Meet me at midnight– whispered words from drunken lips.Lips that I had spent years wanting to kiss.Lips that I had dreamt about night after night, waking to wonder what if.What if he noticed me?What if he wanted me?What if…But I quickly learned some things are better left to wonder.Especially where Levi Mills is concerned.He didn’t just steal my innocence that night.He broke every part of me.Dismantled me from the inside out until there was nothing left of the girl I used to be.Years passed. Moments faded into the background. Until eventually he became nothing more than a distant memory- a dream that almost didn’t seem real.But then suddenly he’s there, standing in front of me again like he never left. And in that one heartbeat, in that one breath, I relive it all over again. Every touch. Every word. Like frozen snippets of time suspended in front of my eyes.And then he smiles that all too familiar smile, meet me at midnight moving soundlessly across his lips.

Life in the Chastity Zone (Chastity Series) by Holly Brandon
Chastity (Chase) Morgan’s fairytale dreams of everything perfect–career, wedding, marriage, and family–all go by the wayside when her fiancé dumps her for someone else. The thirty-year-old virgin decides to take a trip on the wild side, so to speak, when Roxie, her partner-in-crime cousin, encourages her to get out of her nerdy comfort zone and dive into the world of dating … Roxie-style. It doesn’t help that a nine-year-old psychic relays more information than she can handle. Between the madness and the metaphysical, what unfolds in more bizarre than anything Chase could ever imagine.
Quote from Life in the Chastity Zone
“This whole email courtship is madness. I may be 100 percent cuckoo, but shouldn’t I at least be deliriously happy that he’s flying 5,659 miles to see me, instead of pacing around my room like a nervous wreck? Confession: I’ve been basking in the idea of him. But now that he’s just minutes away from touching down in Los Angeles, and his name doesn’t start with L, I have this gnawing intuitive feeling that something’s not quite kosher. It’s like that funny feeling you get when you get scared, and your hair on your arms stands on end.”
Holly Brandon is an engineer-turned fiction writer. With a lifetime of adventurous love stories, Brandon began her series of books based on real-life experiences. Brandon holds a Ph.D., M.S., and B.S. in Civil Engineering from UCLA and USC. Prior to her fiction novels, she was best known for her published works in the Journal of Earthquakes, Earthquake Engineering, and Engineering Vibrations and Earthquake Science. When she isn’t writing, Brandon enjoys tennis, golf, reading, and spending time with family and friends. A Los Angeles based fiction writer, Holly has won several accolades and awards that contribute to her success.
When Holly Brandon broke free from her analytical life to produce Life in the Chastity Zone, she had no idea that her dream of a fiction writer would become a reality. Civil Engineer turned author, the accolades she received from Life in the Chastity Zone, the first in the adventures of Chastity (Chase) Morgan series, have confirmed she made the perfect career transition.
Upon completion of her second book of the series entitled, “Nothing’s As It Seems”, Brandon continues to regale readers with Chastity Morgan’s often-zany adventures. Unbelievable as it may appear, many of the scenes in “Life in the Chastity Zone” and “Nothing’s As It Seems” are based on true-life experiences. Holly invites readers to follow Chastity on her crazy and hilarious adventures in her search for love and happiness.

Dash Hardt gave up on love years ago, but with one look at Arden, the shadows of his past shrink away. He begins to wonder if there’s something to this “boom” his bosses have always gabbed about but cracking away the chip on Arden’s shoulder that seems to weigh more than the crappy car she’s driving won’t be easy.
Can he win her trust before the threat of her ex sends her running to another state—again?

Maybe We Won’t by Melissa Foster @melissa_foster #review @inkslingerpr
Title: Maybe We Won’t
Author: Melissa Foster
Genre: Contemporary Romance
I’m a little peeved I didn’t go back to buy book 1 and 2 This was a fantastic book. You can rely the author’s synopsis in the first few chapters to catch up on the prior books, but it would be fun to read them.
The family aspect is so strong and endearing. The sisters are similar in a lot of ways. The differences are sort of big, one being involved in the Bistro (Abby), cooking and serving up great food and the other a lawyer (Deidra). Cait has a story behind her character that is worth looking at book 1 and 2. In fact they all do. It can be standalone but I would read all three.
In between hanging out with the all around hippie hottie Jagger, Deidre deals with her issues. One is the loss of her mother. She learns that Jagger was close with her mother, this aspect comes into play in a big way.
When you are dealing with the loss, hurt and anger of a loved one’s death the author brilliantly uses Jagger to lighten the load. In addition to Jagger’s suaveness the chain of gossip is a hoot! The people, shall I say women, of Silver Island have enough time to start the funniest rumor text chain ever. This is pure comic relief. I honestly think this was the best part for me.

