My Skylar by Penelope Ward *5-Star Review*
Synopsis
From the author of the #1 bestselling romance, Jake Undone, comes a friends-to-lovers story of longing, passion, betrayal and redemption…with a twist that will rip your heart out.
Skylar was my best friend, but I secretly pined for her. One thing after another kept us apart, and I’ve spent the last decade in fear of losing her forever.
First, it was the cancer, but she survived only to face the unthinkable at my hands. Because of me, she left town. For years, I thought I’d never see her again.
But now she’s back…and living with him.
I don’t deserve her after everything I’ve put her through, but I can’t live without her. This is my last chance because she’s about to make the biggest mistake of her life. I can see it her eyes: she doesn’t love him. She still loves me…which is why I have to stop her before it’s too late.
My Skylar is a STANDALONE story of 99,000 words and a companion to the novel, Jake Undone. It does NOT need to be read in conjunction with any other book.
Tracey’s Review
It began as a chance meeting, a hand extended in friendship. Two people coming together in the most innocent of ways. It would turn into a love story, spanning years, that could not be denied.
Skylar and Mitch met one summer day when they were just children, when she stepped into his life and decided to make him smile. Although they were together for just two months, they became everything to each other, filling spaces and mending hearts. When Mitch had to leave to return home, Skylar was heartbroken at losing her best friend, but Mitch promised her that their story was ‘To Be Continued.’ After not seeing each other for five years, Mitch and Skylar were reunited, and their friendship picked right back up as if no time had passed at all. Even faced with a growing attraction to each other, they tried to keep themselves strictly friend-zoned, but they finally decided to face the fact that they were meant to be. When tragedy strikes, more than once, their love is tested, and decisions are made that truly test them.
Oh, my goodness, I absolutely loved this book. My heart broke over and over for Skylar and Mitch throughout this story. I mean, they just could not catch a break! First they ‘find’ each other as kids, then are separated for five years. Then, life brought them back together for a while, and just when things seemed to be falling into place for them, oh, my gosh, the heartache. And so it continued for years.
Let me just say that Mitch,oh, my goodness, I want a Mitch. He was absolutely WONDERFUL. He changed from a boy to a loving, steadfast, and oh, yes, HOT man. And all that he wanted was to be with Skylar, to be her rock and to love her. And, Skylar, sweet Skylar, she loved Mitch so much. I truly wanted to throw my ereader a few times, because it was just one thing after another that seemed to point to the end for these two.
Penelope Ward has done a fantastic job with ‘My Skylar,’ writing a book that I absolutely could not put down. I read it in one day, determined to keep going to the end. I loved all of the characters (well, except Charisma), and the story, with all it’s twists and turns, well, it was just fantastic. Absolutely a big FIVE stars for this one; grab it up and read it NOW.

Teaser
Understanding and something more turned his expression warm and soft. “It’s new to me too,” he admitted. “You’re my kitten,” he said, his voice gruff.
Unsure of how to interpret that, I tilted my head, looking up at him.
A knowing smile lifted his mouth into a disarming, sexy grin. “You’re brave one minute, skittish the next. You need to be gentled, to learn that the hand that’s stroking you can be trusted.”
As he spoke, his thumb glided over my neck, pausing at my rapidly beating pulse. “I can’t change what or who came before you, but I can tell you that you’re different. For me, to me. I don’t understand why, I just know. And if you give me the chance, I’ll prove it.” He continued to glide his thumb back and forth against my skin, gentling me, as he’d said.
My eyes fluttered closed. “I’ve never had anyone in my life I could truly trust.” The people I was supposed to trust betrayed me, and the one I’d chosen had done the same.
“Well, now you do.” His hand traveled upward, until he brushed my jaw, then my lips, with his thumb.
Darned if I didn’t fall right back into that soft, easy spot he’d taken me to before. Feeling brave, I licked, then nipped at his finger.
He groaned and smoothed my own moisture over my lips. “Give me a chance,” he said in a gruff voice that made me tingle.

