The Boy Next Door

A Stand Alone Off Limits Novel

By Ella James

Buy: Amazon

***

Synopsis

The boy next door. That’s what he was. Dash Frasier—my hero from the day we met, when I was six and he was nine. His sister was my best friend, the three of us one happy crew. Then one sweaty summer night changed everything.

No one understood me like Dash. No one made me feel so loved. That’s why, when he skipped town, it wrecked me.

Now I’m older. Wiser. I’ve just snagged my dream job, writing at a film studio. The lead animator on my project? You guessed it.

He’s not the boy next door. Not anymore.

I’m guarding my heart this time.

But Dash has secrets that could break us both.

Michel’s Review

Ella James has once again delivered a delightful and intriguing romance. The Boy Next Door has everything readers look for in a romance novel. From the childhood connection to the difficulties in an adult world, true love prevails. The past and the present collide and when all the truths are revealed it’s an explosive and emotional ending.

Amelia and Dash were friends since she was a six year old, scared little girl. When he saved her from drowning in a pool, he became her hero for life. Amelia worshipped the ground Dash walked on even though he was three years older. Their lives were on very different tracks but their friendship was solid until the day Dash left for college. He broke all contact and erased her from his life. One fateful summer visit home solidified their estranged relationship and ended it completely.

Six years later they are thrown in each other’s paths once again. She is interning for a film studio and Dash is the head animator on the project she was assigned to. She can’t forget his betrayal. He can’t forget the sweet girl he turned his back on. She can’t resist Dash anymore today than she could when she was a girl. He can’t stay away from the only girl who sparked his heart.

When the truths are finally revealed, they are explosive.

Ella James once again worked her magic by delivering a sexy romance loaded with secrets and intrigue.

New Release + Excerpt + Review: Hidden Depths by Brenda Rothert

Posted on 04/27/2017 by cafemamanc7

HIDDEN DEPTH by Brenda Rothert is LIVE!

BLURB:

I had it all.

Breaking into the entertainment business as a teenager wasn’t easy. I spent years of my childhood traveling, auditioning and hoping my big break would come. And when I did, I rose to a level I never imagined.

Elle Tyler: model, singer and actress. I couldn’t go anywhere without security anymore. It was everything I ever wanted and more – fame, fortune and worldwide recognition. At age twenty-four, I was living a dream.

But a single act of violence shattered my fairytale existence. In a matter of seconds, all the goodness in me was ripped to shreds. Overnight, the people around me dropped away, moving on to find the next big thing. I gave up on myself, becoming a woman so dark and forlorn I no longer recognized myself.

But the stranger who saved me that day, Justin Lockhart, never gave up on me. He still saw light through my darkness. And as we grew closer, I started to see it, too. And I also started to see that before that terrible day, maybe I didn’t really have it all. Maybe I was always missing the only thing that really matters.

EXCERPT:

Elle

I THOUGHT I HAD wrapped my arms around the world. Fortune and fame are the ultimate dream, right? But when an act of violence shattered all my notions, I was forced to face painful truths. It wasn’t until I’d lost so much that I found the one thing that really matters— and the place that made anything seem possible.

“IT’S PERFECT,” MY ASSISTANT Chloe says, grinning proudly as she tucks a loose strand of my hair into the floppy beach hat.

“I’m not sure I’d use that word,” I say, giving her a skeptical look.

“Don’t be hatin’ on the hat. It’s a perfect disguise hat.”

“It’s a beach hat, and it’s February in St. Louis. How is this not going to draw attention?”

She lowers her brows and tries to fold the sides of the hat down. “You think it’s easy making a redhead incognito? A redhead who happens to have one of the most recognizable faces in the world?”

I roll my eyes at that. “Stop. You don’t need to kiss my ass.”

“I know. But I saw a BuzzFeed article this morning about the most recognizable faces in the world, and you were one of them.”

My lips part with surprise. “Really?”

She nods and then stands back to eye the bright pink hat. “With the sunglasses, I think we’ll be ready.”

When she breaks out a pair of black sunglasses with round lenses large enough to hide half my face, I roll my eyes. “Those are the very definition of conspicuous.”

“Hey,” she says defensively. “I did the best I could. That little souvenir shop was the only place I could find with hats.”

“When I sent you out to pick up something, I was thinking like . . . a hoodie. Not Jackie O doing a flamingo impression.”

