Melissa from Luv To Read and her twin sister, My Fictional Boyfriends and Melyssa M – your daily inspirational posting of hot men and women, have kept me inspired, helped with writing many a sexy love scene and to conjure up images in my mind of hot alpha males and strong sexy women. I am hoping to meet you when I get to the USA again.
A special shout out to the other Australian bloggers who have been amazing and supported me — helping to raise the profile of myself and other Aussie authors – thank you Sharon, Rose, Tasha, Melanie, Kristine, Tamara, Jodie, Kristy, Jess, Michele and Becky. And Trina from NZ too.
To the crazy bloggers who make me laugh and enrich my day with their political incorrectness (which is so me), Tara and Dawn or best known as T & D—keep cracking me up, chicks.
There are so many amazing blogger who have supported and cheered me on from day one—from all over the world. Joni, Michele, both Amandas, Tammie, Tanya, Jennifer, Philomena, and tooooo many to mention. Thank you, I really appreciate every share and post
To Jennifer from Read and Share Book Blog and to Tanya from Submit & Devour – for choosing ‘Open Your Eyes’ as their Top 10 and Top 20 reads for 2013. Wow. I’m honored, knowing how many amazing books were released in 2013, to be on that darn list.
Since both my Mom and mother-in-law have passed on, I didn’t know who would actually read my books. I am sure that both of them are smiling down at me though – in spite of the naughty words and hot sexy scenes, I know in my heart they would have been proud of me for following my dream and doing what makes me happy.
To my DH: some days you are my Darling Husband and other days… (lol) but your wonderful support during this writing journey has brought us closer than ever. Thank you for believing in me, for telling me what an awesome talented writer you think I am (yes, flattery will get you everywhere)—especially when I sometimes doubt I can string a decent sentence together. Yes, I do have an active imagination and I’m cheeky, but that’s why you love me, babe! Oh, and for the countless cups of Milo at midnight and keeping my M&M stash fully supplied – thanks!!
My kids: thanks for supporting me and being the first to buy my new release the minute it goes live. I don’t know if there is a Porsche in your future, I’m not E.L. James or J.K. Rowling – yet. But I’m working on it, kiddos, hang in there…
Many people attribute Fifty Shades of Grey as the reason they started reading Adult Romance Novels – mine came in the form of Gideon Cross in Sylvia Day’s Crossfire series. Holy hotness!!
To every writer who has gone before me, and to all those writing their hearts out now, because they just MUST, I salute you. Laying yourself bare to the world to read your words is not for sissies. It takes guts, determination and tenacity to write a story. And that’s the easy part… everything that comes with the territory of being an author makes it an amazing journey. And finally: those aspiring authors who deep inside know they do want to write – take the plunge and just do it!! Just start, the rest will follow. Do not die with regrets.

Excerpt: Lost in France
I ate with gusto; French food was famous for a reason. Alain cocked his head, his one eyebrow lifted as he gazed at me. I couldn’t place his expression – was it amusement?
“Another thing I really like about you –” he chuckled as he leaned over to wipe the sauce from my chin. There is more than one thing he likes about me?
He placed the serviette back on the table. “French women don’t eat much. They just pick at their food. It’s such a waste of time… spending hours in the kitchen.” His grin widened as his gaze raked up and down my body, and then settled on my mouth. “I would love to cook for you at my chateau. And watch you enjoy every morsel.”
A tempting invitation indeed.
Lowering his voice he continued, “Watching you eat with such joy is very sensual, Mademoiselle Clarke, it really turns me on.”
What? How could my eating have that kind of effect on him? He was so easy to please. My previous boyfriends had always frowned upon my appetite, worried that I may add a few pounds to my already full and buxom frame.
He leaned over and brushed his lips over mine, his tongue rimming my lips. “I could just eat you now,” he murmured at the corner of my mouth. I spluttered, fully comprehending his innuendo. People in the restaurant were staring at us, a knowing smile on most of their faces.
“Alain! Not here!” I could have saved my breath. He threw back his head and a deep guttural laugh escaped his lips, creasing the corners of his eyes.
“Oh Mademoiselle, it is not possible – to not touch you. You are in for a treat this afternoon, I am going to delight you in ways you have never experienced before.”
I wasn’t sure I wanted to understand that last comment, so I returned my focus to my delicious food, aware of an awkward warmth spreading up from my chest to my cheeks. For goodness sake, I really had to stop this blushing thing. My cheeks were permanently flushed lately…
As if he read my thoughts, Alain gently brushed my cheek with the back of his hand. How could the simple act of eating – in a public place – be so damn erotic? He had me all hot and flustered and we hadn’t e
ven begun sightseeing yet. A swarm of butterflies were doing a jig in my stomach, my appetite for food gone.
After paying the bill, Alain took hold of my hand and lead me outside. He tilted his head toward the limo. “Dessert will be served in there.”
Once settled inside, Alain pulled a bottle of cognac from the small bar and half-filled a crystal glass with the amber liquid. He expertly swirled the glass before taking a deep sniff, his nostrils slightly flared. My self-appointed French tour guide was beyond hot as his eyes gleamed wildly, everything about him dangerous and seductive.
Gazing into my eyes from below a curtain of thick black lashes, he took a sip from the glass. Mesmerized, I held my breath and watched as he leaned over and gently parted my lips with his tongue, squirting the warm liquid into my mouth. My senses went into overdrive. I eagerly swallowed the fiery ambrosia – it warmed me all the way to my belly. My eyelids grew heavy and fluttered closed.
Completely lost to this man’s lips, I leaned back as he kissed my neck, his breath warm on my skin. I moaned softly as his weight pushed me further into the plush leather seat. His erection pulsed against my hip, causing an equal throbbing ache and dampness between my legs. My need for him grew as his tongue plunged into my mouth – I wanted him – badly.
The limo’s engine cut. Alain pulled away. No! Don’t stop now. Please!
My eyes flew opened. Bewildered, I stared at the most familiar iron structure in the world.
“Our first stop this afternoon.” Gaston, the chauffeur, smiled.
“We will continue this up there,” Alain whispered; his voice low and husky, his eyes on fire.
About Jani Kay
Ever since she can remember, Jani wanted to write stories about people, about their lives and loves. Relationships and Happiness – arguably the most difficult things to master in life and yet exactly what everyone ultimately desires (in her humble opinion).
Jani is a voracious reader and would spend her last dollar on a book – always fascinated that for the mere price of a book, she can escape her world for a while and see through someone else’s eyes.
Her ‘thing’ is traveling – she has traveled the world, learning about the ways people live and has come to the realization that no matter where we live, we all ultimately want the same things.
