“Yes. I haven’t seen it.”

Can’t find it anywhere…”

“And this is a surprise, how?” I slipped my hands into my back jean’s pockets. “Jimmy, you own more clothing than Cher, Brittney, and Elvis, put together. Things are bound to go missing.”

Synopsis

Stay up all night with the sexy rockers in Stage Dive, the epic New Adult series from New York Times bestselling author Kylie Scott, author of Lick and Play.

As the lead singer of Stage Dive, Jimmy is used to getting whatever he wants, whenever he wants it, whether it’s booze, drugs, or women. However, when a PR disaster serves as a wake-up call about his life and lands him in rehab, he finds himself with Lena, a new assistant to keep him out of trouble.

Lena’s not willing to take any crap from the sexy rocker and is determined to keep their relationship completely professional, despite their sizzling chemistry. But when Jimmy pushes her too far and Lena leaves, he realizes that he may just have lost the best thing that ever happened to him

Review

“You don’t seem very impressed by me, Lena. Am I not impressive to you?” “Sure you are. I guess I’m just a bit busy getting fired right now to fully appreciate the magnitude of: the moment.” Hands on his, I looked him in the eye. He was cute and I bet that smile worked on lots and lots of women. But it wouldn’t be working on me. “Rest assured, later I’m going to freak right out.” He leaned against the doorframe. “I’ve got your word on that?” “Absolutely.”

Oh Jimmy, Jimmy Jimmy, I did not know I would love you so much. I can honestly say I am head over heels in love with Mal and going into this book I was worried that I would not love cold and bruiting Jimmy with the same force. Boy was I wrong. While my love for Jimmy is different than my love for Mal it is still there and strong as can be. Kylie Scott does such a fabulous job of writing men that are fun and dark and I can never get enough of them.

lead1

Jimmy has addiction issues and for this he needs a bit of supervising. This is where quick witted and not easily impressed Lena comes into play. After Mal recognizes a spark in her he is convinced she will be the perfect “companion” to keep lead singer, Jimmy, in line. And OH BOY is she ever. Lena is the perfect balance to rash and somewhat irrational, ill-tempered Jimmy. She is not afraid to say what is necessary to help him stay on track and since she doesn’t walk around idolizing his every step Jimmy finds a way to tolerate her presence.

“Verbally sparring with Jimmy was fast becoming more fun than I’d had with other men naked. Which was sad. Real sad.”

It doesn’t take long for Jimmy and Lena to fall into a routine that almost resembles friendship. But Jimmy is determined to keep it as just that, friendship (maybe with a few extras on the side but still friendship.) It is not easy for quick tempered Jimmy to get along with well anyone and he is not ready to let something as silly as a relationship mess up this camaraderie that he has somehow found with Lena.

“I could almost feel his walls slamming back into place. Mine were slower, weaker, damn them, Someone, somewhere along the line, had swapped my titanium for tinfoil leaving me wide open and exposed. It was all his fault.”

Now lets put this out there, Jimmy is an asshole and there is not going to be any sudden revelation that makes him not an asshole. But for me personally that is part of his charm. That being said he can still be sweet and kind but those moments are not going to last long so don’t get to used to them. But do you know what else Jimmy is  . . . sexy as all! I mean DAMN! This book was steaming. It might not be straight out of the box sexy and Kylie does make you work for it a bit but damn when it happens does it ever happen!

 

lead2

The true star of Lead for me, as well as the whole Stage Dive series in general is the quick wit and humor. Kylie does such am amazing job of writing humor even in the middle of serious situations. Lena and Jimmy’s constant fighting would have gotten old if it weren’t for the tons of hilarious one-liners that came with it. Between their bickering and any scene where Mal was involved I was laughing my ass off the whole time.

  “Fuck’s sake. Can we not argue when we’re having sex? Please?” “Fine.”

It has been about a week since I finished Lead and already I am itching for a re-read! To me that is the definition of a great book. One you finish and loved so much that you cannot wait to have the chance to read it again! Well done, Kylie! Now hurry up and write me Deep, I need to know Ben’s story!

“Mal was right, you do no aftercare.” Worst post-coital ever.

A.C Bextor – Holding On

This novel contains material that is not suitable for individuals under the age of 18. Content includes: drug use, explicit language, violence, rape, and other scenarios with content that readers may find offensive. Please use caution when deciding on this book, as every reader has the right to understand the product before purchase.

This book is one of two and does not contain an exact HEA as the reader may expect, yet.

“You are mine. You’ve been mine since you took those training wheels off that pink bike of yours and fell at my feet. Never even cried, you didn’t. Just sat on my lap trusting that I had you. Well I have you now, baby. You’re grown up, you’re a woman, and you’re mine. Mine.”

That’s Shame. My brothers best friend and the Vice President of Lights of Peril MC. Along with my best friend Sadey, we’ve all grown up together. I don’t have a memory that isn’t surrounded by the four of us.

Years together as friends and often times in the face of adversity has led Shame, Hem, Mace, and Sadey to share their lives now as adults.

