BOOK SUMMARY:

It’s all fun and games

I had a simple plan for spring break.

Sun, sand, and a hot guy. Sex on the beach, with no strings attached.

A chance to get rid of this pesky virginity once and for all.

And when I met Tyler McKenna, I thought I had it made.

Until someone gets hurt

But then girls started turning up at Key West landmarks. Girls who looked like me, but with one crucial difference: They’d all been drugged and relieved of their virginity.

The virginity I still have. The virginity Ty refuses to take.

And now I’ve begun to wonder whether there isn’t more to him than meets the eye.

Suddenly, sex on the beach doesn’t sound so good anymore...

New Adult Contemporary Romance

One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas

BOOK SUMMARY:

I’m just a girl…

I’m a famous country star who’s spent her life cultivating a good girl persona to avoid bad press, but I’ve reached my limit. I’m going away for spring break with my two best friends from college, and we’ve vowed to spend the vacation seeking out fun in the sun—along with some hot, no-strings-attached sex. The only thing I needed was the perfect guy, and then I met Austin Murphy. He might be totally wrong for me, but the tattooed bad boy is hard to resist. When I’m in his arms, everything just feels right.

And I’m just a guy…

I’m just a bartender who lives in Key West, stuck in an endless cycle of boredom. But then Mackenzie Forbes, America’s Sweetheart herself, comes up to me and looks at me with those bright green eyes…and everything changes. She acts like she’s just a normal girl and I’m just a normal guy, but that couldn’t be further from the truth. My past isn’t pretty, you know. I did what I had to do to survive, and she’d run if she learned the truth about my darkness. But with her, I’m finally realizing what it’s like to be alive. To laugh, live, and be happy.

All good things must come to an end...

Beyond Me by Jennifer Probst

March 4, 2014

New Adult Contemporary Romance

One of the “Sex on the Beach” Novellas

BOOK SUMMARY:

CAN FUN IN THE SUN TURN INTO LASTING LOVE?

Spring break in Key West with my besties was supposed to be casual fun. But I never expected to meet James Hunt. Sex and frolic? Yes! A relationship? No. But his hot blue eyes and confident manner drew me in. And when he let me see the man behind the mask, I fell hard, foolishly believing there could be a future for us. Of course I never considered our relationship might be based on lies...or that his betrayal could rock my foundation and make me question everything I believed in...

OR WILL A LIFE BUILT ON LIES RUIN EVERYTHING?

The moment I saw Quinn I knew I had to have her. She hooked me with her cool eyes and don’t touch me attitude. I had it all, money, social status, and looks. I could get any girl I wanted...until her. When my friends challenged me with a bet to get her into bed by the end of the week, I couldn’t pass it up. But sex wasn’t supposed to turn into love. She wasn’t supposed to change me, push me, and make me want more for myself. She wasn’t supposed to wreck me in all ways. And now, if I can’t turn my lies into truth, I just might lose her forever...

TOXIC RELEASE LAUNCH

It's release day for Rachel Van Dyken's incredible TOXIC! TOXIC is a New Adult contemporary romance and is the second book in the Ruin Series. Read below for more info, enter the awesome giveaway, then go find out why Gabe will move up your book boyfriend list!

Synopsis:

Everyone has a secret... Gabe Hyde is on borrowed time. He's been hiding his identity for over four years-hidden from the world that used to adore him--obsess over him--driven to the edge of insanity by one poor choice. But that one choice, altered the course of his life forever. Pretending isn't all it's cracked up to be, especially when pretending means hiding your real self from the people that care about you the most. But if anyone ever discovered the truth it wouldn't just be his life at risk--but hers. Saylor doesn't hate men. Just Gabe. Only Gabe. He's a reckless, happy-go-lucky, silver spoon fed pain in her ass. Everything about him makes her more and more confused. Unfortunately they both donate time at the same Group Home. If she wasn't afraid of flunking, she'd be long gone. She hates that she's attracted to him almost as much as he hates that he's attracted to her--and she can tell, especially since their first encounter ended up making her knees so weak she couldn't form coherent sentences for weeks afterwards. But the closer she gets to him, the more confused she becomes. He isn't who he says he is, and he's hiding something big. What happen when two worlds collide? Two worlds that never should have met in the first place? Some secrets are too big to be hidden forever--the only question? Will his destroy everyone he loves? Or finally bring about the redemption he's been craving for the past four years? Everyone has a secret...What's yours?

