Review & Giveaway - The Rocker Who Shatters Me by Terri Anne Browning



Check out my review and author giveaway of The Rocker Who Shatters Me by Terri Anne Browning


SYNOPSIS:

The Rocker Who Shatters Me
A Bet…
Yes, I made a bet with my best friend—my now ex-best friend. It had been a stupid, heat of the moment kind of thing. I’d just wanted to get her out of my system and move one. Instead I’ve lived to regret it ever since. I lost the girl I loved, a girl that possessed my very soul. Now I can’t even get close to Natalie. She thinks all she ever meant to me was just the means to the end of a stupid, stupid game.
…For a Bet!
In the span of one night I’d gone from thinking I had a future with the man I loved to SHATTERED at his feet. I can’t get over it. The pain is too strong, too destructive as it festers more and more inside of me. And then my friend came up with the perfect revenge for both our broken hearts.
“I bet you…”
Those three little words gave me a reason to ball my pain up and throw it back in Devlin Cutter’s face. I would let him back in, let him think he had a chance with me once again. And then I would walk away, leaving him broken and bleeding at my feet as he once had left me.
This time he would be the one SHATTERED.

Review of TRWSM
The Rocker Who Shatters Me (The Rocker, #9)The Rocker Who Shatters Me by Terri Anne Browning
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Sometimes winning isn’t what it’s cracked up to be. Devlin and Zander made a bet to see who could be the first one to sleep with Natalie.  Natalie finds out about the bet and is devastated.  She thought they had something real. Devlin fell for Natalie, and it looks like he lost his girl… Can Devlin make Natalie believe she's the one?  Will more secrets and lies tear them apart?

While I liked TRWSM – it wasn’t my favorite installment in this nine book series.  Terri’s writing was great; this story was crazy, sexy steamy….I just didn’t love the characters so much.  Dev and his hair obsession got on my nerves, and Nat could be a little too immature.  If you are a fan of this series (like I am), you have to one click this one.

Cadence (Deception #2) by Ker Dukey & D.H. Sidebottom is LIVE

I am reading Cadence right now! Check it out and 
don't forget to read Facade (Deception #1).   Look for my review later this week!

::::BOOK INFO::::
Title: Cadence (Deception #2)

Authors: Ker Dukey & D. H. Sidebottom

Genre: Erotic Romance

Cover Design: Ker Dukey

Photographer: Clyph Jean Philippe

Cover Model: Florian Julien Dutheil


::::SYNOPSIS::::
Cadence

Cade.

He had her love. Her devotion. He destroyed her with it!

Years I loved Faye Avery from a distance, watched my brother have something he didn't deserve. She was always too good for him. Dante had a need for control and that grew with him from childhood, infecting her to bend to his whim.

When Dante abandoned her, the girl who put his future and needs before her own, I rediscovered the girl who lost herself to the heartache. She blossomed and flourished in the light of the love she deserved - until he robbed me of her. Breaking her down, dimming the essence of the woman she had become.

Dante had a darkness inside him that led him down a path of depravity. He was too far gone. He functioned on corruption, humiliation, power and retribution, and all for something that never happened.

What he forgets is this! I not only wear his face, I carry the darkness inside of me too, and my wrath will coat him with it so thick he will drown under the rain of my reckoning.

He wants Star, a memory of a girl he used to know. He stole Faye, a woman who owns my heart and is the cadence in mine.

I will find him.

I will take her from him.

And then I will kill him.

::::MEET THE AUTHORS::::

KER DUKEY

I have always had a passion for storytelling, whether it be through lyrics or bed time stories with my sisters. I wanted to be an actress growing up so I could live many roles but I learned early on that my mind was too active... I would want to change the script.I would watch films and think of ways they could of improved the story if they took another direction so i thought it best that i tell my own.

My mum would always have a book in her hand when I was young and passed on her love for reading, inspiring me to venture into writing my own. I tend to have a darker edge to my writing. Not all love stories are made from light, some are created in darkness but are just as powerful and worth telling.

When I'm not lost in the world of characters I love spending time with my family. I'm a mum and that comes first in my life but when I do get down time I love attending music concerts or reading events with my younger sister.

You can find me on Facebook where i love interacting with my readers.

Cover Reveal - Jake Understood by Penelope Ward

Check out this Jake Understood. Add this one to your reading list!

Title: Jake Understood
Author: Penelope Ward
Publication Date: March 2015

Blurb:

From the New York Times bestselling author of Jake Undone, comes a full-length companion novel. 

A different side to the story: Jake’s side. 

