Excerpt
‘This isn’t a fairytale,’ Dornan said wryly, as he watched her bring the soup-soaked bread to her mouth.
She paused with the bread in her hand, looking around the room in mock surprise. ‘You mean, we’re not Beauty and the fucking Beast?’
He laughed.
‘Well, you’re certainly beautiful,’ he said.
‘And you’re definitely a beast,’ she countered, pushing her empty bowl away and resting back on the bed.
‘But there’s no happy ever after for you,’ Dornan added, his eyes trailing over the chains to reach the cuffs that were now permanent bracelets on her wrists.
‘No,’ she said evenly, matching his intense gaze. ‘Not for any of us. Not in this world.’

Last Hit: Reloaded (Hitman Series) Book 2.5

Blurb
There was a time when Nick loved the fear he instilled in his enemies. His tattoos alone promised danger, but it was the look in his eyes that delivered on it. A contract killer since he was just a boy, Nick has now forged a new life and a new identity with the woman who followed him, captured him, and changed him.

He terrified Daisy. Once. But she couldn’t resist, and she ignored every warning. It paid off. Now she’s part of a new beginning, a fresh start in America helping him to leave behind a reckless and violent past as a professional killer. But the past is never easy to outrun, especially when so much of it thrives on revenge.

A new threat has emerged from the shadows, and now Nick and Daisy have no choice but to rely on Nick’s killer skills to protect them from everything they’ve tried so hard to escape.

As he turns away, I call to him softly, “Detective McFadden, I would not endanger a soul on that campus. My beloved attends classes there, and it is my greatest desire that she be safe and happy. There are many reasons why I am not the man you seek.”
He swings back quickly. “I don’t think you are the university shooter, if that’s what you’re implying.”
“I imply nothing. I am responding to your litany of complaints and questions about my existence. Your attention does not frighten me, but do not mistake this. If you endanger Daisy or her father in any way, there will not be enough pieces left of you for even your loved ones to identify.”
At my threat, he gives me a bemused smile. “But you don’t give a rat’s ass about yourself?”
“I can take care of myself, Detective, and anyone that I love.” The chill is seeping into my bones, and I need to go inside and warm myself in the sunshine of Daisy’s love. “Good evening to you.” I nod and open the front door of the building.

“There are times when you should respond to a crisis with dignity and a level head. This was not one of those times.”

Whether it stems from love or a sense of responsibility, Anja will do whatever it takes to break the curse and set Rob free, but the price might prove too high. Knowing the circumstances that led to Rob’s betrayal, Anja does her best to forgive him – but can she forget? And where does Bishop’s long lost Sire fit in? Bishop’s made no secret of the fact that he loves Anja, but will that love survive when Carys crooks her finger? Carys has spent her entire life being catered to and adored; what will she think of this newbie vamp who’s taken her place at Jakob’s side and in Bishop’s heart? Ancient curses and past betrayals aside, Anja just might find that the hardest obstacle to overcome is a green eyed monster.

 

“I know the hunger you’re feeling.”

“Beg pardon?” was all that tumbled out when he advanced another step and I retreated, backing up slowly.

He licked his lips, leaving them juicy and ripe for the tasting. “Under the skin, burning hot until you feel like you’ll go up in flames. I can satisfy that craving.”

My mind literally went blank. All the words winked out of existence, leaving only the last five he’d just uttered. My lips parted, but not a sound came out except for the breath that rushed past my teeth as he backed me up against the door.

“You need to feed.”

I wasn’t sure if that negated or supported the double entendre he’d been weaving, but it did un-stick my tongue. “Oh… oh right. Yes, I guess I do.” I’d spent so much time making sure he was well fed I’d neglected my own appetite.

“Go on then, have a taste. I’ve fed well enough today. I’ve got enough to spare.”

My mouth watered at the thought, that tantalizing taste earlier at the feeder club just enough to make me thirst for more. But it was such a bad idea on so many levels, the least being, he needed to hang onto his blood more than I did.

“Oh… I don’t think that’s such a good idea.” Our boundaries were already fuzzy enough. Throwing feeding into the mix was bound to make it even more murky.

“You sure?” He leaned in close, inhaling slowly, as if savoring the scent of my hair. “I think we can do better than good.”

But even in the dark, I still felt it.

I always felt it.

