My Review-Even Money by Alessandra Torre

Even Money (All In Duet Book 1)Even Money by Alessandra Torre
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This is another book to love. Another book I will add to my favorites. Another book I will add to my re-read list.

The writing and the story: Slow methodical rhythm and hypnotic gets into your head and your heart.

I was hooked from the start. This is the story of Dario and Bell. But, the other characters and the action going on around the main story are all an intricate part and they are were in my mind as I was enthralled with Dario & Bell’s story. The action kept me at the edge of my seat asking “Where is this going? What’s going to happen next?” I did not want to put it down, but I paced myself, because I didn’t want it to end.

The slow burn of Dario and Bell’s relationship, the thoughts and the unleashing: BAM! There was no going back.

Favorites:
“He turned to me, and in the direct eye contact, I felt unstable, a scrap of paper loose in a hurricane.”

“I’m worried…”
“Worried about what?”
“If I have you, I’ll never be able to let you go.”

“Ready?”
I didn’t know what I was supposed to be ready for, but I nodded. I nodded, and the man atop me exploded into action.

Thoughts that went through my head as I read:

Does Dario know what Robert is up to?
What the F**k!!!
OMG! I love Dario.
Will Gwen and Dario work this through?
Is Bell a badass – will she come out on top.
What an ending!! OH NO!!! Now what?
Counting down the days to June 18th when Double Down releases!!

Come A Little Closer by Kim Karr

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Blurb
I haven’t always been this bad…
Up until recently, I was the kind of girl who wore white cotton panties
and bent at the knees rather than the waist.

Pomp and circumstance changed all that.

Jaxson Cassidy was my first taste of bad, and I liked it more than I
should have. Just not in the way I was meant to. I couldn’t help myself though.
I found him irresistible. That sexy grin, those skilled fingers, and that
dirty, dirty mouth were a lethal combination.
I wasn’t supposed to want him. I wasn’t supposed to let him put his
hands on me. I wasn’t supposed to do a lot of things…but I did.
He wants to keep me close.
I should push him away.
He says he can help me.
I’m not so sure.
For some reason, he thinks there’s good left in me.
What if he’s wrong?
Everyone knows a good boy can’t turn a bad girl around.
Everyone knows it’s always the other way.
Everyone…except him.

Author Bio
Crazy woman from a remote location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since … forever? Yeah, that sounds about right. I have been told that I remind people of Lucille Ball – I also see shades of Jennifer Saunders, and Denis Leary. So basically, I laugh a lot, I’m clumsy a lot, and I say the F-word A LOT.
I like dogs more than I like most people, and I don’t trust anyone who doesn’t drink. No, I do not live in an igloo, and no, the sun does not set for six months out of the year, there’s your Alaska lesson for the day. I have mermaid hair – both a curse and a blessing – and most of the time I talk so fast, even I can’t understand me.
Yeah. I think that about sums me up.

Emma Carling is just an ordinary girl. She works a stressful office job in London, her commute is hell and she hates her boss. Romance? The slender brunette may be stunning, but for the last couple of years she’s just been trying to survive. And she doesn’t do one-nighters. She’s English, she’s straight, and she’s a good girl.

Then comes a life-changing moment. She tells her manager exactly what she thinks, and storms out of her job. Is it a huge mistake? As the dust settles and the reality of a month without salary dawns, she’s full of doubt. Then a seriously wealthy friend of a friend hints that she’d make huge cash as a premium escort. Emma laughs it off at first. She’s so not that kind of girl.

But then she starts to wonder what it’s like to be so wanted, so wealthy, so powerful. And the rich Charles offers to pay for her to attend a secret, exclusive escort school in the English countryside…

Can Emma shake off the shackles of her conservative upbringing? What will she be asked to do at this unusual school? Will she get on with the select group of fellow trainees? Will she fall for the staff? The other girls? Can she live with her feisty peers…and can she live with herself?

Synopsis-Unleashed

Emma Carling may have graduated from escort school with distinction – but her journey has only just begun. Now she must prove her seductive skills in the real world: the five-star hotels and lavish mansions of London. She must make the city’s most connected, powerful and wealthy men sit up and take notice of her. She must become a pedigree sex machine.

But will she really earn the life-changing money they spoke of during training? Will she die of shame or learn to love opening her legs for a living? Is she dominant, submissive or both? And what if her friends, or worse yet, her parents, find out about the crazy twist her career has taken?

