Author: Alyssa Rae Ryann
Release Date: June 2, 2014
Rating: 4 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes

Alyssa Rae Ryann stepped up her game with Resisting Ryann (Book #2). This fast paced story picks up picks up right where book one left off. Reese is heartbroken and still confused over Luke leaving her. In the meantime, Reese starts to let two men into her life -- her dad and Sean, the sexy neighbor. Luke is going through hell having to leave Reese and at the same time, working in his father's crime organization. The secrets and lies are piling up.

Things get complicated when Luke pops into her life and gives her hope that he will be back again. He begs her to trust him. How long will hope last when she thinks he's a cheater and another man is waiting to sweep her off her feet? Resisting Ryann is filled with some crazy interconnected elements amongst the different characters. This latest installment exceeded my expectations. It really had a great blend of angst, suspense, drama, twists and turns making this book such a page-turner. This book is an absolute must read for anyone that read Raising Ryann. Yes...there is a cliffhanger, and I'm seriously looking forward to reading book three. Please don't make us wait too long.

Author: Belle Aurora
Release Date: June 2, 2014
Genre: Dark, New Adult


Blurb
My name is Catarina.
Or, that’s who I was christened to be, anyways.
I live in a convent. I am a nun in training. A postulant.
I am eighteen years old.

I am a predator.
No one is safe from me.

I am protected.
No one can get to me.

By day one way, by night another. They call on me.

My name is Catarina.
Codename: Night Fury.

No one is safe from me.

I will come for you. 
Teaser
"I trail her down the dark, dimly-lit hall. The sounds of our footsteps echo through the narrow space.
I’m walking towards my destiny.
How poetic.
We reach the end of the hall. Frankie clicks in her keypad code. More humming and buzzing, the steel door clicks opens and finally – finally – I’m home.
I take the first step towards the rest of my life. And I do it wearing a shit-eating grin.
This is exciting.
I’m excited.
My life will be thrown one-hundred-and-eighty degrees. From boring to extraordinary.
I can’t wait.
“Welcome back to Mirage.” Frankie utters as she starts her descent down the stairs to the ground floor."

 Night Fury: First Act (Night Fury, #1)Night Fury: First Act by Belle Aurora
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Title: Night Fury: First Act (Night Fury #1)
Author: Belle Aurora
Release Date: June 2, 2014
Genre: Dark, New Adult
Series: Yes
Rating: 5+ stars
Cliffhanger: Yes…but don’t let it scare you away from reading this book.

Holy Hell…where do I start so I can remain spoiler free? Ok…here it goes…

Cat (Catarina) is a horny NIT (Nun In Training).

Her surrogate father isn’t really a “Father”.

Her best friend Frankie is a fellow Sister (who is banging the Father at the church).

Her second best friend is a 24-inch Katana sword.

Cat is a trained assassin...who likes to cook, garden, pray and prey on her targets.  Her targets are the dregs of society – child molesters and monsters.  They don’t stand a chance against Cat, aka Night Fury.

Nothing appears as it seems.

That’s all you are going to get from me.  I promised a spoiler free review and you need to experience this book on your own.  This short, twisted story reads like a wicked combination of the movie Point of No Return movie and the hit TV show Blacklist -- on speed.  I’m saying my prayers...please let Book 2/Act 2 come fast. Thanks for the Kindle Crack Belle Rose Aurora!

COVER REVEAL - For Fallon by Soraya Naomi

I have a feeling this book is going one heck of a steamy rollercoaster romance thriller.  Read the synopsis and excerpt and see for yourself.  I just added For Fallon by Soraya Naomi to my reading list, and I think you should too.


Title: For Fallon
Author: Soraya Nami
Expected Release Date: July 26, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance Thriller
Goodreads Link - https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21941909-for-fallon?from_search=true

SYNOPSIS:
One night was all it took. One night to fall for him.
When twenty-eight year old Fallon Michaels meets Luca DeMiliano, she’s infatuated by this man. Love cannot be contained and she falls for him. But as time progresses doubt creeps into her mind as to what kind of man he is. Her first mistake was she chose to believe him, over and over again.
One night to fall for her.
Twenty-nine year old Luca DeMiliano  is taken by surprise for the first time in years when he meets Fallon. Being with her forces him to hide a huge part of himself.
He could’ve stayed away.
He should’ve stayed away.
Now she’s in, and once in you’ll never be completely safe. Life will forever change when affiliated with Luca DeMiliano.

About the Author:
Soraya Naomi resides in Europe with her entrepreneur fiancé. She attended university in The Netherlands.

 Although she reads many genres, she favors intense, dark, seductive, and provocative novels where the male character loves fiercely without remorse or boundaries. 

 She has a passionate obsession for the written word and indulges in chocolate pastries much too often. 
There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that.
Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book. 

― Stephen King

 EXCERPT: Fallon’s point of view
He kisses me hard and hungry and spins me facing away from him. Luca pushes me against the glass window and pins my hands above my head.
 A shudder resounds through me as my hands contact the cold glass, and he gazes at me in the window reflection. “Keep them there,” he orders. My hips are pulled back slightly, my back arches. Luca’s fingertips glide down my spine. Palming my behind, he massages the swell of my ass in both hands. The heat radiating off him is absorbed by my back as he leans in close to kiss the shell of my ear. The tips of his thumbs touch my entrance. Going down into a kneeling position, his nose traces down my back, stopping twice to leave a rough kiss in his wake. Luca bites both cheeks and a low growl leaks from his lips.
      He starts licking me from front to back with the flat of his tongue. All the while his hands keep cupping my behind. “I want to hear you, Fallon.” His tongue traces my folds, the inside of my thighs, the bundle of nerves are being sucked into his warm and wet mouth. And finally his tongue moves inside me, licking my inner walls.
I scream his name repeatedly and throw my head back when his tongue pleasures me into climax.
      Unfastening his pants and pushing down his boxer briefs, Luca seats himself in me roughly. “I’m always so fucking hard for you. Fuck, Fallon,” he groans. My earlobe is caught between his teeth as his hands hold my wrists against the window.
My back curves more to take him in deep.
Luca tangles his right hand in my hair and turns my head to thrust his tongue in my mouth, meeting mine, compelling me. A low, rasping sound escapes him while he keeps up his punishing strokes until he spills inside me. He holds himself still, our breathing regulates, and his lips graze my shoulder. As he pulls out leisurely – tightening his grip around my locks, forcing my stare forward –
Luca takes my left hand and strokes his come around with our entangled fingers. “Rub it in, Fallon,” he whispers in a hoarse tone against my ear while locking eyes with me in the window.

Keep Me by Anna Zaires Cover Reveal *Giveaway* Excerpt

I have heard Twist Me (Book #1) by Anna Zaires is really good...and has a 50 Shades/Consequences vibe.  Check out cover, synopsis & giveaway and excerpt for Keep Me (Book #2) 

Title: Keep Me (Twist Me, #2)
Author: Anna Zaires
Genre: Dark Erotic Novel
Release Date: September 30, 2014
Cover Design by Eden Crane Designs
Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20806202-keep-me


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
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20495373-beloved?ac=1

Synopsis:
Not enough.

 Catherine Pope has never been enough. Every man she has ever loved abandoned her—from her father to her fiancé. 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
