Agent: Kennedy Barnes
Target: Phoenix ‘Nix’ Ash
Crimes: Hacker and Heartbreaker
Mission: Get Close and Survive

After living her life in the shadows as the daughter of a congressman’s secret affair, Kennedy Barnes joins ‘Project Greenlight’ – a clandestine intelligence organization. She’s out to prove she’s more than her father’s dirty secret.

One of her first assignments is simple. Get close to Phoenix Ash, collect enough evidence to put him away for life, and get out unscathed.

Phoenix Ash is a world renowned hacker. He’s pulled off some of the biggest heists in modern history, but never leaves a trace. He knows people are after him and that every day may be his last, but when he meets Kennedy Barnes everything changes.

Lines are blurred and secrets are exposed as Phoenix and Kennedy both discover they do have a weakness – for each other.

This is a STANDALONE novel, but is interconnected with Dirty Work, which is now available.

Tracey’s Review

As the secret love child of a U.S. senator, Kennedy Barnes knows a thing or two about hiding who she really is. So, working undercover to bring down the bad guys? Piece of cake. Keeping her emotions out of it? Well, you can’t win them all…

DIRTY SECRET is the second collaboration between authors Chelle Bliss and Brenda Rothert, and together they have written a sexy, sassy, dangerous book that had me hooked from the first intriguing page.

Kennedy is a kick-butt chick. She’s been trained by the best of the best to do whatever it takes to close the deal and bring in the people doing bad, bad things. Sure, Phoenix ‘Nix” Ash is one of those guys, but Kennedy is sure that she can handle him with one hand tied behind her back. After all, she’s got some, erm, assets working in her favor. Problem? Soon enough, she’s all in with Nix’s own assets, and things are getting tricky.

Nix has been doing the thing he’s best at for a very long time, and he’s not about to be brought down by a long pair of legs and a take-no-junk attitude. So what if Kennedy makes him feel things he’s had locked down for forever? He’s in control. Until he isn’t.

DIRTY SECRET is all kinds of hot, filled with political intrigue and the seedy underbelly of the criminal world. Chelle and Brenda have done a stellar job of creating characters that can take are of themselves, and anyone else that should happen along, and writing their story in such a way that I just could not put it down. The chemistry between Kennedy and Nix fairly explodes off the page, melting panties left and right, and making for some seriously hot encounters that will not be forgotten anytime soon. 4.5 steamy, covert, hot-as-sin stars for DIRTY SECRET. Do not miss out on this one, I’m telling you. You can thank me later…

Tracey’s Review

“When I think of love and happiness, you’re the only face I see.”

As part of the Royal Guard of Monagasco, Logan Hunt has seen his fair share of action. But he’s ready for a change. When a week of enforced R&R finds him reunited with the one woman that he’s never forgotten, Logan finally believes that he can have the life he wants for himself.

As part of the Dirty Players series by author Tia Louise, DIRTY DEALERS has all of the elements that make these books so addictively readable. There’s the allure of a Grace Kelly sort of fairytale, where everyday people are swept into a life of favor, but there’s also plenty of intrigue, political maneuvering, and good old passion.

Logan has long been a member of the elite Royal Guard, and, after the action he’s seen in service to his country, he’s more than ready to step away and find a simpler life. When a seemingly chance encounter brings Cassandra back into his life, Logan begins to believe that he can have all the things that he’s been longing for while seeing those closest to him find their happily ever afters. But Kass has secrets, the kind of secrets that will thrust both her and Logan, as well as the Royal Family, right back into the middle of intrigue, danger, and betrayal.

As a fan of romances with a twist, I really enjoyed DIRTY DEALERS, finding the intricate dance of the characters more than compelling enough to keep me turning the pages to find the outcome of Logan’s and Kass’ story. And, just so you don’t think that it’s not a real romance, well, it wouldn’t be a Tia Louise book if there wasn’t plenty of heartfelt revelation and blisteringly hot passion. This 4-star read is the perfect addition to this series that has become a favorite, and is perfect for Tia’s fans, and anyone looking for a little bit of danger with their HEA.

Billionaire Builders, #2

BLURB:

HGTV’s Property Brothers meets The Marriage Bargain in this second volume in the Billionaire Builders series, an all-new heart-wrenching and sexy contemporary romance from New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst.

When she was a teen, Raven Bella Stratton’s father was killed in a horrible car crash. The bigger shock was the discovery of a woman with him—Diana Pierce—and their two fully packed suitcases with airline tickets to Paris. Devastated by her father’s betrayal, Raven went to live with her aunt, never truly overcoming the traumatic event. When she discovers that the mysterious woman had a family with a husband and three boys, Raven vows to leave the memory of her father behind.

