Wounded Protector by Nana Malone

The Protectors Series book 3

I loved this book.   This book is about a group of superheros.  I am in awe of this book I have never read a book about superheros.  I could not put this book down.  From page one it pulled me in that I forgot all sense of reality. *sigh*
            
  What are we without our memories?

This book is about Lisa who is a Doctor and Jansen who is human until he got kidnapped.

Jansen lost a year of his life and his memory from a madman bent on killing everyone Jansen loves.  After he escapes he runs to the one person he remembers but not her name, he knows he has to protect her.


Dr. Lisa has been searching for Jansen for the last year.  She is the groups doctor trying to reverse the effects of the genetics experiments.  She grieved for Jansen when they lost him but now he is back he is different.


The author of Wounded Protector is Nana Malone.  This author is one of my favorites.   She knows how to pull you in.
I give this book 5 stars.   I will definitely read more of her books starting with the first book in this series

Between the Sheets by Molly O'Keefe




BETWEEN THE SHEETS by Molly O’Keefe

July 2014
Boys of Bishop, book #3


 BOOK SUMMARY:

Perfect for readers of Susan Mallery and Rachel Gibson, Between the Sheets is Molly O’Keefe’s final book in the Boys of Bishop trilogy, featuring a sizzling romance between a sexy motorcycle bad boy and the girl next door who can’t resist him.

After years of running, Wyatt Svenson has now parked himself in Bishop, Arkansas, trying to do the right thing and parent a son he didn’t even know he had until recently. Over six feet tall and packed with muscles and power, Ty likes to get his hands dirty, fixing his motorcycle at night and keeping his mind away from the mistakes he’s made. Then his pretty neighbor shows up on his driveway, doesn’t bother to introduce herself, and complains about the noise. First impression? She should loosen up. Funny that she turns out to be his son’s elementary school art teacher—and the only one willing to help his troubled boy. Ty needs her. In more ways than one.

Though Shelby Monroe is safe in her structured life, she is drawn to Ty’s bad-boy edge and rugged sexuality. What if she just lets it all go: her worries about her mother, her fear of heartbreak, and her tight self control? What if she grabs Ty and takes a ride on the wild side? “What if” becomes reality—intense, exhilarating . . . and addictive. But Ty wants more than a secret affair. He wants it all with Shelby. But will she take a chance and open her heart? Ty is determined to convince Shelby to take the biggest risk of her life: on him.

Tyler (Inked Brotherhood Book 2) by Jo Raven---Review

I would love to have a deep love and connection that these two characters have.  Tyler and Erin are the main characters names.   No matter if they argue and get mad at each other they still are willing to be their for each other.

Tyler left town 4 years ago and Erin does not know why. Tyler came back to town for his brother Asher and for Erin.   He has always loved Erin.  There are somethings in Tyler's past that he worries Erin will find out.  
When things got so bad for Tyler he would look at a picture of Erin and it would help calm him.  But it was getting so bad that even that picture was not working.  He had to have Erin in person to hold him. To keep the darkness from taking over.

This is #2 in the Inked Brotherhood series.  It is a 
standalone novel. No cliffhanger. 
5 boys brought together by fate:  Asher, Tyler, Zane, Dylan and Rafe

I have not read the first book but I will have to get it soon because this series is so hot.  The author is Jo Raven.   She knows how to write an very awesome book.  I give this book 5 stars and I am looking forward to more books written by this author.

TYLER (Inked Brotherhood, #2) Release Party and Giveaway

TYLER (Inked Brotherhood, #2) RELEASE PARTY AND GIVEAWAY!

WELCOME to the Launch Party for TYLER (Inked Brotherhood, #2). TYLER is a New Adult contemporary (erotic) romance by author Jo Raven. It’s book #2 in the Inked Brotherhood series – but can be read as a stand-alone title, as well.

We’re celebrating the release with giveaways of ebooks and gift cards on Jo Raven’s author page:


We’ll be celebrating all day, so join us to read steamy excerpts and teasers from TYLER and for the chance to win electronic copies of the book!


