I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could have improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where I love interacting with my readers.

ABOUT SEDUCTIVE NIGHTS: The Standalone Novels Box Set

Seductive Nights: The Standalone Novels is a box set of the two New York Times Bestselling standalone novels in the wildly popular SEDUCTIVE NIGHTS series by bestselling romance author Lauren Blakely.

NIGHTS WITH HIM

Jack Sullivan is a Sex Toy Mogul. An extremely eligible bachelor in New York, he’s the full package, right down to his full package. Hell, this man could be the model for one of the toys his company, Joy Delivered, peddles. Instead, he’s the powerful and successful CEO and he’s got commitment issues a mile-long after the tragic way his relationship with his fiancée ended. He’s looking for a way to erase the pain and that arrives in the form of Michelle Milo. From her pencil skirts to her high heels, she’s his perfect fantasy, especially since she has no idea who he is the night they meet at a hotel bar. He doesn’t have a clue either that she’s the brilliant psychologist his sister has arranged for him to see to help him get over his past. His touch helps her forget that other man. When he shows up at her office door the next day, there’s no way in hell she’s going to treat him after they’ve slept together. Jack isn’t willing to let go of the first woman he’s felt anything for in years so he proposes a deal – share her nights with him for thirty days. At the end of one month of exquisite pleasure, they walk away, having helped each other move on from their haunted pasts. But soon, all those nights threaten to turn into days as the lines between lust and matters of the heart start to blur. Can two people so terribly afraid of love truly fall head over heels?

FORBIDDEN NIGHTS

She has been the star of his dirty dreams for years. Sexy hotel CEO Nate Harper has lusted after his good friend Casey Sullivan for a long time, and she’s cried out his name in pleasure countless times in his fabulously filthy fantasies. But even though he’s quite skilled at pleasing a woman, he won’t act on his intense desire because he knows he’s no good for her. After the kind of hurt his ex inflicted on him, he’s a committed playboy for life, and Casey only wants true love. All that changes one hot night when she comes to him with a proposition he can’t resist — she wants him to teach her to be submissive in the bedroom. Casey soon learns how very much she likes letting go of control to him. She’s never been more turned on in her life than she is in Nate’s arms. And he’s never been more taken by a woman. The only trouble is as she experiences what it means to let go, he starts to experience what it means to feel again…And the lessons in seduction threaten to turn into so much more than either one bargained for… What happens when years of desire and lust ignite a passion that can’t be denied?

FORBIDDEN NIGHTS Excerpt

He threw the napkin on the table and reached for her hand. Her expression was one of complete surprise. “Dance with me.”

Her lips quirked up and she seemed to understand what he’d done. Given her an order. She nodded demurely and he led her to a small sliver of a dance floor, near where the woman with the microphone was singing a Billie Holiday number. He pulled Casey in close. She tensed briefly, as if unsure where to rest her hands, whether on his shoulders or waist. He planted them firmly on his shoulders, and wrapped his arms around her sexy, slim waist that fit perfectly in his hands.

“Just relax and let me lead,” he said, whispering in her ear, a waft of her tropical scent drifting by his nostrils. She shivered briefly against him, and that nearly did him in. He stayed strong, swaying gently, guiding her in slow, sensuous moves. “I’ll show you how to let go, but you have to trust me. And that’s where it starts. With trust. I’m not a Dom, you’re not my Sub—we’re not going to join a BDSM club, or sign a contract. But I can show you how good it will feel when you give up control.”

She breathed in sharply, as if acclimating to new air on a distant planet. “Why do men like a woman to give up control? What is it about the lack of control that men like so much?”

“It’s not that they like a lack of control. But a man wants a woman who gives herself to him. He wants a woman to melt into his arms, to get aroused from a kiss on the back of her neck,” he said, and traced a fingertip gently under her hair, watching her reaction as she drew in a breath. “It’s the hand on her arm.” He trailed his fingers down her bare skin to her elbow as he leaned in to whisper, “Or warm breath near her ear.” She gasped, and he kept going. “He wants a woman who’s so turned on, she’ll nearly beg for it. He wants her abandon. He wants to be the only one to make her feel that way.”

She parted her lips to speak, but he shushed her with his fingertip against them. God, he was so tempted to let her suck on his finger right now, to watch her simulate a blow job, to let her show him what she could do. But that would come later. He needed to kiss her first.

That is, after he teased her.

