~Ryan


Everything was perfect.  I’d never been more proud of her as I stood beside her and listened to her words.  Being so close to her over the years had made me take for granted how well read and educated she was, and how well she carried herself.  Maybe taking her for granted was the wrong word, but this certainly reminded me how amazing she was. 
She looked so stunning that I found my eyes locked on her constantly, sometimes forgetting to breathe.  Pride swelled my chest like a peacock’s.  This was her party, this was her world, and she handled it with calm, elegant precision.  Later, with me, she’d alternate between lascivious and loving, tender and taking, but always passionate.  She spoke to me without words, when our eyes would connect and the edges of that gorgeous mouth would lift in a sly smile, flirting and letting the tip of her tender, pink tongue peak out to lick her lip or bite her lower one.   I was rock hard just looking at her, and I needed to adjust myself badly.  I hoped no one noticed.
Julia was holding an almost-empty glass of white wine in her right hand.  She leaned in to excuse herself from the matronly woman she was speaking to and glided toward me.  I couldn’t help it, my arm snaked around her waist and pulled her close enough that she could feel the effect she had on me.  My open lips found the pulse at her temple and lingered on the warm skin and she sighed.  I could feel her breath rush over the skin of my neck, and my arm tightened.
“When can you leave?  I can’t wait to get you alone.”
“Mmmm…” her fingers curled into the front of my shirt and pressed into my abdomen.  I could hear the desire in her purr.  “Just after midnight.  What time is it?”
“11:40.”  The music playing throughout the room was classical but the din of voices was constant.  I longed for when the only sound in my ears was her breathing and soft moans.  “We’re almost there.”
She looked up into my face with lazy, hooded eyes. “Are we?” she teased softly and pressed her hip into my erection. 
“Soon,” I said with a smile and bent to kiss her mouth.  I didn’t care if she spilled her wine, or if I happened to drop the glass in my hand; I didn’t care that there were 400 people around us.  My tongue pushed hungrily into her mouth, and though our surroundings gave her a second’s hesitation, soon she was returning the kiss in full measure.  I pulled her tighter, kissing her deeply.  She reluctantly pulled her mouth away, but mine wanted to cling to hers.
“Ryan.  I’m working.”
“I know.  I can’t help it.  You’re so beautiful tonight.”
I scanned the room over her head as her lips brushed my jaw, and my eyes locked with a pair of blue ones not twelve feet in front of us.  My heart stopped.

A LOVE LIKE THIS Cover Reveal & Giveaway!

Here you go peeps!  It's finally here!
Ta da!





Settled in New York City, Ryan and Julia Matthews seek to enjoy their idyllic newlywed life together.  Julia’s high-profile job at Vogue and Ryan’s promising career in medicine will surely set them up for everything they could ever want.  Their only obstacle seems to be finding enough time to spend together.

When a scuffle at Ryan’s hospital puts his life in danger, a colleague steps in to save him but is critically injured in the process.  In a heroic and unwavering effort, 
Ryan manages to save her life, but her injuries irrevocably change her future forever.

What happens next will push Ryan beyond human endurance, when he is forced to decide how much he will pay for his new friendship and Julia, what she is willing to sacrifice in order to spare herself the unspeakable pain of watching someone else try to replace her in Ryan’s heart.

Join Ryan and Julia in the heart-wrenching conclusion 
to the unforgettable story of an incredible love…
worth every single sacrifice…

For there is nothing more sacred than… A Love Like This…

(SQUEEING HUGE!) :-)

FIFTY SHADES OF GREY to the second power meets Keisha and Jada from the Block. 

If you've wondered how an ethnic girl from the hood might've handled an arrangement with an experienced white Dominant, this is your book. If you'd like to see the sexiest TWIN DOMS in a contemporary romance series in interracial relationships, this is most definitely your book. 

Aspiring recording studio owners, Keisha Beale and Jada Jameson, score a rare meeting with venture capitalist Tristan White, and are thrust into a world beyond their wildest imaginations. 

Street-wise Keisha is startled to realize she wants this rich white man, despite the certainty that he is out of her league. Unable to resist Keisha's sassy, irreverent, and fiercely independent spirit, Tristan knew from day one he wanted her, too--as his first African American submissive. 

Upper Class Jada of the Springfield Jamesons has traveled in almost the same circles as the White brothers, and has had a secret crush on Nathan White, the point guard for the Chicago Bulls, for quite some time. 

Both brothers have succumbed to jungle fever, and want a little coffee in their cream. 

Lured by Tristan White and his offer of fronting the capital for her business in exchange for kinky sex, Keisha finds herself with no other option. Keisha is also tortured by a demons from her past, and her inability to come to terms with them threatens to undermine the future of her business and her tumultuous, unconventional relationship with Tristan White. 

