From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the With Me in Seattle Series comes the end of a saga…

Dominic Salvatore seemingly has everything a man could want. He’s found a new relationship with his father and the entire Montgomery family. His vineyard, Cuppa di Vita, is a success. There’s only one thing that eludes him: a certain driven, intelligent, and sexy as hell blonde named Alecia.

Alecia works tirelessly building her event planning business. It’s the most important part of her life. Despite the beautiful, lavish weddings she organizes, Alecia is convinced that the idea of true love is a myth. While Dominic is a sexy, intriguing man, welcoming the handsome Italian into her bed, and her life, is a risk she’s not so sure she’s willing to take.

However Dominic isn’t used to taking no for an answer, and it’s not long before these two are burning up the sheets and discovering a connection that neither can deny. But will it be strong enough to last forever?

“I’m going to eventually make you understand how amazing you are, tesoro.” – Dominic Salvatore

“You know what rhymes with drunk?” Sam asks. “Sex!”

“Nuh uh,” Meredith replies with a frown. “But fuck does!”

“Drunk and fuck do not rhyme,” Mark says with a surprised laugh.

“It’s closer than sex,” she says defensively.

“Everything rhymes with sex when you get to have it with an apa,” Jules says.

“Julianne,” Nate warns her.

“It’s true!”

“What’s that like, anyway? I’ve always wanted to know.”

“You can’t have sex with my husband.” Jules frowns for a second, then a smile spreads over her gorgeous face. “Well, maybe you can.”

“No,” Nate replies quietly, “she can’t. No offense, Alecia.”

“None taken.” I grin at the crazy-hot man. “You’re hot as fuck, though.”

“He really is,” Jules agrees happily. “And the apa…wow.”

“Will you get one?” I ask Dominic, just as he takes a sip of wine, and he immediately chokes.

“Fuck no.”

“Maybe I’ll have to find someone with one,” I say thoughtfully. “Just to give it a try.”

“That’s it.” Dominic stands with me in his arms and doesn’t even set me down as he begins to stalk out of the tent.

“Where are we going?” I look over his shoulder and see the others laughing and watching us leave. I wave happily and they all wave back.

They’re so friendly.

“I’m going to teach you a lesson, tesoro.”

“A lesson?” I giggle and bury my nose in his neck, breathing him in. “I’m kind of dizzy.”

We pass by the barn. I can hear voices, heavy breathing and Meg giggling.

“I think we found Meg and Will,” I whisper into Dom’s ear, as he hurries past.

Merde, I didn’t need to ever hear that,” Dominic grumbles, making me giggle more. He strides around the store building, where I stood a few hours ago with Jules and Natalie, sets me on my feet, and pins me against the wall.

“I dare you,” he begins with fire in his bright blue eyes, “to say again that you’re going to go find another man to fuck.”

“Um, it was a joke, babe.”

His eyes narrow and his nostrils flare, and I know I’m in big trouble.

“Are you jealous?” I ask incredulously.

“Not usually,” he says. “I’m not the jealous type, but what’s mine is mine, Alecia. And you’re mine. What I have with you, I don’t want with anyone else. You’re all I fucking think about.”

He’s gathering my skirt in his hands until it’s bunched around my waist, and he slips his finger inside the elastic of the crotch of my panties and brushes the lips of my pussy, making me gasp.

“Dom!”

“That’s right.” He bites my lower lip, then soothes it with his tongue and pushes his finger farther into my panties. “Me. I’m the only one who can touch you here, or anywhere. This is mine.”

The King (The Original Sinners #6) - Tiffany Reisz


Cunning. Sex. Pure nerve. Only this potent threesome can raise him to his rightful place as ruler of Manhattan's kink kingdom.

Bouncing from bed to bed on the Upper East Side—handsomely paid in both bills and blackmail fodder—Kingsley Edge is brilliant, beautiful and utterly debauched. No carnal act or chemical compound can relieve his self-destructive apathy—only Søren, the one person he loves without limit or regret. A man he can never have, but in whose hands Kingsley is reborn to attain even greater heights of sin. He plans to open the ultimate BDSM club­: a dungeon playground for New York's A-list that'll change the scene forever.
The club becomes Kingsley's obsession—and he's enlisted some tough-as-nails help. His new assistant Sam is smart, secretive and totally immune to seduction (by men, at least). She and Kingsley make a wicked team. Still, their combined—and considerable—expertise in domination can't subdue the man who would kill their dream. The enigmatic Reverend Fuller won't rest until King's dream is destroyed. It's one man's sacred mission against another's….







