PROLOGUE

February 12th 2014

I look down at Cory and feel nothing; no joy at breaking him, no happiness at succeeding, and certainly no sadness over lost love. I don’t really remember feelings nowadays. Love isn’t real. It hurts people. It’s a word used too often without meaning. I have no time for love. I am empty. A single vessel floating around a universe of nothing. I have no reason to feel anymore. No real reason. The weeping man before me brings no emotions out in me. They never do, they’re just collateral damage.
They’re all the same – easy to please, easy to hurt, full of broken promises. The world would be better off without men in it. I didn’t need to ruin Cory.  I was ready when I left Scott. Cory just happened to catch my eye at the right time. Or wrong time, depending on how you look at it. I want to laugh at his pathetic display of weakness. Crying over a break up? Disgusting. Love sucks,get over it already!
“You’re weak. Nothing but a pathetic piece of shit.” I snarl. 
“I don’t understand. Why?
What’s changed since this morning?” his eyes plead with me. This is the part I like. Seeing how far I can push them. “Baby, I love you.”
“You think you love me after three months?” I laugh and shake my head. “You were easy.”
“I do. You know I do. You feel the same, you said you loved me. Why did you fuck him?”
I can see the doubt set in as he looks up at me. I smile. Stupid man.
“I’ve never loved you. It was all a game. You were a game.” He sucks in a shocked gasp. “I saw you the night before in the bar. You’d cheated on your girlfriend, but you were still trying to make her feel bad for your actions. After you got caught. Like it was her fault your dick slipped into the redhead. I had to have you then.”
I walk to him and crouch down so we’re eye level. “It took one flash of leg to get your attention. One smile to get a drink. Three days for you to say you were sorry for the first time. By day eight you told me you loved me.” I tilt my head to the side to look at the poor excuse of a man I’ve been shacked up with for the past three months.
“Why are you doing this?” he cries as his head drops forward, shoulders hutched over in defeat.
“Because I can.” I snap.

“You tried to manipulate a vulnerable woman. You used love to hurt her. I
couldn’t let you get away with that, you needed to feel the pain you caused
your ex.”
“So this has all been revenge for Carol?” Cory asks in an incredulous voice.
“No. I’ve never spoken to Carol before. This was about more than just your ex, Cory. It was about the man you are. What you represent. I knew on day five that you would be the easiest.  A few words in your ear and you believed my words over a fourteen year friendship. Never put hoes before bros, it’s a known fact. That friendship took twelve days to break. Twelve days as opposed to fourteen years?” I laugh at his stupidity, shaking my head. “Pathetic.”
“Tony didn’t?”
“Tony certainly did. Just not the way I told you.” I’m ready to leave. I stand and move to collect my bag from the kitchen table. “I never needed anything from you. I don’t need anything from anyone.  All that money you’ve given me, I didn’t need any of it. I just needed to see how hard you would try to keep me.”
“Why?” realisation is finally sinking in. He sounds broken. 
“Why? Why? Because I lost everything. All because of a man like you.” I shout at him before calming my voice. “Your dad never touched me, you know?” a sob tears from his throat, raw pain. “Sure, he grabbed my arm and made those marks but only after I told him I was using you. Good thing mummy dearest believed him.”
“You bitch.” he cries,looking torn up. Yes, he’s too broken to even stand up to me. I walk to stand in front of him.
“I am a bitch. I don’t feel. I don’t love. I hate. I only hate. I hate you.” I grab a hand full of his brown hair, squeezing it into a fist then pulling his head back so he’s looking at me. “I would say it’s been fun but you’re the same as the rest of them. A
lying, cheating, lousy lay. Have fun trying to build bridges.” I push away from him, stride to the door, and exit, leaving it to slam behind me.
I smile as the cold, February air stings my face. The winter sun is shining bright. It’s deceiving. Like me, beauty surrounded by nothing but bitterness.
It takes nothing but a smile to lure men in.
I use them.
I manipulate them.
I break them.
That’s the best part, leaving them broken with nothing and no one left. I had everything taken away from me because of one man. The Demon.
Damon Hunt. 
Damon is a hunter.
He preys on innocent women. He breaks them, tears them apart until they have nothing more left to give.
It’s time for the hunter to be hunted.

