Synopsis:
I play the role well.
The grieving widow is new, but I can do it: shaking hands, sad smiles, even a tear or two when necessary.
The acting isn't new. I've been doing it my whole life.
The truth is too painful to reveal, too upsetting for those around me. They don't want to see who I truly am... what I truly am. 

They don't want to know I'm a killer.

As lead singer and guitarist of the internationally renowned Souls of the Knight, Sawyer Knight is living a life most men can only dream of. He’s surrounded by music, fame, wealth, women throwing themselves at his feet. He has everything…
Yet he has nothing.

Life as one of the world’s most sought after rock stars is tiring, oppressive and lonely. He spends every day being who the world wants him to be, who his manager tells him to be, who his mother expects him to be… all the while fighting against who he really is. Truth is, he’s used to it. He’s actually gotten pretty good at pretending… at living the lie.

Until Jake Reed, his ex-best friend and the only person who’s ever made him ‘feel’, waltzes back into his life as the band’s new head of security. Jake wants Sawyer – always has, always will. Now, he just needs to get Sawyer to admit that he feels the same…

“You will be mine, Sawyer Knight. The faster you try to run the quicker you’ll fall to your knees. Then, Sawyer… then you’ll be too weak to resist.

Title: Being Sawyer Knight
Series: Book #1
Author: Nicola Haken
Release Date: June 24, 2014
Rating: 4.5- 5 stars
Cliffhanger: No – Can be read as a standalone.

Sawyer Knight is an international rock star.  On the surface it appears that he has it all -- the hot groupies, fame and fortune.  But one thing is missing from his life. Ever since his best friend kissed him years ago he thought about him and what that kiss meant. Sawyer didn’t want to admit he was gay…to himself or to his fans.

Seventeen-year-old Jake Reed kissed his best friend Sawyer in a bold attempt to show him how he really felt about him. He knew he was moving with his family across the world and would probably never see the boy he fell in love with. What did he have to lose?  Sawyer pushes his best friend away and tells him he isn’t gay. Sawyer didn't want to be attracted to his friend. But why did he love that kiss so much? Why didn’t he feel the same way when he was with girls?

Years go by, and Sawyer never forgot the encounter with Jake. He rejected his best friend and never saw or spoke to him again. His life was filled with meaningless sex with groupies...but he knew the truth.

Jake thrusts himself back into his life as his new head of security. Sawyer is getting death threats, and Jake and his team have been tapped to protect Sawyer's band. Sawyer pushes him away again...but Jake knows his kisses tells no lies.

I LOVED Being Sawyer Knight. This steamy and sexy second chance rock star romance took me by surprise. Sawyer and Jake were both such likeable characters.  I have to say I wasn’t sure I liked Jake at first since he was so aggressive and cocky. Sawyer probably needed a body guard to protect him against Jake at first.

This sexy and sweet page turner warmed my heart and ended up fogging over my Kindle screen. Great writing, just delicious m/m chemistry and such a fun book. Fans of Kindle Alexander and Ann Lister will devour being Sawyer Night.  I can’t wait to read Ryder’s story in Taming Ryder (Souls of the Knight #2).

Title: Love of a Rockstar
Series: No
Author:  Nicole Simone
Release Date: February 11, 2014
Rating: 3.00 -3.50 stars
Cliffhanger: No.

Eighteen year old Marlene is abandoned by her boyfriend Luke while she was eight months pregnant.  He takes off to pursue his dream of being a rock star.  Four years later Luke is a mega-rock star and shows up at her job while on tour and wants to meet his daughter and get his girl back.  But Marlene has found a new boyfriend and she and her daughter are about to move to France with him. Sparks fly and Luke has only a few short days to prove he is worthy of his ex and his daughter before they leave the country.

I had a difficult time forming any sort of a connection with Marlene and Luke. Luke was an uber dbag with no redeeming qualities. Marlene was a bit of a door mat and the way she dealt with her boyfriend wasn’t entirely fair.  I wish that some of the dialogue with her family was shorter and the plot was infused with a better balance of drama, angst and some additional character development. Love of a Rockstar ended too abruptly. I wish there had been an epilogue to tie up loose ends.  Overall, this was a sweet and sappy second chance romance.

Sexy and dangerous Layton Everett enters Lola’s life again without warning. Not only does Layton know who Lola really is but he also used to work for her family’s sworn enemy . Lola worries he’s shown up to finish the hit put on her two years ago, so she tries to stay away from him, but it’s difficult when he seems to be everywhere. Plus, she’s attracted to him more than she likes to admit.

