The Forbidden Billionaire

The Forbidden Billionaire by J.S. Scott was another AMAZING story. Jared was tortured by an event in his past and that prevented him from believing he should find love. Mara was a struggling doll maker who wanted to keep her failing shop open to preserve the memory of her mom and grandma, but was devastated when she found out someone had purchased her building and she was being evicted from bother her shop and her home. Jared has already been intrigued by Mara and he offers to help her start a new business. This allows them to spend more time together and they start falling for each other. Once Jared's secrets are revealed will Mara stick with him tho? I found this story very hard to put down to do silly things like eat, sleep, and work. It was addicting, compelling, and hooked me from the beginning. It gets 5 stars from me and I can't wait for more books from J.S. Scott.

All of Jared Sinclair’s wealth still can’t ease the pain from his terrible childhood… or his guilt over a recent tragedy. Unable to forgive himself, the billionaire property investor buries his emotions, toughens his skin, and becomes a notorious womanizer, refusing to commit his heart to a woman when he’s convinced she wants only his wallet.

But ever since Jared arrived in Amesport, Maine, he’s been intrigued by Mara Ross, the petite and sexy shop owner who asks nothing of him. When Mara’s store is purchased without her knowledge, she stands on the brink of losing her home, her livelihood, and generations of family history. Then the irresistibly persuasive Jared proposes a business deal to Mara… and soon draws her into a steamy, sensual affair, convincing her that he’s anything but cold. However, when a revelation shakes Mara’s fragile trust to the core, Jared must finally confront the truth about his past.

Dangerous Concoctions

Dangerous Concoctions by Victoria Bright is part 2 of the Curvy Assignments story and I enjoyed it as much as the first. The first book was written from Arianna's perspective and this book was written from Zane's perspective. I enjoyed both perspectives and really liked finding out what was going through each of their brains. I could predict a lot of what was going to happen in this story and found myself wanting to scream at Zane to go with his gut. Now, if he had we wouldn't have had nearly as much of a story, so that obviously couldn't happen. The suspense was there and the story was well written. There are only 2 things that could have made this story better: 1) if it hadn't been part 2, but in the same story as the first, and 2) if we'd had both character's perspectives in both books. Either way, I still really enjoyed this book and give it 4.5 stars. Note: I was given a free copy in exchange for an honest review

Mixing the past and present could have dangerous consequences…

I’ve always been a man of second chances, forgiving Arianna proved that. Sometimes, a second opportunity was all someone needed to do things right. I knew that better than anyone. Now that I had my girl back and business was prospering, things were finally falling into place. Little did I know, my newfound happiness wouldn’t last very long.

When a man responsible for my near demise resurfaces, my life is shaken up once again. What seemed like an innocent, harmless favor quickly turned out to be a malicious scheme that put my business, relationship, and freedom at risk.

With time running out, I race around the city piecing together the complicated puzzle I was a part of, only to come face to face with the men responsible. In this erotic suspense, will my past repeat itself in order to settle a score or am I doomed to take the fall for something I didn’t do?

Out of Time Release day Blitz

When you're out of time, you make mistakes.

When TREX Agent Chris McKoy watched his future walk away, he never expected to find her five years later on the wrong side of a deadly mission where nothing is as it seems. Instead of convincing her to turn herself in, he takes it too far and gets arrested for attempted assault. One more screw up and he's out of the agency. With nothing left to lose and everything to gain, he poses as a player in the live action role-playing community to regain her trust—under false pretenses. Desperate times call for desperate measures.

Bethany Page had no idea when she agreed to be theTimeinatrixin a LARP game she'd end up in the middle of a plot that, if successful, would net billions of dollars for the master of the game. She has one job—deliver the contents of the thumb drives collected in the game with no questions asked. When she uncovers her part in the plot and winds up with a target on her back, she turns to Chris for help. She’s in over her head, and she knows it.

Sometimes those mistakes lead you home.

Now it’s up to Chris to keep the feisty, beautiful LARPer safe as TREX tracks down the master of the game, all while fighting the passion burning between them. He’ll die before he puts her in harm’s way… And it just may come to that.

Never in your wildest dreams could you begin to imagine all the filthy and depraved things that go on inside The Wicked Horse. Step inside and Woolf Jennings will make every one of your dirty fantasies come true. 

He’s covered in a facade of deception. An enticing blend of multi-millionaire and hot-as-hell Wyoming rancher, those that think they know Woolf Jennings admire his abilities to preside as CEO of his family’s cattle and oil empire. But only a privileged few truly understand what fuels the glitter of depravity in those gorgeous blue eyes. Only a few know he’s opened up a sinfully erotic and private sex club named The Wicked Horse right at the base of the beautiful Teton Mountain range. 

