BLOG TOUR: UNABRIDGED BY MELINDA DE ROSS


Synopsis

Book Length: 144 pages
Date Published: Aug. 17, 2014
Published by: Melinda De Ross (INDIE)
Steam Rating: Steamy
Main Characters: Angelina & Blade

Ironically, it all starts with a popular book about BDSM. When Angelina Jameson steps into her boss’s office armed with an acid article about ‘Billionaires, BDSM and Blah-blah-blah’, she thinks her career will take off. But her career aspirations drop into second place when she finds herself face to face with her nemesis.

Blade Spencer is the new editor-in-chief of Unabridged—the literary magazine where his ex-lover Angelina works. For three years, since she fled small town Jamestown without a word of explanation, they haven’t heard from one another. Now, when they meet again, the past and all the feelings they once had between them come rushing back, making them realize their love has never died. But can they reconcile their new circumstances and the changes that have occurred during the three years they were apart? Neither is the person the other used to know.

Then there is the faceless shadow who hunts them from the dark, driven by obsession and greed…

*This book contains strong language and explicit descriptions of sex.


Excerpt

It was quite late when we decided to conclude our meal and go home for a more intimate 
celebration. The waiter brought us the bill, smiling pleasantly and asking if we were satisfied 
with the service. He congratulated us on our engagement, admitting to me that he was Blade’s 
accomplice in surprising me with the ring. I assured him I was elated, and Blade gave him a very 
generous tip, thanking him again for his help. Then the waiter led us to the exit, where we got 
into an elevator. 
We were walking on the narrow sidewalk toward the parking lot, when Blade’s phone 
rang. He stopped to answer, but I, carried by the momentum, moved forward to cross the street. 
Suddenly, I caught one movement from the corner of my eye, and then everything happened as 
though in slow motion. 
The car had shot out like a silent, deadly hunter from the darkness, with its headlights off. 
I barely put my foot onto the street and it lunged in my direction, at such a high speed it looked 
blurry even as I turned my head toward it. It was too late though. My brain had time to realize 
that I was going to be struck before my body could react. I only felt a tremendous push that 
shattered my bones and rattled my teeth, while the screeching of tires scraped at my eardrums. 
The last thing I heard was the sickening sound of my head cracking against the pavement. Then 
everything went dark. 

Author Bio



Not long ago, to my surprised delight, somebody described me as being “charming, witty, supremely talented and dangerously fun”. I don’t know how accurate this description is, but I’m curious if the readers will find some of these features reflected in my writing. Speaking of my writing, I must mention that living in Romania – which is considered a projection of the enigmatic and much controversial Shambala, the supposed spiritual center of the Earth – is quite a source of inspiration. I have a native inclination to the occult and paranormal, to mystery and philosophy. The woman in me is a romantic and sensual creature. All these considered, I could describe my writing as being captivating, intriguing, sensual in places and, on the whole, a surreal experience. Enjoy!

Preorder Blitz: Her Master's Teacher by Lily White @eroticlilywhite

hmtc
sy
She caught my attention the first day I was seated in her class.
Her dark red hair fell in waves down her back and her alabaster skin appeared to sparkle under the lights of the lecture hall I'd admired her from a distance, never speaking or doing anything to draw attention to myself. Each day that I spent watching her in this room, I noticed how her eyes would flick up to me. She was wary of me - frightened - and she had reason to be. Allow me to introduce myself… My name is Holland Strong and at 21 years old, I'm the youngest Master within a society of wealthy and influential men. Clair Elliot is my psychology professor in college - that is, at least, until I make her my first courtesan. She believes she knows everything about how the mind works… …and I believe I can prove her wrong

