Restore Me

Navigating the world alone is all Josephine Geroux has ever known. Life altering tragedy struck early on for her. She endured an admirable struggle through her youth and learned the hard way how to adapt and survive. She managed to arrive at adulthood in one piece in spite of it all. 

After such chaos, maintaining a life free of complications is a priority for her. 

Everything changed when a man with amber eyes came through her door and claimed her heart. She fell hard in more ways than one. The pull between Jo and Damon seemed like fate bringing things full circle.

With another devastating loss looming, Jo fights to hold on to the very thing that brought her to her knees. She finds herself torn between a promising future and clinging to a devastating past.

But that’s not the most worrisome problem on her hands. 

She must convince more than just herself to let the past stay in the past, where it belongs, but on her journey to find closure and resolution, she does the exact opposite. An old wound caused by a heinous act becomes exposed for what it is. The truth is catastrophic and Jo is helpless, watching as the ruins of her fragile world endure more turmoil. 

Can something conceived from tragedy and malice end well? Can something so completely poisoned conquer adversity? Jo is left to make a decision; accept the circumstances she finds herself in or fight with unwavering ferocity to restore what has been damaged.

**************

I couldn't stand the anticipation on finding out what happened to Damon. I think I was going to burst out in tears as I started reading- I didn't want to go where I thought J.L. Mac was taking me.

Luckily it was what I thought but it still wasn't very good. My heart was breaking for Jo and I was walking away from everything in my head for her but she is one bad ass chick who wasn't going to give up! Holy crap it's bombshell after bombshell in this book. Lots of hot steamy sex. Fabulous ending, cliff hanger again but not like the one that was left in "Wreck Me"- I will survive until the next book this time lol. 

The Proposition

With her thirtieth birthday looming, Emma Harrison finds her biological clock clanging and the elusive knight in shining armor yet to appear. She’s running out of options, especially after her gay best friend backs out from being her sperm donor. Of course, there’s always a sperm bank, but Emma fears a donor mix-up might impregnate her with the spawn of Satan.

Resident company womanizer, Aidan Fitzgerald, is used to always getting what he wants, especially in the bedroom. When Emma spurns his advances at the company Christmas party, he's determined to have her no matter what it takes. After Aidan learns of Emma's predicament, he is quick to offer a proposition that will benefit them both. He will father Emma's child, but she must conceive it with him naturally. Not one for hook-ups or casual sex, Emma is reluctant to take him up on his offer, but his charm, coupled with her intense desire for motherhood, wins out.

Soon their baby-making sessions become more than just physical. Aidan can't seem to walk away from her while Emma begins to wonder if Aidan could be the one. But can Aidan leave his past behind to become the man Emma needs him to be?

***************

It didn't take to far into the book for things to start progressing- I was worried when I started to read Emma's beliefs that it was going 

to take half the book for Aidan to get her in bed.

I could see where the story was going- Aidan needed to loose Emma in order to see what he had and how he felt about her. I didn't think it would happen the way it did but I guess I should have seen that coming to- I was sick to my stomach when it unfolded and hoped it would straighten itself out but then the book ended! Arghhhhh..........

Now I have to wait until March 15, 2013 for The Proposal.

Hot sex scenes. Nothing to detailed or raunchy.

*** The Proposal Release date has been moved up to Jan 5, 2013!
Yeah!!!

Quotes:

"Fine, pencil me in. I'll be ready and erect whenever you need me."

"Good, let him be at half-mast the entire time and wanting to eat you for desert."

"You barely drank half of your margarita last week. Now you're downing them like a lush fresh out of rehab."

" "Gunkle?" Emm questioned.

"You know, 'gay uncle.' " "

The Prince of Asteria

UN translator Lucy Snow sneaks into an embassy party... and meets Prince Jagor, heir to the throne of Asteria. He's mysterious, charming and supremely powerful, and soon their encounter is spinning out of control in one of the embassy bedrooms. Lucy knows her life has changed forever, but their initial tryst isn't enough for the prince: he offers her a job as his personal aide. Dare she accept a position with a man who knows exactly how to dominate her: a man she must address as 'Your Highness'?

***********

Short Story 63 pages.

This is a hot book!

