OMG!!! Jessie Lane COVER REVEAL!!!

The Burning Star
Jessie Lane, M.L. Pahl
(Star, #1)
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

Seventeen-year-old Kay’s journey of a lifetime started in the woods where she met a beautiful man … along with a monster. The chance encounter led her to an unbelievable world that shouldn’t have existed, a place where myths and fairytales were real and, in some cases, deadly.
Kay knew she would have to brave this new world if she hoped to find a cure for her terminal cancer.
With a strange yet beautiful cast of characters, Kay uncovered truths that would change her life forever. However, before it was all over, she discovered she wasn’t the only one with problems.
Yet another seventeen-year-old young woman was fighting for her life.
Kira had grown up in a magical world. Despite this, her life had not been filled with many good things. She considered her empty, emotional solitude the only positive aspect of her life and fought daily battles to escape abuse and torture.
Trained to be an expert assassin, she was charged with kidnapping Kay and delivering her to Kira’s master, Lord Donovan.
As the two young women set forth on their journeys, their paths would cross in unimaginable ways. There was only one question that remained: who would come out alive?

The Frozen Star
Jessie Lane, M.L. Pahl
(Star, #2)
Genres: Paranormal, Young Adult

The journey continues …
Kay discovered secrets, lies, shocking truths, and even love in a strange new world hidden from humans. Everything she thought she knew was turned upside down when she found out three things: she wasn’t human; she had a power she couldn’t control; and there was a possibility she might have found a way to cure her deadly cancer by using that very same power.
Just when she was on the precipice of gaining everything she wanted and saving her own life, tragedy struck. Would she be able to fight her way back to Ryan and save herself in the process?
Kira had lived a terrifying life of servitude and abuse under Lord Donovan and his son, Cole. It was an existence that had stripped away her emotions and reasons to keep fighting.
Just when she thought freedom was within reach, Lord Donovan struck again, ruining her plans and almost killing her. When she awoke from her injuries, it was to stunning revelations that would change her life forever, changes she wasn’t entirely sure she wanted.
Persistent individuals, such as Prince Kane, refused to let her walk away, though. Would she embrace all of her sudden fortune? Or would she walk away from those who needed her most, forsaking their acceptance and love?

PIFY: April Update and May picks!

The theme for April's PIFY is: One of Lindsay/Nikki's Favorite books! 

So you KNOW that they'll have a billion options and have a hard time picking!!!


Nikki's Pick for April: Vengeance by Shara Azod

Her scars ran so deep, her soul had been severed in two. Michelene had killed and run—but not far enough, or fast enough. 

They’d found her. 

Azriel had but one rule. No attachments. This rule had kept him alive. He’d lived by it—until her. 

She’d found her savior in a man whose past was even darker than her own and whose soul held shadows of that dark. He made her body explode in ways she’d never imagined possible and gave her heart something she’d long given up... hope. 

Michelene was his saving grace. The only thing which kept the darkness from consuming him. She was his to protect and cherish. 

God help anyone who challenged that--because Vengeance would be his. 



Nikki's reason: I'm choosing this book because A) it is super freaking sexy. B)it has a psycho possessive (in the best ways) hero who is all about vengeance and doesn't mind a little murder to make sure his lady love is safe, and I know how that can be right up your alley ;) Plus I really loved it!

Lindsay's Rating: ★★★★☆ (You can find Lindsay's review here)

Nikki's Rating:  ★★★★★ (you can find Nikki's review here)

Lindsay: So, this wasn't a horrible read. I wasn't sure what to expect and I'll admit that even with the hot guy on the cover, the book didn't scream at me. But it ended up being a good book. It wasn't a horrible choice ;) 

Well, I'm glad you didn't hate it lol

LOL. Well, I didn't. But you know me, I had issues. Not bad issues, but I just never felt like I REALLY got to know Azriel, and that bothered me because I wanted to know more. 

That's an understandable issue. If I remember correctly, I felt the same. I really liked his character and I wanted the book to delve deeper into who he was and where he came from.

