  • From the Wreckage by Melissa Collins

    livebanner

    David saved Gracie from a fire when he was nothing but a little kid and she was little more than a baby.  He felt a connection to her that never really weaned as he grew.  That day inspired him to become a fireman.  One thing he never forgot was Gracie.  

    Gracie never forgot David, the boy that saved her life.  She thought of him all the time.  One night their lives cross again and fate takes over.  Their infatuation grown into pure love.  When the unthinkable happens, Gracie never leaves David’s side.  

    The book is a great example of two people who are meant to be together can overcome anything.  Nothing can tear them apart.  

    Gracie and David have a love that makes them one of  my romance fiction favorites.

    SYNOPSIS

    First, he saved me.
    I lived because he was a hero.
    And then he was gone.
    Uprooted by the fire that destroyed our home, my family moved away and I never saw David Andrews again.
    Then, he found me.
    Eighteen years later, he rescued me again – in much simpler terms, of course. By loving me, by giving me the fairy tale I’d always hoped for, he provided me with the perfect life.
    Now, he needs to be saved.
    It’s my turn to be strong, to be brave, to be valiant.
    When flames threaten to turn us to ashes, it’s up to me to pull us From the Wreckage.

    ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

    Melissa Collins has always been a book worm. Studying Literature in college ensured that her nose was always stuck in a book. She followed her passion for reading to the most logical career choice: English teacher. Her hope was to share her passion for reading and the escapism of books to her students. Having spent more than a decade in front of a classroom, she can easily say that it’s been a dream.

    Her passion for writing didn’t start until more recently. When she was home on maternity leave in early 2012, she read her first romance novel and her head filled with the passion, angst and laughter of the characters who she read about it. It wasn’t long before characters of her own took shape in her mind. Their lives took over Melissa’s brain and The Love Series was born.

    My Review

    One night.  That is all  Julia and Ashton are supposed to have.  Each have held interest for the other since they had one hot wax scene demonstration they participated in.  Now that Julia is being auctioned off, there is no way Ashton can let any other Dom haver her.  Despite his norm, he bids for her.  One they have their one night, they know one night will never be enough for them.

    Hot read that says, if you open yourself up past your comfort zone, anything can happen.

    Synopsis

    One night. Two people.  One risky move.

    Can a submissive find happiness being auctioned off to a Dom she only knows as a business associate?
    Can a Dominant chance creating a bond with a brand new submissive when he’s determined to stay a bachelor?

    When the mask is lifted away, and both of them are exposed, can they seek comfort from each other and experience their secret fantasies? Or will they back away for fear of “what if”?

    Lori’s Bio

    Best-selling author, Lori King, is also a full-time wife and mother of three boys. Although she rarely has time to just enjoy feminine pursuits; at heart she is a hopeless romantic. She spends her days dreaming up Alpha men, and her nights telling their stories. An admitted TV and book junkie, she can be found relaxing with a steamy story, or binging in an entire season of some show online. She gives her parents all the credit for her unique sense of humor and acceptance of all forms of love. There are no two loves alike, but you can love more than one with your whole heart.

    With the motto: Live, Laugh, and Love like today is your only chance, she will continue to write as long as you continue to read. Thank you for taking the time to indulge in a good Happily Ever After with her. Find out more about her current projects at http://lorikingbooks.com.

    I have loved Eric from Book 1!  I was so excited that he finally finds love.  If you haven’t figured from the title, Triple Play, he doesn’t find just one love, he finds two.  After Drew is brutally attacked, he becomes withdrawn and depressed.  It takes Eric and Brice to bring him out of it and into their loving embrace.  I love this series so far and cannot wait to see where it goes from here.

    Drew Jackson seemed to have it all. He has a family who loves and supports him, a tight circle of friends, and is a rising star with the Milwaukee Mavericks. Then, it all begins to unravel. Cam, the only man he’s ever loved, falls head over heels for Drew’s teammate. He makes a critical mistake in the playoffs that he’s not sure he’ll be able to recover from. And then, his world really crashes around him…

    Eric Sapp may no longer play for the Mavericks, but he’s still one of the guys. No one could have imagined how much his life would change when he agreed to help his former teammates mourn the end of their run for the pennant. After stopping a brutal attack, Eric is forced to face the feelings that’ve been growing for his roommate, Drew. That’d be much easier if Drew wasn’t hell-bent on pushing everyone away as he recovers.

