NEW RELEASE ~ How To Handle A Heartbreaker by MARIE HARTE
It’s here!
HOW TO HANDLE A HEARTBREAKER.
HE CAN’T GET HER OUT OF HIS HEAD
It’s lust at first sight when Brody Singer first lays eyes on Abby Dunn. The dark-haired beauty looks a lot like a woman he once knew, who died years ago. At first Brody fears his attraction is a holdover from that secret crush, but Abby’s definitely different. She’s a lot shyer, a lot sexier and, despite her attempts to dissuade his interest, absolutely mesmerizing.
SHE CAN’T GET HIM OUT OF HER BOOKS
Abby isn’t having it. She’s still trying to put her last disastrous relationship behind her and overcome the flaws her ex wouldn’t let her forget. But somehow Brody isn’t getting the hint. It doesn’t help that when writing her steamy novels, she keeps casting Brody as the hero. Brody is more than happy to serve as her muse and eager to help make sure her “research” is authentic. But when their research turns into something real…will she choose her own happily ever after?

PANTY MELTING HAWT !!!
One Night of Sin (AFTER HOURS #1)
A sexy category romance novella from Entangled’s Brazen imprint…
Sometimes it’s good to be bad…
When it comes to sex, good girl Skyler Thompson always plays it safe, choosing stable and sedate over wild and thrilling. She doesn’t do one-night-stands, but one look at sinfully sexy Gage Holt and she’s willing to reconsider. He makes her want to be bad for once in her life, and she’s prepared to take what she wants.
Danger follows former MMA fighter Gage Holt like a shadow. Despite his successes as part owner of Sin, an exclusive nightclub in Boston, Gage can’t risk getting involved with a woman, especially one as sweet as Skyler. Still, he can’t resist a taste—and it’s so damn good he has to see her again.
As addicted as he is to her, Gage knows there’s no future for him and Skyler—not with his past lurking in the dark corners of an MMA cage. But Skylar’s tougher than she looks, and she’s ready to fight for her man.
A RITA-award nominated author, Elle Kennedy grew up in the suburbs of Toronto, Ontario, and holds a B.A. in English from York University. From an early age, she knew she wanted to be a writer, and actively began pursuing that dream when she was a teenager.
Elle currently publishes with Harlequin Romantic Suspense, Harlequin Blaze, Samhain Publishing, and NAL. She loves strong heroines and sexy alpha heroes, and just enough heat and danger to keep things interesting!
“You say the filthiest things,” she moaned.
His warm lips grazed her cheek. “That’s ’cause I’m a filthy boy. A very filthy boy who needs to be punished. So now ride me until I can’t see straight.”
YES YES YES……. IN MY BEST MEG RYAN ORGASM VOICE YES!!!
I WANT TO BE SO, SO BAD WITH GAGE, DO NAUGHTY FILTHY THINGS…………….
RIDE RIDE RIDE
Oh sorry, where was I??? Got a little distracted.
My partner in crime on here, Tracy, was the one who recommended Kit Rocha to me so I tend to trust her judgement! A while back we were discussing hot alpha military romances and she told me I had to try an Elle Kennedy. This is a new series, and a novella, so I decided to dive in and take a look. It may have been my first but it sure as hell won’t be my last.
Elle Kennedy has created a swoon worthy, panty melting bad boy that you will just love. I devoured it. In one sitting. Could not force myself away from him. If this is the standard of her books I will be taking a leave of absence while I read her back catalogue. Yep Gage is that hawt!
I should take a minute to say that Skyler is a more than worthy good girl going filthy bad as she is discovering her sassy girl inside and there are several secondary characters that I would like to see how their stories develop. There is a strong family and friends dynamic which I loved, believable baddies and of course our hero………………
While I always moan that novellas are too short and I needed more, I can’t tell you enough that at $0.99 this is incredibly good value for a ridiculously hot & steamy read that will have your panties melting………………….

