BLURB:

It was just a typical manic Monday until the blue and red lights flashed behind my Harley. The cop who pulled me over was good-looking, if you’re into clean cut guys with expressive eyes. He was also cocky and gave me three tickets.

One for speeding. Another for blowing a light. And the third for not producing an insurance card.

Jerk.

When he finally let me go, I realized I was more than an hour late for my first day as an intern for the infamous advice column, Ask Ida.

So much for trying to be the only one in my family with a legit job.

Lucky for me, my new boss, Soraya, didn’t fire me on the spot. But that’s where my luck ran out.

A couple of weeks later, in between fetching coffee and finding the missing paperclips, I received a text message from my dad, the president of the Corrupt Hellraisers MC, ordering me to the compound.

Yeah, try explaining that to your new boss.

Hey, I’ve gotta go. Everyone in my family is a criminal and we’re all on lockdown.

You’re fired.

Sure enough when I arrived at the clubhouse, everyone was in cuffs and the jerk who pulled me over was the one ushering my father out of the clubhouse.

They say you never see the bad guys coming. Well, I didn’t see the cocky jerk coming either.

RELEASE BLITZ, GIVEAWAY, AND REVIEW: Explosive (Houston Defiance MC, Book 1) by KE Osborn @KEOsbornAuthor @GiveMeBooksPR




Title: Explosive
Series: Houston Defiance MC #1
Author: K E Osborn
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: August 24, 2020



Blurb

I couldn’t walk away.
It’s not who I am.
The moment I saw Rayne broken and bloodied, I knew I wasn’t leaving without her.

As the president of the Houston Defiance MC, my job is to protect. And there’s no taming the rage building inside my body, screaming at me to shield her from the husband who’s beating her day in and day out.

Taking her was never in my plans, but plans change.
I don’t care if she’s married.
Or that her husband’s a cop.

Our connection is explosive, it’s dangerous, it’s intoxicating.
And I’m fast being swept up in her storm.
It’s something I can’t ignore.

I thought the enemy was clear, and I was ready to fight.
But maybe there’s a threat we didn’t see coming?
Maybe there’s someone closer to us than we ever could have imagined.
Someone who could be the destruction of us both.

Excerpt

I start moving toward the exit. My chest heats so fucking much it’s like I’m on fire. I don’t know what the hell’s happening right now, but having Rayne in my arms, knowing while I’m holding her, and no fucking person in the world can touch her, it has my body flaming in adrenaline.
This woman is bad news.
Real bad fucking news.
Her eyes linger on me as I walk with her from the bedroom, down the hall, and outside to the waiting van. Having her right up against me like this is not doing my cock any favors. She smells like peaches and fucking sunsets.
How the fuck can someone smell like a sunset? It’s like I’m going out of my damn mind right now.
She’s invading my senses as I help her inside the van, placing her in the rear seat.
“I don’t understand why you’re helping me?” Her eyes lock onto mine.
My protector mode rears its head yet again as I lean over her grabbing at the seat belt to pull over her. Our faces come in line with each other.
Rayne scrunches up her face, reaching for the seat belt. “I can put on my own seat belt.”
I jerk my head back as she removes it from my grip while trying to gain control of the situation. I pull it back from her and click it into position. “I’m sure you can, but I need to ensure you’re taken care of. Can’t get you out of this situation and have you injured on the way into the club because you’re not buckled in properly.”
Her eyes widen. “There are so many things wrong with what you just said. One, you think I’m incapable of something as simple as doing up a seat belt. And two, you believe your driving is so bad I’m going to be injured on the way to wherever it is you’re taking me?”
“That’s not what I meant—”
“Then you need to think about how you word shit, ‘cause you’re coming across as an arrogant ass.”
I glare at her smug, insolent, beautiful face. “You have an attitude problem, cherry bomb.”
She snorts. “And you think you can control me because I get beaten up by my husband? He might walk all over me, but you…” she tilts her head smugly, “… not so much.”
Hmm. She has a feisty side.
I lean in closer. Her eyes widen, and her breathing hitches. She’s affected. “I like your fighting spirit, Rayne. You are a wild one.”
She leans in closer, we’re only an inch apart, the smell of peach surrounds me. It takes every ounce of strength I have not to rush forward pressing my lips to hers. My eyes stare into her incandescent emerald green eyes, they’re so alive, so alight with fire. She has so much fight in her. As she licks her bottom lip, my cock twitches when she whispers, “You ain’t seen nothing yet.”
A low hum vibrates from my chest as I exhale, backing away from Rayne slowly.
She’s trouble with a capital ‘I’m screwed.’

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

He’s now the President of the Houston Defiance MC. One tragedy led to his presidency, and the loss of his family, all in one day. Zero can’t let his younger sister and brother go, but he can’t keep them in Houston either, so he’ll have to compromise and send someone to follow them and protect them. Zero isn’t ready to take the reins from his father. A year later, and he’s ready for his sister and brother to come home. He’ll have to handle it with kid gloves if he wants them back in Houston, and he will also find more than he expected when he goes to reclaim his family.

