Play Me – Book 1
“Just one kiss, Cadence. And I’ll agree to everything.” I whisper against her ear.
I can see a twitch in her jaw, and it’s driving me crazy not to drag my lips along it.
“Sebastian,” she chokes softly on my name.
And I don’t give her a chance to continue.


She once said that the only thing that mattered to me was the band.
She was right. Was.

Find out in this hot and steamy Rock star romance

Strum Me – Book Two
“We’re going to have to do something about that dirty mouth of yours,” I mutter as I nibble on the sweet skin of her neck.
“I have something in mind.”
She grins and slides down my body, her hand already working its way around my hardness.
Dirty mouth or not, it certainly knows what it’s doing.


Book 2 in the Rock Chamber Boys series, STRUM ME is a hot, fiery and sexy second chance romance tale that will melt your heart and make you believe in meant to be.

==
Serenade Me – Book 3
"I came to tell you that you make me believe that the universe has plans for us all,
and that everything leading up to this moment was to make sure that right now,
right at this very second, I would be standing here. And you sitting there.
And for us to be finally meeting, face to face.
And for me to tell you, that my life starts now.”


Serenade me is the explosive, sexy, roller coaster, enemies to lovers, third book in the Rock Chamber Boys series, starring Marius, their viola player. It has a to-die-for happy ending and no cliffhanger.

My review:
I read Play Me the first book in the series and loved it so much I had to read about the rest of the boys in the band. This isn’t your regular rock and roll romance. These boys play a different kind of music and lead a different kind of life and while each guy finds his love in an almost predictable way I loved taking the journey with them. I’ll be re-reading this and looking to see what else this author has written. A fun escape.

Submitting to Paradise (Suspenseful Seduction World) by Julie Morgan




Blurb:
They say with time comes understanding, and with understanding comes forgiveness.

Young Todd Wheeler bounced from one foster home to the next, each worse than the last, until he ended up living on the streets of Tampa. Hooked on drugs, he was on a downward spiral until the fateful night a stranger showed him an act of kindness that turned his life around. Even though he’s now clean and working for a living instead of stealing for it, he doesn’t think he’s worthy of love or forgiveness.

New to Tampa, preacher’s daughter, Holly Leighton, looks forward to a fresh start, helping her father get his new church up and running. However, that plan did not include meeting Todd.

There’s a darkness inside Holly she longs to explore, not quite nefarious, but a dominance she desires. When Todd introduces her to Mistress China, Holly’s world shifts on a different axis, bringing her into a lifestyle she’d only ever read about.

When the softness of silk and the thickness of leather come together, an explosion of wills will be tested. Dominance will rise, but who will claim the top position?

**Submitting to Paradise is part of Samantha A. Cole's Suspenseful Seduction World.

My review:
Submitting to Paradise is a story of taking back control and seeking redemption. Holly is a young survivor of a violent stalker and the daughter of a preacher. She needs to find a way to take some kind of control. Todd is a recovering substance abuse survivor he’s now clean but he doesn’t think he’s worthy of love or forgiveness. These two find something in the other that heals them. They discover new things about themselves and their journey is worth reading.
Though this is part of Samantha A. Cole's Suspenseful Seduction World it can be read standalone.

Succubus Chained (Paranormal Prison by Heather Long




Blurb:
I bet you’re asking yourself why am I here? What happened that landed me in this cell? Trust me, you aren’t the only one.

Who am I?

You’d do better to ask, what am I?

*Please note this is a paranormal prison reverse harem and will feature aggressively snarky characters, a bit of twisted humor and a lot of passion. So come join an amazing group of authors in Nightmare Penitentiary, a place you’ll never want to escape from. The author suggests you should always read the forward in her books. This is the first in a trilogy.

My review:
Succubus Chained is the first in a smoking hot reverse harem trilogy. Vampire hybrids don’t exist or do they? This story tells the tale of a succubus named Fiona who is having trouble dealing with that fact that she was drained and fed blood by a vampire. She deals by snark, wit and building her dream home in her head. This book is steamy, funny and finished too fast. Bring on the next installment.

Dragon Consultant (Supernatural Consultant #1) by Mell Eight




Blurb:
Dane, a supernatural consultant, is hired by the FAA to look into a series of reported dragon attacks on their planes. What Dane finds in the wooded area where the attacks took place is not quite the problem he expected: a group of dragon kits and their sick father hiding from the authorities.

When he learns the real reason the family was in the woods, his case grows more dangerous, and though Dane is experienced at both crime solving and watching his own back, taking care of baby dragons and their ill father makes everything else look easy.

My review:
Dragon Consultant reads as a cozy paranormal mystery for teens and YA. Dane is a supernatural consultant who has been hired to find out why dragons have been attacking planes in an area where they shouldn’t be and in a cluster of types that don’t normally hang out together. This is a sweet and sometimes sad story that left me wanting more.