EXCERPT:

With slight pressure, Gabe moved my hands to the piano, slowly, effortlessly placing them on each key. He was playing through me, using my body as an instrument to convey the story of his life. Each time he pressed down on one of my fingertips or guided me to another area of the piano, I felt the sadness of the song clench deeper. The notes became floating tendrils of pain, each one of them slowly invading my body and taking hold until it hurt to breathe. He moved faster and faster, my hands couldn’t keep up. I pulled back as he continued the song, in such a rush it was like he was yelling but doing it with music. Unable to convey it in any other way. With a final burst of movement, he lifted his hands off the piano and smashed them against the keys, causing a chaos of notes to burst forth. Gabe’s breathing was uneven, ragged as he leaned heavily against me, his chin resting on my head, and he whispered brokenly, “I can’t.” “You were doing so good.” “It’s like getting into a car with suicidal tendencies. You keep going faster and faster, needing the adrenaline to keep you alive until suddenly you turn the wheel and everything goes black. The notes, they go higher and higher, and right when I feel like I can change the outcome — I panic. Some things…” He sighed and pulled away. “Some things are better left in chaos.” “Are you sure about that? Are you sure about perfection?” I folded my hands in my lap, but didn’t turn around. “Sure.” He moved from behind me and sat on the bench. “If life was perfect, how in the hell would we ever learn to depend on someone other than ourselves? If anything, that’s what life’s taught me. The need to be perfect is stemmed in the very belief that it’s actually something we can achieve. Self-actualization — doesn’t exist.” I licked my lips and looked down at the keys. “Does that mean we don’t try then?” “No.” Gabe tickled a few of the ivory keys in front of him, the music note tattoos on his fingertips looking darker against the white of the piano. “It just means when you reach the end of your rope, you shouldn’t regret a damn thing, but applaud yourself for trying to do the impossible.” I felt like he was using double meanings. The philosophical Gabe was a bit terrifying because he made me feel more insecure than the jackass Gabe. But the guy sitting next to me right now? I was beginning to understand, he wasn’t just one person. He was every person, everything, whatever he needed to be, he was. Like a chameleon. And suddenly the ending to the story made sense. Ten different notes all clamoring at once. Chaos. Gabe was Chaos. “So.” He sniffed and cleared his throat. “Now that I’ve totally ruined the moment by talking in my serious voice and scaring the shit out of you — why don’t we work on one of your performance pieces?” “Okay.” I placed my hands on the piano again, careful to angle my wrists at the perfect degree and keep my eyes on the music ahead. Sometimes I wondered if my posture was better than my playing. “What the hell are you doing?” he asked in calm voice. I turned and gave him a firm nod . “I’m getting ready.” “To go to battle?” “What?” I relaxed my hands a bit. “No.” I straightened. “This is the right posture, it’s—” “If you say perfect, I’m going to kill myself.” “Someone should have majored in drama.” He burst out laughing. “Oh, honey, you have no idea.” “So?” I lifted my wrists again and looked ahead. “Fine.” He smirked. “Play just like that.” “Okay.” I started one of my harder pieces, Piano Sonata 14. It felt exactly the same. The movement wasn’t as fast as some of the others, but the timing for it had to be perfect. “Close your eyes,” Gabe instructed. “But—” He swatted my wrists. “No arguing with your piano master.” “Fine.” “Say ‘yes, master’.” I smiled tightly, my eyes focusing on the music in front of me. I started slowly playing. “Not in this lifetime.” “Bet I could make you say it.” His voice had an arrogant lift to it, which made me all the more irritated. Master? Um, no. “Eyes.” He growled again. With a resigned sigh, I closed my eyes. “Better?” “Immensely,” he said smoothly. Darkness enveloped my world. All I had were the notes at my fingertips. All I had was the music — that and Gabe. He wasn’t saying anything. Which killed me. It also made me want to open my eyes, but I knew he’d probably just tell me to close them again, so I kept playing. And then, with a teasing touch, his fingers grazed my chin, slowly tilting it down toward the piano while his other hand went to my upper back then slowly moved down until it was in the middle, with a gentle push, he urged my body closer to