About FORBIDDEN

 He's her first. He's her everything. He's her . . . stepbrother.

Kat has always been a good girl. She studies hard and never stays out too late. But when sitting in a pub on her birthday, she realizes she's a nineteen-year-old virgin who's never really lived. And she wants tonight to be the night that changes.

Then she sees him walk in. He's tall, dark, handsome, and straight out of her deepest fantasies. His voice makes her knees feel weak, and when he smiles, she imagines him doing wicked things to her in bed. From the look in his eyes, she knows he's imagining it too. So when he asks if he can walk her home, she hears herself whisper yes . . .

“I find you fascinating,” Tristan said. Their faces were so close, his lips a mere breath from hers, and it made her head spin a little with a strange, excited dizziness. His gaze dropped to her lips as his voice softened to a low murmur. “I made a promise tonight, and I won’t break it, even it if bloody well kills me.”

Kat shivered and when she spoke her voice was husky. “But after tonight?”

With a curve of his lips, Tristan leaned in half an inch closer. “After tonight…I could fuck you here, in this bed and leave you so sated you’d wouldn’t want to get up for days. The things I could do to you to make you purr, make you moan and beg… After being with me, no other man would satisfy you.” The tips of their noses brushed as he leaned a tiny bit closer. Every muscle in her body tensed in heady anticipation, and her heart thudded against her ribs so hard it hurt.

Those images his words created, his body on top of hers, his weight trapping her while he owned her in every way…why did it sound so wonderful and frightening all at the same time?

Kat’s lips parted, but no words came out at first.  He seemed like a man who before now got everything he ever wanted. She didn’t want to be another thing he got simply because he wanted it. She was a woman worth fighting for, and Kat wanted him to earn it. Her father used to say “a good man will climb to the highest branch for the ripest apple, rather than pluck the low hanging fruit.” She deserved a man who was willing to work for her.

“But not tonight,” she replied softly, almost teasing. Her heart pounded at a wild pace and her hands shook as she clenched them together.

As though it were the most natural thing in the world, he slid an arm around her waist, pulling her into his body. Her hands came up on instinct, settling on his chest, but she didn’t push him away.

 “Not tonight,” he agreed. “But that one kiss at the Pickerel? It was only the beginning.” His arm around her waist tightened.

His words, so determined and confidant, made her shiver. There was no denying his confidence was appealing, but this was her sex life they were talking about. She had never been the type of girl to just give in to a guy, so why was saying yes so tempting?

Excerpt

“Thank you for coming with me. I don’t know if I would have been able to do what you did.” Matthew smirked, trying to lighten the mood. “At least, not with the same results.”

Cali blushed and Matthew almost lost it. He wanted to touch her, to crush her body against his and kiss her within an inch of her life.

Instead, he backed toward the elevators. “I’ll see you tomorrow.”

She grinned and began walking to her car.

He hesitated, then shook his head and continued toward the elevator.

As he waited for the elevator to reach him, he heard an engine rev. A small smile pulled at his lips as he thought of Cali heading home.

The elevator dinged right as a squeal of tires caught his attention. He whirled around in time to see a dark blue sedan he didn’t recognize speed up the exit ramp.

His heart pounded in his chest as he took off at a full-out run.

Cali.

Author Bio

Sherri spent most of her childhood detesting English class. It was one of her least favorite subjects because she never seemed to fit into the standard mold. She wasn't good at spelling, or following grammar rules, and outlines made her head spin. For that reason, Sherri never imagined becoming an author.

At the age of thirty, all of that changed. After getting frustrated with the direction a television show was taking two of its characters, Sherri decided to try her hand at writing an alternate ending, and give the characters their happily ever after. By the time the story finished, it was one of the top ten read stories on the site, and her readers were encouraging her to write more.

Since then Sherri has published several novels, many of which have hit the top 100 in their category on Amazon. Writing has become a creative outlet that allows her to explore a wide range of emotions, while having fun taking her characters through all the twists and turns she can create.

Welcome to Serpent's Kiss (Serpent's Kiss 0.5)

Download for FREE.

After losing her husband unexpectedly, Katrina Mayer decided to open Serpent’s Kiss. She wanted it to be a place where she and her fellow kinksters could play and socialize.

Five years after the doors opened, the club is everything she’d hoped it would be. On Friday and Saturday nights, Serpent’s Kiss is filled with men and women who share a similar desire to explore the pleasures BDSM has to offer. The club has continued to grow, and over the years, many of its members have become friends.

The one thing Katrina didn’t expect when she’d decided to open a club was the human drama that came with it. Learning to balance her life as the club mistress has taken some getting used to, but she wouldn’t change a thing. 

Beth Davenport has no interest in getting involved with another man for the foreseeable future. To say her last relationship ended in disaster would be a colossal understatement. The only reason she agrees to put in an appearance at Serpent’s Kiss, a private kink club in downtown St. Louis, is because her best friend, Nicole, won’t quit nagging her. When she walks in the door that night, the last thing she expects to do is meet a man who will have her reconsidering her ban on men.

