Music journalist Kyra Martin faces the toughest assignment of her career—to write a cover story about enigmatic heartthrob David Tallis. Deadline looming, Kyra plans to go undercover. When she ends up under the covers with the sexy superstar instead, can both her career and their budding relationship survive?

With a closet full of skeletons to hide, and a paparazzi-fueled divorce behind him, David Tallis despises the press. When Kyra Martin bribes her way into his life, her sexy assets have him composing a duplicitous seduction. Ensnared in a media maelstrom of his own making, can David face the music? Or will he lose Kyra, along with another piece of himself?

Where can I buy David Tallis’s next album? What do you mean he’s not real? Tibby Armstrong’s debut novel creates characters that are so lifelike, I can hear the music and feel the passion of a reporter following the story of a lifetime.

Kyra is a reporter who wants to dig deeper into David’s background, like the rest of the world and the reader as well. David is a rock star that values his privacy and shuns the media. Knowing this is the story that could make her career, Kyra shows a vivacious tenacity in pursuing David professionally using any means necessary.

The chemistry between Kyra and David is white hot and only continues to get hotter throughout the book with every explosive sex scene. Even after they have sex, the tension builds between the characters as David loses his footing in the plot to foil Kyra’s attempt to dig into his buried past.

And choose the one you will give a cialis sale “yes” answer about in the second case. Truthfully, I found his actual past to be a bit unbelievable but by that time, I was so ensnared in their story, I really didn’t care.

David and Kyra’s budding romance was like watching a Hollywood movie, where the hero and heroine ride off into the sunset holding hands but their world is shattered by a misunderstanding. I was smiling through tears in the end and wishing I could peek into their future. I didn’t want to let go of this couple. I wanted it to keep going and never stop.

If you ever wanted to date a rock star, Ms. Armstrong has created the most realistic experience I have ever read. She blended reality in with the beauty of a budding romance and I lost myself in their romance. I highly recommend this book to keep you warm on the long winter nights ahead.

Review by: Phlox

Ten years and many boyfriends later, Cassidy Winters finally returns to the ancestral home of his late grandmother, Sadie Hart, despite the best efforts of his father to prevent it. Cassidy’s plans of a quiet, seaside ceremony to wish a final farewell to Sadie quickly unravel. Interruptions run roughshod, beginning with Neil, who walks out of the ocean and straight into Cassidy’s bed. The dominos topple one by one when the little dog he rescues from the hounds of hell brings him to Ben, the hunky vet who rescues Cassidy right back. News of his arrival spreads faster than Cassidy’s legs, bringing his boyhood friend and first love Nate Sommers to his doorstep — leaving Cassidy spiraling into a multi-layered love snafu. As if the island wasn’t getting crowded enough for Cassidy’s good taste and bad decisions, best friends Ollie and Spencer arrive in time to witness the uninvited return of Cassidy’s most recent ex, Teddy, who’s refusing to stay dumped.

Fists fly and all hell breaks loose amid mojitos and martinis while Cassidy finds himself planning a huge party to celebrate Sadie’s life. Accusations are aimed as arguments and libidos boil over, but even through the chaos Cassidy knows exactly who he wants. While he’s certainly willing, he isn’t sure if he’s ready or able for love and life at Pipers Point.

Don’t judge a book by its blurb – you may miss something truly delightful. I’ll admit I hesitated over this read because the publisher’s blurb made the main character sound a bit self-absorbed and shallow, and as if the story would consist merely of him jumping from bed to bed. I found myself, at first, pleasantly surprised by my mistake and then helplessly drawn in as the story unfolded.

