Dirty Sexy Cuffed by Carly Phillips and Erika Wilde Series: Dirty Sexy #3 Release Date: June 21, 2016 Genre: Contemporary Romance

  CUFFED cover  

Synopsis:

Are you ready to get Cuffed? As a cop, Levi Kincaid is all about discipline and control . . .in the bedroom, and out of it, and he's always been very careful about choosing women who abide by his rules. Hot sex and intense pleasure? No problem. Emotional commitment and forever promises? No way. But he never anticipates falling for a blue eyed angel who makes him want to cuff her to his bed and do dirty, sexy things to her. And that control of his? It doesn't stand a chance against Sarah Robins, the one woman he can't resist . . .  

Excerpt:

"When are you going to face the fact that this chick just isn't into you?" Levi Kincaid glanced across the dark interior of the unmarked SUV to his partner, Nick Catalano, who was alternating his attention between navigating the road and making sure Levi saw his smart-ass smirk. It wasn't the first time his friend had given Levi shit about his request to stop by Circle K on their way back to the station after their shift ended. For the past two months they'd been assigned to the DUI Strike Force in the area, which made stopping by the mart convenient. Seeing and flirting with Sarah Robins was just an added bonus. "She's totally into me, so that's not the issue," Levi refuted confidently, not at all bothered by Nick's ribbing. There were many times he'd caught the tempting way Sarah looked at him when she didn't think he was aware of her. And there was no mistaking the attraction between them she was so determined to fight. He just hadn't figured out why yet. But he would. "Then what's the problem?" Nick persisted—this from a man who was all about instant gratification when it came to women, while Levi was more . . . selective. "I'm not sure yet," he replied honestly. Truthfully, he was having a hell of a time getting past that wariness of hers, which only made him more curious about who Sarah Robins was— and where she'd come from. Admittedly, his interest in her had nothing to do with him being an inquisitive cop, and everything to do with him wanting her, in a deeper way than any female had gotten to him before. He just had to get her on the same page as him. Levi wasn't normally the type of guy who'd continue to pursue a woman who'd already turned him down half a dozen times. A smart man would have cut his losses after the first rejection, but from the moment he'd looked into Sarah's sweet, soulful blue eyes, he'd felt a connection that only seemed to grow stronger every time he saw her. And he certainly didn't miss the irony of that realization, when he was a man adept at maintaining strict control of his emotions—in all aspects of his life. "This is a shit part of town," Nick said, stating the obvious, which brought Levi's thoughts back to the present. "As soon as we're off this DUI task force, I don't want to drive through this part of Englewood unless it's for a call, so close the deal with Sarah already." "Winning a woman over takes time, Catalano," Levi said easily—especially one as wary as Sarah. "Though that's something I wouldn't expect you to understand." "Hell, no," he agreed with a quick, player's grin. "That's too much fucking work when there are plenty of women who take one look at this uniform and are instantly willing and eager to bend over and drop their panties. Trust me, getting laid, and regularly, is not an issue for me." Levi had plenty of offers; he was just more particular about his bed partners. He didn't do one night stands, but he didn't do long term committed, either. The few women he'd dated and allowed into his private life were looking for the same thing he was—a mutually satisfying physical relationship without any emotional involvement. More importantly, they were willing to let him be in control during all aspects of sex. And Sarah, from everything he'd learned so far, didn’t strike him as the type looking for long term either. Which made his pursuit easier for him to justify … and live with. Arriving at the Circle K, Nick turned the SUV into the deserted lot. He drove past the gas station area and stopped in front of the convenience store instead of parking the vehicle. "I noticed the back tire was low at the DUI check point," Nick said, explaining why he hadn't pulled into one of the many empty spaces in front of the mart like he normally did. "While you run inside and do your thing, I'm going to drive around back and fill the tire up with air. I'll meet you out front when you're done." "Sounds good." Levi released his seat belt and opened the door. "You want anything?" Nick grinned. "Yeah, I'll take a root beer and a Snicker's bar." "You got it." Levi hopped out of the truck, and while his partner drove off and disappeared behind the building, he headed toward the store. Out of years of habit, he glanced around the area, looking for anything, or anyone, who might be out of place. Especially in this part of town. But it was a quiet evening, and there weren't any other cars or people around, which wasn't unusual for a late Tuesday night. He walked into the store, and to his immediate left was the main counter and two registers. Sarah was sitting on a stool reading a magazine, and as soon as she heard someone enter, she looked up. Her bored expression immediately transformed to one of pleasure as a genuine, happy-to-see-him smile curved her soft, lush mouth, which never failed to make him think about slowly licking his tongue across that full lower lip before kissing her, or how that mouth would feel sliding down the length of his cock as she looked up at him from a kneeling position on the floor at his feet. Heat and desire mingled in his belly, and lower, as he strolled toward the counter. Yeah, he'd stored up five long week's worth of the hottest, most sinful fantasies of Sarah, in some of the most erotic scenarios he could imagine. Those dirty thoughts had come in handy when he'd lain in bed, hard and aching and needing relief. With his hand wrapped tight around his dick, those decadent visions playing through his mind never failed to alleviate his lust. But the relief was always temporary. He wanted the real thing. He wanted Sarah, her body soft and warm beneath his, and her willing to give herself over to him in all the ways he desired. And that kind of trust took time. And patience. Both of which he had in abundance.

