Kill Switch by Penelope Douglas

Release Date: February 11th

Kill-Switch-EBOOK (1).jpg

Kill Switch, an all-new standalone dark romantic suspense by Penelope Douglas.

WINTER

Sending him to prison was the worst thing I could’ve done. It didn’t matter that he did the crime or that I wished he was dead. Perhaps I thought I’d have time to disappear before he got out or he’d cool off in jail and be anything but the horror he was.

But I was wrong. Three years came and went too fast, and now he’s anything but calm. Prison only gave him time to plan.

And while I anticipated his vengeance, I didn’t expect this.

He doesn’t want to make me hurt. He wants to make everything hurt.

DAMON

First thing’s first. Get rid of her daddy. He told them I forced her. He told them his little girl was a victim, but I was a kid, too, and she wanted it just as much as I did.

Step two… Give her, her sister, and her mother nowhere to run and no fuel to escape. The Ashby women are alone now and desperate for a knight in shining armor.

But that’s not what’s coming.

No, it’s time I listened to my father and took control of my future. It’s time I showed them all—my family, her family, my friends—that I will never change and that I have no other ambition than to be the nightmare of their lives.

Starting with her.

She’ll be so scared, she won’t even be safe in her own head by the time I’m done with her. And the best part is I won’t have to break into her home to do it.

As the new man of the house I have all the keys.

Kill Switch is suitable for readers 18+. While it can be read as a stand-alone, all of the characters are developed throughout the series. The first two books, Corrupt and Hideaway, are now available through Kindle Unlimited!

Excerpt

WINTER

“I’m sixteen, and I’ve never been kissed.” I put my hands on his chest, feeling my breasts grazing his body. “I waited for you.”

“Winter…”

“I waited for you,” I repeated, panting and brushing his lips with mine. “But I won’t wait forever.”

I layered my lips with his and dipped my tongue out, flicking his lip as I rolled my hips on him. The unmistakably hard ridge of his cock rubbed against my panties through his jeans, and I moaned.

He grabbed me under my arms, holding me up to his face. “That better not be a threat,” he bit out.

And then he took my face in one hand and snatched up my lips, biting my bottom one, almost chewing it like he was starving.

He groaned, I whimpered, and we both gave in, holding each other in our arms, our mouths melting together.

I was fast and clumsy, and I couldn’t keep up with his kisses and tongue in my mouth, but I loved every second.

He nibbled and bit and took with force, gripping the back of my hair to tip my head back and eat at my neck. He moved from my throat to my chin to my jaw and then back to my mouth, and I clutched at his shoulders, tugging on his sweatshirt as I dry-humped him. God, I couldn’t stop myself. He felt so good. It was like an itch that I needed to scratch more and harder.

I tugged at my bow tie, unable to breathe.

Pulling it loose, I unbuttoned my top button, finally feeling freer and diving in, hugging him to where he was sucking on my neck.

My hips moved back and forth, grinding into him

“Winter…” he groaned, pulling back. “I don’t want to…”

I picked up pace, and he grabbed my ass, helping me move.

“Don’t want to what?” I gasped out.

“Make you dirty.”

I slowed, touching his mouth with mine and kissing him softly.

Why would he think that?

“You won’t.” I shook my head, touching his face. “We won’t go all the way. We’ll just play.”

He breathed out a laugh.

I kissed him, and he dug his fingers in again, making my body explode and every inch of skin come alive. God, I loved it when he did that.

PRERELEASE BLITZ: Would Be King by Kim Karr

I dare him not to fall in love with me…

Would Be King by Kim Karr releases on February 27th!

ADD TO YOUR TBR — http://bit.ly/WouldBeKingGR

Blurb

A dare turns into so much more…

All I want to do is get to work on time.
But a Prince Harry look-a-like is trying to steal my cab.
And that’s not going to happen.

In the midst of the battle,
I discover I lost my wallet.
So I bargain—a free ride for a kiss.

His lips taste like mint, and when he tugs me closer,
I can feel the hard muscles beneath his expensive suit.
The kiss ends just as we reach our destination,
and I rush out without so much as a goodbye.

But fate, that bitch,
Has us pounding on the same locked door.
Already knowing I’m going to be fired,
I curse my new boss and his new rules.
The hot suit laughs,
And dares me to tell my new boss what a dick he’s being.
With nothing to lose, I accept.

Never in a million years could I have imagined he is my new boss.
Dating him is against the rules.
His rules.
He doesn’t seem to care.
Turns out he’s more than a rulebreaker.
He’s royalty…and in danger.

When Prince Maximus Montgomery tells me we need to keep things quiet,
I taunt him with a dare of my own.
Unbeknownst to me, it’s a dare that could cost him his life.
Is it too late to take it back?

