savoryou_resize

In the next sizzling romance in Kristen Proby’s New York Times bestselling Fusion series, two celebrity chefs compete in a culinary competition, but resisting each other will prove to be the greater challenge.

Cooking isn’t what Mia Palazzo does, it’s who she is. Food is her passion . . . her pride . . . her true love. She’s built a stellar menu full of delicious and sexy meals for her restaurant, Seduction. Now, after being open for only a few short years, Mia’s restaurant is being featured on Best Bites TV. To say Seduction is a wild success is an understatement. All the blood, sweat, tears, and endless hours of work Mia has put into the restaurant has finally paid off.

Then Camden Sawyer, the biggest mistake of her life, walks into her kitchen . . .

Camden’s celebrity chef status is world-renowned. He’s the best there is, and the kitchen is where he’s most at home. He can’t resist the invitation to Portland for a showdown against Mia for a new television show. Mia was in his life years ago, and just like before, he’s met his match in the beautiful Italian spitfire. The way she commands the kitchen is mesmerizing, and her recipes are clever and delicious. He’s never had qualms about competition, and this is no different. He can’t wait to go head to head with Mia. But can he convince her the chemistry theyshare in the kitchen would be just as great in the bedroom as well?

As Mia and Camden face off, neither realizes how high the stakes are as their reputations are put on the line and their hearts are put to the ultimate test.

Meet Kristen:

Kristen was born and raised in a small resort town in her beloved Montana. In her mid-twenties, she decided to stretch her wings and move to the Pacific Northwest, where she made her home for more than a dozen years.

During that time, Kristen wrote many romance novels and joined organizations such as RWA and other small writing groups. She spent countless hours in workshops, and more mornings than she can count up before the dawn so she could write before going to work. She submitted many manuscripts to agents and editors alike, but was always told no. In the summer of 2012, the self-publishing scene was new and thriving, and Kristen had one goal: to publish just one book. It was something she longed to cross off of her bucket list.

Not only did she publish one book, she’s since published close to thirty titles, many of which have hit the USA Today, New York Times and Wall Street Journal Bestsellers lists. She continues to self publish, best known for her With Me In Seattle and Boudreaux series, and is also proud to work with William Morrow, a division of HarperCollins, with the Fusion Series.

Kristen and her husband, John, make their home in her hometown of Whitefish, Montana with their two pugs and two cats.

Release Day Blitz….Fidelity World

 

FOR MORE INFORMATION JOIN THE GROUP HERE

 

Retribution – Andrea Bills

Cole spent his entire adult life gaining power to see through his plans of revenge. He never wavered from his goal until Annie. Her piercing blue eyes and smart mouth tempted him with a life he didn’t think possible.

Annie had her own past— her own plot for revenge. Hellbent on taking down the coward who had ripped her hopes and dreams away from her, she would stop at nothing to see it through. The only catch: she needed Cole’s name and the protection it offered.

She didn’t plan on craving Cole’s touch or loving the way he tormented her with stolen kisses and whispered promises.

What started off as a one-year contract, ended up a fury of passion and life changing decisions that neither of them expected.

Was Cole’s focus on the past keeping him from the life he deserved?

Did Annie really lose her dream, or had she just been chasing the wrong one?

Would they lose each other in their desire to get retribution?

 

 

Shakedown – Jen Talty

All California “Cali” Banister wanted to do was pay off to the man who held her parent’s business hostage. What he’d done had been nothing shy of a good old-fashioned shakedown, preying on a trusting, older couple, and now, if they wanted to have control of the family business, they had to pay two-hundred thousand dollars by the end of the year.

No way would Cali let that happen. She’d do anything, including going to work for the private Infidelity club. She figures a rich man, who wants a woman to drape on his arm for show, might lavish her with gifts she can sell and cash she could save.

Her first night in the club, she meets a sexy young millionaire named Xavier Williams and she thinks she’s hit pay dirt. Only Xavier isn’t exactly who he says he is.

William “Xavier” Sumner will do anything to for a story. Anything. And he thinks there is a story to be had inside the exclusive and elusive Infidelity club. Posing as a millionaire is the easy part. But picking the right woman to interview for his story, proves to be more difficult than he anticipated… until he meets Cali.

