COVER REVEAL & GIVEAWAY: ABSOLUTION by L.P. LOVELL and STEVIE COLE

October 23, 2015

Title: Absolution
Authors: LP Lovell & Stevie J. Cole
Cover Design: SM Piper
 Release Date: January 11, 2016
Blurb

Evelyn

I pray to be forgiven for my sins, but the prayers of someone like me won’t dare breach the edge of heaven.

Sins. All sins are equal in the eyes of God, but I’m not God. Some sins are far more wretched than others. And those sinners should pay, Evelyn. One sinner made me his sin, and I can’t let men like him live. They must face their judgement, Evelyn. I want to kill them. Every. Last. One.

Ezra James is no different, and I wanted to kill him, I needed to kill him, I’m was going to kill him…And then I found myself fascinated by him, obsessed and possessed in the most reverent of ways. I became his sinner, and he became my sin, but the wages of sin is death, so I must kill him.

Ezra

The son of a whore, raised by gangsters, moulded into a key player in a corrupt world ruled by money and completely without morals.

This world can break a person. I’ve seen it time and time again. I never gave a shit, until the night I watched a man drop dead at the feet of a woman so broken she made even me feel whole. My little killer called to my depravity and everything in me demanded that I take her, possess her, own her.

Some monsters hide behind the faces of angels, where others stand in plain sight.

Damned. Broken. Irredeemable.

Through blood, absolution shall be found.

Cover Reveal + Giveaway: WRATH (WRONG #2) by LP LOVELL & STEVIE J. COLE

August 3, 2015

Title: Wrath
Series: Wrong #2
Authors: LP Lovell & Stevie J. Cole
Cover Design: SM Piper
 Release Date: August 25, 2015
Blurb

Tor

Jude Pearson could just as well kill me as kiss me most days. He was my captor, my living hell, and yet, he became my saviour, my heart. Stupid. He’s heartless, conditioned to feel nothing, and so I ran… straight into the clutches of his enemy. Joe Campbell wants Jude to suffer, and I just became a pawn in a very dangerous game.

Joe has broken me in every way, everything that I once was stripped away, and in it’s place is festering hatred and a rage so cold I feel nothing else. I have one purpose. Revenge.

Jude

Love makes you weak, it makes you irrational. She was collateral, completely innocent when she was unwillingly dragged into my corrupt world. With the damage I’d already caused her, I couldn’t let her love me, so I let her go, and now…he has her.

No matter where she is, she will always be mine. This man has taken every-fucking-thing from me, and he has the last thing that matters to me. I will kill him. Slowly. Joe Campbell better run because the devil is fucking coming for him.

Sometimes two wrongs can make a right.

Rage.

Hate.

Revenge.

Our Wrath binds us, but it may also break us.

COVER REVEAL & GIVEAWAY: SURRENDERED (SHE WHO DARES #3) by L.P. LOVELL

December 5, 2014

Title: Surrendered
Series: She Who Dares #3
Author: LP Lovell
Cover Design: SM Piper
 Release Date: December 29, 2014

Synopsis

I have spent my entire life fighting. Fighting for survival. Fighting my past. Fighting to keep anyone from getting to close. Until him. Theodore Ellis.

He’s my light in the darkness. The only person who makes me truly feel. My most unlikely of saviours. No matter how hard I try, I can’t seem to fight him.

No matter how many blows I rain down on him, he remains, loyal and unmoving. I love him. I need him.

Theo is my vulnerability, the chink in my armour, but he is also my strength. I can’t fight him anymore.

The past only holds as much power as you allow it to. It’s time to tell my story. It’s time to bare my soul, and let Theo in to my dark world. It’s time to take back my power.

Love is a war. She who dares wins.

I’m ready to risk it all. I’m ready to surrender.

RELEASE BLITZ and ARC REVIEW: CONQUERED (SHE WHO DARES #2) by L.P. LOVELL

September 27, 2014

Title: Conquered
Series: She Who Dares #2
Author: LP Lovell
 Release Date: September 27, 2014

Synopsis

Love is a war in which only the fearless may conquer. The loss of love is a test in survival.

