"Out of Bounds smolders with heat, desire, and wicked swoon-worthy excitement!" ~Beneath the Covers Book Blog 

"So much passion and intensity that you wouldn't expect in a sports romance, but once again, Lauren Blakely BRINGS IT” ~Shayna Renee Spicy Reads

The first rule of football--don't screw with a streak.

My career is finally looking up, and I'm leading a new pro team down the field every Sunday. No way will I mess with that. But when I meet the most stunning and captivating woman I've ever seen, I tell myself one night will have to be enough.

But it's not. And now I can't get her out of my mind. Even when I'm playing. Even when I need to focus. Even when I’m on the hottest streak of my life.

And it turns out, she's not just some random woman I met. She works for the team. My team.

***

I only have one goal this season--do my part as the team's lawyer to keep them out of trouble. Help rebuild their reputation on and off the field. There's no room for error and certainly no room for a secret tryst with a player . . . even if he's the quarterback.

Right?

Review

(by Cindy)

Whether it’s a full length novel or a sweet and sexy novella, Lauren Blakely always delivers. Out of Bounds is Lauren’s latest release, and just in time for the weekend!

A chance meeting between two strangers, sparks fly, along with the flirts, but ends with "nice meeting you" and the two walk away. Okay, so maybe the theme isn’t new, but Out of Bounds brings a delightful twist to a familiar story in a way that only author Lauren Blakely can.

Professionals, each at the top of their respective professions, Drew and Dani are the right blend of smart and fun, flirty and sexy. I love what they each contributed to the story. The characters are equally confident and intelligent, making for a dramatic romance, but without the drama. It is the perfect one-sitting read.

Five Stars!

"The perfect mix of sexiness, laughter, and sweetness."

~Two Book Pushers

   

Excerpt

“Be on your best behavior, Drew,” he says, a teasing tone in his voice.

            “I always am,” I reply, and the fact is, that’s true. Clean-cut is my nickname.

            “And text if you’re done early.”

            “If I’m done early, I’m having a date with my mattress.”

            He groans. “You are the definition of no fun.”

            I grin. “That’s me. That’s why Qwench wants me now. Because I know how to get a good night’s sleep and stay out of the line of fire.”

            When I hang up, I step out of the car, hand the keys to the valet, and thank him. Then I head inside, where Stuart greets me in the room reserved for the event, claps me on the back, and introduces me to several people. A photographer snaps shots the whole time, and I play the role that’s hardly a role—the outgoing, non-trouble-making, peace-loving quarterback who doesn’t throw punches or raise fists, like others before me have. 

            Don’t smoke, don’t do drugs, don’t have unprotected sex, and I also don’t speed. Squeaky clean indeed. Not even a traffic ticket on the record, and certainly no knocked-up teenyboppers with mini Drews baking in their bellies.

            Stuart introduces me to the red-haired, freckle-faced guy who heads up this charity. “And this is Drew Erickson. He’s our new starter. We’re thrilled to have him on the team, especially since he’s already active with many wonderful charitable endeavors,” Stuart says to the ginger-haired guy.

            We exchange small talk for a few minutes, then Stuart drops a hand on my shoulder and tells me there’s someone else he wants me to meet. “I’d love to introduce you to a sharp-as-a-tack woman who makes sure I don’t fumble,” he says, then winks in case I didn’t realize he was making a joke.

            I smile to let him know I got it—fumbling humor and all—then my smile turns into a ruler-straight line when I turn on my heels and see my surfer angel.

            Holy shit. She’s hot as sin in a red skirt, white blouse, and black heels. She holds a drink. Her blond hair is twisted on her head. Damn. The smoking-hot look is almost enough to make me forget she blew me off. My dick, the traitorous bastard, has already come down with amnesia. The fucker wants her.

            “This is Dani Paige. She’s an attorney for the team,” he says, and I attempt to school my expression as I come face-to-face with the woman who ditched me.

