Shoot For The Moon, Book 2 ~ Black River Series by Rochelle Paige

 

Blurb:

 

Eliza Reve knows that her ability to dream of future events sets her apart from others. Her gift became a curse when she wasn’t able to save her mother or
the alpha’s son and she found herself exiled – a lone wolf. When she joins the Black River Pack, Eliza vows never to reveal her talent to anyone. Not even
the man who has walked in her dreams for years.

 

Spencer Tate is her mate, but her visions have told her that he will renounce her. When he doesn’t recognize her as his mate, she agrees to the
no-strings-attached affair he offers because she thinks it’s the most she can hope for. Although her heart breaks as she falls deeper in love with him, she
wants to spend as many days with Spencer as possible before he kicks her out of his life.

 

When Spencer finally comes to his senses, he has his work cut out for him to convince Eliza that he wants her forever. When another she-wolf insists she’s
his mate instead, things get even more complicated. But Spencer isn’t the alpha’s second and enforcer because he isn’t willing to fight for what’s his, and
he refuses to settle for anything less than Eliza as his marked and claimed mate.

 

This is book two in the Black River Pack series. Each novella will feature a different couple.

EXCERPT:

I squinted and focused my attention on the blue sports car headed our way.

Cliff sat back in his chair and put the notes in his pocket with an amused smirk on his face. “It looks like your boyfriend found you,” he quipped, taking another sip of his coffee.

Paxton obviously didn’t know I was with someone else because when he saw Cliff, his expression went from passive to livid. Slamming on the brakes, he got out of the car and glared at us.

“He’s not my boyfriend,” I said as I got to my feet. He sure as hell was acting like it though. “What are you doing?” I asked incredulously.

His nostrils flared. “I could ask you the same thing. Whoever that is, say goodnight. The date’s over.”

A FIGHTER’S DESIRE – PART ONE Blurb:

Two is always better than one.

What would you do if you were given the chance to spend the night with not one, but two fighters? Would you do it? Could you open yourself up to the pleasures they offered and do exactly what they said in order to pass on to the next round?

It was common knowledge that Ryley and Camden Jameson, well-known MMA fighters and identical twins, were just as aggressive and passionate in the bed as they were in the ring. The only problem was that if you didn’t pass their test on the first night, then you didn’t proceed to the next round. They loved a good fight, and that’s what they got when they met Ashleigh Warren.

Ashleigh knew what was going to happen when the twins approached her with a proposition, and needless to say, she knew exactly how to handle them … or so she thought. The rules had changed, and in order to get them both she had to first spend one night with each and last until they were done with her. It was a proposition she couldn’t refuse, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to win. However, it was one that she was going to enjoy.

A FIGHTER’S DESIRE – PART TWO  Blurb:

When you’re told to stay away from someone or something it only drives the urge to go after it more. In this case, that was exactly what happened. For years, Gabriella Reynolds—younger sister of MMA’s Heavyweight Champion, Matt Reynolds—was warned by him to stay away from his fighter friends; she deserved better and they would only break her heart.

Did she listen? Yes, for a while, but temptation can only consume you so much until you fall into its trap. There’s a certain fighter she’s interested in, and it just so happens that he’s her brother’s best friend, the only one that is completely off limits to her. However, she’s not the only one fighting temptation. Tyler Rushing can’t deny his attraction to her, but he’s afraid she’ll want more and he can’t give that to her. When he finds out that’s not the case … everything changes.

Secrets can be dangerous, but they can also be thrilling and intense. Gabriella and Tyler have no choice but to keep their time together a secret … and it’s a secret that’ll stay with them forever.

TYLER’S UNDOING

Synopsis:

She was what he wanted … but she was also his undoing.

Through mutual understanding, Tyler’s secret affair with Gabriella Reynolds has come to an end. It’s a decision that not only saves their friendship, but it’s one that will change his life forever.

For the past couple of years, Tyler Rushing has been known as one of the UFC’s most memorable and sexy heavyweight fighters. Now he has the chance to win the title and claim the fame he so deserves. He has everything he could ever want until Kacey Andrews walks through the door of his gym, wanting nothing to do with him. Keeping his eyes off of her is a challenge; there’s an innocence about her that draws him to her, and he’s not going to stop until he makes her his. Little does he know that Kacey Andrews isn’t a stranger. She’s a part of his world; he just doesn’t know it. It’s a secret she’s worked hard to keep hidden.

