Cover Reveal EVERLASTING HUNGER by Brandy Dorsch @romancebookworm @tastybooktours

 
 
Temptation, thy name is Ian Lochlan.

That was the thought running through Ellie Dawson's head when her boss offered to escort her to a local vampire bar. Who would suspect that it was owned by him and that he would be the one to introduce her to all the pleasures of a vampire's kiss?

Passion is a different beast when vampires are involved and Ellie faces love from two very sensual creatures. Tragedy strikes and Ian relinquishes her into the arms of his best friend - Jasper. Ellie struggles with the feelings aroused in her by both men but she knows nothing can stop the Hunger.

Can she survive loving two men and the past that continues to haunt her?

WARNING:  This is a spicy romance novel intended for MATURE readers 18+.  Graphic sexual situations and language are used at the writer's discretion. 
Kissing her on the forehead, he says in a rough voice, “You are sin, Ellie and we might as well do it right.” 
He leans down and begins to kiss her, teasing her lips with little nibbles asking for entrance.  Ellie opens her lips and sighs as Jasper deepens the kiss.  Tugging the pins from her hair so it cascades over his hands, he reaches for the clasp of the dress at the base of her neck.  He pulls both her dress and bra down to her waist leaving her breasts exposed to the cool air.  Instantly they pucker and strain toward the sexy vampire that was devouring her mouth like a thirsty man.  Bringing his hands up to grasp her breasts, Jasper begins to pull and pinch the nipples almost to the point of pain then sooths the peaks with a gentle stroke of his thumbs.  Ellie groans with the pleasure of Jasper’s touch and arches into his hands begging for more. 
Pulling back from her lips, he looks down, sees the glazed look of passion on her face, and is envious of Ian at having the passion of this luscious woman.

Cover Reveal: WULFE UNTAMED by Pamela Palmer @AvonRomance

 
Wulfe knows the end-game is approaching.  The Mage are preparing to free the Daemon plague and Wulfe’s own small strain of Daemon heritage has been awakened. Worse yet, the beautiful human he once rescued needs saving again. Though Mage sentinels are the ones after Natalie Cash, Wulfe knows his heart is what she really should watch out for. He’ll do everything he can to protect her…and keep his distance. Running for her life while trying not to fall for this gentle, wounded warrior, Natalie’s world’s been turned upside down. But when the Mage begin to free the Daemons, it becomes clear that the Ferals’ only chance of defeating them is for Wulfe to use Natalie to harness the dark forces-and risk becoming evil in the process. The future of the world hangs in the balance, but can Wolfe endanger the woman he loves to save her?

Sneak Peak
 


“Harder, Wulfe, harder.”

He ground his hips into hers until sweat slicked their bodies, until they were both grunting and groaning, racing to the top of the highest peak. And beyond. Far, far beyond. As they approached that far-flung precipice, their gazes met, locked, and Natalie smiled as her orgasm began to roll through her, an arrow straight to his heart.

With her body contracting around him, her low, sexy cries filling his ears, he came with a roar, the beauty of the moment, the perfection, beyond words, beyond imagining.

And then she began to laugh, that throaty laugh that shot straight to his groin, as he collapsed, spent, on top of her. Not wanting to crush her, he forced himself to roll, taking her with him, still buried to his balls inside of her. Her golden halo of hair flew around her face as he righted, and she laughed again, then covered his mouth with hers, kissing him as if he’d just given her the world.

His heart swelled until he thought it would burst from his chest.

With his hands tight on her sweet ass, he kept them fused below while their mouths joined above. Goddess, he didn’t want to let her go. He wanted to stay like this, just like this, forever. Or at the very least, for days and days and days.

As one hand gripped her soft, perfect rear, his other slid up and down her slender back, love barreling through him, hard and fast. A golden thread began to weave around his heart, a thread that flowed outward to hers. The beginning of a mating bond.

