Ice Planet Barbarians by Ruby Dixon…Review

Synopsis:

You’d think being abducted by aliens would be the worst thing that could happen to me. And you’d be wrong. Because now, the aliens are having ship trouble, and they’ve left their cargo of human women – including me – on an ice planet.

And the only native inhabitant I’ve met? He’s big, horned, blue, and really, really has a thing for me…

Review:

I know what you’re thinking – Ice Planet Barbarians? Is she serious? These were my same thoughts when this series hit my radar. But then I saw more people talking about it and saying how much they enjoyed it. People were getting excited about new releases, so when the author ran a promotion for the first book to be free, I one-clicked. And I’m so happy I did.

I love these books! They’re sexy and hysterical and hit all the right spots for my nerdy scifi-loving self. It’s like an Avatar/The Empire Strikes Back mashup with hot sex and alien cocks that are better than the highest priced Rabbit vibrator.

But it’s the humor that really cements this series as something more than the naughty thoughts you had while watching Avatar. Once our human heroine, Georgie, gets caught in the trap of our alien hero, Vektal, things really take off.

The aliens, the sa-khui, have symbiotic beings inside them, their khui, that will “resonate” when they meet their mate. It’s the alien version of fated lovers. When Vektal finds Georgie in his trap, he resonates. This big, blue dude wastes no time and spirits her off to a hunting cave. Georgie has passed out from the sight of him and so he’s free to examine this strange and curious creature that his khui is telling him is his mate. And he’s not shy.

She’s smooth. Not like a sa-khui. Her flesh is almost completely hairless, save for the long, flowing locks on her crown and a small tuft between her thighs that’s revealed as I pull her leathers from her. I snort with amusement at that small tuft.

Adorable. Adorable and nonsensical.

That’s the first belly laugh I had with Ice Planet Barbarians but certainly not the last. In fact, the next laugh was almost immediate. Because when Georgie’s thighs parted, Vektal was so overcome with her scent that he went down on her. And that’s how she woke up. And, well, she just goes with it.

When one big hand pushes on my thigh, urging me to spread my legs wider, I do so. I’ll get up and protest in just a minute.

Just.

Minute.

Gold! This is pure gold! I really enjoyed the author’s writing style and her voice. Ice Planet Barbarians is the perfect mix of science fiction, romance, and scorching sex scenes. I couldn’t wait to read the rest of the series. In fact, it spurred me to get the free trial of Kindle Unlimited. I’m on book 3 and have no plans on stopping.

Dark Mafia Prince by Annika Martin…Excerpt Reveal

We are thrilled to share an excerpt of Dark Mafia Prince by New York Times bestselling author, Annika Martin! Releases on June 28th!

Blurb:

Aleksio 
Don’t look at me like that. So trusting.
Like you think I’m not a monster.
Like I won’t wrap your hair in my fist and bend you to my will.
Like I won’t sacrifice you, piece by piece, to save my brother.
I’m the most dangerous enemy you’ll ever have because every time you look at me, you see somebody good. That friend who died.
And when you look at me like that, I die again.

Mira
I spent years making myself invisible.
A good girl, apart from the noise. Then you came back, beautiful and deadly in your Armani suit.
Don’t look at me like you still know me, you say.
But I remember your smile and those sunny days.
Before they lowered your small casket into the ground.
Before they told us the prince was dead.

EXCERPT

The way he uses me is violent. Primitive. Demeaning. And all I can think is, don’t stop.

He warned me he was going to be rough. He warned me I’d feel alarmed when he shoved his cock all the way down my throat. I was ready for that.

I wasn’t ready for the names he would call me.

Or to be so wildly turned on by it all.

It’s as if we crossed over to the right side of wrong, and everything is too hot, and his cock is too huge, and I have too many clothes. I want him to lay me out and use me. I want him to do anything to me. Everything to me.

I pull back, knowing he’ll shove my head back onto his cock, and he does, fingers digging into my scalp.

My nipples rub on his legs, heating—from the friction, maybe—and I nearly get off. It’s pure madness. Usually I need a lot of help.

