**Warning: This book is a wild, sexy beast of a read. 18+**
Putting a woman on her knees before me is what really makes my cock hard. I fuck with dominant force and absolute control. I demand complete surrender from my conquests.
Savage man, loner, warrior… I am dangerous at my core. I have lived amidst the untamed wild of the rainforest, in a society that reveres me and where every woman falls before me in subjugation.
Now I’ve been discovered. Forced to return to a world that I have forgotten about and to a culture that is only vaguely familiar to my senses.
Dr. Moira Reed is an anthropologist who has been hired to help me transition back into modern society. It’s her job to smooth away my rough edges… to teach me how to navigate properly through this new life of mine. She wants to tame me.
She’ll never win.
I am wild, free and raw, and the only thing I want from the beautiful Moira Reed is to fuck her into submission.
She wants it, I am certain.
I will give it to her soon.
Yes, very soon, I will become the teacher and she will become my student. And when I am finished showing her body pleasure like no other, she’ll know what it feels like to be claimed by an uncivilized man.

“Danny, you don’t just hug random women without introducing
yourself first. My Lord, it just comes off creepy.” The strawberry blonde woman

Cate and Elliot. “Hi, I’m Julie Marcus; the hugger is my husband, Danny.”
AUTHOR BIO:
Lisa N. Paul is a wife, mother, daughter, sister, friend,
reader, writer, blogger, and self-proclaimed comedian—just not always in that
order. Ever since she was a little girl, she has devoured books. Falling
in love with the Sweet Valley High series at a young age drew Lisa to series
books and inspired her to write her own. Thursday Nights is
the first book in her Charistown series.
When not writing, Lisa can be found eating french fries and Godiva raspberry
truffles, or hanging out with her husband and two sons.
Breaking To Breathe is book three in the Charistown series. It can be read as a stand alone novel or in series order. I highly recommend reading this series in order because the reader gets an overall feel of the dynamics of Danny’s on Main, the bar on which the series is built upon. You get to meet the charismatic characters, their group dynamics, their individual quirks and strengths, the comradery that brings them together as a family, and lastly their individual stories that endear them to the readers hearts. Each book is very well written and keeps the reader’s attention to the very last word.
Breaking To Breathe is Kyle Marx’s story. Kyle is the guy we have grown to dislike in the previous two books. He is a player, he has no respect for women, he is arrogant, cocky, at times a drunk, and general ass. He is on a path to self destruction and has reached the point of rock bottem. But like most people, he has many hidden layers. What people see on the surface is a façade to hide the inner turmoil this man has endured all of his life. He has reached the point where he ready to die just to find peace from his inner demons.
One stormy night, one horrific accident, and the face of an angel will lead Kyle on a new path. First he will have to confront his demons, cleanse his soul, and let go of the past. Only his angel can understand his pain and torment. Only his angel can give him the peace he so desperately needs.
Cate has been hiding from life. She would rather be invisible than be recognized for the strong, compassionate woman she is. She has had a horrific past that has scarred her soul. Her pain was exploited in the past. She only wants to move forward in life, keep her emotions to herself, and exist in an uncomplicated world. She does not need or require any attention to have this peace. If she wants interaction with other people, mainly the opposite sex, she is going to do it on her terms and by her rules. One night only and no repeats. But one night, one accident, one man, and one place, Danny’s on Main will change everything she ever thought she wanted or needed.
One stormy night, one horrific accident, two broken people will come together and find that there is peace. They will find that love really does exist. Their story is explosive.
Breaking To Breathe is a highly emotional book. At times it will be hard to breathe when you see what Kyle and Cate have experienced in life. You will admire their strength of survival. You will rejoice when these two beautifully broken people finally find that there are rainbows in life.
Lisa N. Paul has wrote another five star book. I highly recommend Breaking To Breathe and the Charistown series. This series will keep you captivated !
This sexy, steamy contemporary romance will leave you yearning for more. Which is perfect since this is the first book in the Charistown series.* Even though this is a series, each book can be read as a stand alone novel.*l

