    Title: To Hate Adam Connor

    So you may ask, who is Adam Connor? He is the recently divorced, Academy Award-winning actor who just moved in next door with his kid. He also happens to be an exquisite male specimen and the most infuriating sly bastard I’ve ever come across.
    Let’s be honest here, wouldn’t you wanna take a peek over the wall to catch a glimpse of him, hopefully when he is naked? Wouldn’t you melt away after watching him work out as his five-year-old kid cheered him on? Do I even have to mention those abs, the big bulge in his pants, or that arm porn? Oh, wait, you would never spy on him? Sure…
    While I was being thoughtful by not breaking and entering and was actually considering going over to offer him a shoulder—or maybe a boob or two—to cry on (y’know, because of his divorce), instead he had me thrown in jail after a small incident. Jail, people! He was supposed to grant me countless orgasms as a thank you, not a jail cell.
    After that day, I was mentally plotting ways to strangle him instead of jumping his bones to make sweet love. So what if my body did more than just shiver when he whispered dirty little things in my ear? I can’t be held responsible for that. And when was the last time he’d kissed anyone anyway? Who’d enjoy a kiss with a side of heart attack?
    Even if he and his son were the best things since sliced bread—and I’m not saying he was—I couldn’t fall for him. No matter what promises he whispered on my skin, my curse wouldn’t let us be. I wasn’t a damsel in distress—I could save myself, thank you very much—but deep inside, I still hoped Adam Connor would be the hero of my story.
    “What is this?” he asked as his hand smoothed his wet T-shirt. He lifted his hand and shook off some of the water. We’d gotten him good. My eyes followed his hand because, oh Lord, I could see the outline of his abs and those pecs…Jesus. What a glorious view. He took a step forward, and I took a step back.
    “Don’t come any closer.” I raised the gun.
    He stopped, the expression on his face making my lady parts purr. Those eyes…goddamnit, those eyes!
    “We’re cheering Aiden up,” I explained as I backed away from him since it didn’t look like he intended to stop.
    “We? Looks to me like I’m the one doing all the work.”
    “Well, you are the one who made him sad after all. It’s just a little water, Mr. Hotshot Movie Star, you won’t melt away.”
    “I think you will—”
    I didn’t let him finish and blasted him with more water, right on his crotch.
    He stopped speaking and looked down at his now wet pants. When he glanced up at me with a raised eyebrow, I braced the gun at my hip and shrugged.
    “Run, Lucy. Run for your life,” he murmured and then lunged at me. I saw him throw away his gun and before he could get to me, I turned around and ran.
    “Incoming!” I yelled, letting Aiden know his dad was coming out. Another blast of water hit Adam’s face just before he could catch me. His fingers touched my arm, but with my ninja skills, I squealed and managed to slip away from him and the tingles his hand caused every freaking time he touched me.
    Since my gun was empty, I reached for the fifth gun we’d hidden in the backyard and hit Adam from the other side.
    Adam advanced toward Aiden, and he jumped up and ran away, laughing and screaming.
    “Daddy, you can’t catch us!”
    “Oh, trust me, I will.”
    “You’re all wet now! We got you!”
    “When I get my hands on you two, you’ll be singing a different tune.”
    Adam pretended to catch Aiden, but then let him skirt away from him.
    “You’re not catching Lucy! Catch Lucy!” Aiden screamed as he eyed his father to guess which way he’d run next.
    “Hey now!” I yelled, but it was too late, my water gun jammed—the stupid thing. Before I could figure out what was wrong with it and fix it quickly, Adam quickened his steps and almost caught me.
    Dropping the gun, I twisted away from him, but I was too slow. His arm sneaked around my waist, and he caught me just as I’d started running away. His chest cushioned my fall and I grunted with the force he drew me to himself. He circled his arms around me and whispered into my ear.
    “Thank you for making him laugh, Lucy. But…”
    I didn’t melt, nor did my heart quicken. Not at all. Zilch. I didn’t like him very much after all.
