So what if Brantley Moxin has a criminal record? He's who I chose to be with.
Leaving town was our only option. One night we packed up a few things and hit the road, bound for a new chance at a future together.
I thought it was going to be beautiful; something my parents would come to appreciate after time. Instead I've been thrown into a life I wouldn't wish on anyone. Now I have nowhere to go - a family obviously ashamed of what I've done.
This is my mess to clean up, and I'm afraid I'm in too deep for that to happen.

Title: Prick Tease
Author : Misti Murphy
Genre : Erotic Romance
Claire Hadley shouldn’t even be on my radar.
There are a million damn reasons why I shouldn’t touch her.
Her brothers are my best friends. We grew up together, under the same roof.
I’m supposed to think of her like a little sister.
I won’t break my loyalty for a f*ck.
Razer Bennington forgot me when he joined the marines.
One kiss. Seven years. I can’t get the taste of him out of my mouth.
I’m meant to be the good girl. A virgin. A role model.
I’m supposed to live up to their expectations.
Screw that…
I’m going to get what I want.
I should be careful what I wish for.
***
Claire Hadley was about to check the perfect fiancé off her checklist.
Until she found him underneath a hooker.
Running home to her brother, she doesn’t expect to be rescued by Razer Bennington.
Seven years ago he left her behind.
But she hasn’t forgotten their last night together. Or the kiss they shared.
Tired of living up to the expectations of others, she throws caution to the wind.
This time she’ll get what she wants.
Even if getting what she wants could destroy him
(Misti Murphy is a new author for me but when I read the blurb to this book I knew instantly that this was right up my alley. I love reading anything taboo and these stepbrother books always give me a run for my reading. I always get emotional when two siblings who really aren't related but feel like they are due to their parents being married feel the need or obligation to stay away from each other because they always have that inkling feeling that their parents will not approve of their love for each other. They always go through the motions and try and stay away from each other as much as they can but they always have that pull that always brings them back and have to keep doing what they're doing in secret until they either get caught or the inevitable happens and they have to come out and just shout it out to everyone that they are in love and regardless of what everyone else thinks they deserve to be with each other. I'm sorry but when you aren't related by any means then I don't see why you can't be together. I understand if the parents have more kids it will probably look or sound awkward to them once they're old enough to understand what happened but technically the two individuals involved are not related and therefore, shouldn't have to hide or suffer with not being with each other because everyone else thinks it's wrong. Maybe it does look wrong but I'm sorry when you're in love, you just can't help it. Prick Tease was hot, sexy, delicious -- well Razer was definitely delicious and and this book was dripping with....again, a whole lot of sexiness!! You'll find yourself mesmerized with this story - you won't be able to get enough of Claire and Razer. A man in uniform is just damn sexy to me and they always have such a hard demeanor that gets me all hot and bothered. This is definitely a book that you will want to get your hands on. It was so worth my time reading. Thank you Misti for giving us such a great book, this one was one that captured my undivided attention. 5 stars all the way! )
Misti Murphy is a sadistic b*tch who loves to emotionally torture fictional people. If she did that in real life she’d probably end up in prison or a psych ward so she prefers to create dirty talking alphas and the sexually frustrated women who fall into their beds. And if someone needs to be smacked upside the head before f*cking turns to love then that makes her very happy indeed.
She’s a huge believer in flaws making us human, and that not everyone likes bacon. She’s also addicted to chocolate and scared of the effects of the coming shortage. She swears like a f*cking trooper, and thinks that graphic smuttiness should be as real in fiction as it is in real life.
When she’s not writing she’s the perfect housewife and mother. Ha bloody ha! When she’s not writing she’s hiding in a cupboard with her kindle, scoffing chocolate, and stalking facebook.

