Tracey’s Review

Oh.My.Gosh. Adriane Leigh. This cliffhangery ending stuff is killing me! BLINDSIGHT: PART TWO picks up right where the action in Part One (ALSO a cliffhanger, I might add!) ends. And, the ride, oh, the ride.

Some of the questions that arose in the first book are answered here, as we begin to see more of what makes up Hunter, the man of mystery that swept in and took Erin on the ride of her life in Book One.

This book is just as full of hot steamy scenes and growing feelings between Erin and Hunter, and more mystery is woven, as the action builds to pressure point before leaving me going, Nooooo!

Come on, Adriane, don’t keep us waiting. 4.5 action packed, steamy, oh, no, you didn’t stars for BLINDSIGHT: PART TWO. Grab it, read it, and hold on!

Happy Release Day + 5 Star Review… Love: Uncivilized by Sawyer Bennett – Civilized 1.5

512O+TUzskL._SX319_BO1,204,203,200_

Love: Uncivilized

Civilized 1.5

An Uncivilized Novella

By Sawyer Bennett

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

How did things ever get to be so difficult?

Nearly eight years of marriage.
Two kids.
Hectic careers and major life choices.

Throw in sexual frustration, doubts, insecurities and one wild man not completely tamed by society, and you have a Christmas that’s bound to get out of control.

Zacharias Easton will show you just how uncivilized love can be.

** Love: Uncivilized is a follow up novella to the book, Uncivilized. While it can be read as a stand alone, it is best appreciated after having read Uncivilized first.

5Star

Michel’s Review

Every time Sawyer Bennett releases a book I am devouring it.  Sawyer Bennett is my go to author.  When Love: Uncivilized was released I was excited to see two of my favorite all time characters after their “happily ever after”.

Zach and Moira are building their happily ever after and like most couples life has a way of getting in the way of their intimacy and passion.  Eight years and two kids later they have hit a bump in the road.  Their lives have become consumed with children, careers, and balancing a busy schedule.  It happens to all couples and it is reality. Zach and Moira struggle to find room for each other and keep their passion burning bright.  It’s hard work but these two find the sexiest solutions while keeping the home fires burning.

Sawyer Bennett did an excellent job portraying the frustrations, the emotions, the insecurities couples face in marriage.  Life isn’t always picture perfect, it’s how we choose to handle the bumps that matters most.  For Zach and Moira, their love for one another is strong enough to survive.

I highly recommend Love: Uncivilized by Sawyer Bennett.

Synopsis:

**Warning: This book is a wild, sexy beast of a read. 18+**

Putting a woman on her knees before me is what really makes my cock hard. I fuck with dominant force and absolute control. I demand complete surrender from my conquests.

Savage man, loner, warrior… I am dangerous at my core. I have lived amidst the untamed wild of the rainforest, in a society that reveres me and where every woman falls before me in subjugation.

Now I’ve been discovered. Forced to return to a world that I have forgotten about and to a culture that is only vaguely familiar to my senses.

Dr. Moira Reed is an anthropologist who has been hired to help me transition back into modern society. It’s her job to smooth away my rough edges… to teach me how to navigate properly through this new life of mine. She wants to tame me.

She’ll never win.

I am wild, free and raw, and the only thing I want from the beautiful Moira Reed is to fuck her into submission.

She wants it, I am certain. I will give it to her soon.

Yes, very soon, I will become the teacher and she will become my student. And when I am finished showing her body pleasure like no other, she’ll know what it feels like to be claimed by an uncivilized man.

Note:  This is a big, damn book and it is a stand alone, coming in at a whopping 109,000 words.

Cartel Series – Book 2

By Lili St. Germain

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

The second scorching novel in the USA Today bestselling Cartel trilogy from the smash-hit author Lili St Germain.

They say love conquers all.

It’s a lie.

Five days a week, I dressed in smart business clothes. I painted my face, and went to work as an accountant. But nothing about my life was normal.

For eight years I had been the property of the Gypsy Brothers Motorcycle Club. I laundered their money so well they’d never let me leave. My only glimmer of light was the man I loved. The man who had saved me.

Dornan.

