<b><b>~ SYNOPSIS ~</b></b></div>
<b>
</b>Smut sells.</div>
<div>
Michael Rourke learned this the hard way.<br />
<br />
Struggling to make ends meet as a mystery writer, he sold his soul - and his pride - as he pedaled sex and lust writing under the pen name Christoph Strong.<br />
<br />
No one knew he was the one behind the steamy stories on the bestsellers lists. And he planned to keep it that way.<br />
<br />
Until he met her.<br />
<br />
Monica Singer, an infamous blogger, is keen to discover the truth of his secret identity.<br />
<br />
During a chance meeting at a book convention, Michael and Monica form an instant connection. And soon, an innocent online friendship becomes something so much more.<br />
<br />
But as Michael starts to let his guard down, he doesn’t realize that the person he's learning to trust may be hiding secrets of her own.<br />
<br />
Secrets that could ultimately destroy everything.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #181818; font-family: Georgia, serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: 19.31999969482422px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay let me say this first... For Grant's first book, she knocked this one clear out of the park and maybe the parking lot! Okay that said let's move into the story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You start out with a Prologue that has you taking a shuttered breath with the intensity of the emotions that Grant was able to elicit from the reader (me). Lani is broken. But it's more than that really. Have you ever wondered how much you miss that sits right at the end of your nose? Sometimes we focus so much on the what's in front of us or behind us that we miss what sits there at the tip of our nose. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now, being a person who can relate to this story in a way, there were parts that had me in tears. What made it possible was Grant's incredible ability to describe the characters emotions without drowning me in details. I love knowing what my characters are seeing and feeling, but I don't need to know down to the speck of dust that fell to the ground. Grant gave me just enough to set me up and allowed me to fill in the rest. Because she was able to pull this off, it allowed me to fully dive into the story.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay all that aside, Lani marries the man that at first meeting she HATES. He was a best friend of her best friend, Parker. Oh, Parker. Talk about a loyal, caring, loving, seriously good looking man. If I had a best friend like that I'd certainly keep an EXTRA eye (and maybe more LMAO!!!) on him. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Tragedy hits Lani when she's already weak. Things haven't been picture perfect in her life for a while, not that she's told anyone that. Not even her best friend. After that... nothing is the same and Lani starts losing herself. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Parker who has loved her for so long, but never spoke on it, has to make a choice. Does he tell Lani everything he's finding out about Kade, her husband and his best friend? If he tells her, he'll be the one breaking her and he'd never dream of hurting her. Eventually the decision is made for Parker.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">GAH! For Lani she feels like she's been tossed out to sea with no life jacket. She's drowning and at times isn't even sure she wants to keep going. The strength that eminates from Parker has my heart skipping a beat. Parker truly would have walked into the flames of hell if it'd save Lani any pain. I loved loved loved Parker. hahahaha</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">JR Grant did such an amazing job on this book. It will leave you breathless, tear stricken, hopeful and so much more. I can't recommend this book enough. JR Grant has quickly jumped into my "Must Watch Authors" list and I can't wait to read more from her. If you haven't read this book, I can't stress what a heart touching story you are missing. If you've ever been loved and lied to, you can seriously relate to this book. If you haven't.... Hello there's Parker... need I say more? LMAO!!!!!!!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Harper Reagan has been through everything a woman could possibly go through. Losing her parents and entering foster care, only to be abused by her foster father. Running away at fifteen, she enters the world’s oldest profession to survive. And survive she did. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Barely...</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
If you call abuse, counted as property and tortured to no end surviving then that was what she did…survived. Her life was spared, but at what cost. Long ago Harper had died. Today, due to those decisions she made, she is left existing with no choice to do anything else. Staring the devil in the face daily for as long as she did, left its mark and pain behind for her to live with forever.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The pain of that survival scars her deeper than any physical wound she's ever received. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Harper is finally living a better life and has a great business, friends, and a home finally her own. She will do anything to keep her past hidden, including jeopardizing her only chance at love and a truly good man.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Breccan Caldwell is everything Harper doesn't deserve. He's gorgeous, successful, caring and a true gentleman.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can Breccan show Harper who she truly is? Or will he be pushed out by the darkness she allows herself to be consumed with?</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Friday night at the bar was busy. Every table was full all night and the bar was packed as well. I couldn’t have been happier. It was ten o’clock as I was making my rounds through the crowd checking tables and helping Emma, Beth and Mya, my waitresses, out. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I had just finished setting down a round of shots at a table full of sorority girls and turned around to go back to the bar, when I felt a tingle start at the top of my head and move toward my groin. When it settled and my clit began to throb I just knew. I knew it was my Adonis.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here at last.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Dammit.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was hoping I could just go through life without this temptation. It’s okay Harper. You wore your big girl panties tonight so quit being such a fucktwat and grow a pair. I make my way to the bar as if I notice nothing and set the tray down for Mark and Rory, my bartenders tonight.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I head towards the end of the bar to take care of some orders I need to make, when I feel his presence beating against me from behind. It’s like he already owns my body. My skin begins to tingle, my heartbeat speeds up, and my breathing becomes shallow as I try to control it. I can feel the vein in my neck throbbing relentlessly. On the outside I know I appear composed and nonchalant, but inside- inside- I feel ready to burst. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I just want Adonis to grab me, throw me on the bar and fill me as I know only he can at this moment. He brings both arms around me so that his hands are resting on the bar and he has me trapped between it and himself. He leans in and I can feel his breath wash over my exposed neck. I inhale his scent: soap, Armani and Adonis. God, I want him to bend me over. A million different scenarios run through my mind of how to close down the bar so I can please this man.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And that’s when I stop and ice runs through my veins. I spent four years pleasing men. I was not going down that path again.</div>
<br /></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>MY REVIEW</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Ok so I read the first book loved it and couldn't wait until the second book came out it was a little delayed but so worth the wait. Jessica knows how to catch the readers attention not only by her words but damn let me tell you the hot sex and love story together made it so much better.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">In book one you meet Beccan Cadwell one of Americas most eligible bachelors, playboy and known for building his company from the ground up. You also meet Harper Reagan who had a dark past and thought she would never find love cause of it. She had three really close friends that were her family Nikko, Avery and Brynn. they helped thru everything good and bad and even the ugly.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">As you get into book two it was an adventure from the beginning it was like reading a action movie with lots of action both in the bedroom and other areas of the story, you just have to read to find out. This really was a page turner on trying to find out what was going to happen next. Sorry for being to cryptic but I really don't want to give the story away.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">During all that was going on you get to meet Duncan Peters, who is Duncan you ask well he is from Samantha Fontiens series Dragonfiles the Duncan Peters Files he is a special opps type of guy and totally hot you need to check it out. So there is one clue about the book they needed someone with Duncan's background. I told you it was an adventure.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">Breccan and Harper (Dove) go thru a lot in the beginning in both books but it's a new relationship so things always are a little crazy right. Breccan needs to find a way to get back his "Dove" and as much as Harper fights she knows she needs him in her life more than she realizes it. this love story brings you the ups and downs in relationships and life that have major outside forces trying to bring it down. Harper's past was not a good one and cause a lot of conflicts. Harper starts to feel more like a burden then anything else with her dark past always following her and causing her friends harm. But she is willing to risk it all even her Breccan her Adonis.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222;">I really enjoyed reading this second book but I must warn you have a few yes I said few change of panties to get you thru this book maybe even a BOB lol. This book is a roller coaster ride packed with adventure. An I hope you will enjoy it as much as I did.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
It’s been years since I lived and breathed this way. Years since I had to wonder what would happen next. I’ve been lucky; living the good life and having whatever I wanted. I suppose I couldn’t really have it all; too greedy. It was never about money, though…. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was about being out of this life, having something more.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Living.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I don’t know if Nikko and Breccan know yet what has happened, or if they can even do anything about it. I imagine they will try and I hope they succeed, but how in the hell are they even going to find me? I don’t even know where I am or how I got here. How can two people that weren’t there do anything about it?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I look around the mostly dark room. The walls are a grayish color which looks to be from stains to the once white walls. The carpet is dark, almost a greenish color. There is a small bed in the corner with a table and a lamp that hardly sheds any light in this room. It smells musty in here, like a cemented basement. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe it is a basement.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I was unconscious when they took me and woke up in this room. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I sigh and sit up on the bed so that I am facing the door. My hands are still tied with nylon rope and my wrists are raw, so it hurts to move them too much.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The door starts to open and I watch.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He walks in with the same grimy smile he always had. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I hate you!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He walks closer to the bed, looks down at me and says, “Hey, babe. You’ve been busy. Looks like it’s time to pay your dues. Pants off. Now.”</div>

Jessica grew up in a small town in Southern Iowa. She went to nursing school and became a nurse only to realize her passion was in writing and reading. She loves to spend her time with friends and is very close with her family. It took her a long time to realize she even had a joy of reading. Once having declared there was no point when the books always became movies. At twenty four she discovered how wrong she was and became obsessed with reading and made up for lost time by doing it nonstop. She began writing when dozens of ideas kept flowing through her mind that she knew she had to get out.<br />

<span style="font-weight: bold;">Blurb</span></h4>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
<span style="color: #181818;">Kenza nightclub owner, Ruben McKenzie can have any woman he wants, but the only woman he wants is Rosie—his sweet innocent employee, who happens to be eleven years his junior. Watching her parade her hot little body around his club, serving drinks completely unaware of the attention she attracts is driving him to distraction. But when he sees a regular getting close to her, all bets are off.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">Rosie has had more than enough life experience, but when it comes to matters of the heart—the one place that Ruben wants in—she’s completely innocent. Having no family of her own, it’s a dream to be invited to a McKenzie family gathering. Rosie always wanted to belong to a family like the McKenzie’s, but she’s afraid that if she gives her heart to Ruben and things don’t work she’ll be crushed, beyond repair.</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">Neither one of them may be able to keep their distance for long. The trouble that has been brewing at Kenza finally comes to a head, and when Rosie finds herself caught up in it, how far will Ruben go to protect her?</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">~*~*~*~</span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">In this third installment of the McKenzie Brothers series you’ll learn more about the two remaining brothers, Lucien and Ramon. New players, Hunter and Julian, will be introduced. </span><br style="color: #181818;" /><br style="color: #181818;" /><span style="color: #181818;">None of my books have cliffhangers and they can be read as standalone, but to get the full background on the rest of the family then I do suggesting reading Seduce, The Wedding and Rapture first.</span></h5>