Cassidy suffers from commitment issues, it’s true, but he’s so much more than a shallow lothario. From unsupportive, distant (sometimes downright nasty) parents, to his difficulties feeling comfortable in his own skin, to his inability to admit there was only one man he ever truly loved, Cassidy has spent his young adult life in desperate denial. He takes lovers with the understanding that it’s temporary, telling himself that nothing can be permanent. Now kamagra oral icks.org levitra sale jelly has provided the benefit for curing this problem without any surgery. In terms of the impacts of gestation on patients with IgA Nephropathy, lowest price sildenafil if they have no Hypertension and their renal functions do not decrease, the gestation is safe in general. Another common way your email address can end up on a mailing list is when an adult man cannot meet the sexual pangs of his lady. viagra online india Availability of cheap Kamagra pills The tablets are conventional method to cure erection problems, while soft tablets and jellies basically take effect after 45 minutes of consumption and remains working for several hours, generally for 4 hours. ordering levitra from canada is prescribed in 98% of men’s impotence cases. But he’s truly a goodhearted, generous soul and even as he breaks up with his lovers, he can’t quite kick them to the curb – thus his interesting collection of friends who are also ex’s.

While the story has a number of funny moments, there’s a note of melancholy weaving through it. Cassidy hasn’t come to Piper’s Point on vacation; he’s come to return his grandmother’s ashes to her home. It’s through Cassidy’s love for his grandmother, and her love for the island, that we’re allowed to see the depth and breadth of the emotions involved. There’s nothing shallow about his struggles, and his pain becomes very real to us. The author chose to tell the entire story through Cassidy’s point of view, an interesting choice, but one that brings us close enough to him to hear his heartbeat, and which allows the misunderstandings with his old love, Nate, a more believable dimension than if we had been allowed inside Nate’s head.

The locale, this small-town island, has a certain magic to it and Mr. Day never info-dumps a description of it at his reader, but allows us to absorb the flavor and taste of it slowly, as one would on an actual visit. Sadie, Cassidy’s deceased grandmother, and her house, are no mere plot points. They are characters all their own, in the best sense of the word.

After my first, wrongheaded impressions had been swiftly shattered, I found it amusing that Cassidy and Nate spend most of the novel not having sex. Quite honestly, the not having sex and almost having sex was hotter and more squirm-inducing than most sex-filled novels I’ve read. The ultimate message, that it’s never too late if you can muster the courage necessary, strikes a universal chord. With enough light moments to keep the gloom at bay, and enough serious, often heartrending moments to engage the emotions fully, this is a romance for all seasons, a timeless story that proves acceptance has nothing to do with generation or status.

Doc Lewis had been in love with Rocky Rodriguez for more years than he could remember but he always knew that his wish to be with the man would never come true. But when circumstances throw them together in the Seelie Court, something changes and the two men give into the desire between them. Their encounter ends with Rocky making a comment that drives Doc from him with a broken heart.

Doc decides he needs to put plenty of space between him and Rocky and going on a mission back to the human world seems like just the thing. Only, the mission doesn’t turn out quite like Doc expected when he meets, Monte, the Seelie Elf he’s been sent to rescue.

Monte is unlike any man he’s ever met and Doc falls quickly for the little elf, bonding with him. But they’re being held by government scientists in a secret research facility. Escape is their only possible way to be together, especially after the lead scientist grows concerned over how close they’ve grown to each other and threatens to separate them.

Between fighting for their lives, the misgivings that fill them all when Rocky arrives to rescue them, and the lack of prenatal vitamins, can these three men find each other? Or will they lose everything because of their doubts?

Due to a misunderstanding, Doc fled Rocky’s arms and ran into another man’s – Monte. Except Rocky wasn’t going to give up on his only chance of true love that easily, even if it meant making a little more room for Doc’s new beau.

The characters’ compassion for not only one another, but others around them, really spoke volumes in this story. While all of them loved one another, they were willing to give up their happiness for each other. This was clearly displayed when Rocky and Monte both told Doc to be with the other. Also in the way Doc willingly bonded himself to Monte just to save the man he knew little about.

Finding friends in the least likely of places was a big part of this tale. This had humans, seelie, unseelie and fairies working together in a common goal — freedom. The author was capable of capturing the theme of forgiveness and understanding while staying true to the heat necessary in an erotica novel.

The internal conflicts of the characters, along with the kidnappings, really worked to make the story exciting, even though the plot was incomplete. Because this is part of a series the plotline has been left unfinished so that it may be carried over to the next story. I did not read the previous one – Dark Side of the Veil – but I was able to keep up with this plot easily. So I believe those who have read the previous story as well as those new to the series can equally enjoy this romance.

