Synopsis

Happily ever after.

That was what we were supposed to have.

Pudding cups, sandy toes and a lifetime of making each and every one of our dreams come true—that is the future I’d promised her.

I could see it in my dreams, hold it in my hands, but then I watched as all of our hopes and wishes suddenly slipped through my fingers like sand.

I thought the worst was behind us, but what if we’d just delayed the inevitable?

They say love can overcome any obstacle. But can it survive death?

The breathtaking love story of Lailah and Jude concludes in Beyond These Walls.

Excerpt

“You’d really forgo everything and marry me tomorrow?”

Rolling over, he pinned me beneath him, encapsulating me between his strong muscular arms. My fingers instinctively traveled up over the intricate black ink of his arm.

“In a heartbeat. But you’re right. Our mothers would kill us if we didn’t let them witness this day. So, we will be good, and I’ll give you the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. And then, my bride to be, you and I will spend the next three weeks in . . . oh, right. I can’t tell you. It’s a surprise.”

I shook my head, letting out a puff of air in frustration. “Jerk.”

“Such language.” He laughed.

“Why does it have to be a surprise, Jude?” I whined, wrapping my arms around him. “Ireland was enough of a surprise for an entire lifetime. You don’t have to keep trying to dazzle me,” I said.

His head lowered, and I felt the wisp of his lips touch my cheek.

“Actually I do,” he whispered. “Every day for the rest of our lives, I’m going to do just that. You deserve to be dazzled, Lailah.”

Grind Synopsis:

Grind (verb): to weaken or destroy gradually

Macy Carrington is not the woman I once thought her to be.

What she does not allow her heart to feel, she gives with her body. The sex between us is explosive and depraved. I’ve done things with her that would never have crossed my wildest imagination, and I can’t ever seem to get enough.

But now I want more from her. I want to figure out her dark secret, expose it and then help her to heal from it. I know, without a doubt, that Macy is capable of love, and I will grind her down until I make her accept the truth of it.

Grind (verb): to wear down, polish, or sharpen by friction

Cal Carson is not the man I once thought him to be.

Strong, determined, sexy as hell and a beast in the bedroom. He is every woman’s fantasy.

He is my fantasy.

But no matter how hard Cal tries to grind me down, my heart and secrets are mine and mine alone.

Michel’s Review

Grind is the second book in the Legal Affairs Story about Cal and Macy.  In the first book Clash ,the reader had an introduction to the characters and their personality clashes.  Cal and Macy are tied to one another through their mutual friend , Mac.  Although these two clash about everything, there is one area where they are compatible, the bedroom.

After a spontaneous hook up both Cal and Macy have retreated back to their normal behaviors.  For Macy is the loose and carefree life.  For Cal it is the laid back but steady even keel kind of life.  Cal wants to find a woman he can commit to, Macy never wants to be tied down.  She doesn’t want any emotional involvement.  It is hard for Cal to respect a woman like Macy.

When Macy gets into some legal trouble, Mac turns to Cal for help.  Cal takes on Macy’s case and learns that there is a lot more to Macy than she lets the world see.  She is an intelligent woman that is compassionate to most people.  It’s hard to understand why a bright woman with so much to offer would push back any kind of emotional involvement.  As parts of the mysterious Macy start to unravel, Cal will find he is falling for the woman he thought he hated.  But she is still hiding too many secrets.  Those secrets are holding her back.

Sawyer delivered another fantastic segment to Cal and Macy’s story.  She surprised the readers with the revelations she made about Macy.  I was under the same kind of impression as Cal.

Sawyer also turned up the heat in this erotic story.  It was scorching hot!  My glasses were steaming up as I read some of these passages.  My temperature was beyond boiling.  Cal has a lot of kink hiding under that Armani suit.  He is just the kind of man to tame the wild & illustrious Macy.

I can’t wait for the final installment.  Look for Yield to release on May 5, 2015

Book # 1 of Cal and Macy’s Story

By Sawyer Bennett

b3f54-goodreads-button

Synopsis

Clash (verb): to conflict, disagree.

