Chase Hansen. Broke. College drop out. Male stripper.

My life wasn’t at all what I imagined it would be. I should have been finishing up college, interning with a well-respected business, partying with my friends. But instead, I was raising my seventeen year old brother, struggling to make ends meet. Love wasn’t even on my radar. Besides, what did I have to offer? A few crumpled singles pulled from my G-string? Defeated and exhausted, I knew I had zero chance of finding someone to love me just as I am.

Noah Carpenter. Angry. Betrayed. Doctor.

Just when I thought my life was going exactly as it should, everything turned upside down. With my final rotation in medical school complete, I finally achieved my lifelong dream of becoming a doctor. What I never expected was to catch the man of my dreams in our bed with the man of his. Beyond infuriated, I struggled to piece together the remnants of my life. Just when I’d decided to give up on love altogether, I found a man who loved me just as I am.

Review

Chase Hansen and Noah Carpenter had to face circumstances in their life that changed the dynamics of who they were and what they wanted, and I think that it would be safe to say that neither of them was prepared to be thrown off the course they felt their lives were headed, and as they attempt to pick up the pieces, it’s abundantly clear that they feel defeated and hopeless and wonder if they’ll ever have a significant other who stands by them and loves them as they are.

Because of the death of his parents, Chase Hansen had to make sacrifices in order to be his younger brother’s guardian, and while he doesn’t blame Benny for how different his life had to be, Chase can’t seem to find even a small amount of personal happiness, and it’s this defeatist mentality that sends him spiraling and stripping in order to make ends meet. What the change in his life’s direction also does is make him feel even more alone and unworthy.

Noah Carpenter thought he had it all – the career of his dreams, a long-term boyfriend, and a life he thoroughly enjoyed, but with one act of betrayal, his ‘ideal’ life comes crashing down, and he finds himself giving up on the idea of love and everything that comes with it.

But as much as circumstances occur that force people to reevaluate and redefine their lives, life can also guide them towards an unexpected opportunity, which is exactly what happens when Noah heads to Chase’s place of employment and finds himself unable to take his eyes off a certain male dancer, reigniting a desire that he thought he would never get back and giving him a new path to follow – one that might just allow him to be himself and be loved for everything he is and not disliked for what he can’t provide or what someone else finds lacking about him.

Chase and Noah want so desperately to be loved and accepted, which is completely understandable, but for this very reason, they seem to get caught up in their baggage too often, resulting in extremely immature actions and reactions, which also made it feel like they were fighting more than they were building a solid relationship. A part of me understands why Chase and Noah were so guarded…Chase doesn’t have any experience of being in a relationship and for the most part, he was still ‘in the closet.’ Also, because Noah was burned by his long-term boyfriend, he has every right to be cautious, but I think they lost sight too quickly of what ‘could be’ between them, making them be reactive instead of proactive.

Despite the fact that I was frustrated with how extreme Chase and Noah took things when they were upset with one another, I still very much enjoyed As I Am. Chase and Noah’s respective journeys as well as the one they take as a couple are extremely relatable because there isn’t a person on this Earth who doesn’t want others to see them for who they are and not for who the other people want that person to be. And as difficult as it was for Chase, he does right by his brother and their relationship grows, which is something that both of them needed to have happen.

The coincidences or fateful events that occur in the book illustrate just how much everyone is connected and how those same situations can be a catalyst of change at some point in the future, and I really enjoyed how Melissa Collins handled Chase and Noah’s ‘connection’ and how it clearly redefined their lives.

As I Am is both a heartbreaking and heartwarming story about people’s need to be accepted -not only by other people but also by themselves, because it’s pretty much impossible for others to understand and accept all that someone is without them doing so first, which I think was a big part of the miscommunication and lack of understanding that occurred in the story.

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Four guys.

Constant moaning.

And a revolving door across the college suite I somehow ended up in because my first name is Shawn.

They don’t discriminate. Girls. Guys. Grandmas. Plants (okay maybe not plants) all walks of life stroll in stressed to the brim, and leave so satisfied I’m wondering what sort of talents lie behind that door.

My roommate calls them the pleasure ponies.

But the rest of the college campus?

They just call them the new face of Wingmen Inc. A paid for relationship service that makes big promises.

Breakup? They’ll glue you back together again.

Depressed? They have the magic pill.

Lonely? Just spend a few minutes while they rub you down and you’ll forget all about it.

And broken hearts? Well, that’s their specialty. They’ll fix you

For a price…

I swore I wouldn’t get involved.

But apparently they like a challenge, and a girl who doesn’t put up with their BS is basically like waving a red flag in front of a bull.

