Too Hot to Handle by Tessa Bailey

From New York Times Bestselling author Tessa Bailey comes the first novel in her hot, new Romancing the Clarksons Series.

 

When Rita Clarkson’s Suburban takes its last breath on a New Mexico roadside, rescue roars up on a Harley in the form of smooth-talking honkey tonk owner, Jasper Ellis, a man as mysterious as he is charming. Rita’s cross-country journey to New York City–with her three estranged siblings in tow–is only beginning, but now that Jasper has found Rita, his plans do not include her leaving.

When rescue looks like a whole lot of trouble . . .

The road trip was definitely a bad idea. Having already flambéed her culinary career beyond recognition, Rita Clarkson is now stranded in God-Knows-Where, New Mexico, with a busted-ass car and her three temperamental siblings, who she hasn’t seen in years. When rescue shows up—six-feet-plus of hot, charming sex on a motorcycle—Rita’s pretty certain she’s gone from the frying pan right into the fire . . .

Jasper Ellis has a bad boy reputation in this town, and he loathes it. The moment he sees Rita, though, Jasper knows he’s about to be sorely tempted. There’s something real between them. Something raw. And Jasper has only a few days to show Rita that he isn’t just for tonight—he’s forever.

 

REVIEW

(By Cindy Meyer)

If you had asked me a week ago, I would have told you that there is nothing sexier than Tessa Bailey’s dirty talking cops. Like cactus, prickly on the outside, but gooey soft on the inside.  Well, cactus now has competition: a desert rat by the name of Jasper Ellis.

Too Hot to Handle is the first book in Tessa Bailey’s Romancing the Clarksons series, and it’s Rita’s story. Desperate to escape the shadows of a life in San Diego that has spelled nothing but disappointment – mostly in herself - Rita convinces her siblings to take a cross-country road trip, believing that it is their mother’s dying wish that her children join the Polar Bear Club. Belmont, Peggy, Rita and Aaron set out with the goal of jumping onto the Atlantic Ocean at Coney Island on New Year’s Day. But their plans change less than a day on the road.

Car trouble, and maybe a little divine providence, have the Clarksons stranded in Hurley, New Mexico at the mercy of the only garage mechanic in town, and Rita at the mercy of Jasper Ellis, the self-described joke of Hurley.  Jasper and Rita couldn’t be more and less alike at the same time. Their attraction is instantly electric, but neither trusts that they could ever do anything but disappoint the other – not to mention the fact that Rita and her siblings are only in town for the day. Of course, with a little motivation, Jasper may be able to use his influence with the local mechanic to extend their visit.

The Clarkson ensemble is, for me, among the most complicated characters Tessa Bailey has ever penned. The siblings have a love-hate dynamic that was both confusing and liberating, sad and humorous. The story took on different perspectives of the characters so that the reader was a part of each painful struggle.  It’s a sure sign of greatness when the last chapter has me sobbing into my pillow.

Five tear-stained stars!

EXCERPT

He dipped down until they were nose to nose, saw the rush of thought going on behind her eyes. It was pretty damn breathtaking up close. “Mind cluing me in as to what’s going on in there?”
“If—if—we need to stay overnight—”
“You will.”
“—then I might see you at the bar.” She wedged a hand between them and separated their bodies. 
“I’d rather see someone’s worst than their best. Saves time.”
Jasper heard the tow truck pulling into the garage parking lot and cursed. Not even remotely confident that his first attempt at polite conversation with an available woman had been successful, Jasper walked her backward until they were hidden behind a rusted pay phone. She’d broken away from his touch, so he was careful to respect that. He dropped his mouth to an inch above hers and said, low, “I didn’t get near enough time with you, Rita. If you don’t show up tonight, don’t be surprised if I come looking.” He laid his palms against the warm building, above her head, watched her gaze dip to his stomach. His lap. “And if I have to come looking, I’ll be twice as determined to get that kiss.”
Her head came up. “W-what kiss?”
Jasper lowered his mouth until their lips brushed. He listened to her breath accelerate, watched her wet her lips. “The one I want to give you right now.” He allowed himself to linger another few seconds, then, with the effort of ten oxen, Jasper stepped back. “Tonight, beautiful.”
On his way to his bike, Jasper tipped his hat at Rita’s gaping siblings.

About Tessa Bailey: Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans and laptop, driving cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention. She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband of eight years and four-year-old daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.

Blog Tour/Review - Deception by Aleatha Romig

DECEPTION, book THREE of FIVE in Aleatha Romig's INFIDELITY series.

"Infidelity - it isn't what you think"

It all began in Del Mar, a chance meeting with a single rule--one week only.

Or did it?

Lennox ‘Nox’ Demetri and Alexandria ‘Charli’ Collins had every intention of following it but rules are made to be broken. In CUNNING they are reunited with Nox setting down new rules for the game and Charli having no choice but to follow them.

Now, once again, the game has changed. Nox and Charli’s hot sensual encounter has grown into something more but it is threatened with secrets and regrets. Is it their love and intense sexual chemistry that’s pushing them together or something darker, a puppetmaster behind the scenes pulling the strings on their love affair?

