BOOK REVIEW: ONE WILDE NIGHT by JENN STARK - IMMORTAL VEGAS #0.5 - PREQUEL NOVELLA - URBAN FANTASY

By: Jenn Stark
Published By: Elewyn Publishing
Released: Available Now, Currently FREE on Kindle

RATING: 4.5 STARS

Blurb: Goodreads

Tarot-reading artifact hunter Sara Wilde has had her share of tough assignments, but this one just might take the cake. When her newest client hires her to steal a fertility idol from an Amazonian sex-and-death cult, she finds herself south of the equator and shoulder deep in true believers, while Rio de Janeiro gears up for the closing celebrations of Carnival.



BOOK REVIEW:

My first Jenn Stark read and boy did it get off to a fast run.

I adored this novella.

The writing is funny, visually descriptive and such a great idea for an urban fantasy series. There is very much a Charley Davidson vibe with the witty dialogue.

I love that our lead female character is a contract hunter of relics. She has a good heart and puts the money she gets paid to good use. 

Sara uses tarot cards to help her along the way and the mysterious voice talking to her in her head, which is both sexy and intriguing assists in rather amusing ways.

This voice leaves us wondering who he is and why he is helping Sara Wilde get out of her predicaments. Think a conversation without Bluetooth.

We do eventually find out his name and Getting Wilde will give you much more information on this mysterious voice.

As far as this prequel novella, I did feel like I wanted to know a few deeper facts regarding Sara, but it didn’t stop me from really enjoying Jenn Stark’s urban fantasy voice.

I personally thought this was a rather smashing FREEBIE I came across and quite the gem.

The cover design for all the series is simply gorgeous.

I feel some readers have been quite hard on Jenn's novella, but each to their own. If you are looking for a fun read with a guy that will leave you waiting for his big reveal, and you are open to some madcap, fast-paced relic hunting, then try it on for size.
Book 1, Getting Wilde is currently FREE at the time of this posting.


BOOK REVIEW: THE WEDDING FROM HELL PART 2 by JR WARD - THE RECEPTION - NOVELLA PREQUEL TO CONSUMED - PIATKUS - CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE


By: JR WARD
Published By: Piatkus
Released: Available Now
Details: FREE Prequel on Amazon

RATING: 5 STARS

Blurb: Goodreads

The Wedding from Hell, Part 2: The Rehearsal Dinner is the exciting second adventure in J.R. Ward’s three-part ebook serialization: The Wedding From Hell. This exclusive prequel to her upcoming standalone suspense, Consumed (available in October 2018) takes us to where it all started between arson investigator Anne Ashburn and ‘bad boy’ firefighter Danny Maguire. The Wedding From Hell is a sexy standalone novella that sets up Consumed's storyline, leaving fans hungry for more and dying to snatch it up.


The Wedding From Hell, Part 2: The Reception: As the wedding from hell continues, Anne and Danny find themselves walking the delicate balance between professional distance and explosive attraction. Will the desire they feel last through the night and change their lives? Or are they doomed to part after one night of passion?



BOOK REVIEW:

I have to say, my motor is purring in anticipation for Consumed, Firefighters # 1 with these two delicious novellas under my belt.

Danny and Anne are gonna be explosive. Yeah… another pun totally intended.

Not much I can really say other than I highly recommend reading part 1 and 2 in these super short FREE novellas, which will leave you clicking the next page button looking for more… but there isn’t any.

J.R. Ward’s voice is shining through with her descriptions of the crew of the 499 firehouse. I love her Black Dagger Brotherhood series with a passion. I have dabbled in her Bourbon Kings and Fallen Angels series’, but not completed them or even felt the passion I do for BDB.

I can see already I am gonna have a lot of passion for the Firefighters series.

I want Consumed now. I am already consumed by this new series and it hasn’t even started.

October 2018 isn’t that far away… yeah, it kinda is.


