TEASE ME by Tracy WolffReleases April 6, 2010
Genre: Erotic
Burned once too often, true crime writer Lacey Richards has sworn off love. Instead, she explores her deepest desires through her anonymous- and very provocative-blog. Anonymous, that is, until her dark and ultrasexy neighbor discovers her dirty secret.
Stockbrocker-turned-carpenter Byron Hawthorne gave up life in the fast lane, hoping to start over in a new city. When he learns his alluring neighbor is the one writing the sizzling blog that keeps him up all night, he can't resist offering to fulfill her fantasies in the flesh. But Byron isn't the only man provoked by Lacey's writing. Now Lacey doesn't know who she can trust-and who she can dare to tease.
Thoughts: After being alerted to DARK EMBERS by Tessa Adams, Tracy Wolff's alter ego, I decided to look around at Tracy's current releases and this book caught my eye reminding me that I've already read a review of TEASE ME at Smokin' Hot Books. Check it out HERE.
STORMWALKER by Allyson JamesReleases May 4, 2010
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Janet Begay is a Stormwalker, capable of wielding the raw elemental power of nature, a power that threatens to overwhelm her. Only her lover, Mick, is able to calm the storm within her-even as their passion reaches unimaginable heights of ecstasy.
But when an Arizona police chief's daughter is taken by a paranormal evil, they find themselves venturing where no human can survive-for only together can they overcome the greatest danger they've ever faced.
Thoughts: I love the idea of a heroine having the ability to control the power of nature. It reminds me of Storm from X-Men and also that little part of me that wished she could do the same.
THE PRINCESS IN HIS BED by Lila DiPasquaReleases November 2, 2010
Genre: Historical Romance
Inspired by “The Emperor’s New Clothes,” “The Ugly Duckling, and “The Princess and the Pea,” Lila DiPasqua spins three sexy tales that give new meaning to the term bedtime story…
The Marquis’ New Clothes: To save her cousin, Aimee de Miran must retrieve a jeweled ring from the most sinfully seductive man at court, the Marquis de Nattes. But to search his considerable wardrobe she’ll have to get very close to the notorious rake…and soon she finds herself very close to him indeed, with his clothes—and hers—utterly forgotten…
The Lovely Duckling: Reputed for his carnal skills, Joseph d’Alumbert prefers amorous encounters without emotional entanglement—until a quick-witted lady stirs tender feelings and hot desire. Emilie de Sarron suffered burns to her body as an infant, and keeps her scars—and her heart—well hidden. But Joseph is determined to peel away her inhibitions, one slow steamy kiss at a time, to reveal the beautiful swan inside…
The Princess and the Diamonds: Princess Gabrielle can’t sleep at night. There is something hard in her bed. No, not just the stolen diamonds tucked under her mattress, but the handsome Marquis on it….whose carnal talents she can’t resist. But he threatens her secret mission, and worse, she stands to lose far more than the diamonds---her heart is at stake….
Thoughts: This cover is gorgeous. We've yet to hit the release date of Lila's debut and I'm already dying for book two! Who's with me?!
SEVEN NIGHTS TO FOREVER by Evangeline CollinsReleases November 2, 2010
Genre: Historical Romance
AN UNMATCHED BEAUTY
Some sacrifices are more difficult than others. Left destitute after her father's death, Rose Marlowe has debts to settle and a younger brother to support. But she also possesses an unmatched beauty-one that could command quite a price…
Now, every month, Rose secretly travels from her country home to spend one week at a decadent London brothel, where she's become a sought-after prize. Elegant and accomplished in the art of pleasure, she spends her nights fulfilling the fantasies of the gentlemen of the ton while denying the wish buried deep in her heart.
Then one night a wealthy merchant gentleman walks through her door. Handsome, kind and compassionate, with a lonely soul that matches her own, James Archer is not her usual client. Falling in love with a client, never mind a married one, is unthinkable. Yet Rose can't help but lose herself in his arms as one night becomes seven-and seven nights lead to a chance at forever…
Thoughts: Stunning. This cover is absolutely stunning. Thanks to Barbara for emailing me about this one.
IN DREAMS BEGIN by Skyler WhiteReleases November 2, 2010
Genre: Dark Fantasy
Anchored in fact on both sides of history, Laura and Ida, modern rationalist and fin de siècle occultist, are linked from the moment Ida channels Laura into the body of celebrated beauty and Irish freedom-fighter Maud Gonne. When Laura falls—from an ocean and a hundred years away—passionately, Victorianly in love with the young poet W. B. Yeats, their love affair entwines with Irish history and weaves through Yeats’s poetry until Ida discovers something she wants more than magic in the subterranean spaces in between.
With her Irish past threatening her orderly present and the man she loves in it, Laura and Yeats—the practical materialist and the poet magus—must find a way to make love last over time, in changing bodies, through modern damnation, and into the mythic past to link their pilgrim souls . . . or lose them forever.
Thoughts: Hello! What a perfect week to feature this beauty with my Skyler White giveaway going on for AND FALLING, FLY. I saw this gem over at Lurve a la Mode this morning and had to steal it. Be sure to check out the other covers KMont posted. I'm dying to know who her cover source is, btw.

