Blurb 

He’s determined to break her.

For Lucas Kent, his new prisoner is a maddening contradiction: compliant yet defiant, fragile yet strong. He needs to uncover her secrets, but doing so may ruin everything.

His obsession could destroy her.

She’s determined to escape.

For Yulia Tzakova, her captor is the man of both her dreams and her nightmares: tender one moment, cruel the next. She can’t let him crack her, but resisting him may leave her broken.

A moment of weakness could cost her everything.

NOTE: Bind Me is book 2 of 4 in Lucas & Yulia’s story, and it ends on a cliffhanger. It’s a novel of approximately 51,000 words (~250 print pages).

She fears him from the first moment she sees him.

Yulia Tzakova is no stranger to dangerous men. She grew up with them. She survived them. But when she meets Lucas Kent, she knows the hard ex-soldier may be the most dangerous of them all.

One night—that’s all it should be. A chance to make up for a failed assignment and get information on Kent’s arms dealer boss. When his plane goes down, it should be the end.

Instead, it’s just the beginning.

He wants her from the first moment he sees her.

Lucas Kent has always liked leggy blondes, and Yulia Tzakova is as beautiful as they come. The Russian interpreter might’ve tried to seduce his boss, but she ends up in Lucas’s bed—and he has every intention of seeing her there again.

Then his plane goes down, and he learns the truth.

She betrayed him. 

Now she will pay.

 

NOTE: Capture Me is the first book about Lucas & Yulia and has a cliffhanger-ish ending. It’s a long novella/short novel of approximately 45,000 words (about 200 pages) and is a spin-off from the Twist Me trilogy. It’s not necessary to have read that trilogy to enjoy Capture Me, but the book does contain major spoilers for books 2 and 3 of Twist Me.

COVER REVEAL: Chasing Spring by R.S. Grey

Title: Chasing Spring
Author: R.S. Grey
Release Date: Feb 1, 2016
Find on Goodreads

I thought I’d left Blackwater, Texas behind for good. I didn’t belong in the small town, but my dad wouldn’t listen. He dragged me back home in his beat-up truck and dropped a bomb along the way: Chase Matthews was moving in with us. He was the golden boy of my high school, my former best friend, and the last person I wanted sleeping across the hall. His presence was too great a reminder of the ghosts I was trying to forget.

I didn’t ask for a hero. I don’t want to be saved.  

To me, Lilah Calloway meant late nights sneakin’ out, moonlit hair, and sparklers in July. She was my best friend until the day she left and I’d assumed Blackwater had seen the last of her. Then, like a tempest, she rolled back into town for the final half of senior year. The chopped hair and dark devil-may-care attitude warned most people away, but I knew if I fought hard enough, I could find the lost girl.

I didn’t want to be her hero. Some girls don’t need to be saved.

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way, I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

RELEASE REVIEW: Dove by D.H. Sidebottom

 

12248235_948875055167080_76439600584038067_o

26824837

Blurb

After her mother abandoned her when she was just fifteen, Dove fled the only life she’d known with her younger sister, Serenity, frightened that the authorities would tear them both apart.
Leaving behind a life of poverty and constant hardship with the group of travelers she had grown up with, Dove has no choice but to turn to a life of debauchery and prostitution to feed their bellies and provide them with shelter and security.

Fast forward ten years and life is so very different. Dove, now a world famous, high class escort receives a job that will change her life forever.
Her once best friend and fellow traveler, Flick O’Kane, now a Hollywood star, hires Dove to accompany him to a charity ball, unaware just who exactly this premium whore really is.

Both their lives come together in an explosion of sex, drugs and secrets. The friendship they once held close is about to be tested when their past threatens to rip them both apart and endangers not just their own lives but the very life Dove has broken her own soul for – Serenity’s.

***WARNING***

This story is not for the fainthearted. It includes scenes of non-consensual sex, forced prostitution, drug abuse and violence.

Review

When the only option Dove has to save her sister, protecting her innocence and giving her a future, is to sell her body as well as her soul, she does what she has to do, detaching herself from the experience, numbing her mind, and praying that she doesn’t lose every piece of herself before she can reclaim her identity. Dove’s life has not been her own for eight years; she’s been owned by a number of men who used and abused her any and every way they deemed fit, and even after she got out from underneath the devil himself, her life is still not hers to do with what she wants because the danger than surrounds her and her sister could claim them at any time.

