SCROLL DOWN FOR THE GIVEAWAY

Oh, what fun we had with The Sexpert this summer. So many LOL moments. So many sexy desserts. And so many amazing Pierce and Myrtle misunderstandings too. Well… now that Andrew and Eden have found their HEA it’s time for Pierce and Myrtle to find theirs. If that’s even possible. 😉

Myrtle is butt-hurt after Pierce accused her of being the Sexpert last summer and she’s not a woman who forgives and forgets. Sure, she got a fat raise, an office, and even a VP title, but everything about the Pierce/Myrtle dynamic is… OFF. Because she actually misses her old assistant position and craves the control she used to have over Pierce.

So she comes up with a plan to make him her submissive. And he comes up with a plan to make her… HIS. 😉

You can’t have two bosses, so who will win? Guess you’ll have to read the book to find out.

We guarantee even more LOL moments as Pierce and Myrtle find their way back to the “way it was” and you will not be disappointed. In fact, you’re probably gonna be looking for an apartment in the TDH before this book is over because this world is one you’ll never want to leave.

So without further ado…

The SEXPERT

Authors: Johnathan McClain, JA Huss
Series: Tall Dark and Handsome, Book 1
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tags: 2018 Release, Sexpert, Tall Dark Handsome

EDEN I’m just a simple girl who likes dessert. And sexy men. And social media. So starting an anonymous video channel called The Sexpert as a side hustle to make up for my low-paying marketing job at Le Man Magazine seemed like a perfectly sensible career decision. Until we went viral, my boss accused my anonymous personality of stealing his idea, and now my super sexy new boyfriend, Andrew, is out to get me. Her. Me. Whatever. ANDREW I don’t want it to be her. I do not want this… sweet, delicious, shy social media nerd working at my best friend’s magazine to be the face behind those perky cupcakes on the Sexpert channel. I don’t want it to be her… because I like her. A lot. She’s funny, and quirky, and smart, and creative… and… I really, really like her. It just can’t be her. But it is. More info →

Pierced

Authors: Johnathan McClain, JA Huss
Series: Tall Dark and Handsome, Book 2
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Tags: Sexpert, Tall Dark Handsome

MYRTLE I’m a just an erotic woman who likes control. And edgy sex. And hard men. At the same time. So starting an outreach class at the TDH community center to teach other women how to put the dom in dominatrix was inevitable. Even if I was only doing it to use my boss, Pierce, as my submissive example and pay him back for humiliating me in front of the whole world last summer. PIERCE I regret what I did to Myrtle. She’s the best assistant I’ve ever had and I’ll play along—for now—because I want to make things right. But... come on. Me? A submissive? Ha. Myrtle Rothschild might have the upper hand at the moment… but I’m bringing my A-game. I’m gonna take back control. She can wear her hot, thigh-high latex boots. She can crack that whip all she wants. Hell, I’ll even let her leave marks. But I’m about to school Ms. Rothschild in the art of who’s the boss. And she’s about to get Pierce-d. More info →

People have been asking me to write another 321 since the day 321 came out in January 2015. My response was always the same. There is no other 321. But there was a Taking Turns in 2017 and now there is The Triangle.

Dark, twisted menage seems to be my most popular genre and I heard the fans when they screamed for more. So all year I’ve been planning this book. Figuring out the mystery, the suspense, the men, and the one lucky woman who will fill my pages. I was just sitting down to write and get serious about written this book after Johnathan and I finished The Sexpert when I sent the blurb and first couple of chapters to Johnathan. His immediate reaction was so positive and his enthusiasm for the premise so contagious, I asked him if he’s like to write it with me.

Obviously he said yes because here we are! And today is cover reveal day! We have a giveaway for you at the bottom of the post so after you check out the blurb (and grab the book on pre-order!!!! ? ) go enter to win a $25 gift card.

THE TRIANGLE WILL RELEASE ON TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 25, 2018.

The Triangle

Authors: Johnathan McClain, JA Huss
Genres: Erotic Romance, Romantic Suspense
Tag: Triangle

They’re sworn enemies and I’m in the middle. Both of them claimed me. Had me. Used me. Forgot me. Except… I don’t remember any of it. I don’t even know who I am or why I’m in this cramped basement apartment with tinfoil covering the tiny windows when my bank account says I have over two million dollars. I don’t know how I got the stitches on the back of my head, or the scar under my chin, or the ache in my shoulder—but I do know I probably deserved it. I don’t know why there’s a shotgun in the closet, a sniper rifle under the floorboards, and a pistol under my pillow. I don’t know why I stay. I don’t know why I care. I don’t know why I’m trying to put something back together when it was never whole to begin with. Until I look at them. Until they look at me. Until I touch them. Until they touch me. And even though the memories don’t come back. I know. I know why I stay. More info →

SCROLL DOWN FOR THE GIVEAWAY

Oh, wow. We have a huge announcement for you guys today!

