J&M's Review:</b><br />
<br />
I had the pleasure of receiving an ARC of Clean Slate from Lan LLP. I was so excited to read this just from seeing the cover photo. The protagonist Emelia is beautiful and our Alpha-male Max is swoon worthy- gorgeous! I appreciate how Lan immediately shows us her vision for each one of her characters in all the books she’s written. It makes it so easy for me to dive in to the story with a picture of the characters already in my head. <br />
<br />
Right off the bat, I was impressed! I was super attracted to Emelia Young’s witty personality. She's beautiful, kind, generous, smart and funny. The relationship & banter she has with her family and friends were so relatable to me. I absolutely adored her!<br />
<br />
Maxwell Reid, CEO, he is your typical Alpha-male. Enjoying his uncommitted life, money, and business. That is until he made a promise to his dying mother to open up his heart and offer himself for a worthy cause. After leaving his mother he rear-ended Emelia. She didn’t react as most people would, instead she offered him sympathy when he obviously was in the wrong. She then left without giving a name or number. She made such an impression on Max he couldn’t get her out of his mind for months. <br />
<br />
The passage in the book gives so much meaning to our characters. <br />
“When ever I have a shitty day, wipe it clean, scrap it, and do it all over with a new chalk color and clean slate”. For all their loss and struggles in life and relationship, Emelia and Max did just that. <br />
<br />
This book was fun & makes a good read. Emelia and Max relationship flowed so easily. Their wasn’t much drama that the characters didn’t understand and figured themselves out. As much as I love all the heartbreak and drama, this story gave the easy-going love and relationship which is definitely a good change for me. Now I’m sad that their story has ended, I was hoping for a release of a 2nd & 3rd book. <br />

Writing gives her the freedom to be whatever or wherever she wants to be as her mind takes her on adventures as far as her imagination can reach. When she’s not off on one of her writing journeys, her time is split among her two adorable little girls, her supportive husband, family, friends and an extremely rewarding job of caring for cancer patients.<br />

<br />
What do you do when the guy you’re in love with is seeing someone else?<br />
<br />
That’s the dilemma facing Paige Taylor. All of her life she’s only ever had eyes for the gorgeous Alec Wright, but despite their undeniable chemistry, their timing has always been off. Fast approaching her thirtieth birthday, Paige despairs of ever finding love and a happy ever after. Her best friend Poppie tells her that she can either watch life pass her by, or grab it with both hands. She convinces Paige to throw herself back into the dating pool, or she could be waiting for Alec forever.<br />
<br />
What Paige didn’t expect was the catalogue of dating disasters to follow. A neck brace, jelly fish, stitches, flashing and an encounter with a gorilla were some of the most memorable. Despite some downright hilarious, humiliating and cringe worthy dates, her biological clock is ticking and Paige is determined to keep trying until she finds the one.<br />
<br />
Was Alec Wright always her Mr. Right, or is he still out there waiting to be found?<br />
<br />
Join Paige in her quest to find the ultimate prize. Love.<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<br />
Until We Collide by Charlotte Fallowfield is every romantic comedy readers fantasy. From the beginning through the end I was captured by the humor and characters this book had to offer. Let’s just say I pulled an all nighter. This was one of those page-turning, one more chapter type of books. I found myself laughing out loud more times than I can count. <br />
<br />
Paige Taylor (our protagonist/heroine) is beautiful with curves to match old Hollywood Marilyn Monroe’s, she’s a bit clumsy and full of personality. Paige has been swooning over Alec Wright since she was 17yrs old. Despite making a fool out of herself Paige realized her dreams of dating Alec would never happen. Not only was he 4 years older than her, Alec also had a girlfriend. <br />
<br />
Forward to a year later, Alec broken up with his girlfriend surprised Paige and took her to a ball. They had an amazing night getting to know one another. Alec even claimed Paige has his girlfriend. Everything between them seemed too good to be true and it was. That weekend Paige had an opportunity of a lifetime to Nanny in the Caribbeans for 3 years and with Alec moving to London for his job offer as a photographer their relationship ended before it could even start. <br />
<br />
Over a span of 14 years Alec and Paige find themselves bumping in to one another but were never destined to be with each other. Either one of them would be dating someone else or the timing was not right. It made me antsy to see their love slip through their fingers over and over, the heartbreak!<br />
<br />
Besides her love for Alec, we see Paige move to London after her return from the Caribbean. Her new adventure as an adult and super model career. Paige dating and trying out relationships to get over Alec. Her relationship with her best friend Poppie is worthy of the hashtag #friendshipgoals. Everything about the two of them made me laugh out loud. <br />
<br />
I was so bummed out once the book ended. I was definitely longing for more scenes with Alec and Paige and their love and relationship. <br />
<br />
<b><i>With that being said, this was such a fun read from Charlotte and as an author she never disappoints! You all know how much I adore and enjoy her alter-ego C.J. Fallowfield erotic books/novels.I can never get enough her books! As a reader, book blogger and fan of hers... Thank you for the stories, never stop writing Charlotte!</b></i><br />

<b>Synopsis:</b><br />
The Forever Trilogy Complete Box Set<br />
<br />
A hot romance-suspense novel and an Amazon Kindle US TOP 100 Best Seller.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Book 1: Beginning with Forever</b></u><br />
Sometimes forever finds you…Love isn’t easy to forget, even when you’re determined to never feel it again. It has a way of finding you, resurfacing raw emotions you’ve buried deep inside.<br />
<br />
Carson Bradley is the CEO of Bradley Pharmaceutical Corporation, a powerful and influential multi-billion dollar drug empire. His wealth stretches beyond anyone’s imagination, but it’s of no use to his lonely soul, which has been dormant with the death of his first love to cancer. He strives every day for the sake of his research because he’s determined to eradicate that vile disease forever.<br />
<br />
Lillian Ly is a humble, young medical student whose compassion for people is boundless. Being raised poor by a single parent, she matured quickly and respects the sacrifices her mother has made for her. Lillian’s determination leads her down a stringent five-year path with no room for love.<br />
<br />
When a tropical storm forces their paths to cross at an unlikely place thousands of miles away from home, they both realize love isn’t a matter of choice or determination—love is powerful and irrepressible, especially between two kind-hearted people with a common interest in healing the world.<br />
<br />
Carson is familiar with desolation—fifteen years to be exact. With Lillian by his side, he will never return to that dark place again—even if it means dragging her through his ugly past and into his dangerous world of pharmaceutical rivalries. Lillian’s uncomplicated life will soon be a distant memory as she willingly follows her heart to be with the only man she’s ever loved. Together, they will endure any obstacles to hold on to their forever.<br />
<br />
<b><u>Book 2: Finding Our Forever</b></u><br />
When tragedy strikes, it doesn’t always signal the end. Sometimes it can mean a new beginning…<br />
<br />
Still reeling from the events of the past culminating in her devastating loss, an emotionally scarred Lillian Ly is determined to follow her heart and temporarily forego a bright academic career to keep alive the only thing that matters, being with the man she loves.<br />
<br />
Guilt pours over Carson Bradley like molten lava, but despite his shame, he cannot let her go. She is the flame to his fire, the soul of his heart.<br />
Without Lillian by his side, he is just a body without a live pulse.<br />
<br />
Now with news of two missing researchers, whose survival is based on a drug formula that he is unable to deliver, he fears the kidnappers will stop at nothing to get what they want—ensuring Lillian’s life is also in danger.<br />
<br />
Desperate to obtain the missing drug components and keep Lillian safe, Carson’s unreasonable behavior combined with Lillian’s strong-defensive will – collide – threatening their future.<br />
<br />
Lillian knows she loves him irrevocably, but can she survive in Carson’s volatile world?<br />
<br />
<b><u>Book 3: Ending with Forever</b></u><br />
If your love for someone is greater than your own life, what would you sacrifice to keep her safe? The world and everything you’ve worked all of your life to procure?<br />
<br />
Fatefully for Carson, his rivals have discovered his only weakness—Lillian Ly, the owner of his heart. The power behind his new cancer drug is what they seek and will stop at nothing to acquire it. If necessary, kidnapping and murder are just the means to an end. How desperate would he be if she falls into their greedy hands?<br />
<br />
Carson can no longer shield Lillian from the ugly secrets of his ruthless pharmaceutical world. His dominance and vigilance are what keeps her safe. Can he convince her of this or will her tenacity be her downfall? With all the obstacles in their path, the journey to their happily forever will be a trying one. Will their love get them to the end?<br />

Biker for the Night (For the Night series #6)<br />
By CJ Fallowfield<br />
Published: March 12, 2015<br />
Genre: Erotica, Romance<br />
<br />
<b>Blurb/Synopsis:</b><br />
Eve Myers, a new client, had always craved a bad boy in leathers fantasy, which I was in the perfect position to fulfil. I had a vintage bike of my own, which I often rode to blow off steam and clear my head. Given my last encounter, a night like that was just what was needed, raw, rough and hard. Eve’s fantasy involved a workshop, oil and sweat, then a long ride, in more ways than one, followed by some outdoor night time action in the country. I had the feeling that this was going to be one dirty job, but Logan Steele and dirty were seriously old friends. Well buckle up Eve, because you’re about to have the ride of your life.<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>Immediately I was drawn to the story because of Mia Page and Lexi Clarke. They have been best friends since they were 11 years old and now starting college together at the University. Mia is an 18 year old virgin and Lexi on the other hand does one night stands. Both are scared of having a committed relationship all due to their past. So while attending the Uni and living on their own they both started a pact together. Mia was to lose her V-card to a hot guy with no-strings attached and Lexi was going to try for a real relationship. <br />
<b>Their friendship is very entertaining. They brought much humor to the book whether they were together or texting.</b> <br />
<br />
Now comes Gabe Austin. He’s on the Uni swim team. He’s blonde, with blue eyes, strong jaw, broad muscular shoulders and a body to die for. He’s sexy, confident, arrogant but very charming and has a heart of gold. The loss of his mother when he was young was a past that tortured Gabe. He sleeps with women to fill a void & emptiness. Although he's dated he never loved or put much effort into his relationships. <br />
<br />
So when Gabe set eyes on Mia it was love at first sight. <b>Their relationship was very intense and steamy & they’re so lovable! </b><br />
<br />
<b>This book was all consuming, I was very engrossed in the story. How C.J. wrote this believable story with endearing characters. I just felt myself connecting with them while getting lost in the book. </i></b><br />

