Simmering Ice by Veronica Forand & Susan Scott Shelley


Physical therapist Annie Davidson is great at her job but unlucky when it comes to love. She’s just out of a bad relationship. A really bad relationship. All she can do is focus on work...that is until she runs into professional hockey player Alec O’Meara. She’s a touch insecure and doesn’t understand why he’s interested in her.
Despite being one of the biggest players on the team, right winger Alec O'Meara prefers finesse over force. After the tragic death of his wife, he likes to keep things loose on and off the ice. But the red-headed Annie challenges his beliefs and makes him think about taking their relationship to the net.
The passion and fun they share is addicting and makes them long for more. But her insecurities that she's not good enough, and his anxiety over a long-term commitment will keep them apart, unless they can find a way to break through the defenses they've built around their hearts.

Review: Trancing the Tiger by Rachael Slate

Trancing the Tiger
Synopsis

Delve into a world steeped in tradition and superstition…
After her parents become infected with the Red Death, Lucy Yeoh flees to Malaysia seeking answers. Everything in this closed-off section of the world is paradise—from the lush tropical climate to her sexy new neighbor, Sheng…who just might be delusional. He claims the Plague God unleashed the Red Death and only a circle of Chinese Zodiac spirit animals can cleanse the Earth. Even more, he insists she’s one of them: the Rabbit. Long furry ears and fluffy bunny tail included.

He’ll show her how to fight to save the world…
As the Chosen of the Tiger, the burden of restoring balance to the world has fallen onto Li Sheng’s shoulders. When he discovers that the ally he’s long awaited, the Dragon, is actually just the Rabbit, Sheng is quick to dismiss Lucy. If only she’d stay dismissed. Lucy’s Rabbit refuses to cooperate, undermining the authority of his Tiger at every turn…and seducing him to the limits of his darkest desires. He’s not supposed to want her. Not when he needs the spirit circle complete and she’s their weakest link.

She’ll show him a love worth fighting the world to save…
Sheng’s enemies draw closer, and not everyone wants Lucy alive. Together, they’ll have to navigate a treacherous world where a line between duty and their hearts has been drawn between them. They must either sacrifice one, or find a way to surrender to both.



Review 
Trancing the Tiger is a clever, smart, and refreshing paranormal/fantasy romance story. Rachael Slate delivers a story that is outside the box. Lucy Yeoh heads to Malaysia after her parents are infected by the Red Death. She's on a mission to hopefully find a cure that will hopefully stop this plague that has infected so many people. When Lucy finds out the cure can only accessed by a circle of the Chinese Zodiac spirit animals, and she is the rabbit, what ensures from here is a story that unlike anything else. Along the way Lucy meets Li Sheng, an alpha in every sense of the word, who happens to be the chosen person of the Tiger spirit. There is an undeniable attraction and a constant push and pull that leaves you eager to turn to the next page, wondering what will happen between these two.

There's so much more to this story besides that. Secrets, revelations, and more are reveled in this story, creating an epic journey. Rachael Slate does a remarkable job with Trancing the Tiger. It's incredibly well written and the fantastic detail she brings with the Chinese Zodiac makes you want to learn more about it after you finish reading this book. I can't wait to read the next book in this series and see where she takes these characters next. Trancing the Tiger is one book that needs to be on the top of your TBR list. Don't miss out on this great story.

Charlotte

Ever since I was a little girl, I’ve taken care of everyone around me, including my flakey older sister, Anna.  When her choices make us targets of the Devil’s Rejects Motorcycle Club, I grab her and run like hell.  A new city, a new job, a new life.  It’s almost perfect – and then I meet Ryker.

He’s gorgeous, rugged and too cocky for his own damned good.  But he’s a biker – exactly the type of man I’ve been running from.  I have no business getting involved with a man like him.  Too bad I can’t get him out of my head.

Ryker

As V.P. of the Kings of Korruption MC, I know all about violence and loss.  In my world, getting involved with a woman never turns out well.  Avoiding commitment isn’t something I have to work at – it’s just a way of life.  During a time of personal tragedy, I meet Charlotte, creating a bond that runs soul-deep.  I’m drawn to her kindness and her beauty but there’s no place for her in my world.  I have to let her go.

Finding Charlotte battered and bloody late one night, I go against my own beliefs, making it my mission to protect her.  The Devils are out for blood and they want Charlotte’s.  Maybe I can’t keep her but I will put my life on the line to keep her safe or I face losing the only woman that’s ever made me feel alive.



About The Author:


Geri Glenn is the debut author of the Kings of Korruption MC Series. The first book, titled Ryker, is releasing on August 14, 2015, and can be read as a standalone. 

Geri has been an avid reader for as long as she can remember. She can usually be found curled up in a comfy chair, reading on her iPad both day and night. Geri is an incurable night owl, and it's not uncommon for her to still be awake, reading at 4 am, just because she can't put the book down!

Geri loves all genres of fiction, but her passion is anything romantic or terrifying; basically anything that can get her heart pumping. This passion has bled out onto her laptop, and became the Kings of Korruption. 

