Guest Post by Queen B from the ever so funny blog Royally Bitchy
As some of you may know, I love KC for many, many reasons. The greatest among them? Our mutual love for Jaid Black. Who is Jaid Black, you say? *gasp and sputter* You don’t know the mighty charms of Jaid Black and her underground dwelling, wife stealing Viking Warlords? Or her mighty alien kings who have the stamina of and are hung like a water buffalo on viagra? Egads! Well, let me tell you ALL about it my friends……
How can you not love a book with a cover like this?

It’s fabulous, is it not?! You know there is going to be shameless sexorin and unapologetically alpha men in that thar book. And there is! There’s capture and orgies with alien chicks that have boobies the size of small dirigibles and men hung like oxen and have the sex drive of an energizer bunny of speed. There’s cavemen antics meets futuristic sci fi……it’s like Conan in space….only FABULOUS! And never fear my loves……there is a whole series of these books at Ellora’s Cave. Go. Seek. Devour. I shall never judge you ill for your love of Jaid Black. Nevah.
And of course, the piece de resistance (I had to google that, shhh…don’t tell anyone), and my personal fave series by her. Drum roll please *flashes to Clark Griswold in Christmas Vacation and sings JOY TO THE WORLD…)………….

The awesomeness that is her underground dwelling, muscle bound, bride stealing, Viking Warlords! Squeeeee!
These are a series, a couple of which are novellas found in anthologies like the one above (which is fab ’cause you also get Kresley Cole vamp/valkyrie hawtness!), and at least one is a novel all on it’s own. These are so great! They are pure and total naughty fantasy indulgence. If you’re going to put your feminist cap on and if you’re going to be bothered by piddling things like “reality” then please don’t read these. Don’t ruin the fun for the rest of us. *sticks out tongue like a 5 y.o. with pigtails*
These men are big and strong warriors that melt like dripping candle wax for their true love. And they are animals in the sack. *fans self* I LOVE IT AND I’M NOT ASHAMED!! *sobs*
I don’t know what it is about Ms. Black that I can’t resist. I put up with tropes and writing issues and insane suspension of reality, morals and personal no no space, that I would never put up with from another author. I can’t help it, she’s my crack. If loving her and her muscle bound animalistic heroes is wrong, then I don’t want to be right!
I know I can’t be the only snarky, modern, level headed woman that has a special weakness for certain books that I probably shouldn’t. So ‘fess up y’all and let me know I’m not alone (besides KC). What books or what author do you find you love even though all reason says you shouldn’t? What series can you just not quit even though you know you should break up, but you just can’t quit him/her/them? Tell B and Smokin all about it. You’ll feel better, I promise. *crosses legs, pushes up glasses and prepares to take notes*

KC:I just can’t quit you Ms. Black. I blame Jaid Black for my Viking obsession and for maybe purchasing hubs a fur jock strap while away on vacay. Thanks B for coming on today and discussing one of my favorite guilty pleasure authors Jaid Black.

Bravo! LOL. This is too funny because I’m working on a post about Ms. Ellora’s Cave herself, and I’m thrilled to see I’m not the only one addicted to her dirty, outlandish stories. I devoured her Trek Mi Q’an series. Knowing there are others out there like me, I am coming out of the closet to say that I’M NOT ASHAMED EITHER!!!
LOVE you guys <3
LMAO!!
I have never read Jaid Black but after this post I am going to put her on my TBR list!
I nearly choked on my morning bagel when I read “There’s capture and orgies with alien chicks that have boobies the size of small dirigibles and men hung like oxen and have the sex drive of an energizer bunny of speed.”
LOL!! Too funny!
MsM
Although I haven’t read one of her books in a few years I did enjoy them. The Trek Mi Q’an series rocked! Liked the Vikings too.
You all are too kind. Rally, dahlings.
I was so happy when I found a Jaid Black lovin soul mate in KC. Come out of the closet girls, the kool aids fine!
Goddammit! Now I have ANOTHER author that I am dying to read!!!!! You had me at:
“There’s capture and orgies with alien chicks that have boobies the size of small dirigibles and men hung like oxen and have the sex drive of an energizer bunny of speed.”
I love Kresley Cole and have seen Playing Hard To Get but never picked it up because I knew nothing of it. Looks like I’m going to be buying more books… *sigh*
Nicely done, Queen B
P
Holy Moly! I have got to read Jaid Black’s books! This post was hilarious and educational at the same time. LOL!
@Spaz I seem to get a lot of ppl with that line *ponders* And, BWAHAHAHAHA, my plan for Jaid Black world domination is coming together nicely……
@Bells You really should. These are too good to miss.
I could read Jaid Black and not be ashamed… but that cover bugs me. I know she is an alien, but they are just not in the correct position. Although, I had to lol at your description.
Great guest post!! I haven’t read Jaid Black in ages-I think a re-discovery is in order! (Plus I wasn’t as into smut as I am now.)
@Melissa Yeah, the covers are part of the joy of Jaid Black. You should really go on Ellora’s Cave and check out all the cover lovin goodness for her over there.
@Colette Thanks! Yeah, you must re-discover them with your greater love of smut.
Love the post! I haven’t read Jaid Black yet but I do love me some ridiculous alien smexing from time to time! That No Mercy cover is some kind of awesome!
Hung like a water buffalo on viagra? I’m scared.
You should be my friend. Scared and titillated.
Agreed! I love Jaid Black. Her books are insanely addictive, political correctness be damned. I know Ellora’s Cave is all “modern” now with the contemporary book covers (lol, still love them), but her early book covers are some of my favorites EVER. I cherish my entire Trek Mi Q’an collection.
haha too funny! Thx to Erica for pointing this out to me… i needed the ego boost as i finish my next Underground Viking book
xx
@Jaid Black how exciting both Broke and I have been avid fans of your sexy viking books for years. You were the author that got me started reading naughty erotic romance *air kisses*
@Jaid Black Squeeeeee! *clears throat* I mean, thanks for reading our lil post here. We love you!! And OMG did you say more vikings?! *rubs hands together* Bring it on, baby
I was looking for some missing KC books in my series, one of which is “playing easy to get” when I came upon some reviews for Jaid Black’s Viking Series, it piqued my interest because lets be honest, all woman have a fantasy of the perfect guy coming and stealing us away from all our worries and stress filled modern women lives and just be dominated for once, let the guy who worships us do all the thinking and pleasuring, or should I say I like to think all women do to put me in the “normal” category, lol. Honestly the Viking Series after reading about it wasn’t my cup of tea. But the Trek Series….that sounded GReEAT!!. Only Problem is I am a must read in order and must own type gal, so the hunt for the first one cheaply is now my mission….Although Google put the first 70 pages of “the empress new clothes” online, which I quickly devoured….So I may just have to shell out the 15 bucks at Barnes and Noble to get it TOMORROW…..Patience is not a virtue…lol
Found Jaid Black when I picked up Playing Hard to Get to read Kresley Cole’s vamp/valkyrie tale. Was thrilled to find a new author I enjoyed. If you like these you might check out Christine Feehan’s paranormal romance ‘Game’ series. More super-hot, dominant men who discover their mates. Very well written and suspenseful. Shameless pleasure, and my husband teases me mercilessly, but he never seems to mind the mood I’m in when he comes to bed… ;o)
