One tragic night changed sensible, proper Lady Edith Pelton’s life: when her best friend fell to her death, pushed down a flight of stairs by a nefarious lord.  Now, Edith dedicates her time to watching the man she thinks is responsible, while gathering information to expose other scoundrels posing as gentlemen of honor about London. When her spying is noticed by a perfect stranger, Edith finds herself with two mysteries—what happened to her friend, and how to win the heart of this brilliantly handsome lord.

Triston Neville, Viscount Torrington, has been tasked with two duties for the upcoming Season: see that his sisters make the most of their debut, and avoid embroiling himself in another scandal. What he does not expect is the captivating, fair-haired beauty that literally falls into his path. When the mysterious Lady Edith suddenly disappears without a trace, Triston fears his past misdeeds may have returned to destroy his life once more.

Can Triston piece together the puzzle in time to save Edith and prove that his love is nothing less than honorable?

 

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

OMG She did it to me again!!  She shocked me with this book!!  I loved the darkness of the opening prologue and then the mystery that surrounded the story!!  The Who-Done-It was great and a great way to weave the story of Triston and Edith together.

The story begins with 4 friends giggling before their friend’s wedding night.  They were helping her gather the confidence she needed for her new husband.  When suddenly, she is found dead…the three ladies set after to catch her killer.

The story jumps forward and we meet Triston and his awesome dad…please read that with full sarcasm.  Triston sees a woman in the tree but what he really sees is her knickers and well that my friends makes him go and see who this woman is!!  The couple met up a few times and he learns about her through is younger sisters who are entering their 1st season.

Edith is drawn to Triston because she thinks he may know something due to his association to their friend’s killer.  Each time they meet is more and more inappropriate then the last time.  When they kiss, well things get a little crazy because then Edith is taken and it’s up to Triston and the other friends to find her plus figure out WHO HAS HER!!!!

This book was a super-fast read.  The beginning of the book might be a bit slower than the last half but I think it’s because we are meeting all the suspects and other people of interest for the series.  I cannot wait to read Luci’s book because she is one tough cookie.  She will not fall easily and when she does look out because I think she is going to be not so happy about it!!

#WOTR #NewRelease #Review – Craving His Command by Jenna Jacob

Synopsis

After being rescued from a monster posing as a Master, Mercy O’Connor—known as Symoné at Club Genesis—craves the chance to experience true surrender. The only problem is, she’s set her sights on sexy, commanding Sir Justice, who studies her with his dissecting, arousing stare…but never offers to show her his ropes. Worse, Mercy realizes she not only craves his dominance, she yearns for the notoriously aloof Dom’s affection.

If Kellan Graham let himself believe in love at first sight, Symoné would own his heart. After having his life ripped apart, he’s spent years inventing ways to resist simple lust, but each time this beautiful submissive turns her pleading eyes to him, she ignites a complicated conflagration of desire Kellan can’t fight. He keeps his distance…until it becomes clear he’s not the only Dominant who wants her. Determined to guard his soul, Kellan invites her to kneel for him. But once he does, he realizes that falling in love with Symoné is not only a threat to his well-ordered world, it’s inevitable.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advance Reader’s Copy of this book

We are back at one of my favorite fictional places…..Club Genesis!!!!
Mercy O’Conner aka Symoné has been drawn to the beauty of the Dom/sub relationship for a while. She thought that she had found her Master that would teach her the ways of being a good sub. What she actually found was a master manipulator Davis Kerr otherwise known as Master Kerr.
In the last Doms of Genesis book he was kicked out of the club and tried to start his own by poaching members of Genesis, a few of the Masters and their subs went undercover to infiltrate it and actually ended up rescuing a few subs with Symoné being the main one who needed the help after Master Kerr continued to beat her bloody after she had used her safe word.
Now she must deal with Kerr coming threading and stalking her after she filed charges against him, charges that were thrown out.
Master Justice has been watching Symoné since she’s been coming to Genesis, watching because he knows if he got close enough to her to do the things he really wanted his heart couldn’t take it.
Master Justice is Judge Kellan Graham, after saving Mercy when Davis threatens her in the courthouse he gets closers than he intended.
Symoné knows Master Justice, well she knows of him from Genesis, she has been watching him as much as he has her. She thinks that he is the perfect Master to teach her the right way to connect with the submissive within her, however he refuses to and she can’t understand why, After all she just wants a Master of her own.
Symoné is the bratty sub that Master Justice likes, but she is also a threat to his heart and mind.
What happens next is a story of secrets, threats, and love. Will Kerr catch Mercy or will he continue to be one step ahead. Will Kellan give in to his desires? Will Symoné ever find a Master?
I’ll never tell, you have to read for yourself. It’s worth it I promise!!! I can’t wait for the next in this series!!!!

synopsis

After spending the last two years stuck behind bars for a crime she didn’t commit, Harlow ‘Princess’ Gavelson’s time inside has finally come to an end, and she’s ready for revenge. Unfortunately, being the daughter to the Vice President of the Ravage Motorcycle Club cuts into her plans, as orders must be followed. Trying to settle back into this life is proving difficult when the tables are turned and the woman who framed her is out for blood. Lucky for Princess, growing up in a MC has taught her how to hold her own.

