#RLRD-10 “You’ve been on the shelf for a few years now, but I’m back to claim you and won’t be stopping until you’re a dripping, sloppy mess at my feet.” My heart skips a beat with his tempting words. They drag me back to a time where I would have dropped to my knees and volunteered myself to be the mess he wants me to be—and done so happily. Except, I’ve changed. My hands come up and shove at his chest, noting the texture of leather beneath my palms. He allows it, falling back a step. “Is that what you want, Ryker? Is that what it’ll take to make this all go away? If we fuck, will you be able to move on? One last trick and we can both go our own ways.” I tame the anger from my voice, aiming for rational instead with my next words. “You’re a free man, Ryker. You can start the life you should have had. Do it. Don’t waste more of your time on me. Let’s move on.” I swallow before adding, “High school was fun, but we’re long past that stage in our lives.” Silence. Not the he-doesn’t-want-to-say-anything silence. No—the deadly, I’m-ready-to-fuck-you-up silence instead, but I hold firm, biting down on my bottom lip to avoid disclosing how he makes my legs go weak with the desire to respond to his authority. Right when I think I’ve won, my head thumps on the wall behind me, and the breath I do have gets trapped in my lungs as his grip clamps down tightly on my throat. White spots decorate my eyes instantly and my hands fly up to his, nails scratching at his skin to get free. “Listen to me, doll. You do not make the decisions here. You do not deem when we’re done. You. Are. Mine. You have been since the first day you walked into high school, and you can thank—” He breaks off, continuing to keep his secrets to himself. “We’re not finished until I say we are.”

Blog Tour & Review ~ When I Say Yes ~ by ~ Lisa Renee Jones

Title: When I Say Yes
Series: Necklace Trilogy #3
Author: Lisa Renee Jones
Release Date: January 25, 2022
ABOUT WHEN I SAY YES
I believe that there is one person in this world that can both break us and make us whole. One person who can love us more than life can hurt us. With this comes deep, intense passion, and a burning connection. But in turn, that person can destroy us, cut us, make us bleed in ways no other ever could. They have power over us.
For me, that one person is Dash Black.
He walked into my life in a rush of sunshine, in the darkness of heartache and uncertainty. We were broken apart, and whole together. He healed me. I believed I did the same for him. Until the past became the present, and every moment of suffering in his life consumed him. Instead of seeking refuge in me, he pushed me away. As the famous quote from an unknown author says, “If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it’s yours; if it doesn’t, it never was.”
I’ve set Dash Black free. Now, I wait.

 

When I Say Yes is the third and final book in the Necklace Trilogy.
 

 

EXCERPT
Dash carries me to the bedroom and lowers me to my feet at the end of the mattress. I reach for him, and I can feel his need to feel my hands on his body, but instead of caving to that burn, he catches my wrists again. “Not until I say you can touch me.”
Defiance rips through my body and my chin tilts. “And if I touch you anyway?”
“Then you won’t feel my hand on your ass, baby. Or anywhere else.” He drags me closer, aligning our bodies. “You know what I want. Tell me. What do I want, Allie?”
“Control,” I say without hesitation, but there’s a hint of vulnerability in my voice that I cannot tame. Just as I know I will never tame Dash. And the thing is—I don’t want to. In fact, I want the opposite. I want him unleashed. I want him wild and free.
“Are you going to give it to me?” he presses. “Can you trust me that much, Allie?”
Trust.
That’s the monster that torments each of us in our own minds and yet, we want it from each other, we demand it be given blindly, irrationally perhaps, but it doesn’t seem to matter. So much about how Dash and I approach each other is irrational and yet somehow, we make sense. And so I say, “I already do.”
He turns me to face the bed, one hand cupping the side of my neck under my hair, the other on my waist, his hard body at my back. Dash leans in close and says, “I can be demanding, Allie.”
My mind flashes to the night of our fight back in Nashville, when my hands had been pressed to the front door of our apartment, his hand on my throat, him behind me, thrusting into me. “I know,” I whisper, my skin flushing with the memory and because it’s the truth, now I dare add, “I like it.”
“Do you?” he challenges.
“Beyond reason,” I whisper.
His fingers flex on my neck, seconds ticking by before he replies with, “I used to think I wanted to scare you off, Allie.”
“And now?”
“Now, I pray I can’t.” His teeth scrape my shoulder, rasping roughly.
I suck in a breath at the rough, erotic nip that borders on a bite. He cups my jaw and drags my head back to his shoulder, just enough to angle my mouth to his and lower his to mine. “But that doesn’t mean I won’t try,” he adds. “Nice guys are gentle, Allie. You need to know that I’m not a nice guy.”
“If I’d wanted nice, I would have walked away before we ever started calling me cupcake which was almost the moment I met you, Dash.”
It’s a joke about the nickname I’ve earned with him, but he doesn’t laugh or smile. He brushes his lips over my lips. “You taste like you don’t know what you’re asking for.”
“And you taste like you talk too much, Dash Black.”
He lingers there a moment, his breath rushing over my lips with a promise of a kiss that doesn’t come. Instead, he says, “No more talking. Knees on the mattress, baby.”
BINGE READ THE SERIES
WHAT IF I NEVER (book one)
$4.99 Audio only on Chirp: https://bit.ly/3GEb5Qu
BECAUSE I CAN (book two)
WHEN I SAY YES (book three)

