Excerpt

“Emerson, you really should learn to let loose.  It isn’t healthy for someone to be so serious all the time.”  Kimberly says, reaching up and running her hands through his hair.  It’s different to spend a night without both of the men.

“You think I am not fun, Kimberly?”

“Did I say that?” She retorts and pulls his shirt from his body.

“Along those lines, yes.  I will prove you wrong.  I have a surprise for you tomorrow.”  He tells her as he lays her down, only to be rolled over, with her straddling his waist.

“A surprise huh?”  She smiles as he rolls over on top of her, his naked chest pressed against her lace covered one.

“Mmhmm, but for now it’s time for me to fuck you.”

She lets out a breathy moan as he picks her up placing her in the middle of the bed.  He pulls away slightly, reaching into his carry-on bag.  He shifts all of his weight on his forearms as he lays over her.

“Do you trust me, Kimberly?”

“Yes.”  She answers without hesitation, seeing the look in his eyes has her trembling.

“Good.  I’m going to blindfold you.”

“Why?”  She asks but he slides a finger over her lip.

“If you trusted me it wouldn’t matter.”  He says with a smug grin.

She nods her head as he slides the black silk tie over her eyes, tying it in a knot behind her head.  After he has the blindfold set how he wants it, he slowly trails his hand from her jaw, to her neck, over the swell of her breasts.  His hand continues on in a teasing descent down her body, leaving a trail of fire in its wake.  He slowly pulls her shirt over her head, followed by the tight jeans she taunted him with all night.  She whimpers, feeling the heat of his body move away from her.

“Emerson?”  She calls out hearing his footsteps retreating.  What the hell?  She reaches up to remove the blindfold but halts when she hears his footsteps getting closer.  “Emerson?”

The mattress indents while he kneels at the end of the bed, looking at the woman in front of him—the cream-lace covering her beautiful body.  He grabs her foot, pulling her flush to the mattress, chuckling when she lets out an “hmph.”  He takes a sip of the cold water before sliding a piece of the ice into his mouth.  He kisses up her leg, making sure not to let the ice touch her just yet.  He slides his palms over her knees to her thighs, before reaching the apex of her thighs.  He slides his nose over her sex, inhaling the smell of her arousal.

“You are beautiful, Kimberly.”  He reaches up, grabbing the band of her lace thong before ripping the material in half, exposing her beautiful pussy to him.  “I’ll buy you more.”  He huskily adds, sliding his cold tongue over the lips of her pussy.

“Oh!”  She lets out as his tongue slides between her lips to taste the sweetness between them.  Emerson reaches between her legs, lifting her hips, grabbing the cheeks of her ass—angling her hips to grant him better access to her pussy.  He slides his tongue into her channel, tasting the decadence flowing from her.  He lets out a groan of approval as his tongue laps at the juices flowing freely from her.  He looks up at the goddess laying in his bed, sliding his tongue out of her, gliding it to the bud between her lips.  He gently nibbles on her clit, smiling when he gets a squeal from her.  He slides his right hand out from under her ass while slowly sliding it down the back of her leg to the apex of her thigh.  He teases her for a second, running his hand between her thigh and pussy before sliding two fingers into her.  He curls the two fingers while he flicks his tongue over her clit at a fast pace.  He is a man on a mission, he wants to see her come undone just for him.  He pushes a breath out of his lips onto her clit and within seconds she is withering underneath him.  He knows she’s close, so he curls his fingers one more time and her hands tighten around the sheets.  “Emerson!” She cries out as his mouth is flooded with the sweetness, the essence that is Kimberly.  He continues to lap at her sweet nectar while she comes down from the high he just gave to her.  He slowly flips her over onto her stomach before lifting her hips.

“Are you ready, Kimberly?”

She nods, still speechless from the orgasm he just gave to her.  He grabs her hips and slams his hard cock deep into her pussy.  He lets out a staggered breath, feeling the tightness of her envelope him.  “So fucking good.” He leans down, kissing her back as he slams into her over and over.  She reaches forward, using the headboard of the bed to keep her from losing her placing as he slams into her.  He continues to slam into her as they both work their way up to another release.  As Emerson continues to fuck her ruthlessly, she has no choice but to hold on for the ride.  She reaches between her legs to rub her engorged bud.  Just as she feels herself rising to release, she feels Emerson start to throb inside her tight channel.  She knows he’s about to come so she lets herself go.  She rubs her clit faster as her sex tightens and releases around his throbbing cock.  “Emerson!”  She cries, exploding around him.

“Fuck!”  He howls, spurting his release into her.  He rests his head on her back while he comes down from the heaven he just witnessed.  He reaches up, pulling the scarf away from her head as she lays completely spent underneath him.  He leans forward kissing her temple before rolling off of her, lying down beside her.  “You are beautiful, Kimberly.”

