Blog Tour + Review: Jackson by Siobhan Davis

Jackson - BT banner

“Jackson has everything you expect from a Davis novel: Incredible writing. Multi-dimensional characters. Plot that has you frantically flippings pages. It was devious and dark. Explosive. Hot. Passionate.”- Coralee June, International bestselling author

Jackson, an all-new standalone dark romance in the fan-favorite Rydeville Elite Series from USA Today bestselling author Siobhan Davis, is available now!

Jackson_ecover2 Book 5

The devil came to me in disguise. Too bad I didn’t notice until it was far too late.

Vanessa:

The devil doesn’t always wear an evil mask.

Sometimes, he appears in the most beautiful form.

Like the super-hot bad boy with the dirty-blond hair and a wicked glint in his blue eyes who swept in out of nowhere, stealing all the air from my lungs.

I thought he was my savior.

But he’s my ruination.

And he’s just taken a machete to my heart.

Jackson:

For years, my rage seethed under the surface. Hidden behind a cloudy haze of my poison of choice.

But now, the fog has cleared.

And I’m out for blood.

I will annihilate those responsible for taking my sister from me.

Except he’s not here, so I go for the next best target.

The woman he abandoned.

Until it suited him to drag her into this messed-up elite world.

Sucks to be her.

Because when I’m done with Vanessa, she’ll wish she was dead.

Excerpt

“Enjoy your day off, bitch,” Chloe says as we pull down the blinds and lock the diner up after another busy day.

“Don’t work too hard,” I singsong. I’m in a great mood because I get to sleep late in the morning and I have a full day off to myself.

A throat clearing interrupts our banter. “Is this a good or bad time?” Jackson asks, and the rich undertones in his voice send shivers dancing up my spine.

“Oh, this is a good time,” Chloe answers for me, and I spot a devilish glint in her eye. “A very good time.” She thrusts her hand out. “I’m Chloe. Van’s best friend. You must be Jackson.”

I glare at her. Okay, I’ve got zero game, but that doesn’t mean Chloe has to rub it in.

“You told your bestie about me.” He smirks, and I can’t decide which one of them I want to punch more.

“Didn’t you tell Sawyer?” I ask.

“Guilty. Guess that makes us even.” He flashes me that panty-melting smile, and my lace thong evaporates from my body. Like poof, and it’s gone.

“Oh fuck,” Chloe murmurs, totally getting it now.

“Yep,” I reply, not removing my eyes from Jackson.

“You’re fucked, girl,” she adds, her eyes shamelessly raking over every inch of Jackson’s semi-naked torso. He’s in shorts and sneakers again, and damn, if that isn’t such a good look on him.

“Not yet she isn’t,” Jackson purrs, “but if she keeps looking at me like that, I’ll have my cock buried balls deep inside her before we’ve even gotten upstairs.”

I fan my face while Chloe looks like she might faint. “I’m trying to work out if that’s a threat or a promise,” Chloe admits.

“It’s a promise,” Jackson says, winking at me. “I don’t do threats.”

“He’s a keeper,” Chloe decides, tugging on my arm. “And I’m detouring to Jon’s place because I need his dick now.”

I fight a smile.

Ashley’s Review

Jackson by Siobhan Davis, is book 5 in the Rydeville Elite Series and my favorite book to date in this series!!

Siobhan has made me question my loyalty to Kai with Jackson, because he is literally everything!!!

Jackson has spent the past few years in a blur of drugs, booze and sex. Haunted by the untimely death of his older sister Dani, he’s turned a corner and is now ready to exact revenge on the man who made his sister’s life hell.

Vanessa has had it rough. Her life has been no fairytale. Tormented by her step-monster for years, she’s now left with nothing and no where to go. Cut off from the wealth and her twin siblings, Vanessa is bound to protect them from the tortures she endured.

Jackson and Vanessa are not strangers. They know each other from the past. Vanessa was once that clingy girl with a bad rep and Jackson ignored her advances…. but now, after years of not seeing her… Jackson just may become ensnared with the troubled girl from his past.

This book packs a punch!! Strong characters. Deep intriguing storyline. Chemistry for days!!

Another phenomenal story from Siobhan that is sure have you swooning for Jackson!!

Blog Tour + Review: Titan by Shantel Tessier

Titan - BT banner

I know I have a black soul. Bloodshed and danger are what I live for.

