Tour Stop & Review! MATTER OF TIME (A Heat Wave Novel) by ALANNAH LYNNE

Alannah Lynne Matter of Time (Heat Wave #5) 4/21/2015

 

Blurb: 

Some might think the phrase, “you complete me” is a just cheesy line from the movies, but Lizbeth Sanders knows better…  

In MATTER OF TIME, Lizbeth has spent the past fifteen years desperately searching for someone to fill the void left by Logan Steele’s disappearance from her life. However, rather than finding love and happiness, all she’s found is disappointment, heartache, and an ever-present longing for the man she can never have. Fifteen years ago, Logan Steele left the woman he loved to marry his high school sweetheart and be a father to the child he didn’t know he had. He’s always tried to do the honorable thing, to be a good husband and a great father, but despite his sacrifices and best efforts, the shaky foundation of his marriage crumbles and falls apart. When his identical twin surprises him with a reintroduction to Lizbeth, Logan feels like he’s been given a second chance—at life and love. But a lot can change in fifteen years, and after hurting her so badly the first time, building trust isn't just hard, it’s nearly impossible—especially when duty and obligation pulls him away again.

CeeCee's Review:

Being a native of S.C., this immediately piqued my curiosity!

Hidden within the erotic story of Lizbeth and Logan is a sweet sense of nostalgia, and what might have been. There is a great deal of sex, which was fine by me & wonderfully written, but everything else is secondary. The drama going on in the background was easily dismissed, and most of the story takes place over a weekend in Myrtle Beach.  The fast-paced storyline covers a lot of ground in record time, and comes together nicely in the end.  

Quick, sexy, and fun!

 

     

Excerpt:  

She couldn’t logically think through something that was ninety-nine percent emotional, but what if she took the emotion out of it? What if she reduced them to a baser, primal level, like animals circling each other in the wild? A dog in heat didn’t study the neighbor’s Doberman and wonder if he would be around the next day. The bitch rolled over, allowed him to take what he wanted, and enjoyed the hell out of it. Comparing her and Logan to dogs seemed ridiculous, but that was the only way she knew to cope with the overwhelming magnitude of the situation. Swallowing the lump in her throat, she slowly, tentatively reached out to him. With a barely-there touch, she pressed her index finger to the edge of his forehead, drew it across the unfamiliar scar at his temple, then down to the one intersecting his upper lip. He closed his eyes and moaned as a shudder shook his torso and his head fell back on his neck. Seeing him respond to her touch as strongly as ever gave her the courage to continue her exploration. Using a whisper-soft touch designed to drive him crazy, she traced the outline of his upper lip, then pulled a long, slow sweep along the bottom one. Her breath caught in her throat and she gasped in surprise as his lips parted and his teeth latched onto her finger, capturing her in the velvety heat of his mouth. His tongue wrapped around her and he sucked once… twice… a third time. The force of the suction shot through her arm, into her chest, and dropped into her sex with the heat and intensity of an atomic bomb. Good, so freaking good, just as always with him. Simple caresses and touches were more powerful and intimate than full-on sex with anyone else, and she closed her eyes and allowed the carnal energy swirling between them to carry her away. As the room spun and she grew lightheaded, like being caught in a massive vortex, a terrifying thought jumped into her brain. What if the past fifteen years hadn’t been a nightmare, but this was nothing more than a dream? If so, it was the best, most realistic dream she’d ever experienced, and she prayed she never woke up. She cracked her eyes open and watched his nostrils flare as the heat continued to build between them. She needed to be closer. To taste him. To feel him pressed against her. Scooting to the edge of her seat, she pressed her knees between his legs and smiled as his eyes flashed hotter and his chest rose and fell rapidly. His mouth was masterful, and while the suction on her finger did crazy things to her entire body, it wasn’t enough. When she tugged on her hand, drawing him closer while also indicating she wanted him to let her go, he released her finger with a loud pop. The sound was like a starting gun, and in the next instant, his lips crashed down on hers, hot, hard, and demanding. Logan had always been sexually dominant, but this… this was unlike anything she remembered. One hand slid through the hair at her temple, then wrapped around the back of her head and held her in place while he angled his head and deepened the kiss. His tongue thrust in and out of her mouth, harsh and nearly punishing, and when he nipped on her bottom lip, both of them groaned with the pleasurable familiarity. The past fifteen years melted away, and she was a twenty-year-old girl again, standing in his bedroom, getting ready to crawl into his bed for the first time. They’d kept their relationship platonic for a year, respecting the boundary constraining them because of his off-and-on relationship with Bobbi Jo. But the night he came back to school and told Lizbeth he and Bobbi Jo had broken things off for good, it took less than thirty minutes to ditch their friends at the restaurant and make their way back to his condo. His hands tangled in her hair and held her head in place as he ravished her mouth. She clawed at his shirt, trying to get to the hard muscle and soft skin beneath. She couldn’t get close enough, fast enough, and desperation had her whimpering into his mouth. When he drew back to grab a breath, she latched onto him to keep him close. “More. I need more.”

