#Throwback: Haunting the Night

 Only one member of the Bad Boys Club remains. Hugh. The name of the game is control. Hugh's a lawyer for a well-known defense firm. That was Daddy's choice -- both the profession and the firm. His father's control is second only to that of the wealthy society Hugh moves in. In Hugh's world, image is everything. But appearances can be deceiving. Blond hair, cornflower blue eyes, a cute face and boyish charm belie the shark within... His obsession? Hot cars. And small, blond twinks. Enter Tobis. This sweet young twink isn't at all what he appears to be. Alpha of the Blood Moon pack, Tobis is one of the strongest weres around. And he's on the hunt. Tobis' obsession? Leather. Particularly on his submissive mate. And then there were none...

And then there were none. Haunting the Night brings us the final bad boy’s tale of woe as he falls prey to a more powerful predator… or does it? While each of the novelettes in The Bad Boys Club series can be read as a standalone, I recommend reading them in order as you’ll benefit from a fuller telling of the tales because not only do the bad boys talk about one another in each book, the supernatural creatures they have attracted reveal info about one another as well. And I do believe that Ms. Church saved the best for last with Hugh’s story. No, Hugh is no more likeable or redeemable than his friends – Kain, Jordan, and Allen – and Tobis is no more formidable of a supernatural than Asmodeus or Chaus. The reason I think I enjoyed Haunting the Night more than the others is that Hugh seems to be more self-aware of his deep, dark desires. This is not to say that he submits to Tobis without a fight, because he certainly does try to fight the werewolf’s claim on him. But because Hugh is not satisfied with the life his father has chosen for him and how he must deny his wants in order to maintain the image his father demands, Hugh is quicker to realize the freedom Tobis’s claim offers him. Once he does, he readily accepts his place as Tobis’s mate and it was hot! Gotta love a mating knot. I also enjoyed that the Epilogue was not just for Haunting the Night but also for the entire series, so we got to catch up with all of the boys to see how their new “lives” were. The Bad Boys Club has been an enjoyable series with Haunting the Night being my favorite installment.

This is the last book in the series and was I really enjoyed the others, I didn’t like this one as much.

Hugh, the last of the friends and I think the worst of the lot. Finally meets his match with Tobis, a wolf. Just like the other’s Hugh and Tobis meet at the club, Hugh takes Tobis home and things change in Tobis’s favor. But unlike the others I found this to be a little rougher than the others, and a little too rough for my taste. Once things settled down and they found each other’s secrets, Hugh was finally able to let go of years of his father’s domination over him mentally and be the man he always wanted to be.  And the end, we finally all meet at the bar in England, old friends in new lives and roles. Over all a great little series, happy I was able to read it.

#Throwback: Ditching the Dream

 Feeling dead in her marriage, Elizabeth Fairchild ditches the dream of her seemingly perfect life with her husband in search of who she really is. 

She went from her parents' house to her husband's home and never really learned to stand on her own two feet. She decides to leave her comfortable life in Napa Valley in search of her inner fire in New York City. She certainly didn't leave her husband to find another man, but she soon finds herself involved with two: Jack Stevens and Kevin Parker. 

Jack is older. He has heart-stopping good looks, is wildly successful, and is very much in control of everything around him - especially Elizabeth. 
Kevin is younger. He is carefree with a heart of gold and loves Elizabeth's spunk. While Elizabeth's old life still calls to her, she also finds what she needs in New York. But which dream will she choose?

Elizabeth has been married to her college sweetheart for 22 years.  She has three grown children that are in college and is realizing that she has never been on her own in order to find out who she really is.  She went from her parent’s home to her husband’s and now she’s ready for some new experiences.  So, she goes to NYC where she meets a couple of very eligible men. What will Elizabeth find out about herself when she sees what she’s been missing all of these years?

