Review

I was so excited to be back in Sierra Simone’s decadent world of lust, love, and money. Simone has once again proven why historical romances are her forte. The setting and social codes of high society are brilliantly brought to life with Simone’s vivid details and characterizations; she allows readers an inside look at what happens behind closed doors and the sexual dalliances that remain secret regardless of the rumors because it would be frowned upon in the eyes of society regardless of their own proclivities.

Molly may not have been my favorite person in the Markham Hall series, but she has proven to be an articulate, intelligent, and strong “modern” woman. One who refuses to let herself be pushed around…one who has sacrificed herself in so many ways to save her father’s company and bow down to no man unless it’s of her own choosing. Sierra Simone meticulously illustrates Molly’s personal conflict between doing what she has to, to doing what she wants to do. The situation that Molly finds herself in is one that she wouldn’t wish upon another person because it breaks her heart and allows someone else to control her life…her work…her body, but no matter how she tries to work around the contract and fuse her personal and professional life together in a way that’s forever unless she asks for help, which is not something she will willingly do.

Silas proves to be quite the honorable man in the conclusion of his and Molly’s story. He has a lot to make up for when it comes to his actions, but I would say he proves to Molly the type of man he truly is when he fights for the woman he loves. I love how Sierra Simone plays on the duality of Silas’ character. His complexity is what makes Silas beyond attractive and his charm, his wit, his beauty, and his heart are all things he wants to give to Molly regardless of the past and regardless of how bleak the present is due to Molly’s need to save her company.

I’m definitely not ready to say goodbye to Simone’s historical characters and setting; there are a few more characters whose stories need to be told, and I’m hoping she’ll start with the Baron.

Summary

It ends with the beginning. This legendary, indie, cult-favorite series ends its tale with the story of the Poughkeepsie brotherhood before the tattoo. Before the train station, before the church, before a criminal empire there was a foster home and three teen boys who chose each other as family, because the ones they were born into didn’t exist

Still in high school, Beckett is already laying the groundwork for a grander life ahead, one where his brothers want for nothing and get some respect for once. But even as he plans, Beckett must decide if he’s ready to make that choice—diving in to a life that trades his chance at a future, his chance at something as simple as first love with a girl named Candy Cox, for their chance to find happiness.

Blake, Beckett, and Cole’s devotion to each other is forged by fists and the driving need to belong somewhere, to do more than just survive this life. Readers of the series know they each get there in the end, but before we count smiles, we must first shed tears. These early days of the Poughkeepsie brotherhood will play on your heartstrings before serrating them with a knife; they’ll lift your soul with music, only to leave you with nothing but a desperate prayer for hope.

And when you reach the end of the beginning, you’ll be ready to start the series all over again.

Review 

And so it begins…

At the core of Beckett, Blake, and Cole’s relationship is absolute trust and devotion. They may not be related by blood, but they’re true brothers in every since of the word, helping each other to feel like they belong and giving one another a way to be more than they were.

Through the battles of loneliness, fear, and pain, the brothers have stood by each other, never leaving anyone behind, believing in one another and paving the way for them to survive their messed up pasts and maddening presents.

The Quiet One
The Broken One
The Reckless One

All three damaged in irreparable ways but somehow moving forward out of sheer will and desperation. Blake’s issues leave him seeking solitude away from the light, shrouding himself in darkness in order to keep the monsters at bay. Cole loses himself in his psyche in order to endure his tormented memories and shield himself from the pain. Beckett is clearly their leader and he’s the perfect choice because he goes out of his way to take care of those closest to him and do the kind of things that may not make him moral and honest but it definitely illustrates how he protects his own at all costs to himself.

The brotherhood Beckett, Blake, and Cole share is one that was established early on in order to survive foster care, but it continues because they willingly fight in each other’s corner at all costs. Nothing is more important than protecting their bond and being available at all times so they never have to endure anything alone. And, this idea is meticulously illustrated throughout Poughkeepsie Begins.

Regardless of the situation, everyone chooses a path to follow and Debra Anastasia provides readers with how the Poughkeepsie brothers decided which way to go and for what reasons, allowing us to understand what led Beckett to a life of power and crime; Blake to his music, and Cole to his faith.

Never Alone. Brothers Forever. No one gets left alone.

