Author Spotlight….Lily White

Rule No. 1: Do not enter the game unless you intend to finish. Once accepted, there is no escape.

This is a love story, one that comes with rules, expectations, and dark shadows. One where the man who challenges me the most is cloaked in deception. I had no choice but to accept the terms, nowhere to run once the clock started ticking.

Donovan Stone was a man few people dared to cross.

He was dark.

He was dominating.

He was so silent that you had to watch him closely to begin to know what he was thinking.

He was my boss, and the man I should have run from the minute I walked into his corporate office.

Like any bad decision, it took time for me to see the truth about the game I’d entered, for me to understand that it wasn’t the stalker in the shadows I should fear, but the man who pulled the strings.

I had no choice.

At least, that’s the lie I told myself to forgive my foolish actions.

And while running as fast as I could through twisted mazes and deceitful games, I understood that the Rules of Engagement were now my life.

Release Day Blitz…The Director by Lily White

Everybody wants to be an actress, right?

The lights, the camera, the action? The fame, the money, the beauty and esteem. It’s all part of the package.

Unless, of course, you’re part of HIS films.

Ethan Cole was one of the best directors in the business until the day he disappeared. He was charismatic, gorgeous, intriguing and so brilliant that no other person could compare. People believed he’d simply quit. In truth, he’d gone underground.

I found him after being stolen from the streets. I was thrown into his new world, his fantasies, his decadent chaos, and I found myself fighting just to stay alive.

He seduced me while tormenting me.

Made me a star while keeping me hidden from the public’s eye.

He asked me one simple question before shoving me in front of the glittering lights and dark lens of his camera.

One question, requiring only one response:

Fuck or Die?

Reasons Behind The Director:

(pulled from her post directly and with Lily’s permission)

I’ve received several messages today regarding The Director and my choice to write a book I knew I wouldn’t be able to sell on major retailers.

So in answer to those wondering, I wrote Director with two purposes in mind. First, was to give a gift to my readers who truly love pitch black dark books. Like them, I read many genres, and love books that push the boundaries. I see the dark not just for the horror contained within it, but also for the light that can be found if you read between the lines. These are survival stories, and to me, people who choose to survive despite dire circumstances are people I admire.

The Director is also my small rebellion against those who want to impose their opinions on what other people choose to read. Not every book is for every person, and I understand that, but I also don’t believe the opinions of some should dictate the choices of others. The refusal to list certain books by retailers is theirs to make. I take no issue with that, but it doesn’t mean books like The Director won’t be written and won’t be read. It just means we find a new way to do so, both author and reader.

I knew going into this project that The Director wouldn’t be a return of investment on my time in writing it, but it was never about the money.

It was about the point that authors won’t be silenced on what they choose to write, and readers won’t be silenced on what they choose to read.

We all make our voices heard in one way or another. I simply chose to make mine heard through my Dark Exclusives.

OMG Meghan – what are you doing to me?!?! I can’t get enough of this trilogy!! As soon as this book landed on my kindle, my whole body was dying to jump into this book and see what was happening next. I am seriously OBESSED with Keira and Mount.

First off, if you have not read the first book in this series, Ruthless King, go do that right now. Just stop reading my review (it may spoil something) and go read it. DO IT!! Why are you still reading this???? For those who have read it, continue on….or just go start this book now because like me, you need to know what happens!!

“The Golden Rule. He who has the most gold makes the rules…and gets to determine where those lines between right and wrong are drawn.”

Defiant Queen continues on with Keira and Lachlan’s story and Meghan’s does not let up on anything. The book continues as the perfect pace with an amazing mix of action packed moments and holy shit sex scenes!! I couldn’t out this book down at all.

We learn a bit more about Lachlan with some snippets of his past and Keira is still fighting herself with her body wanting Lachlan and her mind raging a war against that. She knows that this will never be more than a debt being paid but when Lachlan starts complicating things more, she’s starting to see a different side to him.

Keira and Lachlan have this magnetic push and pull with one another. And with everything else going on around them, it just adds this perfect blend of angst, drama and sexual tension. I love every damn word in this book!! And that ending – OMG. I just can’t.

Give me Sinful Empire now!!!

Follow by Tessa Bailey…Release Day Event with Review, Excerpt, and Giveaway

Synopsis:

He wants her soul. Too bad she already sold it.