<b><span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;">My Review</span></b></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lexi Buchanan has done it again. She has left me freaking speechless. Each book I read from her seems to only get better and better. Easily on the top of my Top 10 favorite authors. If you haven't read any of the McKenzie Brothers books yet, you are seriously missing out. These men... wow! You are seriously missing out.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So Ruben has been a curious one for me (and Lucien and he's next EEEKKKKK). I was curious as to how she'd play it out, how he really was. What I loved was how the story built from the last one into this one. It was great transitioning from one story to the next. Seamless.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The interactions between brothers is just as great in this one as in the rest of them. Their remarks and pokes between each other always crack me up. I was glad to have confirmation for something I was thinking the whole time. Well sort of confirmation LOL.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Rosie broke my heart. Her story. Her life. But damn if she still didn't have one huge heart that only beat for Ruben. She was strong and determined. Honestly the best match for hunky elusive Ruben.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Ruben was everything I'd hoped for an more. Easily my favorite one thus far (But I'm SO eager for Lucien's). His passion. His drive. His moral standards are all reasons that have you swooning over him... BUT there is one part that if I could have I would have reached into my kindle and beat him. Grrr even knowing the reason... Grrr LOL</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book will have you pulled into the story from page one AND that freaking Epilogue! OMG! I wanted to scream! I needed more, that was just wrong Ms. Buchnanan, do you hear me? Just WRONG! If there is one book you pick up and buy.... Get this one! You won't be let down! HURRY with Lucien's story!</span></div>

<strong>Excerpt</strong></h4>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
Turning, I start walking upstairs with an added sway to my hips. Halfway up, I nearly stumble when I feel his hands on my hips, and then I do stumble and end up on my hands and knees on the stairs when he bites me on the bottom.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
I can’t think, his hands are everywhere; on my breasts, my belly, my hips, and my legs before he moves under my skirt and rubs me between my thighs. Moaning, I drop forward with Ruben following me.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
“You’re so wet. Have you got any idea how hot it is, knowing I make you so wet? I need to taste you.”</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
Ruben wraps his arms around my waist and hauls me up a few more stairs to the landing. Turning me in his arms, he lays me down and stays kneeling on the stairs between my spread legs.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
My skirt is around my hips as Rubens slides his hands up my thighs to my panties, which he rips from my body. Holding them to his nose, he closes his eyes and inhales before shoving them into his pocket.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
He strokes between my nether lips, coating his fingers in my wetness—driving me crazy. Losing all inhibitions, I yank my shirt over my head, following it with my bra.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
“Fuck, Rosie,” Ruben hisses staring at my breasts.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
Wanting to tease him, I bring my hands up and play with my nipples as I hear Ruben cussing before he inserts a finger inside me. I arch up from the floor in pleasure, not wanting him to stop.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
My hands drop from my breasts when I feel Ruben’s very talented mouth on me—his tongue lapping me up before darting in and out of my channel.</h5>
<h5 style="text-align: center;">
Threading my fingers into his hair, he holds my quivering thighs open while he goes to town on me. I’ve never come this way before, but I feel the ball of fire gathering in my belly—the tightening in my nipples…</h5>

This is a story of Sean Miller, a dom that will have your panties diving for cover with an eyebrow quirk. That will have even the strongest woman dropping to their knees in submission with a piercing stare, and Samantha Richards, a female cop who’s tough, seemingly impenetrable shell is strong enough to resist everyone except the one man it was build up to protect her against.<br />
<br />
**Disclaimer – If you thought the first two Bliss books were hot, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Creative use of handcuffs, batons, a club scene you have to read to believe, and a tough as nails dominant who is blindsided when the one woman strong enough to disarm him threatens his resolve not to let his past dictate his future.**<br />
<br />
Like the other books in the Bliss series, this book can be read as a stand alone. There are common characters in the books but it is not necessary to read the first two books in the series to read this one.<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Kia and myself absolutely love this series so we thought it only fitting that for this book it be by the both of us. So you'll be getting both our points of view as you go through this review. The consensus by the both of us... THIS WAS BJ'S BEST BOOK TO DATE!!!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #c27ba0; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>PJ's Words about <i><u>Blissful Surrender</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Here I am having finished yet another book by BJ Harvey and I FREAKING loved it! She has knocked it out of the freaking parking lot with this one. It is hotter than the last two, BUT the story is so engaging and it pulls you so strongly that when it ends you're left going... awwww it's over. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Sean can speak everything with just his eyes. His eyes are the voice that have many cowering at his feet. He is a force to be reckoned with and balks or bows to no one at any time. But everyone has a weakness... His comes in the form of a woman. A woman he calls Sammy.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Samantha is known around the police station as the "Ice Queen". She owns the title, but when her past suddenly crosses path with her present sends Samantha to her friends with liquor in hand. But more importantly, she views him as her one mistake. Will Sean be able to thaw the "Ice Queen's" heart? Or will she lock up tighter than ever before and run away?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The heat between Sam and Sean when they meet again after so many years is intense. It throws both the characters and the reader for a loop. LOL. You seriously connect that well with Sam and Sean. Sean may like his control and may call himself a Dom, but there is one person in his life that has been the only one to hold him. That's his Sammy. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">But how far can he put himself out there before he runs the risk of losing it all again?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book was so amazing. The push pull between the characters was amazing. Oh and need I say I found a soft spot for Sean's brother Ryan. I'd really love to see more from him even if it's a novella or something. He needs a good woman to settle him. To control him hahaha. Okay sorry back to the main characters. Their stories entwine with Zander and Kate (Hilarious meeting there! So totally have to read for that). Plus you meet Rico and Helen. I have to say I'd love more from them as well.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Having read everyone of BJ's books, her growth is undeniable. The strength in her writing is phenomenal and I can't wait to read more from her. The hottness level in the book is pretty damn high. You have been warned. All I can say is Sean could spank me any time he had the itch. I'd gladly take a few on the @$$ for that man LMAO!!! Job well done BJ!!! </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #e06666; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Kia's Words about <i><u>Blissful Surrender</u></i></b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">Ok so let me start out by saying I have been waiting for this book to come out and honestly this is the best in the series, now don't get me wrong I loved the others but this one takes the cake.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">So it's confession time I really never liked Sean in the first books. Yes he's a Dom and not saying I don't like Doms because lord only knows I do but he just never did anything for me. OMG in this book Sean has been made me want to find him and jump his bones ( side note I really wish he was real because I would cuff him to my bed and never let him out of my sight or maybe the other way around which ever I'll take it) he is my new very worthy BBF. He had come alive in this book more ways than one he is really that good.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">Sammy ( Sam, Samantha) Sean calls her Sammy he can call me Sammy too if he wanted but that's another story. Yes she is a hard core "ice queen" but once she lets her true self show she is also funny, cute and loving person. She's a cop you have to be hard or you get walked all over. Thing about Sammy is that when she is out of here uniform she is a sexy blonde that knows how to carry herself and look good in anything she wears. She also doesn't want a full time man because it would interfere with her work and that's what comes first she more the type that likes a friend with benefits type of girl. The reason being she had a love long time ago and from that point it kind of broke her.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">It's funny how fate sometimes comes back to give people second chances, sometimes even more just to get it right. This book proves it in so many ways. It was really wonderful how it explained how everything happen and why.. It also shows true friendship and even people who might not be true blood family still can qualify as family.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; text-align: start;">Now I know the question is are they going to go all in, well you just have to read to find out . I can tell you this not any hard core dom or sub thing but it's really hot enough you will need a change in panties so you been warned. Maybe a little spanking too just put it this way it's not a book to pass up AT ALL so go one click now.</span></span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: large;">My best friend was dying and I was in love with his girl.<br /><br />Andy and I had been best friends since we were eight-years old.</span></div>
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<span style="color: black; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-size: large;">Watching him slowly fade away, ever closer to his final breath, made me so incredibly angry. I knew there was nothing I could do to change it--I had given in to despair, but Andy had not. He had one last hand to play. <br /><br />He wasn't going to simply sit back and wait for Death to claim him--not Andy. He was going to live life until he couldn't hold his eyes open any longer.<br /><br />Andy didn't want to die in some sterile hospital and asked me to take him and Emily to the beach. It would be our last road trip together.<br /><br />Emily. Emily was a problem for me. <br /><br />I harbored a secret that would have torn our friendship apart. I was in love with Andy's girl, and had been since she'd walked into our sixth grade class, so many years ago.<br /><br />So what kind of person am I? My best friend is dying, and it's awful--but my heart still aches for his girl. I hate myself for thinking beyond Andy's death and whether there could ever be a future for Emily and I, but I can't help it. <br /><br />I'm in love with her.</span></span></div>

<strong><span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">
</span></strong></div>
<div dir="ltr">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Seventeen-year-old VERONICA SMITH has it all: a loving family, a funky car named Jezebel, and a plan to go to college after graduation. On the first day of senior year, she meets DIMITRI GLENN--a mysterious transfer student with gray eyes and a mischievous smile who seems determined to win her heart. But there's something odd about Dimitri, leading Veronica to wonder if there's more to him than meets the eye. Before long, she finds herself in a whirlwind romance that seems too good to be true--until a series of devastating events leaves her questioning everything. It's not until she chooses to think with her heart instead of her mind that she can rise from the ashes to learn the truth of their connection.</span></div>

<span style="color: #990000; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-large;"><b>REVIEW</b></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<em><strong><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Normally I do not post ratings with my reviews, but this book definitely deserve a full five stars and then some. This book will make you look at life a bit differently, through your heart instead of your brain.</span></strong></em></div>
<div dir="ltr">
</div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When I first saw this book, I thought it might be the book to break my slump. Then life interferes, but I found the time and boy am I glad I did. This book did cure my slump, but created another problem all its own. I'm trying my hardest to push this book from my mind, in short I have a <b>MAJOR </b>book hangover! LOL</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book is hard to review and honestly it's not because there were not good things because there was some <b>AMAZING </b>things, but because of the uniqueness of this story I fear of spoiling one of the mysteries it holds. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Veronica and Dimitri are one of the most amazing strong and well written couples I've read. Though the book takes place in high school neither are their age emotionally. Their emotions, functions, thoughts are all beyond their years. I also have to say that the supporting characters were just as strong as they were which really pulled me into the book more.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The tears, the laughter, the pain, this book holds every emotion all wrapped around a love bigger than Veronica could ever imagine. There are typical issues that all high school students are presented with, but there are other underlining issues that make this story so unique and intriguing. The heartache that she has to go through before she realizes that sometimes your brain misses out on the obvious things your heart already understands.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The growth of each of the characters (not just the main ones) shows the understanding the author has of her characters. They all developed and grew at different stages which sets the story up as more life like because not all of us mature at the same rate.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This book is definitely one that will stick with me for a while. It has changed the way I see the obvious and look deeper to see what could be lying beneath the surface of each decision I make. I can't wait to read more from this author! </span></div>

