On the Way to You, an all-new emotional standalone from Kandi Steiner is LIVE!

On the Way to You by Kandi Steiner

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publishing Date: November 16th, 2017

What makes you happy?

That was the question Emery Reed asked me the day we met, and I couldn’t give him a single answer. I could have said my dog, or my books, or yoga — but I just stared.

And then, I got in his car.

It was crazy to take a road trip with a stranger, but after years of standing still, he was my one-way ticket to a new life, and I wasn’t going to miss it.

We shared the same space, the same car, the same hotel room — and still, we were strangers.

One day we’d be laughing, the next, we wouldn’t speak. Emery was surrounded by impenetrable walls, but I wanted in.

Discovering his journal changed everything.

I read his thoughts, words not meant for anyone’s eyes, and the more I learned about him, the harder I fell. It turned out nothing made Emery Reed happy, and I wanted to change that.

I earned his trust by violating his privacy, and as wrong as it was, it worked — until one entry revealed a darkness I never knew existed, a timer I never knew was ticking.

Suddenly, what made me happy was saving Emery from himself. I just didn’t know if I could.

Well, if the last book I read by Kandi was any indication that she really knows how to wrangle your emotions, this book definitely proves that once again.

“It isn’t death that’s scary. It’s living without actually living at all, breathing without purpose, existing without essence. I’ll walk into Death’s arms willingly with a smile on my face, and that cold embrace will be the warmest I’ve ever been. I’m not scared. I never have been.”

Kandi wrote another meaningful and strong story. It touches your heart in so many ways. It opens your eyes to the way people see things. Not only does this story make you find the happiness in everything, but it makes you also see why some people just can’t see that light; why people struggle with depression. And sometimes there just isn’t a reason why; it just is and that’s ok.

Emery and Cooper are two polar opposite people in every aspect possible. She’s light, he’s dark. She sees hope in everything; he sees nothing but a dead end. She wishes for her true love; he doesn’t believe in true love. But these two also teach each other in ways they never anticipated.

Emery has a lot more experience in life than Cooper. She’s been cooped in her little town her entire 20 years, but has a goal of getting out and moving to Washington where her dream school is. But her life up until now hasn’t exactly been peachy, but she has refused to let that stop her. Without giving much away, Cooper has used the hurtful words thrown her way to push her forward, to never be like that.

Emery has pretty much lived the perfect life anyone could want. Except he just can’t see the beauty in it. And it’s not because he isn’t grateful, but because he suffers from depression. A depression that he can’t explain and that makes it all the more difficult for him. Only one person in his life has ever understood him, his grandmother. And now she is gone. So he’s set out on the journey he promised her before she passed.

Oh I am getting chills throughout my body just thinking about this journey. Emery picks up Cooper on the first leg of his journey and damn if it’s not a journey of a lifetime. Not just because of the places they visit, but how they both each grow a bit along the way – in the short span that it is, they grow in ways neither expected. And that is all I am giving you. Because their journey is one you need to take with them without any insight.

“And in my heart, I knew the odds were against us – that we might be able to start the happily ever after, but our chances of finishing it were slim.”

Kandi, thank you for writing another poignant and meaningful book. A lot of times we read to get lost in the characters or other worlds; to let our imagination take over. And then we read books like this where we get wrapped up in the emotions and the heart of the story because it’s something that needs to be heard and understood.

To fellow readers, yes this is just story that I know you will enjoy and fall in love with the characters. But know that you are also getting one hell of a meaningful story that rings true to life for so many people.

Enjoy.

Prince Roman by C.D. Reiss…ARC Review

by Jilly

Prince Roman releases TOMORROW!

Synopsis:

Rules for my new job:
1) Do not have sex with a man in the office (again).
2) Do not break Rule #1

I’m playing it cool, clean, and professional…until I meet Roman Bianchi. He’s not an insecure nerd or an ego-hole like the other kings of Silicon Valley. He’s charming and handsome. He’s fun, funny, and smart.

