commitment. He wants fun. He wants easy.

while she waits for Braydon to let her in, or will she be forced to demand all
or nothing?

A story of heart-stopping, toe-curling passion by the beloved
bestselling author of 
Hard to Love, Resisting Her, and The Impact of You.

Straight-laced and well-mannered southerner Emmy Clarke is out of her depth in New York City’s fashion world, but when she lands a job as an assistant at a modeling agency it
seems like the perfect mix of business and pleasure. Working under the notoriously tyrannical Fiona Stone is a nightmare, but there’s one distinct perk: ogling the ridiculously hot male models who parade through the office—particularly rising star Ben Shaw.

Ben is everything Emmy’s not: exquisitely gorgeous, highly paid, and well-traveled.
He’s also got more issues than Vogue. Emmy looks after Ben on photo shoots, but she refuses to become another one of his lusting groupies. Ben finds Emmy’s refreshingly real attitude to be surprisingly attractive.

Against a backdrop of the most fashionable cities in the world, casual flirting turns
into an illicit affair, but when Ben’s twisted past is revealed, and the bitter Fiona catches wind of their relationship, their careers and hearts are threatened.

In Working It, New York Times bestselling author Kendall Ryan delivered a sexy
and addictive contemporary romance about Emmy Clarke, a sweet southern girl out
of her depth in New York City’s cutthroat fashion industry, and Ben Shaw, the
hot male model who introduced her to a world of pleasure. But their story is far from complete…Emmy Clarke is no quitter. Toughened by her experience working for fashion
heavyweight Fiona Stone, Emmy has come a long way from her country girl roots,
embracing her fast-paced and unpredictable life in New York City.
Though that life comes with more than a few complications.

First there’s the mystery of Fiona’s pregnancy, which may or may not involve Emmy’s
boyfriend, superstar male model Ben Shaw. Emmy has always known that Ben comes
with more baggage than she can handle—and not the Louis Vuitton kind. Yet Ben is the only man who has ever loved Emmy for who she is, and she wants nothing more than to do the same for him, even if it means forgiving his past and overlooking their wildly different lifestyles.

But when a shocking secret from Ben’s past comes to light, unraveling all of their
progress, Emmy must decide if their relationship is worth the fight, or if it’s time to ignore her passion for him and let go.

Bang Bang by Rachel Van Dyken @RachVD @InkSlingerPR #Excerpt


 
 
He was my best friend. 
Until he became my enemy. 
All within the span of one night. 
Bang, Bang, Bang, Bang. 
The rapid fire of gunshots became the soundtrack
to my life. 
This is the Mafia. Lines are blurred. Choices
are never black and white. And the life you thought you knew is… one giant lie. 
He was dead. 
And I didn’t want his life to be in vain, so I
tried to make something of myself. I tried and failed. 
Now he’s back. Alive. And he wants something… 

Me.  Nobody ever said the mafia played fair. 

Welcome to The Family.

