REVIEW BLITZ: What I Need by J. Daniels



WHAT I NEED
BY J.Daniels
Alabama Summer Book 5
Release Day: March 5, 2017



From New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels, comes a sexy new STANDALONE novel.

Riley Tennyson has made a huge mistake.

At least, that’s what she keeps telling herself.

Showing up to her brother’s wedding pissed off and newly single, Riley seeks comfort in solitude and an open bar, until the gorgeous and irresistibly charming CJ Tully makes her a better offer―a wild night with the master of smooth-talking where nothing is off limits.

Riley does what any single woman would do, and a connection is made. One neither one of them can ignore. But when she comes home to the boyfriend she no longer thought she had, Riley buries her secret and begs CJ to do the same.

Forget about each other. It was a mistake. That’s all it was… right?

Desires are hidden. Distance is kept. Until one night CJ makes the ultimate sacrifice, and Riley can no longer avoid the man she can’t stop thinking about.

Not with him sleeping down the hall…





MY FAVORITE BAMA BOY EVER!! I think I’ve said that when I read Reed but hot damn, CJ changed my mind. What I Need was a brilliant play of flirting, romance, a tinge of drama, and a whole lot of fun! 

"I got a taste of something I want more of and a taste like that, babe, there’s no forgetting.”

Riley just wanted to be enough, and she would do anything to be just that. This sweet, sweet girl was an absolute treat in this story. Riley was definitely a sunshine momentarily covered by clouds but once she was able to shine, you just can’t help but love her. She was selfless and thoughtful but contained a passion that only CJ Tully could unleash. 

Between the rough and the dirty he gives me sweet as if he really cares and this really matters, and my little naive heart believes it.

CJ Tully was surrounded with love birds. But he never quite craved falling as much as he did when he saw Riley Tennyson… at her own brother’s wedding. Oh my gah! CJ IS SOMETHING ELSE!!! I'm sure Tully is his own category of hero. Sweet, hot, naughty, perceptive, and persistent. AND a cop! What more can you ask for? He is THE ultimate book boyfriend material. I loved how he was hot but was quirky, too. How he was courageous but was sweet as hell. How dirty and consideate he could get. He was a confident man who knew what he wanted and deserved and he wasn’t shy on showing and saying how he feels about it. And man, does this man have a way with words. Seriously, I dare you not to fall for the #TullyCharm

Do you have any idea how good you look being mine?

I LOVE LOVE LOVE the push and pull between CJ and Riley. The moment they surrendered to each other was off-the-charts hot but also so sensual and romantic. Miss J. Daniels definitely knows how to answer every Bama loving reader’s whims. Every possible fantasy, wish, emotion, and desire was met so brilliantly. It was funny yet also sentimental. It was sexy but oh-so sweet. It was bone-deep romantic but fell within reason. The plot was just continually engaging and interesting. What I loved, too, was how the other characters of the series were so intact, present and felt; feeding my Bama obsession so well. Clearly, Miss J knows what the readers wants and she gives it to us only to make us want more. 

What I Need was just jampacked with every single thing you want and need in a romance. Maybe even more. It certainly surpassed my expectations! J. Daniels continue to outdo herself. I can't wait for more Bama!!

This book can be read as a stand-alone. 
Book 1--Four Letter Word 



Every time J. Daniels writes a new book, she sets the bar higher. And so far, every new book somehow reached a point that the previous one didn't. Hit the Spot was an irresistible read. It definitely hit all the possible spots that could possibly be hit on me. 

“Harder it is to get somethin’ you want, the better it feels when you finally get it.”

Tori wasn’t the kind of girl who backed down. But there was just something sinfully delicious about Jamie McCade’s sinful offers. I loved how sassy this woman is. She protected her heart and the people she loved and she would do anything to keep them safe. There’s a seriously beautiful amount of passion in her and I loved how she valued who she gave it to. Tori was a fiery, fun, and sassy woman and I absolutely adored her. 

Jamie McCade. Gorgeous dickhead. Local asshole. Biggest player on the planet.

Jamie McCade was used to winning. But there seems to be one blonde trophy he can’t win. My god, my love for this man is endless. I knew he would steal my heart when I read FLW but my, did he steal more in this book. Jamie was a hot, driven, and naughty crass-mouth that I loved from the time I met him. The drive in that man is ceaseless. His character is generally so bright and fun but I loved him most for the way he loves his girl. Swoon. Swoon. Swoon. I’m definitely not forgetting this man anytime soon. 

