About ASA:

Starting over in Denver with a whole new circle of friends and family, Asa Cross struggles with being the man he knows everyone wants him to be and the man he knows he really is. A leopard doesn’t it change its spots and Asa has always been a predator. He doesn’t want to hurt those who love and rely on him, especially one stunning arresting cop who suddenly seems to be interested in him for far more than his penchant for breaking the law. But letting go of old habits is hard, and it’s easy to hit bottom when it’s the place you know best.

Royal Hastings is quickly learning what the bottom looks like after a tragic situation at work threatens not only her career but her partner’s life. As a woman who has only ever had a few real friends she’s trying to muddle through her confusion and devastation all alone. Except she can’t stop thinking about the sexy southern bartender she locked up. Crushing on Asa is the last thing she needs but his allure is too strong to resist. His long criminal record can only hurt her already shaky career and chasing after a guy who has no respect for the law or himself can only end in heartbreak.

A longtime criminal and a cop together just seems so wrong . . . but for Asa and Royal, being wrong together is the only right choice to make.

BLURB:

 

Grace Shaw is on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend who refuses to believe their relationship is over. He’s a cop and is willing to use police resources
to track her down. So Grace comes up with a plan and tricks his fellow brothers in blue into thinking crying wolf a couple of times when he’s reported her
missing. Little does she know she’ll go running into the arms of a real wolf when she finally makes her escape for real.

 

She just wants to be left alone, but then she meets Hunter Tate – the alpha of the Black River Pack. Grace tries to hold Hunter at arm’s length, but
there’s just no reasoning with an alpha male werewolf who insists she’s his mate.

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

Excerpt:

Then a pure, sweet scent drifted my way and my wolf wanted to know where it was coming from so he could roll around in it. Parker was looking over my
shoulder with a welcoming smile on his face. A growl crept up my throat at the flirty gleam in his eyes as I turned to see who had caught his attention.

She was the opposite of any woman I’d ever fucked in the past. Everything I’d thought I would never want. Her tiny frame looked practically breakable by
human standards, let alone a wolf’s. I had to be at least a full foot taller than she was and more than a hundred pounds heavier. She looked nothing like
our she-wolves, who were tall, lithe and athletic. But even though she was small, she had curves that were just begging to be touched.

Licked.

Sucked.

Bitten.

Her full breasts strained against the red fabric of the T-shirt she was wearing, the one with my brand stretched across her chest. The only thing that even
remotely resembled the women of my pack was the long, brown hair that flowed down her back and the brown eyes that blinked up at me. But even those were
better somehow. Her hair gleamed in the sun that streaked through the windows and her eyes held a softness I was unaccustomed to seeing. They also flashed
with awareness as chemistry arced between us. I heard her breath hitch as a blush crept up her neck and spread across her cheeks.

She ducked her head for a moment and took a deep breath before she looked up again. Only this time, her gaze didn’t meet mine as she smiled over my
shoulder at my brother. The beast inside me, who’d been howling in appreciation as I’d been staring at her, quickly turned to snarling at the sight of her
smiling for another man.

About Me

I absolutely adore reading – always have and always will. My friends growing up used to tease me when I would trail after them, trying to read and walk at
the same time. If I have downtime, odds are you will find me reading or writing.

I am the mother of two wonderful sons who have inspired me to chase my dream of being an author. I want them to learn from me that you can live your dream
as long as you are willing to work for it.

When I told my mom that my new year’s resolution was to self-publish a book in 2013, she pretty much told me “About time!”

Synopsis

Grace Shaw is on the run from her crazy ex-boyfriend who refuses to believe their relationship is over. He’s a cop and is willing to use police resources to track her down. So Grace comes up with a plan and tricks his fellow brothers in blue into thinking crying wolf a couple of times when he’s reported her missing. Little does she know she’ll go running into the arms of a real wolf when she finally makes her escape for real.

She just wants to be left alone, but then she meets Hunter Tate – the alpha of the Black River Pack. Grace tries to hold Hunter at arm’s length, but there’s just no reasoning with an alpha male werewolf who insists she’s his mate.

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

Review

“But even though she was small, she had curves that were just begging to be touched. Licked. Sucked. Bitten.”

This being only my second shifter book I wasn’t sure how I would feel about it! But I have to admit, I really really enjoyed it. Wolves make some of the best Alphas and I am a super sucker for an Alpha Male! I love the intsta-connection that they feel and the fact that they are even more alpha-licious than the normal alpha-male really get me excited!

“I’d already claimed her as mine. She was just going to be the last one to know it.”

