The author has provided us with a delicious looking recipe, as well. I'll be trying this one out soon. Thanks for dropping in, L.C.
Hi, Lindsay. Happy Fall and thanks for letting me drop by
today.
I sat down at my computer fully intending to write something
for your readers about motorcycles, tattoos, or the Sturgis Motorcycle Rally as
a nod to Beautiful Ink and the Sturgis Rally Riders. http://www.decadentpublishing.com/index.php?cPath=75_203&osCsid=hagkbf7hfo6ajton6hvsnbe161
But fall is distracting me. Outside my balcony open balcony a giant maple has
turned to red gold and the air smells of autumn. Any moment, winter will hit
and the North will be subject to the whims of Mother Nature. So I decided to
share a favorite recipe that friends and family demand from late September
through Thanksgiving. It is sexy and sweet, spicy and creamy, and all around
delicious like a short erotic tease from Decadent Publishing’s EDGE.
Pecan Pumpkin Cheesecake
Preheat oven to 325°
Crust
1 c graham cracker crumbs
½ c finely chopped pecans
1/4 c sugar
1/4 c unsalted butter, melted
Mix and press into the bottom and slightly up the sides of a
9” springform pan
Filling
3 (8 ounce) packages cream cheese, softened
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
1 (15 ounce) can pumpkin
3 large eggs
1/4 cup pure maple syrup
1 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
¼ tsp ground ginger
¼ tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 teaspoon salt
Beat cream cheese until smooth. Gradually add sweetened
condensed milk until incorporated. Add pumpkin, maple syrup, spices and salt;
mix well. Add eggs one at a time beating until just mixed. Pour into prepared
pan. Place rack in center of moist oven (place a cake pan filled with hot water
on lower rack during baking) Bake 1 hour and 15 minutes or until center appears
nearly set when shaken (another 5 to 15 minutes). Do Not Bake until fully set.
Cool on counter. Cover and chill 3 hours or overnight.
Maple Pecan Glaze:
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3/4 cup pure maple syrup
3/4 cup roughly chopped pecans
Combine whipping cream and pure maple syrup in saucepan;
bring to a boil. Boil rapidly 15 to 20 minutes or until slightly thickened;
stir occasionally. Stir in chopped pecans. Cover and chill until served. Stir
before serving – may need to microwave slightly if too thick.
Blurb:
Too many days of living on
soda and energy drinks have left Ink Monroe too keyed up to sleep. She needs a
good ride to release her sexual tension so she can get some rest, but when the
perfect hottie turns her down flat, she’s too pissed to keep looking.
Hooking up with a stranger is
not Jet Ryan’s style, but when he rescues the beautiful tattoo artist from the
groping hands of a drunk, his personal boundaries fall to a desire to make her
scream. He just needs to get past her anger, prove he’s not a serial killer,
and show her what letting go is all about.
Review:
Beautiful Ink is a well crafted story featuring two Alpha characters, both of whom I immediately liked.
Jet the rancher is out for a night on the town with his buddies during the Sturgis Rally, but he's ready to pack it in for the night. When Ink Monroe approaches, he second guesses himself. She's a fiery little thing, and when they meet in the bedroom the sparks fly, and fly far.
I found this to be an enjoyable, quick read. Just long enough to make you wonder what happens next, and short enough to devour over a lunch break. Definitely recommended.
Excerpt:
“You okay?”
She rolled her big
eyes and righted her clothing while he mentally stripped her naked. “I could
have handled him.”
“I’m sure you could
have.” With a snort at the ludicrous statement and his own less-than-courteous
response to her, he moved on but turned back. “You might want to head to
Junction or Lazelle. It’s safer in the center of the action, even if you can
take care of yourself.”
She flew him the
bird and bent from the waist to straighten her fuck-me boots. “When I need your
help, I’ll ask for it.”
His cock rose to
full attention at the sight of her rounded ass peeking from beneath the short
leather skirt. Was she stupid or just stubborn? He stormed back and grabbed the
girl’s arm, pulling her down the street toward the bright lights. “If you want to
get fucked, that’s one thing, but if you stay out here, dressed like a two-bit
whore, you’re gonna get more than you bargained for. I’m not going to be
responsible for you getting raped.”
Slapping at his arm,
she tried to twist away. “Unless you’re doing the raping, I can’t see how it’s
your business.”
He spun around and
caught her wrist, jerking her against his chest. “You made it my business when
you offered yourself in front of a balcony full of drunken men too far from
their own realities to give a shit about right and wrong.”
She stilled as
though his words had finally sunk in. Her eyes shone in the dim light.
“Are you crying?” He
brought a hand up to cup her cheek.
“Hell no!” She
tugged against his hold. “Let go of me!”
Jet moved away,
hands spread wide. “You got it, honey. Have a good night.”
Before he could
leave, he heard a sharp intake of air. “Answer a question for me first.”
He waited, uncertain
what she wanted.
She wobbled, a bit
unsteady on the high boots. “Why not?”
It was such a simple
question. His cock wanted an answer; still he played dumb. “Why not what?”

“Amazingly sensual story by LC Dean. She pulls you
right into what is happening between Jet and Ink. Ms. Dean's words
are descriptively stunning and take you right there with Ink &
Jet, showing what they both need to overcome to make it as lovers. It's a must
read quickie novella & I give it 5 stars!”--Vicki Rose, Bitten

“I will keep this review short and sweet. Beautiful
Ink was both hilarious and hot at the same time. I loved the heroine's sassy
mouth and the hero's take control attitude. I have to say I read this during
lunch at work and needed a soda to cool off but wished I had a bullet on me to
slake the itch this read left me with.”--Mahalia Levey, Amazon
