REVIEW & EXCERPT TOUR – SWEET TIME (Sugar Rush #4) by Nina Lane

October 12, 2017October 12, 2017Leave a comment

Stuck in a boring insurance job, vivacious Mia Donovan has spent the last few years searching for her life’s true path. She fills her time helping plan the wedding of her best friend to the CEO of the Sugar Rush Candy Company.

Mia has also been trying to attract the impossibly rigid Sugar Rush security chief Gavin Knight. But for well over a year, the unyielding Mr. Knight has ignored her, despite her short skirts, tight sweaters, and patently obvious flirting. And when he finally approaches her, it’s only to assess the wedding plans for potential security risks.

A former soldier, Gavin has intercepted hostile anonymous letters threatening the high-profile wedding. Determined to keep everyone safe, he’s forced to work with the maddeningly sexy Miss Donovan of the thousand-watt charm and irresistible body.

Irked by Gavin’s many months of disregard, Mia takes her teasing flirtations to a whole new level. But her coquettish ways are no match for the edgy, lust-fueled dominant he conceals behind his impassive exterior. And when Gavin exerts his full control, Mia discovers he can protect everything except her heart.

WRAPPED UP IN READING’s REVIEW OF SWEET TIME

A smile curved her mouth. She stretched one leg over him and straddled his waist. With her nipples poking out of her bra, her skin flushed and her hair a waterfall of gold, he could have stared at her for hours if he weren’t about to implode with lust. He pinched her rosy nipples and twisted the strap of her bra.

“Take this off,” he ordered. “I want you naked.”

She shed her bra, revealing her perfect round breasts. She braced her hands on the mattress and leaned in to kiss him deeply, her tongue tracing the line of his lips. He slid his hands down to grasp her ass, working one finger between her cheeks. She inhaled sharply, but didn’t protest, arching her back like she wanted more.

He’d give her more. And despite her willingness, it might be more than she could handle. More than she could take.

“Wait,” she whispered, wiggling back so she was straddling his thighs. “Where are the condoms?”

“Drawer in the nightstand.”

She reached over to retrieve one and took her sweet time sheathing his dick. By the time she was done, his teeth were clenched from the light, tickling touch of her fingers.

He grasped her hips. “Ride me.”

Mia bit her lip, a flush rising to her cheekbones. For a second he thought she’d decline, but she lifted herself up, her hand circling the base of his cock as she positioned herself.

Then she sank onto him, and the world exploded into the hot, tight clench of her pussy, the sound of her low groan, the clench of her knees around his hips. A flash of pain crossed her face before it was replaced with heavy lust. Heat sizzled through the air. She curled her fingers into his chest and started to move.

“Oh my God.” Her breath grew fast, her astonished gaze still holding his. “I feel you so deep, all the way up here.”

She pressed one hand to her belly and shifted again, working her gorgeous body up and down on his cock. He dug his fingers into her hips. His jaw clenched to the point of pain. He fought the urge to thrust, to drive them both to the edge. She was a fucking goddess, her tits bouncing, her body flexing and writhing, sweat glistening on her skin.

“Faster.” He bit out the order, his blood on fire.

She leaned forward, her hair falling in curtains on either side of her face, her little panting breaths puffing against his neck. Her eyes darkened with hunger and urgency.

“I need it, Gavin,” she whispered, her teeth capturing her lower lip again. “I need to come with you inside me, hard and deep and… oh God…”

“That’s right.” He grabbed her waist and thrust upward, needing to be inside her as far as he could. “Get yourself off… Christ, you’re incredible, all soft tight heat… you’re going to jerk me off, cover your little pussy with my come…”

A shudder rocked through her. She braced her hands on his chest and moved faster. Breathy cries came from her parted lips.

“I want you to do it first,” she gasped, sliding up and down his cock like a well-oiled piston. “Mark me.”

She moved off him before he could stop her, her chest heaving as she slid back to sit on his thighs. She rolled the condom off his erection and stroked, her tapered fingers moving up and down his aching shaft, her thumb caressing the swollen crown.

“Do it, Gavin.” Her voice was husky and threaded with anticipation. “Come on my pussy. Give me everything you have.”

“Ah, shit.” Every part of him tensed. Fiery pressure built. He gripped her smooth thighs and thrust into her fist. “So goddamned close… harder… now… .fuck.”

Heat exploded through him, jets of come splashing over her belly. She gasped, her fist still working his dick until the sensations ebbed. He groaned, sinking against the pillows.

