I look her body up and down as I circle her.
Mine?
I smile a devious, deviant, I’m gonna make you sorry you ever started playing this game with me smile.
And then I take her hand.
I lead her to the elevator.
We go up to my apartment.
I tie her wrists together with rope.
Raise her arms above her head.
And chain her to the ceiling.
It’s my turn.

Excerpt

“Why are you so nervous?” I ask Jordan. We’re sitting in Smith’s bar. The table is elaborately set for a nice dinner, our glasses are full of expensive alcohol, and our cocks are happy. Why does he look like shit is about to hit the fan? “She had a good time,” I say, sipping my brandy.
“Yeah,” Jordan says. His eyes are glued to the elevator doors, just waiting for her to come downstairs. “But it was sneaky, ya know?”
“What was sneaky about it?”
He shoots me a look that says, Come on.
“She gave in, Jordan. We didn’t make her do anything.”
“Right.” He sighs. “But you’re what, just pretending we didn’t have that conversation this morning? You know, the one where you said, ‘I’m gonna fuck with her head so bad, she’ll spin like The Exorcist?’”
“It was a joke.” I laugh. “All we did was make her feel good tonight. She loved every fucking minute of it. Even when I choked her with my cock. She couldn’t get enough.”
“That’s because she was drunk on your dick at the time, Bric. But that feeling is gonna wear off and she’s gonna run the entire night through her head, and then—”
“Then she’s gonna realize we know what the fuck we’re doing. That’s all.”
“No,” he says. “She’s gonna realize you’re just playing with her emotions. Like you do with every fucking woman you’ve ever been with.”
“So?”
“So then she’s gonna up her game, Bric. And this is gonna turn into a mind-fuck shit-fest. I like her,” he says. “Maybe more than like her, OK? I don’t want her thinking I’m like you.”
“You are like me,” I say, getting pissed off. Why the fuck is he sharing her with me if he likes her so much?
But I don’t ask that question.
Because I like her too. Just not in the same way.
“See,” Jordan says.
“See what?” I ask
“That fucking evil grin you’ve got on your face. I know you well enough, Bricman. Well enough to see the Machiavellian wheels turning inside your head. Do not play with her emotions.”
“Why?” I ask, my temper rising. “Is she some kind of fragile flower?”
But then I realize this intrigues me.
“Stop it,” Jordan says. “She’s not a puzzle, OK?”
“Then why are we even playing?”
He huffs out some air. Runs his fingers through his still-wet hair. “Because she’s not…” He trails off.
“She’s not what?” I ask. What the fuck is wrong with him tonight?
“She’s not my type.”
“OK,” I say, not really understanding.
“I mean I’m not really her type.”
“Hmm,” I say. “Do you love her?”
“No,” he says. “Definitely not. But I like her. I could see myself playing with her for a long time. And if you fuck it up, that won’t happen. You, of all people, understand how fucking hard it is to get a girl you can trust in this game. One who just gets you, ya know? We get each other, Bric. I realize it’s only been a few weeks, but we know each other. I just like her. And we have an understanding. I get to boss her around and be a dick, but she knows I’m not a dick, right? She knows I’ll show up the next day and treat her nice and give her a gift. She knows I’m just playing. We’re playing.”
“It’s a game. Same as this,” I say.
“Dude, come on,” he says, almost fully exasperated now. “You are a sick motherfucker, OK? You know this, right?”
“Then why am I even here?”
“Because we’re good together, ya know. Not great. Yet,” he adds. “Not what you had with Smith and Quin, obviously. But we understand each other. We work well as a team. She liked that up there.”
“So what’s the problem?”
“The problem is you’re in a weird place right now and I’m afraid you’re gonna take it out on Nadia. Don’t do that, OK?” He stares at me. “Just be…”
“Just be your back-up?” I ask, huffing out a laugh.
He shrugs. But that’s it. That’s what he wants. Don’t overpower him. Don’t take her away from him. Don’t make her rethink her strategy. Just help him keep her.
It takes me a minute to decide if I’m angry or not.
I decide I’m not. I don’t give two fucks about this Nadia girl. And my goal really was to break her. So I shrug. “Fine,” I say. “You want a wingman. Fine. I’ll help you out, Jordan. But when I need a favor, I’ll expect the same in return.”