About The Author

I live in Morgan Utah with my husband, daughter, and dog, Kolo. I write as often as my active daughter will let me and my husband has the patience of a saint. I find inspiration from dreams, people I meet, and life experiences. When I write, I usually end up drinking one too many cans of Peace Tea, eating three too many Fruit by the Foot fruit snacks, and accidentally kicking my pup and best buddy, Kolo, too many times since he loves to sleep under my desk at my feet.
I started writing as a teen, but my fear of the unknown won out every time and I threw everything out. After becoming a mother and deciding to stay at home to raise my beautiful little girl, I tried again when I couldn’t stop thinking of ideas. I loved every minute, every hour of sleep lost, and every character that came to life in my mind.
It’s strange, but my favorite moments are when I have writer’s block because I can turn to my husband and find inspiration through him by just doing what we do best together. Talking, laughing, and just being in love. He doesn’t like to read, but he never stops encouraging me to keep going.
Writing has become an important part of my life and every book has a special place in my heart.

Synopsis

Brody “Brutus” Jackson isn’t your average small-town mechanic. The shop where he spends his days doubles as the headquarters for the mercenary group he works with. They jokingly call themselves the Bang Shift because the government contracts they take are the less savory ones, and they’re all just shady enough to do what’s necessary to get the jobs done. As far as Brody’s concerned, it’s the perfect arrangement for a man with no memory of his past, and no hope for the future.

Under FBI protection, Alexandria Collins and her son have been in hiding for ten years. When it’s time to move again, her piece of crap car breaks down and the man giving her a tow is the biggest, hottest guy she’s ever seen. She is determined to ignore the need her long-neglected body hungers for. After all, the last man she showed interest in put a gun to her head.

Brody thinks the skittish Xan is sexy as hell, but it’s not her hot body that has him rocked to his core. He knows her from somewhere, and in his line of work, that’s a dangerous thing. Following orders have never been this hard, but when he finds out she’s his next assignment, he will protect her at all costs … even if what she needs protection from most is him.

BLP REVIEW ~ REBECCA 
I’d never heard of Amity Cross until a request for review for a blog tour came in and the blurb intrigued me. When I looked ‘Unexpected’ up on Amazon the warning; This book is EROTIC ROMANCE and contains a lot of descriptive sex, strong language, lickable rock stars and one a** kicking female lead, sold me completely so I signed up!
So, did it match up to the blurb and warning expectations I had? In many ways yes……………………..
I liked her writing style, the book is full of profanity and descriptive sex but doesn’t feel superfluous or overdone. Her characters are warts and all real, I particularly like Blair – a sassy smart ass who takes no shit off anyone – my type of gal!

One down and out woman. One isolated rock star.
Life at the top is lonely, but so is life at the bottom.
Blair is just looking for someone to take the edge off her crappy life. Dull the pain, breathe a little life into her neglected body. A chance meeting at a bar leads to a night of passion. No names, no personal details. Just sex.
Well, it wasn’t personal until she sees the guy standing on a stage ten meters in front of her. How the hell didn’t she realize that the guy who blew her mind is the guitarist out of that dirty rock’n’roll band, Affliction? And why is he chasing her down the street? And how does he know her name?
Sometimes you find the things you didn’t even know you were looking for in the most unexpected places.

When Blair and West meet she just wants to scratch an itch and escape real life for a while so even though it’s phenomenal and the chemistry is off the charts hot it’s just a fuck, nothing more, nothing less. She doesn’t expect to come face to face to him when attending a concert, and sure as hell doesn’t expect him to chase her!

He was hot. Smoking, knee-weakening, pussy-throbbing hot.

She’s feisty, sassy, rude and abrupt – but the exterior is hiding the lonely girl wanting a purpose to life and someone to share it with while never believing that’s a reality she will have.West is the bad boy rocker who has addiction issues, at times he’s a prick you want to stab and then at others he’s so vulnerable and broken you want the glue to put him back together. From that first night he feels a connection he wants to explore with Blair. Left high and dry but with a plan to seek her out he’s surprised to see her at the concert but determined to take advantage of an opportunity.
Dark and Dangerous & Wildcat do not have a perfect rock star god meets pretty girl story. It’s rocky, it’s broken completely in places and it was a page turner all the way through with no skimming.

“I’m a bitch because I can’t be bothered trying anymore. Not when my efforts are rewarded with being treated like trash. Someone to be used, fucked and tossed out the morning after. My entire attitude might be seen as a cop-out, but I was so fucking tired of clawing my way out of the shit pile. People get to a point where they can’t take anymore. Hope, faith and all that…I’ve learnt the hard way just to let it go. Some people don’t get their happy ending, no matter how deserving they are or aren’t. Real life’s a bitch and so am I.”

