Taboo Kisses by Gracen Miller BLOG TOUR




WARNING: 

This book is for readers 18 and over, contains explicit sexual content, including, but not limited to, m/m, m/f/m, double penetration, anal play, sex-toy play, sex-fruit play, shifter sex, voyeurism, forced seduction, and anything else I might've forgotten to list!

BLURB:

Taboo Kisses…where desires and inhibitions collide.

Dispatched to the mortal realm from Atlantis to seek the source of a brewing rebellion, Sameya is thrown for a tailspin when she discovers her fated mates. As a siren her songs entice mankind and immortals alike to their death. She’s stunned to be seduced by a taboo union with a tiger-shifter and vampyr. Mating the pair could complicate everything and threaten her freedom. Fueled by her duty to Atlantis, Sameya rejects fate’s wisdom and refutes her attraction to the men.

Taboo Kisses…when the forbidden becomes irresistible.

Gabriel and Maximus have been searching for their mate for centuries. Neither expected the siren they were hired to find would deliver more than a lucrative payday. Frustrated by Sameya’s aversion to their mating, the men anticipate an empty future if she refuses to complete their union. In a rash move Maximus seizes Sameya and holds her captive.

Taboo Kisses…when the siren is serenaded with temptation.

Trapped and at their mercy, Sameya is bombarded with pleasure. Can her mates convince her to take a gamble on their taboo union? With danger lurking in the shadows, will the choice be taken from her?


EXCERPT:

Empress’ delights, she disliked the jumbled way he made her feel. Confused one moment and aroused the next. “What is your name?”

“Call me mate.”

Her breathing died, then escalated. She forced a lame-ass sounding laugh past her lips. “Don’t get cocky. I’m not into leeches.”

“Don’t disqualify me from the running.” He sidled closer, aligning his body against hers once more, but maintaining space with his palms on the mausoleum on either side of her head. “Not when Gabriel and I haven’t had the gratification of making you come…yet.”

She gasped, her eyes rounding at his foregone conclusion. “Better men than you have tried.”

“None of them were your mates.”

“Wait! Mates? As in plural?” She flattened her hands against his chest to push him away, but forgot to add pressure. The hard contours of his body fascinated her more than was practical. “That’s…insane.” But gods the idea fascinated her. “Sirens don’t partner outside our race and we certainly don’t have more than one partner.”

Sameya didn’t realize she spoke the thought aloud until the vampyr thrust both his hands into her hair. After he had her anchored into position, he shifted closer, widening his stride to fit her pelvis between his legs. His hard-on nestled against her abdomen as he tilted her head back by her hair. 

“No more insane than a vampyr mating a shifter.” His mouth landed on hers. He nibbled on her bottom lip, licked the corners and crease. Distracted by the exhilarating sensations, she was unprepared to counteract his move when he placed the pad of his thumb against her chin and tugged, parting her lips for his tongue to thrust inside.

My Review:

*I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.*

I stumbled across the tour sign up for Taboo Kisses, and on a whim, signed up for a review because I liked the cover—without reading the summary. That means I didn’t really know what I was in for.

To my great surprise it turned out to be a paranormal tale; even better, though, it was one with vampyrs. (How cool is Miller’s spelling?!) A shifter and a siren round out the threesome that make our main ‘couple.’

Gabriel and Maximus are an already established pair when the story opens. While they've claimed each other as mates (yes, folks, there is m/m loving in this *fans self*) they've held off holding an official mating ceremony because they know there is a third to their union—a female to help them procreate and complete them.

When their paths finally cross with Sameya’s, no one is more surprised than her. The boys have had years to come to terms with their interspecies mating; however, Sameya never expected to mate, let alone mate outside of her race. She’s a timerelic and a siren, and as such as spent thousands of years protecting the Empress of Atlantis. Independence and being in charge of security are what she knows.

Miller takes the reader on a fast-paced, XXX adventure filled with court conspiracies and learning to love. In my opinion, there is also an underlying moral to the story: you can't choose who or even what you love. True love and emotions aren't governed by gender or race.

If you like the Anita Blake series, then I’m sure you’ll enjoy Taboo Kisses. Just be sure to heed the warnings the author so diligently lists so that you aren’t caught off guard by how kinky and sizzling the content is.

Wicked Surrender by Ambrielle Kirk BLITZ & GIVEAWAY

Blurb: Wicked Surrender

The Beaudelaire is not just a five star hotel critically- acclaimed for satisfying the rich and elite. During New Year's weekend, the hotel becomes the Den of Sin, where all desires and fantasies come to life.

To indulge in your most wicked desires….
After kicking her cheating ex-boyfriend to the curb, Kris Delacourt became celibate. Her grudge against the opposite sex has rendered her love life non-existent. The one thing that hasn’t been reduced is her sexual appetite. Kris is tired of spending her nights playing with hard plastic and silicone. She wants a real man. Spending a night at the Den of Sin sounds like the kick start she desperately needs. She doesn’t expect to meet one of the World’s Most Eligible Bachelors there. This isn’t the first time she’s met Travis Brenden, but it seems he doesn’t even remember her.

