COVER REVEAL
~~~Indulge~~~ 
Angela Graham
Synopsis:
   

 Logan West’s life is anything but ideal. Mindless sex, tedious business ventures, and the occasional poker game keep him occupied, but he only lives for one thing: fatherhood.
    Oliver, Logan’s three-year-old son, is his entire world. Raising him alone, Logan finds his only joy in spending time giving Oliver the childhood he deserves. But every other weekend, he allows himself the chance to live as a man—a man with deeper desires. Logan knows what he likes, what he wants, and what he needs. He has no interest in dating and believes there’s no risk worth taking for romance, but his casual sexual escapes rarely leave him satisfied.
     It takes an unexpected decision from his sister Julia and a road trip to the small town of Harmony with his best friend, Caleb, to open Logan’s eyes to new opportunities outside his programmed world. It's not what he expects, but Logan’s always looking to indulge.

Something More ~ Jenna Tyler






Cover designed by Robin Harper @ Wicked by Design 


Rebecca Michaels has finally grown tired of her monotonous life and is ready to make a drastic change.  Now that her daughter, Charlie, is away at college, there has never been a more perfect time to make it happen. 

Packing up and leaving behind all she's ever known, she eagerly ventures out in search of what the world, outside of this dull town, has in store for her. 

When she first encounters Andrew Chambers, a mysteriously sexy and seemingly wealthy stranger, she doesn't think she will ever stand a chance with someone like him.  Little does she know just how wrong she is or how fierce an attraction the two of them would immediately share.  Although, lavish attention and on-demand orgasms are not something she's going to complain about, the speed and intensity with which Andrew pursues her is almost more than she can handle. 

Rebecca Michaels wanted an adventure, but the one that awaits her isn't necessarily what she had in mind.

~New Release~
O'Mara and the Bone Tree
by
A.C. Haury



Synopsis:

Everybody in Elkhart has a secret and if they say they don't, they're lying. Three years have passed since Tristan Morrow returned home after her harrowing kidnapping ordeal with her former English teacher, Bernard Kendricks. A sense of peace has taken over the Morrow Manor, but it will not last forever. A killer of women is on the loose in Elkhart and has already claimed the lives of two young women. An investigation ensues and the murder scenes send Sergeant DiNolfo's mind spiraling back to a similar murder that happened exactly twenty years prior: The murder of Tiffany O'Mara.

Angie O'Mara is a 38-year old law assistant who has certainly seen better days. At the age of 18, she fled Elkhart after the murder of her sister and she never looked back, escaping a past that haunted her every waking moment. She settled in Seattle and married her boyfriend Jeremy, but she wouldn't get her happily-ever-after. On June 15, 2000, not only is her marriage over, but she finds herself homeless and unemployed. With her life in shambles, she finds herself back in the one place she spent her life running from, starting into the eyes of the one person who poisoned her dreams.

Will DiNolfo and her officers catch the killer before a third victim is claimed? When their three main suspects turn out to be innocent, the Elkhart Police Department is at a loss until a citizen comes forward with some crucial information: Tristan Morrow knows who is responsible for the murders. But does the information come too late? And how does this relate to the murder case of Tiffany O'Mara? Tristan soon learns that not even the dead can keep their secrets buried forever.

Only one thing is certain, though. The past has a way of catching up with you, and all secrets must come to light.

~FWY EXCERPT ~


Hudson traced my cheek with his finger. “You know all you have to do is ask and it’s yours.”A sudden wave of anxiety rolled through my belly. I turned to face the back of Jordan’s head. “Actually, I don’t know that, and honestly, that sort of makes me uncomfortable.”Hudson put his hand on my neck. “Why?”There were lots of reasons. But I settled on the most obvious. “I don’t want to be the floozy manager who only gets things because she’s fucking the owner.”
My eyes were still on Jordan. He was so good at his job—he didn’t even flinch at my crass language.
Hudson, it seemed, preferred that the conversation remain between us. He leaned in to whisper in my ear. “First of all, I love that you’re fucking the owner. Please don’t stop. Second, that’s not why you get things. You get things because you’re qualified. If you’d shown up to the interviews after the symposium, you would have had people fighting for you. But third, and most importantly, you get things from me because you’re my other half. Everything that is mine is yours. My connections, my money, my influence—it’s all half yours.”