    “I’m afraid I have to take you down. Aiden!” he shouted, and Aiden appeared in front of us, holding his weapon high.
    “Aiden! Man down! Help me, little human!” I shouted.
    “Let her go, Daddy!”
    “Come and get her if you want her so much,” Adam replied, and his arms gave me a light squeeze as he leaned down and secretly pressed his lips against my neck.
    The son of a bitch!
    “I’ll save you, Lucy!”
    Feeling free, safe, and happy, I dropped my head back on Adam’s shoulder and our eyes met. The smile that was stretching my lips slowly disappeared when I saw the look in his eyes.
    Shit.
    Shit.
    Shit!
    “You can’t look at me like that,” I whispered as he slowly backed us up. Despite all the cold water I’d shot at him, his body was surprisingly warm against my back. And firm. And mouthwatering. And heart-quickening.
    “Why not?”
    “Because I’m not supposed to like you.”
    The smile he gave me was soft and then suddenly his fingers were laced with mine against my chest. “But I like you very much, Lucy.”
    And just like that, before I could curse him, there was cold water all over my face.
    “Aiden!” I sputtered as Adam’s chest shook with laughter.
    “I’m shooting at him, Lucy! You’re in my way!”
    “Aim at his face!” I yelled back.
    “He got you!”
    “He is right,” Adam repeated his son’s words. “I think I got you.”
    “Think again,” I muttered and gave him a pitiful push with my elbow. And then another. I was pretty sure I hurt myself more than I did him. Pathetic, I know…
    He pulled me and we were falling back, and darn it, but I was still in his arms and couldn’t find it in me to complain.
    We fell back into the pool with a big splash, and Adam let go of me. I swam back to the surface and gasped for air. As soon as Adam’s head was above the water, Aiden started spraying him with more water. I joined his son and splashed him as much as I could.
    Adam lifted his arm and wiped the water off his eyes. After a mock growl, he yelled, “I’m coming for you, Aiden.”
    I looked behind me to see Aiden squealing and running back inside the house. It was a good thing he’d remained fairly dry; I would’ve bet the hardwood floors and all those soft carpets had cost Adam some good money. When I turned my head back and saw Adam slowly swimming toward me, I panicked and tried my best to get away from him until my back hit the edge of the pool.
    Adam dropped a little under water until all I could see were those glittering green eyes. Then before I could control my heavy breathing and give my heart a good shake so it could get itself together, he was on me. His arms held on to the edge and trapped me in between his body and the tiled wall of the pool.
    “First, you,” he said and my eyes dropped to his mouth. He wasn’t breathing as hard as I was, but he didn’t look all that calm either. “You have anything to say? Maybe an apology so I’ll take it easier on you?” he asked and my eyes jumped up to his.
    “Why would I apologize?”
    “For ambushing me.”
    I tilted my head and tapped at my lips a few times with my index finger. “Nope.”
    “Good.”
    And just like that his lips were on mine. I grunted and tried to push his chest off me, but then his hands grabbed one of mine from between us and laced our fingers again.
    Damn him.
    Damn him and his skillful tongue that had just pushed its way into my mouth.
    I’m an avid reader. Therefore, a big dreamer. I love nothing more than to escape real life to find those very few magical moments in a book. I love how it has the power of stealing your worries away, putting a smile on your face, and of course sometimes making you crush on fictional characters. If I can manage to do even one of those things for a reader, I will be a happy writer.
    Publishing my debut novel, I’m Yours is the scariest thing I’ve probably ever done before. However, it is also by far the most exciting thing. I can only hope to become a better writer with each new book.
    My beautiful girl (A Golden Retriever) is my sunshine all year around, but I still prefer Fall over any other seasons. Danishes, In&Out Burger, Mint Chocolate Chip Ice Cream, and Peanut Butter M&M’s will always stay as my guilty pleasures, and they can also double as bribes!

