Joy Ride  

by Lauren Blakely

From the #1 New York Times Bestselling author of FULL PACKAGE and BIG ROCK, comes a hot & hilarious new standalone romantic comedy…

Let’s be honest, ladies. A good man is a lot like the perfect car. You want a hot body, an engine that purrs, and superior performance under the hood…for the best joy ride of your life.

I’m at your service. Ready to go all night long.

But then a wildly sexy brunette appears in my life and throws a wrench in all my plans. She’s fiery, she’s talented, she’s gorgeous, and I’d really like to know what makes her engine hum.

Henley also happens to be my biggest rival, and now we’re forced to work together every day on the most important custom car build of my career. The trouble is I can’t quite figure out if she wants to kick me in the lug nuts or beg me to give her a good, hard fuel injection. Until one night that question is answered on the hood of a sports car when she calls out my name three times. And we can’t seem to put on the brakes.

If sleeping with the enemy is a bad idea, how much more dangerous would it be to fall in love with her?

Hard-Hearted Highlander (Highland Grooms #3)

by Julia London

An indomitable governess…a brooding Highlander…a forbidden affair… 

An ill-fated elopement cost English-born governess Bernadette Holly her reputation, her unsuitable lover and any chance of a future match. She has nothing left to fear—not even the bitter, dangerously handsome Scot due to marry her young charge. Naive wallflower Avaline is terrified to wed Rabbie Mackenzie, but if he sends her home, she will be ruined. Bernadette’s solution: convince Rabbie to get Avaline to cry off…while ignoring her own traitorous attraction to him.

A forced engagement to an Englishwoman is a hard pill for any Scot to swallow. It’s even worse when the fiancée in question is a delicate, foolish young miss—unlike her spirited, quick-witted governess. Sparring with Bernadette brings passion and light back to Rabbie’s life after the failed Jacobite uprising. His clan’s future depends upon his match to another, but how can any Highlander forsake a love that stirs his heart and soul?

Since Loretta owns the bookstore right next to his current renovation project, Deacon can’t escape the woman who broke his heart. Throw in her adorable little girl and one ridiculously oversized dog, and they’re almost a family. Only he can’t be that guy—what they had was once in a lifetime.

All About the D

by Lex Martin and Leslie McAdam

A sexy new romantic comedy from USA Today bestselling author Lex Martin and bestselling author Leslie McAdam…

I’m known for being formal. Meticulous. Professional.

So you’d never suspect I spend my nights photographing my impressive junk for a NSFW blog. Don’t roll your eyes. I’m not bragging. I have millions of followers who’ll tell you they live for my posts.

I’m like a superhero, saving humanity one dick pic at a time.

Except leading a double life means I need someone to help me protect my anonymity, so that no one, especially my family, ever discovers my online celebrity.

When I call one of the most respected law firms in town, I expect quality legal advice and confidentiality. Not a sinfully sexy attorney whose dangerous curves and soul-piercing gray eyes make me want to personally demonstrate my particular skill set.

I shouldn’t be tempted.

Especially when she knows all of my best-kept secrets. But everyone has a breaking point. And I’ve met mine.

February Stars (Wilder Irish #2)

by Mari Carr

“No show, no contest, nothing. Nothing is more important to me than you.”

Ailis Adams couldn’t be more dissimilar from Hunter Morgan. Quiet to his loud, calm to his frantic, bookish to his street smart…they have no common ground. Except for the fact that Ailis’s boyfriend just ran away with Hunter’s fiancée. So no one is more surprised than Ailis when a friendship flourishes. Pat’s Pub’s resident wallflower discovers she actually enjoys spending time with the bar’s gregarious, attention-seeking musician.

When Hunter lands a spot in February Stars, his big shot at breaking into the music scene, who better to guide him than his new bestie? She’s a sharp businesswoman who grew up on her famous parents’ tour bus. Ailis isn’t keen to leave her quiet life in Baltimore, but she knows the ins and outs of the biz, and even she grudgingly admits no one will have Hunter’s back better than a friend.

However, with one impulsive kiss, everything changes. Ailis’s friendly feelings toward Hunter turn to serious lust…and more. But falling for a musician isn’t a good idea. Fame comes with a price, one Ailis isn’t sure she’s willing to pay. She’s already left behind a life on the road once before, in favor of planting roots close to her family and their beloved pub. Though, her family will always be there…and four walls can’t love her back…

So is home really a place? Or is it where her heart resides…with her gorgeous bad boy rock star?

The Darkest Corner (Gravediggers #1)

by Liliana Hart

New York Times and USA TODAY bestselling author Liliana Hart’s first book in her suspenseful Gravediggers series, featuring an elite group of mysterious men who might be dead to the world, but are also tasked with saving it—and no one can ever know.

The Gravediggers aren’t exactly what they seem. They’re the most elite of the world’s fighting forces—and all they have in common is that they’ve been betrayed by the countries they’ve died for. Because they are dead. To their country, their military, and their families.

Sometimes the dead do rise…

Solomon Lange is a dead man walking. A former black ops agent, he was disavowed and stripped of all honor before being recruited as a Gravedigger. But his honor and good name no longer matter, because no one knows he’s alive, and he’ll never get the recognition he deserves. His mission is simple: save the world or die trying. And for God’s sake, don’t ever fall in love. That’s a rule punishable by death. The kind of death a man can’t be brought back from.

Tess Sherman is the only mortician in Last Stop, Texas. She has no idea how Solomon Lange ended up in her funeral home, but she’ll eat her hat if he’s only a funeral home assistant. Solomon is dangerous, deadly, and gorgeous. And she knows her attraction to him can only end in heartache.

