Explosive and hot! 

I know her unspoken desire when she gives me that coy look before disappearing into the row of library books…

I’ve always had the natural ability to unlock a woman’s hidden desires, but my life takes a complete 180 when I’m introduced to my true calling.

In my journey to become a Master, I make it my mission to indulge my submissives, as well as challenge them.

But I’ve discovered something equally valuable in the process. Family.

When everything I’ve worked for is threatened, I am ready to fight—and I am a man who will do whatever it takes to protect what’s mine.

Excerpt

From the 1st Chapter: Surprise Encounter
(The Library Scene)

I watch with interest as she gives me a flirtatious grin, adjusting her glasses before getting up and heading to the reference section of the library. She’s wearing a midline skirt that is conservative but still sways enticingly as she walks away from me.
Taking her cue, I set down my pen and leave my calculations on the table a few minutes later. I survey the other students here, noting that they all seem preoccupied and are not interested in what I am doing.
The librarian, however, stares me intently as I walk past her. I give her a slight nod, acknowledging her station, and watch with a sense of satisfaction as she blushes.
Heading deep into the reference section, I find my chestnut beauty hidden in the back. A smile spreads across her face as I approach.
As she opens her mouth to speak, I put my finger on those red lips and shake my head. There will be no words between us.
I replace my finger with my lips, pressing my mouth against hers.
Kissing her gently at first, I feel her body respond to mine, and I slip my tongue into her mouth.
She moans softly, so I pull away shaking my head. The only way this continues is if she stays totally silent.
Looking at me with those sultry eyes, she tilts her chin up, begging for another kiss.
I claim those sensual lips again while my hand begins exploring her curves. As my hand moves downward, I grasp her waist, pulling her against me so she can feel my growing excitement.
It has been a while since I’ve felt the thrill of penetration, and my cock aches in anticipation of it.
Hiking up her skirt, I push her back against the shelves, the scent of old books surrounding us as I feel between her legs. Her panties are already wet, letting me know she’d been fantasizing about this encounter ever since she sat down next to me.
Naughty girl…
I slip my hand under the thin material and struggle not to groan when I feel the slick warmth of her pussy. My body burns with desire.
Knowing time is of the essence, I slip her panties down to her knees and unzip my jeans.  I pull a condom from my wallet and watch her eyes widen as I roll it down over my hard shaft.
Sliding the head of my cock against her tight opening, I take a few moments to build up the sexual tension. The sound of a low cough echoing from somewhere in the library only adds to the excitement of what we are about to do.
Looking deep into her eyes, I lift her leg to open her pussy to me and slowly push my cock into her.
She makes the barest of sounds and I immediately pull out, raising my eyebrow. Looking at me desperately, she bites her lip to show she’s serious about keeping silent.
I kiss those red lips again as I slide my shaft back into her, pushing even deeper. She trembles with need when I begin thrusting. The excitement of having sex in the college library has both our hearts racing.
The small beads of perspiration on her skin cause those sexy glasses to slip down the bridge of her nose. I take them off and carefully set them on a shelf before gripping her buttocks tight. I begin stroking her deeper while keeping eye contact as I climb toward climax.
I want her to join me and pull out slightly so I can reach down between her legs and play with her swollen clit while I continue to thrust into her with my hard cock.
Unfortunately, the cougher seems to be on the move and, by the sound of it, he’s headed straight toward us.
It seems the idea of being caught turns my chestnut beauty on, because her pupils grow wider just before I feel her pussy squeeze my shaft with her orgasm. My body instinctually responds, thrusting deeper as I follow with my own climax.
I quickly pull out, slipping my cock back into my pants, condom and all. She barely has time to pull up her panties and fix her skirt before he walks by our section.
I lean into her, kissing her passionately to hide the reason for her panting breath, then turn to give the guy a hard stare, letting him know he’s interrupted us.
He shrugs, giving me an apologetic grin before covering his mouth and wandering off amid another bout of coughing.
I look down at her and smile as I gently place the glasses back on her face. Giving her one last kiss, I signal that she should leave first. She glances back at me with that coy grin just before disappearing around the corner.

I received this book for an honest review.

*sigh* Hash and Stephan

Hash is ready to get away for a little while taking a ride he stumbles across a haunted house/corn maze. Something he is not into but when he sees the bikes he decides to stop. He is on a mission to find Stephan and OH man does he find him.

I loved reading this and seeing King, Hash, and Stephan. I was cracking up watching Hash navigate the haunted house. Not gonna lie I would have wanted to throat punch anyone who jumped out at me.