It might be fair to say that I despise Macy Carrington. She slings insults with precision, not caring about the destruction she leaves in her wake. We clash in a battle of wills every time we’re around each other, and yet… I still fantasize about being lodged deep within her body.

Clash (verb): to come together or collide.

I have never encountered someone that grates me the way Cal Carson does. His pompous, arrogant demeanor. A holier-than-thou attitude. Any interaction with “Saint Cal” ends in a verbal clash of epic proportions, and yet… there’s no one I’d rather have in my bed than him.

Clash (noun): a battle, fight or skirmish.

Her breathy moans mingle with the sound of our flesh coming together, clashing with the silence that surrounds us, dispelling any notions I once had about Macy Carrington.

Maybe I can break down her walls if we can call a truce to this battle.

He whispers filthy words in my ear, provoking feelings I never knew were possible. The burning desire in his touch clashes with everything I once believed about Cal Carson.

Maybe he can be the balm I need to soothe my broken soul, if only temporarily.

Happy Release + Review: Too Hot To Trot by Becky McGraw

**BLOG TOUR**

April 21st- May 1st

Too Hot To Trot (Cowboy Way 3)

New York Times, USA Today & Amazon Bestselling Author

Becky McGraw

 BLURB:

 

Heather Morrison wants to become a country music star, and she is not going to let any man get in her way. She’ll gladly take their money as a dancer at
the Crazy Cowgirl, but has no use for them otherwise. The night she sees her dreams finally coming true, the best night of her life quickly becomes the
worst, when a stagehand catches her unaware outside the arena. The last man on earth she wants to save her, moody and judgmental Zack Taylor, her best
friend’s brother, a man who once called her too hot to trot, is the one who comes to her rescue.

 

Zack Taylor has life by the balls. He’s at the top of the game as a bull rider, owns a rough stock herd which is his retirement plan, and has a life plan
which includes riding two more years, then settling down with a good woman on his own ranch. Those plans go straight to hell when he puts on his white hat
for a woman who has caused him nothing but problems as long as he’s known her. Not minding his own business costs him a lot, maybe even his career.

 

When Heather insists on being the one to help him get back on the bull, Zack is leery, but soon sees he has no choice but to accept her help. Being close
to her, he realizes there is a lot more than meets the eye where sexy Heather Morrison is concerned, and there could be reasons she appears to be the
fastest girl in town. Zack soon wants to know all of her secrets, but could knowing them change his opinion about her? And with that change could helping
her become more important to him than his plan, because he wants to keep her in his life for good?

 All Books in the Cowboy Way Series are standalones.

Excerpt

 

“We’re having a threesome,” Zack announced with a grin.

Heather was comfortable with her battery-operated-boyfriend, and maybe that would help them transition to the big show. And he was also curious what he had
to measure up to. He’d never actually used one before himself, he liked doing things the old-fashioned way, so this would be new for him too.

Heather shot up to sit and glare at him. “I don’t think so, cowboy,” she said, scooting toward the foot of the bed. Zack grabbed her arm, and she tried to
pull away.

 

“With Bob,” he clarified, laughter bubbling in his throat. “Where do you keep him?”

 

“Oh!” she said, then her eyes narrowed. “Really?”

 

“Really,” Zack confirmed.

 

Heather huffed a breath as she collapsed on her back on the bed. “You had me scared there for a second.” The tremble in her voice made him sorry he’d
teased her.

 

With a growl, he laid beside her and put his arm over her waist. She looked at him, and he held her gaze. “I will never do anything to scare or hurt you,
Heather. You’re still in control, angel. Always in control. Do you understand?” She nodded, and he kissed her forehead. “Now where does Bob sleep?” he
asked, with a laugh, trying to get her comfortable again.

 

“In the nightstand drawer,” she replied with a giggle. “He has a nice, comfy velvet sleeping bag in there.”

 

“Only the best for Bob,” Zack said. He rolled to the edge of the bed, sat up and pulled open the drawer. Fishing around blindly, his pinkie brushed velvet,
and his hand closed over a very small pouch, which confused him. “Bob’s awfully small,” he commented pulling out the pouch to loosen the strings. He
emptied the small silver bullet and rubber ring out into his hand and was even more confused.

