REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: ADAM, ENOUGH SAID (THIS CAN’T BE HAPPENING)(VOLUME 3) by LYNDA LEEANNE

October 3, 2013

image

Title: Adam, Enough Said (This Can’t Be Happening)(Volume 3)
Author: Lynda LeeAnne
Release Date: August 17, 2013
Add to Goodreads

Synopsis:
Our past was painful and a lot of mistakes were made, but that was then – this is now.
Mia wants a fight? I’ll give her one.
She wants to leave me? I’ll make her stay.
This is our future. She belongs to me.

Our past wasn’t just painful, it was soul-shattering, and no amount of time will change that.
Adam wants a fight? Bring it.
He won’t let me leave? I’ll make him pay.
This is my future. I don’t belong to him.

Follow Adam and Mia’s journey through the deliciously dysfunctional madness they like to call…marriage.

Author’s note: This is the third book in the This Can’t Be Happening Series, but it can be read as a stand-alone.

Author’s warning: Mature content, lots of cussing (as in, A LOT), a five-foot-three, redheaded, terror of a woman and a sexy, possessive, crazy, hot alpha cop.

My Review:

This was the first book I have read by this author and although this is the third book in a series, you can definitely read this book as a standalone. I loved Adam and Mia. He is a tough-talking, Alpha cop and she is a beautiful redhead who doesn’t take BS from anyone. I loved Adam and Mia’s near-constant fighting almost as much as I loved their incredibly hot sex scenes. These two can’t stay away from each other even though they drive each other crazy when they’re together. The book is told in a series of alternating POV’s which I loved. Adam and Mia married young, and suffered through an incredibly painful tragedy. A series of unfortunate misunderstandings leads to their breaking up, but they never stopped loving each other. At times during the story, I found Mia’s behavior to be absolutely infuriating but I really grew to love her about half-way through the book! And Adam is amazing! All he wants to do is provide a home for Mia. He is a really good guy but he always says the wrong thing.

There is an exciting storyline and a very satisfying epilogue to Adam and Mia’s story. Sometimes, you need a break from all the wealthy billionaire/innocent heroine love stories with a story about two very down-to-earth and relatable characters and this is the perfect antidote. I am going to read the first two books in this series and I am looking forward to more stories from this author!

About the Author:

Let’s see… I’m a wife, a full-time mother of two extremely handsome little boys, and stepmother to a very beautiful pre-teen. I was born and raised in different areas of Houston, Texas, thus the reason I’m a cross between city girl and country girl. My goal in life is to live on a huge ranch with my family and a plethora of goats, horses and cows; but no chickens! A family friend gave me a baby “chick” when I was 10 years old and the damn thing turned out to be a monstrous ROOSTER! It was evil! Along with being a full-time wife and mother, I also work a full-time 8 to 5. So for me, writing has been a wonderful escape. I never realized how much fun it would be until I got started. I’m fairly new to writing and only hope to grow with time. Throughout school I took journalism and was also on my high school’s newspaper team…. Truthfully, I just took the classes to get my off-campus pass, HA!

BLOG TOUR, REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: COME TOGETHER (CITYSCAPE SERIES #3) by JESSICA HAWKINS

September 22, 2013

image

image

SYNOPSIS:

COME TOGETHER is the third and final installment of The Cityscape Series.

With a single decision, Olivia Germaine’s fantasy has become a reality. Now she is faced with two commitments: one she must make and one she must break. But in order to accept a love she never thought possible, Olivia will have to let go of the broken past that defines her – and of deeply-rooted fears that could ruin everything.

Everything is what David Dylan wants to give her, and it’s what he wants in return. He must prove to Olivia that despite his playboy ways, he’s worth leaving behind the stable future her husband can offer her. David is a man who always gets what he wants . . . but this time he may be fighting for something unattainable.

Can Olivia escape the past that threatens to consume her?

And can David break through to her before it does?

image

REVIEW:

Hello, David Dylan! Jessica’s Hawkins has created a strong, sensitive, sexy and smart character who might be my new favorite book boyfriend. Come Together is a strong conclusion to the Cityscape series, answering the question of whether David and Olivia’s intense love is enough to keep them together. This is an incredibly well-written series, filled with strong characters and detailed backgrounds. Oh, and the sex is HOT and had me swooning over David Dylan.

