Dungeon Royale by Lexi Blake Release Day Celebration + Review + **Giveaway**

DungeonRoyalelg

Synopsis

An agent broken
MI6 agent Damon Knight prided himself on always being in control. His missions were executed with cold, calculating precision. His club, The Garden, was run with an equally ordered and detached decadence. But his perfect world was shattered by one bullet, fired from the gun of his former partner. That betrayal almost cost him his life and ruined his career. His handlers want him to retire, threatening to revoke his license to kill if he doesn’t drop his obsession with a shadowy organization called The Collective. To earn their trust, he has to prove himself on a unique assignment with an equally unusual partner.

A woman tempted

Penelope Cash has spent her whole life wanting more. More passion. More adventure. But duty has forced her to live a quiet life. Her only excitement is watching the agents of MI6 as they save England and the world. Despite her training, she’s only an analyst. The closest she is allowed to danger and intrigue is in her dreams, which are often filled with one Damon Knight. But everything changes when the woman assigned to pose as Damon’s submissive on his latest mission is incapacitated. Penny is suddenly faced with a decision. Stay in her safe little world or risk her life, and her heart, for Queen and country.

An enemy revealed

With the McKay-Taggart team at their side, Damon and Penny hunt an international terrorist across the great cities of Northern Europe. Playing the part of her Master, Damon begins to learn that under Penny’s mousy exterior is a passionate submissive, one who just might lay claim to his cold heart. But when Damon’s true enemy is brought out of the shadows, it might be Penny who pays the ultimate price.

Excerpt

A little flare of panic hit his system. Had he been too hard on her? He turned her over, praying she wasn’t crying. He couldn’t handle it if she cried because he’d been too rough.

Her face was flushed, her eyes soft. “Damon?”

She wasn’t afraid of him. Relief rushed through him. “Yes, love?”

“I think I’m a freak.” A smile flashed on her face.

He laughed long and hard because he hadn’t expected that. That summed her up. Unexpected. “Yes, you are. Lucky for you. Being a freak is so much more fun. Do you understand what I want?”

“You want me to be still. You want me to submit.”

Such a smart girl. “Yes. I’ll tie you down if I have to. Don’t think I can’t do it. The bed was custom built. You can’t see it right now, but there’s a whole system under the mattress built for naughty little subs who can’t hold still. Once I’ve got you tied down by your arms and legs, I’ll be able to do anything I want. I’ll be able to torture your little pussy.” He ran a hand over her mound, feeling how wet she already was. “I’ll keep you on edge all day long. You’ll be crying and begging for me to let you come.”

“I’m quite there already, Damon.”

“Not yet, you aren’t. You’ve just had a little taste. He didn’t make you come.”

She shook her head. “No. Never.”

“I make you come. I’m the man who makes you come. Say it.”

“You make me come, Damon. Only you.”

He wasn’t sure he liked the raging jealousy that went through him every time he thought about that skinny accountant putting his hands on Penelope. He had the deepest instinct to obliterate the man. Had Peter told her he loved her? Had he offered the life she deserved? It didn’t matter because he hadn’t been man enough to keep her. It had been easy to find that story. Peter saved his e-mails. He’d talked about how Penelope had gotten so involved in her mother’s care that she hadn’t found time for him. Stupid boy. He should have taken over. She’d been drowning and no one had taken over. No one had walked in and made life easy for her. Her siblings had visited but no one had taken control. He would have moved them both in here and hired a nurse twenty-four seven, costs be damned. He would have made sure Penelope never forgot that she was a woman and not just a caretaker. He would have had her in bed every night screaming out her pleasure, the tension dissolving away in pulse-pounding sex.

He knew what she needed, and he wasn’t going to make the same mistakes. He might not be able to offer her love, but he damn sure could take care of her.

Love was for idiots who didn’t know what the world was really like. What he was offering her was something far more real. A partnership.

“Only me.” He parted the petals of her sex. The need to take her rode him hard. His cock was right there. He was hard and she was wet. It would be so simple, but he had a point to prove.

He would control her through sex, not the other way around. He was the Dom. He was the senior partner.

And he’d promised her a good tongue lashing. He could spend the entire morning eating her pussy. Then he would feed her. He could start her training. He would make her sit on his lap and feed her himself, and then he would take her to the dungeon and start getting her used to impact play.

He would plug her gorgeous arse because he was going to fuck her there. Eventually. But this morning it was all about the pussy. It was all about getting deep inside Penelope. It was all about making the connection that would bind her to him.
Fuck. It was all about coming. It was all about spending himself hard inside her. His dick was pulsing, dying. All he needed to do was thrust up and he would be content.

He placed his head against her forehead. It was such a temptation to just fuck up into her.

But she was so inexperienced. He had to stop.

He let his head fall to her forehead, rubbing them against one another. He was close to her. Closer than he’d ever been to a woman. Fuck. She did it for him. He didn’t really understand why, but she did it. She called to him. Everything about Penelope Cash pulled him in. He had to take care of her, had to protect her. Even from himself because the idea of spending his come inside her was so fucking tempting. He wanted to bind her to him so she wouldn’t ever leave him.

Selfish. He was greedy and selfish and he wanted to be more to her.

“Love, what about birth control?” He didn’t want to have to stop to ask her about it later.

“I’m on birth control pills. I have been on them for years. I guess I was hopeful.”

Fuck. He didn’t have to wear a condom. “Love, you got my medical reports.”

She frowned a little. “Well, I read the ones you didn’t bury.” She huffed out a little laugh. “Damon, I know you’re clean. Will you please make love to me?”

So polite and he didn’t want polite from her. “Ask me to fuck you, Penelope.”

He didn’t want to lie to her. He didn’t make love. He didn’t even believe in it as a concept. It was something people needed to mask their primal needs for sex and conquest and someone to sleep next to at night.

Penelope’s eyes widened and a sexy little gasp came from those lips of hers. “Will you fuck me, Damon?”

“With pleasure, love.” Bur first things came first. He kissed his way down her body, stopping to nip at her breasts and suck each one hard into his mouth. She was primed. She could handle a little more now. And god knew he wanted to give her more. “Spread your legs wider.”

Review – 5 Scorching Hot Flames

image-flame

Dungeon Royale will take you on a dangerous mission filled with action, intrigue, espionage, and bondage.  Master Damon is the most fierce and hardcore Dom in this series thus far.

Damon has scars inside and out.  His life has always been about MI-6.  It’s who he is and what he knows other than being the owner of The Garden, Britain’s most lush and luxurious BDSM club.  Damon craves control in all things in his life.  He has never had a relationship with a woman before. He once had a sub that he slept with regularly but she was just a sub and a sweet girl nothing more. Never in a million years would anyone believe that a little sprite like Penelope Cash could bring Damon to his knees.

Penelope Cash is a people pleaser.  She lets her family walk all over her.  Her family enjoys making her feel small and timid and all she has ever done is try to show them love. Damon Knight on the other hand ignites a passion inside of her that she has never felt before and that spark brings out her feisty side.  Damon does his best to convince Penelope to go undercover with him as his sub to catch a terrorist group.

“Did you ever stop to wonder if perhaps I’m simply not interested in even pretending to sleep with you?”

“No not once.”

“Maybe I don’t like men Mr. Knight.”

The flirtatious banter is delightfully delicious and addicting.  I absolutely adore Penelope’s tenacity towards Damon and his fumbling for words because he never expected such sass from her.  Lexi will have you laughing one moment and all hot and bothered the next.  If you have read any of the Master’s Mercenaries Series you know that Lexi has a talent for writing smokin hot sex scenes that will melt your panties off.  She delivers that and much more in Dungeon Royale.  Let’s just say that Master Damon likes his woman tied down and screaming for release.  He has a nice stash of toys as well.

