Can a summer of sexual exploration, lead to an unconventional forever.

When his best friend moves to the area, Tyler seizes an opportunity to fulfill his wife’s fantasies while, hopefully, leading her in the direction of his.

They shared women in the past, and Connor’s the only man Tyler trusts with this special summer assignment. But when neighbors start to gossip, and the actions of strangers threaten their already precarious threesome, he worries that Angela’s uncertainties and Connor’s ex will end what could be the perfect forever.

Tyler O’Neil

Until pillow talk exposed his wife’s fantasies, Tyler had no idea some of Angela’s desires so closely matched his own. So, when he decides to enlist the help of his best friend to fulfill a few for her, he secretly hopes it will lead to his own personal desire - a permanent threesome. Tyler and Connor shared women in the past, he’s the one and only man Tyler trusts with this special summer assignment.

Connor Jones

Connor can’t believe it when he best friend asks if he would consider seducing his wife. Then he meets Angela, and all the women in his past fade away. With his friend’s blessing he sets out to seduce the man’s wife. And when Tyler joins the party, the three of them set the sheets on fire. Angela is one sexy woman, and Tyler is one lucky man. If only Connor could find a woman like her, one who would love him unconditionally.

Angela O’Neil

Angela is floored when her husband suggests they explore some of her fantasies. Sex with a stranger, phone sex, outdoor sex, threesome sex. These were things she read about, thought about, wished for, but never in her wildest dreams thought would she be able to live them. She loves her husband, but soon she finds herself falling for his best friend too. That’s not normal, is it? What will people think? Sandwiched between the two of them, she’s never felt so treasured, so protected, or so loved.

Angie sat cross-legged on the window settee. The brightness of the moon belied the late hour, pushing the shadows deep into the corners. The faint murmur of Tyler’s and Connor’s voices rose through the floorboards from the first level. She looked over at the rumpled bed sheets and then down at the journal lying open in her lap. She re-read her entry.
We did it. I actually did it. How much must Tyler love me to have granted me this particular fantasy? Who knew my husband had a kinky side? And, even though he encouraged me to play with Connor over the weekend, which…WOW…tonight was different. Very different. Tonight the man I’m committed to watched another man make love to me. He helped another man make love to me. No jealousy. No competition. Only mutual excitement, sharing and exploring.
Honestly, it was a little weird at first. But, knowing Tyler trusted Connor made me feel secure. Though I guess I should have known he’d arranged the whole thing. I just didn’t think his surprise would include his best friend.
Oh, my. I can still feel their hands and their lips gliding over my body. The way they touched me, as if I were made of spun sugar. They kissed me. First their lips soft and sensual, and then demanding, scorching, as though they couldn’t get enough. I’ve never felt so alive, so beautiful, so treasured.
Few words were spoken. Few were needed.
“Let’s tie her up.” I’ll never look at Tyler’s silk ties the same way.
“Your skin is so soft, like flower petals.”
“You smell like vanilla, but you taste like some exotic brand of honey.”
They were so in tune to each other. Their hands guided me where and how they wanted me. All I could do was moan and sigh—until the end. Sometimes they took turns, sometimes they played with me together. At times it was almost too much. Having four hands or two tongues pleasuring me…my body hummed like a tuning fork. The energy they created…oh…I could almost feel the blood rushing hot and thick through my veins.
The blindfold hid them from me, and I so wanted to watch. But, I admit, I had no difficulty telling them apart. Their bodies are similar in build, but they are different in every other way.
The only thing that could have made it better would have been to feel both men inside me at the same time. Being sandwiched between two gorgeous men…that’s something I think many women fantasize about. I imagine my body would struggle to accommodate them, but in the end they would win. I think I’d forget to breathe.
My mouth’s watering as I write this. My body tingles. Should I be ashamed of how I feel? How will Tyler react now that it’s over? Was this a one-time event? How do I tell my husband I’m counting the hours until we can do it again?
Angela paused and raised her head when the bedroom door opened, and her husband walked in, a knowing smile on his handsome face.

Our 5 Star Review

Tyler wants to make all his wife's fantasy's come true and one of them happens to coincide with one of his. Conner has been his best friend since college and now that he's moving to town Tyler thinks he's just the man to help with Angela. Angela's fantasies are just that fantasies until her husband says he'll help make them come true. When he's away for a weekend he help the two meet and interact and see where things will go. What can happen in one weekend and will it change everything for the better or worse?

Honestly if M/F/M books are not your style DON'T read this book, me personally though I love 'em. This story is about a fantasy many women have but more will never get to live out, watching Tyler's acceptance of what his wife wants and bring it to life was great to read. You see his love shining through and while he has an ulterior motive he is doing everything for Angela's happiness. Conner is a dream in and of himself hot sexy carpenter seducing the bored housewife where do I sign up? This has lots and lots of hot sweaty action, but it also has a great story involved as well. Great book I'll definitely read again!!

