Misconduct by Penelope Douglas #Review #BlogTour #NewRelease @BerkleyNAL @PenDouglas #Giveaway


Enter to Win a
Penelope Douglas Prize Pack!


MISCONDUCT
Penelope Douglas
Released Dec 1st, 2015
Berkley NAL


From the New York Times bestselling author of the Fall Away series who never fails to deliver a “powerfully written contemporary love story…” 

Former tennis player Easton Bradbury is trying to be the best teacher she can be, trying to reach her bored students, trying to forget her past. What brought her to this stage in her life isn’t important. She can’t let it be. But now one parent-teacher meeting may be her undoing…

Meeting Tyler Marek for the first time makes it easy for Easton to see why his son is having trouble in school. The man knows how to manage businesses and wealth, not a living, breathing teenage boy. Or a young teacher, for that matter, though he tries to. And yet…there is something about him that draws Easton in—a hint of vulnerability, a flash of attraction, a spark that might burn.

Wanting him is taboo. Needing him is undeniable. And his long-awaited touch will weaken Easton’s resolve—and reveal what should stay hidden…

Funny enough, my first review today was for WELCOME TO FOREVER, which featured a elementary school principal falling for the father of a student in her school, but was more of the heartwarming variety...MISCONDUCT...definitely did some 'warming" but was more towards the heat level of the room blowing up!  

Penelope Douglas knows how to write a couple that turns from sexy to addicting!  I don't think I was able to turn the pages fast enough.  

Easton was a great heroine, and one that I could see as a "friend".  I liked her strength of character and the fact that she wasn't a doormat heroine, she didn't hold her tongue when she had something to say!  I think that was what Tyler liked best!  Even if he didn't show it at first.  If you enjoy a good back and forth with some delicious sexual tension and dynamite sizzle between the sheets, then MISCONDUCT is the book to buy!

Penelope Douglas does sexy like no other!

SILVER BASTARD
Silver Valley #1
Joanna Wylde
Contemporary MC Romance
Released April 7th, 2015


First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Timesbestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels 

Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward—full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That’s when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he’d violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew.

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She’s been terrified of him ever since, but she’s even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She’s living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there’s only one man she can trust to go with her—the ex-con biker who rescued her once before.

Puck will help her again, but this time it’ll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...

Ignoring him, I settled back on my stool and surveyed the room. We sat in Becca’s section, and what I saw wasn’t making me happy. I knew she was a good waitress, but she’d just started here and it showed. Not only had she fucked up several orders, she didn’t quite seem to get the rhythm of the bar. That wasn’t my problem, though. My problem was that despite these fuckups, nobody seemed to mind. I had a nasty suspicion this was due to her perky tits, friendly smile, and tight little ass that seriously just needed a bite taken right out of it.
She really, really needed to get a new job—every man in the place wanted her. Including me. Especially me. I hated them. All of them. I shifted uncomfortably, because just like every time I shared a room with her, my pants had gotten tight. Torture. Becca was just so fucking fine on every level, and not just her looks. There was something about the way she carried herself . . . I couldn’t put my finger on it. Like she was dancing through life to some song nobody else could hear. Never met another woman like her—she wasn’t just sexy, she was a survivor and I admired that.
She’d grown up so much since the first time I’d met her. Bigger boobs, a nice fullness to her ass that was nowhere close to fat but would be perfect to hold tight while I fucked her. Her lips had plumped, too, and over the years she’d gained a sparkle in her eyes that turned her from pretty to 100 percent spectacular. Not to mention how she’d tasted. Nearly blew in my pants when I’d taken that mouth. Just the memory got me hard. Make that harder. Fucking basket case. When I’d pulled up to find her sitting outside with Collins, a thousand murder scenarios ran through my mind. And yeah, I know I covered that already, but if anything ever deserved empha- sis, this was it. Collins needed to die. I didn’t care how nice he was.
After that I’d throw Becca on the back of my bike and make a run for the hills . . . Okay, so there were a few problems with the plan, the top one being she hated me. Or she should—I’d certainly given her cause. Boonie nudged me. “Did I mention you’re pathetic? You want her, take her. Other- wise let it go because you’re an embarrassment to all men in general and to the Silver Bastards in particular.”


