Synopsis

On the outskirts of Sin City there’s a rough and tumble saloon where the women who are brave enough to enter can mingle with men that are equally magnetic and dangerous. And in this town, no one’s afraid to get a little dirty…

Billionaire playboy Bennett Hughes’ black sheep reputation is well-earned, but that doesn’t stop him from wanting the respect of his family—even if it means tracking down his brother’s gold-digging one-night-stand to earn it. But when Ben finds his intended target to be the opposite of what he expected, his chance at redemption ends in an accidental quickie marriage.

Despite her history, ex-showgirl Liz Palazzo believes in love at first sight, something she thought she experienced with Ben. Determined to put her party-girl reputation behind her, Liz vows to be the best wife ever—even if her husband seems set on keeping their union a marriage of convenience.

But as the sparks fly and their connection grows, Ben starts to wonder if Liz might be the one person who can make him a better man—or if the former bad girl just wants him for his money…

Includes a preview of Rough and Tumble.

Michel’s Review

ARC provided by Publishe, via NetGalley , for a fair and honest review.

Down and Dirty by Crystal Green, book two in the Rough and Tumble series was an entertaining and delightful read. The romance was sizzling hot. The story was fast paced, entertaining, and sexy.

Ben Hughes is the black sheep of his family. He wants to get in good graces with his family and earn their respect. To accomplish this he has to track down his brother’s gold digging one night stand. What he finds is more than he bargained for and is definitely not going to earn him brownie points with his family.

What happens next will delight the readers. Ben has a heart of gold that has been guarded for too long. Liz has a problem with falling in love instantly. When the real deal happens, she will be knocked for a loop. The chemistry between Liz and Ben is explosive. Is it lust or love?

I would recommend this book to readers looking for a light hearted and fun romance.

Author Bio:

 

crystal greenPseudonym for Chris Marie Green and Christine Cody

A long time ago, in a land far, far away (Milwaukee , WI , St. Luke’s Hospital), Chris Marie Green (also writing as Crystal Green) joined the world. While moving to Southern California, Kentucky , then back to California , she amused herself by writing poetry and short stories featuring the ultimate Alpha males–Superman and Indiana Jones. Later, after graduating with a B.A. in English from Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo , Chris decided to become a professional writer.

While she wrote, Chris worked as an eighth-grade teacher, but resigned in 2002 to pursue writing full time. Her critique partners, Sheri WhiteFeather and Judy Duarte are instrumental in her endeavors. Without these talented authors, writing would be a lonely road.

Chris is pumped about her Vampire Babylon series for Ace, which is best described as “noir fantasy-mysteries” featuring a vamp hunter. The first five books, NIGHT RISING, MIDNIGHT REIGN, BREAK OF DAWN (which compose the first trilogy), plus A DROP OF RED and THE PATH OF RAZORS (the first two books in the second trilogy) have already been released. The sixth, DEEP IN THE WOODS, will be on shelves on March 2, 2010. A Vampire Babylon-related novella was released in an anthology entitled FIRST BLOOD. (Note: The Vampire Babylon series uses trilogy arcs to tell one basic story, much like the way JK Rowling used seven books that didn’t solve every plot thread book-by-book to tell Harry Potter’s story. While each individual novel focuses on a central mystery that’s solved by the end, the three books together build character and mythology arcs/mysteries until everything culminates in the third book. Each trilogy repeats this pattern.)

Chris is also writes Silhouette Special Editions (“home and hearth” tales of redemption and community) and Harlequin Blazes (steamy fantasies), and whenever she can, she travels, including backpacking trips in Europe and road trips in America . She also enjoys yoga, hiking, and way too much movie-watching.

Review: The Protector by J. Evans-The Arrangement- Part 1

The protector

 

The Protector

The Arrangement World- Serial- Part 1

By J. Evans (aka Jessie Evans)

Synopsis

A New Story by J. Evans from the world of H.M. WARD’S THE ARRANGEMENT via KINDLE WORLDS.

**This book features appearances by Sean Ferro**

She’ll never be able to go home again…

Aidan Blake’s years in the Marines prepared him for a career as a private detective. They didn’t prepare him to hunt down the woman he sheltered from bullies back in high school. But Sean Ferro needs beautiful Astor Greer’s help to save his fiancee’s life and what Ferro wants, Ferro gets.

