SYNOPSIS

Following her abduction, Maiya’s life is turned upside down. Her only wish

an addiction she can’t shake…and is stuck in a life she never even knew
existed.

And then there is Brad…

When Brad is given babysitting duty, he does everything in his power to
keep Maiya safe. But he didn’t bargain on what he would get in return. His
world is tilted on its axis when he starts to fall for the bitch taking

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

I was born and bred in East Yorkshire England, and I still live in my
hometown, with my husband and children.

My journey with stories began when I was just a child, I would often
scribble down wherever my dreams or imagination took me.

My journey with writing stories, began much later when I became ill and
housebound for a period of eighteen months. I decided I would escape real
life and become immersed in a story of my creation. With the support of my
husband and family my first real story was born. I would stay up night
after night tapping the keys of my trusty laptop, while my husband lay
sleeping beside me. I was hooked. But it wasnt as easy as that. My story
needed work. A lot of it. And it sat on my computer for some years after
that. Later on I decided to embark on another journey. I went to
university, where I studied Creative writing and english literature.

I then decided with a new wealth of knowledge that I would once again delve
into the world that I had created. I had never forgotten the characters and
would often think about what I would have liked to have done with them over
the years. I had grown to love them for getting me through a very difficult
period in my life, and I wanted other people to read all about them. And so
I began to rewrite my book.

It wasnt until I delved into the ‘Book world’ on facebook that I discovered
the ‘Indie book world.’ Its amazing! So many authors are now being heard
publishing this way, and I can only hope that my books will leave a lasting
memory for some or all of you readers too!

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Fire On The Farm ~ By Betty Shreffler

Title: Fire on the Farm
Author: Betty Shreffler
Genre: Second Chance Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 29, 2017

United Indie Book Blog – “It’s a MUST READ!!!”

Goodreads Reviewer Kerry – “A page turning love story that will pull at all of your heart strings.”

Goodreads Reviewer Megan – “I couldn’t put this book down, I haven’t had time to sleep.. not many books can grip me the way this one did..”




Losing the man she loved to a terrible accident, pushes Amy Flanders into a life of independence. Her only source of comfort is her work—a business dedicated to the care and training of horses. Until one lonely night leads her into the arms of Brock Baisdin. A man who fulfills her deepest desires and reignites a flame long forgotten. 


Between his picky tastes and running his own business, Brock Baisdin has little time for women, but that doesn’t stop him from looking for love. After saving Amy from a cancelled date, Brock is instantly drawn to the shy and beautiful woman hiding secrets beneath her lust-filled baby blues—secrets he finds himself eager to discover.

Undeniable attraction pulls them into each other’s arms. Hope draws them into each other’s lives. For Amy Flanders, Brock Baisdin may be the man to bring love back into her lonely life, if only she can overcome the wounds of her past and face her biggest fear—risking the pain of another shattered heart.

Betty Shreffler is a self-proclaimed nerd and nature enthusiast obsessed with folklore, photography, writing, reading, movies, board games, hiking, gardening and spending time with her husband and five fur babies. Not necessarily in that exact order though. During her outdoor adventures she’s been face to face with an alligator, a bear and a coyote, making for some of the most memorable experiences of her life. She loves to capture and share the world’s beauty through the lens of her beloved Nikon camera. Her work experience has been diverse from working as a Ranger for the National Park Service to management positions in Fortune 500 companies. She’s lived in four different states and moved homes twelve times. She received a BA in organizational management and minor in sociology, although her heart has always belonged to writing and photography. Growing up, she read romance or supernatural novels and jotted down poems and short stories to express her emotions and alleviate the characters’ voices in her head. Not much has changed, only now her stories are lengthier and her characters more interesting.

Synopsis:

Courtney Bishop is as sugary sweet as her famous blueberry muffins.
Southern belle at heart, Cali girl by choice.
She barged into my life and easily became my best friend.
All was great as roommates and just friends, but then I fell for the girl who could chop firewood, deliver baby calves, and bail hay without breaking a sweat.
She’s the perfect mixture of sugar and spice, and I love her.

Being more than friends and trying to build our future isn’t as easy as it sounds.
Moving forward and creating memories is all I want for us, but when the past continues to come back and haunt me, I’m not so sure she’ll stay for the ride.

