Seduced - A Prequel to Beautiful Rose by Missy Johnson With REVIEW

Synopsis

Twenty-five year old Jack Falcon doesn’t do relationships, and why would he when he has woman after woman literally throwing themselves at him? For Jack, life is perfect just the way it is. He works hard and he plays harder.

Jack’s life changes when he meets Belle. Unlike any woman he’s ever met, there is something about this girl that makes him unable to keep away, something beyond the youthful beauty and her innocent spirit. Belle is strong and independent, a big leap from the usual brainless chicks he tends to attract.

Jack begins a dangerous game. He is determined to seduce Belle, and without realizing it, his feelings for her develop beyond anything he has ever felt before. Things become complicated when he learns there are good reasons as to why he should stay the hell away from her.

How can you stay away from someone you want to spend every waking minute with? And what do you do when you know eventually you will destroy that person?

As their feelings for each other deepen, Jack struggles with his own internal demons which threaten to rip them apart. Jack is torn between following his heart and listening to his head, which keeps telling him he is not good enough for her. She deserves better than what he can give her.

How far will he push before they both fall over the edge?

Excerpt

“So I’m about to leave, and the question is, are you going to be leaving with me?” I downed the last of my drink and stood up, as if I didn’t care either way. This was easy to do because I really couldn’t care less whether she came with me or not. She opened her mouth, both shocked and aroused by my forwardness.

“You better shut that pretty little mouth, honey, or I’ll give you something to stick in there,” I grinned. I put out my hand, half expecting her to right hook me in the face. “Coming?” I asked. She took it uncertainly, allowing me to help her up. I suppressed a laugh, not wanting to be rude, but I couldn’t believe that line had actually worked!

“Do I get to know your name?” she asked breathlessly. I smirked at her, not believing for a second she didn’t know who I was. Everyone knew who Jack Falcon was. Pretending not to recognize me was like pretending not to know who the Queen was.

“Does it matter?” I asked, raising my eyebrows.

“I guess not,” she stammered, following me out the door. It always amazed me how easily they followed.

REVIEW:
By: Wendy
4 Stars

Jack Falcon is Britain's most eligible bachelor. He has money, looks, and a lack of morals. He is known for his womanizing ways, but women still throw themselves at his feet. Jack makes no apologies for his behavior. Until he meets Belle. She seems impervious to his charms and soon Jack finds himself chasing her. They soon find themselves in a intense relationship and when they find out how they are connected, how can it continue?
This story is told from Jack's POV and at first I didn't like Jack very much. He is your typical egotistical a-hole manwhore. He doesn't care about what people think. He does what he wants, when he wants. I really loved that he got a taste of his own medicine with Belle. Belle was the first person to ever walk away and leave the player played. As things are revealed Jack began to chip away at my resolve where he was concerned. The book definitely has some toe curling hot, hot, hot scenes, but also has some emotionally intense ones that left me a blubbering mess by the end. I really ran the gambit of emotions with this one and want to see where this story leads...

Darkest Dawn by E.I Jennings with Excerpt & GIVEAWAY

The day has finally arrived...welcome everyone to Darkest Dawn and the darkness...

Book – Darkest Dawn – Book Two in The Jessica Dawn Series

Author – E.I Jennings

Genre –Paranormal Erotica

Release Date – 31^st August 2013

Book Synopsis

The Darkest Days are finally upon us and the Daughters of
Eve shall rise again. 

Jess sacrificed herself for the people she loved but she now
has to pay the consequences for her actions because something dark is coming
and it is heading straight for her. She really did not think her life could get
any more complicated but when another tall dark stranger walks back into her
life she realises she has a decision to make. All she wants is for everyone to
leave her alone and let her live the life she thought she once had but things
are getting out of control fast. The love she has for Reuban can only ground
her for so long and her anger is beginning to spiral out of control. If she
tells him how she really feels she could lose him forever or get him killed and
that is a risk she could never forgive herself for. 

The Council have accepted her for what she is but has she?
There is a huge possibility everyone she loves is going to die if she stays,
but if she walks away she will have to leave the love of her life behind and
that would rip her soul apart.

