Second Chance Summer

Cedar Ridge Series – Book 1

By Jill Shalvis

85a58-goodreads

Synopsis

Cedar Ridge, Colorado, is famous for crisp mountain air, clear blue skies, and pine-scented breezes. And it’s the last place Lily Danville wants to be. But she needs a job, and there’s an opening at the hottest resort in her hometown. What has her concerned is the other hot property in Cedar Ridge: Aidan Kincaid-firefighter, rescue worker, and heartbreaker. She never could resist that devastating smile . . .

The Kincaid brothers are as rough and rugged as the Rocky Mountains they call home. Aidan has always done things his own way, by his own rules. And never has he regretted anything more than letting Lily walk out of his life ten years ago. If anyone has ever been in need of rescuing, she has. What she needs more than anything are long hikes, slow dances, and sizzling kisses. But that can only happen if he can get her to give Cedar Ridge-and this bad boy-a second chance . . .

Tracey’s Review

The first time around for Lily Danville and Aidan Kincaid did not end well. With Lily on the run from her personal demons, and Aidan caught up in the care and keeping of his extended family, the timing just wasn’t right. But when Lily, on the run from a major career mishap, comes home to Cedar Ridge, it doesn’t take long for things to heat up again.

I am always so excited to be able to read any book by Jill Shalvis. She has the wonderful ability to create a sense of hometown community, filled with characters that are wickedly funny and completely committed to each other. Second Chance Summer is the first book in Jill’s Cedar Ridge series, and I loved everything about it. Aidan and the rest of the Kincaid brothers are snarky, rugged, and sizzling hot. I mean, really, what’s hotter than a bunch of ripped outdoorsy guys that are also smart and that would do anything for the people that they care about? And care about Lily, Aidan does. Still nursing some residual pain from the first time she broke his heart, he’s not sure that he can risk another chance with her. And Lily, having held herself responsible for the losses that have occurred in her life, doesn’t want to let Aidan, or anyone, in. Time, though, and the heart, have a way of healing all things, and these two are soon on a collision course, completely unable to stop the way that they feel for each other.

“Aidan, I’m sorry I was so slow about things. But I meant every word I said to you last night. I want to stay in Cedar Ridge. I want to give us a real shot. I want to love you.”
He nodded, serious now. “For how long?”
“As long as you’ll have me.”
“Every day for the rest of my life,” he said immediately. “Does that work for you?”
Her eyes misted. “Works perfectly.”

I could not have enjoyed this book more, and give Second Chance Summer 5 sexy, swoony, sweep me off my feet stars. I can’t get enough of Jill and her books, and I look forward to each installment in this wonderful new series.

Salvation Teaser 1

Excerpt

Excerpt 

My eyes flutter as soft fingertips drag across my lower back. The faint sound of thumping pounds against my ear as I open my eyes, feeling disoriented. The first thing I see are the hard lines of Robbie’s stomach as his chest rises and falls.

My face buries into the warmth of his embrace and he starts chuckling.

“Is it possible to wake you?” he rumbles.

“Guess so, but I was having the most wonderful dreams.”

“So was I, but mine weren’t while sleeping. Mine are right here in the flesh, laid out on top of me.

When I lift my head to his, my heart melts. The look of devotion on his face is so strong it threatens to crush me.

“How long have I been asleep?”

“About an hour. When I came out of the bathroom, you were passed out.”

“Why aren’t you asleep?”

“Because I have an incredibly sexy, naked woman lying in my arms. It would be a shame to miss this.”

“I’ve slept with you naked before.” Blush creeps up my cheeks.

“Think we both know this is different.”

Emotions bubble inside of me, and I curl into him.

“You mean something special to me, Ember. More than special. I want you to know that.”

Tracey’s Review

Both Ember Walker and Robbie Hayes have seen darkness and despair. Ember is finally at a place in her life where she is experiencing the love denied her during a childhood filled with betrayal and hate. Robbie, still dealing with a loss that left him bereft and changed him completely, is holding tight to his heart. But as the two find their other halves in each other, they can finally begin to heal and move forward.

I am a fan of Ahren Sanders, because I like the complexity that her books offer. In typical Ahren fashion, Salvation is a love story, but not only a love story. It is also a story filled with passion and tenderness, with intrigue and redemption, and I could not put it down. Ember and Robbie spark off each other from their very first meeting, evoking feelings in each other that start the process of renewal for both of them. That Ember is able to be so optimistic, so generally full of light, is pretty amazing, given all that she dealt with while she was growing up. Robbie is a born protector, and it takes no time at all for him to focus on Ember, seeing that part of her that still needs building up and taking care of. Watching them navigate the ups and downs of their relationship had me flipping pages non-stop, because I was so invested in seeing them make it through all of the roadblocks to get to the other side. If I’m still thinking about a book days after finishing, which I definitely was with this one, then I count it a success. Add in the interesting, quirky, and well-written group of supporting characters, and this book had everything that I look for in a good read. I enjoyed it so much that I am eager to go back and read the first two books in this series, and easily give Salvation 4.5 heart-wrenching, romantic, redemptive, sexy, and, oh, so hot stars.

