COVER DESIGN: THE FINAL WRAP

It was only a matter of time until the truth came out.

I never thought it would come to this…

I tried, God knows I tried to stay away from her but eventually I crossed that line and broke that trust. I could no longer go back and I sure as fuck didn’t regret a single moment of it. I knew there would be hell to pay, I knew the wrath I’d be facing but I would willingly take the burns and scars just to have the love of my best friend's sister.

If there is one person I’d willingly go to hell and back for it was…

“Is that right?” I replied arrogantly, centimeters from her lips. “I don’t know you? Really? What part don’t I know? Maybe I don’t know the way you move your hair to cover the side of your face when you’re nervous. Or maybe I don’t know how you bite your bottom lip when you’re deep into your strings. Or do you mean that I don’t know the way you freak out if it’s too dark in a room and you won’t walk in? Or maybe I don’t know that you bite your fingernails when you think no one is looking. Oh wait, here’s a good one. I don't know that you're trembling in your skin right now. I don’t know that your heart is beating a million miles a minute, your hands are clammy, and you can’t swallow. How there are hundreds of thoughts going through your mind, but the top one being how bad you want me to kiss you. How bad you want me to fuck you. How bad you want me to claim every fucking inch of your perfect body,” I paused to let my words sink in, and her flushed complexion gave away that everything I was saying was true.

“You’re right. I don’t know you. I don’t see your gorgeous smile in my sleep. I don’t hear that ridiculous giggle you have when I’m away from you. I don’t see those dark brown eyes every time I close mine.” I leaned in a little closer so she could feel my breath against her lips. “I don’t stroke my cock to the memory of your sweet pussy pulsating down my shaft and the taste of your come dripping down my chin.”

She was born in New Jersey but was raised in Tampa Fl. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D in psychology, with two years left.

She is married to an amazing man who she loves to pieces. They have two German Shepherd mixes and a Tabby cat.

My Review

Every time I read Kristen Ashley I think there's no way she can do a better job than she's already done. Every time she smashes that to the ground. I can't pick favorites any more and stick to them because by the next book she writes I have a new one. This book was absolutely amazing!! High and Millie's store was so awesome it was nuts. This book has almost every feeling you would want to have. Kristen ripped my heart out and times only to piece it write back together because she's awesome like that. I loved this book also because you get more of chaos's back story and what all went down with Black. All in all Kristen has hit another home run with book and I cannot wait for anything else she writes.

Excerpt

I beeped the locks and had a hand to the handle when I heard, “Lookin’ for me?” When that deep, coarse voice came at me through the dark, my body became paralyzed, my eyes glued to my hand on the handle. Then it kept coming at me. “Bitch, followed you the last forty-five minutes. Reb got in touch. Told me you hit Scruff’s.” On the next, the voice was nearer. “You’re lookin’ for me. So tell me what the fuck you want so you can quit lookin’ and I can quit lookin’ at you.” Slowly, I turned, my head going back automatically because I felt him close and I knew what close to Logan meant. I was five-seven. He was six-one. He towered over me, or at least that’s what it always felt like because he wasn’t only tall, he was also a big guy with a big presence. And right then, it felt like that, especially since his big presence was an angry one. His face was in shadows, I could barely see it. But I could feel him. And I could smell him. God, I could smell him. He didn’t wear cologne or aftershave. His scent was all his. And I remembered lying in our bed holding his pillow to me, my face shoved into the sheets, taking him in after I’d made him walk away. His scent hadn’t changed. Not even a nuance. Smelling it without warning felt like walking unsuspecting into the street and having a truck slam into you. And that feeling was so strong it was a wonder my body didn’t go careening through the trucks and bikes, slamming into them, shattering every bone. He moved forward so he was in my space, the smell strengthened and my body tightened to guard against it. “Woman, after all this time, whatever shit you gotta hand me, fuckin’ do it,” he ordered irately. “You got two seconds to spit it the fuck out. You don’t, you won’t get another chance, and you know I’ll make it that way. So this is your only shot. Take it or get in your fuckin’ car and get your ass outta my world.” I stared into the shadows of his face, wishing with everything that I could see it. Apparently, I did this for two seconds because Logan bit out, “Right. See nothin’s changed. Weak. Now get your ass . . .” he dipped his face to mine, “gone.” And when he did, I got up on my toes and kissed him. It was totally crazy. But I also totally couldn’t help it. He smelled so fucking good. And he was Logan. Close. Right there. His face in mine. He jerked away, muttering a disgusted, “What the fuck?” But the words or their tone didn’t penetrate. I smelled him and I’d had a taste. I was gone. I lifted both hands to either side of his head, yanked him down to me, and went back in, going for it, giving it my all. Even when his fingers clenched painfully into my hips pushing them back to set me away, I held on tighter and shoved my tongue between his lips. It touched his, just that, just a touch, and then I cried out into his mouth when I found my back slammed into my SUV. But it wasn’t his way to get me to let him go. No. His head slanted and he forced my tongue out of his mouth when his invaded mine. And that was when I was gone. I was already gone but right then there was nothing to me. Nothing at all. Except my hands on Logan’s head, his body pressing mine into my car, his smell all around us, his tongue plundering my mouth, all this exploding fire everywhere. He drove a hand into my hair, twisting it, the pain bristling over my scalp and I cried out into his mouth again even as I arched deeper, pressed closer, willing, like it had always been, to give it all because he was Logan, he got it all. But also because I knew I’d get it back a hundredfold. He swayed us forward so his other arm could lock across my back and he kept at my mouth as I rolled way up on my toes, pushing deep, wrapping my arms around his neck, consumed by the kiss and not giving that first fuck. I was ready to ride it out. No, I needed to ride it out. No matter where it went. He broke away and that was when my hand went into his hair, fisting tight in protest. “That what you want?” he growled, his voice lower, the abrasion physical, and I shivered with delight. I wasn’t entirely certain of the question but I answered a breathy, “Yes.” “That’s what you want,” he repeated, a statement this time, seeking confirmation. “Yes, Logan.” He let me go but took my hand, his skin rough against my fingers. The feel of it back after all these years washed through me and I fancied I remembered every time, in quick succession, from the first night we met to the night before I broke it off when he’d taken my hand and guided me somewhere. Lost in it like I’d always been lost in it, I followed blindly. Attached to Logan, I’d go anywhere. Even if we were walking through fire.

