RELEASE DAY BLITZ: Going the Distance (Down for the Count #2) by Christa Cervone

  Boxing saved Gabriel’s life… From surviving a hellish childhood, to reuniting with his lost brother, only to struggle with helping him battle his drug addiction—a whirlpool of addiction that threatens to drag his brother under. Life’s been a roller coaster for Gabriel ‘The Saint’ Vega… Just when his career hits the fast track, he finally finds love with Salem, at least for a short time. But social differences, obligations, and misguided good intentions tore Gabriel and Salem apart before they could ever really get started. Is Salem capable of breaking away from the ropes that bind her to doing what’s expected rather than what and whom she desires? Can Gabriel convince Salem that their feelings are worth fighting for? Does their relationship have what it takes to go the distance?

Get caught up with the series......Irreparably Broken, Book 1





Madison Kennedy has always seen herself as damaged goods. Her ex-boyfriend, Richard, told her on a daily basis that she was worthless. After a tumultuous three year relationship, Maddie finally decided to leave behind the bruises and hurtful words only to find herself scared and alone. Five years have passed, and it still seems like yesterday.

Cole Walker grew up in a household where it was okay to hit. His father used him, his mother, and sister as punching bags when he didn’t get his way. Cole learned early on that life wasn’t always fair. Aside from his best friend, Wes, no one knew his deepest secrets. He thought he’d never escape the nightmare until one day he decided to fight back.

After several chance encounters, Cole and Maddie realize they have more in common than either one could have guessed, but both are afraid that if they open up they’ll scare the other away. Can two broken individuals find peace with each other? Can love heal a cracked soul? Will Cole’s secret past ultimately drive Maddie away?






LORI'S 5 STAR REVIEW

I fell in love with Cole and Maddie in book one, and book two was no different. I was kinda upset at Maddie for treating Cole like that, because all Cole wanted was to love her and help her. But because of Maddie's past with Richard, I knew she had a hard time believing in the good of a man.
The end of this book is, well, it sucks, because it is a HUGE cliffhanger and I am not very good with cliffhangers!!! But I cannot wait to find out what happens

Jazz singer Zoe Davis is facing eviction due to a teensy, ill-advised fling with her landlord, so when Gabe Reynolds offers the apartment over his garage, Zoe knows better than to get involved with her landlord again. No matter how smoking hot he is.

Former shark lawyer Gabe returns to Clover Park for the stress-free lifestyle only to corner the market on ridiculous “legal” cases. When Zoe comes to him asking for legal advice, Gabe’s solution is a shock even to him.

Gabe’s got good reason to avoid anything permanent, so when Zoe tells him she’ll only be staying a month, he figures it’s the perfect situation. But when passion flares this hot, someone is bound to get burned.

Lori's 5 star review:

Second book I've read by Kylie and I loved it!  Thanks for asking me to review it, sorry it took so long to get it done.  I love Gabe!  What a great man, with all the "bad" that happened to him in the past, and with all the bad luck Zoe had with men in the past and they find one another.  What a perfect match!  Can't wait to read about Vince's story

RECKLESS & REAL: THE COMPLETE SERIES by Lexi Ryan

RECKLESS & REAL: THE COMPLETE SERIES

Dive into a world of sex, secrets, and scandal in Reckless and Real. This omnibus bundle edition includes SOMETHING WILD, SOMETHING RECKLESS, SOMETHING REAL, as well as a bonus never-before-published, epilogue short story, SOMETHING BEAUTIFUL.

 

SOMETHING WILD

Samuel Bradshaw is a man with a reputation—the kind of reputation that should have me running the other way. Instead, it has me searching for the shortest distance to his bed. I won’t be the starry-eyed girl who thinks she can change a man like Sam, and despite what he thinks, forever is not what I need. I need the things he makes me feel, the way he turns me on, and the promise of pleasure in his eyes. I need SOMETHING WILD.

 

SOMETHING RECKLESS

He talks dirty to me, but I don’t know his name.

He wants to tie me up, but I don’t know his face.

He turns me on, but I couldn’t point him out in a crowd.

 

I’ve fallen for an anonymous stranger, and now the anonymity ends. I want more than typed secrets and texted promises. I want something reckless. Heat. Passion. The thrill of being entirely possessed.

Because I suspect this anonymous stranger isn’t a stranger at all.

 

 

SOMETHING REAL

After everything blew up on Christmas, Liz walked away from me, and I let her. She said she needed space and a chance to pursue her dreams. But we both knew she was running from the mess she made. Now the political campaign she used as an excuse to leave is bringing us back together and I’m proving to her what she really needs—not just the hot nights, greedy hands, and undeniable physical chemistry. What she really needs is something real. What she really needs…is me.

