Excerpt

Getting caught reading Fifty Shades of Grey in the parking lot at work wasn’t the best way to meet her boss. A boss she didn’t know she had. A boss who now had the job she had been waiting to apply for (and win) for the past year. 

So Lydia Charles was having a very bad day. And it was only 7:32 a.m.

Tap tap tap. She looked up, startled, to find a pair of bright green eyes, shaded by a hand, peering in the window of her little red car. He caught the book cover and smirked.  

Oh, screw off, she thought, shoving her car key in the ignition and turning it on so she could roll down the window. As if it weren’t bad enough being caught reading Mommy Porn (and she wasn’t even a mom), her last few minutes of freedom before enslavement as a corporate drone were being bothered by some anonymous guy. 

Light brown hair with a nice wave to it and those crazy-green eyes. A perfect nose. Broad shoulders set off by one hand on his forehead, one on his hip, making his forearms pop a bit, the muscles from neck to shoulder joint stretching like an athlete’s. It was like looking at one of those guys on television, an actor in a show you watch not for the plot, but for the eye candy with a spark of smarts and wit.

If he told her he was a firefighter or a detective, she’d believe him. He had the look of a man who takes care of himself because he has to in order to function well at his hands-on job.

He works out, she surmised as the window scrolled down. Boring business-casual uniform of Dockers and a button-down shirt. Couldn’t see his shoes but she guessed something from Land’s End. 

Middle management.

Which was one step above her. Gritting her teeth, she wondered what this was about.

Synopsis:
Protecting the Girl Next Door was originally published as Forever Bound. It has since been expanded, revised, and re-edited.

I like women, and I like adventure. I always have. The last thing I want to do is settle down with the girl next door and live a boring, domestic life. So I have no idea what I'm doing here, posing as a first-grade teacher.

It's the most ridiculous undercover security job I've ever had to work. Corralling a bunch of six-year-olds while I try to do my job and keep anyone from knowing how clueless I really am. I manage to fool everyone. Except Kristin.

She's an actual teacher, and she's determined to find out what I'm really doing here. She doesn't trust me, and her daughter doesn't like me. And the worst part is that I'm starting to like them. A lot.

So now, instead of being the tough guy, I'm stuck with rowdy children and Christmas pageants and falling in love. It's not the way I thought I'd spend Christmas.

MY REVIEW:

I would go back to school and start all over if I could have a teacher like Declan!  He is the last one of the four protectors that you would expect to be put in this assignment, but it is a hit!  Declan goes through women and likes them on the fast side because when he was attracted to the girl next door type, it didn't end well.  Declan goes into the assignment thinking it will be easy and all playtime, but that was before he met Kristan, one of his student's moms and also a fellow teacher, who gets in his face.  Kristan is definitely the girl next door type, but is also a widow of a Navy SEAL and the mother to a little girl, Lucy.  Declan and Kristan heat up these pages!  The back and forth, will they or won't they is so well done and when done in the setting of a grade school, adds a whole other dimension!  Loved reading about the other protectors and getting a glimpse in their lives and loves.






Title: Protecting the Movie Star
Author: Noelle Adams and Samantha Chase
Release Date: August 30, 2017
Series: The Protectors #4
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Price: $2.99

Synopsis:
Protecting the Movie Star was originally published as Home Bound. It has since been expanded, revised, and re-edited.

The story of my life isn't pretty. I come from the wrong side of the tracks. I've been a criminal. I've been homeless. I almost killed my father, and I might be responsible for the death of my best friend.
I should not be wanting Evangeline.

Her life story is the stuff of dreams. She's America's sweetheart - beautiful, talented, and famous - and she doesn't want anything to do with me. I'll protect her from a stalker since it's my job, but that's all I'm allowed. No touching, no lusting, no falling in love. I'm all wrong for her, and she's completely off-limits.

But I've never been good about following the rules.

