#TTEXCLUSIVE – A #HOTAF scene by #WOTR Attending author, J.M. Walker

Enjoy this Twinsie Talk Exclusive scene from J.M. Walker involving a fan favourite, Coby Porter.


My hand slid to the base of my dick. I squeezed, pulled, tugged. The muscle twitched and grew the longer and harder I stroked it.

Shivers raced down my spine. The tiny hairs on my body tingled and danced. Especially because a pair of dark eyes was staring back at me.

Brogan struggled against her restraints, sounds of whimpers muffled by the ball gag in her mouth. Although I couldn’t make out what she was saying, her eyes and body told all.

With her legs spread wide, her pussy dripped and clenched, matching the movements of my hand stroking my cock.

“Do you like what you see, little one?” I asked, my voice rough and husky.

She moaned, throwing her head back and started undulating her hips.

“Keep your eyes on me,” I growled, pinching the head of my dick.

Her gaze snapped back to mine. They were filled with so much damn heat, a drop of pre-cum dripped from the slit at the tip of my cock.

I hissed, bringing my hand up to my mouth and licked the salty liquid off of my thumb.

Brogan moaned, her eyes darkening even more.

I grinned. She had wanted to play. Do something new. Well I made sure to give her exactly that.

“I’m going to make you feel good without even touching you, beautiful girl,” I purred, my hand picking up speed with its strokes.

She panted, breathing hard around the ball in her mouth.

“You can feel me, can’t you?”

She nodded, her eyes locked onto the spot between my legs.

“Imagine me inside you,” I said through clenched teeth. “I’m fucking that sweet cunt. Can you feel my cock sliding in and out of you?”

She whimpered, shaking in the bounds wrapped around her wrists and ankles.

“Feel my mouth on your neck, Brogan. My teeth grazing along your skin, sending shivers along with it. You like not knowing when I’m going to bite you.”

Her hips moved, the sweet liquid between her milky thighs becoming more pronounced the longer time went on.

Fuck me, she was wet and I was so damn hard, it took everything in me not to head over to the bed and fuck the shit out of her. But I wouldn’t. Not yet. I wanted her so damn ready for me that one thrust of my cock had her crying out my name. I didn’t want her screams. I didn’t want her to beg. I wanted her to fucking sob for me.

Inching my other hand up my thigh, I cupped my balls and squeezed.

Her eyes widened, her breathing picking up.

I grinned. “You’re ready for me.”

She nodded.

“You wish I was over there, taking care of that beautiful ache between your legs.”

She nodded again, her nostrils flaring.

“I want you to come without me touching you.”

She frowned.

“It can happen, Brogan.” She was so damn responsive to me, I knew I could make her come without touching her. “Imagine me between your legs, kissing up your inner thigh. I leave tiny bites on your skin because I know you love it. It drives you fucking crazy.”

Brogan moaned, nodding.

My grin grew. My balls tightened, the release hovering. I breathed through it.

“Imagine my mouth just above your clit, my tongue peeking out to have a little taste. Teasing. Taunting. Soft licks, not quite hard enough to give you that orgasm your greedy cunt wants.”

Brogan’s hips started moving in tune with my words, each sentence bringing her closer and closer to that edge she craved.

“You beg for more. For me to go harder. To fuck your pussy with my tongue. You want my cock but you’re so damn aroused that you can’t help but want my tongue too. You’re greedy. Hungry. Enraged with need for me,” I slowed down my strokes, careful not to come just yet. “Just when you think you can’t take it anymore, I give you what you want. My tongue pierces your opening. Thrusting in and out of you to the point you’re fucking my face. Your pussy is so damn wet, it drips all over me. All I can smell is you.”

Her sounds of pleasure get louder, her hips moving harder and faster. She was teetering on the edge of no control.

“You’re imagining it, aren’t you?” I asked, sliding my hand up and down my thick cock.

She nodded, tears welling in her eyes at the need for the physical touch I wouldn’t let her have.

“Good girl,” I grit out. “Imagine my fingers spreading you wide as I suck your clit between my teeth. You’re so fucking turned on that you don’t last and come undone—”

Brogan screamed around the gag in her mouth.

My release shot onto my stomach, the unexpected orgasm taking my breath away. But it wasn’t enough.

Before Brogan could come down from her high, I was on her. I pulled the ball gag from between her lips and covered her mouth with mine at the same I thrust my cock inside her.

“Coby,” she sobbed, tears leaking from her eyes.

“That’s it, Brogan,” I growled. “Cry for me.”

Her sobs hardened, her body shaking through the release I let her have.