“That’s so fucking sexy,” she whispered, releasing him only to slide her fingers through the mess coating her skin. “I love how you feel on me.”

“Get yourself off for me.” He stroked his hands up and down her smooth, damp thighs. “I want to watch you.”

Shivering, she slipped one hand between her legs and brought the other to her breasts. She twisted her pink nipple and worked her fingers on her clit. Much as he wanted to delve his fingers into her slippery heat again, he restrained himself from reaching for her.

He couldn’t take his eyes off the sight of her touching herself, her body sleek and soft. She threw her head back, her hair spilling over her shoulders. Moaning, she moved her fingers more frantically, her body tensing with need.

“Gavin,” she gasped. “I feel it… I still feel you… oh God, I’m going to… ah!”

A high, keening cry broke from her throat as her body shook, her hand still rubbing her clit. Fucking gorgeous sight, spearing him with fresh lust.

“Oh fuck.” She groaned, collapsing on top of him in a hot, sweet bundle of softness. “That was amazing. My ass is still sore from your hand, and I swear that made me come even harder.”

He gave a short laugh. Yeah, he’d lost the battle all right. He was about to lose the whole fucking war. And never before had he wanted to surrender.

WRAPPED UP IN READING’s REVIEW OF DIRTY LITTLE PROMISE

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan…

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide.

The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess.

How am I expected to resist when the sexual sparks zap between us and set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

”I’ve been falling in love with you for over a year. And the moment you finally kissed me is when I fell in love with my whole heart.”

The Sugar Rush series is going down as one of my top favorites of all time. It just keeps getting better with each installment. Not one book has been anything less than AMAZING!!! Not only have I fallen for each and every Hero, but I also found every Heroine to be so endearing. This is a series filled with amazing characters, off the charts sizzling steam, and romances that we all wish for. SWEET TIME was as fabulous as all its predecessors and even though it’s a novella, Nina Lane was able to give us an absolutely entertaining and satisfying story that very much felt like a full-length novel. Ladies, it’s time to fall in love with the stoic but supreme alpha security specialist, Gavin Knight.

We have met Polly’s bestie, Mia Donovan, and Luke’s friend and head of security, Gavin Knight in Sweet Dreams. From that moment, the chemistry between the bubbly and delightful Mia, and the strong, sexy and off the charts alpha Gavin, was undeniably strong. I knew their story was going to be just as steamy and fun as all of the other books in the series. Nina Lane did not let me down!!!

Mia and Gavin have been on each other’s radar for well over a year now but nothing has ever come of it. Mia has several failed flirtatious attempts with Gavin and she has come to accept that it might just never happen with him, but that doesn’t seem to have killed the incredible crush she has for him. What Mia doesn’t know is that Gavin has been aware of her from the moment he first set his eyes on her. She’s been the star of all of his dirty fantasies over the past year. What he wouldn’t give to just haul her over his shoulder and throw her down on his bed, and do all the dirty things he’s dreamed of with her. But Gavin has put her in the ”hands-off” zone because she is Polly’s best-friend and since Polly is soon becoming a Stone, she will be like family to him.

Gavin is also haunted by his past. He served seven tours in Afghanistan while he was in the Marine Corp., and he suffers from a severe case of PTSD. It’s made it impossible for him to sustain long-term relationships. He even closes himself off from social interactions with his childhood friends, which includes the Stone family.

When Luke and Polly’s upcoming wedding forces Gavin and Mia to work together, since he’s in charge of security during the event and Mia is acting as the wedding planner as a favor to her friend—let’s just say a year’s worth of pent-up attraction and lust will come crashing through. Will Mia’s light and whimsical nature be the healing touch that Gavin so desperately needs? Or will their differences end up being what keeps them apart?

Here are my overall ratings on the book:

Hero: 5
Heroine: 5
Plot: 5
Angst: 3.5
Steam: 5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

This book had it all—great characters, entertaining plot, suspense, and deliciously naughty steam!! I HIGHLY recommend this one!!

*****Mel’s Review*****
4.5 Stars!

Mia Donovan is a gorgeous, feisty, confident woman from a coastal California town called Indigo Bay. She works a job she hates at an insurance agency, but occasionally also helps out her best friend Polly at her bakery called Wild Child. Mia is the type of woman that goes after what she wants, & what she’s wanted for the past year is a man named Gavin Knight. Gavin is the head of security at her friend Polly’s bakery. He was sexy as hell, & she loved his strength. As much as she relentlessly, shamelessly flirted with him, he seemed completely immune to her charm. She finally begins to give up her pursuit, & that’s when Gavin finally makes his move.