Review! Playing With Temptation by Erika Wilde

Erika Wilde

Playing With Temptation (The Player’s Club, Book #1)

Release Date: March 23, 2015

Synopsis

When Raina Beck is given an invitation to The Players Club, all she wants is a night of decadence with a gorgeous, sexy stranger. The seductive, mysterious man she meets fulfills her deepest desires and most erotic fantasies, giving her a night she’ll never forget. But forgetting him isn’t quite so easy. 

Logan Cruz prefers his women submissive and compliant in the bedroom . . . everything the independent Raina is not. Yet from the first moment he lays eyes on her, he’s determined to make Raina his. Despite her resistance. 

When Logan is assigned to protect Raina from a stalker, everything between them changes. Sex becomes more than just physical, and emotions run deep. Falling in love was never on Raina’s agenda, but can she let go of the past and surrender the one thing he wants the most . . . her heart?

 Review

This is a nice erotica that gets the blood flowing! 

The passionate relationship between the main characters kept me enthralled throughout, but there was a lot going on in the background. Raina and Logan have the perfect chemistry, but she’s got a great deal of emotional baggage to ditch. I couldn’t quite relate with her, as far as how she’s judged due to her occupation or the fact that she even cares, but once paired with Logan she loosens up a bit. Logan; however, handles his affairs accordingly and knows exactly what he wants. Strong and domineering, he is a force that perseveres. 

I loved the sensuality of the book, as it’s written in a perfectly naughty manner, but Logan was my hook! Raina lacked the essential unwavering confidence that’s necessary for a heroine, but when she’s on her game she’s great. The mystery is enough to keep one in suspense, and the lead into the next installment is intriguing. I enjoyed this read, but it was all about the sex for me!

 

 

About The Author

Erika Wilde (aka Janelle Denison) is the USA Today bestselling author of over 50 contemporary romances for multiple print publishers. 

So, why the new pen name? 

As Janelle Denison I’ve always written sexy books, but lately my writing has taken on more erotic elements that I wanted to keep separate for readers because not everyone likes their reading material on the spicier, kinkier side of romance. However, please be assured that even as Erika Wilde, you will still get an emotionally layered story with characters you’ll care about and fall in love with. That is always my goal, whether I’m writing straight contemporary romances, or more erotically charged stories. 

Currently, I’m working on The Marriage Diaries and making sure that Dean and Jillian enjoy exploring the more erotic side to their marriage. The series will be on-going, with no foreseeable ending as of right now, for as long as readers want to be voyeurs to Dean and Jillian’s sizzling new relationship. 

I’m also planning a spin-off series in the future, featuring the hot military men that work security for Dean at Noble and Associates.

REVIEW! The Space Between by Kate Canterbary

SYNOPSIS

Some lines are meant to be crossed.

Patrick That hair. That fucking hair. It was everywhere, always, and I wanted to tangle my fingers in those dark curls and pull. And that would be fine if she wasn't my apprentice.

Andy My wants were few: good eats, tall boots, hot yoga, interesting work. One incredibly hot architect with the most expressive hazel eyes I ever encountered and entirely too much talent in and out of the bedroom wasn't part of the original plan. Apparently he was part of the package.

Wine was my rabbi and vodka was my therapist, and I needed plenty of both to survive my apprenticeship. Especially with Patrick Walsh leaving love notes in the form of bite marks all over my body.

Amazon 

CONTAINS ADULT CONTENT-18YRS+

REVIEW

This book exudes sexiness! The author is beyond extraordinary and I will buy anything she writes!

