A Note from Laura Kaye:

Dear Readers,

I’m SO EXCITED to share the newest cover in my Raven Riders series, which is about a different kind of a motorcycle club with a protective mission! Ride Wild is about Sam “Slider” Evans, widowed dad to two little boys. From his very first mention in Hard As Steel, Slider has called to me to write his story – and now I’ll be doing just that! And I think this cover captures him SO WELL! So give it a look, and then be sure to check out Ride Rough too – Maverick’s book is coming April 25 AND if you pre-order, you’ll get a bonus story about Beckett Murda and Kat Rixey from the Hard Ink series having their baby!

So much good stuff coming your way!

Thanks for reading! Now enjoy this cover!

Laura

 

About Ride Wild (Raven Riders #3):

Brotherhood. Club. Family. They live and ride by their own rules. These are the Raven Riders...

Wild with grief over the death of his wife, Sam “Slider” Evans merely lives for his two sons. Nothing holds his interest anymore—not even riding his bike or his membership in the Raven Riders Motorcycle Club. But that all changes when he hires a new babysitter.

Recently freed from a bad situation by the Ravens, Cora Campbell is determined to bury the past. When Slider offers her a nanny position, she accepts, needing the security and time to figure out what she wants from life. Cora adores his sweet boys, but never expected the red-hot attraction to their brooding, sexy father. If only he would notice her...

Slider does see the beautiful, fun-loving woman he invited into his home. She makes him feel too much, and he both hates it and yearns for it. But when Cora witnesses something she shouldn’t have, the new lives they’ve only just discovered are threatened. Now Slider must claim—and protect—what’s his before it’s too late.

BLOG TOUR REVIEW, EXCERPT & GIVEAWAY: Blush For Me (Fusion #3)

I love the Fusion series from Kristen Proby! BLUSH FOR ME is finally here - check out my review, an excerpt and enter the giveaway!

Blush For Me (Fusion #3), by Kristen Proby
Publish Date: March 7, 2017
Publisher: William Morrow
Format: e-ARC, provided by the author and Inkslinger PR
Genre: adult contemporary romance
To Buy: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Rating: 4.5 STARS

(Synopsis) As the take-charge wine bar manager of Seduction, Portland's hottest new restaurant, Katrina Meyers is the definition of no-nonsense, and she isn't afraid of anything. Well, almost anything: she hates to fly. When she's forced to travel on a death trap with wings, the turbulence from hell has her reaching for any safe haven—including the incredibly handsome guy sitting next to her.

Ryan "Mac" MacKenzie hasn't been able to get his sexy seatmate out of his head. The way she clung to him stirred something inside him he didn't think existed: tenderness. As the owner of a successful wine touring company, Mac thinks he's got a handle on what life can throw at him and he's not prepared for any surprises, especially in the feelings department. And when he brings a tour into Seduction, he sees the petite spitfire he just can't forget.

Mac is determined to discover what else they have in common besides fine wine and the inability to keep their hands off each other. But what will it take for two stubborn people to realize that what they have is so much more than a hot chemistry between the sheets and to admit to falling in love…?

The Fusion series may be one of my favorites by Kristen Proby. There is something just so awesome about five female besties who start a restaurant together, each using their unique skills to make it successful. Blush For Me gives wine expert Kat Meyers her own story as she meets her match in Mac.

Kat is a very take charge, no nonsense kind of woman. She's a workaholic (although not as bad as chef Mia) who is perfectly capable of owning her hot one-week stand (her "sexcation") and then leaving him behind. Even though he is constantly on her mind once she gets home, she's okay with his memory slowly fading into the distance. Until he shows up in Seduction with some wine tourists.

Despite two of her partners already finding love and wedded bliss already, Kat was okay with continuing to go it alone. So, when Mac shows up completely unexpectedly, she was understandably thrown for a loop. Her sexcation was now standing in front of her telling her she wanted more than just their week on the wine trail. After spending a short time in denial, Kat realized that Mac in all his sexiness - along with his rooftop garden, which is perfect for reading - is someone special.

For the first time, this relationship took off outside of the walls of Seduction, which was a fun change of pace. Mac was so perfect. Initially, you think he's this cocky player. But, once he and Kat get back to Portland, and they realize they live closer to each other than they originally thought, they get involved in each others' lives. Mac has some family problems, and Kat, being a bartender and one-time would-be psychologist, ends up being his and his brother's saving grace. And increases the respect he has for her ten-fold.

There was plenty of time to see how Jake and Addie and Landon and Cami are doing, and they are doing fantastic. With their recap and the sizzling new relationship between Kat and Mac, Blush For Me pushed all my buttons.

“Are you going to tell me where we’re going?”

“You haven’t guessed?”

“Well, I’m assuming the beach, but there are lots of those on the Oregon coast.”

“Cannon Beach,” he replies. “I own a condo there.”

“No way. That’s my favorite beach.”

“Good.” He smiles, then glances down at the Kindle in my lap. “I’m always the one reading to you. Let’s change it up. Read to me for a while.”

“Okay.” I turn it on and begin to read. This is a romantic suspense, but I’d just started reading the sexy part when he interrupted me. So, I pick up where I left off, describing a very detailed sex scene in a shower. This author is explicit with her language, and I glance over to see Mac’s hands white-knuckled on the wheel.