I also absolutely love the Chcago setting and how the city forms part of the storyline. But let’s not forget Liv and David, the central characters who both have lots of emotional baggage along with plenty of outside influences which threaten to drive them apart. What I loved about David is that he is absolutely certain that he and Olivia are meant for each other, and he will allow nothing to come between them.

I must give Come Together a 5 for the heat factor, David Dylan absolutely burns up the page! And I loved the ending of this book, not many books make me emotional, but I shed a few tears by the end of this book. It was the perfect, somewhat poignant conclusion to David and Olivia’s story. Read the sexy and sophisticated Cityscape series, you won’t be disappointed.

A TERRIBLE LOVE:

Jess Mackey is living a meticulously fabricated lie of necessity. She’s left the secret tragedy of her past behind along with who she was and is forging ahead with a clean slate. But Jess soon discovers that passion can’t be left behind—neither her own, nor that of the one man who sees who she really is…and whose unexpected presence may breach the peaceful life Jess has painstakingly created for herself.

Devin Castile didn’t expect to meet a young woman who may be the missing puzzle piece to his existence…and who is also the victim of a heinous crime. Devin convinces himself that he can remain emotionally distant even while indulging his physical desire for her.

EXCERPT from A TERRIBLE LOVE

The Seattle Pacific Ballet Company has arrived. This is the audition Carlie tried to bully me into attending a few days ago. Heat suffuses my body in a sickening nauseous wave. I turn to leave and Mitch puts a staying hand gently on my arm. He jerks his jaw toward where a mock stage has been set up. “It’s this way, dancing girl.” He smiles, his teeth very white in his face.
“I can’t do it . . . I’m not signed up,” I say, folding my arms again, the paper with my audition number crinkling underneath the gesture.
His smile widens into a grin as he dips his head to look at a clipboard that just magically appears. Mitch runs a long, tapered finger down the assembled names until he reaches midway. He taps it once and I jump slightly. He lifts his chin, a light dusting of dark stubble sprinkled on the slight cleft that bisects it. “There you are,” he says softly. “Mackey, Jess.”
He sweeps his hand in front of me; I give a death glare to Carlie and my traitor friend winks at me. I can’t not audition without looking like an ass.
My feet are dragging like lead fills my shoes.
My slippers!
Carlie jogs to my side and hands me my ballet slippers. I seethe at her; she smiles sweetly and whispers, “Break a leg.”
I gaze at the stage like it’s the fabled pirate’s plank. My stomach clenches as I move to take my place in line and watch the girl onstage. She’s perfect . . . breathtaking.
The music ends softly and she moves off the stage. The judges whisper and I know immediately who they’ll choose.
It won’t be me.
I think of Faith and what she would have wanted. I think of how I love her still. Of how this dream of Faith’s that I reach my full potential, that I escape the madness of a household ruled by indifferent tyranny and jealousy born of privilege and entitlement come to an end . . . and a new beginning.
Thad can’t reach me here, and this is my way to honor Faith and, in so doing, myself.
Then an extraordinary thing happens. When it is my turn I float up the steps and onto the temporary stage as they put on
Moonlight Sonata by Beethoven.
It’s from before.
The notes breathe through the auditorium, making the fine hairs of my neck stand at attention. The music robs me of thought, forcing my body to execute moves I forgot I knew. My arms sweep, and I pirouette, spinning and snapping my head to find my corner. The soreness from earlier melts away as my body heats with familiarity. As I whip my leg up, my foot is parallel to my head for a fraction of time and then I land softly, only to immediately rise to the balls of my feet as I approach the judges with their riveted stares. The length of the song and its sad ending beg my limbs to undulate in a perfectly timed flutter of classic swan arms. I draw nearer still while keeping my elbows level as my arms float in a wavelike pattern and the balls of my feet propel me forward just as the final piano notes fall.
Then once more their sorrowful notes swell and fill the auditorium in melancholy triumph.
I stop, dipping into a graceful plié, and assume first position. My hands are cupped slightly and I tilt my head, looking off to the right of my position. The utter lack of noise causes me to look at the judges as I relax my shoulders and my hands drop gracefully to my sides.
They have stood and every eye is on me. Including the gray gaze of a certain hunk named Mitch.
When the applause breaks out I don’t know whether to cry or run.
In the end, I stay.
My eyes scan the crowd and notice the one person who does not clap.
A man leans against the back of the cavernous gym auditorium, his black eyes seeming to attack me, and I take an involuntary step backward from the burning intensity of his gaze.
Carlie interrupts the moment, throwing herself at me.
“I knew you could,” she whispers, strangling me in an epic hug that cuts off my airway.
I gently push her away and look for that disconcerting male presence. Hostile.
But he is gone.
Just like he was never there.