            And all I want to do is toss her on my shoulder, stalk to the bathroom, slam the door, and ask her why the fuck she didn’t call. Then when she tells me it was because she was too busy getting off to thoughts of me, I’d kiss the hell out of her until she melted in my arms and begged me to take her. I’d happily oblige. Hoist her up, hook her legs around my hips, and fuck her against the wall until she comes harder than she ever has before.

            Instead, I shake her free hand. “Pleasure to meet you.” Then I whisper, just for her. “Jaws.”

MASTERING HER SENSES by Laura Kaye - Cover Reveal

Decadent… Sensual… Forbidden…

12 Masters. 12 Desires. 12 Fantasies Come to Life. Meet the Masters of Blasphemy…

Releasing February 21, 2017, MASTERING HER SENSES is the second full-length novel in Laura Kaye's Blasphemy Series. Check out the amazing cover created by Kim Killion from The Killion Group below!

 

A Note from Laura Kaye:

Friends! I’m so excited to share the cover for Mastering Her Senses, the second book in my new erotic Blasphemy series! I’ve been dying to write Master Quinton since he first appeared on the page, and now he is coming your way this February. I’m also excited because the heroine, Cassia Locke, is the sister of one of the Raven Riders (Jagger Locke), so there will be some fun series crossover happening in this book, too! So, so much to love! I hope you’ll check it out and the other books in the series, too!

xo, Laura

12 Masters. Infinite fantasies. Welcome to Blasphemy…

He wants to dominate her senses—and her heart…

Quinton Ross has always been a thrill-seeker—so it’s no surprise that he’s drawn to extremes in the bedroom and at his BDSM club, Blasphemy, where he creates sense-depriving scenarios that blow submissives’ minds. Now if he could just find one who needs the rush as much as him…

When an accident leaves Cassia Locke with a paralyzing fear of the dark, she’ll try anything to get help. Ready to fight, she knows just who to ask for help—the hard-bodied, funny-as-hell Dom she’d always crushed on—and once stood up.

Quinton is shocked and a little leery to see Cassia, but he can’t pass up the chance to dominate the alluring little sub this time. Introducing her to sensory deprivation becomes his new favorite obsession, and watching her fight fear is its own thrill. But when doubt threatens to send her running again, Quinton must find a way to master her senses—and her heart.

The Light Series by Aleatha Romig

 The Light Series

by New York Times Best Selling Author

Aleatha Romig

Amazon

An investigator's search for a friend draws her into a world darker than she could have imagined.

Sara Adams awakes blind, unable to remember the most basic details of her life, but her darkness seems a blessing when she discovers the terrors of The Light.

Stella Montgomery investigates the news on the mean streets of Detroit, where she’s noticed a disturbing trend: young women are vanishing. When her best friend disappears, Stella investigates—despite warnings from her police detective boyfriend—following a twisted trail that leads her through the city’s most dangerous and forsaken precincts. There she uncovers something more sinister than she could have imagined: a shadowy organization known as The Light, led by the enigmatic Father Gabriel.

As Sara struggles to understand her place in the strange world she’s awakened to—an oppressive cult demanding unquestioning obedience—and her feelings for Jacob, the husband she can’t recall and whose harsh and tender attentions confuse and beguile her, Stella risks all to discover the truth. But enlightenment always comes with a price...

Review

(by Cindy Meyer)

Have you been Aleatha’d?

It’s a saying among Aleatha Romig readers; one that only someone who’s actually experienced what that feels like could truly answer.  Admittedly, it’s an experience I’ve “suffered” numerous times, and it’s happened again.  Into the Light is book one of Aleatha Romig’s The Light Series.

I always expect twists and turns when it comes to this author. At its best, the anxiety keeps me up into the wee hours of the morning. At its worst, I can’t read for more than a chapter or two without having to put the book down and find something to distract me from the building anxiety. Into the Light caused both.  The prologue alone is the kind of stuff movies are made of.

Stella Montgomery’s best friend has disappeared. As a top investigator for a leading news station in Detroit, Stella uses her connections to try and find out what has happened to her friend and colleague, Mindy. Through her contacts, she stumbles upon a staggering statistic: Detroit boasts the disappearance of more women per capita than anywhere else in the Country. Is it possible that the two are connected?

