About CLOSER:

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Kylie Scott comes a new story in her Stage Dive series…

When a stalker gets too close to plus-size model Mae Cooper, it’s time to hire some muscle.

Enter former military man turned executive protection officer Ziggy Thayer. Having spent years guarding billionaires, royalty, and rock n roll greats, he’s seen it all. From lavish parties through to every kind of excess.

There’s no reason some Instagram stylista should throw him off his game. Even if she does have the most dangerous curves he’s ever seen…

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

Excerpt:

I’d had bodyguards before. But only for events like fashion week or a big shoot. Just for a limited amount of time. My contract with Ziggy, however, was open ended, dependent on the heart in the box situation. Once he’d grilled me about what the police were doing (investigating my entire life), my routine (I don’t really have one. It’s consumed by work), and my calendar for the next few days (I’d freed up time to finish unpacking and then back to work on my lingerie line), he drove me to the gym. There was one I used a couple of times in the apartment building, but I generally do better with some active encouragement and guidance.

Guess Ziggy approved of my Land Rover because he gave it another one of those almost-smiles. I, however, continued to receive the full professional cold front face. This was definitely going to take some getting used to.

“Who’s your shadow?” asked Kwana, my awesome trainer.

I paused mid-lunge, my breath coming hard and fast. “My bodyguard, Ziggy. You like him?”

“He’s pretty. Don’t stop, keep moving.”

“Yeah, yeah.”

“You don’t usually have one of them around. Have you been getting hassled or something?”

Kwana stood with her arms crossed, all lean muscles beneath brown skin. Since we were in an open area at the end of the main part of the gym, Ziggy waited over by the wall, just out of earshot. He stood with his arms loose at his side, his gaze constantly wandering a circuit from me—around the room, over to the exits, and back again. Always on alert.

“More a precaution than anything,” I said.

No matter how much I liked Kwana, no one outside my inner circle needed to know about the incident. The fewer people who found out about the gross cow heart and knife the better.

There’d been no further news from the police. Though it was never likely they’d track down a suspect and charge that person the next day.

Case closed, hooray!

Michel’s Review

It’s always a delight to read anything written by Kylie Scott. It is an extra bonus when her latest novella is set in the Stage Dive world and we get to re-visit some of our favorite rockers and yes that  includes the one of a kind percussionists that doles out dating advice while parenting his puppy. Alas, the Stage Dive members are not the stars of this novella but one of their security team agents, Ziggy Thayer, has been hired to protect their neighbor, plus size super- model Mae Cooper.  While Ziggy is all kinds of hot and can rock a suit, he is also good at his job. He’s her to protect Mae.

Mae has a stalker who has been sending bloody gifts that are raising all kinds of warning flags. The stalker has escalated from threatening letters to threatening gifts. Ziggy believes this is only the beginning and wants to find the person behind the threats. Although He loves protecting Mae but would rather put his hands on her a different way. She has won his heart with her down to earth personality and great sense of humor. Why anyone would want to hurt this beautiful soul is beyond him but he knows there are all kinds of crazies in the world. It’s his job to neutralize the crazy.

Mae and Ziggy are dancing around what they really want to do with each other. When the threat is finally eliminated… watch out because these two are going to bring down the house.

Once again Kylie Scott wrote a delightful novella and created fun-loving, likable characters that make the Stage Dive world even more delightful. She added her special blend of snarky humor and sarcasm while also maintaining a sexy romance. I loved it!

Closer is a fun, fast paced novella that will keep the reader fully engaged and entertained.

Darkest Sinner, an all-new standalone paranormal romance by Rachel Van Dyken is LIVE!

DarkSinner_eBook_HighRes.jpg

I’ve always known pain. Existence. Night.

Made a sinner.

Without a soul to keep me tethered to the world I so desperately want to be a part of but am damned to rule…

Life isn’t living.

Not when everyone sees you as enemy number one, King of the demon race and yet something much more… powerful and sinister pulses beneath the surface of my skin.

It started when I met her, the power surging under my fingertips like the cruel universe was finally answering my screams at night for something more.

And just like that, the memories come, only I don’t know if they’re mine or someone else’s entirely.

Long ago, I made a bargain with a god.

A soul for a soul.

I spent thousands of years without this awareness and now?

Everything I touch turns to ash.

Even my own immortal friends fear what I am.

Everyone but her. The day to my night.

Part of me doesn’t want to know what I am.

But it’s too late, too all-consuming.

Michel’s Review

Darkest Sinner by Rachel Van Dyken is the latest release in the Dark Ones Saga. It can be read as a standalone or in series order. I would highly recommend reading the entire series because the paranormal world is already established and many of the key players have been introduced in previous books.  The Dark Ones have been assigned certain roles in the modern contemporary world. They are the protectors and keepers of the balance between good and evil. What happens when the balance has been rocked and is going off kilter. It can upset the balance and change the roles of each protector. This could redefine the world as we know it.

