Torn by tragedy. Reunited by love.

Two years ago, I lost my husband and my brother to the same tragedy. To this day, I hold only one person responsible—Aiden Rogers, the beautiful boy I’ve known forever, the misfit I’ve both loved and hated, the one who always got to me. As far as I’m concerned, he’s the only one to blame.

Now he wants to be part of my life again—when I can finally see a future for my son and myself. I’ve found the perfect man in David, someone I can start over with, a man who will be the perfect father figure for Trevor. I have a plan. At last, I see the light, and I know I can make this work.

I will not let Aiden Rogers drag me back into the darkness.

Author’s note: contains sexual scenes and some coarse language.

This is the first book of the Riverstone Estate Series and can be enjoyed as a standalone read.

***
The Riverstone Series: A beautiful estate. Three unforgettable love stories.

Following the sudden passing of their father, Amber, Ruby, and Flynn Riverstone inherit the family estate and find themselves facing new challenges, growing closer, and discovering love along the way.

Excerpt

“The dress will need to come off,” I tell her with a playful smile—I want her to feel at ease.

She turns to the side and unzips herself, reaches for the skirt of her dress, and pulls it over her head. She’s wearing a sexy pink lace bra and matching thong. I wonder if she slipped those on thinking of me. Or David? I wonder how long it would take me to rip it all off. She peeks at me through her lashes, still shy but aroused. Her gaze finally reaches mine, and it’s pleading, begging me to come to her.

I kneel in front of her. I desperately want to kiss her—she’s just so beautiful. But I know that if I kiss her, I’ll get lost in her and I’ll want to make love to her. She and I together is a very bad plan. Too much history there, and even after all we’ve been through, I can only see her as Paul’s girl. But right now, she’s just a woman who desperately needs to touched, and I’m the man who desperately wants to touch her. I trace the lacy edges of her bra with my finger. She’s breathing so hard her chest is heaving. I pull the fabric with a finger and tuck it under, revealing her breast. Wow. Her nipple is pink, hard, and begging to be licked, but if I go there, I won’t be able to stop myself. I know myself too well.

She closes her eyes again, and I take her in—her soft stomach, her sexy legs. I eagerly make my way down. I stroke her thighs gently again, and she opens her legs for me. She’s arousing me so much it’s painful. I trail my hand between her thighs where she’s wet—the soft fabric, what little there is of it, is soaked.

She throws her head back, her mouth open—she’s gasping for air. Finding her wet like this and wanting to be inside her so badly, is so fucking hard on me. I try to remind myself that this isn’t about me; it’s about her. As bad as I want to do all the things to her I shouldn’t be doing, I know I can’t. I’m on a mission.

I reach for the string of her thong and tug down. I’d planned to be soft with her, but I find myself being hard. She props her rear up and her hands press against the mattress, tangled in the sheets. As I struggle with the fabric, she reaches for it and pulls the thong down with me. It’s clear that she wants it off. In that moment, I forget all about myself. All I want to do is please her and make her come.

I’ve never seen her like this. I steal a moment to savour the sight of her small patch of neatly trimmed hair and tempting pink lips. I’m so hard as I slip my finger along her wetness, slowly teasing her. I explore further, up along her sex to her sweet spot.

“Your body is yours, Amber.” I know her. I know a big chunk of guilt is probably lingering at the back of her mind, and I just want her to let go of that and enjoy the moment. “No one has a hold on it but you. It’s yours. All I want to do is to make you feel good like this. It doesn’t have to be anything more. Do you want this? If you don’t, tell me to stop, and I will.”

She lets out a cry and squirms as I pull my hand away for a second. She doesn’t need to say a single word. It’s crystal clear—she desperately wants me to make her come.

Filthy images play in my mind as I imagine all the things I would love to do to her. I’d love her legs wrapped around my head. I’d drive her wild, taking her to the edge and swiftly pulling back only to wrench her hard against me again. I’d sink into her and get completely lost in her. But I can’t do all those things, as much as I would love to. I can’t take this too far.