Grace is on the run from an abusive ex and she is keeping all this hidden from her new boss and super sexy bar owner, Hunter. Hunter, unknown to Grace is the Alpha of the Black River Pack and from the moment he meets Grace he is sure she is his mate. I LOVE how strong these shifters feel for their mates and how protective they are. Why does it get me so excited when at the first drop of trouble they have their women moved in and under their watch all the time. Hunter is no different and when it seems like Grace’s secret past is finally catching up to her he takes that opportunity to move her in and take over the situation. But when is he going to let her know about the depth of his feelings and the truth of who or what he really is?

“Don’t worry about me, Gracie-mine. There’s nothing here that can harm me.”

This was my second book by Rochelle Paige and I am completely convinced that she gives good Alpha and being an Alpha Whore I am only too excited to read more from her and after enjoying this book I look forward to more from this new paranormal series by her as well. My only qualm with this book was that it was a novella, I enjoyed it so much I wish there was even more. But even with the shorter length I felt the story was well developed and full. No cliffy and a wonderful HEA!

CTTbanner Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00071]

***The powerful continuation of the story that began in Reclaiming the Sand- a tale of love and forgiveness and learning to over come a past that has come to define you.***

Bully and Victim

Friend and Lover

Past and Future

Ellie McCallum and Flynn Hendrick’s story was as painful as it was devastating. But they were able to find within each other an unlikely yet beautiful love. Despite the obstacles that tried to keep them apart.

And together they rose out of the ashes of their tragic history.

Now years after their life changing reunion Ellie is back in Wellston, having just

graduated from college and ready to start her future with the man who taught

her how to love. However, returning to a town that held so much bitterness and

anger was the last place she wanted to start over.

But for Flynn, who is now an art professor at the community college and firmly rooted

in the place that gave them their beginning, she’d do just about anything.

Yet it’s difficult building a life when you’ve only just learned how to live.

And love, no matter how strong, doesn’t always conquer all.

 

Ellie and Flynn must learn how far they are willing to go to stay together. Or whether the ghosts of the past will consume

them both.

 

Because finding a happily ever after is harder than it seems. Particularly when you’re

fighting against the one thing that could destroy you.

 

 

 Check out our 4 Smooches Review HERE!

From the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author of Find You in the Dark and Bad

Rep comes a story of forgiveness, redemption and finding love in the most

unlikely of places.

*THIS IS A STANDALONE WITH NO CLIFFHANGER!*
Bully and victim.
Tormenter and tormented.
Villain and hero.

Ellie McCallum was a bully. No connection to anyone or anything. A sad and lonely

existence for a young woman who had come to expect nothing more for herself.

Her only happiness coming from making others miserable.

Particularly Freaky Flynn.

Flynn Hendrick lived a life completely disconnected even as he struggled to become

something more than that boy with Asperger’s. He was taunted and teased,

bearing the brunt of systematic and calculated cruelty, ultimately culminating

in a catastrophic turn of events that brought Ellie and Flynn’s worlds crashing down.

But then Flynn and Ellie grew up.
And moved on.

Until years later when their paths unexpectedly cross again and the bully and the

freak are face to face once more.

When labels come to define you, finding yourself feels impossible. Particularly for

two people disconnected from the world who inexplicably find a connection in

each other.

And out of the wreckage of their tragic beginnings, an unlikely love story unfolds.

But a painful past doesn’t always want to let go. And old wounds are never truly

healed…and sometimes the further you try to run from yourself the closer you

come to who you really are.

Review

Ok, Chasing The Tide is a continuation of Flynn and Ellie’s story from Reclaiming The Sand. so I must insist that you read Reclaiming The Sand first because you will totally be a lost hot mess if you don’t.   Reclaiming The Sand was one of my tops reads this year.  I absolutely loved it.  I fell in love with Flynn, and Ellie too, somehow.  I was dying for more of their story!

But I know that one day I won’t need to miss you anymore because you’ll come back and find me again.

(way to leave a sister hanging, Ms. Walters!)

Chasing The Tide begins with Ellie coming back from school.  She has been away at college for a few years and true to Flynn’s word she is home simply to come back to him.

Every story has a beginning.  Flynn was mine.

Oh God, I was so happy for Ellie to be home with Flynn.  Their story in this book is a hard one.  Ellie is not crazy to be back home with so many bad memories from her past and childhood and she refuses to get help for her problems.  Living with a significant other is always hard at first but Flynn is even harder to live with and Ellie has reservations about making the jump with him even though it has already happened.  Flynn is fully committed to her and I have to say that I really enjoyed getting to read more of his ADULT point of view this time around.  Meredith does a fabulous job with Flynn.  She must have done a lot of research because Flynn’s personality rang so true to me.  He was beautiful, honest, and if Ellie could look just a little harder she could see how uncomplicated he is.

“Where’s your happy place?”

“With you,”

I really enjoyed this book.  I did love Reclaiming The Sand a bit more, but I felt like this story provided the closure and HEA  that I needed for Flynn and Ellie!  Definitely worth a read, folks!