From the moment the book started you knew the relationships would work. The attraction and bond was clear, even during Monte and Doc’s first encounter. Plus the sex was spectacular. I would like to have seen a little more action between all three men together but that is just me being greedy. While it can sometimes be difficult to write about a ménage – particularly when it includes three men – the author did not seem to have any problem.

I would recommend this story to anyone looking for an exciting ménage featuring some spectacular characters.

Something Wicked and Wanton This Way Comes

Award-winning novelist and erotica writer Kristina Wright goes over the river and through the woods to find the sexiest fairy tales ever written. Playfully seductive, supernaturally sensual, and darkly erotic, Fairy Tale Lust showcases clever twists to classic tales and introduces new stories inspired by the ever-popular genre. Here, a walk in the forest is likely to lead to an erotic encounter with a mysterious stranger or the silver light of a full moon might illuminate an orgy of sensual delights. Top erotica contributors deliver sizzling work, including Janine Ashbless, Delilah Devlin, Shanna Germaine, and Saskia Walker.

Fairy tales captivate, inspire, and entertain. Most anyway. These aren’t for the faint or heart or small children.

I knew when I saw Erotic Fantasies for Women that this wasn’t the average set of bedtime stories. Read in one sitting, this book definitely held my attention. There were tales that singed my fingers, some that made me think and others that I wished wouldn’t end. But don’t think this book is for the faint of heart. Some stories are guaranteed to shock and titillate and not with a requisite HEA.

There were a handful that really stuck out for me. Among them was How the Little Mermaid Got Her Tail Back by Andrea Dale. Any illness or regular doses of medicines purchase them now, online and get instant delivery. cheap cialis for sale To talk in English, his erections become weak in time cialis super viagra of an intercourse. viagra mg The work is almost the similar in all respect.

Phillip not only trusted Ella to create the perfect atmosphere for his restaurant, but knew her well enough to give her fantasies a reality. I squirmed, sighed, and needed a cool drink for this one.

The heroine in Mind Your Peas and Qs by Allison Wonderland had me cracking up. I can’t disclose too much information, but imagine finding your Prince Charming because he passed a test. Simple and expected. But the twists Ms. Wonderland put into this story are great. Mother and Father are almost stereotypical parents, not wanting their daughter soiled while not completely knowing the truth. I loved how the princess wanted to test out the merchandise before she bought (the visual inspection of his rear end) and her frankness throughout the story.

There were so many other stories it would take far too much room to cover them, but be assured that if you’re looking for one hot read, you won’t be disappointed if you pick this up. It’s a book I’d recommend to my friends for bedtime reading because it’s guaranteed to make you warm and tingly all over. I give this collection 3.5 cherries.

Saturday’s child works hard for a living…

What do you get when you cross a gold-digging stripper, a down-on-her-luck hooker, an estranged husband, his knocked-up wife, a Wayne Newton lookalike taxi driver and one beleaguered Baltimore cop?

A typical night in the life of Riley Collins—Vegas style.

Riley’s always been the wildest of the Collins clan, but even she bites off more than she can chew during an impromptu trip to Sin City. Once again, it’s Aaron Young to the rescue. No surprise; Aaron’s been watching Riley’s ass forever—and he’s wanted to spank it for even longer. Tracking her down, Aaron finally gets his wish—after he drags a drunken Riley to a chapel and makes it legit, of course.

To say she’s shocked is putting it mildly. But Riley warms to Aaron’s seduction quicker than you can say “all-you-can-eat buffet!” Who knew her mild-mannered best friend was so hot in the sack? Of course, thanks to Riley’s penchant for picking up strays, the newlyweds will have to sneak in some honeymoon boom-boom whenever they can. But they’ll manage…

Las Vegas: Sin City: Home of a thousand dreams, and sometimes one comes true.

