*This is Shea’s POV. It is highly recommended you read Bite & Release first

 

I waited my entire life for one singular moment.

Everything I had endured—all the pain and suffering—I would go through it all again,

if I knew she was waiting for me.

 

Ryan Chase was the only woman I ever loved.

My obsession. My desire.

 

When she came home . . . loving her hadn’t been easy.

The road to our particular happiness was paved with boulders.

I became who she needed me to be. Who she wanted.

Marriage and children— they were a dream we both shared.

Until a nightmare threatened to take it all away.

 

Is love supposed to be this hard?

How long before the person I’m pretending to be begins to crack?

I’m a liar. A fraud.

He is surfacing.

 

She’s the only reason I survived. I lived.

She is the reason I breathe.

Now, when she needs me the most—I’m transforming into the person

I thought I’d buried years before.

 

I can’t be without her. She gives me purpose and makes me whole.

Nevertheless, the universe chose a different route. God had a different plan.

And right now, I’m pissed at them both.

A devoted family man with three kids and a wife, Dylan has been living a secret for years.

Secrets – that word has both positive and negative connotations, depending on the situation and the reasons behind the concealment. But regardless of the motives behind the hidden information, when the truth comes out, which life shows that it usually does, the repercussions could go either way – bringing everyone close or tearing them apart.

For eighteen years, Dylan Reeves has been living a lie, keeping his true self and his needs a secret from those closest to him, specifically his children. He’s a man who lives by his convictions and willingly chooses to do the honorable thing day in and day out, ensuring his family is safe and taken care of. He denies himself what he craves because he made a promise to himself and to his wife, Teri, that he wouldn’t act on his desires until their kids were raised and out of the house, and he’s held steadfast to his word, even though his life has been lonely. But his denial, his closeted life opens up a bit when Dylan does business with Tristan Wilder. With Tristan, Dylan finds himself taking risks and discovering what he truly wants and needs, and if Tristan has anything to say about it, Dylan’s secret will be revealed sooner rather than later because as Dylan finds himself changing in ways he never thought possible, Tristan also discovers that he wants a life that’s more about business and one night stands with men he never sees again, and he wants that life with Dylan.

It’s important to discuss Teri’s role in the book because she is Dylan and Tristan’s biggest cheerleader and the catalyst for helping Dylan grab on to his happiness. She is Dylan’s partner, his best friend, the mother of his children, and a woman who knows everything about the man she’s been married to for all these years. She may not completely agree with Dylan’s choices to sacrifice his own happiness, but she stands by him and is his sounding board when his convictions begin to sway due to his feelings for Tristan. Teri and Dylan’s relationship is a magnificent display of what true love and friendship means. They want each other to live their lives, and they’ll stop at nothing to make that happen.

When Tristan meets Dylan, he is all about helping Dylan experience the joys of being a gay man and giving Dylan what he’s always craved but never gave into…Tristan protects Dylan’s secret but also vows to show Dylan that he can explore who he truly is and keep his family protected. Tristan’s commitment to Dylan never waivers, even when Dylan sends mixed signals and tries to shut Tristan out. Tristan realized early on that Dylan gives him exactly what he needs in his life, and he stops at nothing to prove to Dylan that the chance at happiness for them both is worth the risk.

Secret is a definite must read. It’s another heartwarming and sexy as hell read from Kindle Alexander. It focuses on the realistic issue of coming out or living a lie and the consequences of both options. Dylan definitely needed someone like Tristan to show him exactly what he’s been missing and Tristan also gave Dylan the courage to put his wants and needs first for once. I absolutely loved the characters and how the storyline played out. Everything about this book worked for me and I’m so glad I was given the opportunity to read it.

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

MeetTheAuthor
Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.

Excerpt

“Told you he was interested,” Jenny said, sliding up beside her.

“He wanted to talk to me about Casey.”

“Then what are you doing over here? My God, he’s melting my eyeballs and he wants to be your hero? I’d kill you if I didn’t love you. Go.” Jenny gave her a not so gentle nudge in his direction and followed behind. “Hello, hotness. Paige here has to eat before she goes to her next job. Sit,” she told Paige. “And order something or I’ll do it for you.”

Paige sat down across from him and glanced at her watch. She only had about twenty minutes.