About the author: Kristen Ashley grew up in Brownsburg, Indiana, and has lived in Denver, Colorado, and the West Country of England. Thus she has been blessed to have friends and family around the globe. Her posse is loopy (to say the least) but loopy is good when you want to write. Kristen was raised in a house with a large and multigenerational family. They lived on a very small farm in a small town in the heartland, and Kristen grew up listening to the strains of Glenn Miller, The Everly Brothers, REO Speedwagon, and Whitesnake. Needless to say, growing up in a house full of music and love was a good way to grow up. And as she keeps growing up, it keeps getting better. Social Media Links:

*~* Synopsis *~*

Listen, listen to the wind and stone.

Listen, listen to the sounds of old.

Listen, listen as my hopes are drowned.

Listen, listen to the sounds that bullets make of blood and bones.

Where will you run today?

How will you ever get away?”

This is NOT a romance. This is a ride.

Blood and Bone

The clicking of heels walking in a misty alley.

The ability to tie a cherry stem with her tongue.

A haunting song no one else knows.

That's all that's left of Jane's memories.

What would you do if the life you lived was a lie, and everyone knew but you?

Where do you run when there is no one on your side?

Jane discovers that deep inside her mind there is a map.

What she doesn't know is that there is also a man who will do anything to get it.

But what he doesn't know is that Jane hasn't always been honest about the things she remembers.

There are paces inside of Jane that even she doesn't like to go.

What would you do if the secret you kept was the only thing keeping you alive?

But keeping it meant someone else had to die.

Don't miss out on the new dark read by Tara Brown!

*~* Review *~*

People may say that Tara is batsh!t coo coo but is she? Or is she a genius? There is always that thin line and I think she successfully straddles that line!!

Sam and Jane are amazing characters but it will take you time to figure these two out. A little bit crazy, a little bit timid, and little bit lost or are they? These characters are so lost in their own heads that you will have a hard time making them out BUT that is the beauty of this book.

Derek and Dash are also great characters but a bit coo coo in their own way but sexy AF... These men are hard working, crazy and loving as all get out. You will want to put them in your pocket and strangle them at the same time but don't us ladies want to do that to most men? ;)

Tara did an amazing job with the story of a broken little girl in this book and the help she receives. You will never expect what is truly going on til close to the end BUT the ride is absolutely amazing!!

The zombie plague began with the vampires…

Overnight, Josh Crown’s life turns upside down and he must fight to survive alongside a group of survivors he learns to call family.

The only certainty in life during the zombie apocalypse is death, even when you have an advantage.