Love. It’s such an understated word. It has the ability to grip you so hard you become completely consumed by it, and when it releases you, you find yourself on your knees. Lilly Parker has me on my knees and I cannot muster the will to stand.

Betrayal. It’s all the worse when it comes from those we love. The pain, that much more intense. The loss, that much more heart breaking. I took a chance on Theodore Ellis and I lost.

How hard is Theo willing to fight for the woman he loves? Can Lilly fight her demons, or will she push away the only man capable of facing them with her?

Conquered is the emotional, gritty second part of Lilly and Theo’s story.

Review

5 ✰✰✰✰✰!!

I was fortunate to have read an early copy of this book and it absolutely blew me away. Remember CONQUERED is not a standalone, and must be read after BESIEGED. It is an absolutely fantastic continuation of Theo and Lilly’s story, filled with unexpected twists and turns and lots of heart-stopping emotion. Do not miss this one!

First, let me say that I love the cover which I find to be incredibly sexy. I imagine this is Lilly Parker. The characters of Lilly and Theo first got under my skin when I read Besieged and I felt every roller coater of emotion with these two throughout Conquered. Lilly can be extremely frustrating at times, but she is one tough cookie and really sticks to her guns no matter what happens. There were certain moments where I thought she was almost being too stubborn, but that is part of her appeal and also part of the drama and angst of this story.

The author write a fantastic and gritty male POV, which I love. My heart broke for Theo during this book as it is so obvious that Lilly is his one true love, but will he really do whatever it takes to get her to realize this? She lives so much in her head that even her friends have a tough time getting her to listen to reason. But there are so many twists in this story, and Lilly is faced with so much, that it is understandable why she acts the way she does.

Once once again I loved the cast of supporting characters and found them all to be quite endearing and very funny and protective of Theo and Lilly. And Theo…what a man! Total yumminess. My review does not do this book justice. Conquered is filled with scorching hot sex scenes, real dialogue, imperfect characters and pure emotion. It does NOT conclude Lilly and Theo’s story and there is another book in this trilogy. I can’t wait for Book 3! I need more Theo NOW!

I love picking up a book and being totally surprised and enthralled by a new author. I could not put down Besieged once I started. It is uber-sexy, scorchingly hot, but with a fantastic story that kept my attention until the last page and left me dying for more from this author! Warning: the build up to these two having sex is just as hot as when they actually get together and this book requires a cold shower or two! My favorite kind of book!

Theo is a wealthy London businessman and Lilly works for his solicitor (lawyer in the U.S.). She’s smart, sarcastic, funny and drop-dead sexy. Alhtough this might sound a tad familiar, the author really does a great job with Lilly and Theo’s story as well as with making the city of London a character in the book. I absolutely loved the club scenes as well as the well-written supporting cast of family and friends.

Lilly and Theo have some F***-HOT scenes and they literally cannot keep their hands off each other. Theo is a confirmed bachelor, he has never even wanted to spend any time at all with a woman, let alone commit to anyone. Lilly only uses guys for sex, so they enter into a no-strings-attached sexual relationship. But Lilly makes Theo fight for her at first, she’s stubborn, feisty and also very funny.
She’s no pushover and is painfully aware of his player status.

Theo can’t resist Lilly and what I loved about him is that he is totally honest with her. When he begins to develop real feelings for her, he puts himself on the line and does not play games.

Never have I gone to such lengths over a woman. I’m having to convince her that she wants me for god’s sake. I close my eyes and I can hear her moaning as I taste that sweet pussy of hers. Her cries as she trembles against my tongue. Oh god. My cock stiffens immediately at the memory.

I realise that now I know what it is to have her…I can’t go back. I will fight for her, no matter what.

All in all, I highly recommend this fantastic, sexy debut by L.P. Lovell. It’s modern, totally hot and has characters that I really care about and who I really bonded with. I am completely confident the next book in this series from Ms. Lovell will be a 5-star read for me after the author irons out a few minor editing kinks. I absolutely cannot wait for the next book! I need it now. Grab Besieged, let it take you on a sexy trip to London, and enjoy!
