Release Boost: Submissive Lies by Shane Starrett




Title: Submissive Lies
Author: Shane Starrett
Genre: Erotic Romance with themes of infidelity
Release Date: August 10, 2019



Blurb

Thomas was everything a woman should want. Smart, sweet, gorgeous... but that first spark I’d felt between us had fizzled. There’s something wrong with me, something broken. Or... at least I thought it was broken. Then I met Steve. We went from spark to raging inferno with one flick of his eyebrow, one dangerous smile, and now all I can think about is the side of myself I’d tried so hard to lock away. He’s everything Thomas isn’t. He’s everything I’ve been missing. Fire and passion... and dominance. If I was a good girl, a vanilla girl, I could have been happy with Thomas. But now that I’ve met Steve, I know that’s impossible.

My name is Jen. I am a submissive.

I’ve deceived everyone around me about who I am, and I’ve lied to myself. But this time I won’t.

This time I will choose happiness... even if it hurts.

Excerpt

“Okay. Jen.” Thomas' shoulders relaxed in another small release of tension as he gave a slight chuckle. “just for future reference, you might want to think of another way of starting a conversation right after we’ve had sex other than ‘Can we talk?’ followed by ‘Have I ever told you about my past lovers?’”
“Ugh.” I slumped back a bit, groaning. “This is getting all twisted around…”
He laughed, then reached down, kissing the top of my head. “It’s fine. Just tell me what this is about.”
“In my past relationships, I…” I paused, letting out a small sigh. “Well, there have been certain things about them that were…well, aspects of them that have included…umm…” I wasn’t sure exactly how to approach this. This was not a conversation I’d ever thought I was going to need to have with him and coupled with the fact that the discussion had already gotten off to an awkward start, I was quickly beginning to lose my resolve to continue. However, Thomas was patient and didn’t press me.
“Certain,” I picked up where I had stopped. “…certain, uh, what people would call … kinky things.” I looked up at him, hopeful, expectant, and saw his expression change from mild uncertainty to one of bemusement.
“Kinky things?”
“Yeah, you know, kinky…sexual things.”
“Okay.” Thomas frowned, his brows knitting together. He was deep in lawyer mode, and I could almost see his brain attacking this. “Are we talking about things like the toys in your drawer?” He made a slight motion towards the nightstand on my side of the bed.
“Well,” I pursed my lips together, taking a deep breath, trying not to let my frustration show. “Those could be considered part of it, I suppose, but what I’m referring to are things that would be a little more…pronounced than that.”



Author Bio


Shane Starrett has spent twenty-five years writing steamy, erotic technical documents (okay, the erotic part is probably a bit of a stretch) for major companies in the live events industry. His first novel, Submissive Lies, was long in coming, but with guidance from his long-time beta reader of 30 years (Ms. Starrett), it is now complete and available. When he isn’t writing, which isn’t often, he can be found hiking trails up and down the Sierra Nevada’s, and the coastal range in Southern California.

Book Blurb:

Looking for the ultimate summer treat? Try this recipe for A ROCK AND A HARD PLACE!

First layer! 1. In one bowl, pour one dark, devilish billionaire and one smirking, ex-SEAL charmer. 2. Stir in one curvy, innocent blonde with student loans and a crazy idea of how to pay them off. 3. Mix all three until combined. Beat at medium speed until frothy. 4. Pour into a prepared marriage of convenience. Set the oven to “secret baby.” 5. When half-baked, remove from heat and poke holes in it. Second layer! 6. Whip together a sexy single dad and a sassy waitress until smooth and creamy. 7. Add a pinch of little girl cuteness and a dash of creepy stalker. 8. Pour batter over first layer in pan. Don’t worry if the pan seems too small—the contents are supposed to be over the top. 9. Season liberally with spicy situations, salty language, and sweet moments. 10. Finish baking at a high heat until the happy ending buzzes. Enjoy while hot and fresh but be careful not to burn your fingers and mouth.

