After another lonely Friday night, Monica challenges her friends to each find a younger man to make their fantasies come true. She doesn’t have to marry him—been there, done that, threw away the t-shirt. But for a night of hot sex? Hell yes. But Sam Lincoln refuses to be just a fantasy. He’s a graduate student with a yen for older women and he may have just found the one to make his own fantasies come true.

Her friends on the Tempt the Cougar blog remind Edie of her promise - to seduce a younger man. It’s time for Edie to take action ... Dr. John Sung takes one look at Edie and knows he can’t operate on her. He signs off as her doctor and makes her a bet - if he can make her love her body as it is, she won’t have any surgery. John’s bet involves close examinations—and torrid, sleepless nights. Their passion is far more than either expects, and John begins to wonder if he’ll ever get enough of this woman. Edie just counts her blessings and hopes their age difference won’t drive John away.

Thirty-year-old engineer Kevin Springer loves solving puzzles and "Elle" has him aching to fit the pieces. The more he gets to know her, the more intrigued he becomes, especially in bed.

Hot to Trot

She excited tells her friends on the Tempt the Cougar blog - from where a challenge had been issued for members to seek out a younger lover! Past forty, she’d pretty much written excitement out of her life. But then she discovers the ranch comes with a foreman who makes her pulse pound and could give her an orgasm just by looking at her. As if that isn’t enough, he has a friend equally as mouthwatering - and the two of them take Autumn on an erotic trip that outdoes any fantasy she could ever have imagined. If sex with one hot boy toy is fantastic, sex with two at the same time is a whole new level of amazing. But what happens when Autumn inevitably has to come down from the orgasmic high?

Assume the Positions

2009

Mari Carr's "Assume the Positions" is Book five of the multi-author, Cougar Challenge series. Damn Cougar Challenge ...

How is Rachel going to convince a younger man to have sex with her? Hell, even she doesn't want to look at herself naked. To control her growing angst, she makes a list of eligible men then ... Nothing. It's been too long - and her divorce was too painful. She'll never be able to do this. Ethan, one of Rachel's physical therapy patients, is pissed when he learns of the challenge. Not because he finds it silly - because he's not on Rachel's list! So he does what any self-assured young stud would do. The luscious police officer gives her a copy of the Kama Sutra then asks her to make a new list. And assume the positions ...

Sin on Skin

2009

But as the women share their experiences with younger guys on their Tempt the Cougar blog, Stevie discovers she's the least wild of the bunch. Finding a younger man isn't the problem; after a lifetime of unfulfilled desires, Stevie needs a younger alpha man. In the meantime, getting a tattoo is an easy, safe way to begin ramping up her wild side. Tattoo artist Errol knows instantly what Stevie needs, and it's not just a bit of ink. He's hot, young - and he's just invited Stevie to his private BDSM club. Before you can say "green light," Stevie is experiencing things she'd only read in her favourite erotic novels. Sinful toys, spanking benches and voyeurism are just some of the stops on what will become the wildest ride of her life. Reader Advisory: This hot little number contains a scorching scene in which the heroine becomes a plaything for others-three others, in fact-including one very demanding Domme.

Cam's Holiday

A personal trainer, he makes it clear he'd love to ring Cam's bell. And ring it he does. Repeatedly. Cam's found sexual nirvana.

She expects barren plains and rattlesnakes but finds hunky Jackson Blue drilling for oil on her property instead. A driller ... Hmm ... Lori has a few ideas about that, and just about all of them involve her poor, needy, sex-starved body. Jackson takes one look at the curvy, sexy, older woman and puts his expertise into action. After all, drilling is what he does best. Against the wall, on the floor or in the middle of her bed, he’s the right man for the job.

After spotting Lynn’s decadent ménage novel, he decides to take her for the ride of a lifetime—with his navigator Mark. Storm delays would be far more upsetting if Lynn’s young stud wasn’t offering a first-class ticket to indulge her fantasy.

Dalton Diaz

Author · 4 books

Hmm. I have no idea why people want to know what makes me… me, but here it goes: My favorite hobby is reading, and I am a complete romance snob. If a story doesn’t have romance, it isn’t worth it. If there’s hot sex, all the better. Let’s face it, fantasy is usually a lot more fun than reality. Not always, but usually. As a writer, one can be anything, do anything, say anything that comes to mind. There are a thousand and one ways to make things happen, each one more exciting than the last. Since I have a very active imagination, this is the best job in the world. Dalton

I was born in Leicester, England, and lived in our cobbler’s shop with my parents and sister. It was an old house and most definitely haunted, but I didn’t find out until I left that my great uncle had hung himself in the living room! But I think our ghost might have been older than that. It was built on the site of the old Roman cemetery, and the land had been constantly inhabited, being in the centre of town. Then, when the council bought the house from us to build a road, my grandfather retired and my father went and worked for the Post Office. My mother was a sample machinist; that is, she worked with designers on the prototypes (models or samples) of garments. So I was very well dressed! We bought a relatively modern house in the country, and my mother was blissfully happy. It’s all very well living in a large old house, but it’s a dreadful task to keep it clean and warm! My mother's side of the family are Romany gypsies, although sadly we haven't any of the old trailers that are so astonishingly beautiful. I was taught to read the Tarot cards, and I usually use two packs; the Rider pack for simple readings and the Crowley Thoth pack for the complex stuff. I've always had an interest in the paranormal and it's been a delight to be able to put some of this into my novels.

Cris Anson

Author · 7 books

I write erotic romance because I firmly believe that life doesn't stop at the bedroom door. I had a deeply romantic relationship with my husband of 22 years, and I want to celebrate his memory in my writing. After he died, it took me a long time to come out of my grief, but parts of him—his honor, courage, optimism, tenacity, and lust for life—live on in all my heroes. They’re all alpha men, as well. And I write erotic romance because I feel you're never too old to give or receive love. Many of my stories have older heroines who dazzle younger men, and I wouldn't mind being such a heroine in real life. But that's another story... I'm a member of Romance Writers of America, Liberty States Fiction Writers, and EPIC - the Electronic Publishing Industry Coalition. I’ve written for Ellora’s Cave since signing my first contract in 2004. I love gardening, and grow peonies (my friend calls them the “floozies” of the flower world), dahlias and other showy flowers. I play the piano occasionally, listen to classical music almost all the time, and sometimes dance to music only I can hear. And I read, read, read. I hope you do, too.

Lexxie Couper

Author · 68 books

Lexxie’s not a deviant. She just has a deviant’s imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the two together and you get darkly erotic romances with a twist of horror, sci-fi and the paranormal. When she’s not submerged in the worlds she creates, Lexxie’s life revolves around her family, a husband who thinks she’s insane, a indoor cat who likes to stalk shadows, two yabbies hell-bent on destroying their tank and her daughters, who both utterly captured her heart and changed her life forever. Having no idea how old she really is, Lexxie decided to go with 27 and has been that age for quite some time now. It's the best of both worlds - old enough to act mature, young enough to be silly. And silly she can be. Just ask her husband who frequently has to endure her bursting into song whenever the mood strikes her, feeling him up in public (one of her favorite pastimes), or rolling around in the sand with their dog - a large mutt of dubious origins who causes almost as much havoc around the neighborhood as Lexxie herself. Or squealing her way down the slide at the local park with her daughter! Lexxie lives by two simple rules - measure your success not by how much money you have, but by how often you laugh, and always try everything at least once. As a consequence, she's laughed her way through many an eyebrow raising adventure.
