BAD BUSINESS by Nicole Edwards is LIVE!!!






SYNOPSIS:

This player’s got a lot to learn if he wants to score . . . with the boss’s daughter.

“Nicole Edwards sure does know how to write the bad boys of sports!”—L. P. Dover

Stone: Football is more than a game to me. It’s my calling. Becoming the Dallas Wranglers’ starting quarterback before I retire is a dream come true, but with a few wins under my belt, suddenly everyone wants a piece of me. And even though being in the spotlight has its perks—beautiful women, star treatment, more beautiful women—what really gets me sweating is the watchful gaze of my sexy-as-hell PR coach, Savannah Andrews. The catch? Her father is kind of my boss. . . .

Savannah: In my family, football is big business. When your dad owns an NFL franchise, you learn a thing or two about schmoozing, and from what I can tell, it’s not a skill in Jason Stone’s playbook. Sure, the veteran quarterback is literally larger than life. With broad shoulders, muscles on muscles, and a mouth made for kissing, he may be one of the hottest men in the league—and I should know. I’ve turned down enough players to start my own all-star team. But those guys just wanted to get close to my father. Meanwhile, Stone is getting temptingly close . . . to me.



REVIEW by Michele:

Jason Stone has won three super bowls and is on the road to his fourth after being traded to the Dallas Wranglers his hometown team, what better way to win and retire. Savannah is the owner's daughter who also happens to be the executive Vice President and head of Public relations for the team. One night they see each other in the club Savannah knows who Stone is but he doesn’t know who she is. They have one crazy night together and don’t exchange names. She is all he can think of but he doesn’t think he will ever see her again until he finds himself at a party at her father's house. 

Nicole Edwards doesn’t let us down. This story is hot and steamy and draws you in from the beginning. Stone is a total alpha male, hot, sexy and sweet. Savannah is an independent woman who is used to being in control but finds she likes when someone else takes control in the bedroom. The chemistry was off the charts! This is another must read from Nicole Edwards!  I was given an advanced copy for my honest review.

FAST BURN Synopsis:

For the woman who’s his perfect match, he’s willing to break the rules…

For Sahara, the agency always comes first, and Brand needs more. Yet when she’s kidnapped by men searching for her missing brother, he doesn’t hesitate.

Somewhere along the way, flirting with Brand for the sake of business turned very personal. Despite his refusal to join Body Armor, it’s Brand who steps up when she needs him most.

UNDER PRESSURE HARD JUSTICE CLOSE CONTACT


REVIEW by Heather Mc:


From the first time Sahara Silver met Brand Berry she has felt some serious chemistry.  Brand has felt the same, she feels the best way to get to him is hiring him to help her.  He refuses to take on her job because he wants more from her.  All of this is forgotten the minute Sahara is kidnapped, he immediately steps up to the plate to save her.

I have read a few of Ms Fosters books and truly I feel like I need to go back and read all of them.  She has serious talent in the telling of a romantic/suspense novel.  Her men are exactly what I want, strong, loyal, loving, protective alpha males and the women are smart, strong, independent spitfires.


I already purchased the previous books in this series and highly recommend.   I was given an advanced copy for my honest review.  4.5 Stars.


       
   



EXCERPT:

Brand shook his head. “Truth is, Sahara, I can’t see myself working for you.”
Wow. Now that hurt. Peeved, she moved away from him to sit in the chair behind her desk. A power position.
She met his gaze without flinching. “I see.” No, she didn’t.
“You’re too pushy.” He smiled as he said it, taking away some of the sting of that nasty observation. “And too used to getting your way. You love being in charge, but then, so do I.”
Never in her life had she been so offended. “Those insults are your way of telling me you don’t like me?”
She rose from the chair again without realizing it, hands flat on the surface of the desk as she leaned toward him in challenge. “I got a very different impression.”
“I like you,” he confirmed, but then added, “because you’re not my boss.” He surprised her by mimicking her position until their noses almost touched over the middle of her desk.
She didn’t know where to look. His eyes drew her, so dark they were almost black, and always filled with wickedness.
Then there was his firm mouth set in that small, teas­ing smile that did crazy things to her. High cheekbones, a strong jaw, a masculine nose…
And oh, what that straight-armed pose did for his biceps.
She inhaled…and breathed in the scent of warm, musky male.
It seemed imperative to put some space between them so she slowly straightened.
Brand’s smile widened and he, too, straightened. “Coward.”
“Oh no,” she corrected. “But I have priorities that take precedence over…other things.”
He went back to crossing his arms. “Over me, you mean.”
“Nonsense. You are a top priority right now. I want you on the team.”
“The agency isn’t a team, Sahara. It’s you dictating and others following orders.”
She said through her teeth, “I’m the coach. I direct, encourage and—” Bossed. “—cheer. Rah-rah and all that.”
He laughed.
Not with her, no. He laughed at her.
“Where did you work before you took over here?”
Was he genuinely interested or just trying to move past her obvious irritation? Not that she’d stay irate long. It was a waste of time. She was more about positive for­ward strides.
Or getting even.
For now she’d work on moving forward by answering his question. “Before Scott disappeared, he often had me involved with the business. I learned everything here from the ground up.”
“Describe ‘ground.’”

