#CoverReveal – Cross (Gibson Boys 2.5) by Adriana Locke @authoradrianalocke

Cross Jacobs was a screw-up.

Everyone knew it, especially him, and the point was hammered home when Kallie Welch drove herself right out of his life.

But, she’s back.

Seeing Cross wasn’t on Kallie’s to-do list. She didn’t think she could avoid him forever but trying never hurt anyone. One minute she’s standing by herself and the next she’s accosted by a rich, velvety scent that could only belong to one man: Cross.

At face value, he’s divine. All rugged and confident with a smile that melts her right where she’s standing. It doesn’t take long to find him to be charming, witty, and the owner of a few legitimate businesses. Not at all like the mischievous boy she left.

He laughs and her heart flutters. With a touch of his hand, she’s dizzy. She’s fairly certain she’s going to die when he pulls her into an embrace and touches his lips to her forehead.

It feels right. It feels so right.

But is it?

#NewRelease – Promise Me by Reana Malori

Promise Me

Reana Malori

Contemporary Interracial Romance

Blurb

Falling in love is easy.

Staying in love is the hard part.

One day is all they need, to remember why they fell in love.

From the outside looking in, Brandon and Monique Rivera were the perfect love

story. College sweethearts who’d fallen for each other at first sight, they’d been

inseparable from the first day they laid eyes on each other. They were the couple

everyone looked to as the gold-standard and they’re love held strong, even in

the face of family conflicts and long-held beliefs.

After years of loving each other and building a family, the cracks are starting to

show in the once perfect relationship. The reality of life, raising two kids, and

long hours at work, was an ongoing challenge to their marriage. When the nights

are long, and the days filled with chaos, Brandon and Monique must stay

focused on each other, their lives, and their love.

Excerpt

He’d fought tooth and nail over the years to convince her father that being with Monique was not some fetish or phase that he was going through. When he’d met her in college, she’d been a junior and he a senior. He’d known within the first ten minutes of meeting her on the quad, that she was the woman he would marry someday. Of that he was sure. Convincing her of that fact took much more time and effort. She was worth every second of every moment he’d gone after her. Flowers. Dinners. Playlists with all the best sappy love songs. Hell, he was willing to do anything just to get her to smile in his direction.

Shaking his head at the twists and turns their lives had taken, he smiled at the memory of some of the hoops he had to jump through to finally make her his. He spent more time and energy convincing her to give him a chance than he had on his classwork.

Laughing under his breath at how desperate he’d been at the time, he was glad he’d been able to woo her with his charm and wit within a few weeks. Otherwise, he would have failed out of school. Which wouldn’t have helped him one bit, especially with her parents. When she’d finally decided to give him a chance, it had been the best day of his life.

It’s hard to keep secrets in a small town…

It’s even harder to keep a secret that could expose not only your family, but an entire species. That’s what Frankie Cavanaugh must do. As the daughter of the leader of the Wisdom Counsel, it’s up to her to step into her father’s shoes until another leader is chosen.

It’s also up to her to continue her lineage within the species.

She wants to do neither. She considers the shifter gene a curse rather than a gift, robbing her of a normal life. Unfortunately, the Counsel doesn’t see it that way and is determined to wed her to their next leader – by force, if necessary.

Tanner Coalson is fresh out of college and ready to tackle whatever life has in store for him. First item on his to-do list is marrying the woman he has loved for years. He knows Frankie will baulk at the notion because she’s fifteen years older and was his childhood sitter. He’s no longer a young boy, but a man who is determined to win her heart, and he is prepared to do just that.

But convincing her they are destined to be together gets much harder when she is kidnapped by an old enemy. In order to survive, Frankie may have to reveal her secret, and Tanner may have to accept what seems impossible, or reject the love of his life.

Talon Cavanaugh stood on the grassy knoll above the cemetery, watching the procession as it wound through the cracked tombstones to the final resting place of the Wisdom Council’s leader, Leonard Cavanaugh. He smiled in satisfaction as the urn was laid into the dirt pit next to where his human wife would someday reside. Soon, he thought, soon all would be in place and he could claim his birthright.

“Son, I know how much you loved your uncle. Are you sure you don’t want to go down and join in the ceremony?” his father asked.

Well, the man he had called ‘father’ for most of his life, inquired. It was only on his mother, Sylvia’s, death bed, that Talon had learned the truth. He was the son of Leonard Cavanaugh, the owl leader of the Wisdom Council, who had died never knowing he had fathered a son. Sylvia had wanted to ensure the bloodline stayed pure when it became apparent that the old fool was planning to wed that woman, Paige, an inferior human. Sylvia had slipped a potion into his wine as the family celebrated her engagement to the leader’s brother, Lester, Talon’s assumed father.  Leonard Cavanaugh had mated with Sylvia that night, the potion making him hallucinate that he was with his beloved Paige.  Sylvia’s plan worked, and she gave birth to Talon, who was a pureblood shifter, keeping the bloodline intact.

