Friends with Benefits Promo and Give-a-way!


Title: Friends with Benefits
Author: Anne Lange
Genre: Contemporary Erotic Romance – Ménage w/light BDSM elements
Publication Date: January 17, 2014



Can a summer of sexual exploration, lead to an unconventional forever.

When his best friend moves to the area, Tyler seizes an opportunity to fulfill his wife’s fantasies while, hopefully, leading her in the direction of his.

They shared women in the past, and Connor’s the only man Tyler trusts with this special summer assignment. But when neighbors start to gossip, and the actions of strangers threaten their already precarious threesome, he worries that Angela’s uncertainties and Connor’s ex will end what could be the perfect forever.

Tyler O’Neil

Until pillow talk exposed his wife’s fantasies, Tyler had no idea some of Angela’s desires so closely matched his own. So, when he decides to enlist the help of his best friend to fulfill a few for her, he secretly hopes it will lead to his own personal desire - a permanent threesome. Tyler and Connor shared women in the past, he’s the one and only man Tyler trusts with this special summer assignment.

Connor Jones

Connor can’t believe it when he best friend asks if he would consider seducing his wife. Then he meets Angela, and all the women in his past fade away. With his friend’s blessing he sets out to seduce the man’s wife. And when Tyler joins the party, the three of them set the sheets on fire. Angela is one sexy woman, and Tyler is one lucky man. If only Connor could find a woman like her, one who would love him unconditionally.

Angela O’Neil

Angela is floored when her husband suggests they explore some of her fantasies. Sex with a stranger, phone sex, outdoor sex, threesome sex. These were things she read about, thought about, wished for, but never in her wildest dreams thought would she be able to live them. She loves her husband, but soon she finds herself falling for his best friend too. That’s not normal, is it? What will people think? Sandwiched between the two of them, she’s never felt so treasured, so protected, or so loved.

Angie sat cross-legged on the window settee. The brightness of the moon belied the late
hour, pushing the shadows deep into the corners. The faint murmur of Tyler’s and Connor’s
voices rose through the floorboards from the first level. She looked over at the rumpled bed
sheets and then down at the journal lying open in her lap. She re-read her entry.
We did it. I actually did it. How much must Tyler love me to have granted me this
particular fantasy? Who knew my husband had a kinky side? And, even though he encouraged
me to play with Connor over the weekend, which…WOW…tonight was different. Very different.
 
Tonight the man I’m committed to watched another man make love to me. He helped another
man make love to me. No jealousy. No competition. Only mutual excitement, sharing and
exploring.
Honestly, it was a little weird at first. But, knowing Tyler trusted Connor made me feel
secure. Though I guess I should have known he’d arranged the whole thing. I just didn’t think his
surprise would include his best friend.
Oh, my. I can still feel their hands and their lips gliding over my body. The way they
touched me, as if I were made of spun sugar. They kissed me. First their lips soft and sensual,
and then demanding, scorching, as though they couldn’t get enough. I’ve never felt so alive, so
beautiful, so treasured.
Few words were spoken. Few were needed.
“Let’s tie her up.” I’ll never look at Tyler’s silk ties the same way.
“Your skin is so soft, like flower petals.”
“You smell like vanilla, but you taste like some exotic brand of honey.”
They were so in tune to each other. Their hands guided me where and how they wanted
me. All I could do was moan and sigh—until the end. Sometimes they took turns, sometimes they
played with me together. At times it was almost too much. Having four hands or two tongues
pleasuring me…my body hummed like a tuning fork. The energy they created…oh…I could
almost feel the blood rushing hot and thick through my veins.
The blindfold hid them from me, and I so wanted to watch. But, I admit, I had no
difficulty telling them apart. Their bodies are similar in build, but they are different in every
other way.
 
The only thing that could have made it better would have been to feel both men inside me
at the same time. Being sandwiched between two gorgeous men…that’s something I think many
women fantasize about. I imagine my body would struggle to accommodate them, but in the end
they would win. I think I’d forget to breathe.
My mouth’s watering as I write this. My body tingles. Should I be ashamed of how I feel?
How will Tyler react now that it’s over? Was this a one-time event? How do I tell my husband
I’m counting the hours until we can do it again?
Angela paused and raised her head when the bedroom door opened, and her husband
walked in, a knowing smile on his handsome face.


Anne grew up the oldest of four in Ontario, Canada. She works full-time and writes in her spare time. Books and shoes are her passion. Reading is her escape. Anne started writing in late 2009, realized she needed to figure out what in the world she was doing, and began her trek of workshops, networking and writing. While she reads many genres of fiction, she prefers to write hot, edgy romance with attractive men, sexy females, and always a happily ever after. She’d love for you to follow her on this journey as she brings more fiction to the world for people, who like her, just need to get away from it all for a few hours every now and then.

