Passion’s Reward Blurb
Worst way to meet a guy? Crash into him. Best way to meet two guys? Crash into them. On assignment to write a series of articles about the seamier side of BDSM, Rachel Adams goes to the town of Passion Lake. Pretending to be a submissive in search of a Dom, she literally collides with two of the hottest men she’s ever met. 
Jake Weston and Roman Sanderson have been looking for their lifetime sub for several years, and Rachel Adams is irresistible. When they discover her subterfuge, they are naturally incensed. To teach her a lesson, they insist she turn herself over to them for one month and allow them to give her the full BDSM experience.
Can they convince her that not only is she is a natural submissive, but that she is their natural submissive?


WARNING: The books in this series contain material that could cause spontaneous combustion of both panties and electronic devices. Read at your own risk. You might (okay, honestly?

Hands gripping her hips, he held her still as he speared his tongue between her labia, licking and fluttering his tongue all around her clit. Shuddering and moaning with pleasure, she gave herself up to the pleasure piercing her. She could only imagine the lascivious sight they made. Roman on his knees in front of her, his dark head between her legs, ravaging her pussy with his talented tongue, Jake pressed against her back side, his big hands covering her breasts as he ravaged her neck with his kisses. The two of them making her writhe and moan as they pleasured her beyond her wildest dreams. 
She knew she didn’t have to imagine it. She could see it. All she had to do was open her eyes. But, somehow, she feared that that simple act would break the spell that held her in its grip and destroy the magic of what was happening to her. If she opened her eyes, that would make everything real. Everything she was doing. Everything that was being done to her. It would no longer be a sensual dream. And it would make her somehow responsible for her own participation in…whatever this was. She’d never done anything like this in her life. And she was shocked with how much she wanted to do it now. She didn’t want to be responsible. She wanted the fantasy to continue. So, she kept her eyes closed, unwilling to break the sensual spell that kept her enthralled.
Roman drew his head back, pushing her panties all the way down around her ankles. He tapped his finger against the side of each ankle, a signal for her to step out.
As she did so, Roman stood and Jake stepped back, releasing her into Roman’s arms. He rubbed his face, wet with her juices, against hers before pulling her body tight against his. Seeking her mouth, he pried it open, letting her taste herself on his lips and tongue. “Sweet,” he murmured against her lips.
Amazingly, the sound of his voice didn’t break the spell, merely added to it. She let out a tiny whimper. It occurred to some distant part of her mind that if she wanted to put an end to this, she’d better do it now, before it was too late. But she had no intention of putting an end to this. She was enjoying his kisses way too much. Kisses that had her squirming and moaning with pleasure. Kisses she found so arousing, hot cream continually gushed out between legs. She’d never been this wet before.
He lifted his head slightly before lowering it again, to place a drugging, open-mouthed kiss against her lips.
“So.” Kiss.
“Fucking.” Kiss.
“Sweet.” Kiss, his mouth lingering on hers before moving off to graze along the curve of her cheek.
Breath held, heart hammering in her breast, Rachel waited, desperate to see where those lips would venture next.
Roman’s hand slid up her back to grasp the back of her head, fisting her hair and using it to tilt her face upward, a move which allowed his lips to go on a journey down her throat, stopping in the tiny hollow at the base of her throat. He licked the sweet indentation, feeling the frantic beating of her heart against his tongue, before gliding back up and swooping in to claim her mouth in another heart-stopping kiss. A kiss that sent arousal surging through her in a wave of surrender that swept away all reason.











From fairies in the garden at age 9 to handcuffs in the boudoir at age 75, Julie’s writing has run the gamut. In between she managed to graduate cum laude with a B.A. in French followed by a Master’s Degree in Library Science. Having thus procured these two necessary but ultimately irrelevant pieces of paper, (Seriously. What can you do with a B.A. in French?) she launched a successful career as a children’s librarian, followed by an even more successful, 30-year career as a professional storyteller and puppeteer. She published Kidstuff, an award-winning, monthly newsletter, as well as a book, Puppets, Poems and Songs, both major language arts resources for early childhood educators.
At various points in her life, if asked what she would like to be, her answer would have been (in rough chronological order, since some of these lofty ambitions overlapped): a fairy, a princess, a ballerina, Nancy Drew, Cherry Ames, a paleontologist (until she realized that paleontologists spend much of their lives camping), Scarlett O’Hara, thin and beautiful, and an actress. Now, at age 76, her answer to that question would most likely be, “younger”.
Followed closely, of course by bestselling author. Oh, and a princess. Some dreams just never die.

