<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>An Inconvenient Dare</b><br />by Bethany Lopez<br />contemporary romance novella</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">ebook, </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">82 pages</span><div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Amazon, KindleUnlimited<br /><br />Vanessa has been so busy working her way up the corporate ladder that she's forgotten all about sex over the past two years. When her best friend dares her to pick up a sexy stranger with panty-dropping dimples, she takes the dare and approaches Enrique. Sensing Vanessa's uncertainty, Enrique gives her full control in the bedroom…until he doesn't. <br /><br />What started as an inconvenient dare turns into more than Vanessa ever expected, but when she learns the secret Enrique's been keeping, will she be able to forgive him, or will she forgo her chance at happiness?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Whenever I sit down to read one of Bethany Lopez's stories I know automatically that I need to do three things: 1) set aside a block of time, 2) relax, and 3) enjoy. So I did. This author has yet to let me down. An Inconvenient Dare is like a delicious appetizer. Less than a hundred pages, it's very satisfying and leaves you wanting more. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Vanessa is an admirable heroine. She's a hard worker who needs to remember to have some fun every once in a while. When she finally does go out with her closest friend, Ella, she meets Enrique. A sexy, likable male main character, I was so glad to see the story was narrated by both. Of course, Enrique has a secret he can't share with Vanessa as their relationship deepens. Working together has never been hotter!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Of course, I read this in one sitting. Vanessa's a strong, independent heroine who thinks she's found her Mr. Right. I laughed at her antics, teared up when she was heart stricken, and totally fell for this sizzling couple. As for the secondary characters, I also loved Ella and would adore seeing her get her own story with Enrique's brother, Carlos.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"> An Inconvenient Dare is Bethany Lopez at her best, so prepare to kick back your feet, relax (with or without a glass of wine), and fall in love with these characters. I know I did! </span></div>

The vampire who shattered the world she knew. Handsome, intelligent, and charming, a single taste of Dracula’s embrace overrode Isabella’s cautious sensibilities and left her breathless, craving a life beyond traditional expectations. A destiny of knowledge, which could only be found in the creature’s eternal embrace.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Cupcake Explosion (Cupcakes #4)</b><br />by Bethany Lopez<br />Romantic comedy<br />eBook and paperback, 196 pages<br />Published May 14, 2018<br /><br />For the first time in a long time, life is good. I've got a smokin' hot motorcycle man as my fiancé, the best friends a woman could have, a couple of great kids, and things have been relatively quiet on the PI front.<br /><br />You know what that means... the other shoe was bound to drop sooner or later... <br /><br />Just when I was ready to settle down and plan the coolest wedding Greenswood has ever seen, the shit hit the fan, and hit it hard.<br /><br />My friends are fighting, Cade's been out of town doing God knows what for the club, and my sweet little twins are turning into hair-pulling pre-teens with more drama than my old daytime soaps. <br /><br />I feel like I'm being pulled in a million directions, and I've been going so crazy that Elin's swear jar is near to overflowing. I've been eating cupcakes like a woman possessed, and if I'm not careful, there's going to be a Cupcake Explosion... in my pants.<br /><br />WARNING: THIS BOOK CONTAINS FOUL LANGUAGE, SEX, SOME VIOLENCE, AND SHENANIGANS. IF NONE OF THAT BOTHERS YOU, GRAB A CUPCAKE AND READ ON!<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: large;"><b>Review</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lila, the Queen of All Things Cupcakes, is back and how I missed her! After her fun and suspenseful Hawaiian vacation with her twins and boyfriend, Cade, our favorite private eye has returned home. <i>Cupcake Explosion</i> begins with Lila getting back to her everyday life, except she will soon be marrying her sexy man. Of course, in true Lila style, her trip down the aisle has to have some type of humor and drama...everything fans love about this series.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Her love life is going great, but how about the rest of her life? Her twins are acting like the preteens they are, which means arguing and mood swings. Even her best friends begin bickering and Lila needs to figure out the underlying reason why. What's a girl to do? Grab a cupcake!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I really do enjoy this series. I know when I sit down to read that I will laugh out loud, giggle, and swoon when a certain male enters a scene. Lila is happy and I'm thrilled for her. But her journey always has some bumps and <i>Cupcake Explosion</i> ratchets up those 'bumps' into a rather large <i>boom</i>. Lila should be taking it easy as her wedding date approaches until Cade informs her that he'll be leaving town on motorcycle club business.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Knowing Lila, we can assume she won't take his advice and deal with her nuptials. </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Just before they say "I do," </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">Lila somehow gets involved in messy, shady business as the tension mounts. This series is quick-paced and I wouldn't have it any other way. I really love the addition of Cade's family and enjoy the scenes between them and Lila. Lopez imbues their scenes with such warmth, their moments always tug </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">the heartstrings. And Cade--like any great cupcake--is a yummy treat! I actually missed him when he went away.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Lila's friends are always entertaining, and I'm glad to see another 'couple' happen in book number four. There's mystery, action, laughs, romance, and a sweet wedding in this installment. Unfortunately, I had no cupcakes to enjoy while I devoured Lila's latest book in one sitting. I can only wonder what's next in book five </span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">of author Bethany Lopez' addictive Cupcakes series</span><span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">.</span></div>

