Treasured By Delisa Lynn
Lila Carls had one goal…
To attend New York University. She’s dreamt of being a lawyer most of her life, and she worked hard to get into NYU. What she hadn’t planned was falling in love with Liam before she left. Knowing she was about to go across the country and leave her boyfriend behind hurt more than she thought it would.
Liam Ellis fell for the blue-eyed beauty the minute he saw her…
He always knew someday he and Lila would be together. Only now that she was finally his, she was leaving for NYU.
Lila’s dream was everything she thought it would be and more, because that’s where she met Evan Martin…
Evan was a country boy with a big heart, but when his high school girlfriend crushed him, he needed a change. So he packed up and moved to New York City. The last thing on his mind was a relationship, and he was very much enjoying the single life…that was until Lila.
Evan and Lila became quick friends, and although he knows she has boyfriend he wants more…
To complicate things even more, tragedy strikes leaving Lila feeling broken and alone. Who will she turn to? Can she ever find her way back to the man who captured her heart and soul?
Or will she settle for the next best thing?

Synopsis:
Grind (verb): to weaken or destroy gradually
Macy Carrington is not the woman I once thought her to be.
What she does not allow her heart to feel, she gives with her body. The sex between us is explosive and depraved. I’ve done things with her that would never have crossed my wildest imagination, and I can’t ever seem to get enough.
But now I want more from her. I want to figure out her dark secret, expose it and then help her to heal from it. I know, without a doubt, that Macy is capable of love, and I will grind her down until I make her accept the truth of it.
Grind (verb): to wear down, polish, or sharpen by friction
Cal Carson is not the man I once thought him to be.
Strong, determined, sexy as hell and a beast in the bedroom. He is every woman’s fantasy.
He is my fantasy.
But no matter how hard Cal tries to grind me down, my heart and secrets are mine and mine alone.

He’s my art professor.
I’m his student.
With an electric connection and undeniable chemistry, I know it won’t be long until one of us cracks.
When the opportunity arises to pose naked for the entire art class, I can’t help the thrill of knowing he’ll be watching me.
While they all look past me with their eyes narrowed and concentrated, drawing only the lines and angles of my body, he sees right through me down to my vulnerability.
He sees more than just the physical aspects—he sees me.
That’s when I see the struggle in his features as he tries to stay in control.
How do we keep our distance when everything seems to be pulling us together?
What feels so right can only go wrong if we keep pushing the limits.

Excerpt From 2.3
I stand in front of her. “Take your clothes off.”
She looks surprised by this.
And normally, I’d want to undress her, but not now.
She needs this.
“Um,” she says, looking puzzled.
“I’m taking my clothes off,” I say as I strip them off and throw them into a chaise. “Get naked with me.”
Her eyes trail hungrily down my body. I love the desire I see in them, but that’s not what this is about.
If it were, I’d have her stripped and pinned under me in about two seconds flat.
I walk down the steps and into the pool, the water the perfect soothing temperature.
She takes her clothes off and joins me in the center.
“I don’t like being told what to do,” she says softly.
“I know you don’t, but sometimes you need it.” I give her a long, sweet kiss. Then I hold her shoulders, keeping her away from me. “You’re naked,” I state.
“Yeah, I am,” she flirts.
“That means right here, in this pool, it’s just us. Naked.”
“You’ve said the word naked like four times. I get it. We’re naked.”
“We are physically, but I want you naked emotionally.”

Is Parker a #pusspuss? #Unpredictable @ShantelTessier
Title: Unpredictable
Author: Shantel Tessier
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date: April 6, 2015
My niche in life is being an asshole. It suits me. I’m that guy who jokes about love and how settling down is overrated. Why would a guy ever fall for one woman when you can have as many as you want? Makes no sense to me.
But if being a cop has taught me anything, it’s that life is unpredictable. And that is exactly what Katherine is. The woman makes me question my sanity on a daily basis. Sometimes she makes me want to keep her to myself; other times, she makes me want to jump off a cliff just to get away from her.
Yet I still find myself turning into that little pussy I said I’d never be. Showing up on her front door holding flowers, only to have her throw them at me. Calling just to say hello, only for her to press ignore. Yeah, I’ve become a pussy all right. A whipped one at that. At first she was a challenge, but now I don’t like the fact that she is playing hard to get. But when someone comes after me, threatens my job, my life. It’s her that stands by my side. It’s her who has to pay for my sins. And it’s her who I’m threatened to lose. One thing that you need to know about me is that I’ll fight for what I believe in. And I believe in her more than myself.
What’s that saying? Boy meets girl and the rest is history…Well, those who fuck with what is mine, will become history.
Casey’s Thoughts
Parker has always been the guy that made fun of his friends when they finally met their match, but what happens when life throws him a curveball?
When Parker is called to the scene of a horrific accident his emotions are tore out the frame, and as a parent, that scene had me an emotional mess! Shortly after he is called to a domestic scene, and that bitch is crazy! Both of these event impact Parker, but he never thought he would cross paths with Katherine, aka crazy bitch, again.
Unpredictable is Parker’s story. Parker has previously been see as one that puts himself first, only out for one thing, BUT within this story you see Parker in a new light. In fact, you may begin to realize why he has a cat named PussPuss. In reading Parker’s story, you will see he has a heart of gold, and when he protects something he gives it 200%.
So prepare yourself for this standalone. You will laugh, possibly cry, cuss, and fall in love with Parker.

