Title: Intrepid Author: Keri Lake Genre: Contemporary Romance


About Intrepid:

In the corner house of an empty street, there is a boy inside a box. In that boy, there lives a secret, one so dark, it’s sealed with locks. 

 Nearly ten years have passed since the night I was captured. Tricked and betrayed, I suffered the hours of brutal torment with death’s cold whisper across my skin. And when the nameless faces that haunted my nightmares took everything and everyone I loved, I feared I’d never be free of the darkness. 

 But that's the thing about fear. Over time, it breeds anger, and when anger fills the box, vengeance bleeds out. 

 It's been almost a decade since I escaped their hell, staying in the shadows, hiding my demons, and God help them now that I've tasted retribution and crave more of it. 

 Blood is the price for pain, and I vow to take everything and everyone they love. I’m no longer a frightened boy, but the intrepid vigilante, a ruthless executioner, who will stop at nothing to punish the depraved few that stole my life and walked free. 

 The plan is perfect, except for her. The one woman I'm forbidden to have, whose soothing touch settles my fractured mind. My angel of mercy sent to silence the voices. Yet, not even she can save me from the black void wherein my skeletons lie buried beneath the truth. Because in order to feed my thirst for revenge, I have to destroy the very thing that gives me purpose. Tooth for a tooth, heart for a heart.

My Intrepid Review . . .

I would love to just be in Keri Lake's brain for a minute.   Her stories are fascinating.  They're dark yet still beautiful.  Intrepid is technically a spin off from the Vigilantes series.  You don't have to read the others first to know what is going on, but it always helps to set the backdrop of the series.

This time around the need for vengeance is from a man name Ty.   He wants to right some wrongs in the only way he knows how to create his justice.  It may not be the right way, but its the only way that can help save his haunted soul. 

He has a list of targets but along the way he meets a mysterious girl named Sera, whom changes everything. 

However, not everything is as it seems.  The story flips back and forth from past to present, which helps set up the reason for vigilante justice. 

Sera is tired of men telling her what to do, but she too is more than she seems from first appearance. 

Ty and Sera are drawn to each other.   Even though they try to fight it, however fate is a tricky bitch and has other things in mind when it comes to these two. 

The way Keri writes makes you sympathize with the anti-hero.  She makes you believe the only way for justice in these story is vigilance .  She makes you feel that there is no other way.  And for the two love interests it only makes sense when they fall into each other, even though in so many other circumstances it wouldn't make sense.  But for Keri she puts it together so brilliantly that you are rooting for these unconventional couples, and are hoping for triumph for when the wrongs get righted.

I can not wait for more from Keri Lake and this series.  Can't wait to read Dax's story. 

4 Unconventionally beautiful thumbs up!

Endorsed by Marni Mann #bookreview #excerpt #teaser #romance

SBPRBANNER-Endorsed-BT

Endorsed by Marni Mann Publication Date: April 5th, 2018 Genre: Contemporary Romance

Endorsed-Amazon.jpg

My client’s younger sister is off-f***ing-limits.
Getting my first big client signed to the NFL was the second best moment of my life. Escorting his sister back to her hotel was the first. Imagining what she would feel like, look like, taste like—none of it was as good as the real thing.
If her brother found out, it would destroy my career, so I ended things between us.
Eight years later, the girl who got away still owns me.
First, I’ll make her forgive me, and then I’m going to make her mine.
He’s owned my body for far too long.
It’s been years since he touched me, and my skin still remembers every brush, stroke, and thrust. I want to forget how good it felt. Almost as much as I want to do it again.
We can’t finish what we started until I make my confession.
I have a secret—one that wasn’t mine to keep.
Before he can love me, he’ll have to find some way to forgive me.

Excerpt:
When my hand wasn’t on the gearshift, it was on her thigh. Her skin was hot. Tight. But it didn’t give me the heat I was after, so I went to search for it, dragging my fingers higher on her leg. My thumb then dipped below the hem of her dress, tracing a small pattern over her flesh.
“Samantha, I need you to do something for me.”
She took a breath that ended with the softest moan. “Okay.”
“I need you to shift when I tell you to.”
“Why?”
“Because I need one hand on the steering wheel while the other is inside your cunt.”
“Jack…”
“Shift into third.”
She quickly reached across my arm, grabbing the gearstick and moving it like I’d asked her to.
My fingers climbed several inches higher, feeling the space widen as she spread her legs apart. “Now, go to second.” As I rose to the outside of her pussy, I expected to feel her panties.
There was nothing.
Just a bare pussy and a clit that needed me to rub it.
“Jesus,” I hissed. “Neutral. Shift right now.”
We were coming to a stop at the red light. Before the car completely slowed, my pointer finger traced around her entrance to wet the tip, and I slid right in.
“Oh my God,” she groaned. “Your hands.”
She’d missed them.
They’d missed her.
And she was about to get a hell of a lot more.

