synopsis

Let the games begin…

Runaway Zelda Wilder will do whatever it takes to secure a better life for her and her sister Ava. Crown Prince Rowan Westringham Tate will do whatever it takes to preserve his small country.

When Zee is blackmailed into helping a vengeful statesman take down Rowan, she never expects she’ll be pulled into a web of lies and international intrigue–much less that she’ll find herself falling for Cal, Rowan’s “playboy” younger brother.

Ava’s no help, as she finds quiet walks in the moonlight discussing poetry and leadership with the brooding future king irresistible. Even more irresistible is kissing his luscious lips.

They’re in over their heads, and the more time passes, the more danger the sisters are in. Shots are fired, and it’s soon clear even a prince might not be able to rescue these players.

Cinderella meets Ocean’s Eleven in this ADULT CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE featuring secrets, lies, royal high jinks, scams and double-crosses; breathless, swooning lust, cocky princes, dominant alpha future-kings, and crafty courtiers, who are not always what they seem. Readers 18+ only, please!

Twinsie for the Day
Review by: Jordan
I didn’t know what to think about the start of this book, Zee has me twisted on who I should agree with and who I should hate. The relationships in the story were all over the place. When the opportunity to complete the biggest con of her life arises, what other choice does she have but to say yes! Once she makes it to Monagasco, everything she thought would happen falls apart before anything could even begin. So the relationships in the book had me up and down. I never knew who I wanted with who or what I hoped would happen until it finally happened. I fell in love with the characters and the relationships that they created. Rowan and Cal are two of the hottest brothers I’ve read about in a while and are both dreamy in their own ways. I loved the story and I am dying to dive into the sequel and find out how the story will end!

PROLOGUE

PRESENT

PREPPY

Tiny flashes of dim light spark in the darkened corners of my mind. Slowly, it turns from dusk to dawn, awakening my thoughts as the inner light grows brighter and brighter.

I hear a sound, a faucet running, and I realize it’s the blood rushing through my ears. When it reaches my heart I choke as it comes back to life like a bass drum. Boom. BaBOOM it beats, on and on, until it falls into a quick yet steady rhythm. The new life inside me grows louder, stronger, until death fades away and I awake on a gasp.

My eyes spring open. I try to take in air, but nothing happens. I try again and my lungs burn as they finally decide to cooperate. I can breathe, but it hurts like a son of a bitch.

I’m fucking alive.

My first thoughts shock the shit out of me. They’re of a girl. A sad looking girl with shiny black hair and huge dark eyes sitting on the edge of the water tower.

My heart falls out of rhythm, beating faster and faster until it’s thrumming against my chest like the vibration of a jackhammer.

Her.

Although my vision is blurry as shit, my thoughts of her are clearer than they’d ever been, and for the first time in my adult life, I’m fucking scared.

I don’t even need to see the big motherfucker standing over me with a baseball bat to know I am completely and totally fucked.

Samuel Clearwater, A.K.A Preppy, likes bowties, pancakes, suspenders, good friends, good times, good drugs, and a good f*ck.

He’s worked his way out from beneath a hellish childhood and is living the life he’s always imagined for himself. When he meets a girl, a junkie on the verge of ending it all, he’s torn between his feelings for her and the crippling fear that she could be the one to end the life he loves.

Andrea ‘Dre’ Capulet is strung out and tired.

Tired of living for her next fix. Tired of doing things that make her stomach turn. Tired of looking in the mirror at the reflection of the person she’s become. Just when she decides to end it all, she meets a man who will change the course of both their lives forever.

And their deaths.

For most people, death is the end of their story.

For Preppy and Dre, death was only the beginning.

This is the fifth book in the King Series and it’s meant to be read after Soulless.

angies review

 

I received this book for an honest review.

*Snort* Yes I am still laughing at this book.  I mean if you like funny and insane then this my friends is a book for you.  I mean the first chapter had me LAUGHING so hard and out loud.  It’s an over the top yet so much fun read.  I think that if you enjoyed Tara Sivec’s writing then you will need to read these as well!

Erica, the main character is soo me….packing on a few pounds and hating the way she looks she decided to go to the gym.  Holy Mother of God who is the work out sadist…errr…coach??  Why yes hottie from high school Zach that’s who!  The banter had me cracking up at parts and laughing so hard.  When the two are flirting and thinking about the good old high school days there is a bit of drama which causes Erica and Zach to spend more and more time together which makes them become more and more attracted to each other.  The chemistry was hot and their relationship was a wild ride.  The suspense storyline was good but you can kiiiiiiinda figure it out but the twist we get was something I wasn’t expecting!!

