Synopsis

She’s playing hard to get… to win the MMA fighter of her ultimate fantasies in a sultry new novel from New York Times bestselling author Lori Foster…

Vanity Baker loves a good, clean match, but she’s not above playing a little dirty. She’s wanted Stack “The Wolf” Hannigan from day one. Seems as though the best way to corral the famously commitment-phobic fighter is to insist on keeping it casual. And her plan works—deliciously well—until Stack’s past steps out of the shadows.

Stack learned early to stay free of attachments. But with sexy, forthright Vanity, he’s the one always left wanting more. Then his troublemaking family comes back into the picture, threatening everything Stack cares about—Vanity included. Suddenly he realizes they’re much more than friends with benefits. He’s ready to go to the mat for her…but will it be in time to protect the woman who’s tamed him for good?

Review

“He was so much bigger than her in every way, he made her feel tiny and feminine and fragile.”

Sports themed romance novels, especially fighter books, is one of my favorite sub-genres so this is a series that I have been very excited for. Tough Love is the story of confident and humble Vanity and the sexy but skittish to relationships fighter Stack. After an agreement to have one hot night together following Stack accompanying Vanity to her best friend’s wedding leaves Vanity not only deeply engrained into the drama that is Stack’s life and family, she finds there is no where else she wants to be. But the question is how long will Stack want her around and so involved in his life?

“She went out of her way to play it off, to deny it by her attitude and actions, but she wanted him. Him, specifically. What a turn on.”

 From the moment the story starts you can tell these two are going to be hot and heavy for each other and in that they do not disappoint, their chemistry is undeniable and their need insatiable.  But Vanity’s desire to be more than a casual hookup soon leaves her making questionable decisions, even if she has the best of intentions, and the trust that is so important to Stack is tested.

Vanity is giving and kind and always looking for a way to help. While sometimes ingraining herself in problems that are not hers she is always trying to make the situation better and for that I loved her. I found her to be earnest and sweet. Stack is sexy and reserved. Carefully choosing his words he loves those he cares for unmistakably and his closeness to his family only makes him more attractive.

“Soon, hopefully, Stack would more than like her. She wanted his love. She wanted to be a part of his wonderful family. And she wanted Stack Hannigan for forever.”

Tough Love has easily become my favorite book in the Ultimate Series and that is fully due to the beauty that is Vanity Baker. She is perfection and flawed and the perfect balance to a sexy, protective and tough fighter. Fans of HOT fighters, alpha men and romantic suspense will not want to miss this one!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

CD Reiss

11

CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

From the New York Times bestselling author of Stepbrother Dearest, comes a new forbidden STANDALONE romance.

What happens when the one you want is the only one you can’t have?

My name is Sevin.

Homeschooled and sheltered by my ultra-religious family, I was always taught that lust was a sin.

Elle was the girl who’d been carefully chosen for me.

After a long-distance courtship, I’d be moving into her family’s guesthouse so that we could get to know each other in the months before the wedding.

Boundaries were set: no inappropriate touching, no kissing, no sex before marriage.

I’d accepted those rules and my fate.

Until I met the one I wanted to sin with.

That was when restraint became a problem…especially since the one wasn’t Elle.

It was her sister, Evangeline.

You know what they say about best laid plans.

My name is Sevin, and I have sinned.

Told in alternating points of view, Sins of Sevin is a full-length standalone novel. Contains graphic sexual content and harsh language. Only appropriate for adult readers age 18+.

Review

I’m going to regret this.”

Twenty-four year old Felicity Harper, a hardworking young woman used to paying her own way, is duped into attending her first ever Sugar Baby party with her roommates, cousins Cleo and Mark. Cleo and Mark are confirmed Sugar Babies, meaning they have sexual relationships with wealthy people and in exchange these wealthy people “take care” of them by paying their bills or giving them expensive gifts. Felicity makes no judgments on Cleo and Mark’s lifestyle, but she’s not so sure it’s for her. In the midst of a bit of a dry spell, she is, however, curious about all the wild sex her roommates are having…

I had died, and he was my own personal angel, fucking me right into heaven.”

For a second, Felicity thinks it might be fun to explore her wild side, but with the reality of the party happening around her, she decides that it’s just not for her. She disappears into the house where the party is being held and stumbles into a room housing a beautiful piano. She begins to play, and unbeknownst to her, she has a private audience. Felicity and Theodore Darcy meet for the first time.

Theodore Darcy is nothing. I’m everything.”

Billionaire Theo Darcy is a renowned film director, writer and producer, and the CEO of famed Hollywood heavyweight entertainment conglomerate, Darcy Entertainment. It is his home that the party is being held in, although it is his brother, Arty, who is the host. Theo is not pleased about the party, he doesn’t the reason why Felicity is there, but he cannot help but be drawn to her, and he’s positively captivated by her natural musical abilities. He propositions her, and while Felicity is absolutely attracted to Theo – who wouldn’t be with his tousled black hair and piercing green eyes –she is not about to become his Sugar Baby, and she turns him. Her rejection only spurs Theo on, and he begins his pursuit of her.

