angies review

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

This book I have been waiting for.  This book I have been excited for.  I mean this is Owen and Daisy who needed their HEA.  Daisy was stripped of her humanity and we need her to be normal for our Owen.  As utterly excited as I was for this story, I was really kind of let down and sad.  I don’t know if it was because I was expecting something different or what but I am just left kinda flat with the series finale.

I felt like the book was essentially 2 separate stories…Levi and the guys dealing with the Drago’s to help Daisy while Allie and the girls fighting creatures for an herb to help Daisy.  So yeah……It was a little slow at times and I was wishing for more…what more I don’t know exactly but just more………..Do I love Owen??  OMG YES!  He is so amazing and caring and just utterly perfect.  Do I Love Daisy?  YES YES YES and I think she is the perfect person for Owen.  Did I love seeing everyone again?  YES!!!  Seeing Jared having issues with Vera cracked me up.  Seeing Allie and Levi still in love and still as feisty as ever was great.  I guess I just wished the last couple of chapters wouldn’t have been the “meat and potatoes of the book.”  There was so much build up and then the book just ended????  It seemed a little too rushed to tie it up for me….maybe that is it????

I will defiantly stay up to date with the author because I love her series and all the spin offs.  Knowing that Hailey is going to get her series next made my heart happy.  I can’t wait for her story!!!

*Prequel novella to Lure (The Allure Chronicles #1)*

Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:

1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire’s nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero

Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.

There’s danger in the beauty…

Two years, six months, and twenty-five days. That’s how long it had been since I’d seen my winged hero— not that I’d been counting. I’d suffered through years of counseling just to convince my friends and family that I wasn’t crazy and knew he didn’t exist.

But he did. And I was done waiting.

Days after college graduation I headed back down to New Orleans to retrace my steps and find Owen again only to find my life was about to get even crazier… thanks to the most beautiful and dangerous of all paranormal creatures, the Allures.

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.

Title: Between Clouds and Stars
Author: Sharlyn G. Branson
Genre: Romance

Release
Date: September 21, 2016

 

Blurb
My life is perfect. I have money, power, good looks and countless women ready to do anything to get their hands on me, and my rather large package. My business brings in billions every year and my airline has the fastest airplanes in the world. In short, I have everything a man can dream of. Or so I thought until I met Estelle Klide.The second I saw her, I decided to make her mine.

Her body was sinfully sexy. She had amazing, mesmerizing indigo eyes. Her sweet scent was the epitome of temptation and evoked images of wild, animalistic sex in my mind.

I couldn’t help but fall for her – hard. Letting her slip through my fingers was not an option.

In involving myself with her, I entered waters I’d never thought I’d have to swim in. I set off on a journey filled with mystery, fear and a lot of love.

The only thing that threatened to ruin this paradise and destroy everything, was her ex-husband, who turned out to be a real monster.

The Degas Girl
Organized Crime. Dark Romance

 

Degas cover.jpgSerenity Bishop is a work of art. Her skin a canvas, decorated with the scars of her evil captor’s twisted abuse. But her tormentor, Angelo, is about to lose control.

 

Zachary Schiavelli is an art thief and forger. His handsome face is merely the mask that hides a cold, calculating man whose own childhood of abuse has honed him into a remorseless killing machine.

 

Zachary is about to take an intense disliking to Angelo.

 

In a violent tale of mob rule where violence begets violence, an unlikely alliance between two forces of nature is about to change the face of organized crime. When Serenity and Zachary collide, it’s an unstoppable force meeting an immovable object, and everyone around them is about to get caught in the crossfire.

 

A complete novel with no cliffhangers.

 

A violent tale of mob rule and dark romance. Warning contains explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and sex. Adults only.

 

 

 
degas6.jpgHe wore jeans and a turquoise T-shirt. The colour made his eyes look blue instead of green. I wasn’t fooled by his looks and his gentle ways. This man had a will of iron, and by the way he looked at me, I could see he was just as determined to control me as Angelo. He just used his tongue instead of his fists.

 

I’d go along with it, because anything that kept me out of the hole meant I had a chance to escape. I’d pretend to be docile, and as soon as he fell asleep or took his eye off me, I’d make a run for it.

