Perky- Review

Perky by Julia Kent

Synopsis:

AN ALL-NEW STANDALONE FROM NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING AUTHOR JULIA KENT

One hundred years ago when I was young and impulsive (okay, it was five, alright? Five years ago...) I let my boyfriend take, let's just say... compromising pictures of me.

(Shut up. It made sense at the time).

Surprise! The sleazy back-stabbing jerk posted them on a website and, well, you can guess what happened. That's right.

I'm a meme. A really gross one.

You've seen the pictures. And if you haven't - don't ask. And don't look!

As face recognition software online improves, I get tagged on social media whenever anyone shares my pictures. You try getting a thousand notifications a day, all of them pictures of your tatas.

So. I'm done.

It's time for revenge. Let him see how it feels! But how do you get embarrassingly intimate pictures of your jerkface ex who double-crossed you five years ago?

Especially when he's a member of the U.S.House of Representatives now?

Getting sweet between the sheets with a congressman is pretty much every political roadie's dream, right? I'm one in a crowd.

Except to this day, he swears he didn't do it. Pursued me for months after I dumped him five years ago. Begged me to take him back.

And I almost did it. Almost. I was weak and stupid and in love a hundred years ago.

Okay. Fine. Five.

But I still have the upper hand. Second chance romance has all the emotional feels, doesn't it?

I can't wait to punch him in the feels.

All I need to do is sleep with him once, take some hot-and-sweaty pics of him in... delicate positions, and bring him down. That's it. Nothing more.

Pictures first. Revenge after. And then I win.

At least, that's how it was supposed to happen. But then I did something worse than sexting.

I fell in love with him. Again.

My Review:
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. This book sucked me in with the crazy humor and outlandish characters. The main character Perky short for Persephone had a naked picture taken of her by her boyfriend at the time. Somehow it ended up online and she never forgave him for it. She  runs into him at her best friend's wedding and the drama doesn't stop. Parker misses Perky and wants her back. Perky is a little dramatic and outlandish at times, which at some points annoyed me. I really wanted to know what was going through Parker's mind when everything was happening. I will say the two had chemistry. This book is funny and quirky. If you loved Lorelai from Gilmore Girls this is the book for you to read because Perky reminded me of a younger Lorelai. The reason why it lost 1 and half stars is because the middle seemed to drag, and the ending was a little predictable. Overall, it was a cute story. Continue below for an excerpt.


Excerpt

I am kissing my ex-boyfriend, Parker Campbell–yes, Congressman Parker Campbell–and I have no idea how the hell this is happening.

But I really like that this is happening.

Yet I hate Parker for what he did to me five years ago. He's my ex.
And his tongue is unbelievable.

One of his hands sinks into my hair, fingers threading through it, tugging just hard enough to make all the blood in my body rush between my legs, a tidal wave of–
No! No! I can’t let this happen!

I break the kiss. Parker’s eyes are still closed. Most guys would look stupidly awkward with that face, but not him, with blond hair cut fashionably close, enough wave to the bangs to make him, um…
Bangable.

His close shave makes his cheek so soft, but his jaw is strong and hard, the scent of aftershave and his natural musk making me weaker than I should be.

He’s kissable and hot and one thousand images of his naked body mashed against my naked body run through my mind until they suddenly stop, like a slot machine going Ping! Ping! Ping!

And the final ping! is a picture of me, naked on a bed, with my boobs on display.
And two dogs humping on the pillow above my head.
I'm not making this up. You’ve seen the damn meme.

What would you do to the guy who posted that picture on the web? The one who ruined your life by turning you into an object of worldwide mockery?

I do what any sane woman would do.
I punch Parker in the gut.
That’s right. And you’d do it, too.

Bossy Brothers: Joey Review

Bossy Brothers: Joey by JA Huss

Book 2 of the Bossy Brothers Series

Synopsis:

Six years before my phone rang and changed my life forever, I made a mistake.

I met a girl, we had some fun, and then we had a baby. And I fell pretty damn hard for my daughter. I was going to be there. I was going to give her everything I never had. I was going to have a family.

And then her mother disappeared and took my baby with her.

And now she’s done it again. Because that call that changed my life was from my five-year-old daughter asking me if I knew where her Mommy was.

Then came the lawyers. And the demands from her super-rich, super-powerful messed-up family. And the little fact that my ex didn’t just “disappear” she was “presumed dead”.

