Jensen Stone was thriving in her first year of college. So thirsty for success she could already taste the achievements on her lips.

We're celebrating the release of WITHOUT WARNING by Dee Lagasse! One-click this one today! Five star review and giveaway!!



My Review (copy provided)
Five Stars!

This book was so what I needed, I loved it! It was such a pleasure to read. Dee gives us such a remarkable story, intertwining family and friends. I loved the strong sense of family portrayed in this book, not only in blood but in heart and soul.

There are so many strong characters in this story and what I loved is that they aren’t your typical alpha hero (Chase) and meek heroine (Hollis). Hollis was a great heroine because she was so layered and diverse, she was intelligent, talented, athletic and kind, same goes for Chase. I love getting a heroine that is strong, but you still see her little insecurities. I also love getting a hero that has insecurities of his own. It. Is. Real.

The side characters are written perfectly too; we get to know them just enough. I love a story that can develop characters besides the MC’s. To me, this shows me what good writing is. In life it’s not only about two people there is a big world of family, co-workers, and friends. Dee wrote it so fluidly that you thought you were one of them.

I’m not going to give the story away, but this is such a sweet friends to lovers romance. There isn’t a whole lot of angst, (you do get a punch to the gut though) but just a great story about a unique friendship, two best friends that have had a long going friendship, their inner thoughts on one another and their fears of taking it further. It is somewhat of a slow burn but worth every minute. 

I would highly recommend this book! I still can’t believe this is a debut novel; it knocked my socks off!!

I can not wait to read more of this wonderful family. 

Bravo Dee!

Without Warning

New Adult Contemporary Romance
Hollis Capparelli had always been different than most girls. A pint-sized spitfire with a take-no-crap attitude, her focus had always been soccer, music, family, and friends.

Chase Merrimack loved football more than anything. With dreams of playing professionally, there was only enough room in his heart for his momma and his little brother. That is, until Hollis quite literally stumbled into his life, changing both of them forever.

From the very beginning, Hollis and Chase, along with their friends and family, knew their connection was the kind that only came around once in a lifetime. “Soul mates,” they said. But no matter how strong the pull was, Hollis and Chase avoided their feelings. And they for sure never spoke of them...until the day they did.

Without Warning is the story of Hollis Capparelli and Chase Merrimack, their friendship and the universal pull that kept bringing them back together.

Wicked Wedding, an all-new sexy standalone novel, from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Sawyer Bennett is available NOW!

WickedWedding-SBPRBANNER-BT.jpg

It all started with a wedding…
Well, three weddings, to be exact. The one that happened, the one that went up in flames, and the one nobody saw coming.
Andrew Collings has seen a lot of things living in Vegas. Hell, he’s done a lot of things. But one thing he’s never witnessed is a beautiful brunette, hitchhiking her way into the city, wearing a wedding dress. Until now, that is.
Brynne Adams is running away from a broken heart. She expected a lot of things from her wedding day but finding photos of her fiancé and maid of honor and best man in a compromising position wasn’t one of them. She most certainly never imagined that she’d end up marrying the handsome stranger that rescued her from the side of the road that day.
Andrew and Brynne’s quick nuptials may have been the result of a drunken joke, but they soon realize that love can be found in the most unlikely of places if you just stop and take a chance.


* Wicked Wedding is the fourth STANDALONE NOVEL in the LEFT AT THE ALTAR series in a collaboration of six New York Times Bestselling Authors: J. S. Scott, Ruth Cardello, Raine Miller, Sawyer Bennett, Minx Malone, and Melody Anne.

My Review (ARC provided)
Four Stars!

Wicked Wedding is a sweet sexy romance that has you swooning. I fell in love with both of these characters and I was rooting for them from the beginning.

I love how Sawyer writes smart, sexy and strong heroines. Brynne is all of those things, she is independent, intelligent, a little nerdy and a whole like likable not to mention gorgeous. The same goes for Andrew he is a genius, but hot and slightly nerdy. He definitely knows his way around a woman though.