Train Wreck RELEASE BLITZ By T.Gephart




Title: Train Wreck
Author: T. Gephart
Genre: Romantic Comedy
Release Date: July 10, 2017



Blurb

“No passion, no emotion, no originality—a train wreck of epic portions.”

Those were the words to describe Eve Thorton’s exhibition. Not even a fine arts degree from Yale or her daddy’s bank account could save her from the scathing reviews. And failure was a word Eve would never be comfortable with. Not even close.

Plotting the demise of every critic who’d written her off was her first instinct. But that would come later. Instead, she would show them that she wasn’t a bored socialite with more money than talent.

She would prove everyone wrong, and she wasn’t afraid to get her hands dirty. But when her journey for redemption crashed headfirst into Josh Logan, the sexy, talented tattooist from Queens, getting her hands dirty took on a whole new meaning.

Josh was everything Eve wasn’t, translating on skin what she couldn’t onto her canvas. All she had to do was convince him to share his jaw-dropping brilliance, and help her—seeing him naked—a bonus. Then she could go back to her regular life, vindicated.

It should have been easy. Pity her plans had a habit of derailing.

Author Bio

T Gephart is an indie author from Melbourne, Australia.

T's approach to life has been somewhat unconventional. Rather than going to University, she jumped on a plane to Los Angeles, USA in search of adventure. While this first trip left her somewhat underwhelmed and largely depleted of funds it fueled her appetite for travel and life experience.

With a rather eclectic resume, which reads more like the fiction she writes than an actual employment history, T struggled to find her niche in the world.

While on a subsequent trip the United States in 1999, T met and married her husband. Their whirlwind courtship and interesting impromptu convenience store wedding set the tone for their life together, which is anything but ordinary. They have lived in Louisiana, Guam and Australia and have traveled extensively throughout the US. T has two beautiful young children and one four legged child, Woodley, the wonder dog.

An avid reader, T became increasingly frustrated by the lack of strong female characters in the books she was reading. She wanted to read about a woman she could identify with, someone strong, independent and confident and who didn't lack femininity. Out of this need, she decided to pen her first book, A Twist of Fate. T set herself the challenge to write something that was interesting, compelling and yet easy enough to read that was still enjoyable. Pulling from her own past "colorful" experiences and the amazing personalities she has surrounded herself with, she had no shortage of inspiration. With a strong slant on erotic fiction, her core characters are empowered women who don't have to sacrifice their femininity. She enjoyed the process so much that when it was over she couldn't let it go.

T loves to travel, laugh and surround herself with colorful characters. This inevitably spills into her writing and makes for an interesting journey - she is well and truly enjoying the ride!


Based on her life experiences, T has plenty of material for her books and has a wealth of ideas to keep you all enthralled.

Steal (Seaside Pictures #3) By Rachel Van Dyken



It's easy to lose yourself in someone you love.
Easier to lose yourself in someone you hate...
I didn't think it could get any worse than having to babysit a bunch of spoiled musicians on set -- keeping them out of trouble is a cakewalk compared to seeing my ex every day.
Seaside, Oregon isn't big enough for the both of us.
She hates me.
I loathe her.
The plan was simple -- stay the hell away and make sure she gets to set on time.
What I didn't expect was to be faced with our past in front of an audience -- and be forced to face it again.
It's torture.
The way she looks at me.
The way I try to look through her.
Words left unsaid.
The lingering aftermath still as powerful as ever.
I feed the chasm between us, for fear that she'll make me feel again -- and steal the last shred of heart I have left.
We have everything but each other.
It's not enough.
Not when you've lost love.
And replaced it with the only thing left -- hate.



