Excerpt

 

“I’ll save myself from further embarrassment by cutting in.” His voice was deep, and I caught his scent before I saw him. Jack smiled at me and made a face like he’d gotten in trouble.

“I’m off to get Arlene some more wine.” He elbowed Cole in the ribs. “She gets a little randy after she’s had a few.” He laughed and scampered away to find his wife while Cole rolled his eyes in disgust.
He took my small hand in his big one, and my entire body flushed with heat at his proximity. Our hands had never touched before. If anything, he did his best to avoid any sort of contact with me.His skin against mine was electric.Just our hands touched, but it felt as if he was touching me everywhere.He laced one arm around my waist as the notes of another ballad filled the room. We were dancing like old people, my hand in his, his arm around my waist, and my other hand resting on his shoulder.

That big, broad shoulder hidden behind his tuxedo coat.

My fingers flexed involuntarily, and I couldn’t help but notice how hard his entire body was beneath that sexy tux. My mind wandered and my mouth watered as I thought back to that picture I’d seen of him wearing just his swim trunks. That mental image mixed with the man in the flesh sent an aching need right to my core.

He pulled me just a bit closer to him, surprising the hell out of me, and I felt something rigid pressing against my hip.

Holy. Shit.

Was he as hot for me as I was for him?

No way. There was no possible way.

But his erection digging into me told a completely different story.

“What was my father telling you?” he asked in a deep rumble. I looked up into his eyes.

God, he was handsome. His milk chocolate irises had golden flecks in them that I’d never been close enough to notice before, and his breath smelled of peppermint.

I couldn’t think when I was this close to him. Words caught in my throat.

“That bad?” he asked. I sensed his nervousness.

I cleared my throat and broke our eye contact so I could think. “Just a proud father bragging about the time his son took off his clothes in a department store.”

“God. He tells everybody that stupid story. I’m surprised this is the first time you’ve heard it.”

I smiled. “It’s not so bad.”

“I was ten.”

I choked on my laugh as I tried to hold it in.

“It’s okay. You can laugh.”

I didn’t hold back, and even Cole chuckled along with me. I couldn’t help the joy that filled my heart in hearing even a small chuckle out of the man who was in a perpetual bad mood.

I made the mistake of looking up at him as we both laughed. When he smiled, adorable little crinkles outlined his eyes and he had a tiny dimple in just his left cheek. He looked carefree and young, ten times more beautiful than he had just moments earlier.

But when our eyes met, the mood instantly changed.

Neither of us was laughing anymore. Instead, an intense heat passed between us and the air around us filled with a raw and savage tension.

Twinsie for the Day

Review by Becky

Wow…..what a twisted tale Emily weaves. An ugly double murder of her parents and repeated rape by the murderer while watching the life drain from her parents. A difficult trial that ended up a mistrial and ultimate release of the guilty party. How wouldn’t be all kinds of fucked up and traumatized? Ava had daily nightmares reliving the horrible murders even though she relocated thousands of. Ike’s away.  Unknowingly Ava mets and falls for Seth Carter. A successful attorney with demons of his own and unresolved disappearance of his little brother. Holy shit the connections and twists!
Emily wonderfully weaves story wonderfully. I finally figure out the connections ….about 20 pages before Emily disclosed it.  it was a page turner and a definite must read. Can’t wait to read the next book in the Moving Forward Series. Way to go Emily!

angies review

 

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Ok so this is a standalone and its book 3 buuuut I gotta admit I felt a little bit off in this book.  SO what am I gonna do?  Go and read book 1 and 2…LOL  I just want to put that out there for anyone like me who hadn’t read the other books.  It might make you feel a little outta the loop.

Ember wakes up and soon discovers she has been kidnapped.  Now not the thing you wanna have happen to you for sure.  She essentially tells the kidnappers that she is worth LOTS if alive ad unharmed.  So what do they do?  They sell her to Jager who has no clue who this chick is.

Jager is a hot mess…tortured soul alpha ladies…don’t we love them????  He realizes who she is and is totally keeping her safe because of her who dad is.  It seems that Embers mom took her away from the club life and her dad so people didn’t even k now Roadrunner had a daughter.

