CONGRATULATIONS TO NICOLE ON THE RELEASE OF
CRAVING REDEMPTION ~ BOOK 2 IN THE ACES SERIES…..
Blurb:
“Asa and Callie had nothing in common. He was an Ace, raised in the club and loyal to it above all else. She was a high school student with braces on her teeth and a narrow view of the world.
They should have never crossed paths.
But when Callie decides to defy her parents, and Asa goes on an errand for the club, their lives collide. He saves her, and she mesmerizes him.
They part believing they’ll never see each other again.
Neither could have predicted the chain of events they’d put in motion.
Now the two have to navigate the dark waters of a relationship built on tragedy and need without drowning in guilt for things outside their control.
How do you love someone when the worst decision of your life was the reason you met them?”

Nicole Jacquelyn bio
Nicole Jacquelyn is the mom of two little girls and a full time college student. She hasn’t watched television in well over a year, she still does things that drive her mother crazy, and she loves to read. At eight years old, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up, she told people she wanted to be a mom. When she was twelve her answer changed- to author. By the time she was eighteen, when people asked her what she wanted to do with her life, she told them she really wanted to be a writer- but the odds of that happening were so slim that she’d get her business degree “just to be safe”. Her dreams stayed constant. First she became a mom, then she went to college, and during her senior year- with one daughter in first grade and the other in preschool, she sat down and wrote a story.

COVER REVEAL – Taming The Storm by Samantha Towle
We are so excited to share with you the cover for book #3 in The Storm Series by Samantha Towle – Taming the Storm. This is Tom’s story!!
![Pageflex Persona [document: PRS0000038_00074]](http://shhmomsreading.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/Taming-The-Storm.v3-e1392840500324.jpg)
Lyla Summers hates men. Okay, maybe hate is a strong word … Lyla intensely dislikes men.
Her father has let her down her whole life. Her brother betrayed her in the worst way possible. And her past relationship experiences with men have been less than great.
Lyla is focussing all her energy into her band, Vintage, so when they receive an offer to sign with TMS Records, it seems that things are finally turning around for her. The last thing she wants is a man getting in the way.
Tom Carter loves women. Okay, love might be pushing it … Tom enjoys screwing lots of women.
When tragedy befalls his best friend, Tom finds himself making a promise to the big man upstairs – he’ll change his ways, if he saves the woman his best friend loves.
Tom’s prayer is answered. Now he has to change. Which means no sleeping around.
After Vintage’s manager breaks her leg skiing, Tom steps in as tour manager, and Lyla finds herself on tour with the man whore of rock.
Put one perpetually horny Tom and one sex resistant Lyla together, equals a recipe for disaster. Or so you’d think…
But an unexpected friendship is formed. A closeness neither of them expected. Putting one chastity belt and one lamp that is in desperate need of rubbing, to the test.
Will the sex storm that is Tom Carter, finally find himself tamed by the rock chick with a hardened heart, or will he go back to his womanizing ways…?
Release Date: Summer 2014
**Message from Samantha: Here it is … the first ever TAMING THE STORM TEASER!!** Now, this is Tom, so expect excessive bad language, vulgarity… you know the drill! If you’re not 18+, then look away now! It’s from Lyla’s POV, and they’re talking about Lyla’s ex-boyfriend. I put this specific piece out, as I want to give you a little insight to Lyla. But anyway… I hope you enjoy it! Oh, and it’s unedited, subject to change, etc.
“My ex-boyfriend, Chad … he’s bisexual. Something he failed to tell me when we got together.” Tom snorts. “You went out with someone called Chad? Who likes cock and pussy. Don’t tell me, he played football…?” I glance up at him through my lashes. The look on his face makes me grin. “Of course he played football.” He lets out a laugh. “So you dumped football playing Chad because he used to bang dudes – bit harsh, Lyla. Even for you.” “No. I dumped him because he continued to bang dudes while we were together … well, just one specific dude.” I pull in a breath. “My brother. They were screwing the whole time we were together.” “Your brother? Shit. That’s gotta hurt. I take back the harsh,” Tom says. Nodding, I take a large drink of my vodka, relishing the burn in my throat as I swallow. He leans across the table, nudging my arm with his own. “Well, he must be a fuckin’ idiot to have cheated on a hot piece of ass like you.” “Coming from you, I’ll take that as a complement.” I laugh. “It was meant as one. And seriously, I don’t get the – dude fucking another dude – thing. Give me a tight, warm pussy any day.” “Too much information, Tom … and seriously you might have to turn to men when you run out of women.” “That’ll never happen.” He grins, leaning back in his chair. “You go through women at the speed of light. It is highly possible that you might have screwed the entire population of the US by the end of this year – excluding me of course – because that’s never gonna happen.” “Of course.” He smirks, bringing his whiskey glass to his lips, taking a drink. I ignore his pointed look. “Honestly, Tom, you do realise that you will run out of women at some point don’t you? What you gonna do then, start recycling?” He clanks his glass down on the table. “Nope. I’m not an environmentally friendly kind of guy. I guess I’ll just have to move to the Canada.” He smirks. “And just so you know, I might go through a lot of women, but I fuck nice and slow … real … slow.” An image of Tom and me, having sex flashes through my mind. My heart speeds up. I can feel my body heating at the thought of Tom and sex and me … him and me … fucking. I know my chest is flushed. I don’t have to look down to see. I know it is, because Tom’s eyes are on it, staring, right now. Stupid traitorous underused, currently oversexed body. Tom’s eyes lift, meeting mine, with knowing. Looking away, I force my spine straight, holding the glass to my chest, trying to cool myself down. “And I need to know your screwing speed, why?” He leans in close … real close this time, leaving our mouths millimetres apart. I gulp down. His hot, whiskey scented breath, blows through my parted lips and fires down signals to my, long unused girl parts, sending them into a frenzy. Shit. Squeezing my thighs together, I bite down on my lower lip to regain control. I will not lose my shit over a man whore. Especially not Tom the man whore. Definitely not Tom. His eyes flicker down to my mouth. “You’re not ready to hear the answer to that question, Lyla.” “And when I am?” ‘When I am?’ – What the hell am I saying! I’ll never be ready for Tom ‘fuck anything’ Carter. Ever. He smiles. It’s lusty, but surprisingly genuine. “Well, when you are ready, let me know and I’ll tell you. Until then … use your imagination.” He stands, running a hand through his hair. “And, Lyla, let it run wild.” With a wink, he’s gone, sauntering through the bar, leaving me and under used girl parts on fire.

