Excerpt: Prologue (adult content)

We arrive in Miami, check into our hotel, and immediately decide to check out the Miami night life.

Wearing a barely there silver, backless, halter dress and heels I was ready to dance the night

away. At five foot seven inches with my heels, my legs are going on for miles tonight. I put my hair in a

loose up do, frame my eyes with a smoky shadow, and add a clear lip gloss to finalize my look.

Brayden is dressed in his typical baggy jeans and t-shirt. He is six foot tall, more of a lanky build

with a slight beer belly forming, which is especially noticeable when he stands next to a very toned and

muscular Ryder. His dirty blonde hair and crystal blue eyes, which hold such depth they make me melt

every time he looks at me. We both love to go out. We met four years ago at a bar in Charlotte while we

were both celebrating another finished semester of college.

We arrive at Cameo nightclub in downtown Miami and immediately hit the dance floor. There is

something about the atmosphere of a club that just takes over my senses. The bodies pressed together,

each finding their own rhythm as the vibrations from the bass reverberates through the crowd.

Having Brayden up against my back side running his hands all over my body as we move to

the music is enough to bring my nipples to attention rubbing against the thin scrap of fabric, otherwise

known as my dress. His hands roam, as we dance, moving the back of my barely there dress over the

hills of my ass, leaving me exposed. My bare backside now grinding against the erection of his jeans is

delightful friction. He then places one hand upon my breast and begins to tease it, while he plunges two

fingers, from the other, into my hot core. I am so turned on I don’t care who sees me. When I am almost

ready to explode, he stops.

Grabbing me, he leads me to a back hallway, where he quickly pushes me up against the

wall, freeing himself and pounding into me. Raw, needing passion, transfers between us as I have an

earth shattering orgasm. Brayden follows right behind me. As we straighten ourselves, he smiles and

whispers, “I love that you never wear panties, baby.”

is still a big kid at heart. She is a small town country girl enjoying life and, Chelsea hopes that

her readers remember not to take life too seriously and to embrace your inner five year old,

Burned by Passion by Dez Burke

Title: Burned by Passion

Author: Dez Burke

Genre: African American Romance/Interracial Romance

Publisher: Pink Lotus Publishing, Inc.

Release Date: Aug 8 2013

Amazon | Barnes and Noble | Goodreads

Even good girls make mistakes.

Kira was shocked to meet her boss’s handsome, long-absent son and find him even more lethal in the flesh. He’d always been just a face in a photo - and nothing had prepared her for the way they clashed and burned when they finally met.

Blake Carter returned to America for a reunion with a father he hadn’t seen since he was ten. But Blake had never bargained for falling for his father’s sexy secretary, the beautiful and impressionable Kira Taylor…

Blake caught one glimpse of the gorgeous beauty from across the crowded room and felt the primal taste of desire like he’d never known. The sparks were more antagonism than attraction on her part as they collided over differences about the way he treated his father. But Blake had very strong persuasive skills when it came to bringing the vulnerable Kira to bend to his carnal passions…

When Kira first lays eyes on a picture of her bosses son Blake she is instantly attracted but at the same time has a boyfriend and doesn't want the hassle of an inter-racial relationship.

Blake wants Kira from the moment he sees her across the room, even when he thinks she is his dads date.

Kira and Blake have a lot to overcome to get to the happy ever after at the end, will assumptions and misunderstandings ruin that chance?

I liked the story this book had to tell, I loved the way that Blake and Kira overcome some pretty ingrained conditioning to make their love work. I thought that some parts of the story could have been filled out a bit more and found some of the imagery a bit wordy, however the story as a whole is good and it was a quick read. A lot is made in this book about the concerns of Kira about an interracial relationship and I loved that with Blake it was never even a thought that concerned him he fell for Kira not the color of her skin but the content of her soul.






Excerpt: EXPLICIT

“All these months,” he whispered. “You made me need you so bad I thought I’d go insane.”

Kira knew exactly what he meant because she’d suffered the same agony. The deprivation had cost her plenty. She couldn’t eat, couldn’t sleep. He’d been like a drug in her system that had her craving her next big hit.

