An unguarded moment, a simple mistake. 

Hale Watson is a flash of a second away from being locked up for good. With a rap sheet longer than the list of homes he comes from, Hale has one more shot at making things right. Graduate senior year. Don’t mess up. Don’t get caught. That’s the plan. Until he meets Maria. And everything changes.

Pretty Smart Girls: Lace Up Synopsis

Team Ryan Ryan Rose and her fellow Spartans are finalists in a high-profile entrepreneurial competition. They're competing for life-changing money and for their futures. They have a solid plan to win. All they need to do is trounce the competition: rich frat boys from an archrival university. Easy, right?


Team Jett Jett Trebuchet's first mistake was not realizing that Ryan and her friends were the competition. His second was expressing his unabashed confidence in his team’s ability to win. After all, everyone knows the only thing MSU does better than U of M is produce beautiful, easy women…oh, and he almost forgot to say “dumb.” And boy, does his team pay for that one.

Game On

As each side tries to game the other, something else seems to be getting in the way—attraction. Now Ryan and Jett must keep their teams from getting distracted by the opposite sex...and each other. All is not fair in love and war when it comes to winning this game.

Kim's Review
4.5 stars!!!


Ryan Rose and her friends from college are finalist in a life changing entrepreneurial competition against the arch-rival school.  Ryan knows that winning this competition will not only change her life but the ones of her teammates and best friends.  Meeting her competition on the way to New York left Ryan in the mood to show the boys just who their dealing with.
Jett Trebuchet’s has always known where he’d end up after graduating but to work for his father’s company he is required to work for a fortune 500 company first.  This competition will give him what he needs to work in the family business.  Jett and his teammate are shocked when they meet their competition.
Both Ryan and Jett feel the instant attraction but will it distraction from winning or will they be both lose more than just the competition?

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Ryan Rose is a highly motivated young woman who’s stubborn but strong and determine to win the entrepreneurial competition.  She wants to go to law school but doesn’t want her parents to have to go into debt to send her there.  Winning means her first year will be paid for but more importantly her friends and teammates could use their share of the winnings too.  When Jett and his teammate got into the limo she felt the attraction to Jett but knowing he was from the same fraternity as her ex has her on high alert.  Once she discovers they don’t recognize her and assume that the girls are escorts sent to take them to the airport, she pulls a fast one on them and leaves them at the work terminal.  She knows she should feel bad for tricking them but when they said that girls from their school were easy and dumb she lost any respect she may have had.

Jett Trebuchet is in the competition for one reason only, working for the family business which he is already doing.  His teammate and frat brothers all get something out of winning but it’s Jett who needs the twelve month employment contract with Trott Ventures.  Jett may come off as an arrogant jerk but he is a strong, level headed, down to earth Alpha male who knows what he wants.  When he is forced to work with Ryan on of the assignments, he learns more about her than he planned and the attraction between them grows.  He still doesn’t let his heart cloud his judgement, when they get some insider information on what the girls are planning for the one assignment, Jett and his teammates stop at the nothing to win.

This is the debut novel for Shae Ross and she is off to an amazing start.  I was hooked before the first chapter ended.  I wanted to see what the guys would do to get even with the girls and how the girls would handle things.  Both teams are full of strong, smart individuals but my favourites are Ryan and Jett.  I couldn’t put the book down as I wanted to know what the next competition was and who was going to win.  Jett did some unexpected things through the book but nothing pleased me more than the sacrifice he was going to make for Jade’s family.  Not only did he work something out to help them but Vaughn had stepped up to it melted my heart.

The chemistry between Ryan and Jett had me wanting more.  When these two were together, whether working on the project of the day or fighting over who was going first, they were like nothing I’ve read about in a while.  Jett has a romantic side to him and when he took Ryan on a real date treating her to more than he had with any other girl had me swooning over him.

A series of misunderstanding and distrust due to the competition has these two questioning their own feeling and if they were getting too involve and losing focus.  After setting each other straight they finally see what they have and both are ready and willing to forget who wins as long as they end up together.

