Blurb:

When Lady Helena Simpson flees an unwanted marriage to a revolting lord, she finds refuge with James, a charming, handsome man unlike any she’s ever known. Helena concocts the perfect solution to her problem. She asks—begs—James to ruin her. Surely her betrothed will repudiate her if she is no longer pure. And if all her efforts fail and she still ends up married to a horrid man until the end of her days, she will at least once have known true passion.

But James is not all he seems. He is, in fact, a wicked lord with a dark fancy. When Helena awakens his desire, he becomes determined to take everything she has to offer and more. No matter the cost.

Read an Excerpt:

James stared at Eloise, brave, proud, innocent Eloise. He could relate to the passion in her plea. He had a sudden desire to be released from a betrothal himself. He fiddled with the corner of his napkin. “There is always the chance your betrothed won’t care if you’re ruined.” Some men did not.

Her lashes fluttered. When they rose again, there was a look in her eye that sent lust coursing down his spine. It settled in his cock. “If I’m to be married to a bilious flounder of a man for the rest of my life, I should like to know passion just once. Just once, James.”

“J-just once?” His voice cracked.

Her smile blossomed. “Perhaps more than once.”

He had to laugh, although this was clearly no laughing matter. “My dear. I would be happy to oblige.”

“Excellent!” She clapped her hands with glee.

Unfortunate, that, because it made her look, once again, like a little girl. But then she picked up her cup and ran her pink tongue around the rim, lapping at the wayward drops. He reached for the second bottle.

She held out her cup for a refill. “You will need to show me what to do.”

He almost forgot to stop pouring. Hell yes. He’d love to show her what to do. He’d love to instruct her—in elaborate detail—what, precisely, to do. Something snarled in his belly.  His palm itched.

He forced down that decadent desire. Chained the beast.

For God’s sake. She was an innocent, a virgin. If he opened with that card, not only would she truly be ruined, she would probably hie off to the nearest nunnery and spend the remainder of her life in seclusion.

Oh, he would bed her. He would despoil and beguile her, but only in the very gentlest of fashions.

But his fantasies, the darkling imagery of what he would truly like to do, simmered.

“Are you…” He cleared his throat. “Are you ready for your bath?”

“Heavens, yes.” Once again, she clapped her hands.

The childlike gesture was off-putting since, at the moment, he was thinking of sinking his cock into her body and swallowing her moans with his mouth. But he liked her enthusiasm. It also made him desire—very deeply—to tie those hands to the bedposts. So she couldn’t clap them.

Why that thought made him salivate, he didn’t know.

Ah hell. Of course he knew.

Despite the lust snarling through him, he managed a modicum of chivalry, although it was perfunctory at best. “I’ll fashion a curtain.”

Her next words nearly unmanned him. “You don’t need to.”

“I b-beg your pardon?”

“You don’t need to bother with a curtain.” For a shy and demure innocent, she had something of a brazen streak. “I mean, if we’re going to…you know…”

“Make love?”

“Yes. If we’re going to make love, you will see me naked anyway.” A frown crossed her brow. “Won’t you?”

He chuckled. “Most certainly.”

Blurb:

Her life had never been a fairy tale. Adopted at birth, Isabella never felt like she fit in. All she ever wanted was a happy family and a love of her own. When she suddenly became a single mother of two, her life changed for the worst until she ran into a handsome stranger.

A billionaire playboy, Gabriel had lived a charmed life. Never one to settle down, he didn’t understand why he was drawn to this woman he knew his father would never accept. Still, one date leads to another and suddenly he had the life he never knew he always wanted.

Together, their life was perfect, until the lies were exposed. Then, their happily ever after couldn’t be further away.

Excerpt:

When Isabella exited the bathroom wearing a robe over her bedclothes, carrying a bottle of lotion, she could see Gabriel was intrigued.

“Aren’t you going to be too warm tonight?” He yanked on her bathrobe tie. “What do you have on under there anyway?” He jokingly tried to peek under the bathrobe.

Feeling daring and sexy, Isabella flashed him, exposing for the briefest of moments her camisole top and matching French cut bikini. “The bathrobe is just until bed,” she explained, wandering over to sit at his side.

“I think I need a longer look,” he murmured lazily against her neck. “I could help you lotion your back.” He slid the bathrobe down until it exposed her shoulder, then he kissed her there, lingering long enough for her to feel his warm breath against her skin. Her stomach fluttered in response.

Isabella’s head tilted to give him further access. Her eyes closed as she savored his kisses and his gentle touch. She barely noticed as he took the lotion bottle from her hands and began to pour some into his hands. Gradually, he pulled the robe further until it had pooled around her bottom on the lounger.