Sparks fly from the first second and Xavier thinks by this time next year, every network will want his investigative skills.

Only his betrayal and her deception could cost them everything they wanted…and put their lives in an inescapable deadly situation.

 

 

Scorched – Casey Hagen

Beatrice Addington slid into a seductive night with a man who lured her with his confidence, hooked her by bringing her sexual fantasies to life, and using cunning, turned tables on her by sucking her into his plot for revenge against her father. One night of unbridled passion costs her a lifetime’s piece of mind leaving her trapped between a familiar, staid past and an unpredictable, treacherous future. With the truth of her father’s betrayal revealed, Beatrice must decide where her loyalties lie and how far she’s willing to go to get what she wants.
And she wants Micah Alessi.
Micah Alessi couldn’t have conjured a more fitting weapon for his revenge against Wallace Addington than the man’s own daughter, Beatrice. When one night of mind-blowing sexual exploration creates feelings anchored deep in his heart, Micah will do anything to keep Beatrice ensnared in his web of erotic discovery. After gambling on a hunch and setting Beatrice up to see the truth about her father, he hunts for ways to keep her bound to him long enough to become the one thing she can’t live without. What better way than setting her up with Infidelity and signing a yearlong contract binding her to him?
With the deal made, Micah follows the path to revenge, bringing Beatrice along for the ride. But can Beatrice shun her family and accept who she’s at risk to become while by his side? Can she survive being bound to a man seething with hate that poisons the people he cares about most? And can Micah accept that by possessing Beatrice, he might taint her, destroy her heart, leaving her a shell of the woman he loves?

 

 

Liar – LeTeisha Newton

Everyone tells lies … I just tell them better than most.

Elliot Wilmington came from the gutter, kicked dirt and teeth in with equal measure, and found a life surviving by his wits alone. Taken at birth for ransom never paid, his entire life had been a lie.

He’d find a way to take what belonged to him, and when the dust settled, he’d be the one holding the gun. But first, he’d start by gaining entrance to Infidelity and making sure they took notice.

Everyone tells lies … I’ve learned to trust nothing.

Upon her mother’s death, Ilaria Paolo receives the key to one man’s future in a safety deposit box, and by bringing him his fortune, she’d secure hers. Lost, alone, and facing life on the streets, a chance encounter with a cobalt-eyed devil ushers her into the arms of Infidelity.

It’s a risky move, but she has nothing left, and until she understands what is in the locked box, she has no choice but to survive. Her companion is a liar, her past a fabricated tale, and Ilaria is bound to possible destruction.

Or the worse lie of all … love.

 

 

Exfiltration – Jillian Anselmi

Case File: C-1999-21369 Suspect: Atiyah Abd al-Rahman Mission: Bring home the president’s daughter.

Time is ticking. The enemy is near. Lives are on the line.

CIA Agent Deloris Witt, do you accept?

Kimberly Ryan is in Afghanistan helping injured civilians trapped in the middle of the war. The only problem? The president has given the order to bomb Osama bin Laden’s alleged second in command, and his philanthropist daughter is in danger.

The details of the job: save Kimberly before the bomb is detonated.

Abduction. Terrorism. Imminent Threat.

Challenge accepted.

 

Invictus by Kylie Hillman

Having your entire life mapped out for you from birth has its perks, but it also comes with serious drawbacks.

For Ida Montoya, escaping her predetermined destiny means leaving behind everything she’s ever known and making her own way in the world. No more easy money. No motherly hugs to soothe her hurt. No soft place to fall when she messes it all up.

Felix Von Sonderberg—Crown Prince of a country he wishes he could change, son to a father he despises, future husband to a woman he’s never met—yearns to experience life out from under the shadow of his family name. For him, the offer of one year to do as he pleases, in a country where nobody knows him, seems like the perfect salve to his scarred soul.

Employing the services of a beautiful young woman to pander to his every whim during his year of freedom should be the perfect plan. All the fun with no strings to cut when the time comes to leave.

What could possibly go wrong?

Ony everything. Ida might become the one thing he’s not willing to give up, in order to have the heavy crown has belonged to him since birth, finally placed upon his head.

Note from the Author:

Felix Von Sonderberg will also appear in the brand-new spin-off series to the bestselling Centrifuge Duet, Full Circle Security Inc. Be the first to meet Felix and taste the sinfully seductive world of the FCS Inc. alphas before the series launches at the end of 2018.

