Blurb:
It was the biggest day of my life.
I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their
first child. My situation was a little different.
Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold.
Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell.
He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end.
I was his tool and his weapon.
And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.






Excerpt:
I was locked in the dark but it was more than an absence of light. It was the blackness of my own solitude, the quantum hole at the center of my soul that was slowly sucking away at everything that made me me.
I tried to write an encyclopedia of Cosima facts to cement my sense of self in the chaos of night that had become my life.
Cosima Ruth Lombardi.
Born August 2nd 1998 in Naploi, Italia to Caprice Maria Lombardi and Seamus Patrick Moore.
My favourite colour was wine red, captured in a glass and held over rich, warm candlelight.
I loved poppies best of all flowers because they reminded me of me in a way that was narcissistic but true. They were bold as blood, stark against the softer colours of the traditional Italian countryside. They demanded notice and received it. But their beauty was short-lived and fragile as the thin silk of their petals. They fell to bits within a week and scattered on the wind.
I felt very much like one of those black centered blooms, falling apart with every breath I took without even one witness to my dematerialization.
He wanted me like this.
Lost like decaying particles in a petri dish.
I didn’t have to hear his British accented voice clipping the words into neat little explanations to understand why.
He wanted me broken.
A beautiful, hollow shell to break open and f*ck into.

Book Review: Enthralled by Giana Darling

39781062

It was the biggest day of my life. 
I know most people say that about something joyous; a graduation, a wedding ceremony, the birth of their first child. My situation was a little different. 
Sure, it was my eighteenth birthday, but it was also the day that I was sold. 
Sold to a man with hair like a crown of gold and eyes blacker than the darkest pits of Hell. 
He bought me to own me, to control me, and to use me as a means to an end. 
I was his tool and his weapon.
And through it all, somehow, I also became his salvation.









Enthralled is a dark, dangerous and twisted romance. I am usually a fan of dark romances but this one was not for me. The author’s promise of answers right from the beginning kept me engaged. However, the plots twist and turns were far too convoluted. 

There’s violence throughout the story. It felt redundant and over-the-top at times. The story ends with a cliffhanger and another painful twist. 3 stars

Book Review: Viper by Brooke Blaine and Ella Frank

Scorching chemistry. Red-hot lyrics. An irresistible bad boy. 
Halo, the new lead singer for Fallen Angel, never stood a chance against Viper, the legendary lead guitarist for the band. 

From the moment Halo set foot in Viper’s lair, the match was lit, threatening to consume the two men with the heat of their desire. But when their casual flings begins to morph into more, will it leave the entire band in flames? 

After all, it may have been Halo who fell from grace, but it’s only a matter of time before Viper falls for an angel. 




Viper is the second book in the Fallen Angel trilogy and the continuation of Viper and Halo's developing relationship with a subplot of their band's transformation. I may have melted a few times while enjoying Viper. 

While recording their first album as a new band, Viper and Halo's relationship begins to intensify. Viper, our eternal playboy, avoider of relationships, can't seem to keep his emotions in check when he's with Halo. Viper had planned on keeping it a casual fling. He doesn't want a repeat of past failed relationships. Halo, our romantic, can't put aside his feelings. He has come into his own and is ready to take the next step. The question is can they find a middle ground?

I loved the last chapter! I swooned when Viper surprised me with his decree. Oh and the cover! It deserves it's own 5 Stars!  I can't wait for the final book. I'm not sure how the authors will be able to top off this sexy trilogy. 5 Stars

Book Review: Flawless by J.D. Hawkins


44170179

A sexy single billionaire businessman. A YouTube star. And the hottest night of their lives.

When I first saw him, I thought he was too hot for his own good and too cocky to resist. The perfect rebound from my break-up from hell. So I threw my usual rules out the door and challenged him to an anonymous hook-up. No names, no strings attached. 

It left me aching in more ways than one.

So imagine my surprise when I show up for the first day of my new job to find him leading the company's annual meeting. We lock eyes through the crowd of employees, all the intensity from our hook-up like a live wire between us. And then he embarrasses me on purpose. Dick.

I just need to keep this job and make it big. I won't let this arrogant hottie get to me or into my panties. But he is so powerful and sexy, that when he gets me in the elevator alone again, I know my plan is flawed.


Flawless is an office romance with a kick-ass heroine. She knows how to get the job done and pulls no punches. 

Zoe Skye wages on an anonymous hook-up to help her move past her ex. The anonymity doesn't last long when she discovers her rebound is also her new boss, CEO Liam Bartock. Their chemistry quickly fizzles when Liam takes aim at Zoe on her first day at work. 

It doesn't take long for the chemistry to bring them back together. They make for a perfect team.

Flawless is a little different than the author's previous books. There is equal emphasis on the relationship and the work project. Liam is in the process of creating a makeup and skincare-matching app. Zoe is the temporary director of marketing who is in charge of developing a marketing strategy for the app. Their relationship develops along with the development of the app. It's an interesting process. I enjoyed Zoe's no holds barred style. However, at times I felt like the relationship played second fiddle. 4 Stars

Blog Tour: SWEET FATE by Laurelin Paige

Sweet Fate (Dirty Sweet #2) by Laurelin Paige
Release Date: March 26, 2019
Genre: Contemporary Romance









Blurb:
Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.
But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.
He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.




Excerpt

Book Review: Sweet Fate by Laurelin Paige

42734204

The conclusion to Dylan and Audrey’s story begun in Sweet Liar.

Dylan Locke knows that pining over the young ingenue Audrey Lind is pointless. He can’t offer her what she wants. He definitely can’t give her what she needs. Thank goodness she’s half a world away, and he doesn’t have to deal with his attraction head on.