They. All. Charged.

But one holds my attention above the rest.

Knox Turner looks like a Viking — and getting pillaged is starting to look more appealing by the day. Though he’s hiding something — all of them are. And the closer I get. The more I realize that some things are left better in the past.

You’ve read reverse harem books before — but you’ve never read one like this. It’s not what you think, or is it? Dive in and find out…

Knox, Leo, Finn, and Slater are waiting, and they aren’t patient men.

Welcome to the new face of Wingmen Inc — You’re welcome.

He can’t resist the invitation to Portland for a showdown against Mia for a new television show. Mia was in his life years ago, and just like before, he’s met his match in the beautiful Italian spitfire. The way she commands the kitchen is mesmerizing, and her recipes are clever and delicious. He’s never had qualms about competition, and this is no different. He can’t wait to go head to head with Mia. But can he convince her the chemistry theyshare in the kitchen would be just as great in the bedroom as well?

As Mia and Camden face off, neither realizes how high the stakes are as their reputations are put on the line and their hearts are put to the ultimate test.

Meet Kristen

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

About ROME’S CHANCE

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Joanna Wylde comes a new story in her Reapers MC series…

Rome McGuire knew he was in trouble the first time he saw her.

She was sweet and pretty and just about perfect in every way. She was also too young and innocent for the Reapers Motorcycle Club. He did the right thing, and walked away.

The second time, he couldn’t resist tasting her.

Gorgeous and smart, fun and full of wonder, she jumped on his bike and would’ve followed him anywhere. Still, she deserved a shot at happiness somewhere bigger and better than a town like Hallies Falls. Walking away wasn’t so easy that time, but her family needed her and he had a job to do.

When she came around a third time, he’d had enough. Randi Whittaker had been given two chances to escape, and now it was time for Rome to take his.

This time, the only way Randi would be leaving Hallies Falls was on the back of Rome’s bike.

Review

Rome’s Chance perfectly describes what Rome McGuire sets out to do in Joanna Wylde’s newest Reapers MC novella. After missed opportunities and bad timing, Rome is staking his claim when it comes to Randi Whittaker’s body and her heart, and while Randi’s head might not be on the same page as Rome is, if Rome has anything to say or do about, she will be, and she’ll enjoy the hell out of the ride to get there.

The fact that Rome and Randi had an instant connection proves how just how good they could be together, if only Randi would take a chance and see that their differences don’t have to be a burden on a relationship; they could actually bring a new dynamic to what they’re building.

I get why Randi is hesitant to have more than a good time with Rome; she’s not used to being around bar brawls and she’s most definitely not a motorcycle club groupie, but I didn’t like how she handled some of the situations that she was in because while I can’t blame her for being overwhelmed after she was injured on their first date, none of what happened was because of anything that Rome did, which means that even if Rome did make a bad decision to bring her to a rowdy bar, he’s just as innocent as she is, not factoring in the idea that he’s a part of a motorcycle club that is not always on the right side of the law.

Rome is definitely one of my favorite Reapers. He knows what he wants and he works hard for everything that he has, and while his lifestyle may be dangerous, Rome protects his own and he considers Randi his, which means that he’ll do whatever it takes to take care of Randi and those she loves, simply because she’s important to Rome and Randi’s family is important to her regardless of how crazy they make her feel sometimes.

There are quite a few obstacles for Rome and Randi to maneuver around and most of them deal with outside factors. One huge concern for Randi is her mom and siblings. The main reason she left her small home town was because she wanted more for herself…she wanted to be able to live her own life without worrying about her mom and her issues, so returning to the place she couldn’t get away from fast enough has to be difficult for Randi as well as the fact that her mom’s situation isn’t much better than it was when Randi was looking after her, which means something has to give or they’re all going to end up miserable.

Rome holds steadfast to taking this chance with Randi, so while Randi questions if Rome’s a distraction she can afford given her family’s situation, Rome stands by her, pushing her, at times, to acknowledge what’s between them and offering her an outlet for her frustration and her fears because the kind of instant chemistry Rome had with Randi is not something he can forget and it’s definitely something that he wants to pursue now that he has an opportunity to do so.

4 Poison Apples

Excerpt

“Randi?” I froze, because I knew that voice.

Rome McGuire.

The sound was rough and sexy, with just a hint of a growl. Deeper than it’d been eight years ago, when I’d thrown caution to the wind and hopped on the back of his motorcycle for one glorious night.

Back then, I’d still been a shy little thing, terrified that some hot biker might actually want to talk to me, let alone take me out. When I caught him watching me at the party, I remembered studying the floor, his shirt collar, even the beer in my plastic cup, because I hadn’t known what to do with myself around such raw male glory. Apparently some things never change, because when I turned to face him, I found myself staring at the floor again.

