Review

What a journey this series has been. I had previously read and enjoyed several of this authors erotic books before this new adult series came out. When I first signed up for #Nerd I had no clue what I was getting into but I quickly found myself falling in love with Rimmel and Romeo. So you can imagine how excited I was to get this final installment.

After everything we have been through with Romeo and Rimmel I was desperate to see these two get their happily ever after. I feel like I have watched these two kids grow up and fall in love. I am not sure there is a nerdy girl out there I love more than Rimmel. She is strong and determined. She doesn’t jut give into what others want or expect and I love her for this. And Romeo oh Romeo what can I say about you. You are an amazing book boyfriend. Caring and attentive. Loving and protective.

In my opinion the entire hashtag series is pretty sexy for new adult. Romeo and Rimmel have amazing chemistry and this book is no different. They are sexy and young and definitely make the most of that.

Cambria has once again delivered a story I loved and couldn’t have stopped reading if I tried. These are two characters I have been happy to go on this journey with and I am a bit sad to see it end.

I’m a rocker with the eyes of the world on me. Waiting for my triumph or my downfall…just waiting.

Most of my life is in my hands. My destiny? That’s another story. My destiny isn’t as debt free.

My band, Phoenix Rising, arrives in Houston to cut a new album. Before we perform our first concert in the city and I choose my groupies of the night, I’m thrust into debauchery. Sleeping with a gorgeous woman twenty years older than me has its perks, especially when her husband orchestrated the encounter and eagerly watches. To me, performing is performing. If a man wants to share his wife, who am I to stop him?

Unfortunately for me, I don’t make a clean getaway as I leave the McCall mansion. Georgie, their sixteen-year-old daughter, is in the midst of her own intrigue, sneaking home in the middle of the night after an evening of drugs and sex with her older brother’s best friend. In her, I see me. She’s lost and drifting. Her hedonistic parents insist she’s old enough to make her own decisions. Instead of time and love, they give her money and things.

I’m a twenty-five-year old international superstar and I know better. I’m cocky and arrogant. I know it so I own it. Somehow, I’ve always bested the fates. I have all to lose—my reputation, my career, and my freedom. Her mother’s jealousy forces my hand and I take Georgie on the tour.

This is our story and our secret relationship and the destruction of my life. You know the adage about secrets? Three may keep a secret, if two of them are dead. Wise words from a wise man. If only I had listened. Secrets have a way of revealing themselves in the harshest way.

WHAT INSPIRED YOU TO WRITE INFERNO:

Inferno was inspired after I read a news article about a much older man who fell in love with a girl when she was 16. My imagination took over from there and Georgie and Sloane were born. The ending to the real story was sad and heartbreaking. However, Georgie and Sloane will ultimately find happiness.

Hooking a finger inside my mesh T-shirt, she shakes her head. She really likes touching me. If I did relationships, I’d get her number. Give the paparazzi another reason to chase me and attempt to pick apart my actions. They’ve supposedly pegged my type. What would they say if I introduced her as my lover? Young and dark-haired. I can’t think of a better way to fuck with them.

“You aren’t an addict anymore.” Her voice breaks into my contemplations. “You’ve been clean since you demolished the record company’s studio and you’re halfway through the American leg of your tour. You’re not messing that up. I won’t allow it.”

Her defiance makes me laugh, although my heart hammers. While I consider using her for my amusement, her concern for me is genuine. “It isn’t for me. It’s for a special friend.”

“That porn star you’re dating?”

Fuck, she really does follow my life closely. “I’ve never dated one porn star.” Although I fucked several on the plane ride to Houston. “I want the fucking baggie. Now.”

Again, she denies me with a shake of her head. I suspect she’s used to getting her way. Is it because she’s spoiled or ignored, I don’t know. I do know what she needs, though. Discipline. Structure. Focus. At one time, I found it in my music. Lately, not even music has been enough to subdue my restiveness.

Asshole steps beside her. “Powder belongs to me,” he says tightly, a handkerchief pressed to his bleeding nose, his eye already swelling. “It’s my decision who gets it or not and I’ve chosen her.”

Cursing, I dig in my back pocket and offer him all the hundreds I have.

“Sloane, please.” Her tortured whisper will haunt me. The care and concern infused in it is more than I get from anyone. “Do you swear it isn’t for you?”

