4 Stars! 

Team Jeremy? Team Hunter? There's no doubt, I'm Team Jeremy all the way, sure he's an ass and pushes Nicole away, but for some reason these two had chemistry! And I just want a HEA for them! Is that too much to ask :)?

Ride Hard is the second book in this great series. I'm a huge MC read fan. I love the angst, chaos, hotness and just plain bad ass of a good MC read. And Ride Hard delivered.

Nicole is best friend with Jeremy's sister, Roxy. Nicole and Jeremy grew up together and always had an attraction between each other. But he continues to push her away and she ends up getting close to his MC brother, Hunter. I love the push and pull attraction between the three of them!

And of course in the world of MC, rivals make an appearance and threaten members. These members include family, which Nicole is in danger! Nicole is strong-will and stubborn, so trying keep protection on her (per Jeremy--cause he's always looking at for her, even though he won't admit to it!) is tough. Plus secrets and lies come out towards the end and I cannot wait to find out. Yes, there's a bit of a cliffy at the end!

What I love about this book, is that we get POV's of many other characters in this book--Roxy, Chase and Hunter! I love the interaction within the Club. I'm patiently waiting for the 3rd book, Reckless Abandon to be released so I can find out what happens!


About The Author
Deciding to write books was something I had contemplated for a while. A co-worker of mine had gotten me started me on the 50 Shades Trilogy. I had quickly became absorbed! 

Reading contemporary romance had become a part of me. Little did I know that my daughter was a product of the “50 Shades Baby Boom”! I remember going to my doctor’s appointment to find out that we were off to labor and delivery- and I didn’t download any new books to my kindle! Talk about bummed out! However, I made up for that when I was home for my maternity leave. I believe we read 40+ books while I was home.

I am a full time new mom, and wife. Yes, I do work full time, I am currently doing multiple things, bouncing back after baby, weight watchers, exercising, training for a 5k, reading and writing. So far, I have really enjoyed writing as a hobby.

My work book club, “HE” had consumed us (and by us, I mean 2). We were critics of the stories and characters. I then thought to myself, “hmm, I bet I could write stories just like this, and have them turn out like I’d want them to.” Well, joking turned into thinking. Thinking turned into brainstorming. Brainstorming lead to opening a word document and letting my mind explore.

Growing up I had written short stories with friends, and as extra credit for school. This is probably where it all started… I had turned in one of my short stories without re-reading, or editing it completely. I had my paper returned to me saying the “content was inappropriate.” Apparently contemporary romance was frowned upon in English class! Oops! So maybe I was destined to become a writer.

I thought to myself that I want to live in this world and make a difference and have a part of me in history after I leave. This is me staying forever young.

Here I will post my journey, it’s a learning experience for me, so please bear with me.
If you have any questions, comments, concerns, recommendations- I welcome them all.
Enjoy :)

Blog Tour Stop: Lock & Key by Cat Porter

Love not only stings when you lose it, when it’s ripped away, but when it first sinks its teeth into you, it can cut just as raw and sting just as deep.
Unfortunately, I had forgotten that.

I was allegedly South Dakota's most famous Old Lady.
Fifteen years ago I had survived my Old Man’s murder
and swore to myself never again.
Never again surrender my heart.
Never again sacrifice to the Club.
But that all changed in one night.

I came home and crashed into him,
and my past and present blew up in my face.
Both of us lonely, running on empty, and unwilling to admit it.
Until now.
I feel things I'd forgotten about, want things I had cut out of my insides.

Who holds the keys to betrayal? To suspicion? To trust?
To brotherhood? To family?
To a bleeding heart?
Right now, I just might.
I suppose some of us have to get really dirty before we can become truly clean.




4 Stars

I'm obsessed MC books. I love a good bad ass MC story with grit, hotness and some chaos. And Cat Porter's Lock & Key has just that!

Lock & Key has a great heroine in this story, Grace. She's strong, well-respected and knows how to fight for what she believes in. She's lost her Old Man in a deal gone wrong fifteen years ago, so she ups and leaves.

She returns back to the MC life that she once knew and loved. Her sister, Ruby is dying (and it truly broke my heart!) and Grace comes back to be with her and her family. She then meets Miller (aka Lock). It was suppose to be a one-night stand, but she soon finds out he's tied to her past.

Miller can't keep Grace off his mind, until they unexpectedly meet and the attraction between the two is still strong. But being back is not all fun and games. The past comes back and causes trouble. Secrets come to surface and lives changes.

I love how we get both POV of the main characters, Lock and Grace. We get a glimpse of Grace's past and how she meet Dig, her Old Man. I loved their story and secretly didn't want it to end, even though I knew it what their fate was. But don't get me wrong, Grace also found that love again with Lock.

