Loving Cara

e90f2-synopsis

In this new Love Under the Big Sky series from a USA TODAY bestselling author, Cara agrees to tutor her former classmate’s nephew—and learns some lessons in love!

Josh King is an expert at running his family’s multi-million dollar ranch in Montana. (And all that outside manual labor has done wonders for sculpting his six-foot-three body, too.) But as sure footed as he is when it comes to the ranch, Josh doesn’t know anything about how to deal with an adolescent boy—so when his twelve-year-old nephew, Seth, is dropped off on his doorstep, looking scared and acting surly as hell, Josh knows he needs help in straightening him out.

Cara Donovan loves her quiet life as a teacher in her sleepy hometown, so she jumps at the chance to make a little money over the summer as a tutor. But when she learns she’ll be teaching Josh King’s nephew, Cara’s sweet summer job gets a little bit hotter. Cara tries to focus all her attention on tutoring Seth, but Josh proves to be a delicious distraction, while Josh’s memories of the shy girl he once teased in high school are nothing like the beautiful woman he’s facing now. Can he persuade her that there’s more between them than a summer fling?

Flirty, Fabulous, and Sinfully Sexy.  I am loving Kristen Proby for writing this smokin hot sizzlin romance.  Josh King is tall, dark, handsome, and sweet and will steal your heart while making your panties melt.  He is a rancher and very proud to be following in his fathers footsteps.  Kristen had me tearing up during the tree scene.  Caroline  (Cara) is the bomb.  She is sweet, sassy, and all wrapped up in a sexy and curvy package.

Josh and Cara are brought together when Seth (Josh’s nephew) is dumped at the ranch by his mother.  Josh’s brother Zach is serving in Afghanistan when Seth shows up.  Seth is angry at his mother and father and feels like he has been abandoned.  He is way behind in school and very defiant.  Cara comes to Josh’s ranch to tutor Seth so he can start the school year on target.  She is kind and compassionate and is able to reach Seth when no one else can.  Josh notices Cara right away and quickly becomes smitten with her.  What follows is a lustful affair that will have you breaking out B.O.B. for sure.  Stock up on batteries for this one ladies.  Josh is scorching hot and cant keep his hands off Cara.

The supporting cast makes this story even sweeter.  Zach is Josh’s twin and is a smoking hot.  He is military so he is very much and alpha male and loyal to the people he loves.  Jilly is Cara’s best friend who is a wild and free spirit and I can’t wait for Kristen to write Zach and Jilly’s story.  Then there is Ty, Jilly’s brother who is a rockstar bad boy lawyer who wears suits by day and shows of his tattooed sleeve by night.  He only has eyes for Lauren, who recently went through a horrible divorce.  They are thrown together when her ex-husband decides to sue her for half of her inheritance.  Kristen has their book coming out next called Seducing Lauren.  I can’t wait for the next books to come out.

If you like a sizzlin romance that will have you smiling and feeling giddy afterwards you will love, love, love, Loving Cara.

A Perfect Mistake covere90f2-synopsisHow can they have a future when their past is based on a lie?

The perfect preacher’s daughter, Verity Fairchild, has something that only she and God know about and she wants to keep it that way. Her mistake was easy to keep secret when she was out of town, but now that she’s come back to Hope Parish for the summer, she comes face-to-face with the guy responsible for it all. Boone Outlaw nearly ruined everything for her and despite the fact that he’s now working at her father’s church, she’s determined to stay as far away from him as possible.

Boone Outlaw doesn’t understand Verity’s anger towards him. He barely knows her. In high school she was Holy Mary Verity and she was off limits – except in his dreams where Verity seems way too real. Most of the time he was wasted in high school, not the type of boy Verity would ever look at twice, but he can’t shake the feeling that something might have happened between them. He’s going to break his own rules to get the answers he needs straight from Verity.

What will Verity do when she finds something in Boone that she never knew existed and her perfect mistake is the only thing that could stand between them and their happiness? Will she sacrifice Boone to keep her secret?

6e57f-reviewbigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472Hot, Sexy, and just Friggin Sensational!  This story is a lot spicier than A Perfect Mess.  I was fanning myself especially during the sit-ups scene.  Hot Damn!  It’s 12:30 am and I have to be at work in a few hours if that tells you anything.  I could not put it down.  I had to see what was going to happen with Verity and Boone.  Of course they were going to live happily ever after, but it is the -how do they get there- that keeps me reading.

Zoe did an amazing job with character development in this story.  She takes a girl that looks perfect on the outside “The Preachers Daughter” and shows us that you can’t judge a book by its cover.  Verity has a lot of demons that she is hanging on to and has to learn to confess her sins and share that burden even if it means that Boone will walk away from her.  Her parent’s approval of her is on the line.

