REVIEW, EXCLUSIVE EXCERPT and GIVEAWAY: GLORIA’S REVENGE by NELLE L’AMOUR

December 5, 2013

Gloria's Revenge Blog Tour Banner

Synopsis

Why hadn’t I resisted him? Because he was too strong, too determined, too beautiful. And because I was hopelessly, helplessly head over heels in love. He had made me fall apart and fall for him.

Brought to new heights of sensuality and passion, Gloria Long, the stunning, self-made CEO of Gloria’s Secret, the world’s largest retailer of lingerie, has succumbed to the seductive spell of sexy, dominating billionaire ad guru, Jaime Zander. But the man whose first name means “I love” in French is a player and may be incapable of love. And involved with someone else.

Back at her Los Angeles headquarters, Gloria faces unexpected deceit, intrigue, and danger and must make a heart-wrenching life-or-death decision that will cost her not only her empire but also the man she loves. Revenge is the only solution. But will she find the strength to confront the demon from her past who harbors the dark secret that can shatter her world?

This steamy and suspenseful conclusion to Gloria’s Secret is intended for mature readers 18+.

If you are looking for a delicious, sexy and fast-paced book, Gloria’s Revenge is for you! It is the continuation of the story from Gloria’s Secret and I recommend that your read Book 1 first. Gloria’s Secret is also a sexy and glamorous peek into the world of high-fashion lingerie and the hot relationship between CEO Gloria Long (YES, a female executive!) and the very handsome ad exec Jaime Zander.

This book will take you on travels around the world and I absolutely loved the bit of escapism that Nelle L’Amour offers with these books. From Paris to Beverly Hills to Santa Monica, California (some of my favorite places!), sit back and enjoy the romantic and very, very spicy tale of Gloria and Jaime as she learns to trust her heart and overcome her very dangerous past. The steam factor in this book is very high and the sex scenes do not disappoint! Will Gloria find her happy ending with Jaime? Will she be able to escape the dangerous elements that seek to destroy her? No spoilers here, but the author offers up a very satisfying conclusion and epilogue in Gloria’s Revenge. Enjoy!

“Is that what I think it is on your desk?”
Though slightly embarrassed, I nodded with pride. “My Secret Vibrator. It’s the prototype for our new product line.”
“So you’re doing a line of sex toys. That’s brilliant, Gloria.”
Lifting me off his lap onto the petite couch, he strode over to my desk and then returned with the sex toy in his hand. He loomed in front of me. I was melting under the gaze of this sexy beast.
He studied the vibrator, gliding his other hand up and down it. “It’s an erotic work of art.”
“Thanks. We put a lot of research into the design. We wanted it to be curvy and seductive with a bit of whim like the rest of our brand.” I admired the hot pink vibrator with its sleek white handle and signature pink heart switch.
“Have you tested it yet?”
“We’re doing some focus groups later this month.”
A diabolical smirk whipped across his face. “Gloria, I meant have you tested it?”
A sudden pool of wetness gathered between my thighs, and my insides jolted. I was too taken back by his question to say a word. I nervously shook my head, getting a sense as to where this meeting was going.
His eyes bore into me, heating me further. “I agree that consumer research is very important, but I think you need to test it first so you can better evaluate your focus group results.”
I stiffened. “Are you asking me to play with this vibrator?”
“No, Gloria, I’m ordering you. Lift up your skirt.”
“I don’t have time for this.”
“Yes, you do. It’s important. And you know it.”
With quivering fingers, I did as he asked, scrunching the tight pencil skirt up as far as it would go. To my surprise, it went all the way to my hips.
He flicked the switch on. The buzzing rang in my ears. “Hold this.” He thrust the buzzing toy into my hand, and in one smooth move, yanked down my garter, panties, and stockings to my ankles. Pulling off my heels, he tore all the garments off me and tossed them to the floor. “Now, bend your knees and spread your legs.”
I did as I was told. My heart was hammering.
“Perfect, Gloria. I have a beautiful view of that glorious pussy of yours.”
My core muscles twitched and my breathing hitched.
“Now, we’re going to do some one-on-one research. It’s just like a focus group… only more intimate. Just you and me. I’m going to ask you some questions, and you’ll do your best to respond to them honestly. Are you ready?”
“Yes,” I said breathlessly. I hadn’t even put the toy to my glistening folds, and my nerve endings were already sparking with tingles.
“Good. Now put the vibrator to your pussy and just experiment with it.”
Hesitantly, I put the vibrator to my sex. I gasped. It was like nothing I’d ever felt before– the buzzing sensation so different from Jaime’s nimble fingers. I bravely ran the head up and down my slick folds and then lingered on my clit, circling the warm tip around the hypersensitive button. A gasp escaped my throat as my stimulated clit lit up. It felt amazing!
“Do you like the way it feels, Gloria?”
“Yes!”
“Can you describe the sensations?”
Oh, God. How could I put what I was feeling into words? It reminded me a little of being on the back of Kevin’s second-hand Honda scooter, our means of transportation when we first came to LA. “They’re like relentless buzzing tickles,” I spluttered as the toy zapped my clit, making it pulse with pleasure. “The kind that you crave and can’t stand at the same time.”
He fired another question at me. “How does it make you feel?”
This time, my loud moans were my answer. The tremors intensified to the point of unbearable. My pulse raced. Was this beautiful torture or tortuous pleasure? Semantics. I couldn’t sit still. Writhing, I squeezed my eyes shut.
BUZZZZZ! Oh my God. As the insane, intense pressure built, I didn’t know what I’d do first–faint or come.
“Gloria, be more specific. Does it make you want to fall apart?”
“Yes!” I panted. I didn’t know much longer I could hold on before passing out.
“Are you on the verge of an orgasm?”
“YES!”
“What does it feel like?”
Duh! “Like I’m going to come!” All hell broke loose between my legs. I shrieked with relief as my desperate release took hold of me. The flutters between my legs spiraled upward like a buzzing swarm of bees. I had buzzed my way to pure, utter ecstasy.
“How do you feel now, Gloria?”
“Fuck!” I muttered as the buzzing inside me persevered. No other words sprung to my parched mouth. I fluttered my eyes open. Still looming above me, Jaime Zander eyed me rapturously. He had taken off his linen drawstring pants. Between his mighty thighs, his divine cock jutted in its full erect glory. I salivated at the sight of it. My throbbing sex was wet with want.
A cocky grin flickered on his gorgeous face. “We’re not done with our little research session, Gloria. I want to know–did using the vibrator increase your libido?”
“Yes,” I said, my voice a raspy whisper. I was desperate for him, drenched with desire and despair.
“Do you want me to fuck you, Gloria?”
“Yes!” I begged. “Please!”
A satisfied smile spread across his face. His lustful eyes circled around my office. “Where would you like to be fucked–over your desk or we could do it right here?”
“Here!” I mouthed. I couldn’t wait. I so bloody needed him inside me.