    They call me Rage.

    My real name is like a shadow, always close behind, but never quite able to catch up.

    I fly under the radar because no one ever suspects I’m capable of the kind of brutal violence I commit each and every day.

    You see, I’m a girl. I’m nineteen.

    And I’m a killer.

    This life is all I know. It s all I want to know. It keeps the s**t buried that I need kept buried. It allows me to live without thinking too much.

    Without dwelling on the past.

    Until him.

    It all changes when an ordinary boy becomes my next target.

    And my first love.

    I have to choose.

    The only life I ve ever known has to die, or he does.

    Either way, I ll be the one pulling the trigger…

    Prologue

     

    It was once said that if you love someone enough you should let them go.  If they come back to you, they were always meant to be yours.  

    It’s kind of bullshit.

    My story was a little different than most.  I was a little different than most.  

    Because in my story, if you love someone enough, you should first drop the gun.

    Review

    Jill’s Review

    WOW! That is almost all I can say about T.M. Frazier’s All The Rage… WOW! I was sucked in right from that prologue and it never stopped. This is a frank, gritty tale that is just so unique.

    Rage is one kickass heroine! She is different… after all isn’t that what everyone has been telling her since she was little – her parents, the teachers, the shrinkers… She is not like everyone else. She doesn’t feel the same (or at all), think the same, react the same. She feels like she is wrong and doesn’t fit in. The only time she is comfortable growing up is when she is spending time with her neighbor. He soothes her, keeps her level and he just GETS her. Together they try and work on a plan for her to be ‘normal.’ They work for years until finally at 16 she decides it just isn’t working. She may be fooling some people but not herself, and she takes off.

    Three years later, assigned a job… Rage finds herself face to face with Nolan. Nolan seems like just an ordinary All-American boy. And soon the two can’t seem to fight their attraction to each other. But looks can be deceiving. Rage may look like a barbie doll, but she is a killer… and Nolan, well he is hiding some big secrets too.

    I was drawn right into this story. But what started as a heart-wrenching story of a girl who just doesn’t fit in soon took twists and turns that kept me glued to my kindle. There was no way I could step away and chance missing anything! It turned dark, gritty, nail biting as we get swept away into their lives. Yet despite the harsh undertones present throughout – there is also a strong and beautiful story of love and acceptance here.

    Watching the push and pull between Nolan and Rage was phenomenal. He truly accepted her for who she is… the whole package. Plus have I mentioned he is a crazy sexy, alpha, hockey playing, motorcycle riding man? *Swoon* The two brought out sides of each other that just made their characters so much more complex.

    I highly recomend All The Rage. If you like the darker stories but still love to see love and romance prevail, then this is one you definitely want to pick up!

    I received a complimentary copy of All The Rage in exchange for my honest review.

    About BEHIND CLOSED DOORS

    My name is Roman Cavenaugh and I’m kind of an asshole.
    Running a company isn’t easy, especially when everyone expects you to fail, so being a jerk? It comes with the territory.
    I don’t have time to mess around, and I sure as hell didn’t see her coming.
    Cara Hamilton—she was supposed to be off limits…a temporary employee brought in during my assistant’s maternity leave.
    But, in the blink of an eye, she became so much more.
    An obsession I couldn’t shake.

    So yeah, I may be an asshole, but now, I finally had a purpose, and soon, she would be mine.
    All’s fair in love and war…

    “Can I ask you something?” she said, drawing my attention away from the monotony on my computer screen. I looked up to find her eyes dead set on mine. It was unnerving.

    She usually tried to avoid direct eye contact with me. Maybe I intimidated her. Perhaps she found me attractive and the idea of lusting after her boss bothered her.

    Believe me, it bothered me too.

    In a very physical way.

    “Go ahead,” I answered, unwilling to break the intimate connection she’d started.

    “When you saw me… at the club that night,” she said, her eyes wavering just slightly. “What was it you saw in me? I mean, was it just the clothes?”

    My eyebrows furrowed in confusion. Even though I’d said we’d never speak of what happened that drunken night two weeks ago, I saw something in her eyes that needed an answer.

    That needed something more.

    “Why are you asking?”

    “It’s nothing, sorry. I’m being stupid,” she backpedaled, as she began fiddling with the hem of her skirt.

    Looking back at our few interactions, I suddenly noticed the difference in how she’d acted today. Her normal never-ending stream of word vomit was there, but behind it, there was an internal struggle going on. The hemline wasn’t the first thing she’d fidgeted with. I’d watched as she’d pulled at the collar of her shirt and then, as if she’d realized what she had done was wrong, quickly lay it flat again.

    “Does this have something to do with the way you’re dressed today?”

    Pink tinged her cheeks once again.

    “You noticed?”

    I simply nodded, not trusting myself with words in that moment.

    Because I’d more than noticed. It’d been damn hard not to think about anything but.

    “A gift from my boyfriend,” she replied. “He said my old clothes didn’t fit in with our new life style. It was a very generous gift,” she added, never forgetting that politeness she’d no doubt been taught since birth.

    “But?” I questioned, waiting for her to continue.

    “But… I don’t feel like me anymore,” she finally admitted.

    “And I’m guessing the night in the club was another gift of his as well?”

    It was her turn to nod.

    I could see the indecision and worry gnawing at her. Someone like her, sweet, honest and good… she was meant for better things than a life with a man who didn’t appreciate her.

    Leaning forward, I made sure she saw the sincerity burning in my eyes as I spoke. “That night in the club, I’ll admit, I noticed the dress first.”

