Mari Carr's Blog

Mari Carr brings all your fantasies to life in seven steamy novellas. Nothing is too wicked!

Erotic Research
Ross has spent years lusting after his shy best friend but fears his rather strong sexual desires will be too much for romance writer, Julia. When she falls into a depression and stops writing, Ross decides she needs a change. His suggestion? A new genre—erotica. And, of course, being such a good friend and editor, he plans to help her do some research.
Tequila Truth
On his birthday, Heath poses this Tequila Truth question: “What is your ultimate sex fantasy?” While Colt and Heath’s fantasies are too hot for words, it’s Kylie’s sex dream that hits a little too close to home for all of them. Her wish? A ménage a trois with two men, complete with bondage and a bit of spanking for good measure. Colt and Heath are only too willing to make Kylie’s fantasies come true and they make a proposal—one no-holds-barred, sexed-up weekend where nothing is off the menu.
Rough Cut
Hollywood star Ty thinks he has it all until he reads a special book of short stories. There’s only one way to meet the introverted writer—invite her to Tinsel Town to work on a script. The moment he sees Gwen, he realizes there’s something missing in his life, and it’s her. Gwen discovers there’s far more to Ty than a handsome face. They re-enact scenes from her stories that set Ty free to unleash his powerful cravings and expose Gwen’s deepest needs.
Power Play
Sex with a stranger was Francesca’s birthday gift to herself. She didn’t realize the gorgeous man in the power suit was her new marketing rival. The competition for clients heats up–literally–when Reed proposes a game. Win the account, win a fantasy. Bondage, submission and spankings, oh my! Soon the lovers come to the brink of something they never intended…or expected.
Assume the Positions
When Rachel’s friend suggests she have an affair with a younger man, Rachel is tempted, yet terrified. To control her angst, she makes a list of eligible men then…Nothing. Ethan is annoyed when he learns he’s not on Rachel’s list! So he does what any self-assured young stud would do. The hot cop gives her a copy of the Kama Sutra then asks her to make a new list. It’s time for Rachel to assume the positions. With him.
Do Over
After twenty-five years of marriage, Faith wonders what she’ll do next. Her kids have moved out and sometimes she feels so distant from her husband, Troy. Right before their anniversary, Troy gives Faith an unexpected gift: a journey through their hometown to reenact all their “firsts”. Their first date. Their first kiss. And especially the first time they made love—only better.
Mad about Meg
If it weren’t for bad luck, Meg wouldn’t have any luck at all. As if traveling to a tropical island in a storm isn’t bad enough, she’s doing it alone after finding her boyfriend in bed with another woman. Rob is used to being pursued by women for his fortune. When he meets Meg and realizes she doesn’t know who he is, he decides to spend the evening as a regular guy. As the night progresses and their attraction becomes apparent, Meg wonders if her luck has turned, while Rob wonders if one weekend will be enough…

For the first time, you can read the entire Crossed Wires series in one steamy boxed set!

Taming His Princess

Annie impetuously flies halfway around the world to visit a sexy cowboy she met online—only to find herself stranded in Sydney. Seems she and Dylan crossed wires, and he’s on his way to New York. His twin, Hunter, saves the day and whisks her back to the family cattle station. Hunter’s as easy on the eyes as Dylan, and even easier to talk to. Annie might have flown to Oz to meet one brother, but sparks are flying with the other.

When lust leads to attachment, where does that leave Annie and Hunter when her vacation comes to an end—or when Dylan finds out?

Claiming Her Cowboy

Flying halfway ’round the world to meet his potential soul mate sounds like a fine idea to Dylan–until he discovers said soul mate, Annie, has gone looking for him. In Australia. Now Dylan’s adrift, a bloke from the Outback alone in the big city. Until he’s rescued by Monet, a gorgeous local artist and Annie’s best friend.

Taking temporary care of the sizzling-hot cowboy is easy for Monet; he’s friendly, funny, and interesting. Keeping her hands off him is not easy. But an Aussie cowboy doesn’t belong in New York any more than a city girl belongs in the Outback. If only their hearts would listen.

Finding Her Master

A forced-sex fantasy is one thing—waking to find a scruffy man binding you to a bed is quite another. Amy fights him, until she realizes her friend must have set up the sexy scenario. While she’s surprised Harper would go to such lengths to help her fulfill a fantasy, Amy figures. . .why not?