This was a mistake, because his feet were down there. And the battered, black leather boots he wore led to jeans-covered legs. Legs topped by thick, muscular thighs.

Stop it. You’re acting like a giant dork! My brain hissed.

Oblivious and mesmerized, my gaze rose to the faded denim around his fly, and it was all over. My eyes started tracing the folds of the Okanogan Fire and Rescue T-shirt covering his still-muscular chest, although the Reapers Motorcycle Club vest he wore was a change. Back then, he’d been hanging around the Nighthawk Raiders MC. That whole club had disappeared for reasons I’d never fully understood, and the Reapers had taken over the town shortly afterward. Apparently Rome was one of them now.

Interesting…

I’d always wondered what’d happened to Rome after I’d left. We’d never said goodbye. That summer, the wildfires had swept through so fast that my family had to evacuate with the clothes on our backs. We hadn’t bothered to come back and sift through the ashes.

I’d kept in touch with my old boss, Tinker, of course.

I’d even considered asking her about Rome, but in some ways those fires were the best thing that ever happened to me. Starting over meant starting college in Missoula, and then a whole new life.

Wasn’t like Rome and I could’ve ever been anything real, anyway. Guys like him weren’t for girls like me.

My gaze reached his neck, which bristled with thick, black stubble that was more than a little out of control—this was different from when I’d known him before. Not that he’d ever been baby-faced, but he’d definitely matured. Now there were a few wrinkles around those dark blue eyes, although the dimple was still there. So was the crooked smile that’d spontaneously combusted my panties.

Correction.

A crooked smile that was currently combusting my panties. Who knew that a supermarket could be such dangerous territory?

“Been a long time,” he said. I shrugged, unsure what to say. I mean, yeah, we’d gone out on a date. He’d kissed me and wow… Not that we’d gotten much past second base, but he’d scored a home run in the lower deck of my ballpark, if you know what I mean. But he was one of those guys—you know, the kind of guys who hit lots of home runs with lots of girls.

“Yeah, well…” My words trailed off.

Review

I have to start my confessing my love/hate relationship with one tortured and stubborn Dom! Julian Lodge is both exasperating and awe-inspiring. He is such a complex character – one that readers have to work hard to get beneath his layers in order to understand his complicated past and how it has lead to the creation of this controlled, closed-off alpha male. But as much as I wanted to throttle Julian in various parts of Siren Enslaved, I also wanted him to find his happy…to find a way to work through his issues and find someone or in his case, two someones, who could add so much light and love to his life that he would be a fool not to hold on tight and weather the storm of anything this threesome faces.

Finn Taylor and Danielle Bay may be in love with one another but their respective submissive tendencies don’t quite add up to what they both require in a  romantic relationship, which makes Julian’s vacation to the Barnes-Fleetwood ranch well-timed, partly because he serves as the runaway driver for Danielle, but also because Julian’s dominant personality makes him quite capable of handling both a male and female submissive, bringing three people together who can explore their kinky sides in a multitude of deliciously decadent ways.

Siren Enslaved showcases what readers have come to love about Lexi Blake’s stories, characters, and writing. There’s suspense, angst, steam, and romance, and while some readers may not be able to accept Julian’s cold demeanor, they won’t be able to deny how much Julian seems to benefit from having both Finn and Danielle in his life and how much the two submissives come to life under Julian’s command.   

4 Poison Apples

Excerpt

“What on earth is that look for?” Julian stared down at her, his lips pulled up in obvious amusement.

Finn leaned over so he could be heard over the loud music. “I think Dani is enjoying her role as town harlot.”

Julian frowned. “Harlot? Why would she be a harlot?”

Dani and Finn laughed together. For the first time, they completely understood something Julian didn’t.

“This is a small town, Sir,” Finn explained. “All anyone is going to talk about tomorrow is the fact that Dani Bay snuck up the stairs at The Barn with two guys. Trust me, she is going to be called all kinds of names. Mostly to her back, though.”

She shrugged. It was to be expected. At least no one would be feeling sorry for her.

Julian’s face went dark, and his fingers tightened around hers. “They had better not say anything where I can hear it.” He relaxed and nodded down at her. “I’m going to speak with Jackson, dear. You and Finn stay together. We’ll be leaving shortly. We’ll retrieve Finn’s things and go back out to the ranch.”

He turned and walked off, supremely confident that his orders would be met.

He turned back suddenly. “And stay out of trouble.”

