Valentine's Day Gift Hop with Cari

Welcome to the Valentine's Day Gift Hop

I hope you're planning a wonderful romantic day with a loved one. I sure am. A day at a resort nearby, lazing around the pool and in bed sounds good to me.
Romance and love doesn't have to involve anything fancy or materialistic, it can be as simple as your partner saying sweet things to you and gifting you with a kiss and a single flower, or a few hours when you can enjoy being together.

Leave a comment below, as well as an email address, AND ALSO USE THE RAFFLECOPTER and tell me about either your best ever Valentine's Day or the one you dream of having. You'll be in the running for both the grand prize shown below,

and also my own prize of one of 2  ARCs of Precious Sacrifice, my first book in a new scifi capture fantasy series called Preyfinders which comes out in an anthology called Kept on March 5th.

GRAND PRIZE: A Kindle Paperwhite and digital new adult romance basket!
Every comment on every blog in the hop will count as an entry toward the grand prizes.

If you want to have the best chance of winning, keep on hopping,
using the Linky list below.


Precious Sacrifice
Jadd is an Igrakk Warrior, honed like the sharpest blade, to kill and to command his men, but his conscience gets in the way. When punishment entails becoming a Preyfinder and trialling the Pet-creating drug on a human called Brittany, he plans to stay calm and do his duty. Until he falls in love.

As a preyfinder he's trained to withstand hardship and pain, but Jadd would rather kneel before a firestorm than leave his captive, Brittany, to be stalked and killed. The choice between love and loyalty to his soldier brothers may tear him in two.

From Precious Sacrifice in Kept, the erotic anthology
Explicit EXCERPT from Precious Sacrifice
He walked into view at the other end of the row of parked cars, blocking out the taxi waiting for her with its engine idling, and he turned and headed toward her. Long dark coat. Mean look in his eyes...or where his eyes would be. His face was shrouded in darkness. He just looked bad.

Brittany’s throat closed in. Breathing, who needed it?

Big man, as in fucking huge, and with a totally deliberate way of moving. Every step was calculated. Like a lone stranger walking into a lowlife Wild West town, about to rescue the folks from the two-gun killer kid. She could hear the theme song from The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly playing.

All he was missing was a Stetson and a pair of six guns.

Headlights from a passing car flickered over him. His face...oh god. He definitely needed a hat to pull over that. Were those parallel scars running across his cheeks? Or tattoos made up to look like American Indian war paint? Whatever. They were red and scary. Only he surpassed scary by a mile. She took a half-step back, surprised the man wasn’t snorting steam out his nostrils.

But he smelled good. From yards away. Was that even possible? Mm-Mmm. It took all her determination not to squeal, run down the aisle between the parked cars, and jump his bones then and there. Loose stones on the concrete cracked under his boots. A breeze blew the front of his coat wide. She caught a glimpse of a wide, well-built torso that stretched his pants and shirt with a real man’s body.

Shit. Was that metal glinting there? Holsters? No. Couldn’t be. Unless he was a cop?

Fear reared its head. He wouldn’t be looking for her. Get the fuck outta his way.

Jarred into self-preservation mode, Brittany cleared her throat and squeezed back against the bus she was walking beside to allow him to shimmy past. Not that a man like this would ever shimmy. He’d saunter or stalk but never ever shimmy.

What would it be like to be underneath him being...

Shut up. She took a deep breath and held it when he seemed about to pass her.

Don’t faint. Unladylike.

Then he grabbed her under her shoulders, lifted her a few inches, and slammed her flat against the bus with enough force to frighten her but not hurt. Startled, she sucked in air.

His scent swept her awareness of danger far, far away and replaced it with pure unadulterated LUST.

Her pussy flooded instantly. She shut her eyes. Not Niagara Falls wet, just enough to make slippery every part of her down there, enough that a man could slide his cock right in without a second’s hesitation. That. Wet.

She inched open her eyes and found him staring down at her. Brutal and callous was her instantaneous impression.

As I don't currently have a replacement for my soul mate I would have to say that my best Valentine's Day was when my man ordered a display (note - display, not bouquet) of flowers - every one chosen by him - to be delivered to my work at 9am with the instructions that the receptionist was not to call me until the 10.30 morning break - all morning everyone in the office was drooling over them, wondering who the lucky recipient was - - taking them home was hilarious - they took up the entire back seat of the Commodore - door to door - seat to roof...all I can say is 'What A Man!

My husband surprised me with a romantic boat ride around the harbor where we live. He had wine, cheese, crackers, etc. It was great! If we're talking fantasy best...my husband would treat me like Klaus and we would see how far we could go! Email: [email protected]

My best Valentine's would be with someone I truly care for and to have the one day of seclusion to do whatever we want to do without interruption. Hopefully it would involve lots of toys, floggers, handcuffs and anything else we could find to play with! :)

My favorite Valentine's Day was not romantic at all. My honey and I usually do not buy gifts for one another but do exchange cards. Valentine's Day arrived and we each handed the other the cards we had selected. I opened mine. He opened his. We looked at each other and busted out laughing. We had bought each other the same card. You gotta love someone you can laugh with. I know I do!

We don't really celebrate Valentines. We've been married 33 years, it's the little ways that my husband shows my daily that he loves me that still win my heart, candy or cookies that I like, holding the door, just holding me, those are my favorite memories.

Today my son says he loves me so much and wants to get me something for Valentines and my younger daughter says she's going to get me something too, lots of hugs and kisses :)
What more can I ask for.
I'd like to spend a nice day with my hubby and kids where we all get along(no fighting kids) and make a nice meal with my kids.

I don't usually cook so that would actually be special :)

My best Valentine's day ever, my hubby and I, stayed secluded in the mountains at a cabin. It was snowing outside. We had all the curtains open, to look out at the snow and we had the fireplace on. We cooked dinner and had some wine, and just enjoyed each other.

My best Valentines Day was the first one I spent with my now husband. He took me to a restaurant where the waiters sang, I tried new food, and my baby brother slipped me a condom before I left the house. Several years later, our wedding reception was held at the same restaurant.

My best Valentine's Day is when my husband stays in bed with me with junk food and we marathon a tv series we both like. I think he hit the jackpot with me as I am pretty easy to please :) Also he goes and gets me fast food:)

My best Valentine's Day was when my husband was out of the country and my Mom took my daughter out and dressed her all in hearts. She put her in a basket with flowers, teddy bears, and candy with a card saying 'Mommy, be my Valentine?' It was soooo sweet!
