Synopsis

Emma’s had it bad for Professor Faraday all semester. Despite her best efforts, Luke Faraday seems immune to the brilliant blonde who sits enthralled in his lecture hall every day.

When Emma decides to confront her enigmatic professor and confess her feelings, Luke has a confession of his own to make. Will his confession send her running? Or will it send her running straight into his arms?

Either way, Emma’s about to get more of an education than she bargained for.

***This is a Dark Fantasies Novella, fantasy being the key word. Get lost in the story, hold off jumping to conclusions, and brace yourself for the sweet surprise waiting at the end.***

Excerpt

I roam in front of her, keeping my distance. For now. “I wouldn’t think you had much concern for privacy. Especially since I’ve caught you sitting in your car outside of my house late at night. What were you doing there?”

When her mouth falls open, I almost throw myself on her. That mouth. It will be my undoing, especially if she keeps opening it like that, parting it, gasping. Soon I’ll be drawing moans and screams from it, my obsession with it only growing.

“Were you watching me undress and climb into the shower? Touching yourself as you watched? Is that why you did it? To get yourself off since I wasn’t doing it for you?”

She pushes off the wall a little. “You knew?”

I circle closer. From this distance, I can smell her. From the scent of her shampoo to the scent that resides between her legs, the waiting is killing me. I need her. I have to have her. “Of course I knew. Why do you think I kept the blinds open and jacked off in full view?”

When my hand lowers to my crotch, stroking myself a few times through my slacks, she watches. She likes to watch. That’s why I gave her such a good show the last time.

“It wasn’t for the neighbors’ benefit, poppet.”

Her chest is moving fast, her breathing rushed. Horny little girl. “That was for me?”

I nod. “All of it. All of this has been for you.” Waving around the room, I end with pointing my finger between her and me. “Now it’s time to reward me for my patience and efforts.”

She steps closer and the sound her heel makes stabs the silence. “You’ve been planning this.”

If only she knew . . . she’d run. My obsession for her runs deep. It’s all-consuming. All-encompassing. All-powerful. All . . . everything.

“Ever since the day you walked through that door.” I point at the one she first came in through, the last one I’d locked, sealing her fate. “Now, don’t make me ask again—take off your shirt and let me see those perfect tits I’ve spent months jacking off to.”

Her breathing heavy, she stares at me like she’s trying to figure out an equation. Her eyes skim my body, making multiple visits to what resides below my belt. When they end on my eyes, her fingers move to her shirt.

She slips the next button free, then the next, until there’re no more left to undo. She never breaks eye contact. I don’t think she even blinks. God knows I don’t. I don’t want to miss a thing.

“Off,” I order when the shirt stays draped over her shoulders, hiding those glorious peaks.

Slowly, she pulls one arm free from her shirt. Then the other, until at last, the blouse spills down her back and floats to the floor. Her arms cover herself at first, but all she needs to see is my jaw going rigid before her arms fall back to her sides. She’s learning. Listen . . . or else.

Synopsis

Eve White is about to be sold to the highest bidder.

Desperate to escape a life she didn’t choose, she’s sent away from her foster home one fateful night to be sold as another man’s property. Determined to survive by any means necessary, she makes it her goal to cash-in on her circumstances and run, because Eve’s only focus is her boys. The foster brothers she grew up protecting are her only concern—sheltering them and herself, the best that she can. But a half a million dollars for two years of her time paid by a sweet, silent, dashing man is one wild card Eve didn’t see coming.

Asher Strong has spent his life with one solitary focus: her.
Haunted by a single night from his past, Asher has made it his life’s work to right the wrongs, but from the moment he lays eyes on the raven-haired beauty, everything changes. He becomes obsessed with protecting her, showering her in the love she never had as a child, and welcoming her into his home and his life forever. It isn’t long before the sexual tension between them ignites into a blaze that they are powerless to contain, until one more fateful night threatens to shatter it all.

*Warning: Asher is a virgin alpha-male with a giant heart who would do anything to protect his woman. If syrupy-sweet heroes and a delicious happily-ever-after make you swoon, White is the book for you!

Excerpt

“You were lovely tonight, Allie.” The man in charge from earlier reached for my palm and placed a soft kiss on the knuckle.

“I’d like to introduce you to Asher Strong. He’s quite enthusiastic about spending time with you.” The man’s eyes twinkled as they watched me turn to Mr. Strong.

I swallowed the fear and looked him directly in the eye, extending a hand. “I’m afraid we weren’t properly introduced earlier. Lovely to meet you.” I said the wordswith a saccharine bite.

Asher’s eyes flared for an instant as they dipped from my full, painted red lips, then back to my eyes. His gaze narrowed for a minute before he extended his hand and took mine. His touch was softer than I’d imagined. His eyes cut across the room and said so much behind the dark and intimidating gaze, but his hand was gentle, his touch respectful. He immediately removed his tux jacket and wrapped it around me, buttoning it up. His eyes quickly touched upon my bare cleavage, and his nostrils flared. “Grab me a scarf,” he ordered. The next thing I knew, one was draped across my chest, hiding every piece of exposed flesh.

My heart sped to a gallop when he raised my hand and placed a kiss at the top of my knuckles. “It’s a pleasure,” he murmured against my skin and sent flames all along my milky white flesh.

Excerpt

“I can’t wait to be buried inside you,” I whispered in her ear.

“I’m ready, but I’m scared,” she said softly with her eyes averted to the trees shrouding us.

“Hey, beautiful, look at me,” I whispered in the darkness. Her eyes opened slowly and she pushed one hand through my hair. Just her touch calmed every last ragged nerve I had. “Sweetheart, this is my first time, too. I waited a long time for you, for this. I couldn’t imagine being with anyone else but you. This is the beginning for us, baby. This is my forever,” I breathed and soothed her anxiety with a slow kiss on the lips. She cupped my stubbled jawline and reassured me with every stroke that she felt this, too. This thing between us was alive and real and pulsed just as steadily as the beat of our hearts. She was ready.

