When Seth is called to investigate a case against a high profile boxing champion he knows that he’s in for a challenge. If the chance of high publicity isn’t enough to keep him on his toes, the road blocks that get put his way certainly will.
As he navigates his way through the case, he’s determined to detect the truth, and his faithful wife, Zee, once again helps him in the only way she knows how—even after she meets his new partner.
Balancing his home and work life has never been harder. Seth is on the hunt for the perpetrator while still trying to make his wife a priority.
And when the DNA comes back, it’s the biggest twist he’s ever seen in his career…
Oh my this book is hot and steamy. It will leave you all hot and bothered and wanting more. It’s an amazing story that shows how much love you can have for your spouse while working a crazy grueling job.

I’m C.E. Johnson but you can call me Carrie! I’ve lived in the middle of cornfields and in the Windy City. I like both for different reasons so I settled somewhere in between the two. However, the older I get the more I miss the country. I spent a whole lot of money on a Master’s degree in Communications, only to discover my love for writing novels after I graduated. It’s an expensive piece of paper, but it’s mine and I’m proud of it. I’m a wife, mama, dog lover, coffee addict, and night writer.
When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.
Sweet tea or coffee is a must. I write the best at my desk in my office. Sadly, its next to the playroom so I’ve gotten really good at writing while hearing “Bro! I just re-spawned! What are you doing? BROOOOO!” In case you don’t understand that, I live in a house full of gamers. It gets interesting.
What are you favorite things about attending signings?
Meeting readers! It’s so surreal that readers want me to sign their books. When I meet the readers, it really fires me up to go write more!
What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?
Kristen Ashley! I love some Colorado Mountain Men!
When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?
I’m a sit and go girl. I used to try to sit down for a long period of time and get the words in. But now, I’ve found that I really enjoy writing for small spurts throughout the day. I can write for awhile, then take a break. (Ha! Did I just say break? I meant go do laundry, dishes, or scrub a toilet. Ah, motherhood!) And when I come back, new ideas have usually come to me.
What is your favorite memory so far as an author?
My very first signing I had a reader who drove an hour and a half just to meet me. I was the entire reason she came to the signing. That is still pretty surreal to me.
The beautiful does well to hide the beast.
Nova Crimson was absolutely beautiful, and she knew it. Not only was she beautiful but she was smart, filthy rich, had a fabulous wardrobe, a great house, on paper she seemed to have it all going for her.
Well, what’s the problem with all of this, you want to know?
The interior didn’t match the exterior, or so the saying goes. Nova Crimson was a cold, ruthless bitch who got what she wanted when she wanted it and wasn’t afraid of the casualties who might get trampled in her wake.
There’d only ever been one person in her life who she’d allowed to see past the beautifully cold mask she hid behind, and that had been a boy named Olliver who’d been everything Nova had not. They’d become friends, of a sort, after Nova stood up to protect him.
Unfortunately, the very next day, Olliver and his useless drunk of a father disappeared without a trace. And Nova had been forced to go about her life as if a piece of her hadn’t gone missing right along with Olliver. The very best piece of her, the piece that held any time of compassion or love she might have ever had.
Now, all grown up and on her own in the world, Nova still can’t let the ghost of that boy go. The hunter in her wants to track him down and find him herself. But hunting men had only ever ended in one way with Nova and that was with their death. Something she made a great deal of money off of and was very, very good at.
One thing Nova had learned in life was that if you couldn’t do it yourself you needed the best of the best to get the job done for you.
That’s when River, Vega, and Talin walked into her life. That’s also when things took a drastic turn in Nova Crimson’s life because in order to embrace love one had to take off the beautiful mask that hid the beast and embrace the ugly on the inside.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
Oh snap friends. This book is GOOOOOD!! Nova is a typical female that Mary writes about. She is feisty, fearless, and full of sass. She is not waiting for a Prince Charming. She pays him to “Help her out” *wink wink*. Nova hires 3 sexy men to find her childhood friend who disappeared without a sound.
River, Talin, and Vega have no clue but when they are near Nova they loose their cool and just want to be with her. There is something about her strength these men appreciate and approve of. When they find her friend, we learn a lot about her and Olliver’s lives.
This book is a quick read but it’s sexy as hell. There is so much angst plus impossible amounts of twists and turns. I am going to say if you love her Dollhouse books, Nova and Duchess would be best friends!!!
Mary Martel was born in West Michigan and spent the majority of her life there. She currently resides in North Dakota with her husband, and her two beautiful daughters. She’s an avid reader, and when not writing she can be found with her nose stuck in a book.
Seth Lane is the best SVU Detective the precinct has to offer. He’s smart, determined and has a seriously impressive closing rate. He’s also sexy as hell and married to Zee, a woman who not only understands his demanding job but supports him in doing whatever is necessary to close the case.
But when he meets the newest victim of a brutal attack, Seth has to use every resource he has to find the suspect – and fast. Every clue he collects is a step towards closing the case, but he’s shocked when the biggest clue of all comes with the help of his wife. Thrown headfirst into the case, Seth must follow the evidence to apprehend the suspect before he hits again.
You are going to fall in love with Detective Seth Lane and his sassy wife Zee. While working on a new case Seth thinks he has hit a brick wall not finding anything to help put the douche bag behind bars but Zee has something sexy up her sleeve to help him look at it from a different angle. Their hot and sexy sex life will have you wishing it was your sex life. A must read for sure.

