Blog Tour ~ Burn for Me by Lauren Blakely ARC #Review

BLOG TOUR

BURN FOR ME
by:  Lauren Blakely
Release Date: June 9, 2014
Novella length


 Book Synopsis:
She’s the one fire he can’t put out…
Jamie Lansing has had it bad for firefighter Smith Grayson for as long as they’ve been friends. Yes, he’s ridiculously charming and she might stare a little too long at his abs, but his dirty-talking, rough-around-the-edges ways aren’t for her. Plus, she knows that as a serial dater, Smith isn’t the type to settle down. But then a terrible, fantastic, mind-blowing mistake leaves her body craving more than one night.
Smith Grayson has only ever had eyes for one woman in town—his best friend Jamie. But convincing her a relationship between them will work is next to impossible with her refusing to see beyond his past. But when she asks for a week of no-strings-attached sex to get him out of her system, Smith knows this is his one chance to prove he’s not just the man she needs in her bed, but the man she needs in her life.

3.5 - 4 Stars

A little taste of the naughty goodness is just not enough!

Jamie has always resisted the attraction she feels for her friend, Smith. She prefers sweet and romantic. He's the total opposite of the type of guy she thinks she should be with.

Smith Grayson...wowza! I really don't know how one can resist a fireman/construction worker/volunteer/pleasure-giving hunk, but Jamie does. She has huge trust issues when it comes to men who she observes Smith to be. All the more reason for him to do his best to win her heart, right? Game on! Will one heated moment of giving into their desires be enough? I don't think so, especially when Jamie discovers that being naughty with Smith can be good thing.

A friends-to-lovers situation can be a tough place to be. Jamie has so much doubt and struggles with taking a chance on who her heart wants. Lauren Blakely continues to write some of the best steamy scenes out there, and the ones in this novella do not disappoint. Smith and his dirty talking all make Burn for Me a fun, fast, sexy read!

 After This Night
  
AFTER THIS NIGHT EXCERPT:
“I wish I were there wearing your clothes right now.” He laughed. “That’s what you want to be doing? Because I’d like to be fucking you if you were here.” “Well, that too. But then I’d put on your shirt.” “You like that, don’t you?” “I know you do too,” she said. “I do. Seeing you in my shirt and your heels is my kryptonite.” “Oh, is that it? That’s your kryptonite?” “Or maybe it’s just that you are,” he whispered, admitting more than he wanted to. “I think the same could be said here.” There was a pause, and though they were three thousand miles apart, the silence was heady. He was in a drugged-out state tonight. This woman was his pill, and closeness with her was what he craved most even as he feared she would destroy his heart. Smash it to a million tiny pieces and eat it for lunch. But he had a built-in barrier in distance, and with no trips to San Francisco on his immediate calendar he saw nothing wrong with this temporary moment of relief from the pressure inside of him from wanting her. They couldn’t be together in any meaningful way, and he couldn’t get hurt if he didn’t actually see her. Right? Right, he answered for himself. “What are we doing, Julia?” he asked, and he was sure she could hear the longing in his tone, but he didn’t care. There was no need to hide it after they’d just broken down and pleasured themselves together. “I wish I knew,” she said, her voice wistful and full of yearning. “I really wish I knew.” He heaved a sigh, trying to sort out his thoughts, but his brain was a mixed-up mess and he didn’t know how to untangle all the threads. Or if he wanted to remain tangled up with her instead. “What are you going to do when we hang up?” he asked, changing direction. “Read a book.” “What are you reading these days?” “A crazy story about a guy who treks across Antarctica.” “That does sound crazy.” “Yeah. He’s kind of hallucinating and talking to penguins right now,” she said with a small laugh. “Can you blame him? I have to imagine if you’re stuck in the polar ice cap that talking to penguins might be a rare source of comfort.” “As long as he doesn’t eat the penguins I’ll keep reading it.” “Here’s to no penguin meals in the books we read.” “What will you do?” “I suspect I will fall fast asleep and dream of a beautiful redhead on the other side of the country.” “She would like that dream very much,” she said in a sweet voice, the kind that worked its way beneath all the hard edges in him, and settled deep in his heart. “Will I talk to you again soon?” He took a fueling breath, and put his armor back on, steeling himself. “I don’t know the answer to that."

About AFTER THIS NIGHT:
This is the conclusion of Julia and Clay's story that began in the New York Times Bestseller Night After Night.
"Why do you like me tied up sometimes?" "Because the way I feel for you is so out of control that this is one way for me to feel in control again." Their world was passion, pleasure and secrets. Far too many secrets. But Clay Nichols can't get Julia Bell out of his mind. He's so drawn to her, and to the nights they shared, that he can't focus on work or business. Only her. And she's pissing him off with her hot and cold act. She has her reasons though-she's trying to stay one step ahead of the trouble that's been chasing her for months now, thanks to the criminal world her ex dragged her into. If only she can get out of this mess, then maybe she can invite the man who ignites her back in her life, so she can have him-heart, mind and body. He won't take less than all of her, and the full truth too. When he runs into her again at her sister's wedding, they have a second chance but she'll have to let him all the way in. And they'll learn just how much more there is to the intense sexual chemistry they share, and whether love can carry them well past the danger of her past and into a new future, after this night...
Please note: This book is intended for 18+ due to dirty talk, light bondage, and lots of sexy scenes.

Far Too Tempting by Lauren Blakely

Jane Black has written the breakup album of the century, earning her a Grammy, a huge legion of new fans, and the pressure to repeat her success. Sure, the heartbreak from her husband’s unconventional abandonment might have been her inspiration, but it hasn’t done her any favors in the dating department. So when Matthew Harrigan, the toughest music journalist out there, asks for an interview, Jane agrees—as long as her personal life is completely off-limits.

British, gorgeous, and way too tempting, Matthew’s the first guy Jane’s been attracted to since her husband. As she spends more time with him and their relationship heats up, though, so does her writer’s block. How can the queen of the break up pen the perfect follow-up when she’s seriously in love?

Music, romance and a yummy British sweet talker!



I knew the moment when I read the synopsis for this book that I had to read it. Far Too Tempting was my first time reading anything from the lovely Lauren Blakely, and I am thoroughly impressed!



I found Blakely to write incredibly likeable characters. Jane is a rock star who hit success big time with her breakup album. She's also under a lot of pressure to write her next album. When Matthew Harrigan enters the picture wanting to write a story on Jane, oh boy! This British, dark-haired, blue-eyed music critic is such a sweet talker right from the start. As Jane and Matthew spend time together, her shredded heart begins to heal. On one hand that is good, but on the other hand her creative juices just aren't flowing leaving her with an extreme case of writer's block.



I truly enjoyed every single page of this romantic comedy. Yes, Jane is a rock star, but she's written to be so down-to-earth. You get to see her being a mother to her adorable, young son. You get to see her interact a lot with her family and friends. You also get to see her struggle to move on with her life and learn to trust again. I adored her inner dialogue and how she gets inspired to write music. In the beginning, Matthew is a little relentless seeking out Jane's attention, but he does it in such a smooth way. Both Jane and Matthew are two passionate people. Their emails to each other made me grin. Their banter was often playful and flirty. I just loved them together!



Set against a New York City backdrop, Far Too Tempting is overall fun and romantic. If you like reads with musicians and sexy British guys, then definitely check this one out. Also, Matthew loves to read! What is it about men who love to read? Reading is sexy, you know!!!
