You Got Banged...Now It's Time To Get Nailed - Review of Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton - 4 Stars

Did you read Wallbanger by Alice Clayton?  Check out my review of this sweet and sexy sequel that just released yesterday.

Title: Rusty Nailed
Author: Alice Clayton
Release Date: June 24, 2012

Synopsis:
In this sequel to Wallbanger, the second book in the Cocktail series, fan favorites Caroline and Simon negotiate the rollercoaster of their new relationship while house-sitting in San Francisco.

Playing house was never so much fun—or so confusing. With her boss on her honeymoon, Caroline’s working crazy long hours to keep the interior design company running—especially since she’s also the lead designer for the renovation of a gorgeous old hotel on Sausalito. So with her hotshot photographer boyfriend gallivanting all over the world for his job, she and Simon are heavy-duty into “absence makes the heart grow fonder” mode. Neither has any complaints about the great reunion sex, though! Then Simon decides he’s tired of so much travelling, and he’s suddenly home more. A lot more. And wanting Caroline home more, too. Though their friends’ romantic lives provide plenty of welcome distraction, eventually Caroline and Simon have to sort their relationship out. Neither wants “out of sight, out of mind,” but can they create their own happy mid-ground cliché?

Review of Rusty Nailed on Kindle Crack Book Reviews

Rusty Nailed (Cocktail, #2)Rusty Nailed by Alice Clayton
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Title: Rusty Nailed
Series: Book #2 (series should be read in order)
Author:  Alice Clayton
Release Date: June 24, 2014
Rating: 4 stars
Cliffhanger: No.  Multiple book series.

Rusty Nailed is the funny and sweet follow up to Wallbanger. Caroline
and Simon are still banging and baking in this delicious and sexy
sequel.

I have to say I liked the first book a little more. Rusty Nailed felt
a little “Sex in the Cityish” and focused a lot on the drama of the
secondary characters. Overall, Rusty Nailed was a cute read, but
needed a little more angst and a little less food porn.  I enjoyed Rusty Nailed and would recommend to anyone who liked Wallbanger. Once again Clive stole the show...that crazy cat needs his own book!   4 stars.

Come to Me Softly (Closer to You, #2)Come to Me Softly by A.L. Jackson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Title: Come To Me Softly
Series: Book #2 (series must be read in order)
Author:  A.L. Jackson
Release Date: June 24, 2014
Rating: 5 stars
Cliffhanger: No

Come To Me Softly is the stunning continuation of Aleena (Aly) and
Jared’s all-consuming love story. Book two picked up right where the
first book left off. After hitting his internal self-destruct button,
Jared’s life spirals out of control.  He hits rock bottom and finally
gets some clarity about Aly and his messed up life.  Jared goes home
to Aly and wants to do right by her and the baby. He wants to be a
better man and give her a “white picket fence” life…a man worthy of
Aly and the baby.  He proposes to Aly, gets a job and buys a home.
While trying to build a perfect life, he is anything but feeling
perfect on the inside.  Jared still blames himself for his mother’s death and the loss of his family. He refuses to talk about his feelings
or go for professional help. His anger issues might just hurt the one
person who believes in him and destroy any chance he has at happiness.
Does Aly have enough love in her heart to be strong enough for Jared?
Will Jared allow himself to be loved or will he push Aly and the baby
away?

Come To Me Softly is a story of hope, healing and the power of love.
This isn’t a second chance romance…this was more like a third or
fourth chance love story.   There were times I wanted to smack Jared
for wallowing in pain and not getting help.  Both books in this series
pulled on my heart strings and never let go.

I love AL Jackson’s writing style.  She has such a way of delivering
stories packed with raw emotion.  If you liked broken tattooed, 

motorcycle riding bad boys with a heart of gold Come To Me Softly is for you!

Come To Me Quietly (Book #1)

Aleena Moore is content with her life. She has goals and dreams and an easy smile. She also has a secret she holds locked inside.
Jared Holt believes he doesn’t deserve to love or be loved. He destroys everything he touches. Haunted by the mistake that shattered his life, he’s fled from the memory of that pain.
Jared doesn’t know why he’s compelled to return, but finds himself drawn back to the place where it all began. The exact place where it ended. When he runs into his childhood best friend, Aleena’s older brother Christopher, he agrees to share Christopher and Aleena’s apartment while he looks for a place of his own.
Aleena is no longer the little girl Jared remembers from his past and evokes feelings in him he never wanted to feel again. Terrified of destroying her, he fights to keep her away. But her touch is something he can’t resist—the touch that sealed his fate.
Their pasts are intertwined and their futures uncertain. The only truths they know are the secrets they whisper in the night.