But this is Aleksio being Aleksio. He always went too far, and I always loved him for it.

I feel when he’s going to come.

“No teeth. Don’t you fucking…” He jerks into my throat. The orgasm goes on forever. He holds my head firmly in his grip, panting.

I move my tongue a tiny bit and he clutches my hair. “God! Don’t move.”

I feel dazed. Heart pounding. This was the wildest and most powerful sexual experience of my life and I didn’t even come.

“Okay,” he whispers after a while, gently extracting himself from me. I sit on the coffee table, wiping my mouth and striking the tears from my cheeks.

His eyes shine, and I know he felt power of what just happened. The mad connection. Deep down, I know that neither of us have been here before. He reaches out and brushes my hair from my forehead.

That’s when I see the gun in his other hand, dark and cold and black.

He was holding a gun? Why? Why would he need a gun?

“Don’t worry, the safety was on.” He puts it aside, eyes averted, and then he swipes his phone off the floor. He presses something. A red light goes off.

My mouth falls open. “What the hell? What did you do?”

“Saved your finger.”

Red. A record light.

He tucks himself in, zips himself up.

He recorded us? Why record us like that? With him holding a gun? Why would he want to make it look like he was being a violent asshole, forcing me to do that?

Suddenly everything in the room gets too bright, too real. “No!” I go for the phone.

He grabs my wrist, hauling me up off the couch with him. “Leave it.”

“You’re going to show that recording to him? No!” I try to twist free. “You can’t!”

He can and he will.

I’m flooded with shame for how much I enjoyed it. And Aleksio made a movie out of it! To frighten Dad!

“Fuck!” I jerk and twist, trying to get at the phone. “You can’t! Please.”

“Sorry.”

“Oh my God!”

That’s when Viktor comes in. He regards us calmly, like it’s no big deal Aleksio is manhandling me. Aleksio tosses the phone to his brother. “Play it.”

“No! Don’t!”

Viktor taps the screen.

“Don’t watch it!” I go for Viktor now, but Aleksio has me.

“You can’t send Dad that clip.”

“We’re not sending him your bloody finger, isn’t that what you wanted?”

Aleksio. So cool, so smooth. Like it meant nothing to him. And me like an idiot, getting off on his rough treatment. Making myself vulnerable to him. Showing him something I never even showed myself. I want to die.

Viktor pockets the phone. “Her severed finger would be more extreme. More urgency. But this is more pain for the old man.”

“You guys are animals!”

Aleksio tightens hold on me. “You need to be done going crazy or we’ll handcuff and gag you.”

“You have to erase it!”

“You prefer the finger? That’s what you’re saying here?”

I trusted Aleksio. I followed him somewhere extreme, and he ripped my heart open. Cutting off my finger seems tame in comparison.

“You’re thinking about it? Fuck! No. Fuck that.” He turns to Viktor. “Call and see if the sack of shit’s awake.”

1986 by Morgan Parker….Release Blitz & Review

Title: 1986

Author: Morgan Parker

Genre: Romantic Suspense

Release Date: June 13, 2016

Allana Harrison wanted out. She wanted to escape her painful, broken past and enjoy a fresh start somewhere else. Anywhere else. And while all of the boys in high school and college promised to deliver that dream, only one man actually pulled through.

Now a young adult, Allana finds herself on the opposite side of the world, in a prosperous and rich town that’s not only isolated from her past, but from the crime, grime and hustle of bigger cities, in a country where she doesn’t understand the language or know anybody else except her husband. And that’s how she likes it.

Until she meets Alex, another American who ends up being her only other friend, the one person who reminds her of what it’s like to feel desired, wanted and hungered for.

Except Alex has motives. And Alex has questions — about her husband’s work at the world’s most-advanced, leading-edge power station, questions he wants answered… and when Allana can no longer provide them, Alex threatens to reveal the secrets of their forbidden past, secrets that will destroy the man that saved her.