A little different from the Reapers MC Romances that I have come to love, SILVER BASTARD, as the author mentioned is more about the town as opposed to just the MC life, which I for one thought was awesome!  I enjoyed the interactions with the town's people and getting to know the hero and heroine outside of the MC lifestyle.  

Puck was...well...alpha at best...and a total bastard at worst...but I guess the title is fitting. He is definitely rough around the edges and doesn't know how to communicate with Becca about how he feels about her, so bossing her around seems fitting, but Becca is not about to become the woman her mother is, which is someone who lives for her man.  These two definitely butt heads but the making up, or the crazy hot sex everywhere and anywhere definitely makes up for the fights.  (or in Pucks head, him telling and expecting her to listen..haha)

I actually purchased the Audio Book of SILVER BASTARD and I listened to it and read some parts and I had so much fun with this new crew.  It only got me more excited for Painter's Book, can't wait to see what happens with him and Mel.

Joanna Wylde is quite the story teller and if you have yet to read any of her wild and crazy Reapers MC Romances...I suggest you get started NOW!! (Horse is still my favorite!)

DEEP
Stage Dive #4

Contemporary Romance


Positive. With two little lines on a pregnancy test, everything in Lizzy Rollins' ordinary life is about to change forever. And all because of one big mistake in Vegas with Ben Nicholson, the irresistibly sexy bass player for Stage Dive. So what if Ben's the only man she's ever met who can make her feel completely safe, cherished, and out of control with desire at the same time? Lizzy knows the gorgeous rock star isn't looking for anything more permanent than a good time, no matter how much she wishes differently.

Ben knows Lizzy is off limits. Completely and utterly. She's his best friend's little sister now, and no matter how hot the chemistry is between them, no matter how sweet and sexy she is, he's not going to go there. But when Ben is forced to keep the one girl he's always had a weakness for out of trouble in Sin City, he quickly learns that what happens in Vegas, doesn't always stay there. Now he and Lizzie are connected in the deepest way possible...but will it lead to a connection of the heart?

His laughter, it didn’t really sound the smallest bit amused. “Christ. You’re done here.”
“Ah, no. I’m actually not. Now see, this is where we have a problem.” I folded my arms. Then unfolded them because like fuck I’d look defensive. He was the one in the wrong, not me. “You’re not prepared to take me, or my feelings, seriously. What you want is to hide away in Mr. Too Cool for Commitment land and just play with my affections when it suits you. Okay, I’ve accepted that. But none of that means it’s okay for you to come in here and act like you’re the boss of me. None of it.”
“That so?” he asked, leaning down so that we were almost nose to nose.
“That’s so, baby.” I play-punched him in the shoulder, which it should be noted, I barely came up to. Okay, so maybe the alcohol on a mostly empty stomach had made me slightly/lots braver/sillier. “So why don’t you take your little caveman jealous tantrum bullshit somewhere else. See, I do this funny thing I like to refer to as whatever the fuck I want. Understand?”
He just stared.
“And as pretty as you are with your beard and your muscles, you are too damn tricky and . . . complicated and shit for me.”
“I am?”
“Yes, you are. Are you finally seeing my point here?”
“You bet.”
“Excellent. So take your hotness elsewhere, kind sir. I want no part of it!” Huh. I had so told him. Drunken bravado was the best.


Thank you NetGalley for my ARC...Whoop!

Can I just say...

FAVORITE OF THE SERIES!! That's right..Benji my love...DEEP was everything I wanted it to be and MORE! I flew through the pages...it was that good! Lizzy doesn't disappoint...she rocked...I think she is my favorite of the four girls, even though I love them all...she just scored a place on my Top Heroines List (very few have made it there), and Ben...I have been lovin him from afar for so long...Big, Grumpy man that he is...and the texts...LOVED that we got to see what they had been writing to one another during the other books...hee hee

Kylie takes you for a ride high on emotions and hormones (poor Lizzy..been there babe..TWICE...I know how you feel!) The ups and downs, the in's and outs, the 'Will Benji ever show me what's behind that beard' held me from page one through the end!

