The Winemaker’s Dinner: RSVP
Meet Dr. Ivan Rusilko: He’s a doctor at a world-class medical facility in Miami, he’s got a killer apartment on Miami Beach that overlooks Biscayne Bay and the Miami skyline, and he’s got a great group of friends and quite the social schedule. It’s a pretty damned charmed life, but something’s missing. He’d love a special someone to share it with—someone to laugh with, share his dreams with, and someone to just plain tickle his fancy. After a string of utterly forgettable blind dates and with no real prospects on the horizon, it’s time to take action. On the long drive from Miami Beach to Sarasota, Florida, for the annual Winemaker’s Dinner, Ivan makes a decision. He’s taking charge of his love life—and his fate.

RSVP is a short-story prequel to the highly anticipated erotic romance The Winemaker’s Dinner: Appetizers by co-authors Dr. Ivan Rusilko and Everly Drummond. RSVP is an introduction to the romantic hero and real-life author Dr. Ivan Rusilko, and it marks the good doctor’s solo writing debut.

The Winemaker’s Dinner: No Reservations
Jaden Thorne is living the dream. Well, not exactly the dream, but her dream—if you call working sixteen-hour days in a hot kitchen a dream, which she does. She’s the executive chef at the hottest new restaurant in Miami Beach, and she’s worked her ass off to get there. When her boss suddenly falls ill, she’s gifted two tickets to the premiere food and wine event of the season. Jaden jumps at the opportunity to network, and with her best friend, Tasha, in tow, she’s soon on a road trip to Sarasota, Florida, for the Winemaker’s Dinner—and a good time.

No Reservations is a short-story prequel to the highly anticipated fictionalized erotic romance The Winemaker’s Dinner: Appetizers by co-authors Dr. Ivan Rusilko and Everly Drummond. No Reservations is an introduction to the romantic heroine in the series, Jaden Thorne, and is written by erotic romance author Everly Drummond.

The Winemaker’s Dinner: Appetizers
Recently named executive chef at one of Miami Beach’s hottest restaurants, Jaden Thorne is determined to make her culinary mark and fulfill her professional dreams. When Jaden is given highly coveted tickets to the ultra-exclusive Winemaker’s Dinner, she jumps at the opportunity to meet South Florida’s wealthiest and most influential food and wine enthusiasts.

Jaden’s eyes are drawn to the VIP section even before the appetizers appear, but she soon finds herself thinking less about networking and more about the intriguingly sexy stranger eying her from across the room. After dinner, what begins as a light-hearted flirtation unexpectedly catapults into a night of explosive passion. But when morning dawns, Jaden leaves her sleeping Mr. Oh So Sexy behind, sure they’ll never see each other again.

Dr. Ivan Rusilko, a handsome, young physician, boasts an extensive resume’ and a well-established position on Miami Beach’s social scene. But despite his success and glamour, he’s routinely had to suffer uninspiring dates and doomed relationships. With a romantic heart, Ivan’s not the love-‘em-and-leave-‘em type. But when he awakens to find that the girl in the red dress has done exactly that, he resolves to find her–only if it’s just to ask why she left without even a kiss goodbye.

The Winemaker’s Dinner is a fictionalized erotic memoir inspired by the romantic triumphs and tragedies of Dr. Ivan Rusilko’s real life. Weaving fact with fantasy, authors Everly Drummond and Dr. Ivan Rusilko have gifted readers with a swoon-worthy flesh-and-blood romantic hero and the intoxicating bouquet only a heartfelt tale of passionate love can create.

The Winemaker’s Dinner: Entree
Dr. Ivan Rusilko has got it bad. He’s in love—with life, his work, and his baby girl, Jaden Thorne. The nearly 3000 miles between Miami and L.A. that once threatened their happily-ever-after now seem nothing more than a mere geographical challenge—nothing a few hours on a plane and a sexy weekend rendezvous can’t trump. No time apart is too long to keep him from wanting her in his arms and in his bed. He’s absolutely sure Jaden is his dream come true.

