<i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>“Once again, L.J. Shen has blown me away with a hauntingly beautiful, angst-driven, emotionally charged romance that will stay with me long after the last page. A must read for 2020.”</b></i><br />

<i><br /></i>
<i>Angry God, an all-new beautiful and dark new adult romance from USA Today bestselling author L.J. Shen, is available now!</i><br />
<br />
Vaughn Spencer.<br />
<br />
They call him an angry god.<br />
<br />
To me, he is nothing but a heartless prince.<br />
<br />
His parents rule this town, its police, every citizen and boutique on Main Street.<br />
<br />
All I own is a nice, juicy grudge against him for that time he almost killed me.<br />
<br />
Between hooking up with a different girl every weekend, breaking hearts, noses and rules, Vaughn also finds the time to bully little ole’ me.<br />
<br />
I fight back, tooth and nail, never expecting him to chase me across the ocean after we graduate high school.<br />
<br />
But here he is, living with me in a dark, looming castle on the outskirts of London.<br />
<br />
A fellow intern. A prodigal sculptor. A bloody genius.<br />
<br />
They say this place is haunted, and it is.<br />
<br />
Carlisle Castle hides two of our most awful secrets.<br />
<br />
Vaughn thinks he can kill the ghosts of his past, but what he doesn’t know? It’s my heart he’s slaying.<br />

“How good are you at keeping secrets, Lenora Astalis?” His voice wrapped around my neck like a noose.<br />
<br />
I wanted to cough. I needed to cough. He terrified me. I hated him with the heat and passion of a thousand blazing suns. He made me feel like a scaredy cat and a snitch.<br />
<br />
“Oh, yes. If you’re coward enough to pretend you’re asleep, you’re good enough to keep a secret. That’s the thing about you, Astalis. I can smash you into dust and watch your grains dance at my feet. My little circus monkey.”<br />
<br />
I might’ve hated Vaughn, but I hated myself more for not standing up to him. For not opening my eyes and spitting in his face. Clawing his unnaturally blue eyes out. Taunting him back for all the times he’d taunted all of us at Carlisle Prep.<br />
<br />
“By the way, your eyelids are moving,” he said drily, chuckling.<br />
<br />
He straightened up, his finger making a brief stop at the base of my spine. He snapped his fingers, making a breaking sound, and I nearly jumped out of my skin, letting out a gasp. I squeezed my eyes tighter, still pretending to sleep.<br />
<br />
He laughed.<br />
<br />
The bastard laughed.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<br />
Was he sparing me for the time being? Was he going to check in on me from now on? Retaliate if I opened my mouth? He was so unpredictable. I wasn’t sure what my life would look like in the morning.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>"Romance masterpiece" - Kylie Scott, New York Times bestselling author</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
<b><br /></b>
<b>From USA Today and #1 Amazon bestselling author L.J. Shen comes a new, contemporary romance with heart-wrenching twists and laugh-out-loud moments.</b><br />
<b>In The Unlikely Event is available now!</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Sometimes you meet people who are out of this world, so you make them a part of yours.</div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
A one-night stand born from vengeance in a foreign land.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An explosive chemistry neither of us could deny.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
We signed a contract on the back of a Boar’s Head Pub napkin that said if we ever met again, we would drop everything and be together.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Eight years and thousands of miles later, he’s here.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In New York.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And he’s America’s music obsession.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The intangible Irish poet who brings record executives to their knees.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The blizzard in my perfect, unshaken snow globe.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Last time we spoke, he was a beggar with no intention of becoming a king.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But a king he became, and now I’m his servant.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I’m not the same broken princess Malachy Doherty put back together with his callused hands.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I have a career I love.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A boyfriend I adore.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An apartment, a roommate, a life.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I changed. He changed, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But Mal kept the napkin.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Question is, will I keep my word?<br />

<br />
<i>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</i><br />
<br />
After reading this book, I just want to take a nice trip abroad... to Ireland specifically. Wow this book was not what I was expecting AT ALL... yet what LJ Shen releases, I will always read.<br />
<br />
<i>"Life is too short not to kiss the one you want."</i><br />
<br />
This is a book about how series of events can cause these crazy consequences in other people's lives. You may not get there the first time and it may take years, but there is a path. That's what I took away from this book. It's written differently, but it is an easy, quick read to pick up for the holiday season. Overall, I am giving this book <b>3.5 out of 5 Stars</b>. Enjoy this read!<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>EXCERPT</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
When I finally come face to face with the street artist standing on the side of the pavement, his guitar case open and full of rolled-up notes and change, I understand why his grandfather told me I’d recognize him with the self-assurance of an avid believer.<br />
<br />
I’ve never seen someone like him before.<br />
<br />
He is beautiful, true, but that’s not what stands out to me. He is radiant.<br />
<br />
It’s like his presence has a presence. He sucks the air out of everything in his vicinity, making it impossible not to look at him. Malachy is tailor-made for a huge, colossal heartbreak. Everything about him—his tattered jeans, filthy boots, white shirt, and leather jacket that was broken in decades ago—screams trouble. He looks like a seventies heartthrob. An icon. A Terry Richardson muse. Bruce Springsteen pre-fame.<br />
<br />
His voice is like honey and warm spices. It lulls me into a place in my mind I’ve never been before, even though it’s far from beautiful. It is gruff, throaty, and smoky. When someone bumps my shoulder to get closer to him, I snap out of my reverie and realize what I’m listening to.<br />
<br />
“One” by U2.<br />
<br />
The coincidence is strange. I try to tell myself it’s nothing. This is Ireland. U2 is a national treasure.<br />
<br />
His eyes are squeezed shut as he sings. It’s like no one exists other than him and his guitar. Something warm rushes through my skin, like a heat wave, and I shudder in delight.<br />
<br />
Warmth.<br />
<br />
I always thought there was something melancholy about street performers—the way people walk past them, ignoring their music, their art, their passion. But this guy, he’s the one doing the ignoring. The tables have turned. He’s got the crowd eating from the palm of his hand. Every woman here is under a thick, sweet spell. He’s got that Harry Styles quality that makes girls want to bed him and older women want to adopt him. The men are a cross between impatient, annoyed, and jealous. You can see it in the way they tap their feet, check their watches, nudge their wives and girlfriends to move it.<br />
<br />
The song ends, and Malachy Doherty cracks his eyes open and stares directly at me, like he knew I’d be here. Like he watched me watching him through closed eyes. Disoriented—and for some reason wanting to do something, anything—I throw a bill into his guitar case and look away, realizing to my horror that I threw the fifty euros his grandpa gave me. Everyone around me murmurs and whistles. They think it was intentional. I can feel my face flaming red. I bet he thinks I want to sleep with him.<br />
<br />
<i>Do I</i>? Probably. <i>But</i> <i>should he know that</i>? Hell no.<br />

</div>
<i>Not all love stories are written the same way. Ours had torn chapters, missing paragraphs, and a bittersweet ending.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Luna Rexroth</b> is everyone’s favorite wallflower.<br />
Sweet.<br />
Caring.<br />
Charitable.<br />
Quiet.<br />
Fake.<br />
Underneath the meek, tomboy exterior everyone loves (yet pities) is a girl who knows exactly what, and who, she wants—namely, the boy from the treehouse who taught her how to curse in sign language.<br />
Who taught her how to laugh.<br />
To live.<br />
To love.<br />
<br />
<b>Knight Cole</b> is everyone’s favorite football hero.<br />
Gorgeous.<br />
Athletic.<br />
Rugged.<br />
Popular.<br />
Liar.<br />
This daredevil hell-raiser could knock you up with his gaze alone, but he only has eyes for the girl across the street: Luna.<br />
But Luna is not who she used to be. She doesn’t need his protection anymore.<br />
When life throws a curveball at All Saints’ golden boy, he’s forced to realize not all knights are heroes.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
Sometimes, the greatest love stories flourish in tragedy.<br />

Right now I wanted to just be here in silence with my best friend. And somehow, I<br />
don’t know how, but Luna sensed it. So we sat there for what felt like two hours but was<br />
probably a lot less, until I opened my eyes again. Her eyes were closed, too. I watched<br />
her for a while.<br />
When she opened her eyes, it felt like she took something away from me.<br />
“Let’s jump,” she said.<br />
“I’m quite fond of my limbs, Moonshine.”<br />
“Stop being such a big baby.”<br />
“Big, quarterback baby who just finished a football season in one piece and<br />
would like to keep all his body parts intact.”<br />
<br />
She crawled out of the treehouse and settled on the branch. It was thick, but I<br />
doubted it could carry my muscular ass for more than a few seconds before snapping. I<br />
rolled my eyes and settled next to her. She slipped her hand in mine.<br />
“Three, two, one.”<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
It was a short, sweet way down.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b>
<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
There were always whispers about my roommate at Hillcrest Academy.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
The wealthiest of the wealthy sent their kids to our boarding school, and Brooke Bennett had been at the top, though I never quite knew why. She was fun and outgoing, but she kept quiet about her family. The only things she showed me were photographs of her brothers.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
I became fascinated with her second-oldest brother. Kai Bennett.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
He was the most of them all. Smoldering. Hypnotic. Alluring.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Kai had eyes that pulled me in and a face that haunted my dreams.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Then I met him.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
He came to our school with their father, and that’s when I learned what kind of family Brooke came from. They were mafia, and Brooke’s oldest brother was dead. Her father said accident, but Brooke said murder.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Three months later, her father died, and Kai became the head of the Bennett Family. Brooke left Hillcrest for good, and that was the last time I saw her.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Fourteen years later, I’m staring at her face on the television. Brooke is missing.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Two days later, Kai Bennett kidnaps me.</div>

