Cover Reveal: Last Shadow by Pepper Winters

Pepper Winters knows how to write dark and twisted stories. I have a feeling Last Shadow will be pretty raw and intense.  I was crazy glued to Pepper's first book --Tears of Tess. Check out synopsis for Last Shadow.  It might not be for everyone..so proceed with caution.

Title: Last Shadow
Author: Pepper Winters
Genre: Dark Romance
Tentative Release Date: April 2014
Add to Goodreads:
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18403217-last-shadow
Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets

Synopsis
A New Adult Dark Contemporary Romance, not suitable for people sensitive to slavery, cruelty, and non-consensual sex. A story about a killer with no remorse, a woman living in nightmares, and a future that binds them in servitude. 
***
I’m named after the blackest of shadows. Conjured from earth, created by demons, molded by fire to become the perfect killer. I need no-one. I feel nothing. I am nobody… until her. 
***

My name is of no consequence, they sometimes call me whore, slut, or possession. I dance by night and waste away by day. Every foul moment of this life is replaced with my hopes and dreams, inked onto my skin for the world to see.  I have a promise to keep. I will be free—it’s only a matter of time…until him.


Pepper Winters wears many roles. Some of them include writer, reader, sometimes wife. She loves dark, taboo stories that twist with your head. The more tortured the hero, the better, and she constantly thinks up ways to break and fix her characters. Oh, and sex… her books have sex. She loves to travel and has an amazing, fabulous hubby who puts up with her love affair with her book boyfriends. 
Her debut book Tears of Tess will be followed with Quintessentially Q. You didn’t think Q could stop so soon, did you? Her other two titles, Last Shadow and Broken Chance will be coming soon.

EXCLUSIVE Blog Tour Giveaway & Top Five List - The Edge of Always by J.A. Redmerski


Did you read The Edge of Never (book #1) by J.A. Redmerski? If you didn't read it yet... you can try and win a copy below or just one click a copy now on Amazon. Trust me on this. The Edge of Always (Book #2) just hit eBook shelves this week.   Both books earned five plus stars from Kindle Crack Book Reviews.  JRed is one of my all time favorite writers.  Reviews of both books, an exclusive top five list for Kindle Crack Book Reviews from Andrew and book giveaway of the series below.  
  
Do you want to know the top five things Andrew loves about Camryn? How could you not. Andrew Parrish is on my top five ultimate book boyfriend list. I'm not a "swooner" - but I actually swoon over this man!

Top 5 thing's Andrew loves about Camryn
•  Andrew loves Camryn's smart mouth and how she's not afraid to tell him like it is.
•  He loves that she is ambitious and driven to think and live outside of the box, and that she doesn't want to live a average life.
•  Andrew loves that Camryn takes his mom's feelings so often into consideration.
•  Her rockin' body and the intelligence and kindness that comes with it
•  Andrew loves that Camryn is so much like him.


Synopsis:
He was taking the long road. She was taking the road to nowhere. It just so happened that they led to the same place…

When everything falls apart, love remains . . .

THE EDGE OF ALWAYS
Camryn Bennett has never been happier. Five months after meeting on a Greyhound bus, she and her soul mate Andrew Parrish are engaged—and a wedding isn’t the only special event in their future. Nervous but excited, Camryn can’t wait to begin the rest of her life with Andrew – a man she knows in her heart will love her always. They have so much to look forward to—until tragedy blindsides them.


Andrew doesn’t understand how this could happen to them. He’s trying to move on, and thought Camryn was doing the same. But when Andrew discovers Camryn is secretly harboring a mountain of pain and attempting to numb it in damaging ways, there is nothing he won’t do to bring her back to life. Determined to prove that their love can survive anything, Andrew decides to take Camryn on a new journey filled with hope and passion. If only he can convince her to come along for the ride…

Review by Kindle Crack Book Reviews:
The Edge of Always (The Edge of Never, #2)The Edge of Always by J.A. Redmerski
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided by Netgalley and Hachette Book Group, Grand Central Publishing Forever in exchange for an honest review.  No cliff hanger. Book one should be read first. Spoiler-free review.  Release date – November 5th.  Five stars.

