Blurb

The first time I met Chase Parker, I didn’t exactly make a good impression.

I was hiding in the bathroom hallway of a restaurant, leaving a message for my best friend to save me from my awful date.

He overheard and told me I was a bitch, then proceeded to offer me some dating advice.

So I told him to mind his own damn business—his own tall, gorgeous, full-of-himself damn business—and went back to my miserable date.

When he walked by my table, he smirked, and I watched his arrogant, sexy ass walk back to his date.

I couldn’t help but sneak hidden glances at the condescending jerk on the other side of the room.  Of course, he caught me on more than one occasion, and winked.

When the gorgeous stranger and his equally hot date suddenly appeared at our table, I thought he was going to rat me out.

But instead, he pretended we knew each other and joined us—telling elaborate, embarrassing stories about our fake childhood.

My date suddenly went from boring to bizarrely exciting.

When it was over and we parted ways, I thought about him more than I would ever admit, even though I knew I’d never see him again.

I mean, what were the chances I’d run into him again in a city with eight million people?

Then again…

What were the chances a month later he’d wind up being my new sexy boss?

RELEASE BLITZ AND REVIEW: Flash Point by Lani Lynn Vale

Flash Point Banner
212e8-flash2bpoint2bbook2bcover2b252812529

Title: Flash Point

Series: Kilgore Fire Series #2

Author: Lani Lynn Vale

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: June 2, 2016

Cover Model: Quinn Biddle  https://www.facebook.com/quinnbiddleofficial/

43fe8-synopsis255b1255d

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 hometown, 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 the two of their lives crash together. Their love consuming everything in its path.

review-6

There’s no other person for Masen Crisfield than Booth Jones and the feeling is definitely mutual, but sometimes fate as well as free will breaks soul mates apart and forces them to struggle through life on their own, facing the consequences of hurtful words and abrupt actions. But despite the time and distance that existed between them for almost a decade, Masen and Booth’s feelings for one another have never dissipated, leaving them both to wonder if there was any chance, now that they’re once again in the same town, to get back what they had all those years ago, mending the broken pieces of their hearts and souls.

After reading the synopsis of Flash Point, I was uncertain how Lani Lynn Vale was going to give Masen and Booth the happily ever after they both desperately wanted all those years ago, but I should have done that in Vale’s world, things are never quite what they appear to be and once truths are revealed and the past is dealt with, the flame that’s always been between Masen and Booth is free to ignite once again, allowing their feelings of love and lust to spark and burn brightly.

Masen and Booth’s story is a bit different than Lani Lynn Vale’s other stories because there’s a history between them that must be hashed out before a future can be explored. Despite that component of Flash Point, though, the same themes of love and loyalty resonate off of the pages, and as always, there’s a suspenseful storyline that allows clarity to be reached in terms of what the main characters are willing to do for each other in order to be together forever.

The Kilgore Fire series as well as Vale’s other series illustrate the camaraderie of her alpha heroes and the strength and gumption of her heroines to fight for what they want, and while Masen may be a bit of a hot head and react before she thinks everything through, there are times in Flash Point where that reaction actually allows Masen and Booth to say what needs to be said and then find a way to move past it together, which is never a bad thing when it comes to two people who are destined to be together.

RELEASE BLITZ: REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: Flow (The Beat and the Pulse) by Amity Cross

 Flow Banner

Title: Flow

Series: The Beat and the Pulse #6

Author: Amity Cross

Genre: Fighter Romance Stand Alone

Release Date: June 2, 2016

Hamish “Goblin” McBride is a formidable cage fighter with a heart of solid gold…until the woman of his dreams smashes it to pieces.

The only things he has to soften the blow are his fists and the bottom of a whisky bottle. He’s got more than his fair share of problems and being heartbroken wasn’t part of the plan.

Enter Lori, the mysterious rock chick who works behind the bar at The Underground, the illegal cage fighting league that’s Hamish’s home away from home.

With a boatload of her own problems, starting something with Hamish might just be more trouble than it’s worth…

Or they might just be made for one another after all.