While there is lots of spice, Lexi also delivers amazing stories.  She keeps you on the edge of your seat while waiting for the attack.  There is an element of danger in all of her books that will keep you turning the pages.  She introduces new characters in this installment that will surely appear in Simon’s story.  Yes! Yes! Yes!  Simon’s story is next.  I will be biting my nails until it arrives.

Master Damon will have your panties wet and your heart racing…

e90f2-synopsis

He left to travel the world for fame and glory, but only after spurning Gabby Ward and crushing her young heart. Now Hunter Markham has come back home to the sand and salty breeze of the North Carolina Outer Banks so he can open up Last Call, a beach bar nestled among the dunes of the Atlantic.

Gabby Ward is not happy that Hunter has returned. Bitter over his rebuff years before, she’s content to stay far away from him and his dangerously charming ways.

Gabby’s well-schemed plans to ignore Hunter go up in flames when he presents an offer to her that she simply can’t refuse, throwing them together in a common quest to each reach their goals. Working together day in and day out proves to be problematic for Gabby, who soon realizes that the feelings she had for him are still very much alive. Hunter struggles to reach through to Gabby’s cold heart, all while starting a new career away from his life as a top ranked, professional surfer.

What starts out as a mutual business arrangement soon turns into a passion that neither of them can continue to deny.

Hard choices lay ahead for both of them when Hunter is offered a once in a lifetime opportunity to return to the pro surfing tour.

Choices that could destroy what they have built or take them further than they ever had dared to hope.

6e57f-review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Holy hotness Hunter Markham…He knows what he wants and he takes it!!!  Gabby might still be upset about how things went with their first kiss but she will just have to get over that.  I mean seriously, how can she turn down a smokin hot pro-surfer that just happens to really care about her.

I love the characters in this story.  Sawyer is a master at character development.  If you have read the Off Series you know this.  Gabby is a contractor.  I love it!  A woman in a man’s field doing a hell of job all while being sexy.  A woman after my own heart.  And what guy would not drool over a naked woman in nothing but a tool belt and some fuck me heels.  Not that Sawyer was thinking that, or anything like that, when she wrote this.  The other thing that I absolutely loved about this story is Brody.  I am dying to know more about Brody and what happened to him. I seriously can’t wait until his story comes out.

Gabby and Hunter are combustible.  She is a spitfire and he is like a moth to a flame.  The more she sasses him the more he wants her.  The anticipation had me stocking up on batteries for B.O.B. because when that damn broke I was going to need them.  This story was just the pick me up that I needed after finishing a few emotional roller coasters.  It was light and refreshing and made me feel all warm and fuzzy.  Gabby is a sexy minx and is the perfect yin to Hunters yang.

On The Rocks is an escape to the beach filled with sexy and flirty banter by day followed by lusciously sexy and passionate nights.

e90f2-synopsis

Every Second With You = Sex. Love. Addiction. Heartache. Pain. And Hope.

In the sequel to the bestselling new adult romance THE THRILL OF IT, Harley and Trey face new challenges that will make battling blackmail, sex addiction, and a virgin call girl past look easy…

I used to think love was a lie. Now I know it’s real, powerful, and I don’t want to lose it…But my future scares me, and there’s no way this can be happening, especially since I’ve finally broken free from all the people who wanted pieces of me. I don’t even know how to start over, but I have to find a way. So when I discover what my mother’s been keeping from me, it doesn’t make me hate her. It gives me hope for a new life, outside of New York. But the ties that bind me to this city are so strong, sometimes they are chains. If only I could leave with…

Trey…

I will do anything for her. She owns me, heart, mind and body. But when Harley tells me this, I am rocked to the core, and terrified of what happens next. Especially when now it’s not her past that chases me, it’s someone from my own. And that someone is messing with my head when I’m trying to be strong for Harley. But all I really want is to escape with the girl I love…For the rest of our lives.

How can you move forward when the past keeps chasing you?

Excerpt

The first words on the card are like a headline, in big, thick letters: The Stories We Promised to Tell You.

Then, under them:

And the city girl returned to the sand, and the sea, where the sun warmed her shoulders and the sky rained silver and gold sparkles . . .

And that’s all. It’s signed Nan and Pop.

I read the words again on the muggy subway platform, waiting for the downtown train. I read it on the subway car as it slaloms through underground New York, its lights flickering once around a bend, blasting us with darkness for a few seconds. I read it once more as I walk the few blocks to my apartment, weaving in and out of the early evening crowds who are returning home from work, their earbuds or their phones keeping them company.

The card is odd, too, on some sort of vintage letterpress paper, with a raised drawing of a red aardvark in the sand. Something you don’t find in the Hallmark section of Duane Reade, that’s for sure.

But the more I repeat the words, the less I understand them. They feel like a code, and I don’t have the key to decipher this strange sort of story from my grandparents, made stranger because I thought I was persona non grata to them.

I don’t know where they live, or if they’re still in San Diego. I don’t even have the same last name as my dad’s parents. When my parents split, my mom returned to her maiden name, and changed my name, too. A neat, clean break, severing me from his side of the family.

The two of us against the world.

Now, I am untethered from her

5 Hearts

heart arrow

A breathtakingly beautiful end to a heart-wrenching and passionate love story.

Every Second With You is the sequel to Lauren’s insanely sexy and emotional novel The Thrill Of It.  The story begins where The Thrill Of It left off with Harley finding out she is pregnant.  This is a pivotal moment for Trey and Harley that tests their love for one another.  They are both sex addicts and at this moment you find out if they are truly in love or just addicted to one another.

“I want to cry, I want to sob, I want to hold him close and never let him go.  I am in heaven with him, and I have one foot in the hell of my own fear, so I need to lose myself in sex, in love, in connection.”

Harley battles her inner demons before she has enough courage to let Trey in on her little secret.  She is afraid Trey will run because of his brothers.

“She fucking owns me, and I want her to stake her claim to me always.  Harley is my whole fucking heart, and then some.”

After Harley drops the pregnancy bomb, Trey puts on a mask and begins to fake it.  He tries to pretend that everything is fine when he is really freaking out.  He begins to distance his heart from Harley because he is afraid of losing the baby like he did his brothers.

While Trey is battling his inner demons, Harley is dealing with her mother Barb and the secrets that Barb has been keeping from her.  She is upset and angry because all these years she thought that Barb was all she had, but that was not the truth.  When she reaches out to Trey he screws up royally and Harley asks him to leave.

“I stand glancing one more time at her window.  The pangs of being near her but not near enough stab like little knives.”

Because you can’t breakup and makeup sex.  There is of course some insanely sexy panting melting make up sex.

“I know this won’t take long, and I love when she loses control like this, because I’m the only one she’s ever been like for this.  Ever, ever ever.”

eswt

Trey and Harley really grow up as the learn that neither one of them are defined by their past and now whats most important is their future.  They have several stumbling blocks on the way to their happily ever after and that keeps you turning the pages.  Lauren had me holding my breath and crying my eyes out.  Most of all Lauren gave me Hope.  Hope that true love really exists, and can conquer all things including addiction.  I am so excited to see what Lauren has in store for us next.  She is amazingly talented and has me lusting after all of her Blakely Boys.

Every Second With You is heartwarming, passionate, and sexy. I loved every second of this sinfully seductive adventure.

LOVEFEST KIM KARR BUTTON

Connected - Cover

e90f2-synopsis

What if a “Once in a Lifetime” could happen twice?
In Dahlia London’s world, happily ever after is a far cry from reality. Her soul has been left completely shattered by tragedy. But a surprising reunion with someone from her past is about to give her a reason to love again…

When rock star River Wilde comes back into Dahlia’s life, their super-charged connection runs deeper than either of them ever expected. The more time they spend together, the more intense their relationship becomes, and Dahlia believes at last she has found her soul mate.

