Behind His Eyes (Consequences #4) by Aleatha Romig

The Consequences Series by Aleatha Romig is total Kindle Crack.  This is what I will be reading on January 14, 2014.  Check out the synopsis and cover for the fourth book in the series below.  

Dark Romance Books


Synopsis:
BEHIND HIS EYES – CONSEQUENCES is a reading companion, by New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig, recommended to be read after completing all of the CONSEQUENCES SERIES: Consequences, Truth, and Convicted. It is not a standalone book and should not be read as such. This companion was written to explore the thoughts and motivations of Anthony Rawlings, the man behind the consequences. It was not intended as a total rewrite of Consequences, but meant to enhance the reader’s understanding. BHE- Consequences contains significant scenes from the novel Consequences, as experienced from Anthony’s point of view. It also contains never before read, behind the scenes information, as well as, a glossary of the characters and a timeline devoted to the events within Consequences. BEHIND HIS EYES CONSEQUENCES is a dark journey into the mind of the man who believes that he controls everything and controls nothing.

Because there is more to learn about a man who:

Once upon a time, signed a napkin that he knew was a contract. As an esteemed businessman, he forgot one very important rule—he forgot to read the fine print. It wasn’t an acquisition to own another person as he’d previously assumed. It was an agreement to acquire a soul.
—Aleatha Romig CONVICTED

It was a long and painful acquisition—especially from Behind His Eyes!

EXCERPT:
When I stepped into the living room, my jaw dropped at the sight of him naked.

“Oh, I’m sorry!” I quickly turned away but not before the sight of him was seared

into my memory. Images of carved muscles and exotic tattoos danced across my

mind.

“Wow, that was quick. I thought you’d be in there longer.” I heard him laugh and
the subsequent thud of his drenched sweats being thrown into a corner hamper.
“You can turn around. I’m not naked, ya know. Unless you consider being shirtless
as naked.”

I turned around and noticed he had a white towel around his waist. His torso was
still fully bare though. Tattoos ran along the side of his chest and extended down
his arm. They were mostly a mix of tribal designs but one tattoo stood out for me.
A picture of a large hammer was boldly etched on his upper arm. An unwelcome
desire flittered in my stomach as I imagined running my fingertips over the inked
lines.
I wasn’t opposed to seeing him shirtless at all. Not. At. All.
I forced myself to make eye contact with him, but was surprised to find him not
doing the same. His eyes were wide, and they were roaming down and up my
freshly showered body.

When his eyes finally met mine, his lips curved wickedly. “You clean up well.”
My cheeks flushed. “Thanks,” I replied, slightly uncomfortable. “I feel a lot better
without all that lake gunk on me. I really appreciate the clothes, although they
might be a little big for me.” I gestured to the jeans that were threatening to fall
down my hips.

He looked me over again, dark eyes subtly lingering at certain parts: thighs, chest,
lips. “No, you look good—real good.” His hand gestured to the couch. “Have a
seat. I’ll get you some warm tea and a belt. I can get you back to your place after I
wash up.”
He grabbed my wet clothes from me and set them down on the kitchen counter
while I took a seat on his couch. I thought it’d be a relief to sit down and relax

“You need me like I need you. I get it,” she murmured.
I ducked and nuzzled her throat, teeth aching to break her skin and lick. “And why is that?” My hand reached to cup her neck, not squeezing—just a gentle coax, reminding her she was in my power. Her mouth opened and her body melted against mine. “Because…”
My body burned for her; my ears strained for her answer. “Because…” I licked her lips, begging her to finish her sentence. I had to hear why she cared. It meant the world to me.
I would never have cared about another person loving me before. Now, I needed it more than anything. Tess kissed me back, whispering into my mouth. “Because you’re my monster in the dark, and I’m yours.”

Blog Tour Review , Excerpt and Giveaway - Falling (Fading #2) by E.K. Blair

Are you looking for some solid emotional Kindle Crack that will pull on your hearts strings and not let go?  Here it is... Falling (Fading #2) and Fading (Book #1) are not to be missed. Check out this series



When Ryan meets Candace Parker, all of his walls slowly begin to crumble. Not sure of the truth of who she is, he feels his mind is playing tricks on him. Unable to force out the thoughts that consume him, Ryan is haunted by visions that torment him every time he looks at her. He finds himself swallowed by guilt and blame, but he’s unwilling to turn his back on the one person that could possibly save him.

You’ve heard Candace’s story in Fading, now hear Ryan’s.

Review of Falling (Fading #2) - Kindle Crack Book Reviews
Falling (Fading, #2)Falling by E.K. Blair
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler free.  4.50 - 5 stars.

Falling (Fading #2) by E.K. Blair is told from Ryan’s POV.  Essentially it’s the same story retold through Ryan's POV.  This book does not feel rehashed since there is new material added and it’s from a diff POV.  In Falling, we get to understand why Ryan is the way he is. This story feels fresh since Ryan’s POV added so much depth to this heartbreaking love story.  I loved and getting in Ryan’s head and understanding why he closed himself off emotionally – it was key for me.  Ryan created an emotional band aid with sex and booze to numb his feelings associated with his father and his painful home life.  I recommend reading Fading(Book #1) before reading book two.  Once again E.K. Blair pulled on my heartstrings with Ryan and Candace and their emotional journey.  Her writing and character development are simply amazing.  4.50 - 5 stars.  I would recommend reading this series if you are in the mood for some solid emotional Kindle Crack!

EXCERPT:
I drop my head in my hands and let it out. It’s a haze of unrecognizable emotions beating through me. To look past this and let her continue to sit and do nothing is something that I don’t think I’m capable of. But Jase is right. My girl is so damn fragile even though she’s so damn strong. It’s a paradox that’s hard to deal with. She’s gonna break one way or another.
Irritation boils inside, and the longer I sit here it starts to eat away at me until it takes over and I stand up, kicking over the stool, screaming, and smashing my glass against the brick wall behind the bar followed next by the bottle. The blast of glass shattering and sprinkling to the floor is all I hear through the ringing in my head. I grab my keys, leaving the mess, and head to my jeep. 
I drive. Making my way back to my loft and upstairs to find Candace standing in my closet, slipping on a sweater.
“Why didn’t you do anything?” I ask, unable to control my frustration.
She turns to look at me, confused, when she asks, “What are you talking about?”
“Don’t make me say it.”
“Ryan, please. Don’t,” she says and then walks past me to sit on the edge of the bed.
“Who is he?” I press, emotions getting the best of me.
She keeps her chin tucked down. Avoiding. 
“Candace, tell me his fuckin’ name!”

Teaser
His arm brushed across my chest. Despite the chunky wool sweater I wore, I felt it as clearly as if I’d been naked. Sparks raced across my body and landed straight between my thighs and all I could think about was his strong arms lifting me up on the counter and taking me. Fucking me like he meant it. Fucking me like he was starved for my body.
My breath ratcheted up a notch and I pressed my thighs together, shifting back and forth, trying to get my mind off the sexy man infiltrating my space.
“Okay there, Sugar?” his breath whispered across my neck as he stood behind me. When had he gotten there? Where had I been?
Lost in my fantasy of him taking me in the kitchen, that’s where.
“Fine,” I croaked.

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.