    She opened her lips to speak but I held up my hand to stop her, wanting to make my point.

    “And today, when you walked in, I couldn’t help but give a second… or third glance at the way that new skirt hugged your ass.”

    Her eyes widened at my blatant honesty.

    “So yes, the clothes may grab my attention for a moment or two, but the fact that I’m still interested, two weeks later? That’s you, Cara. That’s all you.”

    And just like that, I’d crossed the line.

    I’d hit on an employee.

    And there was no going back from that.

    We’ve changed. Darker, damaged and unable to conform. My husband Joshua is dealing with the past the best that he can…..as am I.

    Nobody else can understand the language we speak. The trauma we have been through.

    But with the pain comes pleasure and happiness is our gift.
    bliss teaser 4

    Excerpt

    From my bed, I hear the front door open downstairs, the car keys hit the foyer table with force, then I listen as he takes the stairs two at a time. I feel a rush of excitement sweep through me.

    My man is home.

    Once upon a time, he trained to fight. Now his fight is daily. Mentally battling his demons and physically battling competitors at 6:00 a.m. every morning, I feel sorry for the poor bastards he fights. They don’t stand a chance. He’s changed. He’s darker, damaged and unwilling to conform. Joshua Stanton is dealing with the last six months the best that he can… as am I.

    We have each other, we get it, nobody else can understand the language we speak or the pain we have been through. I lie still, trying to recover from our night, and yet he has been up and to the gym. I know why he does it; he’s trying to control the anger at what we have been through. He’s still furious, furious at himself for letting it happen, furious at Amelie for doing what she did, and furious at the press for feeding on our nightmare. He turns the corner into our room and his dark eyes drop to my naked body on the bed. He’s wet with perspiration and there’s a tangible force, a feeling of adrenaline pumping through his body out onto me where I lie. His t-shirt comes slowly over his head, and he drops his pants to reveal that beautiful rock hard body.

    “How was your fight?” I whisper as my eyes lower to my name on his side.

    He smiles sexily as he walks around the side of the bed, surveying me. He doesn’t answer as his hand drops to between his legs and he gives himself three slow hard strokes. My breath catches. He hasn’t said a word or touched me and yet, as always, just the sight of him makes me good to go. “You look exceptional, Mrs. Stanton,” he whispers as his hand continues to stroke his cock.

    I hold my breath and open my legs just that little bit farther. Joshua cracks his neck hard as his dark eyes stay fixed between my legs.

    His tongue slides over his bottom lip before he drops his head and begins to lick my inner thigh.

    “Give me my breakfast. I’m fucking starving.”

    I lay back and close my eyes. Mr. Stanton is here, like he is most mornings when he returns from fighting. The adrenaline in his system is through the roof and I’m the lucky girl he releases it on. Our sex is rougher and less controlled than it has ever been, but it’s also never been so hot. I’m putty in his dominant hands.

    I crave his control over my body. I crave the way he takes what he needs without a care in the world.

    His strong hands hold my legs apart and his hot tongue swipes through my flesh.

    “Hmm,” he groans into me.
My hands fall to the back of his head.
“Oh, you fucking taste good, my beautiful girl,” he whispers.
I shudder immediately and close my eyes. If I watch him do that, I will come in five seconds flat.
He starts to really eat me, dragging my body up and down his face. His sharp whiskers are grinding but it’s a pleasurable burn, a pain I have become accustomed to, the pain is my addiction.

    Hunting For A Killer…Who Doesn’t Play By The Rules.

    Detective Erin Donovan expects life to quiet down after the arrest and conviction of a serial rapist who terrified her university town last summer. Then two young women are brutally slain and the murders bear all the hallmarks of the campus rapist. Did Erin arrest an innocent man? Now her job is at stake and tensions are high and just when it looks like things can’t get worse, her department gets the help it needs to solve the double homicide–in the form of a man Erin has never been able to forget.

    FBI Agent Darsh Singh has no interest in reliving the past. Three years ago, his feelings for Erin Donovan had him breaking all his rules about getting involved. Now his only interest in the former NYPD detective is figuring out if she screwed up a rape investigation and helped send an innocent man to prison. But being forced to work together rekindles their old attraction, and as Darsh and Erin fall for each other, the campus predator fixates on Erin. The race is on to identify the ruthless killer before he makes Erin his final victim.

