Synopsis
Project Sapphire: The World’s first AI. A top-secret project exposed to a select group of scientists. Lei Heaton, a man desperate to save his daughter, is at the top of the bionics empire. He not only hired the team to repair his daughter’s damaged body, he plans to reanimate her dead mind using the Sapphire AI.
A dangerous man—a killer that is no regular human…
Maxwell Landon—codename: Deimos—is the Adelphi Organization’s top agent. His M.O is simple: Never fail. He’s used to annihilating anyone that gets in his way. But this time, he’s being called to protect and deliver. Deimos is aware that this mission won’t be like any other. Then he lays eyes on the resurrected Ms. Heaton, and instantly he knows:
That is not Magdalena Heaton.
And he will never be the same again.
Control, his most prized possession, is ripped from him with a single glance…
The violent attraction he feels for the girl complicates matters immediately. But what Deimos doesn’t know is that things are about to get much worse. Sapphire isn’t just a completely different person than the dead Ms. Heaton—she’s the AI miracle of the century. An advancement that many would kill to own.
Including himself, no matter how hard he fights against it.
A girl determined to protect her creator. A man determined to protect her…
Despite the fact that she is not Magdalena, Sapphire is bent on taking her place as Mr. Heaton’s daughter in order to keep her creator safe. Deimos knows that he has to honor her wish. But the thing inside him is demanding more. More than a touch. A lot more than a taste. It responds to everything about her…every stuttered breath that lets him know she wants him as much as he wants her.
How does he walk away when he knows that no matter how far he is from her, she’ll always be in danger and he’ll always hunger for her?

