Perfect ass.

Perfect arms.

Perfect swagger.

They call Dash Wallace the Diamond King.

He’s the hottest commodity in baseball and in the bedroom.

When he runs the bases, every woman’s eyes are glued to his stunning body and a smile that puts the night lights to shame.

I’m no queen. I’m a regular girl with a regular job. I just watch him on TV and from the bleachers, season after season.

Girls like me grab a guy like that one in a million times.

My number just came up, and he is as spectacular in bed as he is on the field.

But there’s not a woman in the world who can distract Dash Wallace from the game. Not for a moment. Not even me.

Until the night I do. And everything changes.

Author: Brittainy C. Cherry

Genre: Romance

 Release Date: March 25, 2016

Blurb

There once was a boy, and I loved him.

Logan Francis Silverstone and I were complete opposites. I danced, and he stood still. He was quiet, while I ran my mouth. He struggled to find a smile, and I refused to frown.

The night I saw the darkness that truly lived inside of him, I couldn’t look away.

We were broken together, yet somehow whole. We were wrong together, but always right. We were the stars that burned across the night sky, searching for a wish, praying for better tomorrows.

Until the day I lost him. He threw us away with one hasty decision–a decision that changed us forever.

There once was a boy, and I loved him.

And for a few breaths, a few whispers, a few moments, I think he loved me, too.

Complete standalone.

Review

Goodness gracious, I thought that I really enjoyed the first book in The Elements Series, but this one was really freaking amazing and it blew the first book away.  You see, this series is my first time reading this author so I am kind of a newbie to her so I didn’t really know what to expect for this second book.  I know that that cover is gorgeous and smoking hot and that the title and blurb immediately drew me in and made me want to read.  I am so happy to report that the writing and the story were just as amazing as this cover.

‘His soul was set in flames, and he scorched anyone who stood too close.’

OK, so there is probably a huge reason why I loved this book even more than the first book in this series and that is because it is just so New Adult and I love me some new adult.  I mean seriously adore it and this one was loaded with all of that young and new adult type of angst.  I mean, it starts as a typical rich privileged girl meets poor damaged boy.  They become the best of friends.  They come together in the most beautiful of ways.  But then things really start to get going and I honestly could not guess what was going to happen next and I didn’t.  I was surprised, heart broken, and so throughly invested in these two sweet kids.

‘My greatest fucking High…

My most painful Lo…’

Anyway, I do not do spoilers so I will not share another word of this incredible story.  Just know it is epic.  It spans years of love, friendship, and family.  It was an incredibly emotional ride but I just wanna ride it again and again!

HOOK (Duplicity Duet #1)

Women loathed me without even knowing my name. Men coveted the very idea of me.

Escort. Call girl. Prostitute. Hooker. Whore.

I’d heard it all. Done it all.

Over the years I’d felt a lot of things about my occupation…but not regret–never regret. I had my reasons for doing what I did and nothing and no one had ever made me question them.

UNTIL MARCO VALENTI.

He’d changed me and I’d naively fed into the fairy tale.

But Marco wasn’t my Prince Charming.

He had secrets of his own.

Secrets that would eventually rip away everything I held dear.

BURN (Duplicity Duet #2)

Love is only a word until someone enters your life and gives it meaning…

“No”

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’d 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.

Malcolm Wallace lived for the adrenaline rush. If he wasn’t living life on the edge, he wasn’t living. He had no time for relationships, let alone love.

When one event changes Malcolm’s entire future, he must turn to the one person who makes him doubt his entire philosophy on life.

Paislie Pruitt.

She’s beautiful.

She’s strong.

She’s the one rush Malcolm never saw coming.

I pulled Black Jack to a stop as I looked out over the hill country. There was nothing like being back at home in Texas and on the ranch. No early morning strategizing meetings with Dalton. No pressure from the sponsors to be on my A game. Nothing to worry about at all.

Just nature.

EXCERPT:

“W-where are we going?” she asked as she glanced over her shoulder.

Opening the laundry room door, I pulled her in and pushed her against the wall.

“I need to feel you, Paislie … taste you.”