If I could give this book 4.5/5 stars I would, but since they don’t have half it shows as only 4 but is better than just a 4.  This is one novel I highly recommend to anyone wanting a fun and dramatic romance story.  I will definitely be checking out what Shae Ross has out next!!!

Love, Lies & Deception by L. P. Dover



Love, Lies and Deception has a brand new sexy cover!




What do you do when the one person you thought you knew turns out to be the one you knew the least?

Twenty-three year old Marissa Chase, and soon to be college graduate, has everything going for her: wonderful friends, a lucrative degree, and a chance to explore the world. What made it even better – or so she thought – was when her path crossed with the alluring Alec Holden. Unable to stay away from him, Marissa experiences a love like no other, and falls into his world of passion and intrigue. However, things begin to shift when this path takes a deadly turn.

Her trust is put to the test when hidden dangers unfold before her, revealing secrets that have been buried for years. Secrets that were meant to stay hidden. Murder, lies, and betrayal … will Marissa figure it all out in time and escape with her life intact, or will she be too late and fall into the trap of deception?









EXCERPT

Bending low, he continued his torturous teasing by breathing across my neck. My eyes fluttered closed as his lips connected with the tender flesh at my collarbone. I shivered as the chill bumps fanned across my skin and made me weak. His voice in my ear immediately counteracted the chills. “If you want to call this dating, then I think that usually requires a little bit of touching, does it not?”
My breathing accelerated as Alec’s body grew flush with mine, leaning dangerously against me. He tilted my head back slightly so I had to look into his face. Slowly, I placed my hands on his hips, and instead of touching the waist of his jeans I was met with the bare skin of his body where his shirt had lifted up.
Holy shit, his skin felt hot! I could feel the ridges on his sides where they disappeared beneath his jeans, and I wanted nothing more than to trail my tongue down the contours of his muscles.
With hooded eyes, and a raspy, breathless voice, I replied, “I’m sure it’s customary to withstand some touching, but not too much since I don’t know you very well.” I said it, but my body didn’t really mean it, and he could tell I was lying to myself.
Slowly, he brought his hand to my face and trailed one of his long, lithe fingers over my cheek and down my neck. “Like this,” he insisted, swirling his finger around my neck. “Is this the kind of touching we’re allowed to do?” Chill bumps exploded across my skin, making me shiver.
“Yes,” I breathed, relishing in the feel of his touch. “Just like that.”
Closing my eyes, I sighed as he trailed his finger further down, stopping at my navel. The heat of his breath fanned across my face as I felt him dipping lower. I didn’t dare open my eyes and risk breaking the connection, but I wanted to see the heat in his gaze. Ever so slowly, his mouth connected with mine, soft and confident. He lingered for a moment, not moving, just his lips touched lightly to mine.


I wanted more … a lot more.

Side Lined by Emma Hart Cover Reveal




RELEASE DAY: MARCH 2, 2015



Three people. Three motives. Three reasons.
When the game leaves the field in the second book in the USA Today bestselling BY HIS GAME series and mixes with sex, lies, and betrayal, the future isn't the only thing on the line...

Macey Kelly has sworn off men. Unless they’re going to zip in and out of her apartment—and her vagina—quicker than they can give her an orgasm, she’s not interested. Finding out her boyfriend of three years got her cousin pregnant was a total confidence knock. Luckily for Macey, confidence is
something she has in abundance, so all Mitch’s asshole move did was make her pretty cynical toward men.

The last thing Jack Carr needs at the start of the season is for a dark-haired, sexy as sin, gyspyesque beauty to be consuming his thoughts. Football is his life, which leaves no time for girls. Unless they’re the love ‘em and leave ‘em girls. Becoming one of the best running backs the league has ever seen by racking up the yards is his top priority… not bedding Macey Kelly, despite her affinity for blow jobs and total sexual abandon.
Avoiding each other is the perfect solution, but when your best friends are in a serious living together kind of relationship, that isn’t always an option. Sometimes, sex on tap is the easiest option. And the sweetest.

