EXCERPT: 

He swiftly ripped off his towel and unzipped the jacket to my sweat suit, exposing my bare chest. Al gently kissed my neck, once below my ear then slightly above my collar bone, while sliding the pink fabric off my shoulders. He lightly brushed my curls onto my back and laid me down on top of his sheets.

“Lift your hips,” he said as he tugged my pants off my waist and onto the floor. Rubbing his smooth palms across the top of my thighs, he gradually pried my legs apart and nuzzled his mouth against my wetness.

“Fuck, Allan!” I moaned softly.He grasped a hold of my hips and pushed his tongue further inside of me. My breathing sped up and my mouth opened wide, screaming as I was about to come and he stopped. 

“Not so fast, it’s time to pay up.” He pulled me to my feet then pushed me down to my knees in front of him. “Open up.”

He pumped his cock until it was rock hard and shoved it in my mouth. Slow and steady at first, then he tightly grasped the back of my hair, as he forcefully shoved it down my throat.

“That’s it, good girl.” He gathered the rest of my hair in one hand and slapped the back of my neck with the other.

Make It a Double (Last Call #2) by Sawyer Bennett Review



Synopsis 

Brody Markham has endured a nightmare, spending the last five years in prison and losing everything that was dear to him. Now he’s back home, trying to survive in a world he doesn’t recognize anymore. While his family and friends desperately try to reach through to him, he shelters himself further and further away from their love.

Alyssa Myers has worked her entire life to distance herself from the luxurious and privileged lifestyle in which she was raised. Running her non-profit agency, The Haven, she is content to spend her days helping abused animals find sanctuary, which fulfills her in a way that money just can’t buy.

Maybe it’s that she recognizes in Brody some of the same characteristics she sees in her homeless wards, but Alyssa is powerless to stop her personal quest to make Brody whole again.

While Brody struggles to surface from the darkness, Alyssa tries to protect her heart in case he’s not willing to accept the light that she offers him.

Review

I am in love with the Last Call series, when I read On the Rocks book one in the series I was so interested in Brody I couldnt wait for this book to come out so I could get to know him better.

Brody went to prison, he is now out and trying to live life as a free man but he is struggling. 
He seems like he has a battle going on in his head and every day is a struggle to just be normal, to live day to day. Everyone wants the "old" Brody but he's not coming back, he died when he went to prison and the Brody he is today is what everyone is just going to have to deal with. 

I enjoyed Alyssa's character so much even though she has ALOT of money she is really down to earth and all she wants to do is work hard at her no kill shelter and be with her friends. When she gets in a bind and she goes to ask for help she get the one person she doesnt want any help from.....Brody.

Alyssa doesnt know why Brody hates her so much but at this point she isnt hurt about it she is just pissed off! 

This book kept me so invested in it that I felt like we were one. I read this book non stop until it was done. I dont know if Sawyer could have made it any better! You get a little bit of everything in this one!! Im sure this is going to end up being one of the best books in 2014!!

Shattered (Extreme Risk #2) by Tracy Wolff REVIEW

SYNOPSIS

Ash Lewis has poured every last ounce of his blood, sweat, and tears into reaching the very top of the professional snowboarding world—until the unthinkable happens. After the biggest competition win of his career, Ash’s mother and father are killed in a tragic accident. Unable to handle the idea of going back out on the snow to pursue the dream his parents shared with him, Ash feels that he has no choice but to walk away from snowboarding forever. Then he meets Tansy Hampton.

Wild, fun, and impulsive, Tansy has a different look and a new passion every week. As a cancer survivor who spent the past several years waiting to die, Tansy has a fresh perspective on life—even if she doesn’t have a clue about what she actually wants to do with it. But she’s determined to find out, and that means making the most of her time while she still can.

From the very beginning, their chemistry is intense. But while Ash can’t stop chasing the ghosts of what can never be, Tansy stays firmly focused on the possibilities the world holds for her—and for them. She’s already picked up the pieces of one shattered life. Now she’s determined to help Ash do the same.

REVIEW

I loved this book more then I have any other book in a long time. I read shredded and enjoyed it so much with the way it ended I couldn't wait for this one to come out, and I sure was not disappointed!  

Ash's parents and little brother were in an accident on the way to watch him compete. Both his parents were killed and his brother Logan was injured horrible. I felt so bad for him and the way he was taring himself apart from the inside out! He really was shattered and I felt like one wrong this and he was going to come apart.  He has so much on his plate and if trying to be strong and do what he needs to do but one person can only handle so much stress and heartbreak before they break themselves. 