“We’re getting a new roommate,” they said. 

I thought nothing of it…until she walked in the door. Her hand trembled in mine as she looked at me with fearful eyes. My entire world spun on its axis. 

Nina… 

It was a mismatch made in heaven: innocent girl from the boonies moves in with tattooed, pierced, badboy engineer.  

I came up with a bet, a plan to tutor her in math and coach her through her phobias. What I wasn’t betting on was becoming addicted to her.

But I was living a double life on weekends, and once she found out about it, she’d be gone.

I had to protect myself and that meant one thing: I couldn’t fall in love. 

**In Jake Understood, pivotal scenes from Jake Undone are retold from Jake’s point of view combined with all-new material that will give readers a never-before-seen glimpse into Jake’s past, present and future. It can stand alone but if both books are read, should follow Jake Undone.

Are you getting very twisted? Cover Reveal: Very Twisted Things by Ilsa Madden-Mills

Very Twisted Things (Briarcrest Academy #3)
by Ilsa Madden-Mills 
Release Date: January 2015

Vital Rejects front guy Sebastian Tate never imagined his YouTube music video would go viral, sky-rocketing him to acting success in Hollywood. Okay, maybe he did. After all, he’s a cocky dude who knows he’s hot-as-hell, and it was only a matter of time before his stars aligned.

But life in Tinseltown is never what it seems.

His only rule to falling in love is simple: Keep Calm and Don’t Do It. So, spying on his mysterious new neighbor with binoculars seems innocent enough, but quickly escalates into an erotic, twisty game between two very unlikely people.

Twenty-one-year-old Violet St. John is a world-renowned violinist in a funk. On the run from a less than stellar fiancé, her talent is off and she’s afraid to step on stage. She hides away in a borrowed Hollywood mansion, trying to find her way through her twisted past in order to make her future.

He’s the life of the party with girls chasing him down for his autograph. She’s the introvert with a potty mouth who doesn’t even know who he is.

When they meet, stars collide, sparks fly, and clothes come off. Yet, giving his heart to a girl isn’t Sebastian’s plan; trusting a guy who craves attention isn’t Violet’s.

Welcome to Briarcrest Academy—Hollywood style—where sometimes the best things in life are VERY TWISTED THINGS.

Review of Midnight Heat
Midnight Heat (Black Phoenix #2)Midnight Heat by Sarah Grimm

Title:  Midnight Heat (Black Phoenix #2)
Author: Sarah Grimm
Series: Yes
Release Date: December 2, 2014
Rating: 4.00 stars
Cliffhanger: No
Spoiler-free review

It was like any other night in the hospital for Dr. Rebecca Dahlman....until her ex ended up as her patient in the ER.  Dominic Prince is a smoking hot British rock star who broke Rebecca’s heart years ago.  Rebecca professed her love to him, and he left her.  Dom let his childhood abandonment issues get in the way and he ran off leaving the love of his life.  Will these two get a second chance?  Can they put all of their issues behind them and move forward?

I enjoyed this second chance love story and was captivated from the first page to the last. I will admit that I wish I read After Midnight (Book #1) first…but this book can be read as a standalone.  I loved the characters (especially Dom).  Great rock star romance with a sweet HEA.  How did I not know about Sarah Grimm before this book?  I enjoyed her writing style!

~ About the Author ~
Sarah Grimm is a wife and mother of two—five if you count her much-loved dogs. She resides in beautiful West Michigan, near the white sandy beaches of Lake Michigan.
The youngest of four, Sarah can’t remember a time when she wasn’t writing. In fact, her siblings believe she began writing in utero to pass the time. As a child, Sarah wrote constantly, littering the house with bulging spiral notebooks and ignoring the ribbing of her mother and sister who routinely said romances? in a somewhat scornful tone. Little did they know, Sarah would go on to win a 2011 Readers Favorite Award for her romantic suspense, Not Without Risk, and her interracial contemporary romance, After Midnight would both final in the 2012 Gayle Wilson Award of Excellence, as well as win the 2012 Romance Through the Ages Award.
Vivacious and imaginative, Sarah spends much of her day managing the family marine repair business while listening in on the lives of her characters. In the evening, she writes it all down, weaving the story as she goes. She says this method works well for her, except on the days when her hero and heroine insist on a steamy love scene while she’s answering the telephone or doing the taxes!
When asked what he thinks of her choice of genres, Sarah’s husband grins wickedly and answers, “It makes for interesting evenings.” Hmmm.