Loving her is easy, but losing her will break me. Burning passion combined with an undeniable chemistry constantly pushes and pulls us together. In the end, I’ll prove we’re worth the fight, even when the game is far from over.

Checkmate, sweetheart.

My Review:

This is Effortless (The Checkmate Duet #4; Drew & Courtney #2)This is Effortless by Kennedy Fox

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

4 Stars to This is Effortless: (The Checkmate Duet #4) by Kennedy Fox.
Genres: Romance, Erotic Romance, Romantic Suspense

Drew and Courtney…….

Before I continue with this review, you need to be aware that This Is Effortless is book two and picks up where book one, This Is Reckless left off. That said, there was one heck of a cliffhanger so you need to read book one first.

So doing my best to not give away any spoilers, I can tell you that although the angst and suspense is present by the same person, there are many new twists and turns to keep you wondering what is going to happen and when.

For me the climax was not a complete surprise; I had my suspicions pretty early on. What I was a little disappointed with was the resolution. I was definitely happy about what happened but I felt it was rushed and left me slightly dissatisfied. I would have like to see more of a confrontation.

As characters, Drew and Courtney were absolutely adorable together. They were an amazing couple. Never mind that their chemistry was smoking hot, it was the way they treated each other with reverence and love that tugged at my heart. And don’t even get me going on about how perfect Drew is as a hero. Oh. My. God! The mold was definitely broken after Drew was created. Seriously, if you read book one then you already know his looks and physique were drool worthy. But also, Drew is loyal, loving, attentive, protective, romantic and absolutely easy to fall in love with.

I believe Courtney was a perfect fit for Drew in every way. However, in this book, as opposed to book one, some of her character elements changed. She was no longer known to me as mouthy, sassy, bold, and courageous. Yes she still had some of those qualities but sadly I felt they were overshadowed by her fears. Courtney acted more like the victim and less like the smart*ss, a**-kicking Courtney we met in book one. This is only my opinion and you may think differently.

The middle portion of the book got a bit boring as we waited for the suspense element to return. But once the story took on a steadier pace, I was fully engaged once again.

Courtney and Drew’s books were the first I read by Kennedy Fox. I admit I am really looking forward to the next duet, eager to learn Logan’s story. And I certainly will be adding Travis and Viola’s duet to my TBR.

RELEASE BLITZ ~ Son Of A Beard ~ By Lani Lynn Vale

Title: Son of a Beard
Series: The Dixie Wardens Rejects MC #3
Author: Lani Lynn Vale
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: April 27, 2017
Photographer: Golden at FuriousFotog
Cover Model: Tank Joey

Truth Alan Reacher was a biker. He was a bladesmith. What he was not, was a fool.

The moment he walked in on his girl screwing his cousin on his bike, he does the only thing he can do.

He ditches the bike seat—and the girl—riding right out of her life without a backwards glance.

That is until he’s forced to attend the marriage of his cousin to his cheating ex-girlfriend. The only bright spot of the entire thing was watching some chick go off on the groom—the groom’s ex-fiancé—right in the middle of the bouquet toss.

***

Verity Ruthann Cassidy was supposed to be here today attending this wedding as the bride, not watching the festivities as a guest from the chairs she’d painstakingly purchased covers for while her fiancé—now her ex-fiancé—screwed around on her with another woman.

The icing on the wedding cake that she refuses to eat? She’s forced to attend the wedding due to her mother being the wedding planner.

However, the night doesn’t turn out quite the way she expects it due to the hot-as-hell biker sitting in the chair directly beside her. The man gave one hell of a speech during the reception that sounded like something that could have come straight out of her own mouth, and she enjoyed every single second of it.

***

Thrown together under similarly lousy circumstances, the two newly single jilted former lovers of the happy couple decide to go to Vegas on what was to be Verity’s honeymoon trip.

One thing leads to another, and the next thing they know, their night has gone from a celebration of being single to a marriage—to each other.

Verity and Truth now have to figure out if everything that happens in Vegas should stay in Vegas.