Excerpt for Very Wicked Things
Book #2 of the Briarcrest Academy Series
by Ilsa Madden-Mills
I got out of the shower and dressed hurriedly, anxious to get back to Cuba.
The door opened, and like he did it every single day, he stepped inside the steamy bathroom.
“Think I need a shower, too,” he said, his fingers easing off his football practice shirt.
What? Now?
Trying to play it cool and failing miserably, I moved my eyes off his naked chest and checked out his track pants and the obvious bulge he sported.
Oh. Did his lower body match the rest of him? Was it all sinewy muscle and big?
Just, yeah. That thought got stuck in my head and went round and round.
“You staying?” he asked, a grin working his face. Pleased at my open admiration, probably.
“No,” I said, but made no move to go. ‘Cause I had no shame when it came to catching a glimpse of his muscular body.
“Good,” he said, his smile broadening.
He pivoted to turn on the shower, and my eyes betrayed me again, admiring the muscles in his back, checking out how they twitched and rippled when he moved. Football and rowing had been good to him. My fingers itched to know how they’d feel underneath my hands. Which was stupid because we had nothing in common. Not a rich Highland Park boy and a poor girl from Ratcliffe.
And most importantly, he was a player, not to be trusted.
He hooked his thumbs into his pants, paused a moment—maybe waiting to see if I’d run from the room?—but when I didn’t budge, he slid them and his underwear off. My mouth opened. Cuba Hudson, the most popular guy at Briarcrest was standing right in front of me, naked and beautiful. And like the cocky bastard he was, he posed for me, his big-ass biceps and chiseled abs making me vibrate all over. Need for him slammed into me.
Did I say he was hot?
Well, I was wrong.
He was off-the-charts, no-holds-barred, freaking going make-me-lose-my-mind-right-there delicious. The ultimate man-candy, the kind I knew to stay away from, yet here I was, ogling him.
“Still leaving?” he asked huskily.
“Any minute,” I said in a weak voice, backing up to the wall and propping myself up. “Just chillin’. Shower wore me out. I might need to hold this wall up for a sec.”
“I want you to stay,” he said, eyes at half-mast, glowing with heat.
“Why?” I said, aching to touch him. But that was crazy. I was a virgin, and I didn’t know jack about touching a guy’s you-know-what.
“Look at me, Dovey.”
I tore my eyes from his manhood, blushing.
His eyes burned. “There’s a sense of urgency in my head. Like our time is limited.”
I nodded. Yeah, same here.
“And, I’ll be honest, I don’t want to rush you, but I’m dying to sink into you. I want to set you on fire with need for me.” He ghosted his hands over the steel rod between his legs. Once, twice, and—holy shizzle, he didn’t stop.
My chest rose faster and faster, and I tried to chill-out, but I couldn’t.
He lowered his voice. “Kiss me again, Dovey.”
Oh. “That’s a terrible idea, Cuba. Cause you’re naked, and I’m turned on because you’re naked. And you’re touching yourself. And you’re naked.” I sucked in a sharp breath. “Not a good combo. Odds are we’ll end up in that shower together or back in your bed doing the double-backed monster.”
“Then join me in the shower. I’ll be good. For you.” He arched his back, his hands still doing that back and forth that was driving me insane.
Liar, liar, pants on fire, I thought. No way he would he be good.
Because he was the Heartbreaker of Briarcrest Academy.

About Laurelin Paige
Laurelin Paige is the NY Times and USA Today Bestselling Author of the Fixed Trilogy. She’s a sucker for a good romance and gets giddy anytime there’s kissing, much to the embarrassment of her three daughters. Her husband doesn’t seem to complain, however. When she isn’t reading or writing sexy stories, she’s probably singing, watching Mad Men and the Walking Dead, or dreaming of Adam Levine.

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.
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!”
~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.
Red Hot Reads by Harlequin: BURNED by USA Today Bestselling Author Sarah Morgan, CROSSING THE LINE by NYT Bestselling Author Megan Hart, or the combo title TANGLED UP which is both BURNED and CROSSING THE LINE.
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….
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.

—This can’t go anywhere. You know it, he knows it. So why stop now?
—Even when it gets more intense. Even when you push every limit you both possess…
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.

About the Authors
Megan Hart
HomecomingShe made “improvements.”
The StandMegan began writing short fantasy, horror and science fiction before graduating to novel-length romances. In 1998, now a stay-home mom, Megan took up writing in earnest, attending her first writing conference and getting her first request for a full manuscript. In 2002 she saw her first book in print, and she hasn’t stopped since.
She’s published in almost every genre of romantic fiction, including historical, contemporary, romantic suspense, romantic comedy, futuristic, fantasy and perhaps most notably, erotic. She also writes non-erotic fantasy and science fiction, as well as continuing to occasionally dabble in horror.
Megan’s goal is to continue writing spicy, thrilling love stories with a twist. Her dream is to have a movie made of every one of her novels, starring herself as the heroine and Keanu Reeves as the hero. Megan lives in the deep, dark woods with her husband and two monsters…er…children.
With her blue-black hair and striking green eyes, Cailin Jamenson is the epitome of beauty and the exemplar of strength. She has fought the enforced boundaries of being the lone Jamenson daughter and Redwood Pack princess, but it is the potential future with the dark wolf in her path that threatens everything she thought she desired.
Logan Anderson’s own darkness provided the reasoning for his abandonment of his former Pack, the Talons. Now, newly accepted into the Redwood Pack, this jade-eyed wolf and all she represents could be his own undoing.
In this final installment of the Redwood Pack, unimaginable tragedy strikes, and the two wolves who have fought the longest for their independence now face the uncertainty of fate and the epic battle that could end the war… and their lives.
Cailin is a Jameson through and through. She is feisty and dominant. But she is the last of her family without a mate. She found a potential in Logan, but fights the pull she feels towards him with everything she has.
Logan is waiting not so patiently for Cailin to give in to their potential bond. But when tragedy strikes she comes to him looking for comfort and finds so much more.
This book is a great addition to the Redwood Pack series. It includes all of our favorite characters from books past and wraps up everything nicely. The writing was on par with all of the other books. The cast of characters had a depth and connection akin to real life families. There was humor and sex in nice amounts. The action was exciting and interesting. Fans of the Redwood Pack will rejoice in the conclusion of the big battle that has been developing throughout the series.
But don’t be too sad, there is another book to follow about our beloved Omega.