 

UNWILLING by LK Collins

There are three things in life that matter to Westin Smith.

Money.

Sex.

And his company.

At least that was the case before Sasha Monroe charged into his life with her long legs and smart-as-hell mouth. Since the moment he laid eyes on her, she’s consumed him, making the three things he cares about . . . wash away.

From the moment Sasha meets Westin on a flight to The Infidelity Corporation, she can tell he is every woman’s greatest desire and worst nightmare wrapped up in a finely tailored six-piece suit. Yes, she might find herself daydreaming about him, but those fantasies are all wrong and will never come true. She’s on this trip for business, and that’s it.

Besides, she’ll never see him again.

Or so that’s what she thought.

A twist of events puts the two closer than ever.

Forced to align with Westin, does she have the power to say no to him?

 

 

 

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as “Charli,” she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined. With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

“Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox “Nox” Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

“Is it really cheating if you’re doing it to yourself?”

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists, turns, deceptions, and devotions, this new epic dark romance will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next. Have you been Aleatha’d?

When Stars Burn Out by Carrie Aarons…Release Day Blitz & Review

 

Title: When Stars Burn Out
Author: Carrie Aarons
Genre: Contemporary Adult
Release Date: April 22, 2018
Blurb
Stars die in one of two ways.So slowly that each layer burning out feels like agony … or suddenly, exploding
into a million pieces before the universe even has a grasp of what is happening.

When Paxton Shaw left Demi Rosen without so much as a goodbye, he stole her
shine in both manners.

Now, eight years later, he’s trying to pull her back into his orbit. The
nation’s most beloved football player, a tight end with a seriously tight end,
has finally realized Demi is the one who got away.

But she’s a different woman than the weak girl who used to come running
whenever he called in the middle of the night. Strong, successful, her life’s
mission being to grant the wishes of children whose flames have all but been
extinguished.

And untouchable, as dark and cold as a midnight sky with no moon in sight.

When one special child forces their star-crossed paths to collide, it’s
impossible to keep the feelings of their past buried. Paxton had been her
Halley’s Comet; the once in a lifetime love that scorched Demi’s heart in the
most spectacular of fashions.

She promised herself she would never make that mistake again. But, how can she
forget the dreams of love she once had, when Paxton wants to make them come
true?

I never read anything by Carrie til earlier this year and she is quickly becoming one of my one-click authors for sweet and sexy reads.

When I read the blurb for this one, there was no doubt in my mind that I had to read this one. And Carrie did not let me down.

“Because being with him is the best high I’ve ever known.
Because when he touches me, there is no better feeling in the entire world.
Because I’m the moth and he’s the flame.
And the thing is, I know that he wouldn’t even notice if I burned completely.”

Demi and Paxton had an odd relationship, if you can call it that, in college. She wanted more and he was the stereotypical college football player that didn’t want to be tied down to one girl. Whereas Demi looked at him like he hung the moon and one day she would wear him down.

Years later, they see one another again but Demi has her walls up high and strong. Paxton is now a huge pro football player and she is the CEO of her own company. Demi wants nothing to do with him but he’s determined to prove he’s nothing like the college boy she remembers.

“A person doesn’t forget the dismantling of their heart, ventricle by ventricle.” 

Carrie does a really nice job of switching between past and present from both their POVs, giving the readers the best of both worlds. Seeing how Paxton has matured helps Demi understand him more. And seeing how hurt Demi was in the past, makes us understand the walls she has up.

Paxton and Demi’s relationship is a sweet and beautiful story. Nothing is too fast and these two learn a lot about one another. I love that Paxton stops at nothing with Demi – he is dead set on winning her over. While, I did wish there was more angst and drama, I still enjoyed this one.

Another rock solid story from Carrie.

Unfortunately, he’s developed amnesia, and although he doesn’t remember their night together, desire binds them in ways they can’t resist.

Read and exclusive excerpt from FORGET YOU:

What he was about to do seemed crazy. He just needed to hear Sophie say nothing sexual had ever happened between them. Then he could chalk up those images as pure fantasy.

