Synopsis:

 

 

 

One scar.One betrayal.

No escape.

When Sloan Reynolds beats criminal charges,
Melissa Jones stops believing her wealthy, connected ex-husband will ever pay
for what he did to her. 
Derek Alexander can’t accept that—a tiny silver
scar won’t let him forget, and as a leader in the security business, he is
determined to get the man who hurt his fiancée.

Then the body of a former call girl turns up
dead. She’s the breakthrough Derek’s been waiting for, the link to Sloan’s
sordid past he needs. But as usual, legal paths to justice have been covered up
or erased.

Derek’s ready to do whatever it takes to protect
his family when his partner Patrick Knight devises a plan that changes
everything. 

It’s a plan that involves coloring outside the
lines and taking a walk on the dark side. It goes against everything on which
Alexander-Knight, LLC, is based.

And it’s a plan Derek’s more than ready to
follow.

Excerpt:

 

 

 

“What have you done?”
His voice is full of warmth as he watches me from the sofa.
“Since you’ve been
working too hard—”
“Exaggeration.”
“Since you’ve been
working too hard,” I repeat, “I decided to recreate our relaxing spa vacation
in the desert.”
Placing the tray on
the coffee table, I hand him his flute and lift mine. “To family restrooms.”
He laughs and clinks
back. “To the gorgeous woman who drives me to crazy extremes.”
We sip and I crawl
forward on the couch to kiss him and tell him again. “I love you.”
He leans forward,
placing his flute, the tray, my flute, all of it on the coffee table. Then his
hands move through the open robe to pull me onto his lap in a straddle, facing
him. Just that fast, his mouth is on my neck, nibbling and kissing. My eyes are
closed, and I’m powerless.
“I love you more,” he
says beside my ear with a deep inhale. “You smell so good.”
Threading my fingers
in his hair, I kiss his temple. “I wore the red lace…”
A rumble of approval,
and his lips touch that spot behind my ear, a light scruff against my skin,
sending shivers flying down my legs.
“My favorite.” His
voice is thick as I pull his cheeks, reuniting our mouths.
For a moment, we make
out like teenagers, hot and breathless, tongues entwining. He holds me against
his bare chest, my elbows are bent, and my palms are on his cheeks. His mouth
is like some rich, decadent chocolate I can never get enough of tasting. As we
kiss, I feel him relax, and my hands slide behind his neck, my lips travel up
to his brow. He hugs me against his torso and doesn’t move. Neither do I.
This big, strong man
saved me twice. If comfort is what he needs, I’m here to give it to him. I’m
here to give him anything. After a few more breaths, his arms relax. I lean
back and study his face a moment. The robe has dropped around my shoulders, so
I’m basically sitting nude on his lap, but I don’t care.
“Hungry?” I reach for
the sandwich plate and hold it between us, right at our chins. “You probably
won’t think it’s as good as Central Grocery, but I think it’s delicious.”
His blue eyes take me
in before he bites. “Mmm…” is all I get.
Giggling, I lean
forward and take a bite myself. The tangy, savory flavor of olives and smoky
provolone fills my mouth.
“Delicious!” My voice
is muffled.
His smile glows as he
watches me, his voice full of love. “How’s the baby?”
Lowering the sandwich
to the plate, I turn and put it on the side table again. “I can’t feel a thing,
but the doctor said he’s doing great.”
My last checkup was a
week ago, and we both agreed unless something unusual occurred, Derek could
miss the routine exams. So far everything has been by the book.
“So he’s a boy now?”
I love his grin at the prospect of a little son.
Shrugging, I
acquiesce. “Maybe… it’s too soon to know.”
His attention moves
from my face to my abdomen. Large hands span my bare stomach before he leans
forward and kisses me right below my sternum, right at the top of my belly.
“I love you,” he
whispers to the little bean growing there.
I’m certain my heart
melts in that instant, and I catch his face again to cover it with kisses. He’s
right with me, lifting me in his arms and carrying me to the master suite. A
California king-sized bed fills the space, and he spreads me out on the soft
mattress, lying on his side next to me.
I trail my fingers
lightly over his brow, to his temple, following a line to his strong jaw. He
looks at me like I’m the most fragile thing in his bed—another detail he knows
isn’t true.
We don’t disturb the
moment, though. The truth might be that both of us are strong as iron, tough as
flint, but holding each other, we know how precious it is that we’re here,
together.
The randomness of
chance keeps us both in awe, and for that, we treasure these moments. After
working so hard, our reunions are the sweetest bliss. He holds me, and I feel
very needed and extremely sexy. This man is like water in the desert to me, and
it isn’t hard to see the feeling is mutual.
“I’m sorry I
interrupted dinner.” Leaning forward, he nibbles the skin at my neck, and a
surge rises between my legs. “Can you wait?”
My voice is thick as
I answer. “I guess so…”

