Outline

New York cop Sherry Abandonato cashes in her savings and dashes to Ningaloo in remote north-west Western Australia to find her sister who disappeared ten days ago.

The only one with the skill to guide her to Derremawan is Mason Hayward, once an official guide, and still with a reputation for getting people out of trouble, but now the town’s bad man.

In a searing afternoon of unexpected passion, Mason strikes a bargain:  He’ll get her to Derremawan, if she agrees to go there with him unconditionally, on his terms, and his conditions. Sherry is astonished to find herself agreeing to the insane bargain, and worse, responding positively to the idea of three days of Mason Hayward dictating terms out under the Australian sun…

Reviews

From Love Romance Passion

“…a smooth, well-executed, hot steamy read. So hot in fact, I’d attach the following warning. Tracy’s novella may cause:  Glasses to fog, an increase in blindfold sales, addictions to chocolate biscuits, a greater demand for hot Aussie men, increased sales of Ute trucks by single men, and stores will have to work diligently day and night to keep up with the demands of pink panties.  Changes in behavior to watch out for: clothes ripping behavior. If the Earth shakes again; its Tracy’s sex scenes causing an 8.0 on the Richter scale.

Comparable to the movie 9 1/2 Weeks . There are new explorations at every turn, with blindfolds, melting chocolate, and sex toys.  I recommend Ningaloo Nights for erotica lovers, those who enjoyed 9 ½ weeks, and romantic suspense readers. Mason’s character is every woman’s fantasy. He’s compassionate, caring, concerned, strong, endowed, and sexually dominating. There are no distractions from secondary characters, only brief appearances by (Bruce) Mason’s employee & police officials. Tracy focuses solely on the developing relationship between Mason and Sherry.

Ningaloo Nights contains loads of sex, some heartbreak, and a beautifully written happily ever after.  A hot read, indeed!”  – Susan Siglar.

From Two Lips Reviews

“This book is hot, hot, hot! The chemistry between Sherry and Mason sizzles as they embark on their journey through the outback. Mason is very imaginative as he introduces Sherry to sensual things she’s never tried before, including toys and chocolate Tim Tams! Sherry has to overcome her desire to be in control, but she finds that pretty easy with Mason’s persuasive ways. Ms. Cooper-Posey does a nice job of blending the scorching sex scenes with the flow of the story.

It’s a short read, but we still get to know the characters as they learn about themselves and overcome their personal obstacles. I’d definitely recommend Ningaloo Nights for readers who are looking for a quick read with substance, and a lot of steamy sex scenes. It’ll have you checking out the cost of flights to Australia!” — Clare.

From Just Erotic Romantic Reviews

This story is a quick, smoking hot ride through the Australian outback. I have a new appreciation for blindfolds, chocolate and sex under the stars. Mason and Sherry manage to make what would normally be a physically challenging and uncomfortable trek through the bush into one of sensual and erotic discovery. Mason is strong, sexy, perfectly dominant and caring. He is an alpha male of the very best kind. Sherry is a smart, strong NYC detective, but she is distraught that her sister may be in trouble and is determined to find her. Her vulnerability is touching, and Mason is in tune with her emotionally. They are perfectly matched and to read them discovering each other and see the relationship between them grow is very satisfying. Their romance is scorching hot at times and wonderfully tender at others. Everything about Mason and his dominant sexual side had me panting. The sex was literally burning hot with so much detail I almost went up in flames myself. Ms. Cooper-Posey never fails to deliver a wholly satisfying story and this is another wonderfully written tale that I can recommend to anyone looking for a romantic, erotic suspense story. — Leigh.

Tracy Cooper-Posey pens a tale to rival the hottest days in Australia with Ningaloo Nights. Steamy heat rises from the pages of Ningaloo Nights. With enough heat to melt the snow, Tracy Cooper-Posey brings the Australian summer to life. Mason was a sexy man and the only one with the knowledge to guide her to Derremawan. She needed him in more ways than one. Mason had his past to deal with and Sherry helped him too. Desire sparks so much more in the pages of Ningaloo Nights. Looking for a book guaranteed to heat up your own night? Tracy Cooper-Posey‘s book, Ningaloo Nights, is perfect.  Elise — Sensual Reviews

I don’t know much about this country, but the author does a good job of describing the layout of the land. When you’re on the camping trips, the whole landscape is very vivid…Mason’s dialogue seemed so right on target, I could even hear his Aussie accent in my head. The description of the characters were wonderful. They also seemed to stay true to their personalities throughout the book, even though they grew into more open people. This book is full of hot, erotic sex scenes with a wonderful, trusting relationship building along the way. When you learn of their sad pasts, it really makes you want them to have a happy ending.  Ningaloo Nights is well worth reading. It has kinky sex scenes from the very beginning, with an interesting story unfolding all the way through.Ammie — The Romance Studio

There seemed to be a lack of actual story with this book. I was sadly disappointed because I was expecting this wonderful adventure through the outback with Sherry and Mason. Instead I got a book that seemed to be 80 percent sex and 10 percent story.