I’ve been cruel long enough. I’ve teased her plenty. It’s just so amazing to finally touch her. I reach for her sweet spot and feel her hard clit on the tips of my fingers. She wails and spreads her legs wider. I’ll take her over the edge in a few seconds, but I selfishly want this moment to last forever. Watching her like this—panting, a perfect breast hanging out of her delicate bra, legs spread wide for me—it’s the most gorgeous sight. I pull away from her, greedy as fuck. I want to hear her cry, to hear her beg. She winces as I pull my hand away. She opens her beautiful eyes, silently asking me why I’m being such a tease.

“Close your eyes,” I order, and she does. I don’t want her to see what I’m about to do. I close my eyes as I bring my finger to my nose and inhale her scent. It’s just as I always imagined. Then I draw my wet fingers to my mouth and taste her—so, so sweet.

“Please,” she begs. “Don’t stop.”

It’s just what I need to hear. With just another sweep or two of my fingers along her slick sex, she arches her back off the bed, opens her beautiful eyes to look at me again, and I finally make her come.

Seeing Amber, who is always so contained, so put-together, so perfect, get lost under my touch is unbelievable. The sight of her tiny hands grasping my mattress, her beautiful mouth wide open, the sweet sound of her cries bouncing off my walls—it’s almost too much. I’ve dreamed about this scenario dozens of times, and the real thing is even better than it ever was in my imagination.

REVIEW – SWEET DREAMS (Sugar Rush #1) by Nina Lane

September 30, 2016October 2, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

A new standalone sexy contemporary romance by New York Times bestselling author Nina Lane!

He may own a candy company, but this wealthy bachelor is no Willy Wonka.

Sugar Rush Candy Company CEO Luke Stone is a devoted businessman who doesn’t do relationships. He does short-term affairs with clearly defined rules. But when a sexy bohemian angel propositions him in a bar, Luke is tempted to want more.

Polly Lockhart is horrified when she wakes the morning after her twenty-third birthday to realize she made a fool of herself with a sinfully delicious man. She tells herself she doesn’t have time for romance anyway, as she’s fighting to keep her mother’s beloved bakery afloat and finish her culinary studies. That all changes when her class tours the famed Sugar Rush headquarters, and Polly collides with her dream man again.

As she succumbs to their hot attraction, Polly soon realizes her bakery isn’t the only thing that needs saving. Luke, driven and unyielding, will burn out unless someone convinces him to taste the sweetness of life. But can Polly remember this sugar rush is only temporary?

*****Mel’s Review*****

5 “You’re Everything” Stars!
(ARC provided by author)

Polly Lockhart is a woman living in Rainsville, California, a small town south of San Francisco. Her mother passed away about ten months ago, and she’s been trying desperately to keep her mother’s bakery afloat. She loves The Wild Child Bakery & wants to follow in her mother’s footsteps. So while she’s trying to avoid bankruptcy with the bakery, she’s also attending a nearby community college & working on earning her Culinary Arts certificate.

Mr. Hottie is Luke Stone, the CEO of The Sugar Rush Candy Company. Luke is a hot, wealthy, successful bachelor who doesn’t make promises to women or do commitments. He’d been burned in the past by women, so he now didn’t let them get too close to him. He’s a workaholic who took over his family owned business eleven years ago. He lives & breathes his job & rarely relaxes or takes a break. He’s always focused first on protecting the company.

Luke is immediately attracted to the bohemian beauty coming on to him, but she’s had too much to drink for him to act on his attraction. Polly thinks she embarrassed herself with Luke & doesn’t expect to see him again, so she is shocked when her class tours his company headquarters & they once again cross paths. Sparks fly & they begin spending time together.

Soon they both grow quite attached to one another & feelings develop. What was supposed to be just fun and casual turns into more. Polly helps Luke really stop & enjoy life again. He begins to slow down & have some fun with this beautiful woman he’s falling for.

I loved this book so much! It was fun and flirty & I adored the sexy candy man Luke Stone aka Mr. Hottie. I can’t wait to get more of the Stone brothers! Bring on Evan!!! ;))

-Luke Stone had come into her life right when she needed someone like him the most.