He’s also in the office across the hall.

Two broken rules waiting to happen.
I can’t lose this job over some guy.
But Roman’s not just some guy. Under that suit and cocky smile, he’s a prince.

My Review:

Prince Roman is the newest work from author C.D. Reiss and is novella number 19 in the 2017 1,001 Dark Nights lineup. I always know I can count on Ms. Reiss for a sexy, fun, flirty story with a kick ass heroine and boy, oh, boy this was no exception.

As in the real world, workplace romance can be very very tricky. Never has this been more true than in the situation we find Raven and Roman. You see, Raven is the woman in charge and Roman works for her. That, I must say, was the aspect I most enjoyed. I love a strong female lead and think it is so damn important in this day and age, especially. She was a boss both inside the boardroom and in the bedroom, being unabashed when it came to saying exactly what she desired. But I also loved Roman in that he could let Raven take the lead but also assert his own delicious brand of alpha dominance. Yummy with a capital “Y”!

These two were off the charts smoking hot and I couldn’t get enough of them. Adding to their insanely scorching chemistry is the internal struggle they both go through when they start to realize what was supposed to be a casual, secret fling is turning into much more and the possible ramifications of what that could mean for both of their careers. I don’t want to ruin even one second of their journey for you, so you have to trust me when I say: pick up this book!

Whether you’re already a fan of Ms. Reiss or this is your first taste, I know you will adore Prince Roman!

Biography:

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.

Juniper Unraveling by Keri Lake…Release Day Blitz & Review

by Courtney

Juniper Unraveling

Author: Keri Lake

Genre: Dark Dystopian Romance

Papa says everyone has a story that deserves to be told.

Most begin years ago, after the second bomb hit, unearthing a deadly contagion that divided the population into the pure, the infected, and the Ragers.

Many recount the moment we rose up from the ashes and started anew.

Others tell of the day we built a wall to keep them out.
For some, they’re nothing more than the vestiges left behind—a simple name carved into the knotty bark of a Juniper tree.

My story begins with a boy. A mute, from the other side of the wall, known only as Six, who touched my heart in ways that words never could, and gave me the courage to face my darkest truth.

ONLY 99 CENTS FOR A LIMITED TIME

GRAB YOUR COPY:

AMAZON US | AMAZON UK | AMAZON CA | AMAZON AU

When Keri told me she was writing a story that has been in her head for quite some time and was nothing like she wrote before, I was all in. I didn’t even need a blurb or genre to want to read this book. That is just how great I knew this book would be. And I was not wrong at all.

Juniper Unraveling is Keri’s debut in the Dystopian world. It’s also a post-apocalyptic world and it’s slightly different even with her zombie-like creatures called Ragers. Keri adds a uniqueness to this story that sets it apart from other post-apocalyptic and dystopian stories we’ve read before.

The beginning of this book is told from two POV’s – two young, teenage girls who are living in this new world after a huge virus took out almost the entire world. Then midway through things start to coming together, all these bits and pieces from these two girls are starting to make sense BUT there are still so many unanswered questions that have you itching for answers. The second half has alot more action and is faster-paced because of everything finally hitting that crescendo and you can’t stop yourself from reading what happens next.

I found the buildup of everything from how the virus started, to the outbreak, to where they are now, to be quite interesting and entertaining. And even as they are living in this new world, all the testing and hush-hush experiments is just as deadly as the actual Ragers they are trying to kill – it all ties together somehow. Keri does a great job of brining everything to life on the pages – I felt like I had a movie playing out in my head as I was reading.

Keri has so much in this book – the survivors behind the wall living a “blind life” because they do not want to know what happens beyond the wall; those who are still living in their hives and not only fighting Ragers, but the Legion too; those who were living in hives but captured by the Legion – it’s those people’s lives that are most unique in this book, but every singular person plays an important role in this story.

