COVER REVEAL: PICKED BY JETTIE WOODRUFF


Available at the end of July 2014
It started with a game, a very fun computer game, but curiosity–and a desire to know a life so intriguing and different from my own–got the better of me. I had just started to venture out with my own work at my father’s private investigating firm when our paths crossed on purpose. My purpose. I never expected things to go the way they did. I never expected him to be so nice and handsome. I couldn’t be number four. How could any woman love a man with more than one wife? Not only was it impossible, it was ridiculous. 

There was no way I was getting any closer. I was going to get in, dig around a little, and get out. That’s it. Does anything ever turn out the way we plan? Becker Cole’s wives were not the typical, obedient little housewives wearing aprons and submitting to him I had pegged them to be. They were cute, young and full of life. I loved them. All three of them. And somehow, I loved Becker too. Could I swallow the persona that society expected me to be and share him, or was this too much? Was I ready to be a part of this world? 
And if I wasn’t… could I just walk away?



As most of you know I am Jettie Woodruff, author of the Amazon bestselling Underestimated series. I also hate bios...
I am a lifelong writer, published for a couple years now. I write romance, erotica, and some dark erotica. The main thing people need to know about my writing is, I don't really write your normal, cliché, romance. I like to write on the edge where I like to keep my readers.
My main goal when I write is to pull every emotion possible from my readers. I want you to, laugh, feel sad, get pissed off, and be happy. I also like to make you question your morals. That is probably my aim more so than anything, make you fall in love with the bad guy. Sometimes I can pull it off and sometimes not so much. I guess it depends on your forte. I like to write about the bad boy, and have you fall in love with him.
I have always read, for as long as I can remember. My first taste of a dark read was VC Andrew's, Casteel series. I need to read that one again.
I am overwhelmed with the support and friends that I have made throughout my endeavor, and thank each and every one of you personally for all you do to help, for promoting me, for recommending my books, and most of all for those little IM's that I get throughout the day from people who love my work. Thanks guys, you're all my rocks, and live in my heart.

REVIEW: Beatless by Amber L. Johnson



Mallory Durham has been left behind and it is making her feel less like an adult and more like an afterthought. 

Divorce, sickness, educational aspirations being shattered, and her Aunt Sam moving into her home, have made Mal's life nearly unrecognizable to her.

When Tucker Scott re-enters her life along with his band, will they offer what she needs to once again find her voice and self confidence or will it strip her of it even more?

Told through the dual voices of Mallory as she navigates her new world, and Aunt Sam's letters to her niece, Beatless tells the story of two women at very different points in their life, fighting the same battles; proving that no matter what age a person is, there are always lessons to be learned.

ADRI'S  REVIEW:

Thank you to Amber L. Johnson for providing me a copy of this book so I could bring you this review. If I wasn't already in love with this author and her writing I would be head over heals after this book.

Now I will admit I didn't really like Mallory our main character at the beginning of this story... I found her to be very immature, but then again I now understand that was the point. This story is about her growth from a spoiled teenager to a more mature young woman. And by the end of the book I really enjoyed her.

Tucker was a great character and one that you can see how misunderstood he was in his younger years. And he has a lot of responsibility for such a young man. He to me is what helps Mal mature and grow into a new better person.

My favorite character though is Sam Mallory's aunt. She gives Mal the kick in the ass she needs to get back into the world and not let depression and dispare take over her life. 

Now I have to say this story had be crying big, fat, snotty tears, and when I made the comment to Amber she very happily replied she wasn't sorry about that, and she shouldn't be. That is exactly the reaction that she was aiming for and helped it come across perfectly.

So you want to be taken away to a world where life isn't perfect, but you learn to grow up and try to make the best out of the situations life hands you, then this is definitely the book for you.

Happy Reading... Adri

This futuristic fantasy romance series is set in the near future after a massive earthquake unleashes magickal Demons who have been trapped beneath the Earth's crust for the last thousand years. When they burst to the surface, their energy fries all electrical systems and throws the Human world into an industrial apocalypse. In this post-apoc, dystopian world Humans are caught between the warring Demons and their mortal enemy, the Fae. Demons and Fae draw magickal power from Human emotions. Each side gains victories and suffers defeats. But lately the Demons have been increasing in power exponentially, while the Fae are growing weaker. But the Fae have plans to change their luck

Captain Alan Silvestri is a man haunted by a strange curse. Good luck is his to command, but it comes at the cost of any place to call home or people to reckon as family. Resigned to die and shunned by all, he is forced to sail every three days, until he begins to dream of a special woman. Treated by our youth-oriented society as invisible and sexless, Emily Pawes is ready to move on with life. She attends a pirate festival, hoping to recapture the make-believe magic she knew as a young woman. Lucky to win an interesting bit of booty at a brick-a-brac stand, she finds herself transported by the Kraken's mirror through a magical portal to a land of Hollywood piratitude, where swashbuckling heroes own iPods. With little choice, Emily embraces the madness. Playing pirate has to be safer than falling into the arms of handsome Captain Silvestri, right? When they meet, sparks fly, passion flares. He needs her to be free, but more than that, he needs her to be whole. Setting sail and uncertain of who actually controls the wheel, they seek ways to defeat his curse of good luck and discover the Kraken's mirror has plans for them. Will Emily stay in this pirate haven to fight alongside him or will he lose her because of his curse?