Goodreads

Synopsis:

Gloria Long is the beautiful, self-made CEO of Gloria’s Secret, the world’s largest retailer of lingerie. While her global emporium is famed for selling erotic fantasies, Gloria’s emotional scars inhibit her own sexual desires. Her powerful defenses melt when she meets Jaime Zander, the devastatingly gorgeous advertising guru, who is determined to win not only her account but also her heart by awakening her sexuality.

A man who has never heard the word “no,” Jaime takes his creativity to the limit to make Gloria fall apart and fall for him. But as Gloria reaches new levels of sensuality, she discovers that Jaime is a player and wonders–is the man whose name means “I love” in French capable of love?

Other major obstacles stand in the way–Gloria’s Secret’s ruthless Chairman, who covets Gloria and is out to destroy Jaime, as well as his manipulative sexpot daughter, who wants both Gloria’s job and her hot, new love. Complicating matters further, Gloria harbors a dark, horrific secret, that when exposed, will shatter both her empire and her life. Will she be able to have it all or will the walls come tumbling down?

This approximately 225-page novel will be followed by the suspenseful and steamy sequel, Gloria’s Revenge, in September 2013.

Excerpt from Gloria’s Secret:

“You got a hot date tonight?” He brushed the tip of my braid under my chin, coaxing a response.
I squirmed. “I’m going to a Gloria’s Secret party at Touch.”
That cocky grin curled on his lips. “Then we’ll arrive together.”
I flinched. “What do you mean?”
“I’m on the A-List.”
I mentally grimaced. I bet Vivien had invited him. The little vixen wants to get into his pants. I was going to have to watch her like a hawk tonight. I took a deep calming breath and shot my companion a challenging look.
“Shouldn’t you be home or at your office working on the Gloria’s Secret pitch? You know, I expect to see it on Friday with my team. That’s less than forty-eight hours away.”
He let out a deep, sexy laugh. “Oh, I’ve nailed that already.”
“Really?” My voice registered genuine surprise.
“Yeah, you inspire me.”
“What else do I do to you?”
“You make me hard.”
His words made me jolt. I glanced down at his crotch and my eyes widened. Holy shit! He wasn’t kidding. There was a substantial bulge between his legs that was straining against his fly.
I was still in shock when he grabbed my right hand and placed it on the bump. A hot, rock-hard mound met my palm. Before I could move a finger, he cupped his warm hand over mine, pressing it against his arousal. My pulse was in overdrive, and I was bristling all over.
“Gloria, look at me.”
Hesitantly, I turned and looked his way. I met his penetrating gaze.
“I’m not a bullshitter. I want your account. What do I have to do to win it?”
“First, let go of my hand.” I spit out the words.
He slowly lifted his hand. My fingers flew off his cock.
He shot me a saucy smile. “What else?”
“Come up with something I love.”
“I’ve got something you’ll love, and it’s right here in this car.”
For a New York minute, I froze, positive he was going to zip down his fly. I didn’t know whether to sigh in relief or cry out in frustration when he swung open the door of a built-in cabinet and pulled out a bottle of champagne in an ice bucket along with two flutes. After uncorking the bubbly, he poured us each a glass and proposed a toast.
“To our relationship.” He clinked his glass against mine. Normally, I drank very little, but I was in mighty need of a drink. This man was getting under my skin. And I more than liked it.