Sara Adams wakes blind from a coma, trapped in a world she can neither see nor remember. The followers of The Light, including Jacob, her husband, speak and act with a sense of familiarity that Sara can’t explain, but she’s somehow convinced is real. She struggles to recall a memory, anything that can connect her mind to events before the incident that landed her in the hospital.

Despite the insistence of The Light’s followers, Sara’s inquisitive instincts have her questioning whether the submissive manner of the women of The Light could have ever been the Sara they say she was. The men of The Light demand obedience, and her husband – Jacob – is swift to issue punishment when Sara falls short of those expectations. But Jacob is also fiercely protective and tenderly loving. It confuses Sara. He’s affectionate in one minute and exacting in the next. It’s a dichotomy that brings her both comfort and fear.

I always find myself trying to stay one step ahead of Aleatha Romig’s stories. Half the fun is attempting to figure out where she’s going before we get there. Into the Light challenged me to do the same. The story alternates between characters, weaving a story of both intrigue and outrage. The author is careful and crafty in leaving clues – tasty little morsels that, if I wasn’t watching out for them, I could have read right past, not stopping to pick them up to savor.

Of course, in true Aleatha Romig style, the biggest shoe drops in the last one percent – YES! I SAID 1% -- of the story, leaving me right where I, honestly, expected to be: deliciously hanging until Away from the Dark (later this year).

So, let me answer my original question.  Yes! I’ve been Aleatha’d.  Have you?

Five amazing stars!

Nine months ago, Sara Adams awoke with no memory. The man holding her hand told her she's a member of The Light, a tight-knit religious group led by the terrifying and charismatic Father Gabriel. As a women in the community of The Light, her duty is to be unquestionably obedient and to submit to the will of her husband.

But as Sara's memory starts to return and she remembers her past, she sees that everything she's been told is a lie. The Light is an insidious and dangerous organization, and its corrupting influence reaches well beyond the confines of the remote campus where Sara is being held.

With everything at stake, Sara struggles to sort out her true memories from her indoctrination. The desire to escape consumes her, but who can she trust? And which other followers of The Light were forced into this life, brainwashed to believe they belonged? The more she remembers, the more it becomes clear that Jacob, the man who calls himself her husband, is keeping shattering secrets of his own.

But Sara cannot flee along, leaving innocents behind. She must fight to extinguish The Light.

Review

(by Cindy Meyer)

Aleatha Romig has a way of grabbing her readers by the throat and not letting go until we are literally and figuratively gasping for air. Away From the Dark pushed me to the point that, many times, I had to put the book down and walk away just to catch my breath. Away From the Dark is the chilling conclusion to Aleatha Romig’s The Light Series.

I 'm so afraid to say anything that risk spoiling the plot, and I fear even the slightest hint may do that. I want readers to “suffer” as much as I did while turning page after page. Suffice to say that you will NOT be disappointed. Oh, you’ll be terrified, and you’ll be shocked, and you’ll even be outraged, but disappointed? Nope.

Jacob is away from the Northern Light on an errand for Father Gabriel, and Sara is missing. That’s where Into the Light ends and that’s exactly where Away From the Dark begins. There are questions, and holes in Sara's memory, and missing information for both of them. But rest assured, the author carefully and craftily leads her characters (and her readers) on a journey where all will be revealed. Or will it?

One other thing you’ll be? Definitely left asking even more questions.

I cannot say enough about This book. This series. This author.

Five phenomenal stars.

Bravo, Aleatha, and congratulations!

She tells herself she doesn't have time for romance anyway, as she's fighting to keep her mother's beloved bakery afloat and finish her culinary studies. That all changes when her class tours the famed Sugar Rush headquarters, and Polly collides with her dream man again. As she succumbs to their hot attraction, Polly soon realizes her bakery isn't the only thing that needs saving. Luke, driven and unyielding, will burn out unless someone convinces him to taste the sweetness of life. But can Polly remember this sugar rush is only temporary?

