TOUR HOST: XPRESSO BOOK TOURS

Wingman rule number two: never reveal how much you want them.

Lex hates Gabi. Gabi hates Lex. But, hey, at least the hate is mutual, right? All Lex has to do is survive the next few weeks training Gabi in all the ways of Wingmen Inc. and then he can be done with her. But now that they have to work together, the sexual tension and fighting is off the charts. He isn’t sure if he wants to strangle her or throw her against the nearest sturdy table and have his way with her.

But Gabi has a secret, something she’s keeping from not just her best friend but her nemesis too. Lines are blurred as Lex becomes less the villain she’s always painted him to be…and starts turning into something more. Gabi has always hated the way she’s been just a little bit attracted to him—no computer-science major should have that nice of a body or look that good in glasses—but “Lex Luthor” is an evil womanizer. He’s dangerous. Gabi should stay far, far away.

Then again, she’s always wanted a little danger.

FATAL IDENTITY is the tenth novel in Marie Force’s Fatal Series being published by HarlequinHQN. Check out all the stops on the tour below, and make sure you order your copy today! 

Every family has its secrets…

As the first anniversary of her marriage to Vice President Nick Cappuano approaches, Lieutenant Sam Holland is dreaming of Bora Bora—sun, sand and a desperately needed break from the DC grind. But real life has a way of intervening, and Sam soon finds herself taking on one of the most perplexing cases of her career.

Government worker Josh Hamilton begs Sam to investigate his shocking claim that his parents stole him from another family thirty years ago. More complicated still, his “father” is none other than the FBI director. When a member of Josh’s family is brutally murdered, Sam begins to question how deep this cover-up goes. Is it possible the revered director was part of a baby-napping ring and that others involved are also targets?

With a killer intent on deadly revenge and her team still reeling from a devastating loss, Sam’s plate is full—and when Nick and their son, Scotty, take ill, is her dream of a tropical anniversary celebration in peril too?

Review Update || week of July 25

The last few weeks have been a bit of a downfall for me when it comes to reading. I have had to force myself to read books I volunteered to tour with.

That said (and I will email each company I've signed up to tour with), many of my posts this week that were supposed to be reviews, will simply be promos. I will have the books reviewed, by the weekend is my goal. I know how important reviews are for the author, and it kills me that I volunteered for this schedule and I have to break my commitments.

Thank you for understanding.

Get fired instead of the promised promotion? Check.

Wealthy parents cut me off when I refuse to follow their path for my life? Check.

Now I’m in Cricket Creek, SC—a place where no New Yorker belongs—disowned and broke, with a new job that I can’t mess up. Oh yeah, and staring at my one-night stand, who happens to be the complete opposite of my type.

Cocky.

SOURCE: INKSLINGER PR

Dimitri Tasarov has never had a choice in what he was. From infancy, he had been raised with the knowledge that he was a monster, an unlovable creature without a soul, until a single act of kindness threw his entire world into a tailspin.

Ava Emerson had always led a reluctantly sheltered existence. Friendship was a luxury that came with questions she couldn’t afford to answer.

They were an unlikely pair. He lived behind his mask and his roses, and she lived behind her secrets, yet they shared a bond that could get them killed if anyone ever found out.

Times were changing. The city was in turmoil. The weak were unprotected and someone needed to make a stand. But Dimitri wasn’t the only one with eyes on the north, or Ava, and they will stop at nothing to claim them both.

Can Dimitri keep Ava safe, or will the devil fall?

Lucia

It all started with a contract signed by him, then by me, while our families watched. While my father sat silent, a man defeated, giving his daughter to the Benedetti monsters.

I obeyed. I played my part. I signed my name and gave away my life. I became their living, breathing trophy, a constant symbol of their power over us.

That was five years ago.

Then came the time for him to claim me. For Salvatore Benedetti to own me.