“It’s a short trip from the room out to our bus. Just keep your head down.”

There’s a knock on the door to my suite, and when Chloe opens it, my bodyguard Andre walks in. “Ready, Elle?”

“Yeah, yeah,” I mutter, noticing his smirk. “Laugh it up.”

“It’s just that it’s sort of a . . . loud disguise.”

Andre kind of looks like The Rock, if The Rock had gotten his nose broken lots of times in fights, and if he were covered in tattoos. Andre’s usually pretty quiet, and since he’s only been my bodyguard for a few months, we’re still adjusting to each other. I’m not quite comfortable firing off a comeback at him yet.

“I’ll give you that,” I say with a sigh.

“I’ll carry that,” he offers, reaching for the bag thrown over my

shoulder.

“Thanks.” I hand it over, wincing a little.

“How’s the shoulder?” he asks, his brows lowering with concern.

I give him a half shrug. “It’s sore.”

At my concert last night, I hurt my shoulder while dancing. I just twisted it in a funny way on accident, and by the end of the performance, it was throbbing. The doctor who travels with me on tour said I have to go to the hospital for tests when we get to Chicago later today. I’m not looking forward to that, and I’m also not canceling the Chicago show if he suggests it.

“You’ll be okay,” Andre says. “You’re only twenty-four, so your body heals fast.”

“How old are you?” I ask him.

“How old do you think I am?”

I can’t believe we haven’t had this conversation yet. I squint as I look him over— laugh lines, grayish temples, and all.

“Thirty-five?”

“Thirty-eight,” he says, opening the door for Chloe and me.

Chloe is wheeling a giant suitcase behind her, and Andre insists on taking it, as well as the bag she has slung over her shoulder.

“The other bus left half an hour ago,” she says. “Ours is waiting.”

I nod, my mind already moving on to Chicago. It’s one of my favorite places to perform. My backup dancers and other crew members ride on another bus, because I like to decompress when I’m on the road. It’ll just be me, Chloe, Andre, and our driver on the main bus.

I’ve come a long way from my days traveling between county fairs to perform in talent shows. At the time, I didn’t even realize how rigorous a schedule it was. Now I think back and wonder if my parents were confident I’d get a break, or if they thought they might be sacrificing everything only for me never to make it.

Tracey’s Review

I’ve been a Brenda Rothert fan for ages, and have read and enjoyed the earlier books in her Lockhart Brothers series. I knew that there was one more Lockhart brother to get to know a little bit better, but thought for sure that his story couldn’t top the others. I mean, Brenda handled some very touchy subjects with grace, passion, and redemption there, and how do you match that? Well, if you’re Brenda, you write HIDDEN DEPTH, that’s how.

I fell in love with Elle and Justin from the very beginning of their story. Beyond the horror, the loss, and the life changes that both had to endure, there was acceptance, compassion, friendship, and a sense of being home. Elle and Justin are two very special people, and their ability to just be themselves and be there for each other made my heart happy.

Is it crazy to think that a man from a small town and a wildly famous entertainer might just be able to find each other in this world and make a go of it? The romantic in me says heck, no, and cheered Justin and Elle on from beginning to end. I could not have been happier with their journey, but I am always happy to see some ‘down the road’ details, so, Brenda, if you decide to visit Lovely, MO, for some more Lockhart family time, I’m totally down with it.

HIDDEN DEPTH is an endearing, sexy, uplifting 4.5-star read for me, and joins the other books in this series in sharing some of my favorite of Brenda’s characters. I highly recommend making a trip to Lovely and getting to know the Lockart family. It’s a trip worth taking.

Tracey’s Review

“What’s so special about me?”
He stared at me for a moment. “You’re different.”
Not beautiful or special of celestial. Different.
“Thanks. I think.”

Selah Elmore has a life that she loves. Confident and successful, she knows what works for her, and is happy living the way that she does. When an international trip lands her in the passing company of a a man that she just can’t forget, Selah chalks it up to another missed connection. But fate, kismet, the relationship goddess, call her what you will, that sneaky lady, has other plans, and things are about to get very interesting.

Always playful, passionate, and filled with characters that I adore, author Daisy Prescott’s books are some of my favorites. WANDERLUST, the third book in Daisy’s Modern Love Story series has all of these things in spades, and I just absolutely loved the heck out of it. Living up to its name, WANDERLUST takes Selah from her home in Portland, OR, to Amsterdam to Ghana, and there is a world of adventure on each stop.

