Wicked Innocence
by Missy Johnson
Publication Date: June 27, 2014

*Synopsis*
Don’t let my petite and innocent appearance fool you, because I’m one person you don’t want to cross. I’m Micah, the youngest member of Resurrection…If only they knew how young. My fake ID says I’m twenty-one.

And I will be…in four years.

What can I say? I blossomed early. Home sucked, so I left, determined to do something with my life.

Landing the gig as lead vocalist in the band was a dream come true. I’ve worked hard to make something of myself and nothing is going to ruin that for me.

Then He showed up.

He’s hot as hell and so into me. But he’s also twenty-five.

I don’t want to lie to him, but if the truth comes out I’ll lose everything, including him.

*Synopsis*

Power. Money. Control. Love.

He has all but one.

When movie star, Evan Carlson, discovers his girlfriend’s picture with another man splashed on the cover of gossip magazines, he decides he’s had enough of his fishbowl life and attempts to outrun the media frenzy his relationships have become. Driving until the road stops, he ends up on the remote and quaint Perry Island, where a heartthrob can blend in like the locals and be a beach bum as long as he wants. All that changes when Evan meets Haven Owen, aspiring songwriter and the girl he just can’t get enough of. A summer romance turns into something much deeper and Evan gets tangled in his own web of lies to keep Haven in his life. But when his ex tracks him down, Evan learns there are some things you just can’t outrun.

Is the cost of love, losing all control?

Cover Reveal : Whiskey Prince by Toni Aleo

Take a risk.
Do something drastic.
Fall in love.

When Amberlyn Reilly loses her mother, her whole world comes crashing down. Having been caretaker to her for most of her teenage years, Amberlyn is inexperienced in many aspects of life. She hasn’t had time to live, have fun, or enjoy even the little things. It’s only when a letter from her mother, asking her to fulfill three things, sends her off to Ireland to live a life she never thought possible that she begins to heal.

Declan O’Callaghan was born and raised in Ireland and has his family’s legendary whiskey in his veins. He’s shy and not a fan of the pressure and spotlight that comes with his family name, or the title he was given at birth—the Whiskey Prince. Declan knows just what he wants and that is to take over the family dynasty, but when his father gives him an ultimatum, everything he’s worked for could come undone in the blink of an eye.

With six months to get married, the reclusive Declan spots Amberlyn across a lake and instantly feels the need to know her. Soon, the two find themselves traveling down a path neither expected. However, like any road, there are bumps and side streets to derail them. Can Declan help find the pieces that will make Amberlyn whole again? And will Amberlyn stay or run when she learns of Declan’s deadline of marriage?

Review: Willing Captive by Belle Aurora

Title: Willing Captive
Author: Belle Aurora
Release Date: Out Now
Rating: 5 stars
Amazon / B&N / Goodreads

*Synopsis*

(Author note: This is NOT a dark romance.)

Delilah “Lily” Flynn is used to her drab existence. Lily’s been living it for twenty two years.
Her boring life is suddenly turned on its head when she’s rudely kidnapped from her bedroom.
Or so she thinks.

Nox Taylor is far too high up in his field to be assigned a babysitting job.
There’s nothing more he wants than to complete his mission so he can be rid of the smartass tomboy, Lily.

Day after day, Nox watches Lily and her strange ways. She’s unlike any woman he’s ever met.
Getting close to the girl is purely for her own protection…right?

Lily never imagined she’d make her first real friends in captivity.
What lengths would she go through to keep them?

**This is a stand alone novel and is unrelated to Friend-Zoned**

*Review*

This is the first book that I have read by Belle Aurora and I loved it.

I really liked the Plot in the book. Yes there have been other stories about kidnapping but Belle done a wonderful job at adding something extra to the book.I though Nox was a ass in the first part of the book, but I totally liked it. I like when the main guy is now warm and fuzzy to begin with. You get to see them change over the course of the book and Nox did.

Lily was soooo sheltered. She didn't get to do anything. Although she was feisty, she was also shy at times. I liked that. I loved Boo and Rock. Rock was such a cool character. He wasn't shy at all and neither was Boo.

Overall, the book was amazing. I do recommend you read it.

Review: Bender (The Core Four, #1) by Stacy Borel

Title: Bender (The Core Four, #1)
Author: Stacy Borel
Release Date: Out Now
Rating: 5 stars
Amazon / B&N / Goodreads

*Synopsis*

All Keegan wanted was a roommate who was quiet, minded their own business, and paid for part of the rent. Instead, she got Camden Brooks.

Camden, with his sinful body, sharp tongue, and the inability to stay out of Keegan’s personal space, couldn’t seem to curb his interest in the new girl who wouldn’t put up with his domineering ways.

Feelings were running rampant, sexual tension was thick, and both were struggling to let go of control.

To some people, getting a roommate simply meant living with another person. But to both Camden and Keegan it was a curveball that neither was prepared to swing at.

**Strong sexual content**
Can be read as a stand alone. Each brother will have their own book. (A 96,000 word novel)

*Review*

Look at the cover. It's Gorgeous. Love it.

This was my first Stacy Borel book and I really freaking liked it. I do plan on finishing the rest of the series.

I liked that the parents were obsessed with Baseball and decided to name her 4 son's after a baseball field. Totally awesome.

I loved all the characters. I loved the plot, really just everything about the book. I really could not find anything wrong with the book. I was just awesome. I liked that Keegan was a sweetheart. She could literally make friends with anyone. I also liked that Camden was a totally ass. OK, so I know that he did say a few things that were totally not ok. But I think he made up for it later on in the book.

I can't wait to read Turner's book, which is book two.

Such a good book. I really do recommended it.

Review: Sergei Volume 2 (Her Russian Protector, #5.5) by Roxie Rivera

Title: Sergei Volume 2 (Her Russian Protector, #5.5)
Author: Roxie Rivera
Release Date: Out Now
Rating: 4 Stars

*Synopsis*

Wedding dress designer and boutique owner Bianca Bradshaw always plays by the rules—until Sergei. The Russian behemoth broke down the walls guarding her heart as easily as he kicked down her front door. After a wild, passionate love affair that's the talk of Houston's underworld leaves them facing an unplanned but very much wanted pregnancy, Bianca can't imagine a single day without Sergei in her life—and in her bed.

Freed from the clutches of the Russian mob by her tenacious love, former enforcer and prize fighter Sergei Sakharov intends to give Bianca exactly what she wants. He's going to make that luscious, curvy beauty his wife and spend the rest of his life making her happy.

Or, at least, that's the plan.

But Sergei quickly learns that no one ever really gets out of the life. When unfinished business threatens the family he's trying to build with the woman who forever holds his heart, he'll have to make a hard choice. To protect his pregnant wife, there is no line Sergei won't cross.

*Revivew*

I liked this book. I thought that it wasn't as good as the first. To me this was more like a novella thought some of the choices Bianca made could of been prevented if she had listened to Sergei. I also liked that the rest of the group was in the book as well. I also liked Sergei's family. I did not like how at a certain part in the book Sergei’s mom decided that she suddenly liked Bianca. I also like the new character that was introduced, Ten, I hope he gets a book. He seems so different from the other guys in the books.

Can't wait for the next book in the series...