I have read The Original Sinners Series:  The Red Years and The White Years installments up to this date.  While reading each book I have thought to myself, this one is my favorite!  

The King, Reisz’s latest addition to The White Years is my favorite!  The King, a.k.a. Kingsley Theophilè Boissonneault has always had a piece of my heart-- but now he is Mon Roi, and I am a happy sinner.



Reisz’s sense of humor has always been prize; however, in The King, it is phenomenal!  It is especially evident in the banter between Søren and Kingsley.  One of my favorite scenes begins on page 73.  No spoilers for you, here- but I was on my knees laughing!  When King dons a corset, and Reisz gives a nod to The Rocky Horror Picture Show, I could practically hear the lyrics to Sweet Transvestite.   If I could wish fictional characters real, Søren and Kingsley would be first on my list.
The King takes us back to a time when Kingsley is lost-- his thoughts and thus his life are spiraling out of control.  At this time, Elenore is just a young girl, however; her presence in the story is extremely important.  It is during this time, and with Søren’s guidance, that Kingsley unearths his own calling in life and follows his dream.



As much as we already know, love and understand King and Søren, with this edition to The White Years, Reisz gives us dimensions and layers to both of their personalities that are insightful, loving, charming, sexy and of course complicated and scrupulous.  We learn secrets about these two men, along with the depth of their true love and friendship for each other.  We also learn about Sam, King’s assistant, in the beginning.  She is strong, capable, and oh so interesting.


As only Tiffany Reisz can do, she has given us more of the world where kink and Catholicism are a match made in heaven, or maybe just the Eighth Circle.  She kind of makes me want to go to hell!


“It breaks my heart to see you like this.” “I don’t believe that. I don’t believe you have a heart.” 

“It isn’t that I don’t like you,” Søren said with a playful sigh. “It’s only I like me so much more than I like you that, in comparison, it looks like I dislike you.”  
 “If it makes you feel any better,” Søren said, “the wolf is still there, but he’s on a stronger leash.” “You let the wolf off the leash with me.” “Which is why I needed a stronger leash.” 

 “Have you ever had sex in the back of a Rolls Royce?” Kingsley asked, trying not to rip Søren’s shirt in his rush to unbutton it. He needed Søren’s skin on his skin right now. “No,” Søren said. “But ask me that question again in an hour.” 

 “You do have unusually dark eyelashes for a blond,” Sam said, studying Søren. “How do you do it?” Søren answered, “Mascara.” 

The Red Years Quartet (The adventures of Nora Sutherlin, Dominant and erotica writer)

2-The Angel
3-The Prince
4-The Mistress

The White Years Quartet (The adventures of Eleanor Schreiber, submissive)

5-The Saint
6-The King
7-The Virgin
8-The Queen

*from authors website on reading order*

I have so many novellas and free stories that it can get confusing. Let me clear things up. Note, you do not have to read the books in this order. This is merely my suggested order.

#1- The Siren - full-length novel (always read this first before anything else)

#2- Griffin in Wonderland and Little Red Riding Crop - free reads on the blog

#3- The Angel - full-length novel

#4 - Seven Day Loan/The Gift - eBook novella (Amazon, BN, eHarlequin, Sony , etc)

#5- The Prince - full-length novel

#6- Daniel Part 2 & A Christmas Maggie - free reads on the blog

#7- Submit to Desire & Immersed in Pleasure - eBook novella (Amazon, BN, eHarlequin, Sony , etc)

#8- Every other free read in any order that turns you on. You'll want to read The Mitzvah and The Teacher before The Mistress (full-length novel #4) comes out so you can get to know Grace Easton better as she is one of the main characters in that book.

#9- The Mistress - full-length novel

We good? As long as you read The Siren, The Angel, The Prince in that order, you'll be fine. This reading order for the rest of the series' stories is simply my suggestion. The only wrong way to read The Original Sinners is to not read them at all (PS It's also grammatically correct in English to JOYFULLY split infinitives. Grammar Nazis can suck it).

Love,
Tiffany

PLAYED - Lilliana Anderson

Today we have the cover reveal for Lilliana Anderson’s Played. I am so excited to bring you this exciting book one in the Fire & Lies series! Check out the gorgeous cover and exclusive excerpt from Lilliana!




Title: Played (Fire & Lies, #1)

Author: Lilliana Anderson

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Release Day: December 30, 2014

played small



Be careful whom you trust…

It’s something I thought I knew but with Chloe Donovan, all of my reasons seems to fly out the window the moment I’m around her.

Blinded by lust, persuaded by love. I hedged my bets on our forever. Twice. And both times, I lost. She’s gone. And once again, she’s ruined my life.

