SYNOPSIS:
My love was thick.

Her faith was thin.

Somewhere in the middle is where life found us.

I claimed her when I was a boy.ThickThin_CVR

I held her until I was a man.

She was my first thought every morning, my last smile at night, and a million memories in between.

Then one night, with her warmth still lingering on the sheets, Aly King walked away from me, from us, from our life.

They say time heals all wounds, but not for me.

Not when my heart is empty.

Not when there is nothing but a sea of meaningless faces wherever I go.

It always comes back to her.

Aly needs reminding of how drunk our love made us, before she forgets completely.

Before we lose our chance.

Before we are irrevocably broken.

THICK & THIN EXCERPT

“You don’t want to remember?”

I didn’t. Not a single memory. A touch that was new, a taste that was different—that’s what I wanted. Memory came with emotion. It came with commitment, something that would land me back where I’d begun four years ago. I wanted to move beyond that. I wanted more.

“I…I want you to touch me like you don’t know me.” That hand slowed, the friction easing and I couldn’t look at him. “I want you to touch me like a stranger.”

He didn’t stop moving against me. Ransom wasn’t purposefully cruel. He thought he knew me, assumed he knew when I was pretending. But I wasn’t this time. I wanted him to give me what I asked for, not what he thought I wanted, not what I had wanted in the past. But he couldn’t do it. No, he wasn’t a stranger. He knew how close I’d come to climax. So he didn’t stop, only slowed before he moved his hips, release my wrist to pull my face up. And because I recognized how badly he wanted this, and knew that I would end up wanting it, too, I let go of wanting anything else and gave myself up to his touch, his fire, his desire.

“A stranger doesn’t touch you, Aly. Not like this.” And with that one touch, Ransom fractured the reserve I had tried so desperately to maintain. A push of my flesh, finger under my thong, right against my clit, bare, raw and that tactile, desperate urgency eased.

“A stranger wouldn’t know what you whimper when you want it, when you’re so close to falling apart that your breath becomes a muffle of sound.” He tugged at my pants, freed me from anything but the floor under me and his touch. His palm over my naked ass, then he pulled me against his body until he pushed his fingers inside me, working me hard, like no one but Ransom ever had. Ever could.

“No stranger would know that your breath hitches, that you hold everything still, the air in your lungs, even the beat of your pulse when I touch you.” He showed me then, with the dip of his fingers deep inside. And all did go still then—the breath between us, the axis of the world, my beating heart…it all seemed to stop until he moved his fingers over me, sliding until he found his way to a rhythm that made time coil and speed as quickly as it had slowed. Nothing held me back then. No excuses of why he shouldn’t touch me, no lies I told myself about not loving him anymore.

“I’m not a stranger, nani. Your body knows that.” Working faster, deeper, he smiled, pleased and happy when my mouth opened, when the space between us filled with the soft noises I made. His face wasn’t expressionless anymore. It told me all I thought I’d forgotten. The act of touching me, making me come, the noises I made, it was all familiar to Ransom. It was comfortable.

“Strangers don’t know love this deep. If they did, they wouldn’t be strangers at all.” That he whispered against my lips, kissing me like he couldn’t keep from it for another second.

“Ransom…”

“I’ll never be a stranger, Aly, because this body, your heart is mine. It always will be.”

Check out our 5 smooches review HERE.

Wingman rule number two: never reveal how much you want them.

Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex. But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right? All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts. He isn’t sure if he wants to strangle her or throw her against the nearest sturdy table and have his way with her.

But Gabi has a secret, something she’s keeping from not just her best friend but her nemesis too. Lines are blurred as Lex becomes less the villain she’s always painted him to be…and starts turning into something more. Gabi has always hated the way she’s been just a little bit attracted to him—no computer-science major should have that nice of a body or look that good in glasses—but “Lex Luthor” is an evil womanizer. He’s dangerous. Gabi should stay far, far away.

Then again, she’s always wanted a little danger.