**Not suitable for YA due to language and violence**

*~* Review *~*

This book was a totally new ballgame for me so I kept putting off reading this book because I just wasn't sure how to feel about it. But OMG I am so glad I finally read it!! It was an awesome book filled with action, a little romance but mostly kick-ass characters. Between trying to understand how this plague took over the world to the relationships that were being built i did not want to put this book down.

This is a completely different take on vampires and zombies that will chill you to the bone a bit. I was shocked and intrigued how this plague started and continued for so long.

The characters that Brandy created were strong, honest, and just badass. She did such a great job putting together the relationships and the story to keep you wanting more.

Bravo Brandy and I look forward to reading more of your work.

The soft strumming of a guitar immediately assaulted my senses, but that wasn’t what made the hair at the end of my arms stand at attention. I closed my eyes needing to check my emotions and the thoughts that attacked my mind at rapid speed.

One right after the other.

They were disastrous and unforgiving.

The strumming of the guitar was effortless and defined. I would recognize it anywhere. No one could play like she could.

No one.

That voice…

It was smooth like silk but raw enough to give you chills.

That song…

Would be a permanent reminder of what I lost.

That night…

Would forever haunt me. My days and nights.

God… I couldn’t think of that night without my cock getting hard and the shame engulfing me almost simultaneously. Metallica’s lyrics of Nothing Else Matters took me back to another time, another place, where I pretended that she was mine…

I was always hers.

Always.

Her face…

Her eyes…

Her body…

I remembered it all, and I hadn’t even looked up to see her. I didn’t have to. She was engrained in my mind. In my heart. In my soul.

She sang the chorus over again with the emotions bleeding off the strings of her guitar and her voice. The guitar solo followed making the crowd scream and cheer for her talent. Her energy was fucking contagious, it always had been. I felt it all around me even though I still hadn’t opened my eyes to take her in. I knew she was biting her fucking lip, it didn’t matter how many damn times I told her she was going to bite it off. I’d memorized the feel of her lips against my mouth the way I’d take that same goddamn lip and bite on it myself.

Wanting a piece of her.

Needing a piece of her.

Her voice dropped to a soft tone, as did her guitar. The song ended and the crowd went even more wild and ravenous for her.

“Well, hello there fucking Nashville!”

They hollered higher and louder. She always knew how to work a crowd.

“Welcome to Bootleggers! Who’s gettin’ fucked up tonight?”

“Yeah!” they shouted.

“Who’s gettin’ fucking laid tonight?”

They shouted again, whistling and clapping that time. I shook my head with a smile I didn’t bother trying to hide.

“That’s what I’m talking about! Down and dirty in the fuckin’ South!” she yelled in the same southern drawl she hated as a child.

“I’m going to take a little break—”

“Booooooo!”

She giggled and my cock twitched.

“I know, darlins’, I’m too fucking pretty to look at. I’ll be back, I promise! In the meantime buy me a fuckin’ shot! My name’s Kid.”

I immediately looked up, right at her. I swear to God my chest seized and she literally took my goddamn breath away. Wearing short daisy dukes and a miniscule shirt that had “Whiskey Makes Me Frisky” written across her breasts. The damn thing looked like it was as old as me. Her entire stomach bare, her belly button now pierced and her long dark hair cascading down her back, almost touching her ass. The tiny frame that I fucking loved was still the same, but she looked grown up. Older. Her legs, her fucking legs. I remembered them wrapped around me and I had to shake my head to erase the images that had my cock hard and my heart heavy.

She was born in New Jersey but was raised in Tampa Fl. She is currently pursuing her Ph.D in psychology, with two years left.

She is married to an amazing man who she loves to pieces. They have two German Shepherd mixes and a Tabby cat.

Complicate Me

Best Selling Author M. ROBINSON

Cover Design: Rebecca Marie at The Final Wrap

www.thefinalwrap.com or www.Facebook.com/thefinalwrap

It was complicated, it was also just the beginning.

A decision.

A simple choice.

There is always that one moment in life where things could have been different. That one moment where you could have chosen a path that would lead you down a certain road.

A different life.

It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy.

Pretending was better than knowing the truth...

I. Ruined. Us.

I had her.

I lost her.

I love her.

All I did was complicate us.

(Will be email to you please add)

My brown eyed girl sat on our blankets with her arms wrapped around her knees, hiding her face. The tiny frame that I adored so much shook uncontrollably, only heightening the deepest sobbing that escalated with each passing second. It was such an intimate moment, not to be shared with anyone, especially me. Alex didn’t cry. I watched her bawl for the first time in my life. I had never seen anyone cry like that before, and it shook me to my core, slicing me whole, and making me feel like I was dying. Carving a memory that I would take to my grave. There was no going back…

No erasing.

