My world changed when I met Bellamy Morgan.
Just one problem — she’s my little sister’s best friend.

synopsis

I’m not “damaged.” No horrible childhood or demons in my past I’m trying to outrun. In fact, my family is ideal — funny, supportive and filled with couples that all follow “our” golden rule:

Find her. Protect her. Love only her, with everything you are, every day, for the rest of your life.

So why is it the mere thought of a monogamous relationship, more than one night with the same woman, sends me bolting in the other direction?

Because I hadn’t met Bellamy Morgan yet.

When I do cross paths with her, everything starts to slowly make sense. Why men change overnight — suddenly blind to all women but her, happy to hold her purse and watch corny movies.

Just one problem — she’s my little sister’s best friend.

Embody is a spin-off, STANDALONE novel from the bestselling Evolve Series.

excerpt

JT

Going to fucking attack her. In the nicest way possible of course, but attack nonetheless.

She expects me to sit still, way over here, when I could be on her in one move? Sliding my tongue over the firm swells about to topple out of her top. Inching those little panties down her long, smooth legs to sink my face into her sweet, bare pussy.

Yeah, this isn’t gonna work for me. My baby’s smokin’ hot body is barely hidden, a few teasing strips of lace the only things standing between me and fucking nirvana. What kind of man would I be if I didn’t show her, Right. Now. How good I can make her feel?

And what has gotten into her? My sweet, shy, virginal Bellamy has gone all wildcat on me…not that I’m complaining, just wondering is all.

She knows I’m looking my fill; her cheeks flushed a beautiful, innocent pink, her chest rising and falling with her shallow breaths. God, I want her. Want to devour every single part of her, slowly the first time—memorizing all the trembles, whimpers and soft moans I know she’ll give me. Then start over, like a fucking savage—biting, sucking and tasting until she begs me inside her, never to leave.

I hear my own deep, frenzied breaths as I adjust my rock-hard cock, threatening to bust out of my zipper. Feeling the leak of pre-cum, the deep, pulling ache in my balls.

“Jefferson,” she purrs my name, uncrossing her legs only to sexily cross them again. “I see I have your undivided attention, so there’s a few things we need to discuss.”

“Do I want to eat you out? Yes.”

She gasps, as though offended, but the sheer lace betrays her, showcasing her nipples that harden into sharp little points, begging for my mouth.

Her lids droop lazily and a desire, need, matching my own shapes her raspy voice. “No, and don’t be so vulgar. We already talked about lying, so we won’t rehash that. We will, however, move on to other behaviors that need rectified. I believe in positive reinforcement and since you speak Mars and I speak Venus, we’re gonna learn to meet in the middle and speak Earth. Thus, my risqué ensemble.”

“I don’t care if we talk in Neptunish, so long as you keep wearing it. Or let me take it off you,” I practically howl, nearing my breaking point.

“The car,” she breezes right over my reasonable request and states in a no-nonsense voice. “I didn’t want it, and don’t feel comfortable having it forced upon me. Jefferson, what you need to learn is how to harness your protective, alpha instinct in a way that makes me want what you want. It’s called finesse. The fine line between turning me on so much that I can’t wait to make you happy and pissing me off so bad I want to slap you, again. Now, tell me what would be a better way to approach that type of thing next time.”

She brushes her long, auburn locks behind her shoulders, giving me an unencumbered view of her chest and beautiful, mouthwatering cleavage. And I’m supposed to think?

“Baby,” I try not to whine like a virgin with the tip already in, “I don’t know the answer. Help me out here, I’m dying.”

“Why did you insist on the car?” She may be trying to pull off “emboldened,” but her hand trembles as she lowers one thin strap of her top a few inches off her shoulder, baring just a hint of one swollen, dark pink areola. I groan in actual pain, shifting again to give my swelling cock some room to suffer.

“Because I care about you, very much, and the thought of your long bus rides with God only knows how many horny, ill-mannered men makes me crazy. With a car, you can sleep in, sit down and have a decent breakfast, toss your books in the backseat and give us more time to spend together. Time we currently spend chasing each other around town because of bus schedules, my job and miscommunication.”

That’s what you should have said, discussed with me before pulling into the dealership. Do you see the difference?”

“I see part of your nipple.” I scoot to the edge of the couch.

She shakes her head with an exasperated tsk and no, God, no…pulls the strap back up.

“Okay, I get it! Pull it back down, baby.”

