Good girls cheat too.

It’s a bitter reality Lorenzo Moreno knows all too well.

After his “good girl” fiancée blind sides him by cheating on him with her ex Lorenzo swears off relationships for a while, if not forever.

Until Fate steps in.

Unable to fight the incredible pull he feels to Olivia, a girl who was supposed to be just a meaningless one night stand, Lorenzo gives into his heart. But only after making one thing utterly clear. He will not deal with any exe’s or other men in her life. Period.

She’s not that person anymore.

For too long Olivia Romero shamefully put up with an manipulative and overly controlling boyfriend. So when fate pairs her up with the gorgeous but intense Air Force pilot she’s ready to stand her ground. Cutting all ties with her ex is no sacrifice for Olivia. It’s why she willingly complies with Lorenzo’s uncompromising stipulation.

As their relationship intensifies so does Lorenzo’s suspicions about any man in her life. Determined to not be that weak girl anymore, Olivia demands to be trusted. Despite how vehement her new boyfriend can be, her diligence seems to be working.

But when an unforeseen crisis arises Olivia is forced to make a decision. A decision she knows in Lorenzo’s jaded and suspicious mind could be unforgivable.

FELIX (5th Street #5) by ELIZABETH REYES – BLOG TOUR & EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT

November 21, 2014

Title: Felix (5th Street, #5)

Author: Elizabeth Reyes

Genre: NA | Contemporary Romance

Release Date: November 13, 2014

Synopsis

They say the only good thing about hitting rock bottom is that it can’t get any worse . . . or can it?

World famous boxing champ, Felix Sanchez, had it all—the fame, the fortune, and all the women any man could ask for. When the hours of partying followed by hours spent in court and in rehab begin to outnumber the hours he spends training, losing his title comes as no surprise to everyone. The world assumes he deserved to lose it.

Only those closest to Felix know the real truth behind his sudden downward spiral. And if Felix has his way, no one else ever will. With an uncertain future ahead of him, he heads back to his roots—5th Street—the gym that started it all for him. It’s where he meets the humble but mighty little Ms. Ella.

The only times Felix had ever decided to forgo the usual meaningless fling and try a real relationship he was burned badly. Now the adorable but tenacious self-defense instructor has him considering this love thing one more time.

Then just when he begins to worry that his past is letting his possessive and jaded heart get the best of him, he’s blindsided in the most brutal way—he’s brought to his knees—to what could be the one low in his life he may never recover from.

EXCERPT

He groaned at her touch, arching his back, his arms coming around her tighter. “Ella,” he said anxiously. “We don’t have to do anything you don’t want to.”

Was he nuts? She moaned against his lips. Was she giving out any signal that she didn’t want to do this? She’d jumped his bones the moment he fell back on that chair, and now she was groping him shamelessly.

She really should slow down. Felix was probably used to this reaction from girls. Where the hell was her modesty? Just when she was going to try and show a little self-restraint, Felix lowered his hand down under her skirt and between her legs.

They

worse . . . or can it?

World
famous boxing champ, Felix Sanchez, had it all—the fame, the fortune, and all
the women any man could ask for. When the hours of partying followed by hours
spent in court and in rehab begin to outnumber the hours he spends training,
losing his title comes as no surprise to everyone. The world assumes he
deserved to lose it.

Only
those closest to Felix know the real truth behind his sudden downward

future ahead of him, he heads back to his roots—5th Street—the gym that
started it all for him. It’s where he meets the humble but mighty little Ms.
Ella.

The
only times Felix had ever decided to forgo the usual meaningless fling and try
a real relationship he was burned badly. Now the adorable but tenacious
self-defense instructor has him considering this love thing one more time.

Then just when he begins
to worry that his past is letting his possessive and jaded heart get the best
of him, he’s blindsided in the most brutal way—he’s brought to his knees—to what could be the one low in his life he may never
recover from.

Excerpt

“You hired me not just
to help manage your career but to do damage control with the mess you and Andy
made of it. And ever since, all you’ve done is continue to go downhill. It’s
almost as if you’re trying to ruin your career.”

“Oh yeah? And what
career would that be, huh? My boxing career? Because I think we can both agree
that ship has sailed. I’m just trying to enjoy my life now.”