 

“Bob is a vibrator, not a dildo. That’s in the closet, because I kind of bought one that was a little too big.” She rolled up behind him, then sat up to
take the vibrator from his hand. Shoving it into the rubber sheath, Heather slid it onto her forefinger, and wiggled it. “Voila—instant orgasm. No man
needed,” she said smugly.

 

“Yeah, but how will it be with a real man behind the controls?” Zack asked, sliding the rubber band from her finger to put it on own. He wiggled it under
her nose. “Put on your seatbelt, baby—Bob is on the bus, but Zack is driving it to O-town.”

 

 

4.5 Star

Tracey’s Review

Heather Morrison’s life is about to change. An aspiring singer, Heather is on the verge of finally getting her chance at the big time, but just one moment changes everything. Zack Taylor is just where he wants to be. At the top of his game as a rodeo bullrider, life couldn’t look better, but trying to do the right thing has altered his course completely.

Too Hot To Trot is the third book in the Cowboy Crazy series by Becky McGraw, and is the same enjoyable read that I have come to expect from Becky. Heather is a spitfire, relying only on herself after years of having no one else to help her. She will do whatever it takes to keep her past buried, and whatever she needs to get by. When circumstances arise that threaten to reveal what she’s worked so hard to overcome, she’s in need of a helping hand. When that helping hand ends up being Zack, in need of some help himself, neither of them is expecting where things will lead.

Becky is a master of the alpha man meeting his match in a strong woman. Zack is completely unprepared to be bowled over by Heather, and watching it happen is entertaining, hot, and romantic. And Heather gives as good as she gets, but seeing her finally let down her guard enough to trust Zack is heartwarming and swoon-inducing.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book that is by turn funny, dramatic, and downright sexy. 4.5 sassy, steamy, can’t turn the pages quickly enough stars for Becky McGraw and Too Hot To Trot.

I’D GIVEN MY heart to my enemy.

Fallen.

Fallen.

There was no bottom to my affection. No limit to what I would do to protect it.

Jethro was mine and it was up to me….

I was no longer trying to save myself.

From himself.

Sneak Peek Excerpt 

Excerpt from Third Debt by Pepper Winters.

Two Months Prior…

Jethro

I MEANT WHAT I said before.

I meant it with every bone in my body.

Someone has to die.

I still stood by that conclusion. Only, I’d hoped it wouldn’t be me.

Too bad wishes never come true.

I’d always wondered what it would feel like. How I would react, knowing that I’d failed. I’d lain awake so many nights trying to imagine how I would behave when my father finally had enough. I’d scared myself shitless fearing I wouldn’t be strong enough, brave enough, to face the consequences I’d lived with all my life.

But none of that mattered now. I’d done what I swore never to do and revealed myself. My father knew there was no changing me—he would come for me.

But so fucking what?

She’s safe.

That was all I needed to focus on.

I’d done my utmost to be the perfect son, but I’d been fighting an unwinnable battle. No matter how much I wished I could be like them—I wasn’t. And it was pointless to keep fighting.

Not anymore. I’m done.

Michel’s Review

Third Debt, the fourth book in the Indebted Series, by Pepper Winters left me stunned!

The Indebted Series has kept readers addicted to this deliciously dark thriller that exceeds all predictions with each installment to the series.  This series is not a light or whimsical series that leaves the reader feeling warm and fuzzy at the end of each book.  It leaves the reader terrified, confused, and starving for more.

I don’t even know where to begin with my review for Third Debt.  Every thought and prediction that I had for this series has been blown apart within the very first chapter.  As the story progresses it gets even more intense, more frightening, and more lethal.  By the end of the book the reader is left with their jaws on the ground and stunned speechless.

Pepper Winters meticulously chose each word, precisely executed each passage, and intricately wove more complexities into the story.  The twists and turns leave the reader reeling in despair and disbelief.  At the same anxious and hopeful that they misinterpreted the outcome.

Questions were answered from the previous books but led to more and more questions.  Some of the characters showed some of their true colors while others camaflouged their true nature.  New characters and obstacles came into play. In the end it left the reader gutted!

The only thing I can really say about Third Debt…. is WTF just happened?