 

 


greenreview

Hamish “Goblin” McBride fights his own battles and those of the ones he loves with everything that he has to give, and while that makes him an amazing man, son, and friend, it also forces him to keep secrets…to live his life for those around him not for himself. But Lori Walker is someone he wants just for himself, and even if he can only have her as a friend, he’ll look out for her and protect her from her fears because that’s the kind of man he is.

Ever since meeting Hamish in the previous books of Amity Cross’ The Beat and the Pulse series, I’ve wanted to know what’s beneath that fighter exterior and the demons he hides behind his eyes, unwilling to weigh down anyone else with his bullshit, going it alone because that’s how it’s always been. As hard as people try, Hamish won’t change who he is, and because he’s bound to the city where his mom is, he refuses any other kind of life and any other kind of fighting than what he gets in the Underground.

Lori Walker may work in the Underground, but she wants nothing to do with fighters – not since one stomped on her heart and forced her to build walls to keep from being hurt again. But there’s something about Hamish that makes her reach out to him, as a friend, in order to lend an ear or hang out with someone who has no expectations of him.

It’s hard to remain in the friend zone, though, because there’s definitely an intense attraction between them, but both Hamish and Lori are afraid to open themselves up…afraid to give someone a piece of themselves, only for it to be destroyed. But that line that they are struggling not to cross is getting thinner and thinner, and when there’s nothing left of it, it’s hard to say if they’ll come out unscathed or return to the way things used to be before they caught each other’s eye.

Flow illustrates what happens when two damaged souls find their way to one another and learn to take things how they come. Both Hamish and Lori have spent such a long time fighting their own battles that they never stopped to think that there was a way for them to do better…a way for them to not feel so alone, but to do that, they have to take a risk…they have to allow someone else to fight for them, which for two very independent people poses problems, but it also gives them hope and a sense that everything’s going to work out.

 Review

Everyone has felt or seen the kind of interaction that knocks the wind out of someone due to a menagerie of emotions; sometimes those feelings are overwhelmingly negative and the inability to breathe is more out of fear and anxiousness than anything else. But other times, this reaction stems from the beauty of the moment…the awe that exists due to the love that surrounds the connection.

Callie St. James and Luke Hardy’s relationship, both as friends and lovers, is both volatile and endearing…heart wrenching and heartwarming…impatient and passionate, which lends truth to the idea that life, love, and honesty can never be categorized as only black and white because there are too many variables…too many complications that illustrate the murkiness and off kilter environment that’s created due to circumstances both in and out of their control.

If there’s one characteristic that defines who Callie is, it’s her sense of right and wrong. She’s a person who’s driven by truth and honesty, but she’s also motivated by love and attraction, which is why even though there are extenuating circumstances that prevent Callie from giving herself completely to Luke and giving into her baser needs right from the start, he still takes her breath away in the best possible ways and she longs to be his.

Luke’s life is extremely complicated, and the tumultuous feelings he has about his situation makes him both angry and protective. His worries go beyond himself and dealing with all that involves puts him in a rather precarious position, making Callie both a necessary facet of his life as well as someone who further complicates it.

But things aren’t what they seem on a lot of levels in this story and as the truth is slowly discovered, it teaches both Callie and Luke that there’s a middle ground between truth and lies and it’s one’s ability to wade through the chaos and rise above it that allows life to be lived to its fullest despite everything that surrounds it.

Steal My Breath illustrates that life is not black and white and neither is the truth. There are shades of both depending on the situation and the circumstances that surround it. Callie and Luke’s lives can be vibrant and exciting as well as grey and desolate depending on what they’re dealing with, and let me tell you, there’s a shitstorm of drama to contend with in their story!

Callie and Luke’s story is a suspenseful, steamy read that has a great supporting cast of characters who both help and hurt Callie and Luke’s relationship and make them question their future and even make decisions that could destroy the very thing that steals their breath.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

4 Poison Apples

Excerpt

Here’s a taste of Luke & Callie… 

I stand and move to him. His back muscles tense when I place my hand on his shoulder. “I want to get to know everything about you, Luke Hardy,” I say and he spins around to face me.