Caught between two men — one she loves and the other she can’t help but love — Allana must deliberate the role she plays in the moments leading to humankind’s greatest disaster… in 1986.

Amazon | Goodreads

1986 is based on the events of Chernobyl. It’s told from a third person about Allana, Vasy and Alex.

Allana marries Vasy and moves to Prypat, Ukraine (USSR). There she meets his many coworkers and one of them being a fellow American, Alex.

I was truly struggled through the first 30% of the book. The next 30% I wasn’t thrilled with and then finally right around the 67%, I felt a bit of excitement. But that unfortunately didn’t last through the end.

I had a really hard time connecting to the characters. I felt nothing for them – didn’t really care what happened to them. What kept me glued to the book was the unique ideas and Mr. Parker’s creativity of how the US was tied to the Chernobyl accident – the conspiracies on other things that have gone wrong in our world at that time. Is the world truly better with nuclear power? It’s this stuff that kept me wanting to read more.

This book is marked as romantic suspense, but do not expect a whole lot of romance or steaminess. And honestly, I am glad that there isn’t. I think that would have taken away from the true plot of this book and make it too cheesy. I applaud Mr. Parker for not going that route. I enjoyed the deception, supense and drama that occurred during the later parts of the story.

Mr. Parker’s writing is unique. This is the first book I have read by him. Even though this book is not a 5 star for me, it may be for others. I am intrigued enough to read more of his work.

As the author of the best-selling mystery romance, Surviving Goodbye, Morgan Parker has written several other novels under this pen name. In 2012 and 2013, he self-published Textual Encounters and Textual Encounters: 2, respectively. As a result of the interest in these two stories, he wrote non friction, an unconventional love story. That love story earned Mr. Parker a tremendous amount of attention and at the insistence of his readers, he followed it with Hope (a novella) and Sick Day. All three of those stories have spent time on Amazon best-seller lists.

When not writing, Morgan likes to spend time gathering story material from his two young children, rereading books by Colin Harrison, and napping where he discovered the Type II Sleep State, which is the topic for an untitled trilogy to be released in late-2016.

Backfire by Keri Lake….Blog Tour & Review

Title: Backfire

Series: A Vigilantes Novel

Author: Keri Lake

Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance – Standalone

Published: June 9, 2016
Cover Design: Hang Le
Image Credit: Eric Battershell Photography
Cover Model: Johnny Kane

No matter how unbreakable he may seem, every man has a weakness.

A year ago, my home became a bloodstained crime scene. That night marked the beginning of my hell—the same night I was tortured by my enemies and tossed into an underground prison to die.

They failed. I survived.

Now that I’m free, only one motive burns in my soul: revenge.

Lucky for me, they think Jase Hawkins is dead. Maybe I am. I’ve got nothing but a cold, merciless rage, and Black Betty, the sharp steel blade that never leaves my side.

Then she drifts into my life.

Lucia wants answers—so much so, she’s willing to fall into the darkness where my enemies lie in wait, to kill her for what she knows.

Or to take her for the depraved fantasies her body alone can rouse in a man’s mind.

Me? I want her for the fire in her touch that feeds my addiction, forces me to feel what has become numb, but my appetite for bloodshed runs deeper than flesh.

For my own sanity, I’ve vowed to stay away from her. Because she’s my only weakness, an obsession that leaves me craving more—one that could make even the most steadfast plan backfire.

Where do I even start my review of this book? I don’t know how many times the words “WTF” or “holy sh*t” crossed my lips while reading this book. Let me tell you – the warning in the blurb that this book is dark is no lie – it’s very dark & edgy. But it’s sooooo damn good.

Backfire takes place in the same area as Ricochet – the seedier parts of Detroit. The characters all have their stories and each one just as gruesome and messed up as the next. Not everyone has a rainbow and puppies outcome, but some do. The journey just is filled with grit, grime and a lot of ugliness.

Lucy is a photojournalist for the Detroit Mudracker. But she takes one on the riskier jobs and is able to work in her love of urbex with her job. It’s her love of urbexand her next case at her job that unintentionally lands in her some deep shit.

