About Captivated by the Light:

Determined to live life on her terms, Jenna Lachlan

focused her energy on growing her business all the while

flying under the radar, but fate had other plans.

Insert the sexy, assertive, and captivating Cameron Rijker

into the fold, and the stakes just got higher. He pushed

her buttons, decimated her comfort zone, and made

her yearn for a life she long since vowed wasn’t

in the cards.

Their attraction was immediate, their chemistry

undeniable, and their connection unparalleled.

However, beneath the surface remained a secret so

big that Jenna would go to any lengths to keep

hidden no matter the cost.

The only downside to anonymity was that you could

never fully trust anyone but yourself.

Exclusive Excerpt:

“Something amusing you, Jenna?” He asked.

“Yes, you.”

“Me?” His spine straightened, and the tension brewing below my waist began building momentum.

“Where’s the dominating man I know—”

“He’s not far away I can assure you.” He interrupted before I could finish.

“It’s not like you to be so willing to hand over control, yet here you are, letting me take the lead on the designs. You’re giving me an awful lot of power. You know that, right?”

“I do.” The edge in his voice was a seductive purr, making me question his agenda.

“I’m not interested in playing games, Cameron,” I replied, fully prepared to go head to head with him.

“I can assure you; I never play games.” His shoulders pushed his upper body back flush against his desk chair while his arms folded across his chest. “When it comes to business,” he added with a cocked eyebrow and a suggestive glint in his eyes. “Business aside, what are your plans for dinner tonight, Jenna?”

I stood up and took my growing frustration out on the laptop as I jammed it in my purse with authority.

“Jenna, I asked you a question.” His brusque tone startled me.

“I don’t know I’ve lost my appetite.” I lied. Irritated by his behavior, I refused to inform him of my plans for heading out of town.

“Hopefully, not because of me?” His voice softened.

Yes, because of you and your mercurial personality disorder, I wanted to say. “I’m not sure really what to think right now.” This man had me exasperated and running in circles.

“What’s with this attitude of yours?”

“My attitude?” My hand flew to my chest as if I’d been stung by his words. “You didn’t sleep in your bed? You barely spoke two words to me in the kitchen this morning. What’s a girl to think? But don’t worry. I get it. You’ve had me now, and it’s time to move on. So for the sake of both of us, let’s not drag this out any longer. I can still keep things professional as long as we are working together if that is a concern.” A sinking feeling pushed down on my chest, threatening my next breath.

“Is that what you really want?” he asked. His expression was unwavering as he studied me intently, searching for a hint as to the direction I was leaning.

No, was my gut reaction. If Cameron was having doubts, I wished he’d be upfront about them.

“Isn’t this what you want?” I twisted his words and threw them back at him.

He stood up and held his hand out to me. “I’d rather show you what I want.”

I needed to keep my composure, stand my ground, and end this now before my emotions delved deeper. However, my head and heart were miles apart as I placed my hand willingly in his.

 

 

 

Title: Blindsided by Darkness

Release Date: September 15th

With everything Jenna had worked toward at risk,

yet everything she’d ever dreamed of to gain, she had

to decide if Cameron jeopardizing her trust was

worth the risk of letting her guard down.

Getting involved with another man was never part of

her plan. However, Cameron wasn’t just any other man.

He was the one. He was an unexpected ray of light

in an otherwise darkened existence.

So, when Jenna’s past and present collide, and viable

threats emerge from the shadows, she finds herself

fighting for the future and a life she hadn’t believed

she was worthy of until Cameron showed her what

it meant to be truly loved.

 

 

 

 

 

Title: Darkness to Light

Release Date: October 13th

When Jenna’s past was called into question, truths

uncovered, and a stunning secret revealed, her world fell

apart in the most earth-shattering of ways.

One so devastating and profoundly painful, there

was no escaping the hollowness that would remain

in her heart until she righted the wrongs of the past.

While Jenna was no stranger to a blindside, nothing

would stand in her way as she fought to reclaim the

life she rightfully deserved. However, being

confronted by one’s worst nightmare, meant her

fortitude would face the ultimate test.

The problem with putting your life on the line was not

everyone would walk away unscathed.

My #MNGIrl eBook Cover

I was hidden so we could be safe.

I survived so I could reclaim my life.

Now, everything has been destroyed by the same evil always lurking in the shadows.

Time is running out and my world keeps unraveling.

All I can do is put my trust in the boy with the messy blond hair, icicle eyes and lips that tell lies.

Can the Midwest Boys protect me?

The body count around town would suggest otherwise.

My job was simple. Keep her alive, make sure she follows the rules and keep her out of trouble.

I’ll win back her trust and keep her safe no matter what it costs me.

The girl with the purple hair and eyes that flare to life when I’m near are my undoing.

She used to be my enemy.

Now death and destruction are following her and loyalty has been stained by spilled blood.

Someone waged a war against Rogue. It’s time to answer back.

I had not heard about this series before but yes, you do need to read book 1, #MNGirl first. This book picks up where that book left off. Saylor, Ciaran, Kai and Silas have definitely changed since we met them in book 1. And I’ve tried for both books to figure out how to say Ciaran and I’ve got nothing. I’m thinking Ci is like “Cee” or “Sy”? I could go either way. You tell me what you think.

This book, well this series, totally took me for a ride. I was not expecting what I read, but that isn’t a bad thing. There is romance, suspense, mystery, intrigue, and so much more. I will be re-reading this book again because I’m sure there are things I’ve missed that I will pick up the next time I read it.

