STANDALONE CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

I let him steal my breath and I want to give him my heart too.
But it’s complicated.

Internet dating and Callie St James do not go together.

25.
Desperate for sex.
Earns shit money waitressing while desperately trying to get a publishing deal.
Only does yoga to keep core muscles strong—trust me, guys thank me.
Reads too much because gets no sex.
Did I mention desperate for sex?

She’s about to give up on love when the guy she’s been lusting after for a year breaks her three month sex drought.

Luke Hardy.

Mysterious, moody and all alpha, Luke is hiding a secret—one that Callie never saw coming.

The secret, however, is nothing compared to the discovery she makes about Luke’s family when she starts a new job at the local paper. Callie finds herself caught between her morals and her desires. Whichever path she chooses, someone will lose. Is she ready to give up the man she’s just found or will she go against everything she believes in so she can finally have the love she’s always dreamt of?

This story contains all the panty-melting sexiness and alpha goodness that Nina Levine books are known for.

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

4.5 rounded up to 5

This was a new contemporary series by Nina Levine and even though I love her biker series this one really grabbed my attention and I think I will be enjoying it just as much. We are introduced to Luke Hardy and Callie who do nothing but argue and have wore on each other’s nerves for the past year.

Luke owns the bar where Callie’s BFF works and Callie is a writer who had been spending her time trying to find her perfect man via internet dating which drives Luke crazy. After all this time these two butting heads they finally give into what they both really want and hook up and both start to open up to each other. WOW I never saw those past coming. To say I’m shocked about Luke’s past is an understatement. I love Callie for sticking to her guns and morals. I love that they take things slow and get to know one another before taking things to the next step until Luke can get his situation figured out.

Then Holy crap when Callie gets the job at the news paper and she finds out what she does and then does what she does gives me so much more respect for her but breaks my heart for what she loses. She has lost so much in her life and now to lose more was a punch in the gut. To see her so sad was just heartbreaking. I do have to say I loved how Luke supported her and praised her something she never received before. My favorite line in the book is when Luke is describing Callie because he could so be describing me to a T. I absolutely loved Luke’s mom, brother Tyler and Callies BFF Avery.  I cannot wait to see more of Tyler and Avery..OK I really hope we see more of Tyler and Avery.

A few of my favorite lines:

I’m convinced Callie could talk under water.

Surprisingly you love both county music and heavy metal; and you prefer to support indie artists rather than mainstream. You don’t back down easily when you’re passionate about something or believe you’re right, but you will begrudgingly admit when you’re wrong.

I’m like a dazed teenager around you.

“And I’m like a fucking horny teenager when I’m around you, Callie.”

There’s no harm in asking for what you want, Luke. It’s time you started putting yourself first. Live a little. God knows life flies by so fast that if we don’t make ourselves happy while we have the chance, we’ll grow old in a puddle of regret.”

One year after Jacob “Smitty” Smith is stood up at the altar, his good friend Jules encourages him to redeem his honeymoon package before it expires. Reluctantly, he agrees, and finds himself sitting beside free spirit Sloan Talbott, who is attending her sister’s destination wedding at the same resort. Both have been hurt. Neither is looking for love. Will one week in paradise be a fling to remember or could it possibly lead to something more?

Goodreads

AWWW Smitty!!  Lemme tell ya..this man stole my heart is Jules book.  Then to SEE he was getting a book….Imagine me being a crazy girl jumping up and down.  Yes I wanted Smitty to find love.  SO imagine my shock when I SEE that the beginning of the book he is getting married.  *Insert wrinkled eye brows*  Unless her name is Angie, this won’t do!!

Smitty has found his one love.  I mean I was even shocked to hear about their whirlwind courtship and pending nuptials but it just SEEMED right.  It seemed he found his one…until Jules dropped the BOMB that Caroline isn’t coming.  My heart was breaking for my man in the first chapter.  NO NO NO not my Smitty!!!  Why would this woman leave.  He is perfection …in my eyes anyway.

So fast forward a year later and Smitty is still hurting.  He hasn’t had the heart to remove Caroline from his life so to speak.  He looks at her photo every morning and is still hurt by her departure.  Jules has had enough.  She FORCED Smitty to go on his trip…..errr…..his honeymoon because the trip hasn’t yet expired.  She packs his bag and ships him off to Jamaica for the week.

Sloan is going to Jamaica to see her little sister get married.  But before she can leave she has to go and visit a grave sight of someone she loves dearly.  Her husband.  She hasn’t been able to move on in over 5 years since he died.  Her love for Cooper is so strong and she is happy, or so she thinks, with her life the way it is.