The conclusion to Allie and Dash’s trilogy. Yes, you need to read books 1 & 2, hence why it’s called a trilogy, in order for this book to make sense. You need to meet Allison and Dash and what they’ve gone through that has taken them this far. Don’t read further if you haven’t read books 1 & 2.

We finally get to know who the other Allison is and how she fits into this story. Her and Allie are definitely different, besides having the same name and kinda looking like each other.

This story, well really the whole trilogy, was a 3-day read for me. I think I started and finished a book before bed each night – which lead to some long nights. But this was definitely worth it. In reading this story, we learned more about Dash, the other Allison, Tyler and Dash’s big blowup and why they aren’t “friends” any longer. Although I’d probably call them frenemies, of a sort.

Long story short, all 3 books are out, there’s no reason for you NOT to start and finish this trilogy!

5 stars!!

Blurb

Having to attend my sister’s wedding with a pretend boyfriend had been bad enough, but when that fake date left me stranded an hour before the ceremony, I thought my life was over. No one wore disappointment as poorly as my mother, and I’d already given her a thousand reasons to wish I’d never been born.

Which was why, when a random stranger sat beside me at the bus stop, wearing a crisp suit and a winning smile as though God himself had heard my woeful prayers, I wasted no time in making a rushed deal with the devil:
A night of his time in exchange for money I didn’t have.

It sounded so simple. It sounded easy… if only cash had been what Fraser Scott wanted at the end of the night. A man like him, with his intense grey eyes, hard muscles, and obvious charm didn’t need his wallet filling. He didn’t need anything I was willing to offer freely.

By the time it was all over, what Fraser demanded, in fact, was me…

And it turned out that Fraser wasn’t the kind of man who walked away from a deal without coming out on top.

 

I don’t know what I expected with this story, but it was SO much more! I thought I wasn’t going to be able to like Fraser but he definitely won me over! He was growly but still sweet.

And Charlotte – not Lottie – you just feel so bad for her. She’s obviously the “black sheep” in her family, and she knows it. She knows her mother wishes she was more “socially acceptable” and does what is expected of her, just like her sister. And hence why she has a standing wedding date who has to bail on her, but then it brought Fraser into her life. Hot or not, I’d still be so wary of how coincidental it all seemed to be, but maybe that’s too much Criminal Minds reruns.

Fraser is definitely the protection Charlotte needs against her family. Without even knowing Charlotte, he’s already annoyed with how her family treats her. But even though he stands up for her, you just don’t know if she will forgive him for his omissions.

5 stars!

New Release & Review ~ Ripple Effect ~ by ~ J. Bengtsson

Ripple Effect by J. Bengtsson is now live!

Enemies to lovers tale with an earth-shaking twist!

