His darkest secret is revealed while her greatest fear comes to life.

New mother and Divinity, Lydia Rayners, is no stranger to heartache and loss. Her father, husband, and brother were taken from her by the demons, and now they want her son. Lydia will never let that happen, and she is determined to bring them down one by one—by herself if necessary. Her plans are going well until a certain sexy deputy discovers that she’s the rumored demon slayer and is hell-bent on stopping her.
Witch and deputy sheriff, Zach Manus, has run from his past for too long and it’s catching up to him now. He’s determined to keep his dark family secret hidden as he fights for control over his emotions and growing powers. His darker side controlled him once before, and he won’t let it happen again. But the closer he gets to Lydia, the more the darkness threatens to consume him, just as the gorgeous Divinity consumes his thoughts and threatens his resolve.
Zach is powerless to resist her, and while Lydia may understand him like no other, trusting her might unleash a new dark power that could destroy them both and put everyone they love in danger in the process.

Excerpt One:
BASTARDS.
The two demons suspiciously lurking around the front of the hospital were up to no good. Lydia was sure of it. That was why she followed them—at a reasonable distance, of course—along the streets on the south bank of the St. Johns River.
Revenge coiled inside her, creating an angry ball of power waiting to be unleashed on the demons. They would not get away with destroying everything she loved. Or hurting any innocents in their paths.
Concern for the humans was the only thing holding her back. Her Divine power may be to heal, but pain from the loss of her family fueled the dark side of her power. The side she hid and had sworn to never use. Well, never use on an innocent. Demons were far from saints.
The hellspawns stopped suddenly. The one on the left, the taller one with shoulder-length blond hair, turned his head to peer behind them as if sensing something. Her. Lydia pressed her back into the cold brick wall and tried to slow her breathing and heart rate.
Warmth grew inside her and spread out to her palms. She kept her hands fisted by her sides, not wanting the demons to see the glow of the fire she’d called just in case the bastards decided to get stupid. She also didn’t want them to see through the shadow spell she’d cast to conceal her presence from them.
After a few moments, one of the demons turned back around, shook his head, and both demons continued walking again. Lydia pulled the fire back a little and waited until the creep brothers rounded the next corner before following again.
There were too many humans around for Lydia to make her move. Even at midnight, downtown Jacksonville was hopping with humans enjoying the cooling fall night air and the array of festivities going on around the Riverwalk.
Pushing off the wall, she moved past a small group of humans and stalked after the demons. As she’d suspected, they headed in the direction of the warehouse their not-so-mighty leader, Demetrius Grayson, used as a cover for his demonic operations.
A few blocks farther, and the hairs on the back of her neck rose as a dark, oil-like residue hung in the air. A low growl from behind her told her it was another demon.
Busted.
She whirled around and thrust her hand out, releasing the fire she’d called earlier. A softball-size fireball hit the demon in the chest. He managed to let out a scream before the flames spread over his body, and he poofed into a pile of ash on the ground.
She turned at the same time one of the other demons crashed into her, sending both of them flying into the brick wall. Pain ripped through her back and head. Reaching out, she placed a palm on the demon’s chest over his heart and called her healer’s gift. The gift she’d been born with and had been able to fully use by the time she was five. Even though her Divine gift was to magically heal, she could also reverse the healing process. In this case, she used it to stop the demon’s heart from beating.
The demon’s eyes widened when he realized what she was doing. He jerked and rolled out of her reach, but the damage was already done. She’d slowed his heart, and the blood flow through his body so much he couldn’t move fast enough. Smiling, she flipped to her back and grabbed his ankle. It was enough contact for her to stop his heart altogether. He fell to the ground with a thud.
The silence of the night caught her off guard. She peered around at the empty alley. “Fuckin’ chickenshit.”
The third demon was nowhere to be seen.
And he’d seen her face.
Damn it!

Melinda’s Review

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

This is true love, the ups downs curve balls and what you do when things don’t go the way you plan. You never know where your life will lead you or who it will lead you to. Only question is do you accept it and go with it or do you try to force a path you think is your tomorrow.

Carly Lincoln has been working to climb to the top at her career. Love and family always came second to her job that she loved and always put first. Even gave up her happily ever after at one time to continue to work and travel. Then while traveling for work she meets Bryant Garrity.