Lesley Jones Biography
I was born and raised in a small working class town in Essex, just outside of East London. I am married with three sons and in 2006 we all moved to the other side of the world, settling on the beautiful Mornington Peninsula, about 50K outside of Melbourne Australia. It’s a whole new way of life for us down here, we are so lucky to live in such a beautiful part of the world.
I am currently a stay at home mum but in the past I have worked at Marks & Spencer, as a classroom assistant/teachers aid and have run my business.
As well as writing, I love to read and have been known to get through four or five books a week. My other interests are watching my boys play football…The round ball version. I am happy to admit to being an addict of social media and I owe a lot to my Facebook and Twitter family in promoting my work. I am also rather partial to a glass… or bottle of wine, a nicely chilled Marlborough Sav Blanc being my favorite. Being a born and raised Essex girl, I will happily admit to be being a big fan of spray tans, Shellac and am regularly, waxed, tinted and sculpted, although I am more likely to be found in thongs/flipflops than a pair of white stilettos these days.

REVIEW & RECOMMENDATION ~ CRAVING ABSOLUTION (THE ACES #3) by Nicole Jacquelyn
BLURB:
Farrah Miller and Cody “Casper” Butler have a longstanding relationship that both refuse to discuss.
It isn’t romantic.
It may not even be classified as a friendship.
Casper’s been saving Farrah from herself for longer than he’d care to admit, watching silently as she drowned herself in alcohol and bad decisions. Then when she finally got her act together, he left. He told himself he was giving her time to sort herself out. He tried to give her space.
But getting shot in the chest can change a man’s perspective, and Casper’s done waiting.
When he shows up on her doorstep one night, everything changes.
He’s the man who’s seen her at her very worst.
She’s his weakness.
He runs when things get hard.
She never lets anyone see below the surface and is terrified of being abandoned.
Casper knows it’s a long shot, that there’s a good chance she’ll never drop her guard for him- but he has to try. Because a life with Farrah is exactly what he wants…
Even if he has to fight her for it.

ABOUT NICOLE:
Nicole Jacquelyn is the mom of two little girls and a full time college student. She hasn’t watched television in well over a year, she still does things that drive her mother crazy, and
she loves to read. At eight years old, when asked what she wanted to be when she grew up,
she told people she wanted to be a mom. When she was twelve her answer changed – to author.
By the time she was eighteen, when people asked her what she wanted to do with her life, she told them she really wanted to be a writer- but the odds of that happening were so slim that she’d get her business degree “just to be safe”. Her dreams stayed constant. First she became a mom, then she went to college, and during her senior year- with one daughter in first grade and the other in preschool, she sat down and wrote a story.

#2 Craving Redemption
#3 Craving Absolution
BLP REVIEWS:
Rebecca
Biker/MC books have exploded in popularity over recent times which makes for a huge market and therefore a huge choice with more quantity than quality. The Good, the Bad, the Ugly, the mediocre, the downright silly and sometimes occasionally the special.
Nicole Jacquelyn’s ACE’S MC Series is one of these. Her debut book ‘Craving Constellations’ was a huge success, ‘Craving Redemption’ was a solid continuation and ‘Craving Absolution’ is, for me, the best so far.
My review for ‘Craving Redemption’ was actually titled #cravingcasper because I was desperate for his story and knew I was going to be enamoured ~ Farrah was just meh for me, I wasn’t fussed either way.
I write this a week after finishing and still get a lump in my throat and cannot get my thoughts in order.
#cravingcasper #feelsforfarrah #quiltmadewithlove #ladybug
That`s it. On rewind in my head. Over and over.
I have the feels for Farrah. Huge. Emotional overload. At 49% I had to stop. And take a breath. And then another.
My heart was breaking for her. The reasons for the Ladybug nickname. The quilt. The traumatic experiences gone through as a child to cause coping consequences like this are just too awful to contemplate. However the writing is flawless, wringing every tiny piece of emotion out of you. Picks you up, chews you up and spits you out.
At this point I hated one character but this book was full of WTF moments so I really shouldn`t be surprised that nothing was as it seemed and he redeemed himself completely. It’s a rollercoaster ride a lot of the way.
I still adored Casper who struggled to do right for the damaged Farrah, for his club and his brothers, for his family, for himself but I am so totally for Farrah and the feels in this one.
I can`t wind this up without a reference to the epilogue, I LOVED it! Mega WTF moments, glimpses into the future that were fabulous, I reread it 3 times!!
So if you want quality with feels then this book and series is for you…..
Congratulations to Nicole Jacquelyn this one is a keeper for the bookshelf.