BLOG TOUR, REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: TATTERED LOVE (NEEDLE’S KISS #1) by LOLA STARK

September 20, 2013

image

image

SYNOPSIS:

When ex-Special Ops bad-ass Mace walks into Needle’s Kiss tattoo parlour, he never expected to find the girl who would turn his life upside down.

Hard as nails Scarlett has been unlucky in love: she’s been burnt, chewed up and spat out. Reluctant to have another relationship, can she keep her wits about her when hot-as-sin Mace walks into her tattoo parlor? Or will he break her down and leave his mark within her ink?

What starts out as a little fun, turns into something so much more.

Can Scarlett look beyond Mace’s devastating past or will his demons come back to haunt them both?

Content warning: contains steamy, anywhere-goes sex, an alcohol induced embarrassing night out and two headstrong lovers taken on a whirlwind of crazy.

REVIEW:

Pay attention to the content warning, because this books contains sex, lots and lots of SEX! And it is HOT! Tattered Love is an outstanding debut from Lola Stark, filled with a fast-paced, well-written storyline, lots of interesting characters and most importantly, the fantastic, swoon-inducing, hot-as-hell MACE! This man is so hot, he practically jumps off the page!

Tattoo artist Sacrlett knows she is in for trouble when Mace walks in to her tattoo parlor. The brother of one of her artists, Mace never forms a connection with women, until of course, he meets the smart, sexy and very strong-willed Scarlett. These two have sizzling chemistry right from the start, and I loved that Mace went for it right from the beginning. And in between the wonderfully steamy sex scenes, there’s actually a good story, too! Mace and Scar both have secrets in their pasts that threaten their happiness together. But the last part of the book was not what I expected and I loved every single word!

I am normally not a huge fan of secondary characters, but this group are funny, loyal, interesting and well-written. This is a fabulous, sexy debut novel from this author! Although I read Tattered Love quickly, I did not want it to end, and I can’t wait for more from Lola Stark!!

Author K. Bromberg is celebrating The Driven Trilogy! Driven AND Fueled are on sale for a limited time! Plus, we have an excerpt and you can enter the author giveaway below.

Title: Fueled (Book #2 of the Driven Trilogy)

Author: K. Bromberg

Release date: August 27, 2013

Age Group: Adult

Genre: Contemporary/Erotic Romance

What happens when the one person you never expected suddenly happens to be the one you’ll fight the hardest to keep?

Colton stole my heart. He wasn’t supposed to, and I sure as hell didn’t want him to, but he crashed into my life, ignited feelings within me that I thought had died forever, and fueled a passion that I never knew could exist.

Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet and into my life. Now I don’t think I’ll ever be the same. She’s seen glimpses of the darkness within me, and yet she’s still here. Still fighting for me. She is without a doubt the saint, and I am most definitely the sinner.

How is it the one thing neither of us wanted—neither of us anticipated that fateful night—has us fighting so hard to keep?

He steals my breath, stops my heart, and brings me back to life again all in a split second of time. But how can I love a man who won’t let me in? Who continually pushes me away to prevent me from seeing the damaged secrets in his past? My heart has fallen, but patience and forgiveness can only go so far.