<br />
<i>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</i><br />
<br />
Tijan is back with a new book that will make you sing her praises! I thoroughly enjoyed this one and know you will too!<br />
<br />
<i>"He was cold. He was calculating. And he was ruthless."</i><br />
<br />
This is the twisted story of young <b>Riley</b> and mafia boss <b>Kai Bennett</b>. They knew each other fourteen years ago, and now because Kai's sister is missing, Riley has become a person of interest. And what do proper Mafia bosses do when they need to questions someone?... Kidnap the suspect, of course!<br />
<br />
<i>"I needed to feel him. I needed to touch him. I needed to claim him."</i><br />
<br />
This book made me laugh, cry, and pull my hair out at times but it is an amazing read that will make you want more <i>**cough cough PLEASE TIJAN cough cough**</i>. Riley is my ultimate book hero. She is so strong at times when I know I could never be. Kai is fierce and loyal, and he fights for everything he's ever wanted.<br />
<br />
<i>"Kai was the enemy, or I'd thought he was."</i><br />
<br />
Tijan has taken a deep dive into Mafia romance and hit herself with an ace! I can't wait to see what she comes up with next. Overall, I am giving this book <b>5 out of 5 Stars</b> for being one of the most incredible books I've read in 2019. This book will be read again and again. Pickup a copy and get reading... Kai's waiting for you ;)<br />

“I felt his pulse too. It was as fast as mine.<br />
<br />
“You may hate me. You may loathe me.” His hand slid back from my neck and moved down agonizingly slowly, between my breasts to my stomach.<br />
<br />
I gasped, and he slid his hand under my pajama shorts until they rested over my clit. I surged upward at his touch, my head falling back, everything in me starting to tremble.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"></span></div>
One of his fingers dipped inside of me. “But you goddamn want me.” And with that, a second finger joined his first and he took hold of my tank, his mouth slamming down on mine.”<br />

When Ellis Earnshaw and Heathan James met as children, they couldn’t have been more different. Ellis was loud and beautiful – all blond hair, bright laughs and smiles. Heathan was dark and brooding, and obsessed with watching things die.</div>
</div>
<br />
The pair forged an unlikely friendship, unique and strange. Until they were ripped apart by the sick cruelty of others, separated for years, both locked in a perpetual hell.<br />
<br />
Eleven years later, Heathan is back for his girl. Back from a place from which he thought there was no return. Back to seek revenge on those who wronged them.<br />
<br />
Time has made Heathan’s soul darker, polluted with hatred and the thirst for blood.<br />
<br />
Time has made Ellis a shell of her former self, a little girl lost in the vastness of her pain.<br />
<br />
As Heathan pulls Ellis out of her mental prison, reviving the essence of who she once was, down the rabbit hole they will go.<br />
<br />
With malice in their hearts and vengeance in their veins, they will seek out the ones who hurt and destroyed them.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>BOOK REVIEW</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<i>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</i></div>
<br />
THIS BOOK. I wonder how deep Tillie Cole dove into the darkest pits of hell to come up with the idea for this novel-it is simply incredible. I read this book in one go because I just could not put it down. I don't remember the last time something made me feel so intrigued, disgusted, and gushy all at the same time.<br />
<b><br /><i>There was no Rabbit without Dolly. There was no Dolly without Rabbit.</i></b><br />
<br />
<b>Dolly</b> and <b>Rabbit</b> are straight out of Wonderland, if only Wonderland were the devil's vacation home. Rabbit was forced to leave his Dolly, but now he's back with revenge on his mind and all he can think about is making sure his Dolly has the time of her life in Wonderland... but first they need to fight the bad guys of Wonderland and drink a little tea as they have the time of their lives while conquering what was once lost to them.<br />
<b><br /><i>Non-killers, I thought. So fucking boring, living their mundane little lives.</i></b><br />
<br />
I utterly LOVED this book. I've seen Tillie Cole get dark in her books, but this one takes the crumpet. She creates a world so dark that it completely contrasts with the beauty that is Dolly and Rabbit's love for each other. Overall, I'm giving this book <b><i>5 Stars out of 5 Stars </i></b>because it is completely fucked up yet so beautiful. Go Read This Book-Like Right Now.<br />
<b><br /><i>[He] was never the light of my life, but instead a heavy eclipse.</i></b><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
Rabbit turned off the country road we were on and pulled onto a dirt path. Bushy tree branches curled above us to create a tunnel. I leaned my head back and caught the last rays of sun slicing through the leaves. When I lifted my head I saw a building up ahead. A house made from wood stood before us.<br />
Rabbit pulled the car to a halt. There were no sounds coming from this house. No screams or crying. Everything was just . . . silent.<br />
<br />
Rabbit’s hands slid from the wheel, and without looking at me, he said, “This is where we’ll be staying for the next several days.”<br />
<br />
I leaned forward and looked out of the window. “Your home?”<br />
<br />
He shook his head. “The first stop on our adventure.” I looked at him and found his silver eyes were already on me. “We have many stops to go.”<br />
<br />
My heart fluttered in nervous excitement. “And this is number one . . .” I whispered, more to myself than Rabbit.<br />
<br />
Rabbit opened his door. I was still staring at the woods surrounding this place when my car door opened too. Rabbit stood, rabbit-headed cane in hand, waiting for me to leave the car. I swallowed back the nerves that were creeping up my throat and stepped out. The ground crunched beneath my shoes.<br />
<br />
“This way.” Rabbit held his arm out toward the house. I fell into step beside him. I glanced all around us, searching for any sign of people. As if reading my mind, Rabbit said, “There is just you and I here for now. We will meet more people when our journey truly begins.”<br />
<br />
“It has not begun?”<br />
<br />
Rabbit led us to a wooden door and paused. Gripping the head of his cane tighter, he faced me and said, “Soon, darlin’. Before we go, we must prepare.” He opened the door. “But first . . . tea.”<br />
<br />
My breath caught in my throat. Beyond the threshold lay the most perfect tea-party spread one ever did see. “Rabbit!” I gasped. My hands flew to my mouth. I took a step forward into the house and onward into the magical room just beyond. As I passed Rabbit I looked up to see him watching me. I moved swiftly to the long table in the center of the wooden-paneled room, and my eyes widened as I beheld the spread. A white tablecloth lay over the table. Tall seats were positioned around it—eight to be exact—and at each seat was set a plate, a teacup and a saucer. I ran my hand over the cloth and smiled at the silver-domed dishes in the center of the table. I looked behind me to find Rabbit, but he was nowhere in sight. Turning back to the table, I lifted the first silver dome to peek at what was underneath. My mouth watered when I saw strawberry tarts. Smiling in excitement, I skipped to the next. Victoria sponge. Desperate to see them all, I removed each cover—cucumber sandwiches, Bakewell tarts, Battenberg cake, carrot cake . . . so much cake! All of England’s finest delicacies.<br />
<br />
My favorites.<br />
<br />
A floorboard creaked behind me, and I turned to see Rabbit walking back into the room. I opened my mouth to ask him where everything came from, but then I spotted what he held in his hands.<br />
<br />
“Tea?” I asked as Rabbit placed the silver tray, which held a teapot, a jug of milk and a bowl of sugar, on the table. I walked closer and closed my eyes as I inhaled deeply. “Earl Grey,” I whispered, smelling my absolute favorite tea in the entire world.<br />
<br />
“Only ever Earl Grey for my little Dolly,” Rabbit confirmed and pulled out a chair for me. I sat down, and Rabbit tucked me in. He took the seat a few places down and gestured to the food. “Help yourself. After all, this tea party is in your honor.”<br />
<br />
A giddy laugh escaped my throat as I reached forward and carefully selected a variety of cakes and sandwiches. When I had filled my plate, I took the teapot and poured myself a cup. Rabbit watched me with a peculiar look on his face. His lip was hooked at the corner, and his eyes were . . . soft. His eyes were never soft, always hard and focused, but as he looked at me now, they were almost gentle.<br />
<br />
I swallowed, unsure what this strange feeling in my stomach was. I pressed my free hand to my stomach as a comfort against the strange tingling sensations inside. “Tea?” I offered, my voice barely above a whisper.<br />
<br />
Rabbit nodded; not a word escaped his mouth. His gaze became more intense as I moved beside him and poured the steaming liquid into his cup. As my arm neared him, I felt him stiffen in his seat. Only a sliver of air prevented our limbs touching. His breathing grew labored as he watched me pour.<br />
<br />
But we didn’t touch.<br />
<br />
Clearing my throat, I placed the teapot back on the tray and moved to take my seat once again. Just as I took a step, an image floated into my head. Of me and Rabbit. Lips touching. My entire body tensed.<br />
<br />
I heard Rabbit’s ragged breathing behind me. Goosebumps broke out along my body, chasing one another up my arms and up to the back of my neck. Shaking my head clear of the image, I sat back down.<br />
<br />
I raised my eyes and found Rabbit watching me intensely. I lifted my teacup toward my lips. Rabbit did the same, but just as the lip of the teacup almost reached his mouth, I shouted, “Rabbit!” He froze. “Your little finger!” I scolded. I lowered my cup and shook my head. “You cannot drink tea without raising your little finger, silly!”<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
Rabbit exhaled, then bowed his head. “You’re right, darlin’. How could I forget?”<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b></div>
</div>
</div>
Rule #1: No hot guys.<br />
It might sound ridiculous. I get it. It kind of is, but college was supposed to be my sanctuary. It was my place to start over. The rumors, the whispers, and the jealousy I endured through high school would all be gone.<br />
No one would know me at college.<br />
<br />
Rule #2: No drama.<br />
I’d major in pre-law. I’d make a few loyal friends. Everything would be easy breezy. No one was going to use me or hurt me. I wouldn’t let them.<br />
<br />
Rule #3: New year. New place. New me.<br />
Right?<br />
Wrong.<br />
And all because of Shay Coleman.<br />
<br />
Football captain and quarterback, he was the big guy on campus. The cocky guy in my political science class with a smirk. I hated him on sight . . .<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
. . . and he was about to break all my rules.<br />
<a name='more'></a><br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>BOOK REVIEW</b></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/34853951-hate-to-love-you"><br />Hate to Love You</a> by <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4851199.Tijan">Tijan</a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
My rating: <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/review/show/2107098314">5 of 5 stars</a></div>
<br />
<i>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</i><br />
<br />
When you think of Tijan, you think angst and pissed off heroines. For me, this book was exactly what I hoped for based on the fact that our heroine does not back down and stands up for what she wants. She's exactly the kind of character that only Tijan can do justice.<br />
<br />
<b>Kennedy Clarke</b> wants to go pre-law and completely ignore the male race in her first year of college. <b>Shay Coleman</b> wants to break down all of Kennedy's walls and slither his way in. What starts as a little study break could mean so much more for the standoffish freshman and the university's football star.<br />
<i><br /></i>
<i>He was love by so many.</i><br />
<i>He was wanted by so many.</i><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<i>
He confided in no one.</i></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
As always, Tijan's writing pulls you in and you cannot close her books until you hit that last page. I absolutely loved Kennedy and her character development. I know this book is just a stand alone, but I'm hoping for a second book (PLEASE TIJAN). Read this book and let me know what you thought about it!<br />
<br />
Overall, I'm giving this book <b>4.5 STARS out of 5.0 STARS</b>.<br />

