Synopsis

I proposed on our first date.

She laughed and told me I was insane. Less than a day later, she said yes.

It was a whirlwind, but we were happy…

Until we got greedy and wanted a family.

It was a life I couldn’t give her, not for lack of trying. Fertility just wasn’t on our side. We sought out doctors and treatments. Spent money we didn’t have. Lied to our families. Smiled for our friends. Put on a brave face for a world that didn’t understand.

Finally, we were successful…

Until we were forced to bury our son.

We were left broken, battered, and destroyed.

They say love is in the details, but it was the details that ruined us.

This is the story of how I took back what had always been mine.

The retrieval of my wife and our family.

Excerpt

“Where’d you get beer?” Elisabeth asked as she scrambled from the couch.

“Seth,” I replied, hanging my head and rubbing my eyes.

Jesus, I’d wanted to kiss her. She was being a bitch, spouting shit she didn’t mean just because she was too scared to let me in.

But, even through it, those plump lips were calling to me.

I’d never been able to resist that woman. Despite that we’d fallen apart, it hadn’t changed. The hum for her was still in my veins. It never went away, but for two years, it had been dormant. I’d packed it down so tightly that I’d hoped it had died. But, with one look, my body began thrumming like a live wire.

“Seth?” she asked as she bent over to straighten her tight, black pencil skirt.

It was a rare occasion to catch Elisabeth in something other than a perfectly pressed skirt and a pair of heels. But she’d been sleeping all day. It was wrinkled all to hell and back. The only thing her efforts succeeded in was drawing my attention down to her legs.

Legs that had spent many nights wrapped around my hips as she came while crying my name.

Shit. I should go.

But, after the way she’d latched on to me that morning, I wasn’t going anywhere.

“My assistant,” I answered. “I had him pick you up a bottle of wine, too.”

She blinked. “You have an assistant? Who delivers you beer? And your ex-wife wine?”

“No, I have an assistant who does whatever the fuck I need him to do. And, luckily for us, beer and wine happen to fall into the whatever-the-fuck-I-need-him-to-do category tonight.” She fought back a smile as I finished, “So do gyros.”

“Damn. I need to get one of those,” she mumbled to herself.

I smirked. “Cash my checks and you could afford one.”

It was a dick move, bringing up the money right then. But, despite her expert hand in decorating, that little starter house we’d bought with rose-colored glasses now needed a shit-ton of work.

Her back shot ramrod straight, fury crinkling the corners of her eyes as she snarled, “I’m not cashing your checks.”

I shrugged. “Guess you’ll have to figure out how to get your own wine and dinner after tonight.”

“I think I can manage,” she fired back.

“Suit yourself.” I pushed off the couch and meandered to the kitchen.

I went to the fridge and leaned in, searching for anything I could snack on. With the exception of at least a dozen Tupperware containers, she didn’t have much in the way of a quick bite.

Snagging a handful of grapes from the drawer, I made a mental note to send Seth to the grocery store after he’d delivered dinner.

Popping the grapes in my mouth one by one, I felt her watching me in what could only be defined as silent awe. I decided my best move would be to ignore it. “You know, I should have invented Tupperware. You alone could keep me in business,” I told her, retrieving a beer and then shutting the door.

She scoffed then muttered, “At least then I would have benefitted from you abandoning our marriage.”

Lava fresh off the volcanoes in Hell boiled in my veins.

I cocked my head to the side and questioned, “I’m sorry. Come again?”

“You should go,” she snapped.

Think a-fucking-gain.

“Nah, I’m good. Got any movies?”

I tipped the bottle to my lips, doing my best to calm the storm brewing within me, all while still fighting the desire to take her to the floor, plant myself between her legs, and remind her how that fucking attitude affected me.

Clearly, she had forgotten.

My cock had not.

“Roman, it’s been a crazy day. Please don’t do this tonight.”

“Do what?” I asked, leaning back against the huge, granite island.

She threw her hands out to the sides in frustration. “What you always do.”

“What do I always do, Lissy?”

“This!” she yelled.

I frowned and took another pull from my beer. “Haven’t been in our kitchen, drinking beer, in a long time. I hardly think it’s fair to say I always do it.”

Her eyes nearly bulged from her head. “My kitchen, Roman. This is my kitchen. Not ours. And you know good and damn well that is not what I’m talking about.”

My lips twitched as I pointed the neck of my bottle at her. “No. What I know good and damn well is that I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. Or why you’re slinging unnecessary and, might I add, undeserved attitude at me like a short-order cook at the bitch house.”

“He did not say that to me,” she whispered to herself.

When I lifted a shoulder in a half shrug, she swung a pointed finger toward the door and yelled, “Get out!”

I grinned, crossing my legs at the ankle. “You always were cranky when you were hungry.”

And that was the exact moment her head exploded.

Spoiler Free Review

Oh My God… The Retrieval Duet by Aly Martinez is going to be a guaranteed BEST SELLER!

I went into the first book, Retrieval, with quite different expectations. From the very first word to the last punctuation mark, I was hooked. I could not put this page turner down. The ending left me with my heart racing and fearing what was to come next. The book left the characters hanging on a life or death situation for everyone involved. The moment introduced the readers to the second couple in the Retrieval Duet equation. It also raised questions of how any of these people could have a complete happily ever after because there is something that both these couples want but only one can have.

Aly Martinez painted a very vivid picture of a couple that was living the dream life until they tried to start a family. The stress of their efforts put an emotional strain on their relationship. When they lost their son, grief was the final straw that broke them completely. They didn’t know how to share their grief, communicate their feelings, or how to take the next step forward. Rather than lean on one another they both withdrew into their grief in separate ways.

Fast forward to two years later. There is resentment, hatred, failure, despair, and regret in both of their souls. Time isn’t always as healing as it is proclaimed to be. Both Roman and Elisabeth are still broken in many ways. Divorce wasn’t the answer to their problems. It was just a circumstance of them.

They had walked away from their relationship with bitterness. The love they shared was lost until one horrific nightmare woke them both up and thrust them into each other’s lives once again. Once they get past the inititial hatred and bitterness, they ban together to survive the nightmare being thrown at them. They realize beneath the surface they are still in love with one another. They are soulmates. Not only will they have to survive the nightmare, they will have to learn to communicate and trust one another again. The way they should of the first time around.

Not only are they dealing with their own nightmare, there are other lives at stake. They will have to figure out a way to save them all.

Aly Martinez delivered an emotional story that had my heart aching for Roman and Elisabeth. The more the story evolved, I became connected with the other people involved in the nightmare of their lives. The ending just had me gasping. I need to know how it’s going to play out. Transfer cannot release soon enough for me!

5 Star Review: Manipulated by Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott – Hammered Series – Book 3

Manipulated

Hammered Series – Book 3

A Rockstar Romance

By Cari Quinn & Taryn Elliott

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

My name is Owen Blackwell, and I’m currently in recovery.
Not from what you think, though I do enjoy a bit of whiskey.

No, my issue is that I fell foolishly in love with my best friend. Oh, and she’s getting married.

So, in my eternal stupidity, I hooked up with a woman at our annual masquerade ball. You know what they say—the best way to get over a woman is to get under another.

Who is this woman, you ask? Calliope Templeton. She’s unlike any other I’ve ever met. And believe me, as the guitarist for Hammered—only the biggest selling rock band out there right now—I’ve met quite a few.