How can I desire a woman who unnerves me, defies me, and forces me to see that in the deep, black abyss of my soul there’s someone worthy of her love? A place and person I swore I’d never be again. Her selfless heart and sexy body deserve so much more than I’ll ever be capable of giving her. I know I can’t be what she needs, so why can’t I just let her go?

We are driven by need and fueled with desire, but is that enough for us to crash into love?

EXCERPT:

Colton spins me around, his body presses against mine, and his hands clasp at my lower back. The smirk on his face matches the wicked gleam in his eye. “Oh, Ryles, didn’t you know that dares like that are what rebels like me live for?” He leans in, his lips a breath from my ear as my heart pounds against my rib cage. “I will have you, Rylee, when I want, where I want, and how I want. It’s best you remember that.”
The dominance in his voice excites me. The threat-filled promise arouses me. The feel of his body against mine vibrating with need and his hands possessing my skin cause moisture to pool at the apex of my thighs. I tilt my head up and my lips part—needing his mouth on mine desperately. From what I read in Colton’s eyes, he feels the same way. The days apart have fueled our desire into a raging inferno. All I want to do is take anything and everything he can give me. The temptation of paradise at my fingertips.

BLOG TOUR and REVIEW: BENEATH THE SURFACE (RELUCTANCE #1) by M.A. STACIE

September 7, 2013

image

Summary:

Kyran Reese is a man in control. Driven when it comes to work, focused when it comes to play. From his office to the chalk circle of Metro’s bare-knuckle boxing ring, his only thought is to win. That thirst heightens when Dale Porter enters his life. His brother’s assistant should be off-limits, but her witty comments and sarcastic comebacks have him desperate to get her between the sheets. After receiving an unexpected left hook, Kyran gets exactly what he wants, though he makes the rules very clear.

When Dale agrees to Kyran’s relationship stipulation of no labels, she’s sucked into a whirlwind of lust, money, and underground boxing. The agreement to keep their lust away from the office is discarded when rules are molded to suit their ever-increasing attraction. Dale fights her growing affection, trying to hide it even when the world around them spirals out of control. All too soon she realizes she can’t hide her true feelings any longer.

Kyran begins to wonder if he’s finally met his match, and with his family falling apart before his eyes, he turns to the two things he knows will keep him sane: boxing and Dale. Those crutches can’t last forever, and when Kyran finds it harder to function he is left with a decision he never thought he’d have to make.

Could playing to win mean playing for keeps?

Goodreads

image

Review:

Kyran is a conservative, successful businessman by day and a bare-knuckled fighter by night. Few know his secret obsession with fighting, at least until Dale comes along:

“This was what he needed. This was what he lived for. No amount of buying and selling businesses could beat the buzz he got from it. Tomorrow would be better – his senses would be heightened and his rigid control would return.”

Kyran and his brother Taylor work together in their family buiness. Dale Porter is hired as Taylor’s assistant and the minute she meets Kyran, there is no denying the sexual attraction between them. Kyran is an Alpha male, pure sex, and Dale captivates him with her smart and witty demeanor. These two can’t fight their attraction, and the author really steams up the pages with these two! This book is filled with raw, explicit sex scenes that literally burn up the pages.

Dale knows she should not have a relationship with her boss’s brother but there is no denying Kyran Reese!

“When she looked into his eyes, she almost lost all logic. The desire that clouded his eyes left her fumbling for words.”

One problem: Kyran Reese doesn’t do relationships, and their relationship is supposed to be strictly about the sex. The author kept me turning the pages to see how Dale would deal with Kyran’s inability or just plain unwillingness to show his true feelings.

“Dale. Don’t push this. I’m being honest. I’m giving you what I can.” – Kyran

Oh, and besides all the smoking hot sex, there is plenty of family drama and lots of bare-knuckled boxing action. If you want a steamy, sexy, action-filled book, that’s also a fairly quick read, then you will love Beneath the Surface.

