About Erika Wilde



Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers.

So, why the new pen name?

As Janelle Denison I've always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance. However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you'll care about and fall in love with. That is always my goal, whether I'm writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories.

Currently, I'm working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage. The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian's sizzling new relationship.

Release Tour and Review of Another at Bat by Lyssa Layne



Release Day: Major Misconduct: An Aces Hockey Novel by Kelly Jamieson



Synopsis:

As the captain of the Chicago Aces, Marc Dupuis is all business. The apartment he shares with his  teammate and best friend, Duncan, is a refuge from the pressures of fame. But when the sexiest woman  he's ever seen interrupts his early morning coffee wearing only a skimpy cami and matching panties, Marc  can't exactly say he minds. Their chemistry is off the charts. Unfortunately, this girl's no random puck  bunny. She's Duncan's little sister--and she's moving in.
 
Lovey Armstrong could stare at Marc's chiseled abs and listen to his French-Canadian accent all day. She just has no idea what's going on inside his head: When he's not charming her pants off, Marc makes a  Zamboni machine seem warm and cuddly. Lovey knows the team's bro code says no messing with sisters,  but all these mixed messages are hard on a girl's self-esteem--especially since she's finally getting her new  life together in Chicago. She decides he's worth another shot . . . because if anyone can melt the ice around Marc's heart, it's Lovey.


Excerpt:

Marc was staying away from her. Far away. After she'd invaded his room last night and attacked him -- okay, fuck, he was exaggerating as much as she did now -- he'd resolved he was not going near her. Never gonna touch her. Never never never.

Fuck.

Once they arrived back at the condo, he disappeared into his room. The other guys all headed home and Army and Lovey turned on the television and were now out there arguing about what to watch.

Seeing her that morning shooting shards of ice at him with her eyes had made his gut twist into knots. Then when they'd got home this afternoon and he saw her sitting in the kitchen with all those guys, giving them that dazzling smile, he'd felt like he'd had something stolen from him. And he wanted it back. Those other fuckers all laughing with her and apparently fucking mesmerized by her made him want to drive his fist into someone's face.

This did not bode well for the game Tuesday night.

What the fuck? He was the master of self-control. Mature. Self-disciplined. Some flaky chick was not going to throw him off his game.

Much.

He'd gone overboard last night to push her away. He'd been an asshole. His gut had burned all night because of it. He'd seen the hurt look in her eyes and he'd felt like the biggest jerk on the planet. He couldn't even explain why he'd been that way. Why he'd totally overreacted.

He threw himself onto his bed and reached for the remote control for his own TV, then started surfing. Nothing held his interest. Finally he settled on an old favorite, Die Hard.

He heard noises as Army went to bed and Lovey used the bathroom. The bathroom he had to share with her, that smelled like vanilla cupcakes. The little pink shaver that sat on a shelf in the shower made him imagine her all naked and soapy, shaving her legs.

Fuck it. His insides still burned and churned. He could not let himself be so thrown by a woman. He had serious problems to deal with -- a crappy start to the season that he couldn't explain, a team that was getting more demoralized and discouraged every day, a couple of teammates he was seriously worried about. He needed to stay focused on his career and turning things around before they found themselves out of the playoffs for the first time in fifteen years.

He had to deal with this.

He turned off his TV and tossed the remote on the bed as he swung his legs off it. He peered out into the hall, which was dark. The bathroom door was open, the room also dark. She'd already gone to bed.

He hesitated then squared his shoulders and started down the hall. In the living room, he found her wrapped up in blankets, propped against some pillows, reading on a tablet that glowed in the darkness, illuminating her pretty face. She looked up as he approached.

He didn't get too close. He stopped and shoved his hands into his jeans pockets. “Hey,” he said. “I just . . . I was . . .”

She lowered the tablet and watched him.

“I want to apologize,” he finally said. “Last night I was an asshole to you.”

“Yes. You were.”

