Review – Order of Protection

Order of Protection; Courting Justice #1 (Series)
by Lexi Blake (Author)

This review is from: June 7, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

I love a world where crossovers happen and Lexi Blake now has a delicious crossover happening between her Masters and Mercs, Lawless, and now Courting Justice series. This makes me just as happy as when I watch all my Chicago shows (Fire, Med, Justice-although it was cancelled let’s not discuss about how disappointed I was). Anyway, Order of Protection brings all of Lexi’s worlds together to help bring security, order, and lawfulness into these characters lives to help right their wrongs as only Lexi’s strong characters can do.

Henry Garrison is known as The Monster of Manhattan. A lawyer known for getting horrible people off over and over again, his success in the courtroom is unparalleled only to the demise of his career. A nasty divorce to a potential oscar winning actress threw him in the entertainment spotlight and unfortunately also threw him in a cycle of drinking. Now on the road to recovery, dragging his career, his life, and his liver out of the gutter he’s trying to start over. What he needs are some clients. What he needs is some good fortune. He doesn’t exactly get what he wished for, but desperate times call for desperate measures.

Taylor Winston-Hughes or Win as she prefers to be called by those who really know her was raised by her uncle when her parents died in an accident. This isn’t what makes Win unique, what makes Taylor Winston-Hughes unique is the fact that she’s a billionaire heiress. On top of being an heiress Win foolishly was also on a reality TV show with some of her friends which lead to Win ending up in rehab, not for drugs or alcohol, but for an eating disorder. Finally on the mend Win has left the show, is looking towards the future, and has taken her life back from the very brink of death. She has everything to live for, so who could possibly be out to kill her?

Henry and Win desperately need each other, they are broken and help heal one another, but when things fall apart, when everything goes wrong, will they still be each others rock or will they go back to their old vices? Time is running short and they need to work together to find some answers before the killer strikes again.

Order of Protection is filled with twists and turns that will keep you intrigued from beginning to end. I’m excited to see where this series continues to grow and for more crossover happiness.

Review – Beauty and the Beefcake

Beauty and the Beefcake (Standalone)
by Pippa Grant (Author)

This review is from: May 15, 2018 By Kay Daniels (Kindle Edition-Goodreads)
Rating:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Heat Level:🔥🔥🔥🔥

This was my first read of the emotional support monkey, I mean Pippa Grant, and I can honestly say it won’t be the last. I loved every moment of Beauty and the Beefcake, from the chapter titled “Ares (aka an ape who just wants to get back on the ice) Grunt” to meeting Loki, the emotional support monkey, along with Felicity who may be one of my favorite characters ever. It might have something to do with her never ending need to fill silence with her many voices and along with her passion for finding the perfect job (hello kettle meet black), I’m just saying she’s amazing that’s all.

Felicity Murphy never stops talking, she has a very good reason for this, mostly. She’s a ventriloquist and even when she doesn’t have a puppet attached to her hand she’s always practicing; on monkey’s, on inanimate objects, on nothing in particular…okay, you get the point. Anyway, Felicity has a problem, actually she has several problems, abundant talking is just one of them. Horrible choices in men might happen to be another, along with job stability and her spririal Gammy, but who’s counting? She has bigger things to worry about like her new roommate. Like a huge, super giant, colossal man of a thing new roommate, Ares Berger.

“I’m a freak. A not-normal, talking to herself, career-floating, dick-magnet freak.”

Ares Berger hardly says two words in a single day and that’s on a good day. He skates, he eats, he plays hockey, he sleeps–repeat. He doesn’t need to recite a sonnet to do any of the above. Does he need an emotional support monkey or does the emotional support monkey need him? Oooooh, I’ve intrigued you I can tell. A giant of a man who has a monkey and not the one that lives in his pants, but a real monkey. (Yes, the jokes are there and they are amazing, trust me.) Moving in with his teammates sister when he injured his ankle wasn’t exactly on his to do list, but he didn’t exactly put up a fight when Nick dropped him off there either.

“There’s way more to Ares than the world give him credit for.”

Ares is a giant of a man who is often overlooked for his hulking size and he’s grown accustomed to letting people do just that. Felicity has a huge IQ, but has terrible taste in men. With these two living under the same roof they have nowhere to hide. For the first time they are exposed and their mysteries may be uncovered, but will they like what each other finds?

“Just because he’s injured and protective and more than a little mysterious, plus solid muscle, doesn’t mean I’m interested.”

Beauty and the Beefcake is a standalone, but also part of a bigger, puckier world that Pippa created. I loved joining the wonderful world she created and look forward to catching up on everything Pippa very soon.

New Release – Scoring the Quarterback

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: Scoring the Quarterback
Series: San Diegan Series #2
Author: S.M. Soto
Genre: New Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: May 15, 2018

BLURB

An epic Frenemies to lovers romance.

Luke Caldwell has three abhorrent qualities to him:
1) He’s a pig-headed jock.
2) He’s a grade A asshole with the biggest, overbearing ego.
3) He’s a manwhore.

These three qualities alone should’ve had me running for the hills. I tried to steer clear of him, I really did, but it was an impossible feat. Luke Caldwell was nothing if not persistent and the way he bulldozed through my life, not taking no for an answer is proof of it.

I tried to stay away from him.

I wanted to hate him. But I couldn’t.

Luke was nothing like the idiot jock I pegged him out to be. He became a friend, a confidant, and after one unforgettable night, he became so much more.

Whatever this is between us, it’s impossible to ignore. I just hope when all is said and done, I won’t be burned by the college bad boy.