BOOK REVIEW: THE WEDDING FROM HELL PART 1 by JR WARD - THE REHEARSAL DINNER - CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE - PIATKUS

Published By: Piatkus
Released: FREE and Available Now on Amazon
Details: FREE, Kindle Purchase, 48 Pages

RATING: 5 STARS

Blurb: Goodreads

A brand new ebook-only story from bestselling author J. R. Ward

Are you ready for The Wedding From Hell?

Dear Reader,

It's a classic recipe for disaster: Take one bridesmaid who thinks pink is the root of all evil. Mix with a best man who's hotter than a four-alarm fire. Add in their explosive sexual attraction, a nightmare bridezilla, two catfights, and an emergency call, and you have the wedding from hell! Come to get to know Anne and Danny, the hero and heroine of Consumed, and see their relationship go from friends with innuendo to holy-&*#-did-that-just-happen?! Is this the start of something good for them? Or just an erotic one-night stand that rocks them both but is never to be repeated? Only their hearts know the answer to that, much as their minds might disagree.

Happy Reading,
J.R. Ward


BOOK REVIEW:

This is a deliciously short FREE novella of only about 48 pages which I thoroughly enjoyed.

Anne Ashburn and Danny Maguire are firefighters and have the hots for each other—pun intended—but Anne can’t afford to let her guard down.

Anne works hard to be accepted and to be one of the guys. She has a lot at stake because she still has boobs and not a dick, no matter which way you look at it, she’s all female.

And guys will still be guys.

Robert “Moose” Miller is getting married to a bridezilla, who Danny knows all too well.

Let the bridezilla antics begin.

Let the sexual tension ooze over the pages.

BOOK REVIEW : REASONABLE DOUBT VOLUME 2 by WHITNEY G. - REASONABLE DOUBT # 2 - EROTIC ROMANCE - NOVELLA

By: Whitney G.
Published By: Whitney G.
Released: Available Now
Details: Kindle purchase, 77 Pages

RATING: 5 STARS

Blurb: Goodreads

She lied to me...
She betrayed the one rule that I'm most adamant about: Honesty. Complete and utter fucking honesty.
I really wish she was someone else—someone who didn't have the ability to make me feel, someone I could easily discard like the hundreds of women before her.
She isn't.
I'm drawn to her like I've never been drawn to a woman before—completely captivated by the very sight of her. But unfortunately, with my past slowly re-surfacing for all of the world to see, I'll have to find a way to let her go.
She can never be mine.



BOOK REVIEW:

It took me only a couple hours to read volume one and volume two in the Reasonable Doubt series and I have volume three left to read.

Man, such satisfying short reads. Whitney is very clever in her approach. She doesn’t waste words and she gives us Andrew who is a filthy talker, appears a jerk, but she gives us those outer layers initially, so we can watch her peel them back.

Andrew hates liars.

Alyssa has lied to him.

Even though he has his set of rules: One Night… yaddi yaddi ya. He can’t seem to keep his cock away from her.

Sounds like a trope that’s been done before…but…

A 77 page quick second installment in the Reasonable Doubt series, which is as good as the first 88 page installment.

Fast paced, sexy, witty, squirm-worthy and an intelligent read. You can see Whitney did her lawyer homework, if she wasn’t already one herself.

Visually it plays out like a mini tv show in front of your eyes as you read, everything clear on the page with description and great dialogue.

Looking forward to hitting up the last installment that is around 180 pages.

BOOK REVIEW: REASONABLE DOUBT VOLUME 1 by WHITNEY G. - REASONABLE DOUBT # 1 - EROTIC ROMANCE - NOVELLA

By: Whitney G.
Published By: Whitney G.
Released: Available Now
Details: Kindle purchase, 88 Pages

RATING: 5 ANDREW STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

My cock has an appetite.

A huge and very particular appetite: Blonde, curvy, and preferably not a fucking liar... (Although, that's a story for another day.)

As a high profile lawyer, I don't have time to waste on relationships, so I fulfill my needs by anonymously chatting and sleeping with women I meet online.

My rules are simple: One dinner. One night. No repeats.

This is only casual sex. Nothing more. Nothing less.

At least it was , until "Alyssa"...

