Blog Tour Stop, Guest Post & Contest: King Cobra by Jayne Rylon

Tell us about this series and how it came to be?

When I was writing Powertools I had a pretty good idea by the beginning of book five, Nailed to the Wall, where the series would end up. But, honestly, I wasn’t ready to say goodbye to the crew and their open-minded nature. So when the idea of Joe visiting his wild cousin and friends for an ice fishing trip popped into my mind, I ran with it.

By the time Eli and Alanso made a cameo appearance in Hammer it Home, I was sure I wanted to try something similar that would allow me to revisit the crew but also add a new layer to the series. In Powertools, the five guys start out the beginning of Kate’s Crew with a bond and active sexual relationship between them. I felt like in Hot Rods I wanted to explore more of how an arrangement like that would come to be.

So buckle up because Hot Rods is full of angst as the seven mechanics with tortured pasts, learn how to express their love for their friends and the partners they meet along the way. This series came to me all at once. In part thanks to the amazing images of Sophia Renee at Unique Portraiture. I saw them on Facebook one night and I knew who each of the characters were, their back story and who they’re going to end up with. So I wrote it all down and showed it to my editor, Amy Sherwood, who was thankfully on board. As an amazing bonus, Samhain Publishing was awesome enough to negotiate with Sophia and the actual inspiration images I used for the series are appearing on the cover of the books. This is especially awesome as Eli from King Cobra is Sophia’s boyfriend. How lucky is she? Cover artist Angie Waters has done an amazing job of incorporating the images into drool worthy covers!

Now it’s just a matter of getting these stories our of my imagination and down on paper. At the time of writing this both King Cobra and Mustang Sally are complete. I’ll be tackling the remaining four stories planned for the series at this time over the summer now that I’m a full time author (OMG & YEY!). I hope that readers enjoy the Hot Rods as much as I have.

Title: King Cobra by Jayne Rylon
Hot Rods Series Book One
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!, Ménage & More
Length: Category

Summary:

Nothing’s sexier than seven men with hot rods.

Hot Rods, Book 1

After Eli’s mother died, his father honored her life’s mission as a social worker by taking in several kids from the wrong side of the tracks. Not all of them stuck, but those who did became Eli’s quasi family.

Their bonds, forged in fires set by their personal demons, are unbreakable—or so Eli wants to believe. Especially since he and Alanso, his best friend and head mechanic, witnessed the overpowering allure of polyamory while visiting the Powertools crew.

Much as Eli would like to deepen the relationships among his foster brothers and sister in the Hot Rods Restoration Team, he’s hesitant to risk everything on a quick romp behind a stack of tires.

But when Eli catches Alanso exploring their mutual fantasy at a known hookup spot in a public park, all bets are off. And Eli must decide if it’s time to jump in full throttle—and trust his instincts to guide him through the night. If the pair can dodge the potholes in their own relationship, maybe they can race together toward the unconventional arrangement with Mustang Sally they both desire.

Product Warnings: Fasten your seatbelts, this is going to be a wild (and naughty) ride!

Saturday Series Spotlight: Two to Tango Anthology by Jayne Rylon, Lorelei James & Jess Dee & Contest

Title: Where There’s Smoke by Jayne Rylon
Two to Tango Anthology
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Red Hots!!!
Length: Novella

Summary:

When old flames unite, the heat is on!

A Two to Tango story.

Kyana Brady never intended to return to small-town life in upstate New York, but reality doesn’t give a damn about plans. She dropped everything to care for her dying aunt. Now that Rose is gone, Kyana realizes something else has changed—her priorities. Her high-paid, higher-stress law career no longer holds any appeal.

While debating her future, an insomnia-driven stroll turns into a desperate dash to save Rose’s elderly friend, Benjamin, from his burning house. And he’s always believed one good turn deserves another. So the old man rewards Kyana’s bravery with a little meddling in her love life.

After Ben’s great-nephew Logan witnesses his childhood friend’s bravery on the news, he rushes home to help his uncle rebuild. But before his hammer hits the first nail, sparks are flying. The heat between him and Kyana melts old affection into a completely new—and combustible—relationship.

Before they have a chance to discover how hot their love will burn, another disaster threatens to separate them forever. After all, they say bad luck comes in threes…

Product Warnings: A love affair that’s been ten years in the making is sure to be hot enough to scorch. And everyone knows, where there’s smoke there’s fire.

