Locke by Harper Sloan Review

001

5 Smooches

kis kis1 kis2 kis3 kis4

Synopsis

Darkness is the only thing I see. Ever since the day my life changed. The day that everything and everyone I held close to me ceased to exist. The day I lost it all and the demons of my past consumed my every waking moment.

I tried to keep others at arm’s length. Tried not to let my darkness taint them. Ruin them. Harm them. And whether I want to admit it or not, as much as I wish I could keep them locked out, they refuse to leave. Refuse to let me suffer alone.

If I hadn’t been so focused on keeping those demons from flying free, I wouldn’t have missed how one perfect angel was able to sneak her way under my skin—refusing to let go. Making me want things I don’t deserve.

She consumes me. Her beauty knows no end. The love she promises tempts me every time she’s near. But that pure heart that makes her MY Emmy is the one thing I’m convinced I’ll destroy if I ever let her close.

I’m a broken man. A broken man with too much darkness in his soul to ever let her light shine upon me. But even that doesn’t stop me from craving her with every single breath in my body.

Review

“Since day one, she’s been the greatest temptation but I refused to take everything innocent that is Emmy and let my blackness take her.”

OMG OMG OMG! To say I have been waiting for Locke to come would be an understatement to say the least! The Corps Security Series by Harper Sloan is undoubtedly one of my all-time favorite series and I am both happy and sad that it is ending! Locke was a perfect way to wrap up such an emotional and action packed series. I have said since the day I read Cage that that was my absolute favorite book in the series but oh boy did Locke give him a run for his money!

“A broken man. A broken man not worthy of anything pure in this world. After all – everything I touch turns to shit anyway.”

We new going into this story that Locke was going to be so incredibly emotional and difficult to read but it far exceeded any expectation I had. Locke’s story broke my heart but Emmy, oh Emmy, her story completely shattered it! Maddox lost gave everything he had to the military when he was in it and came out a broken man. Between his insecurities and personal drama he honestly believes he does not deserve happiness.

“With a growl, I deepen the kiss, taking it to a level of predatory ownership. Our tongues swirl together, her breath mixing with my own and our mouths doing all the talking for us. In this moment, she owns me. Everything I’ve been denying us both comes to a screeching halt.”

Emmy ran after Coop’s death and because of this I went into this book thinking she was meek and maybe even a little weak. Oh boy, I had no idea. Let me say it again NO IDEA! You think you know her, you think you understand her but let me tell you . . . you  . . . know . . . nothing! Now her story is so intense I don’t want to give it away but just let me tell you that I was destroyed by it. I was a pregnant woman bawling in the corner wishing she could have a bottle of wine broken.

“I hate you,” “You fucking love me, woman.”

I have loved watching Maddox and Emmy fight their attraction to each other throughout the series and to finally get their story and see how it unfolds. Their sexual chemistry is intense and even more than that they just get each other. They have both had lives that are so different but both filled with such trauma and heartache that you can tell they just need each other. Even with us being able to see that they are perfect for each other they fight it for so long that when it happens you really just feel a complete feeling of relief!

“I’m burning to take her how I’ve been craving. To control her body. To claim he soul. To make her mine.”

So . . . Maddox Locke is as fucking HOT and SEXY as I knew he would be  . . . enough said!

“Give me the words, Em.”

Harper thank you so much for giving us this series and making me fall in love with Alpha men and the women who love them!

I belong to no one.

It’s the way I’ve chosen to live. Master of my own destiny, finding my way through this bullshit thing called life.

I learned from a young age how to get my way. Being a woman isn’t a weakness. It’s the opposite. I’ve spent my life being surrounded by four overbearing brothers, but I’ve never been a wallflower. Independent and unwilling to be tied down, I grabbed life by the balls and lived it to the fullest.

I was enjoying myself, minding my own business at my brothers wedding. Then WHAM.

Ever have a man walk into your life and alter your entire universe? My answer would’ve been no before he tempted me into his bed.

I’m talking about the big damn bang.

Everything that I thought was right, suddenly spins on its axis and bitch slaps me in the face.

Wednesday by Clare James Promotional Tour and Giveaway

Title: Wednesday

Author: Clare James

Age: New Adult

Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance

Publication Date:  9/29/14

Goodreads
Her. Him. Alone. Beach house. Every Wednesday.
Clothing optional.
 
Twenty-one-year-old Aria Prince has just moved
back to her hometown to start over after a painful divorce. She’s always prided
herself on being an early bloomer, but had no idea she’d be married, divorced,
and the mother of a toddler by twenty-one. Surely menopause was just a few
months away, especially considering the hot flashes and night sweats. Or was
that just exhaustion? 
 