Jager and Ember’s story is awesome and I actually am looking forward to going back and reading the other 2 books because I am a huge MC reader and now I wanna know about the other guys I was reading about.  Gotta find me a patch member to claim for myself….damn too bad Ember and Jager worked out *wink*

Prologue

Jager



The sound wasn’t what woke me. I had no idea why I’d stirred in the middle of the night. Usually, I was a sound sleeper.
No, the sound came after I’d already started to wake. I lost the seconds I had trying to place it. It came from the hallway, a mix of solid knocking and rattling.
A picture frame, the answer came to me.
It was only that knowledge that had me moving. There was no reason for any of the frames I had hanging in the hall to make that sound. Not unless…
The door to my room flew open. There were men there, three of them. I didn’t waste time staring. Instead, I scrambled to the side of the bed. I just had to get to the nightstand. There was a gun in the drawer—the gun Dad had taught me to shoot and insisted I have.
I got the drawer open, but never reached my only saving grace. One of the men was on me, grabbing me around the chest and hauling me backward. I fought. I kicked and hit at him, my training lost and raw instinct to fight or die kicking in. Another man came close, and I screamed with all I had.
I tried to fight him back, both legs kicking out, but his partner turned me. I felt the sharp prick at my arm. It didn’t take long. Even as I continued to scream, to try to break away, darkness took over the edges of my vision, closing in until there was nothing left.

When I woke, I was facing a wall covered in its own layer of dirt, broken up only by a rust-colored track of water from a leak above.
Where was I?
I tried to remember, tried to fight the fog to grasp onto anything that would tell me how I ended up in such a place.
I was home, in my room. I’d gone to bed…
The picture frame.
Like a dam breaking, it came back. The men, fighting them off, losing consciousness.
My head swam, my vision hazy. I had to figure out where I was, how to get out of here. I moved, feeling an ache like I had never known through every muscle. Then, a stinging pain in my arm. I looked there, seeing the IV. I followed the cord from my arm to a bag hanging on the wall above my head.
It was only then I noticed I wasn’t alone.
I shot to sitting, jerking back to the wall. But what I saw wasn’t a threat. What I saw was three women, all of them frail, malnourished, and dirty. To my left were iron bars. We were in a cell, me and those women. Soon, I would look like they did.
“Where are we?” I found the voice to ask. My throat was dry. So much so, it hurt to speak. That was when I noted how my skin felt like I hadn’t showered in days.
Had it been days?
“We don’t know,” one—she looked to be the oldest—answered. Her voice sounded as rough as mine. When was the last time they’d been given water?
“How…how did we—”
She shook her head sadly. Beneath the grime, I realized she was, in fact, the oldest—maybe five years older than me, no more. Her dark hair was long, matted, her skin pale, her eyes flat.
“Sometimes, they take us, sometimes…” she trailed off, looking to her side. I followed her gaze to the woman next to her. She was blonde like me, and looked to be about my age from what I could see of her face as she peered over her knees. “Sometimes, we are sold to them.”
Oh God.
My eyes moved past the blonde, terrified someone had given her over to this fate. What I saw hit me harder than anything I had experienced since I’d woken up.
The last woman was no woman at all. She was just a girl. She had light brown hair that needed washing weeks ago. Her cheeks were sunken in. She had been down here a while.
“How old are you?” I couldn’t help but ask.
She didn’t talk, just hid her face behind her hands, the woman who had spoken to me already answered for her.
“Fifteen.”
Fifteen. She was still a child. What were they doing with a child?
What were they doing with any of us?
It was hours before the man came down the hall, appearing in front of our cell. I’d long since dealt with the IV. I didn’t have the finesse to pull the needle free without it tugging and scratching beneath the surface, but the discomfort was worth it when I watched a small flood of whatever they were injecting me with escape. Tricia, the woman who had been talking to me since I woke, told me it was a sedative mix. If I left the IV alone, I’d go back under. I’d already been there for three days. How long I’d arrived after they’d taken me was anyone’s guess. The last thing I wanted was to lose any more time in this place.
Tricia also told me the names of the others. Katia, the blonde, and Sarah, the young girl.
“I’ve been here about two months, I think,” she explained. “Sometimes it can get hard to track how long it’s been. They come once a day with food and water. That’s the only real way to tell time down here.” There was something in her expression when she mentioned the provisions they were given, something disgustingly similar to longing.
“But why are we here?” I asked, not even sure if I expected her to have an answer.
She didn’t respond, but I could see in her face that she did know.
I met her eyes and repeated, “Why are we here?”
Her gaze turned sympathetic, as if she weren’t down here as well, as if she hadn’t been here far longer than I had. She felt bad for me because whatever she was going to share was going to make this whole nightmare worse.
“They intend to sell us.”
Sell us. I wouldn’t even let my mind wander to what that might mean. I forced myself to seal off thoughts of who would want to buy us. I had to keep myself together. Letting my mind go there was not the way to do it.
After that, there wasn’t much to say.
Then, the man came to the cell. He was brutish, large, and outright intimidating. He didn’t say a thing as he approached the metal bars holding us captive. He simply inspected the nearly empty IV bag, seeing I’d freed myself from the line attached to it.
I had no idea if what I was about to do was stupid—whether it would get me punished, hurt, or worse. I just knew where I was was about as bad as it could get. I had to try something.
“There’s a motorcycle club, in Hoffman, Oregon. They’ll buy me. They’ll pay whatever you ask,” I practically shouted at him.
He stared at me, not responding.
“The Savage Disciples. They’ll buy me.”
He walked away without a word.

