Amazon ~ Goodreads ~ Barnes & Noble

Synopsis:

Rena Woods has a great life. She recently landed the contract to decorate the home of basketball wife, Cecilia Hood, her business is growing, and this contract could make her the elite decorator in St. Louis. Rena’s sacrificed her personal life for her company without a single regret. When Staff Sergeant C.J. Riker moves in across the hall, Rena can’t stand to be around him. He may be on the volcanic side of hot, but his attitude sucks. Riker does whatever he can to get under Rena’s skin.

After a massive blow to her business sends Rena on a self-destructive binge, Riker is there to save her from doing something she might regret. Could there be more to Riker than meets the eye? And will he open up enough to Rena to tell her how he lost his leg or shut out love forever?

My review:

Neighbors is a novella from author L.S. Murphy and is the first work I have read from her. I really enjoyed it!

When Rena meets Riker, it’s not exactly in the best of circumstances. She needs him to move his truck so she can move her car. She’s annoyed with him and he’s annoyed with her. Well, the circumstances don’t get much better and it seems like every time they see on another it’s not exactly a pleasant exchange. Rena knows a bit of his back-story. He was in the military and has a prosthetic leg, so clearly he has some reason for being less than happy these days. She could only imagine what must have happened to him, and it broke her heart. Still, Rena doesn’t think too highly of his gruff attitude…until she sees him around their apartment complex every now and then doing something nice for someone. Soon Rena realizes she may not have given him a fair chance and when her job suddenly takes a nosedive, she thinks maybe giving him shot at friendship could be the distraction she needs. Who knows, maybe something more than friendship is what they both need?

This novella was really great. Sometimes a quick and entertaining read is just what the doctor ordered in between full-length novels. I enjoyed both Rena and Riker and would love to see more of them in the future!

Thank you, L.S.!

Donya’s Guest Post:

What a pleasure to be here today. Thank you for a having me so I could introduce your readers to my award-winning All the King’s Men Series (AKM). The fifth book, Return of the Assassin, just came out at the end of October, and tells the story of Malek and Gina, two vampires tormented by their tragic pasts who must find a way to overcome the pain they’ve endured if they are to have a future with one another.

This concept is at the heart of Return of the Assassin, and both my hero and heroine face tough challenges. Malek’s first mate died almost a thousand years ago, but he has refused to accept her death. In doing so, he became a hollow shell of a person, dependable but emotionless. He gets the job done, but, as Micah says, he’s a whitewashed version of himself from what he was before. When he meets Gina, he can no longer avoid dealing with the past, but in so doing, his mind fractures as he tries to reconcile loss with love, especially since Gina split town and left him to deal with his mated male hormones alone. But Gina wants nothing to do with Malek, or so she says. Gina’s first mate was a violent and abusive vampire who stole her innocence, as well as her ability to bear children, and despite the fact that she’s been free of him for almost a century, she still hasn’t fully moved on. She refuses to enter into another relationship with anyone, and vows never to mate again. But after meeting Malek, her world turns upside down and she fears she has only one choice if she wants to get her life back on track: return to Malek.

In the first four books of AKM, the other characters had to go through hell and back to find happiness, so Malek and Gina have to, as well. Otherwise, they won’t learn anything and won’t become who they were meant to be. And isn’t that how it is in real life, too? I’ve always said that nothing worth having in life ever comes easily. The harder you work, and the more pain you go through to achieve your objective, the more you appreciate it once you succeed. Same with Malek and Gina, and by the end of the book, after what they have to go through to find happiness, if they aren’t appreciating each other, then they never will.

Excerpt from Return of the Assassin

Malek took a step toward her. “Gina—”

“I don’t want to hear it.” She spun and took off down the hall as if the kitchen were on fire.

“Gina, wait.” Malek hurried after her. “Please listen to me.”

She twirled and shoved him away. “Get away from me, Malek. After what you did tonight, just stay back.” Who did he think he was to come here still smelling like that skank? The least he could have done was shower. But no, he had to bring her nasty smell here and add insult to injury. “I have to be the stupidest female on the planet,” she said under her breath.

“I’m sorry, Gina. God, I’m so sorry.”

But she wasn’t ready to forgive him. She was still too angry and hurt. “Sorry? Were you sorry when you brought that whore into your house and fucked her under my nose? Huh?” Aggression burst from her like an explosion, and she shoved past him out into the hall again before spinning around to confront him as he charged after her. “You fucked another female in front of me, Malek! Is that how a mated male behaves? Is that the respect a female deserves from her mate?”

Why deny the obvious any longer? They were mates. She knew it. He knew it. It was time to cut through the shit and lay the cards on the table. One way or the other, tonight they would deal with the link that tethered them to one another.