Only One More Day Until Come To Me Softy by A.L. Jackson is LIVE!

Don't miss my review and amazing author giveaways on release day!  


Cover Reveal - Vanquish by Pam Godwin


Do you like dark and twisted romance books?  I do...especially when Pam Godwin is writing them.  Check out the synopsis for Vanquish.  I can't wait to read this one.

Title: Vanquish
Author: Pam Godwin
Expected release date: Summer 2014

Her life is like a prison cell.
A self-made, to-hell-with-the-free-world existence that locks from the inside.

Stop judging. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe.

He belongs in a prison cell. The 6x8, make-me-your-bitch variety that locks from the outside. But he’s free. To hunt. To take. To break. And he just found a sexy new toy.

Capturing her is the easy part. Her fucked-up mind, however, makes him question everything he does next. But he’s a determined bastard. If all goes his way, this will hurt like hell.





New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author, Pam Godwin, lives in the Midwest with her husband, their two children, and a foulmouthed parrot. When she ran away, she traveled fourteen countries across five continents, attended three universities, and married the vocalist of her favorite rock band.

Java, tobacco, and dark romance novels are her favorite indulgences, and might be considered more unhealthy than her aversion to sleeping, eating meat, and dolls with blinking eyes.

About CD Reiss

CD Reiss
CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn’t pick up, she’s at the well, hauling buckets.

Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master’s degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did embed TV story structure in her head well enough for her to take a big risk on a TV series structured erotic series called Songs of Submission. It’s about a kinky billionaire hung up on his ex-wife, an ingenue singer with a wisecracking mouth; art, music and sin in the city of Los Angeles.

Critics have dubbed the books “poetic,” “literary,” and “hauntingly atmospheric,” which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she’s some sort of braggart who’s too good to give the toilets a once-over every couple of weeks or chop a cord of wood.

If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Spin, book one in Songs of Corruption is due to be released on 3/13, two days early. I expect a preorder button will go up around 3/10 or so. You can use any of the below links to get an announcement.

Songs of Perdition, Fiona Drazen’s serial, will begin May 5th, as part of the Erotica Consortium’s boxed set. The novella will be called Kick. Fiona’s story is very dark and uncomfortable. Consider yourselves warned.

Inked - New Anthology Centering Around All Things Tattoos

I'm getting Inked...check this smokin hot boxed set.

Books about Tattoos

Inked 
Release Date: August 25, 2014

Blurb

Five contemporary romance and erotica authors bring you the collection Inked—five full-length novels centering around all things tattoos.

Punctured, Bruised, and Barely Tattooed – Jade C. Jamison

Kory McCallister has had her eyes on tattoo artist Stone 
 Bowman for quite some time—so long, in fact, that no other guy will do.  Stone pushes every turn on button Kory has—he’s tattooed from head to toe (well, at least she prays he’s tattooed on his lower half); he’s hot; he’s funny and charming; and he’s also mysterious.  So when Kory’s friends dare her to ask Stone out on a date, she can’t believe she actually finds the guts to do it.

More surprising?  He takes her up on the offer.

She discovers that, while his past might not be quite as dark or mysterious as she’d imagined, it’s bigger than she’d expected, and it’s something she will need to contend with if she decides she wants to keep him around to color her life for good.

Shattered Strings – JM Walker

Evancroft. This one word means everything to me. My band. My heart. My life. Without the music, I am nothing. I don’t exist. When we play, we are one. We are in control.

On stage I am a woman. Powerful. Dominating. Forcing the crowd to submit to my words. Off stage? I am the complete opposite. Innocent.

Jace Croft. He is the oil to my water. The darkness to my light. My band mate. My best friend.

One unexpected night together unleashes new feelings that we both try to ignore but the band comes first. It always comes first. 

Or so I thought.

House of Payne – Stacy Gail

Life is supposedly what you make of it, but that’s crap as far as 3D artist, Becks Delgado is concerned. She never wanted her brother to die in a car accident… or to be the one who was behind the wheel. Her external scars are nothing compared to the raw wounds inside, and death seems to be the only way to find peace.