Bryant is the quarterback for the Chicago NFL team and is on vacation recovering from a knee injury when he meets Carly. Like Carly Bryant doesn’t have time for relationships only has one thing on his mind his job getting back to 100% and getting a super bowl ring. But meeting Carly may change that. Can he keep her out of the media and keep his life private or will everything they are going through end up on the front page.

I loved Carly and Bryant’s chemistry but I had tears in my eyes finding out Carly’s back story and then when I saw how Bryant supported Carly when her world was changing before her eyes. Carly’s family was amazing from her sisters, mom and nephew god you got to love that kid. I also had a soft spot for Bryant’s friends and teammates especially. My heart went out to Carly and Bryant seeing everything they went through. I absolutely loved the epilogue seeing what they went through and how each family came out on the other side.

Excerpt

His citrusy, musky cologne alerts me to his presence first. Probably some expensive brand that I’ve never heard of, but damn if it’s not like honey to a bear, and I’m the bear.“So, we meet again,” he says, stopping next to me at the end of the plank.

The scent of his cologne intensifies, pouring that honey into buckets.

I glance over, and his eyes are solely on me. That damn grin is splashed on his lips.

“Don’t worry. I left my weapon in the room.”

“And your gray sweatshirt, I see.”

Too bad he replaced it with a nice pair of slacks and a polo shirt. The blue in his shirt only causes his aqua eyes to become more vibrant and alluring.

He leans close to my ear, and my breathing hiccups quickly. “NFL quarterback by day, abductor at night.”

I square my shoulders, turning my eyes directly at him. “I’m sorry, okay? But what did you expect a woman to assume? It was dark, and you were some random guy sitting alone on a beach, trying to hide your face. That bubbling personality of yours wasn’t exactly exuding when I walked by.”

I cross my arms over my chest, and his eyes focus on my pushed up breasts.

“I suppose I see your point.”

“Plus, you’re a big guy, and I think you could have handled me pretty easily,” I add.

That damn smirk grows. “So, the thought of us together crossed your mind, too?”

My face instantly heats. “I meant, you pinning me to the ground.” Once the words leave my mouth, I wish I could grab them back, but he’s too quick.

His eyes flash with excitement, and he widens his stance.

“What?” I ask out of pure annoyance to the fluster this man brings out of me.

“I’m just waiting,” he says with his classic flirtatious tone.

“For what?”

“To hear how you wish last night would have turned out.”

“Ugh. You’re impossible. A typical pro athlete who believes every girl is for your taking.”

“I’m just going along with what you’ve been telling me.”

“Let’s just get through this dinner. Then, you can go to the pool bar and use your charm to pick up a random girl for the night.”

He chuckles that hearty laugh, rolling back on his heels. “You’re one of those then?” He purses his lips and nods, as though he has me all figured out.

“One of who?”

“The girl who acts like she’d never resort to sleeping with a pro athlete.”

“First off, I’m a woman, not a girl.”

My arms clamp tighter together, and again, his vision dips to my breasts.

“My apologies. You’re definitely a woman.” The side of his lips tip up as he glances down once more.

I let my arms fall, and his eyes float back to my eyes.

“I’m not playing a game, Mr. Garrity. I assure you, I don’t want you for a night or ever.”

He steps closer, and my heartbeat speeds up, but I stand my ground, meeting his eyes and trying everything in my power to be unfazed by his nearness.

“Oh, Miss Lincoln, I think you haven’t accepted what you want, but the night’s early.”

#Review – Stranded with a Billionaire by @_JessicaClare @BerkleyRomance

stranded-with-a-billionaire

The Billionaire Boys Club is a secret society of six men who have vowed success – at any cost. Not all of them are old money, but all of them are incredibly wealthy. They’re just not always as successful when it comes to love…

Billionaire Logan Hawkings needs a vacation.
He’s had a rough time after the death of his father and the betrayal of his fiancée. But with a visit to a recent business acquisition—a private island resort in the Bahamas—he has a chance to mend his broken heart.
When a hurricane blows in, a misplaced passport and a stalled elevator bring Logan together with an unusual woman named Bronte. She’s unlike anyone he’s ever met—down to earth, incredibly sensual, and even quotes Plato.
She also has no clue that he’s rich…

Bronte Dawson, a waitress from the Midwest, is stranded with the hotel’s domineering yet sexy manager Logan. What’s the harm in a little fling when it’s just the two of them, alone in paradise? But after several steamy island nights in Logan’s arms, Bronte’s ready to give her heart—and her body—to the man in charge.