Dani grinned. He didn’t look so confident that she would follow that edict. He walked away. She watched his gorgeous ass as it disappeared into the crowd. When she turned, she noticed that Finn was watching, too.

“I’m sorry.” Finn pulled back slightly, his hand coming out of hers. That look was back in his eyes.

“Are you going to be an asshole?” she asked.

“What?”

“I thought we worked through this, but it looks like you’re going to be an asshole.” She wasn’t putting up with it. Maybe she would have before but being with them had changed her.

Being with Julian and Finn together seemed to have altered something fundamental in Dani. It had been beautiful. She’d never felt as deeply as she did when they were kissing her, loving her. There had been that terrible moment when she was sure Julian was leaving, but he’d stayed. He had to care about her. He cared, and Finn cared. She wasn’t going to let anyone take that away from her or make her feel ashamed. That was hers.

Finn stared almost blankly and then shook his head. “I’m sorry. I spent so long trying to hide this from you.”

“Hide what? That I knew you were gay? I was well aware of that. Why did you get upset because I caught you drooling over Julian’s ass?”

His eyes slid down. “Damn it, Dani. This is why I stayed away. I knew it should be only the two of us, but I wasn’t sure I could do it. I’m not sure I can stay away from men.”

Julian was shaking his head at Jack, who seemed to be teasing him something fierce. Dani stared at him for a moment. She noticed she wasn’t the only one. All around her, other women had their eyes on the hot new guy. They could look, but Julian was hers. He might not know it, but she planned on keeping him. And Finn. As soon as they ironed out a few things.

“And it never occurred to you to say, hey, Dani, here’s the problem. Let’s see if we can solve it? No, you decide to keep your mouth shut and almost let me marry someone I didn’t love because you didn’t want to admit you’re bi.”

“Damn it, I didn’t want to lose you. I love you, Danielle. You’re the only thing in my life that’s permanent. I would rather keep you in my life than lose you because I can’t be normal. It should be two people. A marriage should be two people.”

Oh, yes, she had to fix his way of thinking. “Says who? The old biddies at church? Screw them. Why does everything have to be one way? What we did up there didn’t hurt anyone. It isn’t anyone’s business but ours. I love you, Finn, but I think I’m falling for Julian, too. Can you handle that?”

“I can certainly try, baby. I was willing to love you from afar. I prefer loving you up close.”

Excerpt

That was the moment Beckham appeared in the doorway like a storm cloud.

Reyna straightened in her seat at the expression on his face. He walked across the room like a tightly coiled spring ready to explode.

“Ah Beckham, there you are,” Harrington said.

“Excuse me, William. I need to speak with Reyna. Alone.”

She hastened out of her seat and followed him around the corner. He tugged her straight through the kitchens, out the back door, down a corridor, and into a dead end. Then her back was slammed against the brick wall. His fist connected with the wall behind her, and she felt the wall shudder. Debris floated onto her shoulders.

“You left,” he growled.

“I . . .”

“No.” He pressed his finger to her lips roughly. She stopped breathing and just stared up into his eyes as dark as night. Her body trembled under the feral stare. “You left without me.”

The silence was weighted. All she could do was sit with their bodies nearly touching. His finger on her mouth. Her mind wandering to hellacious places.

“You are my subject. Can you imagine what it was like when I found you missing? When you turned up with three of my kind?” She shook her head minutely. He bared his teeth to her, and she shrank back. “These are meant to drink your blood. To drink you dry until there is nothing left of your body but a dry corpse. We are killers. We don’t hesitate. Just because we’re wearing suits and seem more like you . . . does not mean we are like you. We are not like you. They especially are not like you. The only way you get to the top of Visage is to be fucking ruthless, Reyna. Do you understand?”

“You’re . . . scaring me,” she whispered.

“Good.”

Reyna Carpenter and Beckham Anderson return in the exhilarating follow-up to the provocative paranormal romance Blood Type.

The Pecker Briefs
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: April 17, 2018

Synopsis

I never thought a pecker would get me in so much trouble.

I mean, sure… if you’re talking about a certain anatomical feature of mine that the ladies just love. Given my bachelor status and appreciation for all things curvy and feminine, I could absolutely see that. But a different pecker is making my life much harder than it needs to be.

My name is Ford Daniels, partner at the law firm of Knight & Payne, and my latest case has me wading through the finer points of peckers—woodpeckers that is. Specifically, the red-cockaded woodpecker. I swear, I can’t make this stuff up but that’s what the sexy-as-hell blonde chained to a tree told me this morning.

