Broken Barries by Sara Shirley

 






BROKEN BARRIERS
Author: Sara Shirley

Series: Barriers Series Book #4
~ SYNOPSIS ~

It was just supposed to be a “friends with benefits” type of fling. Feelings were never supposed to get in the way. Drew Daley never thought Courtney Page would be the one to change all that.

He watched her walk away to pursue her own dreams while Drew’s Marine Corps orders sent him packing for a tour of duty in Afghanistan. Something told him to never let her go; to fight for her and his country.

Can a decision from years ago make all the difference in one’s future?

Time has passed. People have changed. Lives have gone in different directions. Drew returns broken and torn after nearly eighteen months overseas and everything isn’t what it was when he left. Life after deployment isn’t nearly as easy to fit into as he thought. Until new friends and familiar faces enter his life and everything changes.

When his mind is trying to piece together all the puzzles surrounding his life, Cole Porter might just be the one to heal his broken heart and guide him in the right direction. However something about Cole is vaguely familiar to Drew. Despite what his head tells him he begins to get closer to her.

Will Drew finally be able to let his heart heal and move on?

Sometimes you have to face your dreams and fears all at once in order to recover. Otherwise you may never heal the broken pieces inside of you.

~ ABOUT THE AUTHOR ~

Sara Shirley

I think my love for books started when I was a teenager on summer vacations reading Mary Higgins Clark novels. As I grew older that turned into reading romance novels. Now, that’s turned into me writing three romance novels and another on the way in the series.

In college I actually majored in Geography and concentrated in Travel & Tourism. I still love to travel constantly, but now find myself working in the world of Finance during the day and writing romance novels at night.

I was born and raised just north of Boston and currently live with my husband and cat. When I’m not running a mile a minute with work and books you can find me at a local wine tasting or out with friends at the pub doing shots of Patron. I have a weak spot for candy, Ghirardelli chocolate to be exact. I am addicted to the three “C”s. Coffee, Cheese and Carbs. I grew up with an Italian family and giving those up will never be an option.

I typically have a dirty mind and zero filter between my head and my mouth. If you are around me…good luck. I’m obsessed with hockey, Oregon football, beaches, Supernatural, Friends and stupid comedy movies. I’ve been called a “tall drink of water” due to my height and love for platform heels. Chances are you will not miss me if we are ever in the same room. Just look for the chick laughing hysterically, wearing heels and holding a glass of wine in her hand. That will be me.

Under His Restraint by Alexa Davis

 


Under His 4


9006a-add-to-goodreads-button31


button synopsis


The sexy new series that will test your boundaries…


Natalie Jacobs is a reporter trying to do a story on the panty dropping Dante Devereaux, a billionaire computer hacker who sells foreign government secrets to the CIA. This story could make her career and she’s willing to do anything to get it, even if it means sleeping with the enemy. The only problem is men aren’t ever into her so getting the story could be difficult.


Dante Devereaux is cocky and isn’t scared of anything, even the FBI investigating him for selling the United States government’s secrets to foreign governments. He knows he can do whatever he wants since he has the power to hack anyone or anything and benefit from the information and that includes Natalie Jacobs who he will do everything possible to take control of.


Little do they know that they are both completely different people than they thought.

The Emerald Virgin by Ravyn Rayne









EMERALD VIRGIN

Blushing Books Publishing




Erotic Romance, Dystopia

CONTENT WARNING: Spanking and Erotica



TheEmeraldVirgin_500x755 (2)

 



glitterbase (9)
 
Emerald – a girl with green eyes and a rarity after the horrific genocide that slaughtered millions. 

 


After the war, King Gideon rose in power. A lust-filled and greedy king that believed in the power of slavery.

At eighteen, women were required to come before King Gideon and his four sons, to offer themselves as a courtesan. The princes took only those they found most attractive and alluring. The rest were returned to their homes with a brand on their wrist proving they had been through the process and rejected. Ignoring the ritual was punishable by death.

Aria Stone had been kept hidden from the princes and the ceremony, because she was an Emerald. At twenty-three, the royal guards storm her home, murder her mother, and drag her to court. She must face the four princes.

A dystopian erotic adventure.







glitterbase (4)

 


“Your guards murdered my mother, dragged and drugged me from my home. Anything else you wish to know?” Aria asked, short-tempered.

James stepped close enough to feel his breath against her cheek. “I can see your reluctance to be here, but I assure you no harm will come to you, Aria.”

It was hard to believe him given the circumstances. Aria crossed her arms defensively. She didn’t say a word. There was nothing to say that would please him and make her happy. She wouldn’t lie or pretend to care about him when anger ebbed away at her and boiled in her blood. Not when he made Aria think of her mother and asked her about what happened, as if he pretended to care. Unlike the other women here looking for something, she just wanted her freedom returned. Pretending eluded her.