But she soon discovers there’s more to Logan than he’s told her…a billion times more. Now, Bronte’s caught in a whirlwind affair with one of the world’s most powerful men. But can their love endure their differences or will it all just blow over?

TWINSIE DEB’S REVIEW

Stranded with a Billionaire by Jessica Clare
Logan & Bronte
WOW, WHAT A CUTE STORY
4 STARS

Ok, so I read outta order… I read book #2 along time ago, but it really didn’t matter… I think all these books can be read as standalones. This was cute, comical, and sexy. Bronte is so damn adorable and amusing and Logan… what a jerkface, at least in the beginning.

Bronte is a waitress from Kansas City and she’s won a trip to the Bahamas. Well, the trip sucks… her companion is a pain in the ass, the weather is gloomy and rainy, and to top it off, during the island evacuation due to a hurricane she gets trapped in an elevator with a meanie.

Logan is wealthy beyond compare and he’s rude and stuck up to just about anyone beneath his status, which is just about every one! When he gets trapped in an elevator at his new investment resort with a waitress he doesn’t really have a choice but to loosen up and be civil.

The supporting character cast is made up of mostly Logan’s friends who I believe will all have their own books. I know Hunter does cause that’s book #2, Beauty and the Billionaire the first one I’ve read and loved. Oh and I read The Billionaire and the Virgin which is a spin off series and really good also.

This book isn’t dark, but it’s not too light-hearted either. The characters are powerful and the writing style effortless to read. There are plenty of highs and lows to keep you guessing and the climax just right. It was a fun read and I’m going to try to stay reading in order now… no promises!

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

I love this authors writing.  The banter that her characters always have cracks me up.  Hope and Royce are no different than her other books.

Hope hires her brother’s ex, Ashley to come and model for the family’s winery.  Little does she know her future would also be tagging along.  Royce is Ashley’s modeling agent.  He sees Hope and is infatuated with her sassy attitude and fierce spirit.  Hope sees Royce and is attracted to his mind annnnd hot body!!

The couple have a misunderstanding or three through the course of the novella which cause Royce to be pummeled by people…again the scenes are super funny.  The couple are falling in love but can they make it after the 2 week time limit is up.

I am looking forward to reading Val and Ashley’s book as well because those two are tripping up a great reunion by being stubborn!!

Melinda's Review

I listened to this on audio. The narrators were wonderful. I loved the way Honey Scarlett read all of Elena parts and Leeroy Will read all of Ashton’s parts no matter where they fell in the story. I was drawn in by this story and had a hard time turning it off at times.

Elena spends her days trying to please her husband. She never knows what kind mood he is going to be in and what type of punishment she will get. Elena things she is going on a date with her husband as a reward but soon finds out she is being traded to a stranger that her husband owes money to so it will clear a portion of his debt.

Ashton is determined to show Elena that she is so much better than she believes she is. He gives her opportunity to make her decisions and let her real self out. She is learning that she can open up and be herself.

This was dark at times with spousal abuse and with Ashton’s job but I so enjoyed the journey Elena went on to see her open up and grow was phenomenal. To watch Ashton help her was heartwarming. I so enjoyed Meeting Ashton’s family his dad, mom and his brother Miller. I cannot wait to see Miller find a woman that will turn his world inside out. He cracked me up when he would torment Ashton. I cannot wait to see him on the other side of that torment because I can so see Ashton dealing out payback.

about the author

Rebecca a New Jersey native has had a passion for reading all of her life. No matter the genre, turning her dreams into stories for her readers to treasure is more than she could ask for. She lives with her family wishing every day could be spent in the summer sun.

TWINSIE DEB’S REVIEW

Top Bottom Switch by Chelle Bliss
Ret & Alese
HOLY FREAKIN’ HOT
5 Mutha Effin’ Stars

Holy freakin’ hell… this petite novella is a little damn firecracker! It’s packs quite a punch for such a short story. I read this in one sitting (maybe 2 hours) and it had me laughing, cringing, and fanning myself and girly bits. Pick it up today and don’t wait to read it. Read it NOW!

Ret is 6’4″ for godsakes. Need I say more? He’s a Dom with a dilemma. He’s not pleased with his current situation and the prospects seem bleak. As luck would have it, Alese seems to be in a similar situation. Hmmmm… what could happen?

