Synopsis
The only thing better than cake is cake with a side of orgasms.
Dylan James has no expectations when it comes to relationships. He uses women for sex and they use him for his money and power. It’s quid pro quo and he's good with that. It works. Beth Harrison has been burned. She's tired of the lies and the game playing that men bring and has buried herself in her passion—baking which keeps her out of the reach of heartbreak. As she begins her career as a TV baker, a new world opens up to her. Dylan and Beth both know that casual sex is all about giving what you need to get what you want. Except that sometimes you give more than you need to and get everything you ever wanted.

Excerpt
Dylan “I understood the dynamic between men and women. I got to sleep with hot women, and in exchange they got to fuck a rich guy in the hope that they’d become beneficiaries of my cash. I might be handsome, but I knew from bitter experience that if a richer guy came along, I’d be left in the taillights of the women I slept with. It just happened that now, there weren’t many richer men, which gave me a certain satisfaction. I’d made peace with the transactional nature of relationships between men and women and had no expectations. At some point in my past I’d thought that love was possible. Not anymore. It was all about giving to get.”




This was my first book by this author and I have to say I am really pleased with how this story turned out. 
I've seen some of her other work, so it was only a matter of time before I read one of her books.

Indigo Nights surprised me. 
In a very positive way. 
It wasn't until I read the authors notes at the back, that I realized that these characters were part of a series. 
But it didn't ruin my experience. 
On the contrary,it only peaked my interest 
for the other characters. 
That said, Indigo Nights can easily 
be read as standalone.

I really enjoyed the characters and their story development. Especially Beth. What a strong and sensible woman. 
With everything she's been through the past four years, 
she's still strong as ever and knows 
when to put her foot down! 
I loved her honesty and that 
she's not embarrassed or hiding her past struggles.

Dylan was equally as interesting
 and such a powerful character. 
I loved how his presence commanded attention. 
But behind that beautiful exterior 
lied a sweet and vulnerable man. 
I loved how he acted towards Beth. 
Dylan showed so many different sides. 
Very caring and loving but when they were intimate, 
it was a sexy as hell. 
Dylan had some amazing dirty talk.
In 3
The plot wasn't anything new 
but the characters were so funny and amazing, 
that it didn't do anything to change my overall opinion. 
I really enjoyed how their relationship 
grew along with their feelings. 
Louise Bay knows how to write compelling characters 
and let's not forget the insanely hot sex scenes
 between Beth and Dylan. 
So sexy but with so many emotions.

5 Stars~Adore by Nina Lane

SOB-SexyCover-16155-Adore
 ADORE 
(Spiral of Bliss #4)

Liv and Dean West have always fallen together, but this time they might fall apart...
Liv and Dean have everything…almost. With a rambunctious toddler, crazy work schedules, and too many responsibilities, they’ve lost sight of their passionate, intimate marriage. And Professor West is none too happy about that.
Determined to lure his wife into hot new adventures, Dean struggles with his need to have Liv all to himself and the reality of sharing her with the world.
Then he gets an opportunity that could change their lives…and Liv is faced with the prospect of her white knight going places where she can’t follow.




I'm going to say what I said about the four previous books
 in The Spiral Bilss series. 
Simply beautiful and stunning storytelling. I didn't think it was possible for Nina Lane to come up with more interesting stories about Dean and Liv. 
But she did and to perfection. 
Why I fell in love with this series were the characters and their struggles. They felt realistic 
and so did their 
actions and emotions.

Dean and Liv have had their obstacles in their relationship
 and now marriage. 
In Adore both Liv and Dean
 have to figure out, 
how to share 
each other with world. 
They also have a 
two year old son now
 and that's also creating problems. But only in the bedroom department.
It was so interesting to see how they were both handling being a parent and the responsibility that comes with it. 
Also how a child birth effects Liv's libido and how 
Dean chose to deal with that. 
Also Dean gets a very impressive job offer,
 that gives Liv her 
own doubts and struggles.
Again these issues felt 
so realistic and I loved that. 
Dean and Liv's love and connection is so unbelievably strong that I had no doubts, 
that whatever they were dealing with they would pull through it.

I loved that I got see some new sides to Dean and Liv. 
They are both very sexual people and need to show their love and affirmation through sex. 
When that becomes one of the least things on Liv's mind, due to giving birth and work,
 Dean has to take control
 and he does. 
This was such an intense and very erotic side to Dean. 
I loved how aware and considerate he was of Liv. 
Also how she flourished under Dean's touch.
 There's simply so much 
heat and love
 between these amazing people. They really fix each other 
when they are in need. 

