TEASER FROM MINE (Real #2) by KATY EVANS!!

We count Katy Evans among our very favorite authors (and people) and couldn’t be happier for the success of the REAL series and REMINGTON “RIPTIDE” TATE! And we are thrilled to share a HOT teaser from MINE (REAL #2), releasing on November 5th!! Enjoy!!

 

Cover

In REAL, bad-boy underground fighter Remy “Riptide” Tate hires the beautiful, intelligent Brooke Dumas to be his beautiful young sports rehab specialist, sparking an attraction that both find impossible to resist.

The events of MINE are set several months after REAL. Just when Remy needs Brooke the most, she makes a startling discovery that forces her away from the ringside. Now with distance and darkness between them, the only thing left is for Brooke to fight for the love of the one she needs most.

He’s mine, and I’m his. Our love is all-consuming, powerful,
imperfect, and real…

 

EXCERPT FROM MINE:

When he finally fills the threshold with those magnificently broad shoulders and that beautiful eight-pack, rivulets of water still slide from his hair, down his throat, to his chest and down to the towel draped around those narrow hips. My breath goes. I can see he’s run a towel over his head and his dark hair is standing up and spiked, those blue eyes shining greedily as he makes sure I’m on the bed as he left me. Suddenly all the love and painful jealousy I feel rushes through my bloodstream like lightning.

He steps in without removing his gaze from me, and I pull open my towel to watch his face harden and his eyes flash as he takes me in, completely naked.

He reaches for his towel and strips it away, and my airway constricts when I see his large erection bobbing heavily as he comes to bed and uses another towel to gently dry my wet hair.

“I’m rubbing you down with oils first,” I warn in a breathless whisper as he finishes.

Smiling devilishly, he tosses the towel aside, grabs the arnica oil I was reaching for, and tosses it onto the carpet to join it, then he brushes my wet hair back, his eyes weighted as he cups the back of my head and lowers his head to mine. “Rub my tongue with yours.”

He parts his mouth on mine, and our breaths mingle, and a delicious shiver runs through me as his lips pull me apart and our tongues flick out.

“Your lip,” I breathe, so he’s careful.

He playfully nips me and brushes my tongue with his again, rubbing a little harder and driving me insane. “Your lip,” I moan, squirming needily beneath him.

He draws back. Then, torturously slow, he caresses the backs of my legs, awakening a thousand and one tingles.

“Remington, your lip . . .” I protest when I see the cut bleeding again, and I reach out to catch a drop of blood with my finger.

“Shh . . .” His tongue flashes out, and he licks and sucks my finger, then he lets go and watches me with those violently tender blue eyes as he trails his fingers up the backs of my legs to stroke my buttocks.

My breasts rise and fall as he runs his fingers up my legs, then he possessively cups my ass. “Are you turned on by this?” he asks.

“Yes.”

He slides his hands to the backs of my knees, down my calves, then slowly back up until I’m dissolving into my bones and dying.

“How turned on are you?” he asks softly, settling a kiss on my stomach.

“I have to put something on that lip again,” I breathe. A thousand flames lick my body as I sit up and reach with trembling hands for my salve and manage to press some to his cut.

He presses a kiss to my fingertip, and I close my eyes as a bolt of pleasure arrows through me. “Remy . . .” I say, melting.

“Lie back down,” he tells me. Dizzy with anticipation, I do as I’m told.

“Don’t kiss me, Remington,” I warn.

He whispers roughly, “Fix me up later.”

A shudder courses through me as he caresses my sex, briefly opening my lips with his thumb while, at the same time, he ducks to slide his tongue across the tip of one nipple.

I buck a little, mewing, and he laughs softly as he licks my other nipple, tonguing it, playing with it, before covering it with his hot, wet mouth and sucking.

He runs his hands up my body, growling, “God, Brooke. You knot me up and tear me open. You’re getting me in you now.”

Synopsis:

Dylan had received a peculiar phone call from the governor, leaving me stranded and alone in his magnificent penthouse. The events of the evening draining me free of any energy I had left. I wanted to ask where he was going, but I had a gut feeling I knew the answer to that question. It was his job to clean up a scene before anyone found out the gruesome details of a crime. Then again, I found myself curious, wondering if Dylan himself had manufactured the hit on Amber Martinelli to frame Stefan.
I stepped out onto the terrace overlooking the city. The lights were bright, twinkling as the roar of late night traffic lingered in the air. A cold front was moving in and a slight chill moved through me. Knowing how Dylan felt about me, I knew he would do anything to keep me safe. Committing murder wasn’t beneath him and it was dangerous for me to think that he could be involved in Amber’s.