<strong>Enchant </strong><br />
<strong>Micalea Smeltzer</strong><br />
(The Enchanted Series #1)<br />
Publication date: November 17th 2017<br />
Genres: Fantasy, Young Adult<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText6125094972699166489">Mara Pryce never imagined that her life was anything but normal and then a strange gray-eyed young man appears at her graduation. When he vanishes without a trace, she’s convinced he’s a figment of her imagination. Then he appears again and shatters her whole world.</span></blockquote>
Mara is an enchanter, part of an ancient line of Wiccan power, and a war is raging—one of good and evil—between the Enchanted and the Iniquitous.<br />
<blockquote>
The Iniquitous want her dead and it’s Theodore’s job as her protector to keep her safe. </blockquote>
<blockquote>
When Mara and Theodore arrive at a safe house, where Mara will remain hidden while learning about her powers, they find that the real threat might be a little closer to home than they want to believe.</blockquote>

<b>Author Bio:</b><br />
Hi. I’m Micalea. Ma-call-e-uh. Weird name, I know. My mom must’ve known I was going to be odd even in the womb. I’ve written a lot of books. Like a lot. Don’t ask me how many, I don’t remember at this point. I have an unhealthy addiction to Diet Coke but I can’t seem to break the habit. I listen to way too much music and hedgehogs have taken over my life. Crazy is the word that best sums up my life, but it’s the good kind of crazy and I wouldn’t change it for anything. </blockquote>

As identical twins, Haylee and Kaylee Fitzgerald have always done things in exactly the same way. Under their mother’s guidance their every outfit, every meal, and every thought was identical. But now things are different. With Kaylee back at home after her sister's betrayal, Kaylee struggles living a life which has been turned inside out. With her mother and Haylee away, Kaylee’s alone and more lost than ever. Her father suggests going to a new school where she can have a fresh start, and where no one will know about her dark past. But if Kaylee knows her sister at all, she knows that her twin isn’t through with her yet…</span><br />

If one gets a hug, the other must, too. If one gets punished, the other must be, too.

<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">I recently read this three book series specifically for this blog tour. As a teen, I devoured books by V.C. Andrews. Series such as <i>Dollanganger, Audrina, Casteel,</i> and <i>Cutler</i>. Mass market paperbacks could be purchased in practically any store or found cheap in used bookstores or flea markets. Andrews had a knack for creating weird worlds and creepy characters which certainly entertained my youthful interest, so I was excited to hear about her latest series. Until I learned the author had passed away in 1986. Since then Andrew Neiderman has ghost written books in the author's name. I won't get into my feelings on that subject here.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The first book, Mirror Sisters, was very hard to get into. I'll be honest and admit I almost gave up after plowing through those beginning chapters--through pages of telling, backstory, large paragraphs of tedious exposition, and past the repetitive thoughts of the narrator ('good' twin Kaylee). Not much happens for many chapters besides hearing about the odd way their overbearing mother (an Andrews trope) has raised her twin daughters Kaylee and Haylee. Though their father lives with them, their mother is the dominant personality in the family and constantly overrides her spouse. Over time he simply gives up by giving in to her.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The voice of the main character bugged me. Kaylee came across as flat and unreal. She didn't sound like a real teen. For a YA, the continual focus on the mother took me out of whatever story the author was trying to create. The pacing was incredibly slow and not much really happened until close to the end. I missed the gothic-like vibe of the traditional Andrews books. Her settings completely drew me into her tales. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Throughout <i>The Mirror Sisters</i> we see the twins who are supposed to be so much alike distancing themselves from one another as they age. It's a natural progression, but their mother won't have it, still insisting on buying their clothes and controlling every aspect of their lives. When she finally lets them attend a real school (after homeschooling for years), Haylee really exercises her distinctiveness by hanging with the type of girls who are the exact opposites of her shy, by the numbers good girl sister Kaylee. Smoking, drinking, experimenting with sex, Haylee exhibits her rebellious nature while dragging her sister into her various schemes and lies. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">The so-called surprise ending didn't work for me since I saw it coming the moment Haylee made her announcement. Unfortunately, for this reader it became a case of too little too late. Still, I read on. Book two, <i>Broken Glass</i>, continues the story from the cliffhanger ending of the first book. Narrated by both twins, we see how each acts under their different circumstances now that they're separated. This installment picks up the pace, reading more like an actual story, taking turns between the sisters as their relationship bears the effects of the strain imposed by Haylee's determination to split apart from her identical sibling. For a contemporary series containing cell phones and their dad owns a computer software company, the tone of this series still comes across as old, like 1970s. The voices of both girls still don't sound realistic to me and I read a lot of YA (in different categories) to base my opinion on.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">One feels for Kaylee's predicament throughout the chapters while Haylee enjoys what her cruel and vindictive action cost her sister. She has what she so craved and wanted-to be the only one-and over time we see the cracks form in her outer layer as her fabricated story about her sister's disappearance weakens. Their mother can't handle having one of her perfect kids gone and their father returns home to try to keep this sad family together. There were chunks of this book and the final book, <i>Shattered Memories</i>, which made me want to scan through. Again, the repetition of events and tedious thoughts, the excessive verbiage, coupled with some additions that seemed like padding, didn't work for me. Instead of a trilogy, after a thorough editing, this would have worked better as a duology. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">**</span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">After reading this trilogy, these are <i>my</i> thoughts on the situation.** </span><span style="font-family: georgia, "times new roman", serif;">The best thing the publisher and the estate of V.C. Andrews could do is release whatever remaining works she left behind and then let the woman rest in peace. Let future generations of readers experience and appreciate HER extensive library (written wholly by her), instead of cashing in on her popularity by offering the public sub-par work written by someone else under her name. To this reader, to continue using her name is insulting, deceitful, and cheating. I chose to remember V.C. Andrews for her original books, not these pale imitations. </span><br />