My good intentions always led to disaster. The cold hard truth is that I was never meant to be a father to Lily. Staying in Treepoint, Kentucky for a few weeks to get to know my daughter was meant to be a time of discovery, instead I find out that she’s married to a killer and living in a sex club. I’m going to find out how to destroy The Last Riders and give Lily the future she deserves.

a Rafflecopter giveaway

 

I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.

Taking after my mother, I’ve always love to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who both graduate this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.

Currently I am writing four series of books- The Last Riders, The Dark Souls, The VIP Room, and Biker Bitches series. My favorite book I have written is Soul Of A Woman, which I am hoping to release during the summer of 2014. It took me two years to write, during which I lost my mother, and brother. It’s a book that I truly feel captures the true depths of love a woman can hold for a man. In case you haven’t figured it out yet, I am an emotional writer who wants the readers to feel the emotion of the characters they are reading. Because of this, Teased is probably the hardest thing I have written.

All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best. In the near future I hope to take a weekend break and visit Vegas that will hopefully be this summer. Right now I am typing away on my next story and looking forward to traveling this summer!”

Tasty Book Tours Q&A with Jamie Begley

Author of New Release, KING

Author Q & A

~Jamie, thank you so much for taking the time to chat with one of your biggest fans (me, of course) about your New Release, KING (VIP Room #3). So, was KING originally planned to have his own book, or was it just an “Aha” moment?

“When I came up with the idea of the VIP series, I always intended to do a book on King.”

~Why Evie for his heroine?

“Because she my favorite woman Last Rider. She’s loyal to the men, and the men are to her. Yes, they share sex and enjoy it but it’s about more than that. They have each other’s back, they will always be there for each other.”

~KING definitely has some emotional moments, which was the hardest for you to write?

“The hardest moment was when she stepped in front of King when she was afraid he was going to be shot. In that moment she chose between The Last Riders and King.”

~Be honest, in a fist fight, who would win, King or Shade?

“Jeez put me on the spot here. Hmm…they are both dirty fighters but I think in a fight between them it would be a lose, lose situation. Any other character I have written about would lose to Shade, but King is just as deadly.”

~With KING, you have truly entwined the world of the VIP Room Series and The Last Riders Series. Do you plan to have any other cross-over books in the future?

“No, never. It was too hard, I had to keep all the books and storylines in my head at the same time while I was moving the stories forward. I didn’t even tell my editors because I wanted their honest reactions. It was more than worth it though when I did Tainted and it was revealed they were entwined.

~I know the biggest question all your fans want to know is WHO’S NEXT?

“Cash”

~Out of all of your Heroes, who had given you the most grief?

“Razor, but Cash is catching up.”

~Do you have a favorite character out of all of your series? Why are they your favorite?

“Knox. Because he was truly a good person who lost his true love. I cried when I wrote the graveyard scene. I wanted him to be happy finally and Diamond was the right woman for him.”

~Can you leave us with a Short Teaser from KING?

EXCERPT

“You think you can get her to betray her club?”

King didn’t say anything, giving his friend a confident smile.

“She might be able to resist your charms.”

“When has any woman turned me down? Plus, she’s a whore. She fucks all the men in The Last Riders and most of the women. Why would she turn me down?”

Henry didn’t say anything, taking the dirty dishes and moving the small table back against the wall.

“Henry?”

“I don’t think she’s going to be as easy to fool into ratting out her friends. All those reports you’ve been reading show how loyal they are to each other, so I don’t see her breaking so easily.”

“Did I say it was going to be easy? I think she’ll fight her attraction to me, but she’ll cave and tell me everything I need to know once I have her in my bed. I don’t know which I’m going to enjoy more: fucking her or getting Shade out of Lily’s life.”