Unlike her friends who were at school, going
to parties, and sowing their oats—wild and otherwise—Aria’s days were measured
in the number of orders she took at her family’s restaurant, the chapters she
read in her nursing text, the amount of Cheerios she cleaned up off the floor,
and the wet kisses she received from her son.
And that was just fine with her.
 
But when she began running into her former
best-friend Tristan Green—who was home taking care of his sick father—at every
turn, she remembered what it felt like to be just Aria. Not a single mother, or
sleep-deprived nursing student, or royal screw up. And though she didn’t even
have time to shave her legs, let alone consider a sex life, Tristan makes an
offer she’d be a fool to refuse.
 
Each day they’d give themselves to those who
needed them. Every day – except Wednesday. Wednesday they’d take what they
needed from each other.
Did she forget to mention Tristan was
gorgeous?
 
Or that they hated each other?
 
Well, you know what they say about the line
between love and hate … it’s a skinny-ass bitch. The question was, could they
keep their feelings out of it?

Twenty-one-year-old Aria Prince has just moved back to her hometown to start over after a painful divorce.

Review

It was a proposition that Tristan Green suggests to the girl that broke his heart in high school.  One night a week,Wednesday, to be exact. To get all his aggressions out of his system for the Aria Prince that choose the captain of the football team over the geek. Both Tristan and Aria are in town handing new  responsibilities, so why not indulge in one another, one day a week can’t be that bad right?!

One night, senior year, can change your world. Aria Prince and Alex Anders find out first hand. An unforeseen pregnancy has both Aria and Alex wed and moving to Iowa. But it’s not all beautiful and fairytales. Alex’s behavior turns into a resentment of having a family. Distancing himself from Cade and Aria happens very often. Leaving Aria to go back home to Florida and pursue nursing school to better her life for Cade. That’s when she runs into Tristan at a local grocery store. The chemistry between the two is there without a doubt. But as this novella continues, both have to work on their pasts and learn to communicate. A good job with the writing style and building of storyline. In this beautiful novella there is an HEA, witty banter, and blushing sexy time. 4 smooches for Wednesday by Clare James.

Can what they shared so long ago be restored? Or is Dustin fated to live a life of brokenness?
Excerpt
Prelude 
TEN YEARS AGO I fell in love with a boy. All it took was one sideways grin with his perfectly dimpled cheek for me to know I was a goner. My days and nights were consumed by him—if not physically, he was there mentally—always on my mind. I loved him with everything within me. The love we shared was the kind I thought would stand the test of time.
Everyone says your first true love isn’t in fact true, but more of a fling. That epic love comes from enduring every facet of life with that person. Rather it be happiness, sadness, loss, gain—you can’t truly love someone until it’s been tested.
The one day in a blink of an eye, the boy I loved was ripped from me. My overly religious parents didn’t like their daughter falling in love so young. It was simply unacceptable to them when I was supposed to focus on God, school, my future and nothing else.
He was my future and when they ripped my future away, I rebelled. I was barely showing by time graduation rolled around. Thank God, because I would have surely been an outcast at my new school. Not to mention what would have happened if my parents would have found out. There was no way I was letting them get their hands on the last thing I had of the boy I loved.
Eighteen, pregnant and sitting at the bus station, I found a friend. One that took me under his wing and I grew to love. It was then I realized the different types of love. He was everything I needed when I had nothing. I love him for the life he has brought me when every option I had was filled with uncertainty. I will forever be in his debt.
Ten years later, I ran into the boy I had loved, yet he’s no longer a boy. He’s a man. A deeply wounded man. Even though the flesh on his outside is still fully intact, nothing compares to the scars and pain he’s carried around on the inside for so long.
Ten years later and I still have the same feelings for him…but they seem so much more intense. Was my first love my one true love? Now that he’s reappeared in my life, my thoughts are consumed by him. But, now they are paralleled with guilt. I love two men, but I love them differently. And, as of right now, I only know one for sure loves me back.
I’m caught between what’s wrong and what’s right…what’s fair and what’s unjust. I know what my heart wants, but is what it wants, what’s right? Feelings can cloud moral judgment. I don’t want what I feel to take over what I know to be right. But, I’m having a hard time sorting out the differences. I’m walking an emotion packed tight rope, and I know I’m going to fall. I’m just unsure who’s going to catch me.

Excerpt:  Two Roads

He killed my father. I’m having his baby.

He killed my father. I’m having his baby.

Those two sentences are on repeat in my head, the agony of the rolling waves almost too much for me to bear.