“Brussel sprouts it is.” Jenny pretended to write on her pad.

“Okay. Grilled cheese. To go. I’ll eat it in the car.”

“She’s single by the way. Just in case you want to store that info away for another day.”

“I’m sorry. Jenny is…”

“Not married,” Jenny offered with a wink, walking away.

“Impulsive,” Paige muttered as the nerves settled in her stomach at being left alone with him.

“I’m Jake.”

His voice was deep and smooth with just that one word as he held out his hand and she slid her palm against his. It was hot, strong, and slightly rough and her heart came up into her throat.

A simple handshake but…when a man who could melt your eyeballs took your hand, stared into your eyes with his own deep brown ones, it felt like…a lot more than a handshake.

EXCERPT REVEAL: Beautifully Brutal by Nicole Edwards‏

beautifully brutal excerpt

Excerpt 

Sixteen Months ago.

“Holy shit,” she said softly. “That’s a nice car.”

“You like it?” he asked, sounding proud of himself.

“Who wouldn’t?” The newest model convertible Corvette Stingray was likely the sexiest car of them all. She’d always had a fondness for sports cars, but she’d never been truly fond of Corvettes. At least not until they recently released the Stingray again.

Max stepped in front of the car, blocking her view of the car. “Happy Birthday.”

“How…?” Confused she studied him. “How did you know?”

“What? That it was your birthday or that you’d want that car?”

Courtney peered around him. “That… That’s for me?”

“It is,” he told her. “Now go check it out.”

Feeling slightly off kilter, Courtney slowly moved around the car, her gaze darting between Max and the sleek shark gray metallic car.

“Seriously, Max. This is… Well, it’s incredible, but you know I can’t take this car.”

“Yes you can,” he told her simply.

The top was open so she peered inside, taking in the sexy jet black leather interior. She wondered what it would feel like behind the wheel.

“Get in,” he told her as he opened the passenger side door.

When he slipped into the car, she grinned. What the hell. It wouldn’t hurt to take it for a test drive, right?

And then, when they got back she’d tell him she couldn’t keep it. Because falling in love with him was one thing, accepting a car that likely cost him close to a hundred grand was something entirely different.

——————————————————————–

“Pull over,” Max instructed when they were hidden by a copse of trees deep on his land. He’d wanted her to test drive the Corvette, but admittedly he’d had something else in mind as well.

Another birthday present for her.

Courtney stopped the car, frowning when she looked over at him.

“Don’t look so upset,” he said with a smile. “Now get out.”

If he wasn’t mistaken, there was a hint of concern in her eyes, but he shrugged it off. He didn’t want to think that she’d fear him for any reason. She’d surprised him earlier when she muttered for him not to hurt her and he had to wonder where that was coming from.

Then again, she knew him, knew what he was capable of. But in the same sense, if she ever thought he would hurt her, she didn’t know him at all.

Once she met him at the front of the car. Max turned to her, taking her into his arms and crushing his mouth to hers, his hands trailing the thin fabric that covered her. She’d worn a skirt, which had been his suggestion and again, he’d had something in mind when he made the request. He had to wonder whether she’d figure that out yet or not.

Easing her back onto the hood of the car, Max pulled back enough to look at her.

“Kick off your shoes. Wouldn’t want you to scratch the paint.”

Courtney grinned, and her shoes hit the ground.

“Now for my next gift,” he told her.

“And that would be?” She asked, grinning.

“An orgasm. On the hood of your car.”

Hmm. I like the sound of that.”

Sometimes love isn’t beautiful…

Sometimes the only way to describe it is beautifully brutal.

If you think you know him… You’re wrong.

If you think you know his family… Wrong again.

If you think you know his story… You don’t.

If you did, you’d likely wonder how the hell a man like Maximillian Adorite managed to make it to this point in his life. At twenty-nine, he’s experienced more than most people could only ever imagine, all thanksto his family. Organized crime they call it. Mafia.

No matter how they spin it, it comes down to one thing. Max gets what he wants. Except for the one thing he wants most.

Her name is Courtney Kogan.

And now that he’s had a taste of her, Max knows he’ll never be able to let her go.

The Southern Boy Mafia series is a spinoff from the Sniper 1 Security series. It has been set up to be read without reading Sniper 1 Security, however, the characters will frequently cross over.