My dick twitched as it finished emptying into her.

Unlatching the cuffs from around her wrists, I slowed my hips and licked back into her mouth.

Her hands roamed down my back, her nails scratching into my skin before cupping my ass and pulled me deeper into her.

I shivered, releasing her mouth and stared down at the woman who was my undoing.

Her eyes were glazed over, her cheeks flushed. Sweat matted her hair to her forehead. She was so damn beautiful.

“That…” She sighed. “Was amazing.”

I smirked. “I told you I could make you come with just my words.”

#WOTR18Attending #BlogTour #Review #BDSM Seeking My Destiny (The Doms of Genesis 8) by Jenna Jacob

 

Synopsis

By day, I’m Sasha Evans, successful business owner and entrepreneur.
By night, I’m Destiny, Club Genesis’ masochistic bottom who craves pain and won’t kneel to just any Top.
The subs around me are all pairing up with the Doms of their dreams. I can’t even find someone to whip away my stress and grant me peace. It’s driving me mad!
But you know the old saying, Never tempt fate…
Falling into bed with my tall, ruggedly handsome business associate, Lawson Pratt, isn’t the smartest move I’ve ever made, but he certainly melted me with pleasure.
And when compelling Sadist Parker Cane offered me a contract, promising to make all my most agonizing fantasies come true, I was torn.
How’s a girl supposed to choose between tingling passion and sweet torment?
What if I can have both men work their magic on me?
It sounds great—in theory. And it’s feeling that way too—until a menacing madman from the past returns to steal not only my bliss…but my life.

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

We return to Club Genesis with Destiny, aka Sasha. Destiny has been with Club Genesis for years and we have seen her before in past stories. She knows what she is and what she isn’t. She is a masochist bottom, she is not a submissive, and as much as she would like to be in the “submissive cool clique” she is not. She has several times thought that she has found “the one” but the Doms always left her for another causing her to have a massive chip on her shoulder.
She has been given a contract for a Sadist Dom by the club’s owner to review and possible sign because he feels this Dom might just be what she needs.
Law is the VP of the advertising firm that Sasha has hired for her company. Sparks of attraction fly immediately between these two and since she is about to be sex free for two weeks when she signs Master Cane’s contract she gives in to Law and his one night of hot sex. However, she has a hard time sticking to just one night because of the strong pull between them.
Master Cane is all her little masochist heart desires, the dom to cause her the pain that she needs to be free. It doesn’t hurt that he is a hottie too. She is torn between her desire for pain and her desire for love.
OK, so mind blown!!! Sneaky, sneaky men. I’ve felt bad for Destiny for a while, she always seems to be on the cusp of love and then the Dom or Doms that she’s spreading time with find their “one” and she’s once again alone. It’s really no wonder that she has a chip on her shoulder and seems to be a bit of a b***h.
Law and Master Cane have a plan that has her questioning her belief that she isn’t a sub. Her finding herself is awesome and that she is so much more than she thought is great. That these two saw her and knew that she belonged to them before she even knew them makes my knees weak.
Jenna Jacob has once again done a wonderful job of showing the loving relationship of a Master/Masters and a submissive. She has also shown us way Club Genesis is a family that always stand by each other helping them when they need it.
I love this Club Genesis family and I hope to see more from them.

#WOTR18 – #Review – The Veiled Path to Destiny by Jolanthe Aleksander

The Veiled Path to Destiny

 

If she had never been at a crossroad before, Daria found herself at one now.

With one foot in the distant past, the other remains firmly entrenched in the present. Daria tries to come to terms with the memories of her previous life as they inundate her mind on an endless loop. Can she deal with the past and find a way to walk the path that is laid out for her future? Is she brave enough to face her destiny, or will she walk away?

Iauron has his Queen back…or does he? His is aware of Daria’s lingering doubts about him as she tries to retain her humanity in the face of remembering and accepting who she once was. Though the main threat to her life is temporarily incapacitated, he knows it cannot, and will not, remain that way forever.

Not fully Verisiel nor Daria, is she strong enough to meet the coming threat head on? Can she come into her powers and stand by his side? Can he let her go if she cannot accept the whole truth of her situation?

Big questions remain with few answers in sight, and time is running out.

