Even salvation can be delivered through the love of the damned… 

Beauty can be a curse. 

Faith can be a cage. 

Only love can set you free. 

A few long weeks after being reluctantly ripped from the comforting embrace of her sacred prophet’s religious commune—the only life she has ever known—a terrified Delilah is thrust into a world enveloped by evil and swimming in sin. 

Steadfastly devout in her faith, and retaining the deep belief that her soul is innately tarnished as a branded ‘Cursed woman of Eve’, Delilah is determined to find her way home to her people in The Order and away from the corrupt and damned outlaw motorcycle club—The Hades Hangmen—who hold her at their secluded compound for her protection—a 'protection' she strongly resents. 

Delilah yearns to return home, convinced that only amongst her own people, and under the holy guidance of the Lord’s revealed prophet, can her Satan-spawned soul be truly saved. Conditioned her entire life to believe she is a witch... a life-long temptress… the devil’s whore... Delilah increasingly resents her beautiful face, her shapely body and her sensuous effect on men. But when a man of the motorcycle club—a deeply sinful yet stunningly beautiful man—is charged with her care, Delilah begins to see that this dangerous and moralless sinner from the 'outside' may offer her something she did not know could truly exist: unconditional love. 

Kyler ‘Ky’ Willis loves his life: a daily abundance of brotherhood, liquor, the freedom of the open-road and—best of all—his pick of hot women. Raised a biker brat and now VP of the most notorious MC in the States, Ky has no shortage of club sluts warming his bed; a situation he takes full advantage of… until a certain blonde enters his life… a gorgeous pilgrim-blonde he can’t get out of his head… a pilgrim-blonde he and his club recently-rescued from some backward religious cult… and a pilgrim-blonde he’s been ordered to keep the hell away from and his whorish hands off. 

When yet another in a lengthy line of drunken blunders forces Ky to reluctantly take charge of the pilgrim-blonde’s care, he realizes that there could be more to this woman than just supermodel looks and a stacked set of tits. He begins to see that she could be the woman who could do the impossible—tame his wild ways and capture his reluctant heart. 

But the unyielding bonds of Lilah’s past are strong, her ‘people’ determined and, with a new Prophet in charge and hell bent on revenge, they are mightily reluctant to let her go... 

Dark Contemporary Romance. 

Contains explicit sexual situations, violence, disturbingly sensitive and taboo subjects, offensive language, and very mature topics. 

Recommended for age 18 years and up*

Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven ARC Review

Title: Bad Romeo

Author: Leisa Rayven

Series: The Starcrossed Series #1

Release Date: December 23, 2014

Synopsis:

When Cassie Taylor met Ethan Holt at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing, Cassie and Ethan's romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and betrayed her trust. Now the A-list heartthrob is back in her life and turning her world around. One touch at a time.

Cast as romantic leads once again, they're forced to confront raw memories of the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their secret college affair. But they'll also discover that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks.

Five Stars

WOW!!! LOVED THIS ONE....It was like 250 pages of really intense foreplay!!

Honestly, this was the second book in a row that I read that had no sex until the very end. I kinda loved that about it!!

Cassie and Ethan had such a love/hate/lust thing at times my head was spinning. I am not sure what it was but this was one of those stories that you felt so much for both characters that you really wanted the HEA for them. No worries, I promise you'll get there but it is a long, exhausting, sexually frustrating ride!

I think my favorite parts were when they did plays together, so hot!! I loved it all but the play scenes were super sexy!!

Ok, so we're really doing this. A sex scene between a virgin and the man who hates that he wants her. Should be fun.

I got this great book from Netgalley and thought it sounded good, but I love when I stumble upon a gem like this. I can't wait for book two and I highly recommend it to pretty much everyone!

Writing has always been a passion for Leisa, and even though she originally intended to be an actress, it wasn’t long into her time at drama school that she began writing plays.

Those plays were bad. Very bad. Well, her friends thought they were good, but that’s because they were always cast in them and any opportunity to be on stage was met with an obnoxious amount of enthusiasm.

Since then, she’s honed her craft, and several of her plays have been produced and toured throughout Australia.

These days, playwriting has given way to fiction writing, and Leisa’s debut novel, BAD ROMEO, will be available in a worldwide release through Macmillan Publishing in December 2014.

Leisa lives in Australia with her husband, two little boys, three cats, and a kangaroo named Howard. (Howard may or may not be her imaginary marsupial friend. Everyone should have one.)

Eyes Turned Skyward by Rebecca Yarros ~ Dream Cast + ARC Review

It is our pleasure to have Rebecca Yarros on the blog today with a special guest post! Today is release day for Eyes Turned Skyward, and this is her dream cast! Take it away, Rebecca...


Thank you so much for having me! I have to say that dream casting is one of my favorite things to do. When else can you look at pictures of hot guys and know it’s legitimate work?

Let’s start off with…

Jagger Bateman.