After days of nonstop travel, Andrew arrives at the home he shares with his sister, Harper, with sleep on his mind—until he finds a naked intruder in his bed. Subduing the beauty, he assumes she’s the blind date his pal had tried to set him up with. And he’s not one to turn down such a gift.

Sharing Their Lover

A “life swap” with her Australian friend finds Harper on Farpoint Creek Cattle Station, resident teacher for the next two weeks. Having rarely left Chicago, she’s unprepared for many things Down Under—not the least of which is an instant, and instantly intense, attraction to not one, but two Aussie ranch hands. She’d promised herself an adventure, so when the handsome pair come calling, Harper dives in. Literally.

The Complete Series!

Party Naked

It’s hate at first sight when hot cop Jarod gives Stephanie a ticket. So when Jarod finds himself in her bar that same evening working undercover, things go south quickly. An impromptu kiss–to keep Steph from blowing his cover–turns into a sizzling one-night stand. She’s convinced she has no time for anything deeper than sex… But Jarod begs to differ. Steph’s adamant they’re driven by lust, not love. He’s prepared to prove otherwise, and he’ll even pull out the cuffs if necessary.

Screwdriver

Jordan spends way too much time fantasizing about her landlord, but she’s in Gabriel’s “just friends” column. She’s prepared to pine forever—until she meets Casey. The handyman is sexy, handsome, charming…and Gabriel’s best friend. Suddenly her wicked fantasies are porntastic times two.

Bachelor’s Bait

Sophia Kennedy is determined to chase her own success, rather than ride her father’s coattails. She doesn’t feel the need to explain herself to anyone, least of all the free-aid lawyer who’s determined to judge her as a society princess.

Marc Garrett has no time for a relationship. And he certainly doesn’t want a rich society fixture, though the damning evidence below his belt suggests otherwise. The more he comes to know his hardworking princess, the more he wants her…in his bed, over his lap, against a wall.

Screaming O

Elias has resisted his attraction to Jayne, assuming his dominance in the bedroom would send her running for the hills. Alone in a snowstorm, Elias tests the waters and is blown away by Jayne’s innate submissiveness. Soon it’s no longer a question of whether Elias should pursue Jayne, even if she’s not sure she’s brave enough to submit to him. She’s made for him, and this determined alpha male will stop at nothing until he’s claimed her….forever.

But then the kiss goes viral and sexy cop Landon is being flooded with female attention. Now it’s Sunnie’s turn to save Landon—by pretending to be his girlfriend. It’s all fake fun and games and a few orgasms…until Sunnie has to decide if this is still just a game or if this sexy nurse is ready to claim her hot cop…forever.

Crash Point

Fate has brought Blake back into her life. The textbook bad boy Chloe gave her body and heart to ten long years ago. He betrayed her trust, broke her heart, and stole from her family. Her fury still rages a decade later—so why does she want him more than ever? Blake never stopped wanting Chloe. Through years of bad choices, Chloe was his light, leading him away from a life of crime to turn him into the man he’s become, a respectable, decorated member of the NOPD. Now, he’s back. And ready to show her some bad boys can be very, very good.

Party Naked

He’s prepared to prove otherwise and he’ll even pull out the cuffs if necessary.

Dear Santa,

Dear Santa,
I’ve been a very good man…

Joe is an upstanding guy,  who works hard, helps raise his nephew, and plays Santa at the town’s annual holiday party. But he can’t resist the hot brunette from L.A. and before he can say “ho ho ho” she’s got him throwing over all his rules and dragging her to his bed.

There’s a storm coming… and he’s not taking no for an answer.

Life has dealt Kasi one blow after another. Following her mother’s untimely death, her family implodes, leaving her alone to run the farm. Fatigue and stress have become her new best friends, every day passing in a blur of work, work, and more work. When Levi Storm, her lifelong crush, keeps her from face-planting due to exhaustion, she’s mortified…and more than a little bit turned on.

A person could set a clock by Levi’s daily routine, right down to his afternoon trip to the Mills’ farm market to buy one of Kasi’s delicious pies. He’s known Kasi her entire life, so when the beautiful young woman faints in front of him, coming to in his arms, Levi is stunned by the sudden realization that she’s meant to be his, and he’s prepared to move heaven and earth to claim her.

Kasi should at least try to shake the sexy new six foot five shadow she’s acquired, but Levi’s much-needed help around the farm, his comfort as she struggles with grief, and his breath-stealing kisses are reigniting the hope and happiness she’s lost.

Until reality crashes in again, forcing her to choose between the dominant, possessive, amazing man who makes her heart race and her family’s beloved farm.
