00About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if “It’s Raining Men” starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing… enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

══ THE VIRGIN ROMANCE NOVELIST ══

VirginRNHer bosom heaved at an alarming rate as his rough hand found its way down to her soft, yet wiry briar patch…

Can you say briar patch in a romance novel? What about meat sword? That’s what it is…a meat sword, right, all meaty and sword like, slaying through the inner dungeons of a woman’s dark desires. What about breasts? Do bosoms really heave?

God, I have no idea what happens when private parts touch.

I’m a virgin trying to write a romance novel and can’t seem to write past a sex scene thanks to my lack of experience.

My two best friends encourage me to drop the pen for a while and gain some real life practice through multiple dating facets such as blind dates, online profiles, and random hookups.

But losing my virginity is proving to be tougher than expected…

Justice. Faith. Power.

The words I live my life by, the three keys to my success, the foundation I built my entire empire on and now Goldie holds them all in the palm of her hands.

She once was a Jett Girl, a piece of me, a safety net I grew to depend on.

But now she’s gone.

I fell for a girl I should have left alone. I let her consume my life, control my feelings and own every aspect of my being. I tried to keep her, to make her see what she was doing to me, to clue her in that breathing was impossible without her around.

This is the story of a desperate man who lost everything that ever mattered to him… my little one.

kis34-1 (4) kis34-1 (3) kis34-1 (2) kis34-1 (1)

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?

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.

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

6

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.

Excerpt

*unedited

 

Holding on tight against my chest, I fight

through the pain as the heated flames burn. Reaching the stairwell, I jet up

the stairs keeping balance as the building continues to tremble. Jumping for

the top of the stairs, I land on the platform. The boy cries out as fear exudes

from his face. Panic swarms my thoughts but I push them out. We are going to make it.

A loud explosion bellows from beneath us

and a fiery blast erupts. The blast blows me off balance sending me straight

into the wall. The boy slips from my grasp as I fly through the air slamming

into the wall. The impact knocks the wind out of me as the dizziness clogs my

head. Debris from the sixth floor crumbles onto the stairwell as the bannister

starts to break away from its hold. I search for the boy, noticing him on the

ground unconscious, still wrapped in my jacket.

Coughing profusely I hoist him back in my

arms, sealing the mask back on his face. The SCBA beeps again, notifying the

three-minute mark. Scanning for the hall window, a sliver of moonlight

illuminates the hallway.

Hosting us off the ground, one arm holds

the boy, while my other grabs hold of the radio. With a raspy voice, “Almost

there Cap.”

“The ladder is waiting for you guys. Step

on it!”

With careful steps, I make way to the window.

In an instant, the building rumbles around us. Flames from inside the apartment

melt the walls and bursts into the hallway. The boy yells out as I tighten my

grip around him.

Large amounts of debris falls behind us

and crashes into the ground, creating gaping holes in the floor. Violent

tremors shake the wooden frames as I struggle to keep balance. A shining light

blinds through the hall window as it blasts open with Carter peeking inside,

“Roman!”

The sound of the cracking floor creeps

around me and I look down to see it’s completely tearing apart. My heart beat

stops as I lay eyes on the child and then Carter. In a split, I rip the mask

off the boy and hoist him up, readying to toss him into Carter’s arms.

As the ground starts to disappear from

underneath me, I use all my strength to hurl the boy, tossing him into Carter’s

grasp. A smile curves along my lips as Carter catches him. And with the sight

of the boy safe, the floor gives way and crumbles beneath me.

 

The roaring plea of

Carter’s voice is the last sound I hear as I fall into oblivion.

7

I didn’t think one night could change the course of my entire life.

With his piercing green eyes, Calder Atwood sees straight through my defenses. He’s more than sexy; he’s a werewolf. Though he says he wants more than a one night stand, I can’t believe him. I learned long ago that men lie, and I vowed not to follow in my mother’s footsteps, pining away for a man who doesn’t know the meaning of the word fidelity. The only way I trust myself not to break that promise is to avoid Calder completely.

