His to Take ~ Katee Robert ~ NEW RELEASE and REVIEW


A sexy category romance novella from Entangled's Brazen imprint... 

Truth or dare... 

Erin Robinson is having an epically bad year. Her blossoming career on Broadway tanked, forcing her to crawl back to home to Wellington. The icing on her failure cake? Her former on-again, off-again fling is in town, and the sexy Marine is taking up way too much space. 

Warren Davis always knew Erin was special, which is exactly why he can't have her. A girl like her deserves something permanent--something neither of them wants. But now that they're both back in town and she's right there in front of him, a challenge in her eyes he's never been able to resist, he's questioning everything. 

That challenge quickly escalates into an epic game of Truth or Dare. Erin's sure she's got him on lock, but as the night progresses, Warren's dares intensify, drowning her in lust. But with the past still breathing down their necks, there's no way either of them can win…

Erin and Warren had a steamy summer together when they were nineteen. At the end of the summer, she went to New York and he went to the Marines. They have never really gotten over each other and have continued the occasional hook up when they are in the same place. 6 years later, they reconnect for a steamy night at Christmas time. Due to the length of His to Take, we don't get to know Erin or Warren very well. Their time together is fun and well written, I just wish there was more of it. The one night we see of Warren and Erin's time together is combustible and the connection they have seems so real. It is easy to understand Erin's fears. I would enjoy getting to see what their story looks like down the road, past the initial re-connection.

Crashed Out by Tessa Bailey


Jasmine Taveras is the reason Sarge Purcell grabbed his six-string and bailed the hell out of New Jersey four years ago. She's the fuel for every song he's ever written—each one laced with bitter, hard-edged, hungry lust. Now, with his hugely successful band on temporary hiatus, Sarge is determined to prove to Jasmine that this “kid” turned into every inch the man she's always needed...

Men are slim pickings for a single factory girl in Hook, New Jersey…until tall, broad-shouldered hotness walks—or rather storms—into Jasmine's life. Sarge's return shouldn't affect her this way. He's her best friend's much younger kid brother, and the kind of rough, gritty, sexiness Jasmine has no right to taste for herself. Even if he lets her.

But lust is a blinding, insatiable force. And when it crashes, it will take both Sarge and Jasmine down with it...

Say You're Mine by Diane Alberts


Navy SEAL Steven Thomas has only ever been able to count on three things: waking up in the morning, going to sleep sometime during the night, and Lauren Brixton. She’s been his best friend since grade school, and what they have is the only relationship he’s managed not to ruin.

Until one drunken night puts that all in jeopardy.

Lauren’s watched Steven flit from one-night stand to one-night stand, seemingly not interested in something more. So when the long-ignored attraction between the two of them blows up in their faces, she does the only thing she can—she pretends she doesn’t want him. But all’s fair in love and war, and Steven’s not about to lose the only person in his life who matters…

Crashed Out ~ Tessa Bailey ~ NEW RELEASE and REVIEW


A sexy category romance from Entangled's Brazen imprint... 

His inspiration. His torment. And his temptation...

What happens when you discover the little boy you used to babysit has been in love with you for years? What if that "Little boy" is now a sexy up and coming rock star?

Jasmine has to answer those questions in Crashed Out. Sarge comes home to see his sister and niece while his band is on a break over the holidays and ends up staying with Jasmine. He does nothing to hide his attraction to her and when she finally gave in, their sexy time made my kindle steam!

These two are more than just sexy time, Ms. Bailey also gives them opportunities to build a relationship. For some reason, they both seem to think that Jasmine has to stay in the New Jersey town where the grew up and that leads to heartache when Sarge has to leave (or thinks he does). I loved how his sister, who is also Jasmine's friend, pushes her to go find Sarge and be with him.

Crashed Out is not a long book, so we don't get too in depth with feelings and back story. But, it's just right for a satisfying quick read with characters that you can easily like and root for.

Say You're Mine is an entertaining take on the Friends to Lovers story line.

Steven and Lauren have been friends for nearly 20 years. Their relationship has survived him being deployed into a war zone with the SEALs and both of them making questionable romantic choices, but what happens when they take things beyond friendship?

Ms. Alberts does a great job of letting us get to know the characters while not bogging us down in too many details. It is obvious pretty quickly that these two have been more than friends for a long time, just without either one of them acknowledging it. I appreciated the way she let us see the fear that both Steven and Lauren had about taking their relationship to the romantic level. She also did an excellent job of giving us a glimpse into Steven's emotional state and the PTSD he was dealing with from his last and final deployment.

