PIN-UP PILOT
BY CLAIRE RAYE

Alexa Purdy has sworn off men, and he’s her worst nightmare.

Arrogant and flirtatious, and now International Airlines’ newest pilot, Jake Campbell has a panty-dropping smile and a body to match. But he’s no match for Alexa’s cold heart.

Plagued by a bad reputation and a bitter divorce, Alexa is determined to make a name for herself outside of the bedroom. As International Airlines’ only female pilot she’s had to work twice as hard and she won’t let someone like Jake bring her down. 

But she’s surprised to find he’s nothing like she expected him to be. Even more surprising is her growing attraction to him and his obvious attraction to her—an attraction that causes her to question whether swearing off men is such a good idea after all.

But when Jake’s past resurfaces, she realizes getting close to him may be her biggest mistake of all.

FILTHY FIREFIGHTER
BY EMMA LOUISE

He looks like he belongs on stage, stripping out of his firefighter uniform, not running into a burning building to save me. But thank God he did.

When the smoke clears and my eyes focus on my savior, one look at his gorgeous face and tattoo-covered muscles, I know he’ll be too much for me to handle. It’s a good thing I never have to see him again, right?

Except, losing my home to a fire means finding somewhere new to live, and guess who just happens to be my new roommate? Hayden Flynn. The filthy-talking firefighter who’s been front and center of all of my dreams lately.

Our attraction is undeniable, but it’s the adventures he takes me on that has me falling for him, each new experience chipping away at the wall I’ve been hiding behind. 

He wasn’t supposed to see past my scars.

He wasn’t supposed to break me apart piece by piece, then put me back together again.

He was just supposed to be a firefighter. I didn’t expect him to end up saving my life, in more ways than one.

DIRTY LIAR
BY JANICE M. WHITEAKER

Dexter Truitt ruined my life.

His impossibly improbable act set off a chain of events I couldn’t make up if I tried, each one stealing a little more from me.

My relationship. My business.

My reputation.

But even bad times have to come to an end. I thought that was the case when Valerie slid onto the barstool next to mine and asked me to buy her a drink. 

She was gorgeous. Driven. Smart.

And didn’t know who in the hell I was.

Didn’t know why every other woman in town avoids me like the plague.

Valerie was a ray of light when I needed it most, and I couldn’t get enough of her. Being with her made me think I could have it all again.

Showed me I could have more.

All I had to do was reach out and take it.

But all good things must come to an end too.

And our ending was one I didn’t see coming.

LAYOVER LOVER
BY JEANNINE COLETTE
& LAUREN RUNOW

Flying the friendly skies has been more than just a job to me. It’s my home.

Ten years ago I ran away from everything I’ve known and vowed never to return. That is, until my flight is cancelled due to weather, and I’m stuck in San Francisco. 

Fate is not on my side when I end up in an Uber ride share with the one man I thought I’d never see again. 

Zack Hunt was my high school sweetheart, and the boy I walked away from without a note saying goodbye. Except, he’s no longer a boy. No, this man is gorgeous, intense, and heated at the sight of me. 

The anger searing off him is nothing compared to the way my heart pounds from seeing him again. Words are said. Feelings are crushed. But when he invites me in to his bar to hash out our past, I find myself following him in, desperate for more. 

The line between past and present is blurred when Zack challenges me to a dare—come back home with him to see what I walked away from. 

Call me a glutton for punishment, but I do. 

Then I challenge him right back to live a day in my shoes. 

We drive home to rediscover the past 
We fly abroad to live in the present.
When we stop moving, we realize we may never have a future. 

Layover Lover is a second chance romance, aligned by fate. Can two lost souls really find love again on a layover? Or do they need to keep flying?

BRITISH BANGER
BY JENNIFER WOODHULL

British accents should come with a warning label. When they’re attached to deep, baritone voices that belong to sexy, cocky men, you should have to sign a waiver.

Most people wouldn’t touch short-term rental properties, but since my business partner took off with my client list, I need every deal I can get. Enter, one insanely sexy and completely exasperating Camden Reid.

The smug executive found fault with every property I showed him. Too cramped. Too feminine. Too far from a decent pub.

His demands were ridiculous, and I couldn’t wait to be rid of him and his British bangers.

Somewhere between the first property and the zillionth, though, my attraction to Camden grew impossible to ignore.

His insane demands finally met, the arrogant Adonis proposed we christen his new temporary home.

Little did I know how addicted I’d become, or just how unforgettable my time with Camden would be.

After all, I knew we had an expiration date.

All good things must come to an end, right?
Except our ending was one I didn't see coming.

DOCTOR HEARTBREAKER
BY KATHRYN M. HEARST

The nurses call me Dr. Heartbreaker. They say I put the hot in hot-shot cardiologist.

Not that it matters. I never stick my tongue depressor in my co-workers.

What can I say? I play by a set of personal rules.

Even if those rules eliminate 99.9% of the woman I come in contact with from my dating-pool.

Even if those rules landed me on a blind date with Emily, my childhood sweetheart, a woman I hadn’t seen since I broke her heart freshmen year of college.

Let’s just say the evening was a disaster. She took one look at me, and it was…

Date over. Do not pass go. Do not collect your two-hundred dollars.

The thing is, I can’t stop thinking about her. She was my first kiss, and every other first that two people could share.

She’s the only woman I’ve ever loved.

How can I make her understand what really happened between us when she wants nothing to do with me?

How can I let her walk away again, when it could mean another ten years wondering…what if?

The answer’s simple. I can’t.

Unfortunately, the solution to my dilemma is a five-year-old Colombian girl with a deadly heart condition. The same little girl Emily’s non-profit organization brought to the United States to receive life-saving surgery.

When the chief of staff informs me, I need to improve my public image because my bedside manner sucks--not THAT bedside manner. I’m just fine between the sheets, thank you very much—I agree to perform the girl’s operation…

Because spending more time with Emily is worth the risk.
Even if it means I have to break every rule in my playbook.

Even if it means destroying myself in the process.

I’ll do anything for a second chance with the woman who’s owned my heart since the first-grade.

FATEFUL FIGHTER
BY KATHY COOPMANS

“I want a divorce.”
No woman wants to say those words. No woman who is still in love with her husband anyway.

Our marriage has been tested, repeatedly.
It’s been dragged through tabloids and rumors and fans that just won’t let us be.
Through it all, we’ve remained unbreakable.

We didn’t have the perfect marriage because perfection doesn’t exist.
But we had love. We had trust. We had chemistry that to this day sets everything inside me on fire.

Then one life-threatening statement creates a chain of lies that leaves me no choice but to say those horrible words.

I never thought I’d say them.

I never thought my husband would ignore me when I did.

I never thought the man I love would sever the vows we took.

I never thought I’d pack my bags and move from our home in L.A. to our getaway cottage in Hermosa Beach.

Then again, I never thought he'd choose the fate of his life over his fate with me.

BRAINY BARTENDER
BY NATALIE ANN

Add one hidden past. A dash of a pretend role. A shot of steamy chemistry. Put it in a shaker, then pour for one exotic cocktail on the rocks!

Wesley Templeton was determined to not follow in his namesake’s path as a Cardiac Surgeon. Was he smart enough for it? Of course, he was a genius after all. Did he have the time and patience to master the craft? Absolutely. Was he going to let his controlling grandfather hold his trust fund over his head until he achieved what was expected of him? Hell no!

Harper Fairchild was the redheaded stepchild. Literally. Smart, nerdy, picked on, and often thought of as an outcast. Her social life was a dismal as her family relationships, so she left when she could and made a new life somewhere else. Unfortunately she found it was hard to break the mold of what cast her as undesirable. Until she loses a bet with a coworker and has to be made-over for a blind date. When that turns into another disaster she escapes to a bar to nurse her emotional wounds, striking up a conversation with the sexy bartender and wondering if she could keep up the ruse of the confident sexy chick she was pretending to be.

Cocky Hero Club

Dark Dream (Dark, #6.5) by Christine Feehan

Dark Dream by Christine Feehan
SUMMARY 


She’s known him since she was fifteen. Every night, he is with her: his face, his voice. Tonight, Sara Marten will meet the man who is both angel and demon, salvation and temptation: Falcon—the Carpathian, the banished hero. Tonight, Sara will meet the dark-eyed destroyer destined to be her mate.

MY REVIEW 



Falcon and Sara

I am Falcon and I will never know you, but I have left this gift behind for you, a gift of the heart. 

Sara fell in love with Falcon before she even met him. Her secret talent is to know the history of an object when she touches it. When she was a teenager, she discovered an old diary with letters of a man written for his lifemate. This man was Falcon and although Sara fell in love with him, she thought that they could never be together. Surely even if Falcon was alive, he would be too old for her.

Sara’s parents have been killed by an evil vampire and nowadays she has been in Romania helping some homeless children with psychic powers. One night they are saved from the evil vampire by a stranger, i.e. Falco who just came back to Romania.
Sara recognises her soulmate from the old diary, but she does not trust him immediately.

Sara went perfectly still beneath him, staring up into that face. For one long moment time stopped. The terror receded slowly, to be replaced by haunted wonder. "I know you," she whispered in amazement. 

Their story takes place at the Carpathian mountains and it is very sweet and compact, despite the fact that it is a short novella.




Dark Fire (Dark, #6) by Christine Feehan

Dark Fire (Dark, #6) by Christine Feehan

SUMMARY 



"There is always a price to pay."

So Darius warned her when she accepted a position with his traveling troupe. And gazing mesmerized at the merciless slash of his mouth, the implacable resolve on his face, the soulless emptiness of his black eyes, Tempest was afraid to ask what it was.

She had always been different, apart from others. From the moment his arms closed around her, enveloping her in a sorcerer's spell, Darius seemed to understand her unique gifts. But did his kiss offer the love and belonging she sought, or a danger more potent than his own panthers?

Somewhere deep inside herself, Tempest, realized she knew the answer. She had no choice but to accept the velvet stroke of his tongue, 'submit to the white-hot heat piercing her skin, welcome an erotic pleasure like no other. . . .



MY REVIEW 


Darius and Tempest Trine

Another story about The Dark Troubadours band. Lonely Tempest aka Rusty accepts a position as a mechanic with the traveling band. She is a human girl without family and she values her privacy. But then she will meet Darius, the dangerous brother of Desari and she will not be alone ever again. Because apparently she is Darius’ lifemate. Her unique talents including her affinity with the animals and especially the large cats make her a suitable candidate to become the Carpathian’s mate.

Rusti stared up at him, measuring her options. Somewhere deep inside herself, she knew that Darius had taken away her choices. He would not allow her to leave. She saw that in the merciless line of his mouth, the implacable resolve stamped on his features, and his soulless black eyes. She could pretend if she wanted to, leave it unspoken between them, not challenge him. Power clung to him like a second skin. She had been in dangerous situations before, but this felt entirely different. She wanted to run... and she wanted to stay. 

Bossy Darius takes care of his family since he was a little kid. Now it's his turn to find his personal happiness and claim his lifemate. Since Tempest is just a mere human, it is awesome the fact that he gives her some time to accept her new reality.

Tempest is a strong independent girl She has learn to be a survivor since a young age while she was raised by drug addicts, but somehow she can not avoid trouble. Darius has no idea what to do with her and he keeps saving her continually.

“And stop that, too,” she said decisively, despite the fact that he made her hungry for him.
“Stop what?”
“Stop looking at me that way, it’s definitely out. You can’t look at me that way. It’s cheating.”
“How am I looking at you?” His deep voice dropped even lower, the cadence soft and husky. Mesmerizing. “Okay, that’s out, too. No talking in that tone of voice,” she declared staunchly. “And you know very well what you’re doing. Act normal.”
His white teeth gleamed at her, nearly stopping her heart. “I am acting normal, Tempest.”
“Well, then, that’s out, too. No acting normal.” 


So cute and funny!

Moreover, in this book Barack finally claims Syndil as his lifemate.

