emthebookbabe June 20, 2014June 20, 2014 My 2014 Blogs No Comments

SYNOPSIS:

In the third sexy installment of Shelly Bell’s serialized erotic thriller, Kate will finally entrust Jaxon with her secrets, but the lies he’s told have the power to break her heart … and threaten her life.Motivated by honor …After a gruesome discovery, the men in Kate’s life unite to protect her from imminent danger, but Jaxon becomes consumed by the fierce desire to possess her fully. Kate trusts him enough to surrender to him in the bedroom, but she still fears the vulnerability of complete and utter submission.Enslaved by pleasure …

Jaxon continues to push Kate’s sexual and emotional boundaries, penetrating her defences and crumbling the walls she has built around the painful memories of her past. But just as she opens her heart and accepts a future with Jaxon, the devastating truth about Alyssa’s death shatters the tenuous bond they share, testing their relationship and propelling her directly into the path of a desperate murderer.

MY REVIEW:

5 suspenseful and gripping stars!

Once again another five stars from me. I have been gripped by this series and this instalment is once again revealing yet suspenseful enough to keep me totally fascinated as to how this I all going to end.

I am now again thrown into a frenzy as to who may or may not be involve in the murder of Alyssa and also the incidence of mistaken identity at the end of the last instalment!

In this part we find out who dunnit and yep I WAS SOOO wrong and yet there are still so many unanswered questions to this and once again a holy mother of a cliffhanger! And Jaxon is worth reading for too! The intimate scenes are getting hotter and Kate’s adventures into the world of BDSM getting deeper too!

The main thread that is keeping me in suspense is Kate’s relationship with both Nick and Jaxon although we also find out a lot more about her past too. I am absolutely loving being in the thick of this series and seriously cannot wait to find out how this all ends! Roll on part four!!!!

TEN REASONS YOU’D WANT JAXON DEVEROUX

FROM WHITE COLLARED AS YOUR BOYFRIEND

He’s polite, chivalrous, and protective…
Except during sex when he becomes forceful, demanding, and one hell of a dirty talker.
He likes grape Popsicles. J
For a rich guy, he knows how to throw a mean punch.
He didn’t inherit his money or become a billionaire by thirty. In fact, he’s only a mere
millionaire. Besides, he made his money the honest way—he married into it.
He’s the perfect combination of kinky and imaginative.
He looks good wet.
He knows how to use his hands.
He has excellent taste in accessories.
As evidenced by his previous marriage, he’s not afraid of commitment. Let’s just hope his second wife doesn’t wind up like his first.

Red & Wolfe: Part One by Ella James

Contemporary Erotica 35 Pages

When Sarah “Red” Ryder loses her job as an art critic for a Boston newspaper, she’s brokenhearted. Worse than that? She’s broke. Her boyfriend recently left her – for a tatted-up hottie with a dick – so she’s stuck paying her hefty apartment rent alone. After two months unemployed, there’s no money left. With no immediate family to turn to, Red reaches out to her estranged grandmother, a reclusive writer living on an island off the coast of Charleston. Several days later, Red receives $30,000 and an invitation to visit.

James Wolfe is not Red’s grandmother. But he beckons her. Red has the ability to give him something he needs. He won’t take “no” for an answer, and he doesn’t mind screwing her over. He lost his conscience six years ago, when he was tried for the murder of his wife. Since then, life is about him – and the paintings he does under the mysterious pseudonym “W.”

Wolfe needs the island to keep painting. To live his life away from prying eyes. To keep up the anonymity of “W.”

Once he sees Red, he finds that he needs her, too. And Wolfe will have her. Any way he can.

TOUR STOP and REVIEW Overwhelmed by You by Nashoda Rose

emthebookbabe June 20, 2014June 20, 2014 My 2014 Blogs No Comments

Love is ugly and secrets will destroy you.

KAT

I don’t beg.
I don’t cry.
And I don’t give second chances.

Ream, the lead guitarist from the band Tear Asunder, deserves a gold medal for best dick move ever when he ran the moment he discovered my secret after two days of hot sex. Then he brings some chick to my coming home party from the hospital—after being shot.
I hate him.

Until …

Ream’s six foot two frame unfolds out of the car after being gone on tour for eight months. I stared, unable to help myself. And in my defense, any girl would stare. It would almost be rude not to because Ream was the type of guy who stood out. Not because he had pink hair or shouted or was obnoxious. No, it was because he was the complete opposite. Subtle and dangerously quiet. If he spoke, you’d better hope he liked you because otherwise you’d be falling at his feet begging for mercy. Except me … I don’t beg—ever.
But when our eyes locked, it was Ream’s confident cold indifference that had my nerves shooting off like jet sprinklers.

