Intoxicate

Explosive Series – Book 4

By Tessa Teevan

Synopsis

Marry me.

Two words Kalli Montgomery never expected to say out loud to Xavier Cruz, even though she’s been in love with the sexy, single father for as long as she can remember. Unfortunately, she hasn’t just been friend-zoned for the past ten years. No, even worse, he’s treated her like a little sister, no matter how hard she tried to prove she could be so much more. When she agrees to spend the summer as the caregiver for his daughter, Lily, she knows it’s her last chance to finally make him take notice.

As unexpected circumstances threaten to disrupt his home life, Xavier’s desperate to keep his family together. He’ll do whatever it takes, even if it means marrying a woman he doesn’t love. For Xavier and Lily, Kalli will do just about anything, even at the risk of getting her heart broken in the process.

Little does she know, sometimes love isn’t quite as unrequited as one may think. Xavier sees her-he always has. And the vow he made all those years ago never to go there with his best friend’s little sister is wavering, and it’s wavering fast. When they come up with a plan that leads to wedding bells, it’s a no brainer.

This marriage of convenience has one rule: absolutely no falling in love.

Easier said than done. Throw together a girl who believes rules are meant to be broken, and a man whose whole career revolves around following orders and you get a recipe for disaster. What could possibly go wrong?

Shooting a glare at him, I throw my hands up in exasperation. “Are you telling me that this whole anticipation thing is one-sided? Is it that easy for you to resist? I really need to step up my game.”

Xavier’s eyes fall to my lips for a quick moment before he looks back up at me. I see the desire in his expression, and without him even saying a word, I know he wants this, too. So why is he making me wait?

“You have no idea how much I want to kiss you right now. How many times I’ve thought of doing just that. Every time you were curled up against me on the couch, I wanted to kiss you. Every morning when you showed up, I wanted to kiss you. Every time you said goodnight to Lily and then slipped out my door? I wanted to kiss you before you left. It’s not a new development. The first time I ever saw you, Kalli, I wanted to kiss you. And I’ve wanted to ever since.”

His admission floors me. He’s told me before that he “saw” me, but I had no clue it was from the very beginning. I’m not really sure how to process it. In fact, he beats me to the punch.

“So now you know. This will be just as hard for me, but it will be so damn worth it. Because when you’ve wanted something for as long as I’ve wanted you? It’ll be the best feeling in the world when I finally get it.”

“Our first kiss will be that epic?”

“A first kiss to rival them all,” he quips, grinning at me. He holds his arms out wide. “Now, we’ll start with a hug and work our way up.”

“I feel like I’m sixteen again,” I tell him as I wrap my arms around his waist.

His hands come down to my back and he gives me a big squeeze, my head pressing against his firm chest. I love this feeling of being in his arms, him holding me close. There’s nowhere on the planet I’d rather be than right here with him. As much as I want him, I know he’s right. I don’t care when it comes. Because when it does, our first kiss will be unforgettable.

His chest rumbles as he chuckles. He squeezes me tight one last time before letting me go. “And it’s only just the beginning,” he tells me. “Have a good night, crazy girl.”

Before I could react, he had pried my legs apart and was working along my inner right thigh, moving slowly upward. By now, my reservations were gone and I surrendered to him. And when his fingers reached the junction between my legs, I gasped when his hands slipped under my butt and gripped my cheeks, squeezing them in his hands. He could see every intimate part of me, I was sure of it. Letting go of my butt, his hands came around to my folds. At that moment, when his finger slipped between my legs, I clapped my hand over my mouth, suppressing my scream.

His fingers moved along my folds, tracking my wetness up and down. I was so wet at this point that my insides heaved with desire as he stroked me. I wanted to cry out, ask him what he was doing, but I didn’t. I let him manipulate my folds, slowly, methodically bringing me to orgasm. My hips began rocking in time with his hands. God, those hands were making me feel things I never thought possible. I could feel my climax building, like a wave caught in the shallows it was gaining momentum, waiting to wash over me.

I was at his mercy now. I ached for release and was willing to do anything to achieve it. But when his finger inched back and forth over my vagina, teasing me with the promise of what was to come. I bit my lip, desperate for him to penetrate me. His fingers did not wait long to slip inside of me, and when I felt the pressure of him moving deeper, I arched my back and moaned. He was rubbing back and forth over that spot, the one so many men try to find but give up. Well, Mr. Hands knew exactly where my spot was, and as he slowly moved in and out of me, I knew I was going to come harder than I had ever come before.

Craving Resurrection

Aces Series – Book 4

Biker Romance

By Nicole Jacquelyn

Synopsis

Poet and Amy’s story…

Patrick Gallagher’s future was mapped out—and it didn’t include Amy Henderson or the IRA.

She was everything he’d never wanted. Too young. Too naïve.

