Blog Tour ~ Life Next Door by J.D. Hollyfield
SYNOPSIS
There is only one thing in life that professional pastry Chef Priscilla Westcott values more than baking and wine, and that’s honesty. A quality she soon learns that her marriage lacks when her husband runs off with their next door neighbor.
Divorced and alone, Priscilla is determined to make changes in her life. She decides to approach her new goals like one of her beloved recipes. Surely with a little time, a dash of patience, and measured planning she can whip herself—and her life—back into shape.
However, when a new—and utterly delicious—neighbor takes up residence in the house that ruined her marriage, Pricilla fears that her careful world will fold faster than a deflated soufflé.
Trent Walker knows what he wants and his sweet, sassy neighbor is at the top of the list. He’s certain that the chemistry between them would be explosive, but Priscilla fears that an affair with him, however hot, could be a recipe for disaster.

EXCERPT

“Holy shit.” I let spill out of my mouth. Pretty much around the same time he jumps back and spits out, “Holy Jesus.”ABOUT THE AUTHOR

His secrets will destroy her.
Taken.
Humiliated.
Used.
With his smart mouth, dirty talking and possessive behavior, Sebastian Brand has me hooked in the most shameless way. I’m obsessed with him. However, now that I’ve escaped the mental hospital, he seeks to control my every move.
The overwhelming aloofness in his attitude and darkness in his mind tells me there is more to this man than sheer dominance. Depravity is his playground and pain is a necessary evil.
Keeping me away was his first instinct.
Capturing me was his second.
Claimed by a man with the exterior of an angel and the mind of a brute, I will do anything to unveil his secrets and face my own demons.
A body in exchange for freedom. A heart in exchange for truth.
Life is never a given. Only a certain death.
This is Volume 1 in the Delirious Series, which contains 3 volumes and a prequel. These books should be read in order.
WARNING: This book contains very disturbing situations, strong language, drugs and alcohol, dubious consent, and graphic violence. Contains a cliffhanger that will make your eyes pop.

REVIEW ~ RIDING STEELE by Opal Carew
RIDING STEELE BY OPAL CAREW
BLP REVIEW by REBECCA
6 INSTALMENTS OR 1 BOOK?
HOW CAN PUBLISHERS CHARGE $1.99 FOR 30 PAGES?
HOW CAN THOSE 6 INSTALMENTS, IF PURCHASED SEPARATELY, BE $12 YET IF YOU PURCHASE THE BOOK IN ITS ENTIRETY, THE PRICE IS LESS THAN $9?
I HAVE NO PROBLEM PAYING A HIGHER PRICE FOR A QUALITY BOOK, J R WARD AND SHELLY LAURENSTON FOR EXAMPLE ARE AUTOMATIC ONE CLICKS FOR ME BUT THE LENGTH AND QUALITY I WILL BE GETTING FOR MY DOLLARS MEANS I AM HAPPY TO DO SO. I’VE SAID BEFORE THAT I DISLIKE THIS GROWING TREND FOR SPLITTING BOOKS INTO INSTALMENTS, PERSONALLY I FEEL IT’S JUST A CON TO GET READERS TO PAY EXTRA TO GET THE BOOK EARLIER RATHER THAN WAIT FOR THE PRODUCT IN FULL, CHEAPER BUT LATER AND 30 PAGES IS, IN MY OPINION, NEITHER HERE NOR THERE – A SLIGHT TASTE BUT NOT ENOUGH TO BECOME INVESTED IN THE STORY OR THE CHARACTERS.
AT THE END OF THE FIRST INSTALMENT I WAS JUST FRUSTRATED AS IT FELT LIKE A COUPLE OF CHAPTERS ONLY AND THEN BOOM, THE END. I NEVER PURCHASE BOOKS SOLD LIKE THIS AND HAD THESE NOT BEEN ARCS I WOULD NOT HAVE READ, AS A FULL EBOOK $9 FOR UNDER 200 PAGES IS RIDICULOUS BUT THAT’S JUST ME……
THE REASON I CHOSE TO REVIEW THE ARCS WAS BECAUSE I HAVE READ OPAL CAREW BEFORE AND ENJOYED HER BOOKS, SWING IS AN OLD FAVOURITE. AS A REVIEW IT’S DIFFICULT BECAUSE OF THE SIZE OF THE INSTALMENTS – AS AN OPAL CAREW IT’S NOT A BAD ONE, AS AN MC BOOK IT’S NOT A BAD ONE, AS AN EROTICA IT’S NOT A BAD ONE, BUT IT LACKS THAT SPECIAL SOMETHING, THE X-FACTOR IF YOU LIKE, THAT WOULD MAKE IT A FAVOURITE OR A REREAD.