I don’t live a traditional lifestyle and I’m not in a traditional relationship.

But I can pretend if I have to.

And that was the plan when my two “best friends” and I decided to hire “professional liar” Brooke Alder to be my fake fiancée.

It’s totally gonna work.  As long as MY super-rich, super-powerful, messed-up family doesn’t get in the way.

Bossy Brothers: Joey is book two in the Bossy Brothers series and features a delicious, burning hot, MMFM, surprise-baby, fake fiancée story with a twist that proves committed couples don’t just come in two’s, mistakes can be a good thing, and for some people, non-traditional love is exactly the kind they should fight for.

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. I read the first book of The Bossy Brothers: Jesse and thought while it had potential I didn't love it. This book was a lot different than the first book. We meet Joey, the middle Boston Brother and he is contacted by his 5 year old daughter that her mom is missing. His lawyers and friend convince him to find a fake fiancee, enter Brooke Adler. Brooke is a professional liar and is new to town. The other two main guys, Huck and Wald, both bring something different to this book then Joey.This is my first true MMFM and while I'm not one to share I enjoyed the way the author wrote the story line with these four. They all had amazing chemistry and fit together well. I will say at times this book seemed to focus more on Brooke rather than Joey.  The mystery that started with the three brothers continue in this story and it leaves you with more questions than answers. I am intrigued with what Johnny's book will be about and look forward to getting more answers.

Bossy Brothers: Joey Excerpt and giveaway

EXCERPT

JOEY

They’re on the loveseat facing the window and in profile from my view. Huck is down on his knees, head between Brooke’s legs. She’s gripping his hair, head thrown back, eyes closed, and her plump mouth open to allow the moans to escape.

Huck reaches up, grabs the front of her sundress, and drags it down so her bra is exposed. He does that again with the bra, and her tits bounce out. All the while he’s licking her pussy.
One hand grabs one breast and squeezes. Hard. Hard enough to make Brooke whimper. And the other one slides between her legs.

He fingers her as I watch, my dick getting hard at the sight of them.
Footsteps on the stairs make me look over my shoulder. Wald comes up around the banister. Saying nothing, but looking me dead in the eyes.
He licks his lips and I turn back to keep watching.
Wald’s hands slide around my hips and his chest presses into my back as he reaches for my already hard cock beneath my slacks.

“Wald,” I say. But it’s so soft, I don’t think he hears me.
Lie. It’s a lie. He hears me.
They planned this.
He and Huck planned this on the way over.

Wald grabs my hand and reaches for his dick, placing my palm over his growing hardness under his pants. He squeezes himself using my hand to do it and I fucking moan. I can’t help it.
Then he’s kissing my neck, whispering, “Come on, dude. Play along. You know you want to,” in my ear as he begins to unbuckle my belt.

I suck in a breath of air, thinking up a reason why I should stop him.
But there’s no good reason. We’ve already crossed the line again.
Where did I really think this day would end up?
I brought a girl in. I let them both have their fun. And I had mine too. Then I gave her a ring and bought her a house and told them they were staying here with us.
I can say it’s all for Maisy. And that might still be true.
But this is the real me, isn’t it?

This is the reason why I never settled down. Why I let Charlotte leave me behind the day Maisy was born. Why I never came back here to the city where I was raised. Where my brothers still live.
It’s because I have always wanted more than I have.

I’m a selfish, greedy motherfucker and that’s never going to change.
Wald has my zipper down now. I’m still holding his cock through his jeans. He’s hard, and I’m hard, and there’s no way we’re not doing this.

He pulls my cock out and starts to jerk me off. Leaning his chest into my back. His lips kissing my neck.

“Come on,” he says.

I turn my head a little. I can feel his breath on the side of my cheek. His lips drag along the stubble of my jaw until he catches the corner of my mouth with his teeth.

Brooke is moaning in the other room and I turn my head back to watch. Huck is climbing up her stomach, kissing it as he unbuckles his belt and gets his pants open. He pulls his cock out and fists it, her looking up at him. He takes her hand and wraps it around his shaft and gives her a little push. A little encouragement.

Brooke begins to tug on him, their eyes still locked together.
Wald squeezes my dick, reminding me who I’m with right now.

I lean into the doorjamb. My right hand behind me, squeezing Wald’s dick as he gets his pants undone and pulls himself out. He hands it to me.

