Bee Carter is no longer torn between her handsome billionaire and her tattooed bad-boy biker. After enjoying mind-melting, world-tilting sex and experiencing the pleasure of waking in her man's arms, she has finally made her choice. Or has she?

A violent early morning confrontation pits biker against billionaire and results in a shocking proposal: the discarded man is willing to overlook Bee's wild night with his rival in order to win her love. He will sacrifice his pride, his heart, and everything he holds dear to have her. Bee is unmoved by the offer … until the man she's chosen encourages her to accept.

Now Bee is yet again faced with an impossible decision: Does she pursue the man she craves, who has rejected her love, or does she settle for the man who will do anything for her?

Firstly, I am HONORED that Cynthia dedicated SINFUL REWARDS 8 to me (Lisa from Tasty Book Tours).  I can't tell you what it means to me when an author acknowledges my company and all the hard work I put in each day.  I personally don't care about the recognition for myself, but hope that what I do, promoting wonderful authors, helps to make their release a success. 

And..I have to say, SR8 was my favorite so far of the series cause I am head of #TeamHawke (Self-Proclaimed) and I lurve me some naked Hawke...and Cynthia wrote some very sexy...very naked Hawke (and Bee...yeah..she's ok...I guess I can share him)

SR8 is a pivotal part of the whole series, it kind of solidifies the Bee/Hawke relationship and I was fan-girl squealing that she finally is starting to realize that Hawke is the one...who gives a hoot if he doesn't have millions, or billions...he is the one she needs to be with.  and I will say, I am SOOO not a Nicolas fan...but he redeemed himself in SR8, and I hope he finds a nice girl to spend all his money and have little Richie Rich babies!!

Excited to see where Cynthia takes the next part of the serial...we shall wait and see!






 
We pass in front of the complex’s small private park, the green space wedged between the buildings. Nicolas won’t be there. I push away my apprehension. It’s late in the day, and he’ll stick to his usual schedule. My luck isn’t that bad.

The gate swings open and the billionaire strides out of the park, his lean body clad in a form-fitting black suit, white shirt, gray silk tie.

Shit. My luck is that bad. I stop abruptly, Hawke bumping into my back. Don’t see me. Don’t see me. Don’t see me, I silently plead, my heart pounding.

Nicolas turns his head toward us. I catch my breath, dreading this confrontation. His gaze meets mine and his already grim expression becomes more severe. “Bee.” There’s a wealth of want and need in his voice.

“Nicolas.” I attempt breezy and casual, achieve high and squeaky.

Hawke, the possessive bastard, hooks his arm around my waist. I twist, trying to break his hold before Nicolas notices.

I fail miserably, a heartbreaking pain flashing across the billionaire’s handsome face. My stomach twists. He cares for me, considers me a friend, as more, and I’ve hurt him. “I—”

“Is this why you refused to live with me?” He curls his top lip, baring his teeth. “Because you were fucking—”

Hawke rushes forward, lifts Nicolas off the ground, and pins him against the wrought-iron fence, his hands wrapped around the man’s neck, the barbed wire tattoo encircling his bulging right bicep rippling.

“Watch your mouth, Rainer,” he growls, leaning forward, staring directly into his opponent’s eyes. “That’s my girl you’re talking to.”

He’s a brute, hell-bent on protecting me, not caring that Nicolas is one of the most wealthy men in the country. My nipples tighten, my body responding to the primitive power in his stance, while the more rational part of me recognizes the danger in this situation.

“Hawke, release him.” I hurry toward the two men, the billionaire’s reddening face alarming me.

My former marine’s grip on Nicolas’s neck tightens.

“Let him go.” I slap Hawke’s shoulder. He glances at me, his eyes wild, his jaw jutted. “I want to speak with him.” I have to explain the situation to Nicolas, attempt to ease the pain I’ve caused him.

Hawke doesn’t loosen his hold on the billionaire. Nicolas’s legs kick, his eyes bulging. The damn man will kill his friend because of me.