His eyes search mine. “You already know the important bits.”

“No, I don’t.” I rest my hand against his chest. “I don’t know the secrets you keep locked in here. They’re the important bits.”

His intake of breath is sharp and he wraps his hand around mine. His other hand slides around my waist and he pulls me close.

Oh, shit.

No.

Too close.

But his lips brush across mine before I can move out of his embrace. His hold is tight and his message is very clear—he’s in charge here and if a kiss is what he wants, a kiss is what he will have.

He surprises me, though, and angles his face away from mine. Still keeping hold of me, he says, “I know we’re doing the friends-only thing for awhile, but a man’s got needs, Callie. If you put your hands on me, you better be prepared for the consequence of that.”

I’m pretty sure my eyes almost pop out of my head. I knew Luke was bossy—oh, boy did I know—but this is a whole new level of bossy. His deep voice vibrates along my skin, scattering goose bumps, while his eyes penetrate my soul. Those intense, green eyes of his will do it to me every time. They’ll cause me to forget everything I’ve ever said or thought and just cling to him for the ride.

He dips his face again and his mouth finds mine. The moment our lips connect sparks of desire burn through me. I’m so damn hot for him and I can’t control myself. I push my body hard against his and open my mouth to him.

He tastes like whiskey and I make a note to buy some just so I can remember this moment forever. I’ve never loved whiskey before, but it may just be my new favourite drink.

This kiss will forever live in my mind. Luke doesn’t simply kiss—he possesses. He takes me mind, body and soul.

In this kiss I find hope.

Hope that he will fight for me.

For the us we both want.

I knew she was destined to be mine the first time I laid eyes on her. Cliché I know, but it was the truth. Numerous obstacles kept us apart, but I vowed to find a way around them, finally claiming her once and for all.

Still struggling with amnesia, Ella questions everything she’s known about Kayden Wilkens–the alluring stranger who claims to have found her unconscious in an alleyway. But was he truly a stranger–or did Kayden know her before his supposed rescue? Tormented by the potential betrayal he denies, with fleeting memories of a bombshell in her recent past, Ella must face a hard reality. Every action has consequences . . . and trusting Kayden, the one thing she most desires, might result in the direst consequences of all.

He’s tall, dark, and sexy, with money and power, the kind of man who makes a girl want to be possessed. And he does possess her, whispering wicked wonderful promises to her, stealing her trust and her heart. Soon though, the past finds her, yanking her from a cocoon of passion and safety. Everything is not how it seems. The truth will shatter her world, but it can set her free, if it doesn’t destroy her first.

New York Times bestselling author Lisa Renee Jones returns with the third book in the sexy, suspenseful Careless Whispers series.

Passion burns fiercely hot between Ella Ferguson and Kayden Wilkens, the man who held secrets and lies in his hands, and then allowed them to fall into hers. But even though he has become her anchor—helping her recover from amnesia after finding her unconscious in an alley, and allowing her into his secret world—all is not what it seems. Kayden still has secrets, and pieces of Ella’s past are still shrouded in the darkness of her mind, while the powerful man who hunts her will not stop until she is his. In this final, explosive novel in the Careless Whispers series, Ella discovers that while her life with Kayden didn’t begin in that dark alley…it could easily end there.

Synopsis

Burned, Felix Sinclair has all but vowed never to get seriously involved with another woman as long as he lives. After a long day’s work, Felix Sinclair is looking forward to getting back to his luxury apartment in the city. When he detours onto a road less traveled in order to shave off some travel time, the last thing he expects is to wind up stranded in a roadside ditch in the middle of a downpour–or to fall into the arms of a beautiful woman.

Recently divorced, jobless, friendless and utterly alone, Poppy Montgomery is struggling to convince herself that single life is what she wants–needs. Then a handsome stranger staggers into her life and sparks fly. Riding out the storm together is bound to stir up heat, but once it passes, will they be able to walk away?