RIDING STEELE:
In the arms of an outlaw, she found the freedom to live out her wildest fantasies. Don’t miss this scorching new six-part mini-series from New York Times bestselling author Opal Carew!
When Laurie is kidnapped by bikers, she has no idea her life is about to change forever. From the moment she meets Steele—their sinfully sexy leader—she can’t deny their fierce attraction. Even though she’s completely at his mercy, his eyes soften when he looks at her, and the others in his gang know she’s strictly hands off. But the more time she spends with Steele, the more her body insists she wants his powerful hands all over her.
Now she’s about to discover a new life on the open road…and what it means to be part of a gang that shares everything. At first their wonton lifestyle shocks her senses—but once she’s had a taste of life on the edge, will she ever want to leave?
Riding Steele #1: Kidnapped
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.
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…
IN THIS FIRST INSTALMENT WE MEET STEELE AND THE REST OF HIS CREW HAVING DRINKS AT A BAR ON HIS BIRTHDAY WHILE KEEPING AN EYE ON LAURIE AS A FAVOUR FOR AN OLD FRIEND. LAURIE IS OUT WITH HER BOYFRIEND DONOVAN WHO SHE IS INTENDING TO BREAK UP WITH. HIS DOMINEERING, CONTROLLING WAYS AREN’T SITTING WELL WITH HER AND THE RECENT ESCALATION IN ROUGH PLAY MEANS ENOUGH IS ENOUGH.
STEELE VETOES KIDNAPPING HER TO KEEP HER SAFE AND LEAVES THE BAR WITH JUST ONE MEMBER LEFT BEHIND TO WATCH HER. UNFORTUNATELY CIRCUMSTANCES DICTATE THAT LAURIE DOES IN FACT END UP KIDNAPPED AND IN A HOUSE FULL OF BIKERS.
AS A START THIS IS REALLY JUST A SETTING THE SCENE. WE SEE INTERACTION BETWEEN STEELE AND THE MEMBERS, LAURIE COMES ACROSS AS QUITE WEAK IN THIS ONE AND LITTLE TO NO SEXUAL CONTENT.
Riding Steele #2: Untamed
THE STORY CONTINUES WITH LAURIE ATTEMPTING AN ESCAPE THAT RESULTS IN A NICE LITTLE VOYEURISM SCENE AS WELL AS A THREESOME. OPAL CAREW DOES GOOD SEX! A MISTAKEN IDENTITY ISSUE RAMPS UP THE TENSION BETWEEN STEELE AND LAURIE AND SO ANOTHER ATTEMPT TO ESCAPE FOLLOWS.
Riding Steele #3: Collide
THIS WAS A DISAPPOINTING ONE. STEELE AND LAURIE FINALLY GET IT TOGETHER BUT I WAS SO ANNOYED BY HER WEAK AND INCONSISTANT BEHAVIOUR THAT I JUST DIDN’T CARE BY THAT POINT. LAURIE FINALLY DID ESCAPE ONLY FOR A TWIST TO END UP WITH HER BEING RETURNED TO STEELE. LOTS OF BACKGROUND INFO AND SETTING THE SCENE AGAIN BUT THAT JUST MEANT IT FELT LIKE NOTHING OF INTEREST HAPPENED.
Riding Steele #4: Wanted
THIS IS THE OPAL CAREW I EXPECTED FROM THE EROTICA ASPECT, MUTIPLE PARTNERS, MUTIPLE ORGASMS AND EVERYONE WATCHING EVERYBODY ELSE! HOWEVER, ONCE AGAIN THE CHARACTER INCONSISTENCIES SPOILT IT. LAURIE IS A WEAK WOMAN WHO RUNS AWAY, AFRAID FOR HER SAFETY, BUT THEN DROPS HER KNICKERS FOR STEELE….. OH, AND THEN THE REST OF THE BOYS ALL TOGETHER, WITH RAVEN WATCHING AS WELL??
