Releasing July 8, 2014

Tracy’s Review:
I’ve been patiently waiting for TAKE since I finished TRY but let me tell you, it was SO worth the wait. Ella Frank did it again when it comes to this smokin’ hot couple and gave us a fantastic continuation of Logan & Tate’s story!!!
Starting right where book 1 left off, TAKE focused on the boys and their developing feeling & attraction but where TRY gave us a lot about the thrill and excitement of a new, hot and passionate affair, TAKE took us to another level where it was less about the chase and more about the guys emotional growth and deepening desires and how they deal with their burgeoning ‘relationship’.
TAKE shows us a different side to both Tate and Logan and we follow them as they try to work out just what’s going on between them…..
Tate had some tough family issues to deal with at the end of TRY and we see how he faces these, how they affect him ~ and ultimately them both ~ in the 2nd book. Logan has commitment issues, can he get his head round these, go the course and stay with Tate & will we find out where his fear of falling really comes from??
Ella has such a fantastic style of writing. She catches & snares you in and from then on out you are hooked – even when it seems likes she is squeezing your heart to the point where you feel you can’t take any more you still don’t want the book to end!!!
I got so emotionally invested in the story and characters, that even though I wasn’t sure how things were gonna go (and at points I felt like my heart was gonna explode) I couldn’t put the book down..
TAKE is a definite 5 star read for me and I can’t wait to find out what happens with our gorgeous boys in the next installment of the Temptation series ~ I just cannot get enough of Logan and Tate!!!

Needing nothing less than a miracle to save her, Kara gets rescue from an unknown, unlikely and overwhelming source. Billionaire Simon Hudson makes her an offer that is impossible to refuse, but terrifying to accept from a man that she’s never met. Will the handsome, alpha billionaire really be a solution to her problems, or will he end up being a major complication and a danger to her emotional sanity?
Reclusive billionaire Simon Hudson would rather be behind a computer creating computer games than rubbing elbows with the elite and he knows exactly what he wants…until he meets Kara Foster. Something about Kara touches Simon in ways he’s never experienced and definitely doesn’t like. For over a year, Simon watches over Kara, but stubbornly refuses to admit his desire to possess her, not even to himself. But when she ends up in a situation that could very well be her destruction, Simon steps up to help her, not realizing that in saving Kara, he might very well be salvaging his own soul.

DIAMOND DUST
She can’t shift, but she can shake their world.
Caroline Bradley is having one hell of a week. Her wolf lover has sniffed out his mate, making her an instant free agent. Not only that, Takhini territory has been overrun with aggressive bear-shifters electing a clan leader, and the wolf pack is feeling the effects—pushing her diplomatic skills to the limit.
Tyler Harrison is a grizzly on a mission. If he’s going to win the majority of the bears’ votes, he needs one final thing: a female companion. The only woman in town with influence over wolves, humans, and more bears than he’d like to admit, is Caroline.
Despite the sexual pull between them, though, Tyler’s not seeking a permanent relationship. And Caroline isn’t looking to be anyone else’s political pawn. But she should have remembered that when shifters are involved, changes happen in the blink of an eye.
Warning: Billionaire bear hero plus kick-ass human heroine equals a sexually volatile power struggle. Get ready for what might be the naughtiest game of tag that’s ever been played in the great outdoors.

COVER REVEAL ~ US by EMILY ECK
Synopsis
Told from dual points of view, Elle and J must figure out how to bring down an MC, steer clear of flying bullets in Missouri and south of the border, all the while making sure Fernie is out of the line of fire. Elle’s love for J is tested, as is her belief that she will ever find “normal” with the man she loves.
J is determined to make things right so he can give Elle the “normal” life she deserves. He just has to stay alive to make it happen. With his own personal sun by his side, he knows nothing is impossible. That is, until the bullets are redirected from his head to Elle’s.
Elle: I held my hand up, showing him the ring he’d put on me. “This is us,” I told him. It was more than a ring. Well, to me it was more. “I promise to love you ‘til the day I die.”
J:”Us, baby. This is us. I’ll love you ’til the sun ceases to shine.”
Excerpt
I watched her put the Kindle down just as I grabbed her to me and buried my face in her hair.
“Fuck, baby. You can’t do that to me. Someone was about to die.” I inhaled, taking her unique flowery smell into my lungs. I’d never get enough of her scent. Like her pussy, it was my drug, and I’d happily stay addicted.
“Can I grab a shower while you find me some clothes? Then we eat. I don’t know about you, but I’m beat. Maybe we can talk tonight when we’re alone, after dinner? Wait a minute. Are we eating with all your club brothers? I don’t know if I’m up for grand introductions tonight.”I planted one last kiss on her and pulled away before it could go too far.

