Random Acts of Valentines
by J. Rose Allister

What comes to mind when you think of Valentine's Day? Love, roses, champagne, and chocolates? I like to think of Valentine's Day as one of many opportunities to celebrate romance. Why not make this Valetine's the start of a new year-round tradition by taking one day each month as a personal Valentine's Day? Even better, keep this a secret and surprise that special someone when they least expect (or most need) a random act of Valentines!

Ideas for Random Acts of Valentines:
1.  Throw a wine tasting party for two. Fruit and cheese are welcome, but no glasses allowed. Sample favorite wines off each other's flesh.
2. You've heard of breakfast in bed...try a dinner in bed! What you decide to serve for dessert is purely up to you. :)
3. Naked movie night! Cuddle up under a shared blanket with a movie rental and some snacks. Bonus points if you don't make it to the end of the flick.
4. Special delivery! Arrange to have something special delivered to your lover at work: flowers, edible arrangements, etc. Keep the accompanying note Fit For The Workplace, but flirty enough to hint at the promise of things to come.
5. On a practical note, purchase goodies on clearance after Valentine's Day and stash them to hand out throughout the year.
6. Attention writers: create a short, but hot scene featuring your valentine as the star character. Leave it on their pillow or in a jacket pocket/briefcase where they'll be sure to see it. Then bring the scene to life later on.
7. Send your lover on a sex toy treasure hunt. Hide an assortment of fun items--lotion or oil, a collar, edible panties, body paint, etc--around the house, along with notes containing clues to find the next time. Extra points if you include clever and naughty suggestions as part of the clues to build anticipation! The last item is you in the bedroom, naked and waiting to try out the treasure hoard!

Have fun sharing random acts of Valentines! 


Suite Seduction

A hotel room mix-up at a hot island resort gives Collier and Julietta the passion of a lifetime--in the arms of a total stranger. 
They must come to terms with the fallout from their unexpected encounter, unaware that their time together was no accident. Supernatural strings are being pulled by two immortals in a contest to prove whose powers are greater. And where Love and Lust come out to play, none will remain untouched.

What Have You Done? -SnippetSunday

12:00 AM 7 Comments
~~Warning: intense snippet, reference to violence~~

On Sundays, I share tidbits of my works in progress as part of Weekend Warrior’s 8-Sentence Sunday


I'm hard at work finishing up DISARMING COWBOYS, book 7 of the Lone Wolves of Shay Falls series. In this snippet, Jayel joined in a werewolf battle to help her mates and brother, despite knowing what it could cost.

Crouched under a beam of moonlight, Jayel gaped at the animal rage her mate had just unleashed. Fury and vengeance poured out of David like the blood flowing from Randall’s neck. When David raised his head to look at her, his eyes dimming to gold and blood dripping from his chin, she saw not only a wild beast, but a man who seemed desperate to take back the events of the last few seconds.
He raced toward her, dropping to his knees on one side while Jerrod made it to the other. The tang of blood overwhelming David's masculine scent was so strong that it burned her nostrils.
“What have you done?” David asked, stroking her face.
“I did what I had to,” she said. “It’s okay.”

So, what do you think?