“How? By
getting drunk every night and partying ’til you pass out? By starting brawls
and beating the shit outta every nobody that calls you a has-been?” Preston
followed Felix into the next room of his penthouse suite. “You’re not washed
up, Felix. But if you keep treating your body the way you have been this past
year—staying up every night, fucking every girl who throws herself at you, and
partying up for days—you will be. Hell, even your dick’s gotta say I’ve had
enough sooner or later.”

Felix laughed, taking a
swig of his glass of bourbon. “Not a chance.”

Veronica Cruz has
been through hell and back. After disconnecting with the world two years ago to
be at the side of her dying mother, she’s left alone, unemployed, overweight,
and feeling a decade older than her twenty-eight years. When her best friend
coaxes her into joining the local gym to ditch her depression and rejuvenate
her life, she meets Noah. Assigned to help Veronica lose weight, Noah is
everything she expected a young trainer to be—perfectly chiseled, supportive
and motivating. Add to that, he’s incredibly sexy. He’s everything she’s ever
looked for in a man. What she least expected was for him to fall for her, but
he has. There’s just one glaring problem: Noah is eight years younger.

Noah Quintanilla has his eye on a boxing
title—someday. Down for a few months with an injury, his maintenance-boy pay at
5th Street Gym won’t cut it. He’s finally given the opportunity to train. The
catch? His trainee is an out-of-shape woman with a free week pass. Taking on
the challenge, Noah stumbles into one of the closest friendships he’s ever
known, and before he knows it, he’s in love. But Veronica’s not having it—the
age difference is too much. Their platonic relationship means having to watch
her date other men—something that would make him crazy. Believing he’s the man
for her, Noah sets out to prove that age is but an illusion, and there’s more
to him than just a number.

Teaser from Noah

Gio tapped his gloves. “You’re good,” he
said then jumped out of the ring as the ref gave them a one-minute warning.

Abel finished up with the Vaseline then
looked at him very seriously. “Keep your head in the fight. You hear me? I’ve
never seen you fight with this kind of distraction out there.” His head
gestured in Roni’s direction, but he never took his eyes off Noah. “You need to
focus, or it’s gonna cost you. Just use that left jab of yours, and you should
be good. Only thing this guy has is speed.”

The warning bell rang, and Abel jumped
out of the ring. Noah stood up, glancing in Roni’s direction. She was facing
the ring now, but the guy was still leaning forward, talking to her from
behind. Focus, damn it.

When tragedy
strikes in the ring, Giovanni Bravo falls into a deep depression, walking away
from his dream of boxing to train instead. He agrees to a two month get-away,
helping train Felix Sanchez, his high school best friend and now welterweight
champ of the world. Once at Felix’s lavish boxing complex, he’s reunited with
Bianca Rubio, someone he remembers only as the girl with the innocent doe eyes
back in high school. Her refreshing, cheerful demeanor not only takes Gio’s
mind off his troubled conscience, he finds himself falling for her fast and
hard. The problem—Bianca is Felix’s girlfriend.

Having a sexy, famous boyfriend has its perks,
but they come with a price. Bianca not only has to deal with the ongoing
tabloid rumors about her boyfriend hooking with other women, but also his
constant absence when he is on the road. So now that Felix will be in town for
two whole months to train for his next big bout, Bianca is thrilled. He’s even
asked her to move into his cabin while he’s there. But when he leaves for days
at a time to promote his fight, Bianca spends time getting to know Felix’s
gorgeous new trainer and good friend, Gio. Increasingly drawn to his sweet
smile and smoldering green eyes, she finds herself saying and doing things she
normally wouldn’t.

As it becomes more and more difficult for each
to resist the other, Gio crosses the line between them. He hopes that one kiss
will alleviate the overwhelming temptation and clear both their systems, but it
does just the opposite. Their temptation suddenly becomes an obsession–an
obsession that quickly forces Gio to realize this is more than just lust. He’s
fallen hard and to his delight so has she. Now he’s forced to make the hardest
decision of his life. Risk losing his long time friend or walk away from the
only girl he’s ever loved.

Teaser from Gio

“I was serious, you know,” she said casually.

He glanced at her, his eyebrows pulled
together. “About what?”

“You’re gonna be sore tomorrow.”

He chuckled now, really reminding her of
Felix and how cocky he’d been about it his first time out. “Did you forget I
work out every day?”