Totally agree with you. But I have to say that I was completely intrigued by Michelene’s brother Pierre. For me, he was a guy I wanted more of…I want to see him run his family’s business, make it his own and find a HEA…while exuding alphaness and distributing vengeance on behalf of his lady love who is in trouble of her own. So I seriously hope the author writes him a book! 
Yes! He was definitely a side character that stole the spotlight! I want a book for him too!
Any hope of the author writing one for you? I figured you'd know because you're the professional author stalker! ;) 
Lol! Um... I have to say I haven't had my stalker cape on too much lately so... Not sure. I'll get on that though ;)

Well get back to it woman! 
 LMAO. Aye Aye Captain

Lindsay's Pick: A Humble Heart (Hollywood Hearts #1) by R.L. Mathewson

After wasting too many years on the wrong guy, Dana frees herself and her two children to live her dream.When she's forced to deal with paparazzi, offers from porn companies, magazines, Hollywood and crazed fans Dana does everything she can to keep it together for her kids. She never dreamed she'd catch the eye of the most sought after bachelor in the world. Things like that just didn't happen to women like her, or did they?

Having a life? What the hell was that? Edward couldn't remember what it felt like to live his own life without someone watching his every move. Thanks to the paparazzi and the internet nothing in his life was sacred. Out of desperation to keep some semblance of a life he stops living his own. His family and work are all he has left until he's made an offer he simply can't resist. Working with the famous author forces him to open his heart and take a chance. Winning the heart of the woman he loves while the world watches is anything but easy, but he never thought it would be dangerous. His only hope is that they get through it together.....and alive.



Lindsay's reason: Ok, I read this forever ago and I absolutely loved it! I know Nikki loves R.L. Mathewson's books, but she keeps ignoring me when I say this book is BEYOND AWESOME!!! So when I had the chance to pick it for a PIFY, I went for it! 


Lindsay's Rating: ★★★★★ (You can find Lindsay's review here)

Nikki's Rating:  ★★★★☆ (you can find Nikki's review here)




Typically, I shy away from famous characters. I don't really have an explanation, I just don't dig em. This book has an actor and a famous author in it and I'll be honest, I was nervous. However, it turned out that was pointless because the book was great!

Lol. Is it horrible that I want to say told you so!? 

Lol, you wouldn't be you if you didn't ;) 

Lol. Hey! But seriously, I'm glad you loved it! I knew you would. Even though it's a famous couple/an actor, it was a typical RL Mathewson book and I know how much you love her stuff! 

Yes, you're right! I did love it and I'm really glad you chose it. Hey, maybe there's hope for me yet ;)

LOL. I'll keep working on you, so there's definitely hope! ;) 

LMAO. Ok so what is up for May?

Well, our topic is: Something out of our comfort zone. 
Oh no!  Just kidding! Sock it to me!




Lindsay's Pick: Fitzwilliam Darcy, Rock Star by Heather Lynn Rigaud



"Darcy's as hot as he is talented..."

Fast music, powerful beats, and wild reputations-on and off stage-have made virtuoso guitarist Fitzwilliam Darcy's band into rock's newest bad boys. But they've lost their latest opening act, and their red-hot summer tour is on the fast track to disaster. Now Darcy and bandmates Charles Bingley and Richard Fitzwilliam are about to meet their match...

"But she's about to rock his world..."

Enter Elizabeth Bennet, fiercely independent star of girl-band Long Borne Suffering. Elizabeth, her sister Jane, and friend Charlotte Lucas have talent to spare and jump at the opening band slot. Elizabeth is sure she's seen the worst the music industry has to offer. But as the days and nights heat up, it becomes clear that everyone is in for a summer to remember.


Lindsay's reason: Ok, so I know you're not a fan of rock stars but this book is a) one of my favorites, b) totally awesome and c) we've been talking about it for ages and I really think you'll love it! 



