Book Description:

Three estranged brothers.

One runaway girl.

Sweet and sexy Noah soars as Spartans’ basketball shooting star. Overly protective, bad boy Nathan has beaten the devil and believes he’s invincible. And angry and bitter Jake cannot move past losing his unit in Afghanistan. After suffering personal tragedies, the three brothers barely speak to one another.

Until River.

When she runs away from her abusive foster home, she crash-lands into Noah’s arms. She should feel safe with him, but she is attracted to guys more broken than she. And his brooding brothers Nathan and Jake wait patiently to catch her when she falls. Her relationship with each jeopardizes the precarious balance of their troubled family, and she will either mend their wounds or break their hearts.

*Kiss the Boys is psychological romantic suspense, containing explicit sex. This is the second book in the Lost Girls Collection. The first book is Blackout (steamy psychological thriller) by Chris Myers. Each of these books is a standalone.

Excerpt:

Everything is bitter, the cold outside, the taste of blood in my mouth, and the sting of his belt. My foster father screams at me as he chases me out the door and through the blinding snow. The dark night doesn’t hide my tears for my ex-boyfriend Ashe lying cold and stiff on the concrete of an abandoned building where I left him alone.

I still can’t believe I just left him, but what was I supposed to do? The police would somehow blame me for Ashe’s death. I’ve already had a few scrapes with the law stealing food for me and my half-starved foster sister Mia. She’s only six, but so far, Schafe hasn’t laid a hand on her or the others, just me. The other foster kids fend for themselves and stay out of his way. I'm the only dumb one who provokes him. I can’t help it. He’s an asshole, and I’ll be damned if I’ll continuously allow him to treat me like shit.

She licks those luscious lips, slightly parting them. I want to taste them. I want to dive right in, even when I know it’s quicksand.

That same look of loneliness and pain open up to me. She blinks a few times and lures me into her with her expectant gaze. Her pull on me is strong. I close my eyes to resist, but her feminine scent overpowers me.

When I open my eyes, she chews on her lower lip, waiting on me to do something. I’ve been attracted to angels before but not like this. Ever since I first laid eyes on her, I haven’t really stopped thinking about River. My mind has worked over every word, every breath, and every curve of her body, committing them to memory. Last night, I used my hands to feel and carve her depth and shape her tragic beauty into stone.

I use my knee to spread her legs, cloaked in black stockings, and slip between them. Her skirt hitches up, and I know she’s receptive to me, even though she wore the skirt for Noah. I don’t like that she did that for him. I cannot lose her, and I can’t even explain why.

I tilt her chin back to expose the soft, creamy flesh of her neck. Her breathing increases, and I descend to those succulent lips. My tongue dives into her mouth, and she flicks hers against mine.

She moans and returns my kiss, deep and filled with longing. God, I want her. No angel has ever come onto me this strong, and I’ve never been with any woman who is younger than me. I normally take my time, not only for me but mostly for them.

 About the author:

I love steamy sex that sizzles off the page but also well-developed characters and a solid plot that keeps the readers guessing. Strong, masculine men with endearing qualities and motivated, determined women always get to me. My work has earned several awards including first place Paul Gillette, Colorado Gold finalist, and two semi-finalists in the Amazon Breakthrough Novel Award.

Review: "Silver" by K.A. Linde

Title: Silver (All that Glitters Book #4)

Author: K.A. Linde

Release: September 29, 2016 

Purchase: http://amzn.to/2ddEIfI

Synopsis:

Stacia Palmer had one goal in life--to become an NFL quarterback’s wife.

For the past three years, she’s seduced her way through the university’s football line-up. But when she finally has a quarterback fresh off the draft, Stacia experiences a shocking change of heart. One that sends her back to the place she never thought she'd return to.

Vegas.

Once there, she finds that no one believes her. Least of all Pace Larson, her sexy on-again off-again ex who has never quite gotten over her leaving him for someone else. Of course, he’s now the starting quarterback and determined to claim her as his prize.