angies review

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.
This book!! The triangle ….2 men and 1 woman……Faith and Eli….the relationship is amazing but Eli and his addictions ruined it. I mean how long can you hold on to someone who can’t help themselves???
Max….he has loved Faith for as long as he can remember. She is Eli’s so he stays away. He is the carefree never going to settle down guy. He is drinking and having a different woman every night. He has given up on having the one woman he wants but when he finds out Faith is no longer with Eli….he has hope. The two form a loving relationship. No its not the same kind she has with her first love but first love is always harder to get over. First love always burns brighter and with more passions but that doesn’t mean that the first love is the better love to keep once it has returned.
This book is a but rough at times. The alcoholism was not at all glossed over. Faith and her enabling ways was not glossed over. The abuse and all that comes with addiction are hit head on. If these are touchy subjects areas for you, I think you may want to really consider if this is a book for you or if you should pass.
 about the author
I was born in Overland Park, KS, in the heart of Tornado Alley, and my life has been a bit twisted since. Actually, it’s not all that twisted, but I’ve always wanted to use that line. I grew up in St. Louis, MO, went to school at the University of Missouri-Columbia, and moved to Bloomington, IL, fresh out of college, after my husband got a job at State Farm’s corporate headquarters. I’ve worked as a high school/junior college teacher, personnel recruiter, office manager of a jewelry store, and, for the past ten years, as a lunch lady. I like to karaoke and attend rock concerts. I am actively involved at church and spend too much time on Facebook. I am the mother of a eighteen-year-old, and sixteen-year-old triplets, and have been married to my husband, Don, for over twenty-four years.
I have been a writer all my life. My first book, which was co-written with Mary Ellen Murphey in second grade, was titled The Black Cat, and was written on blue hotel stationary, hole-punched, and bound by white yarn. I believe it is currently out of circulation.
When I turned forty, I had an epiphany of sorts. I realized those bigwig publishing houses in New York were now probably run by people younger than me, so I shouldn’t be intimidated by them. At about the same time I was watching one of those award shows, and Jaclyn Smith got up to give a post-humorous award to Aaron Spelling. She credited him for encouraging her to go into acting, saying something brilliant like, “Reach for your dreams.” Nothing new. Almost even seems a little Jiminy Cricketish. But, for some reason, it struck me that night. When Aaron Spelling was thirteen, he was probably just like any other acned thirteen-year-old. But he worked to achieve his dreams, and became a household name. So, I began to write. Once I finished my first book, I wasn’t able to stop. I would rather write than do just about anything else. After all, you get to make people (characters) do what you want and design your own happy endings. What power! What a privilege.

Twinsie for the DayReview by: Becky

What struck me most with The Second Wife is how life can be flipped upside down in a flash. Alisha was abducted by Sayeed, a rich, powerful tyrant. She was broken down, abused and raped. She was married to David and although they had previously had marital issues, they had resolved them and were very happy. Sayeed married Alisha, without her consent or knowledge. She became his second wife.  This story shows how Alisha(now renamed Sara) compartmentailzes her life and functions only to survive. She pushes her memories of David and her Philadelphia life back into the corners of her memory bank.
Alisha is gone for over two years before David  is contacted by someone and that has knowledge of Alisha’s new life. Typical of the evil doings of Sayeed, this “friend” has been forced to do his bidding in order to provide his dying wife the medical treatment to give her as much quality of life as is possible. David tried to move on but could not let go of his memories of Alisha.wishing.wondering.……   Sayeed keeps David under surveillance and provides Alisha with pictures to continue to torment her.
The situation forces David to do what anyone else would do….(with the availability of money)….he enlists the assistance of a mercenary who has a connection and desire to see Sayeed fall.  Pai did a fantastic job making you hate Sayeed and his actions while cheering for the separated couple. Knowing that this type of treatment and environment happens every day to women and children is sad.  Her writing reflects how the broken has to survive horrific events.