BLOG TOUR ~ ADDICTIVE LUNACY by N. ISABELLE BLANCO
Event Organized by
❤MaE Book Tours & Promo Stars Services❤
Only $0.99!
Synopsis
Calum Alexander lived his life one way. With purpose and moderation. Everything was set in place and everything happened according to a plan. That is, until his picture perfect engagement falls apart and his crazy brother Lucas gets him to agree to a night out. Calum is left to fend for himself when Lucas decides to bail and ‘fend for himself’ he will need to. A vivacious and obviously young Livana Payne catches his attention and before he knows what’s going on, they end up talking. By the end of the night, Calum is on fire for the impish girl who’s managed to ignite an inferno within him.
Yes, she’s twelve years younger and the complete opposite of what he’d imagined in his life, but he hungers for her in a way that’s frightening. Drunk and surprisingly out of control, he’s dead set on his need to have her. But the moment he accidentally lets it be known that he’s recently single, Livana is having none of it. There is no way she’s getting involved with a man who just broke up with his fiance. No, they were going to have to wait. Calum’s need for her somehow kept growing. As the days went by and he got to know her more, Livana seemed to be stealing all of his sanity. As much as she wants to wait it quickly becomes obvious to Calum that he’s losing his grip to the monster she’d awakened within him. He’s about to lose control and when he does, he knows there’s going to be nothing gentle about what he’ll end up doing to her.
Genre Erotica/ Contemporary Romance
Publication Date September 16 2012
Compulsive Fascinations (Compulsions Book #2) Coming Soon!
Synopsis
You get hurt once; you assume that’s the norm. You see others suffer; you assume that’s the norm, too. At least, that’s what Livana once did. One rough go-around was enough for her. After that, she kept it simple, no strings attached. It was just easier, even necessary. Until she went out one night and met Calum Alexander, a man whose intensity broke through each of her defenses, leaving her vulnerable. Afraid to fall in love, she tries to keep some of her walls up around herself, even as Calum seems determined not to let her. Faced with a man that seems intent on possessing her, Liv knows it’s a mere matter of time before she no longer has a choice.
Genre Erotica/ Contemporary Romance

About the Author
N. Isabelle Blanco was born in Queens, NY (USA). At the age of three, due to an odd fascination with studying her mother’s handwriting, she began to read and write. By the time she’d reached kindergarten, she had an extensive vocabulary and her obsession with words began to bleed into every aspect of her life.
An avid reader in her teens, her fascination with Japanese anime eventually led her to the universe of fan fiction, which became her on-again, off-again hobby for the next ten years. During that time she amassed a following of fans that, by her own admission, she would never be able to live without. It was those fans who encouraged her to step beyond the fan fiction realm and try her talent in the publishing world.
N. Isabelle Blanco spends her days working as an author, web programmer, marketer, and graphic designer. That is when she isn’t handling her “spawn”, as she calls her son, and brainstorming with him about his future career as a comic book illustrator.

Blog Tour ~ LACEY’S GAME by SHILOH WALKER
Lacey’s Game
A novella (about 77 pages)
Amazon | B&N | Kobo | Ellora’s Cave
Lacey Morgan is fed up and heartbroken. Her boyfriend Brogan is all about control and she’s all about breaking through his barriers. Except she can’t seem to do it. Unwilling to settle for only part of him, she takes off, figuring it’s better that way. After all, half of a relationship is worse than none. She settles in with her best friend, hot and sexy photographer Lou, figuring she’ll lick her wounds and give her heart time to heal.
Finding Lacey gone is a punch to the gut. Finding her with another guy is even worse. She isn’t interested in listening to what he has to say, though. Not unless he’s willing to strip himself bare and give up pieces of himself that died long ago.
Brogan can’t do that. Or so he thinks. Lacey and Lou have other plans, a hot, torrid night, some hot, sexy pictures… Lacey is determined to show Brogan a new way of seeing things.

Manday Hotties – Men in Kilts!!!!
So, this weekend, Rebecca & I went to #RARE14 in Edinburgh.
We had a fab time meeting the authors and it was great to see so many of the girls in the one place!!
One of our friends in Aus messaged us to say there was a hottie in a kilt at the event… Until that point we had only seen the piper and believe me, he wasn’t hot… well, maybe literally ‘cos the sun was shining and he was wearing a bearskin hat but,
in the heavenly sense, he was more grandad material that hottie!!!! 😕
Anyhoo, once we got into the hall and we’re making our way round, we realized who Simone had been talking about – Stuart Reardon was at the event dressed only in a kilt and a pair of white Chucks!! Now, in that S was right, the guy was hot!!!
Long story short, following RARE, we decided for this weeks Hotties post to go with Men in Kilts………
Hope you like our choices!!!! 😉
I’m having a hard time choosing, they’re all fab…. Rebecca is plumping for #3 (hmm, wonder why?! 😉) and Jason Mamao is there, well, just because!!!!