Boone is an Outlaw and people judge the Outlaw Brothers based on their father’s actions.  The town judges those boys without looking at what is on the inside.  Boone has straightened up his act and is a caring person.  He is volunteering his time and money to fix up the church.  Why cant they see that?

When Verity realizes that she wrongly judged Boone her heart breaks.  She was no better than anyone else in the town.  As she gets to know him she falls head over heels and is so afraid that her secret will ruin everything they have built.

This book kept me on my toes and turning page after page to see what was going to happen next.  If you like romantic suspense with some scorching hot sex scenes that will wake up your girlie parts then you will love A Perfect Mistake.

A Perfect Mess Covere90f2-synopsisI know what you did last summer.

Aubree Walker, the perfect girl most likely to succeed, is sure there’s only one person who knows what she did.

Booker Outlaw, one of the three Outlaw brothers—all identical, all gorgeous, all from the wrong side of the tracks, and all pure bad boys. He was always the unpredictable one, the one who would be brash enough to make it big self-publishing horror novels on the internet. He promised never to tell, but everyone knows you can never trust an Outlaw.

Then a year later, in the middle of the night, she receives a phone call at Tulane. Her aunt, who took her in after her mother’s death, is in a coma under suspicious circumstances. Now she has to face that one person who knows all about what she did that summer—sexy Booker.

Returning to Hope Parish to be with her aunt, stirs up all those ugly memories. When Aubree starts getting threats, she can’t help but wonder if what she did last summer was tied to her aunt’s “accident.” Afraid, she turns to the only person who knows the truth and Booker doesn’t hesitate to offer his broad shoulder for her to lean on. But Booker has a secret of his own that could crush their fledgling relationship.

As the hot, sultry summer days on the bayou move on, she finds that even a perfectly smart girl can lose her heart to a perfectly bad boy. What is she going to do when someone starts asking questions Aubree doesn’t want to answer? She’s knee deep into a terribly dangerous, wholly life changing, who-can-she-really-depend-on perfect mess.

Warning: This book is for mature audiences only!
New Adult Contemporary Romance.

A Perfect Mess is part of the Perfect Secret series and is a Hope Parish novel. It can be read as a stand-alone novel or in any order with the series.

6e57f-reviewbigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472Ever wonder what happened to the one that got away?  But what if they both escaped each other.  That is Aubree and Booker’s story.  Aubree fled town after a terrible accident and Booker could not bring himself to go after her.  He wanted to but his fear of rejection kept him from tracking her down and tell her how he felt about her.

When Aubree is forced to come home because her only living relative has had an accident and is in a coma.  She is distraught to find out that her aunt fell down the stairs and is now fighting for her life. She blames herself because she left her aunt behind and ran from the feelings that she was having for Booker Outlaw.

There is a reason that Aubree has loved Booker since they were teenagers.  She has carried a dark secret with her.  She saw something that she should not have and stood by and did nothing to stop what was happening.  When she tells Booker what she saw, will he be able to forgive her, or will she fall from the pedestal he has kept her on for all these years.

This story is written in a “different language”.  What I mean by this is that this story takes place in the bayou and the author uses authentic Louisiana slang and phrases that I had never heard before.  This language helps to set the background for the story and contributes to the character development.

This book had it all including: action, suspense, mystery, friendship, family, love, and some sinfully sexy scenes between Booker and Aubree.  I really enjoyed this read.  And now that I have read both A Perfect Mess and A Perfect Mistake I was glad I read this one because it gave me some history of the Outlaw Brothers and what they have been through.

If you like a sexy outlaw, and love watching a spicy little redhead bring a man to his knees, you will love A Perfect Mess.

Legal Affairs by Sawyer Bennett Release Day Blitz + Review

LegalAffairsObjectionSynopsis

One year ago, I graduated from law school and embarked on a career as a purveyor of high priced legal shenanigans.

Six months ago, my boyfriend dumped me when I thought he might be proposing.

Two weeks ago, I got drunk and joined a secret sex club.

Two days ago, I had a torrid one-night stand with a stranger.

Today? Well, today I’m contemplating having an affair with my boss.

Matt Connover is all kinds of forbidden temptation wrapped up in a deliciously wicked package, and he’s made it clear… he’s only interested in sex.

My name is McKayla Dawson but everyone calls me Mac. I work at the powerhouse firm of Connover & Crown, LLP, where the law has never felt so hot.

But between you and me, I’m afraid my heart won’t survive these Legal Affairs.

Mad

 Excerpt

I’m frozen in place. I have to clue what to do. Yes, I have hormones, pheromones, and even just good old, run-of-the-mill moans stuck in the back of my throat, which are on the verge of busting loose. My mind whirls… what did Matt meant by that statement?