Although many men have used her body for their own pleasure, there’s only one man Dove would willingly give it to, and unexpectedly, 10 years after Dove left him regardless of how much she loved him and he loved her, Flick O’Kane reenters her life with his own past – one filled with mistakes and regrets and until they can be open and honest with one another and reveal their secrets and truths, they both will continue to live lives that aren’t the ones that they want because despite the fact that their feelings for one another are still present, their baggage may be insurmountable, especially when there’s someone who wants Dove dead and will go through anyone to get it done.

I know going into a D.H. Sidebottom novel that its darkness will consume me and leave me searching for a way for the hero and heroine to get out of their situation unscathed, even though I know that that never seems to be a possibility because there’s too much danger and drama to wade through without losing at least a part of who they are at their core. But what Sidebottom’s texts also prove is that there’s beauty beneath the horror and even though people feel defined by their choices and actions, there’s still a chance to be who they want as long as they find a balance and deal with the past.

Dove is an incredible heroine who makes the ultimate sacrifice for her sister, Ren, so that she can flourish despite what Dove has to do to ensure that outcome. Dove is strong and intelligent, and she is perfectly aware of what people in society think of her, but she hardened her heart a long time ago and slips on her mask no matter how much shame and self hatred she feels. Dove’s past is told in flash backs, resulting in Flick and readers learning how she ended up being the high paid escort that she became and what she suffered through in order to take her life back at least a little bit so many years later. Dove’s story is not an easy one to hear, but it exposes who she is beneath the make-up, the flawless hair, and killer wardrobe a woman who wishes she could be with the man she’s always loved and keep her sister safe and happy.

Flick O’Kane took his own path away from his shitty childhood, but even with the fame and money, he’s never felt complete because he’s always wondered why Dove left him without a word. I don’t blame Flick for how he reacts when he sees Dove again after so many years, but he also frustrates me because he can’t see past his own issues…his own regrets, which almost costs him everything he’s always wanted.

Dove is a dark and gritty read that illustrates the sacrifices people are willing to make for those they love. The story line takes a number of twists and turns and the revelations are at times perplexing as well as shocking. Dove, Ren, and Flick have already paid a high enough price and now it’s time to balance out the scales and even though it may be done in ways that are frowned upon, as long as their futures become ones they can actually realize, nothing should stop them from making it happen.

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

Here’s a note for you from J.L. Berg!

Dear Readers,

I am SO excited to share the second and final cover of the Lost & Found series with you!

Fear, desire and so much conflict and tension between Everly and August.

I can’t wait for you to read the thrilling conclusion to this beautiful duet!

– J.L. Berg

About REMEMBERING EVERLY

After a stunning cliffhanger ending in Forgetting August, USA Today bestselling author J.L. Berg delivers the happily ever after that fans have been waiting for in the sequel, REMEMBERING EVERLY, on sale March 1.

He’s forgotten his past, but it hasn’t forgotten him. After losing two years of his life trapped in a coma, August Kincaid will do anything to win back the love of his life. But his past threatens to destroy his second chance at happiness, it’s Everly who is in danger of paying for his crimes.

Berg_Forgetting August_E-BookAbout FORGETTING AUGUST

She can forgive, but can she forget?
Some days, Everly still thinks she sees him. In the food court at the mall, or in a car speeding past as the light changes. It only lasts a second, but when it happens, she slips back to a time when she was ruled-and nearly ruined-by August Kincaid. And it doesn’t matter that she’s moved on, that she’s about to marry another man. In those moments the only thing she can do to regain control is take a deep breath and remind herself that August can’t hurt her-because he’s in a coma. Except that he’s not anymore.

August is awake. With no memories, he sets out to solve the mystery of his lost life. He unearths a photograph of a beautiful redhead named Everly and knows instinctively that she’s the key. But when he finds her, the August she describes is more monster than man.

Tortured by the thought of having hurt her, August wants only to become the man Everly deserves. As the new August emerges, Everly glimpses the person she first fell in love with. But can she trust that this August is real? When the final secret of their shared past is revealed, one of them will make a choice that changes their future forever . . .

I stared at him. “You believe in destiny?”

“No.” He shook his head. “I believe meeting you was fate. I believe that relationships don’t stop working. I believe people just give up. I believe that we still have a lot going for us. While we’ll always have our differences, I’ll never give up on this

relationship, and neither are you, Brooke, because after everything we’ve been through, I believe you’re the one woman for me.”