One of my favorite parts of reading Daisy’s books is the snappy back-and-forth between characters. All of them are smart, snarky, and lovable, and keep me endlessly entertained with their conversations, both internal and between each other. Selah, a woman of a certain age, is in charge of her life, and she likes it that way. But Kai is, I think, just what she needs to round things out. He is handsome, smart, and a world traveler, and he may be a few years young, but that’s not a problem at all, because he can keep up with her in every way.

Like in all of Daisy’s books, characters from earlier reads make appearances, and that’s something that I really enjoy, because it makes the experience more like a real group of friends that I can spend time with. And, like with all of Daisy’s books, I found myself reminiscing about the other people, and their stories, and it felt a little bit like coming home.

WANDERLUST is a romantic, sexy, smart, epic-feeling read, and I really enjoyed it very much. It’s an easy 4.5 stars for me, and one that I can see going back to more than once, because it’s a total feel-good experience. This, and all of Daisy’s other books (yep, you read that right, ALL of Daisy’s other books)? Get them, grab your favorite beverage and maybe a pain au chocolat, and enjoy. They are a pleasure.

AUTHOR NOTE

Hi lovely readers,

The first thing you’re probably asking is if this is a new book. It’s not. It’s the same book but with a new title and cover as Missionary Position.

Why the change?

While the Missionary Position title works for Selah’s love story (and makes us both giggle), it might give readers the wrong idea. Wanderlust is one of my favorite words and better captures the romance between Kai and Selah set on three continents. Because of the sexual implications of the title, MP keeps being put in the erotica dungeon despite being more of a rom com (again, giggles about this from both Selah and me).

Plus, Missionary Position is also the title of a Mother Teresa biography, and well, that’s kind of awkward.

After stewing about this for a few years, I decided to rebrand the book with a new look and title in hopes more people will discover this wonderful book. It’s still one of my favorites. Wanderlust is a love story between an older woman and a younger man set on the West African coast, full of humor and unexpected adventures.

Thanks for reading!

Release Date: March 9th

Mateo

Emerson’s a sexy mom of three.

And if you call her a MILF, I’ll kick your a**.

She’s got a sex “to do” list, and I’m just the man to help her check some things off.

But this isn’t my story. It’s hers.

Unfortunately for me, her story involves an ex-husband, a kid that hates me, and a pretty nice shot to my nuts. She’s a woman who thinks too much, always with a plan, a list, but I’ve got a list of my own.

Emerson

Mateo likes to tease me that I have lists for my lists. But I didn’t hear him complaining when he stumbled upon my Sex Bucket List.

This is the story of how I brushed the cobwebs off my sex life, put myself back onto my list and not only fell in love with a younger man, but with myself, as well.

Tracey’s Review

I’ve got grocery lists, Christmas lists, to-do lists, even honey-do lists — minus the honey. I’m the queen of list making. It helps me keep some semblance or order in my life. Those of you with kids and a job and countless after-school activities know what I’m talking about. So why not a sex bucket list?

I will admit going in that the main thing that called to me about THE SEX BUCKET LIST by author Prescott Lane was the notion of a romance about a woman that was actually close to my age. Don’t get me wrong, I love the books about young love, the NA reads, all of it, but it’s rare to find a book about a woman of a certain age, and I was interested to see what Prescott would do with it.

I can honestly say that THE SEX BUCKET LIST was all that I hoped for, and more. Now, don’t be fooled by the title. Yes, Emerson, a divorced woman in her 40’s with three kids, did write said bucket list during a girls’ night out. But this list is about more than just a way to try new things and spice up her life. Emerson’s bucket list becomes a way to find herself again, a way to appreciate herself just the way that she is, and to understand that others will, too.

Emerson has so much to offer, but her sense of womanhood has gotten buried beneath a failed marriage, the needs of her three children, and a successful career. Seeing her rediscover her sense of self as a desirable woman is priceless, because I believe that so many women go through the same thing. Prescott has really done a fine job of capturing what it feels like to look in the mirror and wonder who the woman looking back really is, and how in the world her needs got lost in the shuffle.

