Blurb:
Their relationship changes again when Celia learns the devil takes care of his own.

Edward Fasbender is my savior.

From the ashes of who I once was, he is helping me to rise.

He has a list of people who have wronged him. And now he’s adding names to that list. Names that I gave him.

And we will have our revenge.

 

 

Excerpt:
Inside the windowed room, I set one of the glasses on a table next to the loveseat then dimmed the overhead before taking the other glass to the armchair across from it. The string of lights that had been put up outside for the party were still lit, creating a romantic mood. Not exactly what I was going for, but it would do. In my experience, the darker setting made confessions easier.

I stretched my neck, easing the knots there as I looked out over the yard. The day had been busy and full, and the party had been, by all accounts, successful, but I’d spent the entire time preoccupied with Edward. Even when entertaining strangers or running around trying to find Ilsa to tell her we were out of toilet paper, I’d been aware of my husband. He was a magnetic force, always pulling my thoughts and my body in his direction. Like gravity holding me in his orbit.

I’d never felt that way about anyone before. Not just that in love but also that attached. I was still reeling from the newness of it, eighteen months after we’d wed.

I was also still adjusting to the way he affected me. How he’d brought me peace yet could stir up levels of jealousy within me that I’d never thought possible. His trip to the garden with Marion was innocent—it had to be considering the way he grinned at me when he’d returned. The devil himself wouldn’t flaunt his discretions so openly.

Would he?

My Review…

This story just gets more and more interesting.

The reader gets to dive more and more into the psyche of both Celia and Edward. The way that Ms. Paige writes brings the reader into their world is amazing and feels so genuine.  The atrocities and damage that has been done to Celia, the need for vengeance and revenge for Edward burn up the pages and I couldn’t put it down until the end.

This brings Celia’s past to the forefront, I continue to empathize with her and how she is evolving into a more relatable character.  I continued to understand why she was so cold and calculating and how Edward had to break her down to help her build herself back up again.  I also admired how even though all that she still has steel in her spine and isn’t afraid to fight back for what she truly believes in.

Edward continues to be a man you almost hate to love, but he continues to surprise me and I am seeing some real redeemable qualities to him.  He truly wants Celia to come around to his way of thinking concerning his need for revenge.

This third book was amazing and the ending!!! Oh my me, I cannot wait until May!

Synopsis

When the definition of love becomes skewed, who will pay the price?

Sarah Bradley is the type of woman other women envy.

Accomplished. Free-spirited. Fun loving.

Befriended by all.

But what if her best qualities were the very things that lead into her worse nightmare?

While partying with friends, her world opens to future possibilities.

Future dreams. A future named Jackson.

Jackson Ember is the guy every woman wished was by her side.

Mesmerizing gaze. Easy on the eyes. Open minded.

A sense of humor with a warm heart.

When Jackson agrees to join his friend at a party, he never imagined he’d meet a woman like Sarah.

A woman he hopes to become better acquainted with.

But Jackson isn’t the only person fascinated with Sarah.

A gravitational pull.

A soul quenching desire.

A distorted devotion aiming to ruin it all.

My Review…

This is the first book by this author and it made me smolder!

This story has all the hallmarks of a good romantic thriller, it’s got the heat, the heart, mystery and thrilling action!

This is the story of Sarah and Jackson.

Sarah is boho chic! She is happy with her world of friends. She thinks her world is fulfilled and then she meets Jackson and realizes that her soul is calling out to him. When her world start to crumble and she feels vulnerable and scared she relies on both her best friends and Jackson to help her through.

Jackson is a true swoony hero, he is what every alpha should be.  He is there when Sarah needs him and knows when to step back and let her shine on her own.

This story has a mystery that kept me guessing until the very end!  The hints and innuendos that Ms. Autumn relayed throughout the story had me thinking it’s this character or nope, no, it’s this character! So, so good!

I can’t wait to see what she comes out with next!!

A shattered family, broken hearts, and healing love.

Finding Him, an all-new standalone in the Covet duet by New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken is LIVE!

Copy of VanDyken-Finding Him-27420-CV-FT-V4.jpg

Coming out of a coma was one hell of a wake-up call. While I was in the dark, my estranged twin brother, Bridge, had replaced me in the company I owned and swept up my fiancée in the takeover. With my ruthless reputation, can I blame them for falling in love? I have to look long and hard at where I’ve been and where I’m headed. Alone time? The universe has other plans.

