Title: Midnight Mass (Priest 1.5)
Author: Sierra Simone
Release Date: December 8, 2015
Rating: 4.0 stars

We are told that God will punish the wicked. That sinful men will reap what they sow. We are told to scourge our souls with prayer and pain to become clean once again.

Well, here I am. Wicked and sinful. Desperate to become clean…even though it feels so good to be dirty.

But even I never expected what came next.

Even I never expected my punishment to come so soon.

Holy hell. I need to confess that I love this series. Dirty talking Father Tyler Bell is back in this new novella from Sierra Simone. The hot ex-priest and his lovely wife Poppy are trying to strike a balance between work, school, and married life. On top of everyday stresses, Tyler is struggling with guilt “Catholic guilt” and his new path in life. Are Tyler’s fears about his sins turning into a reality? Will he face the wrath of God because of his past?

Midnight Mass is mandatory reading for Priest fans! I devoured this steamy, sexy and intense novella in one sitting.

NEW RELEASE & GIVEAWAY: Sex in Numbers by S.R. Watson & Shawn Dawson

I love rock romances and need to get this one NOW. Check out co-author and cover model Shawn Dawson on the cover of Sex in Numbers!

Awesome release day giveaway below!

Title: Sex in Numbers

Series: S.I.N. Rock Star Trilogy #1

Author: S.R. Watson & Shawn Dawson

Genre: Erotica/New Adult

Release Date: December 8, 2015

BLURB

The name is Diesel Beck and I’m a fucking rock god…or so I’m told. When I get the mic in my hand, women fall to my feet. The sound of my voice is enough to make them wet their panties. Women line up for a chance to fuck me—for a chance to claim me, but I can’t be tamed. My predilection to sex is depraved and I offer no apologies. I rock hard and fuck harder. I’ve never met a woman I couldn’t conquer …until her.
Lourdes Drake walks into my life like a fucking hurricane. She is the sister of my band mate Xander and she is going to be staying with us at the lake house this summer while we work on our music. Her darkness beckons me. I see through the image she desperately tries to project. She hates everything that I stand for, but she has no clue what I’m capable of. She is supposed to be off limits, but her rebellious nature makes my cock jump with excitement. Finally a challenge that I’m more than willing to accept. I will bend her to my will. I won’t stop until I have her complete submission. Consequences be damned.
Get in and get out. That’s the challenge. My dick accepts.

REVIEW: Forbidden by CD Reiss

“He couldn’t punish me for who I was. A whore. A fucker. A sex bag with no goals, no worries, nothing inside her."

Check out my review of Forbidden. This book is a must read.

"Brilliant" - The Rockstars of Romance

"CD Reiss doesn't just publish books. She unleashes them." -- Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews

Synopsis:

Everything about Fiona is forbidden.

She’s a party girl with dark desires.

She’s beautiful, irresponsible, irresistible.

She’s my patient.

I’m her therapist.

I’m past wanting her. Past possessing her. Past bedding her or

protecting her.

I’m willing to be self-destructive, negligent, brave, audacious, and stronger

than I ever believed possible.

She’s blunt force trauma to the heart.

And she calls another man Master.

REVIEW OF FORBIDDEN

Forbidden by C.D. Reiss
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Title: Forbidden
Author: CD Reiss
Release Date: December 1, 2015
Rating: 5.0 stars
Spoiler-free review

Why is this story replaying in my head? Maybe because it was incredible! I finished Forbidden a few days ago and even read a few amazing books since then. I might need a mental health break from the monumental book hangover I have been nursing.

“He couldn’t punish me for who I was. A whore. A fucker. A sex bag with no goals, no worries, nothing inside her.”

Fiona Drazen’s name is synonymous with sex, drugs and the limelight. This poor little rich heiress can’t quench her thirst for drugs and sex. Her full-time job is to be photographed as she tramples through Los Angles as a self-professed “fucker” (her job title description not mine).

“I’m a fucker. It’s what I do.”

She finally lands in an institution after almost killing someone and being labeled a danger to herself. She ends up getting along with her shrink a little too well. Who is going to save Fiona? Her doctor? Her pseudo-BDSM boyfriend and Master, or can she save herself?