Tansy, well what to say about her other then I LOVED HER! Her personality alone would have sold me on this book. Her hair a different color every time and how her style would change so drastic was funny but also just showed how much she was trying to figure out who she is other then "cancer girl". Now in remission she wants to live her life and really just figure out who she is. When she meets Ash to try and get him to meet Timmy a teenage boy that is dying and wants to meet Ash as his one wish, she is blown away not only by the attraction she feels for him but she soon finds out what is going on in his life and she seems like the only person that really understands. 

God I could go on and on and on because lets just face it I'm kind of a goner for this book but I wont do that I will leave some to the imagination, But trust me when I say this. YOU HAVE TO READ THIS BOOK! YOU WILL NOT WANT TO MISS OUT ON THIS ONE!

If you haven't read Shredded by Tracy Wolff book one in this series please go check it out too!

Her Desert Treasure by Larie Brannick Review

SYNOPSIS 

Inheriting her grandfather’s ranch is the perfect opportunity for Meg Reynolds to begin again. The land is her only chance to hold onto the last bit of family she had. But Jake Matthews has other plans. He says her grandfather wanted a horse refuge on the land, and despite the heat blazing between them, Jake will do whatever it takes to get what he wants.

When she’s kidnapped, it’s up to Jake to help rescue her before he loses the chance to tell her that he cares more for her than the land that stands between them…




REVIEW

Meg moved to Big Rock after being away for 5 years. Her last living relative her grandfather passes away and left her land.  She has plans she wants to do and so does Jake, a friend her grandfather had she didn't know about. It seems like no matter what either of them want it doesn't matter because someone else has plans too.

I felt this book was a little predictable but it was a nice little treat. It had a bit of everything from romance and comedy to a little suspense thrown in for good measure. 

I enjoyed this book at first I was worried because it started a little slow but it managed to make up for it later. If your looking for a cute read that keeps you on the edge of your seat just a bit then this one is for you.

Jackson’s Sub by Mardi Maxwell REVIEW


Title: Jackson’s Sub
Author: Mardi Maxwell
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance
Publication Date: February 25, 2014



Who will win when a determined Dom pursues a stubborn submissive? A year ago, Jackson Ramsey sent Jenna Parnelle away after she gave him one night of passionate submission. At the time, he’d believed he was saving her from his temper and jealous nature but Jenna believes Jackson had been slumming with the chubby girl from the poor side of town.

A year later she finds herself staying at the Ramsey ranch. Already dreading being in the same house with Jackson, her problems multiply when Jackson begins to pursue her. The last year has taught Jackson that he's not the kind of man who would hurt a woman, much less the only woman he's ever loved. Now he has to convince Jenna, who has decided to protect herself from further heartbreak.

Add to GoodReads


Loved this one! Jenna is my all time favorite! She has spunk and knows how to use it! Jackson is stubborn and sexy as hell.  

Jackson doesn't want to be with Jenna because he doesn't want to end up like his father and treat her like crap, he doesn't even wanna take the chance. So he pushes her away, more like stabs a knife in her heart and twists but hey he got the job done. After that they go there separate ways. When she has to come back to the ranch for her bestfriend its like Jackson is done pushing her away and wants to claim what is his.

Is Jenna just going to lie down and become his without any trouble? HELL NO! She has spunk remember? Of course said spunk seems to get her in more trouble then good but I still enjoy it.

When they get together HOT DAMN its fire! You don't wanna miss this one for sure. It has its fair share of drama and crazy stuff that happens to make it much more then just a DOM/ SUB book which I loved. It gets you invested in the book and those are the best ones!





I’m an avid reader of romance, especially erotic romance, so it just made sense for me to write what I love to read. I began writing short stories in high school but it wasn’t until college that I discovered how much I truly enjoy the writing process—researching an idea, creating an imaginary setting, populating it with characters and then telling their story.

Like most people, life keeps me busy, but I write every day. If I’m not writing, I’m reading or plotting my next book, or the next scene in the book I’m working on. The romances I enjoy the most have laughter, tears, hot lovers who overcome obstacles to be together, scorching-hot sex scenes, and happy endings. The only book I’ll read where one of the main characters dies is a vampire novel where they get to come back for an eternal happy ending.

When I’m not writing I enjoy gardening (unsuccessfully but persistently), spending time with my family and friends, traveling, and dreaming about my next book.
