SEPARATION ANXIETY BY LISA SUZANNE REVIEW

SEPARATION ANXIETY BY LISA SUZANNE REVIEW

I loved Separation Anxiety. I could relate to it on so many levels. The book made me laugh and get angry at certain points. Jesse Drake sounds like every girls dream guy!! Veronica's ex Richard made me angry the way he treated her! Was so glad she left him and fought for what she deserved...her happy ever after. I would definitely recommend this book!! 5 star book in my eyes!

SCARY MODSTERS BY DIANE RINELLA REVIEW

SCARY MODSTERS BY DIANE RINELLA REVIEW

I absolutely loved this book. It was different from what in usually read but I'm so glad I gave it a try. I loved Rosalyn's quirky sense of style and love of music. Niles is her perfect match. Just really enjoyed the whole story line and how it played out. Diane Rubella is definitely an author I will be looking for more of.

OUT OF REACH BY MISSY JOHNSON REVIEW


OUT OF REACH BY MISSY JOHNSON REVIEW

Well, where to begin? I love Missy, I may have a little bit of a girl crush on her right now. Out of Reach was such an incredible read (I practically bagged the blog to let me review this book… not my finest moment, oh well). It is a beautiful story of life, love, loss, endings and new beginnings.


Andy, Seth, and Em are best friends. Andy and Em are a couple and completely in love. Seth is Andy’s best friend and, well he is also in love with Em, but she doesn’t know. Em is in love with Andy and well, she may have some underlying feeling for Seth too? To make this little love-fest even more confusing and heart-wrenching Andy is dying. 

I felt such a deep connection with the characters, when they laughed I laughed, when they cried, I was completely gutted. It was overwhelming but this is why I read people! I devoured every word that was written. The emotions of this story were so high. This is a must read, it is definitely a story of how love can conquer all and when one door closes, you need to use the window because life and love are out there, if you are strong enough to grab a hold. 

Missy, I can’t wait to see what you have for us readers next. You are wonderful and your writing is captivating. Thank you for bringing us Andy, Seth and Em’s story. This is a must read people!

Delight by Lexi Buchanan Release Day Blitz

Delight, McKenzie Brothers, Book 3

Delight 03

Blurb

Kenza nightclub owner, Ruben McKenzie can have any woman he wants, but the only woman he wants is Rosie—his sweet innocent employee, who happens to be eleven years his junior. Watching her parade her hot little body around his club, serving drinks completely unaware of the attention she attracts is driving him to distraction. But when he sees a regular getting close to her, all bets are off.

Rosie has had more than enough life experience, but when it comes to matters of the heart—the one place that Ruben wants in—she’s completely innocent. Having no family of her own, it’s a dream to be invited to a McKenzie family gathering. Rosie always wanted to belong to a family like the McKenzie’s, but she’s afraid that if she gives her heart to Ruben and things don’t work she’ll be crushed, beyond repair.

Neither one of them may be able to keep their distance for long. The trouble that has been brewing at Kenza finally comes to a head, and when Rosie finds herself caught up in it, how far will Ruben go to protect her?

~*~*~*~

In this third installment of the McKenzie Brothers series you’ll learn more about the two remaining brothers, Lucien and Ramon. New players, Hunter and Julian, will be introduced. 

None of my books have cliffhangers and they can be read as standalone, but to get the full background on the rest of the family then I do suggesting reading Seduce, The Wedding and Rapture first.