I was kind of on edge about how the Prince treated Lucy but she didn't seem to mind so I was good with it (there I go acting like they are real!). I also had to remember that Prince Jagor was not an american but rather a man from a different world(not paranormal) where things are not done as I know. It's a whirl wind of events that leaves you craving more. A few hot steamy sex scenes.

Hot New Book Coming Soon!

Hot New Book Coming Soon!

I am so exctied for this book to come out! 

Not until Nov 27th but it will be good to sit down with it while eating leftovers.

If you have't read The Unidentified Redhead & The Redhead Revealed

then you are so missing out! These books are not only Hot but Hilarious as well.

Go read them while we are waiting for Wallbanger to release.

Here's an expert from Alice Clayton's website about Wallbanger.

*********

Caroline Reynolds has a fantastic new apartment in San Francisco, a KitchenAid mixer, and no O (and we’re not talking Oprah here, folks). She has a flourishing design career, an office overlooking the bay, a killer zucchini bread recipe, and no O. She has Clive (the best cat ever), great friends, a great rack, and no O.

Adding insult to O-less, since her move, she has an oversexed neighbor with the loudest late-night wallbanging she’s ever heard. Each moan, spank, and–was that a meow?–punctuates the fact that not only is she losing sleep, she still has, yep, you guessed it, no O.

Enter Simon Parker. (No, really, Simon, please enter.) When the wallbanging threatens to literally bounce her out of bed, Caroline, clad in sexual frustration and a pink baby-doll nightie, confronts her heard-but-never-seen neighbor. Their late-night hallway encounter has, well, mixed results. Ahem. With walls this thin, the tension’s gonna be thick…

In her third novel, Alice Clayton returns to dish her trademark mix of silly and steamy. Banter, barbs, and strutting pussycats, plus the sexiest apple pie ever made, are dunked in a hot tub and set against the gorgeous San Francisco skyline in this hot and hilarious tale of exasperation at first sight.

Book Sale!

I have not read this book yet it's on my "Wish List" however I noticed it's on sale for .99 down from $2.99 so I had to purchase it!

So hurry over to get it -sale ends Nov. 14th!

Welcome back to Purgatory! A club for every fetish...

Being a fire inspector is the perfect job for a girl with a fire fetish. Ruby has come to terms with her obsession, and thanks to her part-time job as a bartender at Purgatory, she can dabble in a scene she isn't sure she belongs in without going too far or too deep. But there's one Dom in town who makes her burn for things she wishes she didn't.

Zane made sure he was on the performance roster at Purgatory for charity night because Ruby would be on duty. He's respected her wishes to stay away as long as he could, but tonight while his fire burns bright he'll take possession of the willful beauty who has captured his heart.

If you enjoy your romance with BDSM, be sure to try Eliza's Pleasure Playground series that starts with Midnight Playground and Power Play.

Leave Me Breathless

Leather and lace don’t strike sparks. Or do they?

It’s Valentine’s Day, but Macy Rodgers isn’t feeling the love. Aside from a torrid, one-night fling in a backseat a few months back, her love life has been sorely lacking, but fortunately she has devious friends who feel like playing Cupid. Wouldn’t they be shocked to learn that the match they’ve made for her is the same one that steamed up the back of that ’69 GTO…

Seth “Ghost” Warren has just returned to town after an extended absence. Between his grandmother’s failing health, his job as a tattoo artist, his band’s gigs, and a crazy ex who won’t leave him alone, he’s stretched thin. 

Cautious cowgirl Macy is the last thing he needs thrown into the mix.

She’s all country, he’s all heavy metal—and Macy knows that if anyone can propel her out of her rut, it’s Seth. But when their worlds collide, it’s anyone’s guess if they’ll 

survive with their hearts intact.

I read "Rock Me" so long ago I didn't realize this was book based on characters from "Rock Me".

I suggest reading "Rock Me" first so you can get more of Brian and Candance's story.

Wow this is a Hot book!

Lots of Hot juicy sex scenes and a romance too boot!

I couldn't put this book down-it's fast paces and there is not one lull in story.

I loved how Macy came out of her shell - well you could tell she was a BA (bad ass) but she kept it under wraps- then she let's her BA out and it was Awesome!

I can't say enough good things about this book. 

