COVER REVEAL & GIVEAWAY!
Dusty Delinquents (Dusty #2) by Mary Elizabeth & Sarah Elizabeth


Coming: October 23, 2014
Synopsis
The innocent girl with a delinquent heart has to live with her bad choices. Secret hope and hurt feel like falling while she learns how to breathe again, but there's still freedom in trouble.

The runaway with blacked-out eyes is losing his grip. Crushing two hearts in one fist, his addiction bends rules and breaks deals, but the boy born for bliss isn't going anywhere without a fight.

Love is knowing they should stay away, but love is illogical at best.

She's afraid to let go.

He won't let her.

This is how silliness and foolishness grow up.

Here, forever is a lie.


Excerpt
I stand silent, breathing in through my nose and out my mouth. Tonight’s argument is years of frustration stacked and hidden, too tall to push away anymore. A little trigger is all it takes, and we end up like this, saying things we don’t mean, taking our aggravation out on each other.
My heart pumps misguided love.
“This isn’t how it’s supposed to be,” it beats. “But that’s your boy—aimless and crazy for you.”
Knowing that I had a role on his spiral to the bottom kills me. As his parents continue to fail him, I should be the one that steps forward and says, “This is wrong.”
But to do so at this point in his madness would be betrayal, and I have to handle his trust with care.

Inhaling an uneven breath, I watch him under the moon’s glow washing out his already pale complexion. Icy wind blows my boy’s white tee against his slender body under his unzipped hoodie, and his hands shake at his sides.

By Penelope Ward
Release Date: September 29, 2014

Synopsis:

You’re not supposed to want the one who torments you. 

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. 

I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. 
I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. 
But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him. 

At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. Then, things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night. 

Just as quickly as he’d come into my life, he was gone back to California. 

It had been years since I’d seen Elec. 

When tragedy struck our family, I’d have to face him again. 

And holy hell, the teenager who made me crazy was now a man that drove me insane.

I had a feeling my heart was about to get broken again.

Stepbrother Dearest is a standalone novel.

Getting Even by Sarah Rayner

 
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/17167262-getting-even

http://amzn.to/Yq7U8G
 
Synopsis
How would you feel if your best friend at work betrayed you? Was secretly having an affair with an influential colleague? Won a coveted promotion, then teamed you up with a mere junior, leaving you feeling completely demoted? What would you do? For Ivy there's no choice. The only person she has ever trusted, Orianna, has blown it big time. So there's only one way forward: revenge.

Ivy's campaign is brilliant, if horribly destructive, and she's determined to get even with the woman who has dared to cross her. But is Ivy really the innocent party? Or is she hiding secrets of her own?

From Sarah Rayner, the international bestselling author of One Moment, One Morning, comes Getting Even, an unputdownable story of jealousy, sex, friendship and backstabbing set in the heart of London's Soho adland.


MrsNorthman's Review
This is a story full of office drama, vicious rumors and backstabbing.  A reminder that a slight twist of someone's words can have devastating effects. 

Orianna and Ivy are a creative team for an advertising firm.  They've built their careers together and become best friends along the way.  They are total opposites in every way. Ivy is brash, cold and sometimes downright nasty. Orianna is sweet and extremely naive, so she's clueless when it comes to Ivy's antics.

Ivy feels it's utter betrayal when Orianna takes a promotion.  A promotion that makes her Ivy's boss.  Add on top of that, the secret Orianna has been keeping for months.  Her relationship with one of their colleagues, Dan. Ivy freaks and becomes dead set on getting revenge. She's starts a rash of rumors involving Orianna's boyfriend, his trainer and the new girl in the office.  The sad part, Orianna has no idea that its Ivy making her life so miserable.  But what goes around comes around.  Especially since Ivy's been keeping secrets of her own. 
I found this book entertaining overall, but I couldn't help feeling like something was missing.  There was no character connection for me.  I couldn't wrap my mind around why Ivy and Orianna would even be friends.  They were just so different and Ivy had no redeeming qualities.  At times Orianna's naivety was just too much to take.  Could anyone really be that blind when you've been friends with someone for years? I also had a hard time with the way Orianna dealt with Dan.  Who wouldn't give someone a chance to tell their side of the story?  Just saying, it felt a little unbelievable.

Master for Tonight II by Elaine Barris

Review 

I need to fan myself off for a couple minutes before I start to write this review, because this book was almost too hot to handle. After reading the first book, Master for Tonight, I knew I had to get my hands on this book. I was extremely happy to find that this book picked up right where the first one left off. This book blew me away, it was so much better than I was ever expecting. Was the book perfect? No, but I still had a great time reading the book. I enjoyed this book even more than the first book. The character development was so much better in this book. Kate showed more sides to herself, and proved that she can kick butt when she needs to. By the end of this book, I was in love with every single character, minus the bad guys of course! Julian and Reese now hold special places in my heart. Reese and Mazzie were such a cute couple, I really did adore them.

     "It all comes down to this: You are my home. You are the only place for me to be. I don't want anything else, but you, Mazzie." 

I honestly think my Kindle was smoking during some of the scenes in this book. The passion and chemistry was off the charts in this book between both Kate and Julian and Reese and Mazzie. Here is a little look into one of these searing hot scenes:

     "He pressed his lips against hers, and slowly, hers softened. Her chest melted against him, and his hands went into her hairline at her scalp. Gently easing his tongue inside her mouth, he tasted her sweetness again. He sucked on her tongue, out to the tip and then back again, meeting her lips with 
his and filling himself with her." 

It gets even hotter from there, but I won't spoil that for you! Besides having hot scenes, this book was also filled with some tender moments between the couples. This book had a lot more romance than the first one, and it made me one happy girl. 

     " "I love you, Kate Collins."

        "Kate Montfort."
  
       "What did you say?" he asked, not believing his ears. She had been adamant in the past about not making a permanent commitment to him.

        "I said, Kate Montfort." She smiled up at him shyly.

        "I don't want a church wedding. I don't want anything big. I just want to be yours, and you to be mine." "


This book had plenty of action, mystery, and suspense. I stayed up into the wee hours of the morning because I could not put the book down. I had to keep reading to see what was going to happen next! It was interesting to get to learn more about Evangeline. It is rare that an author will write multiple chapters from the POV of the villain, so I really enjoyed that unique treat. This book left on a cliffhanger, so I seriously hope to see another book in the future with Julian, Kate, Reese, and Mazzie. To quote Julian from the first book:


I really enjoyed this book a lot. It had everything I could want in a book. I hope Elaine Barris will write another book, because I will be extremely sad if I have to say goodbye to these characters for good. I recommend this series and this book to anyone looking for a hot erotica vampire romance. 

Cliffhanger: Yes