Jase grew up in horrible conditions -hungry, poor and beaten daily. He relied on stealing, cheating and eventually dealing to keep him and his brother alive. But matter what he did, he still found himself in the pits of hell in the end.

“For my brother, I was willing to go to war. For you, mia Luce, I am willing to wage one.”

To say that Jase and Lucy’s story is a rough one, would be putting it mildly. Keri takes us on an ugly, gritty and edgy ride. She holds nothing back and gives her readers no mercy. She’s uncompromising and unapologetic in writing of this story. But where there is all the violence and gut wrenching parts, you will find the erotic and steamy scenes added in.

Keri takes you deep into these characters and the plot. You will feel your heart breaking and wanting to smash things as you read. You will feel the anger, vengeance and sheer hatred from these characters. But you will also find your heart being put back together and fighting with them for their freedom. You’ll feel the empathy, love and utter devotion to one another.

“In that moment, I imagined that my desire for vengeance didn’t overrun my desire for Lucy.”

Keri – you blew me away with Ricochet; but with Backfire, you have me in utter awe of your writing talent. I love that there is no line you aren’t afraid to cross. There is no limit on what you can feed us. And thank you for not making this in to two books – this is the perfect length for a great story! Told any other way, it just wouldn’t be the same. I can’t wait to see what you bring us in Ballistic.

“Backfire is dark, gritty, and unapologetic. You’ll be reading it with your heart in your throat and your stomach twisted up in knots. It’s violent, a touch depraved, darkly erotic, action packed and absolutely, positively unputdownable.” -Dirty Girl Romance Blog

“It’s brilliant. It’s rewarding and it is a mind screw done perfectly. You will hear your heart break for what Jase and Lucy go through. You will love, hate and shatter.” -Kathy Coopmans, USA Today Bestselling Author

“So dark and disturbing you read with one eye open, unable to look away -riveted by what’s playing out before your very eyes as Keri Lake takes you on a twisted rollercoaster flying in different directions at great speed.” -Totally Booked Blog

“Once again Keri Lake has given us a wonderfully engaging story which sucks you into a whole other world, making you feel everything and revel in the brutal underworld that she has created. It’s a book you experience,not just read, and if you’re in the mood for this sort of story, it’s going to blow you away with its dark intensity.” -Escapist Book Blog

Idol by Kristen Callihan….Review Tour

IDOL
VIP SERIES
By Kristen Callihan
Release Day: June 7, 2016

Libby

I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more.

He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?

Killian

As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles.

Until Liberty. She’s grouchy, a recluse —and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name.

The world is clamoring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.

Amazon: http://amzn.to/1TWfxJV
iBooks: http://apple.co/1NMnNj8

So, I am being extremely brave by saying this, but this is my first Kristen Callihan book I have ever read. And my only question is WHY?? What rock have I been hiding under that I have not read any of her books before?!?!

I absolutely loved Idol. I have come to realize I have slight obsession with the rockstar romance, but it has to be written perfectly. Otherwise, I am extremely judgmental. And Kristen, well she rocks this one!!

Killian is part of the band Kill John. He becomes a lawn ornament on Liberty Bell’s lawn one day. And well, she gives him the welcome of a lifetime. Only to find out that he is also her new neighbor. However, she is unaware of who he is.

Libby tends to keep to herself and doesn’t get out much. She’s not exactly a hermit, but she’s definitely anti-social. Libby is dealing with the loss of her parents and has a hard time moving forward from that.

Killian is on “vacation” when he literally crashes into Libby (or her yard). His band is sort of working things out and he’s lost his feeling to play anymore. That is until one night he hears Libby and everything comes into focus.

Libby blows Killian way with her voice, song writing ability and her grace on the guitar. She lights the fire that he thought was gone. These two have amazing jam sessions and begin writing songs and music together.

Killian and the boys are ready to go back on tour and Killian pulls Libby out of her funk and brings her on the tour with them. Not just to be by side, but to help her realize that her music isn’t a hobby, but a talent that everyone needs to hear. But as with every relationships – there are many highs and lows, up and downs. Especially when both are in the lime light of fame.