Checked
Synopsis


Callie spends countless hours staring at appliances to make sure they are really unplugged. She wastes obscene amounts of time checking for murderers in various corners of her house and entire sleepless nights performing pointless checking rituals. Then every spare minute is filled with inspecting doorknobs, chairs, floors, etc. for minuscule traces of germs. Oh, and she does all of this as she counts to three over and over again in her head. She does this every day. Without fail. Dr. Blake just doesn't fit into her schedule. Until he does. Until Callie begins to trust him. Until she starts to need him. And want him. And . . .

Our 4 Star Review

OCD you've seen cases of it in movies like Electra and of course the TV show Monk. Now come along the journey with Callie who's OCD is taken to new heights. She counts, she listens to the music in her head that deals with each situation of her day, and she has her routines. Now she's working to make herself better and Dr. Aiden Blake has a treatment plan to help her along, but as she spends more time with him the fluttery feelings she has around him have less to do with her OCD and more to do with the feelings she's developing towards Aiden. Will he help her or hurt her in the end?

33 checks 3 times. 33 checks 3 times. 33 checks 3 times. Callie's OCD works in three's and there's allot of repetition in her day and free time is a bad thing because it leaves too many things to think about. It was exhausting to read and I can only imagine how dealing with something like this is for people dealing with this in real life. Callie is a bit Naíve but considering her experiences with the real world it's believable in the story. I loved seeing her grow the more she spent time with Aiden and how it helps her live life more. Excited to see more of Callie story to see how things go as the story continues in the next book.

LOST IN ME
(Book #1)

Releasing April 7, 2014

 photo goodreadspurple1_zpsab2bdb71.png

The last thing I remember is having drinks at Brady’s and trying to avoid eye-contact with my life-long crush—the gorgeous, unattainable Maximilian Hallowell. They tell me that was a year ago, but I have no memories of anything since then. What I do have is this ring on my finger that Max says he gave me, and this much-thinner body I’ve dreamed of most of my life. Aside from a case of retrograde amnesia, everything seems almost…perfect.

But the deeper I immerse myself into this new world of mine—planning a wedding to a man I don’t remember dating, attempting to run a business I don’t remember starting—the clearer it becomes that nothing is as it seems. Do I have the life I’ve always wanted or is it a facade propped up by secrets I don’t even know I have?

I need answers before I marry Max, and the only person who seems to have them is the angry, tatted, sexy-as-sin rocker Nate Crane. And Nate wants me for himself.

About the Author

Once a college English professor, I now write full time. I live in rural Indiana, where, when I’m not writing, I get to hang out with my husband and two kids–a six-year-old boy and a two-year-old hellion, er, girl. Not surprisingly, reading and writing remain my favorite activities, though both come in bits and pieces these days, not the big hunks of time I enjoyed before I had children. When I’m feeling virtuous, I like to go running (I use that word liberally. I’m really, really slow) or do yoga. Don’t worry, I’m always careful to balance out such activities with a hearty serving of ice cream or a chocolate martini.

excerpt

Half an hour later, they rode back to the barn. “You don’t want to overdo it for your first time.” Garrett dismounted easily and tethered the horses to the post, then came to help her down. “Take your right foot out of the stirrup, swing your leg over, then place your right foot on the ground.” She tried to obey his instructions, kicking her right foot out of the stirrup before swinging it backward. Clenching the horn with a death-grip, she hovered in the air, her left foot still in the stirrup and her right hand grasping the back of the saddle. She didn’t think she could do it. Wobbling slightly, she sighed in relief when Garrett’s strong arms wrapped around her waist. “I’ve got you,” he murmured, his warm breath brushing her neck. A shiver raced down her spine. He helped her off Prince, untangling her left foot from the stirrup. She turned to him, a little dizzy. “Thank you.” She looked into his dark brown eyes, wanting to melt into their depths. Despite her best intentions, she was definitely attracted to this man. But what did he feel about her? “You’re welcome.” He gently smoothed her hair back from her face. “You might want to take a bath tonight, since you’re not used to horse riding.” She gave the briefest of nods. Her eyes remained locked on his. She didn’t want to do anything to break the sensual spell. Garrett’s hand touched the small of her back, his thumb caressing her spine, urging her to take a couple of steps closer to him. She obeyed willingly, her heart thudding with anticipation. He gazed down at her, threading his fingers through her hair. She held her breath as his lips descended, until they were only a heartbeat away from hers. “Maddie,” he murmured. She waited for the touch of his lips. Social Links

Laid Bear 2: The Kodiak Clan by Marina Maddix

Laid Bear 2: The Kodiak Clan
AUTHOR NAME: Marina Maddix
BOOK TITLE: Laid Bear 2: The Kodiak Clan
SUBCATEGORIES: Paranormal Romance, Shapeshifter Romance
REGULAR PRICE: $3.99 
SALE PRICE: 99¢

Synopsis

THE NOVEL-LENGTH STAND-ALONE SEQUEL TO THE BESTSELLER LAID BEAR

Curvy bear shifter Veronica Muir is ready for a new mate. It's been six long and lonely years since her husband was killed, leaving her to raise rambunctious twin cubs on her own. And wouldn't you know it, the first time she dips her toe into the dating world, she ends up falling head over heels in love…with a human.