4 Poison Apples

End at the beginning PB Teaser

Excerpt

When she ducked under the bleachers, he was a dick, right off the bat. His buzz was wearing off, but he was still high and broken at the closeness of her. “You’re missing your boyfriend during his lawn ballet.” He assumed a stance—douche mixed with confrontational—that he knew stopped people. It set up his walls real nice. With everyone.

Everyone but her. She walked right up to him. She pushed him hard once, twice, until his back hit one of the supports. And then she slapped him.

He took the slap and rolled his eyes. “That all you got for me, pink princess?”

And then she was kissing him. Oh, God. Kissing him and palming him with the same ferociousness he felt. He grabbed the metal behind him to keep from attacking her and nailing her right on the concrete floor littered with cigarettes and chip bags.

She pulled away and slapped him again, growling, “Fuck you, Beckett Taylor. Don’t you ever do that to me again. I’m worth more than that, and you know it.” She stepped back, leaving cold space and his heated erection between them.

He swallowed, his pounding heart trying to beat some common sense into his brain again. It wasn’t working. He let go of the bleachers and advanced. “You have some fucking nerve. You’re the one up there prom-queening it with goddamn Ryler.”

She stood her ground as he came at her. And he knew he was intimidating. Shit, full-grown men stepped aside when he was coming. But Candy raised her chin. He was amazed at the fight in her, right there. He pulled her into a dip, just like fucking Pyler had, except he did it like a man who wanted a woman and knew what to do with her body. Candy needed to push him away; she needed to turn her head.

Instead she groaned and bit his bottom lip hard enough to draw blood. He put his hand between her legs and dragged it up to her breast, squeezing hard so she would feel it through her coat. She sunk her nails into the skin at his neck. She was a buried treasure. He was sure as fuck no one knew about this side of her. Only he could get her panting like she was. He spanked her bottom once.

“Ow.” She was shocked.

He stopped kissing and looked her in the face as he spanked her again, more forcefully this time.

Her “Ow” was quieter, and the hunger in her eyes far deeper than her years.

Again he spanked her. And this time she purred. Fucking purred. He began slow, circular caresses over the denim that covered her ass. He was desperate to see the red imprints from his hand.

“Fuck it.” Beckett picked her up and set her back against the metal support he’d tried to cling to before.

They weren’t alone. Red tips of cigarettes glowed, gentle murmurs of illicit behavior could be heard if you knew how to listen for trouble. Still, he held her against the pole and mimicked the motions he was desperate to do with her. He dropped his mouth to the zipper on her coat, which kept her safe from all his intentions. He used his teeth to pull it down to her cleavage. He buried his face, licking and nuzzling her sweet-smelling neck. He used his chin to move material so he could access more of her chest. She smelled like goddamn candy. His dick could pack gunpowder in a cannon it was so fucking hard.

After a moment, the murmurs added up. Too many. He glanced around and noticed the cigarettes being stubbed out. He let his prize slide down the metal gently. He leaned down to kiss her lips, then her forehead, right under the edge of her fuzzy hat before whispering, “Go. Cops are here. Go.”

And then Candy, sweet-smelling, homework-doing Candy, stuck her hand in his jacket’s hidden pocket and took the gun out. He pulled her hands and his gun close to make sure the safety was on before letting her tuck it into her bra.

“Anything else?” she asked.

And then he slipped the rest of the merchandise in his left pocket into her right one. She turned and left.

“And don’t you ever talk to me again, Taylor. I have a boyfriend!” She stormed away as the resource officer stepped up next to him.

“You have a way with the ladies, son.”

“I’m not your son.”

“That’s the truth right there. ’Cause if you were, you’d be on that field kicking footballs instead of selling at my school.”

When Beckett was let off with a warning due to lack of evidence, his one thought was of her. Candy was so perfect for him it hurt.

RELEASE PROMO: Dare to Seduce by Carly Phillips

1b

Excerpt

Max Savage glanced across the lush green lawn of Gabriel and Isabelle Dare’s Bedford, New York, home, his gaze focused on the sexy brunette he couldn’t get out of his head. Lucy Dare, dressed in a conservative pants suit, her luxurious dark hair pulled into a bun, stood beside her date, a Hollywood director who was a douchebag of the first order.

The last time Max had seen Lucy, she’d been her wild and free self. Then she’d hooked up with that guy and she’d changed. And not in a good way. He wanted fun, sexy Lucy back.