    Neither of them were counting on Bryce Shaw. He and Drew enjoyed the one night they spent together, but knew it was unlikely they’d be anything more since they lived in different parts of the country. After Bryce is relocated to help a failing LGBT homeless outreach, he wants to explore something more with the Mavericks’ short stop.

    As much as Eric wishes he could be the one to help his friend, he knows Bryce holds the key to Drew’s recovery. Will pushing the two back together be the biggest mistake of his life or will they all learn there is strength in numbers?

    About Sloan Johnson

    Sloan Johnson

    Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girl’s life. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass.

    When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after.

    Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?

    Now, Sloan is a tattooed mom with a mohawk and two kids. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to lose herself with a good book and forget she has somewhere to be.

  • The Making of Matt by Nicola Haken

    I have been waiting for Matt’s story.  This book affirms my story that there really shouldn’t be labels on a person.  Whether a person is bi, straight or gay really depends on who they decide to love.  You never know where you will find love or who will love.  Like Matt’s mom said, the person you love is the person you can’t wait to tell your hopes, your dreams and your fears to.  For Matt, that wasn’t a woman.  I think that once he came to terms with that, he went for it. Alex and Matt have been friends forever. 

    Alex has always had a thing for Matt.  Unrequited love sucks big time, but sometimes fate steps in and makes it something more.  This story has a substory in it that I don’t want to give away, however, it did touch my heart and brings forward an illness you just don’t hear much of lately.  

    This book will touch your heart and lift your spirits all at the same time.

    Matt Carter, self-proclaimed sex-god and drummer for world renowned Souls of the Knight, didn’t have the time or inclination for planning his future, preferring to fill his days with music, women and alcohol. He didn’t want or need anything else in his life.Until the band parted ways and he found himself no longer living the dream. 
    Bored and lonely, with too much time and money on his hands, Matt turns to his best friend, Alex Clark, to help devise a new direction to take his life in. Together, they embrace their newfound venture, as owner and manager of one of L.A.’s hottest gay clubs – Kaleidoscope. For the first time, Matt has a plan. He knows where life is heading.
     
    Until a devastating phone call turns his whole world upside down, sending him straight into the comforting arms of his best friend and leading him to doubt everything he’s ever known or believed about himself. 
     
    Alex had always been content with his unrequited feelings for his rockstar friend, but as Matt starts to question if he might actually feel the same, he runs as fast as his feet will allow. 
     
    Has Matt gone too far? Has his reputation as an irresponsible womanizer who refuses to take life seriously, finally managed to push his best friend away for good?
     
    Or is Alex hiding secrets of his own?

    Nicola lives in Rochdale, England with her husband and four children (six if you include the dog and cat!) She is the author the author of the m/m romance Souls of the Knight series, and is currently working on a standalone with new boys, James and Theo, due for release early 2016. When she is not busy playing with her imaginary book friends (or talking about them with real life friends!) she can usually be found carrying out her ordinary mum/housewife/all round slave duties. Oh, and if the kids ever ask, she moonlights as the Pink Power Ranger while they’re sleeping…

    Michelle Roth Takes Over

    Hi there, everyone! I’m Michelle Roth and I’m here to introduce my latest release, Bite Me. It’s the second in my vampire paranormal series, The Transfigured Ones. Magnus Corbett, my hero, was modeled a bit after Gordon Ramsey. I wanted him to be a rough around the edges guy who didn’t necessarily have time for love. I knew, whoever I matched him with would either need to be a bad ass chick who didn’t take any crap.. or she’d need to be so sweet that she called to the softer side of him. Caroline Lundquist is both of those things.

    If you’ve got any questions about the book, for me as the author, or about the series in general, feel free to use the #transfiguredones hash tag and I’ll do my best to answer!