BOOK COVER REVEAL: Play My Game by Lara Adrian



Story Synopsis

New York Times bestselling author Lara Adrian returns to the sizzling, emotional world of the 100 Series with Play My Game, a contemporary romance between a tormented, brilliant painter and the beauty he is determined to have at any cost.
She stands out like a flame in the dark. Out of place in my orbit, she is a bright splash of color in an abyss of darkness. An innocent in a den of sin. And I, Jared Rush, am a master of corruption.
Like my paintings—dark, carnal images that have crowned me the king of the avant-garde art world while also making me a very rich man—I don’t flinch away from my baser instincts. And now, every one of those instincts is hungry for the fresh-faced beauty who made the mistake of wandering into my lair.
I don’t know her name yet, but that’s inconsequential. I know who she belongs to. And while she has nothing to do with the bad blood that’s been festering inside me for decades, I can’t help thinking about that old, unsettled score. I’m thinking about payback. And I already have a price in mind. One that begins with her.
When it comes to getting what I want, I always play to win. But in the end, will the cost of my vengeance be more than I can bear to lose?
While this novel is Book 5 in the 100 Series, featuring characters introduced in earlier books, PLAY MY GAME can be read as a complete standalone with a swoon-worthy HEA and no cliffhangers.

Dark Challenge (Dark, #5) by Christine Feehan

Dark Challenge by Christine Feehan
SUMMARY 


Julian Savage was golden. Powerful. But tormented. For the brooding hunter walked alone, always alone, far from his Carpathian kind, alien to even his twin. Like his name, his existence was savage. Until he met the woman he was sworn to protect...

When Julian heard Desari sing, rainbows swamped his starving senses. Emotions bombarded his hardened heart. And a dark hunger to possess her flooded his loins, blinding him to the danger stalking him. And even as Desari enflamed him, she dared to defy him with mysterious, unparalleled feminine powers. Was Desari more than his perfect mate? Julian had met his match in this woman, but would she drive him to madness... or save his soul?
 




MY REVIEW 


Julian Savage and Desari

Julian is a another Carpathian on the verge of turning into an evil vampire. He is the twin brother of Aidan that we met in Dark Gold. 

Julian has pretty much has given up hope of meeting his life mate and soul saviour. And then one day he hears Desari sing and he can see the world with colours again.

He heard the woman's voice. Haunting, mystical notes that hung in the air like silver and gold shimmering with fire. He actually saw the notes, saw the silver and gold dancing in front of his eyes. Julian stopped dead in his tracks, shock ripping through him. He stared at the hallway. The tattered, faded wallpaper was edged with red. It had been well over eight hundred years since Julian had seen anything in color. 

Besides Desari, the book introduces the members of the rest of the band “The Dark Troubadours”: Darius, Syndil, Barack, Dayan, and Savon. 
All six children had survived when their parents were killed thanks to Darius’ strength of will. Unfortunately Savon became a lost case a few months before the events of this book when he attacked Syndil.

Desari is a Carpathian, so she is more willing to accept a lifelong mate in comparison to the human girls who discover suddenly the world of immortal Carpathians and Vampires. 
Still she loves her family very much. She can accept Julian as long as her family accepts him and as long as he does not cause any troubles and takes her away.

Julian is a very easygoing guy, but there is no way that he will leave Desari alone. I love his interactions with strong willed, straightforward and overprotective Darius. 

“I thought you were planning on talking him to death," Darius informed the golden bat dryly as he himself shape-shifted from a black bat to a feathered and much more powerful predator.
"Someone had to do something while you were playing with your rock patterns," Julian replied easily, allowing iridescent feathers to erupt along his own body, becoming a raptor more than able to keep up with his companion's aggressive flight.
They began to fly side by side easily toward the forest where they had left Desari. "I could do no other than protect the man of my sister's choosing." Darius managed to make it sound as if his sister had a hole in her head.
Julian snorted. "Protect me? I do not think so, old man. You were the one standing back in the shadows while I destroyed the beast."
"I had to ensure you came to no harm through other traps and snares. You certainly wasted enough time with the undead," Darius replied softly.” 


Julian also has a deadly and dark secret since he was a kid. As long as his secret is still alive, no person close to him will be safe. I liked this twist, but I think it was resolved too fast.

Horndog Barack and soul tortured Syndil finally have the beginning of their story in this book.

