Excerpt:

Once More
Kiss my lips with your mouth,
Kiss my face with yours.
You move to my neck,
My breathing is rapid.
I pant as you kiss my neck, longing for your touch.
My body yearns and yells deep within me for more of you.
My breasts throb as they wait for your hand to move to them.
I become wet with love for you alone.
Your hand moves to my breasts,
I am weakened.
I moan in pleasure for my desired one.
Your tongue is soft, moving gently down to my belly.
You reach my inner thigh,
I scream with pleasure.
The taste of me pleases you, and you take your fill,
Pleasuring my treasure,
Tasting my love for you,
You consume every drop of me.
My back arches as you require more of me, my love.
I scream your name as you enter me.
Once more, my love, I melt into you.
Once more, my love, I become you.
Your sweat has become mine,
Your taste is as mine.
You melt into me;
I feel warm inside,
My love, my life, my soul.

Review

This was a quick read for poems and short stories that get your heart pumping. The poems were sensual and sweet. The short stories were a great read and got to the good stuff without drawing it out the drama. Sometimes, life gets in the way and relationships can lose their spark. This collection is perfect to remind you not to give up on what you love most. 

My personal favorite was the short story Fantastic Fantasy. The feelings she was feeling was jumping off the page. And the ending was breathtaking; not what I was excepting.

New Release & Review ~ Her Gaze by Angel A.

༻ RELEASE DAY BLITZ: Her Gaze by Angel A., Feb 2nd ༺

 

• SYNOPSIS •

At that moment, Gabe knew he had fallen for her. The first time he laid eyes on Sofy he knew that she was for him and he was hers. However, she was already taken by a dangerous man. A man that would kill before letting her go. But Gabe was willing to put his life in harm’s way to be with the woman he was in love with.
 

This suspenseful and sexy short story is full of excitement. It gives joy to the imagination and makes the heart beat a little faster.

Review

This was a thrilling and fast paced read. Gabe has just started working as a taxi driver and his first call didn't go so well. Now on his second call, he encounters a stunning girl. This is the girl of his dreams and is instantly attracted to her. But too shy to do anything about it, he drops her off at her destination and watches her walk away. He didn't even get her name.

Days past without seeing her and he begins to grow desperate; after all he thinks he loves her. So he does the unthinkable by going to her home, but he stops short of reaching her place. What's he going to do, what's he going to say; he's started questioning his motives. But something catches his eye, it's her but she's not happy. No, she's been attached by some guy. Who is this guy? What's he going to do? Nothing, that's what. Okay, so he's a bit scared, who wouldn't be, but watching this man beat the woman he loves brings him strength and before you know it, he's on top of the guy. Now, everyone is trying to say the guy from Gabe and Sofy drags him away.

They're on the run, this man wasn't just abusive, he's deadly. Now Gabe and Sofy must watch their backs because if the guy catches up to him, they're both be in trouble. Days pass and they think they can rest a bit, they begin to learn about each other. The feeling Gabe has grow, and there is something in the way Sofy looks at him, but their joy is short lived. Gabe must decide if he want to fight for the woman he loves or walk away forever.

The fast pace of the book makes for a good read on the go. The characters are interesting, although I wasn't a fan of the amount of crying Gabe does. Getting the story from the male POV was intriguing. And the ending was great. I'd have like to seen more time with these two before they told each other they were in love, but overall I think it all worked out. The writing is great and I look forward to reading more work from Angel.

New Release & Review ~ Perfect Submission by Roxy Sloane

I’ve spent my life running from the past, but now there’s no escape.

He says he can save me — if I’ll only trust him.

I want to believe him, but how can I be sure?

My choice is ruin or surrender.

Now, I have to decide.

*The explosive final part of the sensual, suspenseful new serial*

Review

What an explosive finish to an outstanding series!

 

Perfect Submission picks up where Total Submission leaves off. Poor Isabelle was just starting her life over with Cam when Brent has to walk in and destroy everything. The silver lining to all this would be that she learns who her true friends are and that Cam will stand by her side no matter what.

 

The lengths Cam goes to to clear her name is honorable. It also makes everything both Cam and Isabelle finally admit their true feelings... Love!

 

The twists and turns of this entire series are breathtaking. Cam and Isabelle's relationship is electrifying and leaps off the pages. The story captures you from start to finish  and leaves you breathless and panting for more.

 

This is another awesome series from Roxy Sloane!

Book Blitz ~ Contractual by Alice Tribue

Title: Contractual

Author: Alice Tribue

 Release Date: January 26, 2015

Synopsis

They told me I’d be an escort; they made it sound so easy.

Really I’m just a high priced call girl.

Desperation brought me to this and it led me to him, my one and only client.

Hating him is easy, he reminds me of my shame.

Wanting him is wrong it fills me with guilt.

Loving him is a losing battle yet it’s become everything.

A gift and a curse, he consumes my every thought and I’d rather play my part in his bed than to spend one day without him.

Blog Tour & Review ~ The Sweet Temptation of Whiskey by Charlene M. Martin

Synopsis

Stone Black is a successful businessman who has demons in his closet. He is broken- maybe even beyond repair. He has never been in a successful relationship, because he doesn’t let anyone get close enough.

Anaya Cole has recently come into money and she is looking to invest. Mr. Black offers to help Anaya invest her inheritance So that she can open her abuse center.

Their attraction is overwhelming, but Anaya doesn’t want to want him. After all he’s a man-whore.

Ms. Cole has penetrated my mind and I just can’t seem to get her out of it. I have to have her, so have her I will. If it’s the last goddamn thing I ever do. I will screw her until she can’t walk and I will move on with my life just like I have always done.