“No, but…”

She batted him away and fled back into the bedroom. Adrenaline coursed through her. She had to keep moving. If she didn’t, she would give in to the rising arousal he stirred in her belly simply from his proximity, even though he carried the reminder of his infidelity on his skin. “You stink. You smell like her.” Her nose crinkled again as she paced to the other side of the room near the windows and crossed her arms. Then uncrossed them. She couldn’t stand still. Nervous energy flirted with sexual hunger, and war raged within her body to distance herself from him as well as throw him to the bed and take possession of what belonged to her.

He followed and reached for her hands, but she slapped him away. “Don’t touch me. Get away from me, Malek.” Even as she said the words, she wanted nothing more than his hands on her body.

Hurt and misery smeared his expression. “Please Gina, let me explain. I’ve been dying a slow death without you. I just didn’t know—”

She held up her hands, dodged him, and shot back out of the room as he rushed after her. “You? You’ve been dying a slow death? I’ve been miserable for weeks, Malek, and all this time I thought it was because I didn’t want to be mated. When all along it was because…” She fumed as she trailed off, angry at him for stealing her moment of realization from her earlier. When she had finally figured out the source of her anxiety and accepted the reality, ready to take her place by his side, he had abandoned her for another female.

In the living room, she paced and swatted him away as he reached for her again, and then hurried back to the bedroom. When she spun back toward the door, he blocked the exit. She was trapped.

“Gina—”

“Just shut up, Malek!” Under the bitch’s scent, he smelled delicious. So inviting. “Males are nothing but trouble. Especially you! You’re the worst kind of trouble I don’t need!” But she did need him. And with every second that ticked by, her resolve to push him away cracked a little more. The side of her that had bound itself to him bullied its way through, pushing aside restraint and anger to feed her desire and make her too weak to hold back much longer.

He continued toward her with cautious steps, one arm slightly raised, his palm facing her, as if he were trying to capture a feral cat and didn’t want to spook it. “I’m sorry, Gina. Please let me make this better.” Anguish etched the lines of his face, and suffering roiled in the depths of his eyes. Malek was clearly in agony over what he’d done to her.

“Malek, don’t. Just don’t.” She was faltering. He was here. Her mate was here. And no matter what he had done, the desire to go to him was more powerful than her anger. They were like polar atoms, one positive, one negative, drawn to each other to connect and form a brand new molecule. Something neither could do alone.

“Please, Gina…” Guilt wafted from him as he slowly closed the distance between them.

But she no longer had the strength to flee. Furthermore, she didn’t want to. As much as she hated what he had done to her, and as much as she wanted to stay angry at him, she wanted to be with him more.

“Gina…” He took one last step toward her, and his warmth spread around her.

The two of them stood in silence for what felt like a long time, but he didn’t try to touch her. It was almost as if he didn’t want to break the fragile moment they had found together. One where she had to fit herself into a new reality she had fought for decades and only just now considered trying on for size again. But Malek fit like a pair of favorite jeans. Had she doubted he would? After all, he was the other half of her, the greener grass on the other side of the fence, the brighter light without the rose-colored glasses to taint or cloud his image. Malek was everything that she needed to be complete. He was perfect, beautiful, and majestic.

“Look at me, Gina.” With the tips of his fingers under her chin, he lifted her face.

Her fury was tapped out, depleted by expulsion, as well as by his presence. The mating bond was already doing its job, making them better individuals by fusing them into one. As she looked into his magical, dark brown eyes, her fears and pain evaporated, and she could almost feel his doing the same.

“I need you,” he said.

“If you’ve been waiting for the next Black Dagger Brotherhood, this is it…” -GraveTells Review

Assassin Gina Carano doesn’t have time for love. In fact, the last thing she wants is a mate. But Gina can’t stop thinking about Malek, the handsome AKM enforcer she met in Chicago. And now she’s beginning to fear Malek’s memory is the reason for her crippling panic attacks, which have assaulted her relentlessly since she left him.

Malek has never dealt with the centuries-old death of his first mate, but now that he’s formed a new mating link to Gina, he has no choice. Stuck between the agony of mourning and the despair of being without Gina, his mind fractures as he attempts to reconcile the two halves of himself.

When Gina botches a hit on two vicious vampires in Miami, she reluctantly flees back to Chicago, where Malek must choose between the past and the future before he loses Gina forever.

Release Day Event…All the Pretty Lies by M. Leighton

by Jilly

ALL THE PRETTY LIES by M. Leighton is Here!!

That’s right! The newest novel from M. Leighton is out and you can get your copy today! Check out the stunning cover and then look below to read all about the title and M. Leighton! There’s an excerpt for you and a phenomenal giveaway that you don’t want to miss at the bottom!

Book links:

Isn’t that cover gorgeous?!? ALL THE PRETTY LIES is a New Adult Contemporary Romance filled with heat, lies, and romance. And it’s out today!

Excerpt:

I take another step toward him, building up the nerve to

just do it, just kiss him. But Hemi
surprises me when he takes the step
that will bring us near enough to touch.

