TEASER ~ HYPERCARS CRUSADER by Jordana Mia Lezamy
HYPERCARS MEET A LOVE STORY
“NOTHING IN LIFE IS A COINCIDENCE”
It was the day of a special occasion in my life, when my entire future was rewritten and set on a new course
Or was this always part of destiny that I believed you cannot run from?
My Destiny. Now Ours. Together. Exclusively.
As I watched him at the show I never planned on attending – I was certain of one thing about his velocity:
ONLY GOD is capable of catching him.
The moment we met, there was no looking back on a past life down a darkened and lonely road any longer.
Before him I had never dated anyone. Before him I lead a normal good-girl life.
With him my plus size curves and unique facial features are loved and adored beyond a passionate and lustful extent
Beside him I became queen to the messiah of a hypercars racing universe I defied heaven for
As fate would have it, regrets collected like old friends ready to relive both our darkest moments
It’s always darkest before the dawn, but to see the sunrise at the end of the finish line, there are SEVEN words of a pledge barricading the way:
Oath
Griffin
Blood
Hypersonic
Racers
Breakneck
League
Cauterized words onto his soul that will decide if he is either a villain or a savior
The ultimate sacrifice must be made by him alone
Which will he choose? Which will he let go of? Which means more?
This is our journey
This is where our saga with fast cars begin.
Contemporary, Erotica, New Adult, Romance : Due to strong language and sexual content,
this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

NEW RELEASE – RIDING DIRTY BY JILL SORENSON
RIDING DIRTY (DIRTY ELEVEN #1)
BY
JILL SORENSON
He’s her weapon of choice…
Psychologist Mia Richards wants revenge. Her new client, tattooed Cole “Shank” Shepherd, provides the perfect means. She just has to manipulate the felon-turned-informant into eliminating her husband’s killers—members of Cole’s rival motorcycle club. The first step, seducing Cole, is simple. As for walking away before she falls hard—it’s already too late.
Dirty Eleven practically raised Cole, and he plans to double-cross the cops rather than sell them out. But smart, sexy Mia is an irresistible distraction. While she’s evaluating his mind, all he can think about is her body until he discovers her true intentions. Walking a fine line between desire and betrayal, they’ll have to outrun her past, his enemies and the law for a love that’s dangerously real

REBECCA`S REVIEW
**WARNING WARNING – PANTY TSUNAM!!! **
This book was a real surprise to me as I had no expectations whatsoever having never read the author before. It’s a raunchy, dirty, kinky romp of an MC Story with the most delicious bad boy biker and a naughty girl who gets to fulfil her fantasies ‘Riding Dirty’.
Psychologist Mia Richards wants revenge. Her new client, tattooed Cole “Shank” Shepherd, provides the perfect means. She just has to manipulate the felon-turned-informant into eliminating her husband’s killers—members of Cole’s rival motorcycle club. The first step, seducing Cole, is simple. As for walking away before she falls hard—it’s already too late.
Dirty Eleven practically raised Cole, and he plans to double-cross the cops rather than sell them out. But smart, sexy Mia is an irresistible distraction. While she’s evaluating his mind, all he can think about is her body until he discovers her true intentions. Walking a fine line between desire and betrayal, they’ll have to outrun her past, his enemies and the law for a love that’s dangerously real
Mia’s plan is simple in her head but from her first meeting with Cole the reality that is this bad boy biker draws her and complicates things. Cole is instantly attracted to Mia and having just come out of prison is more than ready for a physical relationship but he also longs for a deeper intimacy with a partner and a chance to build a life with them. Mia had the life and intimacy ripped away from her when a home invasion robbery ended with the murder of her husband and she has been numb ever since. Those events changed her and the journey she takes with Cole explores the new person she has become in the aftermath of those horrific events. Cole has never known a normal life, or the opportunities that Mia has, but at his core he’s a good man with a strong moral code in a shitty life by circumstance as much as choice.
This is not a raw, gritty MC book, it’s a hot as fuck, dirty, kinky, raunchy MC book. I personally thought it was bloody fabulous, the plausibility factor in the plot is stretched – to say the least – at points but I just didn’t care because I loved the couple and the sex was Va Va Voom!!!
For a couple of hours of pure hot fiction resulting in multiple bookgasms and a panty tsunami this more than delivered. The sex was incredibly well written and naughty – Mia explores all sorts of kink with Cole, be warned there is a f/f/m threesome which, while I would not call it particularly explicit, may not be everybody’s thing.
So to recap – Would I recommend it? Yes…. but it’s not an angst ridden, violent MC book which many I think expect the minute the MC tag is mentioned. It’s a dirty romance with kink that has an MC setting, some suspense, a smoking hot alpha and a naughty girl exploring her sexuality and discovering that life can give second chances and new beginnings.
Oh and make sure your partner or battery operated friend is on hand!!! ………………………………………….

EXCERPT
I start to feel a little dizzy and I stumble on the spot. Colt takes hold of me and pushes me against the wall with his body holding me upright.
“Sorry I can’t stand still and I’m so drunk I can’t hold us both up unless we’re up against the wall,” he chuckles.
“I don’t mind being the meat in this sandwich between you and the wall,” I say and then giggle, followed by a hiccup. Did I, Delia Norman just say that? He chuckles and smiles. The heat of his body against mine is doing crazy things to my libido right now. I figure this is the last time I’m going to see the rock God Colter Slade so I decide to just go for it.

Lauren has decided her marriage is over, but has yet to tell Jay, her abusive husband of the past twenty five years. On a night out with girlfriends, she has a few drinks and musters the courage to shamefully come clean over the abuse she has suffered over the years.
Gabriel joins his brothers for a friday night drink at a local bar, thirty five, good looking and single after a very brief, failed marriage, all he is ever on the lookout for is a hook up….Even names aren’t important to him…Straight sex, no complications.
Watch as their worlds collide, neither of them prepared for the effect each will have on the other. The chemistry is instant and overwhelming and has the possibility to destroy them but will the mind blowing sex be enough to keep them together and overcome each of their pasts?
