Entangle yourself in the web of sensuality, dominance, and submission!

 


He hunkers down in front of me and lifts my chin with his forefinger. “You know what they say about people having dreams, don’t you?” I barely shake my head from side to side before he lets me in on his little tidbit of information. He smiles, and the emotion doesn’t reach his cold, dead eyes. “They always turn into nightmares.” 

Everly
Her life could only be described as one thing. Perfect. She was beloved by all and had everything that she ever wanted. Or did she? She’s due for her weekly hangout session with dear ol’ Pops when all of a sudden there’s a knock on the front door. Well, who could that be? Was it Dad forgetting his keys? Dad drunk off his rocker? Instead of Dad, she came face-to-face with a man as sinfully gorgeous as a piece of dark chocolate would be to a model – dark hair, impossibly dark eyes, and a body made of pure freaking perfection. Her breath caught in her lungs and instant fear raced up her spine. She had no idea what this man – one who could make even the hardest, coldest women swoon – was there for.

To take her. Own her. And condemn her.

Talon
Otherwise known as Sir or Big and Mighty – is a man who goes above and beyond to get what he wants. Having a rough start in life, he only wants to do one thing – to change one thing – his future. After doing a job for Richard “Dick” Thompson, the only form of payment he wants is – her. Working outside the law had its perks and she was the perkiest of them all – medium height, long dark brown hair, and captivating eyes that seemed to look right into his dark, dead, cold heart. His “edge” begins to soften when he’s near her – becoming weaker, tamer. He can’t let that happen. He needs to keep his mask firmly in place so those around him still see him as the badass-take-no-shit-hardest-motherfucker around. But it’s hard. Man, is it hard. His feelings and actions toward her begin to change. But, it’s too late.

Everly was condemned by him. But he was consumed by her.

Will Talon be able to see what’s right in front of him? Will Everly be able to hide the most important part of herself?

Only time, and a little pain will tell.


Bestselling author L.M. Roberts is a mother of two, completely obsessed with her darling husband of almost nine years, and is a cat mommy to a feisty little tabby named, Mellow, that acts like he’s the shit. (She now realizes she gave him the wrong name when she brought him home.) Her hobbies include writing, writing, and more writing! Besides working her dreaded day job, looking after her family, and attending college full-time to obtain her bachelor’s degree, she enjoys getting lost in her imagination, coming up with tantalizing, steamy, and just pretty much over-the-top romance novels for her readers to devour.

Blog Tour & Review ~ Emilia (Part 1) ~ by ~ Lisa Cardiff

Title: Emilia: Part One
Series: Trassato Crime #3
Author: Lisa Cardiff
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: May 16, 2017
Publisher: Limitless Publishing
Freedom and a meaningful life away from the violence of the Trassato Crime Family is all I ever wanted…

But what I want doesn’t matter now that I’m caught in a tug of war between two men in the dangerous world of organized crime.

Marcello Masciantonio is the man my father expects me to marry. He wants me because I’m the daughter of Dominick Trassato, New York’s most powerful crime boss. He says he’s my future, and I want to hate him, but I can’t deny the spark that burns between us. 

Salvatore D’Amico is perfect. He supports me. He understands me. He’s willing to betray my father and give up his family to have me. He doesn’t care about the power that comes with being part of my family. He wants me for me. 

My choice is simple, right? 

Wrong. 

Everyone has an agenda, including Salvatore and Marcello, and just when I think I have everything figured out, I realize I don’t know a damn thing. 

Truths are lies. Freedom is lonely. But worst of all…

My love triangle is actually a hate triangle.

