S & W Book Cover frontSynopsis:

Sometimes the best things in life come from the unexpected. So if you lower your expectations, then you’ll never be disappointed. Sound cheesy? It is, but it’s also true. Clichés come from a grain of truth…like a man with a Porsche is compensating for something, or once a cheater always a cheater—you get the idea. Sorry, I digress. I’m supposed to be telling you what this book is about.

I’m Megan Walker, a lawyer at one of the hottest boutique law firms in Atlanta. I’m on the fast track to making partner and have my entire life planned out…or I did.

We all know how that goes, right? Best laid plans and all that.

Life just threw me a couple curveballs, so I’ve set out to take things into my own hands. By throwing caution to the wind and getting out of my A-type personality bubble, I’m learning more about myself than I have in my twenty-seven years.

Sound like a chick flick, doesn’t it?

It’s not.

Sauls -   014Author Bio:

R.L. Griffin published her first book in 2004. After that she focused on practicing law. A few years ago she began writing the By A Thread series, which is out now. Her goal is to keep readers on their toes, whether it’s the plot twist or the book itself, her books are outside any box. There is a little bit of grit in most of her books and a ton of cussing. Most books are enjoyed better with a glass of wine, or whiskey, whatever your poison may be.

She lives in Atlanta with her husband, kid and dogs. She loves to travel and meet readers.

Excerpt

After we listened to his one sided argument, my girlfriends and I sat there stunned.

“Remind me to change my panties,” Dee stage whispered to Kath. When he was off the phone, the petite Dee with her dark brown hair and big blue eyes looked at Cam and said, “I will pay you every dollar in my bank account to talk that way to me.”

He jerked his head toward her. “Excuse me?”

“Your voice is like hot fudge dripping off the end of a spoon.” He did have a terrific voice.

“It’s the beard,” I said to my friends. “It makes me want to just climb up onto his face and take a ride on the man-mane. Did I just say that out loud?”

Teaser:

“As soon as she granted me access, I took her mouth hard and deep. When I pulled back, she was limp in my arms. “Victoria?” I chuckled and gave her a small shake while she smiled, still with her eyes closed.

“I’m swooning. And, not sure, but be careful you don’t slip in the puddle under my feet that kiss just created.”

Review

Bride in Bloom was a delightful read. Cam and Victoria knew each other distantly. Both were in relationships with different people and when things took a turn, they found one another. These characters were sweet and realistic. I could see the group of friends hanging out in California. And the imagery was so perfect. I could see the places in Laguna Beach as the author described. It made me slightly jealous. 

I enjoyed reading about the romantic gestures that Cam made. It brought softness and beauty to a sad breakup. I felt for Cam, his scenario was just plain awful and heartbreaking. But I loved that he took that energy and channeled it into something beautiful. And Victoria, her drama was way worse than anything I could have imagined happening. I was shocked but again she was able to grow from it and do something for herself.
I recommend this book to readers that are in search of a sweet read with hot scenes. 4 smooches for Bride in Bloom.

Eighteen year old Tatum Krause wants nothing more than to finish her senior year without any more drama. After the near overdose of her drug abusing mother the previous year, she moved out in the hopes of making something better for herself. However, the week before her final year, she ends up needing the help of a sexy stranger who’s about to flip her world on its axis.

Jacoby Ryan only wants one thing: to forget his past. The last two years have been filled with empty feelings and women in an attempt to stem the heartache and guilt. He’s ghosted blindly through the motions until late one night, he finds a car stalled on the side of an empty highway where he meets a beautiful girl with a haunted look in her eyes.

She has a secret, but so does he. Despite their magnetic pull, the two come to the shocking revelation their relationship isn’t so black and white. Is it possible to fight a bone-deep attraction when the entire universe is telling you it’s wrong?

Dante’s Redemption by Jamie Whitley Blog Tour

 

unnamed (4)DR

ea4a1-add2bto2bgoodreads

6c0d2-synopsis

Dante Santoro knew he was destined for great things. Growing up with two dead beat parents, Dante was forced to become an adult before his time. Deciding to change the world, Dante distanced himself from the only life he knew, the life of drugs and crime.

