Contemporary Romance
Date Published: July 1, 2017
He’s a player. She’s too smart to let him in her pants. Until a night of drunken sex has her kicking herself and vowing she’ll never let it happen again. Or will she?
After returning home due to her father’s illness, Elise Phillips reunites with her college friends, including Luke Long. Luke was a player back then, and Elise had always prided herself on not being another notch on his bedpost.
Luke is still gorgeous though, and he knows it. And he checks all her boxes—intelligent and sexy with muscles and a hard body.
Following a night of beer and shots, her resistance runs out, and he finally does check her box. And Elise knows that it can never happen again.
Luke had always thought of Elise as the pretty girl that was friends with his roommate’s girlfriend, but now she’s all grown up. When their night of passion rocks Luke’s world he realizes he must have her again.
The two enter a friends-with-benefits relationship with the agreement that they’re just going to have fun. The only thing is, with mutual friends involved, they have to hide their indiscretion.
But what harm can come from a dirty little secret?
Dirty is the first contemporary romance from paranormal romance author R.L. Kenderson. If you like laughing out loud, sexy book boyfriends, playful couples, and dirty, dirty sex, then you’ll love this fun contemporary romance.

Pet
Peeves of the Publishing Industry
I think the biggest pet peeve that the both of us have is
that when we tried to go the traditional publishing route we would hear all the
time that agents already had similar books to ours.
The thing about books is you don’t have to have just one.
It’s not like deciding which mobile company you’re going to go with and you
have to choose just one. Readers buy multiple books. And being members of
multiple Facebook book groups, I don’t know how many times we’ve read that
readers love books X, Y, and Z, and they are looking for something similar.
I get that agents and publishers are looking for the next
big thing, like Harry Potter, but that doesn’t happen very often. So why not
take on clients with books you know are going to sell, even if there is already
something similar out there?
I’m sure there is more to the story that we don’t know,
but right now it’s not something I understand.
The biggest frustration with self-publishing is Amazon
Kindle Unlimited and Amazon having exclusive rights. Both of us are Barnes
& Noble Nook users. (Gasp!) I know, but we both got our first Nooks when e-reading
first became a thing. There was no Kindle Unlimited or anything yet.
Because of this reason, we knew that we were going to
publish our books wide (publish everywhere, not just Amazon) because we both
hate it when we can’t buy the books we want because they are only available on
Amazon.
Unfortunately, I think we suffered in getting our name
out there when we first published. If we had maybe done KU at first, maybe more
people would have read our books. Although, Kindle Unlimited literally started
the same month we released our first book, so who knows?
As an author and a reader, though, I hate the thought of
one company having control over a market. If Amazon beat out all the
competition and suddenly became the only ebook store, they could do whatever
they wanted and there would be no one to stop them. (I am NOT saying they
would.) They could start charging ridiculous amounts of money and as readers
we’d have to accept it or not read. This
is why we will try our darndest to make sure that Amazon doesn’t have exclusive
rights and that our books are available everywhere to everyone.
Someday, I really hope that Amazon will open up the
Kindle Unlimited to all their authors, regardless if they are exclusive to
Amazon or publish wide.
A girl can dream,
right?
About the Author
R.L. Kenderson is two best friends writing under one name. Renae has always loved reading and in third grade wrote her first poem where she learned she might have a knack for this writing thing. Lara remembers sneaking her grandmother’s Harlequin novels when she was probably too young to be reading them, and since then she knew she wanted to write her own.
When they met in college, they bonded over their love of reading and the TV show Charmed. What really spiced up their friendship was when Lara introduced Renae to romance novels. When they discovered their first vampire romance, they knew there would always be a special place in their hearts for paranormal romance. After being unable to find certain storylines and characteristics they wanted to read about in the hundreds of books they consumed, they decided to write their own.
They both live in the Minneapolis/St. Paul area where they’re a sonographer/stay-at-home mom/wife and pharmacist/mother by day and a sexy author by night. You can find them at http://www.rlkenderson.com, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr, Twitter, and Goodreads. Or you can email them at rlkenderson@rlkenderson.com. They always love hearing from their readers.