Happy Release + 5 Star Review: One Beautiful Revenge by J. Evans – Wild Rush Series – Book 4

ORBBanner

One Beautiful Revenge
J. Evans
June 23, 2015

A dark, sexy, emotionally charged romance by NYT and USA Today Bestselling author Jessie Evans writing as J. Evans.

 

They say revenge is a dish best served cold…

 

DANNY

 

It’s been a year since I learned the truth about the scandal at Sterling University. Since then I have become a cold bastard with a block of ice and hate where my heart used to be. But when I board the plane to Costa Rica I look like a laid back surfer without a care in the world. I haven’t decided whether to kill Todd, Jeremy, J.D., and Scott while they’re living it up on their senior trip, or just make them wish they were dead, but I know one thing—whatever I decide, no one is going to suspect I’m the one responsible.

 

I have planned the perfect revenge. At least I think I have. Then I see her…

 

SAM

 

They say great minds think alike, but I’m shocked when I return from the beach in Costa Rica to find Danny waiting on my balcony. After all we’ve been through, I was afraid there would be no way back to the easy love we once had. But soon I learn that our shared enemies have made us stronger and our connection more powerful and passionate than it was before.

 

Now we just have to decide—carry through with our dark plans, or get out before it’s too late.

Tracey’s Review

“You know what I’ve been thinking about a lot lately?…Destiny. Fate. Whatever you want to call it. Things that are meant to be…But I think destiny is just the word people give to a decision that couldn’t be made any other way. You know, those moments when the choice you’re making feels so big, so true, that it’s almost like it’s coming from outside of you. But it’s not. It’s just you. Making the right choice, the only choice. So you never have to regret what happens next, no matter how things shake out.”

Samantha Collins has endured things that no person should have to, suffered the loss of her innocence, her self-confidence, and her reputation. Having experienced the reality that truth does not always prevail, she’s doing the only thing she can, making sure that justice is finally served. Danny Cooney is heartbroken, devastated by what Sam, the love of his life, has dealt with. He is determined to show her that she is not alone, and will go to any lengths necessary to let her know.

Oh, Jessie Evans. You write these books, and I think that I can’t love your characters any more than I already did, but you always prove me wrong. The books in Jessie’s Wild Rush series are some of my favorites, and Danny has stolen a big chunk of my heart. I’ve loved him since I met him in the earlier books in the series, loved seeing him grow into the man that he’s become, a man in love, a man unwilling to let the love that has defined him be taken away. And Samantha, the sassy, full-of-life girl that Danny fell in love with, has been in a place that no one should have to go. She’s faced the dark side of life, and emerged a different person.

Doubt flickers in her eyes, but her hands come to rest on my chest, sending heat and hope rushing across my skin. “I can’t make you any promises. I can’t even think about the future until this is over.”
“Then don’t think,” I say, my lips moving closer to hers. “Feel.”

One Beautiful Revenge is a signature Jessie love story, but it is also a reminder of the inequality that occurs all too often in this world, where the victim is painted as the offender, and justice is not served. I so appreciate this powerful story, and beautiful ending to this series, and could not but give it 5+ ‘thought-provoking, heartbreaking, this is an adrenaline rush, oh, my goodness, thank you for the HEA’ stars. This book and the others in the series should be on your TBR; grab them now, and enjoy.

Yours All Along

Loving On The Edge Series Novella

By Roni Loren

8c83f-addtogoodreads

Synopsis

The new Loving on the Edge romance from the New York Times bestselling author of Nothing Between Us turns on the heat between two men who wonder how much they’re willing to risk in the name of love.

Four years after an accident tore their friendship apart, Hunter and Devon are living separate lives. Hunter is now the all-America hero—a congressman’s son and a pro pitcher in Houston preparing to marry his beauty-queen girlfriend. Devon is in Dallas running a new restaurant.

But when Hunter unexpectedly shows up in Devon’s bar, Devon can’t turn him away. Damn it if the man isn’t still gorgeous. But engaged? Hell no. All he’s doing for Devon is bringing back memories of their college-roommate days, and the night their relationship went too far. Turns out Hunter has never forgotten it either.