The only way out is to work with the one person she hates
more than anything in this world and that was going to take a lot of
self-restraint if she was going to get through this nightmare without killing
him.

Reuban can see the torment within Jess and it is breaking
his heart. He would do anything to ease her pain even if it meant letting her
walk away, destroying him in the process. His only hope is to seek guidance
from Brigate and finally understand the true meaning of Megan's Prophecy. It
started with a Prophecy and it is there he will find the truth and it is a
secret that could tear the Council to pieces.

A fractured alliance will be formed again with a new
generation of warriors and Jess is at its centre. The war is about to begin and
a destiny will finally be fulfilled!

Exclusive Teaser:
Death & Maria…

I stood staring through the glass partition when I saw that
ginger Empath look up and storm in my direction.  I rolled my eyes and sighed.  Why did I always have to receive abuse from
women?  Civilisations had bowed down to
me in fear and now I couldn’t even scare a stupid Empath!

“What the hell do you think you’re doin?”  She was stood in my way with her hand on her
hips and it was taking all of my self-control not to move her out of the
way.  Jess was obviously feeling elated
because her wings were fully outstretched,

“I’M GOING TO SEE MY DAUGHTER, NOT THAT IT’S ANY OF YOUR
BUSINESS!” I frowned,

“And you can cut that out right now!”  And now the silly woman was pouting and
tapping her foot.  This will not do at
all!

“DO YOU NOT KNOW WHO I AM YOU SILLY CREATURE?” I
bellowed.  That should have scared her
but I watched in amazement when she looped her arm in mine and turned us
around.  I found myself looking over my
shoulder at Jess kissing her wolf while I was being manhandled by a woman,

“Yadda, yadda, yadda, I know exactly who you are and if you
call me a stupid ginger Empath once more I’m slapping your face.  Oh and you can pack that stupid voice in as
well.  It doesn’t work on me when Jess
does it and it sure as hell won’t work coming from Death, so you can just stop
it!”

“HOW DARE YOU SPEAK…”

“Seriously!  When was
the last time you spoke normal?  I’m
betting you didn’t speak to Eve like that, in fact I bet you were all hearts
and flowers before you knocked her up?” she interrupted.  If she wasn’t careful I would judge her right
here.  How dare she speak to me in this
manner!

“HOW…”  Heavens above,
she was interrupting me again!  She
stopped and stood in front of me placing her hand on my arm,

“Look cut the crap!  I
can feel how worried you are for Jess so be her father for once and not a ‘know
it all’ celestial being.  Her voice
scares the shit out of her and I’m guessing you had a hand in saving her again
so please try and be normal for her.”

“LOOK…” I coughed.  I
couldn’t believe a stupid ginger Empath was making me change my voice but here
I was doing just that, “…she is my daughter and I couldn’t let her die so I
helped her along a little.  Not that it’s
any of your business might I add!” I sighed,

“The name is Maria by the way, NOT the stupid ginger Empath!  Jess is ok but she will need time to come to
terms with the fact you’re here.  When
Eve died it destroyed her and she’s felt alone ever since.  Deep down she doesn’t even hate you, she
regrets not knowing you and so barging in there isn’t going to do you any
good.  I have no idea what you’re doing
here because Jess isn’t ready and you have incredibly shit timing!” she pouted,

“I am here to protect my daughter from the approaching
darkness and if I go back now Evelyn will have my balls!”  I seemed to have an uncontrollable urge to
talk to this woman and it was annoying.

“Excuse me, Evelyn?” she questioned looking puzzled.  Of course, she wouldn’t know Evelyn was in
the mists with me,

“Yes Evelyn, my wife and Jess’ mother.  She would not be pleased if I simply ran back
home without trying to help our daughter!” I scowled,

“Eve is with you?” she said astonished,

“Yes.  Has anyone told
you that you’re nosey for a crossbreed?” I said raising an eyebrow,

“But she died?”

“Yes indeed she did!”
Maria was starting to try my patience,

“And you didn’t judge her?”
Her voice was sounding an octave higher probably from the shock,

“It was not my place to!”

“Because she was your wife?”