Solomon is on a mission to stop the most fatal terror attack the world has ever known—what’s known as The Day of Destiny—a terrorist’s dream. But when he discovers Tess has skills he can use to stop them, he has to decide if he can trust her with secrets worth dying for. And, most important, he has to decide if he can trust her with his heart.

Sexy Stanger

by Kendall Ryan

Luke Wilder knows the lovely stranger doesn’t belong the second she struts into his sleepy little town. She’s a city girl who won’t stay longer than it takes to get her fancy foreign car repaired—which is why he should ignore his powerful need to make her notice him. It’s just that the moment she opens her smart mouth and gives it back as good as she gets, he wants to swap a whole lot more with her than insults.

Charlotte Freemont instantly dislikes the rude redneck stranger she finds herself stuck with. Too bad he’s as hot as sin, and just as tempting. On the run from her messy past, she’s not there to get tangled up with a man, even one as hard to resist as the hotheaded Luke. But when he gives her a private tour of his craft whiskey distillery, their attraction ignites, and Luke seizes the chance to show her there’s a whole lot more to him than the rough, rugged side she sees.

When he finally learns her secret, will it shatter his trust in her? Or do they have a chance to create a whole new blend?

A sizzling, enemies-to-lovers romp with bite.

Shacking Up

by Helena Hunting

But instead of getting her big break, she gets sick as a dog and completely bombs it in the most humiliating fashion. All thanks to a mysterious, gorgeous guy who kissed–and then coughed on–her at a party the night before.

Luckily, her best friend might have found the perfect opportunity; a job staying at the lavish penthouse apartment of hotel magnate Bancroft Mills while he’s out of town, taking care of his exotic pets. But when the newly-evicted Ruby arrives to meet her new employer, it turns out Bane is the same guy who got her sick.

Seeing his role in Ruby’s dilemma, Bane offers her a permanent job as his live-in pet sitter until she can get back on her feet. Filled with hilariously awkward encounters and enough sexual tension to heat a New York City block, Shacking Up, from NYT and USA Today bestselling author Helena Hunting, is sure to keep you laughing and swooning all night long.

All About a Deeelicious Good Read

All About the D (Standalone)
by Lex Martin and Leslie McAdam (Authors)

This review is from: April 28, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

All About the D is a sweet, flirty contemporary romance with all the delicious D of a steamy smut book. The combination is a fun ride that is just good reading from start to finish. The writing is smart, exciting, and just really well put together. Sit back and enjoy the D.

Evelyn “Evie” Mills is a corporate lawyer that specializes in contract law working for Waller, Goldman and Associates. She receives a mysterious call one day from Josh. No last name, just Josh.

What did Josh want?

Representation for a social blog that was less DIY and just social D. The kind that was NSFW (not suitable for work). Once Evelyn had the nerve to open the link that Josh sent her for his blog her eyes nearly pop out of her head. His D could’t possibly be real, could it? The respectable Waller, Goldman and Associates would never allow her to take someone like Josh on as a client, would they?

There was only one way to find out…meet the infamous Josh in person and see if he measured up. Well, not literally because she didn’t know what kind of person this Josh person was or if what he was showing was even real, not that she would check….well you get the quandary she was in.

The person she meets is not exactly what she expected and everything she never saw coming.

Josh Cartwright needed help. He needed a lawyer, but not just any lawyer. He was stuck between a rock and his hard….let’s just say that his rock hard member now needed representation and Josh’s face needed anonymity.

The Cartwright family dated back to the beginnings of the town’s origins. Buildings, streets names, prestige went along with being a Cartwright. Being a social media porn star did not exactly fit the Cartwright mold.

When Josh began his site on a dare, he never expected his site to go viral, but when the sponsors began contacting him to promote sex toys he knew he was in over his head. He needed a good lawyer. One who would use discretion and would look out for his best interests in dealing with the sponsor contracts. When did his life become a giant cluster?

When Josh and Evie meet they never thought their attraction would be a problem, they could be professional and still work together. After all he’s a Cartwright and she works for a respectable law firm. But as they get to know one another their lives get a lot more complicated when there is a famous D involved.

About the Authors

Leslie McAdam is a California girl who loves romance, Little Dude, and well-defined abs. She lives in a drafty old farmhouse on a small orange tree farm in Southern California with her husband and two small children. Leslie always encourages her kids to be themselves – even if it means letting her daughter wear leopard print from head to toe. An avid reader from a young age, she will always trade watching TV for reading a book, unless it’s Top Gear. Or football. Leslie is employed by day but spends her nights writing about the men you fantasize about. She’s unapologetically sarcastic and notoriously terrible at comma placement (that’s what editors are for!). Always up for a laugh, Leslie tries to see humor in all things. When she’s not in the writing cave you’ll find her fangirling over Beck, camping with her family, or mixing up oil paints to depict her love of outdoors on canvas.

Blurb:
Priscilla Story, the self-proclaimed “wild child” of the straight-laced Story clan, has always had a knack for getting herself trouble. Except this time, her “growing problem” is going to require a Daddy sooner than later…or she can kiss her inheritance good-bye.

Shane Olson, who previously dated Priscilla’s sister, Margaret, isn’t opposed to a marriage of convenience for the sake of furthering his business interests, but Priscilla – with her wild ways – is just about the last woman he’d choose to marry.

