<i><span id="freeText8971135915199840545">A murderer’s child…A
foster child…A troubled teen…Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has never had an
easy life. Being shuffled from one foster home to another after his
father murdered his mother, he found himself in and out of trouble with
the law. Never giving a damn about himself, let alone anyone else, his
life was spiraling out of control; fast. Until one man and one sport
changed everything. <br /><br />Frankie Carbone taught Saint how to handle
his anger and rejection; by fighting it out in the ring. On his way to
stardom, Saint finds himself pushed into the spotlight and into the arms
of more women than he can ever imagine; he’s completely content with
one night stands and random sex. <br /><br />Then Salem Harris comes walking
into his life and changes his game plan. Saint finds himself wanting
Salem in all the ways that scare him. She is off limits; taken. But that
doesn’t stop Saint from going after what he wants, and he wants her. <br /><br />Frankie
showed Saint a new way of life with Boxing, but will Salem give him the
one thing he's never known – love? Will Saint find himself fighting for
the one thing he thinks he doesn't deserve or will Salem end up
breaking his heart? Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega has had to fight for every
good thing he's gotten in his life. Can he go the distance?</span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I’m not normally a fan of boxing-type books, mainly because
I don’t really “get” the sport, and I don’t really want to learn it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But I took a shot on this book and I can say
that I’m glad that I did because I ended up enjoying the book a bit more than I
thought that I would.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">I did like how Ms. Cervone didn’t make the book all about
boxing, and the parts that were really mentioned about the sport, it was
explained in a way that I was able to follow along and understand it
completely.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The only time the boxing
part of the story got to me, is how when a group of boxers was introduced, and their
names plus their nicknames were given.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>It was confusing for me personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I did enjoy the characters, even though there were some that I didn’t
really enjoy, I still enjoyed following along with the story.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The storyline itself was one that, while I felt
it was a bit predictable at times, I still was able to get into the story and
enjoy it.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Georgia,"Times New Roman",serif;">This is a solid 4 star read for me personally.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t see myself re-reading this book again
in the future, however I do have plans on continuing on with the series to find
out what happens to Gabriel and Salem.</span></div>

She began writing her first book, Broken, in October 2012, as a love story to her husband, Frank. During the writing process, Christa managed to keep her book a secret from the majority of her family and friends, including her mother. She finally revealed that she had written a book on her personal Facebook page just two weeks before Broken was released.
Broken was released in February 2013, and within twenty-four hours of its release, it was on Amazon's Movers and Shakers list as well as in the Top 20 Erotica. Christa released her second novel, On the Ropes - Book One in the Down for the Count series, in February 2014. On the Ropes has also climbed the charts on Amazon, hitting the Top 10 Sports Fiction and the Top 20 Romance Sports Fiction lists. Book Two, Going the Distance, was released July 2014 and claimed the number 3 spot in the Interracial category as well being in the top 20 in Erotica on Amazon.
Limitless Publishing has recently acquired the Down for the Count series and will be re-releasing the series under their publishing label in May 2015.

<i> <span id="freeText14388893685766366145">Be careful what you wish for...<br /><br />The
first time Daroshi spotted Bryan, the Maz’Rarian warrior knew he wanted
the small town sheriff as his mate. Things have been going downhill
since. Daroshi doesn’t have experience dealing with humans, especially a
very unhappy human male who’s just had his well-planned life jerked out
from under him. Little does Daroshi know the changes Bryan will insist
be made to help him adjust. But he also never dreamed someone would
actually try to kill his mate.<br /><br />The shocks just keep coming for
Sheriff Bryan Coltrane. Finding out aliens exist was bad enough. Finding
himself mated to one was definitely not on his to-do list. Wait, what?
Did someone say tentacles? And if that’s not enough, a killer tried to
poison him. Added to his misery, now he’s on his way to another planet—a
planet that he hates on sight. How’s he supposed to survive in such a
cold, ugly industrialized world? Can you take the country out of the boy
without killing his spirit?<br /><br />As Bryan struggles to adapt, a killer plots to end his new life... before it even begins.</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is book three in the series and you must read in order.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This one again is about Bryan and Daroshi although Shawn and
Ziang do play a role in the story. We’ve made it through space, the poising and
now about to land on their new plant and home. Once Bryan and Shawn see the new
planet they are heart sick to see it’s as bland as the ship, browns, grays, no
color. But they are determined to make the best of it. Once Bryan and Daroshi
get to Daroshi home and settle into the new life it becomes obvious that Bryan
is not happy, so they decide to go on a hunting trip were Bryan is the prey.
Little do they know that someone else will be hunting him as well? </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This book is all about moving the story along. Getting Bryan
settled, seeing if this will work, getting to know each other. And it’s a good
story. Couple of twists which are predictable but still very well written and
the sexual encounters are smoking hot. My big issue’s with this one is that we
spent several pages in the beginning and then again later on rehashing the
first two books.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Now, I have to admit
that I don’t know the time gap between releases, but these books aren’t that
long. People can skim read to catch up if they have forgotten obvious plot
points? Why waste valuable page space? give us more story, please.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Also something that bugged me throughout the
book, and I don’t normally bring up covers but I LOVE covers and will buy a
book just based on it. On both the second and third book, we show Bryan
hairless but clearly by the description he is a hairy guy. This really bothers
me; do we just not care enough to get the cover and the character to match? This
time we aren’t left with a cliffy but enough of an open that we will probably
see another couple of books in the series. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">My first book by this author and I have to say I was
expecting so much more. Maybe because it’s only a novella and that’s why I felt
it was lacking. But the whole thing I didn’t feel anything for any of the
characters, and I thought I should have especially since a child went missing,
I should have felt the anguish, right? Also, who keeps a staple gun in the
trunk of their car? Other than those points I did like the fact that the bond
these men clearly had, the family they have created. I liked the wooing touch
they did, by playing the violin. And then the twist at the end. </span></div>

