SYNOPSIS
Singapore has stolen a piece of Ava Thompson.
 
It took one life shattering moment for her to realize her ex-boyfriend is not the man she believed him to be. Returning home to Los Angeles was never going to be easy for Ava, as her heart has been shattered to smithereens and she’s convinced it’ll never heal. Or, so she thought.
 
Enter Jasper White.
 
Unbeknown to Ava, he will change her life forever.
 
The attraction is instantaneous, which troubles Ava, who has sworn off men indefinitely. Yet, she is finding resisting Jasper—with his tousled bedroom hair and piercing cerulean eyes—harder than she ever imagined. That’s because Jasper knows what he wants … and he wants her.
 
Can Ava surrender to her feelings for the one man who compels her to love again? What happens if love isn’t enough?

Excerpt
Our faces are inches apart and I’m still sitting submissively, too afraid to make the first move. Jasper rests his forehead against mine, inhaling softly. He slides his nose against mine, backwards and forwards, and I take a steady breath before I pass out.
“You smell like lilacs,” he whispers hoarsely, his mouth fluttering over my chin.
He unhurriedly moves to my neck, his nose gliding over my skin, inhaling my scent. I detonate as the tip of his tongue slowly sashays along my collarbone, but before I can demand more, his tongue retreats and he begins kissing my cheeks delicately. I wish in this moment I looked nicer or had on more makeup. But under his passionate gaze, I feel like a queen. His tranquil blue eyes take in my impassioned face and he rewards me with a dimpled smirk.
“You look so beautiful, looking at me with those big brown eyes,” he says, and a low moan escapes me as he passes his thumb softly along my bottom lip. I purr with desire and close my eyes involuntarily, because the scene playing out before me is too much.
“Open your eyes,” Jasper whispers. I oblige.
As I take in the man before me, I gasp at what I see. Jasper is sitting before me, inches away from my face, his eyes consumed in a blistering stare. As he slowly leans in to kiss me, I’m waiting with bated breath to feel his lips on mine.

You know how it ends, now see how it all began… 
“It doesn’t matter how many women touch this body, only one woman has ever touched this soul.”
Ryan Pierce doesn’t come from much, doesn’t ask for much, and doesn’t expect much. And he’s come to accept that, until, Alana Remington. Alana is the girl who struck the match that lit his world on fire. She’s the girl who opened his eyes to more. Who made him believe that just because you have nothing, doesn’t mean you are nothing. And he loves her fiercely for it. But, just because you come together, doesn’t mean you stay together. One fateful decision rips Ryan and Alana apart and neither of them are ever the same again. 
For five years he’s regretted that decision, but the deep seeded anger, shame and resentment has kept him from reaching out. And over those five years, a series of moments have spun Ryan’s world in a direction he never saw coming. A world ruled by endless nights, infinite women and the name Jack the Stripper. A world, unbeknownst to him, that may just let two severed hearts collide. 
 
(Stripped From You is a Prequel to Strip Me Bare)
 
 
 
*Author
Note- Stripped From You can be read as a stand-alone novel, but the author
suggests reading Strip Me Bare first. 
 
Excerpt:
 
“Do you trust me?”
 
“Of course not, I just met you.”
 
“Then how about giving me the benefit of the doubt?”
 
She raises an eyebrow at me, and before I give her a chance to
respond I slam the shot then pull her face to mine. And as my mouth covers
hers, heat rapidly spreads through my body. 
 
She’s momentarily stunned. Her body
is rigid against me, but then she relaxes, parts her lips and lets the tart
liquid slide into her mouth.
 
I
can’t believe I just did that.
 
I
can’t believe she just let me.
 
After she swallows, she lets her lips linger, sucking up the taste of
the sweet shot, causing my nervous system to shift into hyper-drive. We break
apart slowly, but I refuse to let go of the nape of her neck. She just stares
up at me with these enthralling eyes I know I’ll never be able to resist.
 
“Do you always break the rules?” she asks.
 
“No, not usually, but you seem to make me want to do crazy things.”
 
“Was that crazy?”
 