the keys. Eyes closed, posture completely off, I leaned over the piano. Everything felt wrong as I continued playing. “Slower,” he said softly. With a sigh, I started playing slower. His hands moved to my hips. And stayed there. Other than jumping a foot, I was still able to concentrate. “The music,” he whispered, “It’s not just your story — it’s your lover.” “Okay,” I squeaked. Heat washed over me as the word lover bounced around in my brain. I knew it, but I’d never experienced it. How was I supposed to use something I didn’t know how to use? And how embarrassing was it that I was stuck in that tiny room having never been… stuck in a tiny room with any guy? Lover. I’d take him. If I got a choice. It would be him. But people like Gabe, beautiful people who had music in their soul, who knew how to speak without words… they weren’t for girls like me. “Each stroke…” His hands pressed against my hips making me gasp. “You need to feel it not just on your fingertips — but everywhere.” Holy. Crap. “Feel it here,” he squeezed and then ran his hands lightly up my sides, then resting right underneath my breasts, he pressed again. “And here.” My breathing picked up speed, as did my music. “Slow down,” he commanded in that same irritating patient tone. “Where is this story taking me? Where are you taking your lover?” “Huh?” I breathed. “Use your hands to tell me the story — use your body to propel the story forward, what happens next… Tell the story, Saylor. Make me feel it without even touching you.” “But — that’s impossible.” “You can feel a kiss without touching someone’s lips.” “I’m confused.” “Concentrate.” Gabe’s voice was firm. “I want to kiss you.” “What?” He was lucky I didn’t actually collapse against the piano this time. “In the story.” He chuckled. “I want to kiss you in this story, so kiss me.” “You want me to get up and kiss you?” Mind you, I was still trying to play a difficult piece as he was asking me this, which basically meant I must have had talent, because my body was on fire. “Without our mouths meeting.” “Through the music.” I clarified in a doubtful voice. I could hear the smile in his tone as he answered. “Yes, through the music, show me what the kiss would feel like. I want to taste it.” “But how?” He laughed softly. “I’m touching them.” “What?” “My lips,” he countered. “They’re soft, open, wet…” I squirmed on the piano bench, squeezing my eyes shut. “What else?” “As I part my lips… I wonder what your tongue tastes like, what type of pressure you’d use as you pressed your velvety smooth mouth against mine. I imagine exploring your mouth not just because I want to — but because I can’t help it. I’m lost. And your kiss is my salvation… so, Saylor, will you save me?” My fingers glided effortlessly over the piano as I imagined his mouth — the way he smiled, the way he took his lower lip hostage when he was deep in thought. The dark look he got in his eyes when there was something he wanted. Our kiss would be epic. The music picked up speed as I leaned over the piano, pounding each note with the rhythm of my footsteps as I approached him. His hands would reach for my hips as he pulled me closer. My hands hovered over the keys making my hesitation known. And then I pressed softly against the ivory, leaning forward as if I was leaning into Gabe with my body pressed against his. My breasts brushed the keys. I moved closer to the piano and then slowed the music. His eyes would close. His lips would part. And we’d meet in the middle — because both of us wanted the same thing. Both of us wanted to taste, to explore, to feel. I slowed my left hand as my right hand moved quicker across the keys, to show the anticipation. And then, our mouths would touch. I pounded the keys with my left hand, making it the loudest part of the piece which wasn’t normally how it was done. Our tongues would tangle. I pounded the piano harder. His fingers would dig into my arms as he lifted me into the air. I pulled back from the piano, stopping the music, and then gently started the rhythmic cadence again. Our kiss was the perfect joining of music. He was the left hand, I was the right. Separate they sounded like silly scales. Together — they were beautiful. When I stopped the piece, I was sweating. “Open your eyes,” Gabe whispered. He was breathing so heavily it looked like he’d just run a marathon. With a smile he tucked my fallen hair behind my ear and tilted my chin toward him. “That…” He leaned in. “…is how you perform. Like every kiss is both your first and last — like you’re saying both hello and goodbye — like you’ve just been born… like
you’ve just died.”

