Title: Sex, Love, Repeat
Pub Date: Nov 30, 2013
Length: 55,000 words – 212 pages

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.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.

New Book Release - Reviving Izabel by J.A. Redmerski

Killing Sarai (Book #1) by J.A. Redmerski was a great dark read...and I know Reviving Izabel (Book #2) is going to be a page turner.  I love JRed and cant wait to one-click her new book that hit ebook shelves today! Check out the synopsis, except and giveaway below.  

Killing Sarai (Book #1) is on sale for .99 cents in honor of Reviving Izabel's release! 

  



Killing Sarai: Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Kobo

Determined to live a dark life in the company of the assassin who freed her from bondage, Sarai sets out on her own to settle a score with an evil sadist. Unskilled and untrained in the art of killing, the events that unfold leave her hanging precariously on the edge of death when nothing goes as planned.

Sarai’s reckless choices send her on a path she knows she can never turn back from and so she presents Victor with an ultimatum: help her become more like him and give her a fighting chance, or she’ll do it alone no matter the consequences. Knowing that Sarai cannot become what she wants to be overnight, Victor begins to train her and inevitably their complicated relationship heats up.

As Arthur Hamburg’s right-hand man, Willem Stephens, closes in on his crusade to destroy Sarai, she is left with the crushing realization that she may have bitten off more than she can chew. But Sarai, taking on the new and improved role of Izabel Seyfried, still has a set of deadly skills of her own that will prove to be all she needs to secure her place beside Victor.

But there is one test that Izabel must face that has the potential to destroy everything she is working so hard to achieve. One final test that will not only make her question her decision to want this dangerous life, but will make her question everything she has come to trust about Victor Faust.



EXCERPT – REVIVING IZABEL (In the Company of Killers #2)
Victor reaches up and touches my wet hair. The gesture causes my heart to race.
“You have a good sense of people, Sarai,” he says as his hand moves to my chin. “You’re right about Fredrik…,” the pad of his thumb brushes my bottom lip. A shiver races between my legs. “He is…shall I say…unhinged in a sense.”
My breathing picks up and I feel my lashes sweep my face when Victor’s lips fall upon mine.
“Unhinged in what way,” I ask breathily when he pulls back. With my eyes closed, I sense his scanning the curvature of my face and my lips, and I feel the breath emitting softly from his nostrils onto my face.
Every miniscule hair stands on end when his other hand pushes up my thigh and finds my naked waist underneath the shirt. His long fingers dance against the flesh of my hipbone and then rests there.
I open my eyes to see him staring back into mine.
“Is something wrong?” he asks and his mouth sweeps mine again.
“No, I…I just didn’t expect this.”
“Expect what?” I feel his fingers fit behind the elastic of my panties.
My head is swimming, my stomach a fluttering, nervous ball of muscle. “This,” I answer, my eyes opening and closing. “You’re different,” I add softly.
“That’s your fault,” he says and then his lips devour mine.
He pushes my body back against the couch pillows and falls between my legs.

His cell phone buzzes around on the coffee table and I’m reminded just how human I really am when I curse Fredrik for ruining this moment even if it’s to let me know that Dina is safe.

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.

You can buy this book or any of the 12 NA’s of Christmas titles on Amazon.

SYNOPSIS: 
Emma knows better than most that life can change from one second to the next. Mason knows that guilt can make you change so much, that you don't even recognize yourself in the mirror. When they found each other, they knew that life had given them a second chance.
But can one night, one second, one misunderstanding change everything? 

A life together that saved them will become a life they think is lost.

EXCERPT
"I love how you're so trusting with me," he murmured and leaned in. His lips brushed my cheekbone as he said, "I used to hate it." He sighed, long and meaningful and sexy. "I used to think it was a bad thing to give me so much, but now, when you close your eyes and just hang on for the ride, for whatever I have planned for you?" He took my earlobe between his lips and I gripped him tighter. "That makes me absolutely burn up when you do that."
I smiled and shivered. "My eyes are closed right now, Mason," I lied.

"What do you want me to do?" he asked. The back of the couch hit my butt. I hadn't even realized we'd been moving. "What do you want to trust me with tonight?"

You can buy this book or any of the 12 NA’s of Christmas titles on Amazon.

Blog Tour Promo Giveaway for Beautiful Failure by Mariah Cole

I just added Beautiful Failure by Mariah Cole to my reading list.  Check out the synopsis and author giveaway.  I love the author's play list...


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...
