Lucky Penny by L.A. Cotton Review

By Amie Knight in 4 Smooches, Reviews

4 Smooches!

Synopsis

I was his lucky Penny. He was my light in the dark, hope in despair. Our bond was one of survival, friendship… first love.

But then we were ripped apart and Blake Weston became the memory I turned to when everything else in my life fell apart.

Seven years later, a summer working at Camp Chance is supposed to be my fresh start. Beautiful scenery and the chance to better the lives of foster children – kids like me. But when my eyes land on him across the fire, time stands still and feelings come rushing back to the surface. I thought I’d moved on, tucked him away in my heart. One look into his soulful blue eyes and I know I’m wrong. Blake Weston can heal the broken parts of me. Restore my hope. Love me.

It’s our second chance. A sign we are supposed to be together.

Isn’t it?

I was twelve when I survived the accident that killed my parents. Fourteen when I survived the devil. And sixteen, when I survived a heartbreak of the worst kind.

But in my twenty-three years, Blake Weston might just be the first thing I won’t survive.

Review

“We had dreams and hopes for the future, just like any other sixteen-year-old kid. Except we weren’t like most other kids.”

Penny Wilson arrived at Freeman house a scared and devastated twelve-year-old girl. Her world had just imploded around her with the tragic death of her parents in a car accident. She may have walked away from the accident without any visible injuries, but she definitely had emotional wounds. With no family or friends to take her in, alone and afraid, she was thrust into the foster care system and sent to the group home run by the evil Derrick and Marie Freeman.

“Penny was the only good thing in my life. She was all that I needed. My lucky Penny.”

Blake Weston was twelve years old when Penny walked into his otherwise dark and dreary existence. A resident at Freeman house for a few years now, Blake had arrived at Freeman house following the death of his mother and the imprisonment of his drug-dealing father.

“Sometime in the last two years, my best friend had become my reason for breathing. My everything.”

Blake was immediately draw to Penny and was the first one to reach out to her there on her first day at Freeman house. Over the next four years, their friendship grew and flourished. They were able to withstand the awful treatment they endured at the hands of the Freemans, their foster parents, with each other to lean on. Inevitably, their friendship grew and eventually blossomed into young love. Under the stars during late night sneak outs, Blake and Penny bared their young souls, shared their hopes and dreams and planned for the time when they’d be free. Until the day it all changed and Blake left Freeman House behind without a single word to Penny. That’s when her real nightmare began.

“It was time to move forward and to let myself heal.”

Seven years later, three failed relationship attempts, no friends and a minimum wage job that barely supports her, Penny is still working through her issues with the help of a therapist. She’s leaving for the summer to work at Camp Chance, a summer camp for kids in the foster care system. This will be her fresh start; this is her chance to heal. What she wasn’t expecting – at all – was to see Blake there as another counselor. They spend the summer slowly – awkwardly – getting reacquainted and inevitably reconnecting. Until, on what was the last night of camp, Blake suddenly leaves. Again.

“And here I was again. Alone.”

With the summer over, Penny returns back to her life. With a new, better-paying job, a cleaned up apartment, she is determined to continue taking baby steps forward in her healing process. She worked hard on herself this summer, and she would not let Blake’s leaving her behind again to set her back. That was until, while working one night, one of those baby steps lands her right in the path of Blake and his new world.

“I should have listened to the little voice in my head. It was always right. If things seemed to good to be true…they usually were.”

Unable to keep away, Blake tracks Penny down. They start to have the conversations that they should have had over the summer. When the truth of what really happened comes out, will Blake choose Penny, or has his life become too complicated? Will their love for each other be strong enough to weather their differences? Will Penny be able to overcome her fears and let go of the past to take another chance with Blake?

“Blake already owned my heart. He always had. But could I give him my damaged soul?”

L.A. Cotton has written a very poignant, coming of age story in Lucky Penny. These two recognized the other halves of their souls in each other at a very young age. Circumstances, outside forces and time all collided to tear them apart, but the real story was in their coming back together. Ms. Cotton did a great job of taking the reader along for the ride as Blake and Penny dealt with all that happened between them and to them. Heartbreaking and heart healing combine four heart-warming smooches from me!