His love had been the only thing that kept the demons at bay. But he’d become so immersed in the cartel’s brutal business that I hardly knew him anymore.

Dornan had been my salvation, but he was also my undoing.

Would he pull me down into the darkness until he destroyed me? Could I save him?

Did I even want to?

HER BEST SHOT, HER PERFECT GAME, HER WINNING FORMULA
Shannyn Schroeder
Releasing in Print December 15th
Exclusively at Books-a-Million

Her Best Shot
With college graduation looming, three childhood friends vow to make spring break their last blast of pure fun. But at least one of them didn’t count on such incredible heat…


Layla Sharpe is definitely more math ninja than bikini babe, and her future has been calculated with razor precision. Convinced to let loose over spring break, Layla is finally ready to party—until her car breaks down halfway to her destination, leaving her stranded in Georgia with a mouthwateringly hot pool shark. She knows more than enough about angles to learn the game, but this week she wants him to appreciate her curves…

Phin Marks has never met a girl like Layla. She’s more Star Wars geek than seductress, and when he offers her a place to stay while her car is in the shop, he’s counting on the attraction between them to set the nights ablaze, no strings attached. But every moment he spends with Layla makes it harder to let her go. Can he persuade her to gamble in the most dangerous way possible…on forever?

Her Perfect Game
Spring break is supposed to be a week of fun in the sun for three childhood friends about to graduate from college. But one of them is ready to get her game on somewhere else…

Charlie Castle is an expert archer and a fierce warrior—in her favorite video game, anyway. But college life was a program she couldn’t quite master. To land a cybertech job without a degree, she’s entering a “hackfest” over spring break—where she also hopes to meet the sweet gamer who’s been flirting with her online. Instead, she runs into the hot guy who walked away years ago, and can’t fight the desire that comes rushing back.

Jonah Best has never gotten over Charlie, whose kisses were always as deliciously creative as her coding. But now that they’re face to face again, he doesn’t know how to admit that her online admirer is really him—or how to convince her that he’s offering her a job for her incredible skills, not her sex appeal. Can Jonah cut through their communication glitches and persuade Charlie that the next level up for them should be forever?

Her Winning Formula
Spring break was supposed to be a last blast of fun for three friends before the reality of adulthood set in. But for the trio’s science whiz, it’s an education in instant attraction…

Chemistry major Felicity Stone can tell you everything about the way chemicals interact, but when it comes to social interaction, she needs schooling. Abandoned by her friends, Felicity is faced with spending spring break alone—unless she accepts a gorgeous stranger’s invitation to pose as his girlfriend at a family wedding. Not one to turn down a research opportunity, Felicity never expected it to produce such breathtaking results…

Teacher and baseball coach Lucas Tanner is fascinated by Felicity’s potent mix of spirit and scientist, not to mention her delicious curves. When Felicity asks him to return the favor by teaching her how to pick up guys, he can’t refuse—but he’s not at all happy with the idea of her using a formula for flirting on anyone but him. Can he convince her that together they have the perfect chemistry?

The Promise of Surrender

A MacKenzie Family Novella

By Liliana Hart

Buy: Amazon / Paperback

Synopsis

Mia Russo spent ten years working undercover, entrenched in the dregs of society before handing in her shield. Opening her own pawn shop is a piece of cake in comparison. All she needs is the bad attitude she developed on the streets and the shotgun under her counter to keep law and order. Until the day Zeke McBride walks into her shop.

Zeke knows Mia has every right not to trust him. He was the one who chose the next op instead of her. And all he can hope is that somewhere under the snarl and cynicism is a woman who can forgive. Because whether she trusts him or not, they’re going to have to work together to bring down the gang that’s decided Mia is their next target.

