Nomad

Lucifer’s Legion Motorcycle Club- Book 2

By Kelli Maine

Synopsis

I see you.

I know you.

I am you.

He should’ve put a bullet in her head when he had the chance.

When Luc　”Lucifer” Bontrager wakes up to Lilith—the satanic, sociopath bitch he left for dead in　the desert—holding a gun to his head, his first thought is the girl in the club’s basement. That’s how he knows he’s screwed.

He’s lived his life training women for Lucifer’s Legion Motorcycle Club to take over the border and use for profit. Now he’s caught up in the innocent, young girl he’s supposed to hand over to a Mexican cartel boss in a few days. There’s no way in hell he’s letting her go.

But Luc can’t save her if he’s dead, so this time Lilith won’t get away from him alive.

NOMAD is the second installment in the Lucifer’s Legion Motorcycle Club series and continues Luc’s story from LILITH.

Lilith

Lucifer’s Legion Motorcycle Club Series-Book 1

By Kelli Maine

Synopsis

Who am I?
I’m every woman’s worst nightmare.
A taker of lives.
A trainer of slaves.
You can call me Lucifer.

Luc “Lucifer” Bontrager is a nomad in Lucifer’s Legion Motorcycle Club. Traveling chapter to chapter, he brings in big money kidnapping women, training them and selling them as sex slaves. He’s heartless, brutal and all business.

And then he meets his match.

Lilith. Every man’s worst nightmare. A taker of lives. A sociopath on the run.

Inked up with satanic symbols and verses, she’s fearless and completely insane. Luc can’t train her, he sure as hell can’t sell her, and—for the first time in his life—he can’t bring himself to put a bullet in the bitch’s head either.

She’s his worst regret.

Her words and cold, calculating eyes haunt him. She’s the devil on his shoulder, reminding him of all his sins. He should’ve killed her when he had the chance, because when the unthinkable happens and Luc falls for the young, innocent girl he’s training, Lilith seeks her revenge, targeting the only girl he’s ever wanted to keep as his own.

Surrender

Club X Series- Book 2

By K.M. Scott

Synopsis

Stefan March lives for a good time. Born into wealth, he sees everything in terms of what he can have, especially women. So far, life has denied him nothing and no one. When he meets his newest bartender, he instantly knows who his next conquest will be, but Shay’s not like the usual women he collects. To get her, he’ll have to be more than just the player he’s always been.

Shay Callahan is beautiful, determined, and intelligent. She’s got plans for her life, and they don’t include getting sidetracked by a man, and certainly not her wealthy player boss. Her job at Club X is for one thing—money to fund her education—but if she can make Stefan March see he’s not God’s gift to women, all the better. She never expects to find out there’s more to him than meets the eye.

As different as day and night, can these two see past who they think they are to find love?

Michel’s Review

I have to admit that I have never read any of K.M. Scott’s books. When the blog tour for Surrender-Club X came through my email, I was very intrigued with the blurb. I am always looking for new authors to add to my “must buy” list. K.M. Scott is undoubtedly on that list! I loved Surrender- Club X! It can be read as a stand alone novel or in series order.

The Club X series is based around three brothers that own a club where fantasies can come true. Stefan March is the youngest of the three brothers and the one with the most sullied reputation. He has earned the reputation of being a man whore that uses women without remorse. His older brothers are usually left to clean up his messes and make restitution for his escapades. His messes don’t stop him from moving on to the next woman, the next sticky situation, and the next notch in his belt. After all , he knows his looks and charm can land him any woman he wants whenever the whim hits him. He is a bad boy through and through and makes no apologies for it. He has never been turned down and always has his next target in sight. That is until Shay Callahan comes to work at Club X as a bartender. She wants nothing to do with Stefan. She is immune to his charm and good looks. She has her own agenda to focus on and that does not include the man whore boss. With quite a bit of taunting from his brother and a huge dose of sibling rivalry, Stefan has made Shay his next mark. He will do anything to win and show up his brother. The chase is on.

Shay Callahan is a smart woman. She has taken the bartender job at Club X to make enough money to fund her continuing education abroad in microbiology. She doesn’t have the inclination or the time for a self proclaimed man whore. She knows the game well. Stephan’s cockiness and arrogant attitude rub her the wrong way. She wouldn’t mind bringing Stefan down a peg or two and show him how the real game is played.