Amazon Review – “Lisa has given us Another 5 Star Story with her continuation of the Trassato crime family.”

 review
First off, I LOVE Lisa Cardiff books! I started reading her Vegas Cartel series (if you haven’t read it? GO DO IT!!!) and fell. She can write the hell out of a mafia book. Plus all the different languages and bilingual terms of endearment ❤ ❤ .  
Granted, most might find the whole killing/robbing for hire, etc distasteful but you still love the characters. Typically, they’re the people who want to get out of the life or have a conscientious about it.  
Now on to Emilia. Oh Emilia. She didn’t want to be the head of the Italian mafia’s daughter and she certainly does not want to have an arranged marriage with a man who she’s never met and only wants to expand his mafia power. She’s locked away in her father’s house, no longer allowed to go to her only form of sanity, piano lessons. She’s escorted everywhere by Sal, hot captain under her father who is attracted to her. But then there’s Marcello, the man she’s promised to, who revs her engine too. She just doesn’t know who or what she can trust.  
Ends on a cliffhanger – of sorts – but it is part 1. So now I need Part 2 STAT!!! I got wrapped up in Emilia’s story (possibly reading at work…) and now I need the rest!!
5 stars! 
After spending years practicing law and running a real estate development company with her husband, Lisa decided to pursue her dream of becoming a writer and she must confess that inventing characters is so much more fun than writing contracts and legal briefs. A native of Colorado, she lives with her husband and three children in Denver.

Genre: Romance
Release Date: March 31, 2017

 

Summer finally accomplishes her dream of moving to a coastal town in North Carolina. She has instant chemistry with her next door neighbor, Jamie. With a past she’s desperately trying to escape, a relationship is the furthest thing from her mind.

Jamie quickly finds himself head over heels for new neighbor, Summer, but has somehow become just a close friend. Told through the voices of both Summer and Jamie, will Jamie be able to get through her brick wall of friendship? Will he be able to wait for her? Will Summer’s past catch up with her and destroy any chance of happiness she is so desperately seeking?

 

I grip the steering wheel tightly. I’m not doing this. I only have a couple friends here, literally. He seems like someone I could really get along well with. We could become good friends. I close my eyes at the red light for a split second, then snap them back open.
I’ve made up my mind. I make a silent vow to myself, I am done letting my thoughts drift to Jamie in such a manner.
“Jamie, whatever your long ass, Italian last name is,” I sternly say aloud, “you have officially entered the friend zone.”

 

 

 

Brie lives in Ohio with her husband, two children, and dog, Raja. She loves reading and has enjoyed writing since she was a little girl. She enjoys being active, but you can usually find a few cartons of ice cream at her house. Brie is currently a sonographer at a local hospital.

“No, no!” He shakes his head repeatedly. “I gave you all the time you needed. You should have realized by now we were meant to be together. And I come over here and what do I see? You hugging and kissing all over some asshole.” He vigorously shoves his free hand through his hair. “Do you know how that made me feel? This shit ends now,” he screams, his eyes darkening.

 

He lunges toward me with his gun pointing at my face. I scream for help as loudly as I can, “Jam—”
Everything goes black.

Title: Careen
Series: Crown and Anchor Series #3
Author: Kerri Ann
Genre: Dark Romance
Release Date: May 17, 2017

 

Risen
Another day another screw up. I’ve been reprimanded so many times in the past two weeks, you’d think I could get a handle on it–that I could find a way out of this. Hell no. Captain brought me in for another infraction, and if I can’t get this straight I’m off the force. All my family have been cops. My Dad, my Uncles, crap–even my Great Grandfather was a Marshall during Lincoln’s time. If I lose this job and I’m done; what will I do? 
While out on patrol, what I thought was a routine traffic stop for a taillight out on a sleek motorcycle, that’s when I met her. Her jet black hair streams out of her helmet, flowing down her back in a tight braid. That slim body, and her glorious rack, is stuffed tight in a race jacket. She’s amazing to say the least. She’s what dreams are made of. 
That was until I arrested her. 

China
I’m the Doll of Crown Industries. I have everything I could ever ask for, and then some. Nothing was ever hard. What I portrayed to the world, and to my family is a lie. Everyone expects me to be the perfectly manicured, presentable and contained daughter. They think I’m the one that follows the rules, and stays within the lines. 
As my life fell apart, and that perfect ivory tower family crumbled down, could I survive it? Will it crush me?