AUTHOR’S NOTE: STRANDED is the first in an interconnected series of erotic romance. Each book can be read as a stand alone, but you will find that each new character has been previously introduced in some way. As an introduction to the series, STRANDED is a novella, but rest assured each new addition will be a full length novel worth sinking your teeth into.

Excerpt

As he rocked against her, she could feel his length probing her entrance, and she lifted her hips, eager to take him in.

Felix laughed and pulled his hips back. Poppy groaned her displeasure. “So impatient.” He kissed her forehead and smoothed her hair away from her face as he gazed down at her. “Not yet, kitten. First things first. Do you have any condoms in here?” 

Startled, Poppy shook her head. She didn’t think she would ever find herself in this situation again, so she never thought to keep any on hand. Sex hadn’t been the farthest thing from her mind, exactly, but having it with a man certainly had been. She had even stopped taking her birth control. And here she was, preparing to let some guy she’d known for two minutes plunge himself into her, and she hadn’t even thought about protection of any kind. She wanted to slap herself for being so stupid.

“That’s okay,” Felix assured her. “I have a couple in my wallet. I just have to go and get them.” He pushed himself off her and Poppy squirmed from the loss. “I’ll be right back.”

She watched as he walked away, completely naked and not caring in the least. He looked almost as good walking away, she thought, smirking to herself. Lying in complete silence made the time stretch on forever. Bo shifted in the corner and huffed loudly, and Poppy’s head snapped up. He was staring at her in that way that animals sometimes do that makes you feel completely exposed and a little shameful.

“What?” Poppy asked, refusing to feel guilty. “I’m not doing anything wrong.” Bo tilted his big head and looked at her quizzically. “Don’t look at me like that. When you go without sex for as long as I have, then we can talk. Besides, he seems like a perfectly nice guy, and I don’t see you kicking up a fuss.”

Felix strode into the room then and looked at her strangely. “Who are you talking to?”

Propped on her forearms, Poppy smiled shyly. “Just Bo.”

“Ah.” He glanced back at Bo. “I don’t think he likes me.”

Poppy waved him off. “If he didn’t like you, I think you’d be missing a limb right now. Bo is very protective of me, and the fact that he hasn’t tried to kill you for touching me yet is pretty telling.”

“Yet being the operative word,” Felix muttered as he climbed onto the bed and settled himself between her legs again. He held up a foil packet. “I wonder how old Bo is going to react when his master is screaming to the heavens.” He wagged his eyebrows at her and tore the foil open with his teeth.

“Screaming, huh?” Poppy’s belly clenched with anticipation. She watched as he rolled the condom down his erection.

“Oh yes,” he assured her with a wicked smile.

When he positioned himself at her opening, Poppy drew back slightly. “I thought you said we were taking things slow?”

Dropping down onto his forearm, Felix kissed her lips lightly and pushed the tip of his erection into her. Poppy sucked in a breath. “I did say that, but then I came back to find you all spread out, waiting for me, and I changed my mind. I won’t lie, this time will be fast. But after that, I’m going to take all the time in the world to get to know this body.”

“I—Ah!”

Felix shoved his way into her body and Poppy nearly came undone. He was bigger than she was used to and he stretched her, touching every inch of her and creating a delicious friction that threatened to push her over the edge. He was right. This would be fast.

UNEXPECTED CIRCUMSTANCES by Shay Savage

BOOK 1: THE HANDMAID

UC1 cover

Synopsis

In a bold political move, Sir Branford claims a handmaid as his bride instead of the expected princess in an attempt to spark a war. Poor Alexandra knows little of how to behave as the wife of a future king and knows nothing of the man who is suddenly her husband. 
Alexandra knows she is being used as a pawn and must do her best to avoid scheming noblewomen and the scorned princess, accept her position as her husband ascends to the throne, and overcome her fears of the man with whom she now shares a bed. 
Sir Branford is determined to have it all – the kingdom, a wife of his choosing, and the revenge he seeks for the death of his father. He doesn’t expect the naïve handmaid to become more important than he ever could have foreseen.

