When her rock star boyfriend breaks things off out of the blue, Alyssa applies to hit reality TV show Deserted and to her shock she gets through. Abandoned on a remote island with a bunch of strangers and none of the luxuries she’s become accustomed to, it’s not long before the real world is kicking her ass.

But Joshua it seems is hiding a painful secret… one he won’t risk anyone finding out. When her newfound fan-base and survival skills bring her ex to his senses, Alyssa will have to choose – a life in the spotlight, or a life of new meaning that heartbreakingly may just have its limits?

Excerpt:
Her heart hit overdrive and she shook her head. “Sorry I snapped at you.”
“It’s okay.” Nate came to her side and grabbed her hand. 
She made the mistake of looking into his face and stilled, unable to pull her fingers out of his.
Their eyes locked and the words were on her tongue to order him to stop looking at her that way. Stop touching her. Stop everything. But when Nate lowered his head, Lee closed the distance between their mouths.
On a groan, she went to him, her breasts pushing into his chest even before she stretched to wrap her arms around his neck. 
He deepened the kiss, rubbing his tongue against hers. Nate pulled her closer, squeezing her ass with both hands and rocking his pelvis against her. He was already hard, his erection evident, and Lee’s sex throbbed in response.
God, it’s been too long.
She moaned and kissed him harder. Lee rocked her hips into him, wanting him to know she wanted him as much as she ever had. Wanted him to read her mind. Know she was sorry for more than just snapping at him about things he didn’t know. 
Lee cared about Nate.

About the Author:
Mary Whitney blames Laura Ingalls Wilder and Margaret Mitchell for her obsession with romance
novels. At an early age, Mary fell in love with the Little House series and its dreamy hero, Almanzo
Wilder, who only wanted Laura to be Laura. Like many women, Mary later graduated to the ultimate,
tall and dark bad boy, Rhett Butler, who loved Scarlett despite her flaws.
Mary has lived around the U.S., and after a first career in the non-profit world and politics, she's settled
in Northern California with her husband and daughters. She spends her days writing characters she
hopes somehow capture the romance of Rhett and Scarlett and Almanzo and Laura. She's a firm believer in what Rhett says to Scarlett: "You should be kissed, and often, and by someone who knows how.

Synopsis:
Orgasmic Meditation? Therapeutic?! Kaylee Baker is horrified when her girlfriends suggest a trip to artsy Boulder, Colorado, to check out the latest craze. What her friends don’t know about Kaylee is that she is a little repressed, bordering on frigid, and the idea of a complete stranger bringing her to orgasm--therapeutic or not--is horrifying.

Blaze Donahue has admired Kaylee from afar for quite some time, and part of the reason he’s kept his distance is because he’s had no indication that she might even be interested. But when he’s given the opportunity to offer her his own version of OM with no strings attached, he makes an offer she has a hard time refusing.

When there are undeniable sparks between the two, Kaylee runs, afraid of the overwhelming feelings she has for this gorgeous, sensitive guy. Blaze feels compelled to convince her otherwise but wonders if he’ll be able to crack through the ice surrounding this sweet girl. Can they find true love or will it just be a one-time O?

Excerpt:
Rachel wasn’t waiting for anyone to keep up. “I read an article on it earlier today, so then I  Googled it. Have any of you ever heard of tantric sex?” Shannon nodded her head but Maddy 
said no. Kaylee shook her head, but Rachel was already storming the castle. “Well, the concept is similar. It’s all Buddhist and higher level and stuff...but it’s fucking orgasms, you know? I mean...that shit’s insane! And to have someone doing it to you without expecting a blowjob in return?” She laughed. “I am so there.”

Maddy laughed along with her friend but then said, “Doesn’t that just make the person bringing it on an overpaid pretentious whore?”

“You would think so, but no. They are totally serious about it. You even keep your shirt on! 

They say they want to remove the goal—you know, that you have to orgasm. It’s more about the experience, focusing on the sensations. And it’s fifteen minutes. That’s it. And then you talk about it.”

Shannon burst out laughing. “You talk about it? What?! ‘Baby, was it good for you’?” Rachel giggled. “No. Maybe. I don’t know!” The poor waiter handed Rachel her new drink and she donned a lustful smile. The alcohol was definitely talking. 

“Thank you so much. I will be tracking you down later. I want to stuff a tip down your pants.”

He smiled again, and Kaylee could see he was nervous. She thought he must have imagined 

Rachel as a jaguar, and if she got anywhere near him on the open plain, she’d chase his ass, knock him down, and tear into his flesh.

Kaylee suspected Rachel just might consider it. The girl got horny when she drank, and her lips got loose to boot, so her sex life (or want of one) was not a secret when she was imbibing.

Rachel said, “We are going to Boulder next week. We have to do this.”

Kaylee felt the blood drain from her face. No way. No way in hell was she going to do something crazy like that.

“Oh, my God, yes!” Maddy said, her voice higher in pitch, close to a squeal. Shannon was 

enthusiastic as well, her head pumping up and down with vigor. The three women then turned to look at Kaylee.

She was going to have to say something. Damn it. She waved her hands in front of herself. 

“Oh, no, girls. That’s way out of my comfort zone.”

Rachel reached across the table, patting Kaylee’s hand. “Exactly why you have to do it.”

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.





Being Sawyer Knight by Nicola Haken
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).

Love of a Rockstar by Nicole Simone
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.