Title: Ballroom Blitz by Lorelei James
Two to Tango Anthology
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre:Contemporary, Red Hots!!!
Length: Novella

Summary:

She’s got the rhythm, but he’s got all the right moves.

After years on the road, rock drummer Jon White Feather is home from tour to reassess his music career. When his shy niece begs him to take a ballroom dancing class, Jon agrees, aware he’s not Fred Astaire material. Still, it stings when his sexy-hot instructor—who makes his heart do the cha-cha—deals his ego a low blow: he has no rhythm.

Maggie Buchanan is doing everything to make ends meet since her IT career fizzled, including teaching couples dancing at the community center. She’s prepared for anything—except her immediate attraction to the bad boy rocker who doesn’t know his right foot from his left.

As Jon sets out to prove he can rock his body—and hers—their sexual chemistry burns a path across the dance floor, straight to the bedroom. And Maggie wasn’t expecting a man with limited dance skills would know exactly how to sweep her off her feet.

Product Warnings: Sweet and hot…this couple knows how to bump and grind.

Title: A Touch of Confidence by Jess Dee
Two to Tango Anthology
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Red Hots!!!
Length: Novella

Summary:

He kissed the girl and he liked it. Now to convince her it could be love…

A Two to Tango story

When a coveted retail space opens up in Rose Bay, Claire Jones and her sisters waste no time grabbing the perfect spot to relocate their expanding children’s bookshop. But when Claire arrives to sign on the dotted line, she discovers someone else got there first.

Worse, the new tenant is shaking hands with a man who is definitely not the elderly Jack Wilson with whom she made a verbal agreement three days ago. This Jack Wilson is a tall, hunky giant—and no amount of righteous indignation can mask her body’s bone-deep sexual response.

Jack never planned to take over the family company; he’s a teacher, not a businessman. But with his grandfather in the hospital, he’s taken up the reins—and steered straight into trouble. Now he’s faced with a serious mistake, and a beautiful, Amazon warrior of a woman who’s demanding satisfaction.

He’d love to give it to her, but his idea of satisfaction has nothing to do with business, and everything to do with getting the curvy goddess naked. The sooner the better…

Product Warnings: If you’ve never made love to a man who quotes Shakespeare during sex…be warned. You’re gonna want to after reading this book.

Saturday Series Spotlight: Jayne Rylon’s Powertools

Title: Kate’s Crew by Jayne Rylon
Powertools Series
Publisher: Samhain Publishing Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!
Length: ShortStory

Summary:

Nothing’s sexier than a man, or five, with power tools.

Sultry summer heat has nothing on the five-man crew renovating the house next door. No one could blame Kate for leaning out the window for a better view of the manscape. The nasty fall that follows isn’t part of her fantasy—but the man who saves her from splattering the sidewalk is definitely the star.

When Mike personally attends to her injuries, she realizes her white knight in a hard hat has a tender side, giving her no choice but to surrender to the lust that’s been arcing between them since day one. In the aftermath of the best sex of her life, she whispers her most secret desire: to be ravaged by his crew.

She never expected Mike would dare her to take what she wants—or that the freedom to make her most decadent desires come true could be the foundation for something lasting…

Product Warnings: This book may cause you to spontaneously combust as five hot guys bring a woman’s wildest fantasies to life during one blazing summer affair.

Title: Morgan’s Surprise by Jayne Rylon
Powertools Series
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!, Menage & More
Length: Short Story

Summary:

For a tasty birthday treat, add four men and stir.

Powertools, Book 2

Note to self: When confessing a crush on an ultra-hot construction worker to your best friend, make sure he’s not standing right behind you.

If Morgan thought spilling the beans on her lust for Joe would scare him off, she couldn’t have been more wrong. Following her birthday wish gone awry, the hunk is treating her to one surprise after another. From little things that make her smile to lavish, romantic dates, Joe is turning out to be the stuff of dreams

Joe’s attentions to the sexy pastry shop owner begin as lighthearted fun. Until he finds out about the past that, until now, has made her keep him at arm’s length. Determined to show her seeking pleasure is no crime, he sets out to fulfill her steamiest fantasies—with a little help from three of his best friends.

After a four-course birthday adventure, which presents Morgan as the sweetest imaginable dessert, she expects Joe to walk away. But now that Joe’s brought Morgan out of her shell, he’s hungry for something he never expected to crave—a forever kind of love.

Product Warnings: This book features a m/m/m/m/f ménage. Enough said.