TOO FAST A TIMELINE WITH TOO LITTLE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT TO BE BELIEVABLE – WHILE I ACCEPT THIS IS FICTION IT STILL HAS TO BE WITHIN THE REALMS OF BEHAVIOUR YOU WOULD ACCEPT AS POSSIBLE. I FOUND THE END DEVELOPMENTS TO BE ANNOYING AND STEELE’S ACTIONS CHILDISH.
Riding Steele #5: Crossroads
THIS INSTALMENT IS A TAD PREDICTABLE, THE STORYLINE IS NOT GRAPHIC ENOUGH TO SHOCK OR SURPRISE AND WITHOUT ANY SEXUAL CONTENT TO REDEEM IT AS AN EROTICA IT ALMOST STRUGGLES TO HAVE A COHESIVE DIRECTION THAT MAKES SENSE.
Riding Steele #6: Aftershock
THIS IS THE FINAL PART OF THIS STORY BUT ENDED AGAIN WITH TOO MANY INCONSISTENCIES FOR ME TO CARE OR BE EXCITED. THE TYING UP OF THE LOOSE ENDS FROM PREVIOUS EVENTS FELT RUSHED AND LUKEWARM. LAURIE, HAVING SPENT HER ENTIRE LIFE DESIRING STABILITY AND FINANCIAL SOLVENCEY, THROWS IT ALL IN THE WIND TO RUN OFF TO BE WITH STEELE WHO HAS NO EMOTIONAL STABILITY UP TO THIS POINT, THROWS CHILDISH STROPS AND IS HAPPY FOR ANY AND ALL OF HIS MEN TO FUCK LAURIE BUT HEAVEN FORBID YOU CUDDLE OR CONSOLE HER. I FEEL HE’S TARZAN LIKE – BEATING HIS CHEST, ALL ‘MY WOMAN’, BUT HAS NO MATURITY TO HAVE AN ACTUAL RELATIONSHIP.
A DISAPPOINTING OFFERING IN MY OPINION THAT DOESN’T QUITE DELIVER ON ANY LEVEL.
A 3 STAR MAYBE BUT, IN VIEW OF THE PRICING, A 2.5 STAR AT BEST.
About the Author
Hi. I’m Opal Carew, a New York Times and USA Today bestselling author. I write erotic romance for St. Martin’s Press and Samhain Publishing, and I self-publish stories. I also write romance as Amber Carew.
So why do I like writing erotic romance? I like being able to push beyond traditional boundaries. I like dealing with a female character who is growing and evolving – questioning her sexual boundaries and pushing past them. My stories usually include menage a trois. It is great fun to write a heroine choosing between two equally appealing heroes… or more.
These aren’t women who just jump into bed with anyone. They find themselves in an unusual situation – something exciting and erotic – but a situation where they have to push themselves beyond their comfort level. As a result, they grow as a person. So often fear holds us back – of what others will think of us, of what we will think about ourselves – and we don’t follow our hearts. These women push past that fear.

COVER REVEAL ~ COMPANY OF LIES by Lisa Olsen
Book 3 in The Company Series
Cady and Ethan are on the run from the Company, but there’s no escaping the trouble they brought with them. The demon Cady was bound with isn’t as dormant as they first thought, and it’s desperate to be free. How many times will Cady have to wake up in strange circumstances before she realizes her life isn’t her own? Crippled without his usual contacts, Ethan is desperate to hold onto Cady and find the help she needs – but is it enough? Is Rikard the one who can keep Cady safe and satisfy the demon inside her? Layer upon layer of deceit muddy the waters until it’s impossible to find the right path. In the end, Cady is left with a terrible choice – submit to the Company or the demon who’s taken over her life.
I am a writer, wife and mother of two currently living in the Pacific Northwest. I am a complete TV addict (have to have it on at all times, even when I’m writing). I also enjoy online RPG’s, singing, reading, cooking… lots more I can’t think of at the moment.The supernatural has long been my favorite to write and read. Werewolves, vampires, witchcraft, ghosts, things that go bump in the night; these are a few of my favorite things to write about. Not sparkly beings with phenomenal cosmic power that are always the smartest, bravest, prettiest Mary Sue to walk the planet, but real people who just happen to have this little quirk…

Jani Kay – DEBONAIR
deb•o•nair
adjective \ˌde-bə-ˈner\
of a man : dressing and acting in a stylish and sophisticated way : urbane, attractive, charming and confident
Debonair and sexy-as-sin Tyler Sinclair has fought his way from poverty to the top as a Wall Street stockbroker. Hungry for success, ambitious for power and glory, he doesn’t have time for messy emotions like love. When his colleague is called away on business, Tyler is stuck with an intern he never wanted and doesn’t have time for. Three weeks of torture await him.