“At some point soon, some point very, very soon, I’m going to kiss you,” he said, watching the expression in her eyes shift to a heady kind of desire. Her fingers curved into his shoulders, holding on tightly to him. “You’re going to close your eyes,” he said, and then her lids fluttered closed. “And you’re not going to know when it’s coming. You’re going to want it. Your body is going to be crying out for a kiss,” he said, his voice husky and raw as her chest rose and fell, and she moved closer to him as they swayed. He cupped the back of her neck, watching her response to every touch, from the way her lips parted as he threaded his hands through her hair, to how she leaned back into him, almost relishing the way his fingers ran slowly through those soft, wavy strands. A sigh came next, a desperate needy sigh, and a barely-there arch of her back, her body seeking out more contact. “But I might not kiss you yet. I might run my hands down your arms,” he said, then did just that. “Or maybe I’ll stop telling you what I’m going to do.”

BLOG TOUR STOP: REVIEW AND GIVEAWAY: Sugar Baby Beautiful by J.J. McAvoy

SugarBabyBeautifulTour

Sugar Baby Beautiful by J.J. McAvoy
Publication Date: 21 August 2015
Genres: Contemporary, New Adult, Romance

Tour: Sugar Baby Beautiful by J.J. McAvoy

Amazon • B&N

When twenty-four-year-old Felicity Harper is dragged to a sugar party, an event where wealthy men and women seek “companionship,” she never expects this one simple decision to drastically change her whole life. Her past is nothing but broken dreams and heartache. Her present is detached and dull. And her future? Well, before meeting Theodore Darcy, the famed film director, writer, producer and CEO of Darcy Entertainment, she would have expected more of the same. Love is just a fantasy and she wants no part of it—even if she can’t deny the undeniable attraction between the two of them. So their arrangement is simple: sex with no strings attracted. But as their intimacy becomes more powerful, so do Felicity’s demons. Can Theo really shoulder her past and his own? And could Felicity even let him?

Review

Felicity’s story is definitely not what I expected from the synopsis and title, but the way J.J. McAvoy delivers it and the information that is revealed – facts that I never saw coming – makes Sugar Baby Beautiful a fantastic read about so much more than having someone provide a lifestyle simply by looking good in his/her presence.

Felicity Harper is quite the enigma…from the very beginning, readers can tell that there’s more to her that what she allows people, even readers, to see. She’s hellbent on concealing her past by not allowing anyone to know too much about her. This is how Felicity copes with the life she’s been dealt…from a mistake that forces her to punish herself by losing things that she loved. Even though Felicity’s not content with how she’s living, she can’t risk more…she can’t handle giving herself to someone because she’s scared at what might happen if she does.

But Felicity never counted on meeting Theodore Darcy – an alpha male who’s used to getting what he wants, and he most definitely wants Felicity in his bed…in his life…any way he can have her. There’s a lot to know and understand about Theo, and J.J. McAvoy slowly unravels the mystery behind the possessive billionaire and what he’s willing to risk to keep the woman whose made him come to life. But Theo’s not the only one with layers to his personality; in fact, Felicity seems much more elusive, and as clues to her past filter into her present, it’s still extremely difficult to construct a big picture understanding because there’s parts to her that still remain unknown.

Sugar Baby Beautiful is my first read by J.J. McAvoy, so I didn’t quite know what to expect from her writing style or characters, but I have to say that I love the fact that nothing is transparent in her storytelling. McAvoy takes the story in one direction, but then turns it on its side in order to progress the way that she wants, and she does that with her characters as well. All of the characters seem to hold their cards tightly to their chest, never giving everything at once, always making people work to see who they are and what they’re all about, and to me, those are the best types of characters because readers get to experience the characters’ evolvement, and as revelations are brought out, because we’ve been watching everything seamlessly unfold in the way that McAvoy wants it to, the ah ha moment astonishes us – at least at first – but then when we take a moment to rewind the events of the story, we see small clues sprinkled about just waiting to be acknowledged, but they can’t be until McAvoy allows readers to see a clear picture, which she does by building the story the way that she wants to and making it intriguing as it’s constructed.

RELEASE DAY: Twinsequences Double Release by Jennifer Foor

twinsdoublereleasebanner
Twinsequences_ecover

I’d shared everything with Ivy since we were born. She was my exact double. We were only two minutes apart. I never thought that my own twin sister would steal away my one chance at happiness, but that is exactly what she’d done. She didn’t even know that I was in love with him. How could she? Ivy was too busy being Miss Popular to notice what I wanted. After having my heart broken, I’d decided to leave my town, and my sister, to go to college out of state. For the past four years, I’d done nothing but work to make a life for myself. We were still the best of friends, but going home was too hard for me to face and I hadn’t been back since they’d gotten married. I wanted my sister to be happy, even if it meant I never would be. She didn’t have the brains, or the successful future that I knew was coming to me. But, she’d always have the one thing I wanted. The one thing, I could never have. Stoshua Wheeler. A late night phone call brought me back to town. I should have never considered her request. It wasn’t right to pretend to be her, but she said she was in trouble. I had to help her. I’d dreamed of being her for five years. I envied their relationship. I wanted her life. What was I willing to risk to take it for myself? I’m Willow Green and this is my story. 

