Synopsis

Sexy, tatted up, underwear model Marcus Grayson is every girl’s dream—or more likely worst nightmare. He’s a player, a self-proclaimed bachelor for life, and he’s got no problem living up to his man-whore status. But when his older sister’s friend comes back from the past, he may just have the chance to turn some of his adolescent fantasies into reality. 

Tessa Bradley is a self-sufficient, take-no-bull, single mother—well, now she is. Finally rid of her abusive, alcoholic ex, she’s making a new life for herself and catching up with old friends; the ones she was forced to break ties with because of her controlling husband. When she runs into Marcus, her friend Riley’s once-adorable turned smoking-hot little brother, she has no idea how he’s about to rock her world.

 

Review

I have had a pretty good run lately with 5 star reads so I wanted to make sure I was being critical enough with this review, but when I think back on this book, I can’t really think of any flaws so it was an easy 5/5!

Marcus is gorgeous, tattooed and a successful underwear model. He is also a notorious playboy who has never been in a relationship before; No woman has ever held his attention for longer than a quick roll in the hay. That is until his former childhood crush, Tessa, just happens to get a job at his agency and now Marcus can’t get her off his mind!

A lot has happened to Tessa since she last saw Marcus. She is now raising her infant son, Luca all alone, living in constant fear that her abusive ex-husband will get out of rehab and come looking for them. Reconnecting with Marcus also brings a reunion with his sister and Tessa former best friend, Riley. With both Riley and Marcus back in her life maybe Tessa can finally start healing.

Tessa_zps23b762bf

The attraction between the two is instant and the consummate bachelor is finding himself wanting to spend all of his time with both Tessa and her son. Marcus is ready to try out this “relationship” thing but Tessa on the other hand can’t understand why this young sexy model would want to get himself tied down to a single mother with major baggage. She is willing to have a good time but is sceptical about the idea of something serious with Marcus.

I absolutely fell in love with Marcus! He was such a sweetie and so super sexy!!! This playboy fell hard and fast! Tessa, although scarred by her past came across as a strong woman, determined to make a better life for herself and her son. I found that these characters had great chemistry and I truly enjoyed their journey to happiness. If you like romance, steamy sex scenes, suspense and even a few laughs this is the book for you! Book two is Riley’s story and I can’t wait to dig into that one as well.

That kid that could be mine.

I get up and let the empty bottle drop to the floor. The woods are eerily quiet, as if it can sense my anger. As if it knows the bitterness that lingers in my veins, as if it knows the burn of not knowing anything.

Like the woods, I’m left in the dark. Completely.

Branches and twigs crunch under my feet as I increase my pace to a gentle jog. And again, to a slow run. Then to a sprint.

The need to know increases with every footstep, as evenly paced as the ticking of the clock. It doesn’t matter that I’ve probably drunk too much beer to be here or that we’ve only been back for a matter of days.

I can’t be in this shithole full of memories without knowing. I can’t move on until I know. I can’t forgive her for a single fucking thing until I know—and even then, maybe I won’t be able to.

Maybe she’s unforgivable.

Instead of knocking on the back door like I did yesterday, I round the side of the house to the front door. The front room light glows softly through the curtains, but the rest of the house is dark.

My chest heaves with the exertion of my run here and I grab the doorframe to balance myself. I’m definitely too fucking drunk for this conversation, but what the hell.

I bang on the door, once, twice, again and again and again. “Sofie! Open the fuckin’ door!”

“Shut up!” she hisses, yanking it open. “The hell’re you doing here?”

I smirk, leaning against the wall. “Shouldn’t I be askin’ you that, princess?”

“Are you drunk?” Her voice rises a little at the end, and her eyes widen.

Those eyes. Fuck, those baby blues that have always undone me.

“Drunk? No. If I was drunk I’d be sitting at home like a miserable bastard and not here facing the cause of my misery.”

“You’re being an asshole. I don’t have to listen to this.”

She pushes on the door, but I wedge my foot in front of it. I let go of the wall and grab the edge of the door.

“Actually, you do.”

She can’t overpower me, and she knows it, because she lets up and the door swings open. “Why are you here, Conner?”

“You have a kid.”

She smacks her lips together. “Yep.”

“When? When did you have her?”

Sofie takes a deep breath in and presses her hands to her stomach. They’re shaking, even as she links her fingers to hide it. I can see that fucking tremble.