Sing for Me by Maggie Clare




Blurb:
Jake Evans isn’t looking for love when he walks into a dive bar while on leave, just a beer and a no-strings hookup. Fiona Flynn isn’t even looking for a date. She's got a musical career to launch and a past heartache to overcome.

When Jake sees the stunning singer on stage, he knows he wants her – maybe for more than one night. Fiona can’t deny the chemistry between them, and she can’t ignore her growing feelings for the hot sailor with the easy smile.

Their sweet, sexy, long-distance love affair comes to a screeching halt when Jake is injured overseas. Wrecked body and soul, Jake can’t imagine a different kind of life, for himself or with Fiona. But when the unthinkable happens, and Fiona’s life hangs in the balance, Jake will have to rediscover his inner warrior in order to save her.

My review:
Sing for Me by Maggie Clare pairs two strong yet damaged individuals. Their story will take you from the first blush of attraction through hell and back. I couldn’t put it down. Jake and Fiona snared my attention from the first page through the last. I really enjoyed watching them grow and lean into each other. A wonderful story.

Russ Morgan, PI by Lloyd A. Meeker




Blurb:
Private Investigator Russ Morgan solves cases, using more than his wits.

Enigma
Who’s blackmailing the high-profile televangelist whose son was miraculously cured of his homosexuality many years ago? Threatening letters using old Enigma songs from the 90’s have got Reverend Howard Richardson spooked. Psychic Denver PI Russ Morgan uncovers obscene secrets shrouded in seeming righteousness, but must make peace with a sword of justice that cuts the innocent as well as the guilty.

Blood & Dirt
When Russ Morgan investigates a vandalized marijuana grow in Mesa County, he lands in the middle of a family feud that escalates into murder. Who is willing to go that far to get what they want? Russ’s personal life is escalating, too—he has to figure out if he’s brave enough to begin a relationship with Colin Stewart, who is half his age.

My review:
Russ Morgan, PI by Lloyd A. Meeker is two delightful tales starring the intrepid Russ Morgan, PI. Russ Morgan is a fifty something recovering alcoholic with a talent for solving puzzles.
Enigma – Has Russ tracking down a blackmailer who is threatening a fundamentalist preacher and his family. This story has all the feels and will leave you rooting for the villain.
Blood & Dirt – There is nothing uglier than family squabbles but when Russ gets thrown into the middle of a family feud he is sure to dig up dirt that will leave you gasping.
I’d never read anything by this author before but I hope there is more Russ Morgan, PI to come.

Wild Wolf Mate (League of Gallize Shifters #5) by Dianna Love




Blurb:
New York Times Bestseller Dianna Love's sexy new Gallize shifter series is unlike any others.

In this friends to lovers paranormal romance, Mad Red isn't just a nickname for Adrian's wolf, it's the truth. His teammates want to save him, but his wolf is deranged and Adrian lives a tortured existence for his part in losing his wolf when a rescue mission overseas went horribly wrong. Now, he just needs to stay alive long enough to answer the call for help from the family of a fallen soldier Adrian loved like a brother. But to bring the wolf shifter who killed the soldier's sibling to justice, Adrian will have to hunt down Jazlyn, a female wolf shifter who just saved his life, and put her in prison. Welcome to his hell on earth.

Even while on the run for her life, Jazlyn can't turn her back on anyone in pain if she can heal them, but her last decision proves no good deed goes unpunished. She's racing to find the one person who can prove her innocence then she can leave the southeast for good and return to her Kodiak bear shifter family without putting them at risk. They love her, but she's the only wolf shifter they'll accept, because they raised her. It's not like she has time to worry about mating ... not until her sexy mistake shows up and their energies hum with a powerful mating call. Giving into that desire could destroy everything, or it just might save them both.

My review:
We’ve watched in agony as Adrian and his wolf Mad Red have struggled to overcome his PTSD. He’s keeping it together enough to find a killer.  This is their heart wrenching story. Jazlyn has a story of her own but the warrior healer may be the one who can bring Adrian and Red back from the brink. This story is a terrific addition to this series. This is an emotional rollercoaster that will have you laughing one moment and crying the next. The author is a superb storyteller.

Justice For Angie by Cara Carnes




Blurb:
She’s never met a fight she couldn’t win…until now.

After brutally murdering someone in Angie Bierman’s dojo, the killer targets her first and then people she cares about to scare her off the investigation. Determined to prevent further tragedy, she does the one thing she can to keep them safe—run. Six months and ten cities later, she’s financially destitute, emotionally spent, and desperate for help in the relentless fight for her life. One close call too many brings her into contact with an elite organization. Their offer to help is too good to be true. The ruggedly handsome operative promising to put himself between her and the psychopath hunting her may have no intension of mixing business with pleasure, but he’s a temptation she can’t resist.  