Then…

Ream told me he didn’t need a second chance because he was still working on his first.

REAM

Sex is ugly. It’s using someone for your own narcissistic pleasure. I did it and I hated it—until her. She was unfuckinexpected. Then I had to wreck our beginning with my screwed up past.
I don’t deserve her, but I’m selfish and I’m taking her anyway. This is who I am and it’s too late to change me.

I swung the statue down onto his skull again and again.

The sound of crushing bone crackled throughout the room.

Blood splattered my green T-shirt like a mist of rain.

I didn’t care. Not one bit.

He destroyed her.

He deserved this.

Images of the bruises on her arms, the puncture marks, blurred my vision.

She watched me kill him.

Sitting on the floor, dazed with a glassy look in her eyes.

This was my fault.

I let this happen to her. I didn’t protect her.

I threw the statue aside. It made a loud thud as it hit the wood floor, and she jerked. I glanced at the needles on the bedside table. The yellow elastic band.

I was glad he was dead.

I strode over to her, picked her frail, weightless body up, and ran.

Her beauty was wilting. My angel. I had done that.

Ream

“Babe … You’re going to fuckin’ kill me.” Body tightening, I groaned as my dick jerked in her mouth. “Ahh, Christ.” She withdrew then circled the tip with her tongue as her hand cupped my balls, only to slide a finger down further to caress between my butt cheeks. Holy fuck, I’d never been blowed like this before—ever. Shit, who was I kidding? I never let a woman have this kind of control over me. If I had … I didn’t like to remember it.

The heat of her mouth surrounded me again, and she slowly took all of me until her lips touched my balls. I nearly came right then as I swore beneath my breath, my fingers fisting in her hair.

“Baby.”

Her silky moisture felt like I was wrapped in velvet. She slowly slid back and my hands curled into the sheet as the pressure increased until I slipped from her mouth. She took a breath then swallowed me again. I was so turned on, I couldn’t even think straight. Watching her take me like that … God, how the fuck did I ever get off before her?

Her head bobbed up and down faster, then harder, and all I could hear was her sweet mouth sucking my cock like it was her Popsicle.

I closed my eyes. Jesus, I never wanted it to end.

Harder. Suck me, harder.

My eyes flew open and I stiffened. No. Don’t ruin this. Fuck.

But it always did.

Be good and it won’t hurt.

I was breathing too hard. I was too tense. It would hurt more if I was tense.

Ask me for more.

No. No, more.

Ask me nicely.

Mo … re. Plea … se.

Fuck no. Jesus, why?

Because I hated this and I needed to end it and get the fuck out—fast. Letting her go down on me was a mistake. I never let a chick put her mouth me. Shit, what had I been thinking? I thought it might be different after spending two weeks with her. I liked her, damn it. But I couldn’t do this.

I grabbed her by the shoulders. “Get off me.”

Her magnetic blue eyes widened, and I felt her hand jerk on my cock. “What?”

“I said get the fuck off me.” My hands tightened on her shoulders and I felt the familiar sickness rolling in my stomach. I had to get the hell out of here. I should’ve never done this with her. I didn’t do sweet and slow; I did fast and hard and I was out of there before the bullshit barreled into me.

I went to roll out from under her, but she found my hand that had a death grip on the sheet. Her fingers slowly pried open my fist, and then she entwined them with mine and squeezed.

I looked down at her and for a moment I thought maybe I could … “No.” I said the word, but didn’t move.

She lowered her head, but kept her eyes on me while her tongue teased the head of my cock. She kissed it, gentle and tender, something I’d never had before. And I wanted it, but chicks sucking my cock was off limits. It was them having power that let the demons in.

I groaned as her tongue flicked over the sensitive tip. My fingers dug into her flesh and I fought the need to throw her away from me and, at the same time, push her head down on my cock, forcing her to take me deeper.

“I want to taste you. Come for me,” she said.

I couldn’t. Not like this. She had too much of me already. Fuck this. Screw all of it. I pushed her off me and her hand slipped from my cock as she fell to the side.

“Ream?”

I ignored her as I sat up and swung my legs over the side of the bed. I went to get up when her arms came around my neck.

“What do you need?”

“To leave.” I reached down for my jeans lying on the floor. This was stupid. I should’ve never hooked up with her. She was my bandmate’s girl’s best friend.

I went to stand when she grabbed my arm and pulled me back until I lay on the bed. “Jesus. I don’t want to fuck you, Kat.” I knew it was a lie because I wanted to fuck this girl bad.