She was supposed to be a 27 year old lawyer, a book hoarder, and completely unattractive. She was supposed to be someone I shared law advice with late at night, someone I could trust with details of my weekly escapades.

But then she came into my firm for an interview—a college-intern interview, and everything fucking changed...



BOOK REVIEW:


I’m gonna admit I bought Reasonable Doubt Volume One waaaaay back in April 2014!

*face plant*

Why did it take me so long to read this über short read? But daaaayum it is good.

I LOVE a quick read that packs a punch and this is so worth reading.

What is even better is you can read these 88 pages for FREEEEEEEEEEEEE! (click on the FREEEEEEEEE)

Now if you are a bit of a prude in the filthy talk and sexy sex department, then this won’t be the book for you, but if you want to step outside your box and give it a whirl, you will probably find yourself squirming in your reading position and realize there is a great story to go with it.

I don’t care how squirm-worthy a story is, if that is all it brings to the table… then I am not that interested. It has to have a good story, great characters and the sexual content is really the icing—if I am reading this style of book.

This book reads like a full sized read. 

And then I checked my Kindle and guess what?

I bought Reasonable Doubt Volume 2 in May 2014 and I just read those 77 pages and I am getting an itchy twitchy finger for volume 3.

Fark, yeah! This was a great read. Writing a good story under 90 pages is not easy, in fact it is very hard to write a satisfying story that readers will gladly also pay more than 99c to read. Whitney G. nailed it.

There is a box set available too with the 3 volumes inside. 

A gazillion readers have already invested in this series and I am coming a little late to the game, but I know that there will still be a pile of you out there who haven't cracked onto it, too.

BOOK REVIEW - ONE NIGHT WITH YOU by MARIE FORCE - FATAL SERIES # 0.5 - SUSPENSE ROMANCE - NOVELLA

By: Marie Force
Published By : HTJB Inc
Released : Available Now
Details : Kindle purchase, 64 pages

RATING : 4.5 STARS

Blurb : Goodreads

Since the debut of Fatal Affair in 2010, Fatal Series readers have been wondering about that “memorable” one-night stand between Sam Holland and Nick Cappuano that took place six years before Fatal Affair opens. Well, wonder no more!

One Night With You tells the story of Sam and Nick’s fateful first meeting in which all the chemistry and heat we have come to expect from them is on full display from the first moments they meet.


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I am reading this series in the reading order stated, hence why I started with the prequel even though it was written after Fatal Affair.

This was my first meet and greet with Nick and Sam.

I really enjoyed this prequel into their lives which has the reader throwing Nick onto the book boyfriend list.

There are certainly sexy times in this novella, but I would have loved a bit more of a solid meet and greet for the basis for this long series. What I mean is I have started Fatal Affair and am over half way and the gorgeous Nick and the intelligent detective who I now know more about... it felt a bit quick. 

It was hawt. No doubt about it.

Not complaining about the sexy times, but knowing he was without her for six years due to reasons, this meet and greet was a hook up, but he really didn’t look at another chick for six years based on it or really pursued her. 

I get this is a novella. I get it is one night.

For me personally I would have liked more vavoom injected into this novella for the grounds of what happened in Fatal Affair. Possibly more of the Peter angle popping up to validate certain things. If you’ve read Fatal Affair you know what I am talking about. 

I wanted to be more invested in the validation of the six year gap when I read Fatal Affair. 

But, I still really enjoyed it. I just wouldn’t raise the bar to five stars for this reasoning. 

I’m now going to get back to Fatal Affair because for the life of me, Marie has me totally stuck on the who-dunn-it. 

This I totally love. She is giving us so many possibilities and this is brilliant. Too many who-dunn-it stories are predictable because you only get one or two suspects. Marie is giving us a boat load and that is very exciting for my mind to churn over as I read.

BADLANDS by CALLIE HART - NOVELLA


By: Callie Hart

Published By: Callie Hart
Released : Available Now
Details : Kindle, 48 Pages

RATINGS: 4.25 MICHAEL STARS

Blurb: Goodreads

***Badlands is a special edition mini novella, covering themes from both the Blood & Roses series and the Dead Man's Ink series.***


Michael Aubertin has an arrangement - one that not only suits him, but also the couple he spends time with, too. No strings. No questions. No complications. Nothing could be simpler.