He’s so close, my chest almost brushes his every time I
inhale. I sway toward him the tiniest bit, craving the contact. With him.
A perfect stranger.

“Sloane,” he whispers, the sound of my name on his lips
bringing chills to my arms again. He
reaches out to push my hair back over my shoulder. His fingertips linger on the skin of my neck
before they fall away.

“Hemi,” I sigh, melting into the heat of his eyes. I knew there was something between us. Well,
I’d hoped. Hoped I wasn’t imagining it. But now I know I wasn’t. It’s there, staring out at me from behind his
hooded midnight eyes. Blatant and unabashed, he wants me. And I want him, too.

“You need to walk out that door and never come back.”

My heart stops. Of
all the things I thought he might say, this came out of nowhere. “What?” I ask in a small, uncertain voice.

“You need to leave.
And don’t look back.”

I scramble to recover.
“But…but what about the rest of my tattoo?”

“I’m not talking about your tattoo and you know it.”

“Then what are you
talking about?” I inquire, playing dumb to save what’s left of my crumbling
pride.

“I’m talking about you.
And me. This. Us.”

“There is no us.”

“There will be in about thirty seconds if you don’t get the
hell out of here.”

“What if I don’t want to leave?” I’m confused. Is he saying
that he wants me? Or that he wants me to
go?

“I’m not asking.”

“Why?”

“Why what?”

“Why do you want me to go?”

“Because guys like me change girls like you.”

“Girls like me?”

“Innocent girls.”

“What if I’m not that innocent?”

His lips quirk in a wry grin. “Oh, you’re exactly that innocent. I can
practically smell it on you. Sweet, pure, untouched. And, if I’m being honest, I’d like nothing
better than to taste that on the tip of my tongue.”

“Then what’s stopping you?”

I watch him wrestle with…something. “I don’t have the time or the inclination to
get involved in ruining someone else’s life.”

“What makes you think you’d ruin my life?”

“Oh, trust me. I
would.”

“But—”

“But nothing. For
tonight, I’ll be the good guy you need me to be. Whether you know you need it or not. I’m
asking you to leave, Sloane. But I
promise you—promise you—that if you
so much as darken my doorway again, I won’t let you walk back out again.”

I’m torn between heady elation and harsh rejection. “Hemi—”

“Go, little girl,” he says softly. “Go before I change my mind.”

About ALL THE PRETTY LIES:

All the Pretty Lies

“Live, no regrets”

Her…

Sloane Locke has led a sheltered life. However, with a history like hers, she can understand why her brothers and her father want so much to protect her. She has gone along with it for twenty long years, but those days are over. For the girl who never makes promises, Sloane has made a pact with herself that things will change on her twenty-first birthday. So when the clock strikes midnight, Sloane strikes out to spread her wings and break a few rules.

Him…

In addition to inking skin, Hemi Spencer possesses many talents. Controlling himself has never been one of them. It’s never had to be. He’s lived a life of indulgence for as long as he can remember. Right up until tragedy struck. Now, he’s nothing but controlled. He’s a man on a mission, one who will let nothing and no one stand in his way.

Them…

Nothing in their lives could’ve prepared Sloane and Hemi for what they’d find in each other—distraction and obsession, love and possession. But the one thing they can’t find is a future. Neither one has been totally honest. And they’ll soon learn that the devil is in the details. In the details and in the lies.

How far will two people go to live in the now when the now is all they’ve got?

Review…Keep Me Still by Caisey Quinn

by Jilly

*ON SALE FOR 99 CENTS DURING RELEASE WEEK! THIS BOOK IS ON SALE FOR A LIMITED TIME AND WILL RETURN TO ITS REGULAR PRICE OF 3.99 AFTER SALE ENDS!*

**Book links:

Amazon ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Goodreads ~ Kobo ~

**THIS IS THE STANDALONE EDITION OF KEEP ME STILL AND INCLUDES THE PREQUEL AND SEQUEL NOVELLAS Let You Leave and Hold Us Close

Synopsis:

Scarred by loss, Layla leaves her hometown of Hope Springs, Georgia, hoping to put her painful past behind her and start over in college in California. When she runs into Landen at freshmen orientation, she has a choice to make. Reinforce those steel walls she’s built up around herself or give the only boy who can keep her still a second chance.

Landen’s more than ready to tear down those walls, but this time when they come crashing down, they might bury her

* This special edition of Keep Me Still includes the novella, Let You Leave & Hold Us Close:

Layla Flaherty had the perfect life, or close to it. Until a stranger gunned her parents down right in front of her, leaving her with seizure inducing PTSD. After years of trying to pass as normal and failing miserably, she resigns herself to being invisible. But new to town Landen O’Brien sees her, and he likes what he sees. Much to Layla’s surprise, he doesn’t freak out when she has a seizure in front of him. He does the exact opposite, calming her until the tremors subside. But Landen has secrets of his own. Secrets that will either bind them together or tear them apart.