<span lang="EN-GB">Ofelia Gränd is
Swedish through and through. She lives in a small west coast town with her
husband and their three children. She has absolutely no time to write, so,
naturally, that’s what she wants to do. Have you ever tried to write something
with one child in your lap and two more standing around wanting attention?
Ofelia does all the time—try, that is.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-indent: 0in;">
<span lang="EN-GB">She could give up
her glamorous life as a stay-at-home mum, and go back to her work as a teacher.
But why not take advantage of the situation when she’s living in a parental
leave utopia? Enough about her being a parent, you think, and you’re quite
right. Ofelia is a no-poo follower, a pescatarian who bakes her own bread and
makes her own soap—now, you wished that we’d stuck to the children, don’t you?</span></div>

<i> <span id="freeText11589680943714491118">Porter Marshall has
nearly achieved his goal of becoming a Club Sin Master, but his new sub
poses a much bigger challenge than he anticipated. Despite their mutual
attraction and red-hot dungeon sessions, Kenzie Hart plays her own
games. Her bratty, you-can’t-break-me attitude masks terrible personal
hurt—pain that only the exquisite touch of a skilled Dom can release.
But when Porter suggests taking their connection to the outside world,
Kenzie denies him . . . which only makes him want her more.<br /><br />Kenzie
can’t ignore the raw, fierce bond she has with Porter. But she can’t
give in to his dangerous demands, either. Is the passion they share
real, or is he using her to solidify his status at Club Sin? And yet,
who else can she trust with the shattering secrets she holds within? As
Porter expertly brings her to the point of no return, Kenzie surrenders
her body—and, piece by piece, her heart.<br /><br /><i><b>Tamed</b> is an erotic romance intended for mature audiences.</i></span></i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
I have been looking forward to Kenzie and Porter’s story for
a long time! As a HUGE Club Sin Series fan (and an even bigger Stacey Kennedy
fan), this story did NOT disappoint me!</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Kenzie is Club Sin’s resident submissive. She loves to push
the limits with the Masters and is not afraid of their punishment. She is
bratty and does not want to get close to anyone. Including any Master. Porter
wants to be a Master at Club Sin and has some difficult work to do in order to
pass the others’ test – tame Kenzie and get her to truly sub to him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Like any other book in this series, the “scenes” are
scorching HOT!! But, what sets this story apart is that Kenzie is so hurt and
damaged, yet she won’t let anyone close enough to comfort her. She uses her
attitude as a shield to push everyone away. But, Porter pushes past and she
begins to submit to him. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
While this story can be read as a stand-alone, I HIGHLY
recommend you start at the beginning of the series. Each couple/character is
featured in more than one book, creating an amazing world in Club Sin. They are
all well worth the time to read!</div>

Tia Louise is the Amazon Bestselling author of the ONE TO
HOLD series. </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Her debut adult romance ONE TO HOLD was a 2014 "Lady
Boner" award-winner, #1 in Military Romance, and a Top 20 Contemporary
Romance novel for several months. ONE TO KEEP, #2 in the series of stand-alone
novels, followed the same course, with the remaining performing equally well.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
From being a "Readers' Choice" nominee two years
running, to picking up USA Today "Happily Ever After" nods, nothing
makes her happier than communicating with fans and weaving new tales into the
Alexander-Knight world of stories.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
A former journalist, Louise lives in the center of the
U.S.A. with her lovely family and one grumpy cat. There, she dreams up stories
she hopes are engaging, hot, and sexy, and that cause readers rethink common
public locations...</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

It's possible she has a

<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Who in your personal life was the biggest supporter of your writing?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">My
husband “Mr. TL” is by far my biggest supporter. We were both English majors
when we met in college, and he’s an even more voracious reader than I am. So he
thinks its amazing that I’m writing books. He’s also my best brainstorming
partner. Being a lawyer, he helps me think through many of the situations the
Alexander-Knight guys face.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Do you prefer quiet or background noise when writing? If background
noise, what?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Quiet—unless
it’s white noise. Otherwise, it distracts me.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">What is one thing you wish your readers could understand about the
writing process?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
guess how personal it is. Writers work very hard on these stories, developing
these characters. They become like family to us, which is weird because they’re
fictitious. For me, however, even the “bad guys” have some redeeming qualities.
Well, except Sloan. </span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">If your characters could come to life and be a real human, which one
do you think you would get along with best and which one would drive you crazy
first?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve
always thought I would be besties with Elaine—I’m sure I’d love Melissa and
Kenny… heck, all the ladies are great friends. The one who would drive me crazy
first is probably Nikki. LOL!</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">When did you start writing and what was your inspiration?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve
been writing all my life, starting with my first graphic novel when I was nine.
(It was me and my ballpoint pen.) As I got older, I worked as a journalist, I
taught high school English, I was an editor for a while. In my 30s I decided to
start writing books, and it’s been fantastic. I guess my inspiration is all the
great stories I’ve read or watched in my life.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Is there a genre or type of book that you love to read but could
never write and if so why?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
don’t know. I pretty much read what I write. I don’t read much horror, but that
might be hard. Just because I tend to get very emotionally invested when I’m
writing. I have to keep going back to the “bad” scenes and layering in the
emotions so I’m not overwhelmed… LOL!</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">Seeing more and more authors going the "self-pub' route.
Thoughts?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Self
publishing has really made it possible for more and more serious authors to
make a living writing books. Before indie, only a handful—like five to
ten—authors were able to make a living from their books. That is a great thing
in itself.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">How much thought do you as an author put into your cover, cover
models etc. And has that changed since you started writing. If so, have you or
will you go back and re-do covers you’re no longer pleased with?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’ve
always spent a lot of time on my covers, and I’ve always tried to work with
some of the best cover designers available. I hope to one day earn enough to
afford cover models and custom shoots. In the meantime, I’m pretty happy with
what we’ve done.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">What is the most intense scene you have ever written? Did you find
it difficult writing that scene?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Probably
*the scene* in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">One to Protect</i> was the
hardest. Mostly it was because I wanted to be sure I conveyed what was
happening, how it unfolded, and I really wanted to build to it with Derek’s
past and mental state. All of that will come into play in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">One to Save</i>.</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I
stressed out the most about writing *the scene* in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">One to Love</i>—but again, it was more of a build concern. I try to
make these moments as emotional and believable as possible. I was actually
really worried I wouldn’t do Kenny & Slayde’s love story justice.</span></span><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;"><br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<br style="mso-special-character: line-break;" />
<span class="uficommentbody"></span></span></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="uficommentbody" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">If you could write in any genre that you've never tried, what would
it be and why?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="uficommentbody"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">I’m
pretty happy where I am! But I do think that Halloween idea for the One to Hold
crew would be fun. (I.e., Derek as vampire, Melissa as Mina, the Knight
brothers as shifters… Mariska and Elaine as witches… Kenny & Slayde as the
Van Helsings… Sloan as a zombie. LOL!)</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<span class="5yl5" style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: red; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif;">When
writing, what comes first? The characters or the plot?</span></span></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div align="left" class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;">
<span class="5yl5"><span style="font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12.0pt;">Since I have these
characters pretty established in my head, I guess I’d have to say the plot.
Throwing them in these situations and seeing how they’ll work their way out. </span></span></div>

