Speechless by Nicole Edwards Release Blitz

Title: Speechless

Series: Pier 70 #3

Author: Nicole Edwards

Genre: Adult, M/M Romance

Published: June 7, 2016

He’s suffering in silence…

Teague Carter, one of the four owners of Pier 70 Marina, has spent his life feeling rejected. To the point that he has never allowed himself to get close to anyone. He prefers it that way, in fact. But he refuses to believe that his destructive behavior might be something more than rebellion.

He’s unable to speak…

Hudson Ballard, Pier 70’s mechanic, has been fighting his attraction to Teague for years. He has stood by and watched the kid get more and more out of control, but this time is the last. If Teague wants to use sex to escape his problems, Hudson is certainly willing to be the one to show him that he’s good with more than just his hands.

Sometimes words aren’t necessary.

There are fireworks when this out-of-control bad boy agrees to no strings with this tatted up, dominating mechanic.

Can Teague and Hudson keep their emotions from getting involved in their arrangement? Or — thanks to the demons from their pasts — will the darkness steal from them before they have a chance?

 

We invite you join the Nicole & Colt Edwards Group on Facebook. Don’t miss out on the fun and prizes at the Speechless Release Party happening Monday, June 7th starting at 8 AM CST till Tuesday, June 8th at 10 PM CST.

Her books have been featured in USA Today’s Happy Ever After segment as well as Indie Reader’s best seller list. She has forged her way as an independent author.

Although she has a bachelor’s degree in Human Resources, she prefers to be hiding out in her writing cave, talking to the fictional characters that have built up in her head over the years.

When she isn’t writing or plotting her next book (sometimes translated to “playing on Facebook”), Nicole loves to read and spend time with her family and her dogs.

About Love’s Learning Curve:

Love's Learning Curve

College for most girls comes with a rite of passage to make mistakes, to live fearlessly, and to experience the real world while not under a microscope, having every move made scrutinized, criticized and worst of all, publicized.

Tyler Stone lives for baseball and everything that comes with it, and has the stats to prove he’s an exceptional player. The only place Tyler Stone feels he matters is on the pitching mound. Without the distraction of dating, or making friends he can concentrate on the one thing that makes him feel complete – Baseball.

What happens when you’re attracted to the wrong person?


AIDEEN


I didn’t expect to feel so drawn to my best friend’s father when I first meet him.

It’s unexplainable and most of all, it’s unexpected. He drinks too much, is rough around the edges, and is so obviously into casual sex and nothing more, but there’s just something about him that calls out to me. 

I’ve thought my heart was battered beyond repair, but maybe I have been wrong. 


“There was something so sexual, so carnal, so intense in the way Jensen looked at me.’’ 


JENSEN


She is my son’s best friend and I know he wants more, but I can’t help it. Whenever she is around or her name is mentioned I’m turned on. I’m not used to denying myself to feeling so strongly for a woman so young, but she gets me.

I can’t do a damn thing to stop these feelings. 

No amount of alcohol helps.

I didn’t think it could be possible to feel so drawn to a woman, but it looks like I have been dead wrong. 


“I want her to want me just as madly as I do her.’’ 


They shouldn’t and yet…

They can’t resist each other.

Excerpt:

“I’m the worst fucker, right? I’m going after the girl my son has feelings for. I actually fucked the girl he’s after. Tell me I’m not bad news now.’’

I cringe, but even then I don’t feel it. I’m supposed to be angry on Hal’s behalf, to be disgusted that a man could go behind his son’s back like this, but I’m not. I want to forget everything and Jensen can do it. I want to be wanted, so wanted that all control has gone out the window and I’ve only known this with Jensen. It’s only Jensen always on my mind, even more than Yann these days. It’s Jensen I crave in a way I’m still unfamiliar with. 

“I’m just as bad, then. I only found out today and I still want you.’’

He stops breathing before he lets out a long relieved sigh. “You don’t want to be with him?’’