Now Devon can’t help but be drawn in all over again by the only guy who’s ever gotten close enough to break his heart. Maybe one more night together would be enough for both of them to finally move on. Or maybe one night will change everything…

________________________

Excerpt

Hunter smirked, and they trudged toward the frat house, the wind seeming to get harder and colder as they walked. Where the hell did California get off having this kind of weather anyway?

But the chill only got marginally better when they slipped inside the front door of the house. Hunter’s breath came out in a white puff. “What the fuck?”

Ames, one of the brothers who’d run ahead of him, stepped out of the kitchen, coffee mug in hand. “Looks like we weren’t the only ones pranking tonight. Heat’s been cut off and some jerkoff threw all of our blankets and bedding into the pool.”

“What?” Dev asked, looking up the staircase.

“Maintenance can’t get out here until the morning. I’m heading over to my girlfriend’s apartment. You might want to find a place to crash, too, or plan on sleeping in your coats tonight.” He patted Dev on his way to the door. “Nice work tonight, gentlemen.”

Devon watched Ames go and then both he and Hunter vaulted up the stairs to their room. When they pushed open the door, they both cursed simultaneously.

“Motherfuck.”

“Son of a bitch.”

Devon’s bed had been completely stripped down to the mattress, and a bag of ice from the local gas station had been opened up and spread across it. A note pinned to the headboard read, Sigmas wet the bed.

Hunter’s bed was stripped as well, but apparently they’d run out of ice because instead of the full ice bath, all of Hunter’s underwear were strewn across the bed, and baby powder had been dumped all over them. His note read, Sigmas shit their pants. Hunter stalked over and swept the laundry from his bed, sending a powdery cloud wafting through the room. “Bastards.”

Devon coughed. “At least your bed is mostly dry. And smells baby fresh.”

Hunter looked over at the mess on Devon’s side of the room. “No shit. No way you can sleep on that. Let’s get all of that off of yours so it can dry out. I’ve got extra blankets and pillows in the closet. You can share my bed tonight.”

Devon lifted a brow. “You’re not even going to buy me dinner first? What kind of boy do you think I am?”

Hunter grabbed an ice cube and chucked it at him. “Shut it, Easton. You’re lucky I’m not making you sleep on the petri couch.”

Ugh, no way. Devon shuddered at the thought of putting any exposed skin on the main couch downstairs. Two decades of parties, hookups, and God knows what else on that fabric. “Screw that. I think the floor in the bathroom is cleaner than that couch. But seriously, you sure you’re okay with sharing a bed? I mean, if you’re weirded out by that or you’re worried about what the other guys will say, I’m not going to be offended. I can find somewhere to crash.”

“With one of your on-again, off-again boyfriends?”

“No, I don’t have boyfriends. Too much work. I have acquaintances who I occasionally do dirty things with.”

Hunter sniffed. “No need to go whore yourself out for a bed to sleep in. I’m fine. Just don’t steal my covers, ’cause it’s fucking frigid in here.”

Hunter walked over to the closet and dumped out a laundry bin, lined it with a garbage bag, and then brought it over to Devon’s bed to start moving the ice into it. They worked in silence for a while, just the clink of the ice hitting the plastic container filling the room, but the quiet was anything but calm for Devon. He was going to share a bed with Hunter. They’d roomed together for almost a year. Things were comfortable. Good. Devon admired without crossing any lines. But it was going to be fucking torture sharing that small bed with the warm, hard body of the university’s favorite athlete.

Tracey’s Review

Sometimes you took what life gave you. And sometime you started over by giving life the finger, grabbing what you wanted by the shirt, and making it your own.

As the son of a prominent senator, Hunter Riley is used to being in the public eye, and having to do the ‘right’ thing. Tired of being under his father’s controlling thumb, Hunter has found the freedom to be himself by leaving home for college across the country. Devon Crowe knows how hard it is to hide the person that you really are. At college in California, he’s finally found friends and acceptance, especially from his best friend Hunter. But when lines blur and feelings change, Devon isn’t sure that his safe place will be left standing.

I discovered Roni Loren somewhat recently, and have quickly become a big fan. Her Loving On the Edge series is one that I will always move to the top of my TBR. The stories are original and fresh, with characters that are engaging and interesting, and Roni’s ability to infuse somewhat alternative situations with humor, passion, and sensitivity make for wonderful reads.

I thoroughly enjoyed Yours All Along, Hunter and Devon’s story. First and foremost, these two are best friends, sharing things with each other that they wouldn’t with anyone else. There is true affection between them, and a feeling of belonging that they haven’t necessarily known before. And I have to say this: the romantic scenes in this book are just plain hot. Like, scorching hot. Roni is seriously adept at writing these scenes, and they couldn’t be done any better. Hunter’s curiosity and, for want of a better word, confusion are handled lovingly and in a way that made me love Devon even more.

