We have a very special Happy Hunk Day to celebrate today, because it also happens to be Jason Statham’s birthday.

To those of you who may be new to The Dungeon—or maybe just haven’t been paying attention—Jason is my #3 Darling-in-Waiting after my Darling Dean & my Darling Dwayne.

(Oh, yeah…I kinda forgot to mention to everybody that Darling Dwayne moved down a peg.  Partly because he’s dating somebody in real life (the rat bastard! :vampsmile ) & partly because I’ve recently discovered & fallen tassles-over-teakettle for the eldest Winchester brother.  Sorry, but it had to be done.  And Mistress Heidi has always reserved the right to update her stable of hotties whenever & however she sees fit.)

Anyway, today we’ll be mixing pleasure with pleasure, wishing Darling Jason a very happy birthday while at the same time ogling his very fine British hunkatude.

A fabulous new review for MUST LOVE VAMPIRES has just come out, & I have to share!  Technically, it’s a review of the trade edition of the story, but since the only difference to the paperback is new cover art, a revised back cover blurb, & the extra epilogue at the back, I think the review can be applied to either version.

Sinfully Tasty Reads says:

Must Love Vampires was the perfect name for this book because you could not help but fall in love with Sebastian and Aidan Raines. These two HOT brothers make vampires a must have. Heidi wrote a VERY HOT!!!! book that I had trouble putting down.

Chloe and Charlotte (a.k.a. Chuck) Monroe are identical twin sisters. Though they share looks and a career surname of Lamoreaux, their career paths have taken a completely different turn. Chloe is a Las Vegas showgirl for the Inferno casino and Chuck is a reporter for the Sin City Tattler.

Sebastian and Aidan Raines are the hottest vampire brothers to ever settle down in Sin City. Sebastian is the no-nonsense brother who owns and operates the Inferno casino while Aidan is carefree and still trying to find his niche in life.

This book is broken up into two stories that start off relatively the same (as in same starting point, not the same words…lol) and then come together near the end. First half follows Chuck on her quest to find out if Sebastian is an honest-to-goodness vampire. While the second half follows Chloe and Aidan on their way to eloping. What follows is a great fast past very HOT story. I can’t say anything more without spoiling the story for everyone.

I love how Heidi crafted both sides of the book. I love how the perfect couple actually had some secrets, while the other pair were liberated from their normal selves. She takes all the dark elements we love about vampires and makes it all so alluring. On a scale from 1-10 I give Must Love Vampires a 10. I thought it was super hot and sexy with everything I could want in a fast-paced vampire romance. If you are looking for hot vampires/hot twins, unexpected love, secrets, and just a good read then you need to pick up this book. I encourage everyone adult 18+ to pick up a copy of Must Love Vampires and find out if the house truly always wins.

And that just makes me smile. :yummy   Thanks, Sinfully Tasty Reads!

Good news!  PROJECT: RUNAWAY HEIRESS is done! :dancebat

It took one last push through the weekend, & the end—or would that be The End?—isn’t quite as perfect as I’d like, but I’m pretty much done with the writing on the very first book of my new “Project: Passion” mini-series for Harlequin Desire.

I had a rough start with this one.  First, it came about a lot more quickly than I ever could have expected.  I turned in my last book to Desire & had a chat with Editor C about what I should do next.  A weekend of brainstorming later, I’d come up with the idea for “Project: Passion”.  Two days after that, Desire bought them & wanted the first book as quickly as possible.

Which was all well & good until…

Second, my grandmother had her stroke.  That ate up such a huge chunk of my summer (i.e. writing time) & was so incredibly draining, it really threw me off.  Editor C was hugely understanding & kind enough to give me a little extra time with the book, & finally—finally!—I was able to kick that puppy out.

And at this point, I’m really happy with it.  Of course, I’m not truly done yet.  Oh, no—coming to an end with the initial writing is only Step 1.  Next I need to let my brain rest & reboot, then go back to the beginning & start the revision process.  Fingers crossed everything will go smoothly & the story will hold together beautifully.

But I can’t wait to have that done & get this book turned in.  That will mean I can jump into Book 2, PROJECT: RUNAWAY BRIDE, which is already starting to brew in my head & is going to be good. :cool
