Blog Tour: Tall, Dark & Tempting by Erika Wilde

TALL, DARK AND TEMPTING, an all-new fun and flirty standalone romance from New York Times bestselling author Erika Wilde is available now!

Dylan Stone and Serena Fields have been best of friends their entire lives. For Dylan, she's the solid, dependable woman in his life. His person. The one who has been there for him through the best and worst of times and doesn't see him for the millions he has in the bank. And even though he's been secretly attracted to her for years, there are some lines that best friends don't cross—even if he does spend most of their time together entertaining dirty thoughts about her that have no business being in his head.

Serena has been in love with Dylan Stone for as long as she can remember, but she's searching for her happily-ever-after and that's not her best friend's thing. Unfortunately, her dating life is one disaster after another, yet Dylan is always there with a pint of her favorite ice cream and a listening ear after each and every disappointing encounter.

It's the perfect arrangement, until one night changes everything.

Excerpt:

Standing in the back of the elevator, Serena's warmth and scent wreaked havoc on Dylan's senses with every breath he took.  He was still on edge from her rubbing up against him on the dance floor, and it didn’t help matters that her backside was inches away from finding out just how hot and bothered she’d managed to make him.  He was so excruciatingly hard his dick throbbed for relief, which sadly it wasn’t going to get tonight, and he shifted his stance so his erection didn’t end up prodding Serena’s ass.

It seemed to take forever until they reached their floor, and they quietly walked down the hall toward their separate junior suites, which were located directly across from each other, with him and Eric on one side, and her and Chelsea on the other.  

She retrieved her key card from the small purse she’d worn with the strap across her body so she didn’t have to hold the bag.  He started to tell her good night as she waved the plastic card in front of the lock mechanism, but the faint sounds he heard coming from inside her room—unmistakable moaning, groaning, sex noises—had him blurting out, “Don’t open the door!” right as she pushed inside.

She sucked in a startled breath and froze as she belatedly realized what she’d just walked in on—their friends getting laid.  With each other. Half-dressed, Eric was sitting on the couch in the living room area, with Chelsea straddling his lap, her dress hiked up to the tops of her thighs as they kissed and groped and moaned in pleasure, oblivious to the fact that they had an audience.  Jesus, out of courtesy, the least they could have done was hang the do-not-disturb sign on the door.

“Oh, crap,” Dylan heard Serena rasp.  Clearly flustered, she spun around, and in her haste to get out of the room, she slammed right into him as the door shut behind her.  

The unexpected impact had her wobbling on her heels, and his hands automatically shot out to grab her arms, then hauled her close to keep her steady on her feet.

Big fucking mistake.  Not only because her sweet, firm breasts were crushed against his chest and her body plastered to his, but the big, round eyes staring up at him in shock had nothing to do with what they’d just witnessed and everything to do with the stiff length of his erection tenting his pants that was now pressing insistently against her belly.   

“Oh my God, are you turned on because you just saw . . .”

Her words trailed off, but he knew what, or whom, she was referring to.  The easy answer was to say yes, even if it did make him look like a pervert, but the frustration he’d been dealing with all night was at its tipping point and overrode common sense.  

“No, it’s because of you, Serena,” he said through gritted teeth, the filter on his words having gone AWOL.  “I’ve been hard as a rock since you wiggled your ass against my dick out on the dance floor.  I’m a man, you’re gorgeous and hot as hell, so yeah, I fucking want you.”

Time stood still as the truth spilled out of him, his heart racing in his chest at what he’d just revealed.  Serena’s lips parted, her features etched at first with disbelief, then quickly shifting to hope and elation, then on to something more daring and courageous.

“It’s now or never,” he heard her whisper right before she wrapped her arms around his neck, pulled his head down to hers, and kissed him . . . not like a friend, but a sinfully sexy lover.  

This couldn’t happen.  Stop her, his brain shouted as their mouths merged and her tongue touched his bottom lip enticingly . . . but the accumulation of desire he’d harbored for his best friend for so many years finally crashed through every bit of self-discipline he had left, which wasn’t much at this point.  

He was helpless to resist her, and he suddenly no longer wanted to.

TALL, DARK & IRRESISTIBLE, an all-new fun, flirty, standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Erika Wilde is available NOW!

When it comes to love and happily ever after, Leo Stone is a disbeliever. Having been left at the altar by the one woman he thought he'd spend the rest of his life with, he's vowed to keep his heart to himself and enjoy the one thing he knows won't affect his emotions . . . hot, dirty sex. Except, what's a guy to do when a gorgeous woman asks him to be her stand-in boyfriend for two weeks—with benefits? Sign him up, please!