That’s the only way to describe that move. He takes my hand and places it over his cock and I automatically begin to mimic Brooke as she jerks Huck in the other room.
She’s got her mouth open now. Still looking up at my friend like he’s got all the answers.
Wald’s hands are on my hips. He presses forward until his cock is rubbing up against my ass. One hand slides down along the diagonal muscle of my waist and grabs my balls.
I suck in a breath of air and close my eyes. Holding in the moan that wants to escape.
But Brooke is giving Huck a sloppy blow job and I want to watch it.
So I open my eyes and see Huck staring back at me.

“Come here,” he whispers.

My Review: 
I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. I liked this book, but I wish the couple would have been more flushed out. Andrew is a prince of England and also a student at an elite academy. Eliza is a hard working woman who had to work multiple jobs in order to pay for that school as well as get a scholarship. I felt the author rushed their relationship and while it was forbidden it was not as forbidden as I thought it would be. This was a fast, easy read if you are looking for one to read during summer break. If you like 18 year old, college students, and royalty this book is for you.

Unconditional You Excerpt and Giveaway

Unconditional You by Ceri Grenelle

Series: Stupid Awesome Love #5

EXCERPT

“This is quite the reunion then.”

“One I would have avoided if possible.”

“You said you have business to discuss? I’m so intrigued.” His facetiousness, which was once fun, has now turned biting. We’re on opposite sides, no longer partners in crime.

“I want to meet Mr. Nilsson, and you’re going to introduce me.”

“I don’t know who Nilsson is. And he doesn’t go by Mr. Nilsson.”

I sigh at the obvious misstep. He knows what he’s doing.

“If you don’t know him then how do you know he doesn’t go by Mr. Nilsson?”

“Sorry?”

“You said you don’t know him, so how do you know the nomenclature he prefers?”

“All staff are briefed on the host.”

“And you’re just a regular, nobody, member of the staff.”

“Yes. That’s me—”

“Sir!” A young man in a waiter’s tux bursts through the patio doors. “The caterer is freaking out. She can’t find her late-night peanut butter and jelly puff pastries.”

“Why are you asking me?” he asks stiffly without looking away from me. “Why would I know where the caterer’s puff pastries are?”

The kid looks like the waiter is a world-class idiot and speaks very slowly, a thick New York accent peeking out.

“Because you’re the chief of staff, which you made us repeat back to you three times in a row. In unison.”

He glances at me, and I raise my eyebrow, a victorious but subtle gesture.
He turns back to the boy, clearing his throat.

“Tell the caterer to check the walk-in in the second kitchen. Some of the overflow went there.”

“Thanks.” The kid is gone as fast as he arrived.

Kai's expression is as innocent as a newborn baby taking a shit.

“Surely the chief of staff, the representative of the man of the house, knows and has met his boss.”

He folds his hand behind his back, rocks on his feet.
“Even if I do know Nilsson a little, why would I agree to arrange a meeting?”

“Because I have something he wants.”

“And what’s that?”

“A life away from the spotlight. Away from the people he hates. An easy life with no expectations.”

He stops moving, his eyes narrowing. “What exactly are you proposing?”

“Just that. A proposal. Of marriage.”

He stares at me, his eyes wide, and then he laughs. I knew he would, the idea so outrageous and outdated. But I have my sources, and I know Nilsson is as desperate as I am. I keep my expression neutral, unaffected by his reaction.

“There are at least a hundred women,” he says, finally composing himself, “inside that ballroom that want to provide what you’re suggesting. What makes you think you have anything to offer? Your family reputation is tarnished, thanks to that article. What advantage could you give Nilsson?”

He’s listening. Time for my pitch.
“Those women come with rules and expectations. They want his name and the privilege that brings. They want him at their side at galas, showing him off like a fucking engagement ring or a puppy with a diamond collar.”

“What do you come with?”

“Freedom. The freedom for Nilsson to do whatever the fuck he wants. Stay holed up in this mansion. Travel the world. Never see me, not once. I’ll agree to anything he wants, as long as I get what I want.”

“He’s already free. He’s richer than Croesus—”

“Which I hear will change if he doesn’t marry by the end of the year.”

If silence could kill, Kai’s weapon of choice would be made of a narrow looks.

“How do you know that?”

Play it cool. Hook him and trap him.
“I have my sources.”

