Keyonna Davis...take me away to Pine Valley!

I am so happy I found this series!! The writing it excellent and the stories really keep you on your toes!

I love the characters and can not wait for the next book! Strong Alpha men who take charge and women who are independent! They can take care of themselves but know when to lean on their fellas.

Oh and the steam is plenty sexy! But honestly the stories are entertaining enough to stand with out it! Click on the photo for each book to read my individual reviews!

If you have not tried Keyonna Davis I highly recommend checking out the first book! You will be hooked!


Nowhere to Hide (Pine Valley #1)

Nowhere to Hide (Pine Valley #1) 
After suffering years in an abusive relationship with her detective boyfriend, Sam, Cane Parker has finally had enough. She finally escapes after six months of planning and ends up in the small town of Pine Valley, Oregon.

Sheriff Duncan Matthews and Deputy Logan Summers are best friends who share everything, including women. They are looking for the perfect woman to settle down with, and when they meet Cane, they know she is the one. Unfortunately, Cane doesn't trust anyone in law enforcement.

Duncan and Logan know they are going to have to work to convince her that she belongs with them, all the while protecting her from a madman who will stop at nothing to get her back.

Note: Extreme explicit violence committed by the villain against the heroine.



Faceless Enemy (Pine Valley #2)

Faceless Enemy (Pine Valley #2)
Chase Matthews dropped everything to move home and take care of his family after his parents died in a tragic car accident. He never thought he would hear from his old life again until he gets a call from his former commanding officer asking for his help to guard his daughter.

Kerri MacGregor didn't have the life that most girls had growing up. While other girls were playing with dolls and learning to wear makeup, she was learning how to shoot guns and wearing camouflage. She never thought escaping a kidnapping would bring her face-to-face with the man that she has had a crush on since she was fourteen.

Chase realizes that Kerri is not the gangly teenager that he first met, and sparks begin to fly between them. Unfortunately, the kidnapper is still out there and wants revenge, and he needs Kerri to get it.


Innocent Secrets (Pine Valley #3)

Innocent Secrets (Pine Valley #3)
Jessica Garrison is an erotic romance writer who considers herself a fraud. She is really a shy librarian and a twenty-five-year-old virgin, not the hot, steamy author that her fans think she is. She has been in love with Riley Matthews since the third grade but is scared to talk to him. In fact, she runs in the other direction whenever he gets near.

Riley Matthews has been fascinated with Jessica ever since he could remember. He just can’t get her to stand still long enough to let her know he’s interested. Finally, home after graduating college, he plans to make her his.

Jessica eventually gets enough courage to stop running and realizes that Riley is the Prince Charming she has dreamed of since she discovered reading and fairy tales. Unfortunately, there is another that wants Jessica. She has attracted a stalker, and he plans to keep her for himself.

Heartbreaker Blog Hop

This is my first hop as a blogger so bear with me! I hope I did everything right!! Welcome and if you have a minute take a look around!! If you have any trouble let me know!!

Are our heroes heartthrobs or heartbreakers? Or are they just the same thing? Yummy right? Valentine's Day is just around the corner for this blog hop and we're gearing up to see what exactly is a heartbreaker. Is the song playing in your head line mine? "Cuz he's a heartbreaker!" We love those sexy men, but what about those times in the story when they aren't perfect. Because come on, we know they aren't perfect. What makes those men heartbreakers? What can those guys do to make it better? Is there a way to grovel? Come on! Tell me about your heartbreaker!!

Almost 300 bloggers have giveaways and posts about those men we love! 

But that's not all....

We have THREE grand prizes. You as a reader can go to EACH blog and comment with your email address and be entered to win. Yep, you can enter over 200 times!


Now what are those prizes?

1st Grand Prize: A Kindle Fire or Nook Tablet
2nd Grand Prize: A $100 Amazon or B&N Gift Card
3rd Grand Prize: A Swag Pack that contains paperbacks, ebooks, 50+ bookmarks, cover flats, magnets, pens, coffee cozies, and more!


For me Heartbreakers are those Bad Boys who don't let their emotions show. Well not until worn down by the woman who captures their heart. They definitely fight it tooth and nail and only admit to their feelings when they have no other option. They are the uber-alpha males who make a lady work for every sentimental word they utter, which isn't much! They show more of their feelings in deeds than words. Their possessiveness is the number one sigh of what is in their hearts! And when they love they are all in! That is how I view them!