Our family’s secluded Vermont cabin comes with a gorgeous—if at first unwelcoming—surprise. She’s renter Keaton Westbrook, a social media superstar struggling with her own private grief. As a winter storm bears down, we’ve found something to keep us warm—an intimacy neither of us expected and both of us need.

After we say goodbye, what happens then? Keaton and I are longing to reconcile with our painful pasts. I can’t bear to do it without her. Is it too much to ask of fate to give us a second chance at life and love?

My Review…

Covet Series

Oh my me.  This story, this duet of books is going to give you all the feels.

This is Julian’s story.  Waking up from a coma to find his whole world has changed.  To see and learn things so upheaving and mind-blowing that he is struggling to cope.

Now I will admit, I was a bit leery going into this story.  The first book in this series,  Stealing Her, had painted Julian in a twisted color.  He seemed arrogant and selfish and almost unredeemable.

But a true testament to the talent and magic of Ms. Van Dkyen’s writing and storytelling skills was this story, Finding Him. Because that is what this story is about.  Seeing and finding the real Julian.  And that’s what Keaton did, she found the man, the beautiful soul behind all the drama and negativity.

Keaton is suffering too, she has had one of the most tragic losses anyone can face. Unfortunately being in the spotlight the way she has been all her life can create a whole new set of problems on how to proceed with tragedy and loss.

I absolutely loved this story, I cried, I laughed and I also cheered hard for Julain! Bravo sir for standing up for what your heart wanted and for not taking just “enough” but for demanding it all!

From New York Times bestselling author Karina Halle comes a seductive novel of riches, romance, and redemption.

Disavow, book three in the Dumont series, is live!

disavow cover.jpg

In the Dumont fashion empire, no heir has a reputation as decadent, arrogant, and ruthless as that of Pascal Dumont. Every transgression, an indecent pleasure. Every woman, a conquest. And none is more challenging than his new personal assistant, Gabrielle Caron. She’s defiant, alluring, and a mystery Pascal can’t wait to solve.

A former family servant and daughter of the head maid, Gabrielle’s returned as suddenly as she left eight years ago. No longer an awkward teen, the ethereal young beauty has amassed a wealth of resolve. She’ll need it. In hire to the devilishly charming scion, she’s come back for one reason only. And she dare not whisper why.

But as the nights grow more intimate at the Dumont maison, Gabrielle realizes that the last man she believed in is the one man she can trust with her secrets. For Pascal, falling in love means more than his own redemption. It could mean saving Gabrielle’s very life as they confront a dark and scandalous past…together.

My Review…

The Dumonts

What a finale! Ms. Hale saved the best for last.  The character you loved to hate in the previous stories in this series, Pascal, gets his moment to tell his story.

Pascal Dumont the villain, the hated Dumont.  He gets his chance at redemption in this story and Ms. Hale amazes me with her ability to take such a reviled character and bring him to heroism.

This story of Pascal and Gabrielle brings the Dumonts full circle.  Secrets are revealed, mysteries are solved and the devil is forced to pay his dues.

This was a beautifully written story, set in the beautiful country of France and Spain.  Ms. Hale has such a talent for bringing vision to her words.  You can see yourself on the cliffs of Mallorca to the historical beauty of Paris.

The love between Pascal and Gabrielle is hard-fought.  It was fragile and vulnerable until it needed to be strong. And it so was! Both Pascal and Gabrielle’s pasts were fraught with ugliness and scars but they fit each other perfectly.

If you are looking for a lush, beautiful story, get your hands on this.  In fact get your hands on the whole series.

Blurb:
Swallowing lies has never felt so good.

Reed freaking Rivers. I wouldn’t trust a word out of the arrogant music mogul’s mouth if his gold-plated tongue were notarized. The Man with the Midas Touch would say anything to get me into his bed, and I know it. But that doesn’t mean I don’t want him to succeed.

Indeed, the moment I laid eyes on Reed while he was speaking at an on-campus event I’d crashed, my body physically ached to feel his golden fingers—and tongue—all over me. Unfortunately, though, I can’t give into my powerful craving to jump Reed’s cocky bones. Not until I’ve figured out my best strategy with him . . .