He’s absolutely Alex Pettyfer, and has been since Full Measures. Blonde hair, gorgeous eyes…heck, gorgeous everything, and a smile that kills. Yep, Jagger all the way. Jagger is a new army Lt, determined to graduate top of his class in flight school.

Paisley Donovan.

My Paisley is definitely AnnaSophia Robb. She has Paisley’s golden tresses, petite frame, sweet disposition and spark of fun. Paisley is the daughter of the commanding general, and definitely Jagger’s biggest weakness.

William Carter

Paisley’s uber-perfect, uptight boyfriend is definitely Steven Krueger. Oh, did I mention that he’s Jagger’s biggest rival at flight school? Yeah, that gets awkward really fast.

Morgan Bartley

Paisley’s best friend and roommate. She’s sassy, loyal, and not afraid to tell Paisley, or Will, how it is. She’s Nina Dobrev to me.

Grayson Masters
(Rebecca casts fitness model Mike Thurston) Jagger's quietly intense roommate, who is there when he's needed, but doesn't let anyone or anything in.

And what would Eyes Turned Skyward be if we didn’t have a little of the Full Measures cast to join?

Josh Walker

He’s in flight school with Jagger, rounding out the trio of guys living in the house, and taking every weekend he can with Ember. Josh is Theo James. Always. Those eyes, that smile, that body? Josh. Josh. Josh.

Ember Howard

She’s still in college at Vanderbilt, but spends every minute she can with Josh. My Ember will always be Bonnie Wright.

Samantha Wallace

Ember’s best friend is back, welcoming Paisley into their little group. She’s very Kat Graham to me!

Magnolia and Richard Donovan

Paisley’s parents are still reeling from the loss of her older sister, Peyton, more often than not overstepping their parental boundaries with Paisley. Definitely Mark Harmon and Felicity Huffman for me!

That’s it for Eyes Turned Skyward!

Thank you so much for having me, and giving me an excuse to look at pictures of Alex Pettyfer. ;)

 Thanks! ~Rebecca

What an awesome cast selection! THANK YOU, Rebecca, for stopping by. Congratulations on this new release!!!

Release Date: December 8, 2014

Synopsis:

Since her sister's death, twenty-year-old Paisley Donovan has been treated like delicate glass by her parents. She may share her sister’s heart condition, but nothing will stop her from completing her Bucket List, even if it kills her. And it almost does, until Jagger Bateman pulls her from the ocean and breathes more than air into her lungs—he sets her soul on fire.

Jagger is enrolled in the country's toughest flight school. He's wickedly hot, reckless, and perfect for a girl looking to live life to the fullest. Except that Paisley is the commanding general's daughter, and her boyfriend is Jagger's biggest rival. Now Paisley must decide just how much to risk for a guy who makes her heart pound a little too hard.

They're flying through dangerous territory—and one wrong move could make them crash and burn...

Five Stars

An unforgettable, passionate story!

Twenty year-old Paisley Donovan lives with a heart condition, and she’s counting her days. She lives each day trying to check things off her bucket list. To say her parents are overbearing is putting it lightly, but I understand why they’re that way, since they already lost a daughter. The whole situation this family endures just saddens me. Jagger Bateman is a cocky, non-relationship type of guy whose biggest dream is to fly. Jagger just got into flight school, and he realizes he can’t afford any distractions until the day he rescues Paisley.

In an unforgettable story with alternating POV, there is both instant attraction and a beautiful, gradual build up of romance. Paisley and Jagger both have things that they delay telling each other, but neither can resist and ignore the unresolved, unexplored tension sizzling between them. It’s a story that seeks truth and forgiveness and is so very passionate! While reading Eyes Turned Skyward, I wrapped myself around each word and each character until I was utterly consumed by everything that happened. Yes, it’s that type of story…all-consuming.

Although Josh and Ember from Full Measures are part of this book, Eyes Turned Skyward can definitely be read as a stand-alone. I personally haven’t read Full Measures, but I loved Josh and Ember so much that I now need to backtrack and read their story. I know there are many fans! New-to-me author, Rebecca Yarros, is a phenomenal storyteller, and I’m glad I was given the chance to read this story. I adored every bit of Eyes Turned Skyward!

About the author

Rebecca Yarros is a hopeless romantic and lover of all things chocolate, coffee, and Paleo. In addition to being a mom, military wife, and blogger, she can never choose between Young Adult and New Adult fiction, so she writes both. She's a graduate of Troy University, where she studied European history and English, but still holds out hope for an acceptance letter to Hogwarts. Her blog, The Only Girl Among Boys, has been voted the Top Military Mom Blog the last two years, and celebrates the complex issues surrounding the military life she adores.

When she's not writing, she's tying on hockey skates for her kids, or sneaking in some guitar time. She is madly in love with her army-aviator husband of eleven years, and they're currently stationed in Upstate NY with their gaggle of rambunctious kiddos and snoring English Bulldog, but she would always rather be home in Colorado.
