Expected Release: Fall 2014

After you took her from me, everything changed. I knew my life would never be the same, and it wasn't. But just because I was isolated, trapped, and afraid, I never gave up. I kept on fighting. You thought you could control me, but you were wrong. 

There’s one thing that you could never take from me; HOPE. And with that, I overcame the struggles and the despair. I battled against my inner demons and confronted the tortures that surrounded me. And here I am today; free.

And now, it’s you that’s confined. You cannot escape; you cannot win. There’s no one to help you now. Everyone sees you for what you truly are; a monster.

I’m not afraid of you anymore. I will start a new life; one that you cannot control. And as I take steps toward a new beginning, I won’t ever look back.

Little Things (Second Chances #1)

Goodreads

Everything in Duke Grayson’s life was all he could ever ask for: A loving family, loyal friends, a beautiful girlfriend, and a scholarship to his top choice college. It’s his senior year of high school, and all he needs is to focus on his grades, lacrosse, and keeping his girlfriend happy. That is until Raya walks into his life.

From the moment they meet, Duke is drawn to her, not only for her natural beauty and her stunning crystal blue eyes, but because he’s aware there’s more to this girl than just his alluring pull to her. He senses secrecy and fear.

Throughout the year, their bond grows stronger, and his feelings for her become undeniable. Just when he is about to express his love, tragedy strikes and Raya disappears.

For six years, Duke is tortured by his struggles, as he’s unable to find her and blames himself for failing to protect her. Until the day, she’s found, and he’s given a second chance. Will Duke become her beacon of hope and make her see that it’s the little things that make life worthwhile? Can Raya overcome her fears and fight against the terrors that haunt her? Or will her dark and torturous past be too much for her to battle against?

*Warning: This book contains some disturbing situations, strong language and sexual content. Suited for 18 years and over.

A Sunday Recommendation: The Executive Decision Trilogy by Grace Marshall

Grace Marshall is the author of the fabulous The Executive Decision Trilogy.   She is offering readers the opportunity to read the first chapter of the first book in the series An Executive Decision. You can read it here on Grace's website.

The hero of the book Ellison (Ellis) Thorne, is one of my very favourite book boyfriends, and I don't give out that praise very often. He's clever, wears a suit and cares for the environment.  What is not to love?

Grace Marshall's alter-ego, K D Grace, writes critically acclaimed, best-selling erotic romance. Whether it's sexy romance or romantic sex, between The Graces, there's a story for you.

Overworked CEO Ellison Thorne has no time for sex, let alone romance. The only answer, at least where his retiring business partner Beverly is concerned, is a no-strings sex clause in her replacement’s contract, designed to make Ellis’ busy life easier – and hotter. But she’s joking, right?

When Dee Henning takes over Beverly’s job, sparks fly between her and Ellis, but work takes priority in driven Dee’s life too. Can one night of passion in a Paris hotel room prove Beverly’s Sex Clause is their secret to success in the boardroom and the bedroom, and what will happen if that private clause becomes public knowledge?

Cover Reveal: Raced by K. Bromberg

The Colton Points of View Collection

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author K. Bromberg comes a companion novella to the best selling Driven Trilogy (Driven, Fueled, and Crashed). This novella is a compilation of reader requested scenes from the series retold through the eyes of Colton Donavan.

Colton Donavan lived life in the fast lane, but it took Rylee Thomas to teach him what racing was all about.

Arrogant

Rogue

Broken

Conceited

Dirty-Talking

Rebel

Egomaniacal

Voodooed

Bent

Reckless

You think you know me?

Think again.

*Raced is not a complete re-write of the Driven Trilogy. This companion explores pivotal scenes as well as some new ones written in Colton Donavan’s point of view that were not previously published in Driven, Fueled, and Crashed. Hear his thoughts, experience his inner-turmoil, and laugh with him on his journey as he overcomes his demons and accepts what it means to love.

This novella is for the devoted readers of the Driven series. It is recommended that this companion be read after Driven, Fueled, and Crashed.