Better When He’s Bad by Jay Crownover 5-Star Review
Better When He’s Bad
Jay Crownover
Welcome To The Point Series-Book 1
June 17, 2014
Synopsis
New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Jay Crownover returns with a heart-stopping new series… Welcome to the Point.
There’s a difference between a bad boy and a boy who’s bad . . . meet Shane Baxter.
Sexy, dark, and dangerous, Bax isn’t just from the wrong side of the tracks, he is the wrong side of the tracks. A criminal, a thug, and a brawler, he’s the master of bad choices, until one such choice landed him in prison for five years. Now Bax is out and looking for answers, and he doesn’t care what he has to do or who he has to hurt to get them. But there’s a new player in the game, and she’s much too innocent, much too soft…and standing directly in his way.
Dovie Pryce knows all about living a hard life and the tough choices that come with it. She’s always tried to be good, tried to help others, and tried not to let the darkness pull her down. But the streets are fighting back, things have gone from bad to worse, and the only person who can help her is the scariest, sexiest, most complicated ex-con The Point has ever produced.
Bax terrifies her, awakening feelings she never thought she’d have for a guy like him. But it doesn’t take Dovie long to realize . . . some boys are just better when they’re bad.
Michel’s Review
Better When He’s Bad is the outstanding debut book in the new series Welcome To The Point by Jay Crownover.
Jay Crownover is known for her bad boys. The Marked Men series has captured the reader’s hearts. She has taken her bad boys to a whole new level in the Welcome To The Point. These are men are the true definition of bad. They live on the edge in a very dangerous world. Their lives are lived on the wrong side of the law. Their world is cut throat, violent, and unforgiving. They make no apologies for their chosen path, they embrace the violent world, and stand tall in world where only the baddest survive. They do not want to change their lives. They will not change their lives. One can only hope they are on the right side of their lives, other wise you are just another bug to be squashed.
Welcome To The Point. Shane Baxter has lived in The Point all his life. He has embraced the violent world and learned to survive. He is a thief, a convicted felon, and a man with a vendetta. He is deeply connected to the criminal underworld and has paid a high price for that connection. He has spent the last five years in prison. He was set up and did the time. Now he’s out and he wants answers. He’s willing to take down any man that had a part in his incarceration, including his best friend.
On the day of his release, Shane is on a mission. First is to get laid, second is to find his best friend Race, third is to get answers and find out who turned him over to the cops, and finally to take down Novak, the ruling crime lord in the Point. What he didn’t count on was Dovey Pryce. She is the kind of woman Shane has avoided all his life. She is clean, pure, honest, and seemingly innocent. She is also his best friend Race’s illegitimate sister. Dovey is searching for Race as well. The two will have to team up to find Race before Novak, the cops, and the Point cash in their claims on his life.
Dovey and Bax will band together in a dangerous game. They will go up against some of the most evil players. Allies will be enemies. Enemies will be allies. The prize is Race. It seems Race has what each and everyone of them needs. He is the missing key to the Point.
Dovey and Bax will find there is a better prize in the end. They will accept their lives in the Point and make the most of what they have. The most important thing is that they have each other’s back.
Better When He’s Bad is more than a hot, steamy, and sensual romance. It is a gritty and edgy adventure that will leave the reader’s on the edge of their seats. It is fast paced and full of high octane action. The characters will capture the reader’s attention on the very first page and have them wanting more in the end.
This book is quite different from the Marked Men series. The characters are harder, violent, dangerous, and criminal. Jay does not try to redeem them or their lives. She gives an honest portrayal of their world and makes the story work. The villians will be hero’s and the hero’s will not get your typical happily ever after. The characters are not redeemed and do not change their lives in the name of love. They embrace their lives. There is good in every person and there is bad in every person. It is a matter of finding the perfect balance between the two and chosing a life that is better in their world. The title is perfect for this book….Better When He’s Bad.
Jay Crownover has wrote an outstanding book that will keep the reader’s captivated! I highly recommend this book and am looking forward to the next book in this series!

