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.

Synopsis

Every event in our life causes a ripple effect that we never truly understand until the waters calm and everything reveals itself. It’s in that moment we truly see…

Adam Ryker, owner of Club Envy, has his rules. Relationships stay within the walls of the club. Outside of that, people are merely acquaintances. After having his heart broken, he’s not interested in the happily ever afters and white picket fences. Adam’s interests lie in his club and giving pleasure to women.

Ainsley Pearson wants to be free. She needs an escape from her life. Her best friend suggests Club Envy. From the moment Ainsley sets foot in the club, Adam decides he wants to be the exclusive one to bring her pleasure.

He wants her.

He needs her.

He has to have her.

Adam finds himself wanting more.

Will this unforeseen ripple in Adam’s and Ainsley’s lives be too much to overcome? Or will the one thing they never thought they deserved have an everlasting effect?

Ripple Effect is book one of The Effect Series.

Review

I enjoyed Ripple Effect by Kristin Mayer. Although it was decently long it read quickly in a The book revolves around Club Envy and one of the club’s 2 owners, Adam. Adam has very specific rules he likes to keep in place revolving around his personal relationships. While he enjoys having a monogamous sexual relationships within the walls of the club, he wants it to end there. At least he did until he met Ainsley and he starts questioning everything he thought was important.

Ainsley has been hurt in relationships and has some serious Daddy issues so she decides to follow a friends advice and join the exclusive Club Envy to relieve her desires while keeping her heart safe. What she doesn’t expect is to be instantly drawn to the sexy tattooed club owner giving her a tour. SHe knows she shouldn’t but she just can’t help but give in to her inner most desires with him.

Ripple Effect has many things going good for it. I like the characters and setting as well as it was super sexy. I think it might have been a bit sexier than my personal preference but with Adam and Ainsley getting on fairly frequently and while this might not be for me I do know a lot of people who would very much enjoy this style. There was a bit of a mystery surrounding leaked photos of the club and some side characters I very much liked and am interested in seeing where they go in future books.

If you enjoy a sexy novel in a club setting with characters who are instantly attracted to each other and have some great chemistry than this book might just be for you!

EXCERPT:

“Adam…”


Ainsley’s voice invaded my thoughts, but she wasn’t due here for
a bit.
 
“Adam?”
 
The bed dipped, and I felt a small hand on my arm. It was
Ainsley’s touch.
 
Hell, this is going to be the best dream I’ve had in ages.
 
“I’ll come back tomorrow. Sleep tight, Adam.”
 
Lips brushed my forehead and then the bed rose again. I heard
footsteps.
 
Shit, she’s really here. I pushed off the bed and
called out hoarsely, “Ainsley, wait.”
She stopped and turned. “It’s okay, Adam. I can come back later.
You’re exhausted. You need your rest.”
 
I kept blinking the haze away. She was in white capris that
hugged her slim figure, a tight blue T-shirt, and that damn pink wig.
 
Hot. As. Hell.
 
She played with the ring on her right finger. I was pretty sure
that meant she was unsure of something.
 
Shit, I don’t want her to be unsure about staying with me.
 
I did the first thing that came to mind. I walked straight up to
her and started kissing her. The small gasp right before my lips touched hers,
told me she hadn’t expected me to come after her like this. Her body needed to
take over her brain that was probably telling her that I didn’t care if she
were here or not. That was the furthest thing from the truth. Her being here
with me was all that I had thought about through the day.
 
Ainsley opened her mouth in shock, and I took advantage by
pushing my tongue inside. By her rigid posture, I could tell she was still
thinking with her brain. It was obvious when she let the moment take over. She
became clay in my hands as her body took control. I needed her in that place,
so she wouldn’t try to leave right now.
 
I need this. I want her.

Six years ago… Elliot’s world changed forever.

He couldn’t walk away from the girl who was at death’s door, the girl who was being pursued mercilessly by the men who’d failed to finish the job they started when they attacked her and left her for dead. The Gypsy Brothers.

He stole away with her, into the night, throwing away a promising career in the LAPD in the process. He never once regretted the things he did to protect her, to give her a second chance at life. He loved her even as she consumed his universe.

But in the end, she became his poison, his darkness, and so he left…

He drove away, and went back to where it all started. Venice Beach. The place where dreams are broken, the place where power is measured in drops of blood.

He swore he’d avenge her past, but life had other plans.

Because nothing lasts forever … not even ink.

Amazon

Excerpt from Forever Dark

She turns around and wraps her arms around my neck, her hips grinding against mine. I do the same and smile slightly when I feel her body curve around mine.

“What are you doing to me?” I whisper in her ear. She could stab me in the heart at this point and it wouldn’t hurt as much as it does to see her control me like this. I want to walk away but in reality, in my fucked up sense of reality, a world without her in it isn’t worth living.

Her eyes water and I hold her closer, I want to fucking kiss her in front of everyone. I want to fuck her against the wall in front of this room just to let them know she’s mine. My face is close enough that I smell her sweetness, the coconut of her shampoo but she smells like me too. She smells like my sweat. My scent is all over her and I like that.

“What?” she asks, her breath hitting my skin. It sends shivers through my chest.

You.” Pulling back, I watch her reaction feeling her chest heaving against mine. I can feel the beat in hers thumping wildly against mine. “What are you doing to me?”

She hesitates to answer.

I curve an eyebrow at her, she stops moving.

Nothing.

She gives nothing.

 

Excerpt from Forever Light

I roll onto my back and stare up to the sky. It’s a clear cold night with the stars shining brightly. “I didn’t treat you right, Macy, not the way I should have.” She’s quiet. “I took your love for granted. When you gave me your virginity our sophomore year I didn’t realize then what you were sharing with me.” I huff. “I should have loved you more but I didn’t take the time. I didn’t realize what was right in front of me.”