Titan, an all-new, must-read dark and twisted romance from bestselling author Shantel Tessier is available now!

TITAN-Amazon

TITAN

I know I have a black soul. Bloodshed and danger are what I live for.

A King is supposed to rule his Kingdom using any means necessary to demand respect.

I’m not a weak man… A King kneels to no one.

I’ve only ever cared about one other person in my life, but the thing is, she never belonged to me. And before I could tell her how I felt, she left.

Now she’s returned, needing someone to save her.

Emilee York was always meant to be mine, and I’ll see to it that happens. I always get what I want, even if that means I have to take it.

And she’s no different. She’ll be my queen, one way or the other.

EMILEE

When I left Sin City behind me, I had no plans to return. I avoided everyone, even my friends, to stay in my bubble. I’ve always been the kind to pull away and run when things get difficult.

But one phone call changed everything, and I was racing back. If only I had known what was waiting for me.

Titan reappeared like a ghost haunting me.

One look and I knew he recognized me. I never forgot him or what we shared. Those feelings that no one else knew existed between us.

I ignored them back then, but now they are more intense than ever.

“Get on your knees…” He demanded I kneel for him.

I tried to act like he didn’t affect me, but he knew. He remembered the way I reacted when he would touch me. And just like he was taught to do—he used my weaknesses against me.

He staked his claim, and I became his queen to use how he saw fit.

What makes it worse is that I crave him, and when I kneeled, it was willingly.

But was it for nothing?

Excerpt

EMILEE

Titan steps up to me.

“Don’t …”

“Look who found her voice,” he muses.

“Shut up, Titan.” I snap, pulling my cell out of my pocket and dial Jasmine’s number. It rings once, twice. Three times. I pull it from my ear, and he snatches it from my hand. “Hey …”

His smile just widens. “So you do remember me.”

Like I could forget. “Give me my phone back.” I order reaching out for it.

He places it in the front pocket of his jeans. “Drop to your knees.”

“Excuse me?” I blink.

His dark blue eyes look me up and down, and the corners of his lips turn up like he knows a secret. And he does. Several of them about me. “Drop to your knees and I’ll give it back to you.”

My blood boils at his words. “Fuck you!”

He steps into me, pressing my back into my door, and I gasp in surprise. I thought he was big, but his hard chest presses into mine, and I have to tilt my head back to look him in the eyes. Even with my heels on, this man towers over me. I always liked that about him. He’s the tallest of all the Kings.

The scent of his cologne hits my nose, and I hate how much I like it. It brings back old memories that I want to drown in, but I make myself stay here in the present. The light pole I parked under casts a shadow over his chiseled face, making it glow like a ghost from my past.

“We came close that one time.” His eyes go to my chest, and I know he can feel my heart pound against his. He reaches up and runs his knuckles over my neck. His skull ring burns the skin, making me shiver. “So fucking close. It was the only time I could actually tolerate you.”

“Titan.” I swallow, trying to calm my nerves.

“Yeah, Em?” he asks as his eyes roam my face.

A fucking whimper comes out when he calls me by my old nickname. Then my breath quickens when he places his hands on my face, caging me in.

4.5star

Ashley’s Review

Titan is the first book in a brand new series by Shantel Tessier. This book is Shantel goodness filled with lots of steam and lots of secrets!!

Titan is a King. Sitting at the top of the Kingdom Empire with Bones, Cross and Grave he knows everything that happens in the city that never sleeps.

Emilee left Vegas years ago and has been residing in Chicago but soon finds herself returning to Sin City.

Titan and Emilee haven’t seen each other in years but when they come face to face sparks will fly!!

Titan and Emilee are freaking fire!!! Their chemistry is off the charts!

Another great story from Shantel! This book is everything you want from a Shantel Story! This book has intrigue, dark secrets and lots of hotness.

4.5 stars!

Title: Savage
Series: Rosewood High #3
Author: Tracy Lorraine
Genre: YA/NA High School Bully Romance
Release Date: May 21, 2020

 

Blurb

I had the life most guys only dreamed about: the house, the parties, the girls… until one girl showed up and ruined it all.

She doesn’t belong here. Not in the bedroom across the hall. Not in my house. Not in my town. And certainly not in my life.

It wasn’t really her fault… or mine.

We were caught up in the sins of our parents.