“Wow,” he whispered, as if afraid to break the spell. The warm breath upon her neck made Isabella shiver. “I’m going to lift your top so I can lotion your back.” Slowly, he pulled it up with one hand.

As she listened to Gabriel rub his hands together, she tried to relax. Never before had she ever craved a man’s touch like she did his. Never before had she been so afraid to give in to her desires. Finally, his hands were on her skin, smoothing the lotion into her back. He rubbed up to her shoulders and down her arms. Somehow along the way, he managed to remove her camisole altogether. For some reason, she didn’t object. Every bit of her body ached with need. How would she ever maintain her resolve to wait? Not forever, but a little bit longer. Remember, she reminded herself, he lost interest in all the others once they gave in. I’m not ready to let him go.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ AND SHANNON'S 5 STAR REVIEW: HOLD ON TO ME BY LUCIA FRANCO

John Jackson. 

He’s a sweet talking Georgia boy, rough around the edges with an irresistible smile. John sets his sights on the new girl, determined to show her what his small town is about. But she isn’t as accepting as he thought and she rejects him at every turn.

The beauty and boldness of Alyssa Winters stirs John’s blood. She quickly works her way under his skin and becomes a constant in his life – his best friend, his other half. As the attraction between the two friends grows, John wants more. 

She pushes, he pulls. 

When one reckless night of fun wreaks havoc on John, Alyssa risks it all to ease his pain, giving him the one thing he desires most...her. But John’s sadness runs too deep, the damage, irreparable.

He runs, she falls.

John must work to prove himself. Despite everything, Alyssa is the one person he doesn't want to live without. The stakes are high, and he’s willing to bet it all. Even if it means he’s left to suffer alone.

Shannon’s 5 Star Review:

5 muddy stars

So, in all honesty, I had no clue that this book would draw me so far in I could actually see myself with this group of characters. This book runs the gamut of emotions; from flirty and fun to dark and brooding, from love and hope to heartbreak and tears.  Ms. Franco did not shy away from tearing your heart into for these people. 

Alyssa is the new girl in a small Georgia town.  She’s lived all over the place because her mom won’t grow up and settle down. She’s starting at the new community college soon and knows no one.  Well, that’s until two rambunctious hotties on 4 wheelers stop her in her tracks.

 

John Jackson, true southern boy full of wit, sex appeal, and true alpha male lays eyes on the blonde haired blue eyed beauty from Cali, he’s a goner.  He knew it from the first time she said “I don’t play in mud. I’m not an animal” They two step around each other, flirt with each other, and continue to grow closer.  With just a simple touch or a sexy smile from Johnny she realized what he already knew – she wanted him more than she’s ever wanted anyone else.  The passion that burned between them burned a hot white but what happens when tragedy strikes will they be able to reignite that flame? Will they be able to rekindle their relationship or has stupid mistakes made it unsalvageable?

As I said above, Ms. Franco likes to pull on your heart strings.  She takes us on a journey of young love that is so strong and pure that you have to hope they’re able to overcome their mistakes, that hopefully they’ll learn to live in the present not in the past, and that no matter what obstacles are put in front of you, you follow your heart and learn to let go.  The love in this book just takes my breath away, guys.  There’s no two ways about it.  I fell so hard for John and even Alyssa.  They’re fun, young, beautiful, and in true love.  The supporting cast was without a doubt some of the best I’ve read.  I honestly hope we are able to get more from this group of characters. 

Do myself and yourself a favor; take a few days and read this book.  You deserve to read a book as touching as this one.  I promise, it’s worth it; the pain, the happiness, it’s all worth it.   You’ll see.   

Favorite Quotes:

• “Tell me that I’m wrong. Fight against me. Push and shove and tell me no, that no matter what I do that you’ll be there.”
• “Up here, babe,” John ordered with a snap of his fingers. “Damn, now I kind of know what it feels like when men do that to women for staring at their tits. You just eye-fucked the shit out of me.”
• “I told you, I’m going to do whatever it takes for you to see that I’m not going anywhere,” then he took her mouth in an all possessive, heart stopping kiss.

Lucia's Bio:

Lucia Franco lives in South Florida with her husband and two boys. When she’s not hard at work on her next novel, you can find her relaxing with her toes in the sand at a nearby beach.

COVER REVEAL AND GIVEAWAY: THE SONG OF DAVID BY AMY HARMON

The Song of David

5/18/15

By: Amy Harmon

Available: June 15, 2015

Cover by: Hang Le

Synopsis:

She said I was like a song. Her favorite song. A song isn’t something you can see. It’s something you feel, something you move to, something that disappears after the last note is played.