kate benson the promise

Synopsis

This book contains subject matter that is suitable for adults 18 years of age and older. 
Devastated by circumstances beyond her control, Sophie Ryan’s life rips her from the arms of her first love, Jack. With only memories of their lost love, she’s forced to start over in a new town; surviving on her own for the first time since he left. Trying to begin her new life, fate decides a different direction for her, causing her to make a choice she never thought she’d have to. 
Unsure of commitment after his failed engagement, Chase Mitchell finds himself stuck on a path of failed conquests and late nights at the bar. That is until he finds a pair of mesmerizing green eyes sitting in his usual spot. Something about this quiet girl forces him to question everything he has ever thought about love. 
As Sophie looks down at the fork that’s presented in her path, will she choose the right direction? Will she be able to move towards the arms of the man who stands in front of her? Or will she choose to keep her promise to the one life forced her to leave behind?

Over the years Kendal has blossomed into a beautiful, confidant woman, she oozes sex appeal and now that she has had a Rock Star’s baby, she has grown into a nurturing and protective mother.  Only one thing is missing, the baby daddy, her light, her love, her dream and her family.  They finally connect again and the visions she has of a complete family are coming to fruition. 

“Could everyone really just forgive me like they are?  I don’t forgive myself.” ~Kendal

The tenacity Jax continued to strive for has finally paid off in his success of building a famous rock band, DECOY.   His dream has finally became a reality and now that his long lost love had finally reconnected with him, he finds even more than he thought possible.  He has a son, a little rock-star mini-me, he struggles to overcome the pain and betrayal he feels for Kendal for keeping this secret and joy from his life for years.

“I’m so happy to find you Kendal.  You gave me the best present a man could get.  You and Finley are my life now.”  ~Jax

4 hearts – lovers + friends = family

These two fight hard for their relationship and you clearly see the pain, confusion, and anxiety they each feel when thoughts of the past interrupt their family future.  Kendal continues to feel guilty about her decision of keeping little Finley a secret from Jax.  They took things slowly this time as they build a solid relationship.

Reading how Finley and Jax’s relationship grew, watching Finley wanting to emulate his dad, and watching Jax realizing that his dream of having his own little family becoming a reality is very emotional and touching.

“The way Finley looks at me makes me feel like I’m the best man in the world.” ~Jax

4 scorching lips – spicy reads

Oh yes, this little Yum-o-licious story has hit on all the hot spots in a fantastic erotic touch me, feel me, and love me read.  The steamy little scenes were implemented in exactly the right places.  The buildup the author gave them had me re-reading over and over.

“Yes, I can feel him alright.  He’s making my whole body quiver as he plays me like his guitar.”

With every pump, slam and growl Jax brings my body closer to the edge.

We have spent every night together, we have enjoyed the bed, floor, wall and my shower very, very much.

In the end I found the Decoy Series a very satisfying read.  This is the kind of Rocker – Romance I find I must need to add to my collection of an HEA erotic romance list.

Thank you T.K. Fisher!  Can’t wait for Rockstar’s Angel and to see what’s happening in Tanya’s and Leo’s love affair.

2 Roses – Romance

Honestly this book is not one for the romance shelf, instead it’s a warming tale that consisted of building friendships and coming to terms with one’s decisions in life.

Kendal made a haunting decision 4 years ago that will eventually impact not only her life but the lives of her son and her baby daddy’s to.  The consequences of this decision later leaves her feeling guilty and unable to move forward.   She still loves him, her first.. her only true love.

Jax is left devastated at Kendal’s decision to end their passionate love affair of nearly 2 years and the closure that he needs to move on never came to pass.  Although he made it big and is riding high on his Rock Star status he is left unfulfilled and empty inside.  He misses her, his one and only love, the one that got away.