Excerpt #1
As well-known as the plant is, it’s only known for its processing of MSW. The perfect cover. No one suspects that a lab is situated three levels below ground.
Or that a body was brought back to life with a computer program down there.
It bothers me. It’s rare that anything bothers me when it comes to a mission. Or life in general. But this one is pricking at me. Curiosity rides me.
Gage leans into the car to speak to his team right as one of the back doors of the facility opens.
Several Japanese men and women in lab coats exit first. They stop, forming a semi-circle around the entrance and talking amongst themselves. Another black haired man in a lab coat, one that is not Japanese, exits last.
I know who he is based on his file. That is Dr. Gordon Allen, the creator of the Sapphire AI.
Brilliant, thirty-four years old, and almost no one knows that he’s recently defied God.
Whatever the hell it is.
He turns back to the door. For a few seconds, all I see is his back. Then, he shifts, enough for me to catch a glimpse of the smaller figure exiting the facility.
My feet start moving the moment I do. The fuck if I know why. I’m supposed to wait by the vehicles along with the rest of my team until they lead the “cargo” to us.
Gage calls out my name in a low tone. He’s clearly as surprised as I fucking am. I don’t do impulsive moves. Don’t do total loss of body control.
I’m doing both right now.
My feet eat up the distance in a matter of seconds. The Japanese doctors tense as I storm closer, but none of them try to stop me. For some damn reason, the only thing that matters at the moment is getting close enough to truly see the resurrected Ms. Heaton.
I am man on a fucking mission.
“When did you do this?” Dr. Allen asks her in a hushed, strained tone. He’s pointing at her long, dark brown hair. The ends were dyed a deep, navy blue. “How did you get the dye?”
“I asked for it.”
Her voice hits me. God, does it hit me. And I’m sure my reaction is due to the fact that I am ninety-nine percent sure who is talking, and my mind is too fixated on the oddness, the novelty of the situation.
I stop right behind Dr. Allen. There’s a pounding rush of adrenaline coursing through me as my pulse fills my ears.
“This… this…” Dr. Allen pauses in his stuttering, the movement of his head telling me he’s looking up and down at her. “You should have worn the other outfit.”
“I… liked this one better,” she says in a small voice that mounts me, takes over, and reawakens a series of emotions that spring to life like rusty gears.
I am not an unfeeling man. Not completely. Fuck no. But the emotions going through me make me feel like I’ve been in an emotional coma the majority of my life.
She’s wearing a black button-down sweater, a navy blue school-girl skirt, black-and-white striped knee-highs, and light-brown commando boots that start right below her knee. She’s hugging a messenger bag to her chest, one with a pink-teddy bear on the front and the phrases Reality is a Prison and Sucker Punch beneath it.
“This is all too different.”
She doesn’t respond to Dr. Allen’s worried statement—she’s staring into my eyes.
Looking right at me.
That rush—that god damn rush hits me again, and I’m almost dizzy. Years of training are the only thing keeping me somewhat steady.Those big, duo-colored, gold-tinted eyes are wide, curious, and they’ve stolen every bit of processing power within my mind.
Her pale skin turns pink and her lips fall open with a shuddering inhale.
I can’t blink. I don’t move.
Am I even fucking breathing?
__________________________________________________________________
Excerpt #2
“I’m awake.”
Her soft whisper makes my hand flex on the door. “I can see that,” is all I say, and I can’t help it. The corners of my lips stretch into a smile at her obvious statement.
Her face flares red. Bright, worrisome red. I can see it even in the darkness of the car.
She stares up at me, blinking, like she’s never seen me before. I feel like a misshapen, recently landed UFO. And when I say misshapen, I’m talking tentacles.
She somehow turns redder—I’m starting to worry about her health—and her head flies around to stare at the front of the car. She nervously tucks her hair behind her ear and fidgets.
The moment her incisor comes done and she bites on the corner of her plump lip, I catch it. I so fucking catch it.
Flares go off inside me, a primal nerve reaction that rushes through every muscle. I’m not tentacle-infested UFO anymore. No. I’m a seventeen-foot tall God of Virility, standing on top of that mountain at the peak of my prime.
Attraction. I saw it. My body recognizes it on all levels. That reaction speeds ups, until my head is spinning from battling back every urge howling to life within me. I jerk back from the shock.
The sound of my head hitting the roof makes her gasp.
“Oh my God. Are you okay?”
The tone of her voice. It does things to me, man. “I’m fine.”
She shot across the seat and is now in front of me, staring up at me with eyes full of worry. For me?
“Are you sure?” Her hair moves over her shoulders as she tilts her head, accessing me.
“Yeah. I’m fine. I—” Have no idea what else I’m going to say. All I can do is take her in, getting sucked further into something I don’t understand. At all.
Why is this happening? It can’t be about the sex. As hot as this little thing is, I don’t understand why my body is acting so… so… deprived.
It’s not like I’m not getting any. I had sex yesterday morning, in fact.
The reminder that there is someone else should dampen things a bit. Right?
I already told you, I don’t do relationships. It’s only sex, and I made that very clear from day one. Noemi knows the deal. But we work together. She’s part of the Organization. Starting something else without ending it first wouldn’t just be fucked up. It’d be straight up inconsiderate. Considering we work together, that wouldn’t be a smart move.
You can’t start anything anyway, you fucking genius. Cargo. Mission. Deliver.Pull out your phone and Google that shit if you forgot.
“Are we leaving? We have fifteen minutes before departure. And we can’t take the direct route to the plane, as planned. They closed that route.”
I fly out of that car, this time managing to spare my head any damage. “What do you mean they closed the direct route? Why?”
“Don’t know. No time to find out. We gotta go.” Gage stares pointedly at the car.
Alright, alright. I get it. Stop delaying the mission with your bullshit, Deimos.
When I lean into the car, the girl’s in the process of putting her things back in her bag. She slips on a dark hoodie next and lifts the hood. A black pair of Ray-Ban glasses is donned last.
I have the same exact pair.
I see her hesitate, and it’s all the excuse I need to lean back in.
Frigging hell, I’m magnetized.
“Is everything alright?” I don’t like the tone of my voice. It’s suspiciously close to sounding worried. Too intimate.
The girl shakes her head and stares up at me. “Yeah. I’m just a little out of it.”
Understandable. She’d died. Then she was brought back to life after countless surgeries. She’s bionic now. Part human, part machine.
I know from experience how much of a mind-fuck it is to wake up to that.
So why does her behavior make me suspicious? There’s this niggling doubt whispering like a devil in my ear.
I’m an idiot. I should’ve spent the time she was sleeping looking into that USB. Instead, I spent the time staring at her.
I’m aware of how stupid all of this is. These thoughts are going through my head and I hear them loud and clear. I am busy berating myself for being the most monolithic fool in history.
And I still hold out my hand to help her out.
She doesn’t grab it and that hesitation is back. I’m about to pull it back and move out of her way when she finally reaches for it.