The Edge of Always is the stunning conclusion of J.A. Redmerski’s The Edge of Never series. Camryn and Andrew are back on the road living their dream in book two.  Their spontaneous adventure continues with a few painful pit stops and detours to tackle some real issues with drugs, dependency and health.  Camryn and Andrew’s hearts were like passports…stamped with so many emotions. They visited love, lust, pleasure, pain and depression to name a few.

TEOA unravels from both Camryn and Andrew's POV.  It was so nice getting into Andrew's head and I think I might love him a little more in book two!  There were times that I wanted to hug and smack the heck out of Camryn (but mostly hug).  The Edge of Never (Book #1) is still my favorite…but book two was certainly worth the wait.  JRed did not disappoint -- if anything she exceeding my expectations with how this story continued.  The Edge of Always had me on the edge of my seat up until the very last page. I was swept away in Camryn and Andrew’s emotional road map and loved the way this story played out.

I can only wish a spin off with a new character that came into the picture. Maybe we will be lucky and get “The Edge of Forever”? This book is an absolute must read. Thanks for the Kindle Crack J.A. Redmerski.

Promo Blog Tour - Hers by Dawn Robertson

I think I just found my next steamy and twisted book. I just added Her by Dawn Robertson to my TBR.  Check out the synopsis below. 



Synopsis:
I am weak.
I am lonely.
I am a slut.
I am strong.
I am Dominant.
I am independent.
I am Seven James.

My entire life, no one has wanted me, and that was fine, because I sure as shit didn't need anyone else. Blah, Blah Blah, insert sad story here about negligent parents, and shitty siblings, and you have my life story in a nut shell. When my college boyfriend dumped me, it was just icing on the cake. Five years, and a booming career later I am here to collect my revenge.

That was until a delicious plaything walked into the kink club I frequent, and rocked my typically un-rockable world. Causing me to break the one rule I have lived by since Daniel Alexander walked out of my life, never have sex with the same person twice. Ever.

Warning!!!! Hers contains sexually explicit situations that may be uncomfortable for some. These include FF, FMF, and MFM interactions

Title: Still Human
Author: Kerry Heavens
Release Date: October 22, 2013
Blog Tour Hosted by: Romance Addict Book Blog

Synopsis
Danny and Liv are back...

Danny loves Liv. He knows he loves her more than she loves him because she ran without a word when she saw their future mapped out before her. He knows he will never love anyone like he loved her and this time he doesn’t think he can move on.

Liv loves Danny. She knows she loves him more than he loves her because he broke her heart in the worst possible way, right when things were falling into place. She knows she will never love anyone like she loves him and this time she doesn’t think she can move on.

They needed a second chance because they just weren’t ready for their first, but when events changed everything between them, they discovered they were just human after all. Now Liv and Danny have to find a way to survive being hurt by each other. 

They doubted, they underestimated and they did believe the worst, but only because they were too young the first time and too vulnerable the second time. But now they have changed and if they are not the same, surely things can only turn out differently?

Kindle Crack Book Reviews: Still Human (Just Human #2)
I feel so lucky I didn’t have to wait to read the sequel to Just Human. What a cliffhanger!  Still Human (Just Human #2) picks up right where JH left off with Liv and Danny.  I can’t believe it took me so long to read this series.   I felt so many emotions reading Still Human. Aghhh. Grab a box of tissues and prepared to go into lock down lode mode to read this gut wrenching and beautifully written sequel.  I think Kerry Heavens is such an incredible story teller.  I loved the way this story unfolded through Danny and Liv’s pov.  There were times I was so incredibly frustrated and wanted to smack them both.  Danny is too nice.  Yes, I added him to my book boyfriend list.  Go one click this one (actually both books 1 & 2).  I can guarantee you will want to read book two a millisecond after you finish book one.  4.5 stars.