Lock & Key is a great MC book that keeps your toes and will steam up your Kindle with scenes between Grace and Lock. I hope we get more books with different characters from The Club and maybe a little of more of Lock and Grace!

I've always loved to read, and always needed to write. I like to explore what bonds a man and a woman together- the very small things and the sort of epic, the glory and the mess.

Release Day Blitz: Raven by Ashley Suzanne

Synopsis
If I would have known then what I know now.

If I would have known that having my heart broken at thirteen by my one and only friend, Garrett Rhodes, would never compare to the empty feeling at sixteen when I buried my mother.

If I would have known that changing schools in my senior year would throw all that back in my face.

If someone would have told me that when you drink a fifth a night and get in bar fights at twenty one, I’d end up in jail … again.

Maybe … just maybe … I wouldn’t be in the hell storm I’m living in these days. Letting my past dictate my future, allowing the best of the best male MMA fighters bully me day in and day out and knowing no matter what I do, Garrett will always be the only man that understands me. I didn’t have to live this way. One day changed the course of my life forever.

Through all this mess, the one thing that I’ve found that keeps me centered … martial arts. And I’m damn good. If only someone would give me a chance to prove my worth.

All I can do now is make the best of it and try to not let the fight consume me.

Excerpt

“Hey, cheater. You still got clothes on,” Garrett shouts from the bank.

“It’s not my fault that you’re wearing more than me. Skirt and flip flops come off in much less time than sneakers and jeans.” Dipping my head back to get the hair out of my face, Garrett finally gets his shoes off and starts working on his jeans.

Nothing could have prepared me for the sight I was about to see. Unbuttoning his pants and letting the zipper down, he lets the denim drop to his ankles. His muscular thighs are barely hidden by the tight boxer briefs he’s wearing underneath. Pulling his shirt over his head, Garrett’s abs glisten in the late afternoon sun. 

Licking my lips, I have to remind myself that when I last saw Garrett, he was a fifteen-year-old, lanky boy with no muscle tone whatsoever. This man before me … he’s got muscle on top of muscle and it’s downright the sexiest thing I’ve ever seen. I make sure that when Garrett finally makes his way into the water I keep my chest below the surface to hide my ever present hardened nipples. I could always lie and say the water’s cold, but he’d know I’m a damn liar.

Erotic Dark and Erotic Light Blog Tour by Nina Lane


http://literatiauthorservices.com/2014/05/13/erotic-dark-and-erotic-dark-by-nina-lane-book-tour/

4.5 stars for the series

I have to admit this series is a bit whacked. BUT...whacked in a good way. This series is so unique and intriguing, I was hooked from the first chapter.  I absolutely love Ms. Lane's books, and The Erotic Dark series is right up there!

I can't even explain  the story of Lydia. At first, I was appalled at went she went through, but then I was OK with it. It was all consensual and  I think it's the  how this author tells the story through each character and why these events happened.

It's a story about rejection, obsession and even love. There's really no way in explaining what happens in the Plantation and why, without ruining the plot. It's just a story that you just have to read for yourself if you are a fan of dark series.

The three men in this series were fantastic characters. You just loved to hate them and loved to love them.  They each were so different and brought a different light to the story and especially towards the female character, Lydia. 

I highly recommend to read this series, it's a fast read and will keep you on your toes. If you fans of Ms. Lane and her Professor Dean West--well these books aren't the same, but the writing style is fantastic and she can really tell a story and make you feel!

Title: The Erotic Dark
Author: Nina Lane
Genre: Erotic/BDSM
Published: March 5, 2012
Publisher: Snow Queen Publishing
SUBMISSION IS HER ONLY ESCAPE…

And punishment takes many forms. Seeking escape from her criminal past, a woman agrees to enslave herself to a trio of men who own an antiquated Louisiana plantation.

Known only as Lydia, she becomes controlled by three very different men – the malicious Preston, the inflexible Kruin, and the gentle Gabriel, all of whom introduce her to a world in which the lines between pleasure, pain and shame are irrevocably blurred. The plantation becomes both Lydia’s haven and her prison as she surrenders to the desires of her unholy trinity.

Lydia’s submission is fraught with tension and hunger, but what happens when the outside world enters her dark, anonymous sanctuary?
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18388585-the-erotic-light

EROTIC DARK

“You are under our protection," Preston said. "And we will not hurt you unless you have earned a punishment through disobedience. At the moment, you are clearly in need of a bit of discipline to remind you that you have chosen to be here.”

