Jul 30

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: July

Series: Calendar Girl #7

Author: Audrey Carlan

Release Date: July 30, 2015

Blurb

Hip-hop, Miami heat, and the Latin Lov-ah.

The second half to this year-long journey has taken me to Magic City…Miami. I’ve been hired by the nation’s top hip-hop artist Anton Santiago. His name is as sexy as him, and rolls off the tongue the same way his muscled body rolls to his music. He goes by the name Latin Lov-ah and boy does he work that title from his rock hard body, Latin hip-hop fusion dance moves, to the way he beds his women.

He’s raw, dirty, and one hundred percent player…and I want to wrap my naked body all over him and forget about everything.

Every word that comes out of his mouth is a sirens call.

Every thrust of his hips draws me closer.

Every breath against my neck sends me into a tailspin of need and desire.

After what happened in June, I need to rip the bandage off. Move on. Anton could be just the thing I need to get back to me.

I was hired to play the part of a seductress in Anton’s new music video but in the end, I’m was the one seduced.

***

In the seventh book of the Calendar Girl serial, Mia is sent to Miami, Florida. Still on her mission to save her father, she is hired to be in a hot new music video where her unique look and recent popularity will prove invaluable.

Each installment in the Calendar Girl Serial will release every month throughout 2015. The stories will feature Mia’s journey as an escort to twelve clients in twelve different locations.

Warning: This book is designed for audiences 18+ due to language and graphic sexual content.

Excerpt

A shadow
blocks some of the light behind me. I turn.

I’m glad I had some of that
drink, because I nearly have a heart attack at the sight of Lukas Thorn.

Everything disappears. The
sunset, the cavernous apartment, the low hum of the conversations, the music.
My entire world centers on the man I’ve been trying to find for two weeks.

Right here.

And not just here, but standing
directly in front of me again.

I try not to squeal in delight.

If I thought he was a god among
men before, I’m only more convinced now.

He’s in a black flowing shirt,
one of many flowing shirts in his collection apparently. Taut thick chest
muscles press it outward anyway, sinewy neck muscles leading to broad
shoulders. Broader than before. Like he had some added on since the last time I
saw him.

But no, that’s ridiculous. I’m
just seeing them from a new angle. So close. So close I could almost stick my
tongue out and . . .

“Jayden Raye, Jayd for short,”
says Lorena, “I’d like you to meet Director Lukas Thorn. Oh, but that’s right.
I forgot. You two have already met. I believe Lukas saved your life at Bogart
that night a couple of weeks ago.”

I’m not sure if it’s just me or
if it’s both Lukas and me, but we just stare at each other. He wears a
half-smile, the perfect stubble still in place over the tanned skin and
flawless square chin that burned itself into my memory on the plane here.

His hair is especially
“just-fucked” tonight, waves of brownish-black darkness with those delightful
wispy ends that I just want to bite.

His expression is relaxed but
incredulous as he stares into me, his sapphire eyes searing a sensuous pathway
into my soul. He looks at me like he knows me, like he’s known me for a
thousand years.

Yeah, glad I waited. Fuck Karissa
and Jaxon. Fuck Javier. Fuck those shitheads who hit on me. This is what I
want! This man right here! Wherever he is, I’m home.

“What the fuck, Lorena?” says
Lukas Thorn, not breaking his stare into my eyes.

His words knock me out of my
spell. I turn to look at Lorena’s shocked expression.

“Excuse me?” she says.

“This is a joke, Lorena. What are
you up to?”

She folds her arms and throws him
an evil questioning stare. “I don’t like your tone, Lukas.” Her voice has gone
three octaves lower than usual.

He chuckles, then returns his
gaze to me. He looks me up and down like he’s buying a horse.

“No thanks, Lorena,” he says as
he turns to walk away. “I’m not going to fall for it again.”

At that, he turns and drifts
across the room. Everyone notices him, like he’s the center of all magnetism in
the universe.