374a03f20b1f085b0768843e518b29af[1]

3 – Hearts for Friends

Friendships are depicted in detail and their loyalty to each other is very touching.  Kendal’s friends literally have her back as they travel with her through her journey of grief and pain.  It’s very refreshing to find her ‘boyfriends’ portrayed more as her ‘brothers’ instead of lusting after her,  they continue to protect her and I admire that old school charm the author gives them.

5bebe77ba5120f3ff6165075f81ff7d7[1]

Finley was very sweet in this story and I can’t wait to read more about him.  His innocence is enough to tug at my heartstrings and I cannot wait to see if and when he meets his Rock-Star Daddy.  I have mixed emotions about how Kendal handled this defining moment in her life, although I see her point in the decision, I also see how this affects Jax’s life.  She later sees the error of her ways now that Finley is growing up without his father in his young life.

Will Kendal and Jax find their HEA?  Will they ever come together as a family?  I can’t wait to find out in Rockstar’s Girl!

Review – Rockstar’s Valentine by K.T. Fisher

A Rockstar’s Valentine

(Decoy Prequel)

by K.T. Fisher

20616657[2]

Synopsis

Before we had Rockstar Daddy, there was A Rockstar’s Valentine…….

As soon as I set eyes on the gorgeous guy who saves me from having to dance with yet another jerk, I thought he would be just like the rest. His bad boy rocker image definitely screamed heart breaker, but I was wrong. Boy was I wrong! Yes, Jax can sometimes act like a caveman but he’s different than the rest and I can’t seem to forget about him. Not that he will give me the chance to forget about him! But why would someone like Jax, who has more than enough experience be interested in a little virgin like me? I thought for sure he was a heartless player when I first met him but I quickly figured out that wasn’t the case at all.

As soon as I spot the sexy little red head walk in, I’ve already laid her down and claimed her. Now it’s just getting her to realize that, along with all the fuckers who seem to be eye balling her. I soon find out that Kendal is addictive and I need to have my fill of her regularly. How a man before me has never gone that far and claimed Kendal for himself before is beyond me but thank fuck they haven’t because Kendal will be completely mine.

5 Rock-Star Roses – Romance

Starting this story I was immediately skeptical, I thought what am I doing reading another Rock-Star romance.  Thank goodness I kept reading, this is not a typical run of the mill, trending Rock Star Love Story.  This was an intense emotional build-up of friends becoming lovers.  The commentary from the band members and friends were hilarious, sweet and charming enough to keep me burning through the chapters.

5d054720cc41220be9d0fa21f58eff57[1]

5 hearts – Friends becoming Lovers

The sexual angst between these two kept me enthralled, I desperately wanted these two to connect at once.  I’m pleased that they did not immediately fall into bed with one another at first glance.  Instead it was a slow build up of friendship and respect between one another, the ‘getting to know each other’, phase was smart, clever and witty.

Who would have thought Jack Lair a totally hawt hunk-a-rock-star would have smarts, I mean, a man-whore with a brain?   Loved it! This talented and sexy artist thinks he has it all, groupies, parties, success… until he meets a little spitfire of a back-up singer that rocks him off his game.

Then we have sexy career minded Leila Marino, extremely talented in her vocal abilities and driven to succeed.  Her one shot at stardom appears in the up and coming rock band, Devil’s Lair.  She’s always had a little thing and a big old crush on his holy hawtness and prepares to defend her feelings while holding back her sex starved cravings.

5 – Mocca Chocolata YaYa Lips

This book had me licking my lips until they were chapped with all its sexual tension and the steamy, erotic love scenes had me squirming around in my seat.  The emotional feelings this couple showed in every touch and kiss they shared was enough to have me dreaming of my own Mr. Sandman.

f38509d59cbade19b0404869abf3157d[1]  “You’re like a vampire.  You glamour me.  You’re like a drug to me, I can’t stay away from you.”  ~ Leila

39c2ecded90a845f1b7fbe269a61bd7f[1]  “You snore like a lumberjack and curse like a sailor.  I think I fell in love.”  ~Jack 

profile-hearts-dividers

All in all this was a fantastic read and I found the friendship to lovers buildup was very gratifying.  In the end I found getting to know one another and building a solid foundation of respect is the only way to grow together and learn to love one another.  Insta-Love in the real world might be possible but is just not realistic and frankly does not last.  Instead we read about a kinship of friends building a refreshing tale of a love that last till the end of time.