Excerpt

Turning, I start walking upstairs with an added sway to my hips. Halfway up, I nearly stumble when I feel his hands on my hips, and then I do stumble and end up on my hands and knees on the stairs when he bites me on the bottom.
I can’t think, his hands are everywhere; on my breasts, my belly, my hips, and my legs before he moves under my skirt and rubs me between my thighs. Moaning, I drop forward with Ruben following me.
“You’re so wet. Have you got any idea how hot it is, knowing I make you so wet? I need to taste you.”
Ruben wraps his arms around my waist and hauls me up a few more stairs to the landing. Turning me in his arms, he lays me down and stays kneeling on the stairs between my spread legs.
My skirt is around my hips as Rubens slides his hands up my thighs to my panties, which he rips from my body. Holding them to his nose, he closes his eyes and inhales before shoving them into his pocket.
He strokes between my nether lips, coating his fingers in my wetness—driving me crazy. Losing all inhibitions, I yank my shirt over my head, following it with my bra.
“Fuck, Rosie,” Ruben hisses staring at my breasts.
Wanting to tease him, I bring my hands up and play with my nipples as I hear Ruben cussing before he inserts a finger inside me. I arch up from the floor in pleasure, not wanting him to stop.
My hands drop from my breasts when I feel Ruben’s very talented mouth on me—his tongue lapping me up before darting in and out of my channel.
Threading my fingers into his hair, he holds my quivering thighs open while he goes to town on me. I’ve never come this way before, but I feel the ball of fire gathering in my belly—the tightening in my nipples…

  From the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author, Olivia Cunning… One Starry Night... In high school, Jake was the bad boy who made Michelle burn with desire, took what he wanted from her body, and broke her heart. In hindsight, Michelle never should have gotten tangled up with the aspiring guitarist in the first place. In high school, Devlin was a sweet, shy geek who’d had a crush on her, but when he’d found the courage to ask her to Prom, she’d turned him down flat. In hindsight, she should have worried more about the quality of the boy than her reputation with the popular crowd. But this isn’t high school anymore. At her ten year class reunion, Michelle finds her once popular crowd lacking, but finds both the man who broke her heart and the one she once rejected irresistibly sexy. She wants them. Both of them. And they want her any way—every way—they can have her. Can she resist either man? Does she even want to try?

  New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards is heating things up with Boots Optional, a sexy new ménage novella which is the first book in a hot new series called Dead Heat Ranch. Grace Lambert is familiar with hard work, long days, and handsome cowboys. She’s been working for her family’s dude ranch since she was old enough to ride a horse and she’s not afraid to get her hands dirty. What she is afraid of is the heat that’s been generating between her and not one, but two sexy cowboys who’ve set their sights on her. And each other. Grant Kingsley and Lane Miller have both had their eyes on Gracie for years, but the feisty cowgirl has managed to keep them at bay. As far as they are concerned, cowboys don’t give up, and neither of them is ready to give up just yet. Not on her and not on the heat that transpires between the two of them. Find out what happens when the sultry Texas nights get as hot as the fierce Texas days.

  New York Times bestselling authorCherrie Lynn gets it hot in here with SHAMELESS. It's a vacation Meredith Taylor will never forget. A sunny beach, good friends and good times. But when she overhears a couple having a passionate interlude on the balcony above her one night, she can't get the man's sultry voice out of her mind. Especially when she figures out exactly who that man is... Cameron Moore always had an eye on his best friend's little sister but considered her strictly off limits, choosing to satisfy his lust elsewhere. Now Meri seems to want to annihilate every wall Cam's put up against her. The beach is hot, the drinks are cold, Meredith is irresistible, and something has to give. Will it only be the walls between them, or their hearts as well?

  New York Times Bestselling Author Kristen Proby brings you PLAYING WITH FIRE, a ménage novella. Bailey Whitworth is a charity event organizer and a woman exploring her sexuality. Kevin Welling and Gray McDermitt are firefighters and best friends who share everything. Bailey always knew her sexual appetites were "different", but she had no idea that she could fall in love with two men at once. What will she do when she has to choose between them? Or will she have to choose at all?

  From USA Today bestselling author, Lainey Reese comes Guarding Nadia. When Nadia Dixon walked into the offices of CJ Investigations, the last thing she expected to find were men who looked more like GQ models than bodyguards. It was desperation that brought her to their door however and she prayed that the two sex gods were more than just pretty faces. Caleb and Jonas had started their security firm together after leaving the Secret Service. They had the lethal skill and training to safeguard anyone, including the gorgeous erotic author. Considering her stunning beauty, alluring sensuality and decadent profession, the only wonder was that she had drawn out just one obsessed fan. After hearing Nadia's story and seeing for themselves the threat that she was under, they knew they could keep her safe from any stalker. Their only worry...who was going to keep her safe from them?