MY REVIEW: 

I have been waiting for Cole's story and wondering how he would be able to get out of his own head and allow love in.  This final story in the quartet is like the cherry on top.  Cole has been dealt a tough hand from childhood and as he grew it got worse.  When he turned to the Marines, he found the brothers he never had, but when they lose one of their own, he believes he is to blame and then when each of his 'brothers' fall to love, he finds himself getting angrier.  He hates all things that Hollywood and the rich stand for, so when his assignment is to step in and find the stalker of a friend of Sebastian's, who also is a movie star, he is beyond furious and his anger is directed at Evangeline.  Evangeline is terrified of the stalker, who seems to be getting closer and closer to her, but she isn't sure that Cole is the man for the job of protecting her.  If you think that the sparks were hot in the other protector books, throw that out the window, because this is the best one!  Love how Cole and Evangeline butt heads and even though at times she can't stand him, she knows Cole is the best man for the job and maybe, just maybe, the best man for her.  Loved this series and they saved the best for last!

And I want her just as much as ever.

Someone is trying to kill her now, and she won't let me keep her safe. I have to protect her anyway, even if she doesn't trust me, even if she hates me for it. A man protects what's precious to him, whether or not he can ever claim her for his own.

And Harper has always been precious to me.

MY REVIEW:

OK, I love strong women heroines, but seriously at times I wanted to slap Harper upside the head when she was so insensitive and harsh to Levi.  I understand she was grieving, but so was he and he was hurt.  I am glad I gave her a chance because she sure did come around and make me love her!!!!  Levi and Harper bring out the best in each other and at times they bring out the not so best, lol.  They have chemistry that jumps from the pages and this helps draw you into the story.  I loved meeting the other Marines in this foursome and look forward to their stories.  The emotional part of this story was handled well and not just glossed over for the sake of getting it into the story.  I loved the suspenseful aspect and coupled with the romance it made the story memorable.




Title: Protecting the Enemy
Author: Noelle Adams and Samantha Chase
Release Date: August 9, 2017
Series: The Protectors #2
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Price: $2.99

Synopsis:
Protecting the Enemy was originally published as Honor Bound. It has since been expanded, revised, and re-edited.

Twelve years ago, I gave up the love of my life because my family made the relationship impossible. Now that Ali has come back to me, I'm not going to give her up again.

It's been years since I've seen her, and I know she's hated me all this time. I never expected to see her working as an event planner for one of my father's business partners. But here she is, always snooping around and getting into trouble. I'm supposed to be providing security, but I can't stop thinking about her.

She's up to something, and it might put her in danger. She sees me as the enemy now. Maybe I am, but I'm not going to lose her again. I might be hired to protect the man she's working against, but my heart only wants to protect her.

Find out more at: Amazon B&N iBooks Kobo


MY REVIEW:

This is the second in the series and it is keeping the five stars going!  I thought I wouldn't like Sebastian because I expected him to be a rich, uptight, pretty boy who just wanted to flip off his rich family, but WOW I was wrong!  There is so much more to him than you can imagine and every turn of the pages gives you another layer of him to love.  He has always compared his women to the 'one that got away' but the only reason she wasn't in his life anymore was because of his family's interference.  When his father throws The Protectors a cushy assignment, the last thing Sebastian thinks he will find is Ali, the one love of his life.  Only thing is, Ali is not feeling the love because she feels that she misjudged Seb all those years ago and that he was just like his father.  Ali is on a mission and is using her job to complete it, at all costs, but when she keeps getting caught by Sebastian, they need to fight their sparks, but also the suspicions they both have about the other.  I loved reading how they worked through their past and got to the point they could see if a future was in the plans.  This is such a terrific series!

RELEASE WEEK BLITZ: MR. BIG by DELANCEY STEWART

cover-mrbig

About MR. BIG

Once upon a time, I had everything: money, power, a multimillion-dollar company, a loving family. Well, at least I thought I had everything. Then my parents died, and I found out my whole life was based on a lie. That’s pretty much the moment when I went numb. Told the world to f*** off and went on a bender of epic proportion, just to see how far I could fall before I hit rock-bottom.
Now I’m back and all I want in this world is my morning—okay, afternoon—coffee. Then one of my employees has the nerve to call me out for cutting the line at the coffeehouse at the company I own. Sure, I’m a little scruffier than usual, but come on, bitching out the CEO? Not a smart career move. Just who does this smart-mouthed ball-buster think she is? And more important, what do I have to do to get her number? Holland O’Dell may be uptight, but I wouldn’t mind taking her back to my place and ripping off that business-casual blouse/skirt combo and burying myself in her curves. She pushes my buttons, but at least I’m feeling something. And whatever it is, I won’t stop until I get more. Advance praise for Mr. BigMr. Big is the kind of smart, sexy delight that every woman deserves to read! [Delancey] Stewart will make you believe in true love in this steamy, heart-wrenching tale.”USA Today bestselling author Sierra Simone “With a smart, feisty heroine and hot, tortured hero, Mr. Big has everything I look for in a contemporary romance. Witty, sexy, and full of heart!”—Melanie Harlow, USA Today bestselling author
Get your hands on MR. BIG now:

MY REVIEW:

YOWSER!  I did not expect this book at all, it really grabbed me, held my attention, and made me keep turning the pages.  Holland is a strong woman and I love strong heroines and she does not disappoint!  She is a little OCD and at times it does come back to bite her a few times and I loved reading through the story to see if she comes to terms with it and is able to reign it in ....or lets it ruin her chance at happiness!  Next, we have Oliver and I found my feelings all over the place with him, lol.  I hated him, loved him, melted over him, felt sorry for him, and wanted to slap him at times.  But, that is just another layer that makes this story terrific!  The struggles the main characters are working through are well written.  The background characters are not just thrown in for filler, but add more to the story.  Really enjoyed!

EXCERPT REVEAL: WHEN WE TOUCH by TIA LOUISE

SBPRBanner-WWT-ER

SNEAK PEEK of When We Touch, an all-new sexy, second chance standalone from Tia Louise is coming September 5th!

5.25x8_Cream_300

Excerpt:

Ember Jackson Cane tastes like red-hot cinnamon, salt water, and sin. When he concentrates, his long fingers twist in the back of his dark hair, right at the base of his neck, and he tugs. Tugs… tugs… I like to weave my fingers between his and pull. Then ocean-blue eyes blink up to mine sending electricity humming in my veins. He smiles. I smile, and it isn’t long before our lips touch. I climb onto his lap in a straddle as I open my mouth, and his delicious tongue finds mine heating every part of my body. Our kisses are languid and deep, chasing and tasting. We sizzle like fireworks on a hot summer night… Eventually, with a heavy sigh, I pull away, but hours later my mouth is still burning. I taste him everywhere I go. Lying in my bed in the dark room, my heart aches, heavy and painful in my chest. Every breath is a burden. I blink slowly at the ceiling and slide my tongue against the back of my teeth thinking about hot cinnamon, tangy salt, caramel and sugar, sunshine and the best summer of my life… The instant I hear it, I’m on my feet and tiptoeing to my open window. The low growl of an engine tells me he’s there in the darkness, out on the street in the shadows just past the streetlight. It’s late summer, and the humidity hangs heavy in the air. Bugs scree from the limbs of the mighty oak tree outside my window. Their damp wings make them too heavy to fly, and the sadness in my chest is replaced with breathless anticipation. I’m panting. I’ve never felt this way for anyone, and I’m desperate to hold onto it. I somehow I know I’ll never feel this way for anyone ever again. Quiet as a mouse I scamper to my bedroom door and listen. The only sound is the hum of Mama’s oscillating fan pushing the warm air around her bedroom. I can’t hear her breathing. I can’t hear anything… except the noise of Jackson’s engine on the street below, waiting. Red-hot cinnamon. Salt water. Sin. Pressure tingles around the edges of my skull, and a bead of sweat tickles down the side of my neck, dropping past my shoulder, slipping between my breasts. I’m at my window slowly lifting the glass, and I don’t care if she hears me. I dive through the space, out onto the cedar shake roof in my bare feet. I’ll get a splinter if I’m not careful… So many reasons to be careful—I ignore them all.

Synopsis:

From international bestselling author Tia Louise comes a new STAND-ALONE second-chance romance…
Ember Rose was spicy-sweet seduction.
My biggest temptation.
My biggest regret.
I thought she’d always be waiting for me.
I was wrong.
Now I’m back in Oceanside searching for peace, hoping to escape what my life has become.
She isn’t supposed to be here…
Dark hair blowing in the ocean breeze,
Luscious curves barely hidden by thin cotton.
I didn’t come back for her.
But when we touch, I know I’ll do whatever it takes to make her mine…
