    Hi there, everyone! I’m Michelle Roth and I’m here to introduce my latest release, Trouble Walked In [The Forsaken Few 1]. This story started as a submission for the Bad Alpha Anthology but quickly grew out of control with regards to word count. There was no way I was going to be able to tell the story I wanted to in a measly 10,000 words!

    Once it was clear that I wasn’t going to be able to tell the story I really wanted to tell, I decided the book was more important than the anthology. It became MUCH easier from then on! I decided that rather than just a wolf shifter story that I would make this about something larger. Lorelei, Florida was born.

    Each forsaken by their own kind, a small community of shifters from all walks of life have come together to form an unbreakable bond that defies the laws of nature. Both the hunters and the hunted stand side by side to protect themselves from all who would threaten their way of life.

    Troublewalkedin-evernightpublishing-jayAheer2015-smallpreviewThis is Ronan and Moira’s story…

    The moment Moira Devereaux walks into his bar, Shapeshifter Ronan Kelly knows she’s going to be trouble. No matter how tempting she is, he won’t risk the safety of his makeshift pack. He has every intention of sending her on her way until he hears her compelling story.

    When Moira’s father, the mayor of Lorelei, tries to force her to wed a man she doesn’t know, she runs to one place he won’t follow. The local shifter bar. Nothing could have prepared her for the immediate attraction she feels for the owner, Ronan.

    In a moment of weakness, Ronan offers her a job and a place to stay despite his misgivings. No one is more shocked than he is when he discovers that she’s his mate. Will he be able to convince her that he’s worth taking a risk on or will he be forced to let her go?

    Excerpt

    Twenty minutes later, his energy restored, he wandered into the kitchen. He grinned when he found Moira making a sandwich. “Hey, gorgeous,” he said, feeling lighter than he had in a very long time. He leaned in and pressed a kiss to her neck.Hungry?” she asked, tilting her head to the side. When he continued to press light kisses against her skin, she set the package of cold cuts down on the counter. Seconds later, she leaned back against him and gave a soft hum of pleasure.Not for food,” he murmured, nipping at the soft bit of skin just below her earlobe.

    Moira pressed her hips back against him and playfully asked, “What are you hungry for then?”

    He grabbed her and held her back against him. Then he moved his mouth so that it hovered just above her ear. “You know exactly what I want, cupcake. And you’re gonna give it to me.”

    Oh, am I?” she teased, moaning softly when he began to rock his hips against hers. “What if I just wanted to eat this sandwich and go to bed?”

    His hands slipped up to cup her breasts through the thin cotton tank top she wore. Stroking her nipples, he waited until she shivered against him. “I’ll make you a deal.”

    The voice trembled with need when she asked, “What kind of deal?”

    If I reach down into your panties, and I don’t find you soaking wet,” he said, his hands trailing down her belly to work at the button of her jean shorts. “Then, by all means, have your sandwich and go to bed.”

    Okay,” she agreed, rocking her hips back against him, her feigned disinterest long gone.

    But if I do find your pussy as soaked as I think I’m gonna,” he continued, “then I own this body for the rest of the night. Sound fair?”

    Moira gave a needy whimper in response. “Fair enough.”

    You sure about that, cupcake?” he asked, his own voice rough with need. “I’m not going to go easy on you.”

    No longer able to manage the pretense of disinterest, Moira whispered, “I don’t want you to.”

    You don’t know what you’re asking for.” He groaned, his fingers slowly dragging the zipper of her shorts down. At her shuddering breath, he slipped his hand inside her panties and said, “As I suspected. Cupcake, you’re not going to sleep any time soon. You better have the sandwich, though. You might need your strength.”

    Fuck the sandwich,” Moira moaned. “Touch me.”

    My Review

    This was a touching story with laughter and even had me tearing up at points.  People say that children and animals know a person at a soul level.  This seems to be so when it comes to Cecily and Herbert.

    Out of anywhere Herbert could have scurried into, he did so into Rick’s office.  Cecily came in looking for him.  When Cecily waltzed into his office looking for her rodent, he had no idea that she would waltz right into his heart.  Once her mom, Maggie, comes to find Cece, Rick knows he is in real trouble.

    Maggie has been through a lot.  Moved in with her sister, she is working nights for a security firm whiled during the day she attends culinary school.  When her daughter wanders into an office, she had no idea that fate would step in and her life would never be the same again.

    I love how this book takes us through the precious meeting that leads to a wonderful love story.  I love how sex is not the prominent part of this story.  But most of all, I love how we follow the couple and Cece all the way through Cece is old enough to go to work herself.  I don’t feel like there is any holes in the love story of Rick and Maggie.  I am hoping that we get to know Kat’s love story next.

    Synopsis
    What happens when a single mom’s four-year-old daughter falls in love with Mr. Right and she doesn’t?