When I was offered a review copy of the third book in the ACES series by Nicole Jacquelyn I have to admit, I jumped at the chance!
It’s been a while since a book has had me reading just about nonstop ALL day – I didn’t want to put CRAVING ABSOLUTION down though I had to eventually, but it was a struggle!!!!
Definitely my favourite of the 3 books in the series, CRAVING ABSOLUTION was a really emotional story that focused on the relationship between Farrah & Cody (Casper).
Farrah was a truly terrific character – after reading about her in CRAVING REDEMPTION I really wasn’t sure how she was gonna come across in CA – but I shouldn’t have worried – Nicole made me ADORE Farrah.
My heart broke for her and I wanted so much for things to work out – after reading about her past, her behaviour in CRAVING REDEMPTION made so much sense.
Cody was a star – though at one point I kept thinking he really needed a bit of a kick up the arse – but learning about just how much he had been a part of Farrah’s life until their book began was interesting and very telling of how he felt about her. Reading about how he went from model student to MC member and the reasons behind his choices gave us more of an insight into the man that he had grown into.
Their story wasn’t an easy one. They had their share of rough times and heartache but the journey they took us on was fab and kept me engaged from the start. At 50% in I was a snotty, runny nosed, red eyed mess… Could happily have done in a couple of characters… (all I can say is keep the tissues handy!!)
We caught up again with other characters that we met in previous books including Dragon & Brenna, Asa & Callie as well as Slider and other members of the ACES MC.
Gram, as ever, was awesome, and with her sister Lily, gods, what a fantastic pair!!!
The Epilogue…. jeez, how can I put it….. it’s FANBLOODYTASTIC!!!!
Nicole did it again with CRAVING ABSOLUTION, it’s a truly wonderful book – and it’s not just the story that I’m talking about. Nicole’s writing has grown and developed with each book in the series and it has been fabulous to watch.
If you haven’t picked up your copy of CRAVING ABSOLUTION yet, do it NOW….It’s bloody brilliant!!!!

Does he?
His attention soon turns to the beautiful, shy Emma Clark–a friend of his sister’s who intrigues him. He’s getting a vibe from her that makes him want to know more. Is she as submissive as she seems? When Emma starts receiving unwanted attention from a secret admirer, he steps in to help. Then the case he’s investigating at work gets messy.

My Review ~ Tracy
I love The Works series from Marie Harte and was delighted when I heard that the 3rd book was gonna focus on Trevor Doran.
We were introduced to the main man briefly through his sister Maggie’s story in book #2, ‘Working Out’ and in book #1, ‘Bodywork’ which featured Shelby & Shane!
The third book gave us the heat, passion and sexiness that we have come to expect from Marie when it comes to this series but this time there was also action, suspense and a healthy dose of kink!!!!
I really liked Trevor, he had a dominant personality but wasn’t a macho-man fool…. Emma was a little bit of a softie at times when it came to certain people but Trevor seemed to bring out another side of her!
We caught up with Shelby, Shane, Maggie & Mac…. and let’s not forget Mimi & Ron – as if we could overlook that zany pair!!!!
A quick, hot fun read, my only grumble is that it was over too quick for me….. I could quite happily sit and read about this group of friends for ages!!!
A definite series to check out. If you like a sexy story with heat, loads of attraction, likeable characters and a story that keeps you entertained, THE WORKS books should be on your TBR list!!!!!!

