Synopsis

I'd dated his brother.

He didn’t remember and I wish I could forget.

I may have sworn off the Wright family a long time ago. But when I returned home, Jensen Wright crashed into my life with the confidence of a billionaire CEO and the sex appeal of a god. Even I couldn’t resist our charged chemistry, or the way he fit into my life like a missing puzzle piece.

EXCERPT

Her smile was magnetic, and I just wanted to kiss her. I mean…I’d wanted to kiss her all night. But sitting there, in front of the last lit house, with Christmas music playing in the background and her smile radiating joy, there was nowhere else I’d rather be. That thought hit me so suddenly and I didn’t even know why.

I put my truck into park, leaned over to her side of the car, and pushed my hand up into her dark hair. She froze, silhouetted by the light display behind her. Her eyes locked with mine, green meeting brown, and her eyes widened with surprise. She breathed out softly, and I could feel her pulse ratchet up at my touch.

This was the girl who had pulled me across the room at Sutton’s wedding, like a magnet finding its pair. This was the tension that I’d felt when we first spoke. Here was the world of desire and lust that had clouded both of our minds ever since our first kiss.

My face was only inches from hers. I wanted to take what was mine. I wanted to claim her mouth and then her body right here in the cab of my truck, like we were young, wild, and carefree.

But, instead, I couldn’t seem to stop staring at her.

She laughed lightly to try to defuse the tension. But it wasn’t possible, and it was a feeble effort.

“Are you going to kiss me?” she whispered boldly.

I didn’t need any further prodding. I crushed my lips against hers. It was like striking a match. Our lips moved against each other, desperate with the need to get closer, to have more. She opened her mouth for me, and I brushed my tongue against hers. The groan that emanated from deep in the back of her throat made my dick twitch. Our tongues volleyed for position. She was just as aching for attention as I was.

I heard the click of her belt buckle, and soon, she was pushing her body closer, moving over the divide of my truck. My hands fell to her ass, and I effortlessly hoisted her up and into my seat. She squeaked in shock but didn’t break contact. Instead, she straddled me and let her hands wander across my chest.

My hands never left her ass because, damn, did that woman have an ass. She was grinding up against me, and I moved into a full-blown hard-on at her ministrations. She must have realized what she was doing to me because, when she swiveled her hips in place, she moaned against the feel of my dick.

In that moment, I didn’t give a shit that we were acting like teenagers, parked outside of a stranger’s house, bucking against each other for just an ounce of satisfaction. I was ready to strip her bare and fuck her until she forgot every word to every Christmas song and only remembered my name.

That was, until she rocked back just a little too hard, and a loud honk erupted from the hood of the truck.

Release Blitz & Review: "Royally Matched" by Emma Chase

RM-FB-on-sale-5







Royally-Matched-3D-book
Title: Royally Matched (The Royally Series Book 2)
Author: Emma Chase
Release: February 21, 2017


Synopsis

Some men are born responsible, some men have responsibility thrust upon them. Henry Charles Albert Edgar Pembrook, Prince of Wessco, just got the motherlode of all responsibility dumped in his regal lap.

He’s not handling it well.

Hoping to force her grandson to rise to the occasion, Queen Lenora goes on a much-needed safari holiday—and when the Queen’s away, the Prince will play. After a chance meeting with an American television producer, Henry finally makes a decision all on his own:

Welcome to Matched: Royal Edition.

A reality TV dating game show featuring twenty of the world's most beautiful blue bloods gathered in the same castle. Only one will win the diamond tiara, only one will capture the handsome prince’s heart.

While Henry revels in the sexy, raunchy antics of the contestants as they fight, literally, for his affection, it’s the quiet, bespectacled girl in the corner—with the voice of an angel and a body that would tempt a saint—who catches his eye.

The more Henry gets to know Sarah Mirabelle Zinnia Von Titebottum, the more enamored he becomes of her simple beauty, her strength, her kind spirit…and her naughty sense of humor.

But Rome wasn’t built in a day—and irresponsible royals aren’t reformed overnight.

As he endeavors to right his wrongs, old words take on whole new meanings for the dashing Prince. Words like, Duty, Honor and most of all—Love.




My Review
4 Star ****

This is a thoroughly entertaining modern day fairytale with all the pomp and circumstance of a historical romance. Young Henry is a wild, devilishly handsome and fun loving royal who finds himself unwittingly cast into the role of Crown Prince. Boorish and unwilling to commit to the responsibility thrown at him, his grandmother and Queen banishes him to the country castle and tasks him to become better acquainted with the politics of Wessco. Instead he decides to make a game of his rakish ways. I loved the originality of this premise. The last thing you expect in a Royal romance is a reality TV game show. He has no real intention to find his future queen on the set but he does intent to have a randy time and enjoy playing his part. Can he make the girl and a country fall in love with him? It makes for light hearted fun peppered with a few poignant subjects such as PTSD, domestic violence and archaic laws. Most importantly it is a coming of age story. We get to watch a boy become a man and a man become a King.

Review: "Turbulence: A Cocky Pilot Romance" by Whitney G



Info

Title: Turbulence: A Cocky Pilot Romance 
Author: Whitney G
Release: August 30, 2016

Purchase Link:  http://amzn.to/2hUXoQW


Blurb

Fuck me recklessly
Kiss me harder.
Take me again and again… 


He and I met under a cloud of clichés:
Boy meets girl. Boy charms girl. Boy fucks girl.
Our story was supposed to end right after the orgasms, right after we went our separate ways.

