Tessa Bailey's Dirty Talkers!
The Queen of Dirty Talking is back! Whether this is your first experience with Tessa Bailey’s dirty talking heroes or you’ve been following her all along, you don’t want to miss out on meeting Brent and Hayden. Their banter is witty, filled with sexual tension, and the sex itself is “fan-your-face” hot, according to an early review from USA Today Happily Ever After.
Here’s a dirty talking snippet just for you guys:
He leaned forward and spoke right against her ear. “Come for me right now and I’ll let you ride me as hard as you want later. I know what gets you off. I saw it in your eyes last night. You want to throw me down and fuck me, duchess? Good. I’m in the mood to let you.”
Brent Mason and Hayden Winstead can't stand each other. She plans exclusive parties for her rich family’s charities. He’s a rough and tumble cop who rigs explosives for a living. Could two people be any less suited for conversation? They think not and prefer to keep it that way.
Unfortunately, their two best friends are deeply, disgustingly in love. Forced together, the mutual attraction simmering beneath the surface of Brent and Hayden’s non-relationship grows with every argument until it explodes into a scintillating night of mind-blowing sex. And it won’t be the last, as far as Brent’s concerned.
Hayden has a secret, though. Her father’s company is relying on a merger to save them from financial ruin, and only Hayden’s marriage to the CEO’s wealthy son can secure the deal. If she’s to protect her family, she’ll have to forget Brent. And he has no intention of being forgotten.
In celebration of her new release, Tessa Bailey’s first book Protecting What’s His is on sale for only ¢99 for two full weeks! (11/24 - 12/7) Just in time to gift it to everyone who appreciates a dirty talker.
Protecting What's His
She’s running from the law, and the law wants her bad.
The opportunity was just too damn delicious for Ginger Peet to pass up. The purse full of money she finds—$50,000 to be exact—could give her and her teen sister the new start they need. So she grabs the cash, her gothy sibling, and their life-sized statue of Dolly Parton, and blows outta Nashville in a cloud of dust. Chicago, here we come...
Turns out, Chicago has some pretty hot cops. Hot, intense, naughty-lookin’ cops like Derek Tyler, who looks like he could eat a girl up and leave her begging for more. And more. Tempting as he is, getting involved with the sexy homicide lieutenant next door poses a teensy problem for a gal who’s on the lam. But one thing is certain—Derek’s onto her, and he wants more than just a taste.
And as far as he’s concerned, possession is nine-tenths of the law.

Review: Dirty Trick by Christine Bell
Title: Dirty Trick
Series: Perfectly Matched #1
Author: Christine Bell
Published: September 23, 2013 - Entangled Brazen
Format: Ebook received for review
Grace Love is lousy with men. She can spot a match for someone else a mile away, and her balls-on instincts are why her matchmaking business is thriving, but finding her own Prince Charming? The only guy who makes her sixth sense tingle is her playboy best friend, Trick, and no way is she risking their friendship, no matter how hot she knows the sex will be.
SWAT officer Trick Matthews is a patient guy, but Grace’s inability to see what’s right in front of her is grinding on his last nerve. Yeah, he blew his shot at breaking out of the friend zone when he tamped down the urge to lick her from head to toe the day they met, but he’s got a plan that’ll change her mind. Incognito at Salem's hottest Halloween party, he’ll show her exactly how good they could be…and that he’s the man for her.
This was my first book from Christine Bell, and I have to say – I liked it. Her writing grabbed me and put me right in the story. I couldn’t wait to open the book back up each time I had an opportunity.
Let’s start with the characters, shall we? Our heroine is Grace Love, and she runs a matchmaking business with her friend, Serena. Grace has a bad relationship in her past. He’s a real douchebag, and I’m not even going to name him. Ha! Take that, douchebag. Anyway, he did a real number on her self-esteem. So here she is now, all this time later, afraid of being the woman she really is. And it’s a real shame, because the real woman she is is intelligent, funny, provocative, and sexy. And Trick sees that right away.
