Beholden To You Synopsis:

On the heels of tragic loss, the stunning and innocent Natalie Mason, meets handsome business mogul Mac Carter. As Natalie attempts to pick up the pieces of her shattered life, circumstances beyond her control draw her and Mac into a situation she wants kept secret. The two are a matched set having both experienced immense loss in their lives. Uncertain of what she should do, she decides to give fate a chance, opening her heart to Mac, who just wants to love her.

But the past, who often times takes no prisoners, rears its ugly head in a double dose. Mac’s ex-girlfriend cannot accept that their love affair is over and takes drastic measures through deception and blackmail to ensure that Mac will be hers.

Natalie, on the other hand, has to face the one responsible for her sister’s death. As her journey begins to bring justice and closure, the past transports to her feet an unexpected surprise—a long lost love desiring to posses her as his once again.

Will Mac and Natalie’s newly blossoming love be able to endure what the past has delivered or will the victors of their hearts be the old flames who are staking their claim?

Dreamcast

Excerpt 1:

Closing the door behind me, I was grateful to be back in my own room. Peeling out of my clothes, I quickly got into the shower. It felt like an oasis, the water caressing my body. Thoughts of Mac and I in bed were coming back to me like rapid fire from a machine gun. These thoughts startled me as my body began to respond to the pictures in my mind. Mac knew his way around a female’s body and it certainly felt as though he had pulled out all the stops with me. When I closed my eyes I could visualize his head between my legs. The memory of it made my insides clench down deep. Then I remembered the culmination of his efforts and my body’s response in a tantalizing orgasm. It was unlike anything I had ever experienced before.

I had to push those thoughts out of my head because the whole situation was crazy. We got married, and he didn’t seem to be taken aback by it. In fact, he was calm about the whole thing. Strange reaction for a guy. I felt kind of bad for running out of there like I did, but when I fell on him, things became real—too real. I began remembering in that moment our intimate interaction, and for a split second, I thought about surrendering to my desire for him. Again. Willingly. While sober. If I had, we’d be in bed together, and he’d be doing…

Mac proclaims love

Excerpt 2:

She looked so open and carefree, that all I wanted to do was scoop her into my arms and kiss her. “I’m going to lay my cards on the table, no pun intended. I like you. I have from the moment you walked into the Statton’s kitchen. I’d like for us to get to know each other better and I want to start dating you when we return to San Diego. How do you feel about that?”

Natalie looked down at her hands for a moment. When she looked up at me she had a coy smile on her face. “I’d like that.”

I was so happy I acted on impulse. I leaned in and kissed her, gently at first, but then I couldn’t hold back and I invaded her mouth with my tongue, stroking hers in an erotic dance. My hands found her waist and I pulled her toward me, positioning her on top of me, her legs straddling my hips. She kissed me back with a passion I hadn’t experienced before, like she had been dying to be kissed and I was the cure. I untied her robe and slid my hands around her ribs. She was wearing a tank top and boxers. I debated running my hands over her breasts, but in light of her inexperience, I didn’t want to move too fast. So I just continued kissing her, pulling her body close to mine as she moaned in my mouth, causing my blood to overheat. I wanted her and I wanted her bad.

Penetrated heart

Excerpt 3:

Natalie went to shower, and after getting dressed, I went to place our order with Trina. When breakfast was ready and Natalie had still not come up, I decided to check on her. As I approached the bathroom, I heard sobs coming from within.

“Baby, are you okay?”

She just cried more.

“Can I come in?”

“Okay,” her trembling voice answered.

I could see her gorgeous body shaking through the clear shower door. I grabbed the towel off the rack, opened the door, and took her by the hand. Stepping out of the shower, I wrapped both the towel and my arms around her. Continuing to cry, she choked out, “I’m sorry.”

“Shh. There’s nothing to be sorry about. It’s only natural for you to be sad.”

“I just miss her, Mac. So much.”

“I know, baby, I know.”

Review

I actually just finished reviewing The Killer Next Door Series of Carlie Sexton’s, so I just dove right in.  This book is a spin off of The Killer Next Door books and it is Mac’s and Natalie’s story.  Let me tell you right now, I LOVED this story!  It had it all; drunken Las Vegas marriages, smokin hot sex, scheming asshole ex’s, and tons of angst.  This book moved along at a much quicker pace than Carlie’s previous books.  I really enjoyed that aspect.  I really felt like the writing was just more comfortable.

The sex was totally off the charts hot in this book and Mac was even hotter.  Seriously!  Mac Carter is every girls dream man.  Sexy, kind, romantic, patient, and alpha!  Did I say patient?  He was wayyy too hella patient , if you ask me.  Even Natalie was having wet dreams about him.  I waited the whole damn book ,practically, for a hot sex scene.  All the heavy petting, dry humping, and kissing had me a damn hot mess.  Whew and when they finally got it on….well….

It was good for me.  Was it good for you?

It was really, really good, I mean.

The only thing that I wished were different is that Carlie had written a point of view for Cassie.  I am just being picky because I think she writes an awesome sociopath and wackadoodle Cassie had the potential to be a bigger part of the story.  I liked this book even better than The Killer Next Door Series.  This book felt more put together and polished, I think.  I feel Carlie’s writing is only getting better and better.  I cannot wait to see what comes next.  4 out of 5 smooches, lady!

