Synopsis
We had it all.
Money. Power. Love.
A future carved in stone. Until it all fell apart.
Burning in front of our eyes.
Drop by crimson drop we were shattered. All it took was
One second. One mistake. One life.
Our vows were broken. Our marriage was fractured.
Our love was scorched.
The only way to earn forgiveness is to sell myself to the Devil.
But how can I do that when I'm already married to a God?

So I may be the minority here, and it may just be the time of year, but I've sat down and tried to start SCORCH a handful of times and EVERY single time, I put my kindle down and find something else to do.  So I'm going to pull it back out after the hustle and bustle of Christmas is over and try to give this tale the time is deserves.  It may be a slow starter, it may just be I'm so busy and subconciosly don't think I have the time... IDK, I just know I can't even get the first couple of chapters in.
I went thru and read my review of Burn... even re read the last couple of chapters. 
So..here's to hoping...

Copy of BestMan_Amazon.jpg


When the wedding of your dreams is just around the corner, everything needs to go as planned. Only problem is, the groom didn’t get the memo.
Aaron forgot the rings, and Lia is determined to make the long drive home to get them in time for their “I do’s.”
But there’s a catch. There always is with Aaron, isn’t there?
Aaron is too hungover to come, and sends a replacement.
The best man.
Miles Foster. The cocky, arrogant, sexy best man…and the last person Lia wants to be trapped in a car with for hours.
But Aaron insists, and Lia wonders if there’s another reason Aaron wants Miles tagging along--aside from sticking her with a hot, surly babysitter.
Yet how bad can it be? It’ll be over before she knows it, and she’ll never see him again. Just like in college.
But when secrets are revealed, and Lia's whole world is turned upside down, she realizes she's been living a lie--and so has her groom.
Miles is supposed to be the best man at her wedding.
But what if he is simply the best man she has ever known? The best man for her?

Best Man by Katy Evans is a story about love, longing, and happiness.  Dahlia or Lia as most everyone calls her has dreamt of her wedding for so long, she has been in a relationship with Aaron her college sweetheart since her freshman year, her father has invested his life savings into giving her the wedding of her dreams and she is determined to make sure that everything is absolutely perfect, until it isn't.  Aaron forgets the wedding rings in his apartment and Lia refuses to get married without them, so she embarks on a 10 hour round trip drive with Aarons best friend Miles, who she outwardly despises to grab the rings and return in time for the rehearsal dinner.  The animosity between Lia and Miles is interesting, especially when you find out that Lia met Miles fist at a frat party and had a one night stand with him the night they met.  The reader wonders why Miles is the way that he is with Lia, rude, obnoxious and sometimes plain mean but also caring and a little protective at the same time.  When a snow storm hits and strands Lia and Miles together on the eve of her wedding, truths are revealed that she never knew and she begins to questions if her perfect wedding is in fact perfect. 

This story was a quick and quirky read that will have you laughing at time as Lia's antics and cringing at Miles bluntness but wanting them to each have their happily ever after in the end, with whoever that might be with.

3 stars

L&S pt 2 - BT banner.jpg

Landon & Shay: Part Two, the not to be missed conclusion of the Landon and Shay duet by Brittainy C. Cherry, is available now!
Get your binge on with this must-read enemies to lovers, second chance romance!
Landon & Shay AMAZON (1).jpg

Once upon a time, I fell in love with a boy. A beautiful, broken boy who had his own world of struggles.
People warned me against our love, but I didn't listen. We looked weak. Young, foolish. Dangerously in love. We didn't care.
In order to keep our hearts protected from the opinions of others, we became each other’s secret. We shared stolen moments. Tender touches. Secretive embraces.
It was our twisted love story, and it worked for us up until our lives changed forever. The boy I loved became Hollywood’s newest golden boy. His career blossomed as mine stalled. He found massive success as I discovered multiple failures. He made something of himself, while my dreams never came true. We moved into different realms where our pieces no longer fit together.
In the fairy tales, love conquered all. In reality, love was the main reason empires began to fall. I always knew Landon belonged in my story. He was my beginning, middle, and end. The only problem? I wasn’t certain I still belonged in his.

