About The Red Petticoat Saloon
series:
Author Maddie Taylor joins a long list of other USA Today
and international bestselling authors to breath danger, suspense, intrigue,
romance and a healthy dose of steam to bring this unique series to life.
Each stand-alone book tells the compelling
story of a different woman, 'a gem', who comes to the saloon to find a safe
haven and discovers they have become part of a family. Recurring characters
appear in each book to allow readers continuity as they meet women who have
learned to bend but have not broken under the harshness that life has to offer.
It is a series where strong, loving men find not only entertainment at the
saloon but the special women who reside under its roof.
Claiming Coral
by Maddie Taylor
Blurb:
Balking at pre-arranged marriage
number four to a man older than her father, Carissa Fulwiler leaves New York
City humiliated and alone, but determined to take her future into her own
hands. She travels to California to begin a quiet life on the western frontier
as a mail-order-bride to a young man of her own choosing. But fate has never
been kind to her and she arrives in Culpepper Cove to find her would-be husband
dead from a freak accident, leaving her with little money, no job, and no place
to live. With few options, Carissa ends up as Coral, the newest Gem at the Red
Petticoat Saloon.
Bo Magnusson left his troubled past
behind long ago and traveled west. Now that he’s established as the town’s blacksmith
and owner of the busy livery stable, he's ready to settle down and begin a
family. One day, a down on her luck lovely redhead arriving by stage catches
his eye. She is obviously a lady and needs a man to
protect her, especially when her dire straits force her to take a job dancing
with lonely prospectors at the local saloon. This doesn't sit well with him and
he pursues her only to be politely, but flatly, rejected. But Bo is stubborn,
and he won’t give up trying until his ring is on her finger and she bears his
name, even if the convincing means that she’s sporting a bright red bottom
while he rekindles her heart and keeps her safe.
Having at last won the stubborn
young widow's hand, Bo and Coral settle into their new life together, but their
pasts come calling one day when her father's man comes to town ready to drag
Coral back to New York by whatever means possible. Tempers rise and secrets are
revealed, but when the dust settles, will Bo and Coral still be together, or
will the treachery and vindictiveness of those dead set against their love tear
them apart?
Excerpt:
“You
know the rules of the saloon. You heard me tell Gabriel that I would see to the
punishment for violating them.”
“You
said we’d discuss them—” Her protests were choked off midsentence as he easily
positioned her on her belly and flipped her skirt up onto her back. She felt
him ruck up her petticoat next, one of the pink ones, of course, which left
only her frilly white drawers underneath. Fingers, warm and rough, came in
contact with the bare skin on her bottom next and she groaned, cursing her bad
luck for wearing her split seamed pantalets. She’d thought she might need to
see to the call of nature while she was out here.
“I
thought to leave these in place since we aren’t intimate, but this clever
design takes that decision out of my hands.” Air wafted over her bottom as he
untied the drawstring and separated the two halves.
Next,
a loud crack echoed through the night air as a stinging swat connected with one
of her bottom cheeks. She squealed in protest an instant before a matching
smack landed on the other side.
“No!
Stop.”
“That’s
not happening until I’m satisfied you won’t do something as foolish as walking
in town or the woods by yourself after dark.”
Another
pair of slaps landed on alternating cheeks. He spanked hard, his big hand
falling like a paddle and covering most of her bottom in a single swat. And it
didn’t appear he intended to stop after a few. As more fell unrelentingly, the
heat on her skin built with each blow. After about a dozen, tears filled her
eyes and her hand flew back.
“I’m
sorry, please. No more.”
Fingers
curled around her wrist as he moved her hand out of the way.
“I
say when I’m done, not you, sweetheart.” More searing swats fell steadily with
the same intensity as he covered every inch of her bottom and upper thighs at
least twice.
“Please,
Bo. I promise I won’t go out alone again. I swear.” Her voice broke on the last
two words and must have declared her sincerity, because he stopped. His hand
rubbed gently across the skin he had just heated. She imagined steam rising
from her scorching backside in contrast to the cooler night air. It felt hot
enough to fry eggs on.
“I’m
going to hold you to your vow, Coral. If I find that you don’t, you’ll get a
taste of my belt.”
“Why?”