RELEASE ~ Big Bad Bite Returned ~ By Jessie Lane

Title: Big Bite Returned
Series: Big Bite Series #2.5
Author: Jessie Lane
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Release Date: April 28, 2017


Jenna O’Conner and Adam McPhee are happily mated … Or are they?
While Jenna happily wears Adam’s mating mark, she has yet to give Adam one in return.
Adam doesn’t want to pressure his mate, but not receiving one is starting to wear on him.
After Jenna is attacked while on the job as a SWAT officer, they are forced to reevaluate their relationship.
The time has come. Jenna needs to decide if her mate is going to get the big bad bite.


*This is a 10,000 word short story that takes place after Big Bad Bite and Walk On The Striped Side!*
“Have you heard the news?” 

Adam’s gaze was glued to Jenna’s moving lips, from where she had her chin perched on his chest. Warm amber eyes, lazy from their love making, watched her inquisitively, waiting for her to finish.

 


 

“Gage knocked his mate up.”
The left side of Adam’s lips kicked up in a grin, and he mumbled, “Poor guy.”
It was her turn to be amused. She was about to lay the other half of the story down and knew exactly how Adam would react.
“He did it on purpose, Adam.”
It didn’t take long for his eyes to bug out of his head, and those perfect lips that she loved so much dropped open in aghast. “Why in the hell would he do that?”
Jenna snorted in amusement at her mate’s look of horror. “Careful. If anyone in the pack hears you talking like that, they’re going to think you’re against having kids.”
Strong fingers stroked through her hair, and Jenna’s sense of contentedness magnified. She loved these moments when it was just her and her mate, shutting the world out.
“You and I both know that’s not the case. I love the idea of us having pups one day. Just not right now.”
In a move so lightning quick it had her head spinning, Adam flipped Jenna onto her back on the bed. Spreading her thighs wide, he snuggled their hips together so she could feel his rejuvenated hard length against her sex. She couldn’t stop the moan that escaped her as Adam rocked it up and down her clit, which was still sensitive from the earth-shattering sex they had just finished a few minutes ago.
“You’re trying to kill me,” Jenna moaned.
Adam leaned down and nipped her lip. “Never. Killing you would defeat my master plan of fucking you stupid every day.”
She couldn’t help laughing at his blunt words. It was so like her mate to think with his dick. She knew she owned all of him, including his heart. That didn’t mean she wasn’t going to tease him for being such a man.
“I see how it is. You only want me for my body.”
He ran his lips down her neck to the spot on her shoulder where he had given her his mate mark and kissed it. It was something Adam did all the time, as if he was paying homage to the spot on her body that made her his. “Wrong again, mate. I want to own all of you.”
“You do own all of me.” She then gasped as he slid inside her, filling her with his hard length.
“I know,” Adam whispered in her ear. She thought about smacking him on the ass for being cocky, but then he whispered in her ear, “Just as you own all of me.”
As her mate made love to her again, a little voice taunted her in the back of her head—her wolf. You don’t own all of him. You’ve yet to give him our mate mark.

Jessie Lane is a best-selling author of Paranormal and Contemporary Romance, as well as, Upper YA Paranormal Romance/Fantasy.


She lives in Kentucky with her two little Rock Chicks in-the-making and her over protective alpha husband that she’s pretty sure is a latent grizzly bear shifter. She has a passionate love for reading and writing naughty romance, cliff hanging suspense, and out-of-this-world characters that demand your attention, or threaten to slap you around until you do pay attention to them.

RELEASE ~ Unhinged ~ By Phoenyx Slaughter

Title: Unhinged 
Series: Iron Bulls MC #5
Author: Phoenyx Slaughter
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: April 28, 2017
When your whole world becomes unhinged, only love makes sense.

Kadence Rivers

Blaise Savage, is everything I don’t want in a man. Crude, rude, bossy, overbearing. Not to mention that he’s Vice President of the Savage Dragons MC. I’ve got enough bossy bikers up in my business. I don’t need another one, especially now. My newfound sister, Karina, is hooked up with the enforcer for the Iron Bulls MC, so I have all the domineering bikers I can tolerate in my life.