We face off for a moment, the tension riding us, stirring us. Eventually he shrugs, acting nonchalant.

“It doesn’t matter. Even with that knowledge, you don’t have anything special to offer. You don’t know him, and he doesn’t want just anyone.”

“You’re right. No one knows him or what he wants. I don’t know what happened to him after his parents’ death, what made him the way he is now. Maybe he’s disfigured or crippled or just really really shy. Maybe he’s a drag queen by night, and he knows at least a quarter of the men and women in there won’t give to his charities anymore if they discover his true self. I don’t know why, and I don’t need to know. I don’t care. I want one thing.”

He doesn’t ask, and I don’t wait for him to. I don’t need his permission or his acknowledgment.
You don’t own me.
“I want the money.”

He takes a step back, disgust clear on his face, even in the dim light of the patio.
“Of course you do. Christ.”

“I want a limited amount, and I’m willing to sign a contract, a prenup, whatever he thinks necessary.”

“How much?”

“That’s for Mr. Nilsson and me to discuss.”

He shakes his head and the disappointed expression almost makes me waver. Almost.

“You’re just like them,” he grits out.

“What did you think I’d become after you disappeared?”
It’s the only memory I let slip, the only sign I’m angry at him and still holding a grudge.

His eyes are fathomless as he takes me in. “Better.”
He turns on a stiff heel, and as he walks out, calls back, “Nilsson will be in touch.”

“How? A text?” I lay on the sarcasm, thick and cynical.

He pauses, his hand hovering over the doorknob lightly, no sign seeing me has had any effect on him at all.

“Email. Cell service isn’t very reliable around these parts.”

“Just like the people here. What a life he must live.”

He grins. It’s cold. So unlike anything I remember. “Life is the ultimate delivery system for disillusionment.”
With a snap of the door frame, he’s gone.

I sag against the railing and down my glass of champagne. The alcohol burns and carbonation fills my lungs like balloons.
There. It’s done.
The wheels are in motion. I’m on my way to seeing the arts program finally succeed, and I survived a meeting with Kai.
Not half bad for a night’s work.

AUTHOR BIO

Ceri is the author of quirky and sexy contemporary romance novels. She has a major weakness for sappy cuddle moments as much as hot and steamy sex scenes, and a penchant for writing snappy and sarcastic dialogue. She loves romance that isn't afraid to be awkward and uncouth, and thrives on flawed characters with big hearts.

A New York native, Ceri now lives in California with her two cats, Mercy and Eugene Fitzherbert, who should be very thankful she didn't name him frying pan. She is a proud functioning introvert and lover of all things geeky. You can find her haunting the Twitter machine or posting pictures of her ridiculous cats on Instagram.

Unconditional You- Review

Unconditional You by Ceri Grenelle

Series: Stupid Awesome Love #5

 Synopsis:

A marriage of convenience is their second chance at love.

Celeste

With debt threatening to bury me, I have no choice but to fall back on my mother’s lessons and marry a man for money. I’ve got an in with the wealthiest bachelor in town, but I have to go through his Chief of Staff, Kai, before I can even meet the Nilsson heir. Which sucks, because a long time ago Kai promised to run away with me, then left me at the train station with no word. I’m still not over it.


Kai
To my friends, I’m Kai. To the world at large, I’m Bobby Nilsson, mysterious and reclusive heir to the Nilsson fortune. I inherit my parents’ money at the end of the year under a single condition: A wife. There’s only one woman who might be able to convince the world she loves me. The only problem? Celeste doesn’t know that Kai and Nilsson are one and the same. Not to mention she hates me. What's a billionaire heir to do?

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Kai and Celeste met at a charity function when Celeste was only 16 years old. After continuously meeting up at parties throughout the years Kai asks Celeste to run away with him. The only problem is Kai never showed up. This is a standalone book in the series Stupid Awesome Love. All of the characters interconnect, but they can be read as standalone books. Celeste needs money for something so she goes to Kai and asks if he can connect her with the reclusive Bobby Nilsson so she can pose as his wife. It's supposed to be a marriage of conviences, yet Celeste doesn't know that Bobby Nilsson and Kai are the same person. Kai doesn't know if he wants to marry Celeste because she isn't who he remembered so he decides to spend time with her as Kai as a sort of test to see if he can trust her. Both Celeste and Kai are broken people trying to heal. I wish the author would have spent more time building the relationship with Kai and Celeste or made it into two books because this book felt a little rushed. This is a new author to me though and I liked how she made these two characters have flaws. If you like semi-arranged marriages, second chances, billionaire, flawed characters this book is for you.