I’m a simple girl. I adore my family and friends, reading, writing, music, and iced coffee. I work full-time in accounting (because I’m in love with basic needs … like food and shelter … and my job provides the means to those) but I spend every free moment I can writing. I’m a late bloomer. I woke up one morning four years ago, at the age of 36, and said to myself, “What the heck are you doing? You’ve always wanted to write a book. Stop wasting time and get on it!” Four, long years later I self-published All of It. I must admit there’s nothing quite like sharing something you’re so intimately connected with, like a book, with others. It’s terrifying to put yourself out there. But when someone tells you how much they love your book or that it made them cry, it makes my heart want to burst. Not because it’s my book, my creation, but because I know what it’s like to love a book that much. It’s magical.</div>

<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">So I had the wonderful pleasure of getting an ARC of Impluses by VL. Brock of her debut and this is my long over due review. First I would like to say for a first book she knocked it out the box. It had everything that you can want in a book plus some.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Meet Samantha A.K.A Sam who you can say made some wrong choices in her life after a relationship she thought she was in love but the man she was with belittled her cheated and broke her heart so after that she was done with relationships not to turn back down that road ever again. She started living her life in a wild way by having many one night stands with many different men for the next five years that she would meet in clubs and bars and never look back. Until one day she goes for a job interview and meets Hayden Wentworth of Wentworth & Associates Law Firm.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxsYg-0dQi5MPQlN5ARgfFztV69e7LtnAmobP1otDZEQD9kx0I3JSktKvbZGxBXMM9GSYUPL3JinqRUJaqAOgQjSevjmokbrDacCHaNSrMfssy7p5Dixt1ObCaKfDweWarQQSJ-B8Nv_w/s1600/image+(1).jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhxsYg-0dQi5MPQlN5ARgfFztV69e7LtnAmobP1otDZEQD9kx0I3JSktKvbZGxBXMM9GSYUPL3JinqRUJaqAOgQjSevjmokbrDacCHaNSrMfssy7p5Dixt1ObCaKfDweWarQQSJ-B8Nv_w/s1600/image+(1).jpeg" height="320" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Meet my Hayden (swoon) so OMG he is the most kindest, patient and lovable man ever. Now don't get me wrong he himself has also been in a trying relationship that pretty much took a toll on him and the people surrounding him in his circle. Once the story starts unfolding you may want to take Addison ( Hayden's ex) to a back alley and do some damage she is that vindictive. Now you are going to have to read the book to find out why. Ok back to Hayden he owns a Law firm he's tall has a hot body and chocolate brown eyes to die for now if that dose t scream new book boyfriend than I don't know what else you can be looking for.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Sam with her demons of her past is very doubtful of ever having a serious relationship and seems that if something seems off her impulse is to get out of quickly and not look back. Where Hayden believes that you have to work on a relationship and go through your trials and errors especially if you love someone and need to prove your love to them and make them believe that they are not the person that was with you before.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">Impulses will have you on a roller coaster ride of a relationship but it will make you realize that if you work hard enough on something you believe in it's worth it. Even though some of your impulses maybe wrong you have to be truthful to yourself and your partner to make it work. it also shows you how to two broken hearts can be mended back together once you find the one who completes you.</span><br />
<br style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">V.L. Brock really did an outstanding job and left a lasting impression with me I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.</span><br />

Synopsis:<br />
<div style="margin-bottom: 5px; margin-top: 5px;">
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /></span>Alluring Ties is a companion novella to the Bayou Stix series. It’s Book 2.5 Bayou Stix. In Alluring Turmoil, we were introduced to Lexi Sloane’s two best friends, Bradi and Erik. Alluring Ties will take you on a journey into their pasts and bring you to their present.<br /><br />Bradi St. James is a force to be reckoned with. She’s strong, independent, and has something to prove. All of her life, she’s watched the world around her and is determined to have a different fate from what she’s grown up with. The path you’ve always believed to be the right path, may not be your destiny after all.<br /><br />Erik Jenson is a kind man. A nurturer and the kind of friend everyone wants to have. Growing up surrounded by friends and family who support him, he’s a confident man. The choices he must make and the chances he must take as he lives and grows make him the strong, loving man he becomes.<br /><br />Alluring Ties contains explicit sex, including some male/male, strong language and is not intended for anyone under the age of 18 or anyone who does not like M/M romance.</span></div>

<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Disclaimer from Bradi St. James</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">Alluring Ties is NOT a full length novel, but is a companion novella to the Bayou Stix series.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">It is recommended to be read in this order:</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">Alluring Turmoil, Book 1 Bayou Stix</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">Alluring Seduction, Book 2 Bayou Stix</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">Alluring Ties, Book 2.5 Bayou Stix</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">There are some situations which are not for everyone included in this novella: cheating, male/male romance and sex, and like all of Skye’s books, explicit language and hot ass sex.</span><br />
<span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-style: italic;">If you can’t handle it, don’t read it. It’s that simple. But if you want to know more about myself and Erik, then turn the page and get started!</span></div>

Kia's Review:</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
<br /></div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;">
Alluring Ties by Skye Turner was a wonderful compliment to Alluring Seduction and Alluring Turmoil. Even though this book is a 2.5 in the series it is packed full with a lot Alluring things that book 1&2 you might of felt well why is Erik like this and why is Bradi such a crazy out going girl. Well you will find out in this book. It only took me a day to read so that was even better and as always Skye knows how to make you laugh and yell at your Kindle like you belong in a ward somewhere with a stray jacket ( well at least those are looks I got in Starbucks while I was reading) LOL.<br />
<br />
<br />
Anyway I knew going in it was going to be Erik and Bradi story but what I didn't think was going to be so detailed. The title really sums it up Alluring Ties tied everything up from books 1&2 everything really came into focus. You really got to know Bradi better and how Micah and got together and what really went down in there relationship. You can also see all the of Bradi's craziness and fun person she is and why. Erik well we all know how good he looks but damn I really wish he wasn't gay because he is such a man you want to bring home to mama but I'm goof with him being a friend and you will see how devoted a friend he is and what his relationship struggles he had before he met Alec.<br />
<br />
Now when you start this story it backs to when they all meet and how they all became good friends Erik, Micah, Bradi and yes Lexi is even in it to (gotta love love Lexi she is a firecracker). I loved that this story carried you thru the time they met to the present. With the dual POV of both Erik and Bradi it made it that much better. Oh did I mention some M/M sex and yes it's HOT. Now don't worry there some regular knocking boots but the M/M she's makes it that much HOTTER <3 .<br />
<br />
So as I wrap up my review with a few quotes from the book don't forget to get your copy today and if you haven't read Alluring Seduction or Alluring Turmoil making it an Alluring weekend and get your copies or if you read them start re-reading.<br />
<br />

This is a debut novel by Laura Brown. It was a very sweet read. Now, I love my raunchy Christian Grey and Gideon Cross (-Has anyone ever noticed that their initials are switched? CG and GC LOL kind of funny LOL) kind of reads, but occasionally reading a book that is not so detailed or even explained at all is nice to break up the heat.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">This is a YA Contemporary Romance. There are implications of sex, but no actual scenes. The story is about Lila having to come to terms with her true feelings even when everyone else sees it she doesn't. </span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nate has loved her for 3 years but because he's dealing with his own turmoil, he never makes a move on it. Longing and misery lead Nate into a dark stage, into a depression. You really feel for him. I liked him the minute he entered, even if he was a grumpy gloomy guss.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Now Bryce, I'm torn on him. At first I didn't like him because I really like Nate. Here Bryce is getting Lila and Nate's breaking down...</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>"It is. I will spend my thirtieth birthday watching the love of my life fall for some other man." </i>~Nate~</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Okay so I understand that it isn't Bryce's fault that Nate wouldn't get off his ass and say something, but still.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Bryce and Lila have been friends since they were 5 years old. Only things have changed between them. They start to see them for the better part of 20 years. Bryce is a good guy and I did have sympathy for him in the book just wanted Nate and Lila together not him and her. LOL!</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">So with meddling friends (and students) how does the story pan out? With a shit ton of backfire. I really can't say much more beyond that or it will give too much away. If you are looking for a light read, full of love and turmoil. Then you should pick up this book. Nicely done for a debut novel. I wish the author all the best in her future books. I will definitely be looking for more from her.</span><br /><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcKaTj48KVd8_rTjSamLUn2SeyXXjCvTFG4-3eGS8VWy8KFgUh2bVv78IDwsl93QF6z_XbLe0Cm2wpkJ8CaJNScz_ZowKd8nifnhTdUU-ob57PaasuS7w5mH1dTq3Ul8t1rTPMHMHqTBYF/s1600/20743626.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcKaTj48KVd8_rTjSamLUn2SeyXXjCvTFG4-3eGS8VWy8KFgUh2bVv78IDwsl93QF6z_XbLe0Cm2wpkJ8CaJNScz_ZowKd8nifnhTdUU-ob57PaasuS7w5mH1dTq3Ul8t1rTPMHMHqTBYF/s1600/20743626.jpg" height="320" width="200" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Lilas-Choice-Laura-Brown-ebook/dp/B00IA6IKV2/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1392234951&sr=1-1&keywords=Lila%27s+Choice">Amazon (US)</a> <a href="http://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/lilas-choice-laura-brown/1118587315?ean=2940148247982">Barnes and Noble</a> <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Lilas-Choice-Laura-Brown-ebook/dp/B00IA6IKV2/ref=sr_1_1_bnp_1_kin?ie=UTF8&qid=1392411484&sr=8-1&keywords=Lila%27s+Choice">Amazon (UK)</a> </span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://www.amazon.com.au/Lilas-Choice-Laura-Brown-ebook/dp/B00IA6IKV2/ref=sr_1_1?s=digital-text&ie=UTF8&qid=1392411614&sr=1-1&keywords=Lila%27s+Choice">Amazon (AU)</a></span></b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>Author Links:</b></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://laurabrownauthor.com/" rel="nofollow" style="background-color: white; border: 0px; color: #1982d1; font-family: Garamond, 'Hoefler Text', 'Times New Roman', Times, serif; line-height: 24.225000381469727px; margin: 0px; outline: 0px; padding: 0px; text-align: start; vertical-align: baseline;" target="_blank">Official Webpage</a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/LauraBrownAuthor" target="_blank">Facebook</a> <span style="background-color: white; color: #333f3c; font-family: 'Droid Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><a href="http://www.google.com/url?q=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.twitter.com%2FAuthorLBrown&sa=D&sntz=1&usg=AFQjCNGEfUQXVJE7nqyLJgdvpjKXZl_YvA" style="background-color: white; font-family: 'Droid Sans', 'Trebuchet MS', Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, sans-serif; line-height: 20.799999237060547px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Twitter</a> <a href="http://bit.ly/1fPZ1Zg">Goodreads</a></span></b></div><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>Miles Apart Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01803232926870751704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240232071669791532.post-53670250450066070042014-02-05T20:00:00.000-08:002014-03-05T09:55:53.811-08:00BLITZ DAY POST and REVIEW for Spicy by Lexi Buchanan<a href="http://www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/BBRSpicy_Amazon.jpg"><img alt="BBRSpicy_Amazon" class="aligncenter size-medium wp-image-5872" src="http://www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/ uploads/2014/02/BBRSpicy_Amazon-196x300.jpg" height="300" width="196" /></a> <br /><h2 style="text-align: center;"><strong>Blurb</strong></h2><h5 style="text-align: center;">Because of screwing up with Callie, during the summer, I’m drowning my sorrows with drink and women…or that’s what I’m trying to do, but it isn’t working. Every time I close my eyes all I see is Callie, her long flowing blonde locks, her slim curvy body with legs that go on for miles and breasts that make my mouth water. She’s become my weakness and I have no idea how to make amends for my past sin…</h5><h5 style="text-align: center;">It’s been weeks since Reece left me without a backwards glance, and I’m an idiot because I’m finding it difficult to move on and forget him. It doesn’t help that my best friend, Thalia, is engaged to his best friend, Phoenix. But tonight I intend to change all that and maybe do a little flirting with another guy and see where it leads…and who knows, it might even make the pain in my ass realize what he’s missing…</h5><h5 style="text-align: center;">Can be read as a standalone and has an HEA ending - No Cliffhanger</h5><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>My Review</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You know I'm finding it harder and harder to find new ways to say how much I love Lexi Buchanan! With every book I have read by her I am immediately pulled in and fall over her men from tripping on my tongue. Spicy was definitely no different.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reece is trying to forget Callie. Callie is trying to move on and maybe rub it in. The thing is it is harder to move past something when you can't quit thinking about it. Both Reece and Callie have to come to terms and make a decision on whether to resist what they can't forget or give in and realize that sometimes we just can't control everything.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Reece is just what I expect from Mrs. Buchanan.

