Everything for her release blitz, Alexa Riley

I voluntarily received an advanced review copy of this book and chose to review it.

This is the book we've been waiting for and it didn't disappoint. The dynamic duo are at their best here with a hot, domineering alpha and his lady love he'd do anything for. Oz has been obsessed with Mallory for five years and now is done waiting. I think they handled his obsession well. It just bordered on this side of creepy stalker, but his motives for doing so shine through, thus negating a lot of the creepy factor. I would've liked to have seen more drama with his dad though. So much revolved around that relationship but I felt like it whimpered out. I assume that drama will come from Paige's book. Overall I enjoyed Everything for Her. It's what we've been waiting for and it didn't disappoint.

Title: Dirty PlayAuthor: Amy Olle
Genre: Sports RomanceSeries: The Nolan Brothers Series, book 3Release Date: December 27, 2016
Cover Designer: Okay Creations
Editor: Hot Tree Editing
When reformed party girl, Haven Callahan, is given the reins to daddy’s pro hockey team, she discovers veteran player, Jack Nolan, is the one calling the shots...
Thrust into her new role, Haven strikes a hasty but lucrative trade deal, only to find out her new star forward and the sexy groomsman she hooked up with at a friend’s wedding are the same man.
At thirty-two, Jack knows if he’s going to have his chance at the Stanley Cup, it’s now or never. But instead of landing a spot on his dream team, he winds up traded to the last-place Milwaukee Renegades, where he soon finds himself playing to a non-existent fan base in a rundown stadium named after crappy pizza. He’s tempted to hang up his skates, except he’s fought for everything he has and he isn’t about to give up without a fight.
In a sport where men coach, play, and call the shots, Haven struggles to find her footing. Worse, she can’t keep her hands off the team merchandise—Jack. With Jack on the team and on her side, the Renegades are playing less like middling beer-leaguers and more like a pro-level hockey club.
But Jack and Haven are hiding a dirty little secret, and if the media discovers they’re melting the ice after hours, it’s game over.

Satiated and powerless, an unguarded smile teased its way to Haven’s lips.
“Thank you.” Jack dropped a soft kiss on her forehead. “But next time, we do it for real.”
She sputtered, “Wh-what do you mean?”
“Don’t get me wrong. That was amazing. You are amazing.” He pressed his mouth to her shoulder, over the spot where her clavicle had been broken. “But that wasn’t real sex.”
He rolled off her and pushed up off the bed.
She thrashed to a sitting position. “You thought that wasn’t real sex?”
The long shaft of his manhood still plump, he tugged his boxer briefs over his hips. “That was porn sex. It looked great, it felt fucking fantastic, but it’s not real sex.”
He’d stunned her to speechlessness. She hadn’t been speechless since she was a troubled teenager craving attention.
“I-I-I don’t understand you.” With the plaintive ring in her voice, she even sounded like that troubled teenager.
His gaze clamped on her face, he moved to the edge of the bed and wrapped his hand around her ankle.
“Real sex is out of control.” His thumb traced circles around her anklebone. “It’s losing your mind and forgetting about everything that doesn’t serve the purpose of getting you off.” Lifting her leg, he sat on the bed. “It’s total surrender. To me.” He kissed the bottom of her foot. Then his hand on her knee gently eased her legs apart. “To your body.” He kissed the soft skin on the inside of her thigh. “To us.”

Excerpt
Why they call it a farmhouse is beyond me. That word paints an image of a little white house with a chicken coop. This is a Southern plantation. A huge, wide porch with pillars looks to encompass the entire place. Mums line whiskey barrels and give the clean exterior pops of burgundy, orange, and yellow. It’s breathtaking.

“This is gorgeous,” I breathe as it comes into full view. “Not what I expected.”

“This is my second favorite place in the world,” he whispers against my ear.

“Second? What could be more perfect that this?”

“Inside you.”

Before he can pull away, I turn my face so my lips capture his. He deepens the kiss, our lips working against one another in perfect harmony. As we pull away, breathless, he grins. “Thank you for coming.”

“I’ll ensure you come later,” I promise.

“Naughty girl,” he chuckles as the car rolls to a stop. “I like it.”
“You will.”