No do overs.

No deleting.

What I witnessed tonight would be my purgatory; I would now close my eyes and forever see her falling apart in front of me. Shattering before my very own eyes and I found it hard to breathe.

Hard to move.

My feet were glued to the goddamn floor as she continued to weep, sob, bawl, violently sucking in air that wasn’t available. I accepted it all; each tear that fell from her face becoming pieces of me. Circulating through my veins and blood, it flowed endlessly, a river of her sadness and sorrow and of my broken promises. No beginning or ending to her cries, just an infinite current, flooding the hole where my heart should be. The shadow of her trembling petite body reflected off the walls, leaving a trail of regrets in its wake.

Mine.

Hers.

Ours.

Growing up in a small town you overheard a lot of things. People talking, stories told, town gossip. You listened a lot. You learned a lot. Tourists, townies, friends, and especially family all shared wisdom and advice that you think you will never need.

Bunch of bullshit. They say you have that one moment in life where

things could have been different, that one moment that changes the course of your life or the direction you could have taken. That one moment that could forever change you and everything you wanted to be true, everything you wanted to believe. One simple decision could alter your entire future.

My entire world.

I would forever remember this moment for the rest of my life. This is the moment that changed everything. This is the moment where I took another direction, another road that led me to my own demise. My own regrets. I should have walked in there. I should have apologized. I should have begged for her forgiveness. I should have promised that I would never hurt her again. I should have done whatever it took to make her look at me the way she had our entire lives.

But I didn’t…

I did none of those things…

Not one.

Nothing was said between us.

No words.

No actions.

I was a coward and couldn’t do it. I couldn’t see her like that. I couldn’t look into her eyes and know that I had hurt her. That I had disappointed her. That I ruined her love and lost her respect for me. The boy who promised he would never hurt her.

The boy who swore he would always protect her.

The boy who vowed he would never let anything happen to her.

That same boy was me.

I was the reason she was bawling.

I was the reason she was hurt.

I was the reason she was broken.

She knew the truth. It had finally caught up to me… I shattered her illusion that I was hers. I ruined the one good thing I had in my life. The girl that owned my heart was bleeding out for me in a way that I had never seen before. The house was no longer our safe place.

I had brought my hurricane with me…

I couldn’t risk the possibility of losing her permanently if I walked in there and admitted my truths. She wouldn’t love me anymore, she wouldn’t look at me the same anymore, and she wouldn’t be mine anymore.

My brown eyed girl.

The girl that I had loved all of my life.

The same girl that I would love for the rest of my life.

Alexandra.

I gave her the only comfort I could in her moment of despair. I turned around and left. I walked down the stairs and got into my truck. I turned the engine on and drove my sorry ass home. I took a shower and never once looked at myself in the mirror. I pretended that nothing changed. That I didn’t cause her pain, and that she didn’t know the truth. That I didn’t see her sobbing and that she wasn’t even bawling to begin with. That we were still just best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy.

My Half-Pint and her Bo.

It was better than knowing…

I ruined us.

It was easier to pretend that we were still best friends, and that she was my girl and I was her boy. Pretending was better than knowing the truth... I. Ruined. Us. I had her. I lost her. I love her. All I did was complicate us.

I just couldn’t stay mad at him.

He made it absolutely impossible for me not to laugh and he knew it, too. Which only made it worse. It was like adding fuel to the fire, making it bigger and wider with each flare of gasoline. When I saw that he didn’t turn down my street and kept riding in the direction of our abandoned house, I smiled.

There was no helping that either.

The times that he chose to be with me over the boys warmed my heart, especially when he preferred me to surfing.

We parked our bikes behind the house and ran up the stairs. Over the last few months we had turned it into our own little paradise, bringing blankets and pillows to throw on the floor, candles for when it got dark, and sometimes Lucas would even bring in wood from outside to turn on the fireplace. We had magazines, board games, snacks and water. Everything we needed was there.

I loved it.

He handed me a bottled water to drink and then I passed it back to him so he could, too. I laid down on the blankets and pillows and beheld the vaulted ceilings with a content sigh.

“Whatcha’ thinkin’ about over there?” he questioned, sitting down facing me.

“How much I love this place.”

“Good.”

“I want to get married here.”

“What?” he chuckled.