Family is everything to gambling den darling, Teresa Valentini. Blood comes first, especially before men. So when her brother lands himself in hot water, she’s willing to do whatever it takes to save him. And showing up topless in her unwitting savior’s motel room is turning out to be the furthest thing from a hardship…

Will Caruso is the bad boy of New York’s financial scene…and he just found out the very thing that drives his success is a damn lie. Now, he’s exchanged his high-stress life for the open road, no one but his Great Dane…and half a million Instagram followers to keep him company. When a mysterious beauty arrives, her secrecy prods his suspicions, even while she tempts his lust to the breaking point.

Teresa met Will under false pretenses, but the bond consuming them is real. They’re strong enough to overcome a little betrayal…aren’t they?

My Review:

If you know anything about me, you know I am a huge Tessa Bailey fan. I always get as excited as a kid on Christmas Eve when she has a new release. That being said, I’m sure you can imagine it would be hard for me to pick a favorite book of hers; or even a top five. Well, I can say with 100% certainty that after finishing Follow, if I had to pick a top five list, this would be in that top five. Oh, man, how I loved this book…

From the very first page, I was intrigued. Teresa is a bit of a mystery when we first met her and I was dying to put the pieces together and solve who she is. Those pieces start to fall into place when she has to save her brother from fate handing him the same cards her father was dealt. Those cards involved the mafia and one of their head honchos. It’s in trying to save her brother she crosses paths with Will. Will, the delicious mix of hard and soft, strong and sweet. She had her plan laid out in front of her and was determined to stick to it, and all was going well, until she started to get to know Will and when that happened she knew she was a goner. Suddenly her position went from slightly uncomfortable to downright impossible. Suddenly she would have to find another way to save her brother and hopefully manage to save what she’s found with Will. That is, if Will doesn’t find out why she was there in the first place…

Ugh, these two! I just LOVED them! Teresa is a bad ass with a big, loyal heart. She’s a gal I would so want to hang out with, and a gal I would love to share a shoe closet with. Will had my heart from the very beginning. I mean the man is taking his pup on a very special road trip, trying to gain a little levity in his stressful, high-powered life. He’s a guy you would never think would do it, and yet there he was, dog bowl and all, just letting the road carry him. It was such a beautiful juxtaposition. They’re both really at a crossroad in their lives and there was no better time for them to have met. Sure, the circumstances are kind of a mess, but it all works out in such a perfect way.

Oh, and I would be remiss if I didn’t give mention to the scorching heat and delicious dirty talk delivered in this book. I’m fanning myself even now, sitting at the computer, tying this review. Once again, Ms. Bailey delivers dirty talk with her signature blend of possessiveness and emotion. No one does it better!

So, here I am in a total book hangover, already missing Will and Teresa. Go out and grab this book, guys. You won’t be disappointed!

Excerpt:

The cheers are deafening. Will hoots and rises from his chair, moving into a spot behind mine. Paula takes his place across from me. Everyone crowds in on all sides. And suddenly my world has been narrowed down to an arm wrestling arena.

“All right, baby.” Will’s voice smokes into my ear. “Here’s how we get to five seconds. You’re going to top-roll.”

“We? And what is that?”

I sound like a hysterical cartoon character, but Will continues undaunted, his breath on my neck, his thumb massaging me between the shoulder blades. “If we make this a bicep game, she’s got you beat, so we’re going to make it about hands, fingers and wrists, to ease the disadvantage. You’re going to work your palm upwards, along hers, like you’re trying to wrap your hand around the top part of hers. Just hold firm and focus on coming over the top of her.”

Paula is mean mugging me across the table, gum being mutilated between her teeth. “I thought you ran a hedge fund,” I mutter to Will.

“I didn’t always,” he mutters, laying a kiss on my cheek. “Five seconds. You got this.”

“I was wondering why you aren’t already married. Mystery solved. You get a lap dance from your date. Then she gets her arm torn off.”

Another kiss and this time his lips linger on my temple. “You could look at it that way. Or you could look at it mine. Thank fuck I’m not married or I’d have missed the girl who gave me a lap dance, then took on the local gator-wrestling champ. All before lunchtime.” His fingers slide up into my hair and tug, firm and gentle all at once. “Thank fuck, right?”

About the author:

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days.

Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.

She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of ten years and six-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

I have been seeing Meghan March’s name popping up everywhere and like always, I tend to not follow the sheep and just sit back and do my own thing – I am not one to jump and run when I see rave reviews all of sudden for a particular book or author. I know I am an oddity but that’s just how I roll. Anyway, I was given the chance to review an arc of Meghan’s newest series and thought why not – the blurb intrigued me and finally figured it would be a good time to see what the excitement was all about. Yea, now I see why.