Review (By Cindy)

Recipe:  One sexy work-a-holic CEO of Sugar Rush Candy Company

              One shy uninhibited owner of Wild Child Bakery

              Dash (well, several actually) of steam

              An element or two of unexpected chance encounters

Instructions: Blend the two main ingredients, stir in chance encounters at perfectly-timed increments, add steam, and then a little more for good measure. Continue stirring until well-blended.

Garnish generously with sweetness and passion.

Serve: A decadent and fulfilling culinary masterpiece disguised as contemporary romance.

Sweet Dreams is the first book in Nina Lane's newest series "Sugar Rush." Full of all the male tenderness and female tenacity that only Nina has the recipe to deliver.

Five delicious stars!

The Hot One by Lauren Blakely - Cover Reveal

From the NYT Bestselling author of THE SEXY ONE, comes a sexy new standalone romance…

THE HOT ONE!

Releasing March 14^th, THE HOT ONE will bring readers more of the swoony romance and passion they’ve come to love from Lauren Blakely, as well as plenty of witty humor and clever banter. Check out this fantastic cover created by Helen Williams with photography by Wander Aguiar.

At first glance, stripping naked at my ex-girlfriend’s place of work might not seem like the brightest way to win her back.

But trust me on this count – she always liked me best without any clothes on. And sometimes you’ve got to play to your strengths when you’re fighting an uphill battle. I’m prepared to fight for her…and to fight hard. I might have let her slip through my fingers the last time, but no way will that happen twice.

He's the one who got away…

The nerve of Tyler Nichols to reappear like that, stripping at my job, showing off his rock hard body that drove me wild far too many nights. That man with his knowing grin and mischievous eyes is nothing but a cocky, arrogant jerk to saunter back into my life. Except, what if he's not a jerk . . ? He's the one I've tried like hell to forget but just can't. Maybe I’m cursed to remember him. My money is on him being the same guy he always was, but what's the harm in giving him a week to prove he’s a new man? I won't fall for him again.

But how do you resist the hot one…

ABOUT SWEET ESCAPE

When dessert goes wrong…

Hannah Lockhart travels the world and blogs about love. At least she used to before she promised to look after her sister’s bakery. Now, stuck in small town California for the next six months, Hannah is desperate to find romantic content for her blog or risk losing both readers and income.

Then a whipped cream disaster sends her into the arms of sexy, charming Evan Stone, heir to the Sugar Rush Candy Company.

Since childhood, Evan has been trying to overcome family concerns about his defective heart. Known as “The Heartbreaker,” he’s found an outlet with women. And when bad news strikes him, he seeks a diversion by offering to show Hannah the romance of the Bay Area.

Hannah jumps at the chance…as long as they keep things platonic. But soon Evan’s hot combination of charm, perfect kisses, and a serious sweet tooth melts her defenses.

As Hannah and Evan surrender to their delicious attraction, they are forced to confront the reality of her wanderlust and his heart condition. When love and hearts collide, can Hannah and Evan find their sweet ending?

ABOUT SWEET DREAMS

He may own a candy company, but this wealthy bachelor is no Willy Wonka.

Sugar Rush Candy Company CEO Luke Stone is a devoted businessman who doesn't do relationships. He does short-term affairs with clearly defined rules. But when a sexy bohemian angel propositions him in a bar, Luke is tempted to want more.

Polly Lockhart is horrified when she wakes the morning after her twenty-third birthday to realize she made a fool of herself with a sinfully delicious man. She tells herself she doesn't have time for romance anyway, as she's fighting to keep her mother's beloved bakery afloat and finish her culinary studies. That all changes when her class tours the famed Sugar Rush headquarters, and Polly collides with her dream man again. As she succumbs to their hot attraction, Polly soon realizes her bakery isn't the only thing that needs saving. Luke, driven and unyielding, will burn out unless someone convinces him to taste the sweetness of life. But can Polly remember this sugar rush is only temporary?