 
Nero is the
king of Legacy Prep, living a life of power.
Elle is the school’s punching bag, living a life of fear.
The only good girls Nero knows jump in his bed when he tells them to.
The closest Elle has come to a bad boy like him is in the cafeteria line.
The mob boss gave him orders to find out what she knows.
Her mouth is sealed.

 

I just want to be a fucking made
man.
I’m just a fucking waitress.
 
 
 
Hey! My name is Sarah Brianne and after living for twenty-two years the characters in my head told me enough was enough and I have finally put pen to paper (or is it finger to keyboard?) to tell their stories. Since I was a little girl I have watched every chick flick I could get my hands on, then when I became older I discovered a whole new world of romance novels. To me there is nothing better then a tale of true love and those are the stories that have inspired me to write. Like everything else in my life I have put my own spin on two lovers destined to be together.
 
Next to my books my prized possession are my two beautiful fur babies, Kalypso and Khaleesi. I know what you’re thinking, do you pack them in your purse? Yep, right next to my kindle.

(Book 2 in the FRENCHED series)

by Melanie Harlow 

Expected release: September 2014

  Twenty-eight year old Coco Thomas knows the recipe for disaster:

1)      Agree to plan last-minute engagement blowout for spoiled Mafia princess before you realize her choice of caterer is Nick Lupo, a despicably gorgeous young chef with a hot new restaurant in town, a reality TV show victory, and a romantic past with you—one that did not end well.

2)      Strike a deal with Nick in which you agree to spend a weekend with him in exchange for his services, under the strict conditions there will be no talking about the past, no second chances, and definitely no sex.

3)      Violate all three conditions within 24 hours and spend two glorious days remembering what made you fall for the sexy, egotistical bastard in the first place, and why it hurt so much when he broke your heart.

Add one road trip, plenty of good scotch, and endless spoonfuls of chocolate cake batter drizzled over your body and licked off inch by oh-my-God-yes-right-there inch, then just admit it.

You’re totally FORKED.

 SYNOPSIS

Evie Jamieson, a former wild child, is not only a headstrong, smart-mouthed trouble magnet, she is also a lead singer with a plan. That plan involves relocating her band, including her two best friends guitarist Henry and band manager Mac, to Sydney to kick off their dreams of hitting the big time.

Jared Valentine is the older brother of Evie’s best friend Mac and also the man determined to make Evie his. They strike up a long distance friendship which suits Evie because she’s determined to avoid the distraction of love, not only because it doesn’t fit in with her plan but because twice in the past it has left her for dead. Moving to Sydney however, has put her directly in Jared’s path and he has decided it’s the perfect opportunity to make his play.

Unfortunately Jared, co-owner in a business that ‘consults’ in dangerous hostage and kidnapping situations, makes an enemy who’s determined to enact revenge. When this enemy puts Evie in his sights, Jared not only has a fight on his hands to make her his own, but also to keep her alive.

Is accepting the love he’s so desperate to give worth the risk to both her heart…and her life?

Burned

Adult Erotic Romance

Amazon | Barnes and Noble

Trainer and martial artist Rosie Miller’s zen is seriously compromised when Hunter Black—her former coach and lover—becomes her new boss. With all the sexual energy still crackling between them, her poor little zen doesn’t stand a chance. So this time, Rosie is determined to do more than put up self-defense. She and Hunter are going to play by her rules….

5 Star Read

 Kelley’s Review

Burned is a sinfully sexy novella that will have you fanning yourself. The chemistry between Rosie and Hunter is scorching.

It had been five miserable years since Hunter left Rosie.  She was head over heels in love with him and cried every night for six months after he left.  But time goes on and supposedly heals all wounds.  That is, until Hunter just happens to show back up in town just as Rosie is getting dumped.  Great timing.  Not only that but Hunter is now Rosie’s boss.  He bought out the gym that she works at.  As the two of them are thrown into close quarters sparks begin to fly and the sexual tension becomes so strong that neither one of them can stand it.  If they act on their desires will it be a one time fling or do they have something real that can last forever?