Quotes:

"Big enough that I should tie a bow around it and attach a little card that say 'To:Macy, You're welcome. Love, Seth.' "

"Macy, queen of my universe, I beseechingly request you place your sweetest of lips upon my manhood and make it your lollipop"

"Whoever the guy was who taught her to suck cock. he wanted to buy him a beer and punch his fucking lights out."

Falling Stars

A falling, or shooting, star, is the common name for the visible path of a meteoroid if it survives impact with the Earth's surface.' Christopher Mason, the infamous lead singer of The Forgotten, has a reputation for being 'difficult'. Harboring dark memories and the burden of a painful secret, he struggles with a past he desperately wants to destroy. Amidst this star's battle with the pull of his demons, he risks losing everything he’s built as a musician. Enter Mia Ryder, the head strong yet laid back, lead singer of Hushed Mentality. As the opening act for The Forgotten, Mia and her all girl rock band are sure to gain the publicity needed to sky rocket to the next level in their dream career. Mia's laidback personality is challenged by Chris’s plotting for their demise and removal of the 'girlie band' from 'his' tour. But even Chris's best laid plans aren't prepared for Mia. As the demons pull this shining star down, is the one person he wants to eliminate the only person who can save him from the collision course he is on?

********************

I was hesitate on reading this book because there were 542 pages which is more than most of the books I read at most they are just over 400 pages. 

Now I know why there were so many pages and to be honest it was over kill. Christopher has some demons he is fighting but when he has his nightmares I think it's only necessary write the nightmare once not repeat the same thing every time he has it (and he has them every night! but it was repeated every night so don't get worried) after the first two times I read it  I found myself skimming over that part after that. Finally they stop mid way through the book thank goodness. I love books that go back and forth from each persons POV but not when the same situation is repeated from the others POV and not that the author did that every single time but it was done more than I would have liked. I also thought the story was dragging- things could have moved along a lot faster. Now I feel like I have been bashing this book but I truly did love the story line and even know it was dragging on I was still captivated enough to not want to put it down. There were also a lot of other things going on beside Mia and Christopher's drama- the other band members were getting together and the author bought you along for their ride as well without taking the focus off Mia and Christopher. The ending isn't perfect or the complete happily ever after but it's close. 

There is a short book #2 Stellar Evolution 

Quotes:

"Falling stars aren't always meant to be caught you know?"

"It hadn't taken doctors and therapist to put me back together again. It had only taken Mia to give me back meaning."

All In Soon to Release

Raine Miller's Naked is a book that made it on my Top 10. 

The ending was a hanger that left me craving for more-so much more! 

Well More is almost here yep that's right All In is due to release this Friday Nov. 9th. 

All In is from Ethan's POV and it twice as long as Naked. 

I read an interview with Raine Miller and she assures us that Brynne will get her say in the 3rd book Eyes Wide Open.  She hopes to release Eyes Wide Open by the end of the year.

* There are no pre orders on this book since Raine Miller is self published. 

Sheltered

Evie has lived her entire life under her abusive father’s thumb. He controls everything. Where she goes to college, who she sees, what she does. But when she meets Van—a punk who shows her how different life could be—she realizes how much she’s been missing.Van offers her excitement, protection, love…and most of all, sex—even if he’s at first reluctant to give her all the things she’s been craving. She wants to explore this new world of arousal and desire, but Van is only too aware of how fragile she is, how innocent…And how much is at stake, when their love is forbidden.

****************

This was a fairly quick read 162 pages.

It definitely kept you sucked it with Evies' lack of worldly knowledge and of course her lack of sexual experience. I was surprised by how much she actually did know as the book went on. The whole innocences of their first times together is very hot even know it doesn't go very far. I am was surprised that there wasn't more details about Evie's father and his abuse or that she didn't even get caught when she smoked pot (sorry a bit of a spoiler). There is an event that happens with her mother which too I am surprised is not elaborate on. When she finally gets out from under her fathers thumb she finds solace in Van but still insists on making her own way. The ending had fairly good closure.

