Synopsis

James Martin aka The Play Maker: international soccer sensation, owner of a drool-worthy body, and panty-dropping man whore.

He’s the perfect one night stand.

And by one night stand I mean two night stand.

And by two night stand I mean three night stand.

Nicole Grant is living every girl’s fantasy: a rendezvous with the sexiest Brit on either side of the pond. It’s just one night, and that’s fine with her. With her busy work schedule and a brother she’s devoted to, flings are all Nicole has time for. No complicated feelings and no strings attached. Just hot sex.

James Martin is used to scoring — on and off the field. His prowess in the game is rivaled only by his reputation in the tabloids. But after Nicole gives him the best hookup of his life, he experiences something new: a woman who isn’t throwing herself at his feet, who knows all he has to offer and is still keeping her distance. Apparently there’s a first time for everything.

James can’t get Nicole out of his head. She’s funny and she’s irresistible. Nicole can’t James off her mind. He’s good hearted and he’s sexy. Will their standoff end in a draw, or can this one night stand kick off something real?

 

REVIEW

Nicole is a funny, sweet, caring, beautiful young woman. She’s loved by many and although she has her admirers, she will never get committed to anyone, just fun and easy encounters. Because the main person in her life is her brother, he depends on her and she will do anything and everything for him. But things might be about to change when sexy, but known playboy, football star, James Martin, walks up to her counter. Nicole can’t stop thinking that maybe she wants more than just one passionate night….maybe a lot more?

“It felt like I had been waiting for this moment for years, instead of only a few hours.”

This was a really fun, flirty, sexy, romance with some really cute aspects added that made it slightly different to the norm. I’ve always loved sports romances and this was no different!

“One night stands were one night. That was the rule. No repeats. No Exceptions.”

Nicole was honestly one of the loveliest female characters I have read. You could see why so many loved her and her dedication to support and help her brother was so beautiful to read. I actually also really liked her love em and leave em attitude, it was refreshing for a woman to be like that rather than a man; think it showed she confident on her own and didn’t need a man to make her happy.

“Why not indulge in a fantasy I had at my fingertips? Would another night with James really be so bad? After all, it was just s*x.”

James was our sexy, cocky, confident, British sports star. I really liked James, I liked that even though he had a reputation as a a bit of a player, really he wasn’t and his reputation was worse than the reality. When he sees that Nicole is trying to leave him behind, he ups his game and his charm and I loved that he chased after her, wanted to prove himself and fight for her. It was good to see him wanting to look after her, after Nicole has always looked after others before herself.

“The perfect one night stand shows up just as I’m ready to try the whole dating thing. Just my f**king luck.”

This was just a fun, easy read. With a really captivating and entertaining relationship between the two main characters and some good dynamics between others in the story. It was also fun to read about the guy chasing the girl. It had some lovely heart warming moments, some tear jerking moments, definitely some sexy, hot, scenes and some interesting plot surprises which kept the story flowing nicely!

The Firework Exploded by Tara Sivec Release Blitz

1

Sam and Noel’s whirlwind Christmas romance shot through Valentine’s Day and is exploding on the Fourth of July!

“You should get married on the 4th,” they said. “It will be so romantic,” they said.

Did you know that during a pyrotechnic display, a single firework travels 481 feet per second and can take out a small village? Did you know it can also singe the ball hair off of any man standing within a mile radius of said-pyrotechnic display (and singed ball hair smells a lot like a sh*t-filled baby diaper that’s been lit on fire), and it can make a vintage wedding dress go up in flames like a barn full of dry hay?

Yeah, me either…

Review

“The firework is lit, but never explodes.”

The Holiday’s series by Tara Sivec is a fun and silly series and this newest book, The Firework Exploded is no different. Now don’t go into this story (or series) looking for high drama, which should be evident by the covers and blurbs but just in case, but expect to laugh your ass off and have a simple happy and silly feeling.