Release Blitz: The Consequence of Rejection by Rachel Van Dyken





You know the universe is trying to tell you something when you get struck by lightning, but only after getting hit on by the elderly, almost getting run over by a semi, and running into the one who got away.
Why do they say it like that anyway?
Like I accidentally lost her when she was the one that got in the car with my best friend and left me.
The day after I proposed.
We were eighteen.
I wanted forever.
She didn't.
It's been ten years.
I tried to move on, tried to get married, had that same wedding crashed by my now best friend who says the only way for me to stop pissing off the universe, is to gain closure with the one woman I can't forget.
So I do it.
I embark on a journey down memory lane that not only lands me in prison but on the receiving end of a fist fight in front of the entire town, this naturally happens after drunken pool sex, climbing the same girl's window, and getting threatened at gunpoint by her father.
To say the universe is trying to tell me something anything, is a giant understatement.
I just hope I survive the message.
And then, I hope I survive her—again.

Review by Kelly:



Belly laughs and tear-streaked cheeks

Jason, Jason, Jason. (I'm literally shaking my head) Is it really possible for one person to tick off the universe enough that each day is filled with physical pain? Sure...just look at Jason.

His days are filled with countless injuries, usually inflected upon him by his sister or something one of his "best" friends has gotten him into. He's the "7th" wheel now with all of his friends coupled up and he wishes it could have been different. In high school, he was happy, deliriously in love, he had it all. At least he thought he did. He proposed right after graduation and she said yes. He had their whole lives mapped out. Everything was perfect and then it wasn't. She left the very next day. Life hasn't been the same. He's tried to move on, he even tried to get married to the wicked witch of the west (we all need to thank Max for saving the day on that one) but nothing has worked, he's never truly gotten over her. Now she's back. Ten years later, she's come home. He doesn't know whether he wants to grab her and kiss her or hurl every curse he can think of at her. Max once again has a brilliant idea. Maybe he can get rid of all this bad mojo and get over her at the same time. A trip down memory lane, walking where they once walked before could work. Or he could lose whatever pieces he still has left to her all over again. 

Rachel really understands how to write a romantic comedy. This book, like the previous ones before it, has left me with sore abs and tears streaks down my cheeks from laughing so hard. I only wish I had friends like these in real life to keep the laughter constantly going. She once again captured our hearts and our giggle boxes with this story. Truly, thank you Rachel, for making us all smile, giggle and roll around laughing while enjoying the sweetness of romance.

Release Blitz & Tour - STONE by Max Monroe


Blurb:

First, hate. Then, want. But in the end? Heartbreak.

My celebrity life was supposed to be easy, and this movie was the biggest break of my career. But from the moment Officer Levi Fox gave me a speeding ticket on my way into town, he’s been nothing but a thorn in my side.

Dominant. Cocky. Callous.

Midnight blue eyes, a bad attitude, and muscles for days, he’s exactly the kind of man I should avoid.

But as the Cold, Montana Police Department’s official movie liaison, he’s taken up a permanent place in my life that I can’t shake.

We fight. A lot.

Then, we kiss—and my carefully crafted hate toward him no longer feels so much like hate.

I’m falling

falling

falling.

But how often do alpha-jerks cushion the landing?

Note: Levi and Ivy’s story will continue in Book Two—Cold.