Tangled Web

Katie Logan has had a secret crush on her best friend Johnny Church since high school, but he’s never looked at her the same way. So when Johnny—now a famous rock-and-roll guitarist—comes home to visit, Katie can’t bring herself to tell him she’s engaged to be married. She should have, though, because she soon discovers that maybe the attraction is mutual…

*************

Quick Read at 142 pages.

Now this book jumps around from past to present tense & I could myself not knowing which was which at times. It also seems to drag out just a bit. It's a hot mess this thing between Katie & Johnny. A few (ok 2) sex scenes not all that raunchy. Good ending.

The Bondage Virgin

Rebecca Venturas likes adventure. She scales mountains, jumps out of airplanes in search of an ungroomed ski run and loves pushing the envelope, in and and out of the bedroom. But bondage - that was something she was a virgin to. That is until she meets Will Cooper, the sophisticated and successful Wall Street guy who invites her to try.

Told through the eyes of both Rebecca and Will, The Bondage Virgin is the story of the night Will initiates Rebecca into the world of collars and cuffs, whips and chains, pain and pleasure, of domination and submission. What Rebecca thinks will be an isolated adventure turns out to be the beginning of something much bigger than she had ever imagined!

***********

This book goes from her thoughts in one chapter to his in the next. The author does not repeat the same scene from each view which I like. There is no dripping hot sex but there is a lot of build up. So much build up it's almost torture as I would believe Rebecca was feeling as well. When the act finally came it was not spoke of in the book. It has a ending that makes you want to find out where Rebecca & Will's relationship will go.

Book #2 is expected to be due out December 2012

Backstage Pass

It’s been months since Brian Sinclair, lead guitarist for the famous rock band, Sinners, composed anything.

When lust turns to love, will Brian be able to convince Myrna that what they have is more than just a fling, and that now that he’s found his heart’s muse, he doesn’t want to live without her?

**********

This is a smok'n hot book! 

Lots of hot sex plus a great story line. This is my first Olivia Cunning book & I can tell you I'll be reading more. Lots of twists in this one. The ending was good and left you thinking you totally wanted more but if you didn't get it you would be good with it. Then I looked to see what other books were the author had an Oh my there is a book #2 in the series Woo Hoo! There are going to be more books as well just not out yet.

Heat of Passion

Between her catering business, family issues, and her broken heart, Holly Lawson has too much on her plate to think about committing to a serious relationship.

Only to come face to face with him weeks later while working a wedding.

Worse, Carson is hell-bent on the one thing she doesn’t want. The R word. She has no intention of falling for him, but in the face of his seductive, mind-changing methods, her resistance is crumbling…

With that said I can't believe how this book really was so well written in 80 pages! nothing was left out or rushed & it didn't leave you hanging in the end!

Hot Romance! Hot Sex off the bat not utterly raunchy but steamy.

I'm excited to read more of Elle Kennedy books.

Playing to Win

Football star Cole Riley is notorious for doing as he pleases—on the field and off. He parties hard and fights harder, but if he doesn’t clean up his act, his career is over—so Cole reluctantly agrees to work with image makeover consultant Savannah Brooks. He’s not used to being told what to do, especially by some (admittedly hot) Southern belle. As for Savannah, she’s not convinced she can transform this cocky (and aggressively sexy) force of nature. But she’s determined to give it her best shot. 

When the sparks start to fly, Savannah lays down the ground rules: no personal complications. If she can turn off the tingle she feels every time Cole gives her a hot stare with his gorgeous baby blues, he can turn off his desire as well. But for two people determined to have it all, a hands-off policy can only last so long before one of them yields.

 Hot Steamy Sex doesn't start until almost mid way through & is sparse for a bit after that but when it happens it's all hot and yummy!

Jaci Burton's books never seem to disappoint. Hot sex guy that is a player finally finds the one to take him down. She however never wants to fall in love so this complicates  things as she realizes she's been blindsided by her feelings. I like that you get glimpses of the rest of the couples stories that you have already read in the previous books. With that I suggest reading them in order.

Table for Two

Two people from different worlds come together. Isabella Violi owns a very popular up and coming restaurant in New York City. Parker Davidson is a cocky rock star. Isabella is happy with her life and her friends, running her own restaurant that is becoming extremely popular in NYC. Parker is happy living the rock star lifestyle. Neither one wants to change, especially after meeting each other. But fate has other plans and both get more than they bargained for. When their worlds collide there are sparks galore.

