Taryn Cummings could not believe she was accepted into the prestigious International Institute of Culinary Arts culinary institute she dreamed of studying at in beautiful Paris, France. It was a far cry from her unglamorous life back home in New York where she helped her mother run their small family-owned restaurant called Sam's. The International Institute of Culinary Arts churned out the top chefs in the world, including the wildly sexy and eccentric Master Chef Errol King, whose celebrity personality was larger than life.

She wanted excitement in a city of romance and thrills, but arrived to find her apartment barely livable and herself in need of a suitable place to stay. A chance meeting at the Institute brings her face-to-face with her new roommate...the devilishly charming Errol King, who would be guest teaching her class this term.

The attraction is as hot as the fire they cook with, and while Errol King, the notorious bad boy chef with an attitude, can get anyone he wanted into his bed, he wanted this woman more than anything. Something about her sweet innocence and sad eyes reach into his harden heart, but is it enough for him to forget his past?

Savor Me is Book 2 of the steamy erotic Master Chefs Series continues culinary student Taryn Cummings' and Master Chef Errol King's forbidden relationship that challenges and shakes both to the edge of all they've known. Could love exist after pain?

Review and Giveaway: Block 24 by Evan Tyler

Block 24 by Evan Tyler

A re-emergence of the past…

Natalie Clarke might be spiteful at best and vicious at worst, but was that reason enough for Phillip Gise to leave her lonely and diseased? Fortunately, she has a set of devious plans that just might keep her busy enough to forget her present situation.

Guy Lewis has played Best Friend Extraordinaire to Natalie since grade school, supporting her through all of her daily drama. This time around, Guy runs into his own troubles when his fierce, wealthy manager gives him the type of attention he never asked for…or expected.

Julia Clarke, Natalie’s younger sister, has arrived in Brooklyn to uncover their grandmother’s secret life in Block 24, the site of Auschwitz’s little-known brothel. What Julia discovers proves more relevant in the present age than ever before.

Both heady and sobering, Block 24 is a look at the ways evil from the past can so insidiously visit the present.

Jennifer's Review

I was given a copy of this book in exchange of an honest review. I am ecstatic that I was giving this opportunity. I was engrossed in this book I didn't want it to end. It's such a fascinating, heart stopping, heart breaking, make you stop breathing and hold your breath story that everyone must read.

The author does an AMAZING job intertwining the stories of two sisters, Natalie and Julia and Adina and Avigail. The story starts with Natalie and her perfect world. She has the perfect looks, her dream job, and the GQ boyfriend. But her relationship with her sister Julia is strained and they rarely speak. At the surface everything in Natalie's life is perfect until you start to dig deeper. She knows how to get what she wants and she will do it any way she can. Will it end up costing her friendships and loved ones in the end?

Julia is the sweet and innocent one. She is quiet but has that all American beauty look to her. That is part of Natalie's problem with her sister. For a project, she decides to record an interview with her grandmother Adina. What she gets is an amazing story of loss, strength, love, and heartbreak and you can survive hell and continue to lead a full life.

Adina and Avigials story starts in Polland during World War II. They are ripped from their families as the SS come in and destroy their lives. Adina and Avigial are separated from their mother and sent to Aushcwitz, a Nazi prison camp where they met and they both fall in love with a SS soldier named Hans. This part of the story is where I felt the writer's strength was. The depth of the emotions and heartbreak I felt for the two sisters was beyond gut wrenching. At the time, the sisters are only 18 and 14 and forced into the prostitution. It's so sad to hear Adina's story but then I admire her for the strength to get through it and be strong for her sister. Hans is their guardian angel as he watches over them to ensure they are treating better than other prisoners of war. He falls in love with one of the sisters as well and they make plans for an escape so they can live their lives together outside of the prison camp. Will they have the love to survive or will the casualties of war catch up to them??

I warn you this is not your regular love story, it heartbreaking but at the same time it's a story of survival. I would highly recommend this book and hope the story of Natalie and Julia continue as I believe there is much more to tell. If there were more than 5 stars available I would give it as this book deserves it!!

Review: Damaged 2 by H.M. Ward

Release date: Monday, June 24

Blurb:

RELEASE DATE: JUNE 24, 2013

The steamy conclusion to the New York Times bestselling and #1 Amazon bestseller New Adult novel DAMAGED by H.M. Ward.

Home isn't supposed to be dangerous, but for Sidney it is. Returning home means that she has to face her past. It's not just the man who hurt Sidney that makes it horrible, but the family that didn't believe her. They were dead to her, but now that her mom is really dying things seem different. It's a chance to set things right.

What Sidney doesn't realize is that she's dragging Peter into a collision course with his past. Peter must deal with the demons haunting him if he wants to move forward with Sidney. He's willing to give up everything for her, even wade deeper into his past life to help her move forward. But, Peter isn't sure if he can get over what happened to him in New York.

Genre: New Adult Romance
Length: Novel, 324 pgs
Sequel to the NYT and USA Today Bestseller DAMAGED

Julie says:

Damaged 2 picks up right where Damaged left off.  I was really impressed at how well this was written in compared to the first one. 

As Peter says, “I’ll help you through whatever lies ahead.”

And he delivers.  He and Sidney embark on a road trip so she can return home and face her past.  It’s not easy and she finds out his secrets along the way.  She has to decide whether she can trust him or move on without him in her life.  But, she knows that “he makes me want things I never wanted”.  So, will she fight for what she wants?

                           “You know who I am better than anyone else.” - Peter

Throughout their trip, they fight, laugh, and learn all about each other.  With the presence of an innocent passenger, their trip is anything but boring.   Sidney struggles with her feelings, knowing she may end up damaged, again, in the end.

                            “Up until I met you I thought I was broken.” – Sidney

As they arrive at their destination, Sidney finds herself in danger and Peter will stop at nothing to save her, involving someone from his past, who he is trying to cope with as well.  Through trying to save Sidney, he tries to find himself as well, and learns more about himself than he realizes.

“We don’t really forget what happened, but we accept it and learn to live with it.” – Peter

I thought this was a great story.  It shows two people who realize they are better together than without each other.  I have never laughed so hard as I did at their constant bickering and their passenger, who I cannot wait for you to meet.  It was a great addition to their story.  If you want a really great sequel, you will definitely not be disappointed.  I would give this a 5 star rating because it is just as good as the first, if not better!!

Coming July 2013

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 that his heart can’t let go 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.

Seventeen-year-old Evan O’Fion has it all: excellent grades, shining extracurriculars, and a loving family that wants nothing but the best for her. The problem is, something is missing. For as long as she can remember, there’s been a hole inside of her that she can’t quite fill, not with drugs, or drinking, or mosh pits. It’s a hole too deep to fix and it’s slowly consuming her.

When a terrible tragedy rips away everything she’s known, Evan is sure she’s going to lose it. Then a mysterious package arrives and it changes everything. After a lifetime of feeling powerless, Evan is now the keeper of a power greater than she could have ever imagined and it scares the hell out of her. It also has her questioning everything she thought she knew about her parents and her past. On top of it all she has to face a new town, new home, new school, and a sexy dangerous guy…or two.

Dealing has never been her strong suit, but Evan is up for the challenge; especially when her life and her newfound power are on the line. How she’s going to handle it all and come out alive, she has no idea; but she’s stronger than ever and she’s not going down without a fight.
