**On Sale** Truth Or Dare by Mira Lyn Kelly

Title: Truth or Dare 

Author: Mira Lyn Kelly

Genre: Romance

Book Description:

In a deliciously sexy twist on the classic game, USA Todaybestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly proves that when playing truth or dare—always choose dare.
 
After her one attempt at commitment ends in the worst kind of betrayal, Maggie Lawson vows that the only people she’ll love ’til death do they part will be her friends. Unfortunately that means Maggie letting her bestie rope her into a year-long dating dare: score a new date each month or pay a penalty. Seems doable—until Maggie’s date stands her up, leaving only one option: the sexy stud who just moved in upstairs. The problem? He and Maggie can’t stop fighting—and that’s just the beginning. 
 
His name is Tyler Wells and the last thing he needs is his neighbor distracting him with her girl-next-door smile and sharp tongue. Tyler’s in Chicago for one reason: to woo back his selfish ex in order to reclaim the child he once thought was his—and that means keeping Maggie out of his bed. A tall order, since Maggie has become a bigger temptation than he ever expected to face. But before they can even consider leaving the past behind, Maggie and Tyler must accept a brand-new dare: real, forever love.

Uncivilized {Book Review}

      

Title: Uncivilized 

Author: Sawyer Bennett 

Genre: Romance

Book Description:

**Warning: This book is a wild, sexy beast of a read. 18+**

Putting a woman on her knees before me is what really makes my cock hard. I fuck with dominant force and absolute control. I demand complete surrender from my conquests.

Savage man, loner, warrior… I am dangerous at my core. I have lived amidst the untamed wild of the rainforest, in a society that reveres me and where every woman falls before me in subjugation.

Now I’ve been discovered. Forced to return to a world that I have forgotten about and to a culture that is only vaguely familiar to my senses.

Dr. Moira Reed is an anthropologist who has been hired to help me transition back into modern society. It’s her job to smooth away my rough edges… to teach me how to navigate properly through this new life of mine. She wants to tame me.

She’ll never win.

I am wild, free and raw, and the only thing I want from the beautiful Moira Reed is to fuck her into submission.

She wants it, I am certain.

I will give it to her soon.

Yes, very soon, I will become the teacher and she will become my student. And when I am finished showing her body pleasure like no other, she’ll know what it feels like to be claimed by an uncivilized man.

My Review:

     I was really looking forward to reading this book from Sawyer Bennett, but for me this book just turned out ok to me. I'm not sure what it was about this book, but there was just something holding me back from really enjoying it. It reminded me as many people have said already of Tarzan and Jane. 

I really liked the plot, it had something different from the others books right now. What I really liked about this book was Zach's dominance.

I liked both characters and I can say that their connection was evident from the moment they looked each other, you could feel their desire and passion. And this made me really want to see them together. It was nice watching the progress of their relationship. 

    Now I'm not a prude or anything and I love to read books that have sex in them. And if you like reading books that have bold, hot, sexy scenes in them than this book is for you. 

     I would give this book a good 3.5 out of 5 stars. Don't get me wrong with this low rating. I liked this book I did, but there was just something holding me back from fully enjoying it. I would recommend it to anyone who I think would enjoy it. I can't wait to see what Sawyer Bennett comes up with next.

Book Info:

Title: Darkly Dreaming

Authors: Kristen Painter, Elizabeth Hunter, Grace Draven, Cate Rowen and Danielle Monsch

Release Date: September 15, 2014

Genre: Fantasy Romance

Format: Boxed Set

Summary

Fall into magic and fall in love with DARKLY DREAMING, an anthology from five award winning and bestselling writers in fantasy romance.

Feared by a priesthood. Coveted by a god. Tempted by a slave. In Grace Draven's MASTER OF CROWS, a renegade mage must battle a god for his soul and decide if his fate—and the fate of nations—is worth the life of the spy he has come to love. 

From MASTER OF CROWS:

Silhara’s eyes closed. He told himself the residual effects of her Gift sliding over him—through him—brought on that embrace. But he didn’t believe his own lies. He kissed Martise because he wanted her, because he admired her. Because he wanted more than just the ethereal essence of her lingering on his tongue once her Gift withdrew. He’d kissed her on impulse, lured by the tempting curve of her lips and the slight feel of her in his arms. He’d expected her to retreat from his onslaught. Gentleness was not in his nature, and he was desperate to taste her. But she hadn’t recoiled from his rough embrace, responding instead with a passion to equal his own.

