From the New York Times & USA Today bestselling author who brought you the Nice Girl to Love trilogy, comes A Nice GUY to Love spin-off…

Synopsis

Brian Sullivan has been in love twice in his lifetime. He lost his first love to early-onset Huntington’s, and he lost the other more recently…to his brother. And somehow, his heart has managed to heal itself after both. Amazingly, without therapy. That doesn’t mean Brian hasn’t gotten more wary along the way, however. In fact, he’s been thinking lately that maybe his brother’s now retired nothing-but-flings rule isn’t such a bad idea. Unfortunately, being the nice guy poster boy and all, he isn’t exactly versed in the fine art of flings. So he looks to the outrageously ‘unique,’ provokingly button-pushing Tessa Daniels for a crash course.

There’s absolutely no way he’s falling in love with this one…right?

Tessa has no idea what she was thinking telling Brian that she was some sort of fling expert. She’s never been flung before and she sure as heck doesn’t know where or how to begin flinging a guy like Brian. It was a temporary lapse in sanity, really–no doubt because of the can’t-help-but-fall-for-him brain fuzz that hits her whenever he’s around. Not only does the man have her being more herself than she’s ever been in her life, but he’s the only person she knows who seems to have as many demons and skeletons in the closet as she does. What’s more, he’s got her thinking of the one thing she stopped letting herself even hope for years ago.

A happily ever after.

My Review

Does true love only come once in a lifetime? How can you do everything right and still end up with a death sentence? Do you run and hide or do you love life to the fullest?

Brian Sullivan has done everything right. He was the rock his wife Beth needed when she was diagnosed with Huntington’s Disease (HD). He stood by her even when she did not remember who he was. He is now the sole caregiver for his daughter Skylar and she is showing signs of having the horrible disease his wife fought for years. He really believed that Abby was the one for him, but she chose his brother Connor in the end. They are still really good friends, but it is not the same. He is so lost and lonely..

Tessa has done everything right. She took care of her sister and father when their HD was at its worst. She worked several jobs to keep them afloat and pay for their medical bills. Her mother walked out on them and left Tessa to pick up the pieces. She loved her family with all her heart and would not have given up her time with them for the world. She has never allowed anyone to get close to her for fear of losing them someday.

What happens when Brian and Tessa cross paths? Will each of them find the one person that can complete them? Could they have another chance at true love? Nobody else understands what it is like loosing someone to HD like they do. Or will this terrible disease drive a wedge between them and keep them from ever loving anyone again?

Violet does an excellent job teaching the reader about this terrible disease and the toll that it takes on the person that has HD as well as how it affects their friends and family. She shows us in this story that no matter how much time you might think you have on this earth, that you should live and love to the fullest. This book had me sobbing at one point and laughing at Tessa and her quirkiness that drove Brian mad. Brian is such a caring, kind soul and to top it off is smokin hot. He is an alpha male warrior when it comes to Tessa. I think his character might be have been inspired by MVD if I had to guess.

This book is about taking chances on love and living life to the fullest even in it’s darkest hours. If you like a hero and heroine that are willing to fight for each other and can beat the odds then you will love this wonderful love story.

To Celebrate the Release of Finding the Right Girl I am giving away five swag bags that I obsconded with at the Southern Magic RWA Readers Luncheon this past weekend.  Each bag is filled with tons of swag including e-books, three randomly selected books, and one hardcover copy of Deborah Coonts So Darn Lucky.  A special thanks goes out to the Southern Magic RWA Vice President for donating these awesome bags for me to giveaway.

My Review 

Hello, as you probably know already, my name is Maja. I’m 28 years old and live in Denmark.

I want to share a little bit about myself and my private life because I want to stay true to who I am and that’s being open and honest.

I’m a single mom to my precious son, Tobias. He’s my blessing and teacher in life – that may sound a little weird but he’s shown me so much, thanks to him, I’ve learned how to fight and to keep on fighting. You see, my son is very sick from some unknown illness and doctors have given up but I haven’t and I will never ever give up.