Read the books that started it all!!
Book 1 – The Mighty Storm
It’s been twelve years since Tru Bennett last saw Jake Wethers, her former best friend and boy she once loved.
Jake Wethers, sexy, tattooed and deliciously bad lead singer, and brains behind The Mighty Storm, one of the biggest bands in the world, left Tru with a broken heart when he moved from England to America with his family when they were both fourteen.
Sent to interview Jake for her music column by the magazine she works for, they are both unprepared for the sparks that fly the instant they reconnect. Only, there’s a complication to their instant feelings for one another—Will, Tru’s boyfriend of two years.
Then Jake makes Tru a job offer she can’t refuse—travelling the world with him and his band. But taking the job means leaving Will behind, and being on the road with the band means spending an inordinate amount of time with Jake.
Is Tru strong enough to resist the delectable bad boy who once held her heart so completely, or will she willingly risk it all for one night with the world’s most notorious womanizer?
Book 2 – Wethering the Storm
Music journalist Tru Bennett has done the impossible: capture the heart of rock-star bad boy Jake Wethers. Now they’re busy planning a wedding and navigating their new life together in the US. Of course Tru misses London and her best friend, Simone, but living happily ever after with Jake in LA is going to be great…right?
Wrong. Even the bright California sun can’t whitewash the dark side of celebrity coupledom. Greedy music execs, merciless paparazzi, and Jake’s wild past are lurking around every corner. Making matters worse, Jake announces he doesn’t want kids, which just may be a deal breaker.
Tru loves Jake more than anything. But when a devastating crisis threatens to destroy everything they’ve fought for, the couple must face the hard truth: What if, this time, love is not enough?