Sadey and Mace have been best friends since they were five years old. As a child, teenager, and then young woman, Sadey longed for Hem to notice her. As years passed, she vowed to save all of herself for him with the hope that one day he would see her as the woman she was turning herself into, not just the child he remembers.

Mace and Hem are siblings that grew up in a small town in the Midwest. Sharing the same mother, Mace’s father refuses to accept Hem as his own, leading him to a life similar to that of his biological father.

Hem never set out to be President of the Lights of Peril Motorcycle Club, but when he left home at 17 to find the acceptance he was so desperate for, he ended up finding Doc. After Doc’s passing Hem was determined to lead Peril into a clean existence.

The story is about love, heartache, and tragedy.

Sometimes we search our whole lives for something we think we are missing, only to find out what we had with us is what we were looking for all along.

Synopsis

One taste is never enough…

Spencer Waller’s main purpose in life is to protect and serve. After spending years in the military, he gets a coveted spot on the Secret Service detail protecting the president. Spence doesn’t have time for women or all the work having a relationship with one requires. But just because he isn’t looking for a lady doesn’t mean he can’t appreciate a beautiful one when he sees her.

And he makes it a point to see one in particular every single day.

Elle Bond has literally chopped and fried her way to the top of the food chain. Earning a coveted position in the White House as the president’s personal chef, she figures her professional life can only get better. Her personal life, on the other hand, could use a little bit of an overhaul, and because of that, she tries to ignore the charm-dripping cookie thief every time he comes into her kitchen. After all, she knows better than anyone that just one taste of something good is never enough.

One night after work, Elle is assaulted, threatened, and given an ultimatum. She can’t go to the police, and she sure as hell can’t do what she was ordered.

But she has to. Or else.

Pale, shaken, and scared to death, Elle confides in Spence, and his protective instincts take over. Together, Elle and Spencer have to uncover a sinister plot and stop it before someone ends up dead.

Excerpt

Excerpt :

The room was completely silent except for the light scrawling of my pen across paper. Maybe that’s why I heard the sound.

It was a low scraping sound, like wood rubbing against wood. I tilted my head, confused. It was an odd sound to hear in the middle of the night, something I might not even think twice about if it were daylight.

But it wasn’t.

A muffled thump overhead caused my entire body to tighten like a shoelace with a double knot. My head snapped back to stare up at the ceiling.

I was being crazy.

I was being paranoid.

Thump.

There was someone in the apartment!

A surge of adrenaline so powerful it blurred my vision for a few seconds rocketed through me. My brain tried to think as my body went into overdrive. That first sound, someone had opened a window upstairs. The thump was when that someone dropped their up-to-no-good ass into my house.

Still clutching the pen, I raced for the stairs, out of my mind with fear. All the times my mother told me I needed to get a landline phone installed haunted me in that moment. My only means of calling for help was upstairs, beside my bed, in the form of my smart phone.

She was never going to let me hear the end of this.

If I survive. The thought floated through my head like a vicious taunt. Another light scuffling sound upstairs had my heart thumping even harder.

My God, it might not be me they hurt!

I wasn’t quiet on my way up the old wooden steps. In fact, I sounded like a herd of elephants that needed to lose about twenty pounds.

Good.

It would draw all the attention of the no good dirty rotten bastards in here.

Come get me, assholes.

It was dark upstairs except for the nightlight that lit up the hallway. Against the long wall across from that light, I saw a dark, lurking shadow pass. I gasped and my blood pressure skyrocketed so high that my scalp likely should have blown off the top of my head.

Holy shit, this was scary.

But I had to be strong. I had to be a fighter. I was a fighter.

The intruder appeared at the top of the stairs, slipping out of my bedroom just as I cleared the top step. His body tensed when he saw me, and then he rushed me without warning.

Review

“I know the look of a wounded bird, you don’t look wounded, darlin’. You look downright beaten.”

Wow! This fast read packed an action packed punch. Taste by Cambria Hebert is 9th book in the take it off series but all of them are standalones. I have been lucky enough to read a couple of Cambria’s books before and have enjoyed them but this is definitely my favorite so far. More than reading a sexy romance I felt like I was watching a movie the whole time and was on the edge of my seat waiting to see what would happen next.

“I’m sorry,” he murmured. “For what?” “For taking so long to do something about the way I feel about you.”

Elle is a very accomplished twenty four year old considering she is a single mom of a two year old and a personal chef for the President of the United States. But working in that position also puts her at risk and when men break into her home and threaten not only her life but the life of her two year old son if she doesn’t poison the president she is torn as to what to do. Enter sexy cookie thief and super sexy secret serviceman Spencer, who has been hanging around her kitchen lately more than the job requires. Once she opens up to him about what is going on he makes it his personal duty to keep her safe and punish anyone who hurts her or her son.

“When I am done with you, there won’t be any doubt in your mind.”