Title: Always Been You
Series: Unforgettable You #3
Author: Beverley Kendall
Genre: NA Romance
Release Date: October 15, 2015
The best way to ruin a perfectly wonderful friendship? Have sex with your BFF.
A mistake.
That’s what Troy calls what was easily the single best sexual experience of my life. He claims our "slip" was due to too much alcohol. I respond the only way I know how, which is by burying the entire experience under a six-foot mound of denial and regret. Lesson learned.
When I’m finally in a place emotionally where I can move on with someone else, Troy does a complete about face. Now he wants me. And he wants more.
That should have been the end, right? I’m getting what I’ve wanted since I was sixteen. But devastating news turns Troy’s life upside down and soon becomes my cross to bear. And the only way I can get back everything I lost is to bare it all. Literally.
Now my boyfriend may be a progressive, twenty-first century kind of guy, but when it comes to his girlfriend posing nude for Playboy?
He's 100% Neanderthal.
“This has been a much awaited story about Troy and April, so I was anxious for it. Will it live up to my expectations etc. Well, I have to say, Beverley Kendall does not disappoint (she never has, and I have read all of her books). I LOVED LOVED LOVED it.” ~ L the Reader “I've waited over a year for this book and it was worth every minute of the wait. Kendall continues to impress me with her ability to weave non-cliche New Adult tales. There's twists and turns, plenty of angst, and a good dose of hot and sexy between characters April and Troy. These best friends know how to heat up the sheets.” ~ Author Landra Graf “This book was so worth the wait!” ~ Goodreads Reviewer
He raises an eyebrow. “Unfair? I’m not the one who’s decided we need to hang out less.”
“Are you forgetting that you don’t even like Colin?” I bet that conveniently slipped his memory. “What, because I don’t want him tagging along every time we go out with our friends?” I shake my head in bewilderment. He can’t be serious. “You do get that he’s my boyfriend, right?” “And I’m your best friend,” he states as if that fact has somehow escaped me. Honestly, if I didn’t know better, I’d swear he’s jealous. It’s a good thing I’m over my deluded stage. Sighing, I drop my hand from my hip. “Yes we’re friends and that’s never going to change. But right now, all I’m trying to do is make a go of this relationship.” And that’s no small feat with a friend like Troy in the picture. His jaw works and his nostrils flare. “By letting your boyfriend dictate who you can be friends with?” “He’s not dictating anything.” “Is that what you want?” he asks, steamrolling my denial. “A guy who pressures you to give up your friends?” Colin isn’t asking, demanding, or pressuring me to do anything. But I can tell by the expression on Troy’s face that nothing I say is going to convince him otherwise. When it comes to my boyfriend, his mind is set in stone. Closed. “No, and I wouldn’t be with him if he did. But what kind of girlfriend would I be if I didn’t want to spend more time with him than I do with you?” Right now it’s enough that I want to want that to be the case. Troy’s gaze narrows. “I don’t give a fuck what kind of girlfriend you are to that ass. What I want to know is what kind of friend you are to me.”
Beverley discovered her love of books while growing up in Ontario Canada. With her love of books and romance, she always wished that everyone would find their happily ever after.

I lent my heart to the bad boy, and he did exactly what I expected he would. He broke it.
And the guy I should have been with—he’s still here. He tries to take my mind off everything I’ve lost while showing me what I could have. I’m ready for a new start, to fall in love again … to do what I should have done in the first place. Everything seems perfect. Then the past comes walking back in. I thought I was over him, but one look and I know that’s not true. We went through too much together for those feelings to completely fade away. When my past and present collide, how am I supposed to choose? They both love me, and I love them. A heart will be broken … and it could be mine.
Excerpt
“If I had come home sooner, would I have had a chance?” he asks, sinking down in the bed until we’re eye to eye. He knows he’s making it impossible for me to skirt around the truth.
Eyes don’t easily lie to eyes. “Yes,” I whisper. “I waited for you. Until New York, it would have been you.” His fingers come up, gently brushing a piece of hair from my forehead. “I really fucked up with you, didn’t I?” “Neither of us was in the right place. It wasn’t our time.” He moves closer, brushing his thumb against my cheek. My conscience whispers but the tequila screams. “When will it be our time?” I think about Pierce. This weekend. Everything. “It may never come, or maybe, it’s already passed.” “I’m going to fight for you,” he declares, propping himself up on his elbow to look down at me. “I thought I could let you go if I knew it would make you happy, but after sitting alone in this apartment all weekend while you were with him, I don’t think I can do that.” I swallow hard. “And, if you don’t win?” “I’ve already lost, so what do I have left to lose?” And, he’s right. He’s already lost so much that the risk is minimal. “Pierce trusts me,” I blurt, my palms sweating against the sheets. He leans in, kissing my cheek. “He shouldn’t trust me, not when he has the one thing I want.” “Blake?” He slips out of my bed without looking back, carefully closing the bedroom door behind him. He wanted the last word, and he got it.