Teaser
Finally he pulls away and looks at me again. His eyes are a little watery, like he’s been crying. “Run away with me.” There’s desperation in his eyes, a silent plea.
I bite down on my lip. “What?”
He sits up and traps my face between his hands. “Run away with me, Lolita. We can start over and I’ll keep you safe. Please tell me you trust me enough to run away with me, like you said to me when we were fourteen. God I wish I would have just done it… Things would have been so different if I just done it back then.” He pulls me against him again, embracing me tightly.
I remember the day my mom died, right before I found her in my dad’s arms in the driveway, I’d suggested to Layton that we run away. I’d never liked the world I grew up in and leaving seemed like such a great idea—still does. I just wish I

SYNOPSIS
ARE YOU READY FOR A TWIST?
Who is Iris? Where did she come from? Where has she gone?
Alasdair Masters has more questions than answers about his new,
too young obsession, and when he finds out she’s been lying to
him, from their first meeting to their last one, he’s more confused
than ever about her feelings, her intentions.
And what’s just as confusing are his own feelings. Has he turned
something purely physical into something emotional in his own
head? Is any of it mutual?

The only thing he doesn’t question is whether he’ll keep going
Me, I was simple. I was order. A very neat, efficient machine that
ran on nothing but air.

Me plus anyone else, well, that was another matter. And me plus
Iris, that was a monster of a machine, with all gears going at
different speeds, some spinning off their hinges, just going mad,
but it was a wonderful madness, at full throttle, misfiring in all

It felt wonderful and dreadful.

I was breaking down, and it felt amazing.

“You’re the only one I want to control. The only one whose submission I want, need, and crave with every part of me, every second of every day.”
– Sergeant Logan Pierce
Sergeant Logan Pierce: Head of Houston’s elite SWAT team. He leads his squad with cool efficiency, taking down rough criminals while keeping his team safe. But behind closed doors he sets a darker part of himself free. He’s a Dominant in the world of Bondage and Domination. As a Dom, he’s controlled many submissives, but never had one for his own. That’s because there’s only one man he wants: Corporal Clay Foster.

Corporal Clay Foster: Highly trained SWAT officer. He’s always the first one to face the dangerous situations of their job. Over the years he’d noticed his Sergeant’s secretly admiring glances and suspected his attraction. One night, with one kiss, he’s proven correct. Clay dives headlong into the rough passion of BDSM that Logan introduces him to. He submits to Logan’s control, accepting the sweet shackles that bind him to his Sergeant. But secrets, both his and Logan’s, force him to leave the newfound safety of his Dom’s arms.
Logan refuses to let go of what he’s wanted for so long, Clay as his own, proudly wearing his collar. Clay wants to be his. He knows it and Clay knows it too. Can Logan safely guide Clay through the obstacles that separate them until he can claim his submissive once more?

Meet the Author:
I love to write stories that are emotional and lovely with sex that is integral to the characters romantic arc. Purple is my favorite color, but I don't use purple prose. My stories involve straight couples, curvy couples, gay couples, interracial couples ... I write them all. I feel the same as many others; love is love and everyone should have their story told.
Thanks for reading,
Christa

Review of The Sergeant on Kindle Crack Book Reviews
The Sergeant by Christa Tomlinson
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Title: The Sergeant

Author:  Christa Tomlinson
Release Date: April 26, 2014
Rating: 3.00 stars
Cliffhanger: No.

I love m/m romances, and I could not wait to devour a m/m SWAT team romance. There is nothing like a hot man in uniform. Here is my basic breakdown down of this story: A SWAT team Sargent and his underling fall into a hot and heavy BDSM relationship. I tried super hard to get into this book…all 585 pages of it.  There was an enormous amount of repetitious sex, and it felt a little “pornified.”Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE smutastic books…but I was not feeling the chemistry between these two characters.  It turned into smack, suck, screw, repeat marathon.  Meh. This book wasn't for me...but it might be for you!

Logan headed out of the station after making sure everyone on the team was gone. At least he thought everyone was gone until he saw Clay standing at the door, staring outside.
“What are you doing?” Logan stepped up beside him.
“It’s raining.”
Logan looked out the glass doors. “I see that.” He laughed. “You jogged to work today, didn’t you?” Clay jogged nearly every day they weren’t on call and he didn’t have to haul all his gear. “C’mon, I’ll take you home.”
Once they were in the car, Logan didn’t have to ask for directions. He knew where each one of his team members lived. They headed up Dallas Avenue to

Review of Rusty Nailed on Kindle Crack Book Reviews

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.
