..The following bit about Valentine's Day I've posted before once upon a time, but I found it so interesting that I wanted to reshare. :)
......I did some poking around on the net to find out about the history of Valentine's Day and stumbled across this interesting tidbit at History.com: "Origins of Valentine's Day: A Pagan Festival in February ~ While some believe that Valentine's Day is celebrated in the middle of February to commemorate the anniversary of Valentine's death or burial--which probably occurred around A.D. 270--others claim that the Christian church may have decided to place St. Valentine's feast day in the middle of February in an effort to "Christianize" the pagan celebration of Lupercalia. Celebrated at the ides of February, or February 15, Lupercalia was a fertility festival dedicated to Faunus, the Roman god of agriculture, as well as to the Roman founders Romulus and Remus.
......"To begin the festival, members of the Luperci, an order of Roman priests, would gather at a sacred cave where the infants Romulus and Remus, the founders of Rome, were believed to have been cared for by a she-wolf or lupa. The priests would sacrifice a goat, for fertility, and a dog, for purification. They would then strip the goat's hide into strips, dip them into the sacrificial blood and take to the streets, gently slapping both women and crop fields with the goat hide. Far from being fearful, Roman women welcomed the touch of the hides because it was believed to make them more fertile in the coming year. Later in the day, according to legend, all the young women in the city would place their names in a big urn. The city's bachelors would each choose a name and become paired for the year with his chosen woman. These matches often ended in marriage."
..Whether or not you're into the holiday, you have to admit that information is intriguing, right? Perhaps it's a good thing that the holiday has been modified. Could you imagine the commercials for something like that? Go to your corner store and buy your goat today! With coupon you'll receive a free bowl!
..So, what do you think about what's above? How do you feel about this holiday? Love it? Like it? Hate it? Don't care one way or the other? Answer one or as many of those questions you want in the comment section (be sure to leave your name and email too) and you'll be entered for the grand prizes and my prize as well! Want some extra entries? Feel free to follow me at one or more of these locations (each follow earns you an extra entry for the $10 Amazon GC):

A Look At Olivia Starke, 'Familiar Desires' & the 1NS Celebration ( #1NS #birthday @ @decadentpub #books )

..Today we have author Olivia Starke visiting. Welcome!

..What would you like to tell readers about yourself?
......* Well I’m a big geek who is in love with the Doctor, the Winchesters, and I’m a Cumberbitch. Yup, the last one is an actual thing ;) I’m a full time author and dog/cat/horse mom, and I’m an expert procrastinator.

..What book are you going to tell us about today? Is it part of a series? If so, what's the order the books should be read in?
......* I figured I’d showcase my very first 1Night Stand story Familiar Desires (1 Night Stand, #11).

..How'd you/your muse come up with this story?
......* I’m not sure, it just popped into my head, like all of my stuff. I wish my muse was more exciting, sorry folks!

..Describe the hero in five words.
......* Not what you may expect.

..Describe the heroine in five words.
......* Just an ordinary everyday woman.

..Who's your favorite character in the book & why?
......* Justin! Who doesn’t want a sexy hero to stir up some passion?

..What's your favorite line in the story?
......* It’s in the excerpt – “Skydiving? Can’t say I’d have the guts to try that, though I’d love the chance to kiss a pretty girl in an elevator.” – Justin showing off some Kentucky-born charm here ;)