Everything out of alignment inside Hunter seemed to jerk into place all at once, click, click, click-all the misplaced pieces landing just where they needed, locking into one image that had been burned into his marrow a long time ago. Devon. From the moment he’d met him, even before he understood what it was, it had always been Dev. He’d been his all along. That’s all he needed to know. The rest they could figure out later.

It was a bonus to be able to learn more about these two men before reading Call On Me, the next book in the Loving On the Edge series. I give this book, and the series, 5+ ‘love is love, heartwarming, hot, sexy beyond belief’ stars, and urge you to add these books to your TBR; you will not be disappointed.

Tracey’s Review

Life for Dylan Reeves is pretty darned great. A wildly successful company, a family that he loves, and a wife that is truly his best friend. So what if he’s hiding something bigger than anyone could imagine? Tristan Wilder knows who he is and what he wants. The CEO of one of the biggest Internet companies going, he’s ready to make it even greater by acquiring Secret, the brainchild of Dylan Reeves. And, if he can acquire the man behind it, even better…

Having only read a couple of other books by Kindle Alexander, I was excited to be able to read Secret. The plot sounded great, very much apropos of today’s culture, what with all of the Internet and social media goings-on, as well as an interest in equal rights for all. Secret does have all of these things, but it is so much more. I have read books of the M/M romance genre before, and I can easily say that Secret is one of my favorites so far. I was absolutely in love with both Dylan and Tristan. Dylan is a man for whom family is everything. Having made a promise to himself that he would focus on doing right by his wife and children, he has willingly put his own personal happiness on the back burner for very long time. When Dylan and Tristan meet, all bets are off, though, because Tristan, absolutely comfortable in his own skin, guesses Dylan’s secret, and is bound and determined to help him figure it all out.

To say that the scenes between Dylan and Tristan are scorching is an understatement. These two are nothing short of combustible, and are great foils for each other. Between Tristan’s honesty and self-assurance and Dylan’s commitment and steadfastness, they inspire each other to be the best that they possibly can.

With a great cast of supporting characters and an engaging and entertaining storyline, as well as two wonderful men that show that love is love, no matter what, Secret gets 4.5 ‘wild, hot, did I say blistering, I love an HEA’ stars. If you haven’t read Kindle Alexander, do it now, and get ready to fall in love with her and her books.

MeetTheAuthor
Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next!
I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.

Tracey’s Review

Jackson Hawke is a man bent on revenge. It’s taken years, but he is ready to show the woman that he once loved the consequences of her betrayal. Following a wild night of passion with a mysterious stranger and the suspect death of her twin sister, Hannah North has spent the past six years hidden away from the world. When circumstances arise that force her to offer herself as an escort to an unknown benefactor, she has no idea that her two worlds are about to collide.

Since her arrival on the scene, Lili Valente has quickly proven herself as one of the fresh voices in erotic fiction. Über-alpha men, fast-paced and intriguing plots, and, oh, yes, hotter than hot sex, make her books go-to reads for me. Dark Domination is the first in Lili’s new Bought By the Billionaire series, and it is on fire. Jackson Hawke is as alpha as they come, and, even hellbent on retribution, he’s one of the sexiest leading men I’ve read lately. And Hannah has been through a lot, but she’s willing to do what she has to to save her family, even if it means submitting to an unknown man, and moving far beyond her comfort zone. This book needs to come with a fan and an extra set of panties, because the sexy scenes are seriously molten. And, holy cliffhanger, Batman, Lili knows how to leave us cursing and ready to throw our e-readers. Waiting for Deep Domination (Book 2) will be no easy feat, but I’m all in. In the meantime, Dark Domination gets 5+ ‘hot, hot, did I say hot, give me a fan, because it’s HOT’ stars. Read it. You know you want to.

DarkDomination

 

Hannah’s eyes flew open and her lips parted in a scream, but the enormous man straddling her pressed his hand tighter to her lips, muffling the sound.

She jerked her arms downward, ready to fight him off, only to discover that her wrists were tied to the headboard. Terror rushed through her and her pulse sped, setting her heart to slamming against her ribs as she tugged harder on her bonds. But the rope biting into her wrists assured her she wouldn’t be able to fight her way free.

She was bound tight, powerless to protect herself from whatever this man intended to do to her.

“Relax, princess. It’s just me.” The man leaned down, the water dripping from the end of his nose, landing on Hannah’s cheek, making her flinch. “I came in through the window. I thought I’d make that fantasy you were telling me about a reality.”