“You heard me. I want to have my engagement party here and I want to get married here. And then I want to buy this house and raise a family here,” I firmly stated.

“Aren’t you a little young to think about stuff like that?”

“No. I think about stuff like that all the time.”

“Oh yeah?”

“Mmm hmm…”

“Who you marrying?”

I immediately held his amused gaze. “What?” It was my turn to say.

“You heard me,” he replied, throwing my own words back at me. “Who you marrying?”

“Oh…” I breathed out. “I don’t know.”

He raised his eyebrow but didn’t call me out on my lie. “Don’t you think that maybe you should experience things first?”

“How do you know I haven’t?” I provoked, wanting to wipe the smug look off his face.

“Because I know.”

“Whatever.” I looked away.

“You want to know how I know?”

I kept my stare on the tray ceilings, swallowing the saliva that had pooled in my mouth, and hoping that it would calm the fluttering feeling I had suddenly formed in my belly. I shrugged because I couldn’t speak; it would giveaway how I felt.

“I know because I would remember it, just like I remember our first experience. The same one that’s hanging around your neck.”

My heart pounded with each word that fell from his mouth.

“Do you want me to?”

“Do I want you to what?” I replied, already knowing what he meant but needing to hear him say it.

“Do you want me to kiss you?” He paused to let his words sink in. “Really kiss you?”

My mouth parted and my chest rose and descended with each breath I took. I found myself nodding before I gave it anymore thought, ignoring the voice in the back of my mind that screamed at me that this was a bad idea. He bent forward and rested on his hands and knees, his face, his lips, coming toward me and making me tightly shut my eyes.

Waiting.

A million thoughts went through my head, but the moment I felt his lips on mine they were all gone in an instant…

Nothing else mattered at that moment.

~*~After Dark by M. Pierce~*~

Book: After Dark Author: M. Pierce Series: Night Owl #3 Genre: Contemporary Romance Publication Date: March 24th, 2015 Reviewer: Carrie :) Received a complimentary copy from NetGalley for an honest review.

~*~Blurb For Book~*~ n the final novel of the Night Owl Trilogy from bestselling author M. Pierce, can a passion that has withstood many ordeals become a love strong enough to last a lifetime? At twenty-nine, Matt Sky is trying to return to normal, having faked his death and come back to life. He and Hannah move to a simple house in the suburbs, and strive to grow their relationship into something durable and honest. They become more and more entangled, in the best ways possible. At twenty-eight, Hannah finally has the life she's always wanted: she's pursuing her career as a literary agent at Granite Wing Agency, she is writing her first solo novel, and she is living with her hot, passionate lover. For the first time, Matt and Hannah are able to explore intimacy without inhibitions—without lies, secrets, or jealousy—and the results are explosive. Still life together is not as easy as it seems. Matt is estranged from his brothers in the wake of his cruel stunt; Seth Sky, embittered by his failed pursuit of Hannah, makes a play for Hannah's sister; and the topic of Hannah's novel—her relationship with Matt and the Sky family—is driving a wedge between her and Matt. The lovers are devoted to one another, having come through many ordeals, but is their bond strong enough to last a lifetime?

~*~My Thoughts~*~ A 5 star review First thing I have to say is I am so glad I waited till I had all three books to read this series. I definitely would have had a meltdown without doing so. Second thing I need to say is that the series was amazing!! Each book just got better and better. Matt was an amazing character I could not get enough of him and his craziness it was lovely. Hannah I loved she was definitely a great female lead and I don't think I ever really wanted to throttle her lol. All in all this series was amazing through and through and everyone should dive right in.

September 21st October 26th “I’m not sure you want me

cooking for you, or anyone else. I feel like you kidnapped me and you’re trying to give me this life that’s not really mine. I don’t feel like the type to be controlled.”

Paxton placed a finger over both my lips and shushed me with a quiet, “Shhh, hush now. I assure you with everything in me that you are the type to be controlled. That’s why you suck my dick. That’s why your legs fall apart whenever I come near you. You’re a slut. My slut. I own you.” His dry, sultry words, touched my lips while his fingsers slid down the middle of my neck. One straight line. The dry swallow stuck in my chest when his hold over me wrapped gently around my throat. His grip tightened and his lips met mine. “Shhh, don’t talk, baby girl. Turn around and go take a shower like you were told”

My eyes cowardly dropped to the floor and I submitted.

