  • Second to None by Felice Stevens

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    Marcus has been my favorite character of the series since book one.  He is jaded to love and I always knew it was for a good reason.  One interaction with his father, and I totally get it.  His friends knew that when the right person came alone, he would make Marcus change his view, and boy were they right.  Just watching Tyler dance did things to Marcus he never thought he would do in a million years.  But who really stole Marcus’s heart was Lillie.  I love when the people who though they could never love anyone gets a double dose.  She is so sweet, she gave me a tooth ache. 

    Love come in all shapes, sizes, and types. 

    Second to None

    BLURB:

    Nightclub owner Marcus Feldman never met a man he didn’t love, at least for the night. Although his best friends have all found love, Marcus shuns their advice to commit to one man and settle down. His past has taught him monogamy and marriage is for fools, and Marcus is anything but a fool.

    Tyler Reiss’s dream of dancing professionally is unexpectedly cut short and replaced by a different kind of love. He trades in his ballet slippers for go go boots, and spends his nights dancing at the hottest gay club in the city. Flirting with the customers for tips is easy, but resisting the dark and sexy Marcus is becoming harder to do with each passing day.

    Unforeseen circumstances bring Marcus and Tyler closer and though they give in to their mutual passion, both still struggle to guard their hearts. When crises threaten, Tyler and Marcus find their strength in each other rather than falling apart. Tyler must choose to either run, or stay and fight for the life he wants, while Marcus realizes that love doesn’t mean losing himself and opens his heart, making him a better man in the end.

    EXCERPT

    “This wasn’t a permanent arrangement; you knew that.” Tyler leaned against the wall. “I can’t impose on you any longer. I’m sure you want your bedroom and your life back.”

    “I didn’t mind it last night.” He walked over to Tyler and placed a hand on his neck, stroking him. This he could do. He had no qualms about seducing Tyler to stay with him. The troubling reason why he wanted him there so badly, Marcus pushed to the side for now. Instead, he pulled Tyler close, settling their hips in line, and his cock thickened in his pants. “I’d tell you if I did. Please, come with me to brunch, and we can talk.”

    Doubt clouded Tyler’s eyes. “I don’t belong there. Those are your friends, the people you’re closest with.”

    “I had my dick inside you twice last night, Tyler. How much closer could we get?”

    It took Marcus many minutes of deep, persuasive kisses to rid Tyler of his confusion. When he pulled away though, the ground under his feet reeled, and Marcus needed a moment to compose himself.

    They remained standing close; Tyler’s hands rested on his shoulders while he clasped Tyler around his hips. He nuzzled Tyler’s ear, then pleaded with him.

    “Come on; you have to help me out here. They’re all coupled up, and the last thing I want is to listen to them be all disgustingly loving and happy.”

    An amused glint lit Taylor’s eyes. “And you hate that, huh?”

    “Bet that sweet ass of yours I do.” He gave Tyler’s ass a squeeze for effect, and the light in Tyler’s eyes smoldered.

    “If you want me to come, you’d better get your hands off my ass.”

    Marcus’s lips curved up in a grin as he popped open the button of Tyler’s jeans and drew them down.

    “I definitely want you to come; in every way possible,” he said, and sank to his knees, uncaring of how late he might be to meet Zach and Julian.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR

    Felice Stevens has always been a romantic at heart. While life is tough, she believes there is a happy ending for everyone. She started reading traditional historical romances as a teenager, then life and law school got in the way. It wasn’t until she picked up a copy of Bertrice Small and became swept away to Queen Elizabeth’s court that her interest in romance novels was renewed.

    But somewhere along the way, her reading shifted to stories of men falling in love. Once she picked up her first gay romance, she became so enamored of the character-driven stories and the overwhelming emotion there was no turning back.

    Felice lives in New York City with her husband and two children. Her day begins with a lot of caffeine and ends with a glass or two of red wine. Although she practices law, she daydreams of a time when she can sit by a beach and write beautiful stories of men falling in love. Although there is bound to be some angst along the way, a Happily Ever After is always guaranteed.

    I have been waiting for Aaron and Kreed’s story for a while now. You could actually feel the heat burning up their monitors in the last book. Now that they thrown together to take down those who threaten Mitch and Cody, they burn up the sheets too!

    I love Kreed’s Leather God persona, but deep down he is a softy for those he loves. My favorite kind of guy. Aaron is a hot computer genius who is thrown into undercover work. Scared out of his mind, he knows that with Kreed at his back, he would be fine.

    This series is definitely full of Nice Guys, but in the bed room, they are anything but!

     
    Honor, integrity, and loyalty are how Deputy US Marshal Kreed Sinacola lives his life. A former SEAL now employed by the Special Operations Group of the US Marshal Service, Kreed spent most of his life working covert operations and avoiding relationships. Never one to mix business with pleasure, his boundaries blur and his convictions are put to the test when he finally comes face-to-face with the hot computer geek he’s been partnered with. Hell-bent on closing the ongoing case for his longtime friend, he pushes past his own limits and uncovers more than he expects.