EXCERPT
 
I wanted his lips
more than I wanted my next breath, but how long before those lips were taken
away? How long before my heart would get ripped from my chest a second time? I
almost didn’t survive the first — I knew I wouldn’t live through the second.
With a jerk I
pulled back and slapped him across the face. “How dare you!”
Ax swore and hit
the steering wheel. “I’m sorry, I’m sorry I shouldn’t have assumed—”
“Assumed, what?” I
yelled. “That I wouldn’t be completely pissed off? That I wouldn’t be
shattered!” My voice wavered. “Totally wrecked forever because I’ve been
mourning the loss of my best friend for five damn years only to find out he’s
very much alive and suddenly wanting to play the white knight?” My body started
to shake. “I died that day!”
Ax’s face twisted
with pain. “Amy, I had to protect you… at all costs I had to protect you.”
“Your protection
broke my heart,” I whispered.
He sighed, running
his hands through his hair before answering. “Ames, sometimes what’s the best
for us — is exactly what hurts the most.”
I refused to look
at him. Instead I looked down, down at my bare legs, at the outfit I’d almost
paraded about in before a crowd of horrible drunk men in order to make money. I
wasn’t the same girl he’d left. I was damaged in the worst way. Because by
saving me, Ax had taken away all purpose from my life. When I thought he’d
died, my only goal was to live because he hadn’t.
And now? Now the
shame of my situation was crippling.
Foster care kid.
Unwanted.
Unloved.
And completely and
utterly alone. Abandoned, even by my best friend.
“Five years, Ax.
And now you come for me…” I licked my lips. “I’m not vain enough to think it’s
because you can’t find anyone to warm your bed at night, and I’m not confident
enough to think it’s because you missed me so much you just couldn’t stay away.
What do you want?”
“You.”
“Try again.”
He swore and looked
away. “It doesn’t have to be like this. Had I known you were in this position—”
“What?” I snorted
then bit down on my lip to keep from crying. “You would have driven here
faster? You would have rescued me sooner? Pitied me more? Take your pick, Ax.
Now tell me the truth. Don’t start off this new-found relationship with a lie.”
He was silent for a
while then whispered, “You have something I need.”
“A brain?”
Ax’s smile nearly
took my breath away “Besides that.”
I pressed my lips
together and looked out the window at my dark and cramped apartment. “I have
exactly one stuffed animal from my old life, the one you gave me when I was
six. I have a Polaroid picture, a toothbrush, enough clothes to get me through
a week and a half of living, a hairbrush, two elastic hair bands — Do you see
where I’m going with this?” I sighed and ran my hands through my hair. “I have
nothing you need, let alone want. Believe me.“
Ax studied my face,
his expression softened as he said, barely above a whisper, “Let me be the one
who decides that.”
I looked away.
“Don’t do that,
Ames,” he murmured. “Don’t shut me out.”
“Five years, Ax.” I
looked straight ahead. “Five years where my tears were the only thing keeping
me company at night. I think you lost the right to tell me what to do.”
He swore. The car
door opened. I gasped as humid air filtered in. “What are you doing?”
“Getting out of the
car.” He shrugged and gestured at the building. “Going into your apartment and
packing you up. We’ll stay at a hotel tonight.”
I snorted. “My
apartment not good enough for you?”
“No.” He pulled a
gun from his jeans, thumbed off the safety, and held it out in front of him. “I
just hate getting woken up in the middle of the night with gunshots ringing
out, don’t you?”
“Yeah.” I gulped,
my eyes still trained on the gun.
“Guns don’t hurt
people… people do,” Ax said softly. “Remember that.”
“I do.” I met his
gaze. “Because in the end, it wasn’t the gun that broke my heart — it was you.”

Beautifully Broken (The Infinite Love Series #2) by Kira Adams #review


beautifully broken kira adams 18849994

97def-reviewimage15

Grief and the service of our armed forces were at the center of book 1. So if you have not read that then STOP go read it. We know Jacqueline and Lee have taken to being alone now and are friends with Parker and Maddy. This makes me happy. So no secret that Lee was the lime on top of my Corona and Jaqueline, well I hated her. I thought she knew Parker was with someone and she wanted him and pursued him. She did and for that I wanted to send her to Iceland to live a life alone without a coat. Now I have since moved on. I forgive Jaqueline because the author dives right into her real issues and it is like the light went on and I feel she is redeemed in my eyes. She has a

 

issue. This is another something not spoken about. Also I will give the author more kudos cause she has another issue even bigger than the first. I was so blown away at this reveal.

smiley wow

Now let us go to Hawaii. Lee is licking his wounds in a bad way and Maddy makes a friendly suggestion to hit Jackie up. Shocking! Lee goes to meet her. Are you thinking what I am? I know WOW WTF is gonna happen now?basketball 101

The author did an even better job on this book. It was darker and even more healing, in my opinion. I enjoy the dark and the drama filled pages of books like this. It is yet another great book and I want more from her.

My Forever (The Infinite Love Series #1) by Kira Adams


Grief and the service of our armed forces are at the center of this story. The author tells a tale that is heartbreaking good. I felt this family was in desperate need of help. Poor Madalynne. When her brother is killed she changed a great deal with her future goals now not so clear, Maddy needs to grieve. This loss coupled with the teen angst had me really emotional. Maddy and Parker are now facing a huge battle. Parker is still healing from his brothers suicide, which is bad enough and then the reveal. Why did he take his own life? SO gripping. 

 

 

The author takes you on a grief journey with these two lovers and their parents. The author gives the direct point of views of both Maddy and Parker. Their world is too familiar nowadays. We as Americans see this type of  event happen way too much. How can these two accomplish anything and be able to move on? Well the author takes you and guides you to the path towards healing. 

There are a few characters that play a pivotal role here like Jacqueline and Lee. The two of them come into the story and bring even more angst. I really loved this book and I hope for a lot more from the author

Author: D. Kelly
Release Date: July 7, 2014
Genre: Contemporary Romance




After almost four years, Michael Matthews has come face to face with the love of his life. To say it didn’t go quite as he envisioned is an understatement. Never in a million years would he have imagined that his best friend, Daniel, is the new man in Kate’s life. 

Once their explosive evening concludes and everyone goes their separate ways, Mike takes the time to calm down and plan his next move. If there’s one thing that calms him it’s Kate, even if it’s just memories of her. Mike has four hou

rs before he sees her again and gets to plead his case. Instead of sleeping, he spends his evening remembering every detail of their relationship from the beginning. 

