Holiday Party Blog Tour, Review and Giveaway - Bishop's Angel by Tory Richards



Bishop's Angel by Tory Richards


Synopsis:

After ten years of sacrificing everything for his country as a Navy SEAL, Bishop is looking for salvation, and something more permanent in his life, something good. Angel, a pretty kindergarten teacher, thinks she's just what he needs. Their chemistry is instant, and explosive, only Bishop has trouble letting go of his commitment to his country. It's up to Angel to prove there's room for her in his life.


Review:
My Rating = 4 sexy stars


*ARC provided by the author in exchange for my honest review


A wonderful short but sexy read packed with a powerful punch from the first page to the last, sizzling with the heat between the hot navy seal and the not so innocent kindergarten teacher.

Whilst house sitting for her friend and her husband, Angel is abruptly awoken by the sounds of an intruder downstairs. What a sexy shocker she found waiting for her there!

 Bishop is on home leave after six years and decides to surprise his sister and her husband but he ends up surprising her house sitting friend and then himself by his instant reaction to her.

This was a joy to devour one rainy Saturday that left me begging for more, even though this novella was brilliantly paced I just wanted more Bishop – he was so raunchy and Angel was a woman who saw what she liked and took that sweet musclebound looker into her bed. I loved her style!

There was plenty of layers to enrich the reading experience so it wasn’t all between the sheet action (although those bits were hot to read) and I loved the depth of the emotions both released in their fears from their past and of each other with what the feelings evoking would entail for their future.

I would definitely recommend this book if you are looking for a steamy read which hooks you from the start and gives you total fulfilment.

Cover Reveal - Holding Out by Lila Rose

Holding Out Cover



add-to-goodreads-button31
Synopsis
Zara Edgingway is a twenty-six-year-old secretary. She has a daughter that apparently knows-it-all and a best friend that could possibly have the mouth of Satan, but she's been with her through hell and back. Then there's the hunk'a'licious biker neighbour finally showing interest in her.
If only she isn't about to face her next obstacle in life, the one she ran from six years ago: her ex husband.
Talon Marcus is the president of the Hawks Motorcycle Club. For two years he's had his eye on the quiet, reclusive, yet sassy, neighbour Zara. Finally, he has the chance to claim her as his woman. Just when her past catches up with her, she'll need, not only his protection, but the help from his biker brothers.
Now, if only she'd stop fighting him along the way.


Excerpts

Teaser 1:

Unlocking the door and swinging it open, I realized I should have hoped a little harder. Talon stood there looking spunky in dark jeans, a black tee, and motorcycle boots. His hair looked wet from a recent shower, and I wondered if I could blow-dry it for him with my mouth. My traitorous heart leaped, my body tingled, and...what the frig? How'd my underwear get wet already? Wait, had I peed myself? I looked down at the floor. Nope, wasn't wet.

That meant only one thing. “I need to get laid or break out my Gold Finger on maximum speed.”

Deanna burst out laughing, and Talon seemed smug. I looked at them both confused. Oh, hell no. I did not just say that aloud. See! Drinks, Talon, and me. It was a no-go!



Teaser 2:

“I really hate this talkin' shit. I want you as my woman. Long-fuckin'-term. I know we still got a lot’ta shit we need to learn 'bout one another, but that's the best part. For once in my life, I'll try to be patient, for you.”



Teaser 3:

“Kitten, please look at me.”

“Why?”

“So I can tell you how fuckin’ sorry I am. I wish you’d never seen that, ‘cause it will never happen again. And I wish I could take that pained look I saw on your face, those tears that fell from your eyes, and wipe away any hurt you felt.”


Meet the Author

Blog Tour and Giveaway - The Power to See by Jennifer Anne Davis




THE POWER TO SEE
BY JENNIFER ANNE DAVIS



~SYNOPSIS~

At first glance, twenty-two-year-old Brianna’s life seems perfect. But she harbors a deadly secret—her father is the leader of a ruthless drug cartel. Brianna struggles to find her place in a world her father meticulously controls, and believes she is nothing but a pawn in her father’s deadly games.


After graduating from college with an enormous debt, Dominic finds himself lured by money and power into a job that appears too good to be true. He doesn’t realize he works for a drug cartel until he’s in too deep. Trying to keep his family safe, he takes a deal offered by Brianna’s father and agrees to marry Brianna while continuing to work for the cartel.


Brianna and Dominic must rely on one another as their lives become further entwined in the lethal drug world. When Dominic discovers a deadly secret, he begins to question everything and turns to Brianna for support. However, Brianna’s heart belongs to another man—an undercover DEA agent.


The DEA closes in on the drug cartel, forcing Brianna and Dominic to choose sides, igniting a battle between family loyalty, love, and survival. Brianna soon realizes that she may be the only person capable of bringing down her father’s empire—if she can find a way to outsmart the master manipulator, without losing herself, and her heart, in the process.

The Long Version:

I graduated with Department Honors from the University of San Diego with a degree in English. While working to earn my teaching credential, I was a legal assistant for an attorney. That’s about the time I finally married my high school sweetheart. Once I received my credential from USD, I taught high school English until I had my first child.