When Brynne (h) becomes a “runaway bride” Andrew (H) picks her up on the street, after a few cocktails and getting to know each other a bit Drew tells her he’ll make her “wedding day” still the special day she deserves. Sparks fly, and the two realize that one night isn’t enough. They start a casual long distance relationship that becomes pretty heavy and intimate early on. The problem is Drew is hiding something and doesn’t want to tell Brynne for fear of losing what they've started.

This was a quick read that I enjoyed. I feel like I’m missing a story about Dane and Avril, Andrew’s two business partners though, so I need to research to see if they have one. 
I was rooting for the H and h from the beginning and found their story refreshing, not to mention steam worthy.

I would recommend.

Excerpt:
“Let me prop the door open and I’ll carry you over the threshold,” I tell Brynne as I press the keycard against the magnetic reader. She giggles, a sound I normally find grating on a grown woman, but on Brynne it’s charming. Her cheeks are flushed, and her eyes are still sparkling with energy.“Well,you are very Thor-like, so a girl would be crazy to refuse to be carried over the threshold by her husband.” That’s right. I’m her husband, but let’s rewind just a bit to detail how this all went down. It took me exactly fifteen minutes and three phone calls to set things up, just as I promised her. The first call was to the nicest, swankiest Vegas chapel that I could find with a Google search. I was advised we’d have to obtain a license at the Las Vegas Marriage Bureau for the low price of seventy-five dollars, and I wasn’t surprised in the least to learn it was open twenty-four hours a day on the weekends. I was able to arrange a limousine to pick us up, as well as an explosion of flowers within the chapel itself. When I gave my credit card number to the woman, I told her to go crazy on decor, but I specifically requested white calla lilies for the bride bouquet because Brynne told me those were her favorites. The second call was to a jeweler where I was able to purchase two very simple wedding bands in gold. It’s a detail I probably could have ignored considering we both knew this was just for fun, but fuck it. I’m rich, which means I have the ability to make this as nice as I can for Brynne. The third call was to my attorney, who explained annulment laws and assured me it was a fairly straightforward process. I’d have to institute the action—called a complaint—and if Brynne waives service, we can present our annulment request to the court to be approved after twenty days. It wasn’t immediate, but twenty days was nothing in the grand scheme of things. By the time we took a limo to the marriage bureau, stood in line for about thirty minutes with other like minded folks, and then made our way to the chapel, we’d sobered up quite a bit. “You sure you want to do this?” she asked me just before we went in.“I mean… it was a fun notion when we were a little more buzzed.” “Hell yes,” I’d told her with a devilish grin.“Mostly so we can send a picture to the whore and the asshole.” Her laugh was sparkling and beautiful and just a little evil, which made her infinitely more attractive to me.“It’s all in good fun with no risk,” I’d added on to assure her. So we went in, both of us grinning like fools during the ceremony. It felt fake, because it was fake, but in some respects, it’s the most real thing I’ve ever done. Because what we were doing had real purpose. It was to give Brynne and her glorious wedding dress a moment to shine. It became even more real when the minister—who was not dressed like Elvis, but was very dapper in a dark gray suit with an old-fashioned cravat tied at his neck—told us in a very cultured voice,“You may kiss the bride.” Fuck. I hadn’t thought about the kiss. I mean, I’d thought of kissing her because she’s sexy and vibrant and smiling despite the fact she was shit on hard today. But I hadn’t thought about the“wedding kiss”. Because even though this is all fake, somehow a man giving us formal permission to put our mouths together to seal our marriage vows makes it very fucking real. There was no hesitation. When my lips touched hers and she gave a tiny huff of pleasure, I realized I wanted to consummate this fake marriage very badly. I did not, however, know if Brynne felt the same. Because today would probably go down as the worst and weirdest of her life, I wasn’t going to push. Instead, I took her out for a radically expensive late dinner and then we hit a popular jazz club where we listened to music. And then it happened. A slow song was played. A bluesy number people just sort of sway to, and I asked her to dance with me. She accepted. It was Brynne who kissed me. Slid her delicate fingers into my hair, went to her tiptoes in her gray tennis shoes with teal-blue accents, and pressed her mouth to mine. My mind reeled, and my cock started to twitch to attention as we swayed and kissed. The words were forming in my mind on how best to invite her into my bed without sounding like an opportunistic douche, but then it didn’t matter. She pulled her mouth from mine, relaxing and tipping her head back to see me.“If we have sex tonight, does that ruin our chances of getting an annulment?” I had no fucking clue what the answer was. It had never crossed my mind I might actually get the chance to fuck her, so I didn’t ask my attorney. “Not that I know of,” I hedge. At least I didn’t flat-out lie to her. “Good,” she said with a smile.“Let’s go to my hotel room.”

