Ever fantasized about a lover who
liked to play games? Maybe about a cowboy who would take you in hand
the old-fashioned way? Or perhaps a young, strapping Marine in your
bed? In Barrie Abalard’s Six-Pack, stories of adults playing
games—poker, spanking, bondage, ménage (M/F/F),

isn’t the only thing that’s red-hot!

Reviews
(Poker Brat)
“I'm a huge fan of Texas Hold 'em and play in tournaments
myself so I
want to say a special thank you to Ms. Abalard for writing this
delightful tale! This short story was a fast, fun read and the heat
generated between Kat and CJ will have you getting out your playing
cards – at least to fan yourself and cool off!”

(Poker Brat)
“Barrie Alabard crafted a light hearted battle of wits
amongst the lively poker tables of Vegas, pitting two complimentary
characters against one another. It was quite a pleasant game to watch
unfold and the end results left me wondering who the loser was. 4
Angels!” -- -- Jessica,

(Poker Brat)
“"Barrie Abalard's POKER BRAT is a short story full of heat
(and not just the heat from Kat's stinging behind either!). Kat is a
woman firmly in control of herself but desires the freedom to let go of
her inhibitions. CJ is just as bold as Kat, but he keeps a tight rein
on his heart, until she slips under his erected barriers, scaring the
dickens out of him. This high stakes poker game involves more than just
cash and a spanking, it's the start of an unexpected relationship
between these two people who learn that there's pleasure to be found in
the loss of control.” -- Chrissy
Dionne, Romance Junkies, 4 Blue Ribbons
(Poker Stud)
“Las Vegas dealer, Lucy Brookfield would like to play poker
professionally, and hopes to ask Tyler O'Toole to be her mentor. The
man she has privately dubbed the Poker Stud is smart and sexy, but
apparently not interested. But when she finally approaches him, she
learns that Tyler would love to teach her a few things – and
not all of those lessons have to do with poker. Lucy and Tyler have
some very inventive ways to master poker, in this sizzling story. POKER
STUD is an engaging erotic tale.”
-- Jennifer Bishop, Romance
Reviews Today
(Exposed)
“Barrie Abalard has intrigued me with her storylines
involving poker players. I loved both of her other books with this
theme - POKER BRAT and POKER STUD - but EXPOSED has an additional
suspense element that really keeps the storyline hopping. The budding
romance between Tru and Lauren is ultra-hot and may very well give you
some naughty ideas of your own. EXPOSED is a well thought out tale full
of passion, friendship, love, intrigue, and a life lesson that will
remind us that sometimes risks are more than worth taking.”

“Ms. Abalard gives the readers a spanking story that has more
substance than just the heat between these two characters. She shows
how these two also share in the love and caring that they have for the
horses. With the secondary characters that help round out the story to
make readers want to know more about them also. With her eleven years
of writing spanking stories she's shown she knows what the readers want
and just how to deliver them. Even though this is a spanking story, it
is more sensual than erotic. The characters and storyline are well
developed and are the main focus. It reminds me of the John Wayne,
Maureen O'Hara movies where the heroine does things just to push the
hero into those spankings and knowing she loves them just as much as he
loves giving them to her.”

(Play Hard)
“Barrie Abalard's Play Hard is a great story ... The romance
between Felicia and Burt is explosive and very fast and I enjoyed the
sex, it was hot!.”
-- Stephanie B., Fallen Angel Reviews, 4 Angels
(Semper Fi)
“The novella is the perfect form for these three characters
to explore their sexuality. Abalard keeps the story short, titillating,
but with enough emotion to satisfy the need for a deeper connection.
With its ménage theme, along with scenes involving female
lovemaking, there is plenty of seduction to keep readers interested.
While certainly not a conventional love story, it still succeeds with
its romantic themes.”
-- Sarah Wethern, Romantic

(Semper Fi)
“Barrie Abalard has combined hot sex with a wonderful romance
story. The plot is strongly romantic, with enough sizzling sex to
completely entrance me. I was compelled to continue reading to see how
each character could attain the love they so desperately want. Ms.
Abalard displays skilled story telling and brings these characters to
life … This book is for readers that like exciting sexual
drama linked to a true romantic love story.”