International pop star RJ Contreras finds himself at a crossroads when his mega famous boy band, AnyDayNow, breaks up. After his solo career fails to take off, RJ retreats to a no-frills apartment where he can hide out from the world and lick his festering wounds.

But when the girl next door starts slipping ‘good neighbor’ contracts under his door and complaining about his behavior through strategically placed Post-it-Notes, RJ snaps out of his self-absorbed melancholy to wage war.

Nothing short of an act of nature could repair the relationship between these two strong-willed enemies. But guess what Fate has in store?

So I was thinking this was similar to Alice Clayton’s Wallbanger – which I LOVED – but this is so much more than that!

I stayed up WAY too late reading because I couldn’t stop. I needed to know how RJ and Dani’s story played out! I was wrapped up immediately in the sassy, back-and-forth, trying to outdo each other post-its RJ and Dani were slinging. Of course you could tell something would happen between them, WAY too much smoke there to say there wasn’t a fire.

I don’t want to go too in-depth on this review and give away things that happen but just do yourself a favor and read this! Make sure you have enough time and no distractions to read. Because you will hate (yes HATE) anyone or any thing that stops you from reading this story!

My heart was in my throat most of the time reading because there was just SO much!

50000000 stars!!!

New Release & Review ~ The Worst Guy ~ by ~ Kate Canterbary

The Worst Guy by Kate Canterbary is now live!

Eight weeks of forced proximity is a long time to hate someone you’re trying not to love.

Sebastian Stremmel doesn’t need another headache. He has enough of his own without Sara Shapiro, the noisy new reconstructive surgeon, stomping all around his surgical wing with her chippy, chirpy cheerfulness.

But Sebastian doesn’t usually get what he wants.

No one gets under his skin like Sara – so much so a heated “debate” and an exam room left in shambles later, they land themselves in eight weeks of hospital-mandated conflict resolution counseling. Now they’re forced to fight fair…which quickly leads them to playing dirty when no one’s looking.

They know it’s a mistake.

They promise themselves it will never happen again.

They swear they got it out of their systems.

They didn’t.

Author’s Note: Grumpy/recovering people-pleaser sunshine. Introverts attract. Enemies-to-lovers in the workplace. Banter, bicker, and button-pushing foreplay. Don’t tell the friend group, get jealous when the friend group tries to fix her up.

Heat: rip her clothes off before you get the front door open.

I hadn’t read this series before so I had to read book 1 first to get introduced to these people and the wonder of Sebastian. Which after reading Before Girl, I needed to know more about this crotchety, perpetually grumpy, growly man. Which how awesome is it that the smiley, super happy Doctor Sara is the one to mellow out Sebastian’s rough edges?

I mean, with that much chemistry between the two, it was just a matter of time before they gave in, right? Sara is so complex, I absolutely loved reading her story. It isn’t just a matter of her history, but everything she’s had to deal with – which Sebastian understands and is determined to protect Sara from.

I loved how strong each was in their conviction of hatred of the other, but then wouldn’t allow others to trash them. Sebastian has been known to be the surly grump so any feeling that isn’t grump must be hidden at all costs! So it was so hard for Sebastian and Sara to get it together and be a couple.

5 stars!

New Release & Review ~ #Mr. Silver ~ by ~ Rachel Jonas & Nikki Thorne

💕🖤 ℍ𝕠𝕥 ℕ𝕖𝕨 ℝ𝕖𝕝𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕖 🖤💕

#𝗠𝗿. 𝗦𝗶𝗹𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝗯𝘆 𝗥𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗹 𝗝𝗼𝗻𝗮𝘀 & 𝗡𝗶𝗸𝗸𝗶 𝗧𝗵𝗼𝗿𝗻𝗲 𝗶𝘀 𝗰𝗼𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗜𝗩𝗘! 𝗗𝗼𝗻’𝘁 𝗺𝗶𝘀𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗲𝘀-𝘁𝗼-𝗹𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗿𝗼𝗺𝗮𝗻𝗰𝗲!

#𝟭-𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸 𝘁𝗼𝗱𝗮𝘆!