Johnathan and I finished our FIFTH book together a couple weeks ago and now we’re ready to reveal the title, description, and cover for you guys! We had SUCH a fantastic time writing this book. Every time we passed chapters back and forth we just… laughed. There are so many laugh-out-loud moments in here, it’s ridiculous!

So in case you didn’t guess this is a romantic comedy. One the one hand we have EDEN PRESLEY. Just a nice girl with spectacular… um… cupcakes and a low-paying job as a hashtag maker for a glossy men’s magazine. So broke-ass Eden and her broke-ass (newly single-mother) BFF Zoey come up with an idea for an anonymous YouTube Channel called… you guessed it. The Sexpert. Eden and her cupcakes are the stars, BFF Zoey is behind the scenes doing web design and production.

Then one day they go viral. People are watching, and clicking, and FINALLY this time-suck of a gig is gonna pay off.

Great, right?

Nope. Because HER BOSS claims he had the Sexpert idea first, didn’t trademark it, and is now accusing The Sexpert of stealing his idea. So he hires HIS BFF to hunt down this anonymous idea-stealing tart and out her.

Enter ANDREW HAWTHORNE. BFF to Eden’s boss, brand-new billionaire, and creator of the cool new voice-altering app, VoiceLift.

Which… is how the Sexpert has been disguising her voice and is about to be her downfall.

Sexy hi-jinks ensue… with much laughter along the way.

SO WITHOUT FURTHER ADO WE PRESENT TO YOU…

LAST ONE

SCROLL DOWN FOR THE LAST GIVEAWAY!

This is the final cover in the Original Sin Series and I think it’s worth a little talk about covers in general. When you first become an author you think about your cover first. I imagine all authors are similar in that respect, ya know? When I was writing my first Junco book (Clutch) I had all kinds of ideas. I hired an artist over at DeviantArt to make my dream a reality. It’s a great cover and I still use it as the cover of the first omnibus edition. But that artist changed artistic direction and didn’t want to do anymore after he was done, so I got another guy, also wonderful. But eventually I changed them to the softer versions that are for sale now to try to appeal to women instead of men.

Funny, that lesson. 😉 Because when you’re writing romance it’s the same thing. You have a pool of “potential readers” out there when you publish a book and pretty much ALL OF THEM can figure out if a book is “their thing” by looking at the cover. So you know, fuck that saying don’t judge a book by its cover. I mean, it’s cool when you apply it to people or houses or whatever. But seriously, that adage has almost no relevance to books. Because the cover is the MAIN thing a book is judged on until it’s read.

AND… everyone has different expectations for a cover, right? Like… I read a lot of literary science fiction. I’m looking for a philosophical book so when I see a SF book with a spaceship on the cover, unless it’s like… a pastel drawing of a spaceship, I’m pretty sure that’s not my kind of book, ya know? I’m not into space battles. I’m into characters. So I actually like SF books with a person on the cover. And preferably not a full-action shot with guns drawn, but a face. I like a face. And if it’s got a little computer chip in the eye, I’m definitely gonna go take a look at that one.

So a cover is nothing more than an advertisement for what’s inside. If you like to read dirty erotica you look for a guy with abs. If you like chick lit you look for a cute-sy illustration with lots of lavish typography. If you like cozy mysteries that cartoon cupcake is your cue. Right? Right? 🙂

Our books are a little bit… literary. I mean, as far as dirty books go, they are. So even though a couple is my usual go-to for a cover (and I was making the Total Exposure and Pleasure of Panic covers as I did these for us – so yeah…) I like the idea of a “high-concept” cover. A symbol, if you will. Like Christen Grey’s tie on the cover of Fifty. Or the whole crown and leaf emblem on Outlander. Something to make a book and an author stand out.

Now here’s the thing. Covers go through trends, just like fashion. One year everyone has swirly typography, the next year everyone has a giant face, the next year it’s all about black and white, then next year it’s symbols… they go in and out of fashion like shoes. Which is why I just recently updated my old Rook & Ronin Series covers. They had like ALL those trends lol! In one series!

The covers for this series were the first… disagreement… Johnathan and I had. He wanted one thing, I knew better… so we hashed that out and finally came up with the feather for book one. It’s a perfect symbol for that book. The whole series, really. For book two the shoes were… excuse the pun, a shoe-in. We didn’t have any disagreements on that at all. The one we haggled over the most was the watch for Flesh Into Fire. I love the watch, it’s HIS watch, by the way. Right off his very own wrist. And he came around about it so… bygones. 😉

So by the time we got to THIS cover for Passion Rising, we’d had these cover talks too many times, I think. It was tough though. How to convey a theme and still reach the right readers? Well, when you read this book you’ll understand how relevant our last cover is. The cologne bottle, the cuff links, the belt… all very sexy in the romance world. And perfect symbols for what this book is about. And we hope you enjoy looking at them all!

So, with out further ado… here’s the final cover for The Original Sin Series

by JA Huss and Johnathan McClain!