I shake my head. “Not at all.’’

He comes back to me and forces me to walk backward as he takes a hold of both my hands and locks my wrists behind my back. He’s crowding me and I’m letting him lead. “Do you have any idea how crazy you make me?’’ He backs me against his bike, my ass pushing against the slick machine as he tugs on my wrists behind my back until I lower my back slightly. “Do you know how dangerous it is for me to feel this way? I’m losing it with you, beautiful. I’m lost on the very edge of the cliff now and at any time I’m going to fucking jump. You better be ready to jump with me and fall,’’ he growls out before he releases my wrists to grab my hips and bring me on the bike, my legs wide open, my back to the handle bars. He throws his long leg over the saddle and faces me before he grabs me again and sits me over him until I feel his thick erection against the apex of my thighs, pushing against my aching core.

I lose all train of thought. I can’t process his words, the way his eyes seem desperate for me. All that’s on my mind is the way his hands feel on me, the way he’s already so hard, so ready for me. All I want is him inside me. Now. On his bike.

“Jensen,’’ I say in a sigh as we lock our mouths in a deep kiss that shakes me whole.

I grip his head, my fingers weaving through his short hair as his tongue battles with mine in a delicious war that sends my blood into overdrive. I move against him, pushing just enough to feel his cock rub over my clit through our jeans. 

“I want to hear you scream my name until you’re hoarse, beautiful, and you’re going to,’’ he says in my mouth as he unzips my jacket and takes it off me, sending it to the dirty ground full of dead leaves, dry sticks of wood, grass, and moss.

Marriage To A Mister by DeAnne Cherry Review

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00033]

4 Smooches

a4 a4-5 a4-4 a4-3

Blurb

Lady Fleur Osborne knows several things to be true: her father would likely continue to turn away every suitor at the door, her sister could very well end up unmatched by fault of her clever mouth alone, and that Fleur herself is perfectly happy to say goodbye to the marriage mart and devote her days to caring for her father and his estate.

But fate, it would seem, has little care for Fleur’s wishes, and its plans are made known by way of two matchmaking fathers, a Viscount’s unexpected proposal, and a murderous flowerpot that thwarts their carefully laid schemes.

Evan Woolf has been content to stay away from the ton and its mischief, happily sequestered in his dusty library with his work, the choice in no way due to the chance of seeing Lady Fleur again. It has been too long since he has seen her, and the pain between them has deepened the chasm to bounds impassable.

But when the two collide in a scandal, the likes of which only France could provide, Evan finds himself given a second chance, and it’s one he won’t squander. And in the end, the flower and the wolf may find themselves in love once again, against all odds, and with a match made forever.

Review

‘She wasn’t so ignorant as to expect a love match – those thoughts had long ago left when her first two seasons crushed her idealistic expectations of love and devotion.’ 

In all honesty I have ready very very little historical romance beyond that of Jane Austen and it is definitely not something I reach for typically. So when I went into this book it was with few expectations and I just want to say how surprised I was how quickly I got completely wrapped up in the fun plot and loveable characters. Since I have not read much historical romance I can not speak to the accuracy of the Regency setting but instead I can say that for someone who reads about a book a day this one both kept my attention and had me smiling from beginning to end.

“How do I feel? How do you expect me to feel An arranged marriage, all due to a blasted flower pot.”

Years after becoming estranged from her closest friend and childhood crush, Evan, Fleur finds herself engaged to be married to his brother. Evan has always felt he was in his brother’s shadow as simply Mr. Woolf while his older brother is the Viscount. After leaving for school he never returned leaving Fleur behind. But after a flower pot disaster forces him into a situation he never dreamed would be true both Evan and Fleur have to not only get reacquainted but find a way to move on from the pains of the past.

‘Somehow by some random chance of what some would call a disaster, he was going to finally have her, and he promised her father that he would make her happy. Only he did not know how he was to accomplish it.’