After going through school and training, Dante became a detective in the local police force. Keeping focused on getting drugs off the streets, he limited friends and outside connections.

Finding himself the perfect candidate to go undercover, he never anticipated the one person he thought was safe could jeopardize it all.

Will Dante be able to succeed at making the streets a safer place or will his destiny alter the course of the life he lives forever?

DRTeaser1

1de41-excerpt

It’s so easy to think you’re invincible when you’re a kid. No one tells you any different, so you’re led to believe that you’re untouchable. When you play with your GI Joes, Snake Eyes always takes down the bad guys; and good always prevails over evil. Your parents just smile and watch you play and protect your innocence. Then you grow up and you learn that good doesn’t always win. In the end we all die, there is no escaping the fact that we won’t live forever. When your time is up, it’s up. There’s no cheating death.

I always knew growing up I was destined to make something great of myself. I was going to have purpose in this ugly world and bring some beauty into it. I just didn’t know how I was going to do it. It’s hard to find yourself when your mother’s a drug addict and your dad walked out on you at the age of four. Not really the best role models for a kid.

Most people would use that as their excuse to slack off and not have to follow the rules. Feel entitled to do whatever the fuck they wanted because life handed them a shitty hand. Not me, I took it as my chance to prove to everyone out there that there are no excuses; you create your own future.

I studied hard through school and my grades excelled. I joined every sports team I could to keep myself busy so I wouldn’t have to go home to my mom. I eventually had to get a part-time job at an auto shop to help pay for my food. My mother never seemed to care if I had food on the table. The only thing she cared about was how she was going to get her next fix I had no choice but to provide for myself or I would go hungry.

Still, I never resented her. Her addiction made me stronger and taught me that hard work pays off. Fast forward and here I am, thirty years old and a DEA Agent with a nice record of busts under my belt. Ironic isn’t it? I grew up with a drug addict and now I take down drug dealers. Dante Santoro, the biggest walking contradiction to the drug world. Nice to meet you.

Review

Dante knows what’s it like to have your life ruined by drugs, so it only made sense that he went into a career that was trying to bring these drugs off the street and protect people. When an opportunity arises to go undercover to put a stop to some infamous criminals Dante knows he’s the person for the job. But is he really has un-involved as he is trying to tell himself and what happens when he suddenly spots his ‘sex buddy’ in a place she shouldn’t be?

“I grew up with a drug addict and now I take down drug dealers. Dante Santoro, the biggest walking contradiction to the drug world. Nice to meet you.”

I had really mixed views about this story. On paper it has everything I normally love in a book, drama, twists, sex, love suspense; so much to keep you reading. However something just didn’t connect with me to make me love it, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t enjoy it because I did.

The characters were great. Dante was a slightly tortured soul but i admired his strength and perseverance to want to make the world a better place. He was cocky, funny and sweet all rolled into one.

Ava was definitely a role model in my eyes. She’s confident, brave, in control and a strong woman in a mans world but she’s not letting that stop her. I really liked Ava and from the first major scene involving Dante and a pair of handcuffs I just knew I was going to love this sassy woman.

“I always knew growing up I was destined to make something great of myself. I was going to have purpose in this ugly world and bring some beauty into it. I just didn’t know how I was going to do it.”

Now the plot; as I stated before it really did have everything. I never saw any of the twists coming so that kept it so entertaining and kept me guessing the whole way through. And the sex scenes were hot! With a lovely romance story thrown in. However Im not sure if it was the writing style or how things were played out but I just didn’t find myself feeling loads of emotion, I enjoyed the story I just didn’t connect to it like I do with others.

“I’ve never been the romantic type. Hell, I never even considered the thought of a relationship before you. But you changed all that. You changed me. You have made me realize that it’s okay to open up to people and let them in.”

But please don’t let that put you off because there is plenty within this story that I know loads of people will love and on top of that there are characters that you will want to read about and you will want to know what’s going to happen in their story. Overall an enjoyable read and I will look out for more from this author!