Each breath was forced as the rush grew bigger. I’d been waiting for so long for this moment.

My hand slid up her dress and moved softly along her thigh where I brushed my knuckles across the thin lace material. Son-of-a-bitch. My cock was throbbing I wanted her so badly.

My fingers pushed the material to the side as Paislie lifted her leg, allowing me better access.

I slipped two fingers in and moaned as my dick hardened painfully more. “Fucking hell. You’re soaking wet.”

Her head dropped back as she whispered, “Please. Malcolm, I’ve waited so long for you.”

My lips moved along her neck, placing soft kisses as I slowly moved my fingers in and out of her. Sliding another one in, I moved faster. “Yes,” she hissed as she pumped her hips. I didn’t want her coming yet. The first time she came, it was either going to be on my cock or my tongue.

Pulling my fingers from her, Paislie let out a whimper. I lifted her up and set her on the counter. It was going to kill my leg, but I needed to taste her.

“Lay back, Paislie. I want to taste you … now.”

Her eyes widened with delight as she smiled and laid back. I lifted her beautiful gown and moaned when I saw the garter and panties.

“Jesus, you’re perfect,” I moaned as I pushed her panties out of the way and licked up her pussy. Paislie gasped and grabbed onto my hair.

“Oh … dear … God,” she panted.

I’ve given plenty of women oral sex, but this was different. So very different. Paislie tasted sweet, addictive, like a drug. I instantly craved more as I licked and sucked her more. Her body quivered and I knew she was close. All I would need to do is concentrate on her clit and push my fingers in.

The knock on the door had us both freezing. Paislie lifted her head as we looked at one another. She shook her head and mouthed, Are you fucking kidding me?

REVIEW

“I found myself feeling something I’d never felt with a man before. Excitement.”

There hasn’t been a man in twenty-six-year-old Paislie Pruitt’s life who hasn’t walked away from her. Starting with her father who, after her mother’s death, dumped her off at an orphanage when she was nine. She doesn’t open her heart to men because she knows that, inevitably, she’ll just be left behind and hurt by them. A physical therapist, who once considered becoming a nun like Sister Elizabeth, the nun who raised her and is a mother-figure in her life, she instead numbs the pain of her loneliness with sex. Sure, she’s felt attraction to men before, but never anything more than that – until the day she bumped into Malcolm Wallace in Las Vegas.

“For the first time in a long time, I felt something.”

Malcolm Wallace buries the guilt of his first girlfriend, Casey’s, death by living his life on the edge. He doesn’t allow himself to feel anything beyond the adrenaline rush of a race or sex. He’ll won’t allow himself to love a woman. He lives and breathes his playboy, man-whore reputation with a revolving door of one-night-stands. He just doesn’t want anything more than sex from women. He hasn’t felt anything more for a woman since Casey – until the day he bumped into Paislie Pruitt in Las Vegas.

“I wasn’t sure if I should be thrilled beyond belief or scared shitless.”

Both Paislie and Malcolm are in uncharted territory with each other. Neither has ever felt what they feel when they’re with each other before, and they’re not even sure what it is that they’re feeling. They’re both confused and unsettled by these feelings. Malcolm is battling his guilt over feeling something for someone besides Casey, and Paislie is terrified to open herself up to more hurt and rejection from yet another man.

“I’d never be the same after this.”

Unable to fight they pull they both feel, though, they begin spending time together. Malcolm is purposely showing her she’s different than all the other women. Paislie opens up to Malcolm and tells him about her childhood. Both of them are so damaged by their pasts, and they each have baggage and demons to work through and deal with before they can move forward. The question is will they be able to do it together or will they tear each other apart in the process?

“Was this what I wanted? …racing around a track chasing after what? What in the hell was I running from?”

Malcolm and Paislie both make a lot of mistakes, they both stumble while trying to find their footing in this fragile relationship and break up, even though it’s not what either of them really wants. But when Malcolm is badly hurt with what could be a career-ending injury, it’s Paislie who comes to the rescue with a plan to get him back in racing form. But when the pain – of his injury and his demons –becomes difficult to work through, will Malcolm push her away or pull her close?