Do I slap him or jump him?

We stare at each other… his eyes blazing an inferno of desire, mine probably reflecting the “deer in the headlights” look.

Swallowing hard, I say, “I think—”

Matt lunges at me, catching me with one arm around my waist and the other swiping across my desk, sending binders, papers, folders, pens, a tape dispenser, a stapler, two legal pads and a box of paper clips flying to the floor. “Don’t say a fucking word, McKayla. Just don’t.”

Pushing one of his rock hard thighs in between my legs, he bends me back onto my desk and settles against me, raising both hands now to cup my face. My heart is on the verge of exploding in my chest, and only two things fill my mind. First, please, please, please kiss me, Matt.  Second, please, please, please don’t let me have a heart attack before he does.
I’m saved on both concerns as Matt pours lust, desire, anger, and passion into a kiss that causes my toes to curl against the flip-flops, which are barely clinging to my feet after I was practically thrown onto my desk.  My tongue is shy at first, but it only takes Matt one tiny rock of his hips against mine, and then it’s on. We kiss like we never kissed on that one night we spent together. It is filled with not only yearning, but with a bit of frustration and shame that we have no control over our actions.

This is wrong… we both know it.

Yet he hums with approval when I reach my hand down between us and give him a light stroke, and I practically convulse when one of his hands cup my breast.  For a brief moment, Matt seems to come to his senses and stills against me. He rises up from my mouth and stares at me deeply, worry creasing his forehead. He even curses just the way I’ve come to appreciate about him. “Fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck.”

“We don’t have to—” I start to say, but he growls at me so I snap my mouth shut.

He stares at me for just a moment more, and then he abruptly stands up. I think it’s over, that reality has reappeared, and disappointment fills me. That lasts just a flicker of a moment because fantasy land returns as Matt starts stripping me of my clothes.
In less than fifteen seconds, he has me completely naked and splayed out on my desk in front of him. He looks down at me, eyes roaming, and he actually licks his lips like he’s getting ready to gorge himself.

Yes, I’m ringing the dinner bell… bring it on.

I expect Matt to undo his pants and mount up, but he surprises me when he pulls one of my chairs closer to the desk and sits down. He takes my legs, spreads them outward, and tugs me to the edge of the desk, throwing said legs rather haphazardly over his shoulders.
Pleasure and thrills blanket my body as I realize that he’s settling in to do me right. His face dives down, and I actually grunt… yes, grunt… at first contact. I then bite down hard on my tongue so I’m not screaming the rafters down.

I’m delirious with pleasure as Matt works my body to his liking. He uses touch and sound to give me the ultimate experience. Touch meaning fingers and tongue, and yes, even his chin, which has me bucking off the desk. Sound meaning the dirty, dirty things he whispers to me as he causes a rollercoaster of an orgasm to go rushing up my spine. I have to slap my hand over my mouth not to scream, and Matt looks up at me with pure male satisfaction.

It took him just under two minutes to send me to Heaven.

He’s just that fucking good.

My Review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Who knew the law could be so sinfully sexy and lustfully delicious..

What would you do if your new boss was your most recent one night stand? Speak of the devil when McKayla Dawson walks into a board meeting to find out that her new boss is none other than her most recent one night stand. Matthew Connover aka Mr. 134 is not happy to see her walk through that door. Well that is just too damn bad. McKayla is a smart and strong woman and she is not about to let Mr. Connover terminate her employment because he happens to be her new boss. Just because the man gave her several amazing orgasms the night before did not mean that she could not behave professionally. He would just have to get over himself because McKayla would not be going anywhere without a fight. Will lust win in the end or can these two behave themselves?

Objection is going to leave you so hot and bothered you will be counting down the days until Stipulation comes out.

Orgasm

Bringing My Real Life Into Fictional Writing

By Sawyer Bennett

 So, I’m a lawyer. A trial lawyer to be exact. I’ve spent the past 16 years arguing my heart out to juries but honestly, it wasn’t that big of a transition to bring my creativity in oral prose to the pages.

I’ve been dying to write a romance with a legal theme floating in the background. Legal Affairs was the perfect opportunity and I have more ideas for future books that revolve around lawyers, hot sex, gooey romance and interesting cases.

In Legal Affairs, I went light on the legal action. This was mainly because each volume has a limited budget of words, but there is a defined case that our heroine, McKayla Dawson handles in this story. It’s an actual case based on one of the very first cases I handled when I was a young lawyer fresh out of law school. The factual details are straight from my own files and it was an amazing trip down memory lane.

One of my biggest challenges as a trial lawyer was getting a jury to step into my client’s shoes… to make them feel in their gut how much my client had been affected. It’s been an incredible journey to make my readers feel an emotional tie to the characters in my stories.  When that connection happens, it is beyond awesome.