My name is Jettie Woodruff. I am from Ohio. I don't know what genre I write in. People tell me I have my own genre. I write whatever I feel, because that's what makes me happy. I don't want to be in that box where I can only write one genre. I tend to like my bad boy's, taboo; touchy subjects that make you want to throw your kindle. Usually at said hot alpha male. Sometimes the female lead as well. My motto is life is short. Very short. If it doesn't make you happy anymore then why do it? Move on. Some of my favorite things, besides writing are friends, family, and the beach. Music, although my interest has changed after forty, I like the new stuff. Happy Reading.

*~* Review of I SEE YOU by Ker Dukey and D.H. Sidebottom *~*

Book: I SEE YOU

Author: Ker Dukey and D.H Sidebottom

Series: N/A

Genre: Dark/Erotica/Thriller

Buy Links: http://amzn.to/1f8YA1A

Also posted on: http://amzn.to/1J5sFuX

*~* Synopsis *~*

This is a DARK novel, 18 only. Standalone title.

I watch you, I see you in ways no one else can, and through my lens I create a life of you for someone to dissect. I capture you in your vulnerability; that smile, your laugh, those tears. I document you and sell your secrets.

When I watch you through my lens you’re mine until I pass you to the buyer. I, like most people, have a fetish for pretty things and in my job I get to be around a lot of pretty things. They pay me to watch them and capture them in a frame for many purposes, and sometimes I like my profession a little more than I should.

I took a job to capture her… I wanted to capture and keep her in more than just the image. This time I will take myself away from the lens and become the client because I cannot resist her, she reminds me too much of my first, I need to have her.

Traumatised from a vicious attack, Nina Drake finds herself shut off from the world until her neighbour brings her out of more than just her nightmares. Even after moving and changing her name, she still can’t shake the feeling of being watched. The memories are so close.

And so is the shadow of the creator of them all.

*~* My Review *~*

I See You is a riveting, on the edge of your seat book just like most of Ker and DH's books. The characters are awesomely written and you will follow them as they are in your own town.

Nina is such a brave yet vulnerable woman that shows her strength time and time again. The only people in her life are her cat and her best friend Tricia. Nina has the luck and the misfortune of meeting all her dreams and nightmares in one lifetime is astounding.

After meeting Noah she finds that he is everyone's nightmare and his brother Devon is every womans dream man.

This book will fill you with such coldness, hate, sesuality and love that you will not know where to be left except floored by such an awesome book. BRAVO LADIES!!

*~* REVIEW of Take The Fall by Marquita Valentine *~*

** RECEIVED THROUGH NETGALLEY FOR AN HONEST REVIEW**

Book: Take the Fall Author: Marquita Valentine Series: Take The Fall Series Genre: Contemporary Romance Buy Links: Amazon Also posted on: Goodreads Amazon

*~* Synopsis *~*

Fans of Abbi Glines and Katy Evans will adore Take the Fall, the first spinoff novel from Marquita Valentine’s New York Times bestselling Boys of the South series. In this emotional new romance, passions run hot as a rugged, brooding Marine rekindles an old flame. As a teenager, Seth O’Connor went to jail for a crime he had nothing to do with. He took the fall to protect the girl he loved, but the cruel realities of prison hardened him. After doing his time, Seth shuts her out and enlists in the Marines—until his grandmother’s funeral forces him to come home and face Rowan Simmons once again. The woman she’s become puts all his high-school memories to shame, and Seth wants her more than ever. Can he be honest about why he denied her for so long? After Seth pushed her away, Rowan swore that no man would ever hurt her again. But the boy who broke her heart has become a sexy Marine, capable of fulfilling her every desire—and now that he’s back in town, old feelings are simmering to a boil. Rowan wants to stay strong, even as her body surrenders to his expert touch. She only hopes that by taking him back, she can finally help heal the wounds that drove them apart. Includes a special message from the editor, as well as an excerpt from another Loveswept title.

*~* My Review *~*

If you read my reviews then you know that I love the roller coaster rides.. lol Take The Fall was not a let down in this category at all.. lol This roller coaster was wonderful!! You have military, street racing, anger, hurt, prison, hot sex, and a love like no other. Rowan Simmons is a love struck teenager that grows over seven years into a strong independant woman, that has lost her heart along the way. Rowan always seems to lose those she loves and refuses to love again. Seth O'Connor is the good boy of all their friends but after a street race his world came to a screeching halt. Although he was deeply in love, he pushed the girl away to save her and to hurt her. Then joining the Marines and being away from home for so long, he realises that there is no where else for him but her.. His home.. Jase Simmons is Rowan's big brother that she lost to prison over a stupid street race gone bad. While he was in he became so closed off and only a shell of the man he once was. The only grace he found was writing to those outside mainly Piper, Rowans best friend and getting out to be with his girlfriend Giselle. His seven years in are almost up and he's hoping to lead a normal life. Well normal for him the wild Simmons boy. I fell in love with this book from the first chapter. I felt like I was reading about friends that were off somewhere living their lives. I felt so close to these characters for some reason and thoroughly enjoyed reading about them and the lives they are leading. I'm so excited to read the next in the series. I grant this book 5 amazing stars :)

