Sweet Obsession...


Sweet Obsession has gotten some lovely reviews so far! Yay!




Cocktails and Books 5 Glasses!


Night Owl Reviews 4 1/2 Stars!















I’ve been thinking about something that was written in one of the reviews of Sweet Obsession about Sasha.


I’m kind of an old lady. My twenties were quite a few years ago, but I know in my twenties, even as a married woman, I was still figuring out a lot of things about sex. I did not know that BDSM existed. Maybe the world has changed since then. Is BDSM so mainstream now that young women in their twenties know all about it and understand it? I get that Fifty Shades of Grey may have opened people’s eyes to some things, but that wasn’t a really deep exploration of BDSM. Is it not realistic that a young woman who fantasizes about certain things tries to deny what she really wants because it’s been drilled into her head that they’re bad, wrong and dangerous? That letting a man hit you is abuse? That putting yourself into a vulnerable position with a man and allowing that is the height of stupidity?


Maybe those of us who read a lot of BDSM romances think that everyone else in the world gets this. But I don’t think that’s the case. I bet there are a lot of people who don't get BDSM and do believe it's dangerous and wrong. And I think Sasha learning to accept that part of herself despite all those years of feeling shame and guilt was a more difficult journey than just one day admitting what she really wants and needs.

I think there are all kinds of sexual hang-ups that people work a lifetime to overcome, to not be ashamed of. I bet there are things some people never overcome and live their whole lives feeling ashamed of. I don’t think it’s a matter of just snapping out of it. What do you think?

Inspiration
I posted this pic in the release party the other night, but here it is for those who missed it...my inspiration for Jack in Sweet Obsession...

Sweet Obsession is now available!
Wine her, dine her. . .then untie her. 

Windy City Kink, Book 1




Sasha Bendel is a bundle of nerves as she knocks on the door of a Gold Coast penthouse. Her landscape design business took a hard hit when one of her biggest clients defaulted on his payment, and she desperately needs this rooftop garden design project to get back in the black. 

But when her potential client answers the door, she's stunned. It's her old high school boyfriend, the one her wealthy parents ran out of her life when they were discovered engaging in some youthful exploration of bondage and discipline. 

Twelve years ago, Jack Grenville let Sasha's powerful father intimidate him into giving up the love of his life. With the help of a sensei, he's overcome his obstacles and accepted his sexual dominance. Now he's back in Chicago to claim what's his--Sasha. 

One look at Jack brings back all the forbidden desires Sasha's put on lock-down since that shameful night. No way can she turn down this money-is-no-object job. . .but can she resist Jack's no-knots-barred determination to recapture her heart? 

Warning: This book contains a woman with a sweet tooth, a man with a sweet obsession, a cupboard full of bondage rope, and some not-so-sweet kink.

Cocktails and Books 5 Cocktails!

"...a delicious story that drew me in from the moment I started reading it.  The story is compelling, the characters are believable and down to earth and the sex scenes are realistic, provocative and scorching hot.   There are also some interesting secondary characters that I hope to see in future books.  Thank you, Kelly Jamieson for another amazing story."

 Night Owl Reviews 4 1/2 STARS

"The chemistry between Jack and Sasha is scorching. The sex scenes were blistering…I had a hard time putting this book down. I loved it. Overall, this was a fantastic book. I can’t wait for the next book in the series."


Ripe for Reader 4 ½ STARS 

"Ms. Jamieson very beautifully describes the internal struggle faced by Sasha in particular…This novel also holds one of the most beautiful Shibari scenes I have ever encountered, mostly described by using the senses.

Two weeks till Windy City Kink!
Yay! In only two weeks Sweet Obsession will be available!



I'm super excited about the release because it's the first book in a new series -- Windy City Kink. Now fear not, my books aren't all that kinky. :-)  But each couple in the series explores a slightly different fetish or kink. As always, my books are romantic and emotional and maybe even have a little humor. And hot. Yeah, hopefully hot.

Also there's one guy who appears in all three books who's a very unique character! I don't want to say too much because I want you all to meet him and hopefully love him.

 The books are all set mainly in Chicago. I say mainly, because there is some travel involved in Book 2 and Book 3.

 Book 1 Sweet Obsession is Sasha and Jack's story. I'll be talking more about them closer to release day, but they're an interesting couple. I didn't even know there was a name for their unique teenage exploration, but my editor told me about "lighters" - people who have an interest in BDSM even before puberty.

 Book 2 All Messed Up is Mallory and Joe's story. They meet in the airport when their flight gets delayed - a moment (or a night) out of time. They'll never see each other again...riiiiiight. All Messed Up will be out in November.

 Book 3 Playing with Fire (Warning - don't get attached to the title; I'm told I may have to change it) is Paige and Raff's story. Paige and Raff are both trying to escape their past, but Paige resists since Raff reminds her too much of her past. This book is planned for a January release.

Watch for cover reveals and more details about the series!

Here's a short snippet featuring the wine tasting scene Jason talks about:


He descended to his kitchen and returned with two beers. He handed her one and slid back into bed, propping pillows behind them, one arm around her. Keeping the conversation carefully off his past, they talked about his house, his neighbor, the weather. When he pressed kisses over her skin anywhere he could reach, her shoulder, the side of her neck, breathing in her scent, she giggled.
It was a sound he hadn’t heard enough of from her. He liked it. He tipped her chin up. “What’s so funny?”
She slanted a grin at him over her shoulder. “Your mouth is cold. And the beers reminded me of an old joke.”
He lifted one eyebrow, smiling back at her, delighted by her amusement.
“How you impress a woman,” she continued. “By complimenting her, kissing her, cuddling her. Send her flowers, hold her, wine her and dine her.”
“Uh huh.” He waited.
“And how you impress a man is―show up naked…with beer.”
He laughed. “Hmm. Works for me.”
Her eyes widened. “Hey. I have a case of wine in the trunk of my car.”
He grinned and stroked a strand of hair off her face. “Why do you have a case of wine in your trunk?”
“I don’t even remember now. But I’ll go get a bottle. It’s a really nice Cabernet Franc. I can give you a wine tasting lesson. Naked.” She shot him a sexy smile as he watched her roll out of bed and reach for her clothes.
He loved that idea.
“Don’t get dressed,” he said, following her out of bed. “I’ll go get the wine.”
So she grabbed his shirt instead of her own clothes and he stepped into a pair of loose sweat pants. In his shirt, big and loose on her slender frame, her hair tangled around her shoulders, lips kiss-swollen and eyes smudgy, she looked so goddamn sexy he wanted to tackle her and throw her back onto the bed and tie her up forever. Instead, he led the way down to his kitchen where her purse sat on the counter. She handed him the keys to her car with a smile and waited at the door as he retrieved the bottle.
He held it up as he came back into the kitchen. “I don’t have wine, but I do have wine glasses.” He opened the cupboard and pulled out two stemmed glasses.
“A corkscrew?” she asked, peeling off the wrapping on the top of the bottle. He pulled that out of a drawer too, and she handed the wine to him.
He let her pour the wine into the glasses, a deep ruby-plum color. She gave the glass a small, expert swirl, held it to her nose, then sipped it.
“You’re not going to spit it out, are you?” he asked. He didn’t know much about wine, but seemed to remember that tasting wine didn’t involve swallowing it.
“No, I’m not going to spit it out.” She gave him a flirty smile. “I’d rather swallow than spit.”
Jesus, Kendall Vioget had just made a dirty joke, with enough innuendo that his balls tightened. Nice.