SYNOPSIS:
Four years have passed since I left home, my parents, and my brother Asher behind – since I shut out my past.
And Erin. Four years since I last saw her, since I heard her voice and held her in my arms. I’ve spent my time forging a path from woman to woman, from bed to bed; trying to find an answer. But I think I’ve lost my way. There’s no light at the end of the dark.
No big surprise. I carry the dark inside me. I’m a bastard – branded as such from the start. I never give my phone number and address; I take my pleasure and don’t come back for seconds. No commitments; no promises and no happy endings. Yeah, I’m a bastard down to the bone and I don’t give a damn.
But now I’m back in my birth town, the town I fled at eighteen – back to make amends to the brother I abandoned and watch from afar the only girl I’ve ever wanted. Hope isn’t a currency I can afford; I learned that lesson long ago.
Yet when she looks at me and says my name, I can’t help but hope.

This is book 2 in the Inked Brotherhood series which started with Asher. It is a stand-alone work. No cliffhanger.

 EXCERPT:
“Why?” I blurt out, to break the spell.
“Why what?” his voice rumbles, low and deep, sending shivers skittering over my skin.
God. I can’t let his face, his scent, his body take away my reason. I came here to talk. “Why did you leave four years ago?”
His mouth flattens and he shoves his fingers through his unruly hair. Those broad shoulders roll in a shrug.
That’s it? He thinks he’s off the hook that easily? No way. I push off the counter and get into his face—well, I crane my neck and almost rise on tiptoe, but it’ll have to do—and grab a fistful of his T-shirt. “Why didn’t you tell me you were going? Why didn’t you ever call? Where were you, for chrissakes?”
“What do you care?” he says, so quietly I’m only sure he spoke because I’m looking right at his beautiful mouth.
My grip on his T-shirt tightens. “Are you seriously asking me this?”
“You told me I should go and never come back.” His eyes close briefly, and a pang goes through my chest. “That I was a bastard and an asshole and wasn’t worth the trouble.”
Christ. I let go of him and take a faltering step back. I did say those things, didn’t I? “I’m sorry.” My hormones played havoc with my feelings back then, intensifying every feeling. “What about you? Why did you leave instead of talking this out? I never got a chance to tell you I’m sorry, you just…” I bite my lip and let out a long breath, but it catches in my throat.
Maybe he hears it because he reaches for me and trails his thumb down the line of my jaw. The gesture stills me completely as his dark eyes nail me. I see sadness there, and fear. What is he afraid of?
“I had to go,” he whispers and his hand drops away.
“You left town, Tyler. Left everyone and everything and nobody knew where you were. God, I was so worried.” My throat constricts; I can barely swallow.
“You were?” There’s a hitch in his voice, as if he doesn’t believe it.
“Yes, I was.” I’ve been so afraid for him for so long, I can hardly believe he’s here, alive and well. I reach up and slide my hand over his chest. It’s hard; solid. “Why, Tyler? Tell me why you left.”
“I don’t wanna talk about it,” he grinds out.
I want to bang my fist on his chest and slap his face. My fingers curl against the soft fabric of his T-shirt, and I feel his muscles clench underneath.
“Screw you,” I whisper and I hope my voice won’t break and betray me. “That’s all you have to say to me? I’m not going to—”
“You’re so beautiful,” he whispers.
Shocked into silence, I stare at him. His gaze is moving over my body, a hot, silky glide that steals my breath. His pupils are dilated, making his eyes look black.
I try again. “After all this time, I just want to know—”
His hand hooks around my back, pressing me to his body and he bends his head toward me, dark hair falling in his eyes. His mouth descends on mine, sealing the words inside.
The world falls away with a murmur as he kisses me. I gasp and his tongue pushes inside, tangling with mine. He licks at my mouth, and he tastes so good—like dark chocolate and pepper. Familiar. Thrilling. Sexy.
I want more. I slide my arms around his hips and kiss him back. His chest vibrates against me as he moans and then he drags me closer, until my breasts are crushed against his firm abs.
A tiny voice at the back of my mind is screeching in protest—this shouldn’t be happening, we should be talking, explaining, finishing this off—but it’s drowned in the rushing of blood in my ears, the thundering beat of my heart. His smell, his taste, the feel of his muscular body, it sends waves of scalding heat over my skin, through me, tightening the tips of my breasts, starting a pulse between my legs. I cling to him as I burn from the inside out; I desperately need him—need to feel him around me, against me, inside me. Everywhere where he’s been missing for so long.