The Promise of Surrender - RDL - teaser 2

Excerpt

She had him pegged for a cop the second he stepped out of the beat-up pickup truck.
He opened the back of the cab and pulled out a cardboard box, maybe a foot long and wide. His worn sneakers scuffed against the graveled parking lot, and even through the surveillance cameras that covered every square inch of her property, she could see the outline of his backup weapon strapped to his ankle.
“Lord, save me from rookies.” Mia stopped processing her inventory to watch him out of curiosity. She’d spent the weekend at an estate sale and ended up with more boxes than she’d planned. That was usually how it went, but she had a knack for things that would sell for a profit.
The guy was tall and thin as a rail, his hair long and shaggy, and he had a partial growth of beard on his face. She could see why they’d want him for undercover work. He had the naturally too-thin build that made him able to pass for a junkie. He was just a baby, maybe a year or two out of the academy, and he had no idea the toll that working undercover would have on his life.
“Get out while you still can, boy.” She shook her head sadly.
There was no warning them—the rookies. They thought working undercover was like it was on TV—sexy and dangerous—living life on the edge between good and evil. And then six months into the job they realized it wasn’t so sexy, but it sure as hell was dangerous. They were lying to spouses and family and friends, living a double life, and they were doing things the soul would never be able to reconcile. All for the greater good.
His jeans and T-shirt looked like he’d gotten them straight from a thrift store and he wasn’t quite comfortable in them. He was used to being pressed and polished. A silver-spoon kid. He’d probably been a patrolman, used to the uniform, and the dead giveaway was the way he kept tapping his elbow against his side, checking for his duty weapon.
He walked like a cop. And his eyes scanned the area like a cop—like he was trying to see where his backup was located just in case he needed a rescue. Surely working undercover hadn’t changed that much in the last ten years. This guy was lucky to be alive if his commander was sending him out with that much green on him.
Mia wasn’t the most patient of people on her best days. And today wasn’t one of her best days.

Release Blitz: The Redemption of Roan by Kathy Coopmans

Title: The Redemption of Roan

Author: Kathy Coopmans

“Dance with me?”
 Her eyes glimmer. The most captivating smile spreads across her face. Taking her beer out of her hand, I set it down on the table next to me. I gently pull her into my arms. Her body presses firmly to mine. Her hands twine around my neck. God, she feels so good. It’s as if she was made to be here in my arms. We sway slowly. Clapton’s deep velvety voice is speaking the truth. She does look wonderful.
“You surprise me at every turn, Mr. Diamond.” Her breath is so close to my ear. I’ve never danced with a woman before. I have no clue what the hell I’m even doing. All I know is she spears my thoughts. I can’t stop thinking about her. I could easily become addicted to this euphoria as much as I’m already addicted to her well-being. I’m in way over my damned head. I know so much about her, yet I feel like there is so much more to learn. I’m turning into one of those fuck-puppets. She has me dangling on a damn string and doesn’t even fucking know it. Alina has the upper hand here without knowing much about me. I chastise myself mentally to move slowly, to learn about her more intimately. Not in a sexual way. She needs to know she can trust me. I wonder what’s going through her mind right now. My mind is screaming at me to find out things about her I don’t know, while my dick is trying to fight its way out of my pants. Yeah, well forget it, buddy. She will definitely be worth the wait.
“That’s the plan.” My voice is gruff.
 She squeals slightly when I dip her back, her long naked neck exposed. It’s my tongue this time that wants to reach out and run up her graceful neck. Lick her lazily, seductively. I rein him in. Keep my mouth shut. I bring her back up, spinning her slowly then bringing her back into me. I need to tie my dick up with my tongue, this way they’ll both shut the hell up.
“Are you a romantic?”
 Our mouths are not even an inch apart.
 “I’ve never had anyone to romance before.”
 I’m speaking the truth. My hand instinctively reaches up and caresses her cheek.
“You are astoundingly beautiful in every way a woman should be.”
The music keeps playing. It switched to a different song. I’m so caught up in her I couldn’t tell you the name of the song if my life depended on it. It’s slow and sensual, exactly the same way we are swaying back and forth. There’s no lead and follow between us. We’re two people attracted to each other.
 We’ve stopped moving. My hand is still stroking her cheek. Her eyes dart to my lips. My plan was to go slow with her. To not even kiss hertonight before I took her home. To let her know I respect her in every way.  But I can’t seem to help myself. My face leans in slowly, knowing I only get one first kiss with this woman. I could devour her with my mouth, clue her in and let her know specifically what she does to me. Instead, when my lips brush across her soft lips, a spark ignites in me. I’ve often wondered if the truth stands behind what happens when two electric currents collide. I feel it. The heat is slowly building up, then vaporizing in an extremely hot explosion.
 Darting my tongue out, I slowly glide it across her bottom lip. She exhales, opening wider, clinging her mouth to mine. My plan was to control this kiss, but she takes complete control, which shocks the shit out of me. I’ll let her for now. She shows no sign at all of her sweet innocence, her lack of experience. Those tantalizing plump lips feel better than I ever thought they would. She’s kissing me like she’s never been kissed before. Bringing my other hand up to hold her in place, I tilt her head to the perfect angle. Her tongue darts out first, slowly meshing with mine. I lose all control then, devouring her mouth with mine. Our tongues play war with one another, each one trying to demolish the other. Fuck me all the way back to Michigan. I am so totally screwed. Totally fucked.