After spending years in hell overseas, Donavon ‘Cruz’ came home to lose the very thing he went into hell for, sending him to the darkest moments of his life. Joining Ravage two years ago was his safe haven, and he protects his family at all costs.

When a dark-haired bombshell struts into the club’s shop, he’s caught off guard but immediately knows she’s the one he’d do anything for. Tough as nails, and taking no crap from anyone, he’s captivated by a woman who could handle this life. Trying to meet the needs of the MC business and follow his heart proves to be difficult when the two collide, and lives are at stake.

Can these two find a way to be together, or will the needs of Ravage cost them everything, including their lives?

Review by Becky

For some reason, the first chapter I thought….oh man…not sure I’m going to like this.  Once Princess got out of jail and went about returning to her “former” life, everything change.  Man….hot, hot, hot….Cruz and Princess. Holy crap!  Two magnets that just draw themselves to each other.  Like Cooper, calling Princess Mommy was heartwarming. Just like Princess kept thinking, there was something more that caused Babs to hate her so much.  The story line to get there took some unexpected twists.  The “Bab’s insider” was not who I thought. WTH!!!??  Princess sure has the guts!  
I look forward to reading at GT and Casey’s relationship in #2.

#ReleaseDay – Sexy Motherpucker by Lili Valente

 

Title: Sexy Motherpucker
A Bad Motherpuckers Novel
Author: Lili Valente
Genre: Steamy Romantic Comedy/Hockey Romance
Release Date: May 22, 2017

 

Blurb
When the family dog trots in with my diaphragm in its mouth—in front of my date, his parents, and his adorable little girl—you would think I’d hit rock bottom.
WRONG.
Let’s back this up a sec…
Brendan Daniels is the sexiest man alive. The captain of the Badger’s NHL team is also clever, kind, funny, and was my good friend…until we cruised out of the friend zone one weekend with a red-hot fling. Come Monday morning, I wanted to keep riding the Big O train to happy town, but Brendan wanted someone who was “stepmom” material.
A.K.A, not me, apparently.
The problem? I’m crazy in love with him and his daughter. So when he asks me to be his pretend girlfriend for a long weekend with his former in-laws, I say yes. We’re still friends, after all, and friends don’t let friends fake it alone.
***
Laura Collins is the last woman I should be thinking about taking in the back seat of my car, in the woods behind my in-laws’ house, or in a hotel room where we’re sharing one very small, very squeaky bed.
I need a steady, stable influence for my daughter, not a fling with this too wild, too young, too impulsive red head. So what if she’s beautiful and intense and passionate and has the biggest heart I’ve ever known?
I don’t want to fall in love. I really don’t. The whole “pretend
girlfriend” thing was supposed to solve my problems, buy me a little more time.
But when it comes to Laura?

Hell, maybe I’m just not cut out for faking it.

Review by Becky

Disappearance of Lady Edith (The Undaunted Debutantes Series #1) by Christina McKnight
I was given a copy of the book for an honest review.

The four close friends were talking and gossiping at the end of Tilda’s wedding to Lord Abercorn.  Giggles and happiness filled the room.  The girls decided that they had better go to bed and send Tilda to her wedding bed.  Before the girls got to their rooms, thud.  They looked to find their dear friend not moving at the bottom of the stairs dead.  Luci just knew it was the doing of Abercorn.  Ophelia, Luci, and Edith set out to prove it.  Edith was the snoopy, stalker.  To spy on Abercorn, she climbed the tree and found him with an unknown woman.  Edith feel from the tree and landed at the feet of Tristan Torrington.   Tristan got quite a show seeing the fair Edith with her dress over her head.  What a way to start a connection. Yes, sparks flew. 
The girls were determined to pin Tilda’s death on Abercorn.  They just knew he had something to do with her untimely passing.  The twist was Tristan’s ex-fiancé was his step-mother. Esme broke of their engagement and married his father.  Tristan only put up with being in his father’s house only to provide his two sisters with proper chaperoning to be introducted to society.  Horrible Esme was bragging about trying to get pregnant and they knew they would be moved to the country and not able to wed suitable men.
As time past, Edith kept after Abercorn and his actions.  In doing so, she would continue to “bump” into Triston.  Edith was losing her heart to Tristan.  He didn’t know it and thought he wouldn’t be acceptable given his past.  Tristan was losing his heart to Edith and risked his well being to save Edith when she came up missing.  The “bread crumb” trail was left by Edith’s abductor…..the evil Esme.  Of course our hero wins the heart and future of our heroine…our HEA.
I enjoyed the story line and wanted to find out how Abercorn was involved with Tilda’s death.  We still don’t know how he was involved…yet.  With the warped mind of Esme, could it have been her.  Luci is against men that treat women poorly.  Did something happen in her past to provide her with her thought process.  Will Luci’s open up to being able to find her HEA? Will Ophelia find hers?