Quote:  Everyone should live his or her lives without regret.

Thank you A. M. Madden.

Review – Crashed by K. Bromberg

The Driven Trilogy

by K. Bromberg

17880714[2]

Synopsis

When life crashes down around us, how hard are we willing to fight for the one thing we can’t live without, each other?

Life is full of moments.
Big moments.
Little moments.
And none of them are inconsequential.
Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything.

Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she’s worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don’t deserve?

Love is full of ups and downs.
Heart stopping highs.
Soul shattering lows.
And none of them are insignificant.
Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it’s the expected that’s the hardest to hold on to.

Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love’s not predictable nor perfect—it’s bent. And bent’s okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he’s worth the fight?

Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart?

4 roses emotional romance + overall versatile writing

This is the third and final installment to the driven series and what an intense emotional roller-coaster of a ride.  This book leaves off right where the second one ended with a WOW of a Son of a – Cliffhanger doozy.  I felt everything very intensely, all the emotion, all the drama, all the angst, and all the love in every word written.  This couple shows how the healing power of love stands the test of all times.

“Relationships aren’t easy.  They’re hard and can be brutal at times… but those are the times you learn the most about yourself.  And when they’re right, they can be like coming home… finding the rest of your soul…”

4 heart-throbbing forever hearts couples in love.

Colton Donavan wakes up in the hospital after his near fatal crash in crippling pain and despair, his body isn’t functioning properly and his memories are few and far between, causing confusion in the edges of his subconscious and disjointed memories flicker through his mind.

Rylee is in near hysteria and numb from the soul from watching the horrific crash nearly take her lover, she is blaming herself for fighting and staying up late with him the night before the race.  She is having flashbacks about her own near fatal accident that took her ex-fiancée, Max and her babyher joy, and her hope.

Rylee nurses Colton back to life but it was not easy, she had the strength to fight, for him, for a relationship, for hope, for a future, for their love.  Colton struggled to heal himself, he fought for her love, and in the end he healed her to.

4 emotional teardrops.

Throughout the emotional turmoil and gut-wrenching drama their family and friends were there for them and their support brought unbridled tears to my eyes.  Beckett was a solid rock and the foundation of support for them throughout the story, always cheering them on, always pushing Colton to see more, feel more and be more for Rylee.  Colton’s father Andy had me in tears with his paternal love and his words will be forever etched in my mind:

“The first time I saw him, he broke my heart and stole it all with one, single look.”

“Hurting is feeling and feeling is living, and isn’t it good to be alive?” 

Colton finally opens up his vaulted secrets and lets all his nightmares come to fruition in his one chance at claiming and loving Rylee for his own.  We finally see what kind of emotional scars impact his soul and creates such heavy baggage he must carry throughout his life.  As he shares his past of atrocious acts with Rylee you can clearly see how amazing this heroine truly is.  Smart, strong, perceptive, and very understanding to Colton’s every need.  Sure they stumbled a bit or quite a lot, they were beaten down, built themselves back up and always, always fought for their love.

This is love.  Me and him, making it work.  One being strong when the other is weak.  Thinking of the other first when they know their partner is going to feel pain.

Colton: “You are most definitely the fucking saint I don’t deserve.”

Rylee:  “Every sinner needs a saint to balance them out.”

5 wham-bam, thank you, may I have another! scorching hot kisses Hot-deleicious sex scenes.

Wow this book did not scrimp on the scorching hot love scenes, they were emotional, sexy, mind-blowing, lip biting, and panty dropping Yum-O-scrumpcious!  This author knows how to write a sex scene.  They clearly connect the two characters with emotion in vivid detail.  It was also a very integral part of the storyline and used to enhance the chemistry between them and show the healing power of love they portray to one another and it only made them better, stronger and united them in a long lasting love.

Quotes:

The only reason to kick a man like him out of bed would be to fuck him on the floor.

Never look down on a man unless he’s between your legs.

Never disturb a man when he’s eating at the Y.