My favorite hearbreaker of all time is Dawg Mackay in Lora Leigh's Nauti Boys series. He is all in with his lady and will not compromise! And when he shows that soft underbelly you just melt!

Nauti Nights

Nauti NightsISBN: 042521740X
Publisher: Berkley
 James “Dawg” Mackey has lusted after sweet Crista Jansen for years. Just as many as she’s spent running from him—and from that dangerous attraction that shot like a spark through her whole body. But now for Crista, running isn’t an option anymore because Dawg’s got a plan. It’s kind of low-down. And kind of hot.

Blackmail is a dirty word, but Dawg will use it if that’s what it takes to get Crista where he wants her. His hungers are too hard and fierce not to. He doesn’t realize that Crista has a longing too. She’s knows what he’s up to, what he’s capable of. He didn’t get that nickname for nothing. And before the night is through, Crista’s making him work for it.


Who is your favorite literary Heartbreaker?

An Affair to Dismember (The Matchmaker #1) by Elise Sax


An Affair to Dismember (The Matchmaker, #1)


Genre - Romance, Chick-Lit, Mystery

Summary - Certain to appeal to fans of Janet Evanovich, Jennifer Crusie, and Katie MacAlister, Elise Sax’s hilarious series debut introduces matchmaker-in-training Gladie Burger, who stumbles into a dangerous quagmire of murder and red-hot romance.

Three months has been Gladie Burger’s limit when it comes to staying in one place: She’s always been a temp agency kind of girl, ever ready to move on. That’s why Gladie is more than a little skeptical when her eccentric Grandma Zelda recruits her to the family business in the quaint small town of Cannes, California. Gladie is also highly unqualified: Her beloved grandmother’s business is matchmaking, and Gladie has a terrible track record with romance. Still, despite evidence to the contrary, Zelda is convinced that her granddaughter has “the gift.” But when the going gets tough, Gladie wonders if this gift has a return policy.

When Zelda’s neighbor drops dead in his kitchen, Gladie is swept into his bizarre family’s drama. Despite warnings from the (distractingly gorgeous) chief of police to steer clear of his investigation, Gladie is out to prove that her neighbor’s death was murder. It’s not too long before she’s in way over her head—with the hunky police chief, a dysfunctional family full of possible killers, and yet another mysterious and handsome man, whose attentions she’s unable to ignore. Gladie is clearly being pursued—either by true love or by a murderer. Who will catch her first?

My Rating - 4stars

My Review - I received a copy free through Goodreads First Reads.

What a fantastic fun read!! I love quirky characters and this one has plenty! They are engaging and interesting on many levels. 

I adore Grandma Zelda!! She reminds me of my own quirky Gran!! And I can really relate to poor Gladie!

So many wonderful things to say about this well written fast paced story. The mystery was interesting but not overwhelming.

The romance is nice but I wish every book did not have a love triangle...unless it is a menage where they don't have to choose! I kinda doubt that is where is is headed! The sexy cover is about as steamy as it gets!! But I ain't mad about it, sometimes a nice warm cuddly read is good!

If you a fan of Stephanie Plum you are very likely to love Gladie Burger!I can not wait for the next book and am definitely adding Elise Sax to my authors to watch list!

Cover Art - Very interesting!! It caught me attention and kept it! I mean damn... look at those abs!! I could just look at the book all day and be happy!! A very Lust-worthy cover but it is a bit misleading about the heat level inside.

A Series Abandoned


 Genre: Futuristic Multicultural Menage

One of the reasons I am a big reader is because I love stories! I absolutely must know what is going to happen! This is one of the top reasons I love series. They keep the story going and share supporting characters lives. It is like visiting with an old friend.

The worst thing that can happen is an author abandoning a series! It leaves the reader hanging in so many ways! I understand your muse leaving you or feeling disillusioned by reviews of lack of readership  But what about the dedicated souls who pushed through the second book because they loved the first one? Where does that leave them when you choose not to write the third book in a trilogy?