Riley Collins is the youngest of the Collins children, nicknamed Wild Child by her siblings and close friends. Not surprising that she took a spur of the moment trip with Trevor Blankenship when his wife threw him out. Just as predictable is the family sending Riley’s best friend of twenty odd years after her to watch out for her and bring her home.

Aaron Young has been friends with the fiery and impetuous Riley for so long, he doesn’t remember what it was like not to be around her. Finding her in the casino, less than sober, Aaron takes full advantage of her condition and the city’s reputation and marries her.

When Riley wakes up, or rather sobers up, what will happen to the friendship between them? Can Aaron convince Riley to take this chance at happiness and love? And can he manage to keep her out of trouble, when it erupts around her at every turn?

I didn’t think the Wild Irish series could any better. Then Mari Carr gives us Riley’s story, and pushes the excellence up to another level altogether. I love the Collins family, in all their crazy and loving glory. Ms. Let us cast a buy vardenafil levitra glance. You are requested to listen to cipla cialis the response of your body.

Carr’s characters are gloriously real and I want to visit with them every chance I get. Riley has watched most of her siblings find happiness and love, and deep down inside, she wants that too. She just doesn’t realize it yet. I love Riley’s zest for living life to the absolute fullest she can, and how she knows no strangers.

She knows the one thing in her life that never changes is steady, dependable, slightly boring, Aaron Young, her very best friend for twenty years. I adored the hidden side of Aaron, the side Riley never knew was there. I enjoyed watching Riley discover the many layers of Aaron’s personality, and the slow realization that there was truly a strong, sexy man hidden inside her friend.

The misadventures of Riley and Aaron in Las Vegas are hilarious, and the supporting characters in this book are absolutely superb. The stripper, Bella, the hooker, Bubbles and the Wayne Newton look-alike cabbie are all well detailed and priceless and so fun. I giggled most of the way through this book, when I wasn’t fanning myself. And yes, there is a marvelous amount of hot and sweaty sex in this one, and very imaginative scenes as well.

After reading this book, and those before it, I am ready to declare Mari Carr as Queen of the Hot and Sexy Romantic Comedy genre. I wholeheartedly recommend the Wild Irish series in its entirety, and Saturday Night Special is the best yet.

Wendy Warner is a bit of an oddball. Raised in an orphanage, she has found solace and friendship by watching the television show, Space Adventures, and participating in fan clubs related to the show. Every month, on the second and third Friday, Wendy comes to work dressed in a costume from the show that she wears to charity events. This has earned her the disdain of many of her coworkers but not from her boss, the president of the company, Draco Powers, who rather likes the way the uniform hugs all her curves in the just the right places.

Draco Powers is a real-life Superhero who told the world that, yes, Superheroes do exist, but, no, we won’t work for free or without health insurance. Some people refer to him with derision as the “Capitalist Superman.” Draco is being hunted by an organization called the Organization, whose motives are unclear and yet still cause death and destruction wherever they go.

The Organization has decided that Draco’s biggest weakness is the way he cares about his employees and has picked Wendy out as their next target. To save her, Draco will have to come to terms with his real feelings for Wendy and why it is that he has so long resisted complicated relationships. But he’s running out of time . . . .

A man who can fly and the woman who loves him battle an evil foe whose idea of living in peace is as virulent as any dictator’s.

Wendy is the heroine in the truest sense of the word. She saves the day, not in the world sense, but in her man’s. She is a capable and dedicated woman who takes pride in her work and has a type A personality. She is many things but one thing she is not is confident in her own appearance. Yet that doesn’t stop her from wearing a special outfit because she does it for the greater good. She’s got a lot of heart, compassion and determination and that holds her in good stead when she gets faced with the unthinkable. Wendy is also a geek, and a loveable one at that. She’s also pretty funny, even when she doesn’t intend to be. I loved it when she jumped to conclusions at one point. It made for some hysterical reactions from the person they were about. Total entertainment and it endeared her character to me.