Wrecked by Emily Snow Pre-Order Blitz
Emily Snow’s new book WRECKED is releasing June 17th and here’s your chance to pre-order on Amazon now for $.99!
Two years ago, Evie’s sister died, leaving her lost. Existing without really living. Coping the only way she knew how: by wrecking things.
Last year, Evie exposed her dad’s affairs, finished ripping apart her relationship with her longtime boyfriend, and completely ruined her music scholarship.
But today, she’s reinventing herself at her new university. Desperate to break away from all the destruction she’s caused, Evie’s ready to start over. For her sister, who never even had a chance. And for herself.
Then Rhys, her new voice instructor, happens.
He’s gorgeous and insanely talented, but he’s also a part of the dark past Evie is trying to overcome. Rhys’s brother is the reason why her life went up in flames, the reason why Lily, Evie’s sister, is dead. But even though Rhys is the last person Evie should ever want, for the first time in two years, wrecking things seems…right.
*WRECKED is a standalone novel and is not a part of a series*
I will lose with Rhys Delane.
I will lose the challenge I made myself at the start of this year, and I’ll lose my head, my heart. He’s changed everything. Turned my life upside down in a handful of months.
I don’t know how or why or when I let this happen.
Out the corner of my eye, I see him turn his head to look over at me. “Give me more of you, Evelyn,” he says in a voice that sets my body on fire, a complicated medley of irritation, defiance, and a need that’s bittersweet and painful. Rhys isn’t asking for more. He’s demanding it.
My lips part slightly, but I stop myself before I say something I’ll regret, like I always do when we’re together like this. I pull in a short breath, then a few more. Finally, I meet those unnerving blue-green eyes, letting everything else fade from existence. Agnes Obel’s ethereal, haunting voice, the sound of the rain splattering against the windows, and the monotony of the windshield wipers flinging the storm away—I hear none of that when he’s staring at me like I owe him something.
He wants things I absolutely cannot give.
“You’ve already slept with me.” My voice is purposely void of any emotion, and although his face remains calm, I know I’ve managed to cut him. It’s obvious by how quickly his eyes turn cold. “You have enough.”
And he really does. Because now that I think about it—and even though he’s yet to realize it—I’ve already lost with Rhys Delane. It just took me this long to figure that out.
Emily Snow is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the erotic romance series Devoured, which includes Devoured, All Over You, and Consumed, as well as the new adult novel Tidal. She loves books, sexy bad boys, and really loud rock music, so naturally, she writes stories about all three.

She’s funny, and kind, and she just wants that deep, earth-shattering love like her dad has with her school secretary, Holly. But Cheyenne’s been looking in the wrong direction, because the only good that can come from the way she looks at Jeremy Whelan is a lesson in heartbreak.
Jeremy always wanted to prospect for the Forsaken Motorcycle Club and wear the same patch as his father. When a life-long dream becomes reality, Jeremy realizes that the outlaw lifestyle is not for the faint of heart. Nor is it easy on relationships. He wants to be a good man, but temptation is everywhere.
Cheyenne is beautiful, and strong, and exactly what Jeremy could have forever. As long as he doesn’t screw it up.
Love is never more powerful than the first time.

Death comes in Armani. Salvation comes in leather.
Principessa to the Mancuso crime family, Alexandra knows a thing or two about living outside the bounds of the law. Suffocated by the future her father has laid out for her, she makes a choice she can’t take back, changing the entire trajectory of her life.
Thrust into the dark and dangerous world of the Forsaken Motorcycle Club for her own protection, Alex finds herself faced with the last thing she needs right now: the man of her dreams. He’s sex in leather, the devil incarnate, and one hell of a kisser. But he’s also off-limits. Ryan Stone can be her friend, but he’s forbidden to be her lover.
Third-generation Forsaken, Ryan knows nothing other than life on two wheels, and he wouldn’t have it any other way. He enjoys the many privileges that come with the patch, and the only laws he recognizes are the ones set-forth by his club. That is, until who he wants more than anything isn’t allowed on the back of his bike —or in his bed. Balancing his desire for her body, and need to keep her safe, Ryan tries to keep Alex at a distance. Finally having made a choice for herself, she’s done hearing the word “no” and will push boundaries even Ryan himself doesn’t dare cross.
Love is never more tempting than when it’s forbidden.
Loneliness suffocates the heart. Acceptance breaks down walls.
As a Lost Girl to the Forsaken Motorcycle Club, Nicole Whelan knows how to party. She’s not cut-out for relationships and her life is way too complicated for anything more than casual encounters. But one night when she falls into Duke’s bed at the clubhouse, he sees something in her that he can’t let go of—no matter how many times she tries to run.
Having been left to raise her teenage brother, Jeremy, she’s already got her hands full and isn’t looking for anymore complications. But Duke’s just watched his best friend fall for the only girl he couldn’t have, and then almost lose her so shortly after, shaking him to his core. Faced with his own loneliness, he’s more determined than ever to break down Nic’s walls and show her that he can be good for her; but he’s got a bad track record and she’s got a bad temper. Changing his ways isn’t easy when he’s not sure what he’s even changing for.
The violence and turmoil are at an all-time high, and Forsaken is in a vulnerable place when a twist of fate breathes new life into the club. It’s a much-needed beacon of hope for the embattled biker family, even if everyone’s not exactly on board. With Duke and Nic’s relationship already on shaky ground, and something even more important at stake, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club will fight like hell to keep their family together and whole.
Love is never more precious than when it’s new.
With the looming threat from the Mancuso Crime Family, the Forsaken Motorcycle Club is preparing for a war that could destroy them. Grady, the club’s Sergeant-at-Arms, knows that love makes you weak, and he has zero interest in adding to his liabilities– especially now. He’s already got his teenage daughter who keeps him on his toes and a beef within the club that could fracture his relationship with a fellow brother for good.
For Holly Mercer, her life is finally getting on track and the last thing she wants is trouble from her hometown’s resident outlaws. Keeping her nose clean is easier said than done, when suddenly she finds herself embroiled in club business. Holly might like the idea of being with a real-life bad boy, but even being in the same room with tough-as-nails Grady flusters her.
When Holly inadvertently finds herself on Mancuso’s radar, she has two choices: trust that Grady will protect her, or continue to refuse the club’s help. Both roads are dangerous, but only one has the chance to damage her beyond repair.
Love is never more dangerous than when it can destroy you.