She thinks she’s strong, but she doesn’t have a clue as to what I’m capable of.

My name is SAVAGE after all.

I will break her…

But uncovering her secrets just might destroy me.

Ashley’s Review
Absolutely Fantastic Story!!
Tracy Lorraine continues to elevate this series with each book she releases. I continue to fall in love every time a new Rosewood High story comes out.
Ethan Savage is the guy who seems to have it all, popularity, good looks and wealth but not all is as it seems. Ethan is struggling to cope with changes to his family dynamic, one that puts him in a dark space.
Raelynn has never known stability. Being forced to move constantly because of her single mother, things have never been easy for her. Especially once she meets Ethan Savage.
This story is explosive!!!! Lots of heat, tons of push and pull and angsty AF!! It’s the perfect ingredients for an amazing story!!!
If you enjoy enemies to lovers and complex and memorable characters then you need to read this story!!!
5 stars!!!

New Release + Giveaway + Review: Diamonds In The Dust by Charmaine Pauls

 

Title: Diamonds in the Dust:

A Diamond Magnate Novel

Series: Diamonds are Forever Trilogy #1
Author: Charmaine Pauls
Genre: Dark Romance

Release Date: May 19, 2020

Blurb
Men like us, we see things.
We do things, things that make us unfeeling.

That’s the price of power and money, of living la belle vie and running the French mafia. Then she came along like a pretty wildflower pushing through the cracks on a dirty pavement—fragile yet resilient, a breath of beauty among the filth. She was supposed to be just another job, a nameless person I was to pluck from her life and hand to my brother, nothing but a pawn in the gamble of our diamond business.

There’s a psychological label for men like us.
We lack empathy and guilt.
We do things to have what we want, things that make flowers wilt.

(Diamonds in the Dust is Book 1 of the Diamonds are Forever Trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger. Diamonds in the Rough (Book 2) releases on 14 July 2020 and Diamonds are Forever (Book 3) on 15 September 2020.)

Excerpt
His tone is gentle, one you’d use trying to coax the truth out of someone. “Why were you still a virgin?”
“I was waiting for the right man,” I say like it doesn’t matter.
He nods, a silent acknowledgment of understanding. There’s no remorse in his voice when he says, “No man can be more wrong than me.”
I’m shaking violently when he picks me up, sheltering me against his chest. He carries me inside and easily closes the door balancing me in one arm. He goes to the bathroom and lowers me onto the rug next to the bath. I wrap my arms around myself, shivering as I watch him open the tap to let the water run warm. The petals and candles are gone. The bath has been cleaned. Housekeeping came in while we were having dinner.
The bath is only a quarter full when he slips his palms under the jacket and brushes it off my shoulders, carelessly disregarding the expensive garment crumpled on the floor. He picks me up and puts me on my feet in the bath. Taking a jar of bath salts from the edge, he empties the whole jar in the bath and scoops water into the jar that he empties over my shoulder.
The warmth dispels the cold. My skin contracts with goosebumps. He refills the jar and drains it over my other shoulder. He does the same with my front and back, and then he crouches down to soap a sponge. He starts at my waist, dragging the sponge from my hip to my thigh before squeezing out the sponge and letting the soapy water run down my calf. Meticulously, he washes me, stroke by gentle stroke removing the blood and the cold.
The bathroom is warm, but I’m still shivering. When the bath is half-full, he turns off the water and guides me to lie down. Twisting my hair in a knot, he trails it over the edge of the bath. The water stings between my legs, but heat envelopes me, melting the last of the bitter frost under my skin and calming my shivers. All the while, he continues to bathe me, washing away the remnants of our coupling in a strangely humble way as if I’m the princess and he the servant.
When my skin starts to wrinkle, he pulls the plug and takes my hand to help me out of the bath. Draping a fluffy towel around me, he dries my body. When not a patch of wetness is left on my skin, he leads me back to the room and makes me sit on the loveseat while he strips the sheets off the bed, leaving the duvet. Folding it back, he looks at me in silent command.
I’m spent. My fight is cold. I get up without arguing, dropping the towel at the side of the bed before getting in. Turning on my side, I face the wall. He gets in beside me, flicks off the lamp, and spoons me from behind with an arm he throws over my stomach to anchor me to him.
Our breathing is quiet. We’re both awake, but neither of us speaks. Light from the streetlamps falls through the window into the room. It plays over the walls, creating a shadowed reflection of the free world outside.
After a long while, he says into the darkness, “If I had the time, I would’ve made you fall in love with me first.”
At the words, I stop breathing.
They’re meant to be a consolation, but they’re stunningly cruel.

