Happily ever after.
That was what we were supposed to have.
Pudding cups, sandy toes and a lifetime of making each and every one of our dreams come true—that is the future I’d promised her.
I could see it in my dreams, hold it in my hands, but then I watched as all of our hopes and wishes suddenly slipped through my fingers like sand.

They say love can overcome any obstacle. But can it survive death?

Excerpt
“You’d really forgo everything and marry me tomorrow?”
Rolling over, he pinned me beneath him, encapsulating me between his strong muscular arms. My fingers instinctively traveled up over the intricate black ink of his arm.
“In a heartbeat. But you’re right. Our mothers would kill us if we didn’t let them witness this day. So, we will be good, and I’ll give you the wedding you’ve always dreamed of. And then, my bride to be, you and I will spend the next three weeks in . . . oh, right. I can’t tell you. It’s a surprise.”
I shook my head, letting out a puff of air in frustration. “Jerk.”
“Such language.” He laughed.
“Why does it have to be a surprise, Jude?” I whined, wrapping my arms around him. “Ireland was enough of a surprise for an entire lifetime. You don’t have to keep trying to dazzle me,” I said.
His head lowered, and I felt the wisp of his lips touch my cheek.
“Actually I do,” he whispered. “Every day for the rest of our lives, I’m going to do just that. You deserve to be dazzled, Lailah.”

Not Your Hero by Anna Brooks Release Blitz
Sam Monroe is cynical and trusts no one. He lives his life just the way he likes it – no promises and no regrets. All he wants is a willing woman a couple times a week to give him a few moments where there are no painful memories.
Courtney Gallagher is a single mom doing her best at raising her young son. She longs to feel wanted again, to receive the touch of a loving man. Even though her heart is fragile, she has hope there’s someone out there for her and her son.
Courtney rents a place from Sam, and their relationship becomes complicated. Sam is willing to let her in his bed, but not his heart. Courtney feels a pull towards Sam, but learns that trust is definitely something to be earned.
Can she forgive his mistakes? Does he want to be forgiven?
“Is it really gonna be like this?”
“Like what?”
I sit in my chair, back to him, and start twirling pasta. His arms cage me in from behind and his stubble tickles my cheek. “You acting pissed at me. I told you. I fucking told you that I can’t do more. I told you to make me leave, but you didn’t.”
He runs his nose behind my ear, and I clench the arms of the chair, forcing myself to stay still. I don’t want him to see how affected I am. “But you didn’t. So we fucked, Courtney. And we could do it again. In fact, I jack off thinking about doing it again. You know where I live if you want a repeat.”

ABOUT The Quantum Trilogy:
New York Times bestselling author Marie Force writing as M.S. Force…
He’s a sexual dominant. She’s sworn off sex. There’s no way they can make a relationship work—or can they?
After surviving a traumatic event at age fifteen and the ensuing estrangement from her family, Natalie Bryant has worked for years to reinvent herself into the woman she is today—a happy teacher fresh out of college and enjoying her first winter in New York City with her faithful dog, Fluff, by her side. Natalie isn’t expecting her life to change completely during a routine stroll through Greenwich Village on a blustery January day. But when Fluff breaks loose and charges into a park, Natalie gives chase and crashes into her destiny. Only after Fluff bites and draws blood from the man who accidentally knocked Natalie down does she realize Fluff has bitten the biggest movie star in the world.
He has no business being enthralled by the gorgeous, young, innocent teacher…
Natalie captivates Flynn Godfrey from the first moment their eyes meet while she is lying on the ground and he’s fighting off her ferocious little beast of a dog. The only thing Flynn knows for certain is if he lets Natalie get away, he’ll regret it for the rest of his life. After only a short time in her presence, Flynn is prepared to change who he is to be what she needs. He knows he’s in big trouble when she says she won’t sleep with him and he doesn’t care if it means he gets to keep her in his life. But can he turn his back on the lifestyle that has defined him? Can he deny the desires that drive him to give Natalie the introduction to love and romance she so deserves? And most of all, can he keep his truth hidden from her long enough to have forever with her?
Join Flynn and Natalie as their story unfolds in three full-length books released three weeks in a row: VIRTUOUS, VALOROUS and VICTORIOUS. From New York to Los Angeles, from Hollywood to Las Vegas, Flynn and Natalie’s whirlwind love affair has it all—romance, passion, steamy hot sex, relentless paparazzi and a murder that could be their undoing.
If you hate dirty-talking heroes who put it all on the line for the women they love, who leave no desire unfulfilled, who will do anything it takes to protect what’s theirs…If elements of BDSM make you queasy, if smoking hot sex isn’t your thing, if cliffhangers make you rage, if you hate first-person points of view from the heroine AND the hero… this trilogy is NOT for you! You’ve been warned…

