And yeah sadly this is a not
oh dear
How the mighty has fallen. Sadly this is a great big no. NO
Le Bon Vivant Franschhoek, where we went recently.
http://www.lebonvivant.co.za/
Now we have been going there for, ohh around ten years. They know I am coeliac so no wheat, gluten or rye. So far, until this visit, excellent food.
No worries, you would think.
Hmm
Sadly you are wrong. Not this year. We booked two months in advance. And as ever asked if the fact i have to be gluten free is a problem. (no)
What on earth has gone wrong? Amuse bouche...Gluten
bread...gluten...
another 'bit' gluten
me worried...oh yes... very. Mega worries.
Food... Hmmm what has gone wrong.
I have no idea, except you have lost two very loyal customers. I am so sorry about this, but you know, you have now lost the edge. Not just re gluten, but with regards to the standard of you food. As Dh said. Last year you were in our top ten restaurants in the world. This year? Not even close.
Sorry
But on to the next xxx

#SexySnippets with a killer or ten
Yeah, We're back on Death Isle for this week's #SexySnippets
Taken from my alter ego, Kera Faire's WIP called The Carpenter.
Dark Isle. Where not everything is as it seems...
It was always handy to have an alter ego. One to hide behind if need be.
The problem was sometimes you forgot who you were or why you were there.
Sometimes you didn't.
A traitor was a traitor and this
one was worse than most. Trafficking, and abusing kids—kids from Scotland who
should be in school, playing hopscotch or keepie-up with their mates, was to
Mason’s mind the worst of the worst. A
betrayal of all Great Britain stood for.
The
bastard.
The scumbag deserved to die, and if
it were up to Mason it would be a long slow lingering death. Where he sweated
as the pigs took mouthfuls of him. If it were also up to Mason his cock would be
the first thing to be nibbled. What a pity Mason was only a Dispatcher, not
judge and jury as Darke had to be.

#MidWeekTease Heat in Hong Kong. In more than one way...
Hi all, and welcome to #MidWeekTease.
As ever it's my pleasure to tease you again. And as it's still winter here I've gone for two types of heat. The story and the setting.
"You're
trespassing. You shouldn't be up here at night."
She
stared up at him and grinned. The moon appeared from behind a cloud and his
pulse jumped like a flea in a circus. It was her. His mystery lady.
“So
I am, or should that be am not?” She swirled her arms and the moonlight caught
the ripples and sent tiny moonbeams dancing over the surface of the pool. “Which
means unless you’re the night watchman…?” Her voice trailed off mid sentence,
on a querying note.
Braam
shook his head.
“Then
neither should you. So why don’t you join me? Or is jogging the only exercise
you do?” She tilted her head to one side and swam in lazy circles around the
island in the centre of the pool.
Does she know there’s innuendo in that
statement?
“Come
on, live dangerously. You know you shouldn’t swim alone at night.” She laughed.
“So in actual fact, we’ll be helping each other.”
Why not? Braam pushed the sides of his trousers apart and kicked them off his
legs with scant care to creases. The suit needed to go to the cleaners anyway.
An over anxious sous chef had made sure of that when Braam had checked the
buffet earlier.
He
left his boxers on—after all there was such a thing as over-familiarity—and
dived in.
The
water closed over his head and he pushed to the surface. It was like swimming
in a Jacuzzi without the bubbles. The warmth surrounded him as he swam towards
the woman leaning against the edge of the pool with her arms stretched out to
hold her in place.
“So,
hello, Ms Intruder. We meet again.” He trod water and moved his arms and hands
to stay in front of her and not move into her personal space. As much as he’d have
liked to crowd her, demand who she was and why she was there, he knew better.
“It
seems we do. Nothing more mysterious than the ways of the world, eh?” She
chuckled and splashed water with her legs. “Is this where I say fancy meeting
you here? Or we must quit meeting like this, people will talk?”
There
was no doubt about that, especially if the night manager turned the security
cameras on. Braam angled his body then swam around the island so that if that
did happen, his face wouldn’t be seen. There was one spot where the cameras
didn’t reach, but was visible to the lifeguards when they were on duty. As he
hoped, the lady swam after him, until they reached what he termed the safe area.
“Are
we playing tag?” Her voice was husky and it lifted his libido and his cock by
several notches. In fact, his cock was pressing against his boxers and even the
water couldn’t come to his aid so he didn't get harder by the
minute. This woman intrigued him.
“I
can think of better things to play.”
Her
eyes widened and the laugh she gave went straight to his dick and hinted at all
things erotic.
“Such
as? Ludo? Scrabble, or, I know, Hotel?” She ran her tongue around her lips in
an unconscious invitation to plunder and Braam was hard pressed not to groan.
“You
show me yours and I’ll show you mine…” Braam paused. “Hotel, I mean, what else?”
She
giggled. It wasn’t the silly sound a young girl would make, but a deep, sexy
noise. “How about Kiss Chase?”
In
one swift movement the lady pushed off the side, kissed him hard on the lips
and turned to swim away. He was too fast for her. Braam held her by the
shoulders, tread water and kissed her back.
She
groaned deep into his mouth and let her tongue swirl with his. Her body floated
next to his and her breasts teased his chest. The thin lace that covered her
was no barrier to hide how her nipples stood out. Braam slid one leg between
hers and moved one hand to hold her ass and push her tight against him.
She
wriggled and ground her pussy on his cock. Yet again, the few scraps of lace
she wore were negligible. Even so it took immense control not to rip them away
and have nothing between them. Instead he held her close, let her rub herself
on him and savoured the moment. Braam swam them backwards a few feet until he
could rest on a ledge a foot or so underwater and sit his lady on his knees
with her legs either side and her pussy open to his cock. It was teasing, tantalising
and downright enjoyable. Judging by the shivers and mewls she made as he
nibbled her ear and scattered kisses over her face and mouth, she agreed. Her
hands played with his nipples.
Until
his cock gave notice that a few more seconds’ play and they’d need to clean the
pool out. He was so close to coming it hurt.
Braam
pulled back and she moaned in protest.
“Honey,
I’m so close to coming it’s painful. We need to get out and find somewhere more
suitable.” He towed her to the roman steps at one end of the pool and glanced
around the area. Not even a sunbed had been left out.
His
lady looked dazed and her eyes were misty.
“Eh?”
“We
can’t come in the pool. Well, I can’t. We need to… Holy hell and fuck.”
She
sat up, half out of the water, and rubbed her face. “That sounds rude and hold
on, we need to fuck? Who says?”
“Well,
you didn’t say we didn’t a few minutes ago,” Braam said. “But we need condoms.
I don’t suppose you have one with you?”
“Con…
Argh, shit and fuck. No, strangely I don’t. They’re not something I feel I need
when I go for a walk at midnight.” She sounded horrified. “Even if it does
include an illicit swim. You?”
He
shook his head. “Sadly no. I mean where would I carry it?
She
got out of the pool and looked around her. “Apart from that, I don’t make a
habit of screwing with strangers, even with a condom. Where’s a towel? Blame it
on the moon, oh, I don’t know, temporary insanity or jet lag or something. Pure
fucking stupidity. Look, if you try anything, I’ve got a black belt in karate.
So, towels?”
“Locked
away. Along with sunbeds, robes and all things needed to fuck.” He paused. “Or
dry off.”
She
shut her eyes and sighed. “Figures. Oh, Lord, what have I done?”
“Nothing
yet, and in the future? Up to you, but let me say, I seem to have been
inflicted by the same bout of insanity if that’s any consolation.”
“It
isn’t. I guess I’ll have to do the walk of shame in a dress sticking to my wet
body.”
“Or
we could make love and dry off that way?” Braam suggested. He could have bitten his tongue out. Do I have a death wish? When will I learn to keep my mouth shut?
“Or
not. Sorry. But I don’t even know your name. Isn’t it at least polite to be
introduced or something?”
She
shivered and Braam stood up and left the pool to grab his shirt.
“Here,
use this to dry off.” He handed her the shirt and walked to the other side of
the pool where his jacket and trousers were. “My name is Abraham,” he said as
he used his jacket to soak up the bulk of the moisture on him. It looked like
even the dry cleaners wouldn’t save it. “Braam to my friends.”
There
was silence from the other side of the pool.
“And
you?”
His
answer was to hear the faint noise of the lift descending.
and there you have it... Hope it warms you up a bit,