“Let’s do it again and find out.”
 
I lick my lower lip, tasting the sweet remnants of her lip gloss
before I drop another shot. I pause for just a beat before lean down and press
my mouth back to hers and let the alcohol flow between us. I flick my tongue
against her teeth right before I pull away. I shouldn’t like this so much, but
I do. I like the way she looks, the way she feels, they way she smells. 
 
There’s
something about her, something ventilating; like she oxygenates the atmosphere.
 
I catch the cool beats to a song I recognize pumping though the air.
“Do you want to dance?” I ask her.
 
“You can dance?”
 
“There’s only one thing I can do better.” I smirk.
 
Alana cocks her eye brow suggestively.
 
“Draw.” I fire back. “The only thing I can do better is draw. Dirty
girl.” I tease as I grab her hand and lead her out to the dance floor knowing
Mac will look after our drinks.
 
Once we find a comfortable spot, I start to move to the smooth
rhythm, leaving a little room between us so it doesn’t feel like I’m forcing
myself on her. Drake sings coolly about hot love and affection as we move in
sync to the beat, our bodies brushing and grazing as the music plays on, then
finally coming together in a comfortable unison. I wrap one hand around her
waist as I roll my hips into hers, pressing our bodies as close as they can possibly
get. Alana runs her hands up my chest and hooks her arms lightly around my neck
keeping tempo with the music. She moves lithely against me, inducing my heart,
thoughts, and pulse to race. 
 
Fuck, I’m
drowning in want for this girl. I slide my hands up under her shirt and
caress the smooth, soft skin of her lower back as she nuzzles her face into my
neck, her warm breath skating across my collarbone, making me instantly hard.
 
Damn.
 
She lifts her head and meets my stare, which I know is filled with
lust and unrepentantly wanton. She bites her lower lip, our bodies still jiving
to the slow seductive music. In a brazen move, I slip my hand up the back of
her bare thigh and cup her ass cheek under the hem of her short shorts. She
gasps as I work my fingers against her, massaging the fleshy part of her
bottom. I’m absolutely aching being this close to her, touching her, stroking
her, grinding against her.
 
“Are you sure drawing is the only thing you can do better?” she pants
in my ear.

“I may have had more lovers than you, and I may take my
clothes off for countless women, but you are the only one who can strip me
bare.”
 
Do you ever stop loving someone just because
they’re gone? Five years ago Ryan Pierce disappeared from Alana Remington’s
life without leaving so much as a post-it note behind. He was the one she gave
her heart to, her soul to, and her virginity to.  So imagine her surprise when she finds him
dancing at one of NYC’s hottest male revues as Jack the Stripper.
 
Ryan never stopped loving Alana, and now that she
serendipitously dropped back into his life, he’s vowed never to lose her
again.  But being together has its costs,
and challenges Alana isn’t sure she can handle.
 
She finally has Ryan back; but how in the world is
she supposed to share the love of her life with half of the women in New York
City?
Excerpt:
 
We stop in front of some hanging crystals. They
clink as Ryan pushes them aside, “after you.”
I walk under an orange spotlight, into a small space with a white
leather couch deep enough to lie on and walls a warm golden yellow.  
 
Ryan steps in behind me and presses his body flush
against mine. My mind races. 
Is he really going to do this? 
 
Am I really going to let him?
 
Can I even handle this? Five minutes ago he was
with another woman. Quite possibly in this same room doing God only knows
what. 
 
“Why do you do this Ryan?” I expel. I know he
explained it in words, but I need to experience it to truly understand. 
 
He ambles around me so close; the only thing
separating us is a whisper of air. 
“I told you, the money,” he says as he unbuttons
his shirt.
 
“You said women too,” I watch him cautiously, my
gaze jumping between his eyes and his chest.
 
“That was before you walked back into my life.
You’re the only woman I want to touch now. The others, like you saw before,
it’s just an act. A business transaction. It’s what I have to do to get what I
want.”
 
“Doesn’t it make them feel used?” I flick my eyes
up at him.
 
“It mustn’t. They always come back.”  
 