<b><u>Interview Q&A</u></b></center><br />
<b>What inspired you to write your first book and how long did it take you to complete it?</b><br />
<i>I always loved reading as a child, and dreamed of one day writing my own book, but life and work got in the way. After 25 years in the Finance industry I was given an amazing opportunity to take over my parents business, which I run from home part time, so suddenly I had all this extra time on my hands and decided that I was going to write that book. I didn’t have a plan of what I was going to write, I knew I wanted to try erotic romance and thought of a way that my characters would meet and Gabe and Mia grew from that point. I wrote my first draft in three weeks, but got cold feet and sat on it for a few months not sure whether it was good enough for someone to pay to read!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Who is your favorite character in this book?</b> <br />
<i>That is a really difficult question. As I’ve already completed the series I’ve written nearly 2,000 pages around the key characters, so all of them hold a special place in my heart. If pushed I would have to say Mia. I love that she’s independent and feisty, but loved her character growth from someone so unwilling to give love and be loved in book one, to her transformation by the finale.</i><br />
<br />
<b>How much of the book is realistic and are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?</b><br />
<i>I would argue that all of the book is realistic, yes the characters probably have more drama in their lives than the average person, but books would be boring without drama to keep them moving. They’ll be a reader somewhere for whom a particular scene resonates. I was criticised by some readers who said the sex was unrealistic, that is wasn’t possible to have sex so many times or to be so turned on. I whole heartedly disagree. The series isn’t my autobiography, I haven’t experienced some of the sexual scenes I’ve written, but in terms of that lust and passion for someone, that not being able to keep your hands off each other in those early years, that is based on experience. I can categorically confirm that it is possible and those readers who’ve argued the point have obviously not been fortunate enough to experience that yet.<br />
<br />
Facets of each of my characters are written from my observations of friends, family and strangers, as I’m sure all writers do. No one character is based on one person, but friends may recognise the odd personality trait as they read!<br />
<br />
One key experience in my life that I deliberately chose to write into the book was Mia’s illness. Without giving anything away for potential new readers, I suffered from the same condition that Mia did, sadly it affected me far worse than it did her. I have a hope that maybe even just one reader will pick up on the symptoms that she’s enduring and think “That’s how I feel” and will go and see their Doctor and be diagnosed in time to prevent the heartache I had to endure at such a young age. That would make me so happy to know that I’ve helped another women. Even happier if it were more than one.<br />
</i><br />
<b>What was the hardest part of writing your book?</b><br />
<i>Ironically writing the book was the easy part. I’m lucky to be a touch typist. On a good day I can get around 14,000 words done, so in ten days I’ve written an above average sized book. I then re-read and tweak. Back when I wrote my debut (New Leaves, No Strings) I was so green, I didn’t have beta readers to test it and give me feedback, I thought I could self edit, I also believed when I pressed that “Submit” button on Amazon, that people would just see it and take a chance on a new author and part with their hard earned cash. I soon realised that I did need an editor and most of all I needed to promote myself more. That was the hard bit. With no financial backing of a big publisher, it’s so hard for an independent author to get known. I never buy a book without reviews, yet less than 1% of my readers review my books, so getting those in is crucial. Thank God for book bloggers like yourselves. You are invaluable to Indie Authors because if you champion our work and give us free publicity to all of your followers. So on behalf of Indie authors around the world, we salute you!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?</b><br />
<i>I don’t think I intentionally wrote my book with a message, and I’m not sure there was a clear one in book one, but looking back at the series as a whole then yes I think there is one. It’s that love is hard. Everybody carries hidden baggage that impacts on their ability to relate to, and love, others. Yet if you love someone hard enough and are prepared to put in the work, then you can overcome any obstacle, just as Gabe and Mia did. I really put them through the ringer from books four to six, but reader feedback on the finale has been that all that angst and drama made the final payoff all the more sweet. So yes, I guess to remember that relationships aren’t always easy, but they can be so rewarding, be that passionate relationships, or even friendships like Mia and Lexi’s.</i><br />
<br />
<b>If you can go back and change anything you have written what would it be & why?</b><br />
<i>I don’t think I would to be honest. Writers can only grow by making the odd mistake, listening to reader feedback and learning from it. My review scores have climbed higher and higher with each book I’ve released so I must be doing something right. I wrote what was in my heart and what felt right to me at the time and I stand by that. Many loved the first book, some hated it and I’ve learned fast to be thick skinned, because no matter what you write, not everyone is going to love it. By changing a book, you risk losing the audience it would have resonated with and picking up other readers that now it will, it’s a pointless exercise in my opinion. Yes, if I’d received really bad reviews and my average ratings were low obviously that would be an indicator that I needed to go back to the drawing board. I’m lucky that this isn’t the case.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What books/authors have influenced your writing?</b><br />
<i>I was so late to the erotic romance party it’s untrue. Probably, like thousands of women around the world, Fifty Shades of Grey was my first dabble in the genre back in December 2012. I then went onto the Crossfire Trilogy and realised this was a genre I really loved. I guess every book I read up until I put fingers to keyboard for New Leaves has had somewhat of an influence on me. I knew I loved alpha males, who doesn’t, but I didn’t enjoy aspects of some books where the hero was emotionally or physically abusive. To me that’s not romantic. I wanted a man who had a hard, dominant controlling nature, but at the core would do anything to for the woman that he loved. That’s how I imagine all of my hero’s, strong on the outside with a slightly soft centre!</i><br />
<br />
<b>If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?</b><br />
<i>I’d have to pick Georgia Le Carre. I contacted her to say how much I’d enjoyed her first book and she emailed me back. When she realised that I was new to this industry she started giving me pointers to help me on areas like getting an editor, changing my initial book cover, marketing myself for free. From there our friendship has grown and because of that selfless generosity she showed me, I now do the same for new authors who approach me. It’s seriously tough among all that competition, but if Indie authors can’t help each other out, it’s very sad. Another author I’ve connected with is Lan LLP, who Georgia put me in contact with and the three of us regularly chat and share interesting information we’ve learned that will help us as authors. What’s so amazing is that while we write in the same genre, there’s no rivalary. We share in each others triumphs proudly and want each other to suceed and I’m so blessed to have such wonderful new friends.<br />
</i><br />
<b>What are your current projects?</b><br />
<i>I’m never happy unless I’m busy! I have two series on the go at the moment, “For the Night” and “31 Days.” My next release, on 17th October, is “Strangers for the Night” which is book one in an eight part series around Logan Steele, a male gigolo and each book features his one night with a client. They are designed as erotic steamy short stand alone reads, but if read in sequence, the reader will also experience Logan’s character development. I’m releasing one of these per month, so far I have three in the bag to take me up to December. I’ve also just sent “31 Days of Winter” to my editor and am working on “31 Days of Summer.” The 31 Days duology are full length romance novels, with my trademark humour and hot detailed erotic scenes, but this time there is more intrigue and mystery. I’m so excited about each project, and ARC reviews on the first three “For the Night” books have been amazing, Logan is going down a tropical hot storm! My beta feedback on 31 Days has been excellent too, so I can’t wait to see what the readers think, though it’s always a nervous few days after a book goes live!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?</b><br />
<i>As I said before I think the steepest learning curve has been to not focus on the odd review where someone didn’t enjoy my work, but to focus on all the positive ones and the daily fan mail and messages of support I’m receiving. You can get a load of really great reviews in a day, but if you get one negative one that’s the one writers hone in on and lose sleep over. I’m toughening up fast. I don’t love some of the really popular best sellers in my genre, so not everyone will love my writing style, but if authors could ask anything of their readers, it would be to write constructive reviews to help us grow. All in all I guess I’m learning to try and focus more on the positive than the negative, a wise mantra for life let alone the world of writing!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have any advice for other new writers?</b><br />
<i>I’m no expert, it’s still less than a year since I started writing, let alone hit that publishing button but I can give you tips that I wish I’d known before I put my debut on Amazon’s shelves. Firstly have someone who can be brutally honest with you read your first draft. Detach from the intial horror of having someone critique your writing baby (something you’ll have to get used to really fast!) and really take the time to consider if their observations have merit. Then re-read your manuscript with those in mind and revise accordingly. Second, get an editor. I cannot stress that enough. I thought I could self edit and my early versions had silly mistakes in which readers soon pick up on. Third try and market yourself in advance. Send out ARC copies to bloggers, build up a fan base before you launch yourself with teasers. Then last, but not least, be proud. Writing a book takes dedication, countless hours of alone time and patience and not everyone has motivation or determination to see it through, let alone the courage to put it out there for the world to review. That’s a serious achievement in itself and if your books are well reviewed, that’s the thing that makes you smile everyday and want to write more! You also have to have fun and love writing, that pretty much goes unstated!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?</b><br />
<i>I’m just in awe of the support I’ve had from readers. I hoped that The Austin Series would be a decent read, with relatable characters, passion, angst, everyday humour and a great payoff at the end, but I’ve been blown away at the ratings and support I’ve received. My fans truly are amazing and have made this last year the best of my life. I wake up every day wanting to write, I get irritated when everyday things stop me from writing. Without their support I wouldn’t be having so much fun! I only hope that I continue to put out work that they receive just as well and I love hearing from them too. So don’t be shy, if you have a question or observation get it touch. While becoming as famous as some of the big erotic romance writers out there one day would be fabulous, it will also be a sad day because I’m sure they don’t have time to read each review like I do, or reply to each email of Facebook message and that I’d miss for sure. So bloggers and readers, I thank you from the bottom of my heart for taking me into yours and helping do something I love.</i><br />