I really have to read Lila's books. They sound great. And Evangeline's cover? Are you kidding me? Hot!
I've got Stormwalker on pre-order and the cover of Evangeline Collins...it reminds me of another....Kismet by Monica Burns. I don't know what it is, the posure, the vibe...hhmmmm.
I've also heard very good things about Tracy Wolff so keeping my eye out for that one too ;) My CC is always in danger of being used after a trip to your blog VFG *grin*
I was thinking the same thing as Leontine, that cover totally looks like Kismet
Well, you've got a home run on this Radar update! EVERYTHING sounds great!!
I can say that I you'll love Tracy Wolff. She writes with such intensity. And did I tell you that this girl is a hoot!!!! We're doing a workshop together at RWA and she's so much, and one of my best writing buds!!!!
Also, Lila is a good Canadian girl whom I had the fortune to meet at RWA last year, only a few days after making her FIRST sale, which was of course, A Wakened. We sat together at the NAL coctail party. She's so lovely, and from what I was told of the book, it's going to be great!!!
The others are all new to me, but going on the wish list, with the exception of Evangeline, whom I love!!! Her Ladyship's Companion was great and earned a spot on my keeper shelf!
Hey Barbara!
Thanks again for the heads up on the Evangeline Collin's cover!! Its so beautiful. I keep staring at it.
HUGS, VFG

Hi Leontine!
Thats so funny that cover for SEVEN NIGHTS TO REMEMBER reminds you of KISMET b/c I thought the exact same thing when I saw it. No harm with that though. I love the KISMET cover. ;)
Hugs to your CC. I feel your pain on that one.
Hugs, VFG

Hiya Charlotte!!
Oooo goodie. I love when someone says "Yes I've read that and yes it's GOOD". LOL! Looking really forward now to TEASE ME.
Yeah, Lila does sound like she's a sweetie. She has to be with the cover gods blessing her. They don't do that for just anyone you know. *wink*
I have HER LADYSHIP'S COMPANION too and its part of my selected 2010 reads. Yes I do have that many books where I have to segment them into yearly groups. Isn't that kinda sad?...
HUGS, VFG
Tease Me by Tracy Wolff was pretty hot, her writing style is awesome.
Oh yes, I'll take them all!
That first one Tease Me looks Hot! I will have to check that one out.
Stormwalker looks very good. I'm eyeing that one, but you probably guessed that already though. ;)
Oh Wow! I'm loving all of these covers!
Thanks so much for the lovely comments! I'm thrilled The Princess in His Bed made your radar. You've placed me in awesome company! Those other books look great. :)
Hugs,
Lila

You're welcome, Lila. Congrats on your beautiful upcoming releases!

Hey there! I will gladly tell you how I get covers for my Cover Spotlight posts. Believe it or not, luck has had some to do with it and being at right place at right time on Twitter when authors announce covers.
BUT the recent batch was mostly from recently released Penguin publishing catalogs via their site. What a treasure trove lol! I got an email tip on that one.
I also scour Amazon and publisher sites at times to see what titles sound catchy. I'll follow up on the authors' sites to see if there are covers yet or I'll add them to my Amazon Wish List and then occasionally check back with that to see if anything new has popped up.
What that amounts to? A LOT of time on the internet! Make you some coffee before lol. And I still manage to miss a lot of good ones I'm trying to keep an eye on.
SciFiGuy also does tons of great cover discoveries.