    Excerpt

    Her mouth turned down at the edges, and he tried to forget the fact he’d spent hours kissing those lips—and every other inch of her body. As if reading the direction of his thoughts she glared at him and turned to the evidence tech she’d been talking to, dismissing Darsh like he was a nobody.

     

    He shoved down a grin. If it hadn’t been the scene of a double homicide he’d have laughed. He was used to working with women who busted balls for breakfast. He actually enjoyed the challenge of them. He stood waiting patiently until she deigned to speak to him. Forty-six seconds later, she walked across the room to where he’d planted himself beside the door.

     

    “You’re FBI?” She held out her hand for his creds. Took them and examined them carefully. “Not a Marine then?” she muttered under her breath, proving she definitely remembered their night together three years ago.

     

    “Once a Marine always a Marine,” he told her truthfully.

     

    “Semper Fi,” she muttered sarcastically.

     

    Always faithful.

     

    “Well, that’s my motto.” He plucked his creds out of her grip, and she flinched.

     

    Up close, those unusual eyes stood out against creamy skin and thick dark lashes like a wash of color in an otherwise pale complexion. There were shadows beneath them, bruises of fatigue dappling tender skin, speaking of a double shift dealing with brutal reality. He told himself it didn’t matter. All that mattered was helping catch this killer and making sure the local cops weren’t incompetent hicks.

     

    “This isn’t a federal case.” Irritation frosted her tone.

     

    Hell, snowmen were warmer than this woman appeared on the surface—except he knew that beneath the icy exterior was a core of molten fire. “No, ma’am.”

     

    “Detective,” she corrected, those sharp eyes of hers apparently tracking his thoughts. “Detective Erin Donovan.”

     

    “Detective.” He inclined his head, inexplicably relieved she hadn’t lied about her first name. He’d taken one look at the sexy blonde and been smitten. At first they hadn’t exchanged surnames or life histories, both wanting a no-strings hook up. But by the end of the night he’d wanted to know everything about her—except the one thing he’d discovered. He cleared his throat. “Your chief requested assistance from the BAU. I’m it.”

     

    Her boss, at the urging of the governor, had indeed called the FBI for assistance. None of the local cops needed to know the DOJ was also involved.

     

    “BAU? You’re BAU?” Her expression became less antagonistic now that she knew he wasn’t a field officer who might try to wrest the case from her. But the question remained in her eyes—why lie about being a Marine all those years ago? A spark of apparent understanding lit her eyes, but he couldn’t begin to guess what she was thinking.

     

    “I guess we both lied to get what we wanted,” she said in barely a whisper.”

    Book Blurb:

     

    Colt Rayburn loved Aiden Delvin, once. A lifetime ago. Before duty and the Marines took him a world away, chewed him up and spit him out.
    Aiden would have waited forever for Colt to come back. But Colt didn’t want that, and he’s rebuilt his life. Without the man he loves.
    When Colt comes home from a deployment that went wrong, Aiden is there. Inexplicably back in Green County and impossible to resist. He swore he’d never go back to that place, never destroy Aiden the way he had when he walked away the first time.
    But Aiden grew up and changed too, while Colt played war hero.
    Both of them know what they want. After all this time. But can a love story that destroyed them once be rebuilt, when life and duty still hangs over them both…

    Exclusive Excerpt:

    Hell is being forced to look. To watch Colt from behind the lens of my camera, his sexy little smirk, and the not-quite bedroom smile, a soft twist of the lips that tugs hard at me.
    It’s not the smile I got, after sex when we were lazy and he was half asleep against my shoulder. It’s just a little bit guarded. But it’s close enough.
    Close enough that desire skitters like a living thing along my skin as I watch him.
    I don’t have to tell him what to do. Colt was my first live subject, a lifetime ago. Photographing him is as easy as breathing, and as painful as stabbing knives.
    I want to demand to know why he was pushing, in the USO building.
    He had wanted to kiss me.
    “Aiden!” Colt calls, and it snaps me from my thoughts. He looks amazing in a dark green t-shirt that’s too tight across his broad chest, and camo pants that hang like pure perfection on his lean hips.
    He looks every inch the Marine.
    When Colt told me he was leaving, I didn’t believe him.
    And then he did, and it was so….wrong. So unbelievable, that I did the only thing I knew how to do—I shoved everything that remotely reminded me of him away. I left Green County, and I left Remi and Brian and Shelly. The family that had adopted me because Colt Rayburn loved me.
    I left my favorite brother, and the entire world that I knew.
    All of it was like a knife, straight to the gut, and when I got off that plane in New York, I pulled the knife out.
    I let the wound heal.
    Except.
    There was always a piece that was left behind. The tip of the knife, broken off and lodged under my skin. Colt was lodged under my skin, and as much as I wanted to be free of him, I couldn’t be.
    Even when I healed, and allowed myself to move on—even when I was with other people—Colt was with me. A part of me.
    And now….
    Now he’s here, and he’s giving me that smirk, all Marine Corps bad boy. The favorite son of Green County, the fucking war hero.
    And it twists, that damn piece of Colt deep inside me, twists and it’s pure agony.