“How badly do you want to punch that guy’s teeth in?”

“So badly,” Max muttered, then glanced over, realizing the question came from Lucy’s brother, Decklan Dare.

Max shook his head and changed his answer, because it would do no good to let his best friend know he was obsessing over the guy’s little sister. He’d kept it to himself for years, partially as an excuse to deny what he really wanted, but regardless, this wasn’t the right time to bring up the issue.

“Who do you mean?” Max asked.

Decklan rolled his eyes. “Oh, come on. I know you hate that Spielberg wannabe as much as we do.”

“Can’t say he’d be my first choice for your sister.”

“That’s rich considering it’s your fault she’s with him to begin with.” Decklan eyed Max with distinct annoyance in his gaze.

“How the hell do you figure that?” Max asked.

Decklan’s older brother, Gabe, joined them, and from the look on his face, he’d clearly caught the tail end of the conversation.

“Face it, Savage. We know you have a thing for Lucy,” Gabe said.

Just how the brothers had gleaned that bit of knowledge was beyond Max. Nobody had a better poker face than him.

Decklan merely nodded in agreement.

“You didn’t take your chance last time she was in town, and now she’s with that asshole,” Gabe added, angling his head toward where his sister stood with Lucas Kellan.

“Well, fuck.” Max wasn’t about to deny what had clearly been more obvious than he’d intended.

Both Dare brothers narrowed their gazes on him, waiting for an explanation.

“What? I didn’t think you’d approve, and I wasn’t about to mess up years’ worth of friendship if you didn’t.” He was sticking to the tried-and-true excuse he’d told himself for years. In reality, Max had his reasons for staying away from 

Lucy for so long and for fucking up more than just his life in the process. But they were his, and he wouldn’t be sharing them.

“The only way you’d compromise friendships would be if you used or hurt my sister. If your intentions are honorable, I have no issue,” said Gabe, the man who’d raised Lucy after their parents died in a car accident.

Max glanced at Decklan. They both knew Max’s recent past. He’d married young, lost his wife, Cindy, in a car accident, and had a subsequent lack of serious relationships since. What Decklan didn’t know was the guilt Max harbored over the emotions he hadn’t been able to give his wife, due to the feelings he’d always had for Lucy. Hell, he’d married Cindy because he didn’t have those intense feelings, and everyone had paid a price.

Max shifted uncomfortably and cleared his throat and glanced at Decklan, who, like Gabe, was extremely protective of his sister. “You too? You’re okay with this?” he asked.

His best friend shrugged. “Well, you’re an asshole but you’re our asshole.” He slapped Max on the back, his expression sobering. “Look, Cindy died four years ago, and you haven’t been with anyone seriously since.”

Neither one of them mentioned Max’s penchant for sex clubs on the weekends. It had been a way to fill the emptiness inside him, nothing more.

“But Gabe is right,” Decklan said. “I see how you look at Lucy. You should do something about it if your intentions are solid.”

They finally were. For years Max had denied his need for Lucy and the emotional bond he knew they would share if they took things to the next level. Fear had driven him. Now Max was finally ready to go after the woman he’d always wanted.

“Just don’t blow it or we will have an issue,” Decklan cheerfully added.

Max didn’t need to be told twice. He made his way across the lawn and veered between guests, coming up to where Lucy and her date stood by the bar.

About LISTEN TO ME

In New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Proby’s brand new series, five best friends open a hot new restaurant, but one of them gets much more than she bargained for when a sexy former rock star walks through the doors—and into her heart.

Seduction is quickly becoming the hottest new restaurant in Portland, and Addison Wade is proud to claim 1/5 of the credit. She’s determined to make it a success and can’t think of a better way to bring in new customers than live music. But when former rock star Jake Keller swaggers through the doors to apply for the weekend gig, she knows she’s in trouble. Addie instantly recognizes him—his posters were plastered all over her bedroom walls in high school—he’s all bad boy…exactly her type and exactly what she doesn’t need.

Jake Keller walked away from the limelight five years ago and yearns to return to what’s always driven him: the music. If he gets to work for a smart-mouthed, funny-as-hell bombshell, all the better. But talking Addie into giving him the job is far easier than persuading her that he wants more than a romp in her bed. Just when she begins to drop her walls, Jake’s past finally catches up with him.

