What do you do when the one you least expect to matter…

Ends up mattering the most?

Derek Pearson likes to think he’s an easygoing guy. Uncomplicated, upfront, and unapologetic with what he wants. His what you see is what you get attitude is on prominent display for anyone who cares to look, and his foul mouth is right there to back it up should you miss the point.

However, what you see isn’t always what you get, and only a select few have ever glimpsed the real man under the brash exterior.

Among them? Professor Jordan Devaney. Complicated, high-maintenance, and vibrant, he’s Derek’s opposite in every way. From the moment they saw each other, a love-hate relationship began.

But what happens when one person wants more?

REVIEW of Devil's Kiss
Devil's Kiss (Sunset Cove, #2)Devil's Kiss by Ella Frank
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
4.5 - 5.0 stars
Title: Devil’s Kiss
Author: Ella Frank
Release Date: May 22, 2016
No cliffhanger

Once again Ella Frank puts the man in roMANce. Derek and Jordan’s slow burning, second chance love story is a perfect mix of the feels, angst, and heartfelt romance. We first meet the unlikely couple in Finley (Sunset Cove #1). Derek is a tattooed gym-rat college student. Jordan is a wealthy, young college professor. They become roommates and friends but avoid crossing any emotional and physical boundaries.

“Most days he was convinced that Jordan was the devil. A beautiful seduction put in his path to offer salvation at the cost of one thing—his soul. It was those days that Derek told himself he should steer clear, and he’d finally managed two full months without craving him in some fucking way.”

It all changed one night, which lead to years of tears and tension. Will these two finally get it together to find love and happiness? I'm not going to spoil it for you. I would recommend reading Finley before reading Devil's Kiss to fully appreciate the history behind this love story.

Finley (Sunset Cove series, #1)

AMAZON Universal - myBook.to/Finley

It's time to come home, Finn.

It’s been seven years since Daniel Finley left his hometown in Florida for the hustle and bustle of Chicago’s city life.
Since then, he’s worked hard for his position at the prestigious law firm Leighton & Associates, even when it’s caused distance and isolation from his family and friends. But that’s all about to change.

On his thirtieth birthday, he receives the one thing he never dared hope for. Something that was promised to him years earlier—a note. One simple sentence from the man he’s never been able to forget.

Six words will forever change the course of their lives.

Brantley Hayes has it all. Or so he thinks. When he first made the decision to take a job down in Florida, his family thought he was crazy. But, after years of living in the quiet beach town, he finally feels a sense of community. He’s surrounded himself with friends who are like family, has a job he loves, and owns a spectacular beachfront property that is his sanctuary.

Yet he still feels unfulfilled, as if a piece of the puzzle is missing, and he knows exactly which piece it is. On an impulse, he follows through with a promise he made years earlier. A promise to call home the one he sent away.

Nothing is as simple as it seems.

After years of separation, the former lovers are reunited, but Brantley wasn’t expecting to encounter the high walls now guarding Daniel’s heart. 

Daniel may not be the same person he was when he left, but he knows that the first step to healing is the note in his hand.

THE CALL

Present Day

DEREK PEARSON PUSHED open the door of Leighton, Finley & Associates, and stepped out on the paved sidewalk. It was the first day of August, and if the sweltering Floridian sun was any indication, today was going to be hotter than hell’s waiting room.
As he strolled toward the curb, he pulled a pack of Marlboros from the pocket of his shorts and flipped open the top. He needed a fucking cigarette after watching Daniel Finley and his damn professor get all sappy and shit. That was gonna get old real quick if he had to stomach their nauseating displays of I love yous longer than the fifteen minutes he’d been in there. But he’d known he had to make an appearance sooner or later; otherwise Danny boy would’ve shown up asking questions. Questions he wasn’t ready to answer.

New Book News: ScrewMates by Laurelin Paige & Kati McGee

This book looks like the ultimate romantic comedy? Maybe just some sexy fun and a side order of the feels? Maybe all three? I can't wait to read ScrewMates! Add this one to your reading list!


Screwmates 
by Laurelin Paige and Kayti McGee

Synopsis: 
I knew from the first time I saw Marc Kirby that I was screwed.

Big eyes, scruffy face, brown curls – yes, yes, and yes. The man is wicked hot.

He’s also my roommate, and since I work nights and he’s at class all day – it’s like living alone at half the rent.

Then an unexpected night off turns into an unexpected morning in Marc’s bed and an even more unexpected realization that both of us are terrible in the sack. 

This is not great news for Marc who’s going on a “bangcation” at the end of the summer – a whole month in France that he’s planned to spend getting busy with the women of Paris. 

It’s also not great news for me for obvious reasons.

With both of us needing work on our skills, there’s only one logical solution to our predicament. 

Told you I was screwed.

http://bit.ly/1TBWDfn

Synopsis:
Kate Novak, DVM, was only seventeen when she wrapped her car around a tree while crying over a broken heart. That night in the rain, her carelessness also took an innocent life. Since that moment, she has made it her life goal to pursue veterinary medicine, pouring her heart and soul into rescuing and healing the abused and neglected. After all, animals have the power to heal us like no human can.

SSGT Jason Trent has spent the last eight years performing medical miracles four thousand feet in the air. As a Flight Medic within the Army’s Medevac Unit, his job has always been to keep injured soldiers from dying. While on a routine recovery mission, one wrong step on an IED changed his life forever, altering everything we take for granted.

One holiday changes everything, especially since Jason’s brother is engaged to Kate’s sister, tying them together in ways that stretch the boundaries of family.


Can two broken souls endure past pains and heal together, becoming whole again? Some things are just out of our control.

Excerpt
“Everyone has a demon inside them. That voice of self-loathing, of questioning our purpose and worth. But everything in life has balance. A counterbalance. The light in the darkness. Every breath we take, each choice… We all struggle, Jason. Every day. You aren’t the only one. But that’s what life is all about. Of counting our blessings. Of seeing the moments of beauty that are right in your face. But you’re too busy feeling sorry for yourself and allowing the cowardice of others to blind you.”
He scoffed. “Cowardice?”
“You think there’s bravery in suicide? Or this slow death of yours? It’s a copout. You want to label yourself as brave, you fight—every second of the day if you have to. You never, ever give up. You fight until the end.”

About the Author

I had my first library card at the age of four. My mom was a part-time librarian at the Coplay Library in Coplay, Pennsylvania for 29 years, where I spent a good portion of my time growing up attending “story hour” every day after school. 

I always chose the hot pink colored carpet to sit on to listen to the amazing stories that were read to us and eventually begged my parents to install the same hot pink carpeting in my bedroom. That’s when I learned that “wall to wall” carpeting DIDN’T mean that my walls would be covered in hot pink carpeting too. It was a sad day.

My education and background is in Business Analysis, Corporate Training, Banking, Accounting, and IT Design – but that was just to pay the bills. Creative, artsy stuff – from jewelry design to painting and writing – have always been my passion.

I live a quiet, drama-free life in Pennsylvania with my husband, our nine year old son who is growing like a weed, a Keeshond that sheds like crazy, two very lively mini Schnauzer puppies, and an Eclectus Parrot who thinks he’s a dog and mommy’s boyfriend.