Although the ending is as you would expect….for David and Alisha…..the mercenary, Eddie, seems to flash back in the end…..  is this the beginning of a new story? Hmmmmmmmmmm

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

AHHHH  Lady Natalie made me crazy mad in the first book of this duet.  Like I totally hated her and called her a “Lady of unsavory morals”….yeah I know really harsh right but it’s so true!!  But then we SEE her side of the story and I kinda feel bad for her.  I mean she is a hot mess of insecurity and loneliness.  Her one friend, Pippa, she feels had betrayed her so she in turn hurts her.  Mature no buuuut she was hurt that the one person she thought would have her back pushed the biggest knife in her back.

Natalie has loved Knightly for as long as she can imagine. She is going to win his affection no matter what.  She is stunned to be told she must marry Lord Maddox.  She has no clue who he is and begs to have her love considered……unfortunately because he is a man whore, her dad says no way!!  This whole book is Natalie trying and hoping to get a least one kiss from her true love.

Lord Knightly looks at Natalie as a little annoying sister for his best drinking buddy.    When a game played forces a kiss out of him to her, he begins to see this child as the woman she has become.  When he realizes he is not happy to hear of her being married to another he wonders what is happening to him.  He likes his life and woman simple but Natalie is far from simple!!!

Mr. President by Katy Evans

Release Date: October 31st
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Mr-President-Amazon-Ebook.jpg

Synopsis:

He’s won the hearts of millions. But is he willing to lose his?

I met the president’s son when we were both young. Matthew Hamilton was handsome, polished, and intelligent. I’d never met a guy like him.

He promised me that he’d never run for president. I promised that if he did, I’d be by his side.

Three terms later, an invitation to join Matthew Hamilton’s campaign is the most exhilarating opportunity I’ve ever experienced. I’m determined to make a difference; he is determined to win.

Focused on his goal, Matt is steadfast, ruthless, and disarming. All eyes are on him and his popularity is surging. But soon, the next possible president of the United States is possessing me in more ways than one—and despite the risks, I’m helpless to resist.

We’re stealing touches, stealing moments, and stealing away at night. But our chemical connection is quickly becoming dangerously combustive, putting not only my heart, but Matt’s chance at the presidency on the line.

Winning will take everything. Walking away will be the hardest thing of all.

Mr. President by Kathy Evans

I received this book from the author for an honest review.

Charlotte grew up surrounded by politics.  She has since decided that its not for her.  She is working with her mother in a woman’s charity.  She wants to give to people.  11 years earlier, while crushing on the son of the President of the USA, she made a promise to campaign for Matt if he ever ran for office.

Matt is 10 years older then Charlotte but he is captivated by her.  He cant stop this growing feeling toward her.  However, his big campaign slogan is that he is single and married to American so that tends to ruin stuff…LOL

Charlotte is stunned that she is still crushing on the much older and much hotter Matthew Hamilton.  She cant believe the chemistry and slow burn that is brought out of them both when they are near.

This book was a great distraction to real life and politics right now.  I think knowing that the author wrote this book with JFK Jr in mind….makes it all that more yummy.  I mean he is and was a hottie that all woman wanted to be near.  Matt is a perfect example of that in the story.  He is the glimmer of hope in the world….sigh…….

#ReleaseDay #Review #TwinsieForTheDay – The Huntress by Kristen Hope Mazzola and Dawn Robertson

The Huntress

synopsis

I am not a good person. In fact, I am the worst of the worst. I was dragged down into the gutter and have thrived in this seedy underbelly where I was recreated. Reborn as Eleanor McGuire, socialite and Professional Hitman. The filthiest, dirtiest, high profile pieces of shit, I end them. I am a huntress. Corrupt men are my prey.

Dawn and Kristen want to warn you: this is not for the faint of heart! But if gore, violence, and extreme sexual situation are your cup of tea, this is the read for you.