Excerpt:
Shay “Oh my gosh, tell us everything.” Raine beamed as she sat across from Landon at the dining room table with her chin on her hands in amazement. “Tell me everything about being famous.” That privacy I thought Landon and I would get? Not going to happen with Raine living in the same place as me. She was so giddy seeing her best friend, and I couldn’t blame her. I was just as excited—even more so than her. Landon looked so good, so grown-up. He had facial hair that was groomed to perfection, and he smelled like sex appeal and honey. Since he’d arrived, I hadn’t allowed myself to be far from his side. I sat in the chair next to him, and he hadn’t removed his hand from my thigh, massaging it up and down. “I’m not famous.” Landon chuckled, giving Raine a smile. “I honestly don’t know what’s been happening to me, or why it’s been happening to me, but I feel like I’ll one day wake up and it will all be a dream.” “You know what I hate?” Raine asked, crinkling her nose up. “What’s that?” Landon replied. “When really famous people claim they aren’t famous. That’s like when rich kids are like ‘Oh, I’m not rich, my parents are.’ Like, shut up, Susan. You can’t say you’re not rich while driving your Mercedes Benz wearing your Gucci shoes. That’s not how that works.” I chuckled at my dramatic friend. “She is right, though. You are famous, Landon. The world has seen your tushy in boxer briefs. That’s the top layer of fame.” “And what a cute little tushy-wushy it is,” Raine mocked, leaning over to pinch his cheeks. “I’m a proud big sister.” “For the millionth time, I’m older than you, Raine,” Landon remarked. “By age, not by maturity.” She darted her eyes back and forth between the two of us. Then her stare moved to Landon’s hand caressing my upper thigh. “Is this about to get a little PG-13? Should I leave?” “You should probably leave,” I joked. She nodded in agreement. “Okay, well, don’t make plans tomorrow night, Landon. We’re going to have everyone over for a reunion. Now, go do whatever it is you’re planning to do, you two lovebirds—but remember, these walls are thin, and my bedroom is right next door to Shay’s.” I laughed. “I know, and I’m reminded of how thin the walls are every time Hank stays the night.” She gave me a smile and a wink. “We broke the headboard the other night.” Landon jumped in. “And I think that falls into the realm of too much information. I don’t want to think about Hank and you banging and breaking headboards. You are like a big sister to me, after all.” Raine walked around and patted him on the back. “You’re old enough to know that your sister gets laid, Landon—at least four times a week in many different positions.” “Raine,” Landon groaned, slapping his hand to his face. “Too much information.” “I bet you won’t think it’s too much information when Shay breaks out some of the moves from the Kama Sutra book I gave her. Good night, kiddos.” She hurried off, and Landon was staring at me with a highly arched eyebrow. “What?” I asked. “What’s this about a Kama Sutra book?” His lips curved up into a wicked grin. I rolled my eyes. “It’s nothing. Raine is just a sex-driven girl. She said she and Hank needed to spice things up after being together so long.” “I like spice. Spice is my favorite thing. What are some of the names of the moves in the book? What are we trying tonight?” I felt my face heating up from the idea of it all. “None.” He cocked an eyebrow. “Oh crap. You’ve really read this book, haven’t you?” “What? No. Not at all.” He smirked and pointed a finger. “You have one on the tip of your tongue. I can tell. Do share.” “Well…” I pulled the collar of my shirt between my lips and shrugged. “There is this thing called the butterfly.” The way his eyes smiled along with his lips made my cheeks heat even more. He rose to his feet. “Come on, let’s go. I’m going to butterfly the hell out of you.”

