“I don’t- I’ve always been the sister-type, never like this. Do you really want this? I don’t expect anything afterwards, but are you really attracted to me like that?” She murmured, so unsure of herself. Her hands landed on my bare chest and glided over my nipple piercings. The sensitivity was there and I briefly thought about what it would feel like having her luscious lips wrapped around them.

“Listen to me. Listen very carefully because you should already know this. You’re gorgeous, inside and out. We never saw you as our sister, we all respected you though. You were the one everyone wanted but never had a chance with. I could call up any of our surfing friends and they’d agree. Hell, the girls knew it too. When one of the guys started working up the nerve to ask you on a date, the others would warn about what would happen if he hurt you. I guess we all kinda cock blocked you.” I rub my neck, realizing how we were back then. “I’m sorry for that.”

– The birth date on the gravestone is my actual date of birth 😉

– I try to include names from my street team and readers in my books. (Rebecca, Elixix, Tami, Cassia were all from them in Regretfully)

– Tristen got his name from a good friend of mine. She was with me in the beginning of my writing process and her boyfriend’s name was Tristen and I fell in love with the name.

– I saw Cirque Du Soleil’s Zumanity and one of the performers had his nipples pierced. I was sold and knew Tristen would be getting them. 😀

– I was able to relate to Tristen in some ways regarding Cami’s death. A boyfriend of mine was taken from this world too soon and I drew from those memories.

– Gloria’s is my favorite Latin restaurant and I had to include it in the book. The one I go to is in Dallas though.

– Aria’s flashback (you’ll know which one I’m talking about, hint- alcohol) was tough for me to write. I spent weeks on it, making sure it was accurate and written in a respectable manner. That’s one scene I don’t go back and reread very much, but it’s often on my mind.

Texas born and raised, I found my love for dirty books rather recently. I work in real estate for my day job and I write contemporary romance with a twist of suspense and erotica. Sinfully, Regretfully, and Deceitfully can be read in order or as standalones. Sinfully and Regretfully take place around the same time frame and can even be read in reverse order (will give more background on Payton and Ryder’s story). Tate’s story, Deceitfully, will finish off the series and will be out in spring of 2015.

3.5 Smooches!

Synopsis

How do you heal after everything has been ripped away from you?

Completely devastated and alone, Tristen cannot fathom life after losing Cami and his unborn child. He attempts to find normality in his broken world but everything seems wrong.

Aria is compelled to help Tristen and cannot escape the undeniable connection she feels for him, even though Cami was one of her closest friends. She tries to help him move forward by befriending him but quickly realizes that there is more.

Tristen and Aria are both struggling to deal with these confusing emotions. Can they find happiness even when they feel utterly broken?

Review

Having read Sinfully, (which I recommend reading first) I was anxious about Tristen’s story. As I read, I could feel the anguish he was going through and felt. He lost the woman that he loves and on top of that the loss of his unborn child. His world has been turned on its axis. But when a friend of Cami’s is introduced to his life, he begins to come out of his darkness. Aria is a sweet funny girl and both she and Tristen feel this pull for one another. But it’s for different reasons. I felt that Tristen was using Aria as a crutch and it wasn’t fair of him. And Aria accepted this because she wanted a little more from Tristen. Both characters have their history and demons to battle.

Regretfully is book 2 of the Sinfully Series but can be read as a standalone. Characters from Sinfully come over into Regretfully, but to fully understand the relationship of them, read book one. There are many twists and turns in this book. A lot of story changing. I felt as though the author tried to tie everyone’s story in one book. And the 2nd half of the book, in my opinion, didn’t quite fit. There was a lot going on, weddings, babies, even an ER visit. I understand that life can be hectic and the author may have wanted it to be ‘real’ but to be honest, it stressed me out. I read to get away from my crazy life and I began to feel overwhelmed while reading. I really enjoyed Sinfully and don’t remember this much going on. I have met Leighton Riley at signings and she’s such a sweetheart. But when it came to book 2 I didn’t hate it or love it. Just was a neutral fit for me. This book may appeal to readers that enjoy the plot twists with a side of flashback sex scenes. As the book ended, I am assuming Aria’s story is next. I hope her story will sit better with me.

Review

When Kori’s life comes crashing down after her love, Blake, is tragically killed, she thinks she will never love again or be able to move beyond the grief that consumes her. The only thing that keeps her going is the reminder of Blake left behind, their baby boy. But she never planned on having Reed, the boy who broke her heart, come back into her life. And she never believed she could feel anything again apart from grief. But Reed is grown up, has matured and will do anything to prove to Kori that he is a decent man now.