And the agony of my nausea slams into me again with the violent rock of the waves that carry us to safer shores. I think. I hope.

But really, how safe am I? I’m suddenly questioning everything, stuck in a vortex of swirling paranoia and doubt. Is Jase on Dornan’s side? He killed my father. He didn’t even try to deny it.

I can’t believe it, I can’t accept it, and I just wish I could think straight for five fucking minutes. I wish I didn’t feel like this. I’ve left one prison, the one Dornan constructed for me, only to be trapped in one of my own making. The one in my mind that goes over and over and over again.

I’m curled as tight as I can get into a ball on a bed in the main cabin of the boat. We must be going pretty fast, or be in some crazy swell, because I swear if the boat tilted a little more, it’d capsize.

The door is closed. I made Elliot promise he wouldn’t let Jase come in here. I’m going to have to face him eventually, but I just can’t face him now. I don’t want to hear his excuses, if he even has any. He killed my father.

I’ve never been afraid of drowning before, but right now, I’m terrified. Drowning in this ship. Drowning in lies and in blood. Drowning in my own treacherous deceit. For so long, I’ve had only one goal – to destroy Dornan. I was too busy focusing on his suffering to notice or care about my own, and now, I feel so damned broken. I don’t know if I’ll ever be able to feel normal again.

In fact, come to think of it, I don’t even know what normal is.

I jump as a warm hand touches my shoulder.

“Hey,” a low voice murmurs beside me.

I turn over to see Elliot lying beside me, his pose mirroring mine. I can see water lashing against the small round window that looks out to the cruel sea we travel within.

“You’re shaking,” Elliot says, frowning as he reaches out a hand to me. Without thinking, I shrink back, an automatic response after three months of Dornan’s psychotic hands being the only ones to reach for me. Elliot’s face crumples into something resembling sadness—despair—as he reaches out to me again, slower this time, and pushes my lank hair back from my face.

Am I even here? I’m not sure. This could all be a dream. An elaborate, drug-induced hallucination. The thought makes me reel. Am I out? Or am I still in the basement? Is Elliot in front of me, or is it Dornan?

I scramble away from Elliot, clambering off the bed and backing up to the far end of the tiny room. Behind me, waves pound violently into the thick glass porthole, the only thing separating us from the deadly currents beyond. The movement of the waves catches my attention and I turn, mesmerized, as I press a trembling palm up to the freezing cold glass.

Am I here? Am I alive?

A nudge in my stomach, nothing more than a flutter really, propels me back to sanity.

Yes. I am here. I am here, while Elliot hovers behind me, and Jase and Luis are somewhere beyond the door that keeps me safe in this room.

And I am carrying a baby inside me. A baby that should never have existed.

And I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a terrible thing.

Excerpt: Rock Courtship (Book 1.5) A Rock Kiss Novel

“Beer—whatever you have on tap,” David said to the grizzled bartender and grabbed a stool, his eye on the rugby game in progress on the TV screen bolted above the bar.

He’d hardly taken a sip of his beer, the dark liquid bitingly cold, when he felt a presence at his back. Instincts honed by a childhood in one of the toughest areas of New York had him focusing on the mirror behind the bar to check out the situation before he turned. A big, bald, and heavily muscled male with a spiderweb tattoo on his neck was standing behind and just to the side of David, a smirk on his pockmarked face.

Belly heating, David turned with a slight smile. “Problem?”

The bald man bared his teeth and, laughing, looked to a table to his right. “Hear that, boys?” he called out to his friends. “The pussy rock star here wants to know if there’s a problem.”

Laughter and shouts from that particular table, while the rest of the men in the bar went quiet. David didn’t move, taking a measure of the players without letting it show. “Always know your opponent” had been one of the first things his father had taught him—Vicente Rivera didn’t believe in turning the other cheek; he believed in teaching his sons how to put bullies on the ground and keep them there.

“Yeah, there’s a problem,” the bald guy said, shoving at David’s shoulder. “This is a real bar for real men. Not pussies.”

Like that, then. Good. He was in the mood to do some violence. Lifting his beer, David took a long drink, then slammed it down… and punched Bald Head in the jaw at the same time that he kicked out with his foot to connect with the other man’s knee. The jackass went down like a ton of bricks.

Roaring in rage, the man’s friends came at David.

He grinned and started to show them what this “pussy rock star” could do.

It wasn’t until they’d broken a table and several chairs, and the bartender had called the cops that David realized Thea would have to deal with the fallout from this. Fuck, fuck, fuck, he thought as he was shoved into a cell alone, his erstwhile opponents in the cell opposite. Sliding down the graffiti-marked wall to the floor, he thought about the phone call the desk sergeant had said he could make and decided against it.