“Try it. Pretend it’s yesterday and talk to me about your car idea.” She grins, thriving on my torture.

Any thought I’ve ever had about luring Bellamy out of her shell, building her comfort level to be physical with me…this is not what I had in mind. Leave it to my feisty lil’ woman to switch up the plans on me.

I begin to recite the same speech I just gave her, inserting a “please,” “whatever you want,” and “totally up to you” as often as I can. When I’ve said all I can possibly think of in a deep, sexy voice, I wait.

“Very good, babe. Remember that though next time you get some crazy idea on rearranging my life or bossing me into something. I don’t want lip service. I want mutual respect, and sexy assertion that I can’t resist, even when I’m clothed.” She dazzles me with a disarming smile…and lowers the left strap all the way down.

Fucking beautiful. Real, round, high, firm and topped with a rosy nipple of the perfect size. My chest vibrates with my approving rumble, my lips and fingers both twitching for a sample.

“Bellamy,” I warn her, feral and untamed, scooting closer, the very edge of the couch quickly disappearing.

“Stay put, Jefferson. I mean it. We’re not done. I’ll be paying the sales tax and the fee to register the car. And if things between us don’t work out, I’ll be giving it back.”

Precious. But wrong. So wrong. “The sales tax was paid as part of the deal. If paying to register it makes you happy, fine. As for the other,” I slowly inhale, weighing the consequences, and decide to go on, “I don’t want to think about us not working out.”

“I don’t either,” she smiles sweetly. Glad she agrees because not working out simply isn’t an option. “You’re quite the quick study, Jefferson.” Her hooded, jade eyes hold my gaze prisoner as she slips the right strap down over the tan slope of her shoulder. Her whole, gorgeous chest is bared to me now, skin flushing under my unwavering, lascivious stare.

My girl is stacked. If I wasn’t a “boob guy” before…I sure as hell am now.

“Baby, damn. I have to touch you,” I growl, starting to rise.

 Sarah O’Rourke’s book review
I receive this book from the author for an honest review.
What a great, spicy short story from one of my favorite authors.
This story is a sweet story about a couple who have been married for 10 years but seem to be growing apart. Abby and Whit have had a great passionate love story. They have had a few tragic things happen that would cause great duress for any marriage. Abby and Whit get help from Lucy, Abby’s younger sister, who kick starts this couple into talking in the language of love vs taking to therapists about their troubles. Although I gotta admit, I loved Lucy a lot too. Her telling her sister she will be there with a shovel to bury the body if needed had me cracking up.
If you have read any of the stories from these ladies you will know to expect humor and some hawt sexy times in the plot. Any fan of their other books will love this new story as well.

Sarah O’Rourke is the alter ego of two best friends who have taken their passion for romantic fiction and erotica to the publishing world. Born and raised in the southern United States, one lives near Louisville, KY, while the other resides in Atlanta, Georgia. Neither is ever very far from a tall glass of sweet iced tea, their dog-eared copies of Gone With the Wind, or their Steel Magnolias DVDs!

Formerly an accountant and a chemist, they are now overworked, stay-at-home moms who adore their children, their husbands…and writing about love in every way possible!

Review by Jordan

At first I thought this book was going to be another rocker book just like the many others I’ve read before. And at first it was, but then the story began to change. This wasn’t just some rocker who hooks up with a girl and falls in love. Not quite anyway… he is already married! The story touched on some harsh realities like alcoholism and drugs but didn’t stray from the story at hand between Cole and Ally. I enjoyed the way the story twisted and turned and I thought it had the best ending possible for their story. For the most part this was a light hearted romance with unexpected twists and turns. 
*I was gifted this book by the author.

Noell Mosco is a 30-something-year-old who lives in Southwestern Pennsylvania, born and raised. A country girl at heart, she currently resides in Suburbia. Writing has been one of Noell’s passions since she was young, completing her first “book” at eleven. Since then, she’s always dreamed of becoming a best-selling author. Her full-time job as a physical therapist means she is compassionate, and it allows her to follow-up with her close-2nd biggest passion – traveling the world. Noell reluctantly admits to having a love of wine, though her poison of choice is generally tequila.

