The Queen of Reality TV meets the Kingpin of Porn

She’s trying to clean up her act.

He’ s a purveyor of filth.

It will never work.

But don’t tell them that.

Dynassy Barnes isn’t known for her big heart.

She is, however, known for her heart-shaped ass and the selfies she shares with her army of social media followers. So when she meets a handsome former SEAL, she thinks she may have scored a love connection and a way to redeem her reputation with fans.

Bridger Thompson is a man of many secrets.

When an explosion in Iraq damaged his ability to satisfy his then-fiance, he never dreamed the machine he built to carry out his husbandly duties would turn into a business featuring women pleasuring themselves with it on camera. A business that could never be associated with The Barnes’ Family, the darlings of reality TV.

But Dynassy stirs a desire Bridger hasn’t felt in years, and he’s dead set on laying claim to the famous beauty—even though he fears he won’t be able to love her the way she deserves.

For that, he’d need to become a Machine.

Excerpt

I yawned and was about to pull out my phone when one of the sexiest men I’d ever seen walked through the door.

The vibe that entered the room with him was so intense that I almost giggled out loud like a schoolgirl. His sandy-brown hair had just enough curl to give it a mind of its own, and make him look like he’d spent the day surfing. Or maybe doing something more naughty to mess it up.

To my disappointment his navy blue coveralls didn’t have his name scrawled on them, but I did notice a line of tattooed blue stars trailing down one side of his neck, and it made me wonder where that tattoo ended and what other ones he was hiding beneath his clothes. He moved with the grace more common of an athlete than a mechanic, and his green eyes had a soulful intensity that made my heart skip a beat.

“How can we help you today?” The Adonis spoke, startling me from my thoughts. His voice was deep and sexy and I wanted to hear more of it.

“Um, I dropped my car off last week, but before I wrecked it, it was giving me some problems.”

“What kind of problems?”

“Like a squeaking problem.”

“Were there times it did it more than others?”

Now I felt stupid, and I wished I could drive the car for him and let him hear it for himself, but I jacked it up pretty good when I hit that tree.

“Not really?”

There I went sounding tentative again.

“It’s probably a belt. We can fix it.”

The confidence in his voice made me think this man could take care of any problems a girl might have.

Review

Bridger Thompson maybe a man of many secrets, but his biggest secret is that he's got a heart of gold and a machine that will rock your world. Be still my beating heart.

When I finished The Baller's Secret Baby I couldn't wait to get my hands on Dynassy's story. She's fun, feisty, and down to earth even though she's living life in the spotlight. And when she sets her mind on something, nothing and no one, not even her mother, will get in her way. She may get lost from time to time, she will always come back to what's in her heart. And what's not to love about a woman that will stand by her man when others would want to bring him down.

Bridger hasn't had the easiest of times the last few years, but one look at Dynassy changes everything. He was only half living, but now the future he never though he could have, now seems in his grasp. His job, the one that makes him the big bucks, could cause all sorts of trouble for Dynassy, but there is no way he could let her get away. Gotta love a man that knows what he wants and will stop at nothing to get it.

Oh my, how I loved this book. I knew going in that I would like Dynassy but I completely fell in love with her. I love how there is more to her that one would think. She's got a head on her shoulders no one expected. And Bridger? I want to tie him to my bed and never let him get away. A solider, mechanic, and an entrepreneur wrapped up in one devilishly sexy package.

This book isn't all sex, there's a love story that will warm your heart. I couldn't put it down until I had finished it, but even then I wanted more. I am loving the Barnes family, yes even mama Barnes, and eagerly await the next book in this series.

After reading this sensual and thrilling book, you will be wanting a Luv Machine of your own.

Excerpt

“So, I’m not a stranger?” Bridger teased.

When he held me in his arms like that, the last thing he felt like was a stranger.