Lydia swallowed hard, her eyes flashing with a rising bubble of rage that threatened to burst forth. Preston’s hand slipped down underneath her bottom, splaying over her upper thighs and cupping the fleshy cushions in his palms. His groin brushed against her bare buttocks in a movement edged with lecherous enjoyment.

“Come, love. Kruin will do the honors.”

Nervously, Lydia’s gaze slipped to Kruin. His dark eyes watched her with a hint of dislike and coldness, his body as rigidly unyielding as the high-backed oak chair on which he sat. Lydia wrapped her arms around herself and shivered.

“Lydia.” Kruin’s deep voice echoed in the room. “Come here.”

Of the three of them, even Preston knew Kruin was the most difficult to disobey. Lydia walked across the room slowly, as if she knew what he would do to her yet unable to prevent it. At his instruction, she settled over his hard thighs, wincing when he lifted her skirt and arranged it with almost meticulous care over the expanse of her back.

A smile curved Preston’s lips. He settled into his chair. Lydia’s back arched forward in a graceful bow, her hipbones pressing against the top of Kruin’s thigh.
How Preston adored seeing her like this, reduced to being the recipient of a punishment as base as a spanking. Her pale buttocks quivered, as if trembling with dread for the discomfort that would surely result from Kruin’s large hand.

Preston shifted, feeling his penis start to expand at the thought of Lydia’s anxiety. Oh, how he wished he could be the one to administer her first punishment. He would love to feel her helpless weight over his muscular thighs, the growing furnace of her buttocks as he rained his palm over the smooth cheeks until they glowed and burned with the rosy evidence of his control.

All in good time, Preston reminded himself, still unable to prevent the stab of envy when Kruin landed the first loud slap on Lydia’s rounded backside.

Synopsis

SUBMISSION IS HER ONLY POWER...and her desperate means of control.

When Lydia is ordered to leave the haven of the Louisiana plantation known as La Nouvelle Vie, she thinks she is free from the twisted desires of her dark trinity. Yet as she struggles with the question of whether or not she even wants to be free, Lydia finds herself again submitting to the depraved demands of the obsessive Preston Severine.
AS IN THE EROTIC DARK, THIS BOOK CONTAINS GRAPHIC SCENES OF SPANKING, CANING, DUBIOUS CONSENT, ENFORCED SUBMISSION, AND EXPLICIT SEX.

Read only if these themes do not offend you!

https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18388585-the-erotic-light?from_search=true

EROTIC LIGHT


Lydia slid her hand down her rounded belly and between her legs. She closed her eyes. For a moment, she just cupped her hand over her sex and felt the heat emanating from her skin. Her clitoris pulsed.

She was struck by the sudden urge to feel Preston, Kruin, and Gabriel behind her, around her, their gazes hot with lust as they stared at her prone naked body, her sex spread open, pink and glistening, her bottom cleaved apart to expose the dusky aperture that only Preston had thus far breached.

She shuddered. Which one of them would take her? Would she hear the rasp of Kruin’s leather belt as he removed it? If so, would he choose to spank her with it or would he take out his big, thick cock and mount her from behind in one of his hard, fast fucks that made her whole body shake? Would she feel Gabriel’s hand stroking the length of her spine, the clench of Preston’s grip on her hair?

Once Kruin was finished with her, would Preston take his turn and press his erection into her mouth, whispering lewd things about her sensual nature and inability to control her own pleasure? And then would Gabriel be the one to slide his fingers between her legs and murmur his consent, allowing her to spend all over his hand while the three of them watched her ride the pleasure of orgasm?

Yes. Yes to all of it.

Q no longer looked devilish but royal.

My heart flew free, fluttering to the ceiling.

“Donne-moi tes mains.” Give me your hands. The order whispered through th e golden light, quintessentially him. His raspy, melodic voice had a power over me he wasn’t aware of. I instantly locked my wrists together, jutting them toward him.

Q didn’t say a word as he accepted my gift, wrappig soft, black fabric around me. The silk looked like morbid blood, as if I’d slashed my wrists in a fit of insanity.

The moment he’d restrained me, Q tugged the cord, making me stretch even further across the table, securing it somehow. Once tied, he strol led back toward me, setting my heart jumping and body dissolving under his intense stare .

My back was icy cold while my front was toasty warm . The two sensations, coupled with my lack of mobility, made my lungs suck in air as i f oxygen was about to go extinct. The closer Q came, the more lightheaded and woozy I was .

I flinched as he cupped my ass.

“What are you going to do?” I didn’t bother testing the binds. I knew Q—he had a way with ropes—there would be no chance of escape.

“Sometimes, the only way to make your dreams come t rue is to shatter them,” he said, circling me like a predator. “Sometimes, the only w ay to make your nightmares disappear is by facing them.”