Until Dalton Pierce visits one night and suddenly her past challenges her future…

Leaving his life in California behind to run Pierce Construction with his two older brothers, Dalton Pierce has enjoyed returning home and studying his passion of woodworking. But when he visits the local bar with his brothers one evening, he’s immediately drawn to the smart-mouthed, badass, sexy bartender who sets his body on fire. Unfortunately, she doesn’t seem as intrigued by him, and his multiple advances are met with rejection. When he offers to restore the bar back to its original glory, he begins to work with her on a daily basis, and falls harder. His plan of seduction slowly weaves a web around them both, until they are caught up in the spell. But Dalton doesn’t know the secret that can either destroy them both…or finally mend two broken hearts.

Michel’s Review

The Pierce Brothers are back and their doing more than building million dollar homes.  Any Time, Any Place by Jennifer Probst is the second book in the Billionaire Builders series.

Dalton Pierce is the youngest sibling.  After the devastation of their mother’s death, the Pierce family fell apart.  The two younger brothers left to pursue their own dreams rather than take their place in the family construction company.  They are forced to return home for one year to help rebuild the company.  The terms of their father’s will was very specific with harsh repercussions if they failed.

Dalton Pierce had spent his time away from home mastering his craft in woodworking.  He is a truly gifted artist and master of his trade. He’s ready to take his place in the business and become a team player.  While his brothers are managers and number crunchers, Dalton is the specialist that brings more to the table.

The Pierce brothers are finally together once again and working their way through past resentments and family problems.  The are working together to build a better company than the one their father left behind.  Dalton is known to be the charming ladies man of the three.  His charms could be a hindrance rather than an asset.  He’s intrigued with the sexy bartender/ restaurant owner Raven Stratton.  On one hand she’s a brilliant bartender, business woman that knows how to handle her customers with the right drink and the right amount of snark.  She doesn’t take any nonsense from her customers but always makes them feel at home in her bar.  When it comes to the Pierce brothers, she doesn’t want their patronage, in fact she has thrown them out without cause or reason.  They have declared an unspoken truce but Dalton wants more from the prickly bartender.  He wants to get his hands on her bar ( literally) and restore her to her former beauty.  He wouldn’t mind getting his hands on Raven as well.

Raven has struggled with her life after her father’s death.  She went off the rails and lived a wild life for many years.  She has finally made peace with her demons and has found her niche in life.  She’s striving to become a successful business owner.  Her bar is taking off and it’s time to invest in expansion and remodel.  When Dalton Pierce makes an offer she can’t refuse she knows she is in trouble.  She is going to have to suck up her ill feelings towards the Pierce family and let go of the past.

The past has tied Dalton and Raven together and almost destroyed both of their lives.  This is their chance to redefine the past and make a new future.  It’s their time.

I thoroughly enjoyed this book.  I can’t wait to see what is in store for the final Pierce brother.

Release Blitz + Excerpt + 5 Star Review + Giveaway: Taking Turns by J A Huss – The Turning Series – Book 1

 

 

 

Title: Taking Turns
Series: Turning #1
Author: JA Huss
Genre: Dark Erotic Suspense
Release Date: January 18, 2017
Blurb

Chella plays the game of Taking Turns with three men as she comes to terms with her sexuality.

I’ve never been afraid of the dark…but that doesn’t mean I wanted to live in it. And maybe everyone wants what they can’t have, but I should’ve thought it over before I accepted the key and unlocked the door to their forbidden world.

Number One is mostly silent. He watches me with them very carefully. His gaze never wanders. His interest never wanes.

Number Two is mostly gentle. But it’s the other side of him I like best. The wild side.

Number Three is mostly reserved. He refuses to cross the line. Even when I beg.

It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That’s it. That’s all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden.

I just didn’t expect to like them.

Excerpt

QUIN

“You want it hard tonight?” I ask. “You want me to fuck you hard?” I grab her hair and pull, making her upper body lift up off the mattress. My other hand is digging into the flesh just below her hip.

I scoot back and reach under her thighs, drawing them up so she’s on her knees, and press her face into the pillow as I pound her from behind.

“Yeah,” I say, half speaking, half moaning. “You like it like this, don’t you? You let Bric fuck you like this all the time, don’t you?”

I reach around and smack her tit, which makes her yelp. A high-pitched yelp I’m not familiar with. For a second I think I’ve hurt her, and I slow down. But she backs up into me, covering my dick again. Burying it deep inside her. Everything is already so wet. She feels so goddamned good tonight.

“You fucking whore,” I say, letting go of her hair so she falls face-first back into the pillow. “You let Bric fuck you like this, Rochelle? You like the way he slaps you around? Hmm?”

Hell, I like the way Bric slaps her around. And as soon as that thought enters my head I laugh.

“Maybe we’ll do it rough next weekend. You want that? You want us to fuck you hard? Stick our dicks inside you at the same time?”

Another unfamiliar moan.