But as old bonds fade and Dahlia’s grief begins to lift, her guilt and confusion remain. River desperately wants to be the one who mends what’s been broken—but with a past that refuses to stay buried, is it possible for their future to begin?

Connected Teaser 3

6e57f-review

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472

Connected is painfully emotional.  This gripping tale had me sobbing as my heart was breaking.  It takes an enormous amount of talent to evoke emotions in readers.  Kim made me feel more emotions than any other author ever has.  I cried so hard that I went through half a box of tissues.  It was soo worth it to see an amazing love story unfold.  I was connected to the characters in this story and wanted more than anything for them to get their happily ever after.

Dahlia is destroyed when Ben is taken from her in a ruthless act of violence.  She becomes severely depressed and does not leave the house for more then a few minutes for almost two years.  She can’t sleep.  She can’t eat.  She is pale and frail and a shadow of what she once was.  If it was not for Ben’s mother Grace, his best friend Caleb, and Aerie, Dahlia may have just let herself die.  She felt like she had nothing to live for.  Her parents died in a plane crash and her closest relatives had all passed away.  She was truly alone.  She had the most passionate night with Ben before he was killed and she clings to that memory and to the bracelet he gave her with the promise that he would love her forever no matter what.

Thank goodness for Aerie.  Aerie finally pushes and prods and gets Dahlia to pick up her bootstraps and start to move on.  Aerie convinces Dahlia that here life is not over.  Aerie is so excited when Dahlia agrees to do an interview and photo shoot of River Wilde.  River is Dahlia’s one and only crush from college.  River is about to be a big time rockstar and Dahlia is convinced that he will not even remember who she is.  She is shocked to find that he does remember who she is and that he felt the connection too.  The connection that she felt that night in college where he kissed her.  She never felt anything like that before in her entire life.

“But it wasn’t just a kiss.  It was so much more.  When our tongues met it felt like our souls connected with each other.”

An awe-inspiring love story begins as River and Dahlia fall madly in love with one another. They have a love that I envy.  The love that one can only hope to find once in a lifetime. They have the kind of love that gives me hope.  I fall hopelessly in love with River and my heart is filled with warmth and happiness because of the undying love that he has for Dahlia.  He loves her so much that you can feel it in your soul.

As I continue to watch her with amazement and wonder, I no longer simply see rain falling from the sky.  In my mind the drops have become the tiny wishing wells she once described to me and they are gathering all around her.  I have this overwhelming urge to grant her every wish.”

Of course you wait for the bottom to fall out and eventually it does.  All I can say is thank goodness that the sequel to this book Torn is out already or I would have went crazy.  I needed for River and Dahlia to have their happily ever after.

In the sex department this book is scorching.  River and Dahlia have an insatiable appetites for each other.  He can never get enough and she is right there with him.  You may want to walk into another room when you get to the good stuff because your face will be flushed and your girl parts will be looking for some relief.

Kim had me on an emotional roller coaster unlike anyone that I have been on before. She made me want to find the connection that Dahlia and River had for myself.

TORN (Connections #2) - Cover

e90f2-synopsis

Rock star River Wilde brought Dahlia London back from the brink of hopelessness with his unwavering love and devotion. But their entangled history is about to test the strength of their relationship…

Dahlia was certain she had found true love and met her ‘Once in a Lifetime’ when she reconnected with River. But Dahlia’s world comes crashing down when someone from her past resurfaces, and all of River’s carefully hidden secrets are exposed.

River wants to show Dahlia that life isn’t about waiting for the storm to pass—it’s about dancing in the rain. But how many times can one broken heart be mended?  Will River and Dahlia be able to stay together or will they be torn apart?

TORN 66e57f-reviewbigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472What would you do if suddenly the man that you thought was dead shows up on your doorstep?  It had been three years since Ben died.  It took Dahlia almost two years just to leave the house after she lost him.  He was her anchor and she felt like she had been washed out to sea without him.  How could he possibly be alive?

Holy hell Kim Karr! I thought Connected was an emotional roller coaster.  It looks like a ride on the Ferris Wheel compared to the roller coaster ride that Dahlia ends up on because of Ben’s reappearance.  She thought that River is the one she is supposed to be with but what is she supposed to do.

“When I come back up I make my way to the sand and just lay there.  The beach is very quiet.  Birds chirp peacefully and they soar overhead.  I close my eyes willing myself to stop crying.  I can’t even figure out who I am crying for – Ben, River, myself?

There are so many secrets that are revealed in Torn that you keep thinking the bottom is going to fall out. The way that River, Dahlia, and Ben treat each other has you on pins and needles wondering what is going to happen next.  Then throw Grace into the mix and everything starts crumbling like a sand castle being washed away.  Dahlia’s got no one but herself to keep her grounded and she is determined to never again fall into a depression like she did when she lost Ben.

Reading Ben’s journal about did me in.  I am angry at him for his actions but I also feel so sorry for him.  Kim, I really hope you write Ben’s story sometime soon because I believe he deserves one.  Deep down he is a good guy who made some really bad choices.

“I’ll keep trying.  I’ve needed her since the day I left.  I wished I’d have told her that.  I actually wish I had taken her with me.”

Kim writes a very realistic tale about how much your life can change in the blink of an eye.  I absolutely loved Connected and Torn.  They will be added to my best of 2014.

If you like love stories that will stay with you, and remind of what life is like when you have met your soulmate then you will love Torn.

Kim Karr lives in Florida with her husband and four kids. She’s always had a love for reading books and writing. Being an English major in college, she wanted to teach at the college level but that was not to be. She went on to receive an MBA and became a project manager until quitting to raise her family. Kim currently works part-time with her husband and recently decided to embrace one of her biggest passions–writing.

Kim wears a lot of hats! Writer, book-lover, wife, soccer-mom, taxi driver, and the all around go-to person of her family. However, she always finds time to read. One of her favorite family outings was taking her kids when they were little to the bookstore or the library. Today, Kim’s oldest child is seventeen and no longer goes with her on these, now rare and infrequent, outings. She finds that she doesn’t need to go on them anymore because she has the greatest device ever invented–a Kindle.

Kim likes to believe in soul mates, kindred spirits, true friends, and Happily-Ever-Afters. She loves to drink champagne, listen to music, and hopes to always stay young at heart.

A Summerville Novel #6

Fire and Icing Book 1

Some fires never burn out…

After ten years as America’s sweetest celebrity chef, Naomi Whitehouse is enjoying life out of the spotlight, back in her hometown of Summerville, Georgia. She’s opening a pastry shop with her sister, housesitting for her snowbird parents, and reconnecting with her roots. Life is good until she runs into her high school sweetheart, Jake Hansen, a sexy firefighter who gives her a reception chilly enough to freeze a forest fire. If Naomi wants her homecoming to remain all cupcakes and sugar cookies, she’ll have to win Jake over. But how can she earn his forgiveness when he won’t even speak to her?

When the girl who broke his heart buys a month of dates at the firefighter’s Hunk-for-a-Month fundraiser auction, only honor keeps widower Jake Hansen from backing out of the commitment. He won’t let the firehouse down, even if it means enduring a torturous month with Naomi Whitehouse. And Jake knows being close to Naomi again will be torture. Even after all these years, she still gets to him…not that he intends to let her know it. He’ll be civil, honor his obligation, and with any luck Naomi will tire of playing small-town pastry chef and Jake will never see her again.

But as the month passes, Jake and Naomi discover some fires never burn out. Will the heat between them be enough to melt away the pain of past mistakes, or is their second chance doomed from the start?

Excerpt

She was getting ready to order Maddie to have fun without her and make a run for the exit, when the curtain parted again and Naomi lost the ability to form words.

There, wearing nothing but black jeans and a black Summerville Fire Department baseball cap, was the man she’d come for. Naomi’s breath caught and a horrible, excited-but-miserable feeling filled her chest. It was same feeling that had overwhelmed her when Jake had turned and walked away from her at the store yesterday, but this time, he didn’t know she was watching. Naomi was able to let her eyes linger, taking in every inch of the stunning man her high school sweetheart had become.