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. <br /><br />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.<br /><br />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. <br /><br /><b>A STAND-ALONE, ONE TO

<i> <span id="freeText3511188676224870499">When Robert Bellamy
signed on with the East India Company and set sail for Calcutta, Lady
Phoebe Tremont took his promise to heart. Their separation would be but
brief; in six months he would send for her.<br /><br />Six years later,
believing her love to be drowned at sea, Phoebe hides her tears behind a
disguise at a masked ball to celebrate her engagement to a dashing
French aristocrat. It is there she encounters a handsome guest costumed
as a rogue of the sea—a pirate. When he drops his mask, she finds
herself looking into a dead man’s eyes. A ghost’s eyes. Robert’s eyes.<br /><br />Through
hardship and degradation, Robert never lost his resolve to return home
to England a rich man. Now a successful ship’s captain, there is one
prize left to reclaim—Phoebe.<br /><br />But the demure debutante he left
behind has grown into a dazzling, decidedly self-determined woman. Nor
is Robert the callow youth who set sail in search of adventure. Yet the
one thing that could win her heart is the very dark truth his pride
warns him never to reveal…<br /><br /><br />Warning: This book contains steamy
sex, some violence—and a hero so swoon-worthy you’ll find yourself

was an enjoyable read the left me looking forward to Ms. Tarr’s next
installment in the series, while at the same time sending me off to search her
backlist to see if she has released Chelsea and Anthony’s story. While Robert
is far more damaged of a hero than I usually get in my historical romances, he
has managed to overcome the horrors he was exposed to during his time away. But
he is soon to learn that while Phoebe has not married another, she is not the
same girl he left behind six years earlier. Ms. Tarr not only takes Robert
through the paces as he attempts to woo Phoebe again, but she also adds a good
bit of intrigue and a bit more spice than I expected to find in a book of this
genre, but by no means am I complaining.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
quite enjoyed the banter between Robert and Phoebe. Much like her actions,
Phoebe’s tendency to bicker with Robert was a sure sign that she wasn’t “over
him.” Quite the contrary, her tendency to lash out merely highlighted how much
his supposed death had broken her heart and how his subsequent desertion had
hurt her. Were it not for all that Robert endured and overcame during his time
away, he may have given up his attempts to win her back. Thankfully Phoebe’s
hardheadedness is matched by Robert’s persistence and love for her, and he
refused to let her wed another without fighting for her. Unfortunately Phoebe’s
intended is not quite the gentleman he purports to be and has no qualms about
fighting dirty in order to thwart Robert’s efforts and I for one was stunned by
the lengths to which he went to secure Phoebe’s hand in marriage.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
was also surprised by the level of intimacies that Phoebe allowed. Despite
being in her mid-twenties and a near-spinster, I was surprised with the
liberties she allowed Robert. My surprise had little to do with the genre or
Phoebe herself – because despite all that she said, her love for Robert clearly
never waned – but rather my surprise had to do with Phoebe being willing to
risk her mother’s wrath. Lady Tremont was certainly a force to be reckoned with
and one I cannot imagine waving the proverbial red flag in front of, but it
merely added to the excitement of their predicament. That said, Robert proved
to be worth the risk and I’m not sure I could have resisted him either had I
been in Phoebe’s position (pun intended). Ms. Tarr does a delightful job of
weaving action, intrigue, steam, and love within this second chance romance
that kept me up late until my eyes would read no longer. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Claimed by the Rogue</i> was a delightful read for me and I look

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This quick 50 page novella is about forbidden love between
brothers, twins. It’s written in opposing points of views, which normally I do
not like, however really works for this story. Both brothers couldn’t be more
different; one owns a bar, outwardly gay, dates all the wrong men but shy. The
other is a life guard, life of the party, never dates and very protective of
his brother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Even though this is a
novella we jump weeks of times, so we cover a lot of details of life events and
what brings them too finally admitting their feelings towards each other. This
is so much more than one of those written for shock value books. And well worth
the read.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I’m not sure how to word this review. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I tried to like this book, but it just didn’t
work for me. The switching POV from 1<sup>st</sup> to 3<sup>rd</sup> is one of
my pet peeves.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>So, that made it hard for
me to want to read this book. </span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The good points about this book are the character
development - seeing Davey’s transformation as he gains power and knowledge was
great.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I love the tie in between the
paranormal world and the Navajo History. That sets this apart from other
paranormal/Urban Fantasy books. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I felt
sadness for Cade and Raine’s losses. I was scared and concerned for Davey and
his future. I was never on the edge of my seat, though, and couldn’t stay
focused on the story until the end. </span></div>

the Witch named Jesse invites him in to help her take the “edge off”. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Unfortunately, the first sex scene leaves a lot to be
desired. More technical than sensual or sexy, it’s not the kind of thing that
makes me want to continue reading.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>During their romp, Lothar has to remove a stick in his ass! (Why? Was
that part really necessary?). The sex was a failure and so he goes home and
leave the Jesse still needing to be satisfied. </span></div>