From STONE GUARDIAN

She was sleeping, his little human, her eyelashes soft shades under closed eyelids. Her lips made a little pout as she slept, as if she was waiting for a kiss. That was one request he would always grant.

He ghosted his lips over hers, bit by bit applying more pressure with each pass, until she woke. Those eyes opened, the room too dark to see their full color, but after the focused on him they relaxed, losing the lines of confusion and settling into happiness. “I’m sorry I fell asleep. It’s been a long day.”

He pushed her hair back from her cheek, the petal-soft skin sensitizing the nerve endings in his fingers. “Yes, it has. I wish I had the willpower to let you sleep as you need, but I could not wait that long to hear your voice again.”

**Spotlight** Facing The Music & Giveaway: 9/21/14

Book: Facing The Music

Author: Andrea Laurence

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Excerpt

Ivy pressed her hands against Blake's shoulders, pushing him gently until he was lying back on the blanket.

“What are you doing?” he asked.

“Whatever I want to.”

Blake arched his eyebrow at her, but he didn’t complain. He held perfectly still as her nimble fingers moved down the front of his shirt, undoing each button and exposing the expanse of skin beneath it. Her palms ran over his skin, relishing the feel of his chest hair tickling her hands. She leaned forward, letting her tongue glide along his collarbone, and then she crept down his body to the button of his jeans.

“Your hair tickles,” he said.

Ivy gathered up the long, wavy strands of her hair into one hand and swept them over her shoulder. “Do you want me to stop?”

“Not on your life,” he said between tightly gritted teeth as her fingertips brushed the edge of his waistband.

“That’s what I thought,” she said with a smile. “Now, stop complaining.”

Ivy settled between his legs, resting on her knees as she unbuttoned his jeans. She tugged at his back pockets, pulling his jeans down the length of his legs and throwing them out of her way. She moved back over him doing the same with his underwear, which thankfully, this time, were a pair of charcoal-gray boxers. They slid easily out of her way, leaving nothing between her and her goal.

She leisurely traveled back up his legs. Her fingertips gently brushed along the puckered pink scars of his calf and across his kneecap. By the time she reached his upper thigh, he was nearly trembling. Ivy wasn’t sure if it was with anticipation, emotion, or pain.

His hand reached out and snatched her wrist as she moved higher. “This hardly seems fair,” he said. “You’re wearing entirely too much clothing for me to be wearing so little.”

“Who’s doing this? You or me?”

Blake acquiesced and released her hand. He crossed his arms behind his head, giving himself an excellent vantage point for overseeing her activities. “You are, ma’am.”

“That’s right. Now are you going to keep critiquing everything I do, or do I need to put something in your mouth to shut you up?”

A wicked grin crossed Blake’s face as he looked at her. “May I offer a suggestion?”

“I have several ideas of my own,” she said.

Delicate Ink {Book Review}

Title: Delicate Ink 

Author: Carrie Ann Ryan

Genre: Romance 

Book Description:

On the wrong side of thirty, Austin Montgomery is ready to settle down. Unfortunately, his inked sleeves and scruffy beard isn’t the suave business appearance some women crave. Only finding a woman who can deal with his job, as a tattoo artist and owner of Montgomery Ink, his seven meddling siblings, and his own gruff attitude won’t be easy.

Finding a man is the last thing on Sierra Elder’s mind. A recent transplant to Denver, her focus is on opening her own boutique. Wanting to cover up scars that run deeper than her flesh, she finds in Austin a man that truly gets to her—in more ways than one.

Although wary, they embark on a slow, tempestuous burn of a relationship. When blasts from both their pasts intrude on their present, however, it will take more than a promise of what could be to keep them together.

My Review:

      I've been finding a lot of new authors that I've never heard of lately and have been lucky enough to be able to check out some of their books. Author Carrie Ann Ryan is one of those authors I had never heard of before. I was really excited to check out her newest book Delicate Ink it sounded like a book I would enjoy. And I mean who doesn't love reading about an inked up hot man!!!!!!

