Burn by Callie Hart Review

Bodybuilder

Synopsis

Sloane 
I’m not safe.
I haven’t been safe for a while now.
I ran to Zeth for protection, but Zeth is in danger himself. With Julio on one side, and the leader of the Widow Makers MC on the other, the smartest thing to do would be to run. I’ve been running long enough, though.
This is the closest I’ve come to finding my sister in two years.
I can’t back down now.

Zeth 
My right hand man’s being tortured in the basement.
The guy who tried to buy Sloane’s virginity is burning rubber in our direction.
My psychotic boss is on a mission to find me, and the girl I’m supposed to be keeping safe has landed herself right in the middle of all of this.
Just another breezy weekend in the Californian desert.
What could possibly go wrong in the next 48 hours?

Review

The third installment of the Blood and Roses series had so many twists and turns, I was on the edge of my seat! Some very interesting characters are introduced and it would appear that Sloane is slowly losing her even-keeled demeanor. She finally makes contact with her sister. Yes, finally, but the circumstances are dire. Throughout all the crazy madness that surrounds Zeth and Sloane in Julio’s house, they find their strength within each other. It is becoming quite apparent that they are not just using each other just for sex. They have a symbiotic soothing effect on each other.

BURN teaser

The wonderful thing about this series, is yes, the twists and turns and yes, the high energy sex-capades, but it’s also the relationships depicted. There are many, many layers to all the characters, and I absolutely love how Callie peels those away to reveal true humanity. No one is inherently good, and truthfully, no one is completely bad. Everyone in these stories seem to be grasping for their own sense of peace, and I cannot wait to see if Zeth and Sloane find it.

Neanderthal Marries Human
by Penny Reid
Knitting in the City #3
Publication Date: June 24, 2014
Genres: Contemporary, Contemporary Women, Humor, Humorous, Romance

Tour: Neanderthal Marries Human by Penny Reid

Synopsis: There are three things you should know about Quinn Sullivan: 1) He is madly in love with Janie Morris, 2) He’s not above playing dirty to get what (or who) he wants, and 3) He doesn’t know how to knit.

After just five months of dating Janie, Quinn—former Wendell and unapologetic autocrat—is ready to propose marriage. In fact, he’s more than ready. If it were up to Quinn, he would efficiently propose, marry, and beget Janie with child all in the same day—thereby avoiding the drama and angst that accompanies the four stages of pre-matrimony: engagement, meeting the parents, bachelor/bachelorette party, and overblown, superfluous wedding day traditions. But Janie, much to Quinn’s dismay, tosses a wrench in his efficacious endeavors and challenges him to prove his devotion by going through the matrimonial motions, no matter how minute and mundane.

Will Quinn last until the wedding day? Or will he yield to his tyrant impulses?

Regardless, one thing is for certain, Quinn Sullivan will have to learn to expect the Spanish Inquisition (i.e. the unexpected) if he plans to have and keep Janie Morris as his wife.

This book is not a standalone. It is the sequel to ‘Neanderthal Seeks Human,’ it is book #1.5 in the ‘Knitting in the City’ series, and it is a full length, 100k word novel.

Again, you must read ‘Neanderthal Seeks Human’ first before reading this book.

This book is written in first person, alternating POV (Janie Morris AND Quinn Sullivan; but more Janie than Quinn).

About Penny Reid

Author-Photo-Penny-Reid-300x300

SEX! It all started with sex, between my parents. Personally I don’t like thinking about it, but whatever works for you is a-ok with me. No judgment. The sex happened in California and much of my life also occurred in that state until I moved from the land of nuts (almonds), wine, silicon… boobs, and heavy traffic to the southeast US. Like most writers I like to write, but let’s get back to sex. Eventually I married and gave birth to 2 small people-children (boy-6, girl-4 as of this writing).

By day I’m a biomedical researcher with focus on rare diseases. By night I’m a knitter, sewer, lino block carver, fabric printer, soap maker, and general crafter. By the wee hours of the morning or when I’m intoxicated I love to listen to the voices in my head and let them tell me stories. I hope you enjoy their stories.

