HIDING WITH THE HEARTBREAKER by USA Today bestseller Virginia Nelson

Rule: Protect the innocent.

Making people laugh for a living is easy, but when a beautiful stranger needs Aloysius Sutton’s help, he has to find a way to become Jude’s hero.

“When they found you and Mr. Braunberger, you were with the victim,” said the female officer.

“Yes, I ran to his side when I thought he might have been hurt.”

The woman nodded. “I see. Yet you didn’t make a sound or call the police or 911 at that point?”

Shaking her head, Jude twirled her ring. “No, because I wasn’t sure what I saw.”

“I see,” said the woman, jotting something down. Another officer entered the room and whispered something to the male officer.

“Miss Cramer, is it true that you exchanged heated words with Mr. Braunberger earlier today?” he asked.

Spinning the laptop to face her, he played back the security footage of her and Braunberger talking earlier that day. It looked incriminating. But she hadn’t done anything. Surely…

“I’d like to speak to an attorney, please,” she said.

Solitary cowboy, Trip Turner finally has a chance to correct the mistakes he made when he let the woman he loved walk out of his life twelve years ago. But now that Bre Wilson is back, will he be able to unbreak her heart?

He tried to keep the images of Bre Wilson from flooding his mind, but they were there—hell, they were always there—under the surface, like the ache in a sore tooth. A reminder of the woman he’d never been able to forget.

HERO IN DISGUISE by Sharla Lovelace

Rule: A real man doesn’t buy respect, he earns it.

Billionaire playboy Jake Jericho thinks he has it all, until one phone call reminds him otherwise. Can one week in disguise reform this trust fund playboy, or will his deception destroy the only real love he’s ever known?

“Feel that?” He pressed her hand to his chest. She felt heat. She felt his heartbeat racing. She felt too much. “That’s me, Harper. That’s my heart going ninety miles an hour just because you’re standing in front of me. I’m still me, regardless of what my name is.”

HER HEARTBREAKER BOSS by Carmen Falcone

Rule: Never leave your woman unsatisfied.

Can Stefano and Roxie resist the heat flaring between them or will working together force them to face their rocky past and give them the happily ever after they deserve?

Stefano swallowed. Hard. His new employees talked to him, but it turned into background noise. Moisture evaporated from his throat, and even before his brain named her, his body responded. Roxie Sullivan. Those two words were the blood thrumming through his veins. They were the tight string stretching across his shoulder blades.

HOW TO BE A HEARTBREAKER by Codi Gary

Rule: A real man never kisses and tells.

When an A list actor returns to his hometown, old wounds and fresh gossip emerge… along with a second chance at love, if he’s brave enough to stick around.

“I thought you didn’t do it in cars anymore?” He dragged his teeth across her sensitive skin and she gasped, “I guess you’re the exception.”

REFORMING THE HEARTBREAKER by Christine Glover

Rule: A real man never breaks a woman’s heart.

Can Olympic mountain bike champion Ryder Bennett and his public relations rep Addison Carrington keep things professional between them this time around, or will they risk a sexy scandal for a chance at love?

He lowered his mouth to hers, intending to give her a simple brush across the lips. One that danced on the edge of friendship, and skimmed around the border of his desire and stopped short of leading to more than they could handle. But when they connected, she felt so right and sweet in his arms that all of his good intentions shot into the stratosphere and flew over the Montana mountain range.

HER UNWANTED HERO by Veronica Forand

Rule: A real man always helps someone in need… he may be the only one who does.

A disenchanted police officer must choose between keeping a woman’s affection or keeping her alive.

“If you need anything, holler.”

Holler? He needed to stop acting like she was a contagious disease and make a move.

“Hey,” she hollered.

That got his attention. “Are you okay?”

She smothered her laughter. “I need something.”

“Anything.” He looked like he meant it too. He’d probably run out for ice cream if she asked. Men could be so dense.

“Rocky Road ice cream.” His brows furrowed. Was he thinking of the logistics of buying dessert at one in the morning? Seriously? “Umm. Sure. I think I can go to the 7-11.”

