I’m a sex worker.

I just want my old, uncomplicated life back.

He’s investigating my mothers disappearance, but I can see that it’s more than that for him.He thinks he can help me. He thinks he can fix me.

Only how can he fix something so broken?

Synopsis
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. She changed her name and reinvented herself into a good girl… at least part of the time anyway. 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.

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.

TWO MONTHS AFTER THE FALLING OUT

I had a bit of a nervous breakdown after Iris left 
without a trace.  

It was the strangest thing, but I suddenly didn’t like my 
own company so much.  

In fact, I began to hate it, even at home.  
I still went to the gym at the exact same time, every 
single day, in the small hope that she’d show again.  

She didn’t, but I kept going, because I wanted to see

A Love Story Set In Napa Valley...Nowhere But Here by Renee Carlino

Check out Nowhere But Here by Renee Carlino.  Romance with Napa Valley setting...sign me up for this one.  

Title: Nowhere But Here
Author: Renée Carlino
Genre: Contemporary Romance

About Nowhere But Here:
A Chicago reporter in her mid-twenties unexpectedly finds love in Napa Valley when she’s assigned to spend a week with a famously reclusive genius.
Kate Corbin has lost her spark. From the outside, her life seems charmed. She has a handsome, long-term boyfriend and a budding journalism career at a popular Chicago newspaper. But in reality, her relationship is going nowhere, and she’s quickly losing motivation for what she once believed was her dream job. When her boyfriend dumps her unceremoniously, Kate loses all hope of finding love.
With no living family and few friends, Kate confides in her boss. Trusting that the hungry, ace reporter is buried somewhere deep inside, he gives Kate the opportunity to jumpstart her career. The assignment: to interview the famously reclusive R.J. Lawson, a wealthy tech genius who disappeared years ago but recently reemerged as a Napa Valley vintner. The week takes an unexpected turn, however, when Lawson refuses to divulge any information. Desperate for a lead, Kate turns to Jamie, a vineyard hand who shows her the romance of wine country—and stirs her aching heart. But his connection to Lawson is ambiguous, and when Jamie disappears before the end of the week, Kate is left to investigate another story: the truth behind the man who stole her heart.
USA TODAY bestselling author Renée Carlino explored love and heartbreak in her beautifully written debut Sweet Thing, and her newest novel does not disappoint. For fans of Colleen Hoover, K.A. Tucker, and Katja Millay, Nowhere But Here is a stirring and satisfying romance that you won’t want to put down.

The Sergeant by Christa Tomlinson - Review & Giveaway


Check out my review of The Sergeant by Christa Tomlinson. A signed paperback is up for grabs!



Synopsis:
“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

The SergeantThe Sergeant by Christa Tomlinson
My rating: 3.5 of 5 stars
Title: The Sergeant
Series: No
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!

Excerpt:
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

SEARCHING FOR MOORE – Book 1
I lost the love of my life when she disappeared without even a goodbye. 
It was the 80’s – there was no internet, no Google, no cell phones. 
If you wanted to disappear, you could. 
And she did. 
She crushed my soul. 
A friend just told me he saw her on Facebook. 
And now I’m a keystroke away from asking her the question that’s haunted me for two decades. 
“Why did you leave me?” 

Two decades after she broke his heart, sexy entrepreneur Schooner Moore uncovers the truth and betrayal his life has been built on when he Facebook friend requests college love, Mia Silver. Determined to win Mia’s love once again, Schooner embarks on a life-altering journey that could cost him everything. 

MOORE TO LOSE – Book 2
Continuing the fight for their happily ever after that began in Searching for Moore, Schooner Moore and Mia Silver struggle to overcome the ghosts and baggage they accumulated during their time apart. 
Exploring the missing 24 years when they were separated, Moore to Lose follows Mia's journey from heartbroken teen to kickass businesswoman to her emotional reunion with Schooner and the exploration of the love that was ripped from them. 
But is their love really strong enough to overcome the damage of those missing 24 years or will they continue to be ripped apart by pasts that can't be changed? 

MOORE THAN FOREVER – Book 3
"You have no idea of what you do to me, Baby Girl." 
"It's smoochal." 

Is the love they always dreamed of enough? 

Continuing the emotional journey of love and betrayal that began on a college campus in Searching for Moore and turned their worlds upside down in Moore to Lose, handsome, California entrepreneur Schooner Moore and sharp and sassy, New York advertising agency owner Mia Silver continue to be confronted with the harsh reality of the remnants from the lives they lived apart for 24 years. 

Now, Schooner Moore and Mia Silver face the ultimate challenge - were they really meant to be together or will their pasts continue to tear them apart? 

On the heels of the birth of their newborn son, Nathaniel, Schooner and Mia must decide if their love and loyalty to one another is strong enough to learn to grow together as a couple or if the life they always dreamed of sharing was better left as a teenage fantasy.

Author Julie A. Richman is a native New Yorker living deep in the heart of Texas. A creative writing major in college, reading and writing fiction has always been a passion.

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?

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,

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.