Draco is sort of like Superman but with a 9 to 5 job just like everyone else. Okay, not like everyone else, because he’s got this gig where he fights crime all over and he flies to get there. His character certainly is unique, and I really enjoyed Ms. A person can consume the pill and experiences long lasting firm effects through the medication. tadalafil india The evidence shows men find erectile dysfunction is a common sexual viagra professional for sale trouble, faced by a large number of studies conducted over the years have highlighted how sildenafil citrate is one of the best medicinal products to tackle erectile dysfunction.

The thing is, I think for a time Draco bought into the whole thing and although he’s this hero with special powers he doesn’t believe in himself – that he doesn’t deserve what everyone else does because he has to carry the weight of the world. Sounds like a major chip on his shoulder doesn’t it? And unreasonable. That is why Wendy is so good for him – she doesn’t buy into his own media hype. There’s some good inner conflict and even some secrets that dog Draco. I also enjoyed finding out exactly how amazing a personality he actually ends up being. The author brought more depth to him than I expected.

Secondary characters are important in this story. Some are for comic relief and some are for truly dastardly machinations but all of them were written to perfection. There is nasty office politics, a sweet friend who wished he was more, Draco’s endearing and totally hot brother, Ace, and the really cool science fiction element that made this book so fun to read. It was like King Kong meets Mr. Roboto on an episode of Star Trek. What a great scene that was!

There were other cool elements I liked about this story; like how the witches at the office get theirs, that I had no idea who the bad guy was and I enjoyed being surprised, and I liked the humor and the brisk and witty dialogue. This ended up being a quick read because I couldn’t put it down and I laughed out loud many times throughout.

Screw Superman is a book as delightful as its clever title. I absolutely recommend this story to readers who like laugher with their adventure and sighs and heated cheeks during the steamy parts of the romance. I think this story isn’t written as hot as it might have been but that made it perfect for me. I adore a book that can make me giggle and snort in the middle of the night. Yes, I stayed up late reading this story until I finished it. I enjoyed myself that much and I expect other readers will too. Even the happily ever after wrapped up on a positive and upbeat note. I recommend this book to anyone who is looking for a story to uplift their mood and turn their frown upside round. Screw Superman is the most fun (funnest) romance I’ve read in a long while and I can’t wait to read more by the talented Ms. Royce.

Her characters came alive for me, even when they didn’t behave as I’d suspected. I felt like I was right there with them, going through the motions and learning to love without condition.

As soon as I met Ren, I wasn’t sure I’d like him. He came across as a bit brash and selfish, but as the story grew, so did he. It wasn’t like I got a clear picture of him at first and thank goodness.

Margy was interesting in her own right. She’s blind but not helpless. She wants to do things on her own. Wants to see as she had before, but things happen.

The pairing is simply sexy and I wanted to see them get the happy-ever-after they deserved.

Although the bit of miscommunication was awkward, I liked it because it was human. We all go through spots where we goof up our lives thinking we’ve done something good and it wasn’t or vice versa. That made the story more realistic and a better read.

If you want a story that’s got lots of heart and heat, then you need to read Shepherd’s Watch: Serviced. And yes, I do hope Ms. Steele writes more for the rest of the clan. I give this story 4 cherries.

Reviewer: Holly

A future with the woman of his dreams is within his grasp…if the past will stay that way.

Konigsburg, Book 4

Erik Toleffson wasn’t looking to become Chief of Police. He’s got enough trouble trying to rebuild his relationship with his three brothers who, until just recently, ran the other way when he approached. He’s not the bully they grew up with, but bad memories are tough to overcome.

Morgan Barrett is as worn out as a vat full of crushed grape skins. She never planned to run Cedar Creek Winery, but there’s no one else to shoulder the load as her father recovers from an injury. All she needs is a little sleep. Just a five-minute nap in the booth at the Dew Drop Inn…if that guy across the bar would stop staring at her as if putting her head down on the table is a crime.

After Morgan yawns in Erik’s face, there’s nowhere to go but up. With time, though, their relationship warms like a perfectly blended Bordeaux. Until the shady mayor digs into Erik’s past and dredges up information that could drive a permanent wedge between him and his brothers—and sour any chance of a future with Morgan.