CRASHING THE NET
Game On In Seattle #3
Jami Davenport
Releasing February 24th, 2015


Hockey star Cooper Black and professional party crasher Izzy Maxwell return in this sequel to Crashing the Boards.

Jealous boyfriends and glitzy parties can be a recipe for disaster. When the gorgeous yet controlling Cooper interrupts a party Izzy was paid to crash and almost ruins her career as a professional party crasher, Izzy kicks him to the curb. She learned early in life not to count on anyone, and she will not relinquish her independence, not even to a sexy-as-sin pro athlete who can melt her with one wink.

As the Sockeyes hockey team opens their inaugural season in Seattle, Cooper finds himself minus a girlfriend and plus a surly teenaged nephew. Cooper doesn’t want to be a surrogate dad, he doesn’t want to play in Seattle, and he doesn’t want to be alone. He misses Izzy, but seeing her with other men at parties turns him every shade of green. Regardless, he wants her back, and he’s willing to change, if only she’ll give him a second chance. Aware of her precarious finances, Cooper makes an offer she can’t refuse by hiring her to be responsible for his nephew when he’s traveling with the team.

Fearing Cooper isn’t capable of changing his control-freak ways, Izzy resists his efforts to turn their financial arrangement into a personal relationship. He needs a sweet, docile girlfriend, and Izzy cannot be that woman. Yet, when tragedy strikes, Izzy is there when Cooper needs her the most, and love has a way of getting what it wants, no matter the circumstances.

ROCK CANYON Series Ebook Bundle



Fact: Ryan Ashton has never been the hottest girl in the room.
Prim and proper doesn't really lend itself to sexy, but Ryan's okay with that. She's come to terms with her perpetual single status. Or at least she would have, if it weren't for her deliciously gorgeous boss.

Fact: Gregg Phillips is sex on a stick.

And Ryan knows that if she wants him to sit up and take notice of her, she's gotta take a chance … and ditch the frumpy librarian look she's been rocking for way too long. It's gonna take a whole new wardrobe and the help of the local sex kitten to make it happen, but Ryan's up for it. After all, true love is worth the trouble—and that's a fact.

Previously appeared in the anthology Kiss Me.

A Valentine from Gregg to Ryan and Vice Versa

                Ryan sat back and waited for Gregg to read the poem he’d written for her, the moths in her stomach going crazy with anticipated.
                Until…
                “Dear Ryan,
                You hair is like a shiny curtain of blood”-
                “Blood! What kind of poem is this, Gregg Phillips?” Ryan asked, scowling.
                “It gets better, just shush.”
                As Ryan looked on doubtfully, Gregg continued.
           
                “Your eyes as deep as the ocean blue and twice as watery.”
                “Okay, that’s it.” Ryan started to climb off the bed, but Gregg wrapped his arms around her waist and dragged her back.
                “Come on, if you leave now, you’re going to miss the best part.”
                Ryan rolled her eyes, even though he couldn’t see her face with her back to him. “Geez, I can only imagine what could top bloody hair and watery eyes.”
                “Just hang on.” Gregg cleared his throat and said, “And your touch is as soft as the wings of a dove.”
                Ryan relaxed against him slightly, leaning her head back on his shoulder. “That’s not so bad.”
                “See, I told you. Now, for the finale.”
                Ryan smiled a she waited.
                “I still can’t believe you belong to me, and the only thing that would make out love complete…”
                “Yeah?” She held her breath.
                “Is a pepperoni pizza and for you to rub my feet.”
                Laughing, Ryan struggled against him until she could get her hands on one of the pillows. As they wrestled around the bed, she got him on his shoulder and his head before he yelled uncle. She finally stopped gasping with mirth and caught the tender expression on his face.
                “What?” she asked softly.
                “I was just thinking that if I was going to write you a Valentine’s poem, it wouldn’t be fancy or elaborate. It would be simple and straight to the point.
                “Well, then,” she said, wrapping her arms around his neck. “Tell me what it would say.”
                Leaning down, Gregg kissed her lightly, before whispering across her lips. “I love you.”
                “Hm, me, too.”
                He paused in his kissing. “I don’t even get the words back, I just get a “me too.”
                Pulling his head down, she nipped at his lip. “Fine. Roses are red, violets are blue, no other man could satisfy me, the way that you do.”
                “Charming.”
                “Yes I am. Now will you hush up, and get on with it.”