“No,” I managed shyly. I couldn’t believe how comfortable I was around him. He and I came from different worlds, but his embrace seemed like the safest place in the world. I suspected those big strong arms that just pulled me around the dance floor could protect me better than any man I’d ever met.

“Want to dance some more?” he asked.

“Yes.” I nodded enthusiastically.

We whirled across the floor, his hand on the small of my back guiding me, the muscles on the back of his neck pulsing under my fingertips. He smelled better than I would have dreamed—a combination of sandalwood and leather that spurred a sense of longing that made me imagine kissing his earlobe.

But before I could summon the courage to do it, the band stopped playing, and Bridger grabbed my hand. “Ready?”

I was ready for anything he wanted, so I said, “Sure.”

He walked me out to the parking lot and stood by an old gray pickup truck. That didn’t surprise me, but when he opened the passenger door to the eggplant-colored Dodge Viper next to it, I was caught off guard.

“I thought—” I started, but then tried to stop myself before I said something stupid, or worse, insulting.

He chuckled. “That the pickup was mine?”

I smiled, but didn’t answer.

“I get it.” Then he mumbled something about an inheritance and got behind the wheel. So, the mechanic, who’d been wounded in combat and was a SEAL no less, was also an heir of some sort. The better I got to know Bridger, the more I realized he was much more complicated than I’d originally thought.

There was a lot more to him than that deliciously curly brown hair and those piercing green eyes.

The Baller's Secret Baby

Series: Barnes Family #1

Author: Normandie Alleman

Genre: Sports/Contemporary Romance

Release Date: July 20, 2016

Blurb

He may be a player, but this stud’s not shooting blanks.

Nick
I'm nobody's baby daddy.

I don't care how many stunning women throw themselves at me,

looking to turn one hot night into an eighteen-year paycheck.  

I've got way too much on the line to throw it away for one night of pleasure.

Ball is life, and basketball is my first priority.

I've got a championship to win.

But when I see that familiar face shaking her pom-poms on the sidelines,

I’m transported back to childhood, 

Back to the days before a fiery plane crash ripped us apart,

forcing us to grow up overnight. 

Those were the days when Eden Evans stole my heart.

This time, I might be ready to give it right back to her.  

Eden

I have no interest in a man who comes with groupies. 

With a rock legend for a father, I’ve seen the toll fame takes on a marriage. 

The last thing I need is a guy with more Twitter followers than Justin Beiber. 

So when Nick Barnes dribbles his way back into my life,

my heart and head go into battle.

I can't fight my desire for the sexy baller with his eight-pack abs

and panty-dropping charm.

And when that little stick shows an unmistakable plus sign,

suddenly, everything is on the line.  

With a secret baby on the way, will Nick realize that having the home court advantage is what he's wanted all along?

Excerpt

I ordered for us both and we settled into an easy conversation. Being with her felt like slipping into an old pair of comfortable shoes—if those shoes were the hottest kicks ever, and they made your stomach do a flip when you wore them.

The champagne arrived, and I made a toast. “To old friends.”

“To old friends,” she repeated and clinked her glass against mine. “I probably shouldn’t be drinking this.”

“Why is that?”

Then she told me about the scrutiny she was under from the cheerleading director of the Scorpions.

“I hear you. I don’t drink much during the season myself, but tonight seems like a special occasion.”

“Oh, it is. I agree with you! And I am having the fish.”

“You are. What a good girl.” I wanted to offer to help her work off some of the calories later, but I behaved myself and only thought it.

She giggled. “Okay, so I have a question.”

“Shoot.”

She smiled before continuing. “I heard these girls talking about how you have bunnies… What does that mean?”

It was my turn to smile. “It’s like saying someone has hops—like they can jump.”

Her face lit up. “Oh, so it’s like how Charles Barkley calls you Air Apparent because you can dunk so well.”

“Yes, exactly like that.”

“How do you do it—dunk I mean?”

I shrugged. “Practice. Lots of practice.”