“You like it. I saw your face. That wasn’t an
act.” 
 
Ryan stands right in front of me, his shirt
unbuttoned and dangling open. “I won’t lie to you Alana, I’ll never lie to
you,” his tone is hard, but seductive. “I do like the attention. But it’s not
real. It’s my job to sell attractiveness and fantasy, and I do it well. But
that’s all it is, fantasy and I know it. When I’m with you, that’s my real.”
 
My breath catches when he says the word real. I
can’t help but find the irony in his words; I’m exactly to him what he is to
me. Two people one and the same, both living a double life to get what they
want; a future and each other. 
 
And that is what I want. A future, with Ryan.  
 
I go to put my hands on his chest, but he steps
away shaking his head no. “In this room, it’s all about you,” he walks around,
stopping right behind me. “You have to tell me what you want Alana,” he
whispers in my ear and I almost go limp, the sound of his voice is erotic as
hell. 
 
I swallow hard, but can’t utter a single word,
because truth be told, I have no freakin’ idea what I want. At least, not in
this scenario. 
 
Ryan starts to rub my shoulders. I think he can
feel my hesitation. 
 
“Why are you so tense? This is supposed to be
fun.”
 
Fun? The word rattles around in my head. Fun – a
time or feeling of enjoyment or amusement.
 
Okay, let’s have some fun. 
 
I turn around to face him and our eyes lock. “Show
me.” 
 
“Show you what?” his tone dripping with
sensuality. 
 
“Show me Jack the Stripper.”
 
Holy fuck!

When a dark and dangerous vampire shows up at her door asking to see her license and registration, Anja assumes Bishop is a regular cop. But breeding among vampires is strictly controlled, and her unlicensed status makes her an enemy of The Order. Struggling to find a balance between her former life and her undead one, Anja tries to blend school and living up to her new identity, all while searching to find the elusive Viking, whose blood gave Anja the strength of a vampire hundreds of years old.

“No secret stays hidden forever.”
 
A phone call from an old friend sets Dr. Giovanni Vecchio back on the path of a mystery he’d abandoned years before. He never expected a young librarian could hold the key to the search, nor could he have expected the danger she would attract. Now he and Beatrice De Novo will follow a twisted maze that leads from the archives of a university library, through the fires of Renaissance Florence, and toward a confrontation they never could have predicted.
 
A Hidden Fire is a paranormal mystery/romance for adult readers. It is the first book in the Elemental Mysteries Series.

College senior Grace is half witch, half mortal, and one of the most powerful supernatural beings in existence. Problem is she doesn’t know any of this yet.
 
But she’s about to find out—and fast. Her powers are awakening, and Grace is in danger as her transformation reignites an ages-old war between her clan and an evil rival witch faction that will stop at nothing to see Grace dead so their leader, the vicious, ruthless Catherine, can harness Grace’s incredible powers for her own dark purposes.
 
It’s up to Grace’s immortal Aunt Evelyn and her best friend Julie—a shape shifter from a long line of Native American mystics—to defend her. She also has James on her side, a witch from the Bolingbroke clan that has vowed since Grace’s birth to keep her safe. From the moment they meet, the two share a fierce supernatural attraction—a white-hot heat that neither can resist. Will their undying love protect her or put her in greater danger? Only time will tell, and time for Grace is running out.
 

 

 
Dominion 
(Dominion #1)
by S.E. Lund
 
 
I had no idea
what to expect the night I went in search of a translator for an 800-year old
French illuminated manuscript but it certainly wasn’t what I found — Michel
and Julien de Cernay: 800-year old identical twin vampire brothers – beautiful,
tempermental opposites, both wanting me for themselves. Michel — dark, brooding, control-freak, former
priest who broke his vows the night he was turned into a vampire. Julien —
impetuous, valiant, passionate, a brave knight who lost his life on a
battlefield when a vampire claimed him. Caught between the two brothers, I search for the
truth about my mother’s death, my birth, and the fight to prevent Dominion –
vampire rule over humans. My mother gave her life to keep me safe, but was
unable to protect herself. Now, I can’t escape this fate nor can I escape them
— even if I wanted to. 