In order to make the marriage look convincing, they end up having to spend more time together than they’d originally planned. When rolling stone, Priscilla, who lives by the seat of her muu-muu, and seriously-ambitious Shane, who’s had his whole life planned since he was eleven, start falling for each other, it’s going to take a whole lot of compromise for this Bohemian and her Businessman to find their happily ever after.

Shopping For a CEO’s Wife – Release Day

BLURB

Snowbound. Sounds so romantic, with visions of cuddling before a roaring fire, hot chocolate spiked with brandy, and a secret elopement.

Wait. What?

My fiancé’s father won’t stop trying to turn our pending wedding into a three-ring media circus so he can get free publicity for his family’s Fortune 500 company. My mother has decided she’s done with All Things Wedding and asks her teacup Chihuahua for mother-of-the-bride advice.

They’ve all gone certifiably mad.

Then the stress from the wedding puts my mother in the hospital, I scream at my future father-in-law in front of a camera crew and the video goes viral, and the romantic wedding that started with Andrew’s grand Pride and Prejudice proposal looks less like Jane Austen and more like Dostoyevsky.

So what do you do when you’re a fixer and you can’t fix something?

You give up on it.

Not on Andrew, silly.

The wedding.

Shopping for a CEO’s Wife is the 12th book in Julia Kent’s New York Times bestselling Shopping series. As Shannon and Declan enjoy their newlywed bliss, Andrew’s father wants to exploit Amanda and Andrew’s nuptials, much to Amanda’s chagrin. Can she learn to stand up to her future father-in-law and fight for what’s right? But the real question is: will Spritzy the teacup Chihuahua end up being a flower girl?

Let Out A Breath it’s Another Hit

Learning to Breathe, Part one; The Collective (Series)
by Ellie Masters (Author)

This review is from: April 22, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

*Spoiler Alert*

Learning to Breathe is book three in the overall arc of The Collective storyline, but this story begins before Unbroken, book one.

Learning to Breathe opens and Sally Levenson is standing before a dead body. Is this a typical occurrence for her? She’s the county coroner and you’ve met her before. As she’s examining the body you learn that this is the a dead body that popped up in Unbroken. The one that started the strange mystery as we met Sally for the first time in Ava’s diner. As Sally continues to exam the body and wonder at the mystery surrounding the victim’s death. Yes, she does think victim because she is marking it as non-accidental, in walks Blaze. The main character from book 2, Iron Claw MC. You also discover that the body lying on the table is Blaze’s ex-girlfriend, Ally. Aha, now the pieces of each book are beginning to solidify and link together as the story unfolds.

As Sally returns back to the examination you learn more about the doctor and the solitary life she has lead. You learn that she has been a widow for the past five years, but she is also in the beginning stages of a new relationship with a man named, Derek LeMark.

At this point the story progresses away from the murders and into Sally and Derek’s own storyline. A new world of mystery awaits Sally when she agrees to a surprise date night upon his boat…or did he forget to mention he owned a yacht. He talks about a D/s relationship and as Sally is jumping back into the dating world after losing her husband she is still trying to figure out where she fits into the dating game as a whole. A new world is opened up to her and much as Derek intrigue and fascinates her she isn’t sure that she is ready to dive in, but and even scarier thought is that she could miss out on something great by not diving in feet first.

After a glamours night spent in Derek’s arms before she can decide if she’s ready to delve in feet first she’s called back into work where another body awaits. The Collective is back and as we read in Unbroken, the bodies continue to pile up on the poor coroner.

Learning to Breathe is another great addition to the overall arc of the series. I can’t wait to read more and figure out the mystery.

Pure Magic Storytelling

The Bohemian and the Businessman; The Story Sisters #1 (Series)
by Katy Regnery (Author)

This review is from: April 21, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥

Shane Olson wanted to escape his small town, farm life and become a better man ever since he could remember. Making his dreams possible required hard work, dedication, and moving upwards in the corporate ladder. Working at Story Imports was helping him achieve his goals however, there was one big snag, Douglas Story. Douglas was a singularly focused man and his focus was on marrying off one of his daughters to the next CEO. Shane wanted to be that CEO and if he had to marry a Story daughter to meet his objective, well he was willing to take one for the team….or so he thought.

Priscilla Story always saw herself as the black sheep of the Story sisters. Considering one was a doctor, another was a lawyer, and she was at best a wondering artist. Not exactly the apple of her father’s eye. In fact her latest wanderings brought her running home from France, jobless, unattached, and pregnant. Not exactly her finest moment. When Priscilla happens to overhear a conversation between her father and Shane and his stipulations on becoming CEO of Story Imports Priscilla thinks she may have just found a way out of current predicament.

Priscilla needs a man to claim her and her unborn child and Shane needs a Story to claim the job of his dreams. What could possibly go wrong? Or maybe the question should be, what could possibly go right?

Katy Regnery knows how to write a contemporary novel where opposite attraction is pure magic. Nothing is forced or awkward it’s just pure chemistry, two pieces of a puzzle fitting together. A feel good love story that leaves you floating and feeling that first-time love flutter for days afterwards.

You won’t be disappointed when you pick up a Katy Regnery book.

Unfinished Night is a Complete Joy to Read

Unfinished Night the Complete Duet; Before the Night, Every Night Without You (Series)
by Violet Duke (Author)

This review is from: April 21, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥

Unfinished Night is hard to put into one category as it is a two part series book in of itself. The first part titled, Before the Night, is about Addison Milan and Caine Spencer when they first meet. Addison is nineteen years old and taking care of her younger siblings. This would qualify Before the Night as a New Adult novel.