Chasing Spring by R.S. Grey Cover Reveal

Title: Chasing Spring

Author: R.S. Grey

Find on Goodreads

I thought I’d left Blackwater, Texas behind for good. I didn’t belong in the small town, but my dad wouldn’t listen. He dragged me back home in his beat-up truck and dropped a bomb along the way: Chase Matthews was moving in with us. He was the golden boy of my high school, my former best friend, and the last person I wanted sleeping across the hall. His presence was too great a reminder of the ghosts I was trying to forget.

I didn’t ask for a hero. I don’t want to be saved.

To me, Lilah Calloway meant late nights sneakin’ out, moonlit hair, and sparklers in July. She was my best friend until the day she left and I’d assumed Blackwater had seen the last of her. Then, like a tempest, she rolled back into town for the final half of senior year. The chopped hair and dark devil-may-care attitude warned most people away, but I knew if I fought hard enough, I could find the lost girl.

I didn’t want to be her hero. Some girls don’t need to be saved.

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way, I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things… everyday.

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors include Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I’m a comedy geek and love all things “funny”. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

The Homespun Holiday by Sarah O’Rourke Release Blitz

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Dr. Mackenzie Daniels was a loner. He had the divorce, a
far-away family, and well-known cranky persona to prove it. And if he had his
way, he would continue on his loner way, in spite of the attempts of the townspeople
to infiltrate his life with their irritating, so-called charming ways. That
was…until he met the beautiful Nurse Millicent Robbins.

Millie Robbins had done the love and marriage thing, and all she could say was
that she got a beautiful daughter out of the entire debacle. Love was not in
her long-term plans when she graduated from nursing school, thank you very
much….until she found herself falling head over heels for the grouchiest but
most gorgeous doctor she’d ever met.

Can Mack and Millie find their way to love in spite of their histories? Can
happiness actually exist for two star-crossed lovers?

Join the entire town of Paradise for a Christmas celebration of lasting love!

HH Teaser It Must Have Been the Mistletoe

HH Teaser Rockin Around the Christmas Tree

“Fine. What about a favor, huh? Friends do favors for each other all the
time, don’t they?” Mack volleyed smoothly, studying her. “How about you do me this favor, Millicent? You won’t
deny me that, will you? Especially since
you’re the one that got me into this predicament.”

“No,
I suppose not. I’d be happy to spend the
holidays with you and your family.”

“Same
here,” he admitted softly. “Now, how do
you feel about you and Paisley helping me decorate my place tomorrow? It’s Saturday. We both have the day off unless one of my
patients decides to go into labor, and since nobody is that close to delivery
yet, I think we’re pretty clear there.
My family expects to fly into Paradise and find my home a completely
undecorated mess. I’d love to knock my
sister down a peg or two and surprise her with a perfectly designed Winter
Wonderland. Really, this is the least
you could do,” he grumbled when Millie didn’t make a peep. “Let me remind you once more that this shit
is all your fault.”

“Such
a sweet talker.” Millie sighed
dramatically and batted her eyelashes demurely.
“You sure know how to charm a girl.”

“My
ex-wife used to say the same thing,” he reminisced.

“You were married? For real? To a woman?”
Millie gaped in stunned disbelief, unable to imagine this male as a part
of a couple. Sure, she’d had her
fantasies about her sexy boss. Of course
she had! He was hot. Lean and muscular in all the right places. And
she’d bet her right pinky toe that he was hung like a horse. But that’s where the fantasy ended. Because in addition to all she fantasized
about, Mackenzie Daniels was also surly, stubborn and an all-around Gloomy Gus
on most all the days that ended in Y.

“For
your sake, lady, I’m going to choose not to be offended here,” Mack returned
mockingly as he fought a grin. “You
don’t need to look quite so astonished; I’m not exactly an ogre, Mills.”

Staring
up at him, Millie took stock of the Doc’s high, chiseled cheekbones, his
dimpled chin, his square jaw and his perfectly sculpted, extremely kissable
lips and she had to agree. “No,
definitely not an ogre,” she whispered, as her tongue darted out to lick her
suddenly dry lips. “What I meant to say
is that I just never imagined anyone that valued his solitude and privacy as
much as you do married to anyone.”

“I
do enjoy my solitude and privacy, but I’m also a guy, Millie. I do
like to fuck.”