As a captain with the St. Louis Fire Department, Drew Parker is used to being in charge. His crew relies on him to make sure they know what they’re doing and return home to their families after every shift. It isn’t, however, what he wants in a relationship. Drew decides to join Serpent’s Kiss to see if what appeals to him in fantasy is something he wants to explore in the real world. He’s also hoping that he’ll be lucky enough to meet a woman with whom he can explore his desires. The night Beth walks into the club, he is intrigued. Drew has to get to know her better.

After what happened to her, Beth is reluctant to get involved with Drew. It doesn’t matter that he is sweet and charming. She’s been burned before and Beth doesn’t think she can survive having her heart crushed again. Drew, however, won’t take no for an answer. He wants a relationship and is determined to chip away at her defenses until she relents. Will she give him a chance, or did her ex leave her with scars too deep to heal?

Falling for a con man is the most dangerous game of all…

Especially when it comes to a certain stunningly sexy hacker who tempts him with every look of disdain.

Polly Banks will never, ever trust a con man. On the trail of a ruthless crook who destroyed the only family she’s ever known, Polly is unnerved by the shadow who follows her every move. The one who makes her pulse pound and breath short with lust. Austin. He’s infuriating, enigmatic, and pure sex appeal, and she’s determined to resist him.

But an untrustworthy man of disguise can become anyone he wants…including a man that Polly must trust if she’s to escape their dangerous game alive.

My Boiling Point Review . . .

I love this sexy group of misfits!

"Touch the bear claw and I'll set you on fire.  It belongs to my man."  She smiled, looking more like a Girl Scout than a convicted arsonist. "Welcome to the family."

Here we get to find out what makes Austin tick since he's the most hated part of this little group.  Everyone in this group has pasts to atone, but for Austin his pasts are holding him back and coming back to haunt him.   Polly has her own reasons for the decisions she makes but she wants to right the wrongs of her past, but the last things she wants is to admit that she feels the same that Austin feels for her.

I LOVE AUSTIN. The thing I love most about Austin is his raw honesty which makes him so much sexier then he already was.   I absolutely adore Austin and his sexy charming ways.

"Never want anything else.  Nothing else.  Just this.  Between your legs where it feels right.  I'll give you everything, just don't take yourself away."


"I'm here because you're here.  Because I didn't want to know what Chicago felt like without you inside of it."  Blimey, that felt good.


"But mostly I just didn't want distance separating us.  You're supposed to be close.  I like having you close." 

Polly tries to hold off Austin but eventually gives in when Austin dangles the best carrot of her inner desires.  This is where Tessa Bailey always shines.  Her ability to write erotica and sex is outstanding.  She's has learned how to balance between sex and substance that we are ensnared with the story from the beginning to the end while at the same time we get to see Austin and Polly fall for each other in their steamy journey together.

What a better couple then two criminals.  As they understand past choices and drives for the reason they do what they do.  But for these two it's so much more as they balance each other out sexually, emotionally and personally.

"Do we need to break into another house and traumatize a second feline?"   

As Austin and Polly's past come to a head they admit to their wants and desires so they can give in to themselves and learn to trust each other. But will the trust be enough in the end?

"You've attracted the kind of animal who won't rest until he's mated for life."

These two are great together, and together they can move on from their pasts and move forward to their version of a HEA which I'm sure will be non-conventional but perfect for them.

"We are not the sum of our past deeds.  There are gray areas and straight-up mistakes, but we can't let them define us.  Okay?  Whatever you did won't change what I know.  And I know you."

This is a series that you need to read from the beginning to truly experience this little group and now I can NOT wait for Henrik's story.

4 Boiling over thumbs up!

Title: Full Domain

Series: Nice Guys Novel #3

Author: Kindle Alexander

Genre: M/M Romance

Published: January 12, 2016 

Honor, integrity, and loyalty are how Deputy US Marshal Kreed Sinacola lives his life. A former SEAL now employed by the Special Operations Group of the US Marshal Service, Kreed spent most of his life working covert operations and avoiding relationships. Never one to mix business with pleasure, his boundaries blur and his convictions are put to the test when he finally comes face-to-face with the hot computer geek he’s been partnered with. Hell-bent on closing the ongoing case for his longtime friend, he pushes past his own limits and uncovers more than he expects.

Aaron Stuart strives for one thing: justice. Young and full of idealism, his highly sought after computer skills land him a position with the National Security Agency. Aaron’s biggest hazard at his job is cramped fingers, but all that changes when he is drawn into the middle of a dangerous federal investigation. Aaron gets more than he bargained for when the FBI partners him with a handsome and tempting deputy US marshal. His attraction to the inked up, dark-haired man provides another kind of threat altogether. Aaron tries desperately to place a firewall around his heart and fight his developing feelings, knowing one misstep on his part could ultimately destroy him.