<b><span style="font-size: x-large;">SYNOPSIS</span></b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>A first kiss that changed everything.</b><br />
<br />
Killian Kane. <br />
He was the most feared guy in high-school. <br />
Guarded. Angry. A fighter. <br />
But when I caught him watching me with his captivating green eyes I saw something more. Something protective and kind. <br />
<br />
He warned me to stay away from him.<br />
I did. <br />
Until I didn’t and he kissed me. A knee weakening, body tingling kiss that left me breathless. And scared the hell out of me.<br />
<br />
And then… <br />
He warned me never to come near him again or next time he wouldn’t let me go. <br />
<br />
That was eleven years ago. <br />
We aren't teenagers anymore. He has probably forgotten me. He’s a famous rock star now. I’m a dance instructor with a broken dream and desperate for a job. <br />
So, when we cross paths again I don't expect him to remember me. <br />
He does. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
And his warning eleven years ago? I'm about to find out exactly what that meant.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
I shouldn’t have remembered him.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
He was just a guy who walked through a restaurant. I didn't know his name. We never made eye contact. There was no connection between us at all.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
But I could feel him.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
The tingle down my spine. The command in his presence. The snap of tension in the air around him. That was the first time I saw him, and I was captivated.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
The second time was different.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
He was in the mysterious back elevator of my apartment building. Our eyes met for a fleeting second before the doors closed, and I was staggered. My breath was robbed. My senses on high alert. My body hummed.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
That was just the beginning.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
He was the leader of the mafia. I was about to fall in love with him, and his name…</div>

<br />
This was such a darn good mafia romance! Going into this book I had read the blurb a few weeks prior, so I did not remember what the book was truly about, so when Carter Reed came up, I was like <b>OMG! CARTER REEEEEEEED</b> and then realized the two books totally connected. But the awesome way Tijan writes makes it so the two Carter Reed books DO NOT have to be read in order for you to enjoy Cole. Cole is completely stand alone!!<br />
<br />
<b>Addison</b> is a grieving widow who needs a change in life. A freelance romance advice columnist, she knows it's time to move out of the house she shared with her deceased hubby and move into the extremely private and elite apartment complex known as the Mauricio, but little does Addison realize that the owner she's been dying to unveil could be closer than she thinks. <b>Cole</b> has lived a heart breaking childhood to early adulthood, but he has finally found the one person who can be by his side... until she finds out he's in the mafia.<br />
<br />
This book was Tijan GOLD. I have<i> </i><b>N E V E R </b>read a book from <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/4851199.Tijan" rel="nofollow" title="Tijan">Tijan</a> that I didn't like, so Cole was a book I completely loved-OF COURSE. I thought the chemistry between Addison and Cole was beautiful. Their relationship becomes such an anchor for them in Cole's dark and gloomy world. I just loved this book which is why I'm giving it <b>4.5 STARS out of 5 STARS</b>. Go read this book and let me know what you think!<br />
<br />
<i>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</i><br />

</span></div>
Once inside the elevator, I stood to one side, watching him. He returned my gaze.<br />
We still did not touch.<br />
My chest tightened, hoping no one would call the elevator at that moment. We sailed past the lobby, the second floor, and stopped at mine. I put in the code, and the doors opened to my home.<br />
I drew in a breath, filling my lungs again. God, it was time.<br />
Stepping out with shaky knees, I bypassed the light switch. The full moon lit up my entire floor. I went to the kitchen and paused at the island. “Did you want something to drink?” I caught sight of the tequila and wine on the counter. There was more than enough.<br />
Cole stepped up behind me and followed my gaze. “Were you going to have a party?” he asked, his breath coating the back of my neck.<br />
I shivered, closing my eyes for one delicious moment. “I stocked up. I thought a friend was coming over tonight.”<br />
His hand rested on my back, nudging my sweater aside to touch my skin. “He?”<br />
“She. Sia.” I looked over my shoulder. He was so close. “She stood me up for a date.”<br />
A faint smile showed. “I need to send her a thank-you card.”<br />
“Please don’t sign it.”<br />
“Why not?”<br />
I turned around, easing my back against the island. Cole placed his hands on either side of me, trapping me in place.<br />
“Because she’s slightly obsessed with you, though she’s in love with someone else now. She could circle back,” I joked.<br />
“Me?”<br />
“We saw you one night.”<br />
“When?” He leaned away, but his hands remained on the counter. It was like he was giving me breathing space on purpose.<br />
“At Gianni’s. We went there the night I moved in.”<br />
He didn’t move, but I could feel him pulling away. A protest started in my head, but I bit back the words. He didn’t reply. He was waiting for me instead.<br />
I continued, “You came in with a bunch of men and went upstairs. That was it.”<br />
His eyes narrowed. “Did you talk to anyone?”<br />
“What do you mean?”<br />
“The staff?”<br />
“About you?”<br />
“About anything.”<br />
My forehead wrinkled. “Sia networked with the hostess. They exchanged cards. Sia said the girl was a model. She recognized her from the Gala. That was it. Oh, well, another server sat with us for a drink later on. But they mostly talked with Sia about the Gala and about photographers—stuff like that.”<br />
He relaxed, his hands loosening their hold on the counter. I was scared to ask what he was so worried they’d told us.<br />
“I don’t know who you are.” I lifted a hand, placing it on his chest. His heart was racing, just like mine. My mouth parted in surprise. “If that’s what you’re worried about.”<br />
He glanced down at my hand and held still. He was thinking something over. I held my tongue, worried it was me, that he was second-guessing this night for us. I wanted to tell him there was nothing to worry about, but it sounded ridiculous. I really had no idea. So I waited it out, my heart pressing against my rib cage.<br />
When he looked back up, the hunger was in his eyes again—dark, primal, and more evident than ever. He took my hand and leaned in, closing the distance between us. With his other hand, he cupped the side of my face. “I wasn’t second-guessing this. I want you to know that.” His touch was tender.<br />
“What were you thinking about?”<br />
“Something else, but it wasn’t you.”<br />
“This is one of those moments where you wish you could tell me, but you can’t? Not yet?”<br />
The corner of his mouth lifted. His eyes moved from mine to my lips. “Something like that, yes.”<br />
“Mmmm-hmmm,” I started to tease, but then his head dipped down, and his lips were on mine.<br />
I gasped. The pleasure was immediate. His mouth was gentle, but as he felt my body’s reaction, he applied pressure. His touch grew more demanding, then I was kissing him back. I wanted more. Someone groaned. That was me.<br />
His hand slid around to the back of my neck. He held me in his grip as his mouth explored mine, opening over me and slipping inside. My hands grasped his shoulders, just holding on. All I could focus on was his tongue. I met his with mine and reveled in the sensation. But it wasn’t enough. Need shot through my whole body.<br />
My hands slid under his shirt and moved over his back and shoulders. His body was just as powerful as his presence. I felt the shift of his muscles. They trembled under my hands. The feeling was intoxicating. I had power over him, and I wanted more. I wanted to see how much power I actually had.<br />
Pulling back, I studied him.<br />
He was panting lightly. So was I.<br />
I could see him wondering what I was going to do, so I reached back to the counter and started to lift myself. His hands caught the backs of my thighs, and he lifted me the rest of the way. Now sitting on the edge of the island, my legs parted, and he was back between them. His mouth went right to mine.<br />
I couldn’t get over what I was doing. I didn’t care.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"></span></div>
I didn’t think I would care the next day, the day after, or however long this lasted. I had no clue. I only knew I had one night. One long night.<br />
<br />

There'd been storylines and characters in my head all my life, but it came to a boiling point one day and I HAD to get them out of me. So the computer was booted up and I FINALLY felt it click. Writing is what I needed to do. After that, I had to teach myself how to write. I can't blame my teachers for not teaching me all those years in school. It was my fault. I was one of the students that was wishing I was anywhere but at school! So after that day, it took me lots of work until I was able to put together something that resembled a novel. I'm hoping I got it right since someone must be reading this profile! And I hope you keep enjoying my future stories.</span></span></div>