Emerson’s ex-husband, Ryan, and her new flame, Mateo, are just really poles apart. Emerson’s relationship with Ryan is a good one, at least on the surface. As her husband of many years and the father of her children, he and Emerson are at a place where they’re friendly and co-parenting successfully. I’m going to just say this: I did not like him at all. I felt like he was selfish and, while he’s a good father to their kids, his interactions with Emerson, along with her reminiscences about their marriage, make it pretty clear that he’s the biggest reason that she needs to find herself again.

Mateo, though, oh, my goodness. Where are all the Mateos in the real world? Straightforward, honest, and, phew, passionate, he’s all of these things. He happily, and without reservation, gives Emerson the help that she needs working her way through her list, and does it all simply because he cares about her and wants her to be happy and free. Talk about night and day. And, when the big issues come up, Mateo is all about Emerson and her happiness, while Ryan is still mainly invested in himself.

I’m a big fan of books heavy on relationships with friends and family, and Emerson’s got such a great bunch of both. Her kids, her mother, her brother, and her ladies, all give Emerson the support that she needs, and make it a happier, if sometimes crazier, ride.

Bottom line? THE SEX BUCKET LIST is an easy 4.5-stars for me. I thoroughly enjoyed every bit of this gem of a book, and look forward to reading more from Prescott in the future.

Release Blitz + Excerpt + Review: Catching Carly by Emma Hart – Barley Cross Series – Book 2

Posted on 03/07/2017 by shellbellereads

My name is Carly Porter… And I’m really good at bad decisions.

How do I know this, exactly? Well, not including the time I accidentally bleached my eyebrows or sprained my ankle changing a lightbulb…

I had sex with my best friend’s brother.

Zeke Elliott has been a thorn in my side for eleven years. A very sexy, very tempting, very freaking annoying one. With big…hands.

And now my clitoris has a crush on the guy.

Seriously. I can’t look at him without my vagina performing accidental kegels. Which would be fine, but he’s Cain’s brother. I hate him. He’s off limits, right?

Right.

AMAZON US | AMAZON UK | AMAZON AU | AMAZON CA | B&N | iBooks

I close my eyes and slip one leg out of the window.

Everybody can see my panties.

Not that anyone is here, but I just know everybody can.

This is horrible. And it hurts.

I’m never dating again.

I’m going to buy fifty cats. They’ll never make me climb out of a bathroom window.

“You’re looking at my underwear, aren’t you?” I ask, unfortunately pausing with my legs wide open.

“No.”

“Liar.”

“It’s nice underwear.”

“Oh god.” I swing my other leg down a little too quick.

My dress rides up.

Right over my ass.

And my feet can’t reach the crates.

Zeke chuckles.

“Help me, you pig!”

More laughter.

“I’m gonna be stuck here forever. Oh my god.”

The bathroom door opens.

Can this get any worse?

A fifty-something woman I don’t recognize freezes in the middle of the restroom.

I smile sweetly.

She eyes me suspiciously before shuffling into a cubicle.

“Get me down!” I hiss, kicking my legs. “Now, Ezekiel!”

Something scrapes and knocks together.

“Still so hot when you call me that. Especially when your ass is out.” Thud. “All right, sweetcheeks. I’ve got you.”

“Sweetcheeks? What is wrong with you?”

“Look, you can hang there all night bitchin’ at me if you want, but it’s not my bare ass in the middle of the alley. As much as I’m enjoying the view.”

“Oh my god,” I groan. “You swear you’ll catch me?”

“I swear.” His fingertips brush against my bare legs.

My shudder is disguised by the trembling of my arms as I lower myself down.

Zeke’s fingers trail up the outsides of my thighs until he grasps my waist. “Let go.”

I freeze, tensing up.

“Carly, let go. I have hold of you. I won’t drop you.”

Still tensed, I let go of the window ledge.

My life flashes before my eyes. Seriously. I see everything from my first memory to the moment I let go of the ledge and I squeal because I’m going to die and I know that he’s going to drop me and—

Zeke’s strong grip solidifies when he wraps his arm around my waist and holds me against him. “There,” he says calmly into my ear. “You dropped about six inches. You’re hardly cliff-diving.”

I open my eyes and look down at where his arm is pressed across my stomach. His grip is tight, and the popping veins on his forearm trace tantalizing lines across his skin.

And my dress is still around my hips.

I reach down and tug the material over my upper thighs. “Thank you.”