From the moment these two meet there is combustible chemistry between them. The game is on. As each player makes their move, the sexual tension escalates. The rapport and banter between the two is entertaining, witty, downright sexy, and challenging. It makes one wonder who is playing who.

The more these two are together the more bonded they become. Shay begins to see the true Stephan that he keeps hidden from the world. She sees a man that is much more than what meets the eye. Stephan finds that Shay is the one woman that can touch his soul like no other. These two will have to let go of their agenda’s and give their hearts to one another in order to win the big game.

K.M. Scott did a great job with Surrender -Club X. The story was fast paced, super sexy, with larger than life characters, entertaining dialoge, and panty dropping romance.

I highly recommend Surrender-Club X. I am looking forward to the next book in the Club X series!

About The Book

Cassian March, the public face of Tampa’s most exclusive nightspot, Club X, has a great life. Women, sex, and money are his for the taking, and no man indulges his desires more. Life is short, and he plays hard. He lives by only one rule—never let a woman get close.

Olivia Lucas needs a job, and if that means working at a club that specializes in making members’ wildest fantasies come true, then that’s what she’ll do. A girl’s got to pay the rent, right? She never expected to fall for the gorgeous owner of Club X, though, but a man like him would never go for someone like her. Or would he?

About BECOMING RAIN:

Luke Boone doesn’t know exactly what his uncle Rust is involved in but he wants in on it-the cars, the money, the women. And it looks like he’s finally getting his wish. When Rust hands him the managerial keys to the garage, they come with a second set-one that opens up the door to tons of cash and opportunity. Though it’s not exactly legal, Luke’s never been one to worry about that sort of thing. Especially when it puts him behind the wheel of a Porsche 911 and onto the radar of gorgeous socialite named Rain.

Clara Bertelli is at the top of her game-at only twenty-six years old, she’s one of the most successful undercover officers in the Washington D.C. major crime unit, and she’s just been handed a case that could catapult her career and expose one of the west coast’s most notorious car theft rings. But, in order to do it, she’ll need to go deep undercover as Rain Martines. Her target? The twenty-four-year old nephew of a key player who appears ready to follow in his uncle’s footsteps.

As Clara drifts deeper into the luxurious lifestyle of Rain, and further into the arms of her very attractive and charming target, the lines between right and wrong start to blur, making her wonder if she’ll be able to leave it all behind. Or if she’ll even want to.

About BURYING WATER:

The top-selling, beloved indie author of Ten Tiny Breaths returns with a new romance about a young woman who loses her memory—and the man who knows that the only way to protect her is to stay away.

Left for dead in the fields of rural Oregon, a young woman defies all odds and survives—but she awakens with no idea who she is, or what happened to her. Refusing to answer to “Jane Doe” for another day, the woman renames herself “Water” for the tiny, hidden marking on her body—the only clue to her past. Taken in by old Ginny Fitzgerald, a crotchety but kind lady living on a nearby horse farm, Water slowly begins building a new life. But as she attempts to piece together the fleeting slivers of her memory, more questions emerge: Who is the next-door neighbor, quietly toiling under the hood of his Barracuda? Why won’t Ginny let him step foot on her property? And why does Water feel she recognizes him?

Twenty-four-year-old Jesse Welles doesn’t know how long it will be before Water gets her memory back. For her sake, Jesse hopes the answer is never. He knows that she’ll stay so much safer—and happier—that way. And that’s why, as hard as it is, he needs to keep his distance. Because getting too close could flood her with realities better left buried.

The trouble is, water always seems to find its way to the surface.

Release Day Blitz + Reviews : Second Position by Melody Grace- Dirty Dancing Series- Book 2

Posted on 11/12/2014 by shellbellereads

Second Position

Dirty Dancing Series- Book 2

By Melody Grace

Buy: Amazon / ITunes

Synopsis

Dancing with the perfect partner is like the most exquisite climax of your life.

Can you feel it? The way our bodies rock together. My hands pinning you down, my mouth sliding over your hot, damp skin. Each hard thrust driving deep to that place you never dreamed possible. Every breathless cry hurtling you closer to the edge.

Beyond words. Beyond thought. Beyond reason.

Free.

I’d all but given up on perfection like that. Until I met her. Annalise.

Her body is pure motion; her spirit, a caged bird just waiting to be set free.