My Endorsed Review . . .

Endorsed is technically a standalone, but its also part of a world that belongs to world of Signed by Marni Mann.  Signed is about James & Brett.  James is up and coming celebrity and Brett is her agent.  In Endorsed, its in the same world, but this time around it evolves around Jack who is one of Brett's best friends and also business partner.  Where Brett's expertise is with movie stars, Jack's is sports.   Even though Endorsed belongs to the same world, Signed doesn't have to be read first.  However, it does help give some background to the friendship and the agency.

As Jack was first starting out, he signed up a new football superstar ' Shawn Cole'.   During the draft where Shawn gets signed he hooks up with Shawn's sister Samantha.   Immediately they hit it off, but no way will he mix business in pleasure.   This means he has his fun with Samantha but cuts her loose. 

Now many years later, their worlds collide again.   Now Samantha is independent and working for James as the interior designer and Jack is still Shawn's agent.   All these years Jack hasn't seen Samantha but that doesn't mean he didn't stop thinking about her. 

The moment he sees her, he wants what he let go all the years ago.   Samantha is torn but wants the same thing, but this time Samantha has a huge secret.

The secret was obvious to us but not to Jack right away.   Jack responded well to the truth.  At times I wanted to strangle Samantha with the way she handled things, but it didn't stop me from liking her and the story. 

Like Signed, Endorsed is more of a light hearted romance, but this time around it was also a second chance romance.   I liked it but I didn't love it.  It wasn't from the writing, as that was good, but there was just something about the story that didn't have a visceral impact.  For me, without this impact it makes the story a bit unforgettable sadly.     Even though I didn't love it, I'm still hooked to this series and I'll always love Marni Mann.  Which means I can't wait for the next book in this world plus anything Marni Mann really.

3 . 5 Sweet but a bit forgettable thumbs up!

Torn by Alexis Noelle Release Blitz #deathstalkerMC #excerpt


Title: Torn
Series: Deathstalkers MC
Author: Alexis Noelle
Genre: MC Romance
Release Date: March 21, 2018


Loyalty
That's what it's all about here.
I'd do anything for one of my brothers,
Even go with his old lady to a parent-teacher conference.
But when I see the sweet little number who's the teacher,
Suddenly, school's right up my alley.
She's innocent, naive, and sexy as Hell. 
Damn, I just want in her pants,
And to maybe teach her a thing or two.
And I'm not backing down,
I'll get to her.
But if she ever finds out the truth about our connection,
It'll sever the ties and ruin it all.
I'm just going to keep my mouth shut--
And all over her.

 


 

The loud crash jolts me out of bed and a few seconds later my mother comes running in the room. “Sweetheart you need to hide, there are people in the house.” Her voice is quiet but I can hear the fear in it. My stomach drops as my body freezes. “Now.” Her voice is a raised whisper. She points to my bedroom closet and I run trying to grab for her hand but she shoo’s me away. I open the door thanking God for once that my closet is such a disaster. I lay on the floor covering myself with any clothes I can. Mom quickly rushes over finishing the job for me. “No matter what, don’t make a sound.” She quietly shuts the door and I can hear my father’s voice downstairs. I can’t make out what he’s saying but he’s yelling at someone. There is a loud bang and my heart stops. That sounded like a gunshot but it couldn’t be, this can’t be happening right now. I lift on if the shirts just a little bit so I can see through the opening in between my door and the floor. I see mom working her way under my bed but I know I shove so much stuff under there, that there is probably no room. Heavy footsteps sound as my whole body goes rigid. The boots stop at the edge of my bed and I hear a stomach churning laugh before his hand appears and pulls my mother’s leg out from under the bed. I can hear her pleading with him to take whatever they want and go. I pray that he listens, and that whatever sound I heard my dad is still okay. He doesn’t say a word though. After a few more seconds another loud bang sounds and my mom falls to the floor. I clamp my hand over my mouth silently sobbing and praying that they don’t find me. My body is stiff from fear, and I’m scared to move because I don’t want him to find me. “Take anything that’s not nailed the fuck down but do it quick.” I hear him shout to whoever else must be in the house. He stands in my room for a minute before heading over to my dresser. “There ain’t much in here.” I hear the sound of my music box being picked up. My dad gave it to me on my last birthday. It crashes to the ground and I flinch from the noise. “All fucking junk.” The sound of the boots fades. I can hear crashing and things being thrown around as the men tear through my family home. My mom’s eyes are closed and I pray to god that she is just passed out. She can’t be gone. It feels like I sit in that closet for days listening to things banging and breaking. When the closet door opens, I scream.

He's my most delicious secret.