He pulled into a space, threw the gear in park, and got out. Sophie’s shocked expression alone would whip him down to size. Guilt over dreaming of her naked would replace his attraction to her. That’s exactly what he needed. A heaping pile of remorse.

Signs with numbers and arrows led him through the maze of duplexes in the courtyard. In the past, he’d followed her from work after a long night to make sure she’d made it safely home, but he’d never actually gone to her apartment before. King located the right door and rapped on it. Not that he had a good reason now.

A porch light flickered on above him. He heard movement inside. What if Sophie’s roommate answered? He’d forgotten about her. Shit. What was his excuse? A lost phone number. Problems accessing the presentation from his computer.

Sophie opened the door. Devoid of makeup, hair swept back into a ponytail, and dressed in a faded green tee and jean shorts, she radiated uncomplicated beauty. “King? What are you doing here?”

He barely squashed the need to take her in his arms and went inside. “We have to talk. Is your roommate here?”

“No. Robin’s at work.” She closed the door. “Why? What’s going on?”

“When were we together?”

“Yesterday. Don’t you remember?” The genuine concern in her expression made him feel like a cross between a jerk for thinking of her sexually and a man struggling to prove his sanity.

“No. I mean yes.” He raked his hair and pulled so hard his scalp stung. “When did we sleep together?” Shock. Laughter. An emphatic denial. He braced for them.

Sophie paled. She shrugged and brushed her bangs from her forehead. Her tell. She planned to deny what happened.

No way in hell was she getting away with that. “How long ago was it? Weeks? Days? Why didn’t you tell me?”

What’s next for Sophie and King? Pick up your copy of FORGET YOU, The Kingman Brothers and find out. Available April 16, 2018

I enjoyed reading Forget You by Nina Crespo. Sophie Jordan is Nicolas’s (AKA King) right hand woman. Always unattainable, King becomes attainable once the two hit a gala together and the flames ignite between them. This is when it gets good because the attraction between the two are definitely there even when Sophie tries to keep him at distant. I also like that King doesn’t just fall in love right away with Sophie. It is a bit refreshing as a romance reader. I was surprised as well when reading because it was not so predictable in the beginning.

One thing that I liked about Forget Youis that Sophie falls for King not once but twice. I think this has the potential to be a fun series to read and enjoy. King has a brother that I am dying to read about.

Needing Him by Kennedy Fox…Blog Tour & Review

 

 

 

 

Evan Bishop is your typical hotshot doctor.
Hardass, brooding, and all business.

Instead of working on the family ranch, Evan broke the mold and became an ER doctor.
He’s good with his hands—in more ways than one—smart as a whip and is the definition of God’s gift to women. Being a gentleman is in his Southern roots, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t flawed. Exclusive dating has never been a top priority and his tragic past makes him stay at arm’s length. Deciding to let loose for a wild night, he takes a page from the Bishop brother’s relationship book and hooks up with a mysterious girl he’ll never have to see again, which is perfect for this self-proclaimed bachelor.

Emily Bell is a city girl through and through but is determined to get away from her family and past. All she wants is a fresh start and to make a name for herself in the medical field. No random hookups and no dating coworkers—that’s her new motto after being burned time and again. When she agrees to attend a wedding as a plus-one, she’s soon ditched and left to drink solo—but not for long. Mr. Suit is the ultimate temptation with his Southern charm, messy blond hair, and irresistible sex appeal. Everything about him screams bad news, but he makes her reconsider her rules just for one night.

After all, some rules are made to be broken.

They want the same thing—one night of passion then they’ll go their separate ways. No cuddling afterward. No next day phone calls. No awkward goodbyes. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll be obvious when they report to work on Monday morning.

*A contemporary romance with a little Southern drama. This is book 2 in the Bishop Brothers series. Each book features a different brother and can be read as a complete standalone. HEA guaranteed!*
Not suitable for readers under 18 due to adult language and sexual content.

 

 

AVAILABLE NOW

AMAZON | iBooks | B&N | KOBO

 

 

 

Kennedy Fox has done it again!! I think every book in this series is going to have my loving the next brother more than the last. LOL And I love that they are so different with their personalities and quirks.

Evan didn’t follow in the same footsteps as his brothers and stay to work at the ranch. He felt his calling in another way – becoming a doctor. On his rare days off, he does go to the ranch and help out, but he’s dedicate to his job and loves what he does.