    Aaron Stuart strives for one thing: justice. Young and full of idealism, his highly sought after computer skills land him a position with the National Security Agency. Aaron’s biggest hazard at his job is cramped fingers, but all that changes when he is drawn into the middle of a dangerous federal investigation. Aaron gets more than he bargained for when the FBI partners him with a handsome and tempting deputy US marshal. His attraction to the inked up, dark-haired man provides another kind of threat altogether. Aaron tries desperately to place a firewall around his heart and fight his developing feelings, knowing one misstep on his part could ultimately destroy him.

    The solution isn’t as easy as solving the case, which is treacherous enough as it is. But the growing sexual attraction between them threatens to derail more than just Kreed’s personal convictions as he quickly learns temptation and matters of the heart rarely fit easily into the rules he’s lived by. Will Kreed be able to convince Aaron to open his heart and face the fact that sometimes the answers aren’t always hidden in code?
    Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next!
    I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it’s true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women’s hair!
    Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.

    I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.

    That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

    Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

    Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It’s its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her.

    NOAH’S JOURNEY by CA Harms

    Series: Sawyer Brothers #3

    Genre: Western Contemporary Romance

    Publisher: Limitless Publishing

    Release Date: FEBRUARY 2, 2016

    – SYNOPSIS –

     

    The years that were taken can never be repaid.

     

    The memories stolen can never be returned.

     

    But I had to move forward…for him, my son.

     

    Noah had spent years wondering what he could have done differently. Wondering what he’d done wrong to make Stacey leave. The heartache from her absence and the what-ifs of their past eventually turned to anger—and then disgust.

     

    It took years for him to move on, and once he did, his past came thundering back, revealing a secret.

     

    A secret that would forever change his future.

     

    Alena had waited for the chance to have more with Noah. He was an enigma, a man of mystery, yet she wasn’t quite ready to give up on him. She knew there was more to him than what he allowed those around him to see. She was drawn to his charm and his calm nature. With an uprooted past of her own, she craved a little stability more than anything. But when things between them finally begin to grow into more, their relationship is tested.

     

    Will it all be too much for Alena to handle?

    Or will she decide to stay and be a part of…Noah’s Journey?

  • Just Breathe Again

    Just Breathe AgainJust Breathe Again by Mia Villano
    My rating: 5 of 5 stars

    This is definitely a read that you will need your tissue box with you at all times. It will tear year heart into pieces, then take those pieces and just totally make mincemeat out of them. This is a heavy, heavy book to read, but so worth it.

    Jeannie suffers loss times two and even though she would have loved to lose herself at well, she couldn’t. She did what she had to survive for her children. Just when she thought the darkness would stay forever, peeks of sunshine break through from the place she least expected it to.

    Kane knows loss too. Not like Jeannie, but no one person’s loss is the same. With a few things in common, they learn to lean on each other.

    By the end of this book, that mincemeat heart you have will be molded back into a heart, but it will never be the same again.

  • Inked on Paper by Nicole Edwards

    Posted on by Karen Comment

    Two souls who lost their creativity due to personal traumas. Jake is a famous writer who lost his muse when he needed to focus on his family instead of his writing. Presley is a tattoo artist who knows her stuff, just her originals aren’t coming to her after loss.

    The two come together and learn love is the best muse.

    This is a book within a book. Brilliant!!! Two awsome reads in one!

    I love the inside look at how a writer goes through his/her process while writing. It was definitely eye opening how some get into their books and how much of themselves and their experiences.

    But the added bonus, is the book at the end of Inked on Paper…… You get a final “published” copy of the book Jake wrote. Loved reading the additions and the changes. I am a beta reader as well as a reviewer and it always blows me away at how things change from first draft, to final.

    A wonderful stand-alone book, but I wouldn’t mind a book about Gil and Josie. There is a story there. Blue too!!!

    Synopsis

    Chapter One…

    What happens when you don’t know what comes next?

    Jacob Wild has had a lucrative writing career, but somewhere along the way he misplaced his muse. Now, unable to put anything on paper, he’s resorted to hanging out in the neighborhood coffee shop with a pen and paper, trying to find something to spark his creativity again.

    That’s when he meets her.

    Presley Abrams.

    The coral-haired, tattooed beauty with the piercing gray eyes and sweet smile draws his attention in a way no woman before her ever has. Jake soon learns that when he’s around her his world is set to rights once more. Presley sparks something inside him and not just his ability to put words on paper.

    But, Presley’s not the easiest woman to get close to and Jake finds himself trying to answer the burning question:

    Does happily ever after only exist in fiction?