“I’ll take that as a yes,” I say, still kinda laughing. But then I let it go and just… fuck her. I grab onto her ass and do it hard. Pounding her with so much force, her head is inching closer and closer to the headboard of the bed.

I don’t stop when it finally makes it there. I just keep thrusting until the pounding is compounded by the headboard crashing into the wall.

She’s moaning. Close. So fucking close to coming. I reach underneath her body and strum her clit to the rhythm we’re making. She goes wild. Wild like I’ve never seen her before. Writhing, and moaning, and gasping for air.

I draw back, grab her hips, and flip her over, one hand pushing her head aside so her cheek is pressing into the pillow, the other one still playing with her pussy. I watch my dick as it slips in and out, just barely able to make it out in the dim, filtered light from outside.

I grab her hair, so fucking ready to come, and yank her head so she has to look at me. Her eyes are closed, but I don’t care. I press my hand over her mouth and close my eyes too. And then I spill inside her. Throwing my head back to let out a groan of relief.

Her legs are trembling from the exertion. Little spasms as she gasps for breath. I laugh a little as I roll off to the side and wrap my arms around her. “What’s wrong, baby? Too much for you tonight?”

No answer.

I bury my head into her neck and smell her hair.

“Did you get a new shampoo?” I ask. “You smell so different.”

No answer.

“You want a date with Bric on Sunday? Hmm? We can skip Smith if you want.” I kiss her neck and then pull back and open my eyes. Trying to get an idea if she’s up for this kind of fun. It’s been a while so I—

I blink my eyes. Three times, fast.

“Rochelle—”

“I’m sorry,” she says. “I’m sorry—”

But I’m up and out of the bed, fisting her hair and pulling her with me. She drops to the floor, whimpering.

“I’m sorry,” she says again.

“Who the fuck are you?” I ask. “Where the fuck is Rochelle?”

 
“I’m sorry,” she says. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry, I’m sorry.”

End of Game

JA Huss is one of those authors that completely takes me by surprise with every new novel or new series she unleashes into the reading world.  Expect the unexpected.  Be prepared for twists and turns that add layers upon layers before reaching a concise conclusion or ending to a story.  The ending may just be the beginning or an unexpected revelation.  Be prepared to journey into the dark sensual world that not only fulfills the erotic fantasy but also delves into the minds of very unique individuals in the darkness.  With JA Huss there is no black or white, light or dark, right or wrong, or good and bad. It’s a combination of it all melding together to make one outstanding and thought provoking story.  The story holds the reader captive and leaves them wanting more.

After reading Taking Turns by JA Huss, I was completely floored by what I had just read.  It was not the typical erotic romance novel that revolves around the darker side of sex or menage scenes that scorch the pages.  It had those elements but also included so much more.  This book is about four characters driven by a dark need. Taking Turns is told through each characters POV with a very clear understanding of who is who in each passage.  Each character stands uniquely on their own merits with distinct and very likable personalities.  While their motivations are questionable, the reader gets a sense of who they are until JA Huss throws another layer to their persona.  What makes this book stand out was not the sex itself, it was how the sex scenes came into play, how each individual approached the situation, and what they gave to reach each situation.

In most cases, erotic romance walks a fine line in definition.  The romance tends to get lost or overpowered by the erotic elements.  I went into this book expecting that to happen. Throughout most of the book the erotic elements were the forefront of the story unfolding. It was questionable if a romance would develop and who would be the ones involved in the romance.  As each man’s personality materialized I found myself hoping he was the one. As the sexual heat intensified between the four, one man began to surface to the top. It is at that point the reader realizes that this story has had the romance all along but it was cleverly disguised as something else.  This is pure JA Huss brilliance at it’s best.

I can honestly say that I am still processing what I read in Taking Turns.  I have many questions that I know will be answered by the end of the series. I have no doubt that JA Huss is going to throw some new kinks into the mix.  She’s going to take the readers on a mind boggling journey before The Turning Series ends.

What started out as a game with no losers or winners has turned into a game of consequences.  I can’t wait to see what comes next in The Turning Series.  Turning Back will release on April 12, 2017.

I lived in the dark for three years. My whole world revolved around the whims and happiness of three men. It was just a trip into the forbidden. A way out of a bad situation and forward into nothingness.

Quin, with his easy smile and charming good looks. He was always there for me… Until he wasn’t.

Smith, and his dispassionate attention. He was never there for me and he never regretted it.

Bric, the one who listened, but only to himself. Self-absorbed, self-obsessed, and self-serving. He was never the one I wanted.

And now he might be the only one I have left.

It was good while it lasted, I guess. But it could’ve been so much more. It could’ve been so much better.

And that’s why I’m turning back.

To Have It All

By B. N. Toler

Buy: Amazon

9112b-goodreads

Synopsis

Rock bottom.