Excerpt:
Danny’s hand slides over my stomach as his tongue twists around my hard nipple. I’ve never wanted him more. It feels so urgent, like it could be taken away at any second. “oh!’ I moan, startled by the sound. Why does it feel odd to make that sound? 
His fingers slide into my underwear and I groan again, another strangled sound which takes me by surprise. My whole body aches for him, but he misses out the place I want him most. I try to move to guide his fingers, but this just makes him move further away.
He pulls his lips away from my nipple and I gasp. I beg him to take me, but he laughs. His gaze falls over something behind me and I turn to see what has taken his attention from me. But my body lets me down, I can't turn. I can only lie flat and the ache I thought I felt for Danny now feels like a physical pain, restricting my body. A woman appears beside me, it’s her…Brooke.
 “Look at me,” I beg him. “I need you.” Tears sting my eyes.
They both laugh at this. With his hand still circling inside my underwear he begins to kiss her. I watch helplessly, sobbing and pleading with him to love me. I cry out as he finally pulls his hand away from me and turns it to her.

Cover Reveal - More Than Her by Jay McLean


I more than excited to read More Than Her by Jay McLean.  I absolutely LOVED More Than This (Book 1#). It's one of those books that will stick with me forever…just like Colleen Hoover’s Slammed and Hopeless.  So you can imagine that I am more than excited to read book two.  This is a no brainer....one click both.  



Cover reveal of More Than Her by Jay McLean
Blurb:
"For every action there is an equal or opposite reaction. "For every choice you make there are rewards, or there are consequences.It was my choice to walk away the first time.
And my choice to chase her the second.But sometimes you don't get a choice, and all you get are the consequences.

"Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.” Unless that someone is Logan Matthews. Because loving him didn't give me the strength to walk away.It didn't give me the courage to fight for him. And when it was over, all it gave me was a broken heart.

Review of More Than This On Kindle Crack Book Reviews:
More Than This (More, #1)More Than This by Jay McLean
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Wow effing wow!  Where did this book come from?  I read More Than This in one sitting.  I couldn’t put this book down if I tried.

Mikayla has it all.  She has it all….an amazing family, boyfriend and best friend.  Its prom night and she is ready to go make some memories. While at a pre-prom dinner some ass clown spills a drink down the back of her dress to get her attention.  She runs off to the bathroom to dry off and finds walking into the beginning of the worst night of her life.  Mikayla’s world is turned upside down.  Nothing will be the same and life as she knows it is just a memory.  Enter Jake Andrews…a hot Aussie transplant who helps Mikayla try and get her reassemble her shattered existence.

I’m not a “swooner” but Jake effing Andrews has made me into one.  That is all.

I want to remain spoiler free and not ruin this book for you.  Be prepared to go on a tsunami sized emotional roller coaster. I never saw the ending coming…talk about twists and turns! I laughed cried big ugly tears and even wanted to throw my Kindle a few times.  More Than This by Jay McLean is one of those books that will stick with me forever…just like Colleen Hoover’s Slammed and Hopeless.  FYI – the characters are seniors in high school/college freshman – but this not a YA book.  There is no cliffhanger but a HUGE set up for the next book.  FIVE baseball sized stars! Read this now.

Title: Enslaved By the Ocean
Author: Bella Jewel
Expected Release Date: December 9, 2013
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets

Synopsis
Indigo is running, she has no other choice. She's done something bad, and there only way to escape it, is to flee her home, and her country. She sets out on a luxury Yacht, to take her to another country with her best friend Eric. But she runs into a problem. 

The Yacht catches fire. 

She ends up stranded in the ocean, terrified, and scared of the uncertain. Until they show up. The pirates. Terrified, Indigo and Eric have to face the reality that this might be the end for them. These are pirates, they are the criminals of the ocean. What chance have they got of surviving this nightmare?

Then she lays eyes on Hendrix. He's the Captain, he's gorgeous, rugged, and mean. He's planning on keeping her to repay his debt to another man, by selling her. Now Indigo has a crazy ex after her, as well as a pirate she can't seem to get out of her head.

Come on this heart wrenching, dark, angsty and dangerous adventure as two people so opposite, find something so beautiful.