While placed in the Regency era I found Marriage To A Mister to be a timeless romance. I was constantly laughing and rooting for these two characters to work through it all and by the end I was completely excited to try out more Regency Romance. I thin kif a book can turn you on to a whole new genre than it must be pretty good, right?

What is it about this guy?

On paper, he’s one hundred percent wrong for me. His e-mails are equal parts annoying and funny.

Okay, more funny than annoying. More like refreshing. Different. Exciting.

But as I stand next to him now, he’s giving me head-to-toe tingles, and I find myself dwelling on his e-mails.

Meet smart, sexy career girl and New York snob, Charli Richards. She has everything except happiness until the day she meets Layton Griffin. It’s a random encounter on an airplane; it couldn’t mean anything, right?

Layton isn’t even remotely close to who Charli sees herself hooking up with . . . ever. Her mom and best friend agree he’s not for her, but he makes her feel something exciting, awakens her world.

But then Layton changes, going to great lengths for Charli to see him for who he really is.

Will those changes bring them closer together, or will she never be able to see him in the same way again?

Synopsis:

I, Makayla Alexander, am on a mission to reinvent myself. So when a super hot guy boards the plane and flashes his rock hard abs, I pay attention. When he sits next to me and offers me his nuts, I can’t resist. But when I choke on them and he tells me I need to work on my gag reflex, I realize I might be in over my head.

Before I know it we’re in the lavatory and attempting to join the Mile High Club. Let me just say this…anyone who tells you it’s easy to get it on at 37,000 feet isn’t telling you the truth. After the flight attendant busts us for getting frisky in the air, the only thing that can ease my total and complete mortification is the simple fact that I am never going to see him again.

Hours later, I can’t help but wonder if fate will ever allow me to become a new version of myself.

With that bring-you-to-your-knees body, that handsome-as-hell face, and that dirty, dirty mouth, I guarantee one glance from him wets every girl’s bikini bottoms.

And then there’s me…the quirky girl looking to find herself in California. All I want to do is learn to let loose. Say words like peace and groovy. Bury my toes in the sand. Who knows, maybe even have sex on the beach.

Unable to get him out of my head, I entertain the thought of being more than just friends. I know the idea is absurd. And yet, I go with it. You see Camden Waters gets me. Really gets me. Like no other guy has before.

On this 7-mile stretch of paradise, I decide to keep things simple and just have fun…that is until fate decides to screw with me, again.

Can two people hell-bent on finding themselves realize the search should have ended the day they met? Find out in No Pants Required—a sexy, funny, romantic stand-alone, that will have you hurrying to grab your bathing suit and rushing to the beach to check out every lifeguard on duty.

Sienna Diaz is everyone’s favorite “fat” funny lady. The movie studio executives can’t explain it, but her films are out-grossing all the fit and trim headliners and Hollywood’s most beautiful elite. The simple truth is, everyone loves plus-sized Sienna.

But she has a problem, she can’t read maps and her sense of direction is almost as bad as her comedic timing is stellar. Therefore, when Sienna’s latest starring role takes her to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park she finds herself continually lost while trying to navigate the backroads of Green Valley, Tennessee. Much to her consternation, Sienna’s most frequent savior is a ridiculously handsome, charming, and cheeky Park Ranger by the name of Jethro Winston.

Sienna is accustomed to high levels of man-handsome, so it’s not Jethro’s chiseled features or his perfect physique that make Sienna stutter. It’s his southern charm. And gentlemanly manners. And habit of looking at her too long and too often.

Sienna has successfully navigated the labyrinth of Hollywood heartthrobs. But can she traverse the tenuous trails of Tennessee without losing her head? Or worse, her heart?

Excerpt

Finally releasing her hand, Cletus noted conversationally, “If you come next Wednesday, I’ll let you try my sausage.”

I gathered a breath for patience and squeezed Sienna’s waist.

“Here we go,” Drew said as he swapped a knowing look with my sister.

Meanwhile, Beau rolled his eyes and released a disgusted snort. “Not this again.”

