against her clit. She moaned, arching up to move against him. “Your lips say no, but your body screams yes. Will you always be so difficult to bed?”

Despite the aura of danger about the castle, I wish I could talk to Terra longer. Unfortunately the book diver magic is calling me out of this world, but I’m eager to learn more about what happens to Terra and her demon lord. If you are too, check out

The Saturday Book Diver Interviews Max Winters from Her Sexy Side by Ayla Ruse

Good morning! Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver! Every weekend I dive into fictional worlds to bring you interviews with sexy and exciting characters.

Today I’m talking to Max Winters, a visual artist. Max has invited me to his home and at the moment we’re seated in his office. He offers me a comfortable chair and while he settles into his own, I glance around the room. The walls are covered with various artwork. I ask if they’re his and he tells me that some are, but others have been done by other artists.

Max is a tall, handsome man with a lean body that reminds me of a swimmer or runner. He stares at me with calm brown eyes, waiting for the interview to begin.

SBD: Thank you for agreeing to this interview, Max. What made you become an artist?

Max: I don’t think anything made me become an artist; it’s always been a part of me. My Grandmother was a terrific artist. Very gifted. I…well, you could say I inherited her special gift.

SBD: I understand you have a young son. Would you tell us a bit about him?

Max: [Smiles] Raymond. Yes. He’s amazing. He’s six years old but I swear, sometimes he makes me think he’s sixteen. Some people would say I’m overprotective, but he’s my life. I wouldn’t know what to do without him. Being a widow and raising a son alone can be difficult, but if that’s what life has in store for me, I have no complaints.

SBD: It sounds like you’re a dedicated Dad and that’s great. I’ve heard that one of Max’s teachers, Kiera Long, is a special lady. How would you describe Kiera?

Max: Kiera is…she’s pure light, and pure sexiness beneath the conservative clothes she wears. Words like sweet and kind and understanding are not deep enough, rich enough, to touch on all that she is. I’ll confess, I’ve wanted to get to know her for a couple years now, but the timing is always wrong. We’ve had parent-teacher conferences, you know, the standard meetings, but our discussions are about Raymond. I’ve been burnt in love before, and it’s risky to open up, especially to someone like her.

It’s obvious he feels a lot for Kiera and I can’t help wondering if she knows how lucky she is.

SBD: It sounds like she would make a fascinating subject for an artist. Have you ever sketched her?

Max: [He rubs his hand over his face and glances away.] Have I ever sketched her? [another long pause] This interview stays behind adult content warnings, right? Because I can tell you, Kiera would not have a thing to do with anything adult content. [waits for SBD to nod] Good. Then yes, I’ve sketched her. Hell, I can’t get her out of my mind. I have pages of Kiera, all in my notebook right here. [He reaches over and taps a leather bound folder on the desk behind him.]

SBD: Can I see some of them?

Max: Well now, no. I don’t mean to be rude, but, I’m going to let you in on a secret few people know. Sometimes, when I truly want something, my desires become a part of what I sketch. And as much as I want Kiera, my wanting of her is poured into the drawings. If I were to show you one, [he shrugs] you might end up turned on beyond your wildest dreams.

SBD: No problem. I understand. Would you share one of your favorite excerpts from Her Sexy Side?

Max looked across his coffee table to where Kiera sat in one of the living room chairs and reflected on how great a night he’d had. They’d gone to dinner at a new Italian restaurant and stayed for coffee and dessert before he’d gone out on a limb and invited her back to his place. His son was enjoying a rare sleepover, spending the night at his grandparents’ house, and Max hadn’t been ready to leave Kiera’s company.

His gaze darted to the hallway over her shoulder and he sighed silently. Maybe in the back of his mind he’d invited her in, hoping for more, but he knew his chances were slim.

One day he hoped to lead her to his bedroom. With her being as conservative as she seemed, though, he knew it’d be a while before they’d take that step. He had no problem with waiting. Hell, he’d wanted her for nearly two years. Only now, having her here, the temptation was all that much stronger.