</span><div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">The sex scenes do get better and the rest of the story gets
good. It’s a quick read with suspense, clan history, and brotherly love woven
throughout. I hope this isn’t the only one and the author makes it into a

on SIN, a twenty-nine year old University lecturer, reach out further
into his future than SIN could ever imagine.<br /><br />In a story, which
seems doomed to start with an end, SIN learns about the forever kind of

shows how twists of fate can take a loving, but ordinary family, from a

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is my first book by this author, and over all I found
it a pleasant read just not my type of book. Too many minor characters and
minor stories going on, not enough focus on the main topic to keep me focused. We
have Charlie, starting a new job because he got fired from his last for being
gay. We have Sam (Sin), who the book revolves around, was gay bashed by his
brother and his brother’s gang. Waiting to go to trail and in the mean time
trying to stay out there way so they don’t finish the job, and Gabe, someone
from the future, his story is explained.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>I just couldn’t get a connection between any of these characters, where
I got the premise of the story, and felt the struggles that not only Sam had to
go through, being attacked twice. The trail, the difficulty dealing with the reality
that his brother did this to him, all would have made for an interesting story.
And then Charlie as well, although we seemed to have had lost his story
somewhere along the way? The whole futurist soul mate thing, just threw me. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<i> <span id="freeText2464518265376087966">Every ten years a
convention is held in a neutral location where people from all the
realms come together and reunite. This is no ordinary conference,
though, because everyone who shows up holds a place of honor in the
legends of old. But there’s one person who doesn’t care that Earth is
neutral territory. The Evil Queen, Naomi, is out to settle a score, and
she’s brought along one of her most talented henchman to teach the one
who got away a harsh lesson. <br /><br />Snow’s past is shrouded in mystery.
Mild cryptozoologist by day, private investigator by night, Snow is
dead set on one thing — staying far away from the Huntsman who haunts
her dreams. When she shows up to the conference with her two best
friends in tow, things start going awry right away. Mere minutes after
arriving, they find themselves thrust back into the world they’ve tried
so hard to avoid. Now, along with the help of her friends, Snow is
struggling to stay one step ahead of the queen who wants to destroy her —
and the Huntsman who wants to possess her at all costs. <br /><br />The hunt for Snow is on. But who will find her first?</span></i>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Set in the modern world, The Hunt for Snow is a twist on the
fairy tale we all know and love. After the Huntsman was sent by her stepmother,
Naomi, to kill her, Snow flees to Earth to escape. With nothing but the silk
dress on her body (and a bag of jewelry from her father), Snow creates a new
life for herself. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I really like how the author turned an old fairy tale into a
new one. Snow is now a PI at night, living with her best friends Belle (yes,
that Belle) and Cyndi (aka Cinderella). She is not a wall flower or wishy washy
character, but a kick ass heroine who knows how to defend herself. I love that
about her!<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She receives a personal
invitation to the Magical Convention and her roommates make her go. Once there,
she finds out that she has 72 hours to return to the Castle that was once her
home or lose her inheritance. Of course, she has to avoid the Queen (Naomi) and
the Huntsman who want to kill her. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">What I loved about this story – Snow’s attitude, the
appearances by other fairy tale characters, the action and suspense in the
story, and the writing. What I did not like was the ending cliffhanger!!! </span></div>
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is an amazing and fun story that is well worth the time
to read! </span></div>