Title: Kayla’s Gift by Jayne Rylon
Powertools Series
Publisher:Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!, Menage & More
Length: Short Story

Summary:

One blizzard, two days, three men to keep her warm.

Powertools, Book 3

Naked is Kayla’s style. She’s exposed to bare skin more than the average person—like when she’s up to her elbows in massage oil, soothing the tired muscles of the construction crew building her new spa, a barter to offset some of the cost. Once it’s finished, she plans to open a private retreat for fellow naturists.

It should be a routine service. Yet for some reason, caressing the man on her table is blurring her normally crystal-clear distinction between nudity and sexuality. And stirring up kinky fantasies involving the rest of the crew.

She never intended to share details about her lifestyle-slash-business plan, not even with the open-minded, sexy crew. But when a faulty truck engine and one hell of a snowstorm trap the three men at her cabin, heat sears away her cover story—and her inhibitions.

Cocooned in blissful isolation, Dave, Neil and James show her that passion knows no barrier, with or without clothing. Leaving Kayla wondering if two days of mutual satisfaction will ever be enough…

Product Warnings: This book features a m/m/m/f ménage hot enough to melt an entire blizzard’s worth of snow and ice.

Title: Devon’s Pair by Jayne Rylon
Powertools Series
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!, Menage & More
Length: Novella

Summary:

Will his boyfriend’s girlfriend become his girlfriend too?

Powertools, Book 4

James has watched each of the crew fall in love, one by one, until only he and his life partner Neil remain “unattached”. So, when he sees the way his bisexual boyfriend is checking out their new apprentice, he’s sure he’s doomed to lose the man of his dreams.

His love is strong enough that he would let go to ensure Neil’s happiness. Instead, sparks fly between the three of them—along with the rest of the crew—and he realizes he might not have to surrender because his boyfriend’s girlfriend is becoming his girlfriend too.

Product Warnings: The world’s first m/f/m/f/m/f/m/m/f…we think. You never know exactly what’s going to happen next when the crew gets back together, but it’s guaranteed to be steamy.

Title: Nailed to the Wall by Jayne Rylon
Powertools Series
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!, Menage & More
Length: Novella

Summary:

The crew is back and they’re dirtier than ever.

Powertools, Book 5

Five sexy men with a penchant for love and lust in any variation have formed a crew. They work hard and play harder—together. Though their partnership began in construction, renovating houses and selling them for a mint, they’ve formed a bond around their shared goal to provide women, and each other, with the ultimate sexual experience.

Over the past year, as each member discovered his soul mate—or two—they expanded the reach of their circle, lighting up their nights along with their souls. Monogamous relationships and the desire to start families threaten to put their libertine revelry on the back burner. Will the passion that bonded them fade away? How will the new crew wives cope with the complex relationship the men will always cherish and crave?

Determined to prove they stand by their men, the women decide it’s time to flex some muscle and give the crew a dose of girl power. They collude to take the guys as their horny hostages, using some big guns: boudoir photos, a pillow fight and a calculated foray into partner swapping. But will they have the guts to go through with their plans?

Product Warnings: By Book Five in this series, fans will attest that anything goes in the crew. Be prepared for ménage in every flavor—m/f, f/f, mfm, fmf, and more—along with a slew of that’s what he said jokes. No throwing tomatoes at the author, please!

Title: Hammer It Home by Jayne Rylon
Powertools Series
Publisher: Samhain Publishing, Ltd
Genre: Contemporary, Romance, Red Hots!!, Menage & More
Length: Novella

Summary:

When times get tough, the tough stage one scorching-hot intervention.

Powertools, Book 6

Morgan is happy that her best friend Kate is expecting the crew’s littlest member, but helping renovate a room for a nursery is more than she can bear. Baby furniture and pastel paint are a painful reminder that she and Joe can’t—and will never—conceive. There’s no hiding it from the rest of the close-knit crew, either.

True to their unique brand of love, the gang rallies to find a non-traditional solution to alleviate their friends’ suffering. Not with a cold, clinical visit to a sperm donation clinic, but delivering it the old-fashioned way. With a healthy dose of searing passion.

But soon after Morgan’s scorching hot night with her husband’s four best friends, an accident threatens the life of one of those men. The challenges that lie ahead will test the crew’s powerful bond to the limit—and their long-standing promise to take care of each other through good, bad, and sexy times. Whatever it takes…

Product Warnings: Not everything in life turns out as planned, but with love all odds are surmountable. Especially when those odds include five hot construction workers on your side. Contains m/m/f group ménage scenes.