Yea, I know I did not give you much to go on in terms of the plot and I won’t. Keri writes a very enthralling and entertaining tale. As with all of Keri’s books, there is dark undertone and there some scenes that some may find too graphic, but it’s so damn good that if the scenes weren’t written that way, it just wouldn’t work. Plus she adds in her fabulous panty-melting scenes that are a great mix with this book. Everything just flows flawlessly.

If you love dystopian or post-apocalyptic reads, you definitely need to read this book. Hell, even if you have never read either genre before, I beg you to give this book a go. I have no doubt you will find yourself loving a new genre.

Keri Lake is a dark romance writer who specializes in demon wrangling, vengeance dealing and wicked twists. Her stories are gritty, with antiheroes that walk the line of good and bad, and feisty heroines who bring them to their knees. When not penning books, she enjoys spending time with her husband, daughters, and their rebellious Labrador (who doesn’t retrieve a damn thing). She runs on strong coffee and alternative music, loves a good red wine, and has a slight addiction to dark chocolate.

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

by Jilly

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?”

Unintended is a standalone in this series, and you can very much read it without any confusion. I have not read the first 3 books in this series, but I read Endurance where we first learned of Kieran and his intentions and let me tell you, I did not like him at all. So I was wondering how Georgia was going to pull this one off.

Well Georgia did not let me down at all; she made me fall in love with Kieran. She made me love Kieran and Westlyn, both individually and as a couple. In their worlds, things must be done a certain way; they must follow their families paths and continue onto with their heritages.

Kieran must a choose a bride as part of his duty and become future leader of The Order. But his family wants to form a treaty with The Fellowship; they want for Kieran to choose a woman from within The Fellowship to bind this treaty of peace and bring these two powers together for the greater good.

If you read Endurance, you know that Kieran kidnaps Westlyn and forces her into this marriage. And that is all we know, until now. And Georgia has given a new side of Kieran that I never saw coming. He may be The Order’s hitman, but he also has a soft side, an enduring side. And this is the side that he needs to show to Westlyn.

Westlyn was stolen from her family and is now being forced to marry someone she met, they very man her took her without permission. Westlyn isn’t some pushover; she refuses to become a weak submissive to Kieran. And if Kieran wants to show Westlyn that he’s not the ruthless man who stole her away, he’s got a lot of making up to do.

I love how Westlyn and Kieran’s relationship pans out. Watching these two grow together, shows their strengths and what they bring to one another. They knew when to push and when to pull back. I fell in love with these two so much.

“Love is like a rose. It blooms at the perfect time when it’s at its most beautiful, but only after being nurtured. That’s what our relationship needs: to be nurtured so it can bloom when it’s at its most beautiful.”

I love that we got to see what happened when Kieran captured Westlyn. For those that didn’t read Endurance, you won’t miss anything; but for those of us who did, it’s like a behind the scenes of what happened in Endurance. I was sucked into this story from beginning to end. There was a small part where we skipped a few months and I would loved to see what happened with Westlyn and Kieran then, but that’s truly my only gripe about this book.

If you love a great love stoy with an amazing HEA, this is the book for you!!

Excerpt

Kieran
Hendry makes me feel like a woman. A desired woman. His words, the way he looks
at me, his body language. Everything he does is a huge turn-on. Yet I hate this
man. Loathe him. But damn, he has a way of touching me that makes me forget
every logical thought in my head. It doesn’t make sense to me how I can despise
him and at the same time respond so strongly to his touch.

It’s
my body reacting to him, not my head. It must be hormones and sex drive. Those
two things combined have the power to make people do things they wouldn’t
normally do.

“You’re
trembling.” He grazes the back of his fingers down my cheek and my stomach does
some kind of flip. “Do I frighten you?”

I
look away because I can’t tell him that it isn’t fear giving me the trembles.

