Blurb
After discovering that the little orphaned child that she had fallen in love with in the pediatric unit was actually her husband Steven’s child with his recently deceased secretary, Racquel Levin is distraught and unsure about how to carry on with life as they had known it. Seeing as her happy family unit was falling apart, Racquel decides to go away for a few days to think things through. On her way to a healing retreat, she gets involved in a near-tragic car accident and is admitted into the ICU where she remained unconscious for a couple of weeks.

April is a busy, career-orientated young woman who has just found her footing in a very well-known marketing firm. Her world literally comes to a halt when her mother almost dies in a car crash, trying to get away from her father. April visits her mother everyday at the hospital, and unbeknown to her, she catches the attention of a drop-dead-gorgeous British resident doctor, Jason Watson, who is still healing from the scars left by the demons of his past.

As Jason and April search for their answers, their love story becomes an inspiration for Racquel and Steven as their family gains a new understanding of God’s divine emotional and physical healing and the realization that true joy and peace come where grace and forgiveness abound.


About the Author

Jessica Tendayi was born and raised in the beautiful land of Zimbabwe. She has been writing short stories ever since the age of twelve, and although none of them were ever published, she has held on to the belief that life writes the best stories. These are stories that we can all use as God-given life-lessons and strength derived from other people’s situations in order to do this thing called life. Jessica currently lives in the countryside of Toronto, Canada with her husband and three children.​When she was a child, Jessica was frequently told that she had an extra-ordinary imagination; that she told tall stories. So she grew up thinking that story-telling was a bad thing; that making up stuff made you a liar. But as she grew older, the stories also continued to grow in her heart. These are stories that we can all use as God-given life-lessons and strength, derived from other people’s situations in order to do, and make sense of this thing called life. Stories of everyday life. Inspirational stories of rising above the challenges and obstacles that everyday life throws at each and every one of us. Stories that serve to remind us all that there is a greater force within each and every one of us that when we connect with that inner force, we are all able to do extraordinary things. Life's stories.
For many years, Jessica suppressed her stories. She stopped believing in their inspirational power, and certainly did not want to be thought of as a liar! But as she grew older, she slowly began to learn to be brave and courageous. She started to slowly allow the stories that had long been buried in her heart to unfold with reckless abandon.
It is Jessica’s hope and most sincere prayer, that as you flip through the pages of her stories, and as you somehow interact with all the characters, that you too would be motivated and inspired!

Level Me Up - Lauren Helms

Title: Level Me UpSeries: A Gamer Boy NovelAuthor: Lauren HelmsGenre: NA RomanceRelease Date: June 5, 2017 The last thing Morgan Lawson is looking for when attending Comic-Con is love. But even prior to exchanging first words, Morgan is drawn to Dex, a drop-dead sexy gamer boy who lives and breathes video games. Before she realizes it, Morgan finds herself caught up in all things Dex.​​Dex Roberts knows the moment he sees Morgan, he wants more. He falls hard and fast, but isn’t surprised when his job as a professional video gamer takes its toll on their relationship.Once Morgan decides what truly makes her happy, there’s no time to waste. But without any warning, life threatens to destroy what both Morgan and Dex want most... each other.

Why the heck do I feel like I’m about to do something utterly stupid, like that split second before you realize you’ve missed the step and are about to fall down the stairs?
“Hi,” he says in this perfectly male, deep voice. “How are you ladies today?” 
I distantly hear Ruby reply, “Well, we’re just fine. Thank you for asking.” 
And she nudges me as I realize that while he asked both of us that question, he is only looking at me, and I’m not moving or saying anything. Apparently, I'm a freaking mute. Why can't I form words? Get it together, Morgan!
"Hi," he says again, but to only me this time.
And just like that, I snap myself out of it, slap on a smile and reply, "Hi," as I reach out and offer my hand like it’s some formal introduction. Again, I ask myself, what is wrong with me?
With a smile that reaches his eyes, he grasps my hand in his as I say, "I'm Morgan, and I have no idea what a positive K/D is."
I hear Ruby stifle a laugh beside me. I'm never going to live this down. Somebody should just shoot me now. But to my surprise, Dex doesn't laugh at me. He is still smiling at me and says, “Hi Morgan, I'm Dex. And don't worry about it, this guy sitting next to me," he jerks his head to his right, "doesn’t know what a positive K/D is either, but at least you're honest." 
I quickly glance to his right and see a guy with short blond hair turn toward him glaring, but then turn toward us, smile and says, "He doesn't know what he's talking about."
I slide my eyes back to Dex and realize he is still holding my hand even though the handshake stopped a minute ago. I quickly drop my hand and smile as a big bouncer type guy comes up to us and says, "Sorry ladies, you’re holding up the line. Keep moving." 
Ruby apologizes, and I apologize to Dex because I'm still staring at him. But we move along, and now the gamer to Dex’s right, Simon "SezSimon" Palmer, is signing the shirt. Dex looks back at me as he finishes signing a poster and says, "it was nice meeting you, Morgan," with a warm smile. I can only manage a smile and nod as Ruby finishes getting the last signature. Then we finish and get out of the line.
We walk a little bit before Ruby stops, grabs my arm and doubles over with laughter. Author Lauren Helms has been an avid reader from a young age. After starting a book review site, that launched her fully into the book world, she decided to take the plunge and write her first novel. Since she was working for a video game strategy guide publisher at the time, she decided to mix what she knew best, video games and romance. Jumping all in, she joined NaNoWriMo and a month later had a 50K word first draft. Lauren lives in Indianapolis, IN with her video game playing husband, two little girl book nerds, and a little boy who will hopefully be a gamer boy too some day! HOSTED BY:

About the Author
Lorri Moulton
Fairytales are simply stories that remind us to be our best selves. If we do this, we can be successful. Good will triumph over evil. True love is possible. And dragons can be tamed.
The need for fairytales is just as important today as it has ever been. We must remember that what we do matters. Honor and loyalty are not just words. And we will be held responsible for our actions.
Finally, true love is more than infatuation. True love is romantic, but it is also means considering what is important to someone else and when necessary, to put their needs before your own. To work together to accomplish the goals that matter to both of you. To be open to the idea that magical and miraculous things happen everyday. And to build a future that will make the world a better place, at least in your little corner of the world.

About the Author

I am a Midwestern Christian mother of three teenagers and a precocious ten-year-old. Reading is a passion of mine, but I adore writing. Some of the best people have been placed in my life to help me publish my books. They are a blessing and mean more to me than they will ever know.
Jennifer Harshman of HarshmanServices.com has been my Editor for the last seven books. Opal Campbell of Videos by O. has designed all of my book teasers and trailers. Three of the most excellent Actors have come alongside my books, too: John Wells, a Multi-Award Winning Actor from Louisville, Kentucky; Tom Proctor, another Actor and Stuntman; and John Thomassen from New York.
It is my goal as an Author to write scenes that uplift and encourage along with making one feel the experience. I want readers to finish the books feeling hope, love, and happiness. To date, the books I have published are Inspirational (Christian) Romances but they have a Contemporary Romance feel to them.

His Rules - Dani Wyatt

 






Amazon







































One bite of the tofu chipotle burger at his latest venture capital investment and Rueger Marshall is hooked.  But not on the food.  On the sweet and clumsy waitress that is also about to find out just what it means to be his babygirl…and just what it means to follow the rules.

Lexi Chase has three misdemeanors and a new probation mentor she’s supposed to meet.  Her job at the vegan deli doesn’t hold much promise, until the day the man with the lumberjack beard and the handmaid suit sits in her section and teaches her about destiny.

Can Rueger ever come to grips with the fantasies of Lexi wide eyed, looking up at him with the name ‘Daddy’ on her lips?  Or will questions of hidden agendas and a stack of incriminating photos end their fairytale before it can start?



Author’s Note: Grab your candy heart panties and an ice pack, because these two are about to teach you just how hot a list of rules can be.  Sit back, wiggle your toes, find your favorite stuffie and settle in for a decadent, dirty ride with a to-die-for DaddyDom and his one-and-only babygirl.  As always, this is a happily ever after safe read with unrelated adults finding their happy place with a bit of DD/babygirl fun.  Enjoy.





















 “Now.” I step forward, pushing my thighs between her knees, opening a gap exactly my width for me. A hand instinctively goes to her hair and gives it a rough tug, forcing her to look up into my face.
 Without hesitation, I lean down and take her lips with mine, listen to the deep breath she takes when my tongue pushes inside her mouth. Her body shivers as I deepen our kiss, my beast raging inside as the momentum builds.
 In my mind’s eye, I see my cum dripping from her. From her sweet, freckled nose. From her chin. From her cunt. I see it everywhere, and it’s beautiful.
 I brush my hands over the thin fabric that covers her tits, feel the resistance of the nipples, taste the scent of her cunt as it comes up to mix with our kiss. I have to break our connection, have to give myself time to take her mind as well as her body. I shift back a step, leaving her legs open and her mouth agape.
 “Who’s in charge here?” I ask, watching her swallow as my words harden.
 “You are…” Her lips still shine with our kiss. Her eyelashes flicker, covering and
uncovering her doe-brown eyes.
 “Who is?” I grunt. If she’s read the rules I left for her last night, she will know she’s fucked up. The way she immediately swallows and shoves her hands under her ass, I can see she’s just realized the slipup.  “You are, Daddy.”

While They Watch - Sosie Frost & Lana Grayson

You don't belong here...Unless you belong to me. Duchess isn’t a club for girls like you.
It isn’t safe for those too innocent, too inexperienced.
Especially curious little virgins. 

But I can train you…
I can tease you. Teach you. 
Punish you.
I will show you the true meaning of pleasure.

Are you brave enough, pet?
There is one little catch.