His work life, on the other hand...

With strange, intense women showing up on his employer's doorstep, dodging crazed English mob bosses, and dealing with a long-lost cousin on a mission, Michael's day couldn't possibly get more complicated.

Badlands is a short story, released especially for Christmas 2015. Michael will be receiving his own full-length story in late 2016.

BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I love Callie Hart's , Blood & Roses series ( dark romance ) where we get to meet Michael.

I will admit straight out I have a lady boner for Michael and was hoping he would get his own full length book, which he is and it's coming 2016.

Huzzah!

This is a little taste, a little novella to wet our whistle as we follow Michael around for a day.

If you have read the Blood & Roses series, then this read is a bit of a step back in time through Michael's eyes.

We get to see his sexual appetite.

We finish the novella wanting more... and maybe purring.

Or that might just be me.

Oh, and the cover. OMG!!! If I could picture Michael, this beautiful man would be him.

Perfect.

Michelle

BOOK REVIEW - BEG by C.D. REISS - SONGS OF SUBMISSION # 1 - CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE - NOVELLA

By: C.D. Reiss
Published By: C.D. Reiss
Released: Available Now
Details: Kindle purchase, 102 Pages

RATING: 4.25 WANT TO KNOW MORE STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

Jonathan Drazen is a known womanizer and a gorgeous piece of
man I'm not letting into my heart. Ever.

Yeah, he's rich, beautiful, charming as hell, and he has a wit as sharp as a double-edged razor... but he's made it perfectly clear that this is a short-term fuck. Three nights, tops, then we part like sexually satisfied grown-ups.

I believe him when he says he can't love me. I'm not trying to fall in love, either.

We get in. Get it on. Get the hell out. Done.

Right?

Right.


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I wondered if the difference in our relative positions bothered him or turned him on. He was a bazillionaire and a customer. I was a waitress with two nickels making heat.

Going in with this novella series, we are told that it is set up like a t.v series. The books are short and there isn’t room for filler and fluffing about.

This I enjoyed.

I read long books and I also enjoy the short reads. 

Oh, the covers are so pretty. Love them!
I am invested already in this series. Jonathan is sexy, rich and well...sexy.

But!

Is his mind invested with somebody else, still?

“She didn’t take a dime. She took everything that mattered.”

Monica is a singer who really made me want to hear, “I’ve got you, under my skin”, the way she sang it.

The sub characters are floating about waiting to come into play more in future instalments, Darren the ex boyfriend and his sister Gabby, who suffers from depression and suicidal tendancies. 

I liked everything about Beg...and now I want to know more. 

“Jonathan Drazen is not going to stay with you long enough to care what you do with your spare time. He is very attracted to you, that much I can see. But he is in love with one woman, and one woman only.”


Bazillionaire meets middle class gal, yeah we’ve read these stories before, but we always want to read another one.

It’s called escapism. 

And who doesn't want to be that middle class girl?

BOOK REVIEW - RYDER by JANI KAY - SCORPIO STINGER MC # 0.5 - BIKER ROMANCE - NOVELLA

By: Jani Kay
Published By: Jani Kay
Released : Available Now
Details: Kindle copy purchased, 129 Pages

RATING: 4 RYDER STARS!

Two worlds colliding. Will it tear them apart?

All Jade ever wants is an intelligent, well-mannered, and highly educated man like her daddy. One who has stellar career prospects as he climbs the corporate ladder to success. A good provider who will give her a stable life and a gorgeous house in the right neighborhood. A charmed life. Everything orderly and well balanced. Her perfect match.

What she doesn’t want is a smartass, cocky, rough-around-the-edges biker. One who has tattoos and piercings, and looks like a sex god. One who is demanding and controlling. The ultimate alpha male who storms into her life and shakes her to the core.
Jade never saw it coming. Ryder is the one man she can’t resist. He shows her what she really needs. Him.