Now I have to figure out how to convince her we’re more than just a one-night stand. She’s supposed to be my happily ever after.

And if necessary, I’m willing to show her just how resourceful one determined Irishman can be…

BEYOND OBLIVION – A Rockstar Romance full of sexy fun set within the world of our Lost in Oblivion series! You never know who you’ll see show up in the books.

___________________________________

Tracey’s Review

If I wanted to be fearless, I had to stop being afraid. So simple and so very hard.

Calliope Templeton is in the process of reclaiming her life. Blessed with an eye for the camera and the innate talent to find the perfect shot, Callie is just coming back into her own after a particularly nasty divorce, putting together the pieces of herself that make her, well, her. When she lands the best opportunity that she’s had lately, as event photographer at a party for the rich and famous, little does she know that her groove is about to come roaring back like nobody’s business.

Mourning the loss of the love that wasn’t, Owen Blackwell is ready to find his happy for now, and who better than the hot Bettie Page lookalike that’s snapping photos of him and his bandmates? But when their hot hook-up goes awry, Owen is left wondering what caused his sexy photog to rabbit on him.

MANIPULATED is the the third book in the Hammered series by Cari Quinn and Taryn Elliott, two of my go-to authors, and it might be my favorite so far. Callie’s like a butterfly emerging from her chrysalis after a very long time, having waited what seems like forever to get back to living her life in a way that expresses who she truly is. And Owen, oh, Owen, he had me from the very beginning of the series, but, here? Here he’s every bit the romantic artistic Irishman, happy to take Callie just as she is, helping, even, to motivate her and lift her up even more as she emerges as the woman that she’s becoming. He’s poetic, he’s dashing, he’s alpha (so much the alpha!), and he’s gifted in all the ways that make a girl’s heart (and other parts) go all in. Their interactions both entertain and titillate, and I enjoyed every single minute of it.

Cari and Taryn are the mistresses of writing books with characters that you never tire of seeing, and interweaving series so that old friends make frequent appearances as new stories unfold. Ripper Records, the Lost In Obivion folks, and even a mention of some Warning Signs shenanigans make MANIPULATED feel like a visit home. It’s super-easy to give this one 5 stars, because I love it that much. But, too, I have to say again, if you haven’t read all of Cari’s and Taryn’s stuff, from the LOI books on through, do yourself a favor, start at the beginning, and settle in, because you’re about to fall in love.

Quick Trick

Rough Riders Hockey Series – Book 1

By Skye Jordan

Buy: Amazon

Synopsis

Infamous Rough Riders’ playboy Grant Saber has been sidelined for a bum shoulder. If he has to be off the ice for three weeks of recovery, he‘ll do it on his back—breaking in a new wanna-be cowgirl every night. But pressure from the team’s owner and Grant’s parents land him in his hometown of Holly, North Carolina instead. Things look up when he learns the hometown beauty who was once so out of his league is now single, and sexier than ever. Determined to slip in a night with her while he’s in town, Grant is shocked to discover one will never be enough.
Faith Nicholas has no interest in the newest Saber-son gossip. After losing her father just months before, she is now on the verge of losing their family hardware store—which is also her home. She couldn’t care less about the Saber’s big money or flashy toys. But she can’t seem to keep Grant out of her store–or her dreams. His magnetic charisma is impossible to ignore, and the longer he stays in town, the more she finds to love about a man who isn’t as superficial as he’d like others to believe.
With a struggling store, four-hundred miles and a rigorous hockey season looming between them, Grant will have to pull out his very best moves if he’s going to make this quick trick last forever.

Quick Trick by Skye Jordan Excerpt 1:

But he turned and pushed her up against a wall. Her laughter died, and heat sparked in her eyes. She lifted her hands, pressing them against his chest, but didn’t push him away. He leaned in until their hips met and their thighs brushed. Her breath quickened. Her pupils dilated. And the look on her face… She wanted him just as badly. She just didn’t know how to jump. But Grant couldn’t keep playing this game with her. He didn’t do games at all, yet she’d dragged him into this one. And as enticing as it might be, Grant didn’t have enough time. Or enough patience.

She needed a push.

He slid an arm behind her and drew her in with a forearm at the base of her spine. Her softness pressed against his growing erection, and pleasure washed through the lower half of his body. He moaned softly and rocked against her until she made the same sound. Until her lids grew heavy. Until her fingers curled into his shirt. Until she murmured his name in that voice that said make me come. “Grant…”

“Is this what you want, Faith? If you want me to take control, I will. But if I lead, I’ll do it my way.”

Her gaze jumped from his mouth to his eyes. “What’s… your way?”

For a split second, he considered lying. He thought about telling her what she wanted to hear just to get her into bed. He wanted her that badly. And that reality— more than anything else— pushed a very harsh description from his mouth.

“If I did it my way, I’d do you right here, right now, up against this wall.”

Her breathing picked up. Her eyes sparked with surprise and lust.

“I’d cover your mouth with my hand and drive into you until you snapped in a screaming climax. All while the whole store, the whole fucking town of Holly, was just six inches away. And it would be our sweet little secret.
One you’d think about every time you walked into this room.”

She made a sound in her throat. Her lids dipped. She licked her lips.

“You like that idea,” he said, “don’t you?” And wasn’t that the biggest fucking surprise and the hottest rush?
Her gaze darted away. “I… I don’t know. I can’t think…”

“Then imagine”— he told her, pushing harder, half hoping she shoved him off and walked away, half hoping she told him to take her right then—“ because I talk as dirty as I fight, and I fuck as hard as I play.”

She breathed a moan, and her eyelids slid closed.

But it was the feel of her body softening, of the way she started moving with him, not against him, that finally blocked his ability to think.

Michel’s Review

I love sports romance books. I love Hockey themed books. I love small town romance books. I love Skye Jordan’s books. Combine all these together and you get Quick Trick by Skye Jordan, a delightful reading experience that left me wanting more in the new Rough Riders Hockey Series.

Grant Saber has not been home to Holly, NC in many years. His busy hockey schedule has been a great excuse not to visit home. After a shoulder injury that put him out of play, he’s ran out of excuses. He purposely stayed away because of his dysfunctional family and tormented past. He was bullied throughout school. His only escape was playing hockey. A sport that his parents discouraged and most of his peers could care less about. Their small town was on perpetual Christmas mode. It celebrated Christmas 365 days in the year. When the holiday season was finally in full swing, the town went out with a festival that attracted tourists from near and far.

Grant’s first day home is anything but pleasant. His cold hearted parents are anything but welcoming. His two brothers, who are just as unpleasant, have not arrived home yet. Without his brothers as a buffer he’s forced to do his parents bidding. Their social status within the community is their prime concern. They have volunteered him to judge an ice sculpting contest with a social climbing woman he can’t stand. The only reason he would even consider judging would be for the high school hockey team. The funds from the festival go to the local sports programs.

His mother has also sent him on a mission to pick up the family christmas tree from the local hardware at closing time. Rather than finding the store still open, he has to hunt down the owner at a local bar to get his tree. He couldn’t believe that Faith Nicholas now owns the store. The girl who was the head cheerleader, the most popular, and the most blind to him in high school is holding the christmas tree hostage. With a little bit of charm that fails more than seduces, he finally convinces her to open the store to get his tree.

Grant is intrigued with Faith. She’s not the same girl she was in high school. She’s an independent woman struggling to keep her father’s hardware opened. He creates new fixer upper tasks daily just to visit Faith at the store and keep his parents off his back.

