Dirty Little Secret by Kendall Ryan

Description

The start to a sexy new series from New York Times bestselling author, Kendall Ryan...

She’s much too innocent for me, but that doesn’t stop me from wanting the sweet, young librarian. I’m dominating and possessive, and my control streak runs a mile wide. 

The way she looks at me—like I’m one of the heroes in the books she loves, like I’m broken, and she wants to be the one to piece me back together—it only complicates things further. I’m nobody’s hero.

But there’s no denying my tragic past reads like one of her favorite literary classics. It’s raw. Visceral. Captivating. And together, we’re a perfect mess. 

How can I resist when the sexual sparks zapping between us set me on fire? The need to control, and claim her force my walls to come tumbling down, but when she learns about my dirty little secret, will my world come crashing down with it?

The story continues in Dirty Little Promise, releasing October 9th. 

Review

First, let me start off with how much I LOVE this cover. This cover is what sold me on the book. I requested this book from Net Galley without even reading the description.  I saw a lot of talk and posts about Dirty Little Secret on Facebook, so I was definitely curious about the book. I have to say when I finished it, I had a few questions to ponder. One, what was the dirty little secret? Did I miss something?  

This story revolves around a woman named Emma that sort of falls in love with a man that she never speaks to for over a year. She purposely goes to the local coffee shop the same time every day just to get a glimpse of the gorgeous man. Then when she finally takes matters into her own hands, she meets him. In her head, she imagined him ONE way, but in reality, he was nothing that she imagined. But.....  let me say this. I have never read a book where I love a different character more than the main hero in the story. In Dirty Little Secretly, I adored the brother, Cooper. I was rooting for Cooper, more than I was pulling for Grant.  Cooper was sweet, loving, considerate, where Grant was harsh, crass and at times rude and ignorant. Don't get me wrong, Grant showed a sweet side once in a while. Usually, after it was pointed out to him what a dick he was being, or if he wanted something that benefits him.  For me, Grant didn't do it. I was disappointed in his actions more than I was impressed with him.

I thought this story read easily, fast to be more specific. But by the end, I wanted more. I want to see where the story leads. I will definitely be reading Book 2 in the series to see where this goes. Fingers crossed, Grant earns my love, because right now, Cooper has my heart.

RELEASE BLITZ PACKET - Fraternize by Rachel Van Dyken

Title: Fraternize

Series: Players Game #1

Author: Rachel Van Dyken

Genre: Sports Romance
Release Date: September 12, 2017

Blurb

New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken kicks off a brand-new series in which romance is a game and love is a touchdown.

Emerson just made her dream come true as a professional cheerleader for her favorite pro football team. But even though the plus-size athlete is breaking down boundaries, she still has to contend with the massive rulebook. Carbs? Nope. Chocolate? Definitely not. Still, Emerson loves her curves, and she’ll rock the hell out of this job even if it kills her. Except for one mandate that is easier read than done…

No fraternizing with the players.

Problem one is Miller Quinton: Emerson’s first love, first sex, and the guy who still ignites her daydreams and R-rated fantasies. Thrown back together, Miller and Emerson feel the undeniable pull of passion again, even if the conflict that tore them apart seems insurmountable. Then there’s way-too-sexy Grant Sanchez. He has a serious reputation with the ladies, and when it comes to winning someone he wants, he doesn’t let anyone stand in his way.

Now Emerson is breaking every rule in the manual. But what she doesn’t know is that she’s part of a wicked little game—one that could steal both her dream and her heart.

Review

I stake claim to SANCHEZ. I adored him. He warmed my heart and had me in tears with laughter.  I wasn’t sure what to expect going in. I assumed cheating would be involved with the cover photo, boy was I wrong.

I loved reading about a curvy girl that men found attractive. Girls can have curls and be sexy. Shocking, right?  We never read about women that are bigger than a size 2. I found it VERY refreshing.

Let us discuss Sanchez. Where do I even start? He will steal your heart and have you wanting him for yourself. Now keep in mind, sometimes things may start out a certain way, but love has a way of taking on a life of itself.

What happens when Emerson’s past collides with the present? Will it determine how the future will play out? Will Em’s past stop her from moving on?  Emerson always had a dream, and at some point, her best friend Miller was a part of those dreams. Miller left her, deserted her, broke her, shattered her heart into a million pieces. When Miller walks back into Emerson’s life, will she give him a second chance?  Will she put the breaks on her feelings for someone else, because he was once her safe zone? Or will Emerson through caution to the wind, run the Hail Mary, and pray that she picks the right guy, the guy that wiggled his way into her heart, unsuspectingly.

This was a 5 star read for me. I loved every word on every page. I laughed out loud, and I got the ending that I wanted....  Have I mentioned that I want Sanchez for myself. (lol) 

Excerpt

“The day,” he finally said, “when you can’t take it anymore.”

“Take what?”

“This.” He slid his hand down my thigh. “The heat between us, the way it feels when we touch. Damn, just being near you drives me insane. And humans are only gifted with so much patience before they snap. I hope to God that I’m around when you do.”

“You think I’m going to go crazy for you, huh?” My voice sounded way too excited about the idea, and my heart decided to skip a few beats while my body cheered yes!