But soon it becomes clear Ferro isn’t the only one hunting the sexy, self-assured woman Aidan’s high school crush has become and that Aidan’s feelings for Astor are far from a thing of the past. Now Aidan will have to make a choice–honor his promise to a dangerous man or risk everything to protect the woman he was meant to love.

This novella can be read as a stand alone story even if not familiar with H.M. Ward’s bestselling serial.

Tracey’s Review

Astor Greer’s world changes in an instant. Someone is looking for her, and they’re willing to do pretty much anything to get to her. Forced to run from life as she knew it, Astor leaves the safety of home and family, looking over her shoulder for unknown pursuers. When Aidan Blake, Astor’s high school crush, shows up, she isn’t sure whether he is friend or enemy. Aidan, hired by infamous businessman Sean Ferro to find Astor, can’t fight the feelings that he’s harbored for her for seven long years, and pursuer becomes protector.

Now, if another author said that they were writing a companion novella to H.M. Ward’s THE ARRANGEMENT series, I might read it. But, when J. Evans writes something, well, there’s no question, I’m on it. And, as usual, she does not disappoint. This short little story was as hot, sexy, and action-packed as I’ve come to expect from J. Evans, and I loved every bit of it, from the opening scene to the very last word in the epilogue. Whether you’ve previously read H.M. Ward or not, I’m telling you to grab this jewel and get reading; you will not be disappointed.

Cover Reveal: Dirty Dancing Series by Melody Grace

 

MELODY-BANNER-RELEASE-DATES

Discover the red-hot new series from New York Times bestselling author Melody Grace

Prologue to First Position

A woman dances the same way she fucks.

Soft and self-conscious; lithe and graceful. Or wild. Passionate.

Unleashed.

It’s not just women either. If you want to know how a man will perform between the sheets, just take him to the nearest dance floor. You’ll learn everything you need to know. His stamina, his rhythm, the slow grind of his hips. Some people are born to it, others learn through years of careful study.

And dancers? We fuck best of all.

Our bodies are our instruments, and we use them in a symphony of pure pleasure. We know just how far to push you, the breathless pacing of true art. The rise and fall that will make you beg for mercy; the ache of satisfaction when we give it to you hard and strong.

Dancing is the ultimate in sensual pleasure, a timeless erotic ritual that needs no words.

I thought I knew what it was like to dance with a skilled partner, a woman who could match my every step. My drive.

My passion.

Then I met her.

Every step she takes conjures wild, dark fantasies in my mind. Every sway of those hips demands satisfaction. My hands on her body. Her lips parted in the sweet gasp of release. Easing those sweet thighs apart and sinking inside deep her, inch by ravenous inch.

Her innocence is intoxicating. My lust is fierce. Primal.

To watch her dance is to know the torment of true temptation.

She will be mine.

Tracey’s Review

Jack Sullivan may be the king of an empire devoted to pleasure, but he has what his sister calls ‘issues with intimacy.’ Unable to move on after the death of his fiancee, he has finally promised to see a professional and come to grips with his loss.

Michelle Milo still hasn’t gotten over her 10-year unrequited love for her friend Clay Nichols. Tired of missing something that wasn’t hers to begin with, she’s ready to put the past behind her and get on with her life.

Hot, hot, hot! If a book could spontaneously combust from all of the sexiness, this would be the one.
Lauren Blakely never disappoints in the delivery of a hot and steamy read, and ONE NIGHT WITH HER is no exception. Revisiting some old friends, as well as some new faces, this was a great introduction to Jack Sullivan, sure to become another favorite Blakely Boy. He is over-the-top hot and sexy, and reading his exchanges with Michelle Milo had me fanning myself.

Lauren has written the perfect prequel novella to NIGHTS WITH HIM, and I cannot WAIT until we can see more of these two in NIGHTS WITH HIM.

Synopsis

A sensual, sexy, standalone romance novel in the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Seductive Nights Series by Lauren Blakely…

Jack Sullivan is a Sex Toy Mogul.

An extremely eligible bachelor in New York, he’s the full package, right down to his full package. Hell, this man could be the model for one of the toys his company, Joy Delivered, peddles. Instead, he’s the powerful and successful CEO and he’s got commitment issues a mile-long after the tragic way his relationship with his fiancée ended.