I shivered. While I adored the sentiment—craved it, in fact—it also made my panic buttons go off. Those were the kinds of words that could make me think things I shouldn’t think. That I was more important than I was. That we were closer than we were. They were trigger words for me, and though I’d been healthy with Hudson, it had only come from diligence on my part.
But how I wanted to wrap myself in his declaration…
I swallowed. “I don’t know how to respond to that.”
Hudson nuzzled his nose against my earlobe. “You aren’t ready for that, I know. But I needed to tell you. As for your response, how about you say you’ll run our club?”
“I’ll run your club.”
“Ah—”
I knew my mistake immediately. Funny, how strongly I wanted to correct myself. I turned to meet his eyes. “I’ll run our club.”
“Now kiss me because you’ve made me a very happy man.”
He didn’t have to ask me twice. He didn’t even really have to ask me once, because his lips were covering mine as I opened my mouth to agree. His tongue slid in immediately, and he kissed me thoroughly until the car came to a stop in front of The Bowery.
Reluctantly, I released myself from his embrace. “Thank you, Hudson.” For the chance to run the club, for helping me be successful at it, for loving me in the best way you know how, for finding me in the first place.


He swept my hair away from my shoulder. “No. Thank you.”

~Angie's Review~

5+++ Emotional, Sexy, Heartbreaking Stars!

“You’re the center of my world, precious. Every minute of every day. Even when I’m not with you.” He brushed his lips against mine. “You make it so easy to fall so hard.” ~Hudson Pierce

I have read, adored, obsessed over, and pimped this series since the beginning.  Alayna and Hudson have become one of my all-time favourite book couples. I fell head over heels with these two flawed and broken characters back in Fixed on You. My love has grown and I am so incredibly sad that this is the end of their story. Forever with You is the best in this series by far. This is without a doubt Laurelin Paige’s best work to date, no question. Forever with You, is my first favourite for 2014 and my last favourite of 2013 however you care to look at it. For me it will sit in both categories.

Alayna and Hudson are living together at The Bowery as a couple and working on a healthy, honest relationship.  Celia is still breathing, sadly, and determined to wreak havoc and destroy their relationship. That wench is seriously determined and evil. Sophia is still a wicked witch, who spends 24/7 at the bottom of a bottle.  However Alayna is finally fighting back. This line made me full on belly laugh. I laughed, because I have been planning Celia’s death myself, since Fixed on You. I have imagined a fiery car crash millions of times taking out this B*tch!

“It was a good thing I’m a pacifist, because otherwise I’d have to start planning her murder.” ~ Alayna

We still have no idea what is on this video that Stacy is determined to share with Alayna. However even with all of this taking place, trust, honesty, and faith in each other’s love and devotion are the true obstacles, in my opinion. I became incredibly frustrated with both Alayna and Hudson in this book. Alayna preaching and pleading with Hudson for complete transparency and honesty. Yet once again she is still hiding things, and putting herself at risk.

"We both have to change Hudson. We have to put everything out on the line, Hudson, as much as possible. We know now that we’re together, thick and thin, right? We have to trust that more than anything. We can’t be afraid of our secrets and our pasts. Both of us. Honesty, open doors, transparency.” ~Alayna~

Then we have Hudson. Not being able to communicate with Alayna, how he truly feels about her, and still hiding his past. The frustration I felt while reading Forever with You, was a huge part of the experience for me. I had so many reactions and emotions while reading this one, I had emotional whiplash. In the end a crippling hangover. I cursed, cried, laughed, swooned, sighed, cried, cursed, threw things, swooned, sighed, purred, and then cried some more. You know how that is right?  Please tell me as readers, you have been there?

 This is a new beginning for us, isn’t it?” He leaned forward to brush my nose with his. “No. This is better than a beginning. This is what happens next.” ~Alayna and Hudson~

As the story progressed and all secrets and lies are revealed, I broke. I broke with Hudson and Alayna, and I cried. Oh I full on ugly cried.  I didn’t think I could finish. I had help and support to talk me off the ledge. I have become so invested and attached to these characters, I may require therapy. Laurlein has sucked me into these stories so completely, I tell myself, “They’re characters, they’re not real, it’ll all be okay. It’ll be okay.”

