Synopsis

I never knew when he’d come to me. Only that he would.

I’d never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning.

He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. “Drive,” he tells me, and I have no choice. He’s a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams.

The police say he’s dangerously obsessed with me, but I’m the one who can’t stop thinking about him. Maybe it’s wrong to let him touch me. Maybe it’s wrong to touch him back. Maybe these twisted dates need to stop. Except he feels like the only real thing in my world of designer labels and mansions.

So I drive us under threat, until it’s hard to remember I don’t want to be there.

Until it’s too late to turn back.

HOSTAGE is a dangerous standalone romance by New York Times bestselling authors Skye Warren and Annika Martin. It’s set in the same world as PRISONER, but can read separately!

Title: She Asked For It
Author: Willow Winters
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 23, 2018
Blurb
DON’T JUDGE A BOOK BY ITS COVER. 
You’ll tell me you don’t… but you already think you know
what my story’s about.
You have no idea. 
Just like the people sitting in this courtroom. 
She asked for it.  That’s what they keep saying.
And no, it’s not because my skirt was too short or I was
drunk at a party. 
It’s nothing like that.  It’s because of what I like
and how I like it. 
They’re judging me as I sit in the front row, my eyes drawn
to the man on trial. 
If I’d known it was going to end like this, I never would
have gone home with him. 
But he’s the type of man I just can’t say no to. 
I wanted to feel his lips kiss down my neck. 
I dreamed of running my fingers along the rough stubble on
his jaw.
I craved his hands on me, pinning me down.
I needed to whisper his name in the dark, late at
night. 
You still think you know what happened? You don’t. 
He’s innocent and I enjoyed every second I was with him.
Let me tell you my story … all about how I asked for it.

“My heart has been pulled every direction possible. Inferno is scorching hot and will set your body on fire. ” – Goodreads Reviewer

Inferno, Part Two by T.K. Leigh is releasing February 1, 2018!

Once upon a time, a mysterious, passionate man opened my eyes to things I’d been blind to, my heart to feelings I never thought imaginable, my mind to endless possibilities.

Once upon a time, I experienced something I didn’t think existed in real life.

Once upon a time, I learned how to fly.

Little did I know it was with broken wings. Ones that were irreparable after a lifetime of being caged.

About COME AS YOU ARE (Coming 4/16/2018):

I couldn’t have scripted a more perfect night.

For one fantastic evening, at a masquerade party in the heart of Manhattan, I’m not the millionaire everyone wants a piece of. Fine—multimillionaire. But who’s counting all those commas? Not me, and not the most intriguing woman I’ve ever met, who happens to like dancing, witty banter, and hot, passionate up-against-the-wall sex as much as I do.

There’s no need for names or business cards. And that’s why I’m eager to get to know her more, since my mystery woman seems to like me for me, rather than for my huge…bank account.

Everything’s coming up aces. Until the next day when things get a little complicated. (Newsflash — a lot complicated.)

***

He’s charming, brilliant, an incredible lover, and right now I want to stab fate in the eyeballs.

I’ve had one goal I’ve been working toward, and lo and behold, my mystery man is the very person who stands between me and my dream job. A job I desperately need since my hard-knock life has nothing in common with his star-kissed one.

But it’s time to put that fairytale night behind me, and focus on learning what makes him tick. Too bad it turns out his quirks are my quirks, and his love affair with New York matches mine.

And as we spend our days together, I discover something else that feels like a cruel twist of fate — I’m falling for this naughty prince charming, and that’s not an ending I can write to our story.

Title: Reckless

Series: Bound by Cage #4

Author: Brittany Crowley

Genre: Sports Romance

Release Date: January 24, 2018

 

Blurb

 

Kyle- I’m MMA’s notorious bad boy, taking down opponents is what I do
best. Groupies fall at my feet and everyone bends over backwards to please me.
In my world I’m the king.

But what if living my life full throttle isn’t all it’s cracked up to be?
Looking into my son’s eyes makes me realize there’s more… maybe I’ve screwed
up these last five years. But can I change?
Sophie- Sometimes in life timing is everything. I was meant to love Kyle Cage
but it wasn’t our time. Our story wasn’t meant to be written.

Instead I was left with a broken heart and a little boy that reminds me
everyday of the man I loved so many years ago. But my son makes me want to do
better, be stronger and I’m determined to give us a good life.

Now Kyle’s back in town and he wants a chance to know his son, to be in our
lives. Can I get past the hurt? Can he be the father Gabe deserves?

Time will tell. I just hope my heart holds out long enough for him to prove
himself.

My Review….

This is the first book I have read by Brittany Crowley and wow, she has a new fan!

Reckless is the story of Kyle “Reckless” Cage and Sophie Frankel.  This is the perfect story of a second chance romance.

When I started reading, ooooo did I not like Kyle, he was an egotistical MMA fighter who had a bit of a Jesus complex. (You know, walk on water, do no wrong.) And so much of a playboy.  I like how Brittany wrote the first part of the book, it’s almost like she wants you to hate him in the beginning, just so you can fall in love harder with him at the end.

Sophie was dealt a crap hand at first, but she gets through it with grace and dignity and so much inner strength.  I couldn’t fault her choices and I was cheering her on.

As the story continues, you see the side of Kyle that Sophie has always loved and in turn you fall in love with him too!

Brittany writes a beautiful second chance romance and I hope to read more from her soon!  Thank you for your words and letting us into your world of characters!

Can’t wait to dive into this one!

 

I never knew when he’d come to me. Only that he would.

 

I’d never even kissed a boy the night I met Stone. The night I saw him kill. The night he spared my life. That was only the beginning.