Only RVD could take the most hated character in all her series and make her completely lovable. 
Angelica has caused so much trouble in past books. She seems to be the villain in each book and she's good at it. She was EVIL!!!

Then Rachel made me love her and at first I was unsure whether to love or hate HER, but then I kept reading, because I really did love Angelica in the end. In fact, she's become one of my favourite characters. 
She was literally FAKE all the time. which is what this book should have been called. Because finally, FINALLY, we get to see the real her. And she is so lovely. She's gone through so much, so, so much. Her drug habit was a huge struggle for her and I know people can say, it's her own fault. But until you've been where she's been, you will NEVER understand. 
I felt so deeply for her and for her to come out of her rehab, finally clean, and kind of free, that shows how STRONG she is. Because she is strong. 
And to put up with all the hateful things thrown at her, even though she finally changed her life, made me sooooooo sad. I wanted to cuddle her. 
I even cried over her not having a door. (You'll understand if you've read it) and then again when she got that door back. 
It signified so much, not only for her, but for Will.

It wasn't just Angelica who needed to find her way. Will did to. And he has a long way to go before he does. 

Make sure you check out Steal, #3 in the Seaside Pictures series. 


Also, anyone else wishing seaside was real and we could move there??? No, just me??? OKay then.

Deklan By Shay Savage



My father owes a debt. 
I am his currency.
I’m supposed to marry the recently crowned mafia king of the Foley family as repayment for my father’s transgressions. I don’t understand why the Foleys would want me, but I’ve grown up in a crime family, and I know the ugly consequences of not doing what you’re told. 
But as the wedding date approaches, the deal changes, and I’m about to be wed to a man I know nothing about. In fact, I don’t even know his last name.
Instead of becoming a mafia princess, I’m marrying the henchman.
Deklan.
After one look at him, I’m not sure I’ll survive the wedding night


When I read the blurb for Deklan, I expected it to be a typical mafia romance. He was going to be this dominate, mean, over alpha male who scares the hell out of her. 

But that isn't what we get. 

No....

Deklan, even with all his hard exterior is actually the softest person I've known to be in a mafia romance novel. He cares. 
Not only about his new wife, but about marriage. He's gone through his own traumas but in the end, his belief in God, and in his vows are sacred. It's special. And it made me love his character. 

But the world is out to get the main female heroin. She is thrown to the wolves without knowing much of what her future will hold. 
She was kidnapped as a child and had already been through a lot. But with Deklan, she feels safe again, even if she is unsure at first.

Endgame: An Ocean Bay Standalone By Chloe Walsh



My name is Mercy James, and I've always had a three-point plan:

•Get through senior year with the best possible grades.
•Get a full-ride scholarship through college. 
•Get the hell away from my irresponsible single mother. 

I didn’t think this was too much to ask for and I worked damn hard to make it a reality. 
For years, everything went according to plan. Sure, I was dragged through several different schools and towns since the age of ten by my emotionally stunted mother, but I was almost there, dammit. I was on the verge of starting senior year in high school and my final year of this plan…
Until my mother went and did the unthinkable!
She only went and got herself knocked up by a man who lives on the other side of the country! 
Worse than getting pregnant, mom married the douche. 
As if it wasn’t bad enough to uproot my entire life six weeks before senior year, Mom's new husband, Gabe Owens, comes with baggage. 
A sweet stepsister, Amelia. 
And the b*stard of all b*stards, Rourke. 
Rourke is my age and doesn’t want me in his town, much less his home. He's also hell bent on making sure I know it.
Thing is, I don’t want to be there either, and if Rourke Owens expects me to swan in and kiss his ass to make him like me, then he has another thing coming. 
I'm nobody's bitch and he's about to learn that.



Holy crap!!!

I couldn't put this book down. It has a fallen crest/Elite/The Royals series feel to it. 
More and more books like this are coming out, and you know, I've never gotten bored with one of them. 

