When Mick O’Malley left Boston and casted aside his family with IRA ties, he never imagined finding solace within a club of Bounty Hunters. At 25 years old, he’d given up on love and trust and counted on only one person to get him through life—himself. When Mick finds himself doing a protection gig as a favor to his new mentor, he finds the one girl who can alter his out of whack views.
But he’s there to do a job, not fall in love with a girl who is off-limits. Mick was committed to protecting Everly and not failing his boss for a second time. But what’s the harm in one kiss? One time? One night?
Everly Moore was ready for her “real life” to begin. She had a lifelong dream of moving to New York to write music professionally. She didn’t realize the danger her father’s job had placed on her, or the fact that her new sexy and confident neighbor Mick O’Malley was sent there to protect her.
Mick knows how lies and secrets can destroy trust. Hell, he’s lived with those his whole life, but when those secrets are meant to protect her, he has no choice but to continue the deception.
When his secrets and lies are revealed, will it be too late to save Everly or will their need for one another beat the odds?
Bad boy turns loveable, April 27, 2015By Nickinic - Ebooks Galore "Authors please feel free to contact us regarding our blog."This review is from: Embracing Everly (Kindle Edition)*I received this book free in exchange for an honest review.*I loved this book. Mick, the bad guy, falling for the good girl. It was romantic, with the over protective bad boy flair we all love. I liked that the relationship actually grows in front of you, instead of it being an instant love and attraction.
The end was very suspenseful, but I wish that suspense had been spread out a little more throughout the story. Instead of just the last 25% of the book. It would have made it a 5 star read for me. But as is, this was a wonderful story. It was well written, well edited and a page turning read for me. I didn't want to put it down!Why no voting buttons?

Amazon AU
Barnes & Noble
Goodreads
A Woman’s Pleasure by J.F. Kelly (pen name of Warren Shepell): 25 Erotic Chapters about Satisfying Sex and MutualityThere are three levels at which you can read the book: At the first level it is a cornucopia of sexual delights and a great fantasy read for both women and men. It has lots of romance as well as sensual encounters. At the second level, it recognizes that women are wired differently from men and the book empowers women to ask for what will pleasure them and satisfy them in lovemaking encounters. At the third level it is a book that teaches men to be great lovers and how to satisfy their women, and in knowing that by satisfying their women, they themselves will get satisfied.‘A Woman’s Pleasure’ is the steamy story of 25 men, and how they use romance, care, and mutual attention in achieving complete sexual satisfaction – for both themselves and their partners.J.F. Kelly, author of ‘A Woman’s Pleasure’, isn’t interested in writing a book that requires fetishes, kinkiness and dominance to stir his audience – he’s out to capture the intimacies and intensity of true love-making; passions rarely shared on the pages of most books that aim to hit the mark on their reader’s erotic fantasies. Indeed, most books attempt to deliver purely physical, sometimes extreme sexual fantasies with the barest, slightest shade of romance – often creating nothing but plain porn.J.F. Kelly’s work, however, isn’t like most books.The book focuses on the adventures of 25 different men, and their various sexual encounters – at times, the book leaves you breathless, at other times, it ensures you you’ll be left with a throbbing heart and yearning for more.Each chapter is devoted to a different man – and with each chapter, author J.F. Kelly accentuates the book’s purpose as a collection of sensual experiences meant to enlighten readers on the possibilities and the erotic joy of sexual equality, in and outside the bedroom. He strips off the abuse and nature of books like 50 Shades of Grey, instead insisting on giving readers an insight into mutual fulfillment through attentive intimacy, understanding and romance – keeping things incredibly hot without having to resort to extremes with a myriad of tales that depict skills lost to most men.In a statement on his website, author J.F. Kelly notes various reasons for his choice of portrayal, as he explains why his book approaches sex in such a normative, yet rarely seen way for literature. He says he created it as: “A vibrant counterpoint to pornography and sex on the internet that treats sex as only a physical act and portrays many things done to women that women don't enjoy. Pornography and sex on the internet become an educational tool for most men. In contrast, this book teaches men about satisfying sex and what women really want in expressing and experiencing their sexuality.”In critique of the book, professional book reviewer Paige Van De Winkle notes that “in the wake of erotic novels like Fifty Shades of Grey that, according to some, depict unconventional sex as exploitative—with one partner dominating over the other without a discussion of limits, respect, or safe words—A Woman’s Pleasure refreshingly focuses on the aspects of … sex that books like Fifty Shades ignore.”
J.F. Kelly is the pen name of Warren Shepell. His first book is ‘A Woman's Pleasure.’
Warren has many interests. In addition to writing, he invests in Domains, Real Estate and Broadway Shows and Theater across North America. Some of his other businesses are in EAP Surveys and EAP Audits. He attends Film Festivals yearly around the world.
Warren Shepell is a well-recognized pioneer in the field of Employee Assistance Programs (EAPs) and well-being in the workplace, among family members, couples, and individuals. He started, developed, and ran Warren Shepell Consultants Corp/Warren Shepell-The EAP Professionals/Les Consultants Shepell Ltee. with an employee group of 460 full time and 1500 part time employees which he sold in 2005. He brought the concept of mental health counselling to the mainstream population.
He graduated from the University of Pennsylvania with a PhD in Counseling and Clinical Psychology and has counseled couples for 25 years. Now, using the pen name of J.F. Kelly, Warren Shepell brings his unique vision to erotic novels and fictional short stories that will promote women's rights, and equality between women and men not only at work, but also in the bedroom.
As J.F. Kelly, he gives voice to women and the men that respect each other, and to relationships, including erotic and sensual relationships between women and men that embody mutuality.
He brings heart, sensitivity and appreciation for the uniqueness found among ordinary people in their journey in life and is a spokesperson for the everyday person.
Three of his favorite sayings personify his writings:"Each of us has a heart, a soul, and feelings. Each of us desires to be wanted, to be appreciated, and to be loved.""Making love is not something you do to someone―it's something you share. Lovemaking between men and women should be mutually pleasurably. Both women and men should be fully and completely satisfied.""If women were totally satisfied with their sexual and lovemaking experiences, women would welcome the lovemaking experience as much as men."

