Private Getaway by Anie Michaels Review
5 SMOOCHES
Synopsis
Lena never anticipated the man she fell in love with would betray her, but she found herself alone, in a hotel room, having walked away from her marriage with nothing but one hundred thousand dollars in debt and an affair that turned out to be a sham.
There was only one thing she could do.
Get away.
On the idyllic beaches of Hawaii she sought peace, reflection, and a new beginning.
But a new beginning meant new challenges and new relationships.
Would she ever grow to trust after everything she’d been through?
The only place she felt safe was her own Private Getaway.
**This is volume three of a multi-volume serial. Readers should not expect a resolution at the end of this publication. It is 28,000+ words. For mature readers only due to explicit sexual situations.
Review
“I’d wanted to stay in bed forever, sleep as long as the vodka would let me, and try desperately not to deal with the catastrophe I’d left behind.”
When we left off in Private Encounters a big ball was dropped and it looked like nothing would ever be right again. To say I was eager to get Private Getaway to see how this plays out for Lena and the man she thought she could trust is an understatement. As has become the par with this series, I was on the edge of my seat desperate to find out how all the pieces of this puzzle would wind together in order for Lena and Preston to get the HEA we are all rooting for.
“That’s the second time today you’ve said that today,” “What?” “That you love me.” “I’ve said it to you in my mind a million times.”
After everything that went down in Private Encounters Lena needs to get away and start over and Hawaii is as good as any place. Together with the help of a new female roommate and a male running partner she is starting to put her life back together again. But without the love she thought she had with Preston she isn’t sure where to go from here. But Preston is not giving up that easily, he is coming for her and he will use any advantage he can to get back in Lena’s good graces.
It was a hungry kind of kiss, the kind of kiss that was vocal. I could hear him kissing me, all the growls and groans. I didn’t need to worry about breathing because, somehow, the kiss was breathing for me.”
The Private Serials are quickly becoming the kind of series that has be abandoning whatever I am reading when they show up on my kindle. Well written and full of suspense, steamy sex and characters that work their way into your brain and refuse to leave, this is one series you won’t want to miss!

Check out our review
Trace Kogan will go to any length to protect those who need protecting. That is the business he is in; the business his father, Casper Kogan, started with Bryce Trexler more than thirty-five years ago. Trace spends day and night eliminating threats to clients, so when the danger hits too close to home, he won’t let anything come between him and the woman who desperately needs his help.
His fear… the physical reaction he has to Marissa may pose a bigger danger than the ghost that they find themselves up against.
Marissa Trexler has spent the last twelve months of her life in hiding, tucked away in one safe house after another for her own protection. The threat to her is real even if the reason is still unknown. Strangely, whoever is after her seems to find her no matter where she goes, leading her family to believe it’s an inside job.
So when the decision is made that Trace will provide personal protection, she can’t say no, even if being close to him adds another level of danger… and this one is to her heart.

When I’m Gone by Abbi Glines Release Blitz
We’re celebrating the release of WHEN I’M GONE by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author Abbi Glines!
Title: When I’m Gone (Rosemary Beach)
Author: Abbi Glines
Publisher: Atria Books (April 7, 2015)
From #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines comes the next new adult novel in the Rosemary Beach series, in which we meet Mase, a Texas heartthrob first introduced in Take a Chance who comes to Rosemary Beach to stir things up.
I had an urge to fix all her problems. Which was stupid. She was doing fine without me. But something about those big eyes…
Mase Colt-Manning has always preferred his humble life as a Texas rancher to his birthright as the son of a legendary rock star. In fact, he rarely visits his father’s rarefied world in Rosemary Beach, especially if it means bunking at his vile half-sister Nan’s house—until one visit leads to a chance encounter with a young, gorgeous house maid who awakens him with her off-key but spirited imitation of a country music star…
Reese Ellis finally has her freedom. After escaping a lifetime of abuse from her parents and classmates for an undiagnosed learning disorder, she seizes the opportunity to be a house maid to some of the richest families in Rosemary Beach. But her job is in jeopardy when she causes an accident at the home of her most important client, Nan Dillon. When a hot, half-naked stranger with a cowboy’s swagger comes to her rescue, she’s intrigued—then afraid once he shows his own interest. Reese has never met a trustworthy man in her life. Will Mase be any different?