Sweet ride release blitz, Dani Wyatt

I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this book and chose to review it.

I felt like this book was two books. One a hot, fast and dominating romance, the other an intriguing world of crime and underground dealings. While I liked the romance I found the other parts of the book distracting and took away from the overall appeal of the book. I appreciate the attempt at something different but I felt it strayed a little too far. I liked Thorne and his transformation. 

Unfortunately though, it strayed a little too far for my liking.

So let’s get this straight.
This is a story about romance.
Well, it’s not a story. I mean, it’s not something somebody made up. It’s about me. And yeah, in case you’re wondering, I’m a guy.
Surprised? Sure you are. You figure those words just don’t go together. Romance, with a capital R. Guy, with a capital G. You’re probably sitting there and smirking. What could a dude possibly know about romance? You figure we’re big on sex. But romance?
You’re right.
Romance is not a male thing.
And that’s exactly my problem.
The bottom line is that whatever you think you know about men and romance is pretty much correct. You figure we’re big on the F-word as long as it stands for Fuck and not Forever.

Who we were cover reveal, Lindsay Detwiler

Author: Lindsay DetwilerTitle: Who We WereGenre: Romantic ComedyRelease Date: February 25, 2017Publisher: Hot Tree PublishingCover Designer: Claire Smith HALF-PRICE PREORDER SALEhttp://books2read.com/who-we-were “I guess that’s the thing about high school reunions, though. They make you snap a little.”
In the ten years since high school graduation, Maylee’s career, living arrangements, family, and especially her love life are at a standstill. When her twin brother, Mitch, falls for her high school enemy at their ten-year reunion, Maylee’s life is catapulted into chaos.
Maylee’s hatred for the blonde-haired Josephine isn’t the only thing she discovers at her reunion. Benson Drake, the introvert from high school, has matured into a sexy intellect. Now a writer and bartender, Benson’s grown into a man with a perfect balance of quirky wit and sex appeal. After a wardrobe malfunction, a spy mission gone wrong, and a dangerous cup of coffee, Maylee and Benson explore something they never even thought about during senior year. Along the way, they find out that reconnecting with the past can change you… or maybe just help you find your true self. HALF-PRICE PREORDER SALEhttp://books2read.com/who-we-were Facebook I Twitter I WebsiteA high school English teacher, an author, and a fan of anything pink and/or glittery, Lindsay's the English teacher cliché; she love cats, reading, Shakespeare, and Poe.
She currently lives in her hometown with her husband, Chad (her junior high sweetheart); their cats, Arya, Amelia, Alice, and Bob; and their Mastiff, Henry.
Lindsay's goal with her writing is to show the power of love and the beauty of life while also instilling a true sense of realism in her work. Some reviewers have noted that her books are not the “typical romance.” With her novels coming from a place of honesty, Lindsay examines the difficult questions, looks at the tough emotions, and paints the pictures that are sometimes difficult to look at. She wants her fiction to resonate with readers as realistic, poetic, and powerful. Lindsay wants women readers to be able to say, “I see myself in that novel.” She wants to speak to the modern woman’s experience while also bringing a twist of something new and exciting. Her aim is for readers to say, “That could happen,” or “I feel like the characters are real.” That’s how she knows she's done her job.
Lindsay's hope is that by becoming a published author, she can inspire some of her students and other aspiring writers to pursue their own passions. She wants them to see that any dream can be attained and publishing a novel isn’t out of the realm of possibility.

Everything for her, Alexa Riley ARC

Oh yeah! Guess who got an ARC for Alexa Riley's first full length novel? That's right, this girl right here! I'll be digging into it soon and will have posts ready for you on release day!
A big thank you to Ardent Prose and general luck for being one of the blogs they picked to receive said ARC!

I voluntarily received an advance review copy of this book and chose to review it.

This book is billed as a standalone. I know it's part of a series, but if it's billed as a standalone it either needs to explain references to previous characters or events or not mention them at all. I loved Lincoln, I thought he was a great character, just like I like em, tough but sweet. But I felt I was missing so much with Dani. It was hard to get a read on her when so much of who she is is tied up in characters and situations I don't know about. But I did love this book and it has enticed me to read the other connected series.
