Synopsis:

A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE FILLED WITH DARK DESIRES AND DANGEROUS SECRETS…

Emily Wayborn has made a decision.

She might not fully trust handsome and deadly Reeve Sallis, but he is the one person that gives her what she needs. With Reeve she can finally be herself. Submitting to him is the only thing keeping her grounded as the rest of her life falls apart. But the hotelier is a master at keeping secrets and as she continues her quest for answers someone is making sure she doesn’t find them.

Time is running out and she is questioning everything she thought she knew about friendship and love. She must now make an impossible choice that will determine if she will survive with her heart…or at all.

Excerpt:

What he really wanted to hear were the other words, the words I couldn’t give. He’d danced around it, too, though. He’d suggested he loved me, but he’d never told me outright. Those words stood so prominently that they’d become a barrier between us. Either they’d been a lie, a cruel response to my scheming, or they’d been truthful—a possible doorway leading to something else. Something more.

Damn, how I wanted the more. Wanted it enough to brave broaching the subject. “You said things the other night, Reeve—”

He jumped in, turning his head to meet my eyes straight on. “I meant them.”

“Oh.”

Oh.

There was so much to say in response and yet nothing at all came to mind. And as wary as I was to fully trust him, I believed him. Many men had proclaimed their love for me—usually when I had my mouth around their dick—but it had never been sincere. The plethora of false variations had been enough to teach me that this version was the real thing.

But Reeve had said he’d loved Amber that night as well. And I believed that too.

“I want you sleeping in my bed, Emily.”

Or perhaps I was wrong about everything, and his devotion was tied up in sex like all the other men I’d known.

I considered retorting back something sassy about not always being able to get what you want. But I wasn’t quite sure that was an adage that Reeve understood. Besides, I wanted to be sleeping in his bed as well, and maybe I would be eventually. If it was really where he wanted me. If I was really the one he wanted there.

I knew I should just ask—how do you feel about Amber now? What happens next between us? It was on the tip of my tongue, the questions preformed in my mouth when I decided to swallow them instead. Because I wasn’t sure I was ready to hear those answers—whatever they may be—and, in this moment, at least, I was what he desired. And maybe it was just an excuse to not have to think about her for a minute, to not worry about feeling guilty or like I’d betrayed her. As long as I didn’t know, I could blame my behavior on ignorance, and I could please him too.

The swing rocked as I shifted to my knees. Ignoring the chill of the seat against my bare shins, I leaned forward and unfastened Reeve’s jeans.

“This isn’t my bed,” he said, not moving to either help me or stop me.

“It’s the best I can do right now.”

He’d gone commando, a sign that he’d likely tried to sleep as well, then had thrown his clothing on when he found the effort futile. I rubbed my hands together, heating them with friction before I reached in for his cock.

Just as I lowered my lips to his tip, he said, “That ‘right now’ insinuates that there will be a time that you can do more.”

I didn’t want to answer, afraid of giving too much of myself away. Afraid that he wouldn’t like my reasons for not being with him fully or that he’d try to talk me out of worrying about Amber’s place in all of this.

So I occupied my mouth in other ways that prevented talking.

For 100 Days Synopsis:

Pleasure has a price . . .

Just when everything in my life is falling apart, I find a chance to turn it around–to step into someone else’s glittering world, if only for a little while. I become someone new, no longer the woman defined by an ugly past, but a woman freer and bolder than myself. A woman who isn’t afraid to explore every passion, even at its darkest, with a mysterious and seductive man who believes my mask is real. 

Handsome and commanding, enigmatic and irresistible, billionaire Dominic Baine is an obsession I cannot afford and should not risk. He ushers me into consuming new pleasures and addicting new desires, until the line between my real life and the fantasy one I’ve stolen with him begins to blur.

I know I cannot keep my truth from him. I know my past will not stay buried forever. But before I can make it right, everything comes crashing down. I have deceived this powerful, dangerous man . . . and now there is a price to be paid.

 FOR 100 DAYS is the first novel in a passionate new contemporary romance trilogy from New York Times and #1 international bestselling author Lara Adrian. Coming soon: FOR 100 NIGHTS and FOR 100 REASONS.

My Review:

For 100 Days is the first in a new trilogy from author Lara Adrian and being a reader who devours anything Ms. Adrian writes, I was so excited for this series. Holy moly, this book was scorching, sexy, emotional, so many things…and I loved it!

I know you’re probably thinking that this is another ‘billionaire finds the girl from the other side of the tracks and sweeps her off her feet’ romance, but I’m here to tell you that while, yes, that is one aspect of this book, there is just so much more to this story and it’s fantastic.  Ms. Adrian pours so much into these two characters, it’s easy to fall in love with their story from the very first page.  I love the layers both Dominic and Avery have within their personality.  Sure, they’re from different stations in life but oh my, are they ever so perfect together! It makes no difference that she is a struggling artist working as a waitress and he is an uber white-collar businessman, the chemistry and heat between them is OFF THE CHARTS! I also loved how fate really had a way in how these two met and how they got together.  While this is fiction, I know we can all think of a few times things happened for the better just because we were at the right place at the right time.

