Paisley Morro has been in love with Eli since they were thirteen-years-old. But after twelve years of only being his best friend and wingman, the heartache that comes from watching him with countless other women becomes too much, and Paisley decides its time to lay all her feelings on the table.

Eli Jenkins has a life most guys would kill for: Dream job, countless women, and his best friend, Paisley, to be the girl he can always count on for everything else. But one conversation not only changes everything between them, it threatens to make him lose the only girl who has ever meant anything to him.


When tragedy strikes his family and Eli is forced to reevaluate his life, he realizes a life without Paisley isn’t a life at all. Only now, he may be too late.







TRUSTING LIAM by Molly McAdams
On-Sale 6/4/2015

When Kennedy Ryan moves to California, she never expects to come face-to-face with Liam Taylor-the intriguing man she hasn’t been able to forget. Somehow Liam managed to get Kennedy to let down her guard for a single night of passion that ended up meaning more than it was ever supposed to. Accustomed to disastrous experiences with men, Kennedy shields herself before he can break down more of the carefully built control she’s clung to for the last four years. But every time she sees Liam, she feels her resolve weakening.

Liam Taylor has been asked to befriend his boss’s nieces. But what starts out as a reluctant favor ends up leading Liam to the only girl who ever slipped away before morning-a girl he thought he’d never find again. And now that she’s within reach, Liam’s determined to never let her go.

When a secret from her past tests their relationship, will they be able to cling to the trust Liam has worked so hard to build?

~ Synopsis ~

Exiled by his pack as a teen, Omega wolf Simon Moorehead learns to bury his gentle nature in the interest of survival. When a hulking, rough-faced Alpha catches Simon on pack territory, he tries to escape what he’s sure will be imminent death. But instead of killing him, the Alpha takes Simon home. A man of action, Mitch Grant uproots his life to support his brother in leading the Blue Mountain pack. Mitch lives on the periphery, quietly protecting everyone, but always alone. A mate is a dream come true for Mitch, and he won’t let little things like Simon’s rejections, attacks, and insults get in their way. With patience, seduction, and genuine care, Mitch will ride out the storm while Simon slays his own ghosts and Mitch’s loneliness. ©2014 Cardeno C. (P)2014 Cardeno C.

4 Stars 

This book was good.  I actually enjoyed listening to this book instead of having to read it. 

Mitch is an alpha wolf and his twin brother is the alpha of the pack.  Together they run the pack.  Most alphas never take a mate, but his brother has a mate and Mitch longs for his mate.  But when they scent his mate, Mitch is shocked that his mate doesn't know who he is.  You are suppose to know your mate.  Mitch slowly learns about Simon's life and why he doesn't know much about his wolf.  Can Mitch help Simon learn about packs and being a mate?  Or will Simon run like he knows?

This is book one in the Pack series and I can't wait to read more about this pack.  This was a quick story.

Blog Tour and Giveaway: Blindsided by Emma Hart






~ Synopsis ~

From Emma Hart, the New York Times bestselling author of the Game series, comes a brand new series where the game is realer, the tension is tighter, the sex is hotter, and the stakes are the highest of all…



Two people. Two agendas. Two games.

What happens when the out-there It-Boy of football meets the secret It-Girl of fashion?

As the daughter of Hollywood’s sweetheart, Leah Veronica can’t even buy a coffee without finding her face on a magazine stand, so it’s no wonder she’s launching her first fashion line in secret. With it debuting at New York Fashion Week in just under a month, extra time in the spotlight is the last thing she needs.

The son of the best quarterback the league has ever seen, filling legendary shoes as the L.A. Vipers’ quarterback was inevitable for Corey Jackson. So was meeting Leah Veronica—the first girl to hand him his ass without putting a hair out of place.

Getting the handsome, prickly blonde into his bed becomes his number one goal. But getting the sexy, over-confident footballer the hell away from her becomes Leah’s—at least until she realizes the best way to do that is to give him what he wants.

If only it was that simple.


When Corey discovers who she is, and private photos of Hollywood’s finest find their way online, everything they thought they knew is thrown into disarray.