After becoming addicted to romance novels, she would often rewrite the stories in her head. Then late one night, while listening to music, with story ideas dancing in her mind, she was overcome with an undeniable urge to actually write.</span></div>

She also rides horses as often as she can (which isn’t often) and gets her horse fix by volunteering at the local therapeutic riding center. Her other volunteer gig is a non-profit group that helps military veterans train dogs as support animals and service dogs. In her previous life (former career) she was a veterinary nurse for over 20 years, and has always had a passion for medicine, which is behind the presence of “medicalese” in her stories.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">To the north of the Varis empire, a mysterious faction spreads propaganda against the vampire monarchy. Friedrich Volya, the Duke of Winter Hill, seeks to discover who they are before his uncle finds them first. King Dominik will punish the traitors with brutal force.<br /><br />Local schoolteacher, the raven-haired Brennalyn, is on her own mission—to spy on the duke and discover what she can for the Black Lily. She longs to help thecommonwealth and bring justice to themany orphans left behind from theravages of the blood madness, like thechildren she lovingly keeps in her care. What she doesn’t plan for is the heart-pounding attraction she feels for the duke, enemy to the Black Lily.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
I'm so glad I decided to read the first three books in the Vampire Blood series back-to-back. Not only am I hooked on author Juliette Cross's exciting series, I seriously cannot wait for the next installment!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Snow White may have been sweet and pure, but after Juliette Cross get through with her, she receives a serious update with Brennalyn Snow. A smart, sassy, school teacher with a heart of gold and a house full of orphans she felt the need to care for, Brenna's story introduces something new to this series--family dynamics. Yes, The White Lily is still a paranormal romance, and with the introduction of kids, the series gets a serious injection of pulling on the heartstrings. The scenes with the children who vary in age only enrich the story and provide some magical moments (the littlest one is so endearing). Seeing grown vampires melt in front of a five-year-old girl charmed this reader.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Getting back to the couple of this love story, I was already intrigued by Friedrich in The Red Lily when he helped out Nikolai and Sienna while they were on the run from the Queen's henchmen. Mysterious, a little aloof, and charismatic, I'm thrilled to see him have his story in The White Lily. He's an aristocrat, a duke, a lady's man, and...a loner. Unlike other vampires, he doesn't have a blood harem in his castle and he doesn't care for most of his royal family. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
One aspect of this series I continue to enjoy is the complete level of devoutness these vampires develop when it comes to the women in their lives. From Marius to Nikolai and quite evidently with Friedrich, the magnetism each man feels when they encounter the lady who will become his life mate is thrilling to read. The way they open up and learn to accept their feelings is refreshing to see in male characters. These men can have their Alpha attributes, exude an occasional 'caveman' moment, and still revel in their emotions without losing a shred of their manhood. Cross creates their 'special moments' of realization with lovely strokes and with a true writer's eye. Her words stand-in for paint colors as they establish varying hues along with her precise attention to details. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Friedrich became my favorite of the series heroes as he toyed with the mousy teacher in her drab frocks. The way he pushed her buttons and played with her was fun to watch and made this couple endearing. I especially liked the scene where Brenna fumbles with her excuse for why she was inside his castle spying on him. Their interactions give the story a lightheartedness and a healthy dose of sexual tension and chemistry. The threat of war grows stronger as does the mystery of who this White Lily is. Who is distributing pamphlets for the cause? King Dominik makes an appearance a couple of times (as does his mother later on), and it's soo good to see the bad guys in action so we have a reason to hate them and cheer on the heroes. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I adored this third installment in the Vampire Blood series. There's so much going on, the story lines are moving closer, the various characters and kingdoms are mixing together, and the Black Lily is indeed growing stronger. The romance is heady, beautifully written, and the conflicts keep me invested in this alluring world. From the snow-covered beauty of Winter Hall to the shocking darkness of King Dominik's castle, with each reveal I look forward to what happens next.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I also must mention how much I loved the introduction of the Friedrich's personal guards, the Bloodguard vampires. These paid-for-hire mysterious mercenaries with individual interesting 'talents' and stealth-like assassin skills were fascinating. More please! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Vampire Blood series has become a must-buy for me. Hopefully Mikhail will be featured soon in the series, along with Princess Vilhelmina and the hart wolf Dane too? Whatever the author decides, this reader can't wait. And even though the series can be read out of order, for the full experience begin with book one.</div>