Yeah, I am speaking about s specific book series. I won a copy of Spirals by Beth D. Carter and loved it! It was written in a very creative manner and obviously meant to be part of a trilogy. I searched for the second book and the author let me know it was released but not well received. She was kind enough to pass it along  for my perusal. It also seemed to have editing problems and it we clear that the book was guided in a direction other than it was heading toward.

The problems with the second book lead to the third being abandoned. I say what about the loyal reader like myself who is hooked and needs to know that other tale? This is one of those things that will rest in the back of my mind and pop up every now and then. It is sad but true books unfinished keep me up at night. It is like a tv series that ends on a cliffhanger that never gets resolved because it is canceled. They keep me up at night as well!

I beg you authors not to start a series you are not going to finish!! It puts the reader in a bad spot. Once I start a story I must know the ending! Please let your characters guide you and not an editor who is pushing you toward what is hot or popular. I agree with help with writing and but not when the story takes a major hit! It doesn't stop me from still wanting that last book! I will forever be left to wonder!

Spirals

Spirals 

by 

Kaori Carnelian was only sixteen when Los Angeles was hit by an earthquake that devastated it. With the world trying to recover from a plague that has wiped out half of the population, she learns how to survive by her wits and a great ability to hide, scavenging through what is left of LA.
Years later, the government sends in recon men Sergeants Tobias Noble and Orion West to find any survivors before another earthquake destroys everything. They find her pleasuring herself and instantly both want her. Her world spirals out of control in a very delicious way. But when the men have to go find two others in their regiment that are missing, Kaori has to decide if her love outweighs her instinct for surviving.
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: Anal play/intercourse, menage (m/f/m), voyeurism.
My Review - The only reason this is four stars and not five is because I think there is more story to be told!!! I tried to find if this is a series to no avail. I want to know what happened with the other two rescue teams!!!
I really enjoyed this after the whole end of the world hoopla this week! I was in the right mindset for a good post apocalypse read!! 

There was plenty of steam here but also a well written story to go along with it. Kaori is a tough chick who is perfectly patched with West and Noble! Overall a really well rounded love story with just enough adventure to keep you on the edge of your seat!!!

I really hope there are more!!! Like Sar/Mari/Gabe and Hyde/Evie/Seek stories to fill in the blanks left in this story!!!

  Genre: Post-Apocalyptic Urban Fantasy/Paranormal

Kismet


All of her life, Evie Rhoton has had visions of the immediate future. Her dreams are of two men, Kristian Seek and Hyde Galloway, and she travels her adult life tracking them down in the post-apocalyptic world after a virus has devastated the population.
She gets a dream that shows the two men in trouble and heads to Los Angeles despite a lot of trepidation. She finds the stoic side of Kris a perfect match for her soul, but questions her idea of love when her attraction for Hyde flares out of control.
The three race against time, trying to save a colony of survivors from the oncoming deadly earthquake. But will Evie's choice of lovers be her destiny or their ultimate destruction?
Publisher's Note: This book contains explicit sexual content, graphic language, and situations that some readers may find objectionable: anal play/intercourse, violence.
My Review - To begin with I want to be clear the writing was great. I was very eager to read the follow-up to Spirals. However it falls short of the mark Many times the book seems confused about whether it is a single couple or a menage. I am told this is due to editing. It is very clear the characters wanted to go in another direction. This makes things difficult as a reader, I can see where the story wants to be and how it would have been better in that direction. I am very sad that the way this book did not take means the third book in the story will not be written.
Regardless of being left hanging the series is worth a serious look!

The Trouble with Valentine's by Kelly Hunter


The Trouble with Valentine's

Genre - Chick Lit, Mystery

Summary - The perfect Valentine’s gift?

As far as women’s fashion accessories went, he was spectacular. A black-haired, cobalt-eyed, dangerous- looking toy who no doubt warned you outright not to bother playing with him if you didn’t like his rules. He was like a Hermes handbag; women saw and women wanted, even though they knew the price was going to be astronomical.

Hallie Bennett likes a challenge, though – and his offer is tempting: $5,000 if she pretends to be his wife for a week. It might not be the most traditional Valentine’s Day proposal… but she’s hardly a traditional girl. Maybe a week in the high life, with a man to match, will be just the ticket. Just as long as she doesn’t start wishing the ‘I do’ is real…

*Expanded version of Wife for a Week

My Rating - 5stars

My Review - So, I have a little extra insight here because a few years ago I read Wife for a Week, of which this book is an expansion.