 

Goodreads

 

An amazing heartfelt book. This story is about the illusion of time and how this luxury can be easily taken away. Daria has been whisked away to the fae realm. She has been told she is Veriseil, the fae queen and she struggles with this day in and day out. She has always been an independent woman and feels like she is drowning in this new world and life. She has no say in this and it wrecks her emotionally. Iauron, the fae king, is ecstatic that he has found his queen. But how does he show her that he loves Daria and not just Veriseil. There is a delicate push and pull between the characters that becomes intense at times. And low and behold…the bad guy is still out there and will stop at nothing to bring down the fae queen. And what happens when you mess with fate? Karma comes back tenfold to all involved. This is truly a wonderful story of true love….and new love. A beautiful follow up to Beyond the Veil of Whispered Dreams. I can’t to see what Jolanthe Aleksander comes up with next!

Goodreads

 

*I received this book in exchange for an honest review**

Numb is anything but Numb. I can’t even begin to start with how this book makes me feel. This author knows how to provoke some of the strongest emotions from you. I am not a crier but I absolutely recommend have tissues on standby…I may or may not have shed a few tears. This is INTENSE! That is all the warning I will give you.

The light in my darkness. The innocence to my madness.

Dale and Max were pregnant. Dale was a major d-bag to Max and Max lost their baby. While Max is coping with the loss of their child Dale is in a coma from a gunshot wound. Max is crumbling inside and fueled with rage and hate for Dale but has this undeniable pull to Dale. Her attraction to Dale is making her insane and mad at herself. Dale comes to and can’t remember the bad things with Max. But he can’t figure out how to show Max how sorry he is. He hates himself for causing her so much pain and the loss of their baby. All the while the “Organization” is still out there and the ring leader is still at large and wreaking havoc. Just wait for twist! OMG!!!

The sheer intensity of the love/hate relationship that Max and Dale have is overwhelming….and HAWT! The characters will attach to you and you will feel like you are part of the story. Many times I found myself yelling at the characters to just see the light! But we know how well that works, lol!

This is an absolute must read and I feel like Numb is one of the most intense of the series. Get ready for a wild ride!!!!

Choices last a moment. Consequences last a lifetime.

 

Goodreads

 

This is a great story full of love, hate, emotions, mobsters, with a strong female lead and the men that make her crazy, ….. What’s a girl to do when she is 18, pregnant, and involved with the mob? Tatum and Zach are going to hide who the real father of her baby is while Zach and The Family get some business sorted out. While Zach is off doing “mob family” things some unsettling truths are revealed. Nigel is back in the picture and Tatum is right in the middle of things as usual. Nothing is easy with her as far as the guys are concerned. I can’t really tell you what happens in the story so as not to ruin it for you, and I promise not to do that. This is a really incredible “coming-of-age” type of story. Tatum has to make some really big decisions and not only for her but for her baby. She is a force to be reckoned with and the way she keeps these guys in check is because she has become a strong young woman. And her guys….we can’t leave out Zach and Nigel….well what can I say? I love to dislike them 🙂 These two had me rooting for the other at different parts of the book. I have to tell you that there is a happily ever after at the end but it has a twist, a secret….and I can’t wait! This is a must read series! Get ready!!!

My time here on this world was embittered from the start. As a carrier, I had very little choice in the matter. The demon inside had been planted long before I even had a voice. From the very minute my first breath entered my body, she was coiled inside like a venomous snake. The Brotherhood wanted to control me, to keep their demon Gladius inside a host that they could groom from birth, but as soon as my mother caught on, she ripped me away from their evil clutches and kept me hidden from their reach. Under her tutelage, I had learned how to keep the monster at bay.

In the darkest night, my life had spiraled to a meaningless end as my time as a mortal subsided, for I had fallen under a spell woven by the vampire Demetrius. After draining me to the brink, he tossed me aside and left me to die with the first morning light. My propensity for survival he had not calculated.

Now, I was left with a single purpose, destroy the man who had obliterated the calm control I had kept over my life, over the monster that slithered beneath.

 

Goodreads

 

This has it all! Demons, monsters, evil incarnate, vampires, cults, witches….I could go on and on. Grace is not your normal everyday girl. She was born into a world where things go bump in the night. She was born to bear a demon in her body and soul. The only thing is she was raised to be able to keep the demon at bay. She works and tries to stay off the radar to keep away from The Brotherhood. Their only mission is to bring Gladius, the demon inside of Grace, to the surface. She is enamoured by Demetrius and lets her guard down. He turns her to a vampire and leaves her to die. She is found by the Night Order who want to enlist her help to keep demons and vampires at bay. She is brought into a new world and is no longer on her own. She is with other vampires and mortals who want to help her rid the demon inside. Of course there is a love story here. She has been on her own for so long that receiving help from anyone and having any luck in gaining her trust has been incredibly difficult. She has things she must do to keep her sanity an one is going after the man that did this to her and to rid the demon.

