Holy sh** batman this book was HOT.  This book deals with three people trying to make a relationship work.  All the battles they have to deal with. It's an amazing story of love, friendship and opening yourself up to rush being hurt or finding love.

Mary is trying to make a relationship work with Zeke and Jeff.  Well it was all suppose to be fun until one night changed everything.  All it takes is an accident to change everyone's way of thinking.  Mary has lost two loves before in a polyamory relationship.  She is scared to admit her feelings because she can't lose Zeke or Jeff.  Can she keep them both?  Or will she have to pick one?

Zeke has never wanted a relationship, but he is finding it difficult to just play with Mary and Jeff.  He wants to have a relationship, but is scared that they don't feel the same way and just want to keep it fun.  He is also scared to tell his family because he knows they won't approve.  He has a lot to overcome to make this relationship work.  Will he try and make this work? Or will he let what others think be enough to not follow his heart?

Jeff has a lot of issues he hides from everyone.  He is the therapist that helps everyone deal with there problems so he is good at hiding his.  He wants to let Zeke and Mary in, but he is afraid to get hurt.  Will he open up to then before it's too late?

This is am amazing story.  I love all the men in the Isthmus Alliance books and I cannot wait to read more about them and their lives.

~ Author Bio ~ 

Sloan Johnson is a big city girl trapped in a country girl’s body. While she longs for the hustle and bustle of New York City or Las Vegas, she hasn’t yet figured out how to sit on the deck with her morning coffee, watching the deer and wild turkeys in the fields while surrounded by concrete and glass. When she was three, her parents received their first call from the principal asking them to pick her up from school. Apparently, if you aren’t enrolled, you can’t attend classes, even in Kindergarten. The next week, she was in preschool and started plotting her first story soon after. Later in life, her parents needed to do something to help their socially awkward, uncoordinated child come out of her shell and figured there was no better place than a bar on Wednesday nights. It’s a good thing they did because this is where she found her love of reading and writing. Who needs socialization when you can sit alone in your bedroom with a good book?

Now, Sloan is a tattooed, purple haired mom of two kids, one of which was a thank you present to her husband for letting her get a Staffordshire Terrier with more anxiety issues than Sloan has, which is saying something. She’s been kicked out of the PTA in two school districts and is no longer asked to help with fundraisers because she’s been known to lose herself in a good book and forget that she has somewhere to be.

5 Stars

I was not expecting to like this book after I started it.  I had to put it down and walk away and start it again.
This book is truly an amazing book.  It shows you that people can change when they want to.  There is redemption out there to be had, but it is going to take work to get it.

Eden has been living in a loveless marriage for five years.  She is abused and let's it continue.  She got herself into this position so she has to make it work.  She is tired of being treated as arm candy and a whore.  She wants a really marriage and a family.  She will never have a family if Dominic has his way.  He never wants kids.
What does Eden do?  Can she grow a backbone and stand up for herself?

Dominic has a need for power and control.  He controls everything in all aspects of his life. He doesn't care how it effects them as long as it benefits him.  But sometimes it takes losing something you want to make you see what you had all along.  He wants Eden more than he knows, but he may have ruined any chance with the way he treated her the last 5yrs of marriage.  Will he change?  Will he have a life for a love with Eden?  Or will he always be the monster he is?

This is an amazing 5 star read!  I definitely recommend this book.  You may hate it to start, but don't give up on it.  This was an emotional story.  Full of hate, betrayal, love and redemption.

 ~ Excerpt ~

****Warning the following excerpt is for 18+ only****

“Soon, sweetie, I promise,” he soothed. She moaned softly as he licked her ear, dropped soft warm kisses across her shoulder blades, he moved down her back, a wet tongue and hot mouth traced and kissed each vertebrae, making a slow and steady progress down her spine. It was a torturous progression that boiled the blood in Eden’s veins as she waited in bated anticipation. Breath stilled in her lungs, eyes widening when he drew apart her butt cheeks and ran his tongue down the wet crevice, from clit to the puckered rosebud of her hole and back again. It was undoubtedly one of the most erotic things he’d ever done to her body, and Eden didn’t know how to breathe properly. She gripped the sheets beneath her hands and bit down hard on her bottom lip to keep from screaming.

It was like a shot of adrenaline straight into her vein. It was blood vessels dilating, her heart galloping uncontrollably in her chest, it was gasping for breath when the air she drew in wasn’t enough. He owned her body, ate it like sun ripened peaches and drank the flowing juices of her weeping womanhood with his rapacious tongue. There were fingers there, slipping between the folds to dive deep into her blistering heat, while his thumb worked at her puckered hole, his wicked, wicked mouth showing Eden exactly how very little she knew her of own body. There was nothing but the explicitness of this act, the hyper awareness that made her feel like each inch of her body was struck by lightning, that killed her and gave her life all in one electrifying jolt. He was merciless and perfect, inviting her to shove her hips back and ride his face.