Unfortunately, he couldn’t help but be fascinated by the girl who took refuge in his old bedroom, staying with his mum more often than not.

She looked like a Renaissance painting and argued like a solicitor. He couldn’t resist her, and before long, he didn’t even want to.

Instead, he loved her unreservedly… then he married her.

But he couldn’t have prepared for what happened after.

Actions, no matter how large or how small, have consequences—and when the IRA comes knocking, he’s sucked into a life that he’d never anticipated.

Choices were made.

Hearts were broken.

Trust was shattered.

Lives were lost.

Through it all, he loved her.

It was a love that spanned decades.

Epic.

Intense.

Unquestionable.

Unbreakable.

Michel’s Review

Craving Resurrection by Nicole Jacquelyn is the fourth book in Aces series.

The Aces series is one of my all time favorite biker / MC series published. Each book in this series features an intense story that has the reader gritting their teeth, hanging on the edge of their seat, riding the emotional roller coaster , and completely immersed within the story. The characters are full of life. Each and every character brings something special to this series. Their stories are captivating. The Aces MC club will ride into your life and take your heart prisoner. Their stories may not be pretty but men behind these stories are beautiful souls.

One character that has caught the readers attention throughout this entire series is Poet,the Vice President of the Aces. He is tough, wise, intuitive, and lethal. His past is a mystery. He has been dubbed the Butcher but his actions show a man of peace even though he is an enforcer. His life with the Aces has inspired his brothers and new recruits. Although he is a prominent leader in the club, he is also an enigma. He keeps his inner thoughts and haunting demons to himself. He has a strong sense of right and wrong, a strong sense of honor, and a strong sense of compassion for others.

The readers have become enchanted by Poet. They have been given glimpses of the man. They have seen his dedication to his family. They have seen him fiercely love his daughter,dote on his granddaughter, and embrace his new son in law. At the same time the readers are given the impression that Poet has been deeply hurt. We sense that he has lost love and never found it again.

Craving Resurrection is Poet’s story.

This story spans a thirty year period. We meet Poet as a young man full of high hopes and ambitions for the future. Young Patrick Gallagher is attending the university with plans on becoming a teacher when he meets the young American/ Irish girl that has become a part of his mum’s life. He falls hopelessly in love with Amy Henderson even though she is too young for him.

Once Amy turns eighteen and her parents have thrown her out on her own and moved back to America, Patrick decides to marry her. Together they are looking forward to building a happy life with love and children. Those dreams are shattered when IRA comes knocking on the door. Patrick is forced into a life he didn’t choose. He is forced to become “The Butcher”. This new role in his life opens a complete can of worms that will change every dream he ever had. He will lose the woman he loves, he will be forced to flee his family, he will have to give up his nationality, and he will give up everything he has ever known. His life was not supposed to turn out this way.

After Patrick left Amy behind in Ireland, his past came back to haunt them. Amy is the one who paid the price for the mistakes he made. She was destroyed. When he finally found Amy a year later in America, it was too late. His betrayal left her hating him. Her new life made him turn his back on her with a heart full of hate. But they will always be tied together throughout their lives. His mother Peg has enough love in heart for both of them. She is the glue that will keep them fragilely connected.

The years will pass. Both Amy and Patrick will make new lives and have their own families. They will move forward, but deep down they will still own each other’s hearts.

When life throws new obstacles, new threats come in to play for both of their families, and truths from the past come to light, Amy and Patrick may be able to forgive one another for the past. That old saying “the truth will set you free” doesn’t necessarily hold true, but it does open new paths to take in life. For Amy and Poet, the key will be forgiveness. There is never a question about their love for one another. It has always been their once in a lifetime thing.

This book was Nicole Jacquelyn’s best book to date. She gave a honest portrayal of how unscripted life really is. She created characters that were dealt some crappy hands in life. No matter how badly they wanted to cling to their past, their lives moved forward. They became stronger people and led very different lives. No matter how many changes they both experienced in their lives, it was still inevitable that these two were truly meant for one another. Craving Resurrection was a beautiful love story that survived an ugly world.

I cannot rave about this book and Aces series enough. Nicole Jacquelyn has created a world that is unforgettable.

Book 3

Farrah Miller and Cody “Casper” Butler have a longstanding relationship that both refuse to discuss.

But getting shot in the chest can change a man’s perspective, and Casper’s done waiting.

When he shows up on her doorstep one night, everything changes.

He’s the man who’s seen her at her very worst.
She’s his weakness.
He runs when things get hard.
She never lets anyone see below the surface and is terrified of being abandoned.

Casper knows it’s a long shot, that there’s a good chance she’ll never drop her guard for him- but he has to try. Because a life with Farrah is exactly what he wants…
Even if he has to fight her for it.

