EXCERPT REVEAL: All of Me (Inside Out Series Book #6) by Lisa Renee Jones

Sneak Peek Excerpt
We say a quick goodbye, and to my shock, the instant I push the “end” button, Chris pulls the 911 to the shoulder of the road, puts it in park and turns to me. “Talk to me. What just happened?”
You stopped to ask me what happened?”
“Yes. I stopped to ask what happened. Now, tell me.”
My lashes lower a moment as I savor just how good this man is to me. I curl my fingers on my cheek. “Thank you for stopping, but really, there was nothing worthy of concern. Let’s go to the chateau.”
“After you tell me what happened,” he orders, but the tenderness lacing the stubborn determination of his tone wins me over, as does his sincerity. He really cares and I am truly not alone anymore.
“When Katie wanted to know if there was anyone on my side of the family to coordinate with, it hit a nerve. I started worrying about Ella, and thinking about my father, who I don’t want to come to our wedding. I truly don’t, yet somehow, the very fact that I don’t gives him the power to twist me in knots.”
Chris nods. “As did my father to me, no matter how much of a bastard he became. Sometimes I think the worse he treated me, the more I wanted to win back his affection.”
I’d seen glimpses of these feelings before now, but this is the first time he’s spoken them aloud. “Maybe it’s some inborn need to feel close to a parent?”
“That’s the only conclusion I could come to when I couldn’t let him go. I still can’t. He’s always with me, making sure I stay just a little more fucked up.”
“If you’re fucked up, it’s all kinds of right, Chris Merit. That charity work Tristan talked about? You don’t just throw money at it. You give pieces of your soul to those kids and their families. You make a difference and I’ll be honored to help you do it.”
He pulls my hand to his mouth and kisses my fingers. “Let’s elope. Anyplace you want to go. Say the word and as far as I’m concerned we’ll go tomorrow.”
“What? No. We decided on Katie and Mike’s place together. And my ring isn’t even done.”
“This isn’t about a ring. Or Katie and Mike, or anyone else. It’s about us and I don’t want you worried about your father or the guest list. You know I’m not big on attention anyway.”
I lace my fingers with his. “You’re trying to protect me and I appreciate that, but I want to get married under those hanging rose your mother inspired Katie to plant.”
“Don’t do this for me, baby. I just want to spend the rest of my life with you. That’s all I need.”
“It’s for us. You know my father is just a hot button for me. I’ll get by it. And truth be told, I’m a little raw over Amber, too. That night here in Paris when I went to the club I had this sense I needed to save her. I shouldn’t have listened to that feeling.”
“Don’t do that to yourself. You barely knew her.”
“Yet, on some level I felt her screaming for help. But I second-guessed myself and thought it was Rebecca and Ella influencing my feelings.”
“You were a lot of the reason I pushed to get Amber help, Sara. It was just too little too late. That’s on me, not you.”
“No-”
“Yes,” he says, stroking the hair out of my eyes, his hand staying at the back of my head. “Now here’s what’s going to happen. We’re going to leave this all right here and I’m going to drive us the fifteen minutes we have left to get to the chateau, where we’re going to fuck like rabbits. Then, we’re going to eat and fuck some more. After we sleep, we’ll set some rules with Katie about the wedding so you won’t worry about it and then we’ll fuck some more. And since I had the caretaker that lives in the house behind the chateau stock enough food to last us a week, we can stay in bed for days on end. Any objections so far?”
I smile and not just at his words, but at his rapid shift from dark Chris, to playful, sexy Chris. “And if I do?”
He, leans closer to me, his breath on my ear. “I’ll just tie you to the bed.”
Yes. Please. My list of objections begins to form.

  Nicole At one time, I had everything I wanted in life. Or I thought I did, but I lived in black and white. Then, he exploded into my world. Dragon. He’s hot-blooded, cocky, stubborn as hell, and he drives me crazy. With him everything is more...It’s more vibrant, more exciting, more...real. Suddenly I have everything to lose. In fact, I’m terrified that I might not be strong enough to hold on to it all. Because I’m learning with life, there are no hearts and flowers. Sometimes, there is just darkness. --- Dragon “Detroit” West There’s one thing I know about life. You have to grab it by the throat and go at it full throttle. Thrown away with the garbage on the day I was born, hooked on crack before I even take my first breath and doing what I had to do just to survive— That’s who I am. I’m the filth your mother warned you about. The Savage MC is the only family I’ve ever had, the only ones I can depend on. Then she walks into my life. Nicole. Nothing like what I expected, sassy, smart and sexy as hell. She’s everything I could want and more. Our worlds don’t mix. I’m only going to drag her down. She should have never let me touch her… Life can tear you into shreds, make you bend until you break. Sometimes, you have to face death, so you can live.

REVIEW: Want It by Jennifer Chance



In the latest tantalizing Rule Breakers novel from Jennifer Chance, an irresistible alpha male follows his ex into a deadly standoff—and reignites a heated affair.