I really enjoyed this novella.  Sarah does a great job with character development and you cant help but fall in love with Hunter and Rosie.  They both have history that they never shared with one another.  I enjoyed seeing them find each other again for the first time.  I am looking forward to reading more novels from Sarah Morgan.

Kelley’s Review

Holy Hotness!  Caite Fox is a strong and sexy alpha female unlike any I have ever seen.

This was my first Domina story and I loved it!

Caite Fox is good at what she does and when her supervisor becomes ill during her third trimester it is time for Caite to step up to the plate.  The only thing stopping her from getting a home run is the big boss Jamison Wolfe.  He is constantly yelling at everyone in the office and on the phone.  He stays stressed out and assumes that his staff is truly unable to live up to his expectations.

Caite has had enough of Jamison’s crap. He makes a snarky comment about Caite’s work ethic and she lets him have it.  Caite decides its time to cross the line and get Jamison to let go of his anger, stress, and anxiety.  She does not want to lose her job but she knows its a matter of time before Jamison lets her go anyway so she takes a chance. She orders Jamison to give her pleasure and he does with getting nothing in return.  When Caite truly takes control and Jamison is put into an awkward situation will he run from her or stick it out?

This story was smoking hot.  It was awesome to watch Caite dominate Jamison.  In the beginning it was very subtle and then got more and more obvious.  This was my first Megan Hart read and I really enjoyed it.  Caite is an amazing heroine and Jamison is an amazing lover and companion.

I really enjoyed this Cosmo Red-Hot Reads by Harlequin.  It is a great way to read new authors and get a taste for their writing style without committing to a full novel.  I enjoyed both these novellas and am looking forward to reading more books from Sara Morgan and Megan Hart.

Tempting The Ringmaster by Aleah Barley 4-Star Review

tempting the ringmaster

Synopsis

Welcome to Buck Falls, Michigan, where the gossip is fresh, the people are feisty, and the circus has pulled in for a limited engagement.

The last thing police chief Graham Tyler needs is a ragtag bunch of circus freaks rolling into town.

Then he meets sassy, spirited, ringmaster Belle-Anne Black.

Belle-Anne’s got a rule against dating townies, and she’s not about to break it… even for the spicy hot lawman who makes her insides sizzle. Then Graham makes her an offer she can’t refuse: one night only, no repeat performances.

Of course, in the circus nothing ever goes exactly to plan.

Tracey’s Review

When I had the chance to read ‘Tempting the Ringmaster,’ I was not sure what to think. The idea of a contemporary romance about a circus ringmaster, well, it was intriguing. But would it work? Would it draw me in, or just be too darned outlandish to appeal to the average reader (me)?

Aleah Barley has done a great job with this book. The characters are engaging and unique, and the story was just different enough to really hook me. I was totally invested in the circus troupe, and the citizens of Buck Falls were great. From the beginning, the chemistry between Belle and Graham was sizzling, and, even though they couldn’t have been more different from each other, the possibility of them falling for each other was completely believable. After all, all Belle has ever wanted is a man that will love her for herself, not looking down on her because she is with the circus. And to Graham, having had to prove himself as a solid dependable guy just as worthy of respect as his brother, Belle is like a breath of fresh air, an exotic arrival in his otherwise ‘normal’ life.

There is a bit of insta-love that takes place, given the short time frame of the events, but it didn’t take away from the story. I found myself thoroughly engrossed in seeing how things would unfold for Graham, Belle, and the rest of the Black Shadow Circus crew, and the twist of intrigue that was presented made the read even more interesting. A very satisfying 4-stars, and I look forward to more books by Aleah Barley.

Aleah Barley Bio:

When the sinfully handsome Clay Nichols walks into her bar in San Francisco, Julia Bell simply wants a break from the troubles that keep chasing her. They share one scorchingly hot night together, but discover a connection that runs deeper than mere chemistry….

NIGHT AFTER NIGHT

Their world was sex, love, and lies.

