Blurb
Abducted
at eighteen. Held captive for 15 months.
It reads
like one of those headlines. And yes, I did it. I stole her. Nora, with her
long dark hair and silky skin. She’s my weakness, my obsession.
I’m not a
good man. I never pretended to be one. She can love me, but she can’t change
me.
I can,
however, change her.
My name is
Julian Esguerra, and Nora is mine to keep.
***Keep
Me is the sequel to Twist Me, told from Nora &
Julian’s POV.***
Excerpt
Julian's POV
“Are you
all right?” There is a concerned expression on Nora’s face as she reaches up to
touch the area above my left ear. Her slender fingers are gentle on my scalp. “Does
it still hurt?”
Her touch
sends pleasure streaking down my spine. I want this from her. I want her to
care about my well-being. I want her to love me even though I stole her
freedom—even though, by all rights, she should hate me.
I have no
illusions about myself. I’m one of those men they show on the news—the ones
that everyone fears and despises. I took a young woman because I wanted her and
for no other reason.
I took her
and I made her mine.
I make no
excuses for my actions. I feel no guilt either. I wanted Nora, and now she’s
here with me, looking at me like I’m the most important person in her world.
And I am.
I am exactly what she needs now . . . what she craves. I will
give her everything, and I will take everything from her in return. Her body,
her mind, her devotion—I want it all. I want her pain and her pleasure, her
fear and her joy.
I want to
be her entire life.
“No, it’s
fine,” I say in response to her earlier question. “It’s almost healed.”
She pulls
her fingers away, and I catch her hand, not ready to forego the pleasure of her
touch. Her hand is slim and delicate in my grasp, her skin soft and warm. She
tries to tug it away reflexively, but I don’t let her, my fingers tightening
around her small palm. Her strength is insignificant compared to mine; she
can’t make me release her unless I chose to let her go.
She
doesn’t really want me to let her go, anyway. I can feel the excitement rising
within her, and my body hardens, a dark hunger awakening within me again.
Reaching across the table, I slowly and purposefully unbuckle her safety belt.
Then I
stand up, still holding her hand, and lead her to the bedroom at the back of
the airplane.

Beloved by Corinne Michaels is LIVE
I just added this Navy SEAL love story to my reading list. Early reviews of Beloved by Corinne Michaels have been amazing. I'm calling dibs on Jackson Cole. I think he might be my next book boyfriend.
Author: Corinne Michaels
Release Date: May 28, 2014
Synopsis:
Not enough.
Catherine Pope has never been enough. Every man she has ever loved abandoned her—from her father to her fiancĂ©. She finally accepted the fact she would never be enough to hold any man’s heart and soul.
Then Catherine met Jackson Cole.
When her world literally collided with the sexy former Navy SEAL, everything she always believed is turned upside down and left scattered. He made her feel alive and desirable, consumed her with fierceness and loyalty—which completely unnerved her. Jackson got her in a way no one ever had, giving him the power to destroy her.
If she breaks down and gives him what’s left of her battered heart—will he protect it? Or will Catherine become an irrelevant part of yet another man’s life?
Will she get the one thing that has always evaded her – to finally be someone’s beloved

Check out my 5-Star review of Come To Me Quietly.
Come to Me Quietly by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
ARC kindly provided in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler- free review. 5+ stars!
There aren't many writers like A.L Jackson. Only a handful of books could consume my heart and soul, and Come To Me Quietly is one of them. If this book isn't on your list, add it or buy it now.
My spoiler-free mini review/synopsis: Aly has been in love with her brother’s best friend, Jared, since they were kids. After a devastating incident for which Jared blames himself…he goes into self-destruct mode. Jared numbs his painful memories with booze and drugs…and creates a vendetta against his soul. Fast-forward years later…Jared crosses paths with Aly and her brother and from there, Aly and Jared slowly build their relationship. He doesn’t feel worthy of her love…he is broken and stuck in this self-induced emotional purgatory. Aly is Jared’s light in all of his darkness. Will he let her in and allow himself to love and be loved again?
This book is “unputabledownable”. CTMQ is raw and loaded with angst, turmoil, love and is absolutely touching. A.L. Jackson made my heart melt from the firestorm of emotion she created on each and every page of this book. There isn’t a full blown cliff hanger, but loose ends that will likely be tied up in book two Come To Me Softly. A.L. Jackson is on my auto download list and will read ANYTHING this woman writes. Come To Me Quietly is absolute Kindle Crack.
This review appears on www.kindlecrack.net, www.facebook.com/Kindlecrack, Goodreads, Amazon and Twitter.