Kacey spent years trying to get away from the fighting world, away from the man who’s hated among the MMA elite … her brother, Kyle Andrews. Unfortunately, she’s brought back into it when Tyler’s relentless battle for her heart wins her over, drawing her in. The only problem is that secrets never stay buried forever. In the end, Tyler has a decision to make, and it’s one that can possibly destroy his and Kacey’s life … forever.

Ryley’s Revenge

Synopsis:

UFC Middleweight fighter, Ryley Jameson, swore it would never happen again. He was done with his ex, and over the pain she’d inflicted when she left him. At least, that’s what he tells people. Maybe if he says it enough, he’ll begin to believe it himself.

Regretting her decision to let Ryley go, Ashleigh Warren comes back into town and confronts him. Holding only one secret back, she puts the rest on the line and asks for a second chance. Too bad he’s not going to let her off easy.

Camden Jameson loves his twin brother, but his jealousy runs deep. They may be identical in looks, but that’s where the similarities end. When Ashleigh comes back into Ryley’s life, Camden has the perfect opportunity for revenge. Two birds, one stone.

A journey to the Dark Side affects them all, but only one feels the true sting of revenge.

Review

Wow, this might have been my most favorite of the whole A Gloves off series.  I have been waiting for Gabby’s story and I am so glad that it did not disappoint.  Paxton was super sexy and sweet.  Gabby was her usual spunky trouble making self and I just loved their chemistry.  She gets into big trouble this time and it is up to Paxton to save her.

“Because I’m here, and as long as you’re with me, you’ll never be alone.  I promise.”

I really did love Pax.  He might be most favorite of this series so far.  He was totally swoony.  Gabby is also a favorite of mine.  She is strong and compassionate but still goes for what she wants in life without taking any crap and I love her character so much.  She is definitely the kind of female lead that I enjoy reading.

This story packs a lot of action in along with some steamy sexy scenes and while this might be my most favorite of the series so far, I have a feeling Camden’s story is going to blow this one out of the water.  I do love myself a reformed bad boy with naughty tendencies.  I hope he meets himself a girl so sweet he cannot resist.  I am literally dying for Camden’s Redemption!!!

*The Pact is a

standalone, contemporary adult romance*

It all started with a pinky swear…
Linden McGregor is tall, rugged, and gunslinger handsome; a helicopter pilot with a Scottish brogue and charm to spare. He’s also one of Stephanie Robson’s best friends and has fit into that box for as long as she’s known him.
Beautiful, funny and an ambitious businesswoman (with one hell of an ass), Stephanie Robson is one of Linden McGregor’s best friends and has fit into that box for as long as he’s known her.
But some relationships can’t be boxed, can’t be classified, can’t be tamed.
Back in their mid-twenties and tired of the competitive hit-or-miss dating scene of San Francisco, Steph and Linden made a pact to marry each other if neither one of them are in a serious relationship by the time they hit thirty.
It sounds like fun and games but as the years to thirty tick past and lovers come and go out of their lives, the pact becomes larger than life.

Sex is inevitable. Friendships are tested. Hearts are on the line.

 

The pact is about to change everything.

 

 

 

 

EXCERPT:

Her eyes are so blue and wide, like the morning sky, her

mouth so perfectly full. I contemplate running my thumb over her lips before I

kiss the salt off of them.

I should just do it. I should just fucking do it.

I swallow hard, my throat feeling closed up but I know it’s

not from my cold. It’s from want and it’s from fear.

“What are you staring at?” she asks me, her voice shaking slightly.
Just f**king kiss her.

About Gibson’s Legacy

Gibson Barclay has been famous for almost seven years and he’s only twenty four.

Seldom does anyone pick up a magazine, newspaper or watch a television entertainment show, without seeing his image or reading about his promiscuous antics. He had no need to court publicity with his magnetic charm and charismatic ways; when he chooses to cooperate that is. Shrugging off the advice of publicists and image consultants, Gibson makes no excuses for who he is, and with no ties, he answers to no one about how he chooses to live his life.

From teenage musician to twenties mega rock star, Gibson has seen and done it all. Women fantasize about him and men envy his rock scene, womanizing lifestyle. Only one person ever made Gibson feel uncomfortable about the way he lived his life. No one ever said no to him that he can remember, although there was two minute events that he has never been able to shake from his mind. Both of those events involved the way Chloe Jenner looked at him. It was something and nothing, but for him, the impact haunted him. In the strangest twist of fate, something so wildly obscure occurred, that set his mind ablaze with the memory of that small encounter.