“You’re welcome.” He releases me, and when he jumps down from the crates, I see a flash of his cocky grin. “Nice thong.”

That explains the grin.

I clear my throat. “Thank you. It took me an hour to pick.”

“From your drawer?”

“No. From Victoria Secret. Have you seen how many panties are on that website?”

Zeke holds his hands out for me to take. “Oh, yeah. I’m wearing a pair right now.”

My lips curve slowly as I step down onto the ground. “Interesting. What type? Brief? Thong? Boy short? V-string?”

He blinks at me when I put my shoes on. “Why do you need so many different types? It’d be much easier if you just wore none at all.”

Tracey’s Review

Carly Porter has been besties with Brooke Barker and Cain Elliot for years. But, Zeke, Cain’s big brother? Not so much. More like frenemies, with the emphasis on enemies. Except for that one time, the time that Carly and Zeke, well, you know…

I was ready for CATCHING CARLY the minute that I finished BEING BROOKE. I fell in love with Brooke, Carly, and their crazy families from the small town of Barley Cross, GA, and wanted more ASAP. Well, thank you, Emma Hart, for feeding my addiction, and for doing so with such a sexy, lively, laugh-out-loud book. I couldn’t have pictured a more perfect story for Carly and Zeke, and I loved every single word.

Trying to keep the ‘hook-up that never happened’ firmly in the past and convince herself and everyone else that she can’t stand Zeke is a lot of work. Mostly because, whenever the two of them are in the same vicinity, it’s like spark central. Seriously, the chemistry between these two is in-your-face hot, and a lot obvious. And, I mean, really, why fight it? When you find someone that has your number the way that Zeke has Carly’s, it’s all over anyway. If they can weather the online dating hell, crazy senior citizen parties, and persistent exes, and still come out wanting to spend time together, it’s meant to be.

Emma’s sassy snarky dialogue and quirky and one-of-a-kind characters are on point here, as usual. If a book has me laughing so hard that family members come running to see what’s so funny, it’s a winner, and CATCHING CARLY had me laughing a lot. And, let’s not forget the steam factor. Emma’s got that down to a science, and she did not hold back. I think that I may have mentioned that the connection between Carly and Zeke is pretty combustible? Well, yeah, so keep that fan handy, because you’re going to need it…

As expected, CATCHING CARLY is 4.5 stars’ worth of love, laughter, and HEA that I would not hesitate to recommend to other readers. I’m looking forward to seeing more of Barley Cross and the people that live there from Emma, because these characters are just wonderful.

EXCERPT:

“Have you flown before, Kat?”

“No.” I swallow hard and tighten my hands into fists.

“Okay, take a deep breath,” he says. He’s not touching me, which is good because I’d have to break his nose, and this is already stressful enough. But his voice is soothing. “Good. Take another one. Miss, can we get a bottle of water, please?”

I just keep breathing. The flight attendant returns with a little baby bottle of water, which Mac uncaps and holds out for me.

“Take a drink of this. Just a small sip.” I comply, the cold water feeling good on my throat. I feel ridiculous. This flight is full of people who are not having panic attacks.

“I’m sorry,” I whisper. “This is my biggest fear.”

“I can tell,” he says gently, and I raise my gaze to meet his. He’s a handsome guy, his short hair styled nicely, his jaw firm, eyes direct. He’s tall, with long arms and legs and a lean body. “How are you feeling?

“Better,” I reply, surprised to find it true. “The water helped. Thank you.”

“No problem. Are you going to Napa Valley on vacation?”

“Work,” I reply, shaking my head. “I’m attending a conference.”

“So you’re a wine enthusiast then?”

“You could say that,” I reply with a smile. “I own a wine bar in Portland.”

His eyes narrow for just a moment. “Really? Which one?”

“The one inside Seduction.”
“I’ve heard great things about that place.”

I smile widely now, intensely proud of the restaurant that my four friends and I have built from the ground up. Seduction is our baby, our pride and joy.

“That’s nice to hear,” I reply. “You’ve never been?”

“Not yet, but I’ll make a point to go the next time I’m in the area.”

So he doesn’t live in Portland.

Bummer. Mac is one guy I wouldn’t mind running into again.

