SYNOPSIS
“What lies beneath my veiled perfection is the ugly truth���my truth, my reality, my destiny.”
Vivian Graham has an acceptance letter into Harvard, a badass tattoo, loyal friends, ties to marijuana, a penchant for Dunkin��� Donuts, and her pesky V-card.
Everyday she takes the Red Line to her job at The Green Pot in Boston while her friends enter the coveted, black iron gates to higher learning. The ramifications from a tragic accident have put her life on hold while time marches on for everyone around her.
After graduating from Harvard Law, Boston native, Oliver Konrad, moves to Portland to start his career and his life. Three years later, after a horrific discovery, he returns home to trade in his three-piece suit for leather work boots and his suburban home for a condo in Cambridge.
All he brought back to the East Coast was an aversion to pillows and secrets he keeps hidden behind a mysterious locked door. Oliver���s days are predictable and his nights are lonely until he meets Vivian on the subway. Her long raven hair, green eyes, and mile-long legs are achingly sexy, but the way she “innocently” fingers and licks her Boston Kreme doughnut can only be described in two words���complete torture.
When their paths cross at every turn, laughter is abundant, friendship is easy, and love is unintentional. However, their future seems improbable.

A Standalone Contemporary Romance novel!

Book Review ~ ‘Bad Romeo’ by Leisa Rayven.

Bad Romeo by Leisa Rayven.

(Starcrossed #1)

Genres: New Adult, Romance, Contemporary

SYNOPSIS

When Cassie Taylor met Ethan Holt at acting school, sparks flew. She was the good girl actress. He was the bad boy about campus. But one fated casting choice for Romeo and Juliet changed it all. Like the characters they were playing, Cassie and Ethan’s romance seemed destined. Until he broke her heart and betrayed her trust. Now the A-list heartthrob is back in her life and turning her world around. One touch at a time.

Cast as romantic leads once again, they’re forced to confront raw memories of the heartbreaking lows and pulse-pounding highs of their secret college affair. But they’ll also discover that people who rub each other the wrong way often make the best sparks.

Book Review ~ ‘Bad Romeo’ by Leisa Rayven ~ 5 Stars!

‘Bad Romeo’ is one of those books that has had me thinking about it for a long time. Every time I’ve tried to write a review for it, I’ve just been unable to put my feelings into words, because quite simply, I loved it, and I don’t know how to explain just how much it means to me.

Being introduced to characters that I can really relate to is something that doesn’t come along all the time, so when I really connect to a character it is something really special. With Cassie I felt a kindred spirit, and a girl that was just real! Her relationship with Ethan was perfect, she was equal parts sassy and sweet and the change that she had on Ethan was just so beautiful to witness.

I loved the time jumps in this book, and it made the past scenes seem even more poignant and special when we see how things have fallen apart in the future. But that made me love Ethan and Cassie more, and I was desperately rooting for them from the word go.

I can’t wait to read ‘Broken Juliet’ as I know that it will be something incredibly special, just like this book, and I was in tears by the end of it. That ending was just perfect!

5 Stars.

Excerpt Reveal ~ ‘Manwhore’ by Katy Evans.

MANWHORE by Katy Evans

(The Manwhore Series��#1)

Release Date:��March 24th 2015

SYNOPSIS

Is it possible to expose Chicago���s hottest player���without getting played?

This is the story I���ve been waiting for all my life, and its name is Malcolm Kyle Preston Logan Saint. Don���t be fooled by that last name though. There���s nothing holy about the man except the hell his parties raise. The hottest entrepreneur Chicago has ever known, he���s a man���s man with too much money to spend and too many women vying for his attention.

Mysterious. Privileged. Legendary. His entire life he���s been surrounded by the press as they dig for tidbits to see if his fairytale life is for real or all mirrors and social media lies. Since he hit the scene, his secrets have been his and his alone to keep. And that���s where I come in.

Assigned to investigate Saint and reveal his elusive personality, I���m determined to make him the story that will change my career.

But I never imagined he would change my life. Bit by bit, I start to wonder if I���m the one discovering him���or if he���s uncovering me.

What happens when the man they call Saint, makes you want to sin?

I look very different than the girl Saint met in his office. But I don���t feel any different. My nerves are frayed to the edges as I give my name to a bouncer at the entrance and I���m allowed into the club, every part of me snug and tight in my dress as my black heels hit the floor.

