ALL HE NEEDS by C.C. Gibbs (December 17, 2013; Forever Trade Paperback; $12.00)

Synopsis:

Brilliant. Wealthy. Powerful. Dominic Knight is one of the hottest tech developers in the world–and the most demanding lover Kate Hart has ever known. Whether in the boardroom or the bedroom, he is always in charge. But there is one thing he cannot control: Kate’s fiery heart…

As a master in her field, talented Kate surpassed Dominic’s wildest expectations. As a woman of uncommon intelligence and beauty, she unlocked something deep within him. Yet since their professional relationship–and erotically charged affair–came to an end, the fire in him has only grown stronger.

Now, the man who has everything will do whatever it takes to reclaim the woman he lost. From Boston and Paris to Singapore and San Francisco, he will lure Kate back into his elite world of privilege and passion. Together, they will test the limits of desire and the boundaries of discipline. For both, this is uncharted territory–naked, reckless, and uninhibited. But when Dominic’s deadliest enemies target Kate, he must face his darkest fears…and admit to himself that she is all he needs.

C.C. Gibbs’ Original Scene

Nicole was lost in the miles of burled tulipwood, polished brass and plush carpeted corridors of the mega-yacht.
Damn. Probably one drink too many. But the wait staff kept passing around trays of wine and cocktails, the Monaco sun was hot and Fiona, who’d brought her along today, kept saying, “It’s a party. What are you waiting for?”
So here she was in another posh corridor, looking for a bathroom and seeing nothing but closed doors.
What now? Just open doors until she got lucky–right?
Ooops.
Skidding to a stop at the sight of the couple on the sofa, she met the narrowed, amber-eyed gaze of her host.
“Sorry–I was…looking–for the loo,” Nicole stammered, feeling as though she was being stripped naked under that cool male inspection, wishing she was wearing something more substantial than a bikini. “I’m really sorry.” She began shutting the door.
“Wait.” He’d never seen such stunning, brilliant blue eyes—or body of such incredible grace. Dropping Silvie’s feathered toy behind the sofa, Rafe rolled off her and coming to his feet, zipped up his khaki shorts. “Use this one.” He motioned to a frosted glass door across the room.
Nicole hesitated. “You’re sure I’m not intruding?”
“Not at all.” Rafe grabbed his polo shirt. “Silvie was just leaving.”
“I was NOT!” The tawny-haired blonde punched Rafe’s leg.
His head and arms slid out of his white polo shirt, the fabric dropped over his ripped torso and Rafe murmured, “Emilio will be looking for you soon. That’s all I meant.” Then ignoring Silvie’s scowl, he reached down, pulled the black lace bikini top over her large breasts, slid the straps over her shoulders, stood and turned to Nicole. “Please, go on in. I’ll get us drinks. Any preferences?”
“I might have had enough.”
“You look fine.” Rafe’s golden gaze warmed. “Don’t worry about it.”
“Okay. Surprise me,” Nicole said, moving toward the bathroom.
There’s a plan. And he watched her with a breath-held wonder even he recognized as bizarre.
He didn’t remember her, Nicole thought. She and a group of undergrad chemistry majors had met him at a bio-tech conference in San Francisco two years ago. And Rafail Contini, head of R&D for his father’s pharma firm, was still gorgeous as ever: tall, super buff, starkly handsome, long, dark hair, with intense amber eyes. Magnetic, jungle cat eyes.
A shame Silvia Fermetti–trophy wife of the Italian ambassador to France, darling of all the gossip rags—wasn’t about to leave. As though to emphasize the point, when Nicole re-entered the stateroom, the voluptuous blonde seated beside Rafe at a small table gave her a if-looks-could-kill glare.
Immune to his partner’s displeasure, Rafe came to his feet. “See if you like this Novatini,” he said, handing her a martini glass. “Hendrick’s gin, white cranberry juice and half a lime, squeezed. You’re an American aren’t you?”
“Yes. San Francisco.”
“I know the city.” He pulled out a chair for her. “I spent a couple years at Stanford.”
Nicole glanced up as she sat. “Small world. I just graduated from Stanford.”
He grinned. “It must be karma.”
Conscious of Silvie’s murderous gaze, Nicole was noncommittal. “If you say so.”
“No doubt in my mind,” he said very softly, when he’d never actually believed in karma. Nor in the word, mesmerized, which described his reaction to this lithe lush beauty. Sitting down, he nodded. “You’ve been swimming.” Nicole’s long dark hair fell in damp ringlets. He smiled. “No one ever swims around here.”
“I do.”
“Often?”
“Every day.”
“Where are you staying?”
“God damn it, you shit! I’m right here!” Silvie spat. Grabbing her wine glass she was about to fling its contents at Rafe when the door abruptly opened.
“Ah, there you are, Silvie.” Emilio Fermetti, a tall, white-haired patrician stood on the threshold, his smile bland.
His wife set down her glass. “The sun was too hot on deck,” she said with a defiant little shrug.
“I agree. But we have to leave now, darling. Dinner with Shokov.” He turned to Rafe. “Thank you for your hospitality.”
“Anytime, Emilio. It’s always a pleasure.”
A small silence fell as the door closed on the Fermettis.
Nicole raised her brows slightly. “Girl friend?”
“Cute,” Rafe said. “No.”
“Ah.”
He didn’t respond to her insinuation, nor to her arched look. Instead, he slid down in his chair, lifted his gin and tonic to his mouth and surveyed her over the rim of his glass for a potent moment before he drained the drink. Fishing an ice cube out of the glass he held it up. “See this?” When she didn’t answer he said, “The length of time it takes for this to melt is about the extent of my interest in a woman.”
She grinned. “You really are an unmitigated shit.”
“You’re the exception to my rule,” he drawled, dropping the ice cube back in the glass. “Where are you staying?”
“At my uncle’s apartment.”
“Move in with me. I’ll kick out everyone else.”
“Everyone else?”
For some reason he didn’t mind her cheek. “Only friends. No women.” He smiled. “Until now. So how about it?”
“Just for the summer.”
Rafe grinned. “Sweet. Now don’t move.” He rose and strode toward the door. “I’m going to lock you in, then fuck you til morning.”
“And then?”
He turned and winked. “Then you can tell me your name.”