Pepper Winters is a diabolical genius that is leading the readers down a road that leads to hell!

The fate of his house rests on his shoulders, but no matter how much ice lives inside his heart, Nila flames too bright to be extinguished.

Michel’s Review

A View From Forever by Charles Sheehan-Miles is the latest release in the Thompson Sisters series.  Although it is the latest release in the series, it is not the most current book in present times.  It is now book 3 in the series and goes back to the beginning of Dylan Paris and Alexandra Thompson’s story.  It is the perfect introduction to these characters that have their full story in Just Remember To Breath.  This couple also plays a major part in the Rachel’s Peril series.

The reader gets to meet Dylan Paris and Alexandra Thompson as teenagers.  Dylan is a senior in high school that comes from a troubled past.  He had quit school and gotten into drugs which led to him living on the streets.  After a year on the streets he has cleaned up his act, returned home, and enrolled back in school.  One of his accomplishments is winning a spot as a foreign exchange student for six weeks in Israel.  This is where he meets Alex Thompson.  It is also where he gets a new perspective about the world that alters he original direction after high school.

Alex Thompson has finally found a way to step away from her political family when she obtains a spot on the foreign exchange program.  Although she has different ambitions for her future than what her politically powerful father has for her, she sees this trip as an opportunity that will help her in the future.  What she didn’t count on was meeting a boy that would change her life.

Both Dylan and Alex come from different walks of life and different areas of the country.  In their ordinary world their paths would of never crossed.  For six weeks they will get to know one another and start a relationship that will affect both of their futures.  They will also get some eye opening experiences that will change them and their view of the world.

Once again Charles Sheehan-Miles wrote another captivating segment in the Thompson Sisters series.  He captured the very essence of youthful hope, young love, and new beginnings.  It was perfect for this series.

I highly recommend the Thompson Sisters series.  It is a series filled with romance, deep emotional events, intrigue, suspense, and family saga.  Each and every book has a powerful story that will keep the reader glued to the pages.

Robin’s Review

Alcoholism. Teen pregnancy. Child abuse. Rape. Adoption. Anxiety. Depression. Each of these are social problems or mental health issues that are relevant in contemporary society. These are just some of the topics Trudy Stiles explores in her new adult Forever Family series, but you should also know she writes stories of redemption, family, and love.

Dear Emily was the debut novel for Trudy Stiles. We meet Carly and Kyle in Dear Emily, a couple who desperately want to adopt a child. It’s a story of hope and love for an unborn baby girl named Emily, but this novel is also about a woman named Tabitha who has a background of abuse and finds herself pregnant and scared.

Dear Tabitha is a second-chance romance focusing on Tabitha and Alex, and how the two of them create their own family. It’s an incredibly sweet story of redemption for both characters, and a powerful story of healing, love and family.

Dear Juliet is the final novel of the Forever Family series. It centers on characters Juliet Oliver and Seth Tyson, two friends who started corresponding as pen pals in the fourth grade. Stiles alternates back and forth between each of their points of view, so we are able to read how their friendship evolves over the course of twenty years.

Juliet was adopted by a wonderful couple. She’s been surrounded by love her entire life, but Juliet struggles with knowing she was unwanted by her 16-year-old birth mother. Juliet knows her parents have a letter that was written to her from her birth mother, but she fears what the letter will say. Juliet believes she was a mistake and unwanted, which leads to her becoming emotionally unavailable. She has perfect parents who love her more than anything, but the unread words of her birth mother’s letter hold an incredible amount of power over her.

Seth comes from a wealthy family. It was much better for Seth and his siblings when they were young children, but as the years have passed by, their parents have drifted apart. His father is always gone, and when he does come home, his parents fight. His mother is a heavy drinker. Seth doesn’t feel loved by his parents, and he deals with self-hate for not being able to bring normalcy to his family.

Dear Juliet should not be read as a standalone novel. Stiles ties the Forever Family series together through her characters and their story arcs. A good example of why these novels should be read in order is Seth. His character is introduced in Dear Emily, and he plays an important role in the first two novels of the series. But you should also know that most of Seth’s story in Dear Juliet is new material.