..A look into the story

..
~ Blurb ~ ......* Ashley Adams signed up with the 1NightStand service in hopes of stirring up some cougar passion in her lackluster life. When she meets tall, dark, and oh-so-sexy Justin, the sparks fly. But something deeper lies in their magical connection, something she isn’t prepared for. Will a casual one-night stand change her life forever? ..
~ Excerpt ~ ......* “You’re more beautiful than your picture.” He reached past her shoulder and hit the emergency stop. Her breath caught in her throat when the elevator jolted to a halt.
......* “What are you doing?” She darted a glance up at the security camera.
......* The way his mouth curved at the corners made her knees knock. “Your profile said you liked to be adventurous.” The tip of his tongue stroked over his bottom lip as he watched her through heavy-lidded eyes.
......* “I—I meant trekking through the wilds of Africa, sky diving, that sort of thing.” Her heart beat so loudly, surely he had to hear it. He stepped forward—his finger traced her jaw line before he tipped her chin up. She swallowed.
......* “Skydiving? Can’t say I’d have the guts to try that, though I’d love the chance to kiss a pretty girl in an elevator.”
......* A corny come-on line if she’d ever heard one, but spoken with a whiskey-smooth Kentucky drawl—damn, it works for me. That’s what she’d come for, to have an unforgettable night with a hot hunk to stir up her humdrum life. After all, she’d dished out the funds for the flight, half the price of the hotel room, and the 1NightStand fee.
......* He moved in close, and a wonderful, heady mix of musk and spice filled her nose. Her insides somersaulted in anticipation, wicked intent written all over his perfectly chiseled face. They could be kicked out of the hotel, or worse—arrested and appear on one of those dumbest criminals shows. The elevator wall pressed into her back, but when he leaned forward and touched his lips to hers, all the reasons they shouldn’t be doing this in the elevator evaporated.

A Look At Julia from 'The Virgin and the Playboy' & 1NS Celebration! ( #1NS #birthday @decadentpub @katerichards09 #books )

..Today we have Julia visiting from the story The Virgin and the Playboy, 1Night Stand #3. Welcome!

..Julia, what would you like to tell readers about yourself?
......* I met Mark through the auspices of the amazing Madame Eve. I’d never been with a man before, not intimately, and I was beginning to think I never would. Seems like there’s a window, you know? Maybe eighteen to twenty-three?
......* Oh I’m sorry…how old did you say you are? And have you…? Oh, whew! I didn’t want to hurt your feelings if you hadn’t done the deed as they say.

..Does your author ever try to take over the story? And how do you deal with it?
......* Oh, she’s trouble that one! She often tries to lay out pages and pages of instructions, a syn…something, and we’re supposed to live our lives according to those directions. Really? Would you do that?

..If you were taken out of the story and placed into your author’s world, what would be the first thing you’d do?
......* Well, would I have Mark with me? I’d miss him otherwise. And I don’t suppose she’d share her man, she seems pretty attached. Actually, I’d love to go with her to a convention, sign my own books.

..If you could pull your author into your world, what do you think would happen to them?
......* I would insist she go on a 1Night Stand date, assuming her husband stays in the original world. I think Madame would show her a good time. It doesn’t count as cheating in fiction, does it? I don’t know if Kate would buy that….but it’s a good fantasy.

..What was the best sexual experience you’ve had?
......* My very first night with Mark, of course. I’m not sorry at all I waited, he was worth the wait.

..Where do you see yourself in the future? What do you hope to accomplish?
......* We plan to start our family soon, and travel, see the world. Mark’s brother is a pilot and he and his 1Night Stand date are our favorite couple to double date with. We always have a great time!

..Now for some author information!
......* My author is Kate Richards. Kate Richards divides her time between Los Angeles and the High Sierras. She would gladly spend all her days in the mountains, but she’d miss the beach…and her very supportive husband’s commute would be three hundred miles. Wherever she is, she loves to explore all different kinds of relationships in her stories. She doesn’t believe one-size-fits-all, and whether her characters live BDSM, ménage, GLBT or any other kind of lifestyle, it’s the love, the joy with one another, that counts.

