#review #TwinsieForTheDayJordan #FreeBook – Too Easy by Willow Winters

Too Easy

WHORE, SLUT, AN EASY LAY… I’VE BEEN CALLED A LOT OF THINGS.

It turns me on most when a man says it while he’s taking me from behind.

People say there’s a reason I am the way I am.
And sure, some stuff happened to me.
Some messed up sh*t I’d never wish on anyone.
But I’ve been like this long before that night.

That’s not what this story’s about, though.
You think you know? You don’t know a thing.
Let’s start from the beginning, all about how I asked for it.

From USA Today and Wallstreet Journal best selling author Willow Winters comes an emotional dark romance.
Too Easy is a 7,500 word prologue to the standalone, She Asked for It.

Review by Jordan

Great prequel. Looks like it could become a great book or series even. Clean cut girl has the desires of being naughty. This could become great and I really enjoyed the sneak peek of She Asked for It. I can’t wait to see where things go.

Willow Winters is so happy to be a USA Today, Wall Street Journal and #1 Contemporary Bestselling Romance Author. She likes her action hot and her bad boys hotter. She certainly doesn’t hold back on either one in her writing!

 

#WOTR18 #TwinsieForTheDayJordan #Review – Hell by Elena M. Reyes

Hell

How do I dominate and enamor the woman who’s in charge of signing my paycheck?

That’s the one question Joshua Timbers has been asking himself since he first stepped foot into his own personal Hell. JT, or Yoshi—as his tormentor likes to call him—has lived a life of hardship and loss since an early age. Being the product of a single-parent home, he’s accustomed to hard work and lonely nights.

Seeing the strong man that raised him suffer after the loss of his mother made JT’s own heart harden. All that mattered was seeking instant gratification to curb his enormous appetite.

Until the blessed day he met his fallen angel, Janelle.

Beautiful, and with balls bigger than her entire crew, Janelle is accustomed to the leering looks of men, even though she’s their boss—the owner of Walker Construction, alongside her brother.

Her beauty is untouchable to everyone, but how far will Joshua go to bend his hellion to his will and make her his?

Review by Jordan

When Joshua decides to move across the country and start over with a new construction company, he had no clue his life would change in the best and worst ways. First day at a new job and he already wants change everything he’s ever thought about relationships. Janelle will be a daily reminder that life could be different. But they both need to get past their stubbornness to make this thing work. I was instantly drawn in by the tension these two created. This story was cute and funny, as well as tense and sexy. I loved it!

Elena M. Reyes was born and raised in Miami Florida. She is the epitome of a Floridian and if she could live in her beloved flip-flops, she would.
As a small child, she was always intrigued with all forms of art—whether it was dancing to island rhythms, or painting with any medium she could get her hands on. Her first taste of writing came to her during her fifth grade year when her class was prompted to participate in the D. A. R. E. Program and write an essay on what they’d learned.
Her passion for reading over the years has amassed her with hours of pleasure. It wasn’t until she stumbled upon fanfiction that her thirst to write overtook her world. She now resides in Central Florida with her husband and son, spending all her down time letting her creativity flow and letting her characters grow.

 

#review #NewRelease #Historical #Regency – THE MADAME CATCHES HER DUKE by Christina McKnight

 

Title: The Madame Catches Her Duke

Series: Craven House

Author: Christina McKnight

Genre: Historical Romance, Regency

Release Date: January 4, 2018

THERE’S A FINE LINE BETWEEN LOVE AND HATE.

Despite being thrown from her home and stripped of her place in society at a young age, Madame Marce Davenport is proud of what she’s accomplished with her family and the notoriously scandalous Craven House. Except it’s all built on a lie. When an arrogant duke strode into her home years ago, offering her a way to keep the brothel open, she agreed to his game of deception. But now that her siblings have found their happiness, Marce can finally live the life she’s always wanted: one that embraces the truth. And that means severing ties with the man who has claimed too many of her days—both in reality, and fantasy.

Rowan Delconti, the Duke of Harwich, has been angry for so long: at his father, at the woman who broke apart his parents’ marriage, and at the children who won is father’s love. He’s determined his mother won’t be unhappy again—even if it means pretending to be married to Marce, so that his mother will think he’s found love in his life. But the beautiful madame fuels his fire like no other, and the charade starts to feel all too real.

When Marce and Rowan’s secrets finally come to light, their passion may not be enough to staunch the hurt of the past. Can two people who were so wrong for each other, realize they’ve been right all along?

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

I have been waiting for this book since we first met Marce!  I was so excited to finally get this book in my hands, so I could sit, and binge read it during a snowy day and evening.  This book was everything and then more then I could have hoped for.

Marce is the big sister who will do anything to make sure he siblings are well taken care of and provided for.  While doing this she is also keeping a huge secret from them regarding their mother and her past as the Madame of Craven House.  We know Marce has been seeing a dashing looking man and even warned her sisters away from this man but to finally get to know him….eeeeppppp so excited!!