And when secrets are exposed and hearts are shattered, they have to figure out if they’ve been blindsided by love or reality, and if it’s worth running the extra yard to win the game they never meant to play.






~ Review ~
4 Stars

This was a great first book in this new series.  I can't wait to read about the other characters. 

Leah tries her hardest to stay out of the media.  With her mom being a famous actress they are always wanting some dirt on her so she tries to stay out of the spotlight.  She doesn't do things that will draw attention to her.  So when playboy Quarterback Corey Jackson starts showing interest in her she pushes him away.  She doesn't want to be attracted to him, but it's hard not to be.  Can she give him a chance and not become the highlight of the tabloids?  Or will she end up losing everything she has worked so hard for?

Corey is living the life; football, fame and all the woman he could ever want.  What more could a guy want?  From the moment he sees Leah across the bar he wants her.  Her turning him down and not buying his lines has him wanting her more.  Can he break her down and get her under him?  Or will he finally fail at something?


I feel like I needed a little more from this story.  It felt drawn out in places and lacking in others.  I will definitely read the other books in this series.  I love football so I really enjoyed that aspect of this book.


~ Excerpt ~



“Thought you didn’t want me?” I whisper in her ear. “Hasn’t that been your motto for days?”
“I…don’t…” she replies breathily.
I curl my fingers inside her and push down on her clit. “Don’t give me that shit, Leah. My fingers are inside your gorgeously tight pussy right now. Don’t tell me you don’t fuckin’ want me.”
She drops her head forward onto my shoulder as I continue to work her, to rub her, to bring her closer to the edge. Before she goes, I pull my fingers from her and hold her face in front of mine.
“Corey,” she whispers. It’s deep and low, seductive and begging, and it’s music to my fucking ears.
“Tell me you want me.” I graze my teeth across her bottom lip. “Tell me you want me and I’ll give you what you need.”
“I want you.” Her breath fans over my mouth.
“Say my name.”
“Demanding bastard.” She manages a laugh, but it’s breathy and desperate. “I want you, Corey. Okay? I want you.”
My whole body goes taut, tight. Yes. Those are the words I’ve fucking wanted. I don’t care if I’ve had to tease her with my fingers and hold an orgasm for ransom to get them. What matters is that she said them, and she can’t take them back—not when she’s gyrating her hips against my hand.
“Corey,” she moans softly. “Now finish me off, for the love of fucking God.”
I move my fingers quickly inside her and rub her clit. And I look at her. I watch her lips part and her eyes close and her cheeks flush. I feel her breath quicken and her muscles tighten around me and her juices over my fingers. And finally, I hear her cry out as she comes. I hear her cry my motherfucking name into my shoulder as she comes.
My. Fucking. Name.
Her body collapses against mine, and I press kisses along her jaw to her lips. I cup the back of her head and hold her to me. Her falling apart in my arms is the most goddamn beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. The glaze over her eyes, the quickening of her breathing, the moans from between those lips.

“You. Bastard,” she whispers into my neck.

After graduating from Bowler University, the last place Cam Ruiz ever expected to find himself is his hometown.

5 Stars by Guest Reviewer Brittany

This book was beautifully written. I felt connected to the characters and my heart broke as Tate and Cam explained decisions they made when they were young. My heart also soared as the couple conquered their fears and learned to trust again. Families can be messy, dysfunctional, and hard – but they can also be loving, strong, and honest. This story was not just about Cam and Tate. It was about what happens to a family when illness strikes. It is about how to fight to stay together, to love, and learn to forgive.

