TIED WITH ME Synopsis:

A man whose lifestyle is so different from her own…

Nic Dalton’s cupcake bakery is thriving. She serves both rock stars and locals alike, content with her growing business. But one adventurous night out with her best friend, Bailey, turns her life upside down. She meets a handsome stranger who makes her skin sizzle and her heart race. Their one night together is explosive and unexpected, but when he has to suddenly leave without taking her phone number, Nic resigns herself to never seeing him again.

…What will it take to trust and submit to his every desire?

Matt Montgomery is one of Seattle’s finest. He works hard, loves and protects his family fiercely, and is loyal almost to a fault.

And he has a penchant for bondage.

Matt enjoys the way a woman looks wrapped up in his ropes, and makes no apologies for his preferences. When he meets Nic at a fetish festival, the small, beautiful woman catches his eye, drawing him to her. His one night with her was everything he’s ever looked for in a partner, but is cut short because of a family emergency. Even before he sees her again weeks later, he knows he’ll never get her out of his system.

And he’ll do whatever it takes to make her his.

“Give in to this, Nic. Let me prove to you that I will be one of the best decisions you ever make.” –Matt Montgomery



Excerpt:

I grin and offer her a fresh bottle of water, which she accepts, unscrews the cap and takes a sip.

Fuck, she has beautiful lips. Lips that look amazing wrapped around the head of my cock.

“It’s not a crime to belong to a gym,” I reply.

My gym?”

“Do you own it?” I ask with a grin.

She laughs and shakes her head. “No.”

“It’s not far from my apartment, and it’s convenient to work, too, so here I am.”

She nods and glances down, not sure what to say next.

“The cake was delicious today,” I comment casually, giving her the opportunity to talk about her work.

“Oh, good!” She grins and joins me as I walk toward the smoothie bar, pull out a chair for her to drop into at one of the tiny two-person tables and sit opposite her. “I’m glad you enjoyed it.”

“You do good work. Leo and Sam are always talking about your cupcakes.”

“Leo and Sam keep me in business, I swear.” She laughs, sending electricity down my spine. “They’re very good customers.”

I nod, watching her.

“I like your shorter hair,” I murmur and reach out to brush the ends with my finger, enjoying the softness.

“Most men like long hair,” she replies softly.

“I like long hair, too. You look beautiful in both.”

She frowns and glances away from me.

“Why did you cut your hair, Nic?”

She shrugs and won’t meet my gaze. “It was time for a change.”

“Try again,” I reply.

She turns her eyes to mine and squares her shoulders, firms her chin. “It was time for a change.”

That’s a lie.

I cross my arms over my naked chest and drag my finger over my lip, watching her squirm.

She isn’t a good liar.

Good.

“Okay.”

She sighs, relieved, before I continue.

“For now.”

She scowls at me, making me laugh. “Friends don’t lie to each other, little one. The sooner you remember that, the better.”

“You’ve known me for three minutes, Matt. Don’t assume you know all there is to know about me.”

“You know what they say about assuming,” I murmur with a grin.

“Well, you are an ass,” she replies and then giggles.

I lean in and rest my mouth next to her ear. “This ass would love to smack your pretty little ass until it glows,” I whisper so only she can hear.

Be With Me - Cover



BE WITH ME Synopsis:

From the author of the #1 New York Times bestseller Wait for You

Do Teresa and Jase have a real shot at getting together or will life get in the way?

Teresa Hamilton is having a rough year—she's in love with her big brother's best friend, but he hasn't spoken to her since they shared a truly amazing, mind-blowing, life-changing kiss. Then she got out of a terrible relationship. Now an injury is threatening to end her dance career for good. It's time for plan B: college. And maybe she'll have a chance to convince Jase that what they have together is real.

Jase Winstead has a huge secret that he's not telling anyone—especially not his best friend's incredibly beautiful sister. Even though he and Teresa shared the hottest kiss of his life, he knows that his responsibilities must take priority. He certainly doesn't have time for a relationship. But it doesn't help that all he can think about is kissing the one girl who could ruin everything for him.

As they're thrown together more and more, Jase and Teresa can't keep denying their feelings for each other. But a familiar danger looms and tragedy strikes. As the campus recovers, the star-crossed couple must decide what they're willing to risk to be together and what they're willing to lose if they're not. . . .



EXCERPT:

“You got a visitor, Tess.” He rested his chin atop my head, which caused my pulse to try

to outrun my heart. “Two of them to be exact.”

“Okay.”

There was a pause. “Are your eyes closed?”

“No.”

His chin slid off my head and then his chest rumbled as he laughed. “Your eyes are

closed.” He laughed again. “Open them up.”