Rayne is a pawn for her husband to get what he wants. She is being used by her husband against her family, but she believes that their marriage is a marriage of convenience because they both come from wealthy families. However, she has no clue of the real reason Chuck married her. Her life is a living nightmare and a chance meeting one night could change everything for her. She will just have to bide her time and wait for her white knight to show up now to save her.

This story was full of action, suspense, heat, and great characters. I loved it and hated to come to the end. I wanted so much more. There is angst and some twists that are very unexpected. Rayne will find a safe place to be the person she wants to be and Zero will find a way to move on from the pain of his past and the loss of his family. They will both fight to protect themselves but realize that there’s no use in the fighting the inevitable. They have great chemistry and will do anything to protect the other, even if it means putting themselves in danger to do it. Rayne will find a strength that she didn’t know resided in her with the help of Zero and the Houston Defiance MC. She may be trouble waiting to happen, but she will also be a huge asset to the MC, they just don’t know it right away.

I loved this story and give it 5-stars. I look forward to more stories in the Houston Defiance MC books and can’t wait to read Wraith’s story. If you love MC love stories and strong women that have been beaten down and raised back up, you will love Explosive. I did.

Release and Review of Cruel Seduction (Underground Kings, Book II) by Kelli Callahan @kellicallahan92 @GiveMeBooksPR



Title: Cruel Seduction
Series: Underground Kings #2
Author: Kelli Callahan
Genre: Dark Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 21, 2020



Blurb

Some people say blood is thicker than water.
Those people must not have ever been stabbed in the back by family.
My brother.
His blood is nothing but a stain on my life.

He set me up to take the fall, and I did five years behind bars.
He’s my blood, but it isn’t thicker than water.
Not until I make a river run red with it.
Now that I’m out of prison, it’s exactly what I plan to do.

No one messes with me and gets away with it.
I’m going to take everything that belongs to me.
Including her. Gabriella Regio.
My brother’s ex-wife.
He keeps her under lock and key like an animal.
And I’m going to set her free.

My brother locked her up for a reason.
The same reason he put me away.
Now his day of reckoning has arrived.
But with Gabriella?
It might just be mine too…

Excerpt

I took a deep breath and clawed my fingers into the old worn wood of the counter. My body shook with anger. I wanted to bust through the glass and hold her, to tell her everything was going to be okay, but I couldn’t lie to her anymore. I had no idea if things would ever be okay again.
If she went back to my brother, Gabriella would be nothing but a ghost to me. I was haunted in many ways, and losing her would leave me in purgatory, where the doomed, broken, and dangerous were meant to be.
“Goodbye, Sebastian,” she sobbed my name and hung up the phone with a soft click as I stared at her.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow, dark, depraved, and twisted. He was set up by his own blood. Sebastian Knight was set up by his own brother to get him out of the way of what Kendrick had planned for the beautiful young woman that he is dating. The first time Sebastian laid eyes on Gabriella, he fell in love with her and wanted her for himself, but Kendrick staked his claim on her first. Sebastian spent five years in prison for a crime he didn’t commit and during that time all he could think about was protecting Gabriella and keeping her away from Kendrick. He had no idea what Kendrick had planned for Gabriella, but Sebastian knew that he needed to find her after he was released from prison, so he spent the next two years searching everywhere for her, with no luck.

Gabriella thought Kendrick was the man that would give her everything she lost when her parents died. When she was eighteen, she started dating him and after a while, she realized that he was not the man she was hoping he was. After she met his younger brother Sebastian, she knew he was the man for her, but now she was trapped with Kendrick and in a marriage that she didn’t want. Sebastian helped her while he was in prison to escape Kendrick and get a divorce, but her seclusion didn’t last long enough and when he found her again, she had to endure so much that most people would not survive.

I loved this story and the characters are great. The men are Alpha, wealthy, dangerous, and loyal and the women are sassy, strong, and just as dangerous as their men. They have no problem with what these men do and in fact are right by their sides all the way. These men made their own family and are loyal to each other. They will put their lives on the line at any moment for their family of choice. I cannot wait to read Grayson, Owen, and Heaven’s stories. All of these men were falsely accused of crimes and imprisoned for them. Now they are out to redeem themselves and to gain back some of what they lost in time they spent behind bars. The guys are so funny to read about. They are like a bunch of teenage girls at times and then other times they are lethal and deadly. I give this story a 5-star review and highly recommend it to readers that enjoy stories that are a bit dark and twisted and characters that you wish were in your corner. Besides, one look at the cover of Cruel Temptation and Cruel Seduction and who wouldn’t want to read these guys’ stories? They are very sexy!

My prey hides in the shadows thinking it might save him from my wrath.
It won’t.

A true hunter knows one rule:
Every prey can be lured out of the darkness with the right bait.
And I just found mine.
His daughter.

The monster inside me craves to possess her.
A beauty who ends up trapped in a castle by the horrible beast.
Seducing and then breaking her will be my greatest conquest.