REVIEW

You guys,  I have been dying for this book.  DYING.  Because I loved The Matchmaker’s Playbook.  It was really funny and swoony.  But the main reason that I was excited for this book was Lex and Gabi.  Because they were an absolute hot mess The Matchmaker’s Playbook.  They hated each other and would actually physically harm each other.  I do love an enemy to lovers romance and I just knew theirs was going to be epic and it was.  IT SO WAS.

“Grabbing your penis is not the answer, Lex!”

“Weird, because it so often is.”

This is probably the funniest, sexiest, and most smarty written Rachel Van Dyken book I have ever read.  It is right up there for with her Ruin Series which I absolutely adore.  I was literally laughing out loud.  I feel like Rachel has been holding back a little on us because this book was so much more funny than some of her other romcoms.  GabI and Lex’s banter really was the very best.  But the sexual tension so hot.  I mean, these two would kiss and I would feel like my entire face was on fire.  The sexually charged scenes were spot on but then again so were the fights.  Maybe it was the way they went from absolutely hating each other to basically dry humping that made me so happy but I just adored this book!

“Full. . . I’m so full.”

“Of me.”

So get ready, guys!  Because this book is amazing.  Seriously, one of my top favorite of 2016.  Get ready to laugh and swoon, but don’t forget to bring a change of panties.

~Amie

Blurb

One word.

Two letters.

But those two letters changed everything.

It was impossible to predict the impact I would have on the life of the only woman I’d ever truly loved. No way to know that I would result in her ruin.

I’d suffer for eternity with the knowledge that it was me who brought devastation to her doorstep.

Though I deserved the anguish I felt, to see her suffer was unacceptable.

I would fix this.

Somehow I would prove to her that I wasn’t the monster she thought I was.

Even if it meant becoming a monster in order to make that happen.

EXCERPT

Then the door swung open and there he was. For a brief moment I was taken by his handsome features—his olive skin and pronounced jaw, the sparkle in his dark eyes, his perfect, straight nose. More than anything, it was the pull that remained between us that surprised me. Like I was a planet still circling his sun.

There was a moment when we locked eyes that the gravity of all that had happened wasn’t weighing heavy between us, and it almost caused me to stumble back.

Then, after the moment of intimacy had passed, I was sure I saw dread slip over his expression. I wasn’t going to stay put and find out though.

I wouldn’t be standing on his doorstep begging for whatever scraps of information he deemed worthy of casting my way. No, I was here to demand what he, at the very least, owed me, and I wouldn’t leave until he gave it to me.

“We need to talk.” I pushed past him, careful not to make contact, and bolted down the hallway toward the living room.

“Emily, this isn’t a good time.” Marco’s footsteps followed quickly behind me.

“I don’t care. Put aside whatever it is you’re doing. I want answers.”

I came to an abrupt stop when I stepped into the living/dining area and found Alexa sprawled across the couch like she was a feast ready to be enjoyed.

Her blouse was half unbuttoned, her legs draped over the cushions, causing her skirt to ride up a bit on her thighs, and her lips slightly swollen. Her lipstick had been rubbed off her mouth and onto her skin. She wore a saccharine smile that I wanted to rip off her face.

I crossed my arms over my chest and turned back to Marco. “Oh, I see. Well, pardon me for interrupting.” There was no disguising the venom in my voice.

His tortured gazed darted from me to her and back a few times before he schooled his features and responded. “Can we have this conversation some other time?” he asked, his voice neutral.

“Marco, who’s this?” Alexa purred from behind me.

I spun to address her with a fake smile on my face. “I’m Emily. We met at the art show a few months ago when I was there with Marco. Back when we were still fucking. You can call me Brandi, though.” I turned to lock gazes with him before finishing. “Everyone who knows me intimately does.”

His fists clenched at his sides and his jaw tightened. Good. Some small part of me was pleased that I was still able to elicit a reaction like that from him.

I swung my attention back to the blonde on the couch. “I’m sorry to swing by unannounced like this and interrupt what was obviously going to be a good time for you both. I just need a few minutes with Marco, and then I’ll be out of your hair.”

