Bad For You by J. Daniels Review Tour #bookreview #teasers #dirtydeeds #romance

  

    "If you're a fan of Kristen Ashley, then you will love this book." -Aestas Book Blog on Four Letter Word  



  


He didn't want to be bad. He just didn't have a choice...
Shayla Perkins isn't the kind of girl who makes the same mistake twice, especially when it comes to
 Sean "Stitch" Molina. So when he gives her the world's biggest rejection, that's it--she's done. Until
 the sexy, silent, unavailable Sean makes Shay a very personal offer. Of course, it still doesn't mean
 he's interested in her. Or does it?

Sean has done things in life. Bad things. And he's paid the price. All he wants now is to make up for
 his past by doing good in the present. And no one deserves more good than Shay. Beautiful on the
 inside and out, Shay is the kind of woman who should be cared for and protected--especially from a
 man like Sean. He's tried to keep his feelings for her in check, but a single, reckless impulse pulls
 them closer than ever before.

Soon the two are sharing their biggest dreams and satisfying their deepest desires. But what will
 happen if the only way to truly give each other what they want most...is to let each other go?

"The perfect mix of funny, hot and heartwarming. I enjoyed it immensely!" --Mia

My Bad For You Review . . .


I'm always a sucker for the quiet, broken men.   Especially when they do start to share and talk because when they do, it always comes with a punch right to the feels.  And Sean 'Stitch' Molina fits this to a tee.

I've been looking forward to these two since we met them in the first two books.   We all knew that Shayla had a huge crush on Sean but we couldn't put our finger on why he was pushing her away.  Now in Bad For You we get to find out the why and let me tell you the why to Sean's pushing is completely heartbreaking.  But if there as anyone who was going to break through to him it was going to be Shayla.

"Love is sacrifice, Sean," Val continued.  "It's putting your own happiness second.  When you really care about someone, you do what is best for that person before you even think about yourself.  You will suffer for love.  If it's true, you'll do anything for it."


" . . .  How the fuck can I have my family when the woman I love more than my own fuckin' life isn't with me?  You wanna explain that?"

I absolutely adored Sean and Shayla together.   Shayla was a super strong character who had tons of love to give and was selfless about her love.  She only wanted the best for Sean even if it meant destroying herself in the process.    I adore everyone in this series and it was great to see everyone again but this was written in a way that if you haven't read the others you could read this as a standalone.  However, I'm always a fan of reading series as a whole as you get more background about the characters, and if you don't read the others you will miss some nuances but not enough to ruin the story.

Sean's story is so heartbreaking and you want nothing but the best for him.   And I couldn't be happier it was Shayla who helped him heal and helped him to see all the potential of what he can be and all the greatness he already is.

Falling Under by Lisa Renee Jones Blog Tour #bookreview #excerpt #walkersecurity #romance


FALLING UNDER by Lisa Renee Jones
JANUARY 23, 2018



ABOUT
A new sexy standalone from Lisa Renee Jones…

Ex-special forces, Jacob King, is a man who keeps to himself, having learned the hard way that letting people close to you, trusting them, might just get you killed. A lesson he learned when members of his Special Ops team turned dirty, while others, men he considered friends, died. He made them pay. He made them hurt. He put them in jail. And so he doesn't trust anyone anymore. He keeps his women hot and fast, his friends few to none, and his clients through the elite Walker Security at a professional distance, but safe.

It works for him. Until it doesn't.



His newest job should be simple and cut and dry. Jewel Carpenter, the daughter of the CEO of Carpenter Enterprises, is receiving death threats. He's to protect her and find out who is issuing the treats.

Simple. Cut and Dry.

Until it's not.

Until the chemistry between he and Jewel is all about love, hate, and sex. But even as he fights the attraction to Jewel and discovers there is more to her than meets the eye, the real threat comes not from the threats she's receiving, but the connection she has to him. Because his past has come full circle, and those men he's made pay for their sins now want him to pay. And what better way than the woman in his bed?

EXCERPT
“Just to be clear,” he says, his voice low and rough. “I’m breaking every rule I own with you. I don’t fuck women I’m protecting.”

“You could hand me over to someone else,” I suggest, “and it won’t matter.”

“Not a chance in hell,” he says, his hand sliding under my hair to cup my neck. “We’ll break the rules together.”

“I’m not sure I like how you do ‘together’.”

“I’ll make sure you do,” he promises, his lips slanting over mine, and this time he kisses me like he owns me, like he wants to control me, and like I really am his, like I belong to him, and in this very moment, I can honestly say

I am. I want him, and I can’t get enough of him.

And how can it ever be enough when he’s this damn impossibly hot, and he’s such a damn good kisser. The way he makes me want his mouth on every part of me and the way he makes me want my mouth on every part of him. And so, there it is. I’m his, but I’m going to make damn sure he’s mine, too. I kiss him back as passionately as he’s kissing me. I meet him stroke for stroke, arching into him, telling him I am here and present, and I’m not even close to afraid of him or of this. He doesn’t get to control me. He isn’t making me do this. I control me, and I choose him and this.

Arching into him, his shoulder holster and mine are in the way, and I want them gone. I want him naked. Just to be certain that he knows that’s where I want this to go, my hand presses between us and I stroke the hard line of his shaft. He groans low in his throat, a sexy rough sound that tells me he gets the point. This isn’t his show. It’s ours. It’s us together, or there is no show, with or without our clothes on.

