My Papai always said wine made everything better. Countless
times he uttered those familiar words to me— “The Merlot will melt your
problems away meu amor. With a good bottle of wine in your hand, you hold the
magical key to anything you want.”

I believed my father whole heartily, until my world came
crashing down on me at twenty-four years old.

It wasn’t going to take wine to help Brody and I find our
way back to one another. It was going to take fighting … not only for our love—

But for my life.

Kelly Elliott is married to a wonderful Texas cowboy who has
a knack for making her laugh almost daily and supports her crazy ideas and
dreams for some unknown reason…he claims it’s because he loves her!

She’s also a mom to an amazing daughter who is constantly asking for something to eat while her fingers move like mad on her cell phone sending out what is sure to be another very important text message.

In her spare time she loves to sit in her small corner
overlooking the Texas hill country and write.

One of her favorite things to do is go for hikes around her
property with Gus….her chocolate lab and the other man in her life, and Rose,
her golden retriever. When Kelly is not outside helping the hubby haul brush,
move rocks or whatever fun chore he has in store for her that day, you’ll find
her inside reading, writing or watching HGTV.

BAND OF BACHELORS: LUCAS BOOK BLURB:

Special Operator Lucas Shipley thought his living arrangement was temporary, since getting booted from the house by his wife. He sleeps on a couch in the apartment with four other divorced Navy SEALs, thinking he’ll get the call to come home any day. He ignores the not-so-helpful advice his buddies are giving him about marriage, women and romance. Until he gets served with divorce papers.

Realtor Marcy Gelland is hired by Lucas’ soon-to-be ex-wife to liquidate all their real estate holdings and help her orchestrate a speedy departure from Lucas’ life. Based on what the hot-headed SEAL wife has told her, Marcy understands Lucas deserves every ounce of pain coming his way.

But when Marcy and Lucas are left alone together in the remote Northern California woods, they ignite a personal bonfire that threatens to burn down the whole forest. Marcy is forced to see she is wrong about Lucas.

Amidst the backdrop of hardened bachelor SEALs with their unsolicited, anti-long-term relationship advice, and a terrorist training camp operating nearby, Lucas must do what he’s always done: be the hero and save the day. But will it be in time to save Marcy?

Michel’s Review

Sharon Hamilton has once again delivered a fast paced, action packed book featuring a sexy, flawed Seal.  I was drawn into the story from page one and the characters quickly grabbed my attention.  Lucas is one the sexiest Seals that Sharon Hamilton has created to date. I could not put the book down until I finished it.

Buy this book! It will not disappoint!

AUTHOR INFORMATION:

SharonHamilton_72dpi_ColorBIO:

Sharon’s NYT and USA Today bestselling novels are almost-erotic Navy SEAL stories of the SEAL Brotherhood. Her characters follow a spicy road to redemption through passion and true love. All of her SEAL Brotherhood Series are available in audio book. She has maintained an Amazon top 100 author status in Romantic Suspense since the end of 2012.

Her Golden Vampires of Tuscany are not like any vamps you’ve read before, since they don’t have to go to ground, and can walk around in the full light of the sun. Honeymoon Bite, Book 1 of the Golden Vampires of Tuscany Series, has earned the Amazon designation of #1 Gothic Romance. It and Book 2 in the series, Mortal Bite are both available on audio as well.

Her Guardian Angels struggle with the human charges they are sent to save, often escaping their vanilla world of Heaven for the brief human one. You won’t find any of these beings in any Sunday school class. All three books in this popular series are also in print and audio formats.

A lifelong organic gardener, Sharon lives with her husband in the Wine Country of Northern California, where most of her stories take place. When she’s not writing, she’s getting verra verra dirty in the mud, or wandering Farmer’s Markets looking for new Heirloom varieties of vegetables and flowers.

EXCERPT

Blake was a little ways ahead, but stopped and turned around. “You okay back there, princess?”

I waved him on. “Don’t worry about me!” I shouted. Picking up my pace, I reached down and grabbed a handful of snow. Each step he took, I did double to catch up to him. My fingers were numb from the snow, but I was almost there. Just a few more steps . . .