For Erin Connelly, being a good girl isn’t such a bad thing. She’s working her dream job at a Boston art gallery and staying out of trouble, which is more than she can say for her deadbeat mom. Unfortunately, her mother’s latest misadventure lands her in the clutches of a Mexican drug lord. Now the only person who can save her is the one man Erin has no business asking for help: the sexy-as-sin army ranger who just so happens to be her former high school sweetheart.

Zander James is no gentleman—and no officer, either, thanks to Erin. Four years ago, she made a call that terminated his highest aspirations . . . and their relationship. He’s never forgiven her, but when he learns that Erin’s embarking on a half-baked rescue mission, he sure as hell can’t let her go alone. Now, with a treacherous enemy lying in wait, the electrifying tension between them may just be Zander’s undoing. Because while he may be able to keep Erin alive, he can’t promise to keep his hands off her.

Praise for the novels of Jennifer Chance

“Rock It is perfect for those of us who like our books the way we like our rockers: smart, sexy, sweet, and a damn good time!”—New York Times bestselling author Lexi Ryan

“Fun, flirty, and fantastic! Fake It is one sweet and exciting ride.”—New York Times bestselling author Tracy Wolff


“Sometimes outrageous, often funny, and always sexy . . . I love this author’s voice, I love these books . . . and I absolutely love her bad-boy heroes.”—Guilty Pleasures Book Review

ADRI'S REVIEW:

I would first like to thank NetGalley and Random House, Loveswept for providing us with a copy of this book so that we could bring you this review. 

Ok now if you all have been following this blog for a while you know very well how much I LOVE second chance love stories. And you also know that I have been following this series from Jennifer Chance for a while time. 

Erin is a great character that is willing to do anything for the around her, even someone that hasn't bothered to worry about her most of her life. She is willing to go through everything to help her mother (a character I really didn't care for, which I think was Ms Chance's idea). Erin has always had to work at keeping a head when all those around her are reckless even the love of her life. In the end that recklessness is what causes the end of their relationship as teenagers.

Zander (who by the way I loved the name) is sexy, strong, but so filled of anger. Hurt has been such a strong motivator for so many years for him. But so has his love for Erin. He is even willing to put his life on the line for her. Ms. Chance has done a good job of writing such a sexy character I wished I could go through the book and pull him out to do all kinds of things to him... Or better yet, let him do to me what he did to Erin in the book.

I HAPPILY give this book FIVE big wet kisses.

Happy Reading... Adri

Excerpt (Below)
The door slammed behind them, cutting out the noise of the club below.  Diablo flicked his eyes over the room, habit more than anything else.  Dim lighting, huge bed, couch in the corner, no lurking bad guys and a solid lock on the door.  A lot better place for a hook up than some of the places he had been.  Then he looked over at Griff and saw that the man had done the same thing.  Checked the place out, deemed it safe enough.  Something was off, but not enough to pierce Diablo’s lust.  But he couldn’t help himself. 
Looking up at Griff’s handsome face he asked quietly, “What are you?”  A dark look passed over Griff’s face, fading as quickly as it was there, replaced by his trademark grin.
“A wolf shifting mechanic looking to get laid.  What are you?”
Hmm, okay.  There was more to Griff than that, and Diablo knew it, but then Griff leaned over him, pushing his body up against the door with his chest.  Leaving his hands rested on the door above Diablo’s head, Griff leaned his head down and placed his lips on Diablo’s pressing ever so gently.  Diablo gasped as his cat suddenly went into a frenzy of want and he pushed his lips closer to Griff’s desperately seeking more of the same.
Still grinning, Griff pulled back and whispered against his lips, “What are you?  Don’t lie now.”
Diablo’s brain was scrambled and the man in front of him had barely kissed him.  His cat was going crazy and his cock was throbbing so hard he was going to come in his pants if he wasn’t careful.  Fuck he wasn’t a teenager, he was twenty eight years old for goodness sake, but Diablo had never felt this alive and he wanted Griff more than anything in his life.
Panting hard and not thinking at all Diablo blurted out, “Agency…undercover…Louisiana…cat shifter…please.” 
Griff chuckled as he muttered, “God you Feebs are so easy.  Pleasure will get you over torture every time.” 

Teaser
He held Griff a moment longer and then stroked the man’s face.  “Are you okay?”
“Yes lover.”  Griff looked at him with his bright green eyes.  “Thanks to you I am more than okay.”
“Great,” said Diablo with a grin. “So where’s that coffee you promised me?  Being a wolf pup’s chew toy takes it out of a man you know.”

REVIEW: The Club (The Club #1) by Lauren Rowe


Synopsis
When playboy businessman Jonas Faraday receives a private note from the anonymous intake agent assigned to process his online application to an exclusive club, he becomes obsessed with finding her and giving her the satisfaction she claims has always eluded her, in order to fulfill his own desperate need for redemption.