#ReleaseDay #BDSM #Review – Master of Solitude (Mountain Masters & Dark Haven #8) by Cherise Sinclair

Master of Solitude (Mountain Masters & Dark Haven, #8)

Since childhood, Mallory McCabe has dreamed of falling in love with a hero. And then one saves her life. He’s honest…and blunt. Deadly, but filled with pain. Overpowering, yet ever so gentle with her. Oh yes, she’s found her hero. Taking him to her bed is simply…right. As is losing her heart.

How could she have known he’d want nothing more to do with her?

His indifference hurts. She vows to forget him…then he buys the land next to hers.

Released early from prison, all Sawyer Ware wants is to put his life back together. His police detective brother houses him while he makes plans. But when a violent gang targets his brother, Sawyer puts his future on hold. He’ll have to take on the gang first. After a decade as a Navy SEAL, he won’t–can’t–walk away if someone he loves is threatened.

His mission is likely to prove bloody. He sure can’t afford to get involved with a woman, especially his captivating neighbor. He hungers to be near her, to enjoy her clear laugh, her easy friendship, and the peace she brings wherever she goes. A relationship is absolutely out of the question.

Why won’t his heart obey orders?

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

EEEP!!  Its been a bit since I have read a book in the Dark Haven series but I sure didn’t miss a beat.  The men are still super yummy and the ladies are oh so sassy!!

Sawyer is an ex-con who I looking to protect his family from the gang bangers who have decided to take root in the small town of Bear Flat.  Sawyer is not about the find love in this town and the woman who are throwing themselves at him because of his convict status make him roll his eyes but when a feisty, won’t back down from a bad guy gives HIM the time of day…Sawyer is rocked to his core.

Mallory is the sweet, introvert who happens to fall head over heels for her neighbor who happened to rescue her and a young girl from a bad situation.  After a night of “fun” and miscommunication, Mallory is totally embarrassed and a bit heart hurt over Sawyers rejection of her.

The two of them continue their miscommunications and begin to rub the other the wrong way.   When the run into each other at Dark Haven…well things take a turn for the better!!

When Sawyer and Mallory decide explore things, Mallory is all in with her heart but Sawyer resists.  When Mallory lets the words slip one day she knows Sawyer feels the same way but he still rejects her heart…..but when the final rejection comes from him to her in front of the town…yup I understood but still wanted to smack him upside the head.

I loved Sawyer and his over protective heart.  I loved Mallory and her calming yet sensitive way that let Sawyer open up to her on his own terms without pushing him when he wasn’t ready.  I am super excited to read more in the series and catch up on the couple of books I have misses!!

Whenever I ask for BDSM recommendations, I am told the same two words all the time: Cherise Sinclair. ~ Under the Covers Reviews

Authors often say their characters argue with them. Unfortunately, since Cherise Sinclair’s heroes are Doms, she never, ever wins.

A New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, she’s renowned for writing heart-wrenching romances with laugh-out-loud dialogue, devastating Dominants, and absolutely sizzling sex. And did I mention the BDSM? Her awards include a National Leather Award, Romantic Times Reviewer’s Choice nomination, and Best Author of the Year from the Goodreads BDSM group.

Fledglings having flown the nest, Cherise, her beloved husband, and one fussy feline live in the Pacific Northwest where nothing is cozier than a rainy day spent writing.

An NFL player with a secret past, and the one woman with the power to turn his world inside out…
Former actress Emma Rothschild is partying in Vegas in disguise. But I’m not fooled. Five years ago, I knew that body better than my own, and I haven’t forgotten a single detail—not the curve of her hip beneath my hand or the hitch in her breath when I kiss her neck.
When Emma’s unexpectedly left alone in Sin City, I agree to spend the weekend with her. As friends. Why not? If I can knock down the toughest guys in the NFL, I’m strong enough to keep my hands to myself, even if she is the sexiest woman I’ve ever met.
Emma is part of my past—years so shrouded in secrets that not even my best friends know the truth about who I am. I’m a single dad now and not interested in revisiting my old ways or trying to win back the only woman I ever let close enough to break my heart.
But this is Vegas, where all bets are off, and with Emma, nothing ever goes as planned…

Excerpt
 

“You’re too beautiful,” I tell her. I run my thumb along her jaw. “Too fucking beautiful.”“I’ve missed you. You’re the best man I’ve ever met.”