Excerpt:

I joined Dylan on the bed, straddling him kissing his chest, licking his nipples.  I kissed my way up, whispering “trust” in his ear, then back down his neck to his lips.  He welcomed me in his mouth, my tongue leading, deepening the kiss.  He groaned as I pinched and twisted his nipple between my fingers.  “Fuck,” he groaned into my mouth.  “Not yet baby,” I replied, but soon.

Title: Double Full (Book 1 – Good Guys Series)
Author: Kindle Alexander
RELEASE DATE: October 8, 2013
Add to Goodreads
Tour hosted by Twinsie Talk Tours

Synopsis:
Up and coming football hero, Colton Michaels, makes a Hail Mary pass one night in the college locker room that results in the hottest, sexiest five days of his young life. However, interference after the play has him hiding his past and burying his future in the bottom of a bottle. While Colt seems to have it all, looks can be deceiving, especially when you’re trapped so far in a closet that you can’t see your way out. When ten years of living his expected fast-lane lifestyle lands him engaged to his manipulative Russian supermodel girlfriend, he decides it’s time to call a new play.

Jace Montgomery single-handily built the largest all-star cheerleading gym in the world, driven by a need to forget a life-altering encounter with a handsome quarterback a decade ago. His reputation as an excellent coach, hard-nosed business man, and savvy entrepreneur earned him respect in the sometimes catty world of competitive cheerleading. When Jace learns of his ex-lover’s plans to marry, his heart executes a barrel roll and his carefully-placed resolve tumbles down without a mat to absorb the shock. Can his island escape help him to finally let go of the past and move his life forward?

MY REVIEW

LOVE LOVE LOVED it!!

Jace and Colt (love the name) have been admiring each other from afar for years. Jace is openly gay but Colt is closeted. This book literally hits the ground running, and doesn’t let up until the end. I was hooked right away and loved every minute of this very beautiful, sexy and dramatic story. And let me tell you, this story is HOT!!

When Colt and Jace first get together, there are almost fireworks exploding!

“Let me tell you what I am sure of, what I want. I want you to fuck me tonight. I want you inside me. It’s my first time, but I know I liked your finger in my ass when we made out in the locker room. How do you feel about that?”

I loved Jace, he is kind and loving and only wants the best for Colt. He could have pushed Colt to come out of the closet but he didn’t. He is loving and protective, even though he gets hurt by Colt’s actions. These characters tragically spend years apart, and during that time, I also felt huge sympathy for Colt. Living his life as a lie brings him nothing but pain and heartache. But he courageously makes a lot of changes and as part of that, he goes after the love of his life, Jace.

“No, I just need a minute, that’s all. I’ve thought about this night for a long time. I want this, and I want it with you.” Colt kissed Jace’s lips, a smile spread across his face. “I plan on doing this often. Just be gentle with me, or not. Whatever.” And with that, Colt gave a devilish smirk, winked, and turned on his heel, not bothering to look back as he stepped inside the bathroom.

I loved the beautiful love story between Jace and Colt. It gets a but melodramatic at times but the love scenes are fantastic and I loved the whole storyline about being openly gay in the world of professional sports. I love a sexy M/M story with two male leads who are devoted to each other. Beware, this book is also filled with some pretty hateful characters! There are also some great supporting players. In particular, I am hopeful that Mitch will get his own story! This is my first book by Kindle Alexander and I can’t wait to read more from her.

(ARC provided by the author in exchange for an honest review.)

Favorite Quotes:

“You’re so freaking hot, Michaels. As much as I love watching you suck my thumb, I have bigger plans for you. I wanna show you how good this can be. I need to be buried balls deep inside you, and I will be, but I want you good and relaxed before we start.”

“I’m not gonna say it now, but I hope you see where I’m going with this. I want the promise of someday from you. That’s all I’m asking, Jace.”

“I love you, Jace. I always have, and through all my mistakes, I wanted you to know I’ve never said that to anyone else. Only you.”