“It’s you, babe. Never had nothin’ like this. Never had nothin’ even close. And never will again.

I did nothing but internally squeal and swoon while reading this book. One would think I’ve experienced all forms of romance and here goes J. Daniels bringing Jamie to prove me wrong. There was something so intense on the way Jamie loved Tori that had me sighing in appropriate places. This book was just so jam-packed. No page was wasted and no scene was dragged. Every single word just drove into perfection. With the right amount of drama and pull, this fun-filled, steamy read will take your breath away. One of this year’s best, for sure.

EXCERPT

Tori froze a foot away, blinking at me. She didn’t speak. If she had a reason for coming in here, it looked like that reason just left her. She seemed lost.
“Legs,” I probed, when she kept with the staring and not speaking routine.
“Mm?”
“What are you doin’ in here, babe?”
I had no fucking idea what was going on, but unless Tori wanted to watch some chick grind all over me, she needed to get what she came for and step out.
She wet her lips. I watched her neck work with a swallow.
“You showed me your dick,” she stated.
I felt my mouth twitch. Fuck yeah. Breathing a laugh, I relaxed back onto the bench, arms spread behind me and hands gripping the black leather cushion. I tipped my head to the side. “See that impression is stickin’,” I said. “What’s that got to do with this?”
“You showed me your dick after I flashed you. That was your move.”
“Yeah.” I nodded. What the fuck was she getting at?
Tori smiled. Her sin-colored lips stretching slow. “This is mine,” she said, lifting her shoulders as if this shit she was declaring wasn’t a big deal, which it sure as fuck was.
This is hers…Oh, fuck me.
Fuck. Me.
Tori moved closer. Whatever smirk I was wearing pulled from my mouth. That pressure built again, in my chest and lower. I shifted on the bench.
“Legs,” I warned, my voice vibrating in my throat as I watched her walk toward me. “What’d I say about takin’ this shit places you can handle? Did you think this through?”
I was willing to bet she didn’t. If she had and knew how this could play out, with her bent over and me buried deep, she wouldn’t be back here.
“Shh.” Tori stopped in front of my knees. “If we talk, I won’t go through with this,” she admitted, sounding anxious. “And I doubt you’d be chattin’ up the girl who was supposed to be in here, so quit it. Just sit there. Shut up. And keep your hands to yourself.”
“You know what you’re doin’?” I asked, looking up at her. “’Cause in this room I’m allowed to touch, babe. Rules are out there.” I tipped my chin at the door, keeping her gaze. “Not in here. In here, I’m participatin’. You don’t like that deal, you better quit now and think of another move, ’cause the second you start takin’ shit off, Legs, I’m on you.”
“Then I guess I don’t need to worry,” Tori shot back, speaking with confidence and smiling again. The fuck did that mean? My brow tightened. “Say again?”
“I don’t need to worry ’cause I’m not taking anything off, meaning you won’t be on me. I’m just dancing.”
I stared at her for a beat. Then a laugh rumbled in my chest as I thought about how fucked she was.
“What?” she asked, tilting her head all cute. “This is a really good move.”
“Know it is. Not laughing ’cause of that.”
“Then why are you laughing?” She brought her hands to her hips and studied me, looking on the verge of an attitude. Her eyes narrowed. “If you think I need to take my clothes off to win this bet, then you are mistaken, Jamie McCade. I know how you feel about me in this uniform. This is gonna kill you.”
“Legs, hate to tell you this, but you’re wrong, babe. You gotta worry.”
“And why’s that?”
I dropped my arms and sat forward, elbows resting on my thighs. “You start dancin’ on me and I’m touching you,” I promised, watching her blink. “You start dancin’ anywhere in this room and I’m touching you. You don’t gotta strip, babe. I just threw that out there ’cause that’s where I thought this was headed. Telling me you’re makin’ a move and you’re makin’ it in a strip club, figured you’d be taking shit off, but honest to God, it don’t matter. Like I said before, rules are out there. Not in here. Only way I’m keeping my hands to myself is if I’m fuckin’ dead.”
“These are my rules,” Tori countered, bending down to get closer. “And unless you want me to holler out for my new friend with the gold tooth who looks like he eats narcissistic assholes for breakfast, I suggest you follow them, Jamie.”
I chuckled, knowing who she was talking about. Dude made sure I was clear on a few things before letting me back in here.
Something I wasn’t sharing with Legs. “And what are these rules, babe?” I asked.
She straightened and snapped, “I already told you. Sit there and shut up.” Tori put her hand on my shoulder and shoved, pushing me back until I was pressing against the bench again. Then keeping her grip there, she swung her knee up, braced it on the leather, and lowered herself onto my lap, lifting her other knee and boxing me in with it.
I pulled in breath through my nose and curled my hands into fists on the cushion. “And the touching?” I asked, voice strained as I stared at the shape of her tits.
They grew closer as she leaned forward, her hands shifting to hold on behind me, and my gaze snapped up to meet hers when her face got an inch away.
“Beg for it,” she whispered.
My eyes flickered wider. Hers brightened with impending victory.
No shit. Tori was gonna let me touch, but I had to call it. I had to let her win.
I had to fucking beg.
Jesus.
Why’d she have to be so good at this shit?
I steadied my gaze, telling her as my head tilted back, “Think I’ll just enjoy the ride.”