Timber, the king of demons, is losing his borrowed soul. He is reaching the point of no return when he meets the new waitress in his bar. The moment he meets Kyra he feels a connection that could either completely destroy him or restore his diminishing existence.

Throughout the ages these two souls were meant to be together. Will they find a way to make it work before it’s too late? Read the book!

I thoroughly enjoyed Darkest Sinner. It was brilliant how Rachel Van Dyken intertwined two ancient civilization religions and mythology to blend into one. I highly recommend this book!

I play to win, and I won’t let anything—or anyone—get in the way of what I want.

REVEAL, the raw, sexy, and jaw-dropping finale to the Wicked Ways series by New York Times bestselling author K. Bromberg, is available now!

cover169622-medium

The first time I met Vaughn Sanders, I knew I wanted her. Confident, intelligent, and downright sexy. I thought I knew how to play her game. I was ready and willing for the challenge. Little did I know she was full of secrets and surprises.

But so am I.

Charming a woman into my bed has never been my problem. It’s the relationship part that is. They want it. I don’t. But can you blame me? Broken marriages are how I make a living. Hell, no self-respecting man would let a woman own his thoughts, invade his dreams, and steal his heart. So how in the world has Vaughn done that to me?

I’ve fallen in love with her. There. I said it. But that acknowledgment comes with a heavy price.

Everything and everyone seem to be working against us, leaving us both to question whether what we have is worth the cost.

I’ll be damned if I go down without a fight.

BLURB

 

It started out like any normal day.

 

Then the fender bender happened.

 

The guy I collided with drove an expensive car and was drop-dead gorgeous. Too bad he was also a total jerk. We argued over whose fault it was and any other thing that came out of his condescending mouth.

Eventually, the police came and we went our separate ways. The insurance companies would have to figure things out. I had a job interview to get to anyway—one I was excited about.

 

Though that excitement changed to disappointment the moment the person interviewing me walked in. The guy from the accident.

 

Whoops!

 

Yeah, so I didn’t get the position.

 

The problem was, I really wanted it. No, I needed it. Anything to get me out of my current career and back into working with kids.

 

So, even though Hollis LaCroix was as intimidating as he was devastatingly handsome, I went back to see him and begged for a chance.

 

To my surprise, he gave me a shot taking care of his troubled niece.

 

At least my attraction to him wouldn’t be able to go anywhere. I wasn’t about to jeopardize my job or the strong bond Hailey and I formed.

 

But resisting the magnetic pull between us wasn’t that simple. (Then there was our little underwear game—don’t ask.)

 

We continued to flirt without crossing the line—until it finally happened.

 

This is the part of the story where we fall in love and live happily ever after, right?

 

Well, life has a way of throwing some major curveballs.

 

Ours was one I didn’t see coming.

Teaser 2

Excerpt

Copyright © 2019

By Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland

“Would you like something to drink, Hollis?”

“No, thank you.”

He looked completely uncomfortable standing in my kitchen, so of course, I needed to make it worse. I tilted my head. “Did you touch any?”

“What?”

“My panties. Did you touch any while you were in the bathroom?”

He tugged at the collar of his polo and looked down the hall. “Where did she go? We need to get back on the road.”

Oh my God!

I’d been kidding around. But…holy shit…he had! I covered my mouth and cracked up. “You did, didn’t you! You perv!”

Hollis walked down the hall. “Hailey…let’s get going.”

I couldn’t get the smile off my face. Something about the thought of Hollis touching my underwear amused the hell out of me. I wished Hailey wasn’t around so I could ask him if he’d smelled them, too. That thought actually made me snort.

Hollis came back to the kitchen. His face was stern. “We’ll see you on Monday.”

I walked them to the door. Hailey surprised me with a hug. “Your art stuff is awesome.”

“Thank you, sweetheart.”

I grinned at Hollis, who was impatiently holding the door open for his niece. “Your uncle thinks my stuff is awesome, too.”

Teaser 1

 

5+Star

Park Avenue Player is the latest release by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland.  This dynamic writing team is known for their sexy, sassy, snarky, sizzling hot romance novels. It all began with a sexy Aussie and a fainting goat and has evolved from road tripping to the busy streets of NYC with the Park Avenue Player. They have kept their readers enchanted with their ultra sexy hero’s, sassy leading ladies, and unusual lovable pets.

Hollis LaCroix and Elodie Atlier started off on the wrong foot, or should I say with a fender bender. They were both late for an appointment. The appointment just happened to be with one another. Elodie was interviewing to become the nanny for his eleven year old niece who was quickly entering the TWEEN era. Hollis needs someone who can handle a rebellious tween and sensitive girl. He needs someone who is stable and dependable. His first impression of Elodie is not good and he thinks she’s a bit quirky until he sees her interacting with his impressionable niece.

What begins as a “Nanny” + “Employer” romance evolves into something else entirely.