_______________________

Tracey’s Review

What happens in Napa, stays in Napa…

Famous last words, right? Katrina Meyers, bartender extraordinaire and part-owner of Seduction, one of Portland’s hottest up-and-coming restaurants, hates flying. Loathes and is scared to death would be a more accurate description, but you get the picture. So, the travel gods must have been smiling on her when they placed her right next to Mac MacKenzie on that flight to Napa. Who would have believed that both Kat and Mac would both be headed to the same wine conference? Or that things would get so H.O.T. (did you hear the sizzle, guys?) between them that they couldn’t stay away from each other? And, as much as Kat and Mac agree to keep their time together a lovely respite from their real lives, well, you know how fickle Fate can be…

Kristen Proby’s FUSION series has quickly become one of my favorites. This group of ladies are strong, sassy, and in charge of their lives. Kat is absolutely wonderful, the kind of take-no-prisoners woman that I want to be when I grow up. Except for that pesky fear of flying thing, she’s living life on her terms, happily part of the FUSION family, and loving every minute of it. As far as Kat is concerned, her “sexcation” with Mac was a fun time, but she’s tucked that memory away, and is moving on with her life in Portland.

Mac doesn’t do relationships. Sure, he enjoys women, he just isn’t looking for the happily ever after. But, here’s the thing: Kat rocked Mac’s world, and he can’t get her out of his mind. So, when he has the chance to see her again, he’s not wasting any time. And, here’s another thing: love always happens when you least expect it, and it isn’t long before he realizes that Kat means more to him than he’d thought possible.

I love romances with something more mixed in, and Kristen has done a nice job of adding some intrigue and some very real-life issues to the storyline of BLUSH FOR ME. This, along with characters that I love more each time I see them, a funky restaurant that I’d love to visit, and plenty of heartfelt, steamy, passion made this an easy 4.5-star read for me. And, that lead-in, though! Kristen’s laid a trail of breadcrumbs that just scream, But, wait, there’s more!. I sense some serious sparks on the horizon between Riley and a certain t.v. exec in THE BEAUTY OF US, and I cannot wait to see what goes down. So don’t wait, guys, grab BLUSH FOR ME, and, if you haven’t read them, the first two books in this delicious series, because things are getting hot in Portland.

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…

BaddASS

BADD Brother Series – Book 2

By Jasinda Wilder

Release Date: January 20, 2017

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo / Google Play

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.

_____________________________

Tracey’s Review

Working that magic that they do so well, authors Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde have done it again. Being the seasoned writers that they are, working together just seems to bring out the best in both of these ladies, as shown by their latest, BIG SHOT.

With no positive examples of love to draw on in his life, Wes Sinclair is most definitely not in the game of love for the long haul. Oh, he enjoys his fair share of women, but he’s absolutely not looking for a happily ever after. And, while he’s long had the hots for his best friend’s little sister, Wes knows that nothing can ever come of it. Yes, Natalie Prescott is smoking hot, and yes, she pushes Wes’ buttons like no other, but Wes knows better than to break the Bro Code, not even for Natalie. But, wait, there’s more…

Yep, so much more. Because, sassy, spunky, realtor on the rise Natalie knows just how to get a rise out of Wes, in more ways than one. When a friendly little wager ends up with Natalie at Wes’ mercy for two weeks, how in the world are these two not going to give in to the passion that has been smoldering between them for forever?

I really like Wes. Sure, he’s is a player, but it doesn’t take him long to open his eyes and figure out exactly what’s important to him (a little kick in the pants from best friend Connor notwithstanding). He’s always viewed Natalie as the pesky little sister, the ‘frenemy’ that he enjoys sparring with, but seeing Natalie as the capable, successful, passionate young woman that she’s become is an eye-opener for him. Keeping it casual as usual just isn’t going to work, because the heart wants what the heart wants. And, Natalie, before too long, is what Wes’ heart wants.

Natalie is a breath of fresh air. She’s determined to have the life that she wants and the success that she deserves, and she’s not waiting around for anyone to hand these things to her. She’s loved Wes for as long as she can remember, but is not fooling herself into thinking that he’s the one, because she knows him so well. But casual flings aren’t for everyone, and that hold that Wes has on her heart isn’t about to let Natalie do the easy breezy thing. I love that she is strong enough to pick herself up and forge ahead, even while nursing a fair bit of heartbreak.

The sizzle between Wes and Natalie is white-hot, but it’s the humor, the friendship, the easiness of their relationship, as things progress, that really make me enjoy them so much. Carly and Erika have done a lovely job of showing their bad boy just how sweet surrender can be, no matter who’s giving in. 4.5 steamy, sassy, sweet stars for BIG SHOT. This is definitely one to add to your TBR list.