Can reality TV handle a reluctant superhero bachelor, ten attention-seeking women, and one evil villain?

Dina Dell's career as a television producer has hit bottom. Desperate to save her job, she comes up with the idea for a reality show called I Want to Date a Superhero. But the only superhero bachelor she knows is the only man she's ever loved—Zane Blair.

Zane was once a normal human, but a traumatic childhood incident mutated him, along with Dina's sister and their friends. Dina was the only one who escaped without any superhero abilities. And while she might be the "normal" one, that only left her feeling like more of an outcast.

Her lack of powers put Zane in danger. Knowing that it was only a matter of time before someone used her to get to him, she left, breaking both their hearts in the process. After all the pain she caused him, will he be willing to help her now?

Then an old enemy emerges, putting Dina's plans on hold. When her superhero friends are the ones who need help, Dina just might learn that sometimes little Miss Average can be a hero too.

Reality Hero by Ashlynn Monroe was cool twist on the usual Reality Romance, with a Hero and Heroine who find true love again after letting it go the first time around. 
 
A group of rag-tag orphans make up the Superheroes, except for heroine, Dina, who wasn't changed.  The story revolves around an adult Dina, trying to save her career by putting the man she loves on a Reality show where he will date ten different women, in the hopes of finding love. 
 
Of course there are bad guys!  This is a Superhero Romance, and Zane or Mind Man, doesn't disappoint...he is mighty fine!
 
Cute premise, nicely laid out storyline and the characters are likable.  If you can't get out to see Man of Steel, pick up REALITY HERO.

She desires to be seen. He wants to watch.

Anna Sampson has a naughty secret. Every night, she slips into her neighbor’s yard and swims naked in his pool. She fantasizes that the dynamic young billionaire watches her nightly nude aquatics, his brilliant green eyes gleaming with lust.

She discovers this isn’t pure fantasy. Gabriel Blaine has been watching her via his security cameras, and now that he has returned to L.A., he doesn’t plan to stop. That’s all he wants—to watch. Anna knows she shouldn’t allow him and she certainly shouldn’t want more, but she craves Blaine’s attention, needing his gaze fixed on her body.

 

His touch enflames her desires.

Anna Sampson has allowed billionaire businessman Gabriel Blaine to watch her, all of her. And looking is all he’s done—until now. After giving him permission to touch her, Anna realizes she won’t be satisfied until she has all of this handsome and secretive man.

Soon she tempts him, shreds his control, and pushes him too far. Blaine’s reluctance to take her virginity frustrates Anna. He fulfills her fantasy, but what is their reality together?


 

A billionaire’s desires and a virgin’s wish to be claimed come together.

Two men want Anna Sampson. Gabriel Blaine is powerful, intelligent, the CEO of a successful company, and a billionaire. He’s watched her, touched her, encouraged her to become a strong, independent woman, a woman unafraid of her desires.

Now secrets from the past are exposed, threatening Anna’s freedom and safety. Will the man she loves stand by her side, or will he desert her, leaving Anna once again to face the future alone?

The searing climax of The Seen Trilogy.

Cynthia Sax, Author Of He Watches Me
Sharing A Meal With Anna

 
 
 

I believe what we eat says a lot about how we see ourselves, how we want others to see us, and what our emotional state is. When I’m trying to figure out what to cook for dinner, I’ll ask my hubby what he FEELS like eating. His dinner requests change depending on how his day has been.


The food my characters eat reflect their inner selves also. 


Anna, the not-so-innocent-yet-virginal heroine of He Watches Me, is a new graduate. She put herself through school, taking on student loans. Her job at a charity only pays minimum wage. She can barely cover her expenses.


So she is thrilled when the marketing fairies drop by the house she’s taking care of. She takes the product samples they leave to work and eats them for lunch. The food she eats reflects her inner self. She is simply surviving in life. She doesn’t nurture her body with healthy food and she doesn’t nurture her soul with healthy relationships and human connections.