“It would be so easy – so easy to lean up and let him kiss away my pain and insecurity. His lips on mine could erase all darkness, could soothe any pain. Until that afternoon, I’d believed that like some people believed in their religion – Hudson could fix me, every time.” ~Alayna~

The writing is beautiful and poetic. It’s clear and concise, never redundant. The flow is flawless. The sexy time scenes are incredible, erotic, and tingle inducing. Romantic and written with an emotional hand.  WARNING - You will once again need a fan! I never once wanted it to end; I wanted it to go on forever, minus the frustration of course.  It is a fabulous and heartbreaking conclusion to Alayna and Hudson’s story. This series is and always will be on my all-time favourites list, and Laurelin Paige will remain one of my all-time favourite authors. If you have not read this series, do yourself a huge favor and do it. The Fixed Series is a must read for all readers who adore emotional, sexy, beautiful love stories. On that note, I will leave you with my favorite passage from Forever with You.

“Afterward, I stood with a towel wrapped around myself and stared into the steam-clouded mirror. This is was what it was like to see Hudson now, through this fog, knowing that something more lay underneath. If only it were as simple as stretching my hand out and wiping away the condensation to see the man beneath. If only he’d let me in, maybe it would be that easy. Maybe then my touch could finally bring him into focus.” – Alayna, Laurelin Paige, Forever with You



~Jenna's Review~
5+++ MUST READ Stars


Where to start, where to start?  If you've ever seen a review from me (there's not many out there), it's probably been on one of Laurelin Paige's books.  (It's no secret that I love her and her writing.)  I hate writing reviews and when I do, it's usually short, sweet, and to the point.  With that being said, I give you my review of Forever With You...

I met Alayna and Hudson in the first book of this series, Fixed on You, and continued their story in book two, Found in You.  (Which, I must say, I frickin' loved!)  Forever With You takes us even further into the lives of Laynie and Hudson, albeit a little *circles finger around ear*, but it's a sexy as hell story with just the right amount of angst.  I cried through the first part, yelled off and on throughout, did the touchdown pose....and had anxiety during the whole damned thing. I loved and hated Hudson, loved and hated Laynie, DESPISED Celia and Sophia, and LOVED Jack and Liesl.

I don't want to share parts of the story because I want you to experience it all for yourself.  I'll just share my feelings....LOVED IT!  And what I think you should do....BUY IT!!  And what else I think about it...AWESOME!  And what else I think you should do...READ IT!!!

After a series of catastrophic misunderstandings and impulsively poor decision-making, Scarlett MacGregor finds herself once again torn between two loves, as different as they may be. Lacking proper closure with their relationship, accompanied by the overwhelming guilt for her role in his devastating downfall, Scarlett resolves to help Mason recover and reclaim his life as a budding rock star. However, now that he has finally claimed her as his, Ash Walker is bound and determined to keep her by his side, and he will go to any lengths necessary to do just that.

Mason Templeton has hit rock bottom. He’s in love with a girl whose heart and soul belong to another and he’s partied his way off of an international music tour that was supposed to be his big break. Returning home for rehab sounds like the worst possible way to start a new year, but when an unexpected friendship emerges, he begins to realize that maybe everything does happen for a reason.

Euphoria is the third and final installment of Scarlett, Ash, and Mason’s self-discovering journeys to happiness and understanding the meaning of true love ~ the kind that begs for complete surrender

Recommended for readers 17+ due to sexual content and harsh language.

~Euphoria EXCERPT~

I attempted to slip my panties on while the towel was still covering me, but I clumsily fell over my own feet, and the towel ended up on the floor as did I, flat on my butt. I looked up at Ash on the bed, who was trying desperately not to laugh, and then down at myself, sprawled out naked on the floor except my panties that were half on.
“Are you sure you want to take this hot mess somewhere across the country with you?” I asked him, half joking.
“As John Legend says babe, I ‘love your curves and all your edges, all your perfect imperfections,’” he answered sincerely. If I hadn’t already been on the floor, I think I may have melted into a puddle on it.
“Awww that’s one of the sweetest things you’ve ever said to me. You totally just gave me butterflies,” I told him honestly as I stood up and finished pulling my panties up. I walked over to the bed and leaned down to give him a quick kiss. He groaned loudly as I pulled my away from his. “What?” I asked.
“You,” he growled as he grabbed a hold of my hips and pulled me up on the bed and into his lap. “You’re the hottest little thing I’ve ever laid my eyes on, and you’re prancing around here without clothes on, knowing damn well what you’re doing to me.” He brought his mouth back to mine, this time giving me a much more sensual kiss.
