EXCERPT #1

“Behave yourself while I’m gone, Mr. Corbin,” she said, playfully smacking him square in the chest even though she was completely serious. Please don’t drink, she almost added. But she’d seen the dark cloud that had threatened to roll over his features when she asked if he’d be okay.
“I’ll try. Long as you promise to come back to me safe and sound, pretty girl,” he said, slapping her on the ass as she turned to make her way up the steps of the bus.
“Always.” She threw him one last wink before climbing the steps. A lady that looked old enough to be her grandmother sat in the driver’s seat staring straight ahead. Kylie greeted her and got nothing but a slight head tilt in response. She missed Carl, Trace’s friendly driver, already. Every step she took was like walking deeper into quicksand. Her legs seemed to be completely against the idea of walking away from Trace Corbin.
Her eyes began to tear up and she couldn’t even see the cool décor inside the bus through the pools of moisture. Screw this. She dumped her suitcase in the aisle and sprinted back to the door of the bus.
“Hey,” she called out to his retreating figure. Dang, he looked good from the back. Hate to see you go but I love to watch you leave.
“Hey yourself,” he answered as he turned to face her.
She didn’t think. Didn’t worry that she might be getting in too deep, moving too fast, or throwing more at him than he could handle. She just did what she was best at. Felt first. Acted on impulse. Once he was close enough, she launched herself into his arms and slammed her mouth down on his.
He caught her, just like she knew he would. His hands gripped her tightly as she wrapped her legs around his waist. His mouth said he was just as hungry for her as she was for him. She deepened the kiss as far as possible, lashing her tongue against his until it ached. When the world began to spin, either because she was falling hopelessly in love or because her brain was seriously deprived of oxygen, she finally pulled back.
Panting, she looked him in the eyes. “I’m going to miss you more than I can even stand. I needed a better goodbye than that.”
Trace didn’t disappoint. He backed her against the side of the bus, still holding her to him in mid-air. Her mind flashed to their escapade in the barn earlier and she felt the warmth spreading through her core. He ravished her mouth before she could even smile at the memory. When neither of them could take any more, he set her down gently and pulled her in close against his chest. “I’m going to miss you, too, Kylie Lou. So damn much.”

The line of duty series is full of passion, drama, smut, and love.

Officer Off Limits (Line of Duty #3)

by
His need to possess her is non-negotiable.

Story Brooks’ fiancé just called off their wedding two weeks before the happy day. As if that isn't bad enough, her semi-estranged father, an infamous NYPD hostage negotiator, has suffered a heart attack. Not wanting to examine her lack of emotion over the broken engagement, she hops on a plane to reconnect with her father before it’s too late.

Playboy hostage negotiator Daniel Chase has never, not once, been refused by a woman, so when a debate over hospital snack foods with a delectable kindergarten teacher ends in flat-out rejection, he makes it his mission to seduce her. His only obstacle? She’s the daughter of his mentor who implicitly forbade Daniel from pursuing her.

Despite her father’s warnings and Daniel’s troubled past, Daniel and Story can’t resist their intense attraction to one another. But when the reason for her fiancé’s abrupt wedding cancellation comes to light, can Story and Daniel's already forbidden relationship survive?

My Review...

Daniel Chase is a man who has had it rough and has never been claimed. The only way he feels anything is with sex.


Story Brooks is tired of people always making decisions for her.


Jack Brooks, Story's dad and Daniel's mentor has a heart attack and brings Daniel and Story together.

Story is leery of Daniel's man whore ways and his quick turn around for redemption of wanting more.
"Belong to me, Story. Even if it's just for a little while."
There relationship has loads of chemistry and connection from the moment the meet and they turn it to make heat between the sheets.


Is passion and chemistry enough?
"Were you going to tell me you've never been fucked so thoroughly in your life?"
For Daniel it isn't. He wants more and he will do what ever it takes to make Story see that.
"...When I'm inside you tonight, I need to know I earned it." 
A reality scare forces Daniel and Story to realize their feelings and to take the risk on something wonderful.

Genres: Contemporary, New Adult

Synopsis:
When twenty-one-year-old Leah Carter’s latest one night stand burglarizes her apartment, her roommate forces her to attend therapy for sex addicts. Leah insists she isn’t a sex addict; she just doesn’t do relationships. After all, sooner or later, everyone lets you down.

At first, the group sessions are little more than an education on how to be promiscuous. Until she meets the newest addict—blue eyes, killer body, and a smile that tempts relapse.

Psychology student Will McLean is posing as a fellow addict while researching a case study on unusual addictions. But the more he learns about Leah, the more certain he is that his desire to break through her walls and unearth her secrets has nothing to do with his assignment.

As the uncertainties spike alongside the sexual tension, the only thing Leah knows for sure is that falling in love would be disastrous. Too bad love might be one addiction she can’t kick.

My Review...

Here we have a NA book with a bit of a twist on how two can fall in love.

For Leah she is forced to join the local sex addict group after her she gets robbed from a one night stand.  Here she is her typical stand off bitchy self until one day everything changes.
Will is a doing some research on addictions and poses as a sex addict.  
Will has great intentions until he meets Leah. Instantly they are drawn to one another but both know it is wrong.