Nikki's Pick:  Undeniable by Alison Kent

There was a time when Crow Hill, Texas’s notorious Dalton Gang ran wild. Now, as owners of the Dalton Ranch, their partnership in the rundown operation leaves little time for raising hell—except for the right women who can turn on the heat…

It’s been sixteen years since Dax Campbell set foot in Crow Hill—and sixteen years since Arwen Poole had a crush on him in high school. Unfortunately, setting her sights on this irresistible man again has stirred up a lot of unfulfilled desires in Arwen. A few nights in bed with Dax should get him out of her system once and for all. That’s all she wants. And for now, that’s all she needs.

But Dax is looking for something deeper in a woman. So they agree to an unconventional affair: for every no-strings sexual encounter Arwen craves, Dax gets to take her out for a night of romance. While both manage to hold up their end of the bargain, they’re growing closer than either of them can afford. Because Dax has a family secret that could drive him out of Crow Hill for good, and Arwen’s not letting him go without a fight…

Nikki's Reason: Well, I know you're not a fan of the cowboy trope, so that's the main reason. This book, however, is really good and there's sexy times galore! ;)

Mercy F*uck by K.S. Adkins

You know what I LOVE?! Stumbling across a book by total accident and finding a new favorite read, as well as an author who is awesomesauce! 

Isn't that the best! Here's my review for Mercy F*ck by K.S. Adkins, muh new faave!!!

Mercy F*uck by K.S. Adkins

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

You've seen the title of this book and now you're curious, I get it. 

I totally do. 
Mercy F*uck isn't a title that inspires smiles and you'd be right. 

Let me start by saying his name was Axle Rhodes and everything about him, including his love for Metallica, made you want to offer yourself up as a sacrifice.
And believe me, I did.
My heart and v-card were his for the conquering, and because he had a pulse, twenty-four-seven erection and empty bed, he took it.

It was love, it was fate, it was our happily ever after. 
Right?
Wrong. 
It was bullshit.

For Axle it wasn't any of those things. 
I know this to be true because while planning our wedding while still naked in said bed, I had the misfortune of hearing him utter the two words that described what he really thought of me. 

Now don't go feeling sorry for me, okay? I learned a valuable lesson about the opposite sex that day and am all the better for it. 
To Axle, I was a Mercy F*uck this is true. But, every man I would meet after him would become mine. 

My name is Drew, by the way, and nine years and a lot of practice later, I like to think of myself as the 'Mercy F*uck Master'. 
Trust me, it was title I earned and was seriously proud of too.
Well at least I was, until the Mercy F*ucker came back.

Starr Media Second-Assistant Survival Guide

1. Don't call your hot boss the antichrist to his face

2. Don't stare at hot boss's, um, package or his full sleeve of tattoos. (No. Really. Stop!)

3. Don't get on the malicious first assistant's bad side.

4. Don't forget to memorize the 300-page employee manual.

5. If you value your cashmere, steer clear of boss’s dog.

6. Boss’s dimples are lust-inducing. Do. Not. Give. In.

7. “The elevator ate your clothes” is not a valid excuse for showing up to important meetings half dressed.
8. Don't break seven of the rules within the first week of employment if you, ya know, are in dire need of money to support your sick mom.

9. Whatever you do, don’t fall for the boss. See rule eight about sick mom.

10. Never forget the rules.

"This book is an absolute gem! Nick is so freaking SEXY! And funny! And adorable in the HOTTEST way!!!" - NYT Bestselling Author Emma Chase

     

"This was absolutely brilliant! Full of sex, sarcasm, and shenanigans, Lauren Blakely, once again, brings me to my knees in her romantic comedy!" - Shayna Renee's Spicy Reads

   

Amazon US | Amazon Paperback | iBooks | Kobo

Barnes & Noble | Google Play

✮✮✮MISTER O will be available on Kindle on release day May 2!✮✮✮

Just call me Mister O. Because YOUR pleasure is my super power.

