Review & Giveaway - For Fallon by Soraya Naomi

 If you like mafia love stories (I know I do)...you will want to check out For Fallon by Soraya Naomi.  Read my review and enter Soraya's giveaway for a $20.00 Amazon gift card, signed paperback and more below. What a great debut book from this new author!


 Title: Fallon by 
Author: Soraya Naomi 
Release Date: July 26th, 2014

Synopsis:
We all have a façade, a concealed mask we wear to portray ourselves to the world.
Fallon’s mask is real, what you see is what you get. Growing up with two loving parents in Chicago, graduating in Chicago, and now working a job she loves, she enjoys her life.

Her untarnished world is shaken when Luca crosses her path.
Luca’s mask is tightly controlled. Distrust, rivalry, and violence rule his life.
When confronted with insecurities, when the one you love wears his mask perfectly, when your life unravels and you don’t know why, do you keep trusting the person you love? Everyone has a façade. Everyone has an ulterior motive.

 Review of For Fallon:
For Fallon (Chicago Syndicate, #1)For Fallon by Soraya Naomi
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
Title:  For Fallon
Author:
Release Date: July 26, 2014
Rating: 4 – 4.50 stars
Cliffhanger: Yes
Spoiler-free review

Fallon’s life is fairly uncomplicated until Luca starts showing up everywhere she that she is.   She falls hard for the Italian speaking, green-eyed hottie businessman.  Fallon puts on “blinders” and chooses to ignore the warning signs of Luca's sketchy behavior.  Finally his disposable phones, random meetings and travel become too much to ignore.  Luca’s shady actions start to add up and negatively impact her feelings for Luca.  Is he married?  Does Fallon know too much already?

Luca is a criminal figurehead in a violent mob organization.  He falls for Fallon while she is under mob related surveillance to find her ex-boyfriend.  He wasn’t supposed to fall for her.  Luca knows he can’t be in a relationship with someone who isn’t connected to his world. Could he reveal himself to Fallon and would she stay with him?

I liked that this book wasn’t a run of the mill insta-love book.  After a lot of character and relationship building, this story picked up speed at 50% of the way in.  Luca and Fallon’s chaotic and sexy love story unravels from alternating points of view.  They love, lust and lie to each other and themselves.  This romantic suspense thriller has a lot of unexpected plot twists. For Fallon, it ends with a cliffhanger…but that shouldn’t stop you from reading this book. I will read book two as soon as it's available (SOON I HOPE).  What an amazing debut book from this new author!

About the Author:
Soraya Naomi resides in Europe with her entrepreneur fiancé. She attended university in The Netherlands. Although she reads many genres, she favors intense, dark, seductive, and provocative novels where the male character loves fiercely without remorse or boundaries. She has a passionate obsession for the written word and indulges in chocolate pastries much too often.
There are books full of great writing that don't have very good stories. Read sometimes for the story... don't be like the book-snobs who won't do that.
Read sometimes for the words--the language. Don't be like the play-it-safers who won't do that. But when you find a book that has both a good story and good words, treasure that book.
― Stephen King

I adore this romance series and can't wait to get my hands on book four.





 Torn by desire, will loving her mean the death of him? Dylan McBride's Seeker abilities have always kept him a step ahead of his father. But one step isn't enough when it comes to his wife and child. His confrontation with his father leaves him questioning everything he knows, including his part in the Supreme Trinity. Layne continues growing stronger, as does his Seeker. The more time he and Heaven share, the more he's able to control his Keeper abilities. But when new secrets begin to emerge, he's forced to face the truth, as well as the emotions he's kept buried. Among the death threats, constant hiding, and birth of her child, Heaven struggles to keep the peace between her soulmate and Keeper. More lies are exposed, threatening to destroy all that she loves. Will she be able to deny the truth once it's discovered or will she give in to what the heart desires?

A Gentleman's Memoir by A. J. Linn Release Day Giveaway


A Gentleman’s Memoir is a prequel to A Gentleman’s Affair and A Gentleman’s Secret.  This new release gets into heart of Donovan Hart and can be read as a standalone.  Don't forget to enter A.J.'s Linn's ebook giveaway below.


Title:           A Gentleman's Memoir
Author:     A. J. Linn
Release Date: August 11, 2014

