Bright lights, big passion…

Winning an all-expenses-paid weekend in New York with Hollywood's sexiest heartthrob makes Faith Logan the envy of women everywhere. This small-town nurse has too many responsibilities, including caring for her aging parents, to be interested in fame or status. But as the sensual celebrity escorts her to exclusive Manhattan nightclubs and glitzy movie premieres, Faith is falling fast for the genuine, charismatic man behind the slick media image.

More used to fanatics and groupies, Irvin Freeman is surprised and intrigued by Faith's down-to-earth personality. One impulsive kiss turns their private flirtation into public news. But paparazzi and crazed admirers are making her doubt their potential as a couple. Will the pressures of fame cause their love to fade before he can convince her they've found their own real-life happy ending?

Her reputation is everything, but she can’t resist temptation when given an opportunity to join Club Valentine, the exclusive sex club that caters to the wealthy.

Roman Valentine makes a living providing people a place to exercise their sexual preferences with discretion. He knows how to keep secrets, especially since he has some of his own he doesn’t want discovered. Alexandra provides a distraction he doesn’t need, but Roman how can he say no when she makes him an offer he can’t refuse.

Their agreement is simple. Discretion, orgasms, and never mix business with pleasure. But what happens when business becomes personal? How will they react when the secrets they keep buried threaten to overtake them? And what’s Alexandra supposed to do when Roman’s secret directly impacts her life?

BEARING IT ALL

Highlander's Beloved #3

Vonnie Davis

Releasing Oct 27th, 2015

Loveswept

A Scottish hunter and a French secret agent find themselves on a collision course with danger—and irresistible desire—in Vonnie Davis’s new bear-shifting Highlander novel, perfect for fans of Jennifer Ashley and Shelly Laurenston.

In the pine-dense mountains of the Scottish Highlands, shape-shifter Ronan Matheson is running free when a desperate woman parachutes out of the sky, directly onto his furry, powerful chest. Instead of clawing her to death, Ronan’s inner bear longs to keep her safe. Once he’s back in human form, Ronan is amused by the mysterious beauty’s fearless attitude—and tempted by her expertly toned physique. But what could she possibly be doing in this isolated stretch of the Highlands?

French intelligence agent Anisa Brosseau never imagined she’d be on the CIA’s bad side—until she’s framed for treason and forced to flee in a stolen drone. Hiding out in a remote cabin, Anisa just needs some time to clear her name. What she doesn’t need is a brooding, muscle-bound Scot in a skimpy kilt to drive her crazy with lust. But when Anisa’s enemies come knocking on his door, Ronan calls on a secret weapon to protect his turf and the bonny lass he’s come to love.

Series Name:  -

Author: Shelly Bell

Genre: Romance

Overall Stars:  4 STARS

Investigation

BDSM

How can you deal with the possibility of their kink being a reason for being framed for 

murder? 

A woman who refuses to be tied down...

Investigative reporter Rachel Dawson is always looking for her next big story. While 

working on a feature about BDSM, she lands a one-night, no-holds-barred pass into the 

exclusive sex club, Benediction. Rachel doesn't have a deviant bone in her body—or so

Logan witness a gruesome murder. 

A Dom who's determined to bind her to him...

Rachel and Logan search for evidence to clear their names, the attraction they've been 

fighting ignites into fiery passion. Love is the last thing Rachel wants, but night by night, 

as Logan binds her body, he unravels the knots around her heart. And when they 

uncover a shocking political conspiracy, Rachel will stop at nothing to reveal the 

truth…and it just might kill her.  (Amazon blurb)

Suspense, drama and the incredible dominant willing to use BDSM on his submissive. 

Please excuse me while I fan myself, grab a glass of water and wonder why I never 

knew Shelly Bell  wrote novels until Blue Blooded. Trust me, she absolutely grabs your 

attention once the action begins - but you do have to be patient until the basics of the 

novel are placed and the characters backgrounds are explained. I must admit however 

that the preparation of the characters until the action began, or rather until the novel 

grabbed my attention, was long and I almost decided not to finish, yet, deciding to keep 

going was a saving grace. Considering the enjoyment I had reading this novel  it is 

certain that Shelly Bell will be on my to watched list.

