★★★★1/2

A tragic past threatens to destroy a passionate future in this dangerously sexy new novel from the New York Times bestselling author of Wicked for You.

Though strong-armed into locating Lily to help put away a drug lord, ex-con Stone Sutter isn’t anyone’s snitch. When he finds the terrified beauty, he vows to keep her safe—but he isn’t sure he has the strength to shield her from his own desires.

As an unquenchable fire sparks between them, Lily’s tormentor stalks ever closer, and she must overcome her darkest fear to survive. Can she trust the bond she and Stone have formed as they’re falling in deeper?

Blackie

My name is Blackie, I’m the vice president of the Satan’s Knights MC and I’m an addict.

I’ve been trading one addiction for another for as long as I can remember.

I make no apologies for my addictions, nor do I try to hide them.

Until my latest addiction threatens to destroy not just me but her.

For the first time I want to fight the need and not gravitate towards it. I try to deny it and not succumb to it but I’m a prisoner to her purity.

I’m Satan’s soldier, a demon dressed in leather.

She’s an angel, innocent and full of light, she’s my lace.

Leather.

Lace.

Me.

Her.

A temptation so lethal neither of us may survive but, every demon craves an angel.

Guide me to the light.

Take me from the dark.

Give me back my life.

Let me share yours.

They are the selfish words of an addict and they are my truth.

Lacey Parrish

My name is Lacey Parrish and I have a secret, one I’ve tried to deny for a long time, one I’ve tried to spare the world from.

I am a manic-depressive.

Just like my dad.

Some days I’m high on life.

Most days I try to escape it.

People think they know me, they think they see me but the truth is no one knows who I really am. No one sees the real me… a broken girl with a mind that betrays her.

Except Blackie.

He’s my savior, the man who silences my maker.

He’s my knight in shining armor, the man who puts my life before his.

He’s my leather and I’m his lace.

Two broken souls that have the power to heal one another.

This is our story, an unapologetic tale full of temptations.

A love story called Leather and Lace.

Gabby Morgan isn’t looking for love. Not even a little romance. Following a rocky past that she’d just as soon forget, she’s determined to focus on the future. One that most certainly doesn’t involve the tough-as-nails, short-on-words, hot-as-hell biker…or his kid.

Blake Mahone may not be done with women, but he’s finished with relationships. Then Gabby Morgan enters the picture. She’s flawless, refined, and as his kid’s teacher, way out of his league. She acts like she hates him, but her eyes tell a different story. Before he knows it, Blake finds himself hot for teacher, and he’s more than ready to learn all her secrets. Now all he has to do is convince her to give him a shot…without getting them both killed in the process.

Limitless | December 22, 2015 | New Adult
★★★★

SOURCE: AUTHOR

A chance meeting between two young souls is all it took...

When Adalynne Fairweather was just a child, her entire life had already been planned. From Ivy League schools to a career in law, adventure was the one thing out of her reach. That was until a boy with bright green eyes and a monster truck t-shirt wandered into her back yard, giving the adventure she longed for. 

Refuge can be found in the most unlikely places…

Damon Knight’s abusive home life left him longing for a childhood he never had—until he wandered into Adalynne’s yard. She took his hand, smiled at him, and even gave him a nickname. Fox. The woods became their escape—a place to flee from reality. He discovered music through Adalynne’s piano, and not long after that, she gave him a guitar. Little did he know that gift would change his life forever.

Years later, their age is not the only thing that’s changed...

Adalynne’s love for Fox took on a life of its own. As they begin to build their lives, her heart aches for him in ways she can’t understand. As they slowly begin to drift apart, Adalynne becomes more desperate to cling to their secret romance. 

But Fox is no longer the bright-eyed child from the woods. Her shy, beautiful Fox has grown into a dark, troubled man with a guitar. And when her last attempt to salvage their relationship breaks Adalynne’s heart, catching Fox a second time seems just out of her reach.

review || 120 DAYS { release day } by M. Stratton

M. Stratton | November 17, 2015 | Family Life
★★★★

SOURCE: SBB PROMOTIONS

120 days... The average number of days someone stays at Last Resort.
17 weeks... Surrounded by love, laughter and support.
4 months... More time than they had before they walked through the door.

Real estate developer Ethan McGregor’s life was changed forever when his younger brother told him he was dying of cancer. Ethan was ready to do whatever it took to save Evan, but Evan had other plans.

Say goodbye…
Samantha Truman runs the privately-funded Last Resort. Watching her parent’s drive and determination to live longer than the doctors gave them was the inspiration for the resort. It is her heart and soul--she lives to make sure that each day is precious, and one more sunrise or sunset can make all the difference the guests at Last Resort need.

After finding his brother’s journal, and discovering more about Last Resort, Ethan is determined to find out if this place is one of those “too good to be true” places that turn out to be a scam. But he was not ready for Samantha Truman, he was not ready for everything to change, for his point of view in life to be so incredibly altered, for the world to turn its axis. There are, after all, some things Ethan can’t control, who to fall in love with is one of them.