Review of Easy Virtue

Easy Virtue (Virtue, #1)Easy Virtue by Mia Asher
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title:  Easy Virtue (Virtue, #1)
Author: Mia Asher
Release Date: December 3, 2014
Rating: 5+ stars
Cliffhanger: YES
Spoiler-free review

“My body is my only tool, and spreading my legs open is my superpower. So if they want it, they better work for it—pay for it.” Blaire didn’t have a picture perfect childhood.  She was a lonely “ugly duckling” who was desperate for her parents to love and adore her…she wanted to be noticed.  Her dreams of being worshiped came true when she morphed into a beautiful young woman.  At a very young age, Blaire learned to use her body to garner the attention she craved and the special gifts it could bring her.

Blaire is a beautiful disaster. She felt beautiful on the outside and ugly and worthless on the inside. She turns into a gold-digging slut who likes to do nothing more than to be swathed in Gucci and pick her teeth with 100 dollar bills. She will only date men who can keep her in her expensive lifestyle. Blaire doesn't expect to be loved; she wants money and to be adored by rich men who think her pussy is paved in diamonds.

“I’ve always known who I am.  No point pretending I’m a good girl with great values because that would be a complete lie. I like money too much. I like the safety it offers.  The power. And all the things I can buy with it.”

“I will always have the last say in what goes on in my life.  I’ve gone through too much not to.  And if that means maybe getting involved with someone who is actually will to pay me to sleep with him at the expense of feelings, so be it. I don’t care.”

She meets two men. Ronan isn’t wealthy, but for the first time she feels love for something other than money.  Old habits die hard, and Blaire starts to date Lawrence, who is a mega-millionaire. He might be her winning lottery  ticket to the bank account she also thought she wanted. He might make her forget about Ronan.

“Would it be so unforgivable if I stole a few more forbidden and happy moments with Ronan before he realizes how unworthy of anything remotely close to love I am? I’ve tasted heaven in Ronan’s arms and I don’t want to leave just yet.  Is it selfish of me.  Maybe.  Is it reckless of me? Definitely.”

This is where I tell you to stop reading this review and tell you to buy this book and see what happens. BUT FIRST, let me say that Mia Asher knocked it out of the park with her second book – Easy Virtue. She delivered a memorable story filled with raw and rich emotion.

This fast paced “unputdownable” book captivated me from the first to the last page. Easy Virtue is easily one of my top recommendations of the year! I will warn you that there is a cliffhanger…but don’t let that stop you cliffhanger haters from missing out on this incredible book.

Excerpt
Part I

Innocence 
Past
What is love?
I don’t know. 
I’ve never had it. 
Is it even real?
No, I don’t think so. I mean, how can I believe in love when I’ve never witnessed it? When it seems to only exist in books and films, or in the lives of more fortunate people than me? Trust me, I know. 
Love is my personal chimera. 
I am gazing at brown eyes, admiring the richness of the color, the beauty of the man to whom they belong to.
“You’re so beautiful, Blaire … so wet,” he murmurs, his hand going between my legs as he begins to rub me. His fingers spread me open to their soft invasion, tuning my body to his wants and needs, preparing me to be taken as the hot friction of his touch lights a wild fire within my body. It’s not the first time he has touched me like this, but each time feels better and better—the sensations all-consuming and heady.
One finger. 
Two fingers. 
One finger.
Two fingers.
Over and over again.
His invasion is fast and slow, deep and shallow. His touch is soiled heaven.
As I open my legs wider for him, I wonder if it feels this good because of him or because I’m taking something that doesn’t belong to me and making it mine. 
“Oh God … I love you, Blaire. I love you … I love you …” he pants in my ear.
“Don’t stop … it feels so good,” I breathe.

Synopsis:
Looking for the perfect mix of smart, sexy, and sassy? Mai Tai’d Up continues New York Times bestselling author Alice Clayton’s Cocktail series, which began with Wallbanger and continued with Rusty Nailed and Screwdrivered.

The gossip mill in the seaside community of Monterey is churning about Chloe Patterson, the newcomer who is starting a sanctuary for rescued pit bulls. It’s rumored that she’s a former beauty queen (true) who ditched her fiancé the morning of their wedding (also true). And that while she’s not looking for a new man, the good-looking local veterinarian has his eye on her. Absolutely, positively true.

When Lucas Campbell isn’t at the family veterinary clinic, he’s paddle boarding in Monterey Bay. Recently single, he’s definitely not in the market for a new relationship, but he still can’t resist taking a second, third, and fourth look at the recent arrival of Miss Golden State.