-From the instant she’d seen Luke Stone, she hadn’t wanted any other man. She only wanted him.

-“You belong with me.”

-“I need you to be mine.”

-“I love everything about you.”

-“You are the glaze on my doughnut, the sugar on my cookie, and the chocolate on my eclair.”

*****FIVE SINFULLY SWEET STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

It felt like he’d first seen her a lifetime ago, when in reality it had only been a couple of months. And yet, Polly had filled him so completely, her presence so softening and soothing, that somehow without his even realizing it, she’d become part of him.

It’s looking to me like Nina Lane has the makings of anotherHIT on her hands. I will always love her Spiral of Bliss series but now I am convinced that Ms. Lane is FAR from a one hit wonder. There was never a doubt in my mind that she could write a story that I was going to fall in love with but I didn’t think there was a chance that the Hero could be as captivating and swoon-worthy as Dean West. I was proven wrong!! Ladies, get ready to meet your next book boyfriend who is going to melt your panties and get your hearts racing!! You are going to fall for this utterly delicious alpha male – Luke Stone!!!

Polly Lockhart is a young woman who hasn’t really begun to live her life yet. She put her dreams on hold temporarily and had left college to come back home in order to help her very sick mother run the family bakery. Almost a year after her mother’s death, Polly is still living at home and trying to figure out how to bring her mother’s thriving bakery back to life so she has started to take culinary courses at the local community college in hopes of learning new skills that will help her do just that. Having spent most of her time taking care of her mother has caused Polly to put romance on the back burner. She had been seeing someone she met at school but the guy’s idea of a Friday night date was to hang out in his parent’s basement eating take out Indian food and playing World of Warcraft. Polly’s boring existence is about to get injected with a good dose of a sugar rush when she meets the extremely gorgeous CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Corporation during a birthday celebration night out with her girlfriend!!

Luke Stone catches Polly’s eye at a local bar and with a healthy dose of birthday cake shots to lower her inhibitions, she tries to hit on the handsome stranger. At first, she thinks she completely bombed with the man but later on the two share a passionate kiss where she begs him to take her back to his bed so that they can get even better acquainted. Let’s just say the birthday cake shots end up ruining Polly’s plans of seduction and she winds up being taken home without getting the handsome stranger’s name or number!!! The stars and fate will lend her a hand when she runs into Luke during her culinary class’ tour of Sugar Rush Candy Corp. the following day.

Luke and Polly end up starting a tentative romance. He makes it clear that he’s never been involved with a woman for too long, and that all his relationships have an impending expiration date. Polly is going into this thing with Luke only looking to have her toes curled by getting some mind numbing sex from a real alpha male. Polly is one adorable and utterly charming Heroine. Her spunky attitude and in-depth knowledge of astrology have a bewitching effect over Luke. This woman’s innocence and desire to enjoy life to the fullest helps Luke realize that maybe there’s more to life than just running his family’s corporation.

I have to take a moment to mention that the steam level in this story is freaking out of this universe HOT!!! Ladies, depending on how fast you read, I’d say you’re going to go through at least a few panty changes during this story. Nina Lane delivers her usual signature delicious schmexy in this one!!! You’ll definitely understand why I fell so hard for Luke!!!

As the two grow closer, will they both be able to try for something more or will their fears and outside influences cause Luke and Polly to go on their separate paths?

Nina Lane fans and those of you who haven’t read any of her books yet, you will not be disappointed with this story!! I highly recommend that you make this your very next read!!!

After tracking her down to a casino in St. Croix, Cal follows Zee back to Tortola where he intends to keep her safe. One problem: Zelda’s criminal liaisons are two steps ahead of her.

Lives are threatened, and all of the players’ skills are tested in this plot to capture a killer and save a princess.

*****Dee’s Review*****

3.5 Sweet Stars****

(ARC kindly provided by author in exchange for an honest review)

A very sweet and heartwarming friends to lovers story brought to us by the pen of the talented Roya Carmen. I love it when an author tries something completely different, and RC pleasantly surprised me with this new book.