I nod and, as quickly as I came upon her, she leaves. Just like that. A delicate star brightening my life one moment and an elusive angel floating forever away the next.

Long minutes later, I sit with the coke, fighting the urge to do a line. My hands actually shake.

“Sloane, please…”

Her plea bounces in my head and her scent remains on my fingers, my lips, and in my mouth. For her, the sad, little temptress, I find the nearest bathroom and flush the blow. Then, I splash water on my face. It isn’t cold at all, so it doesn’t give my system the shock it needs to snap back from my encounter with her.

I regret not forcing the issue about her name. All it took was one look from me to get my dick into her mouth. I’m sure one, cold command for her name would’ve produced results, too. Maybe, I didn’t want to know it. A name is so personal. This way, our sex remained simple and unencumbered with expectations.

She said I’d forget her name, so she never bothered to offer it to me. But, she’s a younger, softer, feminine version of me. For the rest of my life, I’ll remember the unidentified waif with the gorgeous purple eyes.

Kathryn Kelly is living her dream and writing books. She’s always been an avid reader and still devours books in her spare time. She also enjoys football, socializing, music, eating, and jokes. In her head, she’s the ultimate biker babe. In reality, she’s an ordinary girl-next-door and a native New Orleanian.

Review

I struggled to write this review as I couldn’t quite decide on my overview opinion on it. Inferno is written in mainly Sloane and Georgiana’s POV but it does also include Cassandra. Sloane is a 25 year old rocker star who lives up to the bad boy rocker name, but he has secrets that he has buried deep. One chance meeting with Georgie changes everything for him, and starts him on a downward spiral.

Georgie is a 16 year old girl who is lost and alone. She doesn’t have the love or attention that she needs and deserves. This causes her to seek comfort and approval in other that she shouldn’t. Sloane comes into her life at the right time to help her, but by doing so all but signs his own life over to save hers, as she reminds him of himself at her age.

Sloane saves Georgie when he is at her house after sleeping with her mother, an event that Georgie’s dad put together because he has he sights set on Sloane’s aunt. Sloane decides that he needs to leave her alone when he finds out how old she is but seeing her in the state she is in, it becomes his mission to help her, and he wants her off drugs and safe.

Cassandra, Georgie’s mother is not happy with the way her life has turned out, she doesn’t really enjoy the things that happen in the bedroom until Sloane. But she soon becomes jealous of her daughter as it’s clear that Sloane likes her. What will she do to ensure they stay away from each other?

Sloane and Georgie both have too much going against them to be together, but that doesn’t seem to stop Sloane pursuing it. He wants her and gets what he wants, although he doesn’t know there is greater forces playing at wanting to cause the downfall of rocks bad boy.

Will Cassandra finally get what she wants? Will Sloane get a HEA? What will happen to Georgie?

The reason for the low stars is because for me personally I found some of the story uncomfortable to read and I struggled to relate to the characters at times. The end of the book also left me a little bit confused.

“She’s her own enemy. Just as I am mine.”

Reckless Love by Kendall Ryan Exclusive Excerpt

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Reckless Love

Release Date March 17, 2015

Synopsis:

One reckless fighter.

One night of passion she can’t forget.

The battle for sex and love is fierce and unrelenting.

And love is about to knock him on his ass.

Reckless Love can be read as a standalone novel, but is a follow up to the New York Times and USA Today bestseller Hard to Love.

EXCERPT:

His touch awakened a need in me, one I’d been desperate to suppress, and I leaned into his warm palm. His touch felt so good, so right, that I struggled to comprehend why I’d been holding myself back from this for so long. I stepped closer.

His gaze moved between my lips and my eyes. “What about Chris?”

I shook my head, my bold gaze not straying from his. If only he knew the truth. “What about him?”

“Fuck it.”

Ian curled a rough palm around the back of my neck and guided my mouth to his. His lips barely brushed against mine. His overt strength took a back seat, and the gentleness of his touch surprised me. His hot breath whispered across my skin, causing little tingles of heat to crackle along my skin and down my spine, pooling low in my belly.

A tiny whimper escaped my throat. I needed more. When his tongue lightly brushed against my lower lip, I opened for him. His tongue flicked along mine, dampening my panties and sweeping away all my good sense.