Marine biologist Jess Slade is still raw from his divorce when he spots Veronica's online profile. Unable to resist her luscious curves, he takes a chance on love by moving to her hometown of Kodiak, Alaska. But the one thing he doesn't know about her might be the one thing he can't get past.

When a group of human-hating werebears called The Brotherhood threaten to tear them apart — quite literally — Jess and Veronica, with a little help from Max and Bethany, must decide where their loyalties lie and if their love is worth fighting for.
 
 

Our 4 Star Review

While this could be read as a standalone novel I recommend reading Laid Bear book 1 first so you see the characters Max and Bethany and their story.

This is the story of Veronica a werebear widow with twins "cubs" and Jess a human. You see more of the problems the shifter world has with mixed breeding and how it affects those how care for a human. You also see more of Max and Bethany and the continuation of their story and her pregnancy. And you get to see their online dating business working first hand with Veronica and Jess.

I loved see the characters incorporated into this novel , but also making a new couple a part of the story as well. Watching where the were was a female this time you got to see a whole new set of problems and how everyone is affected. I enjoyed watching Max and his freak outs over Beth's pregnancy and his Alpha male attitude about trying to keep her safe. Watching Veronica be strong and feminine throughout the story you see her trying to balance between her love life and her boys and the clan's attitude towards humans and her still being fierce and trying to do what's right for her. Excited to see more of this series and how the story will take off in future books.

Excerpt
My thoughts drift to creating a fantasy of Salem and me. We’re in the locker room at Frankie’s gym and I’m all hot and sweaty from training. I have her pinned up against the wall and she’s completely defenseless against me, but she’s into it. Her skirt is up around her waist and the little piece of fabric she calls underwear is interfering with what I want. I grind my body up against hers and my dick is swelling as I rub up on her thigh. My hands roam freely over her body, finally landing on her tight ass. Our tongues are dueling and I’m drunk on her taste. The scent of the perfume or body spray she’s wearing is tormenting me until I’m at my breaking point. “God, Salem, you smell so fucking good; it makes me wanna fuck you until you can’t remember your own name,” I growl. Her hands tighten in my hair and a stronger wave of her scent drifts into my nose as I inhale. My chest is heaving at my thoughts and my breathing is labored. Sliding my hand into my boxers, I adjust myself to get more comfortable and my thoughts are almost immediately back with Salem. Her perfectly manicured nails are clawing at my back now as I dig my fingers into her legs. I kiss her neck roughly as she pants in my ear, “Make me come, Saint.” Then she bites my earlobe and I lose control. I’m so anxious to have her that I rip off the expensive panties she’s wearing and slam my cock into her like her pussy is my saving grace. I smile when she screams in pleasure as she comes apart in my arms.
Unconsciously, my hand slides back down into my boxers until it meets my aching erection. This time I begin stroking myself; I just can’t help it. Salem…there’s just something about her…I’m not sure if it’s her beauty or the fact that I’ll have to work to get her. But, whatever it is, she will be mine.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Our 4 Star Review

Gabriel "Saint" has been on the wrong side of the tracks, but when Frankie helps him learn the ropes of boxing his life is saved from becoming drug addicted and living on the streets. Now getting ready for a bit fight he's approached by Blane who wants to sponsor him. What he wasn't expecting was a feisty red head to give him a run for his money, not to mention she's supposed to be taken by Blane. After starting his work with Blane and seeing what kind of guy he is he also gets a closer look at Salem and feelings he's never had before overtake him. What do you do when you fall for a girl who's not yours?

Saint is a ladies man, a total man whore, but deep down you see he's a good guy, even doing his best to stay away from Salem and not let her know what he does about Blane because he doesn't wanna hurt her. He cares about the kids he works with and you can see he's a sweet guy. Watching him learn to accept his feelings is a journey and you can't help but want him to get everything he wants. Salem well she's weak, as a character I didn't care for her much she was too pathetic to leave a guy she knew was cheating on her and when she caught him with his pants down she still let Gabriel go even though they could have been great. I hope she's stronger in the next book and actually deserves good guy Gabriel cause how she left him sucked to day the least. I am interested to see more of their journey and how thing go.