I won my first fight when I was eleven years old, and I’ve been throwing punches ever since. Fighting is the purest, truest, most elemental thing there is. Some people describe heaven as a sea of unending white. Where choirs sing and loved ones await. But for me, heaven was something else. It sounded like the bell at the beginning of a round, it tasted like adrenaline, it burned like sweat in my eyes and fire in my belly. It looked like the blur of screaming crowds and an opponent who wanted my blood. 

For me, heaven was the octagon.

Until I met Millie, and heaven became something different. I became something different. I knew I loved her when I watched her stand perfectly still in the middle of a crowded room, people swarming, buzzing, slipping around her, her straight dancer’s posture unyielding, her chin high, her hands loose at her sides. No one seemed to see her at all, except for the few who squeezed past her, tossing exasperated looks at her unsmiling face. When they realized she wasn’t normal, they hurried away. Why was it that no one saw her, yet she was the first thing I saw?

If heaven was the octagon, then she was my angel at the center of it all, the girl with the power to take me down and lift me up again. The girl I wanted to fight for, the girl I wanted to claim. The girl who taught me that sometimes the biggest heroes go unsung and the most important battles are the ones we don’t think we can win.

~Mischa~

I made a conscious decision to cheat on my husband.

Now, before you judge me, hear my story. Hear how much I'm like you, how similar my thoughts are to your own. Yes, I'm a horrible person. Yes, I've done horrible things. Yes, I don't deserve forgiveness. Yes, bad things happened because of my actions.

But I'm willing to bet I've done things that maybe, just maybe, you have thought of doing.

Maybe, just maybe, you're not as innocent as you'd like to think.

Or maybe I'm not so guilty ...

WARNING: This book involves CHEATING. The word AFFAIR is in the title. The main character has an AFFAIR. In the synopsis (directly above), she states that she intentionally has an AFFAIR. If you don't like CHEATING, then you have been VERY WELL warned. Also, this book is primarily written in the third-person narrative.

Shannon's 5 Star Review:

Okay, so when Stylo says I'm writing a new book - I jump on it.  When she says I'm writing a book about cheating, I'm like "hell yeah!!". Girl can write a damn good book; whether it's a kinky Satan as in Degradation or a woman who commits to cheating on her husband as in this book, she will draw you in and hold you hostage for the duration of the book. There isn’t anything she will write that I won't read. 

Mischa met and married Mike. They've had a good marriage but sometimes it feels like something is missing.  She knows she loves Mike and he loves her but it's not a make your panties wet love.  It's more of a "hey roomie, how was your day" kind of love. She needed more, wanted more, and was going to make sure she got more. The company she works for is sending her overseas to open a new branch and it's this new journey that helps her make that questionable decision. 

Tal is all alpha male. Tall, dark, and sexy he knows what a woman wants. He also knows a lonely woman when he sees one. Sitting in a restaurant he watches as a beautiful woman tries to get rid of the guy hitting on her, seeing his chance to meet her and maybe take care of that loneliness she's exuding; he comes to her rescue and forces the other guy to walk away. Mischa is taken aback although very intrigued by the sex on legs that just swooped in to take care of her. He tell her he knows what she wants and he's the one to give it to her. And boy does he ever!!!

The sexual tension, as is the sex, is off the charts. She hasn't felt that way since......ever, she's never felt that with Mike. She made the conscious decision to cheat on her husband but when it came down to the morning after she couldn't believe she actually did it and couldn't stand to look at herself. But she couldn't stay away and Tal couldn't just let her walk away. He pursued her relentlessly and wouldn't give up.  He wouldn't allow her talk herself out of the feelings and needs she desired with him. He kept that sexual awareness right there at the forefront of their time together, which made her see exactly what had been missing from her life.

When Mike decides he wants to visit Mischa she knows she has to tell him. She's afraid of hurting him and breaking his heart but she just isn't in love with him anymore and after what Tal's showed her, she knows she doesn't want her husband sexually any longer. But yet, as much as she's enjoyed her time with Tal she can't help but feel he's hiding things from her, she's not sure what he's hiding but she knows he is. 

What happens to Mike and Mischa once she comes clean about her affair? Will he forgive her and try to make her see the error of her ways or will he just walk away without putting up a fight? When Tal's secrets are revealed will Mischa hate herself even more for what she's done, hate him for what he made her feel or will she fight to make an honest relationship out of her affair?

I loved this book. I loved how Stylo actually put on paper what a lot of women feel. I messaged her immediately after starting the book and asked her how in the hell she did that. She is an incredible writer and I am so honored to have beta read this for her. I can't wait to see what else she comes up with; it's bound to be mind blowing. 