EXCERPT
Sweat drops roll down my back as I tread into the shadowy forest, the looming pine trees blocking most of the sunlight. Adrenaline courses through my veins, causing shivers down my spine with every step I take. Every little sound is another trigger, a tiny mole crawling down into its hole, pine needles rolling across the mossy ground, birds’ wings flapping high above my head.
I pause to look around and listen, my hand on my phone in case I need to let someone know where I am. My head instinctively turns to look back at my car still parked on the side of the road, but the farther I go into the woods, the less it becomes visible, and something about that makes my heart turn icy cold. I’m in the middle of nowhere, and no one knows I’m here.
No one but me.
And him.
I swallow away the nerves as I approach the cabin while firmly clutching my gun. The gun I stole from my father’s arsenal when the guards weren’t looking. They won’t miss one tiny little gun, but it might help me save myself.
Because lord knows what I’ll find.
That man I once knew is gone forever.
At least, that’s what I keep telling myself. I stalk farther and farther into the forest until the road is no longer visible, and all I have left is the pine trees and critters to accompany me.
In the distance, a cabin becomes visible.
I suck in a ragged breath.
Even though it’s not nighttime yet, the darkness surrounding me hums with a kind of electrical current that scatters goose bumps across my skin.
CRACK!
I freeze from the sound of a twig snapping in half.
My heart goes a million miles an hour.
Oh, God. What if it’s him? Am I ready?
I point my gun in the direction of the sound. Straight ahead, near the cabin.
TRSSKK! CRACK!
More noisy rustling … until an axe slowly appears from behind a tree, glinting in the dark.
I gasp in shock, barely able to keep the squeal inside as an almost ungodly muscular but beastly looking man steps out from behind the tree wearing nothing but a short towel around his waist. His long beard and hair are wet and stick to his muscular, tattooed body. His square face is smeared with dirt and blood, and his hooded brown eyes are locked on mine.
Liam.
I can’t even process it’s him because of the state he’s in.
But the second he raises his axe, I regain my senses and aim for his head.
“Don’t come close, or I’ll shoot!” I yell.
He doesn’t say a word, doesn’t even stop, and my hands begin to shake.
I’ve shot a gun before, but never at an actual human being, and the thought is already making me nauseous. But if I must … what other choice do I have? He’s dangerous. He tried to kill my sister, he’ll never stop, and I have to protect her.
C’mon, Jasmine, you can do this.
I click off the safety and yell, “I mean it!”
He stops and looks me dead in the eyes like a killer would when he’s found his target, and something about that makes my entire body start to tremble.
His lips part, his tongue slowly licking his canines as a lopsided smile appears on his face. “Don’t … move.”
His voice is gravelly. Darker than I remember, even from that night he came for her. And the mere sound reminds me of just how far he went to get what he wanted.

Title: Jane Deyre
Author: Nelle L’Amour
Genre: Contemporary Retelling
About Jane Deyre:
A steamy and twisty contemporary retelling of Jane Eyre from USA Today bestselling and #1 Amazon all-star author, Nelle L’Amour.
When legendary actress Edwina Rochester offered me a job to be the nanny of her five-year-old goddaughter, I didn’t expect to end up living at Thornhill, her infamous Hollywood mansion. The site of a kidnapping, suicide, and possible murder.
Nor did I expect to fall in love with my charge’s devastatingly handsome father, Ward Rochester. A man who’s totally off limits and is hiding a secret.
As my feelings for him deepen, strange, frightening sounds start coming from the room next to mine. My most intimate possessions go missing. And someone’s leaving me notes, threatening my life.
Should I trust the mysterious, mercurial Mr. Rochester? My heart tells me yes. But my brain tells me run.
The problem, reader, is I have no place to go. And I cannot resist him.
Will I get the happily ever after I’ve always longed for? Or will I be the next victim of The Curse of Thornhill?

Exclusive Excerpt:
Ward
Jane’s eyes grow wide. “Mr. Rochester, you went to Yale?”
“Yeah, but that’s a story for another day.” I look down at her drink. It’s depleted. Like mine. I’m tempted to refill our snifters, but refrain, not wanting to get into my downward spiral following my mother’s death. “You said one drink…I’m going to honor your wishes.” A pause. “Plus, I need to pack my bag for my trip.”
Her face falls. “Where are you going?”
“To New York…on business.” A half-truth and I leave it at that.
She sets her snifter down on the coffee table and stands. She wobbles on her feet. I leap to mine and clutch her shoulders to steady her. I’m so close to her I can smell the liquor on her breath, taste it on my lips. I want to capture her mouth with mine in the worst possible way. I draw her closer to me.
A flush crawls up her cheeks. “I guess the brandy’s gotten to my head.”
It’s gotten to mine too. I can’t resist. Without giving it a second thought, I lean into her and press my lips against hers. They’re more delicious than I imagined. Warmer. Softer. So compliant. Electricity courses through my body, charging every atom of my being. She moans into my mouth, arousing me further. Then cups my face, deepening the kiss.
Reality intervenes. As impulsively as I touched down on her lips, I pull away. What the hell am I doing? Frightening simplicity. I’m kissing my daughter’s nanny. She’s totally off-limits. And I hardly even know her. Fuck me.
“Jane… I mean Miss Deyre… I’m sorry. I don’t know what came over me. That was totally inappropriate.”
I’m expecting a harsh slap across my face. I deserve it. And brace myself for the sting. Instead, she lets out a shuddering breath. Then, licks her lips—a small gesture that sends my hormones into a tailspin. My cock strains against my fly.
Her breathing remains shallow, her glistening lips stay parted. She looks shell-shocked. Three little words spill out in a whisper:
“I let you.”
I’m a writer and I have no words.
Nor does she.