Writing this first book in the series knocked off the #1 think on Geri's bucket list, and publishing it has been an absolute dream come true. She hopes you love the Kings as much as she does.

Cover Reveal: Love Me Like You Do ( A Love Me Series) by Jaime Russell



COVER REVEAL

 Love Me Like You Do (A Love Me Series)
AUTHOR: Jaime Russell
RELEASE DAY: August 10th, 2015




CLICK HERE TO ADD TO YOUR TBR LIST


Abigail “Abby” Stephens grew up knowing her role. She would always be the ugly duckling or someone’s dirty little secret. She hides behind her computer screen playing her game. No one knew what she looked like just how she played. Abby felt safe, secure and content on living this life, until him.

Cash Hawthorne was given the family business when his parents were killed in a car accident. With the help of his sister, they run a successful hotel which is the premiere spot for weddings. Cash knew that marriage was not in the cards so he had the mentality of “Those who can, do and those who can’t, teach,” that was until he met the one girl who broke through his walls.

Can Cash be the one to show her how beautiful and sexy she is?
Can Abby be the one to show him what happens when love finds you?

Will they be able to overcome her abusive father and his controlling sister?

Come along on this adventure with Abby, Cash and their band of misfits!










“Why don’t we do something tomorrow night? Saturday night is a good night to party and since we are in our 30s, we will all be home by 11.” I said that last part laughing and Rob joined in with me. “So true so true baby girl. Now spill why you had a smile on your face walking into your classroom and I get here, the smile is faded and you had this look of panic on your face.”
“You saw that did you?” He just nodded and waited for me to continue. “I met this guy online in the gaming community. We have known each other for a year but more on a personal level the last few months. We have been emailing, Skyping, and text messaging each other a lot.”
“I see a but coming on or more to the story.”
“There is a but and a huge one at that! We started calling on the phone when we are on breaks from work and at night. We just told one another that we like each other.”
“Has Abby decided to start dating? Oh, this is cause for celebration.” Rob clapped his hands in excitement. He knows the hell I went through with all of the boys that I have been with and knows the toll it took on me. “He lives in Florida and he doesn’t know what I look like. What if he doesn’t like what he sees? What if he wants to make me his dirty little secret? What if I like him a lot and he breaks my heart?”
 I had tears coming down my face. “I felt that same way when I met Aaron. We met online in the same gaming community that you met Cash. I was terrified that he wouldn’t love me, break my heart, or even not feel the same way. I got over that in a hurry because we all need to take a leap of faith in the love department.”
Aaron stood about 5'11 and wasn't as muscular as Rob but he was well built. He had brown hair, hazel eyes, and a beard. I wasn't a fan of beards but my God he made it look sexy. He was a doctor, an OB GYN. He had funny stories about how his female patients would flirt with and ask him out on dates but when they saw Rob coming around and he told them that he was in a relationship with him, they were heartbroken.
They were not upset about his lifestyle but the fact that he wouldn't date them. Rob was doing well for himself. “I am just an overweight girl who doesn’t deserve love and is always going to be someone’s dirty little secret.” Rob slammed his hand onto the table making me jump. “Why is it that you listen to all the people who are not worthy of you and ignore those who love you the most?”
“It is easier to listen to the negative than the positive. The people who love me most will always say what I want to hear not what is true. Do you think I like being this way? Do you think I like doubting every man who comes into my life? Do you think I don’t want the husband, children, and know the feeling of what true love is? Until you have been subjected to this way of thinking all your life, don’t get mad at me for feeling like this, Rob.”
“Honey, I am not mad at you but just disappointed. You are so beautiful and sexy that any man,” I went to open my mouth to say something and he held up his hand, “who is deserving of you. I wish you could see it. When you meet the man who is worthy of you, he will show you and you will believe it. I think you should keep getting to know Cash and see where things go. Keep an open mind. If all else fails, think “What would Rob say?” I am very wise, just so you know. I laughed, “Wise huh, maybe a wise-ass.” He feigned shock by my words.

Blog Tour: Peace By Piece by S.J. McGran


Title: Peace by Piece
Author: S.J McGran
Release Date: June 29, 2015
Genre: Contemporary Romance



Synopsis
There's an expiration date on every life. A ticking clock counting down the seconds until you no longer exist in this world.

Each tick of the clock is louder for me.

I don't have an eternity. I have one year. Just twelve short months.

If life promised an infinity he could have been my forever, and without a doubt I should have been his always.


