Book Summary

First in the new Silver Valley series from the New York Times bestselling author of the Reapers Motorcycle Club Novels

 

 Fourteen months. For fourteen months, Puck Redhouse sat in a cell and kept his mouth shut, protecting the Silver Bastards MC from their enemies. Then he was free and it was time for his reward--full membership in the club, along with a party to celebrate. That's when he saw Becca Jones for the first time and set everything in motion. Before the night ended he'd violated his parole and stolen her away from everything she knew. 

 

Five years. It was five years ago that Puck destroyed Becca and saved her all in one night. She's been terrified of him ever since, but she's even more terrified of the monsters he still protects her from... But Becca refuses to let fear control her. She's living her life and moving forward, until she gets a phone call from the past she can't ignore. She has to go back, and there's only one man she can trust to go with her--the ex-con biker who rescued her once before. 

 

Puck will help her again, but this time it'll be on his terms. No more lies, no more tears, and no more holding back what he really wants...

Bound For Hell

Book 1 of The Bound Trilogy, by Kendra Leigh

Relentlessly sexy. Emotionally deep.
Tangled, twisted, intricately woven love story with romance and suspense.
For readers 18 and over due to explicit sexual content.
Photo of a rope square labeled "Synopsis"

Ethan Wilde. Billionaire. Business Man.

Passionate. Powerful. Persistent.

One of New York’s most eligible bachelors.

Angel Lawson. Photographer. Gallery Owner.

Burdened. Beautiful. Broken.

A woman bound by the ropes of her sins and forgotten past, fearful of her future.

A chance encounter…

Consumed by guilt and tormented by the bonds of a tragic past, Angel Lawson’s life has been a solitary journey, condemned to live without love. In order to preserve her damaged soul from further rejection, sex is as close to a man as she ever plans to get. She was already hell-bound for her sins. One more wasn’t going to hurt ...

... or so she thought.

When a passionate encounter throws her into the world of Ethan Wilde, Angel is helpless to resist the irrefutable desire and depth of raw emotion he ignites in her.

Ethan is as intense as he is sinfully sexy. Irretrievably captivated by Angel, he seems just as intent on understanding her naked soul as he is desperate to possess every inch of her naked body.

Angel craves his touch like a drug and yearns for the love he promises, but surrendering to the feelings he’s unearthed will mean exposing her fears and releasing the demons buried for a lifetime. Exposing her heart will leave it at risk of being broken.

Will Angel choose to leave her life of solitude behind, or is the choice no longer hers?

Ethan Wilde is used to getting what he wants … and what he wants is Angel.

Label on a photo of a twisted rope: Excerpt


With a sexy growl, he turned to leave the room, the sight of his all-masculine form stirring a need within and suddenly an overwhelming urge washed over me. Before I knew what I was doing, I’d picked up the discarded towel from the floor, twirled it into a spiraled rope and flicked him hard on the behind. The action made a loud thwacking noise, and I knew that the end of the towel had caught him perfectly, the image of a large, purple colored splotch right in the middle of his left butt cheek, forming in my mind.
He stopped dead, waited a few agonizing beats, and slowly began to turn at the waist to meet my gaze. Wide eyes and parted lips revealed an expression that flitted somewhere between disbelief and outrage.
Oh shit!
“Not so clever to begin a towel snapping war when you’re butt naked, Miss Lawson.” His eyes slid greedily and victoriously over my bare body.
I felt incredibly exposed. He was right. I was naked and defenseless. He was strong, mean-looking, and blocking my escape route. A look of exultance slid onto his perfect face, his lips twitching with a touch of smugness. Christ, he looked fucking sexy.
I glanced around the room, cautiously weighing my options. Ethan’s eyes seemed to follow mine, moving between him, the open doorway, and my robe, which was discarded on the floor where I’d left it.
“What? You really think you have a hope in hell of escaping?” He shook his head, making a tsking noise.
Shrugging, I replied foolishly, “What? You think you have a hope in hell of stopping me?”
His eyes lit up with the challenge, a smoldering intensity settling on his sinful mouth as his tongue flicked out to run over his upper lip. My gaze shifted briefly to the bulge of his swollen cock straining beneath the fabric of his jeans, leaving me in no doubt as to the level of his aroused state. My mouth kinked into a wry smile.
“I’ll tell you what I’m going to do,” he said guilefully. “I’ll give you to the count to three to make your escape, and then I’m coming after you. And when I catch you—which I will—I’m going to spank your pert, pink ass. And then … I’m going to fuck you … Hard.”

