Worth Forgiving

MMA Series~ Book 3

By Vi Keeland

Blurb

They say men like a lady in the living room and a whore in the bedroom.  I never knew the sentiment was reciprocal.  Until I met Jax Knight.  A gentleman in public, a commanding, dirty talking rogue in the bedroom.

Daughter of legendary fighter “The Saint,” Lily St. Claire knows firsthand how fighters can be.  As the owner of a chain of MMA gyms, she’s no stranger to aggressive, dominating, and possessive men.  That’s why she always kept her distance.  But the day Jax Knight walks through her door she’s captivated by his charm.  Stunningly handsome, well mannered, Ivy League educated, and confident, he shatters all the preconceived notions she’d come to think were true about men who trained to fight.

But falling for someone so soon after her breakup wasn’t something she’d planned on.  And definitely not something her ex plans to allow.

Genre: A New Adult / Adult Contemporary Romance Novel

Excerpt: Meet Jax and Lily

Dinner and a dirty mouth

My face pinks when the waiter clears his throat, no doubt he’d heard Jax’s last comment.

“Are you ready to hear the specials?”

“Are we?” Jax arches an eyebrow, his eyes gleaming with delight. He’s not the slight bit embarrassed, but knows I am and is quite enjoying himself.

“Yes. Please.” I give him the evil eye and force my full attention back to the waiter. The entire time the waiter talks about the specials I feel Jax’s eyes burning into me.

“I’ll give you a moment to let you decide.” Graciously, the waiter excuses himself.

“Why did you do that?” I scold, my voice low.

“Do what?” He leans back in his seat, crossing his arms over his thick chest.

“You know exactly what I’m talking about.”

“Do I?”

“You enjoy watching me flustered, don’t you?”

Jax arches both eyebrows. Bad choice of words.

“You know what I mean.”

Leaning in, his voice gritty and sexy, he looks me straight in the eyes when he speaks. “I love watching you. Period. But what I like best is watching you pretend you’re unaffected. It’s like an unspoken challenge.” He pauses and leans in even closer. “I love the pink that creeps up your cheeks when I say something dirty. The way your pussy throbs when I mention what I’m going to do to you later, and you wiggle in your seat trying to control it. So yeah, I guess I do like watching you flustered. You sit and give your attention to the waiter, trying to pretend you’re listening to whatever he’s saying instead of thinking of me feeding you my cock later, but we both know you didn’t hear one word he said. Hell I didn’t hear one word watching you, just knowing what you were thinking about.”

This time, I see the waiter before he’s close enough to hear us. He smiles as he reaches our table. “So what can I get for you this evening? Did I interest you in one of our specials?”

I look at the waiter, then Jax, who arches an eyebrow with a knowing smirk on his face, then back to the waiter. “The specials all sounded delicious. I just can’t decide for myself. I’m going to defer to my date to pick one for me.” I return my eyes to Jax with a cheeky grin.

He throws his head back with a chuckle and looks at the poor confused waiter. “We’ll take whatever two are your favorites. Surprise us.”

Worth The Chance

Meet Vince Stone
Women love a fighter, especially a good one. Lucky for me, I’m damn good. But there’s one woman that isn’t interested. Not again, anyway.

Vince ‘The Invincible’ Stone is every woman’s fantasy…strong, sexy, confident and completely in control. Growing up surrounded by chaos, he’s learned never to get too attached. Love will drag you down. He adores women, treats them well, puts their own needs before his own…for the night anyway. With the biggest fight of his life coming up, his focus should be on training.

One Night Promised

One Night Trilogy- Book 1

By Jodi Ellen Malpas

Synopsis

Livy notices him the moment he walks into the coffee shop. He’s heart-stoppingly stunning, with a blue-eyed gaze so piercing she’s almost too distracted to take his order. When he walks out the door, she thinks she’ll never see him again. Then she finds the note he left on his napkin . . . signed M.

All he wants is one night to worship her. No feelings, no commitment, nothing but pleasure. Every defense mechanism Livy has adopted during her solitary life is at risk of being obliterated by this confounding man. He’s obnoxious but well-mannered. He’s a gentleman but aloof. He’s passionate but emotionless. Yet the fascination is so powerful, Livy can’t deny him… or herself.

M awakens something in Livy, something deep and addictive that she never knew existed — and that she fears only he can satisfy. But she senses that behind the fast cars, fancy suits, and posh apartment, he’s aching inside. To have him, body and soul, she’ll have to brave his dark secrets. Delving into his world and breaking down his defenses become her obsession – an obsession that could shatter her heart beyond repair..

Kristyn’s Review

Livy is a young woman who holds herself back. She works in a coffee shop and takes care of her Nan. She doesn’t drink, or party. She is too afraid of what losing control could make her do. Too scared of becoming just like her mother.

Abandoned at a young age, Livy grew up knowing that her mother was gone, and not coming back. But at the age of 17 she found a copy of her mothers journal and discovered that she sold her body for material things. Livy dove head first into that world so that maybe she could figure out what the draw was. What made her mother abandon her for the men who used her body for money and trinkets?

But Livy didn’t find the answers she hoped she would. So she went back home and back to taking care of the only woman who she could count on. She gave up alcohol and men. She didn’t date or go out at all. Livy couldn’t separate those things from the type of person her mother was, so she didn’t indulge in them at all.

But Livy’s world was spun on it’s axis when an arrogant man with bright blue eyes walked into her coffee shop and had the nerve to leave a note telling her that the coffee was crap.

The mysterious M was handsome and put together and entirely too prone to snobbery for Livy. But those things couldn’t make her not interested, even thought she wished they would. There was just something about that arrogant man that fascinated her. There was a spark that neither of them could deny.

“Twenty-four hours.” That was all he offered. A night of passion and the best sex she would ever have. It was too close to being just like her mother. Too much like selling herself for pleasure. So she ran off and hoped to never run into Miller again.

But he couldn’t stay away. He wouldn’t stay away. So they gave in to the spark. They gave into the pull and the promise of passion. But once was never going to be enough.

This book was a tumultuous ride from start to finish. Livy and Miller shouldn’t have worked. They shouldn’t have made sense together. Miller with his OCD and Livy with her refusal to be anything like her mom. But they had something they couldn’t ignore. A connection that made sense somehow.

But Miller was closed off and no matter how much Livy wanted him to, he didn’t open up. And when the truth came out, it was too much to ignore. Too hard to accept. And left too many unanswered questions.

Promised is a well written story about imperfect people, in an imperfect relationship. You will spend a lot of time mad at Livy and Miller but you want them to be together anyway. Nan is hilarious. And Miller is likeable even though he is stuffy and obsessive with neatness.

I can’t wait to find out what happens next. Thankfully it’s not a long wait.
