Two broken rules waiting to happen.
I can’t lose this job over some guy.

Excerpt:

She hurried down the hall as if she’d just dodged three painful minutes in my company.

I shook it off. What was the difference? What was I trying to do here? Get my ass fired? Get her fired? There were dozens of women I could take to bed and absolutely no reason to focus on the one who could make my life and my job miserable.

But that body. The way she walked. The swing of her black hair across her back.

A female voice came from behind me. “There are rumors about that one.”

It was Marie Siska. Founding partner at Siska + Welton. She was in her early fifties and had her brown hair up in a tidy twist. She was a former litigator who had argued in front of the Ninth and had a way of knowing the intricacies of every case we handled.

“What kind of rumors?”

“The unsubstantiated kind.”

She invited me into my own office and closed the door behind us. I sat in front of my own desk, in one of the two guest chairs.

Marie’s lavender pants suit was custom made and she never sat down. She put her hands on the back of the second guest chair, pulling herself up a little as if she wanted to look taller.

“Barney and I have made a decision about you.”

I tried to look completely calm, but there was a pretty good chance my face froze over in the attempt.

“Let’s hear it.”

“Alexander Burke and Neuronet are your catch. If you go, he goes with you. That’s a plus in the senior partner column.”

I’d played MMPORGs with Burke way back in the day. All the zombie shooting had paid off. He was also a great guy and a badass gamer.

“But we’re a recent contract,” she continued. “And it’s short term. He can cut us loose any time for another outside contractor or to keep it all in-house. It’s fine. It’s part of the business, but a long-term retainer could be big for us. One third of future billing.”

“And my name would be one third of the ones on the letterhead.”

She did something she never did. She sat down in front of me. “I’ve wanted to be a lawyer ever since I saw a Senate debate on C-SPAN. We’re a small, classy operation with a stellar reputation. Classy and stellar were the goal, but small wasn’t. We should be litigating in front of the Supreme Court, and the reason we’re not is because we have to scratch and claw every quarter. We can’t take the chances we need to. I have ten or fifteen more years of active participation in this business before I can’t keep up, and it’s coming at me fast. We’ve tried to grow and it’s never stuck. This is our chance to turn this firm into what I dreamed about when I was ten. You are our chance.”

“No pressure.”

 

My Review:

Let me first say that if you have NEVER read a book by CD Reiss, then you are in for a nice treat. I was reading a tweet on Twitter I think it was, by another favorite author of mine who mentioned she just finished the Marriage Games series and was totally in love with the books. So I knew if SHE thought they were good, I would like them too. So let me see who this new author was and read her books. I did and loved the Marriages Games books and became a new fan. So when I had the chance to read and review this book I was tickled to have the honor.
So then let me paint the picture for you before reading the review…enjoying the book, reading, coming close to the end and BAM it’s over! I was shocked, stunned and looked at my dog and screamed “NO! No way it’s over. Not like that!!!”
And now the review:
How dare you stop the book there! No! Not there. I need more Roman and Raven!!!! More. Please!!!!

I can’t believe the book ended like that. All along I waited for the shoe to fall, for the mask to come off. I wasn’t sure I trusted Roman. I need more of this story. I’m so hooked it is pitifully sad. I love these two characters. So mysterious yet deliciously romantic. The bathroom scene was just too hot. The sparks between them will make your heart beat faster. I want more romance with Raven and Roman. Gah! Sexy as hell, hot as sin and lordy I need some ice!

The more I read C.D. Reiss the more I fall in love with her characters that are so unique and mysterious you just can’t help but love them. You are pulled into the story and invest yourself in the plot only to be pleasantly surprised by most endings in her stories. I should know this right? She still surprises me after each story. Haven’t met a character I didn’t like, even the darkest ones I’ve read from her. She brings the characters alive and makes you WANT to read more. Love her books!

About CD Reiss:

C.D. Reiss is a USA Today bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

EXCERPT:

I let go of her hand and thread my fingers through her hair. “Get on me.”

 

Then I grab her hips and move her so she’s straddling my lap. She gasps, a sexy noise that turns into a moan as she sinks down on my hard-on.

 

I hiss because it feels so fucking good.

 

“I wanted to come over the other night. After dinner. After the elevator,” she blurts out.

 

“Yeah?”

 

She nods. “Dinner ran late, but I couldn’t stop thinking about you.”

 

“What were you thinking?”

 

“That we didn’t get to kiss, and I wanted to so badly.”

 

“I can fix that problem right now.”

 

I take her face in my hands and bring her to me. Then the world spirals away as I kiss Mia Summers for the very first time.

 

It’s extraordinary. Her lips brush against mine, and she wastes no time. She slides closer, rubbing on my dick as she presses her chest to me. It’s as if she’s climbing me, and God, how I want this. How I want her like this.

 

I thread my fingers through her hair, pulling her closer, kissing her deeper. Tasting her. Her mouth is soft and sweet, and she makes these little sounds—whimpers, sighs, gasps—that make me nearly lose my mind.

 

I’m kissing Mia. I’ve been crazy for her for so damn long, and she’s on my lap, rubbing against my erection, kissing me as if her every last breath depends on it. Her tongue tangles with mine, and in a hot second, the kiss become furious. Greedy. Like two people who are mad about each other. I curl my hands around her head, wanting to get as close as I can, but she bats them away.

 

I break contact for a moment and raise a questioning eyebrow.

 

“My turn.” She lifts her hands, cups my cheeks, and then she strokes my jaw. Reverently. Hungrily. And I know what she’s doing. She’s feeling my beard. She’s touching my stubbled jaw with eager fingers, as if she’s wanted to get her hands on me for as long as I’ve wanted to touch her.

 

I don’t stop her. I drop my hands to her hips, and I guide her along, moving her so she grinds against my cock, and she’s gasping and murmuring as she kisses me.

 

We consume each other. We are ravenous. My brain turns to static, firing pleasure signal after pleasure signal to every nerve in my body. I want to live in this moment for the rest of the night. I don’t ever want to forget how good it feels not only to kiss her, but to be kissed by her.

 

She rocks harder, goes faster, murmurs louder, then she separates and looks at me with desperate eyes. “You have no idea.”

 

I shake my head. “I do. I have every idea.”

 

REVIEW:

What a cute story about Patrick and Mia and how they got together. A little baggage, a whole lot of mountains and streams between them but they found the right path to make it all work.

I loved how open and honest Patrick was. I guess his outdoorsy, nature boy character was perfect for him. He’s a very simple, tell it like it is, enjoys life kind of guy. Fits his life’s passion too. He knows what he wants and he goes after it in a carefully respectful way.

Mia is somewhat similar to Patrick’s character but you have to get to know her to realize that. She loves animals and that bonds her to Zeus, Patrick’s cat. The keeper of secrets. Mia is all alone on one side of the country while her family is on the other. She finds a way to make her life work, her heart happy and secure her future.

I love that this is written in the male POV, Patrick’s. Lauren writes the male voice so well and mixes it with male humor at times too. Patrick is a dream man who is simple and uncomplicated. He goes after what he wants. Wonderful character. Great read, beautiful story of love and passion and jackrabbits and kangaroos.

#Review #DirtyLittlePromise by @KendallRyan1 @InkslingerPR #Romance #Erotica #AmReading

 

 

Conflicted in the depth of her feelings for bad boy Gavin Kingsley, lonely librarian Emma Bell knows he’s all wrong for her—yet the heart wants what it wants.

But if she gives into his dark, erotic desires will she lose herself completely?

Passion, drama and suspense combine in the highly-anticipated conclusion to Emma Bell’s love affair with the alpha and enigmatic Kingsley brothers. Secrets will be exposed, sides will be chosen, and nothing will ever be the same.

This is book two in the series, following Dirty Little Secret.

 Amazon | Nook | ibooks | Kobo

 

My Review:

Sometimes love can change a person. Even the man with the darkest past.

This is book two in the series. You must read the first one as well as a short novella before, to truly understand the story line.

Emma, the sweet and innocent librarian has a past of her own. One that has molded who she is today but not as dark as Gavin’s. So they both have demons to slay before finding their castles.

We left off in book one hanging on a cliff with a shred of rope, no just kidding. It wasn’t THAT bad but I wanted to scream at Kendall for the way she ended the first book. So now we have our conclusions and the story just gets better. Not only are their dragons to slay there are huge dark forests to trudge through. These poor characters. Does love win out?

But in the end, Gavin finds his glass encrusted heart has warmed up to someone and the past hasn’t darkened his future. Thanks to Emma. The glass breaker. The sunshine. The princess in the castle. But the struggle to get there isn’t a pleasant one.

One major change in the story is Cooper. While Cooper did a good thing by forcing Emma on Gavin, he now struggles with the fall out and hopefully he lands on his feet without injury. His story is next I think.

Kendall writes steamy love stories with erotica mixed in so well. Each love scene is well designed and doesn’t fell like it is the same as last time. The passion and heat are new and sensual. You can almost feel like you are in the scene feeling the desire and lust between the two characters. Always a fan of Kendall’s erotic novels. She writes them so well. Desire. Passion. Heat. Love. She’s nails it all!

 

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan…

 

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide.

The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess.

How am I expected to resist when the sexual sparks zap between us and set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

#Review #MostValuablePlayboy by @LaurenBlakely3 @InkslingerPR #HOT #Romance #New #Read #5Stars

 

 

From #1 NYT Bestselling author Lauren Blakely, comes the swoony and oh-so-romantic title…MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY.

In MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY, the NFL starting quarterback Cooper Armstrong needs his best friend’s sister to pretend to be his girlfriend. Violet is willing, but neither one expects their boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage to turn into a full-contact sport so quickly. Find out if their fake play will become the real deal or if they can turn back the clock to when they were just friends in this sexy new standalone sports romance!

 

 

Now available on all retailers! Get your copy delivered now!

 

 

✮✮✮ MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is here! Grab your copy today! ✮✮✮

Hands down, my favorite thing in the world is to score. Touchdowns.

Don’t let the fact that I’m the leading pick in the Most Valuable Playboy charity auction fool you. These days, I’m only a player on the field. I’ve kept my pants zipped all season long — and it has been long — because nothing’s more important than leading my team to victory every week. Except maybe escaping from the team owner’s recently-widowed and handsy-as-hell sister who’s dead set on winning more than a date with me.

Enter Violet and a well-placed Hail Mary.

She’s my best friend’s sister with a smile as sweet as cherry pie and a mind that runs quicker than the 40-yard-dash. After Violet saves the day with the highest bid, I don’t even give her a two-minute warning before I kiss her in front of the whole crowd and then announce that she’s my girlfriend. Which would be fine except my agent tells me we have to keep up the act while he’s negotiating my contract.
Violet takes one for the team and pretends to be mine, but our boyfriend-girlfriend scrimmage quickly turns into a full contact sport, and I want it to go into overtime. The problem is — I’ve been riding the bench for years.

How can a guy like me, who finally has a chance to prove his worth on the field, convince the girl she’s most valuable to his heart?

MOST VALUABLE PLAYBOY is a brand new standalone sports romance written in the guy’s POV!

My Review:

Lauren Blakely does one of the best jobs I’ve read at writing a male voice in her stories. She places the right amount of cockiness, stupidity and simpleness all in one and nails the male mind, and I mean that in a good way. Men do not think like women. Period. When you read the female voice it is definitely different, never a question of which character is speaking. This is one reason I love Lauren Blakely’s books. She rocks the male voice!

I loved the characters in this story. Cooper Armstrong is young and focused on football. He’s the starting quarterback and he wants to succeed. More than anything. He’s a good guy, a real one. He doesn’t mess around, he’s not a player and he takes his job seriously. He’s part of a team that depends on him and he needs them just as much. Their superstitions before the games are cute and funny to read about. Such big football players doing such laughable things before each game to ensure they continue to win.