Pity was for the weak, and that was something I never considered myself. I had been a fighter most of my life. From the time I was a child, I had learned that the world would never make it easy for me. I had to push against the machine if I wanted to survive, and I had pushed so hard that I carried battle scars, some visible, but many more that were not.

From the moment I was born, life was a series of missteps in directions that twisted and curled into roads where the streetlamps never seemed to work. Darkness had followed me like a harbinger, circiling around until I had no other recourse but to embrace the path that was paved in front of me.

The story has great characters with so many different personalities. I absolutely love paranormal and this has a great twist on something that can seem so overdone. Grace’s struggle is real and you feel it to the core. It is a fast paced read with lots of action and some hot scenes. A must read!

One illicit lap dance becomes a flight for their lives.

A stripper with dreams of being a princess.
An intergalactic thief with a freighter of stolen cargo.

At the outskirts of space and away from the rigid control of Central Command, Granger entices Kaedi to break her strict no-lap dance policy. The repercussions force her to pack up and hitch a ride off-world in the same freighter he has hired. They discover a passion hotter than a super nova, but their plans are shattered by the untimely death of the ship’s captain and the duplicity of the co-pilot.

The two lovers crash headlong into the clutches of Granger’s best-friend-turned-torture-happy-enemy. When Granger’s heritage is revealed, Kaedi relinquishes the pleasure she finds in his arms, believing herself unworthy. Granger chases after her, determined to convince her she is more precious to him than stolen cargo.

 

Goodreads

 

Oh my stars and planets! A stripper and an intergalactic thief! What more could you ask for?! This book was exciting from beginning to end. It grabs your attention and holds you right to the very end and leaves you wanting….no, needing more. Right from jump the author puts you in a seedy type of strip club with all types of characters. Granger is the intergalactic thief and he has hired Dex, a shady pilot, to get him off of the rock they are on. He runs into Kaedi, our dominant exotic dancer, and he cannot get her out of his mind. Kaedi decides at the last minute she is going to hitch a ride with the guys but they run into all sorts of trouble with Central Command. They lose their pilot and lots of cargo. Only to have to deal with ships tailing them and some not so savory back stabbers. Kaedi and Granger grow instantly close. They cannot keep to themselves and it’s not about number one anymore….its about them together. Absolutely action packed with crazy ship chases, crashes, and very hot scenes between these two! Just wow! This is my first book by Ava Cuvay and will absolutely not be the last. This is one of my new favorites!!!

Ava Cuvay writes out of this world romance featuring sassy heroines, often-alien-but-always-sexy heroes, and an alcoholic beverage or two… Set in a galaxy far, far away. Think “Star Wars” meets “Firefly”, without Jar-Jar Binks, and with a lot more heat.

She resides in central Indiana with a hubby who makes her laugh and kiddos who are growing up way too quickly. She enjoys the world of wine and spirits, amusement park thrill rides, and laughing at her own foibles (yeah, she laughs a lot).

She believes life is too short to surround yourself with negative people, and Han Solo shot first. When not writing, Ava is thinking about writing. Or wine. And she’s always thinking about bacon.

#WOTR #Throwback – Girl Spoken For by Suzie T. Roos

What’s the point of making a New Year’s resolution when weeks later your life goes to the toilet anyway?

Sixteen-year-old Tatum Duncan’s life has turned upside down. Her best friend and grandmother has died, her mother is threatening to send her to an all-girls school for defending herself against a bully, and her abusive boyfriend nearly kills hers. 1989 isn’t turning out to be her year.

But just when it seems like all is lost, Tatum is saved by Zach Bertano, her longtime friend and secret crush. Her dormant attraction to him surfaces with his persistent attention. As her love for Zach grows, she comes to learn that he too has skeletons, and his issues could affect Tatum’s life in ways she never imagined.

Zach’s overlooked her baggage—can she overlook his?

 

Goodreads

 

I have Spoken For this story! This is a mixture between YA with some scenes that could move it into the NA category. I absolutely love that this is set in 1989. So refreshing! Tatum is a sophomore in high school and has just lost her best friend, her grandmother. She has always embraced being different and being her own person. She ends up with Kyle, the super hot jock. She then thinks that everything is great and how she is so lucky that he wants her. Tatum is extremely naive and keeps trying to give Kyle the benefit of the doubt when he gets extremely possessive and abusive. She is put in a situation that is life altering. This is where things get really emotionally unstable. She feels that she cannot go to anyone. Zach (the other super hot, dark and mysterious guy) knows something is going on but cannot resist being Tatum’s knight in shining armor….or mobster in black. So many conflicting emotions and crazy secrets start surfacing. Gauntlets are thrown. And Tatum always ends up in the middle. The characters in the story are well written, extremely relateable, and easy to fall in love with. In the end Tatum does get what she wants but it may be at an incredible price. I have to say that I picked this book up because of the cover. It’s absolutely gorgeous! The perk is that the story is even better. I could not put this down. I am looking forward to the rest of the series.

