Friday Afternoon by Sylvia Ryan @lyricalpress


“You have to catch me first.” – Mia
BDSM never gets old.

Before kids and the responsibility of life, Levi and I shared a spontaneous, erotic, and deliciously deviant marriage. Years transformed what we had into something comfortable and worn. It hurts me to think his desire for me has cooled. I miss that look of his. Slightly evil and totally hot, like he wanted to devour me. Haven’t seen it in ages.

When I first married Mia, she submitted to every one of my erotic needs. Then came the children. With little complaint, I abandoned my pursuit of kink, content to be married to a beautiful, intelligent woman who’s a great mother to our twins. Out of the blue, Mia confesses she misses the intimacy in our marriage, misses the sex. After this enticing revelation, my plan to reconnect with her unfolds.

In our secret, kinky, Friday afternoon meetings I’m going to give her everything she wants and take everything I need. Will this be the answer to fixing our marriage?

CONTENT WARNING: This book contains explicit sex, graphic language, and strong elements of BDSM including the use of toys, bondage, and pain

Sylvia lives the life of an ordinary wife, mother and professional existing in Midwest Suburbia, USA. She reads voraciously and loves to lose herself and fall head over heels for the alpha males in the novels she reads.
When she gets the chance to shed the prim and proper persona of average wife and mother, her secret identity, Sylvia Ryan, emerges. This alter ego strives to write original ideas in extraordinary settings for her readers to remember long after the book has been read. Her dream is to transform her racy thoughts and naughty nature into tangible works of erotic fantasy for others’ secret identities to enjoy

Only Scandal Will Do by Jenna Jaxon @Jenna_Jaxon #spotlight @lyricalpress


He has the woman of his dreams, but what price will he have to pay to win her heart?
 
Kidnapped and sold at auction in a London brothel, Lady Katarina Fitzwilliam squelches an undeniable attraction to the masked stranger who purchased her, pits her wits against him, and escapes him and the scandal that would ruin her life.
Unable to resist temptation in a London brothel, Duncan Ferrers, Marquess of Dalbury, purchases a fiery beauty. She claims she’s a lady, but how can she be?
No lady of his acquaintance in polite society is anything like her. Then he discovers she is who she says, and that this latest romp has compromised her reputation. He knows how that is. One more scandal and he’ll be cast out of London society, but he needs a wife who’ll provide an heir to carry on his illustrious family’s name. He seeks out Katarina, intending only to scotch the scandal, but instead finds his heart ensnared. He’s betting their future he’ll capture her heart, but does he have what it takes to win the wager?
Warning: A blade-wielding heroine who crosses swords with a master of sensuality.
Jenna has been reading and writing historical romance since she was a teenager. A romantic herself, she has always loved a dark side to the genre, a twist, suspense, a surprise. She tries to incorporate all of these elements into her own stories. She lives in Virginia with her family and a small menagerie of pets. When not reading or writing, she indulges her passion for the theatre, working with local theatres as a director. She often feels she is directing her characters on their own private stage. She has equated her writing to an addiction to chocolate because once she starts she just can’t stop.

I guess it is time for a little honesty, so here goes: I liked book one, and I wanted to fall in love with Lily as much as I was liking Kyle. I was thrilled that the frustration with Lily and talking about her family was put to rest. The fact that she has a best friend and neighbor and doesn’t really know him was frustrating. So this book was LOVE. Yes birds were singing and floating on little fluffy white clouds. She gets to the house where she grew up and the flood gates open. Everything from book one that was not answered will be answered. Still trying to mend the family, we learn a few secrets and it blows my mind. Just dont forget the threats. When you don’t expect it there it is
You are introduced to her cousins and Aunt that she kept distance from. It was a tough part of the book when her Aunt came to visit. The mystery is somewhat resolved as well as some of her fears. YOU must read it.
Now…I know there is more and I don’t know why but I get a feeling the next book will have to do a lot with Kyle and less with Lily. I want you all to tell me if you think maybe there may be something dark looming over them again. I am still thinking too much about it.
I must say this shows a different side of the Kyle and Lily love story too. It was hot. In the level of sexy scenes I will say that there is a lot.  Lily has totally opened up to Kyle and is now accepting his love and she sort of lets him take all of her. I hope that makes sense. I felt that there was this epiphany brought front and center that Kyle was responsible for. He really is the king in my book. Very few times is the grief process explained in this sort of unique way. Kudos to the author for bringing sexy, love, grief and family together.