What I loved most about this book was how mature these characters were. They didn’t play childish games. They didn’t allow the world to infiltrate them. And their relationship blossomed from a solid base. They didn’t just jump into bed together – it was a true connection that gave them something to see it was more than lust. Don’t get me wrong, the sex scenes were hot, but a lot of it had to do with the honest and real love they had that made these scenes even steamier.

Another part that pulled me to this book was how well the music was written in this book. It’s not just the mentioning of the songs, but their interpretations and the feelings and vibes each of those songs has to someone. I LOVED THAT!!!

All in all, this book is 100% perfect for me in the rockstar romance!!! It’s very well rounded and has so much awesomeness, I couldn’t put it down once I started. This book can be read as a standalone in this series. I can’t wait to see what Kristen brings us next!

EXCERPT

“You know,” I say conversationally, as I kick back, “I want to fuck you right now.”
Libby jerks as if pinched and sits a little straighter, before getting a hold of herself and slouching as if she’s completely chill. Cute.
She gives me a smirk and sips her water before drawling, “And what? Mark your territory? Assert your manly dominance?”
“Yep.” I slide my gaze to hers. “But mostly I just want to fuck you all the time.”
God, I love the way her lips part and body flushes with heat. So subtle, but there all the same. It makes me hard as steel, my balls squeezing tight. I don’t look at her but pretend I’m observing the room. The lights are dimming for the movie now, the empty chairs in front of us obscuring our lower halves.
Slowly my hand falls to space between us and smooths along her hip. She delicately shivers as my fingers trace down her thigh.
“What about you,” I murmur, lightly toying with her skirt in the darkening room. “You want to fuck me, baby doll?”
“Right now, I want to kick you,” she gets out between clenched teeth. “Keep your hands to yourself. There are nosy ass people everywhere.”
“They’re all watching the movie. Not us.” Focusing on the screen, I keep my expression neutral as I ease my hand under her skirt. Her skin is smooth and warm. The movie starts in a blast of music and the familiar old logo as I trace over her knee and up her soft thigh. “And that wasn’t a ‘no.’”
She makes a cute growl in the back of her throat, but her legs part just enough to give me room to delve between them. Her inner thighs are hot and damp, and my cock twitches.
The storyline rolls along, my touch idly roams. Libby remains utterly still but I can practically feel the tension vibrating within her. When the tip of my finger skims the crease where her thigh meets her hip, her breath catches, legs parting wider.
“Have I mentioned how much I appreciated this new skirt-filled wardrobe?” I whisper, lightly drawing circles along her skin.
“Brenna’s idea.” Her hips shift just a bit, following my touch. “Right now, I’m missing my shorts.”
I smile, my eyes on the screen, my fingers drifting to the edge of her panties. “Later, you can put them on and we’ll play ‘Fuck the Farmer’s Daughter.’”
She grunts, a stifled laugh, which turns to a strangled whimper when I pluck her panties. Her voice turns breathy. “I’m trying to watch the damn movie. I’m not interested in fooling around.” She moves a tiny fraction, nudging against my finger.
In the dark, I grin, heat and lust pulling my abs tight. “I’m sorry,” I say, not sorry at all, “But I don’t believe you. I’m gonna have to check.”

Remi’s Choice by Amanda Wylde….Release Blitz & Review

Title: Remi’s Choice

Author: Amanda Wylde #MysteryAuthor

Synopsis:

Sinfully sexy Travis De Luca came into Remi’s life when she was young, inexperienced, and easily dazzled. With his scandalous words and wickedly sexy grins, he possessed a power no one should have over another. He was a foul mouthed, trouble-making thug to everyone else, but she’d witnessed the vulnerable side he hid so well. After one earth-shattering experience and his declaration of love, her bodyand soul were hooked.