Inside Out Series by Lisa Renee Jones Blog Tour + Reviews + *Giveaways*
If I Were You:
When Sara McMillan finds a stack of journals in a storage unit, she’s shocked and enthralled by the erotic life the writer led. Unable to stop reading, she vicariously lives out dark fantasies through Rebecca, the writer–until the terrifying final entry.
Certain something sinister has happened, Sara sets out to discover the facts, immersing herself in Rebecca’s life. Soon she’s working at the art gallery Rebecca worked at and meeting Rebecca’s friends. Finding herself drawn to two dangerously sexy men, the manager of the gallery and a famed artist, Sara realizes she’s going down the same path Rebecca took. But with the promise of her dark needs being met by a man with confident good looks and a desire for control, she’s not sure anything else matters. Just the burn for more.
Tracey’s Review
4 Stars
It all started with a journal. For Sara McMillan, finding journals belonging to the unknown Rebecca, opens up a whole new world. And once she starts down the path she’s discovered, there is no going back.
In ‘If I Were You,’the first book in the ‘Inside Out’ trilogy by Lisa Renee Jones, we meet Sara, a quiet school teacher that stumbles upon a bunch of journals that are being auctioned off with other items in a storage space belonging to a woman named Rebecca. The more that Sara reads of the journals, the more concerned she becomes with who Rebecca is, and what has happened to her. Determined to find answers, she sets out to retrace the steps that will lead her to Rebecca, and meets two men, Chris Merritt and Mark Compton, both strong and enigmatic men with ties to the missing woman. Exactly how they fit into Rebecca’s life, and, more importantly, her disappearance, is the question that Sara must unravel, as she finds herself becoming more deeply involved with both Chris and Mark.
I really enjoyed ‘If I Were You.’ I find that Lisa Renee Jones has done a great job weaving together a story that keeps the reader guessing as to what will come next. There are many secrets that are revealed, bit by bit, and they do not involve only Rebecca. Mark, Chris, and even Sara herself have hidden areas of their pasts, and finding out what makes each of these characters tick is extremely enjoyable. I look forward to reading Books 2 and 3 of this trilogy, ‘Being Me,’ and ‘Revealing Us,’ to find out how the rest of the story unfolds.
Being Me:
Sara McMillan is still searching for Rebecca, the mysterious woman whose dark, erotic journal entries both enthralled and frightened her. Tormented by a strong desire to indulge the demands of her new boss while also drawn deeper into her passionate bond with the troubled artist, Chris Merit, Sara must face a past as deeply haunting as Rebecca’s written words. In one man’s arms, Sara will find the safe haven to reveal her most intimate secrets and explore her darkest fantasies. But is safety just an illusion, when the truth about Rebecca has yet to be discovered?
Tracey’s Review
4 Stars
‘Being Me’ picks up immediately where ‘If I Were You’ left off. Sara, having taken Rebecca’s place as an employee at Mark Compton’s art gallery, is still anxious to find out where Rebecca has run off to. She has only Rebecca’s journals, and the details given by Mark and Chris Merritt, the two men that seem to know the most about Rebecca. Chris is also Sara’s lover, and both he and Mark have many dark secrets of their own, as well as a lot of animosity between them.
I felt like ‘If I Were You’ was a good story, and did a fantastic job of introducing us to the story and the characters. ‘Being Me’ is just as good, and the chemistry between Chris and Sara just keeps growing. The scenes between the two of them were hot! Chris is a VERY alpha man, and Sara is a woman who has been under the thumb of domineering men before, and who has vowed never to be owned by another man again. You can imagine that the sparks fly as they navigate their developing relationship.
Sexy stuff aside, Mark Compton is one hunk of hot alpha male himself. Answers to exactly how he fits into the whole story of Rebecca’s journals and her disappearance are revealed in this story, and, boy, will they leave you reeling. Let me just say that the action does not let up in this book.
I very much enjoyed this second installment in the ‘Inside Out’ series, and cannot wait to read ‘Revealing Us’ to find out how everything comes together.
Rebecca’s Journal—A Novella:
Kept under lock and key, discovered by chance, dangerous new secrets and scintillating adventures lie within Rebecca’s private diaries—searing scenes from a passionate journey inside a world where pain is pleasure, pleasure is pain, and where every limit she once had is no more.
The Master Undone—A Novella:
In her private journals, Rebecca laid bare her soul, revealing her obsession for the one man whose erotic demands captivated her imagination—and enslaved her forever. Now, with Rebecca no longer in his life, her former Master is lost—questioning everything he thought he knew about himself, and the control he holds in such high regard. One woman will reach out to heal him and then turn away, leaving him haunted. She is nothing he thought he wanted, and somehow everything he needs. He tells himself to forget her, but he cannot escape his desire for her. He has to have more…
Revealing Us:
You’ve discovered Rebecca’s secrets. You’ve discovered Sara’s secrets. Now Sara will discover “his” deepest, darkest secrets…but will those secrets bind them together–or tear them apart?
Tracey’s Review
So, we’ve finally discovered Rebecca’s secrets and Sara’s secrets, and found out the role that Mark Compton played in Rebecca’s life and disappearance. Phew! ‘Revealing Us,’ the third and final book in the ‘Inside Out’ trilogy, picks up right after all the action in ‘Being Me’ and continues with the story of Sara and Chris.
Having found out the mystery behind Rebecca’s disappearance, Chris and Sara leave San Francisco for Paris, the place that holds the key to all of the darkness that Chris continues to hide. But he has given Sara an ultimatum, ‘No in between,’ and so they are both committed to laying everything out in the open, even though they are not sure that their love will survive.
I just absolutely love Chris Merritt. He is that perfect combination of sexy alpha male and tender and considerate lover. You know that he’s hiding some heavy stuff, but you can’t help but pull for him and Sara to wade through his past and come out together on the other side. And finally, FINALLY, we get all of our answers here that have been playing out since the very first book. Except…yes, another cliffhanger, but not for Chris and Sara, thank goodness.
I absolutely enjoyed this whole series. Lisa Renee Jones has done an excellent job of laying everything out in such a way that I could not wait for each book so that I could pick up and find out what happened next. The epilogue in ‘Revealing Us’ does lead into a continuation of one of the sub-stories that ran throughout these three books, and I will definitely be ready for that story when it comes out. A great ending to a really good series, ‘Revealing Us’ gets five stars from me.