PERVERSION, book one in the Perversion Trilogy from USA Today bestselling author T.M. Frazier is live!

PERVERSION RELEASE BLITZ.jpg

T.M. Frazier sucked me in from the very first page and then slayed me with the end of Perversion. This trilogy is EPIC!

Meghan March, New York Times bestselling author

PERVERSION FRONT AMAZON.jpg

Love is supposed to be a fairy tale.
Ours is a death wish.
I'm the executioner for the Bedlam Brotherhood.
She's a con artist working for my greatest enemy.
I use her.
She manipulates me.
We find ourselves on opposite sides of a bloody war.
My heart and head tell me I have to stay away.
My lust for her doesn't give a sh*t.
Nothing's fair in love and gang war.




ARC PROVIDED-SUZY'S REVIEW

FIVE STARS!!

This book!!!! HOLY HELL!!! I want to say so much right now, but I don’t want to give away any spoilers! 

This book leaves you hanging so be prepared.

“My Life. My Death. My Loyalty. My Honor. For You. For Us. For Always.”

TM Frazier has blown me once again with her creative, intriguing, dark, twisty mind. I love it so much! 

I read this captivating story all in one sitting. I just couldn’t put it down. It caused me anxiety, and I wanted a shot of something strong and a Xanax. 

A modern day Romeo and Juliet in a way... TM started the story with the past between these two characters Grim and Tricks. I loved seeing them younger and then jump to 5 years later to the present. Their immediate intense connection drew me in. Unfortunately, the first time they met was short, but neither one forgot about the other. I was anticipating the day they would meet again! 

This story was raw, gritty, intense, and oh so good!!!! 

I cannot wait for the next in this trilogy!!

About the Author
T.M. (Tracey Marie) Frazier never dreamed that a single person would ever read a word she wrote when she published her first book. Now, she is a five-time USA Today bestselling author and her books have been translated into numerous languages and published all around the world. T.M. enjoys writing what she calls sexy‘wrongside of the tracks romance’ with morally corrupt anti-heroes and ballsy heroines. Her books have been described as raw, dark and gritty. Basically, what that means, is while some authors are great at describing a flower as it blooms, T.M. is better at describing it in the final stages of decay. She loves meeting her readers, but if you see her at an event please don’t pinch her because she's not ready to wake up from this amazing dream.

About CD Reiss: CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets. Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels. She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood. If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

OUT NOW!! Review...Professor Feelgood by: Leisa Rayven

Professor Feelgood by Leisa Rayven

What's a girl to do when a man who's countless shades of wrong feels oh-so-right?

Ambitious book editor Asha Tate is a hopeless romantic. Despite her mediocre track record with men, she believes in swooning, sighing, and the everlasting love of true soul mates. Sure, sex is okay, but she’s not someone who’s ever been driven by her animal urges.


Until now.


When Asha stumbles upon the scorching hot Instagram feed of someone calling himself Professor Feelgood, she falls in lust for the first time. Not only is she left panting over the professor’s insane body, but his angst-filled poetry about losing his one true love speaks straight to her soul. 