Jessica's 4 Star Review:

4 Stars……Amazingly Bittersweet!!!!

“Tell me right now that this doesn’t feel real to you. Tell me right now that you’re not feeling the same way as me, and I’ll walk out that door.”

As if the title wasn’t enough, the synopsis confirms this is a story about cheating and for most people even myself that can be a deal breaker, I went against my personal beliefs and gave it a chance and I’m so glad I did. Let’s be clear I do not condone infidelity in any capacity but that being said I found myself wanting to make an exception for Mischa.  Ms. Fantome took a controversial topic and wove it into such a heart wrenching but at the same time such a beautiful love story. The care and concern for all the characters involved jumped off the pages at you in each chapter and drew me in to the point that I couldn’t put it down. This was not a smutty novel about a taboo affair it dealt with very real emotions and consequences for your actions it was well written with class and never cheapened the love felt by any party involved.

My heart bled for Mischa even though she was suffering a torment of her own creation you can’t help but sympathize with her. She shows such remorse and self-loathing that you immediately know this was not an act of selfishness on her part, she was not out to maliciously hurt Michael. She wanted to punish and condemn herself for her actions simply because she knew she had wronged her husband again I was shocked at how much I could empathize with her character.

“You do that like it’s your sport in the Olympics”

Tal found a way to swagger straight into my heart. In the beginning I didn’t really connect with him I felt as if he was a womanizer just out for the easy target, then much like his and Mischa’s relationship before I knew it a real bond had formed. He is a man of mystery thru most of the book but it becomes more and more clear that he really cares for Mischa. He is strong when she needs him to be and he always knows exactly what she needs before she does. Falling in love with a girl you meet in a café was never in the plan but sometimes you just have to deviate from your plans and go with what life throws at you.

“I could never stand by and just watch you hurt. It kills me.”

Destiny is inevitable and so are Tal and Mischa they just found each other at the worst time. Fate always has a way of working things out and in this book your get to experience their fate in a very real way. Written in single person point of view but infusing bits and pieces from other characters to allow you to “feel” them as well so much so that I would love to see a spin off with some of the

secondary characters.

Crazy woman living in an undisclosed location in Alaska (where the need for a creative mind is a necessity!), I have been writing since ..., forever? Yeah, that sounds about right.

Blurb:

**Coming February 2015**

A night of passion. A raging fire. A home destroyed.

The sun returned and Joey and Marti felt they had turned a corner in their relationship. Only when they turned that corner, they ran right into the insurance adjustor, Finn. She wasn't just any woman, though. She was the one woman Joey always believed he’d spend the rest of his life with, but they couldn’t make it work. Soon it was obvious that she didn’t just want to adjust the value of the house, but remind Joey of the value of their relationship, and adjust his attitude about the future.

Suddenly, Joey struggles to choose between two women…one who has never and would never hurt him and one his heart can’t let go of despite the hurt. He’s not the only one with a choice to make. Never again will Marti allow anyone to make her question her own worth. 

A tempest brewed. A man is torn. A woman refuses to wait.

Excerpt:

This time, when Joe watched Marti walk away, it wasn’t the same.  Instead of the semi he was used to getting from seeing the sway of her hips, this time, he felt completely bereft.  It was as though where there was once a bridge, he now faced a giant gorge.  He stood alone on the precipice, balancing precariously.  His outcome didn’t look good.  All he could do was stand there and wonder how he could fix it, if he should even try.  Fucking Finn.  Every time.  

Why had he said those things?  Why hadn’t he just admitted he wanted to stay with Marti?  He surely wouldn’t be welcome there now.  He looked up after kicking some loose dirt around with his boot.  Finn stood there, smirking at him.  It was her Cheshire cat grin.  He had always hated it, this proof she knew his secrets, knew his heart.  In this case, the secret was he had betrayed the woman who would never have betrayed him, a woman whose motives were as pure as her love.  Somehow, it made him feel worse than anything had before.

Unfortunately, sometimes when he felt this badly, instead of fixing things, instead of facing the wrong he had done, he had this horrible habit of making everything even worse.  Historically speaking, that was how it always went with Finn.  Suddenly, he could see himself falling down the rabbit hole.  It was already happening.  Now he had to just ride it out.  Working on Marti’s house on Monday morning was going to be awkward.

“I’ll see myself out,” Finn said, smartly.  Without waiting for an invitation, she walked over and grabbed a cupcake from the box.  It was the Triple Chocolate Threat, his favorite.  She knew it.  Facing him, she took a big bite out of it and chewed it meaningfully.  The message was clear.  She could take what she wanted, do what she wanted, and he wouldn’t stop her.
