Being Sawyer Knight Blog Tour Button.jpg

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.

My rating: 5 of 5 stars
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).

“I need to talk to you,” was how I greeted Sawyer when he opened the door to his dressing room. We had an hour to wait before the stylists and makeup artists were available to prepare the guys for the shoot, so they were all chilling back in their respective dressing suites.
“Um,’kay,” he said nervously, backing into the room. I followed him inside and then turned back to the door, locking it behind me. That move caused his Adam’s apple to bulge as he swallowed nervously. “W-what’s up?”
“You looked beautiful on that stage,” I said, advancing towards him. Instinctively he backed away, but I kept moving forward until he was pressed against the wall. “My dick was so hard for you, Sawyer. It’s been hard for you

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
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.

Check Out Invincible by Alana Albertson


Holy sh#t this sounds like a crazy romance thriller!  Check out Invincible by Alana Albertson. I just added it to my TBR list. It just re-released with a new cover and contains Annie's POV!  



Synopsis:
 I’ll be honest with you—I’m no hero. Sure, the media tries to brand every Navy SEAL as some kind of Batman dressed in cammies. There’s even a line in one of our cadences: Superman is the man of steel, he ain’t no match for Navy SEAL. You’ve seen the movies—we’re infallible, invaluable, invincible. But that night, the one you read about in the papers … all I really wanted to do was get laid.

One harmless fuck with an Aruban whore, no strings attached. I picked her out of a lineup—wild, dark hair, long legs and a crooked smile. After she sucked me off, I relaxed back onto the creaky, cum-stained cot, thankful for the blissful moments she gave me when I actually forgot for a second the faces of my buddies who died because I made the wrong call, the tears of the children I couldn’t save, and the eyes of the enemies I slaughtered during their last seconds of life.

But before I left, her hazel eyes peered into my soul. She whispered in a distinct Californian accent, “My name is Annie Hamilton. I’m an American citizen. I was kidnapped on spring break five years ago. You’re my last hope. Please save me.”

One desperate plea. This wasn’t a Hollywood blockbuster or a New York Times best-selling thriller. I knew this time there was no room for excuses, no margin for errors. I had one chance to put on the cape and be her hero.

Publisher’s Note: This is a work of fiction. Names, characters, places, and incidents are a product of the author’s imagination. Locales and public names are sometimes used for atmospheric purposes. Any resemblance to actual people, living or dead, or to businesses, companies, events, institutions, or locales is completely coincidental. Expanded edition, with Annie's POV, 15,000 more words, new twist, more emotion. This is a full length novel, 60,000 words. New Adult Romantic Thriller. This book is intended for readers 18+.

Lies. Betrayal. A double life.
Lola Anders isn’t who she seems. Two years ago she ran away from a dangerous life she’d been living since she way born in order to stay alive.

A secretary by day and an escort by night, Lola lives a double life in order to maintain balance and survive. And things are going well, until a ghost from her past shows up out of nowhere.

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.

The closer Lola gets to Layton, the more her life gets turned upside. She ends up getting caught up in Layton's dangerous world and ultimately the life she ran away from catches up with her again.

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
