Next up, Kate’s Crew (Powertools Book #1). This book heated up the winter when it hit ebook shelves on February 9th. I’m thrilled to announce that my next release (1/25/11) is the sequel to this book, Morgan’s Surprise. There will be four books in the Powertools series as each member of the Crew finds his mate. Kayla’s Gift will be out in May followed by Devon’s Pair in early 2012.

Blurb:
Nothing’s sexier than men with power tools.
Sultry summer heat has nothing on the five-man crew renovating the house next door. No one could blame Kate for leaning out the window for a better view of the manscape. The nasty fall that follows isn’t part of her fantasy—but the man who saves her from splattering the sidewalk is definitely the star.
When Mike personally attends to her injuries, she realizes her white knight in a hard hat has a tender side, giving her no choice but to surrender to the lust that’s been arcing between them since day one. In the aftermath of the best sex of her life, she whispers her most secret desire: to be ravaged by his crew.
She never expected Mike would dare her to take what she wants—or that the freedom to make her most decadent desires come true could be the foundation for something lasting…
Excerpt:
Kate wiped her palms on her paint-splattered cutoffs before adjusting her grip on the rebuilt window casement. A flash of tan skin drew her attention to glistening muscles. They rippled over five sexy frames as the crew renovating the townhouse next door hammered nail after nail into their first-story roof, just a few feet below her perch.
From inside the bedroom where she worked, she inched to the edge of the ladder rung then craned her neck through the opening in front of her for a glimpse of the intricate tattoo spanning Mike’s broad shoulders. Instead, she caught him reaching up to their stash of supplies for another pack of shingles. When her gaze latched onto the drop of sweat that slid along his neck, she forgot to breathe. She watched in fascination as it journeyed over his defined pecs and six-pack abs. After it was absorbed in the ultra-low-riding jeans snugged to his trim hips by a bulging tool belt, she heaved a sigh of relief.
Kate swiped at a blob of paint that had plopped onto her wrist unnoticed while she’d ogled Mike. Her tongue moistened her lips as she imagined licking a similar trail down his body. The edge of the fresh trim gouged her thigh as she strained for a better view. The gasp she made busted her. His head lifted, catching her spying. Great, now she’d never convince him to take it easy with his persistent innuendo or date invites. And, no matter how much she wanted to, she couldn’t indulge either of their desires.
Mike threw her a dazzling victory grin. The anticipation sparkling in his cocky stare blasted a shockwave through her, screwing with her balance. The ladder wobbled then tipped. She probably could have righted herself if she hadn’t been standing on tiptoes to maximize her view of the scenery. In slow motion, she watched his expression morph from flirtatious to horrified.
Kate flung out her arms in an attempt to catch the frame before she tumbled through it but the momentum swung her around. Her temple grazed the custom-made pewter latch she’d installed the day before. She hung, suspended in midair, as Mike rose from his crouch. The other guys began to turn toward her, but he was already sprinting for the edge.
Terror froze her insides when he launched himself across the ten-foot gap between their houses. Then she spun away, losing sight of him. She braced for imminent impact.
Shit, this is going to hurt.
Everything happened at once. Air whooshed from her lungs when she slammed, on her side, onto the roof. She rolled, flexing her ankles in an attempt to find purchase that would halt her skid toward the brink. But her knee wrenched at an awkward angle while she continued to rake over the slate. Her hand caught the ridge of an attic vent, slowing her descent, but gravity overcame the tenuous hold. Her frantic fingers recoiled from the sharp metal edge.
The gutters rushed closer, her last hope. After that, she’d have to pray the evergreen shrubs would cushion her, preventing any broken bones. The heels of her work boots hit the aluminum edging but kept going. Her legs dangled in thin air.
Then a strong hand banded around her wrist. Her arm nearly jerked from the socket as she lurched to a stop. Kate shoved on the edging shingles with her free hand, fighting to stay on the roof.
“Son of a bitch!” Mike hauled her the rest of the way up.

Question: How many is too many?
Jayne
www.jaynerylon.com
for me 3 would be to many.
I have this one, don’t enter me but couldn’t help but comment. This was the first book I read from you and fell in love, I think it’s time for a re-read I loved this book so much. I have already pre-ordered Morgan’s Surprise and can’t wait.
Hmmm… I think 4 would be the answer.
This is also the first book that I read. Loved it can’t wait for Morgan’s Surprise.
I don’t know how many is too many though. sometimes I can barely handle the one I’ve got ; ) but hmm… Anything over 3 would be overkill!!
Thanks Rachel and Ive! Way to jump right into the deep end 😀
OOOOO’ this sounds Fabulous!!! I love these Hot Sizzling Ones!!!!!
I would love this book!!!!
More than 5 is a lot… But there is 24/7 lol……….. Why waste a minute.. :O)
If they’d like to take care of each other while the others are busy with me and let me watch, than 4-5 or maybe 6.
It depends on whether it is a one time thing or not. 4 would definitely be doable once, okay, maybe twice LOL, but not sure it would be possible to deal with more than 2 over an extended period of time without going insane. 🙂
Thats alot of hands!!!! So many things to do with them all! Think I may have this one but not sure. I sooo need to make a book list. That will be one of my New Years to do’s.
Ok I have this book already but can there really be to many??? You know what this book did when I read it, melted chocolate.
Zina
I have this one too!!! I can’t wait for Morgan’s Surprise (and the rest of them for that matter!) 🙂 This was my inrtroduction to you!! I’m so glad I bought it!
KittyKelly
Yum, Jayne! As for too many? In stories, I don’t mind reading about up to 4 or 5 as long as I don’t lose track of who’s doing what when… In real life, one can be more than enough of a good thing 😀
it depends if you at swinging party you can have up to 30 guy and women there ready to party but if you want to play on the swing
or on the machine it take up 2 guy and one women so i say
let have fun with 3 guys one will tie out any way so you got back ups
Hmmm, I don’t think I could count that high, each hottie has their own qualities 😉
Yummy excerpt & love the humor of being oogle busted with the hot hero results.

No more than 2 or 3. All orifices are busy at that point. 😉
I think 5 might be too many for me. But then I’ll never know if I don’t try. lol I loved Kate’s Crew too. Hot and yummy.
LOVED this book
is there ever too many…jk…i think 3
Hmm I am not sure I can handle more than one but it’s nice to dream about
haha i dont think there can be a too many lol but if i had to pick i would say 3
hummmm lol i would have to agree with patti lol i loved the way that they dressed in the 1800’s lol i thought that the dresses were awsome looking lol
haha i posted last comment on wrong contest lol i guess thats what i get for having them all up at the same time huh lol and as for this one i would have to say 4 would be to many
hmmmmm lol i would have to say 4 or 5 would be to many lol
In stories, there is always room for more, but in real life more than 3 is too many, at least for me.
This sounds so good! But I would have to say 3 would be to many for me…..but I sure don’t mind read a story with more 😉
This was my first as well and LOVED it completely!! I loved it so much had to get all your stuff Dream Machine is my Fav though and as far as too much for me personally i would think four. But when it comes to reading bout it bring it on never too many 🙂
one works for me but in fantasy world 5 might be to many. I’m only 5 ‘3″ inches so 2 or 3 probably enough.????
Lisa B
I think 2 is good….I mean why not 3 but if I could have my fantasy it would be 2
There has to be a reason why the saying ‘the more the merrier’ exists. 🙂
