Excerpt Reveal Riccick by Kathy Coopmans

RIDDICK_EXCERPT.jpg
Excerpt
You realize we’ve never been on a date?”  He smirks at me, and my stomach flutters. Riddick is right, we haven’t. We couldn’t go out in public when we were younger since we were forbidden. And now we can; we can do anything we want. Go anywhere. Simply just be. It’s as if time has frozen for one split second. A conversation similar to this one pops into my mind. He said the same thing to me once. How he wished we could go out, be seen. Tell the entire town that in spite of the rumors of his father killing my parents, we were two teenagers in love; and if we could overcome it, then they as adults should as well. We were never given that chance.
“Oh. Does this mean you’re asking me out? I mean, I’ve already proven I’ll give you whatever you want, so dating is irrelevant at this point, don’t you think?” He groans, lifts me up and over him. His hardness is pressing into my stomach. I lay my hands on his chest, my eyes fluttering to render my innocence.
“Temptation got you fucked last night. Don’t tempt me, my naughty little angel. I’ll fuck you until the only choice you have to get out of this bed is to crawl. So, yes, I’m asking you out. Just me and you.”
“Okay. Where will we be going?” I agree. My insides are dancing and jiggling about as I watch him reach up and stretch his arms above his head before bringing them down to grab my ass. I sigh. I fizzle, and I may internally blow up with the detonator button being my clit.
“You’ll see,” he utters. Voice stating it’s a secret. Whatever. I’ll go wherever he wants me to go as long as we’re together.
“Tell me about these?” I coax those words out with ease as I outline the spider web tattoo around one of his nipples. He laughs. I scowl.
“I’m serious. Do any of them have a special meaning?” I ask seriously this time. “I bet I could get off just by standing in the shower watching you wash these.” I trot on seductively.
“Same goes for me with watching you arch your back, your mouth-watering tits with those pink nipples begging me to suck them as you wash your hair.” He lifts his hand, tugs my hair out of the confines of the band, and pulls so that my neck is exposed.

Blurb
She told me Heaven would knock on my door one day.
That I would be swept away from the hell I lived in.
She was right about one thing and so wrong about the other.
Heaven came in the form of an angel just like she said.
Beautiful.
Perfect.
An angel.
And then.
My life became hell.
She disappeared. Vanished.
I left. Went to war. Killed. All for her.
Every face was the man who took her.
Every dream filled with her.
For twelve years I existed in hell. Breathed in the fires from down below.
Until her, the woman on the beach outside of my home.
Captivating.
Enchanting.
Mesmerizing.
It couldn't be my Cora, my angel, my heaven on earth.
She was dead.
Wasn't she?

New Release - The Complete Down Under Boxset by S.M Phillips



Come join the Facebook release party here

The complete Down Under boxset includes

two NEW &
EXCLUSIVE novellas

Christmas Down Under & Loving You Down Under



  
Amazon UK - https://goo.gl/SnwDtv
Amazon US - https://goo.gl/ftdalT

For Jess Townsend, life is about to get complicated.
Following on from her split with Josh two months ago, Jess has thrown herself into her work full throttle, making sure that the one good thing in her life remains the same.
Suddenly she is called into an important meeting at work. Absolutely petrified that she is about to lose her job, she does the only thing she knows how. Panic on the inside and walk through it with her head held high on the outside.
Jess soon discovers she is being offered a once in a lifetime opportunity, but will she take it?
After dealing with an ex who can't let go and a broody mysterious Adonis who won't accept no for an answer, maybe the opportunity of an escape has arrived at the perfect time.
What does fate have in store and what obstacles will be thrown her way?





"F**k." I slam my fist into the desk before me and feel nothing but rage. I need to go after her. I need to explain. "But isn't this what you wanted?" The voice inside my head whispers. "Isn't this a nice easy way out?"

Everything Max has done has always been at a cost to others around him. He wasn't about to make that mistake again. No longer will his selfish ways punish those close to him. Sometimes it's better to have had and lost than to never have had at all.
Finally after what felt like forever, Jess was getting a glimpse of control over her life again and allowed her defences to come crashing down, only to have what it guarded to be crushed once again. Now, on the other side of the world away from her friends, she doesn't know what to do.
Should she stay or should she go?
Is it too late or have they both fallen too far into something that is completely out of their depths?


  
In the last few months, Jess has been faced with more obstacles than she ever thought possible. Heartbreak, loss and betrayal to name just a few. Will her drama fueled life finally settle into the happy, care free one that she deserves or is someone hiding and waiting for the perfect opportunity to ruin it all?

Life for Max hasn't exactly been plain sailing either. Now that he finally has someone in his life that means more to him than anything he has ever known, one thing is for certain, he's not going to let anyone get in the way of his new found happiness, no matter what the cost.

Demons are released, pasts are exposed and their future together is only what they make of it.