“Well, according to you, I took the checkered flag last night, Rylee...” I say as I take a step toward her trying to snap my thoughts in line, make up a reason for being here besides the need to make sure she’s okay when I could have just picked up the fucking phone. I resist the urge to reach out and touch her because I know if I do, my dick will rise to the occasion and do the talking for me. And fuck if I know what it will say.

She licks her lips, dick beginning to win the internal thought process when I suddenly figure out my angle – my in – my stupid ass excuse for showing up the morning after like some pussy-whipped douchebag. Because fuck, you can’t get pussy-whipped after just one taste. Shit like that takes time to acquire.

Or so I’ve heard.

This man might be drawn to the pussy palace but fuck if its queen will hand out orders that I’ll obey.

I take another step toward her, still undecided about my excuse for being here when I glance down momentarily and see her nipples harden through her tank. Well at least I know she’s still attracted to me. Let’s see if I can make her like me again. Give me another chance.

Bingo. Truth shall set me free. There’s the answer. I just want another chance when I’ve never wanted one before.

And therein lies the second question, another chance at what though?

Cover Reveal - Irreparably Broken by H. D'Agostino

Madison Kennedy has always seen herself as damaged goods. Her ex-boyfriend, Richard, told her on a daily basis that she was worthless. After a tumultuous three year relationship, Maddie finally decided to leave behind the bruises and hurtful words only to find herself scared and alone. Five years have passed, and it still seems like yesterday.


Cole Walker grew up in a household where it was okay to hit. His father used him, his mother, and sister as punching bags when he didn’t get his way. Cole learned early on that life wasn’t always fair. Aside from his best friend, Wes, no one knew his deepest secrets. He thought he’d never escape the nightmare until one day he decided to fight back.



After several chance encounters, Cole and Maddie realize they have more in common than either one could have guessed, but both are afraid that if they open up they’ll scare the other away. Can two broken individuals find peace with each other? Can love heal a cracked soul? Will Cole’s secret past ultimately drive Maddie away?

Excerpt #1

I wasn’t sure what I was feeling when I left the gym that day. Exhaustion? Happiness? Desire? Lust? I didn’t think it could be love, but I knew it was something. Cole had burrowed his way into my heart, and each day he got a little deeper. I smiled to myself as I climbed into my car. Friday’s date couldn’t get here fast enough. The more time I spent with Cole, the more I wanted to be with him. He was shining a light in my life that I didn’t even know existed anymore, and because of it I was off my usual game.
I’d always been aware in the past of anyone around me, and if I’d been paying attention instead daydreaming when I left the gym that night I would have notice the black Mercedes parked across the street and the feeling of dread that tried to settle in the pit of my stomach. I’d pushed it aside instead of listening to it, and I’ve been kicking myself ever since.

Excerpt #2 

“Hey, no sleeping yet,” Cole nudged me as we turned into the parking lot of his building. It had only been a few hours since I’d been here, but it felt like a lifetime. “Let’s get you upstairs and into something more comfortable.”
“I don’t have anything here…what would I change into?” I turned to glance at him. He had a smirk firmly in place as he snickered, “Exactly!”
“Cole!” I gasped.
“What?” he rolled his eyes before turning to face me completely. “You’re beautiful,” he lifted his arms. “Why is it so hard for you to think that I don’t enjoy you naked?”
I could feel my face heating, and I began twisting my hands together in my lap. Cole grunted slightly as he shoved open his door and rounded the front appearing on my side before I had a chance to react.
“I guess…” I trailed off.
“What?” he reached for my hand to help me out and then tucked me into his side as he led me to the door. “What’s going on in there?” he pointed to my head. “Tell me…please?”
“Richard always said I was a lousy girlfriend,” I let the words fly out of my mouth without taking a breath. I avoided looking at him, worried at what I might see when I did.
He paused with his hand on the door knob as he quickly shook his head, “That asshole didn’t know what he was talking about.” He quickly unlocked the door, and tugged me in behind him before pressing me into the wall, and covering me with his body. “You are the sexiest thing alive, and I thoroughly enjoyed myself last night. Don’t you ever question your abilities when it comes to fucking. You’re brilliant…you hear me. Fucking brilliant, and I want an encore right now.”
As his lips pressed to mine in a deep kiss, his palms slid around my middle and dipped into the back out my scrub pants cupping my rear. He began kneading the soft flesh as he pulled me into him. “Oh god I want you,” he groaned as he broke the kiss. “Right now!” He yanked his hands out, and gripped my top in the process, tossing is over my head. Our mouths crashed back together before we both fumbled with each other’s pants. He was wearing a pair of athletic shorts, and as soon as I loosened the drawstring, they easily slid over his hips. His erection sprung free pointing directly where it wanted to be, and I shivered in anticipation. “So beautiful,” he murmured as his mouth moved to run across my throat. He rolled his hips forward, rubbing his cock through the wetness that was slowly leaking down my thigh. “And so ready,” he growl as a finger pushed into me.