This is my story.

Becoming a Jett Girl by Meghan Quinn

becoming-a-jett-girl-by-meghan-quinn-1sm

Synopsis

How did I start the Lafayette Club? 

Well, I’m in the business of saving tarnished souls. I hand pick girls from the street who have no options left in life and give them an opportunity they can’t possibly refuse. 

They come to work in the Lafayette Club which is full of EXQUISITE DEBAUCHERY, where influential men come to conduct business and lap dances are considered a fine art. 

The girls are trained, they are morphed, they are educated, they follow the rules of the club and they know to submit to me. They live by my motto, no relationships, no love, just sex. 

They are never touched, only by me, they are never completely naked, only with me, and their personas are entirely anonymous. The only person who knows who they truly are, is me, Jett Colby. 

If these girls were ever seen on the streets of New Orleans, you would never know they were a Jett Girl

Review

Let me just preface this little review by saying I loved LOVED this book. Oh my goodness. It was downright hilarious. I mean, laugh out loud, squirt a little pee in your panties FUNNY. It was sad, almost devastating at the pain the characters have had to endure. It was sexy as hell with it’s own little “red room of pain’. You know what I’m talkin’ about ladies. This book has it all. An expertly woven back story that popped up and made me gasp. The depth and insecurities of the characters really shone through, and that is something I value greatly while reading. Even if it’s sexy smut.

goldie

Goldie is unlike any lady I’ve ever read before. She is downright crass, brash but so bright and beautiful I could see her; feel her. Her confidence was captivating and her ability to roll with the punches after her life was irrevocably changed from Hurricane Katrina was admirable. Granted, she took roads that maybe aren’t for everyone, but she survived and it led her to Jett.

Jett

Jett. Jett, Jett, oh Jett. He is sexy as hell, charming and filthy stinkin’ rich. But due to some awful circumstances he had to endure with his parents, he is also a crusader for troubled women. He has his own past demons that he uses as a shield to only take what he wants from the women in his life; just sex, no relationships, no love. It’s quite sad really. Everyone needs a caring touch, a loving embrace. Of course, everything in his carefully constructed life starts to crumble when he lets Goldie in. This terrifies him. Will he be able to hold on to her?

Kace Rex

The cast of characters are rounded out with a sexually charged relationship between Goldie and Jett’s right hand man, Kace. I’m telling you, whew doggy, the chemistry there is HOT. As well as Goldie’s “relationship” with Rex, before she meets Jett of course. Let me just say, this girl is crazy lucky to be surrounded by hot as hell men who swoon over her!

There are some special tidbits that I didn’t touch on in this review because I want you to discover the beauty of being a Jett Girl all on your own. This is a must read; an amazing start to a new series. I cannot wait for book two.

EXCERPT:
 
Luke worked his fingers into my hair and tilted my head
back. He placed small kisses down along my neck to the hollow of my throat. I
closed my eyes, savoring the feel of his mouth on my skin.
 
“You smell like cinnamon.” He gently nipped my shoulder.
“And you taste like vanilla. You are a God damn walking dessert.”
 
A small laugh turned into a moan as his thumb brushed my
nipple. Heat pooled in my lower stomach. I tugged at his shirt, desperate to
get it off him. There were too many clothes separating us.
 
Luke stilled my hand. “No, wait.”
 
I glanced up at him. Last I remembered, you didn’t wear
clothes during sex. “No?”
My head grew dizzy with the smell of pure male as his lips
grazed my ear. “I want to take things slow.” He unbuttoned my jeans and dragged
down the zipper. When he caught sight of the bright pink hearts on my thong, a
slow grin spread across his face. “There’s nothing sexier than a woman in
pink.”
 
Capturing my mouth with his, he backed me up against the
wall. Every nerve ending in my body screamed for release. I titled my hips into
his hardness, eliciting a groan from both our lips.
 
“Luke, please,” I begged. “I need you inside me.”