Excerpt

(unedited)

Sai

I leave the dining room and walk down the passage I know leads to the guest condos. Before the entrance to the wing she’s staying in, I notice a curtain flapping in the breeze and I spot her standing out on the balcony, her dark hair blowing around her. Like a sea siren, I think, everything about her calling out to me. I walk up behind her, caging her with both my hands on either side of her waist. She stiffens against my chest, and immediately turns in my arms, her eyes wide, beautiful, everything.
“What the hell are you doing here?”
“I’m supposed to apologize.” I tell her. The smell of lavender from her hair surrounding us.
“Whatever for? Entitled assholes like you can say and do whatever they want right? I have had my fair share of that growing up.” She places her hands on my chest and pushes against me, but realizing she’s up against a brick wall, makes her drop her hands to her sides.
I lift my hands to her face, cupping one cheek, I trace my fingers over her lips and she sucks in a breath. “You make me want to anger you, so I can extinguish those flames in your eyes. I want you to look at me, the way you look at him. Like you don’t hate me.” We both know who I mean.
“He’s not an asshole like you are.” She bites back.
“How would you know? I’ve known him my entire life.”
“No-one is as cruel as you are, Sai.” When she says my name, my mouth quirks upon its own accord. There’s anger in her gaze, but there’s want too, need, desire, and all the things I want to claim as my own. My hand slips down the side of her dress, resting on her hips, my fingers digging into them.
“I'm cruel, guzel. I hurt you, but I can also make you feel things like no-one else can.” My hand traces up her dress, and I cup a breast. “I can make you scream my name, I can make you fall to your knees.” I whisper and she shivers. My hands continue down the length of her body.
“Tell me to stop. Tell me to leave you alone, but mean it. If you don’t mean it, don’t say a thing.”
“Stop.” She says breathlessly. My hands lower, until it reaches the hem of her dress. I grip her silk thighs and I’m suddenly heady with the bourbon and the scent of her.
“You’re lying. I know when you’re lying. You can’t look at me.”
“This is not real. This is not real.” She whispers and I smile at her.
“What isn’t real Prensesim?”
“You, me, this?”
“But I’m here, and you are, and I’m making you feel things you’ve never felt before.
“I dreamed about it.” Her eyes are closed, her lips parted.
“So you do dream about me?” I run my nose along her lobe. “What do you dream, guzel?” I whisper in her ear, placing a kiss on her earlobe. My fingers continue to caress her thighs, moving much higher than it should. I don’t fucking care. She sucks in a breath and I lean in and lick along her neck. She tilts her head, granting me access.
“That you were-” she whispers. “Touching me.”
“Do you want that? Me, touching you, right here, now, for the world to see?”
“I-” She’s fucking lost in euphoria and I know I’m the only one who can make this woman feel like this. “It’s wrong.” She whispers.
I bunch up her dress right there on the balcony, anyone can walk out here and see, but I’m entranced. The fact that she’s dreaming about me makes my dick strain against the material of my pants. I cup her sex, and her panties are already soaked. Her eyes fly open, violet orbs that plead for me to stop and proceed all at once, I rip them off with one hand. “Be very quiet.”
Slipping my hands between her slit, I rub my finger over her clit, then circle it. She moans against my chest, and it’s the sexiest sound. “Do you like this?” She feels soft velvety to the touch and I want to taste her on my tongue. I want to hurt her, but my desire to taste her is stronger.
She nods, and I drop to my knees, I put one slender thigh over my shoulder and dive right in, lapping her sweet cum, as I push a finger into her, crooking it until she cries out.
“Oh, God.” She moans.  
“Shh, or I’ll stop.” She grips my hair, tugging me between her thighs. I start to suck on her clit, knowing it’ll drive her crazy. She tastes like my favorite dessert. I curl a finger inside her while sucking her clit into my mouth and her legs shake as she orgasms in my mouth. I ravage her juices until she comes down from her high. She looks down at me, her eyes wide. I stand, and pull her dress down. “I’m keeping this,” I tuck her panties in my pocket, and disappear inside, winking at her astonished face over my shoulder.
I return to the dining room, and Ravi and Amelia stare at me. Amelia is taking her seat. “Is she okay?” Amelia’s voice is laced in malice.
“I wouldn’t know. Didn’t find her.” Amelia’s eyes meet mine and I know she’s seen me devour her friend. The thing is she doesn’t give a fuck. She hates me as much as I hate her. Ravi stares at me knowingly. “You just couldn’t help yourself, could you?”
I smirk, my mind made up. I’m going to have my little guzel, one way or another. I just have to play this game with caution. The fact that I know she wants me too is going to make it a whole lot harder to stay away. I dig into the crème Brule set in front of me, but nothing compares to the one I just had.