<b>Strangers for the Night (For the Night Series #1)<br />
By C.J. Fallowfield<br />
Release Date: October 17, 2014<br />
Genre: Romance, Erotica</b> (Contains Adult Themes ~ Suitable for 18+ Only)<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Blurb/Synopsis:</b><br />
<br />
My name is Logan Steele. I’m devilishly handsome, seriously ripped, well hung, charismatic and highly sexed. Women just can’t resist me. So when I lost my job in the construction industry and was struggling for cash, I decided to put my assets to good use.<br />
By day I’m a private personal fitness trainer. By night I’m a high class gigolo. <br />
I don’t advertise my sexual services anymore, I have a long client list that come to me through word of mouth. I’m that good I’m booked months in advance. Scores of women pay me extortionately high fees to fulfil their fantasies. And for the most part I do. I have a strict set of rules that I abide by, which are provided in the full contract that you’ll receive along with the booking form, if accepted. I’ve bullet pointed an abridged version below, just so you’re clear before you send me an email request:<br />
Rules my clients must comply with are:<br />
I must see a picture in advance.<br />
I can decline the booking request without explanation.<br />
I can only be booked for the night.<br />
All sexual acts must be consensual.<br />
I will provide you with a report to complete, then I will choose the setting for our meeting based on your scenario.<br />
I am flown first class or by private jet if I am required to work abroad.<br />
In the event of the above, I will provide my dietary requirements in advance.<br />
I will perform a full background check.<br />
I base my variable charge on the scenario being requested.<br />
<br />
“No” rules that I stipulate are:<br />
No bareback.<br />
No minors.<br />
No physical violence.<br />
Nothing illegal.<br />
No form of emotional attachment during or after the event. I am merely performing a sexual or companion service.<br />
No contact after the event, unless it is for a new booking.<br />
<br />
And my absolute number one rule, without exception is:<br />
Full payment up front which, is non- refundable. There is no requirement for a refund clause, I never fail to perform.<br />
<br />
So, now you are aware of my rules for the night and are about to contact me, all that remains to be asked is “Who do you want me to be?”<br />
‘Strangers for the Night’ is Camilla Domville's idea of the perfect fantasy. Meeting a hot guy in a bar and going back to his hotel room for a night of unbridled passion, that’s if they even make it to the hotel room before Logan seduces her. <br />
Downright raunchy, saucy and hot, Logan's sexcapade with Camilla threatens to be his last, as she's set her sights on him and is determined to be his one and only client moving forwards. But Logan's main mantra is “Never get emotionally attached to your client.”<br />
While this works with Camilla, a booking with a future client has him looking forward to it in a way he never has before.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><b>Excerpt:</b></center><br />
‘I’m not one for crowds, Miss Camilla. I’m best in a one to one situation.’ I lifted the corner of my mouth into a smile.<br />
‘One to one? Are you trying to seduce me, Sir?’ she gasped, acting all affronted.<br />
‘There is no trying,’ I countered as I leaned in and placed an elbow on the bar, the other on my knee as I spread my legs in a masculine pose. ‘If I wanted to seduce you I would. I’d rip those tiny green knickers you’re wearing to shreds and impale you on my cock before you had a chance to beg me.’<br />
‘And what makes you think I’d be interested?’ she asked as she uncrossed her legs and parted them slightly.<br />
‘The fact that you’re dying to know just how large I actually am that it’s made your tiny little cunt drip with arousal, every man in this bar can smell it, you’re watering for me, aren’t you? Desperate for a stranger to fuck you and take you to heights you’ve never seen.’ I angled my fingers to trail slowly up the inside of her thigh and her eyes glazed as her breathing quickened. ‘Blow off your party, I’ll show you a far better time that you’ll remember for years to come.’<br />
‘Only if I can blow you off,’ she whimpered as my index finger reached the sodden lace. ‘We’re in a public place,’ she whispered as her eyes went wide when I started to stroke. I smiled, this was the reason I refused scripts for the entire night, I only agreed to use certain words or phrases if that really got them off. There had to be some spontaneity or where was the fun? She’d not been expecting me to rub her clit as she sat at the bar in her father’s hotel.<br />
‘That was a given, Miss Camilla. I’ll want you on your knees with your hands tied behind your back as I fuck your throat and you’ll swallow me with no complaint, I may even save some for that pretty face of yours.’<br />
‘O fuck,’ she groaned as she closed her eyes.<br />
‘Not quite yet, but it can be arranged very shortly if you so desire,’ I advised as I slowly trailed my fingers back down her thighs. I heard her gulp as she opened her eyes and nodded at me. I stood up and fastened the button on my jacket, leaving her eye level with my chest as I held out my hand to help her off the stool. She took a sharp breath in, she’d felt it, the elusive crackle that everyone spoke about when they met their perfect match. Despite the number of women I’d had, that crackle still evaded me. I put my hand in the small of her back and steered her out of the bar, aware that many eyes were on us. ‘You live dangerously,’ I observed as we made our way across the cavernous lobby.<br />
‘For accepting the offer of a stranger?’<br />
‘That, and the fact that you’re brazen enough to do it in this hotel.’ I wasn’t supposed to bring up the fact that I knew who she was. ‘You’re not worried people will think you’re a prostitute, dressed like that?’<br />
‘How dare you!’ she hissed as she glared up at me.<br />
‘A high class prostitute, one I’d happily pay good money to fuck,’ I shrugged. ‘Lucky me to get you for free.’<br />
‘I’m paying you arsehole,’ she snapped, breaking cover, as we stood in front of the lift door and she rummaged for her key.<br />
‘Did you never question why the price was so high?’ I asked as I trailed a finger up and down the inside of her wrist making her swallow again. ‘You’ve never been fucked by a real man Camilla, a man so large he could split you in half with one thrust, who can make you come multiple times in seconds just with his fingers, let alone his tongue and thick cock. I’m so large, I’ll stretch you so wide that you’ll have to resort to dual penetration in your cunt to feel half of what you felt with me when you fuck anyone else. I’ve even made a woman come just by telling her what I was going to do to her. Tell me you’re not dripping down your thighs right now at the thought of it? That your little clit isn’t screaming for me to touch it properly without that lace in the way?’<br />
‘Logan,’ she mewled as she swayed on her feet and dropped the private lift key card. I dropped to one knee next to her and stooped to pick it up, pretending to steady myself by clasping the back of her right leg, taking the opportunity to press my thumb against the little known erogenous zone at the back of her knee. I smiled as I heard her pant as my thumb worked while I picked up the key card with the other hand. I released her leg just before she had to reach out to palm the lift door to keep upright. I placed my hand back on the small of her back as I swiped the card, then leaned closer to her and breathed on her neck, making all of her hair stand on end.<br />
‘I’ll take that as a yes,’ I whispered as the doors opened and I steered her into the far corner, keeping my back to the hidden camera somewhere on the wall behind me. ‘How about we unwrap your surprise right now?’<br />
‘Please,’ she begged.<br />

<b>J&M's Review:</b><br />
<br />
<i>First of all, we applaud C.J. for writing a very enticing mini-series. Strangers for the Night started off with an unforgettable chapter and introducing us to the protagonist Logan Steele. One word, Sexy! <br />
<br />
In the first of this mini-novella. Logan Steele a personal fitness trainer & high class gigolo is hired by Camilla Domville a hotel heiress/socialite. Logan is to seduce Camilla as strangers for her birthday. She has a full list report of scenarios she would like Logan to full-fill during their evening together. Being daddy’s spoiled & only child she is used to getting her ways & after meeting Logan she couldn’t resist him. She has plans to black mail Logan so he will be hers forever. <br />
<br />
<b>Immediately we were drawn to the story it was very compelling! The way C.J. Fallowfield introduces her characters, they are always unforgettable. She’s a very great story-teller & developer. It amazes us how much we have withdrawals of her characters after we finish her books. We are extremely thrilled to know that C.J. has plans to release a book each month in this 8 book mini-novella. Although short, but it’ll be worth it! 5 stars to MS. C.J.!!!<br />

<b>Blurb/Synopsis:</b><br />
<br />
Love is deceptive... Fiery Billie Black thought she knew all she needed to know about her own sexuality, but that was before one night of animalistic passion with the ultra gorgeous and mysterious Jaron Rose. Tall, blond, charming and wealthy, he was the epitome of an Alpha male. In the morning he promised he would call. He didn't. Six months later, just as Billie had finally managed to free herself from the memories of that night, he arrives on the scene again. Suddenly, all the feelings that burned so intensely are reignited and she finds herself becoming quickly entangled with her enigmatic lover. The passion is incredible, unforgettable, unbelievable, but Jaron Rose is not all that he seems—he wears more than one disguise…and he is hiding a big secret. Billie is about to find out what that is… <br />

Excerpt:</b></center><br />
‘First let me tell you what you’re going to be doing tomorrow. At sharp three thirty p.m. you will bend over this table, your elbows and hands and cheek pressed against the glass, your ass in the air barely covered by lace and some transparent material that rips easily. Baby doll nighties and thongs are my favorite at the moment. What you are doing is waiting for me to come and fuck you like the little bitch you are.’<br />
My mouth drops open.<br />
‘The rims of the thong will become soaked very quickly and you will consider using your sweating hands to masturbate to relieve the ache, but you will not. Instead you will keep that position, nipples and cunt tingling, and wait. The high heels you’ll be wearing—I like black— will make your calves cramp, but you will ignore it.’<br />
My pussy clenches like a boxers fists, but I pretend to snort.<br />
He ignores it. ‘At four I will turn up. You will not turn around to look at me or speak to me. No matter how wide your legs are I will have to correct the position by kicking apart your legs and flipping the last bit of covering over your back, so your ass is totally exposed to me. I will roughly rub your panties, find the jellied part, and dig my fingers into it. You will immediately raise your hips higher to try to catch more of my flesh, and moan the way you would if you were begging for it.<br />
‘I’ll tell you to be quiet. That you are not to make a sound until I allow it. I will flick your clit through the material and your body will start bucking and squirming. At that moment I will swat you on the fleshiest part of your buttocks just once, but hard. My fingers might strike your clit. It will make your head spin and you are bound to cry out from the surprise. But if you do I will spank you again. Just to hear you cry out and see the blush spread. And again, until you are panting and dripping onto my hand. Excitement, shame, joy, desire. <br />
‘Then I will back off, make myself a cup of tea and drink it while I stare at your reddened ass, ripe for the picking. Once I have had my tea I will undress. Slowly. You will strain to hear buttons, material scraping my skin, shoes sliding away, socks pulling, zip tearing. I will grasp the reddened, burning skin in my palms and feel its weight in my bare hands.’<br />
I try not to show it but his dick is slowly growing inside me and I am starting to want him to fuck me all over again. <br />
‘Then I will pull the warm red cheeks apart and holding them apart with one hand I will slide my finger into you, first one, then two and eventually three—the way you like it, the way I did the first night we met. You will moan, and shiver and maybe even grunt like an animal. Your head will start to lift off the table—you are about to come. That is the moment I’ll stop and will ask you to touch yourself. You will take your hand off the table and press it between your legs, turning your head to look at me while starting to masturbate. <br />
‘“Do you want my cock in your pussy?” I will ask. “Yes,” you will whisper. I will ask you again. “Yes, yes,” you will plead.<br />
‘And that is when I will ram so hard into you, you will shudder and scream and arch and quiver and come in a screaming rush.’<br />
‘I won’t be in at three thirty p.m. or four p.m. tomorrow,’ I say coldly.<br />