Sweet Callie Hayes has returned home to Wyoming and is looking forward to starting her life over again. After a night of impetuosity, she’s managed to put herself right in Woolf’s line of sight… the man who she foolishly offered up her virginity to years ago and was flatly turned down. 

Now Woolf is seeing that Callie is all grown up and has a kinky side to her that leaves him as confused as it does turned on. Worse yet, both Callie’s dirty desires and sweet heart are getting under his skin, and making Woolf question everything he’s ever believed about himself.

Everything I Left Unsaid

Everything I Left Unsaid by Molly O'Keefe was a unique and captivating story. Annie left her abusive husband and ended up renting a trailer. Well, the day she moved in she heard a phone ringing in the trailer. She answered it and that started her on a journey to self discovery and the voice on the other end helped her with that journey. Dylan was just a voice for the longest time and they both had secrets that they weren't willing to share with the other, but there was a connection that neither could deny. This was a good book except for two things: 1) the book is a cliffhanger. It ends in a way that makes you want to reach for the next book, and 2) Annie's perspective is in first person, but Dylan's perspective is in third. That to me is a little odd and it kinda threw me off at times. As someone who gets really annoyed by cliffhangers, this brought down the book for me. I probably would have rated this book 5 stars if it had been a complete story. With things the way they are, I have to rate the book 4 stars. I am looking forward to the next book and will be reading it, but I'm hoping it finishes with the next one and doesn't go on to a third book.

Amazon
Goodreads

Fans of Jodi Ellen Malpas, K. Bromberg, and Joanna Wylde will be unable to resist this sexy, deeply intimate tale of a woman running from her past, and the darkly mysterious man who sets her free.

I didn’t think answering someone else’s cellphone would change my life. But the stranger with the low, deep voice on the other end of the line tempted me, awakened my body, set me on fire. He was looking for someone else. Instead he found me.

And I found a hot, secret world where I felt alive for the first time.

His name was Dylan, and, strangely, he made me feel safe. Desired. Compelled. Every dark thing he asked me to do, I did. Without question. I longed to meet him, but we were both keeping secrets. And mine were dangerous. If I took the first step, if I got closer to Dylan—emotionally, physically—then I wouldn’t be hiding anymore. I would be exposed, with nothing left to surrender but the truth. And my truth could hurt us both.

Hot in the Hamptons Cover Reveal

 

Today we are featuring the cover reveal for the HOT IN THE HAMPTONS series! This series includes the titles SUMMER SINS by Jennifer Probst, SUMMER DREAMING by Liz Matis, and SUMMER TEMPTATION by Wendy S. Marcus.

The HOT IN THE HAMPTONS series

will be released August 4th, 2015.

Blurb:

I’m looking for a hero. Not.

You’d think as a new college grad I’d be looking for the perfect job and the perfect man. Well, I’m not. Summer is here and instead of plotting my future, I’m playing in the Hamptons with my two best friends. Sun and sex is all I’m

looking for. Then I meet Sean Dempsey, my fantasy lifeguard in the flesh. But he is more than just a hot bod with a whistle. And after he makes a daring save, I’m thinking a hero is exactly what I’ve been looking for all along.

To the rescue...

By day I guard the beaches in the Hamptons, by night I’ve had my fair share of summer flings. Then I meet Kelsey Mitchell, a girl with eyes like the setting

sun and I burn for more. Something I have no right to ask of her...forever.

Love burns hotter in the Hamptons. Come play.

-----------------------------

Blurb:

Summer fun before my wedding...

I have one goal this summer. Hang with my besties for some much needed sun, sand, and relaxation while I put the final touches on my idyllic wedding. I didn't count on meeting a smart-mouthed, bad boy biker whose gaze burns hotter than a beach bonfire. I never planned to lose myself, body and soul, and question my entire future. Now, I have to make a choice that’s tearing me apart, and could shatter the lives of the two men I love...

Turns into summer sins....

I have one goal this summer. CHILL. Do nothing. Nada. I need simple before I have to head into Manhattan to take on a high powered position on Wall Street. I didn't count on a dark haired, inky- eyed spitfire who'd spin my world upside down, or make me burn for things I never thought I wanted. I vowed to make her my summer fling, but had no idea she was claimed by another. And now that she possessed not only my body but my soul, the stakes are too high for me to lose her...

