DAZED SYNOPSIS:
Jagger Kennedy never went looking for fame, he just fell into it. After scoring a major modeling contract, his clean-cut good looks and charm catapulted his career. But when his actress girlfriend breaks his heart, he moves to L.A. to try his hand at acting. He’s not looking for love—he just needs to make a change.

Aerie Daniels is a woman in control … until she meets Jagger. Her surprising connection with him leaves her dazed and it’s unlike anything she’s ever felt. But just when she lets her walls fall, she makes a startling discovery about Jagger that breaks her fragile heart into a million pieces.

To keep from losing the woman who’s changing his world, Jagger is willing to give up anything—including his career. But even that might not be enough to regain Aerie’s shattered trust…


Excerpt:  Aerie Daniels 
There’s something deliciously perverse about staring through the clear glass. All of 

my senses engage as I wait in line—the fragrance that fills the air as the fire crackles 

beneath the foil wrapped treats wafts under my nose, the beauty in each and every small 

package as they line the shelves with tiny dots and colored sprinkles mesmerizes me, the 

sound made as the silver sheet is peeled

Check out my review and author giveaway of In The Firelight by Sibylla Matilde.  Thanks for fogging up my Kindle screen with this steamy book Sibylla (fanning self).


Title: In the Firelight

Author: Sibylla Matilde

Date of publication: December 19, 2013




Synopsis

She found him on a snowy night. He sparked her desires and inflamed her dreams.

Independent and feisty, Shea Madison has a tussle on her hands. Living in and loving her quiet little

corner of Montana, she’s fiercely determined to fight a real estate developer trying to turn her quaint

little mountain town into a touristy ski resort. So, when an outsider shows up to study the effects on

the area, she instantly attempts to sway his impression… even if it means a little harmless flirting

with the enticing visitor.

Rhys Weland’s charade has one purpose—to bring the locals around to the idea of the resort,

primarily the ringleader, Ms. Shea Madison. Embroiled in his deception, he’s stunned by the feelings

she draws from deep inside him. Her integrity and sincerity quickly have him second-guessing his

twisted morals. Her spirit arouses his soul. Her sensuality steals his breath.

In the dark of the night, in the warmth of the fire, the passion smoldering between them combusts.

But just when it all seems to make sense, one small stubborn mistake shreds the fragile bond

between them. Will an impetuous act reignite their flame, or will their love vanish like sparks in the

air?

Kindle Crack Book Reviews- A Review of In The Firelight
In the Firelight by Sibylla Matilde
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler- free review.  Stand alone. HEA. 4 – 4.25 stars.

Rhys is slick and sexy player type who is sent on a mission to Montana by his boss.  His boss wants him to use some of his infamous penis persuasion tactics to talk Shea into giving up her land. Shea is a fiercely independent loner who lives on a huge piece of property that he wants to develop into a ski resort. Rhys expected her to be an ogre mountain lumber jack type… and not the beautiful woman that he can’t get out of his mind. They have amazing chemistry and end up steaming up every cold spot in Shea’s sleepy Montana town, store, bedroom etc.  Rhys’ conscious starts to get the best of him.  He also begins to feel things he has never felt before for any woman.  Rhys also starts to discover himself! (That's a lot of starts:) Will he chose they sexy mountain babe with a potty mouth or go for the fat paycheck and let his boss use his as a man whore pawn and help him get the land?

In the Firelight is a fast and steamy read.  At times I found the sex scenes a little repetitious and would have liked a little more angst. I loved Shea!  It’s rare to find a solid book with a smart, independent/non doormat heroine! Over all this is a steamy, sexy fun and fast read.  It’s my second Sibylla Matilde M book and definitely not my last!  Excellent epilogue.



4-4.25 stars! Review to follow with tour. Another great book from SM.

About Sibylla Matilde
Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana exploring the dusty Old West gold country on

the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse beginning in 1st grade & had the same teacher until she

changed schools after 7th. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of

Jude Deveraux & Lisa Kleypas. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet

glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She is a true romantic & always has stories floating around in her head,

living in a fantasyland until she writes them down to free them.

Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-loving mother, Sibylla was raised to treasure music

that digs deep into the psyche, drawing out elation, sorrow, grief, desire. The soundtrack to her life includes many

genres spanning centuries. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually... but, really, how

can you NOT be crazy about this guy!? Jared Leto. Shhh. ) & pimps them out to all her friends through Spotify. She

also delights in Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater & hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana

Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte.

Sibylla lives with her husband and hero who saved her from her own calamitous, young-adult self. He makes her

laugh daily, even when things are tough. He's proved to her that love really can heal a shattered soul. In 18 years, they

have never had a fight, although argue regularly with their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their

father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason

she is a writer & not a stand-up comedian). They live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait…
teenagers & little yap-dogs? OK, maybe not so quiet.

Title: Raw
Author: Belle Aurora
Genre: New Adult Dark Romance
Release Date: January 3, 2014
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18468559-raw?ac=1
Hosted by: Love Between the Sheets Promotions

Synopsis

Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am. Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street. Best decision I ever made. Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job. My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up
unloved. But the saying is true. The world makes way for those who know where they are going. That’s me. I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace.
But then there’s him. I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me.
He makes me feel.
It’s unconventional.
But it’s real.
I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker.
So am I.
This isn’t a story.
This is my life.

Kindle Crack Book Reviews Spoiler Free Thoughts:
Raw by Belle Aurora
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

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

How do you fall in love with your stalker?    If I had a stalker…  I would be calling 911. Alexa (Lexi) Ballentine…. not so much.  Twitch (Lexi’s stalker) is like a snot at the end of her finger that she just can’t shake off.

My spoiler free take: Belle Aurora’s synopsis of Raw is dead on -- this is a love story gone wrong.  Twitch and Lexi’s story is raw, dark and bit demented like Twitch. This is definitely not a hearts and flowers type of book that makes you think of love songs.  If you are looking for a sweet romance…this is not it.

Lexi and Twitch’s world’s collide and they finally meet.  Lexi is a social worker who wants to help heal her hot stalker from his tortured past.  She doesn’t know much about the moody tattooed control freak…but she knows his past wasn’t pretty.  The “13” tat on his face is a dead giveaway.   Lexi slowly extracts little nuggets of information about his twisted past.  What Lexi doesn’t know is Twitch is hell bent on hurting her…controlling her… and making sure she never forgets him again.

At times I thought that certain aspects of their relationship didn’t carry over from the beginning to the end of the story.  I was wrong…it all made sense. Twitch’s ever changing behavior becomes crystal clear towards the end.  Belle did a fantastic job unraveling this story from alternating POV.   I have to give her huge props for her character development.  Holy hell the stuff in Twitch’s head alone could be its own novella (hint hint).  There were a few times that I wanted to reach in my Kindle and smack Lexi for some of her baddddd judgment calls.    I love that Belle’s writing got under my skin.  By the way Willing Captive fans will love Nox’s storyline integration. BOOM…the end.  The ending is insane!!!  There has to be a Raw (Book #2). That’s all I’m going to say because I am not going to give this crazy story away.  One-click this one.  More Aussie Kindle Crack!

Teaser
Staring down at my chest, she takes a step closer to me and whispers miserably, “I’m
here to let Brad fuck me.” My cheek ticks and head implodes. She steps closer to me
to add, “He’s going to fuck me. Fuck me til I forget you. Til I forget I ever met you.
He’s helping me drown you out and I like when I’m not thinkin’ about you.”
She looks into my eyes and repeats on a whisper, “You’re poison.”
