Synopsis

If you’re thinking this is the typical MMA romance…you’re wrong.

When we were ten, he treated me like a friend.
When we were eighteen, he wanted nothing to do with me.
And now that we are twenty-two, he longs to claim every single inch of me.
He was wild–untamed.
And I, a reckless girl, who loved too hard.
But, what we had was special.
I was his serenity and he my protector.
Drake was consumed by my love…
but he also took advantage of it…
He’d broken my heart–left me hanging for years.
He ruined us.
And, now, he’s back.
He wants me.
And I want to hate him, I really do.
But, who am I kidding?
No one can deny Drake Davenport.
You can’t hide from the almighty DOOMSDAY.
Because he is a fighter.
And, just like me, he loves hard.
He never loses and he will fight as hard as he can if it means winning me back.

**Doomsday Love is a 149K word novel and it is a STANDALONE. It also features the first three chapters of Shanora Williams’ #1 bestselling taboo standalone novel, Tainted Black.**

Tracey’s Review

The unlikely love story between Jenny Roscoe and Drake ‘Doomsday’ Davenport began at age 10, when they recognized each other as a safe place, each accepting the other for who and what they were. Against all odds, and across years, the love that they felt for each other was tested, time and again, until their differences proved to be too much. But as two halves of a whole, Jenny and Drake prove that time and distance is no barrier to true love.

When given the opportunity to read DOOMSDAY LOVE by author Shanora Williams, I jumped right in. I am a sucker for books about MMA/fighters, and this one seemed to be a perfect fit. Let me begin by saying that, while I appreciate the appeal of the New Adult genre, I am not their biggest fan, mostly because I am rather far beyond the age range covered. That being said, I have to say that Shanora has done a fine job of writing a book that will appeal to a variety of readers.

While the ‘Past’ part of the story was important for background, I especially enjoyed the ‘Present’ part of the book, and felt more connected with the characters once they’d had a chance to grow into themselves, and find themselves as individuals. Drake, especially, emerged as a man that has learned from his past, and is willing to continue to evolve in order to be better in every way.

If you’re a fan of second-chance romances interwoven with redemption, forgiveness, and new beginnings, DOOMSDAY LOVE is for you. Don’t wait to add it to your TBR.

Synopsis

EVERYTHING

Music was was part of my DNA, pumping hard through my veins, resonating deep within my bones. Not surprising, considering my dad was a global rock star and my mom had the voice of a fallen angel.

With my twin sister by my side in our indie-rock duo, Singed Wings, we were ready to finally see our name in lights when we opened for the hottest act to sell out stadiums – Jobu’s Rum Summer Reunion Tour.

The life I’d always wanted was finally within my reach. All I had left to do was finish out my last semester of high school.

But there was one problem: Ms. Sloan, the new art history teacher.

The same Ms. Sloan I’d met as Belle, the sexy little pixie who’d captivated me at a New Year’s Eve concert last year.

The same Ms. Sloan who’d owned nearly every one of my thoughts since that night.

The same Ms. Sloan whose class I was in danger of failing.

With my dream gig dangling just on the other side of that cap and gown, all of my focus should’ve been on my school work and improving my music as I prepared for my big shot to rock the world…

But I never expected her to rock mine first… and to change everything.

everything teaser

Excerpt

I leaned down to her level then skimmed the tip of my nose along her jawline, inhaling her intoxicating scent. “But you are out with him? Like together, on a date?”

With a soft moan, her head lolled to the side, granting me access to the smooth, creamy skin of her neck. “Not together,” she rasped, her eyelids fluttering closed. “Friends… we’re just friends. I promise.”

Her words immediately erased most of the anger jetting through my veins. I still wasn’t happy she was out with him, because I knew damned well Mr. Carroll wasn’t interested in being “just friends.” But that was his fucking problem.

“And us?” I asked, as my mouth grazed from her throat to her hairline. “Are we just friends too, beautiful Belle?”

“We’re not friends,” she hissed when I caught her earlobe between my teeth and flicked my tongue over it. “And we shouldn’t… we can’t do this again. I’m your teacher.”

She made no attempt to open her eyes or to move away despite her claim, and I had no intention of stopping until she explicitly told me to. As she fought her own inner battle of right versus wrong, mind against body, I planned on showing her every reason we absolutely should and could do it again. And again and again.