Blake sidestepped and tackled me out of nowhere, making me scream. His feet slipped and we both fell to the ground, laughing as we rolled around in the snow. He ended up pinning me to the ground, his legs straddling my waist and his body flush with mine. I shivered and it wasn’t because of the snow.

“You should know better than to sneak up on someone like me,” he said. His eyes strayed to my lips.

“I didn’t think you’d hear me,” I whispered breathlessly.

“You’d be surprised what I notice, princess.” He trailed a finger down my cheek to my rapidly beating heart. “Like how your heart is racing right now. I didn’t know I had that effect on you.” I blew out a nervous breath and he smiled, his lips getting closer to mine. “Tell me what you want,” he murmured.

“I can’t.”

“Why?”

“Because once I say the words, I can’t take them back.”

He brought his hands to my face, his thumbs tracing my cheeks. “Maybe this will help.” His lips closed over mine and I melted against him, willingly giving in. I’d never been kissed like that and I didn’t want it to stop. I wanted more. He pushed his tongue inside and I moaned as the heat rose between my legs. Holy hell, I wanted him. Rocking my hips up into him, I dug my nails in his back and he growled, pulling away.

“Fuck, Hadley.”

“What’s wrong?” I asked, breathing hard.

He brushed the hair off my face and kissed me again. “You make me want things I can’t have.”I nodded. He said exactly what I was thinking. “I know how you feel.”

Rising Storm Episode 5 (Oct. 22): Larissa Ione’s Calm Before the Storm
Amazon ** iBooks ** Barnes & Noble ** GooglePlay

 

Welcome to Storm, Texas, where passion runs hot, desire runs deep, and secrets have the power to destroy…

Nestled among rolling hills and painted with vibrant wildflowers, the bucolic town of Storm, Texas, seems like nothing short of perfection.

But there are secrets beneath the facade. Dark secrets. Powerful secrets. The kind that can destroy lives and tear families apart. The kind that can cut through a town like a tempest, leaving jealousy and destruction in its wake, along with shattered hopes and broken dreams. All it takes is one little thing to shatter that polish.

Reading like an on-going drama in the tradition of classic day and night-time soap operas like Dallas, Dynasty, and All My Children, Rising Storm is full of scandal, deceit, romance, passion, and secrets.

With 1001 Dark Nights as the “producer,” Julie Kenner and Dee Davis use a television model with each week building on the last to create a storyline that fulfills the promise of a drama-filled soap opera. Joining Kenner and Davis in the “writer’s room” is an incredible group of New York Times bestselling authors such as Lexi Blake, Elisabeth Naughton, Larissa Ione, Rebecca Zanetti and Lisa Mondello who have brought their vision of Storm to life.

A serial soap opera containing eight episodes in season one, the season premiere of Rising Storm, TEMPEST RISING, debuted September 24th with each subsequent episode releasing consecutively this fall.

So get ready. The storm is coming.

Cover Reveal: Licked by Brooke Blaine

Licked by Brooke Blaine

Date of Publication: November 11, 2015

Blurb

As the owner of Licked, an eclectic ice creamery and bar, Ryleigh Phillips doesn’t have time for that love stuff. Serving up Nibble My Nuts sundaes and Drunken Sailor boozy shakes are as close to an orgasmic affair as she’s had in months thanks to her expanding empire—until the night of her ten-year high school reunion.

When Ryleigh’s crush, gorgeous ex-football god Cameron Mathis, comes streaking into her life (literally—streaking), she begins to wonder if she really can have it all.

Wouldn’t it just figure that the moment you think life is perfect is when it falls spectacularly apart?

Enter Hunter Morgan, the contractor in charge of Licked’s renovations. Devastatingly handsome, and a smartass to boot, he’s got his eyes on Ryleigh from the moment he finds her passed out on his couch (yeah, that’s a long story). There’s just one tiny complication—he happens to be Cameron’s best friend.

When the lines between relationships and friendships blur, and it’s impossible to choose between two delicious flavors, what’s a girl to do? Taste a sample of each? Or go out and get LICKED?

About Brooke Blaine

You could say Brooke Blaine was a book-a-holic from the time she knew how to read; she used to tell her mother that curling up with one at 4 a.m. before elementary school was her ‘quiet time.’ Not much has changed except for the espresso I.V. pump she now carries around and the size of her onesie pajamas.