From Lies to Promises by Faith S Lynn



Title: From Lies to Promises
Author: Faith S. Lynn
Genre: New Adult
Publication Date: 



With a past buried and left behind, Katrina changes her last name on a search for a normal life. But what is normal, really?
Three years, two amazing friends, and a new future, she thinks she has finally secured it. That was until Ryder. With him she was able to forget her fears completely, to feel more normal than she ever has.
But when her past comes crashing into her present, will he think her past is all lies, and abandon her like everyone else that she thought loved her did. Or will his promises bring her above the dark that surrounds her life.




First let me say... debut novel?  SERIOUSLY?  This lady writes as if she's either been doing it for years or really has lived through some tough situations in her life. Faith S. Lynn has now made her way to the top of our list for reading everything she comes out with. 

"...I'm so far gone I can't even end this disaster of a life..."  

How do you come back from that?  How do you build a life from a statement that is so devastating that you want to end your own life?  Well follow Kat's story and you will see how that can really happen. From the three that make up the puzzle (Kat, Skeigh, and Lexi) to the little sister that steals your heart, you will see that this isn't only a story about a broke heart. It's about a broken soul. 

Ryder... daaaaaaammmmmmnnnn. 
Just Ryder...  That's all you need to know right now. Panty dropping, smooth talking, green-eyed Ryder. Yum :)

He has all the right things to say and says them at all the right times. He helps Kat open up to him and builds those walls that have come crashing down. But instead of building them up between the two of them, he helps her build them around her true family... 

"...I don't want you to hide yourself from me, Katrina. I want to see you. All of you..."   
(I mean.... swoooooonnn...).

If you haven't read this one, add it to your list now!  Right NOW!  Strong men are always a plus; but this one is a double whammy with a strong woman and strong friends that really know what the word family means. Skeletons in the closet really don't mean anything when you have true family beside you. Follow this strong woman as she finds herself again and along the way mets some amazing characters that somehow end up part of that family. 

5 stars and looking forward to many, many more from Faith!

Wonder If Skeigh and Lexi will get to tell their story next?


 




Excerpt #1:

“That’s what I am doing now, is getting to know you. Should I not want to be a part of your life? Are you a serial killer or something?” He jokes. “Ah, she does smile.”

I don’t even know that I am smiling until he says something, which only causes me to smile bigger. “What are you talking about, I smile all the time.”

“Yea, but that one was real.” He doesn’t say anything more, just starts digging into his food. I don’t press him on what he means because I know. The question is, how does he?


Excerpt #2:

Before Ryder has a chance to react, I take his face in my hands and pull him down for a kiss. For a second he is still, then he kisses me back. This kiss isn’t like the first one, there is no holding back for either of us. I am giving myself over to be hurt, I know this. What’s the saying? Go big or go home. That’s what I intend to do. I ease my hands away from his face and around his neck. His elbow still supporting his weight, his other hand has made it to my hip. He grips it and pulls me closer to him, our bodies lined together perfectly. When his teeth graze my bottom lip in a soft nip, I can’t contain the moan that leaves me. Hearing it, Ryder deepens the kiss.

We come back to reality when the movie starts. Ryder pulls back, my body begging for more, and he has that damned grin on his face. “That makes me very happy.” I smile on the inside, I want to make him happy. To be the reason that smile takes residence on his handsome face.





I am a New Adult author. From Lies to Promises is my debut novel! I am wife to the best husband of the freaking universe and mother to 3 majorly awesome kids! Reading, Xbox, cooking and WINE just barely scrape the surface of who I am. Everyone who knows me will say I am a nerd... and I would agree. Want to know a secret? I am a super hero. True story!

I have an obsession with anything people consider odd and I think learning is the bees knees. I have an Associates degree in Business Management and was an accountant for 7 years. I know, boooring! But I like having a problem and seeing a solution.

Maybe, just maybe, this is why I enjoy writing so much!

Make sure you take the time to get your copy and be apart of this story!!!

excerpt

Grabbing my bag I let Christina know I was heading out. I lit a cig as soon as I got outside. The fresh air felt good on my skin. The walk to Freddie’s took a little longer tonight since I was lost in my own thoughts. Three cigarettes later, I was sitting in my usual booth at the back of the bar.
It was Thursday, so no band tonight. I settled into the seat, closed my eyes and lay my head back while I waited for the waitress to come get my order. Thoughts of the pretty boy kept invading my mind. I didn’t want this. I wasn’t ready for it.
My mother had once told me that when you meet the right man something inside you just clicks. You can try and fight it but it will do no good. No other man will ever do.
Fuck, I’m screwed.
I felt like banging my head against the table, but I didn’t want to cause a scene. Not that I have a problem with causing scene’s, I’m just not in the mood. I want to be left the hell alone, drink myself into oblivion then find some random root rat and have my way with him.
Just then the seat on the other side of the book creaked and dipped. What the hell? Can’t people just leave a girl alone? I sat up in my seat ready to rip someone’s head off, but I was pulled up short by the sight of pretty boy sitting across from me.