A lost girl had met a sad, lonely boy and had found her heart.

EXCERPT:

 

“You get to me and I don’t want to be got

at.” Cat slung herself into the chair next to mine.

“I like getting under your skin.” Pulling her chair closer, I pinned her

legs between mine. I caressed along her neck until I cupped her face. “If you

give us a shot, I guarantee I’ll make it worth your while.”

 

She slammed her lips against mine. This kiss was volatile and urgent as

our tongues fucked against each other. I slipped back for a moment, listening

to her jarred breaths. That goddamn ponytail had to go. I freed the elastic as

she unbuttoned the shirt I’d thrown on earlier. Playing with the line of hair

down my torso led Cat to my jeans. Her palm cupped my hard cock hidden beneath

the rough fabric.

 

Fuck. FUCK!

 

Straight black sheaths of sweet smelling hair fell to her waist. “Jesus

Christ, Cat.”

My fingers spun through the silken strands. When she claimed my mouth

once more, that black velvet curtain closed around us. With one hand at the

back of her head, the other on her waist, I pulled her into me. The sweet wet

pressure of her mouth and tongue made me dizzy. Her gasps and moans were hot as

hell.

 

“Stand up for me,” I ordered.

 

When she did, I kicked her chair away. She stood between my spread legs.

Her pale blue irises were almost eclipsed by her pupils as she gazed down at

me.

 

I skimmed a knuckle along the buttons on the front of her shirt. “Any

more ink?”

“Maybe you’ll have to find out.”

 

I unbuttoned her up-to-the-throat, down-to-the-wrists top. Underneath was

a scant black bra, the cups overflowing with mounds of flesh.

 

I gave her a wicked grin. “I can’t think of anything I’d like to do more

than uncover you inch by inch.”

 

Kissing her stomach, I listened to her gasp. I worked her shirt down her

arms, leaving it bunched at the wrists by the cuffs. The flat of my hand moved

down the center of her body and back up. When I reached the front clasp of her

bra, I gave it a tug. “Can I?”

She inhaled shakily. “Yes.”

 

I unclasped the hook, and oh holy shit. Her tits burst forth. I rocked

back in my seat and stared. “Maybe not any more ink, just these beauties?”

“Nicky,” she whimpered.

 

That was the best sound on the planet, but it wasn’t to be outdone by the

sight right in front of me. I touched the very tip of one nipple, barely

holding myself in check. But fuck, I wanted to feast on her with my eyes before

I sucked on her with my mouth. Her teardrop-shaped tits were topped by

plum-colored nipples. But that wasn’t it, not by a long shot. Cat’s sexy,

dusky-colored nipples were fucking pierced. I circled one with my fingertip,

then the other. I tucked my finger into the dangling filigree decoration

hanging from one piercing and flicked it.

 

“Nicky,” she groaned, her hands digging into my hair.

 

I lifted my mouth to her, sucking a hot, pert pearl of flesh into my

mouth. Sucking it in, letting it slip out. Nibbling on the jewelry, I tugged

with my teeth it until she moaned. And because I was pretty damn sure I’d never

get enough of having my face in her tits, I moved to the other one. Licking,

tonguing, suckling. Oh yeah. The

suckling, she liked that, maybe as much as I was getting off on it. Her moans

escalated the longer I held her nipple and jewelry in my mouth, curling my lips

around her. Grunting, I moved into the deep valley between. I lapped there too.

 

 

I sat back for a moment. Her tits glistened and the color of her peaks

was even deeper. Her skin was pink from my face rubbing against her. The

piercings swayed with each of her breaths, her hips did too, silently asking

for more.

 

“Sexiest woman I’ve ever seen,” I growled.

 

I reached up and pulled her face to mine. My lips were rough on hers. She

was just as hungry, lashing her tongue into my mouth, rasping it across my

teeth and cheeks.

I let her go. I needed more of her breasts. “I’m gonna be here awhile.

You don’t mind, do you?”

 

She quickly shook her head. Her long black hair swished around her back.

Her mouth opened, but all that came out was a long low mewl. The sound set my

stiff cock right on the edge of release. I swooped down to nuzzle and tease her

some more. With my hands clasped at her waist, my thumbs circled her taut

belly, which trembled.

 

I unbuttoned her jeans. “How about this, darlin’? Is this okay?”

 

Her nails scratched across my scalp, pulling me closer.

 

I’d take that as a yes.

Blurb

Sound is an abstract concept for most people. We spend our lives blocking out the static in order to focus on what we believe is important. But what if, when the clarity fades into silence, it’s the obscure background noise that you would give anything to hold on to?

I’ve always been a fighter. With parents who barely managed to stay out of jail and two little brothers who narrowly avoided foster care, I became skilled at dodging the punches life threw at me. Growing up, I didn’t have anything I could call my own, but from the moment I met Eliza Reynolds, she was always mine.  I became utterly addicted to her and the escape from reality we provided each other. Throughout the years, she had boyfriends and I had girlfriends, but there wasn’t a single night that I didn’t hear her voice.