Synopsis
You may already know Donovan Hart from A Gentleman’s Affair and A Gentleman’s Secret. Here is your chance to get to know him a bit more personally, more...behind the scenes, or under the sheets, as I like to say.
In A Gentleman's Memoir, you will get a glimpse into his past. You will see Donovan tackle loss, love, heartbreak, and sexual exploration. You see him grow from a directionless, 25-year-old, entitled, partying, beach bum and well-known Malibu ladies’ man into a man who decides to take on the world...or at least, La Fuga.
Spanning seven years of his life, from the death of his beloved mother, to his relationship with Danielle Hughes -aka cheating whore- to the sexual escapades that go beyond even his wildest imagination, A Gentleman’s Memoir, written in Donovan’s own words, may just shock you.
Possibly just as much as it did him.
Excerpt
No shortage of wild, wet, and more-than-willing participants fill the dark, smoky adult club that Mike and Russ dragged me to. Dragged may be too strong of a word, I went willingly. True, this would be my first experience in a club like this, and I even surprised myself at just how much I enjoyed everything about it...
The large wooden stage at the front of the club would soon become the platform for the uninhibited, the exhibitionist, and at times, as I quickly found out, the perverse. Play parties, as they were commonly referred to in these adult clubs, were the main attraction.
Sex acts in this public forum were the norm for most here, but for me, the closest I ever got to sex in public was a lifeguard tower or backseat of a car.

Leverage by Nancy S. Thompson Review & Giveaway




I am shocked that there isn’t more buzz about this book.   I could see this book turned into one hell of a cable show/movie.  It was everything a suspense/thriller should be, and more….this is Kindle Crack!  Check out my review & author giveaway!

Leverage Synopsis:
A dark romantic thriller intended for a mature audience.

Four years ago, Tyler Karras’ quest to avenge his wife's death led to all out war with San Francisco's Russian Mafia. With the Bratva’s collapse and its king, Dmitri Chernov, long dead, all Ty wants now is to put it behind him and enjoy a second chance at life with his new bride, Hannah, and the child they're expecting any day.

 But Chernov's heir, Grigory Dmitriev, has returned, bitter and determined. He wants his kingdom back, and he's more than willing to leverage Ty's new family to get it.

 First he targets Conner, Ty’s brooding nineteen-year-old stepson, manipulating the boy into a vortex of sex, drugs, alcohol, and gambling. Then he turns his sights on Hannah. At eight months pregnant, she’s the ultimate bargaining chip. With both their lives in jeopardy, as well as his unborn child, Ty has little choice but to do as Grigory commands.

 But Tyler swore he'd never kill again. He buried that monster four years ago and means to keep it that way. Grigory, however, makes that vow impossible to keep.

 With his new family on the line, Ty will cross further into the dark side than he ever has before, challenging everything he believes about himself, and forcing him to face the ghosts of his past. Only then will Ty discover if he has the strength to do the unspeakable, to sacrifice his last chance at redemption and save the lives of those he loves most

 Review of Leverage 

 Leverage (The Mistaken, #2)Leverage by Nancy S.  Thompson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

 Title:  Leverage
Author: Nancy S. Thompson
Series: Two-book series
Release Date: May 20, 2014
Rating: 5 stars
Cliffhanger: No
Spoiler-free review

 I’m still in recovery mode after reading Leverage.  I felt like I was going to stroke out or have a panic attack while I was reading this book.

 Leverage is a non-stop roller coaster ride filled with plenty of twists and turns. Thompson spins a well-crafted, intriguing web of lies, deceit, and mafia-style violence.  This suspenseful thriller kept me on the edge of my seat.  I couldn’t put this book down.  Period. I didn’t read The Mistaken (Book #1) prior to reading Leverage (Book #2),but I had no trouble diving into to this story. There was an adequate amount of the character's history provided, so I didn’t feel lost at any point.  Leverage can be read as a stand-alone novel. I am shocked that there isn’t more buzz about this book.   I could see this book turned into one hell of a cable show/movie.  It was everything a suspense/thriller should be, and more….this is Kindle Crack!

This review appears on www.kindlecrack.net,www.facebook.com/, Goodreads, Amazon, Booktropolous Social, Google+ and Twitter. A review copy of this book was kindly provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.


The Mistaken Synopsis (Book #1):

 A dark romantic thriller intended for a mature audience.

 All Tyler Karras wants is to enjoy life with his expectant new bride. What he gets instead is a graveside seat at her funeral. With the person responsible uncharged and still free, all Ty wants now is revenge.

 His target is a stranger, a woman. He doesn't know her, but he'll find her, and when he does, he will make her pay.

 Ty's brother, Nick, has dangerous connections and suggests a sadistic plan. Grab this woman and hand her over to his associates, sex-traffickers in San Francisco's Russian Mafia. They offer Ty more than he dreamed possible. In exchange for the woman, they'll finally let Nick leave the business for good, with his debt wiped clean and his heart still beating.

 There's just one problem. Ty kidnaps the wrong woman. Now all his plans have gone straight to hell.

 With his eyes made clear by the stark reality of his mistake, Ty is driven, compelled by remorse and a relentless sense of guilt to make amends and protect Hannah Maguire, the innocent woman whose life he has derailed. He vows to keep her safe and out of the hands of the very enemy he's unleashed, but the Russians are holding Nick as leverage to force Ty to complete their deal.

 Caught in a no-win situation, Ty must find a way to save himself, his brother, and Hannah, but with the Russian Mafia, even two out of three makes for very long odds.
