Excerpt

“Excuse me!” I wave a twenty-dollar bill in the air. I may be single and here with my drunk friend who is spewing ex-boyfriend-related vitriol, but at least I’ve got the money to do it. I work for one of the biggest biotech conglomerates in the world, although unfortunately, being the executive assistant of Harley Royce is basically being a glorified secretary to the world’s biggest douchebag. Let’s be honest—in the corporate world, “billionaire” equals “bastard.” The money’s great, but the work sucks. I’m surprised I’m not a bigger drinker after all.

“Hey!” I yell out again, but no dice. This is what I get for wearing work gear to the bar—what twenty-two-year-old do you know decides to rock a black blazer to happy hour? I feel like my mother. Or my grandmother. Or both.

“Let me see if I can help.”

I turn at the sound of the voice but, when our eyes meet, I’m rendered momentarily stunned. Like elephant-dart-to-the-brain stunned.

Hello, gorgeous.

The beefcake bartenders—sure, they’re hot in a conventional, Magic Mike sort of way. But this guy? He’s hot-hot. Universally hot. Ryan Gosling hot.

He’s wearing a dark suit—well-cut, grey wool, probably designer—and his dark-brown hair is neatly cropped, but he’s got a day or so of sexy scruff along his jawline. He looks like he just came in from a board meeting, but that he could have been rebuilding a carburetor yesterday. Put him in coveralls and he’d be your mechanic.

(Your sexy as hell mechanic who you’d want bending you over the hood of your car after he changed the oil…)

“Yo, Bradshaw!”

He calls out at one bartender who’s leaning halfway over the bar with his face an inch away from being buried in a blonde girl’s cleavage. Bradshaw’s head pops up, one eyebrow raised.

“Landon—dude. Sorry, I didn’t see you there.” He sidles down to our end of the bar. “What can I get you?”

Landon gestures to me. “Ladies first.”

I blink at him. The words won’t come. My mouth and lips feel parched and unable to ask for the one thing they want—a drink. Or Landon’s tongue in my mouth. Whichever comes first.

“Hmm.” He presses his index finger to his lips—his full, gorgeous, sensual lips. “You look like a martini drinker.”

Honestly, I’m not—martinis are more of my boss’s kind of cocktail—something with one hundred dollars’ worth of vodka and at least a dozen olives.

“Dirty?”

My eyes fly back up to his and his dark brow is cocked.

“Excuse me?” I manage to say. It’s more like a squeak.

“Dirty?” he repeats. “A dirty martini?”

Oh. Because that was totally what I was thinking when he said that word. Sure.

“Um, yes. Please. Thank you.”

Release Blitz & Review: The Allure of Dean Harper (Allure #2) by R.S. Grey

Title: The Allure of Dean Harper (Allure #2)

Author: R.S. Grey

Release Date: Sept 28, 2015

From: LilyNBlack@Gmail.com
To: JosephineKeller@VogueMagazine.com
Subject: You’re a flippin’ idiot

Good morning my dear, naive friend,

I hope you’re enjoying a breakfast of regret and sorrow.

Why? 

Because you sent me to work for Dean Harper, aka a control freak in a tailor-made suit. Sure he owns the trendiest restaurants in NYC, but c'mon Jo, his ego makes Kanye West look like the Dalai Lama.

He's the type of guy that only hears the word “no” when it's followed by “don’t stop.”

Working for Dean Harper would be like selling my soul to the devil…and before you say anything, I don’t care if the devil has punch-you-in-the-gut brown eyes and an ass to match. My soul isn’t for sale.

Regretfully yours,

Lily

The Allure of Dean Harper is a full-length standalone romance with overlapping characters from The Allure of Julian Lefray. Both books can be read separately. Chronologically, The Allure of Julian Lefray happens first.

I am a lover of books, chocolate, reality TV, black labs, and cold weather. Seriously, if I had it my way I would be curled up on the couch with all of those things...everyday. 

I live in Texas where I spend my free time writing and reading. My favorite authors are Mindy Kaling & Jonathan Safran Foer. I'm a comedy geek and love all things funny. Women like Tina Fey, Amy Poehler, and Mindy Kaling are definitely the biggest inspirations for my writing, though I think my work tends to skew a bit smuttier than theirs.

Facebook | Twitter | Instagram | Goodreads

That's the first book I read by R.S. Grey and I quite enjoyed it. I cannot say that it was my favorite read but that can be because the book I read before that was simply extraordinary. Apart from that, the story is quite intriguing and definitely fun. On top of that, there are few quite steamy scenes that will definitely leave you hot and bothered. The characters are interesting, complex and well developed. The pace of the story is fast and this is definitely a light-hearted read with a lot of humor in it :) And if you are looking for more than that, you just need to meet Dean Harper. You will thank me once you do ;)

Dean Harper is a hotie :D Simply striking with his rough around the edges look and permanent scowl. His punch-you-in-the-gut brown eyes are just out-of-this-world mesmerizing and his unruly dirty blond hair just screams for woman's hands to run through it. But apart from all that hotness, he is also stubborn, stuck in his ways, dominant and pretty much a one-man island. He doesn't allow anyone to get close to him or interfere with his goals in life - to become the richest and most successful man in NY and to do that on his own. 

