Tempting an Earl is not for the faint of heart. Thank heavens Bethanny is anything but faint! Now, honest, perhaps--too honest, but never faint! After all, why flirt when you can tempt? And why the devil would a woman choose to swoon, when she could be kissed? Of course, she'd never try something so...honest, on anyone but Lord Graham. He's the only one she wants. He alone has her heart. He hadn’t a clue. So it was only polite that she tell him. Now, if only her blasted guardian, the Duke of Clairmont, would see Graham as more of a suitor than his old friend. Because Graham is anything but old and most certainly not just a friend, not after that kiss, or that touch. Though, if she were to lay all her cards on the table--which any gently bred woman ought--he wasn't completely aware it was her mouth, her lips, or her touch. But that's beside the point now, isn't it?

Cover Reveal - Branded (Strand Brothers #1) by Lora Ann


Synopsis
Some choices are simple, some are hard, and some leave a brand.

One unforgettable night at a masquerade changes it all.

Aimee Taylor makes a decision that will haunt her forever. Unfortunately life doesn’t come with a do over; therefore, she makes the best out of what she has.

An unforeseen circumstance brings these two together again, even though, neither can explain how or why the other seems so familiar. As love tries to heal this wounded couple, a common adversary seeks to destroy. 

Please note: This book has strong language, violence, and sexual content. Not intended for readers under the age of 18.

Excerpt
He only nodded, deep in thought. “I can help you,” he declared.

I was not expecting that. Honestly, I was growing skeptical. What if he offered to hire me? Yes, I was more than attracted to him, but I was no longer hiring myself out. That chapter of my life was over—the end. “How, exactly?”

Again with the half-smile—Dear Lord—he replied, “Marry me.”

“Excuse me? Look, this is the twenty-first century. A woman doesn’t get married because some asshole threatens her. Come on! That’s just absurd.”

Well, that did it. Now he was furious. He stood up so fast I thought he was going to knock over the sofa and me with it. Then he began to pace while he growled, “I’m fully aware of the century, Aimee. The point is, that ‘asshole’ can wreak havoc on your life like you’ve never seen. You cannot ignore him and hope he’ll go away. You need protection, and I can provide it. It’s really that simple,” he apprised.

Now I was angry. “First off, don’t talk down to me. I’m not a child. I’m obviously aware he can ruin my life. That was why I had agreed to stay with him in the first place. I have plenty of money to hire my own protection. I damned sure don’t need your help, Mr. Strand.”

He grabbed my upper arms. “Yes, Ms. Taylor, you do need me.”

“You know what…Piss off!” I broke free of his grasp and marched over to the elevator to push the call button. The door opened immediately.

I heard Nik bellow, “Aimee. Get your ass back in here, now!”

As the doors slid closed, I flipped him off. Just who did that man think he was? I would figure this out myself. I was sick and tired of these powerful, commanding men telling me what to do with my life. They could all go to hell.

Sale Promo Blitz for Shattered Series by Jordan Burke


Synopsis

Everyone has secrets. No one has secrets like Watts.

Catherine Kolb has found the perfect diversion from her life of nearly complete seclusion: a virtually anonymous correspondence with a man she knows only as "Watts." Intelligent, intriguing, and with an insatiable appetite for sex, his words begin to draw her out of her closely guarded world.

Watts insists on privacy. He has no choice. In the wrong hands, his secrets could get people killed.

Including him.

And Catherine.

But curiosity and lust prove stronger than reason and safety. A planned one-time encounter sets into motion a series of events that bring Catherine and Watts to the edge of ecstasy and the brink of peril.

Two very private people. One risky night. A shot at love and redemption.

Due to mature themes, this book is recommended for readers 18+.


Holy hottness in this book!!!! Watts and Catherine have some serious sexual tension but need to learn to trust each other! They developed a relationship through a dating website. Watts just wants to keep it as it is because he has so many dark secrets. Catherine on the other hand wants a piece of Watts..even if it is just for one night. They meet up one night and things get hot and heavy fast! This book is a cliff hanger but I can not wait to read book 2..this is a MUST READ!! Awesome book! Very hot!!!