I have to say I enjoyed reading this one but it left me wanting more of the Mercy MC.

Wicked is still tattooing, with her rock n’ roll familiar, Bruce. The difference now is she is happily mated to a sinfully wicked and sexy panther, Thorne.

As the past comes back into Thorne’s life, misunderstandings and danger are in the mix. With a new threat looming Wicked and Thorne have more than themselves to worry about.

Welcome back to the town of Assjacket for more wickedly hilarious mixtures of paranormal personalities.
Fall in love with Wicked , Bruce and Thorne in…. Wicked *tch bk 1 in the Magic and Mayhem Universe by Teresa Gabelman

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

OMG Wicked, Thorne, and Bruce are back.  I love this couple and Bruce. This one cracked me up as much as the first book.  I think everyone needs a Bruce in their life.

Thorne is ready to move things along and move in together but Wicked just isn’t sure. When Wicked decides it is time to let him know her decision she fixes him a meal. Well let’s just say that didn’t go quite as Wicked had planned and things snowballed from there. Bruce had me rolling and when he told Wicked he would have “his boys” take care of Thorne I about lost it.

Thorne will not give up and will keep waiting for Wicked no matter what she says or thinks. We even meet new characters which I would love to find out more about. I was almost in tears when Bruce did what he did to help Wicked.  And what a surprise at the end of this one I cannot wait for the next story.

Despair. Hunger. Pain. Need.
It started the moment she bumped into me.
Ecstasy. Danger. Seduction. Terror.
She was off-limits, but it didn’t stop me from wanting her.
My life was empty. My thoughts were dark. My heart was stone.
Feeling unwanted for most of my life, I didn’t know where I belonged or what my purpose was. He was all I had until she came along and brought out emotions I never knew were possible. She was innocent. Pure. Untouched. She was the daughter of a rival club member, but that didn’t stop us. It only heightened the desire, the passion we felt. We were happy…until someone she trusted made a move that no one saw coming…

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

All things holy Tray is my new favorite male. Just when I thought I knew him wow I had no idea.  This is somewhat of a Romeo and Juliet.

Tray is a nomad that has stayed with the Hell’s Harlem for a while but when he meets the beautiful sassy Zillah she captures him. However, Zillah is off limits she is the baby girl of the rival MC President.  Zillah has been protected from the outside world and the MC world by her father. Now that she older she is ready to break free from his protection.  She feels a pull to Tray and she is ready to follow it.  There is so much going on with Tray right now with trying to keep his relationship with Zillah under wraps and trying to restore his relationship with his best friend Catch for the wrongs Tray did by him.

The twist and turns in this one were absolutely shocking and the deceit was strong in this one. The insta-attraction Tray and Zillah was amazing. The chemistry and banter between these two was great. I loved Grayson but Tray just pulled me over to his side. I am excited to see what will come next in this series. J.M. does a great job of keeping me on my toes and flipping those pages. She really knows how to tell a story and drag you in.

J.M. Walker is an Amazon bestselling author who loves all things books, pigs and lip gloss. She is happily married to the man who inspires all of her Heroes and continues to make her weak in the knees every single day.

#WOTR2019Attending #Shifter #Review Forbidden Secrets (Lee County Wolves Book 5) by Teresa Gabelman

Forbidden Secrets (Lee County Wolves Series) Book #5 by [Gabelman, Teresa]

On the run since the murder of her parents, time has come for Leda Kingsman to take her rightful place as pack leader. First she needs to fight for what was stolen from her and her little brother, Sam.

A shifter without a pack, Taz Whelan worked his way into the Lee County Wolves as a tracker. Always the loner, Taz never found anyone he wanted to spend more than five minutes with. That’s until stubborn Leda entered his world.

As Leda leaves the Lee County Wolves under false pretenses, Taz lets her go, a decision that haunts him. When he discovers the true reason and what she has been keeping from them all, nothing will stand in his way as he searches for her before the forbidden secrets she holds takes her from him forever.