Synopsis

Eight years ago, Sophie gave her heart—and her virginity—to Zach Barrett on a night that couldn’t have been less romantic or more embarrassing. Zach’s step-brother, a steely-muscled, tattooed biker named Ruger, caught them in the act, getting a peep show of Sophie he’s never forgotten.

She may have lost her dignity that fateful night, but Sophie also gained something precious—her son Noah. Unfortunately, Zach’s a deadbeat dad, leaving Ruger to be Noah’s only male role model. When he discovers Sophie and his nephew living in near poverty, Ruger takes matters into his own hands—with the help of the Reapers Motorcycle Club—to give them a better life.

Living with outlaw bikers wasn’t Sophie’s plan for her son, but Ruger isn’t giving her a choice. He’ll be there for Noah, whether she wants him or not. But Sophie does want him, has always wanted him. Now she’ll learn that taking a biker to bed can get a girl dirty in every way…

Review

I have been a fan of MC (Motorcycle Club) books for quite some time now. They are bloody, violent, and rude. I love that! I guess you could say that I like a little violence with my erotica.

When I first read Reaper’s Property by Joanna Wylde, I couldn’t put it down! I fell in love with the Reapers and how they lived and loved.

This second installment in the Reapers books does NOT disappoint. For all you fellow ‘straight-talkers’, Ruger will not let you down. He is extremely blunt, extremely hot and extremely loyal. Don’t let the commentary in his head fool you, he loves only Sophie.

There are quite a few twists and turns and crazy shit that happens, some of it was predictable, some of it not. I really enjoyed the relationship that the heroine, Sophie, has with her seven year old son Noah. There were quite a few moments there where I could totally relate. How she parented him, even at such a young age was nice to read about.

This is a fairly predictable MC read; full of couple angst and kidnappings, but the love between Ruger and Sophie shines through and at the end of the day, that’s what is most enjoyable to read about. At least for me.

I HIGHLY recommend the Reapers series, Reaper’s Property and the newest release Reaper’s Legacy by Joanna Wylde.

Synopsis

If you believe your life is the sum total of your choices, what do you do when things just don’t add up? You are about to find out. It won’t be pretty. It won’t be dull. And surely, it won’t be safe. In fact, making just one wrong choice could put evil at your bedside watching you sleep.

And so it is with Kate Simmons, a young woman who, by choosing to regain her life, actually puts it at risk by the very choices she makes. After unimaginable heartbreak stops her world on a dime, Kate falls into a three-year blackness of self blame that brings her to the edge of life, itself. As time finally brings light back through tiny cracks of renewed desire, Kate moves out of the prison she made for herself in her mother’s home to find a new reality, rooming with her best girlfriend, Charlie.

Yet, to be free is to be vulnerable, and Kate’s choices more than ever mark a splattered line between being happy and being dead.

Care to choose? Here’s your menu:
A strangely alluring building manager so possessed with wanting you for his own, he’ll bury more than the fact he has a girlfriend; a buff college student for whom you are clearly hot, as are all the other girls on campus; a pushy lawyer who is as handsome as he is intoxicated with conquest, who doesn’t take no for an answer, who gets what he wants — always.

Sometimes, it’s whom you choose. Sometimes, it’s who chooses you. If you’re Kate, it’s both, and it puts you on a perilous road where good looks and humor are the thin masks of jealous delusion and utter violence.

You’re in trouble when the sum total of your choices is written in blood red.

Review

When we received these books from Carlie I was so excited!  I’ve had them on my TBR list forever!  I’ve seen Ms. Carlie Sexton out there pimping her books left and right, so I have to give her mad props.  Girlfriend is working hard to sell her books and that convinced me I needed to read them.  So, when I saw them come in, I was all like take your greedy book boyfriend stealing hands off of these Miranda and Nicole, this review is mine!  I am glad that I snatched them up.  I really did enjoy these books.

The first book in this series Fallen For You, started off a little slow for me.  For the first 30% of the book I was beating my head against my kindle and muttering let’s fucking move this along, shall we?  But now, looking back I feel those slow chapters were necessary.  It gave background information and really sets up the reader for the all out craziness that is Roger.  I am going to come back to Roger’s cray cray ass in a bit.

For now, I want you to imagine moving out of your mom’s house into an apartment with your bestie.  Your gorgeous, in school full time, and have an awesome job doing something you love.  You even have the attention of three gorgeous men!  Winning, right?  Except one of those men is a crazy ass stalking serial killer and he wants to marry you and have you be his baby’s momma.  FAIL!  Run, bitch, run!  And so that is what Kate does.  But can she get away from Roger The Psycho with the help of her sexy as hell and romantic new boyfriend?

OK, now I want to talk more about Roger.  He was my absolute favorite character in this series.  He is a crazy as hell serial killer and complete sociopath.  I LOVED reading his point of view.  This probably makes me an awful person but I even thought his sex scenes were the hottest.  He was one creepy good looking mother fucker and he had me entranced.  Damn you Roger!  I hate you but your still so hot.  I’m so disgusted with myself now.

I definitely recommend picking these books up.  They are different than anything I’ve read lately.  The sex scenes were steamy with plenty of dirty talk.  The romance scenes were sweet and full of love.  The dark scenes were creepy as hell and my absolute favorite part.  I should add that if you buy one of these books, you better buy them all.  There is no conclusion at the end of any of these books.  They read like one big book.  Don’t get left hanging.  4 Smooches out of 5, Ms. Sexton! 🙂

P.S.  I will also be reviewing Beholden to You by Carlie Sexton soon!