The solution isn’t as easy as solving the case, which is treacherous enough as it is. But the growing sexual attraction between them threatens to derail more than just Kreed’s personal convictions as he quickly learns temptation and matters of the heart rarely fit easily into the rules he’s lived by. Will Kreed be able to convince Aaron to open his heart and face the fact that sometimes the answers aren’t always hidden in code?

“You’re so fucking sexy with those fuck-me-I’m-so-smart glasses on and that intense look on your face.” Aaron glanced up and narrowed his eyes as he shoved the glasses off to the top of his head and stretched out his back. There was just something about the big, gorgeous deputy marshal growling those words at him that made his dick want to come out and play. A tired yawn from hours of sitting behind his laptop slipped free as he rubbed his eyes. “And those noises you make are a complete turn-on.” “I have a feeling it doesn’t take much to turn you on. A slight gust of wind would probably have you at full mast,” Aaron teased, lowering the lid to his laptop.

 

 

Best Selling Author Kindle Alexander is an innovative writer, and a genre-crosser who writes classic fantasy, romance, suspense, and erotica in both the male/male and male/female genres. It's always a surprise to see what's coming next!

I live in the suburbs of Dallas where it's true, the only thing bigger than an over active imagination, may be women's hair!

Usually, I try for funny. Humor is a major part of my life - I love to laugh, and it seems to be the thing I do in most situations - regardless of the situation, but jokes are a tricky deal... I don't want to offend anyone and jokes tend to offend. So instead I'm going to tell you about Kindle.

I tragically lost my sixteen year old daughter to a drunk driver. She had just been at home, it was early in the night and I heard the accident happen. I'll never forget that moment. The sirens were immediate and something inside me just knew. I left my house, drove straight to the accident on nothing more than instinct. I got to be there when my little girl died - weirdly, I consider that a true gift from above. She didn't have to be alone.

That time in my life was terrible. It's everything you think it would be times about a billion. I love that kid. I loved being her mother and I loved watching her grow into this incredibly beautiful person, both inside and out. She was such a gift to me. To have it all ripped away so suddenly broke me.

Her name was Kindle. Honest to goodness - it was her name and she died a few weeks before Amazon released their brand new Kindle ereader. She had no idea it was coming out and she would have finally gotten her name on something! Try finding a ruler with the name Kindle on it.. It never happened.

Through the course of that crippling event I was lucky enough to begin to write with a dear friend in the fan fiction world of Facebook. She got me through those dark days with her unwavering support and friendship. There wasn't a time she wasn't there for me. Sometimes together and sometimes by myself, we built a world where Kindle lives and stands for peace, love and harmony. It's its own kind of support group. I know without question I wouldn't be here today without her.

Part 3 of 3

My Full Domain Review . . .

Gah! I love this series and these seriously sexy men.  Finally we get Kreed and Aaron's story.  As we've been following along with this mystery and these men we have gotten to know Kreed and Aaron through the others.

Kreed has always flirted with Aaron but once he meets Aaron in person his no sleeping with his co-workers policy may be at risk.

"I don't get my honey where I get my money. And that's too bad 'cause you're fucking adorable."

Aaron has many secrets, but is good at what he does.  However, the last thing he wants is to be working this case in person, but he owes it to Mitch.  Once walking off the plane he gets to meet Kreed in the flesh and he too wants to re-think his choices in life.

Kreed's very intuitive and he knows Aaron's hiding things, but it doesn't stop him from slowly getting attached to him.  The closer he gets to Aaron the more he wants to protect him from this new threat as they are trying to figure out who's behind all the near deaths and accidents of Cody, Jace and Colt. 

At first Kreed and Aaron try to get each other out of their systems but can't seem to let each other go.  Their chemistry is through the roof and they are perfect for one another, but Kreed just has to convince Aaron of it. 

"I love you, but I'm not who you think I am.  I've got too many skeletons to make this work.  I'm so sorry."


"I already know that.  I could tell you're hiding something.  You just don't understand, Aaron.  Your secrets don't matter to me.  I know what's in here." 

 The more they feel for each other the harder it is for Kreed to do his job.  A job he has loved but now Aaron is becoming his first priority and he will do anything to keep Aaron in his life.

I absolutely have loved this whole series.  It's bittersweet that it's now over.  I'm happy to have the mystery solved but I'm sorry to see the end of this series.  Thankfully we may see them in other series like Tristan and Dylan made an appearance here.   I'm so happy all these great men got to find their slice of happiness.  I also loved the fact that Kreed was rough and sexy on the outside but a huge sweetheart on the inside, and it took the sweet sexy computer nerd to bring that out in him.  I have loved the banter between all the men throughout this series and this one did not disappoint in this area.  I can't wait for more from the fabulous Kindle Alexander.