Like all women, Chloe found Gibson striking and had even shared with friends, her own guilty fantasy about him. Fantasy and reality were poles apart and Chloe believed that Gibson Barclay never even knew that she existed.

*Adult Contemporary Romance – Due to strong language and sexual content, this book is not suitable for readers under the age of eighteen.*

Excerpt

Hands invaded my body space and ran up and across my pectorals, my head dropping to see what she was doing. She glided her palms around and under my arms, until they stopped on both scapula bones on my back.

Stroking me, she smiled suggestively and continued to trail downwards toward my ass, and by the time I made eye contact with her, she was so close her hot panting breaths were fanning over my face.

Groupies had no shame. Then again, I was so fucking wired after the gig, I needed something to bring me down, and an easy fuck meant I didn’t have to be charming or polite to anyone. This girl knew the score and she was begging for it.

4 Smooches!

kis1 kis2 kis2 (copy) kis

Synopsis

Have you ever thought you had your life all figured out, only to wake up one day and realize that you have to start all over?

DEVASTATED by a career-ending injury, professional ballerina Mia Parker decides to move back to her hometown of West Trenton to open a dance studio and begin again.

DETERMINED to do what is best for his young daughter, Jaxson Sinclair finds himself adrift as a single Dad after his unstable marriage suddenly ends in tragedy.

DESTINED to find each other, there’s no denying the attraction between them, but can he get past the self-blame of the accident? He is drawn to Mia and is astonished at how she can bring his daughter Sophie out of her shell like no other.

Will Mia be the push he needs to start living again? Although the obstacles of starting over are endless, they discover comfort in each other’s arms. Can Jax bring this dancer to the Pointe of Passion where she never wants to go back?

Sometimes starting over can make all of your dreams and desires come true. 

Review

Ballet has always been a part of Mia Parker’s life. Professional dancer for the New York Ballet Company, Mia took her career seriously. But when one performance alters her future, the choice to go back home and start a dance studio arises. Along with two of her company friends/roommates, they travel to West Trenton, Louisiana. On this trip home, along with the success of the dance studio, falling in love just wasn’t on the agenda for Mia. But through a friend, she meets Jaxson Sinclair, who is a totally hottie. Jaxson has a 5 year old daughter that has undergone a tragedy and with this she hasn’t been herself. So in hopes to get his daughter back, Jaxon enrolls her in the dance studio. Although the attraction is there between these two, they have a few hurdles to overcome.


So I found out that this book, Pointe of Passion, is the first book by Annalie Walker. She has a beautiful way of writing. It drew me in and kept me glued through the book. It even made me stay up way past my bedtime to finish. Characters are written beautifully and I had a connection with each one. I felt for each one of them especially Sophie, Jaxson’s daughter. I just wanted to take her home with me. There are a few steamy scenes and little misunderstandings for Jaxson and Mia, but I just enjoyed reading their love story. 4 definite smooches for Annalie Walker and Pointe of Passion.

With years spent studying The Fellowship, an organized crime brotherhood of

liars, thieves, and killers, Bleu will rely on her skills as a special agent to

cut Thane Breckenridge off at the knees. But walking hand in hand with

retribution means risking collateral damage, in the form of Breckenridge’s son

known this undertaking would place her life in danger—she never imagined her

heart would be as well.

EXCERPT:

 

 

Sinclair Breckenridge’s POV:

“I’m in the business of boundaries and limits. I’m aware of what mine are and how far I’m willing to go to get my job accomplished. It can include lying and sometimes stealing.” I wait a moment for driving the last nail into the coffin. “And perhaps the occasional killing.”

“How do you feel when you do those things?”

“Powerful.” I purposely choose that word because it’s the one she used to describe how she felt when she brought Duff to his knees. I want her to see just how similar we are.

She watches out the window for a minute before speaking again. “Do you like the way it feels?”

I can’t lie. I get a high from it. “Very much.”

Another minute passes. “Okay.”

What? “Just … okay?”

“Would you like me to be horrified?” she asks. “I can do that if it would make you feel better or improve your opinion of me.”

She’s no fucking Pollyanna. So I guess there’s no reason for her to pretend to be. “No. Okay works for me.”

I’m not sure if I should be disturbed by her lack of appall. It feels like a double standard to be shocked by an absence of dismay.

My God, has the pot met the kettle? “I wish I could get inside your head.”

“No, you don’t,” she says. “My mind is a dark place to be.”