Thick leather separates her flesh from mine, but the moment of contact reverberates everywhere.
Every-fucking-where.
I forget about the mission, about everyone waiting for us outside, about Noemi, and the million other reasons why I need to stay away.
I’m not the only one that feels it. Her glasses slipped down the bridge of her nose, so I see her eyes. I watch as those long lashes rise, and her stare moves from my hand to my face.
Fucked. So fucked. This thing is alive, palpitating back and forth between us.
I can’t have her.
In a single, blazing instant my body decides otherwise. It doesn’t care about anything. As a last ditch resort, I remind myself that the girl is almost a decade younger than me. Surely, if nothing else matters, at least that should.
__________________________________________________________________
Excerpt #3
“Hold on, I have some antibacterial wipes in my bag.”
I stop her with a hand around her wrist. She tsksand moves my hand off her, making sure I lay it flat on my abs, next to my other one. “Don’t bend your fingers.”
I ignore her soft scolding. As soon as she heals me, and the adrenaline starts to ebb, there will be a crash. Whether it’s a bad one, or an epically fucked-up one that lands her in a hospital, all depends on me calming her down a little now.
So I grab her wrist again, ignore her protest once more, and bring her closer.
She stumbles off her knees, catching herself by slapping a hand on my chest. Not quite landing on me, but so damned close. Her hair fans over her shoulders and over my chest, the dark blue ends caressing my neck. Her heat surrounds me. It’s like being drugged. My lids grow heavier and my internal scan beeps, alerting me to my rising heartbeat.
This was not what I had in mind when I pulled her closer.
Sapphire moves her hair away from her face. The scent of it reaches me, and I inhale, hungry to take more of it in. Remaining half-bent over me, she looks up at me from under her lashes.
My eyes drop to that fleshy bottom lip of hers. I want it in my mouth so I can suck on it.
I shouldn’t even be able to want such things right now.
Sapphire’s breath leaves her on a shaky exhale. She blinks, her lashes hiding those eyes from me for a moment. When she opens them, I see them land on my mouth. They’re darker, hungry, reflecting every damn thing I want.
I could get lost in this. I could lay here, and let her do whatever she wants to me.
My cock thickens in my jeans, throbbing against the material at the thought of being at her mercy like that.
She’s hyper-feeling and needs an outlet. She must be so fucking overwhelmed, and I know from experience that sex is a great way to burn it off.
But it can’t happen. I refuse to take advantage of her like that. What if I’m misreading the whole thing because of what I want? “Sapphire…”
She leans closer, her chest brushing mine. Her eyes are fixated on my lips. I react to that stare, my entire body revving up like it hadn’t been close to shutting down.
Integration at 30%. Cellular regrowth at 25%. Platelet reproduction at 48%.
My BCI’s way of saying that I should not be this excited right now.
I have no choice. No control over it. Sapphire is too close now, her breath teasing my lips.
She wants a taste.
I want my fucking tongue deep in her mouth. Want to trace it across the plump curve of her lips. Want to do things to her thatshe’s too innocent to deal with.
“Sapphire, we shouldn’t—uhn,” I break off on a moan at the feel of her lips, a soft caress that was more a tease than an actual kiss.
Sapphire echoes my moan with a small one of her own.
She’s shaking; I’m trembling beneath her, the muscles in my chest bulging as I struggle to hold myself back. My hands clench and unclench in the air at her sides, the thin, newly sealed skin stretching uncomfortably.
Her lips are shaking above my mouth, echoing the movements of her body. Her lashes lay on her cheeks; the space between her brow is furrowed.
It’s unquenchable, this God damned hunger. That tease of her lips has proved it. I’m screaming at myself to stop this even as my blood roars in my veins, the pressure so intense that it sets off my internal scan again.
I need to regain some control first then I’ll focus on the rest. Right now, the urge to flip her over and give her the relief she needs is fighting to take over.
She’d be so hungry underneath me, so responsive. I can tell.
Sapphire lets her eyes open halfway, enough to pierce me with her gold-and-green irises. “Deimos.”
I grind my teeth, but there’s no ignoring how she said my name. No denying what’s in her tone and the next urge that blossoms, the one demanding that I make her say my real name.
Why do I care? I am Deimos. I’ve never needed anyone to acknowledge me as the man I was born as. It usually annoys me when people say my real name.
It wouldn’t annoy me with her. For some reason, I have this insane idea that hearing her say my real name would make me come so freaking hard.
You’re fucking crazy, and she’s going to regret this once she’s calmer.
So true, and the last thing I want to do is have her look at me with regret because I took something I had no business taking.
I cup the sides of her face in my trembling hands. Her lips part, and she shifts, her chest pressing against my own. Oh, God, her breasts on me. The way she feels sets my imagination racing.
Why the hell am I so attracted to this girl?
She blinks, eyes tracing the lines of my face, and her pupils dilate again. There’s a sense of wonder in her stare, a reminder that this is all new to her, and the angles of her face are pure perfection.
Made for sex, yet so freaking innocent.
My sick, starving cock pulsates, the moist head sliding across my jeans.
Pre-cum. Already. Fuck.
She’s made to attract any male, and on top of that, there’s no denying the lure of being her first. Not sure if Magdalena ever had sex, but Sapphire hasn’t. That much I can tell. And one day, some lucky sonofabitch is going to get to have her.
I want to be that sonofabitch. Real, real bad. Thinking about anybody having that honor makes my inner killer itch for death. The most bloody, messy, violent kind of death possible.
“Deimos.” Her tongue peeks out as she wets her bottom lip. “How are you feeling?”
Her question catches me by surprise, and a small laugh leaves me. She smiles down at me, and I just want to fist her hair and bring that mouth back to mine. “Not dying, if that’s what you’re asking.” Liar, my BCI seems to say as another beep sounds out inside me.
“Okay. That’s good.” She stares into my eyes, a stare so direct that I’m awkward before her. “Your eyes. They’re so blue.” Her eyes flicker back toward my lips. My turn to wet them, and the way her eyes get darker when I do thrills me. It shouldn’t, but it does. “Any chance you won’t mind me doing that again?”
She’s already heading for my mouth, so close now that if I lick my lips, I’ll taste her.
God, how can I be this hard right now? Seriously, how?
“Sapphire, we shouldn’t—” Once again, I’m stopped by her lips, and there’s no tease about it this time. She lays them fully over mine, and lust shoots right through my common sense. I growl under my breath as she shivers on top of me. She moves her lips a tiny bit and the wet sensation of them on my own snaps the last of my rationale.
Moaning, I slide one hand down the graceful curve of her back, stopping right before her ass. My other hand is still cupping her face, and I hold her still, tilting my head. Hot, panting breaths leave her as I rub our lips together, mixing with my own.
My tongue flicks out and tastes her parted lips.
Sapphire whimpers on top of me, her hands falling to the pillow next to my head and fisting the material.
I lose it.

