Diamond Girl

Excerpt

         Slate was waiting for me at the bus stop when I arrived. I shamelessly flew into his arms as soon as I stepped to the curb. “I fucking missed you,” I said, “And I don’t want to hear shit about it, either.”

He laughed softly, as he wrapped his arm around me, pulling me closely as we walked to his apartment.

Once there, we were like two savages that hadn’t been together for months instead of days. I tore at his clothing, and he tore at mine. Once naked, he unceremoniously lifted me from the pile of clothing and placed me on his bed.

He lowered himself beside me, gently pulling me into his strong arms and kissed me softly all over. His lips brushed my lips, and then moved to my neck, peppering me with kisses as his tongue blazed a path to my breasts. His mouth suckled each one thoroughly, and soft moans escaped my lips as his fingers explored my wet pussy, and then dipped inside of me sending shock waves of pleasure throughout my body.

I watched as his hand moved from my pussy. He brought his fingers up to my lips. “Lick,” he said, pushing his wet fingers against my lips. “I want you to see what you taste like.”

Love Plus One

Excerpt

     My mom looked at me with a puzzled look on her face. She couldn’t figure out why I would ask about Taz. Her eyes lowered to the ‘FBI’ hoodie I was wearing and her look of puzzlement swiftly changed to one of suspicion.

“That isn’t one of Slate’s hoodies,” she noted, “He only wears the tee shirts.”

I looked down, my fingers plucked a piece of imaginary lint from the front. “No,” I borrowed it from …Taz,” I replied slowly, looking back up at her.

               Her expression had now morphed into total confusion.

               “Why would you borrow a hoodie from Taz?”

               Ahh… geez.

“Because I needed something to wear to bed.

               There. I’d said it. The secret was out and I was relieved.

“Lindsey, no,” she said in a loud whisper, clearly horrified. Her hand had moved to cover her mouth.

               “Mom, Taz and I have gotten…close. It’s a caring relationship.”

               “On your part, I’m sure,” she said, “But, honey–Taz isn’t boyfriend material. I mean the stories I’ve heard from Eric,” she breaks off, shaking her head.

                I continued to watch her turning this piece of information over in her head. Waiting.

               “So…I take it you’re no longer . . . Uhm…”

               Don’t say it, Mom. Please. Don’t. Say. It.

               “A virgin?

               Damn. She said it.

       “That’s correct, Mom,” I replied, hesitantly. “That’s no longer the case.”

Night Moves

Excerpt

  “Easton,” I said, trying to feel him out. “I’m getting some very mixed signals here.” I tried to pull my hands back, but his grip was strong. He didn’t release his hold.

“It’s simple, I’ve missed being with you.”

 

“What do you mean? We were just together last night. We spent almost all morning together at the office, we had a working lunch together, and now you’ve hauled me out for dinner. I’d say over the last 24 hours, we’ve spent more time together than most married couples.”

“Don’t play with me,” he quipped. “You know what I’m talking about. This doesn’t bode well for me.”

 

I sighed audibly. The truth was, my body ached for him as well as for his discipline, but these newly adopted scruples of mine were wreaking havoc with my better judgment. What else could I do but be honest?

“Easton I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss the experience of being with you. It was something else, no doubt about it. But things have changed. There’s no getting around that. I told you how I felt last night. I need to get my priorities in order. Nothing’s a given for me anymore. I have to earn my success. I really want to put my best foot forward with my career. You seemed to understand that last night. It’s just not a good idea.”

“Yes,” he replied quietly, giving what I’d said some thought while rubbing my fingers with his. “Of course, you’re right. It’s not a good idea, assuredly. It would cross the line you set, which by the way, I totally respect and admire the fact that you’re putting your career first, much like me, I suppose.” His gray eyes studied me and my heart did a fast pitter-pat at the feel of his fingers intertwining with mine.

“I appreciate your understanding and thank you for noticing that I’ve taken this new role seriously. I don’t want anything to jeopardize my ability to succeed,” I said.

He was still holding fast to my fingers. My heart continued the pitter-pat rhythm.

 

“Absolutely,” he replied, earnestly. “You’re to be commended. Still,” he said, his voice dropping an octave and his lips curling into that beautiful smile that couldn’t be good for my pulse, “I just can’t get that picture out of my head.”

               Silence…

“What picture?” I asked finally, squirming just a tad in my seat.

“The picture of your beautiful face after I’ve used the crop and when my lips softly place those little butterfly kisses on that very special spot of yours.”

               Oh holy Jesus!

“Which one?” I asked raising an eyebrow, immediately regretting it.