However, once we got to KNOW the man was to not like the man.  His hate and need for revenge was crazy so I was wondering how in the heck Christina could make him likeable and even redeemable.  However, she does it and I felt my heart slowly melting for the Duke AKA Rowan AKA the blackmailer douche bag!!

Rowan lives his life by a black and white code.  EVERYTHING is in black and white so to see the Grey fringes that Marce lives in is not even thinkable.  Rowan has a lot of growing in this book as a person and as a man.  Marce has a lot of learning as well.  She learns that not all is what it seems and even the most confident man can be and will be broken at times.

I was so excited with how everything flowed with this book.  I loved Tobias and I especially loved Rowan’s mom.

Christina McKnight is a book lover turned writer. From a young age, her mother encouraged her to tell her own stories. She’s been writing ever since.

Christina enjoys a quiet life in Northern California with her family, her wine, and lots of coffee. Oh, and her books…don’t forget her books! Most days she can be found writing, reading, or traveling the great state of California.

#spotlight #PromoBlitz #Renegade #Traitor #ShannonMyers #OneClickIt – Renegade & Traitor, Renegade Series Book 1 & 2 by Shannon Myers

Renegade (Renegade: Book 1)

Mike-
I may wear a badge, but I haven’t been on the right side of the law in years.
There’s no coming back from the things that I’ve done. I’m cut from the same cloth as my old man and guys like us- we don’t deserve second chances. Why does she make me feel like I’m worthy of just that though?

Lauren-
My entire life had been a struggle until him.
He makes me feel like I’m someone else…someone without a past. Officers are sworn to serve and protect, but I can’t shake the feeling that he’ll be the one to destroy me.

 

Traitor (Renegade: Book 2)

Lauren
One box
Lives were lost and relationships destroyed because of that one box. I don’t care what the cost is, I won’t stop until I have answers. Even if it means declaring war on the detective who once had my heart.

Mike
Every war has its casualties
I was just naive enough to believe that it wouldn’t hit so close to home. There’s so much blood on my hands, that I’m guilty by association at this point. I don’t know how to keep Lauren safe without betraying the club, but I’m willing to die trying.

This book is NOT a standalone. It is the conclusion to Renegade.

Shannon is a born and raised Texan. She grew up inventing clever stories, usually to get herself out of trouble. Her mother was not amused. In junior high, she began writing fractured fairy tales from the villain’s point of view and that was the moment she knew that she was going to use her powers for evil instead of good.

In 2003, she moved to Denver and met the love of her life. After some relentless stalking and a few well-timed sarcastic remarks, the man eventually gave in to her charms and wifed her so hard. They welcomed a son in 2007 that they named after their favorite Marvel superhero, Spiderman.

Sick of seeing beautiful mountains through their window every day, the three escaped back to the desolate landscape of the west Texas desert in 2009. She welcomed her second son not long after and soon realized that being surrounded by three men was nothing at all like she’d imagined in her fantasies.

After an unplanned surgery in 2014 and a long pity party, she decided to pen a novel about the worst thing that could happen to a person in order to cheer herself up. She’s twisted like that. Thus, From This Day Forward was born and the rest, as they say, is history.

Not only does Shannon enjoy stalking people, she also has a fondness for being stalked. Visit her at www.shannonshaemyers.com to keep up with her latest schemes and shenanigans.

Trapper knows what it is to be violated and what it feels like to deliver a death blow. He knows love and he knows pain.

However, one person knows his every secret.

When Avery has waited long enough, can Trapper see beyond their past and into their future? Or is he too late?

New trouble reopens old wounds. Their unstable three-way relationship threatens to collapse. Will Severin’s submissives be able to save him from self-destruction, or will they need to abandon the man they love?

Tied (Voyeur, #2) by N. Isabelle Blanco & Elena M. Reyes

Tied (Voyeur, #2)

That bloody bitch thinks she’s the biggest villain here . . .

And I’m going to let her keep thinking that.

She thinks she knows how far I’ll go to save Ivy.

In reality, she has no fucking clue. I’d kill for her.

My humanity recedes while a demon is born.

I want their blood on my hands. The stakes are beyond high, trapped in this sex dungeon with no way out. Our loved ones are being threatened while we’re being forced to endure.

But none of that matters to me as much as the endgame. I’ll be leaving here once I take the two things that matter most:

I’ll be claiming my woman. And once I find our way out, I’ll be taking our captor’s life too.

She thought she could threaten my girl.

I’m about to show her just how wrong she is.