The past eight years have been very hard on Faith. She gave up college when her father became ill. She has spent those years taking care of him and trying to keep the hardware afloat. She was lost when he passed away. She goes through the motions everyday just trying to survive in Holly,NC. She has to find a way to make this small store thrive.

Faith and Grant begin a shaky friendship that turns into more. Just as things start looking bright in Faith’s future, Grant is pulled back into his world of fame and super stardom. A world where Faith doesn’t fit and has no chance of belonging to.

I absolutely loved this book. Grant and Faith both had personal journeys they had to go through in Holly, NC. They had to let go of the past and look to the future. While traveling that road , they found each other.

I can’t wait to see what comes next for the Rough Rider Hockey team.

Pre Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: The Playbook by Kelly Elliott

Posted on 09/12/2016 by shellbellereads

My life revolved around two things. Football and my cock. And not necessarily in that order.

Being the head football coach for a top university in Texas had its ups and its downs.

The ups? Endless women to f*ck.

The downs? The politics that came with the job.

From the moment Aubrey Cain walked into my office, she turned my world upside down. Being forced to have her follow me around for a month was going to be a pain in the ass. Especially since I couldn’t keep my eyes off of her.

The best I’d hoped to come out of this was a few nights with her in my bed. I never imagined she’d be the game changer.

Brett Owens was my assignment.

Head football coach for a top college, bad boy reputation, short temper, and handsome good looks should have scared me off. But I was tougher than that.

From the first words out of his obnoxious, dirty-talking mouth, I knew it was going to be a long month. It wasn’t five minutes after meeting him, he hit on me. If only I had known his blue eyes would haunt my dreams and awaken a desire inside of me I never knew existed.

This was business. There was no way I would be tempted by him no matter how good looking he was or how many things he whispered in my ear.

He was only supposed to be my assignment. Not the man who threatened to destroy both my heart and my career. I would follow along with his playbook for now. But who would end up winning was anyone’s guess.

The Playbook is a stand-alone novel.

Amazon | iBooks | Barnes and Noble | Kobo

With the football season now in full swing everyone is celebrating and cheering on their teams. Whether you are a high school fan, a college fan, or a NFL fan, there’s a team out there holding the line and scoring touchdowns. The sports romance genre is one of the most popular genres in the publishing world, football being one of the favorite themes. Readers love experiencing the moment their big, brawny players fall head over heels in love. These grid iron warriors are taken to their knees by a woman that has a heart of a warrior. What about the coaches? The men who have trained these grid iron warriors and taught them everything they know? There aren’t too many books out there focusing on these fearless leaders, the generals of the grid iron. Kelly Elliott has written The Playbook , a book that features a swoon worthy college football coach. We thought the players were the bomb, just wait until we meet the man behind the men.

Brett Owens is one of the youngest coaches in college football. He gave up his illustrious NFL career to coach his college alma mater team. He’s led his team to three championships in a row and has become a legend in the world of college football. With his extremely good looks, wicked sense of humor, and dirty talking mouth, he has become a legend with the ladies as well.

Aubrey Cain has fought to become a side line football reporter for ESPN. Her goal is to become a side line reporter for the NFL. Being a female in the business is hard and even harder pushing through the “boys club” in the sports world. Her boss is holding her back and keeping her tied to the college arena. When she’s assigned a in depth expose of Brett Owens highlighting his personal as well as professional life, she sees this as the final stepping stone in reaching her goals. She will have to follow this elusive coach around for six weeks on and off the field. She will have to arm herself with a professional attitude at all times to wield off the advances and sexual innuendo’s Brett Owens is throwing her way. Her job is on the line.

Brett and Aubrey are both fighting their attraction for one another. They form a strong professional relationship as well as a strong friendship. Aubrey sees there’s more to the man than women and football. When a situation arises that could ruin Brett’s career and make Aubrey’s, she chooses to take the high road and back Brett one hundred percent. That’s the turning point for them both. They are going to find the one thing that matters more than their careers. They are going to find a love that happens once in a lifetime.

Both Aubrey and Brett will have to face difficult decisions. They will have to fight for their careers. They will have to make choices that will be life changing. In the end they find life is about more than football.

Kelly Elliott scored a touchdown with the Playbook. In between your favorite game days I highly recommend reading The Playbook to keep in game day spirit.

Fighting To Be Free

Fighting To Be Free Series – Book 1

By Kirsty Mosely

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

FIGHTING TO BE FREE

All his life, people have told Jamie Cole that he was born bad. Maybe it’s true, maybe it’s not. But that doesn’t matter now. Because after a lifetime of demons, Jamie has finally found an angel.

Ellie Pearce learned the hard way that boys can’t be trusted. But the night she meets Jamie, something shifts. He’s different: brooding, a bit dark, determined to change. The connection they share is intense, compelling. Ellie tries to resist, but with each breathtaking kiss, she can’t help falling deeper.

Things between Ellie and Jamie are perfect-and perfection can’t last. When fate goes horribly wrong, Jamie’s only hope of saving his family is to strike a deal with the devil. Most of all, Jamie wants to prove he’s the person Ellie believes him to be. But if she learns just how much he’s been hiding, Ellie won’t be able to believe anything Jamie has ever told her . . .

Excerpt

He rolled onto his side, reaching out his hand and pulling me against him as he slowly ran his hands down my back.

“That was incredible, Ellie,” he murmured, kissing my nose. He was grinning from ear to ear as he stroked his fingers across my cheekbone.

I smiled and sighed contentedly. “Yeah, it was.” And it really had been. That was incredible; he had been soft and tender, his hands seeming to explore every part of me as he’d taken my body to heaven and back again. He wrapped his arms around me, pulling me tightly against him, tangling our legs together as he just looked at every inch of my face with a small, satisfied smile on his lips.

“You don’t have much stuff,” I stated after we’d been silently cuddling on his bed for a couple of minutes.

He frowned. “Uh, no, I haven’t even been here a week.”

“Where were you living before?” I probed, wanting to hear the sound of his sexy voice some more. He shifted uncomfortably, and I took the hint that he didn’t want to talk about it. “That’s okay, you don’t have to say.” I rolled so that I was on top of him and sat up, straddling him. He ran his hands up my thighs and rested them on my hips, just watching me with a satisfied smile on his face.

I sighed. It was time to go. This was where it got a little awkward. What was I supposed to say? Thanks and good-bye? “So, I guess I should get going. Would you mind calling me a cab?” I asked, climbing off him and looking around the room for my clothes.

The bed creaked behind me. “You’re going? Why?” I didn’t need to look to know he would be frowning—I could hear the shock in his tone.

I smiled at him over my shoulder. He was sitting up on the bed, a little pouty expression on his face as he watched my every move. “Well, I’ve never had a one-night stand before, but I thought that was how it worked: You have sex and then you leave,” I joked as I pulled on my panties.

He shook his head. “No, I mean, why do you have to go now? You can stay the night; I’ll drive you home in the morning.”

“You want me to stay the night?” I asked disbelievingly.

He pushed himself up off the bed and walked to me in all his naked glory. I couldn’t keep my eyes off his body. “Yeah, I want you to stay the night,” he confirmed, smiling his sexy smile at me, making my stomach flutter.

Oh, I can definitely stay the night!