Author: Riley J. Ford Genre: An Erotic Romance Parody/Romantic Comedy Published Date: February 10, 2013
~Synopsis~
What happens when you try 50 Shades in the REAL world?   When accountant Ben Weaver awakens after an erotic dream, he encounters a wife who is unwilling, uninterested, and who once again has a headache. The unworldly but focused Ben decides he will do anything to rekindle his sex life, including imitating the erotic techniques of billionaire Christian Grey from the Fifty Shades series. Unable to withstand the pent-up ache radiating from his tender blue testicles, Ben decides to take Grey's methods to a whole new level in order to relieve the pressure on his . . . er, marriage. Shocked by her husband's unusual plan, Kate Weaver hesitates in giving him what he desires. But for all his trappings of non-success--his ordinary accounting job where coworkers steal his sandwiches and brag about their sex lives, his lack of wealth, his inability to seduce his own wife--Ben is a man with one saving talent: the driving determination to reignite his sex life no matter what it takes. When the couple embarks on a daring and dangerous physical adventure, Kate discovers her husband's fanatical zeal to explore all of Christian Grey's darkest desires, with calamitous results. Erotic, hilarious, and highly disturbing, Fifty Shades of Fifty Shades of Grey is a spin-off that will titillate you, amuse you, and stay with you until the next erotic romance crosses your Kindle.

    Eternal Ever After photo 18891482_zpse80b7939.jpg Spice Box Title: Eternal Ever After (Ever After #1) Author: A.C. James Genre: Paranormal Romance Erotica Published Date: April 3, 2014
~Synposis~
His past holds a secret... Arie Cush has a secret that he thought he'd left behind. When his past follows him to Chicago he must protect someone that reminds him of all the painful memories he's tried so hard to forget. But when every touch from her sets his heart and body on fire--he finds it hard to maintain his aloof façade. ...that becomes her nightmare. Holly Ellis has secrets of her own. An encounter with the handsome stranger who frequents her coffee shop reveals a vampire with baggage. Even though it might be more than she bargained for, she can't resist the one person who understands her. But her life is in danger and a supernatural threat could reveal the underground world of vampires to humankind in this Gothic Cinderella re-telling. Heat Level: This book is a steamy romance. It's the development of a romantic relationship that contains more explicit language and sex. The sex is not an inherent part of the story, character growth, or relationship development, and if removed you still have an amazing plot.  Warning: This book is fictitious. The bdsm portrayed in this story does not portray the lifestyle. Vampires will be vampires. They don't exactly stop to discuss a scene, pain thresholds, and there is no aftercare involved. Trust is an intrinsic part of the lifestyle. Use due diligence and research before deciding to make fiction into reality.

Stories always feature strong heroines and alpha heroes, all of them from the heart, capturing the intense emotions of love and passion, with plenty of action, twists, and turns that will keep you turning pages. She’ll dominate your desires until the very last page that climaxes in a happily ever after.

Erin's Review
 This was such a different take on bdsm romance! It had a bit of everything, suspense, intrigue, romance and hot steamy sex scenes. I would love for this to be a tv show! It reminds me of Scandal with a bdsm element. The characters are strong and likable, the plot will have you wondering what's next and the sex will have you blushing. The story has a wonderful build up to a fast paced ending that suits the main characters well. If you are looking for suspense with a bit of a twist, this is your book!

And when dark secrets and temptations rise to the surface, the fallout might break them apart forever.

Erin's Review
 I love Olivia and Dean's story. It is written to put the reader smack in the middle of their issues and you can't help but pull for the two to work things out. Olivia is trying to find herself, it seemed to me. She needs to find her niche. Dean is the hot nerd. I would sit in on his lectures and hang on his every word. 
 I loved that Olivia needed to do something that was hers. I also love that Dean was supportive. Then the cracks appeared. This isn't your typical romance where everything comes up roses. These two face real issues that could happen to any of us. I cannot wait to start the next book to see where Olivia and Dean's story takes them.

That time has come and for the eight Sons of Navarus, this war will test all their strength and courage. They must unlock the secrets of the Prophecy of Idolas to defeat the Archons or perish in trying for none of their kind can be safe if the Archons win this battle.