As Watts and Catherine become more entangled in a relationship marked by searing sex and imminent danger, he reveals the horrific events of his past that led to his current, dark life. Now Catherine must decide: with all that she’s been through in her life, can she risk suffering the heartache she could be forced to endure if she stays with Watts?

Watts:

I’ve had to do some unspeakable things in my life. Some might even consider me a bad guy.

My secrets can get people hurt, even killed. For that reason, I’ve never let anyone get close to me.

Until Catherine.

Her life of isolation so closely mirrors mine that I feel inextricably bound to her.

She’s my one shot at redemption, and I just may be hers. If the risk is too much for her, she’ll leave. If she stays, my life’s mission changes forever…

Due to mature themes, this book is recommended for readers 18+.


This book was hot! I thought the first book in this series was good, this one is amazing! Watts and Catherine are still getting to know each other. There are some very hot sex scenes throughout this book. Over time, Catherine lets her walls down and reveals her past to Watts. He then reveals his dark past which is totally shocking! Will Catherine stay with Watts after she hears what his past entails?? Definitely a 5 star read for me!

The hottest and most intense installment…this is the thrilling conclusion to the SHATTERPROOF series. 

“You’re going to have to make a choice, and it’s not going to be an easy one. I’m not the man you think I am.” - Watts 

Catherine made her choice. Now Watts faces an unexpected ultimatum from a nemesis that could threaten to tear them apart, just as he’s dealing with his riskiest and most important assignment yet, one that brings him closer than ever to getting caught. 

His decision will force them to face one of life’s ugliest truths: You can lose your one true love as quickly and unexpectedly as you find it. 

When Watts discovers that the threat runs deeper and much closer to home, his passion for Catherine becomes all the more worth the fight. Their future, and his redemption, depend on it. 

Due to mature themes, this book is recommended for readers 18+.


Book 3 in the Shatterproof series was by far my favorite! Definitely hotter and steamier! Catherine knows all of Watts' secrets now.She still chooses to stick by his side. She trusts him with everything she has. He is involved in one of the biggest missions he has done and Catherine is left in the dark about what is going on. He tells her nothing but to trust him. 

After an event that took place in Catherine's apartment, Watts realizes he is done with his missions. He wants to spend the rest of his life with Catherine. This series is by far one of the best I have read! Jordan Burke is an amazing author and will leave you wanting more in each book! By far a 5 star book!!!

Excerpt
From Privacy Code (Shatterproof #1)
“What made you change your mind about meeting me?”
She hesitated for a second before saying, “I was curious.”
I grinned. “Perfect reason. You should always give in to your curiosities, especially the forbidden ones.”
I stepped closer to her, placing my hands on the wall just over her shoulders, caging her in, pressing her up against the wall. I dipped my head and barely touched my lips to hers, waiting to see what she would do. As I expected, her tongue parted her lips ever so slightly as though trying to wet them for a kiss.
I let my tongue graze along Catherine’s, then pressed my lips firmly to hers. My tongue dove into her mouth. She opened wider, willingly taking it. She tasted like wine and mint.
A short gasp escaped from her mouth as my hand pulled her dress up, my fingers pressing into the soft, smooth flesh of her thigh.
My cock twitched in my pants. I heard my heartbeat in my ears. Felt my face getting warmer by the second.
I moved down to her neck, tasting her skin and feeling her head drop to my shoulder.
I was finding myself lost in the sensory blur that was Catherine. Her scent, how her flesh felt when I applied pressure with my hands, how she tasted, how I could feel her pulse rapidly pounding against my lips when I kissed her neck.
I slipped one finger under the front of her strapless dress, slowly pulling it down to expose her. I looked down and watched as the fabric slid over the slope of the top of her breast.
With one finger, I traced the outer edge of her bra, teasing her flesh.
“When I said you were going to get the fucking of a lifetime, did you think those were just words?”
She looked up from what my finger was doing and blinked. “I want to believe you.”
She had some doubt. Excellent. “Are you challenging me, Catherine?”
She bit her lower lip. “Maybe.”
I tilted my head and grinned. “Not a good idea.”