Legal Affairs is a serial romance with a whole lot of hot and a little bit of funny. It has six volumes that will be released every two weeks, the first one, entitled Objection, on January 10, 2014. Each title is between 12,000-15,000 words with the last one close to 20,000 words.

Legal Affairs – Objection – releasing January 10, 2014
Legal Affairs – Stipulation – releasing January 24, 2014
Legal Affairs – Violation – releasing February 7, 2014
Legal Affairs – Mitigation – releasing February 21, 2014
Legal Affairs – Reparation – releasing March 7, 2014
Legal Affairs – Affirmation – releasing March 21, 2014

Legal Affairs: Objection is FREE for a limited time. Each installment thereafter will be priced at .99 cents.

Stolen Wishes by Lexi Ryan Release Day Blitz, Review, and **Giveaway**

1526310_568489136576966_542290288_ne90f2-synopsis**Contains sexual content and adult language and situations. Intended for mature readers.**

Cally…
A sexy smile. Intense blue eyes. A goodness that makes him want to save me from these rumors when no one else would care. I didn’t ask for a hero. William Bailey was never supposed to be anything more than a wish, a dream, an unrequited crush. Not for a girl like me–a girl whose fractured family has stolen her chance at a decent life.

William…
Since the death of my parents, I’ve always done what’s expected of me, what’s “best” for me. Until Cally. The moment her haunted eyes meet mine, the fractured pieces of my heart feel whole again. I don’t just want to save her. I need her to save me.

Stolen chances. Unbroken wishes. Two lonely souls grasping for hope in the darkness.

**This novella takes place seven years before the events in WISH I MAY and shows William and Cally falling in love for the first time. It can be read before or after WISH I MAY or on its own.**

6e57f-review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

I did not think that I could love William Bailey any more then I already do but after Stolen Wishes I am head over heels, and crazy in love, when it comes to William Bailey.  The way that William puts Cally on a pedestal is breathtaking.  He falls hard and fast for her, and looks at her like she hung the moon and the stars in the sky.  Cally is smitten with William and admires him from afar.  She is overjoyed and overwhelmed when he actually pursues her.  He is her knight in shining armour.  Stolen Wishes is only the beginning of one of the most heart-wrenching and sinfully sexy love stories I have ever read.  This novella should make you run out and buy Wish I May.  If you already own Wish I May, after reading Stolen Wishes, William Bailey will own a piece of your heart.

Stolen Wishes Teaser 2 v2 (1)

Excerpt

“Hey, William,” a girl calls from the kitchen. “Why don’t you come in here and take a shot?

I hardly have a chance to tense before Will pulls me closer. “Can’t do that, Meredith.  My  date’s here.”

Lizzy and Hanna both turn to us at his words, and I feel my own eyes go wide.

“I’d consider it a personal favor if you could roll with this,” he whispers into my ear.

“Meredith has been trying to get me to do body shots since she got here two hours ago.”

“You don’t drink?” I ask, not that it’s my business. I’ve just never been to a party with  alcohol before, and I’m not sure what to expect. From the stories I’ve heard, I half expected everyone to be wasted by the time we got here.

“It’s not the drinking that I mind. She’s just not my type.” When I frown at him, confused, his lips quirk in a half­smile. “You do know what a body shot is, don’t you?”

I shake my head.

“Want to find out?” His fingers trail over the sensitive dip in my spine as he asks, and I  nod. I would probably agree to anything he asked me right now.

He takes me to the kitchen, his hot hand never leaving the small of my back.

Lizzy and Hanna step back and study us as he leads me to the island. I’d feel guilty about

abandoning them tonight, but they seem to be having a great time.

“Where’s the tequila, Max?” Will calls.

Max hoists a bottle of amber liquid in the air and snags a shot glass off the counter.

“Do you know what a snakebite is?” Will asks me quietly. He’s standing close so only I

can hear him when he talks.

I bite my lip. “I don’t really go to many parties.”

Next to us, Max fills the shot glass with tequila.

“A snakebite is a shot of tequila that you take with salt and lime,” Will explains to me.

“What makes it a body shot?” I ask.

His throat moves as he swallows, and his blue eyes go darker somehow, his pupils  getting bigger. His lips part as he studies mine. “It’s a body shot if you take all the parts of the snakebite off someone else’s body.”

That makes my pulse kick up a notch. I’m still trying to puzzle out the logistics when Max  calls,

“No hands, Bailey.”

Will winks at me. “And I can’t use my hands for anything but putting the salt on you.

Are you still game?”

I nod wordlessly, and I’m rewarded with one of Will’s full­out grins. I don’t need to know

details to understand his mouth is going to be on me, and I like the idea of that. A lot.