“You’re so beautiful, Jace. I need to memorize everything about you so I can remember this moment while I’m on the road with the team and can’t get home to see you.”

About The Author:

Best Selling, and newly award winning (whooo hooo!) Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica. It’s always a surprise to see what’s coming next! Happily married with too many children, and dogs, living in the suburbs of Dallas.
Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life – I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations – regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal… I don’t want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I’m going to tell you about Kindle.
I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I’ll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died – weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn’t have to be alone.
That time in my life was terrible. It’s everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.
Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness – it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. it never happened.
Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to meet my writing partner. I would have never gotten through those dark days without her unwavering support and guidance. There wasn’t a time she wasn’t there for me. For the first time I used the hand offered. I know without question I wouldn’t be here today without her. It takes a special person to come stand beside someone at a time like that. I will love her forever. I could go on and on about both of them, but I won’t and now you know a little more About Me.

Until Amazon removes the filter and the books are fully back in the system, we can’t schedule a release date for AWAKEN. As soon as the filter is removed, I’ll make the announcement!

BLOG TOUR, REVIEW and GIVEAWAY: CAGE (CORPS SECURITY #2) by HARPER SLOAN

 

 
 
We are thrilled to welcome Harper Sloan and CAGE (CORPS SECURITY #2) which released on September 8, 2013. Check out the sexy teasers and Rafflecopter giveaway!  
Synopsis:
“Alpha heroes you’ll want to kidnap
and keep, heroines to root for, and sizzling love scenes with emotional
punch.” Carly Phillips, NY Times Bestselling Author
Greg Cage was born to protect. While
growing up, he was his mother and sister’s shield against the world… until he
failed. For the last decade, he has carried that guilt and need for vengeance
around… until it was stripped from him. Now, with his best friend getting
married and no longer needing his protection, he is even more lost, completely
adrift, and desperate for some control. All he has ever known was how to
protect: his family, his friends, and his country. Can he go against everything
he has ever known, and give up that control?
Melissa Larson will never let anyone hold
the reins in her life. She has been the rock in her family for more years than
she can remember, and the fight to keep them together is her main priority
right now. She has always been fiercely independent and proud. The last thing
she will ever do is ask for someone else’s help. But when that choice is out of
her control, forcing her to rely on others to save her and her family, and pick
up the pieces that are left, will she be able to let someone else be her
strength?
The second Greg locks eyes with Meli, he
knows that she is someone he needs. Someone he craves. Meli knew the second she
met Greg that he would be nothing but trouble and heartache. Her life takes an
unexpected turn, and that bitch Fate is back to wreak more havoc on another
member of the Corps family.
All hell breaks loose, leaving Greg no
choice but to call in a favor. He hooks back up with his old friend Braxxon
Breaker from the Breakneck MC. Together, they make sure that nothing threatens
anyone Greg loves again.
CAGE is a complete story with a HEA.
MY REVIEW:

Cage is a quick, sexy, hot, fast-paced, you-can’t-put-it-down book in the Corps Security series. I absolutely loved this book and feel the author has really improved her writing style since the first book.

Let’s start with Greg Cage. Lord this man is HOT. He is super-protective, loyal and knows pretty much right away that Melissa is very different from any of the women he has been involved with (and there are plenty!) He is used to being pursued, not being the pursuer.

“My body wants her; that is no secret, but level of want is borderline craving. I need her. Needing someone is not something I am used to. No, I am used to being needed…something this woman clearly doesn’t want.”

Cage and Melissa connect on a deeper level than just the hot sex but Melissa is a tough character. She is used to being the strong one in her family, and they rely on for everything. She is very wary of men and relationships. Will she let her guard down and let Cage in? I wanted her to open her heart to Cage and trust him completely from the very beginning, but she is too wary.

“No, even with the perfect sex, I have learned enough from my sister to know it isn’t wise to let a man have your heart. When that happens, it is only a matter of time before you lose yourself.”

There are a lot of twists to the story and one very large secret that threatens to tear Cage and Melissa apart. These two are so amazing together, that I was on the edge of my seat until the very end. Cage knows Melissa is his “missing piece”, and I absolutely loved the way the author concludes this story. I hope we get more of these two characters in future books.

I also loved the cast of supporting characters in this series, and cannot wait for Beck and Dee’s story. Corps Security is a favorite series! Love all these guys, and can’t wait to read more.

