synopsisgreen

*This book is #2 in the ‘Bama Boys series. While it can be read as a standalone, it is a continuation of book #1 and is meant to be read after Forever Red.*

Putting others needs before his own was all Mike Carson had ever done.

First, it was the friends he loved more than family. Then it was his country. By nineteen, he was a father, a husband and fighting in a war not many people believed in. After an accident ended his career and his life fell apart, he filled his days keeping screaming fans from reaching the most famous country rock star in the world. And, pining after a woman who would never love him.

Then, everything changed.

He thought he could handle anything that was thrown his way. He thought running my security detail would be the easiest job he’d ever had. He thought he’d be able to keep me safe without getting attached.

He was wrong.

They call me reckless, selfish, and slutty. In reality, I’ve just stopped caring what everyone else thinks. I’m determined to have some fun, to live life my way, and to make Mike realize that being a little selfish isn’t the worst thing in the world.

I think we both have our work cut out for us.

**Book contains graphic language and adult content.**

Excerptgreen

The knock on the door drifted through my dreams, but I wasn’t ready to greet the day. An arm tightened around me, bringing my back closer to a toned chest, and I smiled. Last night had been amazing. So had this morning when Mike had woken me up with his tongue.

There were many things I’d seen while on tour with Nate—national monuments, wonders of the world, Mother Nature’s miracles. Nothing, and I mean nothing, was better than waking up to the view of Mike’s face between my thighs. The thought alone had me squeezing my legs together and pushing back into his warmth.

I had just started to drift back into unconsciousness when a door shut somewhere in the distance.

“Wakey, wakey, eggs and bakey!” Lia’s voice, way too perky that early in the morning, called out from the porch.

Mike growled out an inaudible response in his sleep, and I smiled, in complete agreement. When she called again, though, my subconscious wouldn’t let me ignore it and I was suddenly very awake. And very naked. Next to an equally bare Mike. I sat up in a panic.

Lia was leaning against the open French doors, laughing silently. “Morning, sunshine.”

Not only was she too energetic after drinking as much as she had the night before, she was too fucking happy about walking in on us. “This isn’t what it looks like.”

Her laughter bubbled out. “No?”

Before I could answer, a thick arm wrapped itself around my waist, making me jump in surprise, and pulled me back to the bed. Rolling over me, so his back was to the door, sheltering me, he kissed the tip of my nose. “Hello, beautiful.” He didn’t let me respond before he lifted his middle finger toward our friend. “It’s exactly what it looks like. Now fuck off.”

“I really wish I could.” The joy in her voice was clear, making me roll my eyes. “But we have to be on the road in fifteen minutes.”

“Ever hear of a fucking phone?” Mike asked, irritation clear.

Lia actually tsked at him, the way a mother or sister would. “Somebody didn’t get enough sleep last night.”

“I swear to fucking Christ, Lee…” Mike growled back.

Lia either didn’t take the threat seriously, or she didn’t care, laughing again. “Both of your phones went straight to voice mail, so I volunteered to come down and get you.” Clapping her hands, she continued. “Up, up. We’ve gotta get moving.”

Mike rolled his eyes. “Do not move.” Looking over his shoulder, he spoke to her. “I’m not getting out of this bed until you leave.”

“Please. It isn’t like I haven’t seen it before.”

Mike’s head jerked back to me when my body stiffened as the shock of that statement rocked me to my core.

“No.” He shook his head, reading my thoughts. “No.” I felt the blood drain from my face as a million different thoughts flooded my mind. A giant palm cupped my cheek and he leaned in to kiss me, as if trying to force my panic away. His thumb slid over my cheek as he spoke, “Clarify that, Lee.”