Eluding him becomes impossible when I’m thrust into a world of danger and darkness. Despite my resistance, Calder forces his way into my life and my resolve weakens with each day we’re together. After an attack leaves me on the edge of death, I find myself bound to him, body and soul.

Now, I can’t walk away, regardless of how badly I yearn to do just that.

Review

To say I was excited to get Calder and Ricki’s story would be a vast understatement. I have loved this whole series since I first read Bite Me but with the taste of Caulder and Ricki we got in One Little Bite I was hooked on the hot werewolf and the girl who dominated his thoughts.

At this point in the series we know that Ricki and her friends are all part of the prophecy and while once they all believed they were leading ordinary human lives it has become clear that each is destined for something more. Ricki is entrancing and kind. Smart and beautiful it is no secret why Caulder is attracted to her but from the first moment he met her he knew it was something more. As a werewolf he knows his mate when he meets her and after the one night they spent together, in One Little Bite, it is clear that no matter how much she pushes him away He. Will. Chase. Her.

 Caulder is everything you want in a sexy werewolf. He is supremely protective and loving and just the right amount of controlling when pushed. As beta of his pack he has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders and the last thing Ricki wants to be is one more responsibility. But trouble building within the Faction and danger is around every corner, Caulder has a lot going against him but he knows it will all be alright as long as Ricki is by his side.

 C.C. Wood does a phenomenal job at transporting you to a world with Vampires, Witches, Werewolves and more all the while making it feel like this is something that could happen to any everyday girl like me. Succulently sexy and full of the intense chemistry this is one book you won’t want to put down.

 I do want to say that I believe this could be read as a standalone (all the important relevant information is provided to you), but the series as a whole is fabulous and you would be missing out on getting to know an amazing cast of characters.  The closer we get to this series ending I almost start to get sad, I have overtime come to love and feel a closeness to these characters and while I want to see them get past all the danger and drama in their lives I will be sad to see the end.

He’s my art professor.

I’m his student.

With an electric connection and undeniable chemistry, I know it won’t be long until one of us cracks.

When the opportunity arises to pose naked for the entire art class, I can’t help the thrill of knowing he’ll be watching me.

While they all look past me with their eyes narrowed and concentrated, drawing only the lines and angles of my body, he sees right through me down to my vulnerability.

He sees more than just the physical aspects—he sees me.

That’s when I see the struggle in his features as he tries to stay in control.

How do we keep our distance when everything seems to be pulling us together?

What feels so right can only go wrong if we keep pushing the limits.

excerpt

Hudson

“Hey, stud man. We haven’t even been here an hour and you’ve already got the hot chicks flocking to you. I’m impressed.” Smirking, he ruffles the back of my new friend Caleb’s sandy-colored hair, his twinkling green eyes still locked on mine.

The cute, freckle-faced kid cranes his neck up to look at him with a big, goofy grin. “Well, I learned from the best of the best.”

“That you did, lil’ bro. That you most certainly did,” he repeats lowly, obviously referring to himself. The taunting smirk transforms into a full-blown, I-get-girls-to-drop-their-panties-at-will smile, and I subtly grab ahold of the chair in front of me, steadying myself from whatever craziness is happening inside of me while praying my tights are immune to his allure and stay up on my hips.

Okay, so maybe he’s a wee bit full of himself, but he did call me hot, so I’m willing to forgive a little cockiness.

It’s not until Mary says, “Crew, stop being an arrogant ass and properly introduce yourself to this nice girl. Her family owns the lodge,” that I realize I haven’t spoken a word or stopped staring at him since he walked in. God, I must look like a complete idiot.

Closing my jaw, which had evidently dropped open sometime during my gawking session, I force out the improper thoughts swirling in my head—a rarity for me—and turn on my best hostess face, extending my arm in his direction. “Hi, I’m Hudson Shavell.” Those are the only words I can manage, because when he takes my hand in his, all of the nerve endings in my fingers and my palm fly into hyperdrive, shooting a jolt of energy straight up my arm and throughout the rest of my body.