This was a great story and had everything extra the original was missing. Hallie is a fantastic character and I see much of myself in her, that might be why I love her so! The shoe shopping is one of my fav scenes! She is just so flighty and feisty and fun!

And I must say my book crush on Nick has only grown!! He is just so delicious!! Sigh...why can't I find a millionaire who needs a pretend wife while shoe shopping? Maybe I need to shop more, yeah that's the ticket!

A fun and fast paced store with snappy dialogue. It warms up in the romance department but never gets too steamy. But I truly don't miss the steam because the story is so good!

Oh, and there is a mystery of a murder plot to solve!! What more could a girl ask for in a book?

The perfect read to kick off February! I am really hoping this is kick starting a series because there were several supporting characters who are screaming for their own books!

Cover Art - Cute illustration that is certainly eye-catching.

Waking Up Married by Mira Lyn Kelly

Waking Up Married

Summary - Her first thought: "Who are you?"
It's the morning after her cousin's bachelorette party in Vegas and Megan Scott wakes up with the mother of all hangovers. Even worse, she's in a stranger's penthouse having woken up with something else as well - a funny, arrogant, sexy...husband!
Up until now, finding even a boyfriend had seemed impossible - been there, got the broken heart, sworn off men for good. Then a few martinis with Carter...no, Connor Reed and she's gone from first meet to marriage in one night!
Megan wants a lawyer. But Connor's shocking bombshell?
"I don't want a divorce."
My Rating - 4stars
My Review - Oh I think I am going top love this new line from Harlequin!! This was a great read from beginning to end!! I loved Megan and her forthright attitude. She was the perfect spunky match to Conner and his seriousness. Conner was just Alpha enough top keep my attention. 
It was a really sweet read and not my typical steamfest. That did not stop it from being a wonderful story. It did get mighty warm though! A very modern sort of marriage of convenience tale. 

I loved how she kept forgetting his name! It made me giggle a few times.

In the end the expected drama leading up to a HEA! Sigh...Harlequin always did have a way of reeling me in to a nice cuddly romance!

Cover Art - Cute, typical Harlequin. It is nice but not an eye catcher.

PUP Squad Alpha series Review

Vampires' Witness (PUP Squad Alpha, #1)Warlock's Way (PUP Squad Alpha, #5)Demon's Embrace (PUP Squad Alpha, #2)Wolves' Bite (PUP Squad Alpha, #6)I love me some paranormal hotties!! And this whole series is great! And it is all menage...double the pleasure double the fun!!

The books start with a bang and a mystery. The PUP Squad is like the police of the supernatural world. So many hotties to choose from. Vampires, Warlocks and Weres...oh my!

Angel's Touch (PUP Squad Alpha, #7)Sure the books have story arc flaws but if you can overlook minor annoyances the series is great!. Well planned stories that interconnect nicely. Each heroine needs saving but has her own strength in the end. The guys have personal drama they need to overcome to win their woman.

Sorry MM lovers these fellas are strictly about the ladies! Oh but the steam is a flowing ! Who said you can't get busy while in danger! That is the best time!!

Dragon's Fire (PUP Squad Alpha #3)The mystery elements are nicely done although the story could have had a little more meat on it. But it was still entertaining.

Abby Blake has several other series out but this was my favorite. The others are interesting but not as well done. She improves with each new book. Definitely one to watch!!

The cover art is super hot!! I mean lick the screen if you must! Very lustable!

Definitely worth a read! take a trip over to Siren Publishing to pick them up!

Once Upon a Time in Bliss by Sophie Oak




First and foremost I have to say I love everything Sophie writes!!
This is the eighth book in the Bliss, Colorado series. I recommend reading them in order!! If you have not read the books you are missing out! What are you waiting for? Drag your PC over to Siren and get these books!! They are super steamy, funny reads with plenty of story to back up the sexy scenes! I laugh and cry with each new book!

This should be a fairly safe review if you have not yet read the book. I try to be spoiler free! Oh, and I love to talk books so feel free to comment!