When she is not feeding words into her laptop, she is either curled up in bed with a box of chocolates and a good read, or lost in a long walk in the woods. Especially on moonlit nights. And often with the man of her dreams.<br />

When tragedy strikes it doesn't always signal the end. Sometimes it can mean a new beginning... <br />
<br />
Still reeling from the events of the past culminating in her devastating loss, an emotionally scarred Lillian Ly is determined to follow her heart and temporarily forego a bright academic career to keep alive the only thing that matters, being with the man she loves. <br />
<br />
Guilt pours over Carson Bradley like molten lava, but despite his shame, he cannot let her go. She is the flame to his fire, the soul of his heart. <br />
Without Lillian by his side, he is just a body without a warm pulse. <br />
<br />
Now with news of two missing researchers, whose survival is based on a drug formula that he is unable to deliver, he fears the kidnappers will stop at nothing to get what they want—ensuring Lillian’s life is also in danger. <br />
<br />
Desperate to obtain the missing drug components and keep Lillian safe, Carson's unreasonable behavior combined with Lillian’s strong-defensive will - collide - threatening their future. <br />
<br />
Lillian knows she loves him irrevocably, but can she survive in Carson's volatile world? <br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>We were very excited for the release of the second book to the Forever series by Lan LLP. Finding our Forever started off with instant drama & don’t we love drama! Lily is recovering from her miscarriage and resenting Carson for all her life changes since she met him. While grieving the loss of their unborn child wasn’t enough, Carson has Lily hidden away in his penthouse while having their friends and the public believe that Lily had died in the car accident. <br />
<br />
<b><i>There are a few new characters who are introduced in this book, so many twist and turns. We’re excited to see where things end up and how everyone is related! <br />
<br />
Finding our Forever is well constructed with continuity and unexpected depth. Lan you have us compelled to this amazing story with Lily and Carson! We can not wait for the third installment to your trilogy, and we’re so sad to know it’s the last of Lily and Carson. <br />

That initial sentence was the seed that grew into my flowering romance book, “Beginning with Forever.” With all my heart, I wrote, rewrote, edited, re-edited and now, I’m finally ready to share it with all of you. My one and only aspiration for this book is to have readers embrace my story and characters with their heart. If I can make someone laugh till their gut hurts, hate with vengeance, cry till their eyes dry out, fall in love all over again, drool over the hero or feel any other emotions, than I’ve succeeded my goal.<br />
I’m the sappiest person in the world when it comes to romance. Don’t laugh! I believe in love at first sight, Prince Charming or Mr. Hot Billionaire in my book, and happy endings. In my heart, every women deserves all three, and they will when they lose themselves in my books. Your fantasy can become your reality with just the flip of a page, so come join me.<br />

<center><b>Excerpt:</b></center><b><br />
<br />
<br />
My feet are soundless on the carpet. My throat stings with unshed tears. I want to scream and howl. It will be some kind of a release, but how can I? At this time of the night? I wish I could drive out to some lonely location and scream and scream and scream. But the moment I leave the front door, Brian or one of the men will start trailing me. <br />
I pause at the entrance to our bedroom and stand gazing at Blake. He looks very pale sleeping among shadows. I feel as if I have lost everything. I am so incredibly scared. I need to hear him call out my name in that snarling voice again. Without thinking I drift, like a flower crowned Orphelia, towards him, towards the warmth of his body. At the edge of the bed I look down on him, my eyes exploring the tousled hair, relaxed muscles, and the smooth and gleaming skin. He is so incredibly sexy. But I’m not wet with desire. I want to be wet with desire again. <br />
Carefully, I lift the duvet and crawl onto the bed next to the magnificent body. His scent is sun ripened and heady. I take his soft penis into my mouth. Slowly, gently, I suck it. He tastes delicious. <br />
The juices begin to gather between my legs.<br />
He moans in his sleep, his throat moves, and I increase the pressure of my mouth. The shaft grows thicker and bigger. Blake’s hands come up to hold my shoulders. I don’t look up. I just keep on sucking. His hands grip harder, suddenly they are under my armpits, and pulling me up, and over his body. <br />
‘Let me finish,’ I say, but already I am straddling his hips. <br />
I move my body encouragingly, and my sex, wet and willing, rubs against the short silky hairs on his thighs. He lifts me up silently and holds my body over the head of his cock. I hold on to the shaft and position it over the core of my heat. Slowly, my sex is stretched and fitted around that aroused throbbing shaft. He spreads my thighs even further and flattens them against his hips. The action makes my clit touch bone. He grinds that bone against me. Then tension transfers to my belly, my thighs, my sex. My nerves overload, and soon I am lost in a red mist of forgetfulness. It explodes in my brain.<br />
He holds me by the waist and rolls me under him. I close my eyes and let my body be a vessel for his satisfaction. For a while I am simply a body, a body that is being fucked by another body. I am nothing but a biological reaction. When I feel the first drop of water on my cheek, I think it is Blake’s sweat, but when the next drop splashes onto my forehead, I know. They are tears. And then it is impossible for me to even be a biological reaction. He feels the change in me, and stops moving.<br />
‘I’m sorry,’ he whispers. The words are strange in his mouth. <br />

But Lana still needs answers to many burning questions? The secrets are many and tangled? Will she get the answers she seeks?

Very deliberately he pushes his glass of orange juice to the middle of the table, reaches for the carton of milk and holding it right in front of him, slowly tips it sideways until the milk in it pours onto the table. I watch the puddle grow on the table. At some point well before the carton is empty he stops pouring. I lift my eyes from the spill and look at him. His eyes are expressionless, watchful. The silence stretches.

Was this the thing that has everybody hot up the collar? Do I want to be his little slave? The answer is obvious and immediate. I don’t. Definitely not. But I’ll let it play a little more and see where this little game goes. I turn towards the paper towels.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">‘Not with the paper towel.’ His voice cracks like a whip.</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I turn towards him slowly. Our eyes clash, a look of impatience about his. What does he want me to do? Clean the table with my tongue? The thought is unsexy, off-putting. ‘With what, then?’</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He leans back and folds his arms across his chest. ‘With your sex.’</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">And suddenly I am wet.

You never do more than what you are instructed to do.’</span></div><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; text-align: justify; text-indent: 14.2pt;"><span style="background-color: transparent; color: black; font-family: Arial; font-size: 16px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; text-decoration: none; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">I say nothing.

Carson Bradley, CEO of a powerful, pharmaceutical corporation, will soon discover that his heart hasn’t really been dead for the last fifteen years since his first love passed away. He just hasn’t met Lillian yet. She’s a humble, young medical student whose heart is kind and generous enough to heal the sick as well as his broken heart. When their paths cross at an unlikely place thousands of miles away from home, they both realize that fate has brought them together, and Carson will never let anything or anyone tear them apart. He knows how desolate life is without love and refuses to return to that dark place again.<br />
Lillian enters Carson’s world with the purest intention of loving him with all her heart, but discovers that his volatile world will alter her uncomplicated life indefinitely. Regardless of what obstacles are thrown in their path, Lillian and Carson will endure them all to hold onto their forever from the beginning to the end<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>Lillian Ly is a very humble and compassionate woman. Growing up poor with her mother who worked two jobs and countless hours to take care of her. Lily's main focus in life was always school and academics. After dedicating eighteen academic years of her life Lily's dream came true when she was accepted to St. Croix Medical School.<br />
<br />
Carson Bradley is a 32 year old billionaire. He is the CEO of a well-known pharmaceutical corporation. His heart has been broken after losing his childhood love to cancer and for the last 15 years since he dedicated all his time into his company and research.<br />
<br />
It was during an unfortunate event for Carson when his plane crashed but his fate had brought him to meet Lily. It was love at first sight for both Lily and Carson and their relationship developed pretty quickly. <br />
<br />
<b>For a debut this book was captivating! The protagonists Lillian and Carson's characters were well-written and we just adored them. Lan LLP is such a skilled writer. We appreciated the details and dialogue that she incorporates in her stories. It was so easy to picture every location and scene she put us in. <br />
<br />
We thoroughly enjoyed every minute of Carson and Lily, their relationship was so exciting and just delicious. Luckily for us, we believe in love at first sight as well so the romance was just perfect.<br />
The ending left us with a cliffhanger and now we are just dying to know what journey Lan will be putting us through. We can't wait to get our hands on her next book. </i></b><br />

That initial sentence was the seed that grew into my flowering romance book, “Beginning with Forever.” With all my heart, I wrote, rewrote, edited, re-edited and now, I’m finally ready to share it with all of you. My one and only aspiration for this book is to have readers embrace my story and characters with their heart. If I can make someone laugh till their gut hurts, hate with vengeance, cry till their eyes dry out, fall in love all over again, drool over the hero or feel any other emotions, than I’ve succeeded my goal.<br />
I’m the sappiest person in the world when it comes to romance. Don’t laugh! I believe in love at first sight, Prince Charming or Mr. Hot Billionaire in my book, and happy endings. In my heart, every women deserves all three, and they will when they lose themselves in my books. Your fantasy can become your reality with just the flip of a page, so come join me.<br />

