A vivacious man-eater who's given up on love. When it comes to Lachlan and Kayla, opposites don't just attract - they explode. Kayla Moore has always been comfortable with her feisty, maneating reputation. At least it was fine until she hit her thirties and saw her best friends Stephanie and Nicola settle down with Linden and Bram McGregor, leaving Kayla to be the odd one out. Tired of being the third wheel with nothing but one-night stands and dead-end dates in San Francisco, Kayla decides to take a vow of celibacy and put men on the backburner. That is until she lays her eyes on Linden and Bramâs cousin, hot Scot Lachlan McGregor. Lachlan is her sexual fantasy come to life â tall, tatted, and built like a Mack truck. With a steely gaze and successful rugby career back in Edinburgh, heâs the kind of man that makes her want to throw her vow right out the window. But Lachlanâs quiet and intense demeanor makes him a hard man to get to know, let alone get close to. It isnât until the two of them are thrown together one long, unforgettable night that Kayla realizes there is so much more to this brooding macho man than what meets the eye. But even with sparks flying between the two, Lachlan canât stay in America forever. Now, Kayla has to decide whether to uproot her whole life and chance it all on someone she barely knows or risk getting burned once again. Sometimes love is a game that just needs to be played.

I don't know how she does it but every book Lauren Blakely turns out makes me fall for her writing more and more. This is the second book in the Sinful Nights series but can be read as a standalone. Though I do recommend reading Sweet, Sinful Nights so you can grab some of the character and plot references made in this one. Sinful Desire had everything I've come to know and love from her writing and a few surprises too. I was hooked from the first fun and flirty page. Blakely's writing, full of humor, wit and charm kept me enthralled and left me wanting so much more.
I loved the instant attraction- I could almost see it happening in slow motion: guy sees girl, does a double take, eyes bulge out of his head and practices what he is going to say as he makes the slow, steady approach towards her. But this isn't your ordinary woman. Oh, no this is Sophie, modern day Marilyn Monroe complete with a flashy car and a heart of gold. I adored her from the get go. She is equal parts selfless, sensual, sassy, smart and savvy. Deep down she is a true romantic, even though she has been burned by love in the past. She wants it all; the fairy tale happily ever after, a love that will stand the test of time. Another of the things I really liked about Sophie was the relationship she had with her brother, John who happens to be part of the Las Vegas PD (this will play a part in the story later). Ryan, sexy, dirty talking, security company owner is a man who knows what he wants- fun, no strings attached, good times with gorgeous women. But what he can't seem to get over is how much Sophie gets to him. Their chemistry is undeniable, so they don't- deny it. Ryan, being his stubborn self is determined to not let her in but as they spend more time together the inevitable happens, he falls for the amazing woman that is Sophie. They were so much alike that when they butted heads I wanted to lock them in a room so that they would just talk to each other about what was bothering them. I loved that Ryan got his family in on the act. His relationship with his siblings- Colin, Shannon and Michael melted my heart. They were all so close and had each others backs no matter what- even when they didn't agree with each other, they still loved each other, unconditionally. And when push comes to shove it is his siblings who are there for him to lean on and to knock some sense into him too. I loved the ease and lightness in Ryan and Sophie's relationship. It was a side of themselves that they didn't really let others see. However, Ryan has so much going on in his life that he is torn about really letting Sophie in on everything from his past. I liked this not so confident, apprehensive side of him. But what a can of worms is unleashed when Ryan makes a big gesture and Sophie puts her mind to work. The tragedy and mystery of the Paige-Prince family is starting to unravel. WOW! I had no idea how deep and convoluted that part of the story would become and there is so much left unknown. Very clever of Blakely to start use that story line to tie all the books together (rather than them just being because they're siblings). And that shocker at the very end- suffice it to say I didn't see that one coming at all. So, if you like your books full of charm, steam, sweetness and mystery then you will love Sinful Desire. And like me be waiting with baited breath for the next installment of this series, Sinful Longing, Colin's book. Four Star Review by Ashley
Title: Resurrecting Phoenix
Author: Isabel Lucero
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: September 24, 2015
Anniversaries are usually occasions worth celebrating, but when your fourth wedding anniversary is also the first anniversary of your husband’s death, you’ll only want to drink your sorrows away. And that’s exactly what Phoenix Nightingale does. In the small town of Breckshire Wyoming, everybody knows everybody, so when Evan Tyler walks into the same bar she’s drowning her grief in, Phoenix knows that he’s new in town. What she doesn’t know is that he’s just moved in a few houses down from her and is about to try his hardest to break through the wall she’s had up for a year. Phoenix has experienced a tragedy that nobody ever wants to experience. In the year following her husband’s death, she’s had what her parent’s considered embarrassing public meltdowns, and lost some friends along with her career. Just as she feels she’s at her very lowest, Evan barges into her life, forcing her to get out of the house and look at life a little differently. He vows to help her, encouraging her to rise from the ashes and live once again. Evan doesn’t know that just by being in her life, he’s bound to send her into a tailspin, because both of them are keeping things from each other, and Phoenix may not be strong enough to handle what she finds out. Will she pull him into the dark with her, or will he be able to resurrect Phoenix, freeing her from the depths of her depression, and show her that surviving isn’t the same as living?
