Excerpt:

He’d helped her out of the car like a gentleman, taking her hand as she stepped onto the sidewalk. His arm swooped around her waist as she stumbled in her shoes, embarrassed yet thankful he caught her. Her legs still quivered from the intensity of her orgasm, her skin fairly vibrating. The satisfied smile he gave her just before he leaned in for a brief kiss had left her even dizzier than before.

“You’re glowing,” he murmured only for her to hear, his arm tightening around her waist as he led her into the building, tipping his head at the doorman as they headed straight toward the elevator.

The moment the doors slid closed, he had her pinned against the wall, his mouth on hers, his hands cupping her face as the elevator made its quick ascent. “I love that I’ve made you look like this,” he whispered against her lips before devouring her again.

“H-how do I look?” she asked after he finally broke away from her lips, his mouth dotting fevered little kisses along her jaw, down the side of her neck.

“Beautiful,” he whispered reverently, his gaze meeting hers. “Radiant. Satisfied.”

Her cheeks warmed and she ducked her head, thankful when the elevator finally stopped and the doors opened. Rafe took her hand and walked her down the short hall that led to his apartment. He seemed agitated, downright anxious as he unlocked the door and then he was pulling her inside, slamming the door behind them, pushing her against the wall as if he were unable to keep his hands off of her.

She loved it. Wished fervently that she’d known Rafe had this side to him long ago. It was rather…arousing.

“I’ll stop if you want me to,” he said, his expression sincere, his eyes serious as they roved over her face. “Just say the word and you can go to your room tonight alone and everything will be fine tomorrow. I won’t hold your refusal of me against you. You’re in complete control of this situation, Cat. I hope you realize this.”

“Or?” she prompted, because she knew there was more. There had to be. The mysterious depths behind his words intrigued her. She didn’t want to stop this.

She wanted more. More, more, more.

“Or…” His voice trailed off, his gaze sweeping over her body, lingering on her chest, then moving upward to her mouth. “You can come with me. And spend the night in my bed.”

She nibbled on her lower lip, her body aching from the dark promise in his voice. There wasn’t a doubt that she wanted to be with him tonight, in his bed. But a small part of her was scared.

ABOUT KIDNAPPING HIS BRIDE:

Catch her if you can…

The Renaldis, Book 2

Rafael Renaldi is a modern man with an old-fashioned secret—an arranged marriage. Though it was an informal agreement, made when they were children, Rafe has always been a little in love with the beautiful, passionate Catalina Campioni. And assumed that the single, searing kiss they shared years ago sealed the deal.

Marriage? Babies? Not now—not yet. After growing up witnessing her mother’s devastation over her father’s cheating, Cat has no intention of settling down anytime soon. She plans to live life to the fullest before marching down the aisle—and it definitely won’t be with womanizing, lethally charming Rafe.

When Rafe realizes his bride-to-be wants nothing to do with him, he does what a crazed man might do—he kidnaps her. But not to force her to the altar. She wants adventure? He’ll show her adventure, and show her life with him will never be dull.

But even as they fall in love, someone close is desperate to keep them apart and will do whatever it takes to ensure they won’t marry. Anyone. Ever…

Beautiful Oblivion Release Day and Excerpt

Genre: Contemporary Romance

Published Date: October 22, 2013

Author: Addison Moore

Beautiful Oblivion Synopsis:

From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Addison Moore:

Some people just don’t belong together, or at least that’s the world would have them believe.

It was supposed to be just for the summer…

Reese Westfield comes from a world of old money, country clubs, cotillions, and expensive cars. She’s tired of dating Warren McCarthy just to make her father happy. Reese has long since had her eye on someone else, and this summer she’s determined to make it happen.

Growing up in Lake Loveless there has always been a strict monetary divide—there was the rest of the Lake and then there were the Waterman’s. Ace Waterman has worked for everything he has, and he doesn’t have a lot. He breaks his back doing grunt work while putting himself through college. He’s used to life passing him by.

Reese has loved Ace from afar for as long as she can remember. The summer of her freshman year she comes home with plans to land Ace in her bed at least for a few short weeks, and, if she’s lucky, forever.

Ace has loved Reese for as long as he can remember, but their friendship has never graduated beyond platonic, so when Reese comes home from her first year away and proposes the two of them have a summer fling, Ace is quick to comply. The rules: no strings, no expectations, just something hotter than the sun to set the sheets on fire.