For Leah she may act like a bitch but in reality she has a soft heart and just wants to be loved but doesn't know how.

Two addicts normally shouldn't be together but add in deception and lies you are asking for a world of trouble.

Both of them have shitty up bringing which causes a common thread between them....loneliness.
Finally truths come out, sexual tension is tamed and little brothers steal your heart.

This was a sweet book about love when you least expect it but deserve it.

Arrested by Love tour - Review & Giveaway


Arrested by Love
A Loveswept Contemporary Erotic Romance
By: Virna De Paul

Blurb
In the steamy world of bestselling romance author Virna DePaul, there are bad boys and good girls on both sides of the law. And when they mix, it’s always an explosive combination. Now the three novellas of her contemporary Red-Hot Cops series are available together in this eBook anthology:

COPPING TO IT

Though Claire Fullerton, a respected journalist, isn’t afraid to walk on the wild side, she’s terrified that unleashing her inner vixen will expose her to getting hurt. But when Claire is captured by a notorious gang of bikers, she recognizes a friendly face from her darkest fantasies: undercover cop Ty Williamson, who has managed to infiltrate the gang to bring them down from the inside. Now Ty’s determined to bind Claire to him and prove that he wants all of her: the good with the bad. In fact, the badder she is, the better they’ll be—together.

COP APPEAL

People used to call her Sure-Thing-Sarah, but the only thing Sarah Larson’s sure about these days is the torch she’s carried for undercover cop Luke Anderson. Four years ago, Sarah made the biggest mistake of her life: leaving Luke to marry another cop. Now, a year after her divorce, Luke’s back in her life—ready to convince Sarah that he’s the one when it comes to love. But Sarah has a big fear—that her dangerously possessive ex-husband is out to make sure that her second chance at happiness is destroyed forever.

COPPING ATTITUDE

As a former centerfold, Jenna Mills is a pro at deflecting male attention, and with good reason. A painful past has made her mistrustful of all men—and hell-bent on getting revenge on one in particular. But first she needs help overcoming her fear of physical intimacy. And honorable cop Noah James might just be the perfect place to start. Noah’s used to making a woman feel safe, in bed and out. But when Jenna makes him an indecent proposal, Noah’s willing to give her everything she’s asking for . . . and more.

Arrested by Love is erotic romance intended for mature audiences.

Synopsis
Emma is happy. She's got a promising career in front of her, great friends, and a pretty amazing family. But her social life has been a little lacking lately. That's when fate stepped in, and crashed her into a tall, dark and handsome man. Sure, he has his secrets...don't we all, and, yeah, maybe his secrets are a little more unusual than most - like he's a partial vampire who can walk around during the day, but also enjoys a little plasma nightcap now and again - but to Emma, he's single, successful, and an extraordinary gentleman. That makes up for a lot. Of course, his condition is a bit more serious than he first lets on, and living a life with him will require some sacrifices that most just aren't willing to make. Will she? Is love enough to compensate for a life that will never be anywhere near the realm of normalcy? But then again...what's normal anyway?

My Review...
 
Ever since I stumbled across Thoughtless and Collision Course on feedbooks I have been a huge fan of S.C. Stephens
 
In Conversion here we have sweet Emma who happens to literally bump into Teren who seems almost too good to be true by being the most sweetest, gorgeous perfect boyfriend.  But we all have secrets Teren's just happened to be bigger than others.

For Teren he just may be a bit of a vampire.

 Not only is he part vampire he also has a bit of family baggage and a devastating reality.



For Emma she seems to take everything in with grace and understanding because love is enough.  Or is it....

 "It's not like I'm going to nibble on you, since Teren's claimed you." She rolled her eyes.  "Like I would do that to my great- grandson."
 
Teren's family might be rough around the edges literally but they have good intentions when it comes to Teren.
 
For Teren his love and adoration is sweet and beautiful.  He may not be a rock star with a huge heart but he is just as poetic and sweet as Kellan.
"I need your face to be the last thing my human eyes see."
Emma and Teren's relationships has obvious ups and downs with his reality but there bond is strong and there relationship is quirky, sweet, passionate and loving.
"Sometimes, Teren...being human has nothing to do with genetics."
 
"Teren, that was beautiful...and a touch creepy."
This book was a sweet paranormal romance with fun, drama, passion, intrigue, family, loyalty, surprise and of course lots of love. I can't wait to read the next two in the series.

Some quotes may have changed in the newer version as this was an older version.

ABOUT FOUR YEARS LATER (blurb subject to change):
Guilt. That is all I ever feel when I think about my mom. Now she's back in my life, always wanting something. Having her around makes it so easy for me to fall into those bad habits that get me into trouble. Skipping class, smoking weed, fooling around with girls that mean nothing to me...I'm messing up. The last thing I need is my sister on my case.

So I keep my mom's return a secret. But promising I'll get my grades back up on my own isn't enough. Fable makes me see a tutor. And Chelsea is the smartest girl I've ever met. She's definitely not my type but there's something about her that I'm drawn to. She's sweet, she's shy and she seems completely immune to my usual moves.

Chelsea has her own secrets and she's not talking. Like I have any room to judge. How can I get her to open up to me? And will I ever be able to convince her that what we have could be something real?