My review:

Quick note: the edition that I just read included the novellas Let You Leave and Hold Us Close which in essence are the events leading up to and following the main novel, Keep Me Still. I do recommend this edition, if for no other reason than you get more Landen!

Keep Me Still is a novel by author Caisey Quinn and the first of her works that I have read. Well, after this, I will be adding all of her other works to me to-read list (oh, goodie! She’s got a bunch of books out!). This book was a crazy, intense emotional trip that I absolutely loved.

Among the many things Layla Flaherty has wished for in her life, being normal and happy are the two that mean the most. She has been through more in her life than anyone should have to endure. She lost her parents in a horrible act of violence that left her scarred emotionally and physically. Even though you couldn’t actually see her physical scars, they have ruined her reputation at school in the form of a seizure disorder and threaten to ruin her chance at a normal life. Things change, however, the minute new student and star soccer player Landen O’Brien moves to their school. She thought things had changed for the good when they became fast and close friends that slowly grew to more. Soon she realized that things actually changed for the worse when he broke her heart and ended up moving again…away from her. Even a year later, freshly tucked into freshman year at college far away from her hometown and all those memories, she couldn’t forget him. He was it for her and no one will ever live up. Imagine her surprise when she finds out he’s on her college’s soccer team. Is fate giving them another chance? Would she be able to get over her broken heart now, with him here?

As an army brat, Landen O’Brien was used to moving around. He was also used to a crap home life with a less than warm and fuzzy father, to put it nicely. The only good thing in his life was soccer….until he met Layla. For once, he was thanking his lucky stars that they had to move again and that he ended up here, with Layla, in this small town in Georgia. After spending time together, he knows he’s fallen hard and fast, but like all things in his life, nothing good lasts and he soon finds out he has to leave her. He broke her heart the day he left and he knew enrolling at the same college she was going to may not be the best choice, but he has to try to get her back. She was everything to him and he is going to do all he can to make her realize that. Since he left her a year ago, he’s been planning this. Even with his unanswered emails, texts, phone calls, he was determined. Now, with a little undercover help from Layla’s aunt, he’s here and there’s no way is he going to let her slip away again.

Layla and Landen embark on an emotional, moving, touching journey that will test their commitment to each other as well as to themselves. Individually they carry their own heavy burdens and things will get hard along the way, but with love and trust in the bond they’ve found, they have the power to make it all work out in the end. It may not be easy, but some things are worth fighting for.

This book kicked my arse and I absolutely loved it. Layla broke my heart at the beginning. She was so damaged and lost and just plain sad. To have gone through what she did and still be willing to try to get to some kind of normal life was so very admirable. Then to see her grow with Landen’s help, and to gain some confidence was fantastic. It was that confidence that had me loving her through the book. After coming out of her shell, so to speak, she really learned that she could take charge of her future and that her scars and her past didn’t define her. It was beautiful to see that change in her. On the flip side, Landen ended up breaking my heart at the end. He is a book boyfriend that I know tons of gals will be swooning over. An adorable, all-American jock with a damaged side that slayed me. Reading some of his scenes had me bawling my eyes out. Of course, that made me love him even more. His determination to be with Layla and his love for her was so real and intense. The dynamic between Layla and Landen is amazing. He helped her when she needed it most and pulled her from her darkness and eventually she has to do the same for him. Their trip to a happy ending is a really, really, REALLY rough one but so damn well deserved. Gut wrenching, sob inducing, heart breaking, emotional charged scenes put this book on my list of favorites. I absolutely adore Layla and Landen and reading the last few pages of this book made me so very happy for them.

Oh, and Layla’s roomie? Corin…. KICKED ASS! That girl is a friend we all would be lucky to have. She’s there for Layla when the chips are down and it honest even when the truth hurts. Loved her!

Yes, this is clearly one of my long and rambling reviews, because I just LOVED this book. Again, I recommend getting the edition with the two novellas because, well, more is always better! Thank you, Caisey, for Layla and Landen and for this amazing story.

Book Summary:

Landen’s more than ready to tear down those walls but this time when they come crashing down, they might bury her.

Excerpt:

I move the pillow and look at him, overheating instantly at the sight of his mouth and the memory of what he just did with it. I can’t help but wonder how people do these intimate things to each other and then go on with life business as usual. Pass the salt and all that.

“You are the most dangerous kind of beautiful,” he says, brushing my messy hair away from my face.

I can only imagine what a wreck I look like after that, but with the way he smiles at me, he must actually think I am beautiful right now. I lean in and kiss his mouth. I can taste myself on his lips. It’s kind of strange and kind of a turn on. I pull at his lower lip with my teeth and he groans.

His voice is raspy against my mouth. “You even taste like peaches, sweet like I knew you would be.”