I slide my arm into the crook of his and he walks me to the passenger side of his truck. When he unhooks his arm from mine, he grabs my hand and places a soft kiss on my knuckles. I flush as he opens the door and helps me inside. I take a deep breath as he walks around and climbs in. “All right, time to explore this little town of yours,” he says as he starts up the truck. “Hope you aren’t expecting much.”“There’s always a silver lining, Phoenix. And today, even if I find out there’s absolutely nothing that interests me in this town, I have you with me, and you always interest me.”My heart feels like it’s beating at rapid fire speed, but he just gives me one of his signature smiles and drives down the road like he didn’t just say one of the sweetest things I’ve ever had said to me. He seems perfect, but perfect scares me. I’m waiting for the bomb to drop. There has to be one, right? Nobody is this perfect.

The Lies Between Us (Book Four) in the Devil’s Dust MC Series by M.N Forgy is finally here!!
Cherry & Lip’s standalone romance is NOW AVAILABLE
Cherry’s life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip's arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets can’t stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry can’t speak a word or she’ll lose it all.
Lip is no stranger to the criminal life. Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. He’ll do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in prison. But nobody could have predicted life’s plan. Rugged, tattooed, and wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies than his cage could hold.
Excerpt
After he leaves, I open his wallet, reading his name, address, weight. All of it. “Phillip DeLuca.” I taste his name running off my lips as I trace my finger over his picture. He’s so handsome. He’s the kind of guy most people would be afraid of, but not me. I want to get to know him. Lost in a daydream, my car door is yanked open. “Where the fuck is it, bitch?” “What?” I shriek as I’m pulled out of the car and slammed forward onto the hot hood. “I don’t have anything!” I scream, trying to pull free. He shoves me back down on the hood. His hand tangled in my hair. “Don’t think about moving,” he spits, his tone harsh. I roll my eyes and continue leaning over the hood. My heart slams against my chest in pure panic, and my hands shake. He pulls away and leans in to the car. Within seconds, he finds his wallet. Shit. He peers at me with a fierce energy in his eyes. The intensity has me pulling off the hood, scared out of my mind. “You have some balls,” he mutters, shoving his wallet back in his pocket. His tone is soft and tender suddenly. I turn my head and eye him angrily. “Fuck you.” I cross my arms and lean my hip against the car. My choice of words more confident than I’m feeling. He steps up to me and grabs my hips hard with both hands. My skin burns, and my mouth parts with desire. His brown eyes find mine, and his hands yank my body closer to his. I feel like all the air is sucked from my lungs as I search his dark eyes. Placing my hands on his solid chest to steady myself, my palms buzz with excitement. “You’d like that, wouldn’t you?” He looks me up and down and leans in close. “You’d like it if I pushed you over the hood of this car and fucked you ‘til your legs gave out.” His words feather against my lips, he’s so close. I hold my breath, willing my body to pull away, but I don’t move. Just when I think he’s going to kiss me, he grabs my hand and pulls it upward. I furrow my brows and watch as he pulls a pen from his back pocket, pulling the cap off with his teeth. He writes his number and the word ‘Lip’ on my hand. “Call me. Don’t make me come find you, Cherry.” “Cherry?” I ask out loud. “Your swimsuit,” he yells over his shoulder before starting his bike. I look down at my white shirt noticing my cherry bikini peeking out from the bust line. A smile creeps across my face. I know I shouldn’t like him, but I kind of do. Driving past me, he winks and I swear I sigh like a damn fool.