So why a 4 star not 5 star read? The foreplay was phenomenal, an orgasm was had but no multiples!!!
The last part of the book felt rushed, tied up with a pretty bow, but did a disservice to the rest I felt – it left me a little “meh, was that it?” as opposed to “OMFG”. It’s a good book and I’d read more by this author. I love the unapologetic characters, I love the profanity, I love the hot sex, I just needed a little more for the finale and that multiple……

 BLP REVIEW ~ Rebecca

 

I enjoy this author’s writing style, full of profanity and descriptive sex but never feels superfluous or overdone however I did not connect with any of the couples in the three novellas as much as with Blair and West in Unexpected, despite looking forward to Sasha’s story in particular. The novella is a difficult one to get the right balance with and it all felt too short and a little rushed. I needed more, a complete, detailed story not a fast & furious quickie but a longer discovery session.

Undeniable

Joe Fox is a floater. He’s a coaster on the coffee table of life.
He rides the wave spread by the juggernaut of rock ‘n’ roll outfit, Affliction, claiming what he wants and sticking to his limits. On the outside he is the calm inside the hurricane. Underneath the surface he’s struggling against his own brewing category five.

When Affliction goes on a long awaited hiatus, he finds himself alone in more ways than one. What’s a man to do when he’s got plenty to forget and all the time in the world to do it in?
Crash into someone beautiful and wild, that’s what.

Someone so wild that they might be able to calm the storm within and awaken something undeniable…

Joe and Jake are best friends who grew up together. With Jake having found Blair, Joe wants that same elusive thing, the connection that completes you. Joe has more privacy and freedom than Blair as he’s not the front man and so when flying back to Australia takes a normal flight with no fuss or fanfare where he meets Alexis. Both are instantly attracted and so follows a delightfully dirty and decadent tryst for 24 hours on an unplanned stopover in Hong Kong. Alexis is an author who writes erotic romance and she researched plenty with Joe, discovering it’s not all imagination but that her words can be reality.

“He reached out and grasped my face, making me look him in the eye and it almost sent me into overdrive. Yeah, I felt it. My nipples tingled, my pussy was convulsing, thighs were clenching, breath was coming fast…all the things I wrote about were leaping off the pages and into the here and now. “I want you and I know you want me, too. It’s not about being cheap or easy.” “You want me?” “Every which way from Sunday.” He’d hardly touched me and shit, he hadn’t even kissed me, and already I was imagining myself underneath him, on top of him…every which way from Sunday.”

Joe lets her walk away at the airport with no contact details and regrets it immediately. He decides he will find her when fate throws her back in his path, however Alexis is dealing with guilt and grief so has closed herself off to relationships due to a tragic event.

“Jake had his wildcat and I had my storm. She was the storm swirling in the opposite direction to mine. Together, we cancelled each other out. Together, there was no storm. I just had to get her to see it.”

This couple complement each other perfectly and Joe fights for what he wants. I loved their banter and the sex was HOT but I was thoroughly enjoying the story and then Wham Bam finished, rushed and nowhere near as good as the lead up.
However, I love her writing style as I’ve said and highlighted sections all through the book.

“It was like a drawer full of spoons when all I needed was a knife. Alexis was the f**king knife…”

“Fuck. He thought my mouth was sweet? I just stared at him like Bambi in the middle of a highway about to be splattered by a long haul truck.”

 

Unbearable

Sasha Montgomery has everything she ever wanted.
She’s managing one of the hottest rock bands of the moment, gets paid to travel the world, hangs around hot musicians all day…
She’s got everything she ever dreamed of…except Mick Savage.

Mick is the lead guitarist from bad boy rock ‘n’ roll outfit Affliction, and she’s got one hell of a crush on him.
For three and a half years Sasha has watched him look at everyone but her. Miserable and shy, the only thing she has to turn to is her work. It was fine when she was just the stage manager – she could deal with that. Now she’s the manager and has to deal with him on a daily basis. Face-to-face. As if her heart couldn’t get any more broken.
Mick hasn’t looked at her twice. He hasn’t spoken to her outside of band business. He hasn’t seen her as anything but Affliction’s manager. Watching him from the side-lines is unbearable, but when he finally realises what her feelings are…everything is going to change.

And it might just be for the worse.

