He’s never met anyone like
her…At 21 years old, Tonya Summers is a skater girl with the ESPN
X-games as well as a college student, volunteer, and the sole provider for her
family who lost their jobs in the economic downturn. A handsome, world-renowned
TV chef is surely not interested in someone like her.
She’s never even learned to
cook…When Alex Stanley, who also volunteers at the Elysian Fields Soup
Kitchen, meets Tonya, he is instantly captivated and presents her with an
opportunity she can’t refuse—a chance at winning a half million dollars on the
reality TV cooking show Happy
Endings. Enough money to get her family back on her feet and herself a
college education.
The challenges mount…The producers want more
than just bacon cupcakes—one of several recipes our celebrity chefs share with
you at the end of the story. They are also looking for personal drama and
sexual tension and are out to make sure it happens.
Can there be a happy ending for Tonya and Alex?
How Six Men Got It On is a
retelling of the Grimm classic fairytale How
Six Men Got on in the World. I am a professional storyteller as well as a
romance author and I completely fell in love with the Beyond Fairytales Series
from Decadent Publishing. What could be
better than a good romance mixed with a fairytale? For me personally, as I
often tell my twitter followers, “I don’t do heartbreaking and intense, I do
sexy, cheeky and yummy,” with the hope that my stories are always fun and
delicious, and will leave readers wanting more, and maybe even wanting to try
some themselves. That’s where I got the idea to include the recipes for the
confections that Alex and Tonya cook on the reality TV show in an appendix at
the end of my book, so that if the recipes sounded good to the reader while
they were reading about Alex and Tonya making them (and sploshing around in
them), they can try them at home. I have tried them, especially the Chocolate
Bacon Cupcakes, which may sound
gross, but they are delicious in a very sensual way, for as Chef Anthony
Bourdain says himself, “Good food does
lead to sex. As it should.”

Excerpt:
“Can you smell it?”
“Smell what?”
“The sweet smell of success.”
All at once, the buzzer went off,
indicating we could begin cooking. I almost jumped out of my skin. Nothing like
dropping into a half-pipe—this cooking stuff’s scary—real cooking—not mac and
cheese—and on television, in front of millions of viewers. I stood frozen at my
counter, staring into the camera. Alex began gathering our ingredients—bowl,
eggs, sugar I couldn’t get it together. I stood there like a zombie.
“Tonya,” Alex whispered.
I peered up at him, and he handed me an
egg then, cupping my hand in his, cracked the egg delicately on the side of a
large black bowl. The yolk dropped into it, sliding along the side. So sexy!
“Breathe,” he said in a hushed tone.
I took a deep breath. “Okay,” I whispered
back.
His hand lingered a split second more on
mine, and he gave me a soft, reassuring squeeze. Smiling up at him, I handed
him a second egg, which he cracked with our hands clasped.
The baking experience proved a lot more thrilling than I’d
ever imagined it could be.
Cooking with Alex Stanley? Hot and messy. I loved
it!