Say You're Mine is part of a series, but it work very well all by itself. The supporting cast is fairly small, but they impact the story as key players. If you have followed the series, you will get a glimpse of at least one of the previous couple and I'm pretty sure we met the characters for the next installment. Overall, this is a great quick read.

Betting on Bailey ~ Tara Crescent


Synopsis

A billionaire businessman. A bad-boy celebrity chef. A curvy woman. Sometimes, good things come in threes. 

Bailey Moore is not in the mood for love… She just needs to learn to play pool in a hurry. Out of spite, her loser ex-boyfriend has saddled her with a rent bill she cannot afford, and Bailey’s not going to take it lying down. She’s going to hit him where it hurts, by beating him at his favorite game, in front of all his friends. Now, she needs to join a pool league, find someone to coach her and get really good in a hurry. Perhaps her hot new teammates Daniel and Sebastian could be persuaded to help…

Sebastian Ardalan is too busy for love…

His restaurant has earned a prestigious award, and the offers are pouring in - cookbooks, TV shows, franchise deals and more. His focus should be on his career, but Sebastian can’t stop thinking about the curvy redhead who has just joined his pool team...

Daniel Hartman cannot afford love…

He’s shared women with Sebastian before, but there’s something special about Bailey. Before he knows it, he’s rashly bet fifty thousand dollars that Bailey will win a crucial pool game…

However, Daniel is negotiating a deal that’s vital to his company. If the sexy ménage becomes public news, all hell will break loose… 

When the stakes have never been higher, can the three of them bet on each other and take a chance on true love?

Note: Betting on Bailey is a stand-alone ménage novel (mfm) and part of the Playing For Love series. It is full of steamy scenes featuring a billionaire businessman, a bad-boy chef and a curvy redhead. Intended for mature audiences only.

Review Copy Provided by Author

I honestly had no idea what to expect when I started this book as Ms. Crescent is a new author for me. I was pleasantly surprised with Betting on Bailey. Bailey is a smart, up and coming professor at NYU who realizes she has a worthless boyfriend. She moves out on him and he bills her for rent. She decides to get revenge by beating him at his own game. That leads her to Daniel and Sebastian (a billionaire CEO and super star chef). What starts as sexual attraction between Bailey and both men (who are best friends) gradually grows into deep relationships. The men's attraction and attention helps bring Bailey out of her shell. The relationship the three of them have together also helps center both men so that they focus on what's really important. I enjoyed watching these three together. Not only did they have great sexy times, but they also had some wonderful, normal relationship moments. I couldn't help but root for the threesome to make it work. This was my first book by this author, but it won't be the last.

Author Bio

Hello, I’m Tara Crescent. I’ve always fantasized about being a mysterious spy, leading a secret double-life, and now, I find that that’s come true!

Sort of.

By day, I’m a mild-mannered corporate drone in Toronto, but by night, I’m limited only by my imagination; I sit, and I type, and I am a daring writer of BDSM, erotica and romance.

In my spare time, I write of course. I also read, garden, travel, cook, and almost never clean. I just started watching Walking Dead on Netflix (zombie erotica, anyone?), and I’m impatiently awaiting the next episode of Doctor Who. (I would kill for a TARDIS.)

I’ve scribbled bits and pieces all my life, chiefly inspired by what I’m reading, which tends to be mainly science-fiction and fantasy, with a healthy sprinkling of romance and erotica thrown in.

I’m a huge believer in happily-ever-after, but tempered by real life, where happily-ever-after is possible, but takes work.  My favorite kind of romance stories are ones that are somewhat believable; I like strong men and women who know what they want out of life, and are driven to get it.


I love reader email; I can be reached at taracrescent@gmail.com.

Happy reading and writing!

Never Over You Box Set ~Ryleigh Andrews

NOYBosxSet-Banner

Cover Designer: Najla Qamber Designs
Cover Photography: Perrywinkle Photography
Synopsis
Bring Me You (Book 1):
Pro quarterback, Ethan Christopher thought he had found his home when he met rock musician, Mia Devereux. She was the welcomed distraction in his football-focused life. Things may not have been perfect. Their individual careers made being together difficult. Her touring. His away schedule. As her success grew, they spent more extended periods apart. But at the end of the day, he knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with her. Only her. When Mia met Ethan, she felt a connection unlike any she’d ever felt. She gave him more of herself than she thought was even possible. But she knew it wasn’t enough. There was a lot she didn’t share, couldn’t give him. An event two decades in her past made sure of that. Those demons that she’d so carefully tucked away wanted out. As Mia struggled with the stress of touring and being apart from Ethan, her defenses weakened, allowing the demons to fight their way to the surface, leaving her in a vulnerable place. A place where bad choices were made. Choices that both of them will regret. Can Mia and Ethan's love survive her past? Or will it fall apart under the weight of her choices?  