Emily Bell has grown up always knowing she wanted to be a doctor, but didn’t exactly want to follow in her father ways and become a fertility doctor or even work in that environment. She wanted to be in the ER where her day was always a surprise. Living in her father’s shadow was never easy and she worked damn hard to prove to everyone that she got where she was due to her work ethic and not because of who her father is.

When circumstances have Emily moving out of her hometown to start anew, she’s determined to focus on her career and prove once again, this is what she was born for. However, her best friend still wants Emily to live a little and invites her to a wedding as her plus one. But when her best friend Keira ends up bailing on her at the wedding, Emily finds herself having a hard time saying no to one gentleman in a tuxedo.

It’s only one night. Emily does even give him her name. She doesn’t know anyone here and she won’t even see him ever again. Right??

When Evan and Emily meet each other a second, sparks definitely fly, just not in ways that they did the first time. And that’s where everything gets good!!

I love how the dup that is Kennedy Fox lets this one work its out. Evan has this chip on his shoulder and definitely lets Emily have it a few times. But Emily is in no way a pushover and doesn’t let his barbarian attitude turn her away. She goes toe to toe with him and that just aggravates him even more.

I loved all the emotions and dialogue in this book. These may be hotheads, but they also are mature even to talk things and sometimes “work” things out of their systems. There is definitely no shortage of chemistry between them. And Kennedy Fox does a phenomenal job on this and delivers a great transition into the next book.

 

 

 

 

 

I caved.

Fuck me. I caved, and now he thinks he’s in control and God’s gift to the world.

Fucking great.

I won’t let him manipulate me with sex. He must not be that smart if he thinks that’s actually going to work. I said those things in the heat of the moment and because I really needed to fucking come, but that doesn’t mean I meant it. Hell, I would’ve told him the sky was purple if that meant he’d give me what I needed.

Regardless, that was really damn hot. The way I yelled at him, and he yelled back, and then we just attacked each other. Every moment of our first night together has replayed in my head since it happened, but now… angry Evan is the one who will haunt me in my dreams. Angry Evan is hot and demanding and knows just how to tease the fuck out of me. I almost hate him for it. Except I could never hate a man who knows how to worship my body like he does.

But God, does he really have to be such a controlling asshole?

I scoop my scrubs and shoes off the floor and adjust my just-fucked hair. Once my top is on, I search for my panties. When I don’t find them on the floor, I shake out my scrub bottoms, but they aren’t there either. What the fuck?

Panic starts to surface at the realization that I lost my damn panties. Shit, shit, shit.

My pager beeps, and it’s painfully obvious I’m going to have to put my pants on without them. Quickly, I finish getting dressed and push my shoes on before grabbing my lab coat and the soiled shirt and flying out the door.

I throw Evan’s shirt in the trash before anyone can see me and ask questions.

Rushing to the nurses’ station for an update, I look around but don’t see any commotion or people scrambling like normal. “What’s going on? You paged me?” I ask, trying to catch my breath.

Fiona looks at me like I’ve gone crazy. She swallows and lowers her eyes before bringing them back up to look at me. She witnessed the heated argument back in the trauma room, and now she looks uncomfortable as hell. “Dr. Bishop asked me to page you. He wanted me to tell you that your break is over and to get back to work.” I can tell she’s uneasy delivering the news, but that doesn’t stop the anger from brewing inside me.

The vein in my forehead is about to burst, but I remind myself to play it cool. For all they knew, Evan sent me on the break to calm down, and now I’m the one looking like a slacker.

“Okay. Thanks.” I pinch my lips together to prevent any further words from spewing out of me. No one can know that Evan and I are…whatever the hell we are. Considering I came to this hospital to make a name for myself all on my own, the last thing I need is people thinking I sleep my way to the top.

Crap.

“Dr. Bell,” Evan barks from the other side of the room. He’s holding a pile of charts in his hands that are no doubt from the huge fire incident that just unfolded.

Taking a deep breath, I put my lab coat on and dig my stethoscope from the pocket and wrap it around my neck. We have to act impartially to each other publicly, but hell, I didn’t realize how hard it’d be now that we’re together.

“Yes, Dr. Bishop?”

He doesn’t even look up at me when I approach him, and I hate that it irritates me.

