REVIEW TOUR & LIVE LINKS - TARGET ON OUR BACKS BY J.M. DARHOWER


BUY LINKS

BLURB

The best way to keep your word is never to give it.

Not long ago, in a chapel in Vegas, I swore to love Karissa for the rest of my days. But nobody's promised an infinite number of tomorrows. Nobody's promised forever. Sometimes, all we have left is today.

Carpe Diem
Seize the day.

It should've been over, we should've been happy, but people are making it hard for me to live in peace. I've got so much blood on my hands they'll never be clean, and somebody out there seems to want me to pay for it. Happily Ever After always comes at a cost, one any real man would be willing to pay. But that doesn't mean I'm just going to roll over and accept these consequences.

Because when it comes to the woman I love? The life I've fought for?

Nobody is safe.



SHANDA'S 5 STAR REVIEW



Target on Our Backs was a pretty great surprise for 2016. I didn’t think I needed another book about Naz and Karissa. But I was wrong in thinking that; it was great to get back to this couple. I loved the dual POV so we could get in both their heads.

Naz is trying to lead a different life now. He is out, well as out as he can be. Unfortunately certain players don’t want to let Naz completely out of the life. Naz has a target on his back and of course Karissa could get caught in the crosshairs. But Naz hasn’t forgotten how to protect what’s his, and he is determined to eliminate the threat so they can live a somewhat normal life.

Karissa is currently flailing a bit. The one thing she is certain of is her love for Naz. To some extent she is unhappy; she is trying to decide what to major in, and trying to live a normal life. I think she is just a bit lost because she doesn’t know what direction to take her life; her only certainty is that Naz will be in it no matter what. I have to say one of my favorite things about this book was the banter between Naz and Karissa. They were lighter and more at ease with each other. They were playful, funny, and smoking HOT!!

I laughed quite a bit in this one because of you got to see a different side of Naz. Hotline Bling and Naz watching The Godfather were just a few of the funny moments. I really liked his interaction with Lorenzo as well. Lorenzo had me cracking up in most of his scenes.

“I look at him incredulously. "You've got a grenade." A grenade. He's carrying a fucking grenade.”- Naz

"So I've been told," Lorenzo says. “Word around town is you're a bit of a dick-tator.”- Lorenzo to Genova

This is a fabulous read if you are anxious to catch up with this couple and get your Ignazio Vitale fix. This story didn’t have too much in the way of shocking moments but it was still riveting. Naz does pull off a really bad ass moment towards the end and I freaking loved it.

Well Done!!!

IZA'S 5 STAR REVIEW



 "I'll always come for you," I tell her. "The fucking devil himself couldn't stop me."


Kaput. I am ruined. I adored Naz Vitale in book 1 & 2, but he totally blew me away in this one. Yes, he's changed a bit. He's different. He wanted to be better for Karissa. We all know what went down in book 2; there were bound to be some consequences.

Well, the title suggest a far more action-packed plot. My nails suffered because of it.

"Places to go.

People to see.

Blood to spill.

You know how it is."

So many things happen in this one! I loved that we got both characters' POVs. This way, we could be in both of their heads to see what they thought and felt during certain scenes.

"Naz is the kind of guy that, once he walks into your world, he throws it off its axis, so even if he walks back out, nothing spins the same anymore."

He's an absolute fave that will never get taken off my list. Ever. This book is one of the best I've read this year. The way he is with Karissa... And yes, Karissa also rocks. I've liked her from book 1.

"The man is an enigma. A beautiful, sometimes terrifying puzzle that I'm still piecing together, little by little."

Needless to say, I LOVED it! That epilogue, I can't even! J.M. Darhower can really write an anti-hero like no other. 5 stars. It is a book that shall be reread many times. I want to thank the author, from the bottom of my wicked heart, for the copy given in exchange for my honest review.

COVER REVEAL - PORN STAR by LAURELIN PAIGE & SIERRA SIMONE











Title: Porn Star 
Author: Laurelin Paige & Sierra Simone
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Cover Design: Sarah Eirew 
Release Date: March 8, 2016



Blurb

You know me.

Come on, you know you do.

Maybe you pretend you don’t. Maybe you clear your browser history religiously. Maybe you pretend to be aghast whenever someone even mentions the word porn in your presence.

But the truth is that you do know me.

Everybody knows Logan O’Toole, world famous porn star.

Except then Devi Dare pops into my world, and pretty soon I’m doing things that aren’t like me—like texting her with flirty banter and creating an entire web porn series just so I can get to star in her bed. Again. And again.

With Devi, my entire universe shifts, and the more time I spend with her, the more I realize that Logan O’Toole isn’t the guy I thought he was.

So maybe I'm not the guy you thought I was either.

 Release Date: 2016



Blurb

He’s loved me since the day I was born.
He’s taken care of me.
He’s awakened me.

Tor. My father’s best friend. My Godfather.
The one chosen to protect me. The one I should never, ever want.

She’s always loved me.
She’s shattered me.
She’s healed me.