Jaden Thorne is living the life she’s always wanted. She’s got her one-in-a-million job on a TV cooking show, she’s achieved celebrity chef status, and she’s in a committed relationship with her perfect guy… Then the network’s surprise decision to add a co-host to her show takes a bite out of her perfectly balanced life and career. With a new man in the mix, living the dream gets a whole lot more complicated both personally and professionally.

When the emotional, mental, and physical paths of true love’s course collide with frustration, secrets, and assumptions, will Ivan and Jaden pay the price? Does their dream-come-true cost something neither can afford?

The Winemaker’s Dinner: Entrée is a decadent meal of passion, sex, and secrets, inspired by the real romantic life of Dr. Ivan Rusilko. Authors Everly Drummond and Dr. Ivan Rusilko have turned up the heat in this emotional follow up to The Winemaker’s Dinner: Appetizers, expertly executing their unique recipe for blending fact and fantasy, with more than a dash of passion and sex.

Pam’s 5 star review of Grounded
With book three of the Up In The Air Trilogy we are promised no less than a thrill ride!  So place your chair in its upright and locked position, stow your try tables and fasten your seat belts because you are in for a ride!  

Book Description:

“James and Bianca’s story draws to a close in the explosive conclusion to the Up In The Air Trilogy.


After a short but earnest courtship, Bianca can no longer deny her feelings for James, and though she’s tried her hardest, she can’t help but see that he cares deeply for her, as well. In a completely uncharacteristic move, she has put aside her misgivings and agreed to live with the enigmatic billionaire. Is her leap of faith the beginning of something wonderful, or is it too much, too fast?

As James and Bianca feel a growing need for each other that neither can deny, circumstances beyond their control intervene, trying to tear them apart. Amidst the ever mounting threat of a monster who wants Bianca dead, and the constant pitfalls of an indiscreet past that James can’t seem to escape, can these two passionate lovers manage to find their happily ever after?”



With her murderess father still on the hunt and the new knowledge of her step mother’s death Bianca finds herself falling deeper in love with James.  He is the man she can turn to and the man that helps keeps her grounded.  Bianca is finding it hard to open her heart to anyone other than Stephen.  Stephen and Bianca share an unbreakable bond that’s started from day one.  Bianca is starting to see that there is room in heart and James is just the person to fill that void.  Bianca is faced with life changing events and a constant 24/7 security watch.  James fears for her life and will not take any chances on the love of this life.  Her world is changed in a blink of an eye and James may find that he can’t control everything.   
I was so excited to get my hands on this one!  I fell in love with the first two books and the third one was no different.  James Cavendish is one HOT man and the stuff book boyfriends are made of!  I found myself wanting to wave a hand in the air and yell…pick me!!!  Sadly I came to my senses.  I love the fact that R.K. Lilley showed the bonds that friendship creates and that family is what you make it.  In a world of the “modern family” it was truly touching to see the bond that Stephan and Bianca shared and the fact that they both pushed each other to be the best they could be.  Grounded rounded out this trilogy well and I thoroughly enjoyed the way the story unfolded.  I am very excited for what’s to come from R.K. Lilley now that this flight has ended!

Blog Tour Destined to Change by Lisa Harley: Interview with Cade

This guy is too much!!! I mean, who in his right mind would like to be interviewed in a bar? Only Cade Walker can pull such stunt!

Well, I guess I had no other choice but to go ALONE since my partner Pam did some last minute errands. I would have to admit that I am a bit excited though…to finally meet this manwhore and see for myself why Lor had a hard time saying NO!

So I started raiding my closet and looked for something cute to wear. Did I just say cute? Why do I even bother to dress up? Mmmm something must be wrong!

Gotcha! I decided to be a little bit girly tonight but without losing the toughness. I don’t want him to think that I’m one of those “dress to impress” girls! So I took a shower, dried my hair, put a little make up on and dolled myself up with this cute lacy white dress that perfectly matched my brutal biker boots and accessories. I was ready to go!

           

We agreed to meet at 8, but I arrived way too early so I decided to just sit at the bar and ordered some coke zero. I don’t want to feel all tipsy while doing the interview anyways. Just when I’m about to have my first gulp, I felt a hot hard body behind me. I don’t need to turn around to know who it was. A strong, deep but sexy as hell voice started to speak.