Perfect Chaos

Unyielding Series- Book 1

By Nashoda Rose

57761-addtogoodreads

Synopsis

Georgie

I lie to survive.

Have since I was sixteen and my world fell into chaos. But I found a way to endure, or rather it found me. Now I’m a prisoner of my own doing, hiding behind a false mask so no one sees the truth. Not even the man I want but can’t have—Deck. But I messed up and the lies are spilling over, out of control.

Deck is unrelenting and will settle for nothing less than the truth. He demands everything from me—EVERYTHING—even if it rips me apart.

DECK

I kill for a living.

Unyielding—It’s how I survive in my line of work. I bend people to my will…except Georgie.
But that ends now.
I’ve played her game for far too long. Now I think it’s time we play mine.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

4 star

Tina’s Review

Georgie was a control freak. So much so that her brother, Connor, teased that she should join the Canadian forces like he did. He was not only her brother, but one of her best friends. But her world abruptly changed one Sunday morning when Deck showed up to deliver the bad news. Now, years later, Georgie owns a coffee shop she named Perk Avenue, has inherited a watchdog… Deck and is living a lie out of necessity.
Deck Ryan served as Connor’s team leader. Informing his best friend’s family of his failure to save him was one of the hardest things he’d ever done. To watch sixteen-year old Georgie meltdown and walk out on her was even harder. Two years later, he returned and now – for years, he’s watched over her; kept her safe from others, and herself, either personally or through one of his men at Unyielding Riot.
**WARNING:
There is a “reliving” and recurring memory replay of graphic violence.
Not suitable for all readers.
———————————————————————————
Although this is the first book in a new series, it is – quite obviously – heavily tied to the Tear Asunder series, which I have NOT read. There is much mention early on regarding characters, and events that had occurred, that hint at a much deeper and more intimate history between these characters that this book alone would not be able to convey on it’s own as successfully.
Deck is the picture-perfect extremely intense uber alpha. Georgie is hiding her old self deep under a new facade of a care-free alcoholic party-girl out of fear and determination to keep her loved ones safe. Deck and Georgie are each tormented with their own demons from the past and this creates a pair of wonderful, extremely emotional and dimensional characters. The plot is filled with plenty of action, sass and twists. There’s some really clever stuff going on and there are many layers hidden within the plot that are capable of providing shock and surprise throughout. The dialogue is equal parts exasperating and humorous. The overall big-picture plot conflict will carry over, it looks like, as a predominant theme to throughout the series, however the individual conflict has been resolved fairly well for now. It would not be correct in calling the conclusion “solid”. There is definitely a “to be continued” feel, BUT the lesser, more intimate story does have a good grasp at closure. I guess we wait to see how things continue in PERFECT RUIN and PERFECT RAGE. Cover is extremely appealing, choosing a piece from Michael Stokes with model Aron Abikzer.

Michel’s Review

The Social Media Series by JA Huss has been an erotic and action packed experience.  Each episode has left readers on the edge of their seats.  The ending was bittersweet and pure perfection for Grace and Vaughn.

I am not going to say too much and give away spoilers.  The one thing I will say is that Grace became a stronger woman.  She learned to open her heart and let love in.  She learned that she is just as much Daisy as she is Grace.  Combine the two together and Vaughn has the perfect woman.  Vaughn surprised me throughout this series.  He grew emotionally and proved to Grace, as well as the world, that he is a man of honor.

I loved the Social Media series.  I highly recommend this series.  JA Huss is a gifted writer that always delivers more than a sensational romance.

Holiday On Ice

Play By Play Series- Book 8.5

By Jaci Burton

Synopsis

In this original holiday novella in the Play-By-Play series, New York Times bestselling author Jaci Burton gives readers the gift of “plenty of romance, sexy men, hot steamy loving, and humor.” (Smexy Books)

Superstar hockey player Patrick “Trick” Niemeyer and dancer Stella Slovinski have picked up where they left off a year ago, resuming their hot, uncomplicated affair. Stella refuses to call it dating, or a relationship. But lately, Trick is looking for more…

Stella’s been burned before—in a relationship she never talks about—not with her family, not with her friends, and definitely not with Trick. But now it’s the holiday season and Trick is determined to give Stella his heart wrapped up in a bow. He knows Stella is the right woman for him, but he’ll have to melt the ice surrounding her heart to keep her from walking away.

Includes a preview of Jaci Burton’s QUARTERBACK DRAW and LOVE AFTER ALL.