<br />
<div style="text-align: start;">
<b>Two fractured hearts and a forbidden love they can’t deny.</b></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<i>You shouldn’t want what you can’t have…</i></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Faye Donovan has lost everything. After her parent’s tragic death, she’s whisked away from her home in Ireland when an unknown uncle surfaces as her new guardian.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Dropped smack-dab into the All-American dream, Faye should feel grateful. Except living with her wealthy uncle, his fashion-empire-owning wife, and their seven screwed-up sons is quickly turning into a nightmare—especially when certain inappropriate feelings arise.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Kyler Kennedy makes her head hurt and her heart race, but he’s her cousin.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
He’s off limits.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
And he’s not exactly welcoming—Kyler is ignorant, moody, and downright cruel at times—but Faye sees behind the mask he wears, recognizing a kindred spirit.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Kyler has sworn off girls, yet Faye gets under his skin. The more he pushes her away, the more he’s drawn to her, but acting on those feelings risks a crap-ton of prejudice, and any whiff of scandal could damage the precious Kennedy brand.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Concealing their feelings seems like the only choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
But when everyone has something to hide, a secret is a very dangerous thing.</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
******</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Full of scandal, dysfunctional families, teen soap-opera-style angst and drama, secrets and lies, mean girls and catfights, lust and love, book one in the unputdownable Kennedy Boys series will have you flipping the pages’ way beyond bedtime!</div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Only recommended to readers aged 17+ due to mature content and language.<br />

This book... Just <b>wow</b>.<br />
<br />
When I was approached to read and review this book, I barely skimmed the blurb, so I think that's why the whole "cousins getting it on" took me by surprise. To be honest, I'm glad I went into this book with a totally unbiased and open mind because Siobhan Davis pulled me in so quickly. The book felt a bit slow but towards the 30% mark, it picked up and I couldn't put it down until I finished the whole thing.<br />
<br />
<b>Faye</b> loses her parents due to a drunk driver and basically overnight she discovers that she has an uncle who lives in America with his eight teenage sons... That would make my head spin as well. When she moves to America to live with her only living relative, she learns how different America is to Ireland. And the move leads Faye to fall for her cousin, <b>Kyler</b>.<br />
<br />
This books was so enjoyable for me! I'm waiting for an ARC copy of the next book. I loved the writing style and the glimpse into so many characters' storylines. I am so glad I got the chance to review this book. I know you will not be disappointed! I'm rating this book <b><i>4 STARS out of 5 STARS</i></b>. Go get it now!<br />
<br />
<i>I voluntarily reviewed an advance, complimentary copy of this book as supplied by the author’s assistant. All opinions expressed are entirely my own.</i><br />

<b style="font-family: Times, 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b></div>
<i><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">*From International Bestselling authors Callie Hart and Lili St. Germain comes a tale of two families co-existing in a melting pot of violence, murder and drugs in the seedy underbelly of New York City*</span></i><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<b><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Hell’s Kitchen</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Theo and Sal Barbieri are brothers, tasked by their Mafioso father Roberto with a very clear purpose: kidnap Kaitlin McLaughlin. The beautiful daughter of Roberto’s Irish enemy. It’s high time Kaitlin was punished for her father’s sins—not to mention, her own.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">And Operation: Kidnap Kaitlin is a roaring success… until it isn’t. When Kaitlin escapes into the busy streets of New York City, it’s a race against the clock to find her before Sal and Theo become the hunted.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Zeth Mayfair has traded his life as a hitman for a quieter existence, but it isn’t long before the past catches up with him in the form of Roberto Barbieri. Will he succumb to the lure of power that Roberto is offering? Or will he retaliate by killing every last Barbieri in New York to get them off his back?</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Jason Ross is running. Woken in the night by a tip that the Gypsy Brothers are coming for him, he packs a bag and gets his girlfriend the hell out of dodge. Arriving in New York City in the midst of a heatwave is one thing, but being tailed by an entire drug cartel is another.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Worlds collide in Hell’s Kitchen as secrets come to light and sins are punished. Because we might be different in the light of day, but in the darkness, we’re all connected somehow.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i>Hell’s Kitchen is a serial comprising three volumes: </i>Hell’s Kitchen<i>, </i>Tribeca<i> and </i>Bleecker Street<i>. Volume One releases on March 3rd with a limited-time sale price of 99 cents.</i></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Callie has experienced many changes throughout her life, and gone through many ups and downs that <span style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"></span>have all worked towards shaping and molding her into the person she is today: fun loving, active, social, and hard working. The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span><span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.</span><br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><b><br /></b></i>
<i><b>Rebel and Sophia's story.</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i>
<i>The first of a </i>three part series<i>. This novel contains a small snippet which has already been released in the <b>Owned: An Alpha Anthology</b>, however it is followed by a full story installment.</i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i>
<i><b>Sophia</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Sometimes, you don't mean to become another person. Sometimes the choice is made for you, and pretending is the only thing that keeps you going. When Alexis Romera is taken and her kidnappers find her fake ID in her purse, she must become Sophia in order to keep her family safe. Revealing her real identity to the man she's sold to would be easy enough, but can she trust him? Hell bent on revenging the murder of his uncle, Rebel doesn't seem all that interested in playing things safe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">In fact, nothing about the secretive, dark and brooding MC president seems safe at all.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><i><br /></i>
<i><b>Rebel</b></i></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">What do you do when the man who raised you is murdered, and the only witness is kidnapped girl who's being sold as a sex slave? You buy her, of course. As president to the most powerful motorcycle club in America, Rebel isn't lacking in power. There are strings the man can pull, and entire criminal organizations and corporate businesses alike would fall to their knees. However, along with such power comes intense interest. The DEA have their eye fixed solely on the MC...and they're just waiting for Rebel to trip up.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Getting Sophia to testify is the only way to bring the Los Oscuros cartel down. The beautiful, dark haired, dark eyed woman is belligerent and uncooperative and unlikely to bend to his will, but Rebel has a few tricks up his sleeve to make her compliant--he'll charm her until she's bending over backwards to please him.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course, falling for her might cause a few hiccups along the way...</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><a href="http://tarynleesblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Find this Review at Taryn Lee's Book Blog</a><br /><br /><em>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</em><br /><br /><strong>BEWARE: I rant about Callie's other book series, so don't read this if you don't want little tidbits from it</strong><br /><br />So here's the thing... I abso-<em>freaking</em>-lutely LOVED <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/121272-blood-roses">Callie's Blood and Roses Series</a>. I stuck by that series through it all! I just loved the writing and Zeth and Sloane. So when Alexis came into the picture in B&R, I detested her. She seemed like a bad person because she was alive the whole time and just didn't contact Sloane; plus we were made to not like Rebel. Okay so let's just say Alexis/Sophia and Rebel were on one side of the line and I was on the other side. That being said, going into this book I was NERVOUS. I already had some mixed feelings about the hero/heroine, so I didn't think I would really like it... But boy was I wrong!!<br /><br /><strong>Alexis</strong> is taken when she tries to help a dying man. Now she's known as Sophia, thanks to that Fake ID she bought to go see a DJ when she was underage... <strong>Rebel</strong> had to become who he is today to protect himself and everything he has left. When he needs Soph to testify, he tries to reel her in as best he can, but little does he know his Sugar has some spice to her!<br /><br />So Rebel rocks and Sophia is kind of super defiant, and together they make me want them to have babies... like ASAP (yeah Callie I'm talking to you!!). I love that this book is only three parts. I love Callie but if she drags out another series into six books again, I'll likely throw my iPad against the wall. The ending isn't super cliffy so it's like a slow burn for what's going to come next. Overall, I'm giving this new series starter <strong>4 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Read by Taryn Lee on February 8, 2015<br />Reviewed by Taryn Lee on February 9, 2015<br /><a href="http://facebook.com/tarynleesblog" rel="nofollow">Taryn Lee's Book Blog on Facebook</a></span></div>

<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“It’s time for you to tell me your name.” She arches an eyebrow at me. I can just imagine her getting them waxed in some fancy fucking boutique beauty parlor in Seattle, run by Asian hipsters with shaved undercuts and thick glasses. She seems like the type. “Why do you want to know?” she asks, cockiness filling her voice. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“I’m asking because I need something to call you. And if you don’t tell me your name, I’m going to be forced to call you One Eighty-One. And I’m guessing you won’t like being called One Eighty-One.” </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Why would you call me that?” </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Because that’s the reference Hector Ramirez gave you when you uploaded your picture onto his skin site. Hector tags his girls chronologically. The first girl he sold was number one. The fifty-third girl he sold was tagged fifty-three. Using that logic, guess how many girls he sold before he tagged you one eight one?” </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“So a hundred and eighty other women came before me?” She looks like she’s going to throw up. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Exactly. And he hasn’t been caught. The police haven’t raided his place out there in the desert. No one has reported his website. No one came to rescue the one hundred and eighty other girls who came before you, and no one is coming for you, either. So if you want reminding of that every single time I call you one eight—“ </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Sophia!” She screws her eyes shut, clenching her jaw. “My name is fucking Sophia, motherfucker.” She spits out the words like they’re poison. When she looks at me again, I can see the fury burning in the dark depths of her dark brown eyes. She comes alive when she’s angry. A thrill of adrenalin stabs through me, sending mixed signals to my cock; provoking such a violent reaction from her is provoking an entirely different reaction from me. For the first time, I see her. Fucking Sophia. I don’t see her as a means to an end—a potential way to take down the bastard who killed my uncle. I see her. I see her as a woman, and she is beautiful. </span></blockquote>
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">“Alright, Sophia. It’s a pleasure to meet you.”</span></blockquote>

The only thing that has remained a constant throughout her life is writing. Creating characters who will tear your conscience in two is a favorite pastime of Callie’s. There are few real saints and sinners in her books; more often, the denizens of her stories are all very human. Broken, flawed, and always with the potential for redemption.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Times, Times New Roman, serif;">Despite the subject matter being markedly hot and heavy in comparison to the stories she wrote in elementary school, there will always be an element of fairytale to her work.</span><br />