There’s a reason rules aren’t meant to be broken…
And finding that out is the hardest thing I’ll ever have to do in my life.

This is a STANDALONE romance.

COVER REVEAL: DIARY OF A BAD BOY by Meghan Quinn

Dear Diary,

I might have gotten myself into a wee bit of trouble—and I’m not talking about the “court mandated community service,” or “therapy sessions from bashing a bloke in the head” kind of trouble.

I wish it were that simple.

Nope. I’m talking about the “falling in love with one of my client’s daughters,” kind of trouble . . .
The kind of problem I can’t talk my way out of when the truth gets out.

How I ended up with her phone is a long story—and when she called to get it back, I took things a bit too far. One innocent exchange wound up leading to so much more.

Fun, new, and totally immune to my charm, Sutton is different. And I had no idea she was the daughter of Foster Green.

Blame it on the dark colored stout running through my veins, pushing me toward one bad decision after another. Pushing me toward her even though I know right from wrong; even though she’s my client’s daughter.

Dating her might be the best or worst decision I’ve ever made. Only time, whiskey, and one more roll around the mattress with her will tell.

COVER REVEAL: F-BOMB by Lani Lynn Vale

You murder a man, and all of a sudden people are scared of you.

Slate Solis went from being a guy that people went to in times of need to an ex-con that people crossed the street to avoid being too close to.

He knows he’s done wrong, but out of all of his sins, only one really bothers him—coveting thy neighbor’s wife.

Harleigh Belle—the cute little lady that never gives him a second glance.

After seeing her for the first time while he was in prison, she’s stayed on his mind for three long years. Each time she comes in to visit with her friend on family day, he can’t help but stare.

Then the day comes that he’s set free, and he’s almost disappointed that he’ll never see her again.

Except fate has different plans.

He hasn’t been back in his house for more than three hours when he sees her.

Harleigh Belle in all her glory…oh, and her husband that is everything Slate isn’t.

He tells himself that her being fifty feet away from him, all day every day, is a complete coincidence. One that he shouldn’t take advantage of. The more time passes, the harder it gets to stay away. Until one day, and one very ill-timed thunderstorm, ruin everything.

Who knew that baby-making-weather was a real thing?

Blurb

Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.

But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.

He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.

About the Author

With over 2.4 million books sold worldwide, Laurelin Paige is a New York Times, Wall Street Journal and USA Today Bestselling Author. Her international success started with her very first series, the Fixed Trilogy, which, alone, has sold over 1 million copies, and earned her the coveted #1 spot on Amazon’s bestseller list in the U.S., U.K., Canada, and Australia, simultaneously. This title also was named in People magazine as one of the top 10 most downloaded books of 2014. She’s also been #1 over all books at the Apple Book Store with more than one title in more than one country. She’s published both independently and with MacMillan’s St. Martin’s Press and Griffin imprints as well as many other publishers around the world including Harper Collins in Germany and Hachette/Little Brown in the U.K. With her edgy, trope-flipped stories of smart women and strong men, she’s managed to secure herself among today’s romance royalty.

Paige has a Bachelor’s degree in Musical Theater and a Masters of Business Administration with a Marketing emphasis, and she credits her writing success to what she learned from both programs, though she’s also an avid learner, constantly trying to challenge her mind with new and exciting ideas and concepts. While she loves psychological thrillers and witty philosophical books and entertainment, she 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 Michael Fassbender. 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.

REVIEW TOUR: TINSEL by Devney Perry

Sofia Kendrick has always cherished her tiara. As the youngest daughter of a wealthy New York family, she’s lived the life of an American princess. But after two scandalous divorces and a breakup smear her name across the society rags, the shine from her crown has dulled. People call her superficial, even gaudy.

She’s nothing more than tinsel.

Desperate for escape and starving for peace, Sofia heads to Montana for a holiday weekend with her brother. But she doesn’t get the relaxing vacation she planned. Instead, she’s put to work in a bar alongside Dakota Magee—a man who does not want her help. A man who is set on teaching her a few lessons about real life and hard work. But Sofia has a couple of life lessons of her own to teach. Like how to fall in love.

My Review

Readers who are familiar with Devney Perry’s Lark Cove series know exactly who Logan’s younger sister, Sofia, is because we met her in Tattered, and I wouldn’t be surprised if many went into Tinsel, Sophia and Dakota’s story, with a less than stellar opinion of her after the antics she pulled in book one of the series.