Waking Up Dead by Margo Bond Collins #excerpt #trailer @MargoBondCollin


When Dallas resident Callie Taylor died young, she expected to go to Heaven, or maybe Hell. Instead, when she met her fate early thanks to a creep with a knife and a mommy complex, she went to Alabama. Now she’s witnessed another murder, and she’s not about to let this one go. She’s determined to help solve it before an innocent man goes to prison. And to answer the biggest question of all: why the hell did she wake up dead in Alabama?
d2d34-excerptblogback

When I died, I expected to go to heaven.
Okay. Maybe hell. It’s not like I was perfect or anything. But I was sort of hoping for heaven.
Instead, I went to Alabama.
Yeah. I know. It’s weird.
I died in Dallas, my hometown. I was killed, actually. Murdered. I’ll spare you the gruesome details. I don’t like to remember them myself. Some jerk with a knife–and probably a Bad-Mommy complex. Believe me, if I knew where he was, I’d go haunt his ass.
At any rate, by the time death came, I was ready for it–ready to stop hurting, ready to let go. I didn’t even fight it.
And then I woke up dead in Alabama. Talk about pissed off.
You know, even reincarnation would have been fine with me–I could have started over, clean slate and all that. Human, cow, bug. Whatever. But no. I ended up haunting someplace I’d never even been.
That’s not the way it’s supposed to work, right? Ghosts are supposed to be the tortured spirits of those who cannot let go of their earthly existence. If they could be convinced to follow the light, they’d leave behind said earthly existence and quit scaring the bejesus out of the poor folks who run across them. That’s what all those “ghost hunter” shows on television tell us.
Let me tell you something. The living don’t know jack about the dead.
Not this dead chick, anyway.

Margo Bond Collins lives in Texas with her husband, their
daughter, several spoiled cats, and a ridiculous turtle. She teaches college-level
English courses online, though writing fiction is her first love. She enjoys
reading urban fantasy and paranormal fiction of any genre and spends most of
her free time daydreaming about vampires, ghosts, zombies, werewolves, and
other monsters. Waking Up Dead is her first published novel. Her second novel,
Legally Undead, is an urban fantasy, forthcoming in 2014 from World Weaver
Press.

The Billionaire’s Will by Marti Talbott @martitalbott #review


 

 

The cover should have a warning sign “Will cause sleepless nights” 

The book started with The Harlan Detective Agency, and the leader Jackie explaining her case. Her investigators Carl and Michael were funny at times even while being professional. It went on to alternate chapters in different point of views. There is the death of Nicholas Gladstone, worth billions, along with the attorney put in charge of the probate of his will.   

Enter Austin, the lawyer who is involved in an online relationship with “Sissy 3211” aka Maggie. What I found so very interesting was the details in their conversation. Maggie was lonely and had no boyfriend. She has been talking to Austin aka “”Bronco” for a long time. She is so overly cautious about her details. He does try to trick her into giving him her real identity. She is way too smart. I absolutely loved this part. 

Then there is Laura, Nicholas’ daughter and her womanizing husband Matthew Connelly. She is a drunk and he has never loved her, only her money. She really loved him and has crawled into the black abyss. It so happens her dad passes away and a week before he dies, discovers she had a child. So he leaves everything to his granddaughter. OMG

 

Then there is a maid Teresa who goes out of her way to be placed in the Connolly home. So the search for the grandchild that nobody knew even existed in kicked into high gear. The Connolly’s are suing the estate so unless Austin gets the name, the Connolly’s will get the estate. Austin was like a son to Mr Gladstone and there is nothing he wont do to get the daughter Laura doesn’t know existed. I was so pleased with the authors attention to details throughout the book. 

 

It is a tale like no other! The way the characters are all brought together totally blew me away. It was the last 25%  of the book that left me completely on a mission to finish the book NOW. There was no way I could go to sleep not knowing what happened. This rivals the best mystery writers of our generation. I have not read something so detailed and riveting in this genre.

 

The ending was totally exceeding my expectations.