This is one of those books that is pure fantasy.  I can’t imagine any world where your husband of 22 years just suddenly decides it’s ok for you to go out and “sow your wild oats”.  I mean, I get it, but that kind of bothered me through the whole thing and I think took away from the story for me.  The plot just seemed very unrealistic and while I don’t really read romance to be 100% realistic, I do like an element of it to the stories I read.  It helps me to get into the book and become invested in the characters and while I think this is a well written book, the general plot just left me a bit bewildered.  As a mother and wife this one was just a little hard for me to get into.

I will give bonus points, however, for the sex in this book.  That was spot on and pretty hot, and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  Overall, this was not a bad book at all; I think that perhaps it didn’t appeal to me as a matter of personal taste.  I give it 4 stars.

Rounding the corner of the hallway, I rested my back on the wall and tried to catch my breath and calm my racing heart. I shouldn’t let him talk to me that way. And I shouldn’t be having these thoughts. But… But… It made me feel so desirable. Surely he talked like that to all the women. This was all a big game to him. He couldn’t mean any of it.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable,” he said, appearing next to me. He followed me? 

“Jack, look, things are - my life is just -” He didn’t let me finish. His lips, soft lips, came down on mine. It was rather chaste, somewhat calming, yet firing off all sorts of bells and warnings - and arousal. I closed my eyes and an unbidden moan escaped my throat. 

“Calm down,” he whispered, pulling back. “I won’t do anything you don’t want me to do. But there’s something between us. You feel it, too. I know you do.”

I didn’t protest. I didn’t know why. I opened my eyes to see him regarding me as if I were the most precious thing in the world. His lips again joined mine and this time I kissed him back. It was a dance of lips and tongues that would seduce even the most conservative woman. My hands joined the dance exploring every inch of his extremely well-toned body. Man! This guy must workout for hours every day. His arms, his shoulders, his back… everywhere my hands roamed, they were greeted with taught muscle.

 The short story: I'm the wife of a most fabulous man for twenty years.
I'm a mother of 2 busy teens. 
I'm a dog lover.
I'm a serious drinker of coffee and wine.
I live near New York City.
My favorite place that I've visited is Monte Carlo.
My favorite color is green (but I look best in pink/salmon).
My favorite food is chocolate.
My favorite kind of music is New Country.

The long story:
I've always been a creative sort of person... I started with my college studies in Advertising Design and Illustration. I'm good at drawing and coming up with clever ideas.
As for story telling - well, that's where I have the most fun!  Ditching The Dream is my first novel, but I've been working on writing movies since, what seems like forever. Way back in high school my friend Aimee and I started writing a movie and I was hooked. We didn't know what we were doing, but we loved coming up with the story. I also like to come up with stories about people I don't know. Like the guy that cut me off on the expressway...He had quite a story - at least in my mind! Who knows? Maybe I've come up with a story about you! ;)

Ditching The Dream is a story that came to me while I was helping two author friends of mine. I was helping them with their books and I would make suggestions to amp up their stories along the way. Bev and Amy encouraged me to write my own story and Ditching The Dream was born.  Is it auto-biographical? No, not in the least. But it sure has been a fun story to come up with (especially when my hubby gets involved with coming up with ideas).

#Throwback: Stroke Rate

 Lucien Thorne likes to be in control, but the boy he wants to own may take some convincing.

Gorgeous but shy, Benedict Astor does his best to keep a low profile at the rowing club where he works. However, unbeknown to Benedict, he has attracted the attention of Lucien Thorne, rowing aristocracy, an Olympic medallist and a Lord.

Whilst looking for a new rowing partner, Lucien believes he has found what he needs in Ben. He pushes him to his limits on the water and it becomes clear that rowing with the pretty young man is not his only interest. Ben is attracted to Lucien but confused about his feelings. Lucien is demanding, arrogant and dominant—which Benedict responds to even though he feels he should resist.

Fighting emotions he doesn’t understand, Ben has to contend with the bullying rowing club president and a humiliating auction of promises.