But when their worlds collide, and neither of them is willing to admit to having true feelings, it becomes clear to Ace he’s nothing more than a dirty little secret—that the summer fling was just something meaningless to pass the time.

Reese wonders if she can ever stop trying to please her father, and it’s only through her mother’s letters that she finds the answers she truly seeks, but will they be the ones she wants to hear?

As summer draws to a close, Ace and Reese are still very much enraptured even though the time has come to douse the flame and move on—but neither one of them is prepared to leave this BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION.

EXCERPT

Ace's POV

Her mouth curves with a slow smile. She seals her hips to mine once again and my gut flinches because it’s torture having her so close and not being able to touch her the way I want, the ways I’ve meditated over for so many years.

“I want you to be my first, Ace.” The smile melts off her face as her lips come in close again. “I want to know the things you know, do the things you do—with you.”

“Reese,” I let it out in a heated whisper. “You need to do those things with someone who means something to you—someone special. Don’t waste your time with a guy like me.” I came within an inch of calling myself a loser which I don’t believe for a second, but, in a way, I think my dad has been right all along, Reese doesn’t belong with someone like me.

Review: Twisted Perfection by Abbi Glines

Book Synopsis

Life outside of her house was a new experience for Della Sloane. The dark secrets of her past weren’t something she ever intended to share with anyone. They would never understand. No one would ever get close enough to find out. There was always a chance she’d go crazy sooner than they expected…

Woods Kerrington had never been one to be attracted to fragile females. They seemed like too much work. He wasn’t in it for the work just the pleasure. A night full of naughty fun had been exactly what was on his mind when he’d laid eyes on the hot little number that didn’t know how to pump gas and needed some help.

What he didn’t know was she was as fragile as they came.
The carefree girl who spoke her mind and didn’t care what the world thought of her was more breakable than he could ever imagine

I was so excited to get Woods story. I had no idea what Della's story was going to bring to this series. When you begin reading you're in Della's mind three years ago as she finds her mother dead in their home. Her best friend Braden is there and helps Della as her mother's body is taken away. There are small pieces to Della's past in this brief chapter.

Jump ahead now four months from present day and Della is starting a journey to find her life. Braden has left for her honeymoon and given Della a car so that she could travel and live a little. Della spent her whole life trapped in her own home by her mother. Throughout the story you get glimpses into what Della's life was like with her mom. She meets Woods for the first time at a gas station when she realizes she has no clue how to put gas in a car. They get upclose and personal pretty quick. With Woods looking for a break from his reality and Della looking to live life to the fullest they go for a one-night stand. I was needing to clean up after the quicky in the truck. And then I had to read it again. All of this happens before you even get 8% through the book.

Present day, Della is in Dallas.  She has to stop long enough to get a job to earn some money for her travels. After getting majorly screwed over (pun intended) by her boss, it's time for Della to hit the road again. Luckly the bar tender she works with has the perfect solution for her. He just happens to have a condo she can stay in that's on the beach in a small coastal town, and his cousin can even get her job. Della had no idea Tripp was sending her right back to the town where she met Woods. As for the job, it just so happens that she's slept with her new boss too.

Della struggles with nightmares every night about the abuse she suffered at the hands of her mother. Woods struggles with being forced to marry a girl, Angelina, who he doesn't love or even like. Woods' is forced to abide by his father's wishes if he ever wants to advance in the family business. They decide to try friendship. Bethy and Jace are just as cute in this book. We get a hint at things that happened with Grant since Never Too Far. No one knows about Della's past until a night out with the group. Woods had no idea his questions would trigger Della to freeze up with a flashback to her childhood. Despite this little revelation, Woods doesn't run. He wants to take care of her and protect her.

Woods isn't the only one wanting to be there for Della though. Tripp decides to come home. Now Della is forced to tell someone else about her past. She doesn't give Tripp the details but prepares him for her nightly screaming fits. Tripp convinces her stay a while longer and then maybe travel together when she decides to leave.  After witnessing one of her night terrors, Tripp is determined that Della shouldn't be alone.Yes, Tripp is making a play for Della too. This is just the push Woods needed to make him claim Della as his. I love getting to see the deeper side of Woods. He has such a good heart. His grandparents were amazing and are the reason Woods didn't turn out like his father. I love his honesty and even more I love his naughty talk when he's making the moves on Della. Good lawd it gets hot.