 "When I initially agreed to review Bound for Hell I can honestly say I didn’t know what I was getting myself into. Now days it seems like a lot of the books start to blend together. So I’ll be completely honest in saying I didn’t know what to expect. But anything I could’ve ever imagined feeling for this books, times that by a million and it still wouldn’t be enough. Let’s just say this. I freaking loved this book...I’m grateful I had the chance to read Bound for Hell. I truly hope you’ll give this series a try. I would have been missing a hell of a lot if I hadn’t!" ~ Love Words and Books "

About LURE:  

 There's danger in the beauty...

Two years, six months, and twenty-five days. That's how long it had been since I'd seen my winged hero— not that I'd been counting. I'd suffered through years of counseling just to convince my friends and family that I wasn't crazy and knew he didn't exist.

But he did. And I was done waiting.


Days after college graduation I headed back down to New Orleans to retrace my steps and find Owen again only to find my life was about to get even crazier... thanks to the most beautiful and dangerous of all paranormal creatures, the Allures.


 Excerpt 

We stood awkwardly for another moment before I had to break the silence. “It’s been a while.”

“Two and a half years.”

“I thought about you the past few Halloweens.”

“I thought about you more than that. It’s actually pretty humiliating now that I’m standing in the same room with you. I don’t know what I was thinking.” She looked away.

“I lied.”

“About?”

I walked toward her. I had to wipe that regret off her face. “I thought about you a lot more than just Halloween.”

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.” I stopped right in front of her. “You were very memorable.”

“So were you.” She licked her lips. Again with the lips.

“I probably should ask you a million questions right now, but would it be okay if we put those off and did something else?”

“I guess that depends on what else you want to do?” Her eyes widened slightly.

“I want to kiss you.”

“I’m okay with that.” Her eyes seemed to sparkle.

“Yeah?”

“Yeah.”

I didn’t wait for her to change her mind. I brushed my lips against hers gently. I was going to keep it short, but I had to know if I was glorifying the last kiss.

She moved her lips against mine, and any thoughts of keeping it short disappeared. I wrapped my arms around her as I deepened the kiss, greedily pushing for access beyond those irresistible lips of hers. She opened up, welcoming me in with the same intoxicating taste as she had the last time. 

She moaned, encouraging me to continue the kiss. I didn’t need the encouragement. I lifted her up and carried her over to the couch. I sat down, settling her on my lap. I needed her close, closer than standing would allow.

Her fingers tangled in my hair as she let me explore her mouth. My hands ached to explore more, but I didn’t want to rush it. I’d waited over two years to taste her lips again, and I was going to enjoy every second of it.

Don't miss SEDUCTION'S KISS, 

the prequel novella to Lure (The Allure Chronicles #1)...

Seductions Kiss
About SEDUCTION’S KISS:


*Prequel novella to Lure (The Allure Chronicles #1)*

Never agree to a road trip to New Orleans with your roommate. At least not when your roommate is dragging you along while she reconnects with an ex-boyfriend. Possible consequences of failing to take my advice:

1) Unknowingly going out with a vampire stripper
2) Getting kidnapped by said vampire's nest mates
3) Falling head over heels for your winged hero

Believe it or not number 3 is the worst one, especially when no one believes you that he exists.

Release Week Blitz with Giveaway:The Return by Jennifer L. Armentrout

We have been dying to bring you the
Release Blitz for
Jennifer L. Armentrout's THE RETURN!

THE RETURN is a
New Adult Paranormal Romance
and is a part of
Jennifer L. Armentrout’s Titan Series. 


Seth is looking to be just as dangerously delicious as we all hoped!!

The Return - Cover
 

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | iBooks | Booksamillion

THE RETURN Excerpt: 

I was a half-blood, but I was also the Apollyon, a child of a pure and a half, a union that had been forbidden for thousands of years because an Apollyon was more powerful than any pure or half could ever hope to be.

And I always got to the traitors’ hideouts before they did, so the Sentinels were usually left with the cleanup, which I was sure absolutely thrilled them.