When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Indiscretion: Volume One
F*ck and chuck. Pump and dump. Hit it and quit it. One night stand. Didn’t matter how I branded it—that’s all she had wanted it to be. That much was clear when she left me with my pants down and my dick still out.
What she hadn’t counted on was fate intervening and our worlds colliding—again.
The day I showed back up in the life of Chloe Griffins, I knew I had to have her again. My body was hungry for another taste. Like an addict, I’d been craving another hit for months, and there she was—flesh and bone, tits and ass.
The fact that she worked for the competition should’ve been reason enough for me to leave her alone. I had a job to do that summer and f*cking Chloe wasn’t part of it. But I was like a man possessed.
I’d do whatever it took to haveher again.
Excerpt:
“Enough talk about the heavy stuff. Let’s get back to finding a guy for me to flirt with tonight.”
“I thought we’d already found one.” She nodded mischievously toward the insanely hot guy with the blue eyes.
“Yeah, right,” I scoffed. “A little out of my league, I think.”
“Oh please,” Jackie frowned. “For all we know, he could be covered in back hair and have a small dick.”
I burst out laughing and gave my friend a light smack across the arm. It took me a minute to catch my breath. “You’re horrible,” I grinned at her. “Do you know how long it’s been since I flirted with someone? Maybe I should start with more of an average Joe.”
I was in the mood for some innocent fun tonight. Being away from home and all the memories and responsibilities it held seemed to have had that affect. Even so, I had a feeling any conversation with the blue-eyed stranger had the potential to turn into something not entirely innocent.
“Alright then.” Jackie leaned in to give me a hug as the rest of the bridal party returned from the bar and placed down a variety of drinks and . In the spirit of the evening, I picked up a shot of God-knows-what neon concoction and held it in the air. The other girls followed suit.
Smiling at my friend, I shoved down the lump of nostalgia. “I’d like to propose a toast to Jackie and her upcoming nuptials. May she and Rob have a long and happy life together, full of nothing but love, trust, joy…and because it’s Jackie, a whole lot of mind-blowing sex.”
All the girls cheered and clinked the assortment of drinks and shots before tossing them back. Jackie beamed. Whether a result of alcohol, love, or the fact that I was looking to have a little fun, I couldn’t be sure. I hoped it wasn’t the latter or my friend would end up disappointed. Despite what I’d said, I had no intention of pursuing anything beyond a mild flirtation with anyone—blue-eyedstranger included.
For the first time since their relationship started, Fin and Marisol are on different pages in the bedroom, but Marisol is determined to make their last few days together count. Each moment is precious, but each shreds her fragile heart a little more. Can they get back on track and figure out a way to stay together even with thousands of miles between them?

Tracey’s Review
In this fourth episode of the ‘Deep Surrendering’ series by Chelsea Cameron, Marisol and Fin are back, and they’re still as hot and crazy as ever.
The feelings between Marisol and Fin have continued to grow. Now that they’ve been able to really get to know and accept each other for who they are, they are doing their best to have an actual relationship. There are still secrets in Fin’s past, but as he and Marisol grow more deeply involved, those things are revealed, things that make Fin the person that he is today.
I am really enjoying this series. The storyline flows nicely from one serial installment to the next, and it’s very easy to keep up. As well, I feel more and more attached to Marisol and Fin, and invested in their story. Fin is still all sorts of messed up, despite Marisol’s love and support. Even with all that he has materially, he has not had an easy time of things in his life, and my heart goes out to him. Watching him fight to break down the walls that he’s built to protect himself, with Marisol’s help, makes me hopeful that they’ll finally get their happily ever after. Not that it’s going to be easy to get there, because it wouldn’t be an a angsty romance without some trials along the way. Add to the romance and angst some super-hot sexy times, and I cannot wait until Episode 5 comes out so that we can see what’s in store for these two.
Excerpt
“He’ll um, be right down. Please take a seat,” she said, gesturing to the leather chairs. “May I get you anything, Miss Everly?” Oh, now that she knew who I was, she was going to be nice to me? That didn’t make me feel very good.
“No, thank you,” I said, my voice cool as I went to take a seat and wait for Fin. I patted myself on the back for deciding that showing up wearing just a trench coat and nothing else was a bad idea. The receptionist would have seen right through that and probably would have thrown me out before I could even ask for Fin.
I heard him coming down the hall before I saw him.
“Marisol? What are you doing here?” He was bewildered and concerned and shocked. I’d kind of hoped for excited.
My eyes flicked to the girl at the desk, who was pretending to be immersed in her work but was clearly eavesdropping.
“I came to see you and ask if you’ll have dinner with me tonight.”