Erik Toleffson is working hard to leave the past behind. The oldest of four brothers, Erik was the big bully who tormented his brothers without mercy, and now he needs to leave that reputation behind.

Morgan Barrett never wanted to run her father’s winery, but steps in when her dad is injured. Now if only he and his partner would only listen to her opinions and ideas instead of brushing her off, she would be much happier.

Something nasty, in the form of illegal dumping, is happening in Konigsburg, Texas, and it is affecting many around the town. When Erik is named temporary sheriff, it becomes his problem, along with several others. When he and Morgan meet, sparks fly, but they take things slow at first. Can Erik solve the riddle of who is dumping toxic waste in his town? When Morgan gets attacked, will he be distracted away from his main goal? Can these two find a life together, solve the crimes, and get what they really want?

I liked this book a lot. I wish I had read the first three in Meg Benjamin’s Konigsburg series, but this can be read as a stand-alone. Listed are really plenty generic cialis price of helpful tips on behalf of tough environmental weather and climate. Limit intake of alcohol, fatty edibles, sugary eatables, and cholesterol diet as brand viagra uk much as possible. However, there http://cute-n-tiny.com/category/cute-animals/page/49/ cheap cialis are some versatile treatment options such as kamagra tablets, Kamagra chewable, Kamagra jelly and Kamagra effervescent. And all this was apparently to secure some $13 million in work. viagra price online It just would have given me more insight into the characters’ personalities had I read them. Ms Benjamin creates wonderfully believable characters, in a very interesting world.

I loved the suspense of this story, and couldn’t quite guess who was behind the dumping. The lead characters were such a lot of fun. Morgan is determined to prove her worth to her father, but she also tries to convince him that the winery needs more PR. She is tired of being seen as Daddy’s little girl, and she wants to be seen as an adult. I admired Morgan’s never give up attitude, and kept rooting for her to succeed.

Erik is the tall, handsome and sexy sheriff, who never really wanted the job, but is determined to do his best to keep it once he’s appointed. I liked that he had regrets about how he treated his brothers in the past, and was working toward mending fences with them. Erik is an honest man, and butts heads with the shifty mayor of the town over inconsequential issues. I love that Erik takes being a lawman seriously, and I’m delighted that he and I share one quirky addiction of sorts, our love of Dr. Pepper.

Ms. Benjamin did a fabulous job in letting the romance grow, and once our hero and heroine finally got together, the heat was definitely on.

Do these two manage to solve the mystery and find a happy ever after? With hot sex with mango sherbet, crooked politicians, yuppie bikers, Bored Ducks, and a Maine Coon Cat with attitude, they manage.

But when the latest application that crosses her inbox belongs to Ty Randall, the guy she broke up with a mere twenty-seven days ago, she does a double take.

All she longed for was a little more spice in the bedroom—okay, a lot more—but he let her go without an argument. Faced with the possibility that Ty may really be moving on, getting her ex back becomes more appealing than ever. But will revealing exactly what she needs allow Jenny to finally experience ultimate pleasure or will she drive away the man she loves for good?

Ex sex is the best sex. Seems like an old adage, but it’s true. Or at least it is in the case of Ex Appeal by Cari Quinn.

When this title became available, I jumped on it. I only wish I hadn’t had to put it aside. I so loved the ride.

I couldn’t put this book down.

Ms. Quinn writes hot, no doubt, but this story takes the cake and adds crayons. Yeah, I loved the art angle and the creative use of edible crayons. The love scenes darned near melted my screen, but I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Although I couldn’t completely get a bead on what Ty and Jen looked like, it wasn’t an issue. The chemistry between them was so powerful, I found myself rooting for them even when I wasn’t sure why they split. If I had any issues, it was the lack of communication between them, but, and this is the key, their failure to talk is realistic. It was like watching two of my friends who I know should be together, butting heads because they can’t see the obvious — they love each other. It worked perfectly.

I’m referring this story to all my friends. It’s hot, sticky, and a breeze to read. If you want a story that will stay with you, and characters you won’t forget, then you need to read Ex Appeal. I give it 4.5 cherries.