The first to enter was a female half-blood dressed just as I was. Her black hair was pulled back in a neat little knot at the top of her head. She was older, probably in her mid-thirties. It was pretty rare for a Sentinel to live that long. Her dark skin paled as she stopped just inside the entrance. She clenched titanium daggers in her hands like she expected something vicious to pop out from under the bloody mess.

The female Sentinel tipped her chin up, and the overhead light sliced across her broad cheekbones. She bore a jagged scar under her right eye, the skin lighter in tone. She saw me and froze.

My smile widened.

Behind her, another Sentinel rushed in, almost mowing her over. He saw me and whispered, “Seth.”

He’d said my name like I was the monster under his bed, and I sort of liked that. Then another Sentinel and another rolled in. The fifth took one look at my interior design work and keeled over. Slamming his hands on his knees, he hurled up his dinner.

Nice.

Our society existed completely unknown to the average mortal and had operated under what was known as the Breed Order for thousands of years. The Order had been dismantled, which meant halfs were no longer forced to choose between becoming Sentinels—hunting down violent creatures, protecting pures, enforcing laws, and otherwise usually dying pretty damn quickly on the job—or servants, which was a job that really wasn’t a job, but more like slavery. Since then, many pampered pures had signed on to be Sentinels, making up for the loss of the halfs who’d pretty much said “screw this shit, I’m out.”

This wasn’t necessarily a good thing.

For example, the dumbass puking all over my blood-covered floor was a pure. When he straightened, his face a greenish hue, he backed away, shaking his head. “I can’t,” he gasped out. “I can’t do this.

Then he turned and hauled ass out the doors.
I sighed. This was why we couldn’t have nice things.
THE RETURN Synopsis: 

The Fates are cackling their bony asses off...

It's been a year since Seth made the deal with the gods that pledged his life to them. And so far, the jobs they've given him have been violent and bloody--which is kind of all right with him. But now Apollo has something else in mind for Seth. He's got to play protector while keeping his hands and fingers off, and for someone who really has a problem with restraint, this new assignment might be the most challenging yet.

Josie has no idea what this crazy hot guy's deal might be, but it's a good bet that his arrival means the new life she started after leaving home is about to be thrown into an Olympian-sized blender turned up to puree. Either Josie is going insane or a nightmare straight out of ancient myth is gunning for her.

But it might be the unlikely attraction simmering between her and the golden-eyed, secret-keeping Seth that may prove to be the most dangerous thing of all.

Because history has once again been flipped to repeat.

ARC Review:Rocky Retreat (Six Pack Ranch #7.5) by Vivian Arend

Finding white-hot love in a white-out…
Eight months ago, Lee Coleman met the woman of his dreams…then lost her to another man. He buried his disappointment by throwing himself into work on the family ranch, but when a winter storm leaves him stranded, Lee finds more than shelter in the rustic safety of a hunter’s cabin—he finds a second shot at love.

Rachel Malone’s heart has been broken and stomped on by her cheating ex, and she’s determined to never fall in love again. But a rebound fling? Doesn’t sound like such a bad idea, especially when she’s snowed-in with a gorgeous, sweet-talking Coleman.

Despite their off-the-charts chemistry, Lee makes it clear he wants more than a temporary romp. In fact, he’s made it his mission to put a smile back on her face, even if it means taking it slow and resisting the scorching heat between them. This time around, he wants forever, while Rachel is positive that forever is a fool’s dream.

Lee can’t wait to prove her wrong…

What I Thought About Rocky Retreat

 Rachel retreats to a cabin in the woods to get over the breakup of her six-month marriage, when along comes Lee Colemen. Getting stranded together in the small cabin gives them time to talk, and other things, and it's the beginning of a really sweet novella-sized romance.

I loved everything about this.  The older woman-younger man, his maturity, and her determination to move past her cheating spouse all hit wonderful notes for me in this story. The drama is light, the romance is hot, and the adults all act like adults.  I couldn't have asked for more in a romance, and it was a great little read for this Valentine's Day.

ARC provided for review.


Rocky Retreat as a part of a multi-author COWBOYS LAST ALL NIGHT with all new material. 

Solo release will be February 17. 2014 for a regular cost of $2.99