Well, all that changes when he meets Lily. They are like oil and water and pretty much don't get along at all. Until all that frustrating tension between them turns into sexual one and then all bets are off. They cannot keep their hands off each other but they also cannot stop bickering with each other. And that brings all the fun in the story. Dean and Lily are simply hilarious when they are fighting. And the one thing they don't recognize for quite awhile is that they are so similar to each other. They do have to go through some heartache before they get their act together but the romantic gestures Dean does for Lily are definitely worthy. I wish I had a man like that around me ;)

In a few words, that's definitely a worthy read. It is fun and interesting and Dean is definitely one BBF you want to meet ;) So get your #oneclick finger working and check out this book ;)

 

Cover Reveal: Monster Prick by Kendall Ryan

Over my dead body. 

That's what I told Gracie when she informed me of her plan to pick some random guy she met online to get rid of her pesky virginity. 

If anyone is touching her, it's going to be me. 

I shouldn't even be considering it, but I can't get it out of my head: her, under me, begging me. 

*** 

Arrogant. Cocky. Prick. 

Those are the words I’d use to describe my older brother’s dangerously handsome best friend. 

When he learned of my plan to kick off my white cotton briefs, ditching my good girl persona once and for all by losing my virginity to the first eligible bachelor I could find, he flipped out. Said over his dead body. 

He says if anyone’s going to do it, it’s going to be him. 

I hate that I’m even considering his offer. 

But I am … I sooo am. 

Ever since he suggested it, all I can think about is his cocky smile on those full lips as he’s driving in to me. 

But if we cross that line … will I ever be able to go back? 

MONSTER PRICK, a sexy romantic comedy, is a spin off novella from SCREWED, but can be read as a standalone, as it features a new couple.

Excerpt:

Hudson

“What if I could help you?”

I have no idea what the hell I was thinking. The words just leaped out of my mouth. Listening to Gracie talk about kicking off her granny panties and popping her cherry with some random Internet dick...I guess it drove me temporarily insane.

But there's no taking back the idea now. Gracie sucks in her breath, blinking wide-eyed. “What do you mean?” she asks.

What do I mean? Here I am, sitting next to the world's most beautiful girl—drowning in her eyes, her scent, the gentle puff of her breath on my mouth that begs me to close the distance. I know what I want, but I also know what will happen if I take it. My best friend will rip off my balls and feed them to me. And I'll probably deserve every second.

But sweet Jesus, I'm pretty sure Gracie wants this, too, and that's enough to blow my better judgment to pieces. All I care about right now is making her feel better. In as many ways as possible. And if her slightly quickened breathing, blown pupils, and flushed cheeks are anything to go by...

As an experiment, I dart out the tip of my tongue to wet my lips. Her darkened eyes drop like a magnet yanked them. Yeah, bingo. Having a little black book as thick as the dictionary has its advantages. I know damn well how to tell when a woman wants me.

Excerpt:

"Ethan, a word?" Alex stood.

"Sure." Ethan kissed the top of my head and left the room while Mason started rummaging around the kitchen; pots and pans clanged together, and then he pulled out a giant piece of steak.

"I hope that's not for me." I pointed.

"Protein…" He threw the steak into the pan. "…feeds the blood, which feeds the mate, which, in turn, feeds you."

"You gonna start singing Circle of Life?" I joked.

"Circle of life?" he repeated.

"Lion King?"

"Cassius is king."

I looked helplessly to Stephanie, who was trying to hide her smile behind her hand.

"Have you seriously never watched Lion King?"

"Werewolves are scared of TV," Stephanie said with a soft laugh.

"And sirens are afraid of the dark," he fired back, while she shuddered. "I'm not afraid of the TV. I just don't see the point in sitting in front of a flat box and watching people make fools of themselves."

"He'd rather be the fool." Stephanie nodded and winked in my direction.

"Mason…" I walked over to him and put my head on his shoulder. "How about I eat the steak and we watch Lion King?"

"No."

"Dances with Wolves?"

Stephanie snickered loudly behind her hand.

"Wolves do not dance," Mason growled.

"Oh, we know." Stephanie nodded. "I've seen it once. Don't care to see it again."

"Too much whiskey." Mason kissed the top of my head. "Eat the whole steak, and then we'll talk about King Lion."

"Lion King."

"Same thing."

I sighed helplessly and went to sit at the table while Mason cooked.