..Now for some book information!
..A look into the story

..
~ Blurb ~ ......* Julie, accidental virgin, has waited longer than she ever planned to lose her virginity and join everyone else she knows in dating reality. Embarrassed at her plight, she has made arrangements with 1NightStand.com to meet with a handsome stranger for one night of no commitment required sexuality, without having to admit she'd never made love before.
......* Mark is the one single guy left in his group of friends. As such, he is known for the bevy of lovelies he dates, and his stories of wild exploits between the sheets. His participation in 1NightStand.com is on a dare, and he has no idea that his date is...less experienced than he is used to. And so much more...
......* When they enter the penthouse suite in Las Vegas, they enter a chamber designed for luxury and booked for a 1NightStand. ..
~ Excerpt ~ ......* Mark was surprised to hear a knock at the door. His one-night-stand should have her own key, so he opened the door expecting to see housekeeping, or maybe room service with the drinks he had ordered. Instead, he faced a very petite, very determined looking young woman with a hand raised as if to knock again. He took in her alluring, feminine figure, wavy brown hair around a pink-cheeked face, and wide blue eyes gazing curiously back at him.
......* “I take it you’re not housekeeping, then?”
......* A pucker formed between her straight brows. “No, did you want me to be?” She jutted her chin toward him and dropped the hand that still hung in midair.
......* “Absolutely not,” he said, looking up and down the hallway. “I had asked for some extra towels…” He trailed off, and a moment of silence stretched out while they looked at each other. When she didn’t say anything, he smiled and said, “I’m Mark and you’re?”
......* “Julia.” She spoke so quietly he had to lean in to hear her.
......* She certainly didn’t act like someone who was brazen enough to book a one-night-stand with a stranger. “Just to be sure—Madame Evangeline sent you?”
......* She looked up and met his eyes. “Yes. May I come in?”
......* “Of course, please.” He stepped back to let her pass, following her with his eyes as she dropped her bag on a suitcase rack by the door and walked to the windows. She looked out, facing away from him. “Didn’t you get a card key, too?”
......* Standing between the parted draperies, she held it up for him to see. “Yep. I just felt funny using it when you were already here.”
......* He joined her and looked over her shoulder out the window. She froze when he stood so close behind her. That was a surprise.

A Look At Jackson Castillo from 'To Feel Again' & 1NS Celebration! ( #1NS #birthday @decadentpub @mannvalerie #books )

......Today we have Jackson Castillo visiting from the story To Feel Again (1Night Stand series Book 1). Welcome!

......Jackson, what would you like to tell readers about yourself?
......* I’m a Cuban-American businessman, born and raised in Miami, and the CEO of the Castillo Resort and Hotel chain. I was once married to my company, but my wife, Leah, made me get a divorce. Now the company is my demanding mistress, which is all Leah will allow. She makes me leave the mistress at the office.
......* Madame Evangeline, owner of the 1Night Stand dating service uses my hotels quite often for her date arrangements, which is how we met. Eve, that is. Well, that’s not quite true, she and I have never met, but we speak on the phone. She’s a mysterious Frenchwoman and can be…interesting. Other than Leah, she’s the only person who gets away with telling me what to do. Frankly, she frightens me. The woman can read minds, see into the future, the past, parallel universes, outer-freaking-space…. Maybe I’m more scared of her than my wife. Hell, strike that out of the interview. Neither woman needs to know that, they’ll both use it against me somehow.

......Does your author ever try to take over the story? And how do you deal with it?
......* Ms. Mann? She lets everyone run rampant in her stories. They lack discipline, tell her where they’re going, what they’re doing. She has no control over them.
......* I behaved. I believe I might be the only one though.
......* I refused to be anything other than my buff, tall, dark and handsome self. I sure told her who was boss. I mean, I’m smokin’, there’s just no other way to portray me.
......* Okay, Leah just typed that. This is what happens when she reads over my shoulder. Sorry.

......If you were taken out of the story and placed into your author’s world, what would be the first thing you’d do?
......* Make her write more. If I can find the time to run a hotel empire (while being super hot, signed, Leah), she can find the time to write. Maybe playing Candy Crush is the problem. (I love Candy Crush. ~Leah)

......If you could pull your author into your world, what do you think would happen to her?
......* Valerie Mann would finally understand what a completely orgasmic world she writes in. Maybe that would motivate her to write more. I’ll ask her.

......What was the best sexual experience you’ve had?
......* Do you recall who is reading (and typing) over my shoulder? There’s a reason why I’m scared of her.
......(Smokin’ hot and smart. That’s my Jackson. ~ Leah)

......Where do you see yourself in the future? What do you hope to accomplish?
......* World domination. That would be an accomplishment. Realistically? Having my sons run the company once I retire. I’m in no hurry to have kids, by the way.
......* (But I make him practice with me. A lot. He’s a stud muffin.~ Leah)
......* I give up.