<br /></div>
A guy next to her, whose hair was dirty blonde reached over and plucked the knife up. He grinned at her, “I should teach you how to throw these things, Rayna. That’d be hot. Hell yeah. That’s our next chapter. Rayna and Brady, warrior ninjas.”<br />
<br />
She groaned, covering her head with her hands. “Don’t get any ideas.”<br />
<br />
He perked up, inspecting the knife. “Oh yeah. I can see it. Viola would be our sensei. Your grandma would be all about that.”<br />
<br />
A girl with blonde hair sat on his other side and she grunted. “I could totally see that. Rayna, heads up. You’re going to learn how to kick ass in your next book.”<br />
<br />
Rayna just shook her head, then reached for her glass and downed it. She started sputtering immediately, coughing some of it out. “Oh man.” Her hand wiped at her eye. “That wasn’t water.”<br />
<br />
Logan, who’d been watching them and alternating so he was watching the vampire people laughed to himself. He said to Samantha, “She’s a book nerd down there. I bet you anything.” He studied the guy beside her. “Virgin. He took it from her.” He patted himself on the shoulder. “I’m damn good at figuring these people out.”<br />
<br />
“Okay! Everyone sit. Cake’s coming now.” The chef drew everyone’s attention once again. The vampire group migrated towards their seats and the chef nodded to the two male servers, who lifted their trays at the same time and started for the table. As they drew closer, they began placing small plates of cake in front of each person. They needed to take two more trips back to the counter before everyone had a piece of cake.<br />
<br />
The chef wandered to the end of the table closest to her. She gazed over every one sitting. They were all waiting. No one reached for their cake and the chef smiled, a tear coming to the corner of her eye. She nodded to the other end of the table, and as one, everyone’s heads turned to see who she was looking at.<br />
<br />
The guy wearing a suit, who Mason had said was Carter Reed, was holding his hand up. His glass in it and he waited until everyone picked up their glass. Then he raised his in the air. He drew attention without commanding it. He said, his voice had a quiet authority, “To the franchise. May we come together and continue growing.” He grinned back to the chef before he added, “We welcome any new members to our family.”<br />
<br />
Then he stood as he finished.<br />
<br />
Everyone rose around the table.<br />
<br />
All of them turned, all standing and looking towards the chef, who had her hands clasped over her mouth.<br />
<br />
“Salute.” That one word from Carter was the signal. They all lifted their glasses one last time and took a sip. After, they returned to their seats, but still didn’t eat. Everyone waited to see if anything more would be said.<br />
<br />
Then a chair was scraped backwards and a cup dropped from someone’s hands. Everyone turned to a far corner, where a girl had her hands cupped over her mouth in disbelief. She almost stumbled back from everyone, her eyes glued to the hallway behind the chef. “Jace,” she whispered, tears coming to her eyes. “My god.”<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b></div>
<b><br /></b>
<b>Georgie</b><br />
<br />
I lie to survive.<br />
<br />
Have since I was sixteen and my world fell into chaos. But I found a way to endure, or rather it found me. Now I’m a prisoner of my own doing, hiding behind a false mask so no one sees the truth. Not even the man I want but can’t have—Deck. But I messed up and the lies are spilling over, out of control.<br />
<br />
Deck is unrelenting and will settle for nothing less than the truth. He demands everything from me—<b>EVERYTHING</b>—even if it rips me apart.<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>DECK</b><br />
<br />
I kill for a living.<br />
<br />
Unyielding—It’s how I survive in my line of work. I bend people to my will…except Georgie.<br />
But that ends now.<br />
I've played her game for far too long, but not anymore. Now I think it's time we play mine.<br />

<em>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</em><br />
<br />
I want to be the Georgie in a Deck sandwich... sigh. You literally cannot get a more effed up story than this. I thought Tear Asunder was messed up but holy guacamole this is a roller coaster ride into the fires of hell and the ice cold terror of the artic. Yeah......<br />
<br />
<strong>Georgie</strong> has loved/hated <strong>Deck</strong> for as long as she can remember; ever since he delivered the news of the death of her brother. Now they're both grown adults, and instead of keeping to the shadows, he lets his girl know exactly how he feels about her late night [sex]capades, her abundant partying, and the lack of control she has on her life. But when Deck realizes Georgie's behavior is all a big, fat LIE, he knows it's time to do some digging.<br />
<br />
Ohhhmahhhgawddd. Give me some Deck and I'll be happy for the rest of my life. This book was CRAZY! A bunch of characters from Tear Asunder are in this and it bring some of the storylines together and links them and it's too good. Read this book!! I'm giving it <strong>4.5 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br />

<i>Sometimes losing yourself leads right to the place you were looking for...</i><br />

Secluded and quiet is exactly what Laney Walker is looking for when she decides to pack up and move across the country. It's what she wants, what she thinks she needs—until she meets Joe Boone.<br />
<br />
Contracted to replace the plumbing along the property, Joe is first to arrive and last to leave. And to Laney's surprising disappointment, he never has much to say.<br />
<br />
But the more Joe comes around, the more she learns about him and soon finds the man is as flawed as the house he's fixing.<br />
<br />
A fact that only seems to draw her closer to him.<br />

<a href="http://tarynleesblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Find this Review at Taryn Lee's Book Blog</a><br /><br /><em>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</em><br /><br />I really felt that this book was just a solid good read for me. I believe this is one of the first novels for this author, and if this is her debut then I cannot wait to see how she grows into this world of literature. For a first timer, this book read like a seasoned writer wrote this thing! This book was emotional and serious, but so lovable.<br /><br /><blockquote>

<strong>"Without another word, we settled back into our routine of him ignoring me and me wishing he wouldn't." </strong></div>

<br /><br /><strong>Laney</strong> got dumped. Well technically she did the dumping since she walked in on her fiancé cheating with her best friend... major burn. So what does Laney do? She up and leaves. Not just the man she thought she would be with for the rest of her life, but the town, city, and state. And now she's moved across the country to Big Bear, California to reestablish some sort of peace within her and her life. But during her glorious adventure she meets soul named <strong>Joe</strong> just as tortured as she is.<br /><br /><blockquote>

<strong>"Had I told him I wanted to bear his bearded babies? Did I say that out loud?" </strong></div>

</div>
<br /><br />My goodness this book lit me up! I really loved the struggle between Joe and Laney, but I wanted more detail. I felt there was so much more to be said, so when I got to the <em>The End</em> part, I felt a little disappointed that there wasn't more to their story. Do I want a second book... YES PLEASE. (hint**hint Ms. Morgan). I want more books about all the folks in Big Bear! I'm giving this book <strong>4 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Read by Taryn Lee on October 8, 2014<br />Reviewed by Taryn Lee on November 30, 2014<br /><a href="http://facebook.com/tarynleesblog" rel="nofollow">Taryn Lee's Book Blog on Facebook</a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

The cabin was dark and gloomy in the moonlight, its stairs even squeakier than mine. I slowly followed him up them, waiting until he flipped on the light before stepping inside.<br />
<br />
The decorum was what I would have expected—nonexistent. A plain brown couch was pressed up against the bare wood wall, a boxed-out TV sitting on a makeshift stand on the opposite wall with a set of rabbit ears on top. There were no curtains or throw pillows. No rugs, no runner on the tiny dining room table. But it was clean, and it was cool, and it smelled like him.<br />
<br />
My eyes fluttered closed as I breathed him in, the scent so overwhelming I felt myself sway. When I opened them again, he was gone.<br />
<br />
Glancing from side to side, I stepped further inside and peeked down the hallway, finding a bright light shining from an open door. I hesitantly started for it, smiling when I saw it was the bathroom. A towel and washcloth had been left out on the counter by the sink. I moved inside and closed the door, feeling around and then reaching up to find no lock.<br />
<br />
“Okay …” I mumbled to myself, turning back to the tub and twisting the handles until the temperature was perfect. Glancing back at the door, I quickly stripped out of my clothes, jumped inside and pulled the curtain shut behind me.<br />
<br />
The water was searing in the best sort of way, steaming up the room and loosening my sore muscles from a day of angry weed pulling. I could have stood under the hot spray all night, just basking in the forceful water pressure. This shower was so much better than Mona’s.<br />
<br />
Dipping my head back, I closed my eyes to wet my hair, hurriedly wiping the water from my face when I felt a brush of cool air against my legs.<br />
<br />
My heart pounded, thinking it was Joe, but it was only the air from the furnace blowing the shower curtain. I couldn’t imagine what I would have done if it had been him. The fact that I wanted to find out had me washing off a little quicker. I didn’t know if I was ready for him to see me naked.<br />
<br />
I dried off and got dressed as close as I could to the door in order to avoid that accident waiting to happen. If he did ever end up seeing me naked, I wanted to be prepared and not look like a drowned cat if I could help it.<br />
<br />
When I emerged from the bathroom, he was coming down the hallway, shirtless and with the button of his pants undone. I swallowed, unable to take my eyes off his zipper until he reached out for my towel.<br />
<br />
“Mind if I use that?”<br />
<br />
“Uh, yeah.” I handed it over. “I mean, not unless you do.”<br />
<br />
“Nope.” He slid past me and into the bathroom, setting my bag out in the hallway before cracking the door. I stood outside of it while I listened to him adjust the curtain and turn on the shower, trying to decide if I should just take off or not. I was getting ready to knock and tell him I was leaving when the water suddenly shut off, the shower curtain screeched and the door opened to reveal a mess of towel-dried brown hair and a shiny, wet chest.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></div>
Cunning. Sex. Pure nerve. Only this potent threesome can raise him to his rightful place as ruler of Manhattan's kink kingdom.<br />
<br />
Bouncing from bed to bed on the Upper East Side—handsomely paid in both bills and blackmail fodder—Kingsley Edge is brilliant, beautiful and utterly debauched. No carnal act or chemical compound can relieve his self-destructive apathy—only Søren, the one person he loves without limit or regret. A man he can never have, but in whose hands Kingsley is reborn to attain even greater heights of sin. He plans to open the ultimate BDSM club¬: a dungeon playground for New York's A-list that'll change the scene forever.<br />
<br />
The club becomes Kingsley's obsession—and he's enlisted some tough-as-nails help. His new assistant Sam is smart, secretive and totally immune to seduction (by men, at least). She and Kingsley make a wicked team. Still, their combined—and considerable—expertise in domination can't subdue the man who would kill their dream. The enigmatic Reverend Fuller won't rest until King's dream is destroyed. It's one man's sacred mission against another's….<br />