Changing Tunes by Heather Gunter Blog Tour with Review



Changing Tunes is a New Adult Romance by the fabulous Heather Gunter and today we get to share our thoughts with you.


Title:   Changing Tunes
Series:   The Changing Series
Author:  Heather Gunter
Genre:  New Adult
Release Date:  February 16, 2014
Cover Design:  Robin Harper of Wicked by Design






Ashley Davis is over her high school 'bitch' label and has decided to reinvent herself. College offers a new beginning, a chance to be different. After being assaulted, she's realized that she needs to change and college is just the place to do it. Nobody knows the Ashley she used to be and she'd like to keep it that way.
Afraid of falling into the same patterns she decides that having no friends, no life and focusing on school is the way to go, but she didn’t bank on someone like Mac as her roommate or the tall, dark and completely geek hot in his glasses, Zeke Whitman.

Ezekiel (Zeke) Whitman is driven and focused when it comes to school. When he's forced to partner with a tall, leggy blonde with a slight attitude, he's thrown for a loop. With so much at stake, Zeke can’t afford distractions and Ashley is certainly that. From their first encounter Zeke sees more than just another gorgeous girl.

As Ashley grapples with leaving the ‘old’ her behind, she realizes that sometimes changing tunes isn't as easy as it sounds. Sometimes you have to keep a little of the person that you were, in order to become the person that you want to be.





















4.5 Stars

Changing Tunes by Heather Gunter was an absolute joy to read. I fell into this story and had a hard time pulling myself away. The characters in this story are relatable and written with a perfect combination of emotional issues, redemption and love. 

Ashley Davis is starting her new life in college, trying to become a better person, she is going to steer clear of the “bitch” was in high school. This girl has some major problems, she is described as a complete knockout but they way she degrades herself is sad. I felt for her in this story. Her family life is less than desirable and I don’t think she’s ever had anyone really care for her. When she gets to college, she meets Mackenzie “Mac”, her new roommate. I loved Mac and I am pretty sure she is Ashley’s first real friend. There are also a couple of other great supporting characters that form a pretty tight bond, and then there is Zeke Whitman… THE GUY <3 **swoon**. Zeke is a great character, he is sexy, smart, funny, and genuine (hot damn what a lethal combination). But, he may have some secrets that will shock you. 

This book has everything I love in a good romance: Love, Loss, Friendship, Redemption, but it also has those twists and turns that I didn’t’ see coming. I have high hopes for The Changing Series; I believe it’s going to be a great series from Heather. Can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next.

Look for Tattered Pieces by Heather Gunter - Coming Soon

Riding high on the waves of success, Dove Sinclair, lead singer of Tattered Pieces, has it all - until one fateful night her party hard lifestyle almost costs her everything. Stupid and reckless doesn't even begin to describe her actions. Getting arrested definitely wasn't in the game plan, nor was an enforced stay in the Serenity Lakeview Clinic. If Dove wants to keep her band, her career and her life, then there is no alternative. The question is, will rehab force her to deal with the things that have triggered her reckless behavior or will she continue trying hard to forget and fade further into the dark.

Jasper Phillips is the kind of guy everyone loves. He comes from a good family, works hard and seems to have it all. Friendly, positive and popular are words people use to describe Jasper regularly. Sometimes what’s on the outside is only what we want people to see, while on the inside we’re battling demons that are too frightening to describe. When those demons manage to catch up to you, the whispers of their world becomes a very inviting place.

Dove doesn’t understand how Jasper fits in at Serenity Lakeview Clinic but something about him calls to her, awakening her desire to feel alive and normal again. As Jasper battles his inner darkness he is drawn to Dove, all the while fearing that if she gets close enough she won't like what she sees. As Jasper struggles to stay in the light, can he help Dove see what she has right in front of her?

