She hates him and his big head.
He likes her and her big t*ts.

She hates him because she somehow ends up naked every time she sees him.
He likes her because she somehow ends up naked every time he sees her.

She hates him because the big oaf knocked her up with his kid.
He likes her because she’s carrying his child.

She hates the way he gets inside her head.
He likes the way she lets him see glimpses of her heart.

Andie: I hate you.
Roman: I know…but I’m going to change that.

***This is book two in the series. It is best if you read book one first to fully understand this couple’s story.***

3.5 Stars

I enjoyed this book more than the first only because it was somewhat more realistic and I liked Andie and Roman more than Dani and Ram. However, there were parts that again, seemed a tad bit out there and that’s what held me back from loving it.

Let me warn everyone first that some people will find Andie’s antics a bit ridiculous and her aggression towards Roman a tad off balance. Yes, I agree that as many times as she hits and throws things at Roman, it’s out of control and shouldn’t be downplayed. However, I know a lot of this had to do with the authors creativity and not that they think abuse like that is ok. With that being said, it is her crazy ass outbursts and her anger that had me not loving this book because there is open scene that I felt was really pushing it and would had me walking out of that relationship (she throws glass coasters at Roman and then attempts to smashes a glass lamp all before trying to attack another woman. Yea, totally not cool and that shit would’ve been reported immediately to police). Sometimes the creativity gets a little too outside the box and it smears the character.

On to the story – I really enjoyed this plot line so much more than the first book. Andie and Roman stared off things in the last book as fuck buddies or really just hate fuck buddies. LOL There was a lot of hostility (most Andie) between them. It was Roman’s calmness that evened them out. He didn’t take her crap and that’s what fueled this strange relationship. But what I loved most was how Roman was able to play to Andie’s vulnerable side as her emotions started to run rampant. He found ways to calm her and Andie herself slowly realized that the unnecessary stress and chaos she caused was not good for the baby. Andie grows the most in this book – she learns to chill and not be so vulgar and rude.

I enjoyed getting to see the softer side of Andie. We got to learn more about her step brother and father. The authors played out this part of the story very nicely and it complimented the main the plot. Everything flowed nicely and I really enjoyed the ending. And Webster and Hollyfield have left us with itching to read about 2 new characters – Reagan and Linc. I can’t wait for the book to come out. I may enjoy that even more!

 

 

It’s the start of nothing good.
I fired off a storm of raunchy text messages…to the wrong number.
And he replied.
Him: Show me a picture.
Him: Tell me your name.
Why does the lure of anonymity have me craving to indulge a stranger?

It’s the start of everything right.
I received a slew of text messages…when everything in my life was wrong.
And she made me laugh again.
Her: You’re probably a creeper.
Her: Possibly a stalker.
Why do I have the overwhelming need to find this stranger who saved me and make her mine?

Him: Take a chance with me.
Her: This is crazy.
Him: I need to see you.
Her: What are we doing?
Him: We’re about to find out.

Her: PHOTO ATTACHED
Him: PHOTO ATTACHED

Tortured by Nicole Williams…Blog Tour & Review

 

 

 

 

goodreads-badge.png

 

AP new - synopsis.jpg

 

When he left for a twelve-month deployment, she knew it would feel like forever before they saw each other again. She didn’t realize how right she was.

When Lance Corporal Brecken Connolly gets taken as a POW, Camryn hopes for the best but steels herself for the worst. In the end, steel was what she needed to survive when he didn’t. She moves on the only way she knows how—gilding herself in more steel.

Years go by.

She builds a new life.

She leaves the old one behind.

Until one day, she sees the face of a ghost on the news. Brecken seems to have risen from the dead, but she knows she can’t perform the same miracle for herself. While Brecken was held in a torture camp for the past five years, she’s been trapped in her own kind of prison. One she can’t be freed from.  

The man she mourned comes back to join the living, but the girl he wanted to spend his life with isn’t the same woman he comes back for. Brecken isn’t the same person either. The past five years have changed them both. While he’s determined to put the pieces back together, she’s resolved to let hers rot where they shattered.

 

Broken or not, Brecken wants her back. He’ll do anything to achieve that. Even if it means going against the warden of Camryn’s personal prison—her husband.
“It’s been six years. Everything’s changed. I have. You have.” My eyes lifted. “Why? Why are you trying to win me back?”
He exhaled, his lips parting. “I’m going to win you back.”
When his hand slid around the bend of my waist, winding behind my back, I jerked. His touch was different tonight, hungry, determined. My head clouded, blocking out reason or letting it surface to the top, one or the other.
“I married him,” I whispered even as my hand found his chest.
“But you belong to me.”
My eyes closed as he bowed me against him. I wasn’t sure how two bodies that had been as broken as ours could be so strong when joined. “How do you know?”
“I can see it in your eyes. Every time you look at me.” His other hand lifted to my chin, tipping it until our eyes connected. His brow rose slowly, like I was proving his point right that very moment.
“That’s a confident statement.” My voice shook, but my body felt steady. Unwavering.
“It’s the truth.”
My chest was moving so hard, it brushed his with every breath. What was I doing? Where had I found myself? The man holding me had died only to be resurrected six years later. It was too late, but it wasn’t over.
No matter what, Brecken Connolly and I would never be over.
“Twenty-six days,” I said slowly. “That’s all I have to give you. That’s all I have to give. Four weeks. Once he’s back, you know the way it has to be.”
His face broke, but his hold didn’t budge. “It’s not enough.”
My fingers curled into his shirt, looking for some way to hold on to him. “I know.”
His other arm suddenly looped around me and he lifted me off the ground, his grip going around my backside when my legs tied around him. “But a fucking eternity wouldn’t be enough either, so it’ll just have to do.”
He carried me through the sand and up the stairs of the cabin, then he propped me against the wall so he could open the screen door. Something slipped out of my mouth when he flexed his hips into mine.
“Told you it wasn’t a morning issue,” he whispered in my ear, but I could hear the smile in his voice. “Just a Camryn one.”
He made the same motion with his hips, applying a little more friction this time, causing a louder sound to echo from my lungs.
Opening the screen door as silently as he could, he carried me inside.
“You can set me down, you know?” I whispered.
“I know,” he said, his arms tying tighter. Once all of the lights were off, the cabin closed up for the night, he padded down the hall.
“You know where you’re going?”
His head nodded beside mine. “I’ve always known.”
My hands went behind his neck. His skin was warm and familiar. “And where’s that?”
He exhaled against my skin as he closed the bedroom door. “Toward you.”
He set me down once he’d untied my legs from around his waist, and he took a few steps back. He stared at me for a moment then reached for the lamp on the dresser.
“What are you doing?” I asked.
“Turning on the lights.”
I watched him flip on another. “Why?”
“Because I want to see you. Because I want to watch your face as I move inside you. Because I want to see your skin flush when I make you come.” He flipped on one more light, then all of his attention turned to me. “Because I want to see everything.”
My heart took off as I imagined being intimate with him with every light in the room on. My body wasn’t the same one he’d left. It had carried a burden; it bore the scars of a shattered soul and a broken body. “I don’t want you to see me. Not like that. In the dark, you can imagine the way I was before.”
When I reached for the closest lamp to switch it off, he stopped me. “I don’t want to imagine.” His hand curled around mine, guiding it away from the lamp. “I want the real thing. I want the real you.”
“You’ve seen my body. You know what I look like beneath all of this.” I motioned at the fresh clothes hanging off of me, covering me from my wrists to my ankles to my neck.
“When I look at you, I see beauty and strength, and the one person in the world who gives me a reason to live and a reason to die.” He drew me to him, his face creased in lines of concentration. “That’s what I see when I look at you.”

 

Tortured is the perfect title for this book in so many different ways. This book tortured and mended my heart all-in-one.

Nicole is one of those authors that I will always read, no matter the genre. Her writing technique always has me lost in her words and feeling every once of her characters.

“My eyes welled when I realized that he’d given me back my wings. One man had clipped them – this one had fixed them.” 

My heart ached for Brecken and Camryn. And for some many reasons. The heartache of losing someone not just to death, but to a life you want to save them from. The torture of believing you are doing the write thing to keep others safe.

I will warn you that this book may be harder for some to read due to the content. Nicole does an amazing job of not sugar coating anything and making this story all the more real and raw. It’s a beautifully, haunting story that you will love.

“I never asked to be the world’s hero. All I ever wanted was to be yours.” 

I love Brecken and his perseverance when it comes to Camryn. No matter what, he will live up to his promises. He won’t let anyone or anything stop him from loving Camryn, even though she is married. Camryn made her decision a long time ago, thinking it was the right one. And now that Brecken is home, she knows she still can’t have him.

 “I don’t care that you married him or that you have his last name. You’re mine. To love. To honor. And to fucking protect.” 

Nicole wrote an amazing story with really strong characters. Yes, the story line is easy to follow and there really isn’t anything that is unexpected to happen, but it’s the tone and the characters that will have you loving this story.

Another fantastic book from Nicole!!

Ripple Effect Episode Four by Keri Lake…..Blog Tour & Review

 

 

 

From the author of Ricochet and Backfire comes a dark erotic suspense serial …

Episode Four: With every cause, there’s an effect, and Ripley will do everything in his power to keep Dylan safe. To hell with the consequences.

Series Synopsis:

Ripley

They call me RIP.
I’m a killer. A murderer. A psychopath.
In the eyes of the righteous, I’m a monster, born of sin and depravity.
I want to protect her, but I’m not a good man.
I want to love her, but I no longer feel.
She gets under my skin, though, and has awakened something inside of me.
Something I’d kill for.
I’m not her savior—not even close. In fact, I’m worse than the hell she’s already suffered.
I’m her vengeance. Tit for tat, as they say.
And if she’s not careful, I’ll be her ruin.

Dylan

For months, I’ve watched him.
I’ve fantasized him as my savior, my lover. My ticket out of the hell I’ve lived in for the last six years.
I never dreamed he’d be my nightmare.
Had I known what he really is, I’d have never gotten in the car that night, but life is full of cause and effect.
And sometimes the choice on offer isn’t a choice at all.
It’s the result of something already in motion, and we’re merely left to survive the ripple effect.

*This is an erotic suspense/erotic romance not recommended for readers under the age of 18 due to graphic violence and sex

 

Dylan

Pressure and a nip of my skin recoils my muscles.  A pinprick at my left arm tells me Randy’s shoved a needle into my veins, and the warmth that floods every muscle in my body, like a fireplace at Christmastime, has me clinging to my reality.  It’s nauseating and soothing, curling my toes at the same time I want to throw up.  Please.  I don’t want to pass out. Not while Rook’s holding those pliers.  My stomach twists and gurgles.
“Just a little cocktail I put together for you, my sweet girl.”  Randy’s voice fades in and out and he strokes my hair, only adding to the wave of comfort sweeping over me.  “It took twelve stitches to close that stab to my ribs.  So I’m going to give you twelve stitches … somewhere.”
“No.”  My voice is weak and slipping with every second.
“Tell me you love me, Dylan.”  His lips are at my ear, the crackle of his whisper growing distant.  “I can make this all go away.  Tell me you want me.  Only me.”
I roll my head against the dirty mattress they’d lain me on and moan a protest that doesn’t matter.  No one will hear me.
The moment footfalls diminish across the room, Randy’s at my ear again.  “I’ll kill him.”  He speaks so softly I can hardly hear him, even as close as he is.  “For you.  Just tell me you want me.”
Nails scrape my inner walls, and when the heel of a hand presses against my pubic bone, fingers curve up into me—a sensation that begins to fade as the drugs take hold.
“I’ll wait.  You’re gonna love this shit, Dylan.”  Randy’s voice is distant, floating all around me. “I fucking need to get inside you, baby girl.  Need it so bad.  I should’ve done this a long time ago.  You ran, though.  From me.”  A crack to my face hardly registers as the drugs start to kick in, and he strikes me again.  Same place, but I’m numb, drifting from my body into a disconnected space, away from all of this.  The same place I used to hide when my mother fucked her Johns in front of me, or when Randy took pictures in that dirty laundry room.  “You’ll never run from me again.”
A scream hammers against my skull—it’s a loud, screechy, painful sound as if someone has reached down into the depths and pulled out a soul.  Is it me?  Am I screaming for my life and I’m just so gone, I don’t recognize my own pain?  Has he already begun to use those pliers on me?
I don’t notice the pressure against my thighs as it was before when Randy’s voice breezed my ear.  
The blackness lifts, and I’m staring into dark, angry eyes—one blue, one hazel.
If I happened to be sober, the sight of him would have me crawling out of my skin as enraged as he looks with his lip peeled back in a snarl.  My head feels as if it moves in slow motion, as I look around for Rook and Randy.  They’re nowhere in sight.  Am I dreaming?  Is this all a nightmare?  Will I wake to Rip’s pissed off face staring back at me?  There’s an element of fear and relief in that thought.  
I didn’t take any pills, did I?  No, I could swear I didn’t take any pills.
The blackness tugs at me, begging me to swim in its void.  Yes.  Take me.  
Ripley stands up from me, shoving a cigarette into his mouth, and plucks his fingers along his blade.  
Will he kill me?  Will all three of them torture me?
I don’t even care.  Somewhere in the darkness, there’s safety.  Quiet.  So I let it steal me away.

 

 

Ripple Effect is mind fuckery at it’s finest. This is the last episode in this series and I really didn’t want any of it to end. So I guess that makes me a little effed up in the head.

“Sometimes our minds are worse than the hell that surrounds us.” 

This whole series was laid out beautifully. We get tiny glimpses in each episode that allow us insight into who Ripley and Dylan are. The whole series sent shivers through me – it’s mind numbing and exhilarating at the same time. Keri tells a twisted tale of violence, destruction, deceit that is thrilling, addictive and will leave you beautifully haunted by these characters.

“We’re volatile and chaotic together, ripples in the water that explode into riptides, pulling us deeper. The more she takes, the more I want to give.” 

This last episode pulls everything together and you truly understand the inner workings of these two. Ripley knows how easily love for anyone can be used against you and yet he can’t stop himself from protecting Dylan. Dylan understands what Rip is doing but she refuses to be pushed aside.

“Sometimes our weaknesses are what make us stronger than we realize.”

“Because I’d kill a motherfucker for ever hurting you, and that includes myself.”

“He may not be a hero in the traditional sense, but in my world, where violence is life and suffering is survival, Ripley is a brutal contender against the iniquity I’ve come to know. And that makes him a good man, in my eyes.” 

Keri has upped her game with this serial book. She really knows how to write the very dark and erotic stories that will leave your spine tingling. She knows how to push the boundaries and holds nothing back when it comes to the darker and grittier side of things. I am hoping to see more from a few of the secondary characters – Jorgen, Natalie – HINT HINT!!!!

Six Toy by James Crow…Review Tour

Title: Six Toy 
Author: James Crow 
Genre: Erotic Romance 

 

 
 
 
 

 

 
 
 
Emma,
Moving in with Jonathon Gold was a whole new wonderful life. It felt like I’d been plucked from another dimension and dropped into a carnal nirvana, with endless rabbit holes of exploration just waiting for me to tumble down them. And gladly I tumbled – until I wanted more.
I wanted to be Head Girl, to service clients, especially when The Judge made enquiries for a day with a plaything. I thought I was strong enough. I thought I was on top of this newfound promiscuous game, but I was wrong.
Jonathon Gold had demons in his closet. Thing is, Jonathon’s closet turned out to be real, and if I really wanted to nail my man, really wanted to learn the art of the submissive and face The Judge and his perverted kinks, I’d have to live it first, in that sordid little room, and become Jonathon’s toy for a day without a squeak of complaint.
Then I’d face The Judge.
Giving is receiving, so Jonathon tells me.
I’m pretty sure I can do that.
~~~ 
Jonathon,
Emma Jane brings bubbly brightness to my world. She’s sexy, gorgeous, naïve and vulnerable, and her enthusiasm for her new life lifts me, really lifts me. I love her, my dirty girl, and I know in my heart it’s a love that will last forever, but right now she’s a rookie, an over-confident rookie.
The best way for rookies to learn is to be thrown in at the deep end, is it not? And it couldn’t get any deeper than The Judge – a man-mountain of depravity.
The last time he visited, he took charge of the closet for a day of filthy debauchery, but the door to that seedy little hole has been locked for almost two years.
Demons await me in that room, and demons either need to be purged or danced with, don’t they?
If Emma wants more, she has to earn it. And earn it she will when I unlock that door.
~~~ 
Emma Jane must learn the art of the true submissive before she can become Head Girl, but Jonathon has demons to struggle with as he takes her down the steamy path to subservient bliss.
 
 
 
 
 
 
I feel like I need to give this book 6 loves… but we only go up to 5… Sorry James!
This book. Wow. So fucking hot. So amazing. I never thought something so filthy could be written so exquisitely. James Crow gave me everything that I asked for and more. I wanted more back story on Jonathon. I wanted more kink, more filth, more debauchery (and less Mayo) and he more than delivered.
In the sequel to James’ debut novel (Six), Six Toy brings us back into the lives of Jonathon and Emma Jane. Emma has a dream to be the head girl at Jonathan’s pleasure palace. She not only wants to service customers, but she wants to star in her very own scene.
Jonathon’s first love, Heather, has been gone for 2 years. When Emma comes to him with this idea, it reminds him of the worry that swirled around his relationship with Heather when they first started servicing clients together. Jonathon isn’t keen on the idea of Emma fucking other men. And Emma isn’t certain she can stand by while Jonathon fucks other women.
With a little help from Aunt Fee, and some great advice Jonathon agrees to create a scene for Emma.
“But always remember, a cock is just a cock, unless it belongs to the man you love.”
Ahhh, Aunt Fee. So full of wisdom, that one…
It’s no surprise that this is one of my two favorite scenes in this story. Its hot in every sense of the word. Jonathon pushes Emma’s boundaries to levels that she never dreamed of. I don’t want to give any specific details away, but Emma Jane went through a gauntlet of tasks designed to make her feel every emotion from pleasure, to fear, to humiliation. Each one making her equally crazy and turned on and empowered at the same time.
After the completion of her scene, Jonathon starts thinking more about what it would be like to watch Emma pleasure other men. This results in him taking a long overdue trip down to “The Closet”. What he doesn’t realize is, Emma follows him there and witnesses something very unexpected (Vague, I know. Again, I don’t want to give anything away!) After this trip to the closet” Jonathan decides that it’s time to train Emma in the act of total submission. This means servicing any client that comes to visit, with no complaints, no matter what. Because they are everyday people, not porn stars. Emma eagerly accepts and, at times she feels like she bit off more than she could chew, but by the end of her training, she proved to be a star pupil.
However, she can’t get her mind off of the closet and what she witnessed in the closet. After constant begging, Jonathon finally agrees to put Emma through all of the trials and tribulations that one must go through in order to appreciate the full closet experience. I am not going into ANY detail regarding the closet, but just know this was one of the hottest scenes that I’ve ever read.
Will Emma Jane make it through the experience? Will it make her relationship with Jonathon stronger, or will it be their ruin?
READ. THIS. BOOK!

THE FINAL BOOK IN THE TRILOGY!

Safe in the ivory tower…

Gabriel Miller swears he’ll keep me safe. Enemies lurk outside, waiting to strike. An army held back by these walls.

Except some animal instinct warns me the danger is much closer. It’s already here. Is Gabriel my protector or my enemy? Is this house a castle or a cage?

There’s nowhere for me to go, no one left for me to trust.

No escape from a past determined to capture its prize.

17390400_1280947771960086_5700844342233274530_o

Another 5 loves for Skye Warren! I’m so sad to say goodbye to Avery and Gabriel! I loved their story so much! This was a very quick read for me. Time flew, so much so that I completely forgot to highlight more of my favorite quotes. I did manage to get 2 sizzling hot ones though!
The Castle picked up a few weeks or so after The Knight ended. Avery is “locked away” in Gabriel’s home while Johnathan Scott is still on the loose. Avery has signed up for a couple of online classes and, in between studying, Avery and Gabriel continue battling each other at chess.
SIDENOTE: Let me tell you, I’ve played chess before. I’ve never really been into it, but I guess I was doing it wrong? Haha! The next time I play, I will need to make sure to do it like Avery and Gabriel!
“You don’t know what you’re asking for.” I move one final piece before following him. “Then show me.” He whirls. “God, do you think I don’t want to? That I don’t want to hurt you? That I don’t want to see your pretty skin marred with my fingerprints? Smeared with blood?” There’s something strangely seductive about his threats. It’s the same feeling I get when he checkmates me—feeling cornered, feeling grateful. My wings want to beat against a cage. “I could make you bleed,” I whisper. He cocks his head, his eyes molten lava. “Could you?” 
and
<b><i>
“Stop it. You want to push me away? Fine. Consider me pushed. You don’t have to hurt my feelings.” “Yes, that would be contrary to my purposes. I prefer to keep you satisfied so that you’ll smile when I fuck your tight little pussy, so that you’ll hide your face when it hurts too much, bite your lip to keep from crying out. So you’ll let me hurt you.”
 Holy. Shit.
Anyway… back to the review…
It doesn’t take long before they find out that there is a bounty on Avery’s head. One night, while making an unexpected trip to The Den, they run into Damon Scott and an injured girl. Avery decides that she would like to care for the girl and they bring her back to Gabriel’s estate.
Its around this time that Avery starts feeling… different. I don’t want to say more because of spoilers. Gabriel knows something is up with her, but she tells him she’s fine and he doesn’t push the issue.
After getting a lead on Johnathan Scott, who is like a ghost, Gabriel leaves suddenly to look for him. Three weeks go by and Avery is going crazy with worry. She decides that she needs to go looking for Gabriel. The thought that she could be caught and killed doesn’t make her hesitate. Gabriel could be in danger and that’s the most important thing to her.
THIS ENDING… O.M.G. I never saw it coming. Let me just say that Johnathan Scott is one FUCKED UP dude.
This series was so so so good! Congratulations Skye on another amazing series! I am so looking forward to Damon’s book!

Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college to take care of the only family I have left.

There’s one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.

My virginity.

A forbidden auction…

Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the only kindness in a brutal underworld.

Except he’s playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.

SBPR-RoyallyBad-BT

Royally Bad, a sexy new standalone from Nora Flite is available!!!

Flite-RoyallyBad-23579-CV-FT-V8

Royally Bad
by Nora Flite

Publication Date: April 1st, 2017
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publisher: Montlake

Getting close to an arrogant bad boy like him is dangerous. Too bad it’s her only choice. 

Kain Badd looks great on paper: rich, handsome, and he’s even a prince. But after spending a few minutes together, Sammy sees the real him—arrogant, possessive, and too hot for his own good. If she hadn’t agreed to help plan his sister’s wedding, she could have avoided him. Instead, she’s waking up in his bed after an unforgettable night she definitely wants to forget. But he won’t let her.

When Sammy thinks her life can’t get any crazier, the wedding is raided by the police, and she spends her first-ever night in jail. The irresistible Kain isn’t just bad in name—his family is connected to a dangerous underworld. Now she’s mixed up in a power struggle between his family’s empire and their rivals. She has no choice but to put herself back in this filthy prince’s extremely capable hands.

Sammy must trust Kain to keep her safe. She’s just not sure she can trust herself to resist temptation.

Excerpt:

“Did you move in or something?”

He’d snuck up on me, his arms folded over his gray jacket. He looked oddly clean and crisp in such fancy clothes. In one hand, he held two champagne flutes.

We were alone in the kitchen. That fact sat heavy in my belly.

Gripping the counter behind me, I said, “Your sister needed the help.”

“Careful.” He stepped closer, his eyes never straying from my face. “Once you start with her, she’ll never stop asking you to do things.”

Helplessly, I measured the distance between us. I was trapped in my corner; he’d corralled me so easily. “I like helping people.”

“I have something you could help with. Something pretty big.”

Flushing, I bounced my attention down to his zipper. I didn’t mean to, it was as if his gritty voice had taken hold of my neck and guided me down.

And his smile said he’d seen me do it.

I cleared my throat. “You’re a big boy, you can help yourself.”

“Oh, I do. And I will.” His foot came down, the shiny shoe transfixing me the closer he got. “I’ll jerk this cock off to thoughts of you, sweetheart. Especially to the memory of how you felt in my arms earlier.”

My muscles were useless. All I could do was squeeze the counter harder. “Fine. Go do that.”

“Tch.” His chuckle caressed between my legs. “You can pretend all you want, but I know I got to you, too. That’s why you’ve been avoiding me all day.”

“I was busy with your sister,” I argued.

“And after that?”

“I was planning to go home.”

“But you didn’t.”

His lips were only a foot away. How had he gotten into my personal space so smoothly? When I spoke, it was a whisper. “I was just about to, you interrupted me.”

“Let’s get some honesty going.” His arm came forward. I flinched, expecting him to touch me—he put one of the glasses next to me on the counter. “You want me. I can tell how badly you want me. And you also want nothing to do with me.”

“That last part is definitely true.”

Grinning, he bent against the counter. “You’re not looking for some long-term baby-making plans with me, right?” Fuck, I was so red. “You want to never see me again? Fine.” His low tone flooded my ears, making me dizzy. “Get me out of your system. Fuck me, sweet thing. Fuck me and forget me.”

Cupping my chin, he leaned his weight into me. I bent, I crumbled, and I let my facade crack. Kain was too tempting. I wanted to know how his smirk would feel on me, how his quick tongue would taste.

He was right. I wanted him.

Kain stared me down. I kept wondering when he was going to kiss me.

Stepping back, he nudged the champagne into my hand. On impulse, I took it. “Drink,” he explained, “Then come find me in the garden.” There was nothing else to be said, apparently, because he walked out of sight.

Sliding down to the floor, I hugged the glass. He’d left me a total mess and he’d barely touched me.

Staring into the golden drink, I watched the bubbles pop. Some floated to the top, others clung to the glass as if trying to hold off their fate.

Which was I? A fighter . . . or a bubble that wanted to be popped?

Putting the glass to my lips, I sipped.

Champagne had never tasted so much like sin.

If You Fight teaser 1

If You Fight teaser 9

It is very rare, I think, to find a second book in a series that is better than the first. However, If You Fight is even better than the first. K.M. Scott kept me flipping those pages so fast because I had to know what was going to happen! If You Fight starts right off after Serena returns from the hospital and long and behold, her father, Robert, has started to accept them as a couple. Serena is determined not to hide her love for Ryder any longer (*clapping hands). I was so excited to see her finally stand up for herself. In true K.M. Scott fashion, a twist comes out of no where.

I love this series because of the love Ryder and Serena have for each other. It is sweet and full of passion. If You Fight brings an element of surprise a romance story does not have and it gets you hooked right away. I love what happens with every character in this series and I love that you can fill their emotions just jump right off the page. This is fantastic series that you will not want to put down!

OTHER BOOKS IN THE SERIES

Oh my heart was breaking right in the beginning of this book! K.M. Scott, wow, I give you a A plus plus on your ability to write a scene so detailed that I felt like I was there physically and emotionally. I could picture Ryder sitting on a fold out chair in a dark dingy warehouse room as if I saw it on screen. This is only one of the few reasons I really enjoyed reading this story.

Ryder has an unbelievable ability to fight and most importantly win. This has gotten him a roof over his head and a few dollars in his pocket so he can eat. When he is “sold” to one of the worlds richest men to fight for him, his whole world changes. He meets Serena. Once this meeting happens, you want nothing but them to fall in love! They start off just as friends, which I loved because it would be something that happened in real life. Just when they are ready to take the next step their world explodes.

This is where you get hooked a reader because K.M. Scott keeps you guessing on what will happen next. Let me tell you every time you have it figured out you are not only wrong but your heart breaks. This is such a great read for someone who loves a story where no matter what keeps a couple apart they keep fighting for each other. What is even more terrific is that part two is out, If You Fight, so you do not have to wait to see what happens!!!!!

Finding Our Forever by Brenda Novak…Blog Tour Stop & Review

 

Brenda Novak, author of FINDING OUR FOREVER, on tour March/April 2017

About Finding Our Forever

  • Series: Silver Springs (Book 1)
  • Mass Market Paperback: 224 pages
  • Publisher: Harlequin Special Edition (March 21, 2017)

New York Times bestselling author Brenda Novak welcomes readers to the town of Silver Springs, where surprises wait around every corner!

The search for her birth mother brought Cora Kelly to the New Horizons Boys Ranch. Getting a job there was easy enough, but confiding in Aiyana, the ranch’s owner, that she’s really her daughter? Cora’s not sure she can do that, not unless she’s confident the news will be welcomed. And once she gets to know Elijah Turner—Aiyana’s adopted son and ranch manager—that decision becomes even more difficult.

Although Elijah can’t deny his deep attraction to Cora, he’s always struggled with trust. Anyone with his past would, and there’s something about the ranch’s newest employee that isn’t exactly as it seems. But if the feelings she awakes in his guarded heart are any indication, she might be just what he’s long been waiting for.

My Review:

Finding Our Forever is the newest work from author Brenda Novak, and admittedly the first of her works that I have read. I really enjoyed it and will definitely be adding more of her books to my to-read list, especially the future books in this series.

This series starter lays the groundwork for what I have a feeling is going to be an amazing series.  This story kicks things off with two people affected by adoptions, but in two different ways.  One is searching for the adoptive mother who gave her away at birth, the other is enjoying the family he was adopted into as a young boy.  The woman’s search leads her to both the truth of her past as well as to a love she never expected.  I loved all the aspects of this story.  From the setting to the characters, it was all done beautifully.  As the story progressed, I experienced so many emotions and it was fantastic.  I will say there was quite a big secret the heroine was keeping from her love interest and I was a nervous wreck that the truth would tear them apart.  Luckily, all ended just as I had hoped it would.

If you’re looking for a well written, well-rounded story with fabulous characters and a wonderful story line, this is a book for you!  Thank you, Ms. Novak, for a great read and a series I look forward to following in the future!