Will’s hands slide to my waist and tighten, and before I realize what he’s doing, he’s

hoisting me up on the counter. I squeak, and the girls cheer. All of them except Kristen  and Meredith, that is. They’re leaning against the fridge, scowling at me like I killed their  puppy.

Max hands me the shot glass and looks at me expectantly.

“Do I hold it?” I whisper.

“If you want,” Max says. “But I think you shouldn’t make it so easy on my boy here.”

Will shakes his head. “Whatever you’re comfortable with.”

Lizzy rushes over and cups her hand around my ear. “Slide it between your breasts. Trust

I gape at her, and she shrugs innocently before joining Hanna at the edge of the kitchen.

I may be inexperienced, but I’m not naïve and I get what this game is about. My cheeks

heat as I slide the glass into my cleavage. It’s cool against my hot skin, and Will’s eyes  burn into me as he watches me position it.

Max offers me a lime wedge.

“Do you need your friend to tell you what to do with that too?” Kristen calls.

“Shut up, Kristen,” Will says. “You didn’t know what you were doing your first time either.”

But she’s right. Lizzy shouldn’t have to tell me what to do. I take the lime and put it

between my teeth, facing out. The citrusy pulp presses against my lips, making them  tingle.

Or maybe the tingle is from the idea of William’s lips close to mine.

Will grins and brushes my hair off my neck. “Ready or not.”

Three Broken Promises by Monica Murphy Blog Tour, Review + **Giveaway**

TBP Blog Tour BannerThreeBrokenPromises new couple REDe90f2-synopsisBreakout New Adult sensation Monica Murphy returns with a hot new contemporary romance—a heartfelt story of second chances, forgiveness, and redemption.

Commitment. That’s what I really want from Colin. Ever since my brother, Danny, died in Iraq, Colin’s done so much to help me, including giving me a job at his popular restaurant so I can leave my crappy waitressing job at the strip joint. But lying in bed with him every night to comfort him from his horrible nightmares isn’t enough anymore. I know he feels guilty about Danny’s death, about not going to Iraq, but I can’t keep living this double life.

I love him desperately, but he’s got so many demons, and if he can’t open up to me now, then he’ll never be the real partner I need him to be. I gave him a month, and now I’m out of here. If he truly loves me like he says, he knows where to find me.

6e57f-review

3 Stars

Let me get started by saying I am a huge fan of Monica Murphy and the Drew and Fable epic saga.  I also adore her Billionaire Bachelor’s Club Series. Because I am a huge fan, it was really difficult to give this book a three star review.  I love Monica and it took me several days to develop the courage to write this review.

Jen and Colin have been a part of each others lives for several years.  Colin was Jen’s brother Danny’s best friend.  They were like brothers and had planned their future together.  They were both going to join the military together but Danny got overzealous and went and signed up before Colin had a chance to stop him and ask him to join in him in opening a restaurant instead.  Danny dies in combat and it destroys Colin.  Colin blames himself for not talking to Danny sooner and lives with the guilt and nightmares.  He promised Danny when he left for war that he would take care of his little sister Jen.

Jen is a hot mess.  Her parents forgot about her after Danny died and so she runs away with no thought of how she will take care of herself.  She finds herself stripping at a club and providing extra favors to men in the backseat of her car just so she can survive.  When Colin finds out he is livid.  He is her knight in shining armor when he rescues her, moves her into his home, and gives her a job at his restaurant.

The problem is that Jen wants more from Colin.  She wants his heart, body, and soul.  Colin is not willing to give it to her.  This is where the story gets really angsty and the excuses that Colin gives are not substantial enough that they should stay apart.  Jen then jumps again without thinking ahead. This is where I felt like the characters started falling apart.  Jen is super naive and I think that is why I had such a hard time connecting with her character, and Colin is very wishy washy which made it hard for me to like him.  This story just did not do it for me because I could not identify and connect with the characters.

Overall Three Broken Promises was a good read.  If you are a huge fan of Drew and Fable like I am then Three Broken Promises is worth reading just to get the chance to see them again.  They are the voice of reason in this story.   I cannot wait until Drew and Fable Forever comes out.

Jamie Begley Author Spotlight + Teased Review + **Giveaway**

teasede90f2-synopsis“Here comes Trouble!” Colton took one look at the stripper on stage and knew that was exactly what Vida was, trouble. He had no desire to succumb to the young woman tantalizing men with her provocative movements and killer body with no intention of satisfying their fantasies. Fresh out of prison, his tattoo shop and getting rid of an aggravating ex were his first priorities, not a woman who should know better than to become involved in a situation that could get her killed.