Dear Juliet is about lifelong friendship. Healing. Redemption. It’s a story about best friends who become lovers. It’s an emotional story. There were times the story was very sad, and I really struggled with what Seth and Juliet were experiencing. Please follow these characters through the years, and I promise you will be rewarded. I finished this novel with a huge smile on my face! My rating for Dear Juliet jumped from 4 to 4.5 stars during the last third of the book, and I applaud Trudy Stiles for a very strong ending!

Cover Reveal: 21 Stolen Kisses by Lauren Blakely

 

21SK Redo2.1.3

Amazon ** Barnes & Noble ** Bloomsbury ** ITunes ** Kobo

 

ABOUT 21 STOLEN KISSES:

When I first met him I resisted.
Like any forbidden love, I told myself he was a crush, and it would pass.
That was a lie. It never faded.

And I never expected he would fall for me just as hard.

There were so many reasons that should have kept us apart, least of all, the decade that separated us.
Growing up in New York City, I learned early on that love is a double-edged sword.
Love broke up my parents, love took away my friends, and love — the big, intense, never-been-like-this-beforelove — landed me in therapy.
Now I’m heading to college, and it’s time to give love a clean slate again. But, can I really start over when he’s still in my life?
Because the one man I’ve always wanted, is also the only guy I absolutely can’t have…
And he wants me just as fiercely.

Can I settle for anything less than the love of my life?

21Skteaserkiss

EXCERPT:

I step closer. The current draws me to him; the air between us is charged with ions and electrons. He is the eye of my hurricane; the calm I am drawn to amid the chaos of my home. Here, a mere block away, we are so close to being caught.
But we are far enough away that I feel both safe and reckless. That’s
how I always felt with Noah.
“You can’t picture me causing trouble?”
He shrugs. “Depends on the trouble.”
“You know I’m trouble.”
He nods, the smile erasing itself. “I know, K. I know. Trust me.”
“I do trust you,” I whisper. “With everything.”
He inhales sharply. The look in his eyes says we’re crossing into the danger zone again. It’s the only place I want to be with him. Because when we’re there, nothing between us feels dangerous. Everything feels right.
“I turn eighteen in a few more weeks,” I say, like my birthday is an open invitation for us to slam back into each other.
He nods. “I know.”
A breeze blow by and rustles his hair. A lock falls out of place. Instinct takes over. I raise my hand to reach for his hair.
But he’s faster. He grasps my wrist, and the second he does, the moment expands. It stretches and unfolds into the thing I will replay tonight and tomorrow and the next day. I stare at his hand clasped around my wrist, flashing back to all the times he held my hand, touched my wrist, and ran his fingers along my arm. I shiver as the memories collide, the past slamming into the present.
I look up from our hands to his eyes. Blazing, full of heat. Full of all that restraint from him that I know so well.
“I’m almost out of high school,” I whisper. “Three more weeks till I graduate.”
He closes his eyes. The expression on his face is so pained. I’m supposed to stay away. But all I want to do is be close again.
“I am acutely aware of the dates. Of everything,” he says through gritted teeth. He opens his eyes. “I know everything about you. I know when you graduate. I know when you turn eighteen. I know what we planned. I know you.” Everything comes out like they’re stones in his mouth, hard and hurting. Except the last word, all breath and warmth and whispers. An echo. “You.”
I want it all back, I want to say. But I don’t. I let him drop my hand. It aches from where he touched it.

Only Trick

By Jewel E. Ann

Synopsis

“Don’t Look Back in Anger”

In one night, I lost five years of my life. Here’s what I know …

I was homeless.

I’m a recovering drug addict.

My inked skin crawls from lustful eyes.

I have a serious aversion to women.

My gay partner is a home wrecker.

I own a gun and I’m a damn good shot.

I’m a makeup artist, but it’s an insult to my talent.

I’ve never wanted to possess anything except my Ducati … until I met Darby.

Now here’s what I know since that day in the ER when she pieced me back together … nothing—but a few random thoughts.

My new “friend” is distracting, clingy, and obsessed with acronyms, emojis, and phrases like “breakfast soul mates.”

