The Air He Breathes by Brittainy C. Cherry ~ AMAZON

I was warned about Tristan Cole. 
“Stay away from him,” people said. 
“He’s cruel.” 
“He’s cold.” 
“He’s damaged.” 
It’s easy to judge a man because of his past. To look at Tristan and see a monster. 
But I couldn’t do that. I had to accept the wreckage that lived inside of him because it also lived inside of me. 
We were both empty. 
We were both looking for something else. Something more. 
We both wanted to put together the shattered pieces of our yesterdays. 
Then perhaps we could finally remember how to breathe.

Alasdair by Ella Frank ~ AMAZON
A DANGEROUS ALLURE 
Bestowed with eternal life by the Ancient Vasilios, Alasdair Kyriakous is one of the most feared and ruthless vampires in existence. His name carries weight across all of the seven continents.

But he is a mystery to his kind, an anomaly among the self-indulgent. While he enjoys the pleasures of the flesh, he is exceptionally particular in his choice of partners and prides himself on his ironclad self-control. 

Yet with one look his control will become a thing of the past, and Alasdair will discover that eternal life doesn’t always last forever… 
A DEADLY ATTRACTION 

Thrust into a world he could never have imagined, Leo Chapel awakens in his worst nightmare. Taken hostage by the dangerously mesmerizing vampire, Alasdair, Leo must rely on his intelligence to escape before he reveals a secret he isn’t even aware he’s hiding. 
A FORBIDDEN DESIRE

But enemies are watching and preparing to act against them. When decisions that will alter lives and destinies have to be made—can a dead, grey heart learn to beat again? 

Slaying The Dragon by T.K. Leigh  ~AMAZON

I should have resisted him, but I couldn’t. My addiction to him was all-consuming, the high from his touch unlike any other.
Without him, I couldn’t focus, couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe.
With him, I hated myself for being too weak to fight the devil himself.
And Tyler Burnham was the devil.
He used me.
He lied to me.
But he loved me. And he still does.
Unable to stop thinking about the man who deceived her, Mackenzie Delano struggles to move on with her life and forget that Tyler Burnham ever walked into her life. But she still aches for him, despite his betrayal. Her mind is at war with her heart, a war that could be the difference between living and dying.
Tyler Burnham is lost without Mackenzie. As he contemplates the meaning of everything, he tries to find a way to prove that his feelings for her are true. That he would walk through fire to keep her at his side. That he would sacrifice it all…his career, his fortune, his life…to protect her.
The truth is, he may just have to…

See Me by Nicholas SparksAMAZON
See me just as I see you . . .
Colin Hancock is giving his second chance his best shot. With a history of violence and bad decisions behind him and the threat of prison dogging his every step, he's determined to walk a straight line. To Colin, that means applying himself single-mindedly toward his teaching degree and avoiding everything that proved destructive in his earlier life. Reminding himself daily of his hard-earned lessons, the last thing he is looking for is a serious relationship.
Maria Sanchez, the hardworking daughter of Mexican immigrants, is the picture of conventional success. With a degree from Duke Law School and a job at a prestigious firm in Wilmington, she is a dark-haired beauty with a seemingly flawless professional track record. And yet Maria has a traumatic history of her own, one that compelled her to return to her hometown and left her questioning so much of what she once believed.
A chance encounter on a rain-swept road will alter the course of both Colin and Maria's lives, challenging deeply held assumptions about each other and ultimately, themselves. As love unexpectedly takes hold between them, they dare to envision what a future together could possibly look like . . . until menacing reminders of events in Maria's past begin to surface.
As a series of threatening incidents wreaks chaos in Maria's life, Maria and Colin will be tested in increasingly terrifying ways. Will demons from their past destroy the tenuous relationship they've begun to build, or will their love protect them, even in the darkest hour?
Rich in emotion and fueled with suspense, SEE ME reminds us that love is sometimes forged in the crises that threaten to shatter us . . . and that those who see us for who we truly are may not always be the ones easiest to recognize.

For the very first time in his life, he is affected. Having been told his entire life that he can't process or understand emotion, he considers it a big deal. 
When Mina Harris gets caught red-handed with a wallet that isn't hers, she falls apart. She's tired, lonely and hasn't eaten in days. 
Lev offers her an ultimatum... A nice warm bed, a hot meal and a job, or the cops. 
Mina takes her chances with Lev. 
After all, a person with nothing has nothing left to lose.

Seducing Seven (What Happens in Vegas) by M.K. Meredith ~ AMAZON
He bet on logic. She bet on love.
Romance author Seven Michaels believes in love to her very core. She has to--not only for herself, but for her readers. So when luxury salesman Blake Turner insults not only her books but the people who read them, Seven's ready to throw down. How dare a playboy like Blake insinuate romance lovers are full of crap?
He wants proof? Fine. She bets Blake she can make him fall for her by using the rules in her latest novel before the end of the convention, or she'll denounce love in front of all her fellow authors and fans at the Romance Lovers Convention ball. A dangerous game to be sure, but humiliating Blake is worth the risk.
But when Seven realizes she's the one who's being seduced, she's no longer sure who is playing whom...or whether she'll have a career when the bet is over.