Millie
nearly choked on her tongue. “Women,
right?”

“Yes,
women! Did you assume I was
asexual? Or did you think I was
gay? Do I strike you as a latent
homosexual, Millie?” he asked as his steady gaze connected with her nervous
one.

“N-no,
but if you did swing that way, you should know that Paradise has this lovely
florist that’s been looking for love in all the wrong places,” she managed to
impart through her mostly frozen lips.

“He’ll
have to keep lookin’ then because I’m straight as an arrow, woman,” Mack
growled, his eyes skating hungrily over her pretty face.

“Doc,
why are you tellin’ me this stuff?” Millie asked, trying desperately to
understand where and when this new and open Mackenzie had emerged. Would she find the ‘Old Mackenzie’ collapsed
at his desk in the office? Was she
hallucinating? What exactly had been in
her sandwich from the diner?

“That’s
what friends do, right? Share and shit
like that?” he asked with a careless shrug.

“I
reckon,” Millie mumbled. “But maybe we
should think about getting back to the office.
It’s almost two and you’ve got a 2:30 with Sandy Bingham.” Honestly, she was more than a little nervous
standing here with him because suddenly Mack was eyeing her like she was a
steak and he was a very hungry animal.
And crazily enough, she found herself not minding in the least the idea
of being his meal.

Ignoring
her reminder of his afternoon appointment, he kept staring at her. “So, is that a yes to spending tomorrow with
me?”

“I…
uh…. I guess, if that’s really what you want,” she agreed, her cheeks blushing
as she tried to make herself stop fidgeting like a teenage girl being asked on
her first date.

“What
about tonight? Are you busy tonight?” he
asked.

“I
don’t think so. Why?”

“Because,
you haven’t seen my place. I want to
show it to you so that you can get an idea of what we’ll need. I’ll even feed you if you’ll agree to help me
out,” he offered calmly.

“I…you’re
sure about this?” she asked, not quite able to believe that this man was
volunteering to spend time with her. Or
hell, with anybody really. Mack was a
loner. Everyone, including her, knew
it. He’d already knocked her off her
axis with the news that he’d once had a wife.
Now, he was acting like — dare she even imagine it – like he was
actually interested in her?

“I’m
positive. And maybe tonight could be an
adults-only evening since tomorrow will be kid-friendly,” he suggested
smoothly.

“Uhmmm
– okay,” she agreed slowly, nodding.
“I’m sure my mom and dad won’t mind watching Paisley for a few hours.”

“Good,”
Mack declared with a satisfied nod as he reached around Millie to open the
vehicle’s door for her. “Then I’ll pick
you up at your place around six. Is that
enough time to get off work and get Paisley to your parents’ house?”

Millie
nodded as she began to climb into the cab of the truck, her mind reeling as she
tried to keep up with their conversation.
Things were happening so quickly that she felt like she’d somehow fallen
into an alternate universe – one where sexy-as-sin doctors wanted to spend time
with her outside of work. “Yeah, that’ll
be…great,” she acknowledged, her voice a little shaky. Offering him a dazed look, she shook her
head.

“What?”
he growled in that surly voice she knew so well.

“I
don’t understand what’s happening here, Doc,” she said truthfully. “Have you just asked me out on a date?” she asked, her eyes twinkling
with enthusiasm as her heart pounded in her chest.

Mack’s
face flushed and he shrugged. “Why is it
so important to women to label everything?
We’re gonna share a meal tonight.
If you wanna call it a date, I can’t stop you,” he declared before
slamming the door on her reply.

“I’ll
be damned,” Millie muttered to herself as she watched him slowly circle the SUV
to reach the driver’s side. “It’s an
honest-to-God Christmas miracle.”

The Truth About Him by M. O’Keefe Review

By Amie Knight in 5 Smooches, Reviews

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

For fans of Christina Lauren and Jodi Ellen Malpas comes the next novel in M. O’Keefe’s breathtakingly sexy series about a woman called into a journey of the heart, body, and soul.

We played our roles, told each other lies.

But now Dylan is no longer just a mysterious deep voice on the other end of the line. We’re face-to-face and our relationship is very, very real.

We still have secrets—but so much is crystal clear:

The thrilling danger.

