Posted in Book Titles by

~ Book 3 in a series but can be read as a stand alone ~ 

Is it possible to flee your past? Or does it sit patiently, waiting for your return? 

Tired of traveling the world in order to escape reality, Bri Hunter has finally found a place to call home. Settled into Santa Barbara, close to her brother and cousin, she’s ready for a little peace. Wanting to avoid the tormenting, incessant calls she receives, she throws herself into helping her sister-in-law’s growing floral business. It doesn’t take long to run smack into the one guy she’d given up on ever seeing again. 

It’s been five years since Josh Tucker has sobered up, left his Hollywood lifestyle far behind, and sheltered himself in his horse ranch in Santa Ynez, California. If it hadn’t been for his family, he probably wouldn’t be around to tell his story. When a beautiful brunette shows up at his cousin’s vineyard, something in her spiteful eyes tells him their paths have tangled together before. 

As Josh begins to uncover who Bri is, he finds himself falling for her. Will he find a way to convince her to trust him? And will she be able to let go of the past and move forward? When a traumatic event strikes, Bri will have to decide if she’s going to let life continue to cripple her…or set her free.

~ Book 2 in a series but can be read as a stand alone ~ 

What’s a girl to do when the one person she’s been forewarned about is the only one that her heart desires?

Leah Valdez is a sassy, intelligent, hard-working woman whose beauty shines from both inside and out. Friends and family have always come first, but it’s time for her to start thinking about her own future.

Stefen Hunter is a rich, charming, sexy playboy. With seemingly no effort on his part, countless women flock to him. That is, until he meets Leah. He can’t understand why it’s so difficult to win her over or what it is about her that intrigues him so much.

When an unfortunate event intertwines their lives, Leah finds herself in a war between her thoughts and desires. To forgive, and ultimately trust, Stefen, she will have to put her heart on the line. After what he’s put her through, she’s not sure she’s willing to do that.

As compassion meets resistance, will Stefen be able to step out of his comfort zone and accept that he can become the redeemed man worthy of Leah’s love? Is Stefen and Leah’s connection strong enough to withstand An Exceptional Twist?

Chasing Me (Shaft on Tour Book 3) by Cat Mason @BTSPromosPR @cat_mason_2014 #review

Posted in Book Titles by

  chasing me 81lrQEcCZPL._SL1500_
review Image1

“Temptations, betrayal, and lies are all mixed with booze, tattoos, sex, laughs, and love as the Shaft takes stage after stage.”

“Everyone has a story my pages are just a lot darker than most.” 

“Lies and betrayal mix with banter, sex and bacon as Shaft prepares to release their new album and blow into the mainstream.’

If you have no read book one and two then YOU MUST STOP go grab them and enjoy! If you read books 1 and 2 then you know they are completed stories. So in other words the author wrote book one for Gray and Daisy and then was Aiden and Camaron. So it is a treat to have NO drama with cliffhangers. Just a simple bacon loving guy.

NOW here in his own book, the one I really adore, Hunter. Oh my oh my… since book 1 I have been drooling over him. Not only is he cute, funny and BAD, but he is lovable and adorable. So being my favorite I have to scream his praises.  I wanted him with Chase because she was his ideal.. So now it is Hunter’s staring role. There is a great treat in store for you all. A paternity issue, a love life, a dream and a family. All of which Hunter, my man is so deserving of. 

 

 

Just imagine a bunch of little Hunter babies who are yelling bacon all over the house. I would love it. Well I’m too old but if I was younger Id take a chance on my cholesterol levels and ride the hog for Hunter. 

Now let me say this series is a wonderful addition if you enjoy glamour and rock style. I would say if you were a Sinner fan then this is another series you will totally fall in love with. There is a lot of steam, but nothing too racy. That is why I love this author, she wrote a romance for some unbelievable rock stars.

Deciding Tomorrow playlist 
 
 

I gasp as our tongues massage together, deeply. Our mouths move faster, and the passion surges. Palming his backside, I draw him closer, his hard-on pressing on my abdomen. Brent advances toward me until I’m flush with the cool tiles covered in droplets of water. His hands find mine and lift them above my head, threading our fingers together, as he continues to assail my mouth with his. Instinctually, my hips tilt upward—seeking him, wanting him, ready for him—while our slippery bodies slide in unison. 