She whispers something but I’m too pre-occupied by her hands to hear it.

“What?”

“August last year,” she repeats, still a whisper.

August. Last year. My stomach clenches as I meet her eyes. “When? When in fuckin’ August, Sofie?”

“August fifteenth.” Her voice hitches halfway through the ‘fifteenth.’

Almost seven months to the day she walked out on me and the rest of Shelton Bay.

Adrenaline hums through my body, and I stare at her. At the tears building in her eyes, the quiver of her lips, the bob of her throat as she swallows harshly.

It’s no different from the burn in my chest, the twisting of my stomach.

“Is she mine?”

She shudders and a tear drips from her eye.

“Sofie. Is. She. Mine?!”

By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies – usually wine – and writes books. Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love. She likes to be busy – unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.

Excerpt

See, this is what annoys me. I don’t care

if a guy is checking me out. Not tonight anyway. I’m just here to say goodbye

to people I’ve come to love over the years. This night isn’t about getting laid

and after this morning I feel that I need to tone it back. The ‘clingers’ are

just getting too frequent.

I think all of this in the second it

takes me to turn my head (like I’m just looking around the bar) and then my

eyes lock on a delicious slice of heaven sent straight from the Gods. And he is

looking right at me. I try to keep my composure, but my body’s reaction to him

is instantaneous. Everything tightens. Especially my super-secret places.

Even sitting I can tell that he’s tall,

very tall, has short dark hair that stands up in different directions, like he

runs his hands through it a lot. His jaw is perfectly square and clean shaven;

his nose straight, with what appears to be a slight bump on the bridge that

adds character to his face. His body is lean and clearly defined in a maroon

shirt that is tight around his arms, chest and shoulders. His skin is a golden

tan color, and somehow I can tell that he must work outside a lot. He doesn’t

seem the type to lay in a tanning bed. His legs look long and powerful in a

pair of faded jeans that had to have been designed just for him. He may be

fully clothed, but I can tell that he is an exquisite package of pure

muscle.

His eyes lazily work their way up my

body, causing me to shiver, until they stop to look into mine. I can feel

myself panting, like a dog in heat, and I would be embarrassed if it wasn’t for

the fact that he obviously notices, and a slow, sexy, half grin spreads across

his face.

I immediately take back every negative

thing I have ever said about half grins in my life. They are the sexiest

fucking things God ever deemed necessary to give to man. My ‘gina agrees whole

heartedly as it begins to (literally) quiver.

 

After a few minutes in Swoonville, I

decide that my night of ‘no sex’ was just a delusional thought, during a weak

moment. I turn back to my friends, smile at them, pick up my drink and walk

towards the bar. I don’t feel bad about not saying goodbye to them; they know

how it is.

I sidle up to the bar and take a seat

next to him, surprised it isn’t already taken, and lift my bottle of beer up

towards the bartender, like that was my purpose for coming over here in the

first place. I can see his smile deepen through my peripheral vision. Well, at

least he’s not dense and can figure out what I’m doing. Hopefully, he plays

along…

The bartender brings my beer and sets it

down in front of me. I reach in my pocket to pull out money, but Mr. Sexy Half

Grin places a five on the bar stating, “I’ve got it.” Thank God.

I turn to him and smile, “Thanks.”

He turns his body towards me and smiles,

full on. No half smile. Just a full playful smile and I’m pretty sure my vagina

has a seizure.

“Well, that’s the way the game is played,

right?” he asks me straight out. How rude!

“You know, you shouldn’t point it out,” I

inform him. “It’s rude and could wound my girlie pride.”

He chuckles, annnd… another seizure for

my ‘gina.

“I have a feeling you can take it,” he

says lifting his beer to his mouth.

Yeah, I can take it. I could take it

all.

Wow. Those lips are fucking sexy. Like,

sexy, sexy. World Peace could be made with those lips.

“What’s your name?” he asks me.

“Ree,” I reach out my hand to shake his.

“Ree?” he asks grabbing my hand, not

shaking it. Just holding it, making electricity shoot up my arm.

“Yeah,” I sigh, exhausted from having to

explain this to everyone I meet, “It’s short for Azaria.”

“That’s a beautiful name,” he says in all

seriousness and my eyes widen incredulously, “What’s wrong with it?”