Fox had Molly with him—the band’s lead singer had been waiting for his girl to arrive since the instant Schoolboy Choir set foot in the city. As for Noah and Abe, they both had their own plans. He knew any one of the three men would drop those plans in an instant to come to his aid, but since the cops had made it clear he’d be spending the night in a cell no matter what, why mess up their plans?

“You do or say anything that’ll hit the media, you call me. Day or night. I hate surprises—so don’t you dare surprise me.”

Thea had given that order to all four of them when she’d agreed to act as their publicist. Her up-front nature and dedication to her job was part of the reason they’d hired her; Thea was the best and she didn’t take any shit from her clients. He wasn’t doing himself any favors by not calling her.

Right then, David couldn’t find it in himself to care. It wasn’t as if she could hurt him any more than she already had. And Jesus, how long was he going to carry this torch that was burning him alive? “Fuck, fuck, fuck,” he said aloud, banging the back of his head against the wall.

Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Nalini Singh’s new contemporary romance novella is pure hard rock and scorching heat…

What happens when the Gentleman of Rock decides to play dirty?

A drummer for the hottest rock band on the planet, David has a single, powerful weakness: Thea, the band’s publicist and the woman who steals his breath away with her every move.

Only problem is, Thea doesn’t date clients–or musicians. Emotionally scarred by a cheating ex, she’s not about to risk her heart with a man who has groupies buzzing around him like flies. Even if his sexy smile ties her up in knots.

What she doesn’t know is that David is a one-woman man…and he’s madly in love with her. David’s determined to prove he’s worth the risk, and willing to court her, step by exquisite step. Thea’s about to discover just how long and hard this handsome drummer can play.

Review

Rock Courtship is the second book in the Rock Kiss Series by Nalini Singh and it is a novella.  It is David and Thea’s story.  David is the drummer for a huge band, Schoolboy Choir.  He also been coined the Gentleman of Rock by his fans, and that he is.  David is sexy as sin but also sweet as pie; a deadly book boyfriend combination, if you ask me.

Thea is Schoolboy Choir’s publicist and she doesn’t date clients.  She has also been burned recently by someone she thought loved her.

Gorgeous eyes of light brown she’d seen turn gold with his mood, rich mahogany hair with strands of bronze, a strong, muscled body, and warm-toned skin that made her want to run her hands all over him-he couldn’t be more delicious.  Throw in that heartbreaking smile and his personality, and David was a bitably perfect package of man.

He was also a client.

David has wanted Thea since the moment he saw her.  He has been patient but the time for patience is over and he wants her now.

He was gone for her.  Seriously head over heels.

And so begin his memos.  Let me tell you, these memos are hilarious and fun and oh so sexy.  I love David for contacting ball-buster professional Thea in a way that she could not help but answer.  The memos made me love David; his wit, candor, and sexiness shined through in them.

He’d made her orgasm.

With nothing but the pressure of her thighs on her needy flesh and his words.  The damn man had figured out her weak point and he’d aimed his missile right at it:  her mind.

This is definitely an enjoyable hot little read and as usual, Nalini did not let me down; amazing lovable characters, beautiful writing, and sexy with a capital S!

EXCERPT:

“What’s so funny?” he looks down at his penis and back up at me with a frown.

“Nothing.” I straighten my mouth, losing the smile.

“Sophie,” he chastises. “You were looking down at my dick and laughing.”

“I didn’t laugh,” I correct him.

“Fine, then you were smiling at him like the two of you were sharing some inside joke. Everything good between the two of you?”

SYNOPSIS:

**Warning: this book contains an addictively filthy alpha male who will dampen your panties and own your days and nights. Proceed at your own risk.** 

Meet Colton Drake…

I have no idea why she auctioned off her virginity for a cool mill. Regardless, I’m now the proud new owner of a perfectly intact hymen. A lot of good that will do me. I have certain tastes, certain sexual proclivities. My cock is a bit more discriminatory than most. And training a virgin takes finesse and patience – both of which I lack.

Sophie Evans has been backed into a corner. With her sister’s life hanging in the balance, the only choice is to claw her way out, even if that means selling her virginity to the highest bidder at an exclusive erotic club. When Colton Drake takes her home, she quickly learns nothing is as it seems with this beautifully troubled man. Being with him poses challenges she never expected, and pushes her to want things she never anticipated.

A sinfully seductive erotic romance where everything has a price and the cost of love is the highest of all from New York Times & USA Today bestselling author, Kendall Ryan