He’s looking for a way to erase the pain and that arrives in the form of Michelle Milo. From her pencil skirts to her high heels, she’s his perfect fantasy, especially since she has no idea who he is the night they meet at a hotel bar. He doesn’t have a clue either that she’s the brilliant psychologist his sister has arranged for him to see to help him get over his past. She’s simply the stunning woman he takes to bed that night and delivers many Os of joy too.

His touch helps her forget that other man.

When he shows up at her office door the next day, there’s no way in hell she’s going to treat him after they’ve slept together. Jack isn’t willing to let go of the first woman he’s felt anything for in years so he proposes a deal – share her nights with him for thirty days. At the end of one month of exquisite pleasure, they walk away, having helped each other move on from their haunted pasts.

But soon, all those nights threaten to turn into days as the lines between lust and matters of the heart start to blur. Can two people so terribly afraid of love truly fall head over heels?

Synopsis 

From New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan, comes the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series.

Pace Drake loves sex. He knows where get it, what to say, what to do, and he makes no apologies for satisfying his needs. But when he meets single mom, Kylie Sloan, he’s enthralled by her, and begins to question his standard operating procedure. After all, there’s no chase, no mystery when banging a woman in a nightclub bathroom. Kylie’s depth and determination make the sloppy, drunken hookups that fill his weekends seem empty and shallow. She’s the opposite of the desperate, clingy women he’s used to. She doesn’t want or need anyone to take care of her and that only makes him want to care for her more.

Kylie’s trust in men has vanished. The last guy she was with played ding-dong-ditch-it with her uterus and left her with a baby to raise. Now her infant son is the only man she has time for, even if she misses sex and intimacy more than she’d ever admit. Opening her heart up to a younger man who’s best known for no-strings-attached sex and his casual lifestyle is probably the worst idea she’s ever had. But Pace wants to prove to her there are still a few good guys left, and watching the sweet way he interacts with her baby makes her want to try…but she can really trust that his days of hitting it and quitting it are in his past?

Filthy Beautiful Lust is the third book in the Filthy Beautiful Lies series, however it can be read as a standalone novel (no cliffhanger). To understand the full growth and development of the characters, it is recommended that you begin with book 1, Filthy Beautiful Lies.

ExcerptAs if I’ve lost my mind, I wet my lips with my tongue, a move I haven’t done in years. A slow smile curves at his lips.

“You did that on purpose,” he murmurs while eyeing my mouth and moistening his lips with his tongue.

“No I didn’t.” I suck my bottom lip into my mouth.

What the hell am I doing?

Stop leaning in Avery.

But we move like magnets. He leans in a little. I lean in a little. Me. Him. Me. Him. There’s hardly any space left between us. I can feel the warmth of his breath. Smell the delicious scent of his cologne. He’s still holding the cigarette and smoke circles around us mixing with the intensity of the moment. Am I going to do this? Let my wall down for another guy?

No.

Yes.

No.

I never fully get to make the decision because Tristan eliminates the last of the space between us and our lips collide.

Michel’s Review

The Nova series by Jessica Sorensen is one of the most emotional series I have read.  I have become invested in the characters lives.  I feel like they are like my children or friend’s of my children that I care very deeply about.  I was devastated by their poor choices and elated when they began to turn their lives around.  I watched them struggle with their past family lives and mistakes that led them down the road of destruction.  My heart broke as their lives sank to the lowest points.  I breathed a sigh of relief when they finally reached the turning point that would turn their lives around into something positive.  I wanted to hold their hand while they struggled to overcome their addictions and become better people. Each and every one of the characters in this series has a piece of my heart.  One of these characters stood out throughout the series.  He was a lost soul and yet there was something special hidden away from the world.  Although he was a leading character throughout the series, his background was lightly touched upon.  It has made readers curious as to what drove him over the edge.  We are finally getting the full story in Wreck Me.  We are finally getting to know the real Tristan Morganson.