Review: Sex Material by Victoria Ashley

Synopsis

This enemies-to-lovers romance is sure to set your Kindle on fire! Get ready for extra heat in this standalone from New York Times Bestselling Author, Victoria Ashley.

Sex Material…

It’s what I’m known around town for.

A rock-hard body, covered in tattoos with a sizeable bulge that women spend their nights fantasizing about.

Women track me down, needing someone that will take them rough without holding back.

They find me because they need a distraction from reality. They need something to get their mind off of the boyfriend who screwed them over or the job promotion they got passed over on at work.

Sometimes it’s just because they need someone reckless in the bedroom before settling down with the right one.

‘Cause I’m not that guy.

Nowhere close.

I’m not the suit wearing, flower-buying guy you take home to meet the parents. I’m not the guy who will make you feel all warm and fuzzy inside.

Not anymore.

I was boyfriend material once. Would’ve even made a good husband. Until one night changed everything.

These women come to me because they need an escape to cope with the real world, but none of them know I need it more than them. I need something to make me feel alive. Something to get my heart beating again.

Then Cami shows up in my hometown, broken-hearted and pissed off at the world, needing an escape from her cheating ex.

She’s the only one that doesn’t want to use my body. In fact, she wants nothing to do with it and has no problems telling me so.

She’s interested in one thing only from me—to move into my rental property. But the problem with that is the more we fight, the deeper she buries herself in my soul.

Sex material is what I’m good at, but for the first time, it may not be enough.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

After catching her boyfriend cheat on her Cami is just done. Cami goes to her BFF to figure out what to do and decided she wants to move into the house being fixed next door. Cami interrupts Jensen who’s preparing the house to be rented out and she doesn’t like him but Jensen likes her fire. Jensen is a jerk and knows women only want him for his body and he’ll deliver but just once but once his new tenant gets under his skin he’s not that much of a jerk anymore. This book was hot! They chemistry between Cami and Jensen was amazing and I couldn’t stop reading! They found love with each other when they weren’t looking for anything and it was an amazing story to read.

Hungry For More by Alexa Riley!

Synopsis

Sage Carter has spent her whole life surrounded by her family that treats her like a child. When she finally decides to live life on her own, it’s still under the shelter of her brother’s apartment. But the day before Thanksgiving, his business partner comes to visit and just so happens to find her in the kitchen…in her underwear. Can she make it through the holiday without dying of embarrassment? Or will the incident be the spark that lights the fire from within?

Jensen Powell has done things in his own way on his own timeline. When he’s forced to go home with his business partner for Thanksgiving, he doesn’t expect to find a curvy bombshell waiting for him. One look and she belongs to him, if only she’ll give in. He hasn’t had a reason to be thankful until now, and he’s making the most of it.

Warning: This Turkey Day romance is stuffed full of all your favorites. It’s warm and sweet with all the guilty pleasures you’re after. Go ahead and get second helpings. Nobody is looking.

My thoughts 💭

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Sage has been sheltered by her family after an incident since they feel that she’s too trusting or naive. Jensen is a hot, surly jerk and as soon as he lays eyes on Sage he knows he must have her. Sage and Jensen’s chemistry was sooo hot I loved it. This book was short and steamy and I definitely recommend reading this!