Cursing under my breath, I pried one eye open and then jerked against him. His arm

tightened. “Oh wow …”

The black-and-white horse was the closest, standing mere feet away from me. The brown

one wasn’t too far, shaking its head and making soft snorts. My eyes were wide as they bounced

between the two creatures. “They’re not carnivorous, right? Because at their size, they could eat

me.”

Jase laughed deeply as his hand shifted up, resting in the center of my stomach, just

below my breasts. “Horses do not eat people, you little idiot.”

I started, eyes narrowing. “There’s always a first.”

The lips pulled back on the black-and-white horse as if it was smirking at me.

“This one right here? Mr. Friendly? Jack calls him Bubba One,” he said in a quiet,

calming voice. But air hitched in my throat when his thumb moved in a slow circle over the thin

material of my tank top, hitting against the wire in my bra. “And the brown one is Bubba Two.”

Mouth dry, I wetted my lips. “That’s good for remembering names.”

He chuckled as his pinkie and forefinger started to move up and down, reaching my belly

button and then sliding back up. It was almost as if he was unaware of what he was doing, or the

electrifying response the tiny motions were dragging out of me. “I think so too, but his real name

is Lightning.”

Said horse shook his head, tossing the shaggy mane.

“Lightning seems to be a more suitable name,” I admitted, relaxing as the seconds

passed. Maybe that was his intention. Distract me with the soft, almost innocent touches. It was

working. “What about Bubba Two?

“Ah, the one who is staring at the pail like it’s the holy mecca of grain?” His cheek

grazed mine as I laughed. “That’s Thunder. And we’re going to feed them. Together.”

The friction his fingers created with my shirt sent tiny shivers up and down my back.

“With our hands?”

His answering laugh tipped the corners of my lips up. “Yes. With our hands.”

“After checking out the choppers on them, I’m not so sure about that.”

“You’ll be okay.” He slid his hand off my stomach and wrapped it around my wrist.

Slowly, he lifted my hand out in front of me. “Hold still.”

My heart lurched. “Jase—”

Lightning trotted forward and pressed his wet nose against my hand. I cringed, waiting

for him to eat my poor fingers. The horse didn’t. Nope. It nudged my hand as it whinnied softly.

He guided my hand up over Lightning’s jaw, all the way to the pointy, twitchy ears.

“See?” he murmured. “That’s not too bad, is it?”

I shook my head as my fingers curled along the soft coat. Lightning seemed to anticipate

the direction of the petting, pressing his long head against my hand as my fingers tangled in his

mane. It wasn’t bad at all.

Jase shifted behind me, and in an instant all thoughts of the horses evaporated. His hips

lined up against my backside, and I bit down on my lower lip as I focused on the white splotch

covering Lightning’s muzzle.

I could feel him—feel Jase. And there was absolutely no doubt in my mind that he was

affected by how close we were standing. That knowledge and the hard length of him left me

dizzy, just like it had done that Saturday night. An all too warm flush spread down my neck. In

the back of my head, I was rationalizing his physical reaction. He was a guy. Our bodies were pressed

together. If a wind blew on a guy’s private area, they got hard. So I should just ignore it,

but my body was so not on board with my head. My body was operating on a different playing

field. An ache centered low in my stomach. A sharp and sweet yearning raced through my veins.

“Not so scary, right?” His voice was deeper, richer. “They’re like dogs. Well, like a dog

that can carry around two hundred pounds, if not more.” Hand sliding off mine, he stepped back,

and the sudden emptiness of his body was like a cold shock. “Trust me.”

Then he smacked my ass.

Title: BREAKAuthor: Amanda StoneRelease: Spring 2014Genre: New Adult

Cover by Sarah Hansen - Okay Creationshttp://www.okaycreations.com



There
are paths we take in life that lead us to where we are supposed to be—where we are meant to be all along. I didn’t know
that my journey, which had been filled with so much pain and so much
all-consuming rage, would lead me to her.
She
is my salvation. My undoing. My reason for breaking…


Storm
Messer has just graduated college. But instead of spending the summer
traveling, like she had intended, she finds herself dumped by her boyfriend and
working for her parents at their family’s prestigious restaurant.
Ryker
Noakes had every intention of going away to college until he lost the one
person who kept him grounded. Now five years later he finds himself spending
his days working as a mechanic, and his nights working off his aggression over
things he cannot change as an underground MMA fighter.
Neither
could have known that a chance meeting would spark up a friendship that would
lead to an undeniable romance. But when they find out their pasts collide, it
threatens to destroy any future they may have together.