“Indeed you are, Ms. Sloan,” I murmured against her delicate flesh, ghosting kisses from her ear to her barely-parted lips. “But right now, I think it’s time you learn a little lesson of your own.”

My mouth slammed down on hers, swallowing whatever her response was going to be. The lesson I had in mind involved a lot of doing, and not much talking. The question and answer portion came after the hands-on demonstration.

I swept my tongue across her lips, and she opened up for me without any resistance. My dick throbbed and twitched against my zipper as her hands fisted my shirt and tugged me closer. Our tongues melted together, the intensity of the kiss building deeper and deeper until I had to break free.

“Everett,” she breathed, reaching for me as I drew back. God, the sound of my name on her lips, full of desperate need, was like a direct hit of lightning between my legs. Instantly, I was rock-fucking-hard.

Belle Sloan awakened the untamed, possessive animal that lurked inside me. One I never knew existed before her. And there was no way of putting him back in his cage now.

Synopsis:

He’s back.

Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him.

But I can’t resist.

The sex is incredible (pretty sure we’ve shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can’t fool me—not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that “true love” is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn’t exist.

He thinks I’m wrong, and he wants to prove it.

I think he’s crazy, so I dare him to try.

It might be the biggest mistake of my life.

Luka 1

Excerpt

We strolled up Charing Cross Road talking about the usual first date stuff: music we liked, where I was from. He’d even been to Slovenia, telling me about a bachelor party he’d gone on in Ljubljana, although he called it a ‘stag night’.

“I loved the city, but it was a bloody awful weekend. All Harry’s friends were straight. They knew I wasn’t, but it was obviously uncomfortable for them. God, the strippers were the worst! Ugly old trouts with waxed pussies like badly made Barbie dolls—hideous!”

I smiled at the image.

“Wouldn’t bother me.”

“Well, it didn’t bother me, but it’s not exactly my cup of tea either.”

“You … drank tea?” I asked, puzzled.

Seth laughed. “Sorry! That’s very British. But your English is so good … it means, not my scene.”

“Oh, okay. I like strippers if they’re good—women or men. I have sex with both.”

“You’ve had sex with strippers?”

“Yeah, but…”

“Really?”

“Sure,” and I turned to watch his face. “Both: men and women.”

His eyebrows shot up and his mouth popped open.

“You … I … really?”

“Is that a deal breaker? You said you didn’t want to play games.”

“You’re really bi?”

“Yeah, I’m really bi.”

“You have sex with women?” he asked, his mouth twisting with dislike.

“Yeah.”

“Often?”

“Jesus! Yes, often. And with men, often.”

“When was the last time you … with a woman?”

“The night before I met you.”

“Wow.” Seth shook his head slowly. “I don’t know what to say.”

My shoulders tensed.

Seth was staring at me, a confused expression of dislike on his face.

Michel’s Review

Jane Harvey-Berrick has taken her writing to a whole new level. Luka, the latest release in the Rhythm Series, is beyond exceptional.  This is a story that can stand on it’s own merit and can be read without reading the first book in the series ( although I would highly recommend reading Slave To Rhythm).

The dance troupe has finished it’s last show and is on break for the next few months.  Rather than returning to the States with the other members of the troupe, Luka chooses to stay behind in London.  He has been in London several times but never had a chance to experience the city because of his work.  One of his troupe mates has offered to let him use her apartment while she is away in Austrailia. Luka seizes the opportunity with high hopes of a delightful holiday.  He never imagined that his life would be ripped apart and forever changed.

Luka is a complex man.  For starters, he’s bisexual.  Although his preferences tend to lead towards men, he also is very attracted to women.  Being bi-sexual, you would think that Luka has very loose morals, which isn’t the case at all.  He’s a man that enjoys one night tryst but he is also a man that values relationships.  He has a certain set of standards that he lives by.  He never sleeps with co workers or other dancers.  He doesn’t want the complications that may occur afterwards.

The last night of their show, Slave, he makes a life changing mistake.  He has a drunken night with one of the other dancers in the troupe.  He loves Sarah dearly as a friend but doesn’t want anything more.  Sarah wants more but is willing to accept Luka’s friendship. She leaves the following day for Australia to reconnect with an old boyfriend.