All Ryder wants is inner peace. Freedom from the hatred churning in his gut. Since his mother deserted him, his life has turned to sh*t. He’s killed a man, lost his brother and fought for his survival. All before turning twelve. Saved by Razor and Cobra, sons of the Scorpions, he owes his life and allegiance to them. The Scorpion MC is his only family. One he will serve and protect till his dying breath.

What he doesn’t need in his life is a smart mouthed woman who thinks she’s better than him. One who pushes every one of his buttons. One who challenges him to want to be more than a drifter. One who makes him question everything he’s ever known. Ryder never saw it coming. He can’t get Jade out of his head. She shows him what he really wants. Her. Ryder wants Jade beneath him. Submitting to him and only him.

Can two people, so different in every way, find love? Or will their different worlds collide and tear them apart?




BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:


This was a great start to the Scorpio Stinger MC series and my very first Jani Kay read.

I’m really looking forward to reading more. I bought Two Worlds Colliding, yesterday, so I am set to get me some more biker romance on.

I think Ryder possibly let me down a little when he would use ‘bitch’ as a term of endearment, but nothing worth getting all pepped up over.

I really liked seeing his caring nature with Mia and the kids and all fierce and protective when the time needed it.

Jade is a character I think who’ll have to grow on me. I’m not quite there yet.

Every book in this series sells really well, so I am intrigued to know more.

Well done Jani. J

BOOK BLITZ - RAVAGED by ELISABETH NAUGHTON - ETERNAL GUARDIANS # 7.5 - NOVELLA - PARANORMAL FANTASY ROMANCE - RELEASE DAY LAUNCH


Ravaged RDL Banner  


We are so excited to bring you the Release Day Launch for Elisabeth Naughton's RAVAGED! RAVAGED is a Paranormal Fantasy Romance novella in Elisabeth’s Eternal Guardians Series! This is a 1001 Dark Nights novella so it is exclusively available as Amazon Kindle and Paperback! Grab your copy today!

  RAVAGED - Cover

Amazon US Kindle ** Amazon Paperback ** Amazon UK Kindle



EXCERPT:


“Better.” Sappheire, Athena’s right-hand Siren and the leader of Zeus’s female warrior army, nodded at Daphne’s side. “You keep practicing and you’ll get there.”

Daphne wasn’t so sure. All Sirens went through rigorous training in a variety of different areas—combat, seduction, warfare, strategy—and she’d passed each section with high marks from her trainers. But she couldn’t take her final Siren vows until she conquered the marksmanship exam. And at the moment, her aim wasn’t even close to one-hundred percent, which was why she was out here now, on the training field behind Siren headquarters, working on her shot long after the other recruits had retired to the mess hall for dinner. So far she’d failed the test three times. Until she could hit a target repeatedly dead center—without injuring herself—she was SOL. Which meant her dream of being a full-fledged Siren kept hovering in the distance, just out of reach.

“That’s a nice thought,” she said, lowering her bow and shaking out her hand. “I’m not sure how realistic it is, though.”

“Persistence will pay off.” Sappheire’s luxuriously sleek mane—a mixture of blonde and chestnut and ginger locks—swayed as she turned Daphne’s way, and those brilliant blue eyes for which she was named sparkled. “If this is your calling, it’ll happen. Just don’t give up.”

Dressed in form-fitting black pants, a tight, black, low-cut tank that showed off her cleavage and muscular arms, and kick-ass stiletto boots that elongated her legs, Sappheire pressed the button at the end of her bow, shrinking the weapon down to a six-inch metal bar. She’d lost the leather breastplate and arm guards she usually wore in the field, but she still looked as menacing as any warrior. And not for the first time, Daphne was glad this Siren had taken a liking to her instead of harassing her as she did some of the other recruits.

Slipping the weapon into her boot, Sappheire added, “Athena’s been watching you.”

Watching her fail? Daphne winced. She wasn’t sure she needed to know that, not when she already felt like a major loser.