Liam had set up shop there.

After an accident left him injured and unable to work, it wasn’t long before he ended up on the street with his dreams in the gutter.

This was it.

This was his life.

Until the day he met Max Porter—a man who appeared to have it all. They didn’t meet so much as made eye contact as Max sneered at Liam, the bum occupying precious space on the sullied New York City street.

When Max stepped into oncoming traffic, a lesser man might’ve let him. But Liam risked his life to save Max only to be left to die without a second thought.

When Liam woke up days later, he wasn’t himself…at least he wasn’t in his body.

He was in Max’s.

And with Liam’s body on life support, there was only one logical conclusion: Max was trapped in Liam’s comatose body.

Somehow the twisted hands of fate had given Liam a second chance; a chance to have it all. But with all the perks of Max’s life also came his problems. Finding balance in his new identity was challenged more so once Liam fell for Waverly, Max’s beautiful ex.

Could Liam live out his life as another man or would he pull the plug and let fate decide?

Would he lose his chance at true love?

Would he lose the chance to have it all?

Michel’s Review

Wow… what an extraordinary story!  The blurb for To Have It All by B N Toler captured my attention on release day.  I immediately downloaded it and devoured it in one sitting.  It was unique with extraordinary circumstances that controlled the lives of two very different men.  One man is a good soul in a bad situation.  The other man has everything a person could desire but has carelessly wasted the gifts life has bestowed upon him.  Karma stepped in and changed their lives in a matter of seconds. Liam and Max are bound together in life and death.

Max is trapped inside a dying body while he witnesses another man, Liam, stealing his life.

Liam is trapped inside Max’s gorgeous, fit body that possesses wealth, power, and a blessed life.  Max has carelessly treated these gifts and threw away everything good in his life.  He has treated others very badly and only cared about his own needs.  Being trapped inside Max’s body, a man that is ugly to the core and hated by every person he has had contact with are hard shoes to fill when it goes against Liam’s own morals and ethics.  Trying to live his own life without disrupting Max’s is even worse because Max has everything Liam ever wanted.  He had the love of a good woman that he drove away.  He was blessed with a beautiful child he didn’t want.  Liam knows his time has an expiration date.  He knows his real body is dying. Does he grab onto the gifts in Max’s life for a brief moment or does he proceed as Max would?

Sometimes there isn’t a choice.  Sometimes you have to grab onto life and live it to it’s fullest.  Sometimes you have to reap what you sow.

Only fate knows….

I was floored by the pure beauty of this book.  It was truly an emotional story that had a powerful message.  I have become a huge B.N. Toler fan.  She is an amazing author that reaches deep and touches the soul.

TRAE
It’s a call that changes my life–and my little girl’s. Years ago, playing for the NBA was the dream, but the Seattle Stallions suck. Worse than that, my old teammate is now the star center–not to mention my number one rival. There has to be a catch, some sort of agenda. Before I was injured, I was the best. Now? There’s no way they want me.

But when I see the roster and salaries, it all comes together. It’s a chance to get on the court again and change our lives. And I just can’t wait for the opportunity to finally take him down. What I never counted on is Courtney Cohen being the game changer.

COURTNEY
I inherited the Bad News Bears of the NBA. When I discovered the star center, my ex fiancé, cheating on me, all I want is to jump ship before the whole thing sinks. But with revenge on my mind, I exact a plan. Take down the dirty player and save my father’s dream.

Suddenly twelve minutes is too little time, and a season is not long enough.

Excerpt

“You still afraid of me?” Courtney asks. I push her hair out of her face. “No.” “I’m afraid of you.” “No beer muscles tonight?” I ask, glancing at her empty glasses. She shakes her head. I scoot in closer to her. “Tell me what you’re afraid of.” “Liking you too much,” she says then takes a drink. I turn her in her seat so she’s facing me. “You’re gonna like me even more when I’m inside you.” Her body grows taut. “You can’t say stuff like that. It makes me uncomfortable.” “Well, now I’m going to have to do it more often to get you used to it; make you crave it, beg for it.”

Michel’s Review

I am a huge fan of sports themed romance books. I have read about almost every sport except for basketball.  When I was presented with the opportunity to review Offensive Rebound by MJ Fields, I jumped on it because I knew it would be a new reading experience for me.  While I thoroughly enjoyed the book, liked the characters, and felt the passion, I found a few glitches in the story that held me back from fully investing in it.

Courtney Cohen has inherited the Seattle Stallions Basketball team.  This team is relatively new and the joke of the NBA world.  Her father had purchased the team and built a state of the art arena with the hopes of leaving a legacy behind for her.  Before he could carry out his intentions and build the legacy he passed away from a sudden heart attack.  Courtney was still in college and had no idea how to handle a multi billion dollar business.  She handed the management over to her boyfriend, Brock Boehiem, who was the star player of the Seattle Stallions.  Months later she’s informed that the organization is almost bankrupt and is about to go under.  She is forced to take over the reins.  Upon her arrival she not only finds out that her team has been mismanaged but that her boyfriend is also a lying cheat.  He has a solid contract so she cannot fire him but she can take over the management.