<b>Rating:</b> 5 I LOVED IT!</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<b>Cover comment:</b> I love everything about this cover. The model's eyes remind me of a younger version of the actor Aidan Quinn. The snow, the castle, his clothes, and the fonts, everything works for me.</div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">**Even though I'd read The Black Lily when it was released, I decided to reread it for a book tour for the third book, The White Lily. The tour gave me the opportunity to read the first three books in the series and since I'm a sucker for paranormal romance, I went for it.**</span></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Beautiful people. A dashing prince. A Cinderella wannabe. And attempted murder all in the opening chapters, with vampires? I'm so there. The Black Lily offers paranormal fans a sexy prince in Marius, who is approaching his hundredth birthday and his wedding to a vampire princess. A man in the prime of his vampirehood, we learn of his family history and see his interactions with his parents, the reigning King and and Queen. The fourth and youngest son, Marius has become disenchanted with life in the castle, and in particular, with his parents and what they stand for. The son, accustomed to pampering and believing what he was told, has now matured and grown up. Marius wants more, he isn't satisfied with his current situation and station in life. He soon discovers his unease was warranted the night of a ball held in his honor.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Cinderella has never made such an exciting debut at a party as she does in The Black Lily. The opening scene totally drew me in as we meet Arabelle, a beautiful, lowly, servant girl, also dissatisfied with her plight in life. She wants more for herself and for her people in the surrounding town of Surly. The author gives us just the right amount of detail to paint a full portrait of a kingdom mired in secrets. All is not right in the so-called perfect life of the royal family and we receive a crash course in this scene at the ball. Arabelle is a convincing character, tough, brawny, and she knows how to utilize her feminine wiles to get what she needs. No fairy godmother for her-she plans out what she needs and does it on her own. I liked her immediately. Marius, though a little standoffish in the beginning, began to grow on me, and I liked the smart and charming Nikolai. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The story is engrossing, well plotted, with a nice mix of action, adventure, and sizzling tension. Through the romantic scenes we are able to understand the two main characters better and I enjoyed their cat and mouse antics. The sexy times definitely held my attention. Running a revolution has never been so beguiling. The secondary characters are also well created and I had a feeling Nikolai would be next to have his tale told in the series. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif;">With the Vampire Blood series, author Juliette Cross deftly mixes historical with paranormal, tosses in some updated fairy tales, adds a hefty batch of romance and steaminess, along with intriguing characters and situations. This is one series I'm hooked on!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">You don't have to be a vampire fan to enjoy the Vampire Blood series. I thoroughly relished my time spent with the royals and rogues in Cross's engaging first story in what promises to be an enticing series. Long live the Black Lily!</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Rating:</b> 4 I really liked it</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><b>Cover comment: </b>Even though I do tire of dudes with open shirts on romance covers, because of the historical time period and since there is a scene with Marius and his open shirt, I actually didn't mind this cover. I think the entire series features striking cover art and they're very sexy in a good way (and not a corny way).</span></div>

<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The dashing and brooding lieutenant Nikolai gets to star in his own story in book two of the Vampire Blood series. The Red Lily is all about him and the alluring Sienna, the witch of the Silvane Forest and rider of the mysterious hart wolves. In this next installment, the story truly takes off as the Black Lily membership grows and the Queen's deeds turn even deadlier. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Nikolai has left his position with the Legionnaires and is considered a traitor. He becomes guardian to the human woman Sienna, escorting the face of the rebel movement to various towns to get their message out and recruit new members. War is inevitable now that word has spread about the murders of innocent villagers and the dumping of their bodies. The story continues to be engrossing, spanning across various kingdoms, and becoming more involved. Who is traitor? Who is spy for the Queen? These questions become a part of everyday life for these characters.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The author weaves multiple story lines throughout the book, adding her own touch to the fairy tale of Red Riding Hood by making her a grown-up and placing her in a magical forest along with bewitching hart wolves. I enjoyed this aspect of the novel as well as Sienna's backstory with her grandmother. The two sides of the impending war grow bolder in their machinations and deeds, as Nikolai grapples with his feelings for the red-haired quiet beauty, Sienna. Little does he know how he starred in her fantasies when he went away. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">The Red Lily has such a gripping love story at its center between these two. Watching Nikolai try to bury an incident from his past and move on so he may have a future with Sienna was moving. I've been his cheerleader since the first book. Sienna is fascinating and she grows into her role as the face of a movement. Their romance buds and blossoms as they try to maintain their roles in the upcoming war. </span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">As the series continues, I did notice there were a few occasions where I wanted more of the actual story to unfold instead of the continuing romance. Since I've become so engrossed in this world, I guess my patience for more action has grown, and more so for some of it to be off the sheets. Cross does pen her love scenes with an adoring paint brush, giving readers a glimpse into everything from the sheer physicality of the coupling to the raw emotions, revelations, and gentlest touches. As a reader, I feel for her characters, and this is a huge part of the series' appeal. </span></div>
<div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I cannot wait for Friedrich's story, which is next in the Vampire Blood series.</span></div>

<em>
When Red falls for the Big Bad Vampire…</em><br />
<br />
The Black Lily resistance needs a larger army if they are to defeat the vampire monarchy. In order to do so, former lieutenant and traitor to the vampire Crown, Nikolai must seek help from
the red-hooded temptress he needs to avoid at all costs. The secret he carries could prove dangerous for her if she gets too close…even though keeping her close—very close—is the only thing on his mind.
Sienna will do anything for the Black Lily, and when Nikolai asks for her assistance to gain the trust of the commonwealth, it’s the last thing she wants to do. The thought of leaving her woods and her wolves behind is terrifying…not to mention the danger being with Nikolai poses.