Stephanie gave me a side hug. "Eight tomorrow morning, alright?"

"Great."

"Bed." She shrugged. "It's been a long night." Her eyes misted again.

"Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah." Her voice cracked. "Like Alex said, we get emotional. Can't help it."

It felt like she was lying, but I was human, how would I know? I nodded and turned my attention back to Mason, who'd started searing the steak.

"So you cook meat but refuse to eat it?"

"I'm a vegetarian." He smiled. I'd never realized how pointy his teeth were on the sides. Maybe that's how he'd been able to bite into me before Ethan had mated with me.

"Your teeth say otherwise." I pointed. "Flat means vegetarian. Pointy means carnivore."

Mason rolled his eyes. "I didn't say it was natural for me to be a vegetarian."

"Okay… so why?"

He let out a heavy sigh. "Meat made my mate sick… for one reason or another. It gave her headaches. She only ate fruits, vegetables, nuts." He flipped the steak. "So I learned to like other foods."

"And now?"

He went very quiet, his eyes focusing in on the steak. "Now…" His voice was hoarse. "I honor her with my every meal."

My throat clogged with emotion.

The fact that he honored her at all — but with every single meal — killed me. How did he survive that? How did he live every day having known true love? And know he may never experience it again — living forever?

"Don't pity me." Mason let out a gruff growl. "It makes it harder."

"Sorry," I whispered. "So pinecones, huh?"

He laughed. "Yes, well, it's an acquired taste."

"I bet."

My heart picked up speed, and then I smelled him. Ethan entered the room, briskly walking by me, kissing my head. "Steak almost done?"

"I'm a perfectionist." Mason held up his hands. "Let the juices seal."

Ethan scrunched up his nose. "Her blood tastes better than that steak."

"Yes, well, her blood tastes good because she's living. She's living because I feed her."

"Werewolf has a point," I teased. "Besides, if I eat my whole steak, we're going to watch Lion King!"

"Whose king?" Ethan tilted his head. "What lion? Mason's a wolf."

And that's how I ended up spending my evening between a vampire and a werewolf, eating steak and watching a Disney movie while they argued over the animal kingdom, not to mention the lion's choice in song.

It felt right.

Like I'd finally found my place.

My home.

I had no idea that the security I felt was about to get ripped from me, from the very people I'd put my trust in.

My Review:

I am a big fan of Rachel Van Dyken but I've read only a few of her Contemporary Romances so I wasn't exactly sure what to expect of a Paranormal Romance written by her. But, OMFG!!! This book was simply out of this world good. Once I started reading, I simply couldn't put it down. And I know I've said that before for other books, but this one is just in a league of it's own. I really didn't feel how the time by while I was reading. I looked at the clock once and the next thing I know, it's like 5 AM and I just finished the book. I have to say, I thought there is something wrong with my clock because I definitely didn't expect it to be that late (or early) but after checking and re-checking every clock at home, I finally accepted that I spent the night reading (again) and this time not even feeling it. 

The story is simply captivating. It will pull you in and once hooked, you won't be released until you finish the last page. Or probably not even then. I was just left craving more. The main and supporting characters are quite intriguing and complex. They are well developed and feel quite real, even though they are supernatural beings. The story line is quite interesting and different from everything I've read so far as paranormal books, so it makes it worthy reading. And if this doesn't convince you, keep in mind that there are quite a few characters worth drooling after ;)

And Ethan, one of the Elders and a vampire at that, is one of those worth drooling characters. With his slightly long dark hair and mesmerizing blue eyes, he can simply melt you with his gaze. But that's not the only thing that makes him swoon worthy. He has a heart that loves deep and it has been broken in a way that he is still collecting the pieces a 100 years later. But that's when he meets Genesis, and things go out of hand. No matter what they do, they simply can't stay away from each other. And in the end they are willing to give their lives, literally, to save the other one. Their story is painful and heartbreaking with danger creeping around every corner. But together, they manage to survive and find their HEA.

As a bonus to Genesis and Ethan's love story, the scenes a sprinkled with man candies :D There is Alex, who is a siren and is painfully beautiful with his almost white hair and glowing blue eyes. If you are into the more rugged look, the you will definitely fall for Mason, the werewolf. With his shaggy brown hair that hangs past his shoulders, black eyes and attractive but predatory smile, he is exactly the bad boy with a heart of gold you are looking for :) And if that's not enough for you, then there is Cassius, the Dark One. He is the ultimate alpha dominant male, or at least, he sounds like one :) To be honest, I can't wait to read his story. I think it will be quite interesting :) Hopefully it comes out soon :)

So, if I have to summarize, this book is out of this world good. It is intriguing and entertaining with amazing and complex characters. The story is painful and heartbreaking, sprinkled with danger and romance. It is the perfect formula for a page turner and I can guarantee that it won't disappoint. In my opinion this is simply a must read :)