Last year I read the Fifty Shades book series and loved it, obviously who didn’t?! Anyways, it got me thinking that maybe I should start writing again and let my imagination run wild. I started writing on another story, actually, from a man’s perspective but then Eye Telling came creeping in my mind and I started writing on that instead because I wanted to create a story where the lead male character isn’t a rich and career-minded man in an expensive designer suit but instead a regular but HOT guy who’s not as fortunate. He has a youthful clothing style and tattoos. He had a hell of a childhood but his ‘demons’ isn’t standing in the way of him wanting to be with Katherine (the lead female character).

In this story Katherine is the one who can’t seem to commit.

I never thought it would develop into a full length novel, but somehow it did and I’m so proud to have published my very own romance. It’s been a sweet escape for a sometimes rough everyday life and I can’t wait to share more of my stories.

XOXO Maja

Synopsis

Jane Black has written the breakup album of the century, earning her a Grammy, a huge legion of new fans, and the pressure to repeat her success. Sure, the heartbreak from her husband’s unconventional abandonment might have been her inspiration, but it hasn’t done her any favors in the dating department. So when Matthew Harrigan, the toughest music journalist out there, asks for an interview, Jane agrees—as long as her personal life is completely off-limits.

British, gorgeous, and way too tempting, Matthew’s the first guy Jane’s been attracted to since her husband. As she spends more time with him and their relationship heats up, though, so does her writer’s block. How can the queen of the breakup pen the perfect follow-up when she’s seriously in love?

My Review

Lauren Blakely delivers a sinfully delicious love story that includes a sexy Brit that will have you so hot and bothered that you will want to tear off your knickers.

Matthew Harrigan is a british music critic for Beat Magazine.  He is smitten with Jane Black an up and coming rock star and has a secret crush that he can no longer deny.

Jane Black has just had the rug ripped out from under her when her husband reveals a deep dark secret that ultimately ends their marriage.  Janes break-up of her marriage inspires her to create an album that rises to the top of the charts very quickly and launches her into stardom.

But what happens when Jane gets over her husband and no longer is holding on to the pain of their break-up?  Was the pain the driving force behind her ability to write great music? Have the Gods of Rock-n-Roll abandoned her?

Maybe all she needs is a sexy Brit to inspire her…

Lauren does an excellent job developing her characters through their dialogue with each other.  Some of my favorite scenes from this story are the e-mail exchange between Jane and Matthew, the blowjob scene (you have to read the book for this scene alone), and I would be remiss if I did not mention the hot and steamy conversation filled with innuendo in the market.

If you love a hot, steamy, and sexy forbidden love story with a few surprises that will put a huge smile on your face, and can speak with a sexy british accent in your head, (if not here is a link to several videos for the top 10 sexist male actors with british accents http://thecelebritycafe.com/feature/2013/08/top-10-sexiest-actors-uk-accents) I assure you that will find Far Too Tempting to be a stupendously sexy read.

SYNOPSIS

He is seeking absolution.

Flynn Caldwell has a hero complex and it’s one of the reasons he joined the New York City Fire Department. He has spent his entire professional career trying to atone for that one person he failed to save. Because, if he can do that, then perhaps he can be worthy of love again.

šShe is seeking escape.

Rowan Page’s life is nothing short of a disaster. Always immersed in trouble, she has only herself to depend on. She’s determined to pull herself out of this mess and make something of her life, despite the hard years she has lived on the streets of New York.

šTogether, they have the chance to become complete.

Flynn and Rowan’s worlds exist miles apart, but when a chance meeting brings them together, neither of them can deny the instant pull that connects them to each other. What starts as a tiny spark eventually flares into a fire so hot, it refuses to be extinguished.

šBoth are willing to jump feet first into the flames to see where it takes them, despite the risk of being burned.