I will claim her. I will possess her.

I will teach her the most erotic dance of all.

*Part two of the sexy, seductive romance serial*

Tracey’s Review

As Annalise Taylor and Raphael Gibraldi grow closer, they continue to awaken feelings in each other that will lead them to focus their passion into becoming what they are destined to be. As Annalise opens herself to the passion that Raphael has ignited in her, she finds that she is growing in her art, putting everything into securing her place in the ballet company. Raphael, too, is changing. No longer content to put his dream on hold, and inspired by the fire that he feels when he is with Annalise, he decides to move forward with his plan to audition for the Company.

SECOND POSITION is just as hot as its predecessor, as Annalise and Raphael grow closer, and she allows herself to experience all of the passion that he is awakening in her. And as both grow closer to the realization of their respective dreams, they grow closer too to giving in to the desire that threatens to consume them.

THIRD POSITION, the last installment in the series, can’t come quickly enough. I cannot wait to see how the story ends, and what Melody has in store for Annalise, Raphael, and all of the supporting cast of characters that have made this series such an enjoyable read.

Haven’t started the series yet? First Position is available for 99¢!

Buy: Amazon / ITunes

A man dances the same way he fucks. His stamina, his rhythm, the slow grind of his hips. Some people are born to it, others learn through years of careful study.

And dancers? We do it best of all.

The moment I saw her, I knew. Her innocence is intoxicating. My lust is fierce. Primal. To watch her dance is to know the torment of true temptation.

She will be mine.

Tracey’s Review

For Annalise Taylor, ballet is everything. Groomed from her earliest years to follow in the footsteps of her prima ballerina mother, Annalise is facing the possibility that she has peaked, and that, at 19, her future does not include a career as a famous dancer. On tour with her troupe in Rome, Annalise has one last chance to prove herself and gain the spotlight that she has trained for her whole life. Raphael Gibraldi has come to Rome to pursue his dream of dance, too. Determined to live the life he wants, he has left behind his family and home so that he can follow his passion.

Melody Grace has done it again with her new Dirty Dancing series. In FIRST POSITION, she has created two faces of the same coin in Annalise and Raphael. Annalise is all dedication and self-control, giving up everything in order to be the best and to satisfy her mother by becoming the star in her corps de ballet. Raphael is pure passion. Dance, for him, is a natural expression of his feelings, and counter everything that his family wants and expects. When the two of them meet, a spark is ignited, control meets passion, and both Annalise and Raphael are immediately changed.

Because this series is written in serial format, this was a shorter read, but no less engaging. I love the dynamic between Annalise and Raphael, how they each have things to teach and bring out in the other. Their chemistry is white-hot and immediate, and so palpable that it comes off the page. I cannot wait for SECOND POSITION, the second book in the series, so that I can see how Annalise’s and Raphael’s story continues.

Life Next Door

Love Not Included Series – Book 2

By J. D. Hollyfield

Synopsis

There is only one thing in life that professional pastry Chef Priscilla Westcott values more than baking and wine, and that’s honesty. A quality she soon learns that her marriage lacks when her husband runs off with their next door neighbor.

Divorced and alone, Priscilla is determined to make changes in her life. She decides to approach her new goals like one of her beloved recipes. Surely with a little time, a dash of patience, and measured planning she can whip herself—and her life—back into shape.

However, when a new—and utterly delicious—neighbor takes up residence in the house that ruined her marriage, Pricilla fears that her careful world will fold faster than a deflated soufflé.

Trent Walker knows what he wants and his sweet, sassy neighbor is at the top of the list. He’s certain that the chemistry between them would be explosive, but Priscilla fears that an affair with him, however hot, could be a recipe for disaster.

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble

Tina’s Review

*** ARC Provided by Author in Exchange for an Honest Review. ***

Recently divorced from her high school sweetheart, who was having an affair with the younger neighbor, all professional pastry Chef Priscilla “CeCe” Westcott wants is to get herself and her life back on track, but that’s not easy to do when she’s the poster child for “hot mess”.

A job transfer brings Trent Walker to town and he’s just rented the house next door, the same house that her ex moved into when he left her for the slutty neighbor. To say their initial meeting got off on the wrong foot would be a gross understatement.