Death was imminent, sweet cataclysmic death seduced her into the gaping, welcoming arms of her orgasm. She plummeted, shattered into delicious little pieces on his tongue and fingers. Recuperating wasn’t in the stars for her as he gripped her hips and plunged into her depths in one long stroke. Pulling her arms and folding them at the small of her back, he held them there with one large hand as he sank in deeper, so deep that it hurt so good. Ass high in the air, face down in the sheets, Eden was at his complete mercy, filled to absolute capacity with his cock, and she whimpered, the vulnerability of her position giving her a sweet high.

“I’m going to beat this pussy, Eden, and you’re going to scream my name.”

And she did, a promise made completely true as he fucked her like a porn star. She screamed like the world was falling, his repeated strike against her G-spot making her see stars. It was too damn much, his jarring thrusts so deep that she could taste him, spurred her fall and she orgasmed on every inch of his cock.

4 Stars by Guest Reviewer Cybill

Megan is a PA for the hottest actor in Hollywood, Asher Knox. She ran to California to escape her small town and get out from the shadow of her sister. Meg is the only one who can help keep Asher sane.

Asher Knox loves being an actor, he hates everything that comes with it. He hates the press, crowds and people touching him. He would willingly give it all away for something real. He has an immense attraction to Megan, but she keeps him at arms link and stays professional.

Luca James is an up and coming actor/male model. He is also Megan's best friend. She met him and Sun as soon as she came to town. Luca doesn't like traditional relationships. Megan was attracted to him instantly but doesn't like to share.

Luca and Sun are Megan's roommates and best friends. They have a strange relationship, they share. Luca will not have sex with out Sun. This is why Megan will not be with Luca, she doesn't want to share. Sun represents a painful part of Luca's past, he is now ready to move on from her and his past.

Asher needs a break before he begins filming a new block buster with Luca. Megan's job is on the line, so they decide to take a road-trip to her hometown of Branton in search of research for their upcoming roles.

Both men want Megan, she wants both men. Can a relationship of three survive in the spotlight? Is Megan willing to throw her career away to be with both of these men?

This book has many menage sex scenes including M/M and M/F/M. If this is not your cup of tea, I do not recommend this book for you. Megan states often that she doesn't want to share, but I believe this only applies to sharing with another woman. This is a part of a series and it leaves questions unanswered. It is a good, short read.

~ Excerpt ~

"How about we give you boys a little something?" I hear Roxie say from the other sofa. "Hell yeah,” Mason growls. Cole looks up at me. "Let me see that sexy body of yours Lacey." It's like I want to do anything he wants me to. Without thinking I get up from the sofa and walk to Roxie, who is already standing in the middle of the two sofas. She puts her arms around my shoulders and smiles over at Cole and Mason. "Lacey and I have had many lonely nights together." She trails her hand softly up the side of my body. She licks my cheek and says, "I love hearing her scream." I hear Mason groan and I laugh as Roxie slaps my bottom. I trail my finger from her throat and down to the swell of her breasts. "You scream just as loud Rox." "Fuck." I turn at the sound of Cole. He has his hand on his crotch. I grab a fistful of Roxie's hair and pull it to tilt her head back. She knows exactly what I'm doing and lets her mouth fall open. I lick across her soft lips and then Roxie takes my mouth. We passionately kiss, just like many times before but this time we have two very sexy men watching us. I reach up and grab Roxie's breast, squeezing hard because I know she likes it. I feel a body press against me from behind and I know its Cole. I see Mason turn Roxie around just before Cole turns me to face him. He kisses me wickedly and reaches behind me to unfasten my dress. He pulls the zipper down very slowly kissing along my jaw as he does. His eyes burn me from the inside when he looks at me in my black lacy underwear, then he gives me a very sexy smile. "Lacey in lace."

~ Review ~

5 Stars

This book was a slam dunk, grand slam and Hail Mary touchdown pass all in one.   I thought Unbreakable was amazing, but this book blew it out if the water.  I am in a major book hangover.

Reagan is trying to settle into her new job and focus on making a new life for herself.  She is learning to live again and except she can be happy. She isn't looking for a relationship and she definitely isn't looking for a one night stand.  Meeting Landon isn't helping her focus on her career. She tries to stay away because she knows they can never be JUST friends.  One of them will want more and then get their heart ripped out.  Will they stay friends?  Or will she open up to him?