“That would take too long. What about if I just take you instead?”

A flash of hesitation crossed his expression and then he stood. “Me?”

“Yeah. Ice cream would be a bit more satisfying, but I figure you’d do.”

He remained welded to the floor in front of the couch.

Self-doubt crawled back into her conscience. She’d taken a chance and lost. No harm, no foul. “Never mind.”

She retreated toward her bedroom. By the third stair, his hand rested on her hip, causing her to stop and turn.

ONCE A HEARTBREAKER by T.J. Kline

Rule: A real man never lies, especially to a woman.

Ty Preston ran out on the woman he loved twelve years ago, but now he’s back to prove he’s a changed man. However, Rayne can’t risk getting her heart broken by the cowboy again.

He was so close she could feel his warm breath against her ear and, in spite of how much she wanted to hate him, she leaned back against into him, letting his strength support her, like she always had. Ty had been her rock from the day they’d met. It was instinct for her body to crave his touch, but she knew she had to fight it. His lips brushed the shell of her ear, and a shiver of longing raced down her spine. “I left Saddle Creek for you, Rayne, but I’ve come back for the same reason. I lied when I left. I loved you then, Rayne.” His voice was husky with emotion, making her entire body quiver from the inside. “I’ve never stopped loving you.”

MAKE MINE A HEARTBREAKER by Jodi Linton

Rule: Love should always be fun.

She’s about to change this playboy’s rule book.

“You wouldn’t happen to have a geeky blow-up doll of a guy who looks like a cross between Chris Hemsworth and PeeWee Herman. With glasses?”

HOMETOWN HEARTBREAKER by Heather Long

Rule: A real man always puts his best foot forward…

Zeke always planned to steal her heart, but she left him on base. It’s the bottom of the ninth, and Charity is up to bat. Can she tell her two-all stars the truth or will a foul end her best chance?

Surprise flickered in his blue eyes, and she dropped her gaze to study his very kissable mouth. On that thought, she pushed out of the chair and he let his hand fall away. For a moment, hurt turned down the corners of his mouth and fresh regret stung her. She hadn’t meant to react so badly.

Catching his hand before he could walk away, she searched for the buoyant mood she’d had earlier. “I’m sorry. Maybe I am tired. I didn’t mean to snap. The coffee smells good…care to have a cup and watch me eat one of the cupcakes I made?” They’d been a final surprise of the day, Andie had adored hers but, based on his earlier comment regarding his diet, it hadn’t surprised Charity when he’d declined one of his own.

His tongue swiped over his lower lip. “Watch you eat a cupcake?”

TUTORING THE HEARTBREAKER TO LOVE by Hayson Manning

Rule: A real man never touches the hired help.

Can Savannah teach serial heartbreaker Walker to be domesticated in ten days and convince him that maybe they can have a shot at a ‘them’ or can Walker convince Savannah there can be a ‘them’ on his terms only?

“Savannah, I know you’re checking me out.”

“You’ll need a couple of Sherpas to climb your Mount Everest ego because I was not checking you out.”

He turned and grinned. “I don’t have an issue with you checking me out. I just wondered if you liked the view?”

Well, only a blind nun wouldn’t mind taking in that view.

Mr. Tucker by Justine Elvira Review

29437052

3.5 Smooches

a4 a4-5 a4-4 a5

Synpopsis

Warning: Mr. Tucker is hot and sexy smut at its finest. Mr. Tucker is recommended for mature readers 18+ due to subject matter and sexual content.

A senior bet.

Almost every school has one–a tradition that’s passed down from year to year. My small school in Tennessee is no different. While some seniors at schools all across the country have senior pranks or senior ditch days, our school has the senior bet.

Lose your virginity by spring break–have proof–and you’re in the running for prom queen.

Does it sound ridiculous?

It absolutely is, but ridiculousness won’t stop me from getting my prom queen nomination. I’ve had plenty of opportunities to lose my V-card to one of the boys at my school, but I don’t want to sleep with a high school boy. I want a man with experience. I want the man that’s been starring in my wet dreams at night. I want my history teacher. I want Mr. Tucker.