Synopsis

I have lied.

I have cheated.

I have given my body and my life to the man who destroyed my family and left me for dead.

I have killed, I have sinned, and worst of all, I have enjoyed the misery of others.

I have licked the salty tears of a father mourning his firstborn son, and nothing has ever tasted so sweet.

I have died, and I have been resurrected, a phoenix from the ashes.

I know I’m going to hell. I’ll burn in the fiery pits alongside Dornan and his sons for the things I’ve done, and for the things I’m about to do.

But I don’t care. It will be worth every lick of the devil’s flames on my guilty flesh to destroy Dornan Ross.

One down. Six to go.

Teaser

I swing my leg over the chair, straddling him. His eyes are glassy and threaten to spill over.

“Close your eyes,” I whisper, trailing hot, wet kisses down his neck. He is drunk, and obeys me, much to my disbelief.

I smirk as his action has the desired effect. By closing his eyes, two teardrops are squeezed from his eyes, falling onto his stubbled cheeks.
I lean down, touching my lips to his right cheek. My tastebuds spring to life, assuaged by the sudden taste of salt water.
The taste of victory.

He took my father, my life, and now I have taken his oldest son from him. The taste of his sorrow beckons me, and I repeat my actions on his left cheek, this time darting my tongue out to catch his despair and drink it up, every last drop.

I rock on his lap, his erection already growing just from me straddling him. With my black funeral dress hitched up around my thighs, there is only a thin scrap of black lace and Dornan’s black pants separating us. He opens his eyes, and I sense he is surprised at the tender way I am touching him. In a way, so am I. But his sorrow, his devastation… it’s better than if I had tied him up and made him bleed for me.

Bleeding tears instead of blood, but it is all the same in the end. I will take every tear he has, every son, and then I will start letting blood.

About the Book:

In BREATHE, business mogul Elijah Masterson travels to Mexico for his chain of resorts and purchases a glass sculpture for one of the properties. But the artist who created it is far more intriguing.

Headstrong artist Samantha Collins has hidden her true desire to submit, to the right man of course. Samantha sees everything she wants in Elijah, but apart from one steamy night, he‘s determined to keep his distance. She’s normally held back, but is now refusing to let go now since she’s found the type of dominant man she’s always wanted. Samantha makes Elijah an offer that he won’t (and can’t) refuse—a month of absolute submission.

But after their time of incredible passion…will either be able to walk away?

RELEASE DAY BLITZ ~ ROCK BOTTOM (BOOK 2 TRISTAN & DANIKA) by R.K. LILLEY

November 25, 2013

Title: Rock Bottom
Author: R.K. Lilley
Published: Nov. 25, 2013
Add to Goodreads
Hosted by: The Book Avenue

ROCK BOTTOM SYNOPSIS
BOOK TWO: TRISTAN & DANIKA

Their love had the power of a runaway freight train, and the potential to be just as destructive.
The tempestuous sequel to Bad Things picks up where the first book left off. Reeling from a profound loss, Tristan and Danika struggle to pick up the pieces and build a life together, but the hard habits of a lifetime are not so easy to escape.
Rock Bottom takes us on a dual point of view journey through addiction and desire, through love and agony, and answers the question we’ve been asking since these characters were introduced in Grounded: “What happened between Tristan and Danika?”