The leading female character, Andy, is strong, intelligent, independent, and confident. Patrick is the quintessential Irishman, which in my dictionary means strong, sexy, intense, stubborn, and moody. Externally, her composure remains cool and dispassionate, which drives him borderline obsessive. Internally, they are both going insane just to be close to one another. Their chemistry is atomic!

I was addicted the moment I started! I’ve grown tired of reading about docile women lately, which makes this novel a refreshing change. Andy makes Patrick earn her trust, though it’s not a game. Although their banter is playful, and sometimes spicy, the undertones are endearing.

The Welsh family is adorable, quite lovable, and each sibling complements another. I can’t wait to see who finds love next!

There are several elements that play a part in the brilliance of this erotic novel as a whole. The characters are amazing, the writing is incisive, and the romance is alluring. Point of view is bounced between the hero and heroine decisively, enriching the quality of the read. Research, or extensive knowledge, of Sustainable Architecture is evident. This author has an astute and articulate writing style.

I’ve already purchased the first installment of this series, and I will not miss another!

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kate Canterbary doesn't have it all figured out, but this is what she knows for sure: spicy-ass salsa and tequila solve most problems, living on the ocean--Pacific or Atlantic--is the closest place to perfection, and writing smart, smutty stories is a better than any amount of chocolate. She started out reporting for an indie arts and entertainment newspaper back when people still read newspapers, and she has been writing and surreptitiously interviewing people--be careful sitting down next to her on an airplane--ever since. Kate lives on the water in New England with Mr. Canterbary and the Little Baby Canterbary, and when she isn't writing sexy architects, she's scheduling her days around the region's best food trucks.

NEW RELEASES FROM VIVIEN SPARX! (@viviensparx, @beingnev)

Oh, let the good times roll, Kittens! Vivien has new reads for us and I am stoked! Here is what she has to say!

I am very excited to announce a new collection of stories that I am about to release on Amazon.
The 'Unleashed Collection' is a group of 5 stories that feature sizzling, adults only sexual encounters! They are very definitely NOT my usual erotic romance style, and they are very different to what you might expect when you pick up a Vivien Sparx title!
The new 'Unleashed Collection' is something I have been working on for some time and I have been thrilled by the advance reader reviews.

Starting this Friday I am going to release a new title in the Vivien Sparx 'Unleashed Collection' on Amazon every single day for 5 days.

Each title will be released at the special launch price of $0.99 cents for a limited time.
* On Friday March 15th I will release 'Alicia'
* On Saturday March 16th I will release 'Becky'
* On Sunday March 17th I will release 'Claire'
* On Monday March 18th I will release 'Debbie'
* On Tuesday March 19th I will release a secret fifth title called 'Eve - Training Her Husband to be Her Master.'
The content of these stories is strictly adults only and contain graphic and explicit language of sexual encounters.

The Characters:
JULIA
The man character in my 'Unleashed Collection' is a woman named Julia... and what a woman!
I found her a really interesting character to write. She has a lot of dominant personality about her when dealing with the women who come to her - but when she is around men, she's more than happy to hand over the reins of a sexual encounter and go along for the ride!
Julia has a wicked, wicked sexual streak and loves nothing more than a hot sweaty encounter.
What do I mean exactly?
Well, you are just going to have to read the stories!

The Characters:
ALISTAIR
My favourite character to create for the 'Unleashed Collection' was the subtle support character of Alistair - Julia's able and discreet elderly manservant.
I love his wry humour and his gentle role within each story, and the way he acts as a counter for Julia's outrageous sexual encounters.
Nothing shocks or surprises Alistair!
He only has a small role in each of the 'Unleashed' stories, but he was always a joy to write.

DISCLAIMER:  These are not your typical "mommy porn"  ladies.  This is full throttle, smoking hot and explicit.  Not for the faint of heart!  That being said, here is my review of Alicia.

I am so easy to please.  Write a good story and I am a fan for life.  As a member of Vivien's Street Team, I was offered Claire (releases on Sunday) for review.  I loved it!  I emailed Nev, who I am thinking is Vivien's right hand, and told her I would like to review it for this post.  She rocked out and sent me Alicia for today's review. 

Julia is a strong and independent woman.  She has forged her own path through life and if you don't like it, oh well.  She runs a home that women come to when they need a place to stay or something a little more...satisfying. 