Relatable characters, a gorgeous setting, and a sweet romantic story.

Amber lost her husband and twin brother two years ago in a terrible car accident. She blames Aiden, her childhood nemesis for the accident. They all grew up together, a group of four boys and her, the only girl, a band of misfits, they used to call themselves.

They grew up running around the farm, riding horses and climbing trees. When they got older Amber and Paul got together and later married. Aidan had always loved Amber, only he would get her attention by teasing her when they were kids. These two were always fighting.
When Amber married his best friend, it was too much for Aiden to bear, so he left town with the mission to forget about his love for her.

Amber and Aiden always had feelings for each other but the timing was never right, and now tragedy has pushed them further apart.

Years later, and after the accident, Aiden still loves Amber and her son Trevor, he misses them, and wants back into their lives, but Amber has other plans. She wants someone plain and uncomplicated, after losing so much, she’s ready to settle down for someone who will give her peace, and being around Aiden wrecks havoc, and she wants none of that.

David is a nice friend back from college, he’s nice and good looking enough, but why is it that every time Amber is with him, she’s only thinking about Aiden? How long can she keep her feelings for him at bay?

Amber is very scared, she’s lost so much and is eager to simply live an uneventful life. Aiden is messy, sexy, passionate and he’s always wanted Amber. A forbidden love and painful secrets have prevented him from moving on with his life, for him, everything starts and ends with Amber.

It won’t be an easy road for these two friends to trust each other again and start fresh. The attraction between them is too strong to ignore. Will they be able to forgive and forget?

This is the first book in this very promising series. The next book is about Amber’s sister, Ruby. She was a spitfire of a character and I can’t wait to read her journey into love.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****3.75 STARS*****
{ARC Provided by Author}

She’s still Paul’s girl—even if he’s been gone for over two years now. She’s still his. Making a move on her would be a betrayal to him.
But God, every single time I look at her, I want to touch her.

Loving Amber is a friends-to-lovers story that begins with a devastating loss. Amber Riverstone and Aiden Rogers have been friends since their early childhood days. Aiden was actually best friends with Amber’s older brother Flynn, twin brother Ken, and her childhood sweetheart turned husband, Paul. The guys only let her join their private all boys club after she bribed them with her baked goods. Aiden has loved Amber for quite some time but as a kid, he often pretended to loathe her since he knew that her heart only belonged to Paul.

Later on, when Paul and Amber get engaged, Aiden decides to leave town because he’s unable to watch the woman he loves marry his best friend. But Aiden does return a couple of years later with his own fiancé and on the night of his bachelor party, he’s in a car accident that takes the lives of Paul and Amber’s brother, Ken. Amber is so overcome with grief and ends up taking all of her anger, unjustly out on poor Aiden. Several years have gone by and Aiden has kept his distance from Amber and her son, even though not a single day goes by that he doesn’t ask her older brother, Flynn, about their well-being.

Eventually, Flynn is able to convince Amber to invite Aiden over to a family dinner. There is a definite white hot spark that flows between these two. We learn through flashbacks that they have shared two kisses—one when they were teenagers and the second was right before the accident that took Paul’s and Ken’s lives. They both try so very hard to fight their attraction for each other. Amber tries to start a relationship with a business partner but the chemistry just isn’t there.

Amber is often very hot & cold throughout this story and I had a very hard time relating to her. More often than not, I found myself feeling irritated with this character. I couldn’t understand why poor Aiden was placing her on such a high pedestal and subjected himself to her cold and often cruel behavior.

Overall, this was an enjoyable read with a hefty dose of steam. The first in a series of books. Each book will be about a different Riverstone sibling.

REVIEW – TRANSFER (The Retrieval Duet Book 2) by Aly Martinez

September 30, 2016September 30, 2016Leave a comment

SYNOPSIS:

One story. Two couples.

I fell in love with a man who didn’t exist.