Hannah swallowed, her thundering heartbeat slowing a bit as she understood what was happening.

She wasn’t being attacked by an intruder. This man must be Harley’s guy of the moment, and he clearly thought he was straddling her sister. Once she cleared up the misunderstanding, he’d untie her and she could show him to the door. They’d both be embarrassed, no doubt, but she wasn’t about to be raped or murdered.

The realization made her whip-tight muscles sag with relief, an action she realized too late that the man took as an invitation to continue living out Harley’s bondage fantasy.

“I’ve been dying to touch you all day,” he said, his dry palm moving from her mouth to her breast, teasing her nipple through her thin tee shirt, drawing a gasp from her throat.

She expected his touch to feel foreign and unwelcome, but his fingers were gentle, teasing her with a sweetness that made her arch into his warm hand. Electricity shot from her breast to coil between her legs, the sensation intensified by the feel of the rope digging into her wrists as her biceps tightened reflexively in response to the stranger’s confident touch.

“God, the sounds you make drive me crazy,” the man said, pinching her nipple tight enough to make her gasp again.

“No, please, I’m not—” Hannah’s words ended in a moan as he pushed her shirt up and bent lower, tugging her nipple into the warm, wet heat of his mouth. His tongue flicked and teased, flooding her body with pleasure and longing so intense she was panting by the time he transferred his mouth to her other breast, sucking and nibbling at the aroused skin as his big hand slipped down the front of her panties, finding where she was already wet.

Wet, from her sister’s boyfriend’s mouth on her breasts. And now his fingers were sliding into where she ached, making her shudder.

If she didn’t stop this soon, it would be too late. There would be no avoiding tragedy, there would be only shame and the nightmare of confessing to her sister and this innocent man that she’d done something unforgivable.

“Stop, I’m not Harley.” She tensed her thighs only to relax them a second later when she realized her locked muscles were trapping his fingers inside her embarrassingly slick sex.

“No, you’re not,” he said, driving his fingers in and out of her as he trapped her nipple between his teeth and bit down, making her cry out in pain before he soothed away the hurt with his tongue.

“You’re my little slut,” he continued in his deep, sexy rumble of a voice, his fingers still busy between her legs, making the tension coiling low in her body fist even tighter. “And I’m going to fuck you until you scream.”

“My dearest grand-daughter, Listen to your heart, believe in a brighter tomorrow, and always, always leave room for dessert.”

Noelle Olsen has never been impulsive, but when she inherits the old family bed and breakfast, she surprises everyone by quitting her corporate job and starting over in Beachwood Bay: the sleepy coastal town that’s home to old memories, new friends — and the one man she never saw coming.

Ash Callahan isn’t looking for love. He’s built his real-estate empire out of discipline, control, and cool logic — so why does one kiss from a carefree stranger send his world tilting off its axis?

Their connection is undeniable; the chemistry, impossible to ignore. But just as Noelle considers opening her heart again, the pair find themselves facing off over the town’s future — and their own. With so much as stake, will they find a way to bridge the divide, and build a love that’s unforgettable?

Excerpt

 

“Watch out!”

The packed crowd in Jimmy’s bar suddenly shifts, and I go slamming into someone.

“Sorry!” I put my hands out to keep from falling, and a pair of strong arms grip me tightly, keeping me on my feet. “I didn’t see you—”

I look up, and the words fade on my lips. The room disappears—all the noise and jostling crowd blurring into background static.

It’s him.

Ash. The man from the masquerade party. The one who led me on a wild night of adventure—and never called me the next morning. He should be five hundred miles away, but he’s here, in the middle of the crowded bar in Beachwood Bay, looking at me like I’m a ghost.

I know how he feels. It’s impossible, it has to be. But I can feel his hands, gripping me tightly; feel the warm, solid muscle of his body against mine.

I know those hands. I’ve explored that body. There would be no mistaking them, even if I wasn’t gazing into his piercing dark eyes, the ones branded on my memory.

Oh my God.

The moment stretches, electric. Then someone slams into me again, and Ash yanks me back. Suddenly, the world rushes in again.

“What are you…?” I whisper, still not able to believe it. “I mean…”

I fight to collect myself, but before I can form a coherent sentence, Ash grabs my hand and pulls me across the room. He’s moving so fast, I can barely keep up: I hurry after him, through the crowd and down a back hallway.

“Where are we going?” I gulp, my heart racing. “Slow down. Ash!”

He ignores me, pulling me after him, up a flight of stairs, and through another door. We emerge on the rooftop, a flat expanse decorated with string lights and a view of the whole bay. I barely have time to catch my breath before Ash brings his hands to my face, pushes me back against the wall and kisses me so hard I forget my own name.