......Now for some author information!
......* My author is Valerie Mann. Valerie Mann is the superwoman every woman tries to be…mother of five attractive, successful children, vixen in and out of the bedroom, runway model fashionista, extreme gardener, and just recently crashed on bestseller lists as a romance author.
......* In real life, Valerie is the mother of five lovely, but ordinary children. Sure, she’s a vixen in and out of the bedroom, which explains the herd of kids. The closest she gets to a runway is an airport, and while she thinks gardens of all sorts are wonderful, she figures that hobby can wait until retirement, if her knees last that long. And that crashing you heard was Valerie collapsing on the couch at the end of a very long day. As for romance, she writes and likes to think she can tell an amazing tale of love or two. Her husband of nearly thirty years won’t read her stories because they make him blush but is content in the knowledge he’s the inspiration for every one of them.
......* Valerie currently works as a managing editor for an electronic publisher and is the co-owner of a company that provides editing services for writers.

......You can find my author, Valerie Mann, here...

......Now for some book information!
......A look into the story

......
~ Blurb ~ ......* When Leah loses her fiancé, Mark, in Afghanistan, it takes nearly a year to get to the point where she’s ready to live again. Although she doesn’t want an emotional commitment, a night of consensual sex, even with a stranger, might help bring her some closure after Mark’s death. Enlisting the services of Madame Evangeline’s high-end, online dating service, One Night Stand, promises exactly what Leah is looking for—sex with a man she doesn’t have to see again, but one who will satisfy her physical needs now that she's ready to move on with her life.
......* Jackson Castillo has no desire to go on a date with one of Evangeline’s clients. 1Night Stand uses his hotel for its client’s rendezvous, but otherwise, he never gets involved. When Eve threatens to take her business elsewhere unless he helps her with a particular case, he’s no fool. He’ll go on the date. But he won’t sleep with the woman.
......* When one thing leads to another, his good intentions to stay out of the bedroom with Leah are shattered. The sex is phenomenal, but there’s more to Leah he wants to explore. After she leaves the next morning without a goodbye, he’s both disappointed and royally pissed. Will he let her go or find a way to convince her she’s ready…to feel again? ......
~ Excerpt ~ ......(Author note: Madame Eve calls an unprepared Jackson Castillo to inform him he has a date of his own)
......* “I need a favor, my dear.” Eve paused as the nonstop tapping of a keyboard on the other end of the line echoed in her ear.
......* Such a driven man. He needs to find an outlet. Some relief, or at the very least, a distraction from his relentless, busy schedule.
......* A deep voice finally resonated with resigned impatience. “What can I do for you, Eve?”
......* “I have a client with a very...special request. I’d like your help.” She paused, already knowing what the man’s response would be. A big, fat no fucking way. Not that the reply would deter her in the slightest. Once she set her sights on satisfying her clients, nothing kept her from that goal. Which made her the very best at what she did.
......* He didn’t bother to hide a sarcastic snort. “I’m afraid to ask. Last time you called with a ‘special request,’ I had to pay my maintenance guys overtime to reinforce hooks in the ceiling. I still don’t want to know what that was about.”
......* “Not that I’d tell you anyway. But, I promise no hooks this time.” She hesitated, aware of the need to tread carefully. “Jackson, this woman’s profile is very sad. She lost her fiancé in Afghanistan nearly a year ago. She misses him desperately and has had a difficult time moving on.”
......* More tapping. Obviously distracted, Jack grunted a non-committal, “Uh, huh.”
......* “She feels a one-night stand with a man similar to her fiancé would bring her some closure.”
......* The rapid tapping paused. “Hasn’t she heard of counseling?” What sounded like the scraping shuffle of a phone being readjusted filtered over the line. “And how does fucking a stranger help with the grieving process?”
......* Eve tsked. “Honestly, Jackson, you Americans and your blunt vulgarities. Of course she’s had counseling. I wouldn’t consider honoring her request otherwise.”
......* He tapped some more. “Your point, Eve? I’m busy. What’s the favor?”
......* She laughed. This was going to be so much fun. “I’m looking for her perfect one-night lover. She emailed her fiancé’s picture along with her profile. He was tall, with short black hair, dark eyes, Mediterranean coloring...very handsome.” And a dead ringer for someone else we know.
......* Silence curled in the airwaves between them for several, long seconds. Jackson was a smart man, it wouldn’t take him long to—
......* “No. Fucking. Way.”