It was those fans who encouraged her to step beyond the fan fiction realm and try her talent in the publishing world.

Excerpt
“I came here, baby, to tell you I love you. I love you. I love you. I love you.”
He inhaled sharply, but said in an even voice. “And I can’t lose you before the greatest fight I will ever wage.”got nothing left to give you, J. Nothing.”
We lay on the floor, two damaged bodies searching for the light. J pulled my head into his hands, bringing us face to face. I could feel his breath against my lips. “You were a comet that bust into my life out of no where” he whispered. “I begged for you. On my knees in the dirt, I groveled to the sky to bring me light. And there you were, at Eight Oh Eight, staring up at me, even though I knew you couldn’t see through the window. I saw you, though. Elle, I saw you long before you saw me.”
“Please, baby. Please. I need you. I love you. I can’t go into this without knowing you’ll be here when I return.”
“I’m not sure what to say. I want to tell you I’ll wait. That I’ll be here, waiting like a good girl for you. I want to because I love you. Fuck, I love you.” I turned, finally ready to look him in the eye. “I don’t know where I’ll be. I can’t tell you that. But I can tell you that I love the fuck out of you, and no matter how much I try to stop,” I paused. Fuck this mother fucker. Fuck! God, why was he doing this to me? Angry tears, sad tears, hopeless tears, tears filled with longing fell from my eyes. J caught then with his thumb, but there were too many. They ran over his fingers like a waterfall.
I’m fighting this war for you. To be with you.”

Spotlight Blog Tour ~ VEILED INNOCENCE by ELLA FRANK
Veiled Innocence by Ella Frank
BLURB:
Tick, tick, tock.
Time.
That’s all I have now.
A small room, a photograph, and time.
They want me to trust them and confess my sins.
They told me they wouldn’t judge me—they lied.
I thought we could convince the world that this wasn’t a crime.
We were wrong.
Time doesn’t stand still.
The clock keeps ticking, the world is unconvinced, and now…
Now he is gone.
♦ ♦ ♥ ♦ ♦
Excerpt One – Mr. McKendrick’s POV
Copyright © 2014 by Ella Frank
I couldn’t believe she’d followed me home.
I was sitting in my truck with my hands wrapped around the steering wheel. I could see her in the rearview mirror, and my heart pounded in my chest as I thought about my next move.
I’d purposely waited to leave until she had gone home. It had been quite the wait, but I couldn’t afford to put myself within close quarters of this girl.
She was undisciplined and clearly had never heard the word no in her life. She wanted things she couldn’t have, and I needed to make that much clearer than in our previous conversations.
I could see the hood of her car peeking out from behind one of the neighbor’s hedges and wished I could forget she was there, but this time she had crossed too many lines. She needed to know that this behavior could not continue.
Pushing open my truck door, I climbed out and locked it before walking down the drive. I strode purposefully along the sidewalk and tried to think of exactly what I was going to say to this student of mine.
Please stop following me? Please stop hitting on me?
They both sounded ridiculous, and I realized that at this point the word please needed to be thrown right out the fucking window.
Polite wasn’t going to work with Addison Lancaster. It was time to get serious, maybe even mean, because this girl had the ability to destroy me.
♥ ♥ ♦ ♥ ♥
Excerpt Two – Addison Lancaster’s POV
Copyright © 2014 by Ella Frank
I’d waited until he got out of the truck before approaching. I didn’t want his escape to be as easy as driving away. Standing in the small stone alcove of the gate, I knew it would be best to wait until he stepped away from the lit area. That way, any cars driving by wouldn’t be able to see us.
I wanted no excuses, no reason for him to worry, but I could see my silence had caused just as much concern as my presence would have. He turned to me, and I finally took a moment to really look at him the way I wanted to.
His hair was still pulled back but several pieces had now escaped and been pushed behind his ears. The darker stubble lining his square jaw made my fingers tingle with the need to touch.
“Oh, thank God,” he whispered, sounding relieved.
I thought he would move away from me once he knew I was safe. Instead, he reached out and squeezed my shoulder.
“I thought something had happened to you.”
I don’t think he realized that he was slowly massaging me.
“Jesus, don’t do that again. Okay?”
Taking another step closer, I agreed quietly. “Okay.”
He licked his lips and removed his hands, and I saw in his eyes the minute he decided it was time for some distance.
“What are you doing out here?” he asked. His casual black sports jacket shifted with the breeze, and all of a sudden I couldn’t remember why I was there. All I knew was that I wanted to touch him.
“Addison?”
His voice had the ability to make all of the noise inside my head cease.
Blinking up at him, I finally answered, “Yes?”
“What are you doing out here?”
Moving in so my jacket brushed the front of his, I finally reached to touch him, but he grabbed my wrist, holding it away.
“No,” he told me, and his voice was so stern I probably should have heeded the warning…but I didn’t.
“No?”
His head bent down, and when his face was a hairsbreadth from my own, he repeated, “No. Tell me why you’re here.”
His breath was warm as it ghosted over my lips, and I couldn’t help but part my own, hoping by some miracle I could taste him on my tongue.
“Why are you here? That’s a better question, don’t you think?”
“I know better than this.”
I reached up needing to touch him, but he took that hand too, holding them both prisoner. Being held in place with nowhere to go elicited a hunger in me that I didn’t yet understand. “Know better than what?”
“Than to be here.”
“Then go,” I offered.
That was all it took. He spun me around, backed me up against the truck, and had my arms pinned by my head so fast I lost my breath. Leaning in beside me until his mouth was by my ear, he rasped in an unsteady voice, “I can’t.”
I turned my head to face him and saw all of his turmoil, and finally, the full impact of his desire. “Then don’t.”
“You’re going to be the death of me.”
Life is full of ironies, because with him, I’d never felt more alive.