Blurb Alert! 

J.M. La Rocca has released the blurb to her new dark suspense romance, Professor Cline is book one in The Black Widow Series and will be available in Fall 2014.  And, stay tuned for the sexy cover reveal on August 26th.

Check out the intriguing blurb and be sure to add this one to your TBR immediately: http://bit.ly/SZYAFX

Teaser: 
The grip I had on her hips loosened and I looked down to where I was holding her. Red marks splayed across her skin and I knew she’d end up with bruises in the morning. I’d taken her harder than I anticipated, but she knew to expect it.
Pulling out of her, she slumped down to catch her breath. I got off the bed and started to put my clothes back on. This was where most of the women got disappointed. I didn’t cuddle or speak words of praise. She was there for one reason. It was the only way I did things.
As I was tucking my shirt into my pants I looked down at her. She was curled into a ball and almost looked asleep.
“Stay as long as you like,” I said softly, before walking out of the room to get my things. She would stay in the room until she heard the click from the door closing. Then she’d more than likely take a shower before leaving.
I never stayed.
I’d go home and wash it all away. I’d convince myself that I was doing nothing wrong, that it was nothing like my past. It never worked, but it never stopped me from continuing either.

Out of Agony by Lynette Endicott--Blog Tour





Gliterary Girl Book Tours presents the blog tour for the release of OUT OF AGONY, Book #4 in the Starting Over Series, by Author Lynette Endicott.


Brian Van Pelt has barely survived an anguished year of loss, hiding his sorrows under the facade of a cool and uncaring attorney. Not able to deny his grief any long, heartache drives him to collapse and his life takes an unexpected turn.

When Jessie Ingram comes to work at his law firm, she is intrigued by the conflicting darkness of Brian's behavior and the tender inconsistencies that hint at something deeper within him.

Despite her interest, she has her own pain, supporting her niece Sara, who has a virulent cancer with aggressive treatments that take such a toll they would not be worth it — except they are Sara's only hope of survival.

Will life’s hardships bring Brian and Jessie together? Will they be able to heal and possibly find love?

Excerpt


The flashing lights and whining siren caught Brian at the light. He stood at the crosswalk to the office and watched them, mesmerized. His mind placed him in that early spring evening more than a year before. He'd clambered into the front seat of the ambulance, sure if he could be close to Trudy he could somehow change the horror that engulfed them. Those same flashing lights had bathed them in alternating red and white light.
His daughter lay still in the back. The paramedics worked over her, efficiently ran a tube down her throat to get oxygen into her system, started an IV, and connected the heart monitor.
When they arrived at the hospital, they ushered him into a room and told him to wait, and the doctors would be with him soon.
He blinked, shook his head, and jostled with the crowd across the busy street. For a moment, he had been right back in the nightmare. He must get a hold on himself. He decided to take the stairs. Jogging up them would clear his mind. It was only three stories... plenty of time to make his meeting with Will and the new associate.


"Brian? Brian, are you with us?" Will Barnes gave an awkward laugh, and his words brought Brian back to the present. He stood at the end of the table in the conference room at the office. How had he gotten there? The last thing he remembered...
A bead of sweat slipped down his spine. He could swear he'd been in the hospital where Trudy died. But that was months ago, more than a year ago now. A flashback, like his brother, a veteran of Afghanistan, sometimes described? Or maybe it was a dream? He was wide awake, but he could still hear a hospital intercom, stifled in the background. Or was Will speaking? He stared across the long table at his boss, and panic rose in his gut. He watched Will's mouth move but the words sounded muffled and far away. What was happening to him? He reached out with both hands to grasp at the edge of the table. The room tilted into a slow spin.
A woman sat next to Will. She jumped to her feet and moved toward him, but she seemed to move in slow motion. He had seen her somewhere before. Who was she? The last thing he saw was her hand as she reached for him, but when he reached back for her help he lost his balance. His knees gave way and the sensation of falling gripped him. He fell into a deep, dark pit and she couldn't save him.



