   About BUILT: 

 From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Marked Men books comes an electrifying new spin-off series,Saints of Denver, featuring all the characters fans have been dying to read about. Sayer Cole and Zeb Fuller couldn’t be more different. She’s country club and fine-dining, he’s cell-block and sawdust. Sayer spends her days in litigation, while Zeb spends his working with his hands. She’s French silk, he’s all denim and flannel. Zeb’s wanted the stunning blonde since the moment he laid eyes on her. It doesn't matter how many smooth moves he makes, the reserved lawyer seems determinedly oblivious to his interest—either that or she doesn't return it. Sayer is certain the rough, hard, hot-as-hell Zeb could never want someone as closed off and restrained as she is, which is a shame because something tells her he might be the guy to finally melt her icy exterior. But just as things start to heat up, Zeb is blindsided by a life altering moment from his past. He needs Sayer’s professional help to right a wrong and to save more than himself. He can’t risk what’s at stake just because his attraction to Sayer feels all consuming. But as these opposites dig in for the fight of their lives, battling together to save a family, the steam created when fire and ice collide can no longer be ignored. 

  

   

~Review~

Zeb is my kind of guy so I fell in love with him right away. Now Sayer she is beautiful but she's a bit prickly. Zeb is a man that doesn't give up easily but at some point he has to let Sayer find her way to him. He get's a surprise of a life time and Sayer is there to help him through it. It's a beautiful journey for them both and in the end they get more than they could have ever imagined. Some very, hot, steamy sex scenes (of course there hot with a giant bearded man!). The ending was amazing.

~Excerpt~

As though my intense and swirling thoughts had pulled Zeb into the vortex of self-pity I was struggling in, my phone vibrated in my hand with a message from him as I wandered aimlessly through the empty rooms.

                  I shivered at the sight of his name and then silently scolded myself for having such a powerful reaction to only his name on the screen. His message was simple but for some reason it felt full of more meaning and emotion than the three words staring up at me indicated.

                  Can you talk?

                  I bit my lip and decided how to answer. I didn’t talk to my clients after office hours were done for the day and I was already having a really hard time keeping the professional and personal lines clear where he and this case were concerned. I sighed and tapped out:

                  I can. Do you want me to call you?

                  I had started this process as his friend first and it wasn’t fair to him that my heart was pulling itself apart because of his situation. He was probably nervous and scared about what was coming next week, and I was the only one who could put some of that at ease.

                  There wasn’t a response for a long couple of minutes and I hated that all I could do was stare at my phone and pace back and forth while I waited to see what he was going to say. I was acting like a teenager and it was ridiculous. I snorted at myself and was headed into the kitchen to pour myself a glass of wine when the phone rang and made me jump. I wasn’t prepared for him to call me right that moment and had a bout of anxiety about answering the call before I told myself to man up and swiped my finger across the screen.

                  “Hey. Everything all right?” I heard a car honk its horn wherever he was calling from, and he mumbled something that wasn’t directed at me before answering.

                  “Fuck no.”

And don’t miss the previous novella in The Saints of Denver Series!

This was a 5 Lady Porn book! 

I loved it & I know you will too.

“In its purest form love is self-sacrificing, eternal, selfless, enduring, truthful, forgiving and indulgent. It also feels an awful lot like a kick to the stomach when you try to fight it!” 

All Everleigh Carsen wanted to do was complete her final semester at Hensley University and begin the life she carefully planned. 

When a wave of violent crime seizes campus, Everleigh is persuaded to attend a school sponsored self-defense seminar by her best friend, where she meets volunteer instructor, Hunter Charles. After Everleigh’s biting sarcasm induces Hunter to eject her from class, a tempestuous relationship is born. 

Everleigh is determined to forget the striking man, but fate—that fickle shrew—continuously intervenes. Unable to escape him, she declares Hunter an enemy combatant. The only complication…Hunter is resolutely pursuing vindication…by any means necessary. Verbal warfare ensues, and despite Everleigh’s ingenious efforts, in Hunter, she has finally found her equal.