Tiffany's books inhabit a sexy shadowy world where romance, erotica and literature meet and do immoral and possibly illegal things to each other. She describes her genre as "literary friction," a term she stole from her main character, who gets in trouble almost as often as the author herself.<br />
She lives in Portland, Oregon. If she couldn't write, she would die.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></div>
Even salvation can be delivered through the love of the damned…<br />
<br />
Beauty can be a curse.<br />
<br />
Faith can be a cage.<br />
<br />
Only love can set you free.<br />
<br />
A few long weeks after being reluctantly ripped from the comforting embrace of her sacred prophet’s religious commune—the only life she has ever known—a terrified Delilah is thrust into a world enveloped by evil and swimming in sin.<br />
<br />
Steadfastly devout in her faith, and retaining the deep belief that her soul is innately tarnished as a branded ‘Cursed woman of Eve’, Delilah is determined to find her way home to her people in The Order and away from the corrupt and damned outlaw motorcycle club—The Hades Hangmen—who hold her at their secluded compound for her protection—a 'protection' she strongly resents.<br />
<br />
Delilah yearns to return home, convinced that only amongst her own people, and under the holy guidance of the Lord’s revealed prophet, can her Satan-spawned soul be truly saved. Conditioned her entire life to believe she is a witch... a life-long temptress… the devil’s whore... Delilah increasingly resents her beautiful face, her shapely body and her sensuous effect on men. But when a man of the motorcycle club—a deeply sinful yet stunningly beautiful man—is charged with her care, Delilah begins to see that this dangerous and moralless sinner from the 'outside' may offer her something she did not know could truly exist: unconditional love.<br />
<br />
Kyler ‘Ky’ Willis loves his life: a daily abundance of brotherhood, liquor, the freedom of the open-road and—best of all—his pick of hot women. Raised a biker brat and now VP of the most notorious MC in the States, Ky has no shortage of club sluts warming his bed; a situation he takes full advantage of… until a certain blonde enters his life… a gorgeous pilgrim-blonde he can’t get out of his head… a pilgrim-blonde he and his club recently-rescued from some backward religious cult… and a pilgrim-blonde he’s been ordered to keep the hell away from and his whorish hands off.<br />
<br />
When yet another in a lengthy line of drunken blunders forces Ky to reluctantly take charge of the pilgrim-blonde’s care, he realizes that there could be more to this woman than just supermodel looks and a stacked set of tits. He begins to see that she could be the woman who could do the impossible—tame his wild ways and capture his reluctant heart.<br />
<br />
But the unyielding bonds of Lilah’s past are strong, her ‘people’ determined and, with a new Prophet in charge and hell bent on revenge, they are mightily reluctant to let her go...<br />

Tillie Cole is a Northern girl through and through. She originates from a place called Teesside on that little but awesomely sunny (okay I exaggerate) Isle called Great Britain. She was brought up surrounded by her English rose mother — a farmer’s daughter, her crazy Scottish father, a savagely sarcastic sister and a multitude of rescue animals and horses.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></div>
<i><b>All she needed was a job…</b></i><br />
The last thing twenty-four year old grad student Angie Roberts needs is to worry about her new boss’s father. After all, she’s never even seen him. He remains sequestered upstairs in a house that looks like it should be the main feature in an episode of Hoarders. She had no idea the house was such a dump when she took the job. But she’s concerned about the safety and health of the old man living under such horrid conditions.<br />
<br />
<i><b>What she got was a mystery…</b></i><br />
Despite warnings not to venture upstairs, she wanders up to the second floor. What she sees is shocking. The man she finds is a gorgeous, sexy, middle-aged man-- and he's stepping out of the shower. But something is definitely not right. Why would this wealthy, handsome man live in a house in such disrepair while his nine-teen year old son resides in a lavish penthouse? Why does he hide away from society? Why does he come to her rescue and then run away?<br />
<br />
<i><b>What she discovered was heartbreaking…</b></i><br />
Angie learns that forty-four year old Grayson Whitmore suffers from schizophrenia. Paranoid, he retreats into his own world.<br />
<br />
<b><i>What she ended up with was a treasure…</i></b><br />
Angie is determined to get through to him. They form a friendship that blazes into an inconceivable love fired with erotic passion. Angie must now come to Grayson’s rescue because the wicked that has been perpetrated on him is unconscionable. First, though, she must gain the trust of a man whose mind does not allow for such a thing.<br />

<br /><br />Schizophrenia and a hot guy wrapped in one?... If that doesn't blow you away then get out of here! Lisa Eugene is one of my favorite authors of all time, and this book just blew me away. When I found out she was writing this book, I jumped on the ARC train as soon as I could because I knew with this sensitive subject she would not disappoint... and she did NOT!<br /><br /><blockquote>

<strong>"I was in sort of a relationship. Only too bad the other party might not know it yet."</strong></div>

</div>
<br /><br />Trying to get through college without resorting to taking her clothes off, <strong>Angie</strong> answers an ad to clean house, literally. When she's been given the job of cleaning out a beautifully decayed home in New York City, Angie's been given one warning: DO NOT talk to the man who lives upstairs. Angie's always been a curious one, but she follows these orders... up until one day when she just cannot help herself. And she's about to get a rude awakening about the man living upstairs... and how hot he is... and how much older he is... and how beautiful his soul is. His name's <strong>Grayson</strong>.<br /><br /><blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
<strong>"I wondered why he always felt the need to tell me that. I wasn't going anywhere. Ever." </strong></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br /><br />Overall, I just have no words to describe this masterpiece. Just read it. It's kind of short, which for me was a setback because I like longer books that keep me engaged. I wanted more Grayson and Angie by the end, which is the desired effect normally. I really enjoyed how the book is basically about just the two of them. There aren't a lot of supporting characters, so its main focus was Angie and Grayson. I'm giving this book <strong>5 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Read by Taryn Lee on September 27, 2014<br />Reviewed by Taryn Lee on October 25, 2014<br /><a href="http://facebook.com/tarynleesblog" rel="nofollow">Taryn Lee's Book Blog on Facebook</a><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">EXCERPT</b></div>
Early Sunday morning, I crawled out of bed in search of Grayson. I discovered him upstairs in the room with the books. They were piled all around him as he scratched at something on the floor with an old shovel. The room was saturated with an early morning chill, so thick I could feel it seeping through my skin. I hugged my torso, scrubbing my palms up and down my arms. I approached him hesitantly and asked what he was doing. My heart was in my throat because I never knew what to expect with Grayson. He stopped and leaned against the handle, his cloudy gaze finding my face. He was fully dressed. He must have gotten dressed again after we’d made love earlier.<br />
<br />
“Digging,” he acknowledged casually. “Digging a trap.”<br />
<br />
I swallowed hard, emotion stacking like bricks in my chest. I shook my head, my mind grasping for purchase, trying to understand. “A trap for what, Grayson?”<br />
<br />
“Danger. I have to be prepared. I have to protect us.”<br />
<br />
I reached out a hand, trying to keep it steady. “You’re safe, Grayson.”<br />
<br />
His gaze shifted to my proffered hand, but he didn’t move. He didn’t believe me. Fear and skepticism drew a roadmap of worry on his face. His jaw squared and he tightened his lips into a brittle line. I watched his body uncurl as he grabbed the shovel and silently started scraping at the floor again. That’s when I saw it. There was a large, jagged crater in the dusty wood that must have been covered up by the scattered books. It was directly over the small cracks I’d seen in the ceiling downstairs, the network of spider veins I’d noticed soon after starting here. I wondered how long he’d been working at this trap. I could already see exposed beams and fluffy insulation. If he kept this up, eventually he’d put a hole right through the wood floor.<br />
<br />
“Go back to bed, Angie.”<br />
<br />
“I’m not going anywhere. I’m staying with you, Grayson,” I said sternly, plopping myself down on the floor next to him.<br />
<br />
He stopped again and stared at me, his blue eyes almost cobalt in the gray dawn. His hair was a loose mane framing his face, giving him an unruly look. “You’ll be tired. You haven’t gotten much sleep.”<br />
I squeezed my eyes shut, hurting, thinking of the reason I’d been up most of the night. We’d held each other, made exquisite love, bathed in a temporary utopia where I could pretend he was okay.<br />
<br />
But Grayson wasn’t okay, and as I spent more time with him, I realized the extent of his fractured thoughts. My Grayson was funny and brilliant. My Grayson was tender and passionate. My Grayson could melt my heart with the tiniest smile. But this man, too, was my Grayson, a man who was sometimes out of touch with reality, who lived in the distorted world concocted by his brain. It was a world of doubt, fear, and distrust.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b></div>
<br />
<i>Sometimes losing yourself leads right to the place you were looking for...</i><br />
<br />
Secluded and quiet is exactly what Laney Walker is looking for when she decides to pack up and move across the country. It's what she wants, what she thinks she needs—until she meets Joe Boone.<br />
<br />
Contracted to replace the plumbing along the property, Joe is first to arrive and last to leave. And to Laney's surprising disappointment, he never has much to say.<br />
<br />
But the more Joe comes around, the more she learns about him and soon finds the man is as flawed as the house he's fixing.<br />
<br />
A fact that only seems to draw her closer to him.<br />