    BEAUTIFULFront150dpi

    Skylar Woods unknowingly drew Wyatt Smith toward her. He wanted…needed to learn everything about her. Though he sensed her beauty was more than just skin deep, Wyatt struggled to understand the sadness she attempted to mask with an amazing smile.

    When Skylar’s eyes met Wyatt’s for the first time, her breath caught and she couldn’t look away from the new guy standing in the school office smiling at her. The connection only grew when Wyatt sat next to her in English class, allowing Skylar to dare to believe he might actually be interested in getting to know her.

    For the first time in months, she felt alive.

    The moment Wyatt expressed an interest, the notes started again…the ones that reminded her of a past she could never move beyond—the event that changed her life forever and robbed her of any chance of happiness.

    Never believing the rumors being spread around school about Skylar, Wyatt made sure he went out of his way to prove how much he cared about her.

    But when the past resurfaces, will Wyatt stand by her side? Or will he turn against her like everyone else?

    Beautiful teaser 5

    EXCERPT

    After practice, I looked up and saw Skylar in the bleachers. She was sitting on the opposite side of the field from everyone else, and I immediately knew why. Jenny would agitate her if she’d sat on the home side.

    Running over, I took off my helmet, and Skylar walked down to the field.

    “Hey,” she said with the cutest damn smile.

    God, the things this girl does to my heart.

    “Hey back atcha.”

    “Smith! Get in the shower now!” Coach yelled out.

    Skylar looked at Coach and scrunched up her face. “I didn’t get you in trouble, did I?”

    Laughing, I said, “Nah. Besides, seeing your beautiful smile is worth it.”

    Her eyes lit up, and my stomach felt like I was on a damn roller coaster.

    “I have tonight off work,” she said.

    My heart started beating faster, and it wasn’t from all the running I had just done in practice. “Oh, yeah?”

    “I was wondering if you might…like to go to a movie? I mean, it would be a double date ’cause Mitch and Michelle would be there.”

    I wiggled my eyebrows. “A date, huh?”

    “A double date,” she replied with a chuckle.

    “Smith! Less than thirty seconds to get your ass moving and into the shower!”

    Skylar glanced over to Coach again and then back to me. She jutted her lip out into a pout and said, “You’d better go before you get in trouble.”

    My heart stopped as my eyes fell to those lips. I was falling hard for Skylar, harder than I’d ever dreamed I could.

    I started to run backward. Winking, I said, “Count me in!”

    REVIEW

    Jill’s Review

    While this may sound trite… Ella Bordeaux’s Beautiful is an absolutely Beautiful story.

    High School can be a cold, hard and unforgiving place. Unfortunately that is the world that Skylar lives in. She made it through an awful experience only to have lies spread about her. People whispering, bullying, shunning her – this is now her life. Instead of the many friends she used to have her world has narrowed down to one and her brother. Enter in new boy Wyatt. Gorgeous, football player and has a mind of his own! Does it get any better than that? He doesn’t pay one bit of attention to the rumors flying around about Sklar. She intrigued him from the moment he saw her and he was determined to get to know her.

    Wyatt and Skylar… so absolutely perfect together. Watching their interactions was so heartwarming. Seeing Skylar open back up after everything she endured filled me with such hope. And Wyatt’s thoughtful gestures just warmed my heart.

    There is some sensitive subject matter that is covered in Beautiful. But Ella Bordeaux handled it both with class and realistically. It is important to remember how often these issues really occur. And the fact that she didn’t shy away from portraying the ugly aftermath, yet also painted a beautiful story of hope shows the depth and skill of her writing.

    Skylar and Wyatt’s story is NOT done! And I cannot wait to see how the rest if their story unfolds!

    I definitely recomend this beautiful story!

    I received a complimentary copy of Beautiful in exchange for my honest review.