THE TROUBLE WITH SEXY is the novella that starts the Rock Canyon series by Codi Gary, and I have only read the first of the series, with the others waiting patiently on my kindle, and YES, they have been moved to the front of the list!

The novella itself is a friends to lovers, or Boss to Employee romance and was so much fun to read...I love that even though Ryan does a little V-Day transformation, it was more for her own self than to really get Gregg (his attention...YES...His Love...NO...he already loved her!)

Gregg and Ryan are a great couple to start off the fun of the Rock Canyon Series, and got some definite sizzle between the sheets...OH YEAH!  The V-Day auction scene had me cracking up...and leaving me with a HUGE smile on my face!

I already sent Codi a Facebook message about Gracie and Eric...WHAT HAPPENED?!? I can't believe we have so many books to get through before I have my answers...and MIKE, what happens with Mike? I feel like the town gossip trying to get the 411...

Fun start to a great, small town series...Not to be missed!

The alpha leader of the notorious Sinner’s Tribe, Jagger Knight is all muscle, all biker, and all man. But somewhere inside this hard, tattooed outlaw, Arianne senses a kindred spirit—and she can’t ignore their tempestuous attraction. Can she beat him at his own game in a revved-up blaze of glory?

Bikers, Sex and Danger...
ROUGH JUSTICE has all the ingredients for a Page Turning Romance!

This was my first romance by Sarah Castille and I have to say...she is a great story teller! Characters are fleshed out and interesting...and might I add SEXYYYYY!  The MC Genre is a difficult one to write these days with all the competition but Sarah dove right in head first and came out with a great, action packed, emotional roller coaster of a ride kind of romance and I loved it!

I think my favorite part was watching Jagger fall for Arianne, he struggled with not wanting to love her to wanting to protect and keep her...It was a tough mountain to climb for him, but I think he ended up on top (no pun intended).

Arianne was a great heroine, biker tough with a soft feminine side she hid, along with dreams for a normal life with a husband and kids.  If I was in her situation, would I do as she did, probably.  Hard to trust someone who says one things and does another.  Being a woman in the club culture is something she has always had to deal with and she was trying to break away from that until Jagger came into her life...Arianne never stood a chance!

Super Sexy, great action with a hint of suspense...Made for a great read!  MC Romance fans will want to jump on for a ride!

USA Today bestselling author Mira Lyn Kelly cranks up the heat for two lifelong friends whose most secret longings come true in every delectable way.

Vivacious and successful, Ava Meyers is living her dream life, except for one thing: Ever since childhood, she’s been in love with her best friend . . . and she’s never admitted it. Back then, Sam Farrow was a damaged young man with a tough past. Now he’s supremely confident, super-sexy, and totally untouchable—until the night when Sam pretends to be Ava’s boyfriend to save her from some unwanted attention. In a moment of weakness, Ava finds out that a long friendship is no match for blistering sexual chemistry.

After years of denying his own feelings, Sam finds that one amazing night with Ava isn’t enough to chase away all the pent-up fantasies. So he proposes they spend a few weeks driving each other wild, exhausting their every desire, and then return to their perfect platonic relationship like nothing ever happened. But Sam’s plan has one fatal flaw: the part where they give each other up. Because the more they let go of their inhibitions, the more they’re tempted to never go back.

What a Fun, Sexy, Emotional Romance from Mira Lyn Kelly...A Definite Must Read of 2015.