Until Mitch shows up with a bombshell that could shatter Macey’s perfectly carved out life. It’s been a year, but he isn’t giving her up, not now he has a chance at winning her back. And he knows her buttons. Every single one of them.
Unfortunately for him, Jack Carr isn’t a loser. The star running back has his eye on the Vince Lombardi—and on Macey. But seeing her hanging between them both isn’t something he’s down with, not when he discovers why she’s so against anything more-ish, as she puts it.Macey quickly realizes she’s the ball being passed between two desperate yet opposing teams, and that only one of them can score the touchdown. But will the winner be the guy she lived with and loved for three years, or will the winner be the guy who understands her and makes her body come alive?
In this game, someone will be sidelined, and calling the play isn’t always as easy as it seems.


(SIDELINED is a full-length, standalone novel. It's not necessary to read BLINDSIDED before this book, but it is advised.)




EXCERPT


“Put the drink down, M,” he whispers. “It’s fucking with you.”

“Really? I thought that was you fucking with me,” I respond, turning to him and pressing a hand

against his chest. “What the hell are you doing here?”

Like, right here. Literally.

“It’s my best friend’s birthday.” He smirks. “Why’ve you been staring at me all night like you wanna

suck and bite my cock simultaneously?”

“I assure you it was the latter.”

“Sure it was.” Jack steps into me again, and I grab my glass with the hand closest to him so I don’t

grab his ass or something, ‘cause, shit. He’s got a sweet as hell ass.

“It was.” I drink. Again. Where the hell are my girls? “I feel like dancing.” I finish the glass and twist

my body away from his.

His hand finally falls from me as I stalk toward and down the stairs. I slip into the moving crowd, but

I’ve barely moved my hips when two large, strong hands clasp me and tug me backward. The wall of

muscle my back slams into is solid, and I exhale on a whoosh, even as I close my fingers against the

ones clasping my hips.

“Nice try, baby,” Jack says into my ear. “Run if you want. I’m a running back. I’ll chase you and catch

you every fuckin’ time.”

“Sounds like a promise you can’t keep, doll,” I reply, my breath catching when he moves my hips

against his.

“Sounds like a promise you’re afraid of.”

I laugh and shove his hands away from me. I turn to face him. Even in the darkness, his eyes blaze

bright green, so fucking bright they’re close to blinding me every time the strobe lighting coasts

across his face. And, shit, it does it so many times, and every time, it illuminates every line and curve

of his perfectly sculpted jaw.

“You wish, Jack Carr. You fucking wish.”

His hands snatch mine and he pulls me through the crowd. I fight his hold, but his grip is too tight.

My heart pounds as he drags me through the hall with certainty, and in two minutes, I find myself

pressed against his goddamn car in the parking lot.

“What the fuck?” I shout, shoving at him.

He grabs my hands once more and pins them over my head, effectively bending me backward on the

hood of his SUV. “What the fuck?” he replies, leaning into me, his voice low. “Is that hard or soft,

quick or slow, deep or shallow? ‘Cause baby, I can fuck you all six of those ways in one go.”

“None of them,” I snap. “What the fuck, as in, what the fuck, asshole?”

“Oh, that what the fuck.” He bends forward a little more. Until his mouth is against my ear and his

hard body is pressed right up against mine. “Maybe it’s the what the fuck I felt when I felt your eyes

on me all night. Maybe it’s the what the fuck I felt when you looked at me like you wanted to fuck

me one minute, then the next, slice my balls in two. Maybe it’s the what the fuck you’ve got in your

eyes while you let me lie my body over yours in a motherfucking parking lot seconds after I ask you

how you want to be fucked tonight.”

“I don’t want to be fucked,” I reply, doing my best to slam my hands into his hood. I fail—shit, he’s

so fucking strong I can’t even twist my hands in his grip.

“Baby, your body says otherwise.”