I. Remember. Everything.

Only now I wish I didn’t.

When the fog is sucked away from my mind like smoke through a vacuum, the truth that has been beyond my reach for months finally reveals itself.

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…

BLOG TOUR STOP: REVIEW, EXCERPT, AND GIVEAWAY: The Consequence of Revenge by Rachel Van Dyken #SAVEMAX

RevengeTourBanner
MaxBanner

After losing his best friend to another guy, the notoriously too-confident Max Emory suddenly feels lost. He may have devastatingly good looks, an abundance of charm, and a claim to one of the biggest hotel empires around, but he has no ambition anymore. So when his fed-up friends decide they’ve had enough of his moping, they sign him up to be the next bachelor on the reality series Love Island. And between his pride and his forged signature on an ironclad contract, Max just can’t say no.

Now he’s stranded in paradise with twenty-four women, one terrifying goat, and Becca, the breathtaking barista who already turned him down back home. The closer Max gets to Becca, the more determined he becomes to win her over. As she gets to know him better, things start heating up. But is Becca really after Max’s heart—or is she after the cash prize she could claim once the cameras stop rolling?

ea5c7-maxteaser1

Review

Revenge can be a bitch…a catalyst for change – Or, it can be a mix of both, wreaking havoc in unimaginable ways but also giving direction…a sense of worth. And no one knows both sides of revenge more so than Max Emory.

Max’s antics towards his brother, Reid and his best friend, Milo, Milo’s husband, Colt, and Milo’s brother, Jason in The Consequence of Loving Colton come back to haunt him in The Consequence of Revenge when their scheming lands Max on a reality dating show much like the Bachelor. Forcing Max to find some purpose in his life, his friends forge Max’s way into a situation where he’s forced to decide out of 25 women who range from psychotic to shy…frightening to appealing who he’ll give the chance to not only win money but a shot at his heart.

It’s an interesting position and place for Max to regroup and refocus, but oddly enough, the situation fits Max’s personality and allows him to figure out where he belongs and who he belongs with – someone who’s a best friend/partner…someone who makes him want to be better not only for himself but for her as well, and there’s a contestant on the show who just might fit his requirements – as long as she can see past the show and the money she needs for college.

Good thing first impressions aren’t held against people sometimes because Becca’s initial view on Max was anything but positive, but as soon as she spends some time with him, she sees beneath the one liners and humor and sees how perfect Max is for her. But trying for anything “real” on a reality television show is an easy feat, but somehow, Max and Becca pull it off for much of the show, but when the final choice is made will their relationship be defined by the show or their true feelings for one another?

Max’s personality, quips, and hijinxs made The Consequence of Loving Colton that much better, so I knew going into his story that the humor, crassness, and running of the mouth were going to be at the forefront of the storyline, and that’s exactly what Rachel Van Dyken gives her readers. But Max is also more than his witty comebacks and sexual innuendoes and Van Dyken presents that side of Max as well, which makes him even more swoonworthy.

Becca is the perfect partner for Max’s antics and character. She’s feisty, intelligent, and just as good with the one liners as Max is. They fit together so well and the chemistry between them resonate off of the pages of the text.

The whole gang is also there to be both a hindrance and a help to Max’s island adventure, which further creates moments of hilarity and embarrassment.

The Consequence series is a definite must read for readers looking for laughs, romance, and witty banter. Max and Becca’s story will have readers cracking up, swooning, and feeling happy because it’s a very sweet romantic comedy!

A complimentary copy was provided by the author/publisher in exchange for an honest review.

 Excerpt

Son of a possessed goat. I was screwed. Oh, wait, no, that’s what I would have been doing had my satanic brother not knocked on my door and barged in.

Becca moved slightly, her face planted against my stomach. Her breath hot on my skin. Shit, I was in a bad place, a very bad place. She would be the death of me and the last thing I needed was for Reid to think I was getting all hot and bothered because Hades had eaten another pair of my underwear.

“’Sup, Bro?” I tried to act casual as I placed my hands behind my head and exhaled.

Reid’s eyes narrowed. “You look funny.”

“I just woke up.” I faked a yawn. “You’re no perfect male specimen in the mornings either, my friend.”