Yes.

Just like before, the chemical reaction is instant: a flare of heat surging through me, so bright it blots the world, like staring straight into the sun. I part my lips, greedy for the taste of him, loving the sensual caress of his tongue as he slides it deep into my mouth.

Ash groans against me, and I arch up, wrapping my arms around his neck to pull him closer. He’s gripping me so tightly, my body is crushed against him; my back hard against the wall. He threads the fingers on one hand roughly through my hair, pinning me in place as his mouth continues its devastating exploration.

There’s no way to explain it, how my body responds to his touch. Touch-paper to a flame; igniting like never before. I run my hands through his dark hair, slide across the muscular contours of his back, gripping at his shirt and kissing him with everything I have. I can’t think, I can’t breathe, I just fall deeper into the kiss, our passion obliterating every last thought from my mind.

It’s a rush of glitter in my veins, of soaring fever and a low, aching need. Desire consumes me, hot and demanding, until suddenly, Ash wrenches free.

I gasp for air, sinking back against the wall. My legs go weak as his eyes rake over me, blazing darkly with lust. “What are you doing here?” he whispers harshly.

“I…” I can’t find the words, I’m still reeling with shock—and desire.

A shadow crosses his face. He shakes his head, looking dazed. “No,” he mutters, cutting me off. “This isn’t happening.” Before I can say another word, he turns and strides away from me, slamming the exit door with a crash. I’m left alone on the rooftop with nothing but the sound of my own beating heart.

 5StarSunTracey’s Review
“How about you and I make a deal?…Just for tonight, the real world doesn’t exist. It’s just me and you, and whatever happens next.”Ash Callahan is always in control. Since having to step in as the head of his family at a young age, he has made it his business to keep everything professional, nice and tidy, with no time for letting things get personal. Noelle Olsen is a free spirit wrapped in a businesslike shell. Following her dream of being a lawyer, she should be loving the life she’s created, but the rat-race is beginning to chafe. Meeting Ash may be just the thing to open her eyes…I am a serious fan of Melody Grace and her Beachwood Bay series. I love every single character, every single story, every single book. I was super-excited when I read the blurb for Ash’s story, and couldn’t wait to get my hands on the book when it became available. From the first time he was mentioned in Unrequited/Uninhibited, Dex’s and Alicia’s story, I wanted to know more about him. Ash has had to give up so much to make sure that his siblings were taken care of. His whole business empire is a testament to his commitment to providing for those that he loves, but, in putting them first, he has closed himself off. Meeting Noelle, and giving in to the spontaneity of their first night together, has pretty much thrown him for a loop.

“I can’t…I can’t be that guy you want. Spontaneous and thrill-seeking. I know I made you believe it’s who I really am, but that night, it wasn’t me. I was playing pretend with you, and it wouldn’t have been fair to keep pretending.”

I love Noelle. She has this zest for life that is completely at odds with her buttoned-down job. I was cheering for her to shake off the doubts that were keeping her tied down in a career that she did not love, and step out into the unknown. She knows that there is more to life, more to what is going on between Ash and her, and she’s willing to grab it with both hands.

“I don’t want to fight this…I’m finished with doing what I’m supposed to, what I think is the sensible thing. We both know there’s something real here between us. So now it’s your turn to choose…Are you going to keep lying to yourself, or will you trust your instincts?”

Knowing that Unforgettable is the last in the Beachwood Bay series is bittersweet. It’s hard to say goodbye to characters that feel like one big extended family, and to a place that feels so much like home. The epilogue at the end of this book makes all the difference for me, because I am unabashedly a lover of the HEA. Being able to see how things wrap up for each of the couples in the series is just the perfect way to end things. While I will miss visiting Beachwood Bay and all of the folks that I have come to know and love, I can say that Unforgettable is just that, and I happily give it 5+ ‘romantic, sexy, yes, the love scenes are super-hot, happily-ever-after’ stars. Add this series to your TBR, and enjoy.

Moonlight on nightengale way

Moonlight On Nightengale Way

Dublin Street Series

By Samantha Young

Synopsis

Logan from Echoes of Scotland Street is back with his own smoldering story, as the New York Times bestselling On Dublin Street series returns…

Logan spent two years paying for the mistakes he made. Now, he’s ready to start over. He has a great apartment, a good job, and plenty of women to distract him from his past. And one woman who is driving him to distraction…

Grace escaped her manipulative family by moving to a new city. Her new life, made to suit her own needs, is almost perfect. All she needs to do is find her Mr. Right—or at least figure out a way to ignore her irresistible yet annoying womanizer of a neighbor.

