SYNOPSIS



I was ruthless.
I was feared.
I had sacrificed. Myself. Her. Everything...
Living in a world where I was worth more dead than alive was a choice. I was a bad man, never claimed to be anything else. I’ve done things I’m not proud of. Seen things that can’t be unseen. I’ve caused pain that I can’t undo.
It was all my choice.
Every decision.
Every order.
Right and wrong never mattered.
Until her.
She was under my protection, until she became my obsession.
But who was going to save her...
From. Me. The devil himself.

Fate brought us together. Destiny destroyed us.


EXCERPT
“Go stretch again, cariƱo,” I ordered in a dominant tone. Nodding to the barre.
“I’m fine,” she stubbornly replied. Shaking her legs and arms out. Getting back into position, looking at me through the mirror.
I cocked my head to the side, arching an eyebrow. She narrowed her eyes at me, but begrudgingly listened. I pressed play, allowing the melody to once again take over. She placed her leg on the lowest barre, making her ass stick out in my direction.
Tempting me.
She closed her eyes, needing to get lost in the music, wanting to push away all the negative thoughts, already feeling discouraged. I stood, taking off my suit jacket. Rolling up the sleeves of my collared shirt as I stepped onto the hardwood floor. I slowly came up behind her, catching her off guard.
She froze, turning around, opening her eyes. Peering up at me through her lashes. “What are you doing?”
I leaned forward against her ear, grinning. “I’m helping you stretch.” Getting down on my knees in front of her.
Her eyes dilated. The feeling of disappointment replaced with nothing but lust. She placed her arms out to the side, resting up against the barre, supporting her weight. I grabbed her ankle, lifting it up in the air, rubbing along her leg as it was fully stretched, before setting it on the lowest barre. Running my other hand up her side, easing her over toward the extended leg. She understood what I was doing, reaching for her ankle, stretching. Standing back up, bringing her arms above her head, I caressed along her leg again, casually turning her torso so her leg was still placed on the barre behind her.
Her breathing hitched as I touched her all over her lower body. My lips softly kissing the inside of her thigh to where she wanted my mouth the most.


From the moment 
I read the first exerpt, 
I was captivated by this story.  
It was nothing like I expected,  
it was so much more.  
This was a journey of a man that was ripped of his heart and soul,  
who had been to the depths of 
Hell and back. 
Martinez was born into this lifestyle and molded into El Diablo by his father. 
A Ruthless man who didn't GAF who he hurt including his own flesh and blood.  His dad preached that family was the only thing that mattered,  which Martinez believed,  
but his father truly did not.  
Although Martinez was about this lifestyle, he waged an internal battle throughout most of his life.  
He had known love, but not ever like he ended up experiencing.  
He had a messed up way of expressing it based on his upbringing, 
but nonetheless he expressed it the only way he knew how.  
Lexi didn't have the ideal upbringing either.  She spent her days loving her mother. A woman that was only a shell of a person co-existing in the world.  Lexi never questioned her mother's condition, she only provided her with unconditional love. 
She also was condemned to her own Hell on earth. 
She managed to escape,  
but not unscathed.

This is a story of murder, power, corruption, loss, money, deceit, 
faith, trust, respect, friendship, 
lust, family and 
pure unconditional love. 
It will consume you 
until you read the last words.

Every-time I thought I knew 
what was going to happen,  
I  was surprised by the turn of events.  Equally, every time I had hope,  
it was shattered 
by the darkness of El Diablo.

I can't wait for the next installment in this series.

Retrieval C.jpg


Blurb

I proposed on our first date.
She laughed and told me I was insane. Less than a day later, she said yes.
It was a whirlwind, but we were happy…
Until we got greedy and wanted a family.

It was a life I couldn’t give her, not for lack of trying. Fertility just wasn’t on our side. We sought out doctors and treatments. Spent money we didn’t have. Lied to our families. Smiled for our friends. Put on a brave face for a world that didn’t understand.
Finally, we were successful…
Until we were forced to bury our son.

We were left broken, battered, and destroyed.
They say love is in the details, but it was the details that ruined us.

