One lie. One act of revenge. One obsessive love. I was only fifteen when I sent the love of my life to prison for a crime he didn’t commit. Rafe Mason, rising MMA star, my brother’s best friend, and the guy my foolish heart yearned for. The guy my foolish heart won’t forget even now that eight years have gone by. But now he’s free and only wants one thing: me at his mercy. And I am. I’m a prisoner on his island, held captive by his deviant desires, bound by his justified fury. Even worse, I’m a hostage of my own treacherous heart. But the lie I told eight years ago is ricocheting, destroying lives and altering the course of fate. Neither of us saw it coming. The violence and death. The betrayal. The utter destruction that leaves us in ruins. How can a single lie cause so much devastation? Redemption seems impossible because neither of us can undo what’s been done. I belong to him as much as he belongs to me, and we’ll fight for each other or go down in flames trying. Includes Torrent, Rampant, Fervent, and Vagrant. Intended for mature readers who enjoy a dark romance with a lot of suspense, disturbing themes, and a HEA. Not for the faint of heart. You’ve
been warned.

About DARE ME:
Five coworkers. Four drinks. Three glances. Two fleeting smiles. One dare. A dare that will change my life. That’s all it takes to send me plummeting into the arms of the mysterious Holt Hamilton. Behind his crystal blue eyes is a secret, one that screams danger but calls to me anyway. My name is Saige Phillips. I never walk away from a dare.  


  Dare ME - full cover wrap 
  EXCERPT:
“I was watching you, Saige. I enjoy watching you.” Maybe that was bold of me, but I don’t care. She audibly gasps, her chest rising and falling with each quick breath she takes. I fix my eyes on hers and continue. “And I saw you watching me.” Her upper lip twitches as she thinks of a sarcastic comeback. I can see the vein in her neck throbbing, along with the beat of her pulse before she finally whispers, “We shouldn’t do this.” She pulls a green olive off the toothpick floating in her martini, then she pops it into her mouth. The green olive matches her eyes perfectly. I watch her shift uncomfortably in her chair for a few seconds before I respond. “Why not?” “Because you’re my boss.” So naïve, sweet little Saige is. “I’m actually not,” I tell her. She frowns. “You own the company I work for, same thing.” I clarify, “I’m part owner of the company you work for.” She sighs. “Holt, this is just drinks. That’s all.” But her eyes tell me she wants more. I lean closer to her.
“It’s never just drinks, Saige.”

Synopsis
Damon Atwood was Hollywood’s golden boy. Having won an Oscar at the tender age of thirteen, he had the life many could only dream about. But his success came at a price, and after a short but fruitful film career, he chose to live a life of obscurity on a remote Scottish island. Thirteen years later he’s finally ready to make his return, starting with a lead role in a musical on London’s West End.
As a choreographer’s assistant, Rose Taylor has always faded into the background. She watches shows come to life from the side lines, but has never craved the attention of stardom. When rumours begin circulating of Damon’s involvement in her latest gig, she doesn’t predict how she will be thrust into the limelight, nor how the mysterious and strangely introverted man will need her to teach him how to be a star again.
Rose knows that show crushes don’t last. Actors fall for each other during the intensity of a production, often losing themselves in their roles. These kinds of affairs burn bright and then they fade. The question is, should Rose let herself shine with Damon, or guard her heart from being broken after the final curtain call?

RELEASE BLITZ + REVIEW - AN ACT OF SALVATION by K.C. Lynn


Title: An Act of Salvation (Acts of Honor Series #2)
Author: KC Lynn
Release Date: January 27 2016

Purchase Links
Amazon US  |  Amazon UK  |  Amazon CA  |  


TBR Link: Goodreads




Synopsis

Sometimes two broken pieces make a whole.

He’s the one she’s always loved.

She’s the one he could never have.

A forbidden night of passion resulted in years of heartbreak when he walked away. Now she’s in danger and needs his help. 

Trust doesn’t come easy for FBI Agent Nick Stone, especially when it comes to love, but he’ll risk it all for Katelyn Slade. 

Including his heart. 

Bullets fly, betrayals are exposed, and the flames from their past ignite.

His protection might be what saves her but in the end she will be his salvation.