His reaction is to tear his mouth from mine, his lips lingering there though, as if he wants to kiss me again, and just when I would kiss him again, he leans away just enough to shrug out of his jacket. I take one step backward, and do the same with my blazer. I reach down and pull off my boots and he does the same. Next, we disconnect our shoulder holsters, and the truth is, it’s the first time I’ve ever been with a man who is probably more armed than me. That feels significant when it perhaps is not. He’s not a cop. He’s not that kind of career complication. He’s a Green-fucking-Beret, and one hell of a hot one, for that matter.

He sets his weapon on the couch and snags my hand, walking me toward him and taking my holster and weapon as he does. “Just making sure you don’t end up shooting me before this is over,” he says, setting it with his before shackling my hip.

“I told you I’ll wait until after the orgasms.”

“Careful,” he says, a hint of a smile on his lips again. “I might hold that orgasm and you captive.”

“You can try,” I say, but my head isn’t in the game in this moment, and somehow my hand is on his face, right by the almost smile, that seems to have complicated what should be sex, an escape, a way to pull back the emotions that umbrella stirred in me. That smile reminds me that Mr. Robot is his wall, his way to cope with death, with whatever makes him protect Jesse Marks.

He captures my hand. “What are you thinking?”

“That you have on too many clothes,” I say, before I let this go someplace emotional, somewhere that two people like us never want to go.

My hands press under his shirt, but he doesn’t immediately give me what I want. He studies me for several beats and then kisses me hard and fast. Too fast, but I get over it when he pulls his shirt off. He cups my face and kisses me, his hand sliding up my shirt, his touch fire that has me helping him pull my shirt over my head. Letting him drag me to him where he now sits on the couch. I straddle him, my bra somehow gone by the time I’m there. But my hands press to his shoulders, and I hold him at bay. “I will still arrest you if I need to,” I promise. “This doesn’t change that.”

“You aren’t going to arrest me any more than you hate me.” He glances down at my chest, his gaze a hot caress as it rakes over my breasts, my nipples, before his eyes meet mine. “Because you know I’m protecting you.”

I ignore the ache between my thighs. Or I try. “From what? The slayer or the Jesse Marks damage patrol?”

His hand slides between my shoulder blades and he molds my chest to his. “Do you really want to talk about Jesse Marks right now? Because if you ask me questions, I’m going to ask you questions when I’d much rather be inside you, giving you as many reasons as I can not to arrest me. But you pick. Conversation or fucking.”

“Both,” I say, because it’s the truth. I want answers and I want the conversation my emotions are having in my head to shut up. “Fucking first.” I push away from him and stand up, unbuttoning my pants, sliding them down my hips, and he watches me with that unreadable, robot expression that is admittedly sexy as hell. I press my lips to his and that’s all it takes.

We are crazy, hot, kissing, his hands on my breasts, my nipples, my neck. I can’t touch him enough. I can’t feel him enough, can’t get close enough, and that’s new to me. I don’t need anyone the way I feel I need this man. I don’t want to need anyone this much, but it’s too late. At least, right here, right now, I do. He rolls us to our sides, facing one another, the wide cushion of the couch more than holding us and the next kiss isn’t fast and frenzied. It’s long, drugging, and somewhere in the midst of his tongue stroking my tongue, I end up on my back with the heavy weight of him on top of me...

My Falling Under Review . . .


Since I haven't read the Walker Security series in full nor the Tall, Dark and Deadly series at times I felt a bit lost, but I was still able to read it as a standalone.  I have to admit after reading Pulled Under and the rushed conclusion of the suspense in that book,  I was a bit gun shy to read this and find out if the same thing happens.  Officially I can thankfully say it does not.    The tension and suspense in Falling Under was a good pace including the conclusion.

 Where I felt the missing parts were was I didn't know to much about Jacob before this and I wish I had more of his character before diving in,  but it didn't happen since I couldn't get caught up on my reading before hand, however I still enjoyed the book.

Since its part of a series and a spin off series with a recurring theme it was a bit predictable at times but the suspense was new.   I like strong female characters and Jewel did fit the bill there.  At times she was maybe a bit too stubborn but I did like her and Jacob together.

3 . 5 Thumbs up!

Cover Reveal!! Memphis by Ginger Scott

Check out the amazing cover of Memphis by Ginger Scott! We are so excited about this release!


Memphis by Ginger Scott
A Contemporary New Adult Romance
Release day: February 23
Goodreads

Blurb:

My mom always said it was just something about the way he moved.
The same swagger Archie Valentine wore in the ring when he took his opponents down followed him like a halo everywhere he went. But make no mistake about it—he was no angel. He was like a drug. My mother was his addict.

I never understood it…how love could make you blind and convince you to drink the poison. Not until I met Memphis Delaney.

At first, it was the familiar form. He’s a fighter, built like a god from the past, the kind of man the universe doesn’t make anymore. His eyes hide a story, and every time I’m in his presence I want to keep reading him until I get to the end. And then…there’s the way he moves. His boxing is violent but beautiful, and his body is a seductive weapon. When he’s in the ring, he wears the stare of a man committed to the battle until his very last breath.

He could end me; turn me into her. Too much of him will leave me as a shadow, and I’ve lost so much of myself already.

But I have discipline. It came the hard way. Lessons learned, scars left behind, and trust stripped away from life.

I will breathe his air, but I won’t fall for a man like him. The only boxer who’s ever going to break my heart is the one who gave me my name.