Only For You is a compelling tale of friendship, desire, and redemption—brimming with intelligent characters, witty dialogue, unexpected twists, profound sorrow, unfettered hope, and love’s unassailable perseverance.

By Referral Only Blog Tour Stop & Give Away!

After being unceremoniously dumped freshman year because of her family’s “new money” status, Ruby Cotton has taken care not to put her heart on the line. No matter how enticing Emilie and Quinn make it look, relationships are scary and hard—while a string of flings is easy and fun. That’s what Ruby wants. Easy and fun. The only problem is, when it comes to satisfaction in the sack, most of the boys at Whitman are nothing but pretty window dressing and false advertising.

Ruby takes it upon herself to make campus life more fulfilling, creating a referral database that allows female students to rate their sexual experiences, thereby informing girls of what they’re getting into before agreeing to a date.

When her acting partner, Liam Greene, finally shows some interest, Ruby figures she won’t need to utilize the helpful gossip. He’s handsome, fun, and most importantly, not a guy she’d ever fall for hard enough to let him break her heart.

Not only that, but dating Liam gives Ruby the perfect excuse to say no to Cole Stuart.

As a star swimmer and heir to honest-to-God Scottish royalty, Cole sits at the top of Whitman’s A-list—but he’s also the lowest rated referral on Ruby’s website. The ratings make rejecting his repeated requests for a date a no-brainer, but her real reason for avoiding Cole runs deeper than a string of unsatisfied exes.

He’s gorgeous, he oozes sweetness and charm, and the electricity between them could power half of Whitman, but Ruby knows it will only last until his family or friends convince him she’s not good enough. 

Before she knows it she’s falling anyway, waiting for the other shoe to drop but clinging to a tentative hope that Cole might be as different as he seems. When the secret behind his low ratings comes to light, that hope is torn apart, and Ruby wonders if she was right to give him her heart…and whether she has the strength to let him keep it.

**********

Excerpt:

“I can get it now, thanks. Turn around,” I ordered.

He obeyed, the expression on his face unsettled. I pulled the zipper the rest of the way down, then slipped the huge T-shirt over my head. It was shorter than my dress, but it covered my ass, and that was all that mattered. I should have taken my shoes off, too, but the thought of traipsing around the stinky kitchen in my bare feet was too much to bear. At least I’d worn sandals and not expensive heels.

Cole unbuttoned and shrugged out of his crisp pink dress shirt, still turned away from me, and then hung it over the back of the desk chair in front of him. He pulled his undershirt off next, revealing the most gorgeous back ever put on a man—tanned muscles bulged and rippled in every direction and once, making me want to know what it felt like to dig my fingers into them while his weight rested on top of me, inside of me.

In that moment, I knew I had never wanted a guy more than I wanted Cole.

But it wasn’t supposed to be this way. I was supposed to follow my own goddamn advice, listen to the girls telling me that, no matter how hot he was, how sweet he seemed, there was something missing.

Emilie and I were going to find out what it was, and then I would feel better.

I laid my dress over his shirts, then handed him an apron and tied a second around my waist. “Let’s go shell some crawfish.”

His gaze traveled down my legs, heating my skin in its wake, and I wished mine were tan and pretty like Emilie’s, not pale with a tendency to freckle. If the brightness in his eyes told the truth, Cole didn’t mind. He was from Scotland—he probably liked pale.

“Am I going to be forced to defend your honor when the kitchen staff starts drooling over you in that getup?”

“I’m going to pretend not to be insulted that you prefer a dirty T-shirt and apron to my favorite dress.”

He stepped in front of me, bracketing my face with his palms and forcing me to look up at him. I got dizzy, probably from the whiskey, but couldn’t tear my eyes away. “You look amazing in that dress. Like Grace Kelly, that’s what I thought when I saw you.”

“Well, I’m no princess. Just a girl from Louisiana.”

“A Cajun princess. Which is probably why you look even more fetching now. You looked beautiful before, like a girl I’d love to parade around in front of my friends. Now you look like the girl I’d like to toss on that desk and screw silly. The fact that you’re both at once drives me crazy.”

“I…oh.” I didn’t sound like myself, and no better words would form in my brain or come out of my mouth. My whole body ignited at his frank statement, even as the acknowledgment of my less-than-classy side made me uncomfortable.

He ran his hands down to my waist and pulled me closer, near enough that he could lower his mouth and finally end this torturous cycle of almost kissing, but he didn’t. “Tell me, hen, are you still with that worthless twally?”

Cole’s voice dipped, doing that husky thing again that turned my knees into jelly. Fire licked from my belly into my thighs, my mind still stuck on the visual of he and I going at it on Lauren’s desk, and if he hadn’t had hold of me, I might have actually fallen down.

“Who? Liam?” I shook my head. “No, I’m done with that.”

“That’s good. Otherwise this moment would have really tested my morals,” he breathed as he lowered his face and pressed his lips against mine.

Lyla Payne Bio:

I’ve long had a love of stories. A few years ago decided to put them down on the page, and even though I have a degree in film and television, novels were the creative outlet where I found a home. I’ve published Young Adult under a different name, but when I got the idea for Broken at Love (my first New Adult title), I couldn’t wait to try something new – and I’m hooked.  In my spare time I watch a ton of tennis (no surprise, there), play a ton of tennis, and dedicate a good portion of brain power to dreaming up the next fictitious bad boy we’d all love to meet in real life.

Choices Blog Tour Stop

Fate brought her here, but will her choices destroy her dreams?

Quincy Priest made all the right choices in her small town, black-and-white life. But being perfect is tiring. So. Very. Tiring.

Wanting desperately to step out of her sister's shadow, Quincy jumps at the opportunity to attend college with her best friend. The quiet bookworm with family secrets comes out of her shell. But when Quincy meets not one, but two perfect guys, she has to make a choice. In doing so, she might forfeit the relationship she secretly longed to find.

Declan. Sweet, handsome, and perfect. He makes her feel cherished for the first time in her life.

Brody. Sexy, hot, and irresistible. He could tear down her carefully built walls.

Before she can become the woman she wants to be, Quincy will make mistakes. And suffer one unimaginable loss.

Excerpt:

"One.There is Declan. I love talking to him, and I’d do just about anything to see him smile. He is adorable, and I could really see myself in a relationship with him. Two. There is Brody. I don’t even have words to describe him or how I feel when I’m around him. I mean, Jenna, he scares me. Alex says he never goes home with the same girl twice, and he confuses me with his mood swings. I don’t know if he’d be good for me, but I’d sure like to find out. Uggghhh! What is going on with me?” I am so confused. I’ve gone from worrying that I’ll never find the right guy to worrying how I’ll choose between two of them.

Jenna looks stunned, and I’m positive it’s because that is the most she has ever heard me say about a boy. Boys. “That’s just it, Quince. You aren’t running a marathon. As long as you aren’t committed to either one, you can explore your options. But trust me on this. Don’t ever play games with them. Just don’t ever lie about what’s going on, OK?” She is so serious, I’m not sure if she made me feel better or just scared the crap out of me

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

This was a college setting love triangle. It was a little less tense than another book I read that was similar but heart breaking nonetheless. Now I think I wanted to beat the crap out of Quince. She was leading Declan on and not fully giving herself to Brody creating a shit storm when things came to a head. Quince also had some family issues that came to a head causing a fall out all the way around. Some hot juicy sex scenes- nothing to detailed or raunchy. Fabulous ending.

There I was, minding my own business at Peachtree Books when this lunatic comes racing in the door and knocks me into his arms. I would have ripped him a new one, but he was kinda familiar, and hot. Like I-want-to-have-your-sexy-babies-now hot.

Turns out he looks familiar because I stare at his gorgeous face on TV every week. Yup, Dalton Deangelo. In the oh-so-firm flesh.

I let him hide out from the press for a while, then I thought he'd be on his way, and I could breathe normally again. But no. He found me interesting. He wanted to tag along to my cousin's wedding with me. I couldn't say no to that face ... or THOSE EYES. Before the night was through, he was saying sweet things, then dirty things. Very dirty things.