EXCERPT</h1>
“What can I do for you?” he asked so casually that Sienna felt her pulse pound even faster. “Are you utterly mad?”
“Sweetheart, you will have to come right out and tell me what has made you so furious.”
“Lieutenant, she could be a spy for the queen.”
“Who? Colette?” Nikolai’s perfect mouth slid into a salacious grin, his canines sharp and ready. “Highly doubtful. Colette is motivated by other means.”
“You’re a fool to fall into such a woman’s trap.”
His smile faded. “Am I?” He edged closer, standing straight. “And what trap is that?”
“She’s just using you.” Unable to bite back her tongue, Sienna continued on. “She’s a…a blood whore.”
He corralled her till her back hit the wall. “Oh, she most definitely is that.”
“You’ve been with her before, haven’t you?”
“A vampire must feed.” He braced one hand above her head, his gaze intent and watchful. “And I am very hungry, sweetheart. The voyage from Cutters Cove was over a week on the ocean, and I haven’t fed since we set on land. I came directly to find you, my primary objective.” His voice dropped two octaves when he said the last, his body inching closer. “You do not like Colette? Fine then. Choose another for me, and I’ll proposition her.”
“Proposition?”
“A vampire must pay for his services. Either in coin. Or pleasure.”
Her breath came rapidly as she remained transfixed on his vampire eyes, glowing a supernatural blue.
“Which did you offer Colette? For her services?”
“Ah, well, Colette is one of those women who pretends to be a bleeder for the money and the hardships she must overcome in life.” He swept a long lock of Sienna’s hair over her shoulder, one finger trailing across her collarbone and shoulder. She tried to hide her shiver, but failed. “But what she really wants is the pleasure. If Colette upsets you, I will certainly choose another. There are at least two more in the room who would be willing.”
Sienna’s mouth fell open in shock. “How do you know that?” she asked, darting a glance to the side but seeing no one. The crowd still hovered close to the Barrow brothers, and Nikolai effectively blocked out the world, forcing her attention only on him. He grazed a finger along her jaw, sliding it down her neck to where her pulse beat rapidly in her throat. She thought his canines grew even longer right before her eyes, but it must’ve been a trick of the light.
“I know, because I have been alive over a century. And in that time I have studied the mannerisms of mankind. I know all the tells a woman makes when she wants me. The furtive glance. The parted mouth. The rapid heartbeat. The light sheen of sweat on her skin as she pretends I cannot tell it is all for me.”
Hoping her voice didn’t tremble too much, she asked, “And there are others in this room who fit this description?”
“Indeed. The barmaid, Lizzie, is one. And there’s a farmer’s daughter still sitting on a barrel of ale in the back who will serve. So tell me, sweetheart. Who will it be? I’ll let you choose.”</div>

Her secret has been safe, until now...<br /><br />When Laurel needs help with her business plan, her best friend urges her to seek help from Dillon. Determined to push her feelings aside and focus on her fledgling business, Laurel knows she needs to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means being treated to indifference and big brother teasing from the man she loves. <br /><br />Can Laurel work with Dillon and still keep her heart intact, or will things get Too Distracting when Dillon realizes what a beautiful, kind, and generous woman she has become?<br /><br />Too Distracting is the third in an all-new small-town romance series by Bethany Lopez.

<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: large;"><b>REVIEW</b></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">Too Distracting is the third book in The Lewis Cousins series by author Bethany Lopez, and though it can be read as a standalone, I implore you to start at the beginning with book number one. This group of relatives and friends has a nice rapport and being familiar with each character's story only enriches the reading experience. I really enjoyed Laurel and Dillon's book. Laurel is so nice and sweet, and so determined to expand the business her parents began and passed over to her. Dillon, like his twin sister Jazzy, works very hard to expand their sporting goods company. Their love story is extra special because it features two characters who have known each other since childhood, and not necessarily liked or trusted one other. There's something special about these types of stories I find appealing.</span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div>
<span style="font-family: "georgia" , "times new roman" , serif;">This is a quick, satisfying read and I couldn't help smiling as I read it. The author has a way of making her characters come across as friends and the story line is easy to jump right into. There's romance and spice, charm and small town magic. I rooted for both characters to have their HEA and I always enjoy reading dual narratives. I cheered Laurel on when she suddenly turned brazen in the hotel and thank goodness Dillon listened to his sister during the Chicago trip. I wonder who will be featured in book four. I'm really hoping to read about a certain bartender's story soon. This book and the series are so recommended. I love the covers too!</span></div>

<b><i>Hunter</i></b><br />
I’m a farmer. I love to have my feet planted on the dirt and my hands digging in the soil. I don’t expect to have my hands on the new enticing morsel next door. She bakes me an apple pie and prances around in these sexy red boots. I’m a Southern boy with manners. The way I’m thinking about that girl is anything but friendly.<br />
<br />
<b><i>Lenora</i></b><br />
I’m a painter. I’ve moved to the countryside for some inspiration. There’s inspiration alight, right next door. When my horse dumps me right in this cowboy’s lap. He comes to my rescue while shirtless. What’s a girl to do? Sometimes you got to take a bull by the horns and giddy up.<br />
<br />
When Hunter’s farm becomes in jeopardy will their love stay strong or will it buck them off on their keisters?<br />

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="gmail-s1">As the successful and driven CEO of Lewis Sporting Goods, Dillon rarely has time to eat a home cooked meal, let alone put any time or effort into maintaining an actual relationship. He's been living on fumes and casual encounters for so long that finding love and starting a family never even crossed his mind, until his cousins Gabe and Reardon found women who gave them both. </span>
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span class="gmail-s1"><br /></span></span>
<div class="gmail-p1">
<span class="gmail-s1" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Laurel has been in love with Dillon since she was nine years old. Unfortunately, he's always seen her as his little sister's pesky best friend. She can't stop her heart from beating frantically whenever he's near, but she's become an expert at keeping her feelings from everyone, especially Dillon. Her secret has been safe, until now...</span></div>
<div class="gmail-p1">
<span class="gmail-s1" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">When Laurel needs help with her business plan, her best friend urges her to seek help from Dillon. Determined to push her feelings aside and focus on her fledgling business, Laurel knows she needs to do whatever it takes to succeed, even if it means being treated to indifference and big brother teasing from the man she loves.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span>
<div class="gmail-p1">
<span class="gmail-s1" style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Can Laurel work with Dillon and still keep her heart intact, or will things get Too Distracting when Dillon realizes what a beautiful, kind, and generous woman she has become?</span></div>
<div class="gmail-p2">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Too Distracting is the third in an all-new small-town romance series by Bethany Lopez. Follow the Lewis cousins as they learn about love and loss in Cherry Springs, the kind of place where there are festivals for every occasion and everyone knows your business.</span></div>