Ruthless King is the start Meghan’s newest series, Mount Trilogy. All the books must be read in order and they will be released within a month of each. YAY!!! While Meghan definitely leaves us gripping the edges of our seats in each book, the wait is short lived and the anticipation is so amazing.

In Ruthless King, we meet Keira and Mount. Keira’s family’s Whiskey business is running on fumes. She’s doing everything she can to stay afloat and affluent in today’s world. In the midst of all that, her now dead husband left her with a debt she was unaware of and the payment isn’t something she has.

Lachlan Mount is the man who has come to collect his payment. He makes Keira an offer she can’t refuse. While she wants to refuse it with every fiber of her being, she has no other options. And really, no one says no to Lachlan Mount.

Keira enters a deal where she has no idea what the end results will truly be. As much as she tries to deny Mount what he wants, it only pushes him more and more. The game of pull and push between these two is amazing. Keira is like an enigma to Mount. No-one has ever pushed him before, no one has ever challenged him before and no one has ever talked back to him before. Keira knows she’s in devil’s lair, but has no problem at poking him every chance she gets.

I have to say, for as little as we know about Lachlan Mount, he sure made me loathe him yet kept me intrigued. And I think it’s because of that mystery of who he is, how he became this powerful man and holds this supreme hand over all, that pulls the reader in.

I love that Keira isn’t a pushover. I love that she battles with herself on what she is feeling, but she keeps her strengths about her and won’t allow herself to succumb to him in every way.

“She may have marked me tonight, but I marked her first.”

Meghan wrote quite an interesting tale and I am really enjoying it. I won’t give any more away because it’s hard to not say one thing and it be spoiler for the reader. If you love a great suspense with a ton of hot, somewhat erotic scenes, you will definitely enjoy this book and the ones to follow!!

Release Day Blitz…Illusions of Evil by Lily White

? ? ?

? ? ?

CONFESS.

It’s what he said to me across his altar, what he demanded so that I would be pure.

In the moment he blessed me with his virtue, I was no longer the woman I’d once been.

I was Eve.

His light.

His salvation.

His bridge to Heaven’s gate.

I failed him because my faith was not strong enough.

He punished me for not giving in.

Resisting temptation is never easy.

Not when his hands, his teeth, his heat and hunger were the greatest of my sins.

Dirty Little Promise by Kendall Ryan…Blog Tour & Review

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

3.75 Stars

If you read my review for the previous book in this series, you know that I was not exactly thrilled with how things were playing out; nor did I care for two of the main characters as they gave me whiplash with their actions. However, Kendall revived herself with this book and the continuation of their story.

Dirty Little Promise starts off where Dirty Little Secret ended – Emma found out about Gavin’s ex and her trust has been shaken, a lot. And she had to found out through Gavin’s brother, Cooper. As you know from the first book, Emma was “dating” the two brothers and I say that loosely because really, she was just dating Gavin and being a friend to Cooper because her feelings for Cooper never went beyond that (Cooper’s feelings were a whole other story and one we only see through Emma and Gavin’s view – more on this in a bit).

Anyway, Emma no longer trusts Gavin and has been avoiding him. Gavin is a total headcase over this and has no clue what his next steps should be. He’s a total control freak and hates not having any control, especially in situations that are new to him – he’s doing the chase when he’s always been the one to be chased. Gavin’s alpha tendencies are explained better in this book – he’s just a control freak in every aspect and that definitely has to do with this upbringing.

I love that Emma gained a backbone in this book – FINALLY!!! My biggest issues in the first book are addressed and “fixed” in this book and allows their relationship to flow much better. I am able to understand their actions and emotions more in this book and things don’t seem to jagged. These two learn to talk and trust one another instead of just doling out commands and expecting shit to happen. Gavin is able to let go some of his control and let Emma live her own life with him by her side.

There are a few mishaps along the way that try to tear apart these two, but it only helps make their bond stronger and show everyone that they are fierce pair together. Things aren’t happy-go-lucky with the brothers, but at least they aren’t tearing each other’s throats out. As I mentioned before, we get a few glimpses of Cooper in this book, but he’s MIA for the majority as if he off licking his wounds and trying to heal from Emma breaking his heart. Again, we only know of this through Emma and Gavin’s eyes, so Cooper’s true feelings and what he’s thinking through all of this is only known based on what we view through these two and not from Cooper’s POV. It’ll be interesting to see how his story plays out in the next book.