************

This book is only 141 pages so it's great for an afternoon read.

Hot sex nothing explicit or dirty. There's kind of a twist off at the beginning which seems to cause everything to start out backwards (not meaning this in a bad way as I live my life a backwards way so I get it). Things move fast but it is addressed in the book that things are moving fast instead of the author just trying to rush though to the end. It wasn't a book that had me thinking about the charaters all the time but a good book & quick read.

Seduced in the Dark

What is the price of redemption?

Rescued from sexual slavery by a mysterious Pakistani officer, Caleb carries the weight of a debt that must be paid in blood.

The road has been long and fraught with uncertainty, but for Caleb and Livvie, it’s all coming to an end.

Can he surrender the woman he loves for the sake of vengeance? 

Or will he make the ultimate sacrifice?

************

Oh my gosh my heart was all torn up over this book. It bounces around so much that your head could spin. Caleb's story, Livvie's story, Detective Reeds story & Dr. Sloan's story~ not to mention bouncing from present time to past time. It's not hard to keep it all straight the author is very good at what she does! I wanted so badly to skip the end and see if there was actually going to be a happy ending because just like the first book I couldn't tell if it was going to happen or not and I won't tell you either! Lot's of Sex in this book~ Most of it hot some you could find disturbing but I think it's written such that it's actually comes off as hot. Twisted Romance story.

Captive in the Dark

Caleb is a man with a singular interest in revenge. Kidnapped as a young boy and sold into slavery by a power-hungry mobster, he has thought of nothing but vengeance. For twelve years he has immersed himself in the world of pleasure slaves searching for the one man he holds ultimately responsible. Finally, the architect of his suffering has emerged with a new identity, but not a new nature. If Caleb is to get close enough to strike, he must become the very thing he abhors and kidnap a beautiful girl to train her to be all that he once was.

Eighteen-year-old Olivia Ruiz has just woken up in a strange place. Blindfolded and bound, there is only a calm male voice to welcome her. His name is Caleb, though he demands to be called Master. Olivia is young, beautiful, naïve and willful to a fault. She has a dark sensuality that cannot be hidden or denied, though she tries to accomplish both. Although she is frightened by the strong, sadistic, and arrogant man who holds her prisoner, what keeps Olivia awake in the dark is her unwelcome attraction to him.

WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, dubious consent, strong language, and graphic violence.

***************

Well this is a Romance book in the sorts ~ no hot steamy sex although there are some sex scenes just not really steamy. I really wanted to hate Caleb for what he was doing to Livvie but then I couldn’t help hoping they would love each other and run off happily ever after. I loved Caleb even more as his story came out, which is horrible and almost unbearable to read. As i’m reading and hoping it all works out for Livvie and Caleb I can’t help but fell like there is no way that it will. Livvie will never get past what Caleb has to do and Caleb has obligations that he must fulfill. The story ends abruptly and leaves you scrambling to get the next book in the series.

 The Kindle version is only .99

Captured By You

Aussie playboy, world traveler and landscape photographer Chance Hathoway recognizes a miracle of nature when he sees it. He comes upon her unaware, swimming in the nude. Camera in hand, his instinct is to capture her ripe, naked abandon. But he longs to possess more than just her image… 

When Sherona Legion suddenly discovers that she’s being watched at her most vulnerable she’s surprised at her reaction. It’s not embarrassment or anger. It’s pure, unabashed arousal. She likes it—enough so that she’s willing to take an unprecedented risk with the sexy photographer. 

Thrilled at having the exhibitionist in her awakened, she agrees to Chance’s offer to pose for a series of nude photographs—stimulating tableaus of bondage. It leads Chance and Sherona to intimate and unparalleled experimentation. But how much is Sherona really ready to give to a complete stranger? And how much more can Chance take? 

**********

Lots of hot steaminess!! 

The love word wasn't thrown around in this book but their attraction to each other in a short time was very believable & that they had something to build on was there too. I love that a happy ending was right there for the grabbing but Sherona just couldn't do it because well pride & self worth. But then something happens & she has to see if Chances's offer still stands.

There's also a preview to Exposed to you due out Nov. 2, 2012