MY REVIEW

You can only imagine what happens when a smoking hot fireman with a hero complex tries to rescue a damsel in distress that is no way interested in being rescued…A whole lot angst and sexual tension are sure to follow.

Flynn Caldwell has a track record for dating women with a lot of baggage that he thinks he can save.  His family and friends are tired of seeing Flynn brokenhearted when these women leave him behind.

“My family and friends would be thinking there goes Flynn…off to save another soul…”

Rowan Paige has never experienced love even as a child she was neglected.  She has been taking care of herself for a very long time and does not need anyone’s help. However lately she has not made the best decisions.  When she finds herself shackled to a bed in a burning house..she questions herself in that shacking up with a drug dealer may not have been such a good idea.  Still she is stubborn to the core.  Flynn just wants to help her find her dog…well for now anyway…

Rowan-“I told you I don’t need your help, so you might as well turn around and march out of here, too.”

Flynn-“Well, tough shit…I’m going to help you find your dog whether you like it or not.  And it will get done a lot faster if we work with each other rather than against each other.”

I love me a hot alpha Caldwell male. Whew!  Sawyer once again does an outstanding job developing her characters.  Rowan is like a feral cat but Flynn knows exactly how to calm her down and break away at the ice that surrounds her heart. He knows how important it is for Rowan to earn her keep and admires her for it.  Rowan is also very funny, smart, and sexy, and it is easy to see Flynn become smitten with her.

A man can only take so much though, and Rowan has a concrete wall surrounding her heart.  Will she push him too hard and lose her only friend and the man of her dreams…

If you have read any of the Off Series you will love Off Chance.  Plus Emily and Nix have a cameo in this book and they are my favorite Off Couple.  (It would seem that I have an addiction to hot military alpha heros…go figure).

 EXCERPT FROM OFF CHANCE

I can only imagine what Thanksgiving would be like with the Caldwells. There will be plenty of good food, lots of laughter, and probably some naps when it’s all said and done.

“And Capone can come, too,” Flynn throws in to entice me further, but I’d already decided to accept.

“Okay. We’re in. Can you ask your mom what I can bring?”

“I’ll ask but I know she’ll say ‘don’t bring a thing but yourself’.”

I laugh over Flynn’s impersonation of his mom’s Irish accent. “In that case, don’t bother asking and I’ll just bring something. Maybe a pie.”

“You can cook?” Flynn asks with astonishment.

“Of course I can cook,” I tell him with indignation.

“Then how come all we ever have is pizza or bologna sandwiches when it’s your turn to cook?”

“Just because I can cook, doesn’t mean I want to. This is the twenty-first century pal… get with the times. Women have shed the chains of slavery and we no longer serve you menfolk.”

Flynn throws his head back and starts howling with laughter, then he pitches forward, holding the hand with Capone’s leash to his stomach while he laughs, with the other holding onto his hot cocoa. It’s infectious and I start laughing along with him.

He looks at me and our eyes meet.

Then it happens… there is almost a crackle in the air, like electricity is flowing between us. Flynn’s laughter immediately dies away and the smile slides from my face. The same happens to me and nothing is left in our expressions except a focused intensity on each other. It’s almost as if I can feel heat swirling all around us, and the backdrop of the world fades to black.

Until nothing is left but just Flynn and me.

I call it “The Happening” and it represents those few times when the resolve to just be friends seems to melt away into oblivion. It occurs at the weirdest of times and I have no control over it. When I’m in that moment with Flynn, I want nothing more than for him to grab me and kiss me like I was the oxygen his lungs crave. I want to strip him bare and use just my fingertips to trace every inch of skin on his body. I want to get lost… deeply lost, in Flynn.

“The Happening” hits Flynn just as hard as it hits me. I see the desire light him up from within. I feel the sexual tension pouring off him with visceral awareness, and I swear I can feel his heart moaning for me.

