Deeper

Rain Wilson isn’t ever going to love again. 

It’s a promise she made the day her boyfriend died in a water park accident, one she still blames herself for. Now she’s a senior lifeguard in a new town with a new pool and she’s just going to keep her head down and everyone safe. 

Until a mysterious guy follows her into the waves at the pre-season bonfire and kisses her senseless. It’s just one mistake, and Rain is determined to put it behind her, until the dark haired, blue eyed hottie turns out to be her new co-supervisor Knight Mcallister. 

Knight is hot, tatted, and carrying baggage of his own. He’s not happy about having Rain for a co-supervisor, and he’s even less happy about his attraction to her. 

But between lifeguard drama, hot underwater kisses, and a growing attraction between them that can’t be stopped, Knight and Rain are being pulled deeper into their pasts, and realizing that sometimes too much broken can make a relationship impossible.

Then again sometimes it’s the broken parts of us that fit together best.

At first was was slightly annoyed with all the lifeguard/swimmer talk it was a bit over the top for me. Swimmer talked settled down a bit and didn't annoy me any longer but Rain's attitude did. She is a prickly one only giving knight crumbs but the crumbs she gives don't tell him much if you ask me. I'm actually surprised he even likes her after awhile because she is so standoffish. Things started to come together for me mid book. Rain started to open up a bit and Knight put his cards on the table. They both have painful things to get over and they seem to need each other to do so.  No hot sex in this one but some pretty heavy make out scenes. 

Pretty good ending I would have liked an epilogue to be further in the future.

The Dumont Diaries covers a strippers transition into life as a trophy wife, and her discovery that her new husband is not as he seems.

The Dumont Diaries SERIES Blurb:

Candace Tapers’ life finally takes an upward swing when Nathan Dumont, shipping heir and notorious playboy, sweeps her away to a lifestyle of wealth and privilege. But that life comes with strings, and she is soon pulled in directions she never expected, discovering secrets and ulterior motives in the man who shares her bed.

The Dumont Diaries is a four-part miniseries, each book roughly 60 pages long. The books will be released a week apart from each other, starting on August 10^th.

Do Us Part (Dumont Diaries Book 4) EXCERPT:

He lifts me, wrapping my legs around his waist and carries me to the bed, our mouths fighting a frantic battle of ownership. When he bends, settling me softly on the bed, I pull back, taking a moment to study his face so close to mine. His thick brows rested perfectly above dark blue eyes, the color of deep water and just as dangerous, rimmed with thick dark lashes.  His nose is slightly burnt, evidence of our time in the sun, the effect only reinforcing his All-American perfect bone structure. Those lips, full, pink, kissably irresistible. I reach up, needing him closer, needing confirmation that he is, in fact, here with me. That he is, in fact, mine in this one moment of time. I wrap my arms around his neck and pull him back down to my mouth.   

Lust is a dangerous thing. It can make you believe things that are not real. It can seduce your mind and lead it blindfolded to the cliff that will be its demise. Nathan takes me to that cliff, my body bending and molding beneath his, my heart coming up for air in between soft caresses with his mouth while his cock hammers out a slick, rapid motion. I gasp, I arc, I dive.  I’m not naïve enough to think that it has been lust this entire time. I’ve known what was sneaking in, looking for an opening and begging for admittance. But here, in this island paradise, sharing a bed and conversation with this beautiful specimen of a man… here I can feel the final ties of restraint loosening, allowing the scary thing called love to work its way in.

The afternoon sun is streaming through our open window when he comes, the orgasm ripping through him, his body heaving and bucking inside me, my name ripped from his throat as he gives a few final thrusts, his thighs trembling against me as he buries himself fully inside of me.

A Toast to the Good Times

It’s the eve before Christmas Eve, and all that twenty-three-year-old Landry has on the agenda for the holiday is moping in the bar that he left everything behind to open.

And he’s got plenty to mope about.

He found his girlfriend treating herself to a little holiday delight with his best friend;
He hasn’t seen his family in over a year- since he alienated them all and ended up spending a night in jail;
And he may have just ruined the perfect, uncomplicated thing he had going with his platonically hot roommate, Mila.

Drinks all around!

But when he gets a call from his sister, Paisley, begging him to make it home for a huge announcement, he tosses aside his better judgment, (or, what’s left of it after that last round of drinks) and hops on the first train back home to Jersey.

But home for the holidays isn’t all mugs of cocoa and fireside chats with his family.
Landry left the people he loves the most high and dry when he fled to Boston and spent all of his inheritance…the inheritance money that he was supposed to use to help save his family’s floundering bar.

His dad will hardly look at him, his ex is maybe stalking him, his sister has dropped a bombshell on the family, and a flame from the past catches his eye. When Landry’s present and near past collide, it only further complicates things.

Landry thought he was leaving all of his problems behind when he left his family in New Jersey. But he comes home to find out that problems, like family, never go away. And sometimes facing the past with the help of someone who’s fearless about the future is the only way to move on.