    BiteMe-EvernightPublishing-JayAheer2015-smallpreview

    Magnus Corbett is the world renowned head chef for Usquebaugh, the wildly popular restaurant and whiskey bar inside the Foxwood Hotel and Casino. He’s certain that it was his status as one of the Transfigured that put him on the map. It will be bold flavors and his tireless work ethic that keep him there. And, if he has to be a little blunt to get things done? So be it.

    When bar manager, Caroline Lundquist, develops a line of cocktails to breathe some life into the drink menu, she’s determined to have new gin-inspired dishes to pair with them. During their collaboration she finds herself falling for the side of Magnus that people rarely see. He’s sweet. Compassionate. Caring. As they begin to navigate the perils of a vampire-human relationship, both of their pasts crop up, threatening to destroy everything they’re working so hard to build together.

    Excerpt

    “That’s nice, but,” he said, frowning at her, “I really hate to bring this up but… I see no nudity or coffee, Caroline. You can’t promise things like that and then not follow through. It’s cruel.”

    Smirking, she said, “You were gone for almost an hour after we talked. I assumed you forgot about me. So I drank your cup and then I took care of myself.” She gave a little shrug.

    “You did, did you?” he asked, his cock stirring to life. “In what’s soon to be our bed?”

    “No. I didn’t,” she said, confessed, laughing. “I did drink the coffee though. Then Lilly called me to tell me about the reviews and I got caught up in that.”

    “New rule,” he ordered, his focus single minded. “You don’t get to play with your pussy unless I’m supervising.”

    Caroline made a pouty face. “Not even a little bit?”

    “Not at all, sweetness,” he corrected. “And I never said you could borrow my shirt, love. I’m going to need it back now.”

    “Sorry,” she replied, giving him an unrepentant grin. She pulled the shirt up inch by tantalizing inch until he realized she wasn’t wearing anything under it.

    “That’s it, love,” he said scooping her up and setting her on the edge of the island counter top. Then he picked up the hand that held her cell phone and suggested, “Read me a review. One of the longer ones because we’re going to be here a while.”

    Caroline set the cell phone down and leaned back, watching as he shifted her thighs apart. When he ran the tips of his fingers along her damp folds, she let out a shuddering sigh.

    “Someone’s a little needy this morning, isn’t she?” he asked, kneeling so that he was eye level with her pussy.

    “Yes,” she agreed. “I’m always needy for you.”

    “And I am for you too. Always,” he promised. “Why aren’t you reading?”

    Caroline narrowed her eyes. “You’re serious?”

    Magnus nodded, and then blew a gentle stream of air against her heated flesh. When she started to wriggle, he murmured, “Hold still, love. Let me…”

    Gently he pulled her labia apart with his thumbs and swiped his tongue from her opening to her clit and back again. “God, love. You taste so fucking good. It’s a shame I won’t be able to continue until you start reading.”

    Caroline moaned, balancing herself back on one arm and picked up her cell phone. A few taps on the screen later, she gave an annoyed huff.

    Magnus resumed his task, swiping his tongue against her inner thighs, nipping gently at the sensitive skin there.

    Caroline’s voice was somewhat broken when she began to read. “I had the distinct pleasure of spending my evening at Usquebaugh. As always, the atmosphere lively, the food amazing, and the drinks sub-sublime. Magnus!”

    He took his time, moving his mouth to her pussy, drawing slow circles around her clit. He periodically dipped his tongue down to fuck her with it until she was panting.

    “Magnus, please,” she whined. “I need…”

    He buried three fingers inside her as far as they would go, fucking them in and out of her slowly, then lifted his head and said, “I need you to keep reading for me. I’m very interested to know what they thought of the individual drinks.”

    “Owner Lilly Ferguson put together the ultimate” she broke off, gasping.

    He stilled his tongue and fingers and waited until she began to speak again.