As the heat in her new work rises, Emma crosses paths with a mystery man who pays to abuse her – both mentally and physically. She is never allowed to see him, but she hears his hot, threatening whispers loud and clear in her ear. She fears he is someone who knows her well, yet their encounters fill her with more passion than she cares to admit. And then there’s Charles, who paid for her schooling and worships every inch of her body as though she’s a work of art. He prefers prostitutes to marriage, but she stands on the brink of falling for him.

Will lust trump fear? Will romance conquer leather belts and metal chains? Can her faithful school friends and experienced agent help her? Find out the answers by joining Emma on her wickedly liberating ride through an exclusive world. A dark, sexy world of which nobody ever speaks…

synopsis (1)

“If I have learned anything in life, it is that love is dirty and cruel. Love is frail, too easily shattered by lies and betrayal. Real love is a pipe dream, something I never wanted anyway. Or so I thought…”

Baddest of the bad boys, Justin Dorsey is all about the pleasure life can bring. As bassist for the Bangin’ Mofos, he has reaped the rewards of his life on the small stage of the Copperline Bar by night and paid the bills as a college professor by day. He’s kept the two totally separate. Isolated.

Then he finds himself captivated after a night that cannot be undone. He’s suddenly tempted by his sole taboo. A thirst he must not quench. An itch he must not scratch. A craving he simply cannot satisfy.

The bigger they are, the harder they fall, and Justin’s world crashes down around him. Everything he thought — everything he knew — tells him to stay away.

But the need only grows stronger. The memory only intensifies until it consumes him. That one forbidden touch.

That taste of hot, dirty love.

about author

Sibylla Matilde grew up in the mountain valleys of Southwest Montana, and grew up exploring the alfalfa fields on the back of a horse. She attended a two-room schoolhouse 1st through 6th grade where she had same teacher the whole time. Beginning at about age 12, Sibylla discovered historical romance, feeding off of work of Jude Devereaux, Lisa Kleypas, and Karen Robards. She loves a book that can make the reader run the gamut of emotions, from the sweet glow of new love to gut-wrenching heartache. She always has stories floating around in her head, living in some fantasyland until she writes them down to free them. She is a true romantic, a bit of a Pollyanna, and a deeply emotional soul.

Music is her emotional trigger. Growing up with a Wagnarian-opera-loving mother, Sibylla grew up with music that digs deep into her soul and pulls out emotion. The soundtrack to her life includes different genres and generations. She looooooooves Thirty Seconds to Mars (rather obsessively, actually) with a little Kings of Leon to mix things up, and pimps them out regularly to all her friends through Spotify. She also enjoys watching Met Opera HD broadcasts at her local movie theater, and hopes (listening Met?) to someday see Diana Damrau reprise her role as Mozart’s Queen of the Night in Die Zauberflöte – The Magic Flute.

Sibylla lives with her husband, Mike, a man who she firmly believes saved her from her self-destructive, hot mess self. He makes her laugh every day, even when things seem to be falling apart around them, and has proved to her that love really can heal a shattered soul. In 20 years, they have never had a fight, but argue regularly with their two teenage kids who have, unfortunately, inherited their father’s quick wit (unfortunate as it is a quick wit that Sibylla, herself, definitely does not possess – there is a reason she is a writer and not a stand-up comedian), and live a quiet life with their two weird little rescued Chiweenies. Wait… teenagers and little yap-dogs? Okay, maybe not so quiet.

Vol. 1
She’s sexy, fierce, and a loud-mouthed know-it-all…and she’s completely off limits.

Cecilia isn’t your typical college student. Hell, she isn’t a college student at all, but that doesn’t stop her from applying for one of the biggest and prestigious enterprises in the Midwest.

She wants it. She takes it.
She doesn’t let anything get in her way when it comes to finding out the truth.

When Bentley Leighton, soon-to-be CEO of Leighton Enterprises, meets “Ceci,” he’s instantly impressed. He doesn’t have time to train a new intern. However, when he sees her that first day, his intentions begin to change.

He’s the boss. She’s the intern.
Nothing can happen. It’s against the company rules.

Then again, rules were made to be broken.

What starts as innocent flirting becomes raveled up into so much more—secrets, lies, deceit.

Vol. 2
My cock noticed her before I did.
She came out of nowhere.
Completely unexpected.

And I let her in…unwillingly.
But she gave me no choice.
She sledgehammered my thick walls, leaving me charmed by her knowledge, and seduced by her beauty.

I was captivated.

And now…it was about to tumble down in a tsunami of lies.
Uncertainty riveted my core as my anger spread…she was impossible to forget.
After all, she was still my intern.

Forbidden.
Lust.
Betrayal.

I felt all of those things for her at once. But only one would destroy us.