This was my most anticipated of the three yet the one I least liked in the end. Sasha is fabulous but Mick is a prick (yeah I know I’m rhyming!) and needs to be shot. I really dislike the fact he hasn’t noticed her in three and a half years, that’s on me and personal preference but I’d like to think if he’s the one he would feel some type of connection or attraction not that she was invisible. Some will argue that she says;

“To live my dream, I had to sacrifice my heart.”

So that makes it all ok, but it didn’t work for me.

Sasha is feisty and sassy so she’s a good match for him but by the time he does finally does SEE her she runs from him and the chase begins. He gets the girl and the HEA but I was not connected to him as a character, although I adored Sasha.

Unstoppable

Rob Hancock was never the saviour type.
When he saves Lilly Hunter from a nasty situation, he’s about to get more than he bargained for. Now he’s her saviour and will do whatever it takes to make her safe.
And when push comes to shove, he’ll be Unstoppable in his desire to deliver her from her demons.

He’s been such a background figure up to now that I was surprised how much I liked Rob and just how perfect Lilly is for him. Whilst they meet in an awful situation, they are drawn immediately to each other and this was a beautiful one to end the series with. Lilly and Rob have a rocky road and while Rob may not see himself as her saviour he is, but in return Lilly feeds his heart and soul. She cares for him and loves him warts and all, he’s broken and she’s his glue, giving him a sense of worth and belonging. A sweet story with really hot sex and an edge to it that Amity Cross does well.

“I’d never had a friend before, the kind of friend that listened and didn’t judge. The kind of friend that you see in movies and read about in books…I thought those were all made up. There couldn’t be people like that in the world, right? Humanity sucked dick, so why would someone be nice to me just because they thought I was decent? That shit was an urban myth.”

So in conclusion my only complaint apart from ‘Mick the Prick’ is the length of these. I felt a longer story, especially on the first two, would make them as good as Unexpected but it’s a good series and I like the author so will continue to read her.

Jake and Gillian have been friends since high school. As friends, they have supported each other through all the typical life changing events such as marriages, births, divorces and even death. Gillian couldn’t be more thankful for the bond she shares with Jake than she is when all the shameful secrets of her marriage appear front and center, demanding attention. The emotional support she has so freely given to her friend over the years is returned in full force as she nurses the wounds of her failed marriage. But when she starts to notice there might be more to her feelings than just friendship….is she
willing to risk what they already have, for what might be???
For Jake, it has always been Gillian. If only she knew she has owned his heart since the day he met her. After watching her fall in love with one of his best friends, he accepted his fate of being one of her closest friends and locked up the deeper emotions he felt for her. So when he watches her marriage fall apart before his very eyes, he knew she would turn to him for support. What he wasn’t prepared for was the return of those emotions he had long ago locked away. It didn’t take long for him to figure out that this was his chance and he wasn’t about to let her slip through his fingers again. He only needed to make her realize, his love for her was real.

A Fighter’s Desire by L.P. Dover
Two is always better than one.What would you do if you were given the chance to spend the night with not one, but two fighters? Would you do it? Could you open yourself up to the pleasures they offered and do exactly what they said in order to pass on to the next round?

It was common knowledge that Ryley and Camden Jameson, well-known MMA fighters and identical twins, were just as aggressive and passionate in the bed as they were in the ring. The only problem was that if you didn’t pass their test on the first night, then you didn’t proceed to the next round. They loved a good fight, and that’s what they got when they met Ashleigh Warren.

Ashleigh knew what was going to happen when the twins approached her with a proposition, and needless to say, she knew exactly how to handle them … or so she thought. The rules had changed, and in order to get them both she had to first spend one night with each and last until they were done with her. It was a proposition she couldn’t refuse, but she knew it wouldn’t be easy to win. However, it was one that she was going to enjoy.

Blissful Surrender by B.J. Harvey

 

This is a story of Sean Miller, a dom that will have your panties diving for cover with an eyebrow quirk. That will have even the strongest woman dropping to their knees in submission with a piercing stare, and Samantha Richards, a female cop who’s tough, seemingly impenetrable shell is strong enough to resist everyone except the one man it was build up to protect her against.**Disclaimer – If you thought the first two Bliss books were hot, you ain’t seen nothing yet. Creative use of handcuffs, batons, a club scene you have to read to believe, and a tough as nails dominant who is blindsided when the one woman strong enough to disarm him threatens his resolve not to let his past dictate his future.**

Like the other books in the Bliss series, this book can be read as a stand alone. There are common characters in the books but it is not necessary to read the first two books in the series to read this one.