BLURB

Sterling Golden—Cocky football star. Rich Playboy with a secret. Guy I’d most like to throat-punch. The cherry on top? I’m stuck pretending to be this d-bag’s girl for the next few months.

When I spotted him sneaking out the Dean’s window—a woman whose reputation precedes her—I could’ve minded my business. But it’s not every day you catch your nemesis in such a compromising position, so I did what any self-respecting person would’ve done.

I added fuel to the scandal that ignited, then laughed while the cops hauled him off in nothing but handcuffs and his boxers.

Of course, the arrogant prick found a way to rope me into the lie that got him out of trouble. Which means the only way I come out of this unscathed is to go along with it, pretend we’re a thing.

Most girls would kill to be on the arm of a Golden triplet, but I’m counting down the days until it’s over. In public, we give the city the show they crave—a chance to witness their local bad boy falling in love. But when we’re alone, the gloves come off and we give each other hell.

Only, who knew exchanging insults and cruelty could feel a bit like… foreplay?

There’s an expiration date on this arrangement, but as we turn up the heat to convince our city this “relationship” is the real deal, Sterling and I sometimes forget that it isn’t. He might think his recent fall from grace was a disaster, but if he makes me regret this, I swear I’ll make his life a living hell.

Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice… your belongings might mysteriously catch fire.

Consider this your final warning, Mr. Silver, because it’s the only one you’ll get.

***

Mr. Silver is a full-length standalone novel (roughly 100k words). This book can absolutely be read on its own, but for the sake of flow and clarity, it’s recommended that you start with book one, THE GOLDEN BOYS (a bully romance trilogy within this series).

Do you love the frustratingly hot push and pull of a good enemies-to-lovers romance? Then you’ll love getting to know Sterling and Lexi. Due to adult themes and sexual situations, this one’s only for the 18+ crowd.

One-click and get lost in this story today!

Smooches,

Reading this book, I couldn’t decide who I loved more; Sterling or Lexi. It kept switching depending on what we found out about their lives. Lexi is SASS personified but Sterling is cocky as cocky can be. So of course their story was going to be explosive. Oil and water and all that. Although were they really all that different?

Sterling portrays himself to be an unbothered, cocky, ladies man and while some of that is true; I wouldn’t say he’s unbothered. He’s bothered by his dad and the scandal he brought upon the Golden name. And surprisingly, Lexi is the person who seems to be the safest space for him to be his true self. Which Sterling ends up being the space Lexi needs also. She’s so used to being “the disappointment” of her family, that she has taken to hiding her true self, including why she’s done the things she’s done.

I loved reading Lexi and Sterling’s story and can’t wait for more!

5 stars!

Kissing my Co-worker by J. Sterling is now live!

New York Times bestselling author, J. Sterling has created this collection of fun and flirty stories with holiday based themes for you to get lost in and enjoy. Prepare to fall in love today!

I’ve had a crush on my co-worker Declan since the day I started working at Rockline Studios. Trust me, if you could see this man, you’d have a crush on him too.

It’s been two years since my first day of work… two years since my head has been filled with fantasies and daydreams about the things I could do to him. Two years of…. SITTING BY AND DOING NOTHING because dating within the office is forbidden, frowned upon, something we’re not supposed to do.

The night of Rockline’s infamous New Year’s Eve party changes everything.

Will my new years wish finally come true?

This was such a fun, hot read for me right before going to bed. I should have gone to bed earlier but I just couldn’t put it down! I needed to know how Lily and Declan got together.

Lily is the assistant to a male, do-nothing executive with a production company and the only reason she sticks around is because of Declan – at least mostly. But like so many companies, her employer has a no fraternization rule, so even though looking at Declan is great, she can’t really do more, unfortunately.

I cannot wait for more of this holiday series! Lily and Declan were such an entertaining couple, I can only imagine the other couples’ stories!

5 stars!

Meet J. Sterling

I’m a New York Times and USA Today best selling author of over 18 books! My goal is to write stories that you can get lost in, that will leave a smile on your face and a full heart. If you can forget about the real world while you’re reading and fall in love with my characters, then I’ve done my job. A lot of what I write has real life aspects in it, but that’s what makes the stories so relateable- the fact that they could happen to anyone… and have!