Glancing over his shoulder, Talon shook his head in the negative at Lester. He had no need to go down there. He was the true heir to the leadership position of the Council. He knew the death procedure –  one year of grieving for the widow and the family. He looked to Frankie Cavanaugh. She was a beautiful woman, despite her human blood. Her red hair glowed like flames in the sunlight. She was appropriately dressed in black, her cultural brooch, made of gold and the feathers of her father, pinned to her breast. She was crying quietly into a handkerchief, hugging her mother, in solace. It was almost a pity she would have to die, but there could only be one true leader.

And that position would be filled by him.

#ReleaseDay – One More Night by Jenika Snow

 

 

 

 

When my sister passed away I adopted her daughter, Dolly, and raised her as my own. We were all we had left in this world and I was going to try my hardest to make sure she never wanted for anything.

That’s why I needed someone I trusted to watch over the most important person in my life. Being a businessman meant I was out of the house a good portion of the day, a necessary evil to provide for Dolly. A live-in nanny would ensure Dolly got the best care possible when I wasn’t with her.

And when I saw Emma for the first time I didn’t just see a caretaker for Dolly. I saw a woman who had every caveman instinct in me rising up like a primal beast. I felt possession and need for Emma the likes of which I’d never experienced before.

I didn’t just want a nanny anymore, I wanted Emma … all of her.
She might think this was just another job, but before our time was up Emma would realize she was mine and I wasn’t letting her go.

 



Warning: Guys, this book is going to give you whiplash for how insta-crazy it is. Talk about a hero who can’t keep his hands off his woman! This may look like a sugary sweet read—and it is—but make no mistake: it’s filthy as hell. We have one alpha hero who instantly falls for the heroine and won’t let her go. Maybe a little obsessive, but hey, that’s what we like.

His other hand pressed against my lower back and I gasped from the searing heat of that lone touch. When he pulled me closer, I groaned, his erection pressed against my belly. We were both frantic with need then, unable to stop what was about to happen.
“This is going to happen,” he said harshly and I could only nod in agreement.
“It’s crazy fast.”
He grunted. “It’s fucking perfect.”
When he broke the kiss to remove my clothes, I didn’t stop him. Once the material was gone our mouths were latched back together. Eyes closed, body lost in feeling, I brought my hands to the front of his slacks and fumbled with the button. I needed him naked, needed him to be pressed up against me in all his hard, powerful maleness.
His erection pressed demandingly against his slacks and all I could think about was what it would feel like to have him inside of me. He kissed me with so much demand I was helpless. Never removing his lips from mine, I was vaguely aware of the sound of his zipper being brought down. And then I felt the scorching-hot length of him press against my belly.
A moan ripped from me.
I had my hands on his shoulders, my nails digging into his body. I needed him impossibly closer. My bra still covered my breasts and I wanted the offending fabric gone. I wanted to feel his skin against mine.
“I need you naked,” I whispered, and pushed his shirt up almost frantically. The air left me when I glanced down at his hard chest. Tattoos covered his golden, muscular flesh.
“I need to have every part of your body on display so I can fucking own it.”
A shiver worked its way over me after he said those deliciously dark words.
I lowered my gaze down to his hard cock and swallowed. He was hung like a fucking monster. Before I could drag my gaze from the sight of his stiff dick, he had his hands pressed right below my ass and was lifting me. He held me for long seconds as he fucked my mouth. And there were no other words to describe exactly what he was doing.

No Limit

by Susan Hayes

The Drift, Book 5

Genre – Sci-Fi Romance

Blurb

Three hearts. Two worlds. No limits.

Tyran Varosa and Braxon Torr are on a mission. Find an inhabitable planet. Start

a new colony. Escape the archaic rules and traditions of the Vardarian

homeworld. They never expected to find their mate along the way, and they

never imagined she’d be a diminutive human female with pink hair and a

warrior’s spirit.

Phaedra Kari has been called a lot of things in her life: trouble, cyber-jockey,

lunatic, hacker, but never someone’s mate – not until an alien prince and his best

friend arrive at the Drift. She’s got plans of her own, and they don’t include

mating anyone, not even a pair of gorgeous aliens whose every touch tempts her

to say yes.

When corporate backstabbing progresses to real-life murder, these three will

need to come together to ensure the survival of their plans, their friends, and

each other.