Dirty Lies by Emma HartAMAZON
Bad boy drummer Aidan Burke of Dirty B takes center stage in New York Times bestselling author Emma Hart’s hotly anticipated follow-up to Dirty Past and Dirty Secret!
Aidan Burke is the perfect rebound guy for Jessie Law after she catches her asshole ex-boyfriend with his hands down some other girl’s pants. The world-famous drummer of Dirty B isn’t shy about his preference for no-strings-attached relationships, so when she meets him on a night out, she takes him up on his simple proposal: One night of fun. Hot sex. Zero expectations.
But Dirty B’s tour is over, and they’re back in South Carolina—which means running into Aidan more often than Jessie would like.
When Aidan saves Jessie from her ex-boyfriend by insisting the two are dating, the band’s manager convinces them to keep up the charade in the hopes of re-inventing Dirty B’s image as lovable bad boys, as opposed to d-bags. Now all Aidan and Jessie have to do is put on a very obvious, very public show to convince everyone their affection is real.
But pretending to be in a relationship is harder than it seems. Aidan’s hordes of jealous fans have no problem bombarding Jessie with threatening messages online—and worse. And things only get more complicated when Jessie realizes her feelings for Aidan may not be so fake after all. Can Jessie live with the risks? And is Aidan willing to let her?

Breaking Him by R.K. LilleyAMAZON
Scarlett 
It was the kind of relationship where I invested more than I had to spare. 
I gave it everything. 
And so when it failed, I lost myself. 
It changed me. He changed me. 
I went down with the ship. 
My soul, burnt embers in the aftermath. 
The fire of him ravaged it all. 
He burned me. 
Broke me. 
Scarlett had always dreamed big. She was headed straight for Hollywood. Destined for silver screen greatness. 
But in her wildest dreams she never imagined she’d be broke and single at twenty-eight, doling drinks at thirty-five thousand feet. 
She was a glorified waitress in the skies. 
It had been years since she’d seen him. 
But one day, there he sat, gazing intently at her, ready to set everything ablaze once more. 
Dante wanted her. Again. 
Sure, she’d play along…but this time, it was his turn. 
She was breaking him. 
After all, love is war.

Alexandria Collins has one week to live carefree—no ghosts of her past or pressures of her future haunting her. Reinventing herself as "Charli," she is knocked off her feet by a sexy, mysterious man who brings her pleasure like she never imagined.

Lennox "Nox" Demetri is wealthy, confident, and decisive--he knows what he wants. From the first time he sees Charli at an exclusive resort, he knows he wants her. Although he is usually the one to make the rules, together they agree on one: 
One week. No more. 
When betrayal comes from those closest to Alexandria, she must decide how far she is willing to go to survive. Choices are not always easy, especially when they involve the heart, body, and soul. After all, Infidelity is a business, and some rules are meant to be broken. 
"Is it really cheating if you're doing it to yourself?" 

Transparent by Erin NoelleAMAZON
Her elusive past didn't worry me, 
Her heartbreaking scars never made me cringe, 
And her haunting demons only made me a stronger man, 
But the day Blake Martin was stolen from me, 
I was scared to death. 
Prepared to do anything necessary to get her back, 
Little did I know it just might cost me my life. 
My name is Madden Decker, and this is my story.

Chaser by Staci HartAMAZON
Everyone knows you should never say never. 
Cooper Moore never saw Maggie Williams coming. She was just his best friend’s little sister, the curly-haired, freckle-faced girl from Mississippi who was absolutely off limits. And he never thought about her any other way — not until he saw her that night, broken and brave. From that moment on, he knew he’d do whatever it took to protect her, even if it meant he had to stay away. 
Maggie never expected to find her fiancé banging her maid of honor an hour before she was set to walk down the aisle, but life’s funny that way. The only option to save her sanity is to get the hell out of Jackson and move to New York where her brother lives. The only downside: Cooper is there too. And she just doesn’t know if she can stay away from him — the filthy rich, dead sexy playboy who’s allergic to commitment. 
The second Maggie sees him again, she realizes he’ll be impossible to resist. Luckily, commitment is the last thing on her mind, and Cooper is the perfect escape. As long as she can keep her heart in check, everything will be just fine. Because she can never have feelings for him. Or at least that’s what she’ll keep telling herself.

Betrayal (Infidelity Book 1) by Aleatha Romig


MY REVIEW



5 STARS – Truly unique, surprising and addictive!
Once you dive into this newest book by Aleatha Romig you’ll not be able to put it down!!!

“Before the loss of innocence, I pretended that Montague Manor was truly a castle and I was the princess.”