In closing this was a fantastic finale full of angst, hope, healing, tears, laughter, friendship, family, and most of all LOVE.  Colton and Rylee deserve their HEA and a love of all time.  This series will go down in history as a romance hall of famer.

Review – Driven by K. Bromberg

The Driven Trilogy

By Author K. Bromberg

17798287[1]

Synopsis

Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…

I am the exception to the rule. 

In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track.

Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.

I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?

Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart?

4 rosesromance

This story is a build-up to a great romance, it starts out slow to create and enhance the sexual angst and tension filled anti climatic love of all time.  There is a lot of back and forth, coming and going, leaving and staying which I find is needed in a modern day romance story, after all this is how you get to know, grow, and learn to love someone.

4  hearts romantic couples

Rylee Thomas is a strong woman trying to overcome a tragedy where she lost her fiancée and the little bun in her oven.  Sheis determined to help and save others less fortunate and starts to build a thriving business which is a home for boys with tragic pasts.  Rylee creates a charity auction, an event to help raise funds for this home for neglected boys and meets the dynamic famous race car driver that totally spins her world off its axis.  She meets this delicious hunk-o-lot in a closet after seeing him in all his man-whoring glory enjoying a steamy kiss with someone she knows from the office and she has a nickname for men like Colton… ACE, which stands for arrogant, conceited, and egomaniac.

Colton Donavan is a famous race car driver without fear, totally self centered,  a spoiled bad boy with a damaged soul.  His sordid past and dark secrets haunt his every thought and even his dreams which makes him a sex only, no strings attached kind of guy.  This seems to work for him until he meets the sweet do-gooder Rylee and helps fund her Corporate Cares foundation of helping kids.  Colton does not know how to express in words the way he feels or especially how Rylee makes him feel, he has trouble communicating with her and the secrets of his past close him off to her.  The word Love does not exist in his vocabulary.

otk 1

Synopsis:

There’s a new guy in town…

“Patrick Knight, single, retired Guard-turned private investigator. I was a closer. A deal maker. I looked clients in the eye and told them I’d get their shit done. And I did…”
Patrick doesn’t do “nice.” At least, not anymore.
After his fiancée cheats, he follows up with a one-night stand and a disastrous office hook-up. His business partner (Derek Alexander) sends him to the desert to get his head straight–and clean up the mess.
While there, Patrick meets Elaine, and blistering sparks fly, but she’s not looking for any guy. Or a long-distance relationship.

Patrick’s ready to do anything to keep her, but just when it seems he’s changed her mind, the skeletons from his past life start coming back.

Excerpt:

Suppressing a grin, I cupped her cheeks again and covered her mouth with mine. Her lips parted, and our tongues met. I felt her relaxing, and in that moment, the questions in my head were answered and the answers satisfied me deeply. She was mine. No matter what came next. With a calm confidence, I knew I’d never let her go again.
My mouth moved to her cheek. “Nobody’s getting over anybody here. So why torture us both?”
Her body shook with her small laugh. “Aren’t you trained for torture?”
“Yes, but you’re not.”
She slid down and put her cheek against my chest again. My fingers threaded into her silky hair. She was so beautiful in my arms.
Her head turned, and she rested her forehead on me, exhaling deeply. “I still don’t want a long distance relationship.”
But her words didn’t knock the breath out of me like the first time. Back then, I wasn’t sure of anything. Now everything had fallen into place. Everything felt possible. I pushed against the mattress, sitting up and bringing her with me. Her green eyes glistened when they met mine, but I smiled.
“So we’ll figure it out,” I said, smoothing my thumbs over her cheeks. “We’ll get through the weeks however we can, we’ll be together on the weekends, and we’ll figure out what the future’s going to look like. This distance is not forever.”
Her head dropped, but only for a moment. When she lifted it again, she moved forward, wrapping her arms around my neck. My hands spanned her waist before sliding up her body to her beautiful breasts. The scent of cactus flower surrounded me, and I lay her back, ready to catch up on all the days we’d missed.
“Now, that first time was amazing, but it went way too fast.” I covered one tight nipple with my mouth and then the other as her little moans began, her fingers threaded in my hair.
“You think?” she sighed.
“Yes,” I said against her body, traveling lower. I kissed her flat stomach, inhaling the warm perfume lingering on her skin. She whispered my name, and I gave her belly one more kiss before catching her thighs and spreading them open…
