Title:  Wild Chase, Book #1 in the Vengeful Honor Series
Author:  L.A. Bressett
Release Date:  September 14, 2013
Genre:  Contemporary Romance

Synopsis:
"Music is a Moral Law, It Gives Soul to the Universe"- Plato

Sometimes it doesn't matter how long you know a person. The effect they can have on you can happen after four seconds or four years.

In Chase Taylor's case - it's both.

Avery McGuire doesn't just flip on a light inside of her - he sets a blaze to everything holding her back. After only a week together, he has to leave, but he strikes a match before walking away that won't easily burn out.

Four years later, Chase finds herself face to face with the boy -now rock star - who changed everything. The same one she still can't admit to falling head over heels in love with. She has no idea that her world is about to get rocked, in more ways than one.

Wild Chase by L.A. Bressett
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review.  No cliff hanger. Spoiler-free review. 4 stars.

One night changes everything.

Chase goes out one night and meets a hot guy in a band, loses the "big V" and decides to move out of her parent’s prison-like home. Fast forward four years later Chase is living her life on her terms…but can’t forget Avery or the night they shared. She still stuck on the man that made her want more from life.  There is still a huge hole in her heart from never seeing Avery again...that is in person. His face is on every magazine cover and it looks like it has moved on and forgot about her. A twist of fate brings them together - but will he remember that passionate night and the things they promised each other?

This is one hell of a rock and roll fairy tale that had me hooked from page one. I love a good second chance romance and L.A. Bressett’s debut novel... was a fun read. I'm looking forward to reading book two...where I hope Chase’s pseudo ex gets his HEA (I felt bad for him getting screwed over).  When is book two out?!

Four Rock Stars! Great debut book.

Review to follow closer to blog tour. 


A few minutes later, my best friend had me laughing and spinning around with her, my jitters leaving me with every swing of the hips. I closed my eyes and turned to bump against her again; however, the deep "oomph" that followed was most definitely not Victoria's.
My horrified eyes flew open and found themselves eye level with a red guitar pick attached to a sliver chain. The chain almost distracted me from the black shirt stretched tightly across a broad chest lying beneath it. Almost. My gaze wandered up almost a foot above my five and a half foot frame, and landed on the most gorgeous face I had ever seen. Like a domino effect, my eyes fell from one impressive feature to another. Charcoal gray eyes stared down into my light blue ones, smiling just as much as the full lips on his face. The silver lip ring on his bottom lip was absolutely hotter than the sun. In the dim bar lighting, I noticed script writing tattooed across his forearm, and even one peeking out above the collar of his shirt. He pushed his stylishly messed up, shaggy blonde hair out of his face, and I watched as his eyes slowly roamed up and down my body.
Holy crap.

Title: Last Shadow

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.

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.

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 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.

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.




Book Title:  Sex. Love. Repeat.
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.

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 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!

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?

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