“I need you on beds seven through fifteen until the next shift rotation, then finish these charts before you leave.” His head tilts up, his lips in a firm line as he piles the stack in my arms. “I also need an update on the Brauer kids once an hour.”

Swallowing, I adjust the charts in my arms to prevent them from falling. I won’t let my pride get in the way of doing my job, and if charts are what I need to do right now, then I won’t make a scene. At least not in front of everyone. However, once we’re alone, I’m going to give him a piece of my mind for treating me like a damn intern again.

“Absolutely. Anything else, sir?” My tone is laced with fake sweetness, and he doesn’t flinch a beat at it.

“Yes, actually.” He takes a step forward and dips his head until his mouth hovers over my ear. “Make sure those charts are done correctly before you leave. I’ll be looking through them extensively.”

“Of course.” I grind my teeth, wishing I could give him a piece of my mind right now.

“And since I know you’re going commando, I won’t ask you to perform any oral procedures.” He winks before walking away, making my blood boil.

That asshole stole my panties!

Our relationship was a sin, they said, but how can it be a sin to love so deeply?
She shouldn’t have listened to them.
Shouldn’t have left us behind.
You can’t help whom you love, and without Silvina, I didn’t give a damn.
A mafia prince without a cause is a rebel with nothing to lose.
My brother owned an adult entertainment studio.
He wanted me nowhere near it. Thankfully, his competition did.
I auditioned. Landed a contract.
It’s how I took my sins to a new level, my up-yours to la famiglia.
Until Silvina was kidnapped, and my world was thrown upside down.

About the Author:

I’m a lover of everything beautifully written no matter the genre.
As an author, I pen flawed characters. I seek the flip side where the soul hides, and once there, I want to be pulled out of my comfort zone by stories that take on a life of their own.
I’ve committed paranormal and young adult books. I’ve done contemporary romance verging on erotica, and I’ve dabbled in supernatural mystery. But my heart is anchored in new adult of the true kind: unapologetic young adult that’s all grown up, with conflicts and passions familiar to college-aged readers and people who remember those days like they happened last night.

Wishing Well RD-5

This story is WOW!! Wishing Well is nothing like I anticipated and for that, I am truly grateful.

“The perfect timing of a fairy tale is tied to its tragedy…”

Whishing Well is Lily at her finest. She truly is in a league of her own with this twist tale. This is no ordinary fairy tale and it’s one you must go into completely blind.

Alluring. Captivating. Intriguing. Spellbinding. Vincent Mercier is a man who will ensnare you in his web of half-truths and leave you questioning your own sanity.

You will find yourself immersed in these characters and their story. You won’t be able to walk away from this one the same as when you started it. The emotions that I felt while reading this one, they were so high and entangled, I am not sure that any emotion was more felt over the others.

I know this review is extremely vague but trust me when I say that going in to this book completely blind is the best way to read it.

“You don’t know fear until you’ve traipsed through darkness. You don’t know desolation until you’ve been tossed to the wolves.
You don’t know pain until you’re shown just how disposable you are…”

Another smashing hit for Soraya in her Chicago Syndicate series!

For the Love of Luca may be book number eight in this series and it may feature the couple in her very first book, but you do not need to read any of the previous books in this series to understand everything going on in this book. Now, will this book make you want to go back and read the previous books, most definitely yes.

I can’t applaud and shout to the rooftops how much I love Soraya and her mafia series. She is one my favorite authors when it comes to mafia series – she knows how to mix the suspense, action and romance perfectly without losing any aspects to the story. She intertwines everything so perfectly and delivers one hell of a story.

For the Love of Luca felt like the perfect follow up for those of us who have read about Luca and Fallon in the previous books. For those who haven’t, it’s the perfect book to see a strong relationship in the mafia world can grow so much.

Fallon is no longer this meek and fragile woman. She has learned what her husband’s role is, even though he had done his best to protect her from most of it. But any woman standing along side a mafia man, needs to be able to hold her own too. And Fallon proves that she is cable, even when Luca still wans to protect her from ugliness of their world.

Luca is a man who doesn’t like not having control. And that constant need to have control, blinds him from seeing how confident and stronger Fallon has become. His need to not only protect his family within the mafia, but Fallon and their kids causes him to lose sight of things and inevitably throwing things into the shit storm they find themselves in.

