Blurb:

I’m a man no one fucks with.
I’m a man all the bitches want.
I’m also the world champion of MMA…Mafia style.
I don’t get my name from winning, I get my name for my size. I am a BEAST, I’m also the one your father’s warn you little girls about.

BEAST


Beast has had his life set for him for an early age, he was pushed into training to fight the world’s best. His father had his eyes on the dollar signs while he forced his son into the brutal world of MMA. He was trained hard, and he became the best. But the bosses have changed the rules and the rules are about to fuck him over. He will bring hell down onto the MMA circuit and he will become top man. But will he gain the power he deserves? Or is everything he’s worked so hard for been for nothing?

Carlotta is a fierce woman whose life hasn’t been quite straight cut. But she leads her path in the right direction, sort of. When the opportunity arises to make extra money to fund her passion, she takes it.
She trains. She fights. She wins. 
Meeting Beast was an unpleasant experience, and her dislike for his egocentric and arrogant behaviour rubs her the wrong way, but her curiosity is piqued and she can’t remove him from her mind. Will their one night of passion lead to anything? Or will being in the MMA lifestyle tear them apart before they get started?

Who will win the ultimate battle of hatred and anger? Will they fight for their passion or will it come crumbling down around them with severe consequences?

About the Author:

Lucii is your typical British girl, hates the sun and hibernates when summer arrives! She lives at home with her 3 year old daughter, where they spend the day watching Frozen and playing playdoh.

She started off as a regular person, job, home life, health issues and a love of reading. After reading the Fifty shade phenomenon, she went onto social media to seek other authors writing the same or similar genres. She entered a world she didn’t know existed and went on to open a successful blog.

Inspiring dreams took a back burner while she learned the book community and met a bunch of amazing authors and readers alike.

A year later she decided to start writing, hoping against hope that her friends and fellow readers will like what she brings to the table.

My Review
I really enjoyed this story. It was a quick read but I still felt like I got to know the characters enough so I could connect. I felt like I shouldn't like Beast he could come off lie a bit of a douche at times but dammit I couldn't help but find him sexy. I loved the connection between him and Carlotta and my only problem is I wanted to read more and the book ended. I can't wait for book two where I'm hoping to hear more from these two.

Hawk - Sex and Bullets 2 - Jo Raven Release Blitz

Title : Hawk ( Sex and Bullets 2 )

Author: Jo Raven

Genre : Romance

Photographer : Pato Battellini

Model : Caspar Peteus

 

 

 

 

 





Bad boy heir to the Fleming Group empire, Jamie ‘Hawk’ Fleming, at your service. Here’s the breakdown: my father has been thrown behind bars on murder charges, and my mother as accessory. That was three months ago, and since then everything has been a downhill ride.
The only thing keeping me sane right now is Hot Body. Her name is Layla, and all that matters is that she’s gorgeous, sexy, and great in bed.
Until one morning I wake up tied up and gagged, Layla standing over me. Sounds promising, huh? A pretty girl, handcuffs, maybe a whip?
Only the look on her face – and the pissed-off men at her side – tell me she’s not in a kinky mood, or at least, not the pleasant kind…Standalone novel. No cliffhanger.
*Warning: this book contains graphic language, sex, and violence. Mature readers only. Not intended for young readers.*

 

 



“Why are you still here? You should leave. Now, before anyone finds you.”
She stills, then resumes gathering up a bowl and a spoon from the tray. “Not before we talk.”
“We have nothing to talk about. You should go.”
“No.” She shoves the tray away, bowl and cup and all, and gets right in my face. “Why are you doing this? Tell me the truth.”
“You heard everything.”
“Yeah, that you want in a shady organization, that you want your parents’ position. You crave more money, more power.” She waves a hand in the air. “I don’t believe you. Don’t believe any of this. You’re playing at something, something dangerous, and won’t tell me about it.”
“It’s for your own damn good,” I whisper, and fuck, did I say that out loud?
She leans in until we’re nose to nose, and fuck she smells good. “I’m not moving from here unless you tell me what’s going on.”
“No fucking way. You need to leave.” 
“No.” She pulls away, which sucks, and pours water on a napkin. She puts her hand on my face and starts washing it with the napkin, wiping away the filth and dried blood. “Not unless you tell me more about this Organization you want to join.”
Fuck. This is why I’ve never let her get close. I knew something like this might happen.
I reach for her, manage to snag her arm despite the fact every muscle in my body hurts and my head is spinning. “You don’t wanna know about it, girl. Trust me on this.”
“But I do, I do want to know—”
“Have you heard a single word I’ve said? This is dangerous shit, and it has nothing to do with you.” I take a deep breath and force myself to go on, because fuck, my throat hurts, my head is pounding and the possibility of being sick all over her is still in the cards. “You don’t need to be here. There’s nothing between us. I can take care of myself. Just fucking go.”
There’s hurt in her eyes, there and gone in a flash. Which makes me frown. Fuck, that’s not good. She can’t have any expectations from me. 
I tighten my hold on her arm until she winces. “I said go.”
“Fuck you, Hawk.”
“You got a filthy mouth.” And I want it on me, dammit. I jerk her closer to me. “I need you gone. Now.”
“Sucks being you, then. To not get what you want, for a change.”
“I always get what I fucking want.” And she’s pressed against me, soft tits pressed to my chest, soft mouth a breath away, long lashes shielding her eyes, and this is fucked up.
Because what I want is her. Have wanted her since I first saw her, in so many ways.