This is the story of how I took back what had always been mine.
The retrieval of my wife and our family.

EXCERPT

“Where’d you get beer?” Elisabeth asked as she scrambled from the couch.
“Seth,” I replied, hanging my head and rubbing my eyes.
Jesus, I’d wanted to kiss her. She was being a bitch, spouting shit she didn’t mean just because she was too scared to let me in.
But, even through it, those plump lips were calling to me.
I’d never been able to resist that woman. Despite that we’d fallen apart, it hadn’t changed. The hum for her was still in my veins. It never went away, but for two years, it had been dormant. I’d packed it down so tightly that I’d hoped it had died. But, with one look, my body began thrumming like a live wire.
“Seth?” she asked as she bent over to straighten her tight, black pencil skirt.
It was a rare occasion to catch Elisabeth in something other than a perfectly pressed skirt and a pair of heels. But she’d been sleeping all day. It was wrinkled all to hell and back. The only thing her efforts succeeded in was drawing my attention down to her legs.
Legs that had spent many nights wrapped around my hips as she came while crying my name.
Shit. I should go.
But, after the way she’d latched on to me that morning, I wasn’t going anywhere.
“My assistant,” I answered. “I had him pick you up a bottle of wine, too.”
She blinked. “You have an assistant? Who delivers you beer? And your ex-wife wine?”
“No, I have an assistant who does whatever the fuck I need him to do. And, luckily for us, beer and wine happen to fall into the whatever-the-fuck-I-need-him-to-do category tonight.” She fought back a smile as I finished, “So do gyros.”
“Damn. I need to get one of those,” she mumbled to herself.
I smirked. “Cash my checks and you could afford one.”
It was a dick move, bringing up the money right then. But, despite her expert hand in decorating, that little starter house we’d bought with rose-colored glasses now needed a shit-ton of work.
Her back shot ramrod straight, fury crinkling the corners of her eyes as she snarled, “I’m not cashing your checks.”
I shrugged. “Guess you’ll have to figure out how to get your own wine and dinner after tonight.”
“I think I can manage,” she fired back.
“Suit yourself.” I pushed off the couch and meandered to the kitchen.
I went to the fridge and leaned in, searching for anything I could snack on. With the exception of at least a dozen Tupperware containers, she didn’t have much in the way of a quick bite.
Snagging a handful of grapes from the drawer, I made a mental note to send Seth to the grocery store after he’d delivered dinner.
Popping the grapes in my mouth one by one, I felt her watching me in what could only be defined as silent awe. I decided my best move would be to ignore it. “You know, I should have invented Tupperware. You alone could keep me in business,” I told her, retrieving a beer and then shutting the door.
She scoffed then muttered, “At least then I would have benefitted from you abandoning our marriage.”
Lava fresh off the volcanoes in Hell boiled in my veins.
I cocked my head to the side and questioned, “I’m sorry. Come again?”
“You should go,” she snapped.
Think a-fucking-gain.
“Nah, I’m good. Got any movies?”
I tipped the bottle to my lips, doing my best to calm the storm brewing within me, all while still fighting the desire to take her to the floor, plant myself between her legs, and remind her how that fucking attitude affected me.
Clearly, she had forgotten.
My cock had not.
“Roman, it’s been a crazy day. Please don’t do this tonight.”
“Do what?” I asked, leaning back against the huge, granite island.
She threw her hands out to the sides in frustration. “What you always do.”
“What do I always do, Lissy?”
“This!” she yelled.
I frowned and took another pull from my beer. “Haven’t been in our kitchen, drinking beer, in a long time. I hardly think it’s fair to say I always do it.”
Her eyes nearly bulged from her head. “My kitchen, Roman. This is my kitchen. Not ours. And you know good and damn well that is not what I’m talking about.”
My lips twitched as I pointed the neck of my bottle at her. “No. What I know good and damn well is that I have no idea what the fuck you are talking about. Or why you’re slinging unnecessary and, might I add, undeserved attitude at me like a short-order cook at the bitch house.”
“He did not say that to me,” she whispered to herself.
When I lifted a shoulder in a half shrug, she swung a pointed finger toward the door and yelled, “Get out!”
I grinned, crossing my legs at the ankle. “You always were cranky when you were hungry.”
And that was the exact moment her head exploded.