Interview with Lauren Dane

Drawn Together

We are pleased to welcome New York Times bestselling author Lauren Dane. Her latest book DRAWN TOGETHER was recently released, and is the much anticipated story of Raven Smith in the Brown Family series.

Jaded tattoo artist Raven has built a nearly impenetrable wall around her heart, but finally meets her match in smooth-talking and highly successful attorney Jonah Warner. He gets under her skin in a way she never expected and he makes her want to try things she never would have tried before—including love and commitment.

Add to Goodreads

Synopsis:

Beauty is more than skin-deep…

Tattoo artist Raven Smith is blunt and hard, broken and jaded, dark and beautiful. While she doesn’t hide her painful past, she does keep a wall around her heart. She’s free sexually—but no one gets to the real Raven beneath the prickly exterior.

With a voice like smoke, Jonah Warner is a smooth-talking, highly successful attorney, with a body that should never be hidden by a suit. He’s the kind of man who never takes no for an answer and always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Raven. She’s a survivor, and he finds that incredibly alluring.

Jonah gets under her skin in a way Raven has never experienced. He makes her break all her rules—including her no-monogamy rule.

But when a figure from Raven’s past shows up at the tattoo parlor and drops a bomb into her life, their relationship will face the ultimate challenge…

Interview with Author Lauren Dane

So We are HUGE fans of the Brown Siblings Series! Will Drawn Together be the end of their story?

This part of the series is over. I’ve written books for everyone and I don’t want to drag it out and have readers thinking, “She should have ended this three books ago.” But there’s a whole new generation of Brown/Keenan/Copelands coming up as well as Jonah’s brothers so we haven’t seen the last of these characters.

We know that you began writing while on pregnancy bed rest, but how did you become interested in becoming a writer?

I wrote even when I was very young. I used to write poetry and short stories. I worked on the literary magazine in high school and college but I never really thought I could be a writer as my profession. So I went to college and law school and yep, with a jillion dollars of student loan debt and a high risk pregnancy I thought, why not give it a try since I can’t do anything else right now anyway. It’s pretty awesome that things worked out, LOL.

Do you listen to music when you write?

Always. As I start a new book (and sometimes even before that) I begin to create a tracklist for that book to create a certain sort of atmosphere as I work. Music is a really important part of my creative process (and my life in general).

What is the last book you read?

Seanan McGuire’s Chimes At Midnight (love the October Daye books!)

You write across many different genres, paranormal, erotic romance, urban fantasy to name a few, but who is your favorite book character, and why?

That’s so tough! I think it’s a three way tie between Polly Chase, Nina Reyes-Warden and Rowan Summerwaite.

Each woman has such a strong sense of self and they’re all at different stages of their lives. Polly is the heart of her family. She would slay dragons for them, each and every one. But she’s got her own past and her own hurts she’s gone through. She’s one of those characters who gets on the page and writes herself.

Nina is also a character who has such a sense of herself and her direction. She’s fierce and smart and funny and she loves her family, even when they mess up. She’s not perfect. She makes mistakes but she does apologize when she faces it.

Similarly Rowan is a character who is driven by a sense of duty and honor. She’s sharper than the other two, she’s got more pain in her past, more hurts to heal from. But she’s not so hard she doesn’t let people in, it’s just a slower process. I love how confused she gets sometimes when people reach out and want to help her, I love that she accepts affection with a befuddled embarrassment, but at the same time she soaks it in.

You really connect with your readers through Facebook and Twitter, but what is something surprising that your readers might not know about you?

I’m actually sort of shy. People never believe this, but it’s true. I just have to work through it and once I know the situation a little it’s not quite as painful.

Thanks for chatting with us and thanks for the amazing books.

Synopsis

This is the last book in the series.

Take my hand, my love.
On sinews of air we tread
Aught but distance our guide
With no tempo to our gait
No endpoint drawn
Neither plot nor plan
By the thorns of a compass rose
We bound toward the horizon

About the Author

CD Reiss lives smack in the middle of Los Angeles with her children and husband. She likes to make pretty pictures and write dirty scenes. She eats dark chocolate and chili, together, sometimes with bacon, and doesn’t care what you think about that.

There are a million more things she could tell you about herself besides that, but they’re all too boring to mention in company.