“Nice to meet ya, Hudson Shavell. I’m Crew Elliott, the arrogant ass for a son,” he jokes, his Southern drawl endearing, while holding onto my hand a few seconds longer than necessary. “I’m glad you got to meet the sweet son first, but don’t let that innocent face fool you; he’s more of a heartbreaker than I could ever dream of being.”

“Shut up, Crew!” Caleb exclaims, playfully punching his older brother in the ribs. “Don’t be cock-blocking me. Even if Hudson here isn’t digging my chili, have you looked around and seen the rest of her sisters? They’re smokin’ too, man.”

Unable to hold back, I burst out laughing as Mary flicks her younger son on the ear and shakes her head in disbelief, mumbling something about having boys. Meanwhile, Crew is scanning the dining room, obviously searching out my other smokin’ sisters, which puts a damper on my short-lived amusement. I know at least one of them will be all over him before the night is over, and seeing how I’m going on a date with someone else, I can’t very well call dibs on him, or whatever my sisters usually do when they all see a cute guy they’re interested in.

Never before have I cared much to find out how this process works, but I’m guessing it’s not like food. I suppose licking his face real quick to mark him as mine for when I get back wouldn’t be appropriate.

“Hudson! Hey, Hudson, your date just got here! Doug’s got him cornered in the lobby,” Cheyenne calls out from behind me, emphasizing the word ‘date’ with the sugary-sweet voice she only uses when she wants something. And unfortunately, I know exactly what she wants right now.

I twist around at the waist, careful not to snarl my nose up at her, and tip my chin in acknowledgement. “Thanks, sis,” I bite out. “I’ll go save him.”

Turning back toward Mary, Crew, and Caleb, I twist the corners of my lips up in an apologetic smile. “Excuse me. It was a pleasure meeting you all, and I’m sure I’ll see you around quite a bit during your stay. If you need anything, please don’t hesitate to call. Our cell numbers are listed in the welcome packet in your cabin.”

Then, without introducing Cheyenne to the group, which I know she’s eagerly waiting for, I spin on my heel and hurry out to the lobby to rescue Beckham from the wrath of my dad’s inability to shut up, wondering why this day of all days Crew Elliott walked into the lodge. It’s almost like a sick joke from the gods. Finally, after hearing my boy-crazy sisters for years, never understanding what all the hype was about, I’m introduced to someone who turns my insides to a liquefied, chaotic mess at the mere sight of him, only to be yanked away and put in the arms of someone else.

Awesome-sauce.

what people are saying

5 stars of beauty, touching every single emotion in the eloquent way only Noelle can.

~ S.E. Hall, NYT Bestselling Author

Poignant and timely, the subject matter of Erin Noelle’s Spark is both thought provoking and heart wrenching. 5 stars to a romance that is so much more than a simple love story.

-Carey Heywood, NYT & USA Today Bestselling Author

Noelle really shows her breadth as a writer in Spark––funny, sexy, sad, witty and poignant––all in exactly the right places. Set among the grandeur of the Colorado mountains and caught in the middle of legalized marijuana, ski bunnies and hipsters, Spark is not only a story about young love, but conviction, strength, and the meaning of family. A five-star, do-not-miss, full-of-feels new adult read!

~Rachel Blaufeld, Author of the Electric Tunnel series and Redemption Lane

Erin Noelle has a way of drawing you into a story and you just don’t want to leave. You can smell the air, touch the characters and become one with her words. Granted, Erin has a way of making your chest clench, find it necessary to scream and grab a tissue.

~Joanne Schwehm, Author

Bottom line is … Erin Noelle hit this one out of the park. She gives you EXACTLY what you want when you want it, like she was in my brain, piecing together the perfect new adult novel. Like she was like “I wonder how Ashley would feel about this” and then WHAM she gives it to me … you will love, you will cry, you will be broken, you will be empathetic, you will be ANGRY AS FAAAK, and you will be put back together in a way that only Erin can …

FIVE EPIC STARS UP IN SMOKE!!!!!!!!!!!

~Ashley Suzanne, Author