Drugs, sex, alcohol—she uses everything possible to numb the pain from her past, but it never seems to help. When Lord Carrick Trudeau pays her dowry, she finds herself in a position she never thought possible. He’s older, darker and seems to know exactly what to do to make her feel amazing, not like the broken little girl she actually is.</span></span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The rush of the high hit me quickly, making my blood sing in my veins. My body shook, not just from the drugs, but from the pounding bass and strobe lights filling the club around my group of friends. Juliet swayed to the music freely next to me, urging me to want to follow her lead. Hands brushed over my body, making my skin prickle from her touch. I couldn’t tell if I wanted it to stop, or if I wanted more. My guard stood by the doors, leaving me to self-destruct all by myself. This was how I wanted it and none of them would dare interrupt my fun.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The press had been aching to follow me into the club since I passed through the doors earlier this evening. Eventually, someone would make it through all the security, and inevitably there would be yet another story of my depraved behavior, which would sell papers. Of course there would be; I didn’t want to disappoint my fans. I giggled at the thought. My father hated me because of the messes I made, my mother didn’t know what to do with me, and my sister was disappointed in my horrible choices. It was just a normal day in my world.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">A strong arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me back against a hard chest. At first I didn’t resist the feeling of this stranger against me. Random sex with someone in the bathroom sounded entertaining. Juliet would probably want to watch. The arm tightened against my ribs.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">My eyes shot open, but none of my friends were there. They had all abandoned me, but who knew how long ago that had been.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">“Let go of me!” I protested. “If you knew who I was, you wouldn’t be manhandling me without asking first, you asshole.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">The chuckle that followed surprised me. “I’ll do whatever I damn well please, little girl. And I know exactly who you are, Princess Scarlett.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">That dark, smoky voice sounded familiar. I looked over my shoulder and dark obsidian eyes met my ice blue ones, pinning me in place. Bright lights from the club flashed over our bodies as I studied him. I shivered again, but this time Lord Carrick was the cause of it; certainly not any illegal substances I may or may not have taken.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">

I didn’t think this was your scene anymore.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">His jaw tightened. “It’s not, and it won’t be yours either.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I turned to face him, placing my hands on my hips, and narrowed my eyes. “You don’t get to decide that, now do you?”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He leaned in and ran his nose over the shell of my ear as he spoke, making a shiver run up my spine. “Oh Princess, you have no idea what I get to decide now.” This encounter was getting odder by the second. Surely he didn’t mean that the way it sounded. “It’s time to go, and I would prefer you don’t make a scene.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">His voice was calm, but I heard the warning in it loud and clear.</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“If you want me to sleep with you, all you have to do is ask. It doesn’t matter to me that you’re almost twice my age. You’re still incredibly sexy,” I said, running my hands up his chest. “I like silver foxes, and you </span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: italic; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">definitely</span><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> qualify as a silver fox.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">He gave me a wry smile. “Believe me, I’ll fuck you blind soon, but it won’t be in this club. Or any club, for that matter.” I gasped as he reached down and grabbed my ass, pinning me up against him. “Now let’s go, Scarlett. We have a long drive ahead of us and I want to get there before morning.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">
<span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: "times new roman"; font-style: normal; font-weight: 400; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><span style="font-size: medium;">I swallowed hard and attempted to glare up at him. “What the hell are you talking about? I’m not going anywhere with you.”</span></span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.44; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-indent: 18pt;">

He started dragging me behind him without answering my question, completely ignoring me. My guard wasn’t coming to my rescue either. Were they really going to let this man kidnap me? What in the hell was going on? I took a step back and stumbled as I tried to yank out of his hold. His grasp on my wrist tightened, steadying me before I was able to fall to the ground. The last thing I saw before the blackness crept over my vision were his dark, enchanting eyes.</span></span><br />

<blockquote>
<span id="freeText12557662258198965132"><b>Achievement Unlocked: Geek Virgin</b></span><br />
When Mia Strong, proud geek-girl and popular gaming blogger, auctions off her virginity online, she knows she’ll make waves. But what she will not be making is a love connection. Her rules are set in stone: One night. No further contact.<br />
It’s a desperate step, but it’s the only way she can go to medical school and pay her mother’s mounting hospital bills.<br />
<b>Difficulty Level: Millionaire CEO </b><br />
Adam Drake, the enigmatic auction winner, is a software prodigy who made his first million at seventeen. Now, in his mid-twenties, he’s sexy, driven and–as CEO of his own gaming company–he’s used to making the rules. Before Mia knows what’s happening, he’s found the loophole in the rules of her auction. Every stipulation she’s made to protect her heart gets tossed by the wayside.<br />
<b>She can’t tell if he’s playing her…or if he’s playing for keeps.</b><br />
<i>This New Adult book is intended for readers over the age of 18 due to adult language, sexual content and adult situations.</i></blockquote>