I didn’t want to like her, but she crawled under my skin and swallowed me whole. Now we’re best friends and she’s my new addiction. I’d drink her from a shot glass, snort her up my nose, or inject her into my veins if I could. What I won’t do … is ever tell her that.

She doesn’t know me … I don’t know me. When those missing years come back, I think she will hate me … I think I will hate me.

 

My parents named me Patrick Roth, and this is my story.

Excerpt

“He’s a makeup artist Gemmie recommended. But he has not, nor ever will be ‘throwing his hat into the ring.’”

“Married?” She grins as if the thought of me being someone’s mistress pleases her. It’s possible all my living relatives are a bit twisted.

I shake my head and smirk. “No, Nana, he’s not married. He’s … gay.”

She throws her head back and slaps her hand against her chest in a fit of laughter. “Oh my goodness!”

“Why is his sexual preference so hysterical?”

“Oh dear…” she wipes the corners of her eyes “…it’s just you have the worst luck in love. When did you find out?”

I reach over and grab a tissue from the sofa table and hand it to her, rolling my eyes. Then I proceed to tell her everything, not leaving out one single detail—including my magnetic attraction to him that shouldn’t be sexual but is.

“Well, dear, you’ve hit the jackpot.”

“What? How have you come to that conclusion from everything I’ve told you?”

“A guy friend who’s gay? I hear they’re every girl’s dream. Except, from the sounds of things, Trick needs to gay up a little more and stop confusing unsuspecting women.”

“Gay up? Who are you?”

She snaps her wrist at me. “I read the tabloids you know.”

“Yeah? Well then you should know that gay doesn’t have a look.”

“That’s the problem. You used to be able to tell by the ear piercing—right for gay left for straight. Or is it the other way around? Anyway, these days everything gets pierced and so it becomes terribly confusing.”

Nana provides nonstop entertainment, and every time I come by to see her I chastise myself for not doing it more often.

“We’re friends, period. And maybe you’re right. If he would ‘gay up’ a little more I might feel the jackpot effect.”

“Yes, shopping, hair, makeup, and chick flicks without competing hormones or competing for the same men.”

“Or wishing he weren’t gay,” I whisper to myself.

She tilts her head to the side, giving me a soft, sympathetic smile. “Or that too, dear.”

Michel’s Review

When I read the synopsis for Only Trick by Jewel E. Ann, I knew this was a book I wanted to read and review.  I am happy to say that this was a very good choice.

What would you do if you met this totally hot guy that mesmerized you?  What could be worse than meeting a guy that seems to be a total jackass but you still want to be around him?  What could be worse than falling for a guy that is gay?  Why won’t this guy gay up so that I am not a tortured soul ?  These are all the questions that Darby Carmichael asks herself daily.  Rather than getting answers that can settle her mind she falls deeper into Trick’s mesmerizing spell.

When Darby met Patrick (Trick) Roth she was mesmerized by his magnetic good looks. The second time she meets Trick, she is still mesmerized even though she knows he’s gay.  The third time she meets him she shouldn’t be mesmerized after he displays his appalling charms.  The fourth time she meets him she finds a person that can be a real friend, the kind of friend she has never had.  The more she is around him, the more mesmerized she becomes.  It’s no longer his looks that keep her under his spell, it is the man he hides under his beautiful tattoos and guyliner.

What starts out as a beautiful friendship turns into something more.  Darby and Trick will find that they are soulmates.  Can they find something more than a deep friendship?  There is a reason that Trick is the way he is.  He has secrets.  He has been damaged.  He lost himself a long time ago and has no clue how to find the man he really is.  The one thing he does know is that Darby completes him like no other person can.  She brings out the best in him and gives him something to look forward to.  She gives him hope.

Can Darby still look at Trick the same way once his secrets surface?  One thing is for sure…when Trick says COME…it’s a demand she cannot say no to.

This is the second book I have read by Jewel E. Ann.  I am very impressed with her writing.  She creates characters that are unique in every sense of the word.  The interactions and snarky dialogue are witty and entertaining.  The emotional depth of her novels pulls at the readers heartstrings.  The journey her characters have to travel will keep the readers immersed into the story until the very last page.

I highly recommend Only Trick by Jewel E. Ann.  It is a delightful and emotional book.
