EXCERPT:“You ready for this, gorgeous?” I ask, with unexplainable uncertainty. She gives a forced smile and a tense nod of consent before looking away, but it isn’t enough for me.  Moving my hand under her chin, I gently turn her face back to me. “Elianna, you’re safe with me.  I can promise you, I’ll be close even if I’m not by your side.  Do you trust me?” I inquire.  She looks at me as if she’s weighing the question. “Lucas, am I in danger?” she asks, trying to put the pieces together and avoiding my question.  Smart girl. “I don’t know, Sunshine, but I’m not willing to take the chance.  There are too many unknowns and until I know anything with certainty, I want to be the one keeping you safe.” “Why you?  Why not the Nicchi family?  Do you feel responsible for me because your brother isn’t here?”  She interrogates.  She’s right to question my motives.  Trust is a betraying bitch and a mistake can get you or someone you love killed.  I don’t trust anyone to have my back completely, and because of that I’ll never be able to stop looking over my shoulder.  Eli is different though.  She’s safe with me and I want her to trust me, but I know it’s a lot to ask of people like us so I understand.Even if my motive to stand beside her at the service was initially for Matteo, that changed the second she let the shield of hers down.  Elianna is strong, gorgeous, confident, and too smart for her own good, but once she showed me her vulnerability, I was done. “Let’s just say I have trust issues, sunshine.  That’s why it has to be me.  I would’ve done anything my brother asked of me, but he wouldn’t have ever had to ask me to keep you close,” I tell her truthfully.  It seems the harder I try to ignore the facts in front of me, the more they come back to slap me in the face.“So I should just trust you, Lucas . . . with my life?   What do you really want from me?” Her voice drifts to almost a whisper. “Everything, Elianna.  Every. Single. Thing.  If you aren’t ready to trust me, I’ll wait.  Until then though, I’m still going to be the one to keep you safe,” I pause, measuring her for a moment, before continuing.   “I want you to give me a code word in case you need a second to regroup or want an out.  What will it be?” I probe, not allowing my hand to fall from under her chin.  Even this small connection somehow seems to be bigger than we are. “Liability,” she answers, her voice sounding fragile.  It’s the first outward sign of weakness she’s shown me, other than the minutes we shared at Matteo’s service, when I was her comfort and shield of support. Her eyes betray her confidence, and the instinct to reassure her is too strong to avoid.  I drop my hand from her chin and move it, wrapping my fingers around her tiny waist, letting my free hand mimic the same on her other side.  I tug her a step closer to me.  Bending my head slightly forward, I rest my forehead on hers so that we’re eye-to-eye.  Earning her trust isn’t going to be easy, but it’s necessary. “Liability,” I repeat, my tone gentle and still somehow apologetic.  I’m not sure what I want more from her.  There’s a part of me that wants to push her away and keep my distance, but on the other half, knows I’ll never get her close enough to satisfy my desires.  I can’t let her be my weakness though.  Men like me would never survive in this this life with weaknesses.  Elianna deserves better, and I know it, but knowing and accepting are two completely different things.

Amazon US | Amazon UK | iBooks

Mandy is a mess in the relationship department. Her husband of 2 years was killed in action by an IED 5 years ago and she's not dated since. Her friends think it would be a great idea to set her up with a guy who has "issues" from the waist down, as they put it because she's turning into a nun. Malcolm was a playboy who was known to have Pep both on the ice and in the sheets, so for him to not be engaged from the waist down is something of a myth. When their mutual friends stand them up for an emergency and they meet by "fate" chemistry and heat have a way of taking everything out of their hands. Throw in a rambunctious 5-year-old boy and you have a really cute story of love and loss. Jade made this story for me and because I love kids in stories...he made this a 5 star read.
 I was really expecting a laugh out loud book, but what I got was a sweet poignant look at what it's like to be a single mom and have to be both parents. I loved the fact that there really wasn't a lot of angst and drama in this. For it having such deep themes, it was kind of lighthearted and Malcolm made it ALL worth it!! I fell in love with that man and when you find out what he does for a living after he retired from hockey it will have you swooning. I thought there was way too much sex for my taste, BUT everyone knows that I like my sexytimes understated and not thrown in every other page SOOO I knew what I was getting into before I signed up. I'm not going to knock a star off for that. I thought the plot was well thought out and it was unique in the execution. I never read the novella which at the beginning the author talks about, so all of it was a surprise for me. I know this is going to be shocking to some, but this was my first novel by this author and I loved her. Now, it makes me want to go back and read her other books which I have on my kindle, but just never read (why I don't know!!) So, now I'll be reading her rom-com when I have a free moment! Pick this up for you and maybe a friend - so y'all can talk about it over coffee...that's what my friends and I do