Breaking isn’t always a bad thing. —
As long as you have the right person
to put you back together.
Break

Amanda
is currently living out her, happily ever
after,
with her reformed bad boy
hubby, their two wild little kidlets, and a house full of critters.

Ryker guided me backward, pushing me
until my back was flush against the cool wood siding of the house. He leaned in
closer, his scent engulfing me—consuming me. “Storm,” he huskily whispered.
“Close your eyes.” As if I had no control over myself, my
body did as he commanded and my eyes drifted shut. I heard the creak of wood
giving as he placed each of his hands on either side of my head. Even with my
eyes closed I knew how close he was to me. His breaths were softly blowing
against my lips. Out of habit, my tongue slipped from between my lips,
moistening them in anticipation. I heard a low growl rumble up from Ryker’s
chest and he placed forehead against mine.“Ryke…” I began, but he silenced me by
gently placing his finger against my lips.“I don’t know why you fight this, Storm.”
He huffed and pulled his face away from mine. “I know you feel it. You feel how
right this is.” He tenderly grasped my chin in his hand, turning my head to the
side, giving him better access to my neck. He ran his lips over my burning skin
before placing a soft kiss where my shoulder and neck meet. My body shivered at
his touch and he pulled away again. “You see, your body knows what it wants.
Damn, Storm, even your heart knows what it wants. But you let your head get in
the way of all that. You let your head lead you, and, baby, its leading you the
wrong way."


He leaned closer to my ear. “Just stop
thinking. Stop thinking and feel. Feel how your breathing becomes erratic when
I do this.” He ran his tongue along my earlobe. “Feel how your heart speeds up
when I tell you how unbelievably sexy you are, and how you have me in pain just
thinking about being inside you again.” He paused, and I stayed quiet,
listening to his uneven breaths. “Feel how your skin tingles when I touch you.”
He ran his hand down my side, his fingers leaving a trail of fire in their
wake. “I do that to you. Me. Why fight this? Why fight something that feels so
undeniably right? You know you want me,” he growled against my lips. “And deep
down, you know you’re already mine.”

*Blog Tour: Cherished by Kelly Elliott*

HI Brats :)

Today the blog tour for Kelly Elliott's newest book in the Wanted series, Cherished, will be making a pit stop here at the TheSecretBookBrat HQ :)



Cherished (The Wanted Series Book #4) Synopsis: Jessie Rhodes has been in love with Scott Reynolds for most of her life. But he ran away from her once, leaving her heartbroken.

When they find their way back to one another, things seem to fall into place, and they begin to plan their future together…

Until Scott’s ex-fiancée deceives them all. With yet another broken heart, it is Jessie’s turn to run away. During her retreat, she meets an intriguing man, and they form a bond that makes Jessie question everything.

Scott’s world collapses when the only girl he has ever loved disappears with no word on her whereabouts. When he finally discovers where Jessie has been hiding, he also learns of her new relationship.

Will deceit tear them apart? Or can Jessie and Scott survive their mistakes and choose to love and to cherish?

Cherished is the fourth book in the Wanted series. 

I am a huge fan of Kelly Elliott, and when the opportunity to review and ARC of Cherished popped up, I grabbed it.
I fell in love with Kelly’s characters in Wanted, and I’ve enjoyed every book since then – however, I felt a little let down by this one.

Cherished is the story of Jessie and Scott, two more loveable characters part of out Wanted crew. They’ve loved each other since High School, and now have the chance to get their own happy-ever-after… But just when things are about to get better, a misunderstanding occurs that has far-reaching implications for both Jessie and Scott.

Jessie is such a strong character, and you can’t help but fall for her stubborn streak and big heart. Scott is a typical ‘Kelly Elliott’ man in the sense that he’s caring, strong, 100% cowboy and completely in love with and devoted to his woman. Who can resist that? Lord knows I can’t!

While I loved catching up with Ari, Ellie, Gunner, Jeff, Heather, and Josh, I was hoping for more of Scott and Jessie’s story. At times the book was very repetitive, and I found myself skipping some parts just to get the story to move along. I wanted something new from this book, and sadly, it didn’t deliver quite as I had hoped.

I can’t wait for Kelly’s next book, and look forward to reading about what may come next for these loveable characters and their families.