Releasing one hand, Brent trails his digits down the front of my body. He plunges his fingers between my legs and into me. His thumb skillfully circles one of the most sensitive parts of my body, causing my breath to catch. Endless slow moans erupt from the center of my voice over and over while the water showers us in a steady lullaby. 

“You like that?” Brent purrs against my mouth. “When I touch you like this?” He circles his thumb faster to accentuate his point. 

“Yes,” I stutter as he continues to torment me with his touch. “I love it.”

“Tell me again,” he demands. 

“I fucking love it.”

He kisses me harder, more forceful, in a similar rhythm to his hand. Letting go of our joined grip above my head, he kneads my breast, consuming more of me. I hang on to his shoulders for dear life as the euphoric sensation builds with every movement across the raw nerves on my body. Brent pinches my nipple between his thumb and forefinger. I clamp down hard and let go, releasing guttural moans across his lips. Pulsing around his fingers, I lose my ability to hold my own weight. 

My breaths slow, and I open my eyes. I find his dilated, full of lust and hungry in so many ways.

Renee Ericson is the author of the These Days series. 

Originally from the Midwest, she now resides in a small town just outside of Boston with her husband and three children. 

Most winters, Renee can be found on the slopes of the White Mountains skiing with her family. During the summer months, she likes to spend every spare minute at the beach soaking up the sea air. All those moments in between, she is talking to imaginary characters and caring for her children.

To Catch a Falling Star by L. Duarte @LDuarte77 #review

Posted in Book Titles by

18801973

“The paths of our journeys cross with unlimited sorrows, unreachable goals, and unattainable dreams”

This is book 2 of the series. It takes a fast forward to five years after book 1. The focus is Melody, the sister of Will from book 1. I know in book one I was harsh on the character, but once I got to know her, I loved her. She came across to Portia as being very opinionated. This doesn’t change. She is still mourning the death of Tim, her husband who was killed. The thought of her having Ella alone ten days after Tim is mortally wounded in Afghanistan is horrific. The fact that she has not come very far is shocking to me. I liked how Mel seemed content as she ritualized her life. She gave herself a set time each day to talk to Tim, pray, or grieve. It is a heartbreaking story, one that I found so touching. 

“I follow him. I’ve followed him since I was five. We met during my first week of kindergarten. I fell in love”

oh my goodness

Her life is, in my opinion, not being lived the way Tim would want. She does so much for others, I guess keeping busy was her way of not thinking. Her partner Lucas is in this book playing a very important role for her. This is another platonic friendship that is sort of the author’s style. In the same way very similar to Tarry and Portia. Portia opens her home to Tarry. She play a minor role as does Will in his struggles dependency.  

The way they get together is what I call divine intervention. Sometimes fate jumps up placing people where you need the in your life. This for me was the moment when I though God is here telling her to live. The messages were there sometimes louder, bolder, and as big as a neon sign. Tim being the competition for Tarry was hard. How do you compete with memories? How can she come to realize that she has got to live?

follow your dreams 2

“Please forgive me Tim, I whisper. A gut-wrenching pain swamps my heart” Words like these will keep you thoroughly entertained. There are so many passages that made me appreciate this author. Another quote “Why does he have to be so handsome and carnal. I swallow hard. Every pore of his body emanates sensuality” OMG swooning big time for Tarry.

So when the court orders Tarry to complete court ordered counseling sessions and stay sober, he turns to best friend Portia. Dan, her father in-law is pivotal in Tarry’s sobriety. This is where the brilliant faith aspect comes into the scheme. Dan is away with Maritza, so Melody does the beginning sessions with Tarry. The old Mel comes on like a bulldozer “It’s okay to have a bad day. But, try to be present in your next session, will ya? Or I’ll drop your ass. I’m not here to waste time”  Immediately you are thrust into the Mel takes no prisoners arena.  I enjoyed the fact that the characters each had a distinctive personality.

The best parts of Tarry’s recovery were his sessions with Dan. The way Dan grins just annoys Tarry to no end. He is so unfamiliar with faith that when Dan says “So I ask you this morning. What melody has heaven whispered in your heart today” Tarry is the opposite of Dan so he really needs a push to find his purpose.