BOOK TOUR: Four Letter Word by J. Daniels



Fate. Hate. Love. Lies.
Which four letter word will change their lives forever?

Four Letter Word by J. Daniels is  NOW AVAILABLE!



B l u r b

Sydney Paige was never so mortified to hear the words "wrong number" in her life. She meant to tell off the guy who broke her best friend's heart, but unleashed her anger on a perfect stranger instead. And now her world is turned upside down by the captivating man who wants to keep her on the line.

Brian Savage is living a life he's quickly come to hate-until Sydney's wild rant has him hooked and hungry for more. Soon the sexy woman on the phone becomes the lover in his bed. But Brian has secrets, and the closer he lets Syd get, the harder it is to shield her from the devastating mistakes of his past . . .


E x c e r p t 

The sun burned across a cloudless sky. I felt the intensity of it bake into the skin of my bare shoulders. 

Waves crashed against the shore, some carrying surfers with them in the distance. A few feet ahead of me, a small child kicked a sand castle and giggled with his father. 

I sat down on a step and slipped my sandals off. 

The sand was warm underneath my feet as I dug my toes into it, staring out at the world in front of me. I rubbed a shell between my fingers as I watched a couple walk hand-in-hand toward the pier. 

They looked happy. I tried to remember the last time Marcus held my hand, or even reached for it. 

My chest burned when I couldn’t conjure up an image in my mind. 
I looked down at the faint line marking my left ring finger. The token I was left with now that I no longer wore my ring. It was subtle, thanks to my naturally pale skin, but to me it stood out like embers glowing in the dark. 

I hated it. I didn’t need a reminder of how I’d failed as a wife. Or how Marcus stopped seeing me as one. 

Maybe I could coat my entire hand in sunblock except for that thin strip. Burn the memory away. 

The idea seemed promising enough to consider.

From my back pocket, my cell beeped with an incoming message. 
I wiped the tear from my cheek as I stood and palmed my phone, expecting to see Tori’s name lit up on my screen. 

I froze on the step, my free hand on the railing as I stared curiously at the message and the number it was sent from. 

Wild Girl. Eaten any innocent men alive today yet? 

My lip twitched, the hint of a smile. 

I sat back down, reading the message a second time as I remembered my conversation with this stranger yesterday. 

My accidental verbal beat-down. 

Jesus. I really let him have it. 

I couldn’t think of the last time I was that embarrassed. 

I told the guy to remove a dildo from his mouth, for Christ sakes. 
All in all, whoever this was seemed to be a good sport about it. He could’ve laid into me and cussed me out. Made me feel even more like a complete shit for dialing the wrong number and not confirming the identity of my intended victim before I tore into him like he owed me money. 

He was more than decent about the whole thing. Easily forgiving. 
And now he was messaging me out of nowhere and striking up conversation. 

Wild. 

He wanted to talk to me. 

Huh. 

I tapped my thumb on the edge of the phone case, then hovered over the letters of my keypad as I stared at the message. 

Did I even want to talk to this guy anymore? Wasn’t this weird? We didn’t know each other. Our encounter was a mistake. A one-time mishap, never to be repeated. 
Right?

Fate. Hate. Love. Lies.
Which four letter word will change their lives forever?

Sydney Paige was never so mortified to hear the words "wrong number" in her life. She meant to tell off the guy who broke her best friend's heart, but unleashed her anger on a perfect stranger instead. And now her world is turned upside down by the captivating man who wants to keep her on the line.