<i> <span id="freeText12098272400326673418">Love........................The Ultimate Loss of Control<br /><br />
Rain and Raven Medici are identical twins. Although they come from a
loving close-knit family their childhoods couldn’t have been more
different. Raven went to school and was exposed freely to the outside
world. Rain on the other hand was born with a blood disorder and denied
many normal childhood experiences.<br /><br /> Once grown, Raven becomes
a lawyer at their dad’s firm Kane & Medici in NYC. Rain along with
her only childhood friend Tommy Conte, builds a very successful business
as professional photographers. Traveling between Europe and Manhattan,
and enjoying a world that was kept from her, Rain vows never to be
controlled again.<br /><br /> Dominick Kane is a product of his
upbringing. He’s powerful, self-assured and knows he can achieve
anything he desires. Nothing gets in his way. There is only one thing he
has ever failed at. A relationship with his father Vincent Kane. Upon
his father’s death, Dominick vows revenge. The events he sets in motion
put him on a collision course he himself will be unable to control.<br /><br />
In a bizarre twist of fate, Dominick kidnaps Raven as part of his
plan for revenge. Only to discover afterward, he has taken Rain by
mistake. Rain knows she can never survive being confined again. So she
strikes a bargain with the devil and agrees to help Dominick get back
what he feels rightly belongs to him. His father’s share of Kane &
Medici.<br /><br /> Dominick decides to use the strong attraction growing
between Rain and himself to control her in every way imaginable. Too
bad no one ever taught Dominick you can’t control the heart. Nothing
could have prepared him for the effect Rain would have on his.<br /><br />
Will this plan of revenge turn into unconditional love? Or will
Dominick and Rain’s need for control ultimately destroy them and any
possible chance for a real future<br />together.......</span></i></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
was quite excited to start this book today. I loved the premise of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miss Taken</i> – the bad guy falling in love
with his captive because he abducted the wrong twin. When I began the book I
was even more excited as it was narrated in the first person from Rain’s point
of view. However, within a few pages my excitement began to dim because the
author kept switching from present tense to past tense, the transitions were
not only jarring but they were a sign of poor editing. As <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miss Taken </i>was available on Amazon, I downloaded the sample to set
my mind at ease about the editing. However, the sample showed that the tense
issues were not only not corrected during the editing process, but the author’s
edits were also visible in the purchased copy. What do I mean by this? You can
see where someone has stricken out the text and made changes; for example: <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">There had <s>It had</s> never been a sexual
relationship between Tommy and me.</i> Not good, but ultimately not the reason
for the low rating.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Despite
this and because I received a review copy, I soldiered on in the hopes that the
story would suck me in to the point that I could overlook the errors and tense
issues as I have found – on more than one occasion – a diamond in the rough, a
great story hidden within bad editing. Sadly, this was not my experience with <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miss Taken</i>. As I said, the premise was
great but the execution was not. I found Rain to be extremely disappointing as
a female lead. Initially she comes off as a strong and sassy woman, living her
life to the fullest despite a somewhat debilitating medical condition. Yet time
and time again, her behavior was equivalent to that of a doormat. Just when I
thought she found her backbone, she’d cave at Dominick’s first apology OR even
worse, apologize to him first for something that was his fault. I lost track of
the number of times that she allowed Dominick to walk all over her – it was bad
enough that the final time in this installment that she left him did not leave
me with the expected feeling of suspense I know the author intended. As for
Dominick, egomaniacal does not even begin to do him justice. Add to that his
volatility and obsessiveness, it was too much for me to stomach which is why
Rain’s constant forgiveness made no sense to me. I could not relate at all.
This left the story feeling flat and disjointed for me.</span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">I
usually give a book two stars when it falls within the “Just okay” area and
reserve one-star ratings for books that leave me thinking “I hated it and I
want my time back.” I didn’t hate <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miss
Taken</i>, so it’s not really a one-star read, but I didn’t consider it “just
okay” either. It was more of a situation where I really didn’t care what
happened to the characters and there just wasn’t that much that appealed to me,
no matter how much I tried to like it. I enjoy abductor-abductee romances and
have many in my Kindle library that I have read and reread. I was looking
forward to adding Ms. Scornavacca’s Miss Taken series to my collection but
sadly that will not be happening as <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Miss
Taken</i> didn’t work for me left me with no desire to continue the series.</span></b></div>

family has Earth-claimed the Bellwood territory for generations and
they've always had an excess of Earth energy to back it up. Until
Carter, whose energy is barely a fraction of that his mother has. But
he's the only Earth wizard in his generation and set to inherit the
territory—if there's anything left of it. The territory is being ravaged
by a disease that kills all plant life it comes into contact with. They
can't cure it, can barely contain it, can only watch as their territory
turns into a barren landscape.<br /><br />Then a new Earth wizard shows up.
Tai is everything Carter is not when it comes to the strength of his
magic, and more importantly he knows how to cure the disease. But he's
also terrified and clearly on the run from something, and Carter's not
sure Tai's help is worth the risk of him trying to stake his own claim
on the territory—or the risk that whatever he's running from finds
him...</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This story was a bit slow moving for me. The writing was
great, but the story dragged in areas. I did enjoy the growing friendship
between Carter and Tai. With that said, the epilogue was a shocker because the
rest of the story was not as graphic. It could have worked without the one-time
sex scene. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">While the Wizard World was creative, it was chaotic and

we have a lot of characters so this is not one you can skim or read while doing
other things. It’s not complicated just involved. The two main MC’s Mo and
Armin are wonderful together, this is a fade story, no heavy sex scene, but it
doesn’t need any. You can feel the connection between these two without
it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The simple touches, the looks. The
comradery between all the secondary characters even though most have been
thrown in together to figure out and fight the unknown is so well written, it’s
amazing. And once you figure out what the ‘unknown’ is. Wow! And really the

<i> <span id="freeText3660888531515304131">Being kidnapped by
bikers is a harrowing experience, but for some reason, Laurie doesn’t
feel as terrified as she should. The leader’s steely eyes soften when
he looks at her, and the others in his gang clearly know she’s hands
off. But does that include Steele's hands? Her brain resists him, but
her body insists she wants those big hands all over her.<br /><br />Steele
doesn’t know how he wound up in this mess—with a kidnapped woman on his
hands and the police hot on their trail. Now he and Laurie are in
hiding at an isolated cabin, and Steele has to figure out how to
extricate himself...and steer clear of his accidental captive whose
tight, slinky clubbing attire is making him think all kinds of dangerous
thoughts…</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is a short story that is part of a six-part
series.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It is pure and absolute fantasy
because I can’t imagine this scenario working out in real life on any level at
all.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But, for what it is I found it to
be intriguing.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a sexy book with a
lot of very sexy scenes that really pushes the vanilla envelop.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I don’t think this book is for the faint of
heart because this a pretty hard core story that has some, um, wild sex acts
involved in it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>But it’s also a story of
a woman’s self-discovery, which is an interesting layer to the story.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I’ll just put it out there that I am not a fan of