Making a woman feel 'oh-god-that's-good' is the name of the game, and if a man can't get the job done, he should get the hell out of the bedroom. I'm talking toe-curling, mind-blowing, sheet-grabbing ecstasy. Like I provide every time.

I suppose that makes me a superhero of pleasure, and my mission is to always deliver.

But then I'm thrown for a loop when a certain woman asks me to teach her everything about how to win a man. The only problem? She's my best friend's sister, but she's far too tempting to resist--especially when I learn that sweet, sexy Harper has a dirty mind too and wants to put it to good use. What could possibly go wrong as I give the woman I've secretly wanted some no-strings-attached lessons in seduction?

No one will know, even if we send a few dirty sexts. Okay, a few hundred. Or if the zipper on her dress gets stuck. Not on that! Or if she gives me those f*&k-me-eyes on the train in front of her whole family.

The trouble is the more nights I spend with her in bed, the more days I want to spend with her out of bed. And for the first time ever, I'm not only thinking about how to make a woman cry out in pleasure --I'm thinking about how to keep her in my arms for a long time to come.

Looks like the real Adventures of Mister Orgasm have only just begun....

**MISTER O is a standalone romantic comedy and it follows supporting characters first introduced in BIG ROCK**

 

"A sexy, delicious, toe-curlingly good time!"

- NYT Bestselling Author Marie Force

 

"Nick is hilarious, sexy, passionate, sweet, and knows that cake is very important to a woman's heart and soul. Together, their banter is refreshing, their sex is off-the charts hot, and their minds are brilliant." - Sandra at Two Book Pushers

“You’re good, Nick. You know just what to do and how to behave. This is why you attract women in droves.”

            I kind of want to protest. I feel like she has this impression of me that I don’t necessarily want her to have, but I’m not sure how to deflect this. “Because I have a gift?”

            “That and several other reasons.” She waves broadly at my arms. It’s October, but it’s not chilly tonight so I don’t have a jacket on. “First, there are the arms. All that ink and muscle.”

            She roams her eyes over my biceps. “I mean, your ink is awesome,” she says, pointing to the shapes and swirls I designed myself. The tattoos are abstract lines and curves, but inside them there’s a sun, a moon, and stars, because those were the first things I realized I was good at drawing.

            “Then, the body. Mr. Men’s Health-I’m-so-fit,” she says in this mocking tone, but it’s not me she’s making fun of. It’s the article.

            “You read it?”

            “I read everything. I devour information,” she says, and we’re right back to that place I seem to inhabit with her, where she compliments me, but she could be saying it like I’m a car she’s considering buying. And this one has one hundred seventy horsepower.

            “And then, there’s your face, and you have all this awesome scruff on it.”

            I run a hand over my jaw, and the neat, trim beard that’s like an additional sex toy I can bring to the bedroom. “Chicks dig the beard,” I say, with a lopsided grin.

            “I bet they do,” she says under her breath. She doesn’t say anything else right away. She presses her teeth into the corner of her lip and then speaks, more softly than before. “Can I feel it?”

            FUCK, YES.

            She raises her hand and touches my jaw. My breath hitches as she runs her thumb across the light bristles. I’m keenly aware of every second that passes, one ticking into the next as she touches me, stroking my jawline like she’s mesmerized by the texture.

            “Soft,” she whispers, almost in wonder as she stares at my chin. My heart starts hammering, and I fight to stay still. When she says, “But kind of hard, too,” I swear, I don’t know how I manage not to cup her cheeks, back her up against the stone wall, and just kiss the hell out of her. Kiss, touch, grind, and then some. I want to yank that lush body against mine, let her feel how much she turns me on, and find out if I do the same thing to her. The way her breath barely catches sends my mind spinning and lust spiraling tight in me. I can’t help but hope she wants what I do, and it feels like she could, going by the way she touches my face. It truly fucking does, and maybe that’s why her name takes shape in my throat like a warning.

            So she knows she’s playing with fire if she touches me like this again.