“The one right…here,” he said softly, brushing his thumb against that sensitive area I had on my neck, an inch or two south of my earlobe. I knew the one. He continued to lightly caress it, his eyes growing darker.

“Ahh, yes,” I said, remembering the way he’d made me tingle and my toes curl just with his soft kisses on that spot. “That spot.” I shifted uneasily.

               Focus, Darcy. Disengage. I repeat: disengage!

“And then, you know, there’s that other special spot of yours…,” he murmured.

               “Easton,” I warned, my tone getting stern. I shifted nervously.

“You know the one, love? That very deep, sensitive spot inside of you that loves the feel of my fingers and cock rubbing against it. Such a shame you haven’t had the pleasure of feeling my unsheathed cock. I’m betting my cock jewelry would likely put you over the edge. You’ve wondered about that, haven’t you? When you’re lying in bed at night, when the world gets slightly quieter as your imagination runs a little wilder…” His hand made its way to the nape of my neck, his fingers lightly drawing shapes across the sensitive skin. “I bet you have that night on replay, along with those thoughts of yours when you saw my piercing. And then you wonder what it would feel like to have it gently scrape your clit, slowly at first, but then I’d go a little faster. A little harder. Until I took it deeper and started all over again. And again.”

By this time, I could feel the wet spot in my panties. My lips were dry, so I merely nodded in agreement.

“Oh,” he said, smiling again, “Let’s not forget those very enticing nipples of yours and the way they respond when I taste them, right before I take them full into my mouth to suck. Hard. Quite a rush, isn’t it?”

               Oh God!

The server approached, setting our drinks down, ready to take our order.

“Darcy?” Easton nodded, as the server waited, poised to write my order down.

“Uh, nothing for me, I’m still full from lunch.” He turned to Easton for his order.

“Check please.”

These Men (Spin Off) M/F/M

Excerpt

come in, but there he was, intent on joining us.

I felt his calloused fingertips gently rubbing my lower back, and smoothing down over my hips, where his thumbs hooked into the elastic band of my thong, and he slowly lowered it down, where it pooled around my feet on the bed.

Eli’s mouth moved from mine, and I watched as Cain, already stripped down to his tee shirt and boxers, leaned in and captured Eli’s lips with his, their tongues swirling together in a frenzied and familiar passion.

I watched, totally mesmerized by their rhythm and cadence, caught between them, and feeling the heat of their love wrapped around me like a cozy blanket.

About Andrea Smith

andrea smith-2I was born and raised in southern Ohio, and with the exception of a brief stint in Dallas, TX, have been an Ohioan most of my life. My dream has always been to write a novel, and back in the early eighties I tried to do just that, having been influenced by authors such as Kathleen Woodiwiss, Johanna Lindsey, Rosemary Rogers and Laurie McBain. I remember writing to all of them through their listed publishers, and the only response I received was from Johanna Lindsey (who lived in Hawaii at the time.

Ms. Lindsey advised me to continue with my dream; and to submit to various publishers again and again. Of course, at that time, publishing e-books yourself was not on the horizon; there were vanity publishing houses of course, but she advised me to avoid those.

So my dream was put on the back-burner for more than 25 years until June of 2012 when suddenly I no longer had a reason not to write a novel. My sons were grown; I found myself without a career (blessedly) and the creative juices flowed once again.

I finished my first novel, “Maybe Baby” in September of 2012; the next two books in the “Baby Series” titled “Baby Love” and “Be My Baby” were published in early 2013. I learned a lot in my first endeavor with self-publishing. I’ve made so many friends as a result that it is over-whelming.

In the spring of 2013, I had an idea for a different type of Alpha, and wrote Book #1 of the “G-Man” Series, titled “Diamond Girl.” This book was well-received, and I followed it with Book #2, “Love Plus One.” These are stand-alone books.

I am finally doing what I love and I sincerely appreciate the wonderful readers who provide feedback and take the time to comment. I hope that with each book, my writing has grown and improved as I strive to publish quality fiction..

Michel’s Review

Scoring His Heart by Suzan Butler is the third book in the Texas Highlanders Ice Hockey series. I love hockey romance books. I was anticipating a sports romance that was on the racier side. What this book delivered was definitely racier, it was an erotica romance. As for a sports romance, not so much, which was a great disappointment.

I have read many ménage themed books. These type of erotica romance books can either be over the top, based strictly on the sexual interactions without a solid story plot, or they can be below the par with a solid plot that overwhelms the erotic scenes. Scoring His Heart falls somewhere in middle range. It had a solid plot, somewhat solid characters, and sizzling hot sex scenes. The characters were a bit flat at times and I had a hard time grasping their connections to one another.