Alex & Emerson are the new Connor & Ellery!BOOK BLURB:Never stay in one place too long. That was my motto. After the accident, at the age of eighteen, I left my home in California to travel the world, seeking out new and adventurous won-ders like my twin sister and I had planned to do since we were kids. Eight years later, I was for-ced to return home, to the one place that held the most traumatic memories for me. My money was running out and my brother, Adam, refused to send me more until we sat down and had a talk about me settling down in one place. That was when I met billionaire Alex Parker — an ar-rogant, uptight control freak who thought I would actually listen to him. Boy, did he have another thing coming. My name is Emerson James and this is my story.She was the most beautiful woman I’d ever seen. But she was mouthy and defiant, just like her brother warned me she was. She was a free spirit and very irresponsible with her life. Not my type at all. I only dated women of an upper class status — the ones who kept their mouths shut and were successful in their careers. I had everything life could offer and I was content. At least, I thought was, until Emerson James came into my life. She was getting ready to go off on another adventure and I was determined to get her to settle down in one place: California. My name is Alex Parker and this is my story.PURCHASE LINKSAmazon US | Amazon UK | Barnes & Noble | iBooks | KoboCLICK HERE TO ADD THE SEDUCTION OF ALEX PARKER TO GOODREADS.AUTHOR INFORMATION:Sandi Lynn, A New York Times, USA Today and Wall Street Journal bestselling author, spends her days writing full-time to provide her readers romance novels that will whisk them away to another world.

CD Reiss is a USA Today and Amazon bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up, she's at the well, hauling buckets.
Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere, but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels.
Critics have dubbed the books "poetic," "literary," and "hauntingly atmospheric," which is flattering enough for her to put it in a bio, but embarrassing enough for her not to tell her husband, or he might think she's some sort of braggart who's too good to chop a cord of wood.
If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Excerpt
He leans back, his lips red from kissing me, and dear fucking god, they look suckable. “Fuck, you’re so beautiful,” he rasps, making me blush. “Don’t hide from me, Em. I wanna feel your skin. See you without anything between us.” With his index finger, he tips up my chin. “I want all of you.” He leans in and presses a deep, toe-curling kiss on my lips. “Give me all of you, Em. Everything.” Oh god, why’d he have to say such a thing? I don’t know how to respond. “I—” He places a finger on my lips. “Don’t say a word. I’ll show you how good it can be.” He plants another kiss on my lips, eliciting my lips to move up with him as we separate. Damn, why do I want this so much? I’m addicted to his taste, his touch. I let him sweep me off my feet, I admit. I have no defense anymore, all my barriers are down, and I live at the moment, clinging to his lips like it’s my source of energy. This isn’t me. I don’t let guys get close so quickly, but this is Chris, and he’s gotten me deep … deep in trouble. My hardened nipples rub against his shirt as he lowers me onto the table, kissing his way down my chest. My breath hitches in my throat as he licks my nipple, circling around the crown, teasing the peak. His delicious kisses burn me to my core, and when his fingers travel down my body to my panties, they’re completely soaked. “Like this?” he groans, taking my nipple into his mouth, sucking hard. My body arches to meet him, desperate for more. I dare not say the words that come to mind; fuck, yes. I feel ashamed to admit it, but I’m letting myself fall for his seduction. Hard. “Don’t worry, babe. I’m going to give you everything you need.” He pops the button of my jeans, rips down my zipper, and takes it all off as if it comes easily to him. His mouth has my mind spinning, distracting me, but not enough for me not to notice his hand disappearing into my panties. When his fingers slide over my pussy, I gasp, my clit thumping with need. “Did you ever fantasize about this, Em? Did you ever think about me taking you hard and fast on this table right here?” I whimper as he rubs my clit, his fingers sliding down my wetness, coating me entirely. He chuckles. “No need to answer … I already know.” “What?” I mumble, lost in delirium. “Your pussy is begging me to make it come,” he murmurs, and then he gently tugs my nipple with his teeth, causing me to moan out loud. “But maybe your pussy hasn’t deserved it after making me so jealous I almost punched a guy,” he growls, and then he rips down my panties in one go. His smile is deviously sexy as I look down at him, and I’m still trying to decide whether to jab him in the face or let him fuck me until I’m drunk on love. He grins, licking his upper lip agonizingly slow as if to show me how much he has my body under his control. “But I also know you and I want this too much.” “You can get jealous all you want, but this pussy only belongs to one person and that’s me,” I retort. “Oh … we’ll see about that.” His gruff voice drags, heating me up from the inside out. Suddenly, his hands grip my waist and he lowers himself off the table, between my legs. My eyes widen as his nose dips close, sniffing my scent. After a second, he growls, “Mine.”