He
grasps my chin and forces me to look at him. “Do. I. Frighten. You?”

“No.”

He
rubs my bottom lip with his thumb. “Then what is it?”

I
shake my head.

He
leans in for another kiss but stops before his lips touch mine. We’re so close
I can feel his breath on my mouth. Just like last night when my body turned to
mush.

I’m
quivering and my breath has become more rapid. I may even be a little
lightheaded.

His
bottom lip grazes mine, but he still doesn’t kiss me. “I’ll back off right now
if it’s what you want.”

I
don’t want him to back off. I also don’t want him to know that I don’t want him
to back off. Feels too much like giving in to something I’m not supposed to
crave.

“I’m
going to kiss you.”

I’m
his captive. We made an agreement. I must submit without a fight per our deal
to maintain Ellison’s safety.

Yeah. Keep telling yourself that,
Wes. Maybe if you say it enough, you’ll start to believe it.

His
fingers lace through my hair and he holds me prisoner when he lowers his mouth
to mine. I open, giving his tongue an invitation to come inside. The two meet,
and together they become erotic dance partners with Kieran taking the lead.

I’ve
only had one very forgettable kiss in my life. But this kiss… I could live a
million years and never forget it or the way I feel right now.

He
stops, his lips hovering over mine. His breath warm against my skin. “More or
stop? Your decision.”

He’s
asking me to venture further with him. My body says yes, but my head tells me
that one more step will take me to a place I shouldn’t go with this man. I’m
twenty-three and being kissed for the second time in my life. I don’t want this
to stop. “More.”

Ruthless King by Meghan March…Blog Tour & Review

by Courtney

Get ready for the darker and dirtier side of New Orleans with a brand new alpha romance from USA Today bestselling author Meghan March.

New Orleans belongs to me.
You don’t know my name, but I control everything you see—and all the things you don’t.
My reach knows no bounds, and my demands are always met.
I didn’t need to loan money to a failing family distillery, but it amuses me to have them in my debt.
To have her in my debt.
She doesn’t know she caught my attention.
She should’ve been more careful.
I’m going to own her. Consume her. Maybe even keep her.
It’s time to collect what I’m owed.
Keira Kilgore, you’re now the property of Lachlan Mount.

*Ruthless King is book one of the Mount Trilogy*

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!!

Meghan March has been known to wear camo face paint and tromp around in woods wearing mud-covered boots, all while sporting a perfect manicure. She’s also impulsive, easily entertained, and absolutely unapologetic about the fact that she loves to read and write smut. Her past lives include slinging auto parts, selling lingerie, making custom jewelry, and practicing corporate law. Writing books about dirty talking alpha males and the strong, sassy women who bring them to their knees is by far the most fabulous job she’s ever had. She loves hearing from her readers at meghanmarchbooks@gmail.com.

His quiet strength is wearing down her defenses and his gentle patience is causing her to question everything she thought she knew.

Only love can mend a shattered heart . . .

Crystal and Gabriel never imagined that the world, which had stolen everything from them, would bring them a deep love like this. Except fate will only take them so far, and now the choice is theirs: Harden their hearts once again or find the courage to shed their painful pasts.

“Gabriel, a boy who hadn’t let himself forget what love felt like, and me, a girl who had made sure I did not remember.”

Mia is known for her gut wrenching and beautiful stories that sink deep your into bones. This is the first book that I am able to experience this first hand. Yes, this is the first Mia Sheridan book I have read. Yes, I know who she is and all the excitement and rave reviews of her books, I have just never had the opportunity to read one. And damnit, I am so mad as myself that I waited til now to read her. So if you are an imbecile like me, I beg you to read this book (or any of her others) because yea, the reviews are dead-on perfect.

Ok – back to the book.

Most of All You is very intense and emotional story. It’s a tale of two broken people, broken in two different ways who need mending in ways then never thought.