As Addison’s story begins we find out that not only is she taking care of her siblings, but they are also homeless. What makes Addison such an endearing character is her never-give-up attitude and sunny disposition. Even though she has every reason in the world to be bitter, hateful, and just down right scornful about life she never lashes out at her own circumstances. I give a huge kudos to Violet Duke for shedding light on a very real hardship, but turning a positive spin on it. Showing that not everyone that lives such a hard live always ends up in a life of destruction.

Then in walks Caine Spencer. Oh boy. He has been added to my book boyfriend list. When he added sticky note eggs and messages to Addison’s drawings I was a total goner. (When you reach this point in the story you’ll know exactly what I’m talking about and Caine will reach boyfriend status for you too.)

Caine Spencer is a cop and eats at the local diner where Addison works. Caine’s protective and sweet, manly and a big teddy bear all at once. He is the ultimate man all rolled into one. Addison can’t help but like him.

Addison works at the diner while her brother and sister still attend school, then at night she parks their van where they all live, in the empty lot behind the diner at night and no one asks any questions. That is until a predator situation turns deadly Addison has to make a decision, stay and fall for a man who could give her everything for the first time in her life, or go with the one thing she knows best and run?

Every Night Without You begins seven years later. The storyline moves from a New Adult novel into more contemporary with suspense/cop elements. I really hate giving too much away because this is really where the meat of the story takes place. However, everything from Before the Night is weaved into this story beautifully and it turned me into a puddle of goo multiple times.

From the moment I opened Unfinished Night, I was hooked. It was sweet, charming, kept me on the edge of my seat, yet was also filled with so much goodness that it melted everything inside of me. I wanted to be Addison and have a Caine Spencer of my very own. Not only were they a wonderful couple together, but both books were abundant with secondary characters that were rich and easy to fall in love with. I cannot wait to meet them all as the series continues to grow.

You can purchase these two books separately, but I wouldn’t recommend it because you’ll be gripping the edge of your seat dying to know what happens after you finish the first book. Unfinished Night The Complete Duet is titled appropriately because they definitely go hand in hand. I loved every part of both books, the secondary characters, the redemption, the plot, the twist, the love story…everything.

Unfinished Night is a duo feature that is a must read.

EXCERPTS
Excerpt #1
My hand cradled the back of his neck, holding him prisoner.
I didn’t want him to look away, to move away.
I wanted him inside of me.
His eyes darkened and as if reading my mind, he moved back to pull his pants off. After grabbing a condom, and pulling it on, he came back and settled between my legs.
My arms went back around him, like returning to their home.
“Sam,” he murmured, tracing a finger down the side of my face. He tucked some hair behind my ear, and then I felt his lips against mine again.
Yes. Home.
That’s what this was.
I groaned, my head falling back, and I felt his soft chuckle against my skin, but then he reached down and shifted, lifting my leg until I wound it around his waist. He dipped in, shifting, and I felt him at my entrance. He paused, then slid inside.
My eyes closed and I relished the feel of him in me.
He began moving, thrusting inside of me.
As he kept going, and he slid his hands up my arms to capture my hands, I opened my eyes. We were staring back at each other, watching each other. I could feel him reaching inside of me, searching, claiming me. Everything in my body yearned for him, yearned for more. I wanted more. I needed more.
The second he touched me, everything blared alive. I was awakened. Always.
In and out. Mason kept thrusting.
My fingers clamped down over his, sinking deep as his pace quickened.
“Mason,” I gasped. Weak. His onslaught kept going, harder, faster. “I love you.”
He groaned, climaxing, and his body clenched as he thrust into me a last time. It sent me hurdling over the edge, and I wrapped both arms around his neck, hanging on.
A moment later, he brushed a soft kiss on my forehead before he slipped out.
I still lay beneath him.
I didn’t want to move.
I didn’t want him to move, and eventually, we slept like that.
I woke later, but I was still in his arms. He was curled up behind me, and I went back to sleep again. All the doubts and questions would be there tomorrow.


Excerpt #2
“You know you can’t finish this fight before those cops show up?”
“Who says they’re coming here?” He tossed the bat up, catching it like he was going to swing at a baseball. He held it above his head.
I narrowed my eyes. “What are you talking about?”
“They have to prioritize their calls,” he said. “It’s a small police department. I’d think a burning nursing home would take priority over a text about brawling from someone’s cell phone.” He looked right at Nate. “I saw that, you know.”
“You set the nursing home on fire?” Nate paled slightly.
“They’ll get everyone out, I’m sure.” Caldron didn’t sound like he cared. “But that leaves us to our merry selves.” He dropped the bat and caught it again, right around the handle. He hefted it back up. “How about we get this show on the road?”
And he swung.
I blacked out after that.
The bat swung down. I saw my hand catching it, saw Caldron on the ground. His face was bleeding. His eyes were swollen shut. There were hands at my shoulders, and I was swinging.
Time skipped.
Two guys were on me. I ducked down, ramming my shoulder into one of them. Someone’s arm cracked, and he screamed in pain as it bent at an indecent angle.
More lapses in time.
Nate was on the ground. Three guys kicked him.
I pulled one away, slamming him into the pavement.
Time jumped again.
Logan threw a punch, and a guy’s head snapped backward from the blow. Another guy swung a bat, about to hit Logan in the back of the head—another blackout. I came to again, and that same guy was unconscious.
I was holding his bat.
More blackness.
“Mason.” I heard Logan’s voice in the distance.
There was a buzzing sound. I looked around. What was that?
“Mason.” Suddenly, the buzzing sound vanished, and Logan was right there. His voice was too loud, and he was clawing at my hands. “Mason, stop!” He sounded panicked. My brother never panicked. He kept pulling at my hands, and I looked—they were wrapped around a guy’s throat.
Logan reared back and rammed his shoulder into me. He knocked me backward, but I’d let go of the throat already.
What had I…?
I didn’t want to know.
I shook my head. There was a cloud there, a haze settling over everything. I didn’t feel like myself, and I surveyed the parking lot and felt sick.
There were bodies everywhere.
Nate sat on the ground, his face covered in blood and only one eye open. He was holding his shirt to his head. The end was soaked in blood.
I looked for Logan. He was right in front of me, and he was bleeding all over, too. He fell into me, and he began to slip to the ground, but I caught him. Wrapping an arm around his back, I eased him down and sat next to him.
My hands were already bruising. They were covered in blood, but there was blood everywhere. Even the Escalade had blood on it.
“Logan.” My voice was hoarse. “What did we do?”
He grunted from pain as he tried to stretch a leg out. “We fought. That’s what we did.”

