Grant Carter did everything in his power to convince Harlow Manning that he was a good guy. More than a smooth-talker and someone she could trust. He had to overcome his reputation as a playboy, and his history with Harlow's half-sister, Nan, a woman with a reputation of her own.

Harlow had taken the chance, falling hard and fast for the guy who thrilled her with his all-consuming desire. After a lifetime of avoiding bad boys like Grant, she had opened herself to the possibilities of love...

But a life-changing secret has torn them apart, and now Grant and Harlow must decide if they have enough fight to make it work - or if the pain of betrayal has permanently destroyed their future.

BLURB:
He didn’t think, he didn’t question—he just acted.
What she wanted, she took—without regard.
It was only one night, but it changed everything.

After losing his fiancée, Ben Covington is unsure he’ll ever love again. But he’s so deeply drawn to Bell Wilde that he’s thrown for a loop. Maybe it’s purely sexual chemistry that’s igniting their spark… or maybe it’s his second chance at love.

Bell Wilde has just gotten her life back on track and may not be up the challenge of Ben Covington coming back into it. However, once the spark is reignited…there’s no stopping it. But even if they both manage to pull together their frayed hearts, a secret from Bell’s past just might shatter them both.

Spoiler-free review

They are all Connected and ended up Torn and Dazed. They Mended, but life is full of so many twists and turns and lines Blurred, and relationships Frayed. This incredible series is all about their connections.

I have been hooked on this series since reading River & Dahlia’s story in Connected (Connections Book #1). Frayed picks up where Blurred left off. Once again Kim is going to take you on an emotional road trip and you will get to see how everyone is this series is Connected. Get ready for Kim Karr to blow you away with this one.

I know some of you are thinking that Ben & Belle deserve their own book? My answer: Yes! Ben wasn’t my favorite character in this series. He cheated, he lied and acted like a selfish prick at times. Belle was “the other woman” and hooked up and fell for someone else’s boyfriend. They both made some huge mistakes in college…they were young and stupid. Secrets and lies tore these two apart and to heal and move forward the truth must be told or this relationship will be Frayed.

Kim took these complex and seemingly unredeemable characters and gave them a second chance. I think most people deserve a new lease on life (especially fictional characters). This drama, angst-filled sexy fourth installment in this series did not disappoint. Connection series fans: Frayed is an absolute must read.

SYNOPSIS
Fighting For Switch (Switch & Jenn's Novella) by Kasey Millstead

Everyone knows that Switch and I are a couple, but no one knows the circumstances surrounding when we first got together.

It's not because we don't want them to know.

Or, because we're ashamed.

We're not.

It's just that we'd rather concentrate on the present, rather than the past.

But, it's haunting me, and I need to get it off my chest.

So, here it is. Our story. The story of a woman and a man who fell in love when they had no right in doing so.

Destined Havoc by Nina Levine
A man who walked away from it all.
A woman who craves it all.
A destiny they never saw coming.

Havoc Caldwell lost everything two years ago and left town a bitter and hard man. Now he lives life as a nomad with no ties or commitments to anyone but himself and his club, Storm MC.

Carla Walker is searching for more out of life. She grew up with no father, and her family struggled to make ends meet. Now she wants it all - a man who will make her his number one priority, a successful career, and a family of her own.

A chance encounter leads to a one night stand, and neither expect it to go any further. Havoc has no desire for a relationship and Carla could never see herself settling down with a biker. Sometimes though, a destiny you could never imagine exists and as much as you fight it, there’s no way you can escape it.

Shifting Lines by Abigail Lee
Luke Green is content with the business he owns, the women that pass through it, and the nights he spends alone. When Riley Scott storms into his life, all lines he had drawn are shifted around, leaving him with a choice. Will he allow her to enter the place no one is allowed or will he send her on her way like the others before her?

Steele by Vicki Green

Kallie Pearson is out for one thing, a good time. She’s bored of all the normal guys, the normal hot spots and finds a bar that holds just wants she’s been longing for.... Danger.

What she doesn't know is just how much danger it holds.

Dash by Shantel Tessier
Tabitha Knight has spent the last year of her life in a relationship that made her lose herself. Now that it's over all she wants is a night out and to have some fun. What she gets is much more.
Erik Dashling always finds himself in trouble. One day he finds himself behind bars where he gets offered an opportunity he can't turn down. But what happens when the woman he decides he wants has the power to take it away?
Waiting on Walker by Casey Peeler

In the small town of Barber, country music, motorcycles, and reckless teenagers are the norm. Chauna Jackson and Walker Brantley are no exception. The summer nights keep them hot, but they keep each other hotter. That is, until Walker disappears from Chauna's life when she needs him the most.

After losing everything important in her life, Chauna replaces her love for Walker with hatred. Fifteen years later, Chauna has quit waiting on Walker. She is ready to focus on her life, career, and friends at Boondocks until the unthinkable happens. Walker rides back into town, and he quickly realizes Chauna wants nothing to do with him, but will he take no for an answer?