Erin's Review
 The thing that I loved about this book is that is it not your typical billionaire dom. He's a dirt poor conductor that doesn't have the slightest clue about the bdsm lifestyle and his sub, Sara, came to him under the most unusual circumstances.
 Cal and Sara navigate through their newfound "relationship" like a finely orchestrated symphony but not without some issues. Did Cal's Uncle Bruno have an ulterior motive in mind when he made his will? And for the love of all that is Holy, I need more Mac! I need to find out what makes that lawyer tick. I enjoyed him as much as I did Cal. Loved this different take on this trope. It was refreshing and I loved Sara and Cal's story

REVIEW: The Millionaire Affair by Jessica Lemmon

LOVE IS A DEAL BREAKER . . . 

Millionaire ad executive Landon Downey has a policy: no romantic relationships allowed. So when he's saddled with his six-year-old nephew for a week, he doesn't think twice about asking Kimber Reynolds to act as live-in nanny. What he doesn't expect is the undeniable attraction to the woman he hasn't seen since they were kids. And not only does she like him back-she suggests they work their way down a list of extracurricular activities in the bedroom. How can he resist?

Kimber wants to prove once and for all that she can love 'em and leave 'em with the best of them. All she has to do is keep her sixteen-year crush on Landon out of the equation. No problem . . . until she realizes she may not be the only one whose heart has gotten completely tangled up in their no-strings agreement.

Adri's Review:

I want to take a moment to Thank NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this book so as I could bring you this review.

This is one of those the man with money falls for the girl that struggles. It's to me one of those feel good kind of stories that are fun to read while out sitting by the water getting some sun this summer. 

I also enjoyed the fact that Kimber was familiar with not only Landon but with the rest of his family from such a young age.  There are things that I do have to say were close to bringing me to tears, but they were worked out nicely. It also introduces us to characters that left me wanting to know what would happen to them in the future.

Happy Reading... Adri

REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: The Saint (The Original Sinners:The White Years) by Tiffany Reisz






In the beginning, there was him. 

Gutsy, green-eyed Eleanor never met a rule she didn't want to break. She's sick of her mother's zealotry and the confines of Catholic school, and declares she'll never go to church again. But her first glimpse of beautiful, magnetic Father Søren Stearns and his lust-worthy Italian motorcycle is an epiphany. Suddenly, daily Mass seems like a reward, and her punishment is the ache she feels when they're apart. He is intelligent and insightful and he seems to know her intimately at her very core. Eleanor is consumed—and even she knows that can't be right. 

But when one desperate mistake nearly costs Eleanor everything, it is Søren who steps in to save her. She vows to repay him with complete obedience…and a whole world opens before her as he reveals to her his deepest secrets. 

Danger can be managed—pain, welcomed. Everything is about to begin.

Erin's Review ~5+ Stars~

Once upon a time, I had The Siren on my Kindle. It sat there and sat there until I picked it up and started reading. Over the course of 2 days I devoured the entire series and had the worst book hangover in history....then came The Saint, and I was cured until I reached the end, and once again I have one hell of a hangover.
 I will admit, there were times in the Red Years, I didn't like Soren very much. I wanted Nora to ride off in the sunset with Wesley, hell even Zack or Kingsley, anyone but Soren. Then I read The Saint. To truly understand the love between Nora and Soren, you must read this book. I fell in love with him right along with Nora. From the first word I was sucked in and couldn't wait to see what antics Nora would pull next. She's feisty, pushes the limits and I simply adore her. From the very beginning, Soren begins his training of our snarky Nora. Discipline is key and is paramount. Their relationship is an intricate balance of love, discipline and submission. Their history is beautiful, we well as heart wrenching. The way Tiffany wrote the entire story puts you right there with them. You feel how strong Soren's faith is and I admire him for it. Even Nora, with her questions about the church, is drawn in. He truly is a priest of the people. Faith means everything to him. Soren is such a complex character and he is written in such a way that the reader is left in awe of him. You fear him, you revere him, and you worship him. Just like Nora. 
 You know where ever Soren and Nora are, Kingsley can't be too far behind. He is my favorite, I love that sassy Frenchman. The dynamics of the threesome's relationship begin to become apparent very early on. I can't wait to see how everything unfolds. 
 This series is my absolute favorite. If you think this is just a tale of a sadistic priest and his submissive, I pity the fact that you cannot see the absolute beauty in this story. Soren's faith is unshakable, Nora's snark will have you laughing and Kingsley will have you leaving your panties on the floor at a crook of an eyebrow. The Saint is my favorite of the series to date. This book is a must read.