When “The Happening” occurs, I am powerless to fight it. In fact, if Flynn ever made a move to touch me during the event, I would completely submit to him body and soul. But thankfully, Flynn is a stronger person than I am, and he is clearly the more responsible of the two of us. He’ll usually snap out of it first, and bring me crashing back to reality.

Like he does right at this moment.

Synopsis

A Tragic Love Story

Charlotte Dennis’s mission was clear: distract and misdirect CIA operative Ian Taggart by any means necessary. If she failed, she would never see her sister again. With her training, it should have been simple, but after one night in Ian’s arms, she knew that saving her sister would mean losing the man of her dreams.

Ian was tracking a terrorist when he met the beautiful American daughter of a Russian mobster. His instincts told him Charlotte was trouble, but his body craved her like a drug and his heart would not be denied. She took his ring and his collar. For once he was truly happy. But as he closed in on his target, her betrayal cost him his mission while her sacrifice saved his life. As she died in his arms, Ian vowed he would never love again.

A Dangerous Reunion

For five years, Charlotte has thought of nothing but returning to her husband, her Master. Working in the shadows, she has devoted herself to earning a chance to reclaim her place in Ian’s life. But forgiveness isn’t a part of Ian’s vocabulary.

Nothing is more important to Ian Taggart than his new mission. But the information he needs is firmly in the hands of the woman who betrayed him. To catch his most dangerous prey, Ian will have to let Charlotte back into his life. As the hunt takes them to some of the world’s most exotic locations, the danger grows and their passion reignites.

Will Ian forgive his wayward submissive…or lose her again?

My thoughts on the Masters and Mercenaries Series

I have absolutely fallen in love with this series.  Spies, espionage, and intrigue all packaged up in a hot dominant male package.  All the men at McKay-Taggart are smoking hot and the women are amazingly strong sexy submissives.  Ian Taggart has been the constant hard ass in all of the books so far.  He does not do relationships, shows no emotion or weakness, except for one night a year where he gets drunk and listens to Guns and Roses.  You can’t help but want to see him fall hard for a woman.  My heart goes out to Charlotte for trying.  All of the books in this series take the reader on amazing journeys to countries like Scotland and England where these sexy spies get mixed up with Scotland Yard and MI-6.  If you like Jason Bourne meets Fifty Shades of Grey then you will love this series.

My Review

Anyone that has read any of the masters and mercenaries books knows that Ian Taggart can be the worlds biggest jackass. Ian proves himself to be a man of very little kind words once again in “Love and Let Die” when his wife Charlotte comes back from the dead and shows up on his doorstep.

Charlotte is my favorite female leading lady so far in this series because she is a freaking genius spy that is sinfully sexy and sassy as hell. This short little conversation between Charlotte and Ian cracked me up. She is such a little tramp and I love it.

“You tied up my banking accounts. You moved them to another name.” -Ian Taggart

“I should get points for calling you Hottie McHot Pants. I meant it as a compliment. ”-Charlotte Taggart

That is just a little taste of Charlotte Taggart. She proves to be one tough chick that should not be crossed. Once again I could not stop turning the pages to see what was going to happen next. From shootouts to explosions, to spies and espionage, and of course Eli Nelson wreaking havoc… there is more action packed in this book then there was in the last Bond flick. Lexi once again writes a very vivid story with an amazing amount of detail to the point that the reader can close their eyes and imagine that they are there. She develops these awesome characters that are so damaged from their past and you get to watch them as they deal with their inner demons. Charlotte has to deal with the horrible memories of her childhood and what her father did to her and her sister Chelsea. Ian has had a heart of ice for the past five years and has serious trust issues because of Charlotte’s betrayal. The dominant side of Simon also appears when he is confronted with the damage Chelsea is dealing with.

(Please Lexi write a book about Simon. I can already hear that sexy British accent in my head demanding submission.)

If you like action, hot Doms, scorching hot sex scenes, and sassy Subs you must and I say must read “Love and Let Die”.

Thank you once again Lexi Blake for such a kick ass story.