Spotlight Tour ~ Ink Reunited & Ink Inspired by Carrie Ann Ryan
INK REUNITED (A Midnight Ink Novella)
(Montgomery Ink 0.6)
From the streets of New Orleans and the heat of Midnight Ink, comes the happy ever after for a character whose story was begged to be told.
Sassy Bordeaux is the Midnight Ink receptionist, honorary godmother, best friend to many, and matchmaker expert. In the past two months, she’s watched eight couples fall in love, make mistakes, and find their happy endings. Though she might have had hand in each of those, she’s yet to find the peace she’s desired. When the men from her past come into Midnight Ink, she’s forced to face what she left behind and what could happen if she lets go of her pain and finds a future she deserves.
Rafe Chavez and Ian Steele remember their time with Sassy like it was yesterday, yet have worked hard to move on. Or at least try to. Now they’re both back in New Orleans for the woman they loved and for the connection they shared with each other. It will take more than the usual groveling, pleading and begging for these three to overcome their history, but once they take that step, the streets of New Orleans will never be the same.
*********************************************************************
INK INSPIRED
(Montgomery Ink 0.5)
Shepard Montgomery loves the feel of a needle in his hands, the ink that he lays on another, and the thrill he gets when his art is finished, appreciated, and loved. At least that’s the way it used to be. Now he’s struggling to figure out why he’s a tattoo artist at all as he wades through the college frat boys and tourists who just want a thrill, not a permanent reminder of their trip. Once he sees the Ice Princess walk through Midnight Ink’s doors though, he knows he might just have found the inspiration he needs.
Shea Little has spent her life listening to her family’s desires. She went to the best schools, participated in the most proper of social events, and almost married the man her family wanted for her. When she ran from that and found a job she actually likes, she thought she’d rebelled enough. Now though, she wants one more thing—only Shepard stands in the way. She’ll not only have to let him learn more about her in order to get inked, but find out what it means to be truly free.
This is the prequel novella to the Montgomery Ink series. This was first published in the Midnight Ink Anthology.

About Carrie Ann
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon
MY REVIEWS
INK REUNITED:
After reading Midnight Ink I felt that Sassy needed her own story – we knew all about the friends that Sass had helped find love but what about the girl herself – so when Carrie Ann announced she would be releasing Ink Reunited and telling the story of THE Sassy, I couldn’t wait to read it!!!
Sassy, Ian & Rafe were a great triad. It was obvious from the outset that they all still loved each other despite their history and the things that went wrong… following them trying to overcome their fears, concerns and the attempts to pull them apart from outside sources just made you root for them to work things out even more and hope for the HEA that they all truly deserved!!
Loved that the characters we met in Midnight Ink were around throughout the story and that we saw how much of a family they really were….
Looking forward to the Montgomery Ink series from Carrie Ann and finding out more about Austin!!!
INK INSPIRED:
I’m a big fan of Carrie Ann and I’ve been looking forward to this prequel to her Montgomery Ink series and it was worth the wait!!!
In this story we meet Ice Princess Shea & hot, sexy Shep Montgomery – he’s out to melt the walls she’s built around herself and in the process they set the place alight!!!
Another great read from Carrie Ann and I can’t wait to read more about the Montgomery’s

COVER REVEAL ~ The Good Girl by Dawn Robertson & Lily White
Synopsis:
School from nine to four.
Bartending from nine to two.
Wake up and do it all over again.
All while depending on no one but myself…
because everyone in my life has repeatedly let me down.
I cling to the one thing that will always remain a constant in my life: Art.
Body art, photography, painting… you name it and my interest is peaked.
Almost as strong as his interest in me.
I wanted nothing to do with him
But he was the type who took what he wanted.
His hate became his obsession
And his obsession became so much more.
I am his good girl
And I wonder if he’ll ever let me go.
About Dawn Robertson:
Dawn Robertson is a twenty-something indie erotic romance, and mother. She lives in sunny senior citizen packed Florida, where she wrangles her kids, and Pitbull puppy.
Dawn can normally be found swearing like a sailor, making late night drive-thru appearances, arguing with her kids (or being run over by their power wheels), reading a steamy romance while hiding in her bathroom, writing her little heart out on her laptop (or dragging her Macbook to the Genius bar praying they can save her latest work in progress), or sipping on a smoothie. She loves to hear from her fans, readers, and authors alike. Feel free to drop her a message.
Dawn rarely takes life seriously, so be sure to expect heavy sarcasm from her. She is also the life of the party, so be sure to meet up with her at one of the many author events she will be attending in the next couple months. Buy her a shot of whiskey, and she will love you for life.