I’m frozen in place, unable to
move. I’m not sure what I’m feeling.

Did he just reject me like I think
he just did? Like a piece of meat?

“Don’t let him get to you,”
Lorena says. “It’s just his nature. He likes you.”

I take another sip of my drink,
watching his broad shoulders under that muscular neck as he joins a group of
well-dressed women at a tall round table on the other end of the balcony. He
motions a naked attendant over. His is flawlessly blonde.

Bitch.

“He likes me?” I say. “That’s not how someone reacts when they like
you. Wait, oh wait. Is it him? Is he the one you want to ‘sell’ me to?”

“No, of course not, dear. And
there’s no selling. That’s an awful term. He’s just the director of my academy.
It is very strange that he reacted that way. Wait, you don’t know him, do you?
Did you meet him before the restaurant?”

My head spins. I don’t know how
to answer. I don’t want to tell her about the plane. Apparently, she doesn’t
know about it. The less people who know, the better.

Suddenly, my inner diva fires up
inside. I never know when she’s going to show up. Yeah baby, hello! I down the rest of my drink . . . hoo-hah! . . . and place it on a nearby
table.

“If you would excuse me for a
moment, Lorena,” I say.

“Of course,” she says.

I march across the room toward that flowing
untucked shirt and glistening hair. I plant myself behind him and to the left,
making eye contact with the three bitches who are laughing at whatever he’s
saying. My heart beats out of my chest as I wait.

LUCKY’S CHOICE

The Last Riders #7

Jamie Begley

Releasing July 29th, 2015

Young Ink Press

Life dealt him a dead man’s hand.

Lucky had always led a life of service, always putting his life on the line for someone else, managing to survive by pure luck and skill. After bringing an end to a multi-state drug ring, he was finally able to live the life he had wanted as a Last Rider.

A good man would walk away and not touch the curvy woman who had been tugging on his heartstrings. Lucky wasn’t a good man. Therefore, the bad-ass biker in him had a choice: once again become the man he had pretended to be and stake his claim
or take the devil’s highway.

Some girls had all the luck.

Willa wasn’t one of them. All she wanted to do was give a home to the children she had made orphans. Instead, she found herself needing help from the man who had left the pulpit behind to embrace a life of sin.

Painfully shy and withdrawn, she wanted a quiet life, a simple man, and well-behaved children. The last thing she had ever expected was for Lucky to want her size twenty body and show her a passion that would lead her straight to hell.

“I was born in a small town in Kentucky. My family began poor, but worked their way to owning a restaurant. My mother was one of the best cooks I have ever known, and she instilled in all her children the value of hard work, and education.

Taking after my mother, I’ve always love to cook, and became pretty good if I do say so myself. I love to experiment and my unfortunate family has suffered through many. They now have learned to steer clear of those dishes. I absolutely love the holidays and my family puts up with my zany decorations.

For now, my days are spent writing, writing, and writing. I have two children who both graduated this year from college. My daughter does my book covers, and my son just tries not to blush when someone asks him about my books.

Currently I am writing five series of books- The Last Riders, The VIP Room, Predators MC, Biker Bitches, and The Dark Souls.

All my books are written for one purpose- the enjoyment others find in them, and the expectations of my fans that inspire me to give it my best.”

RELEASE BLITZ & REVIEW ~ Tattered on My Sleeve by Autumn Jones Lake

Jul 28

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Title: Tattered on My Sleeve

Series: Lost Kings MC #4

Author: Autumn Jones Lake

Release Date: July 28, 2015

*Although this is the fourth book in the Lost Kings MC series, Wrath and Trinity’s story can be read first.

Blurb

Trinity Hurst.

That girl fucking owned me the minute I laid eyes on her. At twenty-one years old she already had a cold, calculating wall around her. The walls she built up around herself were designed to keep guys like me away. Underneath her tough girl exterior lay something sweet and vulnerable that I very much wanted to explore.

I had her first.

I fell in love with her.