Title: Kairos, An Enmortals Series Novel

Author: K.J. Coakley

Release Date: June 13, 2014

Find on Goodreads

What if the enticing man who has just seized your every sense enlightens you to realms beyond our dimension? Can that spark of love withstand a war to protect mankind? Kairos: An Enmortals Series Novel by K. J. Coakley is the spellbinding novel that reveals that the deepest love need not be confined to the trappings of one world.

The first in a series of paranormal romances, Kairos swirls in mankind, magic, and mythology as it chronicles the first blush of yearning between Sulwen Macgregor, a shy and sheltered college senior, and Logan Thatcher, a mesmerizing former playboy with arresting good looks, an offbeat sense of humor, and an ironclad moral code. When the two meet, Sulwen has no inkling that she soon will embark on an odyssey that not only exposes Logan as other than mortal, but uncovers astonishing aspects of her own being as well.

As Logan saves Sulwen from fast-approaching peril, the two must discover if their love is truly without bounds and strong enough to fend off adversaries far more craven than they ever could fathom. With wild imagination, otherworldly passion, and heart-pumping action, Kairos goes where no human being has dared, all in the name of love.

Her dark lashes lie against her ivory skin. A few tiny freckles are speckled over the bridge of her nose. I run my finger from the indent next to her pert little nose, over her high cheekbone, and then trace the edge of her hairline down and around her ear. My eyes watch with rapt attention, taking in every detail of her beautiful face. She is the most breathtakingly beautiful woman I have ever laid eyes on. I smirk as I think of how she doesn’t even realize how truly alluring she is. God, I love this woman.

I settle her down on the grass and lean down to graze my lips over hers. Her warm breath glides over my cheek as I turn my face into hers and run my nose and lips along her jaw.

“I love you, Sulwen Macgregor,” I whisper softly next to her ear. I kiss the tip of her nose and then gently lay her down.

As I stand I steal one more glance at her and feel the smile that breaks across my face. So peaceful. So much of everything that I need lies there looking like a nymph in the grass.

I’m Rhett.

I’m cocky because I can be. I’ve got it all: the looks, the money, the endurance. I’m the guy that every girl wants to be with, yet none of them have ever been able to tie me down.

I don’t do love. I don’t do relationships. And I sure as hell will never do marriage.

Everything changed the day, Clementine O’Hara told me she was moving away. She’s my best friend. She was my first kiss in grade school. We share everything with each other.

I’m Rhett and I don’t let anything get me down. Then one night changed everything and everything I thought I knew was called into question. All of a sudden, being Rhett didn’t mean so much anymore.

Synopsis

When Mia Corelli returns to Alabama for a summer of fun with her childhood best friend, Tessa, there’s only one thing keeping her on edge. One person that she’d do anything to avoid.

Benjamin Kelly. World’s biggest dickhead.

Mia hates him with a fury and has no desire to ever see him again. When she decides to start her summer off with a bang and finally give away her v-card, she unknowingly hands it over to the one guy that excelled at making her life miserable, learning a valuable lesson in the process.

Always get the name of the guy you’re going home with.

Ben can’t get the girl he spent one night with out of his head. When she leaves him the next morning, he thinks he’ll never see her again. Until he sees her lounging by the pool with his sister.

Mia is determined to hate Ben, even though she can’t forget him.

Ben is determined to prove he’s not the same guy he used to be.

What happens when the one person you wish never existed becomes the one person you can’t imagine being without?

Review

After reading J. Daniels first book “Sweet Addiction” I was really excited to start this one. This author is great at creating stories filled with likable characters, romantic love and super steamy sex scenes. “Where I Belong” definitely fits this bill!

Growing up Mia was tormented by her best friend Tessa’s brother, Ben. His constant abuse has stayed with her even in the years since she moved away from home. Things haven’t been easy for Mia since she left, taking care of her mother is a full time job and she is more than ready to spend the summer having fun with Tessa.

Ben remembers Mia as his little sisters annoying friend and since she’s been gone he really hasn’t given her much thought. But this new Mia is all grown up and Ben is hooked! A lot has changed for Ben and he is definitely not the same jerk he was as a teenager. Can he convince Mia of that fact?

Once again J. Daniels has done an excellent job of creating a cast of characters that I couldn’t wait to get to know. I enjoyed Mia and her growing confidence and Ben was such a sweetheart and quite the dirty talker ;). The secondary characters were all intriguing as well; I can’t wait to read Tessa and Luke’s story as well as learn more about Reed. Sir Nolan was an amazingly cute part of this story and added some great comic relief as well as heartwarming moments.

