Excerpt
Eva “Baby,” I barely got out as I saw the first tear escape his eye. My legs went out from underneath me; Hunter resumed his position as my body fell to the ground. He straddled my torso, bent on his knees above me, strangling the life out of me. He quickly glanced down at my hands, spotting my wedding ring, and a sob broke through his gritted teeth, and his hands suddenly dropped to the ground. Thank you, Jesus! I gulped air into my now burning lungs, which put me in a coughing fit. As soon as I made eye contact with Hunter, I cupped his head that was now bowed down, resting on my chest. Slowly, I pulled his heavy head up. Hunter’s face was now full of pain; teardrops fell from his dimpled cheeks, and onto my chest. “I can’t…I fuckin’ love you too damn much to kill you.” His confession stilled my heart. I didn’t know what to say; all that was left was to do. Gently wiping away the sweat and tears from his face with the bottom of my tank top, I sat up on kitchen floor. Hunter sat back on his haunches, his shoulders rolled forward; the look of defeat was the very definition of how he looked. I knelt up onto my knees in front of him, our kneecaps touching. I was in love with the man who almost just killed me by asphyxiation. I’m fucking fucked. I know the alcohol played a part in his emotional display, but I’d never seen him like this. Broken. I stroked back his hair, and pulled him up to face me; Hunter now straightened up onto his knees, my head had to tip back so that I could see the man I loved. My eyes roamed his face, first his eyes, then his lips. Hunter was doing the same to me; the tension between us could have been cut with a knife. “Then don’t…” I trailed off as Hunter’s lips came crashing down onto mine. I pressed my body flush with his. As he groaned I opened my mouth, welcoming him into me. Hunter’s large hands trailed down my back, and cupped my ass. Eager, he lifted me up, and my legs wrapped around his waist. As Hunter held onto me, he pushed off the ground one leg at a time, with me latched onto the front of his body. Stumbling in the hallway, Hunter bumped my back into the wall as he stumbled over fallen picture frames. I tore my mouth away from his as I leaned back and ripped my tank and sports bra over my head.

~*~ Obsessed by books arc received in exchange for an honest review ~*~

Having read this series in order, one after the other can I just say oh my freakin dats...I need the next one now, now, now(insert foot stomping and pout) ...how could anyone be so evil to leave us hanging there, like that?!?! Oh wait, yup every book ends leaving you desperate for more but this one is the worst! I love it and I love me a little bit of Hunter.

"Every feeling, thought, and memory from our past relationship engulfed me. Hunter was, and still is, my addiction. Goddamn him."

Eva is Hunter's wife as we discovered in book 2 but is now also Jax's Old Lady. In over head with so many lies spun around her can she survive when her web of deceit that she has artfully crafted is slowly unraveled by the arrival of Hunter? Jax quickly puts the pieces together and becomes suspicious...

Nicole has traded her life for Jeremy's, going home with her half siblings to meet her sperm donor father. The rival MC is more than a little twisted with brother and sister definitely get a little too close for comfort. Jax is a bad bad man... Nicole is pushed to her limits, degraded and forced to act like a whore. Bringing back her past memories and the reasons she fell so hard for Jeremy. Being in such a perilous situation gives the pair time to think about how they truly feel and how desperate they are to claim each other. But will they survive?!?

Aside from the ongoing angst between Jeremy and Nicole, we also learn more about the sexy as sin Hunter. He's a man with skeletons lurking that are all too keen to come put to play! Once again this book in the series is well paced, with the right blend of tension, drama, sex (yucky in places as have I mentioned Jax although gorgeous is more than a little twisted?) to make it another edge of your seat, grip the kindle till your knuckles are white read!

Four oh no you didn't stars!

Review by Nadia Chief Obsessive Pimpette

~*~ Obsessed by books copy given in exchange for a honest review ~*~

'"Did you enjoy that?" he had a small smirk on his face as he cupped my face with both hands.
"Because it will never happen again."'

This is book one in a MC series, featuring Chase and Roxy, both MC Brats but with futures in opposing clubs. Think Romeo and Juliet but on bikes! The attraction between them is obvious but having been warned Roxy has a future mapped out for her Chase does his best to stay away from her but fate keeps throwing them together.

A few years later their MCs have worked hard to come together and Chase find himself face to face with Roxy, she has haunted his dreams but reality takes his breath away. Working in her brothers club Roxy has matured into a sexy as hell wild cat. Going steady with Jake, it's taken as a given she will become his old lady...but things aren't always what they seem.

Drugs, guns and missing cash lead both clubs to work closely together to protect Roxy as she is the focus of some unwarranted attention. Being forced to be her bodyguard leads Chase to believe that maybe...just maybe...they can plan a future together.