Excerpt

(Jeff & Ari)
“There y’all are! Your father and I have been looking everywhere for you. Now, give me my granddaughter, so I can love on her properly.” I looked around Jeff and saw my mother walking up to us. I smiled at her and watched her take Grace from Jeff’s arms. As she made her way back toward everyone else, I glanced back at Jeff. He had the biggest grin on his face, and I followed his eyes as he looked over toward the barn. I laughed and shook my head. “No! Are you kidding me? Everyone is just right here. No. I’m not having sex in Gunner and Ellie’s barn.”“Oh, come on, baby. Just think of the last time we had sex in a barn.” Jeff wiggled his eyebrows up and down. “The barn is far enough away from the house that no one could possibly hear us. I mean, you’ll have to keep your screams of pleasure down and all.”I instantly felt the wetness between my legs. I quickly looked back at the house before turning and walking toward the barn. “I’m so going to hell for this,” I said as I heard Jeff say, “Oh, hell yes!”I hadn’t even walked into the barn before he grabbed me and spun me around. He pulled me to him and lifted me up as I wrapped my legs around him. He backed us up and leaned me against the wall. His hand moved up and under my shirt. The moment I felt him push up my bra and then squeeze my nipple, I almost came on the spot. “Jeff…oh god,” I whispered. He slowly let me down to unbutton my jeans. “Jesus, Ari…you drive me crazy. Do you know that?” he asked.I watched him pull my pants and then my panties down. I lifted each leg as he took my sneakers off, and then he pulled off the pants and panties. He quickly undid his pants, and I felt my breathing pick up as I watched him push his pants down, his erection springing free. I licked my lips and looked up into his eyes. “Fuck…” Jeff said as he picked me back up. I wrapped my legs around him again. In one movement, he slammed his dick into me, and I let out a small whimper. I threw my head back and bit my lip… attempting not to yell out in pleasure. Nothing felt as good as having Jeff inside me. “Ah…Ari…baby, come on,” Jeff said as he moved in and out of me. I tried so hard to hold off, so I could just enjoy the feel of him inside me. “Baby…” That was it—his pleading voice was my undoing. I snapped my head forward, and our eyes met. “Jeff…I’m gonna come.” He let out a grunt and whispered, “Yes.”I bit hard on my lower lip as Jeff closed his eyes. I swore I could feel every ounce of him pouring into my body. I’d never felt so damn sexy in my life as I did at this very moment with my husband holding me up after making such passionate love to me. He stood there, panting to catch his breath, still inside me.I smiled as I leaned in and grabbed his lower lip with my teeth. “Ah hell, Ari. I could totally do that again if you’d just give me a few minutes.” I started laughing and then instantly stopped. I could hear someone talking. I looked at Jeff as we both said, “No fucking way!” Jeff dropped me and pulled up his pants. Then, he reached down and grabbed my pants, panties, and shoes before quickly taking my arm and walking me over to Big Roy’s stall. He opened it and pushed me inside. “Get down!” he whispered as he zipped up his pants. “What? I’m half-fucking-naked in a horse stall, and you want me to get down?”Just then, we heard Garrett call out, “Ari? Jeff?”Jeff turned back and pushed my head down before spinning around and walking away. Big Roy walked up to me and kept trying to nudge me with his head. I looked at Big Roy as I tried to get him to stop. “Stop it, boy. No! We aren’t going for a ride.” I rolled my eyes and hurried like hell to get my clothes back on. Big Roy took a few steps back, and I was finally able to get my panties on. I heard Jeff talking to Garrett, but I couldn’t tell what they were saying. How does this man always know when we’re having sex? Just then, Big Roy pushed me hard on my back, making me fall forward…right into a pile of horse shit. Jesus, Mary, and Joseph, that did not just happen to me!

As Ally and Morgan become closer, they confront bitter enemies, his sister's disapproval, and paths pulling them in different directions at summer's end. The second book in the bestselling Someone to Love series proves that in love and passion, sometimes two wrongs do make a right.

*Release Day Launch: Who I Am (FireNine #3) by S.Q Williams*

Release Day Banner

Synopsis
Some stories aren’t easy to tell. Some situations aren’t easy to relive. But I was raised to be strong—to hold my own. Because of it, I was hurt, torn down, beaten and even had my heart snatched right out of my chest. But I’m ready now. It’s time for me to speak up. You want to know what really goes on inside my head, well I’m right here. Real. Raw. Intense. This is all me. Roy Sykes. This is my story, and trust me… its far from pretty.