Jake didn’t strut down the catwalk like his little brother; he owned the stage like the captain of a ship, like a Roman commander leading his army into battle. With his tanned, olive skin, broad shoulders, chiseled chest, and deliciously narrow hips, Jake was every bit the beefcake his little brother was. But that wasn’t what made the crowd suck in their breath in appreciation as he reached the end of the catwalk and took off his hat, his tousled brown hair flopping over one eye as he bowed to the ladies on either side of the stage.

No, it wasn’t his muscles, the strong planes of his face, or those dark brown eyes that glittered with intelligence that made it impossible for Naomi to take her eyes off of him. It was the way he held himself, the way he moved like a creature that was completely at home in its body. Jake was a man who walked, talked, and prowled the catwalk with innate confidence. He knew who he was and where he was going. He was a man who worked hard and loved harder, who believed in the value of a man’s word, and never gave a woman a second chance to make a bad impression.

Melt with you is sweet and sexy and will melt your heart.  Can the one person that broke your heart still be the person you were meant to be with? Jake was destroyed when Naomi left.  He needed her like he needed air to breathe.  It took him years to get over her and when he finally did move on tragedy struck.  Maybe Jake was just destined to be alone.

Naomi messed up big time when she walked away from Jake to pursue her Hollywood dream.  Sure she had been with some of Hollywood’s finest, but she never felt loved by any of those men.  She knew that no one could ever love her the way that Jake did.  All she could think of as she returned home to Summerville was how she could possibly get Jake to forgive her for leaving him.  It had been 15 years.  They were older now.  So when the opportunity to buy a few dates with him crossed her path she could not resist.

Jessie writes a beautiful story about two broken people that find their way on the path of forgiveness.  She created some very realistic characters that you can empathize with.  All of us at one point have made stupid mistakes that we have had to live with.  The supporting cast in the book is awesome and makes you excited about reading their stories.  You have Maddie, Naomi’s sister, whose husband left her for another man.  You have Faith who has been severely burned by someone in her past to the point that she will not even entertain the idea of dating.  You have two hot sexy men Jamieson and Mick that you can’t wait to see fall hard.

If you love sexy fireman and scorching four alarm flames of lust then you will love Melt with You.

Love Chocolate and Beer by Violet Duke Blog Tour + Review + **Giveaway**

LoveChocolateandBeer_FINAL_EBOOK_flipped (1)

Romance has met its most unlikely match-up…

Luke Bradford is a chocolatier on a mission.  After moving his chocolate shop, and newly single life, to the quirky town of Cactus Creek, Luke wants nothing more than to devote all his energy into making his business a success—by taking the romance market by storm.  But his grand plans get thrown for a loop when he locks horns with the feisty beer-brewing beauty next door who calls his ‘romantic idealism’ a load of fairytale bull.  Soon, driving the woman sparking nuts becomes another wickedly fun priority he simply can’t get enough of.

In his defense, she’s addictively easy to incite…and plain impossible to resist.

Beloved local brewmaster Dani Dobson is beyond riled up.  It’s bad enough the new shop owner in town comes locked and loaded with both a distractingly rugged charm and sexy flashing dimples, but the whole only-in-the-movies variety of romance he’s selling—the kind her world has been crushed by before—is really doing a number on her allergy to unrealistic clichés.  What’s worse, he’s created an annoyingly clever ad campaign that dubs ‘beer joints’ like hers as the “cave where romance goes to hibernate.”  The nerve of that man.

Combustible chemistry or not, damn it, this means war.  The stakes…very likely, her heart.

 EXCERPT

 A jolt of awareness charged her skin as she recalled every memorable thing about him, all now tattooed in her brain.  Halfway down the fairly long list, Dani huffed out to herself, “Xoey’s losing it.  That guy can’t possibly…  I mean he was just so—”  She shook her head, at a loss for words to match her blistering hot thoughts.

“I was so…what?” prodded a deep, gentle voice from behind her.

“You!” she gasped, spinning around.  She gripped the rum bottle she’d just unloaded from its crate and poised it before her like a fencing sabre.  “What are you doing back here?”

“Whoa, easy.”  He shot both his hands up in the air, amusement curving his mouth into a lopsided grin.  “No need to bottle-bash me.  Your friend, the other bartender, sent me in to help you.”

“Of course she did,” Dani muttered in exasperation.

Mental note: Xoey was so fired.

When she pulled her weapon away from his face, the man efficiently slid next to her as if she hadn’t been poised for assault with deadly bottle, and began opening liquor cartons like he was being paid to.  “Now what were you just saying about me?”

She balked.  “How could I’ve been saying anything about you?!  I don’t even know you.”

His pupils flared.  But not in annoyance at her well-worded, bald-faced lie.  But rather…in hunger.

She took a step back.

“Sorry.”  He tore his eyes away from her and focused on the whiskey bottles he was lining up behind the older bottles in accordance with the labeled restocking instructions on each shelf.  “The thoughts in my stream-of-consciousness just went to dangerous waters,” he added in that malt-rich voice of his.  “I went from thinking ‘pants on fire’ to thinking about your pants.”  His voice graveled, heated for a second as if teased by his own words.  “Then, well, you can follow the breadcrumbs.”

Lordy, the man was lethal to the female population.

She did in fact follow those crumbs, right over to her backside.  Unconsciously, she took a compulsive swipe at her jeans with her free hand—nope, no flames engulfing her butt—and felt the temperature in the small room spike dramatically.

Dammit, if he didn’t quit looking at her like that—all steamy eyes valiantly glued to her face rather than her fire snuffing efforts below…  She shivered.  Not wanting to even mentally voice the trouble that would ensue from that train of thought.  It was bad enough that the faint scent of one of her dark ales was lingering on his lips in that sexier than sin sort of way, but candying it atop a gentlemanly sweet center to boot was just playing unfair.

Of course, like a masochist, she tipped her head back to meet his gaze anyway.

“Hi,” he rumbled gently, a soft smile flirting with the corners of his lips.

It was a content murmur more than anything else and somehow he managed to make that one word, the mere act of greeting her, meeting her for the first time sound so…special.

Oh, hell.  The moment her fingertips began gravitating to his chest, the rest of her couldn’t help but follow.  His hands settled lightly at her sides and she watched, spellbound, as the simmering heat in his eyes burned hotter.  Deeper.

An unexpected sigh of pleasure seeped out of her and instantly, his fingers flexed against her hips in response.  It was the only warning she got.  In one sultry swoop, he strapped a steel arm around her waist to pull her flush against him before he caught her jaw with his free hand and just exploded past all her defenses with one slow, soft brush of his lips against hers.

Then just as quickly, he pulled back.

Seemingly shocked at his own actions, eyes fixed on hers as if to gauge her reaction, he dragged in ragged breath after ragged breath.  To try to slow things down probably.

One second, two seconds… 

On three, her lips found his racing pulse just above his collar.  A timid tongue swipe was all it took to get her shoulders pinned back against a wall, his hand speared through her hair, and the sensitive skin along her neck schooled on how turnabout was so far beyond fair play.

Breathing became barely a memory as his mouth decimated any hope she had of control.  Before she knew it, she was undoing her shirt, daring him to follow suit.  She wasn’t normally the bold instigator type but with him…she couldn’t think, couldn’t wait, couldn’t—

She gasped.

She didn’t even know this guy’s name.

bigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472Chocolate and beer throw down challenge and smack talk will have you laughing so hard that your sides will be aching.  Dani is a feisty brewmaster and her tenacity drives Luke absolutely crazy with lust.  From the first moment Luke lays eyes on Dani sparks fly and he is drawn to her like a moth to a flame.  Dani feels it too and when she tries to escape to her storeroom the last thing she expects to find is Luke standing behind her.  Passionate kisses erupt as the two attack each other.