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I had some issues with the pace of the story, but with such
a limited amount of space to work with I suppose it’s unavoidable.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The MC in this book didn’t really seem very
realistic to me either.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Of course, my
expertise is limited to other MC books I read, but the lines in this club were
very blurred between who was supposed to be in charge and the other
members.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Not very gang like.</span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Wow! This was a HOT and fun read!! Steele and his MC gang
are recruited to kidnap a friend’s sister to protect her from her sketchy
boyfriend. Donovan, the boyfriend, is controlling, manipulative, and abusive to
Laurie and shows his true colors when confronted by Wild Card (one of the
gang). Steele just wanted to keep an eye on the girl, but Wild Card has no
choice but to save her from further abuse and takes her to a deserted cabin the
guys are all staying at.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She tries to
escape multiple times to no avail. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steele comes home from celebrating his birthday and thinks
the girl in his bed is his present. But, no, it’s Laurie and she is handcuffed
and scared to be alone in the room with the big, sexy biker. The sexual tension
between the two is off the charts!! Steele tries to prove that he is not going
to hurt Laurie, but she doesn’t believe him.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>On one of her escape attempts, she goes to the swimming hole where
Raven, Rip’s girlfriend (but everyone is allowed to play with her) and thinks
Raven is being attacked by 2 men. She runs to Steele for help and the scene
turns SPICY! LOVE that particular scene the most in this book!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">Steele has to keep Laurie safe until her brother gets back
to town. While, this may seem like a typical good girl/bad boy love story,
their chemistry is off the charts and they eventually have some fun while
waiting. </span></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;">This is a fantastic read! I recommend it to anyone that
loves a quick, spicy, fun story! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">Overall I it was a likable story, once I figured out who
everyone was. It was a nice storyline, closet case, finds love in another band.
Doesn’t tell anyone, people find out and think he’s joining that band.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Instead they are meeting up around the world
and going at it, like bunnies.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Cooper
was a likable guy, down home and Dai off the charts gay.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Interesting match, but it worked. The
secondary was likable as well, as you got to know them towards the end. Although,
I have to say, I didn’t feel any lasting connection with any of them. The time
frame also confused me and kept me from loving this story, I got the five year
jump. But after that we were all over the place, meeting not meeting but no
since of how long apart, where are we? Or at least I didn’t get one. Couple of
others things just didn’t work for me either. </span></div>

What the heck was that? That wasn’t a cliffhanger. I’m not hanging from a cliff
here! I’m sliding down the mother-freaking summit to end all mother-freaking
summits!!! I understand how Jethro feels because I feel like I’ve been buried
under an avalanche of emotions. I’m overwhelmed, yet numb. My mind has been
boggled.</span></b></div>

Debt</span></i></b><b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">
is an intense series of highs and lows. I don’t want to call it an emotional
rollercoaster because there’s not a lot of happiness found within and what bits
of happiness do occur are tainted by the darkness that pervades the Hawks. It’s
a bad case of whiplash in the very best way. This installment picks up right
where <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Second Debt</i> ended, with Nila’s liberation
from Hawksridge Hall. Nila has no understanding of the repercussions her
departure will cause and as awareness sets in before she has even left the
grounds she tries to return to Jethro but is unable to. As Nila learns yet
again that she has absolutely no control over her life, Jethro is forced to
face his failure in collecting the debts. Cut’s cruelty knows no bounds, but he
attempts to convince Jethro (and the reader) that he does love his son as he
offers Jethro an alternative. Yet all are aware that there is no choice being
given, rather Jethro’s trading of one cage for another. </span></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">As
the third debt must be paid, it is obvious that Nila must return to Hawksridge.
And while she does so with a plan, she underestimates Cut’s cunning and finds herself
in a worse situation than in the beginning. The level of detachment and
coldness that Jethro displays in <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Third
Debt</i> exceeds that of previous installments, yet Cut’s cage proves to be an
unworthy opponent in the face of Nila’s love. But a woman in love can only
endure so much abuse of her heart, body, and trust before that love is snuffed
out and the third debt promises to do just that … cut the tie that binds Nila
and Jethro once and for all. Yet again I found myself disgusted by the Weaver
ancestor’s behavior that led to the third debt. Honestly, I’m not sure whose
depravity disgusts me more – the Weaver ancestor or Cut and Daniel. Granted,
Kes and Jethro are not innocent in their actions, but they don’t take pleasure
in collection of the debts the same way that Cut and Daniel do. And that
ending. I have not felt the fear for Nila in any of the installments that I do
now for her. I see the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fourth Debt</i> as
a train wreck (and I’m not talking about the writing) – I don’t want to be
witness to the horrifying events that are soon to become a part of Nila’s life
and yet I can’t NOT see them. I HAVE to know what comes next. I have to know if
the ending of <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Third Debt</i> is as it
appears or not. I take nothing for granted when it comes to Ms. Winters’
writing and thus begins the countdown to the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Fourth Debt </i>AND the <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Final
Debt</i>. Fingers don’t fail me now.</span></b></div>

<i> <span id="freeText10694055547277631978">With a famous NHL
player for a step-brother, Violet Hall is well acquainted with the
playboy reputation many hockey stars come with. She’s smart enough to
steer clear of those hot, well-built boys with unparalleled stamina.
That is until she meets the legendary team captain—Alex Waters.<br /><br />Violet
isn’t interested in his pretty, beat-up face, or his rock-hard six-pack
abs. But when Alex inadvertently obliterates Violet’s previous
misapprehension regarding the inferior intellect of hockey players, he
becomes more than just a hot body with a face to match.<br /><br />In what
can only be considered a complete lapse in judgment, Violet finds out
just how good Alex is with the hockey stick in his pants. But what
starts out as a one-night stand, quickly turns into something more.
Post-night of orgasmic magic, Alex starts to call, and text, and e-mail
and send extravagant—and quirky—gifts, making him difficult to ignore,
and even more difficult not to like.<br /><br />The problem is, the media portrays Alex as a total player, and Violet doesn’t want to be part of the game.</span></i></div>