Lucien recognises Ben’s hidden submissive streak and makes his own need for control very clear. He bids for Ben’s time and then forces Ben to admit to his own desire to test the ground between them.

When the deeds to the boat club are gambled away, Lucien and Ben must work together to save it. Will their growing love survive the pressure, Ben’s uncertainty and Lucien’s desire to own him completely?

This book is one that is hard for me to review.  Did I enjoy it? Yes, I really did.  But I kept feeling like I was missing something while I was reading it.
Don't get me wrong, I really loved being able to follow along with Lucien and Ben's relationship.  I really enjoyed how Lucien made sure to draw the line and that he made sure Ben realized that he had a choice in everything.  That part I did really enjoy.
There was a sense of predictability that went on throughout the book as well, and at the time I really enjoyed that because I was hoping for a book that was an easy read, and not something that would have me all over the place.
With that being said, I'm still not 100% sure how I felt about this book.  I can't see myself re-reading it in the future, but I can still see myself reading more from the author in the future.
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a semi-quick read, that does have it's entertaining parts.

#Throwback: A Little Bit Rock & Roll

 

 Kyle thought he had it all. That was until his band's tour bus becomes stranded in Wyoming during an epic snowstorm. When rancher Colt Billings offers assistance, everything Kyle thought he knew is tested and he is forced to face emotions and truths that he has managed to hide most his life.

The last thing Colt needs is an attraction to a young rock star, but ever since he opened his home to the band to wait out the storm, Kyle consumes his mind. Keeping his distance from the long-haired singer is just not an option.

When their two worlds clash, they must work through their feeling as their passion grows, and secrets threaten to end it all. Just when things look like they might work out, tragedy strikes, adding new insecurities and issues the two must overcome, making them wonder if love really is enough.

"Tell me I'm not wrong." Colt's voice lowered to almost a whisper. "Tell me the reason you don't go out with women after your shows is because you don't like women."

Kyle froze, unable to tear his gaze away as Colt's fingers linked with his and he pulled their joined hands up between them and pressed them to his chest. He could feel the beat of Colt's heart through his jacket and his own pounded so hard that he thought it might force its way right out of his chest. He didn't want to pull away, but he never admitted to anyone other than Carl that he was gay. To actually say the words scared him.

"Kyle?" Colt brought their joined hands higher, kissing Kyle's knuckles. "Tell me you want this too."

Kyle couldn't speak so he nodded. He wanted this, wanted it worse than he could remember wanting anything. His blood raged through his veins as he watched Colt turn his hand and kiss his palm before pulling him closer. Feeling their chests brush against each other, Kyle gasped. Colt smiled, dipped his head, and captured Kyle's mouth softly with his own.

Kyle didn't mean to moan, but the soft sound that rumbled through his chest sure sounded like one. Colt's lips moved over his as his body ignited. His free arm came up wrapping around Colt as he felt Colt's do the same to him.

Colt's lips were soft yet firm as they moved over Kyle's for a moment, then opened, gently sucking Kyle's bottom lip between them and releasing, before doing the same to his top lip. Another moan and he parted his own lips, allowing Colt to deepen the kiss as he felt Colt's tongue lick over his lips and slide inside his mouth.

Kyle followed his lead, his own tongue meeting Colt's as their mouth's meshed together harder and the kiss became more demanding. He felt Colt's arm tighten around him and pull them closer until their thighs brushed over each other. Kyle couldn't stop himself from leaning into the embrace and another moan escaped him as he felt both of their aroused bodies brush fully against each other. His cock pulsed, feeling Colt's against it, and he wondered what it would feel like to feel it without the clothes between them.

#Throwback: Not That Type of Guy

 When CIA assassin Aiden Jackson is trapped between a bathroom wall and a hard man, he chooses the hard man, much to his surprise. Aiden doesn’t want to admit he’s gay, but his first stumble into man love leaves him disoriented, searching for answers and desperate to find the truth. He covers his real desires by dating an ultra hot girl, but it’s the guy sitting a few tables away that draws his attention.