Yes there were times I was gonna vagina punch Erica for letting her insecurities push Zach away and same to him with a solid nut punch because he would compare Erica to women from his past but generally I loved the two.  I laughed so hard and was thrilled when the book 2’s story line started to take shape…man Mason and Shondra are gonna be so much fun to read because he opened his mouth and inserts his foot A LOT around her!!  LOL

Excerpt

The elevator doors closed and he pushed her against the wall. He caught her mouth in a wet, hard kiss. His tongue traced along her lower lip and she opened, ready for him. He slipped in his tongue, deepening the kiss and skirted his hands down her hips until he grasped her rear and squeezed.

Vivi’s insides melted and flowed toward her center. Her breasts grew heavy. She needed more.

The elevator dinged, signaling arrival on their floor. He broke the kiss and stared into her eyes. His were dark and dilated with a driving passion. She touched her lips with her fingers but only for a moment. He grabbed her hand and pulled her from the elevator car. As they hurried toward their suite, he dug the magnetic key from his pocket. It took a couple of tries to get the door to release, all the while she was getting more and more frantic to touch him.

The door finally swung open, and Shade pulled her through, slamming and locking it behind her. He pushed her against the door and took her mouth in a bruising kiss. His hands slid down her arms until he laced his fingers with hers. Never breaking the kiss, he jerked her arms above her head and held both of her wrists with one hand.

Vivi twisted in his hold, trying to get closer. He kicked her feet apart until he could stand between her thighs. She wrapped one leg around him, widening the space. He pressed the hard bulge behind his zipper against her aching center. She moaned and arched, rubbing herself on his hard cock.

He released her wrists so he could use both hands to tug her shirt over her head. He dipped his tongue in the valley between her breasts before nuzzling the flesh above the lace of her bra.

“I will never make fun of Walmart again,” he said, gliding his lips along her skin. “But it’s time for this to go.” He popped the bra’s clasp. She let the straps slide down her arms and drop to the floor.

“Beautiful,” he whispered and took one breast into his mouth. He sucked hard, pulling and tugging her into his mouth. She groaned.

“That feels wonderful,” she said. “More.”

He pulled back and caught the nipple between his teeth. He bit down. She gasped from the gentle pain. Then he licked where he’d bit and she mewed her pleasure.

“Like that, did you?” he said. “Let’s try the other side.”

He took her other breast into his mouth and drew it deep. His cheeks sunk in from the suction. The sight sent shock waves of lust rolling through her veins.

Her head dropped back to the door. She was beyond aroused. The need to touch him overwhelmed her, so she jerked his shirt from his jeans and allowed her fingers to glide along the hills and valleys of his abdomen. He was incredible but she craved skin-to-skin contact. Her mouth was desperate for a taste of Shade.

“Shirt. Off,” she said with a groan.

He broke off sucking long enough to yank his shirt up and off without unbuttoning it. He tossed it on the sofa with hers.

“Oh, yum,” she said and leaned over to run her tongue over the area her fingers had just explored. “My turn.”

She grabbed his shoulders and he let her reverse their position. She rubbed her nose along his chest. His scent filled her senses and sent shivers down her spine. She flicked out her tongue and skimmed it across his nipple. He threaded his fingers through her hair.

“Oh, princess,” he growled. “What am I going to do with you?”

She pressed a kiss to his chest, then left a line of wet ones up his throat to his mouth. “Kiss me,” she said against his lips. “Make love to me.”

angies review

I received a copy of this book from the author.

When Alyson, the queen of smut, says she is going to write a NA adult book…I giggled.  I mean smut lady writing new adult??  AS IF!!  She is just pulling her readers legs.  No way you go from writing WHAT SHE WROTE in Triztan to a sweet romance…….But holy crap did she do it AND not only did she do it but she knocked it outta the park.  I loved Triztan and his filthy mouth but Jesse and his sweet defending of Summer’s honor.  OMG I can’t believe it!!  Like NO FREAKIGN WAY but Jesse stole my heart.

Jesse and Summer meet at Summer’s grandpa’s ranch.  She goes there to hide from her mom and the pressures of the skating world.  She is lost, confused and hurting.  Jesse is sentenced to the ranch as a place to serve his time for the trouble he got into in the city.  The horrors he witnessed as a young boy and what he did to survive make you respect him like crazy.  Given what he has seen and done you really gotta give him props for doing what he had to do to survive on the streets.

Jesse and Summer are kindred spirits.  Both are not like their peers and want more but what more they have yet to discover.  They both realize they can talk and be themselves when near the other.  The love of her grandpa’s ranch starts a friendship that buds into more until Summer had to leave suddenly.

As time jumps, the two are still thinking about the other but they just haven’t gotten the right time….she has school and he has his sentence to finish.  Time doesn’t stop them from thinking about the other and wondering “What if”……………They are moving forward but not really moving on.

