Book Blitz ~ Prisoner (Criminals & Captives #1) by Annika Martin & Skye Warren

SYNOPSIS
He seethes with raw power the first time I see him—pure menace and rippling muscles in shackles. He’s dangerous. He’s wild. He’s the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen.
So I hide behind my prim glasses and my book like I always do, because I have secrets too. Then he shows up in the prison writing class I have to teach, and he blows me away with his honesty. He tells me secrets in his stories, and it’s getting harder to hide mine. I shiver when he gets too close, with only the cuffs and the bars and the guards holding him back. At night I can’t stop thinking about him in his cell.
But that’s the thing about an animal in a cage—you never know when he’ll bite. He might use you to escape. He might even pull you into a forest and hold a hand over your mouth so you can’t call for the cops. He might make you come so hard, you can’t think.
And you might crave him more than your next breath.
"Sexy, dark and thrilling. I loved every second of it!" – New York Times bestselling author Katie Reus

Blog Tour ~ Alec (Slater Brothers #2) by L.A. Casey

Synopsis
Keela Daley is the black sheep of her family. She has always come second to her younger cousin Micah. Even in the eyes of her mother, Micah shone bright, and Keela faded to black. Now, in adulthood, Micah is a bride-to-be and the spotlight is solely on her. Keela is a low priority…or so she thinks.


Alec Slater is a bachelor, never one to bed the same woman, or man, twice. He is a free agent who does what he pleases and answers to no one; that is until a fiery Irish redhead with a temper to match her hair colour knocks him on his arse. Literally.


She hates to admit it, but Keela needs a favour from the cocky Slater brother, a huge favour. She needs him to not only escort her to Micah’s wedding, but to also pose as her boyfriend. Alec agrees to help Keela, but has certain conditions for her to abide by. He wants her body and plans to have it before anyone can say I do.

What he doesn’t plan on is losing his heart as well as the possibility of losing his family when someone from his past threatens his future.


Alec owns Keela, and what Alec owns, Alec keeps.

“I’ve only known you for a few days you have already made an impression on me. Nobody has ever made an impression on me. You’ve worked your way under my skin and you’ve done this by pissing me off.”

After reading the first book in the series, Dominic, I was really looking forward to more. Not only are the Slater Brothers HOT, but if book one was any indication, the heroines they’re paired up will not be your typical heroines. If you’re anything like me, I love my heroines headstrong and know how to put the Heroes in place. If Keela was anything like Bronagh, I was going to love this story. But would the HOT brothers and snarky heroines be enough?

“I’m possessive with what is mine.” He moved his head up to my mouth before releasing it with a pop. “And until I say otherwise kitten, you’re mine.” 

Keela is desperate. Her cousin Micah is getting married and she needs a date to her wedding, but not just any date, she needs someone to play the loving and doting boyfriend.

Enter Alec Slater. He’s everything she doesn’t want to need: Sexy, cocky and arrogant. Yea. You know where this is going...

If you’ve read Dominic, we all got to know a little about Alec. He’s Dominic’s older, ex-escort, bisexual brother. As soon as he set his eyes on Keela, it was game on. But many problems arise while trying to woo Keela, including Keela herself and the past that consistently haunts him.

“Oh, I’m bettin’ there is a bad girl deep insider her somewhere. I’ll just have to use my fingers, mouth, and cock to bring her out to play.”

As much as wanted to love this book, I just couldn’t. I mean, it was good, but so many things bugged me. First off, it really took a while for the story to get going; yes, very slow moving. Second, OMG! I swear I got a case of blue balls waiting for <i>something</i> to happen. Thirdly (and this is huge) is that I had a hard time coming to terms with what Alec did. I’m sure if you read more reviews, they’ll mention what “did” is. No worries though, this book won’t deter me from wanting more Slater Brothers.

Light Her Fire by Samanthe Beck ~ Release Day Review

Happy Release Day to Samanthe Beck!

What is it about a HOT fireman?

Title: Light Her Fire
Author: Samanthe Beck
Series: Private Pleasures #2
Genre: Adult Contemporary Romance
Release Date: October 20, 2014

Synopsis:
He’ll show this good girl the thrill of being bad… 

Good girl Melody Merritt is ready to be bad. Fresh out of an unsatisfying ten-year engagement to the town golden boy, she’s determined to make up for lost time. And who better to burn her sterling reputation to the ground than Bluelick’s sinfully sexy new fire chief whose wicked gaze promises complete and utter domination? Yes, please.


Corrupting the prim and proper Little Miss Bluelick is the most action Josh Bradley’s seen since he transferred from Cincinnati to fast-track his career. He won’t let anything or anyone—not even the delectable Melody Merritt—trap him in this Kentucky-fried Mayberry, but when their searing chemistry yields an unexpected result, he realizes he’s started a blaze that's completely beyond his control…

5-Alarm HOT Fireman Alert!

I’m back for more of Samanthe Beck’s yummy stories, and this one is a HOT one, folks!  As I started to read Light Her Fire, I backtracked a bit and decided to read book 1, Private Practice, first.  It was a short read, and boy was I glad I took that side detour.  For those who have read Private Practice, you know that scene between Melody and Josh? Yeah, thaaat one! I know y’all wanted more of them after reading that particular scene. Well, Ms. Beck graciously indulges us on how that scene came about with more delicious detail in Light Her Fire! That alone should be worth reading this! Don’t worry, even if you have not read Private Practice, I’m happy to tell you that Light Her Fire can be read and enjoyed as a stand-alone.

This Private Pleasures installment is indeed Melody and Josh’s story.  Josh Bradley just moved to the small town of Bluelick as the town’s new fire chief.  He’s still not sure about setting up roots and staying in town, but meeting Melody Merritt sure did make things way more interesting.  Melody is known as Bluelick’s prim and proper good girl, and she’s freaking tired of that! I mean who could blame her after waiting and waiting for the right man to come along to help her unlock and explore her passionate side. This chick is ready for some naughty in her life!

“This man wanted to get down and dirty…with her. No hesitation.” eARC loc 176

Thank goodness that Josh is there to help her out.  Samanthe Beck is amazing at writing great sexy stories, and I think she stepped it up a notch with Melody and Josh’s scenes as they were pretty off-the-charts steamy.  I also loved where she took the story, as well. The mystery/suspense aspect kept me reading. A few of the secondary characters were warm, fun, and make for true friendships. Ms. Beck also very slightly teased on which couple will be in the next book. If my guess is correct, I can’t wait for more!

Read Light Her Fire if you’re in the mood for some small town steam with a good girl trying to be bad with a HOT fireman! Just be ready to fan yourself!