I am excited that this sweet and adorable romance made it out just in time for Valentine’s Day.  It made me laugh, cry, and punch my pillow at times because Dani was soo damn stubborn.  I love that Luke is the yin to her yang.  He is everything a woman could want in a man.  Luke is insanely sweet, super sexy, and will sacrifice everything for those he loves.  He is all about doing whatever it takes to make Dani believe in romantic love again.  She was burned in the past really badly and has a wall constructed around her heart that is almost impossible to breach.  This story will take you on a path of love and forgiveness that will melt your heart.  Luke will be at the top of my 2014 Book Boyfriend List.

Quinn, Xoey, and Rylan make an awesome supporting cast.  I was hoping to see a spin  off with Quinn and Rylan.  Violet only gives us a sneak peek of Lia and Hudson the stars of Love, Sidearms, and Armbars.  It made me smile that Luke used the sounds that Quinn made when eating his chocolate as a rating scale.  The term “tastegasm” was insanely masterful.  WARNING if you are PMSing you will have a major craving for chocolate as you read this, and no, cheap chocolate is not going to do it for you, so you better find yourself a Lindt, Godiva, or Rocky Mountain Chocolate factory to quench your craving before you go insane.  Thanks for that one Violet.  I tried a Twix and it was a no go.  Not a pretty sight.

Dani and Luke’s love story is a beautiful mess that will keep you turning the pages to see if Chocolate will win over Beer.

Man, oh man, was he in trouble…

If the girl-next-door-had an unpredictable, feisty twin sister, this woman would be her. Though she’d doused it quickly, a sizzling, ultra-feminine awareness had flared in her eyes in that brief moment they’d met his, along with a sweet blush she’d fought with adorably, stubborn defiance. Damn, she was cute. And intriguing. With that quiet, kitten gaze of hers still mulishly refusing to look his way again, she was drawing him in, hook, line, and sinker.

Holy Hefeweizen…

It was bad enough that the faint scent of one of her dark ales was lingering on his lips in that sexier-than-sin sort of way, but candying it atop steamy eyes and a gentlemanly sweet center to boot was just plain unfair. He was cowboy-in-the-city sexy with a laughing smile and all sorts of promised temptations radiating from him. And he always smelled like chocolate. With his scorching hot gaze, he was completely lethal to everything that kept her tame.

The night Luke and Dani met, they really should have gotten each other’s last names. More importantly? Each other’s occupations.

See how the chocolate vs. beer throwdown between chocolatier Luke Bradford and beer brewing beauty Dani Dobson gets started in this prequel novella to LOVE, CHOCOLATE, AND BEER.

One Ride by Chelsea Camaron Blog Tour + Review + Giveaway

Title: One Ride (The Hellions Ride)
Author: Chelsea Camaron
Genre: Erotica
Publication Date: December 19, 2013

Delilah “Doll” Reklinger never imagined her life with anyone that wasn’t a Hellion. She never imagined a Hellion would come along and prove himself worthy enough to her father, Roundman, Hellions Club President. Content in living in the bubble of safety the motorcycle club family has always provided, Doll never thought that danger surrounded her.

Roundman has kept the Hellions contained for the last thirty years by controlling the chaos surrounding their lifestyle. When the dangerous side to their business comes knocking on his door, he realizes his precious Doll isn’t safe. The Hellions code may be that women and children are off limits in any altercation or dispute, but that doesn’t mean their enemies follow that same moral compass.

His only child, now in danger from the association to him and his club, Roundman makes a decision. He sends her away to a charter club, in hopes that the trouble won’t follow.

One ride across the country. One simple ride. Talon “Tripp” Crews has been ordered to take Doll on one ride away and to keep her safe. She’s off limits, his head knows this, but his body can’t deny the sparks between them. She’s feisty, fierce, and fearless. Constantly in close confines together, can they deny the chemistry? Will they give into the attraction between them? Can one ride turn lust into love?

Chelsea had me at “We gonna do this, Doll?”

She took me on one hell of a sinful and sexy ride with Delilah “Doll” Reklinger and Talon “Tripp” Ward Crews.  Tripp falls in lust with Doll the moment he meets her and she gives him a little peck on the cheek.  I fell in love with this Hellion couple from the start because Doll is a girl after my own heart.  She puts up with no ones crap. She might look innocent but looks can be deceiving, and Doll has no problem knocking a big bad biker on his ass.

This story has it all.  Action, adventure, and drama, along with sinfully erotic encounters.  Chelsea knows how to write a smokin hot sex scene.  Keep B.O.B. close by because Tripp will have your panties wet and have you aching so bad that you will need some relief.

I learned a lot about Motorcycle Clubs (MC) and their structure in this book, along with what life is like as a true biker bad ass.  I know that Chelsea relies on what she knows and grew up around when she writes, which makes her books so much more realistic then others.  My Dad was part of an MC when I was growing up so this story took me back to my childhood.

Chelsea is also masterful at developing her characters as well as her supporting cast.  Tripp is my favourite type of alpha male.  He is fiercely protective and loyal to those that he loves while also putting on a rough exterior to hide the emotional scars of his past that he carries with him.  Doll is a kind and caring soul that will protect her family at all costs.  She lost her mom when she was young and does not trust others easily.  Sass, Tank, Rex, and Caroline along with Roundman and Danza make up an amazing supporting cast.  Chelsea sets the stage for the next love story.  Will it be Sass and Tank or Caroline and Rex?  I can’t wait to see.

If you like your men tatted and bad ass and you women hot and sassy you will love One Ride.  But be prepared for an sexy and exciting ride that you will never want to get off of but will get you off for sure.

Chelsea Camaron was born and raised in Coastal North Carolina. She currently resides in Southern Louisiana with her husband and two children but her heart is always Carolina day dreaming.

Chelsea always wanted to be a writer, but like most of us, let fear of the unknown grab a hold of her dream; she realized that if she was going to tell her daughter to go for her dreams, that it was time to follow her own advice.

Chelsea grew up turning wrenches alongside her father, and from that grew her love for old muscle cars and Harley Davidson motorcycles, which just so happened to inspired her ‘Daddy’s Girls’ series. Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works.

When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in.

She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

*Warning mature content ahead- this scene is explicit so only post if your blog is set for adult content please*

A few beers later, Tank and I are playing pool in the back corner room. Three women come over to our game. For a bit they watch and giggle to each other. One is a bottle blonde, short only five foot, one or two. She’s wearing a black mini skirt that barely covers her ass, a navy blue halter top that her boobs are screaming to be let loose from, topped off with those fuck me heels that women love to wear and men love to feel digging into their backsides. The other two have dark hair, one is taller, maybe five eight or nine, the shorter one closer to the blonde’s height. The taller broad, is in a little black strapless number that she clearly doesn’t realize one ass cheek is already hanging out of. The shorter one, obviously more reserved than the other two, is in jeans and a fitted shirt. She walks away, returning to wherever they came from.

The blonde approaches me, with a smile that says seduction. She licks her lips as she trails her finger over my cut. Stopping, she breathes into my ear.

“I have a pocket you can sink into, biker.” She whispers.

“Is that so?” I reply, looking over at Tank. Her taller friend has now approached him and is mauling his face in what I believe to be extremely drunk kisses. I watch as Tank wraps his hand in her hair. Tightly, he pulls back on her, to slow her pace. He’s taking control, and soon going to take what he wants. Returning my attention back to the bar fly beside me, I move so she’s pinned between me and the pool table.

Taking the hint, she pulls me up against her. I lean down, she thinks I’m going to kiss her, but instead I whisper, as I breathe heavily on her neck.