 

#review #NewRelease – Sweet Summer Love by Sierra Hill

Sweet Summer Love (The Sweetest Thing Book 3)

Logan

Everyone’s had a summer crush. One that’s etched into your memories so hard that it leaves an indelible mark, like a scar on your heart. For me, that crush is my first love, Carver Edwards. I met him at fifteen at summer camp, and for three perfect summers, he was mine. Until the blazing heat of the summer sun faded and reality crashed in. Carver went off to college, leaving me trapped in my small farming town, with no way of reaching him and a problem I needed solving.

Carver

As the senior captain of my college basketball team, all I’ve been focused on the past four years has been playing, school, getting drafted in the NBA, and steering clear of relationships. I didn’t want them. I had nothing to give another girl. I’d given it already. So, I built my rep as a player, and honed my natural ability to charm the pants off girls. It’s what I did. Who I was. Who I am.

Until March, when a lay-up during a tournament landed me in an emergency room, under the care of Logan Shaw – my first love. Of all the people I could run into, why did it have to be her? Not only did my face get split wide open, but so did the locks that held the pain I’d attempted to bury for so many years.

Now that she’s back in my life, we must face the truth and the consequences of our actions – even if it could destroy us. We must uncover the truths that have kept us shackled from moving forward. That could possibly set us free.

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

SO I am not a basketball person but you go Sierra because you sure did seem to know your stuff…LOL  But really this book was a great read. It was the 3rd book in the series but you don’t need to read the other two to know what is going on.

Logan is super sweet and you love her right away. Carver…well the Douche ends up stealing your heart because of how he feels and treats Logan.  The couple meet at summer camp and have a summer camp love affair….but then it fast forwards to 5 years later.  Logan is working for a dentist and Carver is a basketball stud finishing his degree.  Well when Fate wants you to be with your person she finds a way to get the job done.    When Carver needs a dentist, guess who goes to help????  Yup you got it!!  The couple have some thigs to get through but when you are older and wiser you can make it work!!

The book is sweet but also super steamy and a bit naughty….again I say, GO Sierra!!  Who doesn’t love a dirty talking hottie??  *looks around* exactly, we love them!!

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

I have enjoyed this series. I love getting to know this basketball team. watching the chemistry explode betting Logan and Carver was wonderful.

Logan is a strong woman that overcame a lot in her life. She fell in love with a boy at summer camp. When he left for college he left her to pick up the pieces at a time in her life when she needed him the most.

Carver only had one love, Logan, but when he left for college there was no communication with her. he could never get close to another woman always comparing them to Logan. Then one game, one layup, and one elbow set his world on its side. This day he landed face to face with Logan. With seeing her his brick wall begins to fall.

I love books that tell the story through flashbacks. It gives you the back story a glimpse at a time. To see Carver and Logan as love struck kids and then to see how they grew into the people they are today was wonderful but not as great to see their relationships as adults.

This is the third book in the series but you do not have to read the others to know what was going on.  Sierra Hill did a wonderful job with this series and these guys.

Sierra Hill wrote her first full-length romance after a corporate acquisition led her to a stint of unemployment, offering her some quality writing time.

She loves writing about the fictional characters that live in her brain who constantly shout for their own love story to be told.

Sierra resides in the Pacific Northwest with her husband of twenty years and her long-haired, German Shepherd. She is currently working on her next book.

Thanks for reading and reviewing her books. Keep the passion alive!

 

#Review #TwinsieForTheDayJordan – Unique By: Avery Aster

Unique (The Manhattanites Book 6) by [Aster, Avery]

For fans of TLC’s Sister Wives and the movie Blood Diamond comes UNIQUE, a full length stand alone contemporary m/f/m erotic romance.

Dumped by Europe’s hottest disc jockey Kiki Izatt jumps into her career taking New York society by storm. In charge of Brill Inc.’s jewelry client Paloma Gems she’s ready to show the industry who sparkles.

Superstar DJ Dejon had no choice but to cut ties. If Kiki blew his techno spin cover by discovering his real intentions to hijack The Style Gala, she’d ruin his crusade to return the blood diamonds to his West African people. Dejon couldn’t go back on his word to his brother Dash even if it meant not marrying Kiki.

When Dash Turay accidently shoots and injures Kiki while stealing Paloma’s most valuable stone, he’s taken with her. Dash wants her. He must have her! So what if Kiki is from Utah and promised her virginity to Dejon. Dash will find a way to get her in his bed with or without Dejon’s approval.

Familiar with Sister Wives Kiki wonders if it’s time to try her hand at Brother Husbands!