I returned her kiss slowly as I eased my cock into her, inch by slow inch. I wanted to make this feel as good for her as it already did for me. Nerve endings sizzled, and all the sense I had left my brain as I tried to control myself in those first few moments. Time stopped, and the cool breeze whistled through the trees as we kissed and I eased myself inside her body, reveling in the feel of her skin on mine. I pushed myself to the limit. With her, I pushed myself home.

When she thought everything was lost and had very little hope, Evie proved what an amazingly strong damsel in distress she is, but in comes Asher, the most PERFECT knight in shining armor!!!
Both virgins and a completely obsessed H, by his Evie, it doesn’t get much more perfect than this!!! And a surprise twist almost by the end, what are you waiting for?!
I loved every second of it, and I can’t wait for more of Aria’s contemporary fairytales, I devour them!
True ROMANCE at its best!!!! <3 <3 <3

Synopsis

When Alexander buys the land for his new airstrip, he never imagines the home on it is still occupied. But after he lays eyes on Liliana, he decides she’s his property now.

Eighteen-year-old Liliana has been tucked away her whole life. After her grandmother dies, she’s left alone with only her romance books to keep her company. She’s been surrounded by females her whole life, but when Alexander walks in the door, she knows he’s there to save her.

He’s claiming her, no matter how untouched she is.

Will Liliana fight or let Alexander have his way? Will Alexander keep her locked away or set her free? Will there be enough steam in this book to start your own sauna? Only one way to find out!

Warning: Are we still doing these? This is Alexa Riley. You should know the drill by now. This is going to be over-the-top dirty with all the sticky bits you like. Get in here already!

Excerpt

Chapter 1

*Alexander*

“I just want it torn down,” I tell Matt, the agent I bought the estate from, as I exit the car. I toss my suit jacket into the back seat, then roll up my sleeves. The house¾if you can even call it that¾looks like a fucking castle. It sits twenty miles outside of Chicago, and it’s the perfect spot for my planned private landing strip for the Boeing 747 I bought last month. I like privacy and this will give me that. The fewer people I have to deal with, the happier I am. I like to go to work and back home, but sometimes travel is unavoidable.

There’s enough space here to build the landing strip and keep the house, but there’s no need for it. I’d just have to hire people for its upkeep and I’d never use it. Might as well rip the thing down. Not like I have a need for a place like this. It’s breathtaking with an old-school feel, but my condo in the city is all I need. I live alone and I’ve never met a woman who tempted me to change that.

I’m doomed to be alone and I’ve settled into that. Work is my life. The thoughts of ever having a family of my own are long forgotten, though my mother still thinks there’s hope. I can’t even count how many times she’s told me the story of when my father found her working in some small coffee shop and practically picked her up and carried her out and he’d never let her go. Which is true. He has her tucked away on a nice little island right now, enjoying retirement.

“I thought maybe you should look inside first. You bought the whole estate as is, and I’m guessing there are still a lot of personal items inside. Maybe even art.”

I glance around the property. I hadn’t even looked at a single picture before I bought it. Just found out the land size and purchased it unseen. But looking around now, I can tell the place has a history to it. A stone wall surrounds the home, which is located in the center of the property. It looks like a fortress. It’s beautiful, but more than one man would ever need.

I run my eyes along the front, counting the windows and sizing up just how big it might be on the inside. Then I catch something out of the corner of my eye. Movement.

“It’s empty?” I ask, looking back over at Matt.

“Yes. There had been some staff still servicing the property, but they were informed that yesterday was their last day,” Matt says.

“I saw it, sir,” Black, my head of security, says, coming to stand next to me.

“Let’s go find our trespasser then.”

We head for the front door, my interest now piqued. Might as well take a look around if I’m going inside. I’ve already come all this way, and I cleared my morning schedule for this little trip.

“Sir, maybe I should¾”

I cut Black off by just holding up my hand as I continue walking towards the front door. He might be my head of security, but I still do what I want, even when he advises otherwise.

“Keys,” I snap, turning a little for Matt to throw them to me. I catch them and slide the key into the lock and the door pops open with a loud creak.

Then all the air leaves my lungs at the sight before me.

Standing at the top of the stairs is a young woman. The sunlight streaming in through the open door hits, and it creates a halo of light around her. Her hair is dark as chocolate and such a contrast to her creamy white skin. And even from this distance, I can see she has the brightest blue eyes I’ve ever seen. Her full, lush lips part just a little as she stares at me. My eyes travel down her body to the white nightgown that looks transparent in the light, showing off all her curves.

I feel myself harden at just the sight.

“Shit,” I hear Black say from behind me in awe.

It makes blood rush to my ears and jealousy course through my body like I’ve never felt before. It wraps around my heart, making me clench my fists.

Mine.

The word pounds though my head. I’ve bought the estate and everything in it. As of yesterday it’s all mine. That makes her mine, too. I can’t stop the irrational barbaric thought from forming.

“Out!” I shout to the room, making Matt jump and Black pull his eyes from the girl and take a step back. “Out.” I growl it this time, and both turn and step out of the door. I slam it shut and click the lock back in place.

I can’t bring myself to turn around. She looked like a fucking angel. Maybe she isn’t real. She looked too perfect to be real. The thought makes the air leave my lungs again. Slowly, I turn, and this time she’s closer than before, having come down the stairs. Her head is cocked to the side like she’s studying me.

I find myself taking the ten steps to get closer to her, stopping at the bottom of the stairs. It brings us eye level with each other. She just stares at me. Her eyes seem so big and bright now, her long black lashes giving her a doe-eyed look.

Her hand comes up, reaching out and touching my face. She runs it along the stubble on my jaw, and her mouth parts a little as her tongue comes out, wetting her bottom lip. It takes everything in me not to groan at the simple action. I want to taste her plump bottom lip for myself, then push my tongue into her mouth.

“You came,” she says, her voice filled with wonder. The sound is soft and sweet.

“I came?” I ask, not understanding what she means. She just nods her head, her dark curls bouncing with the movement. I can’t stop myself from reaching out and grabbing one. She doesn’t flinch like a lot of people do around me. I’m a big guy and my size can be intimidating. The scar running from the top of my left eyebrow down to my jaw doesn’t help, but she doesn’t seem scared at all. No, she’s looking at me like I’m looking at her. I’m no angel, far from it. But I like her eyes on me.