Stuck helping a federal agent by the name of Drake Jefferson, I’m biding my time until I can find where she is.

I won’t be giving up my partner in crime to the authorities. I’ll be dealing out my own brand of justice, and when I’m done, I don’t care if I rot in prison for it.

Chloe Donovan had better start sleeping with one eye open. Because I’m coming for her.

She played me.

I let her in, and she played me. If she sees me. She’d better run.

I won’t be trusting her a third time.



“Holy shit, Aiden,” Chloe gasps as she flicks the lounge room light on and finds me sitting on her couch. “You shouldn’t have come here.”

Slowly, my eyes travel over her body, taking in every part of her that I’ve loved with such intensity, that I still have the urge to go to her and reclaim her as mine. But I stay where I am–the wound in my chest seems to ache at the sight of her. It’s as if it’s reminding me of who she is and what she’s capable of.

Staying silent, I watch her place her handbag and keys on the side table as she reaches down to take off her heels and pushes them against the wall with her stockinged feet.

“Can I get you a drink before you head off?” she asks, as if me breaking into her house and waiting for her in a darkened room is something that happens between us every day.

As if seeing the man who wants an explanation as to why she double-crossed him is something that happens every day.

Studying her as she heads to the kitchen and takes two beers out of the refrigerator, I have to wonder if she’s some sort of sociopath. She shows little emotion at the sight of me, which is shit, because I’m feeling a whole range of emotions at the sight of her…

She stands in front of me and holds a beer out, and I set my jaw, looking up at her but refusing to take it. Pressing her lips together, she withdraws the bottle and leans to the side to place it on the chrome and glass lamp table beside me.

“You’re angry with me,” she states, taking a seat across from me as she crosses her legs and smooths out the length of her skirt.

“More than angry, Chloe. There isn’t even a word for how I’m feeling toward you.”

She nods and places her bottle on the table next to her, keeping her eyes on mine. Watching me. Gauging what I’m about to do. Why is she so damn calm? She should be scared as fuck at the sight of me after what she did.

“Is my life in danger?”

“That depends.”

“On what?”

“On what your answers are.”

“Ok.”

“You shot me in the chest.”

“I did.”

“I know how good a shot you are.”

She nods, waiting for me to continue, although I’m sure she knows exactly what my question is.

“Why didn’t you kill me?”

Selah Kilbrid may descend from the goddess Brigid, but her heart beats—and breaks—the same as any human. Yet enduring the scorn of London's most noble lords and ladies is a small price to pay for a chance at true happiness.

But when a captivating young gentleman draws Selah into a world shadowed by secrets, she is forced to confront her darkest fears. What if some differences are too great to overcome and a future with Henry is doomed from the start?

With these doubts threatening her impending marriage and the very last of Brigid's fire draining from her soul, a violent attack on an innocent child pushes Selah to the very edge of her power.

Goddess Born:


KariEdgren-199x300

Kari Edgren did not dream of becoming a writer. Instead, she dreamed of everything else and was often made to stay inside during kindergarten recess to practice her letters. Despite doting parents and a decent school system, Ms. Edgren managed to make it through elementary school having completed only one book cover to cover – The Box Car Children, which she read approximately forty-seven times. Things improved during high school, but not until she read Gabrielle Garcia Marquez’s One Hundred Years of Solitude in college, did she truly understand the power of a book.

Ms. Edgren aspires to be a Vulcan, a world-acclaimed opera singer, and two inches taller. She resides in the Pacific NW where she spends a great deal of time torturing her husband and children with strange food and random historical facts. Ms. Edgren hasn’t stopped dreaming, but has finally mastered her letters enough to put the stories on paper.

Inside Out - Off the Map # 3 - Lia Riley



OFF THE MAP #1


If You Never Get Lost, You’ll Never Be Found


Twenty-one-year-old Natalia Stolfi is saying good-bye to the past-and turning her life upside down with a trip to the land down under. For the next six months, she'll act like a carefree exchange student, not a girl sinking under the weight of painful memories. Everything is going according to plan until she meets a brooding surfer with hypnotic green eyes and the troubling ability to see straight through her act.



Bran Lockhart is having the worst year on record. After the girl of his dreams turned into a nightmare, he moved back home to Melbourne to piece his life together. Yet no amount of disappointment could blind him to the pretty California girl who gets past all his defenses. He's never wanted anyone the way he wants Talia. But when Bran gets a stark reminder of why he stopped believing in love, he and Talia must decide if what they have is once in a lifetime . . . or if they were meant to live a world apart.





OFF THE MAP # 2


It was only meant to last the summer . . .