Title: SexcationAuthor: Heidi McLaughlinGenre: Contemporary RomanceRelease Date: August 24, 2017 He’s British.She’s American. They meet on vacation. And agree to fake name each other. One is lying about everything. The other is telling the truth. They’re about to embark on a sexcation.But what happens when it’s over?
"Heidi McLaughlin does it again with this delightfully sexy read. Sexcation lines its chapters with rich character development, sex that doesn't have you skipping pages, witty banter/plot and belly laughs for days. These characters have jumped from the story and straight into my heart. 5 sweet yet sinful stars!" - K.Pinson, Author of Between the Raindrops

"With a sexy, British-accented hero & a tropical setting that had me longing for the beach, Sexcation is the perfect fictional getaway." - USA Today Best Selling Author, Cindi Madsen

"A sexy vacation romance perfect for your next summer read!" - Sarah Robinson, Best Selling Author of NUDES

"A book that kept a smile on face the whole time. I fell in love from the first word and couldn't stop reading till the end." - Natasha Madison, Best Selling Author

"The sexy as sin vacation we all dream about! Heidi McLaughlin does it again with Sexcation, a steamy read turned epic romance that will leave you rooting for that happy ending. Five sizzling stars!" - Best Selling Author, Amy Briggs



This book kind of reminded me of a movie I watched recently, though without the sex. So you Jackson and Jade who just are spending a week away from everyone and want the anomity of a week long hookup, but here's the kicker...Jackson wants Jade to play his wife for a week to keep the other women who "want" him at bay. At times, I found Jackson to be an adorable pig (No seriously I did) he had his beliefs and he held on to those things like a pig in mud. The problem with trying to run away with it all is that it usually smacks you back in the face - which is what it does for Jackson. I think that sometimes everyone wants a week away from it all!! We just don't get that sometimes our life might intermingle down the line lol! Did this book have a lot of sex in it? Ummm, for me....yes but I knew that going into it so I tried to not let it bother me. When I know things going into them I let them go and just enjoy the book. I thought Heidi did an exceptional job on this and would give her 4 stars for originality and for a well-written, thought out plot!! 
I laugh and find myself tempted by her hand, which sits on the metal table. After our impromptu snogging session, Jade put on a nice little sundress which has my imagination running wild and some strappy sandals. Her toes are painted a turquoise blue. I found it a little weird at first; normally I see reds or pinks on toes, but rarely a blue colour. I quite like it. I like it a lot. In fact, I’ve yet to find something about this woman I don’t like. “And yet, you didn’t. I came over and kissed you. You could’ve punched me, kicked me in the nuts, or groped me. I’m grateful you let me kiss you the way I did.”She blushes again. “Why did you? I’m sure there are other, more beautiful women at the resort that would’ve been happy to oblige you.”“But then I wouldn’t be here with my pretend wife, trying to get to know more about her.”Her eyes don’t waver from mine as she takes a sip of her cocktail. “Do you really want to get to know me?”“The fake you, yes. I don’t want to get cornered by one of the triplets and not know my facts.”“Are they in fact, triplets?”I shake my head. “I haven’t got a bloody clue, to be honest with you. Fake tits all look the same at the end of the day.”Her mouth falls open into a sexy little O and images of other ways I can make that happen pop straight into mind. “I named them Muffy, Tuffy, and Buffy. The names seemed fitting,” she says with a shrug. I crack the fuck up. “Then that is what we’ll call them until they leave.”“Do you know when that is? Or what room they’re in?”I lean over the table and pick her hand up. “They leave after us, and no, I don’t, thank goodness. I don’t care either. I made you a promise and I always keep my promises.” I bring her hand to my lips and let them linger against her skin until a passer-by makes a comment about us being in love. Not love, lust though, and I couldn’t be happier that I chose her to be my distraction this week. When I finally let go of her hand, she picks up her drink and finishes it. “Want another one?” I ask, already standing by the time she nods. I lean down and kiss the top of her head, inhaling the scent of her shampoo. The smell of grapefruit assaults my senses, making my heart race. I groan as I walk into the restaurant. I could’ve easily waited for the waitress to come back to us, but I needed to step away from Jade for a minute. She’s fucking deadly with her innocent façade and I have a strong reason to believe I’m going to fall victim to her and love every minute of it. When I walk out, there’s a bloke talking to her as if it’s an everyday occurrence. I have never been jealous of any man until now. The pure rage I feel, watching him talk to my pretend wife almost takes over my body, yet I find the will to let it go. Who am I to stand in the way of her potential hook-ups?a Rafflecopter giveaway