“ENOUGH WITH THE QUESTIONS!
EVELYN IS NOT YOUR CONCERN AND NEITHER IS JESS.  IF YOU DO NOT STEP OUT OF MY WAY I WILL SMITE
YOU!” I bellowed shacking the light fittings.
I stood in absolute horror when the stupid ginger Empath started
laughing,

“Oh...sorry…wait…can’t breathe…oh God…smite!” she snorted
and I raised an eyebrow.  It was no wonder
Bunny and Jess liked this woman because she was insane,

“Will you stop laughing?”
Even I was starting to smile,

“I swear if you call me a stupid ginger Empath once more…I
mean it!  You know Eve was my friend and
it was my job to protect her.  I’m now friends
with Jess and if you think I’m gonna let you stroll in there and upset her
after she’s been asleep for six weeks you really have another thing
coming!  You may be a scary Archangel but
you’re also a father and it’s about time you stepped up to your
responsibilities.  I promise you that
once she is a little more stable I will take great pleasure in introducing you
but for now just let her have a little time with the man she loves, please.”

Savin' Me (Heat Wave Book #1)

One step away from the coveted Vice Presidency of her firm, the last thing Kat Owens needs is the distraction of a man. Her client, Erik Monteague, disagrees. He’s charming, sexy, seductive, and impossible to ignore or refuse. After succumbing to his advances, Kat’s forced to choose between her career and the man she’s fallen for... while knowing even her love might not be enough to save him from self-destructing.

While Erik’s perfectly executed seduction gets Kat into his bed, the end result is more than he bargained for. Having spent the past ten years wallowing in guilt and self-loathing over his fiancée’s tragic death, falling in love is unacceptable. However, Kat’s passionate, loving nature dissolves the carefully constructed walls guarding his heart, forcing him to face his tragic past and make a decision... spend the rest of his life running, or risk being devastated by love again?
I think that's everything. :-D I would love to get my blog set up with the additional pages so that it functions more like a website and we're able to make these changes easily there. I just haven't had time to sit down and figure it all out. It's on my mile-long to-do list, though, so maybe one of these days I'll get that figured out.

Please be advised, “Savin’ Me” contains adult language and adult situations and is not suitable for young readers.

Last Call(Heat Wave #2)

Gavin McLeod is a man who has it all. His corporate climb has positioned him as the next CEO at Holden Enterprises. He’s financially stable, allowing him to provide for the grandfather who raised him, and his successful seduction of the sexy bartender last night proves his private life is also on fire. Until the alluring woman in his arms turns out to be a serious road-block to his future. One that could bring everything he's worked for crashing down around him.

Sunny Black has spent her entire life tending to the needs of others, caring for her younger brother since she was ten, and serving bar patrons night after night. For the first time in years, she thinks of herself and gives in to her body’s demands, taking a trip to the wild side with a customer whose raw sexuality is too strong to deny. The next morning, however, she learns that in addition to rocking her world, the stranger might cause it to crumble.

A game of sexual seduction and corporate chess ensues, with neither Gavin nor Sunny realizing the ending could come in the form of a permanent check-mate.

Crossing Lines(Heat Wave Book #3)

The world’s best-stocked toy drawer can only take a gal so far. Bored with her current assortment of vibrating, plastic pieces, Sam Wallace decides to add a new sex toy to her collection: Kevin Mazze. The sexy Italian is more than happy to help her live out her long-held sexual fantasies, and trusting him with her body is easy. Trusting him with her heart, however, is not… especially when he commits an unforgiveable sin.

Kevin Mazze is one of the good guys. He’s spent his life always doing the right things and making those around him happy. When he meets the woman of his dreams, at the worst possible time, he finds himself making bad choices in the name of good and crossing lines he never thought he would… while praying she never finds out.

Please be advised, “Crossing Lines” contains adult language and adult situations and is not suitable for young readers.

Save Me by L J Baker with GIVEAWAY

BLURB

Andi was
doing just fine on her own. Sure the world had been hit with an outbreak that
turned anyone infected into flesh eating zombies. Not to mention that everyone
she ever loved was now dead. She was alive though, taking care of herself. She
had little desire to indulge in building relationships with anyone. People just
couldn't be trusted. Whether they screwed you over intentionally, or just
managed to get themselves killed, no one stuck around for very long. She didn't
need anyone else either. That was until Will showed up to save her.