This is Book two in the Acts Of Honor series, the spin-off series to Men Of Honor. It’s Nick and Katelyn’s story and is told in dual POV, has an HEA with no cliffhanger and it can be read as a standalone. However, I highly recommend that you read the Men Of Honor series prior, as characters play recurring roles in both series.




Excerpt

He begins moving inside of me with slow, exquisite strokes, his eyes never leaving mine. He looks at me in a way I’ve longed to have someone look at me my whole life. Like I matter, like I’m important…like I am more. When it’s time for him to go back this is what I’ll remember. This is what I’ll keep close to me on the nights I ache for him, to remember that someone looked at me like this once. Even if I don’t get it for a lifetime, it’s better than not getting it at all.

Just like the man himself.

Reaching up, I cup his strong, stubbly jaw. He encircles my wrist and kisses the inside of it, right over my tattoo.

No words needed.

As more tears begin to fall he leans down and catches them with his lips. “Feel me, Kate. Feel nothing but me.”

“I do. You’re all I feel.”

“Just us,” he whispers.

“Just us.”

4 STARS

I haven’t read a K.C. Lynn book in a while. I read all the Men of Honor books but it’s taken me a while to get back K.C.’s alpha world. If you are like me and love a good second chance love story An Act of Salvation will probably do the trick.

Katelyn and Kolan grew up in Montana and became friends with Nick Stone. Nick and Kolan are best friends that have a falling out due to issues with Katelyn, as well as Kolan spiraling out of control. Nick leaves to join the FBI, leaves Katelyn with a broken heart, and Kolan angry. The brother and sister soon move to Charleston to start a new life. Kolan has made a career in fighting and Katelyn is doing well with her salon. Things take a turn when Kolan is accused of rape and goes on the run. She believes in her brother and turns to Nick to help her find Kolan before things get worse.

I really liked Katelyn she was sassy and feisty. The chemistry between her and Nick is still strong because feelings don’t die that easily and things were never resolved. So on top of trying to find Kolan they are dealing with old hurts and their attraction. Nick has major commitment issues stemming from his abandonment as a child. Katelyn knows being with him is going to end up hurting her but she wants to fight for him.

The story had a ton of smoking hot sex scenes, bullets, car chases, and some tears. I especially choked up over the letter! You will have to read to find out but it was really emotional. My only frustrations were the phrase “you are more” it kind of grated on me after a while. And Nick was so freaking stubborn I wanted to punch him.

I can’t wait for Kolan’s book I am really intrigued by him and his story. Well Done!

4.5 stars
So I have been pretty excited for the Sinner’s Next Generation series. I am so happy to say it didn’t disappoint me. It was pretty great to re-visit the original crew while getting to know the new ones.

This is the story of Jackson and Serenity’s little girl Ava. Ava is working and has her own place and is trying to get some independence. As you can imagine she feels a little suffocated by her dad and the family even though she loves them. We get lots of great scenes with the entire sinner’s family and I especially love Addi, that girl is still a riot. Lucas Black is a cop that comes across Ava after she is hurt and terrorized by her dad’s enemies. Lucas has a really heartbreaking past. I was really surprised at how much this story made me tear up. The chemistry between Ava and Lucas was hot. They have a slight age gap and the forbidden cop versus biker’s daughter was a nice twist. While the connection between them was hot I think needed a little more time with them as a couple.

That being said for the most part I think Ms. Jewel did a great job with the pacing, backstory, and feel of the story. I noticed her posting about how this took her a few months to write versus her month. Ms. Jewel, if this is the result please keeps doing this. I am a longtime fan but I have felt some books were too rushed. It was very noticeable that she took time with this book and I loved that. This was a great story about finding love when you aren’t looking for it and healing from trauma and loss.

I am beyond excited to get Diesel and Mercy’s (at least I hope that’s happening) book. I loved Diesel’s dad so I am really hoping for some good stuff with his book. Well done Bella Jewel.

Reviews Tempting Boundaries + Forever Ink + Hidden Ink by Carrie Ann Ryan





Title: Tempting Boundaries
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Series: Montgomery Ink
Release Date: December 9th 2014


Synopsis

Decker Kendrick knows it’s wrong to have feelings for his best friend’s little sister, but that doesn’t stop his thoughts from going down that path. No matter how hard he’s tried to stay away from Miranda, once she gets her sights on him, there’s no backing down.