Review

So I struggled with rating this book. Parts of it had me intrigued and parts had me sighing. It mostly breaks down to the first half of the story was just too over the top for me personally. I knew going it that it was going to have a good amount of high school hijinks and chees. Anyone who has read the blurb should already understand that. But for me Savannah’s relentless pursuit of Mr. Tucker was cringe worthy at times. She was relentless in getting what she wants as high school girls are. The main issue was that in that I could not connect or relate to her.

Now, the second half of the book help a lot of promise and the cringe worthy moments died down and the forbidden love story shinned through. I will say that this was WAY sexy for a high school student teacher and I feel you should know that going in, not that I am complaining but different readers expect different things from a book that takes place in high school.

I love me a student teacher romance and have read quite a few of them. Overall, this one was light and fun without too much angst. Extremely sexy with a hero that can go from sexy nerdy teacher to the man in charge in just a moment. If you are into forbidden love and stories verging on the erotic side than this is one you should try!

[as·sump·tion:]

a thing that is accepted as true or as certain to happen, without proof

They say when you assume that you make an ass out of you and me.

Kenton Mayson learned this lesson firsthand when he made assumptions about Autumn Freeman and the kind of woman she is based on what little information he had. What he finds out is she’s not only beautiful, but also smart, funny, a fighter, and exactly the kind of woman he wants to share his life with.

Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.

OBLIGATION

[ob-li-gey-shuh n]

An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral.

At six years old, Myla was sent to a family her father and mother had chosen for her when they knew their time on earth was almost up. What they were unaware of was what they thought would be her safe haven would become her living hell.

Kai has been watching Myla from afar since he took over the family business from his father and inherited the responsibility of keeping her safe. When word gets back to Kai that Myla is not only in danger, but that his assets are being compromised, he immediately jumps into action and does the only thing that can be done at the time by marrying her.

Neither Myla nor Kai would have thought that something that started off as a farce would become the most important thing either of them could’ve ever done.

00001

DISTRACTION

Distraction: The great intensity, novelty, or attractiveness of something other than the object of attention.

Sven is a man who takes pride in his ability to separate himself from his emotions. He’s a man who knows who he is and where he’s going in life, a man who needs no one, because needing someone, anyone, is a weakness.

His past taught him love isn’t enough.

Maggie wants the happily ever after, but has never picked the right men, or stuck around long enough, to build a forever. It’s always been easier to get out early, before emotions make things messy.

When Maggie wakes up naked in Sven’s bed, with no memory of the night before, these two must be honest about their feelings and face their fears, so they can build a future together.

Will love be enough for them to get their happy ending together, or will a threat from outside strike them down before they ever have a chance?

BLURB:

Anna Martin was looking for a nanny position,

but she found more than she bargained for when she fell for single dad Nic

DeLuca. When she finds out he’s a mafia boss, her head tells her to run but her

heart tells her to stay. With his baby girl in the hospital, Anna stands by her

man in his time of need. But when danger swirls around them, will they

manage to find happiness together?

Please

relationship cliffhangers.

  


 

 

EXCERPT

Damn,

the girl was fast. But Nic was just as quick, because I found myself lifted off

my feet, carried into the house, and placed onto the couch in the living room,

in what felt like the blink of an eye.

He

sat down next to me, leaning over, his face close to mine. “We need to

talk.” I pushed against his chest, trying to get out from under him, my

mind a jumbled mess after everything I’d just heard. What I’d just learned

about him. My Nic was a mobster. It was almost impossible to believe. He was

into bad stuff, illegal stuff. Things about which I had zero clue because he’d

kept me in the dark.

“We’ll

talk,” he promised, his hand sliding under my robe and up my inner thigh.

“After.”

“After?”

I stuttered, my breath hitching when he sank two fingers inside me.

“After

you come on my hand, in my mouth, and on my cock.”

I

pushed against his chest again, even as my legs widened slightly, giving him

better access to my body. “I’m angry with you, Nic. And hurt. And a little

scared.”