“Right.” Reid looked around the room, his eyes wildly searching for something. “Have you seen Becca? I went to her hut to remind her about the morning confessional and also make sure she knew what time her date with you was, but she was gone.”

I shrugged. “Maybe she died.”

Becca pinched me in the ass.

My body jerked.

“Maybe. She. Died.” Reid repeated, his eyes narrowing more and more by the second.

“I was kidding!” I laughed nervously. “She’s probably just . . . swimming. You know.” My throat was drier than the desert. “With the fish.”

“Becca hates fish.”

“She hates sharks,” I corrected. “Fish aren’t sharks. Do you even watch the Discovery Channel when I turn it on?”

“Swimming, huh?”

“Yeah, she loves swimming, one of her favorite things to do, next to, you know . . .” Me, HA! “Art.”

“Art?” Reid looked confused. “What kind of art does she do?”

I can neither confirm nor deny that Becca was actively squeezing something that should never be squeezed in that way. Ever. And I do mean. Ever. Ever. Ever. “Er . . . she does nude art.”

And the squeeze just got worse. I kicked my feet, hoping to land one on her, but she kept squeezing.

“Nude art?” Reid laughed. “Wow, that’s kind of hot.”

“Everything about Becca’s hot.” I shrugged.

The squeezing stopped. Hey, I’d done something right!

“You really like her, don’t you?”

“Yeah, man, I really do. She’s . . . incredible.”

Was it wrong to be a bit sad at the loss of her hand?

“Hmm.” Reid scratched his head. “Hey, what’s Hades have in his mouth?”

I followed the direction of his gaze and felt my face pale. Becca’s dress. Hades had somehow grabbed it in the middle of the night and was now apparently trying to find the best way to deface it, if the way he was sitting on it was any indication.

“My dress!” I blurted. “I brought one just in case . . .”

“Dude!” Reid held up his hands. “What? Is there something you need to tell me? I mean you’ve always been sort of, like, metro, but . . .”

Damn it!

While trying to think of a great comeback . . . I nearly seized. As what had once been a hand was replaced by something a lot more inviting.

Damn that woman.

Damn that tongue!

I shuddered.

“You okay?” Reid got closer to the bed. “You look a little sick.”

“Stop!” I gasped. Holy shit, I didn’t know my name. What was my name?

Reid, most likely sensing my distress, chose that moment to sit, yes, SIT on my bed. The same bed that I planned to purchase and send home and put in the middle of my living room and stare at. I would refer to it as the miracle bed. Because what was taking place? Miracle.

I clenched the sheets in my hand and swallowed as sweat trickled down my face, “No, man, hell.” I trembled. “I’m just . . .” Breathing ragged, I licked my lips. “Not feeling, right . . . shit, right there.”

“What?” Reid’s concern quickly turned to suspicion.

“Er . . .” I shook my head. “I’m going to puke!”

Reid jolted off the bed. “Dude, you know how I feel about puke!”

“Then”—oh look, heaven!—“go away!” I clenched my teeth together, snapping them as my entire body went rigid.

“Fine!” Reid held up his hands. “Just don’t forget about your confessional.”

The door slammed behind him at the exact same time I saw a billion stars give birth to tiny planets. It was also the same time that I saw the secrets to the universe and waved at a unicorn as it floated by me.

I lifted up the sheet. Becca looked at me innocently, then shrugged.

“Can I keep you?” I asked.

“That depends . . .”

“I’ll sell Reid.”

“You don’t have to sell Reid.”

“Really, I don’t mind. He can go live in Alaska for all I care, just tell me I can keep you. I want to freaking wrap you up, put you in my pocket, and never let go. Don’t make me beg.”

“Yeah.” Becca laughed. “You can keep me, but we may have to do something about the goat.”

Hades stomped and then promptly peed on Becca’s dress.

“So naked art, huh?” She winked.

The Consequence of Loving Colton

56ed8-colton

It’s all fun and games…until someone’s heart is broken.

They’re not kids anymore, but Milo Caro is certain that Colton Mathews will only see her as his best friend’s little sister for the rest of their lives. After all, he made that clear the night before she left for college. But four years later, her brother is getting married and Colt’s the best man—and guess who is the best man’s last-minute date?