Review

I’m not a huge historical romance reader, but given that Shay Savage has a way of making each genre her own, I knew her Unexpected Circumstances series was one I wanted to read, and book 1, The Handmaid, has already drawn me into her world of nobility, power, and ulterior motives.

As Alexandra finds herself as a pawn in one man’s quest for revenge, readers take that journey with her, and as she works to understand her new position as the wife of a future king, we become willing spectators, trying to figure out how Alexandra will be used by Sir Branford to achieve his end game and how she will adjust to her newfound status and husband as well as those around her who choose to see her as the commoner she truly is.

Alexandra and Sir Branford’s life as husband and wife has just begun in The Handmaid, so Alexandra’s future is quite uncertain. She must decide if she trusts Branford enough to keep her safe in this new world that he’s brought her to and if she has the strength and gumption to show that she can be more than a simple handmaid…more than a puppet to be used as others see fit.

Shay Savage has created quite the intriguing world in The Handmaid, and as the series continues, it will be interesting to see if Branford will see his handmaid wife as less an instrument of revenge and more a woman who can change the dynamics of so much more than his future kingdom.

I’m eager to learn more about the kingdoms that Savage has constructed and witness a woman of lowly status conquer a group of nobles who refuse to see her as anything but inferior to them in class and character. Just from the bit of insight readers have received about Alexandra, it’s easy to see that even though she is innocent and unwise in the practices and rules of the nobles, her heart and her mind, as long as she remains strong, will guide her in her newfound position and force those around her to take notice of her for more than her new title as future queen.

A complimentary copy was provided in exchange for an honest review.

Excerpt

 “Parnell, I’m only going to say this to you once.” Branford’s voice turned cold. “Regardless of your feelings regarding my marriage, Alexandra is my wife now, and you’ll not speak of her with any disrespect. I will not have you refer to my marriage as ridiculous. Am I clear?”
“Yes, sire,” Sir Parnell responded, the tone in his voice switching quickly from jovial friend and cousin to properly chastised servant. “Forgive me.”
I felt Branford’s hand through my hair again, nearly lulling me into true unconsciousness. The carriage bounced through a rough section of the road, then continued on as the driver called out to the horses. The rain lessened, and the pattering sound on top of the carriage became softer.
“Something has changed, has it not?” Parnell said quietly.
“Perhaps.”
“What is it, Branford?”
There was a significant pause before Branford responded.
“Parnell,” he said, “when I came up with this plan, I thought I was considering everything. Edgar would be angered but impotent to react since he brought it on himself. Whitney would be insulted, and between both those reactions, one of the next blows would lead to war. At the same time, it gets Camden off my back about finding a wife. Sunniva holds her tongue about wanting grandchildren, and I get it all—the kingdom expanded when we invade, the crown, an heir, and nothing else changes. At home, I have someone who can take care of me and my needs. I didn’t have any intention of being faithful, so it’s not as if my life away from home would change with the introduction of a wife.”
“I thought I had gone through all possibilities,” Branford said, continuing. “The woman who would be the catalyst was always nameless and faceless. It didn’t matter who she was as long as she wasn’t Whitney. I decided on one of her handmaids while I was out on the field because they sat close to Whitney, and it would be more…visually dramatic. I could walk up right in front of her and turn away at the last second. It would also anger her intensely, which is exactly what I wanted. There must have been a half dozen of them, and I didn’t care which. They would all be skilled in matters of the home, which keeps me from having to employ any servants whose loyalties are questionable. I only picked Alexandra because she looked at me early on, when I was first declared victorious, and she blushed when her eyes met mine. The color on her cheeks was simply lovely, and she has beautiful eyes.”
“Now your bride is no longer nameless and faceless,” Parnell said.
“No, she is not,” Branford replied. “When I took her up to my room, I had every intention of bedding her. I had been staring at her in that dress all evening, and I was ready to see what was underneath it.”
“And was she lacking?” Parnell asked. “You can still annul since you haven’t consummated the union.”
“She’s a commoner, Parnell.” His voice turned hard and callous. “I could open the doors of this carriage in the middle of a busy marketplace, take her in front of a dozen witnesses, declare her a lousy fuck, and still have the marriage annulled.