Michel’s Review

Fighting To Be Free is the first book I have read by Kirsty Moseley and it won’t be the last. Fighting To Be Free delivered a heartbreaking story of a young man at a disadvantage who had a sincere heart of gold and a strong desire to be a better person. He was a victim of the life he was born into. His choices were taken away from him at an early age. He was in survival mode his entire life. He had regrets and life long scars that he would carry in his soul the rest of his life. Jamie Cole is a survivor and is determined to live the rest of his life on the right path. His new beginning started the day he was released from the juvenile facility. Fate had a different plan for Jamie.

Jamie Cole spent four years in juvie for murder. Because he was a fourteen year old minor and a victim of domestic violence, the courts prosecuted him as a minor rather than an adult. The murder he committed was not a premeditated crime, it was an act of passion brought on by emotional distress. He had been a criminal and a thief since he was eleven. He was drawn into a life of crime to survive in the world he was born. His family life was pathetic. His father was dead, his mother was a drug addict, and his little sister was just as much a victim of their life as he was. He would do anything to protect his sister and make her life easier than his own.

Being in prison for four years changed Jamie. At eighteen he was finally getting his freedom. He was being released on parole. The conditions of his parole were cut and dry. He had to get a job, find a home, and stay out of trouble. His future prospects are very limited with only a little money in his pocket , a limited education, no job training, and a criminal record. He’s been set up in an apartment in the sketchy part of town where he came from. His former crime lord boss wants him back in the fold. He wants him to start stealing high end cars once again. Jamie’s trapped because once you are in Brett Reyes employ the only way out is death. Jamie’s determined to live crime free even if it means death.

After negotiations with Brett, Jamie is almost free. He struggles in his new life. Finally he finds a break when he visits a local junkyard. It’s the beginning he was hoping for. He also meets a girl that no only reinforces his will to stay crime free, she makes him want to be a better man. He has never had the opportunity to date a girl from the right side of town that has morals and a good life. He wants to be the kind of man she can be proud of. He wants to give her the world.

Ellie Pearce has been bogged down with her life. She has finally gotten up the nerve to break off with her controlling jock boyfriend. She’s tired of being controlled and forced into a position of being the perfect cheerleader girlfriend. Her parents are pushing her towards colleges she has no interest in. Her mother wants her to stay with her boyfriend because he’s from a prominent family. She just wants the freedom to be herself. She has a desire to travel and see the world before she has to make choices about her adult life. Her first night out after breaking off with her boyfriend will change her senior year. She met a guy who is more than a hook up or rebound guy. He’s everything. She can be herself with him. He admires her dreams and wants her to go after them.

Fate has a different plan for Jamie and Ellie. Jamie’s past life comes back to haunt them. Jamie is fearful for Ellie. He will do anything to keep her safe even if means returning back into the criminal he once was. This time he’s doing it for Ellie. He is going to give her the world even if it means sacrificing himself.

This book just ripped me apart. As a mature adult I could see the validity in this story. Life isn’t always good, it can be downright cruel with a some good moments that make it worth going on. It’s not easy to rise above the past nor is it easy to escape upbringing. As a mother my heart bled for Jamie. Most parents want to give their children opportunities they never had. They want to nurture, protect, and love their children. They are willing to sacrifice for their children. They want their children to succeed in life. Jamie never had that. He never had anyone fight for him until he met Ellie.

Although this book had a heartbreaking ending, it’s not the end of Jamie and Ellie’s story. They are just at the beginning of their adult lives. The test of time is going to determine their fate. They have just begun their journey. I can’t wait for their next step in the journey called life.

Release Blitz + Excerpt + 5 Star Review : Rookie Move by Sarina Bowen – Brooklyn Bruisers Series – Book 1

Posted on 09/06/2016 by shellbellereads

Rookie Move

Brooklyn Bruisers Series – Book 1

By Sarina Bowen

Release Date: September 6, 2016

Buy: Amazon / B & N / ITunes / Kobo

Synopsis

In high school they were the perfect couple—until the day Georgia left Leo in the cold…

Hockey player Leo Trevi has spent the last six years trying to do two things: get over the girl who broke his heart, and succeed in the NHL. But on the first day he’s called up to the newly franchised Brooklyn Bruisers, Leo gets checked on both sides, first by the team’s coach—who has a long simmering grudge, and then by the Bruisers’ sexy, icy publicist—his former girlfriend Georgia Worthington.

Saying goodbye to Leo was one of the hardest things Georgia ever had to do—and saying hello again isn’t much easier. Georgia is determined to keep their relationship strictly professional, but when a press conference microphone catches Leo declaring his feelings for her, things get really personal, really fast…

“Romantic and hilarious, Rookie Move will hook you from page one. Nobody does hockey like Sarina Bowen.” –Elle Kennedy, New York Times bestselling author of the Off Campus series.

Excerpt

“Come right this way,” Georgia heard her coworker and roommate Becca say, the clomp of her Dr. Martens echoing through the grand old passageway. “Nate is excited to meet you.” Becca was the owner’s assistant, and Georgia lingered half a second to wave her down and offer her a donut, too.

But Becca didn’t happen to look in Georgia’s direction as she led a tall man down the corridor. Something about his gait snagged Georgia’s subconscious. So she took a second look.

And that’s when her heart took off like a manic bunny rabbit. Because she knew that man. She knew the chiseled shape of his masculine jaw, and the length of his coal-black eyelashes.

Oh my God.

Omigod, omigod, omigod.

“How was your flight?” Becca asked him, oblivious to the fact that Georgia was spying.

“Not too bad. I got in late last night.”

The sound of his voice fluttered right inside Georgia’s chest. It was the same smoky sweet timbre that used to whisper into her ear while they made love. She hadn’t let herself remember that sound in a long time.

Now it was giving her goosebumps. The good kind.

“Welcome to Brooklyn,” Becca said while Georgia trembled. “Are you familiar with the area?”

“Grew up about thirty miles from here,” he answered while chills broke out across her back.

Holding her breath, Georgia eased her office door further closed, until only a couple of inches remained. She could not be caught like this—freaked-out and speechless, hiding behind a door.

The movement caught Becca’s eye, though. Georgia saw her turn her head in her direction and then pick her out in the crack where the door was still open. Becca raised one eyebrow—the one with the barbell piercing in it.

All Georgia could do was close her eyes and pray that Becca wouldn’t call out a greeting.

There was a pause before Georgia heard Becca say, “Right this way, please.”

Quietly, Georgia stepped into her office and shut the door. After flipping on the light, she let her briefcase and pocketbook slide right to the floor. Only the folder that Nate had given her was still in her shaking hands. She flipped it open, her eyes searching for the new player’s name on the page.

But she didn’t even need the paperwork to confirm what her racing heart had already figured out. The newest player for the Brooklyn Bruisers was none other than Leonardo “Leo” Trevi, a six-foot-two, left-handed forward. Also known as her high school boyfriend, the boy she’d loved with all her heart until the day that she’d dumped him. And now he was here?

“Thanks, universe,” she whispered into the stillness of her office.

Michel’s Review

Sarina Bowen has moved up to the NHL. Moving right along with her from the Harkness College Hockey Team is Leo Trevi.

Leo Trevi’s dream has come true. He’s moving up to the NHL after spending the last year and a half on a farm team in Detroit. He has been traded to the Brooklyn Bruisers franchise. It’s a win win situation. He will be closer to his family and playing in the NHL. He can’t wait to start his rookie season.