“What do you taste like, Landen?” I ask, as my sex voice woman comes back to me. “And more importantly, what’s with all the clothes?”

That was how Remy Maison’s day began, not the glamorous world of guarding underwear from her creepy landlord on laundry day, but taking her brother’s place as driver for businessman Owen Savoy. And what was with this guy? Yeah, he’s hot and all, with eyes like melted chocolate and a lean, sexy figure she’d love to explore, but Remy’s never met anyone so rigid.

ARC Review & Excerpt….Drowning by Rachel Firasek

by Jilly

Book links:

Amazon ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Goodreads

Synopsis:

*Drowning is a New Adult Contemporary Romance suited for 18+ due to some violence, language, and sexual content*

“I dare you.”

Those words would change adrenaline junkie, Alice Harrison’s life forever. She’s a party girl that doesn’t believe in love until she meets a man that only writes about it.

Seth James escaped his overbearing father and moved into one of the James family’s vacant condos, hoping to create the music he loves in peace. But the fragile calm he’s envisioned shatters when a tiny woman with a world full of energy bounces out of the elevator and nearly takes him out.

With the patience of a saint, Seth seeks the dark that keeps Alice from enjoying life. He challenges her to exorcise the demons in her past in order to discover the true meaning of love. But when the walls fall down, the hidden deceptions will bare the ugly truth about a woman drowning in sorrow and a man who may not know how to be her hero.

My review:

Drowning is the newest work from author Rachel Firasek. I have read most of Rachel’s’ earlier works, and really enjoyed them, but nothing comes close to what she has done with Drowning. This book was remarkable.

To say that Alice Harrison has had a pretty heavy cross to bear would be a huge understatement. Feeling responsible for the recent accident that happened to her older sister is just the latest scar left on her emotions. Those emotional scars add another layer to the physical scars left by a person who was supposed to love and care for her. That combo has left her hardened and swearing off love and emotions for good. It was the only way she knew how to survive. That all changed when she meets her new neighbor, Seth. He refuses to let something like a slammed door to the face turn him away. The scariest part is, Alice knows he may be the one that can crumble her resolve and lead her to believe there may be some good left in the world. Will he have what it takes to love someone as scarred as she is?

Seth James hasn’t really had the best childhood. One of the things that has helped him through it, besides his brother, was his love for music. Now that’s his main focus. Well, it was until he sees Alice, the new neighbor. Funny that just a little conversation in the elevator can have him dying to know more about her. She’s going to be a tough nut to crack, but he’s up for the challenge. Seth soon finds out that there’s more to the challenge than just a tough exterior when he finds her crying in the stairwell and realizes she needs more than just a hot boy toy….she needs a knight in shining armor and damn if he wants to be that for her.

Seth and Alice have so much from their pasts that needs to be healed. Working on their own really hasn’t gone so well for them. Will working together finally be the balm they need to heal the wounds they both have?

Talk about an emotional story. We are given a peek into Alice’s story in the beginning and ever so slowly, the pieces are revealed and the puzzle that starts to take shape is so utterly heartbreaking. From the day she was born, she never stood a chance at happiness in the life she was brought into. Alice is truly a survivor though. She is finally free from the hell she called home and is now out on her own and is doing her best to live and be normal. Then she meets Seth and she gains be a sliver of hope that she could be loved….scars and all. Seth is amazing. He’s a man’s man with a huge heart and the love he has for his brother is evident from the first chapter. That made me love him even more and I knew if anyone can save Alice, he was it. Regardless of his own personal and family issues, he has a good head on his shoulders and is a delicious balance between hard and soft. The delicate dance between Alice and Seth was fabulous to read. There was a slow build of trust and caring between them. The attraction was instant but the progress into a relationship was done really well. Especially as we learn about Alice’s past and what she has endured. I can’t give anything away, but have some tissues handy.

Another fantastic addition to the story were the band members….besides brothers Seth and Gabe we meet Deacon and Evan. Those two boys are a terrific addition to the entire dynamic and make the whole gang have a real family feel. Albeit a slightly dysfunctional one, a family nonetheless, with all the teasing, bickering and caring that comes with it.

Rachel takes the reader on an emotional voyage with love, loss, angst, tenderness, anger, lust and so much more. Thank you, Rachel, for Alice and Seth and for all of the rest of these memorable characters. I can’t wait to see what you have planned form them all next!

Four Loves

Excerpt:

He laughs that loud laugh that cuts down into my stomach and vibrates my breakfast to the surface. “Of course. I haven’t seen you in quite some time and thought I’d pay my baby daughter a visit. Did you get my letter?”

I can’t help the tremble that takes root in my chin and bleeds up into my tear ducts. I fight the well of salt water. Seth was right. They were a weakness to him, and he’d feed on them. “You need to go.”

“I’ll go when I’m ready. I think you should remember whose roof you’re living under and be more gracious.”