This is a fast paced, thrill ride. It has momentum and there's never a dull moment. The sizzling sexual chemistry between Roxy and Chase is evident in their interactions and when they get together, boom! Jeremy and Nicole - come on get it together! I wanted to knock their heads together. And Hunter...swoon! A fab introduction to the Condemned Angels MC.

Four Romeoesque rumbling stars!
 
Ride Hard (Condemned Angels MC #2)

Review by Nadia Chief Obsessive Pimpette

~*~ Obsessed by books copy given in exchange for an honest review ~*~

Book two in the Condemned Angels series this picks up where book one left us hanging. Roxy and Chase deal with their demons and resolve their issues...leaving Nicole and Jeremy still living with one another. Growing up together they have a shared history and a lot of water under their bridge. Their past is unfurled slowly throughout the book in flashbacks and memories, we see how deep their feelings are for one another. Jeremy has been pushing her away for a long time and Nicole is attracted to Hunter too. The cat and mouse games continue as Nicole finds herself drawn to Hunter but her heart belongs to Jeremy.

Club business still needs to be dealt with and the repercussions from book one are still resonating strongly...more blood will be spilt. This dynamic well paced MC story has it all, danger intrigue and hot alpha males. Plot twists that I did not see coming and character development that had me wanting to hug Nicole for everything she had gone through. Yet more characters are introduced to the MC family and I cannot believe the ending!

A four star sassy MC read.

Excerpt 1:
Excerpt 1 (unedited & subject to change)


My afternoon is slower than my morning. A fault in the IT department means that the internet is down, making the online research that I wanted to do for my two new projects impossible. I delight in hearing my phone ring an hour before leaving time. Please be someone that’ll talk my ear off for the next hour, I beg, as I answer in my usual receptionist-style.
My wish is granted: it’s Logan!
“Look up,” his voice purrs.
I do, expectantly, and I’m not left disappointed. He’s standing the doorway between reception and the large room in which my cubicle sits. He is simply perfection. Automatically I stand as he walks over to my desk.
“What are you doing here?” I ask, feeling giddy by the surprise.
He bows his head as his lips brush softly against mine. “We’ve got a meeting,” he smiles at me.
“No, we don’t,” I stammer. Do we?
“Yes,” Logan insists, “look, it’s right here…” He retrieves a pen from my desk tidy and proceeds to write in my work diary under Monday, March 3rd:


Meeting with Logan Leary at 4.30PM ♡


“You are good at drawing love hearts,” I tease him.
Laughing, he says, “There’s not much to it, baby.” Then he takes my hand and (no doubt having been in one before during previous business meetings with Amelie) he leads the way to one of the meeting rooms, aptly choosing the one room whose blinds are down. Butterflies fill my tummy as he pulls me inside and changes the sign on the door from Vacant to Meeting in Progress: Do Not Disturb.
He shuts the door and then turns to look at me, his eyes filled with longing.
I try to ignore the feelings that have abruptly risen in me; such amorous emotions are not welcome at my place of work. I try to be cool and casual as I say, “So, this meeting…what did you want to discuss?”
“Your many curvatures,” he says.
My eyes widen, and I can’t keep the smile from my face. “Oh? Those?”
“Yes, I’ve been thinking about them all day,” he tells me.
“What about them in particular were you pondering?” I ask, twirling around and showing off my curvatures.
“Well…” he smiles.
I hold up a hand to stop. “Damn, I’ve forgotten my pen; I can’t take notes,” I sigh. I walk over to him, a smile playing on my lips, and slip my hand into the hidden breast pocket of his jacket where I know he keeps his phone. I pull it out, and ask, “You don’t mind if I take notes on here, do you?”
“I could have just handed it to you,” he points out, grinning.
“I prefer getting it myself,” I say honestly. I call up Siri and command her to start taking notes. “Now, Mr. Leary, my many curvatures…what about them?” I ask, the phone held high in my hand, taking note of our conversation.
“Well,” he begins again, “since you are so good at your job I’m sure you’re familiar with the concept of less is more. I really do believe that in the case of your curvatures, the less fabric there is covering them, the better.”
Oh, Logan! “I see,” I nod. Don’t swoon, Gemima. Not yet! “Uh, just so I can fully grasp your meaning perhaps you could give me,” I pluck a number from thin air, “three examples?”
Logan smiles at me, enjoying our play with words. But before he feels able to touch me, here at my place of work, his eyes dart to the four corners of the room and he asks me cautiously, “Are there security cameras in here?”
His words hold so much hidden promise! “I don’t know,” I say, my mouth suddenly dry. What’s he going to do to me? Whatever it is, I can hardly wait! “I don’t think so, but if there are you can bet Amelie will be knocking on the door momentarily.”
We wait a few seconds; there’s no knock.
Logan’s smile returns. “Three examples?” he checks, and I nod again. “Alright, let's begin here…” His hand rests on my left hip and runs south over my thigh. “And here…” He does the same thing on my right side. “And here…” He takes a step towards me so that we’re flush against each other, and then runs both hands from the small of my back down, over my backside.
His hands glide smoothly over the fabric of my skirt, his touch turning me on. As he speaks and strokes me our eyes pour into one another’s, our lips only inches apart.
We wait another few seconds; still no one interrupts us.
“That’s three,” I say breathlessly.
“No, no,” he chuckles. “They count as one.”
Oh? I grin at him and raise an eyebrow. “Two more then,” I permit.
“Very good, Samuels,” he says. ”These count as one as well,” he tells me, his hands skimming over my breasts. “And these…” His hands trail along my collar bone, over my shoulders and down my upper arms. “And then there’s here…” This time he uses his lips to kiss the curve in my neck.
“That’s already uncovered,” I point out. Uh, shut up, Gem!
“So it is,” Logan murmurs, kissing my neck again, more fervidly. “And this curve…” He kisses my cheek. “And this one…” My nose. “And here…” My eyelid.
All uncovered also, I don’t say.
“And, of course,” he smiles against my lips, “these curves…” He kisses my lips, and I’m undone.
I throw my arms around his neck and cradle his head, kissing him with gusto. A moan escapes me as our tongues crash forcefully against one another. He’s come here, to my work, and seduced me entirely. Mmm, he tastes so delicious, his passion and fervour for me evident in the way he holds and kisses me. This definitely beats actually working!
“Before you distract me completely,” Logan breathes, sounding as flustered as I suddenly feel, “I feel I should add that there is one more curvature that I happened to know from previous experience that I cannot access when this sexy skirt of yours is on.”
“Curvatures uncovered. I understand,” I tell him. “You’ve made your point. You’ve made it very well, Mr. Leary.” I look down at Logan’s phone and tell it to stop taking notes: it’s heard quite enough!
“What would you like me to do with the notes?” his phone asks me.
My eyes grow wide. Technology talking back to me is still so weird!
“Send them to my mother,” Logan jokes.
“Sending to your mother,” the phone says in a monotonous tone.
I blanch. Shit!