I think I may have met the perfect woman. In her eyes, I’m not a monster at all.

Aimee Anderson is ten when the traveling carnival first comes to her nice little town. She doesn’t expect her world to change so completely. But meeting Kestrel Donohue puts her life on a different path.

Even though she only sees him for the two weeks of the year when he passes through her home town, his friendship is the most important of her life. As a child’s friendship grows to adult love, the choices become harder, and both Kes and Aimee realize that two weeks a year will never be enough.

An Imaginary House by the Sea by Cecily Gates Review

22565408

4 Smooches!

kis1 kis2 kis2 (copy) kis

Synopsis

“Love is a messy thing. That hopelessly devoted, deep-in-your-bones kind of love we used to dream about when we were kids—it turns out that it’s hard. It aches. It takes time. Like a house that weathers the ages, it must be built, brick by brick.”

Snarky and ambitious Dawn Campbell almost had it all: a job producing lavish celebrity events, a hip downtown apartment, and a studmuffin of a boyfriend. But after losing all three in one fell swoop, Dawn finds herself resorting to the unimaginable: returning home to Bridgeport, an oceanside town where the air smells sweet but not much happens.

When a chance encounter brings her into the sturdy arms of John Brown, her childhood best friend, old feelings come rushing back. As the sparks fly, life finally starts to look up for Dawn…until she meets his wife. 

Marguerite Brown has everything that Dawn doesn’t: a killer fashion sense, a breathtaking beauty, and a French accent—oh, and the kind of temperament that makes great white sharks seem docile in comparison. Determined to release John from an unhappy marriage, Dawn turns on the charm and makes a plan to finally win back her one-that-got-away.

But after Dawn stumbles upon a secret that, up until now, Marguerite has meticulously kept hidden, the two women are thrust into an unexpected friendship. An Imaginary House by the Sea follows Dawn’s journey towards self-rediscovery, finding purpose, and building a more complex, steadfast kind of love than she could have ever imagined.


“Cecily’s writing reads like a snarky Nicholas Sparks. An Imaginary House by the Sea is an emotional rollercoaster grounded by her uniquely wry voice.” – India Lee, author of HDU and the Hidden Gem series

Review

Dawn Campbell had it all….well almost. When the axis tilted and Dawn found herself going back to her hometown of Bridgeport, she didn’t think she could have it any worse. Until she met her best friend growing up and unrequited love, John Brown, shortly after moving home, she knew that love and romance was on her side…until yet again, it wasn’t.

I can honestly say that at the beginning of this book, I had prejudged and decided I hated it. I didn’t like Dawn’s selfish, shallow, self-absorbed attitude or behavior. If it wasn’t about or for Dawn, she wasn’t having it. However, the more I read, the more I began to enjoy the story, as well as the characters.

The story line reminded me somewhat of the movie “Stepmom”. I fell in love with Marguerite when she challenged Dawn to be herself and face her dreams. I laughed and boy did I cry (So have the tissues ready)!!!!!

Cecily Gates did a great job in making you connect with the characters and feel what they were. The way she did the snippets of the past really helped to understand the characters and where they were coming from, without bogging down the story. She could be a sassy Nicholas Sparks .

All in all, I’d give An Imaginary House by the Sea by Cecily Gates 4 SMOOCHES!

that the minute he sets eyes on her at the Christmas ball, his blood boils with

lust. He refuses to allow himself to fall prey to his aunt’s ministrations.

That is, until he is compromised and stuck in an engagement

to a girl who claims she’d rather jump from a moving carriage than marry him.

Funny thing that, for the very minute she says no, he finds his heart very much

wants to say yes. When she doesn’t leap at the chance to marry him, he sets

about to not only prove that he’s worthy of her favor, but also worthy of her

heart.

A Winter Wish

– Nadine Millard

Mariah Bolton is as headstrong as she is clever, as

strong-willed as she is beautiful. She enjoys her life and, apart from a rather

snobbish mama, she is happy with her lot.

Imagine her consternation then when her world is turned

upside down by the brooding and aloof Mr. Brandon Haverton!

Mariah and Brandon are forced to endure each other’s company

more than either wants to when a snowstorm traps them in the same house.

They argue, they bang heads and they drive each other

insane.

But something precious is blooming beneath the surface of

all that ice. Something neither looks for but both need.

Can love melt the snow around Brandon’s cold heart?
Can Mariah be brave enough to take a leap of faith?
And can a Winter Wish help bring two souls together forever?
