Book of the Week

Last Glass of Wine by Bekki Lynn was reviewed by Long and Short Reviews' erotic side, Whipped Cream. The review for Last Glass of Wine was posted September 30 and to add to an authors experience, all of the reviews done for the week are entered into a poll the weekend following. The winner of this poll is featured on the review page the following week. Isn't that cool?

Thanks to all the readers, my family and friends, and my co-authors who voted for Last Glass of Wine.

The Review: Lana Moore, a server at Rogan's Steakhouse and approaching thirty, finds her obsession with her boss a distraction and senses he wants her to quit. But then, he loses control and she's left confused, needy. It increased the fire, so when she learns he's no longer her boss, she demands he finishes what he started. Until she learns the truth.

Cole, Rogan's young assistant manager, wants Lana. But when he loses control and nearly takes her right there in the restaurant, he knew he risked both of their jobs. Before things can be righted, he receives bad news from home. He has to leave Lana before anything happens between them. Then things balloon between them and he can't keep his hands off, nor can she until she learns only part of the truth of his leaving.

♥ ♥ ♥

What an amazing story. I felt like I was on a roller coaster with my emotions. First I hated Cole, then I loved Cole, then I could feel the steam coming off Cole. This is a story that takes you to the highs and some very low points. I had tears in my eyes during some scenes in this story.

It takes place in a restaurant that has a no fraternization rule. Cole knows this and tries hard to follow it. Lana knows this and thinks she is too old for Cole. I laughed when she said she fell in love with him when he sang “Total Eclipse Of The Heart”. I could picture Cole sliding in to the restaurant and singing. The back and forth dialog and unspoken body language between them kept me on edge through the story.

The descriptions that Ms. Lynn provides makes me feel as if I am experiencing the episodes. When Cole drinks from the same spot on the glass that Lana did and than licks the rim, I could feel it on my lips. When we get into the scene in the bar after hours, Oh My. Ms Lynn knows not only restaurants, as proven by her slang, descriptions of openings and closings, and serving but I really enjoyed how she threw in the Chicago Cubs. Being from the Windy City, I loved how she referred to the team and the players.

Last Glass Of Wine is a rich story, full of robust scenes and good to the last glass.

Dark Diva Reviews...

gave Last Glass of Wine a 4.5 ---

"Bekki Lynn writes a sexy story of love in the workplace. I found myself sympathizing
and disagreeing with Lana but, all turns out in the end. "

Healing Portion

When I first inhaled the wonderful scent of the Jewel of the Sun candle, my first reaction was this had to be made into a men's body wash. It's clean woodsy and spice scent is a real turn-on.

I mentioned it to Jfay who designs my fabulous candles, and she's heard it so many times. So, she took the plunge and turned a few signature scents into perfumes. I'm so honored to have mine as part of the collection.

It's the only man's fragrance. And, it's available just in time for Father's Day! Simply click on the photo to purchase.

Last Glass of Wine Candle

Jfay came through for me in the most amazing way. The favorite wine of Last Glass of Wine is Pinot Noir. I really love this wine because it's both lighter and sweeter than other red wines. However, she didn't have this scent on her list. She had white wines and champagne. I was willing to settle, but she came back with yet another new scent not on the list. Merlot.

I was so excited and at the same time, hesitant about the strength of the scent and if it would become tiresome. I threw caution to the wind.

The merlot scented candle sits in my living room and my concerns were unfounded. The scent permeates the air occasionally, catching you off guard. It's very pleasing. And there's not been one complaint about the alcoholic scent.

While the drip design isn't what you'd see in Rogan's Steakhouse, it's very fitting to Le Man's Pizza and Pasta, an Italian restaurant important to Cole and Lana. You'll have to read the story to find out why.

Please look around Studio3b and see all the fabulous designs and authors Jfay works with.

Erotic Passions Candle

Jfay does amazing work. When I asked her to design a candle for A Psychic Hitch and suggested a couple of scents, she came back with one scent that she'd just received a sample of. When she told me of the Spicy Cherry with a hint of cinnamon and cloves, I melted and my breath hitched. You see, most candle scents play havoc with my allergies. I said yes anyway.

The scent along with her design had to be amazing. She suggested flowers for the photo and I asked for the Stargazer Lily as it's used in the story.

OMG!

You would not believe how fabulous the candle scent is. It's an aphrodisiac without being lit. I have it in my bedroom and at different times it smells like the Tootsie Pop Cherry lollipops and other times you get the cinnamon and cloves.

It's totally amazing and I've found no one who doesn't love the scent. And no allergy issues.

I highly reccomend Studio3b for your companion candles.