Once Upon a Time in Bliss (Nights in Bliss, Colorado #8) by 

Once Upon a Time in Bliss (Nights in Bliss, Colorado Prequel)
Summary - CIA operative John Bishop arrived in Bliss, Colorado seeking a respite from the high stakes game of blood and lies that sent him to the worst corners of the world. A week playing the role of vacationing professor Henry Flanders would recharge his batteries, especially if he found a submissive plaything to occupy his time. 

Nell Finn has spent her life focused on helping others, but when she meets the tall and mysterious Henry Flanders, she can’t stop imagining what he might do for her. When Nell and her mother are threatened, Henry comes to her offering his protection and comfort. 

But as the threats escalate out of control, Henry discovers that the beautiful and innocent Nell is much more than a plaything. Can he save the woman he loves without exposing the secrets that would drive her away?

My Rating - 5stars(If I had more to give I would!!)

Cover Art - Beautiful!! Hot image!

My Review - I have long been waiting for this book!! I love Bliss, Colorado! This series is steamy, funny and a great story every time! 

Going in to it I was unsure how much I would like the prequel, I hate knowing how a story will end. That was not a problem!! Lots of fresh details and insight into the lives of the denizens of Bliss. 

I have always loved Nell and her protests so seeing how she and proper staid Henry matched up was fantastic. It puts a whole new meaning on every time she says "Yes, Henry" in previous books! Love the BDSM angle!

You see more of young Logan in this book and officially meet his BFF Seth! They are a hoot! But don't tell his moms! I am so ready for their book next! You are a naughty, naughty book tease, Sophie!

I freely admit to crying at a couple points in the book. Even though I know Henry and Nell are together from previous books! I still choked up!

Oh, Dearest Sophie, after the epilogue you really need to buckle down and get the next book out ASAP!! I do not think I can wait too long!

I would not mind a insiders guide as a bit of a refresher. So many books interconnected and many characters to keep track of, not a complaint, just an observation. I may just need to reread all the books just for good measure. That will buy you a little time in getting the next book out!

Check out all the sexy Bliss, Colorado books!!

Asher's Dilemma by Coleen Kwan

Asher's Dilemma

Summary - Ever since he awoke one day on the floor of his workshop with a brain-splitting headache, Asher Quigley has been haunted by fleeting visions of a beautiful woman everywhere he looks—a woman he's sure he knows, but can't recall. In spite of this he has finished his most wondrous invention yet, one that will literally make history: a time machine. But before he can complete his exacting calculations a bizarre accident causes the device to be activated, with him inside! He awakes to find himself in his lab, eight months in the past, and suddenly he remembers her…

Asher knows that something in the near future causes Minerva Lambkin, the woman who turned down his marriage proposal, to be erased from existence. And he's sure it has something to do with his device. Alone in a familiar world where he doesn't belong, he'll have to find a way to destroy the time machine to save the woman he loves from extinction. Even if that means erasing his own future.

My Rating - 4stars

My Review - Steampunk is a bit of a new genre for me. I really enjoyed this book. The characters were well thought out and interesting on many levels. Asher has to make some very serious choices and it is great to see him grow as a person to realize what is really important. It was a little weird having two versions of him around. Nice romance angle going and I totally get how Minerva would be attracted to both versions of Asher.

This was a novella so that equals quick read. It was fun, quirky and moved at a great pace. I really enjoyed the writing and style. I will definitely look more into this genre! I almost forgot how much I enjoyed Jules Verne as a kid and this is like a grown up type version!

One complaint, this was not marked as a sequel. I have a reading OCD when it comes to series or connected books. I now have to go back and read Asher's Invention to fill in some gaps. It did not really matter for understanding this book but the previous book plot twists are definitely spoiled for me when I read it.

Cover Art - Beautiful!! I love this cover and it is one of the reasons I requested the book.

DESCRIPTION

This book is loosely related to Scarred and Kilt from the anthology Something Wicked This Way Comes, Volume 2.
Jasmine met the guy of her dreams, who unfortunately wasn’t interested. She’s spent a year filled with lustful fantasies and soul-deep yearning for a man who doesn’t want her. Now she’s locked away in a dark hole, kidnapped by a madman, her life almost over. She’ll never know what could have been, if only he’d felt the same.
She was supposed to be his a year ago, but Chase had walked away to protect her from his world. He’s a mixed-breed—vampire and werewolf—and his list of enemies is endless. His current mission is to hunt down and kill a rogue vamp who’s preying on humans, but what Chase finds changes everything. Jasmine’s one of the victims. 