<strong>He Wants To Use Me For Revenge, I Just Want Him To Use Me.</strong><br />
<strong>Bree</strong><br />
I wish my mom never dragged me along when she ran off with her junkie boyfriend Antonio. The worst thing about it was she was having an affair and they took fifty million dollars of Andrew’s money when they went.<br />
Now Andrew’s got fifty million reasons to want us all dead and, after years of life on the run, I can’t take any more of their abuse, so I’ve *got* to get out of here… somehow.<br />
<strong>Andrew</strong><br />
It couldn’t have been any more poetic when I saw Bree auctioning her first time on Innocence For Sale.<br />
After years of searching for my revenge, it fell right into my lap. Mouth-first.<br />
I’ll take everything she’s selling, and more. She’ll moan my name, she’ll tell me where Julia, Antonio and my money are.<br />
I knew all that. I didn’t expect to find an accomplice, my other half, the only woman who ever made me want to grind out our pleasure non-stop until we can’t see straight.<br />
Just when I think I’m going to drive off into the sunset with my dream-girl, it looks like we’re going to have to make a last stand instead…”</blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
With a sigh, I lined up the pads with my eyes and tied the blindfold behind my head. Although it was silky smooth to the touch, it had more elasticity than I would have thought and it resulted in a tight fit. With the pads, I couldn’t see even a tiny sliver of light out of the top or bottom of the blindfold, yet they were thin enough that when I touched the material at the front, it didn’t bulge out.<br />
“OK,” said Todd.<br />
I heard a knock on the door, then Todd said goodbye and walked away. There was no sound from the other side of the door until the elevator had begun its decent, taking the driver with it.<br />
Then there was a soft click in front of me and I felt a waft of air from inside what must have been the penthouse. It carried with it the scent of flowers and a faint wisp of cigar smoke, and a cologne I knew well.<br />
It was the kind Andrew used to wear, Clive Christian 1872. I inhaled deeply, despite myself. If the entire atmosphere of Earth could have been replaced with this intoxicating mixture, that would have been fine by me.<br />
Whether it was the heat of his body, or some sixth sense, I could feel that my buyer was standing close in front of me. I licked my lips nervously.<br />
“Hello?” I squeaked.<br />
Warm breath puffed against my ear and neck and I gasped as he whispered to me. “Do as I say. Follow my lead.”<br />
IFS customers were the kind of men, women, and couples who had risen to the top of their fields, used to getting their way. Ada had told me that they were almost always relentless alpha males, but the power of Mr. Smith’s voice, even at a whisper, rammed the point home more than any lesson from the high-end madam. That was a voice that demanded obedience.<br />
He grabbed my hand, his grip as sure as his voice. This was no wheelchair-bound old oil tycoon getting his last thrill before keeling over. This was a man at the height of his power.<br />

<strong>Caught Beast Mate</strong><br />
<strong>Milana Jacks</strong><br />
(Beast Mates #4)<br />
Publication date: October 7th 2017<br />
Genres: Dystopian, New Adult, Paranormal, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
<span id="freeText10453109016843172774">Her protector, her nemesis. His once-in-a-lifetime second chance.</span><br />
Kidnapped and taken from her home, Sienna is stuck in a beast community without the resources to find her way back. But she’s a survivor. Just like the wounded, bone-thin beast she finds in the desert.<br />
Torrent was warned never to steal a human woman—especially if she’s his pair. He didn’t listen. Captured, beaten, starved by Men of Earth, he’s as near death as he can get without tipping into the void.<br />
When her familiar scent brings him back to consciousness, recognition slams his gut. But there’s no answering light in her blue eyes. It’s just as well. If she remembered him, she’d know to run from the beast who once took her.<br />
Although the spark of attraction burns bright between them, there’s danger in the heat. Because even if his crippled body had something to offer her, the forces arrayed against them are determined to snuff out their love before it catches flame.</blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
“Ah. But werewolves don’t exist.”<br />
“Neither did aliens until you came here.”<br />
“True.”<br />
“It’s the teeth,” she said. “And your jaw. It’s large and hard, and when you open your mouth, all your teeth show. I don’t want to feed you, you know, put my hand inside the jaws.”<br />
“Well, I’m not gonna bite your hand.”<br />
“I don’t know that. The one I remember bit my dad.”<br />
<em>Here goes.</em> “You want to tell me about it?”<br />
“Sure. A beast went after me and Dad. Dad fought him. Before the beast snatched me, Daddy got him in the chest.” She pointed at my scar.<br />
I lifted her hand with mine, picked up the fork, and put it in my mouth. “Go on. Tell me what happened.”<br />
Sienna fed me another few bites. I put my hand over her knee. She paused but didn’t reject my touch.<br />
“We rode to Beast City. He was losing a lot of blood, couldn’t ride his bike. So he parked in the middle of the desert. Then he fell off the bike. I called his people on their emergency channel and told them our location.”<br />
That did not happen. She made it up. “How did you know to call them?”<br />
“Oh, you know, I pressed buttons on his bike until a beast answered my Mayday call.”<br />
“And then what happened?” I squeezed her knee when she put more food in my mouth. I dreaded finishing my meal and searched the tray for dessert or something else she could feed me.<br />
“I told them where we were so they knew to come get their guy.”<br />
“He snatched you and killed your Dad, but you found it in your heart to save his life.”<br />
“I’m not a monster. I couldn’t leave him there.”<br />
She’d robbed me and left me to die. “How did you know where you landed?”<br />
“A compass on the bike’s dashboard.”<br />
“True.”<br />
“The beast died shortly after. Before the help arrived.”<br />
“Penance,” I said. “For taking you.”<br />
“I’m surprised you agree.”<br />
Sienna put the tray away, then stood there for a second. “You’re not as bad as him,” she said.<br />
“Not at all.” <em>I am worse.</em><br />
“In a few hours, I’ll return with lunch and breakfast. Three meals a day.” It was already after eight at night. I chuckled.<br />
She winked at me and opened the door.<br />
“Thank you,” Zarik said from the hallway. He and the guard walked inside carrying water buckets. They dropped the buckets and pulled the tub to the middle of the room, then poured the water inside the tub. The guard left immediately while Zarik stayed. “For his bath,” he told Sienna.<br />
“He needs one. Can you help him inside? Then we can be off.”<br />
Wait, what? We? There was no “we” with Zarik and Sienna, and there never would be. And I was certain I’d have to kill this male when he brushed his knuckles over her shoulder. The only thing that saved his hand was Sienna. She recoiled from his touch. Damn straight! I sat up and scooted to the edge of the bed. “Thank you, Zarik. That will be all.”<br />
He snorted.<br />
“Got something to say?” I cracked my neck.<br />
His gaze drifted to my stump. I was the weaker of the two of us, but I outranked him and Sienna was mine. Mine! I growled a warning.<br />
“Okay, then,” Sienna said and pushed Zarik out the door. She slammed it shut, folded her arms on her chest, and glared at me.<br />
“What?” I barked.<br />
“What’s your problem?”<br />
“Oh, I can’t even count them all.”<br />
“Try.”<br />
I narrowed my eyes. “You care for me and me only.”<br />
“I care for whomever Hasel asks me to care for, and when you leave, this beast will stay. Such is my shit life until I can leave too.”<br />
“Where are you going?”<br />
“Nowhere. Remember my dad?”<br />
“Mm-hm.”<br />
“He’s alive, and he’s gonna find me. When he finds me, I’m going home.” She flung open the door. “Bye!”<br />
“Wait,” I said. “Do you remember his name?”<br />
“Whose?”<br />
“The beast from the lake?” Shit! Too late. She’d never mentioned a lake.<br />
“Priest. They call him Priest.”<br />