You and Me by Veronica Larsen

Summary from Goodreads:

Just in time for summer: A Bite-Sized Romance! 

 It all started in the pouring rain. His wet shirt plastered to his hard body. My drenched hair strewn across my face.
We bantered. He held the door. I found out his name.
And for a half a second, I fell hard.
Then the record stopped. Forget his quick wit, those biceps, and insanely disarming clear blue eyes. The sexy sonofabitch proved he’d be just another mistake.
But Jackson won’t give up that easily. He's determined to show me that opposites can not only attract, they can ignite.
Can he and I become an us? Or did any chance we had at a future already get washed away?



My Thoughts:

     Samantha has just moved to town and is moving in with her (slightly) crazy sister but when she shows up-in the pouring rain-her sister isn’t home and she has no keys!  Enter Jackson-her sister’s neighbor.  He’s good-looking, funny and a neurosurgeon? But he is also condescending and slightly obnoxious. She could never date him…right?

      Again, I must mention that I am not usually a fan of novellas but this was a cute and fun story.  I always wish for a little more detail and “meat” to the story when I read short ones like this but I really enjoyed this story.  Ms. Larsen tells a great story with a sense of humor.  The ending seemed a bit abrupt to me but overall I really enjoyed this story.

  All of the characters are funny and relatable.  I think it will be enjoyable to see how this new mini-series plays out!

Man Candy by Melanie Harlow: Excerpt and Giveaway!!!

Man Candy by Melanie Harlow Release Date: June 20, 2016 Genre: Contemporary Romance

 
MHManCandyBookCover5x8_HIGH

Synopsis:

He’s back.
Not just back in town, but living in the flat right beneath mine. And he looks good enough to eat, which is just one more reason to stay away from him.
But I can’t resist.
The sex is incredible (pretty sure we’ve shaken the house right off its foundation), but he can’t fool me—not this time. A degree in marketing and five years in advertising have taught me that “true love” is a fairy tale used to sell lipstick, diamonds, and perfume. It doesn’t exist.
He thinks I’m wrong, and he wants to prove it.
I think he’s crazy, so I dare him to try.
It might be the biggest mistake of my life.

Excerpt:

“It’s so good to see you, Jaime,” he said. “You look great.” “You too,” I said before I could stop myself. I didn’t want him to think I still cared—in fact, I wanted him to know I wasn’t fooled by his charm. I wasn’t that silly little girl anymore, the one who’d doodled his name in her notebooks and blushed when he said hi at school and cried herself to sleep when he asked another girl to his prom. That silly little girl was gone, and in her place was a confident, smart, professional woman who knew her worth and, even better, the truth about love. No more stars in her eyes. But why did he have to be so hot? OK, pull yourself together. No drooling. “I’m so glad this worked out.” Quinn let me go but stood too close, his feet planted wide and his arms crossed over his chest. He wore jeans, a gray knit pullover that hugged his muscular chest and arms, and his feet were bare. His hair was damp and messy on top, just like it had been the last time I’d seen him in person. His full lower lip made me want to bite it. Maybe even draw blood. “Sorry, I just got out of the shower,” he said sheepishly, ruffling his hair. “Want to come in and catch up? Or maybe go out for a drink? I just need to throw some shoes on.” “No.” Trying desperately to shove the image of him in the shower from my mind, I elbowed past him and trudged up the stairs. My cheeks were hot, which meant they were probably turning scarlet. They ruined my poker face every time. “Come on, it’s Friday!” “I have work to do.” He was naked a few minutes ago. And wet. “Did you have a bad day?” “No.” Rivulets of water streaming over those muscles. “You already have plans tonight?” “No.” Steam rising as he stroked himself beneath the spray. “You don’t love me anymore?” I froze as the shower fantasy exploded into bits, replaced by a humiliation that paralyzed me, one foot on the top step, one hand on the banister. Slowly, I turned my head and glared at him over one shoulder. Now the grin cocked up on one side. “Because you used to, you know. You told me.” “You need to forget about that.” “Have you?” “Yes,” I snapped. “That was a long time ago. Back when I was young and impressionable and believed in love.” His brows went up. “You don’t believe in love anymore?” “Not the romantic kind. That’s a fantasy used to sell things like lipstick and roses and diamonds.” “Pretty jaded for twenty-seven, aren’t you?” I resumed heading up the stairs. “I’m not jaded, Quinn. I’m just a realist.” And I’ve been burned before, trusting guys way less attractive than you. He said nothing more, and I let myself into my flat. As soon as the door was shut behind me, I leaned back against it, exhaling and fanning my face. He still got to me. That was so aggravating. I mean, how was I supposed to sleep at night? Quinn Rusek was one fine piece of man candy, and I had a sweet tooth for him that wouldn’t quit. But he’d made fun of me! Again! A nice guy would have at least pretended not to remember what I’d said. Or maybe apologized for humiliating me. Or not have brought it up at all! What an asshole. A hot asshole—the worst kind. Curse you, Alex, and your generous heart. And curse you, Quinn, for getting under my skin again. You stay away from me. But a traitorous little part of me hoped he wouldn’t. (Bet you can guess which part.)