Defying Gravity by K.K. Allen- Excerpt and giveaway

Excerpt:

She ran a hand through my hair, roughing it at the top, while I gazed at her, soaking in the way her light-green eyes looked almost brown in the dim overhead lights. “I guess this is goodbye, huh?”

I shook my head as my brows pulled together. “No.”

“Tobias,” she said, her tone soft and scolding.

“It’s not.” I searched her expression, praying I wasn’t being an idiot. All this time together, the nights we’d shared, the secrets we’d kept. It couldn’t only be me. I swallowed. “The way I see it, I’ll be focused on basketball, and you’ll have dance. That doesn’t mean we can’t talk. That doesn’t mean we’ll never see each other again.”

She looked lost in her thoughts for a minute, and I knew she was considering my words. “So, what? We’re long-distance … friends?”

I leaned forward, placing my forehead against hers. “You know as well as I that you can’t put a label on what we are. We’re just Amelia and Tobias. We’re moon and earth, living among the stars and sun. We’re everything. And no matter the distance, we still make sense together.”

Her next breath hitched as she sucked it in. “That’s beautiful, but gravity weakens with distance, remember?”

I shook my head, refusing to accept her point. “Not when it comes to us.” I swallowed around the thickness building in my throat. “Not when we defy gravity.”

I kissed her hard, pulling her body close while her mouth molded to mine. We fit so well, not even she could deny that. And she didn’t. Not when I stripped her of her clothes and lay her down. Not when I buried my head between her legs and stroked her devilishly with my tongue. And not when my fingers pushed inside her, working her center until she screamed my name like it was a curse word.

A layer of sweat coated her body when I pulled her into my arms and wrapped her legs around my waist. Our mouths stayed on each other as I walked her to her bedroom and placed her on her bed. I yanked my clothes off next and kicked them to the side before sitting at the edge of her bed and pulling a condom from her nightstand. My cock was hard as stone as I rolled it on, already missing the feel of her wrapped around me.

And when I hovered above her, fitting myself to her body and readying myself for that first thrust, I leaned in to steal another kiss before placing my mouth on her ear. “I’ll find my way back to you, Amelia.” I bit down on tender skin and nudged against her entrance, relishing the moan that slipped past her throat. “I’m about to make sure you don’t forget that.”

Defying Gravity- Review

Defying Gravity by K.K. Allen

Synopsis: 

Our greatest risk was the one we never took …

It was an accidental spring fling three years ago, one week in the mountains of Big Sur, and no one was the wiser. Ignore the fact that Tobias James was my neighbor and my best friend’s older brother. Or that upon our return, his hoop dreams were waiting for him, robbing us of any future we might have shared.

Now, I’m fulfilling my own dreams in LA, and my biggest dream of all is about to come true. The last thing I expected was for my past and my present to collide. Not now. Not here. Not him. But he struts back into my life like he never even left. Unfortunately, I’ll never forget what happened the time he did.

The ball is in my court, but Tobias isn’t above stealing—my power, my resolve, my heart. When he wants a second chance to reignite our connection, my answer is simple—we can’t.

Not unless we defy the rules our dreams are built on … and risk everything.

*Defying Gravity is a STANDALONE sports romance in an interconnected series. You can check out Center of Gravity here ➞ smarturl.it/CenterofGravity

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. I am obsessed with siblings older brother romances and best friends brother romances right now. I did not read Falling from Gravity, which is a prequel to this book beforehand and I wish I would have. It's free on Amazon right now too! This book can be read alone, however you will connect with the characters better I think if you read the prequel and understand better how Tobias and Amelia got together in the first place. Tobias wants to be a basketball star for the NBA, while Amelia wants to be a dancer and in order to achieve their dreams they have to be separated for awhile. I enjoyed the second chance romance and that the book was not full of angst. Amelia and Tobias have a relationship that is on a roller coaster, but it feels genuine. They both make mistakes, they both care for each other and they both want the other to achieve their dreams. Sometimes the journey to get back together is not as smooth as you want it to be. Overall, I liked how at one point both the characters fought for what they wanted. If you are looking for a second chance, sports romance without a lot of angst this is the book for you. I just highly recommend reading the prequel first and I will be doing that soon!