Crashed by K. Bromberg RELEASE BLITZ

SYNOPSIS:

Rylee Thomas is used to being in control. But she’s about to meet the one man that just might make her enjoy losing it…

I am the exception to the rule.

In a world full of willing women, I’m a challenge to the roguish and achingly handsome Colton Donavan. A man used to getting exactly what he wants in all aspects of life. He’s the reckless bad boy constantly skating that razor thin edge toward out of control, on and off of the track.

Colton crashes into my life like a tornado: sapping my control, testing my vulnerabilities beyond their limits, and unintentionally penetrating the protective wall around my healing heart. Tearing apart the world I rebuilt so carefully with structure, predictability, and discipline.

I can’t give him what he wants and he can’t give me what I need. But after a glimpse beneath his refined exterior into the dark secrets of his damaged soul, can I bring myself to walk away?

Our sexual chemistry is undeniable. Our individual need for complete control is irrefutable. But when our worlds collide, is the chemistry enough to bring us together or will our untold secrets and battle of wills force us apart?

Synopsis:

Book #2 of the Driven Trilogy

What happens when the one person you never expected suddenly happens to be the one you’ll fight the hardest to keep?

Colton stole my heart. He wasn't supposed to, and I sure as hell didn't want him to, but he crashed into my life, ignited feelings within me that I thought had died forever, and fueled a passion that I never knew could exist.

Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet and into my life. Now I don't think I'll ever be the same. She's seen glimpses of the darkness within me, and yet she's still here. Still fighting for me. She is without a doubt the saint, and I am most definitely the sinner.

How is it the one thing neither of us wanted—neither of us anticipated that fateful night—has us fighting so hard to keep?

He steals my breath, stops my heart, and brings me back to life again all in a split second of time. But how can I love a man who won't let me in? Who continually pushes me away to prevent me from seeing the damaged secrets in his past? My heart has fallen, but patience and forgiveness can only go so far.

How can I desire a woman who unnerves me, defies me, and forces me to see that in the deep, black abyss of my soul there's someone worthy of her love? A place and person I swore I'd never be again. Her selfless heart and sexy body deserve so much more than I'll ever be capable of giving her. I know I can't be what she needs, so why can't I just let her go?

We are driven by need and fueled with desire, but is that enough for us to crash into love?

EXCERPT

“You can go now too.”

His gruff voice startles me. His unexpected words throw me. My temper simmers. I look over at him and can’t do anything other than shake my head in sputtering disbelief because his eyes are still closed. Everything over the past couple of days hits me like a kaleidoscope of memories. The distance and avoidance. This is about more than being irritated from being confined during his recovery. “Is there something you need to get off your chest?”

A lone seagull squawks overhead as I wait for the answer, trying to prepare for whatever he’s going to say to me. He’s gone from crying without explanation to telling me to leave—not a good sign at all.

“I don’t need your goddamn pity. Don’t you have a house full of little boys that need you to help fulfill that inherent trait of yours to hover and smother?”

He could’ve called me every horrible name in the book and it wouldn’t sting as much as those words he just slapped me with. I’m dumbfounded, mouth opening and closing as I stare at him, face angled to the sun, eyes still closed. “Excuse me?” It’s no match for what he’s just said, but it’s all I’ve got.

“You heard me.” He lifts his chin up almost in dismissal but still keeps his eyes closed. “You know where the door is, sweetheart.”

Love Me (Book #2 Trust Series) Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/20319881-love-me?from_search=true

REVIEW:

I read Trust Me and was fortunate enough to jump right into reading Love Me. At first, I was unsure of Damien with how intense he was and how he was set on protecting Alli. But after finishing Trust Me and getting Damien's back story, I was a true Damien Wales Fan !!! I was on the edge of my seat reading Trust Me and in Love Me there were so many twists and turns that sucked me into the story that I could not put the book down, because I was dying to know what happened next.