A simple seat assignment on a plane has the two meeting and forming a connection.  I gotta say there was something SO RIGHT about Sloan and Smitty the more and more we saw them together.  They were like two missing puzzle pieces.  They just FIT!

When the story starts to unfold and we learn what happened to Coop and then why Caroline doesn’t show for the wedding.  OMG I dunno which story made me sadder.  But the things that REALLY BROKE Me was when Sloan leaves Smitty because of her involvement with Caroline…OMG….DESTROYED!!!

I was a bit mad at my man Smitty but loved when how he owned his heart and feelings.  I loved how he never gave up on Sloan and even assisted is getting her family to help him get his woman back!!

I am so going to miss this guy and these characters but trust me you won’t be disappointed.

*** Now Live! $.99 Release Special ***

I ran away from the glitz and privilege of my famous New York City family to this small-town Texas college to find myself. I didn’t expect to find him…

…the muscular, tatted bad-boy who would soon become my obsession.

He was broken, lost, and voiceless … just like me.

His eyes smoldered me with one look.
His touch awakened the woman inside me.

And through his lips, his perfect, plush, kissable lips, he drew out the inspiration deep in my soul I did not know was there.

I needed to believe that he could save me. I wanted him to help me find my voice at last … the voice that would set me apart from my tragically perfect family, the voice that would finally break me free …

If only he could hear a word of it.

The College Obsession Romance series centers around a group of friends and the relationships they form during their time at a small-town Texas school. They are angsty, steamy new adult novels with HEAs and NO cheating. Although they are obsession-themed romances, there are no stalkers or psychos!

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

Holy Smokes! This book!  The dang anxiety and stress of these beautifully flawed characters.  I mean FOR REALZ!!  I was a hot mess.  My stomach was in KNOTS.  I was dying for them to TALK and then KISS let along fall in love!!  GAH!!!!  Well written Mr. Banner, VERY WELL WRITTEN!!!

The book is about Dessie who runs to a smaller Texas university to study theater.  She is a child of theater celebrities and is stuck in the family name shadow.  She wants to hide out essentially and make it on her own.  She spies a talk dark cup of water and is flustered by him. She can’t understand why this stranger has her so mixed up.  When she gets up and sings at a bar, she gets the confidence to stroll over, mic in hand, to sing to him but he LEAVES!!  SAY WHAT????

Clayton is deaf and angry.  He uses his disability to push people away.  He has been broken by a theater women in the past and refuses to go that road again and then he sees Dessie. The way she goes out of her way to communicate with him after learning he is deaf…..yup I said “AWWW”.  He is a mess because he wants to see what happens but he can’t let another woman break him.

People, the FEELs of this book were off the hook.  I was screaming at the character to JUST KISS ALREADY so many times.  Then when we thought our couple was on the right track something or some “skeleton in their closets” came flying out.  OMG they have both been burned and are full of fear.  They want to experience what the other has to offer but fear and doubt can really wreak havoc on a person.

Can I tell you how freaking excited I am at book 2??  OMG Brant…..for real though.  I can’t wait to see this woman who kicks the man whores butt into submission!!!

Tor

My life was mapped out and planned to perfection. I knew exactly what I wanted and where I was going, until I was thrust into his world and ripped from mine. In the blink of an eye everything shattered, proving to be nothing more than a cheap illusion. Now I’m living in this twisted form of hell, where enemies and friends are one and the same. I thought I wanted perfection. Now I don’t know what I want – perhaps not even my own freedom.

Jude

I’m the definition of wrong. I’m violent, I’m greedy, and I stop at nothing to win. I’m a notorious bookie and in my game paying with your life is not just a figure of speech. You lose, collect. I take whatever you have. She’s collateral for a debt, and if that debt’s not paid someone will die. This should be just business, so why can’t I kill her?
Everything is not always as it seems.

Lust. Blood. Lies.

Nothing this wrong should feel so right.

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

So when Stevie told me about this book I was like HRMMMMM.  She is great at writing filthy rockers and awesome paranormals sooooo how is this dark romance gonna be???  In once word : HOLY-MUTHER-OF-GOD!!  OK so I guess that is more of a phrase right???

This book is a hot mess and by that I mean a good hot mess.  Ria/Victoria is  a soon to be doctor who is dating Mr. Perfect soon to be doctor but spoiled brat Euan.  At dinner someone shows to collect the money he owes JP the bookie ANNNNND he throws them is WOMAN as collateral??  UHMMMM who does that?  Oh  a DB that is who.