Goodreads

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.
OH my Goodness finally its Leda’s story. We have seen her grow as a young teen to an amazing woman ready to avenge her family.
We get to know Leda when her, her brother, and Janna walked into Lee County territory. We saw Leda’s and a favorite of mine VC Warrior Steve’s relationship. Leda is all grown up and ready to take back her pack that was suddenly taken from her. She sets off on her own to right the wrong. She doesn’t tell anyone her true plan for fear she will put her new family in jeopardy.
Taz who has known Leda was his since the first time he saw her but he was willing to wait it out tell she realized the truth about them and didn’t like Steve handing around. When Taz realized he let Leda leave Lee County he is now hell bent on finding her. HE even enlists the help of the one person he cannot stand Steve, yeap you read that right. All I can say is Steve is Steve and all but drives Taz or should I say Tax insane.
Leda is in search of her uncle to avenge her parents deaths. Little did she know the ones she was protecting were on the way. Her pack and the VC Worriers have her back and will no matter what.
Will they all walk away or was Leda right in trying to keep them all away.
This book was amazing we meet Leda’s old pack, her BFF Jamie and Jamie’s brother, Malcolm. I love the chemistry between Leda and Taz, and the interactions between Taz and Sam stole my heart. I am more excited for this series. There are so many possibility with the Lee County pack. I cannot wait to see where Teresa takes us next.

#WOTR19 #Review – Tyson (Arial Kimber Novella 4.5) by Mary Martel

Tyson: An Ariel Kimber Novella

Tyson is 4.5 in the Ariel Kimber Series.

Tyson Alexander is a long time member of a coven of witches who are more like brothers than simply friends.
There are seven of them total in the coven and all of them are male. The majority of them come together from broken, messed-up families and have nothing else in this world that matters outside of each other.

Then, six months ago, everything changed when they shared a dream about a beautiful, sad girl who was just like them. That’s to say, a witch.

Then, she moved in next door to them and changed their entire lives, turning everything upside down.

And they all, every single one of them, loved her for it.

This book is a part of a series and needs to be read in order. It’s also #whychoose.
Ariel Kimber reading order:
Brothers of the Flame
Love Potion
Blood Magic
The Ties That Bind
Tyson

Goodreads

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

My heart goes out to Tyson.  Although I was not very happy with him in the last book I have to say he is on the path to making me see the greatness in him.  He is not without flaws I mean he did ask Arial to keep things from his brothers. He has so much guilt going on because he feels responsible for tearing his family apart. They mean everything to him and he would do anything to protect them.  I love how we get to know why Tyson is the way he is.

Ever since the day Arial pulled them all into a dream their focus has been to treat her the best they can and protect her.  I do like that we got to see behind Tysons walls because man can he toss them up fast.  It is amazing the way the brothers are such a tightknit coven and only want what’s best for Arial. Then when you see how none of them get jealous of one another for spending time with Arial only makes me think so much more of them. They truly want and need Arial to love all of them.

The ending was the best with all of them together as a unit. I am so ready for more of these brothers and Arial. I enjoy learning more and more about these guys but I like that we find out about each one right along with Arial.

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.

 

 

#Review – Steamy Kisses (Matchmaker 2: A Reverse Harem Romance) by Jade C. Jamison

Steamy Kisses: A Reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker Book 2)

One man down. Four to go.

Claire might have thought that having one less man to deal with in the reality show Matchmaker would have made her life easier, but she was wrong. As they all get to know each other better, Claire discovers that being compatible with each man doesn’t make him an ideal mate. And, as they make their way through another week of dates, Claire finds that one of them doesn’t even want to be there…

Goodreads

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

So this one starts with the elimination and we get a whole new set of dates. I wonder how having one of the guys leaving would change the dynamics between the guys and even with Claire. This one started out with my heart in my throat. I’m telling you it is intense. Then the games begin now last time it was a physical challenge this time it was a mental challenge.

We get to see more of the guys personalities but at the same time we only see what Claire sees. I think there are things the guys are hiding from Claire. These guys I’m telling you they bend the rules and sometimes take it too far to get what they want. The dates that stand out the most to me were Darius and Grayson’s dates not because of where the guys took Claire but because they took time to talk and get to know more about Claire. There were some great dates and then there were some just OK dates.

Some rules were changed and some rules were bent a bit we got to see how each guy reached to things that occurred on their dates. Some handle things better than others. I’m seeing the ones that are all about Claire and who are all about themselves. I am cheering for Grayson and Darius to go to final two. These two always stand out to me and I really want to get to more about them. Now we have to wait to see who is the next one to go and what will be in store for Claire next.

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging than Dirty Dancing, she–like Baby–won’t be put in a corner…or a box. So even though you can’t really stick her books in one genre, you could say she mostly writes steamy Contemporary Romance–and, while you’re at it, you’ll notice in her stories that Jade freaking loves Colorado, hard music, coffee, bad words, and CHOCOLATE!!! And so do her characters.