Milo vows to use the wedding to either claim the smoldering firefighter’s heart or douse this torch for good. When Max—her best friend from college, who may be carrying a torch of his own—crashes the party, they devise a plan to make Colt see what he’s missing. But after Colt catches on, he decides to cook up his own revenge.

Synopsis

Myah
My life literally changed in the blink of an eye. I was happy, I was whole… and then my father died. Since then I haven’t been the same. I’ve been battling inner demons as well as the ones on the outside–my mother the evilest of them all. It’s time to take control of my life and Kyle Cooper makes me believe that I can.

Kyle
I’ve been half in love with Myah Wilks for as long as I can remember. She’s short and sassy–or she was until tragedy struck. Changes in her life left an opening for me, the one I’ve been waiting for and I’m jumping–with both feet. This amazing girl has more fight in her pinky than most people do in their whole body… she just needs to be reminded. She also needs to purge those demons and let her secrets go. Maybe, just maybe, she’ll let me in and trust me with her whispered truths.

Excerpt

Myah

I don’t move as he touches his index finger to the tip of my nose just as the bell rings.

He grabs his notebook and stands up, his eyes still looking into mine. Then I watch in slow motion as his body leans forward and he presses his lips to my forehead. “I’ll see you after practice, pretty girl.”

Somehow I manage a nod with my mouth undoubtedly hanging open.

I sit mute for a few seconds then ask no one in particular, “Did Kyle Cooper just kiss me?”

Multiple voices answer with a definitive “Yes”.

Holy hell.

Aaron stands behind me, squeezes my shoulder, and whispers, “Nice, Wilks.”

Lisa nods and utters only one word softly, so softly it’s as if she’d witnessed something amazing… “Wow.”

“Yeah, wow.”

Meghan March – Beneath These Chains

June 16th 

About Beneath These Chains

I was raised on the streets, so I know things are rarely as simple as they appear—especially this rich girl showing up at my pawnshop demanding a job.

She’s the most tempting thing I’ve ever seen, and I’ll be damned if I can make her leave.

Shit just got complicated … but when it comes to her—I want complicated.

We’re both fighting our own demons, and our only chance at a future is to let go of the past.

But will we be strong enough to break free from beneath these chains?

SNEAK PEEK:

“I’m calling a time out,” I said.

“This is the game of life, sweet thing. No time outs until you’re done breathing.” And with that, he spun me and tugged my body against his. My hands pressed flat against rock hard slabs of muscle. “And besides, a time out means I don’t get to kiss you, and I haven’t done nearly enough of that yet.”

COVER REVEAL: Flash Point by Brooke Blaine

Flash Point EBOOK FOR WEB

Novel: Flash Point

Author: Brooke Blaine

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: July 12, 2015

Cover Design: © By Hang Le

Goodreads Link: http://bit.ly/1FZIi4f

~Flash Point is a standalone novel~

Flash Point Blurb

flashpoint || (also flash point)

noun

1 a place, event, or time at which trouble, such as violence or anger, flares up: the flashpoint of the conflagration is just blocks away.

2 Chemistry the temperature at which a particular organic compound gives off sufficient vapor to ignite in air.

The first time I saw her, I knew I’d have to kill her.

It’s been five years since the brutal death of her mother, and Katherine Shaw still relives the nightmares of that night.

She escaped.

The danger should’ve been over.

She couldn’t have been more wrong.

When her father, a prominent judge, receives a chilling death threat, her past comes hurtling into her present.

The warning is clear: They’ve got unfinished business, and they’re coming for her.

Katherine Shaw.

Rich girl? Check.

Spoiled and obstinate? Check.

A beautiful fireball who pushes every button he has? That was not listed on the dossier Jason Garrett receives when he’s assigned as one of her bodyguards. The last thing he ever expected was that his tempting client would prove to be more dangerous than those he’s protecting her from.

Their attraction would be forbidden even under the best circumstances. But as the threat draws near, the tension between the two of them rises, culminating in an explosive flash point that will blindside them both.

Flash-Point-PRINT FOR WEB

About Brooke Blaine

You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.

Flash Point is her debut solo novel, and she is the co-author of the erotic serial, A Desperate Man, with Ella Frank. The latter has scarred her conservative southern family for life, bless their hearts.

If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find – just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.