BLOG TOUR ~ Guest Post – LOVING THE OMEGA (Redwood Pack #7.5) by Carrie Ann Ryan
BLOG TOUR ~ LOVING THE OMEGA
A Redwood Pack Novel, Book 7.5
Release Date: July 15, 2014
Today you join us on the Blog Tour for the release of LOVING THE OMEGA by Carrie Ann Ryan.
We are delighted that Carie Ann has taken the time to tell us a little about her favourite hero or heroine!!! 😉
GUEST POST ~ CARRIE ANN RYAN
Are authors supposed to pick favorites? I don’t think so, but who knows, right? I always say my favorite hero or heroine is the one I’m currently writing, and honestly, that’s true. However, I also have another favorite that I can’t let go. Maddox dug his claws into me when I was first plotting The Redwood Pack all those years ago and I haven’t been able to stop loving him.
He’s the tortured hero, the scarred one, the twin that sees too much. His mate was the one he could never have, could never truly see.
See? He’s swoon worthy.
Maddox is the Omega of the Pack, meaning he feels every emotion of the Redwood Pack. Anything too happy, too sad, too angry, and it becomes almost unbearable. He and Ellie had their HEA in the novel, Shattered Emotions, and it’s one of my favorite books to date because I got to dive deep into their pasts.
Now I got to see them again in the novella, Loving the Omega. I wanted to catch up with the couple and see how they were doing after the war ended and how their HEA was looking up. I’m so glad I got the chance because they surprised me. Again. 😀
BLURB:
Maddox Jamenson almost lost his mate before he knew she existed, but his life is now exactly how he’d dreamed it. The war with the Centrals is over, and his family is healing one day at a time. Ellie is reveling in the simple perfection that is her life and family now, but that doesn’t mean she can shed the self-doubts and concerns that come with being a new mother, mate, and Redwood.
When a disturbance in their quiet life threatens to ruin everything they’ve fought for, Maddox and Ellie will have to learn not only to rely on each other more than ever, but find within themselves the power to forgive.
Author’s Note: This is a novella set after book 7 to give you a taste of Maddox and Ellie. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of one of the Redwood’s favorite couples.

AUTHOR BIO:
USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.
Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.

EXCERPT:
As the Omega, he had that bond with each and every packmember—except his twin. He could feel the highs and lows that came with living, and it was his job to keep the emotional health of the Redwood Pack in alignment.
Without the mating bond, however, he hadn’t been able to feel Ellie. That alone had made him feel adrift in an endless stream of pain and loss.
Now, though, he had everything.
Or at least he tried to believe he did.
“No, I don’t need to talk about it again,” Maddox finally answered. Ellie let out a breath then leaned into him, brushing her teeth at the same time as he did.
They’d discussed his dreams and what they meant over and over in the past month since the Redwoods had defeated Caym and the Centrals, but they couldn’t find a way to make them stop.
There was no Omega for the Omega.
Not even the mate who loved him with everything she had could be his Omega.
“Mom? Dad?”
Maddox grinned despite the sour way they’d woken up and pulled Ellie into the bedroom at the sound of their daughter’s voice.
“We’re in here, Charlotte,” he called out, grateful he and Ellie had worn clothes to bed that evening.
Charlotte huffed and rolled her pretty brown eyes—so much like Ellie’s— as she walked into the bedroom. Seven years old and the little girl already had the attitude of a pre-teen.
Not that Maddox cared a bit.

UNBELOVED BY MADELINE SHEEHAN
Warning: This is not a conventional or predictable love story. It involves one woman and two men bound by a love so destructive it spans two decades, pitting brother against brother, and shattering the lives of those touched by it.
Dorothy Kelley is a born romantic, searching for her prince. Instead she finds herself pregnant at fifteen, and a in a loveless marriage by the tender age of eighteen.
Then hope comes riding into her life on a motorcycle and within weeks, Jason “Jase” Brady, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen motorcycle club, sweeps Dorothy off her feet.
But nothing is ever simple for Dorothy. Jase is married with children. And as Dorothy patiently waits for Jase to give her the happily-ever-after she’s been dreaming about, James “Hawk” Young, a member of the Hell’s Horsemen with secrets of his own, sees an opening into Dorothy’s life and takes it.
Carrying on two secret affairs is no easy feat. As Dorothy tries to dig herself out of the mess she’s created, covering one mistake with another, tragedy strikes, nearly costing Dorothy her life and that of her unborn son.
What follows is a long and painful journey of self-discovery and forgiveness, as Dorothy comes to realize that home was exactly where she’d left it, and the love she’d forever craved had always been within her reach.
This is the story of Dorothy, Jase, and Hawk.
We are all born pure; it is our journey that burdens us and leads us astray. Our mistakes that beat us down and cover us in guilt and shame, burying us a little more with each passing hardship. It is up to us to dig ourselves out, to come to terms with our faults, to embrace not only our imperfections but those of the ones we love, and to once again find the path we strayed from.