My Review:

First there was Declan and he was hot, then there was Ash and he hot and a little bit naughty. Heath was ruggard and steamy and then we get Colt. Over the four books he has been an uptight workaholic. That is until he meets chef Caroline and it all goes out the window and Caroline is powerless to resist Colt charms and why would she want to anyway. Colt is a level above his brothers liking things with more 'edge' and by gosh it's hot.
These two go through an adventure and some drama but what doesn't kill you only makes you stronger and in this case that is true.
I am loving this series and the direction it is going. Book 5 is set up in this book and I have a feeling Dom is going to top Colt and if that is the case my eBook might melt.

My Review

I went into this book not really knowing what to expect but I was drawn in by the cover and synopsis and I am so glad I was.
This book is not an easy read, not the writing style but the content. It contains some very graphic scenes involving domestic violence so you will need to brace yourself at times. That being said I went on an emotional ride with the characters and was totally hooked from the start.
There is a lot to like in Fractured Lies. There are lot of side stories that I can't wait to read more about in the next books. There is some great sexual tension and plenty of suspense.
Now fair warning this does end on a cliffhanger that had me going What the.
I would recommend this book for sure and look forward to more from this Author

Elias - Rebecca Sherwin

Title: GRIT Sector 1: Elias

Series: GRIT Sector 1 

Author: Rebecca Sherwin

Genre: Dark Romance

 Release Date: June 14, 2016

Blurb

I thought I was safe.

I FOUGHT TO KEEP THEM ALIVE.

I thought I was good.

THERE WAS NO GOOD LEFT HERE.

I thought I was just a girl.

I WAS MORE THAN JUST A MAN.

I didn't see it coming.

I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT COMING.

Destiny had brought us together.

HISTORY WOULD TEAR US APART.

Twenty-first century London - daytime

Freedom is non-existent.

Self-expression is confined to sunlight hours.

Happiness is on a schedule.

Safety is a temporary fixture.

Twenty-first century London - nighttime.

Blood cascades over cobbled stones.

Criminals emerge from the shadows.

The depraved, the deviant, the morally corrupt, own the streets.

Happiness comes in the form of final breaths.

Safety is found in the shrills of death.

A love story emerges inside the barricades.

A story played out many times before...

But not like this.

It's evolution of tradition.

It's insanity fighting to break the cycle.

It's history's repetition with hope for a better outcome.

Can love survive in a drowning capital?

What if the good guys aren't the good guys?

What if the heroes have become the villains?

Trixie Ashford has been living a lie.

Elias Blackwood has been creating it.

It is their destiny to meet.

It will be their downfall to fall in love...

Trailer

Excerpt

“What is it? What does GRIT mean?”

“Besides the stuff you get in your eye when the wind blows?” Nothing. She refused to fall into comfort beside me. “It doesn’t mean anything. That is kind of the point. I say GRIT, you say ‘what’s that?’ and you wouldn’t be the only one.”

It was ridiculous. I’d asked countless times as a child why we couldn’t give it some meaning if it was something so important it needed to be protected with our lives, but I’d only ever had the acronym separated. Which I would do for Trixie…when we got to our destination.

“Why does it smell wet?” she asked.

“Because it’s wet down here. You’re underground.”

“We’re safe, aren’t we?”

I took a deep breath and pronounced every word with more sincerity than I’d ever displayed. “As long as you’re with me, nothing can hurt you.”

I wanted her to say something. ‘Thank you’ would have sufficed although I didn’t want her to appreciate my need to keep her alive. I wanted her to accept it, but she said nothing, keeping her lips pressed firmly together as another shiver rippled through her.

“We’re here.”

I stopped her with a gentle tug and her thin shoes slid on the cobbles. Reaching over her I held her close, like I had done when we exited the loft, and she slotted into my side like she was meant to be there.

“Where?”

“Here.” I shrugged, intending to show her rather than tell her. “It isn’t nice. None of the things I’m going to teach you will be pretty. Some will hurt, some will confuse, some will question everything you know, and others will test you. They’ll ask you to look deep inside yourself and revaluate everything you hold on your moral compass.” I stroked my thumb over the top of her arm, hoping to warm her up before I threw her into the dark world that was permanently sheeted in ice. “I need you to agree to do this with me. I don’t want you to be here, because I want to protect you. But you need to know the truth and you need to be able to make your own choices…I need you to choose to do this with me.”

“I choose to do it. Just show me, Elias...”