I try to keep my eyes wide open. I've made terrible, stupid mistakes in the past. But Dalton Deangelo's touch turns me to Jell-O.

I'm just a regular girl, and he's rich and famous with no body fat. The guy has a butler! So, why is he chasing me? And why can't I say no? And what is this sordid secret of his the reporters are trying to uncover?

EXCERPT 

The bookstore was my whole life, set up just how I liked it. Sometimes in the evening, after we were closed and the lights were dimmed, I found it difficult to leave the space. I'd stay behind and watch the traffic on the rainy street outside, as people walked back and forth, going to Java Jones or DeNirro’s, unaware of me, sitting in the dark.
Dalton pulled open the front door, and the sounds of the world came in. He'd probably get a phone call and make some excuse before we were half-way there, and I'd be going to the wedding alone. I'd had other men make big promises before, and it always started like this: the grand, spontaneous gesture. The excuses kicked in later.
My eyes were wide open.
Dalton turned to me, his beautiful green eyes bright with promise. “Let's have some fun.”
It was exactly what I needed to hear. “Fun,” I agreed, and I walked ahead of him out the door.
“What is it about bridesmaids?” he asked as soon as we were outside.
I laughed. “Maybe it's our association with the bride, all dressed in white and virtuous.”
He held out his arm for me to hold his elbow, like a gentleman. “You, Peaches Monroe, are looking quite virtuous yourself. That pretty dress with all the ruffles. You're so clean and nice, you give me bad thoughts.”
I laughed, harder this time. “Wow. You don't waste any time. You just say whatever you want, don't you?”
He grinned. “I suspect I've met my match in you.”
“Are you always like this? I feel like I've known you for years, but I've been watching you on TV. You don't know me, though, but you seem pretty comfortable.”
“My car's this way,” he said, pulling me to the right. “And who's to say I don't already know you? Maybe we share a common past.”
“I think I'd remember that.”
He stopped walking and turned to look at me. Really look at me. With those gorgeous green eyes, set in that achingly handsome face.
I started to worry he was going to kiss me. Or not kiss me. Either way, I was in big trouble.
He looked down my body, along my fluffy bridesmaid gown, like he was formulating a plan to get it off of me.
Forget the wedding, I thought. Unzip me, bend me over, and make me call you weird names until the sun comes up.
He smiled, as if he was his vampire character, and could read my mind.

Breathless Review & Give Away!!

The young, hot professional Motocross rider, Jesse Morrison, knows how to leave an impression. Only lately, it has mostly been bad impressions. Frustrated about unlucky turn of events, he surrounds himself with women, booze and drugs, until he, in search of a change of pace, sets out on a trip to sunny California to help his uncle Kenny, save his sports bar.

In Los Angeles, Jesse meets the one woman who can lead him back on the right path, the beautiful 22 year old, Niki Milani. Only problem is, she is not interested. Niki has her own past demons to fight. A past that left her feeling abandoned with a deep void in her soul. She does not open up her heart easily and finds it difficult to trust a man again. Especially, not a bad boy player who seems even more messed up than herself. However, Jesse never backs down from a challenge. He is determined to prove to Niki that there is more to him than what appears on the surface. Could he be the one person, who can fill her void?

The story of Jesse and Niki is a New Adult Romance, that will leave you breathless.


***********

Jesse is one major man whore! Lots of hot raunchy sex scenes with him. Niki & Jesse don't actually meet until mid way through the book. They have an instant attraction but things get messy from the get go. Once things seem to smooth out something rears it's ugly head and blows it all apart. I personally think Niki is overreacting but she has her reasons I suppose. Things move a bit fast towards the end of the book but the attraction they have is powerful so it's all good. The ending will leave you wanting more- Kind of a bombshell ending. 

Quotes:

"I was just messing with him. Besides, he's my future husband. He just doesn't know it yet."

"Sorry, didn't mean to baptize you with beer."

"Hell, he nearly fucked you with his eyes just now."

"Follow your heart. The past is history and tomorrow, well tomorrow is just a mystery."