Gabriel (Gabe) went through a horrific ordeal during his adolescent years that caused him to have issues with connecting to people. Through time, he was able to heal and move on and come to the point that he was ready for more than just communication to others, he wanted to be able to touch others without having a panic attack.

Eloise (Ellie/Crystal) has hardened and guarded her life from everyone since childhood. Her consistently abused by anyone around her and had an ugly idea of what love was. She had a very jaded look on life; she believe that her life was the way it was suppose to be.

I could see (yes, see) how tender, sweet and loving Gabe was from the very beginning. For someone who should have given up on love so long ago, he held on to what he knew and infused that into Ellie.

Ellie was a tough cookie to crack. She would slowly let Gabe in and then close right back up and shut down without any explanation. She had a hard time figuring out to move forward. And she knew she had to do it alone.

“You can’t fix me, you know.”

“No, I can only love you.”

Gabe and Ellie may have both had rough childhoods, but they couldn’t have been more different when it came to healing. One knew what true love was and the other believe she was never destined to have that kind of love – her love was always taken away.

I want to say so much more about this book, but feel that I have given too much away already and I have only given you snippets of their stories. This story is so unique and so beautifully written that it captivates you start to finish. While it was a bit slow in the beginning for me, after about the 35% mark, I was totally vested in this story and nothing was stopping me from reading it.

Please just go read this book. It’s a journey you won’t soon forget.

From This Moment by Melanie Harlow…Blog Tour Stop with Review

by Jilly

From This Moment, an all-new sexy and emotional standalone from USA Today Bestselling author Melanie Harlow is available NOW!

From This Moment by Melanie Harlow

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publishing Date: October 10th, 2017

It was like seeing a ghost.

When my late husband’s twin brother moves back to our small town, I want to avoid him. Everything about Wes reminds me of the man I lost and the life we’d planned together, and after eighteen long months struggling just to get out of bed, I’m finally doing okay. I have a new job, an amazing support group, and a beautiful five-year-old daughter to parent. I don’t want to go backward.

But I’m drawn to him, too. He understands my grief and anger and guilt like no one else—and I understand his. Before long, that understanding becomes desire, and that desire becomes uncontrollable.

He says he doesn’t care what people think, and love can never be wrong. But life has taught me its cruelest lesson–love doesn’t always win.

If only my heart would believe it.

My Review:

Ok, after reading this book I have come to a very serious conclusion….I haven’t read nearly enough books by Melanie Harlow. Good God, this book was SO INCREDIBLE! It’s hard not to sit at this computer and reminisce wistfully while writing this review. But alas, I must snap out of it and write this because you all NEED to know how much I adored this book.

You can pretty much get the gist of the story from the synopsis so instead of repeating it, I’ll get to the good stuff…

Oh, these characters. THESE CHARACTERS! My heart was broken for both of them. Abby lost her husband. Wes lost his twin brother. Both are equally crushing and unimaginable. Both had my chest physically aching as we experienced the loss through two very different perspectives. Different perspectives but debilitating all the same. It’s that loss, though, that really brings these two together. Or should I say back together. The history Abby and Wes share added a whole other layer of chest aching when I was reading. Their history involves loving from afar and wanting what you can’t have. Putting someone ahead of yourself and waiting for your own chance at a happy ever after, knowing you probably won’t ever get one. Have I mentioned my heart broke for these two? They’re in this seemingly impossible situation with so many messy emotions and tenuous relationships. Both just really wanting to find some sort of happy in this new reality. Both wanting it to be together. I’m sure you can imagine their road is a rough one, and I won’t tell you it isn’t but I will tell you it is so worth it. Goodness, these two!

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll believe in second chances and I know you’ll love every second of this book.

Thank you, Ms. Harlow, for a beautiful read!

Five Loves

Excerpt:

“Want to go out in the canoe?” he asked.