The door across the hall opens, and I meet Seth James’ bold stare over my father’s shoulder. God no. Please, don’t watch this.

He leaves the door open and steps closer. “Everything okay?”

My father lurches back and clears his throat. “Everything’s fine.” He spins and thrust out his hand, all politician’s smiles and his kissing baby’s grin on his face. “E. Harrison, and you are?”

“Neighbor. Seth James.”

I grip my towel tighter, but Seth’s eyes never stray from Dad’s. He was so wrong about being a hero. He’d just saved me from pure evil. The two men stand taller. My father is forbidding in his expensive threads. He has years of cut muscles beneath that have kept him from sagging like most men his age. Seth, on the other hand, has youth on his side. He’s all hard ridges and full of territorial male dominance.

With a deep sigh that relaxes all those tightened nerves, I ask, “Father, did you need something?”

“I came by to speak to you about something, but, perhaps another time would be better suited.” He glances back at me and sneers, but returns to sleazy smiles before he gives a nod to Seth. “Mr. James, a pleasure. I’ll be on my way.”

Seth puts a hand out and catches my father’s shoulder. “Mr. Harrison, as the owner of this condo, I feel that I should warn you against making my tenants uncomfortable.” Seth steps across the hall and drops an arm around my scarred shoulder. His thumb soothes away the shiver chasing over my collar bone. “I’m not sure of your welcome here, so please correct me if I’m wrong, but I don’t want to see either of these girls come to harm.”

I gasp. He spoke so eloquently. Bold and rich. I’d have never thought he had it in him if I hadn’t just witnessed it. And no one has ever come to my defense. Never. Seth James was ten feet tall and made of blue bubble gum right now. I’d chew him, blow him, and make him pop. Vulgar, I know, but there it is.

My father straightens his jacket. “Do you know who I am?”

“I do, but obviously you do not know who I am or what I’m capable of.” Seth tucks me even closer. If he’s noticed the scars stretching across my shoulders, he’s too polite to even give them a second glance, and for that, I’ll forever be indebted to him. “Don’t fuck with Alice again.”

He knows my name. And he just cussed my dad.

Harrison squints at us, and turns, clicking his heels together before stalking to the elevator. As much as I love seeing someone put him in his place, Seth James had just built me a coffin.

Fucking great. As soon as the sliding doors close on Dad, I shove Seth away from me. He’s too much right now. Everything is too much.

His brow wrinkles. “What?”

“What the fuck do you think you’re doing?”

He steps back and glances at the floor before smirking up at me. “Being your hero.”

About the author:

Rachel Firasek spends her days daydreaming of stories and her nights putting the ideas to ink. She has spent a dull life following the rules, meeting deadlines, and toeing the line, but in her made up worlds, she can let the wild side loose. Her wonderful husband and three children support her love of the written word and only ask for the occasional American Idol or Swamp People quality hour.

She has a philosophy about love. It must devastate or it isn’t truly worth loving. She hopes that you all find your devastating love and cling to it with all your heart!

ARC Review…Bound by Wish and Mistletoe by Kat Bastion

by Jilly

Book links:

amazon ~ Barnes & Noble ~ Goodreads

Synopsis:

The holiday novella, Book 1.5, following the award-winning debut of Forged in Dreams and Magick in the Highland Legends Series:

Desperate to honor a life-long promise, Susanna MacEalan escapes her abusive clan with the fierce determination of never falling under the power of a man. Ever.

Aggravated by shallow-hearted pursuing lasses, Robert Brodie, commander of his clan’s elite guard, has foresworn scheming women. Forever.

When magick transforms Brodie Castle into a Christmas wonderland, the two despondent souls find solace in a most unexpected place . . . each other’s arms.

Amid a whirlwind of escalating events, Susanna’s traumatic past threatens Robert’s ability to protect the one woman meant for him. In a harrowing moment, as her fears and demons coalesce, will hope, faith, and love be enough to save them?

My review:

Bound by Wish and Mistletoe by Kat Bastion follows the fabulous Forged in Dreams and Magick. I was drawn back into Kat’s gorgeous Highland world from the very first pages and was so happy with this novella and being able to have another taste of the Brodie Clan.

Susanna MacEalan is in the midst of a desperate escape from her horrid clan and her father. She refuses to live another minute with the barbaric and ignorant people she is supposed to call a family. The last thing she expects to run into is a group of men in the woods along her escape route. Now she finds herself at their mercy and in need of their help if she stands any chance of getting away for good. Will she be able to trust a man? It’s men that have caused her to run in the first place. Without many options, she will have to swallow her pride and fears and trust this Highlander, whether she likes it or not.