About the Author:

Abbi Glines is a #1 New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal bestselling author of the Rosemary Beach, Sea Breeze, Vincent Boys, and Existence series. She has a new YA series coming out in the fall of 2015 titled The Field Party Series . She never cooks unless baking during the Christmas holiday counts. She believes in ghosts and has a habit of asking people if their house is haunted before she goes in it. She drinks afternoon tea because she wants to be British but alas she was born in Alabama. When asked how many books she has written she has to stop and count on her fingers. When she’s not locked away writing, she is reading, shopping (major shoe and purse addiction), sneaking off to the movies alone, and listening to the drama in her teenagers lives while making mental notes on the good stuff to use later. Don’t judge.
You can connect with Abbi online in several different ways. She uses social media to procrastinate.

Southern Vixens Book Obsessions
Fangirl Moments and My Two Cents
Exclusive Excerpt:
Diego approaches at last. Dead serious.
Christ, that’s a big man.
He’s next to me, standing so close I feel the heat of his body. His body. I don’t dare look directly at it or my head will turn into a big, red factory whistle with steam shooting out, like in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.
“Emilia Noble, this is Diego Valverde.” Jose’s accent slurs a little, the hard edges of the English words sticking together in the tropical heat. Funny to have such a formal introduction in such a leisurely setting. I picture us all wearing striped ties with our swimwear.
My heartbeat pulses in my throat, an invisible necklace with a throbbing pendant. I smile tentatively, craning my neck because he is almost a foot taller than I am. Don’t be intimidated.
I want to be as lucid as possible, considering at least sixty percent of my brainpower is devoted to not mounting him like an overzealous cowgirl. “Lia,” I say too loudly.
Me Lia. You Diego. I can has your biceps?
My hand goes out automatically. We both look down at it like it’s a curious urchin, coral nails like anemone. Finally he takes it. Between us for those few seconds it’s comfortable, warm, and strong. Our palms touch, and in a way we’re holding hands. Mano en mano.
And that’s it. We are officially People Who Know Each Other.
But it’s going downhill. His expression is irritated and distracted, like I’m inconveniencing him with my presence. When he finally, really looks me in the eyes, I’m startled by how loveless his gaze is, cool hostility sharpened by pale gray irises. Like the sky when you’ve stayed up until daybreak.
He’s covered in smooth, youthful skin, but his muscular system is a man’s, with a wide, toned chest and broad shoulders that slope down and then curve back up at the ends like a hockey player’s.
His skin glints. Flecks of quartz sand.
Good god. It’s all a bit much, so I pull my hand away. I have to think of something to say to this stud in case this is a lucid dream.
“How’s it going?” I manage. I’ve forgotten all my Spanish. Classic.
I’m hyper-aware of the tone of my voice, how my lips move over my teeth when I speak. I’m not wearing a spot of makeup; I wasn’t planning on running into a dreamboat-surfer Valverde. And makeup at the beach is bullshit, anyway.
“Pura vida,” he says without much life at all. …
He shifts his weight uncomfortably, looks into the distance, and runs his fingers through his grown-out surfer hair. One forearm is covered in black ink, a tattoo of moons or planets in orbit, looks like. I want to ask him about it, but I don’t. I’ve already looked for too long.
Barely nodding at us, he walks off toward the bathroom facilities without another word. I may have scared him off, but I can’t help but feel confused and hurt. Is that it?