He taught her body all over again to want, to need. Kira knew this was how it should’ve been, that first time. This baring heat. This fervency. This…oneness. Built up slow over time and made to last forever.

One large hand splayed across her waist, pinning her down to the bed. Kira let out a gasp, eyes flying open as Blake suddenly turned rougher, more dominant. He seized her lips, and plunged deep with his tongue, making her dizzy. He broke the kiss and left her panting, inching his lips over her arched neck to her pleasure spot right beneath her jaw. She quivered right to the tips of her toes.

His hand on her belly shifted up to her breasts, kneading them with unmistakable entitlement. He touched her like he owned her and she liked it. She liked it very much. She liked that when she arched against him and rubbed herself into his cock, his breath caught in a hiss. He burned for her as hotly as ever before, maybe even more than the first time. Definitely more. His desire was palpable, sending electric charges from his body to hers in a magnetizing transmission of pure lust. Kira’s fingers grappled for fistfuls of the sheets and held on tight, her spine bent back almost in half as Blake’s attention focused on her breasts. This time it was his mouth, tonguing her nipples until they beaded and tingled.

In our secret, kinky, Friday afternoon meetings I’m going to give her everything she wants and take everything I need. Will this be the answer to fixing our marriage?

Excerpt:

After all these years of sex being an afterthought, first for her and then, because of the gradual acceptance of how things were, for me, too, I’d stopped looking a long time ago for the signs and signals indicating Mia might be interested in returning back to sexual practices we shared before the twins were born.

Early on in our marriage, our love was incandescent, glowing hot and bright. Mia was the sun and, to my eyes, everything else paled to a dull gray in comparison to the vivid elation life held when she was near.

Our sex was explosive. With her, I felt completely safe exposing my somewhat shady and highly explicit sexual needs. She blindly followed my lead headlong into questionable and kinky practices, always open to anything I introduced to her.

Shit, my cock gets hard just remembering it. I stop to adjust myself before returning to my snow removal.
I smile at the memories rising to the conscious part of my brain. She was the perfect woman for
me. But it was never the same between us after the girls were born. At first I waited, holdingback and ignoring our sexual needs. Mia barely kept her head above water with twins and a fulltime job. Back then I paid close attention, looking for any indication she was ready, anticipating the moment we’d return to the sizzling lust once burning between us.

I never saw it.
With our new family, the dynamics within our home changed. The balance of power between Mia and I shifted. She was “in charge” of the kids, the home and by default, our sex life. She had a lot on her plate. Then the months stacked and became years. After so much time of almost nonexistent in quantity and vanilla in quality sex, I stopped looking for the signs we’d ever return. The little sex we’ve had since the twins were born hasn’t held my attention much, and I stopped wondering if she cared years ago. After years of withstanding the bubbling need to dominate Mia like I used to,

the urge gradually faded.
I stop pushing the heavy, wet snow and lean against the shovel to catch my breath. The warm air from my lungs creates wispy clouds as I exhale hard fast breaths. I take a moment to experience the wonder of the utterly black sky dotted with stars and the silent peace of the moment. I love Mia and I’ve never cheated. But I’ve thought about it. Only someone with the knowledge
of what it feels like to live this way for a long time can come to understand the thought processes of people who are unfaithful to their spouses. My guess is most of the time, the cheater loves their partner. They only do it for the thrill, the excitement of new sex with a new person. It’s the anticipation of the forbidden act, the rush of brushing bare skin against someone new, the
desperate I-can’t-wait-to-fuck-you kisses as clothes fly off and bodies surge toward the bed that captures a person’s interest.

I grip the handle to my shovel and begin pushing snow again. Now she’s ready. It’s time to take back my role within our marriage.
This is it. It’s my time. No, it’s our time again after so many years. I’m going to do everything possible to be the man I long to be both in and out of the bedroom. I feel twenty-five again. I savor the power rushing through me at remembering the slow progression of Mia’s training all those years ago. It’s potent. Jesus. The comfortable mental slip back into that man feels totally natural. I recognize, maybe with the first truly clear head I’ve had on this subject for years, precisely how stunted we’ve become. There’s nobody to blame but me. She took on so much. The least I could have done was ensure we didn’t land here, where we are today. I push my last strip of snow and walk back toward the house, drawing in a clean breath of air and blowing it out.