Raised by a single mother, Brooklyn Bennett is an Australian girl who works and studies hard to achieve her dreams. She scores an internship with a prestigious firm in New York for six months. Focused on her career, she can’t afford to lose sight of her goals. Love is not on her agenda.
From the moment Tyler lays eyes on the girl with the golden hair, strange accent and sassy attitude, something about her intrigues him. Can he teach her all she needs to learn without losing his heart? Can he make her yield to him not only in the boardroom but also in the bedroom? Will a few nights of passion change the way they both feel about love . . . or is it just about sex, money and desire?
Callie Hart – REBEL
Alexis Romera isn’t ready to die.
Thing is…
She may not have a choice.
***
The president of the Widow Makers MC is determined.
The Los Oscuros cartel is going down.
The one thing Rebel must do to make that happen?
Keep the girl alive.
Pepper Winters – FORBIDDEN FLAWS
She’s forbidden.
Saffron Carlton is the darling of the big screen, starlet on the red carpet, and wife of mega producer Felix Carlton. Her life seems perfect with her overflowing bank balance, adoring fans, and luxury homes around the world. Everyone thinks they know her. But no one truly does.
The silver limelight is tainted the day the couple announce their divorce.
He’s flawed.
Raised in squalor, fed on violence and poverty, Cas Smith knows the underbelly of the world. He’s not looking for fame or fortune. He’s looking for a job to get him the hell away from the danger of illegal fighting, and comes face to face with the woman who ran all those years ago.
Unable to turn down her job offer, he agrees to be her bodyguard and personal trainer, all while she hides her secrets.
He had no intention of letting her back into his heart.
But neither of them were prepared for what happens when forbidden and flawed collide —fracturing the world they know, changing the rules forever.
Lilliana Anderson – DEEP COVER
Some things won’t stay buried…
Drake Jefferson has been missing for years.
Wanted by the very people who hired him, he left behind his job, his life, and his love to pursue a career of the criminal variety
Caitlin Saunders, Drake’s ex-wife and one of the AFP’s best analysts, is doing her best to move on after losing the love of her life. Originally a part of the team that managed Drake’s operation, she gave up her field role the day she realized he’d turned. And she hasn’t trusted a soul since.
One phone call in the middle of the night will force her back to active duty – a suspect in an ongoing case has been captured and they insist they have information on Drake – they just aren’t willing to talk to anyone but her.
That information will change everything she believed to be true and send her down a path that could land her in the exact position Drake ended up in.
It will take every skill set she has, just to keep her head above water as she learns that right and wrong don’t always follow the rules, and that when you’re fighting for love – there are no rules.
Chelle Bliss – RESISTING
I belong to no one.
It’s the way I’ve chosen to live. Master of my own destiny, finding my way through this bullshit thing called life.
I learned from a young age how to get my way. Being a woman isn’t a weakness. It’s the opposite. I’ve spent my life being surrounded by four overbearing brothers, but I’ve never been a wallflower. Independent and unwilling to be tied down, I grabbed life by the balls and lived it to the fullest.
I was enjoying myself, minding my own business at my brothers wedding. Then WHAM.
Ever have a man walk into your life and alter your entire universe? My answer would’ve been no before he tempted me into his bed.
I’m talking about the big damn bang.
Everything that I thought was right, suddenly spins on its axis and bitch slaps me in the face.
Lila Rose – FINDING OUT
In a moment of weakness, Ivy Morrison tells a lie, a lie which will leave her scrambling for a solution and quick. The perfect solution comes well-packaged in the form of broody and sinfully sexy Fox Kilpatrick, courtesy of Find Your Soul Ma…te online dating service. Desperate times is most definitely a call for desperate measures. With no other choice, Ivy convinces passionate yet possessive Fox to help her in her time of need.
Fox ‘Killer’ Kilpatrick is still caught up in his past, a past of anger and death, which his biker brothers desperately want him to recover from. Losing a bet, Killer finds himself on a blind date with Ivy, the woman who is set to turn his world upside down.