New Release – Hot Seal Redemption

RELEASE BLITZ
Title: HOT SEAL Redemption
A Hostile Operations Team Series Standalone
Author: Lynn Raye Harris
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Release Date: May 15, 2018

BLURB

Bailey Jones doesn’t know jack about babies, but she knows how much it sucks to have a deadbeat father. So when her sister drops off her newborn baby and then disappears, Bailey is ready and willing to confront anyone, including a six-foot-two, sexier-than-sin Navy SEAL sniper, and make him do his duty.

Alexei “Camel” Kamarov is not the sort of man to carelessly father a kid, but as the oldest of six, he does know a thing or two about babies. The firebrand on his doorstep might have mistakenly tagged him as the baby daddy, but Bailey is cute, and Alexei is more than willing to give her a hands-on class in Baby 101.

When a ruthless criminal comes looking for the missing sister—putting Bailey and the baby in danger—the situation escalates. Bringing them under his roof and enlisting his HOT teammates to help find Bailey’s sister are easy. But as Alexei and Bailey draw closer, passions erupt and feelings tangle.

That’s nothing compared to the danger lurking in the shadows—and the test that awaits them both. Bailey will need to give everything she’s got to redeem Alexei’s faith in love. And he’ll have to move heaven and earth to save her—before someone takes her away from him for good…

EXCERPT 

“Magic sperm, Bailey. I could father six kids before I knew what happened to me. Hell, my luck, it’d happen all at once.”
Bailey winced. “Ouch.”
“Yeah, ouch is right.”
She grinned at him. “Well, sure, ouch for you too—but I was thinking more about the poor woman who would have to carry six babies in her belly before popping them all out. What a nightmare.”
“And now you know why I wrap it tight.”
Unexpected heat flared beneath her skin. Holy shit, was that a blush? Really? But the thought of this man standing in front of her with a hard on, his hand wrapped around it as he slid on a condom, was almost unbearably sexy.
He cocked his head. “Are you blushing?”
Hell. So much for being cool. “A little. Maybe.” Why deny what he could clearly see happening?
“Over birth control?”
Bailey rolled her eyes. “Not over birth control, you idiot. More or less the thought of you putting the condom on.”
His gaze went smoky—and then it dropped over her body, slowly, before rising again. Their eyes met. Held. Her heart pounded. No, no, no. Bad idea. So bad.
“I’d be happy to give you a personal demonstration.”

EXCERPT 

“Don’t move,” he said in a whisper.
“What are we doing?”
“I want these for me. I’ll sign whatever you want so you know I’ll keep them to myself, but I get a different you. One only I see, and I want it on film.”
It was the most romantic thing someone had ever said to me.
“I want to be able to look at them and remember this. You.”
“I want a copy.”
“Sure.” He brushed his fingers over the small of my back, sending a spark up my spine. “Now stand still.”
I indulged him and stayed in place. He unzipped the bag and slid out his DSLR. He changed something and then held it up to his face and clicked the shutter. Taking a look at the screen, he moved ever so slightly to the left and held it to his face again.
“Look at the fire.”
I did as I was told. He came close and moved my arm with the drink a fraction and placed my other arm over the back of the sofa.
Click. Click. Click.
He set the camera aside and took a seat on the edge of the chair next to me.
“Done with my repayment so soon?”
There was a light in his eyes. “Not a chance.” He looked me over, his eye stopping on the top two buttons of my shirt which remained undone. “But you’ll want that photo. To release for something. You look too alluring and regal to not have it. It was more for you than for me.”
I was shocked. “Let me see.”
He picked up the camera again and leaned closer to me to show me the screen. I looked like something out of a novel. Mysterious and alluring. I liked it. And I didn’t like many photos of myself.
“You’re quite talented.”
He sat back, keeping the camera in his lap. “How much liberty are you giving me?”
I mirrored him and looked him over, taking my time with my answer. “Why are you asking?”
Lust crossed through his gaze. “Take off the shirt.”
I obliged him, slowly working my fingers down the buttons. I slid it off and set it aside. He looked me over, hungry. My cock stirred at the look. I’d never felt so desired by another person. He slid forward on the seat and brought the camera back to his face. I stayed as I was until he told me to move.
“Sit on the edge of the table,” he said breathless.
I was glad this was getting to him as much as it was me. It was entirely foreign to give someone such a thing over me. To allow someone to take these photos. It was daring and exhilarating. I’d have to be careful or I’d get addicted to the acting out like some bored teenager.
I sat on the edge of the table closest to the fire, and he moved back to take a few shots. I looked up when he hadn’t said anything in a few moments to find him just watching me. The fire illuminated his scar, and I wanted to kiss the length of it, from his brow to his lips. I licked my lip and my chest rose as I inhaled fully, trying to calm myself. He snapped another photo.
“What do you see?” I asked, unable to stand wondering a moment longer. I wanted to know how he saw me.
“I see hunger,” he said as he came closer. “The way you look at me.” The camera hung at his side as he stalked closer.

AUTHOR BIO 

When not staying up all night writing, J.R. Gray can be found at the gym where it’s half assumed he is a permanent resident to fulfill his self-inflicted masochism. A dominant and a pilot, Gray finds it hard to be in the passenger seat of any car. He frequently interrupts real life, including normal sleep patterns and conversations, to jot down notes or plot bunnies. Commas are the bane of his existence even though it’s been fully acknowledged they are necessary, they continue to baffle and bewilder. If Gray wasn’t writing…well, that’s not possible. The buildup of untold stories would haunt Gray into an early grave, insanity or both. The idea of haunting has always appealed to him. J.R. Gray is genderqueer and prefers he/him pronouns.