Toxic by KA Robinson Blog Tour with Review







***Toxic: Logan's Story is Book Four of the Torn Series, but it can be read as a standalone if desired.***


True love is forever. After years of chasing his best friend, Chloe, Logan finally managed to win her heart—or so he thought. His world crashes down around him when she confesses to cheating on him with a local rock star, Drake. Unable to let her go completely from his life, Logan reassumes his role of best friend while he watches Chloe find her happily ever after with another man. Each day, he sinks further and further into his depression, and the kind, caring Logan he once was dies. When Jade, a member of Drake’s band, inserts herself into his life, Logan never expects to fall for her. He’s too broken, too damaged.

Jade ran away from home when she was seventeen, desperate to escape her abusive stepfather and her controlling boyfriend, Mikey. The only regret she has is that she left behind her little sister, Bethaney. When Jade’s band, Breaking the Hunger, hits it big, she vows to go back to her hometown not only to reconnect with her little sister, but also to show her stepfather that she’s not worthless like he said.

The moment Jade saw Logan, she knew she wanted him. Unfortunately, he was with Chloe at the time. After his world falls apart, Jade steps in to comfort him, determined to bring back the Logan she once knew.

Sometimes, you find true love with the person you never least expect. Can Logan and Jade heal each other? Or will they forever be changed by their toxic pasts?

Loved it! #TeamLogan! Book Four in the Torn Series focuses on the destruction of the relationship between Chloe and Logan and the new one that is created between him and Jade. Through all of the ups and downs that take place, Logan finds himself questioning every motive and feeling that comes up between him and Jade and the first chance he gets to run away scared he does. Jade has never allowed herself to be in a relationship and for years, has feelings for Logan he is completely unaware of. The two of them take a summer trip together to get to know one another better and for Jade to reconnect with a sister she was forced to leave many years ago. As they come together, the past comes back to try and separate them.....

This is a must read, even if you did not read the first three in this series. Although the first three will give you some insight into the relationships of the other characters that are in Logan's life and a part of the first three books, you can read this book as a stand alone as well. Five stars, great job Kelly! <3 Kellie

Excerpt 

I raised an eyebrow. “Why are you so determined to make sure that Jade and I end up together?” 


       “Because I want you both to be happy, and after all of this sorted out, I think you two could be really happy with each other. You both care a lot about each other. I’ve never seen Jade act the way she did when Drake called her. She was really upset. And you’ve been Mopey McMoperpants since you came home. It’s obvious that you’re both miserable without one another.” 


      “Do you really think that we’d be happy together? Honestly, I’m not so sure. I don’t exactly fit in with the rest of her world.” 

 
      “Why do you think that?” 


      “She’s a rock star, Chloe, and I’m just…I’m not into that scene. I don’t like the same things you guys do. I don’t look like any of the other guys she hangs out with. I’m not pierced or tattooed. I’m not…I don’t know what the fuck I’m trying to say here.”


     Chloe started to say something, but Drake cut her off, “Look, Logan, I’ve known Jade for a long time. I’ve watched her get hit on by tons of guys, and she’s never paid attention to any of them. She didn’t care that they were part of our scene. Truthfully, most of the guys we hang out with are womanizing assholes.” 


      “True story,” Chloe cut in, giving Drake a dirty look.


     “Hey, I haven’t been that way in a long time. Don’t glare at me like that. Anyway, my point is, just because she lives a certain way and has a certain profession doesn’t mean that she’s going to want a certain type of guy. She obviously likes you, so just go with it.” 


      “He’s right. Don’t doubt yourself because you two have different lives. You’re a good-looking guy, Logan. You don’t need tattoos or piercings for girls to notice you. Jade obviously likes you just the way you are.” 


      “I feel like I should pull the car over, so we can all hug. This is getting awkward,” Drake muttered. 


      Chloe laughed. “Don’t be jealous, Drake. I think you’re a goodlooking guy, too.”


     He rolled his eyes. “Thanks. I feel much more secure about our marriage now that you’ve admitted you’re attracted to me.
Excerpt 2:
