Red Queen (Red Queen, #1) 22328546 This is a world divided by blood—red or silver.

The Reds are commoners, ruled by a Silver elite in possession of god-like superpowers. And to Mare Barrow, a seventeen-year-old Red girl from the poverty-stricken Stilts, it seems like nothing will ever change.

That is until she finds herself working in the Silver Palace. Here, surrounded by the people she hates the most, Mare discovers that, despite her red blood, she possesses a deadly power of her own. One that threatens to destroy the balance of power.

Fearful of Mare's potential, the Silvers hide her in plain view, declaring her a long-lost Silver princess, now engaged to a Silver prince. Despite knowing that one misstep would mean her death, Mare works silently to help the Red Guard, a militant resistance group, and bring down the Silver regime.

But this is a world of betrayal and lies, and Mare has entered a dangerous dance—Reds against Silvers, prince against prince, and Mare against her own heart.]]>

But it’s difficult, because you realize Jack and Grace are inseparable.

Some might call this true love. Others might wonder why Grace never answers the phone. Or why she can never meet for coffee, even though she doesn’t work. How she can cook such elaborate meals but remain so slim. Or why she never seems to take anything with her when she leaves the house, not even a pen. Or why there are such high-security metal shutters on all the downstairs windows.

Some might wonder what’s really going on once the dinner party is over, and the front door has closed.]]>

And, what the hell are you doing here?
Let’s start with the most obvious question, shall we?

You’re here, ladies, because you can’t f*ck.

Oh, stop it. Don’t cringe. No one under the age of 80 clutches their pearls.
You might as well get used to it, because for the next six weeks, you’re going to hear that word a lot. And you’re going to say it a lot.
Go ahead, try it out on your tongue. F*ck. F***ck.

Ok, good. Now where were we?

If you enrolled yourself in this program then you are wholly aware that you’re a lousy lay. Good for you. Admitting it is half the battle.

For those of you that have been sent here by your husband or significant other, dry your tears and get over it. You’ve been given a gift, ladies. The gift of mind-blowing, wall-climbing, multiple-orgasm-inducing sex. You have the opportunity to f*ck like a porn star. And I guarantee, you will when I’m done with you.

And who am I?
Well, for the next six weeks, I will be your lover, your teacher, your best friend, and your worst enemy. Your every-f*cking-thing. I’m the one who is going to save your relationship and your sex life.

I am Justice Drake.
And I turn housewives into whores.

After a series of catastrophic misunderstandings and impulsively poor decision-making, Scarlett MacGregor finds herself once again torn between two loves, as different as they may be. Lacking proper closure with their relationship, accompanied by the overwhelming guilt for her role in his devastating downfall, Scarlett resolves to help Mason recover and reclaim his life as a budding rock star. However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.

Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He’s in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he’s partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.

Euphoria is the third installment of Scarlett, Ash, and Mason’s self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender.]]>

Just Breathe (Breathe, #1) 17886627
Gone were the days of innocence, happiness, and dreams. Now her days simply meant attempting to survive. In her mind, her only means for that was replacing her grief with men, booze and the fast life. And for five years, it worked.

When an opportunity to leave the nightmares of her past in Australia opens up, she takes it. Los Angeles beckons - with hopes of late nights, new beginnings, and the promise of a string of endless men to distract her, she can’t wait to dive in.

One thing she didn’t count on was meeting her match.

In the eyes of outsiders, Tate Connors has it all; the ultimate LA bachelor who is content with his lifestyle of wild nights, women and one night stands. He's Mr. Unpredictable with looks that could destroy any woman with one glance.

The craziness of Los Angeles throws them into the chaotic path of each other. Savannah becomes the perfect game, and Tate becomes the ultimate prey. Lines are crossed, emotions are smashed, and the idea of who they truly are begins to be tangled.

However, one thing will become clear.

They are more alike than either one could ever have imagined.]]>

<![CDATA[The Thrill of It (No Regrets, #2)]]> 18457861
Some say love can be an addiction. Others say it's the thing that makes life worth living. Let me tell you everything I know about love...Love isn't patient, love isn't kind. Love is a game, a chase. A thrill. Love is wild and war-like, and every man and woman must fight for themselves. At least that's how it was for me. A high-priced virgin call girl by the time I started college, I was addicted to love and to sex. Even though I've never had either. I controlled love, played it, and held the world in the palm of my hands. Then I fell down from those highs, and I'm being blackmailed for all my mistakes, forced to keep secrets from everyone, except the only guy I don't regret.

Trey...

With all the other women, I knew what they were. They were temporary. They were pills, they were bottles, they took away all the pain, and numbed the awful memories that wore down my ragged, wasted heart. Until I met Harley. She's the only girl I ever missed when she walked away. But now she's back in my life, every day, and there are no guarantees for us, especially since I don't know how to tell her my secrets. What happened to my family. All I know is she's the closest I've ever come to something real, and I want to feel every second of it.

How can you love with no regrets when regret is all you know?]]>

In a high-stakes gamble where love and freedom hang in the balance, a war is waged where the price of losing is a fate worse than death.

Just for Now (Sea Breeze, #4) 15778138
The run down rat-infested trailer he had shared with his alcoholic mother and three younger siblings was now only a place he visited to pay the bills and stock the pantry with food.

He no longer worried about his family starving or living without electricity. The money he made entertaining rich older women more than covered his family’s needs and his own. He had it all figured out. Except�

There was this girl.

She was as innocent as he was tainted.

Amanda Hardy wished her knees didn’t get weak when Preston walked into a room. She hated the fact her heart raced when he flashed his smile in her direction. He had a different girl in his bed every night. He was the kind of boy a smart girl ran from. So, why was she coming up with ways to get close to him? Even when it was obvious he wanted to keep her at a distance.

Maybe her heart knew something the world didn’t. Maybe Preston Drake was more than just a pretty face.]]>

Crashed (Driven, #3) 17880714 When life crashes down around us, how hard are we willing to fight for the one thing we can’t live without, each other?

Life is full of moments.
Big moments.
Little moments.
And none of them are inconsequential.
Every single moment prepares you for that one instance that defines your life. You must overcome all your fears, confront the demons that chase you, and cleanse the poison that clings to your soul or you risk the chance of losing everything.

Mine started the minute Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet. She made me feel. Made me whole when all I thought I could ever be was incomplete. Became the lifeline I never knew I needed. Hell yes, she’s worth the fight…but how do you fight for someone you know you don’t deserve?

Love is full of ups and downs.
Heart stopping highs.
Soul shattering lows.
And none of them are insignificant.
Love is a racecourse of unexpected twists and turns that must be negotiated. You have to break down walls, learn to trust, and heal from your past in order to win. But sometimes it’s the expected that’s the hardest to hold on to.

Colton has healed and completed me, stolen my heart, and made me realize our love’s not predictable nor perfect—it’s bent. And bent’s okay. But when outside factors put our relationship to the test, what lengths will I have to go to prove to him that he’s worth the fight?

Whoever said love is patient and love is kind, never met the two of us. We know our love is worth it—have acknowledged that we were meant to be—but when our pasts crash into our future, will the repercussions make us stronger or break us apart?

Until my senior year, I had everything going for me: excellent grades, a supportive and loving family, not to mention the hottest boyfriend in school. Everything was perfect—until the arrival of Zach Anderson, a parkour loving, school skipping, bad boy delinquent that seemed to bring with him a lot of bad karma.

It can’t be a coincidence that his arrival marks a significant change in my life, can it?

Now, everything has changed. I no longer know who I can trust. And the threatening notes I’m receiving, well it appears those are just the start of my problems�

Hot-Blooded ('Ohana, #1) 22319105 'Ohana is everything ...

When an accident claims her mother’s life, Keahilani Alana must take charge of her family or risk losing what little they have. With an underage brother to care for and no education, she has few options. The door to a heavenly hellish opportunity opens when she stumbles upon a valuable secret her mother left behind on the slopes of an extinct volcano—a legacy that tempts the family with riches beyond their wildest dreams. But the secret is much bigger and more sinister than they realize. As reality unravels and exposes eerie truths about the siblings that should have remained deep under the mountain, Keahilani must either resist the call of her blood or risk being consumed by its darkness.

Blake Murphy is an assassin working to infiltrate a new Hawaiian cartel. His investigation reveals that Keahilani, the sexy surfing instructor he pegged as an informant, is much closer to the drug ring than he thought. Passion ignites between them in the bedroom, but their ironclad ties to opposing interests pit them against each other everywhere else.

When tensions reach the breaking point and her family is threatened, the only cure for Keahilani’s hot-blooded fury is a loaded clip with a body bag chaser.

* HOT-BLOODED is a suspense/thriller that contains drug use and graphic sex, language, and violence. The story is intended to entertain, not to condone or glorify illegal or immoral activities. This book is unsuitable for sensitive readers and those under the age of 18.]]>

Waking in an unfamiliar bedroom in a luxurious mansion, Claire Nichols is terrified to discover that a chance encounter led her into the cruel hands of her abductor, Anthony Rawlings. Claire has no understanding of why she's there, but it's been made abundantly clear--she is now his acquisition and every action has consequences.

Learn the rules to survive.

Facing incomprehensible circumstances, Claire must learn to survive her new reality--every aspect of her livelihood depends upon the tall, dark-eyed tycoon who is a true master of deception. Driven by unknown demons, he has no tolerance for imperfection, in any aspect of his life, including his recent acquisition. Anthony may appear to the world as a handsome, benevolent businessman, but in reality Claire knows firsthand that he's a menacing, controlling captor with very strict rules: do as you're told, public failure is not an option, and appearances are of the utmost importance.

Captivate the captor.

To fit together the pieces of the puzzle, Claire must follow his rules. Will her plan work, or will Anthony become enthralled by Claire's beauty, resilience, and determination, changing the game forever? If that happens, will either of them survive the consequences?

Nobody ever did or ever will escape the consequences of his choices.--Alfred A. Montapert]]>

Pretty Little Things 18045901
We were the lucky few that got a chance to start over. A fake family, a new home and a pretty little life built on lies.

"She was so much stronger than I could ever be. It took far more guts to stand tall in the face of fear than to intimidate the weak."

Sex. Lethal. Sex.

I have no doubts that you will find Colin Blakely's name in the dictionary under many, many adjectives...

Dominant.
Alpha.
Dark.
Sexy.
Delicious.

There isn't an adjective in the dictionary alone that could sum up this dark, slightly twisted, fine specimen of a man, he's just... Colin. Rough around the edges, but a solid heart of pour gold underneath.

Pretty Little Things, like most of Teresa Mummert's novels, took me by surprise. A roller-coaster of twists, turns, sex, darkness, and everything in between. As much as he thinks he shouldn't, Colin Blakely's capacity to love and protect is nothing like I have ever read.

Teresa Mummert has a gift, one that many don't possess. It's the gift of being able to suck in a reader so far they don't see the twist in the story coming.

Pretty Little Things can only be described as one hot, dark, and lethal romance.

*Proceed with caution, panties have been known to spontaneously combust with just the mere mention of Colin Blakely's name...*

Raw (RAW Family, #1) 18468559
Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street.

Best decision I ever made.

Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job.

My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved.

But the saying is true.

The world makes way for those who know where they are going.

That’s me.

I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace.

But then there’s him.

I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me.

He makes me feel.

It’s unconventional.

But it’s real.

I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker.

So am I.

This isn’t a story.

This is my life.]]>

I just don't have them.

Going into this I had no idea what to expect. I hadn't read the synopsis or any reviews. This book was purely read straight from a recommendation and curiosity.

Curiosity killed the cat.

I devoured this book in a couple of hours, all while having a break for a 'breather' and to update my friend on my thoughts throughout the book. Never in my life has a book torn me apart like this one. The relationships, the hurt, the pain, the anguish. The... damn, everything. EVERYTHING.

B.A. Wolfe has some serious skills. Not just her awesome writing, but the way she beautifully wrapped everything up into a dagger shaped book. That not only sliced right threw me, but has completely scarred me and set deep within.

So, I am going to do exactly what my friend did. I am going to tell you to take a chance on a book without looking at the synopsis. Pick it up, read it and fall in love with it.

An amazing debut that can only be described as life changing.]]>

I thought I was going to pass out with all the ugly crying I did with Fading. I'm talking snot down your face, gut wrenching, pillow hugging, kindle throwing tears. Then there is the angst. Oh. My. God. The angst.

If you're want a novel that will leave you smiling, this isn't the book for you.

What Fading will do is push you hard. It will take you to your limits of raw emotion and will test your own strength. Fading will take you by the lungs and squeeze. Hard. Breathless doesn't even describe the feeling of what Fading inflicts onto your lungs.

Fading is an unconventional love story about two people who are brought together through their own pain and hurt. No love story is simple, Fading is no different.

Beck (Corps Security, #3) 18069234 Dee
I’ve always been good at wearing masks. Not letting anyone see the real me. I’m content being the happy-go-lucky best friend. The strong willed boss. The independent woman who doesn’t need a man.

But the truth is I’m just as broken as the rest of you. I’m terrified that all it will take is one person to make all my carefully constructed walls crumble into fine dust. So I guard my heart with everything I have. Determined to never let anyone get close enough to hurt me again.

All is perfect until HE walks into my life. No� he doesn’t just walk. He struts his good-looking, sex-oozing self right into my space and demands that I see HIM. Making me want what I know I can’t have.

So I did the only thing I know how to do.
I run.
But he just won’t let me go.

Beck
The second I see her, I know she will be mine. I see past the gorgeous smiles and heart-stopping laughter. I see HER. She doesn’t want me to know her secrets or the past that haunts her, but I make it my mission to find out.

To make her mine.

She can run all she wants, but it will never be far enough to stop me from coming after her.
She’s it for me and she knows it.
She’s just too scared to admit it.

No cliffhanger, HEA, inter-connected standalones. This book is intended for a mature reading.]]>

Try (Temptation, #1) 17798649 Older cover edition of ASIN B00GM2GOW8


Try � verb: to make an attempt or effort to do something or in this case…someone.

Sex. Logan Mitchell loves it, and ever since he realized his raw sexual appeal at a young age, he has had no problem using it to his advantage. Men and women alike fall into his bed—after all, Logan is not one to discriminate. He lives by one motto—if something interests you, why not just take a chance and try?

And he wants to try Tate Morrison.

Just coming out of a four-year marriage with an ex-wife from hell, a relationship is the last thing on Tate’s mind. He’s starting fresh and trying to get back on his feet with a new job at an upscale bar in downtown Chicago.

The only problem is, Tate has caught the unwavering and unwelcome attention of Mr. Logan Mitchell � a regular at the bar and a man who always gets what he wants.

Night after night Tate fends off the persistent advances of the undeniably charismatic man, but after an explosive moment in the bar, all bets are off as he finds his body stirring with a different desire than his mind.

As arrogance, stubbornness and sexual tension sizzles between the two, it threatens to change the very course of their lives.

Logan doesn’t do relationships. Tate doesn’t do men. But what would happen if they both just gave in and…tried?

My broken love story.]]>
486 Mia Asher Sofie 5
Can you hear that? That my friend, is my brain counting down to detonation.