…would you surrender control?
Travis Brenden is a man who treasures being in control and he relinquishes it for no one. An invite to an exclusive event leads him to cross paths with a woman who seduces him with one innocent glance and erupts a torrid desire deep inside him. He dubs her the Temptress. Within the Den of Sin, he can indulge without the high expectations that come with his social status. Yet, something about this temptress jogs his memory to no end and while he’s with her his control begins to slip.

Excerpt: Wicked Surrender

Travis followed his temptress to the opposite end of the ballroom, where she stopped in front of the floor legend. He paused in his pursuit as well and stood several feet behind her. All he could do was stare, wondering why he felt like a young dude still wet behind the ears and running after his first piece of tail. The last time he’d drooled at the mouth over a woman was back in high school.
She tilted her head to the side as if checking to see if he was behind her. If that was in fact her purpose she turned it quickly again, averting her attention to the hotel legend.
What was he waiting for? He’d arrived here just for this reason. To indulge his fantasies at the Den of Sin. He approached her, although she did not immediately look up from the diagram on the podium labeling every level and every main area of kink.
Finally she turned making direct eye contact. She pursed her lips as she observed him. Her brows nearly came together again as she appeared deep in thought.
“Am I in your way?” she asked calmly.
Her voice was beautiful and he could have sworn he’d heard it before.
“Not at all.” He smiled. “Don’t I know you from somewhere?”
She blushed and looked away shyly. “I don’t think so.”
“I’d like to know you.” He gestured to the legend with his hand. “Which floor were you headed to?”
“I’m not interested in a ménage,” she said, quickly.
“Excuse me?”
“I saw you. I’m not headed to your level.”
He chuckled softly. “Then how about I head to yours?”
She smiled and her face brightened up. “Only if you can guess which one that is…”
“I’d rather not take a wild guess.” Travis held out his hand. “Can I buy some clues?”

Veiled by L. Chapman BLOG TOUR

And lets not forget one hell of a Hen Party For Jenny her life as the perfect wife is all she has ever wanted but secrets are never far away...

EXCERPT:  

I finish preparing dinner, shower, and paint my nails a red colour all before Rich returns from work. For the first time in ages, I even manage to shave everywhere without cutting myself. My biggest fear is just before the wedding I’m going to cut my legs while shaving. I have thought of waxing, but I don’t think I can cope with the pain. I know people say that pain is just part of looking beautiful, but I’m not so sure about that one. I made a speech prior to booking the wedding date that there would be no sex the week before we get married. I want our wedding night to be special. 

Now, I think I will be struggling with this decision. I plan to make sure I get plenty before our wedding week begins. I am wearing Rich’s favourite little black halter dress that barely covers my bum and shows just enough of my cheeks to drive him wild. He loves it. I have been a little bit naughty.

Mountain Charm by Sydney Logan BLOG TOUR




Title: Mountain Charm
Author: Sydney Logan
Genre: New Adult/ Supernatural
Release Date: July 2nd 2013





Synopsis: 

At the age of thirteen, Angelina Clark followed in the footsteps of her ancestors by casting an Appalachian love spell, which promised she would blossom into a beautiful and gifted woman who would find her true love. A young Angelina had been thrilled to participate in the sacred ritual, but through the years, her father’s untimely death and her mother’s failing health have shaken Angelina’s magical faith to its core. As her twenty-first birthday approaches, she refuses to practice her supernatural gifts and no longer believes in the love charm.

That is, until Dylan Thomas arrives on her front porch.

Dylan, a Nashville writer, travels to the mountain town of Maple Ridge to unearth the family’s supernatural secrets. While her clairvoyant mother is convinced that Dylan is her daughter’s soul mate, Angelina refuses to see the nosy reporter as anything more than a nuisance.

Despite their constant bickering, sparks fly.

Dylan admits he feels strangely drawn to Angelina and is in no hurry to leave Maple Ridge or publish his magazine article. Fearful that his emotions are being influenced by the spell, a stubborn Angelina struggles to fight her own budding attraction to the reporter.

The two inevitably grow closer just as her mother’s health begins to deteriorate, and Angelina is faced with the possibility of selling the family’s music shop to pay the mounting medical expenses. Desperate to help the woman he loves, Dylan explores his own family tree and finds support from an unlikely source. Can he finally prove his love is real—spell or no spell?

A story filled with love, friendship, family, and just a hint of Appalachian magic, Mountain Charm will leave you spellbound.




Interview with Ms. Logan!


If you were given a chance, would you enter Big Brother?

I love Big Brother! But I would not want to enter the house. Those live feeds show EVERYTHING. I’m way too private for that.

Do you like dogs or cats?

I like both, but we only have a cat. His name is Gus and he is the most spoiled feline on the planet. He recently went through a phase where he wouldn’t sit anywhere except on the kitchen island. He only jumped down to eat, drink, and use the litter box. We thought we were going to have to put him on Kitty Prozac.

 If I came to your home and looked inside the refrigerator, what would I find?

Half a cheesecake, Coke, Diet Mountain Dew, and a carton of milk that expired weeks ago. Don’t judge! I have a looming deadline.