In Spicy they go from denial to love and all the emotions in between. I can't express how much I truly loved this story. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Death is harder. But for Carmen, the two go hand-in-hand.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Just when Carmen thinks her life is looking up, fate steps in and forces her into a life or death decision. Literally. Choosing to follow the guidance of her soulmate Gaviyn, Carmen breaks a centuries old curse and learns to live life as a vampire and a witch. With so many unanswered questions and hidden truths, though, Carmen keeps learning new facts about the past that only leave her with more questions. But the dangers are far from over as the pair is hunted by The Eradicators-whose goal is Carmen’s eternal demise. Gavin and Carmen seek out Sanctuary-a coven of misfit vampires and witches-in the battle for all their lives, and only the greatest sacrifice can save them all.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWXeDD_QTZUHkj1jtG4iz5JiwBZOqSI_Ri7ElYOmaTNOKJ0cje0a6ABChhU7xJMXP_0zUFVnQ2Z8O400N1RDlZ3BGJK82QUK0GQFzNfWL8s1mlnrg2MGh4c9zI77HeybMuHBhjTf5pAvL/s1600/Sanctuary+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUWXeDD_QTZUHkj1jtG4iz5JiwBZOqSI_Ri7ElYOmaTNOKJ0cje0a6ABChhU7xJMXP_0zUFVnQ2Z8O400N1RDlZ3BGJK82QUK0GQFzNfWL8s1mlnrg2MGh4c9zI77HeybMuHBhjTf5pAvL/s1600/Sanctuary+Cover.jpg" height="640" width="420" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Daughters of Night: Possession</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Taking refuge in the Colorado Mountains, Carmen and Gaviyn finally have it all. Friends, followers, and the family they had always dreamed of. But when a new vampire coven threatens to destroy Carmen’s family and release an evil with a thirst for blood upon the world by consuming Carmen’s mind, body, and soul, the vampires and witches of Sanctuary find themselves at war again. The key to Carmen’s salvation from the grips of a powerful demon, however, lies with a girl that none have ever met. With Carmen’s possession growing stronger by the minute, it’s a race against time to find the mystery girl and save Carmen before the demon consumes her – and still find Damien – before it’s too late.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUtgYmlFAqKofXp6-5fsQb-ZKnQ5A-MGZG0MgE1vfB0dC7VgWcVrcY7JUBG2zz5f8mldufe35KsBXh4LpxrKykBOk20Uu4WL7grQXn-d8XEGqQH3Vl64SBV-3mRjbcUzlvuiB1TD7g36DC/s1600/Possession+Cover+New.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjUtgYmlFAqKofXp6-5fsQb-ZKnQ5A-MGZG0MgE1vfB0dC7VgWcVrcY7JUBG2zz5f8mldufe35KsBXh4LpxrKykBOk20Uu4WL7grQXn-d8XEGqQH3Vl64SBV-3mRjbcUzlvuiB1TD7g36DC/s1600/Possession+Cover+New.jpg" height="640" width="420" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: x-large;">Daughters of Night: Tribulation</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">After all that Carmen has been through, there is nothing she won’t do for her family. Nothing.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">With Damien still missing and the new vampire coven still on the prowl for Carmen’s blood, Carmen goes looking for trouble, and finds more than she bargained for. Carmen’s sudden disappearance forces Gaviyn to make some changes at Sanctuary-one of which will change the course of their coven, and pave the way for the future of Sanctuary. Damien, after being tortured to the brink of death over and over again, finally finds an ally, but she’s hiding a secret that Damien might not be able to forgive. With more twists, turns, and loops than a roller coaster, Carmen and Gaviyn work with some surprising new friends to save Damien and defeat the wicked coven-and their tyrannical High Priestess-once and for all, while Damien tries to survive the torture and find his way back home. But as always, sacrifice is the name of the game, and this time, it may be a sacrifice nobody is willing to make.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwHhg67JE1L7BuZB2Q518M90mmReLo2MUexSsU8ZslPAA0AYT9BMapSU6ig8GQgOTNNvzxy6VsdPwYHPOME47TRadI0TghZwxhqfMiK8Ykq7w5tn4QqIFm57nRpEqVzevZkgOPj-Pt7WkE/s1600/Tribulation+Cover.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwHhg67JE1L7BuZB2Q518M90mmReLo2MUexSsU8ZslPAA0AYT9BMapSU6ig8GQgOTNNvzxy6VsdPwYHPOME47TRadI0TghZwxhqfMiK8Ykq7w5tn4QqIFm57nRpEqVzevZkgOPj-Pt7WkE/s1600/Tribulation+Cover.jpg" height="640" width="420" /></a></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;"><b>About the Author</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCK25pvDLA_Io12kY_Syw4nHd0p7B3lHRkf0k-Ii5M1tNh3v2TTbaC3SJLomVPPh1elORiyQpqrJ8V3XtPnkhaKS4gheLjuJMZH_QBR3l-2XiZOUA7PJUHpBzShfCaTO50nnbXkNpMWPi1/s1600/Author+Pic+1+Torbeck.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCK25pvDLA_Io12kY_Syw4nHd0p7B3lHRkf0k-Ii5M1tNh3v2TTbaC3SJLomVPPh1elORiyQpqrJ8V3XtPnkhaKS4gheLjuJMZH_QBR3l-2XiZOUA7PJUHpBzShfCaTO50nnbXkNpMWPi1/s1600/Author+Pic+1+Torbeck.JPG" height="200" width="111" /></a></div><blockquote>An avid reader and sarcasm specialist, Ashley's quirky and bubbly personality stems from the vast amount of information she crammed into her head as a child. No genre was off limits, but she developed a fondness for Stephen King books early on. Of course, growing up in Eastern Kentucky, life moved a little slower, so books became her closest friends. </blockquote><blockquote>Fast forward a few years, and the vast insanity that surrounded Ashley became her life. In January 2009, she married the only person on Earth as insane as herself, and they now reside in Louisville, Kentucky, patiently awaiting the zombie apocalypse while she taps away at the laptop with a plethora of stories to keep you entertained.</blockquote><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><b><i>Stalker Links for Ashley</i></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Facebook (Author Page) – <a href="http://www.facebook.com/Ash.Torbeck">http://www.facebook.com/Ash.Torbeck</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Twitter – <a href="http://www.twitter.com/Ash_Torbeck">http://www.twitter.com/Ash_Torbeck</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Website – <a href="http://www.ashleytorbeck.com/">http://www.ashleytorbeck.com</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Blog – <a href="http://www.drunkenspacepenguin.blogspot.com/">http://www.drunkenspacepenguin.blogspot.com</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Goodreads – <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6523844.Ashley_Torbeck">http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/6523844.Ashley_Torbeck</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon (US) – <a href="http://www.amazon.com/author/Ash.Torbeck">http://www.amazon.com/author/Ash.Torbeck</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Amazon (UK) – <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ashley-Torbeck/e/B0093CHSE2">http://www.amazon.co.uk/Ashley-Torbeck/e/B0093CHSE2</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">G+ – <a href="https://plus.google.com/u/1/103109720404542532267/posts/p/pub">https://plus.google.com/u/1/103109720404542532267/posts/p/pub</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Tumblr – <a href="http://www.ashleytorbeck.tumblr.com/">http://www.ashleytorbeck.tumblr.com</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Facebook (Book Page) – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DaughtersOfNight">https://www.facebook.com/DaughtersOfNight</a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Facebook (Character Page: Damien Hartford) – <a href="https://www.facebook.com/DamienHeathHartford">https://www.facebook.com/DamienHeathHartford</a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;">Join us on Facebook between March 3rd - March 9th to celebrate the re-release of Sanctuary, the re-release of Possession, and the debut of Tribulation, all in one week.