But then we saw each other again…
And neither of us could walk away.

Our rules were simple.
Our passion was scandalous.
Our hearts were supposed to be safe…

But when you find something so all-consuming—something so intoxicating and inescapable, you’ll risk everything you’ve ever had, even if you’re destined to crash and burn.

This is us.
This is our messed up love.
This is turbulence.


My Review
4 star ****

Turbulence was a wicked wild ride. Sexy and fast paced with intrigue to keep you guessing about each character’s secrets. Jake is devilishly handsome and very unattainable. I like my men a little on the “jerk” side so of course I loved him. I found myself both rooting for Gillian to break him while hoping he couldn’t be tamed. For me however Gillian was the star of the show… our broken girl. She was an oxymoron in stewardess clothing. She was strong and fragile all at once. Beaten down by the people in her life and struggling to prove that she was worthy of their love and respect. She had my respect from page one. Walking away and not letting one of those aholes force her into the being the person they expected her to be. Every single person (aside from her roommate) wanted her to fit into a box, from her parents and siblings to Ben and even Jake, and although caving would have been the easier route she kept picking herself up.  Being knocked down is nothing to be ashamed of… as long as you keep getting back up and fight to stand your ground. I think she did this the entire book and in the process she forced the people in her life to see her but most of all respect her. That’s what a heroine needs to be.

My one and only problem in the book was that I felt a few of the sub-plots weren’t worked out to conclusion for me. At least not the one’s with regard to Jake. I needed more closure or explanation. I think the book would have benefitted from a well worked epilogue or perhaps needed one more chapter to bring everything together. The author realized this after the fact and she released a separate short story to serve as an epilogue. Which both annoys and elates me and is next on my “to read” list. Hoping that clears everything up.


Whitney G just keeps getting better and better. The little story inside a story twist in this book was unexpected and fun. The sex was hot but the emotional entanglement and push-pull of the main characters and the mystery threaded throughout the story are what keep you completely compelled. I can not wait to get my hands on her next book!

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.

Review: "Silver" by K.A. Linde





Title: Silver (All that Glitters Book #4)
Author: K.A. Linde
Release: September 29, 2016 


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.


Purchase  



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. ;)

Title: Emeralds (All That Glitters Book 3)
Author: K.A. Linde
Release Date: November 16, 2015 



Synopsis

Walking away from him was easy.

The first time at least.

Then he shows up late one night at Trihn’s ballet company, and all bets are off. Trihn knows that she should be careful. But when it comes to Preston Whitehall, she throws all her carefully constructed reasons for not dating out the window.

He’s cunning, charming, and hot as sin. And he knows exactly how to use those qualities to get what he wants. Soon, Trihn is dragged deeper and deeper into his rapidly intensifying whirlwind.

But where a storm is brewing…destruction and devastation follow.

Find out how Trihn goes from prodigy to party girl in this sexy full-length prequel to Platinum in the USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde's All That Glitters series.





Exclusive Excerpt
  
Excitement was already coursing through her body at what she was about to see. She had seen many ballets, but each time it was as if she couldn’t breathe when watching. She could judge their movements, the precision behind their leaps and turns, and the extension of the men and women onstage, but all of that would seem to blur. She would just get lost in the dance. That was all that mattered.

The lights dimmed, everyone rushed to get to their seats, and then the curtain rose, transporting the audience into another world.

Trihn sank back into her seat just as the first ballerina floated onto the stage. As she reveled in the performance, Preston ran his hand up her arm and to her shoulder, sending shivers down her spine. She glanced over at him, and he had this dirty smirk on his face. He wasn’t even watching the ballet. His eyes were solely trained on her.

She swallowed and stared forward, but her attention was torn. His fingers brushed her long tresses off her neck. The palm of his hand pushed flat against her skin and went up into her hair. He gently pulled it, and as her head dipped backward, her eyes closed of their own accord.

With his other hand, he laced their fingers together, bringing her hand to his lips. He tenderly kissed each knuckle before drawing her thumb between his teeth. She inhaled deeply.

He seemed to be enjoying himself as he kneaded the muscles in her neck. He leaned forward toward her and planted a soft kiss on her shoulder.

“Keep your eyes open. You don’t want to miss a second of this,” he breathed softly.

Dear God! He was teasing her. This was sweet, blissful torture.

She could hardly concentrate. Keeping up with two things at once, when one was tempting her with everything she wanted, was harder than it seemed. As the ballet drew to a close, she was glad that she had seen it before or else she would have been entirely lost as to what had happened during much of the performance.

The curtain dropped unexpectedly, bright lights flooded the auditorium, and Trihn jolted upright. Preston sat up straight, as if he hadn’t just been working her into a frenzy with the lightest touches imaginable. The smirk on his face was the only indication that anything was amiss.

As the curtain rose and the dancers began to take their bows, Trihn stood on shaky legs to give the ballet that she couldn’t remember a standing ovation. Preston applauded at her side. They clapped until everyone left the stage, and people started filing out.

“Hey, we’re not done,” he said. The words were suggestive and were accented by his hand squeezing around her waist.

“Oh?” she managed to get out.

“Come on. I think you’ll like this surprise better.”

            “Why is that?” she asked.

            “Because I’d like to finish what I started.”