Alexa’s eyes narrowed on me for a moment, and though she was playing nice with me—probably for Marco’s benefit—it was clear she wasn’t pleased with the interruption.

“Perhaps I should go,” she said.

“No!” Marco said, whip fast. “Emily should be the one to leave.”

Not going to lie.

That stung.

A lot.

No matter that everything between Marco and I had been based on lies, the fact that I was so easily tossed aside smarted.

“I’m not going anywhere until we speak.” I leveled him with a gaze that told him I was serious.

“Why don’t you use my bathroom to freshen up, Alexa? It’s that way through my bedroom.” He pointed toward the room that we’d spent many a night in. “I’ll meet you there in a few minutes.”

A victorious smile crept across her face, and her gaze swung to me as she rose from the couch. She brushed her fingers across Marco’s chest as she passed him. “Don’t be too long.”

He nodded but didn’t spare her a glance as she passed, his gaze still fixed on me.

As soon as the bedroom door closed, I spoke. “Sorry to interrupt your play time, Marco, but you owe me some answers and I’m ready to collect.”

Synopsis

Love is just a word until someone enters your life and gives it meaning.

“No”
One word.

Review

‘The man I loved had betrayed me.’

I love Elisabeth Grace’s books but Hook left us all with the cliffy to end all cliffy’s and I was personally worried how everything could be fixed and resolved. The worst thing that could happen happened and moving on from that seemed impossible. Yet, from the beginning of Burn I was pulled in and even when the book got to the darkest of places I was still optimistic that Emily and Marco would find a way to come together.

“Careful, cara. The revenge you seek may very well be your destruction.”

Going over plot in this series is impossible as it seems like everything is a spoiler. But after everything goes down in Hook everything changes and the stability and normalcy that Marco and Emily seemed to be working towards is over and Emily is back to making hard decisions. She has to do some things that honestly turned my stomach a bit but were for the bigger picture. Even when I hated some of her decisions I could not seem to dislike her. Likewise, even though I should be blaming Marco for all that went down I still seemed to be rooting for him the whole time.

‘But I was afraid, too. Afraid I’d fall too far and too fast like I had before. Afraid I’d end up decimated once more.’

Burn is dark and difficult but the love between Marco and Emily is timeless and impossible to resist. Even with every card stacked against them they are pulled toward each other. This series ruined me, my heart ached constantly in the best way possible. Elisabeth Grace is a phenomenal writer and I hope she explores more books in this style in the future.

Battler by C.L. Masonite Review

3.5 Smooches!

01e 01d 01c 01g

Synopsis

For years I have been cast away—afar, out of reach, out of sight, out of mind. But now I’m back. I’ve been brought back into the fold, and I don’t know why. But I’ll find out, no matter the cost.

I’ll also break free from the shark infested waters littered with those that seek to restrain me, to keep me in line—my ex, my father, my mother, my sister.

And as for the Wolfe twin brothers, I’ll take them on. And I’ll take them out too.

Drasko Wolfe thinks that he’ll make me his—but I am all mine. If he thinks I am going to be just another conquest, and do things at his behest then he may do so at his own coroner’s inquest.

I am not just fighting for my survival, I am fighting for my little brother’s protection, and that makes me doubly motivated and doubly dangerous.

I—Riletta Kasonite will best them all and come out on top. I will bow those who seek to hurt me to my will until they renounce their lies—until they come clean and their secrets are exposed. Until I get what I want.

WARNING: Contains countless confrontations, not to mention mature, young adult/ adult situations too.

 

REVIEW

For years Riletta has been a loner, hated by her family, no friends, with only her little brother who she loved and he loved her back; she would do anything for him, even try and get close to the Wolfe brothers so she can stay out of trouble and stay in her brothers life. But Drasko and Trent are not like normal guys; they have a fierce loyalty, and don’t let anyone get close but Riletta is up for the challenge and she might just be strong enough, cocky enough and so un-effected by the brothers that they will want to get to know her.

“The truth always comes back to haunt you. It can be cleaned from your hands but like blood, it always stains the soul. It cannot be expunged—not even through sheer will. And now mine was exposed—undone before my very eyes.”

