Breaking Spades by W. Ferraro with Review and GIVEAWAY

Cecille “CeCe” Cervetti lives her life by one rule: Never let a man control her heart, ever again. 

CeCe has built a life to be proud of--she’s successful in business, and in lust.  Men are her playground, to take from, and use to her body’s content. They can only have what she is willing to give, so don't try asking for more.

When an unknown stalker raises the stakes, ripping away her hard won control, CeCe reluctantly seeks help from the first, and last, man she gave her heart to before he vanished from her life--Jarod Gates.

As they struggle to unmask the stalker, CeCe and Jarod learn of each other’s scarred pasts—scars that made them who they are today.  But when her body screams for Jarod’s touch, can CeCe manage to keep her control? Or will Jarod make her question the one rule she’s built her life on?

I live in New England with my young family.  I’m a stay at home mom to two very active children.  For all of you who are familiar with the stress of this job, I decided to complete an item on my bucket list and write a book.  When I’m not writing, you will find me cooking, reading, shopping or being silly with the kids.  In my opinion, one of life’s greatest pleasure is being able to get lost in a book.

I wish you all happy reading and hope you fall in love with the men of Hamden.

Breaking Spades
By W. Ferraro
Review by Wendy @
Shhh, Mommy's in the Bathroom.,.Reading
4.5 stars

I. Loved. This. Book!  This was an up all night, read till my eyes were blurry story.
Right from the get go, I pretty much hated Jarod. He did a pretty shitty thing, with no obvious reason. Jarod had a tough hill to climb to get back in my good graces.
Cece has had her heart ripped out and stomped on, repeatedly, by the same person in a short time span. Once she picked up the pieces, she vowed NEVER let another man close enough to do that again. Men become her playground and nothing more. Don't let them in and they can't hurt you.
When Cece starts receiving gifts from a secret admirer she blows them off at first, but her pseudo-brother Dylan thinks otherwise and decides to take matters into his own hands. Dylan hires his friend that is a PI, and it just happens to be....Jarod. When Cece and Jarod's past and present come together, neither will come out unscathed.
This book is the 4th in the "Hamden Series" and W. Ferraro hit this one out of the park.
The story and dialog flowed well. The "stalker" storyline kept me guessing throughout and I kept changing who I thought it was. These characters kept me on a emotional roller coaster. For the most part the story was fast paced and I didn't feel like the story was dragged anywhere. The intimacy was five stars (cold shower anyone?)
If I had one complaint, it would be that I wished Jarod would have explained things better. Don't get me wrong, I think things were explained, was I was just left wanting a little more.

Over all, this is a must read, and on my reread list (I've already read it twice.)  This is the 4th book in the series, and their are character overlaps, but this could be a standalone too. I have been lucky enough to see W. Ferraro evolve through each story and it just keeps getting better and better. She is an author to keep your eyes on. 

Pending.....I have a few but I'm having issues getting my kindle to put them here. Work in progress...

TEASER

Unedited and subject to change. All rights reserved
Wes came off the couch and cut the distance between them with three strides. Using the counter behind her, effectively cage her in. Leaning into her so his chest touched hers. He looked deep into her eyes and said with complete sincerity, “You are an amazing woman. Not only do you have a body made for sexual fantasy but you also have the compassion of a saint.” Wes let his head fall, so he could leave a trail of kisses starting at the corner of her mouth, following her jaw line, down her neck creating a sensual and erogenous path she felt all the way to her center. Between nips and tastes, he continued, “I never once had ill thoughts of you or where you live. Hell, if you had to sleep on the floor, I am sure you would do it. Just proves even more how much heart you truly have. But, tell me, when was the last time someone did anything for you, Lola? When was the last time you did not have to think about anything? Let me do that for you. Let me be the one whose mission is to give you absolute pleasure and release. I want to be the one that gives into your needs above all. What you felt today is only the beginning of the kind pleasure I want to give you. I want to bring you to a completely different plain of ecstasy. I want to know when you come for me, it will be like no other orgasm you have ever had with any other man.” Wes Thompson,

