The Sex Education of M.E.
Page 23
“Whipped. Chained. Spanked. Tied up. Unrestrained.” I muttered between kisses.
“You didn’t mention plugged or flogged,” she giggled against my mouth.
“Still waiting to experience those before I add them to the list,” I teased.
“Well, how hard can it be?” she laughed, wrapping her arms and legs around me while she balanced on the edge of the counter.
“Hard,” I smiled. “Very hard.” I thrust forward to prove my point. But the truth was Emme taught me to love again, and with her, that wasn’t difficult at all.
It takes a village to publish a book, and this holds especially true with this one. I want to first thank Ana Ivies and the women of Ana’s Attic: After Dark, who were honest in educating me, and the women (and a few men) in my reader group, Loving L.B. who helped select name, occupation and minor details of this older couple.
Thank you to the steadfast Brenda Wright, Formatting Done Wright, and my new friends: Shannon Passmore (well, she’s not really new to me) at Shanoff Formats for the beautiful cover and Kiezha Ferrell at Librum Artis for edits.
A million thanks to ALL THE BLOGGERS #bloggersarebloggers and the hard work they put in for free to help share the love of books and authors. Additional thanks to Give Me Books for another fabulous release day blitz and Heather Roberts at Social Butterfly PR for a blog tour and marketing. I can’t fulfill my dream without this village of support.
HUGE thank you to Emerson Shaw and Brandy L. Rivers for hardcore beta edits. I am indebted to you forever for helping me be better. More hugs to Tammi Hart, Kali McQuillen and Sylvia Schneider for feedback and assurance that #OldLove works. AND love, love, love to Karen Fischer, who is an incredible proofreader/beta reader. I’ve come to rely on you so heavily for support and I appreciate that you keep giving it to me, Karen.
To my family, especially my #OldLove – for keeping it hot after all this time, and the four flames that came from that heat – MD1, MD2, JR and A.

Avid drinker of Coca-Cola, L.B. Dunbar loves the sweet things in life. Her affair with all things romantic began with her first book at the tender age of six: Goldilocks and the Three Bears. One can never forget her first! From there, the reading journey includes a deep love of fairy tales, medieval knights, regency debauchery, and alpha males. She loves a deep belly laugh and a strong hug. Occasionally, she has the energy of a Jack Russell terrier. Accused, yes, that’s the correct word, of having an overactive imagination; to her benefit, such an imagination works well. Author of over a dozen novels, she’s created small town worlds, rock star mayhem, and MMA chaos. Her other duties in life include: mother to four growing children and wife to the one and only.