When I open them again, he has already drawn in his lower lip, his perfect teeth sinking into the pink flesh before letting it roll free. “I want to know who is hiding beneath this makeup…I want to know what it’s like to wake up next to you in the mornings.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“With all due respect, Mr. Wentworth, you have no idea what you are talking about. You say that I am not surrendering because of fear, that I am using this, ‘I don’t need love’ ego to cover up the fact that I fear getting hurt…do you know what––” I shift to the edge of the pew and lean in across the table. I am greeted by his delicious scent and my stomach cinches. “––Damn fucking right I fear it. An animal gets burned when it goes into a fire; it evolves to finally realize that you stay the fuck away from it, no matter how enticing it may be. Fear is what makes you human; it’s what keeps you alert. It’s what keeps you––”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“––Running. Fear is what keeps you running. Dammit, Samantha,” he barks and the cutlery jingles and rattles against the china of the plates as he slams his hands down on the table in irritation.</span><br /><span style="font-size: small;">Seeing this insistent, demanding side to him is doing absolutely nothing for defense. It just makes me want to pin him up against the booth, straddle his hips and force my tongue into his mouth to shut him up.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“I know fear––trust me, I really do. I stared it in the face the day you walked through my office doors, the first contact when you shook my hand. I felt that fear last night. My God, I’m feeling it right now. But I’m not running from it, because it is you. I am running towards my fear, Samantha…I’m running towards you.”</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">“Regardless, of fear and revelation, of going against your psychological defenses, Hayden––I just can’t. You are too much of a nice guy for me to tangle you up in the fuck-up web that is my life. I can’t hurt you like that…and I will not hurt you like that.” I recover my clutch purse that rests to my left on the pew and begin slipping myself out of the booth. “I’m sorry, Hayden. Thank you…for everything.” I push past the lump in my throat, and brusquely nod my appreciation for the chance that he gave me at work, for the flowers, and in all honesty, just for him being a genuinely charming, gorgeous, generous, and considerate man.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">His mouth has fallen open in bewilderment and he looks on with hooded eyes. With every nuance of strength I have, I direct it solely on fighting the part of me that actually wants to stay, the part that wants to face that fear and walk towards the hot, entrancing flames of the fire in hope that I won’t get burned. But that’s just sheer naivety.</span><br /><br /><span style="font-size: small;">With the hefty sphere of reluctance forming in my chest, I will myself to pull my gaze away and flee from the booth, from the restaurant––from Hayden, not daring to even glance back, in fear of destroying us both, if I did.</span></span><br /><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvJaIK3Gj7Bey7p_XmKoP1E9uZlKTiRJt8nk-ltxCO0Q3Q0ZJDCgcmJSiEYzIYJtz0iyJysMhrCV4MQryc6JiJAaa6bGhecLA7Y8NwsayCTO5AKzKyKvWjBM4EadD6u8jffRQL1heLwBT/s1600/imp1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtvJaIK3Gj7Bey7p_XmKoP1E9uZlKTiRJt8nk-ltxCO0Q3Q0ZJDCgcmJSiEYzIYJtz0iyJysMhrCV4MQryc6JiJAaa6bGhecLA7Y8NwsayCTO5AKzKyKvWjBM4EadD6u8jffRQL1heLwBT/s1600/imp1.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1yxG9WzhCs6wioPLIjAtGKv3a5_s5uCI0V9YKqI2Oik1wVZXkXRJXvvZBgdY7qoIpYsdHOdCR42oag6TrsJFSoEV6s8YALAie0YNVimS0T6k3R4NW2KUNu61Blixk_VuiyoItRkhDHY51/s1600/imp2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1yxG9WzhCs6wioPLIjAtGKv3a5_s5uCI0V9YKqI2Oik1wVZXkXRJXvvZBgdY7qoIpYsdHOdCR42oag6TrsJFSoEV6s8YALAie0YNVimS0T6k3R4NW2KUNu61Blixk_VuiyoItRkhDHY51/s1600/imp2.jpg" height="320" width="209" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYcfAvQ0aO1lrtvo_Vei3-aPzNm5BhevQY7v1PgQKO9bHVBawD7kBZYSdJY-21L2aOYXVTdF1Fx3wBWeh_B8zX87Wso-U98Ghxo6JGwO1J8tgOg5_gYpnUyu2cIjYlRwNq2eUV2I-_Tajs/s1600/imp3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYcfAvQ0aO1lrtvo_Vei3-aPzNm5BhevQY7v1PgQKO9bHVBawD7kBZYSdJY-21L2aOYXVTdF1Fx3wBWeh_B8zX87Wso-U98Ghxo6JGwO1J8tgOg5_gYpnUyu2cIjYlRwNq2eUV2I-_Tajs/s1600/imp3.jpg" height="240" width="320" /></a></div><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 115%;"><span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></span>Miles Apart Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01803232926870751704noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240232071669791532.post-46064750756601636632014-01-10T00:00:00.000-08:002014-03-05T09:55:53.836-08:00*****Alluring Seduction Blog Tour***** Review by Kia<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><img class="GH" height="235" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?ui=2&ik=70feed6a3a&view=att&th=14374d040839487d&attid=0.1.1&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" style="-webkit-box-shadow: rgb(229, 229, 229) 0px 0px 0px 1px; box-shadow: rgb(229, 229, 229) 0px 0px 0px 1px;" width="640" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222;"><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0); font-weight: bold; text-decoration: underline;">Alluring Seduction Synopsis </span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Warning: This book contains explicit language and explosive sex. It is an adult romance and not intended for anyone under the age of 18. Jessie Adams is the womanizing, lead guitarist for the hottest rock band in the country, Bayou Stix. Seduction is his game. He does what he wants, when he wants, and with whom he wants. Women are playthings, but eventually meaningless sex with groupie after groupie gets old. Blue Delaney has spent years working nonstop and cultivating her way to being the hottest rock reporter in the business and the lead reporter for Rock Hard Magazine. She’s confident, sexy, and has no time for games. Jessie loves women and women love him, but something about Blue gets under his skin. She’s not what he’s used to. Blue loves Bayou Stix and is friends with the guys, but something about Jessie pushes her buttons. It doesn’t stop her from wanting him. When Blue is forced to go on tour with Bayou Stix and cover the band, tensions run high, chemistry is explosive, and Blue and Jessie begin to see each other in a new light. Their attraction is obvious to everyone but them. But in the end… the question is who’s seducing whom and is chemistry enough to sustain a relationship? Can this fierce woman tame this bad boy rocker? Does she want to?</span></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><img alt="image.png" class="" height="502" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?ui=2&ik=70feed6a3a&view=att&th=14374d040839487d&attid=0.1.2&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" width="728" /></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-size: large;">Buy Links:</span></b></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></b></div><div style="color: #333333; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> <a class="_553k" href="http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (US)</a> <span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><a class="_553k" href="https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (UK)</a><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><a class="_553k" href="https://www.amazon.de/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (DE)</a><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><a class="_553k" href="https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (FR)</a><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><a class="_553k" href="https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (AU)</a><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span></span></b></div><div style="color: #333333; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div style="color: #333333; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"><br /></span></span></b></div><div style="color: #333333; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-align: center; white-space: pre-wrap;"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><a class="_553k" href="https://www.amazon.it/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (IT)</a><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><span style="line-height: 13.600000381469727px;"> </span><a class="_553k" href="https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/B00HNE1TQ0" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank">Amazon (JP)</a> </span></b><a class="_553k" href="http://skyeturnerauthor.storenvy.com/" rel="nofollow" style="color: #3b5998; cursor: pointer; line-height: 13.600000381469727px; text-decoration: none;" target="_blank"><b><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Signed Paperbacks with Swag</span></b></a></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /></div><div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><u><b><i>Review:</i></b></u></div></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /><i>First off can I say Skye Turner you did it again. I know it's winter right now but while you read this it will feel like its mid summer this book is so hot. There s no wonder she makes a disclaimer about having an extra set of panties and a vibrator available, you will need both. Oh yeah and a fan to cool yourself off.<br /><br />Just when I thought Jude was hot from book one Alluring Turmoil, here comes "Jesse Adams". let me tell you HOT, HOT, HOT, did I say HOT. Ok you get it.<br /><br />Jesse is the lead guitarist in one hot rock band called Bayou Six . He does play his part as a "manwhore" don't get me wrong am all for a man who loves women but Jesse is a real manwhore loves and leaves them in one night never to look back again but then again can you blame him these groupies just give it up like its nothing. Oh did I mention that he is well "hung" like really hung we are talking salami here hung. Even though he is a "well hung manwhore" he has a heart of gold and when you learn more about him he comes out being a really sweet guy.</i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><img class="" height="728" src="https://mail.google.com/mail/u/1/?ui=2&ik=70feed6a3a&view=att&th=14374d040839487d&attid=0.1.3&disp=emb&zw&atsh=1" width="728" /></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><br /><br /><br /><i>Now meet Blue. If I was a male I think I would be all over her in a heartbeat she is one HOT female. Blue eyes, dark short hair and a curvy body that any women would die for. She is the lead reporter for Rock Hard magazine and has known this band for about 8 years now and on tour for the past 8 weeks with the band for the magazine. She also stands her ground and will put in your place in a matter of minutes she is not to be reckoned with.<br /><br />Jesse and Blue have a love hate relationship more hate than love that is. Now if you read book one which I know everyone did right ;) Blue is good friends with Jude (lead singer of Bayou Six) and the rest of the band Liam, Crux, and Dade. Jesse not so much all they do is get in each others face and fight all the time. Now you will see the rest of the gang Lexi, Brandi, Erik, Micah and Alec. You also get to witness the growing friendship that Blue has with the girls something she never had before actual girlfriends. </i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i><br />I loved the dual POV because you get both sides of the story and you get to understand that much more about why Jesse and Blue are the way they are towards each other and to others.</i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i><br /></i></div><div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"><i>Now wait didn't I say they had a love hate relationship lets just say they did some exploring after both of them got there heads out of their "asses" and try to explore and relationship to "get to know each other better". Well let's just say when you have Blues' 8 years of built up feeling for Jesse and Jesse not being able to keep his "salami" down while Blue is around and struggling to understand what exactly he is feeling lets just say there is so much lust, anger, protectiveness, jealous land much more going on it all combust when the do get a chance at one another it is off the charts HOT.

She has a writing style that can just pull you in the story and hold you there even if the character is doing something so mundane. You feel their every emotions and crave their happiness as you would your own. When I read her first book and I was hooked. She's like a good drug. Knows how to make you laugh with words when all you want to do is cry.