“My body is an impulsive fuckwit.”

“Your body knows me.”

“Again, my body is an impulsive fuckwit.”

“You never did say.” He breathes against my jaw and brushes his lips against my skin. “How do you

want to be fucked?”

He tilts his face into my neck and kisses. Oh, hell, he kisses my neck, right beneath my jaw, where my

chin meets my neck, and I pause. I inhale sharply.

“Get in the goddamn car,” he orders, releasing me.

“Excuse me?” I push up and stare at him.

“Get in the goddamn car,” he repeats, pulling open his door and staring me. “Or have I gotta throw

you into it?”

“I am not getting into your car!”

He slams his door shuts and rounds on me. I step backward, but he’s too quick, and he wraps an arm

around my waist. My body slams into his yet again as he opens the passenger side door of his SUV

and throws me into it.

“Get. In. The. Goddamn. Car.”

“This is kidnap!”

He slams my door, and I both see and hear him laughing as he walks to the driver’s side. “Sure it is,

baby. I’m startin’ the engine now, so you got ten seconds to get the hell out before I drive. One…

two…”



By His Game Series - Book 1


From Emma Hart, the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series, comes a brand new series where the game is realer, the tension is tighter, the sex is hotter, and the stakes are the highest of all…

Two people. Two agendas. Two games.
What happens when the out-there It-Boy of football meets the secret It-Girl of fashion?
As the daughter of Hollywood’s sweetheart, Leah Veronica can’t even buy a coffee without finding her face on a magazine stand, so it’s no wonder she’s launching her first fashion line in secret. With it debuting at New York Fashion Week in just under a month, extra time in the spotlight is the last thing she needs.
The son of the best quarterback the league has ever seen, filling legendary shoes as the L.A. Vipers’ quarterback was inevitable for Corey Jackson. So was meeting Leah Veronica—the first girl to hand him his ass without putting a hair out of place.
Getting the handsome, prickly blonde into his bed becomes his number one goal. But getting the sexy, over-confident footballer the hell away from her becomes Leah’s—at least until she realizes the best way to do that is to give him what he wants.
If only it was that simple.
When Corey discovers who she is, and private photos of Hollywood’s finest find their way online, everything they thought they knew is thrown into disarray.
And when secrets are exposed and hearts are shattered, they have to figure out if they’ve been blindsided by love or reality, and if it’s worth running the extra yard to win the game they never meant to play.




By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies - usually wine - and writes books.

Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love.

She likes to be busy - unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.

Kim's Review
5 stars!!!


Jenna Lang is one of the best computer techs in Colorado but no one would know it by looking at her.  Jenna owns her own company, sets her own hours and she loves it as she can keep people at a distance.  She fights every day to have a normal life after the abuse she suffer when she was younger.  When Billionaire Rylan Archer hires her to help him out with a problem, Jenna is more than happy but little does she know that he is testing out her skills.  The problem is Jenna is attracted to him and she doesn’t what know to do with it.  When Jenna finds out what Rylan did she freaks out and leaves hoping never to see him again.  Will they be able to work together or will the growing attract between them get in the way?

I was given this book in exchange for an honest review.

Jenna Lang was dealt a crappy hand.  The abuse she suffered when she was younger has left a lasting effect.  Jenna keeps people at a distance and has to have control with men.  She doesn’t date in the traditional way, she meets a guy, goes back to his place and they have sex and she leaves never seeing the same guy more than once.  Jenna has worked hard to become a strong independent woman and fights every day to remain strong, unfortunately she relives her past every time she closes her eyes but she wishes she could forget that part of her life.  Because of this Jenna keeps everyone at bay and was happy with her life as it was until the day she met Rylan Archer.

Rylan Archer is a self-made billionaire, starting his company when he was a freshman in college. He’s smart enough to know that he is only as good as the people he has working for him, Rylan goes after the best in the business.  Luring Jenna into an interview she didn’t know about was just the start.  He never expect to feel something for the tech savvy woman.  When Jenna uncovers Rylan’s true intention, she get mad and leaves.  The problems is Rylan doesn’t want her to leave but he wants more than just to have her work for him.  The things he feels for her is unlike anything he expected.