The truth is Reed has something I desperately want. Something my heart desires even more than my body craves one night of delicious fun with the yummiest man alive. Reed assumes he’s running this game of seduction. He thinks he’s a thirty-four-year-old big cat on the prowl, and I’m nothing but a blushing twenty-one-year old field mouse with stars in my eyes.

Yeah . . . no.

As Reed is about to find out, he’s not the only cat on the hunt in this game of cat-and-mouse . . . .

BAD LIAR is the first book of the standalone REED RIVERS TRILOGY. The full trilogy is BAD LIAR, BEAUTIFUL LIAR, and BELOVED LIAR, to be read in order.

My Review…

Gah!!! What a smoking hot introduction to this new trilogy by the phenomenal author!

This is the first book in the Reed Rivers trilogy.

The chemistry between Georgina and Reed is like rocket fuel! So, so hawt!

I am so loving this deep dive into the character of Reed.  He has had a lot thrown at him throughout his life and it has built battle scars.  With the success of his music business he has developed even more walls around himself (and rightly so).

Georgina is hungry, she is fierce and she too has built walls around herself.  She is the perfect person for Reed.  I can’t wait to find out more about her in the upcoming books!

The dialogue between Reed and Georgina is whip-smart and so smexy!  This is a fun, fresh and fantastic story! I have yet to read anything by Lauren Rowe that hasn’t rocked me!

This is a totally stand-alone series but since I have read everything that Ms. Rowe has written, I loved seeing past characters making appearances! It was like a little reunion!

I am going to be waiting not so patiently for the next book in this series!  So well done!

A Thousand Letters, a standalone in Staci Hart’s Austen Series, is FREE for a limited time! A modern day retelling of Jane Austen’s Persuasion with all the heartfelt emotion and romance you could want?! Yes please! Grab your FREE copy today from your favorite retailer!

Amazon | B&N | AppleBooks | Kobo | Google

Sometimes your life is split by a single decision.

I’ve spent every day of the last seven years regretting mine: he left, and I didn’t follow. A thousand letters went unanswered, my words like petals in the wind, spinning away into nothing, taking me with them.

But now he’s back.

I barely recognize the man he’s become, but I can still see a glimmer of the boy who asked me to be his forever, the boy I walked away from when I was young and afraid.

Maybe if he’d come home under better circumstances, he could speak to me without anger in his voice. Maybe if I’d said yes all those years ago, he’d look at me without the weight of rejection in his eyes. Maybe if things were different, we would have had a chance.

One regretted decision sent him away. One painful journey brought him back to me. I only wish I could keep him.

*A contemporary romance inspired by Jane Austen’s Persuasion*

Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life — a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can’t forget that. She’s also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She’s been a wife, though she’s certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She’s also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she’s been drinking whiskey. When she’s not writing, she’s reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.

My Review…

Indianapolis Lightning – Book One

The end is just the beginning of this new story and a new series by Samantha Lind.

This is the story of the marriage between Derrick and Jillian Smyth. It’s about love and family and sometimes having to hit absolute rock bottom to see the light of the future in front of you!

This story is the beginning of what I am sure to be a fantastic new series about the Indianapolis Lightning baseball team!

I love the simplicity of the story and the complexities of the marriage.  Ms. Lind has a wonderful talent for taking the normal world and turning it extraordinal!

I admired the determination of Derek in his resoluteness of getting what he wants.  He is a star pitcher for the Lightning and fame sometimes can bring the downfall of a person.  He finally puts his family to the forefront and it’s fun to read the way he goes about wooing Jillian.

Jillian is grace under pressure, she has been burned and she is slow and steady in moving forward.  Her love for Derek never waivers.  Her trust in him is fragile but deep down she knows what she wants and will do what she has to for her kids and her husband.

Way to go Samantha!! I cannot wait to see where this new team of characters takes us in the future!

Add to Goodreads:

Blurb:

Derek Prince is a quadruple threat.

He can sing, dance, act, and charm the panties off me without breaking a sweat.

And now that I’m in his new movie, shaking my sequined-covered butt right in front of him, these panties are going nowhere but down.

 

Instead of serving cocktails in a karaoke joint, this broke little barmaid is finally moving up in the world.