I live in California with my only son, Blake. If you can’t find me sitting behind a computer screen, then there’s a good chance I’m sitting in the bleachers of a baseball stadium watching him play. I love traveling to new places, meeting my readers and living life with the Real Jack Carter. ♡

I know you have a million books to choose from and I am humbled, grateful and thankful each time you choose to read one of mine, or tell someone else to read them. Thank you.

New Release & Review ~ My Unexpected Surprise ~ by ~ Piper Rayne

Release Date: December 14

 

 

I never thought of myself as dad material.

 

Until my one-night stand showed up in my small Alaskan town five months pregnant.

 

But I don’t shy away from responsibility. First, because I’m a Greene and not to boast but we’re kind of a big deal in Sunrise Bay. Second, I’m the Sheriff.

 

 

I couldn’t have predicted how protective I’d become for the safety of her and my unborn baby to the point of asking her to move in with me and be my roommate.

 

 

Just when I think I have the situation under control, another surprise knocks me over, but it only spurs me to double down.

 

 

I’ll be the first to admit, I didn’t think it through. Somewhere between the dinners, the TV show binging, the doctor appointments, and me walking in on her naked, lines blurred.

 

 

In what feels like warp speed, my bachelor for life status is in jeopardy and I’m fighting for the most important thing of all—my family.

Book Tour ~ Beautiful Enigma ~ by ~ S.K. Mason

Title: Beautiful Enigma
Series: Ethics of the Heart #1
Author: S.K. Mason
Genre: Contemporary Romance (novella)
Release Date: November 17, 2021
Cover Design: Kate Farlow

 

“…a feel good, healing, love conquers all type of book with a wonderful HEA.”

 

 

“This book was a breath of fresh air. I absolutely loved James and Raven’s journey.”

 

If sex and intimacy is anything based on the men around me, there’s not much to look forward to. But at nineteen, it’s getting harder and harder to pretend I’m normal when it comes to the bedroom.

 

After finding myself dating one too many douche-bags with a dislike for inexperienced girls, it’s time to take matter into my own hands and what better than to seek the help of a high-class escort to remedy my little “problem”.
The plan is simple enough. Get the V-card out of the way and get on with the rest of my life. What I don’t expect though, is the Aussie Hunk to completely shatter my perspective on sex, men, and pleasure in the process.
Jamie is mysterious. Charismatic. Experienced. He’s everything I’ve ever dreamed of. But no matter what, he’s only mine for three days. Or is he?
 

 

 

Raven is like many women and believes there is something wrong with her because of her inability for complete intimacy. Additionally, she has a boyfriend who is very, very misogynistic almost in his views of sexuality and how “disgusting” virginity is. So Raven is not wanting to disappoint him but wanting to “take care” of her virginity.

Enter Jared and holy whoa! He is just wow. I was a HUGE fan of Jared and how he was with Raven. He is one of my ideals. He was hot, dirty but then so very sweet.

If every male in this series will be like this, sign me up!! This was a quick, hot read that had layers upon layers and was a true joy to read.

5 stars!

 

SK Mason began writing stories in primary school, stories she would sell to her maternal grandmother for a treat. Her paternal grandmother, an avid romance reader, would let her read her Harlequin collection every summer, and soon SK Mason’s books took on a romance turn of their own.
Fast-forward thirty years later and SK Mason was born. A romance lover with a passion for “happily ever after” and pretty groovy ethical twists. In “real life” SK Mason is a little bit like Spiderman, Batman or Superman (and why the hell are all these characters male?!), boring by day, exciting by night. When she’s not working as a health professional, she’s writing stories about other professionals (yes, made up!) and with a gift for setting scenes in health and medical settings, her books aim to be sexy, adventurous, and thrilling romances.
Outside her writing and other professional endeavours, she’s spending time with her family in Australia. Her five children are her life and together they cook, swim and, play Beat-saber. Life doesn’t get better than that!