Love burns hotter in the Hamptons. Come play.

-----------------------------

Blurb: Meet Leigh DeGray... After graduating college with honors and landing the job of my dreams in New York City, I’m off to The Hamptons to spend the summer with my two best friends. My life seems perfect, right? It’s not. The truth is, I have a secret that may make the future I’d planned so carefully completely fall apart. A hot summer romance is the absolute last thing I’m looking for... Until I meet a man who tempts me like no other and shows me a hot summer romance is exactly what I need. Meet Nick Kenzy... After two years of working my ass off as a Wall Street analyst, I’m out of a job, with no warning, no thank you, and no severance. Am I angry? You’re damn right I am. So when I head to the Hamptons for the weekend to spend time with my granddad, I plan to regroup and relax before I return to the city to hit the job search hard. I don’t need any distractions. Then I meet Leigh. Suddenly, a summer temptation makes me question everything I want for my future... Love burns hotter in the Hamptons. Come play. -----------------------------

The Heat of the Moment

The Heat of the Moment by Katie Rose is the third book in her Boys of Summer series. I started this book with the intention of reading a few chapters before bed. Instead I read the first 29 chapters before finally forcing myself to put it down and go to sleep. I finished the book the next day and I absolutely loved it. Jess is a strong woman, but after what her ex did to her, she was completely against dating another baseball player. When she started helping Gavin rehab his knee, Gavin had a girlfriend. Well, there was a connection between the two and shortly after Gavin was dumped. That allowed Jess and Gavin to eventually give into their immediate chemistry. This book was very well written and moved along at a quick enough pace without losing anything by moving too fast. I highly recommend this book and give it 5 stars. Katie Rose has another hit on her hands and I can't wait for more in this series!

Amazon
Goodreads
The Boys of Summer are back! In Katie Rose’s sweet, sparkling novel, the newest New Jersey Sonic falls for the woman who’s trying desperately to save his career.

Physical therapist Jessica Hart has learned her lesson: Never date professional athletes. She’s been down that road, and barely recovered after the relationship crashed and burned. Then Jessica meets Gavin King. An All-Star slugger with chiseled good looks, Gavin was traded to the Sonics because he hurt his knee sliding into second, and now his future is in her hands. Gavin’s no bad boy—but he’s tempting enough to make Jessica think twice about all her rules.

Gavin is trying to find a comfortable routine. If he wants his old life back, he must take it easy, stay out of the limelight, and keep his distance from gorgeous redheaded physical therapists. The thing is, Gavin isn’t the kind of guy to sit on his ass and let other people pull his weight. And when he sees something he wants, he can’t help but fight for it, even if it means risking everything, even if it only lasts a single moment: like one kiss from Jessica.

Shadow Strike

Shadow Strike is the 6th book in Dianne Duvall's Immortal Guardians series. I was hooked from page one and had an impossible time putting this book down to do silly things like sleep and work. Heather is such a strong character and the perfect match for Ethan. She ends up protecting him a couple of times and he gets mad at her for it because he has begun caring for her and can't imagine losing her. This story is a stand alone, but there is also a story that has been going through the entire series so it would benefit a reader to start from the beginning. Ethan and Heather were perfect together and it was fun watching them fall in love while seeing how they both handled the threat to everyone. Each book in this series gets better and Dianne Duvall is an auto buy for me. This book gets 5 stars from me and is a must buy.

U.S. law enforcement agent Heather Lane can read minds. But not the future. The dream of battle and blood that recurs every night must be a fluke, some obscure terror from her own mind. What its significance might be, she can’t guess: an attack from seven psychotic vampires at once, only separated from nightmare by an eighth very different immortal. A handsome, brave man fighting at her side, a man she misses when she wakes.

Then the dream comes true. Heather is flung into a war between predators and protectors of humanity, the man from her dreams beside her again. Except now that she’s awake, she isn’t sure she can trust Ethan, or the shadow organization he represents. The U.S. military doesn’t trust either of them. But against an onslaught of evil like the one that’s coming, it will take everything they have just to survive...

Seduced by the Baron

Seduced by the Baron by Amy Andrews is the fourth and final book in the Fairy Tales of New York series and it was my personal favorite. The writing sucked me in from page one and I found myself falling for Raf right along with Faith. She put her life on hold when her father had a heart attack, and Raf helped her realize that. Raf had a philosophy of love the one you're with and when he and Faith decide to start dating, they agree that their arrangement is temporary. There was a lot of HOT sex and it added to the story. Watching them fall was wonderful, but I could easily predict what was going to cause the big problem for the two of them. This book had parallels with Cinderella and it was easy to see the references. This book was easy to rate 5 stars and I will DEFINITELY be rereading it and falling for Raf all over again.