With a dirty mind and a mouth to match, Clay Nichols is everything Julia never knew she wanted and exactly what she cannot have. He walked into her life one night and unlocked pleasure in her that she never knew was possible. Possessing her body, captivating her every thought. Which makes him way too dangerous for Julia to risk her heart, given that she has a price tag on her head. She ran after one mind-blowing week with him, but now he’s back, and determined to make her his own.

She was a sexy drug to him. Fiery, unforgettable, and never enough, Julia is an enigma, and Clay isn’t willing to let her go without a fight. Can two people burned by love trust again when desire and passion are met by danger at every turn?

AFTER THIS NIGHT

Their world was passion, pleasure and secrets.

Far too many secrets. But Clay Nichols can’t get Julia Bell out of his mind. He’s so drawn to her, and to the nights they shared, that he can’t focus on work or business. Only her. And she’s pissing him off with her hot and cold act. She has her reasons though-she’s trying to stay one step ahead of the trouble that’s been chasing her for months now, thanks to the criminal world her ex dragged her into. When he runs into her again at her sister’s wedding, they have a second chance but she’ll have to let him all the way in. And they’ll learn just how much more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new future, after this night…

Are you ready for the Big Announcement??

ONE MORE NIGHT for june 29 reveal

ONE MORE NIGHT, the 4th title in Lauren Blakely’s The Seductive Nights Series, is coming JULY 8th! Here’s a little bit of information about ONE MORE NIGHT, as well as a note from Lauren herself!

ONE MORE NIGHT is the third full-length novel for Julia and Clay and follows the couple as they embark on a new adventure after their HEA in AFTER THIS NIGHT. This novel will release on July 8th and be available for preorder on iBooks Only beginning TODAY! However, the paperback will be available to preorder on Amazon shortly. While the book can be read as a standalone, readers will likely enjoy it more knowing the backstory of Clay and Julia from FIRST NIGHT, NIGHT AFTER THIS NIGHT, and AFTER THIS NIGHT. There is a new storyline for Julia and Clay that you are not going to want to miss, and there will be pearls! 😉 Finally, the recipe for Julia’s award-winning Purple Snow Globe drink is revealed in this book! The book will be priced at $2.99 across all retailers during the first few days of release and will go to $3.99 on Friday, July 11th.

A Note from Lauren Blakely about writing ONE MORE NIGHT:

“When I finished writing AFTER THIS NIGHT I thought Julia and Clay’s story was done. Mostly. As you know, Julia and Clay have a happy ending in that novel, but the possibilities for what’s next in their future are left open. I wanted readers to be thinking of Julia and Clay and happily picturing them in the next phase of their lives together. But Julia and Clay kept talking to me. They insisted they had more to tell — more adventure, more mystery, more danger. And many readers wanted more too, and they asked me for another book. They wanted to know what happens when Clay takes Julia to Vegas for the weekend. So even though the first phase of their relationship wraps up neatly in AFTER THIS NIGHT, these two lovers shift into a new chapter in their lives in ONE MORE NIGHT. But this novel is not just an extended epilogue, it’s not just a sneak peek into their future, and it’s not just more sex (though there is plenty of that). Julia and Clay exist because of the trouble they attract in their lives. Because of conflicts. Because of challenges. They have a new story to tell because they face more danger in their lives. Julia and Clay don’t just fly to Vegas and play poker. They fly to Vegas and a new adventure begins with new troubles they must face and overcome together. So kick back, grab a Purple Snow Globe, and get ready for a bumpy, naughty, dirty, thrilling ride.”

Title: Hidden Treasure

Series: Billionaire Bachelors #9

Summary

The second book in the Lost Anderson series is here, and it comes to you with a kicking and screaming heiress.

Brielle Storm inherits a dilapidated ranch in the wilds of Montana and she isn’t happy about her situation in the least. She may be moving to her new home, and she may be planning on doing whatever it takes to make her billionaire father happy, but she certainly won’t be doing it with a smile on her face.