“I’m not prancing,” I mumbled against his mouth. “I’m more like flopping around.” 
“Well your flopping is extremely sexy, in case you didn’t know,” he said as he began peppering kisses up and down my neck.
“Don’t think I’m not aware of what you’re trying to do, Mr. Walker,” I attempted to say with a stern voice, but it came out more in a breathy whisper. He was turning me into putty in his hands and completely erasing the reason I was upset to begin with. “We are supposed to be talking about something important… I think.”
            “Yes, this is very important,” he murmured against my sensitive skin as his head moved lower on my chest and drew a nipple into his mouth. That was all it took for me, I was a goner and all was forgiven. It was decided ~ we were moving to California.  ~ Scarlet

~Angie's Review~


Beyond 5 Stars


"Many psychologists refer to Euphoria as a state of intense happiness and self-confidence, a blissful self-clarity if you will, and most people throughout their lives search and strive for this feeling. Why many never achieve it is because they never learn how to love themselves. When you discover the true beauty of self-love, then and only then, will you experience pure euphoria.   


First let me say that for the Book Boyfriends series to come to an end is bittersweet for me, since I have adored this series from page one, way back in Metamorphosis. This series has a bit of everything. Hilarity, amazing friendships, romance, sexy scenes, angst,  loss and grief, heartbreak, and an epic love triangle. I need to stress that this love triangle is unique. I was torn, the entire series as to who I wanted Scarlett to end up with. Erin Noelle has created two brilliantly sexy, swoon worthy male main characters. Ash is smart, sexy, artistic, and devoted. Mason is a sexy musician, who has a bit of a dark side. He's determined to hold onto Scarlett, no matter the cost, even himself . To make it even more complicated, Mason also struggles with past mistakes and regret. Scarlett, well she has her own issues, we know this.

"The hardest thing for me to accept was that I really wasn't a curse to the ones I loved and wasn't being punished for anything"

Euphoria picks up exactly where we left off at the end of Ambrosia. Mason is not in a good place,  this may be an understatement. Scarlett had made her decision between the two important men in her life, finally. She's determined to move forward with her life.  Although happy and content she is struggling to become independent and self sufficient in her  new relationship. She is trying to find herself, and I think finally maturing. Scarlett had so many redeeming moments in Euphoria. Unlike before, with  the confusion, betrayal, indecision, and avoidance, she is finally moving towards a better place. That being said, she is now struggling with yet another important decision. When you have closed a door and turned the corner to move on, can you go back? How does she deal with the guilt she feels? Will Ash and Mason understand her feelings and true motivations? Scarlett's decisions do have consequences. Everyone's decisions have consequences.

" Things will never be the same between us Mase. We can never go back to where we were, but I'm not gonna turn my back on you when you need someone to love and support you. I'm sorry for what I did to you...to us." She paused and looked down at the ground for a moment, shame washing over her face. Raising her chestnut eyes back to mine, she continued, "I won't fail you. I promise I won't let you fall again"  

Euphoria is not a happy, flowery, light conclusion to the series, to be completely honest I'm glad. This series have been such a roller coaster , that it seems fitting for this last book to be as gut wrenching as the previous books., even more so actually. Erin Noelle is never afraid to play out a story in full blown technicolor honesty. She can shred your heart, make you swoon and tingle, make you throw things across the room , curse, leave you slack jawed , dumb founded, gaping like a guppy. But in the end of this magnificent series, everything comes full circle. Much like life these books are messy, beautiful and perfect in imperfections.  

There is a HUGE twist near the very end, I never saw coming. It hit me square in the gut, and left me reeling. I was devastated. I cried my eyes out. However, I must say, it worked. Oh My God, it worked beautifully.  It was devastating. 

The writing in Euphoria is beautiful, poignant and poetic.  You will need tissues. I fell head over heels in love with these characters , their struggles, their pain. These books were a journey for me, I 'm devastated it's over. Euphoria is by far the best book in this series. I adored them all, but this last book, shattered me. 

"Many people are dealt really shitty hands in life, but there comes a time that you have to forget the past and take control of your future. Remember, in the end, it's not where you start, it's about where you finish."

"Come to me my sweeteest friend, this is where we start again..." When the song was over, he turned me around in his arms and pressed his forehead to mine. "Scarlett Alexandria Templeton, I have finally found my euphoria" 

Read this series, it is a must read. That is all