Happy Release + Review: Hot Ice by Lynn Raye Harris

Posted on 01/27/2015 by shellbellereads

Hot Ice

Hostile Operations Team Series – Book 7

By Lynn Rae Harris

Synopsis

When fire and ice collide, you get steam…

Grace Campbell leads a privileged life. The daughter of a United States senator, she moves within the social circles of the rich and famous. But Grace is also a scientist, and when someone learns she possesses the knowledge necessary to create a new super virus capable of destroying entire nations, she becomes a target for terror groups and foreign governments alike.

Garrett “Iceman” Spencer didn’t join the Army’s elite Hostile Operations Team to babysit a spoiled rich girl, but when his superiors insist on assigning him to a senator’s daughter as her security detail, he has no choice but to comply.

It’s a shock to find that beneath the glasses and serious scowl, Grace Campbell burns hot. And Garrett, who’s been burned before, suddenly wants to immerse himself in the flames.

Keeping Grace alive—and keeping his hands off her—is a full-time job for this HOT soldier. Failure is not an option…

Michel’s Review

Lynn Raye Harris never fails to disappoint readers with her impressive romantic suspense series, The Hostile Operations Team series. Each novel can be read as a stand alone or in series order. Each book features a different couple and a completely different plot that keeps readers on the edge of their seats. Hot Ice is the seventh book in this series.

Hot Ice features Garrett “Iceman” Spencer from the team. He is known for his ice cold demeanor and stand off attitude. Garrett has been through a very bitter divorce that has left his heart frozen. The only thing Garrett really truly cares about outside of his work is his young daughter. When he is assigned to protect a prominent Senator’s daughter because of his upbringing and social background, he is pissed. He has no use for a haughty spoiled princesses. He has been there and done that. His new assignment will be a complete surprise. It may even thaw his frozen heart.

Grace Campbell is the daughter of a prominent Senator that has become a presidential hopeful. She is also a brilliant doctor and research scientist. Her research consists of creating a super virus. She is a quiet, shy, and resilient woman. She would rather be in a lab than in the political limelight. Her father’s political aspirations force her to keep up her social appearances. Her father’s announcement of running for president has brought her negative attention concerning her career. It has also put her in jeopardy.

After an attack at the lab, Grace is assigned a special bodyguard from H.O.T. , Garrett Spencer. On the surface he is intimidating and scary. She also finds this tattooed man intriguing and downright sexy. What surprises her the most is the real man under the façade he shows the world.

As the plot thickens, Grace’s life is threatened, and danger lurks at every turn, the sexual tension builds between the two. Once they give in to their attraction to one another their passion ignites. These two are burning up the sheets and searing their hearts.

Hot Ice was packed full of action and suspense as well as red hot passion. Lynn Raye Harris has mastered the craft of writing romantic suspense. She has added a whole new dimension with her scorching love scenes and red hot romance.

I highly recommend this book. I highly recommend this series. These books are guaranteed to deliver a thrilling, exciting, smoldering romance.

Release Blitz + Review + Giveaway : Pretty Smart Girls: Lace Up by Shae Ross

Posted on 01/27/2015 by shellbellereads

Team Ryan

Ryan Rose and her fellow Spartans are finalists in a high-profile entrepreneurial competition. They’re competing for life-changing money and for their futures. They have a solid plan to win. All they need to do is trounce the competition: rich frat boys from an archrival university. Easy, right?

Team Jett

Jett Trebuchet’s first mistake was not realizing that Ryan and her friends were the competition. His second was expressing his unabashed confidence in his team’s ability to win. After all, everyone knows the only thing MSU does better than U of M is produce beautiful, easy women…oh, and he almost forgot to say “dumb.” And boy, does his team pay for that one.

Game On

As each side tries to game the other, something else seems to be getting in the way—attraction. Now Ryan and Jett must keep their teams from getting distracted by the opposite sex…and each other. All is not fair in love and war when it comes to winning this game.

Amazon | B&N | Goodreads

Exclusive Excerpt:

Light spills down his lower half, illuminating the inverted V of his legs, planted in the middle of the passage as solid as Roman columns. My stomach twists. His shoulders and face remain in the shadows, but I’ve seen enough to know. It’s Jett. I could tell by the challenging look on his face earlier, he’s ready for round two—like a boxer bouncing up and down in the corner of the ring. I brush off my hands and start walking toward the cross-armed brick wall. A smile curls into the corners of my mouth. All right, frat boy. Bring it on.

As I draw closer, I see light cutting against the hollowed slope of his cheek. His lips are seamed into a tight line, and his eyes are a kaleidoscope of deep blues. Clearly I’ve struck a nerve with Mr. Perfect. I suppose he’s not used to a woman dealing him into the game and then trouncing him. My feet plant in front of him. I raise my chin and attempt to exude a calm confidence I do not feel.