Damien's past is coming back to haunt both him and Alli. Damien's sister was murdered, but the killer was never found. In Trust Me, Damien was receiving newspaper articles around the yearly anniversary of his sister's death from an unknown source. After Damien's head of security takes a closer look, he uncovers a few clues that Damien didn't notice. The person who killed Damien's sister, is now after Alli. Damien wants to keep this information amongst themselves because he cannot trust anyone. Alli's safety is at stake, and Damien vows to do everything in his power to keep her safe.

Damien comes to realize the people he thought he could trust aren't who he thought. He also realizes in order to keep Alli safe, he will have to trust people he thought he couldn't. Alli still wants to try and live life as normally as possible. She does not want their life consumed by this, but Damien refuses to leave Alli without 24/7 security. What do you know when the one you love life's in danger? Can you protect them? What lengths will you go to protect them? Damien will take a life in order to protect Alli. He refuses to lose another person he loves to this psycho.

Will their love be able to withstand all of this drama? Can Alli and Damien have a normal life if the killer is never caught? How long can they keep living in fear? Can Alli trust Damien to protect her and keep her safe?

Alli is the air that Damien needs to breathe.

"Loving you is as easy as breathing. I will spend the rest of my life showing you how much I love, cherish and honor you.” ~ Damien

Damien becomes Alli's world. It's his greatest wish to make it beautiful again.

Prior to meeting Damien, I was lost and afraid to open myself up after losing both my parents in a horrible accident. He found me, rescued me, and gave meaning back to my life. ~ Allie

This is one of my favorite scenes in LOVE ME.

"Alli, before I take off your blindfold, I want to explain something. I came here to pronounce my love and intentions for you back in the summer, one week after we made love for the first time. I came back again when I knew how and where I would propose to you. Now that I have asked you to be my wife and you said yes, I think it’s important for us to come back here. I want us to bring all our important milestones here – when we get married, when you become pregnant, when our first child is born – all of them, Alli. I want to give you the world, and this is the only way I know how to come close to giving that to you. I will love you forever. Please love me forever.” ~ Damien

I want to tip my hat to Kristin Mayer. I absolutely LOVE this series !!! The intensity of Damien was off the charts, and I kept wanting more. The love that he has for Alli is undeniable. She was his, and he was hers. Alli and Damien need to trust their love for each other and not allow outside forces effect them. There were times that I was like, how much more can this couple go through. But the saying it true; what doesn't break you, only makes you stronger. I believe that all of what Alli and Damien had to endure, made their love for each other stronger and their bond inseparable. I am looking forward to losing myself in Promise Me. I am anxious to get Alli's best friend, Sam's story.

EXCERPT - Limo Sex:

“Tybee Island. That’s what I was handling with Bane. I rented us a house on the beach after we left the doctor’s office. You’ll be safe, Alli, I promise. Security is already in place.”

The last statement and somber tone in his voice has me instantly pulling back from the window.

“Damien, you are the only person I feel completely safe with while this maniac is out there. I don’t worry about not being safe when I’m with you.”

He sends a quick text, and then he grabs the nape of my neck and pulls me to him. Whatever was missing is back in full force and then some as my body warms, and he begins to penetrate all my senses. The familiar haze comes over me, and the world completely begins to slide away.

I’m not even waiting for foreplay as I wrench my shirt and bra off my body. Damien’s warm mouth immediately encapsulates my breast, and I arch at the pleasure that begins to radiate down to my core, igniting a burn down there.

I need my husband shirtless now. I go to the bottom of his thermal shirt and start to pull it up. He immediately disengages from my body as he takes over, and he has it over his head and discarded in about a quarter of the time it would have taken me. In one movement, he’s picked me up and laid me out on the limo floor.

He goes for my pants and pulls them from my body. “Fuck, Alli, you are beautiful.”

I try to do a seductive smile, but then his finger slides down my cleft and dips into my core. I arch off the limo floor. He undoes his pants enough to free himself, and he is on top of me immediately.

“I can’t wait. I need inside you now.”

I open my legs up in invitation and whimper at the friction as he enters me.

“Oh, Damien, please, yes. It’s been too long.”