Grace is determined to have nothing to do with Logan until a life-changing surprise slowly begins turning the wild heartbreaker into exactly the kind of strong, stable man she’s been searching for. Only just when she begins to give into his charms, her own messy past threatens to derail everything they’ve worked to build…

Tracey’s Review

Moonlight On Nightingale Way is the last book in Samantha Young’s beloved On Dublin Street series, and she really does go out with a bang. Logan MacLeod and Grace Farquhar get off to a prickly start, due mostly to a shared bedroom wall and her prickly response to his manwhoring ways. But it’s not long before friendship, then more, is in the air as life reveals surprises that bring them closer together.

I will happily read anything by Samantha. I am so in love with all the characters that we have come to know and love in this series. Diving into one of these books is like reconnecting with old friends, and, because Samantha writes about these people like they’re part of our own tribe, it really is so much fun to check in and see how what’s new with them. Not only do we meet Logan, Grace, and her friends, but the whole gang is here and very involved in all the goings-on. As well, Logan’s daughter Maia is a joy. Part über-responsible young woman, part typical teenaged girl, she is easy to love, and really adds to the story. Exploring complicated family dynamics and showing that real family is often chosen rather than dictated by birth, Samantha has written a story both romantic and poignant, and I loved every single page.

I am sad to see the end of the Dublin Street gang, but look very forward to what comes next from Samantha. With 5 ‘snarky, feel-good, so sexy I can’t stand it’ stars, Moonlight On Nightingale Way is a must-read, and you should add it to your TBR now.

 Today I’d eaten lunch in a closed bathroom stall at school to avoid the stares. And instead I got to listen to Mandy Barton telling two other girls that she’d slept with Levi last night to comfort him over what his slutty girlfriend had done to him. They’d speculated about who the father of my child was, eventually deciding on Mr. Schultz, a teacher and coach at my school whom I’d never even spoken to. I was on the outskirts of our small city, walking past a rusted, abandoned factory, when a car slowed to a stop nearby. I turned to see a marked police car. A familiar sick taste rose in my throat. My dad was giving me a puzzled glance from a rolled down window, his elbow resting on the door. “Ivy, what are you doing out here? It’s the dead of winter and you’re miles from home.” “What are you doing here? Are you following me?” My icy tone was challenging. What was there to be afraid of now? He’d stolen the vulnerable, trusting part of me. He’d shown me that there was no one in my life I could count on. “I was on patrol and I saw you,” he said, glaring at me. “Get in the car and I’ll drive you home. We need to talk.” “Talk? Is that code?” I spat out bitterly. His face was a mix of contrition and anger. “Ivy. Let’s not do this. Get in the car.” “No.” “What’s this I hear about you being pregnant? Is it true?” A powerful wave of nausea swept through me. He didn’t deserve to know, and he certainly didn’t deserve to ask me about it.

Tracey’s Review

Having been warned beforehand that this book contains emotional triggers, I have to say that I was still unprepared for just what those might be. Brenda Rothert has managed to tackle a subject that is uncomfortable at best, unthinkable in actuality, with grace and sensitivity.

Ivy Gleason may well be one of the strongest heroines that I have ever had the opportunity to read. She has suffered loss of the greatest degree, and betrayal by those that should have only had her best interest at heart. The decisions that she makes are more mature and selfless than I could possibly imagine, given the circumstances that she’s endured. And the fact that she is able to love so openly and to trust again is nothing short of inspirational. Brenda’s ability to create a character that touched me so personally is a true testament to her craft.

And Reed, wonderful Reed. His love of Ivy, and his acceptance of her once he fully understands the truth of all that she has experienced, is the stuff that romantic heroes are made of. Their love story is gentle and takes time to mature, but is nonetheless sexy and heated.

Deep Down is the first in Brenda’s new Lockhart Brothers series, and I look forward to reading about all of the brothers. In the meantime, this is a 4.5-star emotional, heartbreaking, uplifting read, and I couldn’t recommend it any more highly.

Destroyed

Lost In Oblivion Series – Book 3

By Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott

Synopsis

Book 3 in the NEW ADULT rockstar series, LOST IN OBLIVION

Only one woman has ever refused him…and she’s the only one he wants.
Now that he’s successful beyond his wildest dreams with his band Oblivion, Simon Kagan is happy to enjoy his all-access pass to the groupie train. After getting more fists in the ribs than hugs growing up, he discovers having a warm female in his bed is an easy way to escape the loneliness.

Until Margo.

From the moment the classy, buttoned up violinist entered his sphere, he knew she was different. After one amazing night in the studio, he feels like he’s finally connected with someone on a deeper level–only to have her walk away without a backward glance.