Will Walker be able to win over Chauna, or will the memories of their past be too much for their future to handle?

Scar (Asphalt Gods MC #1) by Morgan Jane Mitchell

“They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but that’s bullshit. What doesn't kill you leaves a scar. More than the eyesore down my torso, I was a scar, the jagged, fucked up remains of a tragedy.”

Scar’s Nomad status gives him a chance to fulfill his one wish, but his lonely mission is interrupted when a possible one-night stand goes horribly wrong.
“They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger, but what if I can’t live with myself anymore?”
Finding the blonde face down in a puddle of her own blood jeopardizes everything. Saving her and keeping her quiet could get Scar killed, but when Emery wakes up, her shocking proposal for him to kill her starts the ride of his life.

Read my review of Perfectly Damaged

Perfectly Damaged by E.L. Montes
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Review to follow on release. Big love for this book.

E.L. Montes knocked it out of the park with Perfectly Damaged. This deeply moving and beautiful story is about finding love, overcoming emotional obstacles, compassion and acceptance.

Jenna suffers from schizoaffective disorder, a mental illness where Jenna experiences mood swings, hallucinations, as well as voices in her head. She manages to function at times with the help of medication. In addition to her mental issues she battles the pain in her heart after losing
her sister.

Jenna meets Logan, a construction worker on her parents' estate. Logan and Jenna are immediately attracted to each other after sharing a kiss on a dare. She slowly lets him into her life, but she is afraid that he will dump her once he learns about her issues. Logan embraces Jenna’s quirky mannerisms and her see-saw behavior. He has his own issues and emotional baggage he is dealing with, as well. Jenna and Logan are so good together…they are perfectly damaged. Can they grow as a couple together and heal each other?

Jenna’s disease and the way in which it affects her relationships with Logan, family and friends is told in a very realistic manner. I felt Jenna’s anxiety and apprehension and was knee deep in ugly tears and relief when I reached the end of this book. Montes' writing style is polished, and this story and the delivery were flawless. Her
writing has evolved on a whole new emotional level. Perfectly Damaged is such a great story...not uplifting...until the Colleen Hoover-esque of
emotional ending. I would recommend one this one.

ARC kindly provided by in exchange for a fair and honest review. Spoiler-free review. 5.00 stars. No cliffhanger/standalone.

Thin Love by Eden Butler - New Release Giveaway & Review

Check out my review of Thin Love by Eden Butler. I love this crazy train romance. Also enter Eden's giveaway to win a Kindle Fire, gift cards and eBook copies of Thin Love.

Title: Thin Love

Author: Eden Butler

Genre: New Adult/Contemporary Romance crossover

Release Date: August 19, 2014

Add to Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/21945749-thin-love

Synopsis:
Love isn't supposed to be an addiction. It isn't supposed to leave you bleeding.
Kona pushed, Keira pulled, and in their wake, they left behind destruction.
She sacrificed everything for him.

It wasn't enough.
But the wounds of the past can never be completely forgotten and still the flame remains, slumbers between the pleasure of yesterday and the thought of what might have been.

Now, sixteen years later, Keira returns home to bury the mother who betrayed her, just as Kona tries to hold onto what remains of his NFL career with the New Orleans Steamers. Across the crowded bustle of a busy French Market, their paths collide, conjuring forgotten memories of a
consuming touch, skin on skin, and the still smoldering fire that begs to be rekindled.

When Kona realizes the trifecta of betrayal—his, Keira's and those lies told to keep them apart—his life is irrevocably changed and he once again takes Keira down with him into the fire that
threatens to ignite them both.

Author Bio:
Eden Butler is an editor and writer of New Adult Romance and SciFi and Fantasy novels and the nine-times great-granddaughter of an honest-to-God English pirate. This could explain her affinity for rule breaking and rum. Her debut novel, a New Adult, Contemporary (no cliffie) Romance,
“Chasing Serenity” launched in October 2013 and quickly became an Amazon bestseller. When she’s not writing or wondering about her possibly Jack Sparrowesque ancestor, Eden edits, reads and spends way too much time watching rugby, Doctor Who and New Orleans Saints football. She is currently imprisoned under teenage rule alongside her husband in southeast Louisiana.

Spoiler-free review

Thin Love was anything but thin on love.

This crazy train roller coaster romance is about Keria and Kona. Kona is a hot Hawaiian man-whore college football player. He falls for Kiera – who is beautiful, driven and very hot headed. K & K’s story unravels from alternating POV. Their story is filled with violence, addiction and a whole lot of crazy over a 16 year period. Extremely well written and character development was incredible...flawless. There were times I felt that Thin Man was a little long...but I wouldn’t dare skim through this book for the fear of missing anything. One click this one!
