Title: Embody
Author: S.E. Hall
Genre: New Adult Romance

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

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.

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.

Rochelle Paige – Unexpected Bargain

Charlie and Chad could not have been any cuter. They have a chance meeting during Black Friday shopping not realizing who the other was until Charlie’s mom recognized him. You see they were neighbors but Chad moved away when they were in middle school.

I loved how quickly they connected and what Chad did for Charlie. I really would like to know more about Chads partner Luke and his story.

Rebecca Brooke – Under Cover

This opening scene was great had me on pins and needles. Way to open a story up had me hook line and sinker. James is an undercover cop who goes to a local bar to get away from family on Christmas to be alone but finds Melanie the bartender intriguing and spends hours chatting. They both found it easy to talk to one another.

I enjoyed watching this quick romance. However, I really would like to know more about this couple and how things progress with their relationship.

Brandy L. Rivers – An Eve to Remember

Eve was out to celebrate her birthday at a local bar tired of being set up on dates and sick of boyfriends not being able to handle her being a cop. One night stand on her birthday she could handle that. She meets Kenji and had a great evening with him but when it came to getting to know one another Eve shot him down. Little did she know she would see him again and both would find out what each other did for a living.

I loved how well Eve’s partner knew her and knew not to try to set her up with a man but a little secret setup never hurts. This like the others was a great quick read. As always Brandy made this heroin a strong willed bad ass woman one that doesn’t need a man to protect her and can take a hit now and then. Kenji was great at not pushing or being an over the top alpha he was who he was and let things play out to show Eve he was not nothing like the other men she knew.

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!

Cole Clarke is a broken man, with a sham marriage and nowhere to turn. Allyn Anders is a self-proclaimed hermit, only straying from her apartment when she is forced to attend work meetings and when her best friend drags her out. When this pair has a chance encounter, sparks fly and there is undeniable attraction. Attraction that is impossible to resist. The morning after, Allyn discovers that Cole just happens to be the lead singer of the band that makes Maroon 5 look like child’s play–Sunday Told A Secret is rocking their way across the country as they’re wrapping up their first world tour. Cole returns home to L.A, infatuated with this other woman, only to discover that his alcoholic wife has started dappling in more than just booze. When he thinks his life is falling apart, Cole knows he can call on Ally. Are they able to make it work? Is Ally okay with being the other woman?

Review by Jordan

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.

Mystery surrounds Lucky Stables. Many, like Emily Lane’s parents, fell in love there. After tragedy struck, Emily ran far away, believing the Stables were cursed. In Emily’s absence, Shane Patterson stepped in to help Emily’s aging father. When Emily returns home, will Shane help her believe in love and luck again?

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

I enjoyed Shane and Emily but Emily’s animals walked away with my heart. Shane is a sweet hard working lovable man. Emily is a strong willed independent soft hearted woman.

The stables have a magic about it Emily’s parents fell in love there but Emily was convinced the stables were not magic but cursed. She left never planning on returning but when her dad needed help she returned. She found Shane who was there helping while she was gone.

Shane came to help out Emily’s dad he had his own story of the lucky stables. When he saw Emily he wanted to find out if the stables actually had Magic. Will Emily and Shane find their magic or will their real life get in the way and prove the stables are cursed.

This was a quick read and enjoyable. I liked getting to know all the characters. Emily was such a strong female that I enjoyed reading about her. Shane was a good hearted kind soul that loved to help others.  The interactions between Emily and her dad and Hank and Charlotte were great. What I loved the most was when Johnny and Stevie were with Emily and Shane.

I really want more of this series there where so many great characters and I want to get to know all of them more.

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

What a fun, quick yet hawt read from Ashley.  I was super excited to see some of my old friends from her other series in the story. Even a quick glimpse made me happy!

Emily and Shane are an insta-love couple but I liked the “magic” behind it so it didn’t really bother me.  No when I say magic, no this is not a paranormal novel but the theme of finding love at Emily’s family stables was a fun one.

Emily moved home after finishing veterinarian school to be struck stupid by the hottie cowboy who is helping her father out.  Shane has seen pictures of young Emily, not grown adult Emily so when he sees her, he is a mess of nerves.  This hot very self-assured cowboy is a mess around our strong willed feisty female.

The story is about them both healing from their pasts and hoping that the magic will not let them down.  When the couple start to explore things, drama ensues and we wonder if they have been cursed against love.

I loved Lee because he made Shane step up his A game but he also brought some comic relief to the storyline at one point.  LOL

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!