“How did you carry on when you felt so vacant and destroyed? When you felt like half your soul was missing?”

What a beautiful, heart-breaking, lovely and eventfully happy story. I absolutely adored this book!! It was so sad but beautiful at the same time and I loved all the characters involved.

“Don’t apologize for falling in love, baby. I know how it feels to have your love, and he’s one lucky guy. It’s okay to love again, sweet girl, it doesn’t mean you love me any less. I know you’ll always love me.”

Blake, Ahh sweet, sweet Blake. We only have him for a short time in the story but through Kori’s memories I feel in love with Blake and the more Kori remembered the more I cried over the loss of him.

Kori and Reed were characters I fell in love with. Kori was the strongest woman I’ve read about in a while. So young to have her love torn away from her and raise the cutest little boy without with dad there, but she does it, and she does it well. I cried with her during her grief but I also held hope with her when I prayed that she would forgive Reed and give him another chance. Reed was a young man who knew what he had thrown away. He was strong in the sense that he could admit when he had done wrong, he was caring, he was sweet, he was protective…he was just everything you could want.

“Baby, I have waited for a second chance with you. I won’t lie and say I didn’t try to get over you, but it was impossible. There is only one Kori, one girl who stole my heart.”

The plot was beautiful. It was a story full of grief, heartbreak, forgiveness, strength, love, sweet and sexy…a perfect love story for NA readers who want a good cry but a happy ending.

“Reed was a long time ago. He was my past, and I had no room in my future for a repeat. I had to stay strong, because the last thing I needed was to let myself feel for him again. I couldn’t fall, I refused to.”

I now can’t wait to read more from this author and look forward to how she will make me cry and breaking my heart but then build it back together again in the next story.

Betwitched, Bothered and Bitten by C.C. Wood Cover Reveal

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Bewitched, Bothered, and Bitten

Bitten #3

by C.C. Wood

Blurb

The last thing I need is another complication…..

I’m a witch. My best friends know my secret so I no longer have to hide the truth. I should be relieved. My life should be easier than it was before. Unfortunately, things are rarely that simple.

Making matters worse, I feel a profound connection to a vampire named Finn. I see him in my dreams. He’s under my skin and consumes my every thought. I try to resist, but he’s always there and every time I look into his eyes, I find myself drowning in emotions I can’t understand. My mind tells me I shouldn’t be his, but my heart won’t let me walk away, even when my life depends on it.

Then I discover the supernatural underworld is on the brink of a war that could destroy us all. As lines are drawn and sides are taken, I face an impossible choice: give up the vampire that’s captured my heart or abandon my Coven when they need me the most?

Bite Me

(Bitten #1)

I had the perfect life; an awesome job in advertising, a gorgeous high rise apartment, and a flirtation with the guy down the hall. Then it all came crashing down. Two months later I was a cocktail waitress living in a tiny one bedroom apartment. I had also developed a serious ‘men suck’ attitude.

That all changed the night I met the beautiful and enigmatic Conner Savage. But there was just one little problem…he said he was a vampire. Figures a man that hot would be batshit crazy. Or so I thought. It didn’t take me long to realize that Conner wasn’t a nut job and that I was addicted to him.

With every moment we spent together he drew me deeper into his world and the supernatural culture in which he lived.
Now I had a choice: the vampire I craved or a normal life. Couldn’t be easier, right?

Once Bitten, Twice Shy

(Bitten #2)

I used to think that my life was boring. I resigned myself to the rut I was stuck in. Then my entire existence was turned upside down.

In the last six months, I’ve learned things that would get me committed to an asylum if I repeated them. First, I was kidnapped by vampires. Yes, vampires. Sounds crazy, right? My best friend, Donna, became one of the fanged after that little adventure and hooked up with a hot, Scottish vampire named Conner. They’re even planning a wedding.

Secondly, I learned not all vampires are evil. In fact, some of them are downright sexy.

Alexander Dimitriades has it all. He’s tall, dark, and handsome and manages to give me tingles in all the right place and also make me laugh. Unfortunately, to be with him, I would have to give up my humanity and I like being human. Then, there’s the fact that the whole drinking blood thing gives me the heebie jeebies.

To make matters worse, there are plans in motion to change the place vampires hold in the human world. And I’m caught in the middle, between the vampire I’m falling in love with and a group that wants to create a vampire dictatorship, with humans as slaves.

Now, all I want is my calm, normal life back. As my friend, Ricki, likes to say, “Be careful what you wish for because it might come and bite you on the ass.” I hate it when she’s right.