 

He looked me over, frowning slightly. Suddenly I wondered if he was changing his mind. Maybe he wasn’t going to let me eat. Maybe it was a game. Maybe he’d show me the food, and then tie me up and leave me to starve while he stuffed his face. I was trembling at the thought.
          
Beast
Fantasy, Dark Romance
 

beast cover.jpgHe stuck the knife in the ground and stripped off his leathers. The tunic came off, revealing a long, lean, muscled torso, covered in tattoos. Snakes ran up and down his arms, his pecs and his shoulders. A skull blazed on his chest.

Then he was pushing apart my legs, settling between my thighs, leaning over me. He smelled of smoke, leather and musk. It was terrifying, like being at the mercy of an animal.

 

Falsely accused, Wynne is determined to clear her name. However, a trip to petition the Steward at Brighthelme turns disastrous when the Beasts, fearsome warriors from the frozen north, raze the city. When Wynne is carried away, she’s determined to regain her freedom but Rune, her captor, has other ideas.

 

Beast is set in Prydain, an imaginary place that combines Anglo-Saxon England with Medieval England, the Teutonic Kingdom and the Viking Age. This story contains kidnapping, dubious consent and graphic violence, however, it is a love story rather than a dark romance. It is a standalone novel; no cliff-hangers.

 

Warning: This book contains explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and sex.
Helpless
A Belial MC novel

 

helpless cover.jpgFracas Macintyre has been in and out of trouble all her life but this time it’s worse than ever. In debt to a loan shark, she’s caught up in a war between the Alistairs, nicknamed The Irish Mob, and Belial’s Disciples, England’s nastiest MC. Kidnapped and at the mercy of Caden Winslow, Fracas is convinced that life is going to get very nasty indeed.

 

Caden Winslow is an ex soldier used to taking care of business. When an Alistair henchman steals his beloved Busa, he simply takes one of theirs hostage and expects a simple trade will solve the problem. However, Caden is about to be pulled into a war.

 

Warning: This book is a dark romance. It contains explicit scenes of dubious consent, graphic violence and sex. It is for adults only.

 

I opened the boot, and at the sight of the girl, Crush began grinning. “Hey, is that for me, too?”

 

“You can go fuck yourself!” The little tart blew up instantly. “You evil bastard, let me go!”

 

“Whoo! I like her!”

 

Crush is a man who enjoys performing to the stereotypical outlaw biker image. This time I could see he meant it, and so did the girl. She opened her mouth, spotted Crush’s cut and went very quiet.

 

“You can’t have her. She’s my collateral.” I pulled her towards me, snapped through her ankle ties with the box cutter and threw her over my shoulder. She muttered furiously, but she’d stopped fighting. I could feel her raise her head and look over the crowd of gathering Disciples. She shivered and went limp. I guess she didn’t like the look of the party.
Crush was still curious. “Collateral for what?”
“Alistair’s man took my Busa.”
“You’re shitting me!”

 

The Bonus
A Zeta cartel novel
Organized Crime. Dark Romance

Facing a lingering and painful death at the hands of the Zetas, Mexico’s most brutal cartel, she persuades their enforcer to claim her. Has Chloe made a huge mistake, or will her choice prove her salvation – and his?

When cartel boss Artursongbird cover.jpgo Vazquez discovers his girlfriend Gina is a DEA rat and his deputy Escamilla is staging a take-over, Arturo fixes his problems by killing everyone – except for Solitaire, Escamilla’s unwilling mistress. Solitaire is intelligent, tough, and shares Arturo’s interest in BDSM. Arturo falls head over heels but someone is leaking information – and the evidence point at Solitaire.

 

songbird6.jpg

“You’re the big boss.” She looked up at me and smiled. She was dressed in a cheap cotton shirt and jeans that should be on the burn pile, but that smile was pure gold. This girl had guts.