Review by Nadia Chief Obsessive Pimpette

***Obsessed by Books arc copy gifted in exchange of an honest review***
I am left a crying wreck, huddled over my kindle in a foetal position...I am unsure if these tears are triumphant or if I am truly sad for the characters featured in this latest mind warping read by the Queen of Twisted. Please heed the warning in the foreword - this is not a romance novel. There is no HEA. This book follows the planning and execution of the kidnap and the total breakdown of a woman.
"My name is Claire Elliot. I am daughter, a sister, a friend. I am 31 years old. I am a teacher. I am not property."
She is a bright and beautiful Psychology professor and Holland Strong is her student. She becomes his focus and his attention changes her life forever.  He is the step son of Gail Carlisle, in training to become a Master under the tutelage of Aiden. This is Holland's and Claire's story told from their perspectives. Although arrogant, I liked Holland a lot more than I ever did Aiden who was too self assured a character, who was far too comfortable in his chosen profession.  Holland on the other hand uses his emotion as a Master in his arsenal to forge his new Courtesan.
Suffice to say this a rollercoaster of a read, and I recommend that you read these books in order as Aiden and Rebecca feature heavily in this story.  Their dynamic hasn't changed and Rebecca hasn't lost the rebellious streak that was oh so prevalent in her own story. Aiden ....oh Aiden. At times I truly despised him, his true Master's nature on full display with his latest acquisition to train.  No softness is shown as he systematically breaks Claire down. He rapes, inflicts pain and pleasure and humiliates her at every turn. And I do mean humilation...I cringed inwardly at the things she was forced to endure.
Claire refuses to let her mind shatter and survives more than most would be capable of. I really liked Claire and the dynamic between her and Holland. I enjoyed reading her pov and as I mentioned earlier cried whilst reading her torture and screamed in my head at Aiden to stop. She is a beautifully written character and her bravery and inner strength is uplifting in such a dark read.
Without giving any spoilers away  I tried to guess where the plot was going and the reasons behind  Aiden/Hollands behavior  but I did not see the ending coming and I'm sure brain matter leaked out of my ears! So I apologise for the rambling review...I am in shock...
This is by far one of the best reads of the year, if you enjoy a challenge and a story that is so shocking you feel guilty for reading it and enjoying it. Ah the human psyche is played like a fiddle to Lily Whites tune. Amazing five star read. 

Review by Wrenn Hot Birdie

** Arc copy gifted in exchange of an honest review for Obsessed by Books ***

Another superb story written by the mistress of masters herself Lily White! 

No one does dark as well as Lily White, she has a way with words that will pull you into an emotional maelstrom and leave you wringing in sweat on the other side. In this tale she draws the reader along a perverse and twisted path into the shadowy realm of training a courtesan or submissive. Main characters are: deliciously, dark with a hint of soul, Holland, a master-in-training and Claire the beautiful college psychology professor who, because of her background and strong spirit will be a challenge to break down.

There is a secret society of men who purchase courtesans that have been trained by Holland and Aiden and Claire is being prepared to be sold to a wealthy member.

..The society is different than what you would expect. We’re not traffickers. We’re not monsters. We transform women, break them from their shell, free them from what society expects from them. You’ll understand that soon…

For background it’s helpful to read The Master’s Courtesan where we are first introduced to Aiden and Rebecca, the characters in the first book. Aiden, who is now Holland’s mentor and Rebecca, who is Aiden’s submissive, are seamlessly blended into this volume as strong supporting characters. Aiden is even crueler in this volume, he’s calculating and manipulative, controlling all around him, and although Holland is by no means whatsoever softhearted, he is not as cruel as Aiden. Their methods are opposite each other. The question is, does Holland become a master or submit to a master? 

Claire who has been kidnapped by Aiden is too educated to be obeisant. She refuses to submit causing a clash between Aiden and Holland, each has their own way and technique of ‘training’ her that culminates in an explosive outcome.

“That was ….” Aiden’s voice boomed out with joy apparent in his words ”…as extraordinary as it was bizarre. If I hadn’t seen it for myself, I would have never believed it possible.”……”I think you might have the rarest courtesan of all”

This book does not have a cliffhanger, is has an open ending, with more to come. 

I like it when an author carries the thread of a story through different books adding characters or giving each existing character a chance to have their own say. It adds depth to the whole story; we get to learn more about each individual and what drives or motivates them. Her Masters Teacher is a finely woven tale of people and their complex interactions;It is a psychological brain twister and mind f*ck of the most excellent kind.

I will be anxiously awaiting the more to come……
The Author
Lily White is a dark writer who likes to dabble on the taboo side of eroticism. Most of the time she can be found wandering around aimlessly while her mind is stuck in some twisted power play between two characters in her head. You may recognize her in public by the confused expression, random mumbling, and occasional giggle while thinking up a scene. Lily's favorite things in life are reading, thinking about reading, buying books for reading....and writing. Her other secret pleasure is meeting with her plot editor in public to discuss her books and watching the shocked expressions of the people around her that don't realize she's talking about a book. When Lily is not reading, writing, wandering or freaking out innocent bystanders, she's sleeping.

BLOG TOUR: BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS by Addison Moore @AddisonMoore



BEAUTIFUL ILLUSIONS by Addison Moore

September 2014
Beautiful Oblivion, #2





BOOK SUMMARY:

Sometimes the past comes back to haunt you—in the most heartbreakingly beautiful way.

Gavin’s story.

I fell in love hard and fast as lightning. As quick as she came into my world she was gone. Demi said she has secrets—that she’s done horrible things. Who hasn’t? I’m not going to let the past determine our future. Sometimes love lays forever at your feet and sometimes you need to fight for it. Demi is worth every damn battle we’ll have to go through. I’d burn down the world just to keep her safe. And, after what I’ve discovered, I just might have to. All I need with Demi is one more night to convince her we’re worth it. And that one night is going to cost me everything.

Review by Jen Giggles Sidekick Pimpette

*Warning:  I write between a personal and analytic stand point with my reviews. One minute I am talking to you like I’m your friend and then the next I sound all smart and stuff.  Enjoy!
What an interesting tale between a whore and a man-whore. I am not kidding when I say this is how the two lead characters describe themselves to each other at some point in the story. This read is a soft and light hearted tale. 
The main plot focuses around two people, Gavin and Emmy (really Demi), who have damaged pasts with abuse and loss. They both use sex as a tool to cope with their pain and loss. Do you think I just described a Lifetime movie? Well, that’s what it felt like when I read this story.
Demi and Gavin first meet at his cabin. Demi showed up to his place thinking he was one of her “Johns” and turned out she went to the wrong place. Awkward! But really that’s where the story of the couple takes off. They go through the ups and downs of trusting and learning to care for one another. The end ties up all loose ends from their past and gives them an opportunity to have a happy future.
I felt as though the story was used a general tone and not much descriptive words to truly grab my attention as a reader. The story was well written but could be further developed. Because of this, I would give this story a 3 out of 5.

REVIEW TOUR: UNSETTLED SERIES



After a horrific breakup with her longtime boyfriend, Brooklyn Caldwell is completely disenchanted with the notion of mingling with the opposite sex. Damon Williams had been everything she thought she wanted…until he wasn’t.

In an attempt to escape her heartbreaking past, Brooklyn seeks refuge in bustling Washington, D.C. where she folds into the fast-paced society unnoticed…until she meets a young entrepreneur, Logan Colton.

Brooklyn is surprised to find that while she has been successful in keeping the opposite sex at bay, somehow she is defenseless against Logan’s confidence and charm—and it doesn’t hurt that he is absurdly beautiful.

As much as Logan didn’t plan on pursuing her, he is drawn to Brooklyn’s muted beauty and her witty persona. For all his success, Logan is ensnared in the coveted world of unequivocal wealth and power, but behind closed doors is taunted by his own demons and an undeniable need to atone for a monumental mistake.

As the two embark on a tumultuous obstacle course saturated with unknown twists and turns, Brooklyn is left to question whether she can endure the journey ahead





REVIEW BY MAZZY BOSS LADY

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

****I received an arc in exchange for an honest review****

This is a one of those classic romances with a modern twist.

I found it hard to get into at first but as I carried on reading the book got alot better.

After a heartbreaking breakup with her previous boyfriend this heroine has a hard time trusting others and build up walls around herself.

In comes the hero trying to break down those walls, will he succeed or is he hiding secrets?








Everything was falling into place. Even amongst all the chaos of Washington D.C., Brooklyn and Logan found each other.

Brooklyn never expected Logan...and as it always seems to happen with her...things fell apart. She has been through this before...was she strong enough to do it again?

On the outside, Logan was the epitome of wealth and confidence. Many knew his name but few knew his secrets. He never expected Brooklyn...but now she's walked away. He knew what they shared mattered to her...and she...she mattered to him more.



Amazon   Amazon UK    Nook  Goodreads

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I received this arc in exchange for an honest review

This book continues on from the first and we get the answers that we were waiting for.

This book tends to go with Logan's prospective, even though it carries on Brooklyns story.

I do have to warn you though there will be tears in reading this.

Logan is most definitely a sexy sweet male and Brooklyn seems like a tough person with a hard exterior.

The book is beautifully done and I really loved reading this, the writing is impeccable and flows together.

But she’d let herself hope. And now the pain of failure is crushing. Tristan and Adam are trying their damnedest to make things right and win Kat back but family, work and the fraying of their once-solid friendship are taking their toll.

Excerpt: “Did you enjoy being in the army?” A flicker of surprise crossed Adam’s expression. “Yeah, I did. And I was good at it.” “Because he’s a sneaky bastard.” Tristan deliberately needled Adam. “And he’s a decent shot.” Adam’s mouth curved in a grin. “Better shot than you.” Tristan rolled his eyes. “Now you’re just fooling yourself.” Kat smiled, watching their banter as if it were a tennis match. Sliding off her shoes, she tucked her legs under her and leaned back in the chair. As she resettled, she noticed both men return their attention to her. “How did you meet?” Her curiosity grew, fueled by the interplay between them. They knew each other so well, they’d developed a shorthand. She wanted to learn it, wanted to be on the inside with them. When Tristan smiled at her, she felt drawn inside that small circle. “When the newly minted Second Lieutenant got assigned to my platoon.” Adam’s smile widened. “Fresh out of West Point and already a Grade-A prick.” Tristan didn’t look at all offended by Adam’s dig. “I may have had a somewhat elevated opinion of myself at the time.” “Lucky for us, you proved yourself in the desert.” She knew they’d served in the Middle East for several years, but it had been more of an abstract concept than a fact. Now, her stomach clutched at the thought that one or both of them could have been killed. Which was ridiculous because they were here now. Safe and sound. But would they always be? “Can I ask about your work?” She had their complete attention again, their focus a little unnerving. Adam’s so intense, Tristan’s so…inviting. He nodded. “Of course.” “We just need you to understand that we have confidentiality issues,” Adam interjected. “Just like you do with clients.” She nodded. “I understand. So…what exactly do you do?” “We run a private security firm.” Tristan’s tone implied it was that simple. Which she knew it wasn’t, thanks to the DeMarcos. “Which means…” Tristan paused to think about his answer, but Adam leaned forward, tapping his finger on the table to get her attention. “Maybe you should tell us what you already know. Then we’ll fill in the holes.” Would they understand that she’d had them investigated only because she was curious about them? And not that she was prying into their business? Was there even a distinction to be made there? “I know you provide security services, but you also do something called kidnap and recovery.” Adam’s eyebrows rose but he didn’t look surprised. “That’s not something we put on our website.” “I didn’t get that from your website.” “No, you had us investigated.” Adam didn’t sound angry so she nodded. How would they take that? A second later, Adam’s lips curled in a tiny grin and Tristan outright laughed. “Good for you, sweetheart,” Adam murmured. “Another woman would’ve just taken us at our word.” “I like to know who I’m dealing with.” “Good policy to have.” Tristan cocked his head to the side then, his gaze narrowing. “And did you get the answers you were looking for?” “Not really, no.” Tristan spread his hands and leaned back in his chair. “Then go ahead and ask. Anything you want.”   About An Indecent Affair Series: Indecent affair Part 1An Indecent Affair Part I One night. One woman. Two men. Twice the desire.

Killing vampires is easy. Trusting one will be the hardest thing Dahlia Sabin has ever done.

Dahlia has lived a lonely existence as a killer of the undead. Known as The Blushing Death to those that fear her, Dahlia uncovers a plot by Columbus's Master Vampire, Ethan. He intends to raise a demon from the depths of hell to destroy the city, cement his power, and take control.

In her pursuit to stop a demon from manifesting, Dahlia sinks deeper into the city's supernatural underworld and discovers that vampires are not only deadly; one in particular could be dangerous to her very soul and her heart. Patrick, the Master vampire's second-in-command with dark penetrating eyes and a cool, deadly sophistication, can't stay away and Dahlia can't tell him no. There's something that neither of them knows, Ethan wants Dahlia's unleashed power for himself and is willing to do anything to get it.

Dahlia is in a race against time to send the demon back to hell, at war with her better judgment, trusting a dark and intriguing vampire with his own agenda, while struggling to save her own neck. As the portal to hell opens, Dahlia has only herself to rely on in order to survive, if she can  . . .

BLOG TOUR: THE EDGE OF YOU BY THERESA DALAYNE @TheresaDaLayne









Book & Author details:

The Edge of You by Theresa DaLayne
Published by: Bloomsbury Spark
Publication date: September 25th 2014
Genres: New Adult, Romance

Synopsis:
He left home to escape. She made a new life out of guilt. Neither one expected to find love—but not even the Arctic can cool this steamy romance.
Maya knows she’s doing the right thing by moving to Alaska with her parents, but that doesn’t mean she has to be happy about it. Forced to give up a scholarship to a prestigious art school, she relocates to a Podunk town with one college the size of her high school cafeteria, all to help hold her family together after the death of her little sister. But a fresh start can only do so much.

Jake doesn’t like handouts and he certainly doesn’t need any distractions. Working on a salmon boat in Kodiak, Alaska is the only way to pay for his mother’s surgery back in the lower forty-eight. Juggling college courses and constant worry about his mother’s health, Jake couldn’t imagine anything else fitting into his life. That is, until he meets Maya, the sexy Californian artist who tints his world in technicolor.

But when Maya’s family starts to crumble and Jake’s mom takes a turn for the worse, will they drag each other down, or can they find what they were missing all along?

In this new adult romance, Theresa DaLayne paints a swoon-worthy story about life under the midnight sun, following your heart, and learning to live on the edge.

AUTHOR BIO
Theresa DaLayne is a north-south-east-western kind of girl with a quirky personality to match her nomad life. Born in California, she migrated to three different cities in Washington State, a tiny island in Alaska, North Carolina, and finally to the suburbs of Ohio where she currently lives with her husband, three kids, vegetarian cat, and her ungrateful fish.

Always on the lookout for a new story, Theresa is a shameless eavesdropper and will take anyone who provides inspiration and mold them into a character without a second thought. She enjoys writing both paranormal and contemporary stories, considering her mind wanders between worlds of fantasy while she’s forced to live in the real world, very much against her will.