Nora and Kingsley finally meet
The whistling sound grew closer. Søren took her hand in his.
“Eleanor, allow me to apologize in advance.”
“Apologize? For what?”
“For him.”
“Who? Moi?” asked the man who strolled through the nearest door and right up to them. “I hope I’m interrupting something.”
Eleanor’s eyes widened at the sight of the man.
“I love that reaction.” He pointed at Eleanor’s face. “That is the ‘you didn’t tell me how pretty he was’ look, oui?”
“Didn’t I almost punch you on a set of stairs once?” she asked him.
“You broke into my house. What do you have to say for yourself?”
“You have Eddie Vedder hair,” Eleanor said, which was the only thing she had to say for herself. She was still trying to recover from the shock of the man. He wore the most amazing suit she’d ever seen in her life. Black trousers, riding boots, long black jacket, black and silver embroidered vest. He had dark shoulder-length hair and a face that belonged on a male model. And to make matters even worse, he was French. So this was the brother-in-law? The best friend? The Kingsley?
He picked up her hand as if to kiss the back of it, but at the last second he raised her fingertips to his nose and sniffed them. She pulled her hand back. 
“So this is elle?
“This is she. Eleanor, this is Kingsley. Kingsley, Eleanor. Now please go back to the rectory, Kingsley, before Eleanor starts liking you.”
“Liking me more than you, you mean. Too late. Isn’t it?”
“You are seriously French,” she said.
“Would you like to see how French I am?” He imposed himself between her and Søren and stared down at her with the most seductive expression she’d ever seen on the face of a man with all his clothes on.
“Kingsley, please,” Søren said.
“I’m not talking to you. I’m talking to her.”
Kingsley stepped even closer.
“How old are you?” he asked her.
“Seventeen. How old are you?”
“Thirty. Is your hymen intact?”
Eleanor stood up straighter.
“Is your brain intact?”
“I ask for a reason.” He shook his finger in her face to hush her. “I fucked a virgin last week. I didn’t mean to.”
“What happened? You trip and fall into her hymen?”
“You jest but do you know how hard it is to get blood off raw silk upholstery?” Kingsley asked, sounding positively perturbed. “She could have told me before I fucked her. I would have put a towel down first. But c’est la guerre. What’s the etiquette for accidentally fucking a virgin? Should I send flowers? If I fucked you and broke your hymen what would you want from me after?”
“Hair of the dog that bit me?” Eleanor suggested her father’s favorite hangover cure. “Fuck me again?”
Kingsley looked her up and down. He seemed to like what he saw.
“Would you like to play a round of Justine and the naughty monk with me?”
“Never heard of it.”
“I swear I will have you arrested,” Søren said to Kingsley. He sounded stern but Eleanor saw amusement in his eyes.
“Have you ever read Justine by Le Marquis de Sade? Wonderful book. Little twelve-year-old Justine runs away to a monastery and the monks rape her and subject her to orgies and beatings over and over again. So that’s how you play the game. Shall we?”
“How do we know who wins?”
“Whoever has lost the least blood by the end of the game wins.”
“Sounds fun,” Eleanor said. “I’ll play the monk. You play Justine.”
“Why, Kingsley,” Søren said in a taunting tone, “it’s like she knows you already.”
Kingsley only gazed at her a moment and she sensed him taking stock of her. The smile left his face, the amusement disappeared from his eyes. In a warning tone the man addressed Søren.
“You are asking for so much trouble with this one, mon ami.”
“He didn’t ask for trouble,” Eleanor interjected. “I offered.”
Kingsley nodded his approval.
“You weren’t exaggerating,” he said to Søren.
Søren put his mouth near Kingsley’s ear.
“I told you so,” Søren said in a stage whisper.
“Can I have her?” Kingsley asked. Søren replied something in French, something that made Kingsley grin even more broadly.
“What did he say?” she asked Kingsley.
“He said, ‘Wait your turn.’”
She glared at Søren, who only shrugged as if Kingsley had lied to her. She knew he hadn’t.
“She doesn’t like my translation.”
“She should learn French,” Søren said. Kingsley nodded his agreement.
“Hello!” Eleanor waved her hands. “I’m still here. I can hear you both talking about me. And you, I can see you giggling.” She stabbed the center of Søren’s chest with her finger.
He gave her an affronted look.
“Priests don’t giggle.”
“What are you looking at?” she demanded of Kingsley, who seemed to be undressing her with his eyes.
“She’s spirited, this one,” Kingsley said to Søren.
“Unholy spirited,” Søren agreed.
Kingsley turned his attention back to her.
“Why do you have your clothes on?” 
“Was I supposed to take them off?”
“I’ve never heard a stupider question in my life,” he said with a very French, very disgusted sigh. “You weren’t supposed to have them on to start with.”
“I get it,” Eleanor said to Kingsley. “I do. You’re Prince Charming if Prince Charming wasn’t charming.”
“And wasn’t a prince but a king.” 
Kingsley raked her body with his eyes. She might have been embarrassed by his nakedly hungry stare but he had a French accent, Eddie Vedder hair and the power to annoy Søren. The man got a free pass to make a pass.
Kingsley finally spoke again.
“I could lose my watch inside you.”