•Release Blitz/ARC Review• Vlad by Stacey Rourke

Title: Vlad
Series: Veiled #2
Author: Stacey Rourke
Genre: Paranormal Fiction
Release Date:

History believes me to be a merciless savage. A terror upon the Earth known as The Impaler. Archaic lore whispers I am the first of the vampire lineage.
These claims … are all painted in bloody truth.
Now, while the world watches in fear, a war is brewing. Humans are targeting vampires in merciless attacks to force us back into the shadows.
They woke me to be their weapon.
They know not my loathing for my own kind.
Even I can’t say for certain whose side I’m on.
I have trembled before the darkness rooted in the Nosferatu bloodline. Been forced to drink of its bitter sacrament. They refer to me as The Son of The Dragon, and I laugh. For I, alone, know that malevolent essence is one no man could ever tame.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
I enjoyed this book and it ends with a cliffhanger 😩! You have to read the first book Veiled first for better enjoyment of this one! I absolutely loved Vlad and getting to know his story. I love a good Dracula tale and this book doesn’t disappoint! I can’t wait to read the next book!

•Book Tour/ARC Review• Good Gone Bad by Giana Darling!

Title: Good Gone Bad
Series: The Fallen Men Series #3
Author: Giana Darling
Genre: Erotic Romance
Release Date:
They say one action doesn’t define you. 

I killed a man. Stabbed him in the neck and licked the blood off my lips after I did it. 

Still, one action doesn’t define you. 

I could have called anyone. My father, the Prez of The Fallen MC, our family lawyer, my best friend, Lila, or my brother, King. 

I didn’t. 

Instead, I called Lionel Danner, the police officer renowned for taking down the Nightstalkers MC. The man who had been my father’s arch nemesis for decades. The man who hated everything I stood for. A man who had disappeared from my life without explanation three years ago. 

I called him. 

And maybe one action doesn’t define you, but killing a bad man and calling in the good changed my life and it sure as hell changed his. 

The third book in the Fallen Men Series. A standalone featuring Harleigh Rose and Officer Lionel Danner.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🦁🌹
I thought the other books were hot but Dirty Dom Danner is totally up there with Daddy Zeus! This book was sooo good I was hooked from the start. It gave me all the feels! The drama and action was so good! I even started taking my time because I didn’t want it to end😂! The chemistry between Harleigh Rose and Lion is freaking amazing. They both were absolutely bada— and I can’t wait until the next book!
*Received ARC for honest review💙


Author Lee Piper – “So yeah, Good Gone Bad is hot AF. But it’s also more than that. It’s layered, multifaceted, and above all, beautifully written.”


Musings of the Modern Belle – “Good Gone Bad is not just a super steamy romance, it is not just a suspenseful story about taking down a corrupt MC, it is a reflection of how humans aren’t just good or bad. It is a look at how we are both, how we can find our match in another, someone who just inherently gets you. It is about living wild and free while still having limits and being able to surrender and submit for those you love. It is an epic ride I implore you to take. Giana and Danner and Rosie won’t let you down.”


Author R. Scarlett – “I am so so in love with this book and Giana’s talent for creating addicting stories and beautiful complex characters.”

Giana Darling is a Canadian romance writer who specializes in the taboo and angsty side of love and romance.

My thoughts 💭

3.5 stars ✨ I enjoyed the book but the back and forth between Emilia and Dom got a little old. They both had mafia dealings or ties and didn’t want to drag the other further into trouble. Besides that I loved Emilia’s take no stuff attitude and Dom’s alpha maleness lol! I did enjoy the suspense and action.

For as long as Arell Rivers can remember, she has been lost in a book. During her senior year in college, she picked up a romance novel … and instantly was hooked on the genre.
Arell started writing her first novel because the characters were screaming at her to do so. The story started coming out in her dreams and attacking her in the shower, so she took to the computer to shut them up. But they kept talking.
Born and raised in New Jersey, Arell has what some may call a “checkered past.” Prior to discovering her passion for writing romance, she practiced law, was a wedding and event planner and even dabbled in marketing. Arell lives with a very supportive husband who doesn’t care that the bed isn’t made or dinner isn’t on the table. When not in her writing cave, Arell is found making dinner in the InstantPot, working out with Shaun T or hitting the beach.
Arell is a member of the New Jersey chapter of Romance Writers of America.