“Like in my books. You look just like I thought,” she says. Then she throws herself at me. She wraps her arms around my neck, taking me by surprise.

Oh, WOW…
Such a perfect, sweet and dirty little read! It had kind of a contemporary fairytale feel, to me. Liliana was somewhat of a Rapunzel, rescued from her seclusion by her ‘barbaric’ Alexander.
Like the warning says, OTT dirty all the way and I ADORED every second of it! <3 <3 <3

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: LOVEGAME by Tracy Wolff

Leave a reply

LOVEGAME

Author: Tracy Wolff

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Date: June 7, 2016

Publisher: Loveswept

Synopsis

Hailed by J. Kenner as an author who “knows how to steam up the pages,” Tracy Wolff delivers a darkly addictive novel of seduction and psychological obsession. The stakes are high in Lovegame, when a movie star with a shattered past meets a man who can either break her or make her whole.

True Crime novelist Ian Sharpe has spent his career writing about serial killers for very personal reasons. For his latest exposé, he is taking on the sadistic madman known as the Red Ribbon Strangler, and when his research leads him to Hollywood’s most private and provocative actress, he will break every rule to uncover her truth.

The daughter of one of Hollywood’s golden couples, chased by paparazzi and treated as a commodity her entire life, Veronica Romero wields her sex appeal like a weapon. She expects Ian to be as easy to control as every other man she’s ever known. But from the beginning, he refuses to fall into line. Mysterious and cool, challenging and just a little bit dangerous, Ian somehow makes her feel safe—even as he digs into the deepest secrets of her life and pushes her to the breaking point.

As raw ecstasy gives way to agonized truths, their dark obsession exposes secrets that have been buried for far too long. Ian wants to tear down her walls and heal the sensual woman underneath. But if Veronica’s learned anything, it’s that the line between pleasure and pain is a narrow one—and when caught between them the only thing that matters is how you play the game.

Lovegame is intended for mature audiences.

Header Lovegame

Veronica Romero has everything to the outside world. Daughter of one of Hollywood’s most renowned couple, this has always been her universe, and with the best from both her parents – her mother’s beauty and her father’s talent – she has secure her own role as the world’s top leading actress.

She might be pale, but the look she gives me is pure, unadulterated Veronica. Part Disney villain and part Jessica Rabbit, it’s sultry and defiant and a little bit of fuck you all wrapped up in a solid punch to the dick.

What no one knows is all the secrets and pain she keeps so well locked behind her sex vixen facade. That is, until a certain writer enters her life and sees so much more than any of them anticipated.

Ian Sharpe is an ex FBI profiler and currently a True Crime writer. He comes to Veronica’s life with the pretext of an exclusive and particular interview with her, regarding the role of her life as the murderess ‘Belladona’, that she has just now finished filming. A movie based on the best seller book written by Ian, and the perfect cluefor him to get close enough to Veronica, since she may hold the only clue on his current project, a book on a serial killer. That is his ending goal and obsession in life, to unravel the mind of a killer.

What neither of them had anticipated was the primal attraction and reaction they had with one another from their very first meeting, and they had no chance to fight it, even though they sure tried.

They both brought to light needs and personality traits they never had before and with anyone else.

Ian, who prides himself of always being in control of the situation, is shocked with the über dominant nature that Veronica brings to life in him. Which is the perfect contra balance for the her undiscovered needs. Her submission to Ian comes just as much as a surprise to her as his dominance came to him.

And then his mouth is on mine and I forget anything—everything—that I was going to say. Instead, I just sink into it. Sink into him.

And he lets me. More, he demands it of me.

Veronica was such a strong and incredible character, that is no wonder why Ian felt so draw to her. She has been fighting so many demons, and this latest role affected her so much more than she was expecting. But Ian helps her forget, in the most delicious ways…

429eb02536fc00059fa493c6217f3ad6

Ian was such an incredible and delicious character. He is not without his own demons, but his inquisitive mind wants to find out what Veronica is hiding behind this well constructed facade, to find out what makes her tick. Without giving anything away, I’ll just say he ends up discovering so much more than he bargained, even about himself.

She still looks beautiful, of course she does, but it’s a broken kind of beauty.

Haunted.

Fragile.

Shattered.

And still I want her. Still I want to bury myself so deeply inside of her that she’ll never get me out.

Veronica truly becomes his very own obsession, and the more he gets closer to her and sees behind her siren front, the more he wants her. More than he ever wanted anything else.

This was such an incredibly enthralling story, I devoured it in one sitting. Yes, it take a bit to develop, given its slow paced start, but after a bit it gets you completely hooked with it’s suspense. And have to doubt, for me it was an erotic psychological thriller at his best.

I love Tracy Wolff’s writing, and this book was no exception, the intensity of the characters, the emotional turmoil were key to this perfectly constructed tale. My curious mind was just has committed has Ian’s to find out all the hidden secrets, and the result did not disappoint. Another of the ‘stand-out’ aspects was the unmeasurable chemistry between the main couple. You could truly feel they magnetism while reading, as if something palpable, so much so that the sexual tension was knife-cutting, and translated in some wicked sexy and HOT sex scenes. Definitely one of the highlights of the book. The thriller and dark aspect only enhanced them, making them more memorable and erotic.

Lovegame was an emotional roller coaster ride that I will not soon forget. Ian and Veronica’s love story will make you go through every feeling in the spectrum, but in the end you will be grateful for that journey and the amazing epilogue guarantees you finishing with a smile on your face and an happy feeling in your heart.

“You sure you want me to be your happy ending?”

“You’re already my happy ending, Veronica. I want you to be my everything.”

New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff lives in Texas and teaches writing at her local community college. She is married and the mother of three young sons.

FLASH POINT

Series: Kilgore Fire #2

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: June 2, 2016

Cover Model: Quinn Biddle

Photographer: Furious Fotog

Masen Crisfield fell in love with Booth Jones when she was sixteen years old. Booth was the love of her life. The rock she needed to get her through the day. Then she rips his heart out while he’s deployed, leaving him wondering just what he’d done to warrant something so severe as a breakup that neither of them wanted.