But that’s exactly why I love characters who become main characters after they’ve been introduced in a secondary role in a previous book because what I’ve learned is that a first impression is just that – one small glimpse into who that person is and what makes that person tick, and while the circumstances surrounding Sofia’s mistreatment of Thea were uncalled for, portraying Sophia as a petty and spoiled little rich girl, when I saw that she would be the heroine in Tinsel, I just knew that there was a whole other layer of who she was and I couldn’t wait to see how her love interest/hero would help reveal exactly who this misunderstood and underestimated woman is beneath her expensive exterior.

Lark Cove is a definite change of pace for Sofia and her amenities as well as the expectations of her are beyond different to what she’s used to, but that doesn’t mean that she thinks she’s better than the residents of Lark Cove or that it’s beneath her…it just means that she’s never had to rely on herself to accomplish daily living tasks, and now that she has to, she’s a work-in-progress but the idea that she’s willing to learn…willing to make mistakes…willing to prove to everyone around her that she’s more than her looks and her no-limit credit card.

‘It was time for me to do more with myself than stay a career socialite. It was time to stop being the superficial, petty, and naive woman who’d been portrayed as nothing more than tinsel in that magazine article.’

Everyone had an idea of who she should be, of what she should do, but she’s not like other people – she is who she is, and while she did have some growing up to do and the new version she was creating of herself was still under construction, she was finding herself…she was finding her passion and that’s all anyone can ask for from someone who they love.

Sophia and Dakota may come from very different worlds, but the fact that they listen to one another and support each other is all they need to make a relationship grow and work; it’s amazing where their attraction and connection take them after their initial interaction. But like Sophia, Dakota has some baggage of his own that must be dealt with and he’s still finding his own path in life – one that has his family and their traditions as not really points of contention but just a difference of opinion when it comes to where Dakota should be and who he should be with

I really enjoyed Sophia and Dakota’s story, and even though I usually hate time gaps – even if it’s just a few months or a bit more – I truly felt like those gaps between them being together, given that they don’t live in the same state, went along with the idea of both of them trying to find their true selves…their happiest selves – the ones who know what and who they want and aren’t ashamed or afraid to say so. 

Be bold. Find your magic. Chase the impossible.

These are great pieces of advice and the fact that they all describe the main characters in every single story in Devney Perry’s Lark Cove series makes it just a bit easier to say goodbye to this group of fabulous characters and their beautifully told stories.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW: MOTION by Penny Reid

LOP_MOTION.jpg

One week.

Home alone.

Girl genius.

Unrepentant slacker.

What’s the worst that could happen?

Mona is a smart girl and had everything figured out a long time ago. She had to. She didn’t have a choice. When your parents are uber-celebrities and you graduate from high school at thirteen, finish college at seventeen, and start your PhD program at eighteen, you don’t have time for distractions outside of your foci. Even fun is scheduled.

Which is why Abram, her brother’s best friend, is such an irritant.

Abram is a talented guy, a supremely gifted musician, and has absolutely nothing figured out, nor does he seem to care. He does what he feels, when he feels, and—in Mona’s opinion—he makes her feel entirely too much.

Laws of Physics is the second trilogy in the Hypothesis series; Laws of Physics parts 1 (MOTION) & 2 (SPACE) end with a cliffhanger.

My Review

I’ll admit…I’m not scientifically minded; my brain doesn’t compute in numbers and formulas. I’m a words’ girl, which is why Penny Reid’s stories make this nerdy word girl all kinds of happy; Reid easily incorporates her knowledge of the ‘science of things’ into her books, conveying the data and intricate details in a way that clearly illustrates their meaning through the characters’ internal musings and outward actions, which means that by the time readers finish one her smart romances, we’ve not only read an entertaining romance but, in some ways, we’ve been educated in any number of topics without feeling like our heads will explode with the information.

Penny Reid’s newest release, Motion, book one in her Laws of Physics series creatively weaves Newton’s Laws of Motion into a story line that forces two seemingly opposite characters together, shaking up the heroine’s carefully structured existence by placing her in an awkward, uncomfortable, and confusing situation with a gorgeous but messy hero who seems offended by her very presence due to a past encounter that the heroine has no recollection of since she’s pretending to be her twin sister – who she looks exactly like but is different in everything else when it comes to their lives and their personalities.

Like all of Reid’s heroines, I adored Mona – she’s quirky, brilliant, and moral, She’s guided by facts and reason, leaves nothing to chance, and doesn’t like the unknown, but therein lies the problem…there’s nothing logical or honest about what she’s agreed to do for her twin and the fact that she’s attracted to her ward – Abram, her brother’s best friend – only further complicates an already dicey situation. She’s not used to feeling the way she does around Abram and the fact that she’s essentially living a lie has disaster written all over it.