Max flexed the fingers of his left hand, his drawing hand, the hand that could pour his burdensome gift of influence into anything he drew. He wanted Kiera, all right, but he wanted her to come to him willingly, on her own and not because he’d forced her with his pictures.

As they continued to talk, his thoughts kept trailing to her outfit and what she’d look like beneath the black, fitted, long-sleeved shirt. He couldn’t help it. She was gorgeous. The ends of the scarf at her neck teased over her full breasts, and a long, straight skirt in a black-and-white pattern led his eye to her small, heeled boots. Despite how amazing she looked, he knew she wasn’t a vixen. Her dress, her speech and her attitude screamed conservative, which normally turned him off. But Kiera made conservative look damn sexy. Or it could be his thoughts of what she’d look like beneath the clothes and of how she’d respond to being in his bed. All these thoughts had led to the pictures he’d drawn of her that she’d found in her classroom.

It’d also led to the picture he’d sketched on a scratch sheet of paper when she’d excused herself to go to the bathroom a few minutes ago. When she’d returned, he’d flipped it over and set his glass of water over it. These pictures were for his eyes only. Especially when they were so infused with his desires.

He shifted in his seat, his cock growing hard at his own fantasies. It was time to call it a night.

“I love that story, Kiera,” he said, leaning over to snag their glasses from the table while trying to will away his erection. “I have to tell you, I’m glad you accepted my date.”

“I’m glad you asked,” she responded, smiling in a way that made his toes curl. It wasn’t seductive or provocative, it was simply honest. He took a deep breath, hoped his cock behaved, stood quickly and walked around the couch.

“Are you ready for me to take you home?” Max carried their glasses to the kitchen, listening for her confirmation. It might be rude of him, but having her this close to his bed, this late at night, was beginning to wear on his control.

Her silence made him double back. “Kiera?” She jumped and turned as if he’d spooked her. “You okay?” he asked. “Ready to go?”

She stood slowly and never let her eyes fall from his. Max shifted, wondering why she wasn’t agreeing with him to take her home.

“I thought Raymond was staying with your parents tonight?” she asked.

He coughed lightly. “Um, yes. He is.” He stuck his hands in the pockets of his slacks and jiggled the car keys.

She smiled again, but this time the ends of her lips curled in a way that made her seem wicked all of a sudden. Damn. He fisted his hands to keep from dragging her close and kissing those teasing lips.

“You don’t have a curfew, do you?” she asked.

“Ah, no.” He puzzled at her abrupt change in attitude. She was all of a sudden acting like she wanted him to make a move on her. He’d been a fool to think coming to his place was a good idea.

“But Max,” she said slowly, her voice having dropped, “I’m not ready to leave.”

Their eyes met, held, and the next thing he knew, she flung herself toward him and kissed him clumsily, but with everything she had.

The excerpt has definitely roused my interest!

It’s about time for me to leave Max’s world. The Book Diver magic is ebbing, but as I go, I hope that Max and Kiera will find happiness together. If you want to see how their story turns out, check out

The Saturday Book Diver Interviews Eric from the Dark Reign Series by Mychael Black

Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver where every weekend we dive into fictional worlds for interviews with intriguing characters.

It’s just after midnight, so technically it’s the morning but still dark enough for me to meet with the man I’m interviewing.

Eric Salvatore is a vampire-werewolf hybrid and I have to say it’s an incredible combination. He has long black hair and some very sexy facial scruff. He’s standing by a big picture window here in the office of his pack’s Alpha. He turns to me with his penetrating amber eyes and gestures for me to take a seat in one of the two plush chairs. Then he settles into the chair behind the desk. Even though he’s not the pack Alpha, he exudes power.

Still held captive by those amber eyes, I begin the interview.

SBD: Eric, thank you for talking to us today. What is it like to be both a vampire and a werewolf?

Eric: Thank you for coming by so late. As for your question, in a nutshell: terrifying. I've always been an outcast because of it, even though I was never given a choice. Beyond that, however, I possess more abilities than my fellow wolves and vampires. Aside from grievous wounds, I heal faster than both species.

