EXCERPT #1

Frost set the book aside with casual grace, then prowled toward me, his gloved hands clasped at his back. The quiet thud of his footsteps matched the pensive rhythm of the ticking clock, amping my fear.

Despite his cool demeanor, I was sure the man had his temper on a short tether. That’s why I didn’t look above his neck for fear of seeing that anger twisting his face, or worse, blazing in his eyes.

Silky chest hair peeked from beneath his T-shirt. And he seemed dark and dangerous in those faded jeans. The soft denim hugged his muscular thighs while loosely cupping the masculine bulge between them, the bulge my body was all too familiar with.

Down low, my sex clenched in remembrance as he made his approach.

“Now that you mention it,” he mused in the gentlest of tones, “needles are a tad frightening.” He dipped his head, forcing me to look at him. “Tongue depressors are even worse, but you should be especially wary of thermometers. One can never be quite sure where they’ve been.”

“Really, Dr. Frost. Ever since….” My gaze followed him until he disappeared behind me.

“Go on,” came the soft voice at my back.

I swallowed. “E-ever since I was a child I’ve been afraid of thermometers—I mean needles!”

Frost reappeared on my right side. One of his brows rose a fraction. “You know, if you’re going to lie to my face, at least do it better. On second thought, just leave. I have no patience for nonsense today.”

“But I’m not lying.”

Yeah, I was.

He slammed to a stop in front of me, his expression a complexity of shadows. “You must believe I’m a fool.”

“I don’t.”

“Yes, you do.”

“No, really, I.…”

“Enough. How about some brutal honesty?” Now his tone was menacing and sharp. “You think I couldn’t read your face? That I wouldn’t recognize mistrust and contempt? Or fear? Especially in someone I’ve—” He inhaled sharply through his nose and looked away. “Someone like you,” he finished, returning his gaze to mine.

#Synopsis:

Compulsion Blurb:

Stranded in the friend zone, Orion Lance has been in love with his best friend Clo since high school and unable to work out how to get her to see him as more.

After catching her husband cheating, Clo turns to her best friend Orion for support, only to find he wants more than she’s willing to give.

While Orion shows her that not all men are pricks, and not all roses have thorns, Clo must find a way to let go of the past and open up to a second chance at love.

Addiction Blurb:

Birdie Lance isn’t a victim. She’s an idiot who let a boy get too close. At least that’s how she sees it. It's easy to not make the same mistake again — she doesn’t let anyone in anymore.

After the accident, Dr. Drake Barclay threw himself into his obstetrics practice, and uses boxing to keep the demons at bay. A recovering addict, he is barely existing, until he meets the bombshell who pushes all his buttons.

Two people coping with the traumatic scars of their past find an irresistible bond that may just heal them both.

Misti Murphy writes about smart, sexy women and the dirty talking alphas that love them. She also enjoys emotionally torturing them. Damaged alphas with a twist are her favorite.

When she's not writing, she's enjoying her own happily ever after with her teacher hubby, four hellions, and two fur babies. She has a weakness for chocolate, procaffinating, and stalking Facebook

Clarissa never thought at age twenty-six she would be fearing for her life. Everything was going as planned, until her husband started showing a side of himself she didn’t know existed. Failed attempts at leaving him have now left her fighting for her life. Literally. She knows she has to figure out a plan to free herself from his tight grip, but it’s harder than she imagined.

When things get too intense between Clarissa and Rig, he decides he can no longer be her safety net. With his feelings clouding his judgment, it’s hard for him to choose between right and wrong. Will Rig be able to figure out what he wants in time to save Clarissa’s life, or will she become another statistic of domestic abuse?

Alpha Book Club's Review

“Fresh tears blur my vision while I listen, making sure the monster I once thought was my loving husband has left in the moment everything went wrong. I could barely hear anything above the sound of my ribs cracking. The ringing in my left ear is starting to subside, but I’m still unsure if it’s safe to get up.”

Wow what an emotional read!! Get your tissues handy, this story is so beautiful and so sad. I really enjoyed reading this book!

Rig endured much pain after a tragedy left him trying to figure out his place in the world. He now plows through situations, leaving nothing safe in his wake. He lives for the thrill of danger and loves to be on the open road. He doesn’t mix business with pleasure, and he didn’t expect to fall in love with the girl he is hiding out.

When things get too intense between Clarissa and Rig, he decides he can no longer be her safety net. With his feelings clouding his judgment, it’s hard for him to choose between right and wrong.