REVIEW

Disclaimer: I am no writer, so anything I say here will not be able to do justice to the amazing writing talent of K. Bromberg! So a few months ago a book called Driven landed in my in box along with a lovely email asking if Cathy and I would be interested in reading the book. Other obligations interfered until finally over the summer, I began reading what turned out to be one of my absolute favorite series ever! As a matter of fact, I started reading Driven (yes, I know this is the Fueled Blog Tour!) while I was on a family vacation that involved a lot of driving. Thankfully I have three other drivers in my family because every chance I got, I hopped in the back seat with my Kindle and said, “Oh, a two-hour drive? No problem! Let’s go!” That’s how obsessed I was with Colton and Rylee. I could not get enough of them.

I could not wait to dive into Fueled. And the author literally grabs your heart right from the very beginning and does. Not. Let. Go. My heart was pounding out of my chest for most of this book. And it’s not just the amazingly steamy sex scenes between Colton and Rylee. It’s the actions of Colton, it’s Rylee’s reactions, it’s the secondary characters, the racing scenes, the emotional connection between Rylee and Colton. . . Well, you get the picture.

My blogging partner Cathy read Fueled after release day, and was very skeptical about my ranting and raving about Colton and Rylee. Well, she loved it MORE than Driven, and she is almost always disappointed with sequels!

Fueled has inspired a lot of fervor from readers and the author kindly responds to every comment, email and Tweet about Colton and Rylee. She is clearly as passionate about her characters as we are. We RACE you, Kristy!

So there’s our little review. No detailed plot descriptions here because this book should most definitely be read without any spoilers, because the story is just, wow. Will you have a book hangover after reading Fueled? Oh, yeah. But please don’t bother the author! She needs to write CRASHED ASAP!

I look over my shoulder and smile at him. “Thank you,” I reply, recognizing the salacious look in his eyes. “But I have a feeling that your view is a little jaded from a lack of sex.”
The hum of appreciation in the back of his throat makes me smile. “Oh, baby, there’s definitely nothing wrong with my view,” he says with a chuckle. I start to go up the second flight again, but this time Colton’s hands seem to be touching me in various places with every step. A soft caress up the back of my thigh. A slight brush down my bare arm. A quick tap on my backside.
I know exactly what he’s doing, but it’s not like he needs to stoke the embers because I’m already a wild fire of need. Knowing that he wants me like this, needing and aching for more of his touch, makes me feel wanton and willing to play the game too. I sway my hips a little more than usual as I walk across the second landing. My hand purposely snagging my hem to reveal just a trace of what’s beneath it.
Colton’s lightning quick as he grabs me from behind, both of his arms wrapping around me in a vice like grip. “You little minx.” He growls in my ear as I feel the play of his muscles against my back. “Are you really going to tease me like that when I’ve been without being inside of you—tasting you for way too long? Especially when you know how desperate I am to have you.”

SYNOPSIS

Coming off the worst divorce in the history of marriages, Nellie Gamboa’s looking to let loose and make up for years of neglect. When months of building sexual tension between her and the young hot boxing stud, Abel Ayala, finally peak, she makes him an offer no man would
refuse.

No promises. No demands. Just pure unrestrained passion.

Abel’s training for the biggest fight of his career. He has no time for a social life, much less a relationship. So this arrangement couldn’t be more perfect. A beautiful woman asking him to help her alleviate her neglected desires—no strings attached. What more can he ask for?

As the lines between lust and something much deeper, begin to blur, Abel finds himself in an even bigger fight.

The fight to regain control of his now demanding heart.

Spoiler-Free Review

Abel is a very sexy and very romantic story! As a character, Abel is strong, handsome and very charming. I found it refreshing that he actually did not like to play games, even though he and Nellie started off their sizzling relationship with a “no strings attached” declaration. When he realizes how he really feels about Nellie, he is very honest and straightforward in his behavior, which I found to be very refreshing. Abel is actually an Alpha male who is very sweet, too.

Nellie is a very smart and strong character. She is recovering from a disastrous marriage and very painful divorce and vows not to get involved in a serious relationship. But along comes Abel, who is several years younger, by the way, and she is literally swept off her feet.

Elizabeth Reyes does a great job of developing their very sexually intense relationship outside the bedroom, too, and the supporting cast of 5th Street characters are all very well-written and developed. We are also introduced to some new supporting characters in Abel.

