Synopsis
Love believes in second chances.
Francis Heller lives with two truths. Love hurts and beauty is only skin deep. With midnight black hair, moss-colored eyes, and traceable curves, Fran is the picture of beauty and confidence...on the outside. But deep down she is tormented. Not just by the jagged scars that line her body, but by the horrible memories that cloud her mind and haunt her dreams. The ones that make her want to flee from herself and from the devastating pain. The ones that cause her to placate herself with sex. Anything to make her forget. But for Fran, there's nowhere to hide from the darkness that swallows her whole.

Matt Dixon is the gorgeous brother of her best friend's fiancée. He's suffered losses of his own and isn't willing to let anyone in until his unexpected encounter with Fran Heller, the girl who challenges him and causes him to take a second look, not only at her, but at his own life.
But Matt has scars of his own. Together can they help each other discover that second chances really do exist? That love doesn't have to hurt? Or has the damage they've both suffered cut too deep to ever heal?

**NA/Contemporary Romance with language and mature sexual content.**

About the Author

I am a wife, a mom, an author, and a lover of all things chocolate, well, anything sweet really. While stuffing chocolate in my face, I enjoy reading young adult and new adult novels furiously, and spending time with my husband and two adorable children who keep me on my peppermint pink painted toes. Those same children who inspire me to tell silly stories that cause hysterical giggles to tumble from their bellies.
I love to laugh and love to have a good cry, especially after reading a novel that stretches my soul, one that makes me feel, and lingers in the corner of my heart. I’m a hopeless romantic and a happily ever after fanatic, and I love to write about LOVE. I began writing when I was in middle school, penning anything from short stories, to poetry, and then later moved on to write children’s books.  I have now endeavored into New Adult and Contemporary Romance novels and am loving every minute of it.  My first novel, Love Love, was released in May, 2013.

Blurb:
I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I let them know. They don’t need to know a name; they don’t need to know anything, but that they are not alone in my heart.

They have accepted the situation. Stewart, because his life is too busy for the sort of obligations that are required in a relationship. Paul, because he loves me too much to tell me no. And because my sexual appetite is such that one man has trouble keeping up.

So we exist, two parallel relationships, each running their own course, with no need for intersection or conflict. It works for us, for them, and for me. I don’t expect it to be a long-term situation. I know there is an expiration date on the easy perfection of our lives.

I should have paid more attention, should have looked around and noticed the woman who watched it all. She sat in the background and waited, tried to figure me out. Saw my two relationships, the love between us, and the moment that it all fell apart.

She hates me.
I don’t even know she exists.
She loves them. I love them.
And they love me.

Everything else hangs in the balance.

Review of Sex Love Repeat:
Sex. Love. Repeat. by Alessandra Torre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Sex, Love & one click this one.

ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. HEA and stand-alone.  4.75- 5.00 stars!

Two men love her.  She loves both of the men in her life and in her bed.  She also loves and craves sex as much as I need coffee, books, wine and chocolate.

Is she being stalked?

You might hate Madison (Maddy)…she’s a blond, beautiful, sweet, surfer and has two very different hot men wrapped around her perfect finger.  She loves both of them.  Stewart Brand is too committed to work and doesn’t have the time to fulfill Maddy’s insatiable sexual appetite.  Stewart doesn’t want Maddy screwing half of LA because he is too busy with his career to satisfy her.  He tells her to get a boyfriend to help step-in and take care of her needs when he can’t be around.  She meets and falls for Paul Linx.  He is a hot as hell professional surfer.  They end up living together.  Maddy was upfront from day one  and everyone is on the same page about the dynamics of this relationship. Maddy is the best thing that happened to both of them and they don’t too loose her.  Stewart and Paul love her enough to deal with this crazy sex triangle. She knows that this triangle can’t go on forever…and eventually she will have to choose.  The wealthy venture capitalist or the surfer.   Sometimes decisions are made for you...sometimes against your will. Someone is watching her…and learning all of her moves with both men.  Why do they pay attention to her?  Why don’t they call her back?  Hmmm…

There were times I disliked Maddy…but I have to give her huge props for being straight up honest with both men.  Talking about having your cake and eating it too!  Hello...where is my kindle screen?  Defog it from the steam factor. Alessandara Torre can write some smutastic sex scenes (fanning self).  At first I thought this was just going to be a well written smut book.  Nope…it was more.  This book is well written, great character and plot development.  Aghhh...what a plot twist…that you will never see coming. HEA and stand alone. Would I recommend smoking hot love triangle?  Hell yes.  I finished this book in a day.  Sex…Love and One Click this one now.

Today, the novella spotlight is Winter Kisses (3:AM Kisses Book 2) by Addison Moore. Check out the excerpt and enter the giveaway! You can buy any of the 12 NA’s of Christmas titles on Amazon.