Betrayal starts out with a bang and it carries on at an unstoppable pace. With a truly unique storyline, intriguing and engaging characters it will grab you from the start. I began this book in the late afternoon on release day and finished it within hours; I once again could NOT PUT IT DOWN! If you read and loved the Consequences series like I did, this book is going to have you fangirling all over the place.
Alexandria Charles Montague Collins (Alex Collins) has lived most of her life behaving like a good southern girl and fulfilling her mother’s demands, but when she leaves Savannah to attend college in preparation of becoming a lawyer she makes a decision. Her decision to re-invent herself for herself, not being someone that everyone else wants to her to be, but be the person she wants to be.

“On a late August afternoon, when I stepped off the airplane in San Francisco, I chose to do what my mother never could: discover life – not Alexandria’s, but Alex’s.”

Her 4 years away at school is the best time she’s ever experienced. She’s free of the house that she feels is nothing more than a beautiful prison. She has a best friend she loves like a sister and the air she that needs to finally breathe, and move on from her past, which by the way remains a mystery for the moment.A week long get away to a sunny beach location with her best friend, is the perfect way for Alex to celebrate graduating her first 4 years of college, before beginning her journey of fulfilling her lifelong dream. The vacation is just what she needed, and when she meets Nox, she finally discovers what true passion is at the age of 23. Having only ever dated infrequently and never forming any real attachments, Nox, the mysterious businessman who rescues her from a resort leech, knocks her off her feet. The attraction and curiosity is instantaneous…

“Is this guy for real? Or is this my fantasy?”

What takes place next, as they say is history.

“He’d told me what to do. I hated to admit that it excited me more than scared me. I shouldn’t like that.”

After the best week of her life, Alex returns home, only to be summoned by her mother to Montague Manor. This is where the story took a drastic turn for me. From this point on, I could feel the mysterious and dark undertones beginning to surface within the story. I knew that something crucial would unfold, but it remained elusive, just out of my reach. When you dive into a book Aleatha you should always be prepared to be shocked and uneasy, and this is what happened to me. I knew that there was so much more I needed to know and understand before I could unravel what she had so intricately begun to weave, but this is book one in what is to be a five book series, so answers will undoubtedly be revealed in good time. I found myself completely engrossed in Betrayal; I fell in love with Alex and Nox, and hated some of the other characters with a fierce conviction.

“Happiness in another person wasn’t real. All people did was betray one another: if not on the first date, then eventually.”

Betrayal takes yet another mind blowing turn near the end of the book, and this was where I found myself sitting there with my mouth gaping and totally shocked. I never saw it coming; it set me back for a few moments trying to process. This book was not what I was expecting at all! That is this author’s greatest talent, taking a story that you thought you understood somewhat and then flipping it 360 degree. I LOVE IT! It’s a total adrenaline rush. My heart raced, ached, broke, raged, raced again and stammered more than a few times while reading this one. To say that the writing is incredible is a drastic understatement of course. I’ve come to expect nothing less from this author. She delivers twists, turns, thrills, shivers, and hot flashes like a pro. What this book has started for me, is an obsession, an obsession to read the next 4 books and put all of the pieces together to reveal the big picture. OMG I can’t wait!

“Dreams, like fairytales, all come to an end. We wake or turn that final page. There’s no escaping it. It may take us days, years, or an entire lifetime, but forever doesn’t truly exist. No matter how hard we wish or try, the end always comes.”

Thrilling, mysterious, sexy, dark and ominous this book ignites rampant intrigue and curiosity! I need more clues, more insight, more Alex and Nox, I need Cunning NOW! Cunning is scheduled for release January 2016 and it cannot possibly come soon enough.

Buy and read Betrayal, it’s twisty, turny, sexy deliciousness at its very best!

“In one short week, she’d made me forget that my life was about control. Only I can control my own destiny. For a sliver of time I let myself have hope.”

EXCERPT

I motioned around the patio. "Is this what you do? You save women from the resort leaches and lure them to your lair?"
"My lair? Am I Batman?"
"Are you? I don't know."
He smirked. "If only I could make a living at doing just that, but alas, no. You're my first rescue."
I stopped my reach for a piece of cheese and looked back up at him. "You're first?"
"My first rescue,” he clarified. “Hardly my first."
"Why?"
He lifted his glass toward me in a toast. After I lifted mine, he said, "To you, Charli with an I, and to learning more about you."
After our glasses clinked and we both took a sip, I asked the question that I'd been dying to know ever since our morning encounter. "You seem to have a clear advantage. You know my name, but I've yet to learn yours."
"Do I?"
"Do you what?"
"Do I have an advantage?” He leaned closer. “Do I know your name? You see, I had the resort's reservations scoured. I wanted to send a gift to your room and confirm our dinner, yet Charli was nowhere to be found."
I took a deep breath. "Well, I'm here with my sister. I guess my name isn't on the reservation."
"You're sister?"
"Yes, and you—if I were to have the reservations scoured?"
The sun had now fully set, falling below the water and the darkening sky was beginning to fill with stars, especially over the water. 
"Would you believe, Batman?" When I didn't respond, he said, "Bruce Wayne?"
Though I pursed my lips, I felt the twinkle in my eyes.