Why do I have a feeling you’re going to be the one to walk away from me first?”

Theo proposes not only a physical relationship to Felicity, but also a professional one as he discovers that her talents are not only limited to music, but she is also obviously a trained dancer. Felicity succumbs to Theo’s pursuit, and the sex between them is scorching, the attraction is undeniable, and, even more concerning to Felicity, she finds she enjoys Theo’s company and spending time with him. She is clear, however, about this being a short-term situation and lays out her terms: no calls on Sundays, no other lovers and she will not be his employee nor will she be on his payroll. Theo readily accepts her terms, and their ‘relationship’ as it were begins.

I didn’t get her at all. She liked me. I liked her. What the hell were we doing?”

Their relationship was fraught with complications courtesy of Felicity. For Theo, it was all very straightforward. They belonged together and he was going to prove it to her. But what seemed to be wasn’t what actually was, and Theo would soon learn, as would Felicity, what her true issues were.

This is me, scars and all.”

I went into this book, after only reading the blurb, expecting a straightforward billionaire/ broken girl romance. I could not have been more wrong. I don’t dare say another word, because truly, this book needs to be read without any idea or preconception to get the full experience. That is what I did, and let me tell you, I was absolutely floored.

lllll

This book was bursting with some serious WTH moments. It was well written, it was sexy, and it did something for me that just frankly doesn’t happen often – it took me totally by surprise. This one gets 4.5 Beautiful Baby Smooches from me!

I’m supposed to be getting the dirt on Bryson, but truth of the matter is, I think I’m falling for the scumbag. He did kill someone to protect me, but he’s the reason he had to. Sigh. I don’t know what to think a

Blurb:

A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.

When you’re a defense attorney in Washington, DC, you see firsthand how hard life can be, and that sometimes the only way to survive is to be harder. I, Jake Becker, have a reputation for being cold, callous, and intimidating—and that suits me just fine. In fact, it’s necessary when I’m breaking down a witness on the stand.

Complications don’t work for me—I’m a “need-to-know” type of man. If you’re my client, tell me the basic facts. If you’re my date, stick to what will turn you on. I’m not a therapist or Prince Charming—and I don’t pretend to be.

Then Chelsea McQuaid and her six orphaned nieces and nephews came along and complicated the ever-loving hell out of my life. Now I’m going to Mommy & Me classes, One Direction concerts, the emergency room, and arguing cases in the principal’s office.

Chelsea’s too sweet, too innocent, and too gorgeous for her own good. She tries to be tough, but she’s not. She needs someone to help her, defend her…and the kids.

And that — that, I know how to do.

Exclusive Interview With Emma Chase

  1. As a mom did any of the antics with kids come from personal experience with your children?

Yes. Pretty much all of them in some shape or form. Even though some of the scenes that played out in the book weren’t from actual experiences with my own kids, they were still inspired by the feelings – the love, the laughter, the frustration, the joy – from real life events.

  1. How do you balance time to read with writing and being a mom?

It’s still a work in progress. Some days I’m able to hit my word count early then put the laptop away – and I feel very accomplished and organized on those days. But there are just as many when I’m writing in between time with the kids – get them fed and off to school, then write, talk and hang out with them when they get home, then write, help them with homework and have dinner, then write…

It’s not an exact science, but I’m very lucky that my kids are old enough to understand when I have to work. And they think my being an author is pretty cool – so that helps too.

  1. How much research did you have to do for writing lawyers? Was it easier or more difficult than previous books?

More research definitely went into this series than the Tangled Series. In Tangled, once I understood what investment banking was and Drew laid that out for the reader, there wasn’t much research needed afterwards.

 But in the Legal Briefs Series – particularly in Sustained and Appealed – some of the action takes place in court and revolves around their positions as attorneys. The way I handled it was I wrote the scenes as I thought they would be in real life and then I fact checked and revised to make it accurate. I was also lucky to be able to email with an actual attorney who practices in Washington DC – his guidance was invaluable.

  1. What has been your favorite male character to write up until now?

Up until this point, Drew Evans was my end-all be-all – because there’s isn’t anything he won’t say or think. He has no boundaries and that’s incredibly fun to write.

But…

Jake Becker is now firmly tied with Drew (maaaybe even edged ahead of him) as my favorite. I love Jake’s sense of humor – dry, scathing, hilarious – and he has this natural nurturing instinct that he doesn’t even realize. There’s a depth to him that’s really fascinating – he’s this tough-guy protector, but still so gentle with Chelsea and the kids when needed. Jake has the capacity to love passionately and deeply, he’s loyal and caring – such an easy character to fall in love with and is so very interesting to write.  

  1. What are 3 fun facts about you?

When I read a book I read the last page first.

I grew up in the same hometown as Jon Bon Jovi.

I randomly break into song around the house (my singing voice is bad) and my darling daughter has sworn that one day she’s going to tape me and upload it to Snapchat.
