Happy New Year

Hope all of you had a lovely holiday. Ours was a delightful time spent with family and friends. New Years Eve was quiet, which gave me time to reflect on those things in which I strongly believe.

One of the things I believe in with all my heart is the Golden Rule, which is the doctrine of treating others as one would like others to treat oneself. If we were all to follow that one simple rule, what a wonderful place the world would be. The Golden Rule is arguably the most essential basis for the modern concept of human rights, in which each individual has a right to just treatment, and a reciprocal responsibility to ensure justice for others. A key element of the Golden Rule is that a person attempting to live by this rule treats all people with consideration, not just members of his or her in-group.

With the above in mind, have a wonderful New Year. May all your hopes, dreams and wishes come true throughout the new years and always.

Best,
Cat

A Romance Novel

I didn't write this but wanted to share because it's funny. Don't know who the author is or I would certainly give them credit.

Subject: A Romance Novel

He grasped me firmly but gently just above my elbow and guided me into a room, his room. Then he quietly shut the door and we were alone. He approached me soundlessly, from behind, and spoke in a low, reassuring voice close to my ear. "Just relax."

Without warning, he reached down and I felt his strong, calloused hands start at my ankles, gently probing, and moving upward along my calves slowly but steadily. My breath caught in my throat. I knew I should be afraid, but somehow I didn't care. His touch was so experienced, so sure.

When his hands moved up onto my thighs, I gave a slight shudder, and partly closed my eyes. My pulse was pounding. I felt his knowing fingers caress my abdomen, my ribcage. And then, as he cupped my firm, full breasts in his hands, I inhaled sharply. Probing, searching, knowing what he wanted, he brought his hands to my shoulders, slid them down my tingling spine and into my panties. Although I knew nothing about this man, I felt oddly trusting and expectant.

This is a man, I thought. A man used to taking charge. A man not used to taking `no' for an answer. A man who would tell me what he wanted. A man who would look into my soul and say ... "Okay, ma'am," said a voice. "All done." My eyes snapped open and he was standing in front of me, smiling, holding out my purse. "You can board your flight now."

Lust at First Sight

Hi All,
Just wanted to let you know that my new novella, Lust at First Sight, will be released on February 4th 2011.

Desperate for a knock-your-socks-off magazine article, freelance writer, Nonnie Lonigan, decides to impersonate a vampire in hopes of debunking the legendary sexual prowess of the night creatures. All bets are off when she meets, Dante, the tall, dark, and handsome vampire who runs a sophisticated Manhattan nightclub for vamps only. Sparks fly at first glance, igniting the flames of passion that leaves them breathless and vulnerable to a militia of hunters dedicated to slaying every vampire on earth.



EXCERPT:

The faint aroma of expensive men’s cologne floated on the air. She sniffed more than once, trying to grasp more of the masculine scent. If Dante looked even half as good as he smelled, things were looking up.

While waiting, she examined the oil paintings hanging on the wood-paneled walls that appeared to be thick and possibly soundproof. In case of emergency, even if she screamed for help, in all probability, no one would hear her. She snooped, stopping occasionally to admire the magnificent, ancient artwork. She assumed Dante was most likely getting on in years himself. He could quite possibly be hundreds of years old.

A small interior door opened with a whisper, and a tall, startlingly handsome man entered. He wore a white shirt, black trousers and a black dinner jacket. His dark hair brushed the back of his collar. But the eyes had it. They were an amazing shade of royal blue and seemed to glow from within. He didn’t look a day over thirty.

It didn’t happen often, but she felt the kind of tingle in her nervous system that usually indicated something important was about to happen. Aside from looking and smelling fantastic, the guy oozed sex appeal from every pore of his amazing body. Her libido kicked into gear, and the crotch of her black lace panties grew uncomfortably warm. No, warm wasn’t the proper word. If there were a heat-seeking missile within a hundred mile radius, she’d be toast.

Lust at First Sight

Hi all,

I'm working on the galley of Lust at First Sight and laughing as I do it. This was a fun story to write and a fun story to read. What happens to freelance writer, Nonnie Lonigan when she needs the story of the century and disguises herself as a vampire to get it. All bets are off when she meets up with Dante, the manager of a sophisticated nightclub for vamps only.

Hi Everybody, I'm back

It's been a long time since I've sat down and said hi to you all, but I'm back with good news. I've sold a new Cat Lovington story to The Wild Rose Press. Its working title was Freelance Love, but it will be published on the Internet as: Lust at First Sight. I'll let you know when it will be released as soon as I get the date from the publisher. I think you're going to really like this one, I know I had a darn good time writing it.

Talk to you soon.

Best,
Cat

Great Review for Santa's Coming

Friday, December 11, 2009

Santa’s Coming by Cat Lovington
Santa’s Coming by Cat LovingtonPublisher: Carnal PassionsGenre: Contemporary, Holiday Length: Short Story (25 pgs) Other: M/F, VoyeurismRating: 4 cherriesReview by Tiger LilyAmy McBride's life has been anything but exciting until she dons a slinky, red dress, a lacy thong, and a pair of spiked heels to take a walk on the wild side at her glamorous cousin's co-op Christmas Party. The glow of the full moon and too many glasses of wine awaken the bad girl hidden inside of every woman. Santa Claus came to town and Amy’s happy to sit on his lap. Want to know more? Then you need to read Santa’s Coming.

I know, I know, it’s a bit early for Christmassy stories and to think about the hustle and bustle of the holidays. It is, but, if you want a getaway from that stress, then Santa’s Coming is the eBook for you.Cat Lovington writes a quirky, fun take on the dreaded Christmas party. We’ve all been there: you don’t’ want to go, but you do. You think it’ll be icky, and then it’s not. In this story, you feel like you’re right there with Amy, getting nervous, tipsy, and finding out the holidays aren’t that depressing.

Although I really didn’t see much of an antagonist, Amy and Santa’s helper make a great couple. I like reading about a heroine who isn’t afraid to go after what she wants, especially when she’s not sure what she wants. The thrill-seeker element reeled me in.And the love scenes? Whoa! Who knew sex on a rooftop could be so darn steamy? The lust pooled from the pages of this story. Yep, you feel it like you’re really there.

If you want a fast-paced, short little story that’s guaranteed to singe the screen and get you hot under the collar, then you need to read Santa’s Coming. Whew! You’ll need a cold shower.

I give this story 4 cherries.