<center><b><u>Interview Q&A</b></u></center><br />
<b>Beginning with Forever ended in a cliffhanger. How many books are you planning for this series? </b><br />
<i>2 Books. Beginning with Forever’s cliffhanger leads to book 2 which is titled, Ending with Forever.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What inspired you to write your first book and how long did it take you to complete it?</b><br />
<i>Beginning with Forever is my first and only book so far. I became an obsessed reader of romance books about 6 years ago. After I read the infamous billionaire series by James and Day and a ton of other amazing writers, I was left craving for a different kind of billionaire—one who is both alpha and kind-hearted. I also wanted my billionaire to have a more tangible personality at times because it shows that he can be vulnerable and sensitive. Carson is my perfect billionaire creation based on what most women, including me, fantasize about.<br />
<br />
It took me 1 year and 6 months to complete Beginning with Forever (4 months to write and the rest were rewrites and edits and re-edits)</i><br />
<br />
<b>Who is your favorite character in this book? </b><br />
<i>My favorite character would have to be Carson. This book started out as Lillian’s book with only her point of view, but after I added Carson into the story, he started to have his own POV. He’s not the typical hard-core billionaire who doesn’t have a sense of humor or can’t reveal his weaknesses to the woman he loves. It also doesn’t hurt that I used David Gandy as my muse when describing his handsome features with the addition of a dimple and hazel eyes.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>How much of the book is realistic and are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?</b><br />
<i>Beginning of Forever is a fiction story of ‘non-fiction’. If you are one of my friends or someone I know there’s a good chance that you will find something in my book that you can relate to or laugh about. Writing is much easier when you can describe a place, personality or thing that you’re familiar with. I chose to focus my story around cancer because it’s something that’s near and dear to my heart. I also included locations that I’ve traveled to like St. Croix, St. Lucia, Boston and Chicago.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What was the hardest part of writing your book?</b><br />
<i>The hardest part about writing this book is finding the time. I’m a busy mom who works four days a week. The second hardest part about writing a romance book is the hot sex scenes. Once you put it out there, everyone, including your friends’ parents will see you in a different light.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?</b><br />
<i>The message that I want everyone to get is cherish the man or woman who makes you happy. When you find that special someone, don’t be afraid to love on them like it’s done in fiction romance books.</i><br />
<br />
<b>If you can go back and change anything you have written what would it be & why?</b><br />
<i>* I would have Lillian play hard to get- make Carson work for his woman :)</i><br />
<br />
<b>What books/authors have influenced your writing?</b><br />
<i>My first favorite love story was Gone with the Wind. Even at a young age, I knew I love reading about billionaires or millionaires back in the days. Nicholas Sparks is probably one of my favorite authors. He can make anyone cry or laugh with any one of his stories. The Notebook is hands down the best love story ever written. </i><br />
<br />
<b>If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?</b><br />
<i>I would choose Sylvia Day. I love her writing style, but I could never be as daring as she is with her sex scenes;) LOL</i><br />
<br />
<b>What are your current projects?</b><br />
<i>My current project is to complete Book 2, Ending with Forever. After this book is completed, I will resume reading my huge list of books to be read. I also plan of writing a short romantic comedy and a children’s book eventually.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?</b><br />
<i>What I’ve learned from my first writing experience. I’ve learned that with anything, practice makes perfect. As sad as I was about not being able to publish my book immediately after I completed it over a year ago, I’m ecstatic that I didn’t. When I compare my manuscript from the first to the 20th or so draft, I can see the progress in my writing skills. </i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have any advice for other new writers?</b><br />
<i>Don’t rush your story- take your time. Readers expect quality work.<br />
If you learn something helpful, share it with your fellow authors. As indie writers, we have to be three roles in one- writer, editor and promoter. Any hint is appreciated by all, and you might even get one or two in return another day.<br />
Believe in yourself and don’t let low reviews discourage you.<br />
Find an author mentor or two—you can find a lot of support through them. They understand what you’re going through even better than your family (must be a writing thing-lop)</i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?</b><br />
<i>To my readers: Thank you for your support and kind words. Your love for my characters and story has made Beginning with Forever come to life for me. I enjoy hearing you share your opinions about my characters like they’re real people. It’s every writer’s dream to have their fans embrace their book and declare it as their favorite or best read of the year.</i><br />

<br />
‘What about BDSM? Are you going to teach me something about that?’<br />
He looks at me over the rim of his glass. ‘Why? Are you interested in being a submissive?’<br />
‘I don’t know. I could be. What is it?’<br />
‘It’s a game.’<br />
‘I like games. Start me off and I’ll tell you if I like it.’<br />
He stops smiling, his eyes change, darken. Very deliberately he positions his drink right in front of him, tips his glass sideways and allows the liquid in it to pour onto the table. I watch the puddle grow on the table. At some point before the glass is empty he stops pouring. I lift my eyes from the spill and look at him. His eyes are expressionless, watchful. The silence stretches. I break it. ‘Well?’ <br />
‘Clean it up,’ he says.<br />
‘What?’<br />
‘I don’t need to repeat myself, do I? It is a punishable offence.’<br />
For a moment I feel confused. Was this the thing that has everybody hot up the collar? Do I want to be his little slave? The answer is obvious and immediate. I don’t. Definitely not. But I’ll let it play a little more and see where this little game goes. I turn towards the paper towels.<br />
‘Not with the paper towel.’ His voice cracks like a whip.<br />
I turn towards him slowly. Our eyes clash, a look of impatience about his. What does he want me to do? Clean the table with my tongue? The thought is unsexy, off-putting. ‘With what then?’<br />
He leans back and folds his arms across his chest. ‘With your sex.’<br />
And suddenly I am wet. The idea is shocking but incredibly, unbelievably erotic. I hook my thumbs into white lace and push them all the way down. I step out of them.<br />
‘Give them to me.’ <br />
I bend down to retrieve them and walk towards him. I look into his eyes as I drop it into his outstretched hand. He puts it into his trouser pocket. <br />
I pull myself onto the table and opening my legs slightly so he can see what I am doing, slowly drag my sex across the spill. Something flashes in his eyes. His drink is cold on my warm skin. When I have pulled myself across the liquid I stop and look to him. <br />
He nods slowly. ‘You,’ he says, and there is a touch of admiration in his voice, ‘are an excellent pupil. You never do more than what you are instructed to do.’<br />
I say nothing. Just hold myself in that position.<br />
‘Now spread your legs,’ he orders.<br />

By K.A. Robinson<br />
Release Date: April 1, 2014<br />
Genre: New Adult<br />
<br />
<br />
Alexandria’s drug-dealing boyfriend, Joel, isn’t exactly the white knight she’s always dreamed of, but she can’t deny the crazy connection they have. She would do anything for him, including helping him sell drugs in order to fit perfectly into his world. <br />
<br />
After catching Alexandria dealing for Joel, instead of turning her into the cops, Alexandria’s mother forces her to move to her grandparents’ farm in West Virginia. Spending the summer in the country, away from Joel, is the last thing Alexandria wants to do. But lucky for her, the sexy farmhand, Landon, who helps out around her grandparents’ place, is a very nice distraction. She tries her best to ignore her attraction to him, especially since she still loves Joel. <br />
<br />
When Joel does the unforgivable, Alexandria turns to her new friend, Landon, for comfort, and it ignites an undeniable spark of attraction between them. Soon, she finds herself caught between two very different men, and the struggles within her heart just might end up breaking Alexandria.<br />

<br />
Part One: Facing My Demons<br />
Drake lost everything the day Chloe walked away from him. Feeling angry and hurt by her abandonment, he dives deeper into his cocaine use. Each day becomes a struggle for him. After his band is picked up by a recording studio in Los Angeles, things go from bad to worse. What happens to a man who has lost everything he ever truly cared about?<br />
<br />
Part Two: Learning to Love Again<br />
When Drake showed up on Chloe’s doorstep, begging for forgiveness, she couldn’t turn him away. To Chloe, loving Drake is like breathing and she couldn’t bring herself to let him go again. <br />
<br />
But what happens next? Follow Chloe and Drake as they learn to forgive and heal together. <br />
<br />
Will Drake’s fame get in the way of their happily ever after? Or is love enough to keep them together? <br />
<br />
The epic conclusion to Drake and Chloe’s story.<br />
<br />
<br />
<center><b><u>*Excerpt* from Tainted</b></u></center><br />
<br />
“Please, Chloe. I love you. I want to spend every second of my life with you from now until the day I die. I can’t live without you,” I pleaded.<br />
This had gone so much better in my head. While I knew she would be angry, I had hoped that I wouldn’t have to resort to groveling to get her to take me back. If I had to though, I would. I would rather die than spend one more day without her.<br />
“I don’t want to get hurt again, Drake,” she whispered. “I can’t take it.”<br />
I grabbed her and pulled her into my arms. She struggled at first, but I held on tight, refusing to let her go.<br />
“I will never hurt you again, Chloe. Never. Let me prove it to you.”<br />
I pressed my lips to hers and kissed her like I was dying, like it was the last kiss we would ever share because it might just be our last. When I let her go, she might slap me and then never speak to me again. If she did, I wanted to remember the feel of her lips against mine for the rest of my life.<br />
Despite what she’d said, her body responded to me instantly. She wrapped her arms around me and kissed me back, showing me just how much she still wanted me. I groaned as her lips parted, and I slipped my tongue inside her mouth, flicking my tongue ring against her tongue in a way that I knew drove her crazy.<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>Tainted is the third installment to the Torn Series. The book is separated into three parts. The first part shows all that was happening with Drake after Chloe had left him on the bus in the second book Twisted. The life he was living and the demons he was facing within himself. Drake was suffering more than Chloe. A long with the heartache, his addiction and career began spiraling out of control. It wasn't until he overdosed that he realized he came so close in to losing every thing he had ever loved in his life. It was time to make it right. <br />
The second part is on Chloe's POV. She is moving to California to be with Drake while he is recording his music album. Drake confesses to Chloe all his demons and they decide to take things slow this time around and to learn how to love and trust one another again. <br />
The third part in the book fast-forwards 7 years into the future. Chloe is about to give birth to their baby and they finally have their happily-ever-after. <br />
<br />
<b>Although, we believe that it could have ended with book 2 it was great to have insight on what was going on with Drake during the months that he and Chloe were apart. It's always fun to see our hero & heroine married and starting a family as well. Book one and two gave us so much excitement, emotion, and drama. Tainted was a great conclusion to all that happens with Chloe and Drake. Always a great read! We enjoyed every situation and drama K.A. Robinson put us through. Oooh, and let's not forget how sexy the cover is. *drools*</i></b><br />

