KEEP READING FOR AN EXCERPT!
#RomanticThriller #TheDevilsDue
Father Creighton and Smith Sinclair.
Two dangerous men inexplicably drawn to me.
One bound by a holy vow, the other by duty and honor.
One emphatically covets my soul.
The other, despite his regrets, desires my heart.
Each demands I surrender my body to his control.
A priest and a soldier.
A demon and a knight.
An eternity in darkness, or a lifetime of love and light.
In the end, I have only seconds to decide.
ENJOY THIS STEAMY EXCERPT:
Sinclair takes hold of a small section of my hair, twirling it around a finger. When he releases it, the soft curl bounces off my cheek. “I love redheads,” he murmurs in a low seductive voice. “Is it true their pain threshold is higher?” His nimble fingers find my hair again, combing roughly through the strands. Just before he reaches the ends, he furls his hand and tugs firmly. “Is it, Kate?” My mouth falls open, but I can’t form words. “Do you enjoy having your hair pulled?”
I hate having my hair pulled. At least that’s what I always thought. But the tugging called my body to attention, put every nerve on high alert. And yes, I did enjoy it—all of it. But I especially enjoyed the way my scalp and pussy tingled in sync, as though they were engaging in an erotic dance for my pleasure alone. I’m still enjoying it. Although I have no intention of telling him that. I shake my head in response.
His eyes are dark slits. “Liar,” he murmurs, a breath away from my temple.
The warm sensation caresses my skin. It’s a stark contrast to the cruel word, liar. Is that what it would be like with him? Cruelty swathed in a tender caress? Would I enjoy that, too? Oh, God.
My throat is parched. My brain thick with fog. I’m aroused. And confused. With every circuit misfiring.
“How badly do you want those answers?” He hooks a thumb under my chin, forcing me to meet his gaze. “What are you willing to do to get them?”
His last question jolts me out of my he-is-hot-as-sin and I want to melt in the fires of hell trance. “You’re kidding?” I pant softly.
EXCERPT: Striking Distance by L. K. Shaw @LKShaw_Author @LWoodsPR
Striking Distance by LK Shaw comes out February 20 and you can read an excerpt BELOW!
I’m supposed to protect her, not desire her.
Especially since she’s my sister’s best friend.
Estelle
I never imagined I’d get caught in the crossfire between the police and the Mexican cartel. After a failed kidnapping attempt, a bodyguard attaches himself to my hip.
Why does it have to be Victor: my best friend’s brother and the man I’ve had a crush on since I was sixteen?
Victor
Estelle tempts me like no other woman. I push aside my attraction though. My goal is to keep her safe, not sleep with her.
The stakes are at an all time high when someone betrays us to the enemy. Now it’s a race against the clock to find her before it’s too late.

EXCERPT
I wanted to be able to trust this moment right here. I was desperate for it. My mind clutched tightly to the belief that Victor’s words were real. So I’d keep filling my memory box with these feelings and emotions until it couldn’t hold any more.
“I’m really glad I have you.” That was all I could commit to at the moment, but considering my feelings about relationships, that small concession was a giant step for me. “So, why don’t you tell me what you were talking about in the meeting.”
Cover Reveal – Phoenix: Steele Shadows Rising by Amanda McKinney #SteeleShadowsRising #Phoenix #AmandaMcKinney #CoverReveal @AmandaMcKinneyAuthor
A man who cheated death.
A woman hired to pick up the broken pieces.
And an obsession strong enough to kill for.
They told him he’d been given a second chance at life. Told him to count his lucky stars, to stop and smell the roses. Kind of hard to do when your body is bound by chains and cuffs. That’s what it felt like, anyway, when Phoenix Steele woke up from his coma to a life full of restrictions. Once known around town as the fearless, indomitable heir to the Steele fortune, the former Marine was suddenly labeled unstable, short-tempered, and loose cannon. Unwilling to accept his issues, Phoenix instantly clashes with his assertive therapist—the town’s most eligible bachelorette.
No one knew overcoming the odds like Dr. Rose Floris. Determined not to be a statistic, Rose lived her life under carefully constructed routines—until a gruesome murder and a series of mysterious events reveal she’s become the center of a madman’s obsession. Suddenly, Rose’s world is turned upside down and she finds herself under the watchful eye of her new client, a broken man she’s been warned not to trust.
As the tables begin to turn on their client-patient relationship, Phoenix realizes he must battle his own demons before he can save anyone, including the woman who’s become his own obsession…
An obsession he’d kill for.