So Ria is taken as a hostage to JP/Jude/yummy hottie bad boy.  He is NOT happy his lackey took a woman as a hostage.  He doesn’t do hostages.  He just kills ya if you don’t pay up but not a hostage.  So as anyone would do, Ria fights and tries to get away.  This part of the book was my favorite.  You get to see scrappy Ria fighting with Jude and people no one fights against Jude!

As the story progresses, we find out some stuff about the “awesome” boyfriend and his family connections.  Then Jude and newly named Tor (Jude hates Ria)   start to connect and form an understanding along ….with…..falling….in….love?????  Best scene of the book, Tor drunk in the strip club…CLASSIC humor!!!

The book ends with a major cliffy but not the cliff you expected????  I loved it and cannot wait for the next book.  I need more Jude in my life!!

I enjoy the escape writing allows, and fully enjoy weaving a tale and creating crazy characters. When I’m not writing I am cuddling with my two little girls, and listening to my husband play his guitar (swoon). Some trivial fact about me would be: I love the color pink, I adore sloths, and I have a thing for British accents. My biggest fear is completely irrational, but I can’t help it. The thought of the pending zombie apocalypse absolutely creeps me out. I honestly can not imagine a more horrifying way to be blotted out of existence than by the hand of a decaying, oozing corpse.

I hope if you read my books you will enjoy them and will be sucked into the little world I have created with words. After all, writing is the most amazing magic trick in the universe because it allows the reader to crawl inside the mind of the author. If you really think about that … it’s kind of disturbing.

 

Former model Chalise Boudreau returns to Louisiana after ten years and faces an uncertain future. Watching her budget, she’s living with her mother and plans to open a luxury salon, but she fears the community sees her homecoming as a failing, and she knows any malicious gossip will jeopardize her success.

Once bad-boy, now entrepreneur Chaz Riboucheaux is home and trying to rebuild his old reputation. He believes one of his companies, the Magnolia May, a pirate ship, can make Ascension a tourist destination, but the mayor refuses to grant him a lease at the city’s dock.

Chalise and Chaz come face to face at a Twelfth Night party. Years ago, he stood her up and left her brokenhearted. Now her brain is at war with her heart, but her body has a mind of its own. As Chaz leads her across the dance floor, he knows when the music stops it won’t be the end of their waltz. He has questions only she can answer, and he won’t stop until he gets what he wants.

“Forget him,” her adoring father had said at graduation when he spoiled her by replacing her Mazda with a Mercedes. Then he sent her off to modeling school in New York where luck found her. She quickly signed with an agent. Her career took off in a flash, and the thrill of modeling turned into a drug for a year.

But like a catfish flopping around in a boat, her life flip-flopped when her father died suddenly of a heart attack. When she and her mother discovered the estate was nearly bankrupt, Chalise made a new plan. That fall, she started college in New York City and continued modeling. Often when studying, her thoughts would drift. Though they were miles apart, she dreamed of what could have been with Chaz. She hadn’t wanted to believe the worst of him, but her pain poked her imagination in the most antagonistic ways.

Now he was back. She was home.

The pain of the past stabbed at her. Her chest tightened. He could live anywhere. Why had he picked Ascension? His nearness created a tension she couldn’t avoid. She would die of a thousand little cuts. No one need ever know how much she still cared for Chaz. Including her mother.

He was an enigma. An aloofness replaced his tough outer shell. He moved with confident masculine grace—much more appealing than any male model she’d ever dated. He looked way too sexy in a pirate costume. And then there were his business connections. The boy had savvy and brains.

Presley & Jett’s story continues.

Jett Vaughn has one thing on his mind these days – Presley Hart. He will do anything it takes to make her his. At least, he thinks he will.

Presley Hart wants one thing in life – a man who will make her his number one. After being married to a man who never put her first, she swore she’d never settle for second best again. At least, she thought she wouldn’t.

When Jett’s life comes crashing down around him, his flaws are laid bare for all to see. Presley stands by her man but there’s only so much she can do to help him. She loves him and wants to be with him but she has her limits and Jett’s about to reach them.

In the midst of hurt, loss and destruction, can love win out? Can a man who is struggling to find his way, show the woman he loves just how much he wants her to be the one? Or is there only so much a heart can take before enough’s enough?

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

EEEP.  I finished book 1 and jumped right into book 2.  Jett and Presley are a great couple to read….yes you wanna kick their butts every now and again buuuut a fun couple none the less.

The book starts right where the novella stops.  We see Jett and Presley dealing with the news about her marriage to another less then famous rocker Lennon.  Jett is still uber caveman, alpha over his new woman but he is ok with what she hid from him.  Presley is all in with Jett.  She never thought she would agree to date another rocker but Jett is NOT Lennon.