I loved, loved, loved DEEP and I SOOOO hope that Kylie will give Sam and Vaughn their own books...will just have to wait and see!

Definitely a MUST read series and DEEP makes the Top Tasty List of 2015!

THIS HEART OF MINE
Whiskey Creek #8 
Brenda Novak
Released March 31st, 2015

As the daughter of a hoarder, Phoenix Fuller had a tough childhood. So when the handsome, popular Riley Stinson became her boyfriend in high school, she finally felt as though she had something to be proud of. Phoenix was desperate not to lose him—especially once she found out she was pregnant. Yes, she might have acted a bit obsessive when he broke up with her. But she did not run down the girl he started dating next!

Unfortunately, there was no way to prove her innocence. Now, after serving her time in prison, Phoenix has been released. All she wants to do is return to Whiskey Creek and get to know her son. But Jacob's father isn't exactly welcoming.

Riley doesn't trust Phoenix, doesn't want her in Jacob's life. He is, however, ready to find someone to love. And he wants a good mother for his son. He has no idea that he's about to find both—if they can forgive the mistakes in their past…

Netgalley rocks when it comes to making me a happy happy lady! Thank you for the ARC!

Brenda has taken me on such a journey with this cast of Whiskey Creek characters, each book with a new couple but still shining on the bonds of friendship that is still strong among this group. I think I had been hoping that Riley would end up with Phoenix from the moment I read about their High School romance gone wrong, and I guess I wasn't prepared for how much I would truly Love THIS HEART OF MINE...yes...I was bawling within the first few pages...you won't find another heroine like Phoenix...her strength is unmatched, she kind of reminded me of Rachel Stone from DREAM A LITTLE DREAM by SEP (whom I LOVE).

Riley does a lot of growing up as well throughout THIS HEART OF MINE. He wasn't my favorite character after reading COME HOME TO ME, but I definitely found that I grew to really like him a lot and if nothing else, he is a wonderful father who loves his son unconditionally, and maybe he didn't always do what was best, he raised a baby at seventeen..I say kudos to him!

And Jake...LOVED HIM LOVED HIM LOVED HIM...The way he takes his mother under his wing...he is just a truly exceptional kid.

If you haven't started the Whiskey Creek Series yet...get your butt to Amazon or B&N and GET THESE BOOKS! Every time I open one of the Whiskey Creek romances, it further solidifies to me that Brenda Novak is not just a writer, but a story teller. 

THIS HEART OF MINE is a Top Tasty Read...and might just be Best of 2015!

A Sliver of Suspense...A Bite of Heat...And a Burst of Deep Emotion is the Recipe for BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW by Emily Minton!

I am always looking for a new MC Romance that will be different and keep me hooked, and BEAUTIFUL OUTLAW definitely kept my attention, and had me hooked at Bowie!  I really enjoyed the flow of the story, the family of characters (especially Nina), and the little hints at what's to come...which kept me turning page after page (sorry babies...watch one more episode of Dora...Mommy is almost finished).

As someone who can count the number of heroines that I actually LOVE, I have to say, I really liked Laura/Shay (Aka Fake Gwendolyn).  She had lived the last ten years as someone's Barbie, and once she is free, I could understand how she might not want to get together with another "Controlling" man, not that Bowie wanted to control her, he was just protective, and a bit possessive...can we say Alpha? 

There is no question that Bowie and Shay light up the sheets, and getting to see him as a caring/loving guy...well...just made me love him all the more.

All in all, I am going to be keeping an eye out for the next in the Savage Outlaws from Minton, and am always keeping an eye out for the next in her "Renegade Sons" series with Dawn Martin's!!

**Warning: there are some deaths..not too graphic, ANDDDDD the epilogue made me want to strangle a certain someone, who's name rhymes with "Rag"....(my poor Rachel...where is the sassy girl we know and love...Can't wait for her to come back to play)