“I knew you’d say that because it’s
exactly what Felix said. This is a different work out, Gio. You’re gonna feel
it tomorrow—everywhere.
I promise.” He smiled, obviously not worried about it. “I mean it. You might
even consider soaking in the hot tub tonight. Felix was so sore the next day,
and he didn’t even go as long or as hard as you did.”

A sudden evil smile spread across his
face, and his eyes just about sparkled with humor. “Is that right, Bianca? So
you’re saying I went longer and harder than your boyfriend?

Womanizer—check.
Cocky—check.
Dangerous—checkmate.

Staying away from him was indisputably the
sensible thing to do. The problem? She wasn’t just drawn to him; she was
utterly mesmerized…

Charlotte Brennan is no stranger to heartache
and mortification. Her past is full of both. So when amazing and incredibly
intense Hector Ayala, literally jumps into Charlee’s life, her walls are
immediately up. Letting her guard down and sharing her past and deepest secret
is not happening. Charlee is not looking to get her heart crushed once again.
However, her willpower proves to be no match for Hector’s mesmerizing pull.

Guilt is a profound emotion to deal with and
no one knows this better than Hector. So when he gets the chance to make up for
a past indiscretion that’s been gnawing away at him for months, he takes it.
Doing so means he’ll also have to pass up pursuing Charlee, the only girl he’s
ever been so fascinated by. But his inability to explain why they could never
be has him dealing with a new kind of
guilt—the guilt of knowing he is unwillingly
breaking her heart.

Teaser from Hector

Nestor smiled at Hector.
“Looks like I’ll be getting laid tonight.”

“You think so?” Hector
asked ready to slam Nestor against the wall.

“Oh yeah,” Nestor
continued, smiling big.

Nestor almost walked
past him, but Hector stepped in front of him. “And what makes you think that?”

Nestor backed up a step,
pinching his brows. “Because I just invited some chicks to a keg party tonight,
and they said they’d be there.” What had turned into a somewhat defensive
expression eased into a smirk and Nestor added. “Hell, I may even have me a
twofer.”

“Really?” Hector did his
best to sound as calm as he could. “The redhead you were talking to out there?”

Nestor’s smiled. “Yeah,
Charlee.”

Just hearing him say her
name made Hector want to punch him in the fucking throat. “Charlee ismy
friend which means she’s off limits to you.” He turned to the other guys who
were listening also and raised his voice a notch. “To all of you.” Nestor began
to frown, pushing Hector’s agitation to another level. Speaking louder and more
demanding, he took a step closer to the idiot. “You have a problem with that,
Nestor?”

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.

Teaser
from Abel

And finally Abel.

Feeling crazed with anticipation, Abel’s
eyes searched for the ice/vending machine room like the one on his floor. The
moment he saw it, he pulled her in it.

He answered her confused expression with
a kiss as he closed the door and pushed her against it. “I need to refuel.”

All right, he needed to get laid more
often. This was ridiculous. Obviously he’d been spending too much time training
and not enough socializing, because he’d never felt this kind of urgency. Duly
noted—he’d move a few things around in his schedule. She lifted her leg,
bringing it around him.

“Careful,” he warned, biting her lower
lip, “or I may just finish you up right here.”

“Do it,” was her only response, and he
froze.

Pulling back to look in her eyes, he
could see she was serious. “Right here?” He asked, his hand already traveling
down under her dress.

She nodded as his fingers felt the
dampness between her legs and how hot she already was, pushing his heart into
overdrive. He squeezed his eyes shut as he leaned his forehead against
hers.

“Sweetheart, don’t play with me.”

“I’m not,” she assured him breathlessly.

Author’s Favorite Quotes from The Moreno Brothers Series

By Elizabeth Reyes

I have favorite quotes for different reasons: some because of the meaning behind said quote and others because of what the quote does to the story itself. This is a quick quote/scene from my first novel ever, Forever Mine.

“Maybe he was just a friend,” Sarah said.
Angel smiled. “No such thing.”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean there’s no such thing as guys and girls being friends.”
In this case, I like that this is such an innocent statement but holds so much weight in what’s to come in the rest of the story. As casually as Angel says this, Sarah soon finds out he’s adamant about it. Unlike Angel, Sarah and the readers all know the truth from the very beginning. Sarah’s best friend—the one waiting for her back home, the one she’d repeatedly gushed about and said she needs to move back to be with, and the one he assumes is a girl—is actually a guy. Her decision to let him keep his incorrect assumption sets the stage for the rest of the book. The Jaws’ music gets a little louder the more intense their relationship becomes.