 
“I told José he was a fool to try and cheat you,” she said. “I wasn’t part of it, and I don’t work for you. I was just in the wrong place at the wrong time.”
She’d heard about our policy protecting bystanders. Of course it doesn’t apply to anyone whose eyewitness testimony can put me in a courtroom. Well, try to put me in a courtroom. In Mexico nobody would dare accuse me, and I’ve enough resources in England to guarantee a police investigation would come to nothing, but it’s not my style to take chances. Solitaire would be going into the ground along with Escamilla.
“Mr Vazquez,” Solitaire gave me her best smile. “I don’t expect something for nothing.” She dropped her voice. “You’d like me,” she whispered. “I’ve heard about you. We’re the same.”
“Are we?”
“Yes, I can make you very happy.” She brushed my hand over her cheek and then kissed my palm. “I’m a very good girl,” she said quietly. “Unless you prefer a naughty one?”
She sucked my thumb, and I was instantly rock hard.
Dirty Dealings
A Zeta cartel novel
Organized Crime. Romance

 

dirty dealings cover.jpgI could’ve fucking strangled her. She knew it too because she stepped away quickly. “Touch me and I’ll have you!” she snarled.
“Bruja mala leche! What the fuck do you think you’re playing at! You can’t push me around!”
“Sure I can.” Her eyes were slate grey, the same colour as the sky, and just as cold. “I need help, and you’re going to give it.”
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“I’ve got a situation. I need someone who isn’t afraid of murder and mayhem.”
I should have charmed her, offered to help and maybe it would have settled it, but I was too mad to even consider it. “Help you? Over my dead fucking body!”
She shrugged. “We can do it that way, too.” She took out her phone. “I’ll call you soon, hopefully within the hour. If you still refuse, I call Smith.” The eyes were hard. “I’d rather not shop you, because I hate that bastard, but I will if you make me.”
I gave her my number. I mean, I wanted to kill her, but in London they notice things like bodies in the street. Especially if you’re careless enough to do it in broad daylight next to a cop shop.

 

Quique is having a bad time. Back in Mexico his marriage has fallen apart and his wife has made him a laughing stock by cheating on him. Now he’s in London and finding himself out of his depth with a complex commercial deal. To make things worse, Natalia Truelove, a chef and pub manager, is blackmailing him. Quique is ready to commit murder and he’s pretty sure who his first victim will be.

 

Warning: Dirty Dealings contains strong adult language and themes as well as graphic violence and fully depicted love scenes.

#WOTR #CoverReveal – At Arms Length by Amber Nation

writers-on-the-river-attendingauthor-2017

 

Title: At Arm’s Length

Author: Amber Nation

Genre: Adult, Sports Romance

Coming: November 2016

Beast:

-a wild animal that is large, dangerous, or unusual.

-an unkind cruel person

-Holden Reed

Football was everything for Holden Reed, through blood, sweat, and tears he lived his life for the game. The spotlight that endlessly followed him due to his fame, was his downfall, especially when he failed to keep his anger in check. Due to his lack of control and explosive bouts of rage, he rightfully earned the nickname, “The Beast.” And with the results of his rogue actions, he heard the one word no professional athlete ever wanted to hear. Suspension.

After what was supposed to be a mandatory time-out to straighten out his ways, he finds himself at the mercy of a beautiful Innkeeper while stuck at a Bed & Breakfast in the backwoods of Colorado.

Dutiful:

-conscientiously or obediently fulfilling one’s duty.

-motivated by duty rather than desire or enthusiasm

-Marlee Tate

Once upon a time, Marlee Tate devoted her life to a prestigious PR firm, taking an active role in following her hopes and aspirations. But with one phone call from her family, she was ready to toss her dreams aside without hesitation to be the daughter she felt she needed to be. Now, she’s back at home, forced to work at her family’s livelihood, Tate Manor.

During what was considered to be the worst snowstorm in Colorado history, the treacherous weather sent the abrupt but intriguing stranger crashing into her doorstep.

What will happen when two guarded souls collide together after being hidden away from the outside world? When half-truths come to light and hearts are meaninglessly tossed aside? Will they arise from their stubborn stupor or continue to keep each other at arm’s length?

 

 

 

At Arm’s Length Excerpt © Amber Nation 2016

 

(Unedited and subject to change)

 

My face must’ve morphed into something that only confirmed my distaste. I could never seem to keep a handle on my expressions, which was why these days I didn’t have many emotions. Pissed off seemed to work just fine for me. This woman though, seemed to bring every single one out of me. And with only knowing her a handful of minutes that realization was alarming. I needed to keep my distance from her, it was imperative. She raised her hands in surrender, the piece of cotton in between her thumb and index finger suspended in midair.

“Easy there, Tarzan. You need to relax. Your forehead is all scrunched, it’s only going to make your wound bleed more.” I flinched at the name, then immediately tried to force the tension from my brow. Making my face completely blank, which was a bitch to pull off.