     Austin is an interesting character to say the least. Underneath all his growling and grunting and gruffness. Is a man who is caring and has made something of himself. Also you can see the love he has for his family and his friends. Especially when they find out Austin's father has cancer. I also loved the dynamics between Austin and his siblings. 

    I wasn't sure if I was going to like Sierra or not. As I've said before I have a hard time connecting with lead female characters in books. But I found myself being drawn to Sierra she's sweet, sassy, independent and strong. 

      There's a lot and I do mean a lot squeezed into this book. It almost made me wish author Carrie Ann Ryan had spilt Austin and Sierra's book into two books. But none the less it is a really good book. 

    I definitely give this book 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend it. I can't wait to read more from this series. 

Delicate Ink comes out on Oct.14th you can Pre-Order on Amazon, B & N, Kobo and on iTunes.

Single Man Meets Single Mom {Book Review}

    Title: Single Man Meets Single Mom

   Author: Jules Bennett

   Genre: Contemporary Romance 

   Book Description:

From player to...daddy?

Hollywood agent Ian Schaffer could have his pick of gorgeous women. So he's totally thunderstruck by the intensity of his attraction to horse trainer Cassie Barrington. 

The single mom, with her luscious curves and unadorned beauty, is so much hotter than the bombshells he's used to. But it's her vulnerability and passion that the jaded player finds utterly irresistible—and that sets off alarm bells, because Ian's as commitment-shy as they come. A woman with a child is absolutely off-limits! Too bad the voluptuous mom has Ian aching to break all his old rules...

My Review:

     This is my first book by author Jules Bennett and I was really looking forward to reading this book. I mean who doesn't love a book where guy meets girl, guy likes girl, guy finds out girl has a kid. I sure do enjoy reading them. Their kinda my weakness even though it's my every day life. And their have been a lot of single parent books out and coming out soon. 

    This book grabbed my attention right away and had me laughing (in a good way of course). All of which are important to me when reading, if a book can't hold my attention well all bets are off. But this book doesn't have these problems. 

    I loved Ian Schaffer right from the beginning. He was confident and sexy and had a humorous streak. And I loved how even after he learned Cassie had a kid he stuck with her, even though he had his doubts. Ian also made me have tears in my eyes at the end of the story (you'll have to read it if you want to know. I don't want to give away any spoilers). 

     Cassie was sweet and sassy and independent. I really liked her character from the beginning. She gave as good as she got from Ian. 

     I give this book a strong 4.5 out 5 stars and would definitely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys sweet contemporary romances.

Built For Power {Book Review}

Book: Built for Power

Author: Kathleen Brooks

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Book Description:

Bree Simpson has her dream job at the family company. However, recent events have turned that dream into a nightmare. Bree has learned to tolerate a lot as one of the few women in an executive position in the construction industry. But when the normal bullying tactics turn aggressive and threaten her project in Atlanta, Bree decides to go on the offensive. Convinced an architect is out to destroy her project, Bree decides it's time to give Logan Ward a piece of her mind.

Despite being thousands of miles away in London, successful architect Logan Ward finds himself on the receiving end of "B. Simpson's" angry messages from across the pond. Deciding to handle B. Simpson’s demands himself, Logan heads to Atlanta only to discover things are not what they seem, starting with the sexy woman he rescues after an accident on the job site.

Only time will tell if a case of mistaken identity can turn hate into love—but time may not be a luxury they can afford. Can Logan and Bree discover their real selves and true love in time or will everything be torn down around them?

My Review:

This is the first book I have read from author Kathleen Brooks. She's another one of those authors that I hadn't heard of before. I had been asked to do a spotlight spot and giveaway for this book. And have a chance to read the book. I read the blurb for the post I had put up and again thought that it sounded like a book I would be interested in reading.

This book has a little bit of everything. It grabs your attention, a little bit of mystery, a little bit of romance, a little bit of drama.

Bree's character had a little bit of sass. But a lot of determination for working in a man's world. Bree also is having to find a way to keep herself alive through the whole story. Bree's character also made me laugh at times.

Logan's character was loveable right away. He rescues Bree right after she goes into the building that has an explosion. Logan is sweet and protective and caring. 

Kathleen really makes you think and try to figure out who is out to get Bree. I know there were several times I went back and forth trying to figure it out. 

I give this book a 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend it. I can't wait to read other books from this author.