 Bio For Lynette Endicott

Lynette Endicott grew up in Illinois, met her husband in Western Nebraska, lived 25 years in Kansas where their daughter was born, and has been in Fresno, California since 2000. She has a son-in-law (who lives with her daughter nearby), and has rescued a dog, a bird and three cats. She and Ollie, her terrier mix, volunteer as a team at the local library, where children read to the dog.

At a youth camp when she was 14 the editor and teacher of a writing class challenged her to submit something to his youth magazine. She did and it was the first of 10 articles and stories accepted by the publication over the next few years.

Nothing like front end success to keep her writing! Lynette enjoys reading contemporary romance and speculative fiction and writes both. Her debut book, Starting Over Book One: More Than A Job, and two more books in that series, The Return of Joy and Finding Her Voice are available now. The first three of the Time After Time Saga with Tami Dee are available now, including Animal Instinct, Survival Instinct and Pioneer Instinct. The fourth in the series of six, Protective Instinct, will release in August 2014.

Because she didn't have pets until after her 50th birthday the animals she enjoys find their way into all her books. Usually you will also find a character with a disability as part of the day-to-day fabric of the story. In More Than A Job, Paige works in services to people with disabilities until she loses her job and starts over. In The Return of Joy, Atlas, the yellow lab, becomes a Therapy Dog. In the Time After Time series animal helpers assist the hero and heroine in all six of the books in the series.

Lynette loves hearing from her fans!  Please connect with her on:

Body Games by Jessica Clare

I thought I knew how this book would end.  I was wrong.   I think it is because I only read the first book in the series and then this one. I assumed it would be more like the first.   It was not.   I loved this book anyways.   The characters were on a island just like the first. It was nice to have the feel of what went on behind the scenes on a realty show.   I enjoyed this book very much.  
Annabelle and Jendan have to survive for 6 weeks in Fiji on a island for a realty tv show called Endurance Island.  Annabelle was on another Season of Endurance Island but did not want to go back on the show because the show gave her a bad edit.   She had to quit school because of the bad things everyone would say about her.  Annabelle is a Waitress with a lot of student debt.  She needed the money that she would get for it.  She also wanted revenge on Kip.  He was her partner on the other show and all he wanted was her vote.  He would do anything.   Even if that means Annabelle's reputation
Jendan is on opposing teams, but that doesn't mean Annabelle can't lust after him.  She will just have to save all that lusting for after the show.   

The author is Jessica Clare.  This is amazing series I loved everything about this book. I especially like how they had to be naked on the show.  I give this book 5 stars.

Dark Secrets by Madeline Pryce

Dark Secrets (Dark #2)
Publisher: Ellora’s Cave
ISBN: 9781419991370
Genre: Erotic Paranormal Romance
Theme: Vampire/Demon (a few shape shifters thrown in there…)
Length: 85,000 words

Here is my Review of Dark Secrets:

The triangle of Julian, Micah, and Ella keeps getting stranger and stranger...I keep thinking something will happen withJulian and Ella even though Ella hates Julian's guts.  Who will win in the end?  I thought I knew all the answers before it played out in between the pages...Boy was I wrong
Ella's emotions are so crazy I wondered about Micah and Ella if they would stay together or not.  Many time through the book I wondered if they would have a happy ending.  
The worst moment of Micah's life was when Ella nearly died in his arms. Her miraculous recovery should have been the start of their future.   The Shadow Agency's corruption and Julian, the vampire who turned Ella, are testing their relationship. Despite hotter-than-ever sex Micah begins to wonder if a relationship based on lust can survive for more than a few scorching-hot months.

Ella has forgiven, but not forgotten, the fact that Micah once plunged a dagger through her heart. Everything with Micah is passion, excitement and an uncontrollable desire  But as buried secrets, ongoing lies and murderous deceptions pile up, Ella is reminded that her and Micah's relationship was based on a curse. 

Micah will have to face down their personal demons--and prove that love and trust are more than just words. 

I keep rooting for Ella ad Micah to save their relationship. Their love is so powerful that no matter what happens he still loves her and helps her.   Their love so is strong that it went beyond being mates.

The writer is Madeline Pryce and she knows how to write hot scenes and wish you were the one that Micah was in love with.  I give this book 5 stars.   I cannot wait till the next book is out.    I will definitely look up her other books and buy.  She is an amazing writer.