He

stilled over me, staring down at me with pain filled eyes. “I will never

hurt you, mia dolce. Never.”

It

was a heartfelt vow, and I believed him. It might make me the most naïve person

on the planet, but I knew deep in my bones that Nic didn’t mean me any harm.

“I

know,” I whispered softly, one hand sliding up his chest to cup his cheek.

“But I’m still unbelievably angry with you.”

“Then

take your anger out on my body, Gianna, and let me show you exactly how sorry I

am.”

“But-“

I tried to protest. Despite everything, my body responded to his dark tone. A

quick twist of his wrist had his fingers rubbing against my G-spot and any

coherent thought fled my brain.

With

expert strokes, he drove me higher and higher until I was fulfilling the first

part of his promise, coming on his hand. Then he dropped to his knees, lifting

my legs over his shoulders, and his mouth latched on to me. He ate at me like

he was starving—licking and sucking while he held my hips down so I couldn’t

move. It wasn’t until I’d come twice more that he lifted his head. I saw my

wetness glistening on his beard before he wiped it against my belly, bared as

the robe had parted wide down the middle. Then he unbuckled his belt, unzipped

his pants, and pulled his cock out. It was hard and bobbed thickly against his

stomach.

Without

any preamble, he lifted my hips into the air, lining us up and driving inside

of me. Sensitive from my orgasms, I felt every inch of him as he slid against

my drenched heat. He was so big, my body had to stretch to take him all.

Somehow, I was both uncomfortable and excited at the same time. Then he pulled

out, only to thrust back in and my mind blanked as he pounded into me. Deep and

hard. I’d thought he’d been rough with me the night before, but it was nothing

compared to the way he was taking me now. Like he owned me, and my body loved

it. I was caged between his muscular body and the couch, writhing in ecstasy,

and even with what I knew about him, it felt like exactly where I belonged.

When his mouth dropped down to mine, claiming it in a searing kiss, I was

thrown over the edge once again, taking him with me.

Chest

heaving, on a panting breath, Nic growled, “Now we can talk. And you’ll

listen to me, with my come filling your pussy.”

About CHARGED:

From the New York Times bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes the second installment in the Saints of Denver series featuring a bad girl and a by the book attorney who could be her salvation…or her ruin.

Avett Walker and Quaid Jackson’s worlds have no reason to collide. Ever. Quaid is a high powered criminal attorney as slick as he is handsome. Avett is a pink-haired troublemaker with a bad attitude and a history of picking the wrong men.

When Avett lands in a sea of hot water because of one terrible mistake, the only person who can get her out of it is the insanely sexy lawyer. The last thing on earth she wants to do is rely on the no-nonsense attorney who thinks of her as nothing more than a nuisance. He literally has her fate in his hands. Yet there is something about him that makes her want to convince him to loosen his tie and have a little fun…with her.

Quaid never takes on clients like the impulsive young woman with a Technicolor dye job. She could stand to learn a hard lesson or two, but something about her guileless hazel eyes intrigues him. Still, he’s determined to keep their relationship strictly business. But doing so is becoming more impossible with each day he spends with her.

As they work side-by-side, they’ll have to figure out a way to get along and keep their hands off each other—because the chemistry between them is beyond charged.

 Check out our 4.5 smooches review HERE.

 

CHARGED - Tour Teaser 1

 

Excerpt

Quaid

    I tapped the edge of my thumb on the black-and-white mug shot photo and couldn’t stop the grin from tugging at my mouth.

    She tried to fire me.

    She was five-foot-nothing, a lifetime younger than me, had multicolored hair that had seen better days, wild eyes that couldn’t decide if they wanted to be green, gold, or brown, while dressed in convict orange and obviously scared out of her ever loving mind, yet she still tried to fire me. If it had been any of my other clients—the cop accused of sexual battery, the frat boy accused of manslaughter over a bet on a football game gone wrong, the middle school teacher accused of pedophilia and having an inappropriate relationship with several of her students, or the pro football player accused of domestic abuse—I would have tipped my proverbial hat, wished them luck while I cut my losses, and walked away without a backward glance. People always committed crimes. People always needed a good defense, so it wasn’t like I was hurting for clients, but there was something about the girl. Something about the defiant tilt of her chin and the raw desperation in her tone when she begged me not to call her father.