Interference-Release Blitz

Interference by Harlow Cole

Series: St. Michaels Duet #1
Release Date: July 18, 2019

Synopsis:

Brayden
I’m a goddamn prodigy.  It’s true. Ask anyone.
I threw my first curveball the day I was born.

The whole town is waiting on me.
To live up to my father’s famous name. To reach for the stars.

All I want to reach for is her.

But Ashley is the sweet addiction I can’t afford. She’s my best friend’s sister. Hell, she’s practically my little sister. For years, I’ve protected her from guys that want one thing. What happens now that I’ve turned into one of them? Who’s gonna shield her from the way I was made, from my little white lies and from what I’m about to become?

My game plan sounds simple: Pitch my way into the Major League draft and stay out of Ashley Foster’s pants. That first part may be statistically difficult.

The second feels damn near impossible.

Ashley
From the moment we met, I knew he was trouble.
The kind my mother sent me to find.
The type that ruins you for any other brand.

When we were young kids, I didn’t know what to call the frogs and butterflies that danced in my belly whenever Brayden came near. Now I know they have a name.

Those three little words that could heal or destroy him.

Before Brayden, my life was normal. And then it wasn’t. It couldn’t be. Ever again. How was I to know stealing his seat would change all our lives?

Anger and forgiveness share two halves of the same coin.
Our story might make you choose sides.


Interference is a slow burn, coming of age romance that takes readers from the sweet anticipation of first times to the passion of soul mates finally staking their claim. With a touch of Dawson’s Creek and a taste of Friday Night Lights, it is the first half of the completed St. Michaels duet.

My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend

Synopsis:

Mabel “Maybe” Willis died a virgin at the very young age of twenty-four. She leaves behind her parents, Betty and Bruce, her brother, Evan, a laptop filled with one too many Jason Momoa memes, and a Kindle library with more books than one human being could ever finish in a lifetime.
Cause of death: a text message.

Okay. So, I didn’t die.
But I may as well have.

One minute, I’m a woman trying to find her way in the world, and the next, I’m the sender of six of the most embarrassing text messages that have ever been sent in the history of time—or the cell phone. Whatever.

We’re talking code red, send a flipping mayday, the apocalypse is coming kind of texts.

And I didn’t just send them to some random person I’ll never see again.
No. That would be too easy.

I sent them to Milo Ives.

The man who played a starring role in all of my teenage fantasies—and my brother’s lifelong best friend.
And, boy oh boy, has he grown up.
He’s hard-bodied, blue-eyed, jawline-of-stone handsome, crazy successful, and has more money in his bank account than my brain can fathom.

Deflower me, please? I said.

Yeah. Send help.

My Review:

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. It's been a rough couple of weeks for me and I needed a light hearted romantic comedy and all the books I found just fell flat. Then I got an e-mail saying an arc of My Brother's Billionaire Best Friend was sent to my kindle and I was a little hesitant that it would get me out of my funk. I should not have been hesitant because this book is hilarious! This is a sweet and funny book about a girl falling for her brother's best friend. When Maybe meets Milo after not seeing him for a few years he doesn't recognize her right away. Maybe is awkward from the very start, but in a charming and not annoying way. When she is under the influence of anesthesia she sends a few texts to her old crush i.e. her brother's best friend. The friendship between Milo and Maybe is not forced and you will be dying laughing as you read how awkward Maybe can be. The texting may have been one of my favorite parts. Milo is also not a jerk, which most billionaire guys seem to be in these kind of books, but a down to Earth good guy, who unfortunately fails at the unspoken rule of being attracted to your best friend's sister. The side characters were well written also. Honestly if you need a light, sexy, funny read I highly recommend this book. I will definitely be reading more of this duo of authors.

Family means everything to this tattooed bad boy—good thing since he’s about to start his own.

I wanted her the first time I laid eyes on her. But what starts as a fun time, quickly gets serious when the stick turns pink a month later. My life is already chaos with my recently paroled father popping up and the usual drama at the family business building custom motorcycles. Plus our reality show just got picked up for a full season.

But it really hits the fan when I discover that the new woman in my life is the daughter of the President of the West Coast Kings, the baddest motorcycle club in Sacramento—and our biggest client. Think he’ll like being called Grandpa?

Life just got hella complicated.