MY REVIEW:
It’s taken me a bit of time to work out what I wanted to say about Veiled Innocence.….
I’ve been reading Ella’s books since I picked up Exquisite and have thoroughly enjoyed everything I’ve read!! I was pretty sure from the teasers we were getting that I was gonna like Veiled Innocence but in truth, saying I ‘liked it’ is an understatement………
Ella took my heart, twisted it in knots then ripped it out and bloody broke it…. but I’d go through it all again – in a ‘tick, tick, tock’ heartbeat!!
I loved VI – throughout the telling of the story I was all over the place in my thinking as to what had/was happening..
Ella wove a tale that kept us guessing, itching to find out more – but scared in case it wasn’t what we wanted it to be.
I ran through a gamut of emotions – some of the support characters had me fizzing and mad as hell, while one in particular, Doc, had me intrigued from the get go.
I love a dual POV – enjoy the insight into the thoughts of both characters and what they are feeling/going through.
~ Addison – for a young woman she was, at times, was older than her years while at others everything seemed like a game to her. She was confident, demanding and determined as hell, – when she set out for something she pretty much got it, regardless of the lengths she had to go to… but as the story continued, we found that Addy was a complex character – shaped by events from her past, and her parents attitude towards her, meaning she had a need for control that was ever present, until Grayson came into her life.
~ Mr McK – I really liked his character. His life wasn’t turning out the way he thought it would – he was stuck back home because of his sick father, teaching at a high school when he’d rather have be doing things that made him feel alive and then he was hit by the storm that was Addison – poor bugger really didn’t stand a chance…
Ella Frank‘s writing is excellent. The change of time frame and character between chapters kept the book flowing.
The last few chapters had me reading late into the night – I needed to find out what the hell was going on!
I give Veiled Innocence 5*s and would, without doubt, recommend it – it really is worth a read!

Blog Tour ~ TANGLED INNOCENCE (Dante’s Circle #4) by CARRIE ANN RYAN
Tangled Innocence
Dante’s Circle Series, Book 4
by Carrie Ann Ryan
Release Date: April 15, 2014
http://carrieannryan.com/tangled-innocence/
BLURB:
Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes?
As one of the seven lightning struck women, Nadie Morgan has known for a while now that her fate would be forever changed…and revolve around a certain dragon. From the first time Dante Bell saw Nadie, he knew she was the one for him. There’s just one problem–there’s another in his life he’s waiting on as well.
When Jace Goodwin, a bear shifter and Mediator, finally comes back to the human realm after years away under circumstances out of his control, his first stop is to Dante’s Circle where he not only finds his dragon, but the woman they both have been waiting for.
Once secrets are told and the sparks fly, Nadie’s new life becomes something she never thought possible. However there’s another realm at play and Jace and Nadie’s dragon will have to fight harder than he’s ever fought before to keep the life he’s waited eons for.
Warning: Contains one not-so-innocent human, a bear known for his bear-hugs, a tattooed and pierced dragon with a fiery temper, and a connection so explosive, you’ll be fanning yourself from page one.
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.

MY REVIEW
I’ve been looking forward to Dante’s book since we first met him….. I love dragons and a dragon shifter is a particular favourite of mine!!!
One of the things that really draws me to this series is the uncertainty around what each of the ‘lightening struck’ will become… Nadie is no exception ~ and her new found paranormal species is very interesting!!
We’ve witnessed Nadie’s mixed feeling and emotions towards Dante in the last few books and our favourite dragon hasn’t made any moves to return her affections – finally in this book we see things moving forward for them – but Nadie, Jace and Dante have their work cut out to be together though I have to say, boy, it was worth it!
Tangled Innocence is action packed, filled with suspense, treachery and deceit… along with a lot of emotion and red hot passion as you’d expect when you have a bear and a dragon shifter and the one to complete them that they have been waiting years for!
If you haven’t started this series I would thoroughly recommend you give it a try – and if you have already read the previous books I’m sure you won’t be disappointed with this latest installment from Carrie Ann!!!
**One scene with the female dragons had me in fits of laughter…. wonder if you can guess what I found so funny?!?!

BODYGUARD by Jennifer Ashley
Elizabeth Chapman is saved from an armed attacker by a Kodiak bear who shifts into a tight-bodied, naked human male. Ronan takes Elizabeth to Shiftertown, becoming her 24/7 bodyguard. The mateless Ronan has adopted a houseful of orphaned Shifters–having grown up in foster care, Elizabeth is touched by his protectiveness.