Daphne shrank her own weapon. She was dressed the same as Sappheire—tight black pants, fitted black tank, crazy high boots it had taken her years to learn to walk in—but where Sappheire wore the outfit with confidence and grace, Daphne still felt awkward in the take-notice-of-me-now getup. “Well, if nothing else, I’m sure she’s entertained.”



Ravaged - Teaser 1  




RAVAGED Synopsis: 


Ari—Once an Eternal Guardian, now he's nothing but a rogue mercenary with one singular focus: revenge.

His guardian brothers all think he’s dead, but Ari is very much alive in the human realm, chipping away at Zeus’s Sirens every chance he can, reveling in his brutality and anonymity. Until, that is, he abducts the wrong female and his identity is finally exposed. It will take more than the Eternal Guardians, more even than the gods to rein Ari in after everything he’s done. It may just take the courage of one woman willing to stand up to a warrior who’s become a savage.

BOOK REVIEW - THIS NIGHT SO DARK by AMIE KAUFMAN & MEAGAN SPOONER - YA SCI-FI - DISNEY HYPERION - NOVELLA

By: Amie Kaufman & Meagan Spooner
Published By: Disney Hyperion
Released : Available Now on Amazon for 0.00
Details: Approx 46 Pages plus sneak peeks at These Broken Stars & This Shattered World

RATING: 4 ACTION STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

Don’t miss the breathtaking short story that connects the first two novels in the Starbound trilogy, These Broken Stars and This Shattered World.

Tarver still has nightmares about the night, six months before the Icarus crash, when he rescued a group of civilian researchers being held hostage by brutal mercenaries. Now Tarver and Lilac must reconcile his memories of that fateful night with the truth that they uncovered on a mysterious planet after the Icarus crashed.

Includes a bonus preview chapter from This Shattered World!


BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:


Let me start by saying this is a very short read and I thought it was worth discovering why Tarver was promoted to Major from Captain in These Broken Stars. I liked knowing him more.

This is the action that was missing for me, from These Broken Stars. Captain Tarver is on patrol with Private Gil Fisk and then all shit goes down.

There was a twist and there was action, shooting, death and mercenaries.

Hell. Yeah!

It was all over in around 46 pages because you get a sneak peek at These Broken Stars and This Shattered World at the end of it.

Visually I saw it like a little mini movie. This is what I wanted in These Broken Stars. I saw Tarver in action mode and how he became famous when he appeared at the start of These Broken Stars.

This is a prequel set six months prior to book one.

The girls gave me the oomph I was looking for in this prequel. I have my fingers crossed that This Shattered World is all action and excitement like the taste I got from this novella. This could have almost been made into a first book. But as they say, that ship has sailed.

Well done, ladies.

BOOK REVIEW - FOLLOW by J.A. HUSS - SOCIAL MEDIA # 1 - NOVELLA SERIAL - EROTIC CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE

By: J.A. Huss
Published By: Science Future Press
Released : Available Now
Details : Kindle, 150 Pages

RATING: 4.5 CLEVER STARS!

Blurb: Goodreads

#Women.

I fuck them. I use them. I pay them off. I find another. My demands are never denied. My contracts are always signed. They submit to me. Willingly. Completely. Temporarily. This is how it's always been.

Until I saw that filthy tweet.

@VaughnAsher My bare pussy. Your tongue.#ThingsIThinkAboutToGetOff

"FilthyBlueBird" thinks she can tease me with hashtags and then hide behind a Twitter handle? She thinks I wouldn't be more than happy to #RockHerFilthyWorld? She's wrong.

Her online fantasy is about to collide with her public reality, and it's about to happen... now.

THIS IS A SERIAL NOVELLA
THAT MEANS ALL ENDINGS ARE CLIFFHANGERS
THIS NOVELLA IS ABOUT 150 PAGES LONG
THIS IS PART ONE OF SIX
BOOKS ARE RELEASED EVERY TWO WEEKS



BOOK REVIEW by Michelle:

I LOVE reading J.A. Huss. She just knows how to write a male character and make him sometimes a little quirky/different, a lot smexi and he always has a mouth on him. What I mean by that is they know how to talk to the reader.

We hang off their words.