Alese is not sure where she fits into this BDSM lifestyle. Should she train to be a Domme or should she explore her options in being a Submissive? After a bad situation gets worse, I think she’s ready to throw in the towel. That is until Ret steps in!

These two have great chemistry and Chelle brings that out on these pages. The storyline is brief, but to the point. The dialogue flows and feels natural. The pacing is quick and direct. I loved this novella and I love Ret. I don’t care what Cat Mason says, that boy is MINE!

Excerpt

 

“I’ll save myself from further embarrassment by cutting in.” His voice was deep, and I caught his scent before I saw him. Jack smiled at me and made a face like he’d gotten in trouble.

“I’m off to get Arlene some more wine.” He elbowed Cole in the ribs. “She gets a little randy after she’s had a few.” He laughed and scampered away to find his wife while Cole rolled his eyes in disgust.
He took my small hand in his big one, and my entire body flushed with heat at his proximity. Our hands had never touched before. If anything, he did his best to avoid any sort of contact with me.His skin against mine was electric.Just our hands touched, but it felt as if he was touching me everywhere.He laced one arm around my waist as the notes of another ballad filled the room. We were dancing like old people, my hand in his, his arm around my waist, and my other hand resting on his shoulder.

That big, broad shoulder hidden behind his tuxedo coat.

My fingers flexed involuntarily, and I couldn’t help but notice how hard his entire body was beneath that sexy tux. My mind wandered and my mouth watered as I thought back to that picture I’d seen of him wearing just his swim trunks. That mental image mixed with the man in the flesh sent an aching need right to my core.

He pulled me just a bit closer to him, surprising the hell out of me, and I felt something rigid pressing against my hip.

Holy. Shit.

Was he as hot for me as I was for him?

No way. There was no possible way.

But his erection digging into me told a completely different story.

“What was my father telling you?” he asked in a deep rumble. I looked up into his eyes.

God, he was handsome. His milk chocolate irises had golden flecks in them that I’d never been close enough to notice before, and his breath smelled of peppermint.

I couldn’t think when I was this close to him. Words caught in my throat.

“That bad?” he asked. I sensed his nervousness.

I cleared my throat and broke our eye contact so I could think. “Just a proud father bragging about the time his son took off his clothes in a department store.”

“God. He tells everybody that stupid story. I’m surprised this is the first time you’ve heard it.”

I smiled. “It’s not so bad.”

“I was ten.”

I choked on my laugh as I tried to hold it in.

“It’s okay. You can laugh.”

I didn’t hold back, and even Cole chuckled along with me. I couldn’t help the joy that filled my heart in hearing even a small chuckle out of the man who was in a perpetual bad mood.

I made the mistake of looking up at him as we both laughed. When he smiled, adorable little crinkles outlined his eyes and he had a tiny dimple in just his left cheek. He looked carefree and young, ten times more beautiful than he had just moments earlier.

But when our eyes met, the mood instantly changed.

Neither of us was laughing anymore. Instead, an intense heat passed between us and the air around us filled with a raw and savage tension.

Twinsie for the Day

Review by Becky

Wow…..what a twisted tale Emily weaves. An ugly double murder of her parents and repeated rape by the murderer while watching the life drain from her parents. A difficult trial that ended up a mistrial and ultimate release of the guilty party. How wouldn’t be all kinds of fucked up and traumatized? Ava had daily nightmares reliving the horrible murders even though she relocated thousands of. Ike’s away.  Unknowingly Ava mets and falls for Seth Carter. A successful attorney with demons of his own and unresolved disappearance of his little brother. Holy shit the connections and twists!
Emily wonderfully weaves story wonderfully. I finally figure out the connections ….about 20 pages before Emily disclosed it.  it was a page turner and a definite must read. Can’t wait to read the next book in the Moving Forward Series. Way to go Emily!

 

about the author

I suppose you want to hear about how Emily enjoys long walks on the beach, a nice glass of wine, and wants a man with… Oh wait. This isn’t her dating profile. *Ahem* I will start again. When Emily isn’t nose deep in her latest and greatest writing adventure or in over her head with her spitfire daughter; you’ll find her emerged in the latest book to catch her eye. She doesn’t judge, she reads it all and hungers for more. She has been declared a Pinterest queen by some, and is one of the few people you’ll ever meet to actually pull off those easy looking recipes; the ones that the rest of us burn. She’d love to hear from you so feel free to hit her up on www.match *nevermind….you’ll find the links below!