Tina’s Review

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

Patrick “Trick” Niemeyer plays professional hockey for the Travelers. Stella Slovinski is a professional dancer and best friends with Carolina Preston. They met, originally, about a year ago through Carolina and Drew and had an off/on relationship for a few months. Now, she’s scored a lead on Broadway and he’s still concentrating game to game to make it to the finals, their schedules are even busier than ever. The magnetic attraction is still there between them and Trick wants to try again, but Stella is afraid to commit to a relationship.
———————————————-
A longer novella, this book is falls short of being a full-length novel. The only previous Play-by-Play characters that make an appearance in HOLIDAY ON ICE are the Travelers and new characters are even introduced. Trick and Stella are solid, likable characters. Stella is completely commitment-shy due to a bad experience in her past (quite a while back) while Trick is ready to settle down. The dialogue and interaction feel a little stiff, and almost too proper, in several places. The flow of the story is smooth, however it’s sometimes difficult to pack a lot of dimension into it when the book is so short. The plot was not flat, but could have benefited from a little more dynamics. There was a minor conflict which was fairly easy to resolve, extremely minor predictability, and a rock-solid conclusion.
Overall, it was a short and sweet Holiday Novella that fans of Ms. Burton and her Play-by-Play series should enjoy.

Michel’s Review

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

Holiday On Ice was a great addition to the outstanding Play By Play series.  Jaci Burton has created a series that features sports romances that are emotional and erotic.  Each and every book has charismatic characters, red hot romance, and a thrilling escape in the world of professional sports.

Trick and Stella have had an on again off again relationship for the past year.  It is a casual relationship without commitment .  Trick has realized he wants more than a fling with Stella.  He has to convince to take a chance on him.  Stella pulls back every time he starts breaking down her walls.  Trick shows his devotion throughout this story.

Stella has had a bad experience in matters of love.  She does not want to go down that road again.  Somewhere along the way her casual relationship with Trick is taking a new direction.  Can she let go of the pain and let someone love her again.  Can she open up and give Trick the love she has buried away.

What better time to find the true meaning of love than the holidays.  The magic between Trick and Stella will warm your heart.

I highly recommend Holiday On Ice by Jaci Burton.  It can be read as a stand alone novel or in series order.  Holiday On Ice will warm up your holidays.

About with Lauren Hawkeye

lauren hawkeyeLauren Hawkeye/ Lauren Jameson never imagined that she’d wind up telling stories for a living… though when she looks back, it’s easy to see that she’s the only one who is surprised. Always “the kid who read all the time”, Lauren made up stories about her favorite characters once she’d finished a book… and once spent an entire year narrating her own life internally. No, really. But where she was just plain odd before publication, now she can at least claim to have an artistic temperament.

Lauren lives in the Rocky Mountains of Alberta, Canada with her husband, toddler, pit bull and idiot cat, though they do not live in an igloo, nor do they drive a dogsled. In her nonexistent spare time Lauren can be found knitting (her husband claims that her snobby yarn collection is exorbitant), reading anything she can get her hands on, or sweating her way through spin class. She loves to hear from her readers!

Excerpt

“Mark.”

I squeeze my eyes shut as Crystal’s voice stirs an odd sensation in my chest that somehow eases the ache in my gut. Desire rockets through me, and I tell myself it’s about fucking and control. I need it, and she’s my safe zone outside of the club.

“Are you okay?” she asks when I do not speak.

When our gazes meet the jolt is as unwelcome as it is intense. She feels it, too. I see it in the slight widening of her eyes, the way she curls her fingers into her palms on the counter across from me.

“You were furious with me a few minutes ago,” I say. “Why are you standing here now?”

“I’m not one-dimensional. I can be furious and worried at the same time.”

Unable to squash my intrigue over the unknowns of her past, I agree. “No, you aren’t one-dimensional. Nor are you simply a rich girl who wants to prove something to daddy.”

“Thank you.” She crinkles her brow. “I think.”

We fall into silence, a hum of electricity charging between us. “I still go back to you saying ‘The End’ to me a few minutes ago. You meant it this time, too. That doesn’t translate to you standing here.”

“Neither does much of what you do, where I’m concerned.”

“You’re absolutely right. It doesn’t. What does, though, is sticking to ‘The End.’ What doesn’t is how badly I want to drag you into another room and fuck you right now.”

She shakes her head. “It’s not me you want. It’s someone who’ll sign a contract and be your outlet and bridge to control. You left that bedroom thinking about the impossibility of a reason for Rebecca’s death, beyond your self-blame and guilt. You need that bridge.”

There is banked pain lacing her words, and a hint of the earlier anger I’d seen in her eyes. I could make those things go away by telling her what she’s said isn’t true. I could tell her she’s gotten under my skin. But I don’t even know who the man beneath the surface is right now. I’ve destroyed two women. Crystal doesn’t deserve to be number three.

“Is everything okay?” my father asks from the doorway, repeating Crystal’s earlier words.

“Yes,” I say, my gaze lingering on Crystal before I push off the counter, hands going to my hips. “We’re ready to talk to Mom about what’s been going on.”

“We are?” Crystal asks, sounding surprised. “Tonight?”