(Content Warning: The kidnapping of a Utah virgin by two British thieves who just happen to be identical twins induces twincest fantasies, forced submission, D/s, spanking, ménage, voyeurism, and major cray cray!)

Goodreads

Amazon

Kiki Izatt’s situation is as unique as the title of her book. Kiki is a wholesome girl with unique tastes. This story is not for the faint of heart. I am so happy I dived back into The Manhattanites series. Avery Aster did not disappoint with turning a sweet innocent girl like Kiki into a dirty girl. From blood diamonds to weddings, this story has it all!

#WOTR #Spotlight – Lyssa Layne @layne_lyssa

Lyssa Layne

Tell us your name and then a bit about yourself.

Lyssa Layne is first, and foremost, the proud momma to her precious daughter, AR. In addition to working full-time and being a mommy to AR, she is also an avid St. Louis Cardinals fan, a runner, blogger, and an infertility survivor.

Having watched one too many medical dramas and being inspired by author Rachelle Ayala, who introduced her to the world of indie writing, Lyssa decided to try her hand at writing a romance story. Her attempt turned into the Burning Lovesick series. You can find Lyssa’s own interests throughout her stories although all stories are fictional.

When and Why did you start to write?

As a blogger, I had been introduced to the world of indie writing. The more I read, the more I thought, hey, I could do this so… I did! I started writing my first novel, Love is a Fire in the fall of 2013. I had been binge watching Grey’s Anatomy and Rescue Me which is pretty obvious in the storyline. It was published in May 2014.

What authors do you always read or suggest to others?

K.S. Thomas, Melissa Keir, Michele Shriver to just name a few!

What is the most surprising thing you have found out with the writing process?

That there isn’t an editing fairy to take you from your first draft to the final product.

What are you working on now?

Currently, I’m trying to wrap up my Italian DiDominzio family series. I was supposed to publish it December 2015 but due to a few hiccups up in my writing schedule, it’s been pushed back. I’m trying to get it published by my birthday, March 13, and it’s going to be amazing. It’s a series of four, longer, novellas, each one about a sibling in the DiDominzio family. The drama starts off slowly and builds with each sibling. The thing I love about it is that you get to see the relationships progress in each story so it’s like keeping tabs on old friends of yours.

When writing are you a pantser or plotter?

A bit of both. I always start off with an outline but seem to always deviate from it. It’s nice to at least know where the starts and where it needs to go, even if everything in the middle gets changed up some.

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

Oh ladies!!  Man, do you know how to write an alpha hottie!! I mean each guy you write I love more than the rest and Fire Chief, Aiden, was no different.  Alpha all the way!!  I was snickering a little bit at his jealous nature when other single guys came into the bar to meet our new librarian Carolina.  But seriously, Wrath…WHEN DOES HE GET A BOOK!!!  Enough said……..

Carolina is in desperate need of change.  Boy, does she get it when she moves from California to small town Tennessee.  Her first meeting with Aiden is a great scene and lets you know exactly how far our alpha will go to win this woman’s heart.

As always with these books, we get to catch up with town favorites but you don’t need to read any of the previous books to know what is happening.  This book was a nice, hawt, and hilarious short read for a Saturday binge reading session.  You really can’t go writing with this author duo.  Their books are always a favorite of mine!

 

button-excerpt

Aiden had known the second he laid his eyes on that spectacular hourglass figure of hers that he wanted her. Of course he had. A man would have to be dead not to want to spend time between those gorgeous thighs, worshiping at those fantastic breasts while he fucked into what he’d bet was the tightest pussy in creation. Yes, his cock had screamed ‘MINE!’ the moment his gaze settled on her fine little body. But the second she’d turned and he’d seen her exquisite face for the first time… yeah, he’d been done. He’d known that woman would hold him – heart, mind, body, and soul.

There’d been no question at all.

He was claiming sweet Carolina for his own.

Clayton's-Star-for-Amazon-1400-x-2100

synopsis

 

 

A Hollywood starlet fearlessly prepares for danger but finds herself unprepared for the perils of love.

On the big screen Sheridan Bennett’s got the face of an angel and the body of a…well, isn’t that what’s expected of an award-winning actress? But there’s something about her Clayton Kincaid can’t quite figure. The former Ranger is transitioning from local police detective to private investigator, and Sheridan Bennett is one case he’d like to solve.

Sheridan knows her luck has taken a turn for the worse when her criminal father appears in the middle of a police fundraiser. Not only that, the one man capable of uncovering her secrets witnesses her distress. Her idyllic life falls apart as her father’s demands for money escalate and a stalker begins a menacing game.