What's your bad quality?

I’m a people-pleaser, which can be a nice quality, but not when you drive yourself crazy, and that’s what I tend to do. I’m working on finding a happy medium with it.

Which is the one television character that you simply adore?

Leonard (Johnny Galecki) from The Big Bang Theory! He’s a nerd, but he’s also relatable. I love Sheldon, too, but he and I couldn’t have a conversation.

What kind of music do you like?

On my iTunes, you’ll find country, folk, rock, 70s, 80s, 90s, hip-hop and even some rap (by Eminem). I love Adele, Johnny Cash, Mumford and Sons, Fun, Pink, Imagine Dragons, Miranda Lambert, and Lorde. Just a few weeks ago, I downloaded my first One Direction song. Can you tell I love music? 



If given a chance to skip work for a day, how would you spend the entire day?

Writing or reading. I’m so boring.

Are you a morning person or a night person?

Night, definitely. I am not a happy camper in the morning.

Which is your most favorite place in this earth?

My house. Again, so boring, but it’s the truth. We have a little cabin in the woods and we’re pretty secluded, but not so secluded that we don’t have Wi-Fi. J We have a wrap-around porch and nobody bothers us. It’s my idea of heaven.

If you were stranded on a lonely beach, what are the five things that you would want to survive?


My husband, my iPhone, food, fresh water, and a boat. J

Excerpt:

“It’s your birthday?” Dylan asked.

“Yes, and it was blissfully uneventful until you showed up.”

“Beautiful and infuriating,” Dylan muttered. “Look, Angelina, I was just given this assignment yesterday. I don’t have a clue about Appalachian magic tricks or devil-worshipping or whatever it is you do up in these mountains, but I have a story to write. Just let me interview you and your mom, and I’ll be back on the interstate before you can say abracadabra.

Instead of pointing out just how ignorant he sounded, Angelina decided what he truly needed was a strong dose of fear.

“Actually, I do have something you need to see. A family heirloom. Wait here?”

Excited for any useful information, Dylan’s eyes lit up and he nodded enthusiastically. Once again, those good manners kicked in, and Dylan opened the door for her. 

Angelina raced inside the house. She hadn’t touched it in years, but she still remembered where her father kept the key to the case. She grabbed what she needed and quickly made her way back out to the porch, letting the screen door slam behind her.

Dylan jumped out of his chair. “What the hell?”

Angelina lifted the rifle and pointed it straight at him. He didn’t need to know the safety was on—or that the chamber was empty.

“This is a Remington, passed down from my father and his father, also known as an Appalachian magic wand. Just watch. It’s going to make you disappear.”

Angelina thought it was almost comical, hearing him curse and watching him leap off the porch. All the commotion caused her dog to chase after him, which only made Dylan sprint faster until he reached the sanctuary of his vehicle.

“Are you insane?” Dylan yelled.

“I tend to get a little crazy when someone trespasses on my property. Leave my family alone and don’t come back!”

He slammed the door and had to do some fancy maneuvering to get around her car, but within seconds, the only sounds Angelina could hear were Dylan’s squealing tires, her dog’s noisy bark, and her mother’s hearty laughter.

Summary

Forced to flee her father's brutal heir, Anneliese Barlow masquerades as Lisa Brown, a servant, in the grand country mansion of the Duke of Worthington. Facing danger at every turn, she discovers the life of gentility she had known was a virtual fairytale, reality a dark and forbidding place.
Captivated by the beautiful maid, Lord Marsden decides the only way to keep her safe—and close—is by offering her his protection. With all hopes of returning to her previous station lost, Lisa surrenders her virtue to the man she has come to love. Finding unexpected passion in Nathaniel’s arms, her senses are awakened to a world of sensuality she had not known existed . . . a world not without grave risks.
If her identity is uncovered, Lisa’s innocence won’t be the only thing that’s lost.

Reviews

Lindsey Gray - Author on Author Book Review
This novel seems more like that of a seasoned historical romance novelist than a debut. The knowledge of the time period and customs is breathtakingly accurate. Ms. de Sallier’s portrayal of Lisa and her struggle to understand the world that was taking shape around her was brilliant and a thrill to experience. All the differences between Nathaniel and Lisa are quite evident from the start, but Ms. de Sallier’s depiction of their attraction and intimacy make them perfect for each other. I devoured the 313-page copy I received in one day. I don’t even recall the last time I enjoyed reading a book of that length and read so incredibly fast. I highly recommend this book to any historical romance lover. If you enjoy the novels of Rose Gordon or Christine Merrill, Innocence should be the next book on your to be read list. (Excerpt)

Candace Smith Goodreads 
I could not put this book down. Innocence was well written and engaging. I enjoyed the mystery, suspense, and hot love scenes that are not in many historical romance novels. Great start to a new series. Highly recommended.

Andrea Whittle, Penny Dreadful Book Reviews
From it’s elegantly designed cover to its superb writing, Innocence is a skillfully constructed Regency. It is so convincing in its historical guise that I was shocked when I read that it originated as a Twilight non-canon fan fiction.