About the Author
Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.
When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.
She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

About BURN FOR ME:
A sexy category romance novella from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
She’s the one fire he can’t put out…
Jamie Lansing has had it bad for firefighter Smith Grayson for as long as they’ve been friends. Yes, he’s ridiculously charming and she might stare a little too long at his abs, but his dirty-talking, rough-around-the-edges ways aren’t for her. Plus, she knows that as a serial dater, Smith isn’t the type to settle down. But then a terrible, fantastic, mind-blowing mistake leaves her body craving more than one night.
Smith Grayson has only ever had eyes for one woman in town–his best friend Jamie. But convincing her a relationship between them will work is next to impossible with her refusing to see beyond his past. But when she asks for a week of no-strings-attached sex to get him out of her system, Smith knows this is his one chance to prove he’s not just the man she needs in her bed, but the man she needs in her life.
NOTE: 10% of all release week sales will be donated by the author to the National Volunteer Firefighter Support Fund.

Kelley’s Review
Grab yourself a cold drink ladies because this little novella is smoldering. I think I might need to catch something on fire so Smith can come over and put it out.
Burn For Me is an angsty love story filled with passion and hope for more. Jamie and Smith have always been good friends and even though she finds him sinfully sexy she is reluctant to act on those feelings. Why? Well because ever other woman in town feels the same way and how can she compete. She is also afraid of losing Smith as a friend. They have an easy banter and she looks forward to seeing him every day. If they were to become more than friends and he walked away it would crush her. What happens when Jamie gets this crazy idea in her head about a friends with benefits scenario that would only last one week. Could it work? Could she give into the attraction and get Smith out of her system? Maybe.
Smith is crushed that Jamie only wants him for one week. He has been waiting for the opportunity to become more than friends for quite a long time. His jaw drops to the floor when Jamie makes him this crazy offer. He knows he only has one week to show her he can and will be the only man she will ever need.
Lauren once again does an amazing job with character development and while this story is a novella it reads like a complete novel. She is a master at not rushing the ending and that is what I love about all of her books.
If you find a dirty talking fireman to be sexy as sin you will find yourself in lust with Burn For Me.