Erotic, amusing, and in places hilarious, the Ghetto Girl Erotica Trilogy is a parody with a unique take on a Fifty Shades-type story that will take you even further into the BDSM world, and promises to make the vanilla original Fifty Shades Blacker. 

The first two books focus on Keisha and Tristan's romance, and the final two focus on Jada and Nathan's.

He’s the eighteen-year-old lifeguard at the pool. I’m a twenty-eight-year-old woman babysitting for the summer, before going to grad school. He’s one step away from jailbait (his birthday was eight days ago. Yes, I checked). I’m not necessarily a cougar yet, but closer to cougar than high school girl. He’s hot, and by hot, I mean holy crap. And by holy crap, I mean, when I first saw him, I thought he was twenty-one. Minimum. But he’s not twenty-one. He’s eighteen and off limits. But he has this back and these shoulders and everything about him is yummy and I just want to touch him. Once.

3000 LIKE Teaser!

I promised a teaser for every 1000 LIKES Milestone on my FB Author page so...

Here is the first one for the 3000 Like Milestone!



I kissed her hand again, my lips brushing reverently over and over.  “I know.  I really wanted to be alone with you tonight.”
She could have berated me.  She had every right, but she didn’t. Instead; she ran a finger on the hand that I was holding, down the line of my jaw.  “We’re alone now.  It’s okay.”
“Yes, but most of tonight is over,” I said regretfully.  I felt the loss, big time.
“It’s okay.  See, the thing is, you’re stuck with me forever, so there will be other evenings.”
My heart filled.  She was fucking perfect.  I ruined our plans and she was still so fucking perfect. 


Keep in mind as we get closer to 10,000  the teasers will get longer and WHEN we get to 10K I will release the entire two first chapters of the book!

Please tell your friends to give the series a shot and ask them to LIKE me on FB, Like Ryan on FB and to follow on twitter @ Kahlen_Aymes & @DrRyanMatthews.

Thank you!  Back to writing A Love Like This!

His hand ran down my back and up again, his fingers curled and the nails scratched softly.  Such an innocent touch, yet so arousing because it was Ryan.  I knew what those hands and mouth were capable of and my body reacted of its own accord.  He surged against me and I knew we wouldn’t be sleeping anytime soon.  The answering throbbing started deep within me and I sighed against him, giving in to the deep-seated need the never ebbed.
I should have known he could read me like a book.  His eyes never left mine and his hands moved down around both of my upper arms and bring me up so his mouth could close hotly over mine.  Lately, he was ruining my plans to take care of him, to give him a massage, let him sleep or to taste him.  He’d been so hungry for my body under his and his mouth on mine that I couldn’t deny him anything.  His urgency echoed my own.
My hands slid into his hair as we kissed over and over, rolling around frantically on the bed until the covers were on the floor and my legs were curled around his waist.  The air was cool on my bare skin wherever his body wasn’t covering mine, but the tremors weren’t caused by the cold.
“Uh….Juuuliiiaaa,” he groaned, as his body finally came into mine and we moved together in the love dance that was so familiar but surprising in its magnificence at the same time.   He whispered against the erratically beating pulse at the base of my neck before dragging his mouth up over my jaw and back to my lips, “Is it wrong to be this happy when other people are hurting so badly?  God, baby,” he grunted as I arched up to take him deeper into the warmth of my body.
I could feel every inch of him as we brought each other to depths of pleasure that transcends the physical, both of us panting love words and calling each other’s names over and over again, fingertips gently digging at the other’s flesh.  Ryan loved hearing my sighs and moans, so I let them all out as he brought my body to fulfillment.  Words weren’t necessary between us as we worshiped each other with our bodies and our mouths.  It was breathtaking and soul shattering every time.  Tonight our lovemaking was laced with a bit of the desperation we felt for our friends’ plight and the longing we would suffer in the coming days when we were apart; our kisses deepened and the touches became more clinging.
He filled me in every way.  Heart, body and soul; I was bursting and I could feel the intensity and desperation that drove Ryan on as he made love to me as no one else ever could, touching me in places I didn’t even know existed.  It was everything; it was amazing...  

NOTES:  There is another LIKE challenge.  WHEN my personal Facebook Page reaches 10,000 LIKES  I'll release the first 25 PAGES of A Love Like This!  

I'll be at the RT Convention in Kansas City on May 2 for signing. (I'm there most of the week, so if you're in the area, please let me know) and also at the Book Bash in Orlando on June 29th!  I'd love to meet you!  And please SUBSCRIBE TO THIS BLOG if you haven't done so, yet. Thank you!

Hope you liked the excerpt. :-)