<strong>Five </strong><br /><strong>J.A. Huss</strong><br />(Mister 0.5)<br />Publication date: September 19th 2017<br />Genres: New Adult, Romance<br />
<blockquote>
Five Aston has known Rory Shrike for as long as he can remember. He played with her in the sandbox. He went to every damn horse show just to be supportive. He helped her with her French, walked her home from school, and faked his test scores just to stay with her a little longer and not be sent off to college early.<br />
But eventually he had to move on.<br />
And so did she.<br />
Never has a second chance meant so much to a boy who loves a girl.<br />
A standalone book that is also a spin-off of the Rook & Ronin Series and prequel to the Mister Series. You can read it first, you can read it last. It doesn’t really matter because it’s f*cking Five.</blockquote>

<strong>EXCERPT:</strong></div>
“You want a kiss?”<br />
“Mmmhmm,” I say, closing my eyes as I picture it. God, I’ve dreamed of this moment for ages. “I really need one, Five.”<br />
His mouth touches my earlobe. Lips caress the soft skin of my neck. “Like this?” he asks.<br />
“Yes,” I practically moan. “Just… like… that.”<br />
“Do you want more, Princess?” he asks, his voice low now. Growly. Filled with so much promise.<br />
“More, please,” I say, in my sweetest princess voice.<br />
“Then promise me, baby. Just say those two words. ‘I promise.’ And as soon as you do that, I’ll give you everything you want. OK?”<br />
“Five,” I moan. “Just—”<br />
His hands come up suddenly. He cups my face, stares into my eyes with the most sincere expression I’ve ever seen on him. And underneath that sincerity, I see… fear. “Promise me.”<br />
“Five,” I say, unable to stop staring back. This is everything. Everything I’ve always dreamed of. Five pressing me up against a wall. Me, the only thing on his mind. Except I’m not the only thing on his mind, am I? No. Those creeps from the past are back. That’s why he’s here. And even though I’d normally not give in so easy, I know this is not a game. So I say, “I promise. Now stop talking, you stupid genius, and kiss me already.”<br />
He smiles. Leans in. I close my eyes, ready for it. Finally gonna get what I want.<br />
But then he moves his mouth to my ear and nibbles on my lobe. “Good girl,” he coos. “But I’m not sure I believe you, Princess. I can feel those wheels turning inside your head. They’re grinding hard.” He presses his hard cock against my hip when he says that last part. “So I’m gonna hold off on that kiss until I get back tonight. And if you’ve been good, and if you’ve held up your end of the—”<br />
“What?” I say, pushing him back. “You will do no such thing, Five Aston! I want a fucking kiss and I want one right now! I’ve waited six years for this, and denying me is practically emotional abuse. Now stop fucking around and kiss me, goddammit!”<br />
“Who’s the boss of you, Rory?”<br />
I huff out some air. “Me.”<br />
He smiles. It’s a big, genuine, I’m-gonna-teach-you-who’s-boss smile. “Wrong answer.”<br />