Super nice and attractive Doctor Trace Williams is so special he seems like an angel to Aiden. Their first kiss blows Aiden away. That Trace sees into his soul, even when Aiden is trying to hide everything, pisses him off. Aiden needs Trace in his life, but once Trace finds out the truth about Aiden’s job, will they have any part of their relationship left?

What would you do if your lover ripped apart the very foundation of what you believed?

Warning: This book contains sexually explicit content which is only suitable for mature readers. This book deals with difficult subject matter, including abduction, abuse and murder. It also includes amazing sex between incredibly sexy men, masturbation and an engaging story. Enjoy!

Aiden pushed open the bathroom door, surprised when Chuck grabbed his hand and yanked him into the back stall. Chuck turned the flimsy lock on the door, closing them in the small space. Chuck’s hands were on Aiden’s chest, caressing his nipples through his shirt. Anger brewed deep in Aiden’s belly. His phone screeched and he turned it off, checking his watch for the time.

Chuck’s tongue teased Aiden’s nipple through the cloth. Aiden wanted to yank Chuck’s blond wig, pull him away and ask what the fuck he was doing, but the main bathroom door swung open, and the clip-clop of dress shoes echoed in the tiled room.

Was it the guy following them?

Chuck gazed into Aiden’s eyes, and a small smirk tilted his lips before he slanted his mouth across Aiden’s.

What the fuck?

Aiden froze. The extensive shit he’d suffered through in SEAL training, and then with the CIA, helped him keep his cool as the guy invaded his space, kissed him and touched his body like a girl would. Chuck’s tongue probed Aiden’s lips, demanding entrance. For a moment, Aiden wavered on accepting the kiss. He couldn’t do it. It went against everything he’d fought to keep hidden.

His darkest desires were playing out in this kiss. The lust he’d kept in check, the dreams that haunted him, all here, wrapped up in this one fleeting moment of joined lips that was a joke to Chuck, but a fulfillment of desires for Aiden. His breath came in halting gasps as Chuck licked at the slit of his lips. It felt so good. Aiden opened his mouth, admitting Chuck’s thick tongue.

A hint of spice and dark chocolate fired on Aiden’s taste buds, drugging him with the heady clutch of Chuck's embrace. The kiss deepened and Aiden felt a bubble of excitement build in his chest. Mother of God, I fucking like this!

Where the prosthetics weren’t disguising Aiden’s features, the scrape of Chuck’s beard made his skin tingle. A rush of desire flooded his body and zipped straight to his cock. Their tongues warred as Chuck pulled him in close, trapping him in a cocoon of unfamiliar lust and desire.

Aiden barely registered the footsteps of the guy chasing them. He didn’t pay attention to the man outside the stall and when the door burst open from a solid kick, Aiden jumped.

Chuck broke the kiss, his glare deadly. “Do you fucking mind?” he spit out at the intruder.

Aiden kept his face adverted as shame burned through his veins. He should look at the guy, but embarrassment flooded him. Keep it hidden, deny everything. At the last minute he glanced at the guy, trying his best to keep his face covered with his hand as he studied the man following them. His muscles tightened and his cock brushed up against Chuck’s belly, leaving him confused. The shame almost overwhelmed him as his father’s bigoted accusations came back to haunt him.

Chuck pushed the door closed and fumbled with Aiden’s zipper. Cold air shocked Aiden’s senses as Chuck reached in and scooped his dick out of his-body warmed underwear.

#Throwback: Blue Moon Too Good To Be True

 Angel DeLucca is one of the most sought after gay bachelors in Virginia Beach, but when he tries to find true love, no one takes him seriously. After a one-night stand goes wrong, he comes into contact with hunky, straight, firefighter Maximus (Max) Strong, and Angel’s mission in life is now clear.

Max’s older, protective, brother, Ryker secretly craves the attention and praise of a Master. Angel’s Security Chief, Master Dom, Sebastian ‘Bass’ Bagetteli, shatters that secret with their first intense encounter.