The mystery surrounding both Dominic and Avery and both of their pasts is also done brilliantly.  Where we are able to find out more about Avery’s past by the end of this book, we are still left wondering about Dominic and I love that.  We got our appetizer and the next book will be the main course.  I adore having more to look forward to from these two fantastic characters!

I have no doubt all romance fans I have no doubt will fall in love with For 100 Days.  I know I sure did!  Thank you, Ms. Adrian, for this amazing story!

Everywhere and Every Way

BLURB:

Hot on the heels of her beloved Marriage to a Billionaire novels, New York Times bestselling author Jennifer Probst nails it with the first in an all-new sexy romance series featuring red-hot contractor siblings who give the Property Brothers a run for their money!

Ever the responsible eldest brother, Caleb Pierce started working for his father’s luxury contracting business at a young age, dreaming of one day sitting in the boss’s chair. But his father’s will throws a wrench in his plans by stipulating that Caleb share control of the family business with his two estranged brothers.

Things only get more complicated when demanding high-end home designer Morgan hires Caleb to build her a customized dream house that matches her specifications to a T—or she’ll use her powerful connections to poison the Pierce brothers’ reputation. Not one to ignore a challenge, Caleb vows to get the job done—if only he can stop getting distracted by his new client’s perfect…amenities.

But there’s more to icy Morgan than meets the eye. And Caleb’s not the only one who knows how to use a stud-finder. In fact, Morgan is pretty sure she’s found hers—and he looks quite enticing in a hard hat. As sparks fly between Morgan and Caleb despite his best intentions not to mix business and pleasure, will she finally warm up and help him lay the foundation for everlasting love?

My Review:

Everywhere and Every Way is the first in a new series from author Jennifer Probst and being a huge fan of Ms. Probst, I am always excited for a new book and especially a new series.  It’s safe to say that this is gearing up to be another fave series of mine because after this first installment, I am hooked!
Oh, boy, this book is not only packed with plenty of heat and deliciously building heat between the two main characters, Cal and Morgan, but also with tons of family business drama.  Being married to a third generation family business owner and all of the dynamics that come along with it, I can tell you that Ms. Probst freaking nailed that aspect of things.  There are always plenty of opinions and different views on any type of decision, especially when the people making the decisions are men! All those healthy egos tend to get in the way and I loved each brother’s differences as well as their common bond with wanting to keep the family business around…even if they all don’t want to admit it at first. These brothers are all amazing and I cannot wait to read each of their stories as the series progresses.
Getting back to Cal and Morgan…oh, how I loved these two together. From their very first meeting and the humor that went along with it, they were spectacular.  Opposite in many ways but similar in so many more.  Both having been hurt in past serious relationships and both having their own personal battles they are overcoming really touched me and I was pulling for these two to get their happy ever after.  Of course, being the amazing ending writer that Ms. Probst is, I can assure you it was everything I could have hoped for and more!  Man, every ending this author writes is totally movie worthy! The whole book is movie worthy!
From start to finish, with Ms. Probst’s talent in delivering wonderfully multi-faceted characters and a story line that captivates with each page, I know this is going to be a favorite of all romance fans! Thank you, Ms. Probst, for yet another series I have already fallen in love with!

review

Well, Nazarea, N to most everyone, has knocked another out of the park for me!!  And it was nothing like I expected.

DSS is very much a suspenseful and thrilling romance.  But what drove this book was the suspense and learning all about these characters – not just the main characters, but the secondary ones as well.

“The brutality we saw this week.  It was one family’s secrets and rage.  I wonder if that will be the end of it.  But I know, it’s not.  Because secrets.  They’re everywhere. And they’ll come to light.”

I truly don’t even know where to start explaining great this book is and not give any important details away.  N writes a very intertwined and secretive thrilling mystery.  The book is told from Hazel and Archer’s POV.  They have their own secrets together.  But it’s when the secrets of others come to light, that they start hiding things from another.  They also realize, they’ve been in the dark on other things because they chose to not see what was really right in front of them.

I absolutely loved all the twists, turns, secrets revealed, and how everything is truly tied together.  N truly crept me out with Michael, John and Hannah – like goosebumps all over.  As I was reading this whole book, I could visual everything and everyone.  Like a damn series on TV and I couldn’t stop watching it all play out before.  I had to know the who, why, what.

“Three killers, two cops and a journalist walk into a bar.  Sounds like a bad joke, right?  It’s not.  It’s the end – dear God I hope it’s the end – of the worst day of my life.  I just hope we walk out alive.”

And don’t get my wrong.  The romance was there in this book, it just didn’t play a very huge part of the plot.  And I think N wrote the romance part perfectly – it was just right added touch needed to this book – to bring it all together.

I am looking forward to what N brings us next!