Miranda Montgomery might be the youngest of the Montgomery clan, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t know what she wants. Namely—Decker. She’s loved him for as long as she can remember and won’t walk away until she gives it her all.

But once they give in, not all is at it seems. Decker’s father’s out of jail and someone from Miranda’s past isn’t happy with the new relationship. Even as they start to move on and overcome their pain, they’ll find that their inner obstacles are the ones they’ll have to face first.

Review by Iza

I liked this more than the first; the story line flowed easier and it didn't feel like it was crammed with too many things.

Decker and Miranda's story was bound to be good and it didn't disappoint, though there were chapters that were not about them but still kinda important to the story line.

This is the second time I've read it and I have a feeling I'll reread it again because I really like Miranda and though Decker managed to piss me off a time or two, he wormed himself into my heart and I would never say no to a Decker. Plus, he's bearded. I mean, really.

I'm dying to read about Maya and her hero! *fingers crossed it is Jake*

4 1/2 stars and I recommend it. The scenes were kinky and hot and I just love a man that knows when to grovel.
  



 Title: Forever Ink
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
 Series: Montgomery Ink
 Release Date: March 24th 2015


Synopsis

Callie Masters loves ink. After finally getting her own chair in Montgomery Ink, she’s ready to start being a full time artist, rather than only an apprentice. When Austin, her former boss, gives her one very broody man as her first client, she jumps at the chance to make him hers—in and out of the shop.

Morgan McAllister is old money, old connections, and recently has been feeling just old. When he goes in to get his full back piece done after years of putting it off, the bright-eyed woman with the sly smile catches his eye. Between her age, attitude, and views on life, he knows she’s all wrong for him, but that doesn’t mean she’ll keep out of his thoughts.

When life throws them together after a few close calls, Morgan and Callie will have to trust in themselves and what their relationship will mean. Between conniving family members, blondes with too much time on their hands, and their own misgivings, trust in the bedroom and out of it won’t come easy.

Review by Iza

"She was Callie Masters. Kickass tattoo artist."
 
I'm starting to get the hang of this series and enjoy it!

I've read the first two - enjoyed the first, really liked the second - and this one's just as good.

Older hero + younger heroine = happy me. Really, I love me some older sexy beast of a man.

And Morgan is just that. He's rich, successful and he's a Dom in the bedroom. Callie is young, wild and free and she's a tattoo artist, so not what Morgan should be looking for!

But opposites attract and what society thinks - Morgan's mom is a major hag - doesn't matter. These two are insanely hot together and, while it's a novella, it was still good and still had some feels to it.

I am looking forward to reading more. 4 stars.

***Copy provided by author in exchange of honest review. Thank you***
 
 
  



Title: Hidden Ink
Author: Carrie Ann Ryan
Series: Montgomery Ink
 Release Date: January 12th 2016


Synopsis
 
The Montgomery Ink series continues with the long-awaited romance between the café owner next door and the tattoo artist who's loved her from afar.

Hailey Monroe knows the world isn't always fair, but she's picked herself up from the ashes once before and if she needs to, she'll do it again. It's been years since she first spotted the tattoo artist with a scowl that made her heart skip a beat, but now she's finally gained the courage to approach him. Only it won't be about what their future could bring, but how to finish healing the scars from her past.

Sloane Gordon lived through the worst kinds of hell yet the temptation next door sends him to another level. He's kept his distance because he knows what kind of man he is versus what kind of man Hailey needs. When she comes to him with a proposition that sends his mind whirling and his soul shattering, he'll do everything in his power to protect the woman he cares for and the secrets he's been forced to keep.

Review by Iza

I'll keep it short and spoiler free.

I really like this series, it gets better and better with each book. I enjoyed each of them, so far. Some more than others. That having been said, I feel these two deserved a novel of their own. Things felt a bit rushed, not as expanded as they could have been and boy, would it have been awesome then!

They both have secrets, they're both broken. I feel that you can't just tell a story for these two awesome characters in just a novella, so I do hope we'll get more on them.

Yes, I liked it but I wanted to love it.

3.5 stars. I want to thank the author for the copy given in exchange for an honest review.  




Author Bio


New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.