SBD: [Glancing at the sword and dagger Eric carries at his hips.] I notice you have some serious weapons. Is it usual for people to carry them around here?

Eric: No, it is not. You would be hard pressed to find another sword anywhere in this house. Wolves kill with their claws and teeth, but before Daniel came along, no one knew I was a wolf. Everyone assumed I was simply just another vampire. Decapitation is the best way to kill one of us.

SBD: I’ve heard a man named Daniel Hughes has been living under the protection of your pack. What can you tell us about him?

Eric: Daniel has been here far longer than myself. He's kind and a bit of a romantic, though he may not readily admit it. And he makes a mean Screwdriver.

SBD: It sounds like he’s a fascinating guy and the two of you are quite close. How close?

Eric: Inseparable. He is my mate. When I first met him, I knew exactly what he was to me. He seemed a bit...reticent in pursuing anything, but my wolf would not be denied. Daniel is the sole reason I am here, where before, I had little reason to go on.

SBD: If you had to describe Daniel in just three words, what would they be?

Eric: Gorgeous, hardworking, loyal.

SBD: Would you share one of your favorite excerpts from Fight or Flight?

Eric:

The front gates opened as I neared them and the guard waved. I ran around back and skidded to a stop. There was someone outside, all right: Eric. Shirtless, coatless. Swinging his sword against an invisible foe. I sat down hard and watched in fascination as the vampire spun and parried, dancing like he weighed no more than a feather. Moonlight reflected off the steel blade and the sheen of sweat covering Eric’s muscles.

My God, the man was perfection.

My heart started pounding, and my cock began to take notice. I had to get inside or risk blowing my cover from where I hid behind a bush. Eric’s graceful sparring didn’t help matters in the least. I wanted to lick the sweat from his pale skin.

He pivoted and froze, sword point aimed directly toward me. The sword lowered, and he inclined his head in what I assumed was a greeting. If I left the bush now, there’d be no hiding the erection. A werewolf’s dick was larger than a normal dog’s… or a man’s.

Eric smirked and gestured toward the house. Then he went over and opened the door for me. I tried thinking about anything but that expanse of slick flesh tempting me. Praying he didn’t notice anything, I bolted from my hiding spot and hauled my furry ass into the house. His laughter followed me all the way to my room. I shifted outside my room and darted inside, closing the door behind me.

Then I fell back against it, panting and hard as a rock. So much for thinking it away. I closed my eyes and struggled to control my breathing. Never had a man gotten me so worked up. Time to drag out my trunk of toys. I went to my closet and pulled the wooden box to the bed. When I opened it, I couldn’t help but lick my lips. Cocks, plugs, a set of sounds, vibrators -- it all called to me, begging for a bit of playtime. I grabbed the lube from the bedside table and rummaged until I found a flesh-colored dildo as thick as my wrist. I hadn’t used it in a while, and the slight burn felt amazing.

Just as I scooted back onto the bed, legs splayed open, the air in the room changed. My breath caught. No. No, no, no…

A great excerpt, but it’s not enough for me. I want to know the rest of their story. Unfortunately, the book diver magic is calling me and I need to leave this world, but I can hardly wait to find out what happens to Eric and Daniel.

Time Management (or lack thereof) by Anne Kane

Is it just me or did the days get shorter somewhere along the line? I know that theoretically, there are twenty four hours in a day. What I don't get is where it all goes. Seriously. I need at least six more hours in a day. Or if possible, could we just squeeze a new day in the middle somewhere?

I realize this is all my own fault. I just have too much to do. I have always worked full time but since I became a partner at the EVD (evil day job) that I work at this spring, it's been at least fifty hours a week. On top of that, I belong to two choirs, I'm a member of the local Toastmaster's club, I sit on one Board of Directors, I'm on one Finance Committee and I do some volunteer work in the community. I spend at least one afternoon a week with my grandkids.(Looking at life from their point of view is what keeps me sane.) I also have a Jack Russell which means I go for two long walks each day, and toss a tennis ball numerous times. And I have to keep writing or my muse gets reallly bitchy!