Amazon

Goodreads

Once upon a time, Faith Sullivan dreamed of being a famous painter who lived in an apartment overlooking Central Park. Unfortunately, life had other ideas and at 26, she’s still running, working and living at Sully’s, her family’s traditional Irish pub in Brooklyn with her stubborn, ailing father. And she was perfectly fine with her lot until suddenly her three best friends each found their prince, and her own happily ever after seemed like another dream lost. Until one day a long, tall Australian walks into her bar and her loved-up besties decided to play Fairy Godmothers.

Ex pro-surfer turned beer baron, Rafael Quartermaine is in New York for a month on business. He’s looking for a pub to launch Baron lager on the American market and Sully’s is perfect. All he has to do is convince Faith, the traditionalist, to say yes. And once he’s done that, maybe he can convince her that all work and no play makes Faith a dull girl.

Faith’s connection to her family and Sully’s is absolute, and Raf’s business drive and itchy feet aren’t conducive to long term, so it should be an easy break when duty calls Faith back into the fold on the evening of the ball. But running out on the baron is harder than she ever imagined… Will their fling sizzle out, or become something more?

Taming the Beast

Taming the Beast by Lucy King is the third book in the Fairy Tales of New York series. Beauty and the Beast is my absolute favorite Disney movie, so my expectations for this book were probably too high to be realistic. That being said, I enjoyed reading Seb and Mercy's love story. Mercy has had a crush on Seb for years and they did hook up once about 5 years previous. She thinks it was because he was trying to distract her, but in reality it was because Seb couldn't resist her. Seb had ghosts from his past that haunted him and caused himself to isolate himself and earn the nickname the Beast from his younger sister Zel. Mercy wants to help Seb work through his ghosts, but he tells Mercy that if they are going to be together they must keep it casual and she's not allowed to try to fix him. Well, that doesn't work for too long and it causes problems for them later. Mercy and Sebastien's story gets 4.5 stars from me. It is a good addition to this series and I look forward to reading more from this author.

Amazon
Goodreads

Once upon a time, Mercedes ‘Mercy’ Hernandez had the most enormous crush on her best friend’s older brother, Seb Madison. Now, though, she can’t stand the beast. Forget that he’s as spine-tinglingly gorgeous as ever. He’s a lousy brother and a manipulative bastard, not that she ever thinks about that disastrous one night stand they once had…

Still riddled with guilt over the death of his parents, billionaire loner Seb Madison has spent so long emotionally shut off that when beautiful, fiery Mercy bursts into his life again, he doesn’t know what’s hit him. All he knows is that she confuses him and he doesn’t like it.

Yet their chemistry hasn’t faded and, when hostility turns to attraction, a no-strings affair seems the logical solution. Mercy’s taking a much needed break from her family’s Argentinian vineyard to study for an MBA and Seb doesn’t do relationships. Neither have either the time or inclination for anything other than weekends-only red-hot sex. Or do they…?

Searching for Always

Searching for Always by Jennifer Probst is a sweet story, but not my favorite of hers. I found Arilyn difficult to like at times because she seemed a little over the top and judgmental, but at the same time she was real because of that. Stone had vices and getting on Arilyn's nerves was one of them. I felt their chemistry through out the book and I thing Jennifer Probst did a good job creating sexual chemistry and tension between the two. While this wasn't as gripping as some of previous books I've read by this author, I do still think it is a good book. If I get a chance I'll go back and read the rest in the series. All of that being said, I'm giving this book 3.75 stars. I can't quite do 4 stars, but there's no way it only gets 3.

Amazon
Goodreads

She’s an expert in helping others de-stress, but Arilyn Meadows is running on fumes. Along with her job counseling singles seeking soul mates at the Kinnections agency in Verily, New York, she’s a yoga teacher, animal shelter volunteer, anger management therapist, and helping hand to her beloved grandfather. No time to find Mr. Right—but after discovering her yogi boyfriend in a compromising asana, Arilyn would rather dog-sit for her honeymooning friend Kate than risk her heart on another downward dog. And when police officer Stone Petty—radiating masculinity and bad-boy attitude—is sent to her for mandatory lessons in cooling off when the job gets too hot, Arilyn vows to ignore his seductive glances and sexy grin. But there’s no halting their sizzling flirtation—a red-hot, high-speed chase that’s breaking all the limits.