He turns up in my car again and again, dangerous and full of raw power. “Drive,” he tells me, and I have no choice. He’s a criminal with burning green eyes, invading my life and my dreams.

The police say he’s dangerously obsessed with me, but I’m the one who can’t stop thinking about him. Maybe it’s wrong to let him touch me. Maybe it’s wrong to touch him back. Maybe these twisted dates need to stop. Except he feels like the only real thing in my world of designer labels and mansions.

So I drive us under threat, until it’s hard to remember I don’t want to be there.

Until it’s too late to turn back.

2 Hot Daddy (April 2018)
3 Wild Card (June 2018)
4 TBC (Aug 2018)

Max sets me down gently, and brushes a strand of wet hair from my face. His eyes are stormy blue in the darkness, and his fingertips hot against my face.
My breath catches. My eyes drift to his mouth, and then just like that, he’s pulling me close again, into a hot, reckless kiss.
Ahhh.
God, I’ve been dying to taste him again. His mouth is hard and possessive, claiming mine, and a shudder of lust rolls through me at the feel of him. His hands are all over me, molding me against him as the fire between us blazes hotter, and I forget everything. Like my rules, and our arrangement, and the fact I’ve sworn off men like him . . . None of it matters, not with Max’s tongue doing wicked things to mine, and his body so hard against me.
Very hard.
Hello.

My Review….

 

Very Irresistible Playboy – Billionaire Bachelors: Book 1

This is my first book by this author, but won’t be the last!

This story of Max and Hallie is fantastic! Everything needed for a great romantic comedy! You have the alpha swagger with a touch of sweetness that is Max and you have the feisty, take no prisoners Hallie to compliment him!  The chemistry of these two are on fire! The naughty times were so steamy, I thought my Kindle was gonna fog up! I loved how we got to see both sides of the story with both Hallie and Max’s POVs. The secondary characters were fabulous and want me to know more! There is a bit of angst that makes you want to cheer harder for their happily ever after.

I really enjoyed reading this book, it was refreshing, fun and oh so naughty in the best of ways! I can’t wait to see what happens in the next installment of this series!

Midnight Blue, an all-new sexy standalone from LJ Shen is available NOW!

LJSMidnightBlueBookCover6x9_BW_324

Midnight Blue

Author: LJ Shen

Release Date: January 18th

It should have been easy.

I needed the money. He needed a babysitter to keep him from snorting himself to death.

I was cherry-picked especially for him. Responsible. Optimistic. Warm. Innocent.

The worst part is that I should have known better.

Alex Winslow. British rock star. Serial heartbreaker. Casanova with whiskey eyes.

“Don’t get near the devil in a leather jacket. He’ll chew you up and spit you out.”

Sounds familiar? That’s because it was a headline in a tabloid the second time he got arrested.

Guess what? I didn’t listen.

I signed the contract.

World tour. Three months. Four Continents. One hundred shows.

My name is Indigo Bellamy, and I sold my soul to a tattooed god.

Problem was, my soul wasn’t enough for Alex Winslow. He ended up taking my body, too.

Then he took my heart.

Then he took my all.

Excerpt:

Nat’s words came back and haunted me like a bad haircut from the eighties. An irrational need to check the goods took over me. It wasn’t like he minded. According to the rumors, his dick had seen more cameras than Kendall Jenner. Slowly—so painfully slowly—my eyes drifted down his sinewy body. I just wanted to see what all the fuss was about. Whatever I had in mind, though, didn’t come close to the real thing. Thick, long but not atrocious. With thin veins running through its length.
“Nice view?” he groaned, tucking his junk back into his briefs. His profile was glorious. Strong jaw, pouty lips, eyes like sex…
My eyes snapped up when I realized he was talking to me. “I wasn’t…”
“Looking? Yes, you were. Next time take a picture. It lasts longer.” He rolled his zipper upward and flushed the toilet with the toe of his boot. He turned around and squirted soap into his palm, washing his hands almost violently—rubbing between each finger and scratching his knuckles like he wanted to shed his own skin. When he was done, he looked around for a towel.
I cleared my throat, scrambling to regain my wits. “Longer than the glimpse or longer than your performance?”
Casually—so unbearably casually—he wiped his wet hands over my purple dress. I gasped, moving sideways. It looked like he was about to open the door and get out, but before I had the chance to yell at him for using me as a human towel, he slammed me against the wall, bracing both his arms above my head and pinning me to my spot. I let out a shriek of surprise at the sudden proximity.
Alex Winslow is touching me. Willingly, my surprisingly pitiful brain squealed.
Heat rolled off his body, making my back arch and my breath catch in my throat.
“Let’s make one thing clear—I could fuck you to a point of numbness without even breaking a sweat if I wanted to. Now, careful, New Girl. If you don’t keep your distance from me, I think I just might.”

My Review!

How is your soul feeling today?

That’s the start of this book and let me tell you, L.J. puts your soul through the wringer with this one!

This story of Indigo and Alex is amazing!

Alex is the epitome of a tortured musician. LJ never sugarcoats her characters, she makes them real, she makes them dark, she makes them gritty and swoony with a capital “S”! Alex is no exception, add to that the British element and wowza, what a hero (or anti-hero for some of the book, which is amazing).

Indigo develops a lot of nicknames in this story and they are all poignant. She is strong, she is fierce and she doesn’t take any crap from anyone! The best of the best heroine! Her back story is so moving and really shapes her to the person she becomes.

Alex and Indigo’s love story is rocky, and it’s hard, and again, LJ doesn’t sugarcoat it.  That’s what makes this story so good, you have to get through the ugly to get to the beautiful and it was so worth it.

This story is gonna stick with me for a while, I hope when you read it, it will stick to you too!

Thank you for your words L.J.!  And thank you for bring us into your world of characters and stories!