Zoe is supposed to be this innocent and naive nineteen year old girl that has had a somewhat hard life after her mother abandoned her. She comes across as hard and a bit stingy with her emotions. At other times she comes across as a heartbroken, naïve girl. I never felt she was mature enough to handle the sex scenes she encountered in the book.

As for Gavin and Misha, they were very easy to like. They are best friends, roommates, and horny hockey players. They have had quite a few sexual escapades that have led to threesomes. It was always them interacting with the woman and not each other. In this book, they discover that they have a sexual attraction and bond for one another that goes a little beyond their escapades. At the same time, because of their friendship, they accept that this aspect of their relationship is only for the bedroom. There is no romantic type of relationship in the works.

Scoring His Heart is about two people, Zoe and Gavin, finding love when their worlds are in chaos. They both learn to give and take. Somewhere Misha entangles himself into the mix to make some interesting sheet burners.

I just felt that the characters were not developed enough to pull this story completely off.

I think fans of ménage themed books will enjoy the overall story. For me, I want to get into the characters heads, I want complex plots, and realistic emotions portrayed in all the scenes, including the ménage scenes. And finally when I read a sports themed romance, whether it be erotica or contemporary romance, I want to feel the characters are involved in their sport. Other than a few mentions of practice or games, the sports theme was not really presented.

915fRjHZUXL._SL1500_Off Her Game – Book 1

Penalty Number One: Men

Making time for men and relationships doesn’t fit into Valerie Chase’s game plan. This crisis-counselor-turned-cocktail-waitress knows the score–Men are a distraction. But when a certain hockey player tempts her wild side, part of her wants to indulge in a little harmless fun.

Penalty Number Two: Desire

As the star center for the Texas Highlanders, Darren Moran’s good looks and deadly determination make him a fan favorite. But after the previous season’s disaster, the last thing he needs is to let some woman crawl under his skin. But… Valerie is different. She brings out the best in him–both on and off the ice–and he’s not about to lose her.

Penalty Number Three: Passion

When the game moves to the next level, Darren and Val have got to call timeout. An unplanned romance is a game-thrower, a sinful temptation that neither of them can afford. After all, there’s no way to have order in matters of the heart when the penalties tally up to an ejection from the game.

Synopsis

Nothing has ever come easy for Lila Bailey. She’s fought for every good thing in her life during every day of her thirty-one years. Aside from that one night with an impossible to deny stranger a year ago, Lila is the epitome of responsible.

Steadfast. Strong.

She’s pulled herself out of the train wreck of her childhood, proud to be a professor at Tulane University and laying down roots in a city she’s grown to love. But when some of her female students are viciously murdered, Lila’s shaken to the core and unsure of whom she can trust in New Orleans. When the police detective assigned to the murder case comes to investigate, she’s even more surprised to find herself staring into the eyes of the man that made her toes curl last year.

In an attempt to move on from the tragic loss of his wife, Asher Smith moved his daughter and himself to a new city, ready for a fresh start. A damn fine police lieutenant, but new to the New Orleans force, Asher has a lot to prove to his colleagues and himself.

With a murderer terrorizing the Tulane University campus, Asher finds himself toe-to-toe with the one woman that haunts his dreams. His hands, his lips, his body know her as intimately as he’s ever known anyone. As he learns her mind and heart as well, Asher wants nothing more than to keep her safe, in his bed, and in his and his daughter’s lives for the long haul.

But when Lila becomes the target, can Asher save her in time, or will he lose another woman he loves?

Ashley’s Review

“No one is normal. Everyone is just pretending to be normal.” –Deanna Madden

Deanna Madden has been locked in her apartment for 3 years, by choice. Confined to her small 900 square-foot apartment, she relies on her drug addicted neighbor, Simon Evans to lock her in each night from the outside world by continuing to supply him with prescription pills in exchange for this small but very important task.

Using the internet as her escape, a means of interacting with society and her means of an income, she lives by the alias Jessica Beth Reilly where she makes her living as an internet adult entertainment superstar fulfilling the fantasies of those with odd and eclectic tastes. When she is contacted by RalphMA35 who has a bizarre and quite concerning appetite for young girls, Deanna is left questioning what she should do.

When her regular UPS delivery man named Jeremy, who has been delivering packages outside her door for the past three years via verbal approval from Deanna from behind her apartment door brings a package but doesn’t get his typical response from the girl inside; Jeremy takes a chance, twisting the knob to 6E to check on the girl inside. What he discovers and what ensues within the apartment sets in motion a nail biting suspense that’ll have you hooked till the past page.

