Deliza Rafferty's BIO:
Deliza Rafferty is a new erotic romance writer (spicier than traditional romance without hardcore BDSM - always super hot!) located in Hollywood. She's written all sorts of stories and poems for personal enjoyment si...nce she was a little girl, but has spent most of her career in the music business. She is venturing into sharing her musings publicly for the very first time and is excited that modern day technology allows her to do it at her leisure.
Currently she is focused on writing The "Savannah Rossi Chronicles," a series of ten erotica/erotic romance short stories that pave the way to an eventual full length novel. Each story is a stand alone and follow the steamy adventures of a musically-gifted singer/songwriter named Savannah Rossi as she navigates her burgeoning career and love life.
Deliza means "gives pleasure" and Rafferty means "rich and prosperous." With a name like that, what else could she do? Like...legally?

Each story is a stand alone and follow the steamy ...adventures of sexy, independent, musically-gifted singer/songwriter Savannah Rossi, who is teetering on the verge of national success. This is no spoiled brat pop princess looking to be saved.

Is it possible that any one man could tame such an independent free spirit? Who says she even needs to be tamed? Follow Savannah's journey to find out!
In 'Hound Dog', volume 4 of the series, Savannah lands a major studio gig singing for one of the music industry's hottest songwriter/producers. However, she is blindsided when she shows up to to the job to find that the only man she ever gave her heart to - the one who also demolished it several years prior - is the sound engineer on the recording sessions. As painful memories are revisited, Savannah and Jax struggle to behave professionally in spite of the deep-seated hatred and intense desire they still hold for each other. Time does not necessarily heal all wounds -- and new ones can still be inflicted...

******* REVIEW *******
Hound Dog- Vol. 4 The Savannah Rossi Chronicles
Deliza Rafferty
Review by: Kris (of I Heart Books)
Wow! To start I was warned it was "dark and twisty" by the author when requesting a review. Dark and twisty always sounds like a good-time to me, and I was not let down! I would also add; explosive and intense.
Have you ever wondered how you would react if forced to work with an old flame, one who took your innocence and broke your heart? Savannah and Jax rub eachother wrong right from the start, but quickly compose so that neither of them look unprofessional. Luckily, they have had others around to act as buffers. That is, until one day they are made to work alone. An intense (there's that word) argument between the two leads to some regrettable actions and subsequently the two part ways. Not on the best terms... again. BUT just when you think it SHOULD be over between Sav and Jax, a little B&E flips the story over and rubbing eachother wrong turns into rubbing eachother right, yet still wrong. LOL You have to read it!
If I had one complaint, twist my arm, it might be that I really thought mega-producer, Greg was going to play a bigger role in the end. He seemed set up to steal the lead heart-throb, but maybe in future installments we will see him more!
In the end I am so torn by how HOT this relationship was, very vivid and exciting sex scenes, but also by how- I don't want to say 'abusive' it was- I didn't get the sense it was abusive in nature. Just intense (YES, again) and that is true-to-life for some. Makes for hot sex scenes, that is for sure ;)
4 out of 5 stars from me!

Vickie Rose Stewart Benefit Auction and other important information
Vicki Rose Stewart Benefit Auction
March 11th-12th, 2013
Direct Paypal Donation Link:
https://www.paypal.com/
~~~~~~~~~
OR Go Fund Me Site: http://www.gofundme.com/
~~~~~~~
** Donated items will be auctioned off to the highest bidder HERE in the event. SEE INFO BELOW.**
Info on Vicki & the lymphoma she is battling:
This auction is being held to help Vicki & her family relocate and make it through the next few months as their landlord is selling their current home and they need to move asap.
Vicki has children living at home & is currently still unable to work outside the home, as she has horrible bouts with nausea & dizzy spells, however she still promotes authors & does reviews (Platinum Book Reviews) from her bedside to show her incredible love for the literary community and she love her indie authors to pieces!
Vicki was diagnosed with non-hodgkins b-cell follicular lymphoma in October of 2012 and went through 2 six week sessions of radiation, one of the sessions coinciding with a 6 week session of chemo & 1 eight week session of immunotherapy suppression & she is currently in Week 2 of the second six week session of immunotherapy suppression, as of now.
Lymph nodes targeted are on her left chest wall/under-arm area & the radiation was targeted directly to the area. The chemo was given in high doses as it was starting to spread to her liver but they pulled it back & have pronounced the radiation & chemo a near success and are doing the immunotherapy to remove the last aggressive traces of it..
Thank you for considering any donation or even just bidding on all the amazing items that will be available!
Changes on I Heart Books Official facebook...
Well, honestly we dont plan on changing much! Our system seems to work for us and you guys. We have played with the idea of using a codeword on the facebook page for giveaways... Lol. Something like "She'll be doing a "Booty Pop" on her page when she reaches ___ fans!" or "For a "Booty Poppin'" bookmark, go....". Would that be too confusing? We appreciate your input on this one! IHB doesnt want to change too much, but we also dont want to get closed down. That would suck!Author Takeovers...
They will still be done mainly on our I Heart Books Facebook page but we will also be doing a mini blog Takeover for each one here! We will be attempting to do 2 Takeovers a week, Tuesdays and Thursdays, in the near future. Hope you guys REALLY like them! Lol.*Authors- If you wish to do an I Heart Books Author Takeover please email us with the word TAKEOVER in the subject line!*
Email: i_heart_books2012@yahoo.com
Thank You :)
Thanks Facebook (not) and WELCOME to our shiny new blog
Facebook vs. Page Admins... Go! Fight!
OK, its not quite that dramatic, BUT it does make doing any giveaways a little more difficult. So, here we are as a blog in order to facilitate giveaways as well as reviews! This is actually something we have been in the talks about for some time now and Facebook just forced our hand. Well played, Facebook, well played!
We do hope you will join us on this new adventure and continue to enjoy I Heart Books on Facebook.