The organization is a complete mess.  She is going to have to rebuild the inner management from the ground up.  She is also going to have to assert her management over the players and the coach.  She is not a member of the good old boys club and is met with defiance, rebellion, and attitude.  She must gain control of the players before the ball is in her court.  The only player cooperating is the new guy, Trae Rhodes.  Trae Rhodes is a washed up college player that was signed by her father before he passed away.  Why would her father bring on a player that isn’t on the same playing level as her team members.

Trae Rhodes is grateful for the opportunity and a chance in the pros.  His life had drastically changed after a college injury that left him unable to play the game he loved.  His life went in a different direction and he had new priorities that outshine basketball.  Playing at a professional level will give him the income he needs and the credibility he needs in the world of basketball.  It is merely a stepping stone in his life.  Becoming a Seattle Stallion will also give him the opportunity to settle an old score with Brock Boehiem, his most hated enemy.  Charlie Cohen signed him on for a reason and it may not be for his playing abilities.

It’s become clear that Courtney Cohen is Brock Boehiem’s achilles heel.  Trae isn’t sure if can use Courtney to settle his score.  He had too much respect for her old man.  He is beginning to immensely respect the powerful woman Courtney Cohen is becoming.

All is not right on the Seattle Stallions playing court.  Courtney and Trae will soon learn there’s a different game being played.  Together they can turn this team around and make it a contender in the NBA world.

I thoroughly enjoyed the romance between Courtney and Trae.  I loved his dedication to the ones he cared about.  I loved his sense of integrity.  I enjoyed watching Courtney grow from a naive young woman to a powerful executive and sensual woman.  The story had a good premise but I struggled with the professional aspects of it.  My logical mind struggled with it.  It takes more than one or two people to handle a multi billion dollar business.  An organization of this magnitude has an army in the office. It takes multi managers, multi departments, micro managers, and a specialized staff.  The players are professionals under contract.  Their careers and lively hood depends upon their performances.  Their performances dictate whether they stay within the professional world of basketball.  In this book the players seemed to have a high school or college mentality that followed the leader rather than relying on their agents and attorneys.  One player had too much control and that would never happen in the world of professional sports.  The same goes for the coaches.  Coaches and players are not involved in the financial aspect of the business other than receiving their earnings and meeting contractual obligations.

I enjoyed this basketball romance and would recommend to other readers.

Friction by Emily Snow

Publication Date: January 18th, 2017

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: HEA Press

Friction a SEXY All-New Standalone from Emily Snow is now LIVE!

Former overachiever Lucy WillIams sucks at adulting.

Recent divorce, check.

Pending lawsuit, check.

A move back to Boston to live with her mother, triple check.

It can’t get much worse, right?

When she starts her new marketing job at EXtreme Effects, she’s positive shit’s stopped hitting the fan. Sure, what she’s advertising is a little … unorthodox, but it pays the bills. And since she’s seconds away from becoming Lucy Williams: Wednesday Night Bingo Enthusiast, she needs money to get the hell out of her mother’s house.

The only problem is her boss, Mr. Extreme himself: Jace Exley. He’s everything any sane woman dreams of—alpha, successful, ridiculously gorgeous. He’s also Lucy’s worst nightmare. Because like every overachiever, she has that underachiever she brushed off. The slacker who, once upon a time ago, was the object of her dirtiest schoolgirl fantasies.

Jace Exley—with his sarcastic smirk and delicious accent—just happens to be that guy.

And the friction between them?

Well, that’s the only adulting Lucy seems to be winning at.

Tracey’s Review

Have you heard this one? A girl walks into a room…and gets almost the biggest shock of her life…

And, once again, author Emily Snow has knocked it out of the park with this sexier-than-sin, frenemies-to-lovers read that is FRICTION. Yep, I still have flames coming out of my ears after this one, because it was STEAMY. But in typical Emily fashion, there is so much more to this book than just the combustible chemistry between the hot mogul and the uptight woman that finds herself working for him. So much more.

To say that life is not going Lucy Williams’ way is an understatement. So she’s hardly surprised when a blind job interview lands her squarely in the domain, and at the mercy, of none other than Jace Exley, the guy that Lucy once wrote off as the guy most likely to amount to nothing. Fate, Karma, Destiny, call her what you will, is a fickle, fickle lady, with a memory miles long, so how ironic that Lucy, out of a job and down on her luck, would need to make nice with her one-time nemesis.