Stubbornness is their middle name, and ten long years pass before either one of them try to breach the gap.

Circumstances force Booth to come home, and within an hour of him being back in his home town, there she is. Right back in the forefront of his mind where he knows she shouldn’t be.

The day he starts his first civilian job at Kilgore Fire Department, his worst fear of seeing Masen is realized. And not only does he see her, but he sees her with another man. A fellow firefighter that he has to trust with his life.

It soon becomes apparent that they are both still just as much in love with each other now as they were the moment they met. But there’s a problem. Booth’s married, and Masen’s in a committed relationship.

They fight the pull with everything they have, but they’re both about to learn the true meaning of flash point as their lives crash together. Their love consuming everything in it’s path.

Header Flash Point

Masen and Booth both made errors in the past that cost them ten years. Ten years that they have been apart but never stop loving and thinking about the other. So many things came their way that they couldn’t overcome, but after this long separation all these obstacles seem small, and were easily overcome in the very beginning of this story.

Teaser 1 Flash Point

Their love was that strong, and their magnetism was undeniable for everyone around them or even only reading about it. They were the ones fighting it, but not for long, because it was a completely lost battle. They couldn’t be in the same room or in close proximity without being drawn to one another, sometimes only with eye contact, but they had no way to avoid it.

“I fucking love you, okay?” I said. “I’ve loved you for so long that I don’t even know how to love someone else. Trust me, you’re it for me and always have been.”

Masen and Booth were both amazing characters, I absolutely love them, and more than anything, I loved how they loved each other! Both had such strong and particular personas, and it was amazing to see how incredibly well they fit and how much they defended the other’s ‘quirks’. They were truly perfect together!

We had EVERYTHING in this book, sad moments, LMAO scenes, heart-bursting happiness, nail-biting suspense – really, everything you could want Lani Lynn Vale gave to us, in spades…

“You’re going to trust me with your baby?”

“I trust you with my heart. Why wouldn’t I trust you with my truck?”

And lets not forget the amazing secondary characters, that together with the MCs show us the fantastic work the public servants do for us every day, here in particular , paramedics.

Paramedics, though, were a different breed.

They smiled while most would cry.

They joked while most would stay silent.

And with these little snippets of these delicious men (Kilgore firefighters), Lani managed to tease us with the upcoming books of the series, and trying to guess who is the next ‘victim’ of such an epic love, like Masen and Booth, which is hard to top, but I have all the faith in her incredible work.

Teaser 2 Flash Point

OMG, people!!!!
This book was fantastic!!! Really EVERYTHING I could only dream off, Lani Lynn Vale delivered! And I really got my – and I’m sure so many other readers – biggest wish, that one I almost didn’t dare wish, (SPOILER ALERT) they were both CELIBATE during the separation!(SPOILER ALERT).

Booth and Masen’s love story was PERFECT!!!
Thank you so much, Lani, for showing us that loyalty in Romance does indeed exist, and only makes the LOVE that much precious, and shine through! In a bad-ass way, of course!!!
This series is really knocking it out of the park!!! I can’t wait to see what comes next!

Masen and I, we had a relationship like none other.

We were destined to be together from the minute we laid eyes on each other and nothing would ever change that.

Not long years.

Not separation.

Not death.

We would forever and always be each other’s.

Synopsis

Adam Spencer loves women. All women. Every shape and size, regardless of hair or eye color, religion or race, he simply enjoys them all. Meeting more than his fair share as the manager and head bartender of The Odyssey, a hot spot in the heart of New Orleans’ French Quarter, Adam’s comfortable with his lifestyle, and sees no reason to change it. A wife and kids, plus the white picket fence are not in the cards for this confirmed bachelor. Until a beautiful woman, and her sweet princess, literally knock him on his ass.

Sarah Cox has just moved to New Orleans, having accepted a position as a social worker specializing in at-risk women and children. It’s a demanding, sometimes dangerous job, but Sarah is no shy wallflower. She can handle just about anything that comes at her, even the attentions of one sexy Adam Spencer. Just because he’s charmed her daughter, making her think of magical kingdoms with happily ever after, doesn’t mean that Sarah believes in fairy tales. But the more time she spends with the enchanting man, the more he begins to sway her into believing in forever.

Even so, when Sarah’s job becomes more dangerous than any of them bargained for, will she be ripped from Adam’s life forever?

Easy For Keeps - Tour teaser 1

Excerpt

Just when I’m on the verge of busting my own door down, I get it open, usher Sarah inside, and simply drop my keys to the floor, pin her against the closed door, and bury my face in her neck, breathing her in.

She plants her hands on my sides and fists my shirt.

“You smell so damn good,” I mutter and kiss the soft flesh of her neck. She’s pulled my shirt out of my pants and her hands are on my skin, and it’s pure heaven.

“Adam,” she whispers.

“Yes, sweetheart.”

“I’m going to need you to get naked now.”

I chuckle, delighted in her. I get the feeling that she hasn’t been with anyone in a while, but she’s not shy about what she wants, and that’s as much a turn on as her curvy body.

“I’m going to kiss every inch of you,” I say softly. My breath catches when she drags her hands down my sides and over my stomach. It’s a wonder I haven’t busted out of my jeans.

“I want a turn too,” she says, and that’s it. I need her. Need her. Now.

I push off the door and take her hand, leading her to my bedroom. When I turn to pull her to me, she rushes to me, and her hands immediately go for my jeans.

She’s in a hurry. When I glance down, her fingers are shaking, and she won’t look up at me.

She’s nervous.

We can’t have that.

“Sweetheart.” I catch her chin with my finger and tip her face up to look at me. “Sarah, this isn’t a race.”

“Seriously, get naked, and we can get to it.”

Get to it?

Under normal circumstances, I would agree with her 100%. I enjoy foreplay as much as the next person, but the main event is, well, the main event.

But I don’t want to rush this with her. I want to explore her, listen to her, smell her.