But then he comes to her with a new offer: his band, Your Toxic Sequel, is going on tour and he wants her with him—working in wardrobe and as his girl. Life on the road is a complete 180 from everything Sienna has ever known. Not only does she have to deal with Lucas’s band members, but she’s also forced to be around Cilla, the lead singer of Wicked Lambs. Still, despite horny band mates and a gorgeous rock goddess determined to sink her talons into Lucas, Sienna stays by his side. Then the letters start to come—harassing messages from Lucas’s ex-wife, Sam. At first, Sienna brushes them off, keeping Lucas in the dark because Sam is bad for his music. But after Sam’s contact turns personal and violent, Sienna has no other choice but to confront Lucas. If she’s ever going to understand the twisted pull Sam has on him, she has to know his secret. But when he finally reveals it, will they be able to survive the consequences? Or will it tear them apart, consuming them? <a href="http://shhmomsreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Excerpt.jpg"><img alt="Excerpt" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10835" src="http://shhmomsreading.com/wp- content/uploads/2013/12/Excerpt.jpg" height="100" width="300" /></a> “Nice move, Mr. Wolfe,” I mutter under my breath. Tapping my foot rapidly against the floor, I wait for my suitcase to come around on the carousel. Once I locate it, I lug everything to a row of chairs nearby. It’s too hot for me to wait outside for some driver to arrive. No sooner than my butt makes contact with the hard seat do I hear snippets of a conversation between two women who are walking in the direction of the taxi exit. “ . . . I have all of their CDs. I could spot him from a mile away. It was definitely him<i>, </i>and you— <i>you</i> are stifling me!” What the hell? I twist around in time to witness the shorter woman with the black, asymmetrical bob narrow her chocolate brown eyes at the tall, leggy blonde. “And just last night you just said they’re on tour. So which is it, Kate? He’s on tour, or he’s bullshitting around this place?” “Or maybe,” Kate hisses, “Lucas is catching a flight because of his tour.” Lucas is already here? I clamber to my feet, allowing the argument between Kate and her friend to fade into the background as I scan as far as my eyes can see for Lucas. There are couples reuniting all around me, and what appears to be an entire busload of people holding up signs that say “Welcome Home, Gloria,” but no sign of him. I’m about to grab my stuff and go look, but then I see him. Heading directly toward me. His stride a little faster than it normally is, his soft grin entirely too confident, his hazel eyes cocky and yet so full of need. God, that man and those eyes. He’s wearing destroyed jeans and an olive green tee shirt that show off the green flecks in his eyes. His muscular arms hang relaxed by his side, but when he comes close enough for me to breathe in the clean, airy scent of his cologne, I notice that he’s worrying something between the thumb and forefinger of his right hand. I squint down at it as the toes of his Converse brush up against my ballet flats. “Well fuck, Sienna. Looks like you’re more interested in my hands than my face.” But he opens his palm, holding it six inches from my face. My throat constricts when I realize what he’s holding. It’s a guitar pick. Holy hell. “You’re grinding your teeth.” The volume of his voice is barely above a whisper and yet so powerful. “The things I want to do to you for that.” <a href="http://shhmomsreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/AboutTheAuthor.jpg"><img alt="AboutTheAuthor" class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-10832" src="http://shhmomsreading.com/ wp-content/uploads/2013/12/AboutTheAuthor.jpg" height="100" width="400" /></a>Emily Snow is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the erotic romance series Devoured, which includes Devoured, All Over You, and Consumed, as well as the new adult novel Tidal.

This story The Promise really got to me, it was about friendship and second chances, oh yeah there are some hot guys in this too;).<br /><br />The friendship of Ava and Rylee was more like sisters then best friends they stood with each other since they were around 8 years old until there adult hood and never let go. There where good times and bad but they always held each other up no matter what. They made a pinky promise at 8 that they would move cross country when they were out college and stuck with it now if that isn't true friendship then I can't tell you what is.<br /><br />Ava always helped Rylee when things got rough with her step father. When you live a life where someone always puts you down and makes you feels like you failed at being a daughter it can put an ever lasting change in your life. When people say that words don't hurt a person they are wrong. With Rylee you can really feel her pain in this book it made you want to be there and hold her hand in the steps that she was taking to make herself a better person and opening up, and her best friend Ava did at for her.<br /><br />In turn Rylee helped Ava when she needed to start listening to the things she always preached to Rylee. Sometimes you need to practice what you preach in your own life. When it came to Ryan which by the way is a serious hottie trying to get a second chance Ava needed to start listening to her own words of wisdom that she always told Rylee.<br /><br />When you give advise to other sometimes it's hard to use the same advise for yourself but you will find out if true love ever prevails when you read the book. I don't want to give any spoilers away so you need to read it lol it is so worth the read.<br /><br />Now since we are on the subject of guys another hottie named Matt is in this as well and he is so what Rylee needs but she is not willing to let her guard down for him and friend zones him. You never know with time and a little help with friends and family it might happen for her. It's just hard for her to open up her heart and see the light but I guess we will find out in book two if these two can finally get it on I'm sorry I'm mean take a chance at love, (but I really would love to see them get on I think it would be so hot and sexy I can taste it) sorry had a side thought for a minute there.<br /><br />Don't worry if you are looking for some sexy love scenes you will not be disappointed because they are in there and there is even one with a hot rocker as well but I know everyone will be making Ryan there new book boyfriend I know I did<br /><br />You will also love all the nicknames they give the guys too and the flirting and banter is awesome you can do nothing but laugh at this.<br /><br /><i>"Giggling I turned to find Rylee, we needed to get out of here before I let myself get sweet talked by Mr-melt-in-your-mouth!"</i> -Ava<br /><br /><i>I'm not sure what I fancy tonight, but I do feel kind of ashamed that I let you give an amazing screaming orgasm last time and I didn't even know your name!"</i> -Rylee<br /><br /><i>More amazing than I could have ever imagined. I love you baby, you're not just my life you're my heart too, I can't breath without you."</i> -Ryan<br /><br /><i>Well, now you know my name I could always give you another one so you stop feeling bad." </i>-Matt<br /><br />Just go and get it. You will laugh and if you ever in your life time had or still have a friend that's like a sister this book will make you feel one with it.<br /><br />Happy reading y'all<o:p></o:p></span></div>Miles Apart Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01803232926870751704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240232071669791532.post-66270256536905089942013-12-06T00:00:00.000-08:002014-03-05T09:55:53.885-08:00Kissing Under The Mistletoe by Lexi Buchnan<a href="http://www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/kissing-under-the-mistletoe6.jpg"><img alt="kissing under the mistletoe6" class="aligncenter size- large wp-image-4688" height="339" src="http:// www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/kissing-under-the- mistletoe6-1024x480.jpg" width="725" /></a> <a href="http://www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/KissingUTM_Smashwords_BN1.jpg"><img alt="KissingUTM_Smashwords_BN" class="aligncenter size- large wp-image-4642" height="1024" src="http:/ /www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/ KissingUTM_Smashwords_BN1-665x1024.jpg" width="665" /></a><br /><h2><a href="http://www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/KissingUTM_Smashwords_BN1.jpg"> <strong>Synopsis</strong></a></h2><a href="http://www.bookaddictmumma.net/wp-content/uploads/2013/11/KissingUTM_Smashwords_BN1.jpg"> Intended for Mature Audiences 18+ Gabe has been brought up with Bree, since he was nine years old when his parents died.

We are now settled in a lovely town, in County Cavan. The kids love their schools, once they get there that is. My eldest daughter, is on the Irish Junior Archery Team, and spends her time training. At least she does when her dad can get her off her ipad, reading or listening to music. I have recently joined the book review blog, <a href="https://www.facebook.com/BookAddictMumma?ref=hl">Book Addict Mumma</a> and made a wonderful new friend in Kristy Louise Garbutt, my new boss! My kindle is loaded with too many books to mention, as I absolutely love to read when I have the chance. My all time high would be to stand at the foot of Mount Everest in the Himalayas. <a href="http://www.lexibuchanan.com/">Website</a> | <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Lexi-Buchanan-Author/420883994640708?ref=hl">Facebook</a> | Twitter @AuthorLexi | <a href="http://www.lexibuchanan.com/lexibuchanan/Newsletter.html">Newsletter</a> </div>Miles Apart Bookshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01803232926870751704noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3240232071669791532.post-79045541295793442692013-12-02T06:06:00.000-08:002014-03-05T09:55:53.893-08:00!*!*!*!*!*!*SALE!*!*!*!*!*!*!

Oh, he’s felt instant lust before, more times that he cares to remember, but there’s something about Carla that’s different and he finds it difficult to get her out of his head, which is where she needs to be considering she’s dating his brother. Carla has been pretending to date Ramon for a while now to keep a violent ex of hers away and to keep Ramon’s family off his back. They’ve been friends for a couple of years, so it was only natural that they’d help each other out, except she hasn’t bargained on falling for Ramon’s brother, Sebastian. Also catch up with the McKenzie family as they welcome the twins to the family.

He practically dragged me out of Lily’s room and now he’s dragging me down the hallway as though there’s a fire. He looks through the window to a room. “In here,” he says, pushing the door open before pulling me inside and out of view of the window. “Sebasti–” He slams his mouth to mine and pushes me up against the wall, grabbing my thighs he hoists me up so I wrap my legs around him coming into contact with his huge swollen cock, making my eyes open wide. I had no idea he was so aroused. I shove my fingers into his hair, holding his mouth to me. The things he does with his tongue has me wet and aching. “I need you babe.” He lets my feet hit the floor, unzips me, shoving my jeans and thong down my legs before releasing his cock, which is already wet at the tip. I can’t take my eyes off him as he jerks with arousal and takes hold of himself, pulling back to the root of him and holding there. “Carla,” he says between gritted teeth, “I’m going to come the minute I get inside you.” That’s the only warning I get. He spins me around. I place my hands on the wall as he pulls my hips towards him before thrusting inside me. He feels so good, filling me up, which sets off little electric shocks along my channel. Letting go of my hips, he wraps me up in his arms and slides his hands up inside my top, shoving my bra above my breasts and starts massaging and pinching my nipples. “Hmm,” I moan resting my head on his shoulder behind me. My breath catches as he pulls most of the way out of me, leaving just the tip inside. “I’m going to fuck your cunt now.” <i>Oh God!</i> He starts pumping his hips in and out of me. One hand stays on my nipple while the other moves to my clit. The minute he touches me between my legs, he pinches my nipple and I explode. Seeing stars, I can’t stop climaxing. My channel grips Sebastian’s cock. My muscles rippling up and down the length of him. Cursing, he pulls out shoving his fingers inside me to ride out my orgasm. I feel his other hand take hold of his cock, which is pressed against my ass before turning my head and watching him ejaculate on the floor. Unable to catch my breath, I stay resting against the wall as he removes his fingers from inside me. I hear Sebastian putting himself back together before he bends and pulls my thong and jeans back up then he turns me around to fasten them. He kisses my lips, pulling me back into his arms. “God, did I need you…but <i>shit</i>, it would have been too messy if I came inside you here.” “I know.” I love him coming inside me. It makes me feel even more connected to him than just having his dick inside me. “You like my words, baby?” he whispers into my ear, rubbing my ass and pushing me against him. “You can’t be ready to go again?” “I’m always ready with you, and answer the question,” he chuckles. Why I blush when he uses those naughty words, I don’t know, but I do and now I probably look like a tomato. “You’re not saying anything, but I’ll let you off the hook for now because I know you find them as hot as I do when I use them and I bet if I touch your pussy it will be wet and not just from the orgasm you’ve just had.” Breaking away from him, I smack his arm. “Stop embarrassing me.” I try to leave the room, but he catches me around the waist. “I’ll be using those words again the next time I’m buried deep inside you,” he whispers in my ear. “Your little cunt will tell me how much dirty talk turns you on.” My body feels alive again. He’s just brought me to orgasm, and I already need him again. His words do turn me on, although I’m not used to hearing them when referring to my body parts. Oh, I’ve seen them in enough books that I’ve read, in fact Bared to You comes to mind, but <i>God</i>, Sebastian is right. Hearing those words turns me on something wicked. He moves to stand in front of me and smirks when he sees the lust I’m struggling to hide on my face. If we weren’t in an unlocked hospital room, I’d be on him again. “C’mon, before Mom comes looking for us. I promise to behave in public from now on,” he smirks. Opening the door for me, we walk out straight into Michael and Lucien. “Where have you two been?” Lucien pauses, looks between the two of us, and then continues, “Then again never mind. Carla you go back into Lily’s room, while we interrogate Sebastian and don’t worry we’re going to sit right over there by the door.” Lucien points. <h2>Book Trailer</h2><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="360" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/HW6ALJ1HfN8" width="480"></iframe> <h2><strong>About the Author</strong></h2>I was born in Bolton, Lancashire within the United Kingdom, where I lived, and worked at the University of Bolton, until I moved to Ireland with my husband, four kids and pack of animals. We are now settled in a lovely town, in County Cavan. The kids love their schools, once they get there that is. My eldest daughter, is on the Irish Junior Archery Team, and spends her time training. At least she does when her dad can get her off her ipad, reading or listening to music. My kindle is loaded with too many books to mention, as I absolutely love to read when I have the chance. My all time high would be to stand at the foot of Mount Everest in the Himalayas.