This was a read with a really creative and interesting plot line but with the tell tale signs of a new author. That’s not to say it wasn’t an enjoyable read but it did not flow as well as other stories, which is the reason behind it being a 3.5 read rather than a 4 star.

“I’m a hunter. I’ll give chase. Run, but I’ll find you. Put up your walls, but I’ll bring them down. Then it will just be you and me—no barriers, no pretenses, no secrets. You’ll be laid out bare. Only then will I take you.”

I loved the main characters. Riletta was so feisty, so strong and determined and I honestly loved her. She wouldn’t let the Wolfe brothers intimidate her and she wouldn’t let her vile family beat her down; sure their words and actions affected her sometimes but she always came back fighting.

“Loneliness was not my weakness. It was my weapon.”

The brothers were my kind of guys; cocky, funny, in charge and slightly intimidating. Trent was hilarious and I loved his more laid back personality. Whereas Drasko was more broody, silent and had an air of authority about him. They complimented each other perfectly and you could see why together they held such a high status.

“I was right before. You’re alive but something stops you from living. You think that you’re unsalvageable because you are unheard or misunderstood. But I understand you, Riletta, even without words, I hear you.”

The story was fascinating. It was a bit hard to follow sometimes or to try and gauge where it was going but that kept me on my toes. All of the lies, betrayals and secrets really kept you bouncing back and forth about what I thought was happening. I needed to know why her family hates her so much? I needed to know why the brothers were so powerful and what secrets they had? So many questions and some of them do get answered in this book but we are also left on a massive cliffhanger- which has left me reeling.

“I will build you up until the mere vibration of sensation, of that less than a touch will catapult you into a minefield of inexplicable rapture that will have you reaching the seventh heaven.”

Interesting, fast paced, secrets and lies, betrayal, passion, and all forms of relationships is packed full in this book and I now can’t wait to find out what happens next and to find the answers to more of my questions.

Franka

“You need to leave,” I declared.

His brows drew together a moment before his expression showed clearly that comprehension had dawned.

Sadly, comprehension might have dawned but he didn’t leave.

He crouched by the bed and offered in a soft voice, “You need me to carry you to the other room so you can have a bit of privacy?”

Dear goddess.

He thought I needed a chamber pot.

But…

What was happening to my face?

Dear goddess!

The heat I felt in my cheeks could be nothing other than me blushing.

I didn’t blush. I’d never blushed. Not even when I’d set about seducing my first lover at age sixteen.

I needed to be quit of this man as soon as possible.

“No…I…do…not,” I bit out.

“Sure?” he asked kindly.

“I need you to leave, Noctorno,” I used his full name in an effort to irritate, something that worked if the flare in his eyes was any indication, “so Josette can prepare me. We’re away to Kristian’s this morning.”

Another drawing of his brows before he asked, “What?”

“After my toilette, Josette and I are to my sleigh so we can begin our journey to my brother’s home.”

His eyes got bigger as his mouth inquired peculiarly, “Are you high?”

“No,” I answered his ridiculous question unnecessarily, “Indeed, I’m low. As you can see since I’m lying abed.”

For a second he just stared at me.

Then he threw his head back and burst into loud, deep, beautiful laughter.

I wanted to throw something at him.

Unfortunately, in my current position, this was not an option open to me.

“I fail to see what’s amusing,” I noted.

He controlled his mirth only to mutter, “I’ll explain it later.” He went on more distinctly, “Frannie, you’re not goin’ to your brother’s today. Or tomorrow. Or until you’re fit. Then, maybe Valentine will spirit you there, or whatever the fuck that’s called. But for the foreseeable future, your ass is in that bed and you’re resting so you can heal.”

Well!

Who did he think he was, telling me what I would or would not do?

“As you’ve determined,” I began, “this is not the first time I’ve been in this condition so I do believe that I know best what I’m capable of and…”

I stopped speaking because he came slightly out of his crouch so he could put his face into my face and he was no longer looking mirthful.

He was looking angry.

Very angry.