Once satisfied that I wasn’t going to move, she began inching the antiseptic soaked cotton ball towards my face once again.

“This may…” Before she could get the final word out, she touched my face, eliciting a hiss to spill from my clenched teeth. “Sting.”

What she didn’t know, was that it wasn’t the sting of the medicine that caused me to flinch. It was the slow burn I felt from the soft brush of her fingertips against my skin. I felt it deep into my bones as it radiated throughout my body. I felt myself wanting to lean into her touch and demand even more.

My own fingers itched to wrap around her waist and snap closed the remaining distance between us. Oh how easy that would be. But she didn’t want that and I wasn’t one to defile a woman without her being on board. I wanted her body in every way imaginable and the thing of it was, I didn’t even know her name. So since what I wanted obviously didn’t matter I instead clenched my fists together to eliminate any temptation I had to touch her.

“Ok, Frankenstein,” she took a step back, placing her hands on her hips, the movement only made me hotter. Her shirt rose showing just the barest hint of midriff. If I was already salivating over the smallest flash of skin, how would I be able to control myself if I got her completely naked and begging at my mercy?

I knew my answer and that was why I had to keep her at arm’s-length.

I won a copy of this book from the author.

I am a busy blogger so I love serials and novellas.  I love a quick in and out story.  Now a lot of time there is an “insta-love” factor that people don’t like but when a story is under 100 pages ya gotta go with it…LOL

This story is about a senators daughter who has a one night stand with a tall drink of water at her dad’s fund raiser.  When he slips away after the night is over she is left sad and a bit heartbroken.  When he runs back into the tall drink of water bleeding out from a gun shot….well she is mad but her heart and medical degree tells her to save him and then kick his butt!!

Kane is head over heels for Noelle.  He used her and imaged of her when he was dealing with his life and job.  He is going to find her again and make her his FOREVER!!!

I liked the banter of the characters and loved how feisty Noelle is.  She is not going to be told what to do even and she makes Kane work for it!!  LOL  I loved the couple of twists like who the bad guys are and why Noelle was in the place she was to help Kane when he was shot.

It is a quick read and like I said it has insta-love but honestly I rolled with it because the characters were great and likeable plus the story was well written.

about the author

Dawn Brower works as a substitute teacher and enjoys the flexibility it gives her to concentrate on her other endeavors.

Growing up she was the only girl out of six children. She is a single mother of two teenage boys; there is never a dull moment in her life. Reading books is her favorite hobby. While she loves all genres she focuses most of her writing on historical and contemporary romance.

There are always stories inside her head; she just never thought she could make them come to life. That creativity has finally found an outlet.

“Dark, gritty and utterly captivating. I couldn’t put this book down!” – USA Today Bestselling Author, Natasha Knight

darket-before-dawn-ebookcover

Blurb:

Sixty-four days in captivity. Sixty-four days to lose yourself—or find yourself.

I’m Ava Donovan. I was abducted at the age of nineteen. I’m told I’m a survivor, but the truth is, I only survived because he saved me. Even when he kept me locked in that room—he saved me.
Constantly wondering when and how you will die, that does something to you. To your mind. But what do you do when it does something to your heart? What do you do when the man holding you captive seems just as broken as you are, when his mere presence becomes a comfort you crave—when you love him even though you shouldn’t?

You smile and tell yourself it’s okay because love has no morals.
Sixty-four days in captivity gave me a love most people will never have and my freedom took it all away.

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

What the what what did I just read?  How can Stevie make me love a crazy cold blooded killer?  How does she do this to me?  How does she get into my head and make me fall for the darkest and blackest of souls and feel they are worth my love and devotion??  HOW!!!

Max…I mean if the prologue doesn’t make you understand what is up with him then you should read anymore.  I mean that will mess anyone up…and mess him up it did.  Max is not a good guy. Period.  He is a bad guy looking to save his sister but in the mix he finds her…Ava.

Ava was out with her boyfriend when she is kidnapped and stuck in a human trafficking situation.  I mean not the way you expect your date to go.  When she sees Max she is scared but after time she feels safer with him…uhm what!!  How do you feel safer with someone who is involved with this stuff but they do.