Love of a Rockstar by Nicole Simone Review

Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00071]

3.5 Smooches

kis3 kis2 kis1 kis41

Synopsis

Marlene Parker thought she met her soul mate at eighteen but when he left her pregnant and alone to pursue a life of rock n roll, she vowed to never love again. Now four years later, she is being offered the dream of a lifetime. Moving to France with her daughter to start anew. There is only one problem. Marlene’s formative ex is back in town, and his pull is strong as ever.

Luke Anderson has everything a man could want. Fame, fortune and enough beautiful women to last him a lifetime. That is until a young runaway shows him what is truly important. Family. A word in which plagues Luke with regret. As a scared twenty two year old he ran away from the love of his life and their unborn child. Now ready to reverse his biggest regret with only three days to do it, Luke’s fate hangs in the balance. The question is, will he be able to convince Marlene their love story deserves a second chance?

Review

This was a story about a young woman named Marlene who fell in love with a young musician called Luke and ended up getting pregnant. She had always thought that Luke would stick by her side, but terrified of being a dad so young and wanting to fulfil his dream of becoming a famous rockstar he leaves Marlene before their little one is born and wouldn’t return till 4 years later. Would Luke finally be the man Marlene needed him to be? Would Luke finally be a dad to their child Nil? And even if he does will Marlene allow him the chance to rectify his mistakes and be a part of their lives again?

“The problem was, Luke wasn’t a man you could get out of your system. Once you got a taster, you lusted for more.”

I had a real love-hate relationship with this book, not so much hate actually but more annoyance. It had all the perfect ingredients to be a great story and there definitely were some great aspects but it just fell short for me.

I LOVED the plot and the idea of the story. A good romance with the slight rocker aspect and an adorable little child. A heartbreak that needs to be mended and a man ready to prove he is worthy and ready to be a husband and dad. It was a great romance and it kept me entertained with elements such as: Will they? Won’t they? Nil, who was the cutest little girl and played a big role within the story and finally the other little parts of the story such as Fin trying hard to keep Marlene and wondering if he would succeed, along with Marlene’s hilarious grandmother.

“In all seriousness though, your perfect exactly how you are. I can’t believe I walked out on the best thing that has ever happened to me.”

However I sometimes found the writing style just didn’t suit me. I didn’t enjoy the story as much as I should have and I believe that was down to the style of writing and the flow of the story which just didn’t work 100% for me. I also didn’t like how quickly it all seemed to be solved at the very end. I also would have loved more of the story to be about Luke’s rockstar lifestyle considering the title is “Love of a Rockstar.” I did enjoy the characters but I didn’t feel massively connected to them either and again I think this was one of the reasons why I couldn’t fully enjoy the story.

“Our love story shouldn’t have had an end. Only a beginning.”

There is definitely potential here and I finished this book and was quite happy to, like I said the plot was entertaining and the characters enjoyable and that’s why I give it 3.5. Just more development of characters and maybe a look into the flow of writing and the author is definitely onto some great work.
I look forward to reading more and seeing how she progresses.

“His absence from my life didn’t change the fact that he was my Kryptonite.”

SYNOPSIS:
The I Love My… Trilogy is the box
set of the entire “I Love My…” romance series. It’s jam-packed with “I Love My
Healed Heart” “I Love My Side of The Story” and “I Love My Fire” —three whole
novels, just shy of 200,000 words! In the intertwining erotic romance stories

Casting Director Amber Monroe, and Passionate Painter Nicole Henry) we fall in
love with their friendships, their quirks, and most of all, their hot as hell
men! Jessica’s been cheated on, Amber’s in a stale relationship, Nicole’s been
single for three years, and against the electric backdrop of New York City,
they battle their way to true love with the help of each other and a loyalty
you will love.
“If
women acted this way across the globe, men would only be able to cheat with
each other because the sisterhood would be so strong.” – Amazon Review

EXCERPT:
 