A drunken night one year ago, Peyton Bishop used Leo Stone's name and photograph to convince her overprotective parents that she was safe living in New York City—in part thanks to a boyfriend she adored. Except Leo, the hot guy she's had a secret crush on since college, has no idea he's been cast in the role of her lover. With her cousin's wedding coming up, and her parent's expecting to meet this mysterious boyfriend, Peyton is forced to come clean and ask Leo a huge favor.

Leo agrees to be her stand-in boyfriend, but what's a pretend couple to do when their fake feelings start to become oh-so-real?

Excerpt:

The two of them reached Leo's vehicle, and the doors unlocked with a chirp as he pressed the key fob in his free hand.  But instead of opening the passenger side for Peyton, he instead turned her around to face him . . . trapping her between the unyielding metal surface of the car behind her and the tall, muscular man standing less than two feet away.  

         He casually placed a hand on the door beside her and leaned a few inches closer.  "Before we go, I have one more question for you," he said, his tone serious.

         She inhaled the warm, masculine scent of his cologne mingling with leather from his jacket and tried not to let that intoxicating fragrance distract her.  "Okay." She figured it couldn't get any worse than everything she'd already admitted.

         "So, usually, when a person gets propositioned, they get something out of the deal," he said, his heavy-lidded gaze dropping to her mouth.  "You'd be getting a devoted boyfriend out of the arrangement. What would I get?"

         She didn't miss the suggestion in his eyes or the playful curve of his smile.  "What do you want?" she asked, unable to hide the breathless quality of her voice.

         "Well, for starters, how about a show of good faith, like a kiss?"  His free hand came up and gently cupped the side of her face, while his thumb skimmed along her damp bottom lip.  "I think it's important to know what I might be getting myself into and if we're compatible enough to pull off this whole pretend boyfriend/girlfriend thing.  I mean, what if we kiss and we realize that there's just no spark there? Then this whole farce is doomed for failure."

         He was teasing her.  She could see the mischievous glimmer in his eyes, and it provoked a smile from her, even as her breathing escalated with every second that passed with the temptation of finally having Leo's lips pressed against hers dangling like a carrot in front of her.  

         "Then kiss me so we can find out," she whispered.

         His thumb dipped down beneath her chin to tip her head back as he lowered his mouth to hers.  His lips were surprisingly soft as they found hers for the first time, his teeth gentle as they nibbled at her bottom lip.  She couldn't hold back the needy moan that escaped her throat, or the way her hands instinctively lifted and settled against his solid chest even as he pressed closer to her, his hard thighs and hips pinning her against the car.

         "Jesus," he breathed against her lips in shock, clearly feeling the heat between them that was a spark on the verge of becoming an undeniable blaze.  

         Sliding both of his hands into her hair, he held her head steady as he came back for another taste, and this time, there wasn't an ounce of gentleness in the way he swept his tongue inside and plundered her mouth—boldly, deeply, greedily.  She made a wild, desperate sound as she fisted her hands in his cotton T-shirt and matched him kiss for kiss, turning that blaze into an inferno that was so hot it threatened to singe them both. And in the moment, neither one of them seemed to care.  

         She felt the unmistakable ridge of his erection nudging against her belly, and a new hunger spiraled tighter inside her.  Desire made her knees weak, her nipples excruciatingly hard, and her panties wet. Everything about Leo Stone was sensation overload to every part of her body, and if there was any worry in either of their minds about pulling off a believable attraction, this kiss eliminated any and all concerns.          

         By the time Leo finally lifted his mouth from hers, they were both breathing hard from all the heightened sexual tension between them.  His dark eyes glittered with lust as he gazed down at her, looking as dazed as she felt.

         Somehow, someway, she found her voice.  "Was that convincing enough for you?" she asked huskily.

         His low, sexy chuckle made her shiver.  "Oh, yeah . . . it was definitely a good start."

Blog Tour: TALL, DARK AND CHARMING by Erika Wilde

Tall, Dark and Charming, an all-new sexy standalone from Erika Wilde, is now LIVE!

Aiden Stone loves life as a bachelor and has no intentions of settling down anytime soon. He has a great job and a career he enjoys, and women adore him . . . except for Daisy Parker, who doesn't seem fazed by his flirtatious attempts or the sexy smile that normally has panties dropping to the floor. She's a tougher nut to crack, but the fact that she seems immune to his charm only fascinates him more . . . until one hot unexpected encounter with her blows his mind and gives them both more than just a night of pleasure. Because Daisy is now his baby momma, and his life is about to change in ways he'd never anticipated.

Excerpt

"Enough about work.  I say we move on to other pleasures," Aiden said with a flirtatious gleam in his eyes.  "What'll you have to drink? Your normal white wine spritzer?"

         Yep, she really was totally predictable and boring, because that was always her go-to drink during their monthly mixers with clients, or when some of their co-workers went out after work for a cocktail, and he'd obviously noticed her light-weight choice.  Her limit was always one, and she was usually the first to leave those social gatherings, citing an early morning.