Sarah: “When I read Jonas Faraday’s brutally honest personal message on his application to The Club—I practically climaxed at my desk. I’m an idiot to risk losing my job but I couldn’t resist contacting him. I knew my confession would be like dangling an irresistible carrot in front of his nose—but never in a million years did I think he’d actually hunt me down.”

Jonas: “I was shocked to get my intake agent’s email—I’d attached that note to my application on a whim, never expecting a reply from an actual person, let alone a reply as mind blowing as that. Her message was so alluring, so irresistible, I’ve been spiraling into a full-blown obsession ever since I got it. What’s her name? What does she look like? Finding her is my top priority.”

In The Club, what starts out as an innocent exploration of attraction quickly spirals into a steamy story of unbridled passion, obsession, heartbreak, and, ultimately, redemption

My Review
Let me start off by saying, this book was NOT what I expected! It was so much more! Lauren Rowe took what could have easily been one of the most cockiest alphas I have ever read and made him smart, funny, witty and oh so loveable! Jonas is an ass, he freely admits it. He has no qualms about it either. He is the typical, hit it and quit it, love 'em and leave 'em...you get the point. Then his oh-so-beautiful-intake agent enters the picture. You will adore Sarah! She is snarky, smart, witty...Jonas's perfect match. She gives as good as he does and isn't afraid to stand up to him. There were several times I was cracking up at their conversations. They were priceless. 
These two are right up there for one of my favorite book couples. Their story has a bit of everything, humor, wit, snark, intrigue, drama and of course, steamy sex!  Don't think it's all smooth sailing for the couple. Sometimes secrets have a way of making things a bit difficult.
If you love your sex with a side of snark, this is the book for you. I have to give it 5 stars. Can't wait for the next 2 books!

Excerpt  
“Addison?” Talon calls my name from the front of the bus. I, on the other hand, am still trying to get over what happened in the room a few minutes ago. I jumped down, the bus stopped and I fell into Talon’s arms and HOLY FUCK! He was hard as a god-damn rock and it was pressing against my hip. But his eyes were alight with lust and my god, his lips twitched with a need to kiss me. Ultimately, the look that was exchanged between Kyle and Talon was beyond anything I have comprehension for. I could spend months analyzing that look, but instead I need to pull up my big girl panties and get to work. “Be right there,” I shout back. “Hurry up. There’s people waiting for you.” What the fuck? “I’m coming.” Oh fuck, that was the wrong choice of words to use, especially after what just happened. Thank god there is a mirror in our room. I adjust myself and climb back into my heels, fluff my hair and check my make-up, pinch my cheeks and straighten my skirt. If I didn’t know better, I’d think I was straightening up after a mid-day sexcapade on a tour bus. I roll my eyes at myself. It might as well have been. “Get your shit together, Addison. You’ve been here for like five hours out of twelve weeks,” I whisper, then steel myself as I head back to the front of the bus. When I come around the corner it’s just Talon and Kyle with two more members of the men in black patrol. I smile sweetly at them.

REVIEW: Until You Find Me by Amber Hart



Amber Hart pushes contemporary romance to its wildest limits in this heart-pounding novel, the story of a girl who travels to Africa to protect the legacy of one man . . . and stays for the love of another.

Raven Moore, a twenty-year-old college student from Michigan, feels out of place in the beautiful, treacherous jungles of Cameroon, staying in the habitat where her father gave his life to help protect endangered gorillas. He left home years ago; now Raven refuses to return home until she unravels the truth about his last days.

Raven certainly doesn’t count on crossing paths with a handsome young hunter—especially one as charismatic and intense as Jospin Tondjii. Instantly, she’s hooked. But Jospin is hiding a dark truth: He is the heir to a powerful poaching empire, part of a ruthless black market that is responsible for the dwindling gorilla population.


Their fathers may have been enemies, but Raven and Jospin forge a bond that goes beyond blood, a relationship that is tested as Raven draws closer to the source of her father’s death. Can she and Jospin bear the weight of the secrets of the wild—and the secrets of their pasts? Or will the rain forest destroy them both?

ADRI'S REVIEW:

As always I want to thank Random House, Loveswept and NetGalley for providing us with a copy of this book so that we can bring you this review. 

OK I have to admit when I first started to read this story I didn't think that I was going to be able to finish it. It wasn't easy for me to read about poaching or the things they do to hurt animals. I also didn't think that there was going to be redeeming qualities for Jospin, but Ms. Hart did a great job of bringing it all together. My heart hurt for Raven and the anger she carried around with her most of the time. She was so full of anger and hate, but I loved the fact that a gorilla was able help her heal. Which is one of the reasons it was so hard for me to read the parts where the poachers glorified and justified what they do to the beautiful animals. 

I will say a big thing of this book though that I REALLY didn't like (of course other than the poaching), was that this book ends in a bit of cliffy. So be prepared to have to wait for the next book and read that one (whenever it becomes available).

I give this book four kisses, mostly because of the cliffhanger and the poaching scenes.

Happy Reading... Adri