“Cletus’s famous sausage is famous,” Jess added helpfully, her eyebrows bouncing. She was already giggling.

Not missing a beat, Sienna asked, “How do you make it? Do you bake it?”

“No way. The heat isn’t right. In order for the sausage to mature, it needs the right type and application of heat. It needs heat on all sides, and wet heat is best.”

“You are the worst,” Billy said, though his mouth hitched on one side.

“This joke never gets old.” Jess was now laughing so hard she’d gripped her stomach, tears leaking from her eyes.

“It does when you have to hear it every month for ten years,” Duane complained, but couldn’t quite manage a scowl.

“My sausage is no joke.” Cletus frowned, wagging his finger through the air like we were all juveniles.

“So you grill it,” Sienna supplied, moving the conversation back on track.

“That’s right.”

“Good.” She nodded once, sounding thoughtful. “In that case, I insist you taste my thighs and breasts.”

These words, so calmly and earnestly spoken, rendered us all speechless.

Even Cletus.

I do believe we stared at Sienna in a collective state of paralyzed suspension, no one quite knowing how to react to her offer.

I felt her shoulders shake, so I shifted to the side, wanting to catch her expression. Her irresistible dimples flashed in full force and she giggled as she explained, “I have a great mojo chicken recipe. We can grill the chicken and sausage together.” Then to Cletus she said, “It’ll help with the wet heat.”

I looked to the heavens, hidden by the porch ceiling. “God, thank you for sending me this woman.”

Meanwhile, Cletus blinked once as though startled, but then a slow grin spread over his typically solemn features.

Beau, holding his hand over his heart, took the bait. “Sienna, I would be honored to taste your thighs and breasts.”

I shot him a warning glare. “Don’t you say that to her.” But I couldn’t keep my face straight either.

“What? What did I say?” Beau tried to sound and look affronted. “I was talking about her chicken. Obviously.”

Cletus’s grin had grown into an immense smile as his gaze moved over my woman with plain appreciation. “Well played, Ms. Diaz. Well played.”

Review

‘Like recognizes like, and what I had on my hands here was a professional charmer.’

Penny Reid has delivered several things in her books, examples of devote friendship, extreme passion, action, hilarious situations and with Grin & Beard It we get the perfect example of a slow burn relationship. Have you ever lit a match and just to see how long you could hold it till it scorched your skin, just watched the molten red get closer and closer to you. It’s mesmerizing  exactly how reading this book felt.

‘This woman . . . holy hell. I needed a beer. Or maybe seven.’

Sienna is a famous movie star and Jethro is a reformed car thief and current park ranger who has never heard of her. She doesn’t believe that marriage can work and he wants the forever kind of relationship. They could not be more different and yet they could not somehow be more perfect for one another. Jethro is all kinds of strong and quiet mountain man, he choses his words carefully and is fiercely protective. Jethro made many a bad decision in his life but has spent the past five years getting on the right path in life and that includes being celibate. He knows that Sienna can’t be for him, she will be moving on shortly and that is not what he wants, he cannot help himself become imbedded in her everyday life while filming on his mountain.

‘She felt like the beginning of something new: a reward, a gift for five years of levelheaded decisions.’

Sienna is famous but completely not what you expect. She wants a break from that lifestyle and when she finds help from a man who is blissfully unaware who she is she is more than happy to keep letting him believe she is “Sarah.” I have a weakness for strong female leads and Sienna fit that to a T. Confident in her curvy body in an industry that strives for women to reach and unreachable weight. She doesn’t change just to make others happy. She is confident, funny and completely loveable.

‘Our first kiss had set the tone for everything that came after: frustration, desperation, passion.’

If you have been reading reviews than I am sure you have seen the phrase slow burn more than once and that is because that is exactly what this is. Grin & Beard It is not a faced paced plot driven book but instead it is one that focuses on the building the characters and having you fall in love with each of them. A character study in it’s purest form, watching the different layers of Sienna and Jethro was just plain delightful.