When more time happens and Summer finds out about another change in her life, Jesse is her rock.  Their friendship develops beyond friends and they are falling in love with each other thanks to a little push from a special person in their lives.

This book was so emotional……I had lots of teary moments and full on sob sessions.  I loved how the books has a slow build with Jesse and Summer’s chemistry.  We fall in love with them and their love story.   The last few chapters are time jumps so we can see what happens to the couple and I gotta tell you…I loved it.  I can SEE Alyson putting her own heart and soul into the novel at certain scenes and her emotion is clearly visible in the book.  If you don’t cry, you have no pulse….LOL

excerpt

“What do you think of this one, Summer?” Angie asked, showing off a white, strapless dress.

“I think it looks great on you, if you’re looking to get married.”

“Ugh. Why is this so hard?”

“Probably because your hair is the color of a rainbow, and everything clashes with it.”

“Bitch!”

I laughed. “You know it’s true.”

“Yeah, yeah, yeah.”

“Why don’t you just go with black? Everything matches that.”

“You know, that’s probably what I’ll end up doing.”

“That’s what I’m wearing.”

“Shut up. You’re wearing black because your boyfriend Jesse isn’t taking you to prom.”

“Maybe.”

“What would you do if he showed up?”

“What? What kind of question is that? You know he’s not going to, so why are we playing this game?”

“Oh. Oh. Oh. Because I want to know. What would Summer do if her hot bod, boyfriend showed up to prom?”

“Well, he won’t, so…”

“Come on. Spill it, Jacobs!”

“I don’t know. Dance?”

“Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Ha. Give me a break!”

“Well, isn’t that what you do at prom?”

“No. There’s a lot more that you do at prom.”

“Um…okay. Like what?”

“Stay out all night.”

“Alright. If Jesse showed up, we’d go to dinner, then the dance.”

“B.O.R.I.N.G.,” she yawned.

“What do you want me to say? That I’d take him to a hotel room, rip his clothes off, and have wild and crazy sex with him?”

“YES!!!”

“You’re ridiculous, Angie.”

“Why? Because I made you admit that you want to see him naked and have wild and crazy sex with him?”

“No. Because your mind always goes straight to the gutter.”

“You know what they say about girls that have dirty minds, right?”

I rolled my eyes. “No, do tell me.”

“We’re smarter.”

“That makes absolutely no sense. You do realize that?”

“It’s true. I read it in my teen magazine. They said that girls with dirty minds masturbate more often; therefore, letting their endorphins kick in. It has something to do with releasing a certain chemical into your brain, and that’s why it makes you smarter.”

“So…if you’re a horny girl, you’re smarter?”

“Yep. They’ve even proven it with science.”

“I’m calling bullshit on that one, Ang.”

“Whatever, Summer. Science doesn’t lie.”

A lady concealed from society…
Lady Ellington, the illegitimate daughter of a wealthy marquis, has spent her entire life hiding from London’s high society—both as a result of her own desires and those forced upon her by her overbearing and abusive father. When the marquis passes away suddenly, Ellie feels as though a weight has been lifted and immediately assumes her role as mistress of Drake House. Though she is constantly looking over her shoulder, wondering when it will all be taken from her. And for good reason—no sooner has she shed her black mourning garb than a missive arrives, announcing an heir to the Marquisate. A person she has never heard of before, but one with enough power to change her fate entirely.
A man uncovering the secrets of his past…
Taken in by his nursemaid in infancy and raised as an orphan, Alex has never had the benefits of a name or a bloodline. Yet he’s content to work hard and earn his keep as a stable hand in one of London’s finest homes, proving himself worthy of both his position and his friendship to the beautiful Lady Ellington. When Ellie asks for his help with a delicate matter, he’s happy to oblige, but soon finds himself in the middle of more than he bargained for. His innocent meeting reveals secrets from the past that he never could have imagined, and he discovers that he’s a duke by birth. But even with the possibility of a title and all that goes along with it, Alex is unsure whether he can tear down the walls Ellie has built to protect her heart.
A love neither can hide…
While the two have a love that’s undeniable, it may not be enough to bridge the gap and overcome the obstacles standing in their way. And now, with every secret revealed, there’s even more at stake.

EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT:

“Ellie,” Alex said, his face only inches away. “Have you listened to a thing I’ve said?”
No, she didn’t want to listen; she only wanted to flee the room—the house entirely—and leave everyone behind.
She blinked rapidly and focused her gaze on his face—so stunningly handsome. Why had she never realized how truly, strikingly beautiful he was? It wasn’t until one was faced with the possibility of losing something that they finally found clarity.
“That paper does not matter…” His words faded once more as the thoughts fought for control over her mind. Of course, the papers didn’t matter—he would not agree to marry her. Why would he? She was a bastard. She was without a mother.
And he, Alex, was to be a grand duke.
Society—and every marriageable debutante—would be at his fingertips.
He would have no use for her. She was a liar, a coward, and not worthy of the love of a faithful man.
And she’d fooled herself into thinking it was she who didn’t need him.
“Do you not have anything to say?” Alex asked, moving his hold to her hand. “Your hand in marriage will make all that’s to come bearable—I want it all with you by my side or none of it.”
It was her turn to stare, her jaw slack. “Did I hear you correctly?” she mumbled.
“Ellington,” Alex started over, and she was grateful for it because she’d blocked every word, fearing them. “Will you honor me by taking the title of Lady Chastain—forever more to be my wife? You shall never want for a name or a home again.”
“But…“ Ellie couldn’t seem to put all her thoughts into cohesive sentences. “Why me?”

BoundToSurrender
Synopsis

After suffering a brutal hate crime, submissive Trevor Hammond’s outward appearance projects the usual carefree demeanor his friends know and love. But inside, the remnants of his battered psyche and the ghosts of his assailants keep him bound in chains of anxiety.

While his Master, Moses Abrams, aka Daddy Drake, is aware of the devastation consuming his precious sub, he finds himself powerless to neutralize his lover’s demons. Embarking on an unconventional journey, Drake is determined to find a way to heal and bring back the man who owns his heart.

Will his love be enough to draw Trevor back from the darkness?

Received a copy for a honest review

Yay, Moses, aka Daddy Drake, and Trevor finally get their book!! I have been waiting for their book since Embracing My Submission!!!!
It really bites that it happens to be after the events in Seduced by My Doms, but this is where they needed to be.
Trevor has always been this bubbly, happy go lucky sub; the sub that everyone at Club Genesis, Dom and Subs alike, love.
However after he was severely beaten, he is no longer the sub he once was.
The love that Drake has for Trevor can be seen in everything he does, it’s a beautiful thing. No matter how bad Trevor is mentally after this event, Drake doesn’t stop fighting to get His Trevor back. Both are dealing with guilt about the incident and Trevor seems to be sinking further in a black pit.
Yes, the sex scenes are hot between them, once Drake realizes he isn’t going to trigger a relapse in Trevor. However, for me they are just the icing on the cake in this story. Trevor finding himself and releasing he can’t let his tormentors win is the very best part of this story. It is a rough road getting there with a few bumps along the way, but he finally find himself in the end and it is wonderful to see the Trevor we all love come back.
Omg!!! Julianna and Mika are the best family anyone could have by the way, what they do for Drake and Trevor is simple heart melting!!!

Title: Malaise by Max Henry
Available: October 11th 2016
Genre: NA Standalone
TBR: http://bit.ly/2dE6B0j

Blurb

Final exams and end of year parties don’t seem so important at
your brother’s funeral.
Two short weeks, and Meg would have survived her senior year relatively unscathed. But when
her best and only friend—her brother—dies in a questionable road accident, being the loner in
her year doesn’t fit as well as it used to.
One act of kindness from the man her small town isolated amidst rumors and lies, and her hope
for a day where pain won’t overwhelm her doesn’t seem so far-fetched. Brett Carver is trouble
with a capital T, but he’s also the only person who can get Meg to let go and smile.
Some good things are never meant to last.
Arrested for a crime he didn’t commit, the man who finally found a way to bring light back to her
dark days is ripped away when she needs him most. Determined not to lose the only good thing
to have come out of her year from hell, Meg sets out to prove Brett isn’t guilty. But first, she
must accept the ugly truth …
… that the people who can prove his innocence are the same people who will do all it takes to
keep them apart.

Twinsie for the Day

Review by Becky

What do you get when you mix a manly man, a successful woman, and a stalker? You get Brutal Obsession.  What woman would object to having her past man provide you protection from a crazy stalker? Maybe one that said things she shouldn’t have ending her relationship with man staring in front of her that is supposed to be her protector? Why would that manly man provide that daily protection to the woman from his past to whom he walked away from? To him, it starts as a job and to her it offers the protecting she needs from the creepy stalker. Not sleeping for nights. Waking up only to find he had been in her apartment watching her sleep? AHHHh.

Keane and Ashlyn get thrown together because of th creeper stalker. The close proximity to each other draws them closer to the point they can no longer deny the animal magnetism that pulls them together. This does not go unnoticed by the stalker. His actions intensify and Ashlyn goes from a desire prized possession to a tainted whore. The stalker continues to stay step in step with Keane and lurking in the shadows until the perfect storm.
You won’t find pages of sex and mind blowing O’s . You will find suspense and resolutions of years of unresolved word sanctions become resolved with the couple rejoining. The book is slower to start. Do not stop reading. I couldn’t put it down after the first few chapters.nit absolutely is a must read!