“That was when you had no one lookin’ out for you but that’s not the case anymore. So this is how it’s gonna be,” he announced.

He then, to my shock, irritation and outrage, announced how it was going to be.

Like he had the right to tell me how it was going to be!

Kristin Ashley - headshotAbout Kristen Ashley:

Kristen Ashley was born in Gary, Indiana, USA and nearly killed her mother and herself making it into the world, seeing as she had the umbilical cord wrapped around her neck (already attempting to accessorise and she hadn’t taken her first breath!). Her mother said they took Kristen away, put her Mom back in her room, her mother looked out the window, and Gary was on fire (Dr. King had been assassinated four days before). Kristen’s Mom remembered thinking it was the end of the world. Quite the dramatic beginning.

Nothing’s changed.

Kristen grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana and has lived in Denver, Colorado and the West Country of England. Thus, she’s blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her family was (is) loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. They all lived together on a very small farm in a small farm town in the heartland. She grew up with Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon and Whitesnake (and the wardrobes that matched).

Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music, clothes and love was a good way to grow up.

And as she keeps growing, it keeps getting better.

Battler by C.L. Masonite Blog Tour with Giveaway

Battler (Battler #1)

Author: C.L. Masonite

Genre: NA/Contemp Romance

Cover Design: Kari Ayasha – Cover to Cover Designs

Available Now

For years I have been cast away—afar, out of reach, out of sight, out of mind. But now I’m back. I’ve been brought back into the fold, and I don’t know why. But I’ll find out, no matter the cost.

I’ll also break free from the shark infested waters littered with those that seek to restrain me, to keep me in line—my ex, my father, my mother, my sister.

And as for the Wolfe twin brothers, I’ll take them on. And I’ll take them out too.

Drasko Wolfe thinks that he’ll make me his—but I am all mine. If he thinks I am going to be just another conquest, and do things at his behest then he may do so at his own coroner’s inquest.

I am not just fighting for my survival, I am fighting for my little brother’s protection, and that makes me doubly motivated and doubly dangerous.

I—Riletta Kasonite will best them all and come out on top. I will bow those who seek to hurt me to my will until they renounce their lies—until they come clean and their secrets are exposed. Until I get what I want.

WARNING: Contains countless confrontations, not to mention mature, young adult/ adult situations too.

Writing isn’t a job – it’s not a way of life – it’s a dream!

I’ve lived thousands of moments and I’ve been to thousands of places crafted by the soul crushing and soul mending words of thousands of authors. (Metaphorically raises glass of gin and tonic) Here’s to hoping I’ve created one thousandth of a moment of life for you …

Banking The Billionaire by Max Monroe Release Blitz

31BANKING THE BILLIONAIRE

By Max Monroe

We highly encourage you to build your own posts based on your own reactions using the information we provide rather than having to copy and post something of our making. We LOVE to see your personal reactions in print, and we think the readers will love it too.
We’ve attached an exclusive graphic to use with your post, but you can feel free to use one that you’ve made as well.
Blurb: Uninhibited. Sarcastic. Confident. Beautiful. With a thriving photography career that allows her to travel all over the world and capture the hottest of men behind her camera lens, Cassie Phillips is the woman who can’t be tamed.
Adrenaline-junkie. Jokester. Billionaire. Hot-as-sin. At six-foot-five, with muscles for days, and that perfect playful smile, Thatcher Kelly is the kind of man you don’t want to deny.
Wild for wild. Prank for prank. The two most unlikely of people may be the only ones to see that some personality traits only run skin deep.
Uncensored. Hilarious. And too damn hot to put into words. Grab a fan and get ready for one hell of a ride because when the opposite of opposites attract, things are bound to get a little messy.
If you’d like to use this “disclaimer” instead of the blurb in an effort to mix things up, we encourage that as well:
Disclaimer:
The CDC has been notified of the infectious nature of Cassie’s craziness, siting her first case of full transmission to Thatcher Kelly. Measures should be taken to counteract its fast regeneration cycle, but avoiding the book is not recommended at this time. The Epilogue is the only known antidote.