Review - Indestructible by Angela Graham

I only discovered the Harmony series about a month ago, so feel lucky that I didn't have long to wait to see where Logan and Cassandra's relationship was heading.

I love this book couple. The author has done a fabulous job creating these mult-faceted characters. Cassandra is head-strong, passionate and determined. She shows that she is nobody's fool, whilst coming across as loving and caring. The kind of woman we'd all love as a friend. Then there is Logan ((swoon)), drop-dead gorgeous, he's very protective, secretive and hot-headed. But underneath all that lies a romantic, thoughtful and generous lover and father. Together, their relationship just gets stronger and better, despite all the obstacles that are thrown in their way.

In this third book in the series, there is plenty of drama to test the strongest of relationships. Both Cassie, but especially Logan proves that nobody is perfect. Like many couples, communication doesn't always flow in both directions. However, Logan and Cassandra show maturity when dealing with situations that are out of their control, never loosing sight of their love for one another, even when things get tough.

Jax. He's a young, immature, irritating man-whore. But scratch the surface, you'll see a guy with a heart of gold. I felt sorry for him at times. He has good intentions but he just doesn't seems to execute them without causing chaos along the way. Of all the supporting characters, I hope we get to hear his story because all the qualities are there for us to fall in love with him too. He just needs to find his place in the world and file off some of those sharp edges.

I don't normally like stories where children play a sizeable role. Especially when their dialogue is written in a childish way. Thankfully, nothing like this for Oliver, who acted and spoke like a child of five years old who was just cute and adorable.

Overall this is a fabulous, suspenseful, and sexy read. I've loved every word of Logan and Cassandra's journey to a HEA and thoroughly looking forward to reading about them as supporting characters in a spin-off series.

Review - Jane's Harmony by Ryan Winfield

I love a suprise, especially after a book I pre-ordered nine months ago finally appears on my Kindle app. Jane's Harmony by Ryan Winfield has finally arrived.

Jane and Caleb's story takes off from where we left the couple from Jane's Melody; in Austin, Texas building a new life together, making the best of their current situation. Their lives are far from ideal, Jane having to accept that she isn't the main provider and relying on Caleb to put a roof over their head. Caleb in turn working a day job to pay the rent whilst pursuing his musical aspirations in his spare time. A change of luck enables Caleb to chase his dreams, but in reality he questions the compromises he has to make to achieve them. Meanwhile, Jane is unwavering in her support for the man she loves. Likewise Caleb's only sure feeling is his undying love for Jane.

In addition to our heroine and hero, there's an eclectic cast of supporting of characters. Ryan has a unique way of bringing them all to life, making them real and believable. Never one to shy away from difficult topics, sensitive issues are dealt with in a sympathetic and compassionate way, drawing complex emotions from the characters. This book is well written in a visually descriptive way.

Jane's Harmony can be read as a standalone novel, but to fully appreciate Jane and Caleb's unique story and how they met, I highly recommend Jane's Melody too.