Currently I am a stay-at-home mom. I have three kids, one large dog, a gecko, and a frog.

A couple of years ago, I entered a writing contest about motherhood and won.  My essay “Caution: Warning Lable Not Included!” was published in the anthology Manual for Motherhood, reaching number one in the Parenting section of Amazon!  This sparked my need to write on a daily basis, and I have been writing ever since!

My debut young adult novel The Voice was published by Lands Atlantic in January 2013. The Voice is nominated for three Novel Grounds Literary Awards: Best Indie, Favorite Five Star, and Best Book Boyfriend!

My second book, The Power to See, is a new adult novel and will be available in October 2013.

My third book, The Key, is a young adult light fantasy novel, and will be available November 16, 2013.

I’ve always had a passion for reading and writing.  Being transported into another world and experiencing things beyond my imagination – what could be better? Besides being an outlet and a love, I hope to write books that encourage all to read.

Excerpt
**Disclaimer: This content is unedited and subject to change**

Copyright © Jessica Ingro

“Fine. Bring me the damn suit,” I grumble begrudgingly.

“You’re the best! You know that?” Kara kisses me chastely. Her father is still there after all.

Bill laughs once Kara bolts up the stairs.

“Laugh now. Next thing you know she’ll make you be my elf!” I threaten good naturedly.

“I’d love to see that,” he says in between chuckles.

“Ah crap!” I pull my hands through my hair, seriously wanting to throw a child-sized temper tantrum at this turn of events.

“Think of it this way, son. It will be good practice for when you have kids. And you’re making those girls’ night.”

“Yeah… alright. I guess I can try to look on the bright side of things,” I concede. The last thing I need is for my soon to be father-in-law to think I’m a big baby.

Kara returns twenty minutes later with a giant red bag. I drag it into the bathroom and take my time changing. Part of me hopes that if I take too long the girls will fall asleep or something. Stranger things have happened.

“It’s Christmas Eve, Jacob. The girls won’t want to fall asleep regardless, so don’t think you can get out of this,” Kara calls through door.

How the hell does she do that? It’s worse than the eyes in the back of her head.

“I’ll be out in a minute,” I yell through the door.

After I velcro the giant pillow onto my belly, I turn to the side and stick my stomach out further, poking at my now enlarged gut. I roll my abdominal muscles making the pillow bounce and ripple. Chuckling at my nonsense, I step into the red, velvet pants. I pull the black suspenders over my shoulder and do a little jig watching as my stomach bounces around.

Apparently this suit sucks the seriousness out of you. Maybe it’s a magic suit…

I stop my musings and proceed to put the jacket on and button it up.

I look damn good in red. Even with a giant stomach.

Next comes the wig and beard, followed by the hat. Now I have absolutely no reason to walk out of this bathroom. Damn.

Opening the door, Kara is the first thing I see. Her face lights up and she graces me with a wide smile. She lifts her arm, and then she does the unthinkable when she snaps a picture with her cell phone.

“Lump of coal for you!” I shout and make like I’m going to attack her. When I lunge for her, she screeches and runs across the room.

Once I catch up with her, she reaches out and rubs red shit on my cheeks. “Really?” I ask not wanting to deal with this shit.

“You are so going to get lucky later,” she mumbles so only I can hear her.

“Damn straight. You owe me one creative session, Sunshine.”

“There is this new position I heard about that I’ve been curious to try.”

“It’s a good thing this suit is big, otherwise my sister would think Santa was a giant perv. What do you think you’re doing telling me that now?” I gripe, knowing my nieces can’t sit on my lap while I’m turned on.

“Sorry. I forget,” she says like that explains it all.

“You’re lucky I love you.” I kiss her forehead and start towards the stairs. “Let’s get this over with.”

Holiday Party Blog Tour Giveaway - Temptation by K M Golland





Temptation by K.M. Golland

Description:


This book is for mature audiences 18+ It contains explicit language and sexual content.

Sometimes being happily married and completely content is not at all what it seems.

That is what 35 year old, happily married, mother of two, Alexis Summers finds out when she decides it is time to return to work. 




After being a stay-at-home mum for the past nine years, Alexis now realises a complete career change is just what she needs.




She becomes a Concierge Attendant in a prestigious hotel in Melbourne working for the owner of the hotel, Bryce Clark. He resides in the penthouse, is extremely hot, and is a man who always gets what he wants. And what he wants is Alexis. 




She does a relatively good job resisting Bryce at first, but the undeniable chemistry, sexual tension, and playfulness between the two of them is intense. He has copious amounts of money, sex appeal and above all else, is a genuinely nice guy. Bryce has been waiting for his one true love to come along, and he is positive that one true love is Alexis.




There is one problem; she is happily married to Rick, and no matter how strong her feelings are for Bryce, she is adamant she will not cheat. She draws a line in the sand, but finds it increasingly hard not to cross. Will she succumb to Temptation?



Excerpt: 
“The Charger is open, hop in,” he said with a smile.