So you see my problem. I need less hobbies. Or maybe I can win a lottery and quit working. (I'm not holding my breath on that one!) I've seriously tried to decide what to give up, but I love it all so much that I just can't bring myself to say no to anything. So here's my plan. I'm going to ignore the housework, and eventually the dust bunnies will be big enough to do all the cooking and cleaning for me. Brillliant, right?

I'll let you know how it goes...

The Saturday Book Diver Interviews Austin from Gascon Victors and the Hunky Handyman by Kate Hill

Good morning! Welcome to the Saturday Book Diver where every weekend we dive into fictional worlds for interviews with intriguing characters.

This morning I’m outside a lovely country house in New England talking to landscaper Austin Johnson. He’s tall and lanky with disheveled black hair and gorgeous blue eyes.

Despite his easygoing manner, it’s easy to see that Austin was once a soldier. He has the posture and confidence of a military man.

He and his crew obviously have a lot of work ahead of them, so I jump into the interview.

SBD: Austin, thank you for talking to us today. You’re new in this town, but you seem to have made some friends already.

Austin: It’s a great town. I’ve always liked the country and my new landscaping business is doing well. I also do repairs and stuff like that, so if you know anyone in need of work, I give free estimates.

SBD: [Grins] That’s good to know. I’ll keep that in mind. Right now we’re at the home of Alice Brown. What can you tell us about her?

Austin: Alice. Wow. I don’t want to say too much because she’s a customer and I don’t like to gossip, but she’s great. Talented. Beautiful. Kind. She’s a piano teacher and a tutor. Her students love her and that’s really easy to do.

By the gleam in his eyes when he talks about Alice, it’s obvious he has a major crush on her.

SBD: I’ve heard you’re still single and so is Alice. Do you think there’s a chance of you two getting together?

Austin: I don’t date customers, but once I’m finished with this job, I’m almost hoping she won’t hire me again because I would love to take her out. I’m not exactly sure how she feels about me, though. Sometimes she goes from hot to cold, but I think that’s because she’s a reserved person. I kinda hope she’s as interested in me as I am in her.

SBD: I understand you used to be a soldier?

Austin: Yeah. I’m proud to have served my country, but right now I’m looking forward to expanding my business and hopefully starting a family. Between you and me, I’d love a woman like Alice. She’s smart, sexy and makes a mean lemonade.

I can’t help chuckling. Austin seems like a great guy. It’s hard to believe Alice wouldn’t notice him.

SBD: What three words do you think best describe Alice?

Austin: [His brow furrows as he thinks, then he smiles again.] Classy, mysterious, and sexy.

SBD: Would you share one of your favorite excerpts from Gascon Victors and the Hunky Handyman?

Austin: Sure. Here goes.

The piano music stopped and Austin was about to knock again when the door opened.

A lovely woman with brown eyes and dark, silky hair glanced up at him. A floral print dress in pastel shades draped her curvy figure. Strangely, just looking at her made Austin’s heart skip a beat.

Finding his voice, he shouted above the two howling dogs -- a basset and a beagle -- standing beside her, “Hi. I’m Austin Johnson. My crew and I are ready to start work. I wanted to let you know we’re here.”

He smiled.

She didn’t.

“Thank you,” she said and was about to shut the door, but he stopped her, placing his hand on it.

“Gascon said you wanted to talk about a new project.”

“Yes, but right now I’m in the middle of a lesson.” She glanced at the dogs and snapped, “Quiet!”

“Of course. When you’re free just let me know.” He turned and headed toward the truck, but couldn’t resist glancing at her over his shoulder.

To his surprise, she was staring after him as well. When their gazes locked, she quickly shut the door.

That was a great glimpse of Austin and Alice’s first meeting. It’s obvious how much he likes her, so I truly hope she gives him a chance.

If you hope so too and would like to find out what happens to them, visit:
