It’s Round Two of high stakes Love Connection on Olympus, and this time, everything has changed. For Aphrodite, at least. 

Ares is on deck, and Aphrodite is nervous. As much as she loves to hook up with him, she doesn’t trust him as far as she could throw him, which isn’t very far. He’s a big dude. They haven’t been together in a very long time, but she can’t resist him. She never could. Even when every part of her screamed that he was a liar.

He has a plan to keep Aphrodite, for good this time. He wants to win the game, but he’ll hold back to get what he wants. He’s sitting on a chance that he’s been waiting thousands of years for, and he’ll do what he has to do to convince her to stay forever.

The only thing that could stop him is the secret that he’s been keeping from her for eons. If she finds out, it will destroy everything.

Aphrodite is getting crap for her choice in player, because from the outside, it looks like a match that would never work.

Kat and Dillon have been through a lot, and everything has been to protect their younger siblings. They sacrificed everything to make sure their brother and sister would be safe. The players are tough and loyal.

Fierce and determined. But they become each other’s weakness, even though they fight it, and even though it means danger for Kat and her sister.

If Aphrodite can get the players over their egos long enough to see that they’re meant for each other, this competition will be a piece of cake. One that she’ll eat a la mode, right in front of Ares, if she beats him.

Blurb:

Meeting Jett was like lightning. Dangerous. Better left untouched. And better forgotten. But lightning always strikes twice.

Brooke Stewart, a realtor in New York, doesn’t do relationships. When she’s sent to a remote estate to finalize a real estate deal, she discovers her new boss is no other than the guy she left naked in bed.

Sexy, dangerously handsome, and arrogant Jett Mayfield attracts trouble, and women, like a lightning rod. But the night he meets Brooke he gets more than he bargained for. The green-eyed millionaire playboy isn’t used to taking no for an answer, and he isn’t about to start now.

When he proposes two months of no strings sex, Brooke is intrigued and accepts his proposal. Little does she know Jett’s determined to claim the one woman he can’t have, pulling her deeper into his dangerous world.

A man who doesn't take 'no' for an answer.

A woman afraid to surrender to love.

Two lives that are about to cross...and secrets laid bare.

Intriguing Synopsis? Check! Delicious cover complete with juicy man booty? Check! Upon first glance you would think this book is going to be about non stop sex and foreplay. There is a little bit of that but what you actually get is an intense story about two people with different motives trying to maintain a relationship under strained circumstances. 

Brooke Stewart is a real estate agent just trying to make her dream of working for a big company come true one day. When she meets one of her firms biggest clients she is less than thrilled with his appearance and demeanor but still attracted to him enough to realize he is trouble. (See Video Below)

(OMG you guys I have a sick obsession with these damn goat videos!)

Waking up next to Jett Townsend should have been exciting and hot but she is so mortified at her behavior she pushes him away. It's not until she is given a new position at the biggest real estate firm and whisked away to Italy that she finds none other than Jett Townsend! He's her new boss and boy is she stunned! (He used a different name during their first meeting so she wouldn't know who he was at first.) The attraction between them is mutual and trying to fight it is pointless so he comes up with a solution to their dilemma. This was my first experience with a story involving a sex contract so I was a little put off by the idea until I got into the actual concept and what it detailed. 2 months of letting this hot hunk of Italian sausage poke the mouse hole sounds good right? I thought it would be too and don't get me wrong, the sex and shit was damn HOT but it took longer to get there. It's a very slow build up for these two characters and the whole time you are salivating like a Komodo Dragon waiting for them to STFU and do it! 

They spend two weeks in Italy working during the day and doing the "Squeaky Squeaky" at night and during this time they start to get closer than Brooke usually gets with guys. She is used to running especially after a tragic event that shattered her family and left her with emotional scars that run deep. Jett is the only man she has ever confided in about it and for the first time she manages to stay long enough to actually fall in love for the first time. When they arrive back to the states and they discuss being an actual couple Brooke is finally at a place where she can let her guard down.....until she is given reason not to!

Who the hell knew there would be a mystery/suspense element to this book? I surely didn't. I thought by the juicy backside that graces the cover that it would mainly be about a man whore trying to acquire the good girl. I was going back and forth on my rating between a 3 and a 4 as I got closer to the end because I didn't know what the purpose for the story was until the plot went from zero to sixty in the time it took to turn a page! There is a huge plot twist that caught me by surprise! I am usually the queen of figuring out a suspense plot like a blood hound but the author did such a good job of disguising the dramatics behind the anticipation of what was happening between Jett and Brooke. The ending is very intense and I was thinking "Surely the author wouldn't just leave it like this...right?" Thankfully upon turning the last page I found out that she plans to continue the story of Jett and Brooke!

Overall this was a pretty decent book with a great plot twist and well written characters. I loved Jett and have always had a soft spot, (and by soft spot I mean my Vagina!) for Italian men with black hair and green eyes! You can never go wrong with a guy described like that! Brooke was a bit of a bitch from time to time, but I can kind of understand where she was coming from. With what she was keeping inside I can see her stance on men in general. Usually I like the best friend in stories like this but for some reason Brooke's best friend Sylvie rubbed me the wrong way. The whole time I was reading this I was thinking that she was a shady character. My "Spidey Sense" was always tingling when she was around and for a short time I actually thought she was involved in this plot twist. She still might be because the story isn't over so you never know. While I didn't fall totally in love with this book I did like it and am definitely looking forward to what is in store for Brooke and Jett in the future.