“It’s ridiculous. My parents must have

been high when they named me,” I explain, what I think is, unnecessarily; my

mind

 

notices that he is still holding my hand and I

don’t even care.

  “What’s your name?” I

ask him.

MeetTheAuthor

My first book, Darkness Deserved, released July of 2013. It is the first book in the Shattering the Darkness Series.

I’m crazy and love my friends, family and booze.

I used to never read when I was growing up. My mother always tried to get me to read and I wanted no part in it. I figured why read when it’s going to be a movie? (Yes, like I said crazy.)

Well a few years ago I jumped on the Twilight band wagon. I’ve always loved supernatural movies and when I saw the previews I knew I wanted to see it. And see it I did. I immediately went out and bought the books and became hooked.

They came to me at a very special time in my life.

I discovered I loved to read and found my nitch in the paranormal and romance genre. I started a book club with a cousin and all of a sudden these thoughts kept assaulting my brain.

So I wrote them down. Then, deciding that I wanted to write, I contacted some wonderfully amazing women who helped me through the process.

I now have three books under my belt and am still learning constantly.

My Life Series, is by far my favorite to write. There are some events in the story that are based on actual events that have happened in my life.

I hope you enjoy reading them as much as I enjoyed living them.

Rolling my head in the direction of the voice that just spoke my maiden name, I came face to face with none other than Luke Wellington. Utterly surprised by his presence I quickly tried to regain my composure, “It’s actually Savannah Worthington,” holding up my four carat diamond ring and matching wedding band I flashed it in front of his face and smiled, “I got married a little less than a year ago, so did Brooke.”

Luke smiled, reaching up to run his fingers across my cheek and I shuddered at his familiar touch, “I heard the two of you settled down, and with none other than our biggest competition, Worthington Squared.” Winking at me as his hand lifted his drink to his mouth.

“We did, Brooke and Josh are so in love, they’re even expecting a baby. We are so thrilled for them; all she talks about is being a mom.” I took a sip of the delicious rose colored drink that filled my champagne flute.

“And what about you,” Luke asked, “are you happy too? Will you and Jake be bringing a baby into the world anytime soon?”

Taking in a deep breath I pondered his question before answering, “Of course I’m happy, I love Jake, he is perfect, it’s just…” Faltering slightly I tried to form the rest of my sentence.

Luke’s eyes peered into mine. He may have turned mine and Brooke’s lives upside down, but regardless of all of that he still knew me like that back of his hand.

“What is it Sav?” He probed, sounding concerned.

Standing up I leaned in and hugged Luke tightly, “I’ve got to run; it was great seeing you, Luke.” Rotating on my heels I darted out before he could say goodbye and hustled back toward Hourglass to retrieve my car. Praying for the sake of my own relationship that this was as close to Luke as I’d ever be again.

Saddles and Sin by Jessie Evans Review

23043852

4 Smooches!

kis3 kis4 kis kis1

Synopsis

From New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Jessie Evans.

Even sweet cowboys have a sinful side…

Robert Lawson—Bubba to his friends—is six feet, four inches of tall, dark, and handsome cowboy, with a panty-melting voice and a face made to launch a country music career. But when his family’s ranch hands go down with the flu, Robert cancels his high-profile auditions in Austin, and returns home to Lonesome Point to help out. Fortune and fame are all well and good, but family and friends come first. Besides, he’s ready to enjoy some off-the-clock time with his manager, a woman who has him dying to show her what a good man can do to a woman when he’s given permission to be bad.

Marisol Medina has been looking for her golden ticket since she became a country music manager. A scandal with one of her clients nearly destroyed her, but now she’s close to launching an artist who will make her career. Robert Lawson has it all—talent, charisma, and a naughty side that flicks all of Marisol’s kinkier switches. But Robert is off limits. She refuses to mix business and pleasure, even if it will be hell resisting temptation while spending a week at the Lawson family ranch, doing her best to convince Robert to ditch the saddle and embrace his future as a star.

But as Marisol and Robert grow closer and the passion between them ignites, Marisol must decide if fear is stronger than love, or if a chance at forever is worth breaking all her rules.

Review

Robert “Bubba” Lawson is a tall drink of water…hot steamy water! He’s the ultimate “good ‘ol boy” with a bit of bad boy behind closed doors.