Tristan Morganson is finally clean and sober.  He is drug free but struggles daily to remain so.  His life doesn’t have much direction and he really doesn’t have any personal goals other than staying clean.  He is basically existing day to day, hour to hour, minute to minute.  Part of his struggle is that he really doesn’t know who he is or where he fits in.  He lived in the shadows of his older, overachieving sister.  His parents set their expectations of him through her standards, rather than encouraging him to find his own path and strengths.  When tragedy strikes the family and his sister is killed in a car accident it sets his downward spiral motion into warped speed. After several close calls with death he finally wants to live.  He wants to find his purpose in life and a place to feel like he belongs.  He is on a new path in life and that path leads to Avery Hensley.

While working for Habitat for Humanity, Tristan meets Avery when their crew goes to North Carolina to build her a house.  One night out with her changes the way the thinks.  He has met someone that somehow understood the daily struggles he faced and believed he could make the right kind of choices.  He doesn’t have to spill his sordid past or validate his actions.  Somehow he senses that Avery has experienced some of the same kind of ugly things he has.

Avery has had a very abusive past.  Her ex husband not only ruined her life, he abused her in so many ways.  She gave up her hopes and dreams for him.  Through their horrific marriage one thing good came out of it.  Her son.  She will do everything in her power to stay sober and give her son a good life full of love.  She struggles daily to keep her head above water, keep the bills paid, and give back the second chance she was given in life.  When she meets Tristan she realizes this is her opportunity.

Tristan and Avery begin a beautiful friendship that is built upon their faith in one another.  They both seem to understand one another.  For the first time they are not only finding what true friendship means, they are finding the good things about themselves.  Their past does not define them, it is only one small part of who they are.  Together they can conquer some of their demons, find a way to put the past in the right perspective, learn to accept and give love, and look to the future.

When the past comes back in a very threatening way, they will face it together.  They will not let it destroy the new lives they have worked so hard to get.  They will learn to accept the things they cannot change and move forward.

Wreck Me was a powerful story.  It is a story of redemption.  It is a story of healing.  It is a story of learning to love oneself.  It is a story of learning to give unconditional love.

Tristan’s story was well worth the wait and my favorite in this series.  Jessica Sorensen gave him the future he desperately needed.  She gave him Avery Hensley.

I highly recommend Wreck Me.  It can be read as a stand alone novel or in series order.  I love the Nova series.  I am looking forward to the next book in this series.  Avery’s younger brother Jax needs to find his personal happily ever after.  He’s a great guy that also survived a very ugly past and came out better than most would of.

Till Death

Logan’s Lonestar Heroes – Book 1 – Dave

Release Date: Nov. 10th, 2014

Synopsis

Dave Logan, owner of Deep Six Security, is stunned when former Dallas FBI head, Susan Whitmore, darkens his doorstep accusing him of being the cause of her

losing her job. After hearing her situation, Dave feels something he never expects to feel–sorry for her. But he also knows any problems she had at the
agency were all her own fault. The woman has a tongue so sharp it could rip a man to shreds, and had many times. There was a reason her agents dubbed her
the Barracuda.

 

Although Dave needs agents in the worst way, and Susan, with an IQ higher than Einstein, better skills and more experience than any of his men, along with
a master’s degree in criminal justice, is more than qualified to be a member of his team, he just doesn’t need the drama she and her mouth would bring to
Deep Six . Even as his brain said no way though, his damned white-knight complex forces him to offer her a job as his temporary secretary.

 

Realizing he’s made a huge mistake hiring her, Dave calls in favors to get her interviews to get her out of his office. Before he can get rid of her
though, Dave gets a new case only Susan can help him with. A wealthy Dallas oilman and his trophy wife ordered a designer baby from a local fertility
clinic, and the surrogate has gone missing with the baby. The couple wants Deep Six Security to investigate the facility and find the baby, but the only
way Dave can do that is to get inside. To get inside his only option is to go undercover with Susan, posing as a wealthy married couple looking for a baby.
What they find when they get to the spa-like compound is frightening. Payoffs, missing surrogates and young women being used as lab rats are just the tip
of the iceberg.

 

Can two alpha personalities, both used to being in charge, work together long enough to figure out what’s going on at the clinic, or will they kill each
other before the bad guys at the facility have a chance? If they’re lucky, perhaps the delicious friction between them will turn into something so hot the
place spontaneously combusts, or maybe if they’re luckier it will turn into something which might just last till death do them part.