Will Addie be torn apart once again or will Jake be able to convince her to drown out her doubts and listen to her heart?

RELEASE WEEK REVIEW: CRUSH by Kim Karr

Buy_now_banner_Crush

✯ ✯ ✯ ✯ ✯

cooltext140200083012419

CRUSH AMAZONThe danger isn’t over.

It’s only just begun.

Circumstances brought them together and their undeniable connection won’t let them part. But when the past and the present collide, emotions run high—things are said, lines are crossed, and rules are broken. Both focused on crushing the enemy, the retribution is almost too much to bear. Still, there’s no undoing what has already been done, and every action has a consequence.

He loves her and she loves him, but love isn’t a shield.

Sometimes your only choice is the one you’d rather not make. Pushed to the limit, the tainted love of Logan and Elle is in jeopardy. With outside forces driving a wedge between them, they have to dig deep within their souls to release the ghosts of their pasts, and fight even harder for what neither knew they needed—each other.

Can love really conquer all?

Review

A life for a life. That’s the way of the mob, and unfortunately, that’s a deal that Logan knows too well, and it’s an idea he refuses to allow to touch Elle because regardless of how quickly their relationship progressed, she’s his, and he’s not willing to sacrifice Elle for anyone, including himself.

The stakes are high in the conclusion of Kim Karr’s The Tainted Love Duet, and the outcome could go either way because there are a lot of players in the game, both known and unknown, who serve as a threat to the happiness that Logan and Elle seek. The truth is definitely not what it seems, and until Logan can unravel the clues and be released from the sins of his past, both Logan and Elle can be crushed, not just by the acts of others, but also from their own fears and anger.

I knew that Logan and Elle were going to have to overcome a lot of obstacles to truly be together in the end, but I never imagined all of the secrets, lies, threats, and danger that would become a constant as the days continued, and Logan worked to secure their safety once and for all.

Kim Karr weaves a meticulous story of suspense, passion, and heart stopping action. There’s a lot on the line for both Logan and Elle, including their relationship, and readers get to see firsthand what and why they’re willing to risk it all for those they love.

Logan has intrigued me since the very first meeting, and he becomes even more dynamic in Crush. His dual life had the power to defeat him, but his role as protector helps him to not drown in his mistakes and do his best to ensure that he has a future with the woman he loves. I loved watching his mind work as he struggled to understand the truth behind the lies and deception. Logan’s strength and confidence allowed him to keep fighting even when the world around him was turned on his side, and he was forced to deal with events and actions that would have conquered a lesser man. Elle comes into her own as well in Crush. She uses Logan’s love and strength to help her unleash the warrior inside her and not allow the fear to consume her. It’s not easy for her but as long as she knows Logan has her back, she pushes forward.

I’ve always loved Kim Karr’s writing, but her Tainted Love Duet truly proves how gifted of a writer she is. There’s never a dull moment in Logan and Elle’s story and readers are on edge throughout the entire text wondering how the actions and truths of others will affect them, and if they’ll make it through all of the danger that threatens to destroy them.

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

COVER REVEAL: JAGGER by Chelsea Camaron and MJ Fields

Jagger cover

Title: JAGGER (Caldwell Brothers, #3)

Authors: Chelsea Camaron & MJ Fields

Release Date: April 19, 2016

Publisher: Loveswept, a Penguin Random House imprint

add-to-goodreads-button31

 

Synopsis

Full of swagger and sensuality, the Caldwell Brothers series—perfect for fans of Katy Evans and Emma Chase—packs an emotional punch as the last bachelor standing fights for a woman who’s worth every ounce of trouble.

Jagger Caldwell is no one’s hero. With a reputation busting heads and breaking hearts on the underground MMA circuit, he lives for easy cash and easier women. But when he stumbles upon an all-too-familiar scene, painful memories awaken Jagger’s sensitive side and compel him to act. As a kid, he stood by helplessly as his old man beat his mom. Now, Jagger won’t let seventeen-year-old Tatiana Rand suffer the same fate. Nothing matters except saving her.

Tatiana is a prisoner in her own home, at the mercy of her violent father—until an unlikely savior bursts through her door and into her life. Six-feet-plus of tattooed muscle and raw power, Jagger is no prince charming—but Tatiana stopped believing in fairy tales long ago. Despite their differences in age and, well, everything else, the sexy bad boy sparks a fire that Tatiana never knew she had—and desires that only Jagger can quench.

Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

Hendrix (Caldwell Brothers, #1)

Amazon US | Amazon UK

HENDRIX_Cover

Hendrix Caldwell wants nothing more than to revitalize the family bar—and tear down every last reminder of his no-good father. But business isn’t the only thing on his mind. An explosive encounter with a stranger at a charity masquerade is just the distraction he craves, with no names and no strings attached. For Hendrix, sex is casual, and love is a four-letter word. His commitment is to his brothers, his bar, and his bike. So why can’t he stop thinking about the naughty Cinderella who rocked his world, then left him—and her panties—behind?
 
Olivia Hemmingway knows fairytales are for little girls. Drowning in debt and hiding a shameful secret, she won’t be saved by a knight in tattooed armor, no matter how mind-blowing their one-night stand may have been. Olivia never expects to meet her masked lover again. But when she takes a job at Hendrix Caldwell’s bar, her sexy new boss seems all too familiar. And once the lights go out and the music is turned up, the sparks between them burn hotter than ever.

 

Morrison (Caldwell Brothers, #2)

Amazon US | Amazon UK

25530110

For Morrison Caldwell, life is a game of chance. A high roller with a legendary poker face, he’s the wild card of the family, always chasing the next thrill and never staying put for long. The one place that always lures him back is Las Vegas, with its hot tables and even hotter women. He’s perfectly content to live his life as a series of one-night stands. But when a parking lot confrontation with a cocktail waitress takes a naughty turn, she leaves Morrison aching for another round. 
 
After a long losing streak in Sin City, Hailey Poe is ready to get lucky. A steamy tryst with a cocky, mysterious stranger is the kind of no-strings encounter she’s been craving . . . until Morrison Caldwell asks for more than she’s willing to offer. But when Hailey’s controlling, soon-to-be ex-husband tries to take her daughter away, she can’t afford to turn down a helping hand. In this winner-takes-all game, Morrison is gambling with Hailey’s life—and her heart.

Staying On Course Teaser

288c7-newreview

Staying on Course is the perfect title for Devon and Bryce’s conclusion because it implies that there is a definite path they’re journeying down, but that the road is sometimes tenuous due to external circumstances, forcing both Devon and Bryce to remain strong despite the distance, the jealousy, the miscommunication, and the time spent apart.

Devon’s character will both endear and frustrate readers due to some of her actions and her inability to think clearly at times and see the big picture of Bryce’s devotion to her and their life plan. But she’s inexperienced when it comes to relationships, and Bryce has been the object of her affection for so many years that I’m sure the reality that he is actually hers is a bit hard to grasp at times. One thing I absolutely love about Devon is that she does everything she can to be her own person and follow her dreams/passions despite her insecurities. She’s so talented and a career is important to her, which keeps her in check for the most part because that’s one path she will follow until the end.

Bryce’s devotion to Devon and the love he has for her is truly amazing. He knows he messed up in the past and he’s aware of what’s at stake and refuses to do anything to jeopardize his relationship. With every word and action, readers can tell how much Devon means to Bryce and how much he wants to give her the world and show her that she’s his.

Quinn brought humor into the story and helped ease the tension on more than one occasion. I love how much of a straight shooter she is; she’s Devon’s rock and she proves that she deserves the title of best friend on numerous occasions.

I’ve always loved how Ahren Sanders’ writing flows; it feels almost seamless, and it’s quite easy to become absorbed with her stories because there’s no unnecessary content. I will admit that Devon kind of annoyed me at the beginning, but then I had to remember her age and what she’d already been through with Bryce, which made it easier to accept and see it from her perspective. The angst wasn’t over done, but there’s always insecurities and issues with a long distance relationship and there can be outside forces threatening it, so the drama was necessary to prove how solid Bryce and Devon are and what they’re willing to do to prove it.

Staying the Course’s Epilogue is perfect because it shows how all of the couples readers have grown to love end up, and because Quinn and Nate are in the book so much, it’s awesome to see their future lives.

Bryce and Quinn’s story is packed full of emotion, love, and steam. The love they have for one another resonates off of the pages with every physical and emotional encounter. By the time the story ends, there’s no doubt that they belong together and are worth the pain and heartache because their happiness begins and ends with each other.

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