I can’t wait to read more of this series. I need Silas and Kai’s stories STAT! Silas definitely intrigues me and I cannot wait to see his future.

5 stars!

I tell myself I can have three days. Three days to stay under my covers, eyes closed, be numb and drown out the world, before I need to make plans. Everything I thought I knew is gone. The pain in my chest roars and pushes against my organs, until I let a silent scream escape. My whole body hurts. It’s unbearable to do nothing, and yet, I have no energy to get up. I don’t want to face my reality. She was just sitting here, smiling and making plans for a future. Their faces are all I see when my eyes close. Those images on the screen at Rogue are all I see when my eyes are open. I can’t escape and that thought takes my breath away. I’m trapped.

New Release ~ Don’t Like You ~ by ~ Juliet Arya

Title: Don’t Like You

Series: Say Something Book One
Author: Juliet Arya
Genre: Contemporary/NA Romance
Release Date: August 14, 2020
 
I push. She pulls.
I run. She chases.
I leap. She follows.
I fight. She always wins.
 
Even when we didn’t know the meaning of love, we’ve always belonged together.
 
The first time we met, she saw me naked. Then, she grabbed my balls while I howled in pain.
 
That should have been my clue—this girl has owned my balls since day one. But, nah, I am not that bright with matters of the heart. 
 
I had to go and make things complicated.
 
She is my little sister’s best friend. Growing up, she hung around my house and turned into the bane of my existence. Infiltrating my privacy, claiming me as hers.
 
To get rid of her, I came up with a combat strategy. Every time she tried to talk to me, I would say, “I don’t like you.” And that would shut her up.
 
Now, after years of her persistence and teasing, I want to make her mine.
 
But this time, she is the one playing hard to get.
 
Two sexually frustrated adults with one finish line. What can go wrong? Apparently, a lot.
 
Don’t Like You is a coming-of-age story that follows a childhood crush into adulthood, filled with sexual banter and hot moments in between.

“What are you doing?” she asks in a high-pitched, breathy voice. 

“We should have sex.” 

“What? You … you are out of your mind.” She is still studying my body. Her tongue quickly peeks out, licking her lower lip. 

We want the same thing, sweetheart. Sooner or later, you will agree that you are mine. 

“It’s a shame I wasted so many hours at the gym. I worked so hard on my body just for the pleasure of your eyes. I wanted you to enjoy the view when we got naked. See how considerate I am? Always considering the future. Always thinking about you. I am going to die celibate anyway. Might as well give me some pity sex one last time before we break up. Seven-point-five inches of prime meat inside that sweet pussy of yours.” 

She gulps. “I … I … don’t you dare take your pants off. I know what you are doing.” 

“Really? What do you think I am doing?” 

“Seducing me.” 

“Is it working?” I know it is. 

“I am not having sex with you.” 

“Okay, fine, no sex. You owe me a blow job. One blow job, and we are even.” 

“Wait. Can you please stop touching yourself like that? How do I owe you a blow job?” 

She shuts her eyes and then shakes her head like she is trying to get rid of an image in her mind. “Whatever you are doing is not working,” she says, but I can see the rise and fall of her chest. 

I can’t help but grin. “Okay, I have another proposition. Will you change your mind if I offer my services instead of asking you for yours? Let me eat your pussy nonstop for the next twenty-four hours, and we will call it even.” 

A gasp escapes her lips, and I can see a pounding pulse throb on her neck. I want to lick that long neck of hers and suck on her pulse. She squeezes her legs together and swallows. My cock stirs in my pants. I am sporting a semi. My body knows when she is ready. This is us.


Juliet lives in a house of chaos surrounded by the humans she loves. Her skill set includes drinking but never getting drunk, cooking hearty dinners and day dreaming while lusting after hot book boyfriends. She loves romantic rainy day picnics and good innuendoes with equal measure. ‘Don’t Like You’ is her first book.

A life that’s turning into a rollercoaster. A fire that burns her house down. A new crush that isn’t telling her everything…⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Jen had a rough start of her adult life when she got pregnant and lost both her baby and her ex. But that was ten years ago. Now she pairs wine and food for parties for a living and loves her life. It’s all about to get even better when she meets Jake at the Best Draft’s opening party. But when she loses her house in a fire, her world is turning upside down yet again. ⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
Jake’s heart was broken when his fiancé left him at the alter with only a note on a cocktail napkin saying “I’m sorry, I cant.” Ever since that moment, he has a hard time trusting people. But when he meets Jen, he knows she’s his soulmate. He offers her his guestroom for her to live in but he chides himself. Afterall, how could he live in the same space as someone who he thinks of every second of the day? And would she still want to live with him when she finds out more about him?⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣
In order to move on, both Jen and Jake have to face their past. But when miscommunications lead to misunderstandings, Jen and Jake face even bigger challenges. Will they be able to fix this?

Jake is just too cocky – at least when he sees “Red” Jen and decides he needs to meet her. And Jen is not impressed when Jake shows up and is all sorts of over confident with her. That is not what she’s looking for at all.

Jen ends up homeless, her apartment had burnt down and she just doesn’t know what to do. While pouring over her woes with her friend when wouldn’t you know it, Jake shows up. But Jake, is actually helpful and offers her a room in his cabin in the woods – no, this isn’t a murder mystery.

I liked Jen and Jake’s chemistry, even though they both were keeping secrets from each other. Eventually they worked it out and alls well that ends well :).