Then we fucked everything up.

Wrath.

His name should have been lust. Pure, soul-shattering lust was the deadly sin I felt when I looked up—way up—into his ocean blue eyes. I should despise bikers. I should most definitely steer clear of this one, with his thick, muscled arms, and low sensual voice. My normally impeccable self-preservation instinct vanished the minute he walked in the door. Like everything else in my life, I fucked it up. And he’s never going to forgive me.

Old Habits Die Hard.

Wrath and Trinity met when the Lost Kings MC was on shaky ground. After three perfect nights together, Wrath knew she was it for him. But Trinty’s dark past was about to catch up to her and the Lost Kings MC was her only hope for protection. One misunderstanding led to a chain of mistakes that pushed them apart for years. When long-buried secrets are finally revealed, Wrath will stop at nothing to break their bad habits and make Trinity understand—she belongs to him.

Author’s note: There is no actual cheating in Tattered on My Sleeve.

BLP REVIEW ~ Rebecca

Now I know you’re all going to roll your eyes at me because as usual I’ve got to say that this genre can be a minefield – the good, the bad, the ugly and the downright dreadful all competing in a huge market with a seamlessly endless appetite for MC books, quantity over quality. Amidst this sea of mediocrity Autumn Jones Lake has given us a series that is set in an MC but where the emphasis is on the relationships, the camaraderie and the romance, not so much the violence and grit of a one percenters world, yes it could be called soft but for me it has a freshness that stands out, characters that engage and leave you wanting more and, with this latest offering, the development of Ms Lake as a writer and the growth shown is beautiful to watch.

‘Tattered on my Sleeve’ is the fourth book in the Lost Kings MC Series and the much anticipated story of Wrath and Trinity. It could have been a disaster as a few lately have been when you are revisiting events and timelines already seen in previous books with a different couple, however, not only is the timeline seamless with no confusion but the telling of the events from Wrath and Trinity’s point of view is fascinating and doesn’t feel like a regurgitation of the other books.

Wrath and Trinity have a chequered history, ‘Tattered’ explores their relationship from the very beginning through everything we know from the previous books and beyond. What I loved was how every feeling I had for them before was turned upside down and inside out, when you see both sides to events, when the feelings and thought processes behind the actions are explained, it changes your perspective and sympathies. Going in I had expectations of totally being on Trinity’s side and Wrath being an asshole as men can be! By the end Wrath had been an asshole but I still adored him and understood his motivations, I especially liked the insights to his behaviour with Hope and their relationship. Wrath and Trinity have a path littered with misunderstanding and hurt yet still the connection is never totally broken, the feelings are there no matter the hurt they inflict on each other. ‘Tattered’ will give you the feels, it’s an emotional roller coaster with so many ups and downs you will be reeling, angry, sad, happy, crying, screaming, frustrated and horny, prepare for them all!

I’m not going to rehash the whole story and cast here, I’m not going to give spoilers, if you’ve taken the time to click the cover, read the blurb and are now reading reviews then you’re intrigued……………..so do it. One Click. Buy this book and take the journey that is Wrath and Trinity because it’s worth it, escape to the Lost Kings world and remember what romance and relationships, with all the pitfalls and problems, is and why we dream.

Excerpt

Besides his job as enforcer for the Lost Kings MC, Wrath owns a gym. One of the ways he tries to reconcile with Trinity is by asking her to help him prepare for a fight. This is from one of the times they’re working together.

My attention is finally drawn to the papers Trinity has in her hands. “What’s that?”

“Oh, it’s nothing. I didn’t realize Jake was already… You asked me to put some stuff together… So never mind.”

She folds the papers in half before I snatch them out of her hands.

“Ow! Thanks for the paper cuts, asshat.”

Jake chuckles and grabs her hands to look them over. I can’t wait to get in the ring with him later and kick his ass while Trinity watches.