Growing up on a ranch in the small Texas town of Lonesome Point, being the youngest of three boys raised by his momma to treat people with respect (especially women) and that family, loyalty, and friendship is always most important, Bubba never would have guessed that he’d be following his dreams of being a Country Music singer/songwriter and possibly upsetting his family along the way. Bubba tried his hand at his dreams at an open mic night where he met and in an instant knew with one look at the brown eyed delicate firecracker that Marisol was the one for him…the manager for him.

Marisol Medina is force to be reckoned with in business, she knows what she wants and she goes after it…at least the old Marisol would. She’s been betrayed, shamed, and utterly broken. Can she ever learn to trust again? Allow herself to love…or worse, be loved? From the moment she heard Robert’s smoke and velvet voice, Marisol was drawn to him, his charisma… he would be her golden ticket…or would he be her heartache?

This is my first book to read of Jessie’s…but not my last! Saddles and Sin is a rough, steamy ride that must be ridden! Jessie brings the characters to life and makes you feel the emotions of Bubba and Marisol! I laughed, I cried, I yelled…it was all there! Robert “Bubba” is the perfect Alpha Cowboy! He is dominant in all the right places… Marisol is tainted and scared, justifiably so…and Bubba is the man to show her how to trust in people and learn to love again as well as giving her the kink that she craves!

“I want to work with you, I want to be your friend, but I also want to make you come.”  –Robert “Bubba” Lawson

The chemistry between Bubba and Marisol is unbelievable! Have some ice chips ready when you’re reading this because you’ll definitely warm up! Although the romance moves quickly, it’s heartwarming and left me wanting more. I anticipated the next move, only to have something better waiting. This is a MUST READ!

Fix Up and Change Up by Stephanie Witter Cover Reveals

FIX UP (Patch Up #2)

Coming out October 14th

Fix Up on Goodreads: Fix Up (Patch Up, #2)

 
Blurb:

Saying “I love you” doesn’t erase the old scars and fears.

“I love you to insanity. I’m not even sure if it’s a good thing.” — Duke

Skye is trying to overcome what happened with Sean. Now that she’s slowly healing, both physically and mentally, she’s determined to do something she should have done sooner.

She’s meeting twice a week with a new, very young therapist, Dr. Marshall.

There, she’s able to talk freely, unwind, and question things. Most of the sessions she talks about herself and her hangups, along with her relationship with Duke, which is still on rocky ground.

“I want to taste his sweat. I want to hear his groans. I want to feel him inside of me.” — Skye

But while Skye is slowly getting back on her feet, Duke feels like he’s drowning. He’s afraid of pushing her too much, of initiating intimacy, and it’s weighing between them. Moreover, knowing that he’s not the one she’s talking to anymore is making him feel things he never thought possible.

“It’s a matter of when I’ll stop fighting.” — Duke

As days pass, Duke is showing over and over how vulnerable he truly is and how Skye has more power over him than she ever imagined.

When Skye sees how they keep hurting each other, she’s determined to do everything in her power to make things right, no matter what the cost. But one thing is still sure; she can count on Duke whenever she needs him, even if they disagree and fight. When Duke loves, he loves with everything he’s made of, the good and the bad.

“Loving her is confusing, making me afraid of myself and what I can do … because I can break us both.” — Duke
 
 
 
Change Up (Patch Up #3)
 
Coming out late November.
Change Up on Goodreads: Change Up (Patch Up, #3)
 
Blurb:

In Patch Up and Fix Up you had Skye and Duke’s story. Now, it’s time for Derek and Kate to find their path.

He fights for the people he loves.

She fights against love.

Kate Andrews is starting her second year of college in Seattle. She is happy to leave Chicago and her dysfunctional family behind to be with her friends again. Growing up she thought that her parents’ loveless marriage was all her father’s fault, but that summer she discovered that things are so much more complicated in life and love.

Her mother is bipolar. That doesn’t mean her father isn’t unfaithful, nor does he support her and her choices. Additionally, he isn’t a great father or husband, but it brings a new perspective in her life; the way she envisions love.

Derek Williams graduated college a few months ago, and while he moved back in again with his single mother and teenage brother, he never thought that he would be struggling with two crappy jobs. He is not succeeding in either of his jobs or in his countless plans for the future.

Instead, he’s trying to bring back his brother and set him on a straight path, while trying to avoid the wrong crowd hounding him, thanks to his brother. Together with fighting his mother on her lack of support in their family, this all has caused chaos.

