My Thoughts
All of these stories are scorching hot with a whole lot of heart to boot. I absolutely LOVED Lexxie's story of Jess and Des. You could feel the sizzling hot chemistry from the moment he first stood in front of her. The investigating on site almost seemed like foreplay. Once Jess submitted...holy hotness! Talk about needing a fire hose to cool off. It was the same when I read Lissa's story of two brothers who fall hard for a woman they both have a crush on. Josh and Jay are delicious.
I give Five Alarm Alphas 5 hearts!

Q & A with Lexxie Couper
Was it easier to write your story
knowing about the concept beforehand or was this a story you had already
thought about writing?
I’ve got a thing
for firefighters (I’ve written four
of them so far, five if you count Desmond, the hero of Combustible) and my
father is a retired firefighter (no, I don’t have Daddy issues, I promise) so it’s a world I know quite well.
What inspired you to write about these
particular characters? What was the deciding factor in choosing their story for
this Anthology?
I wish I could remember the exact moment the hero, Desmond,
smacked me in the face and told me I was writing his story. Desmond was a minor
(but pivotal) character in Muscle for Hire, Heart of Fame Book Two, and I
always knew—even while
writing that book—that he was going
to come along one day and demand more of my time. I must admit, I was taken by
surprise by his sexual domination side. And as for the heroine…well, Jess was one of those characters that just
leapt from the page and took no prisoners. But boy, do the pair of them spark
off each other (spark? Get it? Hee hee hee)
What’s your favorite line from your story?
Hmmm….this is a tricky one, but I think I’m going to go with this line: By the
time the chopper had landed, she was one “burn pattern indicates” away from a
freaking orgasm.
Give us the inside scoop on another
author in the anthology.
Oh oh oh! Ready? Lissa Mathews is a sucker for punishment…err….I mean, a goddess who deserves all the Tim Tams
in the world. She offered to take on the job of being in charge of the
financial side of this International affair despite it being a logistical
nightmare of epic international tax rules.
Would you consider doing this type of
collaboration again?
This is my second
(the first was the Down and Dirty box set with Sami Lee, Jess Dee and Rhian
Cahill). Both have been awesome experiences so yes, I'd love to do it again
with the right people :) The question is, could those people put up with me?
What’s up next for you?
Writing wise, way too many different manuscripts to list here, but
amongst them is the third book of the Outback Skies series (the first book in
the series releases January next year) and a super special secret I can't
really talk a lit at the moment but it involves a sexy Aussie bodyguard and a
reclusive horror writer from his past...
About Lexxie Couper
Lexxie Couper started writing when she
was six and hasn’t stopped since. She’s not a deviant, but she does have a
deviant’s imagination and a desire to entertain readers with her words. Add the
two together and you get erotic romances that can make you laugh, cry, shake
with fear or tremble with desire. Sometimes all at once.
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, 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.
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.