Last Call by Alice Clayton Cover Reveal

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

Last Call

by Alice Clayton

Cocktail Series # 2.5

release date : January 6, 2015

Summary:

From New York Times & USA TODAY bestselling author Alice Clayton, known for her “deliciously addictive” (The Book Vixen) novels, this Cocktail series novella reunites readers with Caroline and Simon from the wildly successful Wallbanger.

Simon and Caroline are back for another round of baking, banging, and big life changes. Settling in, but never settling down, Caroline has finally struck a balance between the professional and the personal. As one of the top interior designers in San Francisco, she travels all over Northern California between nook time with Simon.

Perpetual globetrotter Simon has cut his frequent flyer miles in half over the last year, preferring to balance his professional and personal life, as well.

The next step in their lives seems preordained—toasts, veils, and the aisle of rose petals. But when an accident on a photo shoot in Southeast Asia brings Caroline the most terrifying phone call she could ever imagine, she has to ask whether “till death do us part” is a more realistic prospect than faces most couples.

It’s been a grand adventure, and Caroline and Simon wouldn’t go out without the best surprise ending ever. One part sexy, one part laughter, a dash of exotic locales, and one pink nightie, mixed with passion, and you’ve got Last Call. Served with a side of Clive.

EXCERPT

“Sexy.” Kiss. “Impossibly sexy.” Kiss. Kiss. “Ludicrously sexy.” Kiss. Grope. Grope.

“Ludicrously sexy?” I asked, my eyes fluttering shut as his fingertips danced inside the edge of my bra.

“It’s a word.”

“So is howfastcanyoubenotsodressed?”

“That’s . . . let’s see . . . one, two, three—”

“You’re counting?”

“—four, five—”

“Simon?”

“Hmm?”

“You should stop the counting and go back to touching.”

“Oh. Babe. I’m getting back to it.”

And he really just was. His hands were sure, specific, practiced on my body. We’d been together long enough to know what each other liked, and what each other loved. The night before was full of love and passion. Tonight? Would be full of frantic, frenzied, crazy stupid, straight-up fucking.

Left Behind by Vi Keeland and Dylan Scott Blog Tour and Giveaway

By Miranda Arnold in Reveals & Tours

LEFT BEHIND

A New Adult Romance novel

New York Times Bestselling Author Vi Keeland and Dylan Scott

Blurb

Two stories so deeply intertwined, you’ll think you know how they intersect…but you’ll be wrong….

Zack Martin

The day I met Emily Bennett my whole world changed. Sure, we were just kids, but I was old enough to know my life would never be the same. She was my best friend. My destiny. My fate. I wasn’t wrong…I just didn’t know how twisted fate could be.

Nikki Fallon

After the death of my mother, moving from my dark and dreary trailer park to sunny California, I was focused on one thing – finding a sister I’d only just learned existed. Falling in love with him wasn’t part of the plan. But he filled a void I never knew was possible to fill. He had to be my fate. My destiny. Until the day I finally found out who my sister was…and how twisted fate could be.

Excerpt

He looks up and I watch his eyes take me in. Slowly. They rake over me, dropping from my eyes to my glossed lips down to my exposed shoulders. Taking his time, he follows the neckline of my simple, yet body contouring sundress, lingering when he reaches my full breasts. I’m sufficiently covered, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t aware that the dress showed off my assets well. Tight around my chest, gathering snuggly at the waist, with a scant amount of cleavage. Just enough coverage to still leave something for him to imagine. And I watch his face change as his imagination takes off running.

His eyes drift down my legs, tanned now from the eternal California sun. Momentarily he’s lost in what he sees and doesn’t even notice I’m watching him leer. Totally worth the extra effort getting ready tonight, I couldn’t be happier at the reaction I get. Eventually, his eyes make their way back up to mine and I arch one eyebrow, letting him know he’s been caught. A normal reaction might be to look embarrassed or perhaps even flustered a little. But not Zack. Instead, he flashes me a wicked grin. “You look incredible.” He’s the one doing the leering, yet I’m the one who ends up blushing.

Zack Martin

Until the day I finally found out who my sister was…and how twisted fate could be.

Review

Ok, so this is my very first Vi Keeland and my very first Dylan Scott book. I was shocked that it was YA as I do not typically read a ton of YA, but I can pretty much read anything as long as it is written well and has a fabulous story and Left Behind had both of those things in spades!

Nikki Fallon looses her mother but soon finds out after her mothers death that she has a twin sister that she has never met. She makes it her mission to find her sister but instead she finds Zack Martin; a sweet, sexy, broken boy.

Around Zack, I feel… at home. Like I belong. Something I never thought I’d feel again.