While her clientele think she’s a bubbly 19 year old college student, “Jessica” is far more sinister than anyone could imagine… she’s got hunger to kill.

“That’s the reason I stay away from people. Because I want to kill. Constantly. It’s almost all I think about.”

This is the first book I’ve read by A.R. Torre who also writes as Alessandra Torre. This book is unique as I’ve never read anything like it. The characters are so well developed, the plot is weaved so brilliantly, and the author obviously did extensive research into the adult online entertainment community to make this story as realistic as possible. I’d classify this story as romantic/suspense/psychological thriller. It’s not your typical HEA and its not cookie cutter, its raw and jaw dropping. It’d definitely got a shock factor that’ll captivate readers. This story is a solid 4 stars and I cannot wait until the next installment!

HARD_Teaser_1

Excerpt

I have been watching her for three months.

For ninety-two days, I’ve looked into those lifeless green eyes. Let my gaze slide over her flawless, pale skin. Fantasized about her luscious lips.

For ninety-two days she has inspired me in ways I never knew possible. A muse, unbeknownst to her. Motivating me. Encouraging my darkest desires to life through my work. Just when I was so close to giving up, surrendering to my unchangeable fate, I spotted her, and haven’t been able to look away since.

I don’t think she has a clue that my eyes find her the moment I step into this establishment. She’s oblivious to the way I always sit at the same table—the one with the best view of the bar. Of her. Unaware I spend my evenings watching her.

Memorizing her. Inch by exquisite inch.

Her soft beauty and innocent naivety keeps me coming back. Over and over, since the day she first served me. My cock grows hard beneath the shelter of the table as she strides toward me, her breasts bouncing lightly with each step. My arousal has nothing to do with sexual gratification. Though she has a beautiful body, curvy in all the places a man’s hands like to grip, and hold, and conquer, I’m turned on by the way she makes me feel inside. By the strength and craving and ambition she has unknowingly restored in me.

A man’s wet fantasy. A woman’s aspiration. My divine intervention.

Michel’s Review

I was really excited when I received an ARC copy of Hard by Cheryl McIntyre.  If you have not read any books by Cheryl McIntyre, Hard may be the book that makes you a die hard Cheryl McIntyre fan.  Her writing is edgy, emotional, honest, and captivating.  I have not picked up one book by Cheryl and not been able to put it down.  When I finally got Hard downloaded on my kindle, I stayed up until the wee hours of the night because I could not walk away from this story until it was finished.

Hard is more than a dark erotic romance.  It is more than an insight to the kinkier side of life.  It is about dealing with the harsh realities of life and learning to cope any way possible.  It is a story of acceptance and finding peace.  It is a story of learning how to love after life has dealt you a very bad hand.  It is a story of healing.

The first few chapters of Hard are devastating.  Holland Howard has experienced the worst that life could deliver.  She is beyond broken.  She has lost everything she cared about in life.  She has lost herself.  Her only way to cope is to leave everything she knows behind.  She is no longer a functioning person.  She is like a robot, existing one moment to the next.  She ends up across the country, in a state where she knows absolutely no one.  She is managing to exist by working as a cocktail waitress in a non descript bar.  That is okay with her, she only has to interact with people to do her job.  She doesn’t have to personable, she doesn’t have to expose herself, and she can keep her pain to herself.

One man, Jensen Payne, takes notice of Holland in a very odd way.  He has been watching her day and day out.  He has become obsessed with her beauty.  He wants to own her beauty.  He wants to own her pain.

When Jensen propositions Holland it will lead them both on an erotic journey that is beyond the imagination.  It will also lead them to accept the people they are underneath the surface.  They will have to face the past, accept their lives, and find something that makes them want to look to the future.  They will find the peace they didn’t know they were searching for.

I am not going to say any more about this book other than it is beyond excellent.  This book evoked so many emotions.  One moment I was crying my eyes out and the next moment I was totally creeped out.  Then a few chapters later I was falling in love and praying these characters would find happiness.

Hard was meticulously written.  It had the perfect flow and right amount of pacing.  The aha moments were delivered with surprise and satisfaction.  The characters were complex and their back stories were heartbreaking.  The journey the characters traveled was hard but also freeing.

I cannot praise this book enough.  It is a dark book that has a bright light at the end of the journey.  There are no cliffhangers and definitely satisfying resolutions.

Hard by Cheryl McIntyre is a 5 Star book.

Katie In Love

An Erotic Romance

By Chloe Thurlow

c79a3-add-to-goodreads-button-2

Synopsis

atie Boyd has nothing in common with Tom Bridge, the volunteer doctor she meets at a party – except in bed she finds a passion to match her own. Tom is intense, puzzling, a man who cares about others and compels Katie to question her own life drifting through the hip clubs and London party scene.