    Maggie Tyson’s rule: no bad boys. Her incarcerated ex-husband broke her of that attraction. Needing to escape his threats and the scrutiny of the people in her hometown, Maggie relocates to New York City. Determined to not make the same mistakes, she has a mile-long list of dos and don’ts. Unfortunately, her daughter, Cecily, doesn’t like to follow them. When Cecily wanders away from her and right into Rick Stone’s office, Maggie knows he’s the exact type she’s been trying to avoid. Can she resist him or will she succumb to his willful charm?

    Rick Stone’s rule: bed them don’t wed them. Running a multibillion dollar business doesn’t leave him with much time to do anything else, particularly with an overbearing grandfather breathing down his neck. But when a man works hard, he needs to play even harder. Voted America’s most eligible bachelor, Rick doesn’t have any problems getting women into his bed—except one.

    Two auburn beauties stumble into his life.  One will break his heart.  The other—heal it.  Will he love or leave them?
     

    pleading for anything and everything she could give.

    My Review

    Gavin is a member of the rock band Sphere of Irony. He always receives threatening letters, heck many stars do in one way or another, however, he now has a stalker that is leaving “gifts” no one would ever want. The label hires Mitch to help figure out who is stalking and threatening Gavin.

    Gavin wakes a part of Mitch he has denied for a long time. Once together, Gavin will rock more than just his music, he will rock Mitch’s world.

    It was interesting to watch Gavin and Mitch come to grips with their sexuatlity and their budding relationship. The last chapter was my favorite, because I am a sucker for a happy ending and that Mitch gets his song.

    Synopsis

    All Gavin Walker, bass player for the multi-platinum selling band, Sphere of Irony, wants to do is surf, play music, and occasionally get laid. The problem is that Gavin has a stalker. A potentially deadly one. The threats he receives always mention something about Gavin being gay, which isn’t public knowledge since the record label wants to keep it quiet.

    Mitch Hale used to track serial killers for the FBI. A live-changing incident led him to quit the bureau and start his own company providing computerized security for Los Angeles’ wealthiest people. Mitch doesn’t know anyone when he moves across the country from D.C. to California, and all he has for companionship is a pathetic string of failed relationships with women.

    When Gavin’s manager hires Mitch to find the stalker, the men instantly hate each other. Despite the constant fighting, attraction between the two blazes hot, confusing the former FBI agent. Spending time with Gavin forces Mitch reflect on what he’s denied about himself for the last ten years. Listening to Mitch’s plan to catch a madman thrusts Gavin’s personal life out in the open for the entire world to see.

    Can Gavin and Mitch stop fighting long enough to stop a stalker before someone gets hurt? Or will they stubbornly resist the feelings that develop when they’re forced to work together?

    This is book 3 in a 4 part series. It is a spin-off of the Famous Series. These can be read as standalones.

  • Day Blitz for Treblem Maker by Annabeth Albert

     
     
    On Perfect Harmony, the ambitious competitors heat things up on stage and off…

    Cody Rivers is determined to be a rock star, but couch-surfing between bar shows gets old fast. Joining an a cappella group for a new singing competition show could be his last chance at real fame—unless the college boy from the heart of the country messes it up for him. Lucas Norwood is everything gothy, glittery Cody is not—conservative, clean-cut, and virginal. But when a twist in the show forces them together, even the sweetest songs get steamy as the attraction between them lights up the stage. Lucas wants to take it slow, but Cody’s singing a different tune—and this time it may be a love song…

  • Curve Ball by Sloan Johnson

    My Review
    The first chapter of this book was published at the end of Wild Pitch, the first book in this series. After reading it, I immediately pmed the author and asked her when that book was coming out. Thank the Book Gods that it is now here.  
    Cam is out and proud of it. After having a pretty miserable young life, the only constant he had was his friend Drew, and cooking. As soon as he could he ran as fast and as far as he could to go to cooking school. Now that he is out, Drew invites him to live with him until he finds a job. The first day he gets there, he is told they are going to a BBQ and that they have to bring something. Not too difficult for a chef to whip something up. Only bad thing is that he really doesn’t do crowds. When they get there, he meet one the most handsome men he has ever met.  
    Jason has secrets, but when he sees Cam both are threatened to be revealed. Can he get passed one secret enough in his heart to open up to the other secret to come out? Cam is Jason’s Curve Ball.

    Jason Klein’s living with the fallout from a decision he knew was the right one at the time. He never told anyone about the love of his life, which left him to mourn alone when he found out the man he gave his heart to had been killed in combat. Now, his heart has had time to heal, but he’s not sure he’s ready to let himself move on. Until he meets Cam Morgan…

    Without a job lined up following graduation, Cam Morgan took his best friend up on his offer to move to Milwaukee and stay with him until he could get on his feet. The last thing he wanted to do the day after getting to town was go to a party filled with a bunch of jocks. Sure, they were “professional athletes” but Cam was convinced that bigger bank accounts didn’t make them any more accepting of people like him. He certainly didn’t expect to meet Jason, the Mavericks’ catcher who broke every stereotype he’d had.

    What started out as one hot, sweaty night together quickly grows into something deeper. Jason welcomes Cam into his home and his life, but now he has to teach the younger man that it’s not a sign of weakness to let people help you.

    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.