I felt for Mercy, I really did. 
She was thrown into a situation where she had no choice of anything. She didn't get a say, or a who or what. 
And not only that, she's spent her whole life looking after her mother that she's fearful when her new husband gets bored of her, she will be the one left holding the baby her mum is carrying. 
And I can see why she's fears it. Her mum isn't the best mum whatsoever. 

And to top all those fears, she has to start a new school and live with her new step dads kids. One who is her age and hates her. 

But their relationship is a love/hate one. The chemistry is off the charts and the ending.... AMAZING.

Becoming a Vincent (Wild Ones #1) By CM Owens



When you live in a place where “turbo speed” internet is a slight step above dial-up, men carry on nine-year beard-growing challenges out of stubborn pride, and your brothers do things like nail all your panties to the outside of your cabin just for funsies, you tend to be a little crazy. You can call it a "locational" hazard, if you will.

That’s Tomahawk for you.

We rank people based on just how crazy they are. And the four craziest families in town are called the Wild Ones.
I’m on the bottom tier of those, so technically I’m not as crazy as the other Wild Ones. In fact, if it wasn’t for my brothers and their endless antics, I wouldn’t be considered a Wild One at all. Ahem. Sure. We’ll go with that.

Anyway, I have a best friend who endures it all with me. Benson Nolans is my one, constant favorite person.
Without him, I’d probably go really crazy, and not the fun kind. It’d be ridiculous, after three years of a flawless friendship, to mess that all up by falling for him.

I mean, even if we did get a little too close one night, it’d be reckless endangerment. Even if we did suddenly feel the chemistry that’s always been there and stop toeing the line, it’d be a foolish risk to take.

It’d be stupid to start hoping a really fun, but completely irrational, night with zero inhibitions might accidentally happen.
Really stupid…

Right?



Who would have thought that Beards could make you want to pee yourself laughing. 
But hey, this is CM Owens and she's crazy, funny, witty, and really knows how to make us laugh are asses off over the smallest things. 

I ONE CLICKED Becoming A Vincent on RELEASE DAY and I'm so glad I did. It's a new series for CM Owens and one I know I'm going to love. 

The story is the blurb through and through, and a lot more. 
I'm always surprised when she releases a new book, because you never know what loony plan she's conquered up next. And how the hell she thinks of it. But the wonderful woman does, bringing light and laughter to our day.

Fighting With Honor (Men Of Honor Novella) By KC Lynn



Once a man pledges his honor to his country, that sacrifice is embedded in his soul forever. For years he’s trained to fight, kill, and do whatever necessary to protect his country and its freedom, even if it means giving his own life.

He becomes more of a machine than human—one that’s built to destroy the enemy.

When it’s time to turn in his weapons, he never forgets the skills he learned. Never forgets the smell of death or feel of a rifle in his hands. The same hands that one day cradle his baby girl and caress the skin of his beautiful wife.

If anything or anyone ever tried to steal away the family he has vowed to love and protect, may God have mercy on their soul.



Fighting with Honor is a short Novella, but my lord, it's a powerful one. And I mean, seriously powerful. 

I'm not even going to do my usual review by breaking down the book in parts of why I loved it, because it wouldn't even do her words justice. Instead, it needs to be read. 

You will get all the feels with this book and if, like me, at the end, you'll want to ask KC Lynn why it wasn't a full novel. Because it really was that good. As much as I wanted what was happening to end, I just wanted to keep reading, to feel the intensity of her words and the emotion behind them.

Fallen Crest Forever (Fallen Crest #7) By Tijan



Mason Kade is the dream.
He is the promise.
He’s offering what so many would fantasize about, and it’s not that I don’t want it/him/us.
It’s the opposite.
There might be ghosts haunting me, but this man who's my soulmate is asking me for forever.
How can I say no to someone who already gave me my happily ever after?

I don't think reviews are really necessary at this point in the series. Because come on, TIJAN is a legend. She really is. 