“Does that mean you’ll stay in New York?”

He returned my smile. “Did you really think you could get rid of me that easily?”

“I don’t know. Can I?”

His lips twitched.“You can try and see how it works out.”

RELEASE REVIEW: BEAR IT ALL by Rochelle Paige

bear it all ebook cover

Blurb

The last thing Tahlia Griffen wanted to be was a stripper. But when the shifter council asks for a favor, stripping is the best way to get the job done. Only she ends up finding more than just bad guys on this mission. 
Braden McMahon never expected to find his fated mate on stage at the Honey Pot. Now that he did, his bear is pushing hard to lay claim. And no one can see her naked. Ever. 

Will Braden be able to stand by and let Tahlia do her job, even if it means she needs to bear it all?
bear it all teaser fickle bitch

Review

I can’t get enough of Rochelle Paige’s shifter series; they’re fast paced, sexy, suspenseful, and they always illustrate the significance of finding one’s mate and the effects the mating has on the couples’ lives.

Bear It All is the perfect name for Braden and Thalia’s story. Thalia may bare her skin for her undercover mission as a stripper, but the true meaning of the title signifies both Braden and Thalia’s need to give themselves over to one another without compromising Thalia’s plan to take down the people responsible for the kidnapping attempt of Braden’s sister and niece as well as soothe the beast inside Braden – the one that wants to claim his mate and protect her from danger, baring his possessiveness of his lioness.

The instant connection between Braden and Thalia proves how strong the pull is once they sense their true mate and the way they possess each other between the sheets also demonstrates that fate did well by putting them together. And while Braden and Thalia’s mating goes a lot quicker than some of the other couples from both of Paige’s paranormal series, there’s still obstacles for them to overcome and a give and take perspective to understand because Thalia has been a fiercely independent lioness, working undercover for the past five years, and she can’t easily bow down to her mate or simply give in to what he demands because she’s been raised to take care of and defend herself, so while she wants to claim Braden as her mate, she also wants to ensure that he sees her as a strong and determined woman all on her own.

There’s one McMahon brother left, so it will be interesting to see how Paige leads him to his mate and what external factors will attempt to stand in his way.

Author Bio

I absolutely adore reading – always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at
the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.

I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream
as long as you are willing to work for it.

When I told my mom that my new year’s resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me “About time!”

Mirror, mirror … who’s the fairest of them all?

I still cringe when I hear that line. A fairy tale that had girls pretending they were the fairest, the most beautiful, and the most entitled. A fairy tale most couldn’t grow out of turned my haunted childhood memories into a living nightmare. Girls who grew up believing that pile of garbage became the meanest of all ‘mean girls.’

And those mean girls were right – it was a line meant for all the beautiful people in the world – and I knew the answer would never be me.

The women with long legs, flat stomachs, and perfect chests.

The type of women Kane Masters gravitated toward.

Well, that’s definitely not Willow Tate.

No. That will never be me.

Because I’m completely imperfect.

And … I hate myself.

I have no idea what Kane could possibly see in someone like me when he could have them.

perfectly imperfect teaser 3

Review

The saying goes that beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but what happens when the one who beholds herself has a self perception that is nothing but flaws and imperfections? What happens when she tries to be stronger, tries to choose strength, but she can’t rise above the negativity that surrounds her, and she succumbs to its vileness, losing every piece of herself in the process?

Willow Tate, for most of her life, has been expected to live up to what her “family” defines as perfect, but it’s an unrealistic idea because perfection is fake; it’s an illusion…a mirage…it’s a stuck up bitch and an asshole old man who keep all of their views at surface level. But regardless of how many times Willow tells herself their opinion doesn’t matter and that she only needs to like herself…to feel confidence in her own skin, she’s crushed once again and the cycle of self loathing with feelings of worthlessness and ugliness win out.

But if Kane Masters has anything to say and do about it, he’s going to prove to Willow that she’s the only person who has the right to define and label herself, and she has to be willing to help herself in order to blossom into the person she truly is…the person he wants in his life forever.

Boy did Perfectly Imperfect have my emotions all over the place! Willow’s journey is heartbreakingly painful and beautifully poignant. There’s a bevy of angst and drama created by external forces and just as much sweet, steamy, and touching moments that will have every female reader wishing for their own Kane Masters.