Excerpt
“Please reconsider…” I say, lifting my eyes up to meet his. 
He crosses his broad arms across his chest, and standing like that, he looks incredibly handsome and powerful. God, he’s dangerous, it’s written all over him. From the way his muscles rip and move when he does, to the way his clothes hug his hard, firm body. His hair is loose this afternoon, and it hangs down to the base of his neck in thick waves. He has the kind of hair any woman would envy. The gold hoops in his ear glimmer. How can he be so beautiful, and yet so completely awful?
“All the pleading ain’t goin’ to change my mind. I have debts to pay. Don’t take it personally.”
“Don’t take it personally,” I snarl. “You’re selling me to someone who is likely to use me as a sex slave, but you don’t want me to take it personally?”
He growls. “Listen, girl. I suggest you stop questioning my motives, and start learning to shut your mouth. I am not beyond hangin’ you off the side of the ship and lettin’ the sharks have a go at catchin’ you.”

Cover Reveal & Promo Giveaway - Sex Love Repeat by Alessandra Torre

Sex Love Repeat looks like another dark and smokin red hot book from Alessandra Torre.  I loved The Girl in 6E and I bet SLR will be steamy and a bit twisted as well.  I just added this one to my erotica reading list.  Check out blurb and author giveaway below. Expected publication - December release.

sexloverepeat_ebook



Book Title:  Sex. Love. Repeat.
Author: Alessandra Torre
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: December 2013


Synopsis:
I love two men. I screw two men. I am in a relationship with them both, and they are both aware that there is another. That is all they need to know, that is all I will 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 worked for us, for them, and for me. I never expected it to be a long term situation, I knew there was 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 plotted our demise.

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.

Giveaway & Review: Rock the Beat (Black Falcon #3) by Michelle A. Valentine

Check out Michelle Valentine's latest rock star romance.  My review of Rock the Beat, excerpt and author gift card giveaway.  Rock on!

Rock romance



Rock romance book
Synopsis:
Twenty-year-old Holly Pearson never dreamed that while working at her father’s motocross track she’d run into the walking, talking definition of trouble in a sexy, tattooed package—Trip Douglas, the man sent to evaluate the track for a possible investment opportunity. Holly makes no attempt to hide the fact she despises Trip, but she learns to be civil toward him when he offers to help her land the man of her dreams. 

Trip needs a break from the crazy rock-and-roll lifestyle he’s been living for the past few years. With his Black Falcon band mates settling down with marriage and babies, Trip peruses an investment opportunity in motocross, something he’s always been passionate about. Hiding his celebrity status, Trip infiltrates the new business posing as a dirt bike rider training for the X-Games. The only obstacle is the owner’s daughter, Holly. She’s a real ball bustin' Ice Queen, and she’ll do whatever it takes to make the deal fall through. Trip soon discovers that winning over his new enemy is the key to gaining a partnership in Mountain Time Speed Track. 

Knowing he’s the expert on getting laid, Trip ropes Holly into becoming his ally by helping her score a date with the man she’s crushing on. The problem is, the more time Trip and Holly spend together, the more they uncover the undeniable attraction between them. Soon they both realize that even the best laid plans go to hell when you find you’re falling in love with the enemy.

Review of Rock The Beat (Black Falcon #3) on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Rock the Beat (Black Falcon, #3)Rock the Beat by Michelle A. Valentine
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review.  No cliff hanger. This book can be read as a stand-alone. Spoiler-free review. 4 stars.

Do you want to go on a Trip?  You do…trust me you do!
Michelle Valentine’s latest book Rock the Beat (Black Falcon #3) rocked! Trip Douglas and Holly Pearson are the focus of the latest installment in this popular series.  Trip is the sexy as hell, man whore drummer from Black Falcon.  While investigating a new business venture, Trip meets Holly Pearson. Holly is a “ball bustin ice queen” who happens to be intimately involved in the business Trip is checking out. The unlikely pair has great chemistry except for the fact that Holly hates Trip.

There were times I wanted to beat Trip with his own drums sticks…in a big way.   I was so happy when he finally shed his arrogant rock star persona and melted my heart.  He became a real star by helping Holly in a time of need.  I really can’t say too much since I want to stay spoiler free.

There was a nice mix of angst, drama and steam.  RTB was a nice change of pace from the “insta love” rock romance formula I have read again and again. I enjoyed reading this book... but I felt like it ended so abruptly.  I hope we get more Trip and Holly in the next book.  Bring on book four please.  Thank you Michelle for another great book!

Excerpt:
The thought of throwing Holly down on this counter and fucking her seven different way from Sunday entered my head about a thousand times during our little heated discussion. Girls with attitude are hot and she’s exactly my type—a petite blonde with perfect tits. Even when she was mean as hell to me, all I could think about was kissing that rude mouth of hers. 
See what I mean? I can’t function without sex—it’s like a fucking drug. I’m used to getting it daily, and when you don’t get what you crave, you’ll find your fix wherever you can. Which is why that lay last night, even as lousy as it was, was a blessing. I was at least able to keep why I was actually here on my mind and not be completely distracted by those perky, little tits of Holly’s. 
Going undercover at this dirt bike racing track, looking at it as a potential investment will be good for me. I need to branch out a bit. I’ve gotten bored with all the time off Noel and Riff have need lately. Both of them decided to run off and start families—I get it—but that does nothing for me. I need something else to occupy my time. If I’d had to sit in the house with my brother and work on one more song I swear to God I would’ve gone nuts. Noel and Riff are killing me with their need for all this personal time off. 
What about me? What about my needs?

Book Description: 
Grant Kendal has spent his life hunting the shadows of evil. He can feel it changing him; twisting him into the very thing he despises; a mindless killer. 
Thalia Brezlin is a marked woman, hell-bent on revenge. She is haunted by the nightmares of her past. A past that lies in wait to destroy her. When she washes ashore Grant’s desolate island of exile, beaten, stabbed and clinging to life, their worlds collide.
Follow them across Africa, Madagascar and India into the underworld of human trafficking. Where innocence isn’t lost, it’s stolen.
Passion will rage, rules will be broken, lives will be shattered and the truth will be revealed. Survival is Second Nature.

Excerpt: Grant meets Thalia
He re-covered her bare leg and reached for the top of the sheet. Ignoring her wordless protests, he peeled down the white cotton sheet, sparing only a quick glance at her plump, bare breasts as he examined the cut over her ribs. “The good news is the swelling above your eye has gone down enough so that you no longer look like a science fiction experiment. The bad news is your leg is infected. You need a doctor.”
 “No. No doctors. I can…”
“Yeah, I figured as much.” Grant watched her struggle against her bonds. She froze when he pressed his hand to her bare chest. “I said relax. Do you want me to untie you?”
Her eyes darted up to the cord around her wrists in another wordless plea. “Well, see, I only have one problem with that.” Grant smirked and
pointed to the cut on his cheekbone. “Seems you have one hell of a right hook.”
At least she had the decency to look contrite as she studied his face. He knew it was an act. She would fight balls to the wall as soon as he released her. He counted on it, in fact. “That’s okay, I don’t need an apology. I know you didn’t mean it. You were pretty out of it last night.” He reached for the knot above her head but stilled, searching out her gaze. “You won’t do it again, will you?”
He almost laughed at the puppy dog eyes she gave him as she silently shook her head. Well, here goes the neighborhood. He took a little longer than

Promo Giveaway & Review - After The Storm by M. Stratton

Check out my review of After The Storm (Book #1) by M. Stratton.  This sexy rock and roll stalker drama recently hit ebook shelves. Author giveaway! 



Synopsis & Review
ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review.  No cliff hanger…but series to be continued. Spoiler-free review. 3.5 - 4 stars.

After The Storm by L. Chapman synopsis: 
Alexia “Lexi” Hanson moved across country and rebuilt her life after the attack that could have destroyed her. She enjoys her simple life in the beach cottage. Life was complete in her eyes.

Noah Matthews is Rock & Roll’s hottest star and on top of the world. After years without a break he finds the solitude he craves at his beach house. Enjoying his early morning coffee Noah was surprised to watch his neighbor sneak into his garden and start crawling around.

They never saw what was coming that fateful morning. Someone else was watching them. Someone who thought she belonged to him and would stop at nothing to have her.