Excerpt
“Been waiting for you, Genevieve. I know it. You were made for me.” He continues assaulting my lips and neck with his kisses, pausing at the hollow of my throat to whisper there, “You feel that? You feel the world tip on its axis when we’re together? It’s earth-shattering. It’s like we can fix everything that’s wrong in this world just by being together. Do you feel it, V?”
I let out a needy moan from the back of my throat. I want to feel it. I want his words to be true. I want more than anything in this world for our relationship, for his kisses to have healing powers.
Standing there in the middle of my tiny cabin, with the most beautiful, amazing man holding me in his arms, with his lips driving my pulse through the roof, I send up a silent prayer to every God that might be listening to let his words be true.
Please, let him heal me. Let this pain, this suffering be worth something. Give me this man, please. Give him to me and I’ll never ask for anything again. I’ll be your greatest servant, your best disciple. Just give me this man. Please.
He pulls back and I feel the loss of his touch immediately. “Come on, sweetness, we need to get you washed up.” Grabbing my hand in his he pulls me through the one room cabin to the small closed-off bathroom. Picking me up he sets me on the vanity while he goes to the shower to test the water temperature. Once he’s apparently satisfied, he turns back to me and takes my breath away with the strength of his stare.
This wasn’t supposed to be our fate. He’s just a kid. He’s not supposed to fall in love, yet.
And, yet I know it is inevitable. I see it in the way he looks at me, the way he touches me. It doesn’t make sense and yet there it is. I recognize it because if I were to force my eyes off of him and look at myself in the mirror I’d see the same emotions reflected back at me.
This is the moment where I either push or jump.
And, I have no idea what to do.
“Don’t shut me out,” his words are whisper quiet but they bounce off the tiled walls mockingly. “Don’t push me away, V. Don’t fight this.”
“I have to, Levi. I can’t let you fall in love with me.”
He steps up to me and once again nestles my face in his steady grasp. “You don’t have a choice.” He absorbs whatever argument I was going to say with his kiss. Expertly he pushes back my excuses, making me focus on nothing but the way he makes me feel. He completely surrounds me and I get lost in him. Just like he wanted.

About S.J McGran

One day I woke up and realized there were people living inside of me. Their words were too potent to ignore. So, I started writing them. I started telling their stories. And, now I'm too addicted to stop.
When I'm not writing and talking to imaginary people I'm probably curled up on the couch with my husband, and one of our fur babies.
My other obsessions include reading smutty romance, the Detroit Tiger, ice cream, pizza, coffee, and craft beer.

Blog Tour: Unstoppable by Jessika Klide




Title: Unstoppable
Series: Siri’s Saga
Author: Jessika Klide
Release Date: May 27, 2015

Blub:
UNSTOPPABLE describes Aurelius Moore when it comes to Siri Wright.
In Unstoppable, Siri learns all there is to know about a man NO ONE TRULY KNOWS. Despite her confidence that the dark is only dark until the light shines on it, Aurei has some very dark secrets that Siri will have to come to terms with as they explore this beautiful thing they have found. Aurei's secrets are even more private and potentially more devastating than hers. And what about Ruth-less? Is she a stalker?

UNTOUCHABLE described Siri Wright until she met Aurelius Moore. From the first time their eyes connected, there were fireworks and the game was on, but both harbor secrets that threaten the very real possibility of having a beautiful thing together.

Aurelius Moore, 24, was an Army helicopter pilot, an alpha male in every sense of the term, who knows what he wants and makes it happen. In Vegas, he wanted Seary, but she was untouchable. When she vanished, he returned home to Alabama, and was stunned when she walked by him in his hometown. He was determined to have her!

Siri Wright, 24, is a successful Vegas Star, but she is NOT stereotypical. While she knows sex and works her moneymaker, she is more than an exotic entertainer. She is a gifted dancer with a ballet background, who has turned her talent into a specialty niche which has made her rich and famous, but her identity is top-secret! She is untouchable and lives under the protection of celebrity status, isolated and alone.

When a family emergency brought her back home to Alabama, she met Moore and wanted him! But she was mindful of her stripper stereotype, and doesn't want him to label her a whore before he got a chance to know the real Siri Wright, so she was careful to only show him the fun loving girl, not Seary, the Sex Diva, who has so many secrets! What’s one more?

Secrets! Secrets! Secrets!

They both have more than anyone knows and could possibly guess! Having survived the unveiling of her secrets, will they survive the unraveling of his?

Theirs is a whirlwind, twisting, turning journey that will captivate you. It is filled with mystery, suspense, action and adventure mixed in with their sweet romantic story and thrilling HOT erotic sex.

It is NOT what you are expecting!

Excerpt 1:
"Ah!" I moan as his fingers f*ck and massage. I watch his mouth on one breast then the other, swapping back and forth. F*ck! He is a fine feast! And f*ck, he knows how to make me lose my f*cking mind! I stare down on his gorgeousness as long as I can, enjoying both the view and the sensations, but he keeps up the intensity until I close my eyes, moaning. My body responds to his expertise, arching and f*cking him with small hunches. He builds my desire, as he hunts the exact locations. When he passes over, my body tells him with small involuntary jerks. He continues stroking it until my legs are quivering uncontrollably. I lean my head back. "Ah!" The world falls away. There is only Aurei and my hunger. F*ck yeah! I dig my fingers into his skin as I get ready to burst. "Arghh!" I strain against him. I'm about to cum!



Excerpt 2:
My eyes water as I blink.
"I don’t play fair." He warns me.
"How do you play?" I whisper.
"I don’t get even. I get ahead. Always." He pinches and pulls again. "Be warned. Don’t."
I pause, catching my breath from the panic I felt and now the pain. "Or else?" I whisper.
"Something like that."