S.M Phillips is a fun loving mum from Manchester. When she’s not busy writing, you’ll most likely find her head buried deep inside her kindle with a cup of coffee in hand. Talk to her when she’s reading and things could get pretty colourful, pretty fast, just ask her Hubby.
She is a lover of chocolate, especially if it has peanut butter inside and loves a good cocktail or two. She often wonders if she should spend more time buying shoes, but then she remembers her never ending TBR list and realises that money can be spent on more important things… Books.

New Release - A Harmless Little Ruse by Meli Raine


Out Now! - A Harmless Little Ruse (The Harmless Series) by Meli Raine (@meliraineauthor)

Release date: November 18, 2016
Genre: Romantic Suspense, Political Thriller

Description:

She has no idea what she’s doing. Loose cannons never hit their targets.

And they take out plenty of collateral damage.

Four years ago Lindsay experienced the unspeakable right before me, and I couldn’t stop them.

But that’s all changed now.

When her father, Senator Bosworth, contacted me to ask — demand — that I protect her, it was a second chance. A shot at redemption.

An opportunity to right an unspeakable wrong.

Controlling Lindsay as she seeks her revenge on the monsters who hurt her won’t be hard.

Containing my own out-of-control feelings for Lindsay and keeping up this ruse of cold-blooded distance will be.

Even harder than admitting to her what really happened that night four years ago.

It turns out I don’t have to, though.

Someone else did it for me.

And I’ll make sure they regret it.
* * *

A Harmless Little Ruse is the second in this political thriller/romantic suspense trilogy by USA Today bestselling author Meli Raine. This series includes:

A Harmless Little Game (Now available)
A Harmless Little Plan (release date December 13, 2016)

Excerpt


Lindsay sits on her bed, pretending to read on her phone. Her long blond hair is pulled back in a ponytail, eyes hard, mouth tight.
She looks like her mother.
The whole pretending-to-be-bored schtick makes her seem even more like Monica.
Except Monica really is bored most of the time.
Every few seconds, Lindsay’s tongue pokes out to lick the tiny split in her lip. It’s healing slowly from the car accident. God, that was just a few days ago, wasn’t it? Time telescoped the second the helicopter landed on that island five days ago, when I checked her out and brought her back to her real life.
Paulson’s standing near the door, taking it all in, silent. Gentian’s nervous, primed for emergency where one no longer exists.
This is my tactical team. This.
I couldn’t ask for better people.
“Is this going to take long? I’m hungry,” Lindsay whines.
I roll my eyes.
“Should have thought about that before you decided to skip out on us and nearly create an international scandal.”
“I aim to please,” she says with a smirk, not looking up from her screen.
It’s all an act. She knows it, I know it, and Paulson definitely knows it. He frowns, giving me a look that asks, Fill me in later?
I nod.
“Lindsay’s attackers have been texting her. Started during or right after the car was tampered with.”

The Billionaire and the Wild Man by Lucy Felthouse and Victoria Blisse

 

Blurb:
Flynn Gifford is enjoying a simple existence in a rural Derbyshire village when Caroline Rogers crashes into his life, barefoot and panicked.
Their lives could hardly be more different—she owns a successful luxury hotel chain, and he’s a penniless nomad who’s off the grid—yet neither can deny the attraction that burns between them. As Caroline reluctantly starts to open up to him, Flynn finds himself divulging some secrets of his own, secrets he thought he’d take to his grave.
But can a billionaire and a wild man ever make a relationship work, or will their secrets keep them apart?