On a ridiculous mission for something called a Christmas tree, Robert Brodie is annoyed, cold and tired…but not just for having to traipse through the winter woods looking for a tree. He’s also annoyed with women and has officially sworn them off for good. Now, with the tree procured, and his task just about complete, he is caught by surprise by the young and beautiful lass waving her dagger at him after stumbling upon him and his men in the woods. He realizes she’s in need of help and he’s realizes he would do anything to keep her safe. Struck by a sudden wave of emotions, he also realizes there is no way he’s going to let this woman go. She may not know it yet, but fate has sent her to him.

The fates and magick, it seems, have brought Susanna and Robert together for many reasons. The most important reason is simply that they were made for each other. The attraction and intense emotion they share for one another is a gift, and one they both will treasure.

I wrote earlier that I was so happy to be back in Kat’s gorgeous Highland world. I adore Kat’s writing and this novella is a prefect addition to the Highland Legends Series. Susanna broke my heart. The poor girl has been through so much at the hands of the very people who are supposed to love and care for her. Reading her stories of the abuse she and her mother endured was so very sad. I admired her tenacity and resolve in deciding to leave her old life behind in search of happiness and freedom. She sure is a spitfire! Robert is amazing. He’s a warrior though and through with a huge heart and soft side that had me swooning. He knows he has to work really damn hard to win Susanna over and he’s up for the challenge. Oh, how I loved his drive to win Susanna. Together, they are a beautiful match and make a fantastic couple.

I also loved seeing our favorite characters form Forged in Dreams and Magick. We get to see a bit of what the Clan Brodie has been up to and get a glimpse of what’s to come for them. Oh, I can’t wait!

Thank you, Kat, for another beautifully written story.

Samanthe stops by with a fantastic TOP FIVE list of “Interrupted Intimacy” moments:

Hi Jillian, thanks for having me back at Read-Love-Blog to talk about my new Brazen release, “Falling for the Marine”!

I had so much fun writing this story, dreaming up wild, naughty situations for straight-shooting USMC Major Michael McCade and free-spirited massage therapist Chloe Kincaid to land in. One of my favorites had terrible consequences for Chloe, I’m sad to report. When her sexy neighbor Michael shows up at her clinic as a client in need of relief from lower back pain, the massage goes from therapeutic to…ahem…well, let’s just say they’re well on their way to a happy ending when her boss walks in! Oh yeah. She’s fired.

I came to learn there’s a whole trope for this type of situation, called “Interrupted Intimacy,” and it frequently shows up in comedy films, along with two recognizable sub-tropes, “Parents Walk in at the Worst Times,” and “Caught with your Pants Down” (for a solo act). I got to thinking, what are the most epic moments of “Interrupted Intimacy”? This called for a Top Five list, and a glass of wine (okay, two glasses of wine, sticklers). Here’s what I came up with:

5. “Mean Girls” – Regina, (Rachel McAdams as the girl you love to hate), is making out with her new boyfriend when her stepmother, (played by the always hysterical Amy Poehler), comes in and asks “Do you guys need anything? Some snacks? A condom? Well, let me know!” I wish I could find a clip to link to, but I couldn’t. L

4. “Friends with Benefits” – Jamie (Mila Kunis) and Dylan (Justin Timberlake) are exploring some of those friendly bennies when Jamie’s mom (Patricia Clarkson) walks in. They’re completely freaked. Mom, not so much. “Whoo, it’s like the seventies in here. I’m starving, got any gin?” J

3. “American Pie 2” – Jim’s dad, (Eugene Levy, who I can’t even look at without laughing), walks in on Jim, (Jason Biggs, who I can’t even look at without cringing), having sex. Then comes Jim’s mom. Then the girl’s parents, and then… “Oh, you must be the parents of this young lady…I’m sorry, I didn’t get her name, but hopefully my son did.”

http://movieclips.com/QgCL-american-pie-2-movie-surprising-jim/

2. “Four Weddings and a Funeral” – David, (Hugh Grant) attempts to escape the reception table from hell, and ducks into an empty room for a quiet, reflective moment. The bride and groom arrive next, and, not realizing they’re not alone, promptly go at it…marathon-style. David is stuck crouching on a desk, hiding. Finally, he can’t take it anymore and jumps down. When the surprised newlyweds gape at him, he grabs a pen, says, “Found it!” and walks out the door. Sorry again…clip proved elusive.

1. Yep, you guessed it, “American Pie.” The infamous pie scene. “We’ll just tell your mother we ate it all.”

http://movieclips.com/fzBK-american-pie-movie-warm-apple-pie/

So, now I can’t resist asking, anybody been in an “Interrupted Intimacy” situation for reals? Time to share, if you dare!

About Falling for the Marine:

Pretending to be in love has never felt so sexy.

USMC helicopter pilot Michael McCade has two goals: Get his damn back into alignment and keep his nose clean until his commanding officer clears him to fly again. The doctor-recommended massage therapy seems like a necessary step toward returning to the cockpit, but when his too-hot-to-handle neighbor, Chloe Kincaid, turns out to be his masseuse, he strays from the straight and narrow in a major way.