         Predictable and boring had been her life for the past three years because it was a safe place to be, but tonight, being in a different city and away from her normal routine and weighty expectations prompted her to be daring.  

         "I think I'll have a Moscow mule," she said, stepping completely outside of her square little box.  

         He arched a dark brow, the amusement in his eyes warm and playful.  "Wow, walking on the wild side tonight, huh?"

         She laughed, the sound huskier than she'd intended.  "Sure. Why not."

         "Why not, indeed," he murmured, looking at her as if he was seeing someone other than the reserved woman he'd worked with the past three years before motioning to the bartender.

         "What can I get you two?" the older gentleman asked as he set a small square napkin on the counter in front of each of them.  

         "Two Moscow mules," Aiden said, surprising Daisy by ordering one for himself.

         "You like them, too?" she asked once the bartender left them to make their drinks.  With a mixture of vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, it was usually an acquired taste.    

         "Never had one," he admitted, flashing her a dimpled grin that caused a warm tickle in her belly.  "But if you're taking a walk on the wild side tonight, then I'm joining you."

         She rolled her eyes.  "Yeah, I'm such a rebel," she scoffed, then shook her head at that absurd notion and laughed.  "Okay, let's be real. I'm so not rebellious."

         "I know, which is why I'm not letting you indulge alone," he teased, leaning his forearm on the countertop. "You know what they say . . . friends don't let friends get drunk alone."

         Her lips quirked at his explanation.  "Umm, can't say I've ever heard that quote before."

         "Just go with it, Daisy," he encouraged, swiveling his chair so that his body was turned toward her, though she remained sitting straight because if she did rotate her seat his way, his legs would end up bracketing hers.  "Besides, I don't want to be the responsible sober one if you do something crazy, like dance on one of the tabletops. I want to watch and cheer you on."

         Her cheeks warmed at the notion of doing something so impulsive, but mostly at the thought of Aiden encouraging her brazen behavior and having his eyes on her while she shimmied her body and tempted him to end her three year dry spell.  Yeah, as if that would ever happen.  Judging by the beautiful, sophisticated, svelte women she'd seen him with, she was so not his type.

         "So, truthfully?" he said, his voice effectively snapping her out of her little fantasy, even though the residual scrape of her tight, hard nipples against the cups of her bra was distracting as hell.  "I've always been curious to know what a Moscow mule tasted like."

         "You didn't have to order one," she told him with a laugh.  "I would have given you a sip of mine."

         "Mmm . . . I don't think I should be putting my lips on your lips," he said, his voice dipping sensually low as his gaze skimmed across her mouth before lifting to her eyes again.  "Well, not technically, anyways, but if you shared, I might not be able to stop at one taste, and that wouldn't be fair to you."

         Daisy's pulse stuttered, then resumed at a faster, more arousing pace.  Oh. My. God. Were they even talking about the Moscow mule anymore? She was used to the occasional teasing exchange with Aiden at work where there were a dozen other people around so it never felt personal.  But now that it was just the two of them, without anyone else around to buffer his comments and the situation, she wasn't sure what to make of this more intimate dialogue . . . except to admit that it was making her very aware of how much she missed this kind of connection with a man . . . especially the physical one.  And how much she liked Aiden's attention.

         The bartender delivered their drinks, and both she and Aiden picked up their highball glasses and took a sip of the Moscow mule.  The taste of vodka was strong, but the spicy ginger beer and lime gave it an interesting twist of flavor. It took Aiden three sips, taken with a furrowed, uncertain brow, before he finally, slowly, nodded his head in approval.

         "It's definitely different, but I like the kick of spice."  He shifted his gaze from the drink, to her. "Who knew beneath those conservative suits you wear that you were a woman who liked a little spice in her life."

         His eyes twinkled mischievously, though there was something more heated simmering beneath the amber hue as he maintained eye contact with her.  As if he was testing just how far she'd allow this arousing banter between them to go. If she'd play it off like she normally did, or if she'd dare to take a walk on the wild side, as he'd suggested earlier.  

         The thought was appealing, especially in a city and environment where no one knew them.  Deciding to just go with the flow of flirty conversation and enjoy the evening away from work, obligations, and responsibilities, she took another swallow of her drink and smiled at him.  "That's because you've never seen me out of my business attire."

Tall, Dark and Charming, an all-new sexy standalone from Erika Wilde, is coming June 5th!

Aiden Stone loves life as a bachelor and has no intentions of settling down anytime soon. He has a great job and a career he enjoys, and women adore him . . . except for Daisy Parker, who doesn't seem fazed by his flirtatious attempts or the sexy smile that normally has panties dropping to the floor. She's a tougher nut to crack, but the fact that she seems immune to his charm only fascinates him more . . . until one hot unexpected encounter with her blows his mind and gives them both more than just a night of pleasure. Because Daisy is now his baby momma, and his life is about to change in ways he'd never anticipated.

