By 4 Comments

Jezebel by K. Larsen <— IS it my imagination!??? It’s BACK UP my friends!!!! For some reason it was up for only a few days, BLEW READER’S MINDS and then it disappeared off of Amazon, and I have no idea why… Ohhhhh the intrigue ’cause EVERYONE seemed to have LOVED the first version.

AND NOW THE COMPANION NOVELLA IS UP TOO!!! —-> Lying in Wait: A Companion Novella to Jezebel

Amy: Maryse, don’t forget about Jezebel in the midst of this week’s bookgasms. ;) That. Freaking. Ending. I was REELING. Even if it seems slow at parts and even if you think you have things figured out, stick with it! The ending will have you saying WTF, even if you don’t ever say that, LOL!! …  I was saying yesterday that I was pretty sure I had figured out what was happening (the twist), and I even started to feel a little indifferent towards the story near the end because I was right about it, but then BA-BAM!!! What happened was so WTF to me and was so NOT the ending I was expecting. If for nothing else about it, read Jezebel for that twist. ;) read more

“Guess the book” time! Dana needs out book help! We still need help with this reader question! We tried on Facebook, but our fellow reader said still no go, so maybe someone here knows?

She asks:

“I’ve been driving myself crazy for the past week trying to remember a book I read. Not sure when I read it, I need to start keeping a book journal.

Anyway, the book was about a woman who was interested in learning about being a submissive and had a girlfriend who was into that scene. read more

C.L. Stone – The Ghost Bird Series Reading Order

By 1 Comment

This series is L-O-V-E-D by many in our very own crew here!!!

Michelle: I have to plug it again because it really is one of my favorite series – House of Korba came out today which is the newest book in the Ghostbird series by CL Stone. They are crazy addicting… It looks like a young adult novel but especially in the later books, ramps up on mature topics and romance. It is already riske since there is one girl and 7 guys who are all into her. And the Academy part is not what you think…ie not just a school. read more

<— To celebrate Lauren Blakely’s latest book release (Sweet Sinful Nights), she has sent over an excerpt, a little note about the books, a Q&A AND a signed book giveaway!

Message from Lauren:

Dear Readers:

I am thrilled to share some exciting news with you! Many of you have been patiently waiting for SWEET SINFUL NIGHTS, the story of Brent Nichols and the woman he loves. Many of you already know Brent since he’s the younger brother of Clay Nichols, from NIGHT AFTER NIGHT….The good news is this-SWEET SINFUL NIGHTS is Book One in a new erotic romance series, Sinful Nights, written in the high-heat, high-stakes, high-glamour style of the Seductive Nights series that readers know and love, but heading in a new direction with a new family that’s full of drama, checkered pasts and dangerous life-and-death secrets.

SWEET SINFUL NIGHTS kicks off this new series with a fiery, passionate, and suspenseful story of two lovers reuniting after ten years. Each book in this series follow a new couple and will be set against the backdrop of sin, money, sex, greed, passion and love in the city of Las Vegas. Brent’s love interest is Shannon Paige, and she has three brothers. Yep, you guessed it – each of her brothers will be getting a book! And while each book in the Sinful Nights series follows a new couple, get ready for a storyline that will carry across the entire series — a story of danger, risk and high-stakes suspense.