“Yes, my life is a fucking mess. I have nothing for that girl who deserves everything, and yet I still can’t just sit on my ass and wait for the next asshole to pursue her.‘’ — DEREK

Both of them are very different. Their upbringing is opposite; their vision of love and life contrast, and yet …

“I want to open up to it, open up to the possibility of heartbreak even if I’m scared to death. I’m ready to change up.” — KATE

They’re both still hung up on each other.

They can’t forget that one night they shared months ago, can’t ignore their attraction and quickly maturing love. They match in every way that matters, but time and time again their respective families are getting in the way.

“He’s the commitment kind while I’m anti-commitment.” — KATE

Are they willing to fight for each other? Is Kate ready to risk her comfort and everything else for love? Is Derek prepared to chose which battles are worth fighting for?

“It’s never been friendship, and it’ll never be.’’ — DEREK

Some things won’t stay buried…

Drake Jefferson has been missing for years.

Wanted by the very people who hired him, he left behind his job, his life, and his love to pursue a career of the criminal variety.

Caitlin Saunders, Drake’s ex-wife and one of the AFP’s best analysts, is doing her best to move on after losing the love of her life. Originally a part of the team that managed Drake’s operation, she gave up her field role the day she realized he’d turned. And she hasn’t trusted a soul since.

One phone call in the middle of the night will force her back to active duty – a suspect in an ongoing case has been captured and they insist they have information on Drake – they just aren’t willing to talk to anyone but her.

That information will change everything she believed to be true and send her down a path that could land her in the exact position Drake ended up in.

It will take every skill set she has, just to keep her head above water as she learns that right and wrong don’t always follow the rules, and that when you’re fighting for love – there are no rules.

Australian born and bred, she writes romance revolving around her authentically Aussie characters as well as a biographical trilogy based on an ex-Sydney sex worker, named Angelien.

Lilliana feels that the world should see Australia for more than just it’s outback and tries to show characters in more of a city setting.

When she isn’t writing, she wears the hat of ‘wife and mother’ to her husband and four children. Before Lilliana turned to writing, she worked in a variety of industries and studied humanities and communications before transferring to commerce/law at university. Originally from Sydney’s Western suburbs, she currently lives a fairly quiet life in suburban Melbourne.

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.

TRAILER:

EXCERPT:

Down the hall, I saw Gabriella, dressed in a white sundress with her long, dark hair pulled high into a ponytail.

What the fuck? Tell me she’s not knocking on Tyler’s door.

My stomach coiled into knots and I held my breath as I waited on whoever was behind the door to answer. Please don’t let it be Tyler. Slowly, the door opened just a crack and when I saw who was there I gritted my teeth tight, the pain exploding into my head. It was Tyler, wearing only a white towel around his waist. Blood boiling, I watched as he opened the door and she walked in, kissing him on the cheek as she passed.

Frozen in place, I clenched my hands into tight fists and felt the anger boil through my veins. Before Tyler shut the door, he stopped and slowly directed his attention to me. Immediately, he glanced into his room and then back at me, wide-eyed and shaking his head. “Kacey, no,” he shouted. “It’s not what you think.”

Turning on my heel, I glared at him one more time over my shoulder before taking off down the hall.

“Kacey, stop! Please, beautiful . . .”

I didn’t stop; I kept going. The last thing I wanted was to be made a fool of in front of everyone—possibly people who knew my brother and who could recognize me. Instead, I kept running in hopes of getting as far away as I could, away from Tyler’s voice screaming my name.

Looking back, I didn’t see him behind of me, but when I turned around, I ran right into a set of arms that closed tightly around my waist.

“Kacey, what the hell are you doing here?”

Immediately, I froze and glanced up into the same set of sea green eyes I used to look at almost every day of my life. “Paxton,” I breathed.

Tyler shouted my name and Paxton instinctively held me tighter, protectively.  “What’s going on?” he demanded, glaring down at me.

He looked like he was about to leave anyway since he was dressed in a black T-shirt and jeans with his bag slung over his shoulder. Quickly, I pushed him toward one of the doors. “I can explain, but first, I need you to get me out of here.”

“Is that Rushing calling after you?”

“Yes, now let’s go!”

Keeping his arm around me, he rushed me toward the door and out into the heat-filled night. What the hell was I going to do now?