Blog Tour: Never Always by Rachel Robinson

 

NEVER ALWAYS by Rachel Robinson 
Release Date: December 6th
 
 

   

AVAILABLE NOW!! FREE in Kindle Unlimited! 
Amazon US: Amazon UK: Amazon CA: Amazon AU:
   

Blurb: Tennyson In a family filled with picturesque butterflies, I’m a moth. Camouflaged. The invisible, nerdy scientist who would rather study water and save the planet than don a dress and mingle in southern society. Unfortunately, having my nose in a book and eating goals for breakfast doesn’t bode well for a social life or my cobweb covered dating sector.
Then I met Grange. He’s a tormenter—an epic bully, but he’s promised to help me in my lackluster areas. He’s been ordered to fulfill service hours at my Aquatic Lab in Cape Cod, if I allow it.
He is bad, the worst. I’m talking wearing prison garb when I met him kind of awful. We all have our demons, but Corrick Granger’s seep into everything and everyone around him. Sure, I’d love his expertise on how to land a guy, but I’m not sure any man is worth dealing with an outcast Navy SEAL who has more issues than a magazine subscription.
Grange One hazy mistake was all it took to ruin my life. Well, one mistake coupled with a chain of bad decisions, and a side of my hot temper. The court doled out an easy community service sentence. Never anything too harsh for a “hero.” I’ll be back at the Teams in six months, easy. I need to keep my cool, put my head down, and follow the rules.
A fiery redhead with something to prove is all that stands between me and my freedom. Tennyson is a maddening combination of know-it-all and knows-nothing. The type of woman who would cut off her own nose to spite her face, and yet when my one mistake snowballs into a life altering, soul-damning error, she’s undeniably there for me.
Even though I don’t deserve it.
Even though I’ve kept secrets.
And despite the fact I have become the monster she knew I would be.
 
 
Excerpt: He grunts. Something in between annoyance and a laugh. “If I had said, you looked really sexy tonight. That dress. Your hair. Your bare legs. Your long neck and pouty lips. What would you have thought?”
My whole body breaks out in what I can only assume is hives because I’m hot. I feel itchy. My emotions are all over the place and his words create havoc on everything I thought I knew about myself. Why am I all of a sudden attracted to him? Pressing my lips together I try to make my lips look smaller. “I would have called you a liar. Straight up.”
“See?” he says, voice booming in the small cab. “Even straight compliments are over your head.”
I lose my breath, or forget to breathe, I can’t be sure which is my problem right now. He asks where in the parking garage he should park and it occurs to me he knows where I live. We’re at my condo complex. I was so wrapped up in his presence that I neglected everything else. What if he was taking me to an abandoned warehouse to hack up my body for drug money? Or worse. My stomach sinks. “To the left. My parking spot is one seventy-nine.” I point and he parks.
“So we’re clear those compliments were hypothetical reasoning, not actual compliments,” I deadpan, trying to calm my accelerated heart rate as he puts the car into park. There’s a light right above my car and it beams in, lighting half of Grange’s face.
I angle my body toward his, an unconscious movement. He puts a hand on the center console, wrapping his fingers all the way around it. “No,” he states. “That was not hypothetical. All of those things are true. You’re a fox.” Half a smile pulls across his face, the other half is disguised in shadow.

   

About the Author: Rachel grew up in a small, quiet town full of loud talkers. Her words were always only loud on paper. She has been writing stories and creating characters for as long as she can remember. CRAZY GOOD and SET IN STONE two of her Navy SEAL novels are INTERNATIONAL BESTSELLERS. After living on the west coast for many years she moved to Virginia. She resides there with her badass husband, and two children.