Vida will do anything to save her friend’s life, even if it includes stripping on stage and doing lap dances in the VIP room under her stage name Trouble. All the sensuous moves were just an illusion to gain the information she needed, even if it meant the men who watched thought she would keep the promises her body was making.

Forced to sift through lies and betrayals, Colton discovers a woman who is as loving as she is loyal, but won’t give him a chance. Vida, who tries to ignore the escalating passion between them, learns the hard way that some men shouldn’t be teased…

  Excerpt

“I need to go to the bathroom,” Vida told him, trying to get off his lap.

Colton held her still with his hands on her hips. “In a minute.” His hands slipped to her ass, adjusting her until he notched her pussy against his cock where thankfully, Vida noticed, he had on a pair of sweat bottoms.

She had a terrible feeling she didn’t want to hear what he was about to say.

“Why are you still a virgin, Vida? No boyfriends in high school or college?” he questioned.

Vida was right; she didn’t want to hear his questions, much less answer them. Her lips tightened.

“It’s none of your business,” she finally answered.

“Yes, it is, since I’m the one going to take it,” he said casually.

“No, you’re not,” Vida snapped.

“Yes, baby, I am.” He lifted his pelvis until she could feel his hard cock against her folds. Desire threatened to rise again and Vida felt herself begin to want him.

Vida shook her head. He was everything she didn’t want in a man, everything she had sworn never to become attached to. Yet, he was sitting there, thinking he was going to take from her a gift that she had planned on keeping for someone special for years.

“No, you won’t. I have saved myself for the man I fall in love with, which is not you, nor will it ever be you. I won’t be like my mother, falling in love with one man after another, losing a piece of herself after each one. Do you know how many dads she brought home? Introduced me to? Each one she was sure was going to put that ring on her finger and make all her dreams come true. They never did, each one slept with her and used her until they were satisfied then they left her crying. She would cry for days, until she met the next one and fell just as hard.

“I am going to save myself for one man. A man who I know is going to love me as much as I love him, and won’t leave me for the next piece of pussy he sees. He will be as committed to me as I am to him. That will not be you, you’re a horn dog, and you’re married!” she yelled.

Colton rose up from his relaxed position, bringing his chest against hers.

“The only man that is going to be between your thighs is me. I am going to take that sweet little cherry of yours and make it mine. You made yourself so many promises when you were a little girl there’s no way you can keep them all. You’re not a little girl anymore, Vida. You’re a woman and you’re going to want my cock in you. You’re going to want it all the time.” Leaning back against the headboard again, he gave her a tender smile. “If you’re a good girl, I’ll give it to you any time you want. If you’re not, I’ll make you beg for it.” He gave her an arrogant smile that Vida had to restrain herself from knocking off him with the fist clenched at her side.

“You ass!” Vida moved to jump off him, and this time he let her go with a laugh.

“You better hurry up; we’re late.” Colton’s voice followed her into the bathroom. She made sure to slam the door loud enough for him to hear.

6e57f-reviewbigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472This is an amazing story that has chemistry and smokin hot sex but also has a really spectacular story line.  Vida is a smart intelligent girl getting her degree in computer programming.  When she finds herself in a terrible situation where she needs help she only knows of one man that can help her.  Her dead mother’s former boss “King”.  He is the owner and proprietor of a bar and strip club.  So thats’s how Vida found herself taking her clothes off on stage so that King could keep an eye on her while she earned enough money to pay him to help her.  Colton owed King a favor and so King cashed in making Colton play bodyguard to Vida.

Sexy and sensual yet innocent and sweet is how I would describe Vida.  Colton is a hot and ruggedly handsome alpha male who is extremely loyal to those he loves. When Colton is tasked to be a bodyguard for the beautiful virgin Vida things get really steamy and the sparks begin to fly.  Colton knows he should not get attached but it is impossible for him to get his mind off of Vida.  Will he stake his claim or let her walk away?

Can the innocent virgin tame the ex-con biker bad ass?  You will have to pick up a copy of Teased to find out.

viper

e90f2-synopsisWinter Simmons received the surprise of her life when she discovered the man she had been dating for the last two years was actually Viper, president of the Last Riders. A high school principal, Winter has no intention of ruining her reputation in the community to be with a man who betrayed her trust. Unforgiving, she turns her back on him, only to find that Viper is not the gentleman he portrayed.

Determined to find his brother’s killer, Loker James kept his identity as President of The Last Riders a secret from Winter. When the truth comes out, he is determined to make her see the real man who can control not only a group of dangerous bikers, but a woman whose life is a rulebook. Unable to prevent herself from being drawn into the very club she despises, Winter is about to lose everything important to her, unless Viper can prove she’s more than a moonlight run.

 Excerpt 

“It was the only thing I had to hold onto to make the nightmare of almost losing you bearable. I believed that once you found out who I was, you wouldn’t be able to accept that, and I wanted you to have the choice. The accident did change my feelings, I agree with you there, but not the way you think, Winter.” Viper saw the resignation in her eyes. “My feelings changed because I was no longer going to give you a choice in the matter. I pretended I was, even to myself. Right up to the point you sent me that text. You’re mine, regardless of whether you want to be or not. If you even think of looking at another man, I will kill the motherfucker. If you try to leave me again, I will lock you in my room. And if you ever, and I mean ever, tell me you’re not pretty again, I will beat your ass until you can’t sit for a week. Do you understand me?”

Winter didn’t know a man could yell and cry at the same time. For the first time, Winter ran into his open arms.

knox e90f2-synopsisKnox, a former Navy Seal, has been in several dangerous situations, but nothing compares to dealing with Diamond Richards. Framed for murder, he needs the passionless lawyer to prove his innocence. But when he no longer needs her help, he’s going to show her the passion she’s capable of and walk away a free man.

Diamond plans on earning her huge fee to prove Knox is innocent, but she had no idea the muscled biker could bring out the passion she kept hidden behind her designer clothes. Trying to find a murderer is easier than dealing with The Last Riders and Knox’s sexcapades. He’s going to find out there is one woman worth standing and fighting for, despite his desire for freedom.

 Excerpt 

Knox rose in one movement, carrying her into the bedroom and laying her down on the bed. His hands went to her hips, pulling down her stockings and panties. He then removed his shirt, exposing his chest. Diamond’s mouth watered at the bare expanse of the muscular chest, her fingers wanted to explore the tats on his arm and her mouth wanted to trace the tats on his chest. She watched breathlessly as he took off his boots, standing again to take off his jeans, exposing his huge, pierced cock.

Diamond’s eyes widened at the sheer size of his cock and the piercings that had several balls on the flesh around the head. She, even with her limited experience, knew that this would be no gentle round of love-making from the tensed look on Knox’s face. The size and piercings were enough to scare the desire from her body, add the fierce expression and Diamond knew he would be too much to handle.

Diamond rose to her knees on the bed as he pulled on a condom, her flight or fight instinct kicking in when faced with the frightening proposition of being fucked by a cock that she was afraid would rip her to shreds in more ways than one.

She tried to scramble off the other side of the bed, however she found her hips grasped in his hands and her ass dragged backwards to him.

“If you didn’t want to fuck, you would have said so before I pulled my dick out.” He pulled her dress up to her waist, baring her ass and pussy to his gaze. Stepping up between her thighs, he fit his cock against her opening.

“Knox…”

razere90f2-synopsisBeth Cornett is the town good girl, so staying out of the way of the motorcycle club’s dangerous members was a no brainer. Unfortunately, she manages to catch the eye of Razer, who has every intention of tempting her to take him on despite her misgivings. When her worst fears are realized, she is left heartbroken, determined to forget her walk on the wild side.

Razer was not going to change for any woman, not even Beth. Their lifestyles were too different; betrayed she ran. Realizing his mistake too late; she was not about to forgive and forget. It takes a killer intent on targeting Beth to bring her back to him and The Last Riders for protection. Razer may have learned his lesson, but this time, as long as she is at the club, she has to play by their rules.

Excerpt

“My kitty wants to come?” Razer asked, delving another finger inside her.

“Yes… Yes…” Beth moaned. Her hips surged upwards, trying to maneuver his fingers to the right spot so that she could come.

“Not yet… we’re going to play for a while.” Razer played with her body, tormenting her until she was covered with a sheen of sweat and her frustrated whimpers were driving him crazy. Still, he denied her the climax. When she tore away from him, unable to take more, he dragged her back.

“You sure you want me, kitten?”

“Yes.” Razer’s mouth latched onto her as he heard her answer.

 ef42d-authorbioI 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 put up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent at work and I write during the nights and weekends. I have two children who both graduate next 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 three series of books- The Last Riders that is fairly popular, The Dark Souls series, which is not, and The VIP Room, which we will soon see. 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 next summer. Right now I am typing away on Knox’s story and looking forward to the coming holidays. Did I mention I love the holidays?

Always You by Missy Johnson Release Day Blitz, Review + **Giveaway**

I was thrilled when I was offered a graduate teaching position at the prestigious Tennerson Girls Academy. At twenty-three, this would be my first ‘real’ teaching assignment. Working at the elite boarding school, home to the daughters of some of the wealthiest people in the world, was a great opportunity that I would’ve been stupid to pass up.One week into my new job, and I suddenly had no idea why I chose high school…I was a seventeen year old boy once, I knew how teenage girls behaved.You can’t even imagine the hell of trying to teach thirty, hormonal driven seventeen year olds who have been cooped up, away from any male contact.I could handle the whispers every time I entered the room. I could even handle the obvious attempts at gaining my attention. What I couldn’t handle was her…

Rich bitches and way too many rules. Was it any wonder that I hated school?