Winston Brothers #2
Publication Date: May 31, 2016
Genres: Adult, Contemporary, Romantic Comedy

Grin&BeardItCover

Purchase: Amazon | Barnes & Noble | Kobo | iBooks | Smashwords

Sienna Diaz is everyone’s favorite “fat” funny lady. The movie studio executives can’t explain it, but her films are out-grossing all the fit and trim headliners and Hollywood’s most beautiful elite. The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna.

But she has a problem, she can’t read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. Therefore, when Sienna’s latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park she finds herself continually lost while trying to navigate the backroads of Green Valley, Tennessee. Much to her consternation, Sienna’s most frequent savior is a ridiculously handsome, charming, and cheeky Park Ranger by the name of Jethro Winston.

Sienna is accustomed to high levels of man-handsome, so it’s not Jethro’s chiseled features or his perfect physique that make Sienna stutter. It’s his southern charm. And gentlemanly manners. And habit of looking at her too long and too often.

Sienna has successfully navigated the labyrinth of Hollywood heartthrobs. But can she traverse the tenuous trails of Tennessee without losing her head? Or worse, her heart?

PROMO POST: WEDNESDAY by Kendall Ryan

hump day avail now (1)

ebook Wed

Hard core fucking.

It’s not what I really want, but it’s all he has to offer. He’s filled with turmoil and heartache and regrets, but for two hours every Wednesday all he feels is me. How much I desire him, how desperate he makes me, how much I’d like things to be different between us. Real.

He used to be my best friend back before he got married. And now? Now, he’s a young widower. It’d be wrong on so many levels to expect something more from him. So I give him what he needs. Dark delicious fucking. But I know I can’t keep this up. I’ve already given him my body, my soul. I want him to have my heart. It might drive him away forever, but that’s a risk I’m forced to take.

Wednesday is an angsty romp told from dual points of view. If you’re in the mood for something quick and dirty, you’ve found it. Proceed at your own risk.

About Why I Wrote this Book

The concept for what would eventually become WEDNESDAY was one of those random ideas that popped into my head in February 2016. It was a Saturday morning—you know the kind where you’re still lounging in your pajamas, drinking coffee, and picking at breakfast several hours after waking? Yes, one of those. My kids were playing on the living room floor, my husband flipping through a magazine across from me. It was winter in Minnesota, which meant it was absolutely freezing out and we had no plans to go anywhere.

I grabbed my laptop and wrote out the blurb for a book I knew I had no time to write. I e-mailed it to my publicist and said, “What do you think about this idea?” Her response was enthusiastic, something along the lines of, “You need to write this book! Right now!” So I opened a blank document, and soon I had the beginning of a first chapter.

Because this project didn’t fit into my writing schedule (like, at all), I decided that I would continue writing the books I was supposed to in order to keep on track with my releases, but that I would write one thousand words a night on this book too, and just see where it took me. It was a hard couple of months, alternating between two projects—one I would write during the day in present tense, and this book in the evening after dinner, dishes, and bath time, in past tense. This book was basically written with the help of wine, my couch, and a good playlist, which I included for you at the end.

Chloe and Shaw didn’t even have names for the first several weeks. I didn’t outline or plot. I had no idea where the story was heading . . . I just had a haunted what if question in my head.

What if the man you’d grown up with, your lifelong best friend and secret crush, suddenly lost his wife? In what ways would his grief shape your new relationship? To what lengths would you go to be there for him?

Is it controversial? Inappropriate? Maybe. But love doesn’t have boundaries, and in telling this story, I let these heartsick, broken characters lead me. I knew they could find their happily-ever-after. And I also knew it would be a short story. Those were the only things I knew for sure.

I’m so glad that I stuck with it and spent all those evenings allowing their story to unfold. I hope you are too.