New From Sylvain Reynard - Cover Reveal for The Raven
Check out The Raven by Sylvain Reynard. I just added this one to my
reading list.
Title: The Raven
Author: Sylvain Reynard
Release Date: Early 2015
Blurb:
From the New York Times bestselling author of the Gabriel Series comes a dark, sensual tale of romance in a city shrouded in mystery…
Raven Wood spends her days at Florence’s Uffizi Gallery restoring fine works of Renaissance art. But an innocent walk home after an evening with friends changes her life forever. When she intervenes in the senseless beating of a homeless man, his attackers turn on her, dragging her into an alley. Raven is only semi-conscious when their assault is interrupted by a cacophony of growls followed by her attacker’s screams. Mercifully, she blacks out, but not before catching a glimpse of a shadowy figure who whispers to her…Cassita vulneratus.
When Raven awakes, she is inexplicably changed. She returns to the Uffizi, but no one recognizes her and more disturbingly, she discovers that she’s been absent an entire week. With no recollection of the events leading up to her disappearance, Raven also learns that her absence coincides with one of the largest robberies in Uffizi history – the theft of a set of priceless Botticelli illustrations. When the baffled police force identifies her as its prime suspect, Raven is desperate to clear her name. She seeks out one of Florence’s wealthiest and elusive men in an attempt to uncover the truth about her disappearance. Their encounter leads Raven to a dark underworld whose inhabitants kill to keep their secrets…
About the Author
I'm interested in the way literature can help us explore aspects of the human condition - particularly suffering, sex, love, faith, and redemption. My favourite stories are those in which a character takes a journey, either a physical journey to a new and exciting place, or a personal journey in which he or she learns something about himself/herself.
I'm also interested in how aesthetic elements such as art, architecture, and music can be used to tell a story or to illuminate the traits of a particular character. In my writing, I combine all of these elements with the themes of redemption, forgiveness, and the transformative power of goodness.
I try to use my platform as an author to raise awareness about the following charities: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation, WorldVision, Alex's Lemonade Stand, and Covenant House. For more information, see my Twitter account.

groups are listed below.

Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Najla Qamber
He gave them a choice.
He made her promise two years.
She should have known there was a catch.
“No need to be scared, Mademoiselle,” the woman said. Her thick, French accent
made Amara feel panicky.
Amara focused on breathing, swallowed back her fear, and asked the only
question she could think of. “Why now?”
The woman shook her head, smiling. It was just as warm as it was vile,
and it made Amara’s skin crawl. “My name is Vivienne LaRue, and I am here to
offer you a job. You’ll make a lot of money,” she said, as her eyes darted around
the restaurant with distaste. “A lot more than you’re making here.”
Amara licked her lips. “And if I don’t want another job?”
Vivienne raised her penciled, thin eyebrows and twisted her lips. “You
made a deal once, as I’m sure you remember.”
“I do, but it’s been…”
“Five years.”
“Right. Five years.”
“Your parents still live in the same house, correct? Drive the nice
cars…maybe your mother doesn’t frequent shops as much, but still has her
things. She got her treatment, her medical bills paid. Who do you think made that
possible?”
Amara’s throat tightened as she listened to Vivienne. She knew, of course,
that she was telling the truth. She just hoped there was something she could do
to avoid this situation. When nothing dawned on her, she sagged into the seat
behind her.
“Why now?” she asked again.
“Why not?”
“I’ve been saving money.”
“Not enough.”
“How do you know?” Amara asked defiantly.
Vivienne laughed lightly and took out one sheet of paper from her
briefcase. She placed it in the center of the table, facing Amara.