Talia Stolfi has seen more than her share of loss in her twenty-one years. But then fate brought her Bran Lockhart, and her dark world was suddenly and spectacularly illuminated. So if being with Bran means leaving her colorless NorCal life for rugged and wild Australia, then that’s what she’ll do. But as much as Talia longs to give herself over completely to a new beginning, the fears of her past are still lurking in the shadows.



Bran Lockhart knows that living without the beautiful girl who stole his heart will be torment, so he’ll take whatever time with her he can. But even though she has packed up her life in California and is back in his arms for the time being, she can’t stay forever. And the remaining time they have together is ticking by way too fast. Though fate seems determined to tear them apart, they won’t give up without a fight—because while time may have limits, their love is infinite . . . 









OFF THE MAP # 3


When Talia first moved from California to Australia to study abroad, she never dreamed she'd find the love of her life. Bran understands her like no one ever has before. And despite the numerous challenges they've faced, they've always managed to figure out how to stay together. But this time they'll face their toughest hurdle yet. Is their love strong enough to keep them together?

Inside Out è l'ultimo capitolo della serie Off the Map di Lia Riley.
Confesso di non aver letto i primi due romanzi, ma non è stato difficile capire dove erano rimasti i due personaggi principali, Natalia e Bran al termine del secondo libro, o come era nata la loro storia raccontata nel primo.
Prima di iniziare con la recensione, è importate avvisarvi della presenza di SPOILERS, per questo ho pensato fosse saggio inserire all'inizio di questo post le trame dei romanzi precedenti.

Quando tutto sembra essere deciso e prevedibile, può essere divertente e coraggioso provare a cambiare strada, invece che percorrere quella che ci troviamo davanti a noi. Si possono fare delle interessanti avventure, conoscere persone nuove e, perché no, cambiare per sempre il corso della nostra vita! 


Natalia ha deciso di entrare a far parte dei Peace Corps in Africa, come insegnante di inglese in scuole disagiate per bambini con scarse possibilità di un futuro. E' per questa ragione che ha deciso di fare il grande passo, fare qualcosa per cambiare la situazione attuale. Mettersi in prima linea per portare a termine un cambiamento sostanziale che potesse confermarle le sue capacità. Levare per sempre l'etichetta d'inetta che si era appiccicata da sola sulla fronte.

I think deep down inside I believed something would shift in me, in my life, like I'd wake one moring and it would be a whole new world. Instead, I'm still me. Just here, in Africa, teaching English as a second language in a rural school.

Durante il suo soggiorno però qualcosa di brutto accade, contrae la malaria ed è costretta a tornare a casa, non dopo aver rischiato seriamente di perdere la vita. Una volta scampato pericolo e ricevuto il nulla osta a partire da parte dei medici, torna in California. Ma non ci torna da sola. Bran, che si trovava in in mezzo all'oceano a salvare le balene, ha lasciato tutto e tutti per starle accanto. C'è stato un momento in cui la paura per i sentimenti che prova per Natalia l'avevano convinto che fosse stato meglio separarsi, ripensandoci poco dopo e chiedendole una seconda opportunità. La ragazza, innamorata di Bran alla follia, non ha potuto negargliela anche se consapevole che servirà del tempo per sistemare le cose tra loro. 

I've seen Bran at his worst, know his best, and somehow reconcile the two.He's brody, unpredicable, and twists my brain like a preztel, but my love for him isn't a word, it's an involuntary, instinctive act, like breathing. Our connection is the one thing I trust in this far-too-fragile world.

Questa volta Bran prova un diverso tipo di paura, che gli aprirà gli occhi sulla vera forza dei suoi sentimenti.
I remember the sucker punch in my solar plexus when I learned a mosquito infected Talia with malaria's worst strain, plasmodium falciparum.
I love Talia more than my next breath, and I hurt her worse than any enemy. I can't do that again. Her place is in the sun.
My lips cover hers, and then she's returning my kiss with such fierceness my breath stops and I hear colors. Our bodies entwine and I inhale deep like she's a wildflower that blooms only for me as my fingers trace the delicate skin beneath her jaw. Each touch is an ode, a secret sonnet, composed just for her. I caress in lieu of words, want to give her myself at my most basic-my body-blood and bones. Everything, every damn thing I am, or ever will be, is hers now and forever.  