But can Stacia give him a second chance when he’s toyed with her emotions into the fourth quarter? Or will they run out of time?

My Review:

5 Stars *****

Everyone has a preconceived notion of who Stacia is. Her one ambition and her biggest goal in life? ... To marry well. To be a football wife. Not caring how many players she has to go through to get there. She can't blame them. She is exactly who they think she is. It's a reputation well deserved but it is not who she wants to be anymore. She has grown up a lot since she started college and watching her best friends changing and growing and finding their own passions in life has made her want more. Years of tunnel vision on the men in her life and not really bothering to worry about her classes and grades have left her with a lot of catching up to do. Can she be more? Can she find something that makes her happy and proud? It will take a lot of hard work and focus to get back on track. Focus that may be hard to maintain when she finds herself living with her ex-boyfriend Pace. The new starting quarterback. Handsome and cocky and her exact flavor of weakness. It's a guarantee that that asshat isn't going to make it easy for her. Geez this year couldn't start out any better. Time to put on her big girl panties and prove to everyone that there is more to her than meets the eye. I absolutely loved being along for the ride as Stacia navigated finally growing up and discovering that she was worth more than being someone's trophy wife. Both she and Pace grow and change so much within these pages. I have loved the entire Glitter Series but I think K.A. Linde definitely saved the best for last!

REVIEW: "Struck From the Record" by K.A. Linde

Title: Struck from the Record

Author: K.A. Linde

Release: June 07, 2016

Synopsis

Clay Maxwell is a smart, quick witted, sex-driven, manwhore with the good looks to match. Plenty of women have shared his bed, but only one has ever been constant, Andrea.

Their rules were simple. When they’re together, it’s just the two of them. When they’re apart, anything is fair game. And it worked. For ten years.

But one of them has changed the game…

Clay must decide if his player ways are worth losing the one girl who has always been there.

My Review  

5 Stars ***** 

 

Clay Maxwell is a sexy scoundrel. Unapologetic in the way he lives his life. A life of  excess. Excessive partying, drinking and woman. He likes it that way. He has it all: the money, the fun, and the beautiful woman at his side who enjoys it all just like he does. Is he a lucky SOB or what? He is the master of the game that is until the rules change…

What happens when you wake up in a hospital bed and everything has changed? You can no longer be the eternal Frat Boy but you don’t know how to be anything else. Do you say screw it and walk away from the one person who has always been a constant in your life? The one person who knows you the best and loves you in spite of it. Or do you man the hell up and fight to keep her? The rules may have changed but he is still a Maxwell and Maxwells don’t know how to lose. Time to battle.

I loved seeing the evolution of Clay in this book. We knew he was Brady’s sexy, cunning and scandalous younger brother… The black sheep of the Maxwell dynasty… but in this installment Linde really peels back the layers so we get much clearer picture of the man and what makes him tick. A closer look at the insecurities and ambition that drives him. We also get a glimpse of the surprisingly fierce loyalty he has not only to Andrea but to his family. Watch out Brady I think your baby brother may be giving you a run for your money in the favorites department. ;)

COVER REVEAL: "Say You'll Stay" by Corinne Michaels

We are very excited to bring to you the first book in a brand new series from bestselling author Corinne Michaels.

Say You'll Stay is a standalone releasing on June 20.

One word.
Stay.

It was all he had to do. Instead, he got on that bus and took my heart with him.

That was seventeen years ago.

I moved on. Marriage. Kids. White picket fence. Everything I ever wanted, but my husband betrayed me and I was left once again.

Alone, penniless, and with two boys, I had no choice but to return to Tennessee. He wasn’t supposed to be there. I should’ve been safe. However, fate has a way of stepping in.

This time around, the tables are turned. It’s my decision. Second chances do exist, but I don’t know if we can repair what’s already been broken . . .

** This is a STANDALONE **