 


With an avaricious appetite for stories, Kerri Ann can be found quite often with her nose in a book or writing it. On many occasion it has been said that she’s in her own world, living in the stories of those she reads about, giving them a life they deserve.
She can easily be found under a tree in the shade, or reclining at Starbucks scribbling notes about new stories and new characters, all while keeping the coffee chain in business.
Whether late at night, at a music festival, or sitting on a ski lift, when the thoughts arise, Kerri Ann will add them to those in progress. So be wary, your antics could be in her next book.

Blog Tour ~ UltraViolence ~ by ~ Natalie Bennett

Title: UltraViolence
Series: UltraViolence Book One
Author: Natalie Bennett
Genre: Dark Erotic Romance
Release Date: May 11, 2017

 

ULTRA+VIOLENCE
Noun
Random acts of violence with no justification.
Unprovoked, usually brutal.
Done simply for thrill and entertainment.

A sick infatuation.

A volatile obsession,

And a rising body count.

This isn’t your typical love story.

***Warning***
This is a dark erotic thriller. I stepped completely out of the box to write this book. It is strange, ugly, and dirty. These characters have a f**ked moral compass. You may hate one or both of them. I remained true to their personalities from start to finish. This book has taboos and multiple triggers. Extreme violence, harsh language, and dirty kinky sex scenes.


Between the Bookends I L-O-V-E-D this book! I am seriously digging this author’s writing. This was dirty, twisted mind fuckery at it’s best.”

Quill & Ink “This book was a fun, dark, thrill ride! It’s non stop action, with some sexy fun, alot of violence, and a lot of twists! Just wait til you read the end! I can’t wait to read the next book!!”

The Ordinary Housewife “This is a must read for all who love dark twisted books.”

Natalie Bennett has always been an avid fan of all things dark and twisted, so it only made sense for her to write what she loves. She brings to life unapologetic antiheroes you love to hate and strong heroines who refuse to be broken.


Natalie writes Dark and Twisty Erotica with romantic elements. She doesn’t censor her writing and let’s her stories tell themselves. If you pick up one of her books expecting a typical HEA, you won’t find one.

Cat Scratch Fever by Sarah O’Rourke – Blog Tour with Review

Cat Scratch WP Banner

button-synopsis

Beau LaForte felt an internal pull to the beautiful, innocent Alexa Davidson. Oh, this was not the typical boy-meets-girl story. This was anything but typical. You see, Beau was a shifter – a panther – and the alpha of the pack. What his panther wanted, his panther got. And together, they wanted Alexa.
But when Alexa finds the pretty kitty lolling on her bed, she is determined to get him out — before he sheds more on her brand new sheets! Can Beau convince Alexa that she is his mate for life?
Instalove. Shifter romantic comedy. 23K words. Novella.

Cat Teaser Never Loose.jpg

button-excerpt

Taking a deep breath, Alexa drew herself up to her full height and steeled herself for a battle. Although, since she stood just an inch over five feet, she knew her intimidation factor was virtually non-existent, but she had to start somewhere. It was time for her to quit stewing over decisions she could no longer change and instead concentrate on the concrete facts regarding her current situation.

And the fact was there was a flipping cat in her bed! A gigantic feline fiend apparently intent on wrecking what was left of her birthday. Because, yes, there was a cat in her bed, and it was stinkin’ immense. Since when did ordinary cats – even if they were frickin’ panthers – get that big?

The simple answer was they didn’t. EVER.

And an even better question was – Why wasn’t she scared of it?

God knew, it had fangs that promised grim death to anyone that provoked it. Oddly enough, though, she felt not a single ounce of fear or distress standing in front of it. It was like she instinctively knew this animal would never cause her a single second of harm. In fact, the longer she looked into its eyes that glowed in the darkened room, the more convinced she was that the purring beast would do whatever was necessary to protect her. It was like she and the animal had some kind of weird, unspoken connection. It was a bond that she didn’t want and had never asked to share, but one that she couldn’t deny and wouldn’t change even if she could.