Lessons in Pure Life Synopsis:
Freshly minted grad Emilia Noble arrives in Costa Rica to teach English in the tropical community of Pacifica. Its carefree, pura vida lifestyle is a welcome contrast to her dark and wintry origins. Tossing caution aside like an old winter coat, she plunges headfirst into an exotic cocktail of sensory pleasure.
Diego is a local whose surfer body and cool detachment make Lia buzz with a long-lost thrill. Fascinated by her new environment, she can’t help but wonder about the moody inner workings of the boy with triceps like Wolverine and a grimace to match.
Diego seems to have no problem ignoring Lia, though. Caught up in his family’s conflicted attitude toward foreigners, he notices her only when it’s convenient. But as Lia thrives in her new surroundings, Diego might just find reason enough to defy his embattled, insular father. When north and south are mixed together, the results are intoxicating.

Marked by Carisse Spiers Cover Reveal
Welcome to my fucking world. My
name is Kaston Cox and I’m a criminal’s worst nightmare. Most people run from
darkness, but I live in it, require it, and thrive in the night. Some call me a
monster, some a lover of evil, and others, the devil himself, but they’re all
wrong. I’m just a shadow in the dark. I speak for the innocent when no one else
will. Once I have marked you, you better beg for forgiveness, because your time
has run out…
Revenge is the ultimate wage for
evil. Some just can’t stomach to do it themselves. That’s where I come in. I am
the ultimate judge when called upon for justice. I will decide who lives and
who dies. Blood may be on my hands, but it’s not the blood of the innocent.
Remorse is nowhere to be found. I don’t give a shit if you understand. I can live
with the man I look at every day in the mirror. My soul was tainted the day I
was conceived. You think you know me? You have no fucking idea. I am who I am
because of what they did to her, and to him. They were my family. This was the
only form of restitution he believed in. I owed him everything. I took over the
empire he built. This is how I repay him. There was only one rule: never allow
emotions to form. Numb and heartless are the only two ways to live.
What I never included in the
plan…was her.
My name is Lux Larsen. My life is
as perfect as it can get. I’m a partier, a seductress when it comes to
something that I want, and the ultimate sexual con artist. I use my body to get
what I want and I’m not ashamed. Designer tags are what I’m after. I love sex.
I’m good at it. Fuck double standards. Guys can do it, well guess what, so can
I. I will never be caught back on the other side of the tracks for as long as I
live. I left that hellhole years ago. I’ll do anything to stay away. You can
call me a whore if you want, but I just look at it as I’ve decided to become a
player in a man’s game, and I’m a fucking pro at it. Love is for the weak
minded. Weak is something I’ll never be.
I never anticipated the predator
that would find me. I’m now his prey…but I’m not sure I can run.
The world likes to think that love
is only pure, only for those that do good, but what no one considers is when
bad has to be done to formulate a different type of good. Two of the most
random people can be a perfect match, being placed together like pieces to a
puzzle. Being in the wrong place at the right time can be terrifying and it can
also be exactly what is supposed to happen, because sometimes…love is born in
the dark.
“Here. Good play. I can’t say with that view it was the worse
time I’ve ever lost money.” He turns and walks away as they announce last
call over the speakers.
“Does that mean I get half? I’d say I earned it.”
I look at Makayla as she turns toward me and hangs her legs over the
side. “You think so?”
“I didn’t see you pulling your dick out as bait. My pussy was
the one on display so you could win.”
I move in front of her and grab her chin, closing in toward her. She
starts to close her eyes until I speak. “Let’s get one thing straight,
baby. I would have won whether your pussy was present or not, but since you
helped by sending him to the bathroom to take care of the hard-on you just
created, I’ll repay you in orgasms here in a few minutes. How does that sound?”
She grabs a handful of my shirt in her fist, pulling me closer.
“Damn, just take me already. I’ve never been so turned on in my
life.” She presses her lips to mine and the alcohol takes over, directing
all of my muscle movement. I grab her hips and pull her toward me as I roughly
kiss her back. She instantly wraps her legs around my waist. I grind her
against my now hardening cock. She grabs the waistband of my pants, no
longer concerned with where we are.