There is a very interesting storyline involving Abel’s boxing opponent and I loved reading about the boxing world. I loved the mix of sports and romance in Abel. There are some intensely emotional moments in the story, which blend nicely with the hot sex scenes. Elizabeth Reyes has
created very rich and sexy story and I look forward to reading more of her books!

Favorite Quotes:

“Only three types of people tell the truth: Kids, the drunk, and the
angry.” – Abel

“You’re mine, Nellie.” – Abel

Excerpt

Staring at Nellie’s soft pink lips as he tried to catch his breath Abel spoke again trying to calm the yearning he was feeling already.
“We’re meeting with the director of PR in charge of this whole thing in a couple of weeks. You think you can be there?”
She nodded as she too obviously struggled to catch her breath. Unable to hold back anymore he placed his hand on her thigh thankful that he’d gotten to her house before she’d changed out of her sexy as sh*t skirt suit. His fingers found their way under her skirt and caressed the soft warm inner thigh.

Feeling her quiver made him smile. “What day?” she asked.

“Pretty sure Noah said a week from next Friday after closing,” his lips were on hers again as soon as she nodded.

She pulled away mid kiss and thought about it for a second. “If that’s Friday the 13th I can’t. I have plans that night.”

Abel’s hand froze on her thigh and he stared at her for a moment not sure if he should ask but he sure as hell wanted to. “Oh?”

“Yeah,” she said nodding, her eyes rushing from his lips to his eyes.
“If it were any other night I could but that’s the only night I can’t. Will you be meeting again with him another time?”

Abel continued to stare at her hoping she’d shed a little light on what those plans were exactly. When she didn’t he pulled away from her slowly. “I don’t know,” he said trying to keep his tone as normal as possible. “Probably, but it’d be best if you were in on everything from here on since it’s getting down to the wire.” He reached for his drink not wanting to have eye contact with her when he asked his next question. “Any chance you can get out of your plans?”

He turned to her when she didn’t answer immediately. She was frowning then inhaled thinking about it. “I don’t think so. It’s a concert and the tickets have already been paid for.”

He swallowed down a bigger drink than he had originally planned, Maybe she was going with a girlfriend. “Oh, yeah? Who you gonna go see?”

She smiled suddenly.“Slightly Stoopid at the House of Blues.”

Feeling the slightest bit of relief and not really understanding why he remembered Noah mentioning that Roni wanted to go see them too but…
“I thought Noah said they were sold out.”

“They were,” she said taking a sip of her water this time. “At least when me and Roni tried getting tickets they were. Somehow a co-worker of mine was able to get tickets.”

Just moments ago Abel thought he might need another drink maybe two. Now he was overcome with the urge to kiss her again. “That’s cool,” he said leaning into her again. “I know Roni really likes them.” With that his mouth was on hers and his fingers once again making their way
up her thigh under her skirt he murmured against her lips. “Ever had sex in public, Nellie?” The thought of taking her right there already driving him to the brink of madness.

“No!” She gasped pulling away.

“Shhh! It’s okay,” he whispered laughing softly. His hand moved further up in between her legs. Technically they’d been in a public place on the cruise but they were behind a closed door. Even though this was a private booth they were still in a public restaurant. He understood her apprehension so he wouldn’t push her. “We don’t have to
do that. But you said this was exciting on the cruise.”

“It was,” she said breathlessly. “But—”

“We won’t go there. Trust me,” he whispered quickly then pulled away to look her in the eyes. “You trust me?”

She nodded licking her lips and he dove in again. He kissed her hungrily feeling her moan in his mouth as he gently pushed her thighs apart.

SPOTLIGHT, EXCERPT and INTERVIEW: ESCAPE FROM OBSESSION by DIXIE LYNN DWYER

August 19, 2013

Today we are spotlighting Dixie Lynn Dwyer and her scorching-hot book THE AMERICAN SOLDIER COLLECTION: ESCAPE FROM OBSESSION, an erotic menage a quatre romance (M/F/M/M) published by Siren Publishing, Inc. We have an exclusive excerpt and a very revealing interview with the author!

image

Book Description:

Gia Marie Giselli has heard very little about menage relationships. With her fear of men, and battle wounds from her past, she’s nearly blindsided by three brothers, who want exactly that: a menage relationship with Gia.