Following your heart is never easy, neither is following an unknown path, but finding out may just be worth the journey to possibility. Only together, will Ivy and Killer discover if it was worth the risk after all.
Lyra Parish – SINGLE VOLUME ONE
After failing miserably at love, Roxane VanBuren swears off men but not before her determined best friend shows her all the advantages of being single. After a wild weekend full of sex, old-flames, and secrets, Roxane is desperate to forget it ever happened.
But she learns it isn’t that easy.
Since becoming the President of VanBuren Investments, she knows how important it is for her professional and personal life to remain separate from one another. If the two were to mix, the rumors could possibly ruin her reputation, which is bad for her and bad for business. To avoid that, Roxane allows rules to define and guide her every move. Unfortunately for her, Parker Williams is determined to break them all, one at a time.
Lesley Jones – REED
She was mine.
Our love, unquestioned.
Our futures planned.
But she didn’t show.
All that we had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn’t show.
That one act from her, changed everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back.
No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a piece of Reed but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their own rules and the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever… Along with the other four people in my bed.
Nina Levine – ALL YOUR REASONS
When heartbreaker meets ball breaker, sparks will fly.
Rockstar, Jett Vaughn, isn’t against settling down, but no woman has ever held his attention long enough for a relationship to develop. That is until he meets Presley Hart. She’s confident, opinionated and headstrong. She drives him to the edge of crazy, but he can’t deny how she makes him feel.
He wants her heart, but she only wants his body.
Presley’s not against giving her heart to a man, but she has too many reasons why he’s not the one to give it to. Jett isn’t a man who will take no for an answer though. He’s about to declare war on her reasons and take what he wants.

I ACTUALLY WANTED TO SHOUT AT CAITLIN AND TELL HER TO DUMP THE PAIR OF THEM! AND I CAN’T SAY MUCH WITHOUT GIVING AWAY SPOILERS SO YOU’LL NEED TO READ FOR YOURSELVES!
LESLEY JONES – REED
She was mine.
Our love, unquestioned.
Our futures planned.
But she didn’t show.
All that we had, all that we meant, and after all that was said, she just didn’t show.
That one act from her, changed everything, but it especially changed me and from that moment on, there was no going back.
No words of love, no whispered promises, just sex and drugs and rock and roll. No one gets a piece of Reed but what they will get is the night of their life, the chance to let go, break their own rules and the best, the dirtiest, filthiest sex ever… Along with the other four people in my bed.
OH MY LORDY! I KEEP SAYING IT BUT IT’S WORTH REPEATING, LESLEY JONES I LOVE THE FUCK OUT OF YOU! I DO LOVE A TORTURED BAD BOY AND WHEN IT’S MRS JONES DOING THE WRITING THEN I KNOW I’LL LIKE IT – WHAT I DIDN`T EXPECT WAS JUST HOW MUCH BETTER SHE GETS WITH EVERY BOOK SHE WRITES. I’VE HAD MY HEART TORN OUT AND SHREDDED THIS YEAR WITH CARNAGE AND I KNOW FEBRUARY 2015 REED AND AMOEBA IN CONVICTION ARE GOING TO SHRED ME AGAIN, IN THE VERY BEST WAY. FOR ME LESLEY JONES IS MY MOST FANTABULOUS DISCOVERY THIS YEAR.

When I was ten, my father indoctrinated me into the family.
A brotherhood who would fight, protect, and give their lives for one another. A club whose ties ran thicker than blood, murkier than the dirt and grime that tainted my soul. Stronger than the bonds that connected me to my own family.
A band of brothers where loyalty was kept and paid in a currency of blood.
When I was twenty-seven, I betrayed that brotherhood.
I’ve spent every day since running, avoiding paying back that debt.
My name is Daniel Johnson, and I have betrayed everyone I ever loved.
This is my story—if you’re screwed up enough to want to read it.
Warning: KICK contains graphic violence, profanity, drug use, and explicit sexual situations of a taboo nature. Intended for an 18+ audience only. Not intended for pussies.

COVER REVEAL ~ RUN TO YOU by Kandice Michelle Young
did not move here to fall for a man like Sebastian.
all-consuming, and guaranteed to leave destruction in his wake. From the moment
our eyes met, he had a hold on me. I wanted, craved, and needed him like
nothing I had ever desired before.
contract, I knew what he was proposing would destroy me. What I had not planned
was his ability to make me crave destruction. I would lose myself in him.