Sexy Teaser:

You could only run on determination and sheer adrenaline for so long. I needed pussy. A warm, wet pussy. No, more than that, I needed MacKenzie’s sexy, feisty ass in my bed. I needed to feel her moving underneath me, shifting her hips closer with my every thrust, groaning my name in her raspy tone.

The realization burst through me with surprising clarity—I didn’t have the willpower to stay away from her any longer.

Her gaze latched onto mine, and her chest heaved with a succession of quick breaths.

Closing one hand around the back of her neck, I guided her mouth to mine. Her eyes drifted closed and she leaned into the kiss. It was even better than I remembered. Her lips were soft, yet demanding, and followed my lead, matching every lick of my tongue against hers.

My cell phone rang in the distance, but neither of us broke the kiss. Whoever it was would have to fucking wait.

Hard To Love:

Cade’s always taken risks…

Cade takes cares of his sick younger sister by doing what he does best–cage fighting and starring in adult movies, his newest harebrained moneymaking scheme designed to pay for his sister’s growing medical bills. But when his latest gig finds him admitted to the ER sporting an erection from hell, thanks to the little pill given to him by the director, he can’t get the pretty little nurse who treated him out of his head, even though he knows she’s so far out of his league it should be illegal.

Alexa’s always played it safe…

Tired of being pigeonholed as the sweet, innocent one, hardworking nursing student Alexa has been looking for ways to break out of her Goody Two-shoes image. When her friend suggests the outlandish idea of losing her virginity to the sexy and sure-to-be-skilled porn star, Alexa is mortified. But then when Cade refuses her proposition, she finds herself pissed off and embarrassed. When she tracks him down to give him a piece of her mind, she isn’t prepared for what she finds. Watching him care for his little sister tugs at her heart, and suddenly it’s no longer just about losing her virginity, but about helping Cade. Because Lord help her, she might actually be falling for a porn star…

Eighty seven billion dollars.

One dead New York business mogul.

No heirs.

No wives.

No relatives.

Eighty seven billion dollars.

Not hers yet.

He doesn’t deserve them.

He doesn’t know what to do with them.

She gets everything she wants.

He’s what she wants.

Love has nothing to do with it.

To get to where you’re going, sometimes you need to step on a few people to get there.

Good thing her heels are sharp.

EXCERPT:

Cedar had gotten the phone call at six in the morning, hours before she normally woke up. She was at home, as always, even though she had been out the night before with Lawrence, who was still trying to get her to make things more permanent. And even though he was a Foster-Herrington, he wasn’t worth the trouble that would come along with a relationship. Not to mention he wasn’t nearly good enough in bed to make up for having to date him.

Her private line rang as she was headed toward her gym. Her private line, a number that only five people had.

“Cedar?”

It was Mr. Morris. Which could only mean one thing, because Mr. Morris never called. Ever.

“No,” Cedar whispered, her voice still hoarse from waking up.

“I’m sorry.”

“Dammit.”

“He passed away fifteen minutes ago. I called you as soon as I can.”

“Dammit.” Cedar clutched the phone tightly. “How could he?”

“I know.”

But he didn’t know, the idiot. How could he?

“He left instructions for a funeral,” Mr. Morris continued, his voice rough from a lack of sleep. He was Harold Feingold’s lawyer, which was more of a full time job than he had ever imagined it would be. The old bastard was dead, and he was still working around the clock. “He wanted you to arrange it.”

“He mentioned it to me,” Cedar said. “Earlier this week.” Dammit, why did he have to die today? Could the timing possibly be more inconvenient than it was now? Harold never gave a shit about inconveniencing others, but neither did Cedar. It was one of the reasons she liked him—genuinely liked him, and didn’t just tolerate her for where she got because of him.

“Excellent. Are you going to be at work today?”

“Of course.” Cedar headed to the gym. There was no point in throwing her schedule off entirely because someone died.

“I’ll send over the information for the funeral arrangements he wanted you to take care of.”

“Of course.” Cedar programmed the treadmill and started to walk.

“I’m sorry for your loss, Cedar,” he said awkwardly.

“I’m sorry for yours,” she replied, and almost meant it.

Author Information:

Preferably things with angst and love. And things that require chocolate. She’s the author of the NA contemporaries HEART BREATHS and ONLY THE GOOD DIE YOUNG.