When Travis is sent away without warning, Kristiano De Luca—his equally sexy cousin—comes into Remi’s life as a friendwhen she needs one most. After years with no word and waiting for Travis to come back, she loses hope, and the friendship she’s built with Kris grows intosomethingbeautiful that fills the void Travis left behind.

But a surprise return from Travis and one passionate night with him throw all their lives into chaos, and nothing will ever be the same again.

Author’s note to reader: Imagine two heroes with your all time favorite qualities. Hot, bad boy, tattoos, dirty mouths, hot head alpha to a fault and possessive as ALL hell. Both going for the same girl!

I was so excited to jump into this book after Amanda contacted me asking if I could read this in exchange for an honest review. And she went beyond my expectations.

Remi’s Choice is a love triangle but not what you would think. Travis and Remi have known each other since they were kids – she used to babysit him and his younger brothers. But then he’s quickly pulled from their lives and she never hears from him again.

Kris is Travis’ cousin but they aren’t exactly close and when Kris moves in with Travis’ family, he becomes close to Remi. Kris and Remi build on their friendship and just when Remi is finally ready to give Kris more, Travis rolls back into Remi’s life. But will Remi make the right choice? The man who is very right for her or the man who’s willing to be her everything?

I love how Amanda works this plot out. Its not an easy, that’s for damn sure. Remi is torn and really, can you blame the woman?? Two extremely hot Italian men want her! *fans self* What I really enjoyed was being able to read this book from all three of their POV’s. You get to see Remi’s struggle with what she wants and what she feels is right. Travis’ indecision to fight for what he wants or continue on the path he was on. Kris’ inner battle with himself – is he reading too far into things or is it really just the stress of both their new jobs causing the tension?

Amanda makes her characters feel very real – their decisions, interactions and how they handle things makes this book very life-like. She kept them true to who they are. Just because a girl walks into their lives, they don’t become a totally different person or start acting totally different.

I enjoyed reading everything play out like I was watching a movie. I could easily picture every scene. And some of those sex sense – WOAH!! I really liked every bit of this book!

I can’t wait to see what she brings us next!

Sneak Peak:

“Why do I make you so nervous?” I ask, breathing in the scent of her insecurity.

“I don’t know,” she whispers back, not denying that I do, like I knew she wouldn’t.

Remi may be eighteen, but her body’s reaction to me is exactly what a girl her age should be—innocently enthralled. I almost envy it. My innocence is long gone, but hers is exactly what draws me to her. She enthralls me like no other girl ever has. What I feel when I know she’ll be around, makes me feel strangely innocent too. It makes my heart feel so crazy. Except unlike Remi, I’m better at concealing it.

“I know you’re a virgin, Cherry.” She nods as her eyes close for a moment. “But has anyone ever licked your pussy?” Her eyes shoot open; her face turns such a deep shade of red I have to laugh. “I’ll take that as a no.”

No matter how unbreakable he may seem, every man has a weakness.

A year ago, my home became a bloodstained crime scene. That night marked the beginning of my hell—the same night I was tortured by my enemies and tossed into an underground prison to die.

They failed. I survived.

Now that I’m free, only one motive burns in my soul: revenge.

Lucky for me, they think Jase Hawkins is dead. Maybe I am. I’ve got nothing but a cold, merciless rage, and Black Betty, the sharp steel blade that never leaves my side.

Then she drifts into my life.

Lucia wants answers—so much so, she’s willing to fall into the darkness where my enemies lie in wait, to kill her for what she knows.

Or to take her for the depraved fantasies her body alone can rouse in a man’s mind.

Me? I want her for the fire in her touch that feeds my addiction, forces me to feel what has become numb, but my appetite for bloodshed runs deeper than flesh.

For my own sanity, I’ve vowed to stay away from her. Because she’s my only weakness, an obsession that leaves me craving more—one that could make even the most steadfast plan backfire.

I give him a skeptical look. “You want to show me your dick?”

“If it’ll help convince you.” He drains the last drops of his Scotch and stands up. “Come on, let’s go.”

I stare after him as he walks away.