~*~My Thoughts~*~ A 5 Star Review I loved this book!!! It was amazing! Blaire was one of the best female characters I've read in a long while. She's hilarious and you can't help but connect and love her. Tyler what can I say he's everything you'd want in a cage fighting bad boy.

Series: Breaking The Declan Brothers #2

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Publication Date: July 21st, 2015

Reviewer: Carrie :)

Received a complimentary copy from the author for an honest review.

~*~Blurb For Book~*~

"Some boys will keep it, some will break it, and some boys, they just won't want it. You gotta be careful who you give your heart to..." Slate Declan

First loves, we all got them. Mine is Slate Declan. He was kind, gentle, and caring. Still, he managed to break my heart. So I put miles between us, and eventually, my heart healed.

I haven’t seen Slate in years, but a couple friends and I are going back to the Bayou for the summer. While I’m visiting my hometown, I’m going to look up Slate Declan. And I plan to break his heart, just as he did mine. I'll remind him of what he has lost, and then I'll prove to him that I’ve moved on.

It should be real easy, right?

Well, let me tell you, Slate Declan is not the same guy that I left behind. And there’s another problem. How do you break someone’s heart when they no longer have one?

~*~My Thoughts~*~

A 5 Star Rating

What can I say I freaking loved this book!! After reading Jax I could not wait to get my hands on Slate's story and it didn't disappoint even for a second. Rayna was an awesome female lead that I adored. Slate was everything that I could have asked for. This book was perfect for me and now of course I cannot wait to finish up with Zeke. The Declan brothers are definitely a series that everyone should give a try. Great job Kelly!!

~*~Grey By E.L. James~*~

Book: Grey Author: E.L. James Series: Fifty Shades #4 Genre: Contemporary Romance Publication Date: June 18th, 2015 Reviewer: Carrie :)

~*~Blurb For Book~*~ See the world of Fifty Shades of Grey anew through the eyes of Christian Grey. In Christian's own words, and through his thoughts, reflections, and dreams, E L James offers a fresh perspective on the love story that has enthralled millions of readers around the world. Christian Grey exercises control in all things; his world is neat, disciplined, and utterly empty—until the day that Anastasia Steele falls into his office, in a tangle of shapely limbs and tumbling brown hair. He tries to forget her, but instead is swept up in a storm of emotion he cannot comprehend and cannot resist. Unlike any woman he has known before, shy, unworldly Ana seems to see right through him—past the business prodigy and the penthouse lifestyle to Christian’s cold, wounded heart. Will being with Ana dispel the horrors of his childhood that haunt Christian every night? Or will his dark sexual desires, his compulsion to control, and the self-loathing that fills his soul drive this girl away and destroy the fragile hope she offers him? This book is intended for mature audiences.

~*~My Thoughts~*~ A 5 star rating I have to say I don't get why so many people are disappointed about this book I loved it. Christian was everything I thought he would be. I mean I don't know how you could read fifty and not draw that conclusion about him. Now I will say this I love an alpha a**hole to me there's nothing better. So maybe that's why I completely loved this book. I adored being in Christians head and finally seeing his thoughts through those situations. All in all I thought this was a great read and I sincerely hope she does all of the series this way.

~*~Ride Steady By Kristen Ashley Blog Tour~*~

Book: Ride Steady Author: Kristen Ashley Series: Chaos MC # 3 Genre: Contemporary Romance Publication Date: June 30th, 2015 Reviewer: Carrie :) Received a complimentary copy from the publisher for an honest review.