You see, meeting the love of my life at age thirteen was never part of my plan. However, neither was gradually going deaf at the age of twenty-one.

They both happened anyway.

Now, I’m on the ropes during the toughest battles of my life.

Fighting for my career.

Fighting the impending silence.

Fighting for her.

Every night, just before falling asleep, she sighs as a final conscious breath leaves her.

I think that’s the sound I’ll miss the most.

Excerpt

“That wasn’t yours to take away,” he exploded into the otherwise silent night. His words echoed off the surrounding buildings, each wave slicing me to the quick all over again. “That was our place. Not yours.” His voice cracked right alongside my heart.

“Yeah, well, there was a lot of stuff that wasn’t yours to take either.” I held his gaze, desperately trying to be strong, but as his eyes grew wide, I whimpered.

His long legs strode forward, stopping only inches away from me. He was crowding me, but he still leaned in closer to my face. “There is nothing in this world that was ever more mine than you,” he stated. Though it was the absolute truth, I wished with all my heart that it were a lie.

“Till,” I cried, swiping the tears from my eyes.

“Why!” he shouted, causing his muscles to tense under the force. “Goddamn it! I needed that place.”

Porch lights flashed on from the surrounding apartments, illuminating not only the dark but also my rage.

I shoved my hands into his chest. “What about what I needed? You left! I waited in that fucking apartment for weeks.”

He didn’t budge, but my bare feet slipped, sending me toward the ground. Impossibly fast, Till’s hand snaked out and caught my arm. I didn’t let his chivalrous gesture douse my fire. I had six months’ worth of words to say to the man I was irrevocably in love with.

“You took what you wanted. Then you left me.”

“Doodle,” he whispered.

I had been perilously close to the edge of insanity, and with one single word, he’d pushed me over.

I lost it completely.

Pounding my fists against his chest, I screamed at the top of my lungs, “It’s Eliza! My name is fucking Eliza! Not Doodle!” I spun to march away, but Till’s arms folded around me, lifting me off my feet to restrain me.

I was miniscule compared to him. There was no use in fighting, but I still kicked my legs, irrationally desperate to get away from him—but only because I knew I couldn’t keep him for forever.

“Stop it!” he growled into my ear. “I know your Goddamn name—probably better than I know my own.”

Seducing The Princess by Diane Alberts Release Day Blitz and Giveaway

 

STPrincess_BlitzSeducingthePrincess

Seducing the Princess by Diane Alberts was released today! This is an adult, contemporary romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint. It is book #3 in the Shillings Agency series. Be sure to check out the contest below for a chance to win a prize pack!

BOOK BLURB:

A sexy category romance from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…

He’ll give her exactly what she needs…

Protecting a princess is not what former marine Gordon Waybrook signed up for when he joined the Shillings Agency. But instead of the spoiled, regal little creature he expects, Isabelle VanGuard is a fiery, sexy-as hell woman who’s been denied what she needs for too long. And he’s just the man to break through her frozen public facade and give it to her.

When she’s with Gordon, all Isabelle can think about is pleasure. Their blistering chemistry is immediate and intense, but volatile. In fact, the only thing they agree on is that their one night together is just that—one night. Even after it becomes more. But tempers and temptation can’t disguise reality. Isabelle is a princess, and a hot, hard, and tattooed bodyguard isn’t the Prince Charming her country expects…even if he’s exactly what she needs.

EXCERPT:

He tightened his grip on her shoulder. “You might own a fucking country, but tonight…I own you. Understood, Princess?”

She gasped, her stomach tightening at his naughty words. She’d never, ever been spoken to like that. Never talked dirty. It was a heady rush that she was doing it now. Here. With him. “I understand.”

He lowered his face to hers, their lips a scant inch apart.

“Are you sure you want this? I’m only going to ask you this one time. You’re a grown ass woman, so I won’t ask you if you’ve changed your mind every other step we take toward that bed.”

“I want this.” She reached out and curled her hands around his nape, her fingers brushing the soft curl that rested just below his ear. “I want you.”

“Then you’re mine,” he said. “You have been since you sat next to me in that coffee shop.”

She nodded frantically, needing him to get on with it. To claim her. “Yes. I’m yours.”

He growled and closed the distance between them, his lips crashing to hers. The second they touched, she knew that this would be unlike any experience she’d ever had. Gordon was undeniably sexy, and she was attracted to him more so than she’d ever been attracted to another man before, but that wasn’t what would make this so different.

It was him, and the way he made her feel. Every single caress, every soft move he made, sent a surge of lust crashing through her veins. He said he’d own her tonight, and he was right. He totally did.