Excerpt:

Emily (Skipping Stones: Book 1)

Unedited

 

I shake my head, “No!”

“No?”

I nod, “No! You don’t get to come in here acting like you give a shit when you and I both know you don’t. I don’t care why you felt you needed to stay but you need to get your sorry two timing fucking ass up out of my house, before I feel the urge to punch the shit out of your junk. Got me?”

His eyes go wide and with each word that pops out of my mouth his mouth drops open a little more.

“Fuck that felt good,” I say with a small smile on my face.

“What has gotten into you?” Conner asks.

I frown as I ponder his question. Indeed, what has gotten into me? Oh yeah, my loving so-called husband of six years cheated on me. True, it was only going on for a week before I found out, but still once was enough.

“Emily?”

I look up at Conner as anger takes root in my gut, oh fuck it, “Get out! I don’t ever want to see you again.” I say as I glare at him.

His mouth opens and then closes.

I raise an eyebrow as I stare him down, “Now! You may leave now!”

“Fine!” he says as he shakes his head, walking past me.

I let out a breath when I hear the front door close behind me. Then it hits me what I just did and said and I can’t help but giggle. Oh fuck, I’ve never stood up to him before and it felt good. Real good! Now I’m laughing hysterically holding my stomach as tears start running down my face. Before long my knees give out but I don’t hit the floor.

“I got you,” I look over my shoulder and see Conner.

I turn wrapping my arms around his neck as he picks me up, cradling me to his chest. He moves and I’m not sure where he’s going till I feel him lay me down on my bed. I don’t want him to leave but then again I do, oh damn this whole heartbreak bitch thing is a total mess. When I feel him lay down behind me I don’t think twice when I turn over wrapping my arms around him laying my right leg in-between his.

“I got you, I never should of let you go. Never!” Conner whispers.

Say My Name J Kenner

New York Times bestselling author J. Kenner kicks off a smoking hot, emotionally compelling new trilogy that returns to the world of her beloved Stark novels: Release Me, Claim Me, and Complete Me. Say My Namefeatures Jackson Steele, a strong-willed man who goes after what he wants, and Sylvia Brooks, a disciplined woman who’s hard to get—and exactly who Jackson needs.

I never let anyone get too close—but he’s the only man who’s ever made me feel alive. Meeting Jackson Steele was a shock to my senses. Confident and commanding, he could take charge of any room . . . or any woman. And Jackson wanted me. The mere sight of him took my breath away, and his touch made me break all my rules. Our bond was immediate, our passion untamed. I wanted to surrender completely to his kiss, but I couldn’t risk his knowing the truth about my past. Yet Jackson carried secrets too, and in our desire we found our escape, pushing our boundaries as far as they could go. Learning to trust is never easy. In my mind, I knew I should run. But in my heart, I never felt a fire this strong—and it could either save me or scorch me forever. Say My Name is intended for mature audiences

J. Kenner (aka Julie Kenner) is the New York Times, USA Today, Publishers Weekly, Wall Street Journal and International bestselling author of over seventy novels, novellas and short stories in a variety of genres.

Though known primarily for her award-winning and international bestselling erotic romances (including the Stark and Most Wanted series) that have reached as high as #2 on the New York Times bestseller list, JK has been writing full time for over a decade in a variety of genres including paranormal and contemporary romance, “chicklit” suspense, urban fantasy, Victorian-era thrillers (coming soon), and paranormal mommy lit.

Her foray into the latter, Carpe Demon: Adventures of a Demon-Hunting Soccer Mom by Julie Kenner, has been consistently in development in Hollywood since prior to publication. Most recently, it has been optioned by Warner Brothers Television for development as series on the CW Network with Alloy Entertainment producing.

JK has been praised by Publishers Weekly as an author with a “flair for dialogue and eccentric characterizations” and by RT Bookclub for having “cornered the market on sinfully attractive, dominant antiheroes and the women who swopn for him.” A three time finalist for Romance Writers of America’s prestigious RITA award, JK took home the first RITA trophy awarded in the category of erotic romance in 2014 for her novel, Claim Me (book 2 of her Stark Trilogy).

Her books have sold well over a million copies and are published in over over twenty countries.

In her previous career as an attorney, JK worked as a clerk on the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, and practiced primarily civil, entertainment and First Amendment litigation in Los Angeles and Irvine, California, as well as in Austin, Texas. She currently lives in Central Texas, with her husband, two daughters, and two rather spastic cats.