Whereas M4 was all museum-like, the Ice Box is pure dark decadence. Ice sculptures sit on pedestals around the room. Cages with body-painted dancers hang from the ceiling. A bar with white and blue lights stretches from one wall to another.

Strobe lights flash across the space as I get jostled by the crowd. The bass thumps as the song ���Waves��� by Mr. Probz plays for the dancing crowd. Drinks are flowing on shiny silver trays, and the drinks are so adorned���by fruits, olives, salt glitter or colorful liquid swirls���they���re like artworks. This isn���t a normal swanky club. It���s the rich boys��� club and everywhere you look are beautiful people wearing beautiful things.

���I met him! God! When he said hi I thought I���d faint���!���

My nerves eat at me as I hear that, because I know for sure they���re talking about him. Trying to breathe, I wind deeper into the club, wishing for Gina so bad I ache. The room is packed with women, some clearly on the hunt, others already paired with someone, a few hanging out with their friends. I breathe slowly, in and out, telling myself I can do this. It���s just a club. I can have some fun. It���s been a while since I���ve gone out to a club, and never a club like this, but it doesn���t matter. I can interview people, and if I���m lucky, I can do more than that.

After scanning the area and trying to find the best spy-spots, I go to the top level and that���s when I get the best look at what���s happening downstairs at the most crowded corner.

And speak of the devil. My heart stops a beat when I see that dark head of his, and that loathed, burning knot in my stomach squeezes with a vengeance. I swear��no one in my life has ever made me this nervous.

He sits with his arms stretched out behind him, a wine glass and two women vying for his attention as he chats with his friends. His masculine face is illuminated in certain angles when the lights flash���his beauty unprecedented.

Okay.��Breathing.��Do I want him to know I���m here or not?

A watery sensation seems to spread down my limbs as I force myself to go downstairs. I wind a path to the ladies��� room and worm myself through the throng of bodies toward a wide mirror above a set of modernist floating sinks. A group of women preen at themselves while I look our reflections. To my right, a woman pouts her red lips, and to my left, her friend pouts her pink ones. Me? I���m still me, but I look extravagant, like I was born here. I look very different than the young girl in coveralls he met. Will he even recognize me like this?

���You going to the after-party?��� Red Lips asks Pink Lips as they retouch their lipsticks.

���No key yet.���

���Lookie lookie.��� Red Lips waves a keycard in the air.

There���s squealing in the room and she tucks the key into her bra. ���Mine!���

���So there���s an after-party?��� I ask them.

���At Saint���s penthouse,��� one says, nodding.

���How do you get invited to this party?���

���A hundred keys are distributed during the evening.���

A sudden thought of stealing the very key she���s just tucked into her bra flickers through my mind. I mean, it���s just a key. It couldn���t possibly be a felony.

���Babe,��� she tells me, ���stop giving my key the eye! I���ve been waiting three years to get a key like this. Go and work your ass out there if you want one. Only the finest asses make it.���

���Thanks,��� I say, turning to look at my ass in the mirror questioningly. Gina says I���ve got a great ass. It���s perky and the perfect handful, some would say. But would Saint say that?

I sigh and lean against the wall, then I spot all the little writings on an open stall door. I narrow my eyes, forcing my focus.

Malcolm for my baby-daddy

I sucked Saint���s cock

Tahoe rammed me right here

Callan licks cunt like a caveman

I head back into the noise and try to find a good spot for spying when I see him again. The two women won���t leave his side and now my stomach for some reason feels jumpy, annoying me. One of the blondes takes a shot from the waiter, licks the rim, and then adds salt.

Saint edges back and watches her with an expression of casual boredom, but his lips are curled, as if he���s having some fun.

I���m so engrossed watching���a little too fascinated and a little bit disgusted���I don���t realize a guard has walked up to me until he���s right in my face. He signals to the back of the room���to where Saint���s best friends are now watching me. Saint isn���t even looking my way. Oh no, he���s too busy being entertained, still wearing that almost-bored smile. Maybe they need to take their tops off to get him excited?

All three men fit in perfectly with the lavish surroundings, but I can���t look at the other two. Only at Malcolm. Malcolm���s dark good looks blend with the shadows like Hades in his own little corner of hell.

Suddenly he laughs over something one of the blondes does and he turns a little, his eyes landing straight on me���and stopping there.

I feel his stare like a hit of adrenaline. I want to look away, but I can���t, I feel trapped. I don���t know if I made this up but I could���ve sworn his chest jerked as if he sucked in a breath.