When one incredible night of fulfilling their fantasies leads to more than just keeping a promise and saving a friend, will they be able to overcome the barriers that stand between them and forever?
DARKNESS FALLS by Erin Kellison
Agent Malcolm Rook is hunting for people with the rarest of talents—the ability to master dreams. He finds the undeniably gifted Jordan Lane, but she’s wary of mysterious Rook and resists his pursuit as long as she can. Yet the dreamwaters they enter are too exhilarating to resist, and attraction soon ignites electric passions. Delving too deep stirs a nightmare, one they must defeat, or be forever lost to darkness.

After he’s hurt on a mission and nursed back to health by a beautiful yet mysterious woman, this dangerously sexy bad-boy finds himself falling for Olivia…even as he struggles to stay away.

EXCERPT FROM THE MATING HEAT BY BONNIE VANAK
Fragrant pine and delicious warmth surrounded her. For the first time since Aiden had spirited her away that awful night, she felt happy.
The scent of pine and fresh rain grew stronger. Kara struggled to keep the peaceful feeling intact, knowing it would evaporate like morning mist.
“Wake up sweeting.”
The deep voice rubbed across her skin like the brush of dark velvet. Forcing her eyes open, she struggled to remember her surroundings.
Ryder perched on the bed’s edge, regarding her intently. He looked sexy and dangerous. A shaft of sunlight touched his tousled brown hair, streaking it with chestnut. Amusement danced in his blue eyes.
“The sleeping Lupine awakens for her first kiss. But alas, the first kiss already took place and the handsome prince was punished for his daring,” he murmured.
She went to rub her eyes, and realized her wrists were still handcuffed. “How long was I out?”
“Thirty minutes. I wanted to remove the handcuffs, but you looked too peaceful. I didn’t want to wake you.” His mouth quirked. “You look so lovely when you’re tied up. Very delicious and helpless. I’d like to eat you up.”
Intensely sexual, his body was hard and tempting. Made a woman want to hold him close as he devoured her mouth. She fisted her hands, fighting the instinctual Lupine urge to surrender to sensual need.
“You’re too thin,” he observed, boldly placing a hand on her belly. “I need to fatten you up before I devour you.”
Kara gave a bitter laugh. “Too thin? That’s a first. I’m large as an ocean liner.”
His gaze grew intent. “Lupine females were made to be lush and curvy. Your body is ripe for receiving mine, and for bearing young. There is nothing wrong with you that rest and a good hearty meal won’t cure.”
“Give me a steak and we’ll call it even. I’ll skip dessert. Maybe I can have it later, at my brother’s house when you return me.”
His voice dropped to a dark whisper. “I’m not returning you, sweeting. But you can be dessert. I have a tube of edible oil I plan to use later, when I massage you all over. And then lick it all off.”
Her lower belly tightened as she imagined Ryder smoothing hot oil over her body, lingering and slow, a sensual caress as he rubbed and stroked…
Blinking away the erotic image, she shook her head. “You underestimate me.”
“And you underestimate my determination. I want you, Kara. You will be my mate.”
Her mouth went dry. “Is that a proposal? Hardly romantic.”
Ryder’s smile widened. “I can be very romantic. But you know I’ve always been direct when it comes to speaking my mind.”
Kara held up her wrists. “Still planning to keep me prisoner? Maybe you’ll toss me into one of Alastair’s old cells.”
“I closed that section of the basement. First act I did upon taking over.”
He came closer, so close he threatened to drown her in his rich scent. His big body was aggressive and filled with purpose. But the hand he placed on her scarred cheek was gentle.
Ryder ran a thumb across the ruined flesh of her cheek. His touch felt sensual and drugging. She wondered what the smooth stroke of his tongue would feel like between her legs…
“We will be lovers,” he said softly. “You will become my mate, Kara. You cannot fight what is between us any more than I can. You know you were meant for me.”
Slow, seductive images, hands stroking over her shuddering, wet flesh, filled with erotic promise…
Stop it!
Kara spoke in a firm tone. “Take off the handcuffs.”
“We could leave them on. Just for fun.”
“Take them off.”
“Come now, Kara. Don’t you want to play with the wolf?”

SPOTLIGHT TOUR & GIVEAWAY ~ Beyond Jealousy by KIT ROCHA
BEYOND JEALOUSY ~ KIT ROCHA
She’s been looking for the perfect man. She found two.
When Rachel Riley sacrificed a life in Eden to protect the O’Kanes, she earned her place in the powerful Sector Four gang. But the former crime princess is tired of being everyone’s sweet little sister . It’s time for her to get wild, to embrace her fantasies as only an O’Kane can—with a delicious exiled soldier and the gang’s wickedly sinful tattoo artist.
A saint…
Lorenzo Cruz is a warrior, taught by his commanding officers in Eden that involvement equals distraction. Emotion is a liability, and desire a sin. In Sector Four, he finds decadence, shameless sex—and his own dark urges. No battle strategy prepared him for how Rachel makes his heart race…or the way his rival for her affections sets his blood on fire.
…and a sinner.
Ace Santana has a dirty reputation and a mind to match, especially where his new lovers are concerned. He’s eager to help Cruz embrace his dominant side, and to explore the lines between pleasure and pain with Rachel. But corrupting them quickly becomes an obsession, a need he can’t deny—and a love he never imagined.
Three hearts on the line means a hundred ways their ménage a trois could go wrong. After all, even O’Kanes do forever two-by-two. One of them could be the missing piece that makes them all whole…or a temporary diversion destined for a broken heart.
Kit Rocha is actually two people—Bree & Donna, best friends who are living the dream. They get paid to work in their pajamas, talk on the phone, and write down all the stories they used to make up in their heads.
Beyond Shame was their first dystopian erotic romance. They also write paranormal romance as Moira Rogers. You can find them on the web at the following places:

BEYOND SHAME (book 1)
All Noelle Cunningham has ever wanted is a life beyond–beyond the walls of Eden, where only the righteous are allowed to remain, and beyond her stiflingly restrictive existence as a councilman’s daughter. But only ruins lie outside the City, remnants of a society destroyed by solar storms decades earlier.
The sectors surrounding Eden house the corrupt, the criminal–men like Jasper McCray, bootlegger and cage fighter. Jas clawed his way up from nothing to stand at the right hand of Sector Four’s ruthless leader, and he’ll defend the O’Kane gang with his life. But no fight ever prepared him for the exiled City girl who falls at his feet.
Her innocence is undeniable, but so is their intense sexual attraction, and soon they’re crossing every boundary Noelle barely knew she had. But if she wants to belong to Jas, first she’ll have to open herself to a world where passion is power, and freedom is found in submission.

BEYOND CONTROL (book 2)
She refuses to be owned.
Alexa Parrino escaped a life of servitude and survived danger on the streets to become one of the
most trusted, influential people in Sector Four, where the O’Kanes rule with a hedonistic but iron fist. Lex has been at the top for years, and there’s almost nothing she wouldn’t do for the gang…and for
its leader. Lie, steal, kill—but she bows to no one, not even Dallas O’Kane.
He’ll settle for nothing less.
Dallas fought long and hard to carve a slice of order out of the chaos of the sectors. Dangers both
large and small threaten his people, but it’s nothing he can’t handle. His liquor business is flourishing, and new opportunities fuel his ambition. Lex could help him expand his empire, something he wants almost as much as he wants her. And no one says no to the king of Sector Four.
Falling into bed is easy, but their sexual games are anything but casual. Attraction quickly turns to obsession, and their careful dance of heady dominance and sweet submission uncovers a need so deep, so strong, it could crush them both.

BEYOND PAIN (book 3)
A woman with no future…
Live fast, die young–anything else is a fantasy for Six. She’s endured the worst the sectors had to throw at her, but falling in with Dallas O’Kane’s Sector Four gang lands her in a whole new world of danger. They’re completely open about everything, including their sexuality–but she hasn’t survived this long by making herself vulnerable. Especially not to men as dominant as Brendan Donnelly.
A man without a past…
Bren is a killer, trained in Eden and thrown to the sectors. His one outlet is pain, in the cage and in the bedroom, and emotion is a luxury he can’t afford–until he meets Six. Protecting her soothes him, but it isn’t enough. Her hunger for touch sparks a journey of erotic discovery where anything goes–voyeurism, flogging, rough sex. He has only one rule: he won’t share her.
In Bren’s arms, Six is finally free to let go. But his obsession with the man who made him a monster could destroy the fragile connection they’ve forged, and cost him the one thing that makes him feel human–her love.

BEYOND TEMPTATION (novella 3.5)
Part of “MARKED”
New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Lauren Dane takes you into a brand new world in “ALL THAT REMAINS”. Summer Killian falls fast and hard when Charlie arrives in Paradise Village. But the heat turns all the way up when she learns Charlie is also with Hatch – the man she loved three years before. While she’s not sure she’s cut out for a triad, neither man is going to give her up.
Take a “ROCKY RIDE” with New York Times and USA Today Bestselling author Vivian Arend as she leads you back to the Six Pack Ranch. Anna Coleman might be the law around Rocky Mountain House, but bad boy Mitch Thompson knows that under the stiff RCMP uniform is a woman with a passion for speed and pleasure that matches his own, and he’s not giving up until she’s his.
Kit Rocha returns to Sector Four in “BEYOND TEMPTATION”. A promise to a dying friend backfires when Noah Lennox finds that the girl he was supposed to rescue is all grown up–and wearing O’Kane ink. He wants to protect her from the secrets of their past, but she wants him. And an O’Kane woman always gets what she wants.