Flash Point is Brooke’s debut solo novel, and she is the co-author of the erotic serial, A Desperate Man, with Ella Frank. The latter has scarred her conservative southern family for life, bless their hearts. Licked, a romantic comedy, will be released on November 11th, 2015.

If you’d like to get in touch with her, she’s easy to find – just keep an ear out for the Rick Astley ringtone that’s dominated her cell phone for ten years.

My name is Cassie Healy. I’m twenty-two years old and I’ve
had to sneak around to be able to have a relationship with the man I love
because of my overbearing parents.

So what if Brantley Moxin has a criminal record? He’s who I
chose to be with.

Leaving town was our only option. One night we packed up a
few things and hit the road, bound for a new chance at a future together.

I thought it was going to be beautiful; something my parents
would come to appreciate after time. Instead I’ve been thrown into a life I
wouldn’t wish on anyone. Now I have nowhere to go – a family obviously ashamed
of what I’ve done.

This is my mess to clean up, and I’m afraid I’m in too deep
for that to happen.

Calling Me Home

The Calling Me Series – Book 3

By Louise Bay

Synopsis

Is it possible for a guy to turn on a switch and realize he’s been in love with a girl that’s been under his nose for over a decade? Ashleigh Franklin can’t decide.

Ashleigh wants the fairy tale. Ever since she was a kid, her best friend’s brother, Luke, has been her fantasy Prince Charming. Now he’s trying to convince her that she’s the one he’s wanted all these years. There’s no way it’s that easy to escape the friend zone.

Single after years living with a girlfriend, Luke has finally woken up. What he’s been waiting for has been right under his nose for almost his entire life. Can he persuade her that he’s serious and won’t break her heart?

A Wonder Woman costume, a bottle of tequila and a game of truth or dare between two close friends changes everything.

Tracey’s Review

Finally, FINALLY, Ashleigh and Luke have found their way back to each other. And, really, these two are just wonderful together. Although Ashleigh accepts what Luke has said and known all along, that they belong together, she wants to take things slowly, and Luke is happy to make her happy. It doesn’t take long, though, for them to end up just where they’re meant to be, HEA and everything.

CALLING ME HOME is the perfect ending to this series. Seeing Ash and Luke come to the conclusions that we had known all along is wonderful. Their love story is so romantic, and I loved seeing them come full circle. Having Haven, Jake, and Beth along for the ride makes everything much more fun, and like a visit from old friends. The epilogue is the icing on the cake, as I always want a nice wrap-up, and Louise has done a lovely job of tying things up here.

Reading one of Louise’s books is always a treat for me, and this book and series is no exception. I enjoyed and recommend each book in the Calling Me series, and can’t wait for Beth to get her happily ever after. 5 happy, romantic, couldn’t be sweeter stars for this one.

Her elusive past didn’t worry me,

Her heartbreaking scars never made me cringe,
And her haunting demons only made me a stronger man.
But the day Blake Martin was stolen from me,
I was scared to death.
Prepared to do anything necessary to get her back,
Little did I know it just might cost me my life.
My name is Madden Decker, and this is my story.

5Star
Michel’s Review 
Transparent by Erin Noelle is the epic ending to the dynamic dark thriller, the Luminous Duet.  This book cannot be read as a stand alone novel.  It is continuation of Translucent, book one of the Luminous Duet.
***
Translucent ended with a suspenseful cliffhanger that left readers stunned.  Blake Martin has disappeared and it appears that she has been kidnapped.  Who kidnapped her?  How did they find out her new identity?  Is she going to come out of this alive ?  Will she come out of this more scarred than she already is?  Is Madden going to have any clue how to find her?  So many questions!  Transparent has all the answers and they are not what readers are expecting.  Everything about this conclusion was a complete surprise.  Erin Noelle gave the story twists and turns that readers would not see coming.  She introduced  new powerful dark players to the mix.  She upped the danger level to an all time high.  She also added more sensuality, romance, and gave the characters an epic love story.
***
Transparent picks up right where Translucent left off.  Blake has been taken hostage.  Her new identity has been exposed to her enemies.  Not only do her old enemies know who and where she is, she has a new set of enemies that have their own agenda.  What her captors didn’t count on was her inner strength and will to survive.  This time around she has something worth fighting for.  A future that offers endless possibilities.  A chance to step out of her nightmares and start living the real dream.  What happens during her captivity will astonish the most seasoned reader.
***
Madden Decker is shocked when he learns about Blake’s past.  He’s horrified but at the same time determined to save his sweet girl.  She has become the most important thing in his life.  He will put his life in danger, alienate himself from his family and friends, and defy the FBI to save his woman.  When the truth about her abductors comes out, he is fearful that he may not be able to save her life.  The game has turned in deadly proportions.
***
The stakes are high.  The captors will win at any cost.  It may be the end of Blake’s life.  It may be the end of something that was beyond special.
***
Erin Noelle did a superb job with this entire story, from the beginning to end.  I was glued to the pages.
***
I highly recommend the Luminous Duet.