Bane’s Heart (Avaleigh’s Boys Book 2) 
by Sandra R. Neeley

Bane's Heart (Avaleigh's Boys Book 2)

Bane is solid, dependable, jaded, and painfully lonely. He is also a bear shifter, hot, sexy, dominant and panty-dropping gorgeous. He’s spent his entire life protecting his older brother from the cruelty of others, including their own parents. He’s never thought he was worthy of anything, much less a Mate. Then he sees her working in the only grocery in their small backwoods town, and he’s stunned. She calms him, gives him joy, makes him hope. His heart comes alive. But she’s young, and she’s quiet; he fears she’ll run from his obvious dominance. He decides to move slowly, earning her trust one day at a time. Then, just as he thinks things are falling into place, she crushes his soul, and disappears.

Janie has spent her entire life protecting herself and her mother from the terror that is her father. She’s always been made to believe that she was less than. She has accepted that her life will be spent alone, plain ole’ Janie, working her young life away in the local grocery. Then one day a beautiful, sexy, confident man comes into her store. She knows she’ll never be able to do more than admire him from a distance, until he smiles at her and makes her feel like the sun. But her father notices her interest in Bane, and demands that she cut him out of her life. He has other plans, and they don’t include a man in Janie’s life. He needs her submissive, and untouched.

Ricky is a small town hood and drug dealer. He’s surrounded himself with what he thinks is a powerful and imposing gang. But they made one mistake; the woman they agreed to take as settlement on a debt is Mate to a shifter. Never take a shifters Mate and expect to live! When Janie is traded to the drug dealer as payment for her father’s debt, it brings the wrath of an entire clan of shifters down upon the heads of Ricky and his gang. Will Bane be able to save his Janie? Will Janie be able to accept Bane’s true nature? Can they forgive each other and find the happiness that every shifter prays for?

This book is the second in a new series, Avaleigh’s Boys, about a group of shifters who make their home in the backwoods and bayous of South Louisiana. Their clan consists of a mix-matched group of five shifters who depend on one another and are loyal to no end. These are their stories.

Warning: Intended for mature audiences. These stories contain hot bear, dragon, wolf and lion shifters. They like to cuss, fight and love their women. This book contains explicit love scenes, lots of use of the “F” word (among others), and some explicit domestic abuse. If you are offended by these subjects, please do not buy this book.

#PNR #Review #ReleaseDay – Polarity of Us by KB Ladnier

Polarity of Us by K.B. Ladnier

My name is Daisy Lennox.
Life has been on the fast track to hell for me lately. Between my fiancé cheating on me just weeks before walking down the aisle, and my career as an author going down the drain from lack of inspiration; I’m a hot mess. When it starts to feel like nothing will look up, my best friend Hannah comes to the rescue with a vacation in mind. One that involves leaving the city life of Chicago, for a more secluded one in a small town called White Hemlock in British Columbia, Canada. I thought nothing could bring back my inspiration to write, or my ability to feel so strongly for someone again.

That is, until I met him…

My name is Bastian Urso.
I’m not completely human and my life has been a mess for as long as I can remember. My wife was taken away from me by hunters for being what we are, leaving not only a gaping hole in my heart, but also leaving me to raise our daughter Addylin alone. We left our home in Alaska not long after for this secluded city called White Hemlock for a fresh start. Here, we found the peace we needed to move on with life, Addy being the only thing holding me together. But the pain and bitter loneliness of losing my wife only seemed to get worse with every passing day.

That is, until I met her…

Two people. Two different worlds. More than two hearts at stake. Daisy and Bastian are polar opposites in almost every way, but one; loving each other more than they feel they deserve to.

***This is a standalone novel and is recommended for ages 16+ due to language and some sexual situations***

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

I sat and read this book cover to cover this morning. After reading it I had so many things to think about because there was something so new and fresh FOR ME an avid PNR reader that I needed to wrap my head around.

One of the main things that I liked about this story was that Bastian, the main character/shifter hero, wasn’t the over the top alpha like most shifter books. There wasn’t this MINE mentality. He was a sweet guy who loves his daughter and is protecting her at any cost. Does he have the Uber Alpha in him, heck yes but he is so concerned for his daughter he puts his desires/wants on hold for her safety. I liked this “sweet” guy. Which again kinda blew me away because if you read any other books by KB her guys are not SWEET *Snickers* far far from sweet.

I liked the fact our heroine is a bit lost in her own skin. She feels a bit out of place everywhere except for this small, sleepy town in Canada. I loved seeing her change and grow in this novel. She is hiding from life and her past but slowly through the love she is feeling toward Bastain she becomes confident and bolder in her wants/needs/desires.

I enjoyed the novel and the ending of the story was sweet. I mean this book was just sweet and I absolutely loved it. Again, as a fan on KB, sweet is not normally what you get…naughty is what you expect so this book was super surprising to me in the best possible way.