Will, with
his sparkling green eyes, lips you just wanted to taste, and insanely adorable
crooked smile, wasn't letting Andi get rid of him so easily. Yet still, Andi
did everything she could to push her feelings, and Will, away. The more time
they spent together though, the more difficult that became. In a world where
another day was not something you could count on, wasting even a single moment,
could mean missing out on your only chance for happiness.

EXCERPT

When Dan emerged from the bathroom
showered and freshly shaved, he was unrecognizable. If I wasn't positive that
no one else was in the basement, I would have swore it was a completely
different person. He shaved off the beard entirely and trimmed his hair to a
manageable mop of dark curls that fell around his face haphazardly. It was easy
to see his age like this. His crystal blue eyes stood out, captivating me. He
was absolutely beautiful. He was dressed in a pair of old jeans that hung low
on his hips and had a t-shirt slung over his bare, muscled shoulder. Without
realizing it, I was staring, mouth dropped open. I'm surprised I didn't have
drool dripping down my chin. Obviously enjoying my attention, or maybe my
shock, Dan's lopsided smirk grew into a full on smile, revealing his perfect
teeth. No one should look this good during a zombie apocalypse. I could feel
the warmth spread across my cheeks in what I was sure was a deep red blush.
Twenty minutes ago, Dan looked like a young Hagrid. Now he was looking like he
was ready to grace the covers of a fitness magazine. Will cleared his throat
loudly, breaking my stare.

"Oh don't you look hot!"
Janet teased, tousling his wet hair.

"I think some people might say
that," Dan said looking in my direction, winking, sending my blush further
across my blazing face.

Janet's gaze flashed up and down over
me, one eyebrow raised. She let out a huff bordering on disgust, and headed
back to the kitchen to check on dinner. Ignoring Will's continued death glare,
Dan walked over to me, lifting my chin to once again look at him.

"What do you think?" Dan
asked, batting thick lashes over his hypnotizing eyes, stealing my breath from
my throat.

"You, uh, you look, fine,"
I stuttered, lost for words.

I could feel the heat from his body
between us. My mind went blank of any rational thoughts, leaving behind only
sensations. I was aware of the pounding of my heart and my breath, loud in my
own ears. His thick fingers slid up from my chin, behind my ear, then down and
past my neck. His knuckles brushed down to the point of my v-neck t-shirt
before moving back up, stroking across my warm cheek, before dropping his hand
down to rest on my shoulder. I thought I was about to hyperventilate.

"Do I?" Dan asked, snapping
me back to reality.

"Huh? What?"

I had no idea what he was talking
about. I could feel Will's stare burning into me from across the room.

Dan laughed, kissing the top of my
head, and went to join Janet in the kitchen. I was left standing there
wondering what the hell just happened.

"Seriously?" Will asked,
walking over to me, looking irritated.

"What?"

"I thought you two were going to
skip dinner and just go right for dessert."

Enthrall by Vanessa Fewings with GIVEAWAY

Add to your shelf!

Blurb:

This is the world of the forbidden. This is the embrace of Enthrall.

Mia Lauren is a single, twenty-one-year old working in a West Hollywood art store who dreams of one day becoming a fashion designer. When an unexpected offer arises to work at Enthrall, L.A.'s premier fetish club for the wealthy, Mia accepts. It's a salary beyond her wildest imagination.

Mia becomes the secretary to the club's assistant director, blond and broody Richard Booth. Richard is not only one of L.A.'s most beautiful and wealthiest men, he is also the club's senior dominant. Mia is both drawn and terrified when he reveals flashes of his white-hot passion, threatening an unbound pleasure like no other. She knows her attraction may be her undoing, but the spellbinding feelings render her powerless to resist his advances. 

What Mia cannot know is that Enthrall's dashing director thirty-year-old Cameron Cole, who is also the club's psychiatrist, has lured Mia to save his best friend and patient Richard from his obsession with thrill seeking. Cameron masterfully sets up sexy scenarios to ensure the collision of Richard and Mia, hoping that love will save him. 