Twinsequences2_BN

Twinsequences 2

Three years ago I killed a man and did inconceivable things to anyone that stood in the way of my plan to ruin my twin sister’s life. Things backfired, and I’ve been locked up in this nuthouse ever since.

Willow and Stoshua think I’m out of their lives for good. They’ve moved away and changed their identities to make it harder for me to find them. They assume their little family is safe from my reckoning.

But they’re wrong…

This time I’ll get it right.

This time her life will become mine.

I was born Ivy, but when I’m done you’ll call me Willow.

BLOG TOUR STOP: REVIEW, EXCERPT, AND GIVEAWAY: Never Say Never by Nicole Edwards

Never Say Never by Nicole Edwards

A Sniper 1 Security Novel, Book 2. M/M Romance

NSN blog banner1 (1)

Ryan Trexler has devoted his entire life to his family’s security business. And now that he’s slated to take over the reins for the company, RT knows that his life is only going to get more complicated. Add in the fact that he’s lusting over one of the men who works for him and RT knows that there are some serious tough times ahead. 

Zachariah Tavoularis—nicknamed Z—has been employed by Sniper 1 Security for a decade. Despite being known as the most loyal enforcer outside of family, Z also has a reputation of being quite the playboy, though that was based more on rumor than fact. When an assignment comes up that forces the two of them to work together, Z knows it’s time to show RT he’s not the man he thinks he is. 

Can they complete the mission, despite the fact that it puts them in a tenuous situation, bringing them closer than either of them ever expected? And will Z allow RT to convince him that they can never be together, no matter how much they both want it?

Unedited Excerpt – subject may change prior to publication

“How’s the business goin’?” Travis asked as he steered Ryan toward a booth near the front of the bar.
“Busy,” Ryan answered.
“That’s a good thing, right?”
“Of course.” Ryan smiled as they approached Travis’s wife Kylie and their husband Gage. “Good to see y’all again.”
“Same here. Have a seat.” Gage motioned toward the opposite side of the table as he slid his other arm over Kylie’s shoulders and pulled her close while Travis grabbed a chair.
Flipping it around backward, Travis straddled the seat, placing his elbow on the table. Ryan didn’t miss that Travis’s other hand disappeared under the table, likely resting on Kylie’s leg if he had to guess.
“We weren’t sure you’d be able to make it,” Travis said.
Ryan knew he could always be called back to work at any time, depending on the case, but he didn’t need to tell Travis as much. The man ran a multi-million dollar resort, so he understood. “I’m glad I could.”
“How’s Z doin’?” Kylie asked, peering toward the back of the room where Z had been pulled away by his friends a few minutes before.
“You know Z. Nothing gets him down.”
Gage smiled. “Seems he’s quite interested in you.”
Knowing better, Ryan still turned to glance in Z’s direction. He thought for sure he’d be busted stealing a look, but Z was paying him no attention.
“And you’re quite interested in him,” Kylie noted.
Ryan’s head snapped back around to face her. He was about to fire off a rebuttal, but her smile silenced him.
“Leave the poor man alone,” Travis injected. “He’s in denial.”
Ryan snorted.
“I concur,” Gage added.
“Why’s everybody gangin’ up on me?” Ryan questioned, unable to hide the smile.
“Seemed like the thing to do.” Travis took a sip of his beer.

 NSN review

Nicole Edwards writes fantastic books; there hasn’t been one that I haven’t enjoyed. She’s definitely the Queen of menage, but she’s also one of my go to authors for M/M reads and the solid writing and fantastic character development in Never Say Never is one of the main reasons that I can’t get enough of her hot alpha males who fight hard and play even harder.

“Never Say Never” – it’s definitely a good motto to live by, and for Zachariah “Z” Tavoularis, it’s one that allows him to weather the storm that his long time crush and boss, Ryan Trexler, forces him to go through as RT fights his attraction to Z because he refuses to mix business with pleasure ever again after the debacle that occurred three years ago with Kevin. But the heart and body want what they want and as much as Ryan forces himself to not allow emotions/lust to influence his decisions, Z’s pull is too much for him to combat, but if Ryan doesn’t get out of his own head, it might just ruin the best thing to ever happen to him before it ever really begins.