Tapping Her by Max Monroe


Summary:

Blissful in Bora Bora…
 
Kline and Georgia Brooks are fresh off their wedding and ready to indulge in the honeymoon of a lifetime.
 
Luxurious and private, their overwater bungalow in the South Pacific is the perfect backdrop for fun, sun, and enough sexiness to necessitate a dip in the clear water to cool down.
 
But marriage means more, and Kline and Georgia may have to find a different way to handle the heat.
 
 
Nowhere near normal in New York…
 
Thatcher Kelly loves wild women, and Cassie Phillips is about as wild as they come. Put them together and they are a match made in chaos.
 
Bound by cat-sitting responsibilities, Cass and Thatch have to find a way to right their mistakes—and wade through the dense cloud of sexual tension that seems to suffocate the room whenever they’re together.
 
Will they be able to resist?
 
And more importantly, will Walter be okay?



My Thoughts:


     Well, we join this crazy gang again while Georgia and Kline are on their honeymoon and Thatcher and Cassie are still in NYC cat-sitting the evil, Walter.  This can only spell disaster!
     This is a small novella that switched back and forth between Bora Bora honeymoon time and NYC hijinks that could only be brought about by two crazy people and one grumpy, runaway cat.  There is a lot of action packed into this short story! Georgia and Kline are trying to relax by the water but between multiple emails from her new boss and the disappearance of her beloved Walter things are a little stressful. 
     Thatcher and Cassie may have accidentally left the door open aiding Walter in his escape but they are looking high and low for him….all while flirting and driving each other crazy because they are just so much alike! They say that opposites attract but is that always the case?
     I have to admit that I am not much of a fan of novellas-I like a little more meat to my stories so the short story doesn’t really work for me.  This was a fun story but definitely more of the sexiness than in the first book, Tapping the Billionaire, which was sexy but also a bit angst-y.  Thatch and Cassie are heading towards something but they both have zero filters so this is more of a funny, pervy couple than Kline & Georgia!
     Fun little addition to get us ready for book #2 and to ease us into all the craziness that will accompany Thatcher and Cassie!
3.5/5 stars

We're so excited about the upcoming release of STROKED by Meghan Quinn! Check out this amazing teaser! 


STROKED by Meghan Quinn
Scheduled to release: July 20, 2016
NA Romantic Comedy

BLURB:
Reese King: Olympic medalist, underwear model, Greek god.

His body is chiseled from rock, sculpted by the weight room, and refined by water.

On a daily basis his skin is completely bare for everyone to see, tan and defined, only covered up by a minuscule piece of spandex. There is no denying his sex appeal.

I hate to admit it, but I’m head over heels infatuated with him.

There is one HUGE problem though. His achingly gorgeous abs, inked up arm, and cocky swagger belong to my boss, the high-profile, reality star bitch from hell and certified heinous human being, Bellini Chambers.

What I think is going to be an easy job assisting a glorified wench turns into a cluster f*ck of epic proportions.

About the Author:

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if "It's Raining Men" starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing... enter her first novel, Caught Looking.

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!

Dirty, Sexy Cuffed by CarlyPhillips & Erika Wild


Summary from Amazon:


ARE YOU READY TO GET CUFFED?

As a cop, Levi Kincaid is all about discipline and control . . .in the bedroom, and out of it, and he's always been very careful about choosing women who abide by his rules. Hot sex and intense pleasure? No problem. Emotional commitment and forever promises? No way. But he never anticipates falling for a blue eyed angel who makes him want to cuff her to his bed and do dirty, sexy things to her. And that control of his? It doesn't stand a chance against Sarah Robins, the one woman he can't resist . . .