Once Anaya tastes the whiskey on his breath, she can’t stop. She craves more, and when her head and her heart collide, she is left with an important decision – walk away or risk being burned?

After all, Whiskey never felt so good.

Prologue

Stone Black

       A loud Whack erupts as the leather slaps her thighs. Shudders rip through me as he screams, “You dirty fucking whore!” and he brings the belt across her ass, her strangled cries pierce my soul.

Through her tears she begs, “Stop! Please! You’re hurting me.” 

He ignores her requests and hits her again, smack right across her tear streaked face with his open fist. Her body quivers, as he yells once again, “Shut the fuck up!” I anxiously stare as he unzips his fly. Wraps his hands around his dick and shoves it in her face. “Suck my dick you filthy bitch!” She turns her head in disgust intentionally disobeying his request, but he forcefully grips her chin turning her head toward him and shoves his male appendage in her face.

I'm paralyzed with fear, my heart is ponding rapidly against my chest. My hands are uncontrollably shaking and I feel the bile rising in my throat. I have the urge to save my mom, but I can’t will myself to move. I take a chance glancing over at her and she is seated in one of our kitchen chairs with her hands tied behind her back. Her legs are spread wide as he stands between them forcing her to suck his dick. They are unaware of my presence as I cower in the corner of the room. My hands cover my eyes as my body trembles. With each loud noise I peek through my fingers to observe what’s going on.  He grunts loudly as he grabs a fist full of her hair and yanks. She screams causing my to body jump, I want so bad to cry, but I fear they will overhear me. 

He instructs her to stand up, turn around and kneel on the chair. Her right leg is on the floor steadying her and her left foot is propped up in the chair. She leans over the chair spreading her legs wide open. I witness his hand come up then whip forward to slap her ass. She yelps from the sting and he quickly shoves his dick inside of her. She screams from his forcefulness and I watch the tears stream down her faces as she bawls her eyes out.

He pumps into her, smacking her ass sporadically, she yelps when contact is made. I try so hard to ignore it all, to turn away, but for some reason I can’t take my eyes off of them. I listen as her tears are cut off by cries of pleasure, her whimpers turn into moans, and she becomes breathless.

My eyes flash open and I sit strait up in bed. My heart feels like it’s going to beat out of my chest, and I’m covered in sweat. I look around and realize that it’s okay I’m in my apartment. That I was just having another one of my night terror about my childhood. Which consisted of my drunken mother bringing home her abusive johns and low life boyfriends. They would beat the shit out of her, and then fuck her senseless. By the time I turned fifteen, I had witnessed enough sex to fuck like a porn star. The problem being that I started to get off on observing these various men bang my mother. I know it’s disturbing, but I couldn’t control it. Her erotic cries would turn me on and I’d have to service myself to ease the pressure. After a while, that wasn’t enough. I needed something more and I have been chasing after it ever since.

Review

This book really surprised me. I know that I like the premise but I didn't think that I would enjoy it as much as I did. I loved the back and forth POV's, it really lets you get to know what each person is thinking and helps understand them more. Stone hasn't had the easiest of lives and that makes him the man that he is. Anaya is strong and independent woman with a heart of gold. When these two get together, their chemistry is undeniable; you can feel it through the pages. Their relationship starts out as a no strings attached, but heats up fast. Stone becoming, for a lack of better term, her drug of choice. After a seperation, Stone realizes his feelings run deep and now must prove to her that he's serious about her. 

The sexual energy that courses through the page will leave you panting and unable to put it down until the end. At which time you will be breathless and sorry to see this story end. This was my first book by Charlene, but defiantly not my last.

**I have given this book for my honest review.**

Hi everyone I just want to take a moment to introduce myself. My name is Charlene M. Martin and I am the author of Unexpected series. Unexpected Love was released May 2013 and Unexpected Destiny (book 2) was released Jan. 1, 2014. I am not sure of a release date for the third and final book, but I will let you all know when I get close. Feel free to contact me at my links below as I look forward to spending more time with you all. I hope you enjoy what I have to offer. Thanks for your support.

AUTHOR CHARLENE M. MARTIN

I am a small town girl, I currently reside in the same city that I was born and raised in. I love watching teen drama shows, reading, writing, and listening to music.

I have a loving family my mother who has taught me about love and lasting relationships. A father who pushes me to excel and succeed at anything I desire.  My younger sister and I have become very close over the years and she is very supportive of everything I do.

I have been married for nine years to my best friend. I love my husband more than anything. He is so kind, loving and supportive. He likes to joke with his friends that, “My wife writes porn.”

We have an eleven-year-old daughter who is so smart and talented. I can’t believe how fast they grow up.  She is turning into quite the young lady.  She aspires to be so many things and I encourage them all. She loves to write songs and has even tried her hand at writing a book. Maybe one day she will follow my example.

Being that I am from a small town, I have made some long lasting relationships. I have two best friends that I have known for most of my life. We have continued to stick together over the years and we are always there for one another. I couldn’t imagine my life without them.

Animal lover I am not, but I have a headstrong dog that is the absolute best-behaved dog I have ever seen and a cat that drive me insane, but I love her nonetheless.

I have always aspired to be a neonatal nurse and I continue to work towards that goal. Maybe one day it will come true. However, writing has become my new favorite love.

I never would have dreamed that I would become a writer, but some really great people convinced me otherwise.  Eventually I decided to give it a try and what do you know? I just finished writing my second book and I couldn’t be happier. I will continue to write in my spare time with hopes of it becoming a full time career at some point in my life.

So take note, I am just a small town girl trying to bring light to your darkness, anything is possible if you work hard at it. So hold your head high, get out there, and do what you love.