Blurb:

Two men.
One threesome.
Zero expectations.

Jamie Teller has had a rough year. After being blackmailed by a teammate, weathering a sex scandal, and being traded to a team on the other side of the continent, he’s overwhelmed and looking for a distraction. A sexy threesome with his burly roommate and his wife wasn’t expected–neither is his sudden attraction to a guy.

Viggo Sjoberg has been openly bisexual since he was 17, but always assumed he would settle down with a woman. When he’s surprised with news he has a child from a past fling, he jumps headfirst into marriage and fatherhood, but his new wife isn’t what she appeared to be. Adding to Viggo’s confusion are the feelings aroused by his seemingly straight roommate, Jamie.

When Jamie moves thousands of miles away, Viggo tells himself it’s over. Until a life-changing event puts the two men on a collision course. Suddenly, Jamie needs Viggo—badly—and Viggo is prepared to do whatever it takes to help. Even if it means he has to give up everything he always thought he wanted.

Blurb:

One injury – a freaking broken rib.

That’s all it took to send life into a tailspin at the age of sixteen. After getting a heart transplant, I knew that I could never take life or my talents for granted – I was going to be the best of the best. Boxing consumed my life and I was on track for greatness.

Everything was perfect until I woke up one morning, ten years after my surgery with an overwhelming need to meet her – the girl whose father’s heart beat in my chest.

Little did I know that she was going to save me all over again.

About the Author-Kristen Hope Mazzola:

I am just an average twenty-something following my dreams. I have a full time “day job” and by night I am an author. I guess you could say that writing is like my super power (I always wanted one of those). I am the lover of wine, sushi, football and the ocean; that is when I am not wrapped up in the literary world.

Please feel free to contact me to chat about my writing, books you think I’d like or just to shoot the, well you know.

IRON CLAW, MC  – Episode 2

 http://amzn.to/2mnB3C2

All my life I wanted to find love. It wasn’t what I found though. I found darkness and death.
Iron Claw was the family I wanted. Ally was the girl that I used. She ruined parts of my life over time.
I went out on a job to find and kill a man but that’s not what happened. I found his daughter instead.
I didn’t want to kill her, telling myself it was because she was a kid. At nineteen years old, she was far from a child. She grew on me. I didn’t plan on it. I didn’t look for it.
Now with the weight of finding her father, dealing with Ally and Nina tossed in the middle, I’m as confused as ever.
I don’t know where my life is heading but I do know that my club has my back.

PAPERBACK

Excerpt

I had no time to stop and think.
I had to fight.
I had to hurt.
I had to protect.
Feeling someone behind me, I let loose with the bat, a scream erupting from my throat. Someone caught the bat and wrapped an arm around my waist. I tried kicking out. He dodged my feet and said hurriedly in my ear, “Damn, Strattan. It’s me, Channing. Stop!”
Channing.
He was friendly.
Stop.
I sagged in his arms, looking for Mason. Where was he? He was circling a guy, still fighting.
I started forward, but Channing caught my arm. “Whoa. Chill.”
I growled as I yanked my hand free and started forward again, but Channing grabbed my arm once more.
He got in front of me, holding his other hand up. “Whoa, whoa, whoa. Look. He’s fine. We’re here. He’s got that. Look. Look, Sam.”
My senses began to calm. The black around my eyesight faded. I could see more normally, and the buzzing in my ears subsided. I gulped for breath, tasting salt and dust in my mouth.
Channing was right. Mason’s eyes were deadly, but alert, his mouth set in a flat line. His shoulders were tense, but he looked in control.

Blazing Hot Book that Touches Sensitive Subject

Temptation’s Inferno; Inferno (Series)
by Kat Mizera (Author)

This review is from: April 15, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Temptation’s Inferno starts out blazing hot. The heat level between Jamie and Viggo is off the charts. How off the charts? For the most part the intimacy you experience is when Jamie and Viggo kiss. That’s right. Kiss. Yes, other juicy bits happen too, but for as hot as things get, Jamie and Viggo don’t breach the ultimate trusting level until later in the book.

Kat Mizera does an incredible job pulling you in and drowning you in Jamie and Viggo’s kisses, touches, and just plain old intimacy. Before you know it your panties have melted right off your body and whew, the temperature is rising even as I’m recalling their lips locking.

Kat also wasn’t afraid to touch on a sensitive subject; hate crime, without it affecting her storyline. In fact it was an integral part of her story and helped solidify the love and relationship between the two men. She even gives the reader a fair warning before you dive in to the story. It is brutal and she doesn’t dance around or make light of what happens.