<center><b><u>Interview Q&A</b></u></center><br />
<b>What inspired you to write your first book and how long did it take you to complete it?</b><br />
<i>I've always liked to write. Torn just happened to be the first book that I finished. It took me around 2 months to finish it completely. </i><br />
<br />
<b>Who is your favorite character in this book? </b><br />
<i>I really can't chose just one. They're all my favorite in one way or another. <br />
</i><br />
<b>How much of the book is realistic and are experiences based on someone you know, or events in your own life?</b><br />
<i>A lot of the things that happen in my books are inspired by real life events of either myself or people I'm close to. But, the majority of my writing is fiction.</i><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>What was the hardest part of writing your book?</b><br />
<i>Finishing it. As I get closer to the end of a book, I slow down because I'm not ready for it to end. </i><br />
<br />
<b>Is there a message in your novel that you want readers to grasp?</b><br />
<i>With Tainted, yes. It focuses a lot on drug addiction. I want people to know that they're not alone. There are tons of people out there who are going through the exact same thing. Addiction isn't something to be ashamed of. Speak up and ask for the help you need and deserve. </i><br />
<br />
<b>If you can go back and change anything you have written what would it be & why?</b><br />
<i>I really don't think I would change anything with my books. With every book I write, I get better. I wouldn't change that growth for anything.<br />
</i><br />
<br />
<b>What books/authors have influenced your writing?</b><br />
<i>There are several. I've always been a huge reader and I think that with every book I read, it influences my life in one way or another.</i><br />
<br />
<b>If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?</b><br />
<i>Oh man, that's a tough one. I would probably have to say Tijan.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What are your current projects?</b><br />
<i>I'm currently working on Logan's story from the Torn Series and Forbidden, which is a standalone. I'm also getting ready to send Breaking Alexandria out for editing.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Did you learn anything from writing your book and what was it?</b><br />
<i>The whole writing experience is a learning experience. There are so many aspects to writing. Most people don't realize (I know I didn't) that it's not just writing. It's writing, editing, editing some more, promoting, touring, doing signings.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have any advice for other new writers?</b><br />
<i>If you have a passion for it, don't give up!</i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?</b><br />
<i>I want to thank you guys so much for supporting me. You mean the world to me.</i><br />

Of all the men in the world, Cailin Walker fell in love with the one she cannot have. The one her sister married.<br />
Billionaire Luke Blackwell made the biggest mistake of his life when he married the wrong Walker sister, but that’s one mistake he intends to rectify.<br />
Cailin’s stayed away for the past three years to fight what she feels. <br />
But all it takes is one drunken mistake for passion to ignite. <br />
Now that they’ve tasted the forbidden, there’s no turning back. They’ll either have to fight the passion threatening to consume them or take a chance and risk losing everything. <br />
Losing it all might just be worthy. <br />

<i>To be honest, we didn't expect to like this book as much as we did. It starts off with a billionaire Luke Blackwell who realizes after a few years of marriage that he had married the wrong sister. Cailin Walker the younger sister-in-law had always loved Luke since she first set eyes on him. After a night at his Christmas party Luke ends up running into Cailin in his garage and made the drunken mistake of kissing Cailin. Both their life changed after that one kiss. A year later and they can't seem to shake the feelings that had developed. When Cailin is invited by her sister to attend their annual Christmas party again things become more heated between the two…. <br />
<br />
<b>This was a fun read by Diana Bocco. We could have given this book a 5 stars had it been longer with more emotions between our heroine & hero, possibly more love scenes, and more drama between Cailin, Luke, and her sister Erika. It all went down to quickly and the compromise between them were all too easy, unrealistic. With that all being said, it was truly a good story. Looking forward to what Diana has in stores for us in the next Forbidden Lust installment. We're hoping the story continues with Luke and Cailin.</i></b><br />

<br />
<br />
<br />
Beyond the seductive power of immense wealth…dark secrets<br />
<br />
Devastatingly handsome billionaire, Blake Law Barrington was Lana Blooms first and only love. From the moment they touched his power was overwhelming. Their arrangement quickly developed into a passionate romance that captivated her heart and took her on an incredible sexual journey she never wanted to end.<br />
The future together looked bright until Lana made a terrible mistake. So, she did the only thing she could... she ran.<br />
<br />
Away from her incredible life, away from the man of her dreams, but she should have known a man such as Blake Law Barrington was impossible to escape. Now, he’s back in her life and determined that she should taste the bitterness of his pain.<br />
<br />
Shocked at how rough the sex has become and humiliated that she is actually participating so willingly in her punishment, she despairs if she will ever feel the warmth of his touch—the solidity of his trust again? And even if she can win his trust, loyalties are yet to be decided, and secrets to be revealed—secrets that will test them both to their limits.<br />
<br />
Will Lana be able to tear down the walls that surround Blake’s heart, and break him free of the brutal power of immense wealth?<br />
<br />
Can Blake hold on to Lana’s heart when she discovers the enormity of the dark secrets that inhabit the Barrington family?<br />
<br />
Lana has always believed that love conquers all. She is about to test that belief…<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>We had the privilege of reading Forty 2 Days and we're just speechless. There are so many emotions running through our minds. <br />
<br />
We took a journey with this series from it's first book The Billionaire Banker. The ending of the first book left us with a cliffhanger it was so emotional, raw, and painful. We have been anxiously waiting for the release and copy of the second book and how Georgia did not disappoint. <br />
<br />
We devoured this book in a few hours. The story is so intense! The characters Blake Barrington and Lana Bloom with their electrifying chemistry get so far under your skin that you can't stand to be away from them for any length of time.<br />
<br />
The closer we realize we were towards the end of book two we were sadden that the end was approaching. We wanted to continue read and live in this fantasy with Blake and Lana. <br />
<br />
<b>Forty 2 Days is downright alluring! The characters are as captivating as ever, the story-line and its ending is brilliant! Georgia Le Carre thanks you so much for writing such an astonishing and heartfelt addicting series. It's definitely in our top list of favorite books. We are highly anticipating your next installment to this series!</i></b><br />

<center><b>*Excerpt*</b></center><br />
<br />
<br />
‘Dishonest little Lana,’ he murmurs, his breath hot against my skin. He runs his hands down the smoothness of my neck into the collar of my blouse. <br />
I begin to tremble. He watches his own fingers slip a button out of its hole and then another. He spreads apart the joined material so my throat, chest and the lacy tops of my bra are exposed. His cold furious eyes return to mine. The breaths that escape my lips are suddenly shallow and quick. He smiles possessively. He knows the effect he has on me. <br />
‘You were by far more when you squeezed into that little orange dress and your fuck-me shoes, and went looking for money. Look at you now; you’re flapping around inside a man’s jacket. Two hundred thousand and you don’t even buy yourself a nice suit.’ <br />
He tuts. ‘And this…’ He raises his hand to my hair. ‘This ugly bun. What were you thinking of?’ he asks softly, as he plucks the pins out of my hair and drops them on the blue carpet. Bit by bit my hair falls around my shoulders. Without moving his feet he reaches back to a box of tissues on the table. Takes one and starts wiping away my lipstick. Meticulously. From the outside in. He throws the stained tissue on the ground. <br />
‘That’s better,’ he pronounces. <br />
I stare wordlessly up at him. He looks as if he wants to devour me. All the time we have been apart is wiped away. It is like we have never been away from each other. This is the man I belong to heart and soul. Without him I have been an empty shell going through the motions.<br />
‘Lick your lips,’ he orders. <br />
‘What?’ I am horrified by the cold command, and yet electrified by the sexual heat his order arouses in me. My nerves scream. <br />
His jaw hardens; his eyes are steely. ‘You heard me.’<br />
The tension in his body communicates itself to me. It simmers between us. Desire ripples through me. My thighs clench tight with excitement and my heart flutters like a crazy thing. This is how he is in my recurring fantasies. Demanding, possessive, taking, raging with sexual need. <br />
I lick my lips slowly.<br />
He eyes the journey my tongue undertakes avidly. ‘That’s more like it. That’s the mercenary bitch I know.’<br />
One moment he is standing there cold and insulting, and the next he has thrust a rough hand into my hair and pulled my head back. I gasp with shock, my eyes wide, his dark. Like a desert storm he descends on my parted mouth. There is no time even to pull one’s cloak about oneself. So sudden. So unexpected. He tastes wild, the way the first drops of rain in the desert taste. Full of minerals. Bringing life to all it touches. <br />
He kisses me, as he has never done. Roughly, painfully, violently, purposely bruising my lips, his mouth so savage that I utter a strangled, soundless cry. The change, the extent of his anger, is impossible to comprehend. He is different. There is no longing. <br />
Only an intense desire to hurt and have his revenge. This is not the same man. My actions have unleashed something uncontrollable. Something that wants to hurt me. Alarm bells go off in my head. It occurs to my fevered brain that he is ravenous, starving. Then for some strange reason an image of him eating thin, almost transparent slices of cheese on biscuits flashes into my mind. How civilized he was. Then. Before I betrayed him.<br />
I taste the fury in his kiss: blood. <br />
And my mind screams—this is abuse. A moan gets caught in my throat, struggles vainly, and then escapes. My hands reach up to push him away, but my palms meet the stone wall of his chest, and as if with minds of their own, push aside the lapels of his jacket and grip his shirt. I know what once lived beneath the shirt and I want it. I have always wanted this man. As if my hands splayed across his chest have communicated my total submission, the kiss changes. His tongue gentles, but demands more surrender. <br />
The fingers grasping my hair hurt my scalp. I feel the pain vaguely, but more than that I feel myself begin to drown in that vortex of sexual desire. The violent, throbbing need between my legs finds its way into my veins and flesh. Every cell in me wants him inside me. I am on fire. One year of waiting has made me hungry for him. I want him. I want him thrusting that enormous dick of his deep inside me. For a year I have dreamed of him inside me, filling me. I know how good he can make me feel. My body tries to burrow closer to him, but I cannot get closer; his grip on my hair is relentless. Desperately I push my hips towards him towards what I know will be delicious hardness. <br />
As if that is some silent signal he puts me casually away from me. And I am thrust back in a shitty back office in Kilburn High Street. What the fuck am I doing? He casually props himself against the desk, folds his arms across his chest, and looks at me calmly. <br />
I cannot return the insult. I am a mess. I stand there frustrated beyond belief, breathing hard, the blood pounding like an African drum in my head. My knickers are wet and between my legs I ache and pulse for him. With every weak and trembling part of me I want him to finish what he started. I want him so bad it is shocking. I clench my hands at my sides and try to get myself under control. I look at him, how cool and collected he is, as he watches me struggle to regain some measure of composure. <br />
Then he smiles. Oh! Cocky. He shouldn’t have done that. I feel maddened by the taunting smile. How dare he? He just wanted to humiliate me. <br />
And then I see it. Not so fast, Mr. Blake Law Barrington.<br />
I take two steps forward, reach my hand out and put a finger on that madly beating pulse in his throat. It drums into my skin. The frantic beat is carried away by my blood up into my arm, my heart and into my brain. Years later I will remember this moment when we are connected by his beating pulse. We never break eye contact. His eyes darken. Now he knows that I know—my need may be obvious and easy to exploit, but he is not as unaffected as he pretends to be. He was testing his own limits of control, but it hasn’t been as easy as he expected. <br />
‘Is it sex when I want to see you come apart?’ he asks bitterly.<br />
A breath dies in my chest. I take my finger away from his throat. ‘What do you want, Blake?’<br />
‘I want you to finish your contract.’<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />

He's addicted to booze. She's addicted to sex...staying sober is only half the battle. No. More. Sex. Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles.