Overall, it was a nice conclusion to the first book and a great segway into the Cooper’s book. I am definitely looking forward to his book.

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?

TORRID LITTLE AFFAIR

The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else. And I have the perfect candidate all picked out.

My new assistant is tempting beyond belief with her curvy body and take-no-shit attitude. All those luscious curves, and a juicy ass I’m already in love with. God, the things that I would do to that ass…

But it’s the haunted look in her eyes that speaks to me. Like she’s taken just as much shit in her past as I have—maybe more. We both deserve a little fun.

Love can’t fix everything. Mind-blowing sex and a few killer orgasms, on the other hand?

I have a feeling those might do the trick.

Synopsis

Jordan
This story isn’t about love, like, lust, or a happily ever after. This story, my story, is about struggle, pain and suffering. Fighting to stay afloat while being pulled under by what feels like the murky and powerful undertow of the ocean. Fighting for strength I so desperately need when all I am feeling is desolate and weak. I’m a girl who exudes hatred when a normal girl of my age and pedigree should be the picture perfect portrait of love.

Alcohol consumes me. Drugs numb me. Sex for money feeds the hollow abyss deep within me. How does a soon-to-be twenty-five year old escort turn her life around when the last several years of her life has been spent traveling down a very dark path?

The Shadow
She became my obsession, my every thought. She is the reason I wake up in the morning, plotting, scheming, exacting a revenge she so desperately deserves. But will she take my offer once she learns my true identity; sees the darkness within me, or will she hate me for lying to her all of these years, leading her to lose herself to the drugs and alcohol that have kept her ghosts at bay? Will she be my Precious?

If you have read any of Tesha’s previous work, please be prepared for her to take you on a totally different ride with this book. As the blurb states, this book is not about HEA’s. It’s not roses, unicorns, butterflies and rainbows. It’s life of one woman who at one point had at all; then one harrowing night changes her entire world and being.

My opinions may be slightly biased because I did edit this book, and as an editor, I wouldn’t allow my authors to put out a shit book. But I also thoroughly enjoyed reading this story when it was all said and done. What I loved about this book was Tesha’s ability to push herself out the norms of her other books – to write what’s begging to be written. It’s not as dark as originally planned only because she wanted to ease her existing fans into a different genre, but also still pull in new readers too. But it still has the dark tendencies with the edge of suspense built in.

The story line is about a young woman who is raped at the young age of 17 and how that one night changes and shapes her into the woman she becomes. It’s not pretty, but it’s real, raw and ugly. But everyone once in awhile, there is a beacon of light in those dark places. And Jordan’s beacon of light is The Shadow, Hunter Knight, someone she never anticipated becoming more than just another one of her outlets, her addictions.

Hunter (Shadow) and Jordan may not have the most conventional type of relationship, but it works for them. Crazy attracts crazy, right?! They somehow are able to find the rhythm that works for them – an imperfectly perfect balance.

But the main reason for Hunter ever finding himself in Jordan’s life to exact revenge for her for all the ways she had been wronged in her past. Jordan may not think she can ever face her demons, but with Hunter by her side, there isn’t anything that can stop these two.

I enjoyed reading this as Tesha put the story together – seeing how everything falls into place. Seeing how fucked up two individuals can be and that for some people, there are no boundaries when you’ve been to hell and returned with those scars. It’s an enjoyable suspense not just between Hunter and Jordan, but how things play out in the very end for everyone.

If Tesha is a new author to you, I urge you to give this book a try, if you can stomach a twisted romance with dark undertones. If you’ve read Tesha’s previous books, be prepared for something completely opposite of what she’s given us before.

Author Bio

T. R. Cupak was born and raised in the California Bay Area. She now lives in a quiet town south of where she grew up with her husband and their shih tzu Harley. She is obsessed with cars, especially fast ones, and enjoys her music louder than anyone should. When she’s not at work or busy writing, you can find her curled up, reading and enjoying a fabulous glass of wine or a Dirty Shirley.

Despite her lifelong love of literature, Cupak lost touch with her creative side in her early twenties. Her passion for reading was rekindled six years ago, however, and in 2013 she started journaling. This practice helped Cupak hone her creative aspirations, and soon she saw her characters come to life. She has rediscovered her passion for storytelling and wants to share her words with everyone who wants to read them.