This is the prequel to the Pleasure Series by M. S. Parker and it’s off to an amazing start.  Jenna is a strong, level headed woman most of the time and has no problem going after what she wants.  Working for herself gives her the freedom she wants and keeps people from getting too close to her.  This works great for her until she meets Rylan.  He the one guy whom she can’t seem to get out of her head.  Rylan knows what women want from him and he’s tired of being used.  Secretly interviewing Jenna for a job at his company has given him a chance to get to know her better and learn that looks can be deceiving.  These two hit it off and both notice the connection between them but a series of bumps in the road keep them from trusting each other enough to get to know the other better.  Rylan offers Jenna a job and now we have to wait and see what her next move is.  I’m looking forward to seeing what happens between Jenna and Rylan and if Jenna can get over her past and finally live again.  M. S. Parker hit another one out of the park!!!

Elizabeth Carlson is living in the pits of hell- also known as grief.

Her husband of eight years, the father of her four children and the love of her life, died from cancer. Grady’s prognosis was grim, even from the start, but Liz never gave up hope he would survive. How could she, when he was everything to her? Six months later, she is trying to pick up the pieces of her shattered life and get the kids to school on time. Both seem impossible. Everything seems impossible these days. When Ben Tyler moves in next door, she is drowning in sorrow and pain, her children are acting out, and the house is falling apart. She has no time for curious new friends or unwanted help, but Ben gives her both. And he doesn’t just want to help her with yard work or cleaning the gutters. Ben wants more from Liz. More than she’s capable of ever giving again. As Liz mourns her dead husband and works her way through the five stages of grief, she finds there’s more of her heart to give than she thought possible. And as new love takes hold, she peels away the guilt and heartache, and discovers there’s more to life than death.

BlurredLines

Synopsis

Once burned… 

Finding my fiancée naked on my couch might’ve been a good thing, if her ex-boyfriend hadn’t been with her. For the past eight years I’ve been a witness to the power of true love, but after getting burned I’d decided there wasn’t any hope for me finding it for myself. Until I met Noelle Brandt in a hotel bar. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic meeting, but the moment I met her I knew I had to have her. The more I learn about her, the more I know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her.

Twice shy…

I’d already found the love of my life, but I’d lost that love forever. And I’d been lost ever since. But one night a wounded man makes all of that go away. He makes me laugh, live, and feel alive. When he tells me he has no intention of letting me go, I finally begin to believe in the power of true love again. That is, until I find out who he really is…and by then, it’s far too late to correct the mistakes we’ve already made. By the time we both know the truth, the lines have already been blurred beyond recognition.






BOOK TRAILER
 
   
Excerpt
She blinked up at me, her hazel eyes startlingly clear in a world where all the lines were blurred. “I am too.”
We stood there, her with her hands on my shoulders, me with my hand on her cheek, and neither one of us moved. “Noelle...”
“Right.” Shaking her head, she laughed uneasily and removed her hands. She wasn’t done, though. She undid my buttoned collar. “Don’t worry, I’m not taking advantage of you. I’m just getting you comfortable so you can sleep.”
“If anyone took advantage of the situation, it would be me.” I caught her hand. “I’m drunk, and I’m a hot mess, but I don’t want you to get the wrong idea about me. I’m not a guy who accepts an act of kindness and then repays it by being a stereotypical jerk.”
She blinked. “Who said you were? You’ve shown no inclination to take advantage of me in any way, shape, or form. I don’t blame you for not being interested. You just broke up with your fiancée and you’re, well—” She gestured at my stomach. “You’re hot. You could have your pick of anyone, so I’d hardly expect you to be falling all over me. I’m extraordinarily ordinary.”
I had a hard time keeping up with her fast flow of words in my current state, but I was fairly certain that she’d just put herself down. Insinuated I couldn’t possibly be interested in her for her physical attributes. For some reason, that irritated me.
More than my fiancée screwing some other dude on my couch did.
“You’re wrong.” I still hadn’t lowered my hand from her cheek— which would have probably been a hell of a lot more awkward if I was sober—so I ran my thumb over her sharp cheekbones. She had the cheekbones of a Greek goddess. “If sober and not dependent on your kindness, I’d be kissing you right now.”
She undid another button. “Is that so?”
Something about the way she said it made me think she didn’t believe I wanted her, which was ludicrous. The woman was gorgeous, but something told me she’d been single since her husband died. She needed someone in her life who could show her how beautiful she was. It made me wonder if she was going to wither up and die alone, or if she’d let herself love again.
“Why are you looking at me like that?” she whispered, her hands still on my third button.
“Because you’re beautiful,” I said in reply, keeping my voice low. “And I like looking at beautiful things. What else is life for, if not that?”