This club caters to a very specific desire…
They will hear your every mew.
They will see your every tremble.
They will know exactly when I make you mine. 

You belong to me, little one.
And this is how I prove it.
When you offer me your innocence, I will take you…
While They Watch.

While They Watch is a sexy, new adult romance featuring an innocent former-musician struggling to find her place in the world after abandoning her dream of becoming a concert violinist. Fortunately, she meets a mysterious and dominating stranger who puts her back into the spotlight…but nothing could prepare her for his desired performance.

Warning: This novel is a taboo exploration of exhibitionism, light dominance, and the naughtiest of fantasies. The content may be too extreme/intense for some readers...




5.0 out of 5 stars One hot, emotionally stunning, dark romance. A must read!ByTears of Crimson Blogon June 2, 2017Format: Kindle EditionSexy, dark, intriguing. While they Watch is a book that takes you on so many twists and turns you're not sure what's coming next. I was blown away by the entire book.

Rock My Body - Lee Piper

Title: Rock My Body (A Mondez Novel, 2)Author: Lee PiperGenre: Contemporary RomanceRelease Date: June 3, 2017Publisher: Evernight Publishing

Rabid Readers Book Blog - "And boy was this book hot! I had to reread a few lines. I had a blast getting lost in this story."

Twenty-two year old Riley Sears promises herself never to fall in love unless it is with a guy who is long-term boyfriend material. She is not crazy, her psychologist reassures her of that, but when faced with situations she cannot control… Well. Her anxiety skyrockets. 
Enter Dominic Mondez, the hottest creature ever to grace pecs and abs. The notorious playboy propositions Riley with the best sex of her life—his words. However, after learning he never sleeps with the same woman twice, Riley’s decision becomes remarkably simple.
No. Way. In. Hell.Sadly, traversing the murky waters of friends without benefits is far from simple, especially since Dominic is the lead guitarist of local rock band, Mondez. He is also tempestuous, a womanizer, and—even worse—inexplicably jealous. Dominic is bad for Riley in every possible way. Bad, bad, bad.If only her body would listen. He was watching me, I could feel it. My body sensed him long before my head did and started tingling. Everywhere. Fuck.Just the thought of him made my heart pound. Traitorous thing. It merrily rammed against my ribcage as soon as I pictured his tall, muscular body and dishevelled, russet hair. My fingers itched to reach out and delve through the soft strands—they remembered what it felt like to tug down on them as he groaned into my open mouth—but I shifted in my seat and sat on them instead. I wasn’t going down that road again, hell no. I was done. D.O.N.E. A low chuckle cut through the muted sounds of heavy rock music emanating from inside, its gravely sound resonating with my downstairs department, causing a deep blush to stain my cheeks. Clearly, I wasn’t fooling anyone. What in the name of sweet baby Jesus is he even doing here?I tried so hard to focus on what Sebastian was saying. Thankfully, he held up his end of the conversation despite my unexpected inability to formulate any words. We’d been sitting together for a while without a single awkward pause so I nodded, smiled, and even laughed when required. To be fair, it was a pretty decent pick-up attempt. Well, until he showed up. Blue eyes burned my skin. You don’t own me, you don’t own me, you don’t—I swallowed, steeled myself and then glanced across at him. Own me. Dominic was leaning against the wall, his black, button-down shirt almost bursting at the seams. I blamed those insanely strong pecs and biceps. Honestly, they were huge. And the way his dark blue jeans hung enticingly low off narrow hips… Well. It should be illegal. He was going to give someone—AKA me—a cardiac arrest if he wasn’t careful. I shook my head. With a bottle of beer in one hand and a buxom blonde in the other— this one looked nastier than most—the guy was the physical embodiment of everything I despised. Truly. If only my body would listen. Raising the drink to full, kissable lips, he tipped his head back, piercing gaze still locked on me. He then wiped his mouth with the back of his hand, a flicker of emotions I couldn’t identify crossing his face when he noticed my breath catch. The girl must have registered his distraction too because she started rubbing herself up against him like an overly aroused limpet. Gross. He broke contact with me and looked down at her, a dark smile tugging his lips. After murmuring something in her ear and slapping her on the behind, she giggled. I looked away, that familiar painful knot forming in my stomach once more. Damn you, Dominic Mondez. Damn you to hell.

Lee Piper is a lover of books. She often juggles reading seven novels at a time for the sheer joy of it. At the grand old age of five, Lee Piper decided to become an author, however found a limited market for her unicorn stories. So, high school English teacher it was.​At thirty-two, and grieving the loss of her second miscarriage, Lee Piper turned to novels—Kylie Scott to be precise—to escape the pain. This then inspired her to write Rock My World, the first in a four part contemporary romance series. Her debut novel not only reached the second round of the 2016 Emerald Award, but also became an Evernight Publishing bestseller within the first two weeks of publication.Lee Piper lives in Adelaide, South Australia with her drummer husband, cheeky daughters, and one very crazy dog.