~ Excerpt ~



“My feet are killing me,” I groan, leaning against the bar. “This is why I don’t wear heels!”
“Nah, you’re fine. You just need another drink.” Ryann raps her knuckles against the top of the bar and flicks her hair. The bartender shoots down to us like a baby after candy. “Three tequila shots please.”
“Aw, shit,” Macey mutters. “Not tequila. Anything but the devil drink! That should only be drunk in the safety of my apartment.”
I hold the tiny glass in front of my face. “It’ll stop my feet hurting. I don’t give a shit.”
“I’ll remind you that you said that when you call me tomorrow with a hangover.”
“I promise I’ll drink some water before I go to bed. My mom will kill me if I’m hungover tomorrow.” I bring the glass to my lips and tip it back. “Holy shit.” The tequila lights a fiery trail from my throat to my stomach. “Another.”
Ryann smirks and throws my words back at me. “Your mom will kill you if you have a hangover tomorrow.” Ryann smirks and throws my words back at me.
“Fuck off.” I click my tongue. “It’s my birthday, which, by the way, I’ve spent working and watching my half-assed football team almost throw a game. If I say another tequila, I want another tequila.”
“Okay.” Ryann shrugs, waving the bartender over again. “Three more, and three margaritas.”
He nods and fixes the drinks. A few minutes later, they appear in front of us, and I grab my purse.
“This is my round.”
“Hell no!” Macey cries. “It’s illegal to buy your own drinks on your birthday.”
“But—”
“She’s right,” a smooth voice with a hint of a Texas accent says from behind me. “At least it is in Texas.”
I spin on my seat and look into the devastatingly blue-green eyes of Corey Jackson. The very same man my seventy-five-year-old great-aunt was ogling on the TV earlier. And, okay. I get it. I totally get it. His dark hair curls over his ears, and his bright eyes are sparkling with the same smile that’s twitching at his lips. And he has that jaw—you know, the kind of jaw that makes you want to rub your fingers over it repeatedly? Yeah, that jaw.
He’s hot. The, er, tequila said so.
Smart, that tequila.
“Is that right?” I reply.
“Sure is.” The twitch of his lips morphs into a slow, sexy smile.
“I hate to remind you, but this is California.”
“Oh, I know exactly where we are. Where else am I going to be lucky enough to buy a drink for a girl like you?”
“Are you hitting on me?”
He rests his elbow on the bar in front of me and hands the bartender forty dollars between his fingers. “Does it sound like I am?”
“Is it supposed to? Because I’m sure Corey Jackson, L.A. Vipers golden boy, can find a thousand girls like me just by turning around.” I nod my head over his shoulder. “Oh, look. I just found you a bunch of them.”
Seriously, half the girls in this bar are in fan-girl mode. Or panty-dropping mode. I think they’re synonymous where he’s concerned.
He takes his change from the bartender, his smirk turning cocky. “Finally, a girl who recognizes me for more than what is under my shirt. Is this my lucky night?”


“If this is a lucky night, clearly California isn’t doing much for you.” I throw the tequila shot back.

They say there's a fine line between love and hate.

There is.

I married a douchebag.

I didn't know it at the time.

He came in like a handsome stranger and blew me off my feet.
I fell madly in love, like the naive girl I am.

Then he left me high and dry.

He needed to be married in order to obtain his grandfathers business, and I was the poor victim in his path.

I believed in what we had, until the truth reared its ugly head.

I never meant anything to Marcus. Not a damned thing.

5 Tragically Beautiful Stars

MUST READ 'TIL DEATH PART 1 FIRST


This book was amazing!! I didn't want to put it down once I started reading it. Advice before you start, make sure you have nothing to do for a few hours because you won't want to put the book down. And once you finish you will be left saying, "What? It's over?" I did not want this book to end. I feel in love with Marcus and Katia. This book had a few OMG I did not see that happening moments. It also ripped my heart out in places and I even cried in a couple places.

Katia is trying to heal her broken heart after Marcus shattered it into pieces. She doesn't know how to keep moving on and fixing herself, but she has too. But she is getting farther and farther behind. She has to make a decision that could be the worst or the best one she has ever made. Can she face Marcus again? What will she do when she comes face to face with him again?

Marcus never wanted to break Katia. He was setting her free, but in doing that he broke her. He just hoped with time that she would heal and finally move on and have the life she wanted. He is living in hell and it is worse because he doesn't know where she is. What would he do if he did? Is he ready to see her face to face again? Would he be willing to give her up again?

This book is tragically beautiful. It will rip your heart out and hopefully repair it like it did mine. You see both Marcus and Katia hit their own personal rock bottoms. You will want to hate them both, but you can't because you understand what they are feeling. Can too tragically, beautiful, broken people make it work together? Or are their sins against each other too much for them to handle?
