Rule Breaker by Lily Harlem
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

I was lucky enough to have won a paperback copy of this book from the author and as soon as I got it I just couldn't put it down. The attraction between Miller and Lacey was intoxicating and the idea of being with a dangerous man was all out exciting.
Lots of great plot twists and the sex scenes were explosive!!! Fast paced story full of drama and passion with a great ending.
Will be looking to read more stories from this great author in the future.

First Touch by Laurelin Paige
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

* I was given an Arc from Netgalley for an honest review*

First book that i've ever read by Laurelin Paige and now i'm hooked and reeled in.
This book at times didn't make real sense to me but something about it, maybe it's the darkness that draws you into it kept me reading.
Reeve and Emily are very complex characters and during reading they drove me nuts with all bickering that goes on between them which is in fact strange as Emily really is supposed to want and need to submit to him in all things. I also read this book not realising that this is a two book series so as I approached the end I was like WTF just happened!! Massive cliffhanger and a emotional fallout that's what but on the whole I did enjoy this book but now i'm left in agony waiting to see what happens next.

The Christmas Wager by Delilah Marvelle
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

*Arc received from Netgalley for an honest review*

This book is the first I have ever read by Deliah Marvelle and as an historical lover I was not disappointed in this wonderful story. Its about Felicity who was abandoned as baby at an orphanage not ever knowing who her mother was and her only clue is a key that was left behind for her, and why she was placed there until her very rich uncle comes to claim her. By now she is almost a grown young woman and as she is about leave her friend who has the gift to predict the future tells her that a Duke and a ruby ring will be the path to her future happiness.
Felicity tries to follow her friends advise hoping that one day she will marry a Duke until she meets the handsome American gentleman next door Maxwell, who becomes her friend and her enemy all in one night.
The story takes many twists and turns over a span of a few years and comes to a ending with a lovely HEA. I absolutely loved this book and would read it anytime of year not just as a Christmas romance.

Title: Recoil, Book One

Release Date:  January 19, 2016

Publisher: Mad for Romance Publishing

Cover Designer: Shari Ryan, MadHat Covers

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Editor: Candice Royer

Reluctant step-siblings Julia and Colin meet for the first time at an engagement party for their parents, and dislike each other on sight despite their undeniable physical chemistry. They soon find they have a common interest, though – stopping the inappropriate and hasty marriage of her mother to his father.

When they discover that the recent death of her father might have had something to do with his father’s business, the common interest turns them into allies. But what will they do about their own sizzling chemistry?

Recoil, Book One is the first novella in a serialized trilogy. Books Two and Three will be released quickly, but I couldn’t wait any longer to bring you the first part of the story.

She probably got him to propose by twining him around her elegant, slender finger and then refusing his advances without a ring on it. Nothing I said had swayed him. He was hell-bent on marrying her, and not only that, but marrying her in indecent haste. In a few moments, I'd be expected to join him, his fiancée, and her daughter at the head table as Dad made his announcement of their engagement. 

As the moment approached, I spent more time trying to read the daughter's body language from across the room. She seemed to have a chip on her shoulder about something. Her pose was all fire compared to her mother's ice, though. When Dad said something to her, she retorted with enough heat to make him flinch back. What was her problem? She'd probably end up with a windfall of a couple of billion dollars when her mom wore my poor dad down, and he died begging for a quickie. 

The daughter wasn't my type, but I could imagine she'd be a spitfire in bed. I'd soon have her tamed, though, by wrapping my fingers in that long hair and riding her like...

Well, that line of thought had to stop. In moments, I'd be forced to walk across the room with everyone's eyes on me. Doing that while sporting a massive erection was not my idea of fun.

Like you, I’m a reader. When I read a good story with characters I can connect with, my everyday existence fades into the background as I enter a world that may contain exotic locations, adventure and excitement. And, if I can be totally honest with you, in my favorite stories I can fall in love for a while with an impossibly gorgeous guy who is the best lover imaginable.

So, maybe it won’t come as a surprise that in my books you’ll find hot alpha male book-boyfriends, sassy heroines who are much more clever and beautiful than I am, and stories I hope will make you laugh and cry while reading them, as I did while writing them. Oh, and some scenes you may want to role-play with your lover.

When I’m not writing (which is almost never) I enjoy reading, hiking in the foothills near Denver, live blues music, karaoke and now and then indulging in her karaoke habit.

Title: Penalty Clause

Series: Risqué Contracts #1

Author: Fiona Davenport

Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance

 Release Date: January 18, 2016

Blurb

Caleb Sterling has found the woman for him. He'll do whatever it takes to make her his... even if it means forcing her to spend time with him. He didn’t become a billionaire without learning how to leverage a contract to his advantage. Now that he’s gotten her to sign on the dotted line, he almost has Madeleine Connelly right where he wants her—in his bed and pregnant with his baby.