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️✨3.5 out of 5

He left his family and the woman that held his heart in her hands because his father favored his brother. It made him feel as if he was second best to everyone he loved. So, he left to find his own path in life, and he made a name for himself. He was rich, had his own company that was well known, and he lived his life on his own terms. Everything changed when his father and brother died in a tragic accident. Now he had to return home to be there for his mother when she buried her husband and one son. His return not only threw his life in a turmoil, but also Alexa’s, the only woman he has ever loved in his life. There is so much between these two that needs to be cleared up and it could either destroy them or bring them back together.

I enjoyed this story of Cain O’Connor’s path in life and his detour in his life to regain what he lost seven years ago. His strength, power, and confidence will be tested when he has to work with Alexa side by side day in and day out, to keep the family business going. Cain will discover that he can still love and that his heart still belongs to Alexa. This story is about second chances and finding it within oneself to understand the reasons a parent does what they do, even when the child doesn’t understand at the time, age and life bring them to the understanding. Unfortunately, it is too late for Cain and his father to repair the broken bridge, but Cain is willing to repair what he can with his mother. He needs to look within himself though to find the strength to follow the path with Alexa again so they can have a future.

I give this story a 3.5-star review and suggest it to readers that enjoy second chance at romance, rich powerful men, and families that were broken at one point. It has tragedy, secrets, and people that conspire to bring two people together that should have never been separated.

Release and Giveaway for One Night in Monaco by Blair Babylon @BlairBabylon and @GiveMeBooksPR




Title: One Night in Monaco
Series: Billionaires in Disguise: Maxence Prequel
Author: Blair Babylon
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: August 18, 2020



Blurb

One night in Monaco, my best friend, Maxence, disappeared from the middle of the Monte Carlo casino like blowing away a breath of smoke.

I have no idea what Maxence was doing in Monaco that night. Yeah, he loves the Monte Carlo casino—the stage of British spy movies, billionaires, Russian mafia, and roulette.

But too many people in Monaco think he might be a danger to them.

He never should have been there.

But he was.

And so was Simone. She’s trouble from our past at boarding school. Her husband is a good friend of some of the people who would be happier if Maxence wasn’t around anymore.

They tell me Maxence was here in the casino, and then a few minutes later, he was gone.

Like he dropped off the face of the Earth.

Or like he was dropped off one of Monaco’s cliffs and into the blue Mediterranean Sea, which was just a few feet from where he was standing when he disappeared.

Arthur and I are in Monaco to find Maxence, no matter what it takes.

But we might end up finding his body.

Trailer



Excerpt

The Monte Carlo casino brimmed with beautiful women, and Max loved women. He loved everything about them, from their finer skin to their soft curves to the sweet scent of them to the sparkly and beautiful clothes they wore.
The doorway between two rooms where Maxence was standing was half-blocked by Christmas trees that towered over his head and the doorway. He’d been careful not to jiggle the tiny gold-and-glass ornaments that encrusted the tree. The balls and icicles tinkled alarmingly every time his arm brushed the branches.
Maxence had just decided to inch closer to the televisions airing the soccer match when his old high school friend Simone Maina rushed across the opulent casino room and through the crowd toward him.
Her lithe figure was a harmonic vibration on a violin string, blurred at the edges of her slim curves by the lights sparkling on the glass beadwork of her white dress. As she neared him, the smooth skin between her eyebrows and under her eyes creased, indicating strain. Her arms reaching for him were slim, dark lines in the room of round, solid bodies held tightly together to avoid contact.
Maxence set his whiskey glass on a small table behind himself and drew a breath to ask her what was wrong.
Simone’s natural Afro hair was a sleek halo around her thin face. She was reaching out to Maxence, her fingers nearing the lapels of his tuxedo, and she glanced behind herself in fear. Black eyeliner and eyeshadow in soft sage and glittering gold accentuated her sloe-eyed beauty, and she almost looked like an Egyptian hieroglyphic of a queen.
Rough abrasions and the darkening plum of bruises covered her slim throat.
Maxence’s heart fell as rage rose in his body. Her husband, Estebe Fournier, must have thought people wouldn’t notice the damage to Simone’s dark-bronze skin. Estebe had always been a bully when they had been at school together, and he’d been excellent at creating incidents where he could deny his guilt.
About twenty feet behind her, two men in dark suits pushed through the crowd, their eyes intent on her form.
Other men in dark suits—all with the nearly shaved heads and odd bulk of the paramilitary security profession—converged toward them from another side of the crowd.
Wait—wasn’t that—
Maxence could have sworn he recognized one of the men. Maybe all private mercenaries and bodyguards were beginning to look alike to him. Many of his friends employed dozens of them.
Maxence opened his hands as Simone rushed into his curtained alcove and whispered near his shoulder, “Help me.”






Author Bio

“I’m passionate about books and literature. The best books are intense, enthralling stories that readers can get lost in for days. Books delve into what it means to be human and connect us to each other. Books allow us to live all our possible lives. Books open us to loving each other and the world more. I write intense, deeply imagined romance novels for serious readers because the world needs more love.” ~~Blair Babylon

Blair Babylon is an award-winning, USA Today bestselling author who used to publish literary fiction. Because professional reviews of her other fiction usually included the caveat that there was too much deviant sex and too much interesting plot, she decided to abandon all literary pretensions, let her freak flag fly, and write hot, sexy, suspenseful romance.