5 Star Review: Dear Professor by Blaire Drake

51GDKalwG9L._SX331_BO1,204,203,200_

Dear Professore

By Blaire Drake

Buy: AmazonAmazon UK

Synopsis

Does it bother you that you’re ten years older than me?


Have you ever thought it’s wrong that you watched me fuck another guy on camera for months?

What do you want from me, really? All I wanted was my letter of recommendation, but now I’m stuck, aren’t I? Stuck under your thumb… And your body.

From cam girl to personal whore, and all by the age of twenty-one. You’ve got me good, haven’t you?

But guess what? I can play too. Grab the polish, because I’ve found your skeleton, and it’s time to dust.

I’ll see you in class.

Oh and, Sir? I’m not wearing any panties.

Love, Darcy

P.s. you’re an asshole.

(Dear Professor is a standalone novel with strong adult content. This is not your conventional student/teacher romance. These characters are real. They do stupid shit. You will probably want to stop reading… Don’t.)

5Star

Tracey’s Review

Dear Professor, well played, sir. Well played. Xoxo, Darcy.

Darcy Hamilton has a secret. Well, sort of. A Dalton Cam Girl, Darcy is paying her way through college by putting herself out there. As in, having sex in front of a camera. Professor Jordan Keaton has a secret, too. He knows what Darcy has been up to, because he’s been watching her, and he’s ready to up the ante in a very big way.

Those books that come out of nowhere, the ones with the blurb that totally draws you in and make you say, ‘Okay, now, I have got to read this book.’ Yeah, so DEAR PROFESSOR by Blaire Drake, it’s one of those books.

This book is all kinds of hot. I’m talking heat coming off the page, making a fan and extra undies a necessity kind of hot. But DEAR PROFESSOR is more than just a steamy read. It’s the story of two people that, against all expectations and odds, find that thing that brings them out of the ‘survivor’ mode that they’ve been operating in, and back to the realization that life goes on, and it can be better than they ever expected.

At first glance, neither Darcy nor Jordan seem particularly likable. She has no problem selling herself, and actually seems to take pleasure in what she’s doing. And Jordan, well, he’s a creep to the nth degree, finding nothing wrong with blackmailing Darcy into being his very own sex toy. But as the two forge a deal ensuring that Darcy gets what she wants from Jordan, which is a glowing letter of recommendation to ensure her acceptance to law school, and that he gets what he wants, which is no-holds-barred sex on demand, lines begin to blur. What begins as a forbidden relationship meant as a means to an end for the two of them evolves into an emotional journey of healing, as both Darcy and Jordan discover that by pushing each other to their limits, they are uncovering needs that neither of them anticipated.

I absolutely devoured DEAR PROFESSOR, and couldn’t turn the pages quickly enough. The heat, the sizzle, the constant back and forth drew me in, and the development of both Darcy and Jordan and their growth kept me reading straight through to the end. An added bonus is the quirky cast of characters that make up Darcy’s circle of friends, the whip smart dialogue, and the edginess that drives the characters and their story. I’m happy to give 5 stars to author Blaire Drake for a job well done, and DEAR PROFESSOR, a welcome addition to the teacher/student trope. This is one of my 2015 favorites, and one you will want to add to your TBR.