Does he recognize me?

Do I want him to?

Suddenly the atmosphere is so heavy I can���t breathe. My lungs feel like rocks and I really can���t��breathe.��As he rakes me in one fast, complete sweep of his eyes that makes my stomach grip nervously, he takes in my pumps up to my long blonde hair, and I become aware of my dress hugging the top of my thighs, my hips, my abdomen, my breasts and even my ass. Oh god. I force myself to follow the guard in his direction, every step accelerating my heartbeat. In that black suit and without a tie, the top button of his shirt open and his hair a bit rumpled, Saint is the embodiment of luxurious and decadent and sin. He is Sin Itself and I feel like an absolute���virgin.

He stretches his long legs out before him, his stare fixed on mine without any seeming inclination to move away.

���Mr. Saint,��� the guard clears his throat. ���The gentlemen had me summon her.���

Although his smile doesn���t waver, the look on his face is completely remote and unreadable.

���������������������������Here she is, gentlemen,��� the guard then tells the other two���the blond and the copper-haired men looking at me like lunch.

���Tahoe,��� the blonde says.

���������������������������Callan,��� the copper-haired says.

��������������������������Saint merely pats the blondes on the butt and sends them on her way, then he reaches out to take my elbow somehow in an instinctive gesture that brings me a strange sense of comfort. I don���t know anybody else here, so when he tugs me to his side, I go down and sit next to him on the edge of the long booth.

And that���s when he leans his dark head over to me and murmurs, ���Malcolm.��� His voice is so deep and rumbling, I shiver.

���Rachel,��� I lamely offer.

He raises his eyebrow and stares at me.��What are you doing here, Rachel?��he seems to ask.

I���m wondering what to say, when Tahoe lifts his drink and drains it. ���You���re up past your bedtime.��� The Texan oil baby. Oozing charm, drawling out the words.

I don���t know why but I���m acutely aware of the position of Saint���s body in relation to mine. He just straightened fully in the booth and somehow shifted so his arm is very noticeably stretched out behind me.

���Like they say, no rest for the wicked,��� I answer Tahoe with an extra-wide smile, my heart pounding over Saint���s nearness.

Suddenly I can smell him. Just him. Among all the mingled scents in the room, it���s Saint somehow in my lungs, in every��breath.��He radiates a vitality that draws me like a magnet. It unnerves me but something in his presence, so close to me, soothes me too.

���Apparently there���s a dress code���Saint had to drop his tail and horns at the door,��� Callan jokes as a waiter sets a drink before me.

���Oh yes.��� I tug the hem of my skirt self-consciously, ���I had to drop half my dress.���

���Did you now?��� Tahoe asks.

���T.���

One word, one letter, from Malcolm.

���Yeah, Saint?��� Tahoe returns, lifting his eyebrows.

���Dibs.���

I almost spit out the drink. I cough and slam my hand to my chest, and Saint calmly reaches out to take my drink from my hand and sets it aside. �����Okay?��� he asks, ducking his head and peering into my face.

I give one last cough and squeeze my eyes shut and nod, and when I open my eyes, Saint is the only thing I see. I find him staring at me in such a penetrating way I can feel the stare in my bones.

���Did you just get to the party, Rachel?��� he asks.

As he waits for my reply, he reaches for my cocktail and extends the glass out to me. His wrist is thick and looks so strong, so golden, his skin smooth, his arm dusted with a little bit of hair as I cautiously take it from him, our fingers brushing.

Tahoe reaches for his coat pocket and waves whatever he extracted in the air. ���Saint! May I?���

Excitement leaps in my chest when I realize it���s��the key!

���Not happening, that���s not her scene,��� Malcolm murmurs besides me.

���Aw! Come on, let me give her a key. She���s a dime, man,��� Tahoe drawls.

I���m so disbelieving, I���m not even breathing as Malcolm slowly stands. I follow him up, staring up into his face in confusion.

���What do you mean it���s not my scene?��� I demand. I feel like there���s no gravity when he stands so close to me. I���m dizzy. Confused. And unexpectedly hurt.

For the first time since we met, he looks at me like he���s actually losing his temper���with��me. He leans closer and puts his lips close to my ear. ���Trust me when I tell you, it���s not your scene. Go home,��� he whispers. He sends me a look laden with warning and walks away, blending into the crowd.

Tahoe and Callan stare at me, speechless. ���That���s a first,��� Tahoe mumbles and heads away.