It feels like I’ve been freed.
I’m going to give her everything she wants, and take everything I need.

Axel (Corps Security #1) by Harper Sloan

Fate hasn’t always been friends with Isabelle West. In fact, fate has been a downright bitch.

Isabelle has learned the hard way how hard life can be when fate isn’t by your side. It can hand you dreams on silver platters, but it can snatch them right back and hand you nightmares. One thing Isabelle knew for sure fate was consistent with was taking away everything she ever loved.

For the last two years Isabelle has been slowly clearing the clouds of her past. Happiness is finally on the horizon. She has a thriving business, great friends, and her life back. All she has to do is jump over the last hurdle…her ex-husband.

When problems start causing her to fear her new life, and memories that are better left forgotten start rushing to the surface the last thing she needs is a ghost from her past to come knocking on her door.

Axel never thought he would look into the eyes of Isabelle West again, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to now. He’s carried his anger for so long he isn’t sure he can just turn it off, but when he is faced with protecting her and an unexpected desire to have her again, life gets a little more complicated.

How will Axel and Isabelle deal when all their cards are put on the table and everything they thought was true blows up in their faces?

Axel is a gritty tale of young lovers given a second chance after heartbreaking life changing events put Isabelle in danger and Axel and Isabelle back in each others lives.

When Isabelle's life is once again in danger after her escape from her abusive ex-husband she allows her friend Greg to set up a consultation with a good friend of his from Corps Security to keep her safe, she would never have believed that the man who was set to protect her would be the love of her love she thought dead.

Axel can't believe the woman who he is charged with protecting is the only woman he ever loved, she broke his heart and soured him on relationships when she disappeared after she promised to be there when he returned from Basic Training.

This book is full of imagery that if you have ever been a victim of domestic violence my disturb you, I know they upset me and I have never been in that situation. However this is a very well written book and those images are a vital part of the make up of the heroine of the book and completely necessary. I don't care for violence for violence sake and I don't even like sex in books just for the sake of throwing in a sex scene, this was done well.

We are also treated to a fantastic love story of young love reunited and the trials they face both apart and together. We do have some rather steamy scenes that bring in the element of sex for the sake of making the story better, it flows and it is natural. There is a whole lot of the F-bomb in this book but to me it made the characters seem more real. No flowery prose in this book as I said gritty but really a great story.

Escape to My Arms‏ by Heather Thurmeier

What if The End is just the beginning?

Sara’s been preparing for this moment her whole life—she just never believed it would actually happen. With her bug-out bag and emergency food already in her truck, her only goal is to get to her family’s hidden bunker and wait out the pandemic that’s hit every major cruise ship port in the US. But her plan quickly falls apart. She’s out of gas, her route to the bunker is now a two-lane parking lot with no alternative in sight, and her only weapon is a pocketknife. For an experienced prepper, she’s made every rookie mistake.

Dane believes he’s safe in his cabin, off the beaten path and in the woods with his own source for water, electricity and an endless supply of food to hunt. After finding Sara stranded and alone, he’s suddenly not only providing for and protecting himself, but also the girl who wandered out of the woods and into his life. When looters come looking to take what he has, Sara and Dane’s only option is to make a run for their last hope—the bunker.

Can Sara and Dane find safety in each other’s arms and will they survive long enough to escape to a future together?

When an unknown virus starts to spread inward across the country from cruise ships pandemonium breaks out, good thing Sara Miller and her family were prepared in case something like this ever happened. To bad Sara forgot to fill her gas tank.

Dane Tyson has an isolated cabin that he feels safe in he has a small stockpile of weapons, canned goods and he can hunt for his meat. When he finds an SUV in the middle of his woods he is surprised to find the beautiful Sara hiding in the back. When she hurts her knee and has to stay with him for a couple of days the sexual tension rises.

I love the preppers tv shows and so a prepper romance like Escape to My Arms is right up my alley. I love that mixed into the love story and the post-apocalyptic world you can read some of the things that Dane and Sara have done to prepare for a break down of society. Dane and Sara have sexual attraction in spades but Sara has made a promise to her family never to reveal the preparations they have made for just such an occasion.