‘I don’t know if it was the doughnut – food of gods – or the sexy man above me but I was already hovering on the edge of my orgasm.’

Typically I go not enjoy what  I call “Famous people” books but Grin & Beard It’s saving grace is that Hollywood is not romanticized nor is it made to be the devil it just is what it is. Since the book mainly takes place in Tennessee it had a completely different feel than many other books involving famous people. But I will say that Sienna’s fame is a major plot line but was handled in a way that felt real and not forced. Despite having a theme I don’t often enjoy I loved this story and that in itself says wonders about the power of Penny’s writing.

“Can we make out? What will it take for you to put your hand up my skirt? I’ll make you a cake if you touch my boob.”

Everything you expect in a Penny Reid book is present in this one, tons of hilarious moments, a couple you envy and strive to be like, a cast of characters that have you extremely excited for the next in the series and of course her ever present flawless writing. I loved it all and cannot wait for more.

It didn’t take long for Nic

DeLuca and Anna Martin to fall in love. The mafia boss and innocent nanny may

seem like an odd match, but their devotion to each other is absolute.

When Anna is taken by a rival

family, Nic will go to any lengths to rescue her—and ensure nobody touches

what’s his ever again.

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.”

Exclusive Interview with Sarina Bowen

Sarina Bowen has the first book, Bittersweet, in a new series releasing June 14th! We were lucky enough to get the chance to ask her a few questions!

INTERVIEW WITH SARINA 

1. How was writing Bittersweet different than other series for you?

Well, I was really conscious of all the things I’ve learned about starting a series! So I took my time to build a rich world where readers would want to linger. And now I want to linger there, too. 🙂

2. Who has been your favorite male character to write so far and why?

My favorite hero is always the one I’m currently working on. Unless we’re having a tiff, and then it’s more like love/hate that day.

3. What is your favorite part of the writing process?

Finishing. Kidding! The best part is when you realize which scene will be the emotional crux of the story. That moment is pure goal.

4. What is your least favorite part of the writing process?

The final final final revision. The book and I usually need a break from each other by then.

5. Have you always wanted to be a writer?

Yes. Well, since the 3rd grade.

6. What made you decide to publish your first book?

In ye olden days you didn’t just decide. You prostrated yourself to all the gatekeepers until one said yes. Years on that treadmill were good for me, though. I’m much more confident than if I could have simply hit “publish” the first time I ever wrote a novel.

7. What book are you most excited to read in 2016?

Elle Kennedy’s The Goal. I haven’t even bugged her about it yet. I’ve been very patient.

8. What are 3 fun facts about you?

1. I make good cocktails. 2. Apple picking season really is my favorite time of year. I didn’t have to fake that for BITTERSWEET. 3. I started taking yoga only because I needed to understand yoga for Brooklyn Bruisers #2. But I’m still going! What do I win?

9. What is something you love most about being in the author/reader community?

When someone tells me my book made them cry, it’s the best thing ever!

Farmers make the earth move.

The last person Griffin Shipley expects to find stuck in a ditch on his Vermont country road is his ex-hookup. Five years ago they’d shared a couple of steamy nights together. But that was a lifetime ago.

At twenty-seven, Griff is now the accidental patriarch of his family farm. Even his enormous shoulders feel the strain of supporting his mother, three siblings and a dotty grandfather. He doesn’t have time for the sorority girl who’s shown up expecting to buy his harvest at half price.

Vermont was never in Audrey Kidder’s travel plans. Neither was Griff Shipley. But she needs a second chance with the restaurant conglomerate employing her. Okay—a fifth chance. And no self-righteous lumbersexual farmer will stand in her way.

They’re adversaries. They want entirely different things from life. Too bad their sexual chemistry is as hot as Audrey’s top secret enchilada sauce, and then some.

Warning: Contains sexual situations, gourmet yumminess, a steamy outdoor shower and proof that farmers don’t mind getting dirty.