Most of the time, I’m a first person point of view reader; I don’t usually feel like I get inside characters’ heads when the story is written in third person, but Edwards always manages to reveal everything to readers through her meticulous character evolvement. Readers actually learn more about Z than his co workers and friends know about him because he’s such a private person so they’ve had to establish their own views on his life, which are definitely a misrepresentation of who Z is and even Ryan is guilty of this skewed view.

The secondary story line is the whole reason Ryan and Z are forced to face their feelings for one another, and it’s a great backdrop for them to consider what risks they’re willing to take in order to have the man they want.

Z and Ryan definitely sizzle when they’re together; they’re both control freaks, so it’s interesting to see how they both attempt to top from the bottom. The way Edwards writes their sexual encounters as well as their lust filled foreplay is enough to make any reader weak in the knees and wet in the panties.

I can’t fault Ryan for his uneasiness in pursuing a relationship with Z even one of a sexual nature. Edwards definitely makes it clear where Ryan is coming from, but that doesn’t mean his actions didn’t frustrate the heck out of me. His hot and cold demeanor and the pain it caused Z definitely didn’t sit well with me.

I have to say that I love Z and everything that makes him who he is; he’s an incredibly trustworthy and caring man who everybody wants to be around because he has a certain charisma about him that pulls people to his side.

Never Say Never is a sexy, angsty and suspenseful read whose main and secondary characters know how to have a good time and get the job done. I was rooting for Ryan and Z from the very beginning, but I knew that Ryan was going to have to work things out for himself before he woke up to what he was missing out on by resisting Z’s charms.

I can’t wait to see which alpha is up next!

Synopsis

 

I’d been hurt. But then again, what girl hasn’t?

I wouldn’t let myself fall again.
I was smarter than that.
Used them before they used me—live the way I wanted.
No man was worth a broken heart.

David seemed the perfect match for me.
He scared me and thrilled me.
Tested me and saved me.

But bad habits were hard to break.

Love wasn’t worth the fall.

* * *
Roxie stormed into my life, demanded my attention.

She’d built thick walls around her heart.
I needed to demolish them and claim her.
She fought me at every turn—refused to be tamed.
I wanted her to be mine.

The course of my life changed.
I made selfish decisions.
Lost my way.

I couldn’t hold onto her.

My mistakes haunted me.

Silhouette of a woman standing at the window in the morning

Excerpt

I scanned the crowd hugging the bar as I moved that way. There seemed to be mostly couples with only a few single guys, though none caught my interest. My eyes fell on a guy sitting by himself at the far end, facing me.

I drank him in slowly as I made my way over. He wore a gray suit with a red tie and filled the suit out perfectly. His hair was slightly curly, though he had it well contained. I wanted to run my fingers through it. Dark stubble dusted his chin. I knew it would feel delicious running against my skin. Everything about him from a distance was unbelievably sexy.

Then I got close enough to notice his eyes, and they were a piercing blue. Bedroom eyes, as though he were in the throes of passion. He flicked them toward me before he turned his attention back to the rum in front of him, and it seemed he looked right through me.

He was, undeniably, the sexiest man I’d ever seen, especially here at Trinity. He looked like a model, fresh from the pages of a magazine. I ordered another Sex on the Beach and his eyes lifted to meet mine again and he smirked, though only one side of his mouth came up.

I needed him tonight. He was the perfect distraction to make me forget my shitty day.

“What?” I asked as I wrapped my lips around my straw. His eyes dropped briefly to my mouth before coming back up to meet my eyes.

“Sex on the Beach? I didn’t think anyone actually drank those.” My heart skipped a beat. His voice was deep and smooth. And he had a British accent. Dear God. Accents were my weakness. It didn’t matter what kind of accent it was. There was just something about them that made me weak in the knees. Desire coursed through me. He was one sexy motherfucker. Hopefully, he’d be with me tonight.

I hummed with my lips still around the straw. His eyes dropped to my lips again and stayed there. I licked my lower lip before talking, enjoying this game. “I normally don’t, but I wanted something… tasty tonight.”

His eyes scanned my body, making me glad I wore my new red dress that hugged me in all the right places. It gave a promise of cleavage I most definitely wanted to deliver on. “Tasty,” he mused.

“Mmm hmm.” I slipped the straw between my lips again and sipped. He rewarded me with the sexy half smirk. “What brings you in to Trinity tonight?”

“I had a meeting next door and needed a drink afterwards.”