I feel myself burn in humiliation and confusion. Worse is that, when I go outside, the same man who drove us around the day before walks over to me.

���Miss Livingston, a pleasure to drive you,��� he says, hanging up his phone as if Saint just called him. He is a huge man, with a bald head, an earpiece, and no expression. A second later, he���s opening the car door of the Rolls for me.

Seriously?

Did Saint call him just now and ask him to escort me home?

Aware of people staring and seeing me being led to Saint���s car, I climb into the back of the car and I murmur my thanks simply because it���s not this man���s fault.

The car smells new and expensive and, like��him. A bottle of wine and water bottles ride with me. There���s music in the background and the temperature is just right. The perfect luxury of it all tempts me to run my hands down my dress and look down at myself in confusion. What is wrong with me?

I feel as if he pulled the rug from under me and reminded me what I���m up against. The top of the species. Somebody ruthless.

I can���t take the heat in the back of my ears and on my cheeks. I sag on the backseat and set my forehead on the window. Focus, Livingston! Exhaling, I grab my phone and try to write down all the details about what I saw, but I can���t right now. I just can���t do anything but ride here, in his car, wondering why I feel so vulnerable.

Destroyed by Pepper Winters

It was the best kiss I���d ever received, but also the worst. It sparked lust and need in every inch of me. My lips wanted more, my tongue wanted savagery. My skin wanted to bruise because he needed to touch me so badly.

All my thoughts disappeared as I nipped at his bottom lip. He flinched, but a second later he copied, his sharp canines piercing my oversensitive flesh.

I moaned.

I couldn���t take it.

My hands flew up and gripped his shirt. Yanking him toward me, fireworks whizzed in my fingertips; my heart galloped toward exploding with lust. I���d never been so drunk on someone before.

Then I landed flat on my back.

The crack of my skull jangled my teeth. The thick carpet did little to cushion me. My eyes flared wide and I grunted in pain. Fear, hot and terrible, swamped my lust in a dampening wave.

���Top rule. Unbreakable rule. Don���t. Ever. Touch. Me.��� Fox kneeled on one knee beside my head, breathing hard. His hand noosed my throat, pressing my spine into the carpet. His eyes were cold and lifeless, looking like a hunter intent on blood. ���HAZEL

INTERVIEW WITH PEPPER WINTERS

Can you introduce yourself and tell us what kind of books you write?

Sure, my name is Pepper Winters. I speak with an English accent, have been lucky enough to live in a few countries around the world, and love to write dark, twisted love stories while in my PJ���s. I���m married to a French Canadian and have a house rabbit. That���s about it. With regards to my writing, I���ve always loved getting into the heads of people. I love to twist their darkest desire and confront their greatest fear. I find it brings a much deeper story into life. However, I���m about to release a Contemporary Romance that won���t be dark and I���m enjoying writing it immensely.

What inspired you to write the book included in Take Me?

Destroyed was, and still is to this day, the hardest book I���ve had to write. It took a lot out of me. The characters didn���t behave and the plot line went in a completely different direction than the one I intended. I fought it every step���which made it incredibly hard to write. However, the book went on to hit the USA Today Bestseller, Indie Choice, and earned me a publishing deal with Grand Central (Hachette) publishing. So even though it took so much out of me, it gave back so much more.

Who is your favorite character that you���ve written and why?

My favourite character to date. That���s an exceedingly hard question. Mainly because each book I write there is something I love about each character. However, if I have to pick, I���m going to break the rules a little and choose two. Q Mercer from Monsters in the Dark Series will always have a piece of my heart. He���s so damaged but so strong. So twisted but so loyal. I loved getting into his headspace. I���m also falling for Jethro Hawk from the Indebted Series. He has a lot beneath the surface and my heart breaks for him with what he has to deal with.

What is the hardest part of writing for you?

Hardest part is my eyesight currently. Before, I could stare at a screen for 18 hours a day with no problem. Now, I have to wear glasses and they get tired very quickly. I can write very fast when I���m in the zone (up to 13,000 words a day) but unless my eyes are focusing, it���s hard. I���m lucky that I don���t really deal with writer���s block. If I do, I���ll get my notepad and pen out and do some plotting. That always helps get me back on track.

Tell us about your upcoming release!