I sit at the wedding party table and watch the lovely couple smile at one another as they eat their cake. It’s sickening.
I can’t get my mind off the beautiful yet bitchy woman sitting next to me. She is having a much easier time ignoring me. But she did admit earlier that she was a good faker. I try to get up the courage to speak to her by taking another drink of my wine. I don’t need the liquid courage to actual speak to her; I need it to keep me calm from being a dick, which is what I do so well. I really don’t want her to kick me in the balls like she said she would.
“Would you like to talk about what happened that day?” I ask her politely.
She looks up from her cake and stares at me as if I have two heads. “Not to you.”
“Maybe I can help you,” I offer. “I am a police officer,” I remind her as if I wasn’t the one who threw her down in her front yard and handcuffed her. “Does that type of thing happen often with you and your boyfriend?” Maybe they like to fight. Maybe it’s like their foreplay. Believe me, I have seen some crazy shit.
She places her fork on the white tablecloth and leans over to whisper, “I told you once and I’ll tell you again. Drop it. What happened was none of your business.”
I reach out to softly rub her arm, and I feel it break out in goosebumps. “Does he hurt you?” I ask looking deep into her eyes. I’m being a total ass, and she knows it.
She jerks her arm away from me. “I had just got home that morning and was in a bad fucking mood,” she growls.
Just gotten home? It was like seven in the morning. “What in the hell were you doing just getting home?” I demand. “Especially the way you were dressed.” I smile as I let the dickness come out. “Been out hooking all night? And your man got tired of having to share you?” The memory of her telling me that she wanted to fuck her man’s best friend is still fresh in my mind. And what a thought that is.
I hear Samantha gasp as I watch Katherine’s eyes narrow on me. She reaches over to the table, and the next thing I know, she’s shoving her cake into my face. “Vas te faire encule salaud,” she hisses in my ear before I feel a cold liquid land in my lap. I can literally hear my cock sizzle as if she just put out a fire. Holy fuck, did she cuss at me in French? I think I just came.

CLASH @BennettBooks is HOT!
Clash: A Legal Affairs Story (Book #1 of Cal and Macy’s Story)
Sawyer Bennett
Release Date: April 7, 2015
Clash, a novella, is the first book in this Legal Affairs trilogy (Cal and Macy’s Story) and is releasing on 4/7/15. Grind will be released on 4/21/15 and Yield will be released on 5/5/15. Grind and Yield are full length novels.
Clash Synopsis:
Clash (verb): to conflict, disagree.
It might be fair to say that I despise Macy Carrington. She slings insults with precision, not caring about the destruction she leaves in her wake. We clash in a battle of wills every time we’re around each other, and yet… I still fantasize about being lodged deep within her body.
Clash (verb): to come together or collide.
I have never encountered someone that grates me the way Cal Carson does. His pompous, arrogant demeanor. A holier-than-thou attitude. Any interaction with “Saint Cal” ends in a verbal clash of epic proportions, and yet… there’s no one I’d rather have in my bed than him.
Clash (noun): a battle, fight or skirmish.
Her breathy moans mingle with the sound of our flesh coming together, clashing with the silence that surrounds us, dispelling any notions I once had about Macy Carrington.
Maybe I can break down her walls if we can call a truce to this battle.
He whispers filthy words in my ear, provoking feelings I never knew were possible. The burning desire in his touch clashes with everything I once believed about Cal Carson.
Maybe he can be the balm I need to soothe my broken soul, if only temporarily.
Check it out on Goodreads.
Casey’s Thoughts
Hot-Oh-Mighty! Clash is by far one of the best books I’ve ready in a while. It’s hot, hot, hot, and left me wanting more. Seriously, Sawyer Bennett, I was like what the hell when it stopped!
What happens when two people that despise each other finally give in? The better question is what happens when the girl who only has one night stands ask for round two? This book was hot, but there is also something about Macy that will have you wanting to dig deeper into what makes her the way she is. Oh, and I ABSOLUTELY loved the Dear Diary format! It gives you a hint of Macy!
If you are a fan of Sawyer Bennett, one click Clash right now! You will not be disappointed. If you’ve not read, Sawyer Bennett, what are you waiting on? #oneclick