Excerpt

The crowd suddenly hushed and she stopped talking to focus on the scene unfolding

in front of her. The door to the newly arrived ship had opened, and a hot as hell male

walked through it. At first glance, he appeared almost human, with short, black hair and

a neatly trimmed beard. His skin was a shimmering silver, though, and he was taller

than most of the humans and Pheran present. Another male followed after the first, and

she had to bite her lip not to sigh in appreciation. The second male was a little taller and

broader than the first, and his skin had a golden sheen to it. His hair was long enough to

be tied back, but his beard was as closely cropped as his silver companions.

“They don’t look much like aliens.”

Zale grunted. “Maybe not to you.”

That was the moment both males unfurled their wings. Holy fraxx. They had wings! “I

take it back. Wings are definitely alien.”

Power Play by Chelsea Camaron and Ryan Michele

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

When the last book ended we see the beginning of Pax and Laurel.  Just that final scene alone tells us their relationship will be volatile in the best of ways!!  I mean to show up waving a gun at the man you love…that shows passion, right????

Pax has loved Laurel as long as he can remember.  She never looks down on him for being an orphan and has always been the light to his dark world. When his underworld dealings come crashing into her life, he does all he can to protect and FINALLY Claim what is his….HER!

Laurel has loved Pax as long as she can remember but his hot and cold plus the shredding her young heart has always made her heart guarded when he is near.  When Pax takes all of her money and kidnaps her, she is none to thrilled even IF she is 110% in love with him.

The dynamic of the two is awesome to read.  They both keep each other totally honest and open even when they don’t want to admit what they are feeling.   When Laurel learns of the danger she is in, she trusts Pax to keep her safe and even opens to heart to all the love she has for him.

Pax finally gets the girl of his dreams to FREAK OUT but gotta love Laurel for not letting him back to quickly.  She is going to make sure he knows she is in control even after everything he did to her and for her.

The build up for Dane’s books had me very interested in seeing what our favorite assassin has going on to make his cool demeanor all stressed out.

#NewRelease #review #Taboo #MayDecemberRomance #OlderManYoungerWoman #TwinsieFavoriteAuthor – My Boyfriend’s Dad: A Forbidden Romance by Jade Jamison @JadeCJamison

My Boyfriend's Dad: a forbidden romance

What I desire is something I shouldn’t have…

Everything about my life is crap—except for my relationship with my boyfriend Brendan. He’s sweet and thoughtful but maybe too much so…because he won’t take what I’m freely giving him: my body.

On my eighteenth birthday, Brendan’s dad Logan pulls me into an embrace that seems to last longer than it should, setting my mind racing with desire and thoughts of forbidden deeds, things I shouldn’t crave. The last man I should want is my boyfriend’s dad—and yet I can’t get him out of my mind. Of all the guys in the world, Logan is the one male off limits to me.

Except this older man is in my every lustful thought, driving me to distraction.

I think I could get over this crush—except I discover his feelings for me are not so innocent, leaving me torn between loyalty and desire…

Goodreads

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

WHAT!!!!!!!!!!! Jade GUUURL!!!  The sexual chemistry was oooooffffff the chain in this book.  OMG I wanted to sample some of that tall drink of water AKA Her Boyfriend’s Dad AKA Logan.

Bree goes through a lot in this book.  She loves her boyfriend Bren but why wont he take things further with her *wink*.  I mean what teenage boy turns down a willing girl???  UHM not many but Brendan is all about “waiting”.  Bree seeks advice from Logan, Brendan’s dad when things start to change and develop between Bree and him.

The two have some great chemistry and when things “progress” for Bree we can see and feel the guilt she feels.  She cheated. Period.  She cheated, and it will destroy her boyfriend.  It will destroy their future.  As the book progresses, we can see Bree is really conflicted about both the men in her life.  She loves Brendan but why is she thinking about Logan.  Why does being part from Logan make her so sad.  Why is Brendan still not interested in her???

When things start to come out about Brendan’s reasons for waiting we think Bree and Logan MIGHT have a chance when a BIG Plot twists is thrown at us.  I have to admit I felt so bad and sad for her with her new possible reality.  But I still loved Logan and was praying to Sweet Baby Jesus to find away for our couple to be together.

The final chapter of the book was GREAT!!  I loved the time hop.  We got to see what everyone was doing and how everyone was feeling after a couple of years have passes.  I kinda hope we might get a book about Brendan because he is a great character plus his HEA looks like a great read!!

Jade C. Jamison

For years, Jade C. Jamison tried really hard to write what she thought was more “literary” fiction, but she found herself compelled to write what you read by her today–sometimes gritty, raw, realistic stories and other times humorous, light tales–but most of the stories she writes revolve around relationships and characters finding their way through life. While she doesn’t confine herself to just one genre, nor is there a nice neat label for what she writes, most of her work could be called erotic romance. Her main writing passions include rock star romance, romantic comedy, and romantic suspense.

She lives in Colorado with her husband and four children.