Ben, Arsen, Ben, Arsen, Ben�

Mia Asher � You are seriously killing me!

You have a decision to make, and boy is it a big one.

On one side you have the devoted husband, lover and all round smoking hot guy. And on the other side is� damn. I struggle to say his name without my mind reeling over one of the hottest book gods that has roamed the indie book world.

I was going into this review hoping that I would be completely unbiased, but screw it. I can’t.

“There’s a twinkle in his eyes as he lowers is smiling mouth to whisper in my ear, “Chill, Dimples. I’m just teasing you…�

GIVE ME SOME ARSEN.

If you want heartbreaking, soul searching, kill you slowly, jaw dropping love. You got it. If you want hot, steamy and my god� face-fanning sex scenes. Yup, it’s there.

“People say that if you play with fire, you’ll get burned. Well, when it comes to Arsen, I not only want to get burned, I want to be incinerated�

Oh god yes! incinerate me Arsen�
Sorry, where were we?

Oh, look! This is where I get to gush about Mia Asher. I love this part.

This woman is just� Mia will you marry me? Seriously! This woman is just crazy awesome. Mia has created such defined characters that you have no idea who the hell you want. Do you want Ben? The doting husband who loves his broken wife, every broken piece of her. Or do you want the sex god that is Arsen?

This book shattered me.
Broke me.
And completely ruined me.

There aren't words to describe how I feel about this book...
Moved.
Emotionally exhausted.
Torn apart.

I have just one question for you�
Ben or Arsen.]]>

Tick, tick, tick.

Can you hear that? That my friend, is my brain counting down to detonation.

Ben, Arsen, Ben, Arsen, Ben�

Mia Asher � You are seriously killing me!

You have a decision to make, and boy is it a big one.

On one side you have the devoted husband, lover and all round smoking hot guy. And on the other side is� damn. I struggle to say his name without my mind reeling over one of the hottest book gods that has roamed the indie book world.

I was going into this review hoping that I would be completely unbiased, but screw it. I can’t.

“There’s a twinkle in his eyes as he lowers is smiling mouth to whisper in my ear, “Chill, Dimples. I’m just teasing you…�

GIVE ME SOME ARSEN.

If you want heartbreaking, soul searching, kill you slowly, jaw dropping love. You got it. If you want hot, steamy and my god� face-fanning sex scenes. Yup, it’s there.

“People say that if you play with fire, you’ll get burned. Well, when it comes to Arsen, I not only want to get burned, I want to be incinerated�

Oh god yes! incinerate me Arsen�
Sorry, where were we?

Oh, look! This is where I get to gush about Mia Asher. I love this part.

This woman is just� Mia will you marry me? Seriously! This woman is just crazy awesome. Mia has created such defined characters that you have no idea who the hell you want. Do you want Ben? The doting husband who loves his broken wife, every broken piece of her. Or do you want the sex god that is Arsen?

This book shattered me.
Broke me.
And completely ruined me.

There aren't words to describe how I feel about this book...
Moved.
Emotionally exhausted.
Torn apart.

I have just one question for you�
Ben or Arsen.

Remy (Real, #3) 17830559
Through it all, there's been one constant: wanting, needing, loving, and protecting Brooke Dumas. This is his story; from the first moment he laid eyes on her and knew, without a doubt, she would be the realest thing he's ever had to fight for.]]>
273 Katy Evans Sofie 5 'I feel seen. Without reproach, disgust. I feel hungered for. Wanted in a way I have never, ever, been wanted.'

When Remy hit my kindle I think I stopped breathing. No, I know I did and I may have screamed a little... okay, a lot.

The lion is back. And this time, we are in his head, his perfectly delicate mind. As we dive into his story, getting his side of his thoughts, his actions... his blackness. He is beauty from pain. A man who was never shown love as a child, just disgust and fear. A man who not only loves with every fibre of his being, but doesn't ask for anything in return.

Remy is a natural born protector, a lion protecting his family. Loving and petting the one person who could bring down THE Remington 'Riptide' Tate to his knees. Brooke.

Brooke is his kryptonite, his love, his fire cracker... his wife. But she can also be his trigger, his switch, that can completely throw him from being 'blue' to 'black' - All in the name of his love for her. To show anyone and anything that Brooke was his.

Never in my life have I been so invested with a set of characters. Never.

Remy blew me away, completely shattering me before picking up the pieces of my broken heart and slowly nurturing them, loving them... right back into place.

Katy Evans has not only given us such perfect characters to fall in love with, but she has done it in a way that proves that love, pain and bipolar always have been, and always will be, REAL.

Fierce love doesn't come around often. But when it does... It completely knocks you off of your feet. No matter how rooted you are to that rough piece of canvas beneath your feet.]]>

“He had sculpted his body into a weapon.�

“Shit. He was perfect. And he was a killer.�

“I would declare war for you.�

Cater Reed is NOT a sweet romance. No, Carter Reed is a dangerous, keep you on the edge of your seat, rip your heart out, hurl your Kindle at any hard object kinda love story.

337 Katy Evans Sofie 5 I fucking adored it.

There is a word I use when something so amazing grips me and won't let go. It is a word I use very rarely, in fact I have used it only once. REAL.

Heart-stopping.

Because that is exactly what happens. One minute my heart is beating in my chest, the next it stops. Completely cutting off the oxygen I desperately need pumping around in my blood. Then my heart suddenly starts pounding, hard and reckless. Bouncing off of the wall of my chest. Sending my head into a foggy blur until I can't see straight. But then I realise it's the tears in my eyes that explains the blurriness.

I can't explain what this creation has done to me. I. Just. Can't.

Katy Evans has not only formed and moulded the most beautiful, god-like creature I have ever come across. But she has also produced an inspiring piece of writing, that not only inspires the writer in me, but will inspire another generation of authors.

A truly amazing sequel that captures the essence of love at it's most fierce.

Fueled (Driven, #2) 17880708 Alternate cover edition of ASIN B00ESJ3S94

Book #2 of the Driven Trilogy

What happens when the one person you never expected suddenly happens to be the one you’ll fight the hardest to keep?

Colton stole my heart. He wasn't supposed to, and I sure as hell didn't want him to, but he crashed into my life, ignited feelings within me that I thought had died forever, and fueled a passion that I never knew could exist.

Rylee fell out of that damn storage closet and into my life. Now I don't think I'll ever be the same. She's seen glimpses of the darkness within me, and yet she's still here. Still fighting for me. She is without a doubt the saint, and I am most definitely the sinner.

How is it the one thing neither of us wanted—neither of us anticipated that fateful night—has us fighting so hard to keep?

He steals my breath, stops my heart, and brings me back to life again all in a split second of time. But how can I love a man who won't let me in? Who continually pushes me away to prevent me from seeing the damaged secrets in his past? My heart has fallen, but patience and forgiveness can only go so far.

How can I desire a woman who unnerves me, defies me, and forces me to see that in the deep, black abyss of my soul there's someone worthy of her love? A place and person I swore I'd never be again. Her selfless heart and sexy body deserve so much more than I'll ever be capable of giving her. I know I can't be what she needs, so why can't I just let her go?

We are driven by need and fueled with desire, but is that enough for us to crash into love?]]>

Can V learn to open her heart to the one man who is desperate to get past those walls she has erected, or will she walk away to protect him?

Kaleb Walker has had his eye on Zoey for close to twenty years, but never before has he considered taking their friendship to the next level, no matter how many fantasies he’s had about her over the years. That doesn’t explain why Kaleb is hell bent on having her � in as many ways as possible.

Dark Light (Dark Light, #1) 17232332 Librarian's Note: This is an alternate cover for ASIN B009YLRCCU

Love. Sex. Magic.

Before her 20th birthday, Gabriella was pretty much clueless about all three. In love with her best guy friend since the age of 14 and too crass and intimidating for most of the male population of Colorado Springs, love and good sex were virtually a myth.

And then there’s magic. Freakin� magic. There’s no way that legend could have a place in her less than exciting life. So why after twenty years of utter obscurity do her adopted parents hit her with the ton of bricks that is her true identity? And how the heck is she supposed to accept all this and become what she was truly created to be?

Lucky for Gabs, sexy as sin Dorian is more than equipped to help her embrace these new revelations. And while everything about him feels oh so good, she soon learns that there’s more behind his crystal blue eyes, chiseled body and exotic beauty. Something dark, menacing and downright unnatural. Yet Gabs is in way too deep to even try to turn away from him now.

Dark Light, Book 1 of the Dark Light Series, is the raw, emotional story of a young woman’s journey of self-discovery in a world that was not meant for her. And her scorching hot, lip-biting addiction for the man she can’t deny, no matter the cost.

Dorian Skotos is Dark. And although that brand of sheer, unrelenting evil is a direct threat to her life, Gabriella is tragically in love with him.

Gabriella knew it was all too good to be true. The way his touch radiated electricity right to her core, the way his ice blue eyes somehow made panties drop involuntarily, how his sexy half-smile crumbled the barriers around her heart…Dorian was extraordinary in every way.

She ignored the alarm bells for the sake of pleasure and a little slice of peace from her mixed-up life. She thought that whatever he was, she could help him. Maybe even change him. But now that the proof of Dorian’s true identity and what he was sent for is staring her in the face, Gabriella can’t deny the inevitable. And confronting that truth could very well slaughter more than just her fragile heart.]]>

Bully (Fall Away, #1) 18090508
We're neighbors, and once, we were best friends. But then, one summer, he turned on me and has made it his mission to screw up my life at every opportunity. I've been humiliated, shut out, and gossiped about all through high school. His pranks and rumors got more sadistic as time wore on, and I made myself sick trying to hide from him. I worried about what was around every corner and behind every door.

So I left.

I spent a year studying abroad and bathed in the freedom of life without Jared. Now I'm back to finish up high school and get the hell out of here forever. I'm hoping that after a year of breathing room, he's moved on and forgotten all about me.

But even if he hasn't changed, I have. I'm not interested in avoiding him or turning the other cheek anymore. We're going to go head to head, because neither of us wants to back down.]]>

<![CDATA[Fear of Falling (Fearless, #1)]]> 17254226
He scared the hell out of me in a way that excited every fiber of my being. It wasn’t the tattoos or the piercings. It wasn’t the warmth that seemed to radiate from his frame and blanket me whenever he was near. It was just…him. The scary beautiful man that threatened to alter 23 years of routine and rituals, and make me face my crippling fear.

My name is Kami and I am constantly afraid. And the thing that scares me the most is the very thing I want.

“Don’t worry,� he smiled, pulling me into the hard warmth of his chest. “I’ve got you. I’ll always catch you when you fall.�

And just like that, Blaine had staked his claim on the untouched part of me that no living soul had ever moved. He had captured every fear, every reservation, and crushed them in the palm of his inked hand.

This is not a story for the faint of heart; this is the story of one woman’s very real struggle through a world against her, the people who hurt her, her real life demons and the people who showed her that every gray sky, no matter how dark, has a sun waiting to break through.

<![CDATA[Playing for Keeps (The Game, #2)]]> 17341528 From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Emma Hart, comes the second book in The Game series, and the story everyone wanted after The Love Game�

She's in love with him.
He's trying not to love her.
One night changes everything.

Aston Banks never meant to get close to Megan Harper � not even for that one night. Haunted by a childhood he refuses to face, he knew she could break through every wall he’d ever built and tear them down without even realizing she was doing it.