The LBGTQ community has come a long way in the past few years, yet there are still a large number of people who are intolerant. Not only was Jaime struggling with his own feelings for Viggo, the only man he’s ever had feelings for, but he also falls victim to a hate crime because of his growing love. It makes you wonder if Jamie will run or will he stay and fight.

The book was well written from the perspective of a man who was struggling to find out who he was. Not in labeling himself, but in coming to the realization that he was in love for the first time in his life and it happened to be with his best friend. It wasn’t about sexuality, but it was about being a human being in love.

Viggo was the perfect counterbalance to Jamie’s very indecisive mood swings. He understood how hard it was in dealing with his own sexuality when he came out and as such was ever patient with Jamie. That man deserved a medal for putting up with Jamie at times, but he so frankly stated that you stay by, good or bad, the person you love. They were perfect for one another.

For a story that could have teetered over the edge and blown matters out of proportion if given the chance, Temptation’s Inferno was excellent and hot as hell to boot.

Great Concept for Low Blow

Low Blow; Shots on Goal (Series)
by Kristen Hope Mazzola (Author)

This review is from: April 15, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

I have mixed feelings as I sit down to write this review. To start off, Low Blow touched me on a personal level. My own father was a donor after he suddenly lost his life about seven and a half years ago. It was about a year after he passed that we received a letter from Donate Life in which we learned all the wonderful things and people his donation was able to help. There were no specifics, as in names, or locations, but in generalities such as his skin went to help burn victims and things of that nature. He actually ended up helping hundreds of people. It is amazing what one human body can do and even in death you can make a difference in someone’s life.

So, as I sat down to read Low Blow, knowing just a small blurb about the book I was intrigued. A teenage recipient of a heart transplant years later finding the donors daughter, meeting, and then falling in love is a truly romantic concept. However, as much as I tried to enjoy the story, it fell a little short of great for me. I’d like to say I didn’t hold any bias, but perhaps it still hit a little too close to home.

Griffin’s life was over, or so he thought. A punch to the chest, a few broken ribs, and one infection later that went to his heart and suddenly his life was literally in the hands of someone else. Someone had to die so he could live. That was a heavy burden to carry, especially for a teenage kid.

Griffin carried that burden for ten years. Ten years of not really living his life. He may have achieved his working goals, he was on top of the boxing world, but emotionally he was dead inside. Never really living since the day they replaced his heart with someone else’s.

Meeting Olive, the heart donor’s daughter, changed all that. She made Griffin feel alive for the first time in his life. He wasn’t going to let her go. It might be crazy, to fall for the girl who was tied to the heart that now beat in his chest, but perhaps crazy was what he needed in his life.

A portion of Low Blow’s proceeds will be donated to the Marcie Mazzola Foundation. It is a foundation that goes towards helping the lives of abused and at-risk children, and to build community awareness regarding the needs of children.  You can learn more about the foundation by clicking on the link above.

How can you not want to buy this book when you know proceeds will go towards a fantastic cause, right?

Plus, I’m going to add my own plug here, sign up to be an organ donor if you haven’t done so already. It could save someone’s life, someone you love. There are people who need organs, tissue, bones, skin, arteries, something someone needs is added to the donor list everyday. You may be that chance someone needs at a quality life, or the chance they need to keep living.

I know the question; How could you sign up knowing you feel like you are signing your own death certificate?

I’ve lived on both sides of the donor coin. I know my father helped hundreds of people, but I didn’t know them personally. I won’t personally get that connection like Griffin and Olive had to see life go on. However, I have a dear friend that received the gift of life. Someone who wouldn’t be here today if she hadn’t been a recipient of an organ donation. So I’ve been witness to the miracle and it’s a beautiful thing. So please take that next step; organdonor.gov

When he’s surprised with news he has a child from a past fling, he jumps headfirst into marriage and fatherhood, but his new wife isn’t what she appeared to be. Adding to Viggo’s confusion are the feelings aroused by his seemingly straight roommate, Jamie.

When Jamie moves thousands of miles away, Viggo tells himself it’s over. Until a life-changing event puts the two men on a collision course. Suddenly, Jamie needs Viggo—badly—and Viggo is prepared to do whatever it takes to help. Even if it means he has to give up everything he always thought he wanted.

THIS BOOK IS A STANDALONE.

BOHEMIAN_TEASER2

Blurb:

Priscilla Story, the self-proclaimed “wild child” of the straight-laced Story clan, has always had a knack for getting herself trouble. Except this time, her “growing problem” is going to require a Daddy sooner than later…or she can kiss her inheritance good-bye.

Shane Olson, who previously dated Priscilla’s sister, Margaret, isn’t opposed to a marriage of convenience for the sake of furthering his business interests, but Priscilla – with her wild ways – is just about the last woman he’d choose to marry.

In order to make the marriage look convincing, they end up having to spend more time together than they’d originally planned. When rolling stone, Priscilla, who lives by the seat of her muu-muu, and seriously-ambitious Shane, who’s had his whole life planned since he was eleven, start falling for each other, it’s going to take a whole lot of compromise for this Bohemian and her Businessman to find their happily ever after.

MISTER MONEYBAGS (A standalone contemporary romance novel)
Brought to you by New York Times, USA Today, and Wall Street Journal Bestselling Authors
Vi Keeland & Penelope Ward

Blurb:
I met Bianca in an elevator.

She was on her way to interview me when we got stuck.

The beautiful, raven-haired reporter assumed I was a delivery guy because of the way I was dressed.