“Darlin’, are you sure? Be ready, I’m going to fuck you hard, fast, and rough. Right here, in front of your friend, my brother, and whoever decides to walk in. Once I start, I’m not going to stop. Say no now, and walk the fuck away. Otherwise, take your panties off and stick them in my pocket. Then turn around and bend your ass over the pool table bitch.”

Without hesitating, her panties are now in my pocket. Pulling her skirt over her waist, her bare ass is now shaking in front of me. Getting a condom out, I unbutton my jeans and stroke my dick. As I’m getting hard, I look over to see Tank is already working his girl over. Her legs are wrapped around his waist, arms around his neck, and her head back as she’s moaning in ecstasy. Damn, they were quick to get to it.

Reaching around her front with my right hand, I slide up her thigh. At her juncture, I slowly tease her pussy lips with my fingers. Spreading them apart, I circle her clit as she rocks back on to me, seeking more. I increase the pressure and the pace on her clit. My dick is hard and pressing against her ass. She looks over her shoulder, down at my dick. Seeing the silver jewelry at the tip, she smiles.

“Fuck me, biker. Take that big, pierced cock and fuck my ass.”

If that’s what the hell the slut wants, who the hell am I to say no? The bitch wants it rough, fine. She’ll feel this shit for days. I push her head down onto the pool table. Removing my hand from her clit, I roll the condom on. I kick her legs further apart. Taking a few moments to finger her pussy, I use her own juices to start inserting my finger in her ass. Once she adjusts to the first finger, I add a second. With my other hand, I’m rubbing the head of my penis against her clit, letting the piercing apply that added sensation. She’s now rocking back rhythmically on three fingers. I remove my fingers and slowly insert the tip of my cock. I give her body a moment to adjust to my girth, as I inch in further. She’s tiny and there is no way I’ll be balls deep without hurting her. Her ass is tight and the lube from the condom isn’t enough. Once I’m inside her a good bit, I reach around with my left hand and massage her breast at the same time I begin rubbing circles on her clit. I tease the entrance to her pussy with my fingers. As I do, she rocks back engulfing my dick in her ass. It’s warm, soft, and so tight. I insert two fingers inside her pussy as I pinch her nipple. She rocks against me as I begin pumping both my dick and my fingers in and out of her. She’s clinching around me as her orgasm is building.

“Oh, oh, oh…yes…I’m coming.” She screams out so loud Tank and his play thing stop fucking to turn and watch us.

As she’s going through the aftershocks of her orgasm, she starts to raise her head up. I push it back down, as remove my hand from her pussy and my dick from her ass.

“I’m not finished yet. Bitch, stay put.” I say as I hold her down onto the pool table.

Fast and hard, I thrust my dick in her pussy now. I set a quick, intense pace, ready to get off and move on. Within a few hard thrusts, I allow my mind a moment of wondering, imagining the face of a doll, I come in the condom. Finishing, I pull out. Removing the condom, I tie off the top, and toss it in the trash can in the room. Adjusting myself, I zip up my pants. Looking over, I see Tank is finished as well. His girl already sporting a pouty face as mine is still bent over the pool table like she doesn’t know what just happened.

Deciding I am done for the night, I grab my beer, nod to Tank that it’s time to go. He follows me out of the room, leaving the two bar flies behind. They both call out to us. Rather than turn around and acknowledge them, I flip my middle finger over my head at them as we make our way by the bar towards the exit door.

Kissing Doll was a mistake. Shaking off the thoughts of her body molding to mine, I focus. Knowing the fuckers are following us, I’ve got to keep my shit straight. The downfall to being followed while you’re on a bike, it’s hard to watch the bastards following you without making it obvious. Bike mirrors are small and full of blind spots anything more than a car length away. It’s a game of where the hell’s Waldo. I never have liked games.

Peek-a- mother- fuckin’- boo. I see you Cadillac SVT. Same bastards from before, they have no idea who they’re fucking with. Extending my left arm out straight, palm flat to the ground, I make a slight up and down motion to let Rex know to slow down and back off a little. Turning my hand, I single three fingers then four. Throwing my arm up, bending at the elbow to a ninety degree angle while balling my fist, then with my index finger only extending I make a circle motion. Rex knows in three quarters of a mile, I’ll make a hard right exit, no signal. He’s to keep going, let the caddy follow me, while he gets Sass to send the text to the boys to circle around, and back my ass up.

Pulling off, sure enough, the car follows. Hopefully, they took the bait thinking we were riding the two of us and only sent one car to tail. My boys have been following a half hour or so behind us the entire ride making sure to stay out of sight. If there are too many of them, we’re fucked. I’ll do anything before they get Doll though.

We’re on a two lane road that makes a loop. I feel the vibration of my phone cueing me that Rex and crew are heading to the gas station. Officially in BFE (Bum Fuck, Egypt) I pull into the seedy gas station. As soon as Doll realizes Rex doesn’t follow the turn off, she holds on tighter. I drop my left hand to squeeze her thigh reassuringly. Hang tight until the cavalry arrives. None of these fuckers are gonna get to her to use as a pawn in some sick game. Not one hair on that pretty little head will be touched as long as I’m fucking breathing.

Pulling in, Doll climbs off. Before I climb off, I grab her hand and swing her to me, snaking my hand around the back of her neck, I pull her in for a kiss. Raw, rough, and real passion flow freely between us as the kiss becomes a tangle of tongues, lips, and teeth. When I pull away, her eyes are glassed over in desire.

“Stay close, and follow my lead, Doll.” I whisper to her before kissing her forehead and releasing her.

Climbing off the bike, I remove my helmet. Storing both our helmets on the bike, I make a point not to touch any of the saddlebags. Knowing we’re being watched, I need to make this believable. They may or may not know the real purposes behind this trip. If Delatorre hasn’t been taken down yet, they will want Doll to keep him breathing. If Delatorre has been handled, this could be retaliation. Either way Doll is their target. Time to keep up appearances I smile at Doll to ease her fears.

Walking up behind Doll, I wrap my arms loosely around her waist. Turning her, I keep my body between her and the car. Dropping my head, I lightly bite at the sweet spot where her neck and shoulder meet. She softens beneath me. Running my nose up her neck as I inhale her scent, reaching her ear, I whisper to her.

“Stay close, do exactly as I say, we’ve been followed.” She nods her head in agreement. “At the bathroom door, I’m going to kiss you. When I do, my body will be blocking their vision. You need to reach in the waist band of my jeans and grab the pistol and tuck it into your jeans. Then you go in the bathroom and lock yourself inside a stall. You don’t come out until Sass arrives to get you. If anyone comes inside that isn’t me, Rex, or Sass, you shoot them. Hellions cut or not, shoot first ask questions later. My boys are coming for backup but they won’t come in here to get you, only me, Sass, or Rex. Got it?” I say, needing her to understand that these men could kill us and get a Hellions cut so she can only answer for people she can recognize.

Once again she nods. I feel her shudder beneath me. I begin pushing us forward, walking behind her, still wrapped around her. The embrace is close like lovers. Under other circumstances it would be intimate, but in this moment, it’s about her safety.

At the bathroom door, I lean down and kiss her wrapping my hands around her head. Adrenaline mixes with an unknown emotion as I sweep my tongue inside her mouth. I don’t want to ever stop kissing her, but right now I’ve got to get rid of our problem. I feel the gun being pulled away as she tucks it against her own waist. When she starts to pull away, I pull her head back to me. I kiss her with everything I have in me. If I die right now, I die a happy mother fucker to have shared my last kiss with this woman. Finally, I pull away.

“Be safe, Doll. Remember, no one, but me, Sass, or Rex.” I kiss her forehead as I release her. Pausing for a moment as I watch her disappear in the restroom, I can hear her lock the bathroom door.

Turning around, I’m greeted by none other than the same fucker from the truck stop.

“Don Juan Mother Fuckin’ Pablo. What can I do for you Chico?”