Vol. 3
I should’ve known.
I should’ve listened to my gut.
But I didn’t.
I listened with the wrong head.
And where did it get me?

Secrets.
Lies.
Deceit.

She embodied them all.
Deceived her way into my company.
Lied about who she was.
Kept secrets from me after convincing me I could trust her.

Those walls she tore down are back up in full force.

Cold.
Angry.
Unforgiving.

She was no longer my intern.
She was no longer mine.

After the Internship
Sometimes happily ever after isn’t quite what it seems.

You thought their story was over, but it was only the beginning.

Introductory Price $0.99

One Week of Summer: A Novel

Synopsis
TRAGEDY.
With no mother she can remember, a father lost years ago, and a beloved grandmother gone too, Maggie Mooreland knows the meaning of the word like no other.

VICTIM.
By age fourteen, she was labeled as such by her peers. And she couldn’t fight it. Or even deny it. By seventeen, she might as well have had it tattooed on her forehead.

HOPE.
Even now that she is eighteen, and officially an adult, it’s still a foreign concept. An ideal never to be realized. Something for others to have and for Maggie to envy.

Until she meets him. Theodore Kimball (Teekay) Marcus. He’s wild and spontaneous and gorgeous and the heir to a real estate fortune. He knows what he wants and he takes it. And remarkably, incredibly – he sees Maggie as more than just the sum of her past.

But it’s not going to be easy.

SECRETS.
Teekay has them. Maggie knows it. And they’re like an unhealed wound, waiting to be bumped in just the wrong way so they can bleed all over again.
He’s hiding something that can hurt her.
He’s hiding something that’s already hurting himself.
And Maggie is terrified that this is the beginning of the end.

ONE WEEK.
A lot can happen in seven days. But will it be long enough to heal their hearts and their minds? Or will it tear them both apart?

Excerpt

He kissed me with a hunger that took my breath away.
He was holding back before, I realized.
He held my hair and gripped my rear end and moved his hips in a slow circle that made me pant.
He sucked my bottom lip. Hard.
Then he let me go and spoke gruffly against my mouth. “Make me another promise, Maggie.”
I nodded because there was no chance of forming a string of words into a coherent sentence.
“Never. Ever. Be sorry for wanting something. Especially if that something is me.” He ran his thumb over my swollen lips, then pulled me to a sitting position. “Now let’s get out of here so I can kiss you properly.”
My heart hammered in my chest at the thought that there was a way to kiss someone any more properly than how he’d just done to me.

A Woman’s Pleasure

A Woman’s Pleasure

A Woman’s Pleasure by J.F. Kelly

Follow the sizzling hot, yet romantic and sensually sexual adventures of twenty-five very different men as they encounter their first sexual, most erotic, and most sensual experiences in satisfying the desires of women in A Woman’s Pleasure.

The erotic adventures of A Woman’s Pleasure will carry readers to a new, heightened state of sexual awareness. Each of the many sexual experiences is surrounded by an aura of romance, respect, and mutuality, where both women and men experience total pleasure and complete satisfaction.

Making love is not something you do to someone—it’s something you share. Women should be equal players in the sexual encounter. They express their sexuality as intensely as men and should also participate as much as men do in driving the lovemaking experience.

The real-life sensual, sexual, and lovemaking interactions in these stories will empower women to seek sexual fulfillment and show men how to make love so that women will achieve sexual satisfaction.

Men will discover how to give sensual, sexual pleasure to their women and understand that by giving pleasure, they will receive pleasure—which is something that can’t be learned from watching porn.

At times, these stories make you blush; other times, they’ll leave your heart—and other body parts—throbbing. They are sure to stimulate your senses, stir your thoughts, and inspire your fantasies. More importantly, men and women alike will realize what it means to make love and feel unparalleled pleasure.

Visit http://www.awomanspleasure.com/reasons.php for more.  The following is a partial list  from the author’s website.

REASONS FOR WRITING THE BOOK

  • People are more open and accepting of discussing, reading about, and improving their sexual relations and lovemaking.
  • There is greater acknowledgement women enjoy sex and lovemaking as much as men. Furthermore, there is increasing awareness women fantasize about sex and lovemaking as much as men. The book recognizes this throughout its sensual and lovemaking encounters.
  • Each chapter is devoted to a different man. These men give women what they want. There are plenty of fantasies for women.
  • Men reach orgasm most times four to five times faster than women so the book depicts men who are attentive, passionate and take time in their sexual and lovemaking encounters so both women and men reach orgasm together or close in time to each other. Women are always satisfied in their lovemaking experiences