Park Avenue Player is an emotional story about family, friendship, love, heartache, and every aspect of life. Hollis is an exceptional human beneath his polished surface. Elodie is more than a quirky woman, she is dependable in the most important way. Hollis and Hailey can count on her to be there for them through thick and thin. Together the three of them will find their ” happy” in life. Add a magnificent bird named Huey that Baaas after he meets a certain goat at the vets office and some very endearing friends and Park Avenue Player becomes more than just a typical romance. It becomes an extraordinary  story of life and love.

I highly recommend reading Park Avenue Player by Penelope Ward and Vi Keeland. It is their best novel to date!

Blurb:
Eight years ago, I gave Grayson Price a piece of my heart.

To him, I was the strange girl whose mom had just abandoned her.
To me, he was a savior, an anchor, someone who stood beside me on that beach.

The next time I saw him, I was twenty, and he was thirty-six.

He didn’t remember me.
And when he flirted…
I didn’t tell him.

By the time he found out, it was too late.
We tried to deny our desire, but our attraction was too enticing.

Eight years ago, I gave Grayson Price a piece of my heart.

Too bad he’s my dad’s best friend.

Heat Factor: 4 stars

Overall Rating: 4 stars

“He wants me. He wants me bad. He just doesn’t want to.” River Reed

When I first read the synopsis for Entice and learned it was an age gap romance/forbidden love story I immediately knew I had to read it.

I am not new to Ava Harrison and her stories. Like most of Ava’s books, she tackles serious subject matter and her development of characters is always genuine, providing depth, personality and humanly quirks which makes her characters so raw and real for readers.

After meeting when she was just twelve years old, River has maintained deep rooted feelings for her father’s best friend Grayson Price. Now on the verge of being twenty-one, River is hardly that little girl she once was and once again encounters Grayson who is now in his late thirties.

The past eight years have been good to Grayson Price. He’s wickedly handsome, fit and very successful… But he’s also very broody and closed off. It’s like he’s lost his zest for life.

Now that she’s older and not that little girl anymore, River will do whatever it takes to prove to Grayson that age is just a number and that their chemistry and connection is all that matters.

There is lots of angst and lots of steamy chemistry between these two characters.

This story is more than just an age gap/forbidden romance. River and Grayson are both battling inner demons that both unite and work against them throughout the story. There is subject matter that may be sensitive to readers so tissues may be required.

Gabriela

Stefan Sabbioni showed up uninvited in my bedroom on my sixteenth birthday. He stood in the shadows smelling of whiskey and death and wrapped a broken, blood-crusted necklace around my neck. I thought he’d strangle me with it.

That night, he left a message for my father. He said he’d be back to take something precious.

I never delivered that message, though. I wonder if things would be different if I had because now, two years later, he’s back. And he’s not hiding in any shadows.

He’s come to make good on his promise.

He’s back to take that something precious.

Me.

Stefan

Marchese is the manipulator of my family’s tragedy. I won’t just bring him to his knees. I’ll bury him for what he did.

Taking his daughter is only the beginning. I’ll do it knowing I’m starting a war. I’ll do it knowing my enemies will become his allies. They’ll stop at nothing to destroy me and he’ll stop at nothing to get her back.

I’ve never shied away from war, though. I’m not one to play nice and I don’t share my toys. I’ll demolish you if you touch what’s mine.

And she is most definitely mine.

Overall Rating: 4.5 stars

“That’s another point you’re wrong on. See, you’re in my world now. And in my world, I make the rules and you obey them. I. Own. You.” -Stefan Sabbioni

Collateral is book one in the Collateral Damage Duet by Natasha Knight. This is the first book I’ve read by this author and I must say I really enjoyed this book.

Gabriela Marchese is the eighteen-year-old daughter of Gabriel Marchese, a calculating and ruthless mobster. Stuck in the crosshairs of her father’s dirty deeds and manipulation, Gabriela finds herself bound by a contract her father signed, to marry another ruthless mobster, Stefan Sabbioni.

Removed from her home and placed in the care of a stranger, Gabriela struggles to come to terms with her impending future. Stubborn to the core, Gabriela will not give Stefan the upper hand… but that doesn’t mean he won’t take it.

Gabriela is immature throughout this story, but keep in mind she is young and has been sheltered her whole entire life. Her stubbornness and defiance do make interaction with Stefan interesting though since he is a control freak.

Stefan… holy hotness!! He is a complete dominant at the core. He wants control so bad and is used to having it in all things. Let’s not forget his perfect body and a hot chest tattoo…swoon!

The story is well crafted. The flow in which the story unfolds is pleasantly surprising as the author took time to build the world in which this story takes place and the where the characters reside. This story is the definition of a slow burn romance. I liked that she took two characters, who were complete strangers and took her time to show the development of their relationship as the story unfolds. There are definitely still a lot of trust issues to work out between these two, but I feel when the time is right, the pages are going to explode with all the pent-up chemistry these two are giving off!

I’m looking forward to seeing what’s in store for the second part of this story.

4.5 stars