Sometimes old flames are the hottest of all . . .In the quaint little town of Cailkirn, Alaska, it’s impossible to keep a secret, especially one as juicy as the unexpected return of Kitty Grant. Tack MacKinnon remembers her wild red curls and even wilder spirit—and still feels the sting from when she shattered his heart in college. But there’s a pain in Kitty’s gorgeous eyes that guts him to the core and Tack is determined to do whatever it takes to see the woman he still loves smile again—even if it means taking on her demons as his own.
After fleeing an abusive ex-husband, Kitty decides that the best way to heal her broken heart is to come back home. But she gets a whole new shock when she sees how undeniably sexy Tack has become. More handsome, more muscular, more charming—more everything—he’s impossible to resist. Before she knows it, they’re reigniting sparks that could set the whole state of Alaska on fire. Yet trust doesn’t come easy to Kitty anymore, and as things heat up between her and Tack, she can’t help but wonder if one of them is going to get burned . . .
Every author has their own process. Music is a BIG part of mine and every book I've written has had its own playlist, even way back before that was a word. ;-) I can write anywhere as long as I've got my iTouch and a pair of headphones. Even a birthday party at a noisy pizza parlor. Yes, I've done it...hiding in a corner. Just ask my family. Deadlines wait for no one.
Wild Heat is no exception, but I've got to tell you...the music on that playlist surprised me. I love positive country. I'm not as big a fan of the classic twang, but yes I do have Johnny Cash and Dolly Parton in my iTunes library. The thing is, I haven't been using country to write to for a few years. Then all of a sudden, this new series comes along. It's set in Alaska and the playlist is decidely country. I won't tell you how much music I bought in six months, but I will tell you that I've heard more new country writing the Northern Fire series than in the whole decade leading up to it.
No way could I list all the songs I listened to writing this book, but how about I share the Top 10?
1. Fishin' in the Dark by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band - please tell me you all remember this one. It's one of my favorites from back in the day and it embodies that feeling of Kitty & Tack's relationship before she loses her way in college.
2. Land of the Living by Pam Tillis - this song could be Kitty's anthem as the book opens. She's ready to start living again, even if she doesn't know it.
3. Crash my Party by Luke Bryan - when Kitty first shows up in Cailkirn, Tack thinks it's the last thing he wants, but the reality is, he desires nothing more than his former best friend crashing his party.
4. Turn on the Radio by Reba McIntyre - sometimes the songs are about how they make me feel while I'm writing. This is the feisty side of Kitty and who better to channel it than the Queen of Country?
5. Boys Round Here by Blake Shelton - now this is Tack and his brother and cousins. These Cailkirn boys know they're something special and they should!
6. Good Girl by Carrie Underwood - this could be Kitty singing to herself, reminding herself that she can't trust what men tell her, that Tack could hurt her just like her ex did. That she needs to be tougher.
7. I Hold On by Dierks Bentley - Tack is the kind of man that when he makes up his mind, he doesn't let go. Kitty may take some convincing and Tack may need to remember his mind has been made up for a while, but this man isn't letting go.
8. Better Dig Two by The Band Perry - the intensity of this song is almost crazy right? And that's the kind of relationship I like to write about. Love it or hate it, but you will not be unmoved by it. I can get behind that kind of romance.
9. Deeper than the Holler by Randy Travis - this song made it onto several playlists I listened to while writing Wild Heat because it just so embodied the love Tack has for Kitty.
10. Little White Church by Little Big Town - because the best romances end with a wedding. :)
You can see the whole playlist on my YouTube channel here:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLDtHRVN-4KKVds8vsDpEsmyNh7gkTL1Lk