She had no clue I was really Dex Truitt, the wealthy, successful businessman she’d dubbed “Mister Moneybags”—her afternoon appointment.

Bianca told me how much she hated Dex’s type—snobby, over educated, silver- spooned men who didn’t appreciate the simple things in life.

So, after the elevator finally started moving again, I cancelled the interview and let her believe I was someone I wasn’t—a bike messenger named Jay. I loved the way she looked at the fake me and didn’t want it to end.

I began dating her as “Jay”—all the while letting her interview the real me over email.

I didn’t expect that our chemistry online would be just as hot.

I didn’t expect the mess I’d gotten myself into.

I didn’t expect that Jay and Dex would fall in love with her.

And she was falling for two men.

Only, both men were me.

And when she found out, we were both going to lose her.

Nothing could have prepared me for that day. And I certainly wasn’t prepared for what came after.

All good things must come to an end, right?

Except our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

Book Reviews

The Collective-Gritty and Raw Addition Found in Book 2

Iron Claw MC; The Collective (Series)
by Erin Trejo (Author)

This review is from: April 9, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

Blaze is an enforcer in the Iron Claw motorcycle club. He is a man who has done terrible things in his life and the story opens right in the middle of one of his nefarious deeds, the kidnapping of Nina. She is potential payment in exchange from a man who owes the Iron Claws a lot of money, aka Nina’s father. If payment isn’t made then Nina is supposed to die, but even with all the horrible things Blaze has done in his life, he isn’t willing to kill the young girl.

Little did Blaze know the ramifications, as the story unfolds, that not killing Nina from the beginning, would have on him or his fellow brothers. There was just something he’d never felt before. Some initial pull that called to him and he was a goner almost from the beginning. Almost every instinct should have told him that he shouldn’t be drawn to her, but he couldn’t stop even if he tried.

Iron Claw MC is not a story for the faint of heart. It’s raw, gritty, and probably the least romanticized version of a motorcycle club I’ve ever read. Is it more reality based, perhaps? The point is even though the environment wasn’t glamorized I still found myself rooting for Blaze the entire time. If this was reality he’s done horrible things that are criminal and would make me walk the other way if I ran into him on the street, yet as I was reading his story I couldn’t help but feel for him. This is my definition of what makes a really good author; can you make a deplorable character likeable? Erin Trejo did exactly that.

How?

I knew what kind of man Blaze was, a hard cord killer by nature, but Erin wrote him with vulnerability, a humanity I didn’t expect.  I couldn’t help but find myself wanting Blaze to win the girl and hopefully come out the other side a better man.

As far as The Collective series arc there are a few suggestive hints that move the murder plot along, but this a complete standalone in the storyline as a whole.

Iron Claw MC is told entirely from Blaze’s POV, with a quick paced flow. An excellent addition to The Collective.

Note – Due to strong language, sexual content, violence, and drug use this book is not intended for readers under the age of 18.

A Blissfully Good Read

Blissful Disaster (Series)
by Amy L. Gale (Author)

This review is from: April 9, 2017 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥

Ali Whitman wakes up in bed next to a stranger thanks to a one night stand she doesn’t remember bringing home. Thankfully, the gorgeous hunk of a man that wakes up beside her isn’t a killer or worse a clingy freak. No, he happens to be sweet, buys her breakfast, and then completely vanishes.

Jerk!

Ali feels she’s better off considering she moved to L.A. to jumpstart her career and she can forget all about the moment of insanity where she met an incredible man who made her pulse jump. So when Ali begins her new job at Entertainment Rocks! as a field reporter she never expected her first assignment to bring her face to face with the hottest man she can’t fully remember, but the one she also can’t forget.

Tyler Young plays bass guitar for Devils Garden. He’s a man who loves his independent life, living on the road and not being tied down. However, as much as he tells Ali this is how he lives his life, he continually brings her into the secret recesses of his world. 

Ali tries to keep Tyler at arms length as best as she can knowing she doesn’t want to lose herself to someone who won’t stay, but Tyler is relentless and continues to show up as her white knight. Ali desperately tries to fight her own battles, after all she is a modern-day woman, but when she finally wakes up and realizes that she’s only fighting herself could she be too late to find her happily ever after?

Blissful Disaster is past of a series, but can be read as a standalone. I had absolutely no trouble jumping in and I never felt like I was missing part of the story. The part I loved most was seeing a sweet tender side of Tyler, knowing he was a rockstar. It hammered home that when you find “the one” you let down your walls and go to any lengths to be with the one you love. If there was anything wrong with Blissful Disaster is that it was missing an epilogue. I would have enjoyed a follow up or wrap up on how the characters were doing. Overall, Blissful Disaster was a blissfully lovely read.

MEET BIANCA

I sighed audibly. Are we even moving? It was seriously the slowest elevator I’d ever taken. Frustrated, and maybe a bit anxious to get the interview over with, I took another shot at the elevator panel. Again, pressing the button repeatedly, I groaned, “Come on. I’m already freakin’ late.”

I breathed a sigh of relief when the car seemed to finally pick up speed. But then, it jolted to an abrupt stop, and the elevator went pitch black.

“Well now you’ve gone and broken the damn thing,” a deep voice said from behind me. Startled, I jumped and bobbled my cell phone in the dark, which resulted in it falling. From the sound of it smashing against the floor, I knew it had broken.

“Shit! Look what you made me do.” I bent over and patted the floor, but I couldn’t find it. “Can you at least give me some light so I can find my phone?”

“It would be my pleasure.”

“Thank you,” I huffed.