Besides, Blaise and me, we’re bad for each other. Sure, he’s hot and my body craves him like an addict. But we tried being together once before, and our love made us lie to the people we care about. We even lied to each other until one of us ended up getting hurt.

Blaise Savage

A couple months ago, I let Kady slip through my fingers because I didn’t tell her the truth. Not happening again. She’s smart-mouthed and totally frustrating, but she’s the only woman I’ve ever loved. Now I’ve got a second chance to make her mine, and I’m not throwing it away.

First, I have to keep her safe. She’s in trouble and I’ll do whatever it takes to protect her, even align my club with the Iron Bulls MC. And if we both make it out alive, I’m not wasting any time getting Kady right back where she belongs—naked and tied to my bed. Because the one thing I’m sure of, when my world goes crazy, loving Kady is the only thing that makes any sense.

“What a fantastic book that I could not wait to get my hands on.” – Tanya (Goodreads)

“I loved this book! It was different from the others but it fit with Kadence and Blaise. I love the relationship they have and the growth they went through.” – Megan (Goodreads)

*Scroll to bottom for review link.

SYNOPSIS

The best way to get over someone is to get under someone else, right?

Even if that someone else is a dirty, dominant cop with secrets?

HAZEL

I lost my job and my fiance in the same week, so a drink and a dirty f*ck
are exactly what I need. Liam, with his killer body and stern orders for me
to get on my knees, is the perfect one-night stand.

But when he cries out another woman’s name in his sleep, I’m out of there.
I don’t waste my time with cheaters.

Turns out Mr. Hot Night Stand is a cop. The very next night he saves my ass
when I stupidly trust someone from my past. Truth be told, I can’t stop
thinking about how much I want to feel his strong, protective arms wrap
around me. He’s like a drug and I can’t get enough.

I’m falling hard. But who in the hell is this woman whose named he called
out in bed? Can I trust that she’s really in his past? Sure Liam’s a cop,
but sometimes cops are the biggest liars of all…

LIAM

I came to the bar to drown my sorrows, not take home a girl with tons of
baggage. But when I set eyes on Hazel–that dark hair, those green eyes,
her ripe dangerous curves–I forget everything else but getting her in my
bed.

When she kisses me, I’m hooked and can’t let go. When she begs me for more,
I open a world of pleasure she never knew existed.

It’s taken me three long years to rebuild my life. I lost everything. Hazel
is the first taste of sweetness I’ve had in a long time. And I don’t want
to let her go.

I’ll do anything to protect her, even if she doesn’t understand my reasons.
Being a cop has taught me about sacrifice. Even if doing the right thing
isn’t always what it seems…

Love and War can be enjoyed as a standalone novel or as Book 2 in my Small
Town Bad Boy series. No cheating, no cliffhangers and guaranteed HEA!

love&warteaser2.jpg

EXCERPT

“Hazel.”

Liam’s voice was calm. It made me pause just for a split second. And then
his hand touched my face.

His fingers, gentle but firm, lifted my chin slowly to look at him. When
his eyes met mine, his fingers traced a path of heat along my jawline.

He said nothing but cupped the back of my neck and look at me curiously,
like he just wanted to observe me but wasn’t sure what to do. Our breath
mingled in mid air between us. I wondered if he felt the same intense,
crackling magnetism that I did.

And his lips fell to mine, completing the kiss that I wasn’t bold enough
to.

My body responded like I didn’t have control of it. I closed my eyes and
savored his mouth, returning the pressure and adding the smallest flick of
my tongue.

This was what my body wanted, why it pulled me to him with magnetic force.

I couldn’t even remember the last time Johnny spontaneously kissed me. We
had been living like roommates for months. My body starved to be desired,
wanted, and lusted after.

I pushed the thought of Johnny out of my mind as I kissed Liam with more
passion, closing the distance between us. He groaned softly into my mouth
as I parted my lips to give way for his tongue to explore. As his arms
encircled my waist like two anacondas, I rested my hands on his massive
biceps, not feeling an ounce of fat under his skin.

He felt like a solid wall, rigid muscles dipping and rising, and strong
enough to crush me if he wanted to. But the darkness I sensed from him
wasn’t dangerous. The way he held me was firm and protective.

I felt safe.

And so insanely turned on.