Savor her.

I grip her hands in mine and raise them to my lips, pressing a kiss to her fingers.

“We’re going to get to it, trust me, but we’re going to get there slowly.”

Header Easy for Keeps

For those of you that, like me, read all of Kristen Proby’s books, or in particular, the Boudreaux series, we know Adam as being Callie’s (Easy Melody, book 3) partner and bartender on Odyssey, their popular bar on New Orleans’s French Quarter.

He is the typical playboy bartender, and makes no apologies for it. The only permanent attachment he sees in his life is the bar, where he worked most of his life and always loved. Although he professes that he isn’t a ‘settling down’ kind of guy, lately he hasn’t been enjoying, or even taking part on the lifestyle. Maybe he is unsubconsciously waiting for something special to come his way… Or a certain couple of damsels in distress to cross his path…

Sarah has been widowed for more than three years, and has been completely dedicated to her five year old daughter Hailey and her job as a social worker.

When the sexy as hell Adam unexpectedly comes to her aid more than once, she can’t deny the deep attraction between them. Given that and his no-strings vibe, she decides – with a little push from a friend – that maybe he is the perfect man to get back on the dating world, even if it’s only for one night.

“This is the first date—aside from one bad one that doesn’t count—that I’ve been on. Frankly, life goes on, Adam. Kurt would tell me the same thing. Life goes on, and we have to live it.

Adam couldn’t be happier with that decision, but one night just isn’t enough for either of them. So, as day by day passes, their relationship evolves, as obviously so do their feelings, and although that scares both of them, they are all in. Specially when there is a little girl just as emotional involved as them.

Teaser 1 Easy for Keeps

I ADORE a single parent trope, specially a single mother, and this one was no exception. I just can resist seeing a big hot man, previous player, fall hard and fast for the mother as much as for the daughter, and Adam and Hailey’s interactions are one of the most memorable things in this tale, absolutely guaranteed to melt even the iciest of hearts. Hailey showed us Adam’s swoon-worthiness to a whole new level… Sigh…

Seeing how incredibly sweet they are together, Sarah didn’t stand a chance of not falling in love, and neither have we!

Adam and Sarah were incredible together. Sarah awakened his true alpha nature, first through his protective side, immediately upon meeting, and then, almost instantly after they start dating, his dominant and possessive instincts take over where she is concerned, and let me tell you, it was beyond HOT! Their sizzling sex scenes were just as enticing as their sweet and caring moments, and I couldn’t get enough! They that delightfully addictive!

Teaser Easy for Keeps

I completely devoured and adored this charming story, and although short – the only down point, in my opinion, because it leaves us wanting even more – true to the 1001 Dark Nights, the amount of fantastic moments isn’t in any way lacking. This little read indeed packs a punch. Kristen Proby has, yet again and true to her writing style, created an amazingly sweet, captivating and ultra sexy book. Easy for Keeps is the perfect appetizer to tease and stimulate our appetite for the upcoming book in the series, Easy Kisses.

“I love you, Sarah.”

“Wow. These drugs are good. I just dreamed that you said you love me.”

I grin again and kiss her cheek. “I did. I love you so much. For those few moments that I thought I might lose you…it was agony, Sarah. I didn’t want another minute to go by without telling you that I love you because I realize how short life can be, and we shouldn’t waste it.”

“This is a very serious conversation for someone on hard narcotics,” she says, but she cups my face in her hands and looks deeply into my eyes. “But I love you too, handsome. I love you so much that it hurts, and let me tell you, that’s a lot.”

Synopsis

June Mayson and Evan Barrister’s whirlwind courtship resulted in a secret marriage right before he left for boot camp. Evan knows deep in his gut that June is too good for him, but after getting a taste of the beautiful life they can have together, he’s unwilling to let her go. June promises to wait for him, knowing neither time or distance will ever change her feelings for Evan—that is until she’s served with divorce papers while he’s overseas and she’s forced to let him go.

Her marriage and divorce a well-kept secret, the last person June expects to run into when she moves back to her hometown is Evan. Angry over the past, she does everything within her power to ignore the pull she feels whenever he is near. But how can she ignore the pain she sees every time their eyes meet? How can she fight the need to soothe him even if she knows she’s liable to get hurt once again?

Is it possible for June and Evan to find their way back to each other again? Or will they be stopped by an outside force before they ever have a shot?

Excerpt

EXCERPT 1

Seeing Evan again is taking a toll on me, I can’t sleep and my mind is in a constant state of turmoil. I wake up in the middle of the night from dreams of us. The memories of him, of us are too much. Some memories have the ability to heal. The ability to light up the dark because the beauty of the memory is so bright you’re still able to bask in it.

But the memories of us are killing me slowly. They remind me that for one moment I had everything while reminding me it’s gone. It’s the realization that we’re done that’s killing me. The realization that I can see him but can’t touch him that he exist but he’s not mine is agonizing.

EXCERPT 2

He’s beautiful his body is a work of art I want to touch him, I want to know what It feels like to have his bearded face against my delicate skin, I want to know if the rough edges I now see are smooth to the touch.

“June.” My name in his course tone gets my attention but when our eyes meet its not anger he’s looking at me with, its raw, powerful, hungry possessiveness.

Header Until June

June and Evan have a past together, one that barely no one in her family is aware about.

From the very first moment they met, they knew they had found their other half. They lived a secret whirlwind romance, got married and made plans for their future. What they were not counting on was the aftermath of Evan being in the heart of a war. Coupled with his already existing demons, it made Evan push June away in the most final of ways. Or so they thought…

Coming back to your hometown and having to see the man who broke your heart, is the last thing June wants to deal with. But having him as her security detail is her very own private hell.

When two people that have this repressed volcanic chemistry between them have to be in close proximity, things are bound to explode at some point, and they such did! 😉

June was such an amazing character, strong, sassy, the perfect balance of sweet and spice. And being the daughter of Asher and November, how could she not?

Like it happened with most of her family, she felt that Evan was The One for her, her BOOM, from the very start.