Leo’s start with the Brooklyn Bruisers isn’t anything like his dreams. Right off the bat he’s confronted with several obstacles. His new coach hates him and wants him traded asap. His old high school girlfriend, who happens to be his new coach’s daughter, is the head of the PR for the Brooklyn Bruisers. To top it off, he gets into it with a new teammate and it’s caught on microphone at his first press conference. He might as well not unpack his suitcase. He’s going to be sent packing before he steps on the ice.

Leo Trevi is a fighter in the true sense of the word. He’s going to fight for time on the ice and prove he’s a player to be contended with. He’s going to earn his coach’s respect on the ice. He’s going to prove to his teammates that he is a warrior and not just a pretty face. The biggest thing on his list is Georgia. He’s going to win her back. First he will have to figure out why he lost her. He will also have to figure out why his coach hates him. Winning the respect of his teammates is the easy part.

The NHL is nothing like the Harkness College Team. He’s prepared to show his Rookie Moves.

Sabrina Bowen wrote more than a second chance romance. Like any of her books there are sensitive issues that her characters have to deal with and learn from. She allows her characters to grow as individuals. She also gives them a romance that is swoon worthy.

Rookie Moves is a winning goal in the Brooklyn Bruisers series.

Release Blitz + 5 Star Review: Too Wild To Tame by Tessa Bailey – The Clarksons Series – Book 2

Posted on 09/06/2016 by shellbellereads

Too Wild To Tame

The Clarksons Series – Book 2

By Tessa Bailey

Buy: Amazon / B & N / IBooks / Kobo

Synopsis

Sometimes you just can’t resist playing with fire . . .

By day, Aaron Clarkson suits up, shakes hands, and acts the perfect gentleman. But at night, behind bedroom doors, the tie comes off and the real Aaron comes out to play. Mixing business with pleasure got him fired, so Aaron knows that if he wants to work for the country’s most powerful senator, he’ll have to keep his eye on the prize. That’s easier said than done when he meets the senator’s daughter, who’s wild, gorgeous, and 100 percent trouble.

Grace Pendleton is the black sheep of her conservative family. Yet while Aaron’s presence reminds her of a past she’d rather forget, something in his eyes keeps drawing her in. Maybe it’s the way his voice turns her molten. Or maybe it’s because deep down inside, the ultra-smooth, polished Aaron Clarkson might be more than even Grace can handle . . .

Excerpt

The security guard at the rear entrance came into view, his familiar hawk eyes zeroing in on Grace. Then Aaron. Exasperation moved over the guard’s features before he hid it by adjusting his earpiece. Activity swarmed on the front side of the building, the media, the shouted questions, the general scrape and hum of movement audible, even where they walked along the backside of the school.

Knowing once they were inside, she wouldn’t see Aaron again, Grace smiled up at him, noticing he didn’t look quite as confident as he had a moment before. “It was nice meeting you,” she whispered. “Thanks for not ratting me out.”

“I…” He smoothed a hand down the front of his ruby-colored tie. “I won’t see you…around again?”

Grace’s hands itched with the urge to burrow into her hair, latch on to the braids she’d completed this morning while waiting for Aaron to show. “Probably not. Why would you?”

Why was he frowning at her? She couldn’t ask him why, since they were within earshot of the guard and the walk had ended way too soon. With a final memorization of his furrowed brow, she transferred her focus. “Hey, Marcus.”

“Grace.” Marcus dipped his chin at Aaron. “Who’s this?”

Her neck grew stiff. “This is my handler for today. He’s new.”

Marcus split a look between her and Aaron, before consulting his clipboard. “No one ran a change in staff by me.”

Grace could feel Aaron’s sharp scrutiny and ignored it, attempting to breeze past Marcus with a casual smile. “I understand. I’ll just go grab my dad, so he can clear it up—”

“No. That’s okay.” As predicted, a harried Marcus blocked her path. “Your father is busy. Just…” He gave Aaron another once-over, lowering his voice to a conspiratorial whisper between men, as if Grace couldn’t hear every word. “You know the approved areas? Be sure to keep her within them.”

“Yes.” She was impressed when Aaron gave a brisk nod. “Will do.”

Aaron took her elbow and moved them into the back hallway, past the kitchen, where the local Boy Scouts were rushing to mix pancakes and pour them on the oversized, industrial griddle. Once they turned a corner and Marcus was no longer in view, Grace reluctantly tugged her elbow out of Aaron’s grip, rubbing the spot to keep the warmth alive awhile longer. “This is where we part ways.”

Aaron’s way too handsome face was the picture of bafflement. “Who are you, hippie?” The low, intense vibration of his voice made her shiver. “Why do you need a handler?”

She reached back and curled her fingers around the metal staircase handle. The one she knew was there—and where it led—thanks to last night’s expedition. Her intent was to slip away without answering, but after ignoring so many compulsions that morning already, she couldn’t deny the final one.

With a thready apology, Grace shot forward and up, locking her mouth with Aaron’s, memorizing the way his stiffness melted in one big deluge. The way he gave a rough exhale through his nose. That gruff sound that drummed from his throat, a split second before his lips opened, tongue teasing in to taste hers. Just some. The most perfect, slick greeting. The two of them hung there, mouths open, lips wet and fitted together, breath racing, kitchen clamoring behind them.

Two ends of a silk rope pulled taut beneath her belly button, a tempting lick of his tongue clenching muscles she’d never acquainted herself with, nor could she point them out on a diagram. Whoa Nelly. And with her heart slamming against her ribs like a wrecking ball, Grace cut out that snippet of time—so shimmering and unmarred—tucked it into her pocket, and stole down the staircase, wondering how long the memory of Aaron’s kiss would stay with her. Praying the answer was forever.

Tracey’s Review

Aaron Clarkson is the mover and shaker, the take-charge man, the man that always has a plan. And right now, his plan is to put his recent crash-and-burn behind him, the one that almost derailed his career, and get back in the game. Aaron isn’t about to let a chance meeting with free-spirited Grace Pendleton throw him off course, but he’s never met anyone like Grace before, and she’s about to show him a whole other side of life.

I am absolutely in LOVE with the Romancing the Clarksons series by author Tessa Bailey. This interesting and complex cast of characters has grabbed my heart and run with it, and I could not be enjoying these books more.

Aaron is an interesting guy. He’s the Clarkson that sees things the way that they are, that calls a spade a spade and to heck with emotions or feelings. It’s just the way that he’s always been, and he’s comfortable with the status quo. A stop in Iowa during their cross-country trip to grant their dead mother’s wish presents the perfect opportunity for Aaron to do what he does best. He knows the game of politics inside and out, and, if he can just spin things the right way, he’ll be back in the thick of things in no time.

Aaron comes across as self-centered, and a little bit amoral, and I wondered how he was going to redeem himself. Until Grace showed up. From moment one, she is the flame to his moth, and a force of nature that he cannot evade.

It was insane. Everything was insane. She was forcing him to consider light and shadows, when he’d only ever dealt in black and white. And she was the light. Shining bright enough to flay him.
He’d operated until now as if people were only hiding selfishness, the kind he didn’t bother to conceal. But not Grace. She contradicted everything he held true and it made the earth shake under his feet.