Newly Released ~ Satyr’s Myst & Willa’s Wish by Marie Harte
Marie Harte has re-released the final 2 books in the Satyr’s Myst series
For a limited time both Satyr’s Myst & Willa’s Wish are available at a discounted price
BLURB:
Lilah Tanner thought she’d finagled time on a private island for her own purposes — to take a break from her dull, complacent life. She’s a hard worker, a physical therapist, with a successful career but an unhappy love life. Not sure if it’s due to her plain features or take-charge personality, she nevertheless wants more out of life than she has. So she does her cousin a favor and agrees to keep some rich playboy out of trouble on a tropical island. How hard can that be?
The danger around Rick Hastings is far more than she bargained for.
There’s a stalker her cousin failed to mention, the threat of real harm from a hidden, outside source. But more than that, Lilah’s bombarded with the reality of Rick Hastings and Trevor Reaper, two men too sexual for her own good. Because it isn’t long before Lilah is tempted, seduced, and in love. And it will take all her courage to face her own insecurities and help Trevor and Rick face theirs in order to keep the men who’ve won her heart.
WILLA’S WISH – Book #4
BLURB:
Thanks to Tyrone’s unasked for interference, his boss and friend, Rick Hastings, has finally found true love. With Rick stateside for the holidays, Ty is left to manage Satyr’s Myst, an exclusive pleasure resort where anything goes. He’s too busy to indulge in anything not business related, but Ty can’t get his mind off of Rick’s new hire, Willa Trainor.
Willa distracts him in way that makes him uneasy. More than her sinful body and alluring face, the beauty within the woman tempts him more than she should. She’s a stranger, for all that he wants her. And Ty’s been hurt before. But Willa isn’t who he thinks she is. She’s more than a sexy bombshell with a desire that matches his. She’s the woman whose childhood crush blossomed into soul deep love.
Despite Ty’s desire to leave the past in its place, Willa’s not willing to be ignored. Because when the truth comes out, Willa’s not taking no for an answer, not when she’s finally come to claim her man.

Kit Rocha returns to Sector Four in BEYOND TEMPTATION. A promise to a dying friend backfires when Noah Lennox finds that the girl he was supposed to rescue is all grown up–and wearing O’Kane ink. He wants to protect her from the secrets of their past, but she wants him. And an O’Kane woman always gets what she wants.
MY REVIEW
I’ve been looking forward to the ‘MARKED’ anthology since it was announced that it was coming out!
The main draw in the beginning for me was Kit Rocha’s ‘Beyond Temptation‘ – I totally adore the ‘BEYOND‘ books & the world/sectors that the Kit Rocha girls have given us so, as you’d expect, I was beyond excited to read the new novella in the series (which is one of my Top 5 series EVER)!! – but as I read through the book I realised that I’d found another author who’s books I’m just gonna love!!!
Beyond Temptation (Beyond series #3.5): Kit Rocha
LOVED, LOVED, LOVED IT!! Gods, Emma & Noah’s story was way hotter than I expected it to be and added a great plot arc to the whole series… Looking forward to watching this play out!
Have to say that I’ve got a little thing going for the ‘new boy’ in Sector 4! 😉
Noah Emma
‘Beyond Temptation‘ has loads of action and a few twists that keep you gripped and the sex, as always, just about causes spontaneous combustion!!!
Noah and his secrets about events in both their pasts & Emma’s reaction to revelations made had me wanting to shake both of them at times….
The attraction and heat between N & E was intense – exactly what we’ve come to expect from the KR girls and this series!!! Can’t wait for Beyond Jealousy – just know Ace, Rach & Cruz‘s story is gonna blow our minds!!!
********************************************
Rocky Ride (Thompson & Sons series #1): Vivian Arend
I have to be honest and say that while I’ve had a couple of Viv’s books on my kindle for some time now I’ve never got round to reading them…. that will be resolved VERY soon!!!
‘Rocky Road‘ was a fantastic read and a fab start to the new ‘Thompson & Sons’ series. With characters from Vivian’s ‘Six Pack Ranch‘ series, this book was full of heat, passion and sexy scenes!!
Great, likeable characters. The relationship that was growing between Anna & Mitch was scorching and my heart was aching reading about how much they are prepared to put on the line to be together…..
Itching to read ‘Baby, Be Mine’ book #2 in the series!!
********************************************
All That Remains: Lauren Dane
I’ve read a couple of Lauren‘s ‘Visits to Petal‘ books and thoroughly enjoyed them!!
‘All That Remains‘ was an incredibly hot, erotic & sexy read but it also had a very sweet feel to it. I loved Charlie, he was my fave character of the triad. I totally understood Summers uncertainty and why she held back from Hatch after their past history.. Hatch, even when being a complete idiot is still irresistible!!
I really loved the whole dystopian style world that this story suggested. Being back to basics and living a simple life gave focus to what was really important between the 3 characters.
I’ll definitely be 1-clicking more of Lauren’s books.
The anthology was a 5* read for me.. and a definite must have if you are a fan of a great hot story!!!
**I received an ARC from one of the authors in exchange for an honest review**