(INSERT BUY LINKS HERE) add-to-goodreads-button31 Excerpt (Kelsey's POV)A smile smothers my lips as I spot Roy standing in front of some fancy restaurant. He’s dressed in all black (as usual), but his hair is wavy, proving he most likely took a shower before reaching his destination. He’s looking around, and there are moments when he checks his phone. My smile continues as I start to walk toward him, but in no time, my smile evaporates. A girl rushes up to him, and I stop in my tracks, staring like a deer stuck in headlights. I’m… confused. The girl stands on her toes and wraps her arms around his neck, and somehow, a part of me shrivels away. I swallow to block the dryness in my throat. I can feel my bottom lip trembling… my palms getting sweaty. I don’t even realize I’ve dropped the bag in my hand or the cup holder containing the coffee until I’m storming towards him. My eyebrows are furrowed, fists clenched tight around my keys. The sharp metal of my keys is digging into my hand, but I don’t even realize it. I can’t seem to focus on anything but my boyfriend walking into some restaurant with this blonde beauty. [image error] Roy Roy Character Pic Kelsey Kelsey Character Pic [image error]




Review – Who I Am by S.Q Williams
I was so excited to read this book that I absolutely devoured it in a single day! We’re introduced to our FireNine boys – Gage, Roy, Deeds and Montana – in Who He Is, and Who We Are, and it’s where we meet Roy. He’s quiet, and lays low for the most part, but something about his demeanor makes you curious.
Who I Am is Roy’s story, and good Lord what a story! It’s intense, heart-breaking, and so amazing that I was left with both a hangover, and a major crush on Roy Sykes. My heart bled for everything this poor guy has had to go through and everything he was forced to do to not only take care of his sick mom, but himself too.
He’s such a complex character, and by the end of the book you’ll be rooting for him so hard.  I also connected with Kelsey Prior, Roy’s current love interest, and found myself rooting for their relationship because I was invested in Roy that I wanted him to find his happy ending the way Gage Grendel did.
Shanora did an amazing job with this book, and has such a talent when it comes to writing stories filled with angst, emotion and sexiness. This story didn’t disappoint, and it only makes me more excited to see what Shanora has in store for Montana! J

*Cover Reveal: Breathe Again (Breathe #2) by Rachel Brookes*

** COVER REVEAL**
Breathe Again (Breathe #2) by Rachel Brookes




For Savannah Rae, the thought of living in her picture-perfect world was almost too much to comprehend. With her dream job, a family she could finally call her own, and the beginnings of the best chapter of her life, she still couldn’t shake the unnerving feeling that it was all too good to be true.



The thought of a life without Savannah was incomprehensible to Tate Connors. Never in his wildest dreams did he think he would find his girl in the form of a sassy, stubborn, beautiful Australian. Finally he had the girl and life he so desperately wanted, but he still couldn’t ignore the fear that it would crash around him.



When Tate’s past becomes his present and Savannah’s present becomes her past, the possibility of a future together collides head-on with reality.



In her darkest days, the words Just Breathe provided a peaceful comfort to Savannah from the heavens above. Now as she and Tate go down the path of new beginnings, brutal endings, and the constant craving of a happily ever after, they are anxious to learn how to Breathe Again.





Rachel Brookes is from a coastal town on the east coast of Australia where beaches, kangaroos and surfers roam free. Writing angst ridden love stories with a pinch of craziness, a dash of drama, a cup of romance, a spoonful of sexiness and delicious men to season is what she loves to do. Rachel sometimes forgets to eat, sometimes forgets to sleep and sometimes can’t remember the last time she cleaned her apartment but that’s because she is in a long term relationship with her laptop.  When she does step away from her laptop she can be found taking too many photos, making scrumptious cocktails, laughing at Adam Sandler movies and spending her time with her amazing family. Having released Just Breathe and Breathless in 2013, Rachel is looking forward to a busy 2014 with the upcoming release of Breathe Again, the final book in The Breathe Series and many other books planned she can’t wait to continue this crazy ride.

*Release Day Launch: All The Pretty Poses by M. Leighton*




ABOUT ALL THE PRETTY POSES:He never wanted to be a hero…until she needed him to be.
Strength…It took Kennedy Moore years to put her life back together after Reese Spencer shattered it.  But she did.  Now, years later, strong and independent, she is in pursuit of a single dream—to dance with the Altman American Dance Theater.  Unfortunately, Kennedy is learning that a girl from nowhere with no money and no contacts might never be able to reach her goal.  
That is, until Reese reappears, offering a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity that Kennedy just can’t refuse.  In exchange for working on his yacht for a few short weeks, he’ll get her an audition with the famous dance troupe.  All Kennedy has to do is keep her head down, work hard and resist Reese.  That sounds easy enough, right?
Weakness…Reese doesn’t want to make it easy for Kennedy.  Seeing her again has started a fire in his blood—an unwelcome one.  It took him years to forget about her before, so this time he has a plan.  It’s simple:  Get Kennedy on his yacht, seduce her, get her out of his system, move on with his life.  That sounds easy enough, right? 
But the one thing Reese didn’t plan for was Kennedy herself—a girl so strong yet so broken, she makes him want to rescue her, to take care of her.  To save her.  Even if he has to save her from himself.