DANIKA
Even love couldn’t cushion a fall like ours. My love for Tristan was so big that I felt consumed by it, and even so, it was not enough to overpower our combined demons.
I struggled. I yelled and screamed. I scratched and kicked.
I fought like hell, but even the most determined fighters have to stop before they break.
No one could say I didn’t fight for him.
“I love you,” I spoke softly into his ear.
He gripped me harder. “I can’t ever lose you, Danika. I’m not sure I’d survive it.”
“You’ve got me. And I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”
I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for us.
I’d have given my life for that fight. In fact, I very nearly did.

TRISTAN
She was the one.
If I’d ever had a doubt, I didn’t now. She was the one I’d be thinking about, longing for, until I took my last breath. If I lost her tomorrow, I’d pine for her like a lovesick fool.
This was the kind of love that only hit you once in your life.

This book is intended for readers 18 and up.

“Please,” I cried, quickening my pace.

He worked me faster, and I froze and shook like I had a fever, letting the waves of rapture take me. I felt him jerking inside of me as I cam back down from the addictive high, his face arrested in his own gratifying release. I love to watch him come, and I held as I could, impaled on him, until his eyes opened, and he blinked up at me.

I folded down to lay against him, burying my face in the side of his neck, breathing him in.

He always smelled divine. Like home.

“I love you,” he rasped out. He said it all the time. He didn’t hold it back, now that he’d admitted it, but it still gave me butterflies, every single time.

“I love you,” I spoke softly to his ear.

He gripped me harder. I can’t ever lose you, Danika. I’m not sure I’d survive it.”

“You’ve got me. And I’m not going anywhere. Not ever.”

I meant the words when I said them, but life had other plans for me.

I was by nature, a fighter, and no one could say I didn’t fight for us.

I’d have given my life for that fight.

In fact, I very nearly did.

R.K. Lilley lives in Colorado with her husband and their two beautiful sons. She’s had a lot of interesting jobs, from being a first class flight attendant, to being a stablehand, but swears she never knew what hard work was until she had children. She’s been addicted to both reading and writing fiction since she can remember. She loves to travel, read, hike, paint, game, watch anime, and make the most of every single day. She is the author of the erotic romance novels In Flight, Mile High, Grounded, and the novella, Lana.

Blog Tour, Review and Giveaway ~ Saving Alexander by Susan Mac Nicol

Blog Tour
Saving Alexander

Susan Mac Nicol
 
 
 

 

 
Synopsis
 

Punishing
himself for a horrific past that is not his fault, bestselling author Alexander
Montgomery seeks redemption and love—and perhaps he will find it.

Famous author
though he may be, Alexander Montgomery is not someone you take home to meet
Mother. Seriously flawed, damaged by a horrific past, he’s trying hard to claw
his way back to normality. But how can anyone respect what he truly is? His
therapy involves regular sessions at Study in Scarlet, an exclusive S&M
club.

Then comes Sage.
Tall, with black hair and blue eyes, an up-and-coming actor with impossible
charm and boy-next-door good looks, he’s the perfect choice to play the leading
man in a TV adaptation of Alex’s last best-seller. Even more, he is a man you introduce
to your family. Which Alex would do—if he weren’t taken by another man who
offers the punishments Alex prays will wipe away the past and make him the
person he wants to be. Yet, perhaps there is another path to redemption. If
only the solution would reach out and touch him.

Ellen’s Review:

Saving Alexander is a very sexy, very raw, and very emotional m/m love story with a thriller thrown in for good measure. As a fan of the m/m genre, I found the story to be very gripping and very satisfying in terms of the heat factor. I read a fair amount of m/m books and I generally find female authors to be a bit less gritty, but I will say the sex scenes in Saving Alexander did not disappoint! The heartbreaking description of Alex’s background, from which he tries to find some sort of healing through BDSM sessions, is balanced out nicely by the loving relationship he finds with Sage. There is a suspenseful storyline here along with the very erotic romance between Sage and Alex. The only minor drawback for me was that these two talked A LOT about their relationship and their feelings. But overall I really liked this book and found it to be incredibly well written and enjoyable! Definitely a must-read for any fan of m/m books.

Bundle – Erotic

One Hot Winter’s Night by Serenity Woods:

One Hot

Indiana Jones meets Lara Croft in a hot, desperate treasure hunt that spans the globe and captures the imagination.

Dr. Cat Livingstone works for the British Museum, and she’s frustrated as hell when the mysterious man she knows only as the Silver Fox snatches yet another artefact from under her nose. Determined to steal the priceless necklace back, she tracks him to the Swedish Ice Hotel, but she doesn’t bank on him being the most gorgeous guy she’s ever laid eyes on.

Heath has no idea that the hot blonde in the ice cold hotel has ulterior motives. But when a night between the sheets ends with both Cat and the necklace gone in the morning, Heath jumps into action.