Emily Snow can write a hot alpha guy, and she has done a superb job with Jace. Being in charge comes naturally to him, and he’s none-too-subtle about the fact that he’s the one calling the shots – and enjoying it – with Lucy. But Jace is more than just a guy with a thriving, um, alternative business and a body and face to die for. He’s got those layers, the ones that aren’t apparent at a single glance. Discovering those layers is a lesson for Lucy, and one that fans the flames of her attraction and admiration.

I like Lucy a lot. Like others of Emily’s heroines, she’s got spine. Those life lessons? Yeah, they’re coming fast and furiously, and she’s not just sitting back and focusing on how bad things have gotten, she’s moving forward and cutting the dreck out of her life. Seeing her loosen up as she gets to know Jace and his world better only makes me like her more. And, Emily, if you’re reading this, MORE JAMIE. Because a girl’s best friend, especially one as feisty as Jamie, deserves a story of her own.

A book is a success for me if I can’t put it down, if I feel strongly about the characters, if the story is original and fresh, and Emily hits all those markers expertly in FRICTION. This book is an easy 5 sexy, compelling, page-flipping stars, and one that I won’t forget soon. It needs to be on your TBRs, guys, so grab it now, and thank me later.

Synopsis

I was a Sixty-Eight Whiskey—a combat medic. So when I hear someone shout “MEDIC!” training just kicks in. It’s automatic, immediate. I don’t think I even saw the guy whose leg I tended to, not really. All I saw was him. Zane Badd. His tuxedo fit him like he’d been sewn into it, and his eyes reflected the fury and the hardness of a combat veteran, but when he looked at me, he just…softened. By the time I had his brother patched, Zane and I were both covered in blood, and I knew I had to have him.

The trouble with Zane isn’t getting him, it’s keeping him.

And the trouble with me is, even if I could hold onto a man like Zane, I wouldn’t know what to do with him. It’s not in my nature, and if life has taught me anything, it’s to not trust anyone, least of all men like Zane. He’s a warrior through and through, hard, muscular, gorgeous, tenacious, and yet oddly tender toward me.

Experience and instincts are telling me to run from Zane Badd as fast as possible, but my heart and my body are telling me to stay, to hold on and not let go. Yeah, it’s a conflict as old as humanity itself, but it’s brand new for me.

*   *   *

Life as Navy SEAL doesn’t exactly prepare you for normality. Yeah, I can tend bar and goof off with my seven crazy brothers, but what do I do when the woman of my dreams—dreams I didn’t know I’d had until I saw her—explodes into my life like a frag grenade? I’m trained to attack, to win, to survive at any costs, and figuring out what to do about a woman like Amarantha Quinn will take every scrap of tenacity and courage I possess. Combat is easy, it turns out, in comparison to facing your own fears and scars.

And then sometimes, just when you think you’ve got it finally figured out, fate throws you a screwball and sends everything FUBAR.

Michel’s Review

The eight sexy BADD brothers are back and not only serving up the cocktails but also serving up some red hot, panty melting action in Ketchikan, Alaska.  We met the oldest brother, the sexy bar proprietor, Sebastian Badd in the first book, Badd Motherf*cker. Now it’s time to meet another BADD boy in the second book, Badd Ass.

 The seven younger BADD brothers left Ketchikan to pursue their own dreams, leaving Sebastian behind to run the family bar. After their father passed away, his seven brothers were forced to return home for one year and help run the legacy he left behind. A bartender, a Navy Seal, a semi-pro football player, a sexy stunt pilot, rock star twins, a wanderlust soul,and a certified genius are serving up the sexy along with the cocktails.  The ladies are flocking to the bar with hopes of experiencing a whole lot of BADD.  It’s going to take some very special women to handle the BADD boys.

Zane Badd was the first brother to return home.  He resigned from his commission as a Navy Seal to return home to Ketchikan to carry out the stipulations of his father’s will for his older brother Sebastian, who has sacrificed everything for them.  Upon returning home he finds his older brother is falling in love and heading towards the alter.  Watching his brother experience the ins and outs of a committed relationship is an eye opener.  For the first time in his life he is questioning if there is more to his own life than being a soldier and a brother.  He’s definitely not ready for love and commitment but sees the potential down the road.  For now he’s happy to please the ladies, enjoy the pleasures of one night stand hook ups, hang with his brothers, and resettle into Ketchikan life.  That mantra falls to pieces when his younger brothers cuts his leg in a drunken bout at Sebastian’s wedding.  The sexy medic that steps up to help has his full attention. He is taking this sexy medic home and straight to his bed. A one night stand that blows his mind and leaves him wanting more.  He intends to monopolize every moment of her free vacation time burning up the sheets and bringing down the house.  He never intended to fall in love.