How much can change in 120 days?

{ excerpt } .

“Lesson number one dumbass, never try to hit a pissed off motherfucker. Lesson two, never leave your friends behind like you and Ryan left us, and that fucktard is the reason Paul was killed. It should have been you, you prick! Stay the fuck away from me and believe me, you will get yours one day Zaniel Baker.”

As Michael turned away, Zaniel grabbed his ankles and down Michael went. Zaniel had little time to get up and pommel him because Trevor and Ryan were doing their best to separate the men as they tussled on the floor.

When they pried them apart, Michael was last heard saying, “You’re a dead man Zaniel, a dead man!” Trevor struggled to pull him out of the bar but had been successful while Ryan kept Zaniel from going after Michael.

One of the waitresses came over to help clean up things in the other waitress’ area. They both gave the guys evil stares. As Ryan tried to get Zaniel straight, one of the bar attendants came over. “Hey guys, I got a call from the owner, he watches on the cameras and he asked that you guys leave. I know you are regulars, but we don’t need this kind of hassle around here, maybe in a few days come back, but without the bullshit.”

Zaniel was up from the both and pushed past the attendant. Who was at least five eleven and looked like he could have played lineman for some professional football team. He kept his cool and let Ryan walk past him without another word.

Ryan caught up with Zaniel as he headed towards the parking lot. He looked around wearyingly for Michael and Trevor. He didn’t want a repeat scene out there on the parking lot. There were no other disturbances. He jogged up to Zaniel and asked him, “Bro, come on you going to be pissed all night?”

Zaniel turned on him and Ryan instantly backed up. “Wow, really? That is all you have to say?”

“What you want me to say Zaniel? You brought this bullshit on yourself? Huh, you know you did! Bringing up that old shit. No one wants to talk about that day. Ever! We have our own lives now and the last thing I would want on my birthday is to talk about my plan to go rob something that turn to shit and one of my best friend got killed because of my plan. You want me to say more Zaniel?”

Zaniel stood there and looked at Ryan. “So, it’s not just Mike that feels some kind of way about that day huh? You, and Trevor too? You all think I should have been in that alley?”

“What? What the hell are you talking about Zaniel? Man, we came here tonight to our spot to have drinks and laughs. All this shit that just happened didn’t have to and it doesn’t have nothing to do with you staying back and helping me out. Don’t you think Mike feels guilty enough? Man, he doesn’t want to relive that day because of how guilty he feels. We all do Zan, we all do! But you know what. You go do you. Tell your mom I said what’s up this weekend when you go visit. Char and I are taking the kids to the beach.” Ryan shook his head and walked off.

Zaniel stayed in the parking lot another five minutes before he got into his car and drove off.

{ coffee date with taabia } .

I'm loving my coffee dates! Today I'm drinking a strawberry acai refresher with lemonade, while waiting for Taabia to come back with her drink of choice. She sits down with a Caramel Macchiato, soy, with extra sugar, cream, and whipped cream -- that looks pretty delectable to me. I might have to look into that one next time!

So! Ms. Taabia (because I put 'Ms.' and 'Mr.' in front of everyone's names...), let's begin to get to know you...

1. What are 5 words to best describe you?
Introvert
Silly
Spirited
Intellectual
Thoughtful

2. Who would play you in the movie of your life?
Melissa McCarthy, only because of how she has evolved as an actress. She’s not just a comedian.

3. What are 5 words to best describe your writing style?
Readable
Sexy
Attention-grabbing
Idiomatic
Psychosomatic

4. Where’s your favorite place to write?
My bedroom is my favorite place to write, and second best, my dining room table.

5. If you couldn’t write, what would you be doing (or, what do you do aside from writing)?
I would like mentor teenagers, as I have done in the past.
Love this answer! 

6. We all have our book boyfriends… Who is your current one? What about him draws you to him?
Due to writing, I haven’t had an opportunity to read much, but because of my writing, I am able to talk with some of the hottest cover models, John Quinlan, and Jimmy Thomas, just to name two.
I may have to say the whole cover model thing is a definite incentive to finding time to get my own books written ;)

7. Of your characters (your ‘babies’), who are you ‘closest’ to?
I would have to say, crazy Jessica. I birthed her, and helped her grew up into a much more crazier human being. *wink*

8. Was there anything in this book that caused you to pause, that was difficult to get past? Any annoying character flaws you had to push through?
This particular book has been one the hardest to write. The muses were very strong. They had plenty to say, and as a writer, I feel as though I am in control but not this book. There were more conversations going on in my head, it drove me a little crazy. I became aggravated because they would not listen to me. *smile*
I know all about the characters not listening to what you have to say... But I love strong characters and definitely am going to look for these things when I read CALLOUS TRUTHS.

9. Lastly… you get to take a breather from writing – what do you do?
Between writes, I almost always binge on Netflix.

10. Last 5-star book you read?
Beautiful Chaos by Kami Garcia and Margaret Stohl
