Guest Author: Juniper Bell

Ladies and gentlemen, today as our final interview victim we are joined by erotic romance author and my fellow Alaskan, the lovely and talented Juniper Bell! Today she's here to give us a glimpse into her upcoming release Restraining the Receptionist. Welcome, Juniper! (Applause!)

1. What's the weirdest misconception you've ever come across about being an Alaskan resident?

Everyone thinks I can see Russia from my house! Thank very much, Sarah Palin, for that pervasive misconception about Alaska. Actually, it’s true, I can see Russia when I’m hanging out on Sarah’s porch, slugging whiskey and shooting at the neighbors. But that hardly ever happens now that she’s so busy.

2. What movie or TV show is your personal guilty pleasure?

I secretly love the Barbie movies. I’m so grateful to my six-year-old stepdaughter, because without her I never would have been exposed to these masterpieces. Have you seen them? Barbie plays different characters and really shows off her range. Sometimes she’s an island princess, sometimes a Musketeer or a mermaid. She sings, dances, saves the world. And seriously, they always have an uplifting message about female friendship and empowerment. I’m going to miss them now that she’s growing out of her Barbie phase.

3. In your receptionist series, Ethan and Simon jockey for position in their unconventional relationship - which of them would fight dirtier in the competition for Dana's affections?

Ethan, without a doubt. Ethan has a fascinating, dangerous past, which will be revealed in Restraining the Receptionist. Simon and Ethan are both powerful men, but Ethan will do anything to survive and win. In this book, he saves Dana from a scary situation. He’s a strong, tough guy – the kind you want on your side.

4. Dana is an unconventional romance heroine - what's her idea of a dream date?

Dana likes adventure, particularly in the bedroom. Right now her happiest days are at work with Simon and Ethan. It would be nice if they took her out on a date. I’ll speak to them about that. Maybe they can take her to a fancy restaurant and do naughty things with the tiramisu.

5. What's next for you? Are there more receptionist stories on the way?

There may be another Receptionist story, because I have an idea about an uptight accountant showing up to audit the books. I think Dana could have fun with him. But you never know! I didn’t plan to write a second one. But I got requests for a sequel from readers, which was so incredibly flattering, how could I say no? In the meantime, my next book will be Go Deep, the next in a series of sexy books set during a very naughty winter festival in Alaska.

Thanks for having me, Vivi, and congratulations on the raging success of Serengeti Sunrise!

Thank you, Juniper! It's always a delight to have to visit. And now, a look at the soon-to-be released Restraining the Receptionist!

Every deal has a loophole.

…the Receptionist, Book 2

Dana Arthur’s new job with the firm of Cowell & Dirk is going well. Translation: the occasionally kinky ménage with her two bosses, Ethan and Simon, has been several months of politically incorrect bliss.

Except the relationship feels unbalanced. While Ethan is the undisputed master, the partners’ iron-clad agreement stipulates that Simon must be present as she performs her “duties”. And she senses there’s a subtle, powerful tug-of-war developing for more than just her body.

Simon had agreed to share the firm’s fiery, sensually daring receptionist…to a point. With Simon out of town, Ethan plans a feast of erotic temptations designed to have Dana begging him to break the deal. He didn’t realize his heart would be a casualty.

Once she surrenders to his wicked demands, Dana realizes there’s no going back. It’s time for a three-way renegotiation…this time, all or nothing.