‘There is no way I’m going to let the love of my life die from a heart attack or never be able to have sex with me again just because my family if certifiable.’

Noel and Sam are at it again with their extended crazy crew and the antics are high and the situational humor is on point. With their wedding looming the constant meddling of their friends and family the stress is rising with everyday and now they get to add Sam’s inability to cross the finish line, if you know what I mean, to the list of everything that could go wrong. Noel and Sam have the sweetest relationship at the root of all the insane antics, I really do enjoy them and the extended cast is constantly making me giggle and even laughing out loud.

“I really want to have sex with you, but it always ends with one of us crying, because . . elbow fisting.”

All in all, The Firework Exploded, is a fast and fun read that makes for a great escape from the reality of life. If you like to laugh and enjoy over the top humor than this will be just right for you.

Ret North knows exactly who he is—a Dominant male with an insatiable sexual appetite. He’s always been a top, searching for his bottom…until a notorious switch catches his eye.

Alese Kane has grown tired of her usual partners. She’s been watching Ret for months, wanting to run her tongue along his hard muscles. But his need for total control stops her.

Ret worries that a relationship with Alese would be impossible, but his giant ego and even larger cock tell him otherwise. Unable to deny his attraction to her any longer, Ret convinces Alese to submit to him.

When Ret dominates Alese, will she submit or will she top from the bottom?

clubLM1EXCERPT

I can almost smell her arousal from across the booth, and my mouth waters from the scent. “Lucky bastard,” I whisper so quietly that only I can hear over the music in the background.

Stella’s body starts to tremble, her creamy skin glistening under the lights. Her breathing changes and she lets out a small moan.

Misha’s hand stops and he whispers in her ear. She nods before his hands start to move again under the table. “Open your eyes, Stella. I want Master Ret to watch you fall apart in my lap.”

Her head slowly moves off his shoulder and her eyes flutter open.

I swallow, my mouth suddenly dry when our eyes meet. Without breaking eye contact, and with my hand still holding my hardened cock, I pick up the scotch and watch over the rim. I try to quell the thirst, but it doesn’t work.

I don’t need a drink. I need a submissive.

Synopsis

Ret North knows exactly who he is—a Dominant male with an insatiable sexual appetite. He’s always been a top, searching for his bottom…until a notorious switch catches his eye.

REVIEW

This novella is a part of The Club series, a multi-author project chronicles the relationships and exploits of the members of an exclusive BDSM club in Karim, Texas. Each novella is written by a different author and follows a different couple. Top Bottom Switch by Chelle Bliss is Master Ret and Alese’s story.

“I no longer want a plaything, I want a lover, a partner, and the one who completes me.”

Master Ret has grown bored. He is no longer finding the spark or the thrill in his playtime with the submissives at The Club, and even worse, he’s not really having fun anymore either. Witnessing the easy and satisfying relationship between his friend and fellow club dominant, Misha, and his submissive, Stella, sparks a longing in Ret as he finds himself wanting something more fulfilling and permanent for himself.

“…she is submissive, but she hasn’t admitted it to herself.”

Alese is floundering in her sexuality, and she’s unable to find her footing as either a submissive or a domme. She can’t fully put her trust in any of the dominants she’s played with enough to let go and enjoy the experience nor does she have the commanding presence to fulfill the role of a domme. On the heels of yet another disastrous play session at The Club, Alese is presented with a proposal from Master Ret. Will she be able to put her trust in him and find what she’s looking for?

“…I know what I want, and I want you…”

This was a very, very quick read, but man did it pack a seriously sexy punch! For such a short book, it was very, very long on sexy details as it delved into the dynamic between a Dominant and a submissive. Be warned, though, that this novella explicitly details that lifestyle, so if that isn’t your thing, this won’t be either. But if it is, and you’re looking for a quick escape to into a sinfully sexy world, Top Bottom Switch will fill that role perfectly. 4 smooches from me!