Gavin Knight is serious, brooding, & all about his job and keeping people safe. He noticed the lovely Mia Donovan with her blonde hair, tight sweaters, & little skirts a long time ago. He just wasn’t ever willing to cross that line. Now that they are working together on Luke & Polly’s wedding, they are seeing more of each other. It’s becoming harder for him to pretend he doesn’t desperately want her, & she’s testing his self-control. He hadn’t wanted to admit to himself that he always looked forward to seeing her. She’s had his attention all along. He’d grown rather fond of her but didn’t act on anything because he didn’t want complications. He didn’t feel he was relationship material.

Gavin & Mia are so different. He’s all serious & about strict control, and she’s all fun, flirty, and easy going, but when these two opposites connect it’s magical. Mia can’t believe she’s finally with the delicious man that’s starred in all her fantasies. She thought he barely knew she existed. For so long she wished something would happen between them, & now she’s in pure bliss at the thought of him touching her again.

As Gavin & Mia become more involved, Gavin worries he can’t be everything Mia deserves. He has troubles from his past he still deals with, & struggles with his feelings for Mia. She’s suddenly become everything good in his life, & he can see their future together.

I adored Gavin Knight & love this series so much! Each book is just as fabulous as the last. Can’t get enough of this series & look forward to more of the Stone brothers & Papa Stone too! ;))

-As much as she’d been after him, she hadn’t known, not really, if she could handle the dominance and rigidity that were such an intrinsic part of him.

-“Come on, my little flirt,” he whispered roughly. “You think I haven’t noticed you all these months?

-After all those months of trying to get his attention, she now had his attention right to the center of her soul.

-Gavin Knight was a man who knew how to take what he wanted. And take her he did.

-She couldn’t believe this was happening, that after all this time, Gavin Knight was holding her and touching her like this.

-Everything inside her came alive.

SYNOPSIS

The secret I’d discovered about sexy billionaire Gavin Kingsley was so big, so haunting wasn’t something I could overcome. I had a decision to make—hear him out and see where things went, or turn to his brother Cooper, who I was fairly certain was in love with me. But something dark inside of Gavin called to something dark inside of me. And I wasn’t willing to just walk away—not yet anyway.

This is the conclusion to Emma Bell’s epic love affair with the alpha and enigmatic Kingsley brothers. Secrets will be exposed, sides will be chosen, and nothing will ever be the same.

*****Patty’s Review*****

*****FOUR STARS*****
{ARC Generously Provided by Author}

My heart was so full, so full of her, of her love, I felt like anything was possible. She made me strong and brave and whole. And I knew with certainty I’d love her until my dying breath.

In the conclusion to the first story in the Forbidden Desires series, questions are answered and it seems there is no end to a number of enemies that are out to destroy the Kingsley empire. Some of the drama manages to impact Emma as well. When Dirty Little Secret ended, Emma was stunned when she learned some of what transpired between Gavin and his deceased ex-girlfriend Ashley. The biggest shocker was when Emma found a picture of Ashley through a google search. Her resemblance to Gavin’s ex was undeniably disturbing.

Reeling from her discovery, Emma avoids Gavin for almost a week until he can no longer stand the silence and is able to convince her to go on a business trip with him to Florida. She agrees to go because he promises to answer all of her questions about Ashley. Their relationship is strained by the demons of Gavin’s past. While he is able to clear up many of her concerns, Emma is still cautious as she has not had much luck in the relationship department. Her last boyfriend was verbally and physically abusive and with Gavin’s dominant personality and his need for rough sex, Emma is questioning whether she is about to fall in the same relationship trap.

Emma can’t deny that the chemistry between her and Gavin is like nothing she has ever felt before but there’s also Cooper Kingsley to think about. Gavin’s younger brother has become to mean a lot to Emma and he’s made no secret about his feelings for her. So Emma is torn between two equally handsome and charming Kingsley men.

She will have to make a choice between the two brothers and when that happens will the Kingsley brothers’ relationship be strong enough to survive?

There’s a ton of decadent steam to keep readers satisfied during the chilly autumn nights in this one ladies!!

Here are my overall ratings on the book:

Hero: 4
Heroine: 4
Plot: 3.5
Angst: 3.5
Steam: 5
Chemistry Between Hero & Heroine: 5

DIRTY LITTLE PROMISE releases on October 9th! Make sure you check this series out! The next book promises to be just as naughty and entertaining!!