There is a lot to learn for those of you never knowing an addict. He struggles every minute to stay sober. Most of the time his withdrawals seem so real that I visioned Tarry scratching himself in a fit of need. The descriptions are just amazingly vivid. You as the reader will be thrown into Tarry’s love for getting high as well as his struggles to stay clean.

This is a brilliantly plotted book. I am so glad to have read it and call the author my friend. I believe in her so much. I am feeling proud knowing this is yet another great novel. PLEASE support the indie authors and share your reviews, thoughts and then click recommend!  This is another read it right now type books.

It’s been five years, but Melody still mourns the death of Tim, her soul mate and beloved husband who never had a chance to hold their daughter. Mel and her daughter have the love and support of Mel’s brother Will and sister-in-law Portia, the famous Oscar-winning actress-turned-mother. Mel works three jobs and mothers Ella, but she spends her mornings facing the demons of her grief. Her faith and her father, the pastor, helps Mel grapple with her grief.

Portia opens her home to her childhood friend Tarry Francis, a successful, womanizing rock star. He’s trying to beat his addictions. Again. He’s going through the motions, but needs his drugs and rowdy lifestyle to keep his childhood pain in check. Tarry’s privileged upbringing contrasted with his cruel parents, who starved him of affection. Who can fix that?

Mel is forced to counsel Tarry, but he’s so damaged and unwilling to try that she’s not sure anyone can help fix him. She gives him a special coin. Could this open their hearts to each other and fuel their love? Is this a step forward that will free them to catch the falling stars? Or will Mel remain faithful to her first love?

Rich in meaning, To Catch a Falling Star is about two lovers whose hearts struggle to open to find the magic of the journey of love. It’s a joyful and passionate story about overcoming challenges to lead us to love and the fulfillment of our dreams.

To Catch a Falling Star is the stunning follow-up novel to L. Duarte’s debut Chasing Stars about Portia and Will’s romance. A spiritual and playful read, L. Duarte has provided readers the chance to believe in healing a broken heart.

Her love for reading has sparked a new love for writing and she currently has a few more projects in the works. When she is not spending her days writing you can find her playing with her kids, attending car shows, going on motorcycle rides on the back of her husband’s Harley, snuggling down with her new favorite book or watching any movie that Vin Diesel might happen to be in. She hates being serious and is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old, because five year olds know how to enjoy the simple things in life and how to always have fun.

Excerpt #1 Prologue (adult content)

We arrive in Miami, check into our hotel, and immediately decide to check out the Miami night life.

Wearing a barely there silver, backless, halter dress and heels I was ready to dance the night away.  At five foot seven inches with my heels, my legs are going on for miles tonight.  I put my hair in a loose up do, frame my eyes with a smoky shadow, and add a clear lip gloss to finalize my look.

Brayden is dressed in his typical baggy jeans and t-shirt.  He is six foot tall, more of a lanky build with a slight beer belly forming, which is especially noticeable when he stands next to a very toned and muscular Ryder.  His dirty blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, which hold such depth they make me melt every time he looks at me.  We both love to go out.  We met four years ago at a bar in Charlotte while we were both celebrating another finished semester of college.

We arrive at Cameo nightclub in downtown Miami and immediately hit the dance floor.  There is something about the atmosphere of a club that just takes over my senses.  The bodies pressed together, each finding their own rhythm as the vibrations from the bass reverberates through the crowd.

Having Brayden up against my back side running his hands all over my body as we move to the music is enough to bring my nipples to attention rubbing against the thin scrap of fabric, otherwise known as my dress.  His hands roam, as we dance, moving the back of my barely there dress over the hills of my ass, leaving me exposed.  My bare backside now grinding against the erection of his jeans is delightful friction.  He then places one hand upon my breast and begins to tease it, while he plunges two fingers, from the other, into my hot core.  I am so turned on I don’t care who sees me.  When I am almost ready to explode, he stops.

Grabbing me, he leads me to a back hallway, where he quickly pushes me up against the wall, freeing himself and pounding into me.  Raw, needing passion, transfers between us as I have an earth shattering orgasm.  Brayden follows right behind me.  As we straighten ourselves, he smiles and whispers, “I love that you never wear panties, baby.”
