A new killer has descended on Harbour Bay, and he’s already killed five women…

Bestselling author Megan Bailey is devastated when her young cousin Stacey goes missing. She’s been watching the news and knows what this might mean. Stacey could be the newest victim of Harbour Bay’s newest serial killer. Megan is determined to do something, and enlists the help of her friend, the superintendent of police, Amelia Donovan.

Amelia has her best detective on the case…Dean Matthews.

Dean doesn’t believe in love. It makes men weak and vulnerable, and as a retired soldier, he’s experienced enough heartache to last several lifetimes. He also has difficulty dealing with emotional women. So when he shows up to interview Megan at the request of his boss, he isn’t exactly looking forward to it. Except Megan isn’t what he expected.

Megan is intelligent, witty, and not to mention, beautiful. Dean tries to maintain a professional distance, but with a killer on the loose, he breaks all his rules and gets involved. He offers Megan comfort and promises he might not be able to keep.

The body count continues to rise and Dean’s leads are empty as ever…

When Megan disappears too, Dean knows his time to solve this case is up. He must unravel the twisted web of clues the killer has left behind or risk the one woman who might finally teach him to love again.

Excerpt

A pair of startling green eyes caught his and Dean felt like he’d been kicked in the gut. His heart thumped heavily in his chest as little pin-pricks of awareness washed over him and he found he had trouble breathing. His muscles tensed even as his body hardened and began to throb painfully. He bit back a curse. He’d never had such a reaction to a woman before in his life.

Her gaze flicked between him and Nick as he brought up his I.D. and made the introductions. The woman nodded and stepped back, allowing them to enter. She closed the door firmly and turned to face them, her expression fraught with worry.

“I know who you are. I just got off the phone with Amelia. She told me you’d be coming,” she said, twisting her fingers together anxiously. When she caught him watching, she stuffed her hands into her snug jeans. “I’m Megan Bailey.”

He gave her a slow onceover, unable to help himself. He was curious about this woman and the overwhelming desire he had for her. The entire world seemed to melt away until all that was left was her.

She was beautiful in an understated way with a honey complexion and a small dusting of freckles on the bridge of her nose. Rich mahogany hair had been pulled back into a messy ponytail. She wasn’t overly tall, the top of her head only reaching his shoulders, but she was nicely filled out with curves in all the right places, her breasts high and full beneath her shirt, which clung to her like a second skin revealing her tucked in waist and the flare of her hips. He swallowed hard, his mouth suddenly dry.

As if sensing his perusal, Megan glanced over at him and his knees weakened. Her eyes—those gorgeous emerald pools—pulled at him, so full of torment that his heart ached. Shit, this was crazy and so unlike him.

She blinked and he heard her sharp exhale, her mouth parted, and she looked so irresistible that he was sorely tempted to cross the short distance between them and find out if she tasted as good as she looked. He was at a loss, unable to pull away as she continued to stare at him. Was she feeling as out of control as him?

He forced himself back on track. He was here to work a case, not look for his next bed partner, and while Megan was quite delectable, she would hardly do. She wasn’t the type of woman a man fooled around with unless he had forever in his mind, and Dean Matthews didn’t do forever. No matter what his body was telling him.

He certainly wasn’t sex-starved, although it had been a while since he had hit the sheets with a woman. The case was taking up all his time, and he couldn’t think of anything else even when he had a rare moment alone to sleep. It was disconcerting and he wasn’t sure he liked it, bringing about feelings he’d long ago rejected.

BOOK REVIEW: Four Letter Word by J. Daniels


Title: Four Letter Word
Author: J. Daniels
Series: Dirty Deeds #1
Genre: Contemporary Romance

Amazon US UK AU ● iBooks US UK AUB&N ● KOBO US UK ● AUDIO ● PAPERBACK





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.

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 . . . 




“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. 


BOOK REVIEW: Make Me Believe by Karen Ferry




Title: Make Me Believe
Author: Karen Ferry
Series: Believe #1
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance
Release Date: July 6th, 2016

Amazon ● iBooks ● Nook



Sometimes, a chance meeting is just the push you need in order to break free from the darkness within…

My name is Emma, I’m 23, and I’ve never been kissed. I’m no virgin…But kissing is too intimate, too intense, and I don’t want that – not ever. I like sex, though, and most of my hook-ups don’t seem to mind the no-kissing part.