Tornati in California insieme, devono affrontare non pochi problemi. Innanzitutto, non avendo altro posto dove stare, si ritrovano a condividere la casa del padre di Natalia e della nuova compagnia incinta di 8 mesi, sono entrambi senza lavoro e confusi su come fare a trovare una soluzione.
Natalia affronta un periodo di forte depressione in quanto si sente sconfitta per non essere riuscita a portare a termine il suo impegno in Africa. Insicura di natura, ha cercato di affrontare ogni sua paura ed insicurezza mettendosi alla prova imbarcandosi in questa enorme avventura. contrarre la malaria non era ovviamente  nei piani. Trovare la forza per rialzarsi, capire cosa fare della sua vita, non sarà semplice. Tra alti e bassi, momenti di sconforto e di entusiasmo, troverà anche lei la sua strada anche se questo significherà andare fuori dal percorso prestabilito dalla Mappa.

Bran, è di Melbourne quindi molto lontano da casa, ma non ha nessuna intenzione di abbandonare Natalia da sola. L'errore di averla lasciata andare è stato già fatto una volta e non vuole, e deve, ripetersi. E' faticoso starle acconto, sopratutto le prime settimane di rientro dall'Africa, quando per Natalia niente si sarebbe sistemato, e il suo fallimento non poteva essere dimenticato. Ma questo non lo demoralizza, le sarebbe stato accanto e dimostrato che persona magnifica, stupenda e in gamba fosse. 

After all she's been through , I want her feeling safe, adored, to understand no matter how bad her darkness gets, I will always believe in her light. I don't speak these words though. Sometimes, touch makes for better communication. Words only go so far.

In questo periodo, Bran si rende conto di quanto sia giusta per lui questa ragazza. La paura degli errori del passato non devono impedirgli di vivere accanto a Natalia e apprezzare quotidianamente la sua bellezza. Anche per lui ci sarà un percorso interiore da intraprendere, verso la consapevolezza e accettazione dell'amore e dei sacrifici che esso comporta.

No matter how much stupid shit I've done in my life, I've done something right to earn this girl. She makes me feel thinks I never knew I was capable of. My heart was a geode. Plain. Gray. Cold. Hard. She drove her sweet blade into my center until I craked and discovered a hidden beauty. 

Per quanto si tratti di una serie di romanzi New Adult, si potrebbero anche classificare come romanzi romance di formazione. Leggiamo in modo accurato e a tratti poetico di come crescono i nostri protagonisti, ognuno con le loro insicurezze e demoni da affrontare. Con la perfetta dose di passione e numerosi, forse anche troppi secondo la mia opinione, capitoli di aiuto analisi, giungiamo infine alla più perfetta delle conclusioni.
Lo stile della scrittrice è a dir poco strepitoso, spesso utilizza similitudini che sfiorano la poesia, mai letto niente di simile. 
E' con piacere che ho scoperto, solo recentemente, che i diritti del primo romanzo sono stati acquistati dalla Newton Compton Editori, non ci sono ancora informazioni dettagliate sull'uscita prevista in Italia, si sa solo che il titolo sarà " ho imparato ad amare", vedremo che cosa ne sarà della bella copertina della versione originale. Ringrazio il blog Insaziabili letture per questa informazione.
Sono davvero lieta di questa notizia, perché è una serie molto valida e il pubblico italiano merita di poterne godere, tanto quanto quello straniero.


You'll never believe such beauty exists-not really-not unless you have the guts to brave life, go off the map, and find your own way there.

JenniferProbstSneakPeak_New_1



This is NOT a book, but a compilation of covers, author’s notes and sample chapters taken from the incredible career of NY Times Bestselling Author of The Marriage to a Billionaire Series, Jennifer Probst.

I’ve believed in love and happy endings since I was young.

It never came easy. It took me twenty years of nonstop work and dreams before I became a full time writer. I had to defend not only my love for the written word, and my non-practical career choice, but also my fierce respect and passion for the romance genre.

No matter. I let no one sway me from my path. Is it so wrong to believe in hope? To understand it’s not about these stories all containing what critics deem a formulaic ending, but the unique journey of each book and characters we create and meet to push us, change us, and allow us to reach for something more?

That’s the type of writer I wanted to be. That’s the type of books I wanted to write.

There’s humor in everything I write. Sometimes a bit zany, sometimes laugh out loud, and sometimes so subtle it’s like a brush of a kiss across a cheek. Barely there. But I believe humor is one important aspect I use to make sense out of events and shine a flicker of light into a dark corner.

Darker Water - Once and Forever #1 - Lauren Stewart

Once and Forever will be a series of at least seven standalone contemporary romances. Each story uses a theme or symbol from a fairytale, but only as a starting point. Because while fairytales aren't real, love is.


*** Darker Water is a stand-alone contemporary romance that does not end in a cliffhanger.