What started out as romance ended in hell.
His words turned to razor blades.
His kisses converted to fists.
His embrace became my cage.
His body transformed into a weapon, stealing parts of me until ultimately….
I broke.

I hated him.
My sole job in life became to protect our daughter.

I wasn’t sure I’d ever escape the prison he’d skillfully crafted from my fears.
Until the day our savior arrived.

This is the story of how I escaped the man who thought he owned me.
The transfer of my life and my family.

She was beautiful; no one could deny that. But she had this glimmer in her defeated eyes that spoke to my soul in ways others could never understand.

I am totally and completely BLOWN AWAY by The Retrieval Duet series!! How can you go wrong with a series that hasTWO incredibly sexy and alpha male heroes, and two kickass heroines??!! I fell so completely head over heels in love with Roman during the first book that I didn’t think my heart could be stolen by another–BOY WAS I WRONG!!!! If you haven’t read RETRIEVAL yet, then this is where I will tell you to skip the rest of my review because I will be revealing something that you don’t find out till the very end of that one. For those of you who have read Retrieval, get ready to fall in love with a new Hero!! Heath Light is equally as alpha and swoon-worthy as Roman, if not more!!!

The story picks up where the previous book left off. Heath and Roman were able to rescue Clare and Tessa from Walt. Unfortunately, Walt has escaped and has gone into hiding. While at the hospital, Clare learns who Luke/Heath really is and at first has feelings of resentment but she’ll soon come to see that this man was her savior and possibly even her soul mate. Since Walt is still on the loose, Clare and Tessa end up staying at Roman and Lissy’s home, where they have a top of the line security system and a ton of body guards to guarantee their safety. Everything is rapidly changing in Clare’s life and nothing is certain anymore. She struggles with her fears of the unknown and of whether or not Lissy will try to claim Tessa since she is her biological mother. Heath is always there by her side to provide her the calm and stability she so desperately needs. Little Tessa has also formed an intense bond with Heath and there isn’t anything he wouldn’t do to keep those two safe and happy.

Heath’s boss tries to kick him off the Walter Noir case due to his connection to Clare, but there isn’t anything or anyone that is going to keep him from protecting the woman and child that he has grown to love. So he promises that he will keep it professional with Clare. That will prove to be quite impossible for Heath when Clare turns to him for more than just comfort and let’s just say I felt my own temperature rising when Heath lets Clare take what she REALLY wants from him!!

During their time together the two couples will form strong friendships and Tessa finds herself surrounded by a new blended family to shower her with an abundance of love. But all is not roses and rainbows as Walt still poses to be a very dangerous threat to not only Clare and Tessa, but to those around them too.

Get ready to be taken on an action packed thrill ride with an added healthy dose of steam that makes this one hell of a knockout read!! I would dare to even say that this is by far my favorite series by Aly Martinez!

LIVE – THE AUCTION (Magnolia Grove Book 1) by J.B. McGee

September 29, 2016September 29, 2016Leave a comment

The Auction

“I don’t need to know about your package. I am pretty sure I have you figured out better than you have me defined.”

After an unexpected turn of events, Cammie Spencer starts to wonder if there is more to life than being high society arm candy and whether her fiancé, Oliver, is the man for her. There’s no denying Holden has always made her hot, but over the years, he’s become the most tempting form of forbidden love.

For Holden Masters, there are some things money can’t buy, but that isn’t the case at the annual Magnolia Grove Cancer Charity Auction. The only woman Holden Masters has ever wanted is up for bids in a ‘secret date’ auction. It’s not the first time he’s yearned for Cammie. He’s wanted her for as long as he can remember, but family drama, façades, and social rank have gotten in the way.

The biggest obstacle now is determining whether Holden knows her well enough to prove that he’s more than the cocky bad boy she’s always known.

Does Holden know enough about Cammie to win her date and her heart in The Auction?

The Date – Coming October 29, 2016

Two families. Two hearts. One forbidden love. One Date.

Timing is a funny thing. It can make or break any situation. Any relationship. The only thing worse than timing is miscommunication, especially when one person thinks the other isn’t interested.