“Do you want me to stop reading?”

“You’re fucking killing me,” he growls. “But keep going.”

My lips twitch, and then he says, “And the shower is now on my list for this weekend.”

“Oh, good.” I chuckle, then continue reading. The hero lifts the heroine and pins her against the wall of the shower, and it’s hot.

I think I’m starting to sweat.

I quickly learn that this suspense novel is heavy in the sexy department. It seems they’re having sex on every other page, but that could just be because Mac and I are in a confined space, and I want him.

Now.

I’ve wanted him since I woke up this morning.

He reaches over and rubs his hand up and down my inner thigh. His little finger grazes over the sensitive skin this close to my pussy, and my voice catches as I struggle to keep reading.

“Are we there yet?”

“Keep reading,” he says, his voice rough. I do as he says, and he keeps his hand on my thigh, setting my skin on fire.

“Mac,” I finally say in desperation. “I can’t read this stuff to you when you’re touching me like that.”

“I didn’t ask,” he replied, and it only makes me hotter. That look in his eyes, the hardness in his voice, makes me nuts.

So I keep reading, and try to ignore his hand, which is completely impossible. Because this is Mac we’re talking about, and he might be the sexiest thing ever invented.

Ever.

Finally, we pull up to a building and he cuts the engine. We both clamor out of the car and rush to his door.

“We’ll get our things later,” he says as he fits the key in the lock.

“Good plan.”

BLOG TOUR REVIEW & GIVEAWAY: Mastering Her Senses (Blasphemy #2)

Laura Kaye is back with another sexy addition to her Blasphemy series - finally! Check out my review, then enter the giveaway!

Mastering Her Senses (Blasphemy #2), by Laura Kaye
Publish Date: February 21, 2017
Publisher: self-published
Format: e-ARC, provided by the author and Inkslinger PR
Genre: adult erotic romance
To Buy: Amazon | Barnes & Noble

Rating: 4 STARS

(Synopsis) He wants to dominate her senses—and her heart…

Quinton Ross has always been a thrill-seeker—so it’s no surprise that he’s drawn to extremes in the bedroom and at his BDSM club, Blasphemy, where he creates sense-depriving scenarios that blow submissives’ minds. Now if he could just find one who needs the rush as much as him…

Cassia Locke hasn’t played at Blasphemy since a caving accident left her with a paralyzing fear of the dark. Ready to fight, she knows just who to ask for help—the hard-bodied, funny-as-hell Dom she’d always crushed on—and once stood up.

Quinton is shocked and a little leery to see Cassia, but he can’t pass up the chance to dominate the alluring little sub this time. Introducing her to sensory deprivation becomes his new favorite obsession, and watching her fight fear is its own thrill. But when doubt threatens to send her running again, Quinton must find a way to master her senses—and her heart.

A new Laura Kaye release is always a good thing. Especially when I know that new book will be full of intense feels, fascinating characters and crazy hot sex. I mean, really. What else do you need in a book?

Quinton interested me from the moment we met him in Hard to Serve. He seemed to be the "happy Master." You know - some Masters in BDSM books are broody and focused. Others are stoic and detached. Then there's the rare few that seem like nice, sweet guys who would be quick with a smile or to laugh. That's Quinton. I think I like those guys the best, because when they turn on the Master, it's usually the absolute hottest, most intense Master ever.

Quinton's specialty is sensory deprivation. Therefore, he's the perfect Master to take on Cassia Locke, a woman who was living the lifestyle before a tragic accident gave her severe PTSD in the form of a paralyzing fear of the dark. She's sick of living like that, and goes back to her club to try and get back her life. Coincidentally, Cassia was supposed to be with Quinton when she had her accident, so she ended up standing him up instead. Now, Cassia has a shot at getting over her fears and Quinton can get some answers.

I absolutely loved Quinton's way with Cassia. He made getting her over her fears his mission in life. He was quick with praise when he knew she had overcome a hurdle, and equally quick with apologies when he realized he had pushed her too far. And when he was in Master Mode, he was so awesome.

Cassia was a really brave woman. She reminded me of Kenna from Bound to Submit (Blasphemy #1) - they were both women who had something tragic happen to them, but were taking charge of their lives by doing what felt good, rather wallow in what felt bad.

Speaking of Kenna, we get a glimpse of her and Griffin here and there, which was fun. And, in an awesome cross-over surprise, we also discover that Cassia Locke is the sister of Jagger, one of the Raven Riders from Laura Kaye's other series. We see a few other Ravens in this book too, and as a fan of both this series and the Raven Riders series, that was a lot of fun for me.

The only reason I gave Mastering Her Senses four stars is, it seemed to end very abruptly. All the loose ends were tied up, true, but sometimes you just need the story to wind down a little. You need a few pages to see the couple being happy and doing their thing to give you this sense of closure and finality, and we didn't really get that here.

But, despite that, I loved everything else about this book. We learn a little more about the other Masters in each book, and I'm looking forward to getting to know them soon.

Laura is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of thirty books in contemporary and erotic romance and romantic suspense, including the Blasphemy, Hard Ink, and Raven Riders series.