This was my first in the Dare to Love series (and yes...I MUST go back and read TRUTH OR DARE), and I am so so glad that I am a huge Friends to Lovers romance fans or else I might have missed out on the awesomeness that is TOUCH & GO.

Sam and Ava, seriously...the sizzling chemistry that lingers on ever page was so enticing, I couldn't put this book down.  Sam was ...well...Just scroll down and have a peak...can we say OMG yum...if that was my best friend, I would SOOOO be having more naked slumber parties!  If was sweet, and sexy, and funny and I absolutely loved the amazing banter between Ava and Sam, or the foreplay if you want to be truthful....Some of the scenes (sneaking in the bedroom on Game Night...hysterical...and the packages) had me cracking up!  TOUCH & GO is like the best chick-flick you'd want to watch!

The heat is top notch from the start, the emotion is heart achingly beautiful and Mira writes a story line that will have you laughing and tearing up all at the same time!

So excited to see what is next for this series!




Hey Everyone! Thanks so much for having me over and helping me celebrate today’s release of TOUCH AND GO—YAY!! Okay, so it seems we’re looking for a bit of info about Sam Farrow, the awesomely hot Friends-to-Lovers hero from my second Dare to Love novel :-) Let’s see what I’ve got…



Name: SAM FARROW

Age: 29

Occupation: Wicker Park’s top contractor- Owner 

Physical Description: 
Tall and leanly built with calloused, work-rough hands. Tousled mess of sandy blond hair and a just-back-from-the-beach natural complexion. Most often found wearing a beat pair of faded jeans the same color as his eyes and a plain long-sleeve T-shirt that tells the story of a career rooted in manual labor without bragging about it. 

Likes (3): 
Hard earned success, hanging out with his best friends, and Ava (Most of all, Ava).

Dislikes (3): 
Bullies, Liars, and being vulnerable in any way.

Relationship Status: 
Serial one-nighters

Typical Friday Night: 
Dinner and checking out a new band with his friends, brief hook-up with someone who doesn’t look like Ava, shower, return to Ava’s apartment for a late night movie before heading back to his place to sleep alone. 

Drink of Choice: 
Beer (preferably Goose Island) 

Favorite Food: 
Pub grub and Lou Malnati’s pizza. 

Favorite Song: 
Whatever Ava’s signing off key that day.

Choice of Transportation: 
Cabs or the “L” at night, his truck for work.

Boxers or Briefs: 
Boxer-briefs. 

Best Memory to Date: 
It’s twenty years old and the one he’ll never forget. Seven year old Ava, stopping him on the street as he fled from his abusive, alcoholic father. In typical bossy-pants fashion, she decided he was going to be her new friend…and even back then, Ava got what she wanted. 

Words to live by: 
Relax.


Looking for a smidge more? How about a quick look into Sam’s head?

From TOUCH AND GO…
Jesus, his switch had flipped but good. Because this was Ava. And nothing in his admittedly vast and varied past had ever come close to burning him up the way she was.
How the hell was it even possible they could be like this together and still have managed to make it twenty years without giving in once or twice before?
A dark corner of his barely functioning rational brain knew.
Because it was Ava.
Because he’d never been willing to risk the most important person in his life for some casual screw.
But that wasn’t what was happening here.
They weren’t risking anything. This was just the culmination of a series of events that would never occur again. Stalker Steven needing a blunt intervention. A chemical reaction neither of them had expected when they came into contact. An unanswered question between two friends—two adults—who knew exactly what they were getting into, and who were solid enough in their relationship for a single night between them to be just that. A single night, granting a depth of intimacy that hadn’t been there before. One that would make them stronger.
Another breathless cry and Ava bit at his bottom lip, sucked it into her mouth as she rode his hand.
In the hallway. Of the apartment building her brother owned. Because he couldn’t stop.

Seriously, I loved writing Sam & Ava’s story, and hope you’ll give these two a read :-)
((Hugs))