🔥Review of Lost Girl by Dee Garcia🔥 @deegarciabooks
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ 5 out of 5
This story is dark, twisted, and awesome! Such a different kind of tale than what I know as the story of Wendy Darling.
Tavi can hear the woman pleading for help, why can’t any of these other creatures around here? He knows that most of them have the hearing that he does, why are they just ignoring her? Tavi can’t do that. He is going to find her and help her.
Wendy finds herself in a dungeon chained to the wall and no kindness. She just wants to go back home and live her life. If she has any life left to live. Why are Hook and Tinksley treating her like everything is her fault? She is just as much of a victim as Tinksley is.
I loved this story. I only wish that I could have found out what was causing Wendy’s dark dreams. Tavi and Wendy have found each other and now they have to figure out a way to move on with their lives together and have a Happily Ever After. If you like fairy tales that are dark and twisted, women who need that Hero to help them, or finding their strength and living their life with their Hero beside them, you should one-click Lost Girl. It’s not your ordinary fairy tale, and you will look at the well-known names of Peter Pan in such a different light. I give this story a 5 -star review and cannot wait to read more in this series. There is so much more to learn about these characters and Rosewood. Even they are learning more about themselves in each story.

something was wrong. That some of the things my father was seeing weren’t actually there. The cars “following” us. The “messages” he was being sent. I had no frame of reference. I’d never attended a normal school. I had no friends. My father was my whole world. He was the smartest, most capable person I knew. The idea that he might be crazy was just . . . too horrible to accept.
He wears a suit every day, but I’ve seen the round muscles of his shoulders and
biceps even beneath the thick material of the suit jacket.
With the minute amount of light coming through the cracks in the blinds, I can
just barely see Ivan’s vast form, laying on the bed. He’s sprawled out on his
back, one thick arm flung up over his head. His heavily muscled and tattooed
chest is bare. There’s a patch of dark hair in the center of his chest, and a
thin line trailing down the center of his stomach, disappearing under the sheet.
His breathing hasn’t changed—it’s still a steady metronome. But I’m about to put a stop to it.
Lark, then relaxing with a good book and a monster bag of salt and vinegar chips.
Review of Emerald by Sophie Lark
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ⭐️ 5 out of 5
This mafia boss is well protected and untouchable, or so thought, until the woman assassin finds her way to him, in more than one way.
Ivan Petrov is the boss of the Petrov Bratva and he’s a powerful man. The only trouble is that there is a new bratva boss in touch trying to take over St. Petersburg. The only problem is that he doesn’t play the game the way the regular bratva does. He’s a dangerous adversary that Ivan has to fight in a different way than he is used to.
Sloane is a woman with a career from a man’s world. She can adapt to the job when needed, and she is lethal in her job. She’s been hired to take out Ivan Petrov, the head of the Petrov Bratva. Can she complete the job, or will she find herself in a deadly situation herself?
I loved this story. These two are lethal, strong, and perfect for each other. They need to learn to trust each other if they both want to survive. Ivan wants to keep the power he has over St. Petersburg, and he’s hoping to keep Sloane by his side while doing it. If you are a lover of Mafia, Bratva, deadly women and men who realize they have a soft side, then I suggest you pick up Emerald and read it today. I give this story a 5-star review and I am looking forward to more of The Colors of Crime series.

🧐 EXCERPT BECAUSE IT’S RELEASE DAY!
Who are you? the thought hits me again. Why is she here? What could she possibly have done to deserve this?
Answers you don’t have the time to unmask. Hurry!
I’m moving again, following my instincts with careful steps towards her. Not careful enough, apparently. Her head snaps up, these sky blue eyes widening in nothing but pure fear, mouth popping open to belt out another hoarse cry.
“I’m not going to hurt you,” I whisper-hiss, holding my hands up in surrender. I make it a point to stop, too, just so she can take a good look at me with the few feet still separating us.
I’m still expecting to hear her scream, but it never comes.
Wordlessly, she observes me. Wary. Unsure. I can’t blame her for it, either. I’d be wary of anyone who came within twenty feet of me if I was chained to a wall, too.
“I’m not going to hurt you.” I keep my hands where she can see them. “I just want to help you.”
Still nothing, but I take both the silence and her fixated stare as a good thing rather than a bad thing. Bracing myself for the worst, I make way to take a single step. She recoils only slightly which still stops me in my tracks. I don’t want to elicit more fear than I already feel emanating off her.
If this is as far as she’ll let me come, so be it.
Crouching down slowly, I drop all the way to my haunches instead, offering a soft smile. “What’s your name?”