But Brian has secrets, and the closer he lets Syd get, the harder it is to shield her from the devastating mistakes of his past . . . 




“I’m going to give you Wild for the rest of your life and so much of it you won’t have room to feel anything else.”

J. Daniels has the magic power of deliciously satisfying every reader’s craving. If you think she already stole everything that you are in the Alabama Summer and Sweet Addiction Series, watch her steal more of you in this new sensually steamy series. 

She was fucking fantastic. Passionate in her defense. Silver-tongued and ball-busting.
Sydney wanted to escape her current life. With the sudden end of her marriage and a mother that kept piling her mistakes above her head, she just needed a breather…she needed herself back. What I really loved about Syd was the pure goodness of her heart. She was an intelligent woman whose passion and sensuality were simmered down by life. Reviving and boosting up that fervor was a beautiful streak in this story. 

My world was one miserable mistake-shaping second after another, except for the breaks in my misery that belonged to her.

Now Brian, was a freaking sight to behold in this book! I can’t express how obsessed I am with him. His sexiness, his wit and his sense of responsibility was something I’ve read before but there was something so uniquely poignant about how his character was made. He holds a certain personality that is just so…Brian. He owns his character like no other book hero I’ve ever read. 

“I just love you,” I said with a quiet voice, shrugging. “That’s all. Nothing new, it’s just, I’m feeling it on a deeper level right now. You’re hitting my soul. No ones ever hit that.”

Obsessed. Addicted. Completely enamored. Every page of this book was packed with sizzling hot brilliance and complete entertainment. The characters were rich and so refreshing. The chemistry was sizzling, exciting, and heartfelt. The plot was so engaging and might even scratch some feels in your heart. J. Daniels left so completely satisfied and yet still hungry for more.

EXCERPT REVEAL: Four Letter Word by J. Daniels



E X C E R P T

I showered and shaved, slathered on my favorite sweet-smelling body lotion, slid into the dress after deciding on a thong and no bra, thanks to the mesh, and curled and teased my hair, giving it body and height that looked kick-ass paired with my outfit.

I also went to town on my makeup job, keeping everything heavy but the kind of heavy that screamed fierce concertgoer and not back alley hooker.

Dark, smoky eyes, false lashes that flared at the ends, and warm cerise lipstick.

I felt pretty. Really pretty.

The kind of pretty a girl had to commemorate with a selfie, and there was only one person in the entire world I wanted to send that selfie to.

I bit my lip while swiping my phone off the bed and pulling up the camera mode.

I was nervous.

Understandably so. This would be the first time Brian was going to see me.

Like ever.

Heavy stuff right there.

I’d thought about sending him pictures before, but got sidetracked with conversation and his sweet as warmed honey voice I wanted to taste, and all thoughts of pictures would slip my mind. Considering he never asked to see a photo of me didn’t help either.

Since he wasn’t bringing it up, I was hardly thinking about it.

But right now, standing in my bedroom with my makeup done up and my hair looking prettier than it had on prom night, sending Brian a picture of me was suddenly all I could think about.

And before I could think or whisper talk myself out of it, I reversed the camera so I could see myself on the screen, held the device out in front of me and off to the right a bit, pursed my stained lips into a kiss, other hand poised at my chin to blow it, and snapped the picture.

Then I attached it to a text and hit Send.

Feeling WILD.

I wanted to put my phone down. Really I did, especially since I had to snap on my studded cuff bracelet and that required use of both hands, furthermore because Tori had given me a fifteen-minute warning close to fifteen minutes ago, but I couldn’t let the damn thing go.

I couldn’t stop looking at it either.

My stomach was clenched. I was biting my fist and pacing the length of the bed, head down and eyes anxiously focused.

But when the little bubbles floated in teasing intervals on my screen and I knew Brian had seen my photo, that’s when the real panic set in.

Would he like how I looked? Would it be how he had imagined and confessed to imagining countless times late at night to me, or better, would my photo exceed the limits of his imagination and paint a more pleasing image in his mind?

Or would he hate it and me for sending it to him, shattering his dreamed-up spank-bank material and ruining every orgasm I ever gave him?

Shit.

Shit!

Which was it and why the hell was he taking so long to type? Didn’t he know this was killing me?

“Hurry up!” I whispered against the screen.

It started ringing in response to my plea, startling me and nearly slipping out of my hand.

Oh, God, he was calling.
