News
It just recently dawned on me that I haven't released a newsletter since July. I apologize for being so remiss.
The last five months have been busy ones for me. In addition to teaching an online class, I've had two new releases since the last newsletter. Love... By The Book was just released by Amber Heat and reached number five on the November Best Seller list! An exclusive excerpt is included below.
In August, the third installment in my science fiction series, Alliance: Galactic Affairs, was released.
I've finished writing Alliance: Clandestine Desire, scheduled for release in March as part of the male/male Secret Lives AmberPax(tm)
I'm featured at TRS BLUE this month, including an interview by TRS owner Tina Pavlik.
I've added two video book trailers to my websites. The sexy video for my Alliance series can be found here and the trailer for ROGUE'S HOSTAGE is embedded at my Linda McLaughlin website.
I'm still blogging almost every Saturday at Servants of the Muse and periodically at my personal blog,
Linda's Flights of Fancy. Feel free to stop by and say "hi"!
Amber Heat always has something on sale, and don't forget to answer their short survey for a chance to win a free download.

Love... By The Book
by Lyndi Lamont
Genres: Short Historical / Menage Erotica
Heat Level: 3
Passion isn't supposed to enter into the marriage bargain between darkly handsome Evan Channing and demure Lydia Blatchford, the daughter of an impoverished earl. Even if both secretly yearn for more from this contract.
But the rules are about to change when Evan is gifted with an intriguing copy of the Kama Sutra. He sets out to win his high-born bride, blending seductive heat with exotic lessons in love-making. With a little help from Sir Richard Burton's new, provocative translation of ancient wisdom on seduction and
arousal, the cold marriage bed of an arranged union is about to combust into a blazing flame of desire.
Alliance: Galactic Affairs
Genres: Sci-Fi / Futuristic / Fantasy / Menage Erotica
Heat Level: 3
Part of the Temptation's Price AmberPax(TM)
When Erok steals ancient artifacts from an archeological dig on the planet Zigan, the last thing he expects is to be cursed by an angry goddess with a mystical coin. Left stranded in space, fated to fall in love with the next woman he sees, he scoffs at the curse . . . until he comes face to face with his destiny.
Jahni, an agent with Mhajavi intelligence, is intrigued by the Ziganese pilot rescued by her crew. He stirs her desires as no man has ever done before, and she gives in to her passions. But when she realizes he has connections to the space raiders, she wonders what kind of man she has fallen for. Is he a common thief or a misguided rebel? Either way, he seems to be the one man
who can help her solve an intergalactic crisis. But at what cost to her heart?

Evan wandered around his bedroom, clad in his new blue and white striped pajamas, wondering how much longer he should wait before going to his new bride. He'd never felt so unsure yet so filled with anticipation. His cock was already partially hard just thinking about what was to come.
At the same time he was more nervous than he'd ever been in his life. It wasn't as if he were his first time, but every woman he'd been with had been a courtesan, more experienced than he. Lydia was a high-born lady, and a virgin. He just hoped he could make this pleasant for her and not embarrass himself in the process.
He glanced at his copy of the Kama Sutra. The book recommended waiting ten
days before consummating the marriage. Bloody hell. He could no more wait
ten more days to make her his wife than he could fly to the moon. He wanted
her. Now. Badly.
Taking a deep breath, he walked to the door between their rooms and knocked. He let out his breath when she bade him enter. She was sitting up in bed, swathed in a voluminous white nightgown, looking pale and apprehensive.
He swore under his breath. "Where did you get that gown?"
Her eyes grew wide. "Mother ordered it, especially for tonight."
"I should have known," he muttered, wondering what other stellar advice her
mother had given her. He sat on the side of the bed and took her hands in his.
"What did your mother tell you to expect on your wedding night?"
Lydia flushed and glanced away. "Very little actually. She said to lie back and let you take charge."
He sighed and reached out to touch her face and turn it to him. "I'd really
prefer it if you participated in what we're about to do. It is much more
pleasurable that way. Like it was when you kissed me back, that night on the balcony."
She gave him a tentative smile. "If that's what you want."
"What I want is you naked and writhing in my arms."

Alliance: Diplomatic Relations
4 Stars... "Keeping the reader fascinated, Ms. Lamont casts radiant characters that help form the suspenseful plot. . . [The] sexy threesome is hot, scorching the pages with shameless, hungry need. . . A beguiling story, Alliance Book 1: Diplomatic Relations begins Ms. Lamont's new series at Amber Quill Press. Alluring characters with a dual plot of romance and political intrigue makes this story quite entertaining." - Pamela Jenewein, Rainbow Reviews
Finding Jason
4 Angels... "When Alfred and Jason finally get together, it is like magic and Jason finds everything he has been looking for all of his life. Alfred teaches
Jason that sometimes the hard things are worth fighting for. Thanks go to Ms.
Lamont for a very interesting story." - Teresa,
Fallen Angel Reviews
4 Stars... "Ms. Lamont has created a very interesting story incorporating the
regency period. It was fascinating to see that modern times may be more
advanced, but the treatment of homosexuality is not that different. Alfred
accepts his inclinations even though they have caused him pain. Jason feels
there is something missing in his life, but he fights his feelings because he
knew they will cause him trouble. Alfred teaches Jason that together they may
have something that is worth more than anything else in his life. Thanks go to
Ms. Lamont for a very interesting story." - Teresa,

Into the Past Darkly AmberPax(TM)
A Collection of Time Travel/Dark Fantasy Erotic Romance
Genre: Time Travel / Dark Fantasy Erotic Romance
Featuring the following stories...
Guilty Intentions - Trixie Stilletto
Portal To Darkness - Carolina Valdez
Sacred and Profane - Nina Merrill
Tempt Me Not - Adrianna Dane
Time Shift - Christiane France
I've always loved time travel, so I couldn't wait to read this AmberPax when
it was released last summer . I really enjoyed all the stories in the collection.
The authors all let their imaginations soar, taking innovative approaches to
their stories, and collectively produced a very original collection of stories,
ranging from the Medieval period to World War II, with stops in 18th century
Paris and 1890's New Orleans. There's something for everyone here, so why
not buy the entire pax?

Quotes from The Kama Sutra of Vatsyayana
Women, being of tender nature, want tender beginnings.
The man who is ingenious and wise, who is accompanied by a friend, and
who knows the intentions of others, as also the proper time and place for
doing everything, can gain over, very easily, even a woman who is very hard
to be obtained.
Says Ghotakamukha, 'Though a man loves a girl ever so much, he never
succeeds in winning her without a great deal of talking.'
. . . the man should do whatever the girl takes most delight in, and he should
get for her whatever she may have a desire to possess
At the first time of sexual union the passion of the male is intense, and his
time is short, but in subsequent unions on the same day the reverse of this is
the case. With the female however it is the contrary, for at the first time her
passion is weak, and then her time is long, but on subsequent occasions on the
same day, her passion is intense and her time short, until her passion is
satisfied.
