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.

Excerpt

Underneath the warm
afternoon sun, we intertwined our bodies, twisting arms and legs as the
sailboat rocked back and forth with the gentle currents. Between the sounds of
our hungry groans for one another, the lyrical cries of seabirds overhead
passed in and out of my awareness.A subtle breeze stirred the sail into action, causing it to flap and crack like
an oversized whip. I swirled my fingers in Gabe’s hair, gently twisting the
loose, damp curls. Gabe held me firm, with one hand around my midsection and
the other cupping my breast.

When I thought I’d lost him, the feeling I experienced was about so much more than
the physical. But now, having him here again, holding me, touching me and
consuming me—I realized how connected I’d become to him.

I allowed my fingertips to slide down the back of his head, along his neck and
towards the sun-warmed skin of his muscular upper back. Curling my fingers
under, I dug the tips of my nails into his flesh as I further sought to
reassure myself of his physical presence.

As I did, Gabe grunted and contracted his shoulder blades, drawing them
together in a tight ball of sinew. I moaned in return and relaxed my grip,
moving down further yet again until I reached the hard, round muscularity of
his perfect ass, squeezing it and pulling it towards my hips.

Just then, Gabe separated his mouth from mine. As the satin soft feel of his
lips moved away, I let loose with a disapproving pout.

Gabe chuckled as he looked down at me. “What’s the matter?”

Releasing one of my hands from his backside, I drew it up towards my face and
pointed at my mouth.

“My lips miss you already.”

“Which ones?” Gabe said, with a devious smile on his face.

I returned his grin with one of my own. “You’re terrible, you know that?”

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

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

Title: Frisk Me

Series: New York’s Finest #1

Author: Lauren Layne

Publisher: Forever

Release Date: July 28, 2015

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. Especially since she also happens to be the same knockout that rejected him rather publicly the week before.

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. But the more Ava gets to know Luc and his oddball family, the more she realizes that beneath the swagger and the blue uniform is a complex man who makes her heart beat too fast. 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.”

Excerpt

Releasing my hands, he pulls my dress over my head and runs his hands across my black bra and gives my breasts a quick squeeze. When he reaches my panties, he slides his hand inside and cups my pussy, sliding one, then a second finger inside of me. My eyes close momentarily while I absorb the exquisite feeling of him inside me. It’s been too long.

“That’s my vixen. Wet as fuck and just aching for me to make you scream. My fingers are the only ones that ever belong in your pussy, Cassidy.” Chuckling, he corrects himself, “Well, mine and yours. You know how much I love watching you finger yourself until you come.”

“Zack.” His name falls easily from my mouth as he continues to finger me. There’s no way anyone could ever make me feel as amazing as he does. He’s right—he’s the only one for me, the only one I could ever love. I know that more and more with every passing second we spend here, but I still have a secret to tell him.

One that will change everything.

As he slowly pulls his fingers out of me, he brings them to his mouth one by one, tasting each one slowly, savoring the taste of me on his tongue. It’s as if he’s enjoying his favorite dessert, the eroticism of the moment is heady.

“Fuck, I’ve missed tasting you on my lips, and I’ve really missed running my tongue along your sweet, tight pussy as you come all over my face.”

Suddenly, he flips me around, holding both wrists in a single hand above my head with my face against the wall. His teeth bite down onto my shoulder but he soothes the pain with a swipe of his tongue and with the touch of his kiss against it.

“Perhaps I should punish you for running. What do you think? What should the punishment be for delayed sexual gratification?” Zack’s punishments are filled with pleasure and just the thought of it makes me want him even more. With my history, there’s no spanking, but the exquisite pleasure he brings me while he has me tied up is incredible.

I’m a wife, a mom, and a dog lover. I’m also a taxi, problem fixer, extreme multi-tasker, and my kids’ biggest fan in anything they do. I’m married to my high school sweetheart… how cool is that? Margaritas and sarcasm make me happy. Chocolate makes that happiness grow exponentially. People who make me laugh are my favorite kind of people. I believe Karma is a bitch who slaps back hard and mean people suck. I’m California born and raised, and I love the beach but hate the sand. And, of course, I believe Starbucks makes any day better. I’m the author of The Acceptance Series and Chasing Cassidy with more books soon to come.