Sebastian knew how to take me over the edge, and before I even knew it, I
wanted to go freefalling.
calculated was the power of his to do the same. My dark, brooding, impeccably
sexual, alpha-male had his own crosses to bear. I was not sure I was strong
enough to handle them, or the woman who helped chain him there.
“You were special ordered by Black
himself.” He takes my elbow and guides me into the room.My heart is racing with anticipation.
This is it, my moment of truth. I walk on shaky legs as I try to keep up with
his pace. In just minutes, I will be face-to-face with Sebastian for the first
time since our short-lived intimate encounter a week ago. A crowd by the bar
lets out a loud cheer and I glance over to see the bartender balancing a shaker
on his head and juggling three more around him, catching liquids from each one,
and mixing them into the contents of the other.We walk up a flight of metal stairs
and he knocks on the door, which is camouflaged into the black wall surrounding
it. It opens and Robin greets us. She smiles at me. “It’s nice to see you
again, Dani, Mr. Black is expecting you. Mr. Princeton if you could please come
with me. We need to speak with the press.”“Of course,” Paul replies. He turns
to me with a focused brow. “You’ll be ok here?”“Yep, I’ve got it covered.” I wink.I watch as Robin and Paul exit the
room chatting animatedly as they go. My stomach does a flip-flop, and I focus
on my surroundings to regain my composure. The room isn’t much different from
the lobby where my desk sits at PES, dark wood and leather furniture. Two
couches face each other with a mahogany coffee table between them. Unlike the
apartment he took me to the last time, I see him in this room. It’s decorated
with urban art, dark, and mysterious.I feel a charge of electricity cut
through the air, and turn to see Sebastian standing in the doorframe. He’s
wearing an expensive tailor-made suit like he was the day we met. This one is
also black. His tie, however, is gray just like those smoldering eyes. I meet
his gaze and my mouth opens instinctively to allow me to intake more breath. He
leans on the doorframe, holding my gaze, and I feel a heaviness building in the
pit of my stomach. We stand there for what seems like an eternity taking each
other in.“Well,” he says. His voice is calm,
collected, and poised, but I can see the storm brewing in his eyes. “Step into
my office. As I understand it we still have much to discuss.”I try to steady my shaking limbs as I
place my hand in his. He smells delicious. It’s not cologne or body wash, it’s
him. Rugged, manly, and sensual. He leads me to a soft leather chair that sits
opposite his and makes his way around the wide mahogany desk that separates us.From the moment his touch leaves my
skin, I’m thirsty for it, needing it like lungs need oxygen. He sits in his
executive chair, looking much like a mid-15th-century king on his
throne. He looks expectantly at me and I shift in my seat, trying desperately
not to meet his gaze.“Would you care for a drink, Miss
Stevens?” He offers.“No, Mr. Black, I would not. I need
to keep a level head in order to proceed with our business negotiations.”A smirk threatens his lips as he
takes a sip of what I can only presume to be scotch based on the amber
coloring. “Very well, let’s get to the business shall we.”I timidly raise my eyes to meet his.
“I think the event is going well, don’t you?”He sets his drink down on a marble
coaster without taking his eyes off me. “Quite, but I never doubted your
capabilities, Miss Stevens.”“Everyone seems to be enjoying
themselves and there’s a crowd lining the street. We’ve had to turn
people away,” I inform him.“My accountant will be very happy to
hear that.”I smile and look down at my hands,
which I’ve been inadvertently twisting into knots in my lap. He follows my
gaze. “Are you nervous, Miss Stevens?”I inhale and fold my hands in between
my knees, crossing my legs. “Perhaps a little.”He picks up his crystal tumbler and
stands. My skin breaks out in goosebumps as he walks toward me and leans
against the desk. He removes his jacket and places it around my shoulders. As
he does so, he expertly removes the hair from my neck and gently caresses it at
the same time. The jacket is warm and smells of him, increasing the desire
growing in my belly.“There’s no need for you to be
nervous, Danielle, we are two consenting adults coming to an agreement. We are
doing nothing wrong.” He loosens his tie and I note his expensive looking jade
and platinum cufflinks.I clear my throat. “On second
thought, I think I will have that drink. Nothing heavy though, red wine if
you’ve got it.”He walks toward a cocktail cart on
the adjacent wall and I watch his sculpted ass, thinking of how it would feel
to dig my nails into it. He returns and hands me a glass of a delicious
smelling wine. I smile and take it from him, carefully sipping at it as he
leans back onto his desk.“So, have you given my proposition
any thought?”I lower the glass and stare into the
dark red liquid. “I have.”“And?”I shrug. “It’s interesting.”“Interesting as in you agree, or
interesting as in I should be locked up in a padded cell,” he prods.I consider his words carefully before
raising my eyes to meet his. His stare burns with anticipation, although the
rest of his face is stoic, his chiseled jaw set in a way that would break
Michelangelo’s Heart. I lightly caress my lips with my tongue struggling to
find my voice.“A little of both,” I say.His eyes stare into mine, burning a
hole straight to the center of my core. My knees weaken and my sex tingles with
delight as I imagine what comes next.“Does that mean you are saying yes,
Miss Stevens?”I smile sweetly at him and nod. “Yes,
Mr. Black, I agree to the renegotiated terms of your contract.”In one swift motion, he lunges at me
and wraps my mouth with his as he lifts me on top of his desk. His hands run
under the jacket and along my back, pushing it off me. I reciprocate by
wrapping my legs around his waist and placing my hands on his firm, strong back
kissing him back with fervor.