Will Rig be able to figure out what he wants in time to save Clarissa’s life, or will she become another statistic of domestic abuse?
Without giving away too much, I just want to say that this story is about an abused woman, Clarissa tries to figure out a way to leave her abusive husband. But leaving is a lot easier said than done. Rig loves living on the road, with nothing or nowhere to call home and then he finds Clarissa hiding and his whole world comes to a halt. Like I said I don’t want to give too much away, but this story will have you laughing, crying, nervous and so many other things. I really loved this book, there was never a dull moment with this book. Great, great job!

Repaired by Melissa Collins

Repaired by Melissa Collins is a book about two damaged men finding each other by chance and being drawn together -- almost pulled towards each other as they each fulfill a need the other has. While reading this book I quickly fell in love with Liam and connected with Parker -- and I knew that these two men were going to have a powerful story.

Liam Davis is a tortured man with a haunted past that has made him need certain things in his life. He has a close knit group of friends, those who he is closest too..yet they really don't know Liam. Nobody knows Liam. As Liam runs from his past determined to avoid deep connections..and doing just that..he meets Parker Ryan.

Parker Ryan, attorney at law - wealthy and by any onlooker a man with a perfect life. In reality, Parker is viewed as a failure and regret by the one man who should always love him, his Father. Parker tries to do everything he can to gain his father's approval -- yet he continues to come up short. Resolved that this is just how his life will be he has all but accepted that this will be his life, until he meets Liam Davis.

Fate brings them together but a recognition of fractured souls keeps them together as the men complete each other and show each other that there is always a chance to be repaired.

"Sometimes life worked out in the most unlikely ways. Could I have possibly known when I met Liam, demanding that he help me fix my car that we’d be here? Could I have known that he would alter my world so much I’d finally grow the backbone I’d been missing for years and finally stand up to my father? Could he have known that linking his life with mine would bring his past to the surface, bringing him back to the family he’d left so many years ago? No. We could never know those things. And we never would. We’d never know how our past would affect our future. We’d never know how today would tumble on into tomorrow."~Parker

If you have not read anything by Melissa Collins then I highly suggest you grab your box of Kleenex and a big glass of wine -- then dive right in to Repaired. Melissa writes stories that draw you in, the characters will capture your heart, you will become invested in their journey as you read her books. Collins' is known for writing characters who are slightly damaged with painful pasts that are able to overcome while building solid, loving, lasting relationships -- even when it's the last thing they are looking for.

While reading Repaired I admit there were moments when I thought, "Okay, Melissa what is going to happen here?" But I knew that Ms. Collins' would soon be delivering a plot twist or character trait that would draw me in because these two characters were just too complex to expect anything less -- let me say, I was right! So if you find yourself wondering, why there is so much back story or something along that thought..have faith and keep reading! In the end, Repaired made me feel...well, repaired. I had felt Liam & Parker's pain,

I had followed through their journey of coming together, and I had witnessed them repairing each other's wounded souls. The way the story was developed literally brings the reader through the journey with the characters -- so have the faith!

"All we’d ever wanted was to be loved for our broken pieces, not despite them. All we’d ever wanted was to feel repaired enough to find happiness in the simplest moments of life. And with Parker, I had just that."~Liam

I am sad the journey is done now and I "patiently" await Ms.Collins next story! 5 Stars ~

#Poser (The Hashtag Series) by Cambria Hebert

Title: #Poser (Hashtag Series #5) - not a standalone

Release Date: August 18, 2015
Genre: New adult college romance

Synopsis:

Posers gonna pose

I am a man who had nothing, but found everything.

I’ll never go back to nothing ever again.

I vowed to protect her, and that’s exactly what I’m gonna do.

The pictures I stumbled upon haunt me still, the secret I shoulder is heavy.

They say secrets put distance between two people, but the truth is far more destructive than keeping it will ever be.

I won’t ever tell. She can’t ever know.

When I look in the mirror my reflection is of who I’m afraid I’ll become and not the man I am.

It makes me feel like a poser, no better than all the others pretending to be exactly who they aren’t.

How does a man keep it together when everything is unraveling right here in his hands?

I didn’t start any of this.

I never asked for it.

But it came knocking at my door.

When secrets and threats knock, I don’t hide.

I open the door.

Because the best way to take down a poser is to be one.

You can often find her running on the treadmill (she’d rather be eating a donut), painting her toenails (because she bites her fingernails), or walking her chorkie (the real boss of the house).

Cambria has written within the young adult and new adult genres, penning many paranormal and contemporary titles. Her favorite genre to read and write is romantic suspense. A few of her most recognized titles are: Text, Torch, Tryst, Masquerade, and Recalled.