With Sara being a part of a prepper family and this the story of her journey to safety I am hopeful that we will get future stories of the rest of the family or maybe others like them. I enjoyed Escape to My Arms a great deal.

Excerpt:

She tightened her grip on his waist. His pulse slowing, he closed his eyes, feeling oddly at peace despite the danger hounding their heels. Maybe it was because she’d suffered as much as he had. Maybe because she understood how deep a loss like that could sear. But he realized that he liked being around Haley. He respected her. Admired her.

He was falling for her. Hard.

His stomach sank. He had no right to pursue her. He was the last person she needed, unsuitable in every way. She needed someone who could protect her, defend her, not an unstable wreck like him.

But he couldn’t seem to resist her. Everything about her impressed him -- her loyalty, her determination to safeguard others, her refusal to run from the enemy dogging their steps.

And God help him, but he wanted to feel that again, that idealism, that drive to make a difference in the world, that need to battle the bad guys and keep the defenseless safe.

To be the man that he once was.

Excerpt:

“Shut the front door, you bitch!” Jade was jumping up and down and squealing. Sarah just had this mega watt smile on her face and her eyes were twinkling. “So what, are you guys like a couple or something? Oh my god, this is fucking crazy!”

I stood up and started to pull Jade back down to her seat. “Jade please calm down, we are in the library for goodness sakes.”

The second Jade’s ass touched the seat she jumped back up and started to leave the library. “Jade, where do you think you’re going?”

Jade stopped dead in her tracks and turned around. “Um, what does it look like I’m doing? I’ve never seen pigs fly. I’m just going outside to see what they look like.” With that she turned and walked out of the library.

“Cheese and rice, it’s not that crazy that we’re dating. Is it Sarah?”

Sarah was still smiling at me and I hadn’t seen in her blink in a while so I waved my hand in front of her face. “Sarah, are you ok? Are you broken or something? Do I need to reboot you?”

Sarah laughed and slapped my hand away. “Oh you smartass, I’m fine. I’m just shocked is all and extremely happy. My two best friends are dating. I just can’t wait to help you pick out your wedding gown and throw you the best bachelorette party ever!”

The second I heard the word wedding my stomach dropped and I became speechless.

Sarah waved a hand in front of my face like what she had just said was not that big of a deal. “Oh sweetie, calm down. I’m just kidding around, but honestly, I could see it happening. Don’t worry and don’t you dare let it get to you, ok. Matter of fact, how about you just forget I said anything, ok?”

“Um, yeah. O – Ok.” Like that would happen.

By the time I was done with my internal freak out Jade came back in the room and fell down into her seat. “Well, I missed them. Thanks a lot, Iz. So how amazeballs is he at kissing? Did you instantly orgasm?”

“Oh my gosh Jade, you really are crazy! All I will tell you is that his lips are amazing and his hands are . . .”

“What about my hands, sweetheart?”

My heart sped up and I started to turn around. Maddox was looking down at me with a huge smile on his face and those damn dimples were making a sexy ass appearance. “Um, exactly how much did you hear? And who said I was talking about you, munchkin?”

He started to laugh and bent down and kissed me on the lips. I thought it was going to be a simple peck but he put one of his hands behind my head to deepen the kiss. Then his tongue was in my mouth swirling around with mine and the other was on my hips holding me still. I heard sighs from behind me but I was way too mesmerized by Maddox’s lips. I was hypnotized. I started to put my hands up around his neck to play with his wavy hair but he broke away. His lips moved up into a devilish grin and his eyes sparkled. “So who were you talking about, sweetheart?”

Maddox knew he had me right where he wanted me. I decided to go with the truth and see what he had to say about that. “You. Only you.”

His smile got even bigger and I swear I saw fireworks go off in his eyes. “So you ready to leave? I’m really hungry and am ready to have some dinner.”

“Um yea-” I didn’t get to finish my sentence because Maddox pulled me up over his shoulders and turned to walk away. Before we made our way out of the library I heard Gabe yelling, “Atta boy,” Sarah laughing and Jade yelled, “So that’s what the kids are calling it these days? Dinner? Well, I hope you two have some really spicy, hot, dirty dinner!” and then she winked at us.