She stops in a shuttle lounge on her way to check in and gets locked inside the wrecked deserted room with no one to hear her calling and no cell phone service.
Navy SEAL Warren West finds Cyree locked in the lounge. Soon they are on the run from the agency because she missed her injection and shuttle and is now on the list. Is a change of scenery what she needs or is it Warren?
could be better, April 24, 2015By Nickinic - Ebooks Galore "Authors please feel free to contact us regarding our blog."This review is from: A Change of Scenery (Kindle Edition)*I received this book free in excahnge for an honest review*This could have been a great story. It was short, had an interesting plot, was ok writing. But, the problem for me was there were a lot of unanswered questions. I don't want to give the whole plot away, so I won't tell you what I felt was unanswered. But, I feel like this story just wasn't fully developed. It could have been a lot better. I think if made to be a little longer, developed more in some spots, this would be a fantastic and interesting book. As it is, I just feel unresolved. It's not an awful read. It's short and quick. I just wanted more from it.Why no voting buttons? We don't let customers vote on their own reviews, so the voting buttons appear only when you look at reviews submitted by others.Permalink

Everything Avianna Linton thought she knew was shattered in one traffic stop. With her life turned upside down, she flees to the bright lights of New York City hoping for anonymity and a new life.
Rising from nothing, Noah Adams holds onto his power and control with a bone-crushing grip. No one dared challenge his authority until her...
Avi’s disdain for Noah is barely contained, and Noah does everything he can to restrain himself—a concept he has little experience with.
There’s more between the two than either of them realize. A force looms near, hovering with deadly precision and motivated solely by revenge.
Avi wonders who her new friends truly are and if she’s already in too deep. Noah, accustomed to getting what he wants, will do whatever it takes to draw Avi's in deeper.

Spun
Spun by Shyla ColtGenre: Contemporary Romance, New Adult, Bikers
Born to a King of Chaos patch holder with a case of wanderlust and a self-centered mother, twenty-one-year-old Nevada Weber is used to taking care of herself. She's spent her life skating by on her wits and pure determination. When she lands in a situation, she can’t haggle her way out of, she’s forced to rely on another brother for help.
Club enforcer Gage “Wizard” Carmody has done his job too well over the years. Icy and numb on the inside, he walks around in a prison of his making. When the bright green-eyed girl he helped raise winds up unclaimed and in need of protection he steps in seeking redemption.
In a life where destruction lurks around the corner, they discover something with the potential to bring healing and happiness. But when you live in Chaos nothing goes as planned.
Shyla Colt grew up in Cincinnati, Ohio, but has lived a variety of different places thanks to her wanderlust, interesting careers, and marriage to a United States Marine. She's always loved books and wrote her very first novel at the age of fifteen. She keeps a copy of her first submission letter on her desk for inspiration.
After a lifetime of traveling, she settled down and knew her time had come to write. Diving into her new career like she does everything else, with enthusiasm, research and a lot of prayers, she had her first book published in June of 2011. As a full-time writer, stay at home mother, and wife, there's never a dull moment in her household.
She weaves her tales in spare moments and the evenings with a cup of coffee or tea at her side and the characters in her head for company. A self-professed rebel with a pen. Her goal is to diversify romance as she continues to genre hop, and offer up strong female characters.Author Media LinksAuthor Shyla Colt FB page: https://www.facebook.com/authorshyla.coltFan Page ( FB) : https://www.facebook.com/shylacoltTwitter https:/www.twitter.com/ShylaColtGood Reads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/5034494.Shyla_ColtTumblr http://authorshylacolt.tumblr.com/