Liv and Dean's journey has been one I've really enjoyed because I feel like I know them. 
That they're real people. 
Thanks to the author. 
Nina Lane has from book one taken her time to create these strong and vivid characters. 
Not just Dean and Liv but also Kelsey, Allie and 
I could go on and on. 
I feel like I've built a 
relationship with them. 
I care about them tremendously. This series has been 
a beautiful and captivating experience. I don't now what 
the future holds for Dean and Liv but hopefully I can read about it in another book. Here's to hoping.

5 Stars~Pandemonium by Bella Jewel


Title: Pandemonium
Series: MC Sinners Next Generation #1
Author: Bella Jewel
Genre: Contemporary Romance 
 Release Date: January 26, 2016



Blurb

I am the good girl, the one who does no wrong.

Daughter to a ferocious and strong MC President, I know what protection feels like.

Until one night changes everything - and not a single person in the world can protect me from it, not even my dad.

Suffocating. Alone. Desperate.

I let my problems live deep inside until there is no longer anywhere to run.

I need an escape. Anything to make the pain go away.

Trouble comes for me, and I don't fight it.

I tried so hard to believe in what I was,

But nobody understood.

Not until him. Not until Lucas.

He sees me. He believes in me.

He refuses to let me drown.

He’s my way out. My escape.

But Lucas is forbidden. He’s a cop. I’m in danger. And my father is trying to protect what can’t be protected.

There can only be one outcome.

Pandemonium.


**This book can be read as a standalone, but don't stress original MC Sinner fans, your favs are all there!** 






I'm just reeling as I finished this book. 
I didn't even read all the other books in the original series. 
I love when an author can create a series the books can be read as standalones. 
And in this case it was done with such perfection, I didn't even know it was part of a series or a spin-off.
I will say I didn't know 
at first where this was all going. 
I felt like I wasn't sure how is going to 
all tie together,
what was going to happen but then somehow things just started flowing 
and I went from like 
30% to 60% in like an hour.
I was completely encapsulated
 & captivated by the story.
I could feel the pain with them. 
I could visualize the scene 
because it was written so well. 
It was so vivid and real! 
 I felt just as broken Lucas and Ava.
The title does the story more than justice. 
I purposely didn't include any plot information 
because this is something to be experienced. 
You may feel like I did at first but I assure you this story doesn't disappoint 
and I plan on getting caught up on the rest of the series!

EXCERPT REVEAL~The Absolution of Aidan by Kathy Coopmans

the absololtion of aidan excerpt reveal.jpg


Excerpt
Silence met me once again the minute Roan left. The thing about silence is it has the power to make you think. The energy from complete muteness can slow down the mind. In this case, it has mine reeling. I mean, what in the hell was tonight all about? The way he sunk into his chair, one leg crossed over the other, tapping his fingers nervously on his leg. The minute I looked away from him, he was looking at me. I felt like he was studying my profile, searching for something.
I’ve known him for a long time. He’s never been one to keep secrets, unless he’s asked to. If he has something to say, he says it. Roan was off tonight. Something big is going down, and for the life of me, I have no idea what the hell it could be. I’m a member of this family. Been through the ritual of the ceremony, swore to put it first. Keep my mouth shut by pledging an oath of silence. I’ve stuck my neck out many times over the course of this past year. Running errands. Beating the shit out of men who try to pull one over on us. I’m a bodyguard to his woman. Even though their families have made peace with one another, not to mention the red scum of the earth, Royal, is fucking rotting in his hole of death somewhere, the families still have enemies. Especially Alina’s, with her dad and his dealing with drugs.

I push away from the locked door, the only light on in my apartment coming from the half bath in the hallway giving me enough to make my way to my bedroom, still not understanding why the hell the Solokov family still deals those fucked up drugs. After everything these two families have dealt with over the past few years, you would think people would say ‘Fuck this shit, we don’t need it anymore,’ especially the goddamn money. I’ve seen first-hand what money can turn a person into. That shit is not for me. I’m not complaining by any means. I have one hell of a roof over my head. Food in my belly. But fuck me, there’s some crazy ass shit out there. I really don’t have room to talk or to judge, though. Hell, I help steal guns when I’m not watching out for Alina.



The Absolution of Aidan is Book three of The Best Selling Syndicate Series by Kathy Coopmans releases on February 16th!

I was cruel to Deidre La Russo. Said things I should never say to a woman.
Seen things happen to her.
Things darker than the bottle of liquor I consume.
I felt helpless.
Defeated.
The memories are more tortuous than the act of her torture.
Then she walks back into my life, only she’s not alone.

Deidre La Russo
I have my reasons for leaving.
I lived through hell.
I was beaten, tortured. Drugged.
I have secrets.
I have to tell them.
Danger brought us all together.
Danger may rip us apart.