Amaratha ( Mara ) Quinn is not the typical female looking for love, marriage, and happily ever after.  In fact she has never really done relationships and prefers one night stand hookups.  She has a healthy sex drive and satisifies it without expectations of more.  She’s a one and done girl.  She has a good career and has made a life for herself in San Francisco.  It was great until her best friend moved to Seattle and made her life seem lonely.  She’s heading to Ketchikan to meet up with her best friend Claire for a few days of vacation and fun.  While waiting for Claire’s cruise ship to arrive she wanders into a bar that is throwing an open wedding party and meets one of the sexiest men she has laid eyes on.  He’s the perfect male specimen to scratch her itch and add to her vacation fun. A one night stand that literally melts her panties.  Maybe she should rethink the one and done and have a vacation fling.

The chemistry between Zane and Mara is sizzling hot.  They are burning up the sheets and finding out there is more to sex when they open their minds and hearts to the possibilities. A vacation fling may change their lives forever.

I loved this book.  It was not only loaded with erotic romance, it was light hearted, fun, and loaded with BADD charm.  Not only did the reader get to know Zane Badd but also began to see the distinct personalities of all of the BADD boys.  I have fallen in love with each of these BADD boys and can’t wait to see which one falls next.

Taking Turns

The Turning Series – Book 1

By J A Huss

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

I’ve never been afraid of the dark…but that doesn’t mean I wanted to live in it. And maybe everyone wants what they can’t have, but I should’ve thought it over before I accepted the key and unlocked the door to their forbidden world.

Number One is mostly silent. He watches me with them very carefully. His gaze never wanders. His interest never wanes.

Number Two is mostly gentle. But it’s the other side of him I like best. The wild side.

Number Three is mostly reserved. He refuses to cross the line. Even when I beg.

It was carnal, it was sensual, and it was erotic. That’s it. That’s all it was supposed to be. A trip into the dark. A peek into the forbidden.

I just didn’t expect to like them.

*****

I heard the door open and close and said nothing. And the footsteps coming down the hallway towards the bedroom. I even heard him say, “Hey.” So softly. “You awake?” Like he didn’t want to wake me.

I listened as he stepped into the closet. There was that slick sound a man makes when he pulls his tie through his shirt collar. I heard the unclasping of his watch. The jingle of his belt buckle and the shuffle of his pants as they dropped to the floor.

I even heard his moan as he stood over me. I could feel his shadow from the streetlamp outside like it was heat.

Then the bed creaked, the mattress sank. And his warm, hard body straddled me.

Still, I said nothing.

I just buried my face in the sweet scent of the pillow and closed my eyes, feigning sleep.

“Rochelle,” he whispered, leaning over me. His fingertips gently brushed the hair away from my shoulder. His mouth pressed against my skin. “Did you miss me? God, I’ve missed you. Two weeks is too long. We need to renegotiate.”

He nipped my neck. Kissed it. Licked my ear as he positioned himself to begin.

And I said… nothing.

Even though my name is not Rochelle.

That’s why I’m here. Tied up and gagged inside the closet. Sitting in the dark as three men on the other side of the door argue about where Rochelle went, why I was in her bed, and what they should do next.

I should be scared but I’m not.

I should be screaming, but I won’t.

Because this just feels very, very right.

And the only thing on my mind is… what will happen next?

End of Game

JA Huss is one of those authors that completely takes me by surprise with every new novel or new series she unleashes into the reading world.  Expect the unexpected.  Be prepared for twists and turns that add layers upon layers before reaching a concise conclusion or ending to a story.  The ending may just be the beginning or an unexpected revelation.  Be prepared to journey into the dark sensual world that not only fulfills the erotic fantasy but also delves into the minds of very unique individuals in the darkness.  With JA Huss there is no black or white, light or dark, right or wrong, or good and bad. It’s a combination of it all melding together to make one outstanding and thought provoking story.  The story holds the reader captive and leaves them wanting more.

After reading Taking Turns by JA Huss, I was completely floored by what I had just read.  It was not the typical erotic romance novel that revolves around the darker side of sex or menage scenes that scorch the pages.  It had those elements but also included so much more.  This book is about four characters driven by a dark need. Taking Turns is told through each characters POV with a very clear understanding of who is who in each passage.  Each character stands uniquely on their own merits with distinct and very likable personalities.  While their motivations are questionable, the reader gets a sense of who they are until JA Huss throws another layer to their persona.  What makes this book stand out was not the sex itself, it was how the sex scenes came into play, how each individual approached the situation, and what they gave to reach each situation.

In most cases, erotic romance walks a fine line in definition.  The romance tends to get lost or overpowered by the erotic elements.  I went into this book expecting that to happen. Throughout most of the book the erotic elements were the forefront of the story unfolding. It was questionable if a romance would develop and who would be the ones involved in the romance.  As each man’s personality materialized I found myself hoping he was the one. As the sexual heat intensified between the four, one man began to surface to the top. It is at that point the reader realizes that this story has had the romance all along but it was cleverly disguised as something else.  This is pure JA Huss brilliance at it’s best.