I had vowed vengeance. I had learned hate. And yet, nothing could have prepared me for the man who now ruled my life.

I expected a monster, one I would destroy. But nothing is ever black or white. No one is either good or evil. For all his darkness, I saw his light. For all his evil, I saw his good. As much as he made me hate him, a passion hotter than the fires of hell burned inside me.

I was his, and he was mine. 

My very own monster.

Salvatore

I owned the DeMarco Mafia Princess. She belonged to me now. We had won, and they had lost. And what better way to teach a lesson than to take from them that which is most precious? Most beloved?

I was the boy who would be king. Next in line to rule the Benedetti Family. Lucia DeMarco was the spoils of war. Mine to do with as I pleased.

It was my duty to break her. To make her life a living hell. My soul was dark, I was hell bound. And there was no way out, not for either of us. Because the Benedetti family never lost, and in our wake, we left destruction. It’s how it had always been. How I believed it would always be.

Until Lucia.

Author’s Note: Salvatore and Lucia’s story is a steamy standalone romance with a happily-ever-after. No cliffhanger and no cheating. It is intended for mature readers.

No one can know about our love—and hiding only makes it hotter.

Dallas Sykes has a reputation. He is known for his parties, his money, and the countless women on his arm. Yet the Dallas I know is a different man—darker, smarter, and unbearably sexy. Just one look from him can leave me breathless; the anticipation of his touch can make me lose control.

Inextricably bound by our past, we keep each other’s secrets. And while there are people who have the power to hurt us, it’s the truth that threatens us most of all. 

Dallas can be mine only behind closed doors, our passion as searing as it is forbidden. Yet nothing in this world has ever felt so desperately, deliciously right.

Hottest Mess is intended for mature audiences.

When we read Sinner's Steel, we all thought T-Rex died. We watched as the club went to look for him; we watched as his best friend Tank refused to believe he was gone; we watched as they laid T-Rex to rest.

Well he's not dead.

And he's pissed at the betrayal of the men he once considered his brothers.

For three long, harrowing months, he's been locked in Viper's dungeon and has been beaten mercilessly. He held on to his secrets until he couldn't any longer, and still, he was beaten again and again. Until finally he was left for dead.

Naiya was once offered to Viper by her own mother. Seven years later and her mother, who was Viper's sweet butt, is dead -- and Viper thinks Naiya owes him.

So he takes her.

But not without fight from her. A fight that has her tossed in the dungeon where she meets the torn, broken man who she will come to love, a man who no longer relates to T-Rex, but goes only by his true given name, Holt.

These two. Their journey was.... I won't say the most difficult of the Sinner Tribe books, but it was different. Both of our characters have a reason to want revenge against Viper. Both of our characters have a reason to want away from the MC life.

Holt's internal battles throughout the story were extremely well written. His belief that the men he called his brothers, that they abandoned him, had more than one reason backing it up. He wants to go to them to kill them all, he's so upset with them, but a chance meeting with his once best friend, Tank, and he starts to question things -- because according to Tank, they didn't give up on him (which, if you read Sinner's Steel, you know they looked and were pissed when certain members more or less gave up on T-Rex long before they found the body).

One of the things I liked the most about this particular book was probably the fact that it was about a MC member who wanted to get out -- which, if you know the genre, does not happen nicely. I liked that it was Holt against the world -- with Naiya at his side. This smart, sassy woman showed on multiple occasions what an asset she could be to Holt. Granted, she had her not so smart moments that had Holt seeing red -- but only because he became quite the protective beast where she was concerned.

I absolutely loved this story. On top of the whole Holt-Naiya/Viper/Sinner Tribe line, we also had the bromance that was Holt and Tank -- it made me tear up multiple times, I have to say -- and a little question of Shaggy...

Such a cute story and I loved the way it ended. I have much respect for Jagger with how this ended, too. I hope Tank is next.

I really hope Tank is next.

I mean, there's plenty of lead-in for it....