Luka is enjoying his holiday in London.  He has met a man that he is falling in love with.  Seth is the first person to capture his entire heart.  Luka’s ready to make a commitment to Seth.  Their relationship seems to be moving along brilliantly until Luka is introduced to Seth’s friends.  Seth doesn’t want his gay friends to know Luka is bisexual.  Luka doesn’t like deceiving Seth’s friends.  As their relationship begins to develop some bumps, the biggest hurdle is yet to come.  Sarah is back in London.  Sarah is determined to win Luka’s heart.  She has something that can hold Luka by her side.  The worst part is that she is Seth’s twin sister.  Luka is going to be torn to shreds.

Sarah and Seth will destroy everything good in Luka’s life.  They will destroy the man he is and make him question everything in his life. They will shred every piece of his heart and destroy everything he holds dear.  The power they wield over his life is abusive, horrendous, and spiteful.  After they have completely destroyed him, his friends from the dance troupe in the U.S. will show him the true meaning of love with friendship, support, and family ties.  They will help him find his way back to the caring man he once was.

I have to say I usually hate books that have love triangles.  This book was quite different.  There were no winners where the heart was concerned.  Two people destroyed the one person they loved the most.  That one person, Luka, proved what defines a good, righteous person.  He was a man of honor.  My heart broke for this man.  I just  wanted to hug him tightly and let him know it was going to be okay.

Jane Harvey-Berrick poured her heart and soul into this book.  I cannot express the emotional journey this book took me on.  The writing was flawless.

I highly recommend The Rhythm Series.  This series is unique and has taken on a life of itself.  Each book is emotional, endearing, and riveting.

Synopsis

It’s her turn to drive.

Men take from Jana. Her dad and brother: money. Stage-side gawkers: her dignity. Still, she finished nursing school, won a spot in Manhattan’s top ER—thanks to no man. But when her dad’s business and heart fails, ever-loyal Jana Park must return to the stripper’s pole. Now even her boss’s chauffeur ogles her in the rearview. Faux-kindness—and irrefutable heat—aside, she glares back.

Because screw ’em all.

Chauffeur Antonio Ruiz is done with his cheating wife, the city, the almighty buck. His seaside home in Mexico calls. One last gig for his biggest client, the city’s strip club king, then he’s out. Except that the sharp, exotic, petite powerhouse of a woman he’s been hired to drive—day in-day out, glaring at him with those deep, solemn eyes—takes him over. If he could pierce her shield of doubt, he’d bring her home, far from this hell.

But, no. Jana’s got to take the wheel and drive. Away from her family’s abuse, her boss’s clutches…and toward Antonio’s true brand of love.

The road’s rocky. Will they make it to paradise? Or will it all go south… in the city.

Banner LEGS AVAILABLE NOW

Excerpt

Fuck him…and fuck me!

                  Jana got into the back seat where she intended to stay. For good. She was mortified and angry at the rejection…

                  …and at her life up to the rejection.

                  Fucking alcohol slowing her processes and her goddamn prudence! Her sound judgment!

                 She needed to be alone. To reflect and to decide what the hell she was doing and going to do about everything. Her lost pride and her out-of-left-field feelings or neediness, or whatever the hell that was back there. And yes, what to do about her family and her absolutely fucked future. Yeah, the entire merry go round of fucked.

                  She looked back over her shoulder. He was coming to the car now. God she wanted the divider up so goddamn bad. But of course, she couldn’t have it without getting sick everywhere. So as he reached for his door handle she found her sunglasses, shoved them on, stuffed the ear buds in her ears—yes, his fucking ear buds, ugh!—and readied herself for complete separation. Church and state, client and goddamn chauffeur, her floundering soul and the never-ending ocean of shit her soul was drowning in.

***

She got to the club without a single word to Antonio and decided then that she’d not need him for the next few days. She wouldn’t be going to visit her father, not until Thursday, after she got the money from Johnnie at the theater and from her bank. And she could take a cab to the club from the studio each night or goddamn walk.

She headed to the entrance of The Wet Spot and turned just before going through the doors. Antonio rolled down his window on cue.

“No need to bring me back to the studio tonight. And actually I won’t need you until Thursday morning, nine AM.” And she continued into the club.

Synopsis:
“We were perfect together. Until we met.”

Misha

I can’t help but smile at the words in her letter. She misses me.

In fifth grade, my teacher set us up with pen pals from a different school. Thinking I was a girl, with a name like Misha, the other teacher paired me up with her student, Ryen. My teacher, believing Ryen was a boy like me, agreed.

It didn’t take long for us to figure out the mistake. And in no time at all, we were arguing about everything. The best take-out pizza. Android vs. iPhone. Whether or not Eminem is the greatest rapper ever…

And that was the start. For the next seven years, it was us.