“Starting without me?”
I release her lips and look at Danyel standing next to the pool
table. It’s just now that I realize the bar is completely empty. “Where is
the rest of staff?”
“I sent them home and locked the doors. Since I’m the manager I
can do that. No one ever complains when being sent home early at closing. No
work for them and a good time for me after a long night. It’s a win/ win
situation.”
Makayla groans out, clearly frustrated and not wanting to share. I
nod for Danyel to come closer and look at Makayla, locking my eyes with hers.
“I’m your partner. You trust me in the field, right?” She nods, her
eyes flitting from my eyes to my mouth and back again. “Trust me now. Be open-minded.
Just because you try something new doesn’t mean you have a label. We’re all
straight. Danyel probably likes dick more than you do. Got me?”
She breathes deeply, clearly nervous, but nods lightly. “Yeah,
okay. I’ll try…for you.” I’m going to pretend I didn’t hear longing in
her voice and hope like hell I don’t regret this at work Monday.
I reach out and hook my index finger over Danyel’s waistband,
pulling her closer. I kiss her, starting things slow. She slides her tongue
inside my mouth, allowing each of our taste’s to mix, creating one of its own.
I stop and turn to Makayla, doing the same. She moans into my mouth before I
release her lips. “See. You taste her. You taste me. It’s no
different.” I continue to look at her. “Danyel. Come show her how
gentle you can be. I want to watch.”
I step back, allowing Danyel to take my place. I can see the
disappointment written all over her face, but she remains silent. Danyel
touches her knee and skims her fingertips up Makayla’s thigh, tracing the side
of her body until her hand is on the side of Makayla’s neck. “Relax,
Makayla, and I’ll reward you later.” Her shoulders immediately drop.
Danyel lowers her face and kisses Makayla, slowly at first, but then
you can tell the moment Danyel slides her tongue between Makayla’s lips,
because she completely lets go, and places her hands in Danyel’s auburn hair,
wanting more. My dick presses against my pants, wanting free, as I watch two
beautiful women experiencing each other for the first time. The room is hazed
from the alcohol, but that’s exactly where I need to be.
I walk up to Danyel’s backside, pressing my front against her. I
press my lips next to her ear as they continue to kiss. “Do to her as I do
to you. Are we clear?”
I found books when I was going through a hard time in life. They
became my means of escape when things got bad. I realized quickly how much I
loved to take a backseat to someone else’s life and watch the journey unfold.
That began my journey with books in November of 2012. I constantly had a book
open on my Kindle app. Never in a million years would I have imagined myself as
a writer, because I never thought I was creative enough. I’m living proof that
things will fall into place when they’re meant to be. People will make their
way into our lives when we don’t expect it, setting the path for what we are
meant to do. Never give up on people. Never stop taking a chance on others.
Someone took a chance on trusting me with her work when she didn’t know me from
a stranger on the street and gave me the opportunity of a lifetime as our
relationship progressed, which led me to editing and writing as well. This is
my dream I never knew I had. As soon as I sat down and gave writing a shot, it
was like the floodgates opened. Now, I am lost in a world of fiction in my
head, new characters constantly screaming for their stories to be told.
Continue to dream and to go for them. No one ever found happiness by sitting on
the sidelines. Sometimes we have to take risks and put ourselves out there.
Thank you for all of your support, and may there be many books to come. XOXO- C

Excerpt from READY FOR YOU:
We ordered a late-night pizza and spent some time going through my piles of drawings. It was something I’d never shared with anyone, but I shared it with her.
“These are really good,” she said.
“They’re all right.”
“Garrett, you should be doing this every day,” she urged.
“And what about you, Miss Accountant?” I countered.
“I’m not an accountant anymore.”