MY!! GOD!!! <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pucked</i> was freaking
hilarious. The romance is heartbreaking and heartwarming. The sex is
unbelievably hot. But it is the massive amounts of humor that Ms. Hunting
infused throughout the book that completely made it for me. I chuckled. I
giggled (I know!). I snickered. I snorted. I guffawed. I was even ROTBLMAO (B =
bed) at this book. You give me a synonym for laugh and I probably did it at
least once while reading <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pucked</i>. </span></b></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Violet
is a hoot. She is one of those unfortunate souls who is a tad bit nerdy (her
opinion), socially awkward, and whose brain-to-mouth (B2M) filter malfunctions
regularly. The problem with this is that her stepbrother Buck is a professional
hockey player and her stepfather Sidney is a hockey scout, so she often finds
herself thrust into social situations that just seem to highlight her B2M
filter problems. Well, it’s a problem for Violet, not the reader because we are
treated to so much intentional and unintentional humor with Violet’s propensity
for mouthing off at Buck and her overall nervousness in social situations. And
it seems as though her sense of humor catches the attention of Alex, one of her
brother’s new teammates. A teammate whose manwhore reputation rivals that of
her brother’s. A teammate who Violet finds herself immensely attracted to yet
repelled by because he is a hockey player. But when Alex reveals himself to be
more than just a pretty face, all bets are off and Violet gives him a chance to
prove that he really does want to be more than his reputation. </span></b></div>

<b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><span style="font-family: "Agency FB",sans-serif; font-size: 15.0pt; line-height: 115%;">Violet
and Alex are a great couple. I loved their banter and that they were able to just
have fun with each other. That they had chemistry that was only outdone by
their sexual appetites for one another was one heck of a bonus because Ms.
Hunting can write some REALLY great sex scenes. Their relationship develops
gradually and proves to be very entertaining … until the shot heard ‘round the
(sports) world. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Just friends</i>. I
actually groaned in pity for Alex when Violet heard him utter those two
words…to a reporter…during a national interview. At least when Alex does it, he
does it big (pun intended and an inside joke you’ll get when you read the book).
And after such a spectacular failure, Alex had to make an equally spectacular
attempt to fix his mistake. I loved that Violet didn’t cave immediately when
Alex attempted to apologize. I also loved that her friends and family were
there to support her and run interference for her when Alex would try to see
her. Thankfully she didn’t have that gaggle of girlfriends who thought that he
deserved to be forgiven just because he was a hot hockey player (yep, those
characters do exist in books). I absolutely loved the ending, especially the
cape – yet another hilarious Violet incident. In case you haven’t figured it
out yet, I LOVED <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Pucked</i>. I cannot
wait to reread it and I will be purchasing a copy of it for my Kindle library
(THAT’S how much I enjoyed reading it).</span></b></div>

breathe. She reacted instantly, desire tightening, coiling within her

intensity between them, one troubled past—and a powerful
secret—could tear them apart forever…</span></i></div>

love affair between Rhys and Lily heats up in Part 3 of <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Night’s Blaze</i></b>. Many more
secrets are revealed and new characters are introduced including Mikkel. I’m
not going to reveal who he is exactly but let’s just say he’s definitely
complicating and spicing things up.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span><br />
<br />
Rhys is finally able to admit that Lily is his mate. He’s laid it all out on
the line revealing his true origins and what Dreagan really is. Lily has in turn
opened up and told Rhys about Dennis and how he’s blackmailing her. With their
secrets revealed to one another, the two have forged an even stronger bond but
before Rhys and Lily have a chance to explore that bond they have to outsmart
Dennis and the rest of their enemies who are intent on getting hold of a
special weapon, the only weapon capable of killing a Dragon King.<br />
<br />
The questions and suspicions regarding Ulrik and his exact part in taking down
the Dragon Kings is brought to light in Part 3. Ulrik is an even more complicated
character than I imagined. He’s not exactly a bad guy but he’s definitely not a
good guy and after reading the story of how it went down when his woman was
killed I can’t exactly blame him for holding a grunge against Con. I feel bad
for Rhi. I’m not sure she has the emotional strength to ignore the pull from
the darkness inside her anymore but I have my fingers crossed that things turn
out well for her. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br />
</i></b><br />
Part 3 is another well-written and exciting story full of action and romance
that will have you immediately moving on to Part 4 which is what I’m going to
do right now. </span><br />

The final installment in the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Night’s Blaze</i></b> novella had
my heart pumping. I couldn’t read through it fast enough to find out how things
were going to end for our hero and heroine. It was a bumpy ride full of happy
and heart wrenching moments. At one point I wasn’t sure I wanted to continue
the story thanks to Donna Grant taking my heart and tearing into tiny pieces
but don’t worry I was able to pick the pieces up and put them back together
thanks to some magic and to Ulrik. <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;"><i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><br />

</i></b>I’m not going to delve too much into what happens in this final

unpredictable twists in the storyline and we are left with even more questions
than answers concerning what is to come next for the Dragon Kings, the battle

<b>She lives by the book—and is still searching for her happily ever after.</b>
</i><br /><br />Darcy Wilde has tried hard not to live up to her last name.
As a librarian in Atlanta she lives a fine life far away from the
football-obsessed town of her childhood. But when her beloved
Grandmother needs help, Darcy takes a leave of absence and heads back to
the home and past she left behind.<br /><br /><i>
<b>He knows how to play the field—and is in no rush to settle down.</b>
</i><br /><br />Robbie Dalton knows a thing or two about painful pasts.
After bouncing around in foster care and the Army for years he is
finally ready to move on and make a home for himself in Falcon, Alabama
as the newest high school football coach. Sparks fly when the sexy new
coach and the sharp-tongued librarian meet, but neither of them is
looking to make ties.<br /><br /><i>
<b>But when it comes to love, sometimes you’ve gotta throw away the rule book to cross the finish line…</b>
</i><br /><br />Everything changes when Darcy falls in love, not only with
the gruff, protective, and smoking hot man who's sharing her days and
nights, but also with the complex tapestry of people who weave Falcon
together. Could this be where she belongs - and who she belongs with?</span></i></div>