I’ve been cast in Derek’s new movie, but there’s a massive catch.

His jealous costar wants him for herself.

In exchange for a shot at my dream, I promised her I’d stay away from him.

 

But Derek’s relentless pursuit of me is creating all sorts of new dreams.

Steamy ones.

One look from him and I’m breathless.

One dance with him and I’m tempted.

One night with him and I’ll be lost.

 

After always wanting to be part of his world, he wants to be a part of mine.

I want to say yes, but the stakes are sky high.

My dream, this movie, and his career could be on the line.

Oh, and my heart.

That too…

 

‘The Little Barmaid’ is a sweet and sexy romcom featuring a cocky movie star hero and a stubborn, sassy heroine on a crazy road to happily ever after. It stands alone with no cheating, cliffhangers, or nonsense.

The ghosts of my past haunt my future.

The money. The hook-ups. The ad agency. The friends.

I’d give it all up in a heartbeat, for the one thing I want, but don’t have.

Her.

 

Mel

I’ve worked so hard and sacrificed so much to get where I am.

I should be proud of my achievements.

Instead, my success is marred by guilt.

It weighs heavy on my mind day and night.

My future is apparently bright.

Yet I can’t seem to shake the ghosts of my past.

Each day I remind myself what I have, and try to forget what I’ve lost.

Him.

Excerpt
I reached for the hand laying lightly curled in her lap, and as though I had every right to, drew it into my other hand, laying it there, the palm facing upward. With the index finger of the first hand, I traced simple and repetitive patterns in her palm. Neither of us spoke, as though hypnotized by the motion, and the silence between us was leaden with more unspoken words than the Library of Congress.
I couldn’t tell if the shit between us, the extremely weighty baggage, was piling higher or dissolving, but either way, I felt a distinct shift take place in that moment. Looking into Melissa’s eyes I was sure she felt it too. Life is made up of moments. Some meaningful, some not.

Some pivotal, some inconsequential. Some memorable, some forgettable. Some
joyful, some regrettable. I took a facsimile of this one in my mind. I knew I’d be referring back to it often. It was meaningful, pivotal, memorable and joyful. It was a new beginning after an old end.
I was the first to break the spell, though not with words.
With the hand that had been circling Mel’s palm, I gently raised her chin, still staring directly into her eyes, before looking down slightly at the rhythmic rise and fall of her chest as it became more erratic. Her gaze didn’t waver, and as I raised my eyes again to meet hers, they were there waiting for me. I wanted to smile, to do something to acknowledge the moment, but my features wouldn’t play ball. All I could do was stare, naked desire ablaze in my eyes.
I leaned forward, resting my forehead to hers, my breathing now mirroring hers in rapid stuttering jolts, each one tearing through my lungs like I’d run a marathon. I waited for her to say or do something. To encourage me or warn me off. She kept deadly still. Again the onus was on me, to make a move. I hesitated again, knowing we were headed for the point of no return, if we hadn’t already passed it. I knew that if we crossed this line, there was no going back. I waited a beat more, buying myself time to back out. To think reasonably and rationally about what I was doing, and act accordingly.
Screw that. The moment was there and then gone, and I knew that forward was the only direction we’d be moving, even if it felt far riskier than going backwards. I tilted my head slightly, angling my lips towards hers before lightly grazing hers with mine. Christ. I knew there and then that I should stop, that this wasn’t going to end well. I mean, who was I kidding, it had already ended badly for us in the past, why would this time be any different?
Author Bio
MV ELLIS knows what it’s like to fall head over heels in love with a badass musician. She followed her heart halfway around the world to be with one. She moved from London to Sydney after a steamy holiday romance with a sexy bass player in sultry Brazil.
Twelve years, two children and a dog later, and she’s still smitten. All this with a guy she sat next to on a bus for 36 hours! She has toured internationally as a “WAG,” and her experiences inspire her writing.
Ellis’s love of romance began when she was 11 years old, after a summer spent secretly reading her auntie’s books. She’s been a sucker for an alpha hero and strong heroine ever since.
An avid reader, Ellis always knew she’d write a book of her own one day. She was right about that. Following a career spanning advertising, marketing, and social media, she finally wrote her debut novel, Catching London in 2017.
