It’s finally here! Like Christmas morning I’m super excited, woke bolt upright the moment my alarm went off. Razor’s Edge is available now at MBaM here and Amazon here (as well as the other usual places). In face, I’m so excited I decided that everyone wins in my countdown contest. Use the contact page of my website or email me at contact@jaynerylon.com for the list of prizes. I’ll give people their pick from the list in the order I receive the emails.
Thank you for playing, it was really fun to show you what each of the characters in the Men in Blue series is thankful for. Oh, and next time around, there might be some new faces after you meet some more people in Razor’s Edge. In any case, I hope you enjoy Razor’s Edge!
Happy reading!

So, if you haven’t heard me screaming from the hills yet, Razor’s Edge is finally here! It releases officially tomorrow, but if you can’t wait it’s already available at MBaM here. HOOORAY! I can’t express how much I enjoyed writing this book, the sequel to Night is Darkest. I’m about to get started on writing book three, Jeremy Radisson’s story, any day now. Anyhooo…
It seems pretty fitting that on the same day Razor’s Edge releases, I was selected to be the erotica spotlight on RT Book Reviews website. How awesome is this? I’m flattered and excited to be featured. I hope you’ll all take a peek at some personal motivation behind the Men in Blue series.
Okay, but for the main event… I wanted to talk a little about Razor’s Edge and how important music is to the book. If you haven’t read the blurb/excerpt yet (feel free to check them out below) the hero and heroine end up as partners in a pro-am dance competition. Maybe that’s why every time I’d write a scene for this book a song would pop into my head. Not sure. But it did. Even more than usual.
For example, the first time Izzy and Razor dance together, they dance to Etta James’s “At Last”. *sigh* Razor has no idea what the song is but he knows it sounds classy and it appeals to him just as Isabella does from the very first note. By the same token, the first time Razor shakes his booty for Isabella, it’s to La Roux’s “Bulletproof.” Okay, I know, not very subtle. Still, for a guy who’s survived three gunshot wounds in the series so far… it seemed appropriate.
Those are just a couple, I can think of at least four other songs at pivotal moments. So if you choose to read maybe you’ll listen to them as you’re in those scenes and hear what I was hearing as I wrote them. Above all, I hope you enjoy the story!

It’s like Christmas Eve for me right now! Tomorrow Razor will be out and about, unleashed on the world. You can already pre-order on Amazon here. To celebrate, I’m hosting a game with fun prizes! I’ll pick seven winners to take their pick from my stash of goodies including t-shirts, mugs, calendars, mousepads, notebooks, pens, autographed cover flats and more.
I’ll hop into the head of six different characters from the Men in Blue series during the countdown contest, one each day. To enter, leave a comment guessing which character is telling you about what they’re grateful for. I’ll leave all the contests open until release day so be sure to go back and do prior days if you like. You can also earn additional entries by retweeting my contest announcement each day or by sharing the link to the contest on Facebook.
I’ll put a list of possible answers at the bottom of the page (each character will only be used once during the contest). You can check out the blurbs and an excerpt from Razor’s Edge and Night is Darkest by clicking on the pictures in this post for clues. If you still don’t know, take a guess!
Okay, ready?? Here we go:
Mystery Character #6: “Testing… testing… is this thing on? Just kidding. Damn, Jayne is giving me the evil eye like I better take this serious. Something I’m not really freaking great at but she knew that when she asked me to share what I’m grateful for so I figure that’s her problem. I mean, what if I busted out that I’m thankful for pepperoni pizza and a cold brew or the sexy moan my girl makes when I… Okay, okay! No need to slap me upside the head. Geez. It’s just that it’s not easy to go open kimono on all my feelings and shit, like this is some lame after-school special. The last year has been rough and the scars I have to prove it are no joke. Above all, I’m thankful that I discovered the one person in the world who could understand the marks betrayal can make on a person’s soul and how much more painful they are then the ripped up flesh I’m still sporting on my chest. I only wish she hadn’t had to endure her own hell to understand. Oh, yeah, and I’m thankful for sports cars, too!”
Possible characters:
James “Razor” Reoser
Isabella Buchanan Carrington
Mason Clark
Jeremy “JRad” Radisson
Lacey Daughtry
Tyler Lambert
Stop by tomorrow and don’t forget to share the news on Facebook and Twitter for more chances to win.

Okay, ready?? Here we go:
Mystery Character #5: “Hey there, readers! How’s it going this fine weekend? Damn straight I’m cheery. My life rocks and I started out the morning with some of the greatest sex in the history of the universe. The other Men in Blue are giving me a look that’s all ‘Dude, tone it down’ but whatever. I don’t lie. The last several months have been some of the finest of my life, even counting in things other people seem to dread like buying a new house and preparing for a wedding. I’ll admit, every time I think of the big day I get some crazy grumblings in my stomach, like I ate some serious nachos, but it’s not cause I doubt for one instant that I’m making the right choice. I want everything to be perfect for mates (that sounds dumb but I don’t want to say their names, duh!). Nah, to me it’s more of a formality. Nothing could pull me away from the girl… and guy… I love ’til death and beyond. Above all else, I’m thankful they feel the same about me.”