But fate has other plans for him, and when Audrey once again lands in his path, it’s only too easy to fall back into their easy rhythm. And then their easy banter. And of course, each other’s arms.

He tells himself nothing has changed. She still wants forever, and he still thinks tomorrow is long enough. But watching her search isn’t as easy as he thought it would be, and now Dylan must figure out if he’s really the love Scrooge he professes to be or if he’s been Fate’s willing victim all along.
Sweet Fate is the second book in the Dirty Sweet Duet. I really enjoyed the first book in this duet, Sweet Liar.  The chemistry between Dylan and Audrey was off the charts. Sweet Fate brings them back together with a little assistance from a friend. In this second book Dylan continues with his self-inflicted ban on commitment. I loved that the story was told in Dylan's POV, however Dylan's continual wallowing in self-pity put a small damper on the story. It lost it's momentum until the ending stirred up all the feels. 4 Stars


Release Blitz: SHATTERED WITH YOU by J. Kenner

SWY RB BANNER.jpg

Shattered With You, the first in the all-new Stark Security series of standalones, from New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner, is available now!

SWY_ebook_1707x2500.jpg

With his lethal skills and criminal connections, former British agent Quincy Radcliffe has fast become a key asset at the newly formed Stark Security. But Quincy isn’t the man he appears to be.



When the woman whose body he once worshipped and whose heart he broke pleads for his help, Quincy knows he must either turn his back on her or risk revealing his dark secrets to the one woman who can—and will—tear open his old wounds.



For years, struggling actress Eliza Tucker has tried to forget the decadent weeks she shared with Quincy Radcliffe. His smoldering good looks had drawn her in, while his British charm had enchanted her. But it was the wildness of his seduction and the ferocity of his passion that captured her. She’d given herself to him—and he’d shattered her like glass when he’d walked away.



Now, he’s the only person who can help find her missing sister. She’ll use him because she has too. She’ll pay any sensual price he demands. But she won’t fall for him again.

I wasn’t expecting to find you. The night was only supposed to be a celebration for my friend, but I couldn’t stop my heart, or body, from being drawn to you.

Nothin but Trouble_Final-high copy.jpg
Reagan Reynolds...
Water polo god.
Owner of a face that belongs under Wikipedia’s definition of drop dead gorgeous.
Too charming for his own good.
But most importantly––the worst driver on the planet.
No, really, I’m pretty sure his blind nana taught him how to drive.
I had no idea who he was until he almost ran me over. And frankly, I kind of wish I still didn’t because then I wouldn’t have a sprained ankle to show for it. And my leg wouldn’t resemble a boa constrictor that’s swallowed a feral pig.
Yeah, it’s that bad.
I’ve spent years saving every penny I’ve ever earned to be able to transfer to Malibu University. And now my entire future––including my scholarship––is in jeopardy.
So I either accept the help he insists on giving me, or lose everything I’ve sacrificed for.
In the meantime, I’m going to ignore the fact that we’re becoming friends.
And I’m definitely going to pretend he’s not turning into the object of my…umm, dirty fantasies.
That’s not happening.
Not even a little.
Because the minute I clapped eyes on him I knew he was nothing but trouble.

About P. Dangelico:
Dangelico loves romance in all forms, cuddly creatures (four legged and two), really bloody sexy pulp, the NY Jets (although she’s reconsidering after this season), and to while away the day at the barn (apparently she does her best thinking shoveling horse crap). What she’s not enamored with is referring to herself in the third person and social media so don’t expect her to get on Twitter anytime soon. Oh, and although she was born in Italy, she’s been Jersey Strong since she turned six.

Cover Reveal: WELL SUITED by Staci Hart

fb-coverreveal-banner.jpg

Well Suited, the final standalone in the Red Lipstick Coalition Series from Staci Hart, is coming May 2nd and we have the beautiful cover for you!

well-suited-illustrated-sm.jpg
Chemistry is my love language.
I’ve always been able to separate feelings from chemosignals. A shot of dopamine, a dash of serotonin, and a sprinkle of oxytocin—and bam. You’re in love.
And when egg meets sperm, you’re pregnant.
I couldn’t even be surprised as I stared down at the little blue plus sign, because I knew exactly when and how, and with whom it happened.
When: approximately five weeks ago.
Who: one night stand.
How: prophylactic malfunction.
The upside? I don’t have to go looking for a suitable mate.
Genetically, he’s the cream of the crop. His musculature is a study in symmetry and strength, his height imposing and dominant. He is a man who thrives on control and command, a man who survives on intelligence and resourcefulness. A perfect male specimen.
And the whole package is wrapped up in a flawlessly tailored suit.
I’m having this baby, and he insists we’re well-suited to have it together. And what’s worse? He wants more, in the way of love and marriage.
But love isn’t real. It’s just a product of chemistry.
And if he changes my mind about that, we’re both in trouble.

About the Author
Staci has been a lot of things up to this point in her life -- a graphic designer, an entrepreneur, a seamstress, a clothing and handbag designer, a waitress. Can't forget that. She's also been a mom, with three little girls who are sure to grow up to break a number of hearts. She's been a wife, though she's certainly not the cleanest, or the best cook. She's also super, duper fun at a party, especially if she's been drinking whiskey.



From roots in Houston to a seven year stint in Southern California, Staci and her family ended up settling somewhere in between and equally north, in Denver. They are new enough that snow is still magical. When she's not writing, she's reading, sleeping, gaming, or designing graphics.