Experience Mike and Kate’s love story from the start, all from Mike’s point of view. Find out why he left Kate in pieces and learn just how far he’ll go to make her fall in love with him all over again

I place my arm across her shoulders, pulling her in close. 
“Lexi, I’m drunk and horny. I don’t want to go anywhere to talk. I want to take you in the house and fuck you senseless.” She’s biting that damn lip of hers again and her breathing is rapid. I’ve got her, I know it, and I use the knowledge to my advantage. Leaning in, I pull her lip out of her mouth with my
teeth and bite down before releasing it.
“Stop biting your lip, Lexi. That’s my job tonight and it’s not the only part of you I want to bite. Do you like it rough? I won’t be gentle and I won’t call you. I’m not looking for a
relationship, Lexi. I’m looking for fun. Are you fun, baby?”  I love watching her squirm. She’s turned on; I can tell by the way she’s squeezing her thighs together. I draw my gaze slowly from her thighs back up to her face. Her chest is heaving rapidly and her eyes are glazed over in lust. I own her right now and I’m ready to have some fun.
Daniel hands us both shots but he doesn’t say anything, just smirks at me. After taking my shot, I stand up and hold my hand out to Lexi. 
“Are you coming?”
She pounds her shot, eyes glazed over with desire, and takes my
hand. “I sure the fuck hope so… multiple times.”

Fearless Love by Kennedy Kelly #review


fearless 20870781

7d502-review2bimage6

The book starts after the tragic loss of Miles Cole, Audra’s husband. It is a sad story because of how he dies. I wont spoil it, but it was a shocker. The characters are different in the fact that they are a little older, Audra is 35 and a professor. She has a lot of life to live and she is in that transitional stage of grief.  She is not a shut in, she goes about life and sort of just exists. I was glad that the author didnt create a great depression out of this character. She has some great friends that aid in trying to balance out her grieving process.   The book starts with Audra on the cusp of healing from the loss of her husband Miles.sad-quotes-with-images

 

I liked Audra and of course Jace and Jackson, her children. Now, there is her best friend Quinn who was comic relief for me. Audra has a nickname for Quinn; she calls her “hooker”. Not ideal, but for Quinn I think it fits well. I laughed anyway and that is all that matters.  It was good to have a funny and light character to balance both Audra and Brecken. When the girls go out she runs into Brecken and it turns out he took one of her classes. He is a few years younger, but lucky for me nothing huge. I am glad he was self-sufficient.

Audra was a professor but that aspect of her life wasn’t really spoken about much. She wasn’t an old English professor reading Hamlet so for that I was thankful. She was the perfect blending of smart, sexy and well read. It was an enjoyable read that made me smile even though grief was the main subject.

SAD letters

Brecken comes to give an estimate for work to be done on Audra’s house. I was sort of glad that she was doing a little remodel, I think it was helping the healing process. So hottie Brecken enters to give an estimate. Great story there. Some pretty  emotional parts, making it worth the read! The end of the book meant the end! Another book completed, no series or cliffhanger. There was yummy steamy scenes too.

I’ve always been a hard worker. I started working with my family’s company when I was 15 and still haven’t stopped. I am a wife, mother of two, hold down a full time job and am now trying to be an indie author.

My name is Tate. And all my life I have kept secrets. The type of secrets that haunt your dreams at night. I wake up hating the world, and I go to sleep knowing that the memories of my past will visit me-reminding me that I once was weak and a coward. I’ll never be that person again.

But there is one person who has made me think there may be more to life than hatred and revenge. Missy feels me with hope. But hope is what makes you weak, makes you think you can be better, and it’s a lie.

A man like me deserves to be alone forever because one day, I will come face to face with my past, and I will destroy it. Even if that means destroying myself in the process.

But what I didn’t know was that she has nightmares of her own-because of me. For the first time in my life, I want to save someone. But how can I save her when I can’t even save myself?

Blind Attraction (Reckless Beat Book 1) by Eden Summers @edensummers1 #Review


First things first Alana was different. The way she grew up was totally new and different. So being with her mom who deals with battered women has to leave scars. I found her vulnerable side appealing. She was well versed in men abusing and mistreating women but didnt have fear, so I liked her a lot. I think the author created a really lovable girl here. Alana came across as very willing to get out of her comfort zone and she wanted the experience. So for her to “want” to experience new things without fear was refreshing!

Mitch was the usual rocker. When you find his story reveal it was another “new” for me. I liked the band, the music and the usual groupies. I think the author did a great job with Mason, Blake, Ryan, and Sean.

 

I look forward to more of these guys and Kate. I think when the base is strong, like this book, it can go far. I totally recommend it if you like the band groupies, hot guitar players and love.