The characters in Forbidden are so real and raw (think Paris Hilton and Charlie Sheen). The dark and ugly side of being rich, famous and addicted to sex and drugs obviously does exist. I didn't expect a happy ending; I expected a designer straight jacket in Fiona’s future. CD Reiss did a tremendous job of crafting a Hollywood-worthy epilogue, transporting me to an entirely different time frame in the characters’ lives. If you are in the mood for a sweet love story, unbroken characters or you're afraid to read about a heroine whose girly bits have been visited more times than the Grand Canyon…then turn away now because this book is not for you.

NEW RELEASE & $20.00 GIFT CARD GIVEAWAY - Say You're Mine by Diane Alberts

New Navy SEAL romance from Diane Alberts. Enter for a chance to win a $20.00 Amazon gift card!

Book Summary:
She’s a challenge he can’t afford to lose…

Navy SEAL Steven Thomas has only ever been able to count on three things: waking up in the morning, going to sleep sometime during the night, and Lauren Brixton. She’s been his best friend since grade school, and what they have is the only relationship he’s managed not to ruin.

Until one drunken night puts that all in jeopardy.

Lauren’s watched Steven flit from one-night stand to one-night stand, seemingly not interested in something more. So when the long-ignored attraction between the two of them blows up in their faces, she does the only thing she can—she pretends she doesn’t want him. But all’s fair in love and war, and Steven’s not about to lose the only person in his life who matters…

Book boyfriend finder? There's a new app for that!

Image of Colleen Hoover's Crave application channel

This sounds like a pretty cool app for romance book lovers. For less than a dollar a week, Crave application users will receive unique daily content from select authors including instant notifications, videos, and photos from the lead character.

According to the press release "The Crave Studio scours the world and polls fans to discover actors who resemble the actual book characters so much that they might have well been the inspiration for them. Crave then turns them into real-life stand-ins for their characters, turning the audience’s fantasy into reality."

The first books to launch on Crave are November 9 by Colleen Hoover, followed by books from Abbi Glines and K.A. Tucker.

Paragraph and Atria Launch The CRAVE App - A Totally New Way to Experience Romance Books

Now Available on iOS, coming soon to Android.

NEW YORK (December 3, 2015) – Paragraph and Atria Books, an imprint of Simon & Schuster, today announced the launch of Crave (ThisIsCrave.com) – a new app that matches bestselling authors with the hottest actors to offer romance fans an entirely new reading experience. Crave will be available for download on iOS at launch with Android to follow shortly after.

The first books to launch on Crave are Atria’s November 9, from #1 New York Times bestselling author Colleen Hoover, followed by books from #1 New York Times bestselling author Abbi Glines, and USA Today bestselling author K.A. Tucker.

Subscribers will receive one installment from the book each day, and every new segment of the story is coupled with instant notifications, videos and photos from the lead character. Books are released serially, typically in advance of their official publication date, creating a new reading paradigm where the only place to experience the enhanced story will be in the app.

“The way we consume information has changed dramatically in the past few years,” said Ziv Navoth, Paragraph’s CEO. “We took the romance novel and asked ourselves how can we create an experience that fits the way people like to experience stories these days. The result is Crave.”

The Crave Studio scours the world and polls fans to discover actors who resemble the actual book characters so much that they might have well been the inspiration for them. Crave then turns them into real-life stand-ins for their characters, turning the audience’s fantasy into reality.

“Today’s romance reader isn’t satisfied with simply reading a story,” said Colleen Hoover. “She wants to be immersed in the story and get closer to the characters, while also building a relationship with the author who created them.”

“This is an exciting endeavor for us. Truly the way readers consume, share and talk about books has changed greatly, and with Crave we are able to marry new methods of delivery with high-quality, value-added content to engage readers in an entirely new type of experience,” says Judith Curr, President and Publisher, Atria Publishing Group.

Crave is a subscription-based service. Fans subscribe to an author’s channel for less than a dollar a week ($3.99/month) and receive daily installments from their newest books over a period of 90 days. Crave is available starting today through the Apple App Store [http://bit.ly/1O4NCEE], and will be available soon on Android. Crave requires an iPhone 5s, 6 or 6+ running iOS 8 or later or an Android phone running OS 4.0.3 or later.