I have to say that the first sex scene between Mia and Ben was so incredibly epic I recommend reading the book for that scene alone! I was a fan after the first book and reading this one has only solidified that fact. I absolutely look forward to reading more from this author.

EXCERPT:

“You sure you’re not sneaking off to Los Angeles to get me a ring?”

He laughed once more. She’d been trying to get it out of him since the night he told her he’d wanted to take her to Vegas for the weekend. Even with her business meeting, she was hunting for clues of a proposal. Only his brother knew he planned to ask her to marry him this weekend. “I’m not going to Los Angeles to get a ring, but even if I were I would never tell you,” he said.

“You do realize that gives absolutely nothing away?”

He nodded, tapping her forehead lightly, then running his finger down to her nose. “I know,” he said, then nibbled on the end of her nose.

“Well, enough about rings. What’s in that box there you’re hiding by your leg?”

“You saw it?”

“My gift-spotting skills know no bounds.”

He handed her the turquoise-wrapped box with a white bow on it. She eyed the bow. “In case you want to tie me up on the plane, looks like we already have something to use.”

His dick twitched against the denim of his jeans. She was always on the same wavelength as he was. “I may need to tie up your hands as a reminder to bring your poker face to the meeting today.”

She gave him a sharp-eyed stare. “Do not ever doubt my poker face. It is masterful,” she said, as she tugged one end of the ribbon, letting the white satiny bow fall across the shiny wrapping paper. Ripping off the paper, she popped open the top of the box, and there it was. That glow in her eyes. The absolute joy in receiving gifts. She was a delight to give presents to because she never faked her appreciation. Reaching inside the box, she wrapped her fingers around the necklace then gently lifted the long strand of pearls. “Oh my God, they’re stunning. They’re so fucking gorgeous.”

She draped the pearls over her hand, the long strands like waterfalls of smooth, rounded beads. She gazed at them like they were precious, a fitting response, since they were. “They’re real,” she said, with wonder in her voice as she looked up at him.

He nodded. “I would never give you something fake.”

“I’ve never had pearls before. I’ve never thought of myself as a pearl person.”

“Then let me show you how I want you to wear them, so you can see how absolutely fucking sexy a pearl person can be,” he said, standing up and making his way to his suitcase. He opened one of the zipper compartments where he’d tucked a dress for her, and brought it over. “Another gift. Put this on.”

“Now?”

He nodded. “Yes. Model it for me.”

“As you wish,” she said, standing up and glancing once at the cockpit. “What about the pilot?”

“I told him we’d be making full use of the plane and he said he’d have his eyes on the sky the whole time.”

“Then keep your eyes on me,” she said, looping the strand around her neck, then stripping off her skirt, letting it pool at her feet, her gaze locked on him the whole time. He watched her, growing harder with each layer she removed—now her shirt, then her lacy bra. He reclined the spacious leather seat, taking in the show, savoring every second of her undressing.

Synopsis

Since his brother’s death, Benny Bianchi has been nursing his grudge against the woman he thinks led to his brother’s downfall. He does this to bury the feelings he has for Francesca Concetti, his brother’s girl. But when Frankie takes a bullet while on the run with Benny’s cousin’s woman, Benny has to face those feelings.

The problem is Frankie has decided she’s paid her penance. Penance she didn’t deserve to pay. She’s done with Benny and the Bianchi family. She’s starting a new life away from Chicago and her heartbreaking history.

Benny has decided differently.

But Frankie has more demons she’s battling. Demons Benny wants to help her face. But life has landed so many hard knocks on Frankie she’s terrified of believing in the promise of Benny Bianchi and the good life he’s offering.

Frankie’s new life leads her to The ‘Burg, where Benny has ties, and she finds she not only hasn’t succeeded in getting away, she’s doesn’t want to.

Review

I don’t know about you guys, but I have been waiting and waiting for Benny and Frankie.  We were introduced to these two special characters in At Peace, the second book in The ‘Burg Series, and I have been craving their book ever since.  The Promise is the fifth book in The ‘Burg Series by Kristin Ashley and it is Frankie and Benny’s Story; finally!