Her name is Viveka Jones and she is so much more than a pretty face. She’s got wit, charm, and razor-sharp smarts. Turns out my client is looking to bulldoze the red-cockaded woodpecker’s natural habitat in favor of a multimillion-dollar subdivision and the sexy attorney with legs for days (and days), just happens to be counsel for an animal rights group looking to put a halt to construction.

My client’s pissed, but all I can think about is getting Viveka across the table from me. And then on the table underneath me. Perhaps up against the wall. And then—

Well, let’s just say when it’s all said and done, I’m hoping the red-cockaded woodpecker isn’t the only pecker that gets some attention from Miss Viveka Jones.

Review

I adore Sawyer Bennett’s Legal Affairs series; each story has witty banter, hot as fuck sex scenes and a hero and heroine who are extremely intelligent, driven, and confident, both inside and outside of the courtroom.

But while I’ve loved each of Bennett’s opposing counsels’ couples, Viveka Jones and Ford Daniels just might be my favorite of them all, not only because their chemistry and attraction radiates from the pages of The Pecker Briefs but also because they are both genuine, passionate, and all about the peckers, even if Viveka and Ford’s meanings of the word vary quite drastically;)

Regardless of their differing interpretations, I think both of the main characters as well as all of the readers of The Pecker Briefs would wholeheartedly shout, ’Hail to the peckers!’ Partly because the endangered ‘peckers’ are what bring Viveka and Ford together and partly because as soon as Viveka experiences Ford’s ‘pecker,’ she can’t get enough, which Ford definitely doesn’t mind.

Viveka Jones is definitely one of my favorite Sawyer Bennett’s heroines. I adore her quirkiness, her sass, her confidence, and her compassion when it comes to her furry clients but also to any decent human being. One of the reasons I really enjoy everything that is Viv is because Bennett provides readers with Viv’s backstory; we see her piece of work mom and all that Viv had to deal with when it came to her mother’s view of her and her role in Viv’s life. It’s clear in how Ford describes Viveka and the fact that she was a young model that she is beyond stunning, but she doesn’t use her looks to get ahead; in fact, she really doesn’t pay much attention to how others view her because she’s confident enough in herself and how she treats others that other people’s opinions, especially those who attempt to tear her down because they’re jealous, don’t matter to her, which is exactly why her mom is not part of Viv’s life.

I wouldn’t call Ford a manwhore per say….he’s a serial monogamist who gets bored and loses interest in a short amount of time, but he doesn’t have a different woman in his bed each night and he’s absolutely not a cheater. The way I see it is that Ford was just waiting for the right woman – the one who he would never get bored with and who he wanted to spend just as much time with in bed as out of it, and it’s obvious as soon as Ford and Viv see one another that they’re attract to each other and from that day on, there’s no stopping what’s building between them, even if they are on opposing sides of a legal case.

Readers will adore The Pecker Briefs because it’s a fun, flirty, steamy, and intelligent romance. It also has amazing secondary characters in Leary and Reeve who readers who are familiar with Sawyer Bennett’s Legal Affairs’ series will remember and Viv couldn’t find a better best friend than Frannie; that woman has Viv’s back no matter what and that’s definitely the kind of woman that Viv deserves to have in her corner.

I can’t get enough of Bennett’s stories and characters. It amazes me how many different series she’s written and that each and every one provides numerous fantastic reads time and time again, which proves just how amazing Bennett is as a writer and a storyteller.

5 Poison Apples 

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released multiple books, many of which have appeared on the New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestseller lists.

A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.

Sawyer likes her Bloody Marys strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active daughter, as well as full-time servant to her adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or even better, both.

Sawyer also writes general and women’s fiction under the pen name S. Bennett and sweet romance under the name Juliette Poe.

About QUIT YOUR PITCHIN’

What’s wrong with my butt?

She means those words to be directed toward the woman beside her, not him. But he can’t stop himself from answering. Not when her ass is the most magnificent thing he’s seen in his life.

Apparently, answering her with ‘not a damn thing’ wasn’t what she was expecting.

She likely wasn’t expecting the baseball she took to the face at his next at bat, either.

All it takes is one ill-fated foul ball, and George Hoffman, Lumberjacks center fielder, falls head over heels in love with Wrigley Field—and yes, that is her real name.

From that point forward, George and Wrigley fall into a fast whirlwind love that ends with them eloping to Vegas. And he has his potty mouth, titty bar owning, pain in the ass grandmother to thank for it.

Not that he’s complaining or anything.

Who wouldn’t want to be married to a woman that made his heart race like he was in the final game of the World Series?

The only problem is trying to convince her of that.

Tormented rock star Liam O’Reilly left Dublin and achieved success, hoping to build a new life, free from the demons of his past.