After we cleaned up, she made a call to Liv and asked if she could check on Sam. I didn’t hear the rest of the conversation because she ducked into the bathroom, but I did her say, “Shut up, Liv!” a few times, so I was sure Miss Prescott had an opinion about where Mia was spending her evening.
As she was finishing up her phone call, I padded into my bedroom and slipped into a pair of loose-fitting sweats. Mia had seen me naked many times over, but I figured dropping my pants in front of her wouldn’t give her a good impression of my intentions for the evening—not that I would mind if she offered.
I was just slipping a T-shirt over my head when she came in. She took in my change of clothes and looked down at her black dress.
“I don’t have anything to wear,” she said.
“I have a T-shirt you can change into.” I pulled open a drawer and handed her an old college T-shirt. Then, I sat down on the bed and waited to see what she would do.
Her eyes drifted down to the shirt and back to me. She took in my casual position on the bed, realizing I wasn’t making any attempts to vacate the room for her privacy. She hesitated a moment longer and then swiveled around in the direction of the bathroom.
I wasn’t sure if I was more relieved or bummed. I wasn’t positive I’d be able to handle watching her strip down bare in front of me right now, but seeing her flee at the thought of getting undressed in front of me still hurt.
Mia returned no less than two minutes later with her black dress tucked in her hands. She nervously stopped at the doorway and looked around as if she were unsure of how to proceed.
“Come here,” I murmured.
Her dress fell to the floor at the door, and she came to my side as I sat at the foot of the bed. Against my better judgment, my fingers reached out for her, curling around her bare leg and up her thigh.
Her breath caught, but she didn’t stop me.
“Garrett…” she started to say.
“Shh…just allow me this. Just for tonight. We’ll go back to being friends tomorrow, but tonight…just help me remember.”
I could see the split decision swirling in her steady gaze. I knew this decision would end me. I knew I’d most likely never recover from a second blow to the heart by Mia Emerson.
About READY FOR YOU:
A second chance at first love.
Eight years ago, Garrett Finnegan’s world shattered the day Mia vanished from his life. He’s been struggling to pick up the pieces ever since. Haunted by memories and ghosts of the past, he chooses a solitary existence rather than risk his heart again.
Mia Emerson has made one wrong decision after another but none worse than walking away from the boy who stole her heart so long ago. When her new life is turned upside down, she finds herself returning to her roots and the hometown she left behind. Maybe now she can find a way to heal from the devastating mistakes of her past.
When a chance encounter brings these former lovers together, passion reignites in a way neither is prepared for. Can Garrett move beyond his anger and find a way to forgive? Will Mia’s insecurities and fears cause her to once again flee the life she’s destined to live?
Garrett and Mia will soon discover that they must journey into the past to find their way home.

Blurb
Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins’ ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben’s the only man she’s ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn’t looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.
Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She’s his best friend’s little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he’s not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he’s always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible…but will it lead to a connection of the heart?
Excerpt
“C’mon. How have you been, really? What’s been going on with you?” he pushed. I frowned at him and he frowned right back. “Liz, please.”
I groaned in defeat. “All right, I suck.”
“Why do you suck?”
“So very many reasons.” I pushed my hair back from my face—no more hiding. “Pregnancy sucks. It’s natural, my ass. I finally stop throwing up, but I’m tired all the time. Giving up coffee was horrendous. None of my clothes fit right because of these stupid breasts, and they ache constantly. I have to pee like every thirty seconds, and then to top it off, I cry every time the Healthy Hound ad comes on. It’s ridiculous”
Little wrinkles appeared either side of his nose. “You cry at a dog food ad?”
“Yes. The puppies jump all over each other to get to their mother and it’s just so beautiful, with their cute little tails wagging and everything.”
He just stared at me.
“I know its psycho, Ben. Believe me, I’m well aware of this.”
“Hey, it’s fine.” He covered a smile with his hand. Too late, the bastard.
“You try dealing with all these hormones going apeshit. Crap. Apeshoot.”