Ashley’s Review

Storyline: 5 stars

Characters: 5 stars

Heat Factor: 5 stars

Overall Rating: 5 stars

Diamonds in the Dust is book 1 in a new trilogy by Charmaine Pauls. Set in a mafia world, we get the beginning of a very enthralling story of Maxime and Zoe. This story is sure to get that heart rate up and leave you begging for more!!
Like other novels by Charmaine, she possesses a true art of creating menacing alpha males that we can’t help but love. Maxime is no different in that he’s cruel but deep down caring.
When he decides to take Zoe Hart as collateral to use against her brother he has no idea what this beautiful feisty girl will make him feel.
Zoe Hart is strong. Faced with uncertainty and at the mercy of Maxime, she is bound and determined to fight and give this hot French Alpha a run for his money!
This story was so well written. I love the buildup in this story. There’s so much going on that readers will be captivated from start to finish. The character development is phenomenal. Charmaine continues to give us such multi-layered characters that readers can’t help but become attached to them.
And let’s not forget that ending?!?!? Can you say holy book hangover!!!
***This books ends in a cliffhanger***
This is a great start to this Trilogy and I can’t wait for the next book!!!

About THE NAUGHTY PRINCESS:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Claire Contreras comes a new story in her Sexy Royals series…

Princess Pilar is tired of playing by the rules. She’s sick of the spotlight and being seen as the uptight goody-too-shoes the media has cast her to be. She’s especially tired of the fact that her brothers are allowed to run off and do whatever they want while she sits inside watching the world pass her by. That’s why she decides that while her older brothers are off on their usual summer holidays, she’s going to quietly pack her things and travel to the one place her parents have always forbidden her to step foot on – Ibiza.

As the star of the French premiere fútball league, Benjamin Drake has it all – the money, the cars, the clothing contracts, and any woman he wants. Problem is, the only woman Ben has ever wanted badly enough to stop partying is Princess Pilar, the one he can never, ever have. Despite his fame and achievements, in Pilar’s world, she’ll always be royalty and he’ll always be a kid from the wrong side of the tracks who got lucky. He’d never be accepted. He knows that. Yet, when he spots Pilar partying at the same club as him, all bets are off. He’s determined to get her in his bed, even if it’s just for one night.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Tracey’s Review

What do a rule-following princess, a sexy futball star, and a summer in Ibiza have in common, you ask? They’re at the heart of THE NAUGHTY PRINCESS, the new novella in the Sexy Royals series by author Claire Contreras.

The Sexy Royals series and 1001 Dark Nights is a match made in romance heaven. Having read THE SINFUL KING, I already knew that I was going to like Princess Pilar’s story, and THE NAUGHTY PRINCESS, a sizzly steamy semi-forbidden romance, hits all of the marks.

As French royalty, Pilar knows all about following the rules. But when a summer away from it all brings her and her longtime crush together, Pilar is ready to do a little rule breaking with pro athlete and playboy Benjamin.

What begins as a sexy ‘what happens in Ibiza stays in Ibiza’ interlude turns into something much more, because even though these two couldn’t be more different, what they end up finding in each other is more than just a fling.

Now that both Pilar and her brother Elias have found their HEAs, only one royal sibling’s story remains. I can’t wait to see what Claire has up her sleeve for bad boy Aramis, because it promises to be all kinds of good. In the meantime, grab the first two sexy royals and enjoy. ❤️

Synopsis: 
“Cross one, cross all.”
That’s the Brayshaw way. 
She should have realized this before sliding into our world with secrets too big to bury.
She didn’t and now the target is on her back.
The day her lies came crashing down, I should have forced her out.
Instead, I locked her in, and with the promise I would never be hers. 
I resisted, fought against us.
I caved. 
I tasted what became my newfound favorite flavor and fell hard for the little liar.
But then the depth of her treachery reveals itself, and with it a reminder.
Our town is a twisted place, and with truth comes trouble.
In the blink of an eye, my world is split at its core, and I’m faced with an impossible decision, one that leads to a single outcome…
Betrayal.