My stomach clenches and I shake my head. “Don’t think that. It’s a lie. It’s what I wanted you to believe. Don’t bring that lie into tonight.”

“How was it a lie?” She grins up at me, and I know a full confession would erase all the happiness from her face.

“When we were together before, I wasn’t the man you thought I was. I wasn’t good.” It’s the closest to the truth I’ve ever given anyone about my past.

“So you don’t want me believing you’re good?”

I pull her hips tightly against me as I exhale in frustration. She still thinks this is some kind of joke. “I’m different now, but then…”

She lifts onto her toes and flicks her tongue against my ear. “Don’t be so different. I like you a little bad.”

I groan and stop dancing. I don’t know how much longer I can do this without diving over the line. “Is that permission to stop being your friend?” I’m obsessed with knowing if she tastes as sweet as I remember. And if I swipe my tongue over the sensitive spot beneath her ear, will she gasp like she always did?

She shrugs and grins, and the dance floor tilts off balance. It’s crowded, and we’re surrounded by writhing bodies, cocooned in the crowd. I turn her in my arms so her back is to my front and settle my hand against the soft skin of her midriff. She arches her back and rubs against me.

I sweep her hair to the side, and when I press my lips to the long, smooth column of her neck, she trembles against me.

“Are you okay?” I ask against her ear. “Is this okay?”

“I—I’m not sure…”

“Tell me what you want. Not five years ago. Not tomorrow. What do you want right now?”

She reaches back and threads her fingers through my hair to guide my mouth back to her neck.

I don’t hesitate. I kiss and suck on that tender skin while we move to the beat.

The rest of the room fades and one song blurs into the next. A waitress comes by selling shots, and I buy two, one for each of us, and we lock eyes as we throw them back. At some point, I’m vaguely aware of Bailey checking on me, but my focus is one hundred percent on Emma, on this night that takes me back to when I was eighteen and so fucking in love it hurt. Tonight, Emma isn’t the woman who once broke my heart. She isn’t the girl who wrote me off with a simple goodbye note and apologies I didn’t want. Tonight, she’s a dream, my fantasy in the flesh, my reward for surviving the hardest year of my whole life.

When her face begins to blur, I realize I’m way more drunk than I ever intended. I need to sober up or I’m not going to remember a minute of this night. “Want to get out of here?”

She nods, takes my hand, and leads me out of the bar and down the hall to the elevators. My watch reads a quarter past two.

“Let’s get some food,” I suggest, but at the same moment, an elevator dings and the doors slide open.

Emma grabs my hand and drags me inside. “I don’t want food,” she says, punching a button.

I spin her around and press her against the wall. “What do you want, Em?” I drop my hand to her side to skim my knuckles over her skirt, and she widens her stance to part her thighs. “Fuck,” I whisper. I shouldn’t do this. Not here, not when any moment someone could join us on the elevator, not when we’re both so damn drunk it’s a wonder we can stand upright. But shouldn’t is so much weaker than want, and I want to touch her more than I want anything right now.

I’m faintly aware of the soft beeping of the passing floors as I slide my hand up her skirt and cup her between her legs. She gasps, and I rub my fingers over the damp lace of her panties, teasing her swollen flesh.

When the elevator stops and the doors slide open, she grabs my wrist and holds me still. “Please,” she whispers in my ear. “Please. Don’t stop.” Then she tilts her hips and rocks against my hand. I couldn’t refuse her if every person in the hotel was watching us.

Cheater’s Regret by Rachel Van Dyken
Release Date: May 23rd

Genre: Contemporary Romance

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken returns with a smoking-hot story about the satisfaction of plotting revenge on your ex—until he turns your world upside down again.

Austin Rogers’s dreams of domestic bliss involved watching Netflix and eating hot dogs with the love of her life. But then he cheated on her. And dumped her—as if the whole thing was her fault. To maintain her pride and restore her sanity, she decides to get revenge. It feels immensely satisfying to plot her ex’s downfall—but so does kissing him.

Thatch Holloway, a plastic surgeon straight out of residency, knows he ruined the best thing that ever happened to him. But not all cheaters are created equal. He got himself into this messed-up situation—true—but he has his reasons for what happened, and he’d do it all again to protect Austin.

He’s not over her. And she’s not over him.

Austin wants closure, but since Thatch refuses to give it to her, she takes matters into her own hands. She needs to write a human-interest piece for her MBA, so she demands the full plastic-surgery experience. Sparks fly as they’re forced to work together. But Thatch isn’t afraid to play dirty in return. And he’s still hiding something—something that has the power to destroy not only Austin but their second chance at finding forever…