    Her voice almost a high pitched, needy wail, she continued, “dream team of chef Magnus Corbett and bartender Caroline Lundquist. The dishes display the usual competency and flare that Magnus Corbett has always been known- been known for. However, the real surprise of the evening was the new line of…”

    She could have been saying anything. He’d stopped paying attention the moment he’d buried his tongue in her wet heat. Every time she grew more slick around his fingers, he moaned. Her cream was the sweetest he’d ever tasted. If he had his way, he’d to keep her here, hips pinned to his counter, cumming until she couldn’t bear it anymore.

    Title: Touch Me Not
    Series: A Manwhore Series Novel
    Author: Apryl Baker
    Genre: NA Romance
    Published: September 22, 2015
    A past tragedy has left Lily Holmes burdened with a devastating secret…

     

    Since the death of her twin sister, Lily can’t bear to be touched. Not accidentally, not casually…and certainly not intimately. This makes it impossible for her to confess to her best friend Adam Roberts that she’s in love with him. She can’t give him the sort of relationship he needs, so she watches in silence while he plans his wedding with someone else.

     


     

    Enter Nikoli Kinkaid, the campus manwhore…
    Nikoli is a self-proclaimed connoisseur of women, and he wants to add Lily to his list of conquests, but she wants nothing to do with him—until he makes her an offer she can’t refuse. He’ll teach her to enjoy human contact again, giving her a chance to win over Adam, while Nikoli uses all his considerable charm to seduce her.
    But Lily raises the stakes…
    Lily loves cars. Her late father was a racer, and she grew up under the hood of a car and on the racetrack. Nikoli has a limited edition 1970 Plymouth Barracuda she covets, so she informs him the terms of their deal also require he not sleep with anyone for six months. If he does, she’ll win the car. If she surrenders and ends up in his bed, his beloved ’Cuda is his to keep.
    In an intricate dance of control and surrender, a reluctant friendship becomes something more. Lily begins to crave things she never believed she could, and Nikoli realizes there is more at stake than his reputation.
    If Lily overcomes her phobia, will she crave Adam’s touch as she’s starting to crave Nikoli’s?
    Or will she only find pleasure from the touch of a semi-reformed manwhore?

    “This was my first book by Apryl and I loved every minute. I couldn’t put it down and literally read this book within just a few hours. Lily and Nikoli pulled my emotions all over the place. One minute I was laughing, the next crying, then swooning, and of course I wanted to smack both of them a few times. Get ready for fast cars, a girl with a phobia, a prick of a best friend, and a hotheaded dirty mouth manwhore.” ~ Saint and Sinners Books

    “Love, love, love this story. I ended up staying up all night to read the story and I had to work the next morning. Thank you for such a wonderful read and I can’t wait to read more in the series.” ~ Amazon Reviewer

    “I felt every emotions there possibly is it seems while reading this amazing book! To overcome something is remarkable! To fight for what you want, unbelievable! This is just an amazing book to add to your list of books to read or to grab right now and read!” ~ Stormy Nights Reviewing & Bloggin’

    So who am I? Well, I’m the crazy girl with an imagination that never shuts up. I LOVE scary movies. My friends laugh at me when I scare myself watching them and tell me to stop watching them, but who doesn’t love to get scared? I grew up in a small town nestled in the southern mountains of West Virginia where I spent days roaming around in the woods, climbing trees, and causing general mayhem. Nights I would stay up reading Nancy Drew by flashlight under the covers until my parents yelled at me to go to sleep.
    Growing up in a small town, I learned a lot of values and morals, I also learned parents have spies everywhere and there’s always someone to tell your mama you were seen kissing a particular boy on a particular day just a little too long. So when you get grounded, what is there left to do? Read! My Aunt Jo gave me my first real romance novel. It was a romance titled “Lord Margrave’s Deception.” I remember it fondly. But I also learned I had a deep and abiding love of mysteries and anything paranormal. As I grew up, I started to write just that and would entertain my friends with stories featuring them as main characters.

    Now, I live Huntersville, NC where I entertain my niece and nephew and watch the cats get teased by the birds and laugh myself silly when they swoop down and then dive back up just out of reach. The cats start yelling something fierce…lol.

    I love books, I love writing books, and I love entertaining people with my silly stories.