#WOTR #Throwback – Dangerous Waters (Sisters in Blood #1) by C.M. Michaels

 

**COME CHECK OUT C.M., HE’S COMING BACK!!!**

 

18369494

For Emily Waters, a nature-loving, small-town girl with an overprotective father, heading off to Boston University to study conservation biology is a dream come true—until a chance encounter catapults her into a mythical world she’d do anything to escape.

The latest victim in a rash of abductions near campus, Emily is brutally attacked before being rescued by a powerful new friend. She survives the ordeal, only to find herself held captive and presented with an impossible choice.

While preparing for the unimaginable life she must now embrace, clues soon emerge that Emily may not be entirely human, and her physical transformation awakens goddess-like powers that her new family cannot begin to explain.

Dealing with her human first love, the not-so-platonic relationship with her coven “sister,” and her new vampire sort-of-boyfriend further complicates matters, not to mention being secretly hunted by the psychopaths who attacked her. And as the only known offspring of a once all-powerful race, the climactic battle is just the beginning of her journey.

 

Goodreads

 


I received this book in exchange for an honest review.

This starts with a bang and grabs your attention! Great first book in this series. Emily is experiencing a lot of firsts lately. First time away from home, starts college, new roommates, people coming up missing, vampires, love, sisterhood………… Do you see a pattern?? Emily is attacked by a group that take control of her body. She is going crazy trying to figure out what is going on when she is saved by a new friend. She is then catapulted into a new supernatural world that is absolutely captivating. She is given two choices….life or death. Each choice comes with life altering changes. She faces a choice to become part of a new family or leave the one she was given behind. All the while she is secretly being hunted by the crazy people who attacked her.

“You can never assume anything is going to go as planned.”

This author does an incredible job with getting your attention and keeping it. Great job with the world building and character development. Each character that Emily is in contact with is special to her one way or another. I felt that some parts moved a little slow but this was mainly due to the amount of information you are being given to be sure nothing was left out. Awesome buildup to the story as well. This has the potential to be a really amazing series! Looking forward to reading the next!

Very promising beginning to a new series! This is a story where the Fae Queen is missing but is found in the human realm. She is no longer in fae form but reincarnated as a human. The Fae King finds her and is hell bent on making her remember her past life so she can be the queen she once was. The story starts with Daria, a young woman who is still trying to find herself, when she “runs into” Ian, a very hot client. A very fast and hot relationship starts and then the rollercoaster begins. You are thrown in the passion that Ian feels and the issues he has trying to get Daria to remember….while trying to make Daria believe that she loved him once. There is a traitor amongst the Fae and this traitor is the reason the queen is a human now. The king is faced with finding and dealing with this traitor and making his queen remember. It is quite the story!

“Day and night cling to each other like lovers torn apart. The few moments they are allowed to exist in the same time and space is brief and fleeting, and loathe though they are to leave each other, they paint the sky in beautiful colors as remembrance of their love for one another. And, during the day, the world is such a busy place that when dusk finally does arrive, it feels as if the world finally gives itself permission to take a deep breath and relax.”

“It was beautiful. She couldn’t deny it. It was also a cage. ‘A beautiful cage of snow and ice that is preventing me from returning home.’”

I absolutely recommend this book. The reason for giving it 3 3/4 stars is that some parts of this story are very rushed and at times I was left needing more. Nothing from the main story is missing but there are some side notes that could have been drawn out more and the story jumps around a bit. This is very promising and it is left with a cliffhanger. I am anxious to continue the Fae King and Queen’s story.

Jolanthe Aleksander

Jolanthe is a Marine Corps Brat and proud of it. The nomadic life of the military helped develop her love of reading and books became her friend.

A dancer, Jolanthe appeared in several productions in high school and later in the area theatres. She gave up her role of dancer/actress for her greatest role to date, that of Mother to a son who reminds her every day to find joy in the simplest of things and to use her imagination.

Missing the stage, and at the prompting of some on-line friends, Jolanthe gave rp-ing with an internet group a try. There she found and developed her skill as a writer.
When not working, writing, or keeping up with her son, Jolanthe can be found scouring antique shops, used bookstores, and of course, reading.