“We can’t risk her finding out from somewhere else,” I explain.

“She’d feel betrayed,” my father adds.

Crystal gives a choppy nod. “Yes. I can see that. But I am not looking forward to telling her.”

“None of us are,” my father says. “Right now, though, she wants us all to eat together. And since it’s the best chance we have of getting some food down her, I say we wait until after we’ve finished. I don’t want to jeopardize her appetite.”

“I’m all for getting food down her,” I say. “She’s skin and bones.”

“I’ve been force-feeding her what she does eat,” Crystal adds. “The nurse suggested some high-calorie protein shakes. I tried that, but she hates them.”

My father starts to turn, then pauses. “By the way, Crystal, Larry Prescot called me just before you got here. You won him over. Thanks for calming him down before he got to Dana.”

“My pleasure.”

He disappears into the hallway and I grab Crystal’s arm. “How okay is Prescot?”

“Very.”

“How can you be sure?”

“I threw out my father’s name—something that I normally would never do.”

“But?”

“I was on the phone with my father when the receptionist buzzed to tell me that Prescot had arrived for our meeting. My father overheard and insisted that I drop his name. I reminded him that I’m adamant about succeeding on my own merits. But I’m also not one to foolishly ignore resources when backed into a corner, and I was. Prescot was being a total jerk. I knew we were about to lose the business.”

“So you broke your rule.”

“I did. And it was an amazing turnaround. Prescot suddenly remembered the many ways people have tried to paint him as a monster in the media, and became sympathetic rather than judgmental. I called my father afterward, and it turns out that Prescot enjoys the benefits of his secretary beyond her exceptional organizational skills, and his wife of twenty years doesn’t know.”

“But your father does.”

“Yes. And now, so do we.”

My lips curve. “Sounds like I owe you and your father a thank-you.”

“All you’d get in return from my father is a demand that I quit my job. He hates me working for anyone but him, especially now with all this bad press.”

“Is he afraid it will overflow to him?”

“No. He’s afraid I’ll get hurt.”

Me too, I think. Me too. “And what did you tell him?”

“I told him I’m his daughter, not his possession. He doesn’t own me any more than you do, and neither of you gets to claim responsibility for my happiness. That’s all mine.”

As she leaves the room, I stare after her in silent agreement. I’m not responsible for her happiness. But I’m not going to be responsible for her misery, either.

Kelley’s Review

I Belong To You is a very seductive and suspense-filled read.  This is a mini-series that I really didn’t want to see come to an end.  Why do I call it a mini-series?  I call it that because it reads like its own stand-alone series.  The first 3 novellas from Mark’s POV(The Master Undone, My Hunger, and My Control) culminate in this novella .   I feel like Ms. Jones’s skill and talent outshine many other authors because she provides enough information regarding Mark’s backstory for the reader to connect emotionally with his character.  I don’t need to know all the details of Mark and Rebecca’s past relationship to understand that he made some serious mistakes that continue to haunt him.  Ms. Jones gives the reader just enough background that her heart will break for Mark and Crystal as they battle demons from their pasts in order to create a future together.

We start off I Belong To You with Mark still being a person of interest in Rebecca’s disappearance.  The media are hounding him after his D/S relationship with Rebecca was revealed.  At the same time, he is dealing with his mother’s illness and the auction house- he feels his world spinning out of control.  Crystal becomes his rock and solid ground.  With one touch she is able to calm the demons he is wrestling with.  Mark is so afraid of Crystal ending up like Rebecca that he keeps his heart guarded for as long as he possibly can.

Crystal is burning the candle at both ends handling operations of the auction house, keeping clients happy when they call upset about what is going on in the media, and sitting at Mark’s mother’s bedside as she recovers from debilitating treatment.  Crystal loves Dana like a daughter loves her mother.  They have formed an unbreakable bond and it devastates Crystal to see Dana so weakened after her cancer treatments.  She is grateful that Mark has moved back to town because his mother is now driven to get better more than she ever was before.

A beautiful love story unfolds between Crystal and Mark as the walls they have built around themselves begin to crumble and their darkest secrets are revealed.  The man behind the master is finally unveiled and readers will not be able to help but fall in love with Mark Compton.  Lisa writes an amazingly suspenseful and action-packed read as Crystal and Mark stay on alert as danger lurks around every corner.  She kept me flipping the pages and losing sleep because I had to see what was going to happen next!

The only thing I could ask for to make this book even better is a longer epilogue.  I feel like the book ended so abruptly that I did not get to bask in the glow of the happily ever after.  Because Lisa Renee Jones is always surprising us I hope she considers maybe just one more novella for Mark and Crystal to give readers that euphoric feeling they get from a spectacular end to an epic series.  I really enjoyed this mini-series and am looking forward to watching this story unfold into a television series.  Bravo Ms. Jones on a job well done!