What inspired you to write your first book?

My first Ravyn Rayne book was inspired by Without A Trace, X-Files, and Fringe. I used to watch a lot of FBI crime dramas and I would write tons of fan fiction. I wanted a book that delve into their relationships a bit more than just on the surface. I love the sexual tension those shows brought but I wanted it to get resolved with steamy sex scenes!

 


When did you first consider yourself a writer?





Probably when I was in high school. I spent a lot of time reading books and writing poetry. I didn’t really get into writing fiction until I was in college. I’d been reading a ton of fan fiction (and novels) and wanted a crack at it. Once I started, I couldn’t stop writing.

 


What books have influenced your life most?





The Fault In Our Stars, The Handmaid’s Tale, The Hunger Games, Number the Stars

 


If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?





It would definitely be Alta Hensley.

 


Are there any new authors that have grasped your interest?





I’m not sure how “new” they are, but they are certainly new to me! I’ve been reading and loving the romance novels by: Elsa Black, Bryony Kildare, Alta Hensley, and Victoria Winters. Next on my list to tackle are Maggie Ryan and Renee Rose.

 


Is there anything you find particularly challenging in your writing?





Sometimes finding the right placement for a romantic sex scene can be challenging. Especially if there’s a kidnapping involved or the woman is married. You have to make it believable while still retaining your reader and rewarding them for staying with the story.

 


Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?





Yes! I always do research, no matter the book. With The Emerald Virgin, I learned a lot about futuristic technology. However, most of that research ended up being useful for later on in the series.

 


Do you have any advice for other writers?





Write as often and as much as you can. Don’t be afraid to let others read it.

 


Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?





I know you have so many choices of books to read, so thank you for choosing one of my novels! I love hearing from each and every one of my readers. Don’t be a stranger.

Sunstone by Holly Barbo


SUNSTONE

 


AUTHOR: Holly Barbo
GENRE: Steampunk Thriller
ORIGINAL PUBLICATION DATE: March 30, 2015
COVER DESIGNER: JC Clarke
EDITOR: Sheenah Freitas




sunstone




glitterbase (9)


Before there was a history, the sun goddess Navora visited a moon within her realm that held primitive ocean life. She dipped her staff of power into the primordial sea and stirred. Pleased with what she had wrought, she departed, not at all troubled that a divine spark had touched two small dying sea creatures.

As centuries pass, life on the moon develops into a geothermal steam-powered industrial age. A triumvirate of politicians, banks and corporations bring strain and suffering to the masses they rule over. Unbeknownst to the people of the moon, there may be help. With the gears of time ever moving and trouble spiraling to a crisis point, can three individuals and a handful of fossils prevent a violent revolution?






glitterbase (4)

 


Ravarian wiped the sweat off her forehead and peered out over the strait. Her grey eyes were clear and resolute. The clear day was warm and so beautiful that her heart filled with bittersweet joy. Grateful for this last gift from the Goddess, Ravarian pulled in her line and the small fish on it. Once it was stored in her cooler, she moved her boat again. No one watching her would be able to see when she palmed the fossil and let it slip beneath the waves as she pulled in her catch. Hours went by as she continued to cast her line.

Her task accomplished, Ravarian decided to stop performing for her watchers. Returning to shore with her cooler full of her catch, she was met by the young man she had rented the boa from. He grinned at her and the size of her haul. They bantered about her luck. She loaded her steam car to return home and smiled her good-bye. As the steam filled the chamber and she began to move, Ravarian gave a final salute. The lad laughed and way her away. When her vehicle crested the rise on its way back to the city, his face took on a serious expression and he returned to the hut. On his desk was the dash-key and, without wasting a minute, he tapped out his report and hit “send”.

She was ready when the uninvited visitors came. Her mind was at peace. As she opened her door to them, she had the random thought that the police reports and newspapers would report her death as a victim of a brutal home invasion burglary. Ravarian was shoved into her living room as one of the men tore her pictures and books from the walls. The other set a bad down that clunked with ominous metallic sounds and approached her with the gait of a predator. She knew that the next few hours would be unpleasant for her and frustrating for her guests. No one would hear her screams. They wouldn’t learn what they wanted to know, only enough of a story so they wouldn’t go after her loved ones. This particular chapter of the Sunstone would close for now, but she was confident that the little fossils, there would be another day just as she know she wouldn’t live to see the next sunrise.

Realizing Her Dream by Maggie Ryan and Laurel Jane

Realizing Her DreamRealizingHerDream_big


by Maggie Ryan and Laurel Jane


Coming June 5th


Blushing Books, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.