Her letters are always on black paper with silver writing. Sometimes there’s one a week or three in a day, but I need them. She’s the only one who keeps me on track, talks me down, and accepts everything I am.

We only had three rules. No social media, no phone numbers, no pictures. We had a good thing going. Why ruin it?

Until I run across a photo of a girl online. Name’s Ryen, loves Gallo’s pizza, and worships her iPhone. What are the chances?

F*ck it. I need to meet her.

I just don’t expect to hate what I find.

Ryen

He hasn’t written in three months. Something’s wrong. Did he die? Get arrested? Knowing Misha, neither would be a stretch.

Without him around, I’m going crazy. I need to know someone is listening. It’s my own fault. I should’ve gotten his number or picture or something.

He could be gone forever.

Or right under my nose, and I wouldn’t even know it.

Cover Reveal + Giveaway : Hideaway by Penelope Douglas

 

Title: Hideaway

Series: Devil’s Night Series

Genre: Erotic Suspense

Author: Penelope Douglas

Release Date: TBD – 2017

 

Synopsis:
COMING in 2017, HIDEAWAY is the second installment in the Devil’s Night Series! If you’ve read CORRUPT, this is Kai’s story.

Banks

You don’t even see me, do you, Kai Mori? No one does.

I’m the kid in the back, the one everyone dismisses, the no-life street punk with dirty finger nails and ripped jeans.

But I’m quiet, and I do my job. I can hang tough and no one does me any favors. I’ve always been on my own.

But then I see you…

Your perfect black suits. Your clean hands. The way you charge into the room, not afraid of the man I work for, and all of a sudden, I feel different.

Like maybe I want to know what you’re like with a woman.

As quickly as the urge comes, though, it disappears. You see, my boss has an agenda. He’s decided to put me in your path, but what he doesn’t realize is, I have plans of my own. A score to settle.

And you won’t know who I really am until it’s too late.

So sit tight. I’m coming to you.

Kai

You’re wrong. I’ve seen you before.

You’re the girl who looks like a fourteen year old boy and pretends everyone around her is public enemy #1. Yeah, I remember you.

Thunder Bay. Devil’s Night. Four years ago.

But the thing was…when your hat fell off that night, you looked nothing like a boy. And when I put my hands on you, you didn’t feel like one, either.

Now, after all this time, you’re in Meridian City, and while I don’t know who you are or want you want, I can’t wait to find out.

So come on. Door’s unlocked.

Just be warned, though…Devil’s Night is coming again, and I’m not alone this time.

My friends like to play, too.

Note from the Author: HIDEAWAY still has no definite release date. Erotic suspense takes longer for me to write, and while I hate to keep anyone waiting, I know you’d rather have a good book than a quick one. Bear with me. Getting this book to you is a priority. xoxo.

New Release: Bad Boys After Dark : Mick by Melissa Foster

NEW RELEASE……..
Bad Boys After Dark: Mick

Indulge your inner vixen…

You asked for naughtier lovers, with the same fierce loyalty as The Bradens – Meet the Bad Boys… Four sinfully sexy, uber alpha brothers, about to fall head over heels for their leading ladies.
.

Everything’s naughtier after dark…
Amanda Jenner is done being a boring-man magnet and has finally taken control of her love life. As any smart paralegal would, she’s researched the hell out of how to seduce a man. She’s waxed, primped, and ready to put her newfound skills into action—and a masquerade bar crawl is the perfect venue for her solo coming-out party.

Entertainment attorney Mick Bad lives by two hard and fast rules. He never mixes business with pleasure, and he doesn’t do relationships, which makes the anonymity of a masquerade bar crawl the perfect place for a onetime hookup.

Amanda thinks she’s hit the jackpot when she bags a tall, dark, and sinfully delicious masked man—until she discovers the man she’s made out with is her off-limits boss. Mick’s already crossed a line he can never uncross, and one taste of sweet and sexy Amanda has only whet his appetite. When Mick offers to give Amanda a lesson in seduction—no strings, no regrets, and for goodness’ sake, come Monday, no quitting—the tables turn, and Mick’s totally unprepared for the lessons this sweet temptress provides.

The Bad Boys are a series of stand-alone romances that may also be enjoyed as part of the larger Love in Bloom series.

**CONTENT WARNING: Due to mature content, recommended for readers aged 18+**

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo
