It takes a
killer to catch a killer.
And no one understands the motives of ruthless murderer, The Sandman, quite like Rhett Voss. 
Having spent his childhood in the shadows of the deranged lunatic, he’s become an expert on the topic. Killing is in his blood, and as a hitman for hire, Voss maintains a steady diet of carnage, himself.
Except lately, it’s lost its appeal. Until he’s enticed to track down the clever
Sandman who has his sights set on Nola Tensley.
The stunning single mom is a distraction Voss can’t afford, but to catch his elusive kin, he needs to watch the next victim closely. Consequently, stalking her soon becomes a dangerous obsession, turning a friendly game of cat and mouse into more than he bargained for, when someone close to Nola goes missing.
Suddenly, it’s no longer an old vendetta fueling Voss’s need to hunt down his enemy, but new stakes that are sure to mean more bloodshed. Voss knows better than anyone, though: to draw a killer out of hiding, one must have the right bait.
And both of them want Nola.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Nocturnes & Nightmares (Sandman Duet) by Keri Lake

 

Title: Nocturnes & Nightmares
Series: The Sandman Duet #1
Author: Keri Lake
Genre: Romantic Thriller/Romantic Suspense
Release Date: April 29, 2019
Blurb
The most terrifying monsters aren’t found in dreams
…
Four young
socialites have gone missing in the Chicago area. Two found dead, bearing the
signature marks of a brutal serial killer. With the kind of tragedy that mars
Nola Tensley’s past, she should be concerned, but without a pot to piss in, all
the struggling single mom cares about is making a normal life for her son.
After all,
she’s clearly not the murderer’s type.
Or is she?
When Rhett
Voss, an enigmatic and handsome stranger, answers her ad for the outdated
in-law suite at the back of her property, offering double her asking price,
Nola really can’t refuse. Even though the supposed Wall Street Wolf seems
better suited for a high-rise downtown—a suspicion that quickly turns into
hindsight once she submits to the flirtations of her charming new tenant, and
consequently, unearths a series of disturbing revelations.
Her
curiosities lead her down the path of a madman, whose moniker, The Sandman, only hints at the grisly
nature of his crimes. He’s smart. Evasive. A cunning psychopath with a twisted
method of disposing his victims.
And his
hunting grounds are hitting too close to home.

Author note:
This book contains scenes of graphic sex and violence that some readers
may find disturbing.

When Keri said that she was going to write a romantic thriller, I was all-in, no blurb needed.

Just when I think that Keri has taken us to the darkest recesses her of mind, she draws us down another dark alley with her twisted musings.

Voss is a very twisted man that I am not sure we will ever understand. He may be able to “control” his wants, urges and desires but I don’t think he will ever be able to truly control himself.

Nola’s family is definitely fucked over by fate – no way else to say it. Somewhere along the time, someone in her family pissed off a higher being and now Karma is having her fun with them.

The Sandman – who is he really?!?! How does he know Nola and what he does want with her? We have an idea how Voss plays into this, but that still remains a bit of a mystery too. What does the Sandman want from him??

I have to say that I am quite intrigued by the whole suspense and thrill of this story. The romance definitely plays second fiddle to it but it’s a nice blended feature. The sex in this book is definitely more on the erotic side and even a bit disturbing at times. However – that is what adds to the thrilling part of this story – without the depravity of those scenes, this book would be lacking.

Overall, I have no doubt this duet will be a smashing hit as a romantic thriller. Aside from a thing or two that bugged me, this book is an amazing start to the duet. I am so glad that we do not have long to wait for the second book to release; I am anxiously waiting on pins and needles to see what else Keri can surprise us with.

Read at your own risk. 😉

Release Day Blitz & Review….Sin & Discipline by Lily White

Title: Sin & Discipline
Author: Lily White
Genre: Taboo Romance
Release Date: April 24, 2019
Lennon Carter first saw my face with his hand around my throat.
 
Shock widened his eyes, starbursts of anger for what I’d done. That moment should have been the last of us; our beginning and end. Fate, it seems, had other plans.
 
A dedicated musician, Lennon would become my mentor, my shadow, my protector and nightmare.
 
We were two discordant notes that somehow blended with perfect harmony.
Challenged to become a pianist as talented as him, I became Lennon’s SIN, while he became my DISCIPLINE.



Sin & Discipline is another amazing standalone book from Lil White and she doesn’t let her readers down at all.

Lennon Carter is musician dedicated to his craft and is well-known for the music he creates. He’s returned to his old stomping grounds as a teacher for a music program that will aware a scholarship to an exemplary and prestigious music school.

Amelia is one of the 100 students who will be auditioning for the scholarship and is placed under Lennon’s teachings. However, their initial meeting was not quite what she anticipated.

Lily White does a great job of taking a delicate story line and not blowing it completely out of proportion and overdramatizing. I love how things come to fruition, blend and work out. There is no unnecessary drama and she holds true to the characters’ maturity.

While there is a mild taboo, it’s nothing outrageous and I think many readers won’t be appalled by it. There is quite a few blazing hot scenes with a smide touch of BDSM/Erotica – I would describe it as a good peak at what could be. I love that some scenes Lily plays out while other scenes, she leaves it your imagination and I find that sometimes even hotter.

Overall, I was truly engaged in this story from start to finish. I enjoyed the underlying suspense that blended well with the taboo and sexy scenes. While the ending felt slightly rushed and a bit abrupt, sometimes it’s just better to leave as is and allow the reader to imagine what they want for the couples future.

“Who are you, Amelia Dillon?”
Confusion flooded me. “What?”
It bothered me how my question came out more as a startled squeak than a word.
He grinned, just the corner of his lips curling with lazy satisfaction. Reaching out with his free hand, he trapped my chin between his fingers, holding my gaze to his without concern that I hadn’t invited the touch. Electricity sparked where his skin met mine, my head dizzy, my breath as uneven as my heartbeat.
“Who are you?”
My heart was in my throat, beating staccato so hard that I swore I was a few seconds from passing out. “I don’t-“
The gentle tone of his voice was at odds with his question. “Are you the shitty little thief hiding in a hoodie and baggy jeans? Or are you a musician who demands respect based on her talent and discipline?”
He was enjoying this moment far too much, the truth of his amusement written in the line of his lips, the sleepy look in his blue eyes. It only frightened me more.
“I’m a musician,” I whispered.
Mr. Carter leaned forward and I panicked, my eyes locked to his lips. He shouldn’t have been this close to me. There had to be rules against this. He didn’t seem to care.
I wasn’t a girl to be pushed around or controlled. Yet, in his presence, I stilled in place, unable to find the willpower to fight or move away.
Breath hot against my cheek, he whispered, “I don’t think you are. I think a musician would know better than to risk her hands acting like a stupid hoodrat that robs people. I think a musician knows better than to question the man who will be judging her performance. I think-“
My lips parted on a tremulous breath.
“-you didn’t believe me when I warned you I would spank your ass red if I ever caught you doing something so stupid again.”
There was no question about it; I was three seconds away from passing out.
He knew it and I knew it, his blue eyes locked to mine when he warned, “You should know that threat extends to you questioning me in class as well.”

 

Lily White is a romance writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. She is most known for her Masters Series, Target This, Wishing Well, and Asylum. In addition to dark romance Lily writes contemporary romance, taboo romance, and psychological thrillers. Lily enjoys stretching her writing muscles by continuing to challenge herself with each book she publishes.

Release Day Blitz & Review….Baby Mine by Kennedy Fox

 

 
I saw her first.

Blonde. Gorgeous. Feisty.
I was smitten. But it didn’t matter because she chose him and
he was my best friend and roommate. I’d never be able to compete with that, so
I pushed her away instead. It was easy when she lived hours away, and I didn’t
have to see her every day, but then she moved in with us. 
Now, I’m screwed.To her singing in the shower every morning,
dancing in the kitchen while she makes coffee, and doing yoga in our living
room, I can’t stop thinking about her in all the wrong ways. She’s not mine and
never will be, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting to push her against a wall
and claim her mouth.She’s constantly on me for making messes,
bringing chicks home every weekend, and being a smartass when their PDA gets on
my nerves. Considering neither of them know how I feel, it’s not fair for the
way I act toward them. I should move out so I can get over her for good;
however, the selfish part of me can’t let go. 

But then the unthinkable happens… 
When my best friend dies in a motorcycle
accident, the two of us are left to grieve our loss together. Instead of
pushing her away, I pull her closer. 

Just as we come to terms with our new reality,
she finds out she’s pregnant with his baby. 
And I’m left to make the hardest decision of my
life…

When I started reading this, I completely forgot it was a duet. And now I am trying to be patient to see what happens after that ending…..

Kennedy Fox definitely knows how to write contemporary romance with the right amount of angst added in to make the books all the more enjoyable.

The blurb tells you all you need to know about what happens in the book (almost). However, it’s the actual interactions and how they get to where they are that makes the story a good one.

Baby Mine is told from both Hunter and Lennon’s POV. They are both enjoyable characters and I like that they act their age (minus Hunter’s asshole ways). They are very relatable people and I think that’s what makes this book more realistic.

This book is definitely a great start for the Roommate Duet’s as we meet all the other characters that I have no doubt we will see more of in later books. I love the banter between everyone and how natural things are in the story. Nothing is over the top shocking and the duo of Kennedy Fox definitely like to keep us on our toes with that ending…..

Bring on the next book!

Blurb:
Beautiful, penniless American girl meets handsome, wealthy Scotsman.

Sounds like the beginning of a fairy-tale romance?

It’s not.

This story begins with a contract.

And an exchange of money.

A lot of money.

An angel perches nervously on one shoulder.

A devil lounges smugly on my other.

And even that dark little bastard is leery of what I’m doing.

Maxwell Hutcheson wants the girlfriend experience.

All of it.

And I’m going to give it to him.

I’m not supposed to enjoy being his whore.

I’m also not supposed to fall in love with him.

But I do. Both.

When our contract expires, I will walk away.

Because I have to.

But he’ll always have a piece of me.

I’ll mask my sorrow with a smile.

I’ll hide my love with indifference

… all while it’s killing me softly.

A fairy-tale romance.

It isn’t mine to have.

And this man I’ve come to love so dearly isn’t my happily ever after.

About Eighty-One Nights:

While the characters from Eighty-One Nights are entirely new, their storyline is a combination of fresh material and carefully selected themes, scenes, and settings from The Beauty Series, The Sin Trilogy, Dear Agony, and Indulge. This is intentional. I chose some of my favorite elements from previous releases and interjected them into Hutch and Lou’s story. Let’s call it a “story fusion” between our old favorites and new material. This work was briefly released under a pen name and was titled The Girlfriend Experience.

 

 

Excerpt:
“No one gets to call you a whore.”

“You can.”

He stops eating and looks at me. “I’d never degrade you by calling you a whore.”

“Not a whore. Your whore. There’s a difference.”

I can almost see the wheels turning in Hutch’s head. “You’re my whore?”

“Yes. Only yours.”

“My whore.” He grins. “I don’t think that I’m supposed to like that, but I do.”

“And I don’t think I’m supposed to like being your whore, but I do. Very much.”

He reaches out for my hand and brings it to his mouth, kissing it. “You never cease to amaze me.”

“Dirty talk. Never underestimate the power of it.”

 

I was a tad hesitant on how much I would enjoy this one. I love that Georgia was upfront with how she came about this idea but I still have some small reservations that it would be pulled off well. And boy was I wrong.

Do not go into this with any pretenses on what you have read before. I can assure you, whatever you are thinking, it’s not what happens in this book.

Max (Hutch) is a widow but his heart is not where one would think it is. Max is struggling to move forward in his life, but in ways no one can imagine. He holds a lot of secrets from everyone in his life and he has his reasons. But those secrets are also preventing him from being able to be himself in life.

Cait (Lou) is struggling to find a way for her last upcoming year in college. She’s found herself in a bit a pinch with money until her best friend lets her on in a little secret. A secret that will forever change Cait’s life – for better or worse.

Max and Cait meet in one of the most unusual ways but nothing about their lives is normal. So it’s only fitting that they meet this way. Their “girlfriend arrangement” meets both their needs and they follow the expectations set for one another. While Cait has her reservations on certain things, they both come to agreement that they both can agree upon.

I have to say – this story was so much more than I had expected. And I loved every for it. I love the interactions, the secondary characters, the nuances they learn about one another and the agreement to always say what they are thinking. And the sex in this book – WOW!! There was a lot more than I had anticipated but it definitely did not hurt the overall plot of this story. If anything, it only help serve the purpose and the deepening of the relations between Max and Cait.

Since this is a duet, I knew to expect a cliffy. While it’s definitely one I saw coming, I am still anxious to see what happens next. There are still some secrets that have not been spilt and some underlying problems that I am anxious to see play out.

Georgia Cates has definitely delivered on he promise of giving us a “story infusion” by blending the old with the new and giving us a story that we soon won’t forget.