Instinct demands he protect her, possess her. He won’t be denied again. This time, she’s his—for keeps.

I wanna move to Divine!!!

Divine Creek Ranch series

15 works, 14 primary works

Tucked into the western edge of the rugged Texas Hill Country, Divine is located at the junction of Heather Rainier's romantic imagination and her wildest fantasies. Like many small towns, the citizens of Divine look after each other, gossip about the rule-breakers, and are in each other's business.

Divine has been developing an inner circle of characters involved in polyamorous love relationships, whose main goal is to stay out of the limelight, while staying true to each other and themselves. Judgment and moral outcry make this hard at times, but the lovers do their best to make it worth the effort.
How does a woman inspire two or more men to love her so much that they are willing to share her? Come to Divine, Texas and explore with Heather Rainier why it's possible for one woman to have a heart big enough to love more than one man…(taken straight from the Goodreads series page!)







I love love love this series!!! Fantastic stories and some super hot steamy lovin!!! Great writing and creative scenes! Inventive bedroom and not so bedroom scenes!! Most of the books are menage but some only have one hero to lust over. But the single heroes are man enough to carry through! One of my favorites is Eli Wolf in Her Gentle Giant. What a delicious tall drink of water he makes!! 

Heather Rainier is certainly one of my favorite discoveries authorwise! Her book are always delightful and have refreshingly well though out characters. While there is plenty of steam involved there is more there than just sex!! Sometimes they don't get down to business until halfway through the book! And it is great that the love scenes are not cookie cutter erotica. They are fun and she comes up with some very interesting situations!
For individual book reviews go to my Goodreads and look at the books! 

Oh and I would be remiss if I did not mention all the super hot cover art!! Always something to drool over. I am also very impressed that the women are not all stick figures. Many times you are reading a story about a BBW and there is an practically anorexic chick on the cover!! I especially love the real sized model on His Tattooed Virgin! And the hot tattooed stud!

This series has also introduced me to a fabulous website for sexy lingerie  Hips and Curves has tons of sexy apparel to drool over!

This is the first series I introduced my Gran to this Christmas when I gave her a kindle. She is really loving them! This is her giggling her way through the first book! Love it!!

I can not wait for the next book!! I hope it has three dishy bears who are super protective and perhaps a wayward belly dancer to keep them on their toes!! This wonderful series is published by one of my favorite erotic publishers Siren Publishing.

Semper Fi Hotties!!


I started reading a new series that I adore!! It started out just trying to add a few quick books to my reading list to pad my results for my Book A Day Challenge on Goodreads. So, I picked a series in the 1Night Stand Collection from Decadent Publishing.
I selected Heather Long’s Always a Marine series because the covers are hot and Marines are a wet dream anytime!!
Once Her Man, Always Her Man (1 Night Stand, Always a Marine, #1)Retreat Hell! She Just Got Here (1 Night Stand, Always a Marine, #2)Tell It To The Marine (1 Night Stand, Always A Marine, #3)Proud to Serve Her (1 Night Stand, Always a Marine, #4)Her Marine (1 Night Stand, Always a Marine, #5)No Regrets, No Surrender (Always a Marine #6)The Marine Cowboy (Always a Marine #7)
So yummilicious!! Let me take care of this drool real quick!!
Now at first glance these books are a wham bam thank you ma’am. But there is where you are wrong! There is a terrific story wrapped in this delicious packaging! The characters are well thought out and well written. It was a pleasure to read the stories and I did not even mind that the steamy scenes did not happen until the end in most of the books. But when it got steamy…boy howdy did it get steamy!!
The basic premise is that a group of Marines signed up for the exclusive dating service to help a few fellow Marines get back into the swing of civilian life. Over look the silliness of that situation and the stories are wonderful. They are truly heartfelt read that had so much more depth than I first suspected!
I am in total lust with this series and can not wait for more! They really were quick reads so I probably won’t feel guilty for reading them again!!