Doll

“Tripp, you son of a bitch, I’m not done talkin’ to you.” He stops on the spot, but doesn’t turn around. Rex and Sass are standing still by their bike watching everything as it continues to unfold. He’s making no attempt to acknowledge me. Frustration running high, I march up behind him. I poke him in the shoulder, in an attempt to get him to turn around. When that fails, I jab my finger into the top of his shoulder. Still, nothing. Walking around to face him, I’m met with a mixture of laughter and lust in his eyes. He’s enjoying this, the fucker.

“You just fucking kissed me. I don’t even know your real damn name and you kissed me! You’ve insulted me, belittled me, taken me from my home to God knows where, and I don’t even know your fucking name!” I say jabbing my finger in his chest. Our eyes are now locked, battling each other in the stare downs of stare downs. My eyes are full of fury and his full of fun, maybe. Is this turning him on?

“If you’re running your mouth so I kiss you again, it ain’t gonna happen Doll. You’re wound up. You need to release the tension. How ‘bout we see if Jared can give you some ink?”

“You have lost your ever lovin’ fuckin’ mind if you think I’m going to let some friend of yours permanently mark my body. Again, I don’t even know your name. Yet, I’m supposed to trust some guy you know to tattoo me? Really? I may end up with Tripp tattooed on my ass.”

He laughs at me. Not the little ‘ha ha you’re so funny’ kind of laugh. No, Tripp folds over holding his stomach because he’s laughing so hard at me.

“What the fuck is so damn funny?”

Tripp stands up. The smile now gone from his face, replaced with his ever present serious glare, he looks directly at me.

“Get your ass inside. Shut the fuck up for two seconds so you can meet Jared.”

He walks off, heading for the front door. Sass is now beside me, as I stand here with a stupid look on my face.

“Come on, Doll. Let’s make the best of it. I’m game for new ink. You should get that tat you’ve been wanting with another damn bird. We’re stuck here until the guys have rested. Jared may be hot or have hot friends. You’re way too bitchy, loosen up some.”

“Sass, Delatorre had cameras in our house. How can I relax?”

“Fuck! He had what? Come on, let’s get inside and figure this shit out.” She says, taking me by the hand to the front door.

Walking inside we are surrounded by the designs on the red painted walls. Each intricate piece of work brings something new to life for someone. Hearing the buzzing of the tattoo gun in the back room, I’m immediately itching for a new tattoo. I have a sparrow on my right hip in memory of my mother and a robin on my wrist to represent the bond Sass and I share. Maybe Sass is right, and it’s time to get that tattoo I’ve been wanting on my left hip.

Tripp is leaning against the counter talking to a beautiful lady. She’s probably in her fifties, but time has treated her well. There’s vibrancy in her eyes as she’s chatting with Tripp, her face telling the story of a strong woman. We approach the counter.

“Doll, Sass, this is Momma C. And Momma C, you remember Rex. This is Doll and Sass.”

Introductions out of the way, I’m overwhelmed with a sense of comfort. Momma C gives me a feeling of home. Being around her reminds me of being with the ol’ ladies of the club. The level of nurturing and compassion that is held in the depths of Momma C’s eyes washes over me. I’m smiling and I’m comfortable here even with all the chaos surrounding my life. Tripp was right, I’m safe here. Even without meeting Jared it’s obvious Momma C will protect those around her.

A man with spikey hair, gaged ears, and full sleeved tattoos emerges from the back room. He’s followed by a man that walks over to Momma C pulling out his wallet, making it obvious he is a client. Immediately, the spikey hair man greets Tripp and Rex with that man half hug, back slap shit. When he’s done, he stares at me momentarily. He extends his hand. When I place my hand in his, he holds it.

“Name’s Delilah, but everyone calls me Doll. You must be Jared.” I say looking into his eyes. They tell the story of a strong man.

“Beautiful name for a beautiful woman. Tripp’s a lucky mother fucker.”

I laugh at his comment. “Tripp’s not my man.”

He pulls me into a hug and whispers in my ear, “With the death glare he’s giving me, I think he may disagree, Doll.” He kisses my cheek before releasing me.

He greets Sass quickly and escorts us to the back office area. The client is done paying, raises his hand in a slight salute wave in goodbye as he exits the building.

“Mom’s locking up. Here’s the key to the apartment upstairs. I’ll be here the whole time. No one will get to you without getting through me.” Jared informs us as he’s handing Tripp a key.

We go upstairs to the tiny apartment and settle in. Tripp’s in the shower. I update Sass on what I now know on Delatorre. Sass and I are restless, so we head back down to the tattoo shop. Finding Jared at a desk drawing, I smile at his focus. He seems like he’s good people, and maybe I shouldn’t have doubted Tripp. I need to learn to trust him.

“You need somethin’ Doll, Sass?” Jared asks looking up from his design to both of us.

“I’d like a new tattoo.”

“Sure thing, whatcha thinkin’ of getting?”

“I want an eagle on my left hip, stretching out in flight. Not overly big, but in its talon, I want it holding a very girly heart, not a lifelike heart, a feminine heart and a shield.”

He pauses, as a strange look comes across his face. “Doll, why do you want this specific tattoo?”

“An eagle represents the freedom of the motorcycle club world I live in. It’s talon holding my heart and a shield for protection. All my life I’ve been guarded and loved by all of the Hellions, not just my dad.”

“You’re sure you want an eagle and not the Hellions insignia?”

Irritation consumes me. Why is he questioning me? This is his job. I’ll pay for the damn tat. Cocking my hand on my hip, I glare at Jared. “It’s not my place to wear the insignia. Look, if you don’t want to do the tat that’s fine, just say so, enough with the bullshit.” Looking over at Sass for some sort of comfort as my frustration builds, she shrugs her shoulders like this is no big deal.

Hearing a noise behind me, I turn to see Tripp in the doorway. His hair down and wet. With his arms over his head gripping the door frame, and his jeans slung low on his hips, I can clearly see the toned ‘v’ of his lower abdomen peeking out from his shirt. The tattoos on his arms on display, as usual. Holy hell, he’s hot.

“What bullshit?” Tripp asks looking back and forth between Jared and me.

“Nothin’. I wanted ink, but Jared’s asking eighteen hundred questions like I’m trying to get married or some shit.”

“Hold the fuck up, princess. Tripp may be interested to know the exact tattoo you’re talkin’ about marking your body with.” Jared pipes up. Sass backs away from me, leaving me inching closer to Tripp.

“I wanted an eagle with an outstretched talon holding a heart and shield. It’s whatever now, you guys seem to know better. I’ll get my fucking ink elsewhere. I’m going to bed.” As I start to move to the doorway, Tripp moves his arms off the frame. Great, he’s going to block my exit. Then, I watch as he removes his shirt. The ink adorning his body is all on display. I see the tats of his forearms go all the way up his shoulders and he has a dragon that peeks on both sides, maybe it wraps across his back. What has my attention though, is the large eagle over his left shoulder blade is coming down with an extended talon holding a lifelike heart and a shield.

He says nothing, as his muscles twitch involuntarily. Before I can stop myself, I’m standing mere inches from him, as I reach out and slowly trace the details of the design. I start at the white of the eagles head, delicately I outline the bird. As I reach his talon, Tripp stiffens underneath me. He grabs my hand holding it to his heart, the very place the heart of the tattoo lands. He drops his head, our faces cheek to cheek. His hair has fallen down off his shoulder it tickles my face as his breathing sends chills down my spine as it hits my ear.

“My name is Talon Ward Crews. Talon is for an eagle’s talon as its tool and its weapon. Ward meaning guard and protector. The eagle guards and protects my heart.” He whispers to me.