“Okay.” I ditched my flip-flops on the small, beach-level deck, and we set our wine glasses and the bottle on the deck’s little round table. Wes was already barefoot. Together we dragged the forest green canoe from the tall beach grasses on the side of the deck down to the water’s edge and tipped it over.

“Let me rinse it out a little,” Wes said, frowning at the dirt and spider webs inside. “Want to grab the paddles? They should be in the shed.”

“On it.” I went to the small shed on the embankment, opened it up and grabbed the oars, which stood in one corner. On the shelves were life jackets and sand toys and deflated rafts that probably had holes in them, and scratched into the wooden door among other graffiti was WP + CB. Huh. I’d never noticed that before. Who was CB? I glanced over my shoulder at Wes, who’d taken off his T-shirt and tossed it onto the sand.

My stomach full-out flipped.

Quickly, I shut the door to the shed and brought the oars down to the canoe.

Wes stood up straight and stuck his hands on his hips. He wore different sunglasses than Drew had worn, more of an aviator than a wayfarer. The body was similar, though Wes’s arms seemed more muscular, especially through the shoulder. Other things were the same and caused a rippling low in my body—the soft maroon color of his nipples, the trim waist, the trail of hair leading from his belly button to beneath the low-sling waistband of his red swim trunks. In my head I heard Tess’s voice. Arms. Chest. Shoulders. Skin. Stubble. Muscle. The smell of a man. The solidity of him.

“What’s the law on drinking and canoeing?” he asked.

What’s the law on staring at your brother-in-law’s nipples? I wondered, swallowing hard. What was wrong with me?

“I think we’re okay,” I said, handing the oars to him. Our hands touched in the exchange. “Let me grab our glasses.”

“Perfect. If you hold them, I’ll take us out.”

I retrieved the wine glasses from the table and walked carefully across the sand to the lake’s edge, taking deep, slow breaths. A sweat had broken out across my back. I was wearing a swimsuit beneath my cover up, a modest tankini, but I didn’t want to remove it. Wading ankle deep, I attempted to step into the canoe, but it wobbled beneath my foot.

“Whoa.” Wes took me by the elbow and didn’t let go until I was seated at one end, facing the other. “Okay?”

I nodded. Despite the heat, my arms had broken out in goose flesh.

“All right, here we go.” As he rowed us away from shore, the breeze picked up, cooling my face and chest and back.

“Drew and I used to have canoe-tipping contests.”

I snapped my chin down and skewered Wes with a look over the top of my sunglasses. “Don’t even think about it.”

He just grinned, the muscles in his arms and chest and stomach flexing with every stroke of the oars through the water. Momentarily mesmerized, I allowed myself the pleasure of watching him. It was okay if we were both thinking about Drew, wasn’t it?

In fact, it was only natural that I was intrigued by the sight of Wes’s body. He was my husband’s identical twin, for heaven’s sake, and I missed his physical presence in my life. I missed looking at him naked. I missed feeling the weight of him above me. I missed the feeling of being aroused by him, of my body’s responses to his touch, his kiss, his cock.

Deep in my body, the rusty mechanism of arousal creaked to life. My nipples peaked, my stomach hollowed, and something fluttered between my legs.

Oh, Jesus.

I sat up straighter, pressed my knees together, and closed my mouth, which I realized had fallen open. Hopefully I hadn’t moaned or anything. After another sip of wine, I turned my head and studied a freighter off in the distance. My heart was beating way too fast.

It’s only natural. It’s only natural.

Wes stopped paddling and set the oars in the bottom of the canoe, their handles resting against the seat in the middle. “We’ll have to bring Abby out here.”

“Definitely.” Did my voice sound normal? “She’ll love it. Here, want this?” I held his wine glass toward him and he reached out to take it. His fingers brushed mine, and I pulled my hand back as if the touch had burned me.

“Thanks.” He tipped the glass up then looked along the shore. “I’d like to find a place on the lake. Maybe not along this stretch of beach, though.”

I caught his meaning and smiled. “A little too close to home?”

“Yeah. But I don’t want to be too far away. I’d like to get a boat too.”

“What kind of boat? Drew always talked about it, but we never quite settled on one.”

“Not sure. Maybe just a little fishing boat, something to ski behind.”

“That sounds fun. Drew loved to ski.”

“We’ll have to teach Abby.”

I laughed. “You, not we. I managed to get up and stay up a few times, but I am not the expert.”

“You can teach her to cook, I’ll teach her to water ski.”

“Deal.” Separate activities seemed like a good idea.

“Breakfast was incredible.”

“Thanks.” I tucked a strand of hair that had escaped my ponytail behind my ear, but the wind blew it right back into my face. “I really like working there. I’m so glad Georgia suggested it to me.”

“How long have you been there?”

“Since spring, when they got busy. I’m not sure what I’ll do this winter when it slows down. I’m dreading it, actually. Abby will be in school full time, and it will just be me at home alone.” This was something else I hadn’t talked about with anyone, how worried I was that the gray skies and cold weather and silent hours would set me spiraling into depression. “I always thought I’d have another baby to take care of, but life saw things differently.”

“You’re still young, Hannah.”

I shook my head. “I’m really not. And I feel even older than I am.” Please don’t go Grief Police on me and tell me I’m being ridiculous, I begged him silently. This isn’t the life I chose. It was handed to me and I’m doing the best I can.

But he didn’t say anything more, just sipped his wine and looked out at the horizon. I was grateful.

“What about you?” I asked. “Think maybe you’ll get married now that you’re back? Have a family? Abby won’t have any siblings so she needs some cousins.”

“That seems to be a popular topic of discussion around here,” Wes said, shaking his head, “but I really have no idea.”

“Small town. We like to know everyone’s business.” I smiled. “Hey, what about CB? I saw your initials carved with hers on the door of the shed. Maybe she’s still around.”

He groaned. “Is that still there? Jesus. That had to be twenty years ago.”

Hugging my knees, I leaned forward. “First love?”

“Not even.” He hesitated, as if he were trying to decide whether to confess something.

“Come on,” I cajoled, carefully reaching out of the canoe, and splashing water toward him. “Tell me. I’ve been spilling my guts for an hour.”

“First kiss.”

I squealed. “And?”

He cringed. “It’s too embarrassing.”

“Wes, I had a completely humiliating breakdown in front of you last night. I got snot on my arm.”

“This is worse.”

“Get it out. You’ll feel better.”

“Let’s just say it was a very awkward, very fast experience.”

I gasped. “You lost your virginity to her?”

“No. Just my dignity.”

Laughing, I tilted my head back and felt the sun on my face, the wind in my hair, and something like joy in my heart.

It had been a long time.

Dubious by Charmaine Pauls….Blog Tour & Review

by Courtney

Title: Dubious (The Loan Shark Duet, #1)

Author: Charmaine Pauls

Genre: Dark Romance

Release Date: October 10, 2017

Synopsis

Repulsiveness personified, that’s me. I own a mirror, and I’m not afraid to look in it. What you see on the surface is a reflection of what runs under my skin. I’m a loan shark. Breaking people is in my blood. The Haynes’s were supposed to be a straightforward job. Go in and pull the trigger twice. One bullet for Charlie, one for his sister. But when I saw Valentina, I wanted her. Only, in our world, those who owe us don’t get second chances. No way in hell will my mother let her live. So I devised a plan to keep her.

It’s depraved.
It’s immoral.
It’s dubious.

It’s perfect.
Just like her.

(DUBIOUS is the first full-length novel in a two-part duet and ends on a cliffhanger. The second book, CONSENT, will be available on 14 November 2017. This is a dark romance with a criminal anti-hero and forced seduction. Reader discretion is advised.)