Tripp really wins my heart when he has a talk with Woods about what happens at night with Della. In her best interest, Tripp has Woods come over after she goes to bed so that he can be there for her when she screams in her sleep. Finally you get the whole story about her childhood and why her mother went crazy. It's such a sad story. Again I just had no idea what Della's story was going to be and you can't help but love her.

Not only does Della have a confrontation with Angelina but Woods father thinks he can buy her off. The shit that man pulls is epically eff'ed up. Braden and her husband take care of Della. When Woods finds out about what his father did he flips his shit and tells his father they are done. When Woods gets to Della she explains all of her fears to him about her mental health and how she found her Mom. Then it's all passion and I Love You. Turn the page and the author throat punches you. I was so happy about the bitch named Karma that makes an appearance in the last paragraph of this story. It really is Twisted Perfection.

I can't wait for the continuation of this story. I'm just as anxious to get Tripps book. Grant needs a book too and don't forget Bethy and Jace. Abbi Glines is going to be busy for a while =)

Review: Resisting Her by Kendall Ryan

Book Synopsis:

From the New York Times and USA Today Bestselling Author Kendall Ryan comes the sexy and seductive Resisting Her.

Agent Cole Fletcher lives for his job at the FBI, and he’s more than ready for his next assignment—raiding a cult compound and putting their leader behind bars. But he isn’t prepared for Savannah and her knock you on your ass good looks. At nineteen, she’s too old for foster care and too damaged to live on her own. With nowhere else to go, and against his better judgment Cole takes her in.

But helping her out won’t be easy. He comforts her through screaming nightmares and escaping the lingering fears of her past, but that’s the easy part. Her preference to sleep cuddled up next to his warm body, and her desire to please him in every way makes her harder and harder to resist.

So, I love a little visual inspiration as I read a good book with some heat. Here is the perfect guy for you to think of as Cole.

Cole Fletcher of the FBI wasn't looking for love. He had a history of being terrible at relationships and more than one skeleton in his closet. But he can't deny he is immediately drawn to Savannah when he rescues her from a cult camp. Thinking he will be able to clear her from his mind if he just checks to be sure she is safe, he finds her crying and lost not far from the safe house she had been taken to.

Cole breaks all the rules and takes Savannah home with him. He's determined to help her but also to resist his urges to have her. I have no doubts that you will fall in love with Cole too. He just wants to help Savannah and take care of her. When she has nightmares her first night at Cole's house he can't refuse her need to be held. As the weeks pass and they spend everynight in the same bed, Cole finds it hard (pun intended) to resist his need have Savannah.

Trying to keep things in perspective Cole agrees to go on a blind date arranged by his sister. Savannah doesn't question him but she has to wonder why Cole ever brought her home and what his intentions with her may be. Having always been sheltered and told that men only want one thing from a woman, she can only assume Cole has no interest in her because he never makes any advances on her. She finds herself really wishing he would. If she only knew what Cole was having to do to keep from exploding while thinking about her (no worries, the tells us exactly what he does to get some relief).

Cole is still determined to help Savannah create a normal life for herself. But wasn't expecting his medling sister to get involved. This leads to a date for Savannah with the neighbor and the blind date that Cole agreed to. I hated this part!! With all of Cole's manly needs he brings home miss slutty blind date and Savannah ends up with quite the show. Talk about an education, high def and live action. Now you may want to sit on a towel for what's to follow. In his need to comfort Savannah after the visual she just got, he gives her her first Australian kiss. Merciful heaven that was hot. I love that Savannah makes it clear after this that's she no longer the broken girl that he found but that she has needs and wants more.

Unfortunately things don't get any easier between them. Both have pasts that haunt them and Cole still tries to resist his feelings for Savannah. He has a major case of denial. Again he puts her needs first helping her get a drivers licsense, a car, and a job. But denial can only work for so long and then OH MY GOD the glorious release.

*giggles*, that's not really my sofa but you get my drift right. I feel like thanking the author for not rushing through that loss of virginity scene.

It may seem like I've told you alot of the story but there's still so much to tell. Skeletons need to stay in the damn closet when you put them there. Doesn't happen that way. They both have to face their pasts before their future can really start. I was worried the whole time about what Cole was hiding from Savannah but it wasn't as bad as I was thinking. You'll be thanking the author again the all the make-up sex and a wonderful epilogue that takes you to three years in the future. I loved Resisting Her and very much recommend all of Kendall Ryan's books.