Wild Kisses

Wildwood Series – Book 2

By Skye Jordan

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Newly divorced, Avery Hart returns home to Wildwood eager to take on her dream opportunity and transform her family’s dive bar into her own bakery. The contractor for hire isn’t just a master with his hands—he’s big, built, and wears a tool belt like nobody’s business. Despite being an ex-con, Trace Hutton is irresistible. Too bad he’d never go for someone as inexperienced as Avery.

Trace needs to focus on the job at hand, not daydream about smearing icing all over the sexy baker…and licking it off. This job is the key to getting his construction company back on its feet after his time in prison. Besides, no one deserves a fresh start more than Avery, and she certainly won’t get that with him.

After a delectable night of passion (and pie), Trace craves something more. But he’ll be damned if he’ll let his checkered past crush her dreams. And as Avery starts to realize how Trace fulfills more than just her physical needs, she struggles with whether to let her history decide her future, or explore the wild new possibilities of forever…

________________________________________

Michel’s Review

The Hart sisters are back and Wildwood has never been hotter. With the release of the second book in Wildwood Series, Skye Jordan has turned up the heat.

Avery Hart returned to Wildwood after her sister Delaney convinced her to return home after her disastrous divorce. Avery is struggling to become a stronger woman after many years of neglect. Being an army wife had taught her how to become independent and self sufficient but didn’t teach her how to value herself. She is weary of love and commitment after her husband’s betrayal. Coming home to Wildwood is her second chance. Her chance to become whole. A chance to prove to herself that she has value.

Avery and Delaney have chosen to turn the family bar into a restaurant and catering business. Avery has a gift in the kitchen. Her pastries and baked goods are in high demand. She’s building a solid reputation in the community while the renovations are being done to the bar. She has become in high demand and is working her fingers to the bone. She doesn’t have time for romance but the sexy contractor is a big temptation. He’s proving that she is a desirable woman that deserves to have her needs met. He is also very leary of labeling their affair as a relationship. He has his own issues and family problems that have destroyed his life. Now he is responsible for taking care of his father and trying to rise above his jaded past.

Trace Hutton is a convicted felon. He spent his younger years in prison. Being a man with a record is hard enough, let alone being a business owner. He is struggling to keep his contracting business afloat. He has to go one step beyond to prove to the community of Wildwood that he is a man that is dependable and productive. The last thing he needs is Avery Hart tempting his heart.

Both Avery and Trace struggle to find their place in Wildwood. Their biggest struggle is learning their own value and accepting themselves. Once they can learn that, their relationship may not be doomed. It may be their saving grace.

The Wildwood series is one of Skye Jordan’s more erotic series. The passionate love scenes are sizzling hot. What makes this series shine is the characters. They are very strong and compelling people with very real issues. Their lives are anything but perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed Wild Kisses and can’t wait to see what comes next in the Wildwood series. There is a missing Hart sister that needs to return home to Wildwood.

Synopsis

Forbidden Fling, Book 1 in the Wildwood Series by Skye Jordan

Delaney Hart has come a long way from her wild youth, dating tattooed bikers at her father’s bar, The Bad Seed. But when his death pulls her back to Wildwood, California, she must stay to renovate the dive he left her. And also face the lies and secrets that sent her running ten years before.

When Wildwood’s chief building inspector, Ethan Hayes, shows up on the property, Delaney doesn’t recognize him. The last thing he wants to do is save the bar where his cousin died in a brawl. But the good boy from her past is all too willing to remind her of the bad girl she used to be. And one night of passion leaves them both in a compromising position.

The last place Ethan should be is in Delaney’s bed. Guilt, family pressure, and plans for a brewpub of his own make shutting down The Bad Seed his top priority…until his feelings for Delaney interfere. Because her future depends on the success of the bar’s renovation and his dreams are rooted in its failure, their forbidden romance may be destined for heartbreak.

AUTHOR NOTE

Hi lovely readers,

The first thing you’re probably asking is if this is a new book. It’s not. It’s the same book but with a new title and cover as Missionary Position.

Why the change?

Plus, Missionary Position is also the title of a Mother Teresa biography, and well, that’s kind of awkward.

Thanks for reading!