Desperately in need of a bestseller for her struggling publishing company, Asha knows the professor’s potential to sell to his millions of loyal followers could be the lifeline her bosses need. However, the ink is barely dry on a book deal before she realizes she’s made a terrible mistake. Sure, the professor is incredibly talented and sexier than any man has a right to be, but the man behind the persona isn’t at all who she pictured. In real life, he’s intense, arrogant and infuriating, and his uncanny ability to rub her the wrong way turns her dream project into a total nightmare.

Knowing that the professor is everything she doesn’t want in a man should help Asha ignore her occasional urges to mount him, but she quickly learns that explosive, unwanted chemistry can make even smart people do stupid things.

Don't miss this sexy new standalone from the international bestselling author of Bad Romeo and Broken Juliet.


My Review: 

Five plus stars!

Leisa never disappoints me with her words, if anything they keep getting better and better. Professor Feelgood was not what I was expecting it to be, but a pleasant surprise it was. I inhaled this book, couldn’t put it down and wanted so bad for something to happen. Leisa is also the master of a slow burn and what a slow burn it was. I was ripping my hair out sixty percent through. 

This is by far one of the best friends/enemies/lovers romance I’ve ever read. Categorizing the specifics of it is hard.

And Leisa’s poetry was terrific; I was so engrossed with every word. I want a book of the Professor’s poetry alone.

“I want to slide my tongue over yours
until you understand all the reasons
I love you
that I can’t put into words.”

I have so much highlighted but do not want to ruin it for anyone.

Another thing is the humor she gives us, and that’s the other reason I love reading her so much, for as much angst she gives, she gives just as much humor, it’s a perfect balance.

“There are a million different stages of douche. I wonder where he falls.”

“Behold my jiggly man boobs and beer gut in all their naked sweaty glory! Hold yourselves back ladies.”

I loved Asha from Mister Romance, we got to get to know her, but we didn’t get inside her head. This book is all Asha POV, so we get to see the person she is and what sets her off, turns her on and who’s she's been hurt by. Leisa throws a real twist in there that I wasn't expecting but was pleasantly surprised, and as always her secondary characters, you want more of. JO!!! DEREK!!!

I can’t express enough how much I love this author and everything she has written. What a fantastic read.

MTCY_blog tour.jpg

Logical. Rich. Driven. And he wants her. . .

04 MoreThanCraveYou
I'm Evan Cook—billionaire tech entrepreneur and widower. Professionally, I’ve got it all. But since my wife died, my personal life has fallen apart. Remarrying seems like the obvious answer, so I place an ad. I'm not asking for much. The ideal woman only needs to be smart, organized, pretty, and helpful—both in and out of bed—without expecting romance. I never thought to look right in front of me…but it turns out that Nia Wright, my sexy, sassy assistant, just might be the perfect candidate.
After an unexpectedly hot night together, I'm ready to stop interviewing strangers and simply marry her. On paper, she ticks every box on my list. Best of all, she's far too sensible to fall for me. I didn’t see the flaw in my logic until it was too late. I never thought I’d lose my heart for the first time. And I definitely never imagined Nia could consume me. But she's harboring a secret that could tear us apart. Can I prove I more than crave her before it’s too late?