ROME Book Tour!


Title: Rome (Marked Men #3)  
Author: Jay Crownover  
Genre: New Adult  
Publication Date: January 7, 2014  
Publisher: William Morrow an imprint of HarperCollins Publishing
 Event organized by: Literati Author Services, Inc.

Synopsis
Cora Lewis is a whole lot of fun, and she knows how to keep her tattooed bad boy friends in line. But all that flash and sass hide the fact that she’s never gotten over the way her first love broke her heart. Now she has a plan to make sure that never happens again: She’s only going to fall in love with someone perfect.
Rome Archer is as far from perfect as a man can be. He’s stubborn and rigid, he’s bossy and has come back from his final tour of duty fundamentally broken. Rome’s used to filling a role: big brother, doting son, super soldier; and now none of these fit anymore. Now he’s just a man trying to figure out what to do with the rest of his life while keeping the demons of war and loss at bay. He would have been glad to suffer it alone, until Cora comes sweeping into his life and becomes the only color on his bleak horizon.
Perfect isn’t in the cards for these two, but imperfect might just last forever . . .

Our Reveiw:
     If you haven't read any of the Marked Men series, you need to stop what you are doing RIGHT now and get them!  At least one of them today on your Kindle, Nook or whatever you use and read them!!  Jay has done it again with Rome!.
      Sweet, innocent, loving...blah blah blah  yea it may have some of those things in there, but the rough, troubled, tormented lives of both Rome and Cora jump out at you on the page and make this book one you don't (or can't) put down.  We found ourselves silently (and sometimes not so silently) cheering for Rome to do the right thing, for Cora to finally shut up long enough to see what was right in front of her, for the both of them to stop and take a look in the mirror!  
     Touching on some serious subjects in this page turner, Jay hits all the spots right at home where it hurts.  Don't let this one pass you by, as she continues to add depth to each of her other characters that travel along with her in these stories.  The farther you read to more you realize that scars may mark your body, but they tattoo your soul...

             '...love didn't do any good if you held on to it in a death grip.  It only had purpose, had power, when you had the courage to hand it over to someone else for safekeeping.'  - Cora

We Give ROME 4 Stars

12/23—Molly McAdams Pretender #8

 

Favorite food?

Lobster

 

Favorite color?

Emerald green

 

Favorite band and / or favorite song?

I love classic rock, and it's super hard to pick out one band, forget one song, so I'll go with my current favorite: Imagine Dragons.

 

How do you come up with your book ideas?

Usually a character just pops into my head and starts telling me a story, but sometimes it's a song lyric, or something I overhear someone say, or a line from a TV show or movie.

 

What’s the best prank you’ve ever played on someone?

Me and my high school lab partner in chemistry went out of our way to blow stuff up, so we broke a lot of beakers and test tubes over the course of the year. Our teacher gave us a bill at the end of the year for something like forty bucks...so we brought it all in loose pennies and dumped them on her desk.

 

What’s your fascination with cops and detectives?

There is just something innately alpha about them. They don't take any crap, and there are lines that they can never cross.

 

What’s the thing you love most about Needing Her?

Getting to revisit some of my favorite characters and give them the happy ending they deserve.

 

 


 

Needing Her:

A fabulous, fun, and sexy New Adult novella from New York Times bestselling author Molly McAdams. If you loved Connor in From Ashes, this is the story for you.

 

She's the girl next door

Maci Price isn't really into relationships. Having four very protective older brothers has always made having a boyfriend very difficult anyway. But her friend is set on finding her the right guy—and thinks the mysterious Connor Green is the perfect pick.

 

He's her brother's best friend

Connor Green is trying to find himself again. He loved, then lost, and it's time for him to pick up the pieces. His brooding is making his friends crazy, but Maci, who has grown up into a gorgeous and incredibly sexy woman, is about to break the spell.

 

They're made for each other

When Maci starts up old pranks to get Connor out of his slump, an all-out war leads to a night that will break all their rules … and a relationship they must keep hidden. Together they're electric. Apart they're safe. And soon they'll each find that they're exactly what the other needs.