Escaping from a bad relationship in NYC, she flees to Texas and meets up with the three brothers: Garrett, Wes, and Gunny McCallister. Three gorgeous hunks who are interested in getting to know her better. But her fear of men, and their capabilities, stands in the way of opening up her heart.

As they try to convince her that this relationship is serious, some jerk from work attempts to assault her, making all her fears of men resurface.

When they finally get through that incident, Gia’s past reemerges. Can the McCallisters keep her safe and convince her that true love and compassion don’t come in the form of fists, control, and fear?

EXCERPT

She relished in the moment of their first kiss. Smooth, deep, and
sexy, he explored her mouth while his hands roamed her body.She was hesitant to reciprocate as he deepened the kiss then turned her so that he was pressed against the wall. She wondered if he sensed her hesitation and was giving her the power to control how far this went, but then his arm wrapped around her waist tightly as he held her head, devouring her moans. She ran her hands up along his muscular arms then down to his trim waist. She felt his large hand slide across her ass then squeeze her cheek as he pulled her closer. Then she felt the second set of hands and she gasped.

“It’s me, Gia. Don’t be scared.” Wes massaged her shoulders as Garrett eased up his hold to allow Wes to explore her body, too.

She felt the heat of Wes’s chest against her shoulder blades and his firm, hard thighs against her ass. He was tall. They both were. But when he moved the palm of his hand under her camisole and touched her skin, she pulled from Garrett’s mouth.

“Oh God, Wes, please, this is too much.”

Wes took her mouth with his and devoured her words. Being wedged between them like this was overwhelming and then came the flashbacks. Antonio and Valdere. Both men pressing against her, trying to remove her clothing.

She pulled from Wes’s lips and pressed her hands hard against Garrett. She managed to part from them and stepped back, nearly tripping as she covered her mouth.

“Gia, what’s wrong?” Garrett asked and it was Wes who pulled her into his arms. He held her and she tried to steady her breathing.
“I’m sorry. I’m so sorry. I totally panicked.”
“Why, baby? Did you think we would go too far or hurt you?” Wes asked.
She pulled back and tried to hide the fear and tears in her eyes, but by both men’s facial expressions, they could tell she was scared.
“I need to go. I told you that I needed things to go slow. It’s my fault. I thought I was ready.” She bolted for the door just as it opened. There stood Gunny. He was wearing his uniform and he looked concerned as he absorbed her expression then looked at his brothers.
“What’s wrong?” He stepped forward and closed the door. “What the hell happened? What did you two do?”
She placed her hand against Gunny’s chest.
“They didn’t do anything wrong. It’s just me. I thought I was okay. I just need to go. Bye,” she said then exited the room.
She said good-bye to Sammy and her friends and headed out. As the night air hit her skin, she felt how truly hot and turned-on she still was. She was enjoying their embrace, their kisses, and oh Lord, their touch. She wanted their hands everywhere, yet the flashback ruined it all. Fucking Antonio. Even now, he rules my world and maintains the power to control me and keep me from happiness.

Interview with Dixie Lynn Dwyer

How did you come up with the idea of three men and one woman in a menage relationship, falling in love equally, passionately, and in such a realistic fashion?

Dixie- The men in the American Soldier Collection Series are kind of complicated. As tough as they are, being ex-military, they have their own fears of commitment, trust and the simple ability of opening up their hearts. These men stick together, just like they did on the front lines. They trust their lives with their brothers. They know all their secrets, their wants and desires, and finding that perfect woman to complete them, also brings them peace, and makes them feel whole again, after all they’ve gone through. It takes a very special woman to win the hearts of three men. So the heroine, has a story of her own.

Do you have a specific formula that you follow when writing ménage romances?

Dixie- No, I do not have a formula when writing. I get an idea, and I just begin typing. The characters are so strong and bold, they lead the way.

Each story and character are so unique and realistic. Are they based on people you know, or completely fictional?