I have a few coming out. 2015 is going to be my busiest year yet. I have Second Debt (Indebted #3) coming out on the 26th Jan, followed by Third Debt (Indebted #4), Forbidden Flaws (Contemporary Romance), Ruin & Rule (MC Romance 28th July), Fourth Debt (Indebted #5), Je suis a toi (Monsters in the Dark Novella), Final Debt (Indebted #6). Busy year! The Indebted Series are a dark romance dealing with diamonds, debts, and unwavering loyalties.

��

Yes.

I was finally going to find out if it was him. I knew it was. It had to be. Everything that had happened with Trent had been a mistake. Carter was the guy I wanted. He was going to take the memories of Trent away.

���Baby…��� Carter mumbled against my lips, before removing them and pressing his forehead against mine. ���We gotta slow down.���

���No,��� I urged. ���We really don’t.��� I pulled his lips back to mine. ���I want this. I want you,��� I pleaded, hearing the desperation in my voice. I needed to know the truth.

���So do I,��� he assured me before taking a step back. He grabbed my hands and caught his breath. ���Really I do, but I think we should slow down. I don’t want you to do something you’d regret.���

���Never stopped me before,��� I said with a playful wink. I hadn’t let fear or regret stop me in the stairwell. Or in my apartment last night which would have been a good damn time for it to do so.

���Oh, really.��� He chuckled.

���Really.��� I stared up into his eyes waiting for him to just admit that it was him the night of the Gala, but he didn’t. Instead, he pulled me to my feet and wrapped his arms around my waist. His head fell to my shoulder as he tightened his embrace. ���This will happen, Hannah. Just not in my office with the entire staff of my restaurant waiting on the other side of the door. I’ll teach you to be patient, sweetheart,��� he whispered.

Born and raised in the middle of a Midwestern cornfield (not literally, that would be weird), I���ve spent my entire life imagining stories. Stories where the right guy always gets the right girl, first kisses are as magical as they are on the big screen and anything is completely possible if you believe.

Although this journey began years ago, it recently took on a whole new life. After years of devouring hundreds of Romance, YA and New Adult novels, I had an epiphany… I should write a book. And I did it!

If I���m not reading, writing, enjoying drinks with my amazing group of girlfriends or chasing around a sarcastically funny kid, I���m probably watching television shows that were created for teenagers, while my husband teases that I���m too old to watch them.

Monterey and Cassidy Hart��

By Summer Lane��

To write State of Alliance, it was very important that I get some serious firsthand experience of the location that I was writing about. The book begins in Sacramento, eventually taking Cassidy to the coastline. I lived in Sacramento for nine years, so I definitely had a good idea of the geography of the ���City of Trees,��� as it���s called. For Monterey, however, I needed to walk the streets, count the steps, smell the air, see the ocean and feel the temperature. I needed to know what Cassidy would feel here. I needed to take this beautiful little coastal town and turn it into a post-apocalyptic warzone. (Sorry, Monterey. You���re not the first town to fall prey to my storylines!)

I traveled to Monterey in November of 2014 to scope out the area. I visited Fisherman���s Wharf, overlooked the Presidio of Monterey, walked through the halls of the Carmel Mission, strolled down the sidewalks at Cannery Row and dipped my hands into the cold water of the Pacific Ocean in Pacific Grove. I kept track of road names and avenues. I recorded temperatures and studied the bay. Most importantly, I researched the Naval Postgraduate School, where a large portion of Cassidy���s story takes place.

As a writer, I can honestly say that getting out of the office and actually researching a subject or location is one of the most refreshing and inspiring experiences. It gives you a sense of realism that you can translate into your writing. I highly recommend it, and I loved every minute of researching for State of Alliance!

New Adult Romance

*mature themes including explicit sex scenes and profanity*

Third and final novel in the Judge Me Not series/trilogy.

CHASE:

The Las Vegas I know oh-so-well, however, sure isn���t something I���d ever show Kay. She knows my past, most of it, but there���s no need to revisit the pit stops I traveled along the way. If we did, my Vegas tour would be filled with dark alleys, dark apartments, and the darkest of nights. Nights shaded in tones of addiction, sorrow, and despair.

Would I show beautiful, gentle Kay where I used to score coke, coke that would leave my head feeling like it was exploding? Or would I spin her by the old apartment and show her where Will and I spent many a night alone while Mom was off gambling. Hell, I could take her to the convenience store around the corner from that apartment. I could point out the aisle where I once stole a can of Spam. That can of mystery meat provided a makeshift holiday dinner one year when Mom forgot to come home on Christmas Eve.

Would I show Kay that shit? Short answer: No.