"When I fuck you I want you to remember each and every kiss, every moan, every scream, every sensation about the way I feel inside of you." Loc. 1416

Review and Giveaway: Beauty From Pain by Georgia Cates

Series: Beauty Series #1

Genre: Adult Contemporary

Publication Date: January 29th 2013

Format: Kindle

Rating: 5 stars

Synopsis:

They agreed on three months...but their love knew no boundaries.

Jack McLachlan is a wine making magnate and easily one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth make him no stranger to the complications of romantic relationships and that’s why he goes to extreme measures to avoid the hassle. He prefers simplicity in the form of a beautiful female companion with no strings attached. He arranges relationships like business deals and they’re always the same. No long term relationships. No real names.

It’s his game and his rules. He’s content to play as usual, but when Laurelyn Prescott enters his life, his strategy must change because this player is like none he's ever encountered. His world is turned on its head after he begins a three month affair with the beautiful American musician. Nothing goes according to plan and as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her, she’s exceptionally close to becoming something he never thought possible. His ultimate game changer.

Not recommended for younger readers due to sexual content and language.

 

Laurelyn needs a break from life. She's lucky her BFF has a brother living in Australia. The girls decide to spend their summer with Addison's brother. Addison is quite the player and hooks up with her brother's Aussie friend. Laurelyn is getting over a bad relationship and tries to ignore the interest Addison's brother Ben has for her. It's not hard when she also catches the interest of Jack Henry. This guy has crafted his player skills over the last 4 years, He never gives his real name and has a time limit set for the relationship from the beginning. He promises Laurelyn the time of her life. And honestly if I was her I couldn't have refused the deal either.


Ben is not happy about Jack Henry making a play for Laurelyn. He turns into a major ass when he interrupts Jack Henry as he's about to stroke her "slut button" outside the apartment. When Ben later kisses Laurelyn against her will, she accepts Jack Henry's offer to move in with him for the remainder of her time in Australia. He starts to find it hard to be away from her. Even his family pushes him to spend his time with her instead of them.

Now, Jack has his reasons for keeping his identity a secret. One of his exe's is bat shit crazy. I have to wonder if we are going to hear more from her in book 2. But when Jack's father is taken to the hospital for a possible heart attack, he let's go of his need for secrecy and clings to Laurelyn. She gets to meet his family and they quickly fall in love with her. He even finds himself feeling very jealous on more than one account. Laurelyn puts her developing feelings into song. I'm really hoping the author will include the lyrics for her songs in the next book.

When Jack realizes he asked Laurelyn for a relationship based on lies, he feels he's as much a bastard as her ex is. This also makes him want to have more then just sex. Now he wants to make love to Laurelyn. This is one of several extremely hot and sweet moments. Now Laurelyn knows without a doubt what her feelings for Jack  are and he turns into a confused idiot. He's never been in love before and instead of saying I love you, he tells her how much he's going to miss her. He thinks he has more time to figure out what he's feeling but guess what? He doesn't! And then the book ends and I was like...

                                         Oh HELL No


Laurelyn heads back to America broken hearted. The author gives us a teaser for Beauty From Surrender and it's pretty intense. I cannot wait for book two. 

                          


"Let me get straight on this. You don't want to be the girl to wear out your welcome, but you'll be the girl who lets him wear out your vagina?"

"Listen to me, Laurelyn. The best way to get over somebody is to get under someone else."

"Even out of a suit, he's hotter than the devil's ass"

"You've swallowed your vocal cords because you're talking out of your ass."

"Baby, you've fucked my mind without touching my body."

Cover Reveal: On The Offensive by Cara Dee

Genre: Adult Romance

Cover Design: Mayhem Cover Creations

Synopsis:

For New Year’s, Peyton finds herself in Aspen for a vacation with her family 

instead of hanging out with her college friends back in Florida.  

  

While she’s missed her mom, step dad, and little brother, she can’t say that 

the same for Zack, her older step brother—a man she both hates and 

desires.  

                     About The Author:

Cara Dee is twenty-six years old, born and raised in Sweden. She started writing on a whim in 2011, and what was once pretty tame storytelling has since turned into erotica, where her biggest thrill comes from writing about the forbidden. She has few limits, and you’ll find out that there’s no fade-to-black or anything like “too much information” in her world. Before, she could barely have a character say “f**k”, and now one of her biggest turn-ons is Daddy kink. Age difference—the man being the oldest—is another one, as well as BDSM. Extensive research, music, general smut, and reading are always sure ways for her to get inspired. She’s proud to say she has gotten her husband hooked, too.  Although, he rather watches than reads! Hey, Rome wasn’t built in a day. 

Cara’s journey to publishing has been all about learning the ropes, getting better at the English language, and trying out different genres in which to write. If she could only pick one person to thank for all the help, it would be Lisa. Had it not been for her, Cara wouldn’t have dared to venture into publishing her writing.