It was the fact that when I was with him, I knew it was where I belonged. Right down to my bones, I knew that, I was meant to be his and he was meant to be mine.

But then he destroyed her without a chance to repair, and after so much suffering she decided to heal, and try to move on.

Second chance story aren’t really my favorite genre, because I get to nervous on how I will feel in the regards of the couples’ love, especially in the time of the separation, but here, Aurora Rose Reynolds worked it in the most perfect way. Yes, June tried to move on – something that normally it bothers me immensely in my romance reads – but in this story, it didn’t disturb me in the least. Actually quite the opposite, given the hurt Evan caused and the terminal way he ended things, I was happy that June didn’t remain pinning for him, and tried to go on with her life. But her feelings for him could never be erased that easily, if ever…

Teaser 1 Until June

Evan was a true ARR’s alpha, and I adored him! And in this book he was PERFECT! Yes, he made an huge mistake in the past, ending their relationship even if he didn’t see another way, at the time, but in the present, once he realizes that he was wrong in more ways than one, which happens in the very beginning of this book, he fights with EVERYTHING he has to win back June and her love because never once, since they met, did the stop loving her.

She wasn’t important—she was fucking vital, the best thing that ever happened to me.

I can’t tell you how incredible this character was, you have to read for yourselves and find out, and I promise you will enjoy every second of it!

Boy, oh boy, did this man do good grovel. June put up a fight and protected her feelings and emotions with herculean effort, but never once did Evan hesitate. He even told her as much,

I’ll always love you enough for the both of us. Always.

“I have enough love for the both of us. Doesn’t matter if you love me back. I’m not giving you space or room. You’re mine, June. You have been for a long fucking time and I want what we could have had to start now.”

This man had me swooning and sighing all throughout the story, and his love, loyalty, and devotion for June were unmovable, and one of the main reasons for which this particular second chance read worked so well for me. He was one of the best male MCs I have had the pleasure of reading.

Teaser 2 Until June

Another enrichment factor to this story were the amazing secondary character, and especially her parents, Asher and November. I had almost forgotten how much I love them. 😉

“If you need someone to talk to, I’m here, and if not, your mom doesn’t love you as much as I do, but I’m sure she’d hear you out too.”

But in Evan’s case, it’s proven more than once that blood is not the most important thing in a relationship, as he beautifully says.

Some people have the same blood running through their veins, but that blood doesn’t mean shit at the end of the day. When shit went down for you, I didn’t once think of calling my blood. I called my brothers. And the minute I did, they rolled out. That’s loyalty. That’s love and respect. That’s a bond stronger than blood.

I was so happy with these characters, but Evan really was my favorite, I couldn’t get tired of his brand of alpha sweetness.

“Are you crazy?” I ask when I find my voice.

“Was crazy for a while, baby. I also couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t even fucking take a breath. Three days ago, I finally took a breath, and since then, I’ve been breathing easy. So no, baby, I’m not crazy.”

And since it was coupled with an extraordinary dirty mouth, I understood how June couldn’t resist him. No sane woman could! He was sex personified, which combined with their chemistry created truly off-the-charts, sizzling HOT, sex scenes. This man was insatiable!!!

So beware you may need more than one cold shower throughout the read!

Teaser 3 Until June

Aurora Rose Reynolds is one of my all time favorite authors, and this book is the living proof of the reason why I love and buy all her books. Until June is the perfect cocktail of a sweet romance story, a pure ARR hot alpha man, a strong female MC, some amazing side characters – that get you hooked for the upcoming books – and enough spice and heat to warm an entire town during winter. She abundantly delivers us the most beautiful love story, with the most anticipated wrapping, the perfect HEA.

“The man I was didn’t deserve you. He didn’t even deserve to breathe the same air as you. But I do. I’m not the man I was then, and I vow, every day until I take my last breath, to prove myself worthy of you.”

(…)

“You have always, always been good enough for me. I fell in love with you—all of you—not just one piece of you that I thought was perfect. There was never a time I didn’t love you. You need to know that.”

Leave a reply

PHT-Ad

Pulling

Vincent and MacKenzie have found their happily ever after, and now they’re just kicking back and enjoying life.

But Mac is hiding something.

Vincent has known for some time, but he loves Mac more than anything and he’ll wait for her to reveal the truth.

Warning: It’s the same intense love as before, but this can be read as a standalone. So whether you’re new to Vincent worshiping his woman and Mac’s sassy mouth, or if you loved reading about them before and want to see how they’re doing, hop on!

Excerpt

“God, you’re so beautiful. I love you,” I say, tucking her dark hair behind her ear.

She bites her lip again, and I think she’s finally going to tell me. But just as she takes a breath, the door to the range opens.

“Yo, Casper! You done?” Knox shouts from the doorway, and I want to punch him in his face.

He can’t see us from where we’re standing, but she was so close to telling me. He knows we were in here fucking, so what could he possibly want?

“What the fuck do you want, Scribe? I’ve still got Vince twelve inches deep!” There’s a hint of relief in her voice, and I wonder if she’s thankful for the interruption.

“Pres wants a meeting.”

I hear the door shut, and we’re alone again. The moment has passed, and she’s not going to tell me right now, but hopefully it’ll happen soon. I can’t stand the wait much longer.

“Hey, everything okay?” I ask, holding her chin and kissing her lips softly.

“Yeah, just have some stuff I need to take care of.”

I pull out of her, and a rush of her cum and mine flows out behind me. She moves her shorts over. They’re soaked in the crotch, and she lets out an annoyed sigh.

“Don’t act like you don’t love that,” I say, reaching down and rubbing the wet shorts against her pussy. “I fucking love knowing my cum is smeared all over you.”

“Fine,” she says giving me a wicked smile and another quick kiss. “But you’re cleaning me up after this meeting is over. Get that tongue ready, Shield.” With that, she turns to walk out.

Tucking myself into my jeans, I follow behind her, smacking her ass. “Anything you want, baby.”

Header Pulling His Trigger

I loved reading more about Mac and Vincent. This book was the perfect addition to their story.