You thought I meant something else, didn’t you!

Well there is that too. J


Vaughn Asher is a character who at times is indecisive, but bottom line he knows how to make a girl work for his actions. He has contracts because he is into kink. He wants to keep his image clean on the outside and full of dirty kink on the inside.

Yes, the Vaughn Asher. A Hollywood legend. He started out in a boy band 2 Far Out, then when his angelic voice changed as he hit puberty he graduated into Disney sitcoms. Most child actors would fade after that, never able to make the transition. But Vaughn Asher doubled down on the workouts-- gaining the title of Most Envied Body in Hollywood six years in a row from Buzz Hollywood Magazine-- and the preteen wannabe turned into an action-hero heartthrob overnight.

Grace Kinsella is a tweeter. She is a player with her words. She is good at what she does. She hides behind her twitter name and talks/ tweets filth to the man, 
movie star Vaughn Asher, who she has been mooning, crushing over.

Yes, my name is Grace Kinsella and I’m a filthy tweeter.

I can turn a hundred and forty characters into living sex. I can string words together in a way that will make you wet your panties with lust. I can make a man blush before he even gets to the hashtag. I am famous for pithy filth.


She is brave with her filth and what she would like to do to him. Brave because he doesn’t know who she is.

But what happens when Grace comes face to face with the man she has been tweeting filthy tweets to? Her Dirty Heaven muse is thirty two years old and he wants to contract Grace.

“You are in control of yourself at all times, Grace. But just know... you will never, ever be in control of me.”

What happens when he discovers who is behind the filth?

Grace is a spit fire.

“I want to look at you to see if you’re a monster or just a kinky asshole.” 


I’m not sure how I feel about her at the moment. I think it is too early for me. I need to read more installments. What I do know is I think she puts on a brave face, but her life hasn’t been easy.

Who needs reality anyway? Reality is being orphaned at thirteen. Reality is foster homes and loneliness. Reality is a risk ripe for disappointment.


I thought this was a very clever idea for a serial of novellas. Naturally the first in the series is all about getting to know the players, some teasing with erotic foreplay before we get deeper into the story of the main leads.

We are going to be fed parts in two week installments. This will keep me very entertained. I love the serial title and I love the installment titles.

Clever!

Read EOBS = End Of Book Shit, which is indeedy at the end of the book. J.A. Huss is humorous and playful with her EOBS. Worth a read.

An awesome start to this new series, I am excited I can read Like next and Block is just around the corner.

RELEASE DAY BLITZ - PIPER & KADE by ELIZA BROWN - VIPERS DEN PART 1 - CONTEMPORARY ROMANCE - NOVELLA





Book: Vipers Den

Author: Eliza Brown
Genre: Contemporary Romance Novella
1st in a series of Novella’s






Synopsis


I’m Piper Jones, owner and operator or Vipers’ Den; a hair and beauty salon catering to the unconventional. My clients are often referred to as: eccentric, freaks, or misfits.

I’m also single, a fact my mother is less than pleased with. Making it her mission to change my status, she continually sets me up on dates with her friend’s offspring. Only her roster of “gems” is dwindling. Each date is worse than the last. Then Kade Benson, the one man I have loathed for as long as I can remember, approached me with the most asinine (borderline genius) plan I’d ever heard to rectify both of our situations. As ludicrous as it is, it might just work. However, I never expected things to work out the way they did.

Author Bio


Eliza Brown is a simple little housewife from Cairns, Australia, with a wicked good imagination. She is the mother to three crazily cute kids and the wife of a Sexy Arse Tree Lopper. She is also baby sister to a Certified Nutbag, a Linesman and a Fireman.

Eliza spends her days running around after her kids and jotting down stories that come to her at inconvenient moments in her leather, flower embossed notebook. (She is very particular about her stationary.) Or in her iPhone or iPad or whatever she can get her hands on. (Damn kids keep running off with her stationary.)

When the kids are napping nine times out of ten, you will find Eliza sitting at her computer typing as fast as she can while she can. Generally with her phone wedged between her shoulder and ear bouncing ideas off her sister.