I don’t know quite what to think about Abram yet, but I’m eager to get more details about him in order to understand his attitude towards ‘Lisa’ at the beginning of Motion and the small changes in his demeanor as he gets to know this version of her – Mona’s version. It’s clear that he’s attracted to Mona, but it’s not something that she can rely on because she’s pretending to be her sister, and for someone who bases her decisions on factual data, Mona cannot reach any conclusions about Abram or the way he feels about her.

I can’t end my review of Motion before discussing one of the secondary characters who I seem to have a love/hate relationship with…Gabby. At the beginning of the book, I hated her and the way she treated Mona – who she used to be close to – but the further into the story I read, I started to see beneath her snark and vanity, and while I can’t say I want Mona to heed all of Gabby’s advice, what I can say is that Gabby does seem to be looking out for Mona more than she was, but I guess I’ll have to wait for the next book to confirm or deny my hypothesis!!

EXCERPT REVEAL: WHEN AUGUST ENDS by Penelope Ward

Excerpt

Noah stood up and walked off the porch to put his cigar out on the cement. When he returned, he remained standing across from me. I was reminded of just how tall he was as he towered over me. A breeze blew his scent—a mix of cigar and cologne—in my direction. The same smell saturated the shirt I was wearing. I could’ve breathed it in all night. His nearness was doing things to my body I hadn’t ever felt.

Noah looked around. “You mentioned some stuff around here needs to be repaired. What specifically?”

I blew out a breath. Even thinking about it was exhausting. “So much. I’d have to make a list.”

“Why don’t you do that? Make a list. I’m pretty good with my hands. I’ll see if there’s anything I can help with while I’m here.”

He’d lost me at pretty good with my hands. My imagination was running wild. Shit. I imagined those hands doing a lot of things—mostly to me.

“I can’t let you do that.”

“You’d be stupid not to take me up on it. I came for a change of pace, but the truth is, too much quiet isn’t good. I like to keep busy.”

Biting my bottom lip, I shook my head. “I don’t know…”

“Make the list,” he insisted.

Noah was right. It would be dumb not to take him up on his offer. It wasn’t like there was anyone else knocking down our door to help.

I tilted my head. “What would be in it for you?”

His expression turned dark. “People don’t always have to have ulterior motives.”

Suddenly feeling bold, I said, “I thought maybe you would want me to go out with you in exchange.”

Did you hear that? It was a record screeching.

I admit, that was ballsy, but being around him brought out my flirtatious side. Maybe his cologne and cigar smoke were going to my head.

“You’re joking, right?”

Okay. I shouldn’t have asked.

“Actually, I—”

“I’m practically old enough to be your father.”

Really? That’s how he saw me? I knew he was older than me…but he didn’t seem that old. No way. I’d pegged him as early thirties, though I truly had no idea how old he was.

I shook my head. “No, you’re not. That’s a lie. An older brother, maybe. How old are you?”

Instead of answering, he took two steps forward. “Let me make something clear.”

“Okay…”

“I was not insinuating anything by offering to help. And I will not be asking you out, propositioning you, or going anywhere near you, for that matter. We clear on that?”

Okay, then.

I swallowed. Disappointment washed over me as I cleared my throat. “Yes.”

“Good.” He made his way toward the door, turning around one last time. “You’d better go. It was nice chatting. Get me the list tomorrow.”

He disappeared into the house, leaving me on the porch to wallow in his lingering smell and feeling like a complete and utter idiot.

PWWhenAugustEndsBookCoverTITLE1.png

A Standalone Contemporary Romance Novel

NY Times, USA Today, and #1 Wall Street Journal Bestselling Author Penelope Ward

RELEASE DATE: February 25, 2019

Synopsis

What do you do when a sexy, older man moves into your family’s summer rental?

Well, apparently, you make a fool of yourself—over and over. Things didn’t exactly get off on the right foot with Noah Cavallari. Our first encounter was embarrassing, to say the least.

But despite that, I found myself waking up every day with a new-found energy. Nothing exciting ever happened on the lake—not until Noah moved into the small boathouse on our property. He’d booked it for the entire summer…and I was still trying to figure out why.

When my mother became ill, I inherited the responsibility of making sure our guests were well taken care of. I should have been in college. Instead, I was living my best life…as a maid.

Dark, handsome, and mysterious, everything about Noah screamed forbidden.

I knew he was just passing through town for the sum-mer.

I knew he was probably too old for me.

Yet, I was drawn to him.

Not to mention, he tried to save my life when he mistakenly thought I was drowning.

I wanted him and made no secret of it.

His own attempts to warn me away soon gave way to late-night moonlight chats by the lake. We were slowly easing into a friendship that was gearing up to explode into something I might not recover from.

Because he’s leaving at the end of the sum-mer.

And I have no idea what I’ll do when August ends.