Hamden Series By W. Ferraro Three Of Hearts, Three of Spades, & Three of Diamonds

 Three of Hearts

Mae Turney is searching for the type of life and happiness she has
never known but has only dreamed about. She's fortunate enough to find
a great opportunity to live in an exterior apartment of a beautiful
lake house in a small town in Vermont. When she realizes the apartment
and scenery are not the only gorgeous appeal but the home owner, Seth
Finn, is as well, she puts it all on the line for the chance at love.
When she becomes comfortable and confident in her own skin and
sexuality, Mae realizes that this place and this man is exactly what
she came looking for. Knowing Seth and his three children are as
special as they come, Mae bets the house, and prays she and her gamble
are enough.

Three of Hearts Review:

3.5 stars(maybe 4)

Three of hearts- W. Ferraro debut novel.

Here we have the story of Seth Finn, widower with three children. He has never truly recovered from his wife's death after the birth of their third child. Seth puts all his work and attention into his kids and his construction company.

Through the help of his sister Robyn, Mae Turney, an oncology nurse, rents out the apartment adjacent to Seth's home. Mae wants a fresh start in a small town.

Mae is not your usual romance novel character (willowy) but a curvaceous woman ( although I thought this might have been mentioned a little too much)

Seth and Mae's first couple of in counters where rocky. One of the things about the book that seems a little too unrealistic was how fast their relationship progressed. When they finally admit their attraction to each other, they say repeatedly to them selfs and to others that they are going to take it slow. Slow was the last thing they did. Let me say there was some very HOT action going on.

When we finally reached the "catalyst" of the book, it was kinda lack luster, and in the end I think the "issue" was glossed over.

On the down side I felt that a lot of the dialog was unnecessary and when there was a bigger issue we lost the needed dialog. Also, being in the medical field, some of the inaccuracies really drove me crazy (I also get upset at tv shows for this too).

Anyway, this is a good first start and I look forward to seeing where this series is going.

COMING SOON...THREE OF DIAMONDS

Hamden Series by W. Ferraro

Synopsis:

Three of Hearts
Mae Turney is searching for the type of life and happiness she has
never known but has only dreamed about. She's fortunate enough to find
a great opportunity to live in an exterior apartment of a beautiful
lake house in a small town in Vermont. When she realizes the apartment
and scenery are not the only gorgeous appeal but the home owner, Seth
Finn, is as well, she puts it all on the line for the chance at love.

sexuality, Mae realizes that this place and this man is exactly what
she came looking for. Knowing Seth and his three children are as
special as they come, Mae bets the house, and prays she and her gamble
are enough.

Excerpt:

“Don’t even think about it Finn!” she said as she tried to stand her ground and not run.
“Too late, I’ve not only thought about it, I’ve committed to the idea.” Seth said wickedly as his face grew into a sinister smile.

Synopsis:

Dylan Cross is the type of man that enjoys everything female, and
enjoy it he does, but always on his terms. However, his terms are
pushed to their limit when Natalie Parker proposes an offer; teach her
and her delectable little body, all about sex and desire. There is one
catch. He has to play the part of Natalie’s madly in love boyfriend
for her dying mother. Dylan signs on, and finds that separating the
two is harder than he thought. Natalie’s days of shyness and lack of
confidence come to a quick close as she learns what her body craves

teaches him things he didn’t even know he wanted. Will Hamden’s
notorious playboy, bachelor be able to keep calling the shots, or will
he find that, he, himself, is just another player at the card game of
life, as we all are?

Excerpt:

“Feel that, Natalie? That is what you do to me. That is the reaction your innocent ways and naïve little oral activities cause. So, you ask why I call us in a relationship, because what you feel against you right now, cannot be faked. I’m going to pop that cherry of yours and I’ll make sure you love every minute, before, during, and after. So, we are in a relationship from this moment on. Get used to it, Babe.” He leaned down and claimed those small lips that he had fixated on for the last forty-five minutes.