I never thought I’d be the type of girl
to answer a sex ad. They were gross, laughed at, ridiculously disturbing even.
But then there are those posts tonight that cause my mind to question the
masses, the ones that beckon me, like: “Use me like I’m him” and “I’m free of
judgment – and in New York for only one night.” The latter one really catches
my attention.
Why am I looking? Because I am at the
height of my sexual prime and even though my heart hurts from the loser
boyfriend that just under two months ago ended our relationship without my
consent, I want it. Sex. I want a man’s body on top of mine.  I want the pressure of his chest against me –
the weight of him, the smell of him, on top of me. Behind me. Underneath me.
Next. To. Me. 
I want it.  So I answered one.
Will I tell anyone I answered the
ad?  Hell, no. 
While I’m sitting on my couch with my
glass of Pinot Grigio, watching an episode of So You Think You Can Dance, I hear it…the unmistakable sound of an
email alert on my phone. It could be more spam from my credit cards. It could
be a notice that someone liked my post on Facebook (I really need to turn those
alerts off), or it could be my ticket out of this boredom and anger. I consider
waiting for the commercial break to check it… Yeah, right. I reach for the
phone.
The email reads, “I loved what you had
to say. You’re really funny. And if those pics you sent are real, I’d love to
meet you. Where are you now?”
My heart starts
to race.
 
AUTHOR BIO:
 
Sabrina Lacey used to shoot photography and for
a while, fashion. She was like Diego, the photographer in I Love My Healed Heart who worked the tents at Fashion Week. It
gave Sabrina all the insight she needed to create a fantastical tale about the
glamorous lives those people don’t really live. 😉 Now she lives in Los
Angeles, CA. with her dog Pippin. He
wouldn’t comment for this bio. He’s an enigma, that one. A tiny, fluffy, white
Maltese, enigma who captured her heart and ran with it. She however would like
to say that she loves you for coming
along for the ride.  Cheers and Happy
Reading!

Unable To Resist by Cassie Graham Blog Tour and Giveaway

Title: Unable to Resist

Author: Cassie Graham

Release Date: June 10, 2014

Find on Goodreads

Ann is haunted by a past that won’t let go. The secrets lurking in Arizona are too much to handle, making a move to Nashville her best chance of survival. Her bakery is enough to keep her mind busy during the day, but the night brings nightmares that threaten to rip her in two. Tired of just living life rather than experiencing it, she’s ready to fight her demons and emerge the victor.

Only—she doesn’t know how to do that alone.

Duane has a lot on his plate. A lawyer for a prestigious law firm and a ranch owner, he hardly has enough time to breathe, let alone date. But all of that changes when he meets Ann.

A chance encounter at a bar brings them together, but it’s fate that shoves them into each other’s lives for reasons they will soon unveil together.

Can Ann open her heart and let Duane in?

Unable to Resist is a story about love, loss and finding healing in unlikely places.

Barnes & Noble

He pulls my hand to his chest, just above his heart, and I feel the strong, steady beat. “My heart only knows one thing for sure.”

I look at our hands, a smile playing on my lips. “And, what’s that?”

He puts a finger under my chin and brings my face up to meet his eyes. “That I want you to be mine. I don’t want to share, Red.”

He looks intently at my face for a moment without wavering, confirming the intensity in the room. “I need to hear you say it,” he breathes out, finally.

I suddenly feel incredibly wanted and my confidence level boosts to an all-time high.

“I,” my lips kiss his chest, “am,” I lightly lick his neck, “yours.”

Duane let’s out an animalistic growl and flips me onto my back, thoroughly ending our conversation with hungry kisses.

Ann is Cassie’s middle name and Duane is Cassie’s husband’s middle name.

____________________

Ann is originally from Arizona, as is Cassie.

____________________

Cassie has an intense love for baking, which is why she decided to write Ann as a baker.

For most of her life, Cassie rode and showed horses. She felt like she had to write a badass cowboy because they are seriously amazing.

The song, Unable to Resist was written by Cassie and her best friend April.

Originally, Unable to Resist was set in Seattle, and Duane wasn’t a lawyer, he was an author.

Cassie Graham is first and foremost, a wife and mother. She has one crazy daughter and a just as nutters husband that she loves dearly. She lives in sunny–all be it, scorching Arizona, where the summers are ridiculously hot and the winters are perfection. She’d pick winter any day.