As Anna opens her heart to Blaine and to others, developing relationships, she also eats better. She shares their food. Sharing food is a form of caring, of togetherness.


One of the people she shares food with is Camille or Goth girl. Goth girl is a rebel. She dresses in black, has piercings, tattoos, and a confrontational personality. Even her walk is defiant. 


Goth girl often battles with her coworkers because she brings curry to the office. Curry is fragrant, the scent of her lunch lingering in the small closed room for hours. Her more conservative coworkers complain loudly. This doesn’t stop Goth girl from bringing curry. I suspect the complaining makes her MORE likely to bring curry.


Curry is also spicy and very strong flavored. This reflects Goth girl’s unconventional personality and inner strength. Goth girl doesn’t care about what other people think.


In contrast, Michael Cooke, the office golden boy, cares very much about what other people think. He’s careful to eat only politically correct vegetarian, organic food. This food is sourced from the best restaurants. He doesn’t look at the price of the meal, doesn’t think about the sourcing of the ingredients. He is the opposite of Anna.


Do your meals change depending on your moods? What is your favorite meal and when do you eat it?

Well, I am just going to start with a warning...THESE ARE STEAMY...OMG...You will either need a cold shower or...well...You can pick your own option two, cause your panties will be on FIRE!!
 
The SEEN Trilogy by Cynthia Sax is a three part erotic romance where you will have the same hero, Gabriel Blaine, and heroine, Anna Sampson, throughout all three novellas.  By page three of HE WATCHES ME, you will be so invested in Anna and "Blaine", in wanting to know, Who, What, When, Where and Why...I read all three in manner of a few hours, I just NEEDED to know what was going to happen, and needing to move on to the next steamy encounter between these two...and OMG...do they fog up the kindle screen.
 
Anna is a lonely woman who seems to just skirt right by people, nothing fancy or different about her to the ordinary eye, but little does she know, that to Gabriel Blaine, she is everything.  OMG...MEGA SWOON...Gabriel "Blaine" made my heart melt.  He was like a Prince Charming...well...ok...a LOT kinkier than Prince Charming, but you get the idea.  More like a Richard Gear in PRETTY WOMAN, but add some sex toys and a couple of guys who like to "watch".
 
Could have done without Michael, or as I refer to him "Michael the Douche", and I am excited to see if Goth Girl will be getting her own book.  You will certainly find a few of the secondary characters quite interesting, and probably will be intrigued to find out what their story is...well...if Cynthia plans to write it!
 
Anna and Blaine don't have your "Typical" romance, but they certainly find something so special with each other and I will tell you, my heart gave a little extra swell for these two!!
 
Definitely recommend the Trilogy to my Erotic Romance Lovers!!

(5) FIVE Complete Autographed Sets of the Trilogy
(3) THREE Digital Sets of the Trilogy
Enter Below
 