Violet Pierson is the girl next door. Literally. She has known Cooper since he moved in when she was two year old. Her brother, Trent, is still best friends with Cooper. Their history is sweet and you can only root for them as the story progresses.

Violet comes to Cooper’s rescue at a very important event and well, one thing turns into another and the lies keep building. So they play along. While they are filing the roles their lies created, they start to realize they like what they are doing. Getting to know each other a little more intimatly, they walk that fine line of going forward or hurting one’s feelings. The love scenes were super HOT and very creative. Cooper was keeping up with his superstitions but yet able to make Violet happy. (Wink)

The story plays out in a very romantic way related to football and while I waited for the shoe to drop, it didn’t. I loved how the story progressed and ended. I loved how accurate the football aspect was written giving more validity to the story and author. A true feel good story that left me smiling with a happy heart. Lauren never disappoints and I can predict I will love each and every one of her stories. She’s just THAT kind of author. The kind that no matter what the book is about, you know you will love it.

My Review:

So I’m reading along not even realizing I’m in the last chapter and as I swipe the page on my iPad I realize it’s over. I think Kendall Ryan could hear me scream from here. Jeepers how do you end the book like that?

I loved, loved, loved the character of Gavin. So mysterious and difficult to figure out. Dark and dangerous for sure but Emma doesn’t back down. He is written so well that you almost hate him before you get to know him. I loved how they met, stalker for sure but it worked. Rather cute beginning.

This story moves at a steady pace. Not too fast and not too slow. It skips over times you don’t need to know about but wraps the details up quickly so the story can continue. I love that Emma has a backbone and stands up for herself. I worry about Cooper getting hurt though. Such a nice guy but does he get the girl? I will have to wait and see.

I can’t wait to see how this story continues. I like the erotic books that Kendall writes and was very excited when I heard she had a new series coming out. This series excites me very much. I can’t wait for the next story.

#Review #TheSoulMate by @KendallRyan1 @InkslingerPR #Romance #BookRelease #Hot

 

 

 

From New York Times Bestseller Kendall Ryan comes a sexy new stand-alone novel in her Roommates series.

The smoking-hot one-night stand I was never supposed to see again?

Yeah, well, I might be pregnant, and he’s my OB-GYN.

Get ready to fall head over heels madly in love with the hottest OBGYN doctor you have ever met! This full-length standalone contains the most hilariously awkward lady-doctor visit, lots of playful banter and some good ol’ fashioned baby-makin’!

#Teaser1 graphic

 

My Review:

I don’t know if this scene could be any better…you’ve had a on night stand, a REALLY hot one that you will not forget for a long time, but now you’re late. And I don’t mean to an important meeting. Late late as in Aunt Flo didn’t show. So your friend sets you up with her doctor who is not only hot but really good. As he is doing the exam, he realizes who you are. GAH! Shrivel up into a hole in the floor. I don’t think Bren could get any redder. Great scene.

And great couple, too. This is a cool story and the way the couple met was not really uncommon but rather more hilarious as the reader sees the scene unfolding before Bren and Mason know what is about to happen. Two people meet, the night was really amazing, but that’s all it was meant to be was one night. Or so they thought. Their story definitely has it’s ups and downs and some walls to break through but I love the devotion and determination of the characters in the story.

Kendall Ryan has another sweet story that will pull at your heart because you know there has to be a struggle before they get to the happy place. This struggle is unique and creative and it actually made my eyes water. I love the lines spoken between the couple as they struggle to show and tell their emotions with walls built up high between them. The characters were REAL to me and relate-able. I love the MATE series.

My Review:

Holy mother of all books. This story was awesome! I didn’t like the cliffhanger at the end, not at all! But the way this story twisted and turned in ways I never saw coming kept me hungry for more and more story.

Lisa Renee Jones writes characters that you think you know and understand and just when you do, they do something that makes you question their reasons or their loyalty. I love it. Shane and Emily work hard in this book to fix the mess Derek left for them but as the story progresses that clean up is harder and harder to do considering the many layers in the mess.