I’m impressed with what she printed out. I knew she’d be good at this. She’s got a week’s worth of circuit training exercises broken into different ones on each day. Each circuit includes a balance of strength and endurance exercises. I glare at Jake, and he takes the hint to get lost.

“You’ve done your homework,” I say, handing the papers back to Trin.

The corner of her mouth twitches down in disappointment. “You don’t think it’s any—”

“Is that what I said?” I hate snapping at her, but sometimes it’s the only way to get through her self-doubt.

“No.”

“Where’d you find some of these?”

“Are they too advanced for you?”

I tilt my head and stare at her. “Seriously?” She chuckles. “Good, then call me when you’re going to try the Front Lever. It looks sexy.” She spins away and heads back to the office.

Author Bio

As an only child, Autumn kept herself entertained by making up all sorts of stories. For a long time, life and school dimmed her enthusiasm for creative writing. But as soon as she rediscovered her love of storytelling, she put her fingers to the keyboard and hasn’t looked back.

Autumn lives in Upstate New York with her husband and their three rescue dogs. She is actively involved with several dog rescue groups and her local RWA chapter.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ – No Kissing Allowed by Melissa West

Jul 28

Posted by Book Loving Pixies

Synopsis:

No kissing. No touching. And definitely no falling in love…

Armed with her besties, an embarrassing number of shots, and her list of 10 Wild Things To Do Before Adulthood, recent grad Cameron Lawson is partying it up before she starts her dream job at New York’s biggest ad agency. Her last task? Hook up with a random guy. And while it’s so not her style, the super-sexy guy sitting next to her is definitely game. No names. No details.

Blurb

After a photograph of Luc Moretti saving a tourist hits social media, he instantly becomes New York’s most famous and beloved cop. When a major network decides to run a special on the “American Hero,” Luc’s boss gives him no choice but to cooperate in the name of good exposure for the department. Luc doesn’t mind the celebrity status-what he does mind is the gorgeous brunette journalist who’s been assigned to follow his every move.

Ava Sims is a woman who gets what she wants. And what she wants is to be CBC’s lead anchor-but to get there, she’ll need to nail the fluff piece on the playboy cop. Luc Moretti is everything Ava knows to stay away from: a stubborn charmer with a hero-complex.

Soon, Ava’s doing the unthinkable, and falling for the best of New York’s finest …

Excerpt

A woman stood in the back corner of the room, helping herself to coffee from the fancy coffee machine Brinker kept for his own personal use. Her body was mostly hidden by one of the horrible potted plants that Brinker’s wife insisted gave his office “homey character.”

And then she stepped into plain view.

He couldn’t help it; he checked her out. Everything about the woman demanded a second look, the legs in particular.

Luc had never really considered himself a legs-man, being more of an “equal opportunity” guy when it came to female body parts. (Although, if his mother ever asked, he’d swear up and down that he only ever noticed personality. Maybe the eyes.)

But the legs on this one were damn near perfect. For that matter, the high breasts and slim waist also earned high marks.

Her subdued black skirt and white blouse should have been boring, but they’d obviously been perfectly tailored to fit her trim frame perfectly.

The black high heels were icing on the already perfect cake.

Then he looked at her face, and for a second, Luc felt just a little bit dazed.

If anything, her features were even more perfect than the body. Her eyes were maybe just slightly too large for her otherwise petite features, but there was no doubt about it, the woman was stunning.

And yet, there was something else there too, just beyond the jolt of sexual awareness.

Recognition.

Luc might not have his brother Vincent’s photographic memory, but he was pretty damn good with faces. And he was pretty sure he knew this one. His brain scrambled to place her, but he kept coming up empty.

Her eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly on Luc, and his narrowed right back. He definitely knew her from somewhere.

She gave him a slow, knowing smile. “Fifth and Fortieth, three years ago.”

He shook his head to indicate he didn’t follow. “You’re trying to figure out how you know me. Three years ago, you gave my news van a parking ticket, and we exchanged…words. That’s where you know me from. I’m Ava Sims.”