Excerpt:
Finally, I check the towel is still securely in place and head downstairs in search of Carrie. I’ve left the foam and razor in the bathroom for now. I can go back and get them when I’m dressed. I don’t really want to carry a sharp item around when I’m wearing nothing but terrycloth. One slip and I could do myself some real damage. The thought makes me wince.
Carrie?” I say quietly, aware that her mother could have come home early. Or, given she’s a control freak, popped home at random to make sure her daughter isn’t misbehaving. “Carrie?” I repeat, a little louder.
In here,” comes a voice. Sounds like she’s in the kitchen. I head there, and sure enough, she’s standing at the stove, stirring something in a saucepan. It smells good.
I hope you don’t mind,” she says, glancing over her shoulder at me, “but I thought better of going to the pub. It seems everyone in this godforsaken village knows my business, and if I’m seen with you, the news will get back to my mum before our bums even hit the seats. And, before you get the wrong idea, I don’t mean that I’m embarrassed to be seen with you. I just don’t want anyone knowing my business, who I’m spending time with. I’d feel the same if I was stepping out with Benedict Cumberbatch.”
I haven’t got the faintest idea who this Bendybum Cabbagepatch is, but I’m glad she said that, because I was starting to get the wrong idea. If I wasn’t mostly naked, I’d have considered walking out. Instead, I shrug. “It’s okay, I understand. It can’t be nice to be in your situation and have everyone know about it, whether you want them to or not. Don’t worry about it. Am I gonna be able to get dressed before we eat?”
Pausing her stirring momentarily, she steps away from the cooker and over to the washing machine. “Looks as though this’ll be done in a few minutes—good job you put it on a quick wash—and then I’ll stick ‘em in the tumble drier. So probably not. It’s only soup I’ve got heating, so it won’t take long. You’ll just have to be careful.”
She grins at me, her gaze flicking momentarily down to the area covered by the towel. Which, I realize, isn’t as much as I’d hoped. On a smaller guy, the white material would reach down to the knee area. On me, it’s way farther up my thigh than is decent. If Carrie’s mother walks in now, I’m going to give her a heart attack.
I’ll be careful,” I say tightly, resisting the temptation to tug at the towel. I’ll only end up pulling the damn thing off altogether, and that will definitely not give the right impression.
Okay,” she says brightly, moving back to her task. “Could you get the bowls and spoons, please? I’ve already put mats out on the table.”
On instinct, I look at the table, then back at Carrie. All I see is the back of her, her glossy hair, a little messy from her tough day, waist nipping in just right and flaring back out to perfectly proportioned hips and luscious bottom…
Yep!” I say, too hastily, moving over and pressing myself against the cupboards to her right before I get a suspicious tent in the material covering my crotch. Damn it, so much for not doing anything sexual. The woman’s given me two hard-ons in half an hour. “Where are they?”
Fortunately, she doesn’t glance up from what she’s doing, merely points. “Spoons in there. And bowls up there.”
No problem.” I set about the task quickly, then sit down at the table and continue watching her, my groin area now happily hidden beneath the table. “It smells great.”
Thanks, but I can’t take credit. It’s just chicken soup, out of a tin. We don’t even have any bread to go with it, I’m afraid. If I’d known, I’d have gotten some from the shop.”
Hey, don’t worry. I’m very grateful for what you’re doing, really I am. All I had to look forward to was a freeze-dried meal. So hot soup’s very civilized. Practically gourmet.”
Freeze-dried?” She turns to me, saucepan in hand. “You mean one of those plastic bags you pour hot water into?” Her expression makes it perfectly clear what she thinks about that.
Yes,” I reply, smiling gratefully as she pours the soup into my bowl. “Thank you. They’re not that bad, though. I’ve had worse.”
Really?” She’s filled her own bowl now, put the saucepan in the sink and taken her place at the table. “Where at? McDonald’s?” Grinning, she picks up her spoon. We continue our conversation in between blowing on and eating the delicious soup.
Even worse than McDonald’s.”
Not possible.”
Trust me, it is.”
Then tell me about it.”
Bugger. I should have known this line of chatter would bring her to that question. If our roles had been reversed, I would have been curious, too. “Another time, maybe.”
Seriously? You know about how I ended up stuck here, and how the whole village knows my sorry state of affairs. I think you owe me at least a snippet of your life story.”
I stifle a sigh, take my time scooping up more of the broth and supping it. “Okay, okay. You’re right. But you might not like it.”
Keeping Secrets by Lucy Felthouse (@cw1985)
I can’t divulge too much here without giving lots away about Carrie and Flynn and their respective pasts, but let’s just say they both have secrets. Yes, I know it’s ironic that I’m keeping secrets about their secrets, but you don’t want me to give you spoilers, do you?
Anyway. After their unexpected meeting, the pair strike up a surprising friendship, and—this isn’t a spoiler, really, ‘cos, you know, it’s an erotic romance, so the romance is kind of implied—find themselves attracted to each other. But as I mentioned in an earlier post on this tour, they really do rub each other up the wrong way. And they both find it difficult to trust. Aaaaand they’re both ashamed of their respective secrets. So it’s hardly a surprise that they’re not in a sharing mood, is it? Nope—they clamp down tight and keep their pasts to themselves. Which is fine, I guess, given they’ve only just met. I don’t make a habit of divulging stuff to people I don’t know very well.
But what happens when their secrets and their pasts start to seriously affect their present and their future? And their present and future together? Do they even have a future together? I guess it depends if they can overcome their hurdles. Which, yes, you’ve guessed it, are the secrets. So what are their bloody secrets already?
You’ll just have to read the book and find out, won’t you? ;)

My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I very nice second chance romance. This is the first book I've read from Snyder and I really enjoyed it, but an epilogue with more HEA would have just finished it off for me.

An all round good read with likeable characters and a flowing story.

Cover Reveal - Heartbreak's A Bitch by S.M Phillips


Release date - 31st January 2017

Unlucky in love Emily Parker is about to turn thirty. The big three-0!
Yet, the dream house, perfect husband and cute little children are nowhere to be seen; a little like her sex life.

Instead, most nights consist of a dine in for one, a few bottles of wine and the odd fumble with Vinnie the Vibrator, if she's lucky; so long as she has remembered to stock up on the batteries.

Is this now her life?
It's a far cry from where she imagined it would be when she reached her prime.
Where did it all go wrong? Even the big wide world of online dating isn't getting her anywhere, fast.

Right now, the only thing that Emily knows, is that Heartbreak's a bitch!