When Tom returns to his post in a Sri Lanka orphanage, Katie isn’t sure if their passion was lit by its brevity, or if love, unexpected and not entirely wanted, has edged its way into her life. Should she go back to being who she always was? Or follow Tom into the unknown?

Katie in Love is a compelling erotic-romance that will grip readers as they follow Katie’s journey to an ending they may have expected – but not in the way they expected it.

Brilliantly written and coolly self-aware, Chloe Thurlow was described by KM Dylan on Amazon as “…the Anaïs Nin of our times.” With Katie in Love – her sixth novel – Thurlow reveals a writer at the height of her powers.

First-person female POV. Warning: The journey through Katie’s thoughts can be chaotic and unfiltered. 😉
Ms. Thurlow has an erratically whimsical writing style that is abundantly descriptive. The characters are well-written, each with their own very distinctive personalities and quirks. The dialogue is believable, the interaction is good. There are only a few places where things feel a bit disjointed and awkward, but it’s difficult to tell if perhaps it weren’t intentional. The plot holds the reader’s interest and flows smoothly most of the time. On occasion, I found myself re-reading parts due to the overly-descriptive style but it was not so much that it detracts from the story’s quality. In fact, I find that many books by Nora Roberts effect me in the same manner. The conflicts throughout the books are maturely resolved with little to no predictability. The conclusion is solid and welcoming, with no cliffhangers.

Author Bio:

897415After uni, I started working in PR and got bored to tears. It was more fun being a waitress and writing in the dark silent hours from 2am to 6. I managed to complete a novel I called “Being A Girl” and fell over in the street after Nexus published it and the editor gave me a bottle of champagne I drank too quickly. Now, here we are, penning away night and day, five novels and three naughty-shorties on the shelf with a study of EL James called “The Fifty Shades of Grey Phenomena” just out.

HARD_Teaser_1

Excerpt

I have been watching her for three months.

For ninety-two days, I’ve looked into those lifeless green eyes. Let my gaze slide over her flawless, pale skin. Fantasized about her luscious lips.

For ninety-two days she has inspired me in ways I never knew possible. A muse, unbeknownst to her. Motivating me. Encouraging my darkest desires to life through my work. Just when I was so close to giving up, surrendering to my unchangeable fate, I spotted her, and haven’t been able to look away since.

I don’t think she has a clue that my eyes find her the moment I step into this establishment. She’s oblivious to the way I always sit at the same table—the one with the best view of the bar. Of her. Unaware I spend my evenings watching her.

Memorizing her. Inch by exquisite inch.

Her soft beauty and innocent naivety keeps me coming back. Over and over, since the day she first served me. My cock grows hard beneath the shelter of the table as she strides toward me, her breasts bouncing lightly with each step. My arousal has nothing to do with sexual gratification. Though she has a beautiful body, curvy in all the places a man’s hands like to grip, and hold, and conquer, I’m turned on by the way she makes me feel inside. By the strength and craving and ambition she has unknowingly restored in me.

A man’s wet fantasy. A woman’s aspiration. My divine intervention.

Tracey’s Review 

Alexander King is one super-fine hot alpha male, a force to be reckoned with, both in the boardroom and the bedroom. Used to taking what he wants, Alexander has set his sights on a hostile takeover of Dan Buchanan’s business. Dan’s daughter Margo has been sent to work for Alexander as part of the deal, and to spy on him. Things are about to get very interesting, because Margo is not at all what King is used to dealing with, and he won’t give up without a fight.

I have been waiting for Naughty King since I read the first blurb about it, and I was not disappointed. Michelle Valentine has written a sassy sexy read that is the perfect introduction to her Sexy Manhattan Fairytale series. Alexander may come across as a jerk, but he’s hiding a sensitive side behind his hot-as-heck swagger. And Margo, well, she can more than keep up with him. Seeing the two of them go at it is sexy as all get-out, and the steamy scenes, well, I am still fanning myself. These two are the perfect foil for each other, and I look forward to seeing where their story goes. I also absolutely loved Yamada; he had me laughing out loud, and Michelle nailed him, without making him seem like a caricature. He definitely lends some comic relief, while also helping Margo hold her own.

Naughty King is short, but totally hot, and well worth a read. And, while it ends on a cliffy, it’s the perfect set-up for the second book, Feisty Princess (Margo’s nickname), so grab this 4-star read and enjoy!

About CD Reiss

 

cd reiss new bioCD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.