There’s no line he won’t cross…  


John “Twitch” Stanz spent years serving his country and returned home to help his friends run Counterstrike—an organization created to help individuals caught up in impossible situations. Despite all the lives he’s helped save before, the fearless, beautiful woman now in his charge is a danger he’s never faced. She’s tenacious, passionate, and everything he could ever want, but the beast chasing her won’t stop until she’s dead.

Twitch will use every resource at his disposal to keep Angie alive even if that means taking the bullet for her.

My review:
Justice For Angie features a kick butt heroine that I absolutely adored. Angie is strong, smart and like so many heroes a bit bull headed. She is on the run after digging into a client’s murder. The murderer wants her dead but like so many they’ve underestimated her ability to take care of herself. Eventually she recognizes she needs help and that’s where our hero enters. John “Twitch” Stanz is a gentle giant unless you are trying to hurt a woman or a child. Angie isn’t afraid of him and their close confinement allows them to get to know each other quickly. The killer is a surprise and an intriguing twist. I loved this book. It is part of a series but can be read standalone.

Black Hollow: A Cupid's Burden by J.C. Layne




Blurb:
Adrian Lovejoy is a cupid who has lost his faith in love. He has been jaded by broken unions and the flippant attitude people seem to have about love. People don’t deserve love, they’re too stupid to hold on to it. So, Adrian is done; done with love and done being a cupid. Hoping to anger the Cupid Council enough to have them strip his powers, Adrian has been on a quest to screw up any and all unions he can.

The Cupid Council doesn’t want to lose this promising young cupid. In their desperation, they enlist the services of Dr. Mara Washington to help Adrian get back on track. Mara is a relatively new psychiatrist in Black Hollow and is also a human. When she agrees to counsel this wayward cupid, she never would’ve dreamed that someone could get under her skin like Adrian Lovejoy.

Will Mara Washington be able to pull Adrian out of his funk or will Adrian get his wish to be stripped of his powers? One thing is for sure; neither of them expect what they find.

My review:
What do you do when you’re a cupid who has lost his faith in love? Adrian Lovejoy is depressed and exhibiting self-destructive behavior, His family and the cupid council force him into counseling. Dr. Mara Washington is a human and a new resident in Black Hollow. She is asked to help Adrian find belief in love again. This is their tale. I hurt for Adrian as he was spiraling out of control. I loved Mara’s amazement and acceptance of the paranormal residents of Black Hallow. This is a feel good story that will raise your spirits and leave you with a smile.

Shift Out of Luck (Brimstone Inc. #2) by Abigail Owen




Blurb:
The Montagues and Capulets have nothing on the Canis and Banes wolf packs. The two have been feuding for ages. The brutal murder of the Banes’ alpha only added fuel to the fire. And now there’s only one way to bring peace—the current alphas of each pack, Marrok and Tala, need a mating of convenience.

Tala has her doubts. A thousand of them.

Never mind that Marrok drives her body to levels of desire her vibrator has trouble keeping up with. If she can’t get her inner wolf—or her people—on board, forget peace, because she'll lose the tenuous control she has over the Canis pack. Her new mate is just so damn alpha. He’d better learn to play nice or Tala will have to show him who’s boss.

But Marrok has plans of his own, and nothing and no one, not even Tala herself, can resist an alpha...

This novella was previously self published as The Worse for Were but has undergone a complete re-edit. Scenes were added, things were changed, but the kissing still remains!

My review:
A marriage of convenience designed to bring two packs together. But can an old dog be taught new tricks? Tala is an alpha in her own right as is Marrok they are going to have to work together to make this peace and their mating work.  I LOVED Tala. She is a kick butt and take names kinda gal. This is an incredibly sweet tale and though it is part of a series it can be read standalone.

It turns out, the dancers are divas and the waitresses are angry, and managing a titty bar is nothing like managing the RTMC Motor Hotel back home.

Keys and Kisses (Untouchable #3) by Heather Long & Giveaway

a Rafflecopter giveaway



Blurb:
When the year started, I had one goal—make my AP classes count and keep my grades up. Both my focus and my grades started wobbling. Dating my best friends came with perks like hugs, kisses, and invitations to dances, but it also came with cons in the form of vindictive posts, hate mail, and vandalism of my car.
I asked if it could get any worse, and I guess I got my answer.
My college essays suck.
My mother and I are racing toward a collision.
My secret admirer might turn out to be a real friend.
My dance partner wants to walk away to preserve our friendship.
My best friend demanded I keep no more secrets.
My first offered to move in with me.
My second… he’s got my back.
They all do.
But what brought us together seems to be tearing us apart and I can’t jeopardize those friendships.
I won’t.
I thought losing them was the worst thing, but losing even one… it might be the change we can’t survive.
The real key here isn’t what do I want… it’s am I willing to fight for it?