My Thoughts:


     Cuffed is book number three in the Dirty Sexy series but the first one I have personally read.  Each novel is stand-alone so if you, like me, missed the first two you won’t be lost!

     Sarah is a young woman who has not only been shuffled through the foster system for most of her childhood but she just keeps getting involved with losers.  Her last boyfriend wasn’t very good to her and even lured her into a crazy religious cult and is now stalking her to try and drag her back to it.

     Levi is a control freak and rightfully so.  His childhood was horrible and he never has anyone to trust besides his brothers.  No one has ever been there for him nor has he wanted them to be until he meets Sarah while he is out on patrol.  After several weeks of asking her out with no results, an ordeal throws them together and Sarah gives him a chance.

     I have never read anything by either of these authors but I can tell you that together that right some great characters! Both Sara and Levi are flawed but likeable and you root for them to work out their issues and trust each other.  Sometimes in a story when the main characters are so messed up it gets to be too much drama but this story does not get overly dramatic about it and it is very good.

     I do think that the ending was a little rushed and think the story would have benefited from a little bit more in that area.  Cuffed is a great, fast read if you are looking for a little bit of angst and love to read.

I don’t think reading the first two books is necessary but I would definitely like to go back and read them.

4/5 stars

All the Missing Girls by Megan Miranda*

*this is a spoiler free review!

Summary from Amazon:


It’s been ten years since Nicolette Farrell left her rural hometown after her best friend, Corinne, disappeared from Cooley Ridge without a trace. Back again to tie up loose ends and care for her ailing father, Nic is soon plunged into a shocking drama that reawakens Corinne’s case and breaks open old wounds long since stitched.

The decade-old investigation focused on Nic, her brother Daniel, boyfriend Tyler, and Corinne’s boyfriend Jackson. Since then, only Nic has left Cooley Ridge. Daniel and his wife, Laura, are expecting a baby; Jackson works at the town bar; and Tyler is dating Annaleise Carter, Nic’s younger neighbor and the group’s alibi the night Corinne disappeared. Then, within days of Nic’s return, Annaleise goes missing.

Told backwards—Day 15 to Day 1—from the time Annaleise goes missing, Nic works to unravel the truth about her younger neighbor’s disappearance, revealing shocking truths about her friends, her family, and what really happened to Corinne that night ten years ago.

My Thoughts:


     We open the story meeting Nicolette for the first time having just arrived home after a nearly ten-year absence to help take care of her ailing father.  She left Cooley Ridge for Philadelphia to make a new life for herself and start over after her high school best friend disappeared without a trace and the ensuing investigation tore her world apart.  Many of the original players are still around and it appears that not much has changed; Cooley Ridge is stuck is a lost time along with her old friend.

     Shortly after Nic’s return home another woman, a neighbor this time, also goes missing.  Things slowly unravel as we begin to learn not only about the current situation but also the past.

     The concept behind this story is just as important as the story itself.  The timeline runs backwards! We start at the 15th day (chapter 1) after Nic has gone home works backwards to the first day she got home.  It all circles back around to the beginning to give us this amazing puzzle of what happened ten years ago and present day.

     I don’t know how Ms. Miranda wrote this book so well giving us just enough breadcrumbs of information to keep us enthralled.  Dropping bits within each and every day/chapter so that the pieces fall into place for you even though you are working backwards through time would have taking me some serious brain power!

     At first, I read slowly just trying to work out how I was going to keep this all straight but I soon realized I just needed to relax and enjoy the ride.  The time sequencing doesn’t seem like it should work but it does…you have no clue what is going on but it slowly starts to work.  Every new “day” gave me a new idea of who was the guilty party! Every paragraph, every sentence changed the story and my theories.

If you liked Gone Girl or The Girl on the Train you will like this dark, twisty story!

HUGE sale on some great books!





 






Felony Ever After which I reviewed here and loved is on sale for 99 cents! 
 


***13 Authors put their brains together to write ONE story***

     Verity Michaels is new to New York City, but even she knows riding in a stolen a cab is not a normal way to meet someone. Damn it if that tattoo-covered would-be felon isn’t everywhere now, and lighting everything on fire under her skirt.
     His name is Hudson Fenn, and he’s frustratingly impossible to pin down. He works as a bike messenger, but has the manners of a prince—along with a strange tendency toward breaking and entering. As much as Verity knows he’s not her type, and likely to land her in jail, she can’t help but find her truest self when they’re together.
     Can she be brave enough to give Hudson a real chance? Will he be bold enough to reveal the man beneath the ink, or will his secrecy doom their connection? Also, WTF is the deal with Verity’s boss? No less than thirteen of your favorite romance writers have teamed up to tell this sexy, wacky, snort-inducing tale.