 
Married and settled in New York City, Ryan and Julia Matthews seek to start their family and enjoy their idyllic newlywed life together. Julia’s high-profile job at Vogue and Ryan’s promising career in medicine will surely set them up for everything they could ever want, their only obstacle seems to be finding enough time to spend together.
When a scuffle at Ryan’s hospital puts his life in danger, a colleague steps in to save him but is critically injured in the process. In a heroic and unwavering effort, Ryan manages to save her, but her injuries irrevocably change her life forever.
Though Julia’s gratitude urges her to befriend the woman, she feels pushed aside when Ryan, feeling indebted and laden with guilt, befriends the woman during her recovery. Julia puts on a good front, but as time goes on her resolve vanishes as the friendship begins to infiltrate what little time the couple has together and she is reminded of how her own relationship with Ryan began.
In Ryan’s mind he is doing nothing more than supporting a friend’s healing and is angry at Julia’s apparent lack of trust, despite his attempts to console her. When events get too much for her, a heartbroken Julia flees without telling her husband her destination or even if she will return.
When grief pushes him beyond what’s humanly possible and he is on the verge of losing his mind, he is forced to decide how much he will pay for his new friendship and Julia, what she is willing to endure in order to spare herself the unspeakable pain of watching someone else try to replace her in Ryan’s heart.
Join Ryan and Julia in the heart-wrenching conclusion to the unforgettable story of an incredible love; worth every single sacrifice…
For there is nothing more sacred than… A Love Like This…
 
 ~~~~~
As in the first two books of the trilogy, we follow Ryan and Julia down their very bumpy ride to what we hope will be happily ever after. At the end of book two, Don’t Forget to Remember Me, Ryan and Julia have found their way back to each other after Julia’s accident and memory loss. They have even managed to survive her remembering the loss of their baby. In fact, their love only grows stronger. The newlyweds settle into married life and endure the struggles of Ryan’s demanding residency at St. Vincent’s emergency room in lower Manhattan and Julia’s success at Vogue. There seems to be always something in the way of these two people’s happiness. Among them are an overly enamored colleague, long hours and a growing publishing career.
These two people have an undeniable and undying love that reaches out of the pages and grabs you by the heart. It is almost painful to watch them go through one crisis after another as they try to cling to each other.
There were several fringe characters in the first two books that I had hoped we would see more of. I was disappointed when we saw very few. One of them was Louie; I thought she could have played a bigger part. There was talk about Julia’s friends and plots that mirrored Ryan and Julia’s, but there was very little showing. There were points in this book that were predictable and frustrating.  Their actions would have been true and believable for most couples, but for the Ryan and Julia that Kahlen created in books one and two, they were hard to swallow.
There were many edge of your seat scenes. With some of those fringe characters really getting into the action, I could not make it through the pages fast enough. There were scenes told like television cop shows, they were very compelling.  Julia has a feisty side that I liked.  I was ready to roll up my sleeves and stand right behind her. There were references to real life landmarks that were beautifully done.
Ryan’s work in the ER was accurately portrayed.  You could feel how worn down he was when he came home to Julia. Julia’s sadness came through on each page. I could feel Julia’s frustration level. She felt like they never talked anymore, they either were sleeping or making love. It was hot and steamy and singed the pages, but I can see where she was missing her best friend.
I enjoyed Ryan being rough around the edges despite his despair. Seeing Julia standing up for her own feelings was refreshing, but her timing was terrible.
Even though this was not my favorite book of the trilogy I would still read it.  I would not have wanted to miss how Kahlen wraps up this true love story.

TBT: SURRENDER TO ME by Ella Jade #Spotlight #Giveaway


 Feed the Addiction
Ella is giving away a $10.00 Amazon Gift Card
Enter Below
 
 
 
What happens when a Dominant falls for his not-so-submissive attorney?
Martin Abrams, owner of Master M’s BDSM club, has become unfulfilled with his lifestyle. Ever since his sub, Gracie, left to marry her true love, Martin has lost his way. Living the life of the head Dominant in his circle isn’t as appealing as it once was. Something seems to be missing.
Sassy lawyer Arianna Covington relocates to New York City after a humiliating divorce. She’s looking for a fresh start when she agrees to become Martin’s exclusive attorney. She’s intrigued by his domineering personality and wants to know why women kneel at his feet.