Sanchez shrugged. “I admire self-control, Curves. After all, this isn’t going to be a one-night stand, and I have a feeling that you’re going to make me work for it in bed. But don’t worry. I’ve been really focusing on my own self-control. I’ll take care of you long before you have a chance to take care of me. So yeah, do I think you’re going to go crazy? I’m counting on it. Betting on it. Praying for it.”

“Be honest. Is that why I’m staying with you?”

“Hell yes.” He laughed. “I’m not letting you lose your shit around Miller, proximity and all that. It’s going to be me, all me.”

“Selfish much?”

He took the exit and pulled up to the stoplight. His gaze burned into mine. “When it comes to you? Yes. I fucking am.”

RACHEL'S ROCKIN' READERS

Release Blitz - LUST by Emma Hart

 

     

New York Times bestselling author, Emma Hart, brings together two polar-opposite single parents in the second book in the sinfully sexy Vegas Nights series.

Detective Adrian Potter had a lot to answer for. I didn’t care that he was tasked with shutting down the city’s most prolific hookers.

I cared that he was stopping me from providing for my daughter.

He didn’t care. Not at all. Until I broke down in the backseat of his car… And he let me go.

Adrian was a single parent, too. He knew how hard I had it. At least, he thought he did. He had a job. He had people who cared. He didn’t know just how lucky he was.

My name is Perrie Fox. I was a whore of the highest value.

Until Detective Adrian Potter.

Until the tattooed, redemption-seeking detective entered my life, looking for his fairytale.

The cop and the hooker.

Happily ever fucking never.

You’ve met one Fox sibling. Now meet the other…

(LUST is book two of the Vegas Nights series. While it is a standalone, the time frame does overlap with scenes in the previous book, SIN. You can, however, read LUST without reading SIN.)

By day, New York Times and USA Today bestselling New Adult author Emma Hart dons a cape and calls herself Super Mum to two beautiful little monsters. By night, she drops the cape, pours a glass of whatever she fancies—usually wine—and writes books. Emma is working on Top Secret projects she will share with her followers and fans at every available opportunity. Naturally, all Top Secret projects involve a dashingly hot guy who likes to forget to wear a shirt, a sprinkling (or several) of hold-onto-your-panties hot scenes, and a whole lotta love. She likes to be busy—unless busy involves doing the dishes, but that seems to be when all the ideas come to life.

  “So, are you seeing him?” “Tomorrow.” She paused. “I have an interview at The Scarlet Letter for a position as a bartender. I have to call my sitter.” “Charity?” “You’d think, right? But no—Dahlia was very clear. I’m not being offered a job, merely an interview. She’s savvy and smart, I’ll give her that.” I smiled, looking out as Zac cannonballed into the pool. Perrie rolled her eyes for me. “Zac! No balls, okay?” I grinned. Zac looked back at her, wide-eyed. “Yeah, Zac! No balls! I don’t want your balls in this pool!” Lola shouted. Perrie slapped her hand against her face. “Goddamn it.” I did all I could do—burst out laughing. “What’s so funny?” Zac asked. “No cannonballs, Zacco!” I reiterated, forcing my laughter under control. He saluted me, and I snorted when he dived underwater. Judging by Lola’s shriek, he was going for her ankles. Not a smart choice after the dinosaurs last night. Lola screamed at the top of her lungs. “Dinosaurs!” Zac sputtered with laughter as he broke the surface. “Zac!” I said sharply. “Stop it.” “’Kay, Dad!” He turned to Lola, and apologized loud enough that we could hear it. Perrie sighed heavily. “Kids give me a headache.” I laughed, leaning right back. The grill was smoking and I’d probably wasted the chance to cook, but fuck it. I’d order in. The kids were having fun and we were talking. Hell, I was learning things about her I never thought I would. I’d buy fifty pizzas if we could carry on like this. Unraveling the mystery of Perrie Fox was priceless. “Are you nervous about seeing Damien?” I asked her, looking at her. My eyes skirted her profile, from her button nose to the freckles that dotted it and the lashes that fanned against her skin to the lips that pursed in the perfect pout of her indecision. “Yes. No. I don’t know. He’s my brother, but eight years is a long time.” She twirled a lock of hair around her finger. “I didn’t think I ever would again, so maybe that’s the thing I can’t accept. That I am going to see him.” “I get that.” “Do you?” “No. I was trying to be sympathetic.” She laughed anyway. “I think the grill is screwed.” I sighed. “I know, but when you talk, I listen.” “That sounds like a line.” I side-eyed her. “If it was, would it work?” “For what?” “To get my cock inside you again.” She pursed her lips. “At least you’re honest.”

I’m not a one-night stand kind of woman. I’m especially not the woman who has a few drinks at a concert and ends up in bed with my childhood celebrity crush, Eli Walsh.

What’s a girl to do after a drunken mistake? Run. I grab my clothes and get away from the powerful, irresistible, and best-sex-of-my-life superstar as fast as I can. His gorgeous green eyes, rock-hard body, and cocky smile have no place in my world. My life is complicated enough.

Someone forgot to tell him that.

Eli is relentless. Pushing his way into my heart, wearing me down, proving he’s nothing like I assumed, and everything I need. But when my world shatters to pieces, he holds the broken bits together. Unwillingly, I fall desperately in love with him.

He made me think we’d have forever . . . I should’ve listened when he said we could only own tonight.