♦️♥️♦️ BEYOND JEALOUSY GIVEAWAY ♦️♥️♦️
A novella set during the background of Beyond Jealousy. We’re still being mysterious about the exciting project this will be a part of, but Beyond Solitude features a grumpy, broken O’Kane hero and a heroine who’s very good at getting under his skin and making him feel again.
Beyond Addiction ~ He was the one habit she could never kick.
Tracy ~ Book Loving Pixie:
I’ve been a huge fan of the BEYOND books since I first picked up Beyond Shame…
As we have travelled through the series the stories have gotten better & better (not to mention HOTTER and HOTTER!)
The anticipation for Beyond Jealousy has been building since I read the teaser at the end of Beyond Pain – and I am ecstatic to report that the story more than lived up to the expectation I had of it!!!!
We’ve all expected Ace, Rachel and Cruz’s story to be HOTTER THAN HELL and jeez, Bree & Donna have outdone themselves AGAIN!!!
Just when you think they can’t possibly top the last book in the series they work their writing mojo magic and pull it out of the bag!!!!
I’m a Jasper babe ~ from the start that hasn’t changed ~ but I’ve always loved ACE… That took a HUGE step forward while reading Jealousy.
Who knew that the sexy, dirty minded, filthy mouthed tattooist could grab my heart as much as he did!!
The guy has got more layers than I’d have thought possible and there is SO much more to him that I ever considered there could be!
RACHEL ~ She’s been getting her sexy on more and more since that mind-blowing scene in Beyond Pain. Our gal is now working the stage at the Broken Circle and is a big favourite with the regulars!!
Even though Eden born, Rae is an O’Kane through and through – she’s strong & feisty and has been nursing a love for our sexy bad boy for a long time, that has, until now never been acknowledged or returned.
CRUZ ~ when we last met him he was setting out on a voyage of discovery with Ace…. Has he been able to leave Eden behind and fully embrace the O’Kane way of life and loving or has all he’s been taught stayed with him?!?! Well….. now’s your chance to find out!!!
Since she broke up with Cruz, Rach has been watching Ace and her Eden ‘bad boy’ get close and has listened to all the dirty whispers & stories about their joint antics!!!
“I know what sorts of games you and Cruz are playing these days.
How come you two haven’t knocked on my door yet? Think I can’t handle it?”“And what do you think you know?” Ace demanded, his eyes snapping open. His hands hit the wall on either side of her head, caging her. Trapping her. “Don’t skimp on the filthy details. You know how I love dirty talk, angel.”
“You’ve been sharing your women.” She leaned closer, her mouth next to his ear. “Is it about pleasure or conquest, Ace? And do you take turns, or fuck them at the same time?”
The arms on either side of her tensed, muscles flexing under ink. “We fuck them at the same time, because that’s what they want. What he wants. Is that what you really need to know? What your city boy’s doing now? How filthy he’s gotten? Because you sure as fuck don’t seem to give a shit about me”
It looked like she was never gonna get what she really wanted, so as you can imagine, I was beyond delighted when it finally seemed like they might now get it together!
BUT….. would that an O’Kane story be that straightforward!!!!
OMG… those KR girls know how to write a a ball-grabber of a tale…
They also know how to take your heart, rip it out, mess with it – more than just a little – and give you it back all fecked up….. Just when you think that you’ve finally managed to nurse your poor, bloody and broken centre back to a good place… BOOM, they go and knock you for six AGAIN!!!! Word of warning – stock up on tissues, ‘cos you’re gonna need them!!!!
We were treated to a load of passion & heat and a ton of hot, down and dirty dirty sex as you’d would expect (YAY!!) as well as loads of action….. Jealousy is full of twists & turns, shocks & surprises, double dealing, mystery, drama and fighting…. Gotta love the way Dallas and his ‘family’ get their fight on!!!
The story arc set in motion earlier in the series is heating up at a pace and the gods only know where things are gonna go next – but, as ever I CANNOT WAIT to find out!
We meet a few new faces – friend (family) and foe. We get back in touch with our favourite O’Kanes and of course have to deal with some of the less than pleasant low life buggers from the other sectors that we’ve already had the misfortune of being introduced to!!!
I’m not gonna tell you anything else – not spoilers or tidbits – this one is best left for you to discover 1st hand!!!!
I’ll leave you by saying that I absolutely LOVED Beyond Jealousy… I got to the end and was as happy as an O’Kane at an orgy and then the girls walloped us with an absolute stoatir of an ending!!! Well, feck me, I DID NOT see that coming!!!!…..
……and so the anticipation for BEYOND ADDICTION begins!!!! Thank the gods we’ve got Beyond Solitude to tide us over in the meantime!!!!!
I’d give Beyond Jealousy 10 stars if I could….

Rebecca ~ Guest Review
When a friend recommended the Kit Rocha books and said I would like them she was wrong, I ADORE them. I enjoyed Shame, loved Control, adored Pain and thought nothing would top that one for me . Well Jealousy has tied in first position!!!!!!
Ace and his fine ass, his dirty dirty mouth and mind ~ the sinner captured me from start to finish .
The surprise of the book was Cruz, I liked him yet expected to not care one way or the other. I thought he would be the third wheel to Ace and Rachel but he’s as integral to the triangle as the other two – the rock for them to stand on. There was a sweetness to the relationship between the three of them that was unexpected, it tugged at the heartstrings and tore them apart at points. It’s hot as fuck, panty tsunami time as all the Beyond books are and never disappoint.
The ending left me with my jaw on the floor, totally did not see that coming and as Jealousy was one of my most anticipated reads for Spring ‘Addiction‘ is now one of my most anticipated for the later part of this year!!!
This series just keeps getting better and better with every outing, the world & characters they have created draws you in and you never want to leave……………