Chloe Kincaid is looking for a simple, no strings attached, ego-boosting hook up. But when her positively panty-melting neighbor, USMC Major Michael McCade, (aka “Major Hottie”), shows up on her massage table, she lets desire get the better of professionalism. Now they’re pretending to be engaged to avoid a whole lot of unanticipated consequences of a momentary lapse in judgment. But can a girl who avoids attachments at all costs fake an engagement to a straight-arrow soldier without falling hard?

Excerpt:

Strategy firmly in place, Michael walked into the apartment. Chloe stood at the small table in the dining area, sorting through the mail. She wore a long, body-hugging black tank top over the white skirt he remembered from the infamous day at the massage clinic, and, hot damn, the lucky shoes. She looked up when he came in and gave him a smile, but as he closed in on her, the smile disappeared and her eyes grew wide.

Her lips parted, but he didn’t give her a chance to speak. He slammed his mouth down on hers. She staggered back a little under the force of this kiss, so he simply hauled her up, hitched her legs around his waist, and kept on walking until he had her pressed against the wall.

She broke away long enough to mumble, “Careful of your back.”

He used the opportunity to shove the tank top over her head. “Uh-huh. I’m done being careful. I’ve got an hour before I have to report back to the base tonight and I don’t plan to spend it being careful.”

“But—”

Covering her mouth again cured her of the desire to speak. Instead, she melted into the kiss. He shoved her bra out of his way and filled his hand with her warm, soft breast.

Her head dropped back against the wall, and she very nearly purred.

“I’m back on flight status,” he murmured against her throat.

That piece of news snapped her head up. She put her hands on his cheeks and pulled his face up as well until their eyes met. Hers were blinking back tears. “Oh…Michael. I’m so happy.”

“I’m about to make you even happier, because as far as I’m concerned, if I’m deemed fit to handle a CH-47, I’m fit to brace you against this wall, bury myself as deep inside you as humanly possible, and give you the kind of ride that leaves you sweaty and breathless and trembling from head to toe. Then I’m going to turn you around and fuck you from the other direction, just to prove to you beyond a shadow of a doubt I can make you come whenever I want, however I want. What do you say, Chloe? Would that make you happy?”

Amazon| Barnes and Noble | Goodreads

Synopsis:

Desperate to honor a life-long promise, Susanna MacEalan escapes her abusive clan with the fierce determination of never falling under the power of a man. Ever.

Aggravated by shallow-hearted pursuing lasses, Robert Brodie, commander of his clan’s elite guard, has foresworn scheming women. Forever.

When magick transforms Brodie Castle into a Christmas wonderland, the two despondent souls find solace in a most unexpected place . . . each other’s arms.

Excerpt:

Whatever power Robert possessed, it had more effect on Susanna than any amount of ale or spiced cider, casting her harrowing fears into faded memories. She had fallen under his spell and somehow couldn’t imagine being anywhere else. His incredible heat and power surrounded her, and all she wanted, what her body and heart, her very soul craved, was to be desired by him, to be protected by him . . . to be his.

“Doona move,” he warned, his voice rasping out, vibrating the skin of her throat.

A soft laugh escaped her lips. “I canna move.”

As he held her head back with her hair fisted in his hand, his devastating lips dragged down the side of her neck and across her shoulder, burning her skin with slow kisses along the way. An unquenchable fire built within her again, the ravenous need of her body overcoming lucid thought.

She swallowed hard. He seemed perfectly content to spend an eternity with his mouth on her shoulder blade. Unable to stand the increasing need within her, she squirmed beneath his hips, trying to ease the tension. For a moment, pleasure coursed through her, the friction against the rug creating a new, exciting sensation.

A loud growl at her ear and hard tug of her head back made her freeze. She whimpered, her scalp stinging, while a surprising erotic heat radiated down, stoking her building fire.

“I said, ‘doona move,’ and I meant it,” he clipped out.

“Robert, I canna help it. I need to move,” she replied.

“Aye, love,” he crooned, his heated breath trekking over the shell of her ear, “I know you do. Be patient. The reward is greater, the longer we wait.”

A heavy sigh whooshed out of her lungs, her feisty nature holding true no matter his wishes. His low chuckle followed.

Silken strands of his hair brushed across her shoulders as he placed his teeth on the skin between her shoulder and neck. He bit down into the muscle; but instead of hurting, an aching pulse shot straight between her thighs. She gasped in shock. He released the primal hold, licking the skin and blowing on it. Goose bumps raced down her body.

“Do you trust me, lass?”

Did she? No one had held her trust other than Mama. She never thought another soul could hold it. Not in her wildest imaginings would she have thought a man could . . . or would.

Forced to balance the delicate strands of time between two millennia . . .

Shocked by revelations rewriting the very foundations of history . . . of everything.