Cassie went to school to be a teacher, but quit to become a proud military wife in 2010. During that time, she found her passion to write. Being a loud and proud choirgirl in school, she needed another creative outlet and writing seemed like the perfect fit.

If Cassie isn’t writing, she’s more than likely cooking for her family or has her nose buried deep in a book. She finds inspiration in all things. Movies, music, and life fuel her characters’ lives, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Review

I was given a copy of this book for an honest review. Let me start by saying that I read A LOT. IF I am not working or being a mom, I am reading. And I think that is why when I read this book, I felt like I had read it before. To me it is a great story of finding oneself mixed with a little mystery and drama, but it stops short because it feels like a rerun.

Ann has lost everything, her parents, her boyfriend, and moves to a town and denies herself love for over 7 years. Duane (I had a little issue with the name, I keep thinking of “The Rock”) is a farmer/lawyer/singer who literally runs into Ann at a bar. One thing leads to another and Duane shows up at Ann’s house to represent her in the case regarding the death of her father.

The character development for Ann was great, but I wanted more about Duane. He seemed so rugged and loved farm-life, but I wanted to know why he picked law school, when he hated it so much.

The book was told in 2 points of view, which I always like, but it needed more! I wanted more interactions between Ann and Duane, and we needed to hear more from Ann’s bestie Liv! I did find the tension between Ann and Duane very evolving and felt like a real relationship that was condensed from a 3 year courtship down to a week. I mean I think true love and love at first site exists, but getting engaged after a week might be a little too much!

Little Black Book by Tabatha Vargo and Melissa Andrea Book Blitz

Title: Little Black Book
Author: Tabatha Vargo & Melissa Andrea
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Publication Date: June 27, 2014

 

My name’s Sebastian Black, and I want to buy you. I could have any woman I want, but I choose you.
NO RELATIONSHIP, JUST SEX.

Here’s my offer…
I’ll put your name in my LITTLE BLACK BOOK, and when I want you, I’ll call you. When I call, you’re going to come, in more ways than one. It will be mutually pleasurable for both of us.

There are only two rules:
DON’T EVER DENY ME.
DON’T FALL IN LOVE.

If you do either, I’ll remove you from my book and payment stops.

Do we have an understanding?

“This book was amazing, super sexy, heart breaking, stomach in knots kind of awesome.” ~ Eye Candy Bookstore

“From the very first scene, it grabbed my attention – who knew a threesome could be so deliciously hot. This book set my little finger on fire – I couldn’t flip the pages on my kindle fast enough.” ~ Deliciously Wicked Books

 

About Tabitha: 
 

Tabatha is a sweet tea sippin’, front porch sittin’ kind of girl from South Carolina. She loves old, historical anything, wind chimes, and all things romantic. She is the mother of an 8 y/o rock star/princess and the wife of her very own Prince Charming.
When she isn’t writing, she’s texting book ideas to herself.

About Melissa:

Reading has always been a passion for me and writing is as instinctive as breathing. Every inhale is an idea; every exhale a creation. Flutter, The Discover Series was my debut release and since then I have written a contemporary romance, The Edge of Darkness. The only thing I do better than writing? Making beautiful, sassy and independent, girls. My daughters will always be my greatest accomplishment, my biggest fans and my every inspiration. I live, breath and would die for them! I’ve been married to one of the greatest men in my life for 7 years and I love him more than chocolate (you know shit just got real :), Justin Timberlake and Friday’s. Without him my website would be a mess and I would probably be paying more taxes than I should. He is a jack of many trades and this is just my opinion but I like to think besides my daughters, I’m his second biggest accomplishment. (Does anyone else hear a horn tooting?)

I was born in Denver, Colorado -but I will always think of sunny Arizona as my home. I don’t have a big family, but I’m close with my sister, brother & my mom. My mom is my hero, my inspiration, and I couldn’t have asked for a more amazing person to be raised by. She has supported me throughout this crazy adventure and I’m lucky to have her on my side!