I adore how Vincent is so confident in his masculinity that he has no problem letting Mac take the lead. In fact, he values and gets off on her badass persona, allowing her to always be true to her nature.
Together they overcame her fears regarding motherhood, and with his help, she understood that she doesn’t need to loose who she is just because she will gain a new role, motherhood.
All this, a lot of sweet, caring moments and some incredibly hot sex scenes made this story the perfect little treat! And that little teasing moment makes me want Knox’s story now!

Mac and Vincent couldn’t be a better match! They’re the perfect contra-balance to one another!

“You know that just because you become a mom, it doesn’t mean you have to lose who you are.” Tucking another stray hair behind her ear, I tell her what she needs to hear. “You’ll always be you. Now there’s just another part of you that I get to love. And you get to see what life is like as a mom. With me by your side.”

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW: BLACKMAILING THE VIRGIN (Alexa Riley Promises #2) by Alexa Riley

Leave a reply

Synopsis

Welcome to Alexa Riley Promises. This series is dedicated to old romances. It’s tropes galore, with all of our usual over-the-top alphas and sweet cheesy goodness.

These short books will focus on traditional and classic tropes while sticking to the Alexa Riley code: no cheating and always with an HEA. That’s our Promise to you.

Blackmailing the Virgin

When Calder Cox sees Felicity for the first time, he has to have her. There’s nothing that will hold him back…until he finds out she’s his business partner’s daughter.

Felicity Chandler is graduating college soon but has no idea what she wants to do. While playing her violin one night, she sees Calder and feels instantly drawn to him. But when he tries to keep his distance, she doesn’t know what to do with all of her feelings.

Calder can’t be held off much longer, and when his control snaps, there are consequences. Felicity might be trying to run, but he’ll make sure she stays…even if he has to blackmail her to do it.

Warning: This is an Alexa Riley Promise, so it’s over the top, contains no cheating, and will always come with an HEA. It’s ridiculous baby-making drama that’s packed full of heat.

Excerpt

The past weeks have made me crazy with want, and I’ve done all I can to stay away. So many years my life has felt hollow, but since I found her on the balcony, something has changed. She crept into those empty spaces, and I need more. I crave her like oxygen.

Now, with her being this close, I can’t control it anymore. She’s too beautiful, the most perfect thing I’ve ever seen, and I feel so many things I’ve never felt before. Didn’t even know existed. It’s as if she’s brought something inside me to life. Felicity has turned me into a new man, woken me back up, and this new part of me must own her. In every way possible.

I strip out of my suit and throw it to the floor, and then stand there in my boxer briefs. I hesitate for only a second and then push them down as well. I know what I want, and I know she wants it, too. I’ve felt it between us, and I saw it in her eyes tonight.

I gently pull back her blanket, careful not to wake her yet. Looking down, I see she’s wearing a small T-shirt with her college crest on it and pale blue cotton panties. I’m a little surprised at her innocent underwear given how her dad had mentioned she was just like her mother. Then again, she didn’t expect me to come sneaking into her room tonight, so maybe that’s why she didn’t wear anything sexier. I like the look of these panties, though. They’re innocent and sweet, as if she’s untouched.

When I push away the blanket completely, I crawl into the bed on top of her.

Her eyes pop open, and she looks alarmed for just a moment before they focus and recognize it’s me. There’s a moment when she takes in a breath as if she’s going to scream, but then just lets it out slowly. She’s still as she looks into my eyes, the questions starting to mount. In the moonlight, I can see the blush deepen across her cheeks.

“Felicity,” I breathe the second before my lips land on hers.

I’ve held off as long as I could, but I have to taste her again. I have to claim her mouth as mine, because God knows who she’s given it to since we’ve been apart. I growl at the thought before pushing it away and sweeping my tongue inside her mouth.

She lets out a little whimper, but her hands go to the back of my head, holding me to her. Pressing the full weight of my body on top of her, I give into my urges and hold her tightly to me. My hands go to her sides and push the small shirt above her curvy waist, needing her skin against mine. My mouth moves to her neck, and I hear her say my name again, this time with a question on the end of it.

“What are you doing here?” she gasps, but her legs spread under me, allowing my steel-hard cock to press against her hot, panty-covered pussy.

“I’m giving us both what we need, sweetheart. I can’t stay away from you any longer. I’ve tried, but seeing you tonight was my undoing. Please, Felicity. Please don’t turn me away.”

Even I can hear the desperate plea in my voice as I beg her not to kick me out. I would pull away and leave her here alone if she asked me to. I would do anything she asked of me, but it would tear my soul into pieces if she did.

“Let me have you, Felicity.”

Header Blackmailing the Virgin

Just when I thought I couldn’t love Alexa Riley’s books any more, they prove me wrong!
I ADORED this one, and I’m specially loving this series!!!
With the old school HQ feel, a bit of angst is created (nothing OTT, no worries) which enhances the eroticism of the whole book. The storyline becomes much richer and holds you so captive that, like with a decadent piece of chocolate cake, you devour it in one sitting without realizing but, unlike it, when you find yourself in the end you have no guilt, only happy bliss due to the always present AR wonderful epilogue!

Ps. Yes, I compared AR’s book with a piece of chocolate, since they are both my (not so ) guilty pleasures!!
If you’re one of those chocolate cake haters (if there exists such a person, LOL) you can replace it, while reading the review, with your most coveted culinary indulgence.
Or better yet, just skip and go read this delicious story which unlike any food, it may lead you to spend some calories in the most creative baby making ways! 😉

FALLING UNDER YOU, a standalone novella brought to you by 1001 Dark Nights, is a delicious glimpse back into the world of Laurelin Paige’s bestselling erotic contemporary romance Fixed Trilogy Series! Grab your copy of this hot novella today!

FALLING UNDER YOU - cover

About FALLING UNDER YOU:

Norma Anders has always prided herself on her intelligence and determination. She climbed out of poverty, put herself through school and is now a chief financial advisor at Pierce Industries. She’s certainly a woman who won’t be topped. Not in business anyway.

But she’s pretty sure she’d like to be topped in the bedroom.