Lives are changed forever when they meet amongst the blooms in his garden. Even when things seem darkest, there is always light After the Storm. 

My review:
Lexi & Noah and were likeable characters but I wasn’t entirely feeling their chemistry. This story was different from the usual rock star/innocent girl/stalker drama. ATS had a great plot twist towards the end (80% in on my Kindle) which really took me by surprise.  After the crazy plot twist ATS story picked up a whole lot of steam and suspense. After the crazy I needed to see who was going to make it after the storm.  Lexi’s “Golden Girls”/perverted little old lady friends did manage to get on my nerves after a while.  They were integrated into the story a little too much for me.  I will definitely pick up the next book in this series.  I need to find out what’s in store for bat shit crazy Jeremy. 3.5 stars.

What the Heart Takes by Kelli McCracken- Giveaway

I cant wait to read What The Heart Takes Soulmate Series #3 by Kelli McCrackenI loved the first two books in this incredible paranormal rock star romance series. Check out the synopsis, excerpt and author giveaway!  Enjoy.


Title: What the Heart Takes: Soulmate Series #3
Author: Kelli McCracken
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Length: Novel
Tentative Release Date: December 2013

Compelled by fate, will he sacrifice everything to save her?

Dylan McBride has never liked hiding—from his fans, the press, or his father. He’s left with no other choice after his father threatens Heaven’s life. Protecting his wife and unborn child is the only thing that matters. He’d do anything to save them. Even tolerate a connection she shares with her Keeper, the man sworn to save her life. The man he used to call his friend.

Layne’s struggling with his pyrokinetic abilities, as well as accepting his role as Heaven’s Keeper. As if kissing her didn’t make things awkward enough, he learns that their connection is more complicated than he ever imagined. So complicated, it affects not only his mind, but also his soul.

Though he’s taken to his Keeper duties, Heaven senses a battle between Layne’s heart and soul. A battle that’s preventing him from accessing his abilities. There’s only one sure way to help him. Their friendship must deepen. But nothing’s ever easy, and she soon discovers there’s a thin line between love, hate, and What the Heart Takes.

Teaser:
“I’m sorry,” he sighed, leaning his head against hers. “I don’t want to feel like this. I sure as hell don’t like you feeling this with me, but I—”
“Don’t,” she whispered, pressing her finger to his lips. “Don’t ever apologize for loving me or for any other emotion that stems from that. I would feel the same as you, if the roles were reversed.”
“No you wouldn’t, because you’re pure of heart. You love unconditionally. I’m just a jealous jerk.”
“You’re not a jealous jerk. You’re just a man, trying to protect what he loves.” He tried to look away, but she pressed her hands to his face, holding it in place. “Nothing will ever change the way I feel about you. Even if Layne was head-over-heels for me, he isn’t you. My connection with him is fueling his emotions. He’ll work through them.”
His eyes wavered with emotion, as did their bond. “I know you love me. I’ve never questioned that, except for Aruba, and that was because of my stubbornness. I’ve come close to losing you twice because of it. I don’t want it to happen again.”
“I’m not going anywhere.” She grabbed his hand, placing it against her stomach. “We’re bound, Dylan. In heart, in soul, in every breath we take. I will always be yours.”
His lips pressed together as he feigned a smile. “Deep down, I know you’re right. I shouldn’t let it bother me, but I can’t help it. Before you came into my life, he was my closest friend. We’ve been through a lot.”
“And I complicated that.” Her eyes fell to the floor, but only for a moment. His fingers slid under her chin as he nudged it upward.
“No, you completed me. You gave me the one thing I’ve searched for my entire life…you.”


About the Author:
When Kelli McCracken’s not writing, she’s usually looking for duct tape for her inner critic’s mouth. Or begging her characters to let her sleep. When procrastination strikes, you can find her rocking out with an air guitar or hanging out on Facebook.

“Forrest Gump's momma said it best. Life is like a box of chocolates. Mine is full of nuts. My motto: Sanity is optional, but not a requirement. My characters love waking me up in the middle of the night for long talks. They have no sense of time.”