 

 

 

 

Sometimes you reach a point where you just can’t take any more — a breaking point, some call it.
The day I watched my husband murder the woman who was
pregnant with his child, my point didn’t just break, it exploded like a full
magazine’s worth of hollow points firing through the barrel of a
fully-automatic AK-47.
Literally.
I am no longer his American Princess, nor am I his slave.
Now, I’m a murderer in hiding. My name was Bryleigh Carter Oliveira, and that was my story.
Translucent is one woman’s story of breaking free, starting
over, and learning to trust again through willful submission.

EXCERPT

The soft ding of the elevator stopping on this otherwise quiet floor catches my attention. I practically leap out of my seat, not wanting to be in a position to be talked down to if it is Alexander.

It’s only seven. Most of the employees don’t start rolling in for at least another forty-five minutes, but I know that Alexander is always the first one at the office every morning.

I hold my breath as I hear heavy footsteps head in my direction.

Our gazes meet as soon as he rounds the corner and turns into my office. He’s always so put together, and today is no different as he waltzes toward my desk in his perfectly pressed black suit. I stare into Alexander’s gray eyes, ready to begin our verbal sparring match, but I never get the chance to say a word. He turns without so much as a word to me and storms into his adjoining office, slamming the door shut behind him in the process.

My mouth drops open. So much for my thought-out plan of attack.

I plop down in my chair and do my best to pretend the man, who is now my husband, isn’t on the other side of that door, avoiding me at all costs.

Asshole.

I flip off the door but refuse to go chasing after him to demand answers. If he wants to play ‘let’s pretend last weekend never happened,’ then so be it.

Game on.

Tracey’s Review

When I told you to marry some schmuck for money, I didn’t mean me!

Following the ‘Oh, HECK, no!’ ending of NAUGHTY KING, Book 1 in the Sexy Manhattan Fairytale series by Michelle Valentine, Alexander King and Margo Buchanan are back and in fine form in FEISTY PRINCESS.

After giving in to their mutual combustible passion while on a trip to Las Vegas, the King and his Princess find themselves married. To each other. Which wouldn’t be a problem if they didn’t detest each other so much. Still determined to clear her father’s name, and bail out his failing company, Margo finds the ball squarely in her court, because, no matter what he does, Alexander will find himself one-half poorer. King is nothing if not a brilliant businessman, though, and knows that Buchanan Industries could well slip away from him if he doesn’t play his cards right.

FEISTY PRINCESS is just as infinitely readable as NAUGHTY KING. There is no shortage of sexy-as-sin action, as well as the ever-growing feelings between Alexander and Margo. Michelle also shows us more of the softer side of Alexander, by introducing those closest to him, and offering a look into the man behind the suit. Finally, this wouldn’t be part of the Sexy Manhattan Fairytale without Yamada, and he is in fine form. An instigator to the nth degree, it is also clear that he cares deeply about Alexander, and wants him to be happy. Watching him engineer events to make that happen is the icing on the cake.

As with Book 1, things are left up in the air as FEISTY PRINCESS ends, but this just makes me all the more ready for DIRTY ROYALS, the third and final book of the series. In the meantime, do yourself a favor and grab this flirty, dirty, hot read, and enjoy.