“…that right there was the biggest adrenaline rush I’ve ever experienced.”

This is the second book in Kelly Elliot’s Speed series, and I really liked it. These two really struggled with their feelings, and Elliot did a great job walking the readers through Malcolm and Paislie’s stops and starts. I really ached for these two, because when you get right to it, they’re both two lonely people who want more than what they’ve got, and they both truly love each other, they were just unsure HOW to love each other.

One thing Malcolm and Paislie had down was the physical side of their relationship – this book was very sexy! There were lots of sweet moments in this story, as well as a few gut-wrenching ones. It was well written, and I have to admit, I’m hoping one day Elliot tells Landon and Emme’s story!

Four soul-searching, speedy and sexy smooches for Kelly Elliot’s Adrenaline from me!

Prologue

I was a horrible person.

           Truly.

           But I had goals, and he didn’t fit into them.

I didn’t know how to take back the words I’d said. They filtered through my brain like a bad dream that I just couldn’t awaken from. Just when they started to slowly slip away, they resurfaced. Rooted so deeply in my psyche, there was really no place for them to hide.

           If only I’d known the ramifications of my actions. If only I’d known how my decisions would hurt me beyond repair.

           But at the time, I couldn’t let him halt my progress. I was so close . . .

           “Are you in love with me, Aria? Do you want to be with me?” Parker asked, and my heart completely stopped. I had waited so long to hear those words, for him to see me as more than a friend.

           “No. I don’t want to be with you,” I replied. Even as the words left my mouth, I knew they were a lie.

           I didn’t just love him. It was so much more than that. So much more than love. He was my rock, my friend. He was the lifeline that ran through me.

           At the time, I thought I had no choice . . . I thought he would be able to see that after everything I’d been through I needed to succeed. I needed to make up for the loss of my brother Owen. In the end, though, my decisions were always toxic.

           Toxic to him.

Toxic to Owen.

           Toxic to everyone.

“No, I don’t love you.”

Those were the last words he heard as he turned and walked away.

           My heart tightened in my chest as the words replayed over and over again that afternoon. A record skipping that I just couldn’t turn off.

Then the phone rang.

Three words were uttered.

Three words that changed my life.

The phone slipped from my trembling hand, and I dropped to the floor.

I couldn’t swallow. I couldn’t scream.

Cemented in place.

My shoulders curled in, and I clutched my stomach through dry heaves.

I’d lost my soul mate, and now I’d lost my future.

Everything I’d worked for crumbled, and it all no longer mattered.

Drop Dead Sexy by Katie Ashley Review

000

3 Smooches

a4 a4-5 a4-4

Synopsis

For Olivia Sullivan, love is more a four letter curse word than a sentiment. Growing up as the daughter of a small town mortician, guys didn’t warm to the fact there were dead people in her house. At thirty, taking over the family business and becoming the town Coroner helped to cement her undateable status. Of course her past sex history didn’t help matters either.

Attempt number one with her first love ended barely before it got started with a horrific latex allergy hospitalization. Attempt number two had him coming and then going with an undiagnosed heart condition. For the past three years, Olivia has closed up shop for fear of what might happen next in the bedroom.

After being forced to go single to her mother’s lingerie shower, Olivia stumbles into an out of town bar with one intention: find an able bodied stud to go home with to end her losing sex streak. Enter Holden Caulfield Mains aka Catcher, who earned his nickname not just from the book he was named for, but for the fact he was sure to catch the attention any woman who came within a five mile radius. Waking up after a night of the most mind blowing sex she could have ever imagined, a horrified Olivia runs away thinking she’s left Catcher behind.

When Olivia’s small town is wracked by its first murder, she never could have imagined her one night stand would reappear in the form of the GBI’s lead investigator. To her mortification, Catcher isn’t ready to let go of their sizzling chemistry, and he doesn’t understand the meaning of no. As things start to heat up between them, the body count starts to rise, and they’re led on a wild goose chase from back woods mountain Nudist Colonies to altercations with the Dixie Mafia. Can Olivia and Catcher survive to solve the murder while also not succumbing to their explosive passion?