Kenzi. My best friend’s daughter. The little girl that called me Uncle.
She’s forbidden to me. But she gets me.

We’re slowly being torn apart by everything we love.
Everything we want. Everything we desire.

I know it’s wrong.
but I need to make her
mine






Excerpt

Prologue Kenzi one day old, Toren fifteen years old...

“We want you to be her Godfather,” Asher says as he gently lays his newborn baby into my arms. I have to tear my gaze away from her incredible green eyes to look up at him from the chair I'm cradling the baby in.

“Me?” I glance quickly over at Ember in the hospital bed, who beams back at me with a tired, yet genuine smile.

“Yes, you,” they both say at the same time. “If it wasn’t for you, we probably never would have met,” Ember adds, grabbing Asher’s hand. “And we wouldn’t have this beautiful little baby. We know you’ll always protect her.”

“That’s right, man. You’re Uncle Tor now.”

I’m an uncle. And my two best friends are parents. And we’re all fuckin’ under sixteen.

But Kenzi Allyster Valentine would change us all forever. She needed us.

“Wow. I’m honored, guys. No doubt, I’ll always be here for her.”

I kick back the pang that hits my stomach. I didn’t get the girl…but I got something I never expected. A gift in the form of a little tiny hand wrapped tightly around my finger, huge eyes like jade gems staring up into mine like I was the most amazing person in the friggen' world, and the first glimpse of a heart-stopping smile.

That was it.
She owned me.
My niece.
My god-daughter.
The love of my life.

5 STAR REVIEW
 
 
I just love when a finale to a series knocks it out of the park. Dawn of Forever was pretty kickass, and Jessica Day has made it to my badass heroine list.

This book had so much going on, I was glued to the pages, and I couldn’t put it down. You will get more Jessica and Luke and their journey past and present. I will say this, Dr. Jones is just everything, and Jessica is one lucky girl. I love to read about love like this! Ms. Ann does a fantastic job of making you feel that love without coming off as cheesy. There is a scene with Luke that made my eyes leak. Luke is such a put together guy, but getting to see what he held inside after all they had been through made me gasp and cry.

You will get more Jackson and why he feels the way he does about women. I loved Ryn and Jackson’s story. Jackson’s struggle with how to tell Ryn about his past without her running for the hills was fascinating and scary. I could feel how much Jackson wanted things to work, and his determination to tell her even when she didn’t want to know had me on the edge of my seat. Ryn’s fight for herself was pretty amazing too. I loved seeing her finally believing in herself and making hard choices.

This story was so full of twists and turns that I didn’t see coming. Relationships of all kinds were at the heart of this series. Brother and Sisters, lovers and friends, old loves and new loves, this series has connections of all kinds. One pairing in particular that I didn’t see coming has me really excited. I need a book on these two right now and I am excited to learn that it is being written.

I especially loved the conclusion. Jessica/Jillian and Jude/Jackson finally deciding how they wanted to live and what identity they would hold. Letting go of the past and embracing their futures in their own way. Jewel Ann did a beautiful job of tying up everything in the series and giving it resolution. I laughed, cried, swooned, and had several OMG moments. Simply Fantastic!

Excerpt

Tugging off her shirt, she smiled. Gone were the compression bras; she didn’t burn them, but they were hauled off with the trash shortly after the infamous refrigerator sex. Lace, satin, and underwire took their place.
“What you’re doing right now feels more intimate than anything you’ve ever done to me with your mouth.”
“We’ll see about that.” He wet his lips, eyeing her white lace bra. Approval glimmered in his eyes.
She removed the rest of her clothes, eager to be in his arms. He took a step back as she moved toward him.
“Stop.”
She froze. Her hands searched for a place to be: hanging idle at her sides, covering her breasts, shielding her neatly-shaven pussy?
“Repeat after me.”
“What?” Her voice squeaked with disbelief.
He grinned as his ego gobbled up her confidence. “I’m beautiful.”
Ryn squinted.
“Say it.”
She sighed. “I’m beautiful.”
“I’m taking back every bit of confidence that bastard took from me.”
It would never happen like that, but someone who hadn’t been in her shoes could never understand. However, she loved the naked man standing before her for saying it.
“I’m taking back every bit of confidence that bastard took from me.”
“I’m worthy of happiness.”
That one hit harder than it should have. She’d never given happiness much thought.
“Say it.”
“I’m … I’m worthy of happiness.”
“I’m going to marry Jackson Knight and love him in spite of his multiple fucked-up personalities.”
“Jackson—”
“Say it.” His voice carried a rare pain and vulnerability.
“I’m going to marry Jackson Knight…” she stepped closer and rested her hands on his chest “…and I’m going to love Every. Single. One. Of his fucked-up personalities.”
“I’ve had a shit day,” he whispered, brushing his thumb along her cheek. “Until now.”
She nodded slowly, then looked up at him. “I’ve had a shit life … until now.”
“Touch me,” he said.
“Where?”
“Everywhere. Make me feel human again.”
