Stare Her Down by Riley Murphy: Release Day Blitz


Synopsis



As an expert rigger, Gunn is the logical Dom to represent the club in the all-important bondage competition that will help out his friend. He thought he had the sub for the job, until she quit on him. Now he has to find an ideal replacement immediately. Bailey wants the perfect bikini bod to capture the affections of her monumental crush. After a few margaritas, which prompted some sketchy decisions, she thinks Gunn can help her shape up. Didn’t a Dom equal Drill Sergeant? Through her humor and Gunn’s stoicism, they find a precarious balance until the scales get tipped, but not in her favor. By the time she realizes her mistake, that a Dom is anything but a personal trainer, it’s too late because she’s literally tied up in a mess of her own making. Securely caught in the rigger’s tangle, will she be able to break free and claim what she always wanted, or will her sexy and strict Dom stare her down until she accepts the truth? He’s all she ever needed…

A Halloween Question For M. Stratton


If you could be a character in ANY scary movie, book or show-who would it be and why? 

Hmmmm... I've always said I'd love to be a vampire or real witch. Some badass no one wants to mess with you super hot chick that kicks butt and forgets their names.



8 Things You Didn't Know About M. Stratton

1. She loves the movie Twister… she can say all the lines along with the actors. She will also use those lines in real life as often as possible. 

2. Halloween is her favorite holiday. She starts planning months in advance. She has more Halloween decorations than Christmas. 

3. She once made up a monologue about her love of chocolate chip cookie dough for her high school drama class.

4. There are times she thinks she is so funny she has tears running down her face while laughing at herself.

5. M. can play the clarinet but is in awe of anyone who can play the guitar, piano or drums, pretty much anything where your hands have to do two different things at the same time. 

6. Cary Grant is her favorite actor. When she was in high school after Cary Grant died one of the cable stations ran a marathon, she watched his movies from 6 in the morning all day and night until 4 AM the next day.

7. Reading has always been an escape for her. She can devour a book in hours. When she moved in with her husband she literally donated over 1,000 books and saved over 1,000 for herself. She can reread books over and over again if she loves them. There are some that she has reread about once a year for the past 20 years.

8. She eloped after knowing her husband for only two months in 2006. They are still married over seven years later.

Insidious by Aleatha Romig: Blog Tour and Review





Dark desires…Deadly secrets…Devious deceptions…Nothing is exactly as it seems in INSIDIOUS, the new erotic thriller from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Aleatha Romig. 

When a powerful man is willing to risk everything for his own satisfaction, only one woman can beat him at his own game: his wife. Or so she thinks…

“Let’s start with you calling me Stewart. Formalities seem unnecessary.”

Stewart Harrington is rich, gorgeous, and one of the most powerful men in Miami. He always gets what he wants. Anything is available to him for the right price.

Even me.

Being the wife of a mogul comes with all the perks, but being Mrs. Stewart Harrington comes with a few special requirements. I’ve learned to keep a part of myself locked away as my husband watches me submit to his needs. But the more he demands of me, the more beguiled he becomes and that’s to my advantage. So I keep fulfilling his fantasies and following his rules because he doesn’t know that what he’s playing is really my game. And winning is everything, right?

Insidious is a stand-alone novel and the first Tales from the Dark Side title. Due to the dark and explicit nature of this book, it is recommended for mature audiences only.

     I've been reading Aleatha since Consequences came out...back when I thought her name was pronounced All-e-the-a and not A-lea-tha....if that makes any sense! When I heard that there was a new book available for review only on thing went through my mind...


   If you are a fan of the Consequences series you will LOVE Insidious! It comes with the expected twists and turns that Aleatha is so very good at. She is the queen of hitting you with what you don't expect. I mean did any of you expect to be Team Tony?!?! *While I am not Team Tony, I am not longer Team Throw Tony on a Pile of Fire Ants Until he Dies or They Eat His Penis anymore* 
    When we meet Victoria and Stewart we are immediately drawn into their story and aren't let go until the final word. This is not the exchange we are use to...they have struck a bargain. There are so many things I want to say about this book, but I don't want to give anything away! This is a book you must experience for yourself! The characters are strong, and Victoria struggles though some very difficult choices which just make me like her more. As with he who shall not be named (though I put his name in the previous paragraph lol) I am torn on my feelings for her husband. Do I love him? Do I hate him? Should someone cut his penis off and throw it in a field? I'm not sure! Maybe I need more processing time. The secondary characters are full and interesting. 
   This book is worth every penny...and quite a few more! Get it now!

Reaper's Stand by Joanna Wylde: Blog Tour Review and Giveaway



Reapers stand - blog tour.png






Book Four in the Reaper’s MC Series

As Reapers Motorcycle Club president, Reese “Picnic” Hayes has given his entire life to the club. After losing his wife, he knew he’d never love another woman. And with two daughters to raise and a club to manage, that was just fine with him. These days, Reese keeps his relationships free and easy—he definitely doesn’t want to waste his time on a glorified cleaning lady like London Armstrong.


Too bad he’s completely obsessed with her.


Besides running her own business, London’s got her junkie cousin’s daughter to look after—a more reckless than average eighteen-year-old. Sure she’s attracted to the Reapers’ president, but she’s not stupid. Reese Hayes is a criminal and a thug. But when her young cousin gets caught up with a ruthless drug cartel, Reese might be the only man who can help her. Now London has to make the hardest decision of her life—how far will she go to save her family?


reaper's stand teasers.jpg


OMG OMG OMG OMG!!!! Seriously, can this series get better!?!? I know, I know...y'all are probably tired of hearing me go on and on about how much I love MC series, but for real Joanna is one of my all time favorites! I've have been reading this series since Reaper's Property came out and each book just manages to be better than the last. We've seen Picnic in the previous books, but holy hot biker I was stunned by how much I loved him.

Picnic has a lot on his plate. His two grown daughters and all the bikers under his command. Let's not even get into the drug cartel creeping up to his back door. London is the sassy hot woman who he can't keep his eyes off of. She has a lot of drama herself. Running her own business is exhausting, but it's nothing compared to raising her rebellious cousin. 

When these two get together sparks FLY! And there is plenty of hot, steamy sex to go around! What would you do if the life of someone you loved was on the line? How far would you be willing to go? 

I don't usually star books, but if I were doing it this would easily get 5!!! Cannot wait to see what will happen with the Reapers next! <3 

“Okay, let’s get some shit straight and then you can head out.” Great, here it came. The Talk. Fortunately I was ahead of him for once.


“Don’t worry, Reese. I know this was just a one-off for you, and that you don’t want a relationship. That’s what I needed, too, so in a way it’s perfect. No harm, no foul. We can just pretend this never happened.”
A scowl covered his face. “What the fuck are you talking about?”
“Us. Or rather, the fact that there isn’t an ‘us.’ I get it—you like to sleep around. I had a good time, but I’m not expecting a ring or anything.”
His eyes widened, and I smirked.
“Although I’ll be around if you want another booty call,” I added slyly.
Yay me! I’m a sophisticated woman who knows the difference between love and sex.
Reese’s scowl grew deeper, and then suddenly he moved and I was under him, pinned down against the bed. He pulled my hands up, holding them prisoner above my head.
“Are you fucked in the head?” he demanded harshly. “You get laid for the first time in years, it’s phenomenal—”
“Well, aren’t you the modest one?”
“It’s phenomenal,” he repeated, emphasizing the word heavily. “And now you’re just going to ignore me? I am not fuckin’ down with that.”