Chances were slim that she’d ever discover the long-lost pirate treasure of Mermaid Isle, and yet she had to believe she’d one day piece together enough of the clues to find the stash her pirate ancestor had buried hundreds of years earlier. </div><div>Hundreds of years…and yet the Delphine’s treasure still remained elusive. A few pieces would occasionally turn up—the odd coin usually—but nothing more substantial. Just enough to keep the legend going. </div><div>Setting aside her notebook and working copy of her ancestor’s diary, she slid away from her desk behind the old and battered wood counter of her shop and went to get herself a cup of coffee. Her giant pup spared her a glance, but was too lazy to bother following her without the guarantee of food. Come summer, Mermaid Isle would be hopping with tourists, but it was only April and this was Maine. The weather was still too cold and unpredictable to get too many visitors, and so it was just her and Watson for now. </div><div>The Book Nook Café stayed open year round—for the most part. It gave the locals a place to hang out, pick up a new read, and get their caffeine buzz going, though Lucy knew </div><div>better than to expect many customers past her morning regulars. And truth be told, that was fine by her. The summer months were crazy and she liked her down time, since it afforded her the opportunity to take care of her other interests—like the Delphine’s treasure. </div><div>Lucy shuffled off in her shearling boots, mentally contemplating which coffee concoction she’d have. That was the other good thing about the slower winter months—she got to experiment with the selection of coffee and baked goods she offered in the café portion of her book store. </div><div>After mentally going through the recipes she’d been working on for her new coffee flavorings, she decided on a macchiato laced with a mixture of sea salt caramel and then a second syrup of burnt sugar and Irish whiskey that she still wasn’t sure would make it into her lineup. </div><div>The smell of fresh coffee filled the air as her espresso machine hissed and spit, making it sound like it was possessed by some demon. She topped her coffee with a generous amount of hot frothy milk, and then drizzled the luscious brew with the syrups she’d chosen. </div><div>Mug in hand, she wandered back to her notes, circumventing the hundred and thirty pounds of black lab and Dane mix, and got back to work on her treasure hunt. If nothing else, it gave her something else to do during the slow winter months. </div><div>She’d managed to track down mention of the Delphine’s treasure prior to her ancestor getting his hands on it, but it had been an elusive prize even back then. Her ancestor, Bjorn Eirikson, had been a notorious pirate in his time, but his fierce rival Ronan Campbell also had his eye on the treasure. That had been sometime in the seventeen hundreds, from what she could tell. </div><div>She took a long sip of her coffee and checked the time. In another half an hour, her best friend, Riley, would be stopping by with an armful of wedding magazines to discuss her </div><div>upcoming nuptials to Thorsen. Lucy couldn’t be happier for her, though it did leave her wondering if she’d ever find that special someone. She hadn’t had the best of luck with men, usually falling for guys who seemed sweet at first, and then turned out to be jerks. It’s not that she was in any rush, but she was sliding towards thirty and it’d be nice to have someone in her life who didn’t drool and shed. </div><div>"Not that I’d be replacing you." She reached down and gave his big cow head a scratch, the dog far too used to her ramblings by now. Well, who else was she going to talk to? </div><div>The bell on her door rang out with a delicate tinkle, pulling her from her thoughts and announcing the arrival of a customer. She tucked her notebook and journal aside before looking up, half thinking Riley had shown up early. </div><div>But that sure as hell wasn’t Riley, and she nearly pinched herself to make sure that she hadn’t just conjured up the man—the pirate—gracing her doorway. It was as if he’d jumped off the pages of her journal. </div><div>He had thick, dark hair just long enough to make her think he’d once worn it long, broad muscular shoulders, eyes the color of sapphires, scruffy stubble on a strong jawline, and a couple of small silver hoops through each ear. Add to that a broken-in leather jacket the color of bittersweet chocolate, worn jeans, and some rugged biker boots, and the image of a modern-day pirate was complete. </div><div>Oh...my... </div><div>She got to her feet and found they were a bit wobblier than she’d last remembered them, making her debate whether or not she should attempt to walk out from behind the counter. He was definitely not a local and he sure as hell hadn’t been on the island long. Because Lucy knew </div><div>all the locals, and if he’d been in town more than twenty-four hours, he’d have had the gossip mill buzzing. A man like the one standing before her did not go unnoticed. </div><div>And then he smiled at her. Not just any smile, but the kind that unleashed a gaggle of butterflies in her stomach and forced her to grab at the counter to keep from melting into a puddle of want and need. </div><div>Because, damn…there was no way any hot-blooded woman could not want him. </div><div>How she managed to find her voice, she hadn't a clue. And it even sounded somewhat normal, albeit breathy. "Welcome to the Book Nook. Let me know if I can help in any way." </div><div>In. Any. Way. </div><div>And then his smile kicked up another notch and his eyes locked on hers, sparkling like the summer sun hitting the ocean waves. "I appreciate the offer, lass." </div><div>Lass? Who said lass anymore? And oh…was that an accent of some sort? Damn if the man wasn’t going to have her swooning like some damsel. And she was so not the damsel type—normally. But hey, if he was the one catching her, then she was happy to swoon away. </div><div>"I don’t suppose you’d have any books on the history of the island?" The accent wasn’t anything full-blown, just enough to have you wondering if you’d actually heard it. Almost as if he’d grown up on this side of the pond, but his parents were originally from some distant land. </div><div>"Sure." She took a tentative step to make sure her legs would support her and then wandered over to his side of the counter, ignoring the oh please look her mutt was giving her. "Are you looking for more current books that have been written on the island or older, out-of-print books?" </div><div>"I suppose a bit of both." He followed behind her as she moved through the bookstore, his long legs allowing him to easily keep up with her, making him appear to casually amble as if he hadn’t a care in the world. </div><div>The building had once been an old mercantile and many of the details, like the old pine plank flooring with its hand-forged nails, the rough-hewn wood beams and best of all, the large stone fireplace, remained intact. It was also large enough to comfortably house her bookstore and the café. </div><div>"Over here is the section with the more recently published books on the island. You’ll see that they’re then organized further by subject. The older, out-of-print books are on the shelves in the café area but they’re mixed in with newer second-hand stock." She walked around the corner, circumventing the plush armchairs and sofas to find the bookcase she wanted. "Here’s the section you’re looking for, though the selection is somewhat limited." </div><div>"I appreciate the help." He turned to face her, and suddenly it seemed like the distance between them had evaporated and he was standing awfully close. Close enough for her to see that his blue eyes held flecks of gold in them. His smile kicked up on one side, making her think he knew exactly the sort of effect he was having on her. And then he ran a gentle thumb over the corner of her lips as his fingers nearly cupped her cheek. "You have a little something here." </div><div>Her tongue darted out to lick where his touch had just been, and his smile went sultry. "Caramel. And sea salt. Whiskey too." She was rambling. His touch had fried her brain. </div><div>And then he brought his thumb to his lips and half bit, half licked off what he’d wiped from her lips. "So it is. Pretty damn tasty." </div><div>By the gods, she nearly had a coronary then and there. Her heart was racing and her thundering pulse was deafening in her head, though it was nothing compared to the echo she felt in the girly bits between her legs. </div><div>Heat had her cheeks roasting, and she knew that her cursedly pale skin must be redder than a baboon’s ass in winter. She took a step back and tried to focus on something other than how long it had been since she’d last had a man’s hands on her. "I’ll…um…be at my desk. Holler if you need anything." </div><div>"Anything…?" His gaze danced over her face and then her body, before settling back on her eyes. And the way he said that word, with all its implied meaning and innuendo…Crap. He could be reciting the frigging dictionary and it would have her getting hot and bothered. "I don’t think I caught your name. I’m Niall." </div><div>He put out his hand and she took it, trying to ignore the zing of electricity that seemed to come from his mere touch. And his hands…bloody hell, his hands were big and just a little rough, and they looked capable—capable of oh so much. </div><div>"Lucy." Sole proprietor of the Book Nook Café and having very, very indecent thoughts about her new customer. "Will you be staying on Mermaid Isle for any length of time or are you just passing through? I could"—drag you off to my bed—"try to locate any books you need if we don’t have them in stock." </div><div>"I really like what I’ve seen of the island so far, so I might stay for a wee bit." The way he said it and the way he looked at her with that intense, sultry gaze made her think that he might not be talking about the island alone. "Might look into renting a place for a month. Maybe two. I noticed there’s a carriage house in the rear of the shop. Don’t suppose that’d be available? I like how central it is to town." </div><div>"Sorry. That’s actually my place. Makes it an easy commute in the winter, especially when I have to get up early to bake. But I could ask around. There are plenty of homes that are used only as summer residences." Lucy tried not to think of the trouble she could get into if this man was wandering about the island for the next few months. And just like that, she felt another flush of heat bloom across her cheeks. </div><div>"I’d appreciate the help. I don’t know anyone on the island—except for you, now." </div><div>The door chimed once more, and she decided she best make her escape before she tackled the poor man onto the sofa, or blushed any worse than she already had. "Gotta get that." </div><div>"I know where to find you if I need help with anything." He stuck his hands in the pockets of his worn, and yet oh so perfectly fitting jeans, and gave her a parting smile that nearly had her walking into a bookcase. </div><div>She made a quick recovery, hoping he didn’t notice and yet sure he had, before turning the corner to find Riley in the front of the store. Knowing her hunky pirate couldn’t see her from where she’d left him, she grabbed Riley’s arm, nearly dislodging the stack of magazines Riley was holding against her chest, and dragged her friend to the back room of the store. </div><div>"Okay…what was that about, crazy woman?" Riley laughed and put the magazines on a nearby table, before bending down to pet Watson. Since Riley was one of his favorite humans, he’d actually gotten up off the floor and was now wagging his tail hard enough to take out small buildings in its path. </div><div>"Words fail me." Lucy nearly picked up a magazine to start fanning herself. "Looks like we might have a new visitor to the island and he is…oh so very nice." </div><div>"Ah! Nice, huh?" Riley let out a laugh and poked her head out past the doorway. "Is he still here? I might just have to check out this nice guy for myself." </div><div>"He’s in the café." And then it occurred to her that Riley might be able to cut Niall a deal on one of her cottages up at the Siren Song Inn. "Actually, he’s looking for a place to stay for a month or two. Given that it’s the off-season, I don’t suppose you have any deals going?" </div><div>"Sure. Most of the rooms and cottages stay empty this time of year anyway, so I’d be happy to." Riley then bumped her shoulder with hers and gave her a teasing smile. "Not to mention, it might do you some good to have a handsome distraction around before things get crazy for the summer." </div><div>"I don’t know what you’re talking about, cupcake, but it’s clear your mind’s in the gutter on account of all that sex you’ve been having with that big ole Viking of yours." Not that Riley was fooling anyone. They’d been the best of friends for close to a decade, and they knew each other like they were twins. "That said, I may as well introduce you while he’s still here." </div><div>"To have you, of all people, reacting like this?" Riley’s eyebrows perked up with amusement. "I cannot wait to meet him." </div><div>"Come on then." Lucy just shook her head with a smile and led the way. They found him in the far corner of the café, squatting in front of one of the bookshelves, his back to them. </div><div>Niall must have heard them coming, because he turned in their direction and stood, a smile dancing on his lips. Riley threw her a sideways glance, her eyes discreetly wide with excitement—and that could only mean Riley would be grilling her later. </div><div>"Niall, this is my friend, Riley. She might be able to help you with those room accommodations." Lucy took a step back, so they could conduct their business. "I’ll leave you guys to it." </div><div>Grabbing the stack of bridal magazines, Lucy got settled in at her desk and polished off the rest of her coffee before it went completely cold. Each of the magazines bristled with colored </div><div>sticky notes, no doubt color-coded. She flipped through the pages, making note of the gowns Riley seemed to like. Nothing over the top, especially since she’d be getting married outdoors by the ocean cliffs near the inn. Mostly elegant A-lines or flowing sheaths with just enough detail to make them special. Riley would be gorgeous—not that she needed a wedding gown for that. </div><div>Best of all, the bridesmaid dresses were no less elegant. She might not have many opportunities to wear the dress again, but at least she’d look great on the big day. </div><div>She could hear them coming, Niall’s voice deep and rich, whereas Riley’s was light and carrying a tone of humor. Lucy could tell that her friend hadn’t been fully immune to the man’s charms. Not that she could blame her. The man oozed the sort of charm and charisma that people were drawn to despite themselves. </div><div>Riley tapped the counter. "I’m going to run. If you have a chance to go through those magazines, just mark the sticky notes of the dresses you like." She then turned back to Niall. "I’ll let the front desk at the Siren know the details of our arrangement. It’s been a pleasure." </div><div>With Riley gone, the butterflies took up residence in her stomach again. "Looks like you found a few books." </div><div>"Also found a place to stay, and for that I need to thank you." Niall put his books on the counter and then leaned against it, closing the distance between them, when Watson finally decided to get up and check out the competition. "Now there’s a big fella. What’s his name?" Niall let Watson have a sniff before giving him a good scratch behind the ears. </div><div>"It’s Watson—the loyal companion. Great dog, though he’d probably roll over to have his belly rubbed at the first sight of a burglar." Unless she was in danger. Then he’d tear them limb from limb. Watson had been a rescue, and Lucy truly believed he appreciated getting a second chance. </div><div>Niall continued to lavish attention on the hairy beast until the dog plopped himself down at the man’s feet, and Niall turned back to her with those bright blue eyes. "Don’t suppose I can take you out to dinner? I owe you big time for helping me get my new digs." </div><div>And pass up going out with her modern-day pirate? Not a chance. "A girl’s gotta eat. Should we say seven?" </div><div>He tugged on one of her red curls and watched it spring back. "Sounds perfect." </div><div><b><br /></b></div><div><b>Chapter Two </b></div><div><br /></div><div>Niall pulled his bags out of his old Rover and quickly unpacked, before taking a good look at his new—albeit temporary—home. It was a hell of a lot nicer than most of the places he usually stayed in, and there’d be no chance he could have afforded the place if it wasn’t off-season. Maybe for a week or two, but certainly not for a couple of months. </div><div>There was still a bitter chill in the April air, but Niall now had a nice stone fireplace at his disposal and he had every intention of putting it to good use. He built himself a small enough fire that it’d be out in time for him to go to dinner with Lucy, and then grabbed himself a beer and his pack. Settling in on the long sofa in front of the fire, he pulled out his materials and got to work, doing his best to tamp down his excitement. </div><div>He’d been looking for the Delphine his entire life, just like his father and grandfather before him. And though he knew he’d never been closer to it than he was now, he also knew how elusive hidden treasures could be. His ancestor, Ronan Campbell, was said to have been a clever man and he no doubt used it to his advantage when it came time to stash his treasure and keep it safe. </div><div>He was betting that Ronan and his feisty lass, Molly, had ended up right here on Mermaid Isle. He damn well hoped so, at any rate. With them had been Bjorn Eirikson, another notorious pirate and Ronan’s fierce rival, not only for the spoils and open seas, but for Molly as well. </div><div>And yet they’d set aside their animosity for the Delphine’s treasure and for Molly, whom they both were in love with. </div><div>He knew that wherever there was an island, there were also rumors of pirate treasure, but the latest clues he’d uncovered pointed to Mermaid Isle—and one Lucy Nordson, descendant of Bjorn and already living on the island in question. </div><div>It had taken him awhile to decipher Ronan’s logbook, the leather-bound pages filled with cryptic messages. Add to it the additional headache of it being written in eighteenth-century Gaelic, and it was no wonder that the treasure remained hidden. But there was more. The location was marked on an encrypted map, but that was only one piece to the puzzle. The other piece was a pendant Ronan had specially made. A pendant with a mermaid engraved on the back of it. It could be just a decorative touch, or it could be pointing to Mermaid Isle. </div><div>When the two pirates parted ways, Ronan had the pendant and the girl, and Bjorn had the map. Now all he needed to do was figure out if Lucy had the map in her possession. </div><div>Because the pendant? That was already dangling from around his neck. </div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b>***</b></div><div><div><b>Purchase Links: </b></div><div><a href="http://www.amazon.com/Love-Treasure-Mermaid-Isle-Romance-ebook/dp/B00FS1YUZW">Amazon US</a> | <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/Love-Treasure-Mermaid-Isle-Romance-ebook/dp/B00FS1YUZW">Amazon UK</a></div></div></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/1393296_225146740986681_93130859_n.jpg?oh=3300d079d32acaa1373963fbbbb77a46&oe=5276B0B9&__gda__=1383561723_f7dbdc2d70c1856790befde66fc53ebf" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://fbcdn-sphotos-h-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/v/1393296_225146740986681_93130859_n.jpg?oh=3300d079d32acaa1373963fbbbb77a46&oe=5276B0B9&__gda__=1383561723_f7dbdc2d70c1856790befde66fc53ebf" width="213" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Book Synopsis:</b></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><span style="background-color: white; font-family: verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Riley Carter’s never found anyone who could live up to her first love, Thorsen Black.