First person POV from CeCe that, at first, feels clinical and too much like step-by-step, scripted narrative (much like in a play) but it loosens and warms quickly enough. There is humor and a quirk that makes you smile easily and laugh often. CeCe is a 24/7 Murphy’s Law victim that turns to alcohol when things go wrong. For being 31, she suffers from immaturity, too. Trent is devilish, he has a wicked humor and he’s not afraid to charm you given half the chance. The secondary characters are lively, vibrant and a joy to read. Ms. Hollyfield truly captures the essence of the small-town, busybody nosy old neighbor perfectly; I could not help but laugh, picturing my own mother as Mrs. Humphries. The plot is pretty full and takes some unexpected turns now and again, which is great. The predictability of the cause of major conflict between CeCe and Trent was predictable, but still climactic enough to keep me interested in how things would be resolved. The EXTERNAL conflict was completely unforeseeable, well done! The conclusion is well-covered and solid, leaving no holes or cliffhangers. Overall, I’d say it’s a fresh and fun read with good twists.

The Love Not Included Series

ARC Review: Make You Remember by Macy Beckett- The Dumont Bachelors Series- Book 2

Make You Remember

The Dumont Bachelors- Book 2

By Macy Beckett

Synopsis

He’s about to make his own luck.

Ten years ago, Beau Dumont made the biggest mistake of his life by letting his high school sweetheart, Devyn Mauvais, slip through his fingers. Now the reformed bad boy will stop at nothing to get her back. Even if it means tricking her into taking a job on his family’s riverboat, the Belle of the Bayou.

When Devyn’s old flame offers her a stint at the boat’s day-care center, she sees it as a chance to prove she isn’t just the descendant of Louisiana’s most infamous voodoo queen. Besides, it beats leading ghost tours around New Orleans. Yet when it comes to Beau, Devyn’s all business. She won’t give the sweet-talking playboy another chance to break her heart.

But there’s no escaping temptation in such close quarters, and Beau won’t be satisfied with a few hot nights with the girl he’s always loved. As he strives to make Devyn remember the good times, will his passion and heart be enough to regain her trust?

Buy: Amazon / Barnes and Noble / ITunes

Tracey’s Review

Devyn Mauvais is a little down on her luck. Laid off from her job, she’s doing her best to dodge the bill collectors and still be upbeat enough to put on a good face at her high school reunion. But it seems like Fate might just be playing with Devyn a bit, and showing her who’s boss (Hint: it isn’t Devyn!). Beau Dumont broke Devyn’s heart ten years ago, making her fall in love with him, then disappearing for a decade. But he’s back home and ready to turn back the clock with Devyn, whether she’s willing or not.

MAKE YOU REMEMBER is the second book in Macy Beckett’s THE DUMONT BACHELORS series. I’m a big fan of second-chance love stories, so this one had me from the get-go. The fact that Devyn is completely no-nonsense and strong immediately made her a winner in my book. And Beau, oh, my goodness, he is all man, and totally swoon-worthy. Their banter was playful, snarky, and waaaay hot, always a nice combination in a romance.

This book is one of those unexpected pearls, the ones where I have no idea what to expect, and am immediately swept up into the story and the characters. The humor, the heat, the characters, all combined in MAKE YOU REMEMBER to create a book that I didn’t want to put down until I knew the whole story. Macy Beckett has created two families with unique and likeable personalities, and has done such a good job with Devyn and Beau that I want to go back and read MAKE YOU MINE (Book 1), as well as look forward to future books in the series.

Authors: Ker Dukey & D. H. Sidebottom

Genre: Erotic Romance

Cover Design: Ker Dukey

Photographer: Clyph Jean Philippe

Cover Model: Florian Julien Dutheil

Cadence

Cade.

He had her love. Her devotion. He destroyed her with it!

Years I loved Faye Avery from a distance, watched my brother have something he didn’t deserve. She was always too good for him. Dante had a need for control and that grew with him from childhood, infecting her to bend to his whim.

When Dante abandoned her, the girl who put his future and needs before her own, I rediscovered the girl who lost herself to the heartache. She blossomed and flourished in the light of the love she deserved – until he robbed me of her. Breaking her down, dimming the essence of the woman she had become.

Dante had a darkness inside him that led him down a path of depravity. He was too far gone. He functioned on corruption, humiliation, power and retribution, and all for something that never happened.