After being throughly ripped apart, churned up and spat back out by Logan/Sculpt and Emily’s intense story I so badly needed to read Ream and Kat’s story! And boy I wasn’t disappointed!

Holy crap – the beginning of Overwhelmed By You has you gripped front he beginning and as both of Kat and Ream’s back sores re revealed you cannot help but be totally affected once again! Nashoda has pulled it off again and although I loved Sculpt and Emily, you cannot help but be drawn into the intricacies of the reasons behind why Kat and Ream act as they do.

Ream, where do i start?! My god I just want to cuddle him and tell him its all going to be ok! He is fierce in his devotion to those he cares for and loves. He wants Kat and without spoiling the story, the reason why he walks way from her to begin with is absolutely heartbreaking, especially when you hear both sides of the story. You know the man is damaged but just quite by how much and for what reasons absolutely ripped me to shreds! And the ending to his story (and by that I don’t mean any HEA he may or may not forge with Kat) is just twist I NEVER saw coming! His devotion to Kat is adorable (thats too soppy a word for Ream I know but he actually melted my heart at the end!). You can’t help but be left with a feeling that he “gets it” about Kat and that sort of connection really made me feel good about him!

The twist in the tale with Kat was also a total shock and hearing her side of things really breaks your heart too. I was mildly frustrated with her and her secrecy, however, I also got why she was hiding things from everybody too! Her story is a big path to self acceptance and also sees her growing and accepting that she doesn’t have to face things alone! Whether that be with Ream or not, she still realises that hiding herself isn’t the way to live her life and her issues don’t have to define who she is!

I also loved the fact that you get a glimpse of Emily and Logan and their lives on the sidelines. Its a lovely continuation of their story as well as developing Kat and Ream too. I really adore Matt too and his utter devotion to Kat and shouldering her issues as well as being her stand in parental figure too. He sooo needs is own story too (Hint hint!).

I cannot wait for the new series (Unyielding) which started with Deck and Georgie’s story!

FIVE BIG FAT STARS FROM ME!

Nashoda Rose lives in Toronto with her assortment of pets. She writes contemporary romance with a splash of darkness, or maybe it’s a tidal wave. Her novella “With You” is the first in the Tear Asunder series, followed by the novel “Torn from You” and “Overwhelmed by You”.
When she isn’t writing, she can be found sitting in a field reading with her dog at her side while her horses graze nearby. She loves interacting with her readers on Facebook and chatting about her addiction—books.

NEW RELEASE Breaking Free by Alexis Noelle

emthebookbabe June 20, 2014June 20, 2014 My 2014 Blogs No Comments

SYNOPSIS

Holly James is trying to move on with her life, but it’s not easy. She can’t stand to be touched by anyone, not even her own family. She is a lost broken shell of the person that she used to be. She realizes that shutting everyone out is much easier then opening up and letting someone hurt her.

Drew Walker is no prince charming. He doesn’t care about anyone but himself and has no intention of changing. He loves the life of excitement and entitlement that comes with being the lead singer of a band, and has no plans to get tied down anytime soon.

When these two meet there is an immediate chemistry. The thing that surprises Holly is that she can tolerate his touch. He makes her feel like herself once again and gives her the freedom and comfort she has been desperate to find. On the other hand he is self-centered, egotistical, and everything that she should stay away from.

What happens when the one person who can save you might also be the person who can break you?

“There was something about Drew, but I had no idea what it was. He was self-centered, cocky, and definitely not prince charming. Maybe that’s why I liked him though. Maybe I didn’t want to be saved by the handsome prince. Maybe I wanted to be corrupted by the evil king.”

**Breaking Free is for mature audiences only—strong language, and explicit sexual content are apparent.**

BOOK BLITZ Morning After by Melissa Hale

emthebookbabe June 20, 2014June 20, 2014 My 2014 Blogs No Comments

Book Title: Morning After
Author: Melissa Hale
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: January 2, 2014
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

Erica has never met anyone who made her want to deviate from her carefully laid out life plan. She is going to find a man who is good husband and father material. She has a plan and a timeline. She is not interested in passion. Passion is overrated.

Then in walks Ethan Reynolds a former Marine who runs a successful security company across the street. Even though he’s not what she was looking for, when he sets his sights on her he’s hard to resist.

When he makes it his job to protect her from a stalker she didn’t even know she had, her perfectly ordered world is thrown into upheaval and it’s only a matter of time until she discovers passion’s not so overrated after all. Too bad her stalker may end it all before she has a chance to really enjoy it!