“Well, that’s a relief. I was afraid they were talking about Playboy bunnies.”

We both laughed.

“Not quite. I steer clear of that place.”

“The Playboy Mansion?”

“Yeah. That scene is a trap for guys like me.”

“In what way? Seems like guys like you would love that sort of, ahem, environment.”

“Nah. Maybe if we could stay incognito, but once people recognize you, know you’ve got money, they all want one thing from you.”

“And I’m guessing it’s not your hops?”

“Nope. Everybody wants a payday, a piece of you. When you’ve got money you can’t trust anyone.”

She shook her head. “Especially if you’re famous. I do well with my medical business, but it’s not the same.”

I stood corrected. Damn, I needed this girl. She brought me back down to Earth.

Taking her hand across the table, I held it, the warmth of her skin felt so good in my hand that for a moment I forgot all the outside pressures, the untrustworthy people and the users in the world. Everything else melted away and it was just me and Eden, who’d known me when I was a boy. The girl who was my friend before I became a household name or signed my first contract for millions. When it was just us blowing bubbles during the hot summer days and chasing fireflies at night.

Holding hands with her like this—it felt like home.

Review

When I first picked this book I was a little unsure if I would enjoy it, but as a fan of Normandie, I had to at least give it my undivided attention and open mind. But once I started, I couldn't put it down. Nick captured me from the start and slowly warmed his way to my heart. Unlike his controlling, overpowering mother, he was kind, sweet, down to Earth. He knew he didn't want to be like his mother, he wanted something more. His desire to succeed in his profession is his driving force, but deep down he wanted to find that special someone and have the family he always yearned for. The family he wished he had.

On an night out with friends, he sees someone from his past that steals his breath away. Getting to her has become his passion, because she is the one person that he always felt comfortable with. And now, years later, she is stunning, smart, and quite possibly his most trusted friend.

Eden was excited to reconnect with Nick. She always had a crush on him and the years have been good to him. He's filled out rather nicely and she longs to run her hands all over him. But he's a player and she's not one for a wham, bang, thank you ma'am. However, the more time she spends with him, the more she wants a future with him.

Of course, sometimes life throws you curve balls you didn't see coming. Eden has a secret, Nick gets traded, lies get told, and people stand in way. Can Nick and Eden work through all the issues and make a real start at a future? Or are they only ever to be a short term fling?

I really enjoyed getting to know Eden and Nick, inside and out. The passion that flows between the two radiates off the pages and into the reader. You are taken on a rollercoaster of emotions and in the end, you can help but feel like you've been on a journey of self discovery towards true love.

The Barnes family is complicated and full of fascinating characters, I can't wait to see what will happen with this family in the future.

Excerpt

What man doesn’t like to be wanted?

Well, not if you’re me and you’ve just done a stint in jail for a crime you didn’t commit.

The press and social media have crucified me. People hate my guts. Nobody believes that I’m innocent.

Especially the woman who is determined to put me back behind bars because I destroyed her family. She’s hell bent on making me pay for my sins.

I’m starting a new life and putting all that crap behind me.

Except that Addison James won’t let me. She worms her way into my life and my bed until she’s under my skin and I just can’t shake her.

I’m Foster Cruise.

I’m wanted.

Review

Some times you read a book and all can remember is all the hot, sexy details, the story behind the couple gets lost in the shuffle. I love all the sexiness and Wanted is all that, but it also gives you more. The love story between Addison and Foster is real, emtional, and intense. The writing will capture you from the start and keep you entranced until the every end. The reader will be drawn to Foster and Addison and be able to relate to their issues, understand their thinking, and feel their heart with each passing page.

Foster may have made some bad decisions when he was younger, but he's grown over the past several years and seen the error of this ways. He's vowed to make things right, one way or another. He wants to find that someone special that will see him for him, not just his good looks and what is in his bank accounts. And he may seem like a tough, macho man but inside he's got a heart of gold.