Grace knows what it’s like to have her inner spark dimmed, and she’s not doing it anymore. Living life on her terms, righting wrongs, doing good, Grace calls to something in Aaron, something long-buried, and makes him question everything that he thinks that he knows and wants. Grace is not without her own issues, having dealt with some very heavy issues in her past. But she looks deeper than Aaron’s surface, and finds something that calls to her, too, believing in him before he believes in himself, in them. But when it finally clicks for Aaron, when he finally sees himself, the real him, underneath all of the shell that years of negative self-talk had created, it’s magic.

He’d been thrown into a vast ocean without a life jacket, and she was reaching out with something resembling help, but it was so foreign and nothing like he’d ever experienced that gripping on to it was difficult. Slipping. It kept slipping. What finally forced him to hold…on was Grace. She was in the same ocean. Maybe she was always there. What if having him reach out and clasp on was the rescue she needed?

There are plenty of super-sexy moments in between all of the self-actualization that goes on. I mean, oh, MY, the heat. Aaron is one dirty talker, and the scenes between him and Grace are intense, and, at times, raw. When wide open meets tamped down, the point of intersection is sheer passion, and it is off-the-charts incendiary, which is something that I’ve come to expect in Tessa’s books. This series just keeps getting better, and I cannot believe that I have to wait until next year to get the other books. These are stories that you don’t want to miss. They’re hot, they’re emotional, and they wrap you right up and take you along for the always-interesting ride. 5 stars for TOO WILD TO TAME. Get these. Now. You can thank me later.

Excerpt

“Shut up,” I bitched, letting go of his back with one hand so I could grip his hair in my hand. “Please, just—” My words cut off on a strangled groan as he shifted and slid a finger inside me. No build up. No hesitance.

“Damn, you’re tiny everywhere,” Bram stuttered in surprise, making me chuckle then gasp.

“Pants,” I said frantically, my hips moving against his hand as my mind blanked. “Pants. Off.”

My hands went to his jeans, and he sighed against my face as I rubbed my hand down the length of him.

“I’m so hard, not sure if I can get them off,” he said half-seriously, pulling his finger from me in a slow glide.

“I have an exacto knife in the console,” I whispered back, our hands tangling as we pulled at his jeans.

“You’re not getting anywhere near my junk with a knife,” he hissed back, moaning as his jeans finally loosened and he pushed them down his hips.

“Commando?” I muttered as my hands hit warm skin.

“Need to do laundry.”

I laughed lightly as he leaned back to sit on his heels, grabbed his wallet out of his pocket, and pulled out a condom.

“Hurry,” I murmured as I reached down and wrapped my hand around his dick. Holy shit. Bram was packing. My lips turned up in a grin. “We’re working on borrowed time here.”

Bram’s head snapped up as he rolled on the condom, and he looked out the windows, making sure no one was nearby. “Shit.”

He looked down at me, then up at the windows, then down at me again before gripping my hips and yanking my lower body up so high that most of my weight was resting at the tops of my shoulders.

“What the—”

I let out a high pitched sound that I’m pretty sure I’d never made before in my life when his head dropped between my thighs and his mouth opened wide over my pussy. His beard rubbed softly against my thighs and the undersides of my ass cheeks, and I shuddered.

“Oh my God,” I mumbled squeezing my eyes closed as his tongue licked up my center, curling around my clit. The wet sound of his mouth opening and closing and licking and sucking filled the SUV, partnered with his groans and my heaving breaths.

At first, it just felt really, really good, but then, he focused in, rubbing over and over my clit with his tongue, bringing me closer and closer to orgasm. My body locked, and I clenched my teeth against the urge to scream.

Then he stopped and lowered my hips back down.

“No, no!” I lifted my hips frantically against his hands, “Don’t stop!”

“Shhh,” Bram murmured, coming down on top of me as I slapped at his shoulders. “Knock it off, Ani.”

I froze at the raspy sound of my name on his lips.

“You’re small,” he murmured, lifting my knee high until it was wedged between his arm and my ribs.

He pressed against me slowly, and my entire body relaxed to let him in. I rolled my hips slightly as he moved, and he pulled back out a fraction before pushing forward again. Doing it over and over until our bodies were completely locked together.

Wiping a hand over his beard, he shuddered, then leaned down to kiss me sweetly. “If I woulda waited until you came, you’d be too tight for me to get inside,” he said with a soft chuckle. “This way’s better.”

Then he began to move, shifting his hips just barely back and forth as he ground his pelvic bone against my clit.

My nails dug into his back as he pushed up until his arms were fully extended and looked down to watch my face. I didn’t know what expression I was making, and for a split second, it bothered me that he was watching me so intently, but then it began to build again. Faster and harder than before.

My muscles began to tighten and flex, and unable to control it, my leg that he’d been pressing up into his side shot straight down, my thighs wrapping around his hips like a vice as I came, making the fit of him inside me even more snug.

“Holy shit.” He snapped his hips forward hard as I pulsed around him, pulling back quickly and shoving forward again, over and over until my muscles went limp.

“Knees up,” he murmured frantically, leaning back to grip my jelly-like legs beneath my knees. He pressed them to my chest and then began to really move, pulling out almost completely and sliding back in hard three or four times before his movements went clumsy and he jerked, groaning deep in his throat.

He fell down to his elbows above me and rested his lips against my shoulder as we each caught our breath.

But as my breathing slowed, my heart began to pound.

What the hell did we just do?

Michel’s Review

The Fostering Love Series by Nicole Jacquelyn is one of the most unique series published in the romance genre. Rather than a series based on small town, sports, biker MC, or the typical family, it is based on two unique families put together by choice rather than genetics. Two foster families bonding from the heart. Proving the true definition of family is by the heart and not by blood.

Anita Martin joined the Evans family when she was fourteen. She has been in and out of foster homes since she was six years old. Her childhood left her with scars. She developed a quirky sense of humor that could come off as antagonistic. When she joined the Evans family she had finally found a real home. A home where people accepted and loved her just the way she was. For once she didn’t have to prove herself except to her one foster brother Abraham. Abraham was determined to find her flaws. He didn’t trust her. Thus began their confrontational relationship. A relationship that evolved through the years. From strangers to siblings,complete mistrust to a shaky friendship, and trusted friends to insatiable lovers; both Anita and Abraham have changed and evolved as individuals. Both are still prickly, rough around the edges, and have lingering damage from their former lives before the Evans family took them in. Now it’s time for them to make choices about their own lives and families.

Anita and Bram have always had a confrontational relationship. When they realize it’s a form of foreplay, they begin a shaky, secret sexual relationship without the promise of commitment. Bram does not want children. Anita’s choice of starting a family has been taken away from her. Their future goals mesh until they don’t.

Anita has the opportunity to become a mother. She will have to choose between Bram and her future child. She chooses her child.

Bram has once again had something taken away from him because of his adamant choice of not having children. He finally found a woman he could give his heart to. He’s not going to change and will let his heart bleed. What he didn’t realize is that his life was incomplete. One small child is going to change his world. Is it too late with Anita?

Bram and Anita are going to learn the true meaning of family and giving it one hundred percent. Unforeseen events will change how they look at life and what they hold dear.

Nicole Jacquelyn wrote a heart wrenching story that not only affected Anita and Bram, it also affected both the families that took them in as their own.

Read the Fostering Love Series by Nicole Jacquelyn, it’s a powerful series about the true meaning of love and family.

As his team’s enforcer on the ice, Sebastian Deveau is America’s favorite fighting Frenchman. But he’s just as likely to get into trouble off the ice–especially when it comes to women.