I can honestly say that I am still processing what I read in Taking Turns.  I have many questions that I know will be answered by the end of the series. I have no doubt that JA Huss is going to throw some new kinks into the mix.  She’s going to take the readers on a mind boggling journey before The Turning Series ends.

What started out as a game with no losers or winners has turned into a game of consequences.  I can’t wait to see what comes next in The Turning Series.  Turning Back will release on April 12, 2017.

Excerpt

 

I’m a woman on a mission when I step off my last flight at six o’clock at night, annoyed it took me an entire freaking day to get here since I made my plans at the last minute. As soon as I leave the rental car desk, I’m headed for my first destination. Logan’s shop.

He’s never going to know what hit him. My skirt is short, my heels are tall, and my hair, skin, and nails are perfect from the pampering I managed to sneak in this week.

I pull into the parking lot an hour and a half later, mostly because I was so busy singing along to every kick-ass female anthem on my playlist that I missed the turn and went fifteen miles in the wrong direction.

But no one needs to know that little detail.

The lights are still on, and Logan’s truck is parked in its normal spot alongside the building. No other cars remain in the lot.

I pull out my phone and switch it out of airplane mode. I told myself I kept it there all day because I was worried about the safety of my flights and obviously because of the FAA regulations, but that’s total bull.

I didn’t trust myself not to answer what must be at least a few messages from Logan. I wanted this to be a surprise. Like when Logan thought I might be pregnant, this is a discussion that needs to happen in person.

A few text messages pop up from him immediately, and they’re progressively more . . . let’s call it assertive.

My Sexy Man: Bruce, call me.

My Sexy Man: Seriously, babe. Call me.

My Sexy Man: CALL ME.

My Sexy Man: This radio silence shit will not fly. Call me, Bruce.

My Sexy Man: Banner Regent, don’t even try to dodge me. I know where you are, and I will come to you and show you how a real man handles this situation.

 

A smile spreads over my face. I’ve come to terms with a few things in the last twenty-four hours, and one of them is that I don’t care if I’m the first one to say those words I’ve been holding back. I love Logan Brantley, and I’m not going to let another day go by without telling him. To his face.

After I park, I slide out of the car, careful not to pull a Britney and flash anyone my vag because I’m going commando under this skirt, and strut my ass up to the entrance.

I push on the door that opens into the waiting room, but it doesn’t budge. Locked. Well, dammit, that’s not part of my plan. I bang on it, but no one comes. The beat of whatever rock song he’s listening to is thumping through the walls.

I pull my phone out of my wristlet and text him back.

Banner: Open the damn door.

A response pops up in seconds.

My Sexy Man: What door?

Banner: I’m waiting.

Tracey’s Review

OMG, OMG, O.M.Gosh! I read a lot, but there aren’t many times that I stop for virtually nothing, flipping pages like it’s my business, because I love a book so darned much. Okay, yes, there are, but, oh, my gosh. It’s only January, and author Meghan March has released two, yes, TWO, books that are on my 2017 Favorites list.

After the mother of all cliffhangers at the end of REAL GOOD MAN, Meghan totally brings it with this second book of her Real Duet series. More Banner, more Logan, more spurned Kentucky lady smackdowns, this book has it all. I found myself laughing out loud on more than one occasion, and when I say that I loved everything about this book, I mean everything.

If I thought that I couldn’t love Banner and Logan and the unexpectedly awesome relationship between them any more, I was wrong. Because, just, so much love. This is a couple that totally should not work together, but Meghan showed us in Book 1 that love rises above expectations. (And, yes, I said it, the ‘L’ word, because there’s plenty of it here in REAL GOOD MAN.) I credit both Banner and Logan for breaking through expected outcomes and stereotypes to forge a relationship that no one, not even themselves, saw coming, and making it stronger than all the things and people trying to break them apart.

There’s action aplenty in this book, as the mystery introduced in the first book comes to a dangerous and nail-biting conclusion. And, oh, did I say hot and steamy times that require a fan and copious amounts of icy beverage to cool this reader down? Yep, Logan and Banner are made for each other, and don’t hesitate to show it any chance that they get, sharing both passion and humor in a way that had me both grinning and wiping my forehead as I read.

If you’re not sure yet about this duet of books, let me assure you that they are at the top of my list of books that I’ve read lately that I would not hesitate to recommend. Meghan has won me over times a gazillion with the Real Duet books, and, if I could give them more than 5 stars, I would. No surprise, then, that REAL GOOD MAN nets 5+ steamy, passionate, addictive stars for a couple that stands out as one of my favorites, like, ever. Ever, y’all, so get your fingers clicking and snap these books up. You’re welcome.