Neither Lucas nor Chloe has any interest in being tied down. Being tied up, however—now there’s a thought. But are a few Mai Tais, a moonlit night, and the music of Frank Sinatra enough to allow them both to forget their past? Let’s hope Ol’ Blue Eyes knows what he’s doing.

Mix one part tiki, one part kinky, and a splash of old black magic matchmaking, and it’s time to be . . . Mai Tai’d Up.

“Nuh uh,” Meredith replies with a frown. “But fuck does!”
“Drunk and fuck do not rhyme,” Mark says with a surprised laugh.
“It’s closer than sex,” she says defensively.
“Everything rhymes with sex when you get to have it with an apa,” Jules says.
“Julianne,” Nate warns her.
“It’s true!”
“What’s that like, anyway? I’ve always wanted to know.”
“You can’t have sex with my husband.” Jules frowns for a second, then a smile spreads over her gorgeous face. “Well, maybe you can.”
“No,” Nate replies quietly, “she can’t. No offense, Alecia.”
“None taken.” I grin at the crazy-hot man. “You’re hot as fuck, though.”
“He really is,” Jules agrees happily. “And the apa…wow.”

Title:Looking at Forever
Author: Ann Lister
Release Date: November 30, 2014


Synopsis:
Mick Wheland, Ivory Tower's bad-boy guitarist, has recently realized two important things about himself. He prefers sex with men over women, and the idea of a committed relationship doesn't scare him as much as it once did. He's seen the positive effects of love from watching his band-mates find life partners, and now he's thinking he might be ready for the same himself. The problem is knowing where to look for Mr. Right, and living out of a suitcase while touring with a band is not exactly conducive to finding real love.
Sonny (Rooster) Roostarelli leaves the seclusion of his Vancouver cabin, where he went to lick his wounds after a contentious divorce, and moves back to Los Angeles. He claims relocating to L.A. is for business purposes, but now that the dust has settled on his failed marriage, Rooster feels he might finally be ready to settle down – with a man.
A chance encounter for Wheland and Rooster on a busy L.A. street rekindles an old friendship between the two professional musicians. Rooster needs a short-term place to stay and Wheland has plenty of extra space at his hillside estate and that lands Rooster in Wheland's guest room. What starts out as a music collaboration opportunity quickly turns personal when the chemistry they have becomes too strong to ignore and soon the music they're making spills from the studio and into the bedroom.

The road is a grueling bitch musicians love to hate. Being on stage under the hot lights can sometimes be the only place they feel comfortable and alive. Can two high-profile rock stars make a life together in such an artificial world – on and off the stage... or will past mistakes and family secrets keep them from finding their forever?

Leon's Way by Sunniva Dee - Cover Reveal & $50.00 Gift Card & Book Giveaway


Author: Sunniva Dee
Release Date: December 19, 2014

I’m Leon, number one object of Deepsilver’s rumor mill. Owner of student hotspot, Smother.
Since I was sixteen, the world has been mine. I do everything—

Every co-ed in town clenches her thighs over me, but most don’t fit the bill. See, I like my girls broken. Once I detect my shade of don’t-give-a-fuck damaged, I fight hard, I fight dirty, and I don’t give up until—

Drunk fathers and frequent beatings don’t merit attention, but when my despicable dad starts the process of croaking, I’m forced to remember. Thus, the downward spiral begins: my latest broken-girl turns the tables on me and splits. My hot-as-hell employee, Arriane, throws me the curve ball of a lifetime. And

But at the center of my chaos, she exists. Always close, always sweet, and so beautifully fucking…
wholesome. She represents everything I’ve shied from in a woman. Still—

I’m Leon, and I don’t deny my cravings. Just—this girl is not surrendering. So here I am, fighting harder.

Fighting dirtier. And goddammit all, I will— The man I’ve loved for years is going ballistic. Books, glasses, and candles ricochet off the walls and crash to the floor. The low growl contained in his throat unleashes as he hurls his stereo at the window, making the glass panes shatter on impact.

Excerpt:
“She fucking left me for him!”

He spins and locks on me. When Leon stares at you, he consumes you. He traps you in a small, flustered vacuum where he’s all that matters. “Leon… you’ll be okay,” I begin, but my voice trembles.

I can’t wrap my mind around this meltdown. Nothing ruffles him, nothing surprises him; in all my years at the club, I’ve never seen fissures in the marble of my boss’ beautiful façade. With the exception of his girlfriends, everything he touches remains orderly, and yet he’s losing it so completely right now.