His
hand tightened, squeezing her tender flesh. “Because even if the feelings are
not returned, I care what happens to you.”
Excerpt 4: naughty
Taking
her roughly into his arms, he bent her backwards and feasted voraciously on her
breasts, sucking and nipping, hands pressing them together so he could easily
work back and forth between the two.
Robbed
of speech and lucidity from his near frenzied passion, she wound her hands in
his hair, hanging on. Bent half backwards that was all that she could do.
After
long minutes of this exquisite torment, he lifted her against him, moving
without releasing the suction of his mouth on one tingling tip. Then as
quickly, he dropped her onto her back on the couch and pulled her so that her
bottom was perched on the arm, her legs flung nearly over her head in a swath
of skirts. These he pushed high and her drawers, which were in his way, ripped
from her as he spread her thighs and he buried his face in the wet heat between
her legs.
“Bo,
oh my heavens!” she cried as he spread her lips and delved into her channel,
spearing her with his tongue. Then it trailed lower, between her bottom as he’d
promised her one day he would, licking the forbidden entrance that she never
imagined possible to take. One hand snaked around her belly, holding her
bucking hips still as his hand found her slick nub of pleasure. He worked it rapidly,
his fingers circling round and round, and then flicking it back and forth. A
flood of honey surged from inside her, trickling down to wet the hole where his
tongue teased and stroked. It was replaced by a fingertip pressing slowly into
her.
Her
breathing stopped, and if she didn’t know better, it felt like her heart halted
too. Yet it couldn’t have because a pulse pounded in her ears as he penetrated
her bottom for the very first time. There was no discomfort, she’d been well
prepared, but it felt so different being filled back there. His broad finger
pushed in farther, up to the third knuckle, while his other hand stimulated her
in front. He slid slowly in and out, once, twice, on the third stroke adding a
second finger. She whimpered at the sensation of being stretched wide and
imagined how his long broad shaft would feel in their place. It was much bigger
than two of his fingers.
“Relax
and enjoy it, älskling.” She loved it
when he called her his love. And since she knew he meant what he said, she
tried to ease the tension in her bottom. “Good girl,” he whispered as he rose
to his feet, his fingers still gliding slowly in and out. With his other hand,
he freed his cock from his trousers. She watched in awestruck amazement as he
licked his fingers and transferred the wetness to the tip, then guided the
glistening head of his shaft to her untried back entrance.
At
first the pressure was fine, but when he pushed through with a little pop, she
felt the bite of the stretch and tensed.
“Bo,”
she called worriedly, her hand coming up to press against his belly. “I really
don’t think you’ll fit.”
“I
will, Coral. Let your bottom go lax; when you do, I’ll slide right in.” He
didn’t press any further as his thumb returned to circle, rub and arouse her
once again, while two fingers of the same hand dipped inside her wet channel.
The sensation of him filling both of her holes was beyond anything she could
have imagined and a shudder of ecstasy shook her violently.
“That’s
it, baby. Give yourself up to the pleasure.”

Author Bio:
A
USA Today bestselling author, Maddie is also a lifelong reader. She became a
romance junkie as a teen with her first romance novel, The Wolf and the Dove by
Kathleen Woodiwiss. From then on, she was hooked, and gobbled up everything she
could get her hands on, whether contemporary, historical, paranormal or sci-fi.
If there was romance to be found between a strong alpha male, and a sassy,
adventurous and ofttimes defiant yet loving woman Maddie was all over it. As an
author, she stays true to those themes writing steamy erotic romance, with a
side of kink, and adding elements of intrigue, danger and suspense to her
plots.
Maddie started writing as a hobby. Her stories stayed private while she raised a family and worked full time as a registered nurse. It wasn’t until 2012 that she decided to take the plunge and submit her first book for publication: Captain My Captain. She found acceptance at Blushing Books and published an impressive twelve novels the first year.
She’s still juggling writing with her day job and you’ll find her working at her laptop into the wee hours of the night, scribbling plot ideas onto the notebook she always keeps handy, and working out the details of a scene while floating around in her pool with a lemon drop in hand. Don’t be surprised if you see her pulling over on the side of the road to capture an idea for a scene on paper, because as Maddie says, her best ideas always come when there isn’t a pen in a five-mile radius.