My name is Jennifer Laslie and I currently live in Layton, UT where I get to look at the mountains every single day!
Last December I made a huge leap by moving here from Louisville, KY. I’m happily married with two children and I’m sort of a crazy cat lady. We have five cats that rule our house and two dogs that try to stay out of their way.
I write both Young Adult and Paranormal Romance. When I’m not working or writing, you can find me at the bookstore with a coffee in hand or out hiking a trail in the Utah wilderness.
When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.
I’ve got to have something to drink, whether it’s water, a mixed rum drink, or coke and amaretto. My office has a big overstuffed chair and ottoman that I get settled in. I pull up Spotify for some light background noise and let my favorite songs play on shuffle. I try to remind my kids to leave me alone, but it doesn’t always work out that way. They’re 13 and 19 and you’d think they’d learn to listen to me by now, but nope!
What are you favorite things about attending signings?
I love meeting both readers and authors. These events usually give me an opportunity to see author friends I generally only ever chat with online. I also get excited when I have readers come up to my table that know of me, and have read something of mine, but then they gush about how much they love it and it makes my day!
What author would you love to meet (Who is your unicorn author)?
I’d love to meet Jacqueline Carey. She is my all time favorite author! I do have a signed UK edition paperback of one of her books that I won online when she used to do giveaways on Facebook a long time ago. It is my most prized autographed book!
When you are writing, do you have a consistent schedule where you write every day at the same time or are you a sit and go on different days to get it done kinda person?
I do not have to be at work until 9:30am MST. My alarm goes off at 6:30am every morning. I wake up, get ready for the day and get settled into my writing chair in my office with a coffee next to me. Because I work from home, I can utilize every minute up until 9:30 and then walk over to my desk to clock in for work. If I don’t have anything pressing in the evenings, I’ll eat dinner, watch a TV show with my husband, and if I’ve got the energy, I’ll try to write some more. If not, I’ll veg out and know that tomorrow I can tackle the word count.
What is your favorite memory so far as an author?
Can I name two memories? Yes? Please? Okay!
The first is when I wrote my novel Mermaid Adrift for a boxed set, Sirens and Scales. The box set hit #89 on the USA Today Bestsellers List right smack dab in between Stephen King and Janet Evanovich.
My second is getting accepted as a client for Rebecca Frank. She is a phenomenal cover artist and she is the one who has designed all of the covers for my Unfortunate Spells series.
Do you have a book that is your most prized possession? What is it and why is it so amazing?
Refer back up to my favorite author. My most prized possession is an autographed copy of one of Jacqueline Carey’s books. I have all of her Kushiel’s Legacy series, but they are all the hardback editions from the US. The one I have signed from her is Naamah’s Kiss and it’s the UK cover in paperback.
Years ago, I was the scape goat for a very powerful man and his six sons. I managed to escape and build a quiet life for myself. When the opportunity arose to help others in similar situations, I took it. Now, I’m known in the streets for my talented hand in forgery among other things. Almost anybody a person wishes to become, I can make it happen, well, with the help of my two best friends.
Arsuilla. Survivor. Savior. I answer to them all. Oh, and voice stealer. I swear, throat punch a guy one time and it’ll stick with you for a lifetime.
Life is looking up until the six sons find me. At first I fear they’ve been sent by their father to drag me kicking and screaming back to him. But I soon come to realize, I’ve got more to fear from Anderson, Alejandro, Abraham, Atlas, Alek, and Aric. Like losing my heart to the six brothers.
This is a Villainously Romantic WhyChoose Retelling with some chuckles, several fearless stunts, and enough determination to rival the sea.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
*Clapping* The Little Mermaid was my girls favorite Disney movie so I was super excited to read this book. I mean everyone hates Arsuilla AKA Su. She has left everyone she loves and everything she knows to keep the ones she loves safe. She is now helping others who left with nothing on their backs. She says she wished she had someone helping her when she escaped so she is returning the favor with her talents. When the guys some back Arsuilla freaks but soon starts to remember and fall for the brothers.
The scenes with the br0thers are Bow Chicka Wow Wow reads for sure. ANNNND Of course since it’s a RH series you can’t pick just one and thank God you don’t have too.
This is a great addition to the series of anti-hero books!!
Brandy Slaven lives in Tennessee with her husband and two wild children. If you can’t find her typing away at her laptop, you will find her with her nose in a book at the beach or hiking at one of the state parks. Bringing her characters to life is one of her greatest accomplishments.
Josie’s world is turned upside down after the death of her fiancé. Her picture-perfect world no longer exists. But when a ghost starts haunting her house, she’s not sure who to turn to.