So when Sebastian Deveau walks into her brother’s gym, she has no idea who he is. All she knows is that he’s one gorgeous man with the sexiest accent she’s ever heard. And since she never has to see him again, she lets him give her the best orgasm of her life right on top of the gym’s dryer.

But Sebastian isn’t going to let this one-night stand get away so easily. He fights for what he wants, even if it takes fighting a little dirty . . .

Excerpt

I am nothing if not competitive and I will not let this man – this delectable stranger – feel like he’s won some kind of Flirt Off. I don’t pull back far from the kiss, just enough to break our contact. My eyes flutter open at the same time his do and any hint of that smile on his lips is gone. I see the debate flickering behind those unreal crystal blue eyes and dark, heavy eyebrows. I feel the hesitation. His hand on my jaw gets looser. His thumb lifts up like it’s going to sweep my lips again, but it doesn’t. He stops because I pulled back and it’s made him uncertain. Good. I don’t want to be the only one off-balance here. But he doesn’t want to stop – I can sense that, feel his desire radiating off of him. I can see the debate in his head dancing behind those light eyes. Does he play it cool and wait for me to make another move, or does he just go for what he wants, admitting to himself and to me, that he can’t resist just as much as I can’t?

He tightens his grip on me and I smile for the briefest second before it’s forced from my face when he leans in and captures my lips again. This time he’s the one who gave in. Now we’re even.

Michel’s Review

Victoria Denault is melting the ice with her latest release in the Hometown Players series. Winning It All is the fourth book in the series and by far the sexiest book. The winning combination of a sexy Frenchman and NHL enforcer has Sebastian Deveau heating up the pages.

Sebastian Deveau has wanted a steady permanent relationship. His quest to settle has left a trail of ex girlfriends and a bit of a tarnished reputation. It’s not that he’s a chronic player, he just hasn’t met the right one.

Attending an opening night party at a local gym is going to turn the tides. There he meets Shayne Beckford. Shayne is an instructor at her brother’s gym. She is also the daughter of a legendary NHL enforcer. Her father’s career in hockey was great on the ice but his family suffered for his greatness. He had numerous affairs and always put hockey first. The last thing Shayne wants is to become involved with a hockey player. She’d rather walk through the fires of hell first.

The chemistry between Sebastian and Shayne is undeniable. From their first hook up to their manufactured dates, the sheets are blazing. Chemistry is not enough for Shayne.

Sebastian will do everything in his power to prove he is not like her father. He will have to prove he has the ability to put her first and hockey second. He has to show Shayne he has what it takes to love her completely. Winning Shayne’s heart is better than winning the Stanley Cup. As far as Sebastian is concerned, it is Winning It All.

Victoria Denault delivered a fantastic story that kept me glued to the pages. Between the sizzling chemistry and creative dialogue, I loved Shayne and Sebastian’s relationship. I loved the involvement of all of the beloved players we have met in the previous books. I can honestly say that the Hometown Players Series is one of my favorite sports romance / hockey romance series. I can’t wait to see what player is going to score a goal next.

Read Winning It All by Victoria Denault. It’s in the net!

Synopsis

Cade Hall has always been the golden boy of the gridiron. Because of his talent at football, coupled with his father’s wealth, he’s always gotten his way. But when a night of drunken debauchery lands him in hot water with the college athletic board, neither his influential father nor his charming grin can save him. Cade finds it a total buzz kill when he is sentenced to community service with troubled youth at an inner-city shelter. But his nightmare is only beginning when his greatest high school regret is the very one in charge of the program, and she has him by the balls in more ways than one.

For Avery Prescott, senior year was a nightmare of epic proportions, and Cade Hall played the lead villain. After she fled her small town for college in the bright lights of Atlanta, she thought she had escaped the painful memories of her past. She never could have imagined Cade would waltz through the door of the outreach program she presided over. But Avery has news for Cade—she isn’t the same shy, doormat of a girl she was in high school. Since she holds Cade’s football future in her hands, she’s more than ready to make payback a real bitch.

Will they stay in the defensive zone or discover that sometimes life’s greatest lessons are learned the hard way?

Excerpt

“Is this one of those old-timey record players?”

“A Victrola,” I answered as I joined him.

Cade snapped his fingers. “That’s right. There was one of these at my grandparents’ house.” He eyed the contraption curiously. “Does it work?”

“Sure.” I set my cup down before winding up the crank. Then I placed the needle on the record, and a slow instrumental tune came out of the Victrola’s horn. At Cade’s groan, I grinned. “Not a fan of classical music?”

“No. It’s more about the fact that it’s one of Strauss’s waltzes.”

Cocking my brows at him, I asked, “You know Strauss?”

With a snort, Cade said, “Don’t look so surprised, and no, I didn’t learn about him in Harlington’s music appreciation class either.”

I held up my hands. “I wasn’t alluding to anything.”

“Yes, you were alluding, as you say, to the stereotype of me being an uncivilized jock,” Cade teased in a snooty-sounding voice.

“I’m sorry. I’ve got to stop doing that. You really are so much more than a jock.”

He swept his hand to his heart. “Why, thank you.”

“So tell me how you know Strauss.”

“I have waltzed at ten cotillions and three debutante balls.”

“Wow. That’s quite impressive.”

“What about you?”

“I’ve never been to a cotillion or deb ball.”

“No, I mean, haven’t you ever waltzed before?”

I laughed. “Oh yeah, I often practice my dance skills out in the corn.”

“Every lady should know how to dance.”

“But I’m not a lady.”

Cade smiled. “Yeah. You are.” When I started to protest, he said, “Money and position aren’t what make a lady. It’s what’s inside you that counts.”

His words and his tone caused the breath to wheeze out of my lungs. Just when I thought he couldn’t surprise me any more with the things he said, he went and said something like that. “Thank you,” I finally mumbled.

“You’re welcome.” The world seemed to slow to a crawl around us as we stood there staring at each other. The sound of Cade clapping his hands together caused me to jump. “Okay. One waltz lesson coming up.”

“I’m going to warn you that you’re probably going to regret this. I’m the worst dancer ever.”

“How can anyone who plays the piano suck at dancing?”

“I’m not sure how it’s possible, but trust me, it is.”

Cade laughed. “We’ll see.”

A tingling jolt of electricity shot through me when Cade took one of my hands in his. After he put his other hand on the small of my back, he drew me closer to him. Even with all the times I had sat next to him while we worked on our project, I hadn’t been this close.

“Now you put your other hand on my shoulder.”

“Okay.”

“Step back with your left foot and then bring your right to the side.” After I followed Cade’s lead, he said, “Now bring your left foot to your right, and then step forward with your right.”

My mind spun as I frantically tried processing Cade’s instructions. Somehow it managed to click together, and I followed his lead. “Hey, you’ve got it,” he remarked with a smile.

“It’s not because of me—it must be the teacher.” I glanced up at him and smiled. “Sports, brains, and dancing; you’re really a true triple threat.”

“You forgot devastating good looks and charm.”

I grinned. “Does that make you a quintuple threat?”

“Make it a sextuple threat if you throw in the money.”

“I should have known you’d find a way to have ‘sex’ in your title.”

Cade threw his head back and laughed. “Always busting my balls, Prescott.”

“Yep. Just consider me your Little Ball Buster like Judith in Walking Dead was called Little Ass Kicker.”

Cade’s brows rose in surprise. “You watch Walking Dead?”

“Sure I do.”

“That surprises me.”

“Why?”