MY REVIEW ~ REBECCA
UNBELOVED BY MADELINE SHEEHAN
HOW DO YOU BEGIN TO DESCRIBE THE UNDENIABLE SERIES?
WHAT WORDS CAN EVEN START TO GIVE ANY COMPREHENSION OF THE WORLD AND CHARACTERS MS SHEEHAN HAS CREATED…………
EPIC?
RICH?
RAW?
GRITTY?
ALIVE?
THE LIST COULD GO ON AND ON, ALL WOULD BE CORRECT YET NONE, ‘TIL YOU READ AND EXPERIENCE THEM FOR YOURSELF, CAN EVER LET YOU KNOW JUST WHAT A SHATTERINGLY VISCERAL PUNCH THESE BOOKS DELIVER.
THIS IS A FAMILY STORY, A HUGE SWEEPING EPIC SPANNING GENERATIONS WITH SO MUCH DEPTH TO HER CHARACTERS AND THE WORLD THEY INHABIT THAT IT`S HARD NOT TO BE INVESTED, IT`S HARD NOT TO TREAT THEM AS REAL. SOME YOU LOVE, SOME YOU DETEST, OTHERS JUST ANNOY THE FUCK OUT OF YOU AND SOME YOU WANT TO SAVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART BUT YOU BECOME SO EMOTIONALLY INVESTED YOU FEEL AND CARE FOR EVERY ONE, THE GOOD, THE BAD, THE UGLY, THE CRAZY AND THE BROKEN.
EACH BOOK IS SO EAGERLY ANTICIPATED BECAUSE MADELINE SHEEHAN IS A MASTER OF WORDS, HER PERSPECTIVE ON LIFE AND RELATIONSHIPS, BOTH THE FUNCTIONAL AND DYSFUNCTIONAL, MAKE EACH ONE A RIDE YOU DON`T WANT TO END.
UNBELOVED IS THE 4TH INSTALMENT OF THIS SAGA ~ HAWK , JASE AND DOROTHY’S STORY IT’S DIFFERENT FROM THE PREVIOUS BOOKS NO DOUBT ABOUT THAT, BUT THEN LIFE IS LIKE THAT, IT’S AS MUCH ABOUT THE SWEET, THE FUNNY, THE PAINFUL AND THE HARD AS IT IS THE CRAZY, THE STEAMY AND THE MADNESS. LIFE’S A FUCKED UP MISH MASH OF MOMENTS THAT MAKE UP THE WHOLE, THE PACE CHANGES AT TIMES AS DOES THE PERSPECTIVE.
THE LOVE TRIANGLE. IT’S COMPLICATIONS, DECISIONS AND CONCLUSION ARE THE MAIN FOCUS OF THE STORY BUT OH, IT WAS SO MUCH MORE.
LESS THAN HALFWAY THRU;
COX HAD MADE ME GAG
RIPPER AND COX WERE COMIC RELIEF
PREACHER AND DEUCE MADE ME SMILE
AND KAMI IS, AS USUAL, HER OWN BRAND OF CRAZY.
ONE CHARACTER STOPPED MY HEART AND ONE BROKE IT ALL BEFORE I EVEN GOT PAST 47%
RARELY, EVEN IN A LIFETIME OF READING, AM I TEMPTED TO SNEAK PEEK AT THE END OF THE BOOK BUT OH HOW I WANTED TO WITH UNBELOVED. DESPERATELY!!!! HOWEVER, I CONTINUED TO RIDE THIS ROLLERCOASTER RIGHT TO THE END, WHERE I FINISHED,
AN EMOTIONAL WRECK
LYING ON THE FLOOR
GAZING AT THE STARS
THINKING WTF EPILOGUE DID I JUST READ?
UNBELOVED IS MORE THAN JUST THE STORY OF A WOMAN’S JOURNEY THROUGH LIFE WITH ALL THE CHOICES TWISTS, TURNS AND MISTAKES THAT WE MAKE AND NAVIGATE THAT HOPEFULLY PUT US WHERE WE WERE MEANT TO BE. IT’S A CONTINUATION OF A STORY THAT GETS BETTER AND BETTER WITH EACH BOOK, A STORY OF LIFE LOVE AND FAMILY ……………..
SO MS SHEEHAN DELIVERED,
HUGE.