Melissa lives with her husband and four children in the Pacific Northwest. She is an technology junkie and loves the gadgets. She believes the best thing ever invented was the e-reader and wishes the paperbacks already on her shelf were equally protected and accessible.

“Erica I want you to be safe.” He reached out and took her hands looking into her eyes. “Please.” The way he was looking at her lit up her whole body. She could feel everything. Every stitch of clothing she had on. The fabric of the couch. Most especially the way his thumbs were stroking the backs of her hands.

“Why.” She had to stop and clear her throat. “Why do you care so much?” He smiled then and released one of her hands so he could stroke the edge of her lower lip with his thumb.

“Because,” he whispered. “I like you. I think this is the beginning of something amazing and I want you to be around so we can experience it.” He drew closer and kissed her lower lip. “You have a really beautiful mouth.” he whispered, his hot breath mingling with hers. She ached low in her belly and realized she was experiencing something she had never experienced before. Full blown arousal. Now she knew what women meant when they said they were caught up in the moment. She didn’t care about anything at the moment except getting closer to him.

She leaned into him sealing her mouth fully against his. The flavor of him filled her with a heady rush. He pulled her lower lip into his mouth and sucked it then nipped it gently. She heard a soft moan that sounded remarkably like her but she knew her brain didn’t tell her to make that noise. No; her brain had deserted her completely. She felt his hands on her waist as he lifted her into his lap. She felt his arousal pressing against her thigh but even that wasn’t enough to make her pull back. His mouth broke from hers moving to her neck. The feel of his tongue on her neck made her quiver. Her normally cool and collected exterior was gone. Replaced by a woman who wanted to be bold and impulsive. A woman who wanted to tear her clothes off and say to hell with the consequences.

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/22090396-unexpected?ac=1

EXCERPT:

“What’s in the bag?” I ask while slamming the grade book closed earning his attention.

“You look so hot Erin. I’m having a really hard time keeping my hands off of you right now.” He says finally pulling a green apple out of the bag.

Turning around, he says goodbye and heads towards the door as the second bell rings. My classroom is still empty and my hormones are on high Walker alert.

“Why a green apple, Walker? Aren’t apples for teachers typically red?” I call out before he hits the doorway.

Without missing a beat he spins around, arms braced on the doorframe, and I’m met with lust filled eyes. His black polo stretching as far as it will go across his heaving chest. “I’ve
heard green makes you horny.”

“You don’t need anything green to get me horny, Walker. All you have to do is walk into a room,” I state, and by his expression I can tell he wasn’t expecting that to come out of
my mouth.

Pushing off the frame he stalks towards me like a man on a mission. As soon as he is a breath away his palms wrap around my neck pulling his mouth to mine. This kiss is different than the atmosphere. It’s gentle, fueled by passion, and sexy as hell. At any
moment we could be caught but I don’t care. My no touching below the belt rule is killing me and my dreams are getting more and more persistent. I want him and I want him here. Now.

Dragging himself away from me with a pained look he smiles and I realize he just doesn’t want to stop. “You surprise me Erin. At every turn I am taken by surprise and I love it.” He walks backwards and runs his hands through his hair. “I’m falling for you, baby. Hard. Real hard.”

And he’s gone before he can 2hear me whisper “me too.”

BOOK BLITZ After Days by Scott Medbury

emthebookbabe June 19, 2014June 13, 2014 My 2014 Blogs No Comments

Book Title: After Days
Author: Scott Medbury
Genre: Young Adult/Dystopian
Release Date: May 30, 2014
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions

15 year old Isaac Race has already lost everyone close to him. He is about to lose a lot more. We all are. A mystery outbreak sweeps North America, it is chilling in both its speed and deadliness. The odd thing is though, it is only fatal to adults. Too late it becomes clear to authorities that the virus is man-made, a biological weapon, and that the United States is at war…a war it has already lost. As his country is invaded and occupied by the Chinese army, Isaac must lead a ragtag group of survivors across three states in the depths of winter, avoiding not only the invaders, but also other dangers unleashed in a world suddenly deprived of adults and authority, to a safe haven that may not even exist.

Scott Medbury is a father of four from the beautiful Blue Mountains of Sydney Australia. He started writing as a boy after his Grandmother gave him an adventure book for Christmas but for various reasons didn’t actually publish anything until 2012 when he began publishing adult short stories under a pseudonym. Since that time he has sold over 60,000 short stories, collections and books in 13 countries. After Days, his first novel is the next stop in the journey that began so long ago with the gift from his Grandmother.