Trick, oh what a name. Ok, it’s short for Patrick, but you forget that soon enough. Trick has it bad for his best friend, Grace. And he knows that she has her heart behind a wall. But then fate steps in and he has a chance to help chip those walls down, under disguise of course. Trick is SWAT, and oh my goodness, we know how I love a man with power!! He is sexy as hell, and he’s got the boots to back it up.
Halloween – I’ve always said it’s the time for lovers. We get to wear our sexiest clothes and let the people we are on the in inside be on our outsides. It’s the most honest time of year, ya know? We can hide behind a mask and pretend our actual actions are due to our costumes. I love it! And Trick has a movie-grade cat mask, and he is every bit the hunter. Sure, what Trick does isn’t completely on the up and up, but when your heart and dick make the decisions where your brain should have some input, these things can happen!
I really enjoyed Dirty Trick. The mystery and intrigue, well, for Grace anyway, made it a bit exciting. The backdrop of Salem during Halloween gave it all a bit of a fun and mischievous flair. Trick… well Trick can be my Catman any time he wants. The heat level was more about quality than quantity. You can count the number of nookie moments on one hand –but ladies, they are oh so imaginative. Trick definitely has some sexy-ass tricks up his sleeve.
Guilt pricked him hard, and he swiped a hand over his face. It was going to be bad. And he deserved that. But if he led with the truth – that he was fucking madly and completely in love with her – maybe she would find it in her huge heart to forgive him. And hopefully it would happen sooner than later.
Oh, and the best part? No, not necessarily the HEA, although we all lust for those. But Trick gives a speech during this book that will make you melt. Couple that with his luxurious kisses, and you can call me down for the count!

Review/Giveaway: Under The Covers by Rebecca Zanetti
Title: Under The Covers
Series: Maverick Montana #2
Author: Rebecca Zanetti
Published: May 2013, Entangled Brazen
Format: Ebook received for review
Opposites don’t attract. They ignite.
The small Montana town near the Kooskia reserve seemed like the perfect place for Juliet Montgomery to hide from her not-so-law-abiding family. But when her peace is shattered by a break-in and threatening phone calls, it’s clear someone back in New York knows where she is. It’s time to plan her getaway, and fast—but first, she needs to tie up a few loose ends. Namely, finding out exactly what the town’s sexy cowboy sheriff is hiding in his holster...
Sheriff Quinn Lodge has enough demons of his own to know when someone’s hiding something. Clearly, he needs to do a thorough investigation to uncover what’s beneath Juliet’s uptight, city-girl exterior—preferably one piece of clothing at a time. But when their chemistry goes from fizzy to full-on explosive, things start getting complicated. How can Juliet stay beneath the covers with Quinn, when doing so means blowing her cover?
In the beginning of Under The Covers, I was a bit confused. The first scene had me wondering what was happening, and I never really did figure it out for sure. But I do know that in the very first scene there was sexual heat and tension, begging to be unwrapped like the most sparkly present under the tree.
This is the story of Juliet and Quinn. Quinn has been asking Juliet out for quite some time, and when an opportunity arises to make her his pretend girlfriend, he jumps at the chance. This wasn’t something that was followed to closely through the story, which disappointed me a bit. However, it totally made up for it in sincere emotions between the two people that didn’t require a fake romance.
Juliet is a woman of secrets, and Quinn is determined to know her inside and out. I really loved his perseverance in getting that goal. When it was still at the point where I didn’t know what Juliet’s secrets were, I was hoping they were actually something substantial enough to require the lying she was doing. You’ll have to make that determination for yourself. All I can say is that her secrets come back to bite her, and it definitely leads to some tense moments.
While I wasn’t sure I was quite on board with this story in the beginning, it didn’t take long before I decided I was all in. I would have liked more detail, some more fleshing out of some certain scenes, but overall the pace was quick and the action was great – both in the bedroom and out. The characters that you are supposed to like, I did. And for the characters that you are supposed to not like, I really didn’t. Did that statement make sense? Haha. There were some really funny scenes, I thought. I especially liked one where Juliet is alone at Quinn’s house, and she gets some unexpected visitors. Trust me, you will definitely get a giggle out of it. And then there is the sexy....
“Juliet,” he drawled while carrying her through the room and up the stairs, “I have handcuffs.”
She breathed out a combination of heat and humor. “Sounds like a threat.”
“Oh no, darlin’.” He set her on the bed. “I don’t threaten. Ever.”
“Really? What was that statement?”
“A promise.” He unclasped his jeans and dropped them to the floor. “I’ll take a little teasing from you, beautiful. But you cross me? I’ll cuff you and make you beg.”
Ok, let’s talk about the heat. Quinn is a big man (in many ways...ahem). A big Native American man, of the Kooskia reserve. He’s the sheriff. And he is a bit dominating and controlling. Have I got your attention yet? I thought so. Yeah – me too. And then you have Juliet, an Irish woman with red hair, who is desperately trying to keep her secrets hidden, while trying to keep herself for falling for this man who she has obviously already fallen for. She gets this high society air about her when she gets defensive or secretive, and I thought it really was kind of funny at times - a nice injection of humor. But what I really liked is that Quinn saw right through it – every time. The man just gets her, and in getting her, he got me. There is nothing I love more than seeing a hero know for certain that his heroine is something special, and that he knows her in ways she doesn’t even know herself. And when these two get together you will see nothing less than fireworks.
If you are looking for a quick read, I absolutely recommend this. I hadn’t read the first book, and it had me a bit lost in the beginning. So you might want to pick that up. But if you decide to jump right into this story, I don’t think it would put you off too much. There are some really terrific secondary characters that I’m guessing will get their own books in the future, and I can’t wait for that. But as for this book, I’d definitely put it on your TBR.

South of Surrender
Laura Kaye
She’s the only one who can see through his golden boy façade to the broken god within…
Chrysander Notos, Supreme God of the South Wind and Summer, is on a mission: save Eurus from his death sentence and prove his troubled brother can be redeemed.

Laney Summerlyn refuses to give up her grandfather’s horse farm, despite her deteriorating vision. More than ever, she needs the organized routine of her life at Summerlyn Stables, until a ferocious storm brings an impossible—and beautiful—creature crashing down from the heavens.
Injured while fighting Eurus, Chrys finds himself at the mercy of a mortal woman whose compassion and acceptance he can’t resist.

I am thrilled to welcome Chrysander Notos to the world today! Chrys is the hero of South of Surrender, the third book in my Greek-mythology inspired Hearts of the Anemoi series. The Anemoi were wind gods the Greeks associated with controlling the wind, the weather, and the seasons, and as the summer god, Chrys is the hottest of them all! Need more proof? Check out this hot excerpt and the giveaway that follows!
-Laura Kaye
EXCERPT
Unable to resist the draw to her any longer, Chrys claimed her mouth, devouring, searching, taking.
Laney froze, then was right there with him.
Their tongues met, dueled, twirled. He fisted his hand in her hair and guided her, deepening when he wanted, restraining her when he needed.
Her hands slid up his chest toward his neck.
Chrys gasped into the kiss, but fought the reflexive desire to pull away. Instead, he pushed her back one step, then another, until her back encountered the door. He grabbed her arms and pressed them to the surface over her head. The control flooded relief through him and fueled his arousal another notch.
“I want to touch you,” she whispered around a kiss.
His brain scrambled for a moment, and then he wedged his body in tighter, the ridge of his cock coming in snug against her belly. She unleashed a strangled moan as Chrys plundered her mouth, relished her sweet taste, bathed in her life-giving heat.
Good gods, her body was absolutely alive with her arousal. She clenched and unclenched her hands, her arm muscles flexing where he restrained her. Her abdomen writhed against his, creating a maddening friction against his erection. Her thighs shifted and squeezed.
It was only with the barest of restraint that he resisted willing her clothing away, turning her to face the wall, and tugging her hips out so he could bury himself deep.
Lost in the imagery, Chrys didn’t notice the change in her movements until she slowly dragged her injured leg up the outside of his. Her wrists pressed against his hold and a yearning moan worked up her throat. “Chrys,” she whimpered, her thigh moving higher and wrapping around.