So when someone threatens to expose Lily’s secret to her family and the public, he promises that he’ll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety. They will torment Lily until Lo breaks. And his worst fear isn’t relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it.

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>We are blown away by how great this series is! Book two in the Addicted series is written in dual POV following Lo & Lilly. Krista & Becca Ritchie gives us a whole new twist on romance reads. The story-line is very different, unlike anything we have ever read, it is very deep and touches on some very serious topics. This story between two very broken souls Loren (Lo) Hale & Lily Calloway who are both struggling with their addictions. Lo a recovering alcoholic and Lily a struggling sex addict.<br />
<br />
Addicted to You starts with Lily seeking help through her sister Rose, her friends, Conner & Ryke, and her sex therapist. Lo finishes his time in rehab and returns home, he moves in with Lily and her sister in their new place.<br />
<br />
Lily & Lo are dealing with things like lust, love, self-respect, self-love, addictions & blackmail. The struggle to overcome ones demons all while trying to seek a path to redemption and a healthy relationship.<br />
<br />
<b>This book was simply amazing! Krista and Becca did an outstanding job writing a book with such unique characters & story-line. The authors are extremely versatile and dimensional with their writing & each book is a separate masterpiece as they continue to raise the bar with each new release. We are looking forward to Connor & Rose's story and more so with Ryke & Daisy. We can't wait to see what the authors have in store for us, the anticipation!!! </i></b><br />

<br />
<br />
After finding herself out of luck and out of love, Patricia Jacobs has written off the male species. No one but her father has ever given her the love and devotion she knows she deserves, and she’s sick and tired of it. Until she collides, literally, with a man whose devastating smile and seductive charm that should be considered illegal, destroys her plans. He’s everything she’s ever dreamed of in a man: handsome, intelligent, successful, they share a love of cars and best of all; he looks at her like she’s his light in the dark. What more could a girl ask for? Jonathon Bradshaw, destroyed by a past that has haunted his every waking moment for the last five years, isn’t looking for a serious relationship, until he meets Patricia. Sweet, saucy and as hot as the summer is long, Jon can’t deny the draw he has toward her. For the first time, he has hope. Determined to shake the ghosts of his past, Jon focuses on forging a future with Patti, but he’s always been a master at standing in his own way. When Jon’s past refuses to be forgotten, will Patti be able to live with the truth about the man who’s stolen her heart?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Excerpt:<br />
<i>The bad thing about summer was how long the sun took to set. Patti didn’t realize how much time had passed until she heard the heavy thud of a car door nearby. She wasn’t given much time to gather her thoughts before she heard the voice that made her tingle all the way down to her toes. <br />
“So you drive a muscle car and you like to get dirty.” His voice was thick with appreciation and held a touch of laughter. <br />
Patti used her feet to propel herself from under the car. Once she was clear, she found herself looking up into Jon’s incredible blue eyes. <br />
“Damn, and I thought you were stunning before.” His eyes skimmed down her body, and Patti became acutely aware of how much skin she was showing. She snapped her legs closed. <br />
“What time is it?” she asked from her prone position. <br />
Jon held out his hand and she took it. Grasping it tightly, he pulled her to her feet. “It’s nearly eight. I’m usually late for everything, but I found myself unable to wait any longer.” He slid his gaze over her again, and Patti felt her cheeks warm. Here he was confessing that he couldn’t wait to see her, and she had lost track of time over a car. <br />
He hadn’t let go of her hand, she realized. Gently slipping her fingers free of his, Patti stepped back. Standing there in her filthy tank top and shorts, grease and oil smudging her exposed skin, while he stood before her looking completely edible in a pair of fitted black slacks and a white button down dress shirt, she couldn’t help feeling self-conscious. <br />
“I’m sorry I’m not ready. I got distracted.” Patti jerked her thumb over her shoulder at the car. <br />
Jon followed with his eyes and nodded. “That’s understandable; having something that beautiful at your disposal is bound to cause some distraction.” <br />
When Patti looked up at him, she found his intense eyes focused on her and she got the distinct impression that he wasn’t referring to the car. <br />
“I can be ready in fifteen minutes, if you still want to go out,” she stammered. <br />
A slow, wolfish smile spread across Jon’s face as he took her in again. “If you look this good dirty...” He cleared his throat and shook his head. “Yeah, I still want to go out, but you’d better make it ten because anything beyond that and I can’t promise I’ll still be a gentleman.”</i> </b><br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<br />
<i>Surrender to love is J.C. Valentine's third book to her Night Calls series.<br />
<br />
For Patricia Jacobs it seems as though her world is quickly crashing down on her. After walking into her boyfriends home and finding him in bed with a hot woman, she gets fired from her job as an accountant of 5 years. Patti feels like her livelihood has been yanked out from under her. She was a workaholic and she loved her job. <br />
<br />
After receiving a call from her best friends Jules they decided to gather their closes girlfriends and go for a night out in town for dinner and drinks. While dancing and enjoying the night out with her friends Patti meets Jonathon Bradshaw at the bar. Jon is handsome with aqua shade eyes framed with thick dark lashes and short black hair. He's also rich, & the player-type. <br />
<br />
After an unfortunate run-in where Patti's car accidentally gets rear-ended by Jon, they decided to go on a date. It was instant chemistry that they both were trying to avoid. <br />
<b><br />
Although there wasn't much of that "wow" factor in the book… the relationship and story behind the hero and heroine was interesting. The characters are very likable & like the first two books the story was enjoyable as well. Definitely a great book to pick up if you're looking for a easy, fun, and fast read. </i></b><br />

Valentine is the alter-ego of Brandi Salazar, whose enjoyment of erotic tales of romance spurred her to branch out and create her own. Brandi Salazar lives in the Northwest with her husband, their wild children, and far too many pets. As a university student, she studies literature, which goes well with her dream to become an editor. Brandi entertains a number of hobbies including reading and photography, but her first love is writing fiction-in all its forms.<br />

<b>Seven days. Two complete strangers. One chance to fulfill a lifetime of fantasies.</b><br />
Avery Graham, mother of two, and wife to a philandering husband, felt that life was a stand still. Somewhere along the way, she had lost her sense of self along with her pride and confidence. A weekend getaway with the girls was exactly what she needed. Or so she thought.<br />
Jeremy Elliott made it his mission to live with no strings attached. He worked hard and played harder. Set in his ways, he knew what he wanted out of life and in the women he chose. He was in control in every aspect in his life. From work to sex. He was a force to be reckoned with.<br />
<br />
<b>When all is said and done, will they fold or will they call the other’s bluff?</b><br />
Avery knew the moment she laid eyes on him that her life would be forever changed. Jeremy never saw it coming. The undeniable, heart stopping attraction. He knew her story, yet he still couldn’t walk away. She knew of his womanizing ways, and tried fight the force that pulled her to him. Working to convince Avery that he’s exactly what she needs to take her mind off of things, he realized he couldn’t keep his thoughts from wandering back to her.<br />
<br />
A chance encounter led her to him. A calculating move put him in her path. When bodies, minds, and souls collide, the stakes are even higher. The dice have been rolled. Chips have been laid out. It’s a risk Avery was more than willing to take. Jeremy made her an offer she couldn’t refuse. One that would give him complete and absolute control. One that would take her to unimaginable heights.<br />

<br />
<br />
When Lana Bloom learns the devastating news that her mother is dying, she is faced with a terrible dilemma. The one thing that can save her is the one thing she does not have. For young and innocent Lana, the unthinkable becomes her only choice.<br />
But when she walks through the door of that exclusive restaurant she has no idea of the seismic shift her life is about to take, for the highest bidder will not be the rich man she has accompanied. Fate drops her at the feet of the deeply mysterious and dazzlingly gorgeous American banker, Blake Law Barrington. Throbbing with raw masculinity and arrogance, this is a man who owns all that he pursues.<br />
And now he wants her.<br />
Lana cannot deny she is both intrigued and intoxicated by the world Blake inhabits and the smouldering passion he stirs in her body, but she is also fearful for this man is addictive, and right now she is very vulnerable. She knows she should focus only on the arrangement, but how can she…when he has opened a door that cannot be closed?<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<b><i>Excerpt</b></i><br />
Rupert directs his astonished, vicious eyes at Lana’s. ‘You offered yourself to him too?’<br />
Lana stares mutely at Rupert. His eyes move derisively, hatefully over her. She feels herself cringe. <br />
‘Does he know how much you charge?’<br />
‘Do you doubt I will be able to afford her?’ asks Blake.<br />
Rupert shrivels the way a leech that has had salt thrown on it does. ‘This is why you invited me here, isn’t it?’ <br />
‘Yes.’<br />
‘What a joke!’ he taunts, but his jibe lacks any real bite. ‘The great Barrington can’t find his own whore. He has to steal mine.’<br />
‘I didn’t steal her,’ Blake notes reasonably. ‘I just offered to pay more.’<br />
Rupert’s eyes bulge, bug-like. ‘She’s just a cheap bloody tart. I’ve just finger-fucked her out there,’ he taunts maliciously, jerking his dandruff-laden head in the direction of the door. <br />
Lana feels Blake’s hand tighten around her waist. ‘Consider it an unearned freebie, then,’ he says quietly, but there is warning in the calm words. A warning that is not lost on Rupert. The air becomes tight with tension. Lana looks from one man to the other. It is like watching two lions fighting for supremacy. But her body knows which lion she wants to win this fight.<br />
Rupert shrugs. He knows he’d be a fool to go against a Barrington. He has much to lose. ‘If you think I’m going to fight over her you’re mistaken. Have her.’<br />
He turns on his heel and leaves.<br />
Blake lets go of Lana. She realizes she is trembling. She leans against the desk, hating herself, but unable to stop—nothing is more important than the money—she asks, ‘Did you mean it about the money?’<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<br />
<i>We're actually very excited that we had the chance to read this romance novel and now we get to share it with our followers. <br />
<br />
The Billionaire Banker starts off with twenty year old Lana Bloom at a fancy high-end restaurant. She is ready to make a proposal to her boss an old and rich man, he is her last hope and only hope. With both her savings and credit cards maxed-out, Lana needs £50,000. Her mother is dying of cancer and she needs the money so she can fly her mother to the U.S. to receive treatment. <br />
<br />
While making the proposal to Rupert, up walks the sexy mysterious guy that was eyeing her earlier across the restaurant. His name is Blake Barrington a 29 year old Banker about 6ft 2 with broad shoulders, a deep tan, smoldering stormy-grey eyes, a strong jaw, and sexy bed-head hair. He's hot, savage, fierce and looks like a brooding Abercrombie & Fitch model.<br />
<br />
Blake introduces himself and invites the two to Lord Jakie's. Its a party thrown by the crème de la crème of high society. When they arrive Rupert sexually assaulted Lana before she went stumbling into the restroom humiliated, nauseated, and cried. <br />
<br />
When Lana exited the restroom Blake was lounging casually against the wall of the corridor waiting for her. He leads her into the library and asks her what Rupert will get for his money and what she was offering the old man? Blake makes a proposition with Lana for double the pay and 3 months worth of her time. <br />
<br />
Blake moved Lana into an expensive apartment where she is to live while she is seeing him. Their first night together Lana meets him at a private club where they have dinner and later they return back to the apartment. Blake gives her a box to change in to. Inside the box was some lace and silk. She puts on the Lingerie that was all-white with blue ribbons on the suspenders. When she returned to the bedroom Blake was shirtless and propped against the pillows on the bed. She stripped away the little sheer dress she had on for Blake. He couldn't handle it he had to have her only to find out in that moment after entering her that she was a virgin. <br />
<br />
Their love story unfolds and reminds us a lot of Pretty Woman. Although, their love is base on an agreement, both Lana and Blake started falling for one another more than they had ever thought they would. When they finally realize things are too late. <br />
<br />
<b>This story was very addicting for us. Yes, we know the plot is very common, a billionaire falling in love with a normal woman. But that is not the reason why we admire the story. Like many great books we read, Georgia Le Carre did a wonderful job at entertaining us with such a lovable heroine and a drool-worthy hero. The book was well-written from beginning to the end & we were left with the biggest cliff-hanger! We are dying to know how things will go with Lana and Blake in their next book. We're so excited and we definitely don't want to wait till next January to read the next installment to The Billionaire Banker!</b><br />