As a member of the Boston Symphony orchestra, Margo Reece’s life revolves around the regimented structure of a second chair violinist. But Simon’s uncanny ability to crawl into a song and create a smoky, sin-filled experience translated into the hottest night of her life. She walked away afterward because that’s what she was supposed to do.

And Margo always does what she’s supposed to.

Until Simon.

When she’s called on again to blend her sound with Oblivion’s, she has to make the decision to play it safe or let her wild side free.

*** Unlike all of the other Oblivion books, this one has a cliffhanger, due to upcoming events that will be resolved – mostly – in Consumed. ***

Tracey’s Review

Simon Kagan, lead singer of the group Oblivion, is living the life. As the band rockets to fame, he’s loving life in the limelight and all that it brings. The one bump? Margo Reece, the girl that got away. Margo, oldest daughter of a proper New England family, has always done the right thing. Until Simon, that is, and an encounter that neither one can forget. Recently dismissed from her position with the Boston Philharmonic, she finds herself working with Simon and the rest of the band, and with the way that the sparks fly between these two, things are about to get very hot.

I am an absolute sucker for books about hot rockers, and Taryn Elliot and Cari Quinn do these like nobody’s business. The Lost In Oblivion series has all the things that are good with this trope, and are, like the rest of their books, some of my favorites. Simon and Margo seem like an unlikely pair, with all of the differences between them, but the heat that they generate is off the charts. I mean, seriously combustible. And the more time that they spend together, the more the inevitable changes start to creep in, and, before you know it, I’m over here swooning.

“But everything felt bigger here in this tiny space. As if she couldn’t get away from him, or more importantly that she didn’t want to.

She squeezed his fingers. “Simon, I need…”

“You need what?”

She was so empty.

The thought of telling him that was so huge and so scary that she shut it down.

She didn’t own him. Had never owned him, she was only borrowing.

“I’m yours.”

Her eyes flew open and he gazed at her without fear and without a lick of hesitancy.

“I’ve always been yours, Violin Girl. I’ve just been hoping you would take me.”

I was in a puddle. Just done. These ladies know just how to craft words, to create a story that will create no small amount of feels, and keep me thinking about it long after.

As they are wont to do, Taryn and Cari have left us with one heck of a cliffhanger, and August seems much too far away for the next chapter for Simon, Margo, and the rest of the band. I happily give Destroyed 5+ ‘oh, my gosh, I am SO happy, but wait, oh, no you didn’t’ stars, and urge you to add it and the rest of the Lost In Oblivion books to your TBR. They’re a wild and sexy ride that you definitely don’t want to miss.

The Lost In Oblivion Series

913eVxUHr3L._SL1500_Rocked – Book 1

Love definitely wasn’t on the setlist.

Opening for their idols on their first tour, Oblivion is living the dream. Mostly. Frustrated at being shoved out of his mediator role by their new manager, Deacon McCoy loses himself in brutal workouts. He only comes up for air long enough to refuel—and to tease the deliciously cute chef who makes him crave a lot more than what she’s offering on her serving plate.

As the child of roadie parents, Harper Pruitt has heard every pickup line twice. To her, musicians are one step above the scraps on her cutting board. All she wants is to get enough experience to run her own catering company, but Deacon and his bottomless stomach are too tempting to resist. He’s far from the typical rock star and before long, she finds herself experimenting with him, inside and out of the kitchen.

Apron – and panties – optional.

When Harper sees that Deacon’s dream band with his best friends may be turning into a nightmare, she can’t walk away. Deacon’s so much more than just a peacemaker and the man behind the bass. But she has her own dreams to chase…even if she’s starting to think what she’s building with him might be the biggest one of all.

You met Deacon McCoy in SEDUCED, now you can watch just how far a big man can fall.

91G5q0jCkiL._SL1500_Twisted – Book 2

He’s always saved her. Now she’s going to return the favor…

Gray Duffy never thought he’d end up as the co-lead guitarist of Oblivion, one of the hottest rock bands in the country. Even better? He’s sharing the experience with his best friend, Jazz. Since the day she’d showed up as his family’s new foster kid, Gray has protected her. Loved her. And not just platonically either. After all these years of wanting her in his bed, he still doesn’t know what it would be like to have her mouth on his.

Except for that one time. The time he’d shared her with Nick. The best worst night of his life.

Now they’re living their dream. They’re making music together and spending every waking moment trapped in tight quarters. With success at their fingertips, the time is right for him to finally make his move toward the woman he needs.

He just never figured he would lose control. Or that she would find out.

They’ve loved each other through everything. But what if this time love just isn’t enough?