The cabin was dark and gloomy in the moonlight, its stairs even squeakier than mine. I slowly followed him up them, waiting until he flipped on the light before stepping inside.<br />
<br />
The decorum was what I would have expected—nonexistent. A plain brown couch was pressed up against the bare wood wall, a boxed-out TV sitting on a makeshift stand on the opposite wall with a set of rabbit ears on top. There were no curtains or throw pillows. No rugs, no runner on the tiny dining room table. But it was clean, and it was cool, and it smelled like him.<br />
<br />
My eyes fluttered closed as I breathed him in, the scent so overwhelming I felt myself sway. When I opened them again, he was gone.<br />
<br />
Glancing from side to side, I stepped further inside and peeked down the hallway, finding a bright light shining from an open door. I hesitantly started for it, smiling when I saw it was the bathroom. A towel and washcloth had been left out on the counter by the sink. I moved inside and closed the door, feeling around and then reaching up to find no lock.<br />
<br />
“Okay …” I mumbled to myself, turning back to the tub and twisting the handles until the temperature was perfect. Glancing back at the door, I quickly stripped out of my clothes, jumped inside and pulled the curtain shut behind me.<br />
<br />
The water was searing in the best sort of way, steaming up the room and loosening my sore muscles from a day of angry weed pulling. I could have stood under the hot spray all night, just basking in the forceful water pressure. This shower was so much better than Mona’s.<br />
<br />
Dipping my head back, I closed my eyes to wet my hair, hurriedly wiping the water from my face when I felt a brush of cool air against my legs.<br />
<br />
My heart pounded, thinking it was Joe, but it was only the air from the furnace blowing the shower curtain. I couldn’t imagine what I would have done if it had been him. The fact that I wanted to find out had me washing off a little quicker. I didn’t know if I was ready for him to see me naked.<br />
<br />
I dried off and got dressed as close as I could to the door in order to avoid that accident waiting to happen. If he did ever end up seeing me naked, I wanted to be prepared and not look like a drowned cat if I could help it.<br />
<br />
When I emerged from the bathroom, he was coming down the hallway, shirtless and with the button of his pants undone. I swallowed, unable to take my eyes off his zipper until he reached out for my towel.<br />
<br />
“Mind if I use that?”<br />
<br />
“Uh, yeah.” I handed it over. “I mean, not unless you do.”<br />
<br />
“Nope.” He slid past me and into the bathroom, setting my bag out in the hallway before cracking the door. I stood outside of it while I listened to him adjust the curtain and turn on the shower, trying to decide if I should just take off or not. I was getting ready to knock and tell him I was leaving when the water suddenly shut off, the shower curtain screeched and the door opened to reveal a mess of towel-dried brown hair and a shiny, wet chest.<br />

She writes them for you and hopes you enjoy them as much as she enjoys yours.<br />

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
<i><b>Warning</b>: Graphic sex and violence. Age 18+ only</i></div>
</div>
<i>It is recommended to read after Deliver, but it can be read as a stand-alone.</i><br />
<br />
Her life is like a prison cell.<br />
A self-made, to-hell-with-the-free-world existence that locks from the inside.<br />
Stop judging. Her agoraphobia doesn’t define her. It simply keeps her safe.<br />
<br />
He belongs in a prison cell.<br />
The 6x8, make-me-your-bitch variety that locks from the outside.<br />
But he’s free. To hunt. To take. To break.<br />
And he just found a sexy new toy.<br />
<br />
Capturing her is the easy part. Her fucked-up mind, however, makes him question everything he does next.<br />
But he’s a determined bastard. If all goes his way, this will hurt like hell.<br />

<a href="http://tarynleesblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Find this Review at Taryn Lee's Book Blog</a><br /><br /><em>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</em><br /><br />Talk about getting the two craziest people in the room and being like okay mate with each other... <em>SAY WAH!?</em> This book was a cluster of crazy that I freaking loved! This is the very first book I've ever read and it is the second in the <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/series/124986-deliver">Deliver Series</a>. So with that note, I believe reading book one is probably helpful, but if you don't read Book 1 it's no bid deal!<br /><br /><strong>Amber</strong> can't step outside. She knows they're watching her. She knows that if one hair isn't in the right place or her posture isn't poised perfectly then everyone will see her for the failure she truly is. <strong>Van</strong> doesn't believe he deserves the light. He's deemed himself black to his very core. But one night these two are going to stumble upon each other and possibly find everything they need to become human again.<br /><br />Overall, DANG. What a roller coaster ride that I will gladly adventure again and again! Pam Godwin's realm from which she creates her characters is insane! But it's in these characters who are so messed up in their heads, that you start to get the feels for them and their struggles. I rooted for Van and Amber until the very end!! I'm giving this book <strong>5 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Read by Taryn Lee on September 27, 2014<br />Reviewed by Taryn Lee on October 24, 2014<br /><a href="http://facebook.com/tarynleesblog" rel="nofollow">Taryn Lee's Book Blog on Facebook</a></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div class="p1">
He stalked toward her, mirroring the tilt of her head, knees and shoulders loose, and his gaze holding her prisoner. A breath away, he paused, soaking in the subtleties of her tipped-up chin, parting lips, and glossy but resolute eyes.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
With the next breath, he launched, hands on her jaw, fingers spread around the back of her head. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
His elbows dropped, shoulders raised, and he yanked her to him, lifting her on tiptoes, guiding her mouth, taking it. His grip twisted through her hair as he drew in her upper lip and shoved her against the fridge, following her with the weight of his body.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
The kiss went fucking wild, their lips mashing in a frantic battle. His tongue plunged her mouth, attacking, thrusting in and out, possessing her movements, owning her. Breath for breath, lick after lick, he ate at her mouth, tasting, devouring.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
He dropped his hands to her breasts, squeezing ruthlessly as he rolled his cock against her cunt. </div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
His tongue tingled, his skin burned, and his head swam. God, she was a drug, and he was so fucking high.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
She gripped his biceps, bit at his lips, and threw her arms over his shoulders, her fingers scratching the fuck out his back. He shuddered, loving it, but he was in control.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Reaching back, he grabbed her wrists and slammed them above her head. Their bodies ground together, his forearms pressing hers to the fridge, their tongues dancing and clashing. Chest-to-chest, hips fused together, he flexed his ass, dry humping her like a horny teenager.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
Jesus, fuck, he didn't care. He wanted her.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
He leaned back to study her face and found strong smoldering eyes, sharp breaths, and swollen wet lips. Whatever she saw in his expression made her mouth chase his and her fingers curl around his hands. They kissed endlessly, fueling the fire and pushing his control long past the point of discomfort before pulling back and starting all over again.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<div class="p1">
When he broke the kiss with a hand on her jaw, they panted as one, mouths open and so close their bottom lips brushed. She peered at him through lowered lashes, and he stared back in awe. What trembled between them wasn't an <i>if</i>? Or even a <i>how hard</i>? Those were foregone. The question they shared was simple.</div>
<div class="p2">
<br /></div>
<br />
<div class="p1">
<i>Ready?</i></div>

<b style="font-size: xx-large;"><br /></b></div>
<strong><em>Abducted at eighteen. Held captive for 15 months.</em></strong><br />
<br />
It reads like one of those headlines. And yes, I did it. I stole her. Nora, with her long dark hair and silky skin. She’s my weakness, my obsession.<br />
<br />
I’m not a good man. I never pretended to be one. She can love me, but she can’t change me.<br />
<br />
I can, however, change her.<br />
<br />
My name is Julian Esguerra, and Nora is mine to keep.<br />
<br />
***<em>Keep Me</em> is the sequel to <em>Twist Me</em>, told from Nora and Julian’s POV.***<br />

<a href="http://tarynleesblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Find this Review at Taryn Lee's Book Blog</a><br /><br /><em>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</em><br /><br />I waited what felt like forever for this book! I knew at the end of Twist Me that there had to be more for Nora and Julian... and there is! Beware! Read <a href="http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17676198.Twist_Me" title="Twist Me by Anna Zaires">Twist Me</a> before Keep Me. The story builds even more than the first. The first left me feeling in love with Julian, but this book is a rude awakening to the darkness inside him.<br /><br /><strong>Nora</strong>'s lover/kidnapper/best-thing-ever/scary-arms-dealer has come back for her. For months, Nora thought <strong>Julian</strong> was gone from this world. She grieved for her kidnapper turned beau. But now Julian's back and he's never letting go of his captive, Nora. Whether she voluntarily goes or he needs to drug her again, Julian's bringing her back with him to Colombia to start their lives together: as captive and captor. When plans go awry, it's time for Nora to save her man from a crueler fate than death.<br /><br />Overall, Anna Zaires makes me happy like no other. I love her writing and I love how she writes her characters. At the end of every book I want more and more and more because I'm a greedy little reader!! I'm giving this book <strong>4.5 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>. I know that there MUST be another book because I might cry if Mrs. Zaires doesn't write one!