However, despite Cameron's noble intentions, he also finds himself enticed by Mia's haunting innocence. Passion and pleasure stir, forming a dangerous love triangle. This is the world of the forbidden. This is the embrace of Enthrall.

Excerpt:

Richard blinked through dark blond lashes. “You realize what it is I want to do to you?”

“Yes.”

With the window closed, this room lacked the air we both needed so desperately. From the way his chest rose and fell he too must have felt short of breath.

He raised his chin in defiance. “Say it.”   

“You want to dominate me.”  

“Subjugate you.” He stepped closer. “Control you. Conquer you.” His left hand rested against my chest and he eased me back against the wall again and pressed hard. “Fuck you.”

Oh please.

He looked hesitant. “Mia, I have never taken on an untrained submissive.”

“What does that mean?”

“They’ve always come to me primed.”

“Primed?”

“Already trained.”

“By who?” I sucked in my breath. “Cameron?”

Richard stepped closer and brushed a stray hair out of my eyes. 

“I want it to be you,” I said softly.

“You deserve someone better than me.”

“Don’t I get a say?” 

“Right up until the moment you agree to become my submissive. Then all choice is lost.” He narrowed his gaze. “You wouldn’t want that. Would you?”

My legs felt weak. I breathed a sigh of sadness when his hand fell once more to his side, threatening never to touch me again.  

“You and I are miles apart,” he said.

“Are you trying to convince yourself? Or me?”

“What is our common ground?” 

“You don’t think I’m good enough for you?” My voice broke with emotion. “Is that it?”

“Other way round.” He looked intently. “You are innocence incarnate.”

I broke his gaze, my heart aching with the thought I’d failed him, failed me.

My inner musing told me to stay strong, tell him want I really wanted, needed. Him, it had only ever been him.

My words flowed from an unfamiliar place. “I’m returning to the balcony. If you find the strength to face what we both know, that there’s real chemistry between us, join me. Ask me out on a date. I may even say yes.” I picked up his glass of wine and strolled off with it, leaving him standing there. I headed across the living room and out onto the balcony. 

Facing the breeze, I let it wash over me, inhaling the freshest air. This place offered a new start. The promise of fulfillment close enough to touch…

If I dared to reach out to it.  

After several minutes of savoring the view, I regretted my outburst, letting him know my true feelings. I downed the rest of the wine, taking pleasure from knowing his lips had brushed where mine were now on the glass. The softest sigh escaped me.

I turned around—

Richard leaned against the balcony doorjamb. “Start slow?” His alluring blue gaze burning fiercely into mine.

“Slow.”

“Are you sure this is something you want?” he whispered. “I’m not good at compromise.”

“I know.”

“What do you have in mind?” he said.

“Chrysalis’s party tomorrow night. Let me go with you.”

He twisted his mouth as though mulling over it.

“Pick me up tomorrow at six,” I said. 

Richard stepped onto the balcony. “You do realize I’m the dominant.” He towered over me, emphasizing his point. “An issue you would be wise not to forget.”

Damn, that turned me on. 

I stretched out my arms to either side and clutched the handrail. “Your irises dilate when I push back.”

Don’t push back. Cameron warned he prefers malleable.

Could I be this woman? Could I fall at Richard’s feet and become his sex slave? What was I willing to give up in order to become his lover? His submissive.

Everything.

I’d do anything.

He shifted closer. “What else do you see?”

“That you want this as much as I do.”

“Some things are inevitable.”  His expression softened, his face now serene. “I have so much to show you.”

“I want that.”

“Mia.” He narrowed his gaze, his intensity returning. “Are you truly ready for such blinding pleasure?”

A flurry of what felt like butterflies burst out of my chest. Tingles of excitement caused me to shiver, and an exquisite ache in my belly settled low. In the deepest depths of my soul I felt ready for this, for him. 

“It’s a good thing we’re not alone,” he said.

“Not that it matters,” I said. “I only ever see you.”

Richard’s frown dissolved and he ran his fingers through his golden locks.  

“I’ll see you tomorrow then,” I whispered breathlessly, melting in the wake of his stunning smile.
