One Night......

One Night.....if you could spend one night with any man in the world who would it be and why?

Excerpt (unedited) From Loving True Coming Soon from Ocean's Mist Press

“I should have known she would be right on time.” Hayward tossed the potholder on the tabletop. His footsteps ate up the short distance between the kitchen and the front door. He couldn’t believe how excited he was about this date. He ran his sweaty palms down the front of his pants. True didn’t have a clue what a big step this was for him. Blowing out a quick breath, he opened the door. “Hi, I’m glad you could make it.”
“Thank you,” True replied.
His hand tightened around the doorknob True looked like a vision with the moonlight shining behind her. He prayed he would be able to keep his hands to himself all night. Her pink shirt hugged her every curve and didn’t leave anything to his imagination.
“Wow something smells delicious,” True uttered.
He also smelled the spicy scent of the lasagna in the oven drifted toward them from the kitchen. But that wasn’t the scent that held his attention at the moment. “Yes, you do.” Hayward groaned taking a light whiff of True’s perfume.
“Hayward, is there a reason I can’t come in?” True asked staring up at him.
He quickly took a step back. “No, there isn’t. Please come in.” He opened the oak door wider. Flashing him a smile, True brushed past his body and walked into the house. “What did you bring for dessert?” He closed the door behind them and followed her into the living room.
“I made a yellow cake with chocolate icing.”
“How did you know cake was my favorite dessert?” He asked taking the cake from her hands. “Why don’t you follow me to the kitchen?” He turned, then headed in the direction of the kitchen
“You have a breathtaking home.” True mumbled behind him. “I hate to admit that I’m a little jealous.”
He had looked at her house first before deciding to buy this one. His house design differed from hers with its vaulted ceilings. Four wide-open windows on the far wall overlooked beautifully landscapes backyard. Plus his breakfast nook was separate from the kitchen area with it’s own window.
Hayward placed the warm cake in the middle of the marble island and took one last whiff of the mouth-watering sweetness. “Thanks again for bringing dessert.” He stared at True in the kitchen doorway and his pulse quickened at the sight of her. “True, you don’t have to hover in the doorway. I won’t bite you if you come in here.”
He watched True ease away from the door and come toward him. Once again she proved she wasn’t intimidated by him. “Thank you again for inviting me to dinner. A home cooked meal bets a TV dinner any day of the week.” She commented standing mere inches in front of him.
Hayward hid his smile. “You’re welcome.” His gaze traveled over her face, then moved over her body slowly. Why did she have to look so perfect all the time? “I didn’t think you would actually show up,” he confessed. The sweet intoxicating scent of her body overwhelmed his mind and body. It was hard for him to keep a rational thought.
“How much longer until the food is done?”
“If I tell you something, you can’t laugh.”
Tilting her head to the side True stared at him and he could tell her curiosity was aroused. “Okay, I promise I won’t laugh.”
“I was so excited about our date that I turned on the oven timer, but I forgot about the oven. He glanced at her face for any kind of expression. A very tiny smile touched her lips. “Hey, you promised not to laugh.” He waved his finger toward the slight smile on her lips. “Don’t you dare laugh at me anyone could have made the same mistake.”
“I’m not laughing,” True whispered pressing two fingers to her mouth.
Hayward couldn’t take his eyes off her because the smile lit up her entire face. “Do you know how much I want to kiss you?” The second the words left his mouth, the light went out of her face. Shit, why did I have to say that to her? His brows drew into a frown when she eased away from him. He needed to save the situation fast or this date was over.

Marie Rochelle

YES! YES!

I'm on Cloud 9! I just finished the second book in my brother series. I've been working on that book for a while now and last night I typed THE END!

So, I thought I would share my news with my wonderful readers! However I don't get time to rest I've to finish researching the latest book in The Men of CCD series.

Don't have a clue when I'll finish this one. My hero is a strong character.

Wish me luck. Until next time.

Taken by Storm is Number #!

I can hardly sit still. I was over at OMP Website and under Bestsellers "Taken by Storm" was in the top spot. Now I can call myself a best selling author. Can you believe it?

I really want to thank everyone who took their time and hard earned money to purchase my first IR romance book.

Hopefully everyone will fall in love with Hayward and True the way they did with Storm and Syleena.

I haven't gotten a release date on "Loving True" but as soon as I do I'll let everyone know.

Just to remind you "Loving True" is a interracial romance between a BW/WM.

