Free Read from Noble Romance

Sparkles Christmas Contest

A naughty, nasty, fun fetish free read from Jude Mason and Noble Romance Publishing. Santa and his lusty, lucky elves hold a contest.

Some of you may remember Sparkle from Sparkles Lusty Christmas, and yes, it's that same cheeky woman. This time around, she's invited her cousin Tinsel to help her over the holiday rush. Will Sparkle win the chance to ride on Santa's sleigh Christmas Eve?

A little warning. Sparkle is into a fetish that may not be to everyone's liking. She adores to have her breasts tormented, in kind of a rough manner.

Top 10 Reasons Why Christmas Trees Are Better Than Men

Happy Holidays from Jenna Byrnes!

Last week Rhian was wondering how it got to be December. Well here it is, the 12th, and I'm still wondering. I do finally have a 'plan' for Christmas. I've bought a total of two gifts and feel damned good about that! I actually don't have many to buy this year, my family is taking a trip and we're planning to shop for our own presents while we're there. So I'm not really in the pathetic shape I sound like. *grin* However, if you're expecting a card from me, don't hold your breath.

Top 10 Reasons Why Christmas Trees Are Better Than Men

10. It gets turned on only when you want it turned on.
9. You don't have to put up with a Christmas tree all year.
8. You can throw a Christmas tree out when it wears out.
7. A Christmas tree doesn't get mad if you break one of its balls.
6. A Christmas tree has cute balls.
5. A Christmas tree is always happy with its size.
4. A Christmas tree always looks good - even when it's lit.
3. A Christmas tree stays up for 12 days and nights.
2. Even small ones give satisfaction.
1. A Christmas tree is always erect.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! ~ Jenna

The 'Kilt Question' - Finally Answered

By Jenna Byrnes

What exactly do men wear under those kilts? Many of us have wondered this over the years. I found a few pictures to satisfy our curiosity.

This one needs no caption. The expressions on those faces? Priceless!

Oops! Marilyn Monroe, eat your heart out.

Oops, part two.

Anyone for a tall, cold one?

Wonder how she felt when she saw this? LMAO!

These pictures aren't new, but they're certainly good for a smile. I'd love to be able to tell you I have some Scottish book at Noble Romance to ties these photos in to, but I don't. I write contemporary stories set in the good old U.S. of A. (Okay, sometimes Canada...) But my stories are also good for a smile, so stop by Noble and check them out.

Have a lovely weekend and remember to take time to smile whenever possible!

In Someone Else’s Skin

By Jenna Byrnes

When I began writing, I didn’t know squat about ‘point of view’. The hero thought one thing, in the next paragraph the heroine thought something else. I head-hopped like crazy, and actually felt it was important to let the reader know what everyone was thinking at all times. It was a shock to find out that wasn’t the ‘correct’ way to write. Some of my favorite romance authors head hopped, and if they could do it… Hmm. Never mind. I was a beginner, and it just wasn’t allowed. I had to choose a P.O.V., or at least one P.O.V. per chapter, and stick with it. Writing in the male P.O.V. has turned out to be great fun for me. There’s a certain freedom to write like a man might speak. I’m not saying all men cuss, and I know some women who swear like sailors on leave. But somehow, when a guy utters a vulgarity, it doesn’t seem like as big a deal as when a woman does. In my mind, while a woman might use the word ‘breasts’, a man might just as easily call them ‘t*ts’. Men are more into bodily function jokes than most women. (Not all of this is true about everybody- so please, no nasty emails. I’m generalizing.) Of course, all people are different, so sometimes I like to break out of the stereotypical roles and let my characters say or do something totally unexpected.

Bottom line, it depends on the character, and what type of a persona I’m trying to establish. At one time, I had an editor check me, when my male character said something was ‘lovely’. She questioned, and I agreed, that a guy might not call the view, or flowers, lovely. Again, this depends on the guy. Some of them might not notice the view at all, unless it was of a woman's rear end! I’m not a huge sports person but my husband is, so I use his knowledge and expertise when I want to throw sports tidbits into my stories. And I use the internet constantly for research of one kind or another. I enjoy the male P.O.V. so much that I took it one step further, writing m/m erotic romance. I’ve written lesbian stuff, and I still write m/f. But I’m having the most fun writing about guys, and their relationships with each other. Love is love. I'm having fun exploring all different aspects of it. Which is what it’s all about to me. Writing what I enjoy, and finding some readers to take along on the adventure. I hope you’ll check out my titles at Noble Romance Publishing and my website. And have a great day!

Two great reviews for What Happens in Vegas

Two reviews for my Naughty Nibble, What Happens in Vegas, and both are wonderful!