Determined to keep Sheridan safe, Clayton works his way into her life and her heart. But when Sheridan learns Clayton has secrets of his own, she decides to face the fight alone. Undeterred by Sheridan’s belief in his deception, Clayton uses all his resources when the path of her notorious father and her stalker converge.

Together they must learn that the spotlight shines brightest when it’s shared, and that not all love is an act.

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

Oh man was I ready to get to know detective hottie AKA Claton and I totally expected him to be the hot and cold person in this relationship but boy was I wrong.  That man was in it from the start!!  Sheridan is a MESS!!  That girl has been through more in her life than most people and is living to tell about it.  Granted she is living a shallow existence out of fear but she thinks is strength until old Aquaman  *Snickers* forces his way into Slims life.

Clayton is your typical brooding alpha but he sees our star and is instantly drawn.  Sheridan is a famous actress and has scened with many celebrities but no one gives her the butterflies like Clayton.  When she needs help he is there to offer his strength annnnd a bit more.  Try has hard as Sheridan liked he broke down every single one of her walls and swam his way past her defenses….again the Aquaman references because they cracked me up in the book.

There is A LOT happening in this book…I mean a lot!!  Lots of side plots and bad guys, twists, turns,  the Russian Mafia and even some human trafficking L but the story is solid.  You think you might have this figured out and then we get a whole new level of “Oh crap” thrown at us.

I gotta tell ya I wanted to smack Sheridan a time or two but I think her sisters are a great touch stone for her.  I also loved seeing Rachel and Clayton bantering back and forth in the story.  But I am DYING…like for real death is imminent if I don’t know about Erik annnnnd Ryan.  Serious the need for these men to find an HEA is super strong!!!!

synopsis

A shifter battling his wolf instincts…
A woman living a life of obligation and lies…
A moment of fate interrupted by danger.

Rebel Lynch has spent two hundred years searching for balance between his human side and his inner wolf. As a den President of The Feral Breed Motorcycle Club, a lack of control over the beast within isn’t just a pain in the tail, it’s a death sentence. One served by his club brothers: the judges, jury, and executioners of the wolf-shifting community.

At Amnesia Gentlemen’s Club, customers and staff check their real-world identities at the door. Charlotte, one of the club’s best waitresses, ditched her legit career in corporate IT because she needs the kind of income those pesky IRS folks can’t track. When the smart-mouthed bombshell pulls a gig serving a private party, she expects nothing more than a few extra tips. That is until dirty-talking Rebel Lynch strolls into the room looking like sin incarnate, flashing motorcycle club colors, and blasting Charlotte’s expectations about work, life, and love straight to hell.

One glance at Charlotte and Rebel knows she’s his fated mate. But a wolf shifter is attacking women at the club, threatening Charlotte’s life, and putting the entire shifter community at risk of exposure. Rebel and his Feral Breed MC brothers must find the crazed shifter before he strikes again. If Rebel can’t uncover the new monster in their midst—and learn to rein in the protective instincts of a fully mated Alpha—his future with Charlotte will be dead on arrival.

I bought this book after seeing this authors amazing list of Paranormal books when I was at an autor event.

Shifters plus MC…That is the Holy Grail for me.  I mean WHAT!!!  Yes those 2 genres are my favorite and probably the most read by me so…uhm…yeah..direct hit to my pocket book.

Rebel is the Alpha of his chapter of the Feral Breed MC.  He has a tight group of shifters who respect him even though he is a human turned vs natural born wolf.  When Blaze, the President and resident bad a$$ head of the NALB, ask Rebel to investigate a situation, you go.  Rebel is shocked to see his mate working in this dive bar/sex sop.

Cherry/Charlotte hates her job slinging drinks but she needs to pay her brothers tuition.  This is the only job that gives her enough money to do that along with provide food on the table.  When sex on a stick walks in and she is forced to be in a room with him, she is dying.  Not outta fear for the shifter but outta lust.

The couple are quickly throw into an even worse situation which causes the world around them to shift.  They gotta deal with the mating pull, the bad guys and the fact that ….uh…well…Charlotte doesn’t even know what the heck a wolf shifter is!

I totally loved this fresh look at the shifter/mate dynamic.  I loved that Charlotte stands her ground with Rebel.  She makes him earn her heart.