I loved sweet, sexy and southern Spencer. He was all kinds of Alpha goodness and really made this story for me. Being former military he has a deep urge to protect those around him and it becomes apparent right away that Elle is who is most interested in protecting. He instils himself in her life and won’t let her push him away. But damn, when she gives in to the strong pull that you can feel from them from the beginning it is HOT! Somehow in this action packed book where something is always going on Cambria found the time to also make it super sexy and still kept it feeling like the story flowed.

“The truth is it didn’t matter what I did here. This place . . . it never felt like home. You feel like home to me.”

Anyone who is a fan of action packed TV shows like Hostages or 24 will love this book. The only real problem I had with it was that I read it home alone at night and I suddenly found myself very worried that strange armed men were hiding in the corners. (paranoid much loll.) Overall, Cambria did a great job of mixing action, drama and romance is this fast and fun novel.

AUTHOR

 

I am a mother to two young children, who in turn keep me young. I live in Dublin, Ireland but, I’m originally from South Devon in the UK. I work full time in a pharmacy and write in all my spare time: in my lunch hour, when watching TV at night and anywhere the urge takes me.
I have always been interested in reading from a young age and then 2 years ago I was given a kindle as a present and it was the best thing that happened to me. I was able to read lots of books ever week and then I started to write reviews for all the books I read.
I took this one step further and started my own facebook page – Sparkling Pink Bookshelf. I intended to upload all of my reviews for the books I read. This was purely for pleasure and then I answered a post on facebook for someone to read for reviews and thought I had died and gone to heaven. I was reading about 7/8 books a week, the kindle made this achievable. I would read at any opportunity I could, even staying up til the small hours to finish a book. I loved it.
Then one day I was asked to beta read a book – I loved this side of it, it was so exciting. I have worked with a number of indie authors and have remained loyal to a few select authors and I beta read all their books.
After a year or more of doing this, I thought maybe I could write some of the stories that were in my head and I just decided to write and see what happened. I wrote about 70% of a story and then saw a post for the NaNoWriMo competition – to write 50,000 words in 30 days, I decided that this was a challenge I wanted to take and the Til Death Us Do Part series was born.
I am always thinking of situations that can be turned into a story and have started a few stories, which in turn will be completed and released to my readers.
I love to hear what my readers have to say about my work and please find my links below:
Thank you for your support and I hope you enjoy this series of books as much as I enjoyed writing them.

5 Smooches!

Synopsis

My name was Dr. Erica Hill. I was a victim, then a witness, and then I ceased to exist altogether.

I may still be breathing, but stripped of my identity, I have long since stopped living. I am invisible, and my life depends on my ability to stay in the shadows.

But he sees me.

Slate Andrews is the embodiment of everything I have been taught to avoid. He’s rich and famous, and one image of him with a woman would earn millions for any paparazzi lucky enough to snap it. He has vowed to protect me with his life, yet he exposes me with his every breath. I should be stronger and walk away. I should disappear. But I’m terrified he would come after me.

I’m on the run, determined not to take him down with me but absolutely unable to let him go.

My name is Riley Peterson…at least for today.

Review

Wow, I absolutely loved Among the Echoes.  I am falling hard for Aly Martinez and her books!  I find it so hard to believe that she is a newbie writer because she seems to have mastered the recipe to turn out one amazing book after another.  Some authors just have IT, and Aly does!  Among the Echoes is definitely different than her other novels; this one being a bit more dark but I couldn’t get enough of it.  It had me gripped from the very, action packed, first page.  When a book starts out like that, you just know it is going to be epic.  So, you better make time to read this book in one sitting because you simply will not be able to stop.

Erica is on the run and in witness protection when she meets heavy weight champion of the world, Slate Andrews.  Slate is all kinds of sexy woman protecting alpha-goodness.  He also happens to be excellent at the dirty talk, so let’s just call him perfect.

Erika knows she can’t keep him.  Her life is a hot mess and she refuses to put him in danger but the heart wants what the heart wants.  Their story is such a beautiful one.  Slate wants to rescue Erika and she wants so badly for him to be the one to rescue her but she feels hopeless.

10579237_10154424213495414_1014972242_n

Slate is kind of a recluse which made for an interesting character since he is in the public eye a lot.  He was easy to fall in love with.  He first just wants to help Erika but you feel their attraction right off the bat and he seems to easily fall for the mysterious woman who he constantly feels the need to help.  Before he knows it, helping her has turned into so much more than he expected.

10567997_10154424213565414_96302888_n

Now, lets throw in Leo, Erika’s bestie and room-mate.  Nope, not a love triangle people.  Leo is an awesome addition to the story, though.  He is a lot of the comedic relief and he comes with his own set of problems that leave you intrigued with his character.

This book was amazeballs.  Lots of action, an angsty romance, and such steamy sex.  Aly Martinez writes books that have it all.  You will laugh, you will cry, and you will most certainly be turned on.  Her characters are lovable even with their flaws and she always manages to surprise me with a little twist..  I totally fangirl her and I cannot wait for my next fix!