    “I don’t want your help. I don’t want anything from you.” She sounded like she meant it when she said it, but I figured she was too young and too scared to know exactly what she wanted or needed. Regardless, it was still refreshing to hear.

    Everyone always wanted something from me and my help was usually the least of it.

    I tapped the picture again, wondering why I found it so easy to believe that she really hadn’t been a part of the boyfriend’s plan to rob the bar. She wasn’t anyone’s idea of a model citizen and she had the shady track record to prove it. She was too young, and frankly too adorable, to have a file this thick. From what I could see, she had a set of parents always willing to ride to the rescue when she got herself into trouble. She looked like some kind of colorful woodland fairy from a Disney movie with her odd hair and delicate features. None of it added up, but the sincerity in her tone when she said she would never have gone with the boyfriend if she knew his intent and the fear in her eyes when I mentioned her father seemed genuine.

    I learned long ago to treat everyone like they were guilty of whatever it was I was paid to defend them against. I didn’t want to know the truth. I didn’t want to know the circumstances. I wanted my clients to listen to me and let me do my job as I tried to convince the rest of the world they were innocent, regardless if they were or not. But this girl with her faded, rose colored hair and turbulent eyes oozed innocence through the cracks of a very guilty façade.

    Because I was intrigued and actually believed the girl might be innocent, I wasn’t going to let her fire me. I was going to call her father and hope that he would help me keep her out of the slammer while I figured out how to plea bargain her charges down or get them dismissed altogether. Again, because a cop was involved in the robbery and because the boyfriend, junkie or not, was offering up a pretty plausible explanation for Avett’s involvement in the crime, nothing was a slam dunk, yet. I was going to help her whether she wanted me to or not.

Charged by Jay Crownover Review

4.5 Smooches

a4 a4-5 a4-4 a4-3a5

Synopsis

Avett Walker and Quaid Jackson’s worlds have no reason to collide. Ever. Quaid is a high powered criminal attorney as slick as he is handsome. Avett is a pink-haired troublemaker with a bad attitude and a history of picking the wrong men.

When Avett lands in a sea of hot water because of one terrible mistake, the only person who can get her out of it is the insanely sexy lawyer. The last thing on earth she wants to do is rely on the no-nonsense attorney who thinks of her as nothing more than a nuisance. He literally has her fate in his hands. Yet there is something about him that makes her want to convince him to loosen his tie and have a little fun…with her.

Quaid never takes on clients like the impulsive young woman with a Technicolor dye job. She could stand to learn a hard lesson or two, but something about her guileless hazel eyes intrigues him. Still, he’s determined to keep their relationship strictly business. But doing so is becoming more impossible with each day he spends with her.

As they work side-by-side, they’ll have to figure out a way to get along and keep their hands off each other—because the chemistry between them is beyond charged.

Review

“Bad decisions lead to great stories.”

I am a longtime fan of Jay Crownover and this new series, Saints Of Denver, has a wonderfully fresh feel for her while still visiting with characters we know and love. I will be honest and say that going into this book I was skeptical about her ability to make me feel for Avett and Quaid. But damn did I not just feel for them I fell for them too.

“I don’t know  what you thought was happening here, but it was just a job. You are a client, like any other client I represent, Avett. Nothing more, nothing less.”

We will start with Avett because while I really liked her Quaid is the true star of this story. Going in from other books we knew that Avett has a penchant for trouble and a lack of caring how that affects others. But this time her bad decisions have landed her in jail and Asa has sent hot shot lawyer Quaid to get her out, for a fee of course. Avett is a character who truly shows growth and depth. And while I thoroughly enjoyed watching her learn and grow she was outshined a bit by her dad, Brite. Brite is the dad we all want and the man we want all men to strive to be. His story of love loss and second chances was one of the best things in the book for me.