By the waist, he lifted me, pinning me to the wall with the hard planes of his body. I could do nothing but wrap my legs around his hips. He rocked against me, the friction of his jeans igniting that fire, the threat of Ben fueling those flames. He buried his face in my neck as if he didn’t want to see, his bite aggressive as he turned to nip at my jaw, at my chin, moving to my lips. “Told you I wouldn’t let you go. Not ever again.”
His frenzied voice ached with regret.
“Never,” I told him, grinding myself on his erection that was pressed tight between my thighs. I felt desperate to erase the distance Ben had tried to wedge between us.
Christopher seemed even more fractured over it, unable to fathom the idea of what Ben had tried to force on me.
“I just got you back and he’s trying to take you away.”
“I’m here…I’m here.”
“Here,”he said as if a demand, tearing at my clothes, overwrought as he rushed to palm every inch of exposed skin. My shoulders were pressed to the wall, my chest heaving with harsh breaths. He pushed up my shirt and dragged off the cups of my bra. My breasts felt heavy and full as he looked on them with a stuttered groan. He splayed his hands across my back, dragging me forward, and his mouth was there, drawing my nipple into his hot mouth, sucking hard before he turned to the other.
I bucked, my hands fists in his hair.
He wrapped an arm low around my waist, his body leaving mine for a fraction of a second, and without setting me down, he dragged my shorts and panties from my legs. Fumbling, he pushed his jeans and underwear down around his thighs.
Without warning, he thrust into me.
I cried out from the perfect invasion.
No condom.
No heed.
Christopher took me completely.

Leaving Amarillo synopsis:Dixie Lark hasn’t had it easy. She lost her parents in an accident when she was young and grew up in a ramshackle house on a dirt road in Amarillo with her ailing grandparents and overprotective older brother. Thanks to her grandfather, Dixie learned to play a mean fiddle, inspired by the sounds of the greats—Johnny and June, Waylon, and Hank. Her grandfather’s fiddle changed Dixie’s life forever, giving her an outlet for the turmoil of her broken heart and inspiring a daring dream.
Ten years later, Dixie and her brother, Dallas, are creating the music they love and chasing fame with their hot band, Leaving Amarillo. But Dixie isn’t enjoying the ride. All she can think about is Gavin, the band’s tattooed, tortured drummer who she’s loved since they were kids. She knows he feels the connection between them, but he refuses see her as more than his best friend’s little sister.
Convinced that one night with Gavin will get him out of her system, Dixie devises a plan. She doesn’t know that her brother has forbidden Gavin from making a move on her-a promise he swore he’d always keep . . . a promise that once broken will unexpectedly change the future for Dixie, Gavin and the band.

Casey’s Thoughts
Loss, Love, and putting your feelings to the side for the sake of the band. That is what Dixie has been doing for as long as she can remember. Her brother, Dallas, his childhood friend,Gavin, and Dixie make up the band Leaving Amarillo. After losing their parents at a young age Dallas and Dixie moved in with their grandparents who loved and cared for them, but Gavin didn’t have that kind of life.
When Austin Music Fest has a cancellation it’s what the band has been looking for. They pile in the van, and pray that this is a chance to finally make it. What Dixie doesn’t expect is to final let her feelings for Gavin come to the forefront, but she referees to let it interfere with the band.
After demanding answers from Gavin about why he never touches her at all to making him an offer of one night, their worlds change. There’s one problem. Gavin has promised to never touch her, but Dixie has always been more to him.
Just when things are going well and there’s a chance of a record deal, tragedy strikes. This makes their world stop, but there’s something Gavin’s not telling Dixie. When she finds out, he’s livid of the danger he’s putting himself in, but it’s all for the sake of the band.
Leaving Amarillo is a story that pulled me in from page one, brought tears to my eyes with the first line of chapter 30, and had me pulling for a HEA. You will not be disappointed at Caisey Quinn’s newest release; in fact, you’ll be dying for the Loving Dallas.