“I'm sorry. I don't know why I overacted liked that. I mean . . . I knew we shouldn't be doing that, but I didn't need to be such a jerk about it.”

Her chin lowered a little and her mouth went soft. “No, you didn't. But I appreciate the apology.”

“It won't happen again.”

Her lips twitched. “What won't? An apology?”

“No. I meant, I won't kiss you again.”

“Damn.”

His body tightened.

“So you admit you kissed me.”

He sighed, pulling a hand out of one pocket to shove it through his messy hair. “Yeah. But like I said, it won't happen again.”

“I want it to happen.”

Jesus. What the hell was he supposed to say to that? “Don't,” he said quietly.

“I don't understand what the big deal is. We're both adults. We're attracted to each other. And don't deny it. You acted like a big jerk, but you're not stupid.”

He nodded. “Okay, fair enough. Not gonna deny it.”

She smiled.

“No,” he said warningly. “Nothing can happen.”

To his surprise she nodded. “Okay.”

He frowned. Hesitated. Then said, “Okay. Good. Glad we got this cleared up.”

She smiled. “Me too.”

“G'night, Lovey.”

“Good night.”

He walked back to his room. There. He'd apologized. He felt better.

No, he didn't.

He still felt like someone had stolen something from him. And he still wanted it back. Shit.

Review:

Major Misconduct is the first book in the new Aces Hockey series by Kelly Jamieson and it’s awesome!!

Lovey Armstrong decides to quit her job and move to Chicago. She shows up at her brother Duncan’s condo without letting him know she is on the way.

Duncan is one of the players on the Chicago Aces hockey team. Being upset that Lovey is there, he tells her she can’t stay there. But since “she always gets her way”, as Duncan says he lets her stay in his third bedroom.

Marc Dupuis is the captain of the Aces team. His nickname is Captain Codger. He is more serious than the other players. He is immediately attracted to Lovey when he sees her.

Lovey knows a lot of the players on the Aces team. The guys have already been warned not to get involved with her by Duncan. She is also very attracted to Marc and encourages they get together without Duncan knowing. The relationship builds and there are bumps in the way, but Lovey and Marc work them out. They are really good for each other. Lovey helps Marc open up and be more fun and Marc helps Lovey become more focused in what she wants.

I really liked how Lovey decided to “reboot” her life with a new start. Not only did she move to a new state, but she also started her own business to do what she loved. Lovey realized that she needed to do what made her happy even though it was a great risk.


This is a great story that I loved!! I can’t wait to read the next book in the series!!

Release Day: Another At Bat by Lyssa Layne




Synopsis:

Pitcher Jace Richards had it all. Fame, status, money, and the perfect girl but it wasn't enough. Unable to curb his gambling addiction, he lost everything. Now banned from the MLB, he's struggling to get his feet back on the ground. 

Laurel Darbis is the mom to ten-year-old Grey. Her son is her world and she'd do anything for him, including putting up with her cheating ex-husband, Adam. He doesn't make things easy on her but with her friends and family by her side, she has a strong support system to help her deal with his petty drama. 

Grey is about to start baseball with his friends but their coach backs out at the last minute. All of the parents are thrilled when the new coach arrives, everyone except Laurel. 

Can the former bad boy tame his ways for the sake of his players? Will the protective mother let down her guard? Either way, no one will ever expect what happens when the two match up.


Excerpt:

“Whatever, Ash. You know the chances of me dating are non-existent, especially a jerk like him.” I nod toward the field where Jace stands on the pitching mound, the kids filling in the other positions around him. We turn our attention back to the hottie in the center of the infield. 

“Wow, what do you have against him?” Ashley glances at me out of the corner of her eyes. “Oh geez, Laurel, don’t tell me you’re one of the groupies that went to spring training and hooked up with him!”

I swat her leg and laugh. “No! You really think I’d keep that kind of secret from you?”