STONE Book Links: CURRENTLY AT A SPECIAL RELEASE PRICE OF $0.99 and FREE in KINDLE UNLIMTED!





REVIEW by Heather:

Levi and Ivy's story takes you on quite the ride. As of NOW, I am NOT a fan of Levi. He will have to work miracles to win my respect.... and my heart.  Ivy....  I absolutely adore her. When Levi hurts her, my hearts hurts for her.

Levi has a boulder on his shoulder... not a chip. So when his path crosses Ivy, he immediately dislikes her. He assumes she is like every other actress, stuck off and self absorbed. But when he begins to see she is different, he begins to develop feelings. He'sno longer numb, which is a feeling he prefers. A feeling he is acustomed to.  Levi thinks he can play a game of let's make Ivy jealous, but his plan back fires on him. He not only hurts ivy, he shatters her. So when she finally makes a decision to walk away, to be done with Levy, he realizes that he messed up. There is that saying, you never know what you have, until you don't have it no more.

Levi made a HUGE mistake. But will Ivy forgive him? Will ivy give him a second chance?  Will Levi ever open up to Ivy?

I cannot wait for the next installment in this series.  I was given an advanced copy for my honest review.

REVIEW by Michele:

Jason has never gotten over the girl who walked away and ever since the universe has been against him. Maddy is the girl who walked away because she was scared and she is back home. Max convinced Jason to ask Maddy for two days to be friends and to get closure. Maddy agrees what could go wrong when Max is involved!


This book was everything you come to expect from the consequences series. Over the top crazy, funny and a great love story all in one. The things that happen to Jason, it’s hard to imagine how he is still alive. Max of course has his crazy schemes and this time Colt and Reid were right there with him. I always turn to this series when I need a good laugh I am glad this book will now be included. If you haven’t read this series yet I highly suggest it. Great ending to the series!

Excerpt

Full breasts spilled over into a small black bikini that left nothing to the imagination, it barely covered nipple for that matter, and the bottoms? Well she had to keep adjusting them lets just say high school bathing suits ten years later look small. 
In the best way possible. 
Head held high she walked right by me to Max, grabbed a shot, took it, then sucked the lime he held out in front of her. 
I growled. 
Max winked at me. “Something wrong, man?”
I reached for the non existent gun at my side, which just made him grin harder as he kept handing out alcohol to parents of toddlers. 
Because thats the type of party it was. 
Almost everyone started talking about their kids, retirement, stock portfolios, vacation time, and babies. 
It was almost too depressing for words. 
I had all those things but what I’d always wanted. A family. Babies. 
Maddy. 
She shared a sideway’s glance with me. 
I reached for her, but she pulled away and ran full speed towards the pool and did a giant canon ball. 
People cheered. 
While I watched as wet cold water ran down her curvy body, my gaze was so tranfixed on her erect nipples I’m surprised nobody pulled me aside about my current situation of arousal. 
Cold water. Fast. 
I chased after her, jumped in. 
And felt the warm buzz of alcohol fill my veins just as I popped up and saw Max follow, balls first, in my face. 
I ducked just in time so I didn’t get a fist full of balls. 
The guy only laughed once we both popped up. 
I swam towards Maddy, and tugged her against me. “Stop running.”
“I’m not.” Her breath came out raspy. “I’m just…reliving old times, isn’t that what you wanted? So we could have closure?”
Why did it feel like she was turning the tables on me. 
“Yeah,” I said slowly, “But—“
Her kiss was swift. 
Hard. 
Fast, and oh so very punishing as I gaped into her mouth and pinned her against he side of the pool. 
Music filled the air out of nowhere from somewhere outside, it pounded into my ears the way I wanted to pound into her. 
I grinned against her mouth as she wrapped her legs around my waist. 
And then Reid cast a shadow over us and started pouring vodka over our heads. 
Maddy tilted her head back and opened her mouth while I leaned in and licked it off her chin. 
People cheered. 
“Guys!” Someone yelled. “Keep it down, someones going to call the cops!”
“Cops?” Max laughed loudly. “I am the law, bitches!” The music blared. “Plus, we already got our cop here.” He pointed while I took another shot. 
People cheered. 
And then Maddy squeezed her thighs. 
Yeah the cops were coming alright.