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Darcy has taken a sabbatical as a librarian and comes to
Falcon to take care of her grandmother.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

brings up that she wanted to leave behind.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I was taken a bit by surprise at how much I liked the
characters in this book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Darcy is a
witty, sassy, warm and very loveable character with past hurts that I think
anyone can understand.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>And Robbie was a complicated
and sad character that I couldn’t help but fall for a little bit myself.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>His story is so sad and heart wrenching you
just want to grab him up and give him a hug.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">

into.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I can totally see why Darcy fell

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Of course, this isn’t one of those tales where everything
goes smoothly, but I didn’t find the plot and the drama to feel really forced
or manufactured.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I think it may have
been just a smidgen predictable, but overall I really enjoyed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>It’s a much layered story with complicated
characters that really make the entire story one you can’t help but get wrapped
up in.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>4 stars.</span></div>

comfortable. He has a good job, great friends, and he gets paid to do
what he loves—sculpt. His life is great, if a little predictable. And if
he secretly wears a plug to Corner Pub every Thursday, well...that's
nobody's business but his.<br /><br />But when Toby meets Damon, his
predictable little life flies right out the window. Damon shows him the
big, wide world of the Dom/sub lifestyle, plugs and piercings, and
teaches him that maybe, unpredictable is exactly what Toby needed all
along.</span></i>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">As with any Sean Michael books, they are very sexual, anyone
reading them knows that so I’m not going to discuss that part. What I loved was
the fact that these two MC’s circled each other for three years before Damon,
finally had enough and approached Toby. Toby for the last three years has been
coming to Damon’s bar every Thursday and ordering two beers, sitting on the
same stool and leaving. Damon had had enough and finally spoke to Toby. After that
initial conversation leads to an amazing intense start to a relationship that
neither one was expecting but both want. I liked the patients that Damon shows
Toby. And Toby’s naiveté towards all things sexual but is willing to try. My
only issue was everything felt rushed, considering Toby’s situation, the repeat
use of one sex toy (we get it) and then the drama at the end.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">This is book two of the Beer and Clay series and has to be

<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Trebuchet MS",sans-serif;">I loved this book, the sex, the drama, the building of the
relationship. What a great mix. We are still focused on Toby and Damon and the
brand new relationship as well as the drama that just happened at the bar.
Damon is still trying to get Toby out of his shell and it’s interesting to
watch the process. We are also introduced to a couple of new characters that
hopefully we’ll get their own books. The chemistry in and out of the bed room
for these two is amazing. Some of the best this author has ever written. What
I’m enjoying the most is, both want a D/s relationship but because Toby has
never been in one Damon is introducing Toby to it slowly. Unlike most D/s books
I’ve read we’re the people just jump in regardless.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Can’t wait to read the next installment. </span></div>

then there were none. <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Haunting the Night</i>
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 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Haunting the Night</i> 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 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Haunting
the Night</i> 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 <i style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;">Haunting the Night</i>
being my favorite installment.</span></b></div>

<span style="font-size: small;"><i> <span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">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. </span><br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">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. </span><br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /><br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Jack
is older. He has heart-stopping good looks, is wildly successful, and
is very much in control of everything around him - especially
Elizabeth. </span><br style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;" /><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;">Kevin is younger. He is carefree with a heart of gold and loves Elizabeth's spunk. </span></i><span style="font-family: verdana,arial,helvetica,sans-serif;"><i>While Elizabeth's old life still calls to her, she also finds what she needs in New York. But which dream will she choose? </i></span></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Elizabeth has been married to her college sweetheart for 22
years.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>She went
from her parent’s home to her husband’s and now she’s ready for some new
experiences.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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?</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">This is one of those books that is pure fantasy.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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”.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;">
</span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>As a mother and wife
this one was just a little hard for me to get into.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">
</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">I will give bonus points, however, for the sex in this
book.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>That was spot on and pretty hot,
and I thoroughly enjoyed it.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>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.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>I give it 4
stars.</span></div>

<div style="font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; margin: 0px;">
<span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-size: small;">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.</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to make you uncomfortable,” he said, appearing next to me. He followed me? </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>“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. </span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>“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.”</span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px; min-height: 14px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="font-family: Helvetica; margin: 0px;">
<span style="font-size: small;"><span style="white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span>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.</span></div>

<b style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 24px;">The short story: </b><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">I'm the wife of a most fabulous man for twenty years.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">I'm a mother of 2 busy teens. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">I'm a dog lover.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">I'm a serious drinker of coffee and wine.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">I live near New York City.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">My favorite place that I've visited is Monte Carlo.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">My favorite color is green (but I look best in pink/salmon).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">My favorite food is chocolate.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">My favorite kind of music is New Country.</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 24px;" />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">The long story:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">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.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">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! ;)</span><br />
<br style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; line-height: 24px;" />
<span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif; font-size: small; line-height: 24px;">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).</span><br />

<i> <span id="freeText14480257537592786290">Lucien Thorne likes to be in control, but the boy he wants to own may take some convincing.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />Fighting emotions he doesn’t understand, Ben has to
contend with the bullying rowing club president and a humiliating
auction of promises.<br /><br />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.<br /><br />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?</span></i>

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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
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.<br />
I would recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a semi-quick read, that does have it's entertaining parts.<br />

countryside, surrounded by rolling hills, cows and sheep. She started writing
to fill time between jobs and is now firmly and unashamedly addicted.</span><br />
<span lang="EN-GB" style="font-family: "Arial",sans-serif; font-size: 11.0pt; mso-bidi-font-size: 12.0pt;">She loves the English weather, especially the
rain, and adores a thunderstorm. She loves good food, warm company and a
crackling fire. She's fascinated by the psychology of relationships, especially
between men, and her stories contain some subtle (and some not so subtle)
leanings towards BDSM.</span><br />