Is he serious? He’s just going to whip it out? I look around to see if anyone is watching me, then I get up and follow him to the bar’s back hallway, near the restrooms, unable to comprehend why the hell I’m humoring him. This is ridiculous.

Once we’re safely in a private corner, Noah undoes his belt, opens his fly . . . and pulls out a fucking fire hose.

Holy mother of God. My hands fly to my mouth. I want to gasp in shock, but there’s no way I’m giving him the upper hand.

He was right. His cock is nothing short of massive, and it’s not even fully erect right now. Nine inches may actually be a conservative estimate of what it might look like hard. He must destroy men’s egos every time he walks into a locker room. And I don’t even want to think about what he destroys with women . . .

“Meh. I’ve seen bigger,” I force out, fighting to maintain my composure.

Noah chuckles. “I don’t think so, sweetheart.”

“Well, th-that monster is not coming anywhere near my uterus. No, thank you. I prefer to keep my organs intact.”

Noah’s grin widens. “I doubt that, but just to be on the safe side, I’ll ease it in nice and slow. Piece of cake. Plus, you’ve got good health insurance, right?”

“That is not funny, Noah. Now, put that thing away or I’ll remove it.”

I try to sound stern, but my shaking voice and bright red cheeks surely give me away. Why the hell can’t I stop staring?

He chuckles—yeah, the jerk can definitely see right through me—but he obliges, tucking the beast back into its lair.

A New York Times, Wall Street Journal, and USA Today bestselling author of more than a dozen titles, Kendall Ryan has sold over 1.5 million books and her books have been translated into several languages in countries around the world.

Book Blurb:

Colt Rayburn loved Aiden Delvin, once. A lifetime ago. Before duty and the Marines took him a world away, chewed him up and spit him out.
Aiden would have waited forever for Colt to come back. But Colt didn’t want that, and he’s rebuilt his life. Without the man he loves.
When Colt comes home from a deployment that went wrong, Aiden is there. Inexplicably back in Green County and impossible to resist. He swore he’d never go back to that place, never destroy Aiden the way he had when he walked away the first time.
But Aiden grew up and changed too, while Colt played war hero.
Both of them know what they want. After all this time. But can a love story that destroyed them once be rebuilt, when life and duty still hangs over them both…

Exclusive Excerpt:
Hell is being forced to look. To watch Colt from behind the lens of my camera, his sexy little smirk, and the not-quite bedroom smile, a soft twist of the lips that tugs hard at me.
It’s not the smile I got, after sex when we were lazy and he was half asleep against my shoulder. It’s just a little bit guarded. But it’s close enough.
Close enough that desire skitters like a living thing along my skin as I watch him.
I don’t have to tell him what to do. Colt was my first live subject, a lifetime ago. Photographing him is as easy as breathing, and as painful as stabbing knives.
I want to demand to know why he was pushing, in the USO building.
He had wanted to kiss me.
“Aiden!” Colt calls, and it snaps me from my thoughts. He looks amazing in a dark green t-shirt that’s too tight across his broad chest, and camo pants that hang like pure perfection on his lean hips.
He looks every inch the Marine.
When Colt told me he was leaving, I didn’t believe him.
And then he did, and it was so….wrong. So unbelievable, that I did the only thing I knew how to do—I shoved everything that remotely reminded me of him away. I left Green County, and I left Remi and Brian and Shelly. The family that had adopted me because Colt Rayburn loved me.
I left my favorite brother, and the entire world that I knew.
All of it was like a knife, straight to the gut, and when I got off that plane in New York, I pulled the knife out.
I let the wound heal.
Except.
There was always a piece that was left behind. The tip of the knife, broken off and lodged under my skin. Colt was lodged under my skin, and as much as I wanted to be free of him, I couldn’t be.
Even when I healed, and allowed myself to move on—even when I was with other people—Colt was with me. A part of me.
And now….
Now he’s here, and he’s giving me that smirk, all Marine Corps bad boy. The favorite son of Green County, the fucking war hero.
And it twists, that damn piece of Colt deep inside me, twists and it’s pure agony.