Excerpt 2:
Excerpt 2 (unedited & subject to change)


His lips find mine and he crushes my tongue with his own, and I’m drowning in pleasure. I’m actually drowning; there is nowhere I can escape the satisfaction that’s building in me, no way to stem it. He’s got me pinned down, forcing me to accept every beautiful, incredible, indescribable feeling. And I love it! I love being pinned under him, feeling his weight on me!
He runs a hand down one of my legs and pulls it up under the knee, changing the angle that he enters me and then he thrusts deeply. Holy fuck! Right there!
“Logan,” I cry into his mouth. Yes, yes, yes! Releasing my hold of him I reach up and grab the headboard. Ah!
He takes me at this new angle and my drowning continues. I’m pummelled by wave after wave of ecstasy, building up to something deep and powerful.
“Baby, you are amazing,” he says, as we stare deep into one another’s eyes. Our gaze is unfocused, but still I see him; he’s close, as am I.
Logan pushes my leg higher and I whimper in rapture. So close! So fucking good! Logan’s body tenses over mine and I feel my legs stiffen. Inside I feel that phenomenal sensation of me tightening around him and with one more thrust, we come together, both of our bodies shaking violently and both us uttering an incoherent stream of nonsense. Holy hell, that was amazing!
I release my tight grip of the headboard and let my whole body relax. Logan rests heavily on top of me, his breathing rapid and his penis pulsating deep inside of me.
“Definitely the best night of my life,” he mutters against my skin, his voice somewhat muted. Then he pulls out of me and rolls on to his back, his hands tucked behind his head.
Sensing his eyes on me, I turn to look at him and find the biggest, most adorable smile plastered across his face. I burst into laughter, covering my face with my hands, thinking: I can’t believe Logan Leary is real!Screen Shot 2015-03-09 at 8.54.31 pm.pngcac19e2c938f5a88a07d2f612ff6c538 copy.jpg

About the Author:
71ysIuRK80L._UX250_.jpg
I'm sort of international in terms of my parents' mixed-nationalities and where I've lived, but I think of myself as British. I spent my childhood in an idyllic Scottish country town. Now I live in Perth, Western Australia.
The idea for SHE came to me at the beginning of this year. I was working on a website as a freelance editor and I saw several posts about writers required for short erotic stories. My curiosity was sparked!!
I wrote the first two pages of SHE and something clicked within me. I knew I wanted to (had to) keep writing it and a plot formed in my mind soon after.
Because this was my first piece of erotic writing I had anticipated that SHE would be a short story, but once these characters got going they could not keep their hands off of each other
Very soon I surpassed the 100k mark and I had so much I still wanted to write, and so decided to cut SHE in Parts 1 & 2.