Their attraction is undeniable despite Ari’s initial beliefs that she will never submit to Martin’s desires. But Martin is up for the challenge. Arianna is more than he ever imagined in a woman. He vows to claim her heart, with or without the games. Who will surrender first?
Featuring Cade and Gracie from Make Me Stay.
Content Warning: contains explicit language and graphic sexual content
Genre(s): Contemporary Romance/BDSM
 
Sneak Peak
 
“All the subs act that way around you?” Arianna asked.
“It’s the only way they know. It’s what’s expected of them.”
“I don’t understand how any woman would bow down like that. It’s not normal.”
“Maybe not for you.” Martin understood Arianna’s position. Most who didn’t participate in a Dominant and submissive relationship didn’t get it.
“It’s degrading. She can’t use the phone. She’s a grown woman.”
“Arianna, this is a lifestyle you can’t possibly comprehend because you know nothing about it. A submissive gets just as much as he or she gives. The arrangement they enter into with a Dom is consensual. Roxy is not forced into being here. Her Dom respects and cares for her. She has a very good life.”
“He punishes her.”
“When she disobeys. It’s in her contract.”
“A contract that can’t possibly be enforced in court.”
“Spoken like a true lawyer.” He finished his scotch. “The contract is to protect them both. It lists what is expected of a sub and what the Dominant’s responsibilities are. They outline hard and soft limits. We create a safe, sane, and consensual environment, and that contract maintains trust between the two parties. As long as it is upheld between the parties involved that’s all that matters.”
“To each his own, I suppose.” She shrugged. “I’m your real estate attorney. What you do here is none of my business.”
Then why are you here, kitten?
“I’m very open, Arianna. If you have questions, I’ll be happy to answer them. People should be educated in my lifestyle. It isn’t as uncommon or bizarre as you may think.” He reached for her hand. “I hope you won’t judge me without getting to know me.”
“Um, no.” She looked down at their joined hands. He liked the way her cheeks turned colors when he flustered her. “Of course not. This whole environment is different. It’s going to take some getting used to.”
“I understand.” He ran his thumb over the soft skin of her hand. “If you’d prefer not to meet here anymore—”
“It’s not a problem.”
“Very well.” He smiled because as he suspected she wanted to be there. “Will you join me for dinner?”
Martin couldn’t remember the last time he’d asked a woman to have dinner with him. He usually just summoned a sub when he was in the mood for company. Gracie was the last woman he’d spent any time with at all. Perhaps it was time to explore his options. Obviously, Arianna would be different than the women he dealt with, but he liked the change. When Gracie left him for Cade everything changed. He hadn’t been interested in another sub. As a matter of fact, he hadn’t been interested in another woman until now.
“I’d love to join you for dinner, Mr. Abrams.”
“I’d like you to call me Martin.” Allowing people to use his name wasn’t a privilege he granted often, but everything was different with her. He stood from the bar and picked up her briefcase. “I hope you like Italian. I ordered enough for six people. I wasn’t sure what you would want.”
“Italian is fine.” She took his extended hand and walked to the back of the club with him. “Why didn’t you just wait and ask what I would want?”
“I’m not used to asking.” He motioned for her to take a seat in the huge u-shaped booth that overlooked the Manhattan skyline.
“Oh, Martin.” She giggled. He liked the way his name tumbled off her lips. “You have a lot to learn about non-submissive women.”

Giveaway
Candis is giving away a Fabulous Beach Bag
Full of GOODIES!
Enter Below!
 
 
 
A man who doesn’t like change . . . The Wilder family is something of a Sweet, TX institution: between their yearly BBQ blow-outs and their Hardware and Feed store, they’re an institution—an institution that ex-marine Reno Wilder has tried to preserve, in honor of his lost loved ones. But it seems like he’s the only one who’s got any respect left for traditions when a new TV makeover show rolls in to renovate Sweet to bring in more tourists. Everyone is pleased except Reno—and this cowboy is determined to keep everything just the way he likes it.

A woman who wants to change everything . . . Inquisitive. Stubborn. Smart. Drop dead gorgeous. That would be makeover show host and designer, Charlotte Brooks—the woman Reno has declared war against. And yet, he can’t seem to keep away from her, or to get her off his mind. Charlotte isn’t afraid to back down from a challenge—of any kind—and she’s promised to prove to Reno that change can be sexy, hot, and very, very sweet, if Reno and Charli learn to let go of their pasts and grab hold of a future full of promise.
