Reader’s Edyn

I always felt like I could do something more than just read. Finally, I have found both a creative outlet and a chance to do something meaningful with my reading. This blog was created in appreciation of and tribute to all of the authors who have brought me joy through their books. These reviews are my way of giving back to authors and providing recognition for the hard work that each one completes every day!

Spotlight BLITZ with author Annabeth Leong

Spotlight BLITZ with author Annabeth Leong


Hey all! Back to the posting frenzy … or my attempt to get caught up after a grueling illness that seriously set me back. You are going to see a lot of posts over the next couple of days so please bear with me. Those of you that have been around know that I have featured Ms. Annabeth Leong several times recently. This author is a writing machine because she doesn't ever seem to NOT have a new release ready to come out right after the next. Not a bad thing by any means. It just means that you will likely see quite a lot of her. I hope you have enjoyed getting to know about her books as much as I have and that you enjoy this one just as much. Please allow me to introduce to the blog, once again:




**ANNABETH LEONG**



**BIO**


Annabeth Leong has written erotica of many flavors. She loves shoes, stockings, cooking and excellent bass lines. She always keeps a new e-book loaded on her phone and a paperback stashed in her purse, but her eyes are still bigger than her stomach whenever she visits a bookseller. Watch for her next contemporary erotic romance from Ellora's Cave, Design and Scandal.

You can find out more about Ms. Leong in the following places:

A Romantica® contemporary erotic romance from Ellora’s Cave


**BLURB**


Renovators have invaded the home of Jason and Eliza Wu. The two haven’t seen a clean surface in months and, even worse, haven’t had a moment to themselves. With stress in their work lives added to stress at home, the couple desperately needs to have some fun. Jason and Eliza embark on a bold plan to make love and get out of the house—at the same time. Through a series of hot adventures and wild mishaps in the car, at Eliza’s mother’s house, on the top floor of the library and everywhere in between, Jason and Eliza find that not only can they survive renovations, they might even be sorry when they’re over.









 **EXCERPT**

By reading any further you are stating you are at least 18 years of age. If you are under the age of 18, it is necessary for you to exit this site.

By scooting the heaviest things out of the way with the side of her thigh, Eliza could open the refrigerator door just enough to slide her arm in and identify a wine cooler by shape. She snaked it out of the refrigerator, but her hand slipped on the sweating glass bottle just before she got it clear. It crashed to the floor and shattered, soaking the lower half of her stockings and the big bags of flour and rice from the pantry with pink, sugary alcohol. Shards of glass surrounded her and Eliza swallowed, thinking of her bare feet.
Her husband responded before she could. “Don’t move,” Jason said. He was barefoot himself, but that didn’t stop him from getting in close enough to sweep her up into his arms. The man might sit behind a desk all day at work, but he put in his time at the gym. His taut muscles flexed around Eliza as he lifted her out of the mess and glass and tucked her against his chest.
Jason carried Eliza to the other side of the room and set her on the table. “Are you all right? Did you cut yourself?” He lifted one sticky, stocking-covered foot in his hand and inspected it for injuries.
I didn’t get hurt.” Eliza caught his other hand and brought it to her lips. “Thanks, Jason. Really.”
He kissed the side of her face in response, and she wished he’d gone for her mouth instead. She reached to pull him in for a better kiss, but before she could he crossed back to the refrigerator and folded his arms across his chest. Eliza and Jason both sighed.
I think we’re going to have to throw all this food away because of the glass,” Jason said.
I’m sorry.” She got off the table and tapped one foot, trying to remember where they’d moved the broom.
You stay there. I’ll take care of this.”
If you say so.”
I do.”
Eliza smiled, a little of the tension easing. “I want to do something really fun at home for our anniversary. It’s five years, and maybe our last chance before we have to grow up for real and behave. We should jump on the beds and have sex on the kitchen table.”
About that…”
What?”
If you haven’t opened the document I shared with you, then you didn’t see the note I made about the latest delay.”
Eliza’s voice darkened. “What?”
When they checked out the master bathroom, they found a rotten beam. It needs to be fixed, but Bob said it means the job won’t be done until mid-August.”
But that’s only two weeks before our anniversary! That’s more than a month behind schedule.”
Jason shrugged. He wrapped his hand in a dishtowel and began throwing items from the pantry into a big black trash bag. “I don’t like it any more than you. They have to finish the job eventually, one way or another.”
He always finds something else! Did you ask him if he’s sure about the schedule this time?”
Jason stood abruptly and stepped away from the mess in front of the refrigerator. “I don’t want you criticizing me for how I talked to Bob. Why did we think renovations were a good idea?”
Oh, Jason.” Eliza rushed to his side and tried to put her arms around him, but he shook her off.
Her husband rubbed one hand over his face. “I don’t want us to fight again. I want to have a nice time with you tonight. Do you know why I was upset when you got home? I left the office a little early and I was going to straighten up around here and make you dinner. If we could open the damn refrigerator, you’d see I picked up avocados and a bunch of other stuff you like. I got home and found the kitchen like this, and I knew I couldn’t get it sorted out in time to surprise you.”
Jason grunted and tossed a few more things into the trash bag. Eliza hovered nearby, wishing she could wave their problems away and start the fun they both wanted. She found herself staring at his firm ass, trying to remember the last time she’d really grabbed it. They’d always had a good relationship, a hot relationship. She’d been shocked to see how the stress of renovations had reduced them to sniping at each other.
I miss you, Jason.”
He stopped moving. “What do you mean?”
I miss your body. When was the last time we really had some time to ourselves?”
You mean other than time we spend complaining to each other about the renovations from hell?”
I love that you were going to make me dinner. Really, I do. It’s just there’s something I might need more than dinner. I think we both need it.”
A slow grin spread over Jason’s face. “I may have had an ulterior motive when I decided to make you dinner.”
I hope you did.” Eliza reached out to him with one hand. “Can’t we clean it up in the morning? We have to stop letting these renovations ruin our lives.”
Jason took her in his arms before she finished her sentence.



Sounds smoking hot! And I love that this is a married couple. Sometimes it is nice to read about how hot married life can be. Who said the single peeps were the only ones to have fun? SO tell me what you thought. I always welcome your comments to please feel free to leave your feedback about any portion of the post. Do you like reading about married couples, or do you prefer them to still be single? Or maybe you don't care either way. Let me know!

I want to thank Ms. Leong for being here with us today once again. It is always a pleasure and I always enjoy myself immensely! I hope that you do as well. Remember that support is key for an author you enjoy, so if you found this book intriguing, please consider purchasing a copy for yourself. I wish everyone a truly fabulous day and hope that you enjoyed your time spent with us today! See you all soon! Until then ...

HAPPY READING!!!