THIS MUCH SPACE is the second book in her new series, TWELVE BEATS IN A BAR.

KK spends way too much time on Twitter (where she can be found as @kkhendin), and rambles on occasion over at www.kkhendinwrites.blogspot.com.

Beautiful Dangerous by Penny Dee Blog Tour

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Synopsis:

Have you ever dreamed of being plucked out of the crowd by one of the hottest rock stars in the world?

I didn’t even know who Ozstryker were when my reckless sister Beth dragged me along to their concert. I went solely to keep her out of trouble, not for me to get tangled up with the famous guitarist renowned for his magnificent shirtless torso and talented fast hands.

I had no intention of becoming a groupie, let alone anything else. But when Jax Ozstryker invited me on a date, I decided it was time for a little fun. Not that the night ended how I had planned – or how he planned, for that matter – I got a job and he didn’t get laid.

Now I’m on tour with the biggest band in the world with my crazy, unpredictable sister for company and a beautiful dangerous attraction for my new boss. I never dreamed life could be so crazy. Or complicated.

But this is life on the road – where nothing makes sense and everything is possible.

About the Author:

I have written stories for as long as I can remember. I wrote my first book when I was five years old. It was called, The Goodies, and it was a short story about driving to the shops to get some milk. Needless to say, it was a very short book and hardly the page turner. It was also illustrated in orange felt tip pen because it was the only felt tip pen left in the pencil case that wasn’t dried up and useless.

My first attempt at writing romance was in high school when my athletic ambitions were replaced with Sunday sessions in my bestfriends bedroom, smoking cigarettes and writing smut about the hot guy at school. They were dreadfully crude stories. Lots of awkward fumblings in the dark or a series of awful first kisses. They were also very straight forward. Very straight to the point. Because I didn’t have a clue about what I was talking about. And I used terrible words such as “shaft”, “her moist warmth” and “velvet cavern”…yeah, they were awesome.

In following years I wisely gave up the cigarettes, became Mum to the “best kid in the world” and married a vastly understanding and supportive soul who tolerated the complete absence of my inner domestic goddess. Through a lot of trial and error, I think I may have started to write stories other people would want to read … without an orange felt tip pen in sight…

Synopsis

It seemed like a good idea at the time. Get over my break-up by having a one-night stand with a rock ‘n’ roll hottie and move on with my life. Going on tour as official photographer to the world’s number one band was not part of the plan.

Have you ever dreamed of being plucked out of the crowd by one of the hottest rock stars in the world?

But this is life on the road – where nothing makes sense and everything is possible.

Review

Beautiful Dangerous follows the story of hard working, has a passion for photography Layla and guitar playing, has a shy side Jax. Layla goes to a concert with her crazy sister Beth to see the group Ozstryker, while in the crowd she gets picked out by none other than Jax to receive backstage passes. Thinking it’s a mistake Layla declines, but Beth isn’t having any of that as she wants to meet the band.

Layla agrees to go on a date with Jax thinking that it would be a onetime thing, have one night with Jax and then move on. The date was something that Layla didn’t expect, but the night didn’t end quite as planned. Layla after listening to her sister decides to up her flirting, unknown to her though she cannot flirt. All she ends up doing it making a fool of herself in a comical way.

Deciding to kill two birds with one stone, Layla agrees to go on four month tour the group is about to go on after Beth was invited by Jimmy. She goes to keep her impulsive sister out of trouble and she also goes as the bands official photography. This for her means that Jax is now off limits as he is technically her boss.

Jax isn’t sure what he wants, he has a past that makes it hard for him to see the good in all people. He has been hurt and in a harsh and unforgiving way, before he admits the way he feels he needs to know that Layla can handle the life that he leads. Staying with her on tour is literally hard for him as he really likes her, but knows that things can happen just yet. “A part of me is demanding I stay away from you. That it would only end badly if I don’t. But then there is another part of me that just can’t leave you alone.”

Crossing the lines of friends/employee-employer to lovers and more, Jax and Layla have to navigate what the new status means for them. People from the pat come back to cause problems, fights happen, words are thrown at each other, tears are shed and relationships are tested. Will they get the ending they deserve?

I really enjoyed this book, and I would happily read more from Penny Dee. Beautiful Dangerous had me laughing, shouting at my kindle and completely engrossed that I couldn’t put it down.