“I guess I just figured you only watched pretentious stuff like Downton Abbey.”

“Downton Abbey is not pretentious.”

Cade grinned. “I’ll take that as a yes that you watch it.”

“I certainly do.”

“At least I’m 1 and 1 on picking the TV shows you like.”

“While you know me pretty well, you have a lot more to learn, Mr. Hall,” I teased.

“I look forward to you educating me.”

As I stared into his face, Cade’s expression grew serious. The idea of educating him suddenly seemed to take on a deeper meaning—one of both mental and physical knowledge.

Cade dipped his head to where our mouths were just inches apart. His breath fanned across my cheek, causing me to shiver. I stared into his eyes, silently pleading with him to go ahead and kiss me. We’d already been down this road before. Since Thanksgiving night, I’d wanted nothing more than to feel his lips on mine again.

When he finally kissed me, it sent energy humming all over my body. I’d kissed other boys, but it had never felt the way it did with Cade. It was all-consuming of my mind, body, and spirit.

Considering his experience, it shouldn’t have been too surprising that Cade was a good kisser. What surprised me the most was the emotion behind his kiss. It ran so much deeper than just a physical act, as if he was putting his heart and soul into kissing me.

Cade deepened the kiss by plunging his tongue into my mouth. It tangled along with mine in a waltz of its own composing. My hand snaked up his back to capture the hair at the base of his neck, and I ran my fingers through the silky strands, marveling at how much softer it was than I had imagined.

The Victrola ran out of steam, and the only sound filling the room was heavy breathing. At the loss of music, Cade stopped leading me around the floor, and his hands slid underneath my buttocks. He gripped the globes of my ass before hoisting me up to wrap my legs around his, and I molded myself tighter against him. I couldn’t seem to get enough of him—the way his strong arms felt around me, his thick waist against my legs, his broad, muscular back underneath my hands. Even though I knew I shouldn’t, I wanted all of him.

When we crashed into a chest of drawers, Cade momentarily released my lips to breathlessly ask, “Are you okay?”

“Mmhmm.” I gazed into his hooded eyes. “Don’t stop. Please don’t stop.”

I rubbed myself against the ridge in Cade’s pants, causing him to groan against my throat. “Jesus, Prescott, if you keep doing that, I won’t be able to stop.” When I did it again, my action was rewarded with a growl.

Cade’s wild eyes glanced around the room before leading us over to the wide red settee in the back corner. We collapsed onto the smooth velvet material. I widened my legs to allow Cade’s hips between them and his mouth sought out mine in a frantic kiss.

As our tongues battled against each other, Cade’s hand came to my breast. He kneaded and cupped it over the fabric of my uniform, my nipples hardening under his touch. When he began undoing the buttons of my dress, he broke the kiss to glance at me as if asking my permission. At my nod, he practically ripped the remaining buttons open.

He gave me a sheepish grin as he pulled me into a sitting position. “Sorry about that.”

“It’s okay,” I said as I slid my arms out of the sleeves.

My breath hitched when Cade’s arms snaked around my back to undo my bra. Once it was unhooked, I couldn’t help bringing my arms to cover my chest and keep the bra in place. I hated that in this moment I couldn’t seem to get past my modesty, or my fear that my average-sized chest would turn him off.

Cade tilted my chin with his fingers, forcing me to look him in the eye. “You sure you’re okay with this, Prescott?”

“I am, I promise.”

“Then what’s wrong?”

“I’m just a little scared,” I whispered.

“That I’ll hurt you?” Cade questioned with a wounded look.

I gave a quick jerk of my head. “That you won’t like what you see.”

“Huh?”

“You’ve been with so many other girls. I’m afraid I won’t measure up.”

His expression darkened. “That’s the stupidest fucking thing I’ve ever heard.”

I ducked my head. “I’m sorry, but I can’t help the way I feel.”

Cade cupped my face in his hands. “There’s only right here and right now, and there’s no one else but you and me. None of the past, just us and this moment.”

My heartbeat thrummed wildly at his sentiment. “Okay,” I murmured as I stared deeply into his eyes.

“And you could never not be beautiful to me. I like everything about you, both inside and out.” At what must’ve been my incredulous look, Cade grinned. “And I’m not just saying that so you’ll let me in your pants.”

“I know you wouldn’t.” Deep down, I knew it to be the truth. If Cade had really wanted to just screw me, he would have attempted it over the past two months.

“I wouldn’t be here tonight if I didn’t want to be with you for the long haul.”

Once again, my heart began to beat so erratically that I felt a little dizzy. “Really?”

He nodded. “You’re all I need, Avery.”

Michel’s Review

Some people learn through the school of hard knocks while others learn by examples. For some people life is a breeze, everything comes easily without much thought.

Everything came easy for Cade Hall. He’s a star football player at Georgia Tech. He isn’t the typical jock, he’s special because he is a triple threat. He has looks, personality, and brains. He’s also a filthy rich, spoiled brat. He has a knack for getting in trouble and a dependency on daddy bailing him out when push came to shove. He has no qualms using his athletic status or flashing his social status to get what he wants. He utilizes every asset and gift he has been blessed with to skate through life. He has never considered how his actions affected other people. He has never had to own up to his digressions. It’s not that he was a bad person, he just isn’t a really good person.

When a college prank lands him in the hot seat, he thinks daddy can bail him out with false threats or a hefty donation. The Dean of Athletics has a different opinion. He has given Cade an ultimatum , he has to do community service, or lose his position in football program for the remainder of his college career. He has to serve forty hours a week throughout the entire summer. He has to work the service around his football schedule. If he screws up, he’s out of the football program. Cade loves football as much as he loves himself.

His sentence is to work at an inner city center for at risk teenagers. It should be an easy gig. What he didn’t count on was Avery Prescott being in charge of his duties at the center. Cade and Avery have a history that didn’t end well. She was one of Cade’s victims in high school. She is the one regret Cade has carried in his soul. Now he has to face the consequences of his actions.

Cade is not only going to learn humility, he is also going to learn humanity. His time with Avery and the teenagers is going to change how he looks at himself in the mirror. He’s going to become a better man. A man that can be respected and admired. A man that learns by examples and takes it to heart.

Avery Prescott finally has the opportunity to make Cade Hall pay for what he did to her in high school. She has moved on from the humiliation and devastation, but she never forgot. The one thing that she did forget is that Cade Hall also had real potential. There was more than the egotistical rich boy that everyone sees. There’s a man with a real beating heart. Still a little revenge is good for the soul. Seeing Cade Hall grovel will bring her great joy. Seeing Cade Hall live up to his potential will make her heart soar.

Can Cade Hall be redeemed? Can Avery Prescott forgive him? Can the two find the love they were meant to share? Will Cade and Avery help change the lives of the teenagers who desperately need someone in their corner cheering them on?

I was drawn into this book with the very first paragraph. I could not put it down. There was an entertaining as well as emotional story that went beyond the typical new adult romance. Katie Ashley has a gift of bringing her characters to life and making their story unforgettable. I mean that in a true sense because some of secondary characters were from a previous book, Don’t Hate The Player, Hate The Game ( which I loved), that was released in May 2013. Three years later these dynamic secondary characters are standing strong and screaming for their own book.

There is a special bonus book, that I mentioned above, at the end of The Hard Way. Katie graciously has given her readers a sensational gift and another fantastic reading experience.

The Hard Way is my favorite Katie Ashley book to date.