And now, a little something from VALOROUS….
She’s so nervous her hands are shaking as she takes the wheel in the silver Mercedes sedan she admired when we were here for the Globes. I told her it was hers to use whenever we were in LA, and that’s when she said she didn’t know how to drive.
My poor sweet Natalie missed so many of the rites of passage the rest of us take for granted, and I want to make it all up to her, starting with teaching her how to drive.
“What if I hit something or damage the car? You love your cars.”
From the passenger seat, I take hold of her hand and wait for her to look at me. “I don’t love my cars anywhere near as much as I love you.”
Raising a brow, she says, “Even the Bugatti?”
She’s bringing out the big guns. I swallow hard. “Even the Bugatti.”
She loses it laughing. “You lie. You love that car more than anything.”
“No, sweetheart, I love you more than anything. The cars are things. They can all be replaced. And they’re insured. Fully insured.”
“If you’re sure.”
“I’m positive. I want you to know how much fun it is to drive and to be able to go anywhere you want whenever you want.”
We’re in the Quantum parking lot, where there’s plenty of extra room to practice the basics. I go over all the features of the car and tell her where everything is. “Driving is all about being predictable. Whatever you do, it should be what the guy behind you expects you to do. Does that make sense? In other words, you don’t stop at a green light or in the middle of a turn or anything that’s going to get you hit from behind.”
“Okay… What else?”
“Go slow at first, until you get a feel for the car and what it’s capable of.”
“I can’t believe the first car I’m ever going to drive is a Mercedes.”
“Mine was a Jaguar. My dad was a freaking mess the whole time. I accused him of being far more concerned about the car than he was about me. He didn’t deny it.”
The story makes her laugh, as I hoped it would.
“Let’s give it a whirl.” I point to the key, and she turns it, starting the car. “Now put it in Drive.”
“You’re sure about this?”
“Positive. Take me for a ride, sweetheart.” I add a wink and a smile to remind her of the last time I said those words to her, and she blushes adorably.

Going the Distance (book 2) releases May 19, 2015
ON THE ROPES:
A murderer’s child…A foster child…A troubled teen…Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has never had an easy life. Being shuffled from one foster home to another after his father murdered his mother, he found himself in and out of trouble with the law. Never giving a damn about himself, let alone anyone else, his life was spiraling out of control; fast. Until one man and one sport changed everything.
Frankie Carbone taught Saint how to handle his anger and rejection; by fighting it out in the ring. On his way to stardom, Saint finds himself pushed into the spotlight and into the arms of more women than he can ever imagine; he’s completely content with one night stands and random sex.
Then Salem Harris comes walking into his life and changes his game plan. Saint finds himself wanting Salem in all the ways that scare him. She is off limits; taken. But that doesn’t stop Saint from going after what he wants, and he wants her.
Frankie showed Saint a new way of life with Boxing, but will Salem give him the one thing he’s never known – love? Will Saint find himself fighting for the one thing he thinks he doesn’t deserve or will Salem end up breaking his heart? Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has had to fight for every good thing he’s gotten in his life.
GOING THE DISTANCE:
Life has been a roller coaster for Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega. From surviving a hellish childhood, to reuniting with his lost brother, only to hit the struggle of helping him battle his drug addiction. Boxing saved Gabriel’s life, and just when his career hits the fast track, he finally finds love with Salem; at least for a short time. Social differences, obligations, and misguided good intentions tore Gabriel and Salem apart before they could ever really get started. Will Gabriel be able to save his brother from the whirlpool of addiction that threatens to drag him under? Is Salem capable of breaking away from the ropes that bind her to doing what’s expected rather than what and whom she desires? Can Gabriel convince Salem that their mutual feelings are worth fighting for, and that together, they will be able to go the distance?