<em>Julian's POV</em></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<em><br /></em></div>
“Are you all right?” There is a concerned expression on Nora’s face as she reaches up to touch the area above my left ear. Her slender fingers are gentle on my scalp. “Does it still hurt?”<br />
<br />
Her touch sends pleasure streaking down my spine. I want this from her. I want her to care about my well-being. I want her to love me even though I stole her freedom—even though, by all rights, she should hate me.<br />
<br />
I have no illusions about myself. I’m one of those men they show on the news—the ones that everyone fears and despises. I took a young woman because I wanted her and for no other reason.<br />
<br />
I took her and I made her mine.<br />
<br />
I make no excuses for my actions. I feel no guilt either. I wanted Nora, and now she’s here with me, looking at me like I’m the most important person in her world.<br />
<br />
And I am. I am exactly what she needs now . . . what she craves. I will give her everything, and I will take everything from her in return. Her body, her mind, her devotion—I want it all. I want her pain and her pleasure, her fear and her joy.<br />
<br />
I want to be her entire life.<br />
<br />
“No, it’s fine,” I say in response to her earlier question. “It’s almost healed.”<br />
<br />
She pulls her fingers away, and I catch her hand, not ready to forego the pleasure of her touch. Her hand is slim and delicate in my grasp, her skin soft and warm. She tries to tug it away reflexively, but I don’t let her, my fingers tightening around her small palm. Her strength is insignificant compared to mine; she can’t make me release her unless I chose to let her go.<br />
<br />
She doesn’t really want me to let her go, anyway. I can feel the excitement rising within her, and my body hardens, a dark hunger awakening within me again. Reaching across the table, I slowly and purposefully unbuckle her safety belt.<br />
<br />
Then I stand up, still holding her hand, and lead her to the bedroom at the back of the airplane.<br />

Anna Zaires fell in love with books at the age of five, when her grandmother taught her to read. She wrote her first story shortly thereafter. Since then, she has always lived partially in a fantasy world where the only limits were those of her imagination. Currently residing in Florida, Anna is happily married to Dima Zales (a science fiction and fantasy author) and closely collaborates with him on all their works.<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/proxy/AVvXsEgFv2i7Q6rgyrcW_dHztu2AGp9j68pmbaNfQD4wUA9_EtM1qpP337Pyn-NK2EchOiPFbZgVSiPF-kbXovUsLkfBwKY4dA-rrfEjrR8iQbBqMCk5FFTrXVNwVe1c2iXTvnj2aKx7J2NhhVrB5cGHteIMJSgoCRLFALnFpDDs1HG9X8Mkd3THFj6NsGI=" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img alt="6550220" border="0" class="aligncenter size-thumbnail wp-image-11643" src="http://www.readlovelust.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/6550220-150x150.jpg" height="200" width="200" /></a>After graduating from the University of Chicago with a degree in Economics, Anna spent eight years on Wall Street analyzing stocks and writing research reports. In 2013, she became a full-time author, pursuing her lifelong dream of writing romance novels.<a href="http://www.readlovelust.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/05/6550220.jpg" style="clear: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><span style="color: black;"></span></a><br />
<br />
Dima Zales is the love of her life and a huge inspiration in all aspects of her writing. Every book Anna writes is a product of their unique collaborative process.<br />
<br />
In addition to reading and writing, Anna enjoys drinking tea (coconut oolong, anyone?), watching addictive TV shows, and discussing book ideas during long walks with her amazing husband.<br />
<br />
She loves hearing from her readers, so please don't hesitate to contact her through her website or connect with her on Facebook, where she hangs out way too often. Also, please visit her husband and collaborator, Dima Zales, at <a href="http://www.dimazales.com/" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.dimazales.com</a> and check out their fantasy and science fiction books.</div>

<em>Oh Callie. Callie. Callie.</em> I just love you. I fangirl over you on a daily basis. You have seriously wrapped up an amazing series in 129 pages and for that I thank you with a big cyber huggie! This series made me scream, cry, get all hot and bothered, and just go bananas!! Perfect ending to a perfect series!<br />

<br />
<br />
<strong>Zeth</strong> and <strong>Sloane</strong> are pretty much screwed at the start of book 6 when DEA agent Lowell and Charlie Holsan (separately of course) are after them. With so much crap just being thrown at them, Sloane's ready to take off forever. And Zeth is about to join her. But they need to kill Charlie and get Lowell off their butts, so it's time to bring in a little... <em>collateral</em>. <---- br="" i="" there="" went="" yes.=""></----><br />

<br />
Overall, I feel like if you've gotten this far, why wouldn't you read this book??? It sums everything up, and you'll be left wanting Zeth's babies, but did you really think that wouldn't happen? Yeah, I knew we were on the same wavelength. I'm so excited to see what Callie Hart is going to write next, because this series was deep and rough and sexy, and Callie writes so well that I'm just so anxious. I'm giving this book <strong>5 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br />

<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b>SYNOPSIS</b></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: x-large;"><b><br /></b></span></div>
<div>
<em><strong>SOMEONE IS ABOUT TO BREAK.</strong></em></div>
Take one spunky tattoo artist, a hardcore badass cowboy, and watch the sparks ignite into a firestorm when one wants to get married and the other is holding out...for sex.<br />
One scorching kiss too many and Sommer Kincaid sets her sights on breaking Rory McLemore. She's been in love this bad boy since high school with his infuriating rule about NO SEX before marriage. Well that horrible rule is about to go down. All the way down.<br />
Especially after Rory gives Sommer a sizzling taste from his spank bank, and suddenly there is no stopping them from exploring each other...wherever and whenever, doing everything under the sun except actual penetration. Talk about frustrating!<br />
From holding out, Sommer is ready to give in. On the verge of saying 'yes' to his marriage proposal, Sommer is threatened with covering her dad's gambling debts. When she gets an offer she can't refuse out in L.A. and the means to make some serious cash, she heads for the coast rather than risk involving Rory in her rapidly imploding life.<br />
As these two hardheaded lovers are forced to the edge, their love is put to the test.<br />
Now it's up to Rory to stake his claim in Tinseltown and prove to Sommer, he's the ultimate bad boy and she's not going to end up as the girl that got away.<br />
<br />
<em><strong>WARNING: Filled with badass McLemore cowboys, spunky bad girls, a few variations of hardcore rocker Romeos. Be advised~Breaking gives a new definition for hot-off-the-charts romance.</strong></em><br />

<a href="http://tarynleesblog.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Find this Review at Taryn Lee's Book Blog</a><br /><br /><em>A gifted copy was provided by the author for an honest review.</em><br /><br />What to say about this book: <em>it's different</em>. The good kind of different. I love those special books when author's skip the meeting of the two lovers and it shows them trying to deal with a real world issue that's about to put them in the ringer. It's not always about the lovey dovey hearts and flowers but the ever after where the hero and heroine have to coexists day to day with each other.<br /><br /><strong>Sommer Kincaid</strong> has been in love with her boyfriend, <strong>Rory McLemore</strong>, for as long as she can remember, but now they're both at a stalemate: she wants to lose hers and his Vcard, but he wants her to marry him first. Talk about a dance that is never going to end. Som is ready to play dirty, but Rory doesn't want her to end up being just another product of McLemore shame gone wrong, so he wants a ring on his girl's finger and he's ready to do just about anything for it.<br /><br />Overall, I freaking loved Sommer. Finally an author makes a tattoo artist who doesn't have any tattoos (except one small one)!! It helps me connect way more than I would have if Sommer had been someone so not me. When you think about it, these two are just babies compared to all the other hitched couples in their lives, so this is their chance at growing up. I'm giving this book <strong>4 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>. <br /><br />~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~<br />Read by Taryn Lee on September 21, 2014<br />Reviewed by Taryn Lee on October 5, 2014<br /><a href="http://facebook.com/tarynleesblog" rel="nofollow">Taryn Lee's Book Blog on Facebook</a></div>

This is a team effort between a husband and a wife. One was a teacher, now turned into writer, and just got into cover and interior book design which is a whole other fascinating world.

<b style="font-size: xx-large;">SYNOPSIS</b><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Everything done in darkness, will eventually be brought into the light.</div>
</div>
<br />
I ran, but all it did was keep me one step ahead of my past. I tried to start over; new name, new identity. But you can't change your soul.<br />
A fresh start at college was just what I needed. For a while, it worked. I was the party girl, the one that seemed confident, but it was a lie.<br />
When guys kissed me--I felt only pain.<br />
When they touched me--Nothing but fear.<br />
<br />
Deep inside, every girl wants to be the beauty in the story, to find someone that will see you as their world.<br />
But the truth? I was the beast. And as much as I wanted redemption, I wasn't fool enough to think I'd ever get it.<br />
Until he walked into my life.<br />
<br />
I wasn't prepared to fall for someone. My scars were too deep, the wounds too raw. But he offered me peace, he offered me security. I should have known it was just another lie--I should have known that falling in love with my professor was a bad idea.<br />
But I was powerless to stop myself from falling.<br />
And he was powerless to catch me.<br />
<br />
Because the darkness finally caught up to me, and as fate would have it, a cruel twist almost bled me dry. But I'm stronger than I knew. I'm stronger than you think.<br />
You think you know my story, but you don't....after all everyone has Shame in their lives-- and I'm no longer afraid to show you mine.<br />

<br />
<br />
I love Kirsten and Wes, Saylor and Gabe, and FINALLY we are getting Lisa's story. I'm a big fan of RVD and her New Adult work, so this book for me just ROCKED! Even though the synopsis makes this feel like a forbidden student-teacher, don't expect the cliche story because this is more than that.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<strong>"Everyone was excited for the future. Everyone but me." </strong></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
<strong>Lisa</strong> holds a tragic story within her. No one knows the truth, except Gabe, the only person she'd ever been able to trust, but even he's unable to know the extent. All Lisa wants is for the past to stay locked up or else she doesn't know how she could possibly continue with the guilt she carries 24/7. When her professor, <strong>Tristan</strong>, turns out to look like someone from her past, she's not only intrigued but realizing that maybe it's time to let the past come out... if only it were that easy.<br />
<br />
<blockquote>
</blockquote>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
<strong>"You don't realize what you have until it's completely ripped away from you" </strong></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both;">
</div>
<br />
<br />
Overall, RachVD rocks this AGAIN!! Seriously this storyline from the first book to the last is a piece of genius work! Tristan just tears these walls down for Lisa. And the whole time, I'm yelling in my head for them to tell each other about their past, but of course it ended in Rachel Van Dyken style: utter perfection with me begging for another one! I'm giving this book <strong>5 STARS out of 5 STARS</strong>.<br />
