Horny Hump Day!
In light of my latest review (thank you so much Katerina!), I am doing this week’s snippet from Jinxie’s Orchids. The setup: the after-argument apology.
* * * * *
Tender gratitude gave way to something more, something hungry, something that tightened in the pit of his rapidly heating belly, growing by passionate degrees as his fingers combed into her wet hair. The tangles gently captured him, and her breathy moan broke the tentative threads of his reserve. She was his wife, by happenchance if not intent, and he kissed her like one, drinking her into him, loving the taste, the mating caress of her tongue, the feel of her twisting in his arms to touch him as hungrily as he did her.

Blurb:
Levina “Jinxie” Wainwright knows there’s more to life than copying file cards in the tombs of her fiancé’s museum. What she doesn’t know is what that ‘more’ might be.
While unpacking a crate shipped from the Amazon, she finds a strange flower smashed in amongst the packing leaves. One of the best amateur botanists in Boston, when Levina can’t readily identify the orchid, she knows she’s found something special, something previously unknown to science, something that could help prove she’s more than just a jinx. All she has to do is journey to the Amazon, find more of these strange orchids and bring them home again.
What could possibly go wrong?
Jaguars, caimans and headhunters, oh my…Jinxie’s Orchids is a 47,890 word historical romance that features spanking, interracial sexual situations, and some naked romping through the jungle. If you are uncomfortable with such content, please do not purchase this book. You have been warned.
Dang! That’s beautiful.