Make Me by Tamara Mataya Review
4 Smooches!
Synopsis
Investigative journalist Sloane Winters has one goal: take down The Underground, the exclusive BDSM club that’s swallowed her twin. Her exposé will show her sister the truth—there’s no such thing as harmless fun in BDSM.
Darko Aralica immediately recognizes Sloane as a submissive, but her judgmental arrogance about kink is an intriguing challenge. When she begs him to teach her submission, he accepts. He’ll prove Sloane’s rightful place is at The Underground—or tied to his bed.
Darko begins Sloane’s training, guiding her through sensual scenes that strip away her preconceptions about the lifestyle – and herself. Sloane thought she wanted the truth.
But the truth doesn’t always set you free.
Welcome to The Underground.
You can’t buy your way in. You can’t screw your way in. But you might earn your chance to enter the inner circle and submit to Doms who know your desires better than you do. If you can take it.
There can only be one winner of the Submission Games. It probably won’t be you.
Get on your knees. (less)
Review
Right so if you can’t tell by the cover this is a BDSM book! Hmm ok so I wasn’t sure about this one – fifty shades was the first BDSM I read and obviously bloody loved it like everyone else! I tried to get into other BDSM books but I couldn’t so I never finished them. So I was hesitant to read it at first.
Sloane Winters is the main heroine in this book and she is a determined one. She is hell bent on making a point – that point being ‘The underground world’ is disgusting, demoralizing, and just abusive and wrong – especially for her sweet troubled twin sister Tessa. Sloane is very persistent and quite judgmental at times which brings us to her job- a journalist, using this and the fact her and Tessa are identical twins, to her advantage as an in, to get a story while at the same time showing her sister how wrong her chosen lifestyle is.
“You want people to beat the fu@& out of you. Sounds sick to me.”
We then meet Darko – Yes that is his name. And he is as mysterious and sexy as that name of his. He is honest and loyal and did I mention hot? He and Sloane meet in the club that Sloane is planning to burn to the ground and expose it for the filth and danger she knows it to be. I loved Darko, I can’t explain it without giving too much away but I really did like him so much, he was sexy, an alpha of course with a bit of a sensitive side that you had to work on to get to obviously. Which brings me to Sloane. So Yeah, she pissed me off immensely like seriously annoyed me at times – and it wasn’t anything to do with Tamara’s writing. I’m not going to lie it was a lot to do with that she was a journalist- I have just realized lately how the characters in a book being a journalist bothers me – and especially the fact she was so indecisive when it came to the predicament she got herself into. Ok so maybe I love Darko and I am a bit biased and got a bit annoyed at her motives and thought she was a bit of a b*&^%.
“…Not with Mister f(*&^%$# Orgasm simmering in front of me in his chair. I can barely think straight with him so close and I’m not as vulnerable as my twin”
I have only read fifty shades, I did try to get into another series that was based around a BDSM relationship but s*&^ got real weird real quick and I couldn’t finish. Although for me this was different to what is expected of BDSM books – I think a lot of them can be about a wealthy man, introducing a woman to this lifestyle they have plenty of hot sex, a few problems here and there but I don’t think other BDSM books really delve into the lifestyle for everyone involved and not just that couple. Don’t get me wrong there was problems along the way but these characters had a lot of depth and layers to them and of course the chemistry and sex between these two was hot!
.
“Unable to be passive for a second, I grab her hips and f*&^ her from the bottom, tossing her up with my hips, pulling her down with my hands, relishing the sound of her a$$ slapping against me and the sharp gasp it brings from her gorgeous mouth as the head of my cock hits somewhere new and deep inside her.”
I wasn’t sure how I felt about this book to be honest. I got through it fairly quickly, I couldn’t put it down. I felt we needed more though so that can be a good thing or bad thing- depends how you look at it. This story was so many things, yes it was BDSM. It was the lifestyle – but it was the people in that lifestyle not just BDSM itself but the people that live that life and that was one of the most intriguing elements of this story. This was a journey of self discovery and self acceptance. I loved the twists and turns in this book, while there are some you can maybe guess along the way there are still some that deliver that shock factor and it’s done well. Tessa is a big presence during this whole book and I hope the next book in this series is Tessa’s story and will certainly be reading the next one in this series. As unsure as I felt about this book – it has been on my mind all week, so that has to be a good thing right?