Betraying Braden by starting a relationship with Aston wasn’t on Megan’s to-do list, but the second she sees a glimpse of someone other than the arrogant ass she’s come to know, she can’t walk away.

Aston’s childhood is worse than Megan ever guessed, but as he tries and fails to push her away, it’s clear her love is stronger than the demons that cling to him every day. And now, because of it, he finally has to deal with what he’s buried deep down.

What he doesn’t want to face. What he’s fought against for so long. And they have to do it all without Braden finding out. Keeping a relationship secret has never been harder.]]>

Beauty from Pain (Beauty, #1) 17156015
Jack McLachlan has it all—wealth, power, and the title of Australia’s most eligible bachelor. But life at the top comes with its fair share of complications, and Jack has found the perfect solution: carefully arranged, no-strings-attached relationships that last just long enough to keep things fun.

No emotions. No messy breakups. Just three perfect months.

Then Laurelyn Prescott walks into his life.

The gorgeous, fiercely independent American musician is everything Jack didn’t know he was missing. She challenges his rules, breaks down his walls, and turns his world upside down. What starts as a casual arrangement quickly becomes something neither of them expected—something that changes everything.

Jack’s rules were meant to keep his heart safe, but Laurelyn makes him question if some risks are worth taking.

Irresistible and utterly unforgettable, Beauty from Pain is a story about passion, heartbreak, and a love so undeniable, it shatters all the rules.

<![CDATA[Reflected in You (Crossfire, #2)]]> 13596809 mine.

My past was as violent as his, and I was just as broken. We’d never work. It was too hard, too painful... except when it was perfect. Those moments when the driving hunger and desperate love were the most exquisite insanity.

We were bound by our need. And our passion would take us beyond our limits to the sweetest, sharpest edge of obsession...]]>

Bared to You (Crossfire, #1) 13572249 "Gideon Cross came into my life like lightning in the darkness."
""
He was beautiful and brilliant, jagged and white-hot. I was drawn to him as I'd never been to anything or anyone in my life. I craved his touch like a drug, even knowing it would weaken me. I was flawed and damaged, and he opened those cracks in me so easily
Gideon "knew." He had demons of his own. And we would become the mirrors that reflected each others most private wounds and desires.
The bonds of his love transformed me, even as I prayed that the torment of our pasts didn't tear us apart "]]>

Knight & Play (Knight, #1) 16174197
There's only one problem in Sophie Black's life. Her cheating husband...

From the moment Lucien & Sophie meet, the seal is set.

Romantic, emotional & intensely erotic, Knight and Play is the perfect read for lovers of international bestsellers Fifty Shades & Bared To You. Let yourself be swept away by Part One of the Knight series from Kitty French, a romance so hot it'll burn your fingers...

CEO of Knight Inc. Lucien Knight is catch-your-breath gorgeous and damaged by his troubled past in Norway. All grown up and relocated to London, he's built his empire of adult clubs from the ground up to become the gorgeous patron saint of the sex industry. No one knows the dark childhood secrets that have given Lucien a backbone of steel and a heart encased in ice. No one until Sophie Black, that is...

From the moment girl-next-door Sophie accepts the job as Lucien Knight's PA, she understands how Alice must have felt when she tumbled down the rabbit hole. Lucien takes her safe, vanilla life away and plunges her head first into a huge dish of fantasy flavours. Rich, spicy chocolate covered with dark, oozingly lickable sauce? Check. Tutti-frutti with indecently red, glistening cherries on the top? Yes please.

Lucien strips away all of Sophie's inhibitions, and when he instructs her to select three new toys, she soon realises he has more than a game of Monopoly on his mind...

He's opened the door to a whole new pleasure packed world without limits, and Sophie is utterly intoxicated. But how far is she willing to go? And what happens when she has to step back into reality again?

Lucien & Sophie's is a story of star crossed love and forbidden passion, a sexual odyssey that spans the globe and changes both of their lives forever. Let it change yours, too.]]>