Excerpt

"Enough about work.  I say we move on to other pleasures," Aiden said with a flirtatious gleam in his eyes.  "What'll you have to drink? Your normal white wine spritzer?"

         Yep, she really was totally predictable and boring, because that was always her go-to drink during their monthly mixers with clients, or when some of their co-workers went out after work for a cocktail, and he'd obviously noticed her light-weight choice.  Her limit was always one, and she was usually the first to leave those social gatherings, citing an early morning.

         Predictable and boring had been her life for the past three years because it was a safe place to be, but tonight, being in a different city and away from her normal routine and weighty expectations prompted her to be daring.  

         "I think I'll have a Moscow mule," she said, stepping completely outside of her square little box.  

         He arched a dark brow, the amusement in his eyes warm and playful.  "Wow, walking on the wild side tonight, huh?"

         She laughed, the sound huskier than she'd intended.  "Sure. Why not."

         "Why not, indeed," he murmured, looking at her as if he was seeing someone other than the reserved woman he'd worked with the past three years before motioning to the bartender.

         "What can I get you two?" the older gentleman asked as he set a small square napkin on the counter in front of each of them.  

         "Two Moscow mules," Aiden said, surprising Daisy by ordering one for himself.

         "You like them, too?" she asked once the bartender left them to make their drinks.  With a mixture of vodka, spicy ginger beer, and lime juice, it was usually an acquired taste.    

         "Never had one," he admitted, flashing her a dimpled grin that caused a warm tickle in her belly.  "But if you're taking a walk on the wild side tonight, then I'm joining you."

         She rolled her eyes.  "Yeah, I'm such a rebel," she scoffed, then shook her head at that absurd notion and laughed.  "Okay, let's be real. I'm so not rebellious."

         "I know, which is why I'm not letting you indulge alone," he teased, leaning his forearm on the countertop. "You know what they say . . . friends don't let friends get drunk alone."

         Her lips quirked at his explanation.  "Umm, can't say I've ever heard that quote before."

         "Just go with it, Daisy," he encouraged, swiveling his chair so that his body was turned toward her, though she remained sitting straight because if she did rotate her seat his way, his legs would end up bracketing hers.  "Besides, I don't want to be the responsible sober one if you do something crazy, like dance on one of the tabletops. I want to watch and cheer you on."

         Her cheeks warmed at the notion of doing something so impulsive, but mostly at the thought of Aiden encouraging her brazen behavior and having his eyes on her while she shimmied her body and tempted him to end her three year dry spell.  Yeah, as if that would ever happen.  Judging by the beautiful, sophisticated, svelte women she'd seen him with, she was so not his type.

         "So, truthfully?" he said, his voice effectively snapping her out of her little fantasy, even though the residual scrape of her tight, hard nipples against the cups of her bra was distracting as hell.  "I've always been curious to know what a Moscow mule tasted like."

         "You didn't have to order one," she told him with a laugh.  "I would have given you a sip of mine."

         "Mmm . . . I don't think I should be putting my lips on your lips," he said, his voice dipping sensually low as his gaze skimmed across her mouth before lifting to her eyes again.  "Well, not technically, anyways, but if you shared, I might not be able to stop at one taste, and that wouldn't be fair to you."

         Daisy's pulse stuttered, then resumed at a faster, more arousing pace.  Oh. My. God. Were they even talking about the Moscow mule anymore? She was used to the occasional teasing exchange with Aiden at work where there were a dozen other people around so it never felt personal.  But now that it was just the two of them, without anyone else around to buffer his comments and the situation, she wasn't sure what to make of this more intimate dialogue . . . except to admit that it was making her very aware of how much she missed this kind of connection with a man . . . especially the physical one.  And how much she liked Aiden's attention.

         The bartender delivered their drinks, and both she and Aiden picked up their highball glasses and took a sip of the Moscow mule.  The taste of vodka was strong, but the spicy ginger beer and lime gave it an interesting twist of flavor. It took Aiden three sips, taken with a furrowed, uncertain brow, before he finally, slowly, nodded his head in approval.

         "It's definitely different, but I like the kick of spice."  He shifted his gaze from the drink, to her. "Who knew beneath those conservative suits you wear that you were a woman who liked a little spice in her life."

         His eyes twinkled mischievously, though there was something more heated simmering beneath the amber hue as he maintained eye contact with her.  As if he was testing just how far she'd allow this arousing banter between them to go. If she'd play it off like she normally did, or if she'd dare to take a walk on the wild side, as he'd suggested earlier.  

         The thought was appealing, especially in a city and environment where no one knew them.  Deciding to just go with the flow of flirty conversation and enjoy the evening away from work, obligations, and responsibilities, she took another swallow of her drink and smiled at him.  "That's because you've never seen me out of my business attire."