Madeleine seriously underestimated Caleb’s desire for her. She thought the notorious playboy would move onto his next conquest after he’d gotten what he wanted from her. When she accepted a business deal with his company, she didn’t realize it meant spending so much time with him. Now she has to decide if she wants to trigger the penalty clause in their contract so she can get away from him or succumb to the temptation that is Caleb Sterling.

This is the first novella in the Risqué Contracts series, but each story can be read as a standalone and features a different couple.

Sydney West enjoys sampling summer boys, but this year, one refuses to be a one-night stand…

Twenty-one-year-old Sydney doesn’t believe in relationships. Her parents’ toxic divorce has taught her love is nothing but a sinister fairytale. So every summer she parties, hooks up, abandons her lover before dawn, and repeats.

That is until she meets gorgeous local surfer Jason King at the beach…

When Jason fails to flirt—or even give her a second glance—she decides something must be wrong with him, and it’s safer to stay away. But when Sydney and Jason’s best friends hook up and become Malibu’s hottest couple, they are forced to spend more time together than either of them cares for.

Armed with a sharp tongue, Sydney works to keep Jason at bay…

In a moment of weakness, Sydney lets her guard down and confides in Jason, realizing he’s more than just a hot guy—he’s also a friend. And when Sydney’s need for a summer boy results in her falling into bed with Jason, despite her better judgment, she runs away from him by morning.

The problem is, he won’t accept being another one-night stand, and will do anything to prove…

Love really does exist.

Excerpt One:

The thrill of the game winded down. People broke away in groups of two and three. I wanted to call it a night and see if any beer was left.

“I challenge you, Sydney, to a game of Truth or Dare,” Jason declared.

I sunk into the sofa and glared at him with my mouth agape. “Are you serious?”

Of course now is when he decides to say my name correctly.

He nodded, flashing a wicked grin.

I swallowed. My throat was too dry. I didn’t want to play. I didn’t want to admit truths to a bunch of weirdos. I guess most were drunk, so they wouldn’t remember, but it was the principle of the thing.

“Do you accept?” a boy wearing black jeans and no shirt asked.

The pressure of everyone’s eyes on me was too much. I sighed. “I guess.”

“Good. We got another game, people!” the boy shouted with excitement.

Excerpt Two:

“I can show you some tips. Been surfing all my life,” he said proudly.

“Yes,” Amelia said excitedly, dragging the poor boy to the ocean.

Rolling my eyes, I turned toward the other boy. He was tall, but not über tall, like the other guy. His muscles moved like liquid as he approached me. I had the urge to touch his abs and see if they were as firm as they appeared. His hair was tussled and golden brown, as if sun kissed. His board was a light blue with black stripes. It was a good brand, but a basic print.

“Do you need surfing lessons too or are you here in support?” the boy asked me. His silver eyes mirrored the moon, sending shivers down my shine.

“Umm…I was wanting to be surfing…”

What the hell did I just say?

His eyes sparkled with laughter, but he didn’t mock me. “I can teach you some tricks if you want.”

I looked at him closer. My stomach fell to the sand. He was the guy I bumped into at that club and he didn’t bother giving me a second look. He kept walking as if I was just another body in the crowd, no one worthy of his attention.

“Were you at Club Purple last night?” I asked.

He tilted his head. “Yes, how did you know?”

“I ran into you and we kept going the same way and then—”

“Oh, right,” he said, nodding as if it all made sense.

Excerpt Three:

“Wait,” he pulled away from me so he could look me square in the eye, “Who said anything about having sex?”

“It’s fine. I know the unspoken rule. The guy is all sweet and cooks for the girl and she gives him entry into her.”

He closed his eyes and ran a hand through his hair. His words were jumbled together as he muttered to himself. I stared at him, wondering why he was upset.

“Damn it, Sydney! Why do you chalk every damn thing up to sex? Life isn’t all about fucking. Sometimes people are just being nice. I didn’t expect anything from you tonight.”

“I assumed…” I mumbled, tucking a strand of hair behind my ear.

“Don’t…at least not with me. Last time was a mistake—”

I fought back my tears. “I didn’t know…I mean I’m sorry I didn’t please you.”

“No, you did.” He leaned in close, brushing the back of his hand down my cheek. “Listen to me. It was too fast. I got caught up in the heat of the moment. You’re a sexy woman and I loved what we did, but usually I wait until the third date before sleeping with a girl.”

Out of habit, I put space between us, enough room for another person to sit in-between. “Why wait?” It was a foreign concept to me.

He stood and paced the length of the couch. “I wait to see if I like the person. Get to know her, see if I can imagine her in my future. Not as a wife or anything, just as someone that would last a lot longer than a one-night stand. I see if I could fall in love with her. If I had sex with every woman, then it would become mundane and meaningless.”

“But I don’t believe in love. That’s why I—”