These men’s stories will unravel in a whirlwind of romance, bondage, revelations, action scenes, and very hot sex.

“Mmmm, I’ve missed your touch Angel.” Max’s cock was hard as steel. Angel had withheld sex until the doctor confirmed his concussion was not an issue and his lungs were healing fine.

“I missed you too, darlin’…and I need you, but we don’t have time right now, we need to get over to the club. Your brother wants to meet us for lunch.”

“Oh come on baby, my dick is gonna explode if I don’t release soon.” Max ground down hard onto Angel’s cock, pushing him deeper into the plush comforter.

“Well, you will have to wait a little while longer handsome,” Angel teased as he held the end of his braid and rubbed it up and down Max’s neck, then back up to his face, feathering it over his cheek.

“Your hair always smells so fucking good. Feels so soft. I bet it would feel like heaven wrapped around my cock.” Max moaned. His eyes remained closed as he enjoyed the silky texture of Angel’s hair on his face. The smell of almonds and coconut assaulted his senses.

Angel’s eyes went wide at Max’s confession, and he let loose a pained moan. Fuck yeah. In one swift motion Max flipped them over so that Angel was on top of him. He slowly pushed Angel’s head down to his groin. Angel’s tongue came out and licked a path down the length of Max’s hard chest. He dipped into his belly button, eliciting a passionate moan from him.

Max took Angel’s braid and wrapped it around his weeping cock three times. His back bowed off the mattress at the first stroke.

“Oh my fucking God!” Max rapidly stroked the silky braid up and down his pulsing shaft. He thrust his hips in synch with each stroke, as he pumped his dick into the softly braided cocoon. He rose up to look at the erotic scene, and knew he wasn’t going to last long. It’d been at least three weeks since he’d come, and this act was so wicked nasty that it was catapulting him over the edge fast.

“Dammit, you sexy motherfucker! Fuck yeah… take what you need Max.” Max used him, used that long, beautiful hair to get off…and boy was it getting him off. Max’s was in sheer ecstasy.

“Augh! Fuck, Angel…I’m coming…I’m coming!” Every muscle in his stomach was clenched tight, as Max shouted his release. His hot come shot out of him like a geyser. Over and over, ropes of pearly white come coated Angel’s thick braid. Max groaned deep in his throat. His chest rose and fell rapidly with each labored breath. With both hands now gripping his braided-textured cock, he leisurely pulled up and down as he spastically drew out the last bits of his orgasm. “Fuck, babe.”

Max looked back into Angel’s shaded eyes and saw the rabid lust that lingered there. It’d been a long three weeks for both of them. He was in a state of raw lust and desire, unable to control his actions.

Angel climbed up Max’s hard body and sat on his chest. He grabbed a handful of Max’s hair and made him tilt his head back. Angel only had to pump his aching cock a couple times before his come shot out of his shaft, hitting Max’s chin, and neck. “Fuckin’, shit!” Angel growled and bared his teeth as he used his sensitive cock head to smear around the come that dripped down Max’s chin, marking him in the most primal way. Max soothingly rubbed Angel’s strong arms, coaxing him to release the brutal grip on Max’s head. Max felt owned.

“Damn, Angel…that was so good. Shit. Can’t believe you let me do that. I’ve fantasized about it since I first saw you.” He smiled at Angel.

“That was fucking hot. Only you could do something like that to me, love.” Angel looked at his come-streaked braid.

“Fucking right, I’m the only one.” Max grinned.

“Now come on, you’re going to wash your jizz out of my hair…and I’m telling Ryker that his baby brother is a kinky freak with a hair fetish, that’s why we’re late.” Max let Angel pull him up. He turned him to the bathroom and slapped him on the ass. Max helped Angel get cleaned up. They both dressed in casual clothes and headed to Angel’s club. Max finally felt better than he had in weeks.