The amazing Stephanie Evanovich returns with The Sweet Spot, the sizzling story of everyone’s favorite couple from her New York Times bestseller Big Girl Panties: hunky professional baseball player Chase Walker and his sassy wife Amanda

When pro baseball player Chase Walker first meets Amanda at her restaurant, it’s love at first sight. While Amanda can’t help noticing the superstar with the Greek-god-build, he doesn’t have a chance of getting to first—or any other—base with her. A successful entrepreneur who’s built her business from scratch, Amanda doesn’t need a Prince Charming to sweep her off her feet. And a curvy girl who likes to cook and eat isn’t interested in being around the catty, stick-thin herd of females chasing Chase and his teammates.

But Chase isn’t about to strike out. A man who isn’t interested in playing the field, he’s a monogamist who wants an independent woman like Amanda. His hopes rally when she discovers that squeaky-clean Chase has a few sexy and very secret pre-game rituals that turn the smart, headstrong businesswoman on—and into his number one fan.

Then a tabloid discovers the truth and turns their spanking good fun into a late- night punch-line. Is Amanda ready to let loose and swing for the fences? Or will the pressure of Chase’s stardom force them to call it quits?

DARKER THE RELEASE

Revenge Saga Book Two

Claire Kent

Releasing Oct 6th, 2015

Loveswept

USA Today bestselling author Claire Kent continues her emotionally charged story of longing, betrayal, and insatiable desire as two lovers find themselves in a deadly standoff of seduction.

Kelly Watson got involved with mogul Caleb Marshall for all the wrong reasons: namely, to prove that he murdered her father twenty years ago. But Caleb is hotter than hell, the sex is mind-blowing, and Kelly’s afraid that she’s falling for him despite her chilling suspicions. Now, the more time she spends in his arms, the more she risks betraying her identity and losing her heart. The only way out is to discover the truth before Caleb figures out who she really is.

Caleb’s feelings for Kelly are taking him into uncharted territory, replacing his weakness for call girls and one-night stands with a hunger for something real. Still, the ruthless businessman in him can’t resist looking into Kelly’s background. When his investigation suggests that he’s not the only one with something to hide, Caleb is forced to decide if he can trust someone who’s been telling him lies. For the first time, Caleb understands how intimacy can be so tempting—and, in the wrong hands, so dangerous.

Darker the Release is intended for mature audiences.

ALPHA BOOK CLUB REVIEW

Title: Darker The Release

Series: Revenge Saga, #2

Author: Claire Kent

Genre: Contemporary Romance

“Kelly felt almost dizzy.  She was becoming deeply aroused by Caleb’s attention, but her heart was torn in two, and she still had that off feeling that wouldn’t go away.  “You might be surprised by what you can’t hide from me.’”

3.5 stars.  This book overall was pretty good and although it is book 2 (I didn’t read book 1) I caught on pretty quickly.  Overall a decent book, not sure if I would read it again or the series.

Kelly Watson got involved with mogul Caleb Marshall for all the wrong reasons: namely, to prove that he murdered her father twenty years ago. But Caleb is hotter than hell, the sex is mind-blowing, and Kelly’s afraid that she’s falling for him despite her chilling suspicions. Now, the more time she spends in his arms, the more she risks betraying her identity and losing her heart. The only way out is to discover the truth before Caleb figures out who she really is.

For the first time, Caleb understands how intimacy can be so tempting—and, in the wrong hands, so dangerous.

So overall, the book was pretty good, but I wasn’t in love with it!  This is book 2 in the series, but I don’t think you really need to read book 1 to figure out what’s going on.  I don’t mind sex in a book but when that’s all the book is it gets a little redundant.  It was a good book, but I don’t think I would read it again!