How fucked up was that? Maybe this was some kind of voodoo curse one of her disgruntled customers had wished on her when she hadn’t served their coffee quickly enough. Personally, she thought that might be a bit of overkill, but caffeine addicts were serious in Louisiana, and one did not play around when it came to providing quality coffee in the bayou.

“Why couldn’t you be a dog? I could have handled this if you were a dog,” she muttered as she rolled her eyes toward the ceiling and hugged herself. “Especially since I’ve always been a puppy person,” she continued to babble as she shut her eyes and continued chafing her hands up and down her arms as a bizarre electrical charge seemed to ripple through the air inside the tiny bedroom.

“Well, I think it’s safe to say that you are now very much a cat person. Or, at least this cat’s person,” a deep, sexy voice rumbled from the bed. “More specifically, you’re this panther’s person.”

Alexa’s eyes popped open as that rich, deep voice seemed to vibrate through her being. Screaming as she spotted an extremely real — and from what she could tell (even in the darkness) was an oh, so very naked man in her bed — she quickly lunged for the nearest makeshift weapon she could find. Sadly for her, the closest missile she could find was only her television remote, and that merely bounced off her interloper’s sculpted chest.

“Ouch!” her prowler growled, batting away the remote as she continued to screech, blindly searching for another weapon in the mostly dark bedroom. “Alexa, chère, settle down!”

Wait a second? Why did her trespasser know her name? And why did that southern drawl sound so familiar? Making a half-turn on her not-so-steady feet, Alexa fumbled for the light switch on the wall, relieved when her searching fingers found what they were looking for. Flicking the switch, she squinted as her unfocused eyes tried to adjust when the room was suddenly flooded with bright, artificial light. Finally able to see a few seconds later, she couldn’t help emitting a small squawk as she saw the nude man lounging in the center of her bed.

button-review

Anyone who follows my reviews knows by now that I’m not a big paranormal person. Err reader, not that I’m a vampire or witch or what have you… Moving on, this is one of my favorite types of paranormal – shifters. And the shifters who are uber alpha and once they find their mate, that’s it. Which is just what this novella was.

Alexa spends her 21st birthday getting drunk on sangria at her house with a friend. When she is awoken by a panther IN HER BED. And then suddenly there’s no panther but uber hot customer Beau, naked in her bed.

Beau has been giving Alexa time to get to know him and him her but his panther can’t take it any more. She is his and she will know it by the end of the week.

I hope there will be more to this series, maybe Beau’s brother…… 😉

About Confessions of a Former Puck Bunny:

Confession #1: I used to be a puck bunny, but after a hockey player broke my heart, I gave up all things hockey. Now I’m just focused on finding a way to pass my math class so I can graduate college.

Confession #2: Ryder “Ox” Maddox’s deep, sexy voice sends fuzzy tingles through my entire body, and I’m powerless to stop it. Which is a big problem since the hot, surprisingly funny hockey player is my new math tutor.

Confession #3: I can’t stop thinking about how ripped Ryder is from all his hockey training, and how fun it’d be to cross lines with him.

Confession #4: I kissed a hockey player and I liked it.

Confession #5: If I’m not careful, I might relapse and fall for Ryder, and then I’ll be totally pucked.

Anatomy of a Player

Crazy Pucking Love

TBRreview

I loved this book for the title originally and how it was different than most of the college pro athlete and girl. Lindsay wasn’t a “nerd” or “weird girl”. She was a reformed punk bunny. She freely admitted it. So when Ryder “Ox” Maddox, hockey player extraordinaire started flirting with her, she wasn’t having it. She wasn’t that girl anymore and she wasn’t looking to go back there.  

Except Ryder isn’t your typical male college athlete, at least how books portray them. So yeah, Lindsay doesn’t want to be a puck bunny, but Ryder just might sway her to become a 1-puck bunny.  A good, NA book that defies the stereotypical college athlete/puck bunny genre. And for that I am truly appreciative!