His pulse lunged into a sprint. Damnit. He pulled back and stepped away, the phantom feeling of her flesh trapping his spiking fear through him. “I’m sorry,” he said, rubbing his lips, regret a rock in his stomach. He could still feel her, taste her. Making sure she was steady on her feet, he dropped his hands from holding hers.

Review: Rules of Entanglement by Gina L Maxwell
Title: Rules of Entanglement
Series: Fighting For Love #2
Author: Gina L. Maxwell
Published: March 2013, Entangled Publishing (Brazen)
Format: Ebook provided for review
Tour: No
Seven days. And seven rules to break...
District Attorney Vanessa McGregor firmly believes that structure and order are the stuff that dreams are made of. Happiness can be planned - and it starts with seven rules she's laid out for her future. But as she's organizing her best friend's wedding in Hawaii, all of Vanessa's best-laid plans are about to meet their match in a wickedly hot MMA fighter...
Jackson "Jax" Maris is focused on surfing, training and fighting. That is, until he opens up his big mouth, and finds himself having to pretend he's engaged to his little sister's best friend, Vanessa. When they're force to share a romantic bungalow, however, their little charade suddenly takes a turn for the seriously sexy. And while Jax is definitely not part of Vanessa's long-term plan, he has seven days - and seven naughty nights - to turn her seven-rule plan upside down.
This book opens up with “Vanessa MacGregor’s ‘Lucky 7’ Rules To Live By”. Pretty cool opening, if you ask me. And actually, it really appealed to the list-maker within, instantly creating an affinity with Vanessa. On top of that, the rules are pretty damn good rules, I took a picture to keep in my phone. Lame? I think not. But you will have to read the book to find out what they are. But they generally deal with common sense, which we all lose from time to time, when dealing with the opposite sex.
And speaking of the opposite sex, I can’t let this review go a moment more without mentioning Jax. Tall, dark, sexy as all hell, champion MMA fighter, and he calls Vanessa “Princess” (among many other humorous and thoughtful things!). He is all man, and definitely one of those guys you just love to read about. A bit mysterious, a bit smart ass, and well, you know...sexy.
Vanessa has just arrived in Hawaii to help prepare for her best friend’s wedding. Lucie is ill and can’t travel. By the way, Lucie is marrying Reid, and they are the couple from book one, Seducing Cinderella. I have it from a couple reliable sources that the first book is every bit as good as this book – so I immediately purchased a copy for myself and I am anxiously awaiting my first opportunity to read it! But back to Jax and Vanessa. Jax is going to be Vanessa’s liaison, if you will, while she is in Hawaii. But as soon as he meets the spitfire that she is, his mouth runs away with him and he tells her that they must pretend to be Reid and Lucie while they settle up the wedding plans. I don’t know about you, but this sounds hilarious and I would love to see this play out on the silver screen. You have a beautiful backdrop of Hawaii, the “you make my insides melt” Jax, and Vanessa, who is a spark waiting to turn into a fire. Sounds great, eh?
This book is hard hitting as far as the fun goes, and it didn’t let up. Every page was a treat. Right from a sexy game of drinking Patrón shots, to dancing in the bar, to dealing with the flamboyant wedding planner. It doesn’t matter that Vanessa is sure that Jax is bad news, with his laid back attitude and tattoos covering his tanned, toned, well sculpted, big ol giant….. whew. Oh muscles, yes, I meant his tattoo covered muscles. Sorry, I got lost there for a moment. *wink!*
There is a lot more than meets the eye with both of these characters, and that’s what I like. They have secrets and pasts that weren’t always pleasant. They’ve travelled a hard road and somehow they have managed to come out the other side pretty ok. And now they are in front of each other. You get to see Jax throw some punches; he is a MMA fighter, afterall. And there are some curl your toes scenes that will… well, curl your toes. I just jumped right into this series, at book number two. I didn’t feel like I was lost, I felt like it could stand alone. I fell in love with the whole story immediately, and I don’t doubt you will either!
So how about you? Have you read any books in the Fighting For Love series? Are you going to?