Oh, and there’s always a glimmer of hope…because if life doesn’t have that, what’s the damn point?

 

#Review – Looking For Love A reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker #1) by Jade C. Jamison

Looking for Love: A Reverse Harem Romance (Matchmaker Book 1) by [Jamison, Jade C.]

One woman. Four weeks. Five men.
Just one chance.

After years of putting love on the back burner and struggling to break into Hollywood as an actress, Claire jumps on an opportunity to do both—by accepting the chance to be the pursued woman in a reality television show called Matchmaker.

Choosing among five men hand-picked specifically for her should be easy, but by the time she discovers that not all of the men are ideal, it’s too late. And when Claire attempts to salvage the situation, she’s met with the harsh reality that she doesn’t have a choice after all…

Goodreads

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

Ok so I have to admit I’m not in to the whole reality TV thing. My husband on the other hand is and I usually read when his shows are on. I will say Jade hooked me on this one. We are tossed in with the first challenge then one on one dates. The sexual tension is very high in this one.

Claire wants to find love and thinks she will be able to find it in one of these five men.  Get to know each one figure out who is not a match with you and narrow it down to one guy. Easy peasy right…uh not really.

We get to meet the guys on her one on one lunch dates.  These guys personalities are all so different but the show states they are all compatible mates for Claire.  All the guys have to abide by certain rules but as we all know rules are meant to be bent and sometime broken.

The guys personalities really come out on their one on one dates. I have to say I have already stereotyped them.  I know who I love, who I dislike, and yes even what order I want to see them go off.  But wait there is a twist at the end….SAY WHAT!!…yeap we find out who gets to decide which guys goes home and which ones stay.  Let’s just say I was sitting here saying NO WAY.  I am so ready for book 2 I need to know who will be the first one booted off the show.  I know who I want it to be but my gut tells me it will be someone else.

 

“Nobody puts Baby in a corner.” While you’re more likely to see Jade headbanging than Dirty Dancing, she–like Baby–won’t be put in a corner…or a box.

#WOTR #Review – Ronan (The Protectors #12)- by Teresa Gabelman

Ronan (The Protectors #12)

Most think that newest VC Warrior, Ronan McDonald, is just a laid back cowboy. What they don’t see is the inner turmoil that only his small ranch and horses can tame. At least that was the way it had been until a witch with a beauty none could deny walked into his life.

Running has been Kira Grail’s life for as long as she can remember. It isn’t until she meets a VC Warrior that she realizes she is growing weary, but the forces chasing her will never bend.

Ronan doesn’t believe in witches or curses. What he does believe is that only he can keep Kira safe. Together they fight to bring the once powerful warlock, Orjyll, to his knees releasing the women of the Dragonfly Coven. During their perilous journey Kira vows to keep her distance, but the vampire cowboy has other plans.

Goodreads

Amazon

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

I think I may have just put another warrior at the top of my list next to Jax and Blaze. Really I’m a southern girl so when I hear cowboy hat, boots and horses well let’s just say I have been waiting for Ronan.  Plus I am a sucker for the quite mysterious guys.

Ronan is protective, patient and loyal. You see this in him throughout this book when he deals with the warriors, the trainees, his horses but mostly with Mira.  I have to say what Ronan does for Steve and Mira is a testament to his big heart. Ronan realizes Kira is his mate and he is determined to keep her safe no matter what. Can Ronan tame her need to run and keep everyone out of harms way? Kira is not one to sit around she is use to running and not getting anyone involved.  Especially now that she knows what powers she holds.

I enjoyed getting to know Ronan and Kira more. I also enjoyed seeing everyone else also. Well I could have done without Jared’s pouting. Let me tell you that was a whole new side to him and it did not look good on him. Steve well he is Steve and to see him with Mira was absolutely heartwarming. Let me tell you the warrior’s women are amazing they are strong and not ones to sit on the sidelines.  Man did they really jump into things in this book.  The twist ugh I never saw that coming and I so wanted to hurt someone and you will know exactly who when you read it.  With the twist it brings in some new players and I cannot wait to see what is going to happen next.

A few of my favorites:

“What are you grinning at?”
“Just wondering when I’m going to see a girl fight.” Steve’s grin grew. “Do you guys use magic or just throw down.”

“I think I’m going to have to see a doctor.” Steve’s voice was high pitched, making all the men laugh harder.
“Slade!”
Every one glanced toward Slade, who shook his head with a big grin. “The day I have to look at your nuts is the day I rip up my doctor’s degree. Ice that shit, and that’s all I have to say.”