I turned so my body faced him and moved nearer until his warm breath fanned my cheek. I could hear him just fine over the music, but I wanted to be closer, so he knew exactly what I had in mind. I let the front of my body brush against his. “Was it a tough meeting?” Innuendo and desire dripped off my words. I wanted him in bed. Badly. More than any man I’d ever bedded before. I just knew he would live up to the promise in his eyes.

“You could say that.” He threw back the rest of his rum and signaled for another. The bartender, a woman, came over immediately and filled it. She leaned over the corner of the bar, pressing her overflowing breasts so they popped out of her neckline even more.

“Anything else?” she purred.

He didn’t spare her another look or word, just laid money down on the bar. The bartender glared at me before turning away. I smiled, happy that he ignored her and happy his eyes were back on me.

“I think she wanted your attention.”

His gaze slid down my body again before meeting my own. “I already have the attention of one gorgeous woman. Who needs another?”

My heart nearly burst from my chest. My panties had to be on fire with the way he looked at me. “Confident.”

“I know what I want.”

“How do you know what I want?”

His lips quirked up. “Because I saw you watching me, stalking me from across the room.”

He’d been watching me? I warmed at that thought. “Oh, really?”

His hand fell on my hip, where my skin was on fire. What would happen when he touched my bare skin? He turned to the side and pulled me between his legs, pressed me close with a hand on my lower back, so low he almost touched my ass. “I know what you want.” He ran his nose along my jaw and tingles ran across my whole body. He stopped with his lips right next to my ear. “And I know I want you.”

I wanted to pass out on the floor. He was one smooth bastard. “I don’t even know your name.”

His lips stayed by my ear, brushing it as they moved. “David.”

“David,” I repeated, mostly in a daze. His other hand abandoned his glass and joined its twin on my lower back. I was pressed so tightly against him that I felt his reaction to me. My breath caught in my throat.

I was in over my head.

“Why don’t you tell me your name?” His voice murmuring in my ear made my brain stop functioning.

“Roxie.” My voice was so breathy and full of desire, I was amazed he heard it.

“Roxie.” The way he said it was so sexy. God, this was hot. Him holding me, talking in my ear, pressed intimately against me. I put my hands around his neck and toyed with the hair that brushed the collar of his shirt.

“It’s nice to meet you, David.”

His response was to nuzzle my neck and trail light kisses there. I shivered. Actually shivered. No man had ever caused a reaction like this in me. “I’m staying in the hotel across the street. Want to come to my room?” he whispered in my ear.

“Yes,” I breathed.

He grabbed my hand and led me out of the club.

Twelve years ago Tucker McCoy walked away from the hell that was his family with not much more than the shirt on his back. No regrets. Never once looking back.

Living his life as a roustabout turned stunt rider with a traveling carnival keeps a smile on his face. His new family are the people he’s chosen to be in his life, the people who travel his road. Kes, Zach and Zef don’t share his blood, but they share his hopes and dreams. Understand his fears and know what makes him tick. They’re his brothers, his real family.

If you keep moving, no one can catch you—it’s a simple rule. So when Tucker crosses paths with Tera Hawkins, he knows he should move on. There’s no woman that’s ever been worth breaking his rules for. Besides, she’s off limits, untouchable. He knows stronger men would walk away, but dammit, he’s always been weak.

Review 

Holy Hell! Officer Ben Kelly and his pretty girl, Mia, have to be one of the hottest and sweetest couples I have ever read about. Their affection and desire for each other resonates off of every page! They’re it for each other and their life is everything they hoped it would be…except a little one on one time is definitely something they could use more of;)

I loved getting more of Ben and Mia’s story and their growing family. Nolan is still as precious as he was when he was three, and he loves his brother, Chase, something fierce. The idea of finding time to be a couple when you have kids is definitely something readers will relate to; I’m sure everyone has been c**k blocked by their children one time or another, and sometimes people have to get quite creative in order to have sex. The sizzle between Ben and Mia is as hot as ever and J. Daniels illustrates their connection with their dirty comments, need to constantly touch each other, and the internal musings about how lucky they are to have each other.

I adore this series and J. Daniels is one of my must read authors!

I can’t get enough of the Kelly family and Daniels’ Alabama Boys series, and I can’t wait for Riley and CJ’s story!

Cherry’s life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip’s arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets can’t stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry can’t speak a word or she’ll lose it all.

Lip is no stranger to the criminal life. Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. He’ll do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in prison. But nobody could have predicted life’s plan. Rugged, tattooed, and wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies than his cage could hold.