No. Brielle plans on coming to Montana, hiring some ranch hand to do all the work, and then getting out of there before the first winter snow has a chance to hit.

Montana isn’t a state that offers predictable weather and Brielle is going to find out that the land isn’t the only thing she has to fear.

When her hotter than any city boy ever dreams of being, cowboy neighbor shows up on her doorstep, Brielle decides that maybe Montana isn’t so bad after-all.

That is until he laughs openly at her city girl ways. Then, she has something to prove…

5 Star Read

 Kelley’s Review

I truly adored this story.  Melody Anne wrangled me in from the very start.  She writes characters full of spunk and charm that just melt your heartstrings.  Hidden Treasure is a beautifully sassy and fun love story that will have you laughing one moment and you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next.

Poor Brielle drew the short stick.  She tried to live without her father’s money and fell flat on her rear.  Her father had decided to teach her and her brothers a lesson and cut off their inheritance and gave them the pick of five failing businesses to run.  Well Brielle was having none of that so she walked out and managed to survive for a year without Daddy’s help until the place where she was working got shut down.  She was so broke by the time she contacted her Dad all she had was enough money for bus fare.  Since she walked out when the business opportunities were passed out all she got to chose from was what was left.  What was left was a dilapidated Montana Ranch.  Lets just say that stilettos and manure don’t mix really well.

The first bit of trouble that Brielle runs into is a solid hunk of man named Colt Westbrook.  Talk about holy hotness.  Colt is in the running for 2014 book boyfriend status.  He is a man’s man with the abs and arms that let you know that the man knows how to put in a hard days work.  Colt was really disappointed when Richard Storm swooped in and bought that property for one of his kids to fix up and when he meets Brielle he thinks he has her figured out and starts counting the days until she gives up and just sells him her ranch.  The one thing Colt did not know is that you can never underestimate the Storms.  Brielle may have been a pampered and spoiled brat but she will do anything it takes to make her father proud and to prove to everyone that she is more than what she appears to be.

I loved the push and pull between Colt and Brielle.  He was hooked on her like a fish to a pole.  She lit a fire inside of him that drove him crazy.  The only problem is that Brielle begins to trust Colt and let him in a little bit like no one before.  She automatically assumed when she ran into Colt that he worked for her.  That is very far from the truth and Colt does not seem in any hurry to correct her assumption.  The problem is what will she do when she finds out her trusted ranch hand is actually her very wealthy neighbor.

I am very excited and looking forward to the next book in this series.  It is so nice to see the Anderson and Storm elders meddling again in the lives of their kids.  A job well done Melody Anne.  I loved it.

Excerpt

“I hate it here!” she shrieked, feeling like a fool but not caring. She hadn’t been at the ranch for five minutes and already her world was crumbling. “Spiders, cobwebs, rocks, dirt, grime, and who knows what else! Lions and tigers and bears…”

Her angry tears soon stopped, but Brielle was still in a foul mood as she sat there trying to breathe normally. After a few moments, she pulled herself together. Wasn’t she better than this? When she heard the crunch of footsteps behind her, she grimaced, not wanting to deal with anyone or anything else right then.

Whipping her head around, she got ready to tell whoever it was to go away when her tongue got stuck on the roof of her mouth. When the person who’d invaded her privacy spoke, she felt even more disoriented.

“May I help you?”

Brielle couldn’t seem to find her voice. Since she was still sitting on the ground, the man standing before her was so tall, he seemed to block out the sun. His boots looked old, his jeans dusty — like that truck — and the shirt plastered to his chest had seen better days. Brielle tilted her neck all the way back to examine his face, which was shadowed by the brim of his faded cowboy hat.

“Are you real?” she asked.

When his lips tilted up in a sardonic smile, she thought for a moment that she might be fantasizing. No, not likely. Where she was from, girls never fantasized about cowboys — she preferred a man in a suit. Still, she had to admit, if only to herself, that the guy towering over her was one hell of a hot piece of man candy.

And then he spoke again. “You must be Brielle Storm. I’m Colt Westbrook.”