Ashes to Sparks by Jeanine Binder Review
3.5 Smooches!
Synopsis
Book synopsis:
Ryan Jeffries is a firefighter – 33 year old, 6’5, red hair, green eyes. His 8 yr marriage he found was a sham – their 7 yr old caught in the middle of a nasty divorce, where his ex doesn’t want him to have any time with his daughter.
In the process of getting custody of his daughter, he finds himself interested in his daughter’s teacher – Lindsay Archer – who he thinks is married until a car accident shows him differently. All the feelings he kept saying he would never share with a woman again, based on the disaster of his marriage is coming back full-tilt with Lindsay. They become soul mates in a quick period of time.
Events that would ruin a couple hold them closer together – read to find out more.
Review
Ryan Jeffries is a handsome firefighter that is undergoing a difficult divorce. His ex wife has been dishonest and can’t seem to get her act together. One day he gets fed up with his ex wife’s inability to pick up their daughter. Even through his frustration, his daughters teacher, Mrs. Archer, catches his eye. Although he has sworn off relationships, the idea of dating his daughters teacher does cross his mind.
Mrs Archer, Lindsay, has a past and is found out after a bad car accident. An accident that is worked by Ryan’s EMS team. Their chemistry is instant and I loved how they fit together so well.
An event in the book takes place and it’s shocking and upsetting. The author may have her reasons for that issue to be brought up in her book, but I didn’t feel like it was necessary. That is my only setback for the book. Other than that, the writing was good and I enjoyed the story of Ryan, Lindsay, and Kristen. If you’re looking for a great Saturday afternoon read, I will definitely suggest this book! 3.5 smooches for Ashes to Sparks by Jeanine Binder.

When Fates Collide by Isabelle Richards Review
4 Smooches
Synopsis
Life can change in the blink of an eye. One moment, Lily Preston is trapped in a loveless marriage. In a split second she is free, but at what cost? Her mundane life is set into a free fall of tragedy and terror. Her husband maybe out of her life, but he left a storm of collateral damage behind and the burden is on Lily to sort it out.
Fate connects Lily with Gavin Edwards, a charmingly handsome British gentleman that has been drawn into her tangled circumstance. Gavin is everything Lily’s husband wasn’t and gives her hope that love really does exist. Gavin wants nothing more than to sweep Lily up and carry her off into the sunset, far away from the devastation left behind by her husband. Gavin has been the first breath of fresh air in her life, but she isn’t looking to be saved. She needs to clean up her husband’s mess and find a way to save herself in the process.
Does she throw caution to the wind and open her heart? Or listen to her head that tells her and go it alone until she’s found herself again?
Review
“The kiss was deliciously intense. So intense it bolted him right out the door. What have I done.”
When Fates Collide by Isabelle Richards is a suspenseful and exciting debut novel. Full of crime, suspense, heat this is a story that will keep you guessing and turning pages till the end. The book begins with Lily being taken to the police station with no idea as to what is going on. We soon me a sexy British man, Gavin and learn that his celebrity druggie or a wife and her philandering criminal of a husband have both been killed in a car accident. I expected the recent deaths of their spouses to turn me off some but the way Isabelle handled it and explained the relationships it did not bother me at all.
“It’s not you I doubt. It’s life.”
Forced into hiding together while the FBI tries to get all the details of the criminal life their spouses (especially her husband, Ash) straight, Gavin and Lily are forced to spend a lot of time together and soon they cannot deny that they not only thoroughly enjoy each other but are very much attracted to each other. But soon Gavin must return to London and despite not having a lot of attachments Lily insist on staying in Boston. Can distance plus a mob after her for the money her deceased husband owes be the end of Lily and Gavin before they really have a chance to start?
“Whoever said size doesn’t matter has clearly never experienced someone with an abundance of it.”
The suspenseful aspect of this book was the highlight for me. While I loved Gavin and Lily (especially Gavin OH BOY do I love a sexy Brit) I was completely drawn into the tangled web of deceit that Ash left in his passing and I felt deeply for Lily as she tired to untangle it all and finally for the first time in her adult life assert her independence. While at a few times I got frustrated with Lily for pushing Gavin away when she clearly needed to lean on him and allow him to be there for her, I cold not really fault her for this. She had not only lost the husband she was married to but in all reality from never truly with she was left with so many dark and devastating secrets and debts. I cannot say in her place I wouldn’t be hesitant to go into something new either.
“One day, I hope to break down your guard and see you build some trust. In me. In the world.”
Gavin’s passion and Lily’s quick wit make this a book you won’t want to miss. The second half of the book was so fast paced and intense I could not put it down and after all was set and done I am very excited to continue to series.

I am not hurt.
I don’t need a second chance with him, or a life I thought I had.
While he was out forgetting me to become a movie star, I was building a career out of nothing. A career as a paparazzi, but a career. For a foster kid who bounced around every home in Los Angeles, that wasn’t easy.
This camera is all I have.
He’s nothing to me. Every time I take his picture and sell it, I remind myself that I did it all without him or his approval, his cinnamon smell or his clear green eyes. He lights up the screen like a celestial body, but he’s nothing but a paycheck to me.
He can throw my camera off a balcony, and nothing has to change. We can stay king and queen of the same city, and different worlds.
Except this is Hollywood, and here, anything can happen.
About the Author
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.