Blog Tour: Weekend Fling by Stacey Lynn

WF - BT banner.jpg

It’s just supposed to be a weekend fling. . . .
“Stacey Lynn always knows how to perfectly balance sexy and sweet.”—New York Times bestselling author Lauren Layne
Weekend Fling, an all-new contemporary romance from Stacey Lynn is available now!

lynn_9781984800282_cvr_a01_r1 (1).jpg

Fresh out of a long-term relationship, Willow Parks is working two jobs and caring for her mother, whose husband left her with nothing but a pile of bills. That’s why Willow made a vow: no men until she figures out her own life.
But while she may not need a man, she could use a break. And a weekend away at a California beach to clear her head? That’s appealing. Even if the offer comes from Trey Collins, the irresistible tech-mogul millionaire who visits her coffee shop every morning like clockwork—and needs a date for his best friend’s wedding. With an adorable, occasional stutter, he refuses to take no for an answer.
Once the weekend begins, Trey is intent on proving how good they can be together. Willow’s even feeling tempted to break her vow—until reality rudely interrupts her well-deserved getaway. There’s no way she and Trey have a future, not with the colossal amount of baggage Willow has to offer.
But Trey is used to getting what he wants. He just has his work cut out for him convincing her that they want the same thing.

Excerpt:
“What’s your favorite color?” She tilts her head to the side and winks. Damn, she’s cute. “Navy blue.” She snorts. “Typical male color.” Anything but. “You were wearing navy-blue Converse sneakers with frayed denim jeans the first time I stepped into Java Joe’s and saw you.” Screw waiting for tomorrow. Operation seduce-the-sexy-barista begins now. I’ve surprised her, based on the way her jaw unhinges and her pretty blue eyes fly open. It’s time she realizes how long I’ve really wanted to ask her out. I scoot forward on my chair as she stammers, those cheeks of hers burning bright, and I place my hand at her jaw. It’s the first time we’ve truly touched, other than some minor hand-holding, and I’m stunned by the softness of her skin where my hand brushes her chin, and she closes her mouth with a snap. I’m not generally a lay-your-cards-on-the-table kind of guy, preferring to keep them close to my vest with those I don’t know well. In my line of work, secrecy is absolute. Anyone can steal an idea, and it’s easier to keep anything personal to the few people I trust. But it might be time to throw all those cards down, faceup, if I want a chance with this woman. “I like you, Willow. I was attracted to you the first time I walked into Java Joe’s. I like that you ignore me, but you blush as you look away. I like that you stood up to me when I put my foot in my mouth, and I even like that you’re scared of small planes and the ocean—” “I’m not afraid—” “I also think you’re beautiful and sexy as hell, heavy baggage and stubbornness included. You need to know all that this weekend, because I plan on spending the next few days showing you exactly how much I mean it.” My thumb trails over her lips as they part. Soft. So damn soft. My dick is currently anything but. “You’re very forward.” I lean closer, my hand at her jaw sliding to the back of her neck to pull her close. She comes easily, lips parting further, as I get so close to her. My lips are at her ear, that hit of her jaw, her cheeks . . . “I’m very turned on by you, Willow Parks, and I’m not a man who passes on an opportunity when it’s quite literally almost in my lap. I’m more of a seize-and-conquer kind of man, but you’ll learn that. I promise.” Her body shivers and her puff of breath against my skin turns shallow. I’ve turned her on and I’m hard as a rock. Brushing my lips across her cheek, I kiss her, tease, taking the hint of the promise of her sweetness with me and swallowing it down before I lean back. “We should go to sleep. You have an early morning.” WF - Teaser 1 AN.jpg

Cover Reveal: My Bestie's Ex by Piper Rayne




We are thrilled to bring you the cover for MY BESTIE'S EX by Piper Rayne book 1 in a brand new series coming February 18th!








I can’t borrow him.

He’s not a sweater or a skirt.
He’s not even her favorite dress—the lucky one she wears on first dates. The one she probably wore on her first date with him.

In my defense, I didn’t know who he was. To me, he was a cool, calm, confident stranger. He was perfection for the entire hour and a half train ride while the concrete jungle turned into a rolling green landscape.

To an outsider, we probably appeared more friends than hopeful lovers. But my blush came quickly, and his dimples indented with every smile. We definitely shared a spark of what could be. 

Too bad I didn’t know who he was before I fell for him, because he can’t be mine.