Every woman at some point in her life will be Willow Tate. I am Willow Tate. Willow Tate is so much more than a character; she’s a reality; she’s a constant self perception; she showcases everything that’s wrong with society’s expectations and everything that’s working against young girls loving themselves and their bodies regardless of what society says.

Beauty may be in the eye of the beholder but I agree with Jim Henson that it “may be necessary from time to time to give a stupid misinformed beholder a black eye!”

Be the change you wish for yourself. Be impenetrable. Because you’re worth more than you know.

perfectly imperfect teaser

Excerpt

“Are you nervous right now?”

I nod.

“Tell me why.”  His demand, steady and calm, gives me the courage I need to tell him.  To open a vein and bleed my insecurities.

“I’m not perfect,” I whisper.

“And neither am I, Willow.  I don’t want perfect.  What so many see as perfect, to me, is fake.  Perfect isn’t achievable naturally.  No one, and I mean no one, is perfect.”

I’m shaking my head before he’s even done speaking, but one long finger comes up and presses against my lips before I can speak.

“No, let me finish.  There isn’t beauty in perfection.  It’s as fake as the image the word projects.  Beauty is found in imperfection, Willow, because to admit you’re not perfect means you’re admitting you’re not whole and absolute.  When I think of myself, I see someone willing to admit he’s as far from complete as it gets because, in order to get to that perfection, I need to find the other part of me who will make my life better.  To take all the faults I have and fill them, and only then will I be there.  You see, the way I see it, the only way to become perfect is to find that perfectly imperfect person who brings it out of you.”

When he stops, I swear I might have stopped breathing.  How am I supposed to respond to that?

“Do you trust me?” he asks, his voice strong and sure.

“Yes, Kane.  Nerves or not, I do.”

“Then let me show you what I see when I look at you.”

He brings his hands up, framing my face once again in a way I’m quickly becoming addicted to the feeling of.  His warm eyes implore, begging me without words to let him continue.  I do not intend to stop him, regardless of the butterflies currently taking over my system.  I’m all in.

She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed ‘Estrogen Ocean’, much to her husband’s chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero–the super alpha kind!

Harper started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn’t take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.

Blurb

King: Homeless. Hungry. Desperate. Doe has no memories of who she is or where she comes from. A notorious career criminal just released from prison, King is someone you don’t want to cross unless you’re prepared to pay him back in blood, sweat, sex or a combination of all three. King’s future hangs in the balance. Doe’s is written in her past. When they come crashing together, they will have to learn that sometimes in order to hold on, you have to first let go. Tyrant: I. Remember. Everything. But the relief I thought I would feel never comes, and I’m more afraid now than I was the morning I woke up handcuffed in King’s bed. Because with the truth comes dark secrets I was never meant to know. I will put the lives of those I love most at risk if I let on that my memory has returned, or if I seek help from the heavily tattooed felon who owns me body and soul. I don’t know if I’m strong enough to resist the magnetic pull toward King that grows stronger every day. He’s already saved me in more ways than one. Now it’s my turn to do whatever it takes to save him. Even if that means marrying someone else…

King Excerpt

King

Tattooing Doe was the single most erotic moment of my life. Marking her perfect, pale skin with a tattoo I’d designed for her made me so fucking hard I had to adjust myself every thirty seconds in order to concentrate on my work.

When I was done, I handed her the hand mirror, and she walked over to the full-sized mirror that hung on the back of the door, like she’d seen dozens of my other clients do before. When she held up the hand mirror, she gasped.

“What?” I asked in a panic, hoping she didn’t already see what I’d hidden in the tattoo. I was an asshole for putting it there. I was an asshole for tattooing her in the first place.

I was just an asshole.

But I couldn’t help myself. My name needed to be on her. It wasn’t enough just to call her mine. I needed to mark her as well. So hidden in the vine work under the quote I found that I thought was perfect for her, was my name.

KING was woven into the design.  In order to see it you had to tilt your head or otherwise you wouldn’t notice it. But it was there.

I would tell her eventually of course, but I wanted it to be my secret for a while. She’d stopped being my possession a while ago, a lot longer before I cared to admit, but I still felt the need to mark her as mine.

I still liked the idea of owning her.

Only now, she owned me, too.

She didn’t notice the name. Tears filled her eyes. She stood there staring at the hand mirror in just her panties. Little cheeky ones where her ass hung out of the bottoms. Her tits were only inches from my face. Her tears of happiness made my dick twitch. Although her sad tears evoked the same response.