    Dear reader:
    Congratulations on purchasing the Awkward Sex Anthology! A bunch of amazing authors in a group called FTN (We could tell you what this means, but then we’d have to kill you) got together to write the most awkward sex scenes you could imagine, all for charity. You might be thinking to yourself, “I can’t believe I just bought a book called F*cking Awkward” and I’m here to tell you, it’s much better than the titles that were rejected:
    F*cking Toasters
    F*cking Goats
    F*cking a Box of Captain Crunch
    F*cking a T-Rex While Playing the Trumpet
    F*cking My Best Friend’s Neighbor’s Stepsister’s Starbucks Manager While Wearing a Toga
    F*cking a Toga
    I’m just kidding! Nobody wrote a story about f*cking a goat! It was a wombat, actually, and no one pressed charges, so it’s fine. The author is fine, the wombat is fine, EVERYONE IS FINE AND I DIDN’T NEED THERAPY SO STOP LOOKING AT ME LIKE THAT.
    Did you know that six out of every seven people in the entire world have experienced an awkward sexual encounter? It’s true. I’ve done extensive research. And by extensive, I mean I did a poll of all the adults in my house – 2 dogs, 3 cats, and my husband and I. I’m pretty sure my dog Fat Ralph was lying when he told me he’d never experienced anything awkward during sex, but he had his nuts cut off when he was six weeks old and is still quite bitter about the whole thing and threatens me with a dog bone shank whenever we chat about sex, so I think it’s 4 best if I stop questioning him about the time I found him in the backyard with a jar of peanut butter, two frogs and the neighbor’s cat wearing pasties.
    The cat was the one wearing pasties, FYI, not Fat Ralph. That would just be weird.
    So, grab some booze, sit back, and enjoy these hilariously awkward sex scenes. Give yourself a pat on the back for purchasing a book for charity and another one for never experiencing something as crazy as what you’re about to read. Unless you have. In that case, it’s okay to cry and rock back and forth in the corner screaming, “IT WAS ONLY THAT ONE TIME AND I HAD NO IDEA I WASN’T SUPPOSED TO PUT THAT CUCUMBER THERE!” Six out of seven of us totally understand. Except for Fat Ralph. He’s totally judging you right now.

    About Love’s Learning Curve:

    Love's Learning Curve

    College for most girls comes with a rite of passage to make mistakes, to live fearlessly, and to experience the real world while not under a microscope, having every move made scrutinized, criticized and worst of all, publicized. As the only child of the governor of South Carolina, and potential US Presidential candidate, Charlotte Maryland Baker is not granted the luxury of the typical college experience.

     

    Tyler Stone lives for baseball and everything that comes with it, and has the stats to prove he’s an exceptional player. The only place Tyler Stone feels he matters is on the pitching mound. Without the distraction of dating, or making friends he can concentrate on the one thing that makes him feel complete – Baseball.

    DIRTY SEXY SECRET Blurb:

    Even when you know better….
    There are a million reasons why Hazel Campton is off limits: she’s a journalist. I’m a cop. Oh, and she’s my foster sister.
    My secret is I didn’t care. I haven’t stopped wanting her since I slept with her the night before she left.
    She’s trouble. Always has been.

    It’s hard to resist the thing you’ve always wanted…
    Growing up with Brandon Archer means I know him. Good. Bad. Everything in between.
    It’s just never mattered.
    My secret? That night. The one I stole, that’s kept me from Archer and Green County, for four years.
    Now I’m home, and nothing has changed. Except me. And not in the way that means a damn thing.
    Because I still want him.

    Everything can change with a knock at the door…
    Secrets. Everyone has them. Archer. Me. This town.
    Perfection only runs surface deep in Green County. When there’s a knock at me door, it’s a familiar face all covered in danger, and all those secrets we hide? They’re about to come tumbling out.

    The first in a sexy new series about Green County, and the people who serve there.