Sustained (Legal Briefs #2) by Emma Chase Cover Reveal

01

SUMMARY:

 
A knight in tarnished armor is still a knight.
When you’re a defense attorney in Washington DC, you see first-hand how hard life can be and that sometimes the only way to survive is to become harder. I have a reputation for being cold, callous, 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 get you off. 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 am knee deep in a damn compost pit.

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

And that – that I know how to do.

His Only Wife Synopsis:

I didn’t think I’d ever want to devote my life to someone. That is, until Brin.

I was twenty-six years old the day she entered my life, just when I’d given up hope, just when I’d given up completely on having any shred of happiness in my pathetic excuse for a life. After years of indecision, self-destruction and soul-searching, she found me.

Brinley challenged everything I thought I knew. She proved that goodness could still come from that hellish compound. Goodness, bravery and love. She changed everything the moment she knocked on the door of my apartment, acting as brave as a lion, even though she was shaking like a terrified mouse stuck in my trap.

And now, three years later, I want her as my wife. My only wife. Till death do us part.

Just us.

And I’ve never wanted anything more.

Excerpt

I lift my head and press my lips against his. His hand cradles my cheek and he holds me as we kiss. I grab his neck and feel the weightlessness from letting a little part of myself go. He kisses me adoringly and cautiously, allowing me to lead but still commanding me. I lose myself a little more as I moan when his hand presses against the small of my back.

“Let go,” he says against my mouth. “Let me take it for you.”

Before I can say anything, his mouth is on mine again. Our tongues thrash against each other as the kiss becomes hungry. He pulls me close so there’s no space between us. The low sound resonates through his chest, sending shivers down my spine. It’s sexy, and before I know it, my hands are traveling to his chest. I pull his shirt out and my fingers trail up his chest. I want to feel his skin.

Liam breaks the kiss. “Natalie,” my name is both a plea and a request.

“Shhh,” I instruct him as I unbutton his shirt. “I want to feel your heart.”

My hands glide up and he trembles beneath my touch. We stand here with my fingers resting on his chest, feeling his heart beat beneath me. He’s alive and here with me. His hands stay at his sides as he once again lets me decide where I’m going with this.

“I want to touch you so bad,” he admits and his hand lifts then drops. “I’m fighting every muscle in my body right now.”

“Stop fighting,” I say without thinking.

Excerpt

“Ready for this?” he asked, setting everything down. He attached a green spinning piece onto the end of one line and handed it to me.

“Um, we’re using an ornament instead of a worm?”

Max tossed his head back and laughed. “It’s called a lure and yes, we are. Go ahead and cast out.”

I held the pole in my hand and just looked at him. “And I do that how?”

“For heaven’s sake,” he grumbled with a smile on his lips. He stood behind me and wrapped his arms around my waist, grabbing the pole.

“We could just go back inside,” I said, half kidding.

He ignored me. “You just draw it back like this, pull it forward and press this button,” he said, doing it for me. “That’s all there is to it. Now you wait for something to bite or you can reel it in and toss it out again. Up to you.”

He left me standing there and got his own pole ready. His muscles rippled through his shirt, his skin peeking from under the hemline as he reached and bent. I sat down in the cool grass and watched the show.

Max cast his line in the water a few yards away from mine. The moon began to peek through the clouds, the light making my man look even sexier.

He cast his line out again, looking completely content.

“I don’t think anything’s gonna bite,” I said, starting to reel mine in.

“That’s not the point,” he said, laughing softly.

“Getting a fish to bite isn’t the point? What am I missing?”

“Fishing is an art. You can sit here forever and not get a bite. But unless you’re feeding your family on it, it doesn’t matter.”

I looked at him like he was crazy. “Okay. So the point is to waste time?”

“No, sweetheart. The point is to let the water and the air and the quiet take you away. Fishing is something you can do alone if you need to clear your head. You can do it with a buddy or your dad if you want to bond. It’s a tradition, I guess.”

I reeled my line in and cast it out again. “So we’re bonding?”

He smirked. “This is one of my favorite ways to bond.”

“Huh. I’d have thought your favorite way to bond included more, you know, bonding. Contact. That kind of thing.” I let my gaze fall to the bulge in his jeans and looked back up again.

“You better stop looking at me like that, sweetheart,” he warned.

“Or what?”