Addison is young, beautiful, and out to set right the wrongs that have been done to her and her family. You can't help but love her for her passionate desire to help her family. Her heart may be in the right place, but her plans are not well thought out at times. And in the end, you have to admire her for her ability to admit when she is wrong, even though she jumped to conclusions without known all the facts.

I really enjoyed this book, more than I expect to. Once I started, I couldn't put it down until I had finished. Jani and Normandie have brought us a story that is has heart and passion that will leave the reader satiated and pleased. I can't wait see what these two talented authors will brings us next.

"Okay," she answered, and that was enough consent for me. I reached for the candle and matches I'd stored in the drawer of the nightstand.

I massaged her labia, squeezed her clit, and fingered her juicy pussy—readying it for me. She squirmed underneath me, and I had to caution her to try to remain still. When she was dripping wet, I poked the tip of my cock into her wet slit. Her corresponding moan told me I was on the right track.

Pushing in a little more, I lit the candle. I could feel her muscles twitching around me. She was trying not to move, but it was clear she wanted nothing more than to scoot her ass back and sheath me completely. I grasped her left hip firmly to remind her not to move as I let the first droplet of wax land on her back.

She let out a shriek, more from surprise than pain.

After the second drop hit, I gave her another inch of my cock. The noise she made was nothing short of exquisite. That delicious combination of pleasure and pain—that was what I gave her. It was what she'd come to crave, and no one would ever give it to her the way I did. I would see to that.

I fucked her slowly, punctuating my thrusts with drops of hot wax. Between the mmms of the fucking, and the ouches of the scalding wax she didn't know whether to coo or cry, and that was just the way I liked her—captive in my thrall.

The smell of sweat and sex filled my nostrils and fueled my lust. Sophie's fingers clutched at the bedsheets as I dribbled wax on her ass and pummeled her poor little pussy.

"Does that feel good, whore? Do you like me to burn you while I take you?" I taunted.

"Yes, Sir. Thank you, Sir."

Her submission was the most incredible gift. No matter what our future held, in that moment, the bond between us felt precious yet solid.

"Do you want to come, slut?"

"Yes, Sir."

"Beg."

"Please, please may I come, Sir?"

"You can do better than that. Make me believe you."

I don't know where to start with this review. This series has really blown me away, and this last installment to the Web Master series has left me speechless, utterly speechless.

I knew going into it that Quentin had some major issues to address and find a way to win back the love of his life. What I wasn't expecting was how much the depth of Quentin emotional trauma would affect me. My heart broken for him, for everything he's been through, the pain he's suffered. That molded him into the man he is today and what caused him to hurt Sophie. He thinks he's protecting her, but his acts only make her run away, break her heart, and hurting her emotionally and spiritually. He would never physically hurt, but this pain is much worse in her eyes. And now that he sees that and comes to realize he can't live without her, he'll do anything and everything to make thing right.

This book is told mostly from Quentin POV, giving the reader a deeper insight into this thinking not just throughout this book but the entire series. See all of him, getting to know him on a personal level. It raw, emtional, intense, and personal, but it just makes him relatable to the reader. I, personally, was enraptured by Quentin from the start, but fell head over heals in love with Quentin because of this book.

I've loved watching Sophie grow into a stronger individual because of Quentin's teaching. In the end, she's become the woman she's always wanted to be. The way she stands up to Quentin shows how much she's changed. She's what she feels and follows her heart, that's something that anyone can appreciate.

This book is brilliantly written and the stunning conclusion to this phenomenal trilogy. It is a heartfelt, emtional rollercoaster ride that will have you enthralled with each page. In the end it will leave you sated yet hungry for more.

A former psychologist, Normandie has always been fascinated by human behavior. She loves writing quirky characters that are all too human. Fiber arts, baking, and Pinterest are a few of her favorite pastimes. She lives on a farm with a passel of kids, an adorable husband, and a pet pig who’s crazy for Red Bull.