When Cammie Spencer is left to sort out the mess that’s becoming her life, she reflects on what she thinks she knows versus what is reality. Has her perception of what’s expected of her high society life kept her from the one person she’s always wanted but resigned herself to never having?

After all, her fiancé is definitely not what she thought he was. And to make matters worse, or maybe better, Holden Masters has always been the most tempting form of forbidden love. She’s discovering he also may very well be the best medicine for her broken heart.

For Holden Masters, his haunted past collides with the present. His plans, which seemed so clear, become muddied. Will he finally drop his façade and back up his words of affection with actions or is he the player Cammie’s long pegged him to be?

Now that the auction is over, could it be that Holden Masters has already won the prize before he’s even had The Date?

EXCERPT REVEAL – FOUR LETTER WORD by J. Daniels

September 28, 2016September 28, 2016Leave a comment

Excerpt

I showered and shaved, slathered on my favorite sweet-smelling body lotion, slid into the dress after deciding on a thong and no bra, thanks to the mesh, and curled and teased my hair, giving it body and height that looked kick-ass paired with my outfit.

I also went to town on my makeup job, keeping everything heavy but the kind of heavy that screamed fierce concertgoer and not back alley hooker.

Dark, smoky eyes, false lashes that flared at the ends, and warm cerise lipstick.

I felt pretty. Really pretty.

The kind of pretty a girl had to commemorate with a selfie, and there was only one person in the entire world I wanted to send that selfie to.

I bit my lip while swiping my phone off the bed and pulling up the camera mode.

I was nervous.

Understandably so. This would be the first time Brian was going to see me.

Like ever.

Heavy stuff right there.

I’d thought about sending him pictures before, but got sidetracked with conversation and his sweet as warmed honey voice I wanted to taste, and all thoughts of pictures would slip my mind. Considering he never asked to see a photo of me didn’t help either.

Since he wasn’t bringing it up, I was hardly thinking about it.

But right now, standing in my bedroom with my makeup done up and my hair looking prettier than it had on prom night, sending Brian a picture of me was suddenly all I could think about.

And before I could think or whisper talk myself out of it, I reversed the camera so I could see myself on the screen, held the device out in front of me and off to the right a bit, pursed my stained lips into a kiss, other hand poised at my chin to blow it, and snapped the picture.

Then I attached it to a text and hit Send.

Feeling WILD.

I wanted to put my phone down. Really I did, especially since I had to snap on my studded cuff bracelet and that required use of both hands, furthermore because Tori had given me a fifteen-minute warning close to fifteen minutes ago, but I couldn’t let the damn thing go.

I couldn’t stop looking at it either.

My stomach was clenched. I was biting my fist and pacing the length of the bed, head down and eyes anxiously focused.

But when the little bubbles floated in teasing intervals on my screen and I knew Brian had seen my photo, that’s when the real panic set in.

Would he like how I looked? Would it be how he had imagined and confessed to imagining countless times late at night to me, or better, would my photo exceed the limits of his imagination and paint a more pleasing image in his mind?

Or would he hate it and me for sending it to him, shattering his dreamed-up spank-bank material and ruining every orgasm I ever gave him?

Shit.

Shit!

Which was it and why the hell was he taking so long to type? Didn’t he know this was killing me?

“Hurry up!” I whispered against the screen.

It started ringing in response to my plea, startling me and nearly slipping out of my hand.

Oh, God, he was calling.

Fate. Hate. Love. Lies.

Which four letter word will change their lives forever?

Blurb

Sydney Paige was never so mortified to hear the words “wrong number” in her life. She meant to tell off the guy who broke her best friend’s heart, but unleashed her anger on a perfect stranger instead.

Brian Savage is living a life he’s quickly come to hate-until Sydney’s wild rant has him hooked and hungry for more. Soon the sexy woman on the phone becomes the lover in his bed. But Brian has secrets, and the closer he lets Syd get, the harder it is to shield her from the devastating mistakes of his past . . .