Marie Rochelle

Working out.....

I love watching good looking men working out at the gym sometimes I even find one to use as a muse for my books. There is just something about an attractive man that's all sweaty from a good workout that I find attractive.

So my question is what actor, singer or any other man in the public eye would want to spend a day watching as a line of sweat slowly work it's way down his body?

Marie Rochelle

Ryan needs some love......

Ryan is looking for your help Marie Rochelle fans. He is very happy that Storm and Syleena found love in Taken by Storm, but he feels a little left out.

He wants a HEA (Happy Ever After)of his own. Let's get our thinking caps on and come up with a way Ryan for meet his own true love. I probably won't be able to start working on Mister Ryan for a little while, but I do want to hear everyone's ideas.

One on One with Rachel Cade

1. For the readers that don’t know you’re the wonderful author of “Once is Never Enough.” What made you write that book and is there a sequel in the future?

What made me write Once Is Never Enough? Good question, I actually started writing that story originally in 1998. In fact I still have the notebook that I wrote in on in long hand:). The story itself has been revamped slightly from that version but I always wanted it to just be a scathingly erotic adventure. I hadn’t at that point ever read a novel where the two main characters had enough passion for me. So the novella was a bit experimental, it was my first and I wanted to see what I could do. I think it turned out beautifully. Even though it’s a short story the characters passion is molten hot and that’s just what I wanted it to be, two people that don’t know each other but have this irresistible attraction. The sequel is in progress.



2. What is your favorite part about your writing routine? Is there one thing you have to do before you can start a book?
Most often I don’t do research or outlines with my books. I am a bit reckless and unorganized that way but most often the characters make up the plot as the story goes
along just reacting to each other. One thing I love to do though is make Soundtracks for each of my stories on my MP3. That’s a bit of a guilty pleasure.


3. If you could pick any of your males to come to life who would it be and why?
Just one? That’s so mean! LOL. I don’t know if I could choose between Zenya and Simon ... they’re both blond and positively devastating! I would have to have them both.



4. Out of all of the books you have written which is your hottest? And who is your favorite hero and heroine?
That I think would be a tie between Once Is Never Enough and Nineteen for hottest story. My fav hero and heroine would be Zenya and Toni, they have such amazing chemistry and they’ve been with me so long:)



5. Do enjoy writing love scenes?
I do, but it’s kind of a double edged sword. With Once, it was my first book so essentially I could do whatever I wanted. It came out so good and so now I compare each of my new scenes to Toni and Zenya. I try to be as detailed and explicit as possible with my love scenes, and they tend to go on for pages. So its a challenge to keep it new,
because it always has to be new.



6. I heard that you signed book contracts with Ocean’s Mist Press and Venus Press how excited are you about that?
Very, all three are projects I completed last year, each is very different. Nineteen is a contemporary menage. A Sorta Fairytale is my first fantasy/romantic comedy and Dark Knight is a somewhat gothic paranormal, so it will be interesting to hear people’s reactions. I’m looking forward to it.




7. What made you decide to become a writer of interracial romances?
All throughout my teens I wrote romances, subtly, or perhaps not so subtly I found my heroes were not AA. I have a thing for white guys though, always have, and I love romance novels so I guess it was only a matter of time. I love it though and I will continue to write them, even if they never become ‘mainstream’



8. Is there one of your characters that you feel you relate to the best?
I think there is a little of me in all of my characters, even it’s just 1%. The character that I based most on myself was Lorna from Foreign Exchange.



9. There’s no doubt that you’re going to be a hot up and coming author with the way you can draw a reader into your books. So, who do you think is going to join you in those same ranks?
There are lots of great writers out there: Shiree McCarver, Marie Rochelle, Shelly Laurenston, Jade James, Anisa Damien. In fact all of them have more books published and or contracts than me at the moment :o I better step up my game!


10. Your time. Tell us anything you want. What new books are you working on? Do you have a blog? Webpage? What’s does the future hold for Ms. Cade?
I am doing my first chat Wednesday evening July 5 at The Romance Studio at 9 pm.
I will talk about everything so hopefully plenty will show up. I am working on my free read
Beyond Fantasy:Tequila Sunrise, its bbw with a Latin hero. I am doing edits for two projects and doing my best to finish Once Is Never Enough Part 2, Toni and Zenya are being stubborn. After that I hope to start daring to do full length novels only.