“If I had a cell phone on me.”

“Are you kidding? You don’t have a cell phone on you? Who walks around without their cell phone?”

“Maybe you should try it. If you weren’t so obsessed with yours, we wouldn’t be in this predicament.”

I stood, and my hands went to my hips. “How so?”

“Well, you were so busy typing away on your phone, you didn’t even notice another passenger was in the car with you.”

“And?”

“Had you seen me, you wouldn’t have jumped hearing my voice and broken your phone. Then we would have had light, and you would be able to see that elevator panel well enough to push that button another twenty or thirty times. I’m sure that would’ve helped.”

I felt the man moving around behind me.

“What are you doing?”

When he answered, his voice came from a different place. It was to my left and beneath me. “I’m on the floor looking for your cell phone.”

It really was pitch dark. I couldn’t see a thing, but I felt the air move, and I knew he must have stood back up.

“Put your hand out.”

“You’re going to put my phone in it, right?”

“No, I’ve taken down my pants and I’m going to stick my dick in it. Christ, you’re really a bitch, aren’t you?”

Thinking he couldn’t see me, I smiled at his sarcasm and put out my hand. “Just give me my phone.”

MEET DEX

Wow. My little ball player was quite the fox.

I’d only seen her from the back before the lights went out. Now, I was staring into her beautiful, big brown eyes, feeling like this elevator mishap wasn’t such a bad thing after all.

She cleared her throat. “The lights came back, but we’re still stuck.”

I clicked on some of the buttons. “Seems that way. But this is a step in the right direction. I bet this thing will be moving in no time.”

And by this thing moving, I do not mean my dick, although I could have sworn I felt it twitch when she just licked her beautiful full lips.

Do that again.

Fuck.

She is beautiful.

My eyes travelled down the length of her body then back up again, loving how the small buttons on her conservative blouse formed a path up to her delicate neck. I wouldn’t have minded sucking on that skin.

Maybe I could entice her to play hooky with me.

“Where are you headed once we get out of here?” I asked.

“The thirty-fourth floor,” she said.

What?

What is she doing going up to my floor?

I know she doesn’t work for me. I would have remembered that face, those eyes.

“What kind of business you have going on up there?”

“I actually have the pleasure of interviewing Mister Moneybags himself.”

My stomach sank.

Ohhhh.

This didn’t bode well for me.

I swallowed then cocked my head to the side and played dumb. “Who?”

“The elusive Dexter Truitt. He’s the CEO of Montague Enterprises. They occupy the entire top floor.”

Trying to seem like I was not seriously about to lose my shit, I asked, “Why do you call him Mister Moneybags?”

“I just picture him to be this crabby, money-hungry asshole, I guess. Sounds like a fitting name. Of course, I don’t actually know him.”

“Why do you think that way about him, then?”

“I have my reasons.”

Loved this story!! It is full of twist and turns and clues!! It kept me on the edge of my chair the entire book! This series is going to be unique and different and definitely full of suspense and mystery.” – Amazon Reviewer
 
From the very first sentence, I found myself wanting to find out what was going to happen in this book. End of Watch….now my curiosity had the best of me. The characters were well matched and the antics had me laughing. Riley did an exceptional job collaborating this story. The way she put a title at the beginning of each chapter caught my attention and had my mind wondering what was in store. There was definitely a mix of emotion while reading, but I definitely had no trouble reading. In fact, I didn’t want to put it down to go to work or sleep. Definitely an amazingly entertaining and well written book. Kudos Riley, well done!!” – Amazon Reviewer

“Sinfully sexy and darkly beautiful, The Pawn will play games with your heart and leave you craving more!” – Laura Kaye, New York Times bestselling author

The price of survival…

Gabriel Miller swept into my life like a storm. He tore down my father with cold retribution, leaving him penniless in a hospital bed. I quit my private all-girl’s college to take care of the only family I have left.

There’s one way to save our house, one thing I have left of value.

My virginity.

A forbidden auction…

Gabriel appears at every turn. He seems to take pleasure in watching me fall. Other times he’s the only kindness in a brutal underworld.

Except he’s playing a deeper game than I know. Every move brings us together, every secret rips us apart. And when the final piece is played, only one of us can be left standing.

And the game has only just begun.

THE KING is a spin-off novel of the USA Today bestselling Endgame series about Damon Scott.

The highest stakes…

My father gambles every night, falling deeper and deeper into debt. And when he’s lost everything, he places a new bet–his daughter. I’m his entry bet to the biggest underground poker game.

The players are politicians and mafia men, every kind of danger around a velvet-covered table. But it’s only one man who makes me shake.

The man I once thought I loved.

The man who betrayed me.

His eyes meet mine with dark promise. And when he puts down his money, I know I’m going to lose more than my body. I’m going to lose everything.

IT’S LIVE!

A hockey romance burns up the ice in the third sexy Need You novel from the New York Times bestselling author of the Mastered Series and the Blacktop Cowboys® Series.

PR agent Annika Lund can spin any disaster into a win. But revamping the reputation of a notorious Swedish hockey player will take every trick in her arsenal, especially when his agent insists that convincing everyone he’s no longer a playboy is top priority. And that it requires a sham relationship—with Annika playing the part of loving girlfriend.

On fire in the rink and in the bedroom, Axl Hammerquist couldn’t care less about being anyone’s golden boy. So when his agent forces him to play nice with a new publicist, he takes satisfaction in being as much of a pain as possible. But the more time he spends getting to know Annika, the more Axl starts to think that being Mr. Nice Guy might be worth it if it gets him the girl