Cheers?

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

I couldn't help but feel sorry for Landry because by gosh nothing seemed to be going right and he knew exactly what he was doing wrong each time. Just when I thought oh finally things are going to start swinging his way NOPE! It's really a story about seeing what is right in front of you. Seems Landry's life past and present all comes together in a matter a few days. At the end of those few days he sees clearly what he wants and tries with all he has to get it. You will have to read to see if it all works out for Landry. A few hot sex scenes nothing raunchy.

 The ending was Fantastic and there was even a Epilogue ( I LOVE Epilogue's!!).

Quotes:

"Nothing but dust and cobwebs up there. If you want a kiss you don't have to use some lame made-up Christmas tradition. I'm easy like that."

"Jingle Fucking Bells."

"Her laugh is a sound that I want to record just to play back when I feel like shit and need a reason to smile."

"Though I think it's always a pretty bad idea. Tickling is all fun and games until someone pisses their pants."

Delicate

Sydney Pierce has just met the guy of her dreams…just don’t tell her psycho boyfriend, Trevor.

With a gorgeous boyfriend, a thriving gymnastics career and a stellar academic record, anyone would assume that Sydney has it all. That's precisely what the seventeen-year-old perfectionist wants you to believe, and she works hard to keep up the pretense. Especially now that there are cameras following her for a documentary on Olympic hopefuls. 

When Grant, the charming new student, disrupts her carefully crafted routine, the cracks beneath her perfect façade begin to rise to the surface and despite Trevor's objections to their friendship, she can't stay away from him.

As her connection to Grant pulls her closer to him, the once lighthearted relationship with Trevor takes an intense and dark turn, forcing her into a position in which not only her happiness, but her safety is at stake. Can Sydney learn to let go of everything she is clinging to in order to gain everything she has ever wanted, or will she realize her breaking point too late?

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

This is a straight up Young Adult book No hot sex scenes -

 Which is totally cool sometimes I just need some
 straight up heart thumping Love!

At first I was not digging Sydney I couldn't figure out why she was getting jealous over Grant when she only hung out with him for a few days and she had a totally hot boyfriend- now that doesn't mean I didn't feel her jealously and I'm pretty sure I would have felt the same way- didn't make it right. Slowly psycho Trevor came out and her excuses began- which made me want to slap her. Grant now he is truly a Dream in every way possible!

Heart warming love story. 

I love that the author Steph Campbell gives a website for abuse and hotline for young girls (or young men I'm sure) can get help if they are in a similar situation.

Quote:

"If you're asking what I think you are, I don't think relationships should be like our wrestling matches. Relationships are supposed to make you happy, and bring something good to your life. When that stops, for me at least, then it's time to think about moving on. It's just my opinion, of course, but I think you should get out while you still have some peace of mind. Why stick around until you're yelling mercy, you know?"

Three Stages of Love: Lust

Evangeline Chase is standing at the edge of a crossroad. After choosing to be blissfully ignorant for far too long and willfully ignoring what her life has been lacking, fate is about to intervene. When Alexander Mason, a striking and powerful venture capitalist, is introduced as her new boss, Eva is overwhelmed by an intoxicating cocktail of hormones and lust that leaves her struggling to maintain her composure and more importantly, control of her life.

​

With an undeniable urge to dominate her new boss, her own lust-filled fantasies lead to a transformation that shakes her to her core. But when Alexander challenges Eva to satisfy her carnal urges, she is forced to choose between her career, her desires, and an unconventional and lustful relationship. Consumed by fear and forced to maintain control at all costs, Eva must decide if having it all is worth risking her career, her world, and possibly, love.

​

Three Stages of Love: Lust is the first book in a suspenseful new erotic romance series that explores the questions that young women have while embarking on their journey through life and love. Eva’s transformation from prim and proper to fun and dominating proves to be one of the most erotically intriguing personal makeovers around. Her passion for her career and life goals ultimately gives way to uninhibited encounters that leave her intoxicated and yearning for more. Eva’s emotional battle between her heart and mind leave her juggling with a desire to have it all and a profound fear of losing everything.

​

Written to illustrate the average, driven woman’s point of view, Three Stages of Love: Lust tackles the everyday fears and desires that young women have in an intoxicatingly erotic way. A gripping, palpitation-inducing romance full of underlying themes that are extraordinarily relevant to modern women, this enthralling erotic novel by T. C. Anthony is a must-read for women of all backgrounds.