“Ow!” She rubs her leg like I really hurt her. “You’d better not. If you hooked up with him, you had better give me all the details… and I mean all.”

I turn to face her. “Is your sex life that bad that you have to live vicariously through me?”

“Hell no! I’m just saying that if you ever got in bed with a baseball god like Jace Richards then I’d want a play by play. Don’t get me wrong, Kurtis and I have a hot sex life, but his body is nothing like that.” She nods to the field again and we both subconsciously sigh at the sight in front of us. 

“Duly noted, I’ll add that to our friendship pact. If I ever get laid by a baseball god, take notes and tell you.” Giggling, we pinky promise and watch the kids practice. We met in elementary school and some days, we still act like we’re still in fifth grade. 

After a few minutes, Ashley asks again, “So for real, what’s your beef with Jace Richards?”

I shrug. “Everything I’ve read about him says he’s a cheater. He cheated his team, he cheated the system, he cheated on that trainer he was dating…”

“Oh, so you hate him because your ex cheated on you?”

Jace winds up again, whizzing another ball past the batter. “You know what they say, once a cheater, always a cheater.”

Ashley lifts her eyebrow. “Well, haven’t you heard, don’t always believe everything you read?”

I bite the inside of my cheek. Ashley has a point, I don’t know this guy. Maybe the tabloids lied about him, maybe there’s more to his story. I sigh, maybe I should give him the benefit of the doubt. Then again, last time I gave a man the benefit of the doubt, I wound up divorced.

Release Day: Playing with Fire (Hot In Chicago series Book 2) by Kate Meader



Blurb:

From popular romance author Kate Meader comes the second novel in Hot in Chicago, a brand-new, sizzling series that follows a group of firefighting foster siblings and their blazing hot love interests!


As the only female firefighter at Engine Co. 6, Alexandra Dempsey gets it from all sides: the male coworkers who think she can’t do the job, the wives and girlfriends who see her as a threat to their firefighter men, and her overprotective foster brothers who want to shelter their baby sister at all costs. So when she single-handedly saves the life of Eli Cooper, Chicago’s devastatingly handsome mayor, she assumes the respect she’s longed for will finally come her way. But it seems Mr. Mayor has other ideas…



Eli Cooper’s mayoral ratings are plummeting, his chances at reelection dead in the water. When a sexy, curvaceous firefighter gives him the kiss of life, she does more than bring him back to the land of the living—she also breathes vitality into his campaign. Riding the wave of their feel-good story might prop up Eli’s flagging political fortunes, but the sizzling attraction between them can go nowhere; he’s her boss, and there are rules that must be obeyed. But you know what they say about rules: they’re made to be broken…

Review:

Playing with Fire is the second book in the Hot in Chicago series by Kate Meader. I am a big fan of this series and this book is great!

Firefighter Alexandra (Alex) Dempsey is the sister in the Dempsey clan of adopted sibling firefighters. She feels that she has always had to prove herself and her skills as one of the few female firefighters in the Chicago Fire Department. She has also had a hard time with dating and relationships.

Eli Cooper is the mayor of Chicago. We have seen him in the first book of the series, Flirting with Fire. He doesn’t have a great relationship with the Dempsey family. Eli frequently locks heads with Alex and they constantly insult each other whenever they are together.

After a fire where Alex helps rescue Eli, their relationship shifts. They decide to start a “fake” relationship to get more support for Eli’s upcoming election. What they don’t count on are the real feelings they are developing for each other.

Alex and Eli have instant chemistry from the first time they meet. There is a sizzle between them that explodes when they finally get together.

The relationship Eli and Alexandra embark on is a beautiful one. Eli is always supportive of Alex, her feelings and wants to help her feel better about herself. Eli also shows Alex that he is willing to change his life after Alex learns circumstances of his past that upset her.

You will not be disappointed with this story. I highly recommend reading it and the other book in this series! I loved it and am looking forward to reading Alex’s brother Wyatt’s story which is next in the series.