This book our couples faces A LOT of drama  We see them doing a good job coping, fighting, making up and then trying to figure out the next step.  I really liked Presley because she put Jett in his place.  She was honest with his bandmates and manager Tom.  She was only there for Jett.  She could care about anything else.  Her job was him and how to help him along.  She was always telling Jett what he didnt want to hear and sometimes this caused friction BUT she was never untrue to her character. Jett is a romantic at heart but at times his fear of loss made him do things that made us and Presley sad.  However, true to form out rocker would come back and grovel like the best of them!!  LOL

The band mates are awesome guys. I cant wait to read West’s story but I really want to know more about Van.  What the heck is up with him and his anger with Jett????

If I could turn back time…

You know what they say about wishing for the impossible.

My name is Talia Perizkova, and time is usually my best friend. It’s been good to me in the months since I left the man who nearly killed me, and I’ve returned the favor by working hard at Stone Global Corp, even getting promoted to lead one of SGC’s key expansion projects.

There’s only one mar on that record. The night I told time to kiss my ass, during a business trip to Vegas with my bosses–yes, my bosses–and experienced a night for the record books with them both. But what happened in the City of Sin refuses to stay there for any of us, and time has joined forces with his pal, karma, to exact payback where it most matters. In my heart.

Fletcher Ford. Drake Newland. They’re two of the business world’s sexiest, most sought-after bachelors, and I’ve fallen for them both. Their passion is everything I crave, their protection is everything I need–and their love is everything my orthodox family will never let me accept.

The solution, according to them, is simple. One man steps down, so at least two of us are happy.

I could find a way…

But sacrifices are rarely simple, and one plus one doesn’t always equal happily-ever-after. That means all three of us have some huge, hard decisions to make. Take a chance on this rare love we’ve been given…or give in to fear, and lose each other forever?

I received this book for an honest review.

OMG!!  HAWT HAWT HAWT!!  I am a giant fan of this series and these authors.  I loved Kil and Claire’s stories but have loved the additional side characters stories as well.  When we got a glimpse of these three in then Vegas Anthology, I was fanning myself!!  WOWZERS and yummy!!

Drake, Tolly and Fletcher are a combustible MFM trio.  Drake and Fletchers are “brothers from another mother” and they both meet and set their sights on Natalia AKA Tolly.  She is the perfect woman for them.  We see how they “get together” in the Vegas anthology but now it has a couple weeks after the fact and Tolly is freaking out.  I mean these guys are EVERY WOMAN’S DREAM so why would they want her??  Plain and simple frump girl?   I loved how they went to force a confrontation out of Tolly…I was cracking up.  These guys were soooo outta place and super uncomfortable but the will endure anything for their future and that is what Tolly is…their future!!

Tolly loves these guys but her family is not having it.  Her insecurities will not let her be happy and then neither will their other one night stands…they remind Tolly of what she isn’t and what they are…BEAUTIFUL, ELEGANT and PERFECT.  Hey thanks Tolly’s ex Gavin for the mind games!   You’re a peach!!

When the trio finally gives it a 110% all in, someone steps forward to shatter the HEA for the group.  The remaining 2 are left lost and confused.  Will they ever get back to the happy they had or was it all an illusion?

I wanted to kick Tolly’s butt in the beginning because she was soooooooooo unsure of herself but then when I saw her growth from the love of her men …at the gala…. yeah that showdown was awesome but the final show down at the end of the book had my heart so happy.

I loved the guys and just like Tolly I loved them both for different reasons.  They both bring love and warmth to her but they also provided her with some much more.

A bit about me…

I’ve been hooked on books since I was a kid but it got worse in my twenties, when I discovered romances–the hotter, the better. Growing up in Southern California, with lots of surfer manliness surrounded me, was certainly a good boost for reading about delicious alpha guys and the women who adore them. When I learned I had a knack for telling these stories too, I guess you could say I was doomed–though my path toward romance novelist took a few detours via a concert-reviewing gig for my college newspaper (free show tickets…backstage passes…that was a no-brainer), artist interviews for a Beverly Hills dance music mag, personal assistant work for a record producer, dance club disc jockey, and a lot of fun in the hospitality industry.

These days, I still live in California, and have found an amazing alpha guy of my own who was brave enough to marry me. We live on a street that looks like Brigadoon, with our beautiful daughter. I have the best life ever, and never forget to thank the Big Guy Upstairs for it, either.

Victoria Blue lives in her own portion of the galaxy known as Southern California.