The raw, naked desire.

The need to keep feeling the way he makes me feel. Forever.

Dylan is putting up walls, trying to keep me safe, but he can’t shut me out. He has seen my darkness and rescued me. Now it’s my turn, if only he will let me.

Review

I want to start by saying how absolutely stunning these covers are for both book and book two in this series. They are seriously beautiful and sexy and I adore them. Now that I have gotten that out of that way let’s talk about the amazing job that M. O’Keefe did on this second book. I wasn’t sure if I was going to love it as much as the first and that is simply because I loved the mystery of the first one. I loved all of the not knowing of things. Like how Dylan had Annie spy on Ben and you didn’t know why or who Ben was to him. I especially loved the sexy sexy phone calls and text between these virtual strangers. But now I knew that Dylan and Annie knew each other. I knew who Ben was to Dylan and why he was spying. So I wasn’t sure going into this book if I was going to enjoy it as much. But God, I really did and man that beginning. This book started off right where the last left off with that huge cliffy. So, basically The Truth About Him started off with a huge bang. Literally.

‘I was careful. I was so careful.’

So the story picks up right away with a ton of action and my heart was literally pounding right out of my chest the first couple of chapters and I knew right away that I was going to love this book. I could not put it down. So much happens in this second book and I found myself really falling in love with Dylan this time around. I connected to him so incredibly well and I think it was because it thoughts were so intimate and loving. God, what a sweet broken man.

‘Because I don’t have any skin, I wanted to shout. I can feel everything. I feel too fucking much.’

And Annie really makes some changes this book. Her character, I mean. She isn’t the same running broken woman from the first book and I loved seeing her character grow. Don’t get me wrong now, this book was chalk full of emotion but there was still tons and tons of sensual moments. Man, definitely sexy.

“Look at you,”

“So bad. Is that what you want? You want to be bad, little girl?”

But what I really loved in this book were all the side stories going on while Dylan and Annie’s romance was still brewing. You have Dylan’s scary as heck brother. Is he good? Is he bad? And I think he might be possibly hooking up with another character from this book. Then you have Blake, Dylan’s partner and a little surprise there. Goodness, I hope we get some more books. I am dying to know what happens with all these crazy stories and amazing characters. This one was great!

“BEDROCK. You and Me. Bedrock.”

One Insatiable by Tia Louise Review

By Miranda Arnold in 4 Smooches, Reviews

4.5 Smooches

Synopsis

One wounded panther, one restless lynx, one insatiable hunger.

Mercy Quinlan is a whip-smart lynx and the youngest in her shifter clan. She’s tough and independent and dreams of escaping her alpha sister’s control and living life on her own terms.

When a lone black panther shows up in her hometown, Mercy is intrigued. He’s just passing through, which makes him perfect… Along with his broad shoulders, defined muscles, and sexy fighter moves.

Koa “Stitch” Raiden is picking up what’s left of his broken life. Exiled from his black panther clan, he’s running from Princeton to Seattle when he’s drawn to Woodland Creek.

He’s aware Mercy is watching him. What he doesn’t know is the sexy little vixen who sneaks through his window each night is both the trouble he doesn’t need and the hope he can’t live without.

A STANDALONE Alpha Shifter Romance with an HEA, loosely related to the One to Hold series. Contains alluring alpha heroes, scorching-hot shifters, and panty-melting sexy times. Keep the fans nearby… Readers 18 and older only, please.

Review

One Insatiable is the first paranormal book by Tia Louise I have read and I have to say I was grabbed from the beginning and thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. Told in dual POV and in first person the characters and story lines were easy and enjoyable to follow.

‘I’ve never been with a big cat. His power overwhelming, yet he’d been graceful and took his time with me . . . Except when he didn’t’

Mercy and Koa could not be more different and yet their chance meeting in the woods (followed some extremely HOT sex) but immediately both can tell that it means so much more than a regular hook up but neither is willing to put it into words. Mercy is from an elite family in Woodland Creek and Koa is a vagrant with a past passing through but something has him stopping in this special town and he can’t immediately force himself to leave.

Their story while not overly full of angst is riveting all the same with a strong pull towards each other and outside forces trying to pull them apart, One Insatiable is hard to put down. As always Tia is a clean and exciting writer who can write hot sex like no other.