Pretty Smart Girls: Lace Up by Shea Ross Release Day Blitz

We're having a release day launch for Pretty Smart Girls: Lace Up by Shae Ross!! I'm super excited for this book release. Shae is sharing an excerpt and giveaway with us to celebrate her release, so check out all the bookish goodness!!


PSG RDL Banner


Exclusive Excerpt: 

Light spills down his lower half, illuminating the inverted V of his legs, planted in the middle of the passage as solid as Roman columns. My stomach twists. His shoulders and face remain in the shadows, but I’ve seen enough to know. It’s Jett. I could tell by the challenging look on his face earlier, he’s ready for round two—like a boxer bouncing up and down in the corner of the ring. I brush off my hands and start walking toward the cross-armed brick wall. A smile curls into the corners of my mouth. All right, frat boy. Bring it on. As I draw closer, I see light cutting against the hollowed slope of his cheek. His lips are seamed into a tight line, and his eyes are a kaleidoscope of deep blues. Clearly I’ve struck a nerve with Mr. Perfect. I suppose he’s not used to a woman dealing him into the game and then trouncing him. My feet plant in front of him. I raise my chin and attempt to exude a calm confidence I do not feel.

Pretty Smart Girls: Lace Up Synopsis

Team Ryan Ryan Rose and her fellow Spartans are finalists in a high-profile entrepreneurial competition. They're competing for life-changing money and for their futures. They have a solid plan to win. All they need to do is trounce the competition: rich frat boys from an archrival university. Easy, right?

Team Jett Jett Trebuchet's first mistake was not realizing that Ryan and her friends were the competition. His second was expressing his unabashed confidence in his team’s ability to win. After all, everyone knows the only thing MSU does better than U of M is produce beautiful, easy women…oh, and he almost forgot to say “dumb.” And boy, does his team pay for that one.

Game On 
As each side tries to game the other, something else seems to be getting in the way—attraction. Now Ryan and Jett must keep their teams from getting distracted by the opposite sex...and each other. All is not fair in love and war when it comes to winning this game.

BOOK TRAILER

 

BOOK BLURB

Once burned… 

Finding my fiancée naked on my couch might’ve been a good thing, if her ex-boyfriend hadn’t been with her. For the past eight years I’ve been a witness to the power of true love, but after getting burned I’d decided there wasn’t any hope for me finding it for myself. Until I met Noelle Brandt in a hotel bar. Maybe it wasn’t the most romantic meeting, but the moment I met her I knew I had to have her. The more I learn about her, the more I know I’ll do whatever it takes to keep her. 

Twice shy…

I’d already found the love of my life, but I’d lost that love forever. And I’d been lost ever since. But one night a wounded man makes all of that go away. He makes me laugh, live, and feel alive. When he tells me he has no intention of letting me go, I finally begin to believe in the power of true love again. That is, until I find out who he really is…and by then, it’s far too late to correct the mistakes we’ve already made. By the time we both know the truth, the lines have already been blurred beyond recognition.