Add to that the lack of male contact, and I was going insane. Like literally. I wasn’t used to this. A year ago I was normal. I had a boyfriend, friends and a loving family. There is nothing normal about me anymore, and nobody here lets me forget that.

My name is Wrenn, and I’m only here because my aunt took me in after what happened, but my aunt also happens to be the headmistress of this academy…Can you see my problem?

I’m hated for my lack of money, and I’m hated for who my Aunt is.

Then he arrived. Dalton Reed. My new history teacher.

Slowly, he helped me see that even in the worst situations, there is always hope.

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Missy delivers a heart wrenching love story that will capture your heart and soul.  This story found its way into my heart and will stay with me always.  It made me remember that our days are numbered, we should always live life to the fullest, and that everyday we have on this earth is a blessing.

This story is not what you think it is.  It is not a typical hot for teacher romance.  It is so much more than that.  Dalton and Wrenn were destined to be together.  She changed his life when she was only seven years old and gave him the strength to live even if his life might be cut short due to a disease he may or may not have.

Wrenn

“I just don’t get why you would worry about maybe getting sick, especially when it wouldn’t happen for ages.  You can’t change it, so what good is worrying going to do?”

Those words changed Dalton’s life.  He had to live even if it was only for today.

Missy reminds us that life has to go on.  No matter what kind of tragedy comes our way we have to learn from it and hope that our experience makes us a better person and gives us the opportunity to help someone else someday who might be going though something similar.

This book was given to me in exchange for an honest review.  I am so thankful that Missy came into my life at I time when I needed this story to get through my own tragedy. This book has given me a new outlook on life.  I am going to have to pick up my bootstraps and be strong because I have two children that need me to be.  Thank you Missy for writing this story.

Always You is an amazing feel good story that will inspire you.

Missy lives in a small town in Central Victoria with her husband, and her confused pets (a dog who think she’s a cat, a cat who thinks he’s a dog…you get the picture).

When she’s not writing, she can usually be found looking for something to read.

First Night is a tantalizing tease that will leave you panting for more. Clay is a sexy smart mouthed attorney and he has eyes set on a sassy and sensual bartender.

VIP by M. Robinson Blog Tour, Review, + ***Giveaway***

 
Synopsis: 
The beginning- A point in time or space where something starts. 32 year old Sebastian Vanwell, was a very successful yacht broker, who always loved the design and architecture of a luxurious yacht. His only addiction was being on the water. He loved it, he thrived on it, and he needed it in his life. After a very stable, loving child hood with a few bumps, Sebastian married the love of his life. The one person that he knew would always be there. Julia was his rock, and he loved her more than life itself. Sebastian kept his addiction to the water under control, wanting to keep his time with his wife and son his number one obsession, that was until he saw her. This new addiction haunted him, the one compulsion that he couldn’t control no matter how hard he tried.
Ysabelle Telle hit him hard, knocking the wind from his lungs. Coming from worlds apart, beautiful, dark complexion Ysabelle Telle didn’t have the rich, protected background that Sebastian Vanwell had. Ysabelle lived a life of hell, in poverty, growing up with a drug addict mother that never cared, and horrific living conditions. Ysabelle lived for one person and one person only; herself. She was pure perfection, her beauty along with a flawless body had men lined up, driveling over her insuring her success as a VIP.
There are too many words that describe the effects when two diverse worlds like theirs collide. They both have too much to lose to get caught in the forceful pull, which could destroy them both.
Publisher’s Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and drug use. Intended for mature audiences.
My Review
4.5 Stars
VIP is a sinfully seductive forbidden love story.  I fell in love with Sebastian and his girls from the start.  M. Robinson takes you on this insane journey where you are unable to see what will happen next.
The author does an amazing job developing this story.  She writes two parallel stories.  One story that is completely about Sebastian and his two best friends growing up Julia and Olivia.  You see love blossom between these three and you learn about Sebastian’s character.  The other story is about Isabelle and her story is very dark and you can’t wrap your heard around how either of these characters are going to meet.  They are from totally different worlds.  I have never read anything like this.  Bravo M. Robinson for putting together a really unique story and laying it out in such a different way.  I hope that you are working on a continuation of this story because I would like to see more.  Even if it is just a short HEA.
This story is very dark while being extremely sexual.   It deals with subject matter that is not for the faint of heart.  It is an emotional roller coaster ride where you will laugh and cry but is so worth it.