She was always mine … whether she wanted to be or not
Ten years ago I allowed another man to take her to pay her families debt.
Fighting for her would have started a war.
I thought life was complicated then.
Now she’s back in my life and brings more than I bargained for.
I live by a code: Always stay in control.
Yet, I’ve never been able to say no to her.
Not years ago when she stepped through the doors of the Dark Odyssey and handed me her v card.
Not now that when her enemies try to blackmail her.
She needs my help so I give it.
But not without a price.
I want her
I want her for myself.
On her knees before me, in my bed, everywhere.
Every day, forever.
I’ll protect her from everything.
Except me.
Beneath the mask I wear, I may be the devil she doesn’t want, but needs.
I want her to be mine.
My property, my possession.
What I never knew was her secrets may be my end.

My Review of Taunt Me by Faith Summer
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 5 out of 5 steamy stars
Wow! Ms. Summer writes some very hot and sexy scenes in The Dark Odyssey books. I loved Tease Me, Nick’s story, and Taunt Me did not disappoint. Gabe’s story was just as hot, suspenseful, and dangerous as Tease Me.
Gabe lost his true love ten years ago. She was taken from him and he couldn’t do anything about it. In his world it was too dangerous for him to go after her since his entire family and any friends of the family were threatened if he went after Charlotte.
Charlotte is destined to live in hell. She was taken away from her family and has lived in hell for ten years. Finally, she is freed. However, is she really? The person who freed her is just as dangerous, if not more so than her husband was. She knows that she can’t tell anyone of what happened to her in Italy, or they will all be in danger.
I loved this story. The heat, suspense and Giordano men only left me wanting so much more. The danger that the family has to fight off to keep their women safe is always dark. The draw between Gabe and Charlotte is constant. Neither one wants to live without the other. They were made for each other and will both do whatever they can to save the other. If you like mafia, dark, sexy, suspense filled stories, you will love The Dark Odyssey series. One-click Taunt Me and be prepared for a steamy read. I give this book 5-steamy stars.
Sneak Peek: Angry God @jennw23 @lj_shen
“The artistry that L.J. Shen is gifted with blows me away every single time, but Angry God was a whole new dimension.”
– Amo Jones, USA Today bestselling author
Angry God, an all-new standalone new adult romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen is coming February 18th, and we have the FIRST SNEAK!
We were told we were a cut above the rest, the future of artists all over the world. We had the talent, the status, the money, and the opportunity. But if we were silver, Vaughn Spencer was gold. If we were good, he was brilliant. And when we shone? He gleamed with the force of a thousand suns, charring everything around him.
It was like God had carved him differently, paid extra attention to detail while creating him. His cheekbones were sharper than scalpel blades, his eyes the palest shade of blue in nature, his hair the inkiest black. He was so white I could see the veins under his skin, but his mouth was red as fresh blood—warm, alive, and deceiving.
He fascinated and infuriated me. But just like everyone else, I kept my distance from him. He wasn’t here to make friends. He’d made that clear by never attending the food hall or any of the social functions.
Another thing Vaughn had and I didn’t? My father’s admiration. I didn’t know why the great Edgar Astalis fawned over some boy from California, but he did, nonetheless.
Papa said Vaughn was going to do something special. That one day, he would be Michelangelo big. I believed him.
And so, I hated Vaughn.

Synopsis:
Vaughn Spencer.
They call him an angry god.
To me, he is nothing but a heartless prince.
His parents rule this town, its police, every citizen and boutique on Main Street.
All I own is a nice, juicy grudge against him for that time he almost killed me.
Between hooking up with a different girl every weekend, breaking hearts, noses and rules, Vaughn also finds the time to bully little ole’ me.
I fight back, tooth and nail, never expecting him to chase me across the ocean after we graduate high school.
But here he is, living with me in a dark, looming castle on the outskirts of London.
A fellow intern. A prodigal sculptor. A bloody genius.
They say this place is haunted, and it is.
Carlisle Castle hides two of our most awful secrets.
Vaughn thinks he can kill the ghosts of his past, but what he doesn’t know? It’s my heart he’s slaying.
Review of High Point by Simone Scarlet
Review of High Point by Simone Scarlet
⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 3.5 out of 5
Another Knucklehead that has retired and moved away from all things Knucklehead has been found and is being hunted by Falcondale, a black ops group. This time there is no warning or contact before the gun fire started. Their divorce is interrupted by the gunfire that has erupted on the little house sitting on the beach.
Max and Tina have only been married for a year, but it’s been a year too long in Tina’s eyes. She doesn’t believe anything Max says and she has no idea who he really is. They had a whirlwind romance and married shortly after they met, now its crumbling around them, just like the little house that Tina was supposed to get in the divorce settlement.
I liked the story, and I like Max, but I hate Tina. She’s a witch to Max and is too busy causing drama to realize that what she’s had for the past year has been better than what she had before meeting Max. I give this book a 3.5-star review. I enjoyed the story and plot, as well as the action in the story, but I had some issues with the book, so I can’t give it a higher rating.