“Mercy belongs to me. Our blood has bonded. She’s my mate.”

Tia Louise has written a tale that will take you away and have you dreaming of mythical creatures and the bonds they share. With her being fairly new to paranormal I believe she is doing a great job of establishing herself as a para writer and one I cannot wait to red more of.

Sacked by Tabatha Vargo Release Blitz

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Synopsis

When Sawyer Reed wants something, he gets it.

And I WANT her.
She doesn’t know it yet, but she’s already mine.

Her resistance is futile because once I start a play, I always follow through.

And I ALWAYS win.
Nothing, not even the deep-seated hate I have for my rival, Jacob Byrd, is going to keep me from my endgame.
And my endgame is Gretchen Cole.

But I have to keep my head in the game. Everyone knows what happens to a quarterback when he loses focus. He gets SACKED.

Check out our 4.5 smooches review HERE.

Excerpt

Pulling away, he looked down at me, a sexy grin on his face. “You’re so fucking sweet, baby,” he whispered. “I bet you taste sweet, too.”

I moaned loudly as he slipped his finger inside the lace covering me and swiped it softly across my throbbing center. Before I could really begin to enjoy it, he pulled his glistening finger out and sucked it between his lips. Seeing him taste my juices turned me on in a way I never imagined and the throbbing intensified.

“Mmmm. Honeysuckle.” He closed his eyes and sucked once more at his finger.

I moved to lean into him, but before I could, he dropped to his knees in front of me. His hands moved up my outer thighs, taking my dress with it, and then he was peeling my boy shorts off. Cold air rushed over my soaked folds as he shuffled them down my thighs to my knees and over my boots. And when I lifted my foot to help him take them off, he smiled to himself.

This was really happening, and I wasn’t sure I could stop it even if I wanted to. I was too far gone. I don’t know if it was the last few weeks of mental foreplay or the alcohol I’d consumed, but the second he slipped his hot tongue between my folds and sucked me, I didn’t care what happened. I only knew he was soothing the throbbing ache.

“Sawyer,” I whispered as my head fell back against the door with a thump. “Ah, God.”

I’d never let anyone in my personal space this way, but damn if I could stop him. The sensations that spread through me as he feasted on my sensitive flesh were beyond amazing. I found myself whining like a little bitch and begging with my moans for him to keep going.

My fingers moved into his hair, holding him to my body. Lifting my leg onto his shoulder, he opened me to him as he continuously licked and sucked, sending my body into a frenzied state.

“Yes. Oh my God, Sawyer, yes. What are you doing to me? I can’t …”

He didn’t answer.

Instead, he pushed a single finger into me and slowly began to work it in and out. My knees began to shake, the door the only thing holding me up, and I panted as the sensation of release slowly began to move over me.

Sliding a second finger into me, he worked back and forth and in and out. His tongue twirling my hardened nub before softly sucking, and I was done.

I exploded.

4 Smooches!

Synopsis

I was his lucky Penny. He was my light in the dark, hope in despair. Our bond was one of survival, friendship… first love.

But then we were ripped apart and Blake Weston became the memory I turned to when everything else in my life fell apart.

It’s our second chance. A sign we are supposed to be together.

Isn’t it?

I was twelve when I survived the accident that killed my parents. Fourteen when I survived the devil. And sixteen, when I survived a heartbreak of the worst kind.

But in my twenty-three years, Blake Weston might just be the first thing I won’t survive.

Review

“We had dreams and hopes for the future, just like any other sixteen-year-old kid. Except we weren’t like most other kids.”

“Penny was the only good thing in my life. She was all that I needed. My lucky Penny.”

Blake Weston was twelve years old when Penny walked into his otherwise dark and dreary existence. A resident at Freeman house for a few years now, Blake had arrived at Freeman house following the death of his mother and the imprisonment of his drug-dealing father.

“Sometime in the last two years, my best friend had become my reason for breathing. My everything.”

“It was time to move forward and to let myself heal.”

“And here I was again. Alone.”

“I should have listened to the little voice in my head. It was always right. If things seemed to good to be true…they usually were.”

“Blake already owned my heart. He always had. But could I give him my damaged soul?”