Michel’s Review

Two teams from the same state but from rival universities competing for the highly coveted prize in a national entrepreneurial competition. One team of men and one team of women. Both teams have valid motives for wanting to win. Will they do anything to get the prize? Will they go against their morals to get ahead? What happens when a huge dose of sexual chemistry and undeniable attraction comes into play?

It is a battle of the sexes. A battle of wit. A battle of the heart. Can one team win the competition without destroying each other?

Pretty Smart Girls was a highly entertaining and witty romance. It stepped outside of the usual New Adult themes and did away with the traditional type of angst portrayed in this genre. All of the players were bitten by cupid. How each couple dealt with their feelings while trying to compete against one another made this book more interesting.

The main couple in this book, Jett and Ryan, kept the readers intrigued. Their verbal foreplay, witty reactions, and intellectual sparring was entertaining.

I enjoyed this book and would recommend this to other readers.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

Grant practically bounded across the room until he was directly in front of me. Then, his hands were cupping my cheeks so tenderly that it was as if he thought I might break in half. Without a word, his mouth dropped down on mine, and the kiss was as light as a feather. It was a question, a soft and delicate question, one he had never asked before—permission.

When I didn’t pull away from him, he received his answer. The kiss deepened, and he coaxed all the anger out of me. He drew it out as if sucking venom from an open wound. He kissed me so heatedly and lovingly that not even a drop remained. All that was left was a bottomless well of emotions of how much I loved and missed him.

When I came back into the moment, I heard the catcalls and yells from the people around us. It was then I remembered that we were in a crowded room, surrounded by people, and Grant had kissed the breath out of me. I flushed from head to toe at the attention, but he wouldn’t let me pull away.

“I’m sorry,” he whispered. “I shouldn’t have blown up on you. I shouldn’t have done anything. You’re all that matters.”

I stared up at him in confusion. “Who are you, and what have you done with Grant McDermott?”

He laughed that beautiful glorious laugh, and a smile lit up his whole face. It was that damn smile that had won me over in the first place.

“Run away with me,” he murmured.

“What?”

“Run away with me. Let’s get out of here.”

“Where are we going?”

“Anywhere. Everywhere.”

LOVING CARA

SEDUCING LAUREN

EXCERPT:

“Okay, plug them in.”

I run to the porch and plug in the lights, then run back into the front yard to see them.

“Oh, they’re so pretty!”

“Thank God they all work,” he says as he tosses the black shoe down to the ground and then moves carefully down to the ladder. “It would be a bitch to have to take them back down.”

“I checked them,” I assure him, and when his foot finally lands safely on the snow and he turns to me, I hit him on the arm. “You shouldn’t have done that! You took ten years off my life!”

I throw my arms around his torso and squeeze him tightly, then back away.

“No, you shouldn’t have been on that ladder. If I catch you on one again, I’ll spank your ass until it glows.”

My jaw drops as I gaze up into his frustrated face. For once in my life, I’m speechless. I scowl as I pull myself together and clench my fists. “You wouldn’t dare . . .”

“Put yourself in danger again and see if I don’t,” he replies calmly and crosses his arms over his chest.

“Did you come here to bully me?”

He sighs and pulls his beanie off his head, pushing his fingers through the messy brown strands. I want to sink my fingers in that thick, dark hair.

“No. I came because you won’t answer your fucking phone so I can apologize for the other night.”

“I don’t want your apology,” I reply and throw the extra lights and staple gun back into the tote and turn away, but he catches my arm and turns me back to him, takes the tote, and sets it down.

“I’m going to give it anyway.” His jaw is firm. “I had no right to kiss you like that in the parking lot for everyone to see.”

I jerk back, mortified. “You’re apologizing for kissing me?”

How much is a life worth?

I grew up in Colombia, the daughter of a wealthy drug lord. I lived a life of extravagance, until one day a drug run went horribly wrong and everything came crashing down around us.

Excerpt

His eyes lit up at that as his gaze travelled across my chest and wandered down to the most private of places. I was clothed and covered in the right places, but in front of him, I felt completely naked. The feeling was unnerving and delicious all at once, which only confused me further.

So he’s sexy as hell. It doesn’t matter. He’s the enemy.

‘It doesn’t matter anyway,’ I added hastily. ‘I’ve got a nasty case of the clap. Better not rape me or your pico might fall off.’ I thrust my chin out as I used the Spanish term for ‘small dick’, smirking at the Gypsy Brother as his warm hands continued to roam every bit of bare flesh on my arms.

Dornan laughed at my admission, a throaty noise full of gravel and insolence that made me increasingly unsteady on my feet.

‘I’m not going to rape you,’ he replied, amusement dancing in his dark eyes. ‘And you don’t have the clap. So don’t use that one on me.’