”Need some company?” Hell of course, I came here for you duh!!!

So just to get this over with, I finally turned around and got the biggest surprise of my life! Whoa! This man is gorgeous! He’s about 6’7” tall, blonde hair, muscular body, intense green eyes that just by staring at it, I know I would be in trouble. He led the way to one of the farthest booth and I followed him, still holding on with my coke zero. 

Curiously looking what I have in my hand he said.

“So Cris, I don’t mean to offend but you’re such a baby! You sure you’re allowed to enter a bar?”

This guy is a prick! “Hey! Im short I know but that doesn’t mean my 5’2 height can’t kick your sweet huge ass.” Ooops, where did it come from?

“Whoa, hold your horses chickie! Just making sure. I don’t want to end this beautiful night in handcuffs for taking a child to a bar who apparently checks on my sweet huge ass! I love being tied up in cuffs you know, but somewhere comfy and cozy at least, not behind the bars! So tell me, was it really huge?”

This guy is impossible and not to mention very conceited! “Please Cade, this is something serious! I need to get this done asap so can we just get it on and start with the questions? And please don’t call me chickie! I’m not one of your girls that you can play at. I’m here for business, and if for one second you can’t pretend to be one, then I’m outta here!” Im ready to leave but his heated grip on my left hand suddenly stopped me.

“Stay! Please stay! I promise to be serious. It’s just that this whole interview thing is a first to me, babe. So I guess you would have to put up with my…uhhmmm mmmm uneasiness?”

“You? Cade Walker? Uneasy? Never in a million years. Oh well, whatever! Can I start with my questions?”

“Yeah, but please let me buy you a drink first, just a small peace offering for being a jackass.”

“Ok fine and just so you wouldn’t call me chickie anymore! Jack and coke please.”

As the server left our table to get our drinks, I put out my ipad and threw in my first question.

Cris: So Cade, since we didn’t hear so much about you in the story, well aside from the fact that you took advantage of Lor while she was all drunk and tipsy, can you tell us more about yourself?

Cade: Ouch! You really think that low of me huh! And just for a disclaimer, I didn’t take advantage of her! It’s a consensus decision by 2 adults having a good time.

Cris: You mean two intoxicated adults huh? So Cade, tell us your story. Who is the real Mr. Walker and what does he want from life?

Cade: There’s really not a lot to tell. I’m just a good ole country boy from a small town in Missouri. I grew up on a big ranch and when my parents died it became mine. I may seem like I’m all about having a good time, but my number one concern is the success of my ranch and carrying on the Walker name in a way to make my parents proud. Even though I lost them years ago, I’ll never forget the love they shared. My daddy loved my momma more than anything in the world. The way his eyes would light up when she would walk into a room…damn. I never thought I’d feel that…but I did when I met Lor. 

As he told his story, my eyes immediately found his adorable lips, his voice rumbled through me. God it was sexy! I suddenly became jealous of Lor and wondered how those lips would feel in mine. Hey Cris, get a grip! That was my subconscious mind talking to me. When he caught me almost drooling, Cade just grinned and said.


Cade: Hey Cris, you okay?

Cris: Uhhmm sure, just didn’t take you as one with real sense. But then why you don’t do relationships and opt for casual sex? Was it about a traumatic experience in the past?

Cade: No traumatic experience, hon. I mean you like sex don’t ya? (He says with a devilish smirk.) Sex is fun…really fun. I just never thought I would find a love like my parents shared. I guess my standards were set pretty high.

Wow sex… S E X! I felt a sudden tingle in my nipple as I watch his mouth utter those words. While I bit my nails I then moved on with my next question.

Cris: So Cade, tell me, would you let anyone stand in the way of your woman? I mean like a pierced, tattooed hottie?

Cade: Cris, I like you, so I’m just gonna tell you this one time: this interview will end real damn quick if we start talking about that asshat.

Cris: Oh! I’m sorry, okay moving on to the next. So why Lor? What is it about her that makes it all different? I mean, why feel the need to pursue her?

