I’m LOVING the early reviews for Caroline & Josh’s story, Mixing Temptation! Thank you for taking the time to read and review!!
“Add in an unexpected road trip, facing up to your past, helping someone acknowledge that they deserve a better future, sweet, poignant and smoking hot sexy-times and more fun and games with all the characters that you have come to know and enjoy through the previous books in this and theIndependence Falls series, and this is a book I read in one sitting.” ~ Robinson Reviews
“I will fan girl squeal with the rest of them that I finally got to read Josh’s story. Yeah, the others in the series are hot, chunky and alpha to the core- but Josh has always rendered me a sighing, aww-ing puddle. I love his story and you will too.” ~Reviews from the Heart
“The story makes you realize that as a society, we need to do more for the men and women who serve our country and put their lives on the line so we can enjoy freedom.” ~ Yvonne, Goodreads Reviewer
I’m counting down the days until To Tempt A SEAL, the first book in my super sexy Sin City SEALs series releases on 6/30/2015! My lovely publisher, Brazen Books, put together this little video to reveal the smexy cover image.
Enjoy!!

Ramblings From Beneath the Sheets
Your Favorite Book Corner Blog
I love answering questions from readers. And ones that I see more and more are: how supportive is your husband? Does he read your stories? Does he offer suggestions?
Mr. Stone is amazing. He watches the kids while I write and listens while I plot out loud. But no, he doesn’t read my stories. He works a lot and his leisure reading is limited to what the kids want to hear. And he never (unless asked) offers suggestions for ‘Those Scenes.’ (And yes, I’m talking about the steamy scenes. I write romance and have a pretty good idea where your mind went when you read the title for this article:)
However, with this new series, he took an interest in the bar setting. He loves mixing up cocktails. Now Big Buck’s Bar, the fictional setting for the Second Shot series, caters to Oregon loggers and college students. It’s know for it’s beer thanks to Josie, the heroine from Serving Trouble (Second Shot #1). I’ll be the first to admit I love a good craft beer or a glass of wine, but I don’t drink cocktails. Mr. Stone knows this and volunteered to help with the fictional drink menu. After all the college and grad students who frequent the bar love a good Bloody Mary on Sundays. And Dominic, the hero of Stirring Attraction (Second Shot #2), enjoys a good martini.
If you’re looking to mix up a drink after reading the series, Mr. Stone suggests:
The Portland Proper
Ingredients:
2 oz rye
½ oz sweet vermouth
¼ oz lemon juice
3 dashes orange bitters
(2) 1” wide lemon peel slices
Directions:
Pour rye, vermouth, lemon juice, and bitters into a cocktail
shaker.
Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds.
Pour over extra large ice sphere in chilled Mason jar.
Squeeze lemon peels over drink to mist with citrus oil then drop in.
The Monmouth Mary (for four)
Ingredients:
12 oz vodka
24 oz V8 (low sodium)
4 oz lemon juice
12 dashes orange bitters
12 dashes Tabasco sauce
3 drops pine essence oil
(8) 1” wide lemon peel slices (2 per serving)
4 small fir sprigs
Directions:
Pour vodka, lemon juice, bitters, Tabasco sauce, and pine oil into a large cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously for 12-15 seconds.
Pour over ice in chilled mason jars.
Add V8 juice.
Squeeze lemon peels over drink to mist with citrus oil then drop in.
Garnish with a fir sprig.
The Beer Pie Smash
Ingredients:
4 oz Oregon Beer
1 oz Appleton Estate Reserve Rum
½ oz simple syrup
¾ oz lemon juice
3 dashes orange bitters
½ cup crushed ice
(2) ¼” orange slices
Directions:
Pour rum, syrup, lemon juice, and bitters into a cocktail shaker.
Shake vigorously for 8-10 seconds.
Mash orange slices in chilled Mason jar.
Add crushed ice.
Pour drink over crushed ice in chilled Mason jar.
Top with beer and stir lightly.

The official announcement from my fabulous agent Jill Marsal:
Sara Jane Stone’s FULL EXPOSURE, about a young woman who returns home from serving her country and takes a job as a nanny working for her brother’s best friend who also happens to be her long-time crush to Amanda Bergeron, at Avon Impulse, in a two-book deal.
Last was the best week in my writing career thus far. It began with my debut novel, COMMAND PERFORMANCE, releasing in e-book (it is now available in print, e-book, and audio!). Readers started posting reviews on Amazon, B&N.com and Goodreads. And over at Amazon, COMMAND PERFORMANCE climbed the Blaze and Military bestseller lists.
On Thursday, I was excited to see the sales figures for the first full week of the print edition. (As a former sales rep, I LOVE sales figures.) After checking the numbers, I logged into my RWA Bookscan account. I scanned the Top 100 Romance titles sold (in print) and found my debut novel. Wow. Thanks to the enthusiastic response from readers, my first book was one of the Top 100!! That afternoon my editor contacted me to set up a call to discuss future books. I set up a call for the next day during my daughter’s naptime when my son would be in preschool.
Friday afternoon rolls around and Annabelle decides to wake up before the call starts. I had taken her to my husband’s office as a backup plan, hoping he could watch her for a few minutes, but he too had a call. So I let her roam the conference room while I chatted about my proposed second and third books for Harlequin. My editor had lots of great ideas, which I quickly wrote down. Out of the corner of my eye, I noticed Annabelle dumping the leftover quinoa from lunch on the conference room carpet. I stayed focused on the call. Minutes later, she managed to pour water from her “spill-proof” sippy cup over herself and one of the office chairs. By the time the call ended, the conference room might as well have a huge flashing light over the table: “Toddler was here.” But it was worth it. I had a good feeling about the call with my editor.
An hour later, after I’d picked up my 3-year old and returned home with two grumpy, tired kids, I spoke with my agent. My editor had made an offer! Woo-hoo!!
My next Harlequin Blaze, currently titled COMMAND CONTROL, is scheduled to release in August 2014. This will be my second installment in the Uniformly Hot! miniseries and the follow up to COMMAND PERFORMANCE. And my third, currently untitled Uniformly Hot! book, will release in the fall of 2014. More details on these books coming soon. What a way to end an amazing week!