NICOLE EDWARDS BLOG TOUR- BETTING ON GRACE & BOOTS OPTIONAL


Betting on Grace

New York Times bestselling author Nicole Edwards is continuing to heat things up with Betting on Grace, a sexy new ménage novel which is the first book in a hot new series called Dead Heat Ranch.
The tables have turned on Grace Lambert. For a woman familiar with long days and hard work, she just recently discovered just how hot the sultry Texas nights can get. Finding time to spend with her two smoking hot cowboys, Grant and Lane, isn’t exactly easy, but she’s forging ahead with what has turned out to be the hottest relationship she has ever been in. The true test comes in standing up for what she wants.
Grant Kingsley has landed his feisty cowgirl, Gracie, and an equally sexy cowboy, Lane Miller, but everything outside of his romantic life has gone from routine to chaos in a matter of days. Unfortunately, he’s become rather acquainted with Murphy’s Law as he is inundated with a string of bad luck. His mother is missing, his father, a gambling addict, is worried about only one thing these days, and when Grant refuses to give in, all hell breaks loose on the ranch.
Lane Miller will be the first to admit that he falls in love easily. And he’s done so again, with both Gracie and Grant. Only this time around, he’s not giving up or giving in. Cowboys don’t know what it means to back down and Lane will ensure that the two most important people in his life get all of him, no matter what it takes.


REVIEW

You can't help but leave Boots Optional knowing that waiting for Betting on Grace is not an option- you need it NOW! Grant, Grace and Lane continue their hot and sexy affair in this full length continuation of the Dead Heat Ranch Series. 

Everyone is working so much at the Texas ranch owned by Grace's family (the Lamberts) that what little time the threesome gets together is explosive and the hotness is off the charts! Grant's life outside the relationship with Lane and Grace is equally explosive but not in the way he would have liked. How do Grace and Lane help him deal with all of the outside pressures threatening to ruin what they have? 

Lane is a sucker for romance and falling in love. What he did not expect was to do it with two people at once- his love for Grant and Grace is something he will fight to keep and I love his character in this book so much for doing whatever it takes to have what and who he wants. 

Grace is a Lambert- a family with a lot of money and influence. Grace's Daddy keeps her and the rest of her sisters on a pretty short leash and the relationship with Grant and Lane is the hottest by far she has ever been in. She struggles to have what she wants after fighting so long to keep it all at arm's length. My favorite part of Grace's personality is her feisty cowgirl nature- she takes shit from neither Grant nor Lane and her fire cracker personality had me chuckling more than once during this read. Definite 5 stars- always a good story to be found in a Nicole Edwards romance. ~ Kellie 



Boots Optional

BOOTS OPTIONAL NOVELLA
Description:
Dead Heat Ranch Novella, #0.5

Note: This novella was originally featured in the Some Like It Hot Anthology. Although this story has not changed, this novella contains a bonus scene, along with an excerpt from Betting on Grace, DHR #1.

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.



REVIEW

Grant, Lane and Gracie- Dead Heat Ranch's hottest threesome. Like any Nicole Edwards book, expect hot sex, lots of it, and points of view from each character. One thing I have always enjoyed about reading Nicole's work is that you get to know everyone and what they are feeling and thinking- you are never left wondering that by only getting the point of view of one character. 

Gracie Lambert plays hard to get, acts like Grant is a thorn in her side, gives him all the Southern girl sassy mouth she can muster (which he gives right back) and it makes for a very entertaining read. This novella definitely sets the stage for what is to come with Betting on Grace- the full length continuation of this story. This definitely leaves you wanting more. No one writes M/M/F like Nicole! ~Kellie