As with all her books, Soraya gives us everything in her books. I can never put one of her books down once I start them. I feel like I am revisiting a long lost family, a lethal family, but a family none the less that I love revisiting them with every book she writes. I can’t wait for the next book in this series, because well, I can never grow tired of this series!!

Release Day Blitz…Needing Him by Kennedy Fox

 

 

 

 

Evan Bishop is your typical hotshot doctor.
Hardass, brooding, and all business.

Instead of working on the family ranch, Evan broke the mold and became an ER doctor.
He’s good with his hands—in more ways than one—smart as a whip and is the definition of God’s gift to women. Being a gentleman is in his Southern roots, but that doesn’t mean he isn’t flawed. Exclusive dating has never been a top priority and his tragic past makes him stay at arm’s length. Deciding to let loose for a wild night, he takes a page from the Bishop brother’s relationship book and hooks up with a mysterious girl he’ll never have to see again, which is perfect for this self-proclaimed bachelor.

Emily Bell is a city girl through and through but is determined to get away from her family and past. All she wants is a fresh start and to make a name for herself in the medical field. No random hookups and no dating coworkers—that’s her new motto after being burned time and again. When she agrees to attend a wedding as a plus-one, she’s soon ditched and left to drink solo—but not for long. Mr. Suit is the ultimate temptation with his Southern charm, messy blond hair, and irresistible sex appeal. Everything about him screams bad news, but he makes her reconsider her rules just for one night.

After all, some rules are made to be broken.

They want the same thing—one night of passion then they’ll go their separate ways. No cuddling afterward. No next day phone calls. No awkward goodbyes. Too bad the universe has other plans—one that’ll be obvious when they report to work on Monday morning.

*A contemporary romance with a little Southern drama. This is book 2 in the Bishop Brothers series. Each book features a different brother and can be read as a complete standalone. HEA guaranteed!*
Not suitable for readers under 18 due to adult language and sexual content.

 

 

AVAILABLE NOW

I caved.

 

Fuck me. I caved, and now he thinks he’s in control and God’s gift to the world.

 

Fucking great.

 

I won’t let him manipulate me with sex. He must not be that smart if he thinks that’s actually going to work. I said those things in the heat of the moment and because I really needed to fucking come, but that doesn’t mean I meant it. Hell, I would’ve told him the sky was purple if that meant he’d give me what I needed.

 

Regardless, that was really damn hot. The way I yelled at him, and he yelled back, and then we just attacked each other. Every moment of our first night together has replayed in my head since it happened, but now… angry Evan is the one who will haunt me in my dreams. Angry Evan is hot and demanding and knows just how to tease the fuck out of me. I almost hate him for it. Except I could never hate a man who knows how to worship my body like he does.

 

But God, does he really have to be such a controlling asshole?

 

I scoop my scrubs and shoes off the floor and adjust my just-fucked hair. Once my top is on, I search for my panties. When I don’t find them on the floor, I shake out my scrub bottoms, but they aren’t there either. What the fuck?

 

Panic starts to surface at the realization that I lost my damn panties. Shit, shit, shit.

 

My pager beeps, and it’s painfully obvious I’m going to have to put my pants on without them. Quickly, I finish getting dressed and push my shoes on before grabbing my lab coat and the soiled shirt and flying out the door.

 

I throw Evan’s shirt in the trash before anyone can see me and ask questions.

 

Rushing to the nurses’ station for an update, I look around but don’t see any commotion or people scrambling like normal. “What’s going on? You paged me?” I ask, trying to catch my breath.

 

Fiona looks at me like I’ve gone crazy. She swallows and lowers her eyes before bringing them back up to look at me. She witnessed the heated argument back in the trauma room, and now she looks uncomfortable as hell. “Dr. Bishop asked me to page you. He wanted me to tell you that your break is over and to get back to work.” I can tell she’s uneasy delivering the news, but that doesn’t stop the anger from brewing inside me.

 

The vein in my forehead is about to burst, but I remind myself to play it cool. For all they knew, Evan sent me on the break to calm down, and now I’m the one looking like a slacker.

 

“Okay. Thanks.” I pinch my lips together to prevent any further words from spewing out of me. No one can know that Evan and I are…whatever the hell we are.
