Guest Author & Giveaway: Cassandra Carr featuring Head Games
Wednesday, December 28
After all of the holiday hoopla I could use a little pampering...ok, really it's more than just a little necessary at this point. I need a vacation, which sadly, isn't going to happen.
One thing that got me through all of the craziness was lists. I'm a list maker. I find them incredibly helpful, and it's not even to have the satisfaction of crossing things off, it's so that I don't forget something important.

Erotic Romance Author Cassandra Carr is my guest today with a list of her own...it's one kind of list that I've never made :) Cassandra and her heroine Kathy, from Head Games, discuss the pros and cons of having a menage relationship. Read and enjoy!
My heroine makes a pro/con list with a little help from me
Me: Kelly, I believe you're contemplating a life-changing decision. Can you tell us about it?
Kelly: Yes! These two hot guys I know have proposed that they share me. Can you believe it?!?
Me: Share?
Kelly: Yeah, like both be with me in a relationship.
Me: Ohh, kinky!
Kelly: *blushes* Yeah. But if you could see these guys...
Me: Oh, I've seen them. I created them.
Kelly: This is true!
Me: You know what always helps me make decisions like this? A pro/con list!
Kelly: *tilts her head* That might actually work!
Me: *getting out paper and a pen* Let's try it! Now, what would you say one "pro" to being with these guys is?
Kelly: Well, one that's obvious...they're both smokin' hot.
Me: I agree! *writes down 'smokin' hot bods'*
Kelly: And a con would be that if the public finds out I'm with both of those smokin' hot bods my reputation could be dragged through the mud.
Me: *nodding severely* Yes, that's possible. *writes down 'mud'*
Kelly: Another pro - they really focus on me. I feel like they really listen to me and care about the things I care about.
Me: Good point. *writes down 'listens/cares'*
Kelly: A con - they're out of town a lot to play games.
Me: Hmmm. *writes down 'possible strip club attendance'*
Kelly: Hey! I didn't say they might go to strip clubs.
Me: No, but I know hockey players, honey.
Kelly: But you created them! They aren't the types to do that!
Me: You've got me there. *erases*
Kelly: Another pro - they're totally supportive of the restaurant and of me having a career.
Me: Always a good thing. *writes down 'she can still work'*
Kelly: Oh, another pro - it seems silly but it's a big deal to me. Both of them are taller than me.
Me: All right. *writes down 'tallness means large'* Ow!
Kelly: That's not what I meant!
Me: Ah, but again you forget. I created them. I know how big they are.
Kelly: *blushes again* Fine, leave it there.
Me: Hey, it's a plus in my book!
Kelly: *snickers*
Me: So far the pro's are outweighing the con's.
Kelly: Then should I do it?
Me: If I two gorgeous, rich, attentive guys who wanted ME between them I'd do it in a heartbeat!
Kelly: *giggles* I gotta go.
Kelly: Yes! These two hot guys I know have proposed that they share me. Can you believe it?!?
Me: Share?
Kelly: Yeah, like both be with me in a relationship.
Me: Ohh, kinky!

And there you have it! See how the logic of a pro/con list can work?
Leo Laporte and Scott Schaeffer are teammates on the ice and roommates off it who also share women. They’ve been coming into Kelly Chase’s bistro after games for months, and they know they want her. As the attraction grows, the men realize they want more than a one-night stand - they want forever.
Kelly’s not so sure. Yes, she wants both men. But a permanent ménage relationship? That’s taking giving her heart away to a whole new level, and a chance she’s hesitant to take. Then Leo is injured and Scott’s on the trading block, and she realizes this may be her only shot at true, everlasting love.
There are so many questions swirling around inside Kelly’s head. Can she believe in Leo and Scott’s love? And will her business and her reputation survive once people find out she’s with two men?

There are so many questions swirling around inside Kelly’s head. Can she believe in Leo and Scott’s love? And will her business and her reputation survive once people find out she’s with two men?
Read an excerpt, & below is a special except for Musings readers:
“Okay, so let’s go over everything again – make sure we’re on the same page here,” Leo urged.
“All right. Can’t hurt. We need to present a united front if we’re gonna do this.”
“Exactly. So both of us want her.” They’d been attracted to Kelly since the moment they’d laid eyes on her, but had come to the realization a few months ago that their feelings ran deeper than simple lust.
Scott nodded; his eyes as determined and focused as Leo had ever seen them. “Yes, we both want her, and the only way that will work is if we share her. But we need to make it clear at some point, maybe not right up front, that we want her more than just sex.”
“And we think tonight is the night?”
“She’s definitely intrigued.” Scott paused and Leo could practically see the wheels turning in his friend’s head. “Even when we mentioned a threesome last week she didn’t run.”
“Yeah, and did you see the expression on her face? She wants it.”
“I think so, too. But don’t forget. We can’t push her too hard. And everything one of us does affects the other. We can’t let her tear us apart and if this thing starts to do that we need to reconsider.”
“Agreed,” Leo answered. He held up his fist. “Even now, even with Kelly, bros over hos, man.” The two men did a quick fist bump and Leo relaxed a little.
A few minutes later Kelly backed out of the kitchen, her arms laden with plates, and both men paused to admire her in her tight chef’s pants. She caught them staring and just shook her head, laughing.
Yes, they were done waiting for her to come around. It was time to put Operation Seduction into action.