Taylor Barrett was looking for answers in a universe that had abandoned him.
Jude Boehler flooded her dark world with charisma and mystery, drawing everyone into her hurricane.
It was a most captivating of love affairs. They were shooting stars, meteors in the sky, colliding to create a spectacularly wonderful reckless romance, leaving them breathless and tethered.
But thatâs what Love does.
Their souls were exposed to the chaos, bare and vulnerable. Can these two star-crossed lovers survive the madness that is life?
EXCERPT Entering his building made her feet lighter. She was being carried on the wings of euphoria, each step easier than the last. She wasnât walking to her future. She was running toward it. Taking a breath, she held it, and knocked on his door. The door opened and he stood there with his lips parted and confusion furrowing his brow. âJude?â Throwing herself forward, she jumped up and wrapped her body around his and kissed him. Then again. He kicked the door closed and held her against it. When they parted, they remained close enough to share their panting breaths. He said, âYouâre here.â When he pressed his abs against her center her head knocked hard on the wood and he kissed the exposed skin of her neck where it met her shoulder. He was strong. He was virile. âHey,â she said, bringing his face up to see hers. Lowering her down until her feet touched, he said, âI thought we were meeting at the park?â âI couldnât wait.â His glorious smile chose to shine on her. âIâm glad you didnât. Do you want to go to the bedroom?â Giggling, she replied, âYes, so much, but I need to talk to you first.â âOkay.â He walked to the couch and she stared gob-smacked by his allure. Jeans that hung low. No shirt. Boxers peeking out the top, but a V that directed her eyes below the waistband. He was a tease as he stood there waiting for her to join him. Sitting on the couch, he patted it. âCâmere.â She started walking on shaky legs. As she passed the bar, she debated if she should stay there to save her clarity. That seat next to him was tempting, but she knew sheâd be flat on her back within seconds. So she hurried to his side and sat down. His hands were instantly on her. S.L.

I am so excited to share HOOKED by Christine Manzari! Christine is sharing an excerpt and giveaway with us today, so check it all out!! About Hooked: If you ask the confident and snarky skater girl, and she’s in the mood to share, she’ll tell you her name is Cat. She might even tell you that she’s hooked on graffiti, 80s movies, and having fun—the riskier the better. Cat will share a good time with you, but she won’t ever trust you enough to share her heart. It’s protected by secrets and she’d like to keep it that way. Cat knows one thing for certain: Love isn’t really her thing. If you ask the confident and rich pretty boy, he might tell you his name is Huck. He might even tell you he loves a challenge and is used to getting his way. He won’t tell you that his life is a mess because he risked his heart by trusting the wrong girl. Huck is ready for a change, he just wasn’t ready to get hooked on someone like Cat. Huck knows one thing for certain: Love hasn’t done him any favors, but Cat just might be worth the risk. Cat and Huck think a one-night stand seems harmless, but when all the little secrets they didn’t share turn out to be toxic truths, they realize how easily a one-night stand (or a few) could ruin everything. The thing is, you can be ruined in more than one way. Once you’re HOOKED, what wouldn’t you risk for the chance at more? Buy Links: Amazon Exclusive Excerpt: Huck’s lips came back to mine, dangerous and urgent as his hands and mouth pulled soft moans from me. Finally, I unhooked my feet and gently pushed back on his chest without breaking the kiss. He seemed desperate to keep his lips on mine, but he allowed me to move his body. I turned us around and then pushed him down into a seated position on the ground, his back against the wall. Then I straddled him, my bare knees digging into the sand uncomfortably. I didn’t care. The discomfort was nothing compared to the ripples of pleasure that were pulsing through the lower part of my body when I settled into his lap. Huck’s hands slid under me, his thumbs grazing the edge of my panties as he cradled my bare cheeks. “This thong is a sin,” he growled, twirling the strap in his thumb as if he was going to rip them off. Part of me wanted him to. “Why are we sitting on the ground?” he asked, his voice low and husky. “Less chance of being seen,” I said. “Seen doing what?” he mumbled against my shoulder as he kissed along the bare skin. I hesitated for a moment, knowing I should stay quiet. But my brain wasn’t in control anymore, my body was. Huck’s lips were at the hollow of my throat, his tongue tracing a wicked circle before his lips followed. His hands were still on my ass and I’m not even sure if he was aware he was moving my hips, grinding me down on what was clearly his appreciation of my sinful thong. “Huck.” His name was a moanful plea. “I’ll never get tired of hearing you say that.” “What?” “My name. Say my name again.” “Huck.” He groaned, his lips back on mine, eager to catch his name falling from them. He pushed my hips down while he lifted up into me and I could feel our bodies falling into a tempo we couldn’t deny. Our hips moved against each other as we kissed one another in our secluded little spot on the beach. “Huck, I’m wearing my fuck-me dress. Don’t let it go to waste.” Unexpectedly, he went still underneath of me. “What?” I asked. After all that talk about what he’d do to me, was he really going to chicken out? “I don’t have a condom, Cat.” “You’re a guy, isn’t it some kind of guy code that you always carry one?” I couldn’t help being irritated. How could he not have one? “No.” He frowned. “Do you have one in your bag?” “This wasn’t exactly planned,” I pointed out. “Well, that sucks.” He was no longer moving underneath me and his thumb released my thong, but his lips were back on mine, taking what little bit I could give him. It was good, but it wasn’t enough. Not now that the other question was lingering in the air around us. I pulled away to look at him. “Have you ever gone bareback before?” Christine Manzari Bio: The first thing Christine does when she's getting ready to read a book is to crack the spine in at least five places.