Dixie- The stories I write are fictional. They are creations of the ultimate man. Not so perfect, maybe even scarred, but waiting for that perfect woman to heal them, complete them and bring them ultimate happiness. A happy ever after is out there for everyone.

How do you write such explicit love scenes with multiple men and one woman, and still keep them apart in a way that is easy for the reader to follow?

Dixie- I believe that if a writer truly writes from the heart and soul, and believes in the characters that they create, then they can easily help the readers distinguish the differences between them. Description of character from the time they are first mentioned in the book, all the way through the story, must be accurate. I write as if the characters are real. I imagine the scenes as they take place, and describe them in that exact way in my writing. It just seems to work.

Is it difficult to come up with such sexy, intimidating, yet sensitive heroes? Do you know where I can pick one or two of them up for me? 😉

Dixie- lol. I get asked that all the time. I am sure men like I describe in my books are out there. I have known a few soldiers and men in uniform throughout my life, and all of them have had most of theses characteristics. These men in the story are a woman’s fantasy, but by the way I describe them, give them identifiable attributes as well as weaknesses, truly makes them realistic.

Blurb:
Fate hasn’t always been friends with Isabelle West. In fact, fate has been a down right bitch.

Isabelle has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn’t by your side. It can hand you dreams on silver platters, but it can snatch them right back and hand you nightmares. One thing Isabelle knew for sure fate was consistent with was taking away everything she ever loved.

For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle…her ex-husband.

When problems start causing her to fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past to come knocking on her door.

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

Our Review:

4 1/2 hot stars for Axel!

First, please note the author’s warning about the domestic violence scenes. They are intense! With that said, this is the story of misunderstandings, missed opportunities and a second chance at love. Years before, Izzy waited for Axel to return home from basic training, but a series of miscommunications and misunderstandings kept them apart. Izzy goes on to marry Brandon, who she thought was a wonderful guy, but it turned out she was entering into a horrible, abusive marriage.

“People say karma is a bitch but I have news for you, karma doesn’t have anything on fate when she is after blood. Not a single thing.”

“The past can’t touch me. I am stronger than this. I am a survivor.”

Izzy is literally saved from her abusive marriage by her best friend Dee, and by chance runs into Axel one night. He has started Corps Security with his friend Greg Cage, who also happens to be Izzy’s friend and protector. Axel is shocked to see Izzy again, the woman he thought had abandoned him years before.

“She was mine. She is mine. She will always fucking be mine.”

Izzy tries desperately to avoid confronting Axel because he had ripped her heart out years before. But Axel will not let her go so easily this time and demands that they clear the air.

“Sugar, I have thought about sex, hard fucking dirty sex, about a hundred times since we sat down to eat.” “Does that clear it up for you?”

“Never again, Izzy West. I will never again let anyone take you from me, or anything from us.” His words hang between us both as a promise and a threat.”

Cathy and I loved this book! We love Izzy, who was a fighter through all of the very rough events in her life. We love Axel, who still wants to protect Izzy, even though he too thought she had abandoned him years before. This book is filled with hot guys, rough talk and explicit sex. What’s not to love?

“Never letting you go, Izzy. Never.” He whispers into my hair, squeezing me a little tighter.
“I always have been yours, you know that, don’t you?”

This is a super-hot, fast-paced read filled with Alpha males and a second-chance love story. There are also some great supporting characters in Axel and it looks like Greg Cage will be getting his own story. Sign us up, please!

About the Author:

Harper lives in small town Georgia just a short drive from her hometown of Peachtree City. She (and her 3 daughters) enjoy ruling the house they dubbed ‘Estrogen Ocean’, much to her husbands chagrin. Harper has a borderline unhealthy obsession with books; you can almost ALWAYS find her with her eReader attached. She enjoys bad reality TV and cheesy romantic flicks. Her favorite kind of hero–the super alpha kind!

Harper started using writing as a way to unwind when the house went to sleep at night; and with a house full of crazy it was the perfect way to just relax. It didn’t take long before a head full of very demanding alphas would stop at nothing to have their story told.