Cade: I can’t really tell ya why, Cris. I just feel something strong for her…in my heart. I feel like she’s a lot like me. The pride she feels for her ranch and the way she feels about her family, that all reminds me of myself. She’s a damn good woman – hell, any man would be crazy not to want her.

As he reminisced that moment with Lor, he took a swig of his beer and licked the right side of his lips. Oh good good Lord! It sent vibrations through my body, made my skin hot and my muscles rippled with need. How many more questions do I have? I need to finish this immediately or else I would end up agreeing doing the same thing. So I cleared my throat and start throwing my follow up question.

Cris: Cade this question might be a little inappropriate. But my readers were polled [not really but I’m just dying to know] what is the craziest place you’ve ever had sex?

Shaking his head at me and biting his lip with that sexy grin. 

Cade: I don’t kiss and tell, hon, but I will tell ya this…I’ve heard sex on a tractor can be a hell of a lot fun.

I really need to cut this off. I don’t think I can still stand staring at his green eyes without me imagining how his hard, sculpted body would rock against mine and now all I can think about is a big green tractor. I am not in my usual self and I have to blame “JD” for that. So I decided to skip the remaining 3 questions and just jump immediately to the last.

Cris: So what’s your plan now Cade? How would you like your destiny to unfold?

Cade: Well, hon I guess you’ll just have to read Destined to Change and see what Lisa Harley has in store for me…I promise ya’ll won’t be disappointed. As a matter of fact, I’ve never disappointed a lady in my life. He said with a wink of his eye.

Thank God it was done! Cade settled the bill and accompanied me outside the bar to the parking lot. I opened my purse and found my keys when I felt his hand touched mine.

“Let me.”

He took the keys and opened the door for me. He’s not that bad after all, I feel there is really something about this guy than just his pretty face and sexy body.

Just before I hopped inside the car, I decided to take one final glance of him and that’s when it happened…

“Thanks for a great night and I’m sorry for being a bit too forward earlier, and for calling you chickie.” He said with his sexy voice. I knew I was in trouble early on, and it only took me those lines to finally give in. I let my hands do the talking. As he held my gaze, my hand roamed a little lower, surveying the territory and reached down to hold one of the perfectly formed asses I have ever touched. Shoot! Did I just do that?

“Whoa that was hot! Well I guess I was wrong to even call you a chickie.”

There goes the cocky Cade. I just smiled.

“Thanks for the drink.” I said and gave him a quick peck on the cheek instead. When I pulled off, he grabbed me on my shoulder and closed the gap between us. My swaying vision made me feel nauseous so I closed me eyes while my chest and nipples hardened and I knew he felt them. 

He cupped my chin and eased my face up when all of a sudden I heard Usher singing in the background “Ooh baby baby ooh baby baby Ah-ooh baby baby ooh baby baby. Girl tonight you’re the prey. I’m the hunter. Take you here, take you there. Take you under. Imagine me whispering in your ear, That I wanna take off all your clothes and put something on yah.”



Damn! I don’t know whether to be happy or pissed!

“Nice ringtone huh.”

“Well I guess that was my cue, I think I’d better go.”

“Boyfriend?”

“No, that’s my blog partner, Pam, just checking on me.”

“Sweet! Maybe I can call you sometime?”

“Sorry Cade,  I don’t do booty calls and I’m not gonna start with you.” He just smiled as I turned my back and leave.

Shoot! That was close! Real close!

About the author:

Raine Miller has been reading romance novels since she picked up that first Barbara Cartland book at the tender age of thirteen. And it’s a safe bet she’ll never stop, because now she writes them too! Granted Raine’s stories are edgy enough to turn Ms. Cartland in her grave, but to her way of thinking, a hot, sexy hero never goes out of fashion. A part-time teacher and writer of sexy romance stories every other chance she gets pretty much fills her days. She has a handsome prince of a husband, and two brilliant sons to pull her back into the real world if the writing takes her too far away. Her sons know she likes to write stories, but gratefully have never asked to read any, thank God! Raine loves to hear from readers and to chat about the characters in her books.