Release date Nov. 30, 2012

Eva is so up and down throughout this book it was almost maddening. Eva is an Alpha Female that can hold her own not only in the bedroom but in the financial department as well. She struggles with waiting a career but can't seem to see how love, marriage, family can fit into a her life when she is so career driven. Everyone around her can see that she is in Love and she even admits it herself but she is so hell bend on the path she has chosen that she is willing to throw it all away. It's heart wrenching to read her self sabotage. Alexander had every reason in the world to be scared of Love but he unlike Eva is willing to take a chance. Just when I thought it was going to work out Eva surprised me ( I want to tell you I don't want to spoil it). Trust me when I tell you that the second book Three Stages of Love: Attraction cannot come soon enough! (by the end of Feb 2013)
 Third book:Three Stages of Love: Attachment (by the end of June 2013)

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.

***********

Alice Clayton rolls Hilarious into Hot once again!

The Banter between Caroline and Simon is just Hilarious and Hot at times.

I couldn't put this book down I had to find out if Simon and Caroline get together.

Then just when I thought finally it's going to happen NOPE! wth was all I could think and furiously kept reading to know how this could possibly turn around. 

The ending was ok I was hoping for more a of HEA but I obviously will take what I can get. 

Lot's of Hot Sticky Sex but not until far into the book. There are a few side romances within the book that are a bit of a mess at first.

Quotes:

"Kittens, lay back. You are about to get Wallbanged"

"I panted like a whore in church. The Church of Simon...where I was dying to kneel before him."

"Okay, he smiled back.....Stupid tata turner-downer...I mean, 

what's up with that? And he was hard!?

"the feeling of his hi-there against my hoohah was indescribable. He rained kisses down upon my neck, licking and sucking as I moaned like a whore in church."

"I was ready for some serious Simon Wang."

"An O has been lost, and I'm a sucker for a challenge."

"He fits inside me perfectly, two halves of a whole, some kind of sexual Lego."

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.' " "

Beauty Touched the Beast

Erin cleans Mr. Morris’s house twice a week, soaking up every moment with the reclusive ex-soldier she secretly loves. Blake Morris knows he’s scarred both inside and out and is no good for the beautiful young woman who cleans his house to pay for college. But when Erin walks in on Blake touching himself and moaning her name, all bets are off.

Beauty Touched the Beast is a 6K short erotic story of lovers finding refuge with each other. Not for those under 18 years of age or those uncomfortable with the subject matter.

Try Me

For the five sexy rock gods of Sole Regret, finding love is easy, keeping it is hard.

Melanie has no desire to meet the members of the rock band, Sole Regret, but her groupie of a best friend gets them both backstage and then rushes off with the band’s lead singer. Left alone at an after party with a bunch of scary tattooed and pierced metal-heads, sheltered Melanie is relieved when the only normal-looking guy in the room insists on keeping her company.

By the time Melanie discovers that Gabe is the band’s drummer and not as normal as she assumed, she has already made a complete fool of herself. She can’t help but be interested in him, not as a rock star, but as the sexiest man she’s ever encountered. Strangely attracted to his hidden tattoos and body piercing, she wonders what it would be like to spend a night with a bad boy.

Gabe is more than willing to show sweet Melanie there’s more to him than meets the eye. All she has to do is try him. Will they only share a single night of passion? Or will their hearts entangle as quickly as their bodies?

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

Quick Read 88 pages.

I think I am on a Rock Star Role with the last few books!

This book is super hot. 

I love that Melanie had no desire to hook up with a member from the band nor even be at the after party yet she finds what could be the man of her dreams. Melanie is not your typical groupie which totally attracts Gabe and well Gabe is not just a Rock Star Drummer he is so much more. Gabe was the one wanting more than a one night stand and couldn't even wait 30 mins after they parted ways to call Melanie. 

There are 3 more books in this series (last book isn't out yet) So I am hoping like the other Olivia Cunning books that I will also get to know what happens with Gabe and Melanie.

Love's Rhythm

"His music moves the world. Can his love move her heart? "

Nick Blackthorne knows all about words of love. They're the reason he's the world's biggest rock star. The irony? He turned his back on love a long time ago, lured away by the trappings of fame.

An invitation to a friend's wedding is a stark reminder of how meaningless his life has become. When he enters that church, there's only one woman he wants on his arm-the one he walked out on a lifetime ago. But first he has to find her, even if all she accepts from him is an apology.

Kindergarten teacher Lauren Robbins once had what every woman on the planet desires. Nick. Their passion was explosive, their romance the stuff of songs...and it took fifteen years to get over him. Then out of the blue Nick turns up at her door, and all those years denying her ache for him are shattered with a single, smoldering kiss.

But molten passion can't hide the secret she's kept for all these years. Because it's not just "her" heart on the line anymore...and not just her life that'll be rocked by the revelation.

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

Quick Read 155 pages

I have read similar books so some things seemed to be a bit predictable (if I would have read this book first I would not feel this way). This one didn't quit go as I thought it was going to go when Lauren's secret was revealed.  There is a lot of Hot sex scenes in this book and you don't have to wait to long for it to happen! There are lots of history that made me think the sparks were going to take awhile to catch fire. The ending was really really sweet made me get all teary eyed.