It was one of the few books that I have followed the teasers on. Not that I don't read teasers from other books, but I don't follow many of them. To teasers are like movie trailers and often will highlight the best parts and leave you saying "What the hell?" at the end of it all. So I'll read a teaser, but usually that is about it. A teaser. This one however, I read them all an longed to read the book. Time passed far far too slowly.

After his last favor to his friend, he decided that the person he has become needs to be far away from anyone. He was set on a life of exile until Winston finds a woman washed up on the shore of his island.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Thalia is a woman who has seen the evil in the world and one of the few that has lived to talk about it. She survived more than you can imagine and even more than she can remember. She has one goal and knows the results of pursuing this goal, but pursues it nonetheless. It was the last thing she promised her uncle and as far as she's concerned it will be the last thing she did.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNxEJbryBL4m2a9Clyi6H_ZrYc5OotCM8SBm2ZQaMMV3D6VuKqN55npi02zJvFbPqc65jddZb4DIhx1szrqe2HWHbeJtnS4cNuVebLxcNLQaPII0VjMNc2ef1FzFOg-4d5b-W64-8mQJYv/s1600/sc+tease+1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNxEJbryBL4m2a9Clyi6H_ZrYc5OotCM8SBm2ZQaMMV3D6VuKqN55npi02zJvFbPqc65jddZb4DIhx1szrqe2HWHbeJtnS4cNuVebLxcNLQaPII0VjMNc2ef1FzFOg-4d5b-W64-8mQJYv/s320/sc+tease+1.jpg" width="238" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I had a hard time putting this book down when I had to. This book is an addictive read and snags you right out of the gate. Now it is not an essential part to do, but you should probably read Second Chances before reading this book. Not only to get a better understanding of Grant and who he is, but also because many of the characters from that book appear in this book at one stage or another. <b><a href="http://milesapartbooks.blogspot.com/2013/09/second-chances-by-d-l-roan-review-by-pj.html" target="_blank">For my review of Second Chances please click here.</a></b></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The rollercoaster that these two are sent on throughout this book will pull at you and you wonder what will happen with them as time drags on. Now this book had heat to it as well. No not just heat...its more than that...Not as volcanic as Second Chances, but still burn worthy all the same. (I have a feeling that burning you to your core is exactly what D. L.

Hell there are several points where I felt I couldn't even breath. Grant will break your freaking heart for him and because of him. Thalia your heart is already broken for, but you spend the book trying to glue it together, but keeping those small pieces together is tough...so it seems you spend your time picking up the pieces and watching them fall. Not in a bad way, but a sad you want to see her happy kind of way.</span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div><div style="text-align: left;"><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Both of them deserve to be happy, but for them...neither of them feel they deserve it at all.
