Please welcome my guest blogger Laura M. Baird with Love on the Line.
BLURB
AJ finds it hard to trust another man’s intentions after being duped and dumped, so the last thing she wants is another in her life. But her friend has other ideas and sets her up with the perfect guy—through a chat-only service.
Hesitant at first, AJ is lured in by the deep, sexy voice and fun banter that easily becomes a nightly habit. As their bond grows and she begins to fall hard for him, they make plans to meet face-to-face.
With love on the line, will AJ decide to forgive him when he confesses to being part of the set-up?

Excerpt
from Love on the Line:
“Hello,” said the husky voice. “This is
Mathias.” His few words were clear, succinct, and surprisingly soothing.
Still, AJ remained quiet, locked up, unsure if
she could even do this. She was on the verge of disconnecting the call when
Mathias broke the silence.
“Would you like to tell me your name?”
Oh yes, definitely a voice made for phone sex.
Okay, she hadn’t called for phone sex. She wasn’t even the one who called. But
did people even do that anymore? Call for phone sex? Mathias’s sexy timbre
certainly made her think of that, giving her goose bumps and making her short
hairs stand on end.
Thanks a lot, Jen, AJ thought, remembering her
laughter as she quickly explained her scheme. Real mature for thirty-something.
Oh God, and here she sat with her phone to her
ear, listening to this undeniably alluring voice, wishing she had just hung up
the damn phone the minute the first word had been uttered.
“…and apparently you do, too.”
I do too, what?
“Hello?”
Crickets.
“If you’ve changed your mind, that’s
understandable. No harm. I’ll just say good-bye, and—”
“AJ,” she blurted. He sounded so down.
Disappointed. She felt bad.
Oh my God, what is wrong with me? I don’t even
know him, and here I am feeling sorry for him because I’m the one who won’t
speak to a stranger?
She slapped her forehead as she closed her eyes
and grimaced.
“Hi, AJ.”
She swore she could hear the smile in his voice
when he said her name. She was so weak.
“So do you really like hiking and kayaking?”
“Yes,” came her simple reply.
“And you enjoy beer more than wine. And you
prefer college football over NFL?”
“Yes, and of course.” So her friend really had
listed true facts.
“And even though you love to indulge in pizza,
burgers, and ice cream, you still manage to keep your figure in tip-top shape
as an ice girl for the Idaho Steelheads.”
“W-what!” AJ sputtered.
Mathias’s light laughter echoed in her ear.
“Gotcha. Just seeing if you were paying attention.”
Second
Excerpt:
Mathias’s voice echoed in her mind. What was it
about him that resonated with her? His seemingly laid-back nature? The ease
with which they exchanged stories and laughed with one another? She could just
imagine his rich voice with its low tone whispering in her ear, sending shivers
across her skin like a caress. Was he really as he jokingly described, at six
three, washboard abs, and looking like Chris Hemsworth?
AJ shivered as goose bumps dotted her skin in
spite of the warm water. She imagined his muscular form pressing into her
backside, warmth surrounding her as his arms circled her torso. Large hands
easily palmed her breasts, his fingers teasing her nipples while his growing
erection pressed into her lower back.
A whimper involuntarily escaped her mouth as her
breasts were suddenly tender, her sex clenching at the mere thought of the man
she envisioned performing deliciously dirty deeds. AJ caressed one breast then
the other as her hand roamed her own body. She moved down her toned abdomen to
the neatly trimmed curls between her thighs, pressing into her folds to finger
her clit. Moisture easily coated her digits and tentative flicks soon gave way
to furious rubbing as her movements became faster and harder. She moaned at the
euphoric feeling starting to sweep through her—something she had rarely ever
felt with Brad.
AJ quickly shut down those thoughts and instead
concentrated on bringing herself to orgasm. It’d been too long since her body
felt this way. She trembled as her fingers swirled across her flesh, her pussy
becoming engorged. What she wouldn’t give for a hot, thick cock filling her,
pounding into her. She couldn’t even mimic that action due to the fact she
didn’t own a vibrator.
“What woman in this day and age doesn’t own a
vibrator?” Jen had asked.
AJ began to rethink that decision immediately.
As her legs weakened, she braced a hand against
the shower wall while she continued to stroke herself. So close. She could feel
her insides tightening, and her hips began to thrust back and forth as she
raced to the finish line.
She couldn’t help the cry that shattered the
silence as her climax barreled through her. Her rubbing didn’t stop as she
pressed even harder against her clit, enjoying every pulse exploding from that
tiny, sensitive bundle of nerves.
As the waves of pleasure began to recede, AJ
leaned against the shower wall, panting. She couldn’t believe the fierceness of
her orgasm, brought on by her own hand and the explicit thoughts involving a
faceless stranger.
ABOUT Laura
M. Baird
As an emerging author, the past year has been
extremely exciting with six releases, and my newest, “Love on the Line”, is on
the way from Evernight Publishing on April 30th! My writing journey began many years ago, but
only within the last four (or so) did I tell myself, this is what I’m going to
do!
I grew up on the East Coast, and after joining
the U. S. Army, met and married my studly husband (of nearly 28 years), and
migrated to the West Coast. While
raising two sons, I put myself through dental hygiene school, which I’ve been
doing for the past eighteen years. Soon
I hope to transition out of that profession and concentrate solely on writing.
After attending my very first writer’s
conference in Bellevue, WA, in October of 2016, my motivation was at an
all-time high. By August of 2017, my
first book was published! Since then
it’s been rolling, with four releases from Evernight Publishing. My fifth with EP (still awaiting edits) will
be the start of what I hope to be a three-book series. I currently have the start of two other
series I plan to submit—a small-town romance, and The Cover Model Series set in Seattle. The first book in this series, In a Flash, was inspired by seeing the
amazing cover model photographer, Wander Aguiar, at the writer’s
conference. I wrote the story for
NaNoWriMo in 2016, finishing 52K in 26 days!
Since then it’s gone through a number of revisions, and with one more
polish, I’ll be submitting soon to EP.
One project I’m very honored to a part of is the
Happy Holidays – anthology of short
stories. It’s a compilation of stories from international authors, and all
proceeds go to The World Literacy Foundation.
It’s available on Amazon in both print and digital.
“Love on the Line” is set in Boise, one of my
very favorite cities. (I attended Boise State University!) It’s about AJ moving on from a bad
relationship. Unknowingly, her friend
registers her at a site called FlirtChat,
where individuals become interested in one another based on commonalities – no
pictures allowed. When said friend calls
a guy from the site and hands AJ the phone, she can’t deny the sexy appeal of Mathias’s
voice. One night of fun and eye-opening
talk leads to another, and another, and soon a relationship develops, and they
desperately want to meet in person. But
will they meet each other’s expectations?
Find out in this snarky, spicy contemporary romance.
When not writing, of course I’m reading—waaay too
many authors to list—from contemporary to erotic to suspenseful romance. I love finding ways to gain exposure and
engage with other authors and readers, and while I don’t have a blog, I love to
support authors by sharing as much as I can on my social media sites.
I’ve had the opportunity to “meet” so many
wonderful people associated with not only EP, but across the writing spectrum
and on the many social media platforms.
I look forward to one day meeting many in person. In July, I’ll have the opportunity to attend
an author event in Seattle, WA. Details