Twinsie for the Day

Review by Jordan

I was gifted a copy.

The Huntress was not what I was expecting but I couldn’t tear myself away. I expected a romance was going to blossom but instead there was death and betrayal. I was on edge the whole time waiting to see who would do what next. The suspense of Ellie’s double life is what made this book what it is. I’m intrigued to see what these ladies will come up with in the next book.

Hi! Thanks for dropping in…

You want to know more about me? Well, let’s see…
I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time “day job” and by night I am an author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world.
Please feel free to contact me to chat about my writing, books you think I’d like or just to shoot the, well you know.

REVIEW

I received a copy of this book from the author for an honest review.

I enjoyed this series the insta-love and suspense was perfect. This was a quick read but was not short on anything else. I didn’t want to put is down until the last word was read and even wanted more.

Carissa’s parents were over protective of her even sent her to an all-girls school in Europe. When she came home to visit they had signed her up for a bachelorette auction which they prechoose the man that would take her on a date. Only problem is they didn’t anticipate Vaughn to spoil their plan.

Vaughn has been after the head of a human trafficker and it landed him at a charity auction. He saw Carissa and outbid the man he was keeping his eye on. He bid on her to save her only now he is in jeopardy of losing his soul to her.

I enjoy an insta-love story every once in a while and this one hit the spot. Carissa was shy and inexperienced but Vaughn was good with her didn’t push her into something she wasn’t ready for. I wanted to head slap Carissa’s dad I mean really who does that.  I enjoyed the epilogue seeing what happens to them both was superb. All the books in the Body & Soul series have been a quick read but pack full of suspense, sexual tension and insta-love. I loved getting to know these hot alpha military males and feisty females.

EXCERPT
Approaching and observing an enemy who was always surrounded by other people who were in the limelight—each with their own security detail—required a shit ton of finesse. Utilizing long-distance observation equipment only got me so far with Alexander Bellamy. I needed a valid reason for a closer approach, and I was determined to find it at this damn party. Almost two hours into it, and I still hadn’t managed to get within spitting distance. But from the way his attention suddenly shifted towards the stage when they announced the next socialite up for bidding, I had a feeling I might have found a way to catch his interest.
Switching my focus in the same direction, I quickly understood his fascination. The girl on the stage was hot, no doubt about it. The innocence shining from her eyes and the blush on her cheeks was an intriguing contradiction to the lushness of her lips and the curves outlined by her tight, black lace dress. When the woman at the microphone who was running the auction circled her finger at her and the girl swiveled on her black stilettos, I felt like I’d been punched in the solar plexus. My breath caught in my lungs at the sight of her bare back. All those inches of skin revealed as the dress dipped down to just above the cheeks of her ass—I didn’t want anyone else to enjoy the sight but me.
The sound of my target’s voice ringing out with the highest bid of the night filled me with horror as I pictured the beauty on the stage ending up dead like the girl in the alley. There was no way in hell I was going to let him get his hands on her and destroy the innocence shining from her eyes. I’d kill him before that happened—but I’d much prefer that waited until I confirmed there wasn’t anyone higher up in the trafficking ring than him. Until then, I just had to figure out a way to keep her out of Bellamy’s orbit. Starting with outbidding him for the date with her he was about to win. Lucky for me, wiping scum of the face of the planet paid well.
“A quarter of a million dollars.”
Very well, judging by the crowd’s gasp and the stunned look of surprise on the girl’s face. Strategically, it was either brilliant or the stupidest decision I’d ever made. But it was a go big or go home moment. Bellamy had deep pockets, and I didn’t want to waste time dicking around with outbidding each other. Making a statement, in a big way, was the most efficient route to avoiding all the back and forth. It also achieved two goals—it garnered me a date with the gorgeous girl on stage and ensured I ended up on Bellamy’s radar. If I’d read his interest right, my prey might very well end up coming to me.
I practically felt the death glare he was sending my way, and I couldn’t resist swiveling my head and flashing him a smug grin as the auctioneer counted down.
“Two hundred fifty thousand, going once. Two hundred fifty thousand, going twice. Sold!”
Bellamy’s eyes narrowed, promising retribution from me for stealing away his prize. My smile widened because I was pleased as fuck about my upcoming date—and because I knew it would piss Bellamy off even more. Reluctantly, I tore my gaze away from his and headed towards the stage, but all of my reluctance was swept away the moment I was looking at her again.