What a sexy, funny, witty read! Full of instalove and smoking sexy, Nikky Kay can make you blush!  The characters are fun and well written, the storylines, yep LINES, are interesting and a great lead to make you keep reading, well, aside from the sexy, LOL.  I've gotta come out and tell ya there's some MFM (yessssss)!!!  but not a lot if you don't like it, lol.
I loved the way the two (yes, two) stories flowed from one to the other. Seamlessly. And stalkers are my FAVORITE!!! so I doubly enjoyed this book!
This was my first Nikky Kay read and I thoroughly enjoyed it.  A Rock and a Hard Place was easy to read, smoking hot, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Wild Steamy Hookup by Piper Rayne Release Blast



He’s the quiet brooding guy who’s owned my heart since I was sixteen but has refused to claim it.
I’m the naïve woman who believes that someday our time will come.
I just didn’t realize that someday would include waking up in Vegas with a raging hangover and a ring on my finger.
If we believed in fate, maybe one of us would’ve trusted that something more powerful than ourselves interceded because our love is one of tangled vines. As twisted and frayed as they’ve become over the years, they’ve never broken.
An annulment seemed like the easy way out. We should’ve known it wouldn’t be fate that intervened, but our Italian Mamas. They can deliver Oscar-worthy performances when heaping on the guilt.

We thought it’d be easy to pretend to be a happily married couple in front of our families for three months and then say we gave it our best shot and go our separate ways.
But nothing is easy when it comes to Dominic Mancini and me. Nothing. to pretend to be a happily married couple in front of our families for three months and then say we gave it our best shot and go our separate ways.
But nothing is easy when it comes to Dominic Mancini and me. Nothing.

Buy Here:


Dominick was the Mancini Brother that was most interesting to me...always broody, stuck in his ways, quiet but profound when he dished out advice to his two brothers, when he actually weighed in on their lives.  I looked forward to his story and I have to say that Piper Rayne did not disappoint.

Dom was married to his job, earning more prestige and money was all he focused on. Valentina was the woman that he has known since he was a kid, has been protective of since he was a child but believes that they cannot have the relationship that she deserves or needs.  Dom walked away from Valentina one before and it crushed him and Dom knows that he cannot survive losing her again.

What happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.  When Dom sees Valentina in Vegas, they do the unthinkable, they get married.  But when trying to get an annulment, their italian families intervene, demanding that they give their marriage a try for three months before they call it quits.  The guilt of their families is huge and Dom and Val decide to give the perception that they are trying, for their families.

This story is heavy with emotion and the need and want for a second chance but not knowing if you are worthy of that chance or if the outcome will be what you hope for.  I fell in love with Dom and Val throughout this story and I was cheering for them, hoping that despite all of the obstacles in their way, that they could make their relationship work.  I know that you will love this amazing love story as much as I did.

I CANNOT WAIT to read Blanca's story, especially now that she has been taken into the Mancini Brother fold.

I don't know how to begin...
 Broken Knight was phenomenal. Absolutey, Totally freaking AMAZING!
LJ Shen has been a favorite since the first book of hers I read, Vicious. Her writing is perfect. I swear... it's the perfect blend of angst, drama, suspense, sexy..all rolled into pleasure. Pure, unadulterated reading pleasure.
Her characterization is spot on. Her characters are perfect for her storylines, for their personalities. I never feel that I don't "know" her main characters and half of the supporting cast. 
Her story lines are PHENOM! Pretty Reckless was an amazing start, but Broken Knight has my heart.  It was, simply put, the best book I've read this year. No contest. Hands down, THE BEST... and it's gonna be really hard to beat...
The roller coaster that was Luna and Knights relationship? Unbelievable. The love, the lust, the friendship, the angst all came together to make this unputdownable!  That's it.. the perfect word to describe it... UNPUTDOWNABLE.
I smirked, I winced, I cried silent tears dripping down my face.
Knight+Luna+LJ Shen= an infinite amount of stars.

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