This state he’s in… It doesn’t rock my need to be there for him. I—

He’s my love. My unreciprocated love, because I am just Arriane, his left hand, the favorite bartender. Not one of the dolls he breaks.

Leon’s chest lifts and sinks with his turmoil. “I’ve never worked to keep someone the way I did with her.

Fuck, I did everything I could while all he needed to do was barge into Smother. He fucking stole her from under my nose!” Angry tears glitter, drifting over surreally blue irises.

“Stole?” He’s delusional.

About The Author


About the author
Originally from Norway, I moved to the United States twelve years ago. I hold a Master’s degree in
languages and taught Spanish at college level before settling in at the Savannah College of Art and Design. I write New Adult fiction, sometimes with a paranormal twist—like in “Shattering Halos,” published by The Wild Rose Press in February 24th 2014 and in “Stargazer,” estimated release date, November 2014. The first book I’m self-publishing is the New Adult Contemporary novel “Pandora Wild Child,” which will make me a proud indie author in October 28th 2014!
I specialize in impulsive heroines, bad-boys, and good-boys running amok. Then, there’s the intense love, physical and emotional attraction beyond reason—sensory overload for the reader as well as for the characters. Like in real life, I hope you’re unable to predict what comes next in my stories.
Yes, so I write what I love to read, and depending on the reader, you’ll find my books to be a fast-paced emotional rollercoaster—or disturbing because the struggles of love aren’t your thing. Here’s to hoping.

FOREVER FOUND by Nazarea Andrews
Coming December 30th, 2014
Contemporary Romance Novella
Neverland Lost, #2


BLURB:

Losing Gwen was one of the hardest things I've ever had to survive. I've never loved anyone the way I love her.

But finding her was never about that. And now that I have found her--now that she knows the truth about me and the Island, I have to trust her to believe. Because her leaving me didn't just destroy me--its killing Neverland.

I need her to love me. But we all need her to believe again.

Peter Pan has grown up and found the girl who left--but the stakes are higher than ever in this romantic conclusion to the story begun in Girl Lost.


EXCERPT:

Gwen is leaning against the window. Every time I leave her, I forget. She’s not all gangly limbs and huge eyes and dirty hair hanging in her face, flinching at her own shadow.  Not anymore. That Gwen still haunts my island, but this—this Gwen is breathtaking.

She thinks she’s broken. Fractured pieces of a broken mind, held together by medication and stubborn denial. But she doesn’t see herself, not the way I do.

Lane had that right. She’s breathtaking—even now, when I know she’s sad and broken. She stands straight, a pair of thin sleep pants curving around her ass before falling loose and free to the floor. Her shoulders are back, graceful and strong, under the thick sweater she’s wearing, her hair pulled into a messy knot at the top of her head.

Title: ‘Til Death: Volume One
Series: ‘Til Death #1
Author: Bella Jewel
Release Date:  November 25, 2014


SYNOPSIS
They say there's a fine line between love and hate.
There is.
I married a douchebag.
I didn't know it at the time.
He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.
I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.
Then he left me high and dry.
Turns out, I was nothing more than a business plan for billionaire playboy, Marcus Tandem.
He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.
I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.
I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.
With my world spinning on its axis, the girl I once was has long since died.
Instead he left me as this empty, emotionless shell.
I may have made a vow before God to love and cherish him ‘Til Death do we part, but it’s time for me to give back to Marcus, exactly what he gave me.
He has to pay.
And pay he will.
*This is part of a two book series and it will contain a HEA – Readers over 18+

Review of 'Till Death
'Til Death ('Til Death, #1)'Til Death by Bella Jewel
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Title:  ‘Till Death ('Til Death #1)
Series: Book one of two.
Author: Bella Jewel
Release Date: November 25, 2014
Rating: 3.50 - 4.00 stars
Cliffhanger: YES

Marcus is a billionaire playboy who has zero interest in getting
married.  At the reading of his grandfather's will, he learns that he has to get married and stay married for two years in order to inherit the family business that he has run for ten years.  Marcus (literally) runs into a beautiful woman named Katia and sparks fly.  A one-night stand turns into a whirlwind marriage proposal.  Katia is head over heels in love with Marcus. She knows he isn’t warm and loving to her…but she believes he loves her.  Everything changes one night when Katia learns the truth about Marcus. This is all I can say…without giving the plot away. I do want to mention that there is a cliffhanger. Marcus is definitely a tool and I’m not sure that I liked him that much. Katia annoyed me a bit since she was so clueless. With that said…I need to find out what happens with this marriage made in hell. When is the second book in this series coming out?  I need it
now.