Landon is all kinds of f*cked up.  He has a lot of issues, but once you learn why you will understand why he does what he does.  He wants Reagan from the moment he sees her and makes plans to get her.  He is looking for a fun night, but soon realizes that Reagan isn't just a fling.  He doesn't know how to handle this so he does what he does best and RUNS.  Will he learn to trust her?  Or will he succeed in pushing her away?

This book will have you in tears, you will be pissed and screaming at them in your head.  This is a must read book.  You will not want to put it down once you start reading it.  It will leave you wanting more.  You will be yelling at Rebecca to give us the next book now!!!!!

~ Excerpt ~

“So you’re like a modern-day saint,” I say. ”Saving people, dogs...what else do you have up

your sleeve?”

She laughs. “Ha! Hardly. I don’t save anybody or anything, I just like to help.”

“I like that about you, Reagan. I like that you like helping people—even dogs.” She picks up

a small handful of sand and lets it run through her fingers. “And I’d like to see you again, but I’m

not sure I could give you what you want or need.”

“How do you know what I want or need?”

“I guess I don’t. But what I do know is that I like talking to you.”

“You’re breaking your own rules, Champ. You’ve seen me twice—yesterday and today. You

said it yourself you don’t see someone more than once.”

“Ah, you’re wrong. I don’t sleep with them more than once, not

see

them more than once.”

“Oh, that’s right; as long as we don’t sleep together, we can be friends—hang out, and see

each other again and again,” she says sarcastically. Turning toward me, she leans in too close, her

nose pressed against the side of my face. I can feel her lips hovering just next to my ear. “But

what happens when one of us wants more?” she whispers. “Because one of us will, it’s

inevitable. What happens then? You fuck me and leave me—never see me again?”

I turn to meet her crisp blue eyes. She’s leaning in to me—staring at me.

“Do you want to fuck me, Reagan?”

“Not if I can’t see you again—no.”

Release Day Blitz and Giveaway: From Yesterday by Miriam Epstein

Title: From Yesterday

Author: Miriam Epstein

Genre: New Adult Romance

 Release Date: March 18, 2014

   

~ Synopsis ~

Moving to Miami was supposed to be enough distance from her family and her past, but Paige Kerimov can’t seem to get them out of her head. A year of self-induced solitude, nothing but school, Paige reluctantly starts to let people back into her life, including one person in particular; the insistent and attractive Brady Quinlan with whom she is paired for a project that will impact her major. She has no choice but to work with him, no matter how tough that makes it to deny her attraction to him.

As Paige lets her guard down, remnants of a violent past and a tragic history start to resurface and Brady knows she is hiding something. He tries to figure her out, but she can’t let him see when the truth is that she isn’t sure if she’s in danger from anything other than herself.  

~ Excerpt ~

I take a super long shower and turn the water as hot as I can. It can’t erase those memories, but the sting of the water on my stitched up arm actually has a cathartic effect. Only after the water starts to run lukewarm do I get out. I thought that I had made peace with that scar on my thigh, so it bothers me that I reacted so badly when Brady saw it. Yes, it’s true that I’ve only had sex in the dark before, but the possibility was always there that someone would see it. Of course, none of those guys were anything more than an opportunity for me to prove that I wasn’t damaged goods. One night stands; both of them. I dry my hair so that it doesn’t get frizzy and then put it up in a twist. Sweats and a t-shirt are as much as I feel like wearing today in the solemn mood I’m in. I check my cell phone and see a new text from Brady. 

Victor is working at the front desk until three. He will come up to your place right after. Do you want me there as well?

I sigh. I feel as though Brady wouldn’t have even bothered asking if I wanted him here before I practically kicked him out earlier. I didn’t mean to and I really regret it. I wish I could start this day over. I can’t, but I do have an hour to fix one thing before this guy comes and plays detective in my very private life. 

I don’t want you to come over when Victor does. I want you to come over now. I’m a pain in the ass and I don’t deserve you, but come over anyway?

I hesitate for a moment before I hit the send button. Did I really just call myself a pain in the ass? Yes, because it is the truth and because it will lighten the mood a little bit. It can be tiring being so damn intense all the time, and I’m used to me. What it must be like to be the person dealing with me, I have no idea. Definitely not easy. I hit send and wait for his reply. And continue to wait. After about 15 minutes, I throw the phone on the floor of my bedroom and lay down on my bed to feel sorry for myself. Sorry for screwing up what could have been the only emotional connection I’ve ever managed with a guy. I draw my knees up and wring my hands together in frustration.