What he forgets is this! I not only wear his face, I carry the darkness inside of me too, and my wrath will coat him with it so thick he will drown under the rain of my reckoning.

He wants Star, a memory of a girl he used to know. He stole Faye, a woman who owns my heart and is the cadence in mine.

I will find him.

I will take her from him.

And then I will kill him.

Ker Dukey

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active… I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could of improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I’m not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I’m a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where i love interacting with my readers.

Life works in mysterious ways.

Four years ago I became known as the girl with cancer.

I refuse to cry.

And I refuse to give in.

A relationship with a man is the last thing I’m looking for right now, but one night with Parker changes everything. He is persistent, and he knows what he wants.

Me.

He doesn’t treat me like I’m fragile.

But he doesn’t know, and I’m not ready to tell him.

What if it changes everything?

Tragedy found me when I was seventeen.

Love found me when I was twenty-one.

My name is Aundrea McCall, and this is my journey.

Excerpt

Prologue

Aundrea

Fear. It’s all around us. It finds a way inside, lodging deep within, refusing to surrender. It latches on, following you on this path called life. The way it makes our bodies tremble through our core, perspire with one thought, or makes our hearts feel as if they’re coming to a standstill, causing all blood flow to rush from our head to our toes. It’s the one word that can instantly cause our breathing to become slow and labored, stirring up the worst emotions within.

Suddenly my chest becomes too tight to bear. My legs go numb and my arms feel weak. My heart is beating too fast and, no matter how much I pray for it to slow, and the tight pain to go away, it doesn’t.

I’m gasping for air. “My chest. It’s too tight.” I claw at my shirt, as if I could rip it off. The once soft fabric now feels like fire, burning away my flesh.

“Mom, I don’t think she’s okay!”

“Aundrea?!”

“I can’t breathe. My … tight … the pain … it won’t stop. I can’t feel my arms, or …” Oh my God, this is it.

I fall to my knees.

“Is she having a heart attack?” Panicky, Genna stands and yells for my dad.

Every dream I’ve had, every sense of hope—everything I’ve feared is burning them away right before my eyes.

Death.
It’s easy to forget what matters most when you’re distracted by your deepest fear, which, in my case, is leaving behind everyone I cherish most. Sometimes it’s the most disturbing thoughts that tunnel their way to your core and hold on, no matter how hard you try to shake them.

The afterlife doesn’t scare me. The unknown can be magical when you really think about it. The beauty of possibility.

There are muffled voices around me, yelling and screaming, but my eyes are frozen. I can’t move my head to see who’s speaking. I can’t even be certain where I am at the moment.

I begin to feel like I’m floating and it’s then that I realize I’m being put on a stretcher. There are two men yelling. Why are they yelling? Are they yelling at me?

A cold rush of air startles me as a mask is put over my face. It’s the first time I get a deep, fulfilling breath since this all started.

“You’re going to be okay. Keep your eyes open for me, okay?” one of the men instructs, leaning close to my face.

I try to nod, but he shakes his head. “Don’t try to move.” I go cold, every limb gone numb. Then, pain.

I don’t think I’ve ever felt so much pain in all my life. It’s as if a hundred men are standing on top of me, stabbing my chest with razor-sharp knives. I swear, with each jab of pain I can hear the crack of the blades stabbing deeper inside of me, slowly ripping me apart. Then the pain pierces my heart and I cry out.

“Someone needs to call Parker!” Genna screams.

The men start running and I feel like I’m flying. The wind washes over me and it’s almost calming.

My surroundings go blurry as I’m lifted. Everything is happening so fast. My shirt is ripped open and freezing stickers are placed on my chest.

Cries fill my ears, drowning out the loud banging from the men moving around. I don’t know where I am, but when I hear my mom say, “Parker, its Aundrea. We’re going to the hospital,” I let my eyes drift closed and just pray the pain will stop. And that Parker will get to me before it’s too late.

Author Bio:

I am the mother of two little boys, married to the love of my life, and living in one of the smallest towns in Minnesota. When I’m not chasing or cleaning up after my boys (yes, all three), I can be found writing or snuggled up with my kindle, a glass of wine, and spending time with my fictional friends and family.

I am first and foremost an avid reader! I love to read anything romance from paranormal, young/new adult, contemporary, and even yes, (wide eyes) erotic/BDSM.