Sebestian Payne took the concept of a tattoo parlor and transformed it into a sophisticated gallery of living art. The House Of Payne now caters to the rich and infamous, has garnered a worldwide following, and is run by Sebastian with an iron fist. He knows Becks is exactly what The House Of Payne needs, but there’s a problem. The accident that changed her life left its mark on him as well, and whether he likes it or not, it’s time to put his House in order.

Sunny and 75 – Scarlett Metal

Julia had the perfect life...or so she thought.  On the eve of her wedding, her world came crashing down on her.  She escaped it all, heading out on the trip that was planned as a celebration.

Aiden was living the dream, working as the head bartender at a resort on Punta Cana.  Every day, he fights the demons of his past as a Marine, even in the midst of paradise.

He comes to Julia's rescue one night and after numerous run in, start spending time together.  Things get physical quickly, but is there more to their relationship?  What happens when Julia has to head back to reality?  Will Aiden join her or is he unable to get past the memories back home?

Reckless Abandonment – K. Pinson

Cohen Archer, a fresh faced kid new to Sunnydaze Trailer Park, begins a new life with his recently widowed mother.  When Cohen spots his new neighbor Brynn Jenkins crying at a weathered picnic table in the middle of the courtyard, his life is forever altered. Who knew an eight year old was capable of love at first sight?  Falling into a protective role, Cohen races to the rescue every time Brynn calls. But he isn’t the only one.

Brynn and Ariana Jenkins don’t live a life of grandeur. Their alcoholic, drug abusing mother is the very definition of “Trailer Trash,” but Brynn never has to take the abuse their mother doles out. Ariana takes it all so that her little sister can live a normal life, ultimately causing Ariana to harden and become difficult to love.

As years pass by, Cohen’s feelings only grow stronger for Brynn, but hers remain the same. Best friends, nothing more.  After years of pursuing Brynn, Cohen realizes that she is nothing like the girl he had fallen for when they were children. Brynn’s main aspiration is to have a good time and she falls in with a dangerous crew in the fast lane.  Everyone from her former life falls off her radar.  It is only then that Cohen sees Ariana in a different light and realizes that she is really the other half to his whole. He doesn’t need to protect her; he just needs to complete her.

Ariana has always loved Cohen from afar, not trusting herself and the cross she bears to be strong enough to give him the love he so desperately yearns.  He finally cracks her tough exterior just as tragedy strikes.  When Cohen is pulled back into Brynn with reckless abandon, every other relationship he built falls apart at his feet.

This is a gripping tale of three very different lives intertwining to create a perfect blend of despair, growth and love in every stage.

AUTHOR BIOS

Jade C. Jamison:  Jade C. Jamison was born and raised in Colorado, moved from one city/town to the next, and she’s decided she likes it so much she wants to stay…although travel is not out of the question.  She lives in a big town in Colorado (not unlike Winchester!) with her husband and four children.  She is working on becoming a crazy cat lady.  Okay, so maybe not.

Still want more?  Jade has a bachelor’s degree in English Literature and Theater, a master’s degree in English, and a master of fine arts in Creative Writing.  Obviously, she loves school and the student loan folks love her.  She works in human services by day, teaches English and creative writing at night, and—in between playing soccer mom and community leader—writes like a fiend.  Someday soon, she’ll narrow it down to just writing, but let’s get all those kids off to college first.

JM WalkerWhen J.M. isn't working her Monday-Friday 9-5 job, she's spending her time reading, writing and with the love of her life.

J.M. loves stories with Alpha broken males and that need to be ripped apart and put back together again. Men that fall to their knees over a wink or a giggle from their females.

Two things you will never find J.M. without; her cell phone and lip gloss. If she has both of those items, you have a happy girl.

Since starting her writing adventure in 2013, J.M. has met many people, real life, online, in her head and she loves every single one of them. Without the support from others, none of this would be possible and she's grateful for all that has been given to her.

By the age of fourteen, she told her parents she was either going to be a figure skating coach who was also a published romance writer, or a romance writer who was also a skating pro. Now with a day job of playing on the ice with her students, and earning her tenth contract with Harlequin's Carina Press, both dreams have come true.