Excerpt:
I charge down the hall toward what might be the stupidest mistake of my life. I move through the sea of bodies, shrugging past the Latina dancer, a few of the French maids, then bump into my assistant’s handsy dance partner. I stare him down. He looks at me blankly. One thing I realize instantly? My gaydar is absolutely silent. He’s every bit as straight as I am. As he hovers protectively around Nia’s dressing room, I snarl and shoulder my way past him. He grabs my arm. “Where do you think you’re going?” “To see Nia. Let go.” His eyes narrow. “Is she expecting you?” No. In fact, I’m about to shock the hell out of her. I don’t know if I’ll be unwelcome, but I’m going to test Bas’s theory that she wants me. If he’s right…this could get messy really fast. I shake him off, barrel inside the room, and shut the door. Behind me, I immediately hear the asshole jimmying the knob. I throw my weight against the portal to keep him out and lock it behind me. Nia whirls to the sound of my intrusion, dressed in an inch of stage makeup, a silky white robe—and nothing else. The moment she recognizes me, her mouth drops open. Shock spreads across her face. “E-Evan?” “Nia.” I can’t find more words. I can’t do anything except stare and put one foot in front of the other. I certainly can’t defuse the anger and possessiveness I know I have no right to feel. “What are you doing here?” “That’s my question for you,” I growl. “Why the fuck are you taking your clothes off for strangers?” She rears back and blinks at me. I don’t think she’s ever heard me curse. I keep the office professional, totally aboveboard. But I can’t manage decorum now when she’s breathing hard and her nipples are poking her thin robe. She raises her chin and glares at me. Everything about her demeanor is like waving a red cape in front of a bull. “It’s burlesque, not stripping,” she snaps. “I don’t do this for money. I do it because I enjoy dancing.” “Yeah? You enjoy that asshole’s hands all over you, too?” Even though the logical side of my brain tells me I’m way out of line, I point at the door behind me and stalk closer to her. “You enjoy sex standing up with him?” Her nostrils flare. Her mouth presses into a firm line. “Last time I checked, boss, I don’t have to justify my personal life to you.” The fact she’s right only pisses me off more. “You do when your behavior reflects badly on Stratus Solutions.” She shoots me a quelling glare. “You’ll have to do better than that. No one in the audience knows who I am. I never take off my mask and I never use my real name. Nothing I do on stage can taint your reputation.” Arms crossed over her chest, she saunters closer. “Why don’t you be honest and tell me what’s really bothering you? I know you’re not this mad simply because I was dressed a little risqué and gyrated on stage with Kyle?” I debate the wisdom of blurting the truth. The rational part of my brain tells me to shut up, leave, and act on Monday like nothing happened tonight. Every other part of me knows that ship has sailed. My cock is especially eager to lay my cards on the table, grab Nia in my arms…and not worry about what happens next. “You’re right. I’m mad because I think you’ve fucked him.” She jerks as if I’ve slapped her. “Not that it’s any of your business, but we haven’t been together in almost two years. Thanks for letting me know you think I’m a whore.” Hearing I was right royally pisses me off. Having her put words in my mouth kills what’s left of my patience, stripping away anything resembling professional civility. I try not to squeeze her arms as I drag her close. “I never said that. Or thought it. I’m telling you that I can’t stand knowing he’s touched you. I don’t like the fact you still have anything to do with him. I don’t even understand why I’m here yelling and angry. I’m just…” How the hell do I put the storm raging inside me into words? No clue, but I need to get it all out somehow or I’m going to explode. “Jealous?” Soft surprise crosses her face. Something about her confusion rips the confession from me. “Yes.” “Because you…want me?” I grit my teeth and try again to think through the wisdom of spilling all this to her. But I can’t keep it in. The softness of warm silk and hot woman under my palms almost undoes me. “Yes. I know I shouldn’t. I’ve spent forty-eight hours telling myself what I’m feeling is ridiculous and I can’t allow this—whatever it is—into our perfectly comfortable, efficient working relationship. But I can’t turn it off. I can’t fight it. I can’t pretend it doesn’t exist.” “Is that what you’d rather do? Bury your head in the sand and not feel it?” She looks hurt. Her expression makes me feel like an asshole. Nia always asks insightful questions. Why should now be different? I shake my head. “For the first time in months—maybe years—I feel alive.” Nia stares at me in silence, her gaze fused to mine. I swear I see a hundred thoughts whip through her head. For once, I can’t read a single one. “Say something.” If she doesn’t soon, I don’t know what I’ll do. I don’t even know if I can be responsible for what happens next. “Have you been drinking?” “Not enough to drown out how much I want you.” “In spite of your opinion about my sexual past? And what about our working relationship?” She’s not wrong, but they’re barbed questions. I have to maneuver around them carefully. “Nothing matters to me except touching you right now.” Before Nia can chew on my answer and remember all the reasons she should say no, I pull her against me. She gasps. The instant her soft body makes contact with my hard, aching cock, I groan and hold her tighter, cupping her face and lowering my mouth to her parted lips.