Tripp

The thoughts of having her like this for my lifetime brings warmth deep inside of me. Today, I bring her back to my house. Tonight, I will have her in my bed. Tomorrow, I return her to her world. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my lifeline. Tomorrow, I say goodbye to my heart because when I leave, I leave it with her. As much as it’s going to suck, I’m going to leave her. It’s going to crush me, but I’m going to walk away. The other thing Pop’s always said, “Don’t give your woman unnecessary pain.” My life would be unnecessary pain for Doll.

I have all of today, tonight, and tomorrow’s ride to make sure Doll knows she’s my treasure. Starting in this moment, when I gently rub the back of my hand against her face. Knowing she’s asleep, I share what’s on my mind.

Whispering to her, “You’re everything, Doll. You’re the good in me. When the days get long, you’ll be what pulls me through. I’m gonna let you go, but I’m always gonna carry you with me.” I watch her breathing.

No longer able to contain myself, I move to kiss her forehead. Rolling her over, I kiss her cheek, then her neck. She’s waking up under me. I take my time trailing kisses over her neck and collar bone. She reaches up, running her fingers through my hair. Our eyes meet. The words are on the tip of my tongue, but unable to come out. I see the love this woman has for me in the depths of those piercing blue eyes. Does she see what I feel for her? Does she see the man behind the bike? Rather than speak the words, I spend my morning making love to her body. Taking in every second of this and committing it to my memory in a way to last me a lifetime.

Tomorrow, she’ll be home. Tomorrow, our ride will end. Tomorrow, I’ll be man enough to walk away. We’re in too deep. I never should’ve let this happen, emotions and entanglements are things I don’t do. Today, I’ll give her all of me. Today, I’ll take everything I can. Today, I’ll let my weakness for her consume me.

photoe90f2-synopsisA curious woman

Ashley Paxon understands responsibility. After her fiancé left her alone and pregnant, she forged a new life for herself and her daughter. Moving to Dallas, she went back to school and found a job at a club called Sanctum. As one of the BDSM club’s waitresses, she watches the Doms and their submissives every night. She yearns to explore their lifestyle of discipline and power exchange, but she knows she wouldn’t belong.

A wounded man

Keith Langston believes in living in the moment. Haunted by the past, he moves from one casual relationship to the next and never looks back. But the moment he lays eyes on Ashley, something primal and possessive takes over. He can’t stop thinking about her and yet he knows he can’t offer her what she needs. Having her seems impossible until Sanctum’s owner, the mysterious Ian Taggart, makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

The perfect contract

Offered the chance to train Ashley and initiate her into the D/s lifestyle, Keith is delighted to accept. Under the guidelines of a carefully crafted contract, they lose themselves in the pleasures and intimacies of being Master and submissive. But when Ashley and her daughter are threatened, Keith realizes she needs much more than a part-time Dom. To protect her, he will have to break through the barriers of their contract and finally face the demons haunting his heart.

A Masters and Mercenaries Novella

6e57f-reviewbigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472Unconditional is a heart-wrenching tale about love, loss, and the opportunity to love again.  Lexi takes you on a provocative and emotional journey that will have you fanning yourself with the tissues one minute and then have you wiping your tears away.  This book reminds us that if you open your heart, no matter how broken, that you can be loved and can give love again.

Keith is sexy bad ass.  He has been around the block a few times and knows just what Ashley needs.  The question becomes is he up to the task, or is he going to hold himself back.  When Keith finds out that Ashley has never experienced pleasure during sex it his is undoing.

Ashley sees herself as broken.  She is a single mother, has the stretch marks to prove it, and has never experienced an orgasm.  She believes that her girlie parts are well…just broken.

Ian comes up with a plan that he thinks will help Ashley build up her self-esteem and give him a chance to see if Keith is really able to be the Dom that he professes to be.

The chemistry between Ashley and Keith is scorching hot.  They met briefly once before at her sister Jill’s wedding to Ryan, the clubs manager.  Keith was attracted to Ashley then but she was too innocent for him.  There was no way that she would accept his lifestyle.  So when Ian brings him a signed contract from her Keith almost comes in his leathers.  Ashley is a still a BDSM virgin and Keith has to tread lightly or Ashley could get spooked and walk away.

This story made me laugh and cry, and touched my heart.  Seeing Keith with Ashley’s little girl was my undoing. I could read it over and over again. I loved Ashley’s sassy mouth and her need for independence.  I could relate to her since I am a single mother of two myself.  I really got the giggles when Keith got jealous over her sassy banter with the bartender.  This novella lives up to the Master’s and Mercenaries standard of hotness.  It is 5 scorching stars.  The scenes performed by Keith and Ashley will have you breaking out BOB and looking for the spare batteries…or…you could always just break out BOB and his other brother BOB and be good to go.

If you like watching a hot scorching Dom being brought to his knees by a lovely sassy sub then you will love Unconditional.

Hard Glamour by Maggie Marr Blog Tour, Review, and **Giveaway**

Hard-Glamour-Tour-BannerHard Glamour Covere90f2-synopsis

A promise to keep….

Honoring her mother’s last wish, Lane Channing vows to follow her dreams. She takes the ‘big risk’ and leaves her small Kansas town behind and heads to LA, the city of dreams. She’s got a stellar job lined up, an old jeep, and 20 bucks to last her to her first paycheck. Her hopes shatter when she arrives to find her job’s been given to someone else.  Now she’s broke and will soon be living on the streets if she doesn’t do something fast. Welcome to cutthroat – Lane is most certainly not in Kansas anymore.

On the cusp of success…

Dillon MacAvoy has one goal–to become a star–whatever it takes. Even if it means honing his bad-boy can’t-be-tamed-and-forever-single image. Besides the image isn’t far from the truth. Dillon cares only about his younger brother and his career. He’s on the brink of superstardom if he can just decide on the next right script. But for that, he needs a script reader he can trust.

In a strange twist of fate…

Lane Channing is Dillon’s last chance. If Lane lasts the summer without becoming MacAvoy’s latest conquest, she’s guaranteed a job in entertainment. No problem, as long as she can ignore the heat that pulses through her every time Dillon is in the room. After all, love and commitment with a sweet, hometown girl would only ruin the Dillon MacAvoy brand.

6e57f-reviewbigstock_Five_stars_Mesh_13933472Hard Glamour will take you on a emotional journey of heart.  What the heart wants…well…is what the heart wants.  I love reading bad boy/good girl romance.  Maggie Marr puts together an amazing story about finding true love at the worst possible time.  Dillon is a hot, sexy, and tattooed bad boy.  I am a sucker for a smokin hot bad boy with tattoos.  She had me hooked right then and there.  Lane is an innocent from Kansas.  Poor girl has to deal with the “Dorothy” comments quite a bit and I really feel her pain.

I love the tug of war relationship that Dillon and Lane have.  He is such a jerk at first and she dishes it right back.  He shows her kindness and she is sweet but then he is a jerk again.  Dillon knows that Lane is untouchable.  She is not the love ’em and leave ’em kind that Dillon is used to and well he needs a friggen reader because he has ran off everyone before her.  He needs her help and so he will have to behave himself.

Lane knows that Dillon is a bad boy and that she was lucky to get this gig.  As long as she does not sleep with him her future is secure at the agency.  Since Lane has never been with a man that should be easy right?  WRONG!  She is attracted to Dillon as soon as she sees him let his guard down.  He is sweet to his rescue dogs and very loyal to his brother Choo.

I loved this story.  Dillon shows a side of himself to Lane that he has never shown anyone before.  Her kindness, beauty, and understanding gets a hold of Dillon’s heart and will not let go.  When Lane sees Dillon’s vulnerability she falls for him too.  The sex is scorching hot.  This review does come with a BOB warning.  Dillon is an amazing lover that will have you squirming in your seat and seeking some relief.  Hot Damn!  What that man can do with his fingers and his tongue should be outlawed.

If you are a junkie like me and can’t get enough of “the bad boy falls for the good girl” smokin hot romance you will love Hard Glamour.