‘What was one more impending disaster, when it was attached to rough hands that brushed along my exposed rib cage and paused under the achy swell of my breast? What was one more bad decision on top of all the other ones that had led this particular mammoth-sized bad decision to my door?’

Now Quaid, I thought Quaid was an arrogant jack a** who only cared about money and for the beginning of the story he proved this to be true. But the more and more the story unfolded the more complex he became with underlining issues and insecurities. But the hardness to which he fell for Avett and the lengths he would go to help and protect her made me love him too. He is a clean cut, prim and proper lawyer but he accepts her and her pink hair for the craziness she is. I adored him. He loves with his whole heart and for this I love him with my whole heart as well.

“Some of us are born into the storm and some of us are born to chase after it,”

Once again Jay has penned a story I couldn’t put down and while I loved everything about Avett and Quid I will say that for me personally there was almost too much sex but I know this is not an issue for everyone. Still once again I have fallen for Jay’s men (and women) and am completely entranced with her side characters and cannot wait for more.

Lost by Carrie Aarons Review

jk

4.5 Smooches

a4 a4-5 a4-4 a4-3a5

Synopsis

We knew each other a lifetime ago. And then…

We lost childhoods. We lost opportunities. We lost love.

Fate is giving us another chance. But a chance at what?

Because even though we’ve been brought back to each other under the worst of circumstances…

We are still. So. Damn. Lost.

Review

Lost is completely different and wonderfully unique. When we meet the hero, Tucker, he isn’t the beautiful poster boy he once was. Instead he is an unwashed, homeless addict with sores on his mouth. And he has hit the lowest of lows which leaves him on the lamb with Charlotte a girl from his past who is now his hostage. I mean if that doesn’t scream READ ME I don’t know what does.

‘I’m an addict. I have an addictive personality. And instead of drugs and alcohol. I’ve replaces those toxic substances with the noises that Char makes when I drive into her.’

There are several things I think that Carrie Aaron did exceptionally well. First off is the backstory felt completely believable. It was a case of teenage infatuation and Tucker acted like a typical teenage boy in lust. I know some might not like how he treated the Charlotte, the beautiful but nerdy girl. But for me with him being a popular jock it made sense, I didn’t like it but it made sense. Second, I loved how Charlotte has matured and aged. She doesn’t just roll over and yet she also cannot deny the pull Tucker has had over her since they were children. Lastly, she made sure not everything came to them easily. I feel like they worked to get where they are and in that process they reconnected and slowly developed feelings. It wasn’t a case of being trapped together for two days then they are going at it. The build up was fantastic and had me on edge constantly. I was sucked in from the first page and unable to stop till the last.

‘This is what love it. It’s hard, insane, dirty and completely frustrating. But it’s also  incredible, wonderful, awe-inducing and completely freeing.’

Now this is a duet so of course you know that mean CLIFFY, but it’s one you see coming so it’s not totally shocking. Still I am more than a little curious how the author plans on getting these two out of this mess and am completely eager to get my hands on Found and some answers.

Bedmates by Nichole Chase Cover Reveal

About BEDMATES

Everyone makes mistakes, especially in college. But when you’re the daughter of the President of the United States, any little slip up is a huge embarrassment. Maddie McGuire’s latest error in judgment lands her in police custody, giving the press a field day. Agreeing to do community service as penance and to restore her tattered reputation, Maddie never dreams incredibly good looking but extremely annoying vice president’s son, Jake Simmon, will be along for the ride.

Recently returning from Afghanistan with a life-altering injury, Jake is wrestling with his own demons. He doesn’t have the time or patience to deal with the likes of Maddie. They’re like oil and water and every time they’re together, it’s combustible. But there’s a thin line between love and hate, and it’s not long before their fiery arguments give way to infinitely sexier encounters.

When Jake receives devastating news about the last remaining member of his unit, the darkness he’s resisted for so long begins to overwhelm him. Scared to let anyone close, he pushes Maddie away. But she isn’t about to give up on Jake that easily. Maddie’s fallen for him, and she’ll do anything to keep him from the edge as they both discover that love is a battlefield and there are some fights you just can’t lose.