Blurb
 
Tucker Winslow was twenty-four, and the only son of a 4-Star Navy Admiral. His Father always expected that Tucker would follow in his footsteps, but he had other plans. He had his sights set on moving to Alaska and following his lifelong dream of fishing for king crab on the Bering Sea. He was charming, witty, and his Mom was always his best friend. Then she became ill, and his whole world was turned upside down. They spent her last month’s laughing, and singing the wrong lyrics to 80’s music, just like they’d always done.
Gracie Madison married the man of her dreams when she was only twenty-two. Now, thirteen years later, she was a widow, trying to figure out how to get by without her best friend. She loves 80’s music, driving with the top down, and snacking on greasy food. Her sister’s family lives in Seattle, and they’ve finally persuaded Gracie to throw caution to the wind and leave Boston behind.
Both hop in their cars and head for the Northwest Territory. But, when Tucker’s car breaks down he is forced to hitch-hike the rest of the way. When these two meet, the bond is instantaneous. Their losses connect them in a way that’s impossible to ignore, and they form a friendship that helps soothe wounds that go far too deep to heal. They laugh, they cry, they blast 80’s music and sing off-key, and they stop at every tourist trap they can find along the way. Then, as it always does, one night their laughter turns to lust and they both give in, knowing it will change everything they’ve come to rely on.
Losing someone you know and love can be the hardest thing in the world. So why does losing someone you’ve just met, yet have come to depend on, hurt twice as much?
Join Tucker and Gracie as they embark upon the adventure of a lifetime, and end up on a journey toward finding happiness in a world that was once filled with pain.

Excerpt
 
“How did you know this song always makes me happy?”  She turned to me and flashed the most breathtaking smile I’d seen her produce.  She really was quite striking.  There was something about her eyes that always seemed to lure me in.  There was an innocence to her, yet I could tell there was  a wildcat lurking just beneath the surface.  Since we were going to be together for the next week, I was going to make it my mission to bring that cat out of hiding.  Yep, by the time we reached Seattle, I had every intention of showing Gracie Madison just how much fun it could be to cut loose and remember how to have fun.  Hell, God knows we both could use a little taste of it.
 
“No one can resist Rebel Yell.  Remember the video?”  I did my best Billy Idol impression, complete with lip curl and growl, and that made her laugh.  She had a beautiful rich laugh.  I vowed then and there to make her laugh more often.  After all, this trip was about chasing our dreams and finding our happy place.  Right now listening to her laugh as she sang along with Billy, I felt pretty damn happy.
 
“More, more, more.  Owwww!”  Her little fist pumped into the air as if to punctuate each word.  
 
“You ever call that out? During sex, I mean.” I asked casually, not expecting her to answer, but still hoping to make her blush.  I’ll admit I was surprised when, rather than getting all flustered like she usually did, she actually answered.
 
“You mean beg for more?”  She stole a quick glance in my direction and I gave a single nod.  “Oh yeah,” her voice went really husky, and I could tell she was playing along, “all the time.”  She flashed me a sexy wink, then threw my question right back at me.  “What about you, stud? You ever beg the girls for more?”
 
“Only when they’re doin’ it right, sweetheart.”  I chuckled softly, enjoying the fact that I could still make out the flush on her cheeks, despite it being dark outside.  My eye caught the sight of flashing blue and red lights in my side mirror.  I twisted in my seat, seeing that the cop was not far behind us, then cast my eyes toward the speedometer.  Fifteen over.  Shit.  This did not look good.  “Um, Gracie, you planning on stopping anytime soon?”

Gracie & Tucker Interview
 
Hello Everyone!!  I’m Melissa with Alpha Book Club and I’m here today to interview the amazing Gracie and Tucker from Alaska Or Bust!!  I’m so excited to dig deep into their brains and really get the answers we’ve all be wanting to know.  So hang on and let’s go!
Tucker
What’s your favorite thing about Gracie??
No brainer – It’s gotta be her killer smile. Have you seen it?
I have and it is breathtaking!!  I can see why you fell in love with her. (I won’t lie, Tucker does make me blush like a 2nd grade girl!!  He’s gorgeous)
What would your mom love about Gracie??
Everything.
(I give him a look) Really?
What? You want me to narrow it down to just one?
Well, then I guess it would be her love of 80’s music. I always thought my Mom’s love for the stuff ran deep, but Gracie could have given her a run for her money.
There’s really nothing better than 80’s music.  So I have to agree with your mom and Gracie there!!
(He winks at me, I think I just melted!!! Swoon!)
How has being a dad changed your life?
I think it’s given me a deeper appreciation for my parents, especially my Dad. My Mom always had what I would now call an “in your face” method to parenting. She was always there and she always had a kind word to offer. But my Dad, he was the silent one in the background. His words weren’t always what I wanted to hear, but they were what I probably needed to hear. And he was always there for me, even when he was absent. I never understood that until I had kids of my own.
That’s really beautiful Tucker!!  I agree, you never really understand until you have kids of your own!
What was your favorite memory of your road trip??  (Besides the obvious)
Sex in Seattle. Ow! Why’d you just hit me? (rubs the back of his head).
(I can’t help but chuckle, I sort of set him up for that answer….oops)
Geez, babe, you can’t just blurt that out. She said ‘besides the obvious’. There have to be other moments that stick out in your memory. (Gracie quietly admonishes him)
Fine. I have a lot to choose from. Hmm… Let me think…
Oh, yeah. Spud’s Drive-In because we joked about my big and juicy wiener, and it was where I kissed her for the first time, with my lips AND my tongue. It was pretty amazing.
I have to admit, I think Spud’s was my favorite part as well!!  And well, the wiener banter was hilarious!!!  I still laugh when I think about it!!
What song reminds you of Gracie the minute you hear it??
That would have to be Rebel Yell by Billy Idol. Yeah, most people would automatically think of the Toni Basil song, because of our wedding, but Billy is where it’s at. It was the first time she showed me her wild side, and I loved it.
Billy is definitely where it’s at!!!  I will agree to that!!  But I may be biased since I’m a huge fan and all!!  Can you do the lip curl for me?? (I almost fall over when Tucker obliges and does the Billy Idol lip curl for me)
If you could change anything about your trip what would it be?
Whoa, that’s a tough one. I loved our trip, and I wouldn’t change a thing about where we stopped, or what we did. I guess if there was one thing I sometimes wish could have been different it would have to be that I told her I was going to Alaska. You know, I used to think that if my sign had said Seattle or Bust she never would have left me, and I wouldn’t have missed a whole year of holding her in my arms and telling her that she’s the only thing I ever needed. But, I can’t change the past, and I have some pretty awesome memories of my time in Alaska, so I guess that things happened for a reason.
I just make sure to hold her extra tight now, because there’s no way in hell I’m ever letting her go again.
I don’t blame you she’s quite a catch!!!  You got lucky with her!!
Are you and Gracie planning on more kids??
I don’t know, we have sex an awful lot, and we already know my guys can swim up that stream. Ow! Stop hitting me! (rubs his head again)
I’d love to have more kids, but Gracie says her eggs are getting too old. (he laughs wickedly, ducking this time to dodge her swinging hand)
You two are so damn cute!!!  I just can’t get over how perfect you both are together!!  Okay that’s all my questions for you (for now) Tucker!!  You’re not off the hook yet!!  Ha!
Now on to Gracie!  I have so many questions for you and your trip!  And I’m so happy to finally meet you, I feel like I know you already after reading your story!!!
Gracie
What’s your favorite thing about Tucker??
Well, seeing as how he’s being a poop-head right now that’s a hard one.
What? You are being a bit of an ass.
(she looks over and he gives her a playful wink, eliciting the million dollar smile he was referring to earlier, and now I understand)
There are many things about Tucker that made me fall in love with him, but one of my favorites would have to be the tender way he treats me. From the moment we met he just had this way about him that screamed “good guy.” You know? When he looked at me, it was almost as if he could see right through me, and then he would hold me as if he were trying to heal all of my scars.
I think I knew that he loved me long before he ever figured it out, and the funny thing was that I now know that I loved him too. It was kind of like that insta-love, but the fog of our lives hadn’t cleared enough for us to figure it out.
Tucker definitely gives off that good guy vibe!!  And nowadays that’s a rarity!!  Good find you got there Gracie!!  I know a lot of girls would love to have what you have!!
What would Matthew love about Tucker?
Matthew Madison was someone special. He was my first love. Tucker’s okay with that. He knows that he is my forever love.
It was always important to Matthew that I was happy. In fact, he would go out of his way to put a smile on my face. Tucker is that same way. He would go to the ends of the earth to make me smile, anything to make me laugh. He used to call it his mission. Now he just calls it his normal.
When I lost Matthew it felt as though my entire world was tipped on its axis, and no matter how much time had passed I still felt this hollow feeling inside of me, and it chilled me to the bone. That first night we met, when I had that breakdown on the side of the road, Tucker held me in his arms and the cold just sort of disappeared.
Matthew would love that Tucker is taking care of me, picking up where he left off.
Oh my gosh that’s so beautiful!!!  (grabs tissue to dab my eyes)  It’s almost as if Matthew picked Tucker for you, at least that’s the way I see it!!  And he did a great job picking, if you ask me! Which brings me to my next question……
Do you believe Matthew sent Tucker to you?
Without a doubt. That’s part of the reason it was so easy to fall in love with Tucker. The guilt I felt was of my own making. Matthew and Lana both had their hands in getting us together, and once we both accepted that the rest was easy.
How has your life changed since you’ve become a mom?
Ohmygosh, it’s like nothing I could have ever planned for. You spend your entire life looking out for yourself, then all of a sudden your needs seem as insignificant as dandelion weeds that fly through the air.
Finding out that I was pregnant was pretty scary, knowing that I was going to go it alone, but I loved every minute of my pregnancy. Seeing her face after she was born, it took my breath away. Having Tucker by my side when I was pregnant, and giving birth, to J.T. was something I will treasure always.
But holding our kids, watching them grow up, and teaching them about joy and love, it’s the best feeling in the world.
Being a mother myself, I couldn’t agree with you more!!! It changes everything!!
What is your favorite memory of your road trip with Tucker?
Like Tucker, I have so many…
I can’t choose just one, so I won’t.
Hey! No fair. Why does she get to cheat? (Tucker straddles the chair Gracie is sitting in and covers her mouth, trying to prevent her from speaking – but it’s no use because she always gets what she wants and he loves her)
Singing together in the car
Tucker teaching me how to shoot a gun
The Giant Ball of Twine in Cawker City
Why Cawker City? (Tucker interrupts. He drops his hand and gives her a look)
Because, that’s where you dry humped me, and got me all hot and bothered for you. And you’ve been doing it ever since.
Aww, thanks Oakley. I feel the same way about you too. (mushy kissing starts up)
I swear you both are so adorable!!!  I hate to interrupt the kissing but I have more questions
What song reminds you of Tucker the minute you hear it?
Heaven by Bryan Adams. Something about the lyrics to that song just scream Tucker Winslow.
Oh my gosh, that is my favorite Bryan Adams song!!  This is scary……we have way to much in common!!! (laughs)  The lyrics are pretty perfect and I can see how it screams Tucker Winslow!!
Would you change anything about your trip?
Hmm… Two things come to mind.
I really think we should have backtracked to Dorothy’s House of Oz while we were in Kansas. I’m dying to see those flying monkeys.
Aww, baby, I’ve got your flying monkey right here. (he gives her another jaunty wink.  He’s so cute…..I can really understand why she fell in love with Tucker!)
Tucker! Stop it! Sorry…
(Laughs) No it’s fine……I’m enjoying this banter between you two!
But the part I really wish I could change would have been when I told him to stop at the drive-in. Because my telling him no led us to that ridiculous dinner date in Couer d’Alene, and ultimately my walking out of that hotel room without saying goodbye.
I’m a firm believer in everything happens for a reason!!  So there was a reason that all happened and look you and Tucker still found your way back to each other!!
It’s okay, Oakley, it all worked out.
(he gives her a squeeze while placing a soft kiss on her temple. It’s clear these two are very much in love and happy).
Are you planning on having more kids??
You heard the man earlier, I think I’m ready to kick back and enjoy what I have right now. But let’s just say that if one of his boys did break through to the other side I wouldn’t be disappointed. The more the merrier, right?
I would agree but I have three……and I love them to pieces, but they are a handful at times!!  Thank you for your time Gracie, now if you don’t mind I have questions for the both of you and then I’ll let you guys get back to your babies!  Ha
Both
Out of all the states you visited which one was your favorite??
Tucker: Arkansas
Gracie: Definitely Arkansas
I love that you both loved Arkansas. (They both look at each other smiling)
Which stop was your favorite?? You can only pick one!
Tucker: Diamond John’s
Gracie: Ball of Twine
Have you sat and watched The Longest Ride, since that night at the drive in??
Tucker: Yep, only this time I got to put my arm around her shoulder and we made up our own love scenes (waggles eyebrows)
Gracie: Yeah, what he said (giggles uncontrollably)
That’s great!! (laughing)
If you could have a date night anywhere (without kids) where would you two go and do?
Tucker: I’d take her out to a club in Downtown Seattle. I hear they have an awesome 80’s night.
Gracie: I think I’d enjoy a quiet dinner at home, followed by a hot bath and a relaxing night in bed.
Tucker: Can I change my answer? What she said.
Nope your answer stands Tucker!!!  I think those are both great dates and ones you should both definitely try to set up for each other!!!
Are we done here? Come on, Gracie, your sister still has the kids for another two hours and I’m suddenly in the mood to take a bath…
Yeah we are done.  Thanks again Tucker and Gracie for the fun and dare I say unpredictable interview!!  You’ve definitely answered all my questions and then some!  Enjoy that bath!!!

button synopsis

When I first met Dominic Snow, he literally saved me from falling. I never dreamed I’d end up working for him. And I certainly didn’t plan on falling in love with him. We were an unlikely couple, far from conventional in his social circles, but I always assumed that if we’d made it through those first couple months, nothing could break us apart.

Twenty-one year-old Aleena Davison has it all. A job she loves and that pays well. An amazing, gorgeous man who happens to be rich and everything she could ever want in a lover. She’s put up with a lot to keep this life, but what she faces now might be too much. Can she and Dominic get through it, or will their fairy tale come crashing down around them?

Don’t miss Craving HIM, the hot and steamy sequel to Serving HIM.

Synopsis
 
He wants the world and the admiration of everyone in it. Sean Taiden, the inconspicuous drummer of Reckless Beat, is sick of living in the shadows of his bandmates’ success. He’ll do anything to gain the recognition he deserves. Even if it means dancing in a music video to the Reckless track that drives a knife into his broken heart whenever he hears it. The saving grace is the tempting choreographer who may be the one person able to distract him from the agony his life has become.

All she wants is the peace that comes with solitude.

Melody Jenkins knows all about fame. She knows enough to determine she doesn’t want a part of it anymore. After quitting her professional dance career, she set up a quiet studio and focused on starting a new beginning away from prying eyes.

Interview with Sean Taiden
 
What is your name?
Sean Taiden
How do you dress most of
the time?
Casual. Jeans. Cargos. Anything comfortable and usually
something to show off my guns in the warmer weather.
What do you wear when you
go to sleep?
Not much.
Where do you live?
My penthouse apartment in Richmond, Virginia is my favorite
place. It’s clean and stylish…because I pay people to make sure it stays that
way.
What one word best
describes you?
Shadow
What is your favorite
memory from adolescence?
My first live gig. I was caught between pissing my pants and
snorting vomit out of my nose. It was only at a local bar and I was underage.
What do you watch on the
Television?
The music channels but I always switch off the gossip segments.
They’re always full of shit.
What annoys you more than
anything else?
Mason Lynch.
What’s your favorite
animal?
Probably a Koala. While we were touring Australia I got up close
and personal with one. They are so cute and pretty much spend their entire life
high on eucalyptus. Did you know they can give you chlamydia?… Ahh… that’s
just a fun fact… Not something I learned from the up close and personal
experience. Next question??
Do you have any pets?
Touring life doesn’t really allow for it. But I’ve always wanted
a dog. A big one.
What do you find most
relaxing
?
A beer and a movie. Or a beer and… pretty much anything.
What was the wildest thing
you’ve ever done, sexually?
There’s a sex tape roaming the internet at the moment. It may
not be the wildest thing I’ve done but it sure was the stupidest.
Is there any sexual
activity that you enjoy and/or practice regularly that can be considered
non-standard?
I like a little pain with my pleasure. I wouldn’t say I’m
heavily into any type of kink but I’m not against any either.

Oral sex.  Any kind of sex.  You name it; he loves it.  But Paul’s biggest passion is his greatest flaw.  As a recovering sex addict, he’s been abstaining and managing his addiction for over two years.  Now, all the wants is to fall in love and find that certain someone he can settle down with.

But when he finds himself on his knees on Elle Jacoby’s damp lawn, he knows there’s going to be trouble.  Elle quickly becomes Paul’s biggest challenge yet.  She’s instantly set him ablaze while he begs to be hosed down. As he gets to know her more, the flames burn even hotter.

How can he resist a hot divorcee who’s amped up to have all the fun she’s missed?

 “Elle, have you ever considered that the whole bunch of men looking to hook-up on Tinder could be bad apples?”

“You’re so funny!”

“I’m not joking,” I say.

“Seriously Paul, I’ve decided to throw myself back into the game.”

“But Tinder’s not really a game, Elle . . . it’s more like the mosh pit. What if you get head butted again?”

“I’ve realized the mistake I made. This time I’m going to spell it out to the dude before we get to the sexing.”

“Spell it out, huh?”

“Yeah, no weird stuff like latex or furry suits. No demeaning talk or behavior. No bondage. No threesomes.”

“Or foursomes?” I ask.

“Ewww, no!” she says.

“Are you trying to make me feel bad?”

“What? No, why?”

“I told you about my foursome.”

“Oh, I’m sorry. I forgot about that. That was when you were a man-whore.”

“Yes, thanks, although I prefer the term ‘sex fiend’.”

“Well . . . that’s still what you told me.”

“I did. So see, I’m the very guy you wouldn’t want to sleep with.”

“Ummm.”

“Yet, you pretty much asked me to screw you when we met. Do you see how complicated this is?”

“Can I ask you something, Paul?”

“Sure, why not? You know so much about me already.”

“Did you do men too back during your sex fiend days?”

I almost drop the phone. “Sex with dudes? No! Why would you ask that?”

“So your orgy was really just you and a bunch of women. Did you have a harem or something?”

“I could have.”

She huffs into the phone. “Oh really? A harem? What if you’re making all this stuff up? Why should I believe you and all your big talk?”

“If you don’t believe me, I don’t care. It doesn’t change anything.”

“What if you made up all those sexy stories . . . like that you were addicted to sex. What if you’re really more like your accountant brother?”

I feel the vein pop out on my forehead. Why is she screwing

with me?

“I know what this is about,” I whisper in a dark voice.

“Oh yeah? What’s that?”

“You’re provoking me, trying to get me to come over there and fuck you and break my oath. Well, it’s not going to happen.”

“Good!”

“Yup, good.”

“Because you know what, mister? You don’t fit into my profile anyway.”

“Oh that’s rich. You must have one hell of a profile.”

“Well look at you. You’re searching for a little complacent wifey who will roast your chicken and birth you a bevy of babies.”

“Roast my chicken? What’s that a metaphor for?”

“It’s not a metaphor, it’s dinner.”

I roll my eyes. “You’re pretty weird, you know.”

“And you don’t want to fuck anymore and nothing’s weirder than that . . . so who’s calling the kettle black?”

“Who says I don’t want to fuck? I never said that. I want it.”

“Really?”

“Sure.” I want it bad. So bad it hurts, but I don’t tell her that.

“So it’s that you just don’t want to fuck me?”

“Oh, I want to fuck you. Right now I want to throw you on the bed and ride you so hard you won’t be able to walk the next day.”

There’s a long silent pause. Maybe that was too much.

“Ms. Jacoby, are you still there?”

              “I’m here, Paul Junior. I’m just distracted thinking about you throwing me on the bed.”

“And mounting you?”

“Yes.”

I hear a soft moan.

“And fucking you hard?”

“God, yes.”

“So you really want that, do you?”

“You’re cruel. Are you going to make me beg for it?”

“Maybe.”

“Please . . . Paul, are you touching yourself? Because I am.”

I pause.

“Maybe.”

“Mmm.”

Our passion is incredibly intense.

Roman Masterson makes his fortune by fixing celebrity problems for big money and by any means necessary. He is a foul-mouthed, bad-tempered, manwhore who doesn’t have the time or inclination to babysit a gullible little brat from the suburbs…until he unknowingly spots her in the middle of a crowded dance floor and decides right then and there to claim every one of her orgasms from that moment on. Little does he know that the woman he’s laid claim to is his…cousin.

Cousins Teaser 1

Excerpt

I hear a very clear and distinct set of heavy footsteps advancing towards us. Whoever it is, isn’t panicked like the rest of us. He or she (no it was definitely a he) is moving calmly and very deliberately towards our direction. I experience a brief moment of alien-like movement in my stomach warning me of something. I’m not sure what. Maybe to be on guard or perhaps to run. Suddenly I feel five very warm, strong, and calloused fingers grasp my upper left arm and pull me up on my feet.

“Stand up,” the deep voice orders with a rumble. His lips just inches away from my ear. His breath smells of peppermint, chocolate and cognac. A yummy mixture. It’s familiar. Reminds me of Christmas.

His distinctive voice reverberates throughout my body, from the top of my head to the tips of my toes, and then settles in as if making a home in between my legs. I’m shocked at my body’s reaction and frankly embarrassed. Typically I would never blindly follow the commands of a stranger, but this isn’t a usual circumstance I find myself in. So for once I decide not to over think things (like he may be a serial killer) and instead just follow his lead.

With his hand still firmly clasping my upper arm, he notices that my feet are unsteady and quickly adjusts himself to place his other hand loosely around my middle to balance me as I stand. His massive hand almost spans the entire length of my torso and although my clothing serves as a barrier, to me it feels like I have nothing on. His thumb nearly grazes my breast, which sends my nipples into a hard alert, while his pinky finger comes dangerously close to the waistband of my panties. I am so overwhelmed by all the sensations of him touching me, that my body probably feels heavy to him, as I inadvertently sway slightly forward and allow him to bear more of my weight. My heaviness doesn’t seem to be an issue though, as he effortlessly guides me upwards onto my feet with one sweeping movement.

“Easy.” He murmurs softly by my ear.

Even with all hell breaking loose in the club, that one word, the stranger’s raspy voice, and his unforgettable hands are all I can concentrate on. His touch feels personal, careful, and intimate, as if we already know each other or as if we are definitely about to. As he continues to direct me, his commands all of a sudden turn somewhat clipped, almost like he is annoyed with me for some unknown reason.

“She with you?”

“Yes.”

“Grab her hand too.”

“Wait I-” I start to protest. His terse tone throwing me off.

“Grab her.” He orders again.

As he continues to hold onto me, to help me keep my balance, I reach down to grab Sloan’s arms and lift her up with me. “Come on Sloan.”

“Walk.” Is all the stranger says next.

And we do.

I step outside the box again to enjoy a new author. Lisa Blakeney is a great writer. I was very pleased with her new read Cousins. You’re taken into a story of two people that are only related due to family members getting married.

Elizabeth is dealing and overcoming an attack in her apartment. Then she is left heartbroken after her boyfriend ups and leaves. Roman on the other hand is the one night stand guy, never giving more than one night of fun. He has grown up from when Elizabeth met him back when she was six years old and he play a very mean trick on her. Elizabeth is very strong willed, not taking crap for the most part from most people. Roman all alpha male, moody, knows what he wants and will get it one way or another.

Elizabeth and Roman light the pages up. You are going to be laughing at the banter that is exchanged between the two of them. They are ready to rip each other’s throats out one minute, and then they are ripping each other’s cloths of then next.  

It did take me a little time to get in to the story and really enjoy it. I am glad it gave it the few extra chapters because when this one takes off it takes off. Great story and the cliffhanger is the best! Looking forward to the next book in this series!!!

Author Bio:

Ruth Cardello

Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She
spent her young adult years moving as far away as she could from her large extended family. She
lived in Boston, Paris, Orlando, New York–then came full circle and moved back to Rhode Island.
She now happily lives one town over from the one she was born in. For her, family trumped the
warmer weather and international scene.
She was an educator for 20 years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district
began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and has never been
happier. When she’s not writing, you can find her chasing her children around her small farm,
riding her horses, or connecting with her readers online.
or when working with authors:
Ruth Cardello was born the youngest of 11 children in a small city in northern Rhode Island. She
was an educator for 20 plus years, the last 11 as a kindergarten teacher. When her school district
began cutting jobs, Ruth turned a serious eye toward her second love- writing and self-published
her first billionaire contemporary romance in 2011.
In 2012, her third book hit the New York Times and USA Today and the series went to auction in
New York. The scariest decision she made in her writing career was walking away from the seven
figure deal she was offered there. It was, however, the right choice for her. Her books have sold
well since and have far outearned that offer.
Her billionaire romances were purchased by several countries and been translated into many
languages, but she has retained her English rights on her books. She has recently branched out to
write cowboy romances for Montlake. She describes herself as a steady, mid-list author.
When she’s not writing, she’s chasing her children and husband around their small farm and
plotting her next family vacation.