My dick wasn’t partial to which kind of tears he liked.

I took the mirror from her hand and lifted her up onto the counter. “You like it?” I asked, pushing her panties down her legs.

“I love it,” she panted, wrapping her legs around me, drawing me close. Her wetness soaking my boxers. I pushed them down with one hand. I’d been hard for three hours, the entire time I’d been working on her, and couldn’t wait any longer. I pushed inside her tight, wet heat.

We both moaned at the contact.

“You love it?” I asked, needing to hear her say it again.

“Yes, I love it!” she said as I thrust up into her, hard. “I love it. So much. I love you.”

I froze when I heard the words, and when I did, her eyes flung open.

“I didn’t mean—”

“Shut the fuck up.”

“Oh my god, I have that word vomit thing. I’m sorry.  Shit, I just meant that—”

“Shut the fuck up!” I demanded, thrusting hard to get her attention. She closed her eyes, and her head fell back. “That’s fucking better. Now, keep that pretty mouth of yours shut while I fuck you.”

“Okay,” she whispered, breathless.

“Shut up,” I said again, and she closed her mouth. “Shut up so I can fuck you…and show you how much I love you.”

She nodded and although her eyes stayed shut, a tear rolled down her cheek. I sucked it off her chin before it could fall to the floor.

Then, I fucked her.

Hard.

I showed her how much I loved her until I couldn’t tell where I started and she began. Until all that was in that room was me and her and the thing between us that kept pulling us together like magnets. Until we were lost in sensations and orgasms.

And in each other.

I fucked her until we were one person, and in a way we were, because I’d lost myself along the way and I found myself again in the most unlikely place.

I’d found myself again in the haunted eyes of a girl who was just as lost as I was.

Or maybe, we didn’t find each other at all.

Maybe, we just decided to be lost together.

Tyrant Excerpt

He cupped my ass and lifted me up, wrapping my legs around his waist. “There was one point I’d made the decision to tell you the truth. I owed you that much. But then all the shit went down with Isaac and Preppy, so when I made the deal with your father for Max, I thought I was doing you a favor by giving you your life back and getting you out of all the shit that came with being in mine.”

I squeezed my thighs around his waist, rubbing myself against his hardness. I moaned. “But you weren’t giving me my life back.” I corrected. I placed my palms on his cheeks and held his face in my hands, searching for any sign in his eyes that what I felt for him might have been wrong, but instead what I found was a resounding need to fix what was broken between us. Tears formed in my eyes. “You were taking it away.” King’s lips parted. He ran his thumb across my lower lip, turning his head he kissed his way up my arm.  

“Goosebumps,” King observed, running his fingertips across my already stimulated skin. I bit my lip and stifled a moan.

“It’s just the heat,” I lied.

“You’ve got that fucking right,” King growled, bending my wrist behind my back, his lips came crashing down over mine. We were a tangling of lips, clanking of teeth, sloshing through the water to better line ourselves up with each other. It wasn’t pretty.

It was need.

“I’m still fucking mad at you for letting me go,” I said into his mouth, while our tongues did things other parts of me throbbed to do.

King stilled and held my face away from his, our chests heaving in unison, my erect nipples rubbing against his hot hard skin as we panted together. Our breaths mingled in the air. He ran his hand down the side of my face and cupped my cheek in his palm. “I didn’t give you away, Pup. I released you.”

I stilled. “You released me?” I couldn’t hide the hurt in my voice. For some reason, releasing me sounded worse than letting me go.

King ran his tongue across the tip of my earlobe, holding me tightly against his warmth. Chills ran down my spine and into my very core and they had nothing to do with the temperature of the rain.

“I tried to release you, Pup. For Max. But there was a major problem with that plan, and no matter what happened, it would never have worked,” King confessed.  

“Why is that?” I asked, needing to know, but at the same time acutely aware of the pulsing between my legs. Relief and release was only a scrap or two of fabric away. Throbbing for me.

“The problem was…you never released me,” King growled, crashing his lips to mine. He moaned into my mouth when I rubbed myself up against his straining erection. He pushed the fabric of my shorts aside and the second he parted my folds with his index finger, I shuddered. He plunged a long index finger inside of me, and for a second my eyes rolled back in my head until he withdrew it. I cried out in frustration, wiggling myself against him, needing him to make me feel anything other than empty.