 


 


When Casey Reeves loses her husband to an unexpected heart attack, she gives herself a new mantra: To live life as if it were an amazing adventure, as every single day matters.


Unfortunately, one of the things on her bucket list looks far better on paper, and when Casey finds herself up in a plane, strapped to a tall, handsome man, about to undertake her very first parachute jump, she realizes that she’d do just about anything to be able to back out.


 


Paul Jackson has been a parachute instructor ever since he retired early, and has seen his fair share of terrified women, but when Casey hysterically promises to do anything he asks in return for being able to return to solid ground safely—even let him spank her—he’s amused, and not a little intrigued. He’s also more than willing to accept her bargain.


 


Casey finds herself taking a leap of faith—in more ways than one. The two begin their journey together, spending some time on a luxurious yacht, in a tropical rainforest and even in a ranch in outback Australia, as they work their way through her list.


 


What they discover is that life has a tendency not to follow carefully designed plans. With Paul beside her, Casey quickly learns that living every day to its fullest entails far more than she’d ever imagined. And by her side throughout the action, danger and laughter is a man who not only has no hesitation in reddening her bottom when she deserves it, but can send her soaring into ecstasy with a single look or a touch of his hand.


 


Finding a new love to equal—or even exceed—her old one was not even on Casey’s bucket list but now that she has, can they make it work? Is Paul really the man of her dreams?


 


Best-selling author Maggie Ryan and newcomer Laurel Jane have put their heads and their pens together to come up with this, an exciting tale of romance, lust, love, spanking and adventure. If the subject of domestic discipline or explicit erotica offends you, please do not read this book.



Available on:  Blushing Books, Amazon and Barnes & Noble.

Excerpt

 


“What? You’re spanking me for cursing? Good Lord, Paul, we could have all been blown up!”


“And I can’t begin to tell you how grateful I am that we weren’t,” he replied, finally setting her onto her feet.


Her hands flew back to rub at her aching backside, her eyes flashing her disbelief. “But I was scared!”


“So was I, but I just lost a dozen years off my life learning that you not only disobeyed me, you disobeyed Max.”


“I still can’t believe you spanked me,” Casey said, stomping her foot. “I should get a fuc–freaking medal! Instead, you spanked me! How fucking fair is that?”


“If you have to ask, then maybe you are right,” Paul said as he calmly walked away, leaving her on the deck with Max.


Casey looked after him in disbelief. Turning, she saw Max shaking his head.


“Are you happy now?” she hissed again, yanking her clothing up. “Geeze, remind me not to offer my help again!” She began to stomp away only to have the huge man step in front of her. “What? Not satisfied that I got my ass spanked enough?” She pushed down her shorts and panties again and then bent over, shoving her bottom towards him. “Fine, Captain, give me your best swat!”

Excerpt

 


“You are a handful. I should have known that’s why Henry walked right on by without so much as a second glance. For a brother that likes gems, he must have known the trouble one would cause.”


Aria sneered at James. “Tell me you don’t believe it.” Emeralds, people with green eyes, are known to be power and money hungry. Does James think that about her? It’s not true. No part of the belief system created to destroy the world in genocide was true. How could James think of her like that? She may not be easy or pleasant at times, but she wasn’t what the enemy said.


James shifted in his seat. “Of course not, but you are trouble. I can see it in you, the rebellious streak. My father will beat it out of you.”


“So what? I’m supposed to pretend it doesn’t bother me that he ordered the execution of my mother and dragged me from my home, drugged me, stripped me naked, and stole my freedom? No part of what you and your father are doing is okay.”


James grimaced. “I am sorry about your mother. I can’t change our world, but I can protect you here.”


 



 


 


Four Questions with the Author

 


The Gem Apocalypse series has quite a bit to do with eye color, what color eyes do you have?


Mine are green. I guess you could say authors always find ways to pull elements of themselves or real life into their stories.


 


Speaking of real life elements, do you use any true stories in your fiction?


Fiction is that for a reason. My life wouldn’t make a great book (at least not a romance novel). With that being said, Dating Wars (Federal Agent Chronicles Book 2) does delve a little into some real dating horror stories that I’ve experienced. A few are true, some are fictitious. I’ll let you be the judge.


 


First dystopian novel you read and fell in love with?


In college I read The Handmaid’s Tale for a Sociology class. I loved the novel and quite honestly it was probably the first book I ever read for school that I went back to read other works by that author. At the time I read it, I thought it more science fiction (and it is). I had no idea there was a category called Dystopian fiction.


 


Will we get to see more of the other brothers, especially those that have a little less book time?


I would love to do that! The plan is to do a spin-off series featuring Aaron and maybe some time with Henry too, along with more of the courtesans.