Aly Martinez hooked me from page one and didn't let me go 
until I reached the final page. 
Once I started reading I 
simply couldn't stop. Retrieval was fantastic. It had an amazing story with interesting and layered characters.


I was invested in Elisabeth and Roman's journey. From their first date which was epic in every way. 
I reveled in their dialogue and their instant sizzling attraction. 
In the present day their situation was different with them dealing with being divorced. So I enjoyed the flashbacks to their first date and how it was done worked seamlessly. 
There was so much chemistry between them. It was insane and
 I loved every interaction 
between them. 
Being in their company felt easy and comfortable. Even though they were both dealing with their divorce I could still feel the love they obviously still carried for one another. 
They'd experienced heartbreak and loss and despite that it was there still. 
The emotions between them especially the sexual tension was intense and delicious. 
I was definitely jealous 
of Elisabeth:)

Roman and Elisabeth's story intertwined with another character, 
Clare and that just added another layer to the story which was a great surprise. It added the elements of 
suspense and angst.
This wasn't just a typical romance. Retrieval was suspenseful and intense. These struggles the characters went through definitely kept me on my toes.
Once again the writing was sublime. Martinez creates flawed characters that I instantly connect with. 
Whether it's male or female. 
There's so much more to them than what meets the eye. 
Fans of Aly Martinez won't be disappointed. 
This is one hell of a ride.

BLOG TOUR: Wicked Bond by Sawyer Bennett

wicked-bond-banner
Wicked Bond 
(The Wicked Horse Series Book #5) 
Sawyer Bennett Release Date: September 13, 2016
Synopsis: Bridger Payne is an enigma that no one can figure out. Wise beyond his years, eerily intuitive and sexy as hell, every woman in The Silo wants him. None can have him. Not the real man, anyway. He might wield the lash for you if you ask prettily, but he’ll get no gratification from it. He’ll definitely make you scream, but he won’t think twice about you when he walks away. Bridger carries the darkest of secrets. He’s filled with too much pain. He’s utterly untouchable. Until she came along. **Warning: this book has sex in it. Lots of sex. Dirty sex. The Wicked Horse Series is a bit different than what Sawyer Bennett normally writes. While you’ll still enjoy fabulous characters, a suspenseful story, some witty banter and an epic romance, there’s just... a lot of sex. You’ve been warned. Goodreads Link: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/31247847-wicked-bond Purchase Wicked Bond: Amazon: **available on release day** B&N: **available on release day** iBooks: http://apple.co/1RME4Ei Google Play: **available on release day** Kobo: **available on release day** ashamed 



I've been looking forward to reading Bridger's story since the first book Wicked Fall. 
There was something mysterious and haunted about him that caught my attention immediately. 
I could easily tell he had his demons to battle and everlasting 
emotional scars to carry. 
His story did not disappoint. 
It was filled with a tragic and horrible childhood, something that shaped Bridger throughout his 
Teenage years and adult life.

I enjoyed his story and how this one woman, Maggie turned his life upside down and made him question 
his wants and needs. 
It was at times a difficult and tough read because of Bridger's past but it had to be cause he's been such closed off man who didn't do relationships. 
I needed to know why Bridger was the way he was and when his trauma was disclosed everything made sense. 

Bridger's always been a very sexual man who loved sex and having it with both men and women. 
Maggie made him reevaluate that and those two definitely made 
my panties wet. 
OMG were they hot together and the sex was intense and mind blowing. 
Once again I'm happy that the other women from the series 
showed up along with Woolf. I
t proved how loyal and supportive they were no matter what.

I appreciate what Sawyer Bennett did with this series which was celebrating sex, freedom to be your true self and enjoy sex with who ever you choose as long as between consenting adults. 
The Wicked Horse series has been really sexy, definitely kinky but most of all great stories about friendships.