I love a good smutty story as much as the next person but there should be a plot and a really good story with the smuttiness folded into it.

If you are looking for a book to read that is more sex than story, then I totally recommend this one.

Excerpt

Sherry changed her mind a dozen times over before returning at sunset. She had flown a long way and spent a lot of money to learn what had happened to Pepper and she knew in her heart that if she didn’t go with Mason Hayward to Derremawan to find out, she would live with the guilt for the rest of her life.

But what did Hayward’s “truth” really mean? His whispered words and the image they had painted kept reappearing in her mind—her tied down and naked while he did unimaginably wicked and indescribably pleasurable things to her. Why was she balking at the idea? Two or three days of sinful sex with a man she could forget about when she flew back to New York…so what was the problem?

The problem was that digging at the truth would destroy the cozy little shielded life she had built in New York. The muffled life. Yeah, he’d pinned that down, hadn’t he? Did she really want that disturbed?

Around sunset, she found herself standing beneath the gum tree without having consciously made the decision. She had made her way from her motel room to Hayward’s out-of-town property even as she was still debating what she should do.

Parked in front of the iron shed was a strange-looking vehicle with its hood up. It was a two-door truck—what they called a ute, here—with big tires but still low to the ground like a normal car. This ute also had a square iron frame attached to the back box, the same height as the cab and the floor of the box. She had no idea what the frame was for. There was another trailer exactly like the back half of the ute attached to it. Both the ute and the trailer were loaded with gear and equipment. Hayward was working under the hood of the ute.

“Hi,” she offered.

Hayward looked over his shoulder at her, then turned to look at her properly. He was wearing the pale tan trousers she had learned were called moleskins and a light cotton shirt, so fine she could see the outline of his shoulders and torso through it.

“No hat?” she quipped. “I thought all good Aussies wore hats?”

“They’re called Akubras and mine’s in the car,” he said, with a small smile. “Sun’s not a joke out here, you know.” He was staring at her. “You came.”

She took a deep breath. “Yeah.”

He dropped the hood closed and brushed off his hands. “Are you ready for this?”

“No,” she said truthfully. “But I’m willing.”

The confession seemed to surprise him. He considered her again. “Scared, Sherry?” His gaze was drilling into her, not letting her go, not giving her an inch of wriggle room. But that was okay, because this was a two-way street. “Yes,” she said evenly, staring back at him. “You?”

He took a breath. “Terrified,” he said flatly. He turned away. “Water’s loaded, there’s no reason not to get going straight away, get a few kilometers in before we need to camp for the night.”

“Sure,” she agreed, her heart thudding. She turned to head for the car herself and they collided hard.

Hayward grabbed her to steady her as she bounced off his heavier weight. “Driver sits on the right here, remember?”

She grimaced. “Yeah, ’course.”

His hands were still holding her shoulders, although he was avoiding the burned patch on the back of the right one. His thumbs moved in soothing circles over her flesh. “I’m going to do all the driving, Sherry.” His voice had dropped into that same purring, deep sexy voice he had used that afternoon.

Her heart was racing and suddenly she was wet again, her genitals as soaked as they had been early that day. “So you say, mister,” she shot back, her New York bluster rising naturally.

He lifted one brow. “Hmmm. You’re wearing the same dress as earlier. Did you replace your panties when you got back to your motel, Sherry?”

She bit her lip. She had replaced her panties. She had taken a shower but put the dress back on as the salve he’d used had already stained it and she hadn’t wanted to ruin another set of clothing.

“Take them off,” he told her now. “Take them off, or I’ll rip them off you.”

Her clit throbbed at the order. Silently, she bent and stepped out of her panties and could feel her juices gushing at the movement. Warm air brushed over her genitals and she felt wickedly wanton and deliciously bare. The image of Hayward bending her over the barbecue table, his hands on her ass, kept popping into her mind and she fought the impulse to glance at the table itself.

“Give them to me.” Hayward held out his hand.

She handed over the pale pink silk garment and he curled his fist around it and slid it into his pocket with a smile. “A delicate lady’s favor,” he said.

“Not exactly one you can fly from the pinnacle of your pavilion, is it?” Sherry pointed out.

He didn’t answer. Instead he turned back to the car, heading for the driver’s side. The right side. “Don’t bother putting panties on any more,” he said over his shoulder. “I don’t want to be troubled with having to take them off.”

Author’s Note

I had a lot of fun writing this book.  I grew up in Western Australia, not too far south of Ningaloo (as Australians reckon it), and when I was a teenager, my parents and I travelled all around this area of the state.  I have a very strong memory of camping out in the middle of nowhere in the Exmouth gulf territory one night, lying up and watching the stars and listening to the very deep silence that you can only hear up there in the north west.

So when I was approached by Ellora’s Cave and asked to write a story set in Australia that was typically Australian, and would make readers see the country just by reading the story, I didn’t have far to look for my inspiration.  Ningaloo Nights is part of the “Going Down Under” series at Ellora’s Cave.