Macy crawls over and lies against my side and holds my hand.

“See,” I try to smile but it fails. “I should have done that. I feel like I’m not good enough for you.” My throat feels tight.

“Landon, you are. This is you and I love you with your flaws and all. If I didn’t I wouldn’t be here.” Macy squeezes my hand. “I’m been holding on hoping that one day you’d see me again. You’d come back to me.”

“My light. You’re my light in the darkness.”

Macy’s eyes glass over. “Landon, I’m all out of tears. I’m crumbling and for once I need you. I. Need. You.”

I roll over and kiss her with no hesitation. “I’m here, baby.”

I rest my forehead on hers. “I love you, Landon.”

All the fight leaves me, I am no longer angry. I am nothing without Macy in my life and it’s taken passing through the gates of hell to get to this point. “I love you too.”

I lie back and Macy lays her head on my chest. We’re quiet for some time.

“Are we okay?” I ask.

She sighs, “We’re always okay.”

“Well, that’s a problem.”

“I’m just thankful I have you. All the other shit can be worked out.”

That night Macy and I slept out in the hammock. We never did find out if we still have it but I know we do. That night wasn’t about that. It was about us finding our way back to each other. It was about finding my forever light.

 

A stay-at-home mom, Chelsea spends her days drinking entirely too much caffeine, baking sugar-sweet treats she never eats, playing on Pinterest, and jotting down notes for her novels. A dreamer at heart, she’s been creating happily-ever-afters. She’s a lover, a writer, a dreamer, would rather type than speak, wants to remember everything, loves lots of ice in her drinks, and is slightly introverted.

“That’s why you took me to your place?  To have your way with me since you’re a pro surfer now and could probably have any guy you wanted?”  I responded in all seriousness.

“Well, I mean, no it’s not like that.  I just-” I shut her up by leaning in and giving a chaste kiss, followed by a deeper, open mouthed kiss.  Her hands found the back of my head and she started kneading and pulling on my hair. 

It felt fucking amazing to be able to feel wanted again.  Her lips were soft and plump while her tongue took a moment to find a good rhythm. She definitely wasn’t an expert at it. 

Cami.  I pushed the thought to the back of my mind.  I deserved to live again.  I wanted this.  For the first time in almost a year, I wanted to be with someone.   

Grasping the hem of my shirt, Mica fumbled to pull it over my head.  I smiled thinking how inexperienced she was.  Standing up, I pulled on her top and she stood, raised her arms, and watched without movement as I took in her beautiful body.

 

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.

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.

Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.

Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?

Excerpt

“Are you gonna sit down or not?” he asked.

“I’m really uncomfortable with”—I gestured toward the woman—“this.” “That’s not exactly my problem,” he said, dropping a hand to rest on her head. “But if it’s an issue, you can take her place.”

“No,” I said quickly.

“Then sit the fuck down and tell me why you’re here.”

His voice tightened, and I realized he was running out of patience. Fair enough—he obviously had other things on his . . . ahem . . . mind. I carefully perched on the edge of the couch, facing the door. This was actually better, I realized. I didn’t have to look at him now. Although I could feel the woman’s movements through the furniture frame and that was very creepy.

“My cousin’s daughter is somewhere at this party,” I said quickly. “Her name is Jessica, and she has very poor judgment. I’d really like to get her out of here and home before she does something completely stupid.”

Like set the building on fire.

“You got shit timing.”

I didn’t respond, because what the hell would I say? So far as I knew, Hallmark didn’t make a “Sorry I Interrupted Your Oral Sex” card.

Review

The succinctly stated, yet absurd opening completely reels you in. London, poor London. You may not like her. Hell, I had a hard time through the middle half of the book, but she does end up proving herself in the end. There’s a lot of buildup with London and Picnic and their potential relationship. Pic makes it clear that he wants to fuck her. We already knew that he had a thing for her. But the complications just keep coming out of the woodwork. She has a boyfriend. Check. They haven’t been intimate yet, but he’s a deputy for the Sheriff’s department and has been really sweet to her. Check. London’s young cousin Jessica who she has been raising is causing all sorts of problems. Check. With the Reapers, no less. Oh crappity, shit just got real. The beginning of the well, beginning I suppose, is London has to ask Picnic for help with Jessica while she is at a party at the Armory. It’s there that Pic makes his intentions clear and London suddenly finds herself between a hot, hard, biker man and her sweet sensitive boyfriend back home. What’s a girl to do? Probably the hardest lesson London had to learn during this book was that appearances can be deceiving.

As we all know, Pic is wise. He’d have to be, being the big man that he is. He, of course, knows things that London does not. He tries to guide her to the truth, but she is really blinded by her love for her cousin Jessica. It’s almost like she doesn’t have any sense of self-preservation. Her one focus, her only goal is making sure Jessica is all right. This leads her to many, many problems. Some crazy stuff happens, all the while her and Picnic start something up. Granted, everything happens over the course of a week or so, but the main problem I had with London was that she didn’t confide in Picnic. It made everything a million times worse for her, and to be honest, I don’t blame Picnic for his reaction.

Without giving too much away, the action in this fourth installment of the Reapers gets insane with houses blowing up, girls running away from home, the cartel using humans as pawns in their sick games, people jumping out of windows, warehouses blowing up, and bodies stacking up on all sides. That’s what I love most about these books. The ongoing complexity of the war the Reapers are facing and the budding relationships that could change everything. It’s intense. It’s scary. And there are twists and turns to keep you entertained. I can’t wait for the next one!