As the story unfolds we see that Max and Ava have a past connection.  A connection we didn’t see coming.  Max and Ava’s love story is not hearts and flowers people.  If you are wanting a traditional love story welllllll why in the heck did you grab this author because she doesn’t do traditional at all.  If you like dark and twisted with a side of what the heck did I read then you will love Max and Ava’s story.

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

EEEP!!  I was so excited to start this book after finishing book 1.  I was hoping it would be Christin’s book but loved Steph’s story. I was definitely shocked at her little secret.

Steph is one of Becca’s besties from book 1.  She is the sweet, quiet friend Becca relies on.  This book we find out that our sweet friend has some skeletons in her closet for sure.  One night she is doing her thing when he sees a hottie lumberjack looking guy.  She can tell he is different but that won’t get her to make a move.  She just admires him and goes home…alone.

James is out with is annoying brothers when he sees this “Vixen”.  He needs to know about her but can’t get to her.  He is stunned and finds himself stalking that place to see if he can see her again.  This is the first woman since………….welll…in a long time to make him for get his tragic past.

Steph’s day job gets her to work for a group of guys to update the company’s software and since she is the best around they hire her.  Both James and Steph feel like they are drawn to the other but don’t realize the other from the first night.

When it all comes out…yikes it a mess.  They both want more but can’t because they work together plus her secret and his secret cause more issues and drama.

I really liked the story and really hates James DB Brother Jacob.  I loved the revenge scene.  Cracked me up big time.

I would love to get a book about Joe and Simone because I think they would have a fun time getting together.  They have a great chemistry for sure BUT I am dying for Christin and Jude…please please please get me a book with them!!!!

#review – Wicked Bond by Sawyer Bennett

Wicked Bond (The Wicked Horse, #5)

synopsis

Bridger Payne is an enigma that no one can figure out. Wise beyond his years, eerily intuitive and sexy as hell, every woman in The Silo wants him.
None can have him.
Not the real man, anyway.
He might wield the lash for you if you ask prettily, but he’ll get no gratification from it. He’ll definitely make you scream, but he won’t think twice about you when he walks away.
Bridger carries the darkest of secrets He’s filled with too much pain.
He’s utterly untouchable.
Until she came along.

**Warning: this book has sex in it. Lots of sex. Dirty sex. The Wicked Horse Series is a bit different than what Sawyer Bennett normally writes. While you’ll still enjoy fabulous characters, a suspenseful story, some witty banter and an epic romance, there’s just… a lot of sex. You’ve been warned.

angies review

I received this book from Netgalley.

Sweet Baby Jesus have I been waiting for this book…sorry but after 3person encounter scene in book one I was SOLD!!  I needed his book and dang if Sawyer didn’t make us wait and want for him.  He has been a mystery.  I have waited to see who his heart would fall for and man was it worth the wait. *Sigh*

Bridger owns the salon and seems aloof and shut down emotionally but we have seen, in the afore mentioned scene, how he is caring and concerned.  He didn’t want to hurt his friend or take for granted the situation.  He really is a good guy but he is just guarded because of what happened to him as a child.

Now our girl….I am really not wanting to tell who because its kinda a secret…I mean Sawyer didn’t tell in the blurb so I am going to call her Miss M.  She has a not so understanding family and they pretty much cut her off after some normal teenage type stuff.  She is left with no other choice and decided to be a side old lady to a not so great guy.  When situation arise, our girl runs.  Bridger is there to help her even though he doesn’t know her.  The two are such kindred spirits.  Both are broken and both are wanting to be loved unconditionally.

For real though…the chemistry of this book….top notch. I was buzzing right along with the characters.  I was dying for them both to jump in and take a risk for love!!

about the author

Since the release of her debut contemporary romance novel, Off Sides, in January 2013, Sawyer Bennett has released more than 30 books and has been featured on both the USA Today and New York Times bestseller lists on multiple occasions.

A reformed trial lawyer from North Carolina, Sawyer uses real life experience to create relatable, sexy stories that appeal to a wide array of readers. From new adult to erotic contemporary romance, Sawyer writes something for just about everyone.

Sawyer likes her Bloody Mary’s strong, her martinis dirty, and her heroes a combination of the two. When not bringing fictional romance to life, Sawyer is a chauffeur, stylist, chef, maid, and personal assistant to a very active toddler, as well as full-time servant to two adorably naughty dogs. She believes in the good of others, and that a bad day can be cured with a great work-out, cake, or a combination of the two.