Another of my favorites from the MB series is this one from Romero.

Romero’s eyes began to flood, but he was without expression. He hugged her, softly at first, but with every breath he took, he hugged her even harder. He didn’t say a word, and she didn’t ask anything else, just ran her fingers through his hair until his breathing began to calm. Without letting go of her or even pulling away to face her, he finally whispered against her ear, “Please don’t leave me. I promise I’ll try harder.” Slowly he pulled away and their eyes met. “I’m nothing without you, Izzy.”
The reason why I love this from Romero so much is because, as I’ve mentioned in other interviews, I was very nervous about Romero’s story. In all the other books, he’d always been the loud, hotheaded, foul-mouthed sidekick. This was why I never intended to give him his own story. I really didn’t think I could turn him around and make him endearing. It turned out he has one of the most vulnerable sides of any of my heroes. That scene is just one example.

This next one is one of my favorites because it not only appears in two of the books it’s a scene from Forever Mine later revisited from Sofie’s POV in Sweet Sofie.

“Maybe I had my tongue down his throat!” Sofia cried. “Ever think of that?” All three brothers stood there, staring at her. Alex blinked and opened his mouth, but nothing came out.
This one still cracks me up because both times I wrote it I could literally picture all three hot-headed, overprotective brothers standing there staring at her stunned. As tough and as alpha as they may be, baby sister got one up on all of them and rendered them speechless for a moment. LOL 😉

Here’s a quick one from Always Been Mine.

“I love you, Val. Always have.”
For obvious reasons, this one touches my heart. Even he wasn’t certain of this until he blurted it out. It was just so genuine. It also made me think back to Forever Mine when they first met. How young, innocent, and naive they both were to think their arrangement was just a fun thing and that at their age their little flirtation wouldn’t lead to much more than making out. *sigh* On a side note, there is more to come from these two. Stay tuned! 😉

Let’s not forget Making You Mine.
First of all, let me just say I was a mess when writing this one. This was the last in the series, and I was so sad. I think Grace and Sal’s love story was one of the sweetest of the series. He was so gentle and understanding after he got over the fact that Alex had hired her behind his back.

There are many quotes/scenes that come to mind, but here are two of my favorites. First, when Grace informs Sal that her mother has once again set her up with her stepdad’s boss. She’d asked what she was supposed to do since the guy was already waiting for her outside the restaurant with a bouquet of flowers.

Sal’s head jerked toward the front of the restaurant as soon as she said that. “You tell him you don’t want to go. That’s what.” He started walking. “I’ll fucking tell him.”
Grace squeezed his arm. “No, Sal. Please.”
Sal stopped and glared at her. “Do you want to go with this guy, Grace?” His loud words turned the heads of the few employees that were still there cleaning up, and they glanced out the front to see who Sal was talking about.
“No, of course not.”
“Then don’t go.”
“I won’t.” Her heart was going a mile a minute now. She never expected his reaction to be so explosive. “But let me tell him.”
Sal pulled the keys out of his pocket. “Let’s go.”
This was especially satisfying since, up until then, Sal had been so adamant that he was not like his hotheaded brothers. In fact, in a much earlier scene, before Sal even admitted he had a thing for Grace, Alex teasingly asked him if he was jealous. Sal’s annoyed response? “I’m not you, you idiot!” LOL Seeing this side of him finally emerge was fun. =D

As I mentioned before, I was a mess during the writing of Making You Mine, but the epilogue was where I shed the most tears. I just went back to retrieve this quote/scene and I’m freaking crying again!

“Since this is our first night doing our new family tradition, I propose a toast.” Sal lifted his beer. “To family.”
“May it only get bigger,” Alex added.
“And may we always stay this close,” Sofia said.
“Love you, guys.” Angel lifted his beer.
“Salud!” Romero said.
“To family,” they all said before finally taking a drink.
I really do love all you guys! And I miss you so much. I’m sorry to say I will be putting you through some more drama very soon! Stay tuned everyone. It’s coming! 😉

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.
