Nichelle Gregory, author of Soul Fire
My three favorite vacation destinations:
• Chicago. Where else can you experience world-class cuisine, amazing concerts, shows, museums, rockin' night life and shopping? The Windy City has something to offer everyone and it will always be one of my favorite places!
• Seattle. The Emerald City encourages one to embrace the beauty of nature. I think Seattle is one of the prettiest cities in America with its plethora of greenery, lakes and mountains. I also love the health-conscious mind-set of Seattleites. Ahh … There's just something about the air in Seattle that soothes my senses!
• Kauai. I've had the pleasure of visiting this lush island twice. The breathtaking backdrop of the mountains, warmth of the sun and glorious beaches make this one gorgeous escape from the mundane! It's hard to imagine anything more wonderful than gazing out over the ocean with a drink in hand. Scenic landscapes, lovely people and food — Kauai inspires romance!
I've been to many places, but the three destinations I've mentioned will always be at the top of my list to return to in the future. All locations have been featured in my work and I'm quite certain a memorable experience awaits anyone that selects one of the three I've shared!
Here's the blurb for Soul Fire:
Married almost ten years, Aimee and Kaden are committed to facing any challenges within their relationship together…even if it means exploring unexpected forbidden desires.
Aimee's life goes into a tailspin after her husband Kaden reveals he's had an affair. Devastated, Aimee's unsure whether to call it quits on their marriage or to forgive him. Meanwhile, she turns to Van, Kaden's colleague and friend, for solace, but comfort turns to sizzling sex and mutual feelings she never expected. Committed to her marriage despite everything that's happened, Aimee wonders if Kaden will be as forgiving as she has been for the sake of their relationship.
Kaden wants Aimee's forgiveness. He's willing to do anything to make things right, but wishes he could experience with his wife the same kind of spicy encounters he had with his lover. He's shocked to learn the details of Aimee's kinky tryst and jealous of the bond that exists between her and Van. Kaden doesn't plan on losing his wife to another man, especially now when he and Aimee are finally being honest about what they need from each other.
Can their marriage survive and thrive with their new wicked passions?

Katy Swann, author of Dominion, The Ultimatum
My three favourite vacation destinations are:
• New York. This has to be the most vibrant city I've ever been to. It's got a heart and soul that welcomed us with open arms and I can't wait to go back.
• Seychelles. With beautiful beaches, hot sunshine and wonderful people, this stunning island really is paradise. We went there on our honeymoon and hope to return one day soon.
• Copenhagen. In the summer this city is alive with outdoor friendliness and laughter and in December it becomes a wonderland of Christmas magic. Just don't go in January!
Here is the blurb for Dominion, The Ultimatum:
Frankie Hamilton is stunned when her husband, Jake, gives her an ultimatum. Either she goes with him to a country hotel for the weekend or he'll leave her. In an attempt to save her troubled marriage she agrees to go.
But Dominion is no ordinary hotel. During the week it's an upmarket conference centre, but at weekends it becomes an exclusive BDSM hotel. This particular weekend it's Vanilla Spice, where those new or returning to BDSM can explore their fantasies in a safe and decadent environment.
When Jake asks her to submit one more time Frankie is initially outraged. After all, it's two years since their D/s dynamic ended and she's no longer a submissive. Is she? She still loves Jake though and doesn't want to lose him so she agrees, even if it's just to prove that she's now as vanilla as the ice cream in their freezer.
But Frankie is soon reminded of how delicious it feels to kneel at her Master's feet. Her fondness for punishment and a good spanking leaves her begging for more. And when their old friend and owner of Dominion, Marco Alessi, offers to use her as the subject for a rope demo she's finally forced to face up to her kinky needs.
But that's not the only thing she has to come to terms with. Beneath her tough exterior lies a grief that has been buried for two years. As her submission starts to melt the icy core inside her heart, it sets off a chain of events and emotions that could either make her marriage stronger than ever or completely destroy it.

Three of my favorite actors:
• John Barrowman. Besides being incredibly gorgeous, John Barrowman is a fabulous actor. He's versatile, unabashedly in-your-face, fun and extremely talented. I found out about him when he was on Doctor Who, and it was "stalk-lust-at-first-sight"… I mean … I was a fan at first sight. Yeah. I followed him over to Torchwood, which is a show I'm obsessed with and can recite word-for-word.
• Shemar Moore. You can't think of Criminal Minds without thinking about Derek Morgan played by the sexy Shemar Moore. From Young & The Restless, to The Brothers and on through to Criminal Minds and everything in between, Shemar has played the bad boy, the good guy, and the player, yet always the sexy man. My readers send me pictures because they know of my … appreciation for him.
• Jennifer Aniston. It was a tossup between JenAn and Mila Kunis for me, because I love them both, but I've loved Jennifer longer. I have almost every movie of hers on either DVD or Blu-ray, I have the entire series of Friends on both DVD and Blu-ray, and still watch it on TV, and I've watched her grow and expand as an actress. So while I love Mila, I adore Jen. #TeamJen all the way.