Laney Sawyer used to believe in love and all of the trappings that happily ever after could provide until Ryder Capwell crushed her heart. When Laney is auctioned off as a prize at the drama department fundraiser the last person she expects to trade cold hard cash for her company is Ryder.

Ryder Capwell is in love with Laney Sawyer. One year ago she walked out of his life and took the light of his world right along with her. Ryder would do anything to have another chance with Laney, including purchasing her for the evening courtesy of Whitney Briggs University, and he does just that. 

One thing leads to whiskey, which leads to a one-night stand. She thinks it’s revenge sex—he thinks its make up sex. Things can only go wrong from here.

EXCERPT
I used to believe in love. I used to believe that two people and one lifetime equaled happily-ever-after. I used to believe that the strong arms that once held me tight would always protect, never leave, never give up on us. 
Maybe he didn’t give up on us. Maybe I did. 
At the end of the day, maybe we both did. 
And yet, here I am in his penthouse again, devoid of clothes, low on dignity, loaded with whiskey. 
“Let me into your heart, Laney,” he pleads with those deep navy eyes as we stand just shy of his bed. “Let me crush every memory you have of the two of us and make something new, something better, something that never disappoints because it doesn’t know how.” He dots a series of hot kisses slowly up my neck, and I groan. 
My skin touches his, and then it’s over. I’m all in. Every last inch of me has been so thirsty for Ryder, and now, here I am, ready to drown in the cool spring of his affection while my entire body reanimates under his willful supervision. A part of me died last winter in a very real way, and, here he is, reawakening me, breathing life back into my soul by way of his mouth, his fingers—his bare flesh.
He pulls back and rakes over me with his slow gaze. 
“Get in my bed,” he growls it out, sharp like an order. 
“If you want me in your bed you’ll have to damn well put me there yourself.”
Ryder gives the ghost of a smile. 
And he does.

Title: Beautiful Failure
Author: Mariah Cole
Genre: New Adult Romance
Hosted by: Mary Elizabeth’s Crazy Book Obsession

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18625288-beautiful-failure

Synopsis

If you're looking for a heartwarming story about a girl who falls deeply in love with a troubled boy who changes her life--a sob story with pretty metaphors and a million ways that'll tell you how "broken" she is, STOP. Don't read another word of this. 

I'm not that type of girl. 

My name is Emerald Anderson and I'm not going to bullshit you: I flunked out of college after my sophomore year, I've been fired from every job I've ever taken, and I've never had a fully functioning relationship in my life. 

I wish I could say that I had a cheerleader in my corner, someone who says, "No, Emerald--You're great and you are good at something!" but I don't. My grandparents are completely oblivious to my life, and my mother's dying words to me were "You're going to end up just like me one day. A beautiful nothing." 

She was right.

As I decide to start my life over and take two jobs that will forever change me--one from the inside, and one from the outside, I keep my mother's words close to my heart so I can keep the sexy and mysterious Carter Black away. 

He's the first man who's ever pursued me, the first man who seems bent on finding out why I am the way I am, but he's wasting his time. 

I'm not broken. I don't need to be fixed. I'm perfectly fine being a beautiful failure...

It’s Maggie and Clay’s first Christmas together…



Clay and Maggie have gone through the dark and come out on the other side. For the first time, they are on this journey together. Fighting for something they both need and can’t live without…each other.

But a long distance relationship is hard. Particularly for two people who are still trying to build something solid on a shaky and troubled foundation. Clay is finally out of treatment and is living in an out patient halfway house. He struggles with what he wants to do and where he wants to go. Questions he worries he will never have the answers to. Maggie is trying to transition into college life and learning how to create a future with someone who is over a thousand miles away.

As the months pass and they struggle with being a part, old insecurities and fears take root and threaten a love that has come so far.

When Maggie decides to fly to Florida as a surprise for Clay on Christmas, she is unsure whether it will be the first step toward what they both desperately want or whether it could possibly be the end of it all.

But with the holidays approaching, Maggie and Clay are reminded that even when the days are coldest, you can still find the warmth and that hope and love are the greatest gifts of all.

EXCERPT
Maggie’s warm laugh made my heart beat faster and for the millionth time I wished she were here. I would give anything to smell her hair and feel her fitted against me, filling the space meant only for her. 

I felt like the worst kind of masochist for denying myself the one thing I needed most. All it took was Maggie and everything was perfect. 

But I guess that was the point of all this. Because I needed to find a way for my life to make sense with or without the girl I loved. My world would always revolve around Maggie May Young but I desperately needed to become the guy who wouldn’t fall apart without her.

She had been my fix for so long and it wasn’t fair to put the entire fate of my mental health squarely on her shoulders. Existing like that was unhealthy and toxic. And she deserved so much more than that. So much more than what I had always given her.