Unfortunately for Cat, Heath lives for the thrill of the chase. And the chase is on.

The Secret Diary of Lady Catherine Bexley by Viveka Portman:

Secret

In the vein of Portia Da Costa and Charlotte Featherstone, Regency England gets just a bit raunchy in this novella about a gently-raised lady who wants to feel like a woman…

“I have never seen fit in my life to divulge my secrets in a diary, yet now, after today’s proceedings, I do…”

Lady Catherine Bexley is new to marriage and the marriage bed, but surely there must be more to it than this? Her husband is proper and perfunctory — treating her with careful respect but leaving her aching for more.

When she witnesses a gentleman disciplining a maid at a house party, the ache explodes into ravenous desire. She finds herself no longer willing to wait for her husband’s stiff and passionless attentions — and soon develops a naughty plan to finally get what she wants.

The Wicked Confessions of Lady Cecelia Stanton (coming Dec 2013) by Viveka Portman:

Wicked

When faced with a rakish, lusty husband, what is a proper English wife to do but educate herself in the art of bedplay?

“Marriages are strange things, none stranger perhaps than this betwixt me and my lord husband.”

Lady Cecelia is married to the dashing and philandering Lord William Stanton, a situation that would distress even the most composed and refined gently-born lady. However, Cecelia has a secret balm to her dissatisfaction: her maid, Bess Miller.

Cecelia’s inexperience and William’s insatiable appetites fuel her desire to learn, and Bess is a willing teacher. Then, when Cecelia blossoms into pregnancy and can no longer accommodate William’s needs, he distances himself, and Bess becomes her only solace and comfort — and the channel for her most intimate desires. As Cecelia struggles to understand her own feelings, gossip begins to spread. William starts asking questions, and wicked confessions must be made…

Ravenous by Eden Summers:

Ravenous

She’s a small town caterer, he’s a big city chef, but they don’t need a kitchen to make things sizzle…
Erin McDonald likes her simple life in her small town: no drama, no fuss, no uncertainty…until Jesse Hackett breezes back into town. Erin never quite got over how he left for the bright lights of the big city, and took her heart with him.

Jesse never regretted his decision to leave small town life behind and chase his big city dreams, but he’s always regretted leaving Erin behind. No woman has ever compared, and once he convinces Erin to let him touch her again, he’s never going to let her go.

Sparks fly and fires are rekindled, but the basic divide still remains: what really matters in life — location or love?

Impossible Desires by Tamsin Baker:

Impossible

A widow who likes to control. An earl with no time for innocence. A relationship bound by dark needs and subversive desires set in the glittering world of Regency England.

Lord Gareth Osborne is a wealthy earl in need of a wife, but the insipid debutantes he encounters do not fulfil the darkest fantasies of his soul. He fears that it will be impossible to find a woman who will satisfy his needs and make a suitable companion, until he meets the sensual, self-assured Eleanor.

Lady Eleanor Rossette is newly widowed, though not unhappily so. Her marriage put her into the hands of an abusive, controlling man, and Eleanor knows she will never surrender her control again. She yearns for a strong, passionate man who will yield to her in the bedroom, and she wants that man to be Lord Osborne…

Excerpt:

“It was well worth the wait to see you like this,” he said.

Keeping my eyes fixed on him, I turned on my heels so he could see both sides, and completed the full twist. “You have excellent taste.”

He shook his head. “You’d look good in anything.”

I could tell by the way he gripped the molding of the door that he was having a hard time keeping his hands off me. As much as I needed them on my body, the feeling of want that consumed me felt so good that I could tolerate it for a little longer.

“Sometimes I look at you and I’m amazed that you’re mine.”

I knew the words had come from his mouth, but it felt as if I had spoken them. It was exactly what I’d been thinking; that, after everything we had experienced together, everything he knew about me, he still treated me the way he did. He still wanted me as much as he had before he knew the truth. He showed me continuously that he wanted me even more. And I felt the same. Cameron made me insatiable; as much as he gave me, I wanted to be even closer than we were. I wanted his breath to come from my mouth every time I exhaled.

He didn’t take a step forward. He just reached out his hand and felt along the shrug, following the fabric until he arrived at the knot between my breasts. He untied both sides and pulled it off my shoulders. His fingers then circled around me, and without warning he yanked me toward him. My palms settled on his chest, my mouth moving closer to his as he had bent his neck to reach me. Our lips didn’t touch; they hovered, each waiting for the other to close the gap.

We simmered in the temptation.

He was the first one to move. His mouth finally crushed against mine, his tongue dipping inside with each kiss. After several, he pulled away. We were both left breathless, our chests rising and falling as we tried to calm ourselves.

“Walk to the bed,” he ordered.