Review

“There’s not a spark between us. There is a full-on raging inferno.”

I LOVE romantic comedy and I am a fan of Katie Ashley’s other books so I was very excited to get a chance to read this book. Unfortunately, for me this story fell a little flat and left me with a slight sour taste in my mouth. The premise is great but the execution had me wanting more and curious why the book took certain directions.

‘Can’t do this now. Talk 2 u later I furiously typed. Fine. But wear a skirt. I wanna finger-bang you on the road.’

First off I want to mention that the phrase “finger bang” just makes me shudder. I just don’t find it sexy or fun.

My main issue was that the humor was over the top juvenile for my opinion. What had the potential to be a light and fun love story about a female mortician and a sexy FBI agent working together to solve a strange crime, took turns involving (without giving anything away) situations that I personally found, for lack of a better word, icky. I did not initially like Catcher but I can admit that as the book progressed he grew on me.  However in the beginning of the book he came off as way too over the top and somewhat of an asshole. This made it hard to feel a connection between him and Olivia (who I very much did like.)

“Did you just get goosed in the ass by a dead guy?” “It’ not funny.” “Actually, it kind of is.”

Drop Dead Sexy is well written and is full of funny moments. I am 99% sure that my main issues with the book stem from a case of “it’s not you, it’s me.” The style of humor was just not one that I personally find very funny and the plot was just too out there. However if you enjoy humorous book that lean more towards a slapstick form of comedy I urge you to give this one a shot, it might just be your kind of book!

Excerpt

For one night, I wanted it. I wanted her secrets. I wanted to sink my fingers in and take for myself. She was the exact kind of contradiction I craved.

The push and pull.

But this time the pull was too great to ignore.

I traced my thumbs along the delicate slope of her neck. Dragged them across the soft, soft skin. Her pulse was racing with a violent beat. I forced her to look at me while my entire body ran hot.

“Tell me what you want, Red.” It slipped out in a rough murmur.

In the distance, thunder rolled. Those blue eyes flashed. Flashed with courage and fear.

Something about it made me shake.

Almost defiantly, she lifted her chin, and she reached up with her small hands and grasped me around the wrists.

“I want you to kiss me.”

Motherf*cker.

Leave it to Red to ask for the thing I didn’t want to give. Memories cut a path of panic through my consciousness. Reminding me of what I’d done. Of why I could never get too close.

Of where my loyalty truly lay.

Clenching my jaw, I gripped her tighter. My heart was giving its all to reject this. Screaming at me to wise up and to do it fast. To turn my back and walk away. No doubt, my feet had officially crossed into the forbidden zone. Out of bounds.

Red was trying to take me places I didn’t want to go.

On the inside, I struggled like a goddamned madman. Torn between lashing out like I’d done the last time she’d been tempting me with the need to sink inside her, to discover the countless secrets she had lying underneath, and gathering her up and letting her in on all of mine.

I was at an all-out war with my instincts. The f*cked-up thing was I didn’t even know what those were anymore.

Not when it came to her.

Wavering, I rocked forward in indecision then rocked back. Getting closer to those full red lips with each pass.

Her attention flitted over my face. They jumped from my eyes to my mouth and back again. She fisted my suit jacket.

“What do you want?” she demanded, turning the question on me. Her voice was a brazen, needy mix of the siren who had no issue with putting me in my place and the soft vulnerability that kept seeping through.

My tongue darted out and swept across my bottom lip.

Dying for a taste.

“F*ck it.”

Figured she was going to kill me, anyway.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

6

A.L. Jackson is the New York Times bestselling author of contemporary and new adult romance.

She first found a love for writing during her days as a young mother and college student.  She filled the journals she carried with short stories and poems used as an emotional outlet for the difficulties and joys she found in day-to-day life.

Years later, she shared a short story she’d been working on with her two closest friends and, with their encouragement, this story became her first full length novel. A.L. now spends her days writing in Southern Arizona where she lives with her husband and three children.