#SexySnippets with an Earl and a Courtesan and a bit of mystery
Hi and welcome to #SexySnippets. Seven sentences from a book or WIP.
Having bounced up and down, enjoyed a glass or two of a rather lovely fizz (Tattinger) and signed my contract for The Earl and The Courtesan, book one of my new Daring Ladies series, with Totally Bound Publishing, I thought I'd do my sexy snippets from there. Okay it's not out until May but I might as well tease you on and off til then ;)
So...
Here's your seven sentences...
Having bounced up and down, enjoyed a glass or two of a rather lovely fizz (Tattinger) and signed my contract for The Earl and The Courtesan, book one of my new Daring Ladies series, with Totally Bound Publishing, I thought I'd do my sexy snippets from there. Okay it's not out until May but I might as well tease you on and off til then ;)
A club for unconventional females?
Never. The ton would be scandalised.
However, that didn’t matter to
the members.
They weren’t ton material.
As for scandal?
It was their middle name.
So...
Once a courtesan, not always a courtesan
Time to move on.
Who better to do it with than a rake?
Blurb
Theresa Kyle, ex-courtesan, will not
kowtow to any man in marriage, let alone an odious ex-pupil. When the man rejects her refusal she
reluctantly agrees to seek help.
Jamie, the Earl of Weston is in a fix of
his own. The marriage mart is not for him, let
alone a compulsory wedding due to the machinations of his mother.
A mutual friend seems to have the perfect
plan.
The Earl and the courtesan—what better way
to foil those who want to see them married against their will? Alas, the best-laid plans go awry. Neither
expected to fall in love in the process, nor can there ever be a real future
for them.
As far as Jamie is concerned, being a
member of the aristocracy comes in handy when you need to bend the rules to
your will. Convincing Teresa, however, may well be
harder than winning over the Ton.
Here's your seven sentences...
The
lady in question will appear to want you as much as you want her. I hope.”
All
of a sudden Jamie began to enjoy himself. “Oh there will be no appearing to do
so. Come on, Ria, do you want to wager I can’t make her want me?” He raised one
eyebrow in query. “Really?”