The passion between Emily and Shane is beautiful as Shane struggles to learn to trust, love and count on someone else. Emily too. Their struggle is very real while Shane tries to be the son he knows he needs to be while keeping the good person he wants to be for Emily in the forefront.

I love the character of Jessica. She sound like a fun person. Her addition to the story is a fun side character that I’d love to see developed into a story of her own. And Cody? Yep, a perfect friend for Jessica..

I can’t waif or the next book to come out. Lisa Renee Jones has done this twice to me now. I need the next book ASAP. Please?

Well Built by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde

Date of Publication: July 25, 2017

Blurb

When it comes to women, sexy, well-built Kyle Coleman has always been a lover, not a fighter.  His one exception?  The sassy, tempting, smart-mouthed Ella Fisher.  Her family and his are sworn enemies, which make the two of them off-limits—despite the fact that she’s inspired some of his dirtiest, most erotic fantasies for years. But when the lines between animosity and lust become irrevocably blurred one fateful evening, their one night stand leads to a very unexpected consequence—that changes everything between them forever.

Available From

My Review:

Cute story by Carly Philips. Two characters share a past that shouldn’t have ended but when the past is now in the present its up to them to either pick up and continue or walk away and move on. Problem is the baggage they carry and the consequences of their past actions. But every move they make either leads them closer or tears them further apart.

This is a short, quick read that will leave you feeling good and rooting for the good guy. But you decide who you root for. You will love the characters and hope and pray they make the right decisions. This is a fun, romantic story with great characters.

#Review #WickedGrind by @JulieKenner @InkslingerPR #Romance #BookBoost #Hot

Super hot, sexy and sinful new book from J. Kenner available.

Wicked Grind

 

WickedGrind_Ecover_FINAL_RSometimes it feels so damn good to be bad

Photographer Wyatt Royce’s career is on the verge of exploding. All he needs is one perfect model to be the centerpiece of his sexy, controversial show. Find her, and Wyatt is sure to have a winner.

Then Kelsey Draper walks in. Stunning. Vibrant. And far too fragile for a project like this. Wyatt should know—after all, he remembers only too well why their relationship ended all those years ago.

Determined to break free from her good girl persona, Kelsey wants spice. Adventure. And she’s certain that Wyatt is just the man to help.

But when Wyatt agrees to give her the job only if he has complete control—on camera and in his bed—Kelsey can’t help but wonder if she’s in too deep. Because how can a good girl like her ever be enough for a man like Wyatt?

My Review

Oh the tangled webs we weave…but once the webs are clear so are the feelings and thoughts of one another.

Kelsey knew Wyatt twelve years ago. After they shared an amazing moment together, life fell apart. Both of their lives. Living under her father’s thumb wasn’t easy. Trying to be a kid, be normal, wasn’t easy. Living with the memory of what happened that night to Griffin eats at her every day. So Kelsey doesn’t know how to live. She only knows what her father told her she deserved. Well, that’s no life at all.

Then she goes to an audition and her life changes. But living in a box all her life makes it hard for her to see her dreams become reality. She can’t let herself try to climb out, it would be wrong even though she dreams of that all the time. In private she lets herself go, freely, imagining her dreams, her pretend future that she won’t let herself have. But the audition starts the process of breaking her walls. One by one. And as each wall falls down, courage comes and the excitement of her new life appeals to her. But the last wall is the hardest. Can she? Can she really go for her dreams and make them real? Does she do it alone? She has Griffin at her side but is he enough? Kelsey is strong but if only she saw that, maybe she jump at the chance to make her dreams come true. All of them.

Julie Kenner has another wonderful story filled with romance and intrigue, excitement and love. The characters connect and yet pull at each other. They invoke a heart tug as they struggle to find each other. And yet their passion is so hot and spicy it comes through the book. I love the connection to the Damien and Nikki Stark. Always fun to have a story with other characters you know.

Excerpt

She was driving him crazy.

The way she held his eyes while she moved, so bold and flirtatious, as if she was just daring him to pull her into his arms and kiss her senseless.

Daring him? No, strike that. She wasn’t just daring him, she was throwing down a goddamned gauntlet. But was she challenging him to claim her? Or was she goading him that he couldn’t have her?

Damned if he knew. Right then, Wyatt was certain of only one thing—his body was tight, his cock was hard, and he wanted to be somewhere other than here. Someplace without other people.

Someplace with a bed.

It was the dancing that did it. Because Kelsey Draper and her dancing had always been his downfall. After all, that was what had started everything all those years ago. He’d seen her dancing to a bouncy pop song, her interpretation elevating the music and lyrics. He’d seen passion and precision, sensuality and seduction. She’d enchanted him. Cast a spell over him.

He’d seen the magic in her, so much larger than the quiet, subdued girl he’d met before. The Kelsey he’d watched dancing had surprised him. She was vibrant. Alive. Unexpected.

He’d fallen hard, and then she’d broken his heart.

He wouldn’t make the same mistake again.

He might want her—hell, he did want her. For his bed. For his show.

But he damn sure wasn’t going to trust her. He’d already learned that lesson, and he really didn’t need a refresher course.

As he watched, she dropped to the floor, then used one hand to rip open her shirt before letting it fall down her arms. She writhed on stage, her seductive movements making him ache inside, all the more when he imagined taking it further. Her wrists bound not with a tattered blouse, but with silk ropes. And not just her wrists, but her legs as well. Red ropes, the only color in an otherwise black and white image. Her body twisting, and the audience unsure if she was fighting the bonds or reveling in her own rising passion.

She was exactly what he needed for the show. The complete package. Hell, he’d known that from the moment she’d walked into his studio.

So why was he hesitating?

Because he wanted her?

Or was it because he wanted to punish her?

Or maybe it was even more insidious than that. Maybe it came down to how much was riding on this show. It was his shot, after all. The apex of all his work and sacrifice. The chance to escape from under the black cloud his father had left hanging over him.

WG teaser 1The chance to prove himself to his family.

To live up to the goddamn Segel name.

But that would only happen if the show was a success.

So maybe that was why he was hesitating. Because the moment he committed was the moment the truth crept toward him on little cat paws, and it would either curl up and purr, or rip his heart out.

On stage, Kelsey rose, then did some sort of pirouette, twirling as she pulled off one of those transparent, colored scarves that served as a barely-there skirt. Wyatt imagined his hands on her waist, the brush of her skin against his palms as she spun. He could imagine her heat. The way she shivered under his touch.

So help him, he wanted that. Wanted to hear her sighs. Those little moans he remembered.

Another scarf went flying, and he straightened so that he was no longer leaning against the pillar. Instead, he shifted his weight from foot to foot as he tried to tamp down the rising lust. The violent need. To not only have her, but to have her in his show.

He wanted her, yes. But she was an indulgence he couldn’t justify. An indulgence and a risk, because he knew damn well that she’d run if things got too intense.

And damn but his show was intense. That was the point, after all.

He couldn’t take a chance on her, no matter how much he might want to. Couldn’t even bring her in only long enough to test her out. Not on such a tight schedule. Not when there was no way to ensure that she wouldn’t bolt.

Kelsey was a risk he simply couldn’t take. He had to get it right. There was too much at stake for him to be wrong about her.

#WG6.5GFil,m

The final scarf fluttered to the ground, and Wyatt’s pulse pounded in his throat as he moved closer, his mouth going dry as she reached for her bra, pulled it over her head, then tossed it aside.

The music faded out, and the dim, colored stage lights made the flesh-colored G-string blend into her pale skin, enhancing the illusion that she now stood before the entire room not just topless, but one hundred percent, birthday-suit naked.

She took a bow as the lights came up, and the men in the audience actually stood to applaud her. She’d blown away the competition, and even though Wyatt wanted to rush the stage and wrap his jacket around her, he couldn’t deny the swell of pride he felt for her victory.