Shadowy villains lurk around each corner and everyone is suspect as Nox’s and Charli's pasts collide with the present and threaten to compel them back to their predestined fates.

Can deals brokered in the past be negated by something as pure as love and as steamy as the attraction shared by Nox and Charli? Or was it all a deception—starting with that very first meeting?

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own. With classic Aleatha Romig twists and turns, the depth of this epic romantic suspense continues to reach new levels as past and present intertwine. The Infidelity series will have readers swooning one minute and screaming the next.

Have you been Aleatha'd?

DECEPTION is a full-length novel, over 300 pages, and the third of five books in the INFIDELITY series - It isn't what you think!

(This series is not about nor does it advocate or condone cheating)

EXCERPT:

Gripping the phone, I nodded, though I knew he couldn't see me.

"If I were there, I'd unwrap you, like a fucking Christmas present. Each piece of your clothing would find its way to the floor as I exposed your perfect, sexy-as-hell body. I'd run my fingers and tongue over every inch of that soft skin, tasting you and leaving goose bumps as a trail of my exploration."

My eyes closed as his words touched me.

"Princess, I'd punish your ass for your insolence in pushing to go back to the city tomorrow and for scaring the shit out of me by not answering your phone. Then after I turned it fire-engine red, I'd make it feel better, showing you how much I admire your strength and determination."

My neck strained as I sucked in a breath, lifting my behind from the mattress and imagined all he described.

"I'm not there," Nox continued, "but I'm going to take what I can get. Do you have a problem with that?"

"N-no." My voice sounded wonton, even to my own ears.

"Now, princess, tell me what you're wearing."

I hurriedly kicked back the covers, revealing my yoga pants and stocking-covered feet. "A big t-shirt, yoga pants, socks..."

"Stop."

I sucked my lower lip between my teeth, waiting for his next command.

"Tell me what I want you to be wearing."

"Nox?"

"Is the bedroom door locked?" he asked.

"I-I don't remember."

"Lock the door, Charli."

Without thinking, my feet, covered with fuzzy socks, landed on the soft rug that surrounded the big bed. My socks slid as I skated across the wood floor, no longer worried about ghosts or Demetri secrets.

My thoughts were now consumed with everything Nox.

I tested the knob. As I did, it clicked and the small button within the knob popped out. I pushed the button back in and verbally confirmed my mission. "The door's locked."

"Are the blinds shut?"

I turned toward the windows. Was it still raining? I couldn't hear anything but the way Nox's voice reverberated through the phone, sending shockwaves throughout my body, my blood coursing to keep up. "They're shut."

"Keep the lights on."

My hand lingered over the switch. Would he know if I disobeyed?

"Tell me they're on."

With a sigh, I did as he said and moved my hand away from the switch. "They're still on."

"Now, put me on speaker phone. I want you to fix the attire problem we mentioned earlier."

My lower lip disappeared as I hit the speaker button and laid my phone on the bed.

"Charli, you need to respond to me. I can only hear you."

"Yes, Nox."

(Review by Cindy Meyer)

Deception is the third book in the 5-part Infidelity series by Aleatha Romig. One of the things I’m loving about this series is that each successive book picks up right where the previous book left off. Like, literally in the same scene. This gives the story a flow that makes it seem like we’re just turning the page on one continuous story.

Lennox (Nox) and Alex (Charli) continue to struggle with the events of their past. Those events and the people in them (namely their respective families) persist in challenging their ability to trust one another. Nox is consumed by his need to protect Alex. At the same time, Alex is overwhelmed by her need for independence, but Alex’s family secrets and deceptions threaten to damage the budding and fragile love that is only just beginning to take root.

Some readers may balk at the idea of a series; especially one that’s five books long and so dependent on the book before. Well, I say “bring it on.” After all, this is Aleatha Romig we’re talking about. She weaves a story of intrigue and love so complex, that each book ends leaving readers wanting – no craving – more. A word of warning: Deception has its share of bombshells, so watch out for falling debris!

Nox and Charli’s histories have more twists and turns than a rollercoaster ride at Disneyland. It’s going to take five books to unravel it all. In the meantime, readers have the distinct pleasure of being able to witness to an amazing story of falling in love and learning to trust between two characters that have nothing in common, while at the same time, are more alike than either even knows.

Five intriguing stars.

BETRAYAL

One week. No future. No past. No more.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined.  With her heart at stake, she forgets that decisions made in the dark of night reappear in the bright light of day.

"Some of my tastes are unique. They aren’t for everyone. I understand that.”

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive—he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one:  

One week. No more.

When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken.

"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?"

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig comes a sexy, new dominant hero who knows what he wants, and a strong-willed heroine who has plans of her own.

"He owns you. Whatever he tells you to do you do".

One year. No future. A past that won't go away.

Lennox "Nox" Demetri broke his own rule by making a deal. It may not have been directly with the devil, but that doesn't mean Satan himself isn't watching. Was it fate that brought Charli into his life and his bed? What will happen when rules are broken and secrets are revealed?

"New rules...my rules."

Alex "Charli" Collins found pleasure with Nox like she'd never known. That was before she knew his last name. Now that Infidelity is involved and the rules have changed, what will result when real life and fantasy collide?