1922474_10154318243295414_9160768670756236045_n

Frankie was alienated by the Bianchi family seven years ago when her boyfriend, Vinnie Bianchi died.  The truth is they wrongly blamed her for his death.  They were the only functional family that Frankie had so it was devastating to her, but now the Bianchi’s have realized the error of their ways and they want Frankie back.  Benny, Vinnie’s brother, really wants Frankie back; to keep for himself and to love.  He has always had a thing for Frankie and now with past grudges non-existent and his brother no longer with Frankie, he is making his play.  Frankie isn’t going to make it easy for him.  She has forgiven but she hasn’t forgotten how the Bianchi’s treated her and with a move from Chicago to the The ‘Burg she has  a new life waiting and a chance for a fresh start.

Oh my goodness,  I loved loved loved this book.  The ‘Burg happens to be one of my favorite Kristen Ashley Series.  Here is why.  These books are deliciously sexy,  They always have a bit of a mysterious “who done it?” type of factor.  Last, but not least, the characters are just freaking magical.  They are lovable, memorable, and often damaged in some way.  You will find yourself swept away by these wonderful people and their beautiful stories; praying and wishing for their happily-ever-afters, and thinking about about them long after you have closed their books.

Frankie and Benny were really no different.  I absolutely adored them.  Benny was actually quite a talker for an alpha KA man and I really loved that.  His love for Frankie showed again and again in his kindness and patience with her.  He knew their relationship was going to be hard work just like Frankie did, but he was willing to put it in if she did too.  He was also ridiculously sexy and a fabulous dirty talker.  Oh Benny, where have you been all my life?

“Taste me.  All of me.  Take your time.  Suck. Glide.  Get me wet.  Nothin’s off limits.  Look at me while you take me.  Watch what you do to me.”

And, Frankie, well I just could not help but feel sorry for the way her life went down.  Between her crazy dysfunctional family and  Vinnie’s death it seemed  she got handed one raw deal after another.  I kept hoping that Benny would show her the goodness in herself because she truly is so so good.

“It was a person who inspired love and loyalty and protection.  It was a person who got this because she gave it back.  It was the person I’d always been but never seen.  She was beautiful.”

1925322_10154318595325414_8916381857063135300_n

Frankie and Benny’s story really was the best part about this book but I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed all of the different factors coming into play to make The Promise kind of a big deal.  For starters, my favorite KA couple ever comes back in this book!  Epic events happen in this couples life and I just have to say that it gave me the warm and fuzzies accompanied by a tear or two.  It just made me so happy to see they were still living out their dreams.  Also, a few of my favorite KA alpha-hotties make a début!

“They seem kinda like private investigator superheroes,” 

This book really was amazing in a lot of ways. It was touching, sexy, and epic in a way that I cannot really explain without spoiling the whole book for you.  The ‘Burg Series as a whole is an absolute must read.  I don’t think Kristin Ashley can write a bad book and her epilogues, well, they make me so happy.  Just so happy.

The Dare by Rachel Van Dyken Release Blast







From #1 New York Times Bestselling Author Rachel Van Dyken, comes
the third and final book in the New York Time’s Bestselling Bet Series…

Boring Beth Lynn has always lived up to her nickname… until she wakes up in a
hotel bed next to a sexy as sin state senator she re-connected with at a
wedding the previous night.
The biggest problem? She can’t seem to remember anything about the night before
except for crying into a box of cookies, and she’s pretty sure Grandma Nadine
slipped something in her drink. And what should have been a one night stand
turns into a six day adventure when Grandma whisks them off to Hawaii to save
them from the ensuing media firestorm.
Jace isn’t looking for commitment — he believes he made that clear when he
left the wedding with Beth. Then again, he can’t remember much of anything
other than the way her skin felt beneath his hands. Now he’s stuck with her at
some lame couple’s retreat and trying his hardest to fight the attraction only
a woman like Beth could invoke.
He doesn’t think it can get any worse.
But one spider attack… A donkey ride from hell… And an unfortunate episode
with Viagra tea — and there’s one thing Jace knows for sure: He should never
have agreed to Grandma Nadine’s suggestion in the first place.

Because if this isn’t paradise, and it isn’t a vacation — that only leaves one
option.
Survival.
But to make it through alive… they might lose their hearts in the process.
