"Clam Jam"

Definition: the female equivalent of a cock block.

Example: You're chatting with a guy you're interested in and your friend comes along and lays claim to him.

Maggie

That's my life—except it's worse. My friend who keeps "jamming" me is my gay roommate and if that isn't a W.T.F. moment, I'm not sure what is.

Fact: He went home with three—yes, three—of the guys I had been so sure were into me.

Fact: He's really pissing me off. I mean, hello? I'm trying to get back in the saddle, but I'll never manage to get a boyfriend before the age of fifty if he keeps this up.

Fact: Secretly, I wonder what it would be like if he weren't gay. Why do all the hot, sweet, tender-hearted guys have to be gay?

Fact: My gay-dar needs a serious tune-up.

The day I interviewed for the room to rent, everything changed. I knew I had met "the girl", except there was one small problem: she didn't want anything to do with men. I recognized a top-notch force field when I saw one. She'd been burned badly and didn't want to deal with a heterosexual guy as a roommate. I could've turned around and found another place to live, but I wanted to live there—with her.

So I had to go "undercover".

Fact: I'm in love with my roommate.

Fact: I'm a likely candidate for carpal tunnel surgery since all the action I've had for the past year has been my hand.

Fact: She's going to hate me if I come clean now.

Fact: I'm not giving up. Which means, I'll just have to continue to run defense until I figure out a way to get Maggie to see the "real" me.

The me that loves her.

The me that would never do her wrong.

Until then, I'll keep running off every guy who shows any interest.

Until then, I'll continue to Clam Jam.

Excerpt:

Ry's lips against mine. That's all I can think of as I return to my room, closing the door quietly behind me.

My brain goes off on a tangent, imagining Ry's soft lips brushing against mine, teasing me, before his tongue sweeps inside to taste me. Leaning my back against the door, I raise my fingertips to graze my lips.

Is it possible to have kisser's remorse? You know, like buyer's remorse except, in this case, you've kissed someone and are really regretting the fact that it's over? If so, I'm pretty sure I have a serious case of it.

It might be terminal.

Walking over to my dresser, I slide open my top drawer—the one I keep all of my underwear and bras in—and slip my hand to the back. When my fingers wrap around what I'm looking for, I get that tense feeling. Like the time Sister Margaret caught me throwing away my salami sandwich in the second grade. Dang woman had eyes in the back of her head, I tell you.

Shoving that nagging feeling to the back of my mind, I reach for the two batteries, quickly inserting them before snapping the lid shut and laying my vibrator on my bed while I undress. Once I'm naked, I slide beneath my covers and turn it on, praying the covers muffle the noise enough that Ry doesn't hear—doesn't realize what I'm doing.

Doesn't realize I'm thinking of him while I touch myself. Oooh, yes, that's right. Naughty Maggie has come out to play. My mind begins to run rampant with scenarios. One, in particular, takes hold …

Suddenly, my bedroom door opens, and Ry's silhouette is in my doorway.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"I … um," I stutter, knowing I've been caught red-handed.

He steps farther inside my bedroom, and I notice that he's wearing only a pair of boxer-briefs, the outline of his cock pressing against the fabric, and he's hard. So hard.

"Are you touching yourself, Mags?" His voice is raspy, like he's just as turned on as I am. And the fact that I turn him on is just all sorts of hot.

"Yes," I breathe.

He moves closer, standing beside my bed. "Show me."

My Review:

Clam Jam by R.C. Boldt
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Clam Jam by R.C. Boldt is a standalone romance with humor in spades and the sweetest friends to lover story.

Ry just wants to be with Maggie - She is his one but when he can tell that she is faltering on him being her new roommate he blurts out that he is gay. What to do now? She feels secure post break-up that she doesn't have to feel threatened by her new male roommate because he isn't into girls, but she just CANNOT stop lusting after him.

Told in dual POV with some hilarious inner thought processes and Clam-Jamming situations I thoroughly enjoyed this read and think you will too! Enjoy!

RC Boldt is the wife of Mr. Boldt, a retired Navy Chief, mother of Little Miss Boldt, and former teacher of many students. She currently lives on the southeastern coast of North Carolina, enjoys long walks on the beach, running, reading, people watching, and singing karaoke. If you're in the mood for some killer homemade mojitos, can't recall the lyrics to a particular 80's song, or just need to hang around a nonconformist who will do almost anything for a laugh, she's your girl.

Q&A with RC Boldt:

What did you enjoy most about writing this book?

Maggie, with her internal dialogue, was the most fun to write. She was definitely quirky in her own right but, I like to think she's also quite realistic in voicing what I feel a lot of women think.

Name three things on your desk right now.

My planner, my Sharpie ultra fine point pen, and my laptop.

If you could trade places with anyone for just one day, who would you be?

My daughter, because I never went to Pre-K and I'm pretty much convinced I missed out on something HUGE. Snack time, going to the park, Art, etc. No homework, no bills, singing out of tune without any judgment… Sign me up for that.

What are some books that you enjoyed recently?

Managed by Kristen Callihan, Someone Like You by Lauren Layne, and Vicious by L.J. Shen.

Is there anything that you would like to say to your readers and fans?

I am so incredibly grateful for your support! I could never truly manage to put into words how thankful I am.

Can you tell us about your upcoming book?

Out of the Ashes is scheduled for release in May. It's a standalone about a Navy SEAL who was left in the hands of hell's cruelest gatekeepers and the one woman ready to show him that his life isn't over, that he's worthy of love. She might be the only one to prove to him that sometimes even a phoenix needs help rising out of the ashes.
