Jackie Kessler’s The Road To Hell

Writing & Publishing

This is such a fun series. If you haven’t read Jackie’s First Book, Hell’s Belles, you should. Jezebel is a blast of a character. A succubus escaping from Hell, stuck on earth and trying to live as a human while still retaining her demon dirty mind. So what does a demonic seductress choose as a human profession? A stripper, of course. Love her. Truly a funny, sexy, make-no-excuses character, and the first book was a riot.

The second is out now, and The Road To Hell was just as good as Hell’s Belles. I loved it so much I did a cover quote for it! :boobie:

Jezzie is still fighting Hell, still in love with Paul, her human boyfriend, and still juggling life on Earth.

Buy the book. Trust me, you’ll love it.

Juicy excerpt after the jump.

Tall, Dark and Filthy Rich

Out November 1st from Harlequin Blaze

What would you do if you hit the jackpot?

Private investigator Jessie Huell has always eschewed girlie things for the tools of her trade. She’d swap Jimmy Choos for a nightscope any day. But when she arrives as a guest on a popular Atlanta sex show, Jessie is unexpectedly reunited with high school crush and producer Cole Crawford—multi-million dollar lottery winner, igniter of panties…and bad, bad news for her.

Now Jessie is the official spokesperson for fling-havers everywhere—Cole and Jessie are doing hot, naughty things in the very same places she swore she’d avoid. As each incredible second explodes by, Jessie finds herself in deep trouble: if she’s not careful she’ll break the first rule of flingdom and it’ll turn serious…which means she’ll have to find the real dirt on Cole Crawford…because this man’s too good to be true!

What Others Are Saying About Jill Monroe

70 Days of Sweat Writing Challenge, Writing & Publishing, Life in Motion

How was everyone’s weekend?

The Boo Ha Ha parade was fun. Except for riding the bike in it. Lots of clutching and not riding (for Biker Dude, not for me. I just ride, since I’m on the back :giggle:). Parades move slow, ya know. Hundreds of kids though. Fun stuff! And they seemed to enjoy the bikers riding by. We had fun doing that. I enjoyed seeing all the kids dressed up in Halloween costumes lining the road. They were adorable. And bike riding is always fun, no matter what you’re doing. Weather was gorgeous.

70 Days of Sweat writing challenge is going well. Of course I lost 3 days last week due to galley reviews, but still managed 6000 words of good solid writing on RIDING TEMPTATION, so we’re rockin on the book now. As long as nothing else non-writing wise comes knocking at my door, I hope for some smooth sailing to the finish line. I really need some uninterrupted writing time in a major way. I hope to really crank up the word count this week.

So other than work, Halloween, and grocery shopping, I’m writing this week. Nothing but writing. What’s on your agenda?