They find each other when both of them need a certain something in their lives to help them heal. They help each other do just that. Their story really is a sweet one full of teenage angst and adult problems.

“There’s just something solitary about them, but at the same time they draw people in…guide them…maybe even save a few, just by giving them light in the darkness.”

Just when you think these young lovers have it together, BAM, a huge plot twist happens that I sort of saw coming but didn’t really know how it all would play out. I do not want to give any spoilers, so I will just say that you will probably need some tissues and maybe some chocolate to help in the recovery process.

I really enjoyed this book. Fabulous writing and really great Young Adult story that is different than a lot of YA that I have read. This is a complete stand-alone full length novel with a very happy Happily-Ever-After.

The backstory that fans have been clamoring for—how Rock and Trisha fell in love—is the final installment in the Sea Breeze series from New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines. And don’t miss the sizzling Epilogue, where Abbi wraps up all the Sea Breeze couples’ stories!

Trisha Corbin always knew how to hide a bruise. With her momma’s boyfriends unable to keep their hands off of her, she had no choice. And as long as it meant the guys wouldn’t go near her little brother, Krit, it was worth it. But her days of dreaming that Prince Charming would ever come rescue her are far, far in the past.

Rock Taylor always had a plan. Through football, he would rise above the life he was born into. A full ride to play for a major college team was within his reach—assuming he didn’t let anything get in his way. But scoring a date with the hottest girl in Sea Breeze was proving harder than expected. Trisha Corbin was every man’s walking fantasy, and she wouldn’t even glance his way.

When Rock finally does get Trisha in his truck, it isn’t for a date. It’s because he picks her up on the side of the road, beaten and bruised and walking to the local hospital. Before Rock knows it, football is no longer his life. Trisha Corbin is. And he’ll do anything to save her. And keep her.

In addition to Rock and Trisha’s love story, this special novel contains the wrap-up stories of all your favorite Sea Breeze couples: Sadie and Jax, Marcus and Low, Cage and Eva, Preston and Amanda, Jess and Jason, Krit and Blythe, and Dewayne and Sienna.

Excerpt

Rock, The Past

I had tried words with her. I had tried
actions. I had tried everything to get her to realize that I wanted her. That I
wanted to be near her. That I wanted her to be mine.

She
was making me lose my mind.

I
stalked toward her and she backed up against the wall as she watched me, wide
eyed and confused.

Dammit
she was too sexy to be fucking cute too. That was shit guys couldn’t shake off.
Girls like her weren’t supposed to exist. They made men weak. She had me so
fucking tangled in knots it was painful.

I
placed my palms on the brick wall on either side of her head and stopped only
an inch from our bodies touching. “What do I have to do to get you to get this?
What, Trisha? Fuck, you’re all I can think about,” I said softly as my gaze
dropped from her eyes to those plump lips I played with in my fantasies.

The
tip of her pink tongue wet her bottom lip and I was lost.

My
mouth covered hers and the small gasp that broke from her lips was the only
chance I needed to slide my tongue onto the sweet heat of hers. I had kissed a
lot of girls. But never had I felt like my world was being completely rocked.

Trisha’s
hands slipped over my shoulders and she held onto me. And that was fucking
perfect. She wasn’t pushing me away. She was holding on to the ride and, damn,
it was one hell of a ride.

The
softness of her lips moved under mine and then she began to join in on the
kiss. It took all my willpower to keep from pressing her against the wall. I
had to be careful with her ribs. But I wanted my hands on her. I wanted to get
lost in how wonderful she felt.

When
she leaned into me and whimpered I broke the kiss and moved back instantly.
“Are you okay?” I asked, looking down at her ribs.

She
didn’t respond, and panic that I’d hurt her started to grip me. I found her
eyes and saw the same arousal in them that I had been feeling until that
whimper had scared me.

I
started to lower my mouth again, needing to taste her more.

“No,
wait,” she breathed, pressing both her hands on my chest this time.

“Did
I hurt you?” I asked her.

She
shook her head. “No, it’s just. I… we shouldn’t… why did you do that?”

I
closed my eyes and forced myself to be patient with her. Trisha had her issues
and trust was one of them.

“Because
I’m crazy about you. Because your lips are the prettiest damn lips I’ve ever
seen. Because you think you’re a burden to me when I just want to keep you
close to me all the time. Because you are making me lose my mind. Because I
don’t want to be your friend, Trisha. I want to be yours.”

Her
mouth fell slightly open as her blue eyes stared up at me in surprise. How did
she not already know all this? It wasn’t like I was being subtle.

“You’re…
you’re crazy about me?” she asked.

I
held back a laugh. “Yeah, and everyone seems to see it but you.”