Still Into You (Book 2):
What happens when you continually run from your demons? When Mia watched Ethan walk out of her life, she did what she did best—she ran—ran from the only person who ever made her feel safe; home. They work even harder to try and find you. He was her everything and she let him slip away. And when they do … they’ll come at you full force, guns blazing. Hitting rock bottom forced Mia to stop. Now she needed to dig herself out. Figuring out how to do that required help, maybe a plan. She had to face those demons. Not an easy task when she spent her entire life running from them. Would Ethan still be there for Mia after all was said and done? Or would she find that he had moved on? Or would he still be into her?  

Never Over You (Book 3):
Strange how life deals the cards sometimes … Life was perfect for Mia Devereux. “You can always have me, Mia. I’m always yours. Forever, suga.” She had everything she always wanted. But maybe life wasn’t so perfect after all. One event threatens her happily ever after. Will Mia revert to her old ways of dealing with her pain? Or will she fight? Or will the hurt simply be too much to handle? Can she get past the pain and recapture the life she so desperately wanted?

Excerpt
EXCERPT #1:
Calling out his name, she held her breath, hoping she wasn’t dreaming. He stretched out his legs right before she heard his awakening hum. She loved hearing that sound as she laid on his chest or spooned up against him. Ethan lifted his head to regard her and a smile came to his face. “Good morning,” he said before sitting up, resting his elbows on his knees, the smile not disappearing. Mia wanted to crawl across the floor and climb up and curl up in his lap, rest her face in that nook between his shoulder and his neck, his scent comforting her like it always did. “What are you doing here?” she asked, not saying anything she just thought. He stood and crossed the few feet to her, then slunk to the floor beside her, pulling his knees in front of him. “Why do you think?” “I don’t know what to think that’s why I asked.” He sighed quietly. She barely heard the small amount of indecision in that release of air, but she did. “I couldn’t stay away. The way you looked as I left haunted me. I realized that despite all the ways you said to the contrary, you needed me.” As much as she pushed him away over the past few months, Mia knew he was right. She did need him, the steady, solid strength of his by her side as she tried to figure out how to get herself better.

EXCERPT #2:
“Ready,” she announced as she slowly walked down the steps to join him. The damn skirt teased the fuck out of his cock with each step down. Seriously? A skirt? How was he going to resist that? Was he even supposed to? “So, did you think about what you wanted to do while you were in the shower?” he asked, the visual of her naked body under the water, lathering up with soap, popped into his head. Stop torturing yourself, he thought. Mia smiled up at him. “I did. It’s such a beautiful day. So, I was thinking a little shopping for you and then the beach. And no need for the studio. I called instead.” “Sounds like a plan. Do you have your swim suit?” he asked, gesturing at her with a sweep of his hand. “It’s on under this.” “Really?” he said, peeking down her shirt. She treated him to her lovely laugh as she held out her shirt. “See?” He did. The cups barely covered her lush breasts. He wanted to bury his face in between them. As he thought about his face in her breasts, his mind wandered to what her bikini bottom covered. “I do. A bikini.” “Yeah.” “Nice,” he said, taking another look, staring at the swell of her breasts. He had an insane desire to run his tongue along her
skin, to taste her again.

About the Author
During the day, Ryleigh is an analyst, but even then, she’s writing, sneakily crafting scenes on post-it notes. She's been told she's a bit of a geek...some say nerd. She'll agree to it all. She loves music. It's been a force in her life for as long as she can remember. Her love of Star Wars and superheroes has probably been going on just as long...see, this is where the geek/nerd thing comes into play. But, most of all, Ryleigh loves the written word. She's been writing for a long time. Her first story came to her during one of her history classes. She wrote it in the margins of her notebook in teeny tiny letters so no one knew that she was writing a book instead of taking notes on 16th Century Europe. She currently lives in Chicago, Illinois, with her husband and son, along with her Siberian Husky, Mick Jagger, and her cat, Winston Churchill.