Together, they must figure out who is haunting her house and how to get rid of them. Can they survive the supernatural while figuring out the chemistry brewing between them?
Josie was enjoying her bachelorette party 3 days before her wedding with her closestfriends drinking and have a blast when the doorbell rings and surprise her friends got her a stripper. The music and lap dance started and for some reason Josie had felt a spark between the stripper and herself, she shouldn’t be feeling things like that she getting ready to get married for Christ sakes. The next night her future husband went out with his friends and it was during a terrible storm, well one thing lead to another and something terrible had occurred. A few days later Josie was putting books away and one flew off the shelf into the middle of the room she knows she wasn’t going crazy but this book was amazing and i just loved it. Hilarious, heartwarming, heartbreak, and swooning this books has it all, and a little spook factor that your going to love as well.

Jennifer Laslie is a crazy cat lady who lives in Utah with her wonderful husband and two children. Her office affords her a mountain view that she loves! When she’s not thinking about cheesecake or cats, she can be found in the bookstore in the Young Adult section, coffee in hand.
USA Today bestselling author Red Phoenix brings you the magic of the season in this heartfelt and sizzling holiday romance.
Nothing is more enchanting than the wonder of a child on Christmas morning… But Hope is not the only one who will experience the magic of the holidays.
Sir may not care for the season, but he enjoys challenging his beloved sub. In the absence of extended family, you turn to your friends.
Unwrapping gifts will take on a whole new meaning at the Training Center.
I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
I was so ecstatic to get this book. I love this family so much and love when we get to see the entire training center family. To see Brie and Sir celebrate Hope’s first Christmas took me back to my baby girls first Christmas and memories that will always be with me.
There were so many great things going on in this book. So much family love on this Christmas season. Sir has not celebrated Christmas in years but Rytsar and Hope may just bring Christmas joy back into his heart. I was so exited to see what Sir has planned for Brie, Hope and even Rytsar. Sir did an amazing job planning the Christmas party at the Training center. I enjoyed seeing all the surprises Sir and the other Dom’s had for the subs. All I can say is I would love to sit on that Santa’s lap.
I had the feel goods through out this entire story. Some of the most amazing thoughtful gifts were given by Sir, Brie and Rytsar. It is Amazing who the best gifts given don’t have to be physical things but words from the heart and boy does Rytsar know the perfect way to deliver it and it is shocking who receives this gift. I enjoy seeing Mary, Lea and the other subs in this one. Everyone deserves friends like Sir and Brie’s. Christmas is my favorite holiday and this story was the perfect thing to get me in the Christmas Spirit.
My favorite quote:
“Two strong men facing a holiday they had avoided for years now choosing to experience the holiday through the wonder of Hope’s eyes.”

When you are writing, what are some go to’s that you needs? IE Foods to eat, noise level, place to sit.
Typically when I write I like it to be quiet. If I hear music, I will sing along. It’s a downfall. lol.

Meeting new people! I think it’s amazing to connect with people that I may not have gotten the chance to before.

Wow, I’d say meeting Golden Czermak. He is just a huge inspiration to so many. I love that man!
Emma has always been obsessed with Ollie Mills of
the southern rock band, Sunset Revival. She follows his every move on
Twitter, likes all his posts on Instagram, and stalks his page on Facebook. So
when there’s a contest to win a date with the sexy-as-sin, bad-boy rockstar, of
course she enters. It’s a one in a million chance.
Caleb Mills has always been unlucky in love. From
the girl who broke his heart, to every one-night stand in between, the lead
singer of Sunset Revival barely feels anything anymore. He’s focused on
his music and nothing more. Until he sees Emma, in a blue dress, on a hot night
in Nashville. She’s meant to be his brother’s date, but the moment his eyes
connect with hers he wants this beautiful girl all for himself.
Caleb knows, it will only take Ollie a minute to
screw things up. And he’ll be there waiting to win this girl’s heart the moment
he does. But can any girl, ever, really trust a rockstar
*NEVER TRUST A ROCKSTAR can be read as a
standalone, or as the first book in Sarah Darlington’s ROCKSTARS in KILL DEVIL
HILLS Series.
I received this book from the author for an honest review.
As someone who has met a famous person and been crushed by them, I totally related to Emma. She totally dug Ollie and to find out what he was really like…ugh. Emma wins a date with Ollie who is in her favorite band. She is totally stoked because hell its OLLIE. She soon discovers what a not awesome dude he is and then we see Caleb. He too is in the bad with Ollie.
This book is essentially a friends’ to lovers’ story with Emma and Caleb finding each other and then falling for each other. Caleb stepped up and helped Emma when her date with Ollie was a hot mess. Caleb used to be a player but has grown tired of it. Which I was kinda stunned by because he is so not like Ollie but I guess that cheetah changed his spots!! LOL
I enjoyed the story and look for more in the series.
Sarah Darlington was born in Colorado and grew up all over the United States. She and her family call Virginia home these days. The best word to describe Sarah is ‘creative.’ She’s passionate about designing, crafting, and photography. But most of all… she loves to write. Her creative bone and OCD personality mix well.
Her romance books are sexy and heart-gripping at their core, guaranteed to make you swoon. Any of them can be read as a stand-alone, but all are connected within the same world.