Title: Palm South University: Episode Four
Author: Kandi Steiner
Release Date: Sept 22, 2015
Find on Goodreads
Drama. Lies. Sex.
Welcome to Palm South University. The weather isn’t the only thing heating up in South Florida. At a school where fraternities and sororities don’t exactly play by the rules, relationships are bound to be tested. Parties and sex are definitely key ingredients in the Palm South recipe, but what happens when family issues, secret lives, and unrequited love get tossed in the mix? Follow Cassie, Bear, Jess, Skyler, Erin, Ashlei, and Adam as they tackle college at a small, private beach town university. Written in television drama form, each episode of this serial will pull you deeper and deeper into the world of PSU. Where the sun is hot and the clothes are scarce, anything can happen.
“Are you okay?”
“Peachy,” I remark, snatching my board from the ground. The quick motion of bending over and standing upright again sends me spinning and Jarrett’s hands find my waist to steady me again. “My phone on the other hand, not so much.”
At that, Jarrett’s lips twitch into a devilish smirk. “It was a necessary casualty.”
My heartbeat quickens and my mouth feels like I swallowed cotton. I know Jarrett can sense it. He feels my nerves. He can feel me trembling. I know, because he’s smirking wider now, his dark eyes hooded in a mixture of lust and amusement. When he bites his lower lip and drags his teeth along the tender flesh, my eyes flutter closed before I realize what I’m doing.
“I can buy you a replacement, if you’d like,” he adds, but he says it huskily and I know it’s on purpose. “We could go to the mobile store on campus after class Wednesday.”
“It’s fine,” I say, snapping out of my trance. “It’s already being fixed.” Why is my voice shaking? Why am I staring at him like he’s stark ass naked instead of fully clothed in a tight gray t-shirt and basketball shorts? Wait… he’s wearing basketball shorts? My eyes fall lower and I can clearly see the outline of him straining beneath them.
Oh, for fuck’s sake.

Title: Passion in Paradise Duo
Novels Included: Cain's Salvation & Hard as Stone
Author: Sarah O'Rourke
Genre: Erotic Romance Suspense
Release Date: September 22, 2015
In the small, sleepy Southern town of Paradise, not everything is as it seems. Nestled in the foothills of the Smoky Mountains, the tiny country town seems like it would be the perfect spot to raise a family, build a life and enjoy living in what most natives call ‘God’s Country’. What no one seems to realize is that there are secrets hiding in the families of this quaint little community – especially the McKinnon clan.
“Cain’s Salvation was a quick, sweet read that had some pretty intense moments. There were also some light moments that balanced everything out. The characters were great and I’m pretty sure that there is more to everyone’s story. That kind of makes me happy because I wouldn’t mind spending a little bit more time in Paradise with the McKinnon sisters and the men that they tend to drive just a little bit crazy.” ~ Hard as Stone from Creative Deeds “Sarah O’Rourke has written a truly beautiful story about military life, love, and forgiveness. There are not enough words to explain how much I LOVED this story! And can’t wait for more from the rest of the McKinnon Sisters!” ~ Cain’s Salvation from Swoon Worthy Books “The writing is fabulous, it flows so easily as scene after scene packs a punch filled with everything- comedy, tragedy, romance and of course those very hot and naughty scenes with our main couple. I'm beyond excited for this series to continue. The characters are brilliant and pop right off the page and into your heart. The writing is engaging and the dialogue is superb.” ~ Hard as Stone from an Amazon Reviewer “Hard as Stone was an emotional roller-coaster for my mind, heart and soul, there were highs and lows; I never knew where the story was going to take me. Who knew a gunshot wound and a trip to the E.R. could be the funniest thing ever!! The dialog between these close friends added a sense of togetherness. When the truth is revealed you find yourself wondering should she forgive him. Is love worth talking another chance? And of course you want the next book in the series cause the crazy sister is next!” ~ Hard as Stone from Guilty Pleasures Book Reviews