    EXCERPT:

     

    Was good sex—okay, fantastic fucking sex—worth the risk of fucking up one of the best things that had ever happened to me?
    Yes.
    There was that thought. The one that said—this is Hazel. She wasn’t some girl I’d fuck in the back room of the bar before I went home and forgot her, to smile politely when I wrote her a ticket two months later.
    It was Hazel. Everything would be easier and harder and more. How the fuck could it be anything but?
    And god. The thought of getting her again. Naked and panting, her lips around my dick.
    I groan, and reach for my dick. I can still taste her. I can feel her tight cunt rippling around my fingers and I want that around my dick, want her pretty groans filling up the room as I fill up her body.
    I can see her again. Pale skin gilded silver by moonlight, blue eyes shining, all the blonde hair a tangled mess from my hands wrapping up in it.
    The smooth arch of her throat as I fucked her, and the wrecked pleasure on her face as she came, shuddering silky sweet around me.
    I groan, my body slumping against the wall of the shower as my dick leaps in my hand, my orgasm slamming into me, through me, so fucking hard I almost slip.
    Almost hit my ass and I groan, again, the pleasure ripping through me and her laughing eyes. She’d laugh her ass off, knowing she’d nearly knocked me on my ass.
    I turn into the water, let it wash over my face and groan again.
    I am so fucking screwed.

    Idol VIP

    Libby

    I found Killian drunk and sprawled out on my lawn like some lost prince. With the face of a god and the arrogance to match, the pest won’t leave. Sexy, charming, and just a little bit dirty, he’s slowly wearing me down, making me crave more.

    He could be mine if I dare to claim him. Problem is, the world thinks he’s theirs. How do you keep an idol when everyone is intent on taking him away?

    Killian

    As lead singer for the biggest rock band in the world, I lived a life of dreams. It all fell apart with one fateful decision. Now everything is in shambles.

    Until Liberty. She’s grouchy, a recluse—and kind of cute. Scratch that. When I get my hands on her, she is scorching hot and more addictive than all the fans who’ve screamed my name.

    The world is clamouring for me to get back on stage, but I’m not willing to leave her. I’ve got to find a way to coax the hermit from her shell and keep her with me. Because, with Libby, everything has changed. Everything.

    AMAZON / iBOOKS

     

     

     

     

    “You know,” I say conversationally, as I kick back, “I want to fuck you right now.”

    Libby jerks as if pinched and sits a little straighter, before getting a hold of herself and slouching as if she’s completely chill. Cute.

    She gives me a smirk and sips her water before drawling, “And what? Mark you territory? Assert your manly dominance?”

    “Yep.” I slide my gaze to hers. “But mostly I just want to fuck you all the time.”

    God, I love the way her lips part and body flushes with heat. So subtle, but there all the same. It makes me hard as steel, my balls squeezing tight. I don’t look at her but pretend I’m observing the room. The lights are dimming for the movie now, the empty chairs in front of us obscuring our lower halves.

    Slowly my hand falls to space between us and smooths along her hip. She delicately shivers as my fingers trace down her thigh.

    “What about you,” I murmur, lightly toying with her skirt in the darkening room. “You want to fuck me, baby doll?”

    “Right now, I want to kick you,” she gets out between clenched teeth. “Keep your hands to yourself. There are nosy ass people everywhere.”

    “They’re all watching the movie. Not us.” Focusing on the screen, I keep my expression neutral as I ease my hand under her skirt. Her skin is smooth and warm. The movie starts in a blast of music and the familiar old logo as I trace over her knew and up her soft thigh. “And that wasn’t a ‘no.’”

    She makes a cute growl in the back of her throat, but her legs part just enough to give me room to delve between them. Her inner thighs are hot and damp, and my cock twitches.

    The storyline rolls along, my touch idly roams. Libby remains utterly still but I can practically feel the tension vibrating within her. When the tip of my finger skims the crease where her thigh meets her lip, her breath catches, legs parting wider.

    “Have I mentioned how much I appreciated this new skirt-filled wardrobe?” I whisper, lightly drawing circles along her skin.

    “Brenna’s idea.” Her hips shift just a bit, following my touch. “Right now, I’m missing my shorts.”

    I smile, my eyes on the screen, my fingers drifting to the edge of her panties. “Later, you can put them on and we’ll play ‘Fuck the Farmer’s Daughter.’”

    She grunts, a stifled laugh, which turns to a strangled whimper when I pluck her panties. Her voice turns breathy. “I’m trying to watch the damn movie. I’m not interested in fooling around.” She moves a tiny fraction, nudging against my finger.

    In the dark, I grin, heat and lust pulling my abs tight. “I’m sorry,” I saw, not sorry at all, “But I don’t believe you. I’m gonna have to check.”

    What is it about this guy?

    On paper, he’s one hundred percent wrong for me. His e-mails are equal parts annoying and funny.

    Okay, more funny than annoying. More like refreshing. Different. Exciting.

    But as I stand next to him now, he’s giving me head-to-toe tingles, and I find myself dwelling on his e-mails.