If you've not started Fallen Crest, make sure you do. Here are my thoughts on the last book, so don't read ahead, SPOILERS!!!!!


In my last review I mentioned Sam's constant negativity. I mean, the girl LOVES him, like truly loves him and yet, she is up one minute and down the next. She is so negative throughout the books and the girl has every right to be, but I honestly thought, with the last book being the ending of the series, we would see a different, free side to Sam. 
But we don't. 
She's still up and down through the book. 
One minute she wants to marry him, the next, she doesn't. It actually become kind of a headache. 

That said, I LOVE these characters and my love for them has grown throughout the series. You can't help it. And even though I'm moaning about Sam's personality traits, I do still love her character and the story. I also love Tijan's writing.
Each book faces new problems for the fearsome threesome, but in this one, it's them. 
There's a part towards the end where Logan is saying goodbye to Sam and Mason and it seriously broke my heart. I actually cried. I did a few times during the book, but you have to read it aha Yes, I know, I'm mean, but I'm not going to spoil everything. READ IT!!

Lethal Lies (Blood Brothers #2) By Rebecca Zanetti



A deadly secret can't stay buried forever...
Revenge. It's the only thing that helps Anya Best sleep at night. The serial killer who murdered her sister is on the loose, and Anya will stop at nothing to put him behind bars. But she can't do it alone.
Private investigator Heath Jones's job is to bring the bad guys to justice. He knew the Copper Killer's latest victim so when her sister asks for help, he's all in.
But when Anya uses the media to taunt the killer, she exposes Heath's identity, putting them both in jeopardy. Now, long-buried secrets are coming to light - and the forces determined to destroy Heath are watching, waiting to exact their own revenge by any means necessary...



So....
Everyone knows how much I love this series, I make it known as much as possible. 
If only I could get my friend to read them. She just won't give them a chance. But hey, it's her loss, right???? RIGHT!

Anyway, Heath has been on the copper killers case since the beginning. He grew close to Anya's sister who sadly, in the last book, is captured by the killer. 

But my God, there's more to the killer than him killing innocent women with red hair, and dads in some sort of law enforcement. In fact, he's tied to both characters that will have you shocked as hell. And trust me, I'm usually the one to guess who is who, but yeah, I had no idea. 

And, Dc Madison, yet again strikes back. I really wish that woman didn't have nine lives. Every time she comes into the book, I want to shake some sanity into the woman. She really has lost the plot. 

Another good book from Rebecca Zanetti, and the coupling in this book??? Bang on!!! The chemistry is off the charts, but the secrets????? They just keep coming. And the damn epilogue. 

Okay, so now I'm writing this review, it's making me want to read it all over again. It's brilliantly thought out and this author has an incredible imagination. The timing, the information and backstory, it's just brilliant. 

Make sure you check out the Sin Brother's first before reading this series. It's a follow on and will help you understand more who Dc Madison is and why she is after them.

CockLoft



Cockloft: A firefighter term used as a structural space above ceiling and below rafters, often connecting adjacent occupancies and permitting fire to spread laterally, often unseen.



Gabriel Martinez is the most arrogant and infuriating man I’ve ever met. He has a knee-weakening smirk that makes me want to kiss—no—slap it off his rude, sexy face. Judging by his ego, you’d think the hose in his pants is as big as the one on his fire truck. Not that I know anything about that nor do I want to. Nope, not at all. He’s already been forgotten like last season’s Michael Kors.

CeCe Kensington is as pretentious and spoiled as they come. The ridiculous purses she shoulders around are as big as her attitude. And don’t get me started on her mile-long legs or full, glossy lips that are meant to be wrapped around a guy’s… If she only knew the dirty things I think about doing to that sassy mouth of hers, she'd be hightailing it back to her side of town.

✿¸.•´¸✿*´¨) ¸.•*¨✿

When the beautiful boutique owner and sexy firefighter meet in the most unlikely situation, their two worlds collide, creating an explosion of misperceptions and combustible heat, trapping them in a fire they never saw coming.