K.B. Ladnier is from a small city in Southern Mississippi. She has one daughter and three cats who she claims are stealing her soul in only tiny doses so she won’t notice. She is a cyborg and spends most of her time hiding from her tiny human so she doesn’t have to share her snacks as she reads her favorite books. She hates the beach yet lives only ten minutes away from it and daydreams of mountains and snow. She is married to a hot nerd and loves him dearly even though he hordes cookies and occasionally hides her prosthetic leg from her when she’s mad, so he can get a quick escape. She plans to write as long as people continue loving what she does, otherwise she’s going to say screw it and do her second dream of owning a coffee shop. Though, she may still do both.

 

#review – Picture Perfect by Jade C. Jamison

Picture Perfect

It was supposed to be just another photo shoot, just another hot guy and me for the cover of some romance book.

It wasn’t supposed to feel real.

It wasn’t supposed to be real.

But Shane was so hot and so good looking, he was picture perfect—and irresistible. So when he invited me to his place for coffee, I didn’t worry about all the reasons why we shouldn’t.

Little did I know Shane would completely change my whole world, but I just couldn’t say no…

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

What a fun book!!  I loved who Jade wrote a book about what we book lovers want to know…what happens between the cover models during a shoot!

Ivy and Shane meet and there is INSTANT CHEMISTRY!!  I mean they are pretty hot and bothered but things don’t pan out…kinda not “their time”.  The rest of the book is the next time the two meet up and what happens.

Ivy is a grad student who is realizing her naughty images could cause issues in her life.  Shane is an up and coming model who had his eye on acting and fame.  The two have A LOT to figure out and talk about but then when someone starts some drama we see Shane and Ivy dealing with the definition of what their relationship is!

Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado and has decided she likes it enough to stay forever. Jade’s day job is teaching Creative Writing, but teaching doesn’t stop her from doing a little writing herself.

Unfortunately, there’s no one genre that quite fits her writing. Her work has been labeled romance, erotica, suspense, and women’s fiction, and the latter is probably the safest and closest description. But you’ll see that her writing doesn’t quite fit any of those genres.

You’ll have to discover Jade’s writing for yourself to decide if you like it.

Blurb

 

Never flirt with temptation.
Never lust after what I can’t have.
And never, under any circumstances, screw a married man again.
 
By the time this story is told, I’ll have failed at all three… 
With my heart and reputation in ruins, I can’t afford to make another mistake. Boarding a flight to Seattle is supposed to give me a clean slate, but from the moment Cash Montgomery slides into the seat next to mine, I’m captivated by his steel eyes that see too much. I ache for this stranger in a way I’ve never ached for anyone. 
But I didn’t know he was married, and I sure as hell didn’t see the curveball fate had in store. My clean slate in Seattle isn’t so clean after all because my new boss is the man forbidden to me. 
And the only man I want. 
The only man I’ll do anything for, even if it means breaking the promise I made to myself when I fled my old life in shame. 
I wasn’t supposed to fall for a married man, but I did. 
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR: Though the subject matter deals with cheating, there are no innocent parties here. Book 1 in the Trashy Affair series.
MY HEART JUST EXPLODED
5 Stars

Holy fucking hell Gemma… this book is fanfuckingtastic! I honestly didn’t know what to expect and you would think I would since I’ve read all your crazy books! LOL! I’m trying to decide if I’m fucked up for loving this so much or if I’ve completely lost my mind all together. This book brought out so many emotions in me. I can’t even begin to explain!

Jules is such a complex character. You start out thinking she’s a weak petal that will crush at the slightest pressure only to find out she’s got courage and a backbone to boot I still think she’s extremely vulnerable, but has the capacity and nerve to acknowledge and move on in just about any situation. Time will tell!

Cash, oh God, Cash! He’s so damn hot and so damn noble and so damn maddening. He wants to do the right thing, but fuck if I know what that is. I can sympathize with his situation, but I can’t condone his infidelity. I know that nobody is innocent in this whole conundrum, but his layer of this story is breaking my heart!

Great supporting character cast.. Let’s start with Cash’s twin brother (holy hot) Kaden. This guy has his own life outside of the family business and he’s doing quite well. I’m not sure if he has anything crazy up his sleeve, but at this point I’ll keep my guard up with this one. Monica, Cash’s wife is mysterious and a little shady if you ask me. I don’t trust her further than I can throw her. Last but not least is Jules friend Leslie, she’s one of those friends that loves you and helps you without judging or asking too many question. I love her!

Ok, so order up for the Queen of Cliffys!!! Yep, that’s right, the story is not over yet and this one ends abruptly. Come on, did you really expect any less from Gemma James? This tale is profound, witty, and heartbreaking all at the same time. The storyline will definitely be a trigger for some, but at the same time it’s captivating and commanding, just like it’s characters. Once my eyes set upon the page I couldn’t tear them away. I loved it and can’t wait to see where this cracked tale will go.