Unfortunately most men see independence and ambition in a woman and they run. Even her dominant boss, Hudson Pierce has turned down her advances, leaving her to fear that she will never find the lover she’s longing for.

Then the most unlikely candidate steps up. Boyd, her much-too-young and oh-so-hot assistant surprises her one night with bold suggestions and an authoritative demeanor he’s never shown her in the office.

It’s a bad idea…such a deliciously bad idea…but when Boyd takes the reins and leads her to sensual bliss she’s never known, the headstrong Norma can’t help but fall under his command.

FALLING UNDER YOU - RDL Teaser 1

Excerpt

After that, Boyd and I maintained the perception that Hudson desired, but everything was different. Though we still went through the routine we’d gone through for the past two years and still lived the roles we’d defined for ourselves, we’d reached a new understanding between us. We talked about our future a lot. It was our priority, and things began to change. Gwen got a place of her own, and Boyd officially gave up his apartment and moved in with me. He accompanied me to family dinners—even when Hudson was present. And little by little, I started tidying up projects at work so that I could hand them off to someone else if necessary.

Still, time went by. Thanksgiving came and went. The Monday after the four-day holiday, the annual executive Christmas party invitation arrived via intra-office mail.

“You can toss that,” I said to Boyd as he laid it on my desk.

“You aren’t planning to go? It’s at American Cut. Hudson’s rented out the entire restaurant. You love that place.”

I looked up from my computer screen. “I know. But it’s not as fun when I can’t take whom I want to take.” The year before I’d gone to the event and barely lasted an hour before I’d rushed home to Boyd and had a very different kind of party.

The corners of his mouth bent into a frown. Quietly, so no one passing by might hear, he said, “I hate that I’m the one standing in the way of you enjoying all the perks of your hard work.”

“It’s not really a perk. It’s one night. I’ll live.” But, the truth was, it was more than one night. My job required me to attend several events throughout the year. Time and time again I’d gone alone. I could ignore the looks and office gossip about my perpetually single status, but I despised not being able to share those occasions with Boyd. Sometimes I’d take him with me as my assistant, which was almost worse. At least at the office, I had work to distract me from pining for his glance or his touch. In social settings, it had gotten harder and harder not to brush my arm against his too closely, not to reach for his hand, not to behave too familiarly with him.

“Okay, then. If that’s what you want.” Boyd reached for the invitation, but I placed my hand on his wrist to stop him.

“You know what? It’s not what I want. And I’m tired of living like this.” I pushed my chair back from my desk and stood up.

FALLING UNDER YOU - RDL Teaser 2

Header Falling Under You

The Fixed series is one of my all time favorites, and this books was a wonderful addition to it.

Norma had always been focused on one thing, and one thing only, her professional career. Success was her goal, but lately she has been feeling that something is missing in her life, but not even she is sure for what it is. This confusion and warring feelings makes her take a chance and make a unsuccessful advance to Hudson, her boss, thinking that maybe he can give her what she’s been searching for.

She had no idea that her decision and his rejection, would trigger all the upcoming changes, and fulfilling of all her fantasies, by the person who she never allowed herself to dream, her assistant, Boyd.

As sure as I was that I could be in love with Hudson Pierce, I was in most definite lust with Boyd Barrett.

She was incredibly attracted to him, but there were so many professional and personal reasons for which she couldn’t give in to temptation, that she had barely allowed herself to fantasize about him…

But I’d never make a move on Boyd. He was my right-hand man, even at only twenty-six years of age—a detail often overshadowed by his skills and competence. A detail that I remembered again when I truly took a moment to gaze at the smooth baby face—which he usually hid behind a pair of nerdy, dark glasses—and his young, fit body. He probably had a six-pack tucked under those layers of clothes. I bet he could go for hours…

Boyd… Boy oh boy, was that man a delicious surprise! I was in the same state of shock (even after knowing about these two from the other books of the series) as Norma when he revealed his true/complete nature and his feelings towards her.

Teaser 1 Falling Under you

His other half, a sexy dominant persona, reveals to us a confidence and one of the more secure of himself personalities I had the pleasure of reading left me completely open-mouthed.

“And it turns you on to top someone at the top?”

Boyd ran his tongue along my slit then answered without looking up. “It turns me on that I can give you the one and only thing you can’t give yourself.”

“What’s that?” My voice was shaky, threadbare.

“A break.”

He did, not only, expose to Norma his feelings for her, and made her acknowledge and develop hers for him, but did it by also showing her a completely new world, where pleasure and love could coexist along with her professional career.

Teaser 2 Falling Under you

This short story was an absolute treat, specially for The Fixed series fans, such as myself. Like so many others, I’m sure, I was intrigued by their relationship, when it was hinted in the previous books, and their power exchange would work, on the long run, but Ms. Paige, more than delivered.

It was one of the most beautifully executed stories for this trope – older woman, younger man – that I’ve ever read, specially given their professional positions. My only wish was that the story could have been longer, for us to have the chance to see in depth their relationship develop, and going into the detail of some aspects that in this length could only be touch on the surface and looked over with the time jumps. Still, given the novella length, the storyline was perfectly explained, and its success was mainly, in my opinion, due to the maturity of Boyd’s character. He was truly wise beyond his years, which, coupled with his dominant side, gifted the trope and the balance between in and outside their professional atmosphere immensely. And let’s not forget their sizzling chemistry, which combined with his sexy dominant tendencies, provide us with some OTT HOT scenes. Lordy… Hot doesn’t even cover it! Guess you have to read to find out!

By the end we truly believe that love can overcome all obstacles, and that it’s ok to dream in having it all, a successful career and a incredible love life. Because sometimes those dreams do come true!

“I’d be very sad to have to go. But I can live without anything except you.”

It’s a busy job being a woman at the top, and as they say, lonely. But only if you insist on always being on top.

I’m one of the lucky ones who’s learned sometimes it’s better being underneath.

About the Author

USA Today and New York Times Bestselling Author Laurelin Paige is a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Game of Thrones or The Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine. She’s also a proud member of Mensa International though she doesn’t do anything with the organization except use it as material for her bio. She is represented by Rebecca Friedman.