By Ember Shane<br />
Published: September 9, 2013<br />
Genre: New Adult, Speculative, Paranormal Romance<br />
<br />
<br />
They say what doesn't kill you makes you stronger. But sometimes, under extreme circumstances, it's exactly that which kills you that makes you stronger. And faster. And a member to a new, elite race of zombies.<br />
<br />
Armed with a current address for his biological grandfather and a slightly unusual, yet loyal best friend, Doyle Hawthorne sets out to discover the truth about his past. But answers don't come easily, and the closer Doyle arrives to his destination, the more confusing things become. Disturbing alterations to his physical appearance as well as to his personality flicker on and off as Doyle searches for a logical explanation.<br />
<br />
Despite the increasing severity of these uncontrolled flare-ups, Doyle is determined to keep his first date with Addy - a beautiful, young woman he has met upon his arrival into town. After narrowly subduing his raging impulses, Doyle quickly decides not even death itself can keep him from her. Unfortunately, he is about to test that theory.<br />
<br />
Once initiated, nothing can alter the process of shading - the term given to the three distinct phases of becoming a higher classification of zombie, commonly referred to as "royals". Doyle must learn to control his tendency toward violence as well as his newfound royal powers if there is any chance of protecting those he loves from a mad scientist, the government, the colony of royals, and most importantly... himself.<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<br />
<i><b>As you can see J & I are mostly into reading contemporary-romance novels. We have never read a zombie novel let alone, seen anything that piqued our interest. Of Royal Descent is a novel that redefines the word zombie. It's a zombie-romance with a very nice twist. </b><br />
<br />
Ever since he was young, Doyle Hawthorne knew he was different. After coming home from a day at college he helped his adopted father clean out their garage. He ran into a box of old letters and a photo of his biological grandparents. After Doyle had questioned his adopted father about the things he had found, he came to realize the truth of his biological family's past. His grandfather had a psychiatric breakdown, mentally ill and put in a Rehabilitation Clinic. <br />
<br />
Wanting to know more about his biological relatives past, Doyle and his best friend Chuck Johnson set out on a road trip. The closer they got to their destination in Ohio the more anxious Doyle became. Unusual things started to happen with Doyle, he can sense things before they happened, he was having weird nightmares, he had an appetite for raw meat, and he was feeling ill. <br />
<br />
After waking up from an early nap, he decided to make a run to the closes restaurant near the hotel him and Chuck were staying at. Doyle had passed out while waiting in line only to wake up to a hot girl leaning over him. Her name was Addy. Doyle has never been attracted to anyone the way he was with Addy so he immediately asked her out on a date. They had an instant attraction and connection to one another. <br />
<br />
The story between Doyle and his best friend Chuck is fun to read as well. Chuck is that cocky, arrogant, fun-loving, crazy friend that anyone secretly enjoys having around. They have that brotherly bond and their conversation was hilarious.<br />
<b><br />
I was surprised how much we enjoyed this novel. It's a departure from most zombie literature in many ways, first being that this is a zombie love-story. As ridiculous as that sounds, it works. The author gives so much detail that you are able to picture everything she describes perfectly. Ember doesn't overlook any description which allows her readers to be there with her characters.<br />
<br />
Ember Shane did a great job with this story! Even though she left us with a little cliff-hanger in the end, now we're just dying to know what will happen with Chuck? We can not wait for her next installment to this series. <br />
<br />
We also want to thank you Ember for contacting us in reading and reviewing your novel. You've introduced us to a genre we normally would have found unappealing. We definitely ventured out from our norm and enjoyed every moment of it. <br />

<center><b><u>Interview Q&A</u></b></center><br />
<br />
<br />
<b>Will there be another book to Of Royal Descent? Is this book part of a series?</b><br />
<br />
<i>I'm currently working on the follow up novel, entitled Of High Treason. Although I had originally envisioned a trilogy for the Royal Descent Series, there's a good possibility I will continue the story beyond that.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What inspired you to write your first book and how long did it take you to complete it?</b><br />
<br />
<i>I was actually plotting out a time traveler romance when a friend and I began talking about subgenres of paranormal romances. Zombies had come up, and I just remember thinking how gross that sounded. Ha! But I've always been a sucker for a good writing challenge, and if making rotting flesh somehow romantic isn't a challenge, I don't know what is. When I got home that night, I immediately began drafting it out on a storyboard, and I've been blissfully obsessed with the characters and plot ever since. From start to finish, Of Royal Descent took me about nine months to complete.</i><br />
<b><br />
Who is your favorite character in this book? </b><br />
<br />
<i>Gosh, that's a hard one. But, I would probably have to say Chuck. He's that friend that everyone would love to have - adventurous, loyal, and comically arrogant.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What was the hardest part of writing your book?</b><br />
<br />
<i>Revision was definitely the hardest part of the process. I tend to write so much during the early drafts, that I have to continually pare content down for novel length and pacing. There are just some parts that I really hated to cut, but it made the story flow better. <br />
</i><br />
<b>If you can go back and change anything you have written what would it be & why?</b><br />
<br />
<i>I'd probably keep the scene I had originally written of Chuck and Kai when they were alone in the hotel after their date. It was from Chuck's point of view and a great scene. I cut it because I was trying to keep the rating more suitable for younger readers as well. Although in the second book, I will be including the racier scenes.</i><br />
<br />
<b>What books/authors have influenced your writing?</b><br />
<br />
<i>Almost every book I've ever read has influenced my writing in some way, but two specific writers come to mind. I've always admired Janet Evanovich's quick pacing and high doses of comedy in her Stephanie Plum Series. Karen Marie Moning's Fever Series is also high of my list of influential writing. Moning does a marvelous job at melding suspense and romance with paranormal elements.</i><br />
<br />
<b>If you had to choose, which writer would you consider a mentor?</b><br />
<br />
<i>Definitely Evanovich. Once you read so many novels by the same author, you can't help but pick up on how they structure plot and the characterization techniques they use.</i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have any advice for new writers?</b><br />
<br />
<i>My advice is to write even when you don't feel like it, even when it's crap. Getting it down on paper is the secret to writing. I think a common tendency, at least for me, is thinking the first draft has to be perfect. This makes the process extremely slow and frustrating. When I start falling victim to this mentality, I have to remind myself that the first draft and final draft are several versions apart. </i><br />
<br />
<b>Do you have anything specific that you want to say to your readers?</b><br />
<br />
<i>I sincerely thank each and every one of you, especially those that take the time to leave reviews. Writing has always been my passion, but having awesome readers makes it that much more enjoyable! You can find me at Facebook and Goodreads.<br />

By J. Lynn, Jennifer L. Armentrout<br />
Published: October 22, 2013<br />
Genre: New Adult, Contemporary Romance<br />
<br />
<br />
It’s Wait for You as you’ve never seen it. Trust in Me lets you in on Cam’s side of the #1 New York Times Bestselling story.<br />
<br />
Cameron Hamilton is used to getting what he wants, especially when it comes to women. But when Avery Morgansten comes crashing into his life – literally – he finally meets the one person who can resist his soulful baby blues. But Cam’s not ready to give up. He can’t get the feisty and intriguing girl out of his head.<br />
<br />
Avery has secrets, secrets that keep her from admitting the feelings Cam knows she has for him. Will persistence (and some delicious homemade cookies) help him break down her barriers and gain her trust? Or will he be shut out of Avery's life, losing his first real shot at the kind of love that lasts forever?<br />

<b>J&M's review:</b><br />
<i>Trust In Me is Cam's point of view to Wait For You. Even though this is retelling the story in his point of view, we enjoyed it just as much. Now, We are not exaggerating when we say that we fell in love with him just a little bit more in this book. It didn't add much to the story in general, but we did get to know Cam better, his personality and his past. I love that we get to see what is going through his head the first time that he meets Avery. <br />
<br />
We definitely enjoyed when J. Lynn alternates points-of-view in her novels; adding the two points-of-view from the main characters. It adds more depths and emotions that as a reader, we definitely ENJOY. We were reliving the moments from Avery and Cam’s relationship that had us laughing and crying and was a great reminder of some of the events that happened in Wait For You. If you want to relive the moments with an old book boyfriend, then you will love Trust in Me. You will cry, laugh, and be broken hearted with Avery and Cam, but you will also love and rejoice with them too!</i><br />