“Apeshoot?”
“I’m trying not to swear,” I explained. “You want the first word our child comes out with to be something bad?”
“No. Gotcha.” The man was incredibly bad at hiding a grin. “No swearing.”

Synopsis
Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins’ ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben’s the only man she’s ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn’t looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.
Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She’s his best friend’s little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he’s not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he’s always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn’t always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible…but will it lead to a connection of the heart?
Review
“I’d been done with him. Finished. Kaput. My uterus apparently did not agree.”
Is there any better way to start off the final book in this series than with a surprise unplanned pregnancy amongst two flirty friends? I personally don’t think so. Anyone who, like me, has been a fan of these books from the beginning knows two things about Ben, first he is a mystery and guarded and two he does not want a relationship or a family. Well Ben, good luck with that!
“So I’d been knocked up by a rock star. Big Deal.”
We start this book finding out that Lizzy, Anne’s little sister (remember that detail because boy is it important) is the big PREGGO. Can you guess who the daddy is, yup BEN! Lizzy is a young college kid and being a mom at this age was definitely not on her radar. But two months after Ben finally gave into her advances and they shared ONE night that is exactly where she is.
“I’d happily stand and stare at Ben Nicholson for hours. Days. Weeks. One of those big hands ran over his short hair and I swear my sex wept in gratitude at the sight. I was out of control. If he fondled his beard I might faint.”
We quickly flash back 2 months to Lizzy’s sister Anne and Mal’s Vegas wedding. And this is where all the fun starts. How fitting is it that the series starts with a mistake in Vegas and ends their too. Ben and Lizzy were friends, texting friends, with Mal warning him off and their age difference it was decided that was all they ever would be. Until that wasn’t enough. Can these two recover from this and be friends again and co-parents to this baby that is arriving soon?
“The feeling of a man’s beard brushing against your private parts cannot be adequately explained in words.”
Ben Nicholson like’s his life as it is. He is the only member of the band able to take off on a whim or jam all night. He answers to no one and has no one holding him down. That is what he has always wanted and when he finds out that their is a baby on the way he does not handle it as well as we all would hope. Ben felt real to me. It would be lovely if all book boyfriends found out the girl was pregnant and immediately proposed and settled down. Lovely but boring. Ben is neither of those things, while he is honorable and would never leave Lizzy and the baby stranded he also is not ready to settle down like the others. He is confused and scared and while does everything financially he can to make their life good emotionally he isn’t there.
“This guy and me, we were doomed from the start.”
I am not gonna lie, Ben broke my heart for a lot of this book, but in reality looking back I think for the growth of the character that was necessary. My heart ached for Lizzy. She is 21 and alone. Her sister, while there for her, is off living a perfect life with the guy of her dreams and Lizzy is stuck behind trying to figure out where to go in life from here. She doesn’t want to inconvenience anyone and needs to prove to herself and others that she can do this. For most of her life Lizzy has been looked after by Anne and now it is her turn to be the one watching out for another’s well-being.
“No touching yourself, getting you off is my job now. You need me, call. Get to you as soon as I can, okay?”
Kylie Scott blends stories that pull on your heart strings with dynamic characters and wit so well written that you want to quote it all. It was impossible to put this book down and I am already gearing myself up for an entire series re-read. While I find that her men are some of my absolute favorite book boyfriends that have cause many a fight amongst my fellow readers as we all want to claim them as ours, it is her strong and relatable women who make her series an absolute must read. Kylie’s heroines are not perfect looking nor do they always do as expected of them, they are free thinkers and not afraid to speak up for themselves. We need more female characters like these in our books.
“You and Bean are mine, and I look after what’s mine.”
While I am sad that this series is over I find that I am anxious to see what new and exciting things Kylie has planned for us. I know without a doubt anything she writes will be amazing and myself and many like me will eagerly and anxiously be counting the days till we can discover a whole new crew of amazing characters.