My Review:
Rating: 4 stars

I received an arc in exchange for an honest review. Nana Malone was a new to me author this summer and one I just can't stop reading! This duet begins with Theo aka Derrick Arlington's body double. Theo is supposed to keep a low profile and just pretend to be Derrick for a month. It doesn't seem so hard until he has to get a bodyguard and not just any bodyguard, but one he is attracted to not only for her looks but for her personality. Zia tried to help Derrick before and he did not seem to want her help until she gets assigned to be his bodyguard. She doesn't want to turn down the job so she just puts her feelings and pride aside and treat him like any other assignment. That doesn't last long when the chemistry starts to flare between these two. The only problem is Derrick isn't really Derrick and when secrets are consistently getting in the way will the two come together or break apart? This book had great sexual tension, brought in the other characters from her previous books, and even though I guessed pieces of the book it still ended on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the second part of the duet. Read below for a excerpt from the first book.

EXCERPT

“Get rid of her, or she comes with us.”

“I’m not going anywhere, buddy.” I jabbed him in the chest in an attempt to create more space. In close combat with this guy, I’d lose. Sure, I was faster and nimbler. But one good hit and I’d be down.

His sharp, slashing brows drew down. “Suit yourself. I know what to do with someone like you.”

I’d bet he did. And none of those things included me sleeping in my warm cozy bed tonight. “Babe, come on the royal family wants a photo.”

Gray Eyes arched a brow. “Darling, you go ahead I’ll meet you there.” His voice was sin and bad decisions mixed together.

I stood my ground. Now was no time for him to be noble. “Oh, I know King Sebastian insists.”

“I’ll have to pass, love.”

“Yeah, you heard him, he’ll have to —”

He was talking and also raising his right arm. All I saw was the black gleam, and I acted, launching myself in the air and slamming against Gray Eyes. Toppling him over and covering his body with mine, tranq gun raised.

Wasting no time, I squeezed twice. The asshole about to shoot at us was big. Who knew if two doses would be enough? But I was prepared to run.

The muscle-bound brute fell to his knees. I rolled on my back, ready for anything.

But I didn’t need to worry. Two hits with the tranq had done the job.

I sucked in a shuddering breath.

When I turned to my bed of muscles, he was glaring at me. “Do you have a bloody death wish?”

His voice had lost some of the sin quality. It was colder, like he was pissed.

I pushed to my feet. “What? You wanted me to let you go with that asshole? He was going to kill you.”

“I promise you, I’m quite capable.”

Unbelievable. “You could have fooled me. Men wielding weapons and shoving you into a car are generally bad news.”

His gaze narrowed as he glowered at me. “I had it under control.”

I crossed my arms. “Oh, so you're delusional. Okay then. Goodbye, crazy. And P.S. You're welcome.”

“You generally only say thank you when you’re glad someone did something.”

I shook my head. “For fuck’s sake. Next time I’ll let you die then. Pity. You look expensive, like someone would miss you, but it’s no skin off my back. I’ll just let the homicidal asshole kill you when he wakes up.”

“You could have been hurt. Did you pay attention to what just happened?”

“You mean besides me putting on a display of badassery the likes of which you’ve never seen? I also made this couture look damn good. Oh yes… and saved your ass.”

“My ass didn’t need saving, princess.”

“I’m not a princess, asshole. I’m a King’s Knight. I don’t need anybody to save me. Have a nice life.” As I strutted off, I flipped him the bird.

Author Bio

USA Today Bestselling Author, NANA MALONE’s love of all things romance and adventure started with a tattered romantic suspense she borrowed from her cousin on a sultry summer afternoon in Ghana at a precocious thirteen. She’s been in love with kick butt heroines ever since.

With her overactive imagination, and channeling her inner Buffy, it was only a matter a time before she started creating her own characters. Waiting for her chance at a job as a ninja assassin, Nana, meantime works out her drama, passion and sass with fictional characters every bit as sassy and kick butt as she thinks she is.

The books in her series have been on multiple Amazon Kindle and Barnes & Noble best seller lists as well as the iTunes Breakout Books list and most notably the USA Today Bestseller list.

Until that ninja job comes through, you’ll find Nana working hard on additional books for her series as well as other fun, sassy romances for characters that won’t leave her alone. And if she’s not working or hiding in the closet reading, she’s acting out scenes for her husband, daughter and puppy in sunny San Diego.