Alicia is a dancer that can't make her rent so she shows up at Julia's.  The rules are simple.  Julia gives you five sexy challenges to complete in five days.  You cannot refuse or you are out of the house.  If you succeed, you can stay as long as you like.  These challenges are not for the faint of heart, kittens.  They involve toys, multiple partners, BDSM and anything else Julia's kinky little mind can come up with!

They are sizzling hot and erotic scenarios that Julia likes to watch or take part in.  I am not going to ruin this story for you because it is soooo worth the time to read.  Just know this, I am awed by the characters Vivien has created and will have the whole set on my kindle by Tuesday!

BLOG TOUR STOP! Beyond 10 Nights by Michelle Hughes and Karl Jones (@MichelleHughes_ , @kast1j)

Wow!  Do you ever put down a book and just sit there for a moment and wonder how in the world you were going to make it till the release of the next story?  That is how I felt when I finished reading 10 Nights.  (Click here for my review of 10 Nights!)  Let me tell you that Beyond 10 Nights was everything I expected and then some!

Leah is in love with Rhett and has accepted his proposal of marriage.  Even though Janie and David don't understand the relationship that she has with Rhett, Leah is hopeful that she will be able to fix things with her friends.  She is devastated when she realizes that Janie has no desire to support her relationship with Rhett and explodes on her.  Furious and in tears, Leah returns to Rhett's house where he makes it clear that he wants her to stay with him anyway and that he wants to take care of her.  The submissive side of her wants to take him up on that offer but she knows that she still needs to find a job to take care of herself.

Leah is very nervous when Rhett tells her that he is opening the dungeon back up and she will be doing a scene that night.  She is not sure how she will react but wants to please her Master.  Later that night, while folks are arriving a surprise guest arrives.  A lifelong friend of Rhett's who also is a Master and lives the lifestyle, Alex.  I have to stop here and say that there is not a single thing about Alex that I don't find sexy as hell.  The man is yummy with a capital Y and it makes me want to find the nearest dungeon and convince him to join me!  That being said, back to the story.  Alex is intrigued when he meets Leah for the first time and can't seem to figure out what has happened to his friend.  He has never treated a sub like he does Leah and Alex decides to take Rhett up on his offer to stay at the house so they can catch up.  Running into Leah in the kitchen the next morning, Alex joins her for breakfast and after talking to her for a bit, he begins to understand Rhett's obsession.  When he realizes that she is job hunting he offers to give her a shot at his advertising agency and convinces her to go with him to check it out.

When Rhett finds that Leah has spent the day with Alex, he explodes with pent up rage and emotion. Leah doesn't feel like she should have to deal with that so she leaves with Alex to take a break. I have to tell you that I don't think I would have been able to handle myself around Alex, cause when sex walks like sin, you have to take advantage. Leah and Alex develop a wonderful friendship and it eventually leads to more. I love where this story goes and the intricate relationships. Go Beyond 10 Nights and into a world of desire.

I don't want to ruin the story for anyone so I will stop there.  If you haven't read the first book in the series, 10 Nights, then you need to hop over to Amazon or click the link below to get started.  This book picks up where it leaves off so you might be a little lost! :)  I was invited to be a stop on this blog tour and excited doesn't even begin to describe it!  The genius behind this fabulous tour decided we should do a little This or That with our two amazing authors.  I have to admit that I was a little curious about their answers to my questions.

This or That with our Authors!
I was curious about what our authors’ choices would be and I was surprised at a few!

Curves by Design (Big Girls and Bad Boys: A BBW Erotic Romance) By J.S. Scott (@AuthorJSScott)

This is the first book by J.S. Scott that I have read and I will be hunting down more! It was nice to read about a full-figured woman as the main love interest and not your traditional type of woman. Molly knows that she has self-esteem issues thanks to her mom's thoughts on her weight all her life. Devon Richards is a sexy, archetict who thinks Molly is a sensual, beautiful woman and he would love to spend more time with her. He is devestated when he believes that she is dating his little brother. When he finds out that they are not together, he realizes that nothing is going to stand in his way of making Molly his. Their story is a nice case of the full-figure girl getting the hot man in the end.

I was not a fan of the manipulation that he used to get her to go on a date with him. However, I am a full-figured woman and I know how hard headed and stubborn we can get. My husband tells me that he would have probably pulled the same kind of stunt to get me to go out with him!

This is a short story but well worth the read.

Rated 4 stars