~*~Blurb For Book~*~

RIDE STEADY by Kristen Ashley (June 30, 2015; Forever Mass Market; Chaos #3)

The ride of her life . . . Once upon a time, Carissa Teodoro believed in happy endings. Money, marriage, motherhood: everything came easy---until she woke up to the ugly truth about her Prince Charming. Now a struggling, single mom and stranded by a flat tire, Carissa's pondering her mistakes when a vaguely familiar knight rides to her rescue on a ton of horsepower. Climb on and hold tight . . . In high school, Carson Steele was a bad boy loner who put Carissa on a pedestal where she stayed far beyond his reach. Today, he's the hard-bodied biker known only as Joker, and from the way Carissa's acting, it's clear she's falling fast. While catching her is irresistible, knowing what to do with her is a different story. A good girl like Carissa is the least likely fit with the Chaos Motorcycle Club. Too bad holding back is so damned hard. Now, as Joker's secrets are revealed and an outside threat endangers the club, Joker must decide whether to ride steady with Carissa---or ride away forever . . .

~*~Excerpt~*~

“Yo!” I heard Snapper call and I looked to him to see he was looking beyond me. I turned around and saw Tabby was heading toward me and Snapper. “I’m takin’ Carissa out on my bike. You wanna look after her purse or put it in Shy’s room or somethin’?”

At his request, Tabby’s gaze immediately cut to the pool tables. When she took them in, for some reason, her face got hard before she softened it and looked back toward us.

“Not a problem,” she said, stopping at us. “Go. Ride.”

“Never been on a bike,” I told her and her face split in a big smile.

“Then go. Ride.” She leaned in to me. “Beware, wind in your hair, moon on your skin, you’ll fall in love.”

I wasn’t sure that was a good thing. I’d fallen in love with something I couldn’t have, and if I fell in love with the wind in my hair and the moon on my skin, without someone to give that to me, I couldn’t have that either.

But to heck with it.

Maybe this would be the only bike ride I’d I’d have in my life.

And maybe the kiss Joker gave me was the only fabulous kiss I’d ever get.

And maybe my dream of having a family or the other dream of getting behind the steel guarding Joker’s eyes was lost to me.

But I was still breathing.

So I’d take what I could get.

Tabby put her hand on my purse, which was lying on the bar. “Got this. Have fun.”

“Thanks,” I whispered.

She winked at me.

I looked to Snapper. “Let’s go.”

“Meet you at the end of the bar, babe.”

“Right!” I chirped, jumped off my stool, threw Tabby a smile, nabbed my jacket that I was sitting on and bounced to the end of the bar.

When I got there, Snapper had pulled on his leather jacket. He grabbed my hand and guided me out the door and to his bike. Then he got on his bike before instructing me on how to do the same.

The bike roared, he backed out on an angle, and we glided over the tarmac of Ride.

He pulled out onto Broadway and I got it.

The wind in my hair.

The moon on my skin.

The leather of his jacket in my nostrils.

The solidness of him under my hands at his waist.

We got close to the onramp of I‑25 and he shouted, “Hold on!”

“Sorry?” I shouted back.

“Hold on!” he yelled, taking one hand off the grip and using it to pull my hand from his waist and around to his stomach.

He put his hand back on the grip and we turned up the ramp, going faster, faster, faster, the wind whipping my hair and biting into my skin. I curved my other arm around him, put my chin to his shoulder, drew in air and leather, and I got it.

Instantly.

That it being why this was the life for a biker.

No encumbrances. You wanted to smoke pot, you smoked it. You wanted to wear a tube top, you wore it. You wanted to drink shots, you drank them. You wanted to make out hot and heavy on a couch in a room filled with people, you did it.

You wanted to live, you lived.

You wanted to be free, you got on your bike and rode in the moonlight.

You did not drink martinis you didn’t like. You did not take a job your mother‑in‑law thought you should have. You did not take guff from your ex, not ever.

You did what you wanted.

You were free.

In all that was happening to me, all that I was feeling, all the disappointment of that night and the bizarre devastation I felt that the first time this happened, me on the back of a bike, I would have preferred it be with Joker . . . right then, for that moment, I let it all go.

I let it go, held on to Snapper and I let myself feel it.

Feel something rare and beautiful and overwhelming.

Feel something I knew for certain I hadn’t felt in my whole life.

Free.

~*~My Thoughts~*~

A huge 5 star rating Once again Kristen Ashley has managed to melt my heart and my panties. This book was absolutely amazing. Carson "Joker" Steele was one of the best characters in a book I've read! Kristen does alpha males like no other and I literally would bow down to this woman. Carissa was also amazing just like all of Kristen's women. She's full of sass and cute as all get out. I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this for two reasons one I was not gonna pass up re-reading Motorcycle Man or any of the other chaos books so not only was I on a Kristen high already.....this book ended up being amazing like I knew it would be that being reason number two. All in all I honestly doubt I would ever ever give Kristen a review that had a single negative thing to say she's amazing and so is this book read it now!!