P.S. I still need to get a damn dress.


*Please note this is a reverse harem and the author suggests you always read the forward in her books. This is the third in a series and the story will continue through future books.
 

My review:

Keys and Kisses is a story of more change in Frankie’s life. She’s dealing with her senior year in high school and all the angst that entails. She is dealing with Ian’s perceived defection and all the crap with her mother and Archie’s dad. Then there is the prom. All Frankie wants is to be normal for a change or as normal as a girl with three and a half boyfriends can be. This book will make you laugh, cry and scream out loud. Join Frankie and her guys as they ride this rollercoaster.

Better Red (Ever After, New York #1) by Tara Lain




Blurb:
Who’s afraid of the big, bad Wolfe?

Red Ridley knows he could have a happy life in Ever After, New York, waiting on tables at Mom and Pop’s, making numbers add up for clients, studying business at the junior college – and maybe, just maybe having the man of his dreams, Mark Woods, the young owner of the local garage. One problem. Red’s gorgeous. Amazing looking. Totally unique. And no one who sees him – especially his grandmother, who’s his biggest promoter -- believes he won’t end up on the cover of a magazine. Gran’s dreams come true when famous New York agency owner, Brock Wolfe, shows up in Ever After and sets his sights on Red.
Red doesn’t want to leave Mark, but Gran has given everything to raise him, and the money he could make would give her a happy, easy life. Then, the news gets worse – Gran could lose her house -- so Red breaks down and goes to New York where the Wolfe shows just how bad he can be. Faced with a fate worse than death, Red needs a hero or needs to be one. Is there any chance to live happily in Ever After?

My review:
Better Red is an imaginative take off inspired by the Little Red Riding Hood story. You can’t help but fall for Red and his woodsman. This is a tale of country vs city  and sticking to what you know is right. I loved the creative way the author spun this tale and I highly recommend.

When Axel barges into her home to warn her that she’s on a group witch hunters kill list, she doesn't believe him. Forget how sexy he looks or how much she'd like to see him naked, she doesn't need a savior.

He's intent on saving her by bringing her to the pack lands. Too bad she’s the most hardheaded, beautiful and frustrating woman he's ever met who happens to be his mate.
On Axel's beautiful pack lands, Cerise has to face her past and learn to communicate with Axel. That doesn't mean fall into bed after every argument. Sex is easy. Love, now that's another story. But when Cerise is taken, all bets are off. Will Cerise's determination to save herself actually get her killed?

My review:
This is a story of the past poisoning the future. In this fast paced tale we have Cerise an earth witch with trust issues. Axel is an alpha wolf shifter and an emergency room physician and a bunch of bigoted lunatics after Cerise and her family. Axel and Cerise are fire and ice. He knows she is his mate and she is determined not to let another man into her heart.  This is a sexy fun romp with serious undertones that will both entertain you and get you to thinking.

Dante's Circle Reborn (Dante's Circle #8) by Carrie Ann Ryan




Blurb:

NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan returns to her bestselling Dante’s Circle series with a collection of four never before published and highly anticipated romances.


FALLEN FOR ALPHAS

Liam and Alec watched their Pack fall from grace and fought with tooth and claw to make it rise from the ashes again for the Alpha. Once from rival families and now true packmates, they’ve fought their attraction for longer than they should have. Now, as they leave the den in search of a rogue wolf, they’ll finally have a chance to entice their wolves—if they can overcome their struggles and survive what lurks in the darkness.

AT LAST SIGHT

Jonah assumed he’d seen everything there was to see throughout his long life. He battled dragons, lions, and anything else that came across his path. Now, it’s his job to protect the cubs under his care—something far more dangerous than anyone ever counted on. But when he comes to face to face with Dante’s sexy new bartender, everything changes. From his first look into those silver eyes, he was lost. But they’re eyes that can kill if the world isn’t careful, and some want them for their own.

BLOOD’S FIRST KISS

Calypso’s position as a representative on the Conclave for all mermaids is in jeopardy if she can’t uncover the true lineage of a mysterious stranger. Especially since his mere presence seems to rock the already shaky foundation of their people.

Micha knows exactly what he is: the one supernatural being that everyone claims cannot exist. And he’s been searching eons for his mate. Now that he’s found her, all bets are off. But he must keep his past a secret, no matter the consequences.

REAPER’S SONG

He remembers his death. Even remembers parts of his life. But as a newly made reaper, he must do the one thing he knows he cannot: reap his soul mate. No matter that she can see death coming

My review:
This one is for the fans! Four fantastic novellas following up on some fan favorite secondary characters.

BLOOD’S FIRST KISS

REAPER’S SONG