But then I meet Daniel, who’s such a geek, and definitely not the kind of guy I’d normally take an interest to. He’s the shy, quiet type, but with such a charming smile, and he makes my heart race – something I’ve never experienced before.

Daniel has his own issues to work through, and I know my hardened heart shouldn’t melt when he looks at me. I really shouldn’t be falling for him, either, but somehow, he manages to tear down my walls, and I’m scared…because once he learns my secrets, he’ll want nothing to do with me.

All I know is that Daniel makes me feel things that I have never felt before – but do I dare let down my walls and confide in him?

Will I let him be my first kiss?

This is my story, and I’ll reveal everything in my own sweet time…

Just don’t expect all the hearts-and-flowers stuff.
Life is messy, and mine is no different…

INSPIRED BY TRUE EVENTS

***Due to possible ‘triggers’ and adult situations (yes, there is lots of sex in this book) it is not recommended to persons under the age of 18.



"You consume me every time you’re near… My main focus is on you and I don’t care where we are. You bring out a side of me I never knew existed, and I just want to…claim you in some way.”


Miss Karen Ferry is a new author for me and newness did she totally bring. Make Me Believe has inspired a unique streak of feeling in me that had me completely captivated. Nostalgic, sweet, fun, and really, something that would make you want to pack things and fly to Denmark. 

A time off was what Emma needed. Studying in Denmark gave her that. But while she was hoping to take a time off of her life in England, something definitely turned on, turned hot, and turned more. Emma’s character was quite interesting. Sure, it’s no longer new to meet a strong-willed woman in a book. But her spunk and sweetness was an exciting mix. There was something about her that a man would want to fill and every woman would want to have. 

Now Daniel is something that spiced up my interest in this book. In a world full of alphas, I found unique solace and admiration in the marvelous mix of nerdy and naughty in his character. There’s just something so sexy about a man who knows his books and is sure about his woman.

This book was absolutely captivating! There was a nostalgic, fuzzy feeling that recurs while I was reading it. The plot was generally light but Miss Karen’s fun and indulging prose made it so hard to put down! Emma and Daniel were easy-to-love characters; relatable, real, and interesting. The heat level between them was deliciously flexible. Their relationship’s progress from strangers to friends to lovers was steamily adorable. Make Me Believe was a sweet, sexy, smutty read that will keep readers on their toes and ensure your library-inspired fantasies. ;)

BOOK REVIEW: A Player for a Princess by Tia Louise


Title:A Player for a Princess
Author: Tia Louise
Series: Dirty Players #2
Genre: Contemporary Romance
From the Mediterranean to the Caribbean, the game continues… 
Zelda Wilder is on the run, this time from the ruthless assassins who’ve decided she knows too much to live.
“Playboy Prince” MacCallum Lockwood Tate isn’t about to let the beautiful player who stole his heart get away—if only he could decide whether he wanted to save her or strangle her for her dangerous choices.
After tracking her down to a casino in St. Croix, Cal follows Zee back to Tortola where he intends to keep her safe. One problem: Zelda’s criminal liaisons are one step ahead of her.
Lives are threatened, and all of the players' skills are tested in this plot to capture a killer and save a princess.




'Me, the “playboy prince,” slain by this hustler, this grifter… This woman I love.'


Aaah! This series just keeps getting better! 

Zee Wilder’s biggest mistake was falling in love…with the man whose brother she was supposed to bring down. Torn between wanting to be happy with Cal and the threat of her presence to his family’s safety, she chose to do what she does best--run away. Zee is a first-class badass woman. Her slyness and her strength was something I reveled in while reading this book. 

Cal could not afford to lose Zee. Not when he just had her. He knew the reason why she left now he was going to give her a reason to stay. I have so much love for MacCallum Lockwood Tate. This man loves intensely and insanely. And the way he showed it in this book had my heart screaming all over the place. 

Everything was upped in this book--the heat, the tension, and the suspense. All of my unanswered woes were met here. Every page piqued every ounce of my interest and satisfied them altogether. I could not put it down! It’s certainly a book you’d want to read faster but at the same time wanting it to last.