traced back to her fourth grade year, when a history lesson on Native Americans
became too unimaginative for her liking. She took it upon herself to
liven things up by creating a story that was based on half-truths about a
self-named Indian Princess. Kandice is in fact of Native American heritage (her
great-grandmother was a full-blooded Cherokee) and in her own mind a princess,
so you can see where her inspiration came from. Her story was a huge hit
with friends, and an author was born.

COVER REVEAL – RAZE BY TILLIE COLE
Who’s ready for Tillie Cole’s standalone dark contemporary romance?
*Raises hand* Meeeeee! But first…we need to see the cover…
Title: Raze
Author: Tillie Cole
Genre: Dark Contemporary Romance
Release Date: 30th December 2014
BLURB
To take back life, one must first face death…
One man stripped of his freedom, his morals… his life.
Conditioned in captivity to maim, to kill and to slaughter, prisoner 818 becomes an unremorseful, unrivaled and unstoppable fighter in the ring. Violence is all he knows. Death and brutality are the masters of his fate.
After years of incarceration in an underground hell, only one thought occupies his mind: revenge… bloody, slow and violent revenge.
Revenge on the man who lied.
Revenge on the man who wronged him.
Revenge on the man who condemned him and turned him into… this: a rage-fueled killing machine. A monster void of humanity; a monster filled with hate.
And no one will stand in the way of getting what he wants.
One woman stripped of her freedom, her morals… her life.
Kisa Volkova is the only daughter of Kirill ‘The Silencer’ Volkov, head of the infamous ‘Triad’ bosses of New York’s Russian Bratva. Her life is protected. In reality, it’s a virtual prison. Her father’s savage treatment of his rivals and his lucrative and coveted underground gambling ring—The Dungeon—ensures too many enemies lurk at their door.
She dreams to be set free.
Kisa has known only cruelty and loss in her short life. As manager of her father’s death match enterprise, only grief and pain fill her days. Her mafiya boss father, in her world, rules absolute. And her fiancé, Alik Durov, is no better: The Dungeon’s five-time champion, a stone-cold killer, the treasured son of her father’s best friend, and her very own—and much resented—personal guard. Unrivaled in both strength and social standing, Alik controls every facet of Kisa’s life, dominates her every move; keeps her subdued and dead inside… then one night changes everything.
While working for her church—the only reprieve in her constant surveillance—Kisa stumbles across a tattooed, scarred, but stunningly beautiful homeless man on the streets. Something about him stirs feelings deep within her; familiar yet impossibly forbidden desires. He doesn’t talk. Doesn’t communicate with anyone. He’s a man beyond saving, and a man she must quickly forget… for both their sakes.
But when weeks later, out of the blue and to her complete surprise, he’s announced as the replacement fighter in The Dungeon, Kisa knows she’s in a whole lot of trouble. He’s built, ripped and lethally unforgiving to his opponents, leaving fear in his wake and the look of death in his eyes.
Kisa becomes obsessed with him. Yearns for him. Craves his touch. Needs to possess this mysterious man…
… this man they call Raze.
*Dark Contemporary Romance.
Contains explicit sexual situations, excessive violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language and mature topics.