Erotic Horizon says, "A sweet treat from Jenna Byrnes and there is nothing to complain about in this short story. The story start off with a scenario that drags me in and before I knew it – I was caught up in the drama that was evolving in this one night in Vegas. The pace was fast and the language edgy and the combination made the book quiet a read.

This is clearly where Ms Byrnes excels, she certainly knows how to pack a story into a few pages and after a few weeks without my usual fix from her – I was loving WHAT HAPPENS IN VEGAS." Read the whole review here.

Literary Nymphs gave the story 4.5 Nymphs. Scandalous Minx says, "Steve’s reactions to his situations are dead on. Fear, anticipation and fervor all come through clearly, helping me connect with the character and feel his emotions. I found this fast-paced story interesting and would love to find out what happens after Vegas." Read the whole review here.

Have a great day! I'm enjoying every minute of my vacation, talk to you more soon!

Now available: What Happens in Vegas by Jenna Byrnes

What Happens in Vegas

In Vegas on a week-long business trip, attorney Steve Elliot isn't as interested in buxom strippers as his co-workers, Jake and Dylan, seem to be. Steve has other interests, and at the first opportunity, leaves the strip club for a nearby gay bar. To his surprise, Dylan follows him there, hoping for a chance to get Steve alone. After a quick battle with his conscience about dating a co-worker, Steve relents and goes back to the hotel with the younger, sexy man.

Their night of passion ends abruptly as Dylan's past comes back to haunt him in Sin City. Will Steve and Jake be forced to pay the price for Dylan's prior indiscretions? (m/m)

Spank Me Once Anthology: One Good Outcome by Jenna Byrnes

Chapter One

In a firm, humorless voice, Mistress Ginger said, "Drop to your knees."

Not one to shirk directions, Steve Cannon did as instructed.

"Now lean forward," she said, nudging his bare ass with her shoe.

He leaned forward and placed his hands on the floor. A nervous flutter coursed through him right up to his gut as his balls shifted in the sac.

"Cold?" Her smooth leather shoe rubbed the underside of his testes.

"No, Ma'am." The room felt warm enough, but his precious jewels were exposed, available for whatever she had in mind. His stomach clenched and he wondered what she might be planning.

Sliding her hand between his thighs, she massaged his heavy sac. A feather-light touch of fingers sped over his burgeoning erection and retreated. A squeeze would have been too good to be true. She'd never played with his cock so early in the evening before. First she'd torment him, and he knew it. Loved it.

"You're getting hard," she said. "Remember to practice self-control. If you make a mess on the floor, I'll make you lick it up."

"Yes, Ma'am." He swallowed. She'd follow through on the threat, and the idea didn't excite him. One thing to lick the floor at his place or her condo; he could handle such a task. But the floor in a BDSM club--even an exclusive establishment like Delilah's--wouldn't be very clean. He focused on the wall and went over a legal brief in his head, anything to keep from becoming too aroused.

She circled around until she stood in front of him. He stared straight ahead and saw her black fishnet stockings and the thin garter belt holding them up. He dared not look any higher without permission, although he could smell her musky scent. God, stealing a peek tempted him.

"Are you thinking about work?"

"No, Ma'am,"he said and changed his answer. "Yes, Ma'am."

She ran her fingers through his thick mass of black hair and grasped a handful. "Don't lie to me. You know what happens when I catch you in a lie."

I know. Exactly why I do it.

Spank Me Once

New Year's Resolutions by Stormy Glenn

Jamie is looking for someone to give him a little discipline. Nothing major, just a light spanking will do just fine. When he spots Simon at a New Year's Eve party, he knows he's met a man who can make his New Year's resolutions come true. (m/m)

Oh Behave by Jude Mason

Cathy James meets a man at the local pool on one of her layovers, Nate Shaw. A couple of things get Cathy's attention about Nate. He does as he's told, and he's easily excited by being asked to behave. A few months down the road, Nate has a mishap and is in for a spanking. Poor Nate is beside himself after a couple of hours of teasing and torment. Will he be able to stand his punishment? Will Cathy accept him for the weak willed man he is? (f/m)

One Good Outcome by Jenna Brynes

Steve Cannon's been naughty. He's naughty a lot, because a spanking from Mistress Ginger is one of his favorite things in the world.

Someone sends photos taken at the BDSM club to Steve at his office. He and Ginger are forced to track down the bad boy and determine his punishment.

Exactly what Devon Pierce had in mind. He's naughty, too, and desperate for his handsome boss and Mistress Ginger to notice. (m/f/m)

Serving Lisa by Martin Delacroix

Lane's a college student with a secret: he needs discipline from a mature woman. Visiting a website called Cruel Mistress, he finds a listing by a German couple, Lisa and Andreas. They seek a young man who "craves naked discipline" to "service the lady of the house." When Lane responds, his life is quickly transformed in ways he'd never imagined. (m/f/m)