“Really? Argh!” I squealed with delight. If I could have
performed a series of backflips, I would have been tumbling right through the
garage.

I pushed in the button on the handle and opened the door. The
black leather was pristine, and I could pretty much see my reflection in it. I
sat down in the driver’s seat and placed my hands on the steering wheel. It
wasn’t small, thick and chunky like they are made nowadays. It was large, round,
thin, and hard.

I closed my eyes and put my head back while gripping the
wheel. Oh, this is so good. I’m in
Heaven. Almost instantly, I felt Bryce’s hand on my neck, and I couldn’t
help but let out a soft cry of pleasure. Keeping my eyes closed, I felt him
trail his finger up and down my throat.

Opening my mouth as he moved it across my lips, I bit down
gently as he placed it on my tongue. He removed his wet digit from my mouth,
trailed it back down my throat and in between my breasts, where he slipped it
into my bra and gently massaged my nipple. My eyes remained closed and my
breathing became quite ragged. I wanted desperately to open my eyes but
couldn’t—if I had opened them—I would’ve stopped him. It just seemed that closing
my eyes made it acceptable.

He removed his hand from my breast, and the anticipation of
his next touch was simply excruciating. I gripped the steering wheel quite hard
as I waited for him to replace his hand—which he did—at my knee, slowly moving
it up my leg and underneath my skirt. I had stockings on again, and when his
hand reached the bare skin between my legs, I moaned with delight.

He leaned in the door and kissed my wanting mouth, then
continued moving his hand up and underneath my underwear. Automatically, I tilted
my pelvis up to give him easier access. This was my ultimate fantasy, he was my
dream guy and he was about to finger-fuck me in my dream car.

As he touched my soft, sensitive clit, I groaned out loud.
The sensation was unbelievable and more so when he entered me with not one but
two fingers, stretching my inside in a circular motion. Holy Fuck! I’m gone. I arched my back, and my hand—moist with
sweat—slipped from the steering wheel and landed on the horn. The loud beep
forced me to open my eyes, and I was jolted back into reality, recognizing I
had just had another daydream. Shit,
Alexis, not again. 

I quickly gathered my bearings and this time, I found that
Bryce really was at the window. I was perspiring and literally coming down from
a climax. I was hot and wanting, and my chest was heaving. I threw him a look
of lust, which didn’t go unnoticed as I opened the door of the Charger, forcing
him to step back. I got out of the car and stood with my back against it. Bryce
was leaning against the Bel Air, staring at me. I couldn’t do or say anything,
what I’d just experienced in my reverie was so overpowering, I had no control
whatsoever.

His hands were splayed on the door panel, and I noticed them
both arch and tense up. The look he directed me asked one thing and I couldn’t
refuse.
“Yes,” I sighed in surrender.

Expecting him to pounce as his body language suggested it,
instead I watched as he moved slowly and with deliberate control. It was so
fucking sexy, and it just added to my already uncontrollable need for him. He
grabbed my face and kissed me with such passion that I nearly convulsed on the
spot.

I gave in to the kiss, feeling that I needed to and owing us
both the experience of it being consensual. He broke off momentarily and looked
into my eyes, and when I didn’t protest, he kissed me again but with more
lustful aggression. His hands fell to my arse where he gripped me and lifted me
up. I wrapped my legs around his waist, once again. I’m sure I told him about an hour ago, this would never happen.

He placed me down on the bonnet and laid me back. Fuck me! I’m going to have sex with him on
the bonnet! No. No. No, you’re not, Alexis. He hovered over me and ran his
hands up my legs, pushing my skirt up and exposing my garter, stockings, and underwear.

“Fuck, Alexis, you’re so beautiful,” he professed as he
rubbed his hands up my thighs. Then, grabbing hold of my underwear, he tore
them apart. Oh shit, that was hot!

I was so vulnerable, lying their spreadeagled on his Charger
bonnet with nothing to cover my wet pussy.

Slowly, he moved forward, not taking his eyes from me, and
that’s when I stopped him. “No, I can’t,” I cautiously sighed.

He froze with my hands resting on his shoulders and his head
only a foot away from its target. He didn’t argue with me, nor was he pissed
off—well he probably was, I know I was. Instead, he gave me his hand and helped
me sit up.

“I’m sorry, Bryce, I want to. Fuck do I want to—but I just
can’t do that, it goes against everything I stand for. I could never do anything
like that behind Rick’s back.”
“I understand, Alexis.”

Now sitting on the edge of the bonnet with my legs still
wrapped around him, I buried my face in my hands. “How could you possibly
understand? Even I don’t understand what’s going on here. What are we going to
do? I can’t keep doing this to Rick, and I can’t keep doing this to you or me
either for that matter.”

He pulled me to his chest. “I understand you have morals and
have made vows you don’t want to break. I respect that, I truly do. It just
makes you even more desirable.”
“Fat lot of good that does you.”

He kissed the top of my head. “There’s always a way, Alexis.
You don’t get to where I am in life without being resourceful or thinking
outside the box. If you won’t give yourself to me behind Rick’s back, then
we’ll get his permission.”


I’m sorry, what?
