Cover Me

True North Series- Book 1

By Carrie Elliott

Synopsis

Derek Bast, always has the final say. In business and in his personal life, things are done his way, or not at all. So when a scathing review of his new band is published in The Scene and has his record producer second guessing his artistic choices, his band mate trying to call the shots, and Bast’s manager convinced he’s impossible to work with, it’s time to hunt down the source of his problems: Bess Halprin, reviewer for The Scene, the girl next door growing up, and his ex-best friend since senior year when she decided to hate him for no reason.

The last person Bess Halprin wants to see standing in the lobby of The Scene is Derek Bast. Unfortunately, she can’t deny that the last nine years look damn good on him. She expected to hate him. She didn’t expect the way he can still tug at her emotions, or the way his kiss—and his hands—set her on fire. Bess should’ve kept her distance, because Bast was right when he guessed her review was written for revenge. The problem is, to this day he has no idea what he did—how he screwed her over their senior year. The bigger problem? She’s giving him the opportunity to do it again, because she never could resist him.

When circumstances bring them both home to Santa Cruz, Bast earns his way into the heart of the girl next door, but when they return to L.A. and real life rushes in, will he be able to keep her this time or are the mistakes in their past destined to be repeated?

Listen To Me

Ex- boy band pop star, Adrian, was only supposed to be a fling, not a relationship. Now the celebrity gossip reporters are saying that Karen, the older woman who seduced him into giving her a job as his assistant, has trapped him in her cougar claws by getting knocked up! Fine, she’s a few years older, but hardly a cougar. And she might have gained a lot of baby weight, but NO, she’s not having twins, so stop reporting it!

Four weeks out from her due date, Karen is freaking the freak out. How did this happen? How can Adrian, the guy her friends dubbed an unholy emotional robot for his lack of letting anything get to him, take fatherhood seriously? How could having a baby not ruin the career of a man young women lust over? How could he be anyone’s dad and how could she be a mom when she can’t even keep a fish alive?

But when Adrian says, “It’s all good, babe. I’ve got it covered,” Karen should listen to him.

Tracey’s Review

Derek Bast is a rock god. The former lead singer of Generic Obsession, he’s set to make some new music as part of Unholy Union. Until the review. THAT review. The one written by Bess Halprin, Derek’s former friend and neighbor. But this isn’t the same Bess that used to listen to his music from her bedroom window. No, this is another Bess altogether, one that is all grown up, ready to let the world know just what she thinks of Derek Bast.

I really enjoyed COVER ME. I’m always a fan of books with rocker boys, and of best friends to more, too. Derek is one hot-as-heck guy, but what I really liked most about him was how quickly he realized that he wanted to be with Bess, and the lengths that he was willing to go to to show her what she meant to him. Bess is awesome. She’s feisty, smart, and is not about to fall at Derek’s feet now that he’s famous. Because she’s been down that road once before, dreaming of Derek as more than just the boy next door, and giving him her trust and her heart. But he did something to betray that trust, and she is absolutely dead set against allowing him to break her heart again. Now she’s kicking ass and taking names, a successful woman that will not be swayed by sweet talk and hot passion.

Carrie Elliot has done a fantastic job of crafting a relationship between Derek and Bess that is sassy, provocative, and hot, while still showing the sweetness of a longtime familiarity. The fact that they’re able to go back and address past hurts and their current attraction really adds to the story, and it’s easy to see why Derek and Bess fall so easily back into their old relationship. I did feel at times like Bess’ insistence that Derek figure out himself what he’d done to hurt her was going overboard, but the way that he figured it out really was important to the story moving forward, and made the follow-up much more sincere. And, in case you were wondering, there are plenty of super-hot and sexy scenes here. I mean, fan yourself hot. Hot flash hot. Phew.

I always feel lucky when I get a gem like COVER ME, one that enchants me beyond my expectations, and leaves me eager to read more by the author. I highly recommend this book, and look forward to reading more from Carrie Elliot.

Review: Blue Shoes #1 by JJ Knight – Morris Music Series-Book 6

Posted on 09/10/2014 by shellbellereads

Blue Shoes # 1

Blue Shoes Serial- Book 1

Morris Music Series- Book 6

By JJ Knight

Synopsis

Everyone wants a piece of sexy singer Dylan Wolf in the new rock star erotic romance, Blue Shoes.

Jess Rivera is a young music executive engaged to Morris Music’s hottest rock star: Dylan Wolf.

She wears a gorgeous diamond ring on her finger, and everyone wants to know when they’re getting married.

Between Dylan’s screaming fans who chase him everywhere, plus their glamorous L.A. lifestyle, the couple can hardly get a moment alone together.

That’s why they’re planning a secret wedding.

But when a visit to a bridal gown boutique goes terribly wrong, all their romantic plans are ruined.

Sometimes it feels like the whole world is against the couple’s love. Is it just bad luck, or is someone trying to destroy Dylan Wolf?

BLUE SHOES Volume 1 is the first in a 3-part series about Jess Rivera and Dylan Wolf. This is the same couple from JJ KNIGHT’s 5-part REVENGE series, but BLUE SHOES can be enjoyed without having read the earlier books.

Michel’s Review

When I read the Revenge Serial by JJ Knight I was blown away. Each installment ended with a new cliffhanger that had the readers on the edge of their seats. Jesse and Dylan went through an emotional rollercoaster caused by many outside players that had agendas that could ruin both of them one way or another. For Dylan is was recording contract and road to fame. For Jesse it was her career in the recording industry and independence from her farm girl beginnings. I loved how the serial ended and couldn’t imagine there could be more to the story.

JJ Knight, being the brilliant author she is, proved me wrong. There is more to their story.

Blue Shoes picks up about six months after Jess and Dylan became engaged. Dylan is on the road to stardom and Jess is now an executive at the Record Company. Both are heading towards fulfilling and lucrative careers. But those careers could very well tear this couple apart.

Dylan’s new found fame has the paparazzi on their heels all the time. His fans demand his attention and Dylan is digging the adoration. They have decided to plan a secret wedding to keep the paparazzi and fans out of their special day. They want to share it with close friends and family.

The secret wedding plan is turning into the ultimate disaster. Jess is attacked by the paparazzi and her wedding dress is stolen. Her boss wants her to go to Rome for four weeks to deal with their international distribution. Dylan is on the brink of recording a new album and his label is pushing him into the spotlight. Neither one of them has time for a wedding in their present state of existence.

Dylan encourages Jess to go to Rome to escape all the paparazzi. She can find the perfect dress, take care of her career, and he can get the album finished. But can their fragile relationship handle the separation?

While Jess is pining away for Dylan in Rome, Dylan goes off the radar. What happens after that will leave you in shock and dying for more. Right now, Dylan is not looking so good and making me want to kick his butt.

It will be interesting to see what happens next. JJ Knight can twist a story and make the hero look like a villain and then turn it around so we wonder why we even questioned his integrity in the first place.

I highly recommend this serial. There are only three books in this serial. We won’t have to wait too long for the next installment in the series.

Blue Shoes Serial is a Amazon exclusive and part of the Kindle Unlimited plan. If you don’t have a kindle ereader you can download the Kindle app for your computer, phones, and tablets.