Excerpt

The table goes quiet, but not because of my outburst. The men’s heads are turned toward the landing on the upper floor. When I follow their gazes, I can’t miss the man who stands under the light, his hands gripping the rail. He wears a dark suit, like the Portuguese, but he’s anything but a generalization. He’s nothing short of a monster.

His body is muscular. Too big. There’s not enough space in the room for him. He drowns everything in power and dominance. He’s not young, but he isn’t old, either. Rather than defining his age, his years give him the distinguished edge of men with experience. Thick, black hair falls messily over his forehead, the wisps brushing his ears. His features are rogue, wild, and uncompromising. The lines running from his nose to his mouth are deeply etched. They’re the kind of lines men with hard, rough lives wear. A ghastly network of scars runs from his left eyebrow to his cheek. Under the disfigured patchwork, his complexion is tanned. The ruggedness of his skin gives the impression of being marred by bullets. A short-trimmed beard and moustache cover some of his imperfections, but the damage is too vast to hide. It’s a face you don’t want to see in the dark and definitely not in your dreams. It’s a face that stares straight at me.

Heat of the scary kind crawls over my skin. When I look into his eyes, it’s as if a bucket of ice is emptied down my shirt. An unwelcome shiver contracts my skin, and my fear turns from hot to cold. His irises are blue like the far-off glaziers I’ve only seen in pictures. Everything about him seems foreign. Out of place. Dangerous. He’s the kind of bad that’s even out of Napoli’s league.

Fan for life!!!

Charmaine Pauls knows exactly how to pull her readers in and rock their world!

This book is a little different from the other books that I’ve read from Ms. Pauls, but that is in NO way a bad thing. I enjoyed this book just as much as her previous works.

I loved the fucked-upness of the relationship between Gabriel and Valentina. I love that, though Valentia is young and inexperienced, she is a very strong-willed woman. I love that as hot as Gabriel is, he is not without scars.

The sex scenes are HOTTT. SO SO SO good.

It is a cliffhanger, but the second book in the duo, Consent, will be releasing in November!

Midnight Unleashed by Lara Adrian….ARC Review

by Jilly

Midnight Unleashed releases tomorrow!

Synopsis:

Return to New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Lara Adrian’s “addictively readable” (Chicago Tribune) Midnight Breed vampire romance series with a pulse-pounding novella of paranormal seduction and dangerous thrills, where an icy immortal beauty and a lethal Gen One Hunter must confront a powerful enemy while struggling to deny the irresistible calling of their blood.

My Review:

Midnight Unleashed is part of author Lara Adrian’s Midnight Breed series (swoon) and is novella number 17 in the 2017 1,001 Dark Nights lineup. Being a huge fan of Ms. Adrian’s work, I was so excited for this release and I’ve gotta say, once again I am totally smitten with these Breed characters!

These two characters were so so so amazing! Sia is an Atlantean and must lean a new life in the human realm after being exiled from her home after quite a devistating incident. Trygg is a Gen One vampire and serving the Order after a heartbreaking past and lives his life as a protector. Their paths had crossed in the past and they never thought they’d see each other again…until fate brought them back together. And when they do reunite? LET THE SPARKS FLY!

Between the sexual tension, the danger, the push and pull of emotion, I was glued to every word on every page! I loved Trygg when he was trying to push Sia away. When he was trying to convince her he was a warrior an incapable to give her what she needs. I loved Sia when she was determined to convince Trygg he was so much more than just a warrior. That he was exactly what he needed. Few authors can deliver strong yet vulnerable heroes and the strong heroines who love them like Lara Adrian! This story is totally swoon-worthy and deliciously engrossing!

Whether you’re already a Lara Adrain fan or this novella it’s your first taste, I know you will love this story as much as I did! Thank you, Ms. Adrian, for another phenomenal read!

Cover Model: Drew Leighty

Photographer: Travis Lane

Teasers: @bellelovebooks

Amazon — iBooks

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?

Add to Goodreads TBR

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.