ABOUT MISTER O:

✮✮✮MISTER O will be available on Kindle on release day May 2!✮✮✮

Just call me Mister O. Because YOUR pleasure is my super power.

Making a woman feel 'oh-god-that's-good' is the name of the game, and if a man can't get the job done, he should get the hell out of the bedroom. I'm talking toe-curling, mind-blowing, sheet-grabbing ecstasy. Like I provide every time.

I suppose that makes me a superhero of pleasure, and my mission is to always deliver.

But then I'm thrown for a loop when a certain woman asks me to teach her everything about how to win a man. The only problem? She's my best friend's sister, but she's far too tempting to resist--especially when I learn that sweet, sexy Harper has a dirty mind too and wants to put it to good use. What could possibly go wrong as I give the woman I've secretly wanted some no-strings-attached lessons in seduction?

No one will know, even if we send a few dirty sexts. Okay, a few hundred. Or if the zipper on her dress gets stuck. Not on that! Or if she gives me those f*&k-me-eyes on the train in front of her whole family.

The trouble is the more nights I spend with her in bed, the more days I want to spend with her out of bed. And for the first time ever, I'm not only thinking about how to make a woman cry out in pleasure --I'm thinking about how to keep her in my arms for a long time to come.

Looks like the real Adventures of Mister Orgasm have only just begun....

**MISTER O is a standalone romantic comedy and it follows supporting characters first introduced in BIG ROCK**

 

"A sexy, delicious, toe-curlingly good time!"

- NYT Bestselling Author Marie Force

 

"Nick is hilarious, sexy, passionate, sweet, and knows that cake is very important to a woman's heart and soul. Together, their banter is refreshing, their sex is off-the charts hot, and their minds are brilliant." - Sandra at Two Book Pushers

Cindy's Review

 

Okay, I know I’m repeating myself here, but…  Lauren Blakely is HANDS DOWN my go-to “feel good” author, and her latest in the series of snarky, sexy male POVs books is no exception!  I loved Big Rock, but I floved Mr. Orgasm! 

Nick is cocky, but not in a prickly way. He’s definitely self-confident when it comes to the female anatomy, and he sure knows his way around the ‘O’.  Just ask him, he’ll tell you.  But when it comes to the Harper, his best friend Spencer’s (you remember him from Big Rock) quirky sister, his confidence is a little shaken. Of course she’s off limits, but tell that to his… um… brain?

The dynamic between these two characters is endearing. The dialogue is sharp and witty. Being inside Nick’s head put a non-stop smile on my face. Mr. Orgasm is a standalone, so you can one-click and dive right in. Go! Now! The O’s are waiting!

Five perpetually smiling stars!

Excerpt

“You’re good, Nick. You know just what to do and how to behave. This is why you attract women in droves.”
            I kind of want to protest. I feel like she has this impression of me that I don’t necessarily want her to have, but I’m not sure how to deflect this. “Because I have a gift?” 
            “That and several other reasons.” She waves broadly at my arms. It’s October, but it’s not chilly tonight so I don’t have a jacket on. “First, there are the arms. All that ink and muscle.”
            She roams her eyes over my biceps. “I mean, your ink is awesome,” she says, pointing to the shapes and swirls I designed myself. The tattoos are abstract lines and curves, but inside them there’s a sun, a moon, and stars, because those were the first things I realized I was good at drawing.
            “Then, the body. Mr. Men’s Health-I’m-so-fit,” she says in this mocking tone, but it’s not me she’s making fun of. It’s the article.
            “You read it?”
            “I read everything. I devour information,” she says, and we’re right back to that place I seem to inhabit with her, where she compliments me, but she could be saying it like I’m a car she’s considering buying. And this one has one hundred seventy horsepower.
            “And then, there’s your face, and you have all this awesome scruff on it.”
            I run a hand over my jaw, and the neat, trim beard that’s like an additional sex toy I can bring to the bedroom. “Chicks dig the beard,” I say, with a lopsided grin.
            “I bet they do,” she says under her breath. She doesn’t say anything else right away. She presses her teeth into the corner of her lip and then speaks, more softly than before. “Can I feel it?”
            FUCK, YES.
            She raises her hand and touches my jaw. My breath hitches as she runs her thumb across the light bristles. I’m keenly aware of every second that passes, one ticking into the next as she touches me, stroking my jawline like she’s mesmerized by the texture.
            “Soft,” she whispers, almost in wonder as she stares at my chin. My heart starts hammering, and I fight to stay still. When she says, “But kind of hard, too,” I swear, I don’t know how I manage not to cup her cheeks, back her up against the stone wall, and just kiss the hell out of her. Kiss, touch, grind, and then some. I want to yank that lush body against mine, let her feel how much she turns me on, and find out if I do the same thing to her. The way her breath barely catches sends my mind spinning and lust spiraling tight in me. I can’t help but hope she wants what I do, and it feels like she could, going by the way she touches my face. It truly fucking does, and maybe that’s why her name takes shape in my throat like a warning. 
            So she knows she’s playing with fire if she touches me like this again